Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Global Indemnity included elsewhere in this report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to the Company's plans and strategy, constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this Item 2 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. For more information regarding the Company's business and operations, please see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
On July 19, 2013, the Company paid the entire outstanding principal amount on its guaranteed senior notes. The payment of $58.6 million consisted of principal of $54.0 million and interest of $4.6 million, which included a make-whole provision of $2.9 million. This payment was funded by borrowing $60.0 million pursuant to a daily credit margin borrowing facility with a borrowing rate that is tied to LIBOR and is currently less than 1%. Approximately $75.0 million in collateral was deposited to support the borrowing. The amount borrowed against the margin account may fluctuate as routine investment transactions, such as dividends received, investment income received, maturities and pay-downs, impact cash balances. The borrowing is subject to maintenance margin, which is a minimum account balance that must be maintained. A decline in market conditions could require an additional deposit of collateral. The margin facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, insolvency, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with any representations or warranties, failure to adequately assure future performance, and failure of a guarantor to perform under its guarantee.
On June 14, 2013, A.M. Best affirmed the financial strength rating of "A"
(Excellent) for Wind River Reinsurance and its U.S. insurance subsidiaries. Wind
River Reinsurance and subsidiaries have a financial size category of "XI" with
A.M. Best, which represents an adjusted policyholder's surplus of $750 million to $1 billion.
The Company's Insurance Operations distribute property and casualty insurance
products through a group of approximately 100 professional general agencies that
have limited quoting and binding authority, as well as a number of wholesale
insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company's insurance products to insureds
through retail insurance brokers. The Company operates predominantly in the
excess and surplus lines marketplace. To manage its operations, the Company
differentiates them by product classification. These product classifications
are: 1) Penn-America, which includes property and general liability products for
small commercial businesses distributed through a select network of wholesale
general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which
includes property, general liability, and professional lines products
distributed through program administrators with specific binding authority; and
3) Diamond State, which includes property, casualty, and professional lines products distributed through wholesale brokers and program administrators with specific binding authority.
The Company's Reinsurance Operations segment provides reinsurance solutions through brokers, program managers and primary writers, including regional insurance companies, and consists solely of the operations of Wind River Reinsurance. Wind River Reinsurance is a Bermuda based treaty reinsurer of excess and surplus lines carriers, specialty property and casualty insurance companies and U.S. regional insurance writers. Wind River Reinsurance conducts business in Bermuda and is focused on using its capital capacity to write catastrophe-oriented placements and other niche or specialty-focused treaties meeting the Company's risk tolerance and return thresholds. Given the current pricing environment, Wind River Reinsurance continues to cautiously deploy and manage its capital while seeking to position itself as a niche reinsurance solution provider.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from premiums paid on insurance policies that it writes and from income generated by its investment portfolio, net of fees paid for investment management services. The amount of insurance premiums that the Company receives is a function of the amount and type of policies it writes, as well as of prevailing market prices.
The Company's expenses include losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, corporate and other operating expenses, interest, investment expenses, and income taxes. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated by management and reflect the Company's best estimate of ultimate losses and costs arising during the reporting period and revisions of prior period estimates. The Company records losses and loss adjustment expenses based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses the Company expects to incur on the insurance policies it writes. The ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses will depend on the actual costs to resolve claims. Acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and premium taxes that are typically a percentage of the premiums on the insurance policies the Company writes, net of ceding commissions earned from reinsurers. Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and general operating expenses. Corporate and other operating expenses are comprised primarily of outside legal fees, other professional and accounting fees, directors' fees, management fees, salaries and benefits for company personnel whose services relate to the support of corporate activities, and capital duty taxes incurred. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on senior notes payable, junior subordinated debentures, and funds held on behalf of others.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation.
Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Although variability is inherent in estimates, the Company believes that the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses reflects its best estimate for future amounts needed to pay losses and related loss adjustment expenses and the impact of its reinsurance coverage with respect to insured events.
In developing loss and loss adjustment expense ("loss" or "losses") reserve estimates for the Company's Insurance Operations, its actuaries perform detailed reserve analyses each quarter. To perform the analysis, the data is organized at a "reserve category" level. A reserve category can be a line of business such as commercial automobile liability, or it can be a particular type of claim such as construction defect. The reserves within a reserve category level are characterized as short-tail through long-tail. For long-tail business, it will generally be several years between the time the business is written and the time when all claims are settled. The Company's long-tail exposures include general liability, professional liability, products liability, commercial automobile liability, and excess and umbrella. Short-tail exposures include property, commercial automobile physical damage, and equine mortality. To manage its insurance operations, the Company differentiates by product classifications, which are Penn-America, United National, and Diamond State. For further discussion about the Company's product classifications, see "General - Business Segments - Insurance Operations" in Item 1 of Part I of the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Each of the Company's product classifications contain both long-tail and short-tail exposures. Every reserve category is analyzed by the Company's actuaries each quarter. The analyses generally include reviews of losses gross of reinsurance and net of reinsurance.
Loss reserve estimates for the Company's Reinsurance Operations are developed by independent, external actuaries; however management is responsible for the final determination of loss reserve selections. The data for this analysis is organized by treaty and treaty year. As with the Company's reserves for its Insurance Operations, reserves for its Reinsurance Operations are characterized as short-tail through long-tail. Long-tail exposures include workers compensation, professional liability, and excess and umbrella liability. Short-tail exposures are primarily catastrophe exposed property accounts. Every treaty is reviewed each quarter, both gross and net of reinsurance.
In addition to the Company's internal reserve analysis, independent external actuaries will perform a full, detailed review of the Insurance and Reinsurance Operations' reserves annually. The Company does not rely upon the review by the independent actuaries to develop its reserves; however, the data is used to corroborate the analysis performed by the in-house actuarial staff and management.
The methods used to project ultimate losses for both long-tail and short-tail exposures include, but are not limited to, the following:
� Paid Development method;
� Incurred Development method;
� Expected Loss Ratio method;
� Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid loss;
� Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and incurred loss; and
� Average Loss method.
The Paid Development method estimates ultimate losses by reviewing paid loss patterns and applying them to accident years with further expected changes in paid loss. Selection of the paid loss pattern requires analysis of several factors including the impact of inflation on claims costs, the rate at which claims professionals make claim payments and close claims, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes, the impact of large claim payments and other factors. Claim cost inflation itself requires evaluation of changes in the cost of repairing or replacing property, changes in the cost of medical care, changes in the cost of wage replacement, judicial decisions, legislative changes and other factors. Because this method assumes that losses are paid at a consistent rate, changes in any of these factors can impact the results. Since the method does not rely on case reserves, it is not directly influenced by changes in the adequacy of case reserves.
For many reserve categories, paid loss data for recent periods may be too immature or erratic for accurate predictions. This situation often exists for long-tail exposures. In addition, changes in the factors described above may result in inconsistent payment patterns. Finally, estimating the paid loss pattern subsequent to the most mature point available in the data analyzed often involves considerable uncertainty for long-tail reserve categories.
The Incurred Development method is similar to the Paid Development method, but it uses case incurred losses instead of paid losses. Since this method uses more data (case reserves in addition to paid losses) than the Paid Development method, the incurred development patterns may be less variable than paid development patterns. However, selection of the incurred loss pattern requires analysis of all of the factors listed in the description of the Paid Development method. In addition, the inclusion of case reserves can lead to distortions if changes in case reserving practices have taken place and the use of case incurred losses may not eliminate the issues associated with estimating the incurred loss pattern subsequent to the most mature point available.
The Expected Loss Ratio method multiplies premiums by an expected loss ratio to produce ultimate loss estimates for each accident year. This method may be useful if loss development patterns are inconsistent, losses emerge very slowly, or there is relatively little loss history from which to estimate future losses. The selection of the expected loss ratio requires analysis of loss ratios from earlier accident years or pricing studies and analysis of inflationary trends, frequency trends, rate changes, underwriting changes, and other applicable factors.
The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid losses is a combination of the Paid Development method and the Expected Loss Ratio method. This method normally determines expected loss ratios similar to the method used for the Expected Loss Ratio method and requires analysis of the same factors described above. The method assumes that only future losses will develop at the expected loss ratio level. The percent of paid loss to ultimate loss implied from the Paid Development method is used to determine what percentage of ultimate loss is yet to be paid. The use of the pattern from the Paid Development method requires consideration of all factors listed in the description of the Paid Development method. The estimate of losses yet to be paid is added to current paid losses to estimate the ultimate loss for each year. This method will react very slowly if actual ultimate loss ratios are different from expectations due to changes not accounted for by the expected loss ratio calculation.
The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and incurred losses is similar to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method using premiums and paid losses except that it uses case incurred losses. The use of case incurred losses instead of paid losses can result in development patterns that are less variable than paid development patterns.
However, the inclusion of case reserves can lead to distortions if changes in case reserving practices have taken place. The method requires analysis of all the factors that need to be reviewed for the Expected Loss Ratio and Incurred Development methods.
The Average Loss method multiplies a projected number of ultimate claims by an estimated ultimate average loss for each accident year to produce ultimate loss estimates. Since projections of the ultimate number of claims are often less variable than projections of ultimate loss, this method can provide more reliable results for reserve categories where loss development patterns are inconsistent or too variable to be relied on exclusively. In addition, this method can more directly account for changes in coverage that impact the number and size of claims. However, this method can be difficult to apply to situations where very large claims or a substantial number of unusual claims result in volatile average claim sizes. Projecting the ultimate number of claims requires analysis of several factors including the rate at which policyholders report claims to the Company, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes and other factors. Estimating the ultimate average loss requires analysis of the impact of large losses and claim cost trends based on changes in the cost of repairing or replacing property, changes in the cost of medical care, changes in the cost of wage replacement, judicial decisions, legislative changes and other factors.
For many exposures, especially those that can be considered long-tail, a particular accident year may not have a sufficient volume of paid losses to produce a statistically reliable estimate of ultimate losses. In such a case, the Company's actuaries typically assign more weight to the Incurred Development method than to the Paid Development method. As claims continue to settle and the volume of paid losses increases, the actuaries may assign additional weight to the Paid Development method. For most of the Company's reserve categories, even the incurred losses for accident years that are early in the claim settlement process will not be of sufficient volume to produce a reliable estimate of ultimate losses. In these cases, the Company will not assign any weight to the Paid and Incurred Development methods and will use the Bornhuetter-Ferguson and Expected Loss Ratio methods. For short-tail exposures, the Paid and Incurred Development methods can often be relied on sooner primarily because the Company's history includes a sufficient number of years to cover the entire period over which paid and incurred losses are expected to change. However, the Company may also use the Expected Loss Ratio, Bornhuetter-Ferguson and Average Loss methods for short-tail exposures.
Generally, reserves for long-tail lines use the Expected Loss Ratio method for the most recent accident year, shift to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods for the next two years, and then shift to the Incurred and/or Paid Development method. Claims related to umbrella business are usually reported later than claims for other long-tail lines. For umbrella business, the Expected Loss Ratio and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods are used for as many as six years before shifting to the Incurred Development method. Reserves for short-tail lines use the Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods for the most recent accident year and shift to the Incurred and/or Paid Development method in subsequent years.
For other more complex reserve categories where the above methods may not produce reliable indications, the Company uses additional methods tailored to the characteristics of the specific situation. Such reserve categories include losses from construction defects and asbestos and environmental ("A&E").
For construction defect losses, the Company's actuaries organize losses by the year in which they were reported. To estimate losses from claims that have not been reported, various extrapolation techniques are applied to the pattern of claims that have been reported to estimate the number of claims yet to be reported. This process requires analysis of several factors including the rate at which policyholders report claims to the Company, the impact of judicial decisions, the impact of underwriting changes and other factors. An average claim size is determined from past experience and applied to the number of unreported claims to estimate reserves for these claims.
Establishing reserves for A&E and other mass tort claims involves considerably more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, an increase in bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos-related liabilities, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. The insurance industry continues to receive a substantial number of asbestos-related bodily injury claims, with an increasing focus being directed toward other parties, including installers of products containing asbestos rather than against asbestos manufacturers. This shift has resulted in significant insurance coverage litigation implicating applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including but not limited to, determinations as to whether or not an asbestos-related bodily injury claim is subject to aggregate limits of liability
found in most comprehensive general liability policies. In response to these continuing developments, management increased gross and net A&E reserves during 2008 to reflect its best estimate of A&E exposures. In 2009, one of the Company's insurance companies was dismissed from a lawsuit seeking coverage from it and other unrelated insurance companies. The suit involved issues related to approximately 3,900 existing asbestos related bodily injury claims and future claims. The dismissal was the result of a settlement of a disputed claim related to accident year 1984. The settlement is conditioned upon certain legal events occurring which may trigger financial obligations by the insurance company.
On October 9, 2012, The United States District Court for the Northern District of California (District Court) issued an order confirming an amended plan of reorganization (Plan) for a named insured that included an injunction under 11 U.S.C. Section 524(g) (US bankruptcy code) related to the suit above. The injunction, also called a "channeling injunction," precludes, inter alia, non-settling insurers from asserting claims against one of the Company's insurance companies and asbestos related claims by third parties against one of the Company's insurance companies that are related to the named insured. An appeal from the District Court order has been filed with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. A motion for stay to prevent the Plan and the channeling injunction from taking effect has been denied by the District Court. Management will continue to monitor the developments of the litigation to determine if any additional financial exposure is present.
In addition, the Company has exposure to other asbestos related matters. In 2013, two claims were reported on an excess policy that was written in 1985. Management will continue to monitor the developments of the litigation noted above as well as the new claims that have been reported to determine if any additional financial exposure is present.
Reserve analyses performed by the Company's internal and external actuaries result in actuarial point estimates. The results of the detailed reserve reviews were summarized and discussed with the Company's senior management to determine the best estimate of reserves. This group considered many factors in making this decision. The factors included, but were not limited to, the historical pattern and volatility of the actuarial indications, the sensitivity of the actuarial indications to changes in paid and incurred loss patterns, the consistency of claims handling processes, the consistency of case reserving practices, changes in the Company's pricing and underwriting, and overall pricing and underwriting trends in the insurance market.
Management's best estimate at June 30, 2013 was recorded as the loss reserve. Management's best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company's actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company's judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $844.9 million and $615.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013. A breakout of the Company's gross and net reserves, excluding the effects of the intercompany pooling arrangements and intercompany stop loss and quota share reinsurance agreements, as of June 30, 2013 is as follows:
Gross Reserves (Dollars in thousands) Case IBNR(1) Total Insurance Operations $ 231,031 $ 506,956 $ 737,987 Reinsurance Operations 39,662 67,269 106,931 Total $ 270,693 $ 574,225 $ 844,918
Net Reserves(2) Case IBNR(1) Total Insurance Operations $ 152,435 $ 357,118 $ 509,553 Reinsurance Operations 39,662 65,868 105,530 Total $ 192,097 $ 422,986 $ 615,083
(1) Losses incurred but not reported, including the expected future emergence of case reserves.
(2) Does not include reinsurance receivable on paid losses.
The Company continually reviews these estimates and, based on new developments and information, includes adjustments of the estimated ultimate liability in the operating results for the periods in which the adjustments are made. The establishment of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves makes no provision for the possible
broadening of coverage by legislative action or judicial interpretation, or the emergence of new types of losses not sufficiently represented in the Company's historical experience or that cannot yet be quantified or estimated. The Company regularly analyzes its reserves and reviews pricing and reserving methodologies so that future adjustments to prior year reserves can be minimized. However, given the complexity of this process, reserves require continual updates and the ultimate liability may be higher or lower than previously indicated. See Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for details concerning the changes in the estimate for incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses related to prior accident years.
The detailed reserve analyses that the Company's internal and external actuaries complete use a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods and techniques to produce a number of estimates of ultimate loss. The Company determines its best estimate of ultimate loss by reviewing the various estimates and assigning weight to each estimate given the characteristics of the reserve category being reviewed. The reserve estimate is the difference between the estimated ultimate loss and the losses paid to date. The difference between the estimated ultimate loss and the case incurred loss (paid loss plus case reserve) is considered to be losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). IBNR calculated as such includes a provision for development on known cases (supplemental development) as well as a provision for claims that have occurred but have not yet been reported (pure IBNR).
In light of the many uncertainties associated with establishing the estimates and making the assumptions necessary to establish reserve levels, the Company reviews its reserve estimates on a regular basis and makes adjustments in the period that the need for such adjustments is determined. The anticipated future loss emergence continues to be reflective of historical patterns, and the selected development patterns have not changed significantly from those underlying the Company's most recent analyses.
The key assumptions fundamental to the reserving process are often different for various reserve categories and accident years. Some of these assumptions are explicit assumptions that are required of a particular method, but most of the assumptions are implicit and cannot be precisely quantified. An example of an explicit assumption is the pattern employed in the Paid Development method. However, the assumed pattern is itself based on several implicit assumptions such as the impact of inflation on medical costs and the rate at which claim professionals close claims. Loss frequency is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity is a measure of the average size of claims. Each reserve segment has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made.
Previous reserve analyses have resulted in the Company's identification of . . .

(Ten Speed Press, 2012)
New combinations of ice cream flavors such as honey lavender, brown sugar, basil and balsamic strawberry have become popular at artisan ice cream parlors across the country. With Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones, featuring 90 recipes from Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco, you can learn to make your own unique frozen treats.
When Anne Walker and Kris Hoogerhyde opened Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco in 2006, they wanted to do things a little differently than most ice cream shops. Their chefs would make ice cream in small batches to ensure freshness, pack in the flavor with top-notch ingredients and be completely transparent by preparing their treats in a kitchen with large windows. Since their opening week, they have had a line out the door. They've now gone a step further in sharing their methods by publishing a book with their favorite recipes.
Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones features a section on the basics, including ice cream, sorbet, ice pops and cookie crumb pie crust. Tips scattered throughout this section work well for solving mistakes that may arise while following the recipes. One such tip that helped us, was how to save your ice cream base if it is heated too long and "breaks," meaning the eggs start to scramble and the base separates into curdle-like chunks.
The remaining sections are divided into ingredient groups, including vanilla, coffee and tea, caramel and herbs and spices, and the ice creams themselves are creamy and delicious. The authors also include recipes for other sweets that can be combined with ice cream, such as marshmallows, whipped cream, cookies and more.
Among the stranger-sounding recipes that are surprisingly tasty is the basil ice cream on page 176. Although basil sounds off-putting at first, the authors point out it is related to mint, and thus makes a refreshing ice cream flavor. The result is a light, creamy mix of familiar and fresh. Other delectable sounding ideas include earl grey ice cream, lime-blackberry ice pops and apple pie ice cream.
Calories and serving sizes are not listed, but the recipes have enough cream and sugar that they probably aren't for calorie-counters anyway. It is also important to note that you need an ice cream maker to make all of the ice cream recipes in the book. If you own the machine though, this book is an excellent way to add a refreshing, cool twist to your summer kitchen.

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) -- The Quincy Notre Dame wrestling program is gearing up for its biggest event of the season.
The Raiders will play host to their annual QND Invitational on Saturday which includes 17 teams with several of those squads teams from the tri-state area plus the likes of Kirksville, East St. Louis, and St. Thomas More from Champaign.
QND head coach Ken Mansell says with regionals coming up next weekend the event gives his team a golden chance to prepare for the postseason.
"With all the competition coming in the main goal with all the kids is to put themselves in a position where they have the utmost confidence in themselves to be in a position to advance to the state tournament," Mansell said.
"Win, lose, or draw this weekend doesn't deter them from their goal of going on to state and putting themselves on the platform. However, they need to prove themselves out there."
The QND Invitational begins at 9:15 a.m. and runs throughout the day at The Pit.

PICKLES. Rick's Picks for Pickle Lovers
Who likes a good pickle? I know I do. I can hardly walk pass when I see a stand selling pickles. It takes me back to my younger days when I think you could dip into a barrel and get a good dill pickle for less than a buck.
Well, bring back the memories because Rick's Picks, launched in 2004 by Rick Field, has a pickle for every pickle lover. "From fun to hobby to obsession" says Rick, is how his business started.
With more than 14 varieties available, Rick offers packages including "The Sampler" for the pickle connoisseur with 11 varieties from sweet to spicy; the "Pickle Party Pack"; his "Topseller Pack" which features his best selling pickles or even a "Pickle Club" for the pickle enthusiast which will keep you crunching on pickles for a year.
All pickles are natural, hand made and hand packed. If you love 'em straight from the jar (my favorite); want to use them in salads or other ways, you won't be left in a pickle when it comes to ideas because at www.Rickspicksnyc.com, you'll find some recipe suggestions as well.
Rick's Picks have been featured in O: The Oprah Magazine and also in The New York Times, New York Press, and New York Magazine. I was lucky enough to meet Jina Kim, directory of Sales and Marketing at a holiday gift show earlier this year and that's when I got my chance to "discover" these cleverly named pickles.

I also own one and am happy with the bike.
I live in South Africa, and the cbr750f was brought in as a grey import, meaning that Honda SA did not import.
I am looking for a manual. I think that the model year is between 1987 to 1990; Honda SA can't help me.
The only thing wrong is the right hand indicator lens has cracked, looking from the front of the bike. I want to replace it, but can't find spares in my country.
The bike is still in its original colours is and very neat, and yes, it's underrated. The bike still performs beautiful for a machine that is twenty years old.
Hope I can get some help from my fellow bikers far, faraway.

WABASH — Adams Central rocked out 25 hits in a 10-1, 14-3 double-header sweep at Southwood Saturday, improving to 15-6 on the season.
The Jets pounded out seven runs in the first two innings of the first game, and then the solid Jets' defense took control of the game Sammie Baker slammed three singles and Olivia Macklin knocked in three runs for the Lady Jets.

Wet weather in the area has not affected only sporting events.
Adams Health Network (AHN) Executive Director Marvin L. Baird reported to AHN trustees at their meeting this week that construction work at two of the organization's work sites have crawled to a snail's pace due to wet grounds.
"I get tingles."
Those three words were used by a veteran Adams Central teacher, Harry Anderson, to express how happy he feels about using the New Tech (NT) style of team instruction.
At the May meeting of the AC school board, a lengthy presentation about the first year of NT at AC was made by four teachers, five students, and high school Principal Sean McConnell.
FORT WAYNE — It was a big day for Ben Snider. It was a huge day for Troy Tonner.
The Adams Central juniors turned in some of the best performances of their lives as Tonner won both the shot and discus, setting the AC record in the latter, and Snider celebrated his first year in organized track with a third-place shot put finish and a ticket to regional.
"I'm blessed," stated a euphoric Tonner after a brief celebration with his friend and teammate Snider.
OSSIAN—Bellmont posted its second straight 5-0 win in as many nights and Adams Central avenged one of its four season losses Thursday night to assure an all-Adams County final in the IHSAA tennis sectional being held at Norwell High School.
Or as Bellmont tennis coach coach Tom Smith succinctly noted "we know AC and they know us. It should be a good match."
Bellmont pounded out its win with solid singles play while doubles combination continued to show improvement.

It seems unlikely that the self-defense forces could've used Buk surface-to-air missile systems to down the Malaysian plane, retired Brig. Gen. Kevin Ryan, the director of the Defense and Intelligence Project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, said.
"It takes a lot of training and a lot of coordination to fire one of these and hit something," he told CNN. "This is not the kind of weapon a couple of guys are going to pull out of a garage and fire."
According to Ryan, if the plane was really taken down then it was done by a professional military force.

Too bad the older generation leaders, who are out of touch with reality/ashamed of their role in history, didn't want the youth to learn about what war did to Japan,and why. Maybe Haruka Shimazaki needs a lesson about the destruction of Japan during WWII, culminating in the winbombs destroying two cities.There is nothing cute about war.
Just wait until they start returning in body bags again, but knowing the japanese they maybe will be blaming someone else for it.

But we are talking about Japan. The capacity for sending electctricty over very long distances was never built into the system. They have a very efficient interlocking system in place to compensate in times of disaster, but not for the case at hand.
An example of this is that the west and east parts of Japan operation on 50 or 60 hertz and there is only a limited number of sub stations that can convert across at a great cost. Therefore new trasmission and distrubution system would need to be built in Japan where they already exist elsewhere.
Then the system is not efficient as to trying to make out to be since they can't even compensate now.

CBS Corporation is an American mass media corporation focused on commercial broadcasting, publishing, billboards and television production, with most of its operations in the United States. The president and chief executive of the company is Leslie Moonves. Sumner Redstone, owner of National Amusements, is CBS's majority shareholder and serves as executive chairman. The company began trading on the NYSE on January 3, 2006. Until then, the corporation was known as Viacom, and is the legal successor to said company.[2] A new company, keeping the Viacom name was spun off from CBS.

CBS has its headquarters in CBS Building, Midtown, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States.

News: Juelz Santana On Dipset, "[We're] Just Like The Mafia" [Video]
Wednesday, Oct 27, 2010 1:05PM
The Diplomats' Juelz Santana has detailed Dipset's official roster and why their unity is comparable to the Mafia crime family.
Despite spawning associations with multiple artists, Juelz said Dipset solely consists of four rappers.
"Cam, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Freekey Zekey, that's the main four," Juelz said in an interview when explaining Dipset's roster. "That's the frontline. That's where it kinda begins, but you know, shout-out to J.R. Writer, Hell Rell, 40 Cal and we have Un Casa. Casa set off the first Diplomatic Immunity album, so, you know, at the end of the day, it was a movement. That whole situation. Now it's just like the mafia. The reason I say that is Diplomats, that's the mafia. And now you have all these branches of family -- that's where my Skull Gang comes in, that's where Jim Jones' Byrd Gang comes in to play. Zeke has the 730 [Dips] and that's what my artists are to be built into at the same time. Eventually they gonna have their own things that they want to go out into and they won't be able to be as much as Skull Gang because they helped build it -- but once again, it'll all be under the same umbrella, that's what makes it so much stronger." (Vlad TV)
Diplomats are reportedly set to ink an album deal with Interscope Records.
After an interview at The Source Magazine headquarters where Freekey Zekey insinuated that a Dipset deal with Interscope Records was possible by pointing to a magazine cover with Dr. Dre's picture (in addition to the revelation that the group has actually recorded with Dre), Freekey has confirmed that the group will be signing a deal with the label. "The papers are not actually signed right now [sic] but you could basically say it's going down," said Freekey in an interview with QTheQuestion.com, when prompted about the possibility of a deal with Interscope. (Hip Hop DX)
In-studio footage of Dipset with Dr. Dre recently hit the Internet.
"Right now, I'm being schooled by Dr. Dre, the greatest, what," Jones said in the footage while in a studio booth. "Incredible. Incredible. Incredible. The best in the world." (D.A.Y.O.N.E.)
In late August, rumors were circulating suggesting Dipset would sign with Interscope Records.
Weeks after both Cam'ron and Jim Jones tweeted about a potential label deal "almost being done," the Dipset reunion seems to be inches away from being official. A source close to the New York crew says Cam, Jimmy, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey are finalizing a label deal with Interscope Records -- the former home of Cam'ron rival 50 Cent's G-Unit crew. Go figure. No official confirmation yet, but, we're going to run with it. Wishful thinking! (Billboard)

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Students throughout the Midwest are getting out of school early this week because of sweltering temperatures and a lack of air conditioning in some classrooms.
Schools in Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas and Illinois planned to release children in the early afternoon, before temperatures reached expected highs - nearly 100 degrees in much of the central United States.
School administrators in several states said they were letting school out early because of safety concerns for students and teachers. Many schools have air conditioning systems that don't extend throughout the entire building.
The National Weather Service says a prolonged heat wave of this magnitude is unusual for this time of year, but not unprecedented.

STATE WIDE (WLBT)- Congressman Gene Taylor says it's time for the leadership in Afghanistan to make a new commitment to running a transparent and effective government. Otherwise, it may be time for the U.S. to make a new commitment to leave that country.
Taylor made those comments on Sunday, as he hosted his 19th Annual Academy Day at Southern Miss. The event showcases the nation's military academies to high school students.
"I personally think that Karzai is a crook. I know for a fact that his brother, step-brother, is the biggest dope dealer in Afghanistan. They need to straighten up their act and show that they are worthy of the sacrifices that America is making. And if they don't straighten up their act, then it's time for us to tell them, 'we're out of here'", said Congressman Gene Taylor.
Taylor says another south Mississippi soldier from Gautier is currently clinging to life at a military hospital in Washington.

9Halle Berry Wants Laws Against the Paparazzi
Halle Berry's been giving court testimony in front of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety in California in an effort to get a judge to put a law into place that prohibits paparazzi from getting all up in celebrities' faces, particularly when they have kids with them. Apparently her daughter Nahla was pretty scared of photographers and Halle thinks kids shouldn't have to live in fear, which I can dig.
Here's part of her testimony (via DS):
"My daughter doesn't want to go to school because she knows 'the men' are watching for her.
"They jump out of the bushes and from behind cars and who knows where else, besieging these children just to get a photo."
Berry also said that Nahla was left distressed when paparazzi became involved in an altercation with herself and Martinez.
"They were trying to start a fight with my fiancé because if they get a photo of that, it's more money," the X-Men star recalled.
"[Nahla] asked, 'Mommy, are they going to kill us?' She didn't get to sleep until 3am, because she can't get this out of her mind and she doesn't understand what just happened to her."
The committee approved the measure and it's being moved to the Assembly Judiciary Committee for further discussion. I see where Halle's coming from here – especially considering that she's currently pregnant – but it's difficult to regulate that industry when celebrities are VERY well compensated for their "lifestyle". Paparazzi are kind of part of the deal. That doesn't give a photographer the right to do anything dangerous and invasive, by any means, but I'd let people take unflattering photos of me for the millions of dollars I have at my disposal at all times.

9 Responses to "Halle Berry Wants Laws Against the Paparazzi"
i don't think she cares about unflattering photos. i think she cares about the safety of her child.
Yes, the usual cries of "my children are suffering". Please, spare me the whining from a rich twat who has no problem with stepping on anyone who gets in her way.
Of course, we need to provide special laws to cover the indignation from the Hollywood elite whose sole talent is to look good and be able to memorize lines in exchange for vapid entertainment. They are SOOOOO vital.
And where would this small child get it into her head that these people, who have always been a part of her life, were out to hurt or kill her? Obviously none of them have ever actually injured her so the only reason she would be scared of them would be if someone (her mother) put it in her head that they are capable of killing her.
Can't she figure out how to get Nahla to school out of paps view? Other stars do. I don't see many pics of the kid unless there's some drama created by her mother and those men she's been with going on.
She is still building her case so that she can move to France, I think.
It isn't that complicated. Pictures are just a supply and demand commodity. Stop and spend a few minutes and the demand goes away.
She was recently photographed wearing a see-through blouse with her brassiere and pregnant belly clearly showing while she was with Nahla. If that's not screaming for the paparazzi to take her photo then what is?
Riiiight and like the rest of the fame ho's of Hollyweird are going to want this!
I agree with this, I don't understand how it is legal to take pictures of another person's kid, sell them and then for a magazine to put them on the cover. But Halle is batshit crazy so it's hard to listen to her on anything. Also, notice how some really big stars like Nicole Kidman are never photographed except at red carpets and the airport but people like Halle seem to be photographed all the time…I think she's in on it like Kim Kardashian

Facebook to buy Instagram for $1 billion
Tuesday, 10 April 2012 10:11
Facebook will pay $1 billion in cash and stock for Instagram, a 2-year-old photo-sharing application developer, in its largest-ever acquisition just months before the No. 1 social media website is expected to go public.
The price was stunning for an apps-maker without any significant revenue, even with soaring startup valuations in Silicon Valley, as Facebook sought to absorb a potential rival or at least prevent it from falling into the hands of a major competitor like Twitter or Google.

Johnny Majors has been a proponent of Butch Jones since he first heard him speak shortly after being hired in December. A recent visit to Jones' practice only reinforced Majors' opinion of the first-year Tennessee head coach.
"People wouldn't understand what they're doing there unless they see it with their own eyes," said Majors, who played for Tennessee from 1954-56 and was head coach at UT from 1977-92. "It's absolutely fascinating and phenomenal. I don't think anybody had better tempo on the practice field than we did when I was coaching because I was coached by great people…Nobody does it better than Butch Jones and his staff. I've never seen a practice with more tempo, more excitement, more teaching and it's not just talking.
"They're teaching while they talk. I had a saying when I was coaching: 'Coach on the run. Talk on the move.' Don't stand around. They move as quick as anybody as I've ever seen and I'd say better than anybody maybe in the country."
Majors isn't alone. He's one of many former UT players that have commented on Jones' up-tempo practice.
"When the whistle blows, Coach Jones says 'Period's over' and they move like a bunch of ants going to build an anthill all at one time and the managers already have the drill set up…Those managers have to work their rear ends off," Majors said. "It's really a spectacle to see. I love how they do it and how they're going about it. They are getting things done the way they should be done."
Majors said publicly that he liked what he heard from Jones shortly after he was hired. That was even before he met the former Cincinnati coach, having said he thought Jones was "believable." Jones' recruiting has further enforced Majors' opinion of Jones. Meeting him has done the same.
"He's so intense, so sharp and he's sincere and straightforward," Majors said. "I've always gotten excited about football season starting all my life but this is special to see what he's doing here. His staff is right in step. It's almost like watching the Marines drill…They are like the Prussian Army and the American Marines. They get it done and get it done right."
Majors and Jones have something in common. Both have used volume to motivate players who aren't getting the job done. Majors was famous for chiding players with a bullhorn high atop a tower used to overlook practice. Jones uses a portable microphone piped into several loudspeakers to point out players not keeping up the pace.
"He talks consistently during practice," Majors said. "He has to be very sharp and smart. He's on top of as much as anybody I've ever seen, commenting on drills, who's loafing and who's not loafing."
Majors was also known to occasionally suffer from laryngitis, especially in preseason camp. Jones has also sported a raspy voice at times during the first full week of practice. Majors will gladly trade a raspy voice for an enthusiastic coach any day.
"I think it's a major factor for the head coach to display great enthusiasm and energy," he said. "I reacted when things were bad. I didn't have a very good attitude when things were bad. I got their attention and I wanted to get their attention.
"I had a reputation among some people that I was tough to work for. Yeah, I was tough to work for if they didn't get the job done. I wanted to get it done then and not tomorrow or the next five minutes. I wanted it done then."
By all indications, Butch Jones and his assistant coaches are a cohesive unit. Majors said they seem like "peas in a pod" on the practice field. That, unlike UT's last staff, has helped players believe in Jones' new system.
"Sure you can tell in practice by the way they move around and the tempo [that they believe in their coaches]," Majors said. "There's just no place to loaf out there. There are too many eyes on you…Yeah, they believe. Right now, I guarantee they're a 100-percent more confident than last year.
"We don't know how they'll do and how many games they'll win. But I guarantee you this, there will be a difference in knowledgable football people…They're not going to count themselves out. The coaches aren't. You're optimistic people if you're a winner."
Butch Jones can fix some things immediately. He can improve practice tempo and recruiting. However, he can't immediately raise the talent level throughout UT's roster
"It's been going downhill a long time," Majors said. "It wasn't just the last four years. It takes some rebuilding. I know what it takes to build a program. It takes work, patience and recruiting. Talent-wise, I think they are limited in talent in certain places but I know they've already moved some freshmen up the depth chart in practice.
"They're not as talented as some of the people they're playing against, against several people they're going to be playing against in my opinion. It's just not there, but they'll be better conditioned. They'll know how to pursue with better angles. And if they're knocked down, they'll get up and chase the ball. They won't lie around on the ground.
"They'll have better ideas about how to get to the football and what to do when they get there. How to tuck the ball away. For years here, we haven't been able to catch punts…We've let more balls bounce and give the opponent yardage for years around here. It's just the little things that win for you and close that gap. The main thing is doing the little things and they're being taught that now."
Majors knows there will still be tough Saturdays ahead for Jones and his staff. That, however, can be chances to continue to build the program.
"Good coaches are going to come back ready to go the next week to get better," he said. "This team, you can recognize how well they line up, how well they come off the ball and how well they hustle. They'll have better pursuit angles, I guarantee you on that. They might not win more games but I'm not counting them out.
"Mark this down. John Majors is telling you that Coach Jones and his staff will get it done."

TILTON — The village will soon be home to a Discount Tobacco WareHouse store later this year.
Tom Ware, president of the 15-store chain, made a presentation to the village board on Thursday night. Ware said his company plans to lease the 4,000 square-foot former Bob Campbell TV and Appliance building at the corner of Georgetown Road and Ross Lane.
According to Ware, the business will sell every type of tobacco product available. Ware also plans on opening a gaming room with five gaming machines. In order to obtain a state permit for the gaming machines, Ware said he will have to obtain a liquor license.
"We are not going to be operating a bar," Ware explained to the board. "We will have bottled beer and wine available to our customers that are playing the gaming machines."
Ware said the store will not be selling packaged beer or wine.
"We have found out that there are some gaming customers who do not like the 'bar atmosphere,' and prefer a quiet and clean place to play the machines," Ware said. "We are aiming our business at those people."
Ware said while his stores do sell tobacco, there is no smoking in any of them. He plans to install a drive-up window on the east side of the building for the tobacco customers.
The hours of operation will follow those allowed by the liquor license. Ware anticipates the store will employ seven or eight employees.
According to Ware, his stores normally have sales around $1 million annually. The chain is headquartered in Jacksonville.
Board members gave their tentative approval to Ware's plan.
In other board action, trustees:
+ Approved economic incentive payment to Vermilion Chevrolet of $12,000.
+ Learned from Mayor David Phillips that the village spent $30,000 in snowstorm related costs.
+ Approved the annexation of the Vermilion Vocational Education Delivery System (VOTEC) property for the purpose of connecting to the village sewer system.
+ Approved the annexation of 17 properties on 12th, 13th, Gleason and Hodge Streets to the village.

(CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article gave an incorrect location for the current lift station. The existing lift station is across the street from Cottageville Park on the northwest corner of Blake Road and Lake Street.)
neighbors are still speaking out against the city's decision to allow a lift station in the park even as the Metropolitan Council proceeds with its planning process.
The Met Council hosted a meeting Wednesday that was intended to offer residents a chance to learn about the project and discuss the design. But several residents still wanted to address the city's decision to locate the new lift station there in the first place.
Echoing concerns voiced at a March 23 City Council meeting, residents charged that the city had not done enough to get public input on the decision to locate the new lift station, or wastewater pumping station, in Oakes Park.
"You invite us in for our input, and there's nothing to input," said one resident who lives nearby.
"The location decision has been made, and our charge tonight is to understand your concerns about this park," said Charleen Zimmer, who facilitated Wednesday's meeting for the Met Council.
The Met Council presented initial site plans for the new during the community meeting—fielding questions from residents concerned about potential odors, traffic and the loss of green space as a result of the estimated $10 million project.
The proposed construction, , will see a roughly 2,000 square foot lift station built in the northwest corner of Oakes Park, which would force the removal of a hockey rink at that location.
All of Hopkins' wastewater is currently processed by a lift station across the street from that was built in 1971. Following completion of the new facility, the old building will be razed and the land converted to park space.
Adam Gordon, a Met Council engineer involved in the project, estimated that construction of the Oakes Park lift station will start in the summer of 2013. The new lift station is expected to be able to serve Hopkins for the next 60 to 80 years.
In addition to numerous concerns about potential odors from the lift station, residents also worried about potential property tax increases and noise pollution.
Gordon explained that new lift stations are built with odor control systems that eliminate perceptible odors. There is no risk of Hopkins' property taxes being raised as a result of the project, as the Met Council is not empowered by the state Legislature to levy tax increases.
Construction of the lift station building is expected to run a full construction season and will entail the same types of noise and traffic disruptions that accompany any major construction project. The majority of construction entails building the facility's underground substructure, which is about 30 feet deep.
"I won't be two-faced about the impacts of construction," Gordon said. "It's a big hole."
However, several residents were still not convinced that Oakes Park is the best location, arguing that other sites that would not take up park space in Hopkins had been overlooked or ignored.
City Engineer John Bradford countered that, of the sites considered by the city and Met Council, none were as viable as the one in Oakes Park.
"It becomes a balance between cost and impact and finding something that would work," he said. "Finding an open space is really challenging in this area."
The Hopkins City Council approved the lift station agreement with the Met Council at its March 23 meeting.
While some uncertainty about the lift station's final location within Oakes Park remains—alternate suggestions have included the park's northeast corner, where there are currently tennis courts, as well as the park space where a cricket field is located—the Met Council expects the facility to eventually be built in the park's northwest corner.
The time and location of the next meeting about the lift station project are not yet available. The Met Council plans to unveil sketches of several proposed plans at that meeting, which is expected to take place in late June or early July.

Criminal Justice
HIV Death Sentences Affirmed
Posted Jul 11, 2007 11:12 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The Libyan Supreme Court has rejected the results of an investigation that found unsanitary hospital medical conditions are to blame for the infection of more than 400 children with the AIDS virus.
The court affirmed death sentences for five nurses and a physician convicted of charges they intentionally infected the children, the New York Times reports.
The case has provoked international condemnation. The United States is among those who have asked the Libyan government to free the convicted professionals.
The group could still see their sentences reduced or overturned when the Supreme Judicial Council meets on Monday.

Projected starting five.
PG Quinn Cook
Jr., 6-2, 180
11.7 points per game, 5.3 assists
Mike Krzyzewski emphasized several times during the preseason that Cook's role will be different this year. With Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood instructed to take the ball up the floor and start the fast break if they grab rebounds, the need for a traditional point guard is minimized.
"He's been good about trying to adjust his role as the so-called classic point guard on the team or whatever," Krzyzewski said.
There are three things Cook has improved on from last season, though: his conditioning ("he's in the best shape of his life," Krzyzewski said), his ball-pressure defense and his shooting.
SG Rasheed Sulaimon
Soph., 6-4, 190
11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds
Sulaimon has length and athleticism that should translate to a nice career at the next level. But for this year, he has to learn how to play off and complement Hood and Parker, whom Krzyzewski has appointed the centerpieces of the offense.
"One of the main keys to this team is sacrifice," Sulaimon said. "If coach says those two guys are the main guys, then, for me, I just have to do whatever it takes with my talents to help the team win. It's not necessarily taking a back seat to those guys, it's just using my talents with those guys."
Easier said than done. Andre Dawkins and Matt Jones will challenge for this starting spot, too.
SF Rodney Hood
R-Soph., 6-8, 215
2011-12 at Mississippi State: 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds
Last July, N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried took time out of his summer press conference to sing the praises of Hood, whom he was familiar with from his time as the coach at Alabama. Gottfried said Parker and Hood could go Nos. 2 and 3 in the 2014 NBA draft.
"There's a lot of attention around Jabari Parker," Gottfried said. "Wait until you see Rodney Hood. He's that good."
Krzyzewski thinks so, too, and the year he sat out only helped his development. He's a long, high-flying athletic wing who can score inside and outside and guard positions 1-4, and, after watching last year's seniors, has better learned how to work to maximize his talents.
"I remember times when Mason would shoot free throws at 7 in the morning, and his percentage went up," Hood said. "That's something I'm taking into my game, trying to improve every single week."
PF Jabari Parker
Fr., 6-8, 235
To hear Parker tell it, he'll have to grow into his role as the featured scorer. He would be just fine if he wasn't.
"I love playing basketball," he said. "I love playing the whole game. Getting rebounds, assists, setting screens."
Rebounding has been a point of emphasis in the preseason, as opportunities on glass will lead to more points, either through a tip-in or a fast break, depending on what end of the floor. Krzyzewski has emphasized that his young potential superstar is an unfinished product, one that will continue to get better as the season goes along.
But he's pretty good now.
"He's everything he's been hyped up to be," Hood said. "He's big, physical, very skilled, can play multiple positions, can handle the ball, shoot the ball. Way more athletic than I thought he was."
PF Amile Jefferson
Soph., 6-9, 210
4.0 points, 2.9 rebounds
The name of the game is complementing Parker and Hood, and Krzyzewski thinks Jefferson might do that better than anyone else on the roster.
"He's just gotten better at everything. He's stronger," Krzyzewski said. "He's got an unbelievable personality to play the game. Exceptional personality to play the game. He's such an easy guy to play with, not bothered on the court, he's such a good teammate, and he's got a 7-2 wingspan. So pressuring the ball, press, how you use him in those situations, because he's not conventional."

Off-days are usually slow news days, but yesterday was definitely filled with excitement. Wil Myers made his way up to Boston to join the rest of the Rays before their series at Fenway Park.
The pitching matches for today's doubleheader are as follows: 1:05 PM game will have Chris Archer against Alfredo Aceves. Aceves threw six innings of one-run ball allowing only four hits the last time he faced us less than a week ago. In that same game, Archer threw 103 pitches over four innings, giving up two runs and taking the loss. In the 7:10 PM game, Jake Odorizzi will rejoin the Rays once again and take on Felix Doubront. In Odorizzi's last start, he went only 3.1 innings while giving up two earned runs on four hits and two walks. He is still searching for his first win with the Rays this season.
Danny took a good look at the Rays rotation shuffle yesterday, which you can read about here.
If you Wil…
So what should we expect from Wil Myers major league debut? Ian took a look at how top prospects have performed against their projections in quite the enjoyable post yesterday. I'm going to guess he goes 1-4 with a K in the first game and then 2-3 with a homerun and walk in the night game. How about you?
If 1:05 PM is too far away and you want Wil now, we've got you covered. Danny compiled some highlights of what Myers has done so far this season in Durham. The moonshot featured in video number four (also linked below) could easily clear the Green Monster, as it sailed well over the Blue Monster in Durham.
Speaking of the Green Monster, in his conference call with the media last night, Myers talked about his previous experience at Fenway and how he has indeed launched some homeruns over the wall. Audio courtesy of Steve Carney, 620 WDAE.
Bill Chastain of MLB.com wrote about how Wil Myers' big-league dreams are finally coming true. He stated that even Myers thinks that starting off lower in the lineup will help ease him into the majors and take away any added pressure. Chastain also answered fan questions about the arrival of Wil Myers in this article.
-Joe Maddon officially opened the Hazelton One Community Center in his hometown of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, yesterday.

-Sneakerheads, this one's for you. I present to you the Air Jordan 12 PE Cleats. Did you also know that Jeremy Guthrie plays on the Rays?
-Adam Jones told Jim Rome yesterday that he thinks Ed Reed, Houston Texans DB, could play centerfield. That would be interesting to witness.
-Jeff Sullivan of Fan Graphs takes a look at the top ten overachievers and underachievers throughout MLB this season. Two former Rays show up as underachievers. Bet you'll never guess who!
-Bill Petti of Fan Graphs observed hitter volatility and found that Evan Longoria has been the most consistent hitter in MLB through June 16th.
-Here's one more Wil Myers homerun for you to watch, just to get you even more amped for his debut today!

State Assemblyman Robert Schroeder owes millions of dollars and may be facing sanctions from the federal government, according to reports on NorthJersey.com and NJ.com.
Schroeder was last week. At the time, Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said the state would continue their investigation and asked others who had bad financial dealings with Schroeder to come forward.
Since then, more details about Schroeder's dealings have been uncovered. The District 39 assemblyman, who owns a house valued at more than $1.1 million and contributed more than $400,000 to state, county and local politicians between 2001 and 2011, has been the target of more than a dozen lawsuits since last year, court records show.
In one case, Schroeder allegedly never paid back $1.7 million to a pair of investors, according to a report on NJ.com. In another, a group of investors said they never received $1.5 million which Schroeder had apparently paid to one of the group's principals, rather than the group itself, according to the report.
Schroeder said his Hillsdale-based companies, All Points International Distributors and Hercules Global Logistics, LLC had been having "tough times" during the Obama administration, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.
API and Hercules "primarily" work for the military, according to . Since 2010, records show that API protested the loss of two government bids when they provided the lowest price. In the first, officials at the General Services Administration picked a more expensive bid because they were not happy with the features offered by API's products. In another case, GSA officials picked another bid over API's because they were unhappy with the company's past performance.

Awkward Alert! Katie Holmes and Suri Run Into People Dressed As Them For Halloween
One Was Even Wearing A "Free Katie" T-Shirt!
Don't you just hate it when you're trying to catch a quiet, pre-Halloween bite at your local five star Asian restaurant and you turn around only to find there's a group of Trick-or-Treaters dressed up as you and your six year-old daughter?
That's what recently happened to Katie Holmes in NYC, according to a new Radar story. The former Mrs. Tom Cruise was dining with her mini-me, Suri, at Mr. Chow in Tribeca the other night when a group of revelers walked in. One of the women, reportedly dressed as Holmes, donned a "Free Katie" T-shirt while another sported a Suri getup. And yes, they had a Tom Cruise with them.

After spotting them, Katie quietly gathered her daughter and ducked out while the group was left understandably red-faced.
"When they sat down, they exchanged an awkward glance with Katie, but she kept her cool and didn't say anything," a source told Radar. "The embarrassed Halloween crew quickly covered up the costumes before Suri got a chance to look."
Considering she had Suri with her, we don't blame Katie for hustling out of there. That said, man, we wish she'd taken a picture with them!
