The Forgotten Photos
Eating well at Marche's & Silly Goose. Nashville. November.
Back in September, my friends and I headed to the mountains of Tennessee for our annual trip to Sarah's family farm. The weekend always includes great food, skeet shooting, boot wearing, lounging by the river, and a little tossing of the pigskin.
The photos I took that weekend found themselves in the hands of the folks over at Volunteer Traditions, a company out of Nashville that makes beautiful state-pride apparel like LEL's hat in that top shot. They liked my pictures and loved the fact that were real-life shots and wanted to use them in their new campaign. They also loved LEL, and interviewed her for their new Heritage Line.
"I think that's the definition of Southern pride: Knowing your heritage and where you are from, but also being open to meeting new folks where you are going…"
Proud of you, LEL. You're a beauty.
PS. VolTrad: if you have the urge to send me a Georgia hat, go with your gut.

InSinkErator Gives Professionals Features that Make New PRO Series the Industry's Most Powerful Disposer LineSubscribe to RSS feed
"The new PRO Series line is all-around superior and gives professional contractors great selling features," said David MacNair, vice president of marketing for InSinkErator. "Plus, what's sure to become a popular model is a brand new disposer that has the advanced grinding capabilities of an Evolution Excel in a small size."
InSinkErator – a business unit of St. Louis-based Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR) and the largest manufacturer of food waste disposers and instant hot water dispensers – first introduced Evolution PRO Series™ in 2006. Today's new line is visually distinct from those models with new black casings and trim. The line includes five models, all of which feature Auto-Reverse Grind System™ with horsepower ranging from ¾ to 1.1 hp. Longer warranties are included, from six to 12 years. Consistent with the original line of Evolution PRO Series, all models still feature advanced MultiGrind® and SoundSeal® technologies, allowing users to grind nearly any food waste and hear almost nothing – from chicken and rib bones to fibrous food like celery.
The PRO Series line is the official disposer of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association of America, and PRO Series models will be available nationwide exclusively to professional contractors in July 2013. The following is a description of the models that make up the series:
- PRO 1000LP™ – This model provides the advanced grinding capabilities of a PRO Excel™ in a low profile design, and features one horsepower, a 10-year limited warranty and MultiGrind® technology featuring three grind stages, to easily handle virtually any food waste.
- PRO 1100XL™ – Offering the ultimate in performance to homeowners who want the best, this model features 1.1 horsepower, a 12-year limited warranty and the same MultiGrind technology as the low-profile model.
- PRO 880™ – Featuring 7/8 horsepower, an eight-year limited warranty and two grind stages, this disposer is the ideal choice for a wide range of kitchens.
- PRO 750™ – This space-saving model is a perfect fit for restricted cabinet space and features ¾ horsepower, a six-year limited warranty and two grind stages.
- PRO Cover Control™ Plus – Providing added assurance in the kitchen, this model is activated by the magnetic CoverStart™ and runs only when the cover is on. The disposer offers 7/8 horsepower, a nine-year limited warranty and two grind stages through MultiGrind technology.
New PRO Series disposers now offer either the option of an InSinkErator We Come To You™ in-home limited warranty, or the contractor may return a defective model to the wholesaler for an exchange at any time during the full warranty period.
Beginning July 1, contractors can learn about the new models at www.insinkerator.com/

TEHRAN – Mahmoud Khosravivafa has been reelected president of Iran's National Paralympic Committee after running unopposed on Wednesday.

This will be his fourth term as NPC president, and he will serve until 2018.
"I thank you for your trust and confidence from the bottom of my heart. From now on, we will concentrate on giving a good performance at the 2014 Incheon Asian Para Games in South Korea," Khosravivafa said.
Amir Mandegarfard was elected secretary general of the NPC.
Hamidali Samimi and Fatemeh Rakhshani were elected as Khosravivafa's deputies.
Khosravivafa was also reelected as president of the Iran Sports Federation for the Disabled. This will be his seventh consecutive term in the post.

Kingsmead Blockbuster saved from closure for the second time
3:20pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in News By Emma Rigby, Senior Reporter
THE KINGSMEAD branch of Blockbuster has been saved for a second time after administrators announced it was not on the list of 164 stores set to close.
Eleven members of staff at the Kingsmead Square store were left uncertain over the future of their jobs last month when advisory firm Deloitte was appointed administrator to the troubled firm.
Administrators announced at the end of January that 129 stores were due to close, but confirmed that the Kingsmead branch was not one of them.
Yesterday, Wednesday, it was announced that an additional 164 stores would be closing, but the Kingsmead store was saved once again, with a spokesperson for the administrator stating the store was not on its list of closures.
The store, along with the remaining 234 stores, will continue to trade as usual while administrators continue negotiations with bidders.
Lee Manning, joint administrator, said: "We have continued to review the performance of individual stores since our appointment a month ago and have concluded that further closures are necessary in order to restructure the company for sale.
"We would like to thank the company's employees for their support and professionalism during this difficult time and we are also grateful for the continued support of customers.
"We are in discussions with a number of parties interested in purchasing all or parts of the business and will update on progress in due course."
Until its demise, Blockbuster employed 4,190 people in its 538 shops and Uxbridge headquarters.
It is the third high street retailer to fall into administration this year, following music group HMV and camera specialist Jessops.
Competition from online rivals such as Netflix and LoveFilm has been blamed for the company's failure.
Concerned employees should contact the employee helpline on 0845 302 2547.
There is also a customer query line on 0207 303 0862.

Hi Jesse
Just want to say how happy I was with the crew that did my move on Saturday January 26th. Omar, Sebastian and Carlos were just amazing. I have moved a lot in the past and have always used professional movers but none have been more accomidating and willing to go the extra mile.
They were always smiling, laughing and calm, as we all know, moving can be very stressful and there are always some kind of glitches to be dealt with.
I will definitely be recommending your company to all my friends and family.
Many thanks
Diane Markey

I'm so loving Choi Young Do! =) Yes, he's a jerk and all that but I love the way he's pissing Kim Tan off and at the same time be a super anti-romantic admirer of Eun Sang. I love how Woo Bin acts this character. He's really effective, especially that part when he said he just hit the jackpot. The way he looks so mischievously, that's so daebak. Woo Bin should win an award for this. =)
i really like kim tan. i seriously do. but it really frustrates me to see him always looking for eun sang, always appearing to places she's into, and seems like his world revolves only for her and he'd die when he doesn't see her. what's even more frustrating is the fact that from episode 1 'til now, there is no effort seen from him yet to let his feelings known to his family, or to his mum, at least. he already heard his mum telling eun sang some master-slave-like rules and yet, no action for him still to make eun sang feel better about it. they even hid a couple of times just to avoid them being caught talking inside the house. i mean, can he blame eun sang for trying so hard to avoid him...?
HIHIPUFFYExactly. Dramas are nothing like what you expect in real life. All they do is mope around, they don't joke or laugh, they're all so serious and just so happen, everyone's world revolves around ONE GIRL! UNREALISTIC

The supermarket giant says it's taking action to show its customers that they can trust the quality of its food.
"We want to leave customers in no doubt that we will do whatever it takes to ensure the quality of their food and that the food they buy is exactly what the label says it is", Tesco's Technical Director Tim Smith said.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I found Kevin after I got a probation violation from a DUI. He was great he explained what was going on in a way that I could understand. The out come was good. He was a very busy guy but he was always where he needed to be when the time came. I would recommended him to anyone who needed a lawyer for DUI'S I wished I would have found him when I got my DUI.
Kevin handled my case with true integrity and commitment. He patiently answered questions I had as well as provided advice that helped optimize my decisions. While it was up to me to be actively involved in my case, I felt like I was not alone and could rely on Kevin and his office team to be there throughout an emotionally trying time. I highly recommend him for DUI defense.
Kevin is superb. I was involved in an unfortunate domestic violence issue. Having never been in trouble with the law before, this was a new and harrowing experience for me. I called the law offices of Kevin Trombold. He was a great listener, and explained everything that could happen in a logical and clear way. He was also more than willing to put up with several questions I had over the course of the case. He also had an excellent presence in the court where he is clearly very well respected. I also worked with his associate Blair who was fantastic. Long story short, I got a great outcome at an unexpected speed, am back and happier than ever with my family. I would recommend him instantaneously to anyone who needed relevant help.
Kevin really saved me from a fate worse than death, and without the need for a drawn-out trial. I hope to G*d I don't ever need a DUI attorney again, but if I do I'm calling Kevin.
I had a great experience with Kevin as my lawyer regarding my DUI case. He kept me informed and also made sure I stayed out of jail and kept my drivers license.
I interviewed several of the top DUI attorneys in Seattle before deciding to hire Kevin. Kevin's devotion and passion for his work made me confident in his ability to foster the best possible outcome for my case.
Kevin made the process of dealing with my DUI charges as easy as I could have hoped for. Every step of the way, he provided me with guidance, detailed actions items and insightful reviews of the status of my case. Furthermore, Kevin and his team were always extremely prompt to reply to any questions I had.
Given my circumstances, the outcome of my case was certainly the "best case scenario." I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.
Kevin has successfully represented me in a DUI case getting it completely dismissed. He has since represented me in similar cases with the same results.. A word of advise, put his name and number in your purse or wallet and call him first.
I've never had a DUI or any other type of problem with the law so I was completely terrified. I was too mortified to ask for a referral from anyone I knew so went looking for an attorney online and called the one with the best reviews. After my first meeting with Kevin I knew I was in great hands. He completely lived up to his reviews and then some. I've worked with many attorneys over the years in various business capacities and Kevin's subject matter knowledge and work ethic are top notch.
I was in a complete panic when we met and he listened to my story, handed me tissues, spent a lot time explaining the process all the steps in the process to me. He and Kelly kept me informed as he developed my case, told me what to expect and when, told me exactly what to do / say, how to do it and when, and, lastly, got me a the best outcome I could have hoped for (Negligent Driving). What also gave me a lot of comfort was how clearly and widely respected he was in the courthouse. He's a brilliant attorney and between Kevin and his amazing assistant Kelly I always felt like they had everything under control, which they did. It was an expensive and humiliating experience for me but Kevin took a lot of the sting out it. Don't intend to get any more DUI's but would hire him again without question.
Terrible experience. Obviously Kevin was too busy with other cases to attend to mine. Communication was the worst. Outcome of case was very disappointing. I invested a lot of money in Kevin, and could have done just as well with a public defender.
Lawyer Comment:
I am so sad to read your review because if you are who I think you are we, did struggle hard to obtain a good result under a very difficult set of facts, which will not be discussed here and remain protected under attorney client confidentiality. Sometimes the facts of the case don't get any better for us even though we invest twice as many hours searching for a way out of the criminal courts.
Communication is the most important thing we do so I'm horrified to learn that you feel we didn't communicate well with you. I apologize for this and would love to discuss it further if you wish to. We have an office policy to respond to any phone call or email the same day. I'm truly sorry if we didn't keep you informed.
Much of our work behind the scenes focuses on digging up material on the police officers involved or on the calibration of the breath test instrument, which is hard for clients to see and learn about. When we find something good the positive result in court is obvious for all to see. If we don't find something helpful nobody knows what work we have done unless we take the time to explain our work to you. I'm sorry that didn't happen in your case.
We have found that many clients don't want to hear about everything we do unless its going to result in a better outcome. Unfortunately (if you are who I think you are) in your case we didn't find anything and the prosecutors office wasn't helpful in obtaining a better result.
We are always happy to discuss refunds and are sorry that you regret investing in your case. We aim to assure the best outcome for every single client and never have too many to not perform our job under optimal conditions. We never promise a certain outcome because we have no control over the police, the prosecution, nor the judge. Please call us and we will discuss a refund because we want you to be happy with our efforts.

My husband was pulled over for a DUI when I was 4 months pregnant. Our first child was due in 5 months and we had no idea what all of this meant for us. My friend, a public defender in Seattle, highly recommended Kevin, saying that he was well-respected by both prosecutors and defense attorneys and knows the DUI world very well.
A complicating factor was that my husband is a green card holder and English is his second language.
So, not only was Kevin dealing with a highly hormonal pregnant woman, but he had to work with someone who was both unfamiliar with the US legal system and had only a 80% grasp of the language. Kevin made sure to consult with an immigration attorney regarding any pleas/charges so that my husband's future application for citizenship wouldn't be jeopardized.
Three days before my due date, my husband stood up in front of the judge and pleaded to a lesser charge, negligent driving to the 1st degree. It was a scary rollercoaster, but Kevin and his paralegal, Sharon, were amazing and kept us informed and worked incredibly hard on my husband's case. We both felt very respected during the entire process.

This weekend over at Deadspin, which I read more or less exclusively to steal Drew Magary's jokes and subsequently pass them off as my own on this site, they ran an open thread in the wake of that ESPN franchise ranking thing, debating whether or not the Maloofs are the worst owners in sports. I think it speaks to the sheer level of ineptitude of the Maloofs that there is even any kind of conversation about this. I understand pro sports, I understand that after the coach the owner tends to have the most contentious and mercurial relationship with the fans (unless you're in Sacramento, where your coaches are drunk driving, teeth whitening, 19-year old slandering incompetents, and most fans still just feel sorry for them because of who they have to work for). I understand that people, entitled assholes, but still people, will find reasons to complain about Jerry Buss. I understand Sacramento is the Jermaine Jackson of California. But with all we've had to deal with these last 5 plus years as Kings fans can you not at least allow us the small schadenfreudic victory of world's worst ownership?
Yeah I get it. The Irsays and Modells moved your teams in the dark of night. At least they had the courtesy to do it while you were sleeping. The Maloofs have spent the last two years attempting to move the team in broad daylight while simultaneously pretending to do no such thing. It's like they've broken into the underwear drawer of some prospective paramour and as she catches them leafing through her panties the Maloofs turn, whistle, say something along the lines of "Oh, hey, uh, um, yeah, huh, hah, I was, gah, gak, cough, sweat, more sweat, a little more sweat, oh, um, yeah, looogoverthere" and proceed to runoff…with your panty drawer... Admittedly it's an awkward analogy, but I feel it's a not entirely inappropriate one as I'm certain this has happened to the Maloofs on more than one first date.
Is there any other city in America that has a more visceral hatred of their ownership than Sacramento? And is there any place where it's more justified? It's not just that the Maloofs don't want to be in Sacramento. It's that they'd like to be literally any place else. Seriously. Any place else. Our city is basically the No Homers Club. Look at the list of rumored relocation locations; Anaheim; Las Vegas; Virginia Beach; Branson; Laughlin; Fresno (don't laugh, let's use Virginia Beach voucher logic, "hey, it's a desirable location for players, it's 3 hours closer to Los Angeles, and there's a Dave and Busters downtown"). I'm shocked they haven't suggested just building an arena on a Riverboat Casino and moving it up and down the Mississippi whenever law enforcement is hot on their trail, like a sort of sweaty, stinky, Joe Francis-ey "Love Boat." But with bad basketball.
What owner, objectively, could you argue is worse? I get Dan Synder is a controlling prick that hangs out with Tom Cruise and likes to make splashy personnel moves that have no basis in reality. But he never tried to hire Kyle Chandler as his head coach. And Hell at least Kyle Chandler was a good fictional high school sports coach. Donald Sterling is a racist, classist pig? That sucks, and is nothing to make light of, but he did trade for Chris Paul. Jerry Jones? Indeed, he pays someone in his luxury box to wipe his glasses for him. But the Maloofs have Grant Napear on the payroll pretty much exclusively to clean Maloof Oakleys (those really cool camo ones that go perfectly with their black muscle shirts that are two sizes too small). Mike Brown? Yeah he's a callous rich old white guy who keeps fucking things up with only his best interests in mind. But this is America. We're used to callous rich old white guys fucking things up with only their best interests in mind. We're being jerked around (and I think by merely writing that in relation to the Maloofs I put myself at risk of an STD) by the Butabi brothers. By owners that make all of their sartorial decisions after visiting "Hot Chicks with Doucehbags." By owners that not only think Karl Welzein is real, but have reached out to him about producing his "Road House" sequel with Guy Fieri. These are guys who, when they learned ESPN selected the Kings as having the worst uniforms in sports, suggested a remedy, putting those long-sleeved Ed Hardy-tattooed-arms-shirts under players' jerseys. Oh and gold chains. Always gold chains.
The Maloofs can't even play the role of villain properly. They aren't aggressive or indifferent or bullying or Machiavellian. They aren't schemers from Oklahoma who buy a Seattle team pretending they intend to keep it in Seattle while all the while they, and everyone else, knows the inevitable outcome of their purchase. These are people who have literally no concept of what they're doing. None. And they've decided to spend the remainder of their "fortune", at least the remainder they have access to, paying people to tell them that not having a plan is the perfect plan. I mean Jesus Christ the team store is inaccessible because no one moved it from Geocities. And I still have gold chains to purchase for the '12-13 season.
And the big kick in the balls is that our franchise is owned by morons whose intellect and taste is almost in direct inverse to that of its fanbase. Anyone who visits Sactown Royalty (the Deadspin article referred to us as venerable, that's pretty high praise), anyone who has talked to Ziller, anyone who witnessed the Here We Stay movement, knows how bright, capable, articulate, driven, forward thinking Sacramento fans can be. Meanwhile the Maloofs are watching "Honey Boo Boo Child" marathons. Much of the public seems to think it's okay for ownership to want to leave Sacramento, because they believe every bad stereotype about Sacramento. A situation that is only exacerbated by ownership that aggressively reinforces every bad stereotype about Sacramento.
So sorry Bobcats, Marlins, Knicks, Clippers, Islanders, Trailblazers. We have the worst owners in all of sports. And you can have them.

The NSW Institute of Teachers' Professional Teaching Standards (published February 2005) provide a common reference point to articulate, celebrate and support the complex and varied nature of teachers' work. They describe what teachers need to know, understand and be able to do as well as providing direction and structure to enhance the preparation, support and development of teachers.
Professional Teaching Standards - 444 KB
The standards were developed by the Institute in partnership with teachers from around NSW. They were validated in a study conducted by the

Occupy protestors are marching around the world and right here in Southwest Florida. They say they're protesting big business and say they've had enough of capitalism. There were two Occupy protests in Southwest Florida Saturday. One was in Naples and the other in Fort Myers, where nearly 500 people gathered in Centennial Park.
Protestors we spoke to say their message is clear
"Because we are sick of corporate greed," said Kelly Garcia.
Governor Rick Scott said the national movement lacks focus, and protesters were not happy to hear that.
"I do not understand what they're looking for, but I think it's good that the people are showing up and expressing their views. That's the great part about America, you can do it," Governor Scott said.
"The reason Governor Scott doesn't get it? He's out of touch," said protestor Pete Crumbpacker.
"He does not understand because he can't. The rich have a totally different mindset. It does not make them evil people. They just literally don't understand they can't relate," said Gary Land.
But relate to what? We found the Occupy movement centered on an anti-corporate, anti-corrupt platform.
"The influence of special interest money in our elections," said Land.
Some protesters say money shouldn't buy everything.
"Until we have real responsible government - responsible to the people not the folks who give them money to get them elected," Land said.
And he says they can't afford to not be heard anymore.
Protesters finished where they started here in Centennial Park. There were no incidents with police and organizers say they're planning another march for next Saturday.
In Naples, about 200 people marched from City Hall to 5th Avenue waving signs and chanting about their frustrations.Lori Harrod came from Ohio to march alongside her grandmother. In all, four generations of her family marched. "We are the 99 percent, we can't make ends meet or afford our homes," Harrod said.Employed, Harrod said she still cannot make enough to live comfortably. The unemployed members of the movement also shared frustrations with tax breaks for the wealthiest few and corporate influence on politicians. Drew Scott, an emerging leader in the movement, said he still thinks the movement is a non-partisan affair and should remain that way."As soon as you involve a political party you close the book on the movement," he said.This, after recent comparisons between the Tea Party and the Occupy Movement.Bill Van Arsdale of Bonita Springs was also in support of the movement. He said he found common ties with some Tea Party supporters there to oppose the Occupy Movement."I just had a conversation with a guy from the Tea Party. At first, he yelled at me but by the end of our talk he said we actually have a lot in common," Van Arsdale said.He also said he plans to meet with Tea Party members to discuss some of the common themes in the movements.But Scott maintains the movement should remain grassroots to avoid corruption and a takeover by political parties.The movement plans to meet again on Nov. 5 as part of a worldwide day of the occupation.The hope, Scott said, is to find a more central method of turning protestors' frustrations into actions by those in power.

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a two-year contract with outfielder Ryan Sweeney that includes a club option for 2016.
The team announced the agreement Thursday.
Sweeney is due $1.5 million in 2014 and 2015, with the Cubs holding a $2.5 million option for 2016 with a $500,000 buyout.
Sweeney batted .266 with six homers and 19 RBIs in 70 games this season. He spent time on the 60-day disabled list because of a broken rib after he crashed into a wall in late June.

Unless you play a base 3-4 DO NOT only rush 3 players on 3rd and long.
I was watching the Clemson/GTech game tonight and was dumbfounded that GTech rushed only 3 on 3rd and long. I understand the thought behind it: more people in a zone means the zones are smaller. However, there are always holes in a zone and the more time WRs and QBs have to find that hole the more likely it is. Andrews called this garbage a bunch last year and it wasn't very successful (UM's conversion of 3rd and 16 came on a 3 man rush as did a long Clemson conversion tonight).
The problem is that you are basically allowing the offense to double team more than half of your rush. The person that is not double teamed is most likely your worst pass rusher. To be clear rushing three if you drop a lineman into coverage and rush a LB or DB isn't the worse thing in the world. It's even worse when the offense leaves a back or TE into block as now everybody is double teamed. The last Clemson play of tonight's game left the RB in to block. GTech rushed 4 meaning 1 lineman was single blocked. That lineman got far enough up field to spook a freshmen QB who then rolled to his right making the secondary's job easier. Of course Parker (the QB) threw across his body well short of his target and the game was over.
So, please DC's stick with what got you there. Oh, and I liked Mickey's nickel package of just completely swearing off lineman. Not only do you get a blitz but how is a QB to legitimately know where it is coming from.

Through the first 40 games of the season, the Utah Jazz played at a crazy pace that had them playing a game, on average, every other day.
A four-day layoff was virtually unheard of.
But for game No. 41, which features the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at EnergySolutions Arena, that's how long the Jazz have had to rest … and practice.
"I think it was good for us to kinda get that rest," swingman Gordon Hayward said following Saturday's shootaround. "We've been going kinda nonstop. We got a couple days of practice in as well. We'll be ready to go."
After beating the Miami Heat on Monday, coach Tyrone Corbin gave his players Tuesday and Wednesday to unwind from a whirlwind first half of the season. But the Jazz returned to Zions Bank Basketball Center on Thursday and Friday for some tough practices.
"They were competitive, I think that's how practices should be," Hayward said.
Utah (21-19) sits in third place in the NBA's Northwest Division and No. 7 overall in the Western Conference.
The Jazz actually moved up in the standings during their time off.
"We did talk about that a little bit," Hayward said. "We played a lot of games and so it was nice to sit back and watch other teams play each other. We were able to move up because of some losses."
One loss in particular was Cleveland's victory at Portland on Wednesday. It, coupled with losses by Denver and Memphis, allowed the Jazz to rise in the standings.
The Cavs' win that night was only their second in eight days and third this month.
Led by guard Kyrie Irving who averages 23.3 points per game, the Cavs (10-31) come in on a one-game winning streak. They sit in fifth place in the Central Division and No. 14 overall in the East.
Former Jazzman C.J. Miles is averaging 11.2 points as Cleveland's starting two-guard.
"We're just coming together, there's a lot of youth on the team, a lot of guys getting used to playing together," Miles said. "And a lot of guys getting used to learning how to win on this level."
Miles has more than seven years experience in the NBA, but he's one of nine players on the roster 25 or younger.
Irving, last season's Rookie of the Year, is just 20.
"He's extremely talented," Hayward said of Irving, a teammate on last summer's USA Men's Select team which trained against the U.S. men's Olympic team. "He's fast, he can shoot, he's got a really good handle on the ball so we have to make sure we're keeping an eye on him and knowing where he's at at all times."
The Jazz are led by center Al Jefferson, who averages 17.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Forward Paul Millsap averages 14.9 points and 7.7 boards per contest.
Millsap and Miles were close friends during their time together in Utah, however, Millsap said he'll put that aside when they meet tonight.
Asked what he'd do if Miles came driving down the lane unchecked, Millsap said it's nothing personal, just business.
"He's on the opposite team, he's not my teammate no more," he said. "I gotta do what I gotta do."
The Jazz will be without point guard Mo Williams (thumb surgery) tonight. Cleveland center Anderson Varajao (right knee contusion) is also out.

Part two of a seven part FanPost series looking at potential Home Grown Player signings on the Portland Timbers U-23s (based on the "[Brent] Richards Rule")
Steven Evans, a rising-junior at the University of Portland, is now in his fourth season with the Portland Timbers U-23s. The Pilots' midfielder was a member of the Oregon ODP from 2004-08 and a member of Eastside Timbers. Evans has earned respect from national publications like TopDrawerSoccer (TDS) for his success on the pitch at the University of Portland, and has also received honors and accolades for his play at UP and while in high school at Central Catholic.
Rated by TDS as the No. 2 player in the West Coast Conference and No. 57 player in Division One soccer. (TDS rated Evans after just two years of college, ahead of Columbus Crew HGP Ben Speas and Real Salt Lake's first round SuperDraft pick Enzo Martinez, both who had completed their junior seasons at North Carolina).
Before even setting foot on the pitch at Central Catholic, Evans was called into camp by the U.S. Youth National program in 2004. Once at Central Catholic, Evans won a 6A state title in 2007, before taking over a leading role in 2008 for the Rams. During the 2008 season Evans was named to the Mt. Hood Conference First Team and Oregon 6A Second-Team. 2009 saw Evans named the Mt. Hood Conference Player of the Year, a feat which also earned Evans a spot on the All-State First Team.
During the summer of 2010, Evans won both the U.S. Youth Soccer U-18 National Championship with Eastside Timbers and the PDL title with the Portland Timbers U-23s.
The following fall as a freshman at the University of Portland, Evans was named to the WCC All-Freshman Team, All-WCC Second Team and was named WCC Freshman of the Year. College Soccer News placed Evans on its All-Freshman Third Team.
During the winter of 2011, Evans participated in the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team Camp. In the fall Evans was named to the All-WCC First Team.
In club soccer prior to joining the Pilots, Evans was an Oregon State Champion in 2004, '05, '07, '09 and '10. Evans' club side won the regional title in 2010 before winning the national title as well. Clubs that Evans played for won the Surf Cup Championship, Nomads Tournament Championship and twice won the Phoenix President Cup.

Note: Since the day Richards was announced as a HGP, I've believed that Steven Evans would be a for sure signee. Assuming he qualifies, Evans is one to keep an eye on.

Bayless, Bayless Bayless.
Let's take a look at the facts. These observations are derived from both his statistics and extensive analysis of game film from high school and college.
Firstly, Bayless was a stud during college. He's proved that he can do a lot of things on the offensive end. First, he's a fast, athletic player. He has a prodigous vertical jump. He has decent ball handling, and can use all three of these assets to either drive and finish at the rim, or to drive and dish the ball to a teammate.
Secondly, Bayless is, at this point, not a true point guard. His game is geared towards the SG position; his offensive skill set would suit him very well for it. Sadly, he's not big enough or tall enough to play defense at the 2 guard position. Defending against other players his size, he does very well. He utilizes his speed and agility to play a harassing style of defense where he can shut down opposing players that are around his size, but he would have a tough time defending players who are 6'6 or 6'7. (He would be a great matchup against the lightning quick Aaron Brooks, but couldn't defend a player like Kobe Bryant or Dwyane Wade.)
Third, my point is that we shouldn't give up on Bayless as a point guard. He's fast, blindingly fast. For his size, he's surprisingly strong and has great stamina and athleticism. If he were to settle down a little bit, and focus on running a team rather than on scoring points, then his efficiency as a PG would improve. Also, if he were to improve his three point shooting (he is a blossoming shooter; averaged more than .400 3PT% during his time at Arizona but has only hit about 27% of his 3's in the NBA.
Athletically, Jerryd Bayless is a beast. He has great vertical, blinding speed, and good instincts near the basket. His game is geared towards playing the SG position, but his smaller size would make him a liability on defense, especially against elite players such as Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant. (Look at Ben Gordon for an example of this point.) He posseses all the intangibles- never gives up, scraps and fights for every ball posession, has the ferocity of a tiger and the heart of a lion. Essentially, his personality makes him a natural leader.
Whether he plays at the PG position or gets a few minutes at SG, or if the players decide to play 2 PGs at the same time, Bayless is sure to give it 100% on both the defensive and offensive ends. Given playing time, he will further develop his shot. At this moment in time, his passing is less than stellar, but is something that can be improved. Given his work ethic and dedication, he could blossom into a great point guard in the NBA if he were motivated and given playing time. He is a score-first point guard, and that's not necessarily a bad thing (look at Chris Paul).
Bayless definitely needs more playing time. Jerryd was picked with the 11th pick in the 2008 draft. How many other teams do you see letting their #11 picks lie around, not using them? OK, I'll give you that Steve Blake and Andre Miller are better point guards than Jerryd Bayless at this point in time. But Blake has no room for improvement; his play right now is as good as he'll ever play. Blake uses his inherent athletic ability to the max, and therefore is at his maximum potential for his athletic gifting. Andre is a great passer, but is reaching the end of his career.
Bayless has an upside on these two veterans. Everyone would agree that firstly, Bayless is more athletically gifted than Blake and Miller. I would even argue that he has more leadership potential than these two. If you've seen Jerryd make a great pass after driving to the basket, or dunking and getting an "And 1" (then subsequently screaming his defiance into the air), you might agree as well. I think his value mostly lies in being an elite point guard (if you can call it that) in the second unit. His scoring first mentality might not mesh with the high-powered trio of Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Greg Oden in the first unit, but it could do great things in the second unit. Look at the following chart of the Blazers' second unit with Bayless in the mix:
C- Joel Przybilla: Defensive leader of the team, works very hard for rebounds on the offensive and defensive end of the court. Very consistent player.
F- Travis Outlaw- Troutlaw will provide a good bit of offense for the team. His ability to pull up and take the jumper, as well as to drive on slower opponents at the PF position and finish at the basket or absorb the foul, mixed up with new dedication to defense, will make him a great backup forward.
F- Martell Webster- If Nic gets his starting job back after returning from surgery, Webster will be a difference maker in the second unit. So far, his defense looks great, and his offense has consistently made him a highlight reel player. He's also a great jump-shooter.
G/F- Rudy Fernandez- First and foremost a great shooter. Also a very good passer (McMillan rated him the second best passer on the team), and has good ballhandler. Is best suited for the SG position, but this year has also been playing a little bit of SF. Defense could use some work, but is a great offensive tool.
G- Jerryd Bayless- Brings a mentality to the team that attacks the paint. Forces second units to defend in the paint (as Chris Andersen is the only good shot blocker in the NBA in a team's second unit other than Przybilla, and Przybilla plays for the Blazers.) with much more effort and draws defenders off the perimeter. This definitely leaves wingmen open. With three deadly accurate three point shooters in the second unit, Bayless' ability to drive to the basket will lead to wide open threes by the other guards/forwards on the very talented second unit. This unit is built to run the fast break, and Bayless' on-court savvy and handles will give the Blazers a good chance of scoring a lot of fast break points.
So tell me what you think. I'll be glad to hear your feedback, etc. Thanks, and go Blazers!

The race for the Northampton County Council is heating up.
Hayden Phillips, a Lower Nazareth Township resident running as a Republican, is seeking one of five "at large" council seats in the 2013 election, according to a press release. This is Phillips' first run for elected office.
In his announcement, Phillips said "his training and experience will be a real asset in influencing the county's budget process and monitoring its overall fiscal responsibility."
During his professional career, the press release added, Phillips "has mastered group facilitation, group dynamics and consensus building." These are skills he feels are important to council members as they work together as a team.
A formal announcement was expected Wednesday afternoon from Republican Seth Vaughn, a Bethlehem resident who ran for the District 1 seat in 2011.
The Freedom High School graduate served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves and was deployed to Iraq with the Army's 101st Airborne Infantry Division.
Vaughn is a member of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission.
Glenn Reibman is expected to announce his candidacy for Northampton County Executive on Tuesday at the Grover Cleveland Democratic Club in Bethlehem.
Reibman, a former two-term Northampton County Executive, two-term county councilman and six-term county council president, is determined to finish the job he started when he was first elected back in 1989, a press release stated.

a –clean with little hop presence. picking up slight oxidization. this beer was further down the flight so some of the aroma may have escaped (though I gave it a nice swirl) and my nose may have been shot.
a – very thin off-white head. copper/mahogany hue. some haze.
f – sweet malt with spicy hops. toffee. hops shine through on a nice malt backbone
m – well carbonated. medium body. no astringency
a – nice alt. reads as a Dusseldorf. good balance. though oxidization detected this is a very drinkable 7.2%

The beer pours a dark brownish-red color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of toffee with some dark fruit added. The flavor is similar. I get a lot of toffee and hazelnut notes, with some dark fruit thrown in. Light mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I don't have much to say about the beer because there is not a whole lot going on. A decent, easy drinker but nothing too exciting.

12 oz bottle poured to pint glass. A hazed, dark amber pour with little head that quickly fades to collar and almost no lace. Aroma of toasted malt and a spice like a rye. The flavor is caramel malt balanced with a hay-like hop and tangy spice. Has an earthy, slightly bitter and dry finish. More than average carbonation keeps it lively. Think this beer would be perfect when paired with a grilled pork chop.

Pours a nice amber hue with a big fluffy head. Nice lacing throughout the drink as well.
The aroma is of caramel, smoke, roast, and some hops. I see where the alt comes in. There is a hint of staleness in there and a slight hint of bile.
The taste is mostly sweet malt with some roast and a bit of hoppy bitterness to balance. Not bad at all. Very wasy drinking.
The feel is a bit light, yet maintains a creaminess.
Overall, pretty good. This would pair better with food than it stands alone.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Dark brown in color, head dissipates quickly.
Smells of burnt caramel and malt
Taste is very bitter and overwhelming, not getting much other than that. Extreme hop presence
Average mouthfeel, nothing to write about here
Has an IPA bitterness but without the good citrus or floral smell and aroma. Not my cup of tea.

A: I poured the beer from a 12 oz bottle into a glass and it has a a dark brown color with not much head
smell: I am getting a lot of chocolate malt scents from this beer. Also have some caramel scents
taste: The taste was super unexpected. It hits your pallet with a toffee flavor with a slight chocolate flavor after taste.
M: The mouth feels is amazing. Super smooth and just as perfect as it gets for a beer.
Overall this beer is okay.

On-tap at Rockwell Tavern without knowing the style. Pint glass served a dark crimson color with a dense, tight off-white head. Good looker, pretty clear.
Nose is malty, lightly earthy. Some dark fruits showing through with a burnt caramel aspect. Very little hops…my first guess was a Scottish-style ale.
Taste leans heavily towards the malty end of the spectrum with a nutty yeast flavor and bold, near-burnt toffee…almost like licking a coffee bean….roasted and husky even. Sweetness is low and shows barely a light dusting of cocoa powder. Alcohol is up there, feels around 7% or so. Not bad, not bad…an interesting bockish-scottish ale that drinks pretty decent. I see this is an Altbier here on BA...I can see that, maybe like an Imperial ALtbier of sorts :)

Appearance: Slightly hazy dark amber in color, with a large, tan head, which persists quite well. The head is sticky, rather dense, and resembles a cloud top. The lacing is thick, sticky and Belgian in its appearance.
Aroma: Lots of toasted and dark burnt malts,with toast notes as well. There is a mild herbal hop presence.
Taste: Opens with a toasted malt, or toasted dark bread note, soon followed by a mild current of sweet caramel. This segues into intensely roasted, almost burnt notes which carry to the end of the taste. Finishes with a lingering, sharp metallic hop note.
Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, quite pleasant.
Drinkability/notes: Seems a bit off-style, the grains seem over-toasted.
Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce brown glass long neck bottle with a pry-off crown, served in a standard Pilsener glass.

From my tasting notes: The Gravel Road was a deep reddish amber color that's not too heavy despite its 7% alcohol content. I tasted a malty sweetness and slight caramel as well. It went down fast and easy and was a good introduction to Rahr & Sons. Not a great Alt but not bad either.

Split each of your running workouts into three distinct phases. Start slowly, and work up to your normal speed. When you are almost done with your run, run faster than your average pace. This interval running style increases endurance levels, quickly allowing for longer runs each time you exercise.
Total fitness goes beyond exercising in a health club with expensive weights and cardio machines. Lots of body strength, determination, patience, and knowledge are needed in order to have success with your fitness and health plans. Follow the tips below to help you enhance your fitness plan.
Purchase time with a trainer so you get the motivation you need to start working out. A competent trainer can assess where you are now and recommend a workout routine that can get you where you want to go. Working out with a trainer can help you overcome any jitters you might have about going to the gym as a beginner. After doing this, you'll be ready to begin a new plan that works for you. Yard work can provide you with a great workout. It's highly likely that your yard could use the work anyway, and you certainly need to keep yourself moving. This combination is excellent. To give yourself some physical activity, improve your space weekly. You will not notice how long you are working but you will get the benefits.
Here is an exercise to build and strengthen muscles. Record the amount of weights that you're lifting for a given exercise, and then multiply that number by the sets that you do. Work to raise this total – by increasing either weight or reps – every day to keep improving your strength.
Be certain that you drink enough water everyday. When you exercise, the friction from the constant movement of your muscle fibers create heat, which leads to the rapid loss of water from your body. As a response, your body sweats as a means to remove the excess heat and cool down, which results in slight dehydration.
To prevent injury when working out, you should stretch after you've sufficiently warmed up your muscles. Do some cardiovascular exercises (jogging, running, bicycling, etc.) first and then stretch your muscles. If you stretch too early, you can leave yourself vulnerable to pulled or torn muscles. Stretching after cardiovascular exercise, also helps to improve flexibility.

Billy's been talking to the media lately. It always sounds better when Billy talks, because he's better at, shall we say, "nuancing the truth" than Lew Wolff. But I thought there were a couple of interesting tidbits that, if they turn out to not be falsehood and misdirection, give some insight into how Billy will try and build the 2011 A's.
This is what a lot of people have been talking about. The big takeaway from this article for me was Beane's thoughts on the health of his players. Of course, everyone on AN, and probably every A's fan who followed the team for more than two days, agrees with his assessment on this. The question is, has Billy finally become so fed up with this that he's willing to actually do something about it and overhaul his medical and training staff?
Another area of the article, which to me can only be read pessimistically, was this: "That being said, [offense] is an area we're going to be looking at, but somewhat more strategically than just looking at someone's power numbers. Ultimately, we'd like to get as many multitalented players as possible, and that includes the other side of the diamond -- defense and running the bases as well, because we were a very good baserunning team this year." Once again, this is pretty much confirmation that Billy's not going to go out and look for a big-bat power hitter. He's much more likely to look for another Coco. Now don't get me wrong: I love base stealing, but I love it the way I love the Die Hard movies. I know it's not that important or good, but I like it because it's fun. The O.G. stat-oriented general manager shouldn't be looking to grab a couple more speedsters; we don't need Juan Pierre or whatever. We need, at the very least, another Jack Cust or another Daric Barton (preferable another Daric Barton, because defense.)
Billy says it again a bit later: "I would suspect there are some players that a lot of teams would have interest in. But as far as our interest in individual players, looking at the overall makeup of the team from this point going forward, what we can conceivably have in terms of budget will obviously be considered." Translated: Sorry, we're just a sad old professional sports team, just a potentially billion-dollar business run by billionairres. There's just no way we could spend enough money to compete with all those big bad Yankees and Phillies out there.
And then there's this! Extry Extry!
Where does this phrase come from: "to come out and win 18 games with a sub-three ERA and lead the league in opponents batting average"...Apparently Billy Beane cares about W-L record, ERA, and BA now. But the really important stuff, to me, were these two things. First: "When approached about the long-term plan for Chris Carter, Beane said "I think it's our intention" to keep him in the outfield." That's great, that's the only place he fits because..."Daric Barton has solidified himself at first, and I think Chris is a good enough athlete to make the transition. He really just went out there a couple weeks before he came up, so I think we need to give him some time. He does have power. So getting back to Daric, he showed himself to be, in my opinion, the best first baseman in the league. He's also made significant strides offensively. I was quite pleased with what he did there this year, and I have no intention of taking him off first base." Yes! Finally an actual, explicit acknowledgement that the front office is please with Daric Barton and is going to leave him where he belongs.

If you have planting left to do, or are looking to pick up a few flowers, a trip to Reedsville could help support people with disabilities.
Tuesday, the Preston County Workshop opened its greenhouse for the season.
Since 1977, the workshop has help employ people with disabilities who often struggle to find jobs.
"I felt I wasn't adequate enough to hold a job, in any location at all," said Alicia Bowman, an employee of the Preston County Workshop. "Really my self esteem was low, there was depression, you know you just don't have self-confidence. And this has changed all that."
Legally blind, Bowman's story is like so many others. A career as a receptionist in the medical field her disability left her discouraged and frustrated.
"Being a visioned person all my life, and then losing my vision it's really hard for me to try to express that 'no I can't see that,' or 'I can't visualize that' as much as I'd like to," she said.
The non-profit employs around 40 people and has a number of jobs from industrial create building, to a greenhouse. It offers valuable training to workers.
"They receive on the job training, safety, working together with other individuals, a skill, attendance, punctuality, and that betters them to go out in the public and find a job that betters themselves and make more money," said executive director John Hyre.
"It keeps up my self esteem," Bowman said. "It gets me out and around people. It makes me appreciate other with disabilities. I can truthfully say it's been a life changing experience for me."
The greenhouse is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Sounds of NBC Monitor
So what did NBC Radio's weekend-long Monitor sound like? Like nothing ever heard before, or since, on network radio.
Each weekend the program featured a kaleidoscope of news, music, comedy, sports, variety, remotes, live interviews and taped snippets.
During its nearly 20-year run, Monitor was on the air for 20,000 hours.
Below is a sampling of what you might have heard on a typical weekend on the Monitor Beacon.
Hello, again, Monitor fans, and welcome to summer!
We chose our latest "new" Monitor offerings, just below, with an eye on fun -- and on Father's Day.
The "fun" is provided by Ted Brown, the great WNBC and WNEW personality who hosted Sunday afternoon Monitor from 1970 into 1972.
In the clip below, we offer two of the many classic "stripper" routines Ted ad-libbed during his Sunday segments on Monitor -- with David Rose's "Stripper" music always playing in the background. We also hear Ted introduce Monitor's movie critic, Gene Shalit, who, indeed, is highly critical of an Elliott Gould movie of the moment.
The second new clip, below, features another Sunday afternoon Monitor host -- Barry Nelson -- on Nov. 20, 1966 -- one of Barry's last programs before leaving Monitor after nearly three years of excellent work.
The segment features Thanksgiving greetings from American troops in Vietnam -- a report on an important election in the (then) West German state of Bavaria -- and a simply wonderful piece by Monitor's "expert on nothing with opinions on everything" -- cartoonist Al Capp.
Though this aired the weekend before Thanksgiving, we're offering Al's commentary as a Father's Day gift to all you dads and grand-dads. Listen, and you'll hear why.
And thanks to our friend Louis Castaing for suggesting this clip and for recording it off WJBO Radio in Baton Rouge on that Sunday, nearly a half-century ago.
On a completely unrelated note -- if you haven't already, check out this link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMIj1bW-0aA.
Scott Marinoff discovered it. Amazing. A band playing the Monitor theme at a festival a few years ago -- the theme that Buddy Rich first recorded back in the 1960's.
Monitor had quite an impact on American pop culture, didn't it?

Time: 21 minutes
Frank Blair had taken over as Sunday night Monitor host in 1964, replacing fellow NBC newsman Frank McGee. In this segment from July 18, 1965,
Monitor and Blair pay tribute to the late Adlai Stevenson, the former Democratic presidential candidate and ambassador to the United Nations, who had
had died just days before.

Dead body found inside Paradise Valley home
Originally published: Apr 29, 2014 - 7:23 pm
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. -- Authorities are investigating the discovery of a dead body inside a Paradise Valley home.
Paradise Valley police say a caretaker arrived at the luxury house near 54th Street and Lincoln Drive and called authorities after finding the body about 4:40 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say the person was pronounced dead at the scene and the case is being treated as a suspicious death.
The name of the person found dead hasn't been released and police won't comment yet on the manner of death.
Detectives remain at the scene and police say it's an ongoing investigation.
They're in the process of obtaining a search warrant for the home.
Television footage shows police cars parked outside the home with police tape blocking off the driveway.
