Matt Garza beats Yankees in Rangers debut
Jul 24, 2013, 11:16 PM EST
Matt Garza's first start for the Rangers couldn't have gone much better, as he allowed just an unearned run over 7 1/3 innings to pick up a victory in a 3-1 game against the Yankees on Wednesday.
Garza struck out five and walked none to outshine Andy Pettitte in Pettitte's best start in six weeks. The left-hander gave up just two runs in six innings. It was the first time since a June 8 victory over the Mariners that Pettitte surrendered fewer than four runs.
Garza has won each of his last six starts dating back to June 21, not giving up more than two runs in any of them. The lone run tonight came after his own error in the sixth. Brett Gardner hit a comebacker that Garza struggled to grab and then threw away. It was ruled an infield single and a two-base throwing error that allowed Gardner to reach third.

At Reunion this year, we asked some of our veteran franchisees, "Why are you proud to be a veteran?" We recorded their answers and created a video documenting their responses. I want to share this video with you now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5PHep0ziHA
I feel strongly that this video will be a great tribute to the veterans in all of our lives. So strongly, in fact, that I have asked our IT department to temporarily allow access to social media sites for this week only. Please take a moment now to share it on your Facebook and Twitter pages – tag the veterans in your life on the post as a way of acknowledging their sacrifices and thanking them for their service. (Although the restriction has been lifted for the week, please use good judgment in your use of these sites, as they will be monitored for excessive use.)
Our founder – my father – Don Dwyer was an adamant supporter of our veterans. He had a true passion for helping them design their life and take control of their future through franchising. During the Gulf war, he founded the VetFran program, offering veterans discounts on purchasing a franchise. Since then, the VetFran program has grown substantially and to date we have provided over $2 million in discounts to veteran franchisees. This is a testament to our commitment to helping veterans live happier, more successful lives.
Veterans Day is a solemn day of reverence, where we give gratitude for the sacrifices made in order that we may live freely in this great country. Elmer Davis once said, "This nation will remain the land of the free, so long as it is the home of the brave."
Take a moment to thank the brave Veterans in your life.

Click here to read our press release: http://www.dwyergroup.com/press/2014/11/06/the-dwyer-group-surpasses-2-3-million-in-discounts-to-military-veterans-awarded-a-franchise-through-vetfran-program/
A: The Dwyer Group service brands look for franchisees that fit our corporate culture –
our mission, vision and values. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to be experienced in the service trades either. Our mission is 'to teach our principles and systems of personal and business success so that all people we touch live happier, more successful lives'. Our vision is 'to be a world-class company admired for excellence that customers, franchisees and associates experience with The Dwyer Group'. Those men and women looking to deliver a world-class experience to customers, looking to operate their own business, and seeking happiness and success in their lives are a wonderful fit as franchisees.
A: At the heart of our success and across our service brands is The Dwyer Group code of values – our roadmap in business and in life. We call it living RICH: following the themes of Respect, Integrity, Customer focus and Having fun in the process. That code continues to attract franchise owners, master licensees and service professionals across our network to deliver a superior experience to their end-user customer as well. By following our code of values and the franchise system, we have grown to more than 1,600 locations around the world, and the expansion continues.
Author of "Live R.I.C.H.: How to build success in your company and your life with a proven Code of Values," Dwyer-Owens has become a nationally-acclaimed speaker on the topics of ethics in business and the success of The Dwyer Group Code of Values following the themes of Respect, Integrity, Customer focus and Having fun in the process.
Today, The Dwyer Group is one of the world's largest franchising companies of trades service brands. Combined, those service brands account for almost $1 billion in annual system-wide revenues.
Since her appearances on the CBS Emmy-winning reality show "Undercover Boss" in 2012 and 2013, Dwyer-Owens regularly shares her message to help more audiences build positive environments for their companies and their people with a Code of Values.
That message fits perfectly with the theme of this year's USSSA conference: "The Culture of the Winner's Circle."
"I am a big believer that values bring value, just like the U.S. Swim School Association has its own defined Core Values and Core Purpose," Dwyer-Owens said. "Ethics and principals will forever have a significant impact on the bottom line for organizations. The Dwyer Group family of service brands would not be a $1 billion business around the world without our Code of Values as our foundation. And there should be no limits to others finding that same happiness in business and in life."
In my book Live R.I.C.H., I described what it was like when we met The Riverside Company for the very first time many years ago. That experience is magnified today as we prepare for our amazing journey forward.
[book excerpt:]
"When The Dwyer Group agreed to a site visit from partners of The Riverside Company, our visitors were very interested in one thing: our numbers. I was interested in something else: our people and our Code of Values. I told them that if the heart of the business — our Code of Values — was working, the rest would follow suit. The money was secondary. That wasn't typical of what investors hear, but it made plenty of sense for a company that Lives. R.I.C.H."
Indeed, the Code of Values has been our roadmap to unprecedented growth that continues to this day. The Riverside Company purchased The Dwyer Group in 2003, took the company private, and together we took our business and our service brands to a whole new level. That continued when The Dwyer Group was acquired by TZP Group LLC in 2010 and, once again, exceeded expectations for growth. And here we are, acquired for a third time, but with a familiar investor.
Our franchise family has been very fortunate to align with investors in the private equity world who appreciate our corporate culture as a driving force behind who we are and what we do. We live our Code of Values, and our investors understand what that means.
Following the themes of Respect, Integrity, Customer focus, and Having fun in the process – we know how to Live R.I.C.H. at The Dwyer Group. Our Code of Values brings value far beyond just the numbers associated with our business. And that's an incredibly attractive investment.
Congratulations, team!]]>
The Dwyer Group, based in Waco, Texas, serves as a holding company for seven residential and commercial franchise service brands. The franchise network includes more than 1,600 franchisees operating in the United States and seven other countries. In addition to its franchise concepts, The Dwyer Group also owns and operates 35 full-service glass stores in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Combined, the service brands account for almost $1 billion in annual system-wide revenues.
Riverside first purchased The Dwyer Group in 2003, taking the company private and working with company management to accelerate growth through acquisitions of new brands, expanding facilities at corporate headquarters, and aggressive development of existing franchise brands. After seven years of growth, the firm sold The Dwyer Group to TZP Group LLC in 2010 where the franchise network and its revenues continued to thrive along with the respected profile of the service brands across the U.S. and around the world.
The Riverside purchase transfers majority ownership from TZP back to Riverside along with a significant reinvestment from The Dwyer Group executive team, and an investment from each brand president within The Dwyer Group companies.
"We're extremely excited to welcome The Dwyer Group back to The Riverside Company and to become involved once again with franchisees and associates dedicated to a strong Code of Values," said Sarah Roth, a partner based at The Riverside Company's Dallas office. "The executive team remains fully committed to the business, and The Dwyer Group service brands are well positioned for more expansion."
"The Dwyer transaction has been a very successful one for TZP reflecting the very essence of our firm's strategy of being the Partner of Choice for management teams," said Sam Katz, managing partner for TZP. "We are very proud of our joint achievements in enhancing the franchisee value proposition and initiating exciting online and offline marketing initiatives. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Dina and the Dwyer team and watching them continue to succeed at building this special company."
Calling TZP a tremendous partner for The Dwyer Group over the past three-and-a-half years, Dina Dwyer-Owens, Executive Chairwoman of The Dwyer Group, said the successful relationship set the stage for the next bold step forward. "I commend our talented and dedicated team members and their commitment to The Dwyer Group Code of Values that has served as our roadmap as we've traveled a journey of unprecedented growth."
Mike Bidwell, CEO and President of The Dwyer Group, added, "By focusing on our core brands and service to our franchisees, we have enjoyed incredible success that continues to this very day, and that success has been noticed for all the right reasons."
The entire executive team at The Dwyer Group will remain in place and will work with Riverside to advance the organization to the next level.

The Dwyer Group is looking for more local women to apply for a scholarship aimed at helping women pursue technical and trade careers.
The Waco-based company is kicking off the fourth awards cycle for its Women in the Trades Scholarship Program.
The scholarship is worth $1,500. It can be used at any accredited technical or trade school to obtain training in plumbing, restoration, landscaping, HVAC service or electrical, glass and appliance repair.
But only 21 women have applied for the scholarship since it began in 2012. Of the nine winners so far, none are from the Waco area.
That's something The Dwyer Group executive chairwoman Dina Dwyer-Owens hopes will change as she continues to push for more women to enter trade fields.
"I think historically there's been low interest because women don't typically think about themselves in the trades, but I do know more and more women are considering it now because they're seeing more women in it," Dwyer-Owens said.
"It's a matter of having enough confidence in yourself, and that's one of the things women struggle with is confidence. But if they really do know the trade, if they really do know how to make the repairs, that's all it takes is one job and you show the customer, 'I do know what I'm doing here.' "
Dwyer-Owens started the scholarship after her first experience on CBS' "Undercover Boss," in which she assumed the identity of a trainee looking to become a service technician within one of the seven home repair franchises in The Dwyer Group.
One segment of the show centers on her interactions with Tanna Marino, a Houston-area Mr. Appliance technician and former stay-at-home mom. Marino told the undercover Dwyer-Owens that a Mr. Appliance franchise owner who serviced her refrigerator asked her firefighter husband to consider a part-time job with him, but she decided to jump on the opportunity instead.
Marino is now part of the The Dwyer Group's corporate team for the Mr. Appliance brand and also sits on the Women in the Trades committee.
"We had 647 women that contacted us within the first week after the show aired that said, 'How do I become a technician with one of your brands?' " Dwyer- Owens said.
"For years I've wanted more women to be involved in the trades, and I have just struggled with how do we get the message out that this is available to them . . . 'Undercover Boss' ended up being the outlet."
Dwyer-Owens said only about 4 percent of technicians in the company's franchises are women, but she wants to make it close to 50 percent of the workers.
Dwyer-Owens said having more female technicians can improve a franchise's relationship with customers. For example, she thinks a female technician may be more comforting to certain clients, such as single or elderly women uneasy with male repairmen in their homes for extended work.
Technical trades can also be quite lucrative. Dwyer- Owens said an entry-level drain cleaner may earn $35,000 a year, while some plumbers may gross $150,000. The Dwyer Group also offers discounts on franchise fees to employees based on their years of service through its Hiring Individuals, Recruiting Entrepreneurs (HIRE) program.
"I think it offers women an opportunity they've never thought of or considered," Dwyer-Owens said. "The career path in the trades is that you learn it, and then you can end up owning your own business one day."
Frances Worthey is director of student life at Texas State Technical College, which has a Women in Technology student support group. Those students trade stories and advice on topics like being surrounded by mainly male peers and balancing their school, work and family lives.
"Sometimes what one person is experiencing in a field can help another person who may have felt isolated or may have felt they were an island by themselves," Worthey said. "That's where convincing them that concept of, 'I can, you can, too,' comes into play."
Worthey said a technology scholarship program for women serves as a powerful motivator to help more female students stick with their career plans.
"There are lots of women out there that need career changes, that need to be made aware of technical education and the many opportunities that are available to women, and with that they need the incentive and the encouragement to make that step forward," Worthey said.
The Dwyer Group is accepting applicants for its Women in the Trades scholarship program.
Female applicants must be 18 or older and pursuing technical education or training in plumbing, restoration, landscaping, HVAC service or electrical, glass or appliance repair.
The scholarship is worth $1,500. Deadline to apply is Sept. 30.

I usually give this seminar to new franchise owners across our service brands at The Dwyer Group and new associates who join our company. I usually address a working crowd of business owners and salaried employees about setting goals to achieve their dreams. I usually urge them to start thinking about retirement, just as they are joining our company. And it's one of the biggest rewards for me — encouraging people to set goals so they can do whatever they want in life.
But why do you have to wait to set those goals? There should be no age limit for people to make this journey. And the earlier you dare to dream, the better your chances for reaching those dreams. The students at George Washington YABC will be inspired to do so. Maybe they dream of traveling the world, or going fishing everyday, or having a ranch, or doing mission work in foreign countries. I've heard it all. And it all sounded unattainable at the time for the people who wanted those things. But those are all real examples of success stories from our Design Your Life classes. So, for the students who are younger, more energetic, and getting an even earlier start on the career path, there is no time like today to Design Your Life.
Best wishes to them all!
ACTION STEP – It is important for your team to be on the same page with communication!

Researchers from the Boston area, Mexico, and Norway have completed a comprehensive genomic analysis of cervical cancer in two patient populations. The study identified recurrent genetic mutations not previously found in cervical cancer, including at least one for which targeted treatments have been approved for other forms of cancer. The findings also shed light on the role human papillomavirus (HPV) plays in the development of cervical cancer.The study, which appears online in Nature, addresses a public health concern of global significance: cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women and is responsible for approximately 10 percent of cancer deaths in women - particularly in developing countries where screening methods are not readily accessible. Almost all cases of the disease are caused by exposure to HPV and it is expected that vaccination efforts targeting HPV will decrease cervical cancer cases over time. In the meantime, however, the disease remains a significant threat to women's health. "Cancer is a disease that affects the whole world, and one question that always arises is: is a given cancer type similar or different across populations?" explained Matthew Meyerson, one of the paper's co-senior authors. Meyerson is a professor of pathology and medical oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a senior associate member of the Broad Institute. "While we don't have the complete answer yet in this case, what we are seeing is that, in two different populations, the causes of cervical cancer are similar and, fundamentally in both cases, it comes down to HPV-genome interaction." To investigate the genomic underpinnings of the disease, the team performed whole exome sequencing, which examines the genetic code in the protein-coding regions of the genome, on samples from 115 cervical cancer patients from Norway and Mexico. In some cases, the researchers also conducted whole genome sequencing (analyzing the genetic code across the entire genome) or transcriptome sequencing (focusing on gene expression). In each case, the researchers compared genomic data derived from cervical cancer tumors with genomic data from healthy tissue from the same individual to determine what may have gone wrong - or mutated - in the genome to allow the cancer to develop. The mutations identified in tumors but not in healthy tissues from the same individuals are referred to as somatic mutations. The study benefited from the international collaboration of scientists from research institutes across the globe and was made possible by SIGMA - the Slim Initiative for Genomic Medicine in the Americas - which promotes the study of genomic medicine in the service of global health. "Low and middle-income countries suffer the largest burden of cancer in the world," said co-author Jorge Melendez, of the National Institute of Genomic Medicine in Mexico City. "Nevertheless, only 5 percent of all the global resources dedicated to this group of diseases are allocated to them. Initiatives that promote joint efforts with developing countries will help to advance not only the knowledge of the shared and distinct biological aspects of cancer diseases, but also highlight local action items to impact public health."

|Optimization of Treatment and Management of Schizophrenia in Europe
|Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is optimising current treatments in schizophrenia and explore novel therapeutic options for schizophrenia. The study intends to both address basic, but so far unanswered, questions in the treatment of schizophrenia and develop new interventions. It is expected that the project will lead to evidence that is directly applicable to treatment guidelines, and will identify potential mechanisms for new drug development.
|Detailed Description
Despite nearly fifty years of pharmacological and psychosocial research, the overall prognosis of schizophrenia has improved only marginally. While the efficacy of most antipsychotic medication is generally uncontested, their overall functional impact has been modest. In order to improve this unsatisfactory result, this study aims to optimize current treatments in schizophrenia and explore novel therapeutic options for schizophrenia. The study comprises a medication intervention component, a psychosocial intervention component, a biological predictor component and an MRI component. MRI assessments are performed at baseline, and used to determine whether potential organic causes for psychotic symptoms are present, and to test prospective value of these assessments for subsequent treatment response. MRI assessments of healthy volunteers will be included to test for deviations in patients' assessments; these volunteers will not participate in any other protocol procedure. The medication intervention component comprises a first 4-week phase of amisulpride treatment. Non-responders will subsequently be randomised to a 6-week double blind phase on either amisulpride or olanzapine. Patients who classify as non-responders at the end of this phase, a 12-week open label treatment with clozapine is initiated. Patients who classify as a responder in phase I, II or III, are drop outs or who are non-responders at the end of phase III flow to the psychosocial intervention component of the study. During this part, several interventions are tested, aimed to increase treatment compliance and keep patients on the medication to which they've responded well. Through the biological predictor component, it is determined whether glutamatergic markers predict response to first and second line treatments, and if an empirical combination of pharmacogenetic, proteomics- and metabolomic markers can provide clinical valuable predictive value.

Leadership > Annual Report 2012-2013 > Report on University Finances
Report on University Finances
The New School's fiscal 2013 financial results demonstrate our ongoing dependence on enrollment. The university had an increase in net assets of $7.3 million from operating activities based on revenues of $314 million, resulting in a 2.3% operating margin, against last year's 2.6%. The slight decline in operating margin reflects an increase in support for students as well as our continuing efforts to reduce costs.
The endowment rebounded from the prior year's loss, posting a 5.9% gain for the fiscal year. This positive performance contributed to an overall increase in total net assets of $11.2 million, to $439 million.
Progress on the construction of the University Center is the most significant change in the university's balance sheet. Expenditures on land, buildings. and equipment increased by $130.5 million, reflecting this construction. At the statement date the University Center project remained both on schedule and on budget.
The fiscal 2013 financial results reflect the university's overall trend of financial stability. The National Association of College and University Business Officers recently ranked The New School number 8 among schools that registered the highest average annual percentage change in net assets from 2000 to 2010. We have only fixed-rate long-term debt; we have no outstanding derivative instruments with counterparty or market risk; and we enjoy ready access to cash. Our financial position is strong.

In a nutshell: Modern public administrations aim at providing efficient, open and citizen-centric public services, while reducing users' administrative burden and minimising costs. In this view, public sector innovation and modernisation are recognised as key elements for Europe's economic strength and competitiveness. At the same time the availability of mobile Internet continuously changes daily life, in the sense that mobile phones are becoming the most rapidly adopted technology in history.
According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), active mobile-broadband subscriptions in Europe exploded from 176 million to 422 million between 2010 and 2013. Member State's Governments and the European Commission alike aspire to exploit the advancement of mobile communication technologies. Thus, the focus shifts towards what came to be known as mobile government (mGovernment). mGovernment can be defined as the strategic adoption of mobile technologies and platforms for delivering eGovernment services.
It's been realised that mGovernment can also help to pave the way for public sector innovation by using interoperable mobile applications, which support quick access to integrated data and location-based services.
The European Commission (DG CONNECT) and ePractice.eu organise the workshop under the title 'Leveraging Mobile Technology to Extend eGovernment's Reach and Scope' on 21 May 2014, to discuss how mGovernment can further be promoted and how European public administrations can reap its benefits with the view to minimise cost and deliver better and more efficient services to their citizens.

Rich in history and beautifully constructed. Churches usually have some of the most exquisite art work in terms of woodwork, stain glass, statuary and sculptures.
Wonderful mix of parishioners very real holy feeling. Would like to go to this Church every week.
If you're in downtown Detroit give it a try.
You get a taste of Detroit's French roots when you visit Ste. Anne de Detroit. The tomb of Fr. Gabriel Richard is here as well, who was one of the founders of University of Michigan.
Almost an overwhelming presence is felt just as I walked into the main foyer. Its old style, plain yet beautiful. Once you take in the history and sanctity of the church, it is very relaxing, comforting and peacefull. Perfect place to come, sit, contemplae, think and pray.
The oldest church in Detroit. If you are interested in history and beautiful old churches, put this on your list.
really a nice experience . Detroit has lots of history and we should see it before it is too late
ste. anne's church has been a vital part of the detroit community for years. it is a beautiful church, majestic and awe inspiring. i have been going to this church for about 50 years and i never tire of it. it's not as easy to get to it as it once was and the area has experienced a dramatic change...

The Week That Was
Tuesday, October 30th – Pats 2 @ Saskatoon 3
The Pats entered the third period down 2-1 in the contest, but Lane Scheidl's second goal of the contest evened things in the late stages. The Pats couldn't complete the third period comeback as Shane McColgan scored the winner just 53 seconds after Scheidl's goal. A late surge from the Pats couldn't beat Andrey Makarov and the final sat 3-2 Saskatoon.
Friday, November 2nd – Pats 1 @ Calgary 4
The Pats put together a strong effort on the Pink Ice last night, but found themselves down 2-1 entering the final period of play. The Pats pressed late and emptied the net with time winding down, but Brooks Macek pounced for two goals with Hewitt out of the cage to wrap the game up on a 4-1 score.
Saturday, November 3rd – Pats 4 @ Prince Albert 1
The Pats brought their best effort of the week against the then conference leading Raiders. After a slow start in the first that saw the teams tied 1-1, the Pats took over the next forty minutes. Colten Mayor got the Pats a lead heading into the third period. In the final frame, Dyson Stevenson and Jack Rodewald tacked on two more markers in the early going and Regina cruised to the 4-1 victory.
Quote of the Week
"It gives the guys confidence. (The Raiders) are a dangerous hockey club. There's a reason why they're the best in the conference right now. We stuck to it. The guys kept it simple. We had some breakdowns but there was someone else to help. It wasn't a total breakdown where we were running all over. It did happen a couple times but it was a pretty good effort all the way around." – Head Coach Pat Conacher after the Pats victory over Prince Albert
(Courtesy Greg Harder – Leader Post)
The Week Ahead
Wednesday, November 7th – Pats vs Seattle
The Pats take on their fourth of five teams from the U.S. Division when the Thunderbirds come visit the Brandt Centre. The Blue and White are 2-1-0-0 against the U.S. Division this season.
Friday, November 9th – Pats at Saskatoon
After the Blades knocked off the Pats at the Brandt Centre last week, the Pats look to return the favour when they travel to the Credit Union Centre for a rematch with the Memorial Cup Hosts.
Saturday, November 10th – Pats vs Lethbridge
The Pats welcome the Hurricanes to the Brandt Centre on Military Appreciation Night. The first meeting of the season with Lethbridge decidedly didn't go the Pats way.

Woman uses tracking technology to find stolen iPhone
Updated On: Mar 27 2014 03:34:38 PM CDT
Madison police said a 23-year-old woman used tracking technology to find her stolen iPhone.
The downtown resident told police she used her laptop to track her phone to a Fitchburg home after it was stolen around 2 a.m. from Genna's Cocktail Lounge at 105 W. Main St. on March 22, according to a release.
The 23-year-old rode with officers to the home where a 29-year-old said he found the phone early last Saturday morning on a sidewalk near a hotel, officials said. He later told police he found it in a bathroom at Genna's.
While the 29-year-old had the iPhone, he sent a friend request to the woman's Facebook account and used her phone to accept the request, according to the release. The woman said she does not know the man, and the officer told him to not have contact with her.

I've always hated my breasts - they didnt develop properly during puberty and although no one has ever mentioned having a problem with them when we're being intimate, Ive always felt deeply embarassed.
Ive been researching having a breast lift for a while now and have decided to go with a breast lift operation in Europe early next year. I'm terrified !! Although the ideal would be to have them done in London, I just cant afford the £5000 price tag and it's literally half the cost in europe. Because f my deformity, Im not sure if I need specialist treatment or whether a simple vertical mastopexy will sort out my problem, but have posted my question to the site and I find the doctors answers really helpful so will see what they have to say.
I was considering Elyzea clinic in Belgium as I know someone who had a breast lift done there, but the more I researched I'm now considering Laderma clinic in Prague as I like the sound of the layout and care they provide there. I've already had an email consultation with them and the communication is great and it sounds promising. They have lots of before and after pics available for the breast lift, but Im a little bit concerned that none of the before pics look like tuberous breasts, so not sure how they'll handle a set like mine!
Ive been scrolling through this site for months and it's been so helpful so I figure Id upload my own story and get some support and maybe help others who are just starting on their journey like me!
Im now waiting to hear back from Laderma on availability dates and then will most likely book in a date and pay my deposit. So so excited and so scared, wish me luck x

Ramen Misoya Montreal
Finally a real and good Japanese ramen place. This international chain opened its Montreal location on December 26 2012. They have the Kome and Shiro Miso ramen selections from the NYC menu (www.misoyanyc.com). Prices are similar and the Kome Cha-Shu bowl is hearty. I still prefer Imadake's Chicken Kara-Age and I have not tried their Gyoza (next week).
No more cold Cha-Shu pieces in the soup as it was the case with Ichiban. No bland broth like Hakata Ramen on Stanley. We are still missing tonkotsu ramen though.
Not to be confused with the Korean/Japanese restaurant Misoya in Lasalle.
re: SnackHappy
According to google, it should be located at 2065 Bishop, although i'll let the OP confirm as there doesn't seem to have an official website
re: westaust
They have a Facebook page with all the informations : http://www.facebook.com/ramenmisoyamo...
re: SnackHappy
It's to the north of Burritoville, towards Sherbrooke, before the old Les Chenets location. The exact address is 2065A Bishop St. It's the restaurant in the half-basement. On top of it is a new all you can eat Korean BBQ that I haven't tried yet. I will be back to Misoya next Monday at 7pm, come and compare notes!
re: marblebag
the Korean place is not new. It's been there for 2 years. It is very good.
re: catroast
What's that place called and what are the prices like? Been meaning to check it out.
re: Shattered
i don't know what it's called but it is similarly priced to other all you can eat korean places ~20 per person. It's well worth it. The new place on St Catherine by the Faubourg is also pretty good
re: catroast
Seoul Chako on Ste-Catherine and St-Mathieu is very good, I've been there 3x in the last 3 months. The one on Bishop has slightly lower prices for dinner but look to offer the same kind of food.
re: jay_81k
really what didn't you like? the meats were well seasoned and fresh. the sushi was also surprisingly good. it's kind of hard to go wrong with korean bbq unless the meat is slimy or something - which wasn't the case last friday.
re: catroast
I went this summer so maybe things have changed but they were not well seasoned at all I found, and did not taste like korean at all to me. The sushi was actually better than everything else which is weird considering its a korean bbq restaurant. I had to force myself to finish so they wouldnt charge me extra for leaving things behind. Maybe ill give it another try someday..
re: jay_81k
Their sushi is suprisingly good, much better than Odaki lol. My favorite meats are beef, ribs, shrimp and special beef served in the weekends (with Montreal steak spice on top!).
re: SnackHappy
Open every night until 10 pm, except Sundays when they're closed.
re: chilipepper
Thank you
re: JohnnyGe
$20 for one lunch . Thats a pretty high end lunch.
re: JohnnyGe
That's gotta be for two? (2 soups, shared gyoza)
Edit: Looked at menu: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
I stand corrected. Those are some pretty pricey soups (up to $15 on the next page). Heck, that's pretty pricey anything Asian, or anything lunch.
re: Shattered
Went yesterday with my girlfriend, we both got the basic ramen (12$) came with one piece of cha-su in the kome miso broth. First impression I thought that it was the best ramen Ive had in the city. The cha-su was really nice, the noodles were good and had bite to them. My girlfriend found it to be salty overall. When the bill came though I realized how not worth it was(32$ with tax and tip no drink)I would not return just based on horrible value. Oh and no lunch specials on top of it. This place will not do well with those prices in an area full of students. It was completely empty when we were there at 1:45pm. They need to make some price adjustments fast or I dont see them surviving much longer.
re: jay_81k
Pretty much, not when you can have 2 huge bowls of pho with complimentary tea for $20 and that includes a generous $4 tip.
re: Shattered
exactly! I was going to say the same thing but thought someone would bitch at me since they are two different soups. But IMO a good pho beats a good ramen any day.
re: jay_81k
there are also a number of other faily good ramen noodle places in the area.
there is only one good pho restaurant though
re: Shattered
"pricey for anything Asian?"
Love how people on this board just lump all Asian cuisine together... and assume it should all be dirt cheap.
Guys you'll be paying more for ANYTHING even resembling authentic Japanese.. food, toys, clothing... paper... anything.
and furthermore PHO is not RAMEN. don't know about you guys but when I'm craving ramen.. pho is just not gonna cut it. and the opposite is true as well.
two completely different soups from two completely different cultures with two completely different socioeconomicpolitical situations. I just don't see how the two can be discussed like they are somehow interchangeable.
re: j_do
Sorry I offended you, and you're right, alot of Japanese is an obvious exception on price-wise.
Fyi, I sometimes think to myself: 'Schwartz or Romados? I wanna spend under $10, so Romados it is.' Completely different food, completely different cultures, yet interchangeable in my eyes as far as being comfort food that fills my belly.
We went last week, and we were quite happy with our experience. I havent had ramen a lot (only another time at Imadake) so I cant compare to what it should be tasting, but I found it quite tasty and better than what we had at Imadake. We made the mistake of ordering gyozas and chicken karaage, which were both delicious but a mistake in term of quantity of food! 2 soups + 2 appetizers = 2 painfully stuffed campers. In terms of price I agree with other posters that it was a bit more expensive than I would have expected, but considering that just the bowl of soup would have been enough to make us content and the quality of the food, I wasnt to put off. All in all would go back there.
I went and it is the real real real thing. The Gyoza is totally homemade. I never think that real ramen come to this city because Montreal has great food but not many Japanese people. Lucky!!!! The first real Ramen shop lets hope it starts a trend. Ramen is a happening thing. I tried everyone in the city and none are good. Ramen has 2 types. One miso and the other shoyu (soya) this one Miso base. This is direct from Japan. Fantastic! No beer! Too bad.
I second the motion!
My Kome bowl with added seaweed and egg was pricey but ohhhhh, so worth it. My egg was runny too.
Three fatty, tasty grilled pork slices. Porky salty-in-a-good-way broth. Chewy thick noodles. Want to go back for more soon!
I tried this place yesterday with two friends and was pretty disappointed.
The bill was $18 including tax and tip for one bowl of ramen with veggies. No protein - not even tofu - included. True, I did ask them to leave out the single piece of pork that would have come with it, but they didn't offer me any substitution and I didn't think to ask. The main flavour in the soup was salt.
The waitress was clueless when answering our most basic questions, such as "what's in the #2 soup." Even the water tasted funny.
I left hungry and felt a bit ripped off, which doesn't happen to me often.
Sadly, my friends' reactions were the same.
I went last night with my husband and son and we loved our meal. I am so frustrated by the lack of understanding of ramen in North America and it makes me kind of sad. Because I think that people judge ramen based on their preconceptions of what it should be rather than what it is.
In a very oversimplified nutshell, In Japan ramen comes in 3 types (Shio or salt, shoyu or soy and finally miso) then there are variations on that theme based on region and preference. I personally don't like Shio ramen, ill eat it because I love ramen but its not my choice but I wouldn't judge a restaurant based on the fact that I didn't like the type of broth.
To lump all Asian soups together together is completely missing the point. And to base the quality of food based on the price drives me mad does anyone really think they are eating good Italian food when they go to Olive Garden?
If you want to gorge yourself for $8 you are right this is not the place for you. But if you want an excellent bowl of miso ramen (yes it's going to be salty that's the predominant taste in miso) this is the place and $20 for dinner is not outrageous. You would think it was a great deal if you we're eating Italian or French. Asian doesn't equal cheap, it shouldn't especially Japanese where each ingredient should stand on its own and be capable of that. In Japan there are ramen shops in train stations that are incredibly cheap and expensive ramen shops and then everything in between. In a perfect world we would have that as well so one could choose but until then I choose miso soya ramen!
Now for my actual review after my rant, we ordered everything on the menu with the exception of Kome ramen since I don't love Kome and prefer the milder shiro. The Goya were fantastic obviously house made and perfectly done. The kara age was very good and not greasy at all. My husband loved the cha han which was good but fried rice leaves me a bit cold no matter how good it is. The quality of everything was excellent, the cabbage accompanying the Kara age crispy and fresh, rather noodles were perfectly al dente and the tofu (add on) was perfectly fried. The soup itself comes with one huge piece of pork (the only thing I didn't love since it was roasted and chewy and hard to manage with chopsticks) veggies and tofu. I added tofu and another piece of pork since I split the bowl with my 4-yr old who eats the hell out of ramen and we were both stuffed. You have the option of adding an egg, etc. and I liken this to pizza toppings --ramen is not one size fits all--and I am glad to pay more for a topping or extra topping that I desire just as I do when I order a pie.
The tea was good (no its not free, get over yourselves good green tea is expensive otherwise you are drinking dirty bath water) and they have Japanese soda always a treat for my son. I miss the beer and I'm not sure if they are byob but I hope they'll get their license soon. The service was lovely and very attentive. And they were even sweet about having a 4-yr-old eating noodles with his fingers not the most pleasant visual.
We will be back, it's the perfect meal on a cold winters night and parking was super easy always a plus!
re: schmutzyapple
The critique ws 20 dollars for lunch is expensive. It isn't expensive for supper.
re: williej
it's a casual restaurant across from a university. it's not unreasonable to expect better value for what amounts to a bowl of soup.
re: catroast
If it is the same "product" at lunch and at dinner, it should be the same price.
If the lunch is smaller or with less ingredients, it should be cheaper.
re: catroast
I've been there 4 times now and am 100% comfortable paying the price charged. Speaking with the server, I was thrilled to hear that they MAKE their own miso (in California for their N.A. locations) and source the other ingredients locally. There's an obvious level of care and execution that goes into everything, and aside from the tap water and seating, not much I would improve. To put it another way, many people here would be comfortable paying $15 for what amounts to a plate of pasta and $60 for what amounts to a bottle of old grape juice ;)
re: wokhei
You want to pay a premium price for a premium quality product. This is as unique as Kazu is, for now.
Even in NYC where they have competition from all sorts of ramen variation (Shio, Miso, Shoyu and Tonkotsu broths) they manage to have the same prices and be packed every night.
re: marblebag
Yeah, but Montreal isn't Manhattan. Why are they charging Manhattan prices in Montreal?
re: SnackHappy
Who knows. Maybe the food is costing them more. Manhattan rent is probably through the roof, but price of food in the US can sometimes be significantly lower. Wages might also be lower over there (minimum is lower, but that might not mean their employees are paid at that rate). Since they apparently get some stuff from California, there could be import tax, plus general revenue tax could also be higher in Quebec.
re: SnackHappy
Plus Rue Bishop is not the high end area of the city. It's mostly students from Concordia who will go there for lunch.
PS If it is a franchise, then the owner must pay back all the ridiculous franchise fees, too.
re: SnackHappy
Went there last night. Yes, it's more expensive than most soup, and could get out of hand if you start piling on extras.
But I think it's reasonable value given the quality. If you can find me another bowl of soup with comparable quality of broth, meat, tofu, noodles, etc. I'll gladly pay $12+ for it.
I suspect this is more about quality and ingredient cost than about gouging by charging Manhattan or Tokyo prices in Montreal.
As for the whole "student district" factor, I'm not seeing the problem. For one thing, it's possible to eat there fairly cheap if you don't go all-out with toppings, sides, etc. For another, all kinds of people can be found in that area. It's not like it's in a cafeteria at Loyola or something.
re: Mr F
not to beat a dead horse, and I have eaten there twice, there are a bunch of places with great broth and noodles that don't charge $20 for a bowl of soup with some meat in it. broth, noodles, tofu are cheap peasant foods; other restaurants have figured out how to use them well for a reasonable price. the student district factor does make a difference because the restaurants on that block of bishop and on mackay are perpetually empty except for some key times. there's a reason why that spot has turned hands so many times.
re: catroast
The basic soup is around $12. Yup, it's way more than pho or most Chinese soups, but if you can recommend something comparable for less, have at it. Personally I can't remember having meat of that quality in cheap eats recently, but maybe I just don't get out enough.
And considering the other options nearby, if I worked around there I'd be a regular, price be damned. I hadn't been in that area in a while, but I can guarantee I might frequent Burritoville or try the Korean place, but I'd never touch the poutinerie, rotisserie or AYCE sushi.
As it stands Misoya won't become a regular haunt, just because it isn't especially convenient, but it'll be on my list of mid-range casual places for movie nights, MMFA visits, etc.
My take is that most of the angst over the pricing comes from a disconnect between the quality of the food and the cheap fast food trappings. If this were a street level place on a nicer street, with better furniture and real chopsticks, I doubt we'd be having this discussion.
re: Shattered
I'm tall but didn't find it especially uncomfortable. Just rather basic. And the chairs that look like they came from a Belle Province franchise's bankruptcy auction were not uncomfortable, just incongruous.
Anyway, obviously to some of us the value is poor, to others it's reasonable. I doubt anyone considers it a bargain, but in any case the only way to settle this debate will be to watch and see if it thrives or fails. My guess is there are enough affordable items and positive buzz that it will do ok.
Btw, I didn't notice anything amiss with the water last night, so it it was a problem it may have been settled already.
re: catroast
Where are your bunches of places that has great broth and noodles? We have already beaten to death the soup comparison.
I went last night at 8:40 for takeout which I assumed would take about ten minutes but my food wasn't ready until 9:15 which I found quite unreasonable (to be fair I think the waitress did too and she apologised). I had the shiromiso with three pieces of pork and egg and corn and the dumpling app. The dumplings might be great to share but do not order them if you go alone or with one other person, they are horribly greasy and will likely make you feel ill (aside from the overwhelming amount of grease they were delicious). The broth was far too salty and I don't understand why people like it so much, it didn't seem pleasant to me at all....and the three people sitting next to me while I waited didn't eat theirs either. On the other hand, all the ingredients in the soup were absolutely fantastic (the egg was the highlight as it was cooked exceptionally well and still a bit gooey/runny, the pork was very flavourful and delicious), The price of 24.50 (not including tip but including taxes) was ridiculous. I got the impression that most people feel ripped off when they leave. I might go back one day at lunch for the special. The restaurant really needs to fix the water situation- it is absolutely disgusting. It tastes extremely metallic, and when you serve salty food people need to drink ... they really need to give people bottled water or get a water purifier (it isn't like going to the country where the water tastes different .. it actually tastes horrible here).
re: kpaxonite
dude they import that water from fukoshima. you just don't understand japanese water. japan is a big country with many sources of water.
re: catroast
Bwahahaha good one!
Re. salt level: Are you saying this makes pho broth seem like spring water by comparison?
I love pho but I need a liter or more of water the rest of the evening after eating it.
re: kpaxonite
Went today. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the water. Broth was perfect, lots of flavours, but not too salty.
re: kpaxonite
Miso broth is the most salty of all types of ramen broths. When Kazu first served ramen, he offered both miso and shoyu broths and the public voted for shoyu so he dropped the miso broth.
I was surprised while eating the kome miso the first time but next time I will get more vegetable add-ons instead of going for the 3 slices of pork.
Shiro miso was lighter in comparison and I had no problem slurping down the broth from the bowl.
I've (accidentally) been to this place in both Montreal and NYC in the past two weeks, and the quality and price was entirely comparable. If I had to pick a difference, I'd say the broth was slightly more viscous in NYC (in a good way), but the pork in Montreal was more tender.
As for the higher prices, I agree, but I think the Manhattan rent argument is unfounded. I had another bowl of ramen just a block over from Misoya in NYC that cost me less than half as much, but I'd say the bowl was 1/3rd smaller and 50% less delicious. NYC can also be insanely cheap ($9 for a pint of asahi + ramen), but just like here you often get what you pay for.
re: Fintastic
I revisited Misoya last night. It's early days yet, but the "too expensive for the area" argument does not appear to be true so far. At around 7:00, Misoya had maybe 3 or 4 vacant seats.
Other places nearby looked dead by comparison (though I didn't look closely at all of them). On the way to the metro I noticed that the cheap noodle joint on the south side of De Maisonneuve had precisely zero customers.
I haven't been to that place in about 10 years, but if it's the same quality as ever it's pretty bad, but much cheaper than Misoya. If price is decisive in a supposed "student area", shouldn't it have been hopping?
As for the food at Misoya, it's still not cheap and it's still good. Naysayers and penny-pinchers should just stay away, because they might have to complain about waiting for a seat in addition to grumbling about the price.
re: Fintastic
I haven't had much other ramen in Montreal, but I agree that Misoya is worth its relatively steep price. Just pointing out that the location does not (yet) appear to be all wrong for this place, as some posters argued upthread.

A transpeptidase activity in Escherichia coli was measured independently of other enzymes involved in peptidoglycan synthesis by quantitating the formation of UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-y-d-glutamyl-(l)-meso-diaminopimelyl-(l)-d-alanyl-[14C]glycine when UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-y-d-glutamyl-(l)-meso-diaminopimelyl-(l-d-alanyl-d-alanine was used as donor substrate and [14C]glycine as acceptor in a transfer reaction. After extraction of membrane envelopes with Brij-36T and subsequent ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography revealed two major fractions; one not adsorbed to the ion-exchange resin and the other adsorbed. The fraction which was bound to DEAE-cellulose was bound to and could be eluted from an ampicillin affinity chromatography system while the fraction not bound to DEAE-cellulose was also not bound to the ampicillin column. Both unbound and bound ampicillin fractions exhibited dd-carboxypeptidase and transpeptidase activities although for equivalent dd-carboxypeptidase activity, the bound ampicillin fraction required about five times more glycine acceptor to achieve the same amount of transpeptidation as the unbound ampicillin fraction.

How can Jewish communities do more to provide support when those who are in need don't know they can ask, don't know how to ask or feel ashamed to ask?
A mother who wants her infant to hear the shofar during services worries what to do if the baby screams — should she leave even though she has an obligation to hear the shofar so as not to disrupt anyone else's experience?
Where should divorced parents stand at their childrens' wedding ceremonies? Together at the sides? Holding the poles? Interspersed with the wedding party? A groom debates the options.
A reader asks Miriam for ideas on how to acknowledge the High Holidays while traveling abroad.

I am a co-founder of Minyan Tikvah (a lay-led prayer group in Center City Philadelphia that meets once a month for traditional egalitarian Shabbat services), a founder of a former matchmaking service for Jewish graduate students, a children's book reviewer, a former elementary school teacher, a pretty decent cook and a mom to two beautiful children.
I spent years as the director of Hillel of Greater Philadelphia's Jewish Graduate Student Network before resigning to spend more time with my family. My husband, Marc, likes to say that I knew more people within a week of moving to Philadelphia than he knew after six years here.

Boys on Tour To Advertise

Three Youths Will Visit Mayor Today
—Expect To Go To Atlantic City.
Three boys who are advertising their city—Petersburg, Va.—arrived in Baltimore yesterday. They are making their tour on bicycles and have visited Bowling Green, Fredericksburg, and Alexandria, Va., and Washington. They plan to complete the trip August 20, when they expect to arrive at Atlantic City.
Today the boys—Stuart A. Shortt, Elliott A. Smith and John W. Ayers—will visit Mayor Jackson and A.S. Goldsborough, executive secretary of the Baltimore Association of Commerce. They are carrying pamphlets explanatory of Petersburg's growth as an industrial city.
Their visit to Baltimore will be lengthened in order that Shortt may receive treatment from Dr. William S. Baer for an injured leg.

source for verjus in SF?
- m
- mbharrin Feb 3, 2005 09:51 PM
Does anyone know where I can buy verjus in SF or closeby? I searched the archives, but couldn't find anything.
re: Joan Kureczka
Also, if you order it from the winery via Ground shipment, it'll arrive in the bay area the following day.
re: Joan Kureczka
Thanks for the tip. I just gave them a call. They sell it for $20, and it's usually only $8.50 according to Navarro's website!
I called up Navarro. they only 2 stores they know of in the area which stock their verjus are the Mill Valley Market and the North Berkeley Wine Store (on MLK). the Navarro winery itself is out of verjus, so they're unable to fulfill any orders right now. my best bet might be Boulette's after all.
re: mbharrin
The bottle of Navarro verjus doesn't cost much, but I remember the shipping charge being high when I ordered from them about five years ago. It's so well packed to avoid breakage, obviously. At the time I hadn't tried verjus before and didn't want to risk ordering more than one bottle, but if I had known how good it is I would have ordered more to make shipping worthwhile. Next I tried Consorzio or maybe Fusion and it was awful. So much for easy availability. Between retail markup and Ferry Bldg. location and most prices a little higher there anyway, Boulette's price for Navarro verjus might not be that bad. Did you catch how much shipping was from Navarro's? I'd order it again if I needed some.
re: Iguana
Navarro's shipping is $9 for 1 to 3 750ml bottles, $10 for 4 to 6, $14 for 7 to 12. So if you order one $9.75 bottle, it's $18.75 delivered; if you order 12, after the 10% case discount it's $9.94 per bottle.
But they're currently sold out of verjus.
I saw it the other day at the pasta shop in oakland. it was the company Verjus i think....the Navarro is amazing but I wouldn't want to cook just anything in it, it's deelish enough to drink.
Robert Mondavi Jr. started a company a few years back making Verjus under the "Fusion Foods" brand. I believe that's the one the Shuna is talking about. It was intended for cooking as an alternative to vinegars when very strong acidity was not needed.
re: Curtis
That's the stuff I tried recently. Nasty-tasting, used it in one dish, which it halfway ruined, poured out the rest.
Navarro's verjus, on the other hand, is great stuff.
re: Curtis
Rob Mondavi had nothing to do with Fusion Verjus. I started the company and own it!
It is available in the Bay area from Pacific Gourmet 415.641.8400
Farmstead Cheese shop at the Market Place in Alameda carries Verjus. Haven't tried it but most everything he carries is outstanding.
I just bought some here in LA at a terrific chef's supply store called Surfas. They sell on-line and ship. The verjus comes in white and red and is from Australia. Now, the question is -- what do I do with it? I bought it to assist in preparing a fruit reduction for foie gras but am wondering about other uses. So far, I have to say, other than the frisson of saying "verjus" I don't find it that exciting so far.
re: Fidelixi
Since that's not a local question you should probably ask on the Home Cooking board.
Here's what I found:
Bryan's Market on California Street: "Verjus from Perigord". about $15 for 750ml.
Draeger's San Mateo: Maggie Brew (Australia). about $12 for 375ml. has a synthetic cork which doesn't easily fit back on the bottle after opening it.
Draeger's San Mateo: Eric Bur (France). about $13 for 350ml.
all 3 had very similar tastes, but if pressed to choose a favorite i'd have to go with the Eric Bur. i'll likely stick with the offering from Bryan's since it's easy for me to get, and economical.
i was looking into this as an alternative to wine or vermouth for deglazing, but unfortunately i haven't been able to match the results with verjus.
re: mbharrin
Verjus is more a substitute for vinegar or lemon juice.
re: mbharrin
Some flavors are alcohol soluable. That's why there is no real sustitute for wine/vermouth in deglazing

Round-up: EE's 4G phones and prices
Summary: T-Mobile and Orange's parent EE has now revealed tariffs for its 4G network in the UK. Here's a look at the operator's line-up of 4G phones, how they compare and what it will cost you to get one.
8 of 8Image
Nokia Lumia 820
The Nokia Lumia 820 is also not yet released, but again is expected to come out after the launch of Windows Phone 8 on 29 October, probably alongside the switch-on for EE's 4G network on 30 October.
As a guide to its probable price, the Lumia 820 is expected to be £395 SIM-free.
The Lumia 820 is almost exactly the same as the flagship 920 device, except for a smaller display (4.3-inches compared to 4.5 inches) and a slightly smaller battery.
Image: Ben Woods
LG Optimus True HD P936
EE is also offering plans for people who don't need to buy a phone along with service. These contracts, which come with unlimited minutes and texts, have tariffs based on the amount of bundled data.
For 500MB, the cost is £21 a month, while 1GB is £26, 3GB is £31 and 5GB is £36. No 8GB is listed for SIM-free plans.
A handful of 4G-ready phones are available in the UK, such as the LG Optimus True HD P936 shown here. However, any smartphone needs to be compatible with EE's 4G network.
"By compatible, we mean it's a 4G phone that you've bought either directly from Orange or T-Mobile. Or on those networks through an indirect retailer," EE says on its website.
This caveat doesn't apply to the iPhone 5, if bought from Apple, Carphone Warehouse or Phones4U.
EE is also trying to woo existing T-Mobile or Orange customers to its 4G services. If they recently bought a non-4G versions of the handsets, the operator will let them swap it via a £99 upgrade.

Special Teams High Quality Chances, 2010-11
Slava Duris
August 14 2011 07:57PM
A little while back, we took a look at the frequency of High Quality Scoring Chances (aka A-chances) for and against that the Leafs produced while each individual player was on the ice. In this post, we'll finally get around to checking out the number of high percentage shots for and against for each player on the Power-Play (5v4 and 4v3) and the Penalty Kill (4v5 and 3v4).

It's been a while now that PPP and Chemmy have been writing here at The Leafs Nation, but it's also been readily apparent that they've been lonely without their usual, er, companions. Tired of playing "Palmela Handerson" with each other, they have decided to start recruiting others to do their dirty work, and what better place to look than with the easiest "yes"s they could find? First there was Skinnyfish, and now I have joined on, as the latest "PPP girlfriend" to start writing over here as well. Internet polygamy strikes again!
Lombardi Will Participate in Training Camp
August 12 2011 10:40AM
Jeff Marek posted the following on his excellent new blog "The Sheet":
Good news for the Toronto Maple Leafs as Matthew Lombardi will attend training camp. Can't imagine they'd let him jump right back in after missing pretty well all of last season with a concussion but I'd think it'll be 'kid gloves' with Lombardi for a period of time. If he's healthy and no longer feeling the effects of his concussion, Phil Kessel may finally have a playmaking centre who can keep up with his speed.
Lombardi was thought to be the reason the Lebda for Franson swap happened. The theory was that Lombardi would spend the whole year on IR and with two years left on his deal and with no insurance on his contract the Predators wanted to move his salary.
I disagree about Lombardi being a first line pivot for Kessel, Tim Connolly will start the year in that role, but Lombardi gives the Leafs flexibility and dare I say depth at center. Between Grabovski, Connolly and Lombardi the Leafs have some decent options down the middle. Lombardi is fast and can play a checking role as needed but his real strength might be...

There was no question that Clark had the skills to play in the NHL. What was a matter of some contention was which position he should play and who his linemates should be.

In Part I of this series, I explored whether Keith Aulie was better in his second call-up versus his first time up in the big leagues. The conclusion turned out to be symmetric with the hypothesis: Aulie played much better on both sides of the puck with Phaneuf in the second half of the season, his successes in offensive situations balancing out his defensive misgivings.

Yesterday evening, members of the National Champion Kentucky Wildcats decided to host a press conference to announce they'd be taking their talents to the NBA next year, with freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague, sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb and senior Darius Miller all declaring for the draft.
We haven't seen anything this extreme with one team importing talent into the NBA since…2010. Yep. The great John Calipari had a similar class just 24 months prior with five players drafted in the first round. Four freshmen — John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton — and junior forward, Patrick Patterson.
Cal's 2010 class is a mixed bag of results thus far. With talent popping out of the pores of young guns like Wall and Cousins and promise yet to be fulfilled from Bledsoe and Orton, I can honestly say that I have no clue how good this group will be in a few years. Can Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist eclipse their older alumni brothers?
One simple question. Which class will be better in the NBA? 2010 or 2012? Let us know as you read through your Starting Lineups reading material this morning.
