The idea is to expand use beyond the traditional burritos, tacos and salads, O'Connor said.
"The avocado is definitely being seen as a healthy, fun, trendy food, and we want restaurants to understand the opportunity by using avocados as an up-charge item," he said.
Chefs are looking for new uses for avocados because diners are asking for creative ideas, said Mary Ostlund, marketing director for Brooks Tropicals LLC in Homestead, Fla.
"North Americans are obsessed with finding new flavors and tastes," Ostlund said.
Sometimes the idea is simple, such as putting a slice of avocado on a burger, said Dan Acevedo, business development director with West Pak Inc. in Murietta, Calif.
"They continue to be a component in several dishes, whether it's a salad or a main entrée," he said. "Subway has done a great job promoting menu items that feature avocados."
Any promotion is good for the entire industry, said Ross Wileman, vice president of sales and marketing with Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc.
"I'm not sure we'll ever reach the white-tablecloth level, though," he said. "Fast-casual is the category it seems to do well in."

I need a huge climber needed to smother whatever that overgrown satellite-dish-looking-thing is in the side yard. Preferably, something I can get in the ground and well established by the end of May, because I will be absent from it all of June and probably most of July. I think I can get someone to water it, but I don't know what more. Its at some distance from the house so something colorful will be best. I'm guessing I'll need it to be at least 15 feet high. The seeds will probably come from Pinetree Seeds, (unless I go with morning glories)so I'm limiting myself to their selections.
Ignore my gardening zone. I moved to West Virginia at the end of last summer, and don't think I haven't updated since then. Actually, I haven't figured out my zone yet, but I'm in Preston County. I'm either 6 or 7. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I'm new to gardening, but here's my two cents: I did some research on climbing vines because I wanted to see something pretty covering my fence, but didn't want the destructiveness of say, english ivy. After much consideration, I decided upon Morning Glory and Moonflower. Both entwine rather than damage, but both reseed agressively. If you aren't worried about reseeding, then I would try those. They really are beautiful, but you would have to keep them in check. Also, Sweet Pea might be a good candidate, but I think they are vigorous reseeders as well. I looked at Nicotania (sp) as well. I think they are perennial though. Might take some time to establish. Not positive on this, however, because I stopped looking after the MG's and Moonflower. Im sure the experts here would have more info for you, but I figured I should share what I have learned to sort of...give back, as it were. Steff :) |

you're going to want something that can withstand a lot of snow, as i'm sure you're learning. hmmm. what about trumpet vine? i hear that takes off like mad and is impossible to kill but i don't think wv has banned it. or honeysuckle? are you wanting an annual or perennial? check on the seed exchange and plant exchange forum before you buy seeds-- you might be able to find multiple things, or get cuttings, which would be faster, for trades or sometimes sasbe. in my experience, moonvine is slow to flower. |
I've grown a variety of annual vines. Moonflower vine grows the biggest and strongest for me. It doesn't flower for me until late summer. But it can get big, almost forming a trunk. I haven't experienced reseeding in Zone 6. I also like hyacinth bean vine, and scarlet runner beans. |
Thank you all for replying. Steff: and a very bright and shiny two cents they are. I have grown Moonflowers and several varieties of Morning glories and loved them, and that is probably what I will go with, but I wanted to ask here about some of the other options. Mainly, I want something vigorous enough to climb to the top of the hideous thing. I am growing Sweet peas this year, but I wasn't sure if they would be tall enough. |
A couple of things to consider -sweet peas like cool weather. If you're growing this for summer, consider what your weather might be like - some viney plants need help to climb. They require a little human intervention to feed them up a trellis or strings. If you're leaving for the summer, you want something with good tendrils that will do the climbing itself. Karen |
I've had Scarlet Runner Beans climb twine from a trellis to the 2nd floor window! The neighbors called it the magic beanstalk! |

April Brown, of Gary, directs big hearted helpers at The Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus in Merrillville and Northlake Campus in Gary.
Brown is coordinator for volunteer services, responsible for recruiting, training and retaining volunteers ranging from 16 to 90-plus years of age. "Any volunteer that comes in the doors starts here," she said.
Brown interviews, screens and places volunteers based on skills, abilities and areas of interest. Volunteers receive the same training as hospital employees -- safety compliance, policy and procedure, regulations, model of care and conduct -- and they receive a tour of the facility.
Volunteer opportunities range from working the front desk and greeting guests to helping patients, delivering to patient rooms and transporting patients.
"There is a plethora of things they can do based on their skills set," she added.
"After being at Methodist for 25 years, I can say it's a great place to work. One reason it's a good place to work is the individuals I work with on a daily basis. We are a family," she said.
"The people here are committed to the community and providing quality care. I like to see patients get the best care possible and the people that work at the hospital do, too," Brown said.
Being active in the community is also important to Brown. She is a mentor for the John Will Anderson Boys & Girls Club in Gary, involved with the Lake County Minority Coalition and very active at her church, Logan Park Assembly of Christ in Gary.

He wouldn't really be an Edmonton Oilers prospect if "purely precautionary" shoulder exam wasn't part of the December itinerary.
But, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins's developmental curve hasn't exactly been a smooth line since being picked first overall last season. He likely would have won the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year had he not had to shut himself down for 20 games last season thanks to a couple of shoulder injuries.
And now he'll probably play in the World Juniors as a 19-year old, the first Canadian *skater* chosen first overall to do so since Alexandre Daigle in 1994, who also got to get time off from his National Hockey League squad due to a lockout. Few players his calibre ever have to suffer a season at the AHL-level, but the option was available for him to play against pro-calibre players instead of junior-level ones like Daigle had to back in 1994 before the lockout resolved itself.
The next wrinkle in development will be an appearance at the 2012 World Juniors in Ufa, Russia. Nugent-Hopkins didn't get the chance to go last season thanks to his NHL-commitments, and while Team Canada is usually pretty good about sending at least one underage player to the tournament—Taylor Hall, John Tavares, Steven Stamkos—in Nugent-Hopkins' year, Canada sent Sean Couturier to Buffalo and Nugent-Hopkins stayed in Red Deer.
If his shoulder checks out, he'll more than certainly get a spot on Canada's roster that's lacking in elite forward depth, particularly out West. (The selection camp roster will be named about 30 minutes after this post is published, but only a couple of forwards from Western Canada are expected to make the team. That's a defenceman-heavy league, and Canada's biggest strength is on its back end. Even if the lockout weren't going on, Canada would have a lot of talent to draw from at that position, and after the Subway Super Series, head coach Steve Spott suggested there were 15 guys in the mix, all legitimate NHL prospects.)
Hockey Prospectus prospect guru Corey Pronman has been of the belief that Nugent-Hopkins, as an NHLer, doesn't get any development gain in the World Juniors as a result of unloading five points a game, as part of a line that will probably drop ten on Team Slovakia in their second game.
Not saying RNH going to WJC is a bad idea, I just dont see a potential development gain. Hes a quality NHLer, thats not his place to learn.
— Corey Pronman (@coreypronman) November 23, 2012
Another smart person, Bruce McCurdy out of Edmonton, has argued that Nugent-Hopkins should not play in the tournament not because of the competition he'd face, but that it's more beneficial to the Oilers to have him play continuously as a member of the "big four" with the Barons:
I'm not sure one can make quite the same claim in the case of RNH. In Oklahoma City he is a key member of a core cluster of talent, a group which is growing together even as this damned lockout stretches on until the thirteenth of Forever. It's a rare opportunity that has been afforded him and his mates. From the perspective of the Oilers organization it very well might make more sense that the Nuge work on chemistry with Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall than, say, Jonathan Huberdeau and Ty Rattie; or with Justin Schultz than Morgan Rielly.
My core philosophy on that score remains "Grow the Cluster", keeping the the key pieces in place and playing together as much as possible. That viewpoint remains valid in the current instance, given the unique situation of having at least four cluster members in OKC right now. However, a key distinction is it's just for a month, not the entire rest of the season as was the decision after his ninth game last October. And a Team Canada gig is not so much a demotion as being seconded for the greater good. Given that one of my other core philosophies is "Go Canada!", I'm torn.
That last line really does resonate, and I think in the interest of Canada, who have gone three years without a gold medal at the annual tournament, several people are turning a blind eye to what the break up in routine would do for Nugent-Hopkins' development.
Is there any benefit to Nugent-Hopkins from a growth perspective? Probably not. He'll play against much worse competition, not too many people who suit up for this tournament are pro players. While he says he'd like to play in the tournament and got the blessing from the Oilers' organization, it's almost a guarantee that if the Oilers didn't allow him to go over to Russia if they were worried about his shoulder, or wanted him to continue with Oklahoma City, he would have said "I'm just happy to be where I am, obviously, I'll follow the boys and I'll be cheering for them, but I'm pleased to have the opportunity to play where I am in Oklahoma City and my focus has always been here."
Still, it's only a couple of weeks, and the break-up will be beneficial to Oilers' fans, who will get to see one of their future stars playing in high-definition rather than on the crappy AHL video feed that's been getting some very bad reviews. Another Edmonton smart dude in Jonathan Willis has latched onto the "Go Canada" mantra, but also relishes the chance to watch Nugent-Hopkins dominate against players who aren't pro-ready just yet:
It's a nice gesture of reciprocity, given that Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle and Hall are all playing in Oklahoma instead of Zurich (or similar). It's also a nod to those fans who haven't been watching the kids play via the AHL's miserable video feed. Finally: I don't buy arguments either way that this is going to have a big impact on Nugent-Hopkins' development. I seriously doubt he's going to "learn to win" by beating the pants off a bunch of 17-year old Slovakians on a stacked Canadian team. He's also not going to be damaged by skipping out on AHL hockey for a few weeks. What he is going to do is get a chance to play in a starring role for Canada in one of the most exciting tournaments in hockey, and it is his very last chance to do so. It will be fun for him to play, fun for the rest of us to watch, and that's reason enough for it to be a good decision.
This is all assuming the shoulder checks in at 100%. Frankly, I don't know why the Oilers would risk general wear-and-tear on a bum shoulder throughout the first two months of this season when there's no NHL hockey. The only concern about Nugent-Hopkins' rookie season I had was his health, and you just know that if he goes to play for Team Lunchbucket in Ufa he'll be expected to throw his small-even-for-junior frame at some 6'10″ German guy who probably has his skates on the wrong feet.

Democrat in LA Dist. Attny Race Gets Porn Star Endorsement
Well, what could be better than getting the endorsement of a porn star if you are running for District Attorney? Nothing says "law enforcement" like getting the slut industry behind you like Democrat Los Angeles DA candidate Jackie Lacey has!
I wrote about Lacey last week when I found out she had abused her position as an officer of the courts in order to get out from under accepting the consequences of a car accident that she and her husband caused, but this new turn to her campaign for the DA's office is a pip.
Lacey's opponent Alan Jackson recently criticized Lacey for having had a fundraiser with former porn star, Kira Reed Lorsch. And there is no question about the truth of this claim, either. Kira Lorsch's husband even mentioned they hosted a Lacey fundraiser in an October 21 Facebook posting on his own page.
Kira Reed Lorsch is "famous" for such "work" as Naked Happy Girls and Sexcetera, not to mention such scintillating fare as the Mistress Club, American Virgin, and Carnal Fate.
One has to wonder what Jackie Lacey's opinion of the porn industry is? Does she fully support it? Is this the sort of role model that we want upholding the law?
So, Lacey has no problem using her position for personal gain and now her campaign is bankrolled by a porn star. There's the kind of role model we want to hold up to our kids, eh?

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When he brought me back to the temple's entrance, I noticed that water was flowing toward the east from under the temple's threshold (the temple faced east). The water was going out from under the temple's facade toward the south, south of the altar. | 1 The man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. |
2 He led me out through the North Gate and around the outside to the outer East Gate, where the water flowed out under the facade on the south side. | 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was flowing from the south side. |
3 With the line in his hand, the man went out toward the east. When he measured off fifteen hundred feet, he made me cross the water; it was ankle-deep. | 3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. |
4 He measured off another fifteen hundred feet and made me cross the water; it was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet and made me cross the water, and it was waist-high. | 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. |
5 When he measured off another fifteen hundred feet, it had become a river that I couldn't cross. The water was high, deep enough for swimming but too high to cross. | 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in--a river that no one could cross. |
6 He said to me, "Human one, do you see?" Then he led me back to the edge of the river. | 6 He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?" Then he led me back to the bank of the river. |
7 When I went back, I saw very many trees on both banks of the river. | 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. |
8 He said to me, "These waters go out to the eastern region, flow down the steep slopes, and go into the Dead Sea. When the flowing waters enter the sea, its water becomes fresh. | 8 He said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. |
9 Wherever the river flows, every living thing that moves will thrive. There will be great schools of fish, because when these waters enter the sea, it will be fresh. Wherever the river flows, everything will live. | 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. |
10 People will stand fishing beside it, from En-gedi to En-eglayim, and it will become a place for spreading nets. It will be like the Mediterranean Sea, having all kinds of fish in it. | 10 Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds--like the fish of the Great Sea. |
11 Its marshes and swamps won't be made fresh (they are left for salt), | 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. |
12 but on both banks of the river will grow up all kinds of fruit-bearing trees. Their leaves won't wither, and their fruitfulness won't wane. They will produce fruit in every month, because their water comes from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for eating, their leaves for healing." | 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing." |
13 The LORD God proclaims: These are the boundaries of the portions of land that will be distributed as an inheritance to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph will receive two portions. | 13 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph. |
14 What I swore to give to your ancestors, you will distribute as an inheritance equally. This land is given to you as an inheritance. | 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will become your inheritance. |
15 This is the boundary of the land. The northern limit begins at the Mediterranean Sea and goes in the direction of Hethlon toward Lebo-hamath, Zedad, | 15 "This is to be the boundary of the land: |
16 Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath), and Hazer-hatticon (that is on the boundary of Hauran). | 16 Berothah and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer Hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. |
17 So the boundary from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar-enon will run north of the boundary of Damascus, with the boundary of Hamath to the north. This is the northern limit. | 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the north boundary. |
18 For the eastern limit, you will measure continuously between Hauran and Damascus and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan River as far as the Dead Sea. This is the eastern limit. | 18 "On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the east boundary. |
19 The southern limit runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh and from there along the border of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern limit. | 19 "On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi [of Egypt] to the Great Sea. This will be the south boundary. |
20 For the western limit, the Mediterranean Sea is the boundary up to Lebo-hamath. This is the western limit. | 20 "On the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west boundary. |
21 You will apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. | 21 "You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. |
22 When you distribute the land as an inheritance, the immigrants who reside with you and raise families among you are considered full citizens along with the Israelites. They will receive an inheritance along with you among the tribes of Israel. | 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. |
23 You will assign the immigrants' inheritance with the tribe with whom they reside. This is what the LORD God says. | 23 In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance," declares the Sovereign LORD. |

Massively parallel Monte Carlo for many-particle simulations on GPUs
Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
arXiv:1211.1646 [physics.comp-ph] (7 Nov 2012)

Current trends in parallel processors call for the design of efficient massively parallel algorithms for scientific computing. Parallel algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations of thermodynamic ensembles of particles have received little attention because of the inherent serial nature of the statistical sampling. In this paper, we present a massively parallel method that obeys detailed balance and implement it for a system of hard disks on the GPU. We reproduce results of serial high-precision Monte Carlo runs to verify the method. This is a good test case because the hard disk equation of state over the range where the liquid transforms into the solid is particularly sensitive to small deviations away from the balance conditions. On a GeForce GTX 680, our GPU implementation executes 95 times faster than on a single Intel Xeon E5540 CPU core, enabling 17 times better performance per dollar and cutting energy usage by a factor of 10.

Trim your waistline and shape beautiful legs and thighs in just 12 minutes a day
Toning your body has never been simpler. This 12-minute strength training routine will tone your abs and reshape your lower body in a balanced way, shrinking and defining your tummy, waistline, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Be careful not to challenge yourself beyond your limits or, worse yet, to go through the motions and fail to reach your limits! Try to find the fine line between pushing your body just a little past its comfort zone and pushing it into the discomfort zone.
Do this workout three or four times a week.
Lower-Tummy Firmer (Firms and flattens your lower belly; tones your inner thighs)
I love this ab exercise because it is so effective for both the lower tummy and the inner thighs, working below the belly button.
A. Lie on your back with your arms down near your sides, palms facing down. Grasp the ball between your feet with your legs extended at a 90-degree angle to your torso. You'll really feel it in your inner thighs.
B. Exhale as you curl your lower belly toward your upper belly, lifting the ball up and in. Inhale as you lower. Continue to lift and lower the ball up to 12 times.

Cleveland Middle School students piled onto the gym bleachers in good spirits to celebrate the men and women who have served their country.
A 30-minute presentation was prepared, complete with performances by both the CMS drama and dance clubs. Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland and state Rep. Kevin Brooks were present to say a few words of thanks to the veterans. Students related to the veterans proudly stood by as they waited their turn to enter the gym.
As the bleachers inched toward capacity, the wails of a fire alarm pierced the air. Someone was pulling a prank. However, teachers and staff could not immediately prove there was no threat to students. The bleachers were emptied as the middle schoolers were escorted out of the building.
Everyone returned with 15 minutes to spare before dismissal.
The dance team and drama club remained on the sidelines as only the essentials of the program were kept in place.
Principal Mike Collier chastised the anonymous prankster before greeting the veterans.
"We are going to continue with our program," Collier said. "We are here to recognize these people for their sacrifice, and thank them for their sacrifice."
One student might have made an error in judgment by pulling the alarm, but more than a thousand middle schoolers made it their mission to make the veterans feel appreciated.
Rowland was asked to read off the names of the veterans.
"I am going to call each of your names, and if you just want to hold your hand up when I call your name and branch of service," Rowland said. "Then we are going to give you a very loud round of applause."
The first name was called: "Jack Owens, United States Army."
Loud cheers and whoops left the mouths of students as they thundered their applause.
The mayor paused as he looked at the bleachers, "Never mind waiting, let's just cheer for each one of them then."
Students kept their enthusiasm as high as their cheers for each of the remaining names: James Stokes, Navy; Mark A. Beaty Jr., Air Force; Peggy Goodine, Army; John Dailey, Army; William Casteel, Army; Mansill Parkison, Navy; Oxzavia Ellis, Army; Dion Wilkerson, Army; John Alcock, Navy; Jack King, Army; Alvin R. Howard, Army; Jamie Avery, Army; 1st Sgt. Troy Jones, Army; the Rev. Edward S. Robinson Sr., Army; Lomas Swafford, Army; Raymond Scott, Marines; Terry Robinson Sr., Army; Everett W. Odom, Air Force; Dewey Fox, Air Force; Ralph Jones, Air Force; J.C. Arnold, Marines; and Patricia Powers, Navy.
Collier thanked the students for their behavior before offering his thanks one final time to the veterans in attendance.

Tom Cheek
Tom Cheek | |
Born | June 13, 1939 Pensacola, Florida |
Died | October 9, 2005 Oldsmar, Florida |
(aged 66)
Nationality | American |
Alma mater | Cambridge School of Broadcasting |
Occupation | Toronto Blue Jays radio sportscaster |
Spouse(s) | Shirley Cheek |
Children | 3 |
Thomas F. Cheek (June 13, 1939 – October 9, 2005) was an American sportscaster. Perhaps best known as the "Voice of the Toronto Blue Jays", Cheek announced Major League Baseball games for the Toronto Blue Jays on radio from the team's establishment in 1977 until his retirement in 2004, in which he had a 27-year streak of 4,306 consecutive games plus 41 post-season games called,[1] which lasted from the first ever Blue Jays game on April 7, 1977 to June 3, 2004. Cheek was inducted to the Blue Jays Level of Excellence in 2004.
Cheek's best-known call was perhaps his description of Joe Carter's dramatic title-clinching home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, when he said, "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"[2] He is also author of the book Road to Glory, which chronicled the first 16 years of Blue Jays baseball.
Cheek was selected as the recipient of the 2013 Ford C. Frick Award after being nominated as a finalist for the award every year since 2005.
Early life[edit]
Born and raised in the west side of Pensacola, Florida, Cheek, an avid sports fan, was introduced to his first tape recorder at the age of 14, which would lay the foundations for his future in broadcasting. From 1957 to 1960, he served in the U.S. Air Force where he was introduced to the Yankees broadcaster Red Barber. Following his discharge from the armed forces in 1960, Cheek attended the Cambridge School of Broadcasting in Boston for two years.[3]
Early broadcasting years[edit]
Cheek began his radio broadcasting career in Plattsburgh, New York as a Disc jockey on WEAV in 1962. He then moved to Burlington, Vermont where he worked for WDOT and was quickly promoted to corporate sales manager and sports director. He later moved from music to sports broadcasting when he moved to WJOY where his on-air sports work included baseball, basketball, football, and hockey for the University of Vermont. During this time, in 1968, he was almost hired to be the first broadcaster for the newly formed Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, only to lose out to Skip Caray.[4]
At the same time, the newly formed Montreal Expos were looking for a second announcer to complement their primary play-by-play man, Dave Van Horne. Burlington, being only 99 miles from Montreal, although traditionally a Boston Red Sox town, was warming up to the new expansion team. It was later decided that the Expos would go with a guest announcer format, and this is where Cheek would get his first broadcast experience of Major League Baseball, where he filled in occasionally from 1974 to 1976.[5]
Toronto Blue Jays[edit]
Beginning in 1977, Cheek became the first full-time announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays alongside his first broadcast partner, Early Wynn who remained with him through the end of 1980. Wynn was replaced by Jerry Howarth in 1981. For the next 23 years, "Tom and Jerry" would be the radio voices of the Blue Jays. Their partnership covered the rise of the Blue Jays through the 1980s, culminating with back to back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. The team was joined by color commentator Gary Matthews in 2000 and 2001.
Cheek, along with Howarth, were perhaps the most respected Toronto sports broadcasters of the era.[6] Cheek's Blue Jays broadcasts originated from Toronto's CKFH "The Fan" 1430, a station that was founded by another legendary Toronto sports broadcaster, Foster Hewitt. For a brief period, his broadcast was heard on 1050 CHUM, but following the purchase of the Blue Jays by Rogers Communications, reverted to "The Fan", which had changed its callsign and frequency to CJCL 590 AM, also known as the FAN 590.
Cheek called many memorable moments in Blue Jays history, including many firsts; the Blue Jays division-clinching game in 1985 and both the final plays of the 1992 and 1993 World Series, the latter of which spawned his famous "Touch 'em all, Joe" quote, when Joe Carter clinched the World Series on a walk-off home run, only the second to happen in World Series history.
The Streak[edit]
Cheek announced every single Blue Jays game from the first game on April 7, 1977 until June 3, 2004, when he took two games off following the death of his father – a streak of 4,306 consecutive regular season games and 41 postseason games. During the 2004 season, the Jays raised a banner to SkyDome's (now the Rogers Centre) "Level of Excellence" bearing his name and, in place of a jersey number, 4,306 – his streak of straight regular-season broadcasts.[7]
Other broadcasting activities[edit]
Outside of his Blue Jays broadcasts, Cheek was also a member of the broadcast team for ABC Sports at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid and at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
Illness and death[edit]
Cheek was forced to take further time off to undergo surgery on June 12, 2004 to remove a brain tumor.[8] Following the surgery, Cheek was able to call some Blue Jays home games while undergoing chemotherapy, but he was replaced on the road by various guest announcers.
It seemed Cheek had recovered and would call the Jays games in 2005 but the cancer returned and he required treatment at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and Toronto Western Hospital. Cheek did sit in with new commentator Warren Sawkiw and Howarth to call an inning of the Blue Jays' 2005 opening game, played in Tampa Bay.[9]
Cheek died at age 66 in Oldsmar, Florida, and was buried in Clearwater, Florida on October 14, 2005 with his wife Shirley, three children and seven grandchildren present.
Personal life[edit]
Cheek married his wife, Shirley, of Hemmingford, Quebec in 1959. They had three children, Jeff, Lisa, and Tom and seven grandchildren at the time of his death. While in the Toronto area, he made his home in Burlington, Ontario along with Clearwater, Florida during the winter.
Awards and honors[edit]
Cheek was inducted into the Blue Jays Level of Excellence in 2004 with the number "4306" next to his name, signifying his streak. Canada's Sports Hall of Fame established the "Tom Cheek Media Leadership Award" shortly before his death, for "playing a key role in promoting Canadian sports." Cheek was awarded the first award. During the 2006 season, the Blue Jays wore a white circular badge with the letters TC and a microphone in black beside the letters on their sleeve, in tribute to Cheek.[10]
For nine straight years (2005–2013),[11][12][13][14][15] Cheek was named among the ten finalists for the Ford C. Frick Award by the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The award is presented each year during the Hall of Fame's induction weekend to a broadcaster for "major contributions to baseball."[16] Cheek was selected as the 2013 recipient of the award on December 5, 2012.[17]
Memorable calls[edit]
- On October 2, 1991, Cheek described the Blue Jays' win of the AL East this way:
Roberto Alomar has stolen his fifty-third base. A fly ball will win it now. Joe Carter at the plate. The winning run—the American League championship—ninety feet away. The pitch—a swing—and a base hit! And the Blue Jays are the champs! The Blue Jays are the champs of the American League East![18]
- On October 24, 1992, Cheek called the Blue Jays' first World Series championship:
Timlin to the belt... Pitch on the way... And there's a bunted ball, first base side, Timlin to Carter and the Blue Jays win it! The Blue Jays win it! The Blue Jays are World Series Champions![19]
- On October 23, 1993, Cheek called the Jays' back-to-back World Series championship with his famous call:
Joe has had his moments. Trying to lay off that ball, low to the outside part of the plate, he just went after one. Two balls and two strikes on him. Here's the pitch on the way. A swing and a belt! Left field... way back ...BLUE JAYS WIN IT! The Blue Jays are World Series Champions as Joe Carter hits a three-run home run in the ninth inning and the Blue Jays have repeated as World Series Champions! Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life![17]

MIAMI (AP) - A witness says a naked man chewing on the face of another naked man on a Miami highway ramp kept eating and growled at a police officer who tried to stop him.
Larry Vega tells WSVN-TV in Miami (http://bit.ly/L6kwWt) that he was riding his bicycle Saturday afternoon when he saw one man tearing at the victim's flesh with his mouth.
Vega says both he and a Miami police officer yelled at the attacker to stop. Vega says the attacker just growled and kept chewing at the victim.
The officer repeatedly fired at the attacker, killing him.
The victim remained hospitalized Monday. Vega says the victim's face looked like "a blob of blood."
Few details about the attack have been released. Police say neither man's identity is known.

About This Project
Our 6 month old is crawling now and we had to hurry up and baby proof the house. As an added bonus this dog proofs the down stairs at our house as well. The "barn door" side is made from 1x6 and the back is 1x3. The stain is called Gunstock which my wife is obsessed with. She is talking about staining every piece of wood in the house with the stain which I will NOT be doing. It took me around 4 days to finish it completely and put it together. I built the frame in about an hour. I let the wood glue set for a day, then stained one side. I gave that stain 24 hours to dry and stained the other side. Then I followed the same process to clear coat it. I clear coated it three times and sanded between each coat. I had bought a latch kit and installed it. I am very happy with how it came out.

India Restaurant's chefs modify iconic South Asian staples to eliminate excess fat, cholesterol, and calories while still ensuring that the dishes are delicious enough to win various accolades. The chefs craft each authentic dish with locally sourced seafood and produce, and they avoid frying any dish, eschew butter entirely, and only cook with canola oil. Yet their nacho-like papri chaat appetizer has been called "truly addictive" by the Providence Phoenix, which also called the restaurant's biryani "a veritable feast for the senses." To make their cuisine even more inclusive, the chefs prepare an array of vegan-friendly and gluten-free dishes.
The decor strives to be similarly accommodating, presenting diners with numerous seating options, each with a distinctive ambience. A projection screen playing subtitled Bollywood films dominates the main dining area, smaller tables surround each of the three roaring fireplaces, and more than 200 flickering candles line the bar area. During the warmer months, the garden courtyard tempts patrons with its swings for seats, lush gardens, and bubbling water fountains. The sidewalk seating allows guests to dine alongside their dogs and pet lobsters; a doggie menu offers hamburger-and-rice dishes and yogurt pops for canine companions.
Traditional belly dancers drift throughout the space on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the restaurant's global jazz ensemble entertains diners with its contemporary melodic stylings.
Under the ownership of Federal Hill native Christopher Conti, Blush Winebar pours half and full glasses from hundreds of red, white, and sparkling libations. The upscale watering hole offers more than 100 wines by the glass, each with its own distinct flavor notes and secret cheese crush. A champagne bar highlights the bubbly beverage with glasses, full bottles, and three-flute samplers as well as a selection of champagne-based cocktails, such as the Blush Boom Boom, a mixture of Moët champagne, pomegranate liqueur, Grand Marnier, and orange juice. Executive chef Jacen Scungio blends fresh, local ingredients to create the flatbread pizzas, sliders, and handmade pastas that populate the wine bar's tapas menu and keep hungry imbibers from trying to stomp their wines back into grapes.
McFaddens Restaurant and Saloon combines the warm atmosphere and decadent fare of a family restaurant with the all the rowdy good times of an old-fashioned saloon. In the dining room, the wait staff shuffles around plates of classic fare for both lunch and dinner, including Black Angus burgers, roasted vegetable flatbread pizzas, and slow-roasted prime rib, with a few treats for kids, such as grilled-cheese sandwiches, cheeseburger sliders, and ice-cream pie for dessert. After dark, the bar comes alive with trivia and karaoke on Wednesday nights, supplemented by liquid courage in the form of beer towers and Ciroc ultra-premium vodka. Weekends start on Thursday with a live DJ and wrap up on Sunday with game-day specials during NFL games and professional rock-paper-scissor smack downs.
Providence Byblos is a family owned and operated hookah lounge and restaurant, offering two floors, two ceilings, three dimensions, and one patio's worth of smoke and satiation space. Prepare your palate for a Lebanese feast with the fruity flavors of a hookah, including apple, blueberry, raspberry, grape, melon, mango, and the daily special ($18 for one flavor, $21 for a mixture of two flavors), complemented by a refreshing jellab (traditional concoction of grape juice, molasses, and raisins, $2.99). Providence's "mama-style" menu serves up a wide variety of traditionally tasty appetizers, salads, paninis, and desserts. Start with a savory serving of fatayer (pita pies stuffed with organic spinach and onions, $7) or a plate of soujouk (dried beef and lamb sausages sautéed with tomatoes and onions, $8) before moving on to a crisp Greek salad ($8) or a chicken tawook panini (chicken breast, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a homemade garlic sauce, $8). Cap off the meal and quell a nagging sweet tooth with a flakey slice of homemade baklava ($3) or a sweet date-stuffed maamoul ($2).
The casual bistro charm of Cafe Paragon's dining room, its dark wood furnishings and glowing box lamps setting an easygoing mood, translates faithfully onto dishes that Gayot deemed "healthy and flavorful renditions of Mediterranean and American staples." The prosciutto panini pairs grilled apples with brie cheese on French bread beneath a balsamic glaze, while the French burger tops off at 8 ounces of Black Angus beef, with applewood-smoked bacon and boursin cheese filling in the margins of the pillowy onion roll. Entrees such as a 16-ounce rib eye topped with garlic blue cheese butter and butternut squash ravioli testify to the diversity of the menu, which balances nicely between fresh eats such as blueberry salads and hearty steaks and fish.
At night, the space transforms into something of a nightclub. Bartenders augment the Mediterranean mezzes and filet sliders with specialty martinis, wine, and cocktails. Club music, meanwhile, booms through the speakers, willing guests to let their hair down, order a specialty drink, and dance.
French-style bistro cuisine is The Grande's specialty. The restaurant gets its ingredients from local farms and fisheries, who deliver organic meats and veggies whenever possible. The bistro's wine list similarly emphasizes organic and sustainable wines from all over the world.

Terms like GlobalGAP and Primus and Davis labs are familiar to the Chilean produce lexicon, growers, shippers and marketing agents say in discussing safety issues related to that South American country.
"Chile has been always in the forefront of the good agricultural practices," said Tom Tjerandsen, managing director for North America with the Sonoma, Calif.-based Chilean Fresh Fruit Association. "The structures that Chile has put in place to ensure the safety of food that's exporters, it's always been a world leader in that regard."
In fact, Chile's more than 17,000 growers act more or less as one unit, in terms of food safety, according to marketing agents.
If there are any potential hiccups on the safety front, it may be on the other end of the supply chain, whether in North America or elsewhere, said Dan Carpella Jr., director of sales and marketing, Nathel International, Pittsgrove, N.J.
"The biggest challenge on imports is that requirements that North American retailers want with one compliance to bar-coded PLU's (price look-up stickers), etc., are not required all around the world," he said. "Given that the dollar has been so weak and the export companies in South America are looking more to other markets for the majority of their product, they're not necessarily in a hurry to put the costs into their facility to comply with those standards when the rest of the world is not requiring them to.
"That's the biggest right now on the imported side. Because the U.S. is probably not the primary market for South American imports, just because of the economy, South American exporters don't have the same motivation for compliance as, say, the California grower would."
That Chile has followed tough European safety standards for years has provided an important level of assurance, said Maggie Bezart, marketing director with the Aptos, Calif.-based Chilean Avocado Importers Association.
"Chilean produce is one of the safest," she said. "Their growers are GlobalGAP-certified, which is one of the most restrictive."
Chilean growers and shippers are ahead of the food-safety curve, said Chris Kragie, vice president of Madera, Calif.-based Western Fresh Marketing Inc.
"They're probably above most companies here in the U.S.," Kragie said. "They're all PTI-certified and PTI-ready. I know we're definitely going to try to put that together by the January startup date."

40. What the hell did Tom Cable do wrong?: Well, if you want to believe Al Davis, he assaulted an assistant coach, brought girlfriends on road trips and flew in friends the night before games. Okay, okay, but besides that, Cable led the Raiders to their best season in nearly a decade, and the players seems to genuinely like him as a coach. His firing would have been a massive surprise had Davis not been his boss.
39: The resurgence of the Chiefs: Kansas City was the surprise team of 2010. Matt Cassel went from being one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the league to a borderline MVP candidate, while the team improved drastically on both offence and defence. Jamaal Charles became an elite running back (maybe the best in the league?) and rookies Dexter McCluster, Tony Moeaki, Eric Berry and Javier Arenas have bright futures.
38. Meltdown in Tennessee: One year after starting 0-6 and winning eight of their last 10, the Titans pretty much did the opposite. One of the streakiest teams of this decade was cruising atop the AFC South at 5-2, and then they lost six straight games eight of their last nine. Chris Johnson fell 1,136 yards short of his goal of 2,500, Vince Young was demoted and eventually released and Jeff Fisher — the league's longest tenured head coach — was fired after pretty much his entire staff jumped ship.
37. Albert Haynesworth: Not sure I need to elaborate on this one, but here goes it. Haynesworth missed a large chunk of training camp because he couldn't pass a basic conditioning test, then he was benched to start the season. And to cap it all off, the $100 million man was suspended for the final four games of the season for "conduct detrimental to the team." He finished 2010 with 2.5 sacks, meaning he was paid just under $10 million per sack.
36. DeSean Jackson singlehandedly ruins the Giants' season: And nearly gets Tom Coughlin fired in the process…

Player Capsules 2012, #70-72: Kevin Love, Jordan Crawford, Marc Gasol
As our summer mainstay, Aaron's writing a 370-part series discussing almost every notable player who was -- as of last season -- getting minutes in the NBA. Intent is to get you talking, thinking, and appreciating the myriad of wonderful folks who play in our favorite sports league. Today we continue with Kevin Love, Jordan Crawford, and Marc Gasol.
• • •
Follow Kevin Love on Twitter at @kevinlove.
We can't really deny it anymore. Kevin Love is one of the best players in the league, and a budding star. Saying that feels strange to me. Way back when in 2011, I actively doubted Love's legitimacy. Not as a good player, mind you. From his first year, there were signs that Love was a legitimately talented (and very good) NBA player who had a future as a starter at worst. Many people looked at Love and wrote him off, either due to his low playing time or his low athleticism. He certainly isn't a guy who looks like an NBA player -- he's a bit pasty, and entering the league he seemed a tiny bit chunky. But his talents are myriad, and his flaws are finally starting to be addressed. We'll start with his strengths. First, Love is the best weakside rebounding talent in the NBA. Bar none. He doesn't sky for boards as an athletic marvel a la Dwight Howard, but his ability to covertly make space and throw his weight around to get in position is unparalleled. And he does it all without being particularly tall -- shockingly enough, Love measured up as 6'8" without shoes, making him shorter (without shoes) than LeBron James. But he's still a fantastic rebounder.
In fact, I'm of the opinion that in a pure battle to assess the better defensive rebounder, Love's command of the boxout and ability to use his weight to make space would actually make him a better rebounder than Dennis Rodman was. His body control is exquisite, and he's overcome so many physical handicaps to become a superstar that I'm not sure I'd bet against him in a well-scouted rebound-off between him and the Worm. I'm not 100% sure about this opinion, but I don't think it's blasphemous to think it. Offensive rebounding, obviously, would go to Dennis -- but defensive? Not sure. Love is too damn good. And that isn't simply his rebounding that's incredible -- Love's talents stretch beyond, as he's the best shooting big man in the league today. I don't say that lightly, either -- his three point stroke has gotten better every single year. While he's no great shakes as an isolation three point shooter, he's developed his shot to a designed consistency that makes it one of the strongest spot-up shots in the game. He's a post scorer who gets it done, especially from his pet area in the low block -- and has enough gusto that he generally rebounds and putbacks any shots he happens to miss or get blocked. Which, by the way, has happened less and less. As his role's evolved over his career, Love has been blocked fewer and fewer times per season.

PROVIDENCE — The day after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida, more than 150 residents and activists rallied and marched through Providence's South Side in protest Sunday evening.
To chants of "No justice, no peace," "USA, KKK, how many kids have we killed today?" and more, the marchers peacefully wound their way through some of the city's main thoroughfares, including Broad Street and Cranston Street.
Along the way, the diverse group of protesters — a number of them youths organized as part of a national response to the verdict — stopped traffic, drew onlookers out of their homes and prompted a police detail to follow their movements.
Jerryline Toetee, a seventh grader at Sophia Academy in Providence, was among those at the back of the crowd as it set off from Central High School.
Holding a sign that said "Justice for Trayvon," Toetee voiced a sentiment shared by many at the event: she was angry but not surprised by the verdict.
"It just makes me mad that someone could do this to an innocent person," Toetee said. "[Martin] was just a black person walking down the street in a hoodie with some Skittles. He didn't do anything wrong."
Celeste Brown, a Providence resident who attended the rally with her three children and two grandchildren, agreed.
Zimmerman "should not have got off like that," she said. "I thought he'd at least get manslaughter or something. Now these young kids will think in their minds, 'If somebody is watching or following me, I just might get killed. Even if I'm just walking down the street.' That's the message that this sends. And it's a sad thing."
Elsewhere in the state, reaction to Saturday's verdict was much the same.
"There is something wrong in America when a 17-year-old unarmed black teenager doing nothing wrong can be stalked by an adult with a gun, be shot and killed, and the perpetrator is completely exonerated," said Jim Vincent, president of the Providence branch of the NAACP. "Once again, for many in our country, justice was not served. For many in the black community, the fear is now 'Will my child be the next victim?'"
The NAACP, in the wake of the Florida court's verdict, called on the U.S. Department of Justice to file civil right charges against Zimmerman. The department said Sunday it would review the case.
Steven Brown, executive director of the Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the Zimmerman case highlights the need to address "deep-rooted problems of racial profiling and stereotyping" that he said contributed to Martin's death.
But Carl T. Bogus, a law professor at Roger Williams University in Bristol, said the outcome was the only possible one, in light of the evidence.
The Florida prosecutors, he said, simply failed to prove Zimmerman's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
"The available evidence didn't meet that standard. In fact, it wasn't even close," he said via e-mail. "Do I think that George Zimmerman was probably responsible for an innocent boy's death? I do. Yet, had I been on the jury, I would have had to vote to acquit."
Many at Sunday evening's rally in Providence disputed that assessment.
"People take reasonable doubt and to mean a shadow of a doubt," said Tunde Oduyingbo, of Scituate. "This man was told by authorities not to pursue. But he chose to follow this child by profiling. He shot him through the heart, so there's intent to kill. I don't know how that's not manslaughter."
Oduyingbo and other marchers expressed hope that the outcry over the Zimmerman verdict will force Americans reassess how youths of color are treated in a supposedly "post-racial" society.
"You may not be able to convince everybody, but maybe more people will stop and think that it's not just some people pulling the race card," he said. "That there is something here that's actually happening in people's lives. Racism is an everyday battle."
Not all were convinced anything would change, however.
Providence resident Troy Johnson observed the marchers from outside the Wiggins Village apartment complex on Cranston Street.
He said the Trayvon Martin case represented a "wake-up call" for today's youths, much in the way the 1991 police beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles was for an older generation.
"This stuff has been going on, it still goes on, and nothing is going to change," he said. "If anything, things like this need to happen every so often so that people are reminded that we are not healed. The country is still divided along the lines of race. And that's the bottom line. We've made great strides, but we still have a long way to go."

Baseball: Slammers fall short vs. Schaumburg Boomers
By Tim Tierney For Sun-Times Media August 2, 2014 10:04PM
Joliet, IL - Saturday, August 2, 2014: Schaumburg Boomers' short-stop Gerard Hall (3) with the tag out of Joliet Slammers's Christopher Epps (34) at second base. | Steve Johnston/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 4, 2014 6:45AM
Defending champion Schaumburg was the hottest team in the Frontier League going into its series opener Saturday night against Joliet.
The Boomers had won eight of 10 to strengthen their hold on a playoff position, but had yet to get the better of the Slammers this season.
Joliet, which split its first six games with the Boomers in Schaumburg, rallied with three runs in the bottom of the ninth, but suffered an 8-7 loss before a crowd of 2,414 at Silver Cross Field.
"The guys aren't quitting by any means,'' Joliet manager Jeff Isom said. "We're trying our hardest and trying to win ballgames. It's unfortunate.''
Joliet (26-41) had 16 hits, but not enough at the right time, leaving 10 runners on base.
"We've got to do a better job with guys in scoring position, with guys left on base,'' Isom said. "I'm sure it was double digits again. It's almost like a broken record.''
Matt Weaver (3-for-5, double, 2 RBI) and Josh Scheffert (2-for-4, run, RBI) had run-scoring singles in the ninth.
"We were just one or two hits from pulling that out,'' Weaver said. "It would have been nice to do that earlier in the game, to give ourselves a little leeway.''
It was the fourth Slammers game for Weaver, signed as a free agent after he was released by the Atlanta Braves' Class A team.
Schaumburg (40-27) broke a 3-all tie with a four-run fifth inning against Joliet starter Andrew Busby, including a two-run double by Bobby Martin.
In the seventh, the Boomers added another run before the Slammers' Max Casper delivered an RBI single to make it an 8-4 game.
Schaumburg went ahead 3-0 in the second, but the Slammers responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning and one in the third to tie the score.
Adam Giacalone and Scheffert singled with two outs and Adrian English reached on an infield hit to load the bases. JD Dorgan's infield hit scored Giacalone and Chris Epps was hit by a pitch to score Scheffert.
In the third inning, Weaver's double to the wall in left-center brought in Russell Moldenhauer (3-for-5, 2 runs) to make it 3-3.
Busby (2-4) had some ups and downs in his outing and was lifted after 42/3 innings. He allowed seven runs on seven hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
Joliet right-hander Kody McFarland is scheduled to start the middle game of the series against Schaumburg at 1:05 p.m. Sunday at Silver Cross Field.
"They're a good ballclub, there's no question,'' Isom said. "But we're not too far behind them. That's the encouraging thing.''
