J.P. Ricciardi Rumors
Discussion: J.P. Ricciardi
Over the weekend, Ken Rosenthal speculated that Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi might be the only general manager in immediate jeopardy of losing his job. Ricciardi has been under scrutiny for much of the season, particularly at the trade deadline, when he made the biggest non-trade of the year, keeping Roy Halladay in Toronto.
The argument for letting Ricciardi finish his contract, which runs through 2010: The Jays have been one of the teams hit hardest by economic woes, cutting payroll from $97MM in 2008 to $80MM this season. They're playing in the toughest division in baseball, and still finished with at least 83 wins in each of the last three seasons, prior to a disappointing 2009. Plus, a handful of Ricciardi draft picks like Aaron Hill and Adam Lind have turned into rising stars.
The flip side? Toronto has yet to make a playoff visit during Ricciardi's tenure. They've seen the cash-strapped Rays leapfrog them, and now the young and talented Orioles are threatening to do the same. Ricciardi has made a habit of P.R. blunders, most memorably suggesting without prompting that Adam Dunn lacked a passion for baseball. And some of the contracts he has handed out, such as $126MM to Vernon Wells and $47MM to B.J. Ryan, are among the worst in the game.
Following the Jays' collapse this season and Ricciardi's inability to deal Halladay after very public sweepstakes, J.P.'s days in Toronto may be numbered. Tonight's discussion question has two sides: If it were your decision, do you let Ricciardi stick around for another year, or does he need to go as soon as possible? Conversely, if you're J.P. and you're given a reprieve, what moves do you make this offseason to save your job?
Rosenthal's Full Count Video: Dodgers, DeRosa, Cubs, Managers, General Managers
Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com has a new Full Count video up, so let's dive right on in…
- Southpaws Randy Wolf and Clayton Kershaw are likely to start the first two games of the playoffs for the Dodgers, but Kershaw must recover from his dislocated non-throwing shoulder first. The back-to-back lefties would be a big advantage if LA played the lefthanded hitter heavy Phillies. Rosenthal also mentions that the Cardinals, despite being so righty heavy, have the second lowest team OPS (.675) against lefthanded pitchers in the National League.
- Hiroki Kuroda would likely start game three for the Dodgers, followed by either Vicente Padilla or Jon Garland. Chad Billinglsey will likely be left out of the rotation.
- The Cards have put their contract extension talks with Mark DeRosa on hold until the offseason, making it more likely that he'll become a free agent. The deal St. Louis originally proposed was less than the three-year, $17.5MM contract Casey Blake received as a free agent last offseason. DeRosa is a year younger now than Blake was then, but the offseason wrist surgery he is scheduled to have makes the situation cloudy.
- The Cubs will be open to "anything and everything" this offseason, including trading Milton Bradley and/or Carlos Zambrano. Anything to improve the club, basically. However, perhaps the only way the Cubs could unload Bradley would be to take on another underachieving, overpaid player in return.
- Zambrano has a full no-trade clause and is owed $54MM over the next three years, but he's still only 28-years-old and still incredibly talented. The free agent market for starting pitching is thin, which may work in Chicago's favor. Big Z might be appealing at the right price.
- Ken Macha will likely remain with the Brewers, but at least four other managers are in danger of being fired. The list starts with Cecil Cooper of the Astros, and also includes Jim Riggleman of the Nationals, Dave Trembley of the Orioles, and Eric Wedge of the Indians.
- Among general managers, Ned Colletti of the Dodgers, Brian Sabean of the Giants, and Dan O'Dowd of the Rockies are all without contracts for next year, and two of them are going to the postseason. The only GM that appears to be in jeopardy of losing his job is J.P. Ricciardi of the Blue Jays.

Ricciardi Comments On Youth
Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail spoke with J.P. Ricciardi and heard that the Blue Jays GM expects the game to become younger.
"I don't think you're going to see guys playing into their late 30s or early 40s anymore," Ricciardi said. "I'd be surprised if you see many guys get multiyear deals later in their careers."
Ricciardi added that he's taken a "giant step back" and a "totally different look at things" while evaluating players in recent years. He said some numbers, like strikeout to walk ratio, are still important to him, but he looks at other stats, like home run totals, differently.
Check out the article for Blair's analysis and more quotes from J.P..

Ricciardi Discusses Halladay
Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi is tired of the Roy Halladay rumors, even though they are entirely his fault. He told ESPN's Jayson Stark:
"Roy Halladay is not going anywhere," Ricciardi says, as emphatically as he can possibly say it without grabbing a bullhorn or splashing it on a billboard. "This has become kind of a hot topic in baseball, but we're not trading him. We have no intention of trading him. He allows us to be good. And we feel we are going to be good. And he's going to be The Guy." So there. It's settled, right? Trading his ace has never entered the GM's mind? "Nope," the GM says succinctly.
But here's Ricciardi about a week ago, to Joel Sherman of the New York Post:
"Ownership wants no part of trading Roy at this time. He's the face of the organization. Right now we are not thinking about going down that road. But that is what we feel in February. Who knows how you feel in June? We have thought about it, this has not escaped us [that Halladay could leave as a free agent, and trading him might be best for the long-term health of the organization]. In June, we may have to say. 'Is this the way we want to go?' It will be up to ownership, and ownership has a strong attachment to Doc."
Ricciardi left the door wide open in his quotes to Sherman, and that was his choice. Ricciardi also had this to say to CBSSports.com's Scott Miller:
"The only way we'd trade him, I'd say, is if all hell broke loose and the stock market went nuts and (ownership) said we've got to take the payroll down to bare bones. And if that was the case, then we'd be trading a lot of people."
If Ricciardi had made his emphatic statements to Sherman or Miller, we wouldn't be talking about Halladay.

Ricciardi: "We're Done"
So much for J.P. Ricciardi's recent name-drop of Orlando Hudson and Jason Giambi. He told MLB.com's Jordan Bastian today: "We're done. We won't be spending any money." J.P. is going to let the kids play in 2009.
One minor option for the Blue Jays is Michael Barrett, who they'd like to sign to a minor league deal.
Ricciardi Mentions Giambi, Hudson
Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi tossed out a few names in a conversation with Nick Cafardo:
"Orlando Hudson is out there. Jason Giambi is out there. We'll have to see who's out there still when the music stops and see who we might be able to get."
MLB.com's Jordan Bastian says the Blue Jays have a payroll of around $84MM for 2009, meaning they'd have to trade someone before signing a significant free agent.

Another Year For Ricciardi
9/25/08: Griffin was correct; the Gaston extension implied another year for GM J.P. Ricciardi. Blue Jays president and CEO Paul Godfrey announced today that Ricciardi will be back for the '09 season. You have to figure he's gone if the Jays don't reach the playoffs next year. Will Ricciardi's job status affect his offseason plans?
9/17/08: According to Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star, the Blue Jays will announce an extension for manager Cito Gaston soon. Griffin believes that the timing of the announcement indicates that GM J.P. Ricciardi will be back for the 2009 season. The team's recent success apparently convinced the Jays to give Ricciardi one more chance.
If he does stay, Ricciardi will have to find a starting shortstop and decide whether to offer more money/years to A.J. Burnett.
Rosenthal's Latest: Huff, Hardy, Russ Ortiz
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has a new column up.
- Mark Attanasio set a dangerous precedent by firing Ned Yost. Will he interfere with GM Doug Melvin's plans in the future?
- Rosenthal considers Aubrey Huff a "highly desirable trade commodity" this winter. That begs the question – why did Huff pass through waivers unclaimed in August?
- Trading J.J. Hardy is more likely than moving him to third base. Hardy is under team control for two more seasons. The Jays, Tigers, Royals, Twins, Giants, Dodgers, and Cardinals could be in the market for a shortstop. Demand certainly outstrips supply.
- Rosenthal believes Rafael Furcal would be a nice fit for the Blue Jays. He agrees that GM J.P. Ricciardi is likely to return.
- The Orioles might prefer affordable veterans to A.J. Burnett as they try to improve their pitching staff this winter.
- Russ Ortiz wants to pitch in 2009, and he worked out for ten days a week ago. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick first reported the workout yesterday. He says the Royals, Astros, Brewers, and Red Sox had scouts at the audition.

Justice Fred Lewis. (Meet the Court).
In his application, to the Supreme Court Judicial Nominating Commission in 1988, Fred Lewis wrote about why he wanted to be a justice: "I offer eyes and ears that can not only see and listen, but also understand and hear human difficulties. My lessons of life came from being born into generations of coal miners in the mountains of West Virginia and the sense of community and human interaction necessary for survival at that time."
It is that sense of community and the need to work for a better tomorrow that has led Justice Lewis to become heavily involved in children's issues, a passion he says he can trace back to his first "real job" as a youth director at his local YMCA in West Virginia.
"The summer before coming to college in Florida, I was able to do the things I loved with the kids," said Lewis, who attended Florida Southern College in Lakeland on a basketball scholarship and then earned his J.D. from the University of Miami. "I thought, 'It doesn't get any better than this.'"
His interest in children's issues also grew as his own family did. Lewis and his wife, Judith, have two children. The oldest daughter, Bile, was always heavily involved in sports, and the family often traveled around the country for her tennis competitions. But it was his youngest daughter Lindsay -- who battles a metabolic disorder -- who taught Lewis first-hand about children who struggle just to survive.
"With Lindsay's problem, then I saw sick kids," Lewis said. "Before, the worst problems the kids had was whether they were going to the movies or getting pizza, and with the sick kids [it was] if they were going to live the next day."
It is through the illness of his youngest daughter that Lewis learned "there are a lot of things that need attention."
Lewis has served as a member of the board of directors of Miami Children's Hospital and many of its committees and panels. While in private practice, he was heavily involved in providing counseling to families with impaired children, and he provided pro bono legal services and counseling for cancer patients seeking proper treatment for multiple conditions. Lewis also coached youth baseball teams in Miami.
"My wife would tease me because the neighborhood kids would come by to see if I would come out and play."
He now volunteers with the Florida Law Related Education Association and travels around the state visiting classrooms, putting a human face on the Supreme Court, while making the law relevant to students of all ages.
Growing up poor in the mountains, Lewis said just going to college seemed an improbability, let alone someday becoming a Supreme Court justice.
"Where I grew up, if you had a problem, you went to a lawyer," Lewis said. "So, once I realized I was going to be able to go to college, I thought that would be a good thing to be. I never even had a thought that I would be able to go to college. So it kind of developed, and after becoming a lawyer, I really loved being a lawyer."
Becoming a justice was not an easy process for Lewis, who was once turned down for a seat on the Third District Court of Appeal.
"Before that, I had never really known [now retired) Judge [Thomas] Barkdull, but, he explained it in. terms of by just being involved you make the process better, because you elevated the group from which a judge was to be selected. So, by not being selected, you still served a positive function," Lewis said. "And that meant an awful lot, because when you go through it and you have that possibility and you feel rejected, it is not a good feeling."
Lewis said he never sought to become a judge because he tired of being a lawyer, but "because there's a job that needs to be done." Justice Lewis said he saw the opportunity to serve on the Florida Supreme Court as a great chance to help people, especially children.
"It is real special to be able to be in the schools and to share," said Justice Lewis, while choking back tears. "Some of these kids will never have these experiences if we don't go to them. When you have the opportunity to be in this institution, it's more than just a job. That's why I get so emotional. It's something that becomes part of your soul, a calling."
Lewis said he went onto the court with an appreciation of enormity of the responsibility before him, but becoming a justice was nothing like he expected.
"When I came across from the Capitol that morning, I had no idea what to expect, but it was just like I was a member of the family," he said. "That is the tenor of this group. You can accomplish a lot of good when you are in that kind of atmosphere."
Lewis said Florida's Supreme Court is "a remarkable institution from the basement on up."
"I thought I had the best law firm ever, until I got up here," Lewis said. "The quality of the people and the dedication in what they are doing, it was beyond my expectations."

Opening reception Saturday, March 12th, 5-8 PM
Five silver-fleshed woman stand in casual mid-conversation on a sliver of sidewalk: poised, relaxed and thoroughly in their bodies. It all seems perfectly normal except for the fact that each figure sports the head of an antelope or the softer profile of a gazelle. Familiar and pleasing as these silhouettes may be, they are also otherworldly. Just how pleasurable is the unknown?
This duality, along with the wondrous double life of the dearly used now entwined with the newly made, propels the visual landscape of this current body of work created by Cecilia Miguez. Whether the artist's figural sculptures are presented on a small or large scale, they establish a supremely persuasive context.
Bits of furniture, tools, gears, wheels or remnants of musical instruments stand in for body parts and the life of these found objects suggests a wealth of emotional resonances. A chest of drawers torso, topped by an opalescent face made of bronze, is joined at the mid-point, where her heart should be, by a cube of polished wood. With this meticulously choreographed use of objects, each form acquires a mythology, humanity and even a presence. As for the 'poetic shapes' mentioned in the title, those spring directly, and equally meticulously, from the eye, hand and heart of the artist.
Ms. Miguez' work is included in numerous public and private collections. Louis Stern Fine Arts represents the artist exclusively.
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Friday 10am – 6pm; Saturday 11am – 5pm

Neighborhood: Putuo District
Cuisine: Chinese
In a city reputed for its seafood deliciousness this restaurant towers far above the rest as the place to dine for marine dishes. Shandong, Yangzhou and Cantonese are the main influences equating to an array of spicy dishes, with an emphasis on garlic and soy sauce. Scallops, sea cucumbers, prawns, red porgy and conch are just a few of its expected dishes. The menu is pricey, but few diners ever complain. Reservations are suggested, especially if you want to snare a window table affording postcard type views of the beach.

If Moses had held true to his premise, and written a play that actually explored the life of church organists and Kapellmeistern in 18th-century Germany, either seriously or comically, he might have supplied something we could find ourselves caring about, to our surprise. Instead, he's written another in what bodes ill to become a new phony genre, subtracting more energy from our already enfeebled art form: the skit with elephantiasisfive minutes of let's-trash-history slapstick, decked out with pseudo-meaningful discussions till it bloats into a lethal full evening. New York Theatre Workshop, where this mode of theatrical cyanide is apparently becoming an annual feature, has as usual squandered an attractive physical production and the services of a large number of fine actors (relentlessly overdirected by Pam MacKinnon) on this time-wasting nonsense.

>so feel free to use this thread to talk about enemy groups you really enjoy fighting,
As a Klingon player, I want to be able to fight other klingon factions at least in the foundry. The Duras are as cowardly as their romulan keepers!
>ships you love seeing,
Traditional ships as seen in TV shows. Getting tired of seeing yet another exotic ship that is from yet another fringe species being the hot new drop-box ship of the quarter. Some alts will fly the breen ship but it's a perfect example of a ship that makes the game feel much less trek like (as they become more and more common)
>or just a greeting if you want.
Code/Design long and prosper. \\//_
Path to 2409: Martok made the definitive statement of the Klingon Empire's view of the Romulan Star Empire in 2388. "
The Klingons will offer no treaty, no aid, and no hand that is not holding a blade"

Marco Felluga Collio Molamatta 2007
Other White Blends from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Golden yellow in color. It is characterised by an elegant bouquet of exotic fruits when young, which evolves over time assuming their very own hints of sweetness reminiscent of vanilla. It coats the palate, it's warm and prolonged and the finish is well-balanced.
Best served with all vegetables, fish and egg dishes.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A rich compote of fruit on the nose, with papaya, fresh banana, citrus fruit and just a hint of fresh ginger. Full-bodied, with excellent intensity, fresh acidity and a crisp finish."
Marco Felluga Winery
The Marco Felluga family have been immersed in the world of wine for four generations, combining the best technical innovations while preserving and respecting tradition. Within Italy's northeastern most region of Friuli, the appellation is Collio. A hilly region north of Venice, on the Yugoslavian border, the soil is composed of sandstone and loam rock. Long recognized for its unique microclimate, Collio's weather is influenced to the north-east by the Julian Alps and by the Adriatic Sea, just 10 miles to the south. View all Marco Felluga Wines
About Friuli-Venezia GiuliaView a map of Friuli-Venezia Giulia wineries (free-oo-lee veh-netz-ee-ah gwee-yee-ah)
Notable FactsSuccessful grapes of the Friuli include Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Then of course, there's the famed local variety, Tocai Friulano (not any relation to Tokay d'Alsace or Tokay of Hungary), which produces wine that is floral and nutty in character but light-bodied. Ribolla Gialla, another white grape making wine with the floral notes and acidity common to the region - it is a delicious alternative to the international varieties of the area. Reds are not to be forgotten, although found less often. Merlot is the most planted, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and few indigenous varieties. Most exports are white.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Celso Agner, MD, MS, MSc (Michigan Neurology Partners)
Description: Visualization in neuroscience has progressed tremendously since Cajal's times. The ability to represent seen images accurately has permitted a major jump in microscopy. A book on biomedical visualization is, therefore, justified.
Purpose: The purpose of this book is to address different aspects of imaging as applied to neuroscience. This worthy objective is clearly met by recognized scientists in the field.
Audience: Neuroscientists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons are the targeted readers for this book.
Features: Twenty-one authors contribute 11 chapters in this well-written, 351-page book. The chapters encompass all aspects of pertinent neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology, with a comparison of all imaging modalities available for clinical practice. The illustrations are of very good quality, the tables and graphs, pertinent to the text, and the references, up-to-date. The index is very helpful.
Assessment: Neuroscientists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons alike will find new information on possible imaging modalities to be applied to their research. This is an essential book for medical libraries in neuroscience, neurology, and neurosurgery.

If you're going to climb a mountain, you're likely going to have to start somewhere near the bottom.
That's where first-year London girls soccer coach Lindsay Williams finds herself as she begins to lead the Red Raiders program up a mountain of respectability.
Williams comes to London via the girls soccer powerhouse program of Beavercreek. The circumstances she walks into at London are far different than where she came from, but the coach is determined to build something at London that can last.
"I'm really excited about this group," Williams said. "We have just a few upperclassmen and have a young team, but there's talent here.
"Yes, the situation here is different than where I came from. But I don't see why we can't build something here. I definitely think we can build a competitive team here. It may take a year or two to get there but I think it can happen."
The coach doesn't have to look far to find top-notch programs to measure hers against. London again will compete in the Mid-State League Ohio Division which is one of the best girls soccer conferences in not only Central Ohio but across the state. With the likes of Bexley, Columbus Academy, Worthington Christian and Grandview, there are plenty of stellar programs with talented athletes on them.
"Bexley made the final four last year and Worthington Christian was No. 1 in the state last year," Williams said. "So playing in this league will be a huge challenge. Those teams have whooped up on London in the past, we just don't have the resources some of those teams have.
"We had 15 girls out and that's our team, those school's have a much bigger base to choose from. A lot of those kids play high-level travel soccer, we only have one of those. We have to go with what we have, but we're going to work hard and work with who we have."
Not having a large number of upperclassmen means the leadership duties will rest on the shoulders of a select few.
The team welcomes back junior standout Ally Kimbler, she's the one player on the roster who has played high-level soccer and will be counted on to carry a heavy load this fall. She's joined in the back by the only senior on the roster Gabby McCoy.
Juniors Taylor Clingerman and Kaity Uldricks, a pair of speedy midfielders are the other upperclassmen who will be looked upon to provide leadership on and off the field.
"We're a really young team that has talent and we're probably going to need a couple years to grow," the coach said. "What we're hoping for is that our juniors and senior can help bring these girls along and help us build up the program."
London looked pretty good in the scrimmage portion of the preseason, winning all three of its games.
"Hopefully that's a sign of good things to come," the coach said.

Israeli expatriates import punk rock.
It almost sounds like the plot of a half-baked sitcom: Two twentysomething musicians from Israel sell their possessions, travel to New York City, buy a brown 1973 Chevy van and set out across America playing their version of Led Zeppelin-meets-Nirvana punk rock.
But, of course, it's not a sitcom. For David Stitch and Jimi Nostalgia, it's real life. And it's a busy real life.
In 2 1/2 months, their band, the Mothers Anger, has played 50 or so gigs. On Saturday night, their real-life brown van will bring them to Eugene, where they'll open a punk show at Diablo's/Downtown Lounge. On Tuesday, the boys in brown return to headline a show at John Henry's.
`It's our dream and it's what we've always wanted, to be able to be in a place where we can play our music for as many people as possible," said drummer Nostalgia, calling from Los Angeles. `It's hard to do in Israel."
Israel has a rock scene - `there are heavy metal bands, punk bands, pop bands, any kind of music you can imagine' - but it's underground, Nostalgia said.
`There are a lot of really great bands, a lot of really great musicians, but there really isn't much of a crowd for it," he said. `Israel's a very, very, very small market. It's smaller than New Jersey. It's 5 million people.
`One million are orthodox Jews, you know they don't really care for rock 'n' roll. Another million are Arabs, and they don't really care for rock 'n' roll. So you end up with a really small percentage of people who want to come out to shows or who want to buy CDs. And you can't really make a living off of it. That's why a lot of Israeli musicians migrate."
Nostalgia and Stitch, the guitarist-bassist, are high school friends from Tel Aviv who recorded an album in Hebrew for Israel's second-largest record label, NMC. After a tour in the United States last year, they signed a deal with Dionysus Records and returned to Israel for a few months before making the big move across the pond.
To record their first American record, Dionysus teamed the boys with producer Michael Davis, bassist for the groundbreaking Detroit punk band MC5.
`That was amazing,' Nostalgia said of the Davis collaboration, "That was sent from heaven. ... It was so much fun to work with him in the studio. A word here, a word there and he just made us feel so comfort- able.'
That self-titled debut features the band's `special' sound, which Nostalgia describes as "electro-psychedelic hard rock 'n' roll with Middle Eastern influences.
"We have a special way of playing, because we are a two-piece band. We don't just play normal guitar and drums like a lot of two-piece bands do. We sort of invented in Israel a way of tuning the guitar differently and a special amp chain, we run it through a guitar and a bass amp, and it really sounds full. ...
`We manage to put out a lot of sound.'
Now that they're here, they're touring endlessly and living out of that 1973 van.
`It's got a high top. It's got a stink in it. It's got a couple of beds,' Nostalgia said, adding that they've been known to cook in it when need be. "When we're on the move and we're traveling and we're playing every night in different places, there is nothing but the music.
`That and taking good care of the van."

Aliyah means missing one's familyFebruary 18, 2004 10:00am
A recent oleh realizes that by choosing to live in Israel, he excluded America — and has made it harder to maintain ties to the family and friends he left behind.
An oleh chafes at labelsNovember 6, 2003 10:00am
A new immigrant thought he was leaving behind the Jewish world´s divisions when he made aliyah, but found out that Israel has its own batch of labels to identify people by their level of religiosity.

Despite the challenges Hebrew University has faced over the past year since a deadly bombing shocked the campus — mourning, replacing lost faculty and increasing security — the school is pushing forward and hoping to lure more Americans back.
What drives an Israeli immigrant?July 9, 2003 9:00am
"Today we are 330 new olim who stand as one," explains Jonathan Udren, a freelance journalist from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as he describes his experience as part of a planeload of Jews leaving America behind to make aliyah to Israel.

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten made her debut in 2008 with a bare-bones album called Because I Was in Love. She followed it with 2010's Epic and 2012's Tramp, which was produced by The National's Aaron Dessner. As she's pushed herself to improve on each album, Van Etten's remarkable emotional honesty has remained constant. This year, she returned with Are We There, which she produced alongside Stewart Lerman.
In this episode of World Cafe, Van Etten talks about making Are We There and plays a few songs from the album. Check out the World Cafe Tumblr page to download her live performance of "Tarifa."

In a somewhat surprising move, the New England Patriots have decided to release veteran RB Joseph Addai just before the start of training camp.
Apparently, Addai failed his physical. It looked as if he was going stick around for a while, signing a 1-year deal with the team in May, but reports during the Patriot's June mini camp is that they weren't too impressed with what they saw from him.
The failed physical was pretty much the nail in the coffin. Some call it a cold move to cut a guy just before training camp, but it's meant to help Addai, a veteran who feels he can still contribute, allowing him the opportunity to hook on with another team as camps start around the league.
If he can pass a physical that is.var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Rated 4 out of 5 by 515 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by MGC01 Sheraton Maui Great hotel and facilities. Staff was friendly and accommodating. My only concern with this hotel was the horrible internet service. I could have upgraded to a higher speed, however a resort of this calibre should have decent access. November 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SusanVT Had a very bad experience at this hotel. We rented a car while we were in Maui, and parked in the hotel parking lot. The first full day we were there, someone broke our sideview mirror. We immediately reported it to the hotel, talked to an assistant manager, who called security. The security guard was very rude, basically said we park there at our own risk, and treated us like criminals. The next day we called the head manager, left a message for him to call us. Two assistant managers returned our call, and the head of security, but NEVER did we hear from the head manager. Sorry was all that we basically got. No signs or disclaimers are posted anywhere saying that you park at our own risk. Hotel was in a beautiful location, pool was beautiful, beach was beautiful, hotel was just okay, and rooms were just okay, needs to be upgraded. November 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by george1113 lack of customer service My stay at this resort did not meet expectations. The first issue i had with my stay was that there was no early check in, and when i arrived to check in, the line was extremely long and did not have enough staff to handle the line. i feel if people could check in a little early then the 3 pm check in time the wait wouldnt be as long and people would then be able to enjoy the resort sooner and not waste time waiting in line. also the front desk would not answer the phone in a timely fashion. i had to call many times to try to get a hold of someone to ask a simple question. because it was hard to get a hold of the front desk, i would have to leave my desk and walk over to try to get a simple question asked. November 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by turtlelover Highly recommended Excellent resort with nice clean rooms, excellent beach location, facilities. Short walk to shopping and dining. Miles of walking trails along the beach. Great staff. November 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lplummer232 One of the best resorts on Maui! Please ignore the few petty, negative reviews you read on websites concerning noisy pools, outdated rooms, and rude staff at this resort. I can assure you after my stay that those reviews are ALL NOT TRUE! Sheraton Maui provided exceptional service from check in to check out, provided tasteful yet subtle room décor that was far from dated, was one of the most peaceful and tranquil locations I've stayed at in Maui, and catered to my every need. Upon arrival, they even upgraded my ocean view room to ocean front free of charge, which gave me the best view I've ever had on the island. My only minor gripe was that food is definitely on the pricey side. But close proximity to the great (and much cheaper) local food spots in Lahaina and Front street more than made up for that. Black Rock is also a remarkable location to be situated upon. Generally, Sheraton Maui exceeded my expectations in every way. 5 Stars! November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaliFam2013 Great Maui Hotel We had a wonderful stay at the Maui Sheraton. The room was beautiful and clean. The food was good and the location was excellent! We would stay there again. November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sally29 Sheraton Maui Black Rock From speaking with David in Reservations through spg to the front desk employees...ivy and Penolope...and the housekeeper for our room...it was a lovely experience and we are looking forward to returning someday. thank you! November 4, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grampy100 Thank you Sheraton Maui! We have been loyal guests of the Sheraton Maui for the past 12 years and it is still a wonderful resort to visit. Over the years they have done away with the flower lei greating, and flowers with turn down service, but that aside I love the open feeling of the property and the staff is excellant. The grounds are perfectly maintained and it is a joy to stay there. It is my favorite place in all of the islands. October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crin fabulous property The walk from the lobby to my room, was three elevators away...but the privacy and view were worth it. The meandering pool with a deep end was wonderful...so many pools only have 3-4 feet depths . The snorkeling right off the beach in front of the hotel was the best from our whole trip. Grounds were interesting and impeccable. Waking up every morning to an array of song birds was lushish. Car rental on premises made that process so convenient and also affordable. well stocked gift shop as well October 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kathy2013 Upset It needs more pools & we never had wifi in our room all 4 nights we were there. Also I'm a coffee drinker and was very upset I woke up to no coffee creamer and when I went looking at 530 am there was none to be found and when I called there was no answer. October 23, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Microsoft Best of the Best Best Location Best Staff Best Breakfast Best View etc. October 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jamjam Not as expected Decent hotel facility; although very little customer service and inattentive and unfriendly staff. Starwood Preferred Guest status got us nowhere; except a room very removed from everything. Long wait to check in and turned away to wait in long line by SPG customer service rep who stated they were too busy to service just SPG members. Pool Bar staff great; although Japanese restaurant needs much improvement to make the clients dining experience exceptional. Food ok. October 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by hubbyandI Satisfied My husband and I are were on a little get-away. The room we had was nothing amazing, but it had all that we needed and was cleaned daily to our expectations. The pillows are very fluffy...which we weren't a big fan of, but that is my only complaint. We would go back with our own pillows :) October 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mcm1319 Great location Hotel location was great. Staff overall was ok. But Pono at the pool went above and beyond to make us feel special and welcome. We had to switch rooms as we had one on the 6th floor in bldg 3 and the balcony could only fit one chair! We were on our honeymoon and both couldn't even sit on the balcony at $400/night. Not ok. We finally got a room change two days in. The second room was much better with a great view and balcony and was more what was expected. October 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ohana810 Third time NOT the charm We've come here three times in past several years. The first two trips in 2010 and 2012 were great and the staff were well-trained, warm, and accommodating. On this most recent trip however (for our wedding), it was a mixed bag. We were greeted with kindness from Gabe and Makana of the front desk staff and enjoyed working with the Cliff Dive Bar staff and the event reservations manager. However, our interactions with the valet service left much to be desired. Upon asking if our car could be parked by the lobby because we would be returning shortly, Cory the valet said, "Look dude, we have a lot of cars here and my job is to get the cars parked." Not our problem and not the kind of rhetoric one expects from this lovely hotel on Maui. A restaurant doesn't do its dishes in the front of the house, and the valet at the Sheraton Maui needn't advertise how it goes about doing its job to the guest, it should go about it seamlessly and without complaint. October 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zebra48 A Beautiful Resort with a Great Location For anyone who enjoys having water activities easily accessible in a relaxing environment with beautiful surroundings, this is the place for you. My husband and I selected the Sheraton Maui for our most recent vacation in Mau after visiting the property several years ago while staying at a nearby resort. The resort is a short drive from Lahainia and is situated along the ocean walk. Whaler's Village is a 4-5 minute stroll for those looking to eat and shop at off property locations. The Sheraton's proximity to Black Rock is great for very good and easy access snorkeling. There is a great view from the pool and tiki bar of the resort's customary evening ritual of the Black Rock dive. The beach is clean, wide, not at all crowded and very close to the resort's pool areal. Sheraton's pool area is very large and appeals to adults as well as children. The tiki bar has a nice selection for light fare and beverages. The evening entertainment is just right for enhancing the relaxing atmosphere of the soft sounds of ocean waves and lush surroundings The staff in the beach kiosk, tiki bar/grill, front desk and those attending to the room were genuinely pleasant, helpful and enthusiastic in their job performance. The breakfast buffet was excellent! Each morning the array of fresh fruits and variety of hot and cold entrée selections were hard to resist. And, the assortment of hot selections changed from day to day! Nice touch. The breakfast staff was a standout with the exception of one server who seemed to disappear and was very reluctant to give us more than one pour of coffee. Mel Richard and Edward were excellent servers. They were happily engaged in their duties and we looked forward to seeing them in the morning. Our room was large, had a lovely view and was very clean. The staff was prompt in responding to our request to replace bulky top bedding with a light blanket. Unfortunately, The matrasses were the least comfortable of the four locations we stayed at during our visit to the islands. The air conditioning also did not do its job as far as keeping the room comfortable . Our room seemed stuffy during the evening hours. No matter how we adjusted the fan or the thermostat, the room got stuffier as the evening progressed which, in addition to the matrass quality, affected our sleep. We rated the SPG as average for two reasons. We did not take advantage of the 20% discount offered at the two selected restaurants. The resort fee seemed excessive per day since we used none of the services/items covered in that fee. We did like the parking garaging which was conveniently located and provided welcomed shade to keep our rental car cool. October 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gary911 This hotel needs improvement Disgusted to find my bed was wet after a long day (12 hours) of travel. This event ruined our trip. We dreamed our trip back to Maui 30 years later would be much better. It took too long to rectify situation. In room phone was not functional. No hotel shuttle from airport cost us $100 just to get to hotel. October 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerry5555 Great Vacation Spot This is a great facility with an exceptional staff. The location at Black Rock provides a great beach, good swimming, and is one of the top snorkeling spots on Maui - all just steps from your door. The hotel is within easy walking distance of other sites on Ka'anapali Beach, including Whaler's Village for shopping (everything from an ABC Store to Louis Vuitton), restaurants, and many activities (such as various sailing cruises and parasailing) depart directly from the beach near the hotel. The hotel makes a great "base" from which to check out the other areas of Maui as well, including nearby Lahina. This the second visit to the Sheraton Maui at Black Rock my wife and I have made since 2010 - and we will be back again. October 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alohaleah Wonderful staff, beautiful resort! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Maui! The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful and we loved the pool and beachfront location! October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by OCMauiGal Accommodating Staff This was our third visit to the Sheraton Maui. The initial room selection for our reservation was not what we envisioned, so we requested that our room be changed. The staff was very accommodating and got it right for us. We really enjoyed our stay to celebrate my birthday and our 10 yr wedding anniversary. The atmosphere at this hotel is laid back and personal, and the hotel grounds are extremely beautiful. We were not disappointed and will return again and again. Mahalo! October 14, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by PatJudy50 Maui Woweeeee By far....the best hotel, best view, best location, and best amenities that we've ever stayed at. All of the hotel personnel were fabulous and they treated us like Kings and Queens. We didn't recognize how truly great our hotel was until we spent 2 days at the sister hotel, The Westin. Yes, we were very disappointed with this hotel. October 11, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by KeBake travel stay average resort. below expectations for price you pay. October 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sfdeb Quiet Hotel Tiny Pool I loved the Sheraton from the beautiful grounds, to the fantastic views. Downside is outdated room, awful bed, tiny pool, lack of loungers by the tiny pool. Parking was better than most other hotels, there actually is adequate spots. There are many hotel along Kaanapali beach and over the years I've stayed at all of them and by far the Sheraton is the quietest. Perfectly situated at Black Rock the Sheraton has some of the best snorkeling, and largest beach area (lots of sand) along Kaanapali. The room, while small was well appointed, clean and had a great view. The bed was one of the worse we have ever slept on - Heavenly bed? I don't think so. Hard as a rock. The room and bathroom are in serious need of an update. Look to be 20 years old. Maybe the premium rooms have better beds? Grounds are beautiful but the pool is the worse feature of this fantastic hotel. Tiny in comparison to some and with chairs and shade for probably 10% of the guests at the hotel. No one likes to have to be out by the pool at 6 am to get a chair... with the expansive lawn area why not add say 500+ loungers and umbrellas to that area until the pool is re-done to resort size. No adult pool here to be prepared to hear some kids screaming. Poolside service was pretty good. Service was average. Unfriendly front desk, super friendly guy who brought luggage to the room, and very friendly valet - of course they are working for tips. October 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MauiSun Perfect Place to Stay on Maui The location can't be beat; right at the most scenic part of Kaanapali Beach. The hotel property is beautiful and has stunning views of the beach and Black Rock. And the views of the sunsets from the our room were amazing. If you want the perfect scenic place to stay on Maui, this is it. (Not to mention that the snorkeling right in front of the hotel is great and we frequently saw sea turtles there). October 7, 2013

Given the flurry of bad press that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has had of late, Jones Soda Co. has taken the move to switching sweeteners in its soft drinks.
HFCS is being shown the door; sugar is being ushered in instead. So reports SeatttlePI.com.
How intriguing. While this certainly is an interesting move, it doesn't really address the larger issue here, which is that sugars of all kinds, in excess, could, over time, cause health problems galore. And we're not just talking about obesity. We're talking about heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.
OK, I'll be blunt: If I had my druthers, people just wouldn't drink empty-calorie soda. Period. But, hey, let's face it, I'm fantasizing bigtime here.
So, if you had to have a refined sweetener used in soda, yeah, I'll admit, that I'd prefer pure sucrose over high fructose corn syrup. (Research shows that HFCS is processed differrntly in our bodies and could lead to a number of health woes.)
Let me repeat, however: You do NOT need soda. There's no RDA for that empty-calorie sugary concoction.
Now, I personally do like sweet drinks from time to time. In fact, my favorite sweet drink of all is natural herb tea, which contains no added sweeteners at all. (Today, I was yearning for a sweet beverage so I had some stevia tea, made straight from the herbs. It's naturally sweet and quite tasty.)
Listen, I am NOT advocating drinking soft drinks (whether they contain sugar or HFCS), but if you do absolutely positively insist on having one, make sure to pace yourself -- in other words, have a good meal first (you know, protein, quality carbs like veggies, healthy fats, etc.). Then sip the soda -- and if you can, toss out half of it.
Then at least contemplate the role soda plays in your life. In short, do what I call "sugary soul searching." You may find that you really don't "need" soft drinks after all.

I never did nothing but break the ground on top of the asphalt
from Kendrick Lamar – Hol' Up Lyrics on Genius
He's groundbreaking.
Also possibly an interesting play on words: the earlier mentions of being in the "back of that bitch", "but break" and "asphalt" (ass fault).
Reference to the line before it. He only calls a girl a hoe/bitch if she truly is one, and by doing so hes showing who she really is underneath all the fake exterior she displays to the rest of the world.
Also note that a garden hoe is used to break the ground to allow plants to grow. Plants don't grow on asphalt however so this could be a reference to a poem by one of his favorite rappers, 2Pac, called The Rose That Grew From Concrete.
