One of "The Atlantic"'s Best Food Books of 2014
Fifty ways to be an enlightened carnivore, while taking better care of our planet and ourselves, from the founder of Slow Food USA.
We have evolved as meat eaters, proclaims Patrick Martins, and it's futile to deny it. But, given the destructive forces of the fast-food industry and factory farming, we need to make smart, informed choices about the food we eat and where it comes from. In 50 short chapters, Martins cuts through organize zealotry and the misleading jargon of food labeling to outline realistic steps everyone can take to be part of the sustainable-food movement. With wit, and insight, and no small amount of provocation, THE CARNIVORE'S MANIFESTO is both a revolutionary call to arms and a rollicking good read that will inspire, engage, and challenge anyone interested in the way we eat today.
About the Author
PATRICK MARTINS is the Executive Director of Slow Food USA.
Mike Edison is a writer, editor, and musician. He is the author of "I Have Fun Everywhere I Go: Savage Tales of Pot, Porn, Punk Rock, Pro Wrestling, Talking Apes, Evil Bosses, Dirty Blues, American Heroes, and the Most Notorious Magazines in the World". He lives in New York City.
In his three decades behind the stove, David Tanis has overseen kitchens in Santa Fe and Paris and throughout the San Francisco Bay area, mostly notable at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, where he was a chef for nearly 20 years. His writing has appeared in "The" "Wall Street Journal" and "Fine Cooking "magazine and he currently writes the weekly City Kitchen column for "The New York Times." Tanis's "A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes" was chosen as one of the 50 best cookbooks ever written by "The Guardian/Observer" (UK), and his "Heart of the Artichoke and Other Kitchen" "Journeys"" "was" "nominated for a James Beard Award. His newest book is One Good Dish.
Praise For…
"The Carnivore's Manifesto is about a lot more than eating meat. It's about living well and having fun while being conscious of what goes into your body."—Mario Batali
"Patrick Martins is the shepherd of domesticated animal rights. Tend to them mercifully, then 'eat 'em if you want to keep 'em,' he's always said. This manifesto offers a unique perspective in an edgy, guerrilla style. You'll find it impossible to put to pasture."—Mark Ladner, executive chef at Del Posto, New York

Delta Chief's Fancy Footwork
How CEO Anderson Overcame Obstacles To Northwest Deal
Even before Richard Anderson became chief executive of Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL 0.58 % seven months ago, the board made it clear he should come to the dance ready to find a partner.
How he got to the day last week when he announced a deal to merge with Northwest Airlines Corp. that would make him the head of the world's biggest airline is a tale filled with fancy footwork.
Mr. Anderson, a 52-year-old former Harris County, Texas, prosecutor and veteran of Continental Airlines Inc. CAL 2.11 % and Northwest, proved to be a wily and remorseless negotiator who overcame opposition from nearly every corner. In the months that led up to an agreement, Mr. Anderson showed himself willing to surprise his own employees, challenge old friends at Northwest, rile that airline's powerful pilots, and quickly reverse his own statements about Delta's lack of interest in merging.
In an interview Monday, Mr. Anderson sidestepped questions about his role in doing the deal, saying the merger is "not about me." He argued that by matching Delta's strengths on the East Coast, across the Atlantic and to Latin America, with Northwest's presence in the Midwest and across the Pacific, the two airlines together make up what each lacks individually. In addition to generating more revenue, the merged airline by 2012 plans to eliminate at least $1 billion in costs because of greater efficiency, better use of aircraft, and streamlining of operations.
The combination, he said, is about creating "the strongest, most durable of all the airlines ... that will provide a lot of durability and security that we wouldn't have were we by ourselves." The two companies said they won't eliminate front-line worker jobs or close hubs, but they do plan to pare headquarters positions. Mr. Anderson likely "will keep quite a few of the Northwest operating people" as well as key players he knows in sales and marketing, predicted one acquaintance who has stayed in contact with Mr. Anderson.
Read excerpts from the Journal's interview with Delta Chief Richard Anderson.
For now, Mr. Anderson, his deputies and executives from Northwest are stumping state capitals, hub cities, and Washington, D.C., hoping to win over antitrust officials at the Justice Department, shareholders of both airlines, and a combined work force of nearly 80,000 people. Northwest's pilots already have vowed to kill the deal because Mr. Anderson at the last moment found a way to give Delta pilots a new contract, but not those at Northwest.
Not that long ago, Mr. Anderson seemed to be leaving the airline industry for good. After 14 years in various posts at Northwest, he quit the top job there in 2004 to take an executive vice president position at UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH 0.47 % for far more money. The next year, Northwest filed for bankruptcy-court protection, as did Delta.
He was lured back to airlines just after Delta emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in April 2007, as a member of the carrier's new board. In short order, his fellow directors passed over two internal candidates for CEO and selected Mr. Anderson. During the search, Mr. Anderson insisted he wasn't a candidate and had people close to him emphatically tell reporters that he wasn't a candidate.
When Mr. Anderson arrived at Delta's Atlanta headquarters, he immediately sought to calm Delta's 48,000 employees, repeatedly vowing to preserve the standalone business plan that the previous management team had forged while reorganizing the company. Many workers were still jittery after the bankruptcy and an ultimately unsuccessful hostile takeover bid for Delta by US Airways Group Inc. Workers voiced fears that Mr. Anderson had been hired to orchestrate a merger with Northwest.
"Between Northwest and Delta there is no plan and no intention of any merger or acquisition," Mr. Anderson said after his appointment was announced.
Behind closed doors, a merger with Northwest or another airline was exactly what the board was telling Mr. Anderson to pursue, if it made sense, people familiar with his appointment said.
"It was at the top of the list of priorities" for the new chief executive, said Jim Feltman, an industry consultant who advised the committee of Delta creditors, which picked the airline's board. Some creditors were still disappointed that Delta rejected US Airways' $9.5 billion offer -- which would now have a value of about $5.8 billion -- and were concerned that Delta wasn't living up to its rosy projections in its recovery plans.
Mr. Anderson said he never misled employees or anyone else. He said his view on consolidation changed as the industry's outlook worsened.
In November, hedge fund Pardus Capital Management LP, a minority investor in both Delta and UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, made public a letter it had sent to managers of both airlines, urging the two to consider a merger. Immediately, Delta disclosed that the airline's board had recently created a committee to study "strategic options."
Mr. Anderson denied in a statement that day that Delta had entered continuing negotiations for "any type of consolidation transaction."
Within a few weeks, though, according to people familiar with the process, Mr. Anderson was making the rounds at other airlines. He visited executives of Northwest, UAL, and Continental to discuss the potential of a tie-up with each one. By early January, it was clear that United and Northwest were the two most likely partners.
Mr. Anderson got clearance that month from the Delta board to pursue full-fledged merger talks with both. Doug Steenland, Northwest's chief executive and an old friend of Mr. Anderson, had tried unsuccessfully since the fall of 2005 to interest previous Delta management in a deal.
Within weeks, Messrs. Anderson and Steenland were engaged in serious negotiations, beginning with a meeting at the New York offices of one of Delta's investment bankers, Greenhill & Co.
Northwest laid out the logic of combining operations, how the deal could be accomplished, the way the employees would fit together and an update of the strides it was making since exiting its own bankruptcy reorganization. Mr. Anderson knew most of Northwest's team from his 14 years at the Eagan, Minn., carrier.
"The chemistry was good," said one person familiar with the situation. "The deal seemed to work."
Messrs. Anderson and Steenland were both hired as Northwest lawyers in the early 1990s by the same executive, and they waged key battles together: Northwest's brush with insolvency in 1993, a disastrous pilot strike in 1998 and the searing events of 9/11. When Mr. Anderson was CEO and Mr. Steenland president of Northwest, they acted as equals and were friendly socially.
Mr. Anderson was insistent that Delta be the acquirer in any deal, preserving its culture and headquarters. In response, Mr. Steenland agreed to give up the Northwest name and let the new carrier be based in Atlanta.
After some back and forth, Mr. Steenland also reluctantly agreed to give up any executive role and remain only as a director. If he stays employed until Delta completes its takeover, he will collect severance of at least $7.4 million in cash and benefits -- including accelerated vesting of his supplemental pension, according to an analysis by James F. Reda & Associates LLC. He also may be eligible for as much as $2 million to cover related taxes, according to the New York pay consultancy. In addition, Northwest disclosed Friday that Mr. Steenland will receive 375,000 restricted retention units that will pay out in cash equal to Northwest's stock price as much as $22 a share on deal consummation.
Mr. Steenland pushed back on one major point: that Northwest shareholders receive a premium in the share-swap transaction in return for losing control of the company. Ultimately, Mr. Anderson agreed.
Mr. Steenland, 56 years old, said Mr. Anderson dealt with him in good faith throughout the negotiations. "An overall merger transaction is very difficult and complex," he said. "It was helpful to have had the 15-year relationship Richard and I had."
Then Mr. Anderson threw in another twist, asking that the airlines' two pilot groups reach a common labor contract and agree between themselves to a seniority integration plan before the merger was announced -- something never before attempted in an airline merger.
When the pilot groups couldn't agree on how to do that, the deal foundered. At the end of March, as rising fuel prices continued to stalk all airlines, Mr. Steenland suggested reviving the plan without the pilots.
Even then, Mr. Anderson got his way -- essentially by pitting the pilots against each other. He negotiated a last-minute contract that takes care of Delta's 6,000 aviators, leaving Northwest's 5,000 pilots to try to catch up in later negotiations. Mr. Anderson promises to resume negotiations with Northwest pilots promptly, even as their union vows to do everything it can to defeat the merger.
"The bottom line is what we're doing here is in the best interests of employees of both airlines," Mr. Anderson said. "This business grows two ways, through organic growth and acquisitions. ... This is an opportunity that doesn't come along very often."

A passion for fine art
Meet Roxana Velásquez, executive director of the San Diego Museum of Art
A: It's difficult to choose, but I am a 19th-century spirit. I enjoy most of the movements that happened in those years, like Romanticism, Orientalism and Symbolism. These movements transformed the way in which society and individuals understood the human condition, and expressed in different ways the complexity and depth of the human soul.
Q: You lived in Mexico City for so many years — what do you miss most about it?
A: I continue to travel to Mexico City throughout the year. The last two years I have been so busy that there has not been time for reminiscing. But, if pressed for an answer, I must admit I do miss Bondy, a bakery where I used to have breakfast meetings.
Q: Do you have a favorite or secret spot in Balboa Park?
A: I have many favorite spots in Balboa Park. For instance, walking from my car to the office, through Old Globe Way, I can hear the wolves (at the San Diego Zoo), smell the eucalyptus trees, observe a beautiful spot of green and admire the blue sky. This is a very special moment I take before starting each new day.
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?
A: I enjoy great food, yet I don't know how to cook.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: The ideal weekend is spending quality time with my family. I think I am speaking for many mothers that feel that their children are growing up too fast. Any moment that I can enjoy in my 10-year-old son Alejandro's company makes me happy, no matter if we are at the beach, playing soccer in the park or listening to him practicing piano.

Referees are favouring New Zealand, says Stuart Barnes
The All Blacks are receiving a "disturbing" number of favourable decisions, says Stuart Barnes.
Last Updated: 16/09/13 11:18am
It was one of those games. Powerful and pulsating throughout, this could have been one of the most memorable internationals of recent years.
Unfortunately déjà vu struck and for all the excellence of so much of New Zealand's game, it will be remembered - certainly in South Africa - for yet another refereeing display where the key decisions again broke the way of the All Blacks.
Australia were on the wrong end of some atrocious refereeing a few weeks ago in Wellington and the Springboks found their more realistic hopes of a first win in Auckland since 1937, undone by Romain Poite.
The Frenchman is one of my favourite referees, but like the majority of his colleagues who blow down south, somehow the whistle always goes New Zealand's way.
Maybe it is time for All Blacks fans and coaches to forget about 2007 and Wayne Barnes; time to accept that the wheel has turned full circle in their favour.
Bismarck Du Plessis was yellow carded for a beautifully timed tackle that took Dan Carter out of the game. It was neither a shoulder charge, like Ma'a Nonu's dangerous late hit on Jean de Villiers later in the game, nor was it high. It appears he was sin binned for having the temerity to flatten the great fly half.
In the second half Du Plessis was yellow carded for dangerous play with a forearm that was high - this would be given as yellow card in possibly one in five games. Two yellows make a red and the game was all but over with the Springboks trailing by just seven at the time.
The breaks going the way of New Zealand are becoming too familiar a pattern in New Zealand. They are the world's leading team and the best benefit from sympathetic officiating in all sports but this pattern is disturbing.
Justin Marshall, a distinguished All Black, was struggling for words when Jannie Du Plessis was penalised for what Marshall saw as a decision of pure pedantry but minutes earlier, when Ruan Pienaar rightly charged a free kick as Beauden Barritt advanced forward, the referee simply sent the South African backwards when the scrum half was within his rights to play the man and ball.
Every small decision seems to be interpreted New Zealand's way. Even when the All Blacks suffered two indisputable yellow cards in the last 10 minutes when the game was won the referee took their side. Nonu went for the aforementioned late charge, but Conrad Smith escaped a cynical hand in the ruck metres from the line.
It was pure yellow and de Villers quizzed the French referee as to whether Smith too should be sin binned. Poite disregarded him when the New Zealanders should have been down to 12 men for the misdemeanours. But that was a correct decision too far for the Frenchman.
It is difficult to beat New Zealand anywhere and anytime, let alone in New Zealand, but when the referees are subconsciously leaning their way it becomes all but impossible. South Africa, with some even breaks, fifteen men and the Johannesburg altitude will believe they can turn this result around. They will take the field believing they were hard done-by in Auckland which is going to make this match something else.
Fire and fury in Auckland, but in Perth the affair was altogether lower key. The match was damp, tight but nothing memorable - with a far from packed Perth house a concern for the Australian union.
The sport lacks powerhouse national teams and, whilst many who have suffered at the hands of Australian sporting excellence in the past may gloat at their current travails, the sooner the Wallabies are competing with the best the better. Union is fragile in the land of league; victories in style are needed and fast if Australia is not to fall from their perch at the top of the game where they have been throughout the professional era.
Rugby needs more not less competitive teams if it is to continue to grow as a global sport. That is a lesson to be learned and reiterated in both hemispheres in these troubled times.

Got a question for Stuart? Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the feedback form below...
Why does Richard Cockerill think that only Premiership Clubs should have been consulted over the new laws? There are hundreds, sorry thousands of clubs playing the game of rugby union each week. If any referendum or consultation should take place then surely this would involve each club taking part? It is typical of the man and his over-rated opinion of himself that he thinks that the game revolves around a very small proportion of rugby union clubs.Howard Cooper
STUART REPLIES: Howard, Coaches at the higher end of the game have a greater financial interest in laws, not for the sake of the game but the sake of their team's prospects. There is nothing wrong with consultations - and there have been many - but the lawmakers should make the laws and the coaches should stick to coaching their teams. I don't suppose many coaches would like administrators interfering with the way their team is coached. The laws are for the benefit of the game not specific teams and styles. Right now we are witnessing some serious overreach in the sport. This is perhaps symptomatic of the current mood.
Hi Stuart. Following the injury to Brad Barritt, who do you see as next in line for the England No.12 shirt? Could Kyle Eastmond jump ahead of Billy Twelvetrees in the queue? Dirk
STUART REPLIES:Dirk, it is possible. It depends upon the style England wish to adopt. The centre who is catching my eye is Henry Trinder. Fully fit (although he did limp off at Saracens) he is looking fabulous. I don't think England can win a World Cup with Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell in the same midfield so a change needs to be made somewhere and with the World Cup two years away, sooner rather than later.
After our big win over Leicester, do you think Bath can break into the top four this season? And can George Ford, with his ability to play on the gainline and drop deep to control a game, jump ahead of Burns and Farrell for England?Ally
STUART REPLIES: Ally, Early days. I was in the press box at the Rec and enjoyed the atmosphere and the game, but remember Leicester had nearly half of their best team missing and were closing in on Bath at the end. I don't think Bath will overtake Leicester this season but they are contenders for the top four (probably the fourth spot) and they look very promising for the longer term future.
Before I discuss Ford, a quick mention for Anthony Watson; the full back could be one of the most spectacular talents ever seen in Bath. The glimpses I saw in the flesh were enough to convince me that the 19-year-old is destined for great things. As for Ford; I'm very impressed. Calm, composed, a rugby brain; there is a lot to like. If he keeps improving from the foundations set Saturday, he has to be taken seriously.
He might not have Farrell's iron will and Burns' flair, but his ability to see the whole field is a priceless edge that he seems to possess. Very exciting times for Bath fans, although I don't see the championship returning to the Rec this season.

Lucas Binder
Good morning, and thank you all for joining us. Earlier this morning we issued a press release announcing financial results for the third quarter 2009. A replay of this conference call will be available beginning at 12 noon Eastern Time today until next Monday, November 16 at 12 noon. We have an audio webcast available on our website at www.orbcomm.com, an archive of which will be available for the week.
With me today are Marc Eisenberg, Orbcomm's Chief Executive Officer and Robert Constantini, Orbcomm's Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I also want to point out that during the course of this conference call, we will make a number of forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Some of these factors are described in our SEC filings including the risk factor section of our Form 10-K. I want to remind you that Orbcomm assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements.
The financial information we will discuss today includes non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The company believes that these financial measures provide an enhanced understanding of our underlying operating performance. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EIBTDA to net loss on a GAAP basis is included in our earnings release, a copy of which is available on our website.
With that aside, I will hand it over to Marc.
Marc Eisenberg
Thank you Lucas. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us. On the call today, I would like to provide you with an overview of the third quarter 2009 results, update you on recent business highlights and discuss the status of our satellites. I'll then turn the call over to Robert who will provide a full financial review of the quarter, and an update on the satellite insurance claim. We will conclude the call with any questions you may have.
For the third quarter 2009 service revenues increased 10%, while total revenues declined 6.6% on anticipated lower product sales compared to third quarter of 2008. The reported adjusted EBITDA of $1 million, which is up 58% from $646,000 reported in the prior year quarter.
The year-to-date adjusted EBITDA is $2.1 million, which represents a 46% increase over the year-to-date adjusted EBITDA in 2008. The company generated $1.3 million in cash flow from operations during the quarter and year-to-date cash flow from operations of $3.3 million.
At the end of the third quarter, our total billable subscriber communicator base or subs was about 509,000, which represents annual sub growth of more than 15% from the base of September 30, 2008. The growth in subs was the key driver of service revenue growth of 10%, which was also aided by the AIS related activities during the quarter.
We added approximately 26,000 net subs consisting of 2,000 satellite adds and 24,000 terrestrial adds during the third quarter. Orbcomm experienced exceptionally high disconnects led by a few of our transportation VARS, which we have not seen repeated thus far in the fourth quarter.
The quarter reflected the migration of GE Asset Intelligences terrestrial subscribers to the Orbcomm system. While satellites subscriber growth was slow this quarter, we believe based on our conversations with the OEMs they are working through inventory levels, which has limited some of our growth in the short term. Once the OEMs worked through this inventory and starts to ramp up production again we expect this to benefit the satellite additions.
Let's talk about our dual mode efforts. A big step forward in our efforts to offer a complete dual mode solution as the recent partnership with Sierra Wireless, which is meant to deliver some key components of our upcoming web services portal. This portal will enable our users to manage their wireless devices with more sophisticated control, which we believe positions us as a leader in the M2M device management.
Many aspects of this portal represent significant steps ahead of the offerings of our competition. Comprehensive device management and diagnostic capabilities are critical for anyone deploying M2M applications. Among the key features included in this offering are the ability to remotely administer firmware and software updates, provide detailed usage and diagnostic information, troubleshoot application or connectivity issues and manage key aspects of their data communications.
Orbcomm's unique multi-network capabilities, which has been brought together is the ideal companion to this M2M operating portal. This portal also enables dual mode services allowing the user to combine satellite and terrestrial wireless networks. Combined with new hardware offering from Sierra wireless, Digi and Quake offers end users a complete dual mode solution maximizing terrestrial and satellite benefits while cutting time to market. We expect this portal to be available in the first quarter of 2010.

By the time either of these features are relevant in anything other than benchmarks, ATI will have answered (possibly more than once).
The 480 is the performance leader, but given the heat etc, the only way you are realistically going to own one (or more) of these cards is by way of LC (or extensive additional air cooling). Why bother with that when you can go ATI and not have to worry about the extra expenditure and hassle?
This is the first time I have gone back to ATI in my main box in over 5 years but my experience thus far has been very positive. Nvidia's awful PR and their underhanded tactics (such as disabling GPU Physx on an Nvidia card when an ATI GPU is detected) are making me very happy I switched.
Short of something earth shattering from Nvidia, I don't see myself returning any time soon.
To switched back for the first time since 9800 Pro, my current feelings exactly.

Solgar, Gold Specifics, Prostate Support, 60 Veggie Caps
By Solgar9 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.67 lbs (0.3 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

- UPC Code: 033984022959

Originally written on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 4/13/12
DETROIT -- If the Tigers win the World Series, it will go down as one of the most significant text messages in baseball history. Prince Fielder was sitting on the dais at Comerica Park, talking about his new 214 million contract at a press conference, when his cell phone went bloop. The sender: Miguel Cabrera. The message: Welcome. It might sound corny, but it means a lot, Fielder said Thursday. When the batting champion is willing to change positions so you can be part of this, it feels good. He just said, Im happy youre here. Ill be honest: As soon as I saw that, I felt comfortable. In Fielder, Cabrera and Justin Verlander, the Tigers have three potential Hall of Famers who are not yet 30 years old. They belong on any list of the top 10 players in baseball. Few franchises based outside the Bronx have been able to make such a statement in recent years. But we know from teams in other sports the 2011 Miami Heat, for instance that superstar accumulation can make for an explos...

Here are Andy Birol's favorite smartphone apps. Birol is the founder of Birol Growth Consulting and presents workshops, keynotes, and strategic planning sessions worldwide. He's the author of five books, including "The Five Catalysts of Seven Figure Growth." He's also a contributing writer for The Business Journals.
My smartphone: Apple iPhone 5s
My Tablet: iPad
My five favorite apps
1. Siri
For critical, on-demand help and support, Siri has come a long way and is generally reliable, although she gets moody, especially in remote or busy places when she shuts down and refuses to listen. But soon all is forgotten and she's helpful again.
2. Delta
As a frequent flyer, the Delta app is invaluable for learning about flight delays, re-booking and now the ability to book flights. Sitting on a runway has never been better.
3. Penultimate
As a consultant, I take a lot of notes. Penultimate enables me to preserve and send my chicken scratch to my laptop, ensuring a greater level of confidentiality, since no one can read my writing but me.
4. Business Card Reader Pro
While it still has a way to go, Business Card Reader Pro's ability to read a business card accurately is good and it converts the record into an Outlook contact. If only BCR Pro could automatically set up an appointment on a prospect's calendar!
5. OpenTable
Finding, evaluating and booking dinner has never been easier and better. Yes, you can find the best sushi restaurant in Minneapolis, thanks to OpenTable.
My favorite app for fun
Okay, I admit I'm addicted. Scrabble is a great way to combine self-improvement, diversion, and competition whenever and wherever. It is also a way to catch up with old friends in your Facebook network and make new ones, all through a shared interest.

1. Senior Trent Thomas, St. Leo's leading scorer last season, came off the bench and torched the Hurricanes for 23 points. He made 41% of his threes as a junior, and against Miami made 4-8 (50%). He also made 4-6 twos, and 3-4 free throws.
2. St. Leo turned the ball over 20 times in a 68 possession game (29.4%). This only left them 48 possessions in which they scored 69 points (1.44 per effective possession). Seven players had at least two turnovers, and junior Jerrel Harris – a transfer from Wisconsin-Stevens Point – had five in his first action for the Lions. Yet they still won.
3. Miami big men Kenny Kadji and Reggie Johnson combined for eight turnovers and zero assists in 39 minutes. The two combined to play 55 games last season, and only three times did either turn the ball over as much they both did against St. Leo.
4. Typically, in exhibition games, it's the lesser opponents whose starters play typical starter minutes. But in this game Miami had four players play at least 31 minutes, and another play 26. The other four players in the rotation averaged 9 minutes per.
5. St. Leo won the game 69-67. It was the first time in school history – exhibition or not – that they defeated a Division I opponent.

1. Line a small 3 x 5 mini loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Place all the ingredients in a small pot and mix.
3. Heat the mixture over low heat until things melt, for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.

Markets improving and confidence is higher as projects start to bear fruit
Posted: April 02, 2014|
As the first quarter of 2014 draws to a close, Andrew Nichols, chartered surveyor at commercial property firm Gadsby Orridge, gives an overview of the market and looks forward to new developments.
JANUARY saw a flurry of activity, some of which was the continuation of deals negotiated back in mid-2013.
It now seems that transactions are taking an acceptable length of time to get through the various funding and legal processes.
One recent transaction represents a major boost for Derbyshire. Bowler Motorsport acquired the former Selway Print premises, an 18,000 sq ft building off Queen Street in Belper.
Bowler Motorsport is rapidly becoming a worldwide brand and, with some assistance from the Derbyshire Enterprise Growth Fund, will help cement Derbyshire's strong position as a centre for skilled engineering.
The transaction with Bowler Motorsport was not uncommon, and it was good to report a good level of owner-occupier interest.
Another project coming to fruition will be the relocation of ETS's head office and tyre distribution depot from the Amber Business Centre to Codnor Gate Industrial Estate.
We at Gadsby Orridge were instrumental in the move, advising on an exit strategy, negotiating terms for the occupation and assembling a team to deliver the development on time and on budget.
A number of companies, in particular within the industrial sector, are now presenting themselves to the marketplace with requirements, and more transactions are being reported.
It is interesting to note that for the first time for quite some time, a 100% occupancy level has been reached for the smaller starter units at Robinson Industrial Estate, off Shaftesbury Street.
This is a further sign of increased confidence and shows that companies are keen to give it a go.
Doing our day job, we do get to speak with many occupiers and the general consensus seems to be that there is improved confidence and more inquiries for orders, although this tempered slightly in that margins are still tight with strong competition for contracts.
It was interesting to note however, that a lot of these contracts emanate from London and the South-East and, at last, the Midlands area is starting to benefit from some of the economic benefits that the capital has enjoyed over the past couple of years.
We note that developments are now being bought forward which has not been the case in the preceding two-to-three years.
One of the most exciting schemes is the redevelopment of a major employment site off Ascot Drive, to be known as Wincanton Business Park.
Planning permission was submitted for the development back in December 2013.
The intention is to create a modern planned business park, looking to satisfy a latent demand for industrial space. Work has started on phase one of the development, which involved the demolition of 50,000 sq ft of manufacturing space.
What remains is to be refurbished and be divisible to provide units from 10,000 sq ft up to 100,000 sq ft. The first concept drawings have been released and there are discussions with a number of companies, both on freehold and leasehold terms.
The site has a number of attributes, not least that it is within a secure, and yet accessible location close to Pride Park.
The city's inner and outer ring-road systems are close and it has the distinct advantage of large concrete surface external areas, a rarity on most modern estates.
Ultimately, the intention is to construct a new service road and release land on a serviced basis, with plots sized between one and five acres being available.
Elsewhere, we have noticed a growth in the investment market, both from the local sector and from further afield.
A recent example of this was the sale of 35-37 Market Place in Derby, home to the Acropolis Café, IMS Lettings and St James Hair salon.
When it was auctioned, it achieved a price at a level considerably above the £440,000-to-£470,000 guide price.
Two further industrial investments with Gadsby Orridge are under offer and a healthy level of interest has been received for a block of properties off Friar Gate, which will go under Graham Penny Auctions' hammer on Thursday, April 10.
These properties comprise three bars and restaurants, together with café and vacant office space, car parking and workshop accommodation.
Offers have been received prior to the sale and it will be interesting to see how they will perform within the room.
All things equal, we believe the markets will continue to improve, although I think it is safe to say that while confidence is higher and the number of inquiries is up, values are not at a stage where they are increasing.
However, with further demand and the lack of supply of space in the market, we would anticipate a hardening of yields and there will be pressures for increased rents and prices.
To a certain extent, this is certainly what the market needs, particularly for industrial space, although there is major disparity between new build and secondhand values.
We anticipate the differential between the two is likely to reduce in the months ahead.
