GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - The president of Davenport University
has pleaded guilty to a first-time drunken-driving charge and
refusing to take a breath test during his arrest.
Fifty-one-year-old Randolph Flechsig, president of the Michigan
school, entered the plea Monday. He was not sentenced.
Grand Rapids police arrested him on Sept. 21. A blood sample
obtained with a search warrant more than two hours after the arrest
showed Flechsig had a blood-alcohol content of .09 percent, just
above the legal limit of .08 percent.
Flechsig says he hopes to use his experience to educate students
about the perils of drinking and driving.
Davenport University, which has 13,000 students, is based in
Grand Rapids, Mich.

Football fitness goals for the over 50s
Posted: April 24, 2014|
When you get to 50 you might think you are too old for football but Burton Albion Community Trust is encouraging people to rediscover the game at an older age as a way to boost health and fitness. NIGEL POWLSON decided to give it a go.
THERE comes a time in every footballer's life, whether he's named Pele or Powlson, when it feels like the right time to hang up your boots.
It might be an arthritic twinge in one of your knees, or possibly the way the opposition's 18-year-old winger nutmegs you and leaves you trailing in his wake but age, eventually, has to catch up with you.
Thankfully, there is at last an answer for footballers of a certain age, where the spirit is now more willing at times than the flesh. Burton Albion Community Trust has recognised the desire of middle aged men to feel the thrill of a ball at their feet and have now set up football sessions aimed squarely at the over 50s.
It's a chance to enjoy the game again but where you can set your own pace, free from the pressure to keep up with team mates half your age. No-one is going to mind if you ask to go in goal for a bit of a rest or drift to the sidelines to get your wind back. Although that's not to say there isn't a bit of quality and commitment shown on the pitch – it's just a bit more measured.
The sessions fit in with the community trust's overall ethos of reaching out to all sections of society and offering chances to improve fitness in an environment that's welcoming and supportive.
There's also sound advice handed out on warming up and cooling down, ensuring that aches and strains are kept to a minimum.
So when the invitation came to drop in on a session and see what it was all about, I jumped at the chance. I'd like to tell you that my colleagues at the Burton Mail selected me because of my footballing pedigree but, in truth, I was the only one old enough to qualify.
Nevertheless, I was ready and willing to play my first game in more than 12 years.
Up until my late 30s I had always played football and while a succession of England managers and Football League scouts were immune to my talents, I always fancied myself as a bit of a Franz Beckenbauer – just with less class . . . and composure . . . and talent.
Left back was my position – even though I have always been very right footed. I'd like to believe that this was me pioneering the system later used by Bayern Munich where Arjen Robben would play on the 'wrong side' but it was more to do with the fact that when I was eight I worked out that hardly anyone had a good left foot and nobody wanted to play defence. So when I said I was a left back I got into school teams by default.
Still I held onto the left back slot through my school career, into university and in a couple of works teams, only occasionally allowing my status to be turned into 'left back in the dressing room'.
Add in a bit of five a side here and there and football managed to keep middle aged spread at a reasonable distance until I had a couple of nasty little knee injuries at the same time I lost a bit of pace in my late 30s. So I took up running instead to keep fit, safe in the knowledge that I was unlikely to receive a crunching tackle from a passing pedestrian in that sport.
But I have missed football and having two girls who didn't see the attractions of a 'kickabout' didn't help.
So on a recent Tuesday night I found myself at the rather impressive sports hall at de Ferrers (it had nothing like that when I was at the old Wulfric in the 1970s) and got out my second best Burton Albion shirt (I'm saving the best one for Wembley!) and joined a session.
The over 50s football is generally overseen by Andrew Robertson from the community trust, who qualifies on age himself, but today we have Brewers striker Gary Alexander and defender David Gray, making guest visits.
It's Gary who leads the warm ups – some light jogging mixed with stretching very much as you see the Albion players do pre-match. He then put us through some routines with a ball, which helped tune us up for the match as well as sharpening our ball skills.
Then the first game was on.
And it really was like riding a bike – it all came back to me remarkably quickly. I found myself naturally ghosting into space, making overlapping runs, holding formation. After one thrilling move in which I tried a daring filck off the heel into the net (brilliantly saved alas) I was sure I heard someone shout "Messi'. Although upon reflection it may have been "messy".
I was also thwarted by the post in my attempts to get on the scoresheet but apart from my lack of goals all the joys of the great game were back there for me to enjoy.
I even managed to skillfully prevent an attacking move by trapping Gary Alexander in a corner of the sports hall. Some people no doubt will feel that the way he then turned on a six pence and sidestepped me showed the gulf in class between us but I knew I had to let him by – after all, I didn't want to dent his confidence ahead of the play offs!
Andrew Robertson, who looks after the over 50s football for the Burton Albion Community Trust, was keen to see the sessions start.
He says: "I was looking for a way of playing football again because we all miss it. I'm 58 now and even the over 35 leagues are full of youngsters. So we talked about setting this up and it seemed to hit a chord.
"We tried it out and saw that there are people out there who want to come every week and who love re-engaging with the game.
"We all start off slowly, take our time and look after each other so, whatever your level, you will enjoy it.
"But you don't have to come every week and there's no long-term commitment."
Andy Taylor, Burton Albion Community Trust manager, adds: "The programme is part of our health and wellbeing theme. We are trying to re-engage with people who are perhaps not doing the levels of activity they once might have done. We are using football as that vehicle. It's low intensity football but still competitive. There's a social element as well.
"A lot of the people have played in the past but some haven't. Our hope is it will have an impact on their future activity levels and their wider health agenda.
"It's something that's appealing. I believe that once people pluck up the courage to come through the door the first time, they will come back a second and third time. We are working closely with the football club to get players attached, we have had a sports scientist down and we have also been to St George's Park.
"We have told people what to do with their bodies to recover, especially if they are playing again for the first time.
"Sessions like this can only be of benefit and we want to encourage numbers to grow as we think it can be a very successful model. I would just encourage people to give it a go. The first session is free of charge, so there's nothing to lose.
"Exercise and movement make a big difference from increased confidence to bringing a smile to people's faces."
The sessions generally take place at de Ferrers, St Mary's Drive, Burton, on Tuesdays at 6pm. Anyone wanting more information can call Burton Albion on 01283 565938.
"I have come from the start and I'm really enjoying it. It's nice to get a ball at your feet again after all these years. Having three daughters I have not had much chance. It's 30 years since I played. I do cycle but this is definitely helping with my fitness."
"I came along to see if I could still kick a ball. I haven't kicked a ball seriously since 1998. It's a step back in time and I'm really enjoying it. I thought I was reasonably fit for a 60-year-old but I have discovered there are parts of my body which aren't.
"The opportunity to play at St George's Park and on the pitch at the Pirelli Stadium at half-time was brilliant.
"You just have to remember you aren't 25 anymore and to take things at your own pace. We have a variety of abilities but we are all getting better and fitter together."
"I wanted to get a bit fitter to keep up with my grandson when he's playing. I thought it was going to be walking football but it isn't - but after 10 weeks the fitness is coming back and the recovery time is getting less. And if you get a bit puffed in the game you just take a rest in goal. I never really played football before, it was rugby at school, so I'm really enjoying this."

Positives and Drawbacks to Aspirin Therapy are Well Documented
Aspirin's benefits as a painkiller are well documented. Its prowess at potentially staving off cancers has also been a mainstay in research.
Indeed, a study from the University of Oxford, where randomized and controlled trial data from tens of thousands of men and women were analyzed, showed that after three years of daily aspirin use, people were almost 25% less likely to develop cancer than those who did not take aspirin. After five years, the risk of a cancer-related death dropped by 37%.
Another British study found that daily aspirin use over a six and a half year average period coincided with a 36% decrease in metastatic cancer rates, and a 46% drop in cancers such as colon, lung and prostate cancer. Some studies have even found a 75% reduction in esophageal cancer.
There are many other studies that have also shown casual links between a reduced risk of lung disease and heart disease.
However, and in no way meant to scare-monger, aspirin is not without its side effects.
Daily use of the painkiller has been associated with gastrointestinal bleeding and what are known as hemorrhagic strokes, or when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain region. Other studies have also associated daily aspirin use with blindness among the elderly, specifically coinciding with an increased risk of developing "wet" age-related macular degeneration.
These dangers can be effectively managed by careful monitoring and, most scientists agree, are far outweighed by the benefits aspirin can offer, and that is why physicians continue to prescribe aspirin today.
The potential hitch for any future cancer treatments involving aspirin would obviously be how researchers would mitigate such risks. Research has also pointed out that long-term exposure to a daily dose of aspirin might decrease its negative effects so this is by no means an insurmountable issue and, given the wide array of side effects other cancer treatments are known to cause, it is unlikely aspirin's potential harms will be overly concerning for researchers beyond how to minimize such risks.
What Does The Aspirin Study Mean for Breast Cancer Patients Today?
Right now, nothing.
It can not be emphasized enough that these findings are the very first stage in an investigation into whether the humble aspirin could provide an easy and affordable means to slow one of the most dangerous forms of breast cancer and help in the treatment of breast cancer as a whole. The study is not a green flag to abandon other forms of cancer treatment, nor is it a call to take up a daily aspirin routine without first consulting with a physician.
However, the study does provide yet another thread to follow in the continued battle against cancer. What is especially interesting about aspirin as a cancer inhibitor is how cheap and affordable it is, and how possibly revolutionary to our health an aspirin-based treatment for cancer could be.
Care2 has a range of articles detailing triple negative breast cancer from a survivor's perspective. You can read about her journey, complete with detailed information on the treatments and procedures she went through in her personal struggle with this disease through the links below.

I guess aspirin in low dose is less toxic than a lot of other synthesized drugs and if you get the cancer you can at least live to fight another day of another malady IF it comes along. We need some human testing to back up the data.
"COULD" being the keyword. Let me know when the RESULTS are in
Wow, another great use for aspirin!
Sounds encouraging.
Thanks Steve for the very informative article. This information is news to me and I'm glad to hear it.
Better to take aspirin than not I think
Thanks for sharing.
This is weird 'cos I just read an article on the 5 most dangerous pain meds. Here's no. 5
(just goes to show how corrupt big pharma and research can be)
Think aspirin is safe? Think again!
Higher doses or prolonged use at the lower dose even in buffered or coated form can double your likelihood of perforated ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Research shows 90-95% of Reyes Syndrome cases were preceded by taking aspirin. The disease devastates internal organs, particularly the brain and liver, and at least 10% of those affected will die even with early treatment.
Pain medications and adverse drug reactions are the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.... only behind heart disease, cancer and strokes!
Great benefits from low dose aspirin. I take one a day for my heart.

Sooo I am more or less a cash shop hater. I feel like just about every MMO cash shop I see has some kind of issue with it. Even fairly innocuous cash shops like purely cosmetic ones can take the fun out of working to achieve your gear, since you can just buy it instead.
BUT, there is one cash shop model that I have zero problems with whatsoever, and I really hope that it becomes the dominant model in the future.
I'm not sure if this model has a specific name, but I call it the "Pure Horizontal" model. By horizontal, I mean that if you consider actually advancing through the game with any given character to be "vertical," then horizontal would be the amount of options you have to advance through the game. So in a pure horizontal cash shop, no vertical progression is ever inhibited, and no advantages or "special treatment" over other players is ever sold.
In a pure horizontal cash shop, you are selling the player options. A great example of this is how you can buy new characters in LoL. If you wanted, you could literally not spend a dime in LoL, get really good with one of the default heroes, and even become a tournament level player. The players vertical progression with the options they have available is not diminished at all, but can spend money in the CS to open more options for themselves.
An MMORPG example of this kind of CS implemented in a game, would be a game that was F2P, but you only get one character slot to start. You can go through the game with your one character without restriction, but if you ever want to play another character, you would have to buy another slot. Obviously, the CS would have to be expanded upon with different horizontal restrictions for F2P players and cash shop options, but you get the jist.
I feel like this kind of CS is the best because has none of the typical problems attributed teh cash shops, like P2W or deliberately grindy game-design, but it encourages the player to spend money since most players like to experience different options in the game.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

How is more character slots horizontial? All I see is a publisher selling you more inventory space.

You mean in certain mmorpg, you can't play certain class because it's locked, and you need to pay extra to play it?
No, I want my option. I dont' want them to lock everything so I can't enjoy the option.
I see what you are getting at Creslin. With a F2P model, you could run 1 character through the whole game, with no artificial obstacles thrown in your path to "entice" you to buy the cash shop "artificial obstacle removers", per se. If you'd like to run another character through, pay for another character slot. That makes sense.
However, aren't the alt-itis players being targeted here, to pay for the rest of the F2P players' fun? I tried looking at the other play types (raiding, grouping, crafting, PvPing, soloing, PvEing, etc.) and could not find a way to "tax" them without throwing artificial barriers in their way (such as limited number of raids/week, limited number of PvP activities per week or month, etc.). Is there a way to charge the other play styles in a cash shop without throwing artificial barriers in the way?
PS: I, too, hate cash shops with a passion :) I yearn for the days when my money for the box price used to give me the whole game, not just bits and pieces of it.

The best cash shop I've yet seen was actually so hated RMAH. It has way smaller influence on game itself as in order to get profit devs need people to play game, so nasty restrictions are actually hard to apply. It's goes like this:
Game being no fun -> less people playing -> less people selling items for RL -> less profit.
While in regular F2P it/s more like that:
Game being no fun -> people go to cash shop -> get P2W effect(feeling superior to those who don't pay) -> profit.
Surely I agree that LoL system is really nice and not P2W. But I have to yet see quality MMO that doesn't develop game around it's cash shop. I mean sure it always starts nice with promises of convenience not advantage, but somewhere along the way $ temptation is just too big. Reason is simple - monopoly and unlimited supply results in greed and changing game so it offers more and more incentive to go to cash shop. Not mention exclusive items that people can't get in the game(RMAH can't have cash shop exclusive items).
RMAH of course isn't completely free from influencing gameplay, as devs want people to trade rare items, thus making game more loot-centirc. But if properly masked it can fit in gameplay nicely and they can't overdo it, cause they need healthy population with new people coming to make profit. I see it as lesser evil.
Anyways yeah, what was suggested in OP would be best cash shop, but I simply think it's not possible in reality(at least in MMOs).

And which game you talking about that use RMAH?
If you mean diablo 3. The effect is minimum because it's a solo game with no pvp.

The merchandise and RMAH rules of course could be different in order to make whole deal more balanced while maintaining profit for both sides. PvP doesn't really change that as long it's properly desinged(skill being as important as gear).

Your tears make my gun work better.
I think what you are getting at, your point, is going to be the future. Planetsdie 2 and The Secret World are both games that come to mind with your 'horizontal' cash shop model.
People will not tolerate pay to win for long, but people love to buy new costumes for their toons and I think game dev companies are starting to see this. Being able to customize your look and even your playstyle, without being able to acquire an advantage over another player that chooses to just grind it out, is all good in my book.
So yeah comsmetic or 'sidegrade' cash shops = the future imo. Pay2win...dying in the gutter I hope.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

But as far as your horizontal model goes? Players who don't like cash shops still wouldn't like cash shops. There's people complaining over GW2 "only" offering 5 default character slots and making player pay for more like its a heinous and unreasonable act. LoL heroes have a pokemon appeal, but real mmorpg characters and classes don't have that at all. You aren't picking just which hero you're going to play for this next game, you're picking a character that represents you in a persistant world for the next few weeks/months/or if you really like it: years. Not to mention the people who are unsure about what class they want to play, what if they decide midway that they don't like their class? Do they have to buy another slot or lose all their progress with this character? What if they don't really like the next class? If the player keeps finding situations full of lose/lose choices and buyer's remorse, how long are they going to stick with a game?
Honestly? I really doubt there is any one-size-fits-all payment model that will suit every game and gamer, and so "best" is purely subjective and is only accurate on the individual level.

I cannot argue with your statements.
I would add to them that I like the idea virtual land ownership as well. I wish I could remember the name of the MMORPG, but you could buy or maybe rent a plot of land. Nothing else was restricted in the game. On that plot of land you could build more or less anything you wanted. It was a 2.5d, UO-ish game. Anyway, I thought that was a really good way to have a cash shop.
** edit **
Link Realms! That's the name of the game I was talking about. The game was free to play and everyone had the same character progression, but players could buy realms where they could build castles, dungeons, farms, etc.

The example I proposed definitely does target alt-itis players, but I think it could developed further to not specifically target them as much.
Also...my ideal microtransaction model would be one that also allowed players to buy a $50-$60 "package" outright that would give them what would be expected of a B2P game. Like maybe you get 10 character slots for $60 flat-out, or you can buy them individually for $8...once again, simplified example, but you get my drift.
Basically, I think that a microtransaction model should be aimed at giving players more options on how they want to purchase the game, not less. They can purchase it in traditionally B2P fashion, or they can purchase it in "horizontal pieces" if they want.
One of the things I hate about many F2P models is that they take away the traditional B2P option...and a lot of times, I just don't want to deal with the cash shop. I would like to be able to just pay my $50 and opt-out of it all together if I really like the game.

That's silly. There's nothing inherently wrong with micro-transactions. I think Creslin is on to something with the idea that money should not affect vertical character progression. That's really what people are afraid of with cash shops.

It doesn't immediately follow that having micro-transactions will lead to the game becoming focused on the micro-transactions and nothing else. There will be references in the game to whatever micro-transactions are available. This makes sense, especially since players prefer to make whatever purchases they're going to make in the game itself. The influence micro-transactions have on development is a choice that developers make while they are working on the game. It isn't automatic.
There are a lot of different ways to go about advertising a cash shop. You can be overt, like Family Guy Online, with popups that tell you developing the game isn't free and you should buy something from the cash shop. You can be covert, like Star Trek Online with the boxes that you have to buy a key for in the cash shop, or you can be something else, like Link Realms, where you don't really notice the cash shop in the game unless you want to buy some land. I have no real idea how it works in other games.
I do think developers would be tempted to lead players to the cash shop. I think they would be tempted into coercing players into buying things, especially if they think they can get away with it. How it all plays out is a choice.

But they're still games :/

Games today are just so structured around only a fixed amount (usually 1) of progression.
Horizontal to me means more than that. It is one starting location that has many routes to get somewhere else. Vertical is all about you need to do this, in order to this, and you need to do that to get here (fail in many games).
Developers balk at horizontal games, but .. shoot .. if you want to get customers this is what is needed. Past attempts have been PVE vs PVP to each get to some end ... but True Horizontal means more than that .. give 100 different activities to appeal to a large crowd, with each member capable of reaching the end.
End note, Horizontal is a good thing - Vertical drives players away.

West Allis recognizes beauty award-winning properties
Former mayor's home among those honored
West Allis — The eight winners of Awards for Attractive Properties and the three winners of Proclamations of Commendations for Most Patriotic Property were honored by the West Allis Common Council recently.
The West Allis Beautification Committee chooses the winners annually — normally from eight to 10 nominations in each of the city's five aldermanic districts.
This year the home of former mayor Jeannette Bell and husband Chet, 2922 S. 103rd St., was a beautification award winner.
Competition on her street has been stiff, said Pat Wolfe, a Beautification Committee member. Two years ago, a home north of her on 103rd Street won and last year a home south of her won, Wolfe said.
The other winners of Commendation Awards for Attractive Properties are Laura Apkarian, 804 S. 112th St.; Erland and Virgina Froholdt, 2879 S. 104th St.; John and Debra Kuether, 2817 S. 103rd St.; Marlene Redmerski, 2331 S. 85th St.; Robert Suwyn, 6508 W. Mitchell St.; Paul and Virginia Wilcox, 2209 S. 109th St.; and Big Dogs Sports Grill (Karen Schoenfeld and Gary Jackowski), 9427 W. Greenfield Ave.
The Most Patriotic Award for Memorial Day went to Kathleen McGrogan, 2225 S. 68th St.; for Flag Day, Julianne Opalewski, 1649 S. 68th St.; and for the Fourth of July, Paul Olszewski and Mary Nyback, 2067 S. 77th St.
Awards also were given previously to homes with the most attractive porches.
The Beautification Committee scores each property according to certain criteria. Among other things, the committee looks at the entire property, not just the front.
"Some fronts are absolutely outstanding, but the back — yikes," Wolfe said.
A house can only win every 10 years, she said.
Evaluating all the nominees is time-consuming, Wolfe said, but the veteran committee member looks forward to it.
"This is a highlight of the year," she said.
Director of forestry Michael Rushmer is chairman of the committee.

SEBRING - For Marisol and Terry Dudley of Sebring, the birth of their sixth child Wednesday was at least to some degree a New Year's surprise.
The mother said she was told a medical procedure she had would prevent her from having another child, "but here she is anyways."
Elizabeth Grace Dudley was the first child born on New Year's Day at Florida Hospital Heartland Division at 9:46 a.m. She weighed 5 pounds, 8 ounces and was 19 inches long.
The family arrived around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday and the pregnancy ended up being induced, the mother said.
Earlier this year, the mother said, she had some signs that indicated she might be pregnant. When an ultrasound confirmed that, and it was determined the baby was already 16 weeks old, the mother said she was really surprised.
"I had to sit down," she remembered.
The father was also surprised. "I was in disbelief," he said.
The mother believes God was behind her having another child despite her medical situation.
"That's the only explanation for her," she said.
Although after having five children Dudley knew the drill, she said, the pregnancy wasn't any easier.
After being born Elizabeth looked around at her surroundings, the mother said.

I played in a "Three Club Tourney" yesterday. Shot an 88. It was a fund raiser type event for Juvenile Diabetes, and there were about 35 entries. I think I finished 21st.
My weapons of choice were my 5W, 6I, and my AW. I chose my 5W just to get some extra work with it. It also doubled as my putter. I am also able to use my AW out of the sand, up to 80 yard shots. The 6I was just a pick, and wish club.
Anyone else ever play in these for fun tournaments? If so, what three clubs do you use?

Photograph Details
Death rays
Manta rays and their smaller cousins, mobula rays, have until recently escaped the ravages of major fisheries, as their flesh has always been regarded as poor quality. But in recent years, the feathery gill rakers of the filter-feeding rays have become highly desirable in the Chinese medicine trade, often consumed in soup, like shark fins. The soaring value of the rakers has resulted in massive, unsustainable catches in Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, which is where Thomas took this photograph. Climbing onto the roof of a fish market, he used a long exposure to blur the moving crowd of traders while keeping the mobula ray carcasses in sharp focus. These ancient animals are slow breeders - a female might not mate until she is 15 years old and might give birth to only 10-16 pups in a 40-year lifetime, if she avoids being caught. The problem is that as surface feeders, rays are easy to spot, and because of their habit of aggregating in huge groups in regular feeding places or at cleaning stations, whole populations are easily wiped out. Conservationists see ecotourism as one way of giving a different value to coastal ray populations and see publicity for their rapid decline as vital if fisheries are to be regulated.

Javea Golf Club is a five minute drive away. Guests can enjoy an afternoon of golf on the full length 9-hole course.

There is a practice green, driving range, 2 tennis courts and a large swimming pool for children, club-house with 2 bars, a restaurant, TV and card room, changing rooms and caddy area. Then perhaps a meal and a drink afterwards on the terrace whilst watching the sun go down over the Montgo mountain. The bar and food service is excellent. We highly recommend it.
La Sella Golf Club, Denia is only a 15 minute drive away and is located next to the Montgo Nature Reserve it has unparalleled views of the countryside, with the mountains as a backdrop. The course itself is set in Mediterranean woodlands, and overall is an attractive offering. An 18 hole par 72 course of balanced difficulty, La Sella has proved popular both amongst locals & visitors to the area. Facilities at the club include; Club house, restaurant & cafeteria, sauna, changing rooms, & tennis courts. In addition the La Sella horse riding school operates nearby. So after a grouling 18 holes why not treat yourself to a well earned drink in the club house.

The Hotel "Gym" is a Joke
Many business travelers say it's nearly impossible to find a hotel with a decent gym. Too often, the "state-of-the-art exercise facility" the brochure crows about is a supply closet with a 15-year-old NordicTrack.
Solve the problem: Make reservations without reservation Lack of decent workout space might be the most common travel problem, but it's one of the easiest to solve. Try these tips:
Book the right hotel. Visit www.fitforbusiness.com. The site rates the top hotel workout facilities in 280 cities around the world and provides a list of hotels that offer free access to local health clubs.
Use your room. Try the go-anywhere workout on the next spread. It's the best we've seen for mimicking a free-weight program.
Find a gym nearby. Use the Men's Health Gym Finder to locate fitness clubs, health centers, gyms, and sports groups wherever you are traveling.
If all else fails, swim. Even if the hotel pool isn't big enough for laps, just tread water for 14 minutes. Research shows that's enough activity for a 180-pound man to burn 200 calories.

Pork Steaks or Pork Chops? Don't Get Murdered; Get the Facts
|Image via
|St. Louis-style pork steaks; let's agree to agree!
Our city has a history of food-related murders, including one just last week involving a bag Cheetos. But pork steaks are a staple of St. Louis-style barbecue, and thus widespread.
So hey, neighbors: Let's maybe get on the same page about f--king pork steaks.
Clearly, Cunningham and his uncle, Lessie E. Lowe, were not, and here's what can happen, according to the Post-Dispatch (who broke the story):
|John Cunningham, accused "pork steak" murderer
Cunningham said [the cuts] were pork steaks, police said. Lowe disagreed.First of all, the PD deserves some kind of award for that part in bold font. More importantly: What made Cunningham correct? What is a pork steak?
After the argument became physical about 1 a.m. Monday, the two had to be separated by someone else in the home, police say. Cunningham went to another part of the home, grabbed a shotgun and shot Lowe, police said.
Lowe died later at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Cunningham, who was correct about the meat, was taken into custody. [Emphasis added by us]
We called Joe LeGrand, co-owner of LeGrand's Market in St. Louis Hills. He says it's pretty simple.

Kip's Corner 2008-09: Bearcat Hoop Internet Release #8
Bearcats Look to End Three-Game Skid Friday at Home versus Lutes:
Head Coach Gordie James and his staff will try to find the right answers to a three-game losing streak when the Willamette University men's basketball team returns to action on Friday, Jan. 30 by hosting the Lutes of Pacific Lutheran University at Cone Fieldhouse.
WU is coming off consecutive home losses to George Fox University and Linfield College, sandwiched around a blowout loss to league leader the University of Puget Sound on the road in Tacoma, Wash. Tipoff for Friday's date with the Lutes is 8 p.m. (PST), following the women's game at 6 p.m.
Just Past the Halfway Point
Willamette is currently 8-8, 4-5 on the season, and with seven league games to go, the Northwest Conference portion of the schedule is already just past the halfway point. The following is a look at what has gone right for WU thus far this year, and some issues that need addressing if the Bearcats are to make a run at one of the four NWC Tournament spots available at season's end:
* Cameron Mitchell is amongst the conference leaders in scoring (16.8 points per game) and field goal percentage (55.8%). He leads the NWC in rebounding (10.7 avg).
* Kyler McClary is averaging 15 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game.
* Marcus Holmes is fifth in the NWC in 3-point shooting at 45.5%.
* Robbie Kunke is fifth in the conference in assists at 4.63 per game.
* Scott Schoettgen, Holmes, and Josh Erickson have provided 20 points per game for the 'Cats off the bench.
* Willamette has three road wins (PLU, Linfield, Lewis and Clark) in NWC play
* Nick Babij, in his first year starting, has provided solid defense on some of the NWC's most dangerous offensive threats.
* Corey Costantino is averaging close to 10 points per game while shooting 49% from the floor.
* WU closes the year with four of its last seven games at home
* WU continues to get great support from the home fans, as the Bearcats are at the top of the NWC in total attendance and second in home attendance.
Areas That Need Addressing
* Willamette has already lost three home games in NWC play (Whitworth, George Fox, and Linfield).
* Willamette is shooting only 67.4% from the free throw line as a team.
* WU is giving up 46.9% shooting from the field.
* The Bearcats as a team are only even in assists-to-turnover ratio.
* Cameron Mitchell and Corey Costantino are among the league leaders in fouls.
* During their current three-game skid, the Bearcats have faced double-digit deficits in the first five minutes of each game.
* WU still must face difficult road games at Whitworth, Whitman, and George Fox.
* Willamette currently sits in fifth place, with only four NWC teams qualifying for the league's postseason tournament.
Race for the Crown
Here is a look at the standings in the NWC. Remember, the top four teams at the end of the season advance to the NWC Tournament, with the winner of the tourney getting an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Puget Sound, 8-0 NWC, 15-2 Overall
Lewis & Clark, 6-2 NWC, 12-5 Overall
Whitworth, 5-3 NWC, 13-4 Overall
Linfield, 5-4 NWC, 7-11 Overall
Willamette, 4-5 NWC, 8-8 Overall
Pacific (Ore.), 3-5 NWC, 8-8 Overall
Pacific Lutheran, 2-6 NWC, 8-9 Overall
George Fox, 2-6 NWC, 6-11 Overall
Whitman, 2-6 NWC, 6-11 Overall
Heavy Lifting
Senior Kyler McClary has done his part to keep the Bearcats afloat, leading the team in scoring in four of the last five games, and upping his rebounding average in conference play to almost seven rebounds per game. McClary tied a career high with 30 points against George Fox on Friday, Jan. 23.
Still Kickin'
One benefit of the newly expanded NWC Tournament is that down the stretch of league play, a few more teams will be alive for the fourth and final tournament berth. This season, Linfield currently occupies the final slot in the field, but every other NWC team is within two games of the Wildcats in the loss column, making the final round of league play all the more interesting.
Catch the 'Cats
For all the fans of the Bearcats who cannot get to the games in person, Full Access Sports will be providing a live internet webcast of all the Willamette men's and women's basketball games during the conference season. Mike Allegre typically supplied the play-by-play, but Craig Spivey will be filling in on Friday, Jan. 30 for the games against Pacific Lutheran. Follow the link below to access Bearcat action!

Scouting the Opponents
Pacific Lutheran University is member of the Northwest Conference and also competes in NCAA Division III. The Lutes of Head Coach Steve Dickerson are coming off a loss on Tuesday night (Jan. 27) to Pacific University and are currently 8-9 overall, 2-6 in the NWC. Pacific Lutheran is led in scoring by Josh Dressler and Kyle McTaggert, who average 18.8 and 12.0 points per game, respectively. Willamette defeated the Lutes in Tacoma, 88-70, on Jan. 2.

I got back a few days back from a Labor (Day) Week…
Price Paid: $40
I got back a few days back from a Labor (Day) Week hike. I was looking up the manufacturer to send a thank you for a great product. I'm that kind of guy. Then I came across some reviews, and thought I would share my experience with others.
I hiked Grand Canyon and we used an Outsak. It was suggested to us at the permit desk at the park. Previously all I have used is a nylon bag, or I would sleep with my food. The rangers weren't trying to sell me one, just suggested that I think about how I was going to store my food. They mentioned rodents and ringtails like to raid campsites. They showed me a mesh bag that stops small animals from getting at your food. I bought a medium.
That night, in out hotel room, we looked at the manufacturer's website www.simpleoutdoorstore.com and they had some suggestions, in video form, of how to use the bag properly. Very helpful stuff.
I bought one, hesitantly, every penny counts these days. We used it for 3 nights/4 days. It worked wonderfully. On two nights we were able to hang it, on the third we left it on the ground(mostly trash in there at that point) and all seemed find. It got a bit wrinkled along the way, but I can see it making it through several more trips.
On the last morning we woke up before the sun was up, and I could swear the ravens were waiting for us to leave our site. They were stalking us, preparing for a raid at dawn. Too bad we had our Outsak, the bag trusted to be sold at Grand Canyon.
The Outsak is a great product. On a trip to Utah (Escalante)…
Price Paid: $39.99 w free shipping
The Outsak is a great product.
On a trip to Utah (Escalante) I recently took along an Outsak, Animal Resistant Storage Bag. It is made by a small company in Flagstaff, AZ. It is a stainless steel mesh sack that keeps small animals from penetrating your food storage.
We did about 25 miles trip over 4 days, using this bag as our primary means of food protection. We viewed the videos on the Simple Outdoor Solutions website, and followed their suggestions. We packed our food in lightweight odor proof bags, and put those inside a nylon bag, which we put inside an Outsak.
The whole bundle was put out of sight during the day, and at night we either elevated it any way we could (hanging from hiking pole wedged in crack, put it on top of a high rock) or we stacked rocks around it. On each night we woke up hearing animals nearby, each morning we saw tracks in camp.
We have only one confirmed attack on the Outsak and it apparently did what it was designed to do, keep out critters. Something kind of moved the wires around a bit, but didn't get to any food, not even the edge of a wrapper.
This is a piece of gear that will go on all future backpacking trips. It is lightweight (medium 9 oz 1600 cubic inch capacity) and durable. Usually a combination that doesn't go together. The top closes with a thick velcro, the bag itself is a tightly woven stainless steel mesh that most small animals cant chew through. There is a small loop on the end to aid in hanging and it also works well as a spot to start to get the bag open.
5 stars for this one. I do a lot of backpacking and hiking. I just discovered how wonderful Southern Utah is, and this Outsak bag is the perfect addition for all my future trips.

I love this bag. It was shown to me by a friend and I can't stop saying good things about it. I've seen first hand how it stops critters. We had an animal prowl our site, somehow got to our hung Outsak bag, but it couldn't get in...HA!!

The good doctor took home the hardware everyone knew he deserved. Besides pacing the National League, how did he fare against his career totals?
- 21 wins were his second most ever, 1 behind his 2003 campaign. Fact is, he could have made one more start at the end of the season and equaled that total if not for being on a playoff team.
- 1.04 WHIP was his second lowest to his 2005 campaign when he had a 0.96 WHIP.
- 219 strikeouts were a career high by 11.
- 205 innings pitched were his second highest total since 2003.
- 9 complete games were tied for the most in his career.
- 30 walks were his third lowest total.
I predicted 24 wins for him at the start of the season and I was 3 off. However, he had FIVE losses when he allowed 3 or less earned runs. If this offense had come through on those days, he was looking at mid 20s.
Jose Contreras: I'm actually shocked at how pissed people are about this signing. They forget that he was out best arm out of the bullpen for a part of the season. He went 6-4 with 4 saves and 13 holds and sported a 3.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. I really think they got him for cheap considering he showed closer stuff and there are so few closing options out there. But 2 years, $5.5 million is a deal for good bullpen pitching.
Sorry about the commercial:

I'm a single 25 year old that just moved to California. I'm a theatrical technician that travels the US hopping from job to job. My job right now can be high stress and little time off. And I'm pretty poor, so all these things add up to bad eating habits. I love to cook, but with only one day off a week, I'm usually exhausted. I've joined the gym in September and was going 3 times a week, and then Thanksgiving and Christmas happened. So back on the bandwagon with 2007.

It was a rainy day and I didn't want to drown walking to Yama for lunch so I gave it a shot. The there wasn't anything particularly innovative about the menu and the cheapest thing on it was the $30 prix fixe, which I tried. It eneded up being 1/2 a miso soup, a decent mesclun salad with small amounts of other things in it (a cranberry, 1/3 slice grapefruit, a mushroom) and a chirashi as a main course which was so small I had to do a double take. The slices were paper thin and about 2" long, not that there were more than 10 pieces altogether, plus it wasn't the freshest fish I'd ever had either (especially the mackarel. I was so hungry when I was done I had to eat an apple when I got back to my desk. The atmosphere was nice enough and they had an attentive wait staff, but it was not a good value at all. With Yama so close by (and I went there a few days later just to cleanse my palate) this establishment is not the best that Union Square has to offer by a long shot and I don't understand all they hype, nor do I see it lasting very long. Good luck...you'll need it!

just eat the sushi. don't order appetizers or main courses. get the sushi omakasi and order some extra pieces. i asked the waiter for some saki recommendation from their extensive list and he was smug about it.

Walking in you feel at ease straight away. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place, not too noisy like most ny restaurants. The sake we selected was not available and there were no other small bottles so had to order by the glass. Waitress was a little impatient with our order in the beginning but turned out to be very helpful. Had japanese snapper with ponzu as one of the appetizers which was very good. Sashimi was unbelievable fresh though the chu-toro was extremely fishy that i didnt even dare to touch the oh-toro. The organic natto roll was very good and i loved the saba sushi. We had quite a lot of food but the bill wasnt really worth it. It is a good place for a quiet traditional japanese meal if u have the money for it.

I'd read great reviews about this place so went with 4 friends for dinner recently for a lateish---8:45, reservation. Sat us almost 20 minutes late.... no big deal if they hadn't dared to, while we were still waiting for our entrees, tell us that the kitchen was closing and it was last call for food. Our bill, when it came, was over $700. When people are spending that kind of money, the kitchen should close when they're ready to go, and not before. And beyond this they forgot orders, made it nearly impossible to get a drink, couldn't remember who had what when they brought it to the table and just generally did an offensively poor job, considering the price. and the food, while okay, was nothing that special. also seems weird that in a restuarant that has some esoteric fish you can't request a tasting menu or ask for the roster from the chef to be either more adventurous or conservative. overall just got the feeling that this restaurant doesn't give a darn about the customer. boo!

I was excited to try this new restaurant started by the Jewel Bako sushi chef last night. The first warning sign was that our server kept trying to get us to order expensive appetizers - and then berated us for being "boring" for ordering edemame. We each had the Sushi Omakase with 10 pieces of sushi. The sushi was all solid, though not exceptional enough to warrant the price. They never brought us the soups that were supposed to accompany the selection, but the real kicker came at the end of the meal. We told our sushi chef that we were full and finished and sipped at our wine. Several minutes later he plops a piece of tuna fin on each of our plates and says "Try this." We didn't ask for it, we weren't given a choice whether or not we wanted it, and it was physically placed on our dirty plates - so we could only assume it was a sampling from the chef. But $24 later on the bill, it was not. They also refilled my wine glass with a different, and more expensive wine (when I asked for the same).

Though the other mentioned sushi restaurants like kuruma are worthy of mention, we have been to them ALL. There is truly nothing better than a sushi bar experience with masato. It is what sushi enthusiasts dream about and he makes it a simple reality. Happy is what we are when we go and when we leave.

This place has superb traditional tokyo zushi. The Omekasa is excellent and overall a great value. The Chef Masato is a rare talent. I highly reccomend sitting at the sushi bar and getting the Omekasa. You will not be dissappointed. The decor is nothing special but it is like Veritas where it allows the food to be the focus. I still prefer Kuruma for the hardcore zushi experience, but this place is my #2 in NYC and compared to Kuruma you don't have to take a mortgage out to pay for it.
