Trying to find the best Steakhouses in Savannah? 10Best has you covered. Our editors and locals search the city and suburbs for the top places. Then, we showcase popular restaurants like Chart House, and we highlight eateries with great user reviews, like Belford's. We also help you find areas where Steakhouses are prominent - Historic District, for example - so that you not only get terrific dining recommendations, but you also have choices to boot. After all, if you're going to eat, you may as well do it right and take advantage of Savannah's best.
Set in a historic building that boasts exposed brick walls, arched windows, and vintage photographs, Belford's is a local mainstay. And while it offers terrific steaks, it also makes a brisk business of serving incredible seafood dishes. Start with a hefty crab cake enlivened with spiced tomato jam and lemon aioli before moving to Cajun lobster ravioli, grilled mahi mahi, blackened salmon with crawfish béarnaise sauce, or shrimp, greens, and grits, a Low Country favorite that goes upscale with Chardonnay butter sauce. If you're in the mood for red meat, premium steaks come with your choice of sauce, green vegetable, and the house's buttermilk garlic mashed potatoes. Sunday brunch includes great choices including a blue crab frittata, eggs Benedict, omelets, and salads. (912-233-2626)
17 Hundred 90 Inn and Restaurant
A historic mansion dating from 1790, this property was restored and opened as an inn in 1976. Its restaurant recalls a brick-and-beams tavern, and its excellent American Continental menu features dishes like pecan-crusted grouper, coq au vin, and crab-stuffed shrimp. You'll also find a half-roasted duckling, veal medallions, and a NY strip with sun-dried tomato butter. Happy hour specials attract crowds to the inn's lounge, which (like the property itself) is apparently haunted by the ghost of a lovesick young woman. (912-236-7122, 800-487-1790)
Chart House
This reputable restaurant, which has several locations across the U.S., occupies a historic 18th-century stone warehouse and offers a beautiful view of the Savannah River. It does offer exemplary steaks, including a succulent prime rib, but the Chart House specializes in seafood. Among its popular options are macadamia-crusted shrimp, tilapia topped with crabmeat and pan-seared sea scallops. Crab legs and lobster tail are also constant hits. For dessert, the hot chocolate lava cake made with Godiva liqueur and served with Heath bar crunch and vanilla ice cream is a must, and an ample selection of wines and whiskey adds to the appeal. (912-234-6686)
Olde Pink House
Legend has it that several ghosts haunt the 18th-century Georgian mansion that is home to the Olde Pink House. While it may be tempting to be on the lookout for those rumored spirits, diners will undoubtedly be distracted by the excellent food and cozy ambience that have made this one of the city's most popular restaurants. The Southern-influenced cuisine is always flavorful and features a large selection of fish, beef, pork and chicken dishes. Among the standout seafood entrees is the crispy scored flounder with apricot shallot sauce, which has been a mainstay on the menu for years. The "BLT" salad, a twist on the traditional BLT sandwich that incorporates fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon and black pepper thyme buttermilk dressing, was featured on the Food Network Show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." The restaurant's signature praline basket filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with berries is the perfect way to end the meal. (912-232-4286)
The Sapphire Grill
One of Savannah's best fine dining restaurants, Sapphire Grill features superb cuisine enlivened with local ingredients, not to mention an extensive wine list. Located in a venerable building with an exterior of Savannah grey brick and an interior of stainless steel and glass, it's a city mainstay. Enjoy a glass of wine at the bar, or have an intimate dinner upstairs, enjoying a veal strip loin, rack of lamb, seared tuna mignon, or Niman Ranch pork osso bucco. The restaurant has received numerous awards, including recognition from DiRoNa, and has garnered praise in countless magazines and television shows. (912-443-9962)
Aqua Star
Located in the exclusive Westin resort, this dining room offers a beautiful view of the city. The kitchen specializes in premium seafood and steak dishes. Start off with she crab soup, and then dig into the signature filet, wrapped in applewood bacon. If you're still hungry, the dessert menu boasts an exquisite crème brûlée. Sunday brunch is also popular. (912-201-2000, 912-201-2085)

Starter Jon Leicester was tagged for 11 runs over three-plus innings as the T-Padres were routed in the second game of a four-game series with the Mariners' top club.
Leicester opened the fourth inning with back-to-back walks before yielding to Aaron Poreda. The lefty, who has fought control problems since coming into the organization as part of the Jake Peavy trade, proceeded to issue three more walks and a wild pitch in the inning. On the year, he has surrendered 31 free passes in 30 innings of work.
Rehabbing catcher Nick Hundley went 0-for-1 with a walk and run scored in four innings of work. Will Venable was 2-for-4 with a homer and five RBIs. He has loved the environment in Tucson with 11 hits in 25 at-bats, but has just one single in six games on the road since his demotion.
San Antonio defeats Springfield 4-3
The Missions, who are making a habit of walk-off wins, plated two in the bottom of the ninth to claim their fourth last-second victory in five days. After James Darnell slugged his 12th homer of the year to open the ninth inning, Vincent Belnome reached on a walk. Bryan Altman replaced him on the basepaths, ultimately coming around to score on a throwing error by third baseman Zack Cox.
Although he didn't factor in the decision, starter Anthony Bass tossed five innings of one-hit ball in his return to Double-A after an emergency start for Tucson last week. The 23-year-old righty struck out six on the afternoon, turning in his second straight performance without allowing a walk.
Outfielder Sawyer Carroll connected for his eighth homer of the season to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. During the streak, he's posted a .395/434/767 line. He also dropped a key sacrifice bunt in the ninth inning to advance Belnome. After a hugely disappointing 2010 season, the University of Kentucky product is rebounding very well in a return performance in San Antonio. The left-handed slugger has a 935 OPS through 47 games this year, though his round-tripper was the first at Wolff Stadium.
Elsinore defeated by Lancaster 12-6
The Storm offense had one comeback in them on Sunday, as they came back from an early 6-0 deficit to tie the game in the fifth inning, but the JetHawks put the game out of reach with a five spot in the eighth inning.
Starter Michael Watt was tagged for six earned runs over four innings of work. For the first time this year, the 22-year-old lefty avoided giving up a walk, but he surrendered a season-high 10 hits, including a grand slam. The former first-round pick continues to rack up a strikeout per inning of work – he now sits just one behind Matt Lollis for the team lead this year – but has been victimized by big innings.
Catcher Jason Hagerty continued his recent torrid hitting, going 2-for-3 with a double to push his season line up to .331/.395/.541. The switch-hitter, who did most of his damage in the second half last year, has been heating up as the season moves on again this year, reaching base in his last 17 games.
Fort Wayne loses to Kane County 7-1
The Tin Caps got another great starting pitching effort on their way to a sweep of the Cougars at home. Starter Mark Hardy followed the recipe he's used all year, giving up just two hits and one walk in holding Kane County off the board for six innings. Although the 23-year-old lefty has struck out just 24 hitters over 46 innings of work, including two yesterday, he has walked only twelve, helping him toward a 2.54 ERA.
Second baseman Tyler Stubblefield led the club with a 3-for-4 performance that included a pair of doubles. The 2010 draftee joined the club earlier in the week when Pat McKenna went the DL with a broken hand and started back-to-back games over the weekend.
Luis Domoromo capped the Tincaps scoring with a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. While the 19-year-old Venezuelan has continued to get on base at a steady pace – he's maintaining a .306 average with an OBP of .381 – but the knock was just his second extra-base hit in his last 10 games.

Police arrest Megan's Law offender after tip call
Police looking for offenders who failed to re-register
Published 8:46 PM EDT Sep 05, 2013
One of the seven Megan's Law offenders Lancaster police were looking for who failed to re-register has been arrested.
Police say after receiving a tip call, Robert Sviben was picked up in Harrisburg.
Lancaster police are still looking for six other men.
New Megan's Law requirements were passed by the state legislature last year. It gave offenders until March 20 to check in. That was almost six months ago.
Lancaster police say they have tried to contact the six at their homes many times, but their current location is a mystery.

NEW YORK - Another famous Trump is getting a reality TV show. This time, it's Ivana's turn.
The ex-model, ex-CEO and ex-wife of real estate mogul Donald Trump will host a two-hour dating reality special - the working title is "Ivana Young Man" - this fall on Fox. Trump will select eight twentysomething bachelors who will compete for the affection of a successful but lonely fortysomething woman.
"For years, rich older men have traded in their wives for pretty young women with bigger 'attributes,"' Mike Darnell, executive vice president of specials and alternative programming for Fox, said in a statement.
"Thanks to women like Ivana Trump, Demi Moore and Cher, the social norms are changing, and mature women are finding that true love can happen with younger men."
On The Net:
"Mature women are finding true love can happen with younger men."
Mike Darnell
The Trumps' tabloid-frenzy relationship goes something like this: Donald divorced Ivana in 1992, after 12 years of marriage. Following the much-publicized split, Ivana received a hefty sum from the divorce and coined the phrase, "Don't get mad, get everything."
On the show, fiftysomething Ivana will serve as a teacher, expert and guide to the "mature" bachelorette, who will narrow the field of eight down to two and eventually to one. According to Fox, the final choice will be made not by Ivana but by the lovelorn socialite.
Casting for "Ivana Young Man" has already begun.
Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" returns for its second season Sept. 9. He coined the phrase, "You're fired," on the hit NBC reality show.

"Eyes on the Enemy" will be a continuing bi-annual series on the NY Rangers Blog giving fans updates on the Rangers closest rivals. Part 4 of the offseason version of 'EotE' will focus on the Carolina Hurricanes. All contract figures listed below courtesy of capgeek.com
There was some renewed expectations surrounding the Carolina Hurricanes coming into the 2013 campaign. In a division that has been dominated by their rivals 260 miles north of Raleigh, the Hurricanes have been left to play for second place in the Southeast Division far more often than not, keeping expectations from boiling over. It's quite easy to forget that the Hurricanes won a Stanley Cup in 2005 and went to the conference finals in 2009 before being swept by the Penguins who wound up winning it all that year. Even further back, the Hurricanes lost in the Stanley Cup final to Detroit in 2002. Every year in-between Carolina has failed to make the postseason, making them appear as a "tough out" if they're able to qualify.
The 2013 season was coach Kirk Muller's first "full" season behind the bench for the Hurricanes, replacing long time coach Paul Maurice just 25 games into the 2011-12 season. They were active before the lockout took effect, signing Alex Semin away from the Capitals to a 1 year, $7 million contract before extending him in March for an additional 5 seasons at the same price tag. Of course, we can't forget the infamous trade during the 2012 NHL Draft with the Hurricanes acquiring Jordan Staal from the Penguins for the 8th overall pick, Brandon Sutter and defensive prospect Brian Dumoulin. Soon after the trade, Staal signed a 10 year, $60 million extension.
Between the talent that was already in place in Eric Staal, Jiri Tlusty, Tuomo Ruutu, who missed a large chunk of the season after hip surgery and Jeff Skinner coupled with the offseason acquisitions, the team was expected to give the Capitals a tough time in the division. What happened was the complete opposite. Last season was a tale of two halves for the Hurricanes, jumping out to a 15-9-1 record through the first 25 games before injuries decimated a shallow blue-line and sidelined goalie Cam Ward for the remainder of the season. Carolina finished 4-16-3 over the final 23 games, 13 points behind the 8th place Islanders.
On the Farm:
With the 5th overall pick in the 2013 draft, the Carolina Hurricanes selected Elias Lindholm from Brynäs IF in the SHL. Lindholm is a very highly regarded prospect coming from Europe who could've easily gone first overall if not for the deep pool of prospects that were selected at the top of the draft this year. Good two-way player, skater, shooter and finisher; glowing reports about all
aspects of his game. Already drawing comparisons to Peter Forsberg. I never found anything that was listed as a glaring weakness. Although Lindholm has one year left on his contract in Sweden, he signed a 3 year entry level contract on July 15th and GM Jim Rutherford told reporters prior to their prospect camp he would be "shocked" if Lindholm didn't make the club out of training camp next month.
20 year old defenseman Ryan Murphy (1st-2011) looks to make the jump to the pros this year after completing his junior career with the Kitchner Rangers in the OHL. An offensive defenseman, Murphy was nearly a point per game player with 220 points in 228 games. He'll look to make the team out of training camp and will likely be the first call-up if he's sent to the AHL at the beginning of the season.
Cap Situation:
Nothing here of major concern. Capgeek only lists 11 forwards on the roster, as Tim Brent who spent the last two seasons with the Hurricanes, signed with the KHL and Chad LaRose who has not been in contact with the Hurricanes since the end of the season. Regardless, the Hurricanes have a spot or two open on their roster and $4.8 million in cap space to fill those holes.
Odds and Ends:
A new set of challenges await the Hurricanes for the 2013-14 season. Most of last season's roster returns in 2013 with only Nathan Gerbe and Mike Komisarek added in free agency and Andrej Sekera via trade from Buffalo. Between the lockout and injuries sustained throughout the roster, the organization looked at last season as the exception rather than the rule. Carolina will likely find themselves jockeying for position behind the Penguins, Rangers and Capitals and compete for one of the two new "wildcard" spots in the Eastern Conference. Despite the poor performance last season, the Hurricanes are a bonafide darkhorse in the Metro
politan Division this year and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Before we had e-mail, the popular way to exchange written messages was by sending letters through snail mail. Canada's postal service recently went through a period when they weren't delivering mail, which inspired us to create this episode. We talk about traditional mail versus e-mail too, as well as Harp's grandparents' letters from India and Maura's pen pal in England.
|So you met him on the Internet, and then you guys become pen pals and used traditional snail mail. Then you met in real life and then now you met again, years later, using Facebook.
|Yup. It's pretty cool.
|That's a very cool story.
|Yeah, it was fun. And it's always fun to meet people from different places and exchange with them and get to know people. I like that.
|Yeah. I had pen pals when I was young but they were always living somewhere far and I never wrote to them for a long time. I never met any of my pen pals. That's very cool.

Abstract: My research addresses the rich relationship between sūtra text and painting by combining methods from religious and cultural studies with semiotic analysis to pursue a contextualized study of the role of Buddhist word in Japanese paintings from the ninth through fourteenth centuries. This talk presents the thesis and larger themes at work in my dissertation. I discuss the power of dharma relics and their insertion into the realm of painting and the implications of the resultant semiotic phenomenon. In doing so, I consider some of the broader functions of scriptural texts beyond the exegetical and how those roles are manifested in painting.

target date - 80's]
Zhivagos nightclub was
named after the 1967 romantic epic 'Dr Zhivago' and retained
the tacky hi-gloss of the 70's discotheque well into the mid
1980's. It was located in the basement of the Victoria Centre
and was very much in the classic 'Saturday Night Fever' vein.
John Travolta would not have looked out of place in this establishment.
Zhivagos was favoured by
smartly dressed girls as the venue's strict door policy excluded
male groups, underage drinkers, drunkards and the great unwashed.
If you were a young male, it was virtually impossible to enter
the club after 11.00pm if you didn't wear a tie. Paralytic youths
could sometimes be seen just around the corner from the club,
fumbling with yard-long lengths of rags in an attempt to create
the illusion of actually wearing one.
Dress code was sometimes relaxed
at the bouncers discretion, and for a brief period Riff and
I were admitted in our new romantic attire, probably because
we looked so effeminate (and non-threatening) but also because
we drank Black Witch in huge quantities. (1pint cider, 1 measure
pernod, blackcurrant cordial).
On the dancefloor, Michael Jackson
and Kool and the Gang were the order of the day, with some concessions
to mainstream futurist and new wave groups in the form of The
Police, Soft Cell and The Thompson Twins. It was pretty much
one step up from a school disco.
parties, dancing competitions, ladies nights and beauty parades
were standard fayre at Zhivagos. Photographs of events like
'Miss Nottingham' appeared regularly in the Nottingham Evening
Post and were usually hosted by Radio Trent DJs or minor celebrity.
Attending these events went against the feminist teachings of
our respective college courses, but they were so delightfully
tacky that we couldn't resist.
In addition
to its range of exotic cocktails, the nightclub had its own
fast food bar, offering a simple yet expensive menu of chips
and chicken-bites. My last memory of the club is that of sitting
on the stairs, tucking into a salty, ketchup-laden tray of chips,
dressed in my best Don Johnson suit with canvas shoes and a
crimson ponytail. 'Miami Vice' was top of the TV ratings in
1985, so I must have looked pretty cool back then.
site today
Today the
Zhivago's site is occupied by Vision Express, a company who
specialise in supplying spectacles and contact lenses to once
youthful disco dancers. If you are one of these people, please
send stories and photographs of Nottingham nightlife in the
80's to firstname.lastname@example.com

When ospreys returned to breed in Scotland, this ancient Caledonian pineforest is where they chose to come. The Loch Garten Osprey Centre provides fantastic views of these magnificent birds on the nest, as well as close up views thanks to our non-invasive CCTV camera.
This is a wonderful place for quiet walks in beautiful ancient woodland. There are five trails of up to eight miles long that meander through the woods. In summer, look out for damselflies, dragonflies and butterflies, including the rare heath fritillary butterfly. As dusk falls, you may see nightjars gliding on silent wings, and hear their churring call.
Buckenham Marshes is a traditionally managed grazing marsh with large numbers of breeding wading birds, and ducks and geese in winter. The reserve also often boasts the only regular winter flock of bean geese in England (November to February), together with white-fronted geese and up to 10,000 wigeons.
Stroll down a shell-white beach, marvel at the summer colour as the flowers bloom along the sand dunes, and keep your eyes peeled for the most elusive of birds. You'll probably hear the corncrake's distinctive rasping call between May and July - but will you see one?
This is a delightful oak woodland to walk through - especially in spring and early summer when lots of migrating birds come to breed at the reserve. Birds you may see on the steep valley sides include flycatchers, redstarts and wood warblers. There are a wide variety of butterflies to spot too.
If you haven't been to Dungeness, nothing can quite prepare you for this landscape - mile after mile of shingle, wild and weird! Dungeness's position, jutting into the English Channel, makes it ideally placed to watch for migrant birds arriving or departing.
Here you can enjoy a newly created wetland, which provides a safe home for many rare species including water voles and otters. In spring the reedbeds are alive with birdsong and in autumn you can see kingfishers flashing up and down the ditches. Bitterns are seen regularly all year-round.
The great crested grebe was hunted almost to extinction in the UK for its ornate head plumes. At Hodbarrow in the spring you can see their amazing courtship dance. You can also watch three species of tern in astonishing close-up.
Lough Erne is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the UK. Take a leisurely stroll around the forest trails and look across to some of the 40 islands that make up most of the reserve, two of which you can visit by boat.
Discover the breathtaking scenery and wildlife that's typical of this region. Stroll along the nature trails and use the viewing hides to explore at your own pace.
This is an ideal place for birds throughout the year. In summer, you'll see large numbers of breeding wildfowl, including pintails, redshanks and wigeons, while in the winter migrating whooper swans and other birds visit.
This delightful reserve contains grazing marshes, reedbeds, heathland and woodland. Thousands of ducks, swans and geese use the marshes in winter, while spring brings breeding bitterns, marsh harriers, woodlarks and nightingales.
You can escape for an hour or two at this oasis for wildlife, less than 5 miles from the centre of Birmingham.
Ynys-hir mixes Welsh oak woodland with wet grassland and saltmarshes. Feast your eyes from any of our seven hides - look out for birds of prey. Then round off your visit with a snack at the visitors' centre.
Set in the beautiful North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Geltsdale is home to black grouse, birds of prey and breeding waders and ideal for walking. There are four waymarked trails leading from the car park at Howgill.
Burton Mere Wetlands is a wonderful place to enjoy nature. In the mid-1980s, we bought farmland here and turned it into a thriving wetland filled with glorious wildlife.
Walk by a fast stream and gleaming waterfalls in this wooded glen, looking for grey wagtails, dippers and buzzards. This beautiful steep-sided valley is an oasis of calm, but do take care as paths are rugged in places.
Otmoor is a magical nature reserve of wet meadows and reedbeds. It is a haven in winter for thousands of ducks, such as teals and wigeons, and in spring and summer for breeding wading birds, such as lapwings and redshanks.
These remote mudflats and fields are the ideal place to see brent geese, whooper swans and wigeons in the early winter months. The best vantage points are on the minor roads off the A2 between Limavady and Londonderry.

Females go into estrus about every twenty days, with estrus lasting two to six days. The mating system of this felid is unknown. However, the home ranges of adult males overlap those of several adult females, but do not overlap those of other males (Nowak, 1999; Garman, 1997; IUCN, 1996). This, coupled with the larger size of males, indicates some level of competetion between males for mates, and therefore some level of polygyny.
Mating System: polygynous
Breeding season for L. geoffroyi occurs from December to May. Females may produce one litter of one to four cubs per year. Geoffroy's cat frequently mates in trees.
The females have a gestation period of 67-78 days. The female gives birth in a den of bushes, a rock crevice, or sometimes even a nook in a tree (Garman,1997). Young weigh 65-123 g at birth. They are born blind, but their eyes open within 8-12 days. They develop quickly. They can stand at about four days old, and by six weeks are fearless climbers. They can walk after two or three weeks. These cats are weaned at 8 to 10 weeks and become completely independent of the mother after about eight months. Sexual maturity is reached between 14 and 24 months (Nowak, 1999; IUCN,1996).
Breeding season: December-May
Range number of offspring: 1 to 3.
Average number of offspring: 2.57.
Range gestation period: 67 to 78 days.
Average gestation period: 65.3 days.
Range weaning age: 56 to 70 days.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 14 to 24 months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 21.00 months.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 14 to 24 months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 21.00 months.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (Internal ); viviparous
The females raise the young. They nurse them until they are about 8 weeks old. After about 8 months, the kittens become independent of the mother. The males are not involved in the rearing of the young (Nowak, 1999; Garman,1997).
Parental Investment: altricial ; female parental care

When: Wednesday, January 08, 2014
Time: 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Where: Lynch Tham
175 Rivington Street
New York, NY 10002
Cost: Free w. RSVP
Source: Lynch Tham
LYNCH THAM is pleased to present CON/TEXT, a group exhibition, on view from Wednesday, 8 January to Sunday, 16 February 2014.
Comprising of a selection of works from over four decades, CON/TEXT focuses on artists who have explored the dynamic interplay between two representational systems: text and imagery; chiefly in using text as image to create visual narratives of unconventional stance.
From Barbara Kruger incorporating pop culture images to illustrate provocative statements to Wosene Worke – an Ethiopian born artist who uses Amharic to make paintings and sculptures, this exhibition presents an overview of how artists from all over the world have appropriated and played with imagistic and textual conventions to construct new meanings, allowing us to engage in multiple modes of interpretation and understanding.
The exhibition also includes Joe Amrhein, Carl Andre, Xu Bing, Guglielmo Achille Cavellini, Lee Etheredge IV, Jacob El Hanani, Carlo Ferraris, Wenda Gu, Mona Hatoum, Barbara Kruger, Glenn Ligon, Shirin Neshat, William Pope. L, Robert Ryman, and Marina Temkina.

I play in a league where we have no bench players and if you want a different guy you just drop 1 and pick 1 up. Costs you $5 to do so I tend to try to avoid a bunch over the year.
Here is my question though, there are severel running backs out there that would be on most peoples benches but as i said, we have no bench. So I have Forte and Mendenhall at running back with Wells (questionable this week), Moreno (could be in a committee soon), Harrison (browns have no love for him) and McFadden (finaly a good week) all being free agents, should i drop one of my RB, most likely Forte, to pick on of these guys up? And if so, who? I would lean towards McFadden since this may finally be his year.
5 replies , Last at 17 Sep 2010, 10:39pm by aireez67
Sorry, Wells, Moreno, Harrison, and McFadden are all free agents
oh sorry again, it is a PPR league. But Dallas and the other defenses in the NFC north scare me down the stretch
I wouldn't drop him; I'd try to trade him to upgrade at a position, but I wouldn't drop him for anyone you listed as FAs.
Forte was money last week and will continue to be money in Martz's schemes. He's the bellcow of the Bears and will get tons of catches. His production will continue even if the Bears are getting blown out unlike nonpass catching RB's. Beanie is in a timeshare with Hightower at best, Moreno will be in a timeshare with Maroney at best, and McFadden is nothing special and probably timesharing.
With no bench, what do you do during bye weeks? You either have to cut someone valuable or you have to run a team with less than the full allotment of players. Interesting rule and by interesting I mean asinine.
lol....its not head to head, its just total points for the entire 17 weeks. So yeah if your guy is on a bye week you either get no points or you pick someone else up. Its actually the best league i am in. It also has and entire individual defense. 3 dl, 4 lb, and 4 db. Its sweet cause there is always guys out there to pick up but you have to pay to get them. Most leagues there are always good players just wasting away on peoples benches which i think is dumb. But thanks for the advice, i was thinking the same thing but it makes decisions harder. Trust me though, it is an awesome league.

The Small Core of the German Corporate Board Network: New Evidence from 2010
Milakovic, Alfarano and Lux (2010) have identified a small core of directors who are both highly central to the entire network of German corporate boards as well as closely connected among themselves. While their analysis has been based on data for the management and supervisory boards of a sample of 287 publicly traded companies with high market capitalization as of May 2008, a subsequent study by Milakovic, Raddant and Birg (2010) using somewhat smaller samples from the years 1993, 1999, and 2005 has confirmed that this closely connected core is a persistent stylized fact for the German corporate sector. In this note, we provide an update of our previous results using the composition of management and supervisory boards as of December, 2010. Again, almost all qualitative properties of previous samples are confirmed despite considerable turnover within the group of persons constituting the network core

Eminent domain abuse continues
Posted on Jun 28, 2010
Five years after the infamous Kelo v. New London decision, private property owners continue to suffer from eminent domain abuse. Fox 17 reports in Michigan:
The building at 38 Front Street doesn't look like a whole lot from the outside, but it's worth millions of dollars. It's a piece of prime real estate on the river. Leaders with Grand Valley State University are determined to make it the home of one of their fastest growing departments, the Seidman College of Business.
"It's so big that we simply don't have any other space on our Grand Rapids campus for additional building construction," said Matthew McLogan of Grand Valley State University.
The want to break ground on the 20 million dollar project soon and have it up and running in 2013. But there's a problem. They don't own the property. It's owned by DeVries Development Properties.
After ten months of negotiations, they haven't been able to settle on a price.
"We just simply were not able to come to an agreement," said McLogan.
That's not stopping the University. They filed a complaint in court against the developer, trying to get the property through what's called Eminent Domain. That's where the state seizes private property for the benefit of the public.

Age: 25
Hometown: Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta
Current gig: Lost's escaped prisoner Kate
Seen her before?: Blink and you might have missed her. Lilly has appeared in a few commercials ("Hated it!"), but before Lost her most significant acting job was a bit part in the short-lived Stephen King series Kingdom Hospital (she was killed off).
How she got here: Even though Lilly had been approached by talent scouts while living in Canada, it wasn't until she needed money for college that she took acting seriously. "I was studying international relations because I wanted to be a missionary," says the former University of British Columbia student. Once over her initial reluctance, Lilly began pursuing acting work and eventually met with Lost producer JJ Abrams, who earlier had jump-started Jennifer Garner's career with Alias. They clicked, but "it wasn't till after we shot the pilot in Hawaii that I woke up and went, 'I have to do this,'" she says.
Why jungle life is good: The "deserted" island the Lost plane-crash survivors call home is actually a set on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. "To finally be warm on a regular basis is a dream," says the Canada native. Plus, she spends her nights in a three-bedroom bungalow, unlike her character, Kate, who has to deal with rainstorms, unseen monsters and bickering passengers (including costar Matthew Fox).
Where she gets her thrills: Lilly's just as adventurous off-screen as her gun-wielding, boar-hunting character. In college she spent three weeks in the Philippines with a Christian missionary group and adapted to life in the tropics, including bathing in crocodile-infested waters. Her fearlessness comes from being raised by a father "who has three girls and no boys," so she and her sisters were more like surrogate sons, she says. Growing up, she was always physically active, running, cycling, swimming and more. "We've got lots of land to play in (in Canada), and we do," she says.
What's next: Most likely some pro bono work. "I still support a number of charities," says Lilly, who has volunteered for children's organizations since she was a teenager. "I have always said if I were to ever get any kind of measure of success in this industry, I think it's a great opportunity to use that." She cites Angelina Jolie's dedication as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations as an inspiration. "I admire it."

The snippets in SQL Server 2012 are essentially templates that can expedite building database statements.
Imagine a series of commands you always use when creating a Trigger, Table, Stored Procedure or even a Select statement. Now imagine having all those commands established and ready to use. You can greatly reduce the amount of time and code you have to write using the new T-SQL code snippets in SQL Server 2012.
T-SQL snippets let you quickly build T-SQL statements without having to remember the commands or their syntax. You can use this feature to help reduce development time and increase productivity for your developers and DBAs.
Snippet templates in SQL Server 2012 are based on XML with predefined fields and values. When you use a T-SQL snippet, these fields are highlighted and you can tab through each field and change the values as required.
Snippets are categorized for ease of use. You can view and select various snippets based on the category. SQL Server 2012 introduces three types of snippets:
Let's look at how to create a custom snippet and add it to the snippet menu. Creating and using a snippet is a three-step process:
By default, all T-SQL snippets are stored in the following folder and saved as .snippet files:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\SQL\Snippets\1033
Step 1. Create a T-SQL Snippet File with XML
Here's a snippet you can use to write a Select statement for any table (it will also let you use a CASE statement for an equality check on a column):
CASE_END.SNIPPET File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
<Description> Insert Case...End Construct. </Description>
<Author> Saleem Hakani (Microsoft Corporation) </Author>

Select <Column_Name1>, <Column_Name2>, <Column_Name3>, <Column_Name4>=
CASE <Column_Name4>
WHEN '<value>' THEN '<Result>'
WHEN '<value>' THEN '<Result>'
WHEN '<value>' THEN '<Result>'
WHEN '<value>' THEN '<Result>'
ELSE 'Value not found'
<Column_Name5>, <Column_Name6>
From <Table_Name>
Step 2. Register the Snippet with SSMS
Once you've created this file, use the Code Snippets Manager to register the snippet with SSMS. You can either add a new folder based on the snippet category or import individual snippets to the My Code Snippets folder.
To add a snippet folder:
The next step is to import the snippet in to SSMS:
Step 3. Invoke or Insert a T-SQL Snippet from Query Editor
You now have a snippet called CASE_END that you can invoke from the query editor with the shortcut key by pressing CTRL + K + X. Then select the category folder in which you've stored the snippet. You could also right-click on the context menu in query editor and select Insert Snippet.
You can also invoke a snippet by right-clicking on the context menu in the query editor. This will present you with various Snippet Options.
Using these steps, you can create T-SQL code snippets and register them with SSMS. You can also create complex snippets of various regular tasks and make your life managing SQL Server much easier.
Imagine you're a developer or a DBA responsible for the security of your servers. You may have 500 logins in SQL Server, but you don't know the server level roles to which these 500 logins are assigned. If you were to individually check each login's properties, it would take hours or even days. Having an automated way to quickly check all server-level logins would reduce the time to code, as well as increase code accuracy and developer and DBA productivity.
Here's a snippet that will let you quickly look at server-level logins and their server-level roles and permissions. This SecuritySPY snippet list identifies server-level logins and the roles to which they're assigned:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
<Title>SQL_SecuritySPY - By Saleem Hakani (Microsoft Corporation)</Title>
<Description> Shortcut for checking SQL Server Server Role Permissions </Description>
<Author> Saleem Hakani (Microsoft Corporation) </Author>

--Author: Saleem Hakani (Microsoft Corporation)
--Website: Http://sqlcommunity.com
'Login Name'= Substring(upper(SUSER_SNAME(SID)),1,40),
'Login Create Date'=Convert(Varchar(24),CreateDate),
'System Admin' = Case SysAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Security Admin' = Case SecurityAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Server Admin' = Case ServerAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Setup Admin' = Case SetupAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Process Admin' = Case ProcessAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Disk Admin' = Case DiskAdmin
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
'Database Creator' = Case DBCreator
When 1 then 'YES (VERIFY)'
When 0 then 'NO'
from Master.Sys.SysLogins order by 3 desc
Now you have a snippet called SecuritySPY. You can invoke this with the shortcut key from the query editor, as explained previously. You also can right-click on the context menu in query editor and select Insert Snippet.
Creating and using snippets can streamline your SQL Server management tasks. Having a handful of predefined commands at your disposal keeps you from having to do the same thing over and over again.

Private Tutors for Preschoolers?paulabernstein
Parents who want their toddlers to get into ultra-competitive private schools in Manhattan are hiring private tutors to coach their 4-year-olds on the admissions exam, according to The New York Times. But are they helping or hindering them?
Because so many kids are being prepped for the test, it is no longer an accurate measure of children's abilities. Now most of these private schools no longer value the Early Childhood Admissions Assessment (known as the E.R.B. after the Educational Records Bureau, the company that administers it).
But, aside from test results, is spending money on a private tutor for your preschooler beneficial in the long run?
In short: no.
"While this is one way to spend your money, it may not be the best way to teach children the long-term skills they will need after they get into that top kindergarten. It may also hinder them more than help them," writes The New York Times' Paul Sullivan.
How so? Rather than encouraging kids to push themselves and be naturally inquisitive, tutors may end up teaching young children that getting the correct answer is more important than the process of arriving at it.
"I always say be careful in doing this," Lloyd Thacker, a former college admissions officer and the executive director of the Education Conservancy tells The New York Times. "Not only does it jeopardize your child's studenthood' — those qualities that make learning happen — but someone finding your way for you and packaging you in the process jeopardizes your ability to be yourself."
Will these youngsters learn how to tackle difficult problems themselves or will they assume that they can't do it on their own? Once they make it to the private school, will they be able to take tests without somehow holding their hand and encouraging them?
What do you think? Would you ever hire a tutor for your preschooler?

NEW YORK -- To Cavaliers guard Donald Sloan, a former amateur fighter and boxing aficionado, Madison Square Garden represents more than Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing, more than Reggie Miller erasing a last-minute Indiana deficit to the astonishment of Spike Lee.
It's Joe Frazier leveling Muhammad Ali with a perfect left hook while Frank Sinatra snapped pictures for Look magazine. There's lots of history here under the distinctive suspended ceiling and it's a difficult place for any visitor to make his first NBA start.
But Sloan showed no signs of being overwhelmed in running the offense in absence of an injured Kyrie Irving on Saturday night. Learning of his starting assignment less than hour before tipoff, he helped keep the short-handed Cavaliers in the game before falling, 91-75, to the New York Knicks.
Sloan scored 10 points, grabbed seven rebounds and contributed four assists while playing a career-high 34-plus minutes.
"I thought Donald did a real great job running the show, getting guys the ball when they needed it [and] being able to break down defenders and get to the basket," coach Byron Scott said.
Scott did not scratch Irving (sprained shoulder) until about 45 minutes before the game. But Sloan, playing in the Development League prior to the March 15 trade deadline, was not rattled by the task.
The Knicks were without their starting point guard, too. Baron Davis subbed for Jeremy Lin, lost for the remainder of the regular season with a knee injury.
"Being a player, you always have to stay mentally ready for anything," Sloan said. "Being out there with the guys made me that much more comfortable. Being the situation that it was, Kyrie not being able to go, I had a great group of guys that put their arms around me and told me 'You can do it, let's go.'"
Sloan is no Ramon Sessions, the point guard dealt to the Los Angles Lakers. In just nine games with the Cavaliers, however, the Texas A&M product has justified the club's decision to sign him for the remainder of the season rather than a 10-day contract. He hasn't looked out of place in averaging 16.3 minutes, 4.0 points and 2.1 assists. With Irving figuring to command about 34-35 minutes per game next season, Sloan is the type of player who the club might consider as a possible backup.
"Coach has been very patient with me, so have my teammates," Sloan said. "But I'm pretty good at trying to grasp all the concepts and getting to know personnel pretty well in a short period of time. They've been hands-on with me since I've been here."
Irving update: Don't be surprised to see Irving back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against San Antonio at The Q. The rookie, who injured his right shoulder Friday against Milwaukee, wanted to play in New York, but was overruled by Scott. The coach elected to give his point guard a few more days off after Irving said the shoulder felt "a little sore."
Scott is likely to hold him out of practice save for some light shooting.
"Hopefully, resting it today, tomorrow and the next day, the soreness will be gone," Scott said.
Shooting slump: Perhaps the heavy work load this season is catching up to 35-year-old Antawn Jamison. In the past five games, the starting power forward is shooting 30 percent from the floor.
He was 5-of-15 on Saturday for 13 points a night after managing just two points in Friday's loss to Milwaukee. Jamison is averaging a team-leading 33.5 minutes per game and 17.5 points. He is shooting 40.7 percent for the season.
Dribbles: The Cavs did not practice Sunday. ... Manny Harris did not play at all Saturday as Scott elected to stick with Lester Hudson as Sloan's backup.

An unforgettable trip into the world of Edith Piaf- superb musicians, minimalist, yet effective staging, and an incredible performance by the star. However, be aware that it's all in French with the exception of an English translation of one song- La Vie En Rose. If you don't understand French and can't let it simply "wash over you," don't go.

I think you can make the argument that the 3rd best team in the division, be it Boston, Tampa or Toronto could legitimately be better then any team in the entire national league. Now I wouldn't have said that if Philly had both Howard and Utley in the lineup but with them down I would take both Boston or Tampa over them right now.
I think this is the strongest this division has maybe ever looked, especially if the Jays take the jump to around a 90 win team.
Let me preface this by saying that I am usually the furthest thing from a optiomist when it comes to sports teams I like or that play in the city I live in. Lots of people in Toronto seem to like what the Leafs are doing but I am not one. Anyways I think this Jays team has massive potential and heres why.
They have arguably one of the best hitters in the game in Bautista.
They have a budding frontline starter in Ricky Romero.
They have one of the most exciting young players in the game in Brett Lawrie.
I know that alone doesnt gurantee success but not many teams in the league can say they have a legitmant MVP candidate, a all star pitcher and a top young rookie in the game.
Heres 3 guys that will prolly dictate just how dangerous the Jays can be next season.
Colby Rasmus - This guy was just a mess last season but with his half season with the Cards and also when he came to Toronto. He looked like a mentally broke player from the minute he arrived with the Jays but lets not forget that this was a young kid who was one of the better young players in the game in 2010. He put up a line of .275 avg, 23 homers and a .859 OPS while playing a good CF. Im not saying its a gurantee he returns to that form but the kid has pedigree and loads of talent. All reports leading into spring training say hes looking better then ever and has fixed up some little hitches in his swing.
Brett Cecil - Another guy that has a horrendous 2011. From the start of spring training there were reports that his velocity had dropped and that he came into camp way out of shape. He was bad to start the year and got sent down to AAA before being recalled. Im not the biggest Cecil fan but he was pretty solid in 2010 with a 15-7 record and a ERA around 4. Its said that hes lost 20 lbs this offseason and in the best shape of his career. If he can pitch close to 2010 form he will give the team a solid #4/5 starter.
Adam Lind - I really dont know what to expect out of this guy. He looked like a absolute monster in 2009 hitting .305, with 35 home runs and 115 rbi's. Then in 2010 he was a mess and last season he started off really hot but then got injured and when he returned he was brutal again. He's a good hitter but seems to either get injured or go thru long stretchs where he cant hit a thing. I'd be happy with a .270, 25 home runs and a respectable OPS and that would be decent behind Bautista in the lineup.
Then you have guys like Morrow who alot of people have been expecting to take the next step. He finished off 2010 strong but then got injured in spring training last season and when he came back looked rusty but finished off the 2011 season well. I think at some point he will become a bonifide #1b but just not sure when that will happen.
Escobar is a very good SS and just entering his prime.
Kelly Johnson is meh but he has the potential to have a good season
Arencibia wont hit for average but he should be good for 25 home runs and a good # of RBI's
One of Eric Thames or Travis Snider will be the everday LF'er. My money right now would be on Thames.
Encarnation actually showed to be a qaulity option at DH and it looks that now that he doesnt have to field he can focus more on what he does well.
The Bullpen is majorily improved in my opinion. Adding a young hard thrower in Sergio Santos, a good lefty specialist in Darren Oliver, a solid late inning option in Jason Frasor and a vet 8th inning/closer in Francisco Cordero should definitely have this bullpen better then last season where they blew as many games as any team in the league.
The starting pitching is where everything is going to be decided. Right now is looks like the starting 5 will be ROMERO - MORROW - ALVAREZ - CECIL - MCGOWEN. I'll be the first to admit that rotation is volotile and im really not sure how it will turn out but at least I can say theres a good amount of talent in there. Theres also the chance Drabek wins a spot and keep a eye open for one of the teams best pitching prospects Drew Hutchison.
I know most people will say "meh its still a 4th place team" and thats totally fair but I certainly think they have the potential to suprise alot of people if some of the teams question marks go in there favour. I have no idea what the teams win total will be but I have a strong feeling that they will win more games then Vegas has them pegged at. Even someone like Peter Gammonds says this team is a sleeping giant and soon to wake up. Add to it that either Travis d'Arnaud and Anthony Gose could be called up mid season and really this is the most exciting times Jays fans have seen in awhile.
I really cant believe im getting this price on LSU.
To me this looks like a straight up mismatch sytlistically.
LSU is going to be able to pound the ball all day with Ware and Ford. Did you see what Megget from Maryland did to that West Virginia defence last week? I really dont see anyway WV is going to be able to stop the run. LSU's offensive line should really bully WV's and create lanes all day for those two guys to run thru. Sure theres going to be times where Lee will have to step up and make a big throw but for the most part I think LSU is going to run and then run some more and im not sold on WV's ability to stop them.
On the other side of the ball WV wants to throw all day but that aint going to fly against the team with prolly the best corners in all of college football. Im not even sure Smith will have much time to throw and LSU is going to make WV's offensive line look very similar to Oregons and they will be in Geno's face all day. WV has shown me nothing running the ball the past 2 weeks to make me think they will be able to pound the ball against this beastly defence.
I guess it comes down to this. I can easily come up with a way that LSU can score the ball (run) but I cant come up with a way that West Virginia can. Oregon is a much better team then WV imo and LSU make them look silly. I think this will be a routinely easy win for LSU but there offence does scare me so Im not messing around with the -6.5 seeing LSU has a bad habit of playing tight games and dont want a late meaningless TD to fuck me over and the ML price is pretty good for this spot.

Within the last two days, Kyron's father, Kaine Horman, has moved out of the house he shared with wife Terri Moulton Horman, and he brought their 18-month-old daughter Kiara with him, a source tells PEOPLE.
On Monday night, Terri Horman was served with a restraining order and divorce papers, the Oregonian reports.
Meanwhile, Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, and her husband Tony, have joined Kaine Horman in releasing a cryptic statement saying they're pulling back from the public eye.
"We understand that we have free access to the media but are limiting statements to the media to keep the integrity of the investigation intact," the three stated. "Any actions taken by the investigation, or by us, are based on the best interests of Kyron and Kiara and comply with the law. Beyond this, we have no comment on the matter."
Terri Horman's name is not included in the statement, and a source tells PEOPLE she is no longer officially speaking for the family as she has in the past.
As recently as last Friday, Kyron's father said he believed his wife was "committed" to finding the boy.
Terri, who has helped raise Kyron since he was a baby, was the last person known to have seen him, telling police she dropped the second-grader off at a science fair at his Portland-area school on June 4.
Since then, she has taken two polygraphs and deputies sent out a questionnaire asking if anybody had seen Terri or her truck the day the boy disappeared.
Terri Horman's dad tells PEOPLE in the current issue she's been interviewed repeatedly, as long as six hours at a time, and that police have inspected her truck twice. Asked if he thought authorities would arrest Terri, her father said it was "50-50."

Giroux is a winger in my mind.
I just don't know what could have brought on the second trade. Perhaps he thought he would be better off blowing it up.
My first thought was who will be their 2nd line center as well, but then when I read somewhere Giroux would be slotted there, I remembered that he is a natural center. Looks like Voracek and Simmonds are RFA who need to be re-signed, but this might give them the flexibility to re-sing Leino.
Richards and Carter must have really been a problem in the dressing room. I'm not excited by the fact that the Western conference and Central division just got a lot stronger.

Facial Toner™ vs. Dermal Tone
The Derma Tone is a battery-optional, hand-held device intended to firm and tone the muscles of the face. This product says that it is an electronic device, which sends out tiny amounts of electricity to designated areas of the face, exercising the face for you. Derma Tone was originally sold over the counter through mail order via infomercial venues and their website site which has been closed down. This products website claimed that it is good for medical conditions, shrinks sagging skin, reduces wrinkles, and stimulates blood supply. Because a device like this is required to obtain marketing clearance from the FDA and did not, the FDA has issued a warning letter about Dermal Tone.
To use this device, the user plugs the power cord into an electrical source or uses a 9V battery for power, applies a conductive gel to the face, turns the unit on, and places the electrodes against the skin in one of four areas of the face, and holds it in place for 10 seconds. The total treatment time may vary, but will take about 5 minutes on average.
The Dermal Tone device sold for $110 and came with a conductive gel, but they were forced to close shop in 2006 by the FDA because they failed to obtain proper marketing clearance for its safety and effectiveness.

Pope Benedict XVI is set to pay a visit to Cuba this spring. Soon after the Vatican confirmed the trip, President Raul Castro promised to release 2,900 prisoners.
The move was seen as a humanitarian gesture as many of the prisoners are old and infirm. Some have already been released.
The 1998 visit of Pope John Paul II improved relations between the communist government and the Catholic Church. But Pope Benedict's coming visit is already benefiting the island's evangelical Christians.
Last Christmas, the government took the unusual step of allowing evangelicals to hold their celebrations in public places around the country.
"I believe the authorities are understanding that the gospel of Jesus Christ is a blessing for the Cuban family and for our nation," Dr. Victor Samuel Gonzalez, president of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba, told CBN News.
"Therefore, they're slowly opening the doors to allow us Christians to express our faith in the Lord publicly," he said. "And we praise God for that."
Cuba's believers are calling it a victory.
"God did more than we could have imagined," one young Cuban said.
"We're living in a historic hour because what is happening today was only a dream for us before," another Cuban resident said.
For decades, Cuban Christians have prayed for the opportunity to express their faith openly in public. The Christmas rallies took place in many cities, including one in Cienfuegos.
That rally included adult and children's choirs and different pastors addressing the crowds.
Cuban believers, who have lived with limitations and restrictions for years, are hoping these public rallies will be followed by new freedoms for the Cuban church.
