Heavyweight contender Alex Stewart dies at 52

Stewart died last week after being rushed to a hospital in Mount Vernon, N.Y., said Mike Gilberg, a close friend of the former fighter. He had a blood clot in his lung, Gilberg said. ''One day he wasn't feeling good, the next this happened,'' Gilberg said. Stewart...

Arizona Diamondbacks
Grit Index: Kennedy gets win versus no-show Diamondbacks offense
Ian Kennedy, who went 3-8 for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2013 before being traded in July, again helped his former team inch closer to the .500 mark Wednesday, when he took the mound in a San Diego Padres uniform and held the opposition to two runs over seven innings pitched.
The outing at Petco Park was, however, Kennedy's second time facing his former team, as he also faced them four weeks ago at Chase Field, taking the loss.
The Padres bats, meanwhile, exploded for 12 runs off of Randall Delgado and the Diamondbacks bullpen.
Delgado would ultimately be responsible for just half of the 12 runs scored, though he took his seventh loss of the year in the game, lasting 5.0 innings while giving up seven hits.
Out of the bullpen, left-hander Eury De La Rosa was responsible for the bear's share of runs scored against the relief staff, surrendering a three-run home run to pinch-hitter Chris Robinson — the first of his career. The Padres added another against De La Rosa following the home run.
Delgado batted in one of the two Diamondbacks' runs, plating Gerardo Parra — who doubled earlier in the inning — on a line drive up the middle in the third inning. The other came on a Kennedy balk, scoring Paul Goldschmidt.
For the Padres, Chase Headley had three RBI on a 3-for-5 night, while Jedd Gyorko and Tommy Medica, along with Robinson, homered.
The Good:
Little was good in the Padres' blowout of the Diamondbacks, but Heath Bell's two-strikeout relief appearance in the 8th to top the bleeding counted for the silver lining, given the right-hander's recent struggles.
The Bad:
The Diamondbacks tallied just six hits against their former teammate and no one in the lineup had multiple hits Wednesday. Adam Eaton, who led off for the Diamondbacks once again, failed to reach base, plunging his batting average over his last 20 games to .222 and his on-base percentage down to .268 in that span. The speedy outfielder who was projected to be the Diamondbacks' table-setter at the season's outset is 2-for-3 in stolen base attempts during the stretch.
Up Next:
In their final home game of the season, right-hander Trevor Cahill (8-10, 4.02 ERA) will take the mound for the Diamondbacks, facing left-hander Robbie Erlin (3-3; 4.34 ERA) of the Padres. It will be the final start of the season for both pitchers. First pitch is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. MDT and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620 AM.

Attorney Hriste is very professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I was able to communicate with him throughout my case and before my court case was dismissed. I appreciate his efficiency and always taking the time to help answer any concerns or questions I had. It was a stressful time in my life he made me feel valued. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Thank you so much Attorney Hriste!

I had hired Mr. Hriste Stojanovski for my DUI case in Oct 2014. After reaching out to several different lawyers, he was the one that had the best response to my initial questions. I knew right then that I would want to work with Hriste! He was great to help guide me through the process from start to finish and I was always aware of what to expect prior to court. Before & after court, he would take the time to discuss some issues with my case, answer any questions I had, and would also provide me advice and feedback. I would like to thank him for all his hard work and negociating with the prosecutor to drop my speeding ticket and drop my DUI/DWI case to a reckless driving. I would highly recommend his knowledge and professionalism to anyone looking for a DUI lawyer!

Mr. Stojanovski is very skilled and incredibly knowledgeable. He made me feel very valued, respective and represented my case to the fullest.

I had Mr. Stojanovski as my lawyer for two cases. The first one was a DUI case that I was able to get reduced to a reckless driving, thanks to him. He did a very good job at keeping me informed on the progress of my case and is still in contact with me to make sure that I have completed the requirements the court set for me. The amount of effort he put into the case compared was probably the thing I like the most about him. I really felt like the most important thing to him was to help me, rather than making a paycheck out of it. He also represented me in an accident case that I was involved in. The other insurance company was really being difficult, but he was very persistent and I was please with the outcome.

Hriste did an amazing job, his price was reasonable, he was always on time and informative, the part I was most impressed with was the extra time he put in talking to me about if I was ever put in a similar situation how I can avoid getting the same penalty. He spent about two hours after my court date talking to me about a ton of a different situations and the best ways for me to respond to them, and was always very open to answering any questions. I highly recommend him.

Mr Stojanovski was very resourceful and detailed with his work. I was extremely impressed with the time and effort he invested into my case. He did everything he said he would through out the process.
I was arrested for DUI in 12/2010, I hired Mr Stojanovski 2/2011, I had a prior conviction (DUI) and blood alcohol test was over legal limit, my charge was dropped to wreckless in 7/2011.
I would strongly recommend Mr Stojanovski to anyone charged with a DUI.

Hriste Stojanovski has been my lawyer for over a year. I had an incident in November 2010 and he helped me with that case. In February of 2011, I had yet another incident and I hired him again.

Race to the bottom
Safeway's arrival has brought good gas prices to consumers, but some believe it will be short lived after the local competition goes belly-upNews Editor
Since the new kid arrived on the block, things just haven't been the same.
Safeway's hyper-market has fueled a race to the bottom in the gas business since the grocery chain began offering gas at Madras' lowest rate.
The fierce competition has led to good prices for consumers as several stations have lowered their costs to stay even with the best buy in town. But the competition already has driven one gas distributor out of business and some locally operated stations are wondering who's next?
"Safeway has certainly hurt us because they have a predatory pricing program in place to gain business," said John Gold of Madras, owner of the the Texaco station on the corner of 4th and D streets. "Until they meet their gallon projection they will keep that price down."
On Monday, regular unleaded at Gold's Texaco was selling at $1.19 a gallon -- the highest price in town. At that price, he's only netting 4 cents a gallon in a business where station owners need to make between 15 cents and 20 cents per gallon to stay viable. Texaco's fixed wholesale cost to its distributors is $1.15.
"At one point there was no sense in trying to be competitive with Safeway," Gold said. "When you're buying your gas for 8 cents more there's no point."
Safeway, which lists its gas price at $1.11, currently has the best deal in town. Consumers with the grocery chain's club cards get an additional 3 cents off per gallon.
The scenario unfolding in Madras is not a new one as chain stores with heavy corporate muscles, like Costco and Wal-Mart, have gotten into the gas business.
Box-stores with gas pumps have been dubbed "hyper-markets" and advocates of preserving locally owned businesses say these ventures are wiping out the little guys through unfair practices.
Safeway's local general manager, Jeff Nordstrom, said he was not permitted to speak to the media. However, the company's Portland-based public affairs director, Bridget Flannagin, said Safeway plays a fair game.
"We've been in the grocery business for 75 years and our job is to run a lean mean machine efficiently," Flannagin said. "You can't stay in business if you're not efficient any more and we've now done that with fuel."
Critics of hyper-markets say the low cost of gas they bring to consumers is short lived. The chains are often accused of selling their gas at, below or near cost to wipe out their local competition before raising prices. Congress is even considering legislation to prohibit hyper-markets from selling gas below cost.
"They are known for doing this in every town they walk into," said Barb Schmidt, who owns and operates Leathers through a lease with the Gresham-based company. "If you have the money behind you and you're a big corporation you can sustain that loss."
On Monday, Leathers was selling regular unleaded at $1.09 but Schmidt said they would raise their prices. She said she's laid off five employees, slashed her hours and is still making only half of what she did before Safeway moved in on the market and before the events of Sept. 11.
"I'm not out to be angry," Schmidt said. "Business is slow and of course when another station comes in it takes a piece out of everybody's business. But I'm tired of playing the game."
When asked about volume and wholesale prices, Howes said Safeway's figures were "proprietary information." She said the company, which has opened 13 gas stations in Oregon and Southwest Washington, had "absolutely not" been selling fuel below cost. Safeway buys its gas from Tesoro.
"We give the consumer choice and a competitive price and that's what America was founded on," Flannagin said.
"People vote with their shopping dollar. Safeway is a union operator that pays family wages and benefits for not only the employee but also the family. And there are a lot of nonunion operators with little or no benefits."
Local gas prices have changed daily. Towne Pump, Leathers and Space Age had followed Safeway to the bottom offering their gas at $1.08. But on Monday, Towne Pump raised their prices to $1.17 and Space Age moved to $1.11 while Shell slipped in and grabbed the second lowest mark at $1.09 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
Manzoor Hussein, who manages Space Age Fuel through a lease, said the only thing keeping him in business are his diesel sales. He said gas stations normally need to pump at least 100,000 gallons of gas per month to stay viable. Stations in Madras have historically pumped a combined 600,000 gallons per month on average.
Mike Ahern, who owned Mike & JAC's Gas next to his former mini-mart, was the first local gas distributor to go bust after Safeway moved into town.
"They won't let anyone under them," Ahern said of Safeway. "I think it might take them four or five years but if they can close down a few stations they'll start making their buck."
Ahern inherited his station last September when it was abandoned by its former owner and said he's not bitter or angry he went out of business. He, John Gold of Texaco and Rick Allen of the Chevron-Tiger Mart are the only locals to own their stations outright.
Ahern sent four employees looking for new jobs when he closed shop two weeks ago. He sold off the remainder of his gas for 99 cents a gallon.
"This is reality," Ahern said. "It's the invisible hand of capitalism and it's reached out and choked me.
"I'm not trying to say it's all wrong, it's just hard on small businesses. They suck a lot of consumer dollars away from us. I'm just trying to call a spade a spade."
Allen, who dropped his prices 4 cents to $1.15 on Monday, said Madras' price wars have drawn more volume away from the Redmond area but it's a small consolation.
"There's no mystery to any of this," Allen said. "Safeway's probably not even covering their costs let alone a profit but at some point that will change. You talk to people in other markets were Safeway has been there a year or two, the prices are back up."
Flannagin said local residents have the ability to determine their businesses own fate.
"People seem to forget that if you want your local businesses to stay in business you support them and maybe you have to pay a little more.
"That's the choice we make every day."

This move allegedly shows how serious Microsoft is about the smartwatch form factor and that it is moving it towards completion. Earlier, the smartwatch was developed by the Xbox accessory team along with the Joule heart rate monitor.
We have previously heard that Microsoft has placed orders for 1.5-inch displays and will be using the Surface magnetic connector in the possible upcoming smartwatch.
The Microsoft smartwatch will come with removable wrist bands and color options for them will include blue, red, yellow, black, white, and grey colors. What's most interesting is that the actual watches are made out of Oxynitride Aluminum, an expensive material described as "translucent aluminum" that is also three times harder than glass.
Right now, reports claim the Microsoft smartwatch is using a modified Windows 8 and features 6 gigs of internal storage and LTE connectivity to connect it to the cloud. The watch is said to also serve notifications and allow access to music controls.

How do you prepare turtle? Gutting, cleaning, cooking for those of us who do not know?
Try this sometime if you are in need of some soft shell turtles.
Take about a 4' section of 2x2 attach several treble hooks on all sides, drive the post into the ground approx 1/2 way. Bait it with chicken livers or whatever else you would like as long as it has some odor. The turtle will come to eat the bait and get hung on the treble hooks you attached to the pole. This works very well but.........DON"T GET CAUGHT!!!
Darn I am getting hungry for some now!!

Cleaning a soft shell is fairly easy. Put the critter on his back and insert a long bladed butcher knife under the carapace. Cut around, holding the knife against the plate(carapace). When you get to the sides, tap the knife blade thru. Lift the plate to expose the excellent white meat. You will find chest muscles and legs. Cut these loose and enjoy.

And why don't you want to get caught? Is it the same reason not to hunt deer at night? I had turtle once as a child and was told I better eat it as it cost so much money along with frog legs. My brothers and I were taken on a cruise as kids and were forced to try "fancy" foods. As an adult, I tend to leave turtles alone as they are not pests and, I am not starving. I was feeding three soft-shell turtles today. They love bread. They were fighting the other turtles as well as fish for it.
Sounds like a great way to catch turtles. And coons, and possums, and coyotes, and whatever else comes along. Not exactly legal or ethical.
Practice makes perfect. Be careful what you practice.

Can you dynamite Turtles? I know it works for trout.... (jus bein bad). rc
We got some floating traps we put in ponds for the snapping turtles. They are about 2' square with floats and a slick wire basket in the middle. There are places on the outside of the floats they can crawl up to sun. When they decide to go back in the water it is about a 50 / 50 chance as to what side they will flop off of, if it is the inside then he can't get out and you got him. Given enough time they will eventually go to the inside.

Johnson City flood mitigation project moving forward
Johnson CIty, Tenn. - Johnson City's 6-million dollar flood mitigation project will be allowed to progress, now that U-Haul has found a new location.
U-Haul will move from its present location on King Street to a building previously occupied by Fun Expedition on North Roan.
When the city gets the King Street property they will be able to finish phase one of the flood mitigation project which consists of three parts.
Phil Pindzola Johnson, City Public Works Director says, "The first is Founder's Park, which is nearing completion. Then there was the removal of buildings and the creation of a detention facility at Boone and Market, which has been completed, and the third is this particular detention basin."
Pindzola tells us the whole King Street property will become a detention pond.
U-haul has until the end of the year to move out.

While the timing was bad for the BlackBerry Storm 2, perhaps things are better now for a launch of the Storm 3. A video has been leaked which shows the upcoming third version of the BlackBerry Storm. Right away, you can see some changes to the hardware. An optical trackpad is on the device to help make navigation easier. And yes, it looks like RIM has pulled the plug on SurePress which eliminates the clicking QWERTY keyboard. Some Storm owners swore by SurePress while others swore at it.
The new BlackBerry Storm 3 is expected to have a powerful 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor under the hood. Not dual-core to be sure, but still enough of a major difference that those previous Storm owners will be able to notice the additional power. The new Storm gets a bump up in display size to 3.7 inches from 3.2 inches, and resolution goes from 360 x 480 to 480 x 800. Only one camera will be on the BlackBerry Storm 3 and it is a rear facing 5MP shooter with a video capture rate of 720p. The BlackBerry Storm had a 3.2MP camera.
RIM has really increased storage on the device with 4GB storage and 768MB of RAM under the hood, compared with 1GB storage and a paltry 128MB of RAM on the original Storm. Up to 32GB can be added to the newest version of the phone using a microSD card. The BlackBerry Storm 3 also will apparently support NFC wireless technology and will have the latest build of BlackBerry 6 OS on board. This includes the WebKit browser with tabbed browsing and pinch to zoom.
Despite the positive changes and improvements, things won't be easy for the Storm 3. The device still has a huge challenge in front of it with the dual-core Android models on the verge of getting released, and any touchscreen model offered by Verizon has to contend with the Apple iPhone 4. So far, we have no information on a possible date of release and there has been no word on a pricing scenario.

Kiwis love discount vouchers. And June 1 is the start of the current year for anyone who has bought an Entertainment Book. These are chunky books full of tear-out discount vouchers.
In recent weeks I've found myself helping my son sell Entertainment Books to raise money to go to the Scout Jamboree in Feilding this December. Thousands of other Kiwis are out there trying to sell as many of these books as they can to raise funds for their cause. Twenty per cent of the $65 sale of each book goes to the charity.
The most prolific deals in the Entertainment Book are for eateries. Hundreds of Auckland restaurants and cafes offer buy-one-get-one-free (Bogof) main meals or 25 per cent off the bill. If, like businessman Bob Jones, you eat out three times a week, you could save a small fortune with this book.
There are a lot of Bogof deals in the Entertainment Books. For example, many of the better-known fast-food joints such as McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, and Wendys all offer them, as do attractions such as Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium.
I prefer the 25-per-cent-off deals over buy-one-get-one-free. It means that even if you're just popping in for a one-off coffee and cake, or buying a takeaway, you'll still save some money.
The arts, sports and attractions section of the book is good for people who get out to places such as Rainbow's End, Snow Planet or the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
There are also cinema deals, although some are not as good as last year. Hoyts, for example, is offering two tickets for $26. Considering full-price tickets at its Hibiscus Coast cinema are only $9.90 ($13.50 for 3D) and a full price adult ticket elsewhere is $16.50, the deal doesn't fire me up. There are better movie deals in the book for The Bridgeway, The Vic in Devonport, Monterey Cinemas and Pukekohe Cinema.
This section of the book includes free rounds of golf at some clubs, including Whitford Park, Executive Nine, The Grange, Maungakiekie Golf and Pakuranga Golf Club.
These days, the Entertainment Book competes with the one-day-sale websites, which sometimes offer way more than 50 per cent off the purchase price of food or experiences.
But come school holidays, if I don't have a GrabOne voucher sitting around, the Entertainment Book's discounts would come in mighty handy.
I've never used the travel vouchers in the Entertainment Book, but there are many deals for hotels (many in Australia), car hire, travel insurance and taxi fares.
Thousands of these books will be sold in the next few weeks.
Whether they're suited to your household will depend very much on your discretionary spending.
As Susan Edmunds, editor of this section, said: "I did wonder whether I would have gone out quite so much if I hadn't had the book as an excuse."
More deals
• 50 per cent off Wiltshire and Arcosteel loose pots and frying pans and Sistema microwave and Klip It plastic ware at The Warehouse until Tuesday.
• Aware and ecoplanet cleaning and laundry products, and new Ecostore laundry liquid, are now available from Countdown.
• Half price on selected men's shavers at Farmers until Wednesday.
• Samsung Galaxy Note 8 16GB WiFi. $599 at Dick Smith until June 3.
• GrabOne, Monday: Blunderbuss (462 New North Rd, Kingsland, Auckland) $20 for one pizza, two beers or two house wines (value up to $33).

|st: Drawing a sample that maintains means
|Fri, 11 Oct 2002 12:35:11 -0400
I want to plot weight by age for two groups on the same graph. One of the groups has about 18,000 observations, which really crowds the graph. The other has about 700 observations. So I would like to draw a sample that will plot well, but maintain the mean weight (to one decimal place) at each of six exams for each of the two groups. Is there a good way to draw a sample this specific? Thanks!

Date of Stay: August, 2010
The best feature of this campsite is the location. It is north of the Falls so there was no traffic. We did not spend much time at the campsite; therefore we did not utilize all the activities. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean bathrooms and level site. We did swim in the pool which was in okay condition. It could use a little TLC.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is a private members campground which allows non-members to camp if sites are available. There are actually two campgrounds with this name (this one in Saratoga and another one near Lake George). The members work in the campground, but the owners live in Michigan. This was the only problem I had with the campground, because if anything went wrong, the workers response was always "call Michigan". I booked a full-hook up site and when I arrived they told me that the Saratoga campground doesn't have full-hook ups. My in-laws booked a 1 room cabin, which was supposed to have a bed and a bunk bed. When they arrived the cabin#6 had only a futon and a bunk bed. Their response to both complaints was to "call Michigan". Other than that, the campground was beautiful. Our camp sites#77 & 79 overlooking the lake was picturesque. There was excellent fishing in the lake. The grounds were well kept; the bathroom/showers were clean and the workers/members were friendly and helpful. I would return and definitely stay on the lake.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is an old style campground, much like the way I remember camping when I started camping 25 years ago. No cookie cutter sites, that all look alike. There's a winding road around the lake, and the sites put in between the trees around the lake. If you like relaxing and fishing this is a good campground for you. I didn't like the 'catch and eat' fishing policy, because it's not a huge lake. There isn't much activities for kids or a pool. (My daughter wouldn't go swimming in the lake after she saw us fishing in the same spot). The owners were friendly; they walked around and visited each site to say hello. I think big rigs would have a problem here, because of narrow roads and overhang branches, but for us that added to the seclusion. We enjoyed this retro-campground, but I think I have been spoiled with the modern amenities. However I would return.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This is a well maintained campground and we camp there annually every Columbus Day. It has a lot to offer for families and the Halloween weekend was a blast. However, the 2 reasons I can't give a higher rating is the high holiday rate and their reservation policy, because each year it changes. We used to reserve the same sites each year, if we booked them before we checked out. This year, other campers we able to reserve our sites without giving us the option. When asked why the change in policy, the owners insisted it was always that way, and it did not matter that we've been camping there for years. It seemed that they did not appreciate their loyal customers.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
This was a well maintained campground; however, it was an older campground. We stayed during the week; so I can't comment on the activities provided. It is in an excellent location for traveling to and from Six Flags Great Adventure. It is about 30 minutes from PT Pleasant Beach. The staff was friendly.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
This was a well maintained campground with an extremely helpful, courteous staff. I reserved 3 cabins & 3 full hooks sites 7 months in advance for a family gathering. When I arrived upon check-in, I was told the sites we reserved became "seasonal" and we were placed in different parts of the campground. After protesting, the staff was able to move 2 sites closer to the cabins. However, site #A6 was more like a parking spot than a site. There was no room for a fire ring, and the entrance of my front door was on the road. All the river front sites were taken by the seasonals. If I was to return I would confirm my reservations and not book site#A6.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
There are some good & poor aspects about this park. The staff are friendly & helpful. There is allot of outdoor fun: canoeing, tubing, and fishing. There are allot of kids activities, which are announced on a loud speaker, when they begin. This was a nice feature. The food; BBQ, pancakes, and pizza were all good. The ice cream pallor was the best amenity of the campground. The poor aspects were the bathhouse/restroom. It was horrendous. They were in the process of building a new one for 2010. The concrete around the pool needed upkeep. The building, which housed the office/rec hall/store looks like it may collapse. The sites on the hill are too close together. We stayed on the w/e sites by the river. These were good; however, all grass, no gravel. When it rained, it became muddy. I would return, but only after the renovations.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
There are alot of positive aspects for this campground: very clean restrooms/showers, crystal clear pool water, clean & tidy surroundings, alot of sport amenities, well stocked camp store, excellent snack cafe, alot of daily children activities, game room with air hockey/pool table/ping-pong table (rarely see all 3), modern playground equipment, excellent rental lodges/cabins, & a very helpful,courteous staff. However, there are 2 reasons why I can't give a 10 rating. First the HILL. The entire campground is a hill, and all the amenities are at the bottom. So everyone drives their cars to get to the pool, store, etc...There is a town road, which separates the campground by the pool, and the locals drive beyond the speed limit on it. Second, the RV sites lacked gravel. The rental RV sites had gravel, but the rest were grass/dirt. It rained for 1 day during my stay, and I spent the next day battling mud. Despite those 2 exceptions, it is a wonderful park & I will return.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
We camped there during Memorial Day weekend & the place was crowded. The staff was friendly. The pool was supposed to be heated, but it wasn't. If you are able to get a lakeside spot, you would have enough space; however, we did not. Our lots were small, and everyone was on top of one another. My in-laws stayed in the cabins, and they were in great condition. There were alot of activities for everyone. I would return only if I could book a lakeside spot.

From: Beautilicious,
We don't know quite how it happened but somehow we woke up this week and found ourselves in October. Which means two things: that holiday we were planning only yesterday came and went months ago, and now we've got nothing to look forward to until Christmas.
It's time to liven up the calendar and pencil in some fun days out. We're thinking shopping, sight-seeing and, of course, a little bit of beautifying. Make the most of your days out this season and schedule a stop off at some of our favourite beauty hotspots around the country.
Did Olympic mania have you avoiding London this summer? Now's your chance to get in a little sight-seeing, one of the most fun and least expensive ways to spend a day in the capital. Whether it's watching the changing of the guard and waving to the Queen from the gates of Buckingham Palace, or scaring yourself silly at the London Dungeons you won't be stuck for things to do. In fact, there's so much to do and see that you'll probably find yourself in need of a good old cup of tea. Cross another thing off your 'to see' list and book yourself in for afternoon tea at one of the city's fabulous hotels. We love the Dorchester for a spot of tea, cake and celeb spotting. Just don't forget your P's and Q's and try not to spill.
Heading to Liverpool for a spot of retail therapy? We don't blame you, especially as Harvey Nichols is set to open its first ever Beauty Bazaar in the Liverpool ONE shopping centre this autumn. "What's a Beauty Bazaar?" we hear you ask. Well it's pretty much all you could imagine and more. Set to be the UK's one-stop destination for all things beauty, the Beauty Bazaar will cover three floors, housing all the nation's favourite beauty brands and offering a range of services from Botox to brow bars, to champagne and cocktail bars. So when all that buying gets a bit too much, or you chip a nail on an oversized shopping bag, head to Harvey Nicks and relax with a soothing treatment and a glass of bubbly.
If you're looking for an exciting day out or weekend away, Edinburgh is the perfect destination. Edinburgh has it all; a cobbled Old Town, a Georgian New Town, historic attractions, gardens and some of the best shopping and restaurants in the country - and in the heart of it all a wonderfully relaxing spa. The spa at the Balmoral Hotel offers the ultimate urban retreat. With a prime location, soothing atmosphere and range of beauty treatments and services that does not disappoint it's not to be missed if you're planning a trip to the Scottish capital.
For a day out that is as educational as it is relaxing, head to historic Bath and enjoy the shopping, architecture and – if you haven't already guessed it - the baths. The Thermae Bath Spa is Britain's only naturally warm mineral water bath which dates back over 2,000 years when it was enjoyed by the Romans and Celts. It's been slightly updated since then and now offers services including body wraps, hydrotherapy and mud treatments all designed to ease the body and soothe the mind. We don't mind if we do. When in Rome... well, sort of.
After a day on your feet in Brighton strolling through the cobbled Laines, walking over pebbles and paddling in the icy waters head to the pier for oysters, dodgems and even a pedicure. Asase, is a fish pedicure and massage spa situated on the one and only Brighton pier. The experience is fun, quirky and somehow very 'Brighton', but if you're worried it'll put you off your fish and chips, the mini spa also offers more conventional treatments including Indian head massage, Swedish body massage and traditional pedicures.

I am all for keeping Cruz, but I don't think he should be paid as much as Nicks.. When Nicks is healthy, he's a legit top 10 WR, Cruz isnt (not a knock on him he's very good).

If there is that much separation between Nicks and Cruz (I'm still not sure that's the case) then Nicks is rightly going to demand more. Most folks here seem to think a top 5 - 10 receiver can command $8-10M or more. If they do that for Nicks, Cruz will be gone after 2014 because they won't have the money to keep him IF he has another 1,000+ yard season he will be sought after by a few teams.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Whatever happens, we should have them both for 2013. If Cruz is flat out tendered, with no continuing negotiations in 2013, he'll be odd man when he hits UFA.

I come to the decision that Cruz should get 10 mil a year for his services Yet deduct some of the money to spend on another receiver to take some pressure off of him, that costs him 3 mil. Now add a O-linemen for Eli so Eli can throw Cruz the ball, that is 2 mil. That leaves him with 5 mil contract a year.
JR and Co. will be doing their dance with agents for the next several months, so I wouldn't bet on anything that is in print about what anyone said. I don't think baas has gotten any better; we got stuck, just like canty and others. Its why we're sitting here right now. If the draft isn't a home run and if TC refuses to play rookies get ready to strap on your crash helmuts, brother!
is certainly a frustrating ordeal.
I think from a General Managers position, it is nearly impossible to quantify monetarily how valuable a slot receiver is to a receiver. The position itself, as well as it's role in the NFL today, is relatively new, and continuously evolving.
Certainly, I'm not one to say Cruz is simply just a guy that will sit in zone coverage and pick them apart for 6 - 8 yards at a time, however we all know he does that as well as anyone in the league, and that is how we utilize him to a much larger degree than anything else.
Now, the question is, who else in the league do you compare his skill set to in accordance to the team and develop a suitable contract for him?
It seems as if over the last three years, several more teams have utitlized a hybrid h-back, tight end, slot wide out/running back guy to open up the middle of the field. These sort of athletes are coming across much more prominently now, meaning that the college ranks are pumping them out like never before. However, guys like Hakeem Nicks, whose skill set has done wonders over the entirety of the existence of the NFL, are rare.
I think we all know what I am saying here. Nicks and Cruz play two entirely different roles on this team. Which role is more difficult to fill? That is the guy we should try our absolute hardest to hold on to.
I'm on the side of Hakeem Nicks, here. I hate the annual injuries, but I can't help but think of our former Steve Smith and think that Victor Cruz would be so much easier to replace than Nicks.
I want Cruz to stay, and HATED the way Steve Smith and Kevin Boss went out, but that basically is going to be the philosophy of Jerry Reese, they're not going to overpay anyone.
and if I were to choose between Cruz and Nicks, and go with Nicks all the way. I love that guy, in the manliest way possible.

Dale, Gerry and Kirk discussed Dan Le Batard giving up his hall of fame vote to Deadspin. Kirk did not see an issue with the decision, Gerry and Dale disagreed.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
The big news yesterday -- we knew it was coming at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the latest class for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame was announced. Frank Thomas Tom Glavine Greg Maddux -- the three players who got the mandatory number vote percentage of votes. And then the whole process kinda got way laid kind of got hijacked a little bit. By a self important talk show host out of Miami I'm Dan -- tart. We find out we -- dead spin had attempted to purchase a vote of hall of fame ballot which they then wanted to turn over to their readers let the readers vote. And Webber got the highest percentage of votes were gonna get the names on the ballot that actually that part and basically much to be honest with you. But it turns out that Dan -- targets the guy who gave his vote. Over two dead spin. And allowed them to hijack the process we've got a couple things we're gonna play for yet and and the first one. Is -- -- attempting to explain himself why he did what he did. Those of you don't know here's what's happened okay I've gotten some people very angry at me there. I have given my -- my hall of fame my Baseball Hall of Fame vote over the dead spin if they voted on ten people -- very viable candidates. To sort of shine a light on this project on this process on on the the process of the hall of fame which is kind of broken and kind of antiquated and because my vote hasn't mattered for the last ten years I can't do anything with the steroid guys they can't get any of them in a -- give Barry Bonds in. That's two he can't get down -- he he actually had. Up until the last twelve seconds of the you know I can't I can't tip the steroid guys can't get the steroid guys -- -- the -- I would say I think honestly I mean. It is one thing I'd like the credit to the baseball you know antiquated old is the key bombs like bonds out. If it were up to look at -- in the rest of the outwards who don't wanna take a moral standards he's a coward. He's got -- he's got no guts takes guts to say. -- while ago that's a little -- say you know wants -- NC. Cheater on. Not to miss it and it gets that that's ever been our guys I don't profess to -- and that's anonymously takes more -- expert with its -- to vote for them at this point -- not -- -- he's he's no belt because here's your explanation did you future exploration you vote for them. I don't want them more allies -- -- even -- and bottom dollar and -- dumber than that you know what you know what you get for an explanation from guys like that. I don't know who taught and who didn't right to vote for everybody. Right I don't know I actually have the guts to make a hard decision I actually heard -- -- -- -- why Greg Maddux didn't take steroids -- it's a believable. You know he might want you know needed that boost when he got hurt which by the way to -- a perfectly legitimate question of course is what you can do is that you can't vote based on media. Emotionally it's -- not -- -- -- and I have no proof that they did he have to vote for so you think I'll -- It should be no I don't I don't the not so you'd make an immoral. Judgment a moral decision right -- us that. It is what laboratory has a problem right at the moment our lives as you did yesterday's bad -- it that your vote doesn't matter when one guy missed the whole thing by two votes. Your vote matters although his boat actually had I don't I don't my budget it's that the individual little -- at the end you know at the escort retired is the king of the -- effort. He's just the ultimate fan boy I mean he -- when he's in the presence of athletes he's like a twelve year old boy it really is. You get in front of an athlete whether it's a far. -- -- Palmeiro. LeBron would have I mean he gets. Actually literally for a stunning. I think he went into sports journalism just just so he could see athletes naked that's what he that's why he doesn't. And when he cycle that's. That's what his goal is when he went into the field of sports journalism maybe like action and all I know I have sources made -- I have source exercise and or hurt him in if you -- nobody else think the -- he's -- -- that -- -- whole purpose in getting into the field is seen naked -- when they get other goals but that was the ultimate -- see athletes make which an athlete you know he had in mind I was so much for your own struggles. Maybe maybe but but that's what he does this whole. Life is defending. Circling the wagons around athletes you know he doesn't care if -- -- doesn't care of the beat the wives do drugs. Athletes are special to him when he's around them he glow you know I like to you know I like that why -- pro. -- guitar doing is selling this today it's been about it -- -- excel he says he didn't get a dollar that's -- says the same thing. It pisses off guys like John Damon. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Old guard guy and you agreed with them on almost every point right. Eloquent man happens to John -- tweeting how angry is that the stuff that -- before. He's defending -- and Chris courage and his bravery attracts me will point -- Larry pointed out and we agreed that that was -- by the way art critic has a mileage that the the ballot that the fans selected here. Pretty reasonable ballot -- embassy. Killings on there at the right big studios on the I want to generate here and it it's hard for me to come -- one of these that I would say it doesn't belong. Greg Maddux got a problem Alex policy people have a problem that sixteen riders left that. Sixteen riders left him off -- well I agree with those -- I'm one -- whole problem he got 97%. Out wouldn't get from the idea it's one victory away. I thought the big problem what Bernard had -- it was unanimous. Pragmatic. Leopard its own ballot it was unanimous hundreds of thousands of about. A foot putt there are hundreds of riders right hundreds of writers write -- and I I think men should be unanimous I hate that argument that Willie Mays was unanimous that action beat. But isn't self correcting season. 97%. He's not -- he doesn't stay up -- no punishment. Max is a hall of -- today right did he get 97% get almost in all and so Gary you're generally don't get Jerry getting around for so -- these these guys have piazza in should be hall of fame right. And. He said that yesterday -- should be in the hall of I would -- said that yesterday they have piazza and -- -- your your your guys your your voters don't -- how many in my family has already -- -- you said yesterday should be Ambien in her -- don't -- it if he doesn't get better -- got guys got to -- that. Did you get these guys -- -- that's just that's what we're telling them what he talks about the LOK okay all right your guys. -- -- guys 9% of -- vote -- Mike Timlin. -- we should really leave it to the people -- in the hall of fame JT snow 5% of them voted for JT snow right how many woods sends the right of zero yes I get a vote thank you. So more and more -- -- more of your guys more of these. Iconic young hipster -- voted for JT snow and Mike Timlin and and -- -- -- Sean Casey and Richie Sexson. These idiots that that took labor -- vote. 9% in public then I'll actually should be and how -- yes I do. He's on the -- on their ballot and guess what he's. These idiots who vote for the hall -- eighteen years you have to give him these idiots 29% think Kurt shall we should be a hall of Famer I designer 2% think Tom Glavine. I agree with. More people think will be Smith should be -- all -- Curt -- these people who do this for a living comic apps coming toward lasting legal in the clubhouse is for 25 years. I guess the -- these don't have to hear act like these guys these people that's been -- just as qualified as the hospital might have much real firm that brilliant you're out -- -- -- good ballot here's the thing one thing -- tart said that he was right about one thing. The system is broke. And it is I disagree and it is ridiculous is anybody ever gonna get -- opinion today besides yours evidently I'm just curious if we're gonna get to have one that doesn't agree on the -- -- -- he result. It is broken. Eight system that allows -- -- part of vote and Vin Scully doesn't have one is broken. I'm amused me an example of a guy who watches baseball every single day one and avatar. Avatar has covered baseball in a year that's a good point he should hasn't covered all that they care document carefully covered baseball every day. I mean I feel like I'm sort of got replica just disqualified. It's been eligible for the whole thing I mean I just. I can look at numbers I watch baseball because of ensco is -- I'm sorry it is exact same thing it is ridiculous that Gerry Callahan has a Heisman. I -- ridiculous. You don't want to college football a year I guess I do -- do I put the TV on and watch what's on at recess and what is the background it Gilani here and Woodstock and and and when it comes time to vote I'd read everything is the don't ask me who to vote for. It was years ago besides that meter. Really. Knew his college football more than -- -- -- -- show -- that's why I deferred to him and then he blew it and that was ridiculous that you have a that is not true that is not true do you think I do my homework -- think I read -- look at this the -- I don't think that's right he. -- more homework on this convince scale ever. -- -- -- -- -- -- Vince Scully would sit there and break down the numbers and really immersed himself in instilling those with Mike Mussina is careers ERA pluses yours -- for somebody else I think that's a hard look did not know I don't I don't. That are right artists -- there just to -- that self important posing. Pandering fool. And it works I mean it works today. Even the guys criticism he's brilliant is he really huge star this guy talks about the the process of all of -- exit joke. Who uses his tottering old father as a prop on TV. Since it was post takes years this column. Puts his father exploits its own father process let -- hot. Since he father -- father's doing not really that not -- My only -- reaction. And hysterical and nobody watches the show nobody even knows exists but people of the respect him because. You know he's he's managed to partly very. -- partly this oversized ego -- whole career of their lucrative career. And I've got my point is running blame. My point is not that -- -- belt but my points the fans can vote just as well as any one of these guys if you get a 100000 voters from fans that we -- about that's what you wanna do justice representative it's just representatives of the bush is selected -- -- -- have one -- the year went to France like absence. I got one vote that so do you have mattered Biggio to -- you think the MVP should be fans -- the NFL -- -- we have one vote do you think. Heisman should be just fans a vote to show a -- to yes or not element. Right -- all -- this five -- Hillary do it one vote for -- usually based on the -- is significant. This is a 500 optimize. All the fame voters in baseball. He wanna give one that the -- -- let's solve the problem sent you that the fans to vote for for the Heisman this year. They would vote secondly everyone else it wouldn't give the vote for -- American League MVP. Cabrera probably right probably yes so what's the difference people that what's that sheriff mark anybody else -- -- know they put your yes they do. What's the difference you just said what's different so it's really not significant won't change and you just make you feel better. As Europe populist like Atlantic and the author of how I got -- My point is yesterday and this this is it better -- final agreement with Barnes a climate that's fine it's a different but this is a better ballot then these guys came up with yesterday I did it -- some of I disagree on what some of them and we could go -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- right -- -- -- -- three -- -- -- 90%. -- -- a -- -- -- -- -- that's. What I -- -- these areas that wait let me just correct you here here's the problem. The fans who voted on the day it's been ballot you can vote for everybody wanted. There was no limitation you could vote for a hundred guys and -- too which is why guys like -- in channel park got votes. Now I also think it's ridiculous. That the hall of fame limits you to ten guys. I don't bus rolled over the Muster only who is brilliant and who puts the homework and said his list had seventeen games. He thought hall of fame worthy names but because of the limitations -- the -- puts on him he said I couldn't vote for Curt Schilling even though I think he's hall of fame worthy. He didn't make the topic it would work -- all good and in -- seventeen guys conducted all my yard I'd be horrible what what what -- Fifty anarchy. It basically -- fifty years and years just so you can spread it out yeah I mean there's there's. These things are self correcting this idea that it's scandal. That people didn't vote for Maddux I think it's stupid that you would vote for Maddux doesn't matter in the end. I then you think a guy who looks at the numbers -- to Max triggered 55 wins the cy -- everything it says. A pass I don't know the excesses I don't vote for guys on the first which is why oh why dumbest thing I've ever hurt and why does it matter in the end. I think it's idiotic but why does it matter why does you happy to have a widely Mays didn't get in the first DiMaggio didn't get in the -- and a personal. Ali you weren't voting for Willie -- or Joseph demolished -- whoever you lark. If you haven't got a reason. Then you shouldn't have a vote. If you're too stupid to come up with -- -- and that's the reason now that's not a reason Anthony -- Douglas does -- -- -- -- -- I kind of call -- where does it matter. And it is that -- urgency can. Yes can Guernica is as big of attention he's here is left him but at least -- but people and and you probably right people's you know wasn't brave. Let me -- -- -- the biggest self promote an -- -- question a question and he's gonna pretend that -- actually say I don't want this to be about me. Let's all be about him away demand an end to -- follow up that and I give him Kirk and all the credit in the world. He goes on Dan -- -- showed yesterday. And refute exactly what Dan limit our access which one do you think instigate more of a national discussion your way or mine. Well I think the I think the focus is now on you and not -- process and that's the problem is you have said. This is broke and I am going to start a movement on my radio show to get this changed. Here's how we got to do it I'm not come both this year and I'm going to encourage others not to vote until we get it. Street that it would be about the process instead I think it's about you and I think that unfortunate. He's much diplomat. Being free and know exactly and I get all about getting -- -- correction could keep it keep his cool I couldn't because. I mean the idea and he's doing to pander. To -- did spins. And the did spin crowd that's way you know let the public's nothing more than to be applauded by you know the hip ironic young. It's been crowd so he's enhances -- over -- them knowing that they will. Reciprocate. Now and forever. He's you know he's always and that is a hero finished in the -- what he wants roughly Obama to be in the -- that's what he wants. You want to know you want that many hands are plotting due to Omaha but again I don't like about our -- no -- what he did well on that zero in the end -- -- if if if Paul -- gets 75% of the vote. -- -- -- -- -- Ever ever -- that's good did you baseball writers of America these guys that Merrill. And did though they didn't -- bay did not laboratory wants -- pocket but the most -- guys have -- what is -- -- the decision on our bodies up about why does he think this is thankful to the baseball writers of America. Keeping him out -- -- would put him in. -- the tactics the system's broken one what is he says it's typically a psychic as I can our guys man and he accuses bonds and fine that's fine bonds Clemens. If you put bonds and Clemens and you have to put Romero and McGwire and he wants -- and -- about issued to the -- the only you know you don't demoralize elbit. McGwire a hall of fame worthy you see is not his numbers don't they help hold -- don't. Nothing else please dale he's not Els automatic all the fan I just about steroids. You pick a guy with 583 Armand is why shouldn't be in the hall of -- well I'm assuming that you you have to do more than just hit home run well I hope you all may work at home runs RB -- on base percentage really high. -- player he says he had to Gallardo went a bit besides we're brought up a Mark -- which is say no steroids. Those numbers come up on the ballot he gets in the first day when we were grown I -- -- -- with 400 he has almost 600 omens. But. Marrow lock lock hall of Famer. Damn advertisers upset because we looked the other way and say this lying cheating fraud. God does not belong up there on stage with Greg Maddux Tom Glavin of Frank Thomas that's. Why he thinks the system's broken so you said you agree this isn't broken but you have a whole different view slight. I I I wanna take the boat completely away from the BB WA. Only to whom who gets the ILE no not tell you what I'd wanna deal. I wanna put together and I'll just -- -- number for the sake of discussion I wanna put together a committee of twenty people. And and they're voted they they are elected for a five year period they are the selection committee hall and much like the microphone all eyes. You're gonna stick -- that on a -- a hotel in Cooperstown New York for a long weekend. And at the end of the weekend it's going to be like the white smoke coming from the Vatican and we're gonna know who the hall of famers are. But I want guys who actually why I don't know like watched the games. Like what Bill James might be the most brilliant baseball statistical mind of our time doesn't have a boat rental sorry you're not -- not work. Should be should be he would want demoralized either. The fact that the battery as you deserve -- voice I mean people like Dan and lemon -- have a vote right now let's -- this he writes books as voices. This happens to be voted on by the baseball writers of America I'm OK with that I think they -- and I had to and did a bad job yesterday. Do you almost you you thought that's what I predict he predicted I was wrong I got -- we rugby you know students and -- stuff who was the fifth. Piazza that he thought might sneak in debt and is how -- fifteen years. So guys will gain and didn't in the unions like BG he's nuts with Jack Moore says -- gently -- treated him eventually. I hope that -- and when you look at the climb like -- lot of Blyleven because of steroids and the factories views the clean guy all the low. I think to be tough for garlic. Schilling together and with if Lipitor were charged as you have to make room you know for and Canseco. -- Canseco. 440 home runs a lot MVP. And -- wanna -- a business reason wired hasn't it in my vote the only number you can give me from -- it -- and hall of fame -- I know he cheated to get. -- twelve time all star telling quality home runs that he hit without steroids. But that's exactly what I want you and I don't cry but Hamlet but I'd want to ignore that if you ignore the steroids and look at McGwire as a player and I I would not -- that because he's -- used steroids he's eighth all time and slugging. Hampton home runs hit all time in OP yes in history and that's a guy who we get and what percent. Would vote him out with. All right but I think what what his numbers be like clean I don't know and my guess is that although -- -- -- -- this happened this -- rebel and habitat is really. -- -- -- -- -- Clemens McGwire Palmeiro he wants them all in just -- -- as -- one moral lies this guy make in this expand -- thing rebel. Whose whole issue is I don't want more lights and wanna judge players as one judge -- He wants the game in public debt levels are probably but let the parts of this is that you know what actually think if we went to dad's been polled. 150000 fans that do a better job -- I would do the right to be -- if he did that. And and what proves well away just gave about to these guys they producing don't know because I know where he's coming from and -- come whoever voter why isn't frustrated because he can't get odds. You know why they're gonna strip his ballot from him. Because he's in a hole because he signed. He's seen the original rabbit that's a good sign. He said this is my ballot -- my -- -- -- right here. -- -- say you know what I group all ten of those happens sorry tech guys noted they'll let out he signed it he doesn't get -- but what does everyone -- for seventeen you think that. I don't -- -- guys I don't think everybody what. Look what you're notable for not gonna say look it's a crummy years are last year another you're gonna look at music. I'm sorry that ten doesn't upset -- reactionary because that's what's going on right now -- but -- right now just have to change a deterrent to fifteen to seventeen unlimited for five years from now. Every situation will be flawed in this case I give the writers group one thing. They don't take it lightly unless you're -- -- of -- want to do publisher before La -- terrible the guys you know McCadam. You know honestly I mean. But I see all of the guys nobody else do you think he took it seriously well yeah that is Edgar and he's going to get in -- athletic I don't out. Jerry though that's true you're probably about the six got a lot of six guys who voted for in Omaha but the six guys vote for -- but the two -- to vote for -- to -- -- for snow. But the guys look for but these guys self talk show I guess for Kenny -- correcting is over 500 -- dramatic doesn't matter because that's about thirty guys right that it mattered but the point they hit the point so they get what they get there it's a matter there that's what I. God you're used my argument you -- -- say these guys that a better job. That's it really so the 1980 -- -- John nice -- 8% who voted for noble did a better just different it's ugly and it Ryan intimacy they did about Georgia. Just impossible even though I don't know he has a I don't unions yeah. -- -- -- expelled was as thick as that extra points out by the effort Alley at the time and I guess about eight trickster brings a great point you get two guys who right now right for golf digest. Haven't covered baseball for years. They still got to vote they vote for I don't know -- but quickly pointed it I don't care -- -- they follow the game they're job is the cover well I a lot of these guys. Right about their selection process right and they show you their ballot that is why they voted that's rare. You don't see that for every election and every award re on our. I think in a lot of ways. It works -- -- a lot of discussion does not 6177797937. The -- he -- minus 37937. We will talk to Curt Schilling and -- five. I'll we will talk believe it or not to Mike Tyson at 905 -- vote -- I don't know. He'd probably put -- bought -- that -- target I'd prefer to have done this anonymously.

Rapid Buses To Serve Suburbs?
"Montgomery County Council member Marc Elrich thinks he might have found a way to let the suburbs grow without putting more cars on the roads: Build a rapid bus system that can speed past traffic.
Rapid buses, sleek vehicles that look like trams or light-rail cars, run on alternative fuels and can include comfortable seating, WiFi, multiple doors and cashless fares. They operate in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and Pittsburgh, among other cities. They are planned for a dozen other jurisdictions, including New York, Atlanta, Albany, N.Y., and Hartford, Conn. Rapid buses are used in Australia, China, England, France and South America.
In the next decade, thousands more people are expected to move into Montgomery, pushing the county's population to more than 1 million. Despite expected increases in housing density that will make parts of the county look like small cities, there is little urban-style infrastructure, such as sidewalks or closely spaced Metro stops. Many residents get in their cars for the shortest of trips.
A rapid bus system may be the cheapest and quickest way to add seats for new riders, said Lurae Stuart, a bus expert at the American Public Transportation Association. "It is flexible, too. You can do something very low-cost and then move up the scale."
Rapid buses can run on paved medians, or special bus guideways, without competing with car traffic. The buses often are longer and more luxurious than standard Metrobuses. They use magnetized fare card systems and often have station stops that look like rail stops.
"It is what a real transit system in a real city would do," Elrich said.
Cost is always a concern, but Metro senior planner Jim Hughes said that over time, faster bus systems could boost revenue and increase efficiency. Metro officials want to add about 20 express bus routes in the next seven years across the region to the four it has. In Montgomery, possible routes are Veirs Mill Road and Georgia Avenue."
