FORT MILL — Roman Catholics across York County were "stunned" to wake up Monday to news that Pope Benedict XVI will step down at the end of the month, but there likely will be little or no immediate effect on the area's thousands of Catholic families.
Still, the news shocked even local clergy, who had no inkling that Benedict was going to abdicate. He said Monday morning he no longer has the strength to continue, becoming the first pope in about 600 years to abdicate.
York County is home to The Oratory, two Catholic churches in Rock Hill and one each in Fort Mill, York and Lake Wylie.
More than 40 people attended the noon Mass at The Oratory chapel Monday, and blurted, "What?" when the news was announced by the priest. Louise and Jack Clinton afterward called the announcement "shocking."
At daily Mass Monday morning at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Fort Mill, Father Joe Pearce brought up the news and reaction from the faithful. Many of the dozens of parishioners in attendance stared at a picture of Benedict hanging in the sanctuary throughout the service.
Pearce asked the congregation to pray for Benedict and for the church, nation and world.
"The pope has determined that the church needs a new leader," Pearce said, "and I commend him for making a mature decision in the best interest of all."
Pearce prayed for the future of Benedict, 85, and the church, asking that God "allow for someone younger to take the reins."
After Mass, Pearce said he understood the surprised reaction from Catholics.
"This hasn't happened in about 600 years and all of a sudden it happened," Pearce said. "People do want answers about what it means."
St. Philip Neri has boomed in recent years, as Fort Mill has grown with thousands of transplanted people from the Northeast and Midwest. Other parishes in Lake Wylie and Indian Land also have seen an increase in membership, especially among retirees who have moved to the area.
St. Philip Neri parishioner Peggy Hagen offered up a prayer for Benedict during the portion of Mass when prayers of the people are voiced.
"Let us all pray for the courage of Pope Benedict and his successor," she said.
After the service, Hagen said Catholics should not consider the action a resignation.
"The pope is abdicating, stepping aside really," Hagen said. "He was secretary to the previous pope (John Paul II). He knows better than anyone what the duties are and whether he can perform those duties."
Speculation will now center on whether a new pope might be chosen from South America, Africa or Asia, where hundreds of millions of Catholics live.
"That would be a good thing," Hagen said.
It also would be a first.
JoAnn Brown was "plainly stunned and shocked," by the pope's decision, but she appreciates that it was done for reasons that might strengthen the church.
"This must have been the most difficult decision of his life, to step down," Brown said.
Another St. Philip Neri worshipper, Beverly Schneider, used the word "saddened" as well as "very stunned," to describe her emotional reaction to the decision.
"I am sad he is too ill to stay to the end, to continue to lead the church," she said.
The pope is "the boss" of 1 billion Catholics worldwide in lay terms, said Father John Giuliani, provost of The Oratory, a Catholic brotherhood in Rock Hill that administrates area Catholic parishes.
"Certainly it was surprising, but it seems like it comes at a good time for him, when he can clearly make this decision and knows that he is slowing down," Giuliani said. "People in the church will surely be talking about this, but I saw him do a baptism just a couple of weeks ago, and he had others assisting him."
The pope is "pastor of the whole church," the bishop of Rome and the top religious leader for all Catholics, Giuliani said. The pope gives direction and guidance to church members worldwide, and a successor now becomes the focus of Catholics.
"There will be much prayer about it, but the workings of the church will not be affected much, if any," Giuliani said. "When Pope John Paul II – he was Polish – was elected, that was a big deal as he was not Italian.
"But the church will continue. It always does. The church always seems to pull through."
Giuliani was close to Benedict six years ago at a service at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
"He was in a Jeep, and the Jeep rolled right up the steps and he got out," Giuliani said. "But in recent days he gets around on a cart. He must believe that it is the right time to leave."
Benedict is known for his kind heart and considerate ways, Giuliani said.
At St. Anne Catholic Church in Rock Hill, Deacon Jim Hyland said he was "still digesting the stunning news" that the pope is leaving by resignation.
Catholics will look toward the future, he said, and the pope made a "deliberate" decision to step aside while having all his "faculties" in place.
"In just my lifetime I have seen six popes," Hyland said. "Changes do come and people will talk about it and what it could mean, but the church will move forward deliberately, too."
The announcement will not affect Mass times, including Wednesday, Giuliani said. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten season for Catholics and other denominations, and most parishes have services to mark the event.

The director of such off-beat independent films as In the Soup, director Alexandre Rockwell once again teams with that film's star to deliver this Los Angeles-based comedy concerning superstition and intersecting lives. Things aren't looking so good for television clown Banana's (Steve Buscemi) career, and the fact that his estranged wife, Suzi (Jennifer Beals), has just been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, Lily (Karyn Parsons), just serves to compound Banana's despair. Teaming with sidekick Binky (Peter Dinklage) to enlist the aid of bail-bondsman Mo (David Proval), Banana and Binky discover that Mo is currently negotiating the release of hip-hop mogul Lenny's (Daryl Mitchell) wife, Sandra (Rose Rollins). The hapless group soon teams to help Mo by finding a suitable kidney donor for the bail-bondsman's ailing son, and though they quickly happen across a drunk (Peter Stormare) who fits the bill, the trouble comes in keeping the prospect in the hospital. Doing their best to help Mo's son under increasingly chaotic circumstances, personal tensions flare as each character desperately tries to simultaneously battle their own inner demons. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In the same year that a hit cable television series, The Sopranos, successfully mined the same premise, this comedy about a mobster seeking advice from a psychiatrist was a box office winner for director Harold Ramis. Billy Crystal stars as Dr. Ben Sobel, a New York shrink who's becoming a little bored with his upscale but neurotic clientele. Into Sobel's practice comes a guy with legitimate problems, Mafia kingpin Paul Viti (Robert DeNiro), a godfather who is being reduced to tears and panic attacks by stress and his guilt over his beloved father's assassination. Intimidated but also fascinated by Viti, Dr. Sobel becomes frustrated when his mob boss patient becomes a full-time occupation, as Viti summons the psychiatrist for his professional help at all hours and in all places, even including the doctor's Florida wedding to TV reporter Laura MacNamara (Lisa Kudrow). In the meantime, a power struggle is brewing with Viti's long-time rival Primo Sidone (Chazz Palminteri), but Viti begins employing the feel-good self-help jargon and techniques he's learned from Dr. Sobel to keep his enemy off balance. Just as the therapist and his powerful patient are making breakthroughs, the FBI attempts to persuade Sobel that Viti is going to have him murdered, leading to a nearly lethal misunderstanding. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Louis & Frank
Alexandre Rockwell wrote and directed this follow-up to his award-winning In the Soup (1992) with a spin-off of two characters from his earlier success, singing landlords Louis Di Buffoni (Steven Randazzo) and Frank (Francesco Messina). Louis now has a family and a Queens removals business, while his cousin Frank has been training as a beautician in Sicily. Back in Queens, Frank suggests they return to professional singing. Billed as the Bitchin' Di Buffonis, they sign with unsuccessful talent manager Lenny Star Springer (Tony Curtis), who once managed a singing parrot that died. After debuting at a New Jersey bowling alley, they finally get a NYC booking -- but then learn they have to perform in drag. Steve Buscemi makes an uncredited appearance in drag. With a dream sequence in black-and-white, this comedy was shown at the 1998 Rotterdam Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Actor Stanley Tucci made his directorial debut with a strong cast in this Depression Era farce focusing on two struggling two New York actors. In opening scenes, Maurice (Oliver Platt) and Arthur (Tucci) fabricate a fake fight at an outdoor cafe, do acting exercises, audition for a theater director (Woody Allen in an uncredited cameo), stage a pastry shop argument (to get food), and watch over-the-top, Barrymoresque actor Jeremy Burtom (Alfred Molina) on Broadway in Hamlet. Later, Burtom overhears himself insulted by a drunken Maurice and gives chase, forcing Arthur and Maurice to hide in a box. When they awaken, the box has been moved onto a luxury liner bound for France. To evade Burtom, they pose as stewards, meeting passengers and crew members: Staff director Meistrich (Campbell Scott) fancies head stewardess Lily (Lili Taylor), who goes for ship detective Marco (Matt McGrath). Others on board include Greek wrestling enthusiast Sparks (Billy Connelly); a former European queen (Isabella Rossellini); a suicidal lounge vocalist (Steve Buscemi); and a revolutionary (Tony Shalhoub) planning to bomb the liner. Shown in the Certain Regard section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Character actor Steve Buscemi made his debut as a writer and director with this seriocomic tale of a guy who is going through something but doesn't know just what it is. Tommy is a 31-year-old auto mechanic who lost his last job after "borrowing" 1,500 dollars from the cash register and heading to Atlantic City, where he wasted no time losing it all at the tables. The fact that he can't get his own car to run isn't impressing any prospective employers, so Tommy spends much of his time at the Trees Lounge, a local watering hole conveniently located downstairs from his apartment. Eventually Tommy lands some work driving an ice cream truck and becomes acquainted with his ex-girlfriend's 17-year-old niece, Debbie (Chloë Sevigny). When they half-heartedly fall into a romance, it's just one more thing for Tommy to be confused about. Buscemi draws upon a rich cast of supporting actors, including Elizabeth Bracco, Anthony LaPaglia, Carol Kane, Debi Mazar, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mimi Rogers. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Nonetheless, he has a yen to marry a nice Asian girl, and contracts with a mail-order-bride service to marry Dalisay (Madeline Ortaliz), a young Filipina. She has entered into this arrangement because she wants to earn money for her impoverished family and for her sister to have a needed operation. It is not until they are married that Dalisay discovers that Dean, otherwise a decent enough husband, doesn't want her to work. This would not be a problem, except that Dean is unable to keep a job. Their efforts to cope with one another's needs and expectations form the backbone of this independent film production. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Hollywood wannabes struggle to succeed while striving for relationships that are doomed to fail in this gloomy comedy-drama from writer-director Alexandre Rockwell. Rosie Perez stars as Mercedes, a transplanted New Yorker now living in East L.A. and taxi dancing at a seedy Hollywood strip joint. Mercedes has dreams of achieving stardom as an actress, but her lack of talent means that her goal will probably always elude her. Her travels take her into contact with several eccentric characters including a sage transvestite (Steve Buscemi), a showbiz insider (Sam Fuller), a savvy bartender (Quentin Tarantino), and her useless agent George (Stanley Tucci). Although he won't leave his wife, Mercedes worships her boyfriend Harry Harrelson (Harvey Keitel), once a prominent actor on a TV western whose glory days are long past. In the meantime, Ernesto (Michael DeLorenzo), a faithful customer and gravedigger, falls helplessly in love with Mercedes, but his passion is unrequited, even though he tattoos Mercedes' name across his chest. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Jumpin' at the Boneyard
This bleak, provocative drama, the debut of filmmaker Jeff Stanzler, gives a haunting look at the effects of drug abuse upon those who care for the user. It tells the story of unemployed, depressed and just-divorced Bronx-resident Manny who hears burglars in his kitchen one morning and walks in to find his little brother Danny and Danny's girlfriend Jeanette rifling around for money to support their crack cocaine habits. Using the baseball bat he carries, Manny nearly beats his errant brother to death. He grabs their drugs and bundles them into his car for a long drive to the graveyard where their recently deceased father is buried. Thus begins a long, depressing journey between the disparate brothers as they try to make peace with their pasts and find redemption for their wasted lives amidst the ruins of their old neighborhood. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Written and directed by the ever-unpredictable Jim Jarmusch, Mystery Train is comprised of three short anecdotes involving foreign tourists in Tennessee. Each story is set in a fleabag Memphis hotel which has been redressed as a "tribute" to Elvis Presley. Story one involves two Japanese tourists whose devotion to '50s American rock music blinds them to everything around them. Story two finds eternal victim Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi) sharing a room with stone-broke Dee Dee (Elizabeth Bracco) and having her problems solved by a spectral vision of the King. And story three offers the further misadventures of Dee Dee, her no-good boyfriend, and her dysfunctional family. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Though John Badham's Stakeout doesn't flinch in the violence department, the film concentrates primarily on characterization. Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez play a pair of Seattle detectives, assigned to capture escaped hood Aidan Quinn. The twosome spends much of the film on stakeout in a lonely, deserted house; the object of their scrutiny is Madeline Stowe, Quinn's former girlfriend. Pretending to be a telephone repairman, Dreyfuss plants a bug in Stowe's apartment--thereby inaugurating a romance that compromises the detective's objectivity. In the climax, Quinn gets the upper hand--at least until the fists start flying. Perfect as it stood, Stakeout didn't need to be elaborated upon with a sequel, but Another Stakeout was produced all the same. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add The Color of Money to top of Queue
Oscar-nominated in 1961 for his performance as pool hustler Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler, Paul Newman won that award a quarter century later when he reprised the role in The Color of Money. At the end of The Hustler, Felson was banned for life from playing the game professionally. In the intervening years, he has become what the despicable George C. Scott was in the 1961 film: a front man for younger hustlers, claiming the lion's share of the winnings. His latest "client" is arrogant young Tom Cruise, who is goaded into accepting Felson's patronage by his avaricious girl friend Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Cruise learns not only the refinements of the game, but also the dirty trickery that will help him lure in the suckers. As Cruise becomes successful on these terms, Felson seethes with jealousy, hitting the bottle and carelessly allowing himself to fall victim to another hustler. He tells Cruise to get lost, and vows to make an honest comeback. It is inevitable from this point onward that the younger and the older player will square off in a game for the biggest stakes of all: Fast Eddie Felson's self-respect. Both the original Hustler and The Color of Money were based on novels by Walter Tevis. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Beautiful lamp- Install is critical
This is a beautiful addition to our remodel, BUT following the installion instructions is critical. We left the installation up to the contractor/electrician and it took some rework/relevel by my wife and me to make it right. Fortunately, we are soduku/crossword puzzle fans and were able to right all wrongs except for leveling (redone by the electrician). None of this was the fault of the manufacturer. By:Nancy T. , Homeowner (Mercer Island, WA)
For the price, I was a bit disappointed it was plastic.
Although the design is fantastic, I'm sure my clients will question the cost of a hanging light fixture that's made from plastic. The other hanging fixtures a great! I like the versatility of installing them separately or on a track. By:Tim R. , Architect (Danville, CA, U.S.)
The fixture is beautiful, elegant, sophisticated and modern in a very classic style.
I am extremely pleased with the fixture. Only criticism is that for the amount of wattage that the fixture produces I was hoping for more ambient illumination. By:Neal W. , Homeowner (San Francisco, CA)

Latvala, in a factory Ford Fiesta RS WRC, is set to drop behind Ford privateer Mads Ostberg in the title table providing the Norwegian holds position on Sunday's closing stages.
If Ostberg remains in fourth overall then he will increase his impressive points total for the year to 137 heading to the season finale in Spain next month. Although he will finish outside of the top 10 point-scoring positions in Italy, Latvala can narrow Ostberg's advantage to three points providing he scores three bonus points for winning the Power Stage with Ostberg fourth or lower in the times.
"My focus is on the Power Stage," said Latvala, who said his victory on stage 13 has handed him a crucial confidence boost following his exit on Friday morning.
One driver who won't be pushing to win the Power Stage is event leader Mikko Hirvonen. The Citroen driver said: "I don't need the points from that stage. I just need to bring the car home safely now and concentrate on winning the rally."
The Power Stage is the second 8.24-kilometre Gallura test and goes live at 11:00hrs local time.

- With Mayo Clinic rheumatologist
April Chang-Miller, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
April Chang-Miller, M.D.
April Chang-Miller, M.D.
Dr. April Chang-Miller is board certified in internal medicine and rheumatology and is a consultant in the Division of Rheumatology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
Dr. Chang-Miller's primary field is rheumatology with special interests in inflammatory joint diseases called seronegative spondyloarthropathies, such as ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. She also cares for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica.
The New York City native is a graduate of the Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Chang-Miller joined the Mayo Clinic staff in Rochester, Minn., in 1991, and in 2002 she relocated to Mayo Clinic in Arizona. She is a fellow in the American College of Rheumatology and has been on the board of directors of the Arthritis Foundation North Central Chapter.
Palindromic rheumatism: Does it cause joint pain?
I sometimes have joint pain caused by palindromic rheumatism. As I get older, are these attacks likely to damage my joints?
from April Chang-Miller, M.D.
Palindromic rheumatism is closely linked to rheumatoid arthritis, which damages joints by causing chronic inflammation. Right now, though, there's no reliable way to predict how quickly palindromic rheumatism will progress — or whether it will get worse at all.
Palindromic rheumatism causes sudden attacks of joint pain and swelling, typically in the hands and feet. An episode of palindromic rheumatism may last from just a few hours to several days.
The frequency of attacks also varies. Some people experience more than one episode a week, while others have only three or four a year. Between attacks, pain and swelling completely disappear, and the affected joints look normal on X-rays.
An unknown number of people with palindromic rheumatism go on to develop rheumatoid arthritis, but the progression may take several years. In one study, 40 out of 60 people newly diagnosed with palindromic rheumatism had chronic joint inflammation within 10 years. Progression to rheumatoid arthritis was less common in other studies with shorter follow-up periods.
Drugs originally designed to combat malaria are often helpful in reducing the frequency and duration of attacks. These drugs also appear to reduce the likelihood that palindromic rheumatism will progress to rheumatoid arthritis.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
This month we look at photo stitching, photo gallery software, and the Atunes music player.
In our age of digital cameras, most people manage to shoot fairly good pictures. But to really impress with your photos, you need something more spectacular. Have you ever considered image stitching? Image stitching is a digital technique that involves tacking multiple images together to form a large-format panorama image. Photo stitching is gaining popularity now that digital cameras are inexpensive and small enough to fit in your pocket. A good camera does not guarantee an attractive panorama – you need the perfect tool to stitch the images together, or you could spend days tinkering in GIMP.

Track Talk: With track size, bigger is not necessarily better
One of the most frequently asked questions that I have regularly posed to me concerns the length of our tri-oval racetrack at Iowa Speedway. If I've heard it once, I've heard it ten thousand times . . . "Why didn't you just make it a mile and a half, or maybe two miles?"
That question evolved from a popular misconception of the criteria for building a racetrack in the first place and, of course, the myth that with racetracks, as with theme parks, bigger is always better'
Specifically regarding the length of racetracks, that misconception has perpetuated a belief among some folks that if a track isn't a mile or more, it really doesn't qualify as a big league facility.

It's wild and beautiful, inspiring and friendly :) The walks are magnificent, there are many places to visit and to eat as well as a Community Market to purchase local produce, arts and crafts.
On a pleasant day, we visited here. The views are wonderful and you can decide what distances you want to walk, depending on the time you have, or your capability, age etc. A short distance from Bantry, and the fresh air will certainly swell your appetite for dinner in the evening. Also, a pleasant coffee/snack bar for refreshments available.
I wouldn't consider myself a "walker," but while staying on the peninsula, I figured I would give it a try - well, I was hooked. The B&B I where was staying (Seamount Farmhouse-highly recommended) provided me with a walking map and I was off. I did a few of the shorter walks, but the Sheepshead was my favorite. The first...

One of the most beautiful areas in Ireland! Be prepared for narrow roads with hairpin turns, but the spectacular views are well worth the white knuckles!
This is a lovely place, idyllic actually. For drivers new to driving on the left.....careful attention must be made to the turns, etc. Well worth the drive. Take your camera.
A very scenic part of Ireland - very tranquil. Totally recommend it as an unspoiled area of Ireland.
The drive up to the sheep's head is a little daunting the road is very narrow and is a steep climb up to the top. There are deep dykes on one side and a very long drop down into the sea at the other side. It is very difficult to pass if you meet other traffic coming against you, one... More
Great for wild walks in beautiful countryside if it is not raining, it was a fantastic day when I went
After seven visits I still cannot wait to go again. The quiet beautiful scenery with beautiful walks is fabulous.
rugged and beautiful sea on both sides excellent, but challenging hiking trail at the end of peninsula

There's probably a number of ways to break these pitches up and it appeared some possible variations on some of the pitches. Climb a great crack on the first pitch. Where this crack ends there is a bolted protected the face moves above. With a 60 meter rope you can take it all the way to a ledge where you can belay at the base of a left-facing dihedral. Climb the dihedral and belay at a ledge or continue up another crack before belaying at a ledge left of the crack at the base of a chimney. We thought the next pitch was great. Climb up the steep chimney which you can stay out of by climbing the well-featured face and continue up and right until you come to the large chimney below the summit block of the Warlock. Face climb past some bolts to the summit of the Warlock. If you've been to the Needles you know moderates are in short supply and Imaginary Voyage is a good, moderate route that gets great afternoon sun when it gets hot.
Located on the east or southeast face of the Warlock. Go around the north side of the Witch and past the Howling. Descend the gully between the Warlock and Voodoo Dome. It's been a while, but I remember looking for a crack on the face left o f a large dihedral. There is a bolted face route just right of Imaginary Voyage. There's a descent topo on Clint Cumming's Needles site.
Standard rack.
We had a topo that recommended doing this in 3 pitches. Kind of a bad idea. Ended up doing it in 5 (recommend doing it in 4 or 5). While you can stretch a rope and do it in 3, the ledgy, blocky, and rambling nature of the upper pitches make it unpleasant due to drag. Use the std p1, then break them up where convenient but count on belaying the last pitch at the base of the 6" crack if you don't want bad drag for the 5.9ish face climbing to the summit. The "5.9" low angle ramp with a bolt right off the 1st belay, is maybe 5.7. Final wide crack is short, maybe 15'. Beware at the end, the topo shows a 2 bolt face finish, but there are actually two bolted face finishes leading out of the chimney/trough, one with at least three visible bolts starting midway back in the trough (wrong finish) or one with two bolts starting closer to the outside/face (correct finish). There are two options leading to the base of the final wide crack, a grassy handcrack (fantastic but needs more traffic to stay clean), or a very featured face with no pro. Both are about the same difficulty (5.8ish) and both offer high quality climbing...but the face is clean and interesting with big features...so take the face. First pitch is really long, and "chimney" pitch turns out to require no chimneying but has really cool moves to make the pitch much easier than it initially looks. Climbing itself is great, but deduct one star for rambling/blocky nature.
Add one star if it's one of the climbs you are capable of leading in the Needles. A great moderate less sustained climb. I spent several years raft guiding in Kernville and made several trips each season to the Needles mostly taking other raft guides so I got to/had to lead every pitch. Got spanked on Igor once, mostly stuck to White Punks, Magic Dragon and this one.
The first pitch, after the initial dihedral, is a long and sustained wide crack. Stoutness! Descent info: From the bolts at the summit, rap (less than 100'- not sure how far) to the big ledge where there are two bolts (20-30 feet right of the final wide crack)and a manky fixed rope. Next, rap approximately 110' - 115' to a two-bolt anchor which is somewhat climber's right from the last anchor at the ledge. You go over a couple of edges/ledges before you can see it. We only had a 60 meter rope, so my friend had to downclimb the last 10 feet, after attaching a cordelette from his harness to the anchor for security. The final rap to the ground is just under a 100', provided you land climber's left on the sloping ground. Trend left so you don't rap off the end of your 60 meter rope. Edit: there are probably other ways to descend = this is how we did it.
Manky fixed rope is now gone. Also, one of the bolts the fixed rope was hanging from broke with less than body weight. More here: www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1843599/Broken-bolt-on-the->>>
This may be a little quibbling, but I think there are a couple of short sections that felt like pretty standard 5.9: the exit moves at the top of the 4th and transitioning from the wide crack to the chimney on the 5th. Also, on the 4th pitch, we climbed straight up from the grassy crack to reach the thin crack/flake that parallels the chimney to the left. Where the crack starts petering out it's easy to step left and down on jugs into the left crack above the chimney portion. You'll have to be careful to rig your pro so the rope isn't running over the edge, but the climbing was fun and exposed.

Contracts & Free Agents
Breaking up the monotony of my daily fantasy baseball Player Profiles, I thought it would be a good thing to take a look around the league at some of the players who have signed deals or who are looking for a new home for the 2013 baseball season.
Jonathan Broxton received a 3-year deal, with a club option ($9 million), for $21 million to stay with the Reds. This means two things. Aroldis Chapman is headed to the starting rotation. It's a risk after his magnificent season – 38 saves, 1.51 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 15.32 K/9 – but I think it's a risk worth taking. In my opinion, and we see this every year, you don't have to be an elite talent to have success in the 9th inning. Plus, Aroldis has to be more valuable pitching seven innings 30 times than just 71.2 innings out of the bullpen like he did last year, right (note: Reds' pitching coach Bryan Price said Chapman will be on an IP count in '13 but would not mention what the number is)? That is if the team has a viable 9th inning option to turn to. Broxton may not be that guy. I'm a big fan of the 2.22 GB/FB ratio he posted last season, and that 2.48 ERA is also a solid mark, but I'm still greatly concerned. Broxton's heater is down three mph from his heyday, and his K/9 mark of 6.98 last season was four full batters below his career average. Four. He also walked fewer batters than even before (his BB/9 was down a full batter), and there is little reason to think he will be able to keep the number that low again. I see trouble ahead with Broxton working the 9th.
Zack Greinke is gonna get paid. Oh is he. Buster Olney of ESPN suggests that a source told him there might even be chance that Greinke will be able to better the record $161 million deal given to CC Sabathia. Even if he doesn't get there, a deal of six years and $150 million seems immanently possible.
Jair Jurrjens is not likely to be back with the Braves. Who can blame them. He posted a 6.89 ERA and 1.86 WHIP last season in 11 outings while spending a large portion of the year in Triple-A where he didn't exactly stand out (4-6, 4.98 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 4.85 K/9). He's nothing more than a 5th starter in the big leagues despite the success that he has found in the past.
Francisco Liriano is now talking with the Twins who literally have one pitcher in their starting rotation – Scott Diamond. Apparently they haven't gotten enough of a guy who has gone 15-22 with an ERA over 5.00 the past two years.
Wilton Lopez has been dealt to the Phillies (the deal isn't official yet). Jonathan Papelbon is obviously locked into the 9th inning for the Phils, but Lopez will be an able bodied setup man. Coming off his best season (career bests in ERA 2.17, K/9 7.33 and GB/FB 2.60), Lopez should be an excellent setup man as well as a positive own in NL-only leagues.
Russell Martin is looking for a 4-year deal for $36-40 million. I think he's been huffing paint. Still, it seems like he'll get at least three years and $25 million from someone (John Heyman reports that the Pirates are likely to go that high). Martin last hit .250 in 2009, hasn't stolen double-digit bags since 2009 and has watched his OBP go down 4-straight years to last seasons career worst .311. That's a lot of junk to pay $8 mil a year for just to get 20 homers (13 of his 21 homers were at home last year where the ball flies out of the yard with frequency).
Andy Pettitte will pitch for the Yankees in 2013 after agreeing to a one year, $12 million deal. Pettitte is coming off a fantastic 12 start season that saw him post the second best ERA (2.87) and WHIP (1.14) of his career. Given that his career marks are 3.86 and 1.35, and that he is 40 years old, you'd be foolish to expect him to be as effective next season as he was last season.
Mark Reynolds seems unlikely to remain in Baltimore. Someone will pay the slugger even though he's coming off a down season of .221 with 23 homers and 69 RBIs. Don't forget that the previous three seasons (2009-11) that this guy averaged 38 homers, 91 RBIs and 87 runs scored a season.
Finally… Carlos Ruiz is a moron. Ruiz was suspended for 25 games for using Adderall (a medication for ADHD that is often used illegally by players to help sharpen their focus). Ruiz is an idiot for cheating, but there is also another layer of idiocy here. The first positive test for amphetamines results in further testing but NO suspension. That means that Ruiz failed the test – twice. I'm just gonna say it flat out – there is no doubt that Ruiz is a cheater.

Cirque: City Lights, Dark Nights, to be held Saturday, will benefit the Detroit Institute of Arts. / Tracey Nawrot/Special to Metromix
Cheli's Chili Bar will host Detroit's first Cupid's Undie Run on Saturday. These runners raced last year in Washington, D.C. / Rob Wanenchak
The Detroit Institute of Arts Founders Junior Council is ready for some wintertime partying. On Saturday, the group of young professionals is getting together to host Cirque: City Lights, Dark Nights.
"Cirque is the Founders Junior Council's glamorous winter extravaganza balancing the FJC's summer fund-raising event, Fash Bash," says spokeswoman Caroline Marks. "Bringing people to the museum for a spectacular event is one of the most vital roles the Founders Junior Council fills for the DIA. The museum relies on Cirque to be a vibrant midwinter fête where supporters can celebrate the unique gem we have in the DIA."
This will be only the second time Cirque has been held at the DIA. Past events have been at the Masonic Temple and the Roostertail.
Saturday's event includes cocktails, food, music from DJ Prevu and percussionist Jared Sykes and a private viewing of "Motor City Muse: Detroit Photographs, Then and Now."
8 p.m.-12:30 a.m. Saturday, DIA, 5200 Woodward, Detroit. 313-833-7900. $75. Go to www.dia.org for tickets.
Bar Blast pub crawl: After you spend the day skating on the ice rink at Campus Martius, roasting s'mores and catching music on one of the four stages at the Motown Winter Blast, you can keep the fun going into the night Saturday at the Bar Blast pub crawl.
The seventh annual Winter Blast afterparty includes continuous shuttle service linking the Anchor Bar, Bookies, Centaur, Town Pump Tavern, Bleu, Fountain Bistro, Big City, Level Two, Old Shillelagh, Delux, the Dirty Trick and Fishbone's.
"It really did start off slow," organizer John Badanjek says of the Bar Blast's beginnings. "I think it took people a while to actually realize how great it is."
Participants can spend as much or as little time in each of the venues as they want because the shuttles will be doing continuous loops. Drink specials will be available, and the Westin Book Cadillac is offering special Winter Blast rates on hotel rooms.
"What we're finding is more and more people are taking advantage of the discounted hotel rates in Detroit," Badanjek says. "A lot of people come down, go to Winter Blast, have dinner and stay at the hotel. It's quite the bargain."
Wristbands for the pub crawl can be purchased at any of the venues mentioned above.
The shuttles will run from 9:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
9 p.m. Saturday, downtown Detroit. $5. www.winterblast.com/bar-blast.
Cupid's Undie Run: Cheli's Chili Bar will host Detroit's first Cupid's Undie Run for participants who dare to drop trou and hit the pavement to benefit the Children's Tumor Foundation.
The fun begins at noon at Cheli's, where runners will collect shirts and more goodies. The 1-mile run begins at 2:30 p.m. and follows a course around Comerica Park and Ford Field. At the end, participants will gather at Cheli's for food and discounted drinks. VIP-level fund-raisers will receive free drinks.
"It's just like a big party with a run in the middle," says Sheila Cohoon, vice president of the Michigan chapter of the Children's Tumor Foundation and mother of a child with neurofibromatosis. "Our goal is to raise awareness and money, but we also want to make it fun so people come back and participate next year."
Last year, the national run included just five cities on Valentine's weekend. This year, Cupid's Undie Runs are taking place in 17 U.S. cities.
As of Monday, there were 360 people registered for the Detroit event and $32,000 had been raised, says Cohoon. There are 500 spots available in Detroit.
"My son has NF," Cohoon says. "That's why I wanted to get Detroit on the map."
The tumor foundation provides support to children living with neurofibromatosis and their families.
Noon Saturday, Cheli's Chili Bar, 47 E. Adams, Detroit. 313-961-1700. $35. Ages 21 and up.

Online Reservations
The entries were very good. The deserts were a big let down. Expensive, small size and not good!! Also, wine and liqour are priced like you're in Talavera not a coffee shop.
We had guests from out of town and they enjoyed the outdoor eating in a very nice setting. Our server was a little confused on our orders, but when we finally got the food it was quite good. This is not (and is not meant to be) gourmet dining; so for what it is, it is very good. My burger was over-cooked but onion rings were wonderful. Oyster appetizer is to be missed - not very tasty. But meat loaf was wonderful, fish was good and dessert was passable. Here's a plus - good outdoor heaters.
This was my second visit to the Four Seasons' newest foray into the casual dining scene. The dinner menu is casual as billed nd food delicious. For some reason though, service was just a notch or two below the standard of the Four Seasons. We were there before the dinner rush hit so am not sure the reason it took so long to get our food. And our waiter was clueless when I asked what kind of greens were in the 'ham hock southern greens'. His answer was 'green leafy vegetables'! Turns out they were collard greens but we had to order to find this out. Overall a great outdoor dining experience in a beautiful setting.
We had dinner here twice in the same week as we were staying at the Four Seasons Scottsdale and it was convenient for our purposes. The restaurant is fun and energetic. The staff here is spectacular (Keisha the bartender was so engaging and Sherry the manager was so friendly and warm) we felt like VIPs! The menu is quite varied and there are choices for everyone. Prices are reasonable and the setting is fun and entertaining. I recommend sitting outside if possible. All of the food choices we had were very good. This is a fun and fabulous place to enjoy a casual night out.
Because the indoor and outdoor options for seating offered two completely separate sets of "ambience," I have checked special features that seem opposed to each other. The indoor scene is "livelier" (one could say "noisier") and much more kid-friendly with games and comfy sofa seating, while the outdoor scene has fantastic views and provides a casual, romantic setting with sunset views. I would tell you our favorite table on the patio, but my selfish motivation won't let me divulge it! (There really are no bad seats.) The burgers and homemade chips are wonderful, and service is very attentive without being overbearing. Altogether a lovely evening. We're nearby locals, but this is a great resort restaurant for tourists!
Proof is comfortable, relaxing and thoroughly unique with its inventive comfort food menu and Route 66 touches...we loved it and will be back often!
Theme restaurant that caters to Baby Boomers and their children. Great energy, Four Seasons service and prices, comfort food. Fabulous setting with great sunset views of Pinnacle Peak framing the sky. Music from the 60's and 70's introducing a sense of energy and nostalgia. I would go back.
Been to proof many times, this time the service was awful. Waited over 30 mins for him to take our order. Finally had to give the order to the manager. Drinks took over 15 mins. Asked for extra little toast for app. should showed 20 mins later brought by someone else. Never once apologized. Restaurant was not busy I would say 40% full, so that wasn't the issue. He walked by every once and while but never made eye contact. You don't think this type of service would not happen in a 5 star resort.
This won't be a cheap night out. The burgers are $19! But if you can forget about the prices and enjoy the experience, you won't be sorry. The menu is unique and eclectic. Everything we tried, from the cocktails to the dessert, was top-notch. Amazing atmosphere and friendly service. A rare place that is just as appropriate for dinner with the family or an adult night out.
Some of the other reviews comment that the prices are too high. I disagree. When valuing food, you have to account for the setting and the service. Proof has one of the best settings on all of Scottsdale. The mountain views are amazing. Moreover, I don't think the prices would be much lower if the restaurant was located in Downtown Scottsdale. The menu is excellent with lots of appealing options. I'd certainly go back.
An unexpectedly wonderful experience. The outdoor views and indoor ambiance were both great. The food was excellent. Shrimp with grits was yummy. Prime rib was like butter. Berry pie was just awesome. Lemon basil ice cream completed that dessert. Ice cream and berry pie made in premises. Awesome !
We had a wonderful waitress, the food was very good, great presentation. We love the atmosphere, we would and have recommended it to friends and plan on coming back ourselves.. but, beer in a can... no... expect bottled beer... maybe you could work on that...see you again. Happy
Homestyle cooking with menu selections for everyone. From barbeque, to salads, to burgers to entrees all are delicious. We stayed at the Four seasons and ate breakfast here every morning. Very creative and tastefully prepared breakfast items. Not the usual boring selections. All ingredients are purchased locally so the eggs are truly amazing. The breads are unlike anything you tasted. I live the 3 grain toast with homemade jelly. Loved the berry and carrot cake jelly! All served in metal with porcelain coating dinnerware. Very fun! The view doesn't get any better with mountains, cactus and birds.
Great menu. food was very good. Loved the fried green tomatoes
Groups watching sporting events prevalent. Fairly loud, many tvs, sports bar but nice energy. Mixed clientele due to resort locale. Superb service and Lavender Mule!!!
Four Seasons hit the mark with this restaurant in that it is perfect for families visiting the resort OR locals (like us) who want to enjoy the view and eat some casual comfort food. The facility is beautiful so the word needs to get out.
The Staff and one of our favorite Server's (Abrielle) sp? always provide great professional and fun evenings.
Our first visit to Proof and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything, especially to attention of our server. A noisy nearby child was a minor and temporary inconvenience. I look forward to another visit soon.
We had a great time at Proof. First time there and we worried that a hotel based restaurant might not be that good. The decor is fun, the energy is great and we had a blast as did our kids. The food is casual but thoughtfully prepared and tasted great......really good quality. Fun night and save room for dessert-try the root beer float!
Been there four or five times as food is great; however, the service is lacking. It in no way is anywhere near the level of service that should be expected of a Four Seasons. You have to ask twice sometimes three times for a refill of water or iced tea. Waiter says I'll be right back and 15 mins later no sign of them. Have had to on more than one occasion find the manager to get our bill.
I know of no other restaurant in all of Scottsdale with a better view of ambiance, and the food is imaginative and fantastic. The vibe is great. You have to try this place.
On top of great food, great service and a great view, Proof has amazing decor! The setting is in the most beautiful desert in the world, at the Four Season's Resort. The atmosphere was incredible if you like Rustic, wood, and steel and live acoustic guitar music looking at the infamous Pinnacle Peak mountain. The food was awesome, they had a backyard bar b q that night which they do once a month and the food had an incredible flavor. We had a party of 8 and the service level was impeccable...I can't say enough about them, and believe me we will be going back!
Proof consistently delivers on ALL fronts: Great food, and excellent service, surrounded by amazing views of Pinnacle Peak! Standout entrees are the Chicken and Waffles; Pork Chop, and Shrimp with Grits! ALL Fabulous! Great food, great presentation but served with a casual flare in a comfy location! The Milkshakes are incredible so be certain to save room for desert! The wait staff, was very attentive and very pleasant. The Manager, stopped by our table several times to insure our well being! Overall; a great dining experience! Bravo!
It starts with the Hostess staff greeting you right down to the pastry chef!!! Our server Fawn did an excellent job and made the dinner truly enjoyable for our niece and nephew. We had the beer tasting menu and the pairings were great. I would recommend the restaurant to any family with kids. We enjoyed the restaurant so much we had breakfast there the next day. The sundae station was a big deal with our niece and nephew. Keep up the good work!!!
The food experience was so incredible. Such a unique array of options to choose from; we ordered most of the menu and didn't regret a single one. My favorite was the house made pretzels. Service was beyond friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was so well designed and put together and had a sophisticated-cozy vibe. I will defiantly be returning.
Darryl, our server, was just a delight. The pulled pork sandwich was out of this world and the pretzel knots reign supreme!
A must try- will surely become a regular-go-to! Awesome view! supurb service! lively!, fun!, great beer selection, great wine selection, the best desert options in valley! Casual enough to be a regular - go -to but with 5star quality and service. Love, love, love love love this place. PS we have gone for dinner here with our kids (5,7,9yo) as well as out with other couples - scene is fantastic, food is awesome. We took a family from out of town here, their son has a peanut allergy, the staff was attentive and accomodating. The chef, himself, came out to discuss their procedure with us. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE
Proof has a whimsical and nostalgic décor that is hard to describe. Part old time soda fountain, part neighborhood pub and a little magic is in the air the moment you walk in.. Its like a trip down route 66 in its hey day. Welcoming from the minute you walk in the door. A staff and management team that excel in every way. Honest and sincere service that makes everyone feel appreciated. The views from the outside patio are spectacular and the sunsets are better than any show you have ever seen. Jesse Hansen and the culinary team have created a menu that recognizable yet filled with unique touches and surprises. Fantastic drink menu. Its the best gastropub in the Scottsdale area. What are you waiting for?
Loved the menus. Everything from Cioppino to chicken and waffles!!!! And the kids menu is terrific and they the kids meals on melamine TV dinner trays!!!! Very very clever!!!! We will return.
Apparently, this is the more casual of the Four Season's (North Scottsdale) restaurants but the service was on par with their fancier restaurant. Food was very good at a very good price point - not cheap but good price point. View was excellent from the patio - try to request the patio if/when you make a reservation.
Enjoyed a nice breakfast for two on a Sunday morning. Service was unremarkable...seemed like we never had a dedicated server, which was not a good thing since none of them really paid close attention to us. For $65, I do expect my water glass and coffee cup to be filled regularly. Plus, it took way too long to get my dishes cleared and have the check delivered. Again, just seemed like we were in no man's land on the service side. That said, the food was very good -- what you'd expect from the Ritz-Carlton. The ambience on the outside patio was lovely for breakfast. We'd go back, and hope that the service is improved.
This restaurant at the Four Seasons is outstanding - love the decor; we sat on patio with views of Pinnacle Peak; service couldn't be better and the lemon ricotta pancakes and eggs benedict w/crab were the best I've ever had. Not to be missed!
We have a place right around the corner, but have never visited Proof before. We had a group of eight, the food was excellent, the views can not be beat, and the entire staff was extremely helpful in keeping our kids (8-12) entertained throughout dinner! I would highly recommend this place for a casual dining experience!
Great staff, great food. Upscale casual in ambiance but elegant "foodie" food with top-line service from everyone - hostess, manager, numerous wait-staff (extra kudos to our server Abrielle - not really a server, more like a "Proof Experience Director"). A restaurant experience that can be different things - a bar/lounge that is comfortable and meant for staying a while with big screen tvs; indoor and outdoor seating offering great views any easy conversation; family-friendly with some ways to keep kids entertained; a little intimate/romantic if that is what you are after. In summary, I want to go back! If it was in my neighborhood, I would be there at least once a month if not more often!
We visited after playing Golf at Troon North. Proof is in the Four Season Hotel but very casual. Four Season's service at reasonable price. Highly recommended. Food is fantastic and service is awesome.
Excellent innovative menu and great preparation. Wonderful ambiance. Enthusiastic and very we'll trained wait staff. Have been here many times and always looking for a reason to return.
First time was dinner in spring - incredible, creative dishes and rustic, charming old Americana decor. Lunch this time started w/the fried green tomatoes w/crab remoulade, XLNT. Boys had Waldorf sandwich and a burger, I had the veggie sandwich on whole grain bread - all wonderful. Minor minus, the cole slaw had no dressing in it! I took home to use with another meal with some lubrication. Their view of the desert landscape and some hotel casitas is lovely, and patio is well-shaded to avoid glare. Lovely people serve in checked gingham dresses or shirts, lovely diners also so please don't dress down for this exquisite neighborhood gem and destination. Memorable.
A terrific option for families where parents want to eat something decent and make sure the kids have good options. Kids will love it as they have games and dinner served on "tv dinner" trays. Kids options go beyond chicken fingers and mac&cheeese with items like salmon. Food is generally updates of american comfort food. All items we have tried were excellent. Service is friendly. Views of Pinnacle Peak and surrounding area make sunset dinners even better.
The Four Seasons Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ has finally opened a secondary restaurant worthy of the Four Seasons brand. Proof is a combination sports bar (many tv's) and casual dining spot. The area away from the bar and patio are suitable for families and groups not interested in sports. The menu is eclectic with a southern flavor (shrimp and grits, fried chicken and waffles), but I opted for the lobster roll which was spectacular--expensive but huge and melt in your mouth tender. We live in the area and return for that.
We celebrated our 45th Anniversary and wanted a casual, fun place with outstanding food and not ridiculously expensive. Proof was the perfect place. The menu is trendy (chicken & waffles) and local. Great comfort food! It's a relaxing sports bar with comfy sofas, high & low tables, even a shuffleboard table! Our server was Cesar who made us laugh and was attentive. I had the flank steak special. It was...perfect! My husband had a fabulous pork chop. We were treated with yummy Fried Green Tomatoes while we waited for our dinner prep as it was a bit lengthy. The dessert chef, Stephanie, prepare an amazing celebratory dessert.We had such fun we came back the next day for brunch and watched a football game. A perfect evening in a perfect place!
Proof is one of those restaurants that keeps getting better the more you go. The food is incredible (I recommend the double-cut pork chop), the views are spectacular and the service can't be beat. The staff is overly friendly and is what keeps us coming back. The more you go, the better they get to know you. They make us feel like family. Graham, the GM keeps a watchful eye on all of his guests and always takes a moment to acknowledge you despite what he might be engrossed in at the time. The bartender John took a moment to come out and let us know about their selection of American made spirits and to invite us to try anything we might be curious about. Even the back staff took time out to say hello. This is how a restaurant should be done!
Great menu and great execution!!! The chocolate bacon waffle was outstanding as were the ricotta pancakes and French toast!!!
This is our second visit and both the first and second were great service. The managers and wait staff try hard to meet your needs and do not leave you to your devices. They answer questions and really know their stuff.
