The American Legion baseball season is set to get under way this week with some old and new faces leading the way.
League VI, which is made up of Gaffney Post 109, Greer Post 115, Inman Post 34, Spartanburg Post 28 and Union Post 22, will have its first games Tuesday with Greer traveling to Union and Gaffney visiting Inman.
Spartanburg Post 28 will open the season on Wednesday at Gaffney.
Veteran Inman coach Steve Skinner said his team is looking forward to starting the season.
"We've been practicing for about two weeks now. We're ready to get cranked up this week. I think we're looking good right now. We hope to have a bigger year this year than we did last year. The league was really competitive last year and I expect it to be again this year," Skinner said. "There are going to be some good ball teams in it.
"Hopefully we can play well enough to win our league, that's what we're shooting for. We had five strong teams in our league last year and we're going to have four or five real good teams in it this year."
Spartanburg manager Barry Keith, who is in his first season coaching Post 28 after serving as an assistant last year, said there is a lot of excitement surrounding this year's ball club.
"Last year we had nine kids show up for the first day of tryouts and we ended up with 14 kids on the varsity roster total. This year between the (varsity and JV) teams we had 53 kids come out," he said.
Another new head coach for this season is Derek Byars with Post 109.
The Chesnee High School assistant coach helped the Eagles to a state title and is now hoping to do the same with Gaffney American Legion.
"It's all going well. We've had a couple of rain days which has pushed us back but we're going to be prepared," he said. "I definitely feel very blessed to have an opportunity to coach. I feel like God led me to do this. I'm going to do it to the best of my abilities to glorify Him."
League VI Director Tommy Ford, who coached Union last season, said all of the teams are ready to go.
Ford added that despite the increase in travel ball teams, he is glad to see American Legion still going strong.
All five teams will have junior teams in addition to the varsity level teams this year.
"American Legion baseball is the best baseball going right now. If you want to find out if you can play baseball you need to play American Legion," Ford said. "It's a whole lot better than some of the travel ball leagues. Everybody needs to get out and watch a legion game this year."

Cookie exchange fills platters, yields recipes
By Jane Lawson
, The Daily Times Herald
Jane Lawson is pictured with colleagues at the annual Cattell Cookie Exchange at Cattell Elementary School in Des Moines. A cookie exchange is a fun and delicious way to try new treats and gather recipes.
Before winter break, I participated in the annual Cattell Cookie Exchange with my colleagues at Cattell Elementary School in Des Moines. Cattell is located on the northeast side of Des Moines very near Grand View University.
My colleagues and I gathered in the library to exchange goodies, sip spiced apple cider and chat about our holiday plans.
A cookie exchange is a fun and delicious way to try new treats and gather recipes. It's also a way to do only a fraction of the work and reap the benefits of very full cookie platters to have on hand at Christmastime.
If you don't participate in an annual cookie exchange, consider organizing one amongst your friends or co-workers next year.
Old-Fashioned Butter Cookies (for cut-out cookies)
Brooke Hakert, Instructional Coach
Brooke's family has been making frosted sugar cookies for as long as Brooke can remember. Her family bakes several batches and then sits around the dining-room table and everyone helps frost the cookies. Family members pack up containers to take home, but they don't last long. Brooke always freezes several cookies to save for Santa. According to Brooke, "Nothing says Christmas like a frosted cut-out sugar cookie!"
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 unbeaten egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat well. Mix and blend flour, baking powder, and salt. Bake at 350 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet for 5-7 minutes.
1 batch makes about 45 small to medium cookies
Michelle Qualley, Fifth Grade Teacher
This is a Swedish recipe passed down from Michelle's great-grandmother. The original irons used to make the rosettes were also passed down to her mother and will eventually be passed down to Michelle.
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients together. Using a medium sized pan fill halfway with vegetable oil. Keep oil at medium heat. Use your choice of a rosette iron and dip into grease to get iron hot before putting into batter. Place into batter making sure the mixture does not go over top of rosette iron. Keep in grease about 30 seconds. Take out of grease and tap lightly with fork onto paper towel. Let rosettes cool before dipping into powdered sugar.
Makes about 3 dozen rosettes
Cherry Chocolate Kisses
Barb Edwards, First Grade Teacher
This is the first time Barb made this kind of cookie. She found the recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked really good. Barb likes shortbread cookies and decided this recipe is a keeper for the holidays.
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (but still cool - very important!)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
granulated sugar, for sprinkling on the cookies
36 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and slowly add the powdered sugar and salt. Add the cherry juice and the almond extract until combined. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the mixer speed to medium and add the cherries. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, and place the balls on a baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart. Using your thumb, gently press each cookie in its center until the cookie is about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle each cookie with a little granulated sugar. Bake the cookies until the bottoms are lightly browned, about 14 minutes. Once removed from the oven, immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie's center.
Yields about 36 cookies
Thin Mint Truffles (makes 24)
Lori Kistenmacher, First Grade Teacher
Lori also found this recipe on Pinterest. She had never made truffles before and thought she would try. She is a big fan of mint, as are her family members. Lori admits they weren't the prettiest truffles, but they tasted pretty good and she'll be making them again.
1 (9 oz) box Girl Scout Thin Mints (or Keebler Grasshopper cookies)
4 oz fat-free cream cheese, slightly softened
8 oz Guittard's green mint chips
8 oz white chocolate chips or white chocolate bark
In a food processor, pulse the cookies a few times, and then blend them down until they are just crumbs. It might be easier to do this in two batches. Next, mix the cream cheese and crumbs together in a bowl until well incorporated. Roll the mixture into 1 inch size balls, and place them on a wax paper covered baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes, so the balls are easier to dip in the chocolate and do not fall apart.
Once the truffles have been in the fridge for awhile, melt the green mint chips in a double broiler or a microwave safe bowl. Roll half of the truffles in the green mint chocolate and place them back on the wax paper. Melt the white chocolate and roll the other half of the truffles in it. Once they have dried a little put the remaining white/green chocolate into baggies and cut the tips to drizzle the contrasting color over your truffles. Place the baking sheet back in the fridge so the chocolate can set.
Oreo Balls
Stacy Williams, Second Grade Teacher
Stacy's recipe came from her dear friend, Julie Soyer, whose family calls them "snowman poop." When her daughter heard this name, she wanted to try and make them.
1 pkg (about 1 lb) Oreo cookie crumbs
8 oz softened cream cheese
1 pkg almond bark
Mix cream cheese and Oreo crumbs together (it will take a little time and effort). Shape into balls, any size you want, and place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Melt almond bark and dip the balls in it.
Peanut Clusters
Sandy Hull, Librarian
Sandy has participated in many cookie exchanges over the years. She enjoyed making both of these treats when her daughter was young because they are so easy.
Each Christmas Sandy spends a day or two baking with her daughter and granddaughter. They all like to pass out holiday goodies to pass out to friends, neighbors, mail carriers, etc.
1 pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 pkg butterscotch chips
1 pkg salted roasted peanuts (not the kind with the red skin)
Melt chips in medium heavy pan. Stir in peanuts. Drop by tablespoon on wax paper. Chill to harden.
Ritz Treats
Sandy Hull, Librarian
60 Ritz crackers
1 cup peanut butter
1 pkg white or chocolate almond bark
Spread peanut butter b between 2 Ritz crackers. Melt almond bark. Dip cracker sandwich in almond bark and place on wax paper. Chill to harden. You can add sprinkles on top of treat before it hardens.
Jane Lawson, ELL (English Language Learners) Teacher
This "no-bake" treat is beyond simple. My 5-year-old son, Kellan, enjoyed helping with the Rolos (with clean hands) and my husband, Danny, loved them, as he loves pecans.
Rolo candies
square waffle-shaped pretzels
pecan halves
To toast pecans, place pecans in a glass dish. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Unwrap Rolo candies. Line a jellyroll pan or cookie sheet (if using a cookie sheet, be careful the pretzels don't slide off) with parchment paper. Line up pretzels on pan in rows. Place a Rolo in the center of each pretzel. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a pecan half onto each Rolo. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Carol Weaver, Second Grade Teacher
Carol baked these cookies during her annual baking day with former co-workers of her husband and their children. They have done this for about eight years now. Even when Carol's two daughters left for college, the tradition continued.
1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup finely packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal
cinnamon sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mix well. Sift together flour, salt, soda and cinnamon. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix until well combined. Stir in oats. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in cinnamon and sugar. Place on greased cookie sheets 1-inch apart. Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake, cookies will be light in color. Cool on wire rack. Store in tightly covered container.
Makes 4-5 dozen
Linzer Thumbprint Jewel Cookies
Connie Farley, Math Teacher
Connie was looking for a cookie that was low in Weight Watchers points. This cookie is worth two points each. Linzertorte is a classic Austrian dessert that has been made into cookies for the holiday season. The classic filling is raspberry jam, but you can use apricot, strawberry, or blackcurrant jam for a colorful cookie platter.
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
1/4 cup sweetened coconut
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, almonds, coconut, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, with an electric mixer at high speed, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. With the mixer at low speed, stir in the flour mixture until just blended.
Form the mixture into 24 balls and place on a large ungreased baking sheet, 1 ½ inches apart. Make a small indentation with your thumb in each cookie and bake until lightly golden at the edges, about 20 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the cookies then fill each indentation with ½ teaspoon of jam.
Candy Cane Blossoms
Susan DeVries, Kindergarten Teacher
Sue's children's, Hannah and Max, have always liked these cookies and used to love rolling the balls in sugar when they were young. Sue hadn't made the cookies for a couple of years since Hannah left for Iowa State, but when Hannah returned, she decided to make them again.
1 bag Hershey's Kisses brand Candy Cane Kisses
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons milk
red and green colored sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove wrappers from candies. Beat butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternatively with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red and/or green colored sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookies are set. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes. Press candy piece into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Makes approximately 35 cookies

In light of the recent creation of many articles concerning fights and other battles, I think we should have a policy in order to uniformize the naming of said articles. It would define the usage of the words used to caracterize the degree of seriousness of the cronfontation (like duel, affray, skirmish, struggle, battle, war, etc.). What do you think? -- Seth Cooper (Owl Post) 00:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that we need to set a standard for how confrontation articles should be titled. "Affray" is a synonym of "skirmish," so I'm not going to take it into consideration, but here's how I think the other words should be defined:
- Duel: A single confrontation between two people.
- Skirmish: A single, short confrontation between a small group of people.
- Battle: A single, prolonged confrontation between a large group of people.
- War: A series of confrontations between large groups of people over a significant period of time.
- ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 00:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
And, as you well put it in your move summary of Skirmish at Godric's Hollow to Attack at Godric's Hollow (1980)
- Attack: A single confrontation, where only side attacks and the other does not.
-- Seth Cooper (Owl Post) 00:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Also, the fall of the Ministy of Magic would've been a Siege because Voldemort and the Death Eaters succeded by forcibly taking control. 188.8.131.52 16:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. so that would be
- Siege: A confrontation when one party surrounds the other and forcibly take control.

Recent ruminations from LUPEC Boston, as published recently in The Weekly Dig.
by Hanky Panky + Pink Lady
A quick look around the farmers market, and it's clear that fall is upon us. The last heirloom tomatoes of the season are now cohabitating with local apples, leading to thoughts of crisps and pies loaded with yummy fall spices. Thanks to our friends at Haus Alpenz, the flavors of fall can also make their way into your cocktail glass via St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram.
This allspice liqueur originated in Jamaica as pimento dram, named after the pimento berry from which it is made. The first English to encounter the pimento berry found it to be a conundrum and quickly renamed it allspice, as it encapsulated the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
Although pimento dram was never a huge hit in the States, it received some attention mid-century when tiki aficionados used the exotic, full-flavored dram to add depth to their multilayered concoctions. The importation of pimento dram declined as tiki fell out of fashion.
The Haus Alpenz version of pimento dram made its debut in 2008 sporting a moniker that reflects its distinctive flavor rather than evoking images of red slivers stuffed in olives. St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is made in Austria using Jamaican allspice berries, raw sugar and an aromatic pot-stilled Jamaican rum. When used sparingly, it adds subtle spice notes to cocktails, while in larger proportions, it presents the full, warm flavors of fall.
2 oz bourbon
0.5 oz St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
0.5 oz fresh lime juice
1 dash angostura bitters
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
A version of this column originally ran in September 2008.

When do I register?
After theadmission process is complete with the university, students receive a personal log in and pin number allowing students to register for courses. They can check when their registration date begins by logging into MySJSU. If this is a students first semester and registration has already begun, then they should be able to register as soon as they receive their pin number. It is extremely important that students follow up with this or they could lose their opportunity to take a course needed. When sections fill up the enrollment closes.
What happens if I miss the registration deadline?
Usually registration will close a few days before classes begin, then will reopen when classes begin. Students will have a short time period where they can register late for a course and pay an additional late fee. After the last registration deadline, NO LATE ADDS will be permitted, even if students have been attending classes.
How much does it cost?
Fees are dependent on the number of units students take each semester. To get an approximate figure, please visit the Bursar's Office Website for the latest costs.
How do I Pay?
After registering, Students should check within a week at MySJSU to verify that they have been billed, and the amount owed. It is a good idea for students to print their schedule once they have paid fees and also when grades post.
What happens if I do not pay on time?
In cases of late payment, or failures in processing payment, Students will be disenrolled, and could possibly lose their space in a class.

Move over, Pumpkin Pie. There's a new Thanksgiving dessert that's sure to be a holiday hit. Kelsey Nixon's recipe for warm, out-of-the-oven bread pudding is studded with apples and pecans, topped with caramel sauce and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's absolute dessert perfection. Just make sure to save room for it.
Kelsey's Apple Bread Pudding with Caramel Dessert Sauce
For Apple Bread Pudding:
Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 large egg yolks
3 1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
1 loaf challah bread, cut or torn into 1-inch pieces (preferably stale)
Caramel Dessert Sauce, recipe below
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Caramel Dessert Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk

Make the Caramel Dessert Sauce:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, buttermilk and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and slowly add the baking soda (it will foam up), followed by the vanilla and cinnamon. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and egg yolks and set aside.
Add the cubed apples, pecans and cubed bread to the prepared baking dish and toss to combine. Pour the custard over the bread and apple pieces. Carefully toss to coat, making sure that the cubed bread is submerged in the custard, and let stand to allow the bread to soak up the custard, 10 to 15 minutes.
Bake until the center has set, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle Caramel Dessert Sauce over the bread pudding. Serve with extra sauce and vanilla ice cream.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV, Kahramanmaras Aksu TV and Gaziantep Olay TV dated May 4th, 2011
Sulayman was Dawud's heir. He said, 'Mankind! we have been taught the speech of birds and we have been given everything. This is indeed clear favour.' Sulayman's troops, made up of jinn and men and birds, were assembled for him, paraded in tight ranks. Then, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant said, 'Ants! enter your dwellings so that Sulayman and his troops do not crush you unwittingly'. He smiled, laughing at its words, and said, 'My Lord, keep me thankful for the blessing You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and keep me acting rightly, pleasing You, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your servants who are sincere'. (Surat An-Naml, 16-18)
"We have been taught the speech of birds" what does this refer to ? [That refers to] the encryption of the codes, encryption of the cryptos; it refers to this technology. ".. troops, made up of jinn and men and birds.." Jinns symbolize the security intelligence, men symbolize to the land army and the birds to the air forces. Yes.. ".. paraded in tight ranks." This shows how the system in the military should be; that is a sign that there should be a structuring in tight ranks. Compassion and love even towards bugs and being thankful to Allah for the blessings. Alhamdulillah. These are only a few of the hundreds of secrets.. showing compassion even towards ants.2011-06-19 19:36:00

Eric Reid and Kevin Minter stood out all season as two of the cornerstones of the LSU defense.
Monday they were recognized for their play, named first-team selections on The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference team.
The team was voted on by a selection of media from across the SEC.
Four Tigers were named to the second team: defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery, defensive tackle Bennie Logan and strong safety Craig Loston.
Offensive linemen Josh Dworaczyk and La'el Collins were honorable mention selections.
LSU's eight total selections were second behind only SEC champion Alabama's nine. Florida had seven selections and Georgia six.
Reid and Mingo were second-team AP selections in 2011, while Montgomery was on the first team.
Minter leads the Tigers and ranks third in the SEC in total tackles with 111, the most for an LSU player since Kelvin Sheppard had 116 in 2010. He also leads the Tigers and ranks fourth in the SEC with 131/2 tackles for loss.
Reid is third on the team with 81 tackles along with two interceptions and six pass deflections.
Loston is second in the SEC in interception return yardage with 103, most of that on his record-tying 100-yard return against Mississippi State.
Mingo leads the team with 12 quarterback hurries, while Montgomery leads with seven sacks. Collins leads the Tigers in snaps played (789) and knockdowns (581/2).
Reid was also named a second-team All-American on Monday by CBSSports.com, while Montgomery was third. Reid was named a first-team AFCA All-American last week.
At home in domes
LSU will hoping to maintain its winning ways in the Georgia Dome, its New Year's Eve venue for the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Clemson (6:30 p.m. ESPN).
LSU is 9-1 in the Georgia Dome, including a 3-0 record in Chick-fil-A (formerly Peach) bowls. The Tigers are also 4-1 there in SEC Championship games.
Overall, LSU is 24-7 in domed stadiums: 13-5 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, 9-1 in the Georgia Dome, 2-0 in Cowboys Stadium and 0-1 in the Astrodome.
Ticket talk
The Chick-fil-A is just 298 tickets short of its 16th straight sellout, according to bowl President and CEO Gary Stokan. The sellout streak is the second-longest active streak behind only the Rose Bowl, Stokan said.
Getting a completely full Georgia Dome, however, may be a different challenge.
LSU officially re-opened bowl ticket sales Monday as it tries to move the 16,000 tickets each school is required to take.
LSU pre-sold 8,012 Chick-fil-A Bowl tickets to football season ticket holders.
Tickets in LSU sections are $90 for the Georgia Dome's 200 level and $80 for the 300 level (upper deck). Tickets on the dome's 100 level are sold out, according to LSU's website.
Tickets can be purchased online at LSUSports.net, by phone at (225) 578-2184 or (800) 960-8587, or in person at the LSU Athletic Ticket Office.
Recruits move on Rivals list
Rivals.com released its updated Rivals 100 recruiting list Monday, with several LSU recruits making the list.
LSU's highest-rated commitment according to Rivals is defensive back Tre'Davious White (5-foot-11, 175 pounds) of Shreveport Green Oaks at No. 35. He's followed by Lemont, Ill., offensive lineman Ethan Pocic (6-7, 285) at No. 44.
Defensive end Frank Herron (6-4, 236) of Memphis (Tenn.) Central checks in at No. 82, followed by Los Angeles Cathedral quarterback Hayden Rettig (6-4, 210) at No. 85 and Lake Charles Barbe tight end DeSean Smith (6-4, 222) at No. 92.
Among the Rivals 100 players listed with offers from LSU, Mission Viejo defensive back Max Redfield (6-2, 195) is No. 24, Sealy (Texas) wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones (6-5, 220) is No. 27, Plano (Texas) Prestonwood linebacker Mike Mitchell (6-4, 216) is No. 30, Immokalee (Fla.) defensive back Mackenzie Alexander (5-11, 175) is No. 39, Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) defensive back Tahaan Goodman (6-2, 185) is No. 49, Monaca (Pa.) Central Valley wide receiver Robert Foster (6-3, 170) is No. 74, Jackson East Feliciana athlete prospect Kendall Beckwith (6-3, 228) is No. 84 and Dallas Kimball defensive tackle Justin Manning (6-2, 275) is No. 90.
University High defensive end Tim Williams (6-4, 230) is No. 89, but there are reports he no longer has a scholarship offer from LSU.
LSU has 22 commitments for 2013 after the decommitments last week of Slidell Salmen wide receiver Chuck Baker and Lake Gibson, Fla., fullback Kennard Swanson. The SEC limits schools to 25 signees per year, but LSU may sign as many as 29 because it can back count four players to its 2012 class.
Overall, LSU's class is ranked No. 3 by Rivals, down one spot from last week. LSU's class is ranked No. 6 by Scout, No. 7 by 24/7 Sports and No. 8 by ESPN.

Jose Reyes bunted for a base hit in the first, then came out of the game. Mets fans were denied a chance to see him one last time (contract pending), or even cheer him at shortstop. He finishes the year at .3374 in batting, meaning Ryan Braun can pass him with a 3-for-4 tonight.
John Updike wasn't here to record it, and that's probably best for him. Plenty of boos when Reyes came out of the game.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/9/2013 (1446 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IT'S a big, fat, juicy number -- 223 yards rushing -- for any running back busting through holes anywhere on the planet, Anthony Coombs of the University of Manitoba Bisons included.
There's a couple of tales behind that 223 total, though, that really put Coombs' handiwork in last week's win over Alberta in perspective...
First, the basic math:
Coombs' numbers, which included two touchdowns, came in just three quarters of work in Manitoba's victory and on just 16 carries. Just to hammer home his dominance -- which earned him Canada West Offensive Player of the Week honours -- he added a 37-yard receiving score. The 223 yards was the eighth-highest total in Bison history and, naturally, left everyone wondering one thing: what if the third-year running back had actually finished the game?
BISONS (1-0) vs. HUSKIES (1-0)TODAYKickoff: 5 p.m., Investors Group Field.The matchup: Manitoba is ranked 10th in the country; Saskatchwewan 9th.TV: Shaw TV's Game of the Week.
"Some people have been talking about that," said Coombs with a smile this week. "My goal would have been to break the (Bison) record of 308 (set by Dominic Zagari in 1995). Getting over 300 would have been cool.
"I understand coming out of the game, of course, because the win was the most important thing. This is a special team and I really think we can do great things this year."
Here's the other story behind that 223-yard total:
When Bisons head coach Brian Dobie made his first recruiting trip to Coombs' household back in his high school days while leading the Winnipeg High School Football League in rushing with the Sturgeon Heights Huskies, the sales pitch went something like this: "as a tailback, we think you'd make a helluva corner..."
"I said, 'I'm not telling you we won't give you a shot at tailback, but I really want you to think about corner, and if you start by Year 2 or 3 you might be an All-Canadian.' I was right about him being an all-Canadian," explained Dobie, laughing, "but I was wrong about the position.
"I won't lie, did I see him being an All-Canadian tailback in Year 2 after a red-shirt year? No, I didn't see that. But he saw it. And I know it was a turn-off for him in recruiting when I said that. He got pouty in that meeting with me and his family. It was awkward because I challenged him. I told him not to take it as an insult, but we were just trying to find the best fit for him."
Turns out Dobie didn't really have to make a decision on where Coombs might best fit. Coombs made the decision simple.
"What happened is that winter... is during our workouts every time he got reps at tailback we just kept waiting and saying, 'OK, he can't sustain what he's doing here. There's another great cut, another great run, he just made four more people miss... this kid can't keep it up,' " said Dobie. "But he did.
"We were wowed by him. He didn't whine, he didn't say a word or come into my office. He just made the most out of every rep.
"That, in a nutshell, is Anthony."
Now, understand that if you ask for a minute to talk about one of his troops, Dobie can serve up a half hour on about every single player in Bison brown and gold. But in Coombs, Dobie knows he has something special.
A two-time CIS All-Canadian (first team in 2011, second team in 2012), Dobie raves about his character, leadership and humility even as the awards keep coming. Last year, Coombs was the MVP for Team World at the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) third annual International Bowl -- an honour that earned him a spot in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd feature.
Ask him about that -- and the fact he's certain to draw attention from CFL teams for next spring's draft -- and Coombs stiff-arms the questions like they were would-be tacklers.
"That kind of stuff... I'll worry about that later," he said. "At my house we do have a bunch of memorabilia. It'd be fun to get to the pros and be able to get even more, and then one day be able to look back and say, 'This is what I did.'
"I try not to get caught up in that but my mom has this big shrine... you know how moms are. It is cool, but I have to be humble about it. The way I look at it, I'm living in the moment, not in the past, and wanting to succeed in the future."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/10/2010 (2492 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The title is actually a line from a friend of mine, after I told him the Bombers were forced to use their third-stringer in Saturday's game. The reference, of course, is Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott. My friend – much like myself – automatically thought of the British band and Union Jack T-shirts with the sleeves cut off when he first heard the name. Seriously, he did. No F-F-Foolin.'
Note: that will be the last Def Leppard pun I'll make here. Bringin' on the Heartbreak, Hysteria, Too Late for Love – all these songs could be worked into the discussion but I'm not going to bombard you with that.
Back to Elliott. Lots of praise for the rookie quarterback at practice today, which I guess isn't that surprising considering how well he played against the Argos (8-of-16 for 75 yards). Not exactly Calvillo-like but all things considering, something for the Bombers to build on for the season finale in 10 days.
I thought this was an interesting comment from Bombers offensive co-ordinator Jamie Barresi: "(Elliott) always has a good reason as to why he did what he did out there – which is the sign of a good quarterback. He'll tell you why he made a throw. He's not just searching for an open guy."
Why is that interesting? Well, one of the knocks on Steven Jyles has been his reluctance to trust his first read and get rid of the football. Have to wonder if the staff has been looking for a more sensitive trigger back there.
Three more things:
1. Notice the pressure difference between Elliott's first start and Alex Brink's first start. Elliott is forced to come in with no chance for a playoff spot. Brink was chosen over the incumbent, with a post season spot still up for grabs. As we all know, Brink struggled mightily with the starting task, never looking comfortable as the game continued to drag on. It will be interesting to see how Elliott manages in his low-stress, road assignment – and whether those circumstances factor into the post game evaluation.
2. Head coach Paul LaPolice said today that the jump for a No. 4 QB to a No. 3 position on the depth chart is an easy one. In those spots, no one really expects you to play, anyway. The bridge between the No. 1 spot and the No. 2 position is equally short, the coach feels, as the back-up should also have an strong grasp of the offence. The big disparity comes when promoting a No. 3 to a No. 1 position, which is essentially what Elliott is doing here (technically he's the No. 4 guy but Buck Pierce has been on the shelf for so long that everyone has moved up the chart). My point: Don't really have one.
3. Finally, here's some Def Leppard. Don't say I never do anything nice for you. As the commentary on the YouTube page says: "This is impossible to dislike."

States of MatterThese brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
You are given a group of eight elements that share a common characteristic. You are also a given a pool of sixteen elements. Eight of the elements in the pool have the characteristic that allows them to be added to the group. The remaining eight elements in the pool do not have that characteristic and can not be added.
Group: argon, flerovium, gallium, lanthanum, manganese, meitnerium, protactinium, scandium
Pool: aluminum, bohrium, calcium, cobalt, gold, helium, indium, mendelevium, mercury, molybdenum, neodymium, neon, platinum, titanium, xenon, zinc
AnswerThe elements in the group have chemical symbols that are also the postal abbreviations of states of the United States.
argon = Ar = Arkansas
flerovium = Fl = Florida
gallium = Ga = Georgia
lanthanum = La = Louisiana
manganese = Mn = Minnesota
meitnerium = Mt = Montana
protactinium = Pa = Pennsylvania
scandium = Sc = South Carolina
Eight of the elements in the pool have that characteristic.
aluminum = Al = Alabama
calcium = Ca = California
cobalt = Co = Colorado
indium = In = Indiana
mendelevium = Md = Maryland
molybdenum = Mo = Missouri
neodymium = Nd = North Dakota
neon = Ne = Nebraska
The other elements in the pool do not have the required characteristic.
gold (Au), bohrium (Bh), helium (He), mercury, (Hg), platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), xenon (Xe), zinc (Zn)

Daily Comments
Mr. Adnan Oktar frequently reminds that all patients, especially cancer patients are our responsibility and that they need to be strong in spirit, they need to be taken good care in quality hospitals and treated free of cost.
Likewise Prime Minister Erdoğan, at an opening ceremony of a hospital he attended, gave a speech that they provided important services in healthcare field since day one.
Çay TV – March 11th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: Every patient is our responsibility as nation. Being sick is not a crime, it is an honor, pride and its responsibility is on us. When someone becomes sick, this person, this brother or sister, from that day forth, is entrusted to us. We will take care of him/her, we are responsible for his/her food, drink, comfort, happiness, treatment and everything. Patient shouldn't be charged, PATIENT WILL GO TO THE MOST QUALITY, THE BEST HOSPITAL, CANCER PATIENT WILL GO TO FIRST CLASS HOSPITAL; THEY WILL RECEIVE THE BEST TREATMENT THERE, THEY WILL BE RESPECTED, LOVED, AND ENTERTAINED IN WIDE LOUNGES. They will have religious conversations, they will have high spirits.
Hilal TV, December 27th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: My suggestions are these; free hospitals need to be established for one. THERE NEED TO BE QUALITY AND GOOD HOSPITALS.
Başkent TV, March 6th, 2009
February 16th, 2014 - Yeni Şafak
Prime Minister Erdoğan attended opening ceremony of the biggest hospital of Europe with 2682 inpatient bed capacity and stated as follows:
"My poor brother got hold as a pledge. He got hold as a pledge in the hospital. They said they were populists. The dead got hold as a pledge in this country. How come can a dead man get hold as a pledge for God's sake? This country has witnessed that too. Treatment was a nuisance, medication was a nuisance. Now we have got all hospitals together under one roof.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A new regulated online gambling site for Manitobans -- PlayNow.Com -- was launched today.
Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries says the site will give Manitobans a safe and secure way to play roulette or a hand of poker. Other games include live poker, video poker, slots and Blackjack. There will also be live sports betting on a variety of leagues, tournaments and events, according to a news release.
Later this year, live bingo and some lottery products will also be available online.
"We are pleased to offer Manitobans a reputable and safe online gambling option," said Winston Hodgins, president and CEO of Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. "Players can be confident in the extensive safety and security measures that are in place to protect their personal information, their bets and their deposits."
Carolin Taubensee, executive general manager of eGaming at Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, said the site has several distinctive products such as live poker, which connects players from Manitoba, B.C. and Quebec.
"We are confident that Manitobans will really enjoy playing on this exciting site, which is based on British Columbia Lottery Corporation's (BCLC) PlayNow.com platform. Manitoba residents who are 18 years or older may register to play on the site.
Revenues from PlayNow.com will be reinvested into Manitoba communities, lotteries officials said. Three per cent of online gambling net income will be provided to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba and two per cent will be committed to Manitoba Lotteries' responsible gambling initiatives.
The province will allocate 15 per cent to support expanded provincial programming for Aboriginal sport and recreational activities. The remaining revenue will be directed to the Province of Manitoba to support health care, education, community and social services and economic development.

An Innovative Model of Private Endowment
Since the 2006/07 winter semester, the Max Schmidheiny Foundation has endowed the University of St. Gallen with the Max Schmidheiny Foundation Professorship for Entrepreneurship and Risk. Within the context of entrepreneurship and risk, and from the perspective of law and economics, the professorship is focussed on research, education and the transfer of knowledge with professional practice, and is thus aimed at fostering insights into a dimension of the entrepreneurial concept that is increasingly important for the sustainability of a liberal order.
With its contribution, the foundation would like to support the University of St Gallen in establishing an international presence in the area of "Law and Economics" that also represents the permanent association between the Max Schmidheiny Foundation, the benefactor's family, and the University of St. Gallen. As a progressive model for private endowment, the Max Schmidheiny Foundation professorship is designed to be a mutually complementary, mixed programme of top-class visiting professors and a tenure-track professorship.
The Max Schmidheiny Foundation Tenure-Track-Professorship for Law and Economics
Since the autumn of 2006, the position of tenure-track professorship has been filled by Prof. Dr. Anne van Aaken, Max Schmidheiny Foundation Tenure Track Professor for Law and Economics, Public, International and European Law.

THE Foxground Rural Fire Brigade will have a more stable future if Kiama Council is successful in buying the land where its station currently rests.
The council had leased the Foxground Road property for the past two decades to provide the brigade with a home.
However, the agreement had been on a month-by-month basis since June 2009 after one of the landowners died.
Councillors resolved at the August meeting to proceed with the purchase and general manager Michael Forsyth said a monetary figure had been agreed upon.
Senior deputy captain Con Goik said the 15-member brigade and the Foxground community would embrace the sale if it went through.
"It means we can plan on recruiting new members," he said.
"We had plans a couple of years ago ... but that's been put on hold."
Mr Goik said the station was Foxground's sole community building and he would like to see the facility improved and used more.
"There have been community get-togethers there and the Landcare group likes to meet there," he said.
"We're prepared to put in the time and effort to make it safe and useful for the community."
Kiama Mayor Sandra McCarthy said if climate change made the area more bushfire-prone, it was important for the brigade to have a secure base.
"It will be encouraging to see them developing... younger members through planning and training," she said.

1968 Moment: Famed concert promotor Bill Graham switches venues amidst tensions, violence
After more than three years at the center of Bay Area rock n' roll, Bill Graham needed to make some major changes if he wanted to help keep the music alive.
It was the beginning of summer 1968 and the Fillmore Auditorium, the hugely popular San Francisco concert venue that hosted some of the era's premiere musicians, was facing shrinking audiences. Rage over the recent assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. was boiling in the predominantly black neighborhood where the Fillmore was located, and violence was spilling out onto the streets.
Since opening the Fillmore in December of 1965, the charismatic Graham had lured thousands of music fans into the auditorium to dance and munch on apples while listening to some of America's most cutting-edge bands. But ticket snatching and purse grabbing, along with other crimes, were taking their toll on concertgoers. When word came that the Carousel Ballroom - a former car dealership now outfitted with a stage - was closing, the promoter made his move.
The day after pulling out of the auditorium, Graham put on the first show at the new location, which stood on the corner of Market Street and South Van Ness. But while the space was different and much larger than the previous, Graham made sure it felt familiar.
Balloons rested on the ballroom floor. There were apples downstairs and bulletin boards where people could post photos and clippings, just like they'd done at the previous Fillmore. The promoter himself would stand at the top of the stairs placing tickets in a bucket before the lights dimmed and the liquid projections began. Calling it a great laboratory, the Fillmore West was "a place where people could let their hair down," Graham wrote in his autobiography.
The first concent featured two acts: the Butterfield Blues Band, a rock group led by the guitarist Paul Butterfield, and the English band Ten Years After. Other shows followed. By the time Graham decided to close the venue a few years later along with New York sibling the Fillmore East, a who's who of the era's most famous musicians had taken the stage.
The final shows were held at the beginning of July 1971, and featured such acts as Hot Tuna, Tower of Power, Taj Mahal and the Grateful Dead. When the Fillmore West's doors finally closed July 4, Graham told the press he'd shuttered the venue because he was disillusioned with the mass commercialization of the music scene, rampant drug abuse and greedy performers.
But he was nowhere near done being a concert promoter. After a trip to the Mediterranean to recharge and recover, Graham was back in the saddle booking shows, managing groups and filling music venues. He continued to do just that until his tragic death on Oct. 25, 1991.
