CHICAGO -- Tom Ricketts had three years to prepare to be the owner of the Cubs.
But nothing could groom the young financial whiz for the bitter realities of "Year 1" of his family's reign atop the city's most luckless franchise.
If Ricketts thought the process to purchase the Cubs was onerous, watching 2010 unfold from his front-row seats probably made dueling with Sam Zell seem enjoyable.
OK, not really. But it was a pretty lousy season.
As the home portion of the season came to a long-awaited close, Ricketts held a 12-minute talk with reporters in the home dugout Sunday afternoon, calling the season an obvious "disappointment" while praising the minor league system and the recent play under manager Mike Quade.
"I don't think I would've done anything differently," he said of his early decisions.
With his neatly parted hair, perfectly pressed business casual wardrobe and handshake-and-a-smile demeanor, Tom Ricketts does not cut a Steinbrennerian, or even Reinsdorfian, presence. He wears an ID badge around the park, and as he noted, a bracelet when he drank in the bleachers recently.
But don't mistake affability for lack of authority.
Ricketts may have bought the team with family Ameritrade money (and a lot of financing), but he made his own name in the financial world in Chicago in the past decade. It's my opinion the Cubs are in good hands, at least at the top.
Ricketts may share the board of directors with his three siblings, but his fingerprint will soon change from the guy who fixed up the bathrooms to the guy responsible for signing off on the next manager and paving a path for the future of the storied franchise, which, in case you didn't know, hasn't won a World Series since 1908.
While he didn't say much in the way of specifics in his conversation, Ricketts did touch upon a few issues.
Most notably, he said the payroll will likely be lower than it was this season, a fact that he's hinted at a few times in the past.
"We haven't made a decision where payroll goes next year," he said. "I think it will probably be slightly lower than this year."
It's not a surprise. The Cubs opened the season with a bloated $144 million payroll. The Cubs already have more than $103 million in guaranteed contracts for next year, along with a handful of arbitration-eligible players, including Geovany Soto, Sean Marshall and Carlos Marmol, all of whom should see nice raises. The team will likely add some veteran free agents, but don't expect a repeat of the 2006 offseason, when general manager Jim Hendry doled out Monopoly money under the orders of John McDonough and the Tribune Co.
I don't have a problem with that. Spending their way out of a century-long drought hasn't worked. Smart buys should be the priority.
When it comes to adding pieces to fit in around the young core of the team, Ricketts ceded responsibility to Hendry.
"I'll leave that up to Jim," Ricketts said. "It's his responsibility to have a team on the field that will be the most competitive. That's kind of his call."
We haven't made a decision where payroll goes next year. I think it will probably be slightly lower than this year.
"-- Cubs owner Tom Ricketts
The managerial search is also being led by Hendry, though Ricketts will obviously have final approval. He said there's no rush to get a new manager before the World Series is over. Two potential candidates, Bob Brenly and Fredi Gonzalez, have renounced any interest.
Ricketts is focusing his attention on upcoming organizational meetings and a November vote in Mesa, Ariz., that will determine the team's spring training future. The passage of Proposition 420 will give the city the right to use public funds to build the team a new spring site.
"Things are going very well down there and generally people are very, very supportive," he said.
Ricketts also wouldn't commit on potentially lowering prices on tickets, given the team's decreased attendance of late, though he did say the team is studying how it prices tickets. (A White Sox executive told ESPNChicago.com that they will
likely institute a small increase in ticket prices for 2011.)
In an annual survey of ticket prices that I put together for Team Marketing Report, the Cubs had the highest average for nonpremium tickets at $52.36.
The number is pretty representative. For example, bleacher seats this season averaged more than $50 (the Cubs slot tickets in four different categories, with the two most expensive taking up 56 of 81 games), as did the upper deck box seats
(averaging between $50 and $59) and the terrace box seats ($50 and $60).
"In terms of ticket pricing, we haven't made any final decisions," Ricketts said. "What we are doing is a really thorough study of what we're charging for which sections, and trying to understand the value proposition we're offering people. We'll do that study and come up with a ticket pricing strategy, always keeping in mind it's a tough economy and ultimately our goal to get more families in the park."
The Cubs' average attendance was down almost 2,000 fans a game, but the team still drew more than 3 million this season. Empty seats were noticeable through the past month or so as the team foundered, key players were traded away and manager Lou Piniella retired.
"The key to filling the park is putting a great product on the field," Ricketts said.
The Ricketts family poured more than $10 million into improvements at Wrigley Field this season, from sprucing up the bathrooms to renovating the area under the bleachers.
The Cubs also hired a director of fan experience this season and added a roving group of "fan ambassadors" charged with the duties of enhancing fans' experiences, but in reality, a main part of their work was actually polling fans about what they like and how much they consume.
"We've surveyed fans all year long," said Ricketts, who tries to talk to fans every game. "One thing we've stressed with the whole organization is to really listen and try to be more responsive to the fans, which are the greatest fans on earth. But we have to give them the greatest experience."
After the session officially ended, Ricketts chatted with reporters for a few minutes. I asked him if he could name half of the current roster, given the influx of minor league players. He pointed out that his visits to the minor league affiliates kept him abreast of the likes of Darwin Barney and Brad Snyder.
Someone brought up disgruntled White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's self-proclaimed potential availability for the open manager's job on the North Side. I asked Ricketts if Guillen is a potential candidate, tampering be damned.
In a season full of disappointments and crooked numbers, Ricketts couldn't hold back his laughter at the idea. After all, Guillen loves ripping on Wrigley's facilities and fan base.
"I'm staying so far away from that one!" Ricketts said.
A fifth-place finish in the NL Central is one thing. Some notions are just too crazy to believe.

Children are very adaptive. Exposing them to new and interesting learning environments is extremely helpful. Taking them to the local park, observing flowers or leaves, or visiting a museum allows children to see their world differently.
Reading is essential to the creative process. Reading fosters imagination and thought. It exposes children to new worlds and adventures and allows them to dream.
Arts and crafts give children the chance to create and invent. Draw with shaving cream, color noodles, model clay, bake or decorate a cake, etc.
Talk to children. A general conversation will help children to feel safe in their environment. When children feel safe, they begin to express themselves. Listen to what they have to say.

Sun Devil opens ASU Classic with 60-35 Win Over BinghamtonPosted: Updated:
Janae Fulcher (11 points) and Isidora Purkovic (10 points) combined for 21 points to lead Arizona State to a 60-35 win over Binghamton during the first day of the ASU Classic on Saturday.
Promise Amukamara and Arnecia Hawkins added nine points each for the Sun Devils (3-3), who shot 47 percent while limiting the Bearcats (0-7) to only 26 percent. Both teams turned the ball over 21 times, however the Sun Devils were able to take better advantage of their opportunities as they scored 27 points off Binghamton's turnovers.
ASU held a 42-19 advantage in rebounding led by freshman Haley Videckis, who had nine boards. ASU also recorded nine blocks (Joy Burke led the way with four) and had 10 players combine for 17 assists (Elisha Davis and Micaela Pickens tied for the team lead with three).
Despite coming away with the win, Sun Devil head coach Charli Turner Thorne saw plenty the team needs to work on as they prepare to face a nationally ranked team on Sunday.
"Our team knows that they did not play their best basketball," Turner Thorne said. "They did not bring the energy and the focus that they should've to be the best team that they could be. As coaches we just chalk it up as a young team needing to learn that there are zero easy games. You're not just going to show up and beat anybody. And we just had those moments out there where we were not working hard within what we're supposed to do."
For the second time in as many games the Sun Devils never trailed as they scored the first 12 points of the game. Binghamton did not score until more than five minutes had passed and would only score 16 points in the half.
Fulcher and Amukamara both scored seven points in the first half to tie for the team lead. The Sun Devils shot 56 percent in the first half while the Bearcats were limited to 26 percent.
Binghamton would get no closer than 15 points the rest of the way as the Sun Devils led by as many as 27 points in the second half.
With Saturday's win over Binghamton, the Sun Devils advanced to the championship game of the ASU Classic where they will face 23rd-ranked Dayton on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The Flyers defeated UNLV 82-58 in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. UNLV and Binghamton will play in Sunday's consolation game at noon.

We manufacture and supply quality powder coatings since 1984
Antibacterial Powder Coatings,
Polyester Powder Coatings,
Architectural Powder Coatings,
Nylon Modified Powder Coatings,
Epoxy Powder Coatings,
Post Forming Powder Coatings,
Epoxy Polyester Powder Coatings,
Speciality Powder Coatings
( General Public )
( Approved Trade Accounts Only )
Benefits of Powder Coatings:
- Virtually all over-sprayed powder can be recovered for re-use,
- Powder Coatings require no pre-mixing, viscosity adjustments or stirring,
- Coating process is easily controlled and automated,
- Minimum waste and associated disposal costs,
- Eliminates use of solvents,
- Allows users to achieve a broad range of coating thicknesses in a single pass without runs or sags,
- Minimises reject as damaged coatings can be blown off before heat is applied to the object,
- Cuts down on air conditioning requirements as all air is typically returned to the plant,
- One coat coverage reduces production time and related costs,
- Corrosion Resistant.
Why Powder Coatings?
Thermo setting powder coatings are now generally recognized as having a significant role in the metal finishing industries world-wide
Powder coatings have been a commercial reality now for over thirty years.
Powder coatings are used for the same key reasons as any surface finishing process:
- To protect the substrate they have been applied to
- To enhance the appearance of the item they have been applied to.
The key benefits of powder coatings are often summarized by the five E's of powder coating.
- Ease of application
- Environmentally friendly
- Economical
- Excellence of finish
- Excellence of performance
Other benefits include:
- The elimination to a large extent of solid waste disposal problems.
- Solvent emissions are virtually eliminated, resulting in much easier compliance with EPA regulations.
- Energy costs are greatly reduced and Volatile Organic Component easily controlled.
- No solvents are required in mixing, cleaning or maintenance.
- Up to 99% of powder overspray can be recovered and reused. The 1% residual can easily be disposed off as a solid.
Powder coatings are often used as alternatives to liquid paint finishing. In comparisons with traditional liquid finishing, powder coatings offer two significant application benefits:
- They are single coat finishes, with no primer required.
- High film thickness can be achieved with a single coat.
The powder coating application process is also readily automated, enabling high volume industrial application plants to operate economically with a minimum of rejects. These benefits have enabled powder coatings to take a significant share of the industrial finishing market.

A Guide to Running Right
By Anthony Tanzi, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Physical Therapist at Northern Westchester Hospital
Spring has sprung. Your thoughts are turning toward the outdoors, activity, and exercise. This is the time of year when people begin working out with hopes of dropping a size or three. Jogging is one of the healthiest and fastest ways to get in shape, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. I also think it's an excellent choice. I've competed in Ironman Triathlons and currently hold the Nutmeg State Half-Marathon record. I help athletes of all ages compete in every type of event, from their first 5K to ultra-distance races, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that too many people start training too hard or go too far and end up with an injury. You have to pick a program that suits you, and you have to stick with it.
To help people find the right approach, Northern Westchester Hospital's Physical Therapy Program will be hosting three free running clinics at their Ambulatory Care Center at Chappaqua Crossing on May 1st, 8th, and 15th. The clinics are geared to novice joggers and longtime runners looking for a competitive edge. I'm pleased to be the instructor for these sessions which will cover topics such as the right shoes, the right training, and how technology can help improve your results.
Getting clearance from your doctor before you start any exercise program is mandatory, but once you have the okay, the second thing to do is get a pair of running shoes. People often think they can jog in any type of shoe, but that can lead to injuries. Although the barefoot jogging craze has made padding-free running shoes popular, I suggest beginners seek out a shoe that provides a mid-level cushioning. You don't need a lot of padding, but the minimalist shoes really aren't suitable for people unaccustomed to the repetitive stress of jogging.
Do you need a shoe with high arch support? After you get out of the shower, take a look at your damp footprint as you stride across the bathroom floor: Is it narrow in the middle or a well-defined footprint? The first indicates a high arch, the second a flat foot and little need for arch support; this information can guide your shoe choice. For clothing, wear athletic gear; though if you're just starting out don't feel like you need to invest in expensive, moisture-wicking gear. Women will definitely want a sports bra, though, and men should pick up snug-fitting Lycra undershorts.
Plan to run about three times a week, and start with a distance that challenges you without completely draining your energy. Track your distance and efforts, and then increase it by about 10 percent each week—but no more than that. It may not seem like a lot, but doing too much too soon is how joggers get injured. If you run about 10 miles that first week, add a total of one mile to next week's tally. Don't forget to warm up for at least five minutes before you start. Walk at a normal pace, then a brisk one, then break into a slow jog and slowly increase speed until you reach your exercise pace. Cool down for about the same amount of time: You can do a slow jog or walk for this.
You would be wise to consult with a trainer or coach when setting up your jogging program. You can use GPS watches or heart monitors to get a better gauge of your efforts. Technology can be a huge help, but it's wise to have a coach to help guide you in the proper use, something we'll cover during the running clinics. I'll give out a lot of pointers and answer any questions you might have.

NEW YORK — The Obama administration plans to order companies that have received exceptionally large amounts of bailout money from the government to slash compensation for their highest-paid executives by about half on average, according to people familiar with the long-awaited decision.
The cuts will affect 25 of the most highly paid executives at each of five major financial companies and two automakers, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plan has not been made public. Cash salaries will be cut by about 90 percent compared with last year, they said.
The administration will also curtail many corporate perks, including the use of corporate jets for personal travel, chauffeured drivers and country club fee reimbursement, people familiar with the matter have said. Individual perks worth more than $25,000 have received particular scrutiny.
In making the ruling, the administration's "pay czar," Kenneth Feinberg, will be inserting the government as never before into pay decisions traditionally made in corporate boardrooms. His decree, which the Treasury Department expects to announce today, will culminate a months-long review prompted by public outrage over outsize paydays at failing companies saved with taxpayer money.
The seven companies under Feinberg's purview are Citigroup, Bank of America, General Motors, Chrysler, GMAC, Chrysler Financial and American International Group. These firms have received a total of about $250 billion in bailout funds from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, adopted last year by Congress, and benefited from hundreds of billions of dollars more in government guarantees and other support.
Feinberg, who was named special master on compensation by the administration in June, has sole discretion to set compensation for the five top senior executives plus the 20 highest-paid people after them at each of the seven companies. His decisions are binding.
Under Feinberg's plan, cash salary for affected executives will go down by an average of 90 percent, the sources said. That means an executive who received $1 million in cash salary last year would get $100,000 this year.
Executives can still receive additional salary in stock, but will have to wait two years before redeeming the shares. Even then, they will be able to cash in on only a third of that stock. The executives will be able to cash in another third after three years and the rest after four years. Because it is considered salary, executives get to keep the stock even if they leave their employers.
Under Feinberg's plan, executives at the Financial Products unit of American International Group — widely blamed for the insurer's downfall — will receive only a base cash salary, the source said. None of the AIG unit's employees will receive more than $200,000.
Executives at Chrysler Financial — the automaker's lending arm, which is winding down operations — will also receive only the cash salary component, the source said.
The extent of the pay cut for most of the 175 executives will be less severe than the average for the overall group.
For example, Citigroup initially proposed a pay package for star trader Andrew Hall that included a $100 million bonus, according to two people familiar with the matter. But the bank submitted a revised plan that defers Hall's compensation until 2010, when it would no longer fall under Feinberg's purview. The revised plan now lists Hall's 2009 bonus as zero, people familiar with the matter said.
Earlier this month, Feinberg gave his blessing to a pay package worth up to $10.5 million for AIG's new chief executive, Robert Benmosche. Under the plan, Benmosche would receive an annual salary of $7 million — $3 million in cash and $4 million in fully vested common stock — and would be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards of up to $3.5 million each year.
Bank of America and GMAC would not comment, saying they had not yet been notified of the cuts by Feinberg's office. Citigroup, AIG, GM and Chrysler Financial also declined to comment. The carmaker Chrysler would not discuss details before Feinberg's announcement.

text: I've completed most of the edits to the Haskell 98 report for Haskell 2010, modulo the changes to the libraries that we still have to resolve. I cleaned up various other things I discovered along the way, and tidied up the typesetting. I've also made a much nicer HTML rendering of the report using TeX4ht, which means we can ditch the old 1500 lines of hacked up Haskell code which used to do the HTML conversion before. You can see the draft report here, in PDF and online HTML respectively: http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/haskell-2010-draft-report.pdf http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/haskell-2010-draft-report/haskell.html In the PDF you'll notice that the bits that changed in Haskell 2010 relative to Haskell 98 are purple (except for the FFI chapter). Unfortunately I haven't yet managed to make this work in the HTML version, but it ought to be possible. I'd appreciate a few more eyes over this, in particular look out for messed up typesetting as there could still be a few bugs lurking.

I am in the market for a bike rack. I will only have hardtails to transport and want to to have the ability to do some minor off roading in my jeep patriot.
It appears that the front wheel carriers will not have the clearance necessary for minor off roading, however, they look more sturdy over top tube carriers.
I have some other thule products (roof rack and storage box) and they have held up great. From what I can gather, people are disappointed in thule products because of durability (rust and weak components).
What are your thoughts when considering the following carriers:
Thule APEX
Thule VERTEX
Thule T2 918XTR or 1UPUSA
I am currently leaning toward top tube carriers because they offer much greater clearance over front wheel carriers. I have heard that they can be a PIA because your bikes end up sliding around during transit.
Should I strongly consider front wheel carriers regardless of my want of minor off roading ability?

Grant awarded to study compost
The Organic Farming Research Foundation has awarded the Rodale Institute $14,932 to study the potential for microbes found in compost to fight plant pathogens in seeds and soil.
Organic farmers often experience significant crop losses due to soil-borne plant pathogens because they do not use fumigants and other harmful chemicals. If successful, this project could eventually lead to production of a new seed treatment for organic farmers to protect against pathogens.
Principle investigator is Eric Carr at Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, a leading center for the study of organic farming and gardening since its founding in 1947. Greenhouse and field trials will be conducted at Rodale Institute's certified organic farm.
Carr explained that the project will explore the application of freeze-drying microbial extracts from compost to a powder form that will be applied onto to the seed surface, where it best protects the seeds.

Eager to inject some fun into the burgeoning French house underground, le Friant borrowed the name Bob Sinclar (from a character in the well-known French film Le Magnifique) and in 1997 produced his first Sinclar EP, A Space Funk Project. Soon enough, he had an entire Bob Sinclar LP ready to go, and Paradise appeared on Yellow just in time for summer 1998. One of the album's tracks, "Gym Tonic," began getting some club play in France thanks to its bouncy house vibe and incessant singalong chorus (lifted from a Jane Fonda workout record). A huge anthem during the summer season in Ibiza, "Gym Tonic" looked ready to explode on the charts until Fonda sought legal action for the illegal sample. Perhaps wary of overly burdensome commercial success, the song's co-producer -- Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter, who'd just recorded his own breezy house delight, Stardust's "Music Sounds Better with You" -- refused to have even a remixed version released as a single. Nevertheless, assorted bootlegs cropped up and by October a mysterious artist named Spacedust -- probably just a major-label-fronted cash-in attempt -- hit the top of the charts in Britain with an almost identical remix of the Sinclar-Bangalter original, entitled "Gym and Tonic." (Another crass Spacedust move, covering Bangalter's solo hit with the slimly disguised title "Music Feels Good with You," dropped like a rock.)
With all the offending samples removed, Sinclar's Paradise LP was re-released worldwide in 1999. He also worked on remixes, providing tracks by Bangalter himself, Ian Pooley, Second Crusade, and the Yellow project Tom & Joyce with additional production. Le Friant returned to the Mighty Bop alias in 2000 with the retrospective mix collection Spin My Hits. In 2000, he issued his first U.S. album release as Sinclar, Champs Elysées, on Subliminal Records. The 2001 release Cerrone by Bob Sinclar found him mixing his personal favorites from the back catalog of one of his big influences, Cerrone. After climbing the dance charts in 2005 with the single "Love Generation," he released the full-length Western Dream in 2006. The following year Sinclar put out a mix-tape style CD, Soundz of Freedom, which featured remixes by the likes of Tocadisco and Axwell, alongside a clutch of new songs from the French DJ. His 2009 album Born in 69 stepped away from his earlier disco-inspired beginnings and toward a more dancehall crossover sound which included collaborations with Shabba Ranks and Kevin Lyttle. He moved further into dub and reggae-influenced sounds in 2010 when he teamed up with legendary producers Sly & Robbie on his seventh release Made in Jamaica. The LP included reggae interpretations of some of his biggest hits, such as Wold Hold On and Love Generation. Two years later Disco Crash came, and signalled a return to his club roots. Here he revisited the big beats and synth lines that powered his rise to fame and assembled a host of artists, including Sean Paul, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Pitbull, to complete his ninth album. ~ John Bush, Rovi

The 53-year-old insisted he harboured no hard feelings towards his former club as his new side took apart the Nerazzurri in Naples
Both Benitez and Inter boss Walter Mazzarri were facing their former employers and although the Nerazzurri boss was afforded a generous reception in Naples, it was the Spaniard who was left smiling at the final whistle.
"I have many friends at Inter," Benitez explained to Sky Sport Italia after the game.
"The facts speak for my history there and I have only joy in seeing my team win an important match.
"The Champions League exit was done with our heads held very high, so I expected this performance. Clearly it is different, we played against a great side and did very well."
The midfield trio of Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens tormented the Nerazzuri all evening and the former Chelsea boss lauded the influence of his creative contingent.
"All three [Insigne, Callejon and Mertens] have the freedom to change position of they want to," the 53-year-old explained.
"As long a they then do the defensive work too, they are able to do what they want in attack.
"Of course we can still improve. The idea is to keep the ball, but at times there are mistakes and it can put the defence under pressure.
"I told Cristian Maggio it should've been Lorenzo [Insigne, to take the penalty], but Pandev was quick to take it and we didn't have time to get the message across."

James Frain
Jump to
Actor James Frain was a quintessential chameleon. Regardless of the role he portrayed - whether it was a sinister Spaniard in "Elizabeth" (1998), a classical pianist in "Hilary and Jackie" (1998), or a soft-spoken librarian in "Where the Heart Is" (2000) - Frain always extracted hidden layers of his characters' emotions and brought them to the forefront. Frain also delivered strong performances on the action drama "24" (Fox, 2001-10) as well as on the critically acclaimed Showtime miniseries "The Tudors" (2007-10), as a commoner who rises to power as King Henry VIII's ally. But it was Frain's impressive turn as a psychotic vampire obsessed with a human on the award-winning HBO series "True Blood" (2008-14) that put him on the map and successfully showcased his range as a performer.

Never let it be said that Las Vegas isn't the world's capital of star chefs and super restaurant dining. It's proven this weekend yet again as Vegas Uncork'd by Bon Appetit gets under way with one of the largest gatherings of chefs, master sommeliers and food fans. More than 6,000 attendees are expected to attend the four days of eating and drinking.
The spectacular kicks off its seventh annual epicurean adventures Thursday afternoon with a ceremonial burst of prosecco sabered off outside Hakkasan Las Vegas in front of MGM Grand's gold lion. Michael Mina, honored Monday night with his induction into the Who's Who of Food at the James Beard Awards in New York, Guy Savoy and Francois Payard from Caesars Palace, Julian Serrano and Jean-Georges Vongerichten from Bellagio and Aria and Mary Sue Milliken from Mandalay Bay join Bon Appetit Editor Adam Rapoport and Cathy Tull of the Las Convention and Visitors Authority for the ceremony.
The Master Series dinners Thursday evening are a majestic masterpiece at Caesars: Award-winning Central chef Michel Richard promises a six-course affair; iconic Old Homestead offers timeless dishes for tasting; celebrity chefs Nobu Matsuhisa, Gordon Ramsay and Bobby Flay are on duty at their restaurants; and Guy Savoy, Francois Payard and the Pellegrino family at Rao's return. The after-party is at the newly opened Hakkasan, and I'll have my review of the dazzling Chinese restaurant in our Counter Intelligence column Wednesday.
Chef of the Century Joel Robuchon returns for his cooking-and-wine brunch at his MGM restaurant Friday, followed by chef Charlie Palmer's afternoon tea party at Aureole in Mandalay Bay. Nearby, Border Grill chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken host a tequila pairing and interactive cooking demo if the south-of-the-border drinks aren't too plentiful!
Additionally, Michael Mina gives foodies a sneak peek of his PUB 1842 at MGM before its summer opening. The Light Group chef Brian Massie splurges with vodka and caviar at Red Square in Mandalay Bay. More than 2,500 guests are expected for the Grand Tasting poolside at Caesars' Garden of the Gods on Friday evening, with 50 award-winning chefs and more than 100 global wines.
On Saturday, "Top Chef" judge and contestant Hubert Keller, who flies in from Shanghai where he opened his first Asian Burger Bar last Sunday, joins with chef Laurent Pillard for a beer garden at Mandalay Bay. Nearby at Michael Mina's Strip Steak is a three-course Japanese wagyu tasting with handcrafted Japanese whiskey pairings, while Charlie Palmer's Aureole presents an Oyster Extravaganza. Francois Payard will reveal his pastry savvy secrets at his Caesars brasserie, and Michael Mina hosts a Block Party at Bellagio with chefs including Todd English, Akira Back, Julian Serrano and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Two aspiring culinary students from our Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute compete to win a $20,000 scholarship in a Live Grill off presented by the Chase Sapphire Preferred travel rewards card. They'll be paired as sous chefs with Bellagio award winners Todd English (Olives ) and Akira Back (Yellowtail) for the ultimate live onstage barbecue challenge. The runner-up receives $5,000.
"I am thrilled to participate in the grill challenge to help fund a local culinary student's schooling," said Todd. "Vegas Uncork'd is the perfect stage for a live challenge that supports the next generation of Las Vegas culinary talent." Andrew Knowlton, Bon Appetit restaurant and spirits editor, will serve as emcee and head judge, and a Chase Sapphire cardholder will judge the chefs' culinary creations and select the winners.
I planned on being a judge but will be reporting from backstage at The Rolling Stones concert at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Chase Sapphire cardholders attending also have a chance to win a private Sunday brunch with Julian Serrano. Celebrated chef Alain Ducasse tops it off with a midnight party at his Mix atop The Hotel at Mandalay Bay.
If you're full by the three days of feasting, fret not because the extravaganza continues Sunday: Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill hosts a traditional English Sunday roast with all the fixings at his Caesars winner, and nearby Frank Pellegrino Jr. hosts his Italian brunch at world-famous Rao's.

Coventry manager Steven Pressley says points deduction would end promotion bid
Steven Pressley fears it would be "mission impossible" for Coventry to earn promotion if they are docked 10 points.
Last Updated: 21/03/13 8:43pm
Coventry and owners SISU will appear at the High Court in London on Friday to contest an administration order brought against them by Arena Coventry Limited.
ACL, who manage the Ricoh Arena on behalf of joint-owners the Alan Edward Higgs Charity and Coventry City Council, claim they are owed more than £1.3m in unpaid rent dating back a year.
The ongoing row has led to Coventry having their bank accounts frozen, while earlier this month City were also placed under a transfer embargo after they again failed to file their annual accounts on time.
The club are currently eighth in League One and just three points off the play-offs, but a 10-point penalty would effectively end their promotion hopes.
Former Falkirk boss Pressley, appointed manager of City two weeks ago, said: "My biggest concern is for the players and supporters because it's been 39 games of hard work and following the team. It's them who suffer most.
"I desperately hope we find a solution and continue challenging for those play-off places. We can only wait until we hear the verdict and continue to prepare for Saturday's game in the hope we can still go on and gain promotion.
"The players and the supporters are the ones who really suffer out of this, that's why I'm desperate for some form of solution."
On the possible 10-point deduction, Pressley added: "It becomes mission impossible in terms of promotion but it's certainly not 'season over'. There's always something to play for and one of the things is in this football club."

The official launch of Solano County's Christmas celebration takes place tonight as Vacaville once again enjoys The Reporter's 31st annual Merriment on Main, the community tree-lighting ceremony and celebration.
The nearly 70-foot Christmas tree will be lighted and Santa Claus will arrive on stage, officially ushering in the holiday season. The old-fashioned celebration is an extravaganza of sights, sounds and flavors and a special community event that has to be experienced to be truly understood.
Merriment On Main is The Reporter's gift to the community. It began in 1983 when then-publisher Richard Rico gifted a giant Christmas tree to Vacaville as a thank-you to the community for 100 years of support of The Reporter.
The tradition carries on today, thanks to the efforts and donations of The Reporter and generous sponsors, along with dozens of volunteers, community groups and the city of Vacaville.
Taped holiday music will start at 4:30 p.m. for the gathering crowds. Hosting the Main Stage are members of the Mobility group from the U.S. Air Force Band of the Golden West, which will lead the sing-along from the official Merriment On Main songbook starting at approximately 5 p.m. Also scheduled to perform on the main stage are Eddy Kaanoi, Amanda Mills, Sarah Lundstrom, Tim Osterhout, Hannah Stadnick, Kaitlyn Kinder, Erin Partain and special guest appearances from the award-winning band Cheating Daylight and internationally acclaimed vocalist Holly Stell.
Mayor Steve Hardy, as well as 60th Air Mobility Wing Commander Col. Corey Martin, 621st Contingency Response Wing Commander Col. Martin Chapin, and 349th Air Mobility Wing Commander Col. Matthew Burger from Travis Air Force Base will lead the countdown to light the tree.
Following the lighting of the tree, Santa Claus will arrive on stage and wish everyone a Merry Christmas before taking his place on Creekwalk Plaza to visit with youngsters of all ages for the remainder of the event.
Hot cocoa, cider, cookies, candy and more will be handed out at various locations and, of course, the Vacaville Museum will once again offer its hot onion soup.
Everything is free on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Vacaville, as festivities continue until 8:30 p.m.
The 500 block of Main Street, the intersection of Main, East Main and Davis Streets, and several downtown parking lots will be closed to traffic at 7 this morning so that stages can be brought in. The rest of the downtown streets will close at 3 p.m. so that groups can set up for the festivities. They will remain closed until at least 9 p.m.
Two free shuttle buses, operating in a continuous loop, will transport people from the corner of East Main and Wilson Street to the Park & Ride lot on Davis Street, and then on to the Festival of Trees at the Vacaville Skating Center on Davis Street. The public is encouraged to park in the lots near the Brenden Theatre, the Skating Center or the Park & Ride lot, and use the shuttle.


text: This fascinating documentary follows the lives of three passionate film geeks during the first year of operations of their single-screen repertory cinema. Its misfit owners/operators Alex, Charlie and Nigel dub their new venture 'The Underground Cinema,' and will stop at nothing to see their cinema succeed in the face of daunting competition from big box theatres and an ever-increasing multitude of home video alternatives, not to mention a cultural climate in which movies have become less of an experience and more of an activity. Offering a rare glimpse in to the vibrant, and often difficult, world of repertory and independent cinema exhibition, The Rep reveals the day-to-day operations, the struggles and the successes, while also offering a broader picture of the state of independent cinemas in North America. Featuring such indie theatres as the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, and the Film Forum in New York City, with commentary by filmmakers Kevin Smith, John Waters, Atom Egoyan, and George A. Romero, The Rep shows that the passion for unique, communal cinematic experiences is still alive and kicking. The question is, what does it take to succeed as an independent cinema, and will a larger audience recognize their cultural value before it's too late?

Despite leading from the outset on Wednesday night, Branson had to withstand run after run to keep Stuart Hall at arm's length.
So when Taylor Walton stole the ball, with his Bulls up 50-40 late in the fourth quarter, he wanted to do more than finish a fast break.
"I wanted to seal the deal," Walton said. "It was a game of runs and I wanted to make a lasting play."
Did he ever.
Walton made sure MCAL-champion Branson clinched a section final berth in style, breaking free for a thunderous right-handed slam with 3:08 left — part of a 9-0 run to cap a 57-40 victory over the Knights in the North Coast Section Division V semifinal at College of Marin.
The win sets up a 7 p.m. showdown on Saturday with top-seeded and three-time defending champ St. Joseph-Notre Dame at Albany High — a rematch of Branson's 2012 D-V title-game defeat.
"It's going to be a great, great match-up," said Bulls coach Bret Tovani, whose club narrowly lost to the Pilots, 64-62, earlier this season at the St. Ignatius Sand Dune Classic.
"(St. Joe's is) the Division V standard in Northern California, so for us to have the opportunity to play against them again is just awesome."
The No. 2-seed Bulls (25-5) got there behind a monster 23-point, nine-rebound performance from Walton. His exclamation-point dunk was his easiest basket on a night that saw the Occidental-bound standout make a living finishing around the basket.
Matt Daly was often the one feeding him, dishing out six assists and grabbing seven boards to go with five points. John Broderick was terrific on both ends of the floor, notching 13 points, five assists and four rebounds while playing strong defense against Stuart Hall standout Armani Collins.
One of the top juniors in Northern California, the rangy Collins drilled a pair of 3-pointers and scored 15 points, but only managed two in the opening quarter as Branson raced out to a 15-6 lead.
The Bulls led by as many as 11 in the first half, but the No. 3 Knights (23-7) used their sharp outside shooting to close the half on a 9-2 run and pull within 26-24. After Axavier Byrd (seven points) and Tyler Ryan (eight points) drained back-to-back deep 3-pointers, Ryan drew a foul beyond the arc and sank all three to help Stuart Hall go into the locker room down just two.
"They know us and we know them. Our key was to just control them a little bit," Tovani said. "They have three legitimate offensive studs. We just wanted to be a presence there and make sure they have to deal with us, instead of getting whatever they want."
The teams dueled back-and-forth through much of the second half, with the Bulls going up 38-28 late in the third then Stuart Hall clawing to within five (38-33) on a deep, straight-away 3 by Collins to start the final period.
Collins drove to make it 48-40 with 4:05 left, but Stuart Hall never scored again while the Bulls ran away with things.
After Daly fed Colin Joyce (seven points) to go up 50-40, Walton stole the ball near mid-court and found a clear path to the hoop.
He knew what to do from there.
"(Taylor is) of the best finishers at the rim in this state," Daly said.
And their team will now play to decide who's best in the section.

How to Budget with a Big Family
Budgeting for a large family certainly has it challenges as there are some things that cost more because there are more people living in the house. However careful planning in all areas of expenditure can mean that the budget will be a success.
General household bills that exclude the mortgage and utilities will be standard for most people regardless of the size of their family.
Large families need a large house and so mortgage payments are likely to be higher. These can be reduced if the deposit is large enough but mortgage payments are likely to be the biggest expense in the budget.
As the home is likely to be larger, utilities such as electricity and water may also be higher. People tend to find that they can save money with a tankless water heater. Using energy efficient light bulbs and not leaving appliances on standby can also help to reduce electricity costs.
Cell phones may also be a large expense, especially with older children and teenagers that may want phones of their own. One way to save money here could be to try and get one contract that gives multiple handsets as this can work out a lot cheaper. Parents can also cap their children's usage so they are not faced with any unexpected bills.
If people are able to take out health insurance through their employer then it is usually possible get the whole family included on the policy by just paying a little extra. This is usually a lot cheaper than taking out a separate policy.
Life insurance is considered essential for all families. For large families the cost of a policy may be a little higher because they are likely to feel the financial impact of losing a parent more keenly. There is also the fact that a larger amount of money will be needed to pay off the mortgage.
The more people that there are in a household, the higher the food bills are going to be. People with large families often say that their grocery bill is one expense that they feel they have little control over. The cheapest way to cook for a large number of people is to cook everything from scratch and not rely on processed food. There may be items that can be bought in bulk from stores such as Costco which can reduce the total grocery bill.
Travel And Vacations
Travelling with a large family can be extremely expensive, especially if travelling by plane or train where everyone has to have their own ticket. There is also a high chance that more than one hotel room will be needed.
Travel hacking is becoming an increasingly popular way to make travel more affordable. This involves using credit cards that give air miles as rewards and then using these miles to save money on air fares. It does require a lot of hard work to make sure that the best deal is achieved on each card but the savings that can be made make this effort well worth it.
It is likely that a large family may need at least two cars and they will both have to be used whenever the family travel anywhere together.
Many large families make the decision to have one parent stay at home because the costs of childcare are so high that any wages earned are wiped out by this childcare.
