Missed chances hurt Miners in opening-round loss.
Missed chances against the Great Lakes Valley Conference's "Pitcher of the Year" proved to be costly for Missouri S&T in its opening game of the conference baseball tournament Thursday, as Saint Joseph's pushed a run across with two outs in the bottom of the tenth inning for a 2-1 win at Bosse Field.
S&T (24-24), was scheduled to face the Drury-Maryville loser later Thursday in an elimination game.
Charlie Dennehey's single to center scored Brandon Brian with the winning run in a game that featured outstanding pitching from the Miners' Nolan Korn and SJC's Jordan Peterson, who was named as the league's top pitcher on Wednesday.
The Miners got the early lead in the second after Will Morrison doubled off the fence on a ball that was misjudged by Brian in left. After a sacrifice bunt, Morrison scored on a two-out single by Colin Coan.
S&T continued to get runners into scoring position against Peterson in the innings that followed, including its first two in the fourth and in the sixth when it loaded the bases with one out. In the sixth, S&T had the bases filled with one out, but Peterson got Coan to hit into a double play on a comebacker to escape that jam.
Saint Joseph's tied the game in the fifth on an RBI single by Brian that scored Matt Skrzypiec, but Korn was able to escape trouble in the sixth, eighth and ninth innings to keep the game tied. In the eighth, with runners at first and second with one out, Korn fanned Kolin Conner and Dennehey to get out of the inning.
Skrzypiec doubled with one out in the ninth, but Korn got a pair of fly outs to end that threat.
In the bottom of the tenth, Brian was hit by a pitch to start the inning and he ended up at third after a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch. After Conner was walked with two outs, Dennehey hit a solid single into center to end the game.
Korn allowed only eight hits in the season-high 9 2/3 innings that he worked and struck out six. Meanwhile, Peterson – who threw all 10 innings for the Pumas for the second consecutive time – gave up seven hits and struck out five.
Coan and Sam Adams had two hits apiece for the Miners.

They do that through a pinboard site that presents users with the best possible images through a, "special algorithm that combines human subjectivity and technology certainty". This is what sets them apart from their main competitor, Pinterest. Founder, Eugene Strokin, was kind enough to lend us his time and provide us with a first-hand account of the ins and outs of Indulgy.How did you get into creating a pinboard site?I was inspired to start the site three years ago when my wife was submitting pictures to a pinboard styled site called foodgawker.com. I noticed the massive amounts of traffic driven by this site and thought to myself, why just food? I went on to build a pinboard site where people could post and share pictures of anything they were passionate about and visualize their perfect world.What is your mission, specifically what are you trying to accomplish?I am trying to build a site where people can come and be visually inspired. This isn't a site where people come to interact with one another; in fact people don't have to talk to each other at all. People come here to look at beautiful pictures, and in that respect our site falls somewhere between Pinterest and Tumblr. We constantly work to find the best content and present it to our users.What kind of connection do you have with your user and what's some of the feedback you receive?Although we don't often communicate with our users directly on our site, we do receive a lot of feedback from them. We have two types of users, those who stop by the site consistently and those who come and go. Both of these groups provide us with different types of feedback and we aim to give them the best experience when they visit Indulgy.What are you looking forward to in the future, how will your focus shift?We are currently working hard to monetize our site, one we do that is through VigLink. Another option we are considering is the implementation of a shopping cart directly to our site. This is appealing to us because it gives us more control when the user stays on our site to make a purchase. Although we haven't gotten that far, we know we will stay true to our native advertising roots. Since our primarily focus is aesthetics and quality content, we would never compromise that by having intrusive ads on our site.What value do you deliver your customer by showcasing certain brands?We only collaborate with the most elite brands that are visually pleasing to our audience. Again, since everything is visual on our site we don't want to compromise that by working with brands that don't uphold our standard. Once we have identified which brands are good partners for us we offer to showcase them on our site if they are willing to give us a commission increase. However, like I stated earlier we wouldn't promote anything that isn't relevant to our audience.How does the shift to mobile consumption affect your strategy?Over half of our traffic is mobile. That being said, we recognize the importance of optimizing our site for mobile and have done so accordingly. Looking to the future we would like to design an app for our site but that takes resources that we haven't quite yet acquired. Written by Hanna Fritzinger

I've been searching for a way to find the date and time that a PC was last shut down correctly. I came across HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows and a value within it - ShutdownTime. In mine (XP Pro) there is a binary value: 04FB79E2DF9FC701.
I have a couple of questions:
Firstly, there is also a binary value in the same area in ....\ControlSet001\... which is different (84445FE4F17DC701) whilst the value in the same area in ...\ControlSet002\... and ...\ControlSet003\... is the same as that in ...\CurrentControlSet\... Why the different value in ...\ControlSet001\...?
Secondly, I interpreted the first binary value using Decode (http://www.digital-detective.co.uk/freetools/decode.asp) and I was fortunate to use the first Decode Format (Windows: 64 bit Hex Value - Little Endian) which gave me the correct date and time when I last shut down my PC (Sat, 26 May 2007 21:50:32 UTC). Is there any other way that I can decode the binary value? Ideally, I'd like to be able to do it manually so I understand exactly what's happening. I've not been able to find information anywhere about the binary format of date/time in the registry. I've no idea about the other binary value which decodes to Fri, 13 April 2007 17:33:47 UTC. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time (and patience!).

Voters Harvest a Bumper Crop of New Marijuana Laws
Humboldt Corn (Taken October 2012)
Like corn in Iowa or potatoes in Idaho, the price of certain key crops indicate the economic health of a region. For better or worse, the crop that fuels the financial engine of the Emerald Triangle is marijuana. Economists and bankers have estimated that Humboldt County alone produces from $400 million to over $2.5 billion dollars in sticky green buds. This week, voters in two states, Washington and Colorado, approved two different models of legalization. What happens in those states could affect the price of cannabis in this area and the region's financial future.
Dominic Corva, a political geographer from Sarah Lawrence College who is currently studying cannabis issues in Humboldt County but maintains a residence in Washington state, says legalization in these two states will have an "effect on the national conversation…just like we saw after California medical marijuana passed, we saw more states passing [equivalent laws.] " Like with Prohibition, he says, states will pass legislation continuing to loosen cannabis laws on their own. The effect will "snowball."
Most people agree that with easement of marijuana laws, wholesale prices will drop. For Humboldt and Mendocino counties which rely heavily on income from cannabis growers this could be disastrous.
Corva suggests that "increased production in Colorado and Washington may be problematic for California producers but probably not." Nonetheless, "this could have the long term effect of expanded outdoor production–over production. Outlook for wholesale cannabis prices is bad." One of the reasons that marijuana prices here might drop, Corva says, is it is "Less risky to move marijuana from Boulder to NY than from Garberville out of California….This could drop prices." However, he says, "There doesn't seem much room for them to drop much more seriously."
Emerald Growers Association Chairwoman, Kristin Nevedal, says that her group does not expect to see any negative fallout from the legalization success in those two states. "I don't know if the black market is going to flood and drop prices," she says though she doesn't think it likely. But prices for medical marijuana, she believes, which are between $1400 and $2,500 for "depo" (marijuana brought to harvest early in the season by partially depriving it of sunlight) won't be affected because Washington and Colorado can't legally export their cannabis. Dispensaries in California can't buy from growers in those two states and the marijuana produced there can not cross state lines legally.
Though, of course, the black market producers export cannabis across state lines already.
Nonetheless, Nevedal says that medical marijuana growers are "contract farmers" who won't be affected in any case. "The price of production is what affects the price. The bottom can't fall out because a farmer has to pay for production." Besides, she says, much of California doesn't have to worry about competition from Colorado or Washington because neither one of those two states has sungrown cannabis available in quantities. Sungrown cannabis is becoming more popular as consumers who buy organic, environmentally friendly foods look for similar qualities in the buds they purchase.
Corva offers a similar viewpoint. "The outdoor organic capital is still in your neck of the woods."
In fact, according Nevedal, her group which represents the interests of medical marijuana growers in several Northern California counties hopes that the success in Washington and Colorado will help them with their goals in California. In the next couple of months, she believes, there will be "a little more political bravery" because of the changing laws in these two states.
Nevedal is "super optimistic at this point" about the future of medical cannabis in California. She says, "Close to 80% of the polled population supports medical marijuana. Close to 60% flat out want to legalize [marijuana without medical restrictions.]"
West Coast High Times Editor David Bienenstock says, "I think clearly that California led the way with medical marijuana." And, he believes that "the citizens of California aren't going to be satisfied until we make this very rational decision….We will have 2 years to look at the progress of Washington and Colorado." He even thinks that California might not wait two years. Bienenstock says, "California went heavily Democratic in this last election…" so the state may not have to wait for an election. Perhaps lawmakers, he says, will seize the opportunity to create legislation themselves.
Bienenstock hopes that "public officials in Humboldt County are preparing for a post legalization world." This is both a "Crisis and opportunity" for growers in the area. And he believes, "This is a change we have to make for so many reasons."
Colorado and Washington weren't the only states changing their marijuana laws. Massachusetts approved medical marijuana making it the 17th state to do so.
Not all cannabis laws were loosened though. Montana approved a law tightening restrictions on its medical law. Oregon's proposal to legalize marijuana didn't pass. And Arkansas' medical marijuana proposal went down, too. And, of course, closer to home, Measure I in Arcata will impose a 45% tax on those with electricity bills higher than 600% of baseline usage. This could affect around 7% of homes in the city. [Article coming up on this measure soon.]
Nonetheless, state and city law changes are only reflect a small amount of what is happening. There is still the federal government to contend with. Certainly this last year has seen a huge crackdown in California with the federal government shutting down over 600 dispensaries.
Nevedal though believes there will be no federal crackdown in those two states like there has been in California because the federal government "had every opportunity" to come out against the laws proposed and they didn't. Nevedal speculates that the federal government has "heard the request" of the voters and will at least halt prosecution of medical marijuana. "We'll see a freeze and review policy," she believes, "especially towards medical policy." This will, she believes, "support us getting a regulatory system in place [for medical marijuana.]"
Corva, however, says that among people he knows, ""We expect a federal reaction that will prevent all or part of the law from going into effect…However, within Washington State it is hard to find juries willing to convict."
It is true that in a sign that views at the top might be changing, US Attorney General Eric Holder who came out a month before California's Prop. 19 promising to "vigourously enforce" marijuana laws, quietly ignored Colorado and Washington's proposed laws before the election.
Nonetheless, immediately after this latest election, a spokesperson from the Department of Justice said, "The department's enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged. In enacting the Controlled Substances Act, Congress determined that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance. We are reviewing the ballot initiatives and have no additional comment at this time." California's experience this last year under an onslaught of federal forces may indicate that the government is unwilling to ignore challenges to its drug policy.
Ironically, the federal government's crackdown may well be the best price support Humboldt County has. In the face of increasing production here and a dropping of legal barriers in other states, prices should have been dropping precipitously. Nonetheless, prices have remained seasonally stable even very slightly increased from last year at this time. The crackdown surely is a factor in prices failing to fall.

What can I say about Graphic 45 paper that hasn't already been said? The designs are a tasteful update of period graphic art that creates a nostalgic mood based on the 1920s and '30s. The paper is a satisfying heavy weight and printed double sided. The coordinated sheets of tags, stickers, and fonts further add to the look. I am a great fan of this line of paper.
I am always looking for paper to use in making masculine cards. This one will fit the bill nicely. I just happen to have a stamp that will coordinate with this paper very well.
It's "Graphic 45" paper...need I say more??

In 1957, Bishop Samuel Nathan Hancock left the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (PAW) to start another organization, the Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith, Incorporated. The exodus of this charismatic pastor of the 3,000-member Greater Bethlehem Temple in Detroit, Michigan was the culmination of years of contention and disagreement. While some have branded Bishop Hancock a heretic and a schismatic, the facts surrounding his departure seem typical of the organizational fecundity so typical of the Pentecostal movement.
Samuel Nathan Hancock, who was born 9 November 1883 in Adair County, Kentucky, came to Indianapolis, Indiana with his family at the age of 5. In 1914, Samuel Hancock began attending services at G.T. Haywood's church at 11th and Senate. On 5 September 1914, he received the Holy Ghost and was water baptized (Tyson 37). In 1916, Samuel Hancock was amongst the 465 members of Christ Temple who submitted to rebaptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, following Glenn Cook's fortuitous campaign throughout the Midwest spreading the message of the mighty God in Christ.
Hancock felt called to the ministry and showed an aptitude for leadership. He was ordained to the ministry by G.T. Haywood and became Bishop Haywood's assistant pastor in 1917. In 1921, Samuel Hancock was invited to pastor a small group of Apostolic believers in Detroit, Michigan. After much prayer, he agreed to accept the position and declared by faith, "I will do a great thing in Detroit, Michigan." By 1926, the church had grown to nearly 400 members; and in 1929, a new 1,200-seat sanctuary was built at 2254 Clinton Street. Finally, in 1962, the church purchased the Jewish synagogue, Shaarey Zedek, which continues to be the present home of Clinton Street Greater Bethlehem Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith ("Bishop Samuel Nathan Hancock").
In 1927, Samuel Hancock had been elevated from the office of District Elder to Bishop within the PAW. Following the untimely death of Presiding Bishop G.T. Haywood in April 1931, his official post was left vacant for a year out of his respect for his incomparable legacy. During this period, the PAW was approached by Howard Goss and other leaders of the Pentecostal Ministerial Alliance. Through some hasty merger discussions, the two organizations combined to form the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ, and Bishop Hancock moved into the newly-formed amalgamation. The merger was ultimately dissatisfactory, and the PAW restored its charter under the leadership of Samuel Grimes (Golder 96-97). However, Hancock, who served as a presbyter in the PAJC, did not return to the PAW until 1938, when many of the Black brethren returned after a General Conference was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a racially-segregated city.
By 1940, Samuel Hancock had moved to the center of a doctrinal controversy within the PAW, and a special meeting was held in Columbus, Ohio to solidify the biblical standards of faith for the organization. Hancock was accused of teaching that Jesus Christ was only the son of God, not God Himself. Despite this notion, he was named in 1943 as a member of the Board of Directors of Aenon Bible School, the official seminary of the PAW (Golder 121-125). In 1955, Bishop Hancock, along with other members of the Executive Board, signed an affirmation of the Oneness doctrine (Golder 149).
Bishop Morris E. Golder, who wrote an official history of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, portrays Samuel Hancock as doctrinally aberrant, referring to his teachings on the Godhead as "'strange' ideas far removed from what was held as biblical by our organization." Golder also notes that the 1955 special meeting of the Executive Board convened specifically to refute the errors of Bishop Hancock. Further, Golder believes Hancock opposed the leadership of Samuel Grimes, believing that he himself should have been appointed Presiding Bishop following the death of Bishop Haywood (140).
On 20 November 1957, Bishop Hancock along with Bishops Heardie Leaston, Willie Lee, and Elder David Collins, officially incorporated the Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith. Interestingly, Bishop J.E. Moore, present Presiding Bishop of the PCAF, adamantly declares that Hancock never denied the deity of Christ. According to Bishop Moore, Hancock simply believed that the manifestation of the Son was not properly emphasized in the preaching and teaching of the PAW ("Interview"). Today, the doctrinal statement of the PCAF clearly demonstrates their strong affirmation of the revelation of the mighty God in Christ:
We believe in the oneness of God; that there are three manifestations of the one God—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The name by which God is known is Lord Jesus Christ. ("What We Believe").
In fact, Willie Lee later left the PCAF because he did not believe that Jesus was God, further suggesting that the PCAF position represented Oneness orthodoxy.
When he died on 18 August 1963 after a brief illness, Samuel N. Hancock left behind a thriving organization of nearly 600 churches. Under his leadership, Greater Bethlehem Temple made an important spiritual and humanitarian mark on Detroit. An estimated 100,000 people have been baptized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost through the ministry begun by Samuel N. Hancock. Hancock established a soup kitchen to feed the poor throughout the Great Depression, a 52-bedroom Girls' Home, a Boys' workshop for teaching carpentry and trade skills, a church-owned supermarket, and a church farm. Hancock also established satellite churches throughout Michigan in New Haven, Port Huron, Jackson, Delray, and another work in Detroit ("Bishop Samuel Nathan Hancock"). Ultimately, Bishop Hancock proved an important leader and innovator, and eternity will accurately tell his undeniable contributions to the Apostolic Pentecostal movement.

Abner Doubleday (June 26, 1819 – January 26, 1893) was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War. He fired the first shot in defense of Fort Sumter, the opening battle of the war, and had a pivotal role in the early fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg was his finest hour, but his relief by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade caused lasting enmity between the two men.
In San Francisco, after the war, he obtained a patent on the cable car railway that still runs there. In his final years in New Jersey, he was a prominent member and later president of the Theosophical Society.
Doubleday is often mistakenly credited with inventing baseball, although he never made such a claim, and there is no evidence to support it.
Doubleday was born in Ballston Spa, New York, in a small house on the corner of Washington and Fenwick streets. The family all slept in the attic loft of the one-room house. His paternal grandfather, also named Abner, had fought in the American Revolutionary War. His maternal grandfather joined the army at 14 and was a mounted messenger for George Washington. His father, Ulysses F. Doubleday, fought in the War of 1812, published newspapers and books, and represented Auburn, New York for four years in the United States Congress.[2] Abner spent his childhood in Auburn and later was sent to Cooperstown to live with his uncle and attend a private preparatory high school. He practiced as a surveyor and civil engineer for two years before entering the United States Military Academy[3] in 1838. He graduated in 1842, 24th in a class of 56 cadets, and was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 3rd U.S. Artillery.[4]
One of the persistent myths of baseball history is that Doubleday invented the game in 1839, although he was in West Point at the time. To his credit, Doubleday never claimed to have invented baseball. Neither his letters nor his diaries nor his New York Times obituary ever mentions the game, and he was never inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Doubleday initially served in coastal garrisons and then in the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848 and the Seminole Wars from 1856 to 1858. In 1852, he married Mary Hewitt of Baltimore.[5] In 1858 he was transferred to Fort Moultrie in Charleston harbor. By the start of the Civil War, he was a captain and second in command in the garrison at Fort Sumter, under Major Robert Anderson.[2] He aimed the cannon that fired the first return shot in answer to the Confederate bombardment on April 12, 1861. He subsequently referred to himself as the "hero of Sumter" for this role.[3]
Doubleday was promoted to major on May 14, 1861, and commanded the Artillery Department in the Shenandoah Valley from June to August, and then the artillery for Major General Nathaniel Banks's division of the Army of the Potomac. He was appointed brigadier general of volunteers on February 3, 1862, and was assigned to duty in northern Virginia while the Army of the Potomac conducted the Peninsula Campaign. His first combat assignment was to lead the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, III Corps of the Army of Virginia during the Northern Virginia Campaign. In the actions at Brawner's farm, just before the Second Battle of Bull Run, he took the initiative to send two of his regiments to reinforce Brigadier General John Gibbon's brigade against a larger Confederate force, fighting it to a standstill. (Personal initiative was required since his division commander, Brig. Gen. Rufus King, was incapacitated by an epileptic seizure at the time. He was replaced by Brigadier General John P. Hatch.)[6] His men were routed when they encountered Major General James Longstreet's corps, but by the following day, August 30, he took command of the division when Hatch was wounded, and he led his men to cover the retreat of the Union Army.[3]
Doubleday again led the division, now assigned to the I Corps of the Army of the Potomac, after South Mountain, where Hatch was wounded again. AtAntietam, he led his men into the deadly fighting in the Cornfield and the West Woods, and one colonel described him as a "gallant officer ... remarkably cool and at the very front of battle."[3] He was wounded when an artillery shell exploded near his horse, throwing him to the ground in a violent fall. He received a brevet promotion to lieutenant colonel in the regular army for his actions at Antietam and was promoted in March 1863 to major general of volunteers, to rank from November 29, 1862.[7] At Fredericksburg in December 1862, his division mostly sat idle. During the winter, the I Corps was reorganized and Doubleday assumed command of the 3rd Division. At Chancellorsville in May 1863, the division was kept in reserve
At the start of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, Doubleday's division was the second infantry division on the field to reinforce the cavalry division of Brigadier General John Buford. When his corps commander, Major General John F. Reynolds, was killed very early in the fighting, Doubleday found himself in command of the corps at 10:50 am. His men fought well in the morning, putting up a stout resistance, but as overwhelming Confederate forces massed against them, their line eventually broke and they retreated back through the town of Gettysburg to the relative safety of Cemetery Hill south of town. It was Doubleday's finest performance during the war, five hours leading 9,500 men against ten Confederate brigades that numbered more than 16,000. Seven of those brigades sustained casualties that ranged from 35 to 50 percent, indicating the ferocity of the Union defense. On Cemetery Hill, however, the I Corps could muster only a third of its men as effective for duty, and the corps was essentially destroyed as a combat force for the rest of the battle; it would be decommissioned in March 1864, its surviving units combined into other corps.[3]
On July 2, 1863, Army of the Potomac commander Maj. Gen. George G. Meade replaced Doubleday with Major General John Newton, a more junior officer from another corps. The ostensible reason was a false report by XI Corps commander Major General Oliver O. Howard that Doubleday's corps broke first, causing the entire Union line to collapse, but Meade also had a long history of disdain for Doubleday's combat effectiveness, dating back to South Mountain. Doubleday was humiliated by this snub and held a lasting grudge against Meade, but he returned to division command and fought well for the remainder of the battle.[3] He was wounded in the neck on the second day of Gettysburg and received a brevet promotion to colonel in the regular army for his service.[4] He formally requested reinstatement as I Corps commander, but Meade refused, and Doubleday left Gettysburg on July 7 for Washington.[8]
Doubleday's indecision as a commander in the war resulted in his uncomplimentary nickname "Forty-Eight Hours
Doubleday assumed administrative duties in the defenses of Washington, D.C., where he was in charge of courts martial, which gave him legal experience that he used after the war. His only return to combat was directing a portion of the defenses against the attack by Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early in the Valley Campaigns of 1864. Also while in Washington, Doubleday testified against George Meade at the United States Congress Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, criticizing him harshly over his conduct of the Battle of Gettysburg.[2] While in Washington, Doubleday remained a loyal Republican and staunch supporter of President Abraham Lincoln. Doubleday rode with Lincoln on the train to Gettysburg for the Gettysburg Address and Col. and Mrs. Doubleday attended events with Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln in Washington.
After the Civil War, Doubleday mustered out of the volunteer service on August 24, 1865, reverted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and became the colonel of the 35th U.S. Infantry in September 1867. He was stationed in San Francisco from 1869 through 1871 and he took out a patent for the cable car railway that still runs there, receiving a charter for its operation, but signing away his rights when he was reassigned. In 1871 he commanded the24th U.S. Infantry, an all African-American regiment with headquarters at Fort McKavett, Texas.[5] He retired in 1873.
In the 1870s, he was listed in the New York business directory as lawyer.
Doubleday spent much of his time writing. He published two important works on the Civil War: Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie (1876), and_Chancellorsville and Gettysburg_ (1882), the latter being a volume of the series Campaigns of the Civil War
In the summer of 1878 Doubleday lived in Mendham, New Jersey, and became a prominent member of the Theosophical Society. When two of the founders of that society, Helena Blavatsky andHenry Steel Olcott, moved to India at the end of that year, he was constituted as the president of the American body. Another prominent member was Thomas A. Edison

During my stay at the Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa, I ate and enjoyed several meals at amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE.

I was fortunate to enjoy several meals at AMUSE during my stay at Casa Moderna. My first meal, on Thursday, was from the lunch menu. I ordered the Boneless half organic chicken, Roasted with grilled Okinawa sweet potato, glazed Brussels sprouts, sherry and thyme sauce.
The chicken and the purple Okinawa sweet potatoes were delicious. I felt the Brussels sprouts were undercooked. The apple sauce was fine. The boneless half organic chicken had a real wonderful grilled flavor to it. The sherry and thyme sauce was really delicious as well. The Okinawa sweet potatoes added visual pleasure to the plate and were also very tasty. Additionally, a chicken stock, heavy crème, demi-glaze on a reduction with salt and pepper gravy was served. It too was delicious.
Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa's Executive Chef uses a seasoned palate to produce unique and enthralling Small Plates, Not So Small Plates and Sweet Plates featuring the freshest ingredients and most flavorful cuisine in all of Miami. amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE reflects the unique creativity and artistry of its surroundings.
My first night in Miami I had dinner at Casa Moderna amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE inside the Hotel. I ordered the sea scallops as an appetizer and I received one tea infused drink tea-forte cocktail infused tea in alcohol instead of in water and I got lavender citrus flavored. For the main entrée I ordered a 14oz New York Steak medium rare.
The cuisine is served exactly as detailed on the menu. The evening amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE menus are illuminated, like a florescent light, very subtle, very cool, very modern.
I was very pleased with my meal. The scallops were very good, very tender, cooked perfectly. The steak was one big chunk of meat, it was 14oz. It was very well flavored, the potatoes and string beans were delicious.
Located on the 3rd Floor of the Casa Moderna, Amuse is a sexy, sleek, and lively restaurant and lounge showcasing breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, Museum Park and American Airlines Arena.
While at amuse, don't miss the extensive selection of Signature Cocktails developed by Casa Moderna's in-house mixologist. Each selection delicately blends top-shelf liquors with fresh fruit juices and purees to energize and entertain the senses.
I enjoyed my dining experiences at Casa Moderna's amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was a delicious culinary experience.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Three female manatees have returned to Florida from two Ohio zoos in a rehabilitation program.
One manatee from the Cincinnati zoo and two from the Columbus zoo were flown to Florida this weekend. Officials billed it as the "Sea Cow Shuffle."
The Cincinnati manatee, Woodstock, and one of the Columbus manatees, named Wheezy, suffered cold stress and were rescued separately in January 2011. The third manatee, Pixie, was found alone in shallow water in July 2010.
The aquatic mammals may be released this winter in the Florida waters where they were rescued. For now, they're in the care of experts at Miami Seaquarium, SeaWorld Orlando and Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo.
The Ohio zoos will care for new manatees under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership.

Glenn Beck on the Boston Marathon bombing
This is a RUSH transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," April 25, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET!
O'REILLY: Thanks for staying with us. I'm Bill O'Reilly. In the "Personal Story" segment tonight, our pal, Glenn Beck reporting that a Saudi national in this country, on a student visa, should be under scrutiny in the Boston bombing case.
The 22-year-old was hurt in the bombing, treated in a Boston hospital. The situation was so intense that Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano addressed it.
JANET NAPOLITANO, SECRETARY, HOMELAND SECURITY: He was not on a watch list. What happened is, this student was in the -- really, when you -- in the wrong place at the wrong time.
He was never a subject. He was never even really a person of interest.
Because he was being interviewed, he was, at that point, put on a watch list. And then, when it was quickly determined he had nothing to do with the bombing, the watch listing status was removed.
O'REILLY: And joining us now from his studio here New York to refute the secretary, Glenn Beck.
GLENN BECK, FOX NEWS HOST: This is amazing, Bill. She first says he's not on a watch list, he wasn't even a person of interest, but we put him on the watch list -- but she just said didn't, because he was being interviewed.
So, in other words, she says we had no evidence. So it's her racism that put him on the no-fly list.
But not a watch list. That's not the same. His -- while she tries to play this down, his apartment was searched for nine hours.
His roommates were interviewed for five hours. He was given a designation of something called a 2123B. This is the front page of the document.
This was given to us by sources inside the administration. And we have about 10 sources on it. The problem is, the 2123B is not the no-fly list.
That is a terrorist designation of the highest order. What reporters are just taking the -- Janet Napolitano's word for it, why is beyond me.
But what they are missing is page two which they don't have. But our sources have given us. Page two also goes on to say he is armed and dangerous.
You don't put somebody on that. It takes two people to put you on the watch list, according to the Patriot Act. Armed and dangerous, in this watch list.
It says right here on the front that there is a second file on him. So, now, he's been a 2123B terrorist of the highest order. And it says in here, "Oh, by the way, there's another file."
Then, suddenly, after the president meets with the Saudis and then John Kerry meets with the Saudis, all of a sudden, he's not a person of interest. And somebody goes in and tries to delete this file.
They tried to get rid of all of the evidence. After "TheBlaze" reports it, they tried to get rid of all of it. One other thing, he comes in here with a VIP status. He has never been vetted before. Who is he.
O'REILLY: He has some connections to the Saudi royal family. All right, so look, they -- well, the bottom line is, you say that you suspect that he's a bad guy.
BECK: No, no, no. The federal government designated him --
O'REILLY: All right. And all that backup is on the "TheBlaze," right, at blaze.com.
BECK: Yes.
O'REILLY: And they say, he isn't a bad guy because, we thought he might have been, but we've investigated him and he isn't. Is there ever going to be any -- are we going to find out what the truth is.
BECK: Yes. There are six congressmen that are looking into it. It just requires some press that is willing to go along with us and look at it.
O'REILLY: Here we are, Beck. We're always willing to give you a hearing.
BECK: What we need it, Bill, we need journalists that are not going to give up. Why, if this guy is no big deal, why was this -- and our sources say, this has never been done before. To a 30-year vet, one of our sources, said, "I've been doing it 30 years. I've never seen anything like it."
What this says is, after "TheBlaze" started reporting this, I believe it was yesterday this was put out, if you go in and try to look at any of these documents, there's a warning, "You're breaking the law. You're not allowed to look at it unless you are right in and part of this investigation."
This -- well, according to our sources in law enforcement, this puts the wall back up that, really, was one of the problems that we tried to get rid off of September 11th.
They're hiding the Saudi connections. I don't know what they are. But who is this guy. Where is this guy.
O'REILLY: He's supposed to be a college student.
BECK: He didn't show up to his college.
O'REILLY: No, but they said that he transferred to Boston and he's in Boston now.
BECK: He didn't. There's no record of it. In his 2123B, it does not say that.
O'REILLY: No, I mean, this is new information.
BECK: And everybody is taking the word of Janet Napolitano and the DHS. That's like calling the Nixon White House and saying, "Are you sure there wasn't a break-in."
O'REILLY: All right. So you're skeptical of the secretary.
BECK: Skeptical might be an understatement.
O'REILLY: All right, Beck. Beck is in town. By the way, he's getting the Best Picture of the Year award from Robert De Niro, right.
BECK: No.
O'REILLY: Or something like that, tonight, the Tribeca Film Festival?
BECK: Tribeca Film Festival has awarded me the Disruptive Innovator of the Year award.
O'REILLY: Disruptive Innovator of the Year. I'd like that. Were there any other people nominated. I don't think so. It was just you, right.
BECK: No, you know what, the people who are disruptors in different things. I think Justin Bieber is giving one tomorrow, the guy who did "Gangnam Style."
O'REILLY: Oh, well, you're in good company there, Beck.
BECK: And me.
O'REILLY: All right. Check out "TheBlaze." It's a serious story.

Because pesticides must be applied yearly, they are best-used to protect high value trees or to keep individual ash alive until non-susceptible replacement trees are large enough to provide shade benefit.
A severely compromised ash tree, regardless of the cause of its poor condition, is not a good candidate for preventative or curative treatment.
Property owners should take the long term cost of prevention into account decide when deciding whether to use pesticides to protect their ash trees from EAB. Since ash trees must be treated every year for an indefinite period, the cost of chemical protection may quickly exceed the cost of removing and replacing them.
J. Ellis, Purdue
This ash tree, although not infested with EAB, suffers from site issues and is not a good choice for preventative treatment.
J. Ellis, Purdue
This EAB-infested ash tree is not a good candidate for treatment.
R. Lerner, Purdue
A healthy ash tree such as this is an excellent candidate for preventative treatments.
