For the never-beens, a rare shot at NCAA glory
By Erik Brady and Steve Berkowitz, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Why isn't American University America's Team?
Its colors are red, white and blue. It plays in the Patriot League. And its mascot is an eagle.
Here's the rub: AU has never put the madness in March. The Eagles are among the schools that have played NCAA Division I men's basketball the longest without making the national tournament. They've been at it since 1967.
Friday offers new hope: American plays Colgate at home in the conference tournament final (4:45 p.m. ET, ESPN2). The winner goes to the NCAA tournament.
"Now that we're here, we have to live in the moment," AU guard Garrison Carr says. "You don't know when the opportunity will come again."
The University of Hartford (in Division I since 1985) and University of Maryland-Baltimore County (since 1987) know the feeling. They're also among the longest-suffering without an NCAA appearance, a drought that will end for one of them Saturday when they meet in the America East championship game (noon ET, ESPN2).
Just 48 of 328 teams in Division I are never-beens, a mix of newbies (21 joined the division within the last decade) and oldies-but-not-goodies (five are originals in D-I, formed in 1947-48).
Qualifying for the 65-team field is a big deal to any school for the high spirits and national recognition it brings. But it means even more to a never-been.
Portland State got in for the first time by winning the Big Sky championship game Wednesday. Six other potential first-timers remained alive in conference tournament play going into games late Thursday night, including two top-seeded teams that have reached their conference semifinals, Morgan State in the Mid-Eastern Athletic and Stephen F. Austin in the Southland.
"I feel like an unknown guy on the PGA Tour who's in the final pairing at The Masters," Hartford coach Dan Leibovitz says. "You've got a great chance to win — and you know there are guys who've been on the Tour for 30 years, great players who've never quite gotten it done — and you wonder whether this is going to be your day."
If Friday is American's day, chances are it will be seeded 15th or 16th in one of the NCAA tournament's four 16-team regions. That means AU could play a first-round game against a member of college basketball's royalty, such as North Carolina or UCLA. A No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed. If such a day comes, that plucky underdog will become a national darling.
See? Maybe the Eagles are two wins from being America's Team.
"That's actually a crazy thought," Carr says. "I specifically remember looking at 16 seeds in the past and hoping, wishing that they knocked off the No. 1. Just hoping for the best for the — quote — little team."
"We have to cross that bridge when it comes," forward Brian Gilmore says. "Right now we have to worry about Colgate."
The Eagles have an immediate reason to worry — starting forward Bryce Simon tore a knee ligament in the semifinals — and a historical reason. They have reached the conference final three other times under coach Jeff Jones — in 2002, '03 and '04 — and lost close each game.
Jones got to the NCAA tournament 13 times at Virginia as coach, assistant coach and player, including runs to the Elite Eight (as coach) and Final Fours (as player and assistant). He says he doesn't tell his Eagles about any of that.
Nor does Jones tell them American has not been to the Big Dance. He doesn't have to.
More than a dozen reporters were at Bender Arena on Wednesday. Every one, Carr says, asked about the NCAA drought.
Jones says the question he always gets is: What would it mean to AU to go to the tournament?
"We can't spend time thinking about that," he says. "It's seductive to think about, great for the fans, great for the media. But we have to separate ourselves from that and play our best 40 minutes."
Ex-players bask in schools' glow
The Hartford-UMBC matchup is between teams that have never reached a conference final, never mind the NCAA tournament.
Hartford at least has had a few moments of national renown. Star forward Vin Baker was twice among the nation's top five scorers in the early 1990s and played 13 seasons in the NBA.
UMBC's connection to the NBA is Rick Moreland, a senior vice president for the Washington Wizards. He got calls from a dozen ex-teammates this week. "Guys I hadn't heard from in 10 or 12 years, at least," says Moreland (at UMBC 1979-83). "They're all coming out of the woodwork, puffing out their chests and walking around like they're somebody now."
Guard Rich Baker graduated from Hartford last year with a degree in marketing but had a season of eligibility remaining. He says he evaluated the roster, decided the Hawks had "a legitimate shot" to get to the NCAA tournament this year and returned to school.
The NCAA tournament is "the only reason I came back," Baker says. "The reason you play basketball is get into this tournament."
Unlike the power conferences, which get multiple at-large bids to the NCAA tournament, smaller conferences are mostly one-bid leagues. UMBC assistant coach Frankie Allen took Tennessee State to the NCAA tournament as its coach in 1993 as a winner-take-all Ohio Valley tournament champion. He repeated the feat in 1994 — and hasn't returned to the NCAAs.
"I've been telling the kids, 'You've got to make the most of your first opportunity' — especially at this level," Allen says.
The prospect of UMBC hosting Saturday's conference championship game seemed so remote that the Maryland high school girls basketball state semifinals and finals were booked into the Retriever Activities Center Arena this weekend, as usual. The schedule was rearranged to accommodate both the playoffs and the arena's first nationally televised game.
Three of the 35-year-old RAC Arena's six largest crowds have come in UMBC's last five regular-season games, including a record 3,712 for the finale against New Hampshire three weeks ago, when some fans were turned away.
"I've seen a lot of empty gyms," says Steve Levy, the athletics department's spokesman for 22 years. "It's really been great to see what the building looks like with a packed house."
Seeking local attention
America's Team? AU isn't even Washington's.
Georgetown and Maryland get the headlines here. George Washington and George Mason are next. American gets less notice locally than Virginia (two hours away) and Virginia Tech (five hours). It is roughly on par with conference foe Navy in the region and perhaps ahead of only Howard.
That's why AU was happy to have a half-dozen TV cameras at Wednesday's interview session. The last time more news media assembled here was in January, when Ted and Caroline Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama for president in Bender Arena.
"We're just glad the media is here for us this time," assistant director of athletics communications April Raynovich says as her colleague, Andy Chesebro, takes photos for next season's media guide of players giving mass interviews.
AU basketball hasn't gotten so much attention since December, when the Eagles beat Maryland for the first time in 80 years.
Forward Travis Lay grew up a Terrapins fan in Washington's Maryland suburbs: "I didn't pay any attention to American until they started recruiting me. It's so funny, on my recruiting trip I kept peeking my head around the corner" trying to see Maryland on TV.
Upsetting the Terrapins was better than rooting for them. "It was surreal," Lay says. "The (Maryland) arena was making so much noise, and we turned it to total silence."
That wasn't the biggest upset in American history. The Eagles beat No. 5 Georgetown and star center Patrick Ewing in 1982. The history of AU men's basketball has many high points — three trips to the NIT, 1973 All-America forward Kermit Washington, NCAA tournaments in Division II — just no trips to the Division I tournament.
AU President Neil Kerwin is one of the team's biggest fans. He rarely misses a game.
Kerwin tried out for the AU freshman team in the 1960s. He has spent most of his life at American as student, teacher, provost and president. He has seen it all, except you know what.
"I understand (the drought) is going to be a story line," Kerwin says. "Let's hope after Friday they can't talk to us about it anymore."
Where Eagles dare
A businessman is talking on the phone in an iconic cartoon from The New Yorker. "No, Thursday is out," he says. "How about never? Is never good for you?"
Never is not good for AU.
"We are a very good school, and good things happen here every day," athletics director Keith Gill says. "We will continue to be a very good school if we lose Friday. But it would be very nice to win."
Bender Arena is sold out for the first time this season. Alumni groups will watch in Los Angeles, New York, Denver and Boston.
The distance runners on the AU men's track team will watch in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where they have a meet this weekend.
The runners often paint their bodies on game days. Sunday they were joined by some of the women's soccer team for the semifinal win against Army.
As a product of a traditional basketball power at Virginia, AU's Jones knows some schools think of a berth in the NCAA tournament as a birthright.
"You can get spoiled," Jones says.
His players have been at American only a few years. They figure what went on here before has little to do with them. They want to go for the first time in their history.
What would it feel like to get in? The Eagles have one way to find out. As it happens, they don't care about being America's Team.
They would settle for being American's.

Wilson wins a tactical race at Castle Combe
Drivers' Championship closes up
The boost button was critical in today's second Visma Formula Palmer Audi Championship race at Castle Combe, with Stefan Wilson managing the conditions best to take his second win of the season.
The result puts him just three points behind second-place Luciano Bacheta in the drivers' championship and with seven rounds to go Wilson says his eyes are on the top prize.
"I want to beat Bridgman but he has quite a good points lead on me," said Wilson, brother of ChampCar World Series contender Justin Wilson. "Today has done my confidence a lot of good though."
The race was action-packed with three leaders over just ten laps. The first was Tom Bradshaw but his race ended in a collision involving Jolyon Palmer, which resulted in a red flag just two laps in.
"I got a really good start and was up to third, challenging for the lead," said Palmer, son of FPA creator and former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer. "I got to the apex of the first turn and was trying to get a good exit when I got an absolute smack from behind and that's all I know about it.
"I damaged my rear wing and my steering was out as well. I made the restart from the pitlane and got up to 16th but couldn't make the finish."
The second race leader was Tim Bridgman, who made the best restart following the red flag but says tactics cost him the win. "Basically I was just a bit slow on the boost," said the Laser Motor Company driver. "I came out of Camp and didn't boost and Stefan did. By the time I did it was a bit late."
Wilson then led for two laps before the red flag brought a premature end to the race after three cars came off at quarry.
"I had a good start before it was red flagged the first time," said Wilson. "I went straight into the lead but then on the restart I lost out to Bridgman and Clarke so I had to do it all again. I used my boost wisely and got past Jack and just as I was behind Bridgman it started to rain. I still managed to go around the outside into Quarry. After that, the rain got heavier but grip was still there and I kept pushing to the end."
Third spot went to Jack Clarke, who started the race from sixth on the grid. "From sixth I think it was my plan to try and get on the podium," said the JTB Racing driver, stepson of former F1 driver Julian Bailey. "Obviously once I was into second a win was on the cards but I was a bit trigger-happy with my boost on the first two laps."
"I've had four podiums in the last five races now so it's all going quite well."
Rounds 14 and 15 of the FPA championship will be at Oulton Park on 11 August.

Van the Man
Despite an elusive persona that's been described as gruff, irascible, and, lately, maybe a wee bit randy, Van Morrison has made musical moves that have always attracted notice. He seized the spotlight in the '60s when he fronted the Irish band Them and sang/snarled their standard, "Gloria." A prolific solo career birthed the cover band classic "Brown Eyed Girl"; landmark efforts such as Astral Weeks, Tupelo Honey, and Moondance; and nearly 40 other genre-shifting albums.
Still, his personal life remains a mystery. This past December, his website announced that at age 64, he was again a proud papa and that the mother was a longtime associate, Gigi Lee. Morrison later denied putting up the post, claiming his site had been hacked and he was still happily married to wife Michelle, a former Miss Ireland. His PR rep went so far as to claim that Van didn't even know Lee, although she's allegedly his road manager and intimately involved with, uh, his business interests.
When he's not sowing his seed, he's revisiting his roots, via live performances of Astral Weeks at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008, a series of recent reissues, and his latest studio set, Keep It Simple.

Founded as a blog about one curmudgeon's love affair with the em dash, Mechanical Forest Sound has grown to become a community-based archive of local musical culture. Assuming that "independent music" isn't just boys with guitars and "culture" isn't just some sort of pageant, MFS is an investigation of a wide range of artists, reflecting on concerts as shared experiences, acts of citizenship and a chance to get down — fuzzy photographs and clear-sounding original live recordings a specialty.
Current manifestations of this project include Track Could Bend, a monthly concert series featuring "improvised music and weird rock offshoots", presented in a casual environment.
At one point I wrote full-on concert reviews, and for longer I thought I would catch up and write about shows in the past. But these days, because of, y'know, life, do not expect much in the way of full show reviews — but live recordings with blurbs will be posted as quickly after the fact as is feasible.
Check out my original live recordings from many of the gigs discussed here.
You can also check out full sets uploaded to the Live Music Archive. [not currently active]
N.B.: All recordings should be available & playable. If you come across any broken links, invisible or non-functioning players, etc, please leave a comment and I will tend to it ASAP.
ALSO N.B.: I'm perpetually on the lookout for a new place to stash my MP3's online. If you know of any place that allows a couple gigs of stuff to be openly linked to for streaming, drop me a line!
All comments are welcome, or you can reach me at email@example.com.
All MP3's on this blog are audience recordings shared as a reminder of the excitement of seeing live music. If you are an artist who doesn't want their music shared in this way, please contact me and I shall remove it forthwith.

As a few of you are aware, I was overruled by a few women at my house and we ended up seeing Bridesmaids as our movie choice last night. While I would still consider it a romantic comedy, thanks to the influence of Judd Apatow (40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) it's more comedy than romance. In fact, the romance in the story is more of a footnote than the anything. The story's plot is set in motion by Annie's best friend Lillian being proposed to and ultimately getting married, but soon-to-be husband doesn't have a single line in the entire movie.
As for the cast, Mellisa McCarthy needs to be in more pictures. Kristen Wiig in the leading role is, surprisingly, capable of some great acting outside of silly characters on sketch comedy. Don Draper (Mad Men) is also memorable as complete dickhead booty-call. The rest of the supporting cast do well for the movie but were forgettable when compared to these three. Actually I hope McCarthy is in more movies after this because she is to Bridesmaids what Jonah Hill was to Superbad. Hilarious.
The movie goes between your normal rom-com slchup to absolute over-the-top hilarity. It dives a little bit deeper into women's comedy than previous Apatow ventures, but it still maintains the witty slapstick that Judd is known for. Personally, I'm not a fan of Romantic Comedies in general because I find them to be predictable, cliche, and bland, but this is one that deserves to be watched. I wouldn't recommend it over the new Hangover or X-Men, but if you've got a lady to please you'll get some laughs and it won't want to make you vomit.
And that's all we can really hope for.

text: Posted September 14, 2013 I wouldn't want to keep Rivera if we went 10-6, much less 6-10. He's had over 2 years and has shown us what were getting. The guy isn't cut out to be an NFL coach. He's flustered under pressure, he's clueless in decision making. Even if we win in spite of him, and it's very possible with the talent we have, he shouldn't be here next year. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miners drag on FTSE as investors wait for Greece
Miners led the FTSE 100 lower early on Tuesday after Glencore's merger with Xstrata received a mixed reaction and investors hung on for a resolution to the Greek debt deal.
London's blue chip index <.FTSE> was down 4.93 points or 0.1 percent at 5,887.27 by 8:49 a.m., hovering around six month highs after the index added about 3 percent in the previous week.
Technical indicators suggested the FTSE was due for a pause, with the relative strength index nearing overbought levels and a short-term range on the intraday charts being established between 5784.20 to 5901.10, an analyst said.
Monday's sell-off fell short of reaching this level, suggesting there is still room to the downside. A move into this zone would be considered corrective in nature. Since the main trend is up, bullish traders may decide to buy the dip, James Hyerczyk, analyst at Autochartist, said.
The pause in recent FTSE gains has come as Greek debt talks stall and the euro zone peripheral country tries to avoid a messy default.
Greek political leaders face crunch talks on Tuesday and a full package must be approved by the euro zone, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund before February 15 in order to complete legal procedures for a bond swap deal for a March 20 bond redemption.
Citigroup expects Greece to avoid disorderly default but raised the chances of a Greek euro area exit to 50 percent over the next 18 months, up from 25-30 percent.
Policymaker ability to contain exit fear contagion remains large. We continue to think that uncontained exit fear contagion would have grave implications for the rest of the euro area, the EU and the world at large, Citi said.
The sharp rally in the FTSE and the uncertainty lingering over Greece has led to a mini flight to quality and a small exit from riskier miners <.FTNMX1770>, which have led the UK benchmark index higher in 2012, up 21.4 percent in the year to date.
Glencore, the world's largest diversified commodities trading house, will issue 2.8 new shares for each Xstrata share, representing a 15.2 percent premium to Xstrata shareholders when some analysts had been calling for a 20 percent premium.
Glencore climbed 1.9 percent.
Retailers Marks & Spencer
There was no other domestic data due out on Tuesday.
On the upside, heavyweight BP
The company has marked a further milestone in its route back to relative normality, whilst the dividend outlook is promising, a London-based trader said.

The AARWBA All-American team is split into six categories of American racing voted on by the motorsports press. Besnard, the first U.S. F2000 driver to ever be nominated to the ballot, received enough votes to make the First Team in the At Large category. Second Team and Honorable Mention honors were also awarded.
Other First Teamers include: Open Wheel - Zanardi (FedEx CART Champion) and Kenny Brack (Pep Boys IRL Champion); Stock Car - Gordon (Winston Cup Champion) and Martin (Winston Cup Runner-Up); Road Racing - Butch Leitzinger (PSCR WSC Champion and USRRC Can-Am Runner-Up) and Paul Gentilozzi (BFGoodrich Tires Trans-Am Champion); Drag Racing - Force and Gary Scelzi (both NHRA Champions); Short Track - Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Busch Grand National Champion) and Ron Hornaday Jr. (Craftsman Trucks Champion); and At Large - Cristiano da Matta (Indy Lights Champion) and Besnard.
The top vote-getter on the First Team will be awarded the Jerry Titus Award -- the equivalent of College Football's Heisman Award for American motor sports. The Titus Award will be kept secret until the AARWBA All-American banquet, January 16.
"I'm learning more and more about the All-American team and I have to say this is quite an honor," said Besnard. "That's some pretty good company to be with on the First Team. It would be unbelievable to be honored with the Jerry Titus award, but I'd have to say my money is on Zanardi. I really like some of the passes he pulled off this year."
Besnard re-wrote the U.S. F2000 record book this season, recording eight wins and eight poles, earning the most money and highest point total ever. He is currently weighing options for 1999, which include opportunities in the KOOL Toyota/Atlantic Championship, PPG-Dayton Indy Lights and Japanese Formula 3. The 21-year old Australian visited Texas Motor Speedway last Thursday, where his test with A.J. Foyt Enterprises' Indy Racing League team was rained out. The test will be rescheduled for a later date.
Besnard also plans to drive in the 1999 Rolex 24 At Daytona, but has yet to finalize any details.

Ultra wide-angle zoom lens designed specifically for degital use, featuring the best of PENTAX lens technology.
Providing focal lengths from 22mm to 35.5mm in the 35mm format, this is exclusively designed for digital imaging. Its image circle is optimized for an image sensor of the new PENTAX 645Z medium-format digital SLR camera, and a number of PENTAX-developed technologies including advanced lens coatings are incorporated, to deliver super-high-resolution images made possible only by medium-format digital SLR cameras.
First ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for use with medium-format digital SLR cameras
This zoom lens offers a zoom ratio of approximately 1.6 times to cover ultra-wide-angle to wide-angle ranges (for focal lengths of 22mm to 35.5mm in the 35mm, when mounted on a PENTAX 645Z or 645D camera body). With visual effects unique to wide-angle lenses, including exaggerated perspective and expanded depth-of-field, this lens can be used for a wide variety of scenes and subjects, such as sweeping landscapes and cramped rooms, adding more versatility to advanced medium-format digital SLR photography.
State-of-the-art optical design to optimize super-high-resolution images
Designed as the HD PENTAX DA-series model in the PENTAX 645 lens series, this lens's image circle is optimized for the image sensor of the PENTAX 645Z camera body. Its optics consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, including two high-performance aspherical elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, to enhance image resolution and brightness at edges, while minimizing various aberrations. Coupled with innovative lens coatings and an anti-reflective coating applied to the interior of the lens barrel, this lens is designed to bring out the best performance of medium-format digital SLR cameras.
HD Coating and Aero Bright Coating to optimize light transmittance and minimize reflection
This lens is treated with the high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating to optimize light transmittance and minimize reflection. This coating delivers sharp, clear images free of flare and ghost images, even under demanding lighting conditions such as backlight. By coupling this coating with the PENTAX-exclusive, high-grade Aero Bright Coating, this lens is designed to assure exceptionally high light transmittance and super-low refraction.
PENTAX-original, lens-installed SR mechanism
This lens incorporates the PENTAX-innovated SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism within the lens barrel. Since this mechanism effectively compensates for camera shake up to approximately 3.5 shutter steps, the user is assured of sharp, blur-free images even under conditions prone to camera shake, such as when handholding the camera at poorly lit locations without flash illumination, or when photographing sunset scenes. * In compliance with CIPA standard (f=45mm, using PENTAX 645Z/645D)
Dependable dustproof, weather-resistant construction
As the newest member of the AW (All Weather) series, this lens features a dependable dustproof, weather-resistant construction with 11 special seals to effectively prevent the intrusion of dust and water into the lens interior. By mounting this lens on the PENTAX 645Z camera body, the user is assured of a durable, reliable digital imaging system that performs superbly in demanding shooting settings ? even in rain or mist, or in locations prone to water splashes or spray.
Other features
SP (Super Protect) Coating applied to the front surface of the lens to effectively repel water and grease
Rounded diaphragm to produce a smooth, beautiful bokeh (out-of-focus rendition), while minimizing the streaking effect of point light sources
Smooth, quiet autofocus operation driven by a built-in DC motor
Quick-Shift Focus system for instant switching to manual-focus operation after the subject is captured in focus by the camera's AF system
Various filters such as the C-PL (circular polarizing) filter can be attached to the front lens - a very unique feature for a wide-angle lens.

Easy To Make Lego Home Craft
I believe there are some of us out there who have a collection of Lego bricks stashed in a store-room or at a dark corner somewhere in the house. Instead of wasting the space to store these unused Lego bricks, why not use them to build some useful home furniture? Evil Mad Scientist found some ideas.
I think that using Lego bricks by incorporating them into home furnishings is a pretty cool idea. Another simple item that I can think of would be a remote control holder. Perfect for couch potatoes.

Recipe by Kats Mom
From her cookbook: Dolly's Dixie Fixings.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lemons, quartered
- 1 head garlic, whole head, quartered
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 dashes Tabasco sauce
- salt
- pepper
- 6 small Red Bliss potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 lb kielbasa (precooked variety) or 1 lb chorizo sausage, sliced (precooked variety)
- 4 small white onions, peeled and quartered
- 2 ears corn, shucked and silk removed
- 1 lb raw shrimp, shell-on
- melted butter (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring a large kettle of water to a boil. If you're making enough for 8 people, about 5 quarts of water will work.
- Squeeze the lemons into the water and add the rinds, the garlic, bay leaves, Old Bay Seasoning, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes to the pot, raise the heat, and return to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are not quite trender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the sausage and onions and return the pot to a boil.
- When the potatoes are almost fork-tender, add the corn and return to a boil.
- Add the shrimp and cook just 2 minutes until the shrimp turn pink.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of the broth per person into a heatproof pitcher and drain the rest through a large colander, discarding the liquid and the bay leaves.
- Pour the reserved broth into a few bowls to set on the table for dipping.
- Arrange the shrimp, sausages, and vegetables on a large platter.
- Serve with melted butter, if desired.

Hermann von Aiger is a member of The Royal Bavarian Hunting Lodge.
He owns one of the countrys largest butchering plants and breweriea in Munich thus he applies the clubs philosophy to the love of food and drink.Von Aiger wanting to see Von Zell leave and start his own club introduced him to Grossberg as he was no longer Von Glowers pet anymore.Von Zell as a banker was going to help him with his debts and thus got him to get access to Grossberg.He admits to hearing the sounds of wild wolves around the Bavarian National Forest despite the fact that they are extinct in the area.
Behind the scenesEdit
The name Hermann von Aigner originates in the character glossary in the back of the The Beast Within: Official Player's Guide. Somewhat ironically, while the barons von Glower and von Zell are played respectively by Polish and American actors, Aigner is played by a genuine Austrian baron, Clement Georg Freiherr von und zu Franckenstein.

Angels infielder Howie Kendrick has been a contributor in the team's lineup since his promotion to the big leagues in mid-season 2006. But the team has been waiting for him to become the complete offensive player it thinks he can be.
Early indications this season are that his time might have come.
After a torrid spring in which Kendrick seemed to hit everything hard, the second baseman is off to a hot start. Through the first six games, Kendrick is batting .417 (10-for-24) with five extra-base hits (a double, a triple and three home runs) and seven runs.
"It just comes down to having more at-bats and more playing time," said Kendrick who set career highs in several categories last season even while slumping to a career-low .279 batting average. "You understand the game more the more games you play. You get in certain situations and you don't really panic as much.
"I would say I'm a better player than I was last year."
Manager Mike Scioscia had planned to bat Kendrick sixth this season, add some length to the Angels' lineup behind an anticipated middle group of Torii Hunter, Kendrys Morales and Vernon Wells. With Morales still unavailable due to his slow recovery from last year's broken ankle, Scioscia had to rethink his lineup. Bobby Abreu moved down from No. 2 to No. 3, and Scioscia turned to Kendrick in a "table-setting role" as the No. 2 hitter.
The Angels tried this once before. In 2009, Kendrick started the season batting second but was a poor fit, slumped badly and wound up back in the minors at midseason.
A more mature hitter now, Kendrick has even walked five times in the first six games (four in the two-game series at Tampa Bay), boosting his on-base percentage to .517. The free-swinging Kendrick has never walked more than 28 times in any season in the major leagues or minors.

Wilmington Friends School is a preschool-12th grade, Quaker school, in Wilmington, Delaware. Today, the school is just above 7% Quaker. At Friends, global education encompasses signature international programs (International Baccalaureate, inter-divisional Chinese, School Year Abroad) and an overall approach that teaches students to engage complex issues intellectually and in action, in and outside of the classroom, with a sense of confidence and responsibility. The school was founded in 1748 by members of the Wilmington Monthly Meeting of Friends (Quakers).[1]
Wilmington Friends School originally aimed to provide education for children belonging to the Society of Friends and to poor children, whatever their race, religion, or family's financial circumstance. Delaware historian Benjamin Ferris wrote in the 19th century "Thousands of children have there received the first rudiments of an English education."[2]
As Delaware started offering public education, the School moved toward its current all college-preparatory program. In 1937, the Friends School moved from its original site to its current location in Alapocas, just outside the city.
Wilmington Friends School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools,[3] and is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization[4] and School Year Abroad.[5] Friends integrates global perspective throughout its curriculum, and emphasizes athletics, the arts, and service as integral to the program of studies.
Notable alumni include James A. Bayard, Louis McLane, Caesar A. Rodney.[6]

In these post-bailout days, I wonder if a car like the Plymouth Prowler will ever again be built by a major manufacturer. The Prowler said that anything was possible, and that Chrysler was all about exploring niche markets as they had with the Viper. Today, with public scrutiny at an all-time high and with auto executives needing to justify every decision to a panel of completely unqualified politicians, it's highly unlikely that such a remarkable car will ever be built again. With that in mind, it's a sure-fire bet that future collectors will prize the Prowler, and even today we're starting to see prices creep upwards which suggests that it's already happening. In addition, RK Motors Charlotte has sold every low-mileage Prowler we've ever had, usually within days of listing it. History is on the Prowler's side.
This 1999 Prowler is probably the one to buy if you're looking to the future. With just 1577 original miles, there are not many cars with lower mileage and we've probably sold all of them. Black on black is a classic combination that emphasizes the Prowler's hot rod roots, and could be a perfect blank canvas for future rodders, you never know. Today, however, the finish is like new, probably better, since there have been hours and hours invested in keeping it shiny and clean for the past twelve years. It has never seen rain, and storage has always been in a climate controlled garage. As a largely hand-assembled vehicle, Prowlers typically show above-average build quality and paint finish, and this one certainly looks better than most 1999 Chrysler products. The paint is remarkably smooth, panel gaps are excellent, and this retro-looking roadster seals up tighter than any '32 Ford roadster ever could. All the exposed suspension components, the plastic bumperettes, and the bicycle-style front fenders are in as-new condition.
There's not much chrome on the Prowler, but things like the faired-in headlights are crystal clear, and the Prowler script in the rear bumper has a cool red insert. The smooth-fitting tail lights are straight out of the hot rodder's playbook, while the exposed suspension cradle visible underneath is clearly intended to be a design element. A single, small Plymouth badge featuring the famous schooner ship mascot is the only real brand identity on the entire car, simply because the entire car IS the brand identifier. There's just nothing else like a Prowler.
Mechanically, this is a new car in just about every possible way. I'm sure it's had an oil change, but beyond that, everything is fresh out of the box. Inspection reports from the State of Ohio E-Check suggest that the car has been properly maintained and even driven occasionally to keep everything in top operating condition. It features the second generation Chrysler 3.5L SOHC 24 valve V6 that puts out 253 horsepower and 255 pounds of torque, which moves the relatively lightweight Prowler with real authority. The 4-speed automatic transmission features "AutoStick" which is a manual gear change feature that is more toy than functional performance improvement, but it fits the Prowler's persona perfectly. Heck, far more "real" hot rods are built today with automatics than stick shifts, so who can blame Chrysler for doing their homework and giving the public what it wants? The engine even has a rowdy, throaty exhaust note coming from two fat chrome pipes out back. For a bit of flash, this Prowler also carries optional chrome plated wheels (which cost an extra $1000) wearing its original 225/45/17 front and massive 295/40/20 rear Goodyear tires.
The Prowler's driver and passenger will welcome the very nicely shaped black leather bucket seats. The windows and locks are power, and the superb, 320-watt, seven speaker sound system comes standard with a six disc CD player located behind the passenger seat. Buttons located on the backside of the steering wheel can control the sound system while the cruise control switches are located on the front side. The dash offers a center-mounted 150 mph speedo with four smaller ancillary gauges, the voltmeter and oil pressure gauge to the left and fuel and temp gauge to the right, all in a gloss black panel that is a great tribute to vintage hot rods of all kinds. The designers got a lot of the details exactly right on this car, and I can't think of a better homage to the American hot rod than this. The black canvas convertible top fits snugly and is absolutely like new.
According to the original window sticker, the retail price on this Prowler was $42,000.00, reflecting the base price of $40,000 and just two options. The Chrome 17×7.5 front and 20×10 rear wheels were $1000, and the Prowler Black Clear Coat was another $1000, but everything else was standard equipment. Other documentation includes an original factory Prowler brochure, the original books and manuals (which are still sealed in plastic wrap), the original sound system CD, original dealer paperwork, and those Ohio Emissions Test papers I mentioned earlier.
Prowlers are only going to get more expensive from here on out, it's almost a certainty. They're an interesting footnote to a cool period in automotive history when Chrysler was really feeling bold, and their swagger was reflected in the product. And all of this completely overlooks the fact that the Prowler is a pretty darned fun car to drive. A 2-seat convertible with a sporty V6 and looks that get more attention than Scarlett Johanssen—what's not to love? Bad, black, and beautiful, this Prowler deserves a place in the best Mopar collections. Call today!

USD Dollar (USD), Daily Review, July 26th 2010
The Dollar finished last week with a mixed trend against the majors as investors ignore fundamental guidance, which puts pressure on the Dollar, in favor of waiting for the bigger picture to become clearer. Economic data and earnings for the past week were unpleasing, but as risk factors around the world grow, speculations on the currency's trend grow as well. NASDAQ and Dow Jones rose by 1.05% and 0.99% respectively, crude oil declined by 0.48% closing at 78.84$ a barrel, Gold (XAU) declined by 0.48% as well, closing at 1188.85$ an ounce. Today, New Home Sales data is expected at 317K vs. 300K previous.

A new downtown restaurant, Ciao Mambo, coming to the Lincoln Plaza building
A Montana company plans to open a Ciao Mambo restaurant in the ground level corner of the Lincoln Plaza building, a Spokane development firm announced Monday.
The new restaurant, part of the Glacier Restaurant Group based in Whitefish, Mont., will open in January. It's expected to hire 75 workers, a company spokesman said.
Goodale & Barbieri Co. President Tom Barbieri said his group spent roughly two years finding the right lessee to take over the 4,000-square-foot corner spot of the nine-level building, at the corner of Riverside and Lincoln in downtown Spokane.
The Italian restaurant and lounge will use about 1,200-square feet in the outdoor plaza, Barbieri added.
Barbieri said the challenge was locating a firm with the needed management experience and financial stability to run a restaurant in that building.
"We either had people with enough capitalization but no experience running restaurants. Or people with experience who weren't capitalized," he said.
Cory Barbieri handled the transaction.
Ciao Mambo has several restaurants in Montana and one, according to its website, in Hayden.
The founder of Glacier Restaurant Group, William Foley II, is no stranger to the Inland Northwest. Earlier this year Foley's company, Fidelity National Timber Resources Inc., acquired some of the interest in a promissory note covering Black Rock North, the exclusive private golf club overlooking Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Foley also has worked several other major Northwest deals, including gaining controlling interest of Whitefish Mountain Resort.
Barbieri said the new restaurant will offer a lunch and dinner menu. Parking will be available at the building's 200-space underground garage."This brings our building to 97 percent occupancy," said Barbieri.
Barbieri is owner and manager of building owner Lincoln Plaza LLC. The building was purchased from a subsidiary of Red Lion Hotels in 2007.
The downstairs corner, once filled by Lincoln Savings and Loan Bank, was later taken over by Washington Mutual Bank. Washington Mutual moved out several years ago and before the current owner group bought the building, said Barbieri.

Ma Ying-jeou's four years as President of Taiwan have been the calmest the island has seen in its awkward existence as the "other" China. After more than six decades of hostility, he and Chinese President Hu Jintao have brought détente to the Taiwan Strait, along with a flood of new trade and tourists.
More than two million mainland Chinese arrived here last year, visiting long-forbidden sights such as the memorial to Taiwan's founder, Chiang Kai-shek, and snapping up sales at the iconic Taipei 101 shopping tower. The money spent by mainlanders helped Taiwan rebound from the 2008 economic crisis. But will the cash stop flowing if Taiwanese signal they still see themselves as a sovereign entity?
That's the question at the centre of a hotly disputed election Saturday that will either give Mr. Ma and his Nationalist (Kuomintang) Party another term to pursue what he calls "normalization" with the mainland – or see Taiwan's 23 million people take a long step away from the People's Republic, and perhaps back toward the old showdown with Beijing.
Mr. Ma and his chief rival, Tsai Ing-wen of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, were locked in a virtual tie in the last published polls. The votes of a few thousand Taiwanese could well decide whether it's four more years of rapprochement, or a new era of tension across the Strait. The situation is so rare that it has brought rivals Beijing and Washington – which is committed to the military defence of Taiwan – to the same side, pulling for Mr. Ma and stability.
The election has been calm by Taiwanese standards, but the stakes remain unmistakably high. A faceoff between China and a DPP government would complicate a regional picture already coloured by the death of Kim Jong-il in North Korea and the ascendance of reform movements across Southeast Asia that have brought the rivalry between China and the United States into sharper detail.
"The outcome of this election will have an impact on China-Taiwan relations. For the past four years, we have eased the tension," Mr. Ma said in a news conference Thursday at his party's headquarters in Taipei. "You don't want to provoke China like the previous administration [which was headed by the DPP] did for eight years. That will not bring any good to Taiwan."
The implication – that if Ms. Tsai wins the vote, all bets are off – was reinforced by an editorial in the Global Times, a Beijing newspaper closely affiliated with the Communist Party leadership. "Ma is likely to be the winner, but if the DPP were nonetheless to manage a return to power, a long hangover would follow," it read.
The progress made under Mr. Ma's leadership has been swift and unexpected. After his election in 2008, he accepted a long-standing proposal from the Communist leadership to restore the so-called "Three Links" – air, shipping and mail – between the two sides. There are now hundreds of direct flights between Taiwan and the mainland.
More controversial, Mr. Ma's government in 2010 signed the Economic Co-operation Framework Agreement – a preferential trade deal better known as ECFA – that has contributed to a dramatic increase in cross-strait trade. Critics, however, say Taiwan (which has full diplomatic relations with just 22 states, plus the Vatican) has been made more reliant than ever on its long-time enemy.
When Taiwan was hit hard by the 2008 financial crisis, many here blamed the changing relationship with the mainland for the struggles of their own economy.
"ECFA and the Three Links just help businesses transfer money and jobs to China while the number of jobless in Taiwan increases," said Tsai Guangming, a 50-year-old labourer who lost his job at a machine parts factory when the company shuttered its Taiwan operations and moved to the mainland. He was waiting Thursday by an intersection in the northwestern city of Pingzhen for the chance to cheer Ms. Tsai as she drove through to shake hands with supporters.
"If Ma is re-elected, Taiwan will become Chinese. There will be no more Taiwanese," Mr. Tsai said, his voice rising to an angry shout.
Pollsters say that while many Taiwanese appreciate the calm Mr. Ma has brought to the relationship with Beijing, he's on shakier ground on the economic front. While Taiwan rebounded quickly from the last crisis to post strong growth in 2010 and 2011, the macroeconomic figures mask a widening income gap and an unemployment rate that remains higher than it was when he took office four years ago.
Ms. Tsai – who hopes to become Taiwan's first female president – has tried to seize on that by making the economy the main focus of her campaign. She's been aided by the entry of a third candidate, long-time KMT figure James Song, who is expected to finish a distant third but pull some votes away from Mr. Ma.
Mr. Ma is in a precarious position partly because of an error early in the campaign, when he mused about the possibility of a full-on peace treaty with Beijing some time in the next decade. It's a position he has back-pedalled away from, promising to hold a referendum before entering any political negotiations with Beijing. But it has already mobilized opponents who fear he intends to cut a grand bargain with Beijing that will forever kill the idea of Taiwan independence.
"It's very obvious that [Mr. Ma's mention of] the peace agreement has backfired among the public in Taiwan," said Tung Chen-yuan, director of the Centre for Prediction Markets at National Chengchi University in Taipei.
The Centre for Prediction Markets website, which tracks voter sentiment, had Mr. Ma leading comfortably until he raised the idea of a peace settlement. "Very few people believe Mainland China would make significant concessions to Taiwan on the sovereignty issue," Prof. Tung said. The centre's numbers now suggest an upset win for Ms. Tsai on Saturday.
Most other polls (which are notoriously partisan and unreliable here) have Mr. Ma eking out a narrow victory. His supporters say they're tired of being left to the margins of the international community, and appreciate his efforts to bring an end to Taiwan's isolation.
"Taiwan was an enclosed society before Mr. Ma began interacting with Beijing," said Li Meiping, a 58-year-old retired schoolteacher who attended a KMT rally Thursday in New Taipei City, on the outskirts of the capital. The direct air links established by Mr. Ma's government mean it's easier for Ms. Li to visit her relatives in China's Jiangsu province, where her father, a KMT soldier in the civil war, lived before fleeing to Taiwan in 1949.
