MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.- The Beach Ball Classic ran through its first round games and even a quarterfinal match up on Monday. One of the standouts was Memphis signee Jelan Kendrick.
Wheeler (Ga.) 81, St. Edward (Ohio) 75- First Round
Jelan Kendrick (2010, Wheeler, Memphis commitment)
23 points, 9-14 from the field, 0-2 from the arc, 5-6 from the line, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 turnovers, 2 blocks, 2 steals in 27 minutes
Despite playing most of the game in foul trouble, Kendrick was the dominant performer on the court. Serving as a primary ball handler along with Phil Taylor, Kendrick was also a stabilizing force on the boards, leading his team in rebounding against an opposing frontline with two 6-foot-10 post players. And when Wheeler needed a play on offense, Kendrick was usually the one to make it happen.
Phil Taylor (2010, Wheeler, Florida International commitment)
14 points, 4-10 from the field, 1-3 from the arc, 5-6 from the line, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 turnovers, 0 blocks, 3 steals in 32 minutes
Taylor's major contribution in the win was finding the hot shooting K.K. Simmons, who scored 19 points on 5-9 shooting from the arc.
Miles Hamilton (2012, St. Edward)
23 points, 9-16 from the field, 2-3 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 turnovers, 0 blocks, 1 steal in 22 minutes
An energetic shooting guard, Hamilton did all he could do to keep St. Edward in the game. Explosive enough to play against the athletic Wheeler line up, Hamilton got most of his buckets on slashing moves to the basket. He also led his team in rebounding.
Zach Price (2011, St. Edward, Louisville commitment)
8 points, 4-8 from the field, 0-0 from the arc, 0-1 from the line, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers, 1 block, 0 steals in 25 minutes
Immediately Price's length stands out. He looks a good 6-foot-10 with long arms and athleticism. The potential is there, but he is still working to utilize his length and athleticism. Offensively he is relegated to put backs and left-handed jump hooks at the rim. The lefty struggles mightily at this point to make any move turning to his left shoulder and has not developed physical moves yet to pressure the defense and get him to the foul line. Nonetheless, there is a lot of potential in this prospect.
Bishop Gorman (Nev.) 79, Bishop O'Connell (Va.) 61- First Round
Anson Winder (2010, Bishop Gorman, BYU commitment)
32 points, 11-15 from the field, 2-2 from the arc, 8-10 from the line, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 turnovers, 0 blocks, 3 steals in 31 minutes
Winder was the dominant performer in this game. Besides having a strong all around game for a shooting guard, Winder is also a physical athlete. He took advantage of mismatches inside, was constantly slashing to the basket, made the two three-pointers he took and led his team in rebounding.
John Loyd (2010, Bishop Gorman)
7 points, 3-10 from the field, 0-2 from the arc, 1-2 from the line, 1 rebound, 8 assists, 4 turnovers, 0 blocks, 3 steals in 31 minutes
Giving up quite a few inches to Bishop O'Connell point guard Kendall Marshall, Loyd did an admirable job limiting Marshall's penetration and scoring opportunities. He also played with poise on the offensive end, managing his team's offense and making sound decisions for the most part.
Rosco Allen (2012, Bishop Gorman)
16 points, 7-10 shooting, 2-3 from the arc, 0-0 from the line, 5 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 turnovers, 1 block, 0 steals in 18 minutes
A promising sophomore prospect, Allen is a good 6-foot-7 as a shooting guard. He utilizes his length to collect rebounds and loose balls and finishes the opportunities his size affords him around the rim. Allen has a feel for the game and European style to his play. Defense is a liability at this point, but, nonetheless, he registers as a no-brainer high major prospect.
Kendall Marshall (2010, Bishop O'Connell, North Carolina commitment)
14 points, 7-13 from the field, 0-0 from the arc, 0-1 from the line, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 turnovers, 0 blocks, 1 steal in 30 minutes
Marshall just doesn't have the shooters around him to maximize his penetrate and pitch skills. He is a situation where he must force the ball deeper than comfortable into the defense. Marshall finished a lot of these drives, but it was also the cause for a lot of his teammates. Primarily scoring off right to left spin moves in the lane, Marshall did not attempt a three-point shot throughout the game. Becoming a three-point shooting threat at North Carolina will be integral for his future success.
Columbia (Ga.) 64, Concord (S.C.) 61- Quarterfinals
Jarmal Reid (2012, Columbia)
9 points, 3-7 from the field, 0-0 from the arc, 3-5 from the line, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnover s, 0 blocks, 0 steals in 28 minutes
Reid is a definite 2012 high major prospect. He has good feet, great hands and plays with a strong motor as a combo forward prospect. When he got his touches, he was a handful to guard. Reid also showed promise from the perimeter on both ends of the basketball.
Chris Grier (2010, Columbia)
17 points, 7-10 from the field, 0-0 from the arc, 3-5 from the line, 9 rebounds, 0 assists, 4 turnovers, 0 blocks, 1 steal in 25 minutes
A hardnosed wing prospect, Grier kept Columbia in the game by grinding out tough plays around the basket, leading the game in scoring and rebounding. He's not a shooter, but he has the physical, competitive style of play that will help a low to mid-major team win games.
Jershon Cobb (2010, Columbia, Northwestern commitment)
12 points, 5-15 from the field, 1-2 from the arc, 1-3 from the line, 5 rebounds, 0 assists, 5 turnovers, 0 blocks, 1 steal in 26 minutes
Cobb, who is in need of developing more strength and toughness, never really asserted himself in this game. The skill and talent is there, but Cobb is too content to play soft at times.
Scott Co. (Ky.) 75, St. Frances (Md.) 64- First Round
Chad Jackson (2010, Scott Co.)
24 points, 7-9 from the field, 1-1 from the arc, 9-10 from the line, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 turnovers, 0 block, 1 steal in 24 minutes
Jackson used his physicality to advantage, coring most of his points in the low post.
Dakotah Euton (2010, Scott Co., Akron commitment)
12 points, 4-10 shooting, 1-3 from the arc, 3-3 from the line, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 turnovers, 1 block, 0 steals in 27 minutes
Euton can always be counted on to provide a top notch effort. What he lacks in athleticism, he makes up for in grit and determination.
Greg Lewis (2011, St. Frances)
18 points, 6-10 shooting, 0-0 from the arc, 6-6 from the line, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 turnovers, 1 block, 5 steals in 32 minutes
Lewis looks better every time we have seen him recently. He is aggressively pursuing the ball off the glass and showing an increasing confidence as a scorer with the ball in the low post. 6-6 from the line bodes well for the future as well.
Cedar Hill (Texas) 56, Mount St. Joseph (Md.) 53
Thomas Gipson (2011, Cedar Hill)
16 points, 6-9 from the field, 0-0 from the arc, 4-6 from the line, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 turnovers, 0 blocks, 0 steals in 30 minutes
A physical offensive presence in the low post, Gipson does a great job of getting his right shoulder into defenders and scoring with his dominant left hand. His patience with the basketball allows him to take full advantage of his physical strength. His four rebounds and zero blocked shots are indicators of where he has room for improvement.
Eric Atkins (2010, Mount St. Joseph, Notre Dame commitment)
18 points, 7-16 from the field, 1-3 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, 0 blocks, 3 steals in 32 minutes
The games leading scorer, Atkins is most impressive with his efficiency with the basketball as a playmaker. Put talent and shooters around this complete point guard, and he will thrive at Notre Dame.
J.L. Mann (S.C.) 76, Myrtle Beach (S.C.) 49- Consolation Bracket
Damien Leonard (2011, J.L. Mann)
26 points, 10-14 from the field, 6-10 from the arc, 0-0 from the line, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 turnovers, 0 blocks, 1 steal in 24 minutes
Leonard, the No. 14 ranked prospect in the Rivals150 for the class of 2011, was the story of this game. Myrtle Beach had no answer for Leonard's high release bombs from deep as Leonard registered as both the game's high scorer and rebounder. There is no doubt that Leonard's scoring will translate to the next level. The question is whether or not this high level shooter will develop the dribble drive game to get him some easy points from the free throw line. On the season he is averaging 23 points, six rebounds and five assists per game this season.
Recruiting News
Damien Leonard listed offers from Kentucky, Clemson, Texas, Kansas, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech and named these schools as the ones recruiting him the hardest. With visits to Clemson and Virginia Tech already under his belt, Leonard plans to visit Kentucky and Texas this spring.
Sophomore post player Charles Mitchell of Wheeler High School already has offers from Auburn, Clemson and Georgia and is receiving interest from Western Kentucky, North Carolina State and Georgia Tech. Mitchell noted that Auburn and Clemson are recruiting him the hardest.

Super Hockey Sunday Didn't Disappoint
February 22nd, 2010, 10:15 am
Three great matchups, three great games. Maybe the Sweden-Finland game was a shade under "great", but I'd still say the day lived up to its billing. And of course the story of the Olympics so far is the U.S. upset of Canada 5-3; it was yet another game where the Canadians vastly outshot their opponent and didn't win in regulation. They did the same against the Swiss, but Jonas Hiller had a great performance. They must be frustrated that the same thing happened last night against Ryan Miller. Gabe Desjardins had a great post that showed the out-and-out dominance the Canadians had over the Swiss, and here's a bit of a taste of that about last night's game.
What to say about last night? It seems to be a triumph of will vs. skill. Or maybe it was just superior goaltending giving the U.S. a chance to get some gritty goals and steal it. Either way, it was incredibly exciting. I'm still not sure if any of the American players would have made Team Canada if they were all magically transformed into Kraft-dinner eating, Celine Dion-loving Canucks, but somehow they won. Even if you take out the "Miracle On Ice 2" or whatever they are calling it, it was an extremely pivotal game for the Americans in terms of their medal chances. Given they won all three games in regulation and have the best goal differential, they have the easiest path through the tournament by far. Here's the bracket:
As we can see, Belarus will be our likely opponent in the quarters, with either the Finns or the Czechs a potential semifinal matchup. The U.S. will avoid the Canadians, Russians, and Swedes until the goal medal game. That's what I call a sweet bracket. While I still can't say we are the favorites to win gold, now I'd say that I'd be disappointed if the U.S. didn't medal. Actually, I'd say the silver is probably more likely than the bronze at this point. I like our chances vs. the Czechs over any of the Big 3.
Despite the major media coverage, I wouldn't say this game had any real "national significance". Unlikely 1980, there's no political ideology at stake, and no real underdog status here. One team made up of NHLers beat another team of NHLers. And while I'm happy the game was close and exciting, I don't hold much hope that casual watchers of the game last night will be converted into hockey fans. We didn't get an NHL ratings bump after Torino, and we won't see it this year either. Frankly, that's fine by me, because if hockey got popular, that might mean more NBC coverage. If I hear Ed Olczyk say "active stick" or "puck in the back of the net" one more type, I'm going to start wishing for more Mike Milbury, which will rip open the very fabric of space and time.

It's getting harder and harder to find a willing trading partner for Bargnani so this is my thinking.....yes we are taking on huge contracts next year but will be a great position to make some moves late next year with $22M in expiring between Okafor & Ariza.
Toronto in : Okafor (c) , Ariza (sf) , Seraphin (pf), Price (pg)
Toronto out : Bargnani , Kleiza , Gray , Lucas , Acy
Why? The obvious answer is to rid us of Bargnani and Kleiza , we receive a serviceable bug in Okafor who is still bringing in 9pt,9rb as well as a back up point guard in Price and a possible solution to our PF situation in Seraphin at least in the short term. YEs we are taking on huge money but when you consider we are getting 4 players who could play in the team dynamics compared to Bargs , Kleiza , Gray , Acy and Lucas and only cost us 4 million more then I say it may be the best deal , would rather have this and have the trade chips of the expiring contracts next year than bring in Boozer.
Dallas in: Bargnani , Kleiza
Dallas out : Kaman , Jones , James
Why? Dallas has said they would be willing to spend money and they may look at this as a pretty cheap chance at moulding Bargnani into a Nowitzki Lite , they basically give up nothing in the trade so why not?
Washington in : Gray , Lucas , Acy , Kaman , Jones , James
Washington out : Okafor , Ariza , Seraphin , Price
Why? Can you say 22M in salary savings next year as well as a big TPE in the trade. They give up some veteran presence with Ariza and Okafor but going into the summer they could cash in on a FA PF or C depending oh how they want to go . the players that they receive back in this trade are all basically trade fodder to get the salaries down.
With the added players for this year we try and make a run and see how we finish and next year , with no draft picks we will have to fill the holes with veteran min contracts but at this point I think that is all we were going to be able to do anyway.
After the trade we look like this
Lowry / Price
DeRozan / Ross / Anderson
Gay / Ariza / Fields
Amir / Seraphin
JV / Okafor
Is it the ideal option? no but its an option that rids us of Bargs a few serviceable players back so its not all bad but you be the judge......

Chad Marshall started his 240th career match last Saturday in the tilt against Toronto FC. Marshall, also a member of the 20,000 minutes club (21,382), became the 15th defender all-time to join a list of players that have made 240 or more career regular- season starts and recorded 20,000+ minutes of action. That list of 38 total field players features six active defenders. Marshall has made 20 starts this season for the Crew and leads that list of six active defenders as the only player that has averaged 20 or more starts in a season for 10 consecutive seasons. In fact, in his 10-year career, Marshall (to date) has averaged 24 starts a season -- all with the Black & Gold.
With back-to-back matches of two goals, Federico Higuain has made his way up the club's charts for multiple-goal games. In fact, Higuain's fourth multiple-goal game in 37 career matches ties him with Guillermo Barros Schelotto for sixth on the list as Schelotto had four multiple-goal games in 102 career games. Stern John leads all Crew players with 12 multiple goal games in just 55 contests and Pipa now trails Dante Washington's fifth-place spot by just a single multiple-goal game. Washington recorded five multiple-goal performances in 76 matches.
Danny O'Rourke is less than a match away from moving up the club's all-time list for regular-season minutes played. Entering this weekend, O'Rourke is eighth on the list with 12,074 minutes played for the Black & Gold, trailing Robert Warzycha by 75 minutes for seventh on the list. A 76-minute performance would give O'Rourke sole possession of the seven spot. In his nine-year career that included stops in San Jose (2005) and New York (2006), O'Rourke has recorded 15,524 career minutes of regular- season action in 185 appearances. He's still looking for that elusive first career goal, but has nine career assists.

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
Consider this British electronic duo's remarkable full-length debut stoned easy-listening. They use a sample-heavy approach to recontextualize a variety of schmaltzy horrors, combining and tweaking them into trippy and incredibly lush chillout grooves that lull you into thinking that maybe the Alan Parsons Project, Buffalo and the Captain and Tenille weren't so bad after all (just to name some of the folks sampled here, though they also blend in sweet soul classics from the Chi-Lites and others, underlining the subjectivity between "cool" and "uncool" source material). Equally pleasurable and disturbing, Silent Movie is one of the year's more distinctive records. 5/14/2008 - Don Yates

5 Reasons Summer Is The Perfect Time For MMG's 'Self-Made Vol. 3′ To Drop
For the third straight year, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Wale, and the rest of the Maybach Music Group label will be releasing a Self Made compilation album. Self Made Vol. 3—which will include the new song, "Poor Decisions," featuring Wale, Rick Ross, and Lupe Fiasco—is scheduled to hit stores on August 6. According to Ross, the album came about because of all the great music that the MMG artists have recorded so far in 2013. "A lot of times you'll get in the studio with your homey and collaborate on a record that may not necessarily fit with [your] body of work," he told MTV recently. "It's something…really super dope, but it's only [one] way you can present it—in a form like this."
It's right on time, too. With most of MMG's major releases scheduled to drop later this year, this summer is a great time for the label to hit us with Self Made Vol. 3. But that's not the only reason it makes sense for MMG to drop it. Here are 5 other reasons we're glad to hear that Self Made Vol. 3 will be hitting stores later this summer.

I dreamed about this kid, whom I don't know in real life. He was about 16 years old and he hung with the "rough crowd." I asked him about eating lunch. He said he wasn't hungry and would be fine. I knew he didn't have any money so I insisted he take some money from me. When I saw him next I asked him if he had eaten. He lied and said he had. I told him to quit lying. I knew he had bought cigarettes with my money. I gave him some more and told him to eat something! I knew he was probably pretty much on his own without much guidance and I was trying to keep him on track. What in the world could this be about? -Heidi 41, Fort Wayne, IN
Lauri: Just as you're trying to keep the kid on track in your dream, is there anything in your life that you are trying to keep on track or in line? Is there something you aren't doing that you should be? Is there an area of your life that you are trying to nurture but aren't having much luck? Anything you are trying to be more disciplined about? And just as the boy kept lying in the dream, is there anything you are lying to yourself about? The smoking reference may be a warning about falling back into bad habits in real life if you don't get things on track.
Heidi replies: I've been trying to keep my marriage in line. It is a constant struggle and we actually talked last night about the fact that we are constantly going and don't have a lot of date and connection time. So maybe that is it, keeping it fun and staying connected despite the chaos of life. It's also very true that I'm worried about falling back into old ruts, etc. Thank you!.

Mr. 1,000: Soriano reaches RBIs milestone with homer
By Mark Clements / MLB.com
The 14-year veteran was just two RBIs away from the 1,000 mark entering Saturday's doubleheader, and he reached the plateau in his first at-bat off Reds starter Johnny Cueto in Game 1.
With David DeJesus on first after being hit by a pitch, Soriano sent a 3-2 fastball into the stands in left field, becoming just the sixth player in MLB history to chalk up at least 1,000 RBIs, 400 doubles, 350 home runs and 250 stolen bases.
"I'm very proud, because not too many people can get 1,000 RBIs. It feels great," Soriano said. "I'm so proud to get 1,000 RBIs because most of my career I batted leadoff. So to have 1,000 RBIs, that's a lot for me. I'm very proud of myself."
The seven-time All-Star joins a class with Barry Bonds, Andre Dawson, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield as the only players to accomplish the feat, two of whom are in the Hall of Fame.
"I'm more than happy to be in that kind of group because those guys are Hall of Fame and they played this game for many, many years," Soriano said. "I'm very happy to be in that kind of group."
Soriano entered the game hitting .270 with three home runs and four RBIs in 40 plate appearances against Cueto, and the home run put Chicago ahead, 2-0, in the first inning.
The Cubs ended up falling to the Reds, 5-3, despite Soriano's 2-for-4 outing, but no loss on the schedule can diminish the accomplishments of Soriano's lofty career, one that includes seven All-Star selections, four Silver Slugger Awards and two World Series titles (1999 and 2000 with the Yankees).
"He's the whole package," said Cubs manager Dale Sveum. "He's one of six guys to do what he's done. When you can say only six people in the history of baseball have ever done it, you're in a select group. It's an incredible milestone to be one of those guys, let alone to get 1,000 RBIs. I was happy for him."
Cubs have much to play for down stretch
CINCINNATI -- It's easy to take the field each day with a positive attitude and max effort when the playoffs are just around the corner and a division crown is within reach.
But it's a different story for a club sitting 20-plus games below .500 during a rebuilding year.
So what do the Cubs use as their motivation each day?
"This is my job," said Alfonso Soriano. "I have to keep playing hard every day. I think of it as the first game of the season, not think about it like we're out or we have a bad record. I think about it as one game at a time and this is the first game of the season."
It's this type of mentality that has kept the Cubs going lately, in addition, of course, to the fact that a bright future may be in store for the organization, with the possible contract extensions of younger talents who are beginning to make names for themselves.
"I think it can be a big relief to players to just go out and play and not have to worry about an arbitration year, a platform year," said Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein. "Knowing they're going to be part of the leadership of the club for a long time, it can relax them and reinforce the leadership qualities and being the type of players you want others to look up to as a role model."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum said the rough patches of the season bring out the true character of the players. He added that the club assesses the intangibles of the team just as much as the numbers the players put up on the diamond.
"This time of year, you're not only evaluating their talent and ability to play in the big leagues, but you're evaluating their character and what they're bringing to the table every day when things aren't going well, and the adversities of the Major League game itself," Sveum said. "You're definitely evaluating the character of people as much as their play."

Hoosac defeats Lee; Pittsfield girls qualify for hoop tourney
LEE -- Emily Rosse scored 18 points and Hoosac Valley used an explosive third quarter to defeat Lee, 52-38 on Thursday night.

Eileen Dooley led the Wildcats with 18 points, while Meg Rodowicz had 14 for Hoosac.
PHS 49, E. Longmeadow 34
EAST LONGMEADOW -- The Generals (10-4) clinched a spot in the Western Massachusetts Division I tournament with the win.
"This is one step in the right direction," said PHS coach Joe Racicot. "To win one at their place is a big accomplishment."
The accomplishment was bigger because due to defense and foul trouble, Courtney McLaughlin was held to two points. But Dominique Satrape stepped up to score a game-high 22 for the Generals.
South Hadley 55,
McCann 28
NORTH ADAMS -- A hot-shooting South Hadley squad jumped out quickly and held off the Hornets.

For the Crusader girls, Aileen Archambault won the 500 freestyle.
W. Springfield 42,
Taconic 24
WEST SPRINGFIELD -- Taconic coach Matt Chamberlain said that he knew it would be tough with an undermanned squad, but the Braves acquitted themselves well.
"They're one of the top teams in the state," he said. "I was happy with the way we wrestled."
Every Taconic win was by pin. Travis Kuni needed only 14 seconds at 160 pounds to pin John Witman.

Miley Cyrus stepped out in platform sneakers and a crop top to run errands in LA yesterday. She also fit in a bit of tanning time, donning a bikini to soak in the sun with her dog Floyd and sharing "morning kisses" with the pup, which she documented on her Twitter account yesterday. The downtime for Miley comes before she's scheduled to take the stage for a big performance in NYC in two weeks. Miley has joined the performance lineup for MTV's Video Music Awards on Aug. 25, and she was not the only recent addition. Robin Thicke is also scheduled to perform his hit song of the Summer, "Blurred Lines," at the annual award show. Along with giving a live performance of her Summer jam, "We Can't Stop," Miley is nominated for the new socially voted award, best song of Summer.
Miley has had a bit of practice to gear up for her upcoming MTV VMA appearance, since she has become a fixture on the red carpet for the past two weeks. She stepped out in a risqué leather ensemble to take home honors for choice TV scene stealer for her cameo on Two and a Half Men and choice Summer song for "We Can't Stop" at Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards. Miley also showed her support for her fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, at his Paranoia premiere in NYC last week.

I found some more time between bringing the kids to bed and going to the Austrian Big Brother Awards [bigbrotherawards.at] to hack up a "average kwalitee over time"-chart. Which shows that average kwalitee went up 0.00145. Wow!
sqlite> select count(*) from kwalitee;
sqlite> select sum( kwalitee ) from kwalitee;
That's and average of 10.5 (out of a possible 13, so it's higher than I expected, but I didn't bother to calculate the standard deviation).
From last time, it looks
albook_brian[804]$ sqlite ~/File*/Kwa*/cpants-20041008.db
SQLite version 2.8.15
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> select count(*) from kwalitee;
sqlite> select sum( kwalitee ) from kwalitee;
Please keep in mind that both data generation and analysis is still very much in ALPHA stage. While I try hard to generate reasonable results, they might still be dodgy.
Hey, that sounds like a reasonable disclaimer I should stick to all CPANTS-pages...

"Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; / But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark."
"We are currently conducting an asbestos abatement. That should be complete within the next week, and we're hoping that demolition will be completed by mid-May."
"Construction costs continue to escalate, and there's no sign it's going to abate. An additional six or seven months of waiting to move forward with this project is going to continue to make those costs higher. The governor would like to continue having a discussion with the Legislature about moving forward as soon as we can."
"The enterprise zone abatement was a big incentive in getting this plant financed. Now at the end of the day, if they don't get it, would they build it? Maybe. But I can guarantee you it will never become a 100-million gallon plant, but maybe a 50-million gallon plant. I can also guarantee you that this will be the only thing that will come to this neck of the woods."

This is a great place to start in the bible!
11 out of 26 people found this helpful
the bible does not have a specific number of wise men, it is just assumed that there were 3. There could have been 2 and there could have been much more.
The starting claim that the two books "Luke" and "Acts" were originally a single volume is not vindicated from any archaeological source nor by quotes from other ancient Christian writers. The real reason behind claiming they were originally a single work is to try to excuse dating the books after the fall of the temple. the script of Acts ends in abruptly with Paul in Rome, and can be dated as AD62, over two years after Festus became governor of Judea and sent him there.
The dating of the books may be commonly stated to be past AD80,... Read more→

2758 Schaad Road, Knoxville TN 37921
They have several choices for gluten-free. Some stores have gluten free bread. They keep their book under the counter and its very complete. Its a great place to eat and the only place I can get a real sandwich! There salads are good too!

Order at the counter, carry out or eat in with delivery to table. Gluten sensitive menu is more explicit than the wall menu. Good food. Most of the employees were well informed. If counter person is new, ask to confirm with mgr or kitchen or get the gf menu. I'll definitely come back here!

This is about the Jefferson Pointe location. They think Celiac is big joke. Manager Louie took my order and could barely contain his disdain at my request my sandwich be made on a GF surface. After I paid he turned to girl making sandwiches and told her that the customer has a SERIOUS GLUTEN ALLERGY (with clear overexaggeration and sarcasm) and she laughed... but, oops, I was still standing there. Manager had to save face so he insisted they were joking about something else, then proceeded to tell me that he wasn't going to make his employees stop having fun at work. That is 100% their priority, not the customer.
8121 Pat Booker Rd, Live Oak, TX 78233
Food was good, though my roast beef on gluten free bread seemed to have less meat on it than my husbands ruben. The menu was marked for gluten sensitive, but none of the sandwiches were marked and there wasn't any indication on the menu that gluten free bread was an option. As a plus, they didn't charge extra for the gluten free bread. I wouldn't suggest coming at 2 on a Saturday afternoon because we waited over 20 minutes for our food, they seemed to be having trouble handling the rush they had.

I went here a while ago and I'm just writing the review now. The people were very nice and seem to know about gluten. I got the grilled cheese and chips with a lemonade. The grilled cheese came on GF bread and the chips were GF. When you ordered they brought out the chips that you could choose from (pretty sure they were all GF) But I wouldn't recommend eating here if you have Celiac or highly allergic to cross contamination. They brought out the gluten-free food on a serving table and it was touching other plates but I did not see the gluten free and non gluten free food touching each other like I said they seem to know about gluten free stuff but not cross contamination. I had no issues here!

The staff didn't really know what was gluten free and they didn't seem to want to help me. But the food I got was good.

100 South Creasy Lane, Ste. 1000, Lafayette IN 47905
Since I recently started a gluten free diet that you may have a great experience then come back to the exact same restaurant and have a total different experience. With that said I have only eaten here twice since going gluten free. The first time I stuck with a salad because I was in a time crunch and their online menu was difficult to use. You had to open each item to see if it contained gluten. The second time I called ahead and asked about sandwiches and they do have gluten free bread so I ordered a chicken sandwich. It was good but I was suspicious because they told me they used Udi's but this looked like regular bread and the container didn't have any markings to say it was gluten free. I ate cautiously but I didn't get sick. I was excited to find another place that I can order from in the future but I will probably double check to make sure I am getting gluten free when ordering and receiving my food.

The staff was knowledgeable about their gluten sensitivity menu and asked the person preparing the food to change his gloves. Had the spudmax. It was ok. Been here a couple of times and the spud was delicious but this time lacked toppings that gives it the flavor. Still, I'd come here again.
2330 S.E. Washington Blvd., Bartlesville OK 74006
We ordered a ham & cheese sandwich for my 8 yr. old on gluten free bread. I told the person who took our order that my daughter has Celiac Disease and asked for gloves to be changed, etc. She spoke to the manager. The sandwich came out toasted. I asked the kitchen about how the bread was toasted. They said in their toaster where they toast all of their bread. So, I had to tell them this was an issue. They made a new sandwich on gluten free bread, but the ham & cheese looked like it had been grilled in some way. At that point my daughter did not eat the sandwich. So we ordered the kids nachos and again explained the ways to avoid cross-contamination and again the manager was notified. Within 30 min. of eating, my daughter felt sick. So frustrating!!

I asked about their corn chips and was assured they were from a bag and were GF. Like an idiot, I didn't ask about the ingredients in their nacho meat and ordered the Ultimate Nachos. I have Dermatitis Herpetaformis and now have blisters on my arm (just the right one, for some strange reason). The flavor of the nachos was great, but not worth it. I didn't check their menu for GF items, which I almost always do. It was a last minute decision to go there and I should have known better. Don't order the Ultimate Nachos!

Mark DeRosa, who signed a three-year contract with the Cubs as a free agent before the season, became one of the club's most valuable players this year with his professional hitting and versatility. He's played six positions and hit everywhere in the lineup but leadoff. He finished the regular season batting .293 with 10 homers and 72 RBIs, including a .326 average with runners in scoring position. Despite moving around so much, DeRosa, who played a career-high 89 games at one position, second base, recently answered some questions from MLBPLAYERS.com.
MLBPLAYERS.com: You've started more than half the season at second base. It's the most you've started at one position in a season. Does that kind of stability help you?
DeRosa: Mentally, it's easier. I'd say that. You know your job, the task at hand, the fundamentals of your position. You don't have to keep replaying as much in your head as you do when you're playing different positions. I have a tendency to forget the bunt plays at third, what cutoff man to hit in the outfield. When you play one position, it's easier in that regard.
MLBPLAYERS.com: The way you've played all of these positions, and succeeded at each, it kind of redefines how a role player is thought of, isn't it?
DeRosa: I thought last year was big for me. Last year was my first opportunity to play every day and do well. I had a chance in Atlanta in '04, but I wasn't ready. Last year, Buck Showalter and the Rangers gave me a chance to move around and help the team, and that allowed me to come here. So I look at myself as an everyday utility-type guy. I tried for years to shed that label, because I think once you get labeled, it's tough to get rid of it. I've kind of gone with it now. As long as I'm in the lineup every day, I don't care where I'm playing.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Early on this season, your manager, Lou Piniella, kept moving everyone around, trying people in different positions, in different parts of the order. Was all that tinkering necessary to get to where the club is now?
DeRosa: I think it helps for guys knowing their role now. But I think there were reasons deeper than just him wanting to stabilize certain things. Cliff Floyd coming back, being healthy, [Alfonso] Soriano moving to left field, Jacque Jones, his second half has been huge so he's in the lineup every day. Whereas in the first half, he wasn't in the lineup, so guys were rotating around. There have been a lot of variables on how we've reached the lineup we've reached. I don't think it's just him wanting to stabilize the lineup. I'm sure every manager wants to do that, but it comes from other guys stepping up.
MLBPLAYERS.com Things haven't been too consistent this year, but it must feel great now?
DeRosa: It's why I decided to come here; the chance to play in one of the most unbelievable venues, in front of 40,000 people every day and the chance to play in the postseason. Talking to general manager Jim Hendry and knowing what he wanted to accomplish in the offseason, knowing that Lou was the manager and he wasn't going to come out of retirement and not have a chance at winning, I felt like this was a great place for me to go.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What do you think you learned playing for the Braves to start your career, with how they went about winning and make the playoffs every year?
DeRosa: The way they went about it. The way they believed in themselves and their ability, trusting the guy next to you. So many things come from what I learned over there from manager Bobby Cox, general manager John Schuerholz, on down the line from the players. They knew that they were going to get it done.
MLBPLAYERS.com: It's something that takes a long time, right?
DeRosa: It really does. When the rookies would come up, when I came up, when Jason Marquis came up, it's ingrained in your brain that you're going to win and other teams are going to find a way to lose and we're going to win. It's something that I've seen this team acquire over the course of a year. When you lose, it's almost fluky. Hopefully we continue to do the things we've been doing lately. I'd like to do them in a little less dramatic fashion than we're doing them. It's definitely been fun.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What's your favorite moment this year? Was it your game-winning hit last week?
DeRosa: Aramis Ramirez's walk-off home run against the Brewers [on June 29]. It's always a moment you're not a part of -- if I hit that, it would be my moment -- that for me, we were about 7 1/2 games back, they could've just buried us. And he steps up and hits a home run off "Coco" Cordero, who hadn't blown a save yet and they were looking unbeatable. It was a pretty big moment for us mentally.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Sports Illustrated did a "smartest player" poll. Where was your name? You're an Ivy League guy [who attended the University of Pennsylvania]?
DeRosa: Who won it?
MLBPLAYERS.com: Greg Maddux.
DeRosa: That's a scam ... Maddux (smiles).
MLBPLAYERS.com: Are you the best Ivy Leaguer in the game right now?
DeRosa: No, Chris Young (Princeton) for San Diego. You got Brad Ausmus (Dartmouth), too.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Who's the smartest Cub? Don't be afraid to say yourself.
DeRosa: I'm not. I'm not the smartest guy. I'm not going to say Sam Fuld (Stanford), he's been here for like two weeks. (Long pause, looks around the clubhouse.) There aren't a lot of smart guys in this clubhouse (smiles). I'll say Ted Lilly, but I don't have a reason why I'm saying that.

Beltre paces Rangers' offense against Angels
By William Boor / MLB.com
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Behind Kaleb Cowart and Garrett Richards, the Angels left their spring home on a high note with Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
Richards, a right-handed reliever, continued his strong Spring Training with 2 1/3 shutout innings. He allowed three hits, struck out two and lowered his spring ERA to 1.62.
Opposite Richards, Brad Mills turned in a solid outing for the Rangers. The left-hander began camp with the Angels and was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Sunday. In four innings, Mills allowed one run and four hits, while striking out three.
"He had good secondary stuff, he just needs to command his fastball better," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
The Rangers opened the scoring in the top of the third inning, when Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre delivered RBI hits off of Jerome Williams for a 2-0 lead.
The Angels scored three times in the sixth and also scored in the third and seventh innings.
Non-roster invitee Luis Rodriguez got the Angels on the board with an RBI double in the third, but Cowart had the big blow with a two-run go-ahead double in the sixth.
Cowart finished 2-for-2, while Beltre had two hits for the Rangers.
Ernesto Frieri pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for the Angels.
"That's the best [Frieri] has looked this Spring," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
Up next for the Rangers: The Rangers have a Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks on Thursday at 3:05 p.m. CT in Surprise, Ariz., and an exhibition game against the Mexico City Diablos at 7:05 p.m. CT that evening at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers' big league team will be at the Ballpark and Yu Darvish will pitch against the Diablos on MLB.TV. The Rangers defeated the Diablos, 13-4, last season. The game in Surprise will involve Minor Leaguers, with Jerad Eickhoff slated to start for the Rangers.

Chess Match: Timing relief proves difficult
Angels bit by Lackey removal; Yanks ride Burnett too long
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
Before the Angels finally hung on, both managers were faced with tough decisions throughout the late innings.
Removing the ace
The situation: Angels ace John Lackey had dominated the Yankees for most of the night, taking a shutout into the seventh. But New York finally got it going in the seventh. With the bases loaded and two outs, Mark Teixeira stepped to the plate. Lackey had thrown 104 pitches. Teixeira was a .382 hitter lifetime against Lackey, including postseason, with two homers and six RBIs.
The decision: Angels manager Mike Scioscia lifted Lackey and brought on veteran lefty Darren Oliver. Teixeira was 0-for-1 lifetime against Oliver with two walks.
The outcome: Teixeira pummeled a three-run double off the wall in left, setting in motion a six-run inning for the Yankees.
Analysis: "In making that move, I just with my heart said, 'Hey, leave John in.' My head said, 'Let's try to turn Tex around and get out of that inning right there,'" said Scioscia. "I think I just have a lot of confidence in John. He might have had enough to get in there and get Tex out, but I thought to turn him around at that point was the move. Obviously, it didn't work.
Scioscia finds relief from starter
The situation: Instead of letting the Yankees' comeback deflate them, the Angels put together one of their own, coming up with three runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a 7-6 lead.
The decision: For the top of the eighth, Scioscia brought on Jered Weaver, who started Game 3 just three days earlier and is slated to pitch Sunday night's Game 7, if there is one.
The outcome: Weaver mowed through the Yankees in a 1-2-3 eighth, striking out two, including Derek Jeter to end the inning.
Analysis: "It was a hair-pulling experience. They get you up, the nerves kick in a little bit," said Weaver. "After that, you find out that you're going into the game and you try to get in a zone and relax as much as possible."
Walking A-Rod
The situation: Angels closer Brian Fuentes had mowed through Johnny Damon and Teixeira and seemed en route to a fairly painless save in the bottom of the ninth. Up stepped Alex Rodriguez, who has tormented the Angels through this entire series.
The decision: For the second time in the series, Scioscia ordered up an intentional walk of A-Rod with no one on base.
The outcome: The Angels and Fuented survived, barely. Hideki Matsui drew a walk and Robinson Cano was hit by a pitch, loading the bases. On a 3-2 pitch, Fuentes at last got Nick Swisher on a popup to end the game and send the series back to New York.
Analysis: "Well, obviously, if they've got some action in front of us, you've got first and second, or a runner at first, we probably would not have [walked him], but in that situation, you just want to keep Alex in the park," Scioscia said. "Obviously, it got a little bit too congested at the end of the game, but, you know, we just felt it was better to take our chances with some of the lefties following him."
Burnett stays in
The situation: The Angels came out firing on all cylinders against Yankees right-hander A.J. Burnett, as the first five batters reached base and four runs came across.
The decision: Yankees manager Joe Girardi, rather than getting anyone warmed up, had faith that Burnett could regain his groove.
The outcome: Girardi was absolutely right. Burnett got a key double play off the bat of Juan Rivera to get out of the first with just the four runs. And he kept the Angels off the board until the seventh. The one thing Girardi might have second-guessed himself for was bringing Burnett back out for the seventh. He had to sit on the bench during a lengthy top of the seventh, when the Yankee scored six runs. Burnett gave up a hit and a walk to start the inning and then got the hook.
Analysis: "We talked about [taking him out before the seventh]," said Girardi. "But he was throwing the ball so well."

The Glock Advantage. The Pistols That Have Take American Law Enforcement by Storm! GLOCK pistols are the perfect combination of reliability and accuracy. Their high-tech engineering and construction create a handgun that can stand up to more punishment than even the most unforgiving conditions can generate. When you investigate the individual advantages of a GLOCK, you'll see that it will outperform whatever you're shooting now. "Safe-Action" System: The GLOCK pistol's Safe Action trigger system offers you several very distinct benefits over conventional trigger systems. First, you can choose from several trigger pulls. Second, the trigger is the one and only operative control. Third, is the smooth and consistent pull you feel every time you squeeze the trigger. It makes training much easier because each and every shot feels exactly the same. It also makes a firearm safe. Three Safeties: GLOCK pistols have three independent and automatic safeties. As the trigger is pulled they sequentially disengage, and as the pistol fires and the trigger returns to its forward position, they re-engage. The combination of the trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety make the GLOCK the safest pistol on the market. #G35 STD SIGHT - Glock G-35 - .40 Cal., 15 Shot Capacity, Standard Sights.

come from special bond issues if the a voters consent the administration specifies in detail the per manent public improvements to which the proceeds oi these special bond issues are to be applied yet as a matter of municipal history 1 the city has used portions of previous bond issues for current expenses Chicago is in the position of a corporation that has not even met current expenses out of current revenues under prudent management not only should the city's operating expenses such as salaries be paid out of current revenue but the city's physical upkeep also mainte nance repairs and depreciation ate all chargeable to current revenue bond issues by common consent should be reserved for capital out lay in permanent improvements yet the city's accounts show conclusively that a part at least of the proceeds of bond issues have been used to defray current ex penses not only has the city lived up to the last dollar of its ordinary income but it has had to draw on the proceeds of bond issues tar ordinary expenditures this means that future taxpayers must when these past bond issues fall due settle for the incompetence and ex travagance of former administrations where there are tangible im provements to show for these bond issues the case is different city's expenses increase ovejtjoo per gent it is pertinent also to note that in the last six years the cor porate expenses of the Chicago city government have increased more than 100 per cent during this six-year period ihe rf venues applicable to corporate uses have been more than doubled but this has been partly through the sale of bonds the city has barely made ends meet even though there has been a horizontal increase in taxation to meet increased expenditures in some years as i n 1904 the books closed with a net deficit since 1904 the annual increase of city expenditures over the year preceding has varied from 10 to more than 35 per cent the largest increase was that of 1907 over 1906 — when the present aciminis f ration came in in 1907 the expense jumped from 15,351,765.52 to 20,755,129.93 in 1908 the expense for operation and maintenance construction and betterments jumped to 23,016,505.05 tkis included appropriations from the water fund to help out the corporate fund and it did not include 543,263 9c paid out in judgments against the city going back to 1903 we find the expense of running the city gov ernment at 11,707,001.23 by 1908 therefore the expense practically doubled in 1908 alone — the second year of the busse administration — the budget carried under the heading corporate purposes appro priations for increased salaries amounting to 1,425,016.40 the increase in salary rolls from 1903 to 1908 was approxi mately 7,000,000 8,245 employes in 1903—12,872 in 1898 there were 8,245 employes on the corporate fund payroll in 1903 compared with 12,872 in 1908 when the increase over the preceding year was 1,138 the actual salary increase from 1903 to 1908 was 0,830,581.67 thus the increase to 1908 in salaries to city employes reached a total that was only slightly less than the total corporate payroll of five years before in the matter of general government — which eliminates the de partment of public safety and the department of public works there was an increase of more than 80 per cent in the number of em ployes between 1903 and 1908 in 1903 the salary roll for this branch of ithe government was 679,086.13 or 541,093.40 less than in the year 1908 the following table shows the increase of employes a»d salaries in the general government by years number of

mayor'3 office alone totaled 27,499.97 in 190s an increase of 5,108.30 over the preceding year in 1903 the salaries in the mayor's office aggregated 15,501.65 other increases are trace able to new employes for the committees on subway and local trans portation also the employes in the city treasurer's office appeared on the payroll first in 1907 before that they were paid out of the fees of the city treasurer's office fire department payrolls nearly doubled the department of public safety includes the health fire and lice departments it would not be strange if there should be a rmal increase here considering chicago's growth but like other sartments the increases are abnormal of late years the largest iu lases in salaries and number of employes are those connected th the police and fire departments the police revenues were increased about 3,500,000 yearly when oon licenses were raised to 1,000 a year that was in 1906 thu s large increase in the number of policemen on the force may be urged to the saloon license account but the fire department pay rolls were almost doubled in expense between 1903 and 1908 in the whole department of public safety the increases durin the period of

WASHINGTON–Susan Lund, research director at the McKinsey Global Institute, says the fourth-quarter contraction in the U.S. economy was "more of an accounting aberration than a long-term trend," but demonstrates that the economy could suffer if cutbacks in federal spending occur while the private sector remains weak.
Ms. Lund made the comments in an interview on WSJ.com's weekly Seib & Wessel video show. The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.1% annual rate in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.
"We got a big boost in the third-quarter GDP from military spending and then it contracted in the fourth quarter," she says. If reduced government spending becomes the norm, "it will be a drag on the economy. …What we've got to do is ensure that private consumption, the business investment, continues to be robust and strong enough to offset whatever spending cuts are coming."
But Ms. Lund, an economist, isn't pessimistic about the U.S. economy's long-run trajectory. "I do think it's possible to look forward and see the U.S. actually being the most robust advanced economy out there," she said.
Among the bright spots, she said, is energy, particularly shale oil and gas. "Part of what we've seen over this recession is that improvement in the U.S. trade deficit has come through fewer oil imports and that trend is expected to continue," she said.
But U.S. supremacy isn't guaranteed. "A lot of other advanced economies have made big strides in areas like infrastructure, logistics and supply chain, broadband access…and the U.S. has made much less progress."
A big worry, she added, is the decline in startups of new businesses, a key driver of employment. "They're down 23% since the recession," she said.
