Past with Rays still weighs on Hamilton's mind
By Jane Lee / MLB.com
But the Rangers' All-Star outfielder is still making amends for some of the consequential decisions he made along the way. For it's forgiveness that's eased his journey, one marked by alcohol and various drugs, all of which greatly impeded his big league career.
In the present, Hamilton is in his second playoff appearance in as many years with Texas, and he and his Rangers teammates are again faced with the task of sending home a Rays team that plucked Hamilton as the No. 1 pick in the 1999 First-Year Player Draft.
On Tuesday, he spoke in front of a handful of reporters from Tropicana Field, where just the night prior he stood in the outfield, in the middle of what Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux deemed the "nitty-gritty" of a nerve-racking 4-3 Texas win in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.
Hamilton's mind wandered, just as it had in 2001, when he began straying from back rehab to tend to what became an addiction of bad decisions that ultimately kept him off the field for three straight years.
"I was thinking about it in the outfield last night," the reigning AL MVP said. "With all of the stress and everything of that game yesterday, you know, thinking about and actually made some amends with trainers and with staff from the other side, from the Rays' side, because I don't think I ever had, as far as what I did and when I was here and my time. And they put a lot of time and effort into me, so just made an apology, a few yesterday."
Hamilton knows his repentant ways won't erase what's been done, or bring back what could have been. He wouldn't change a thing about his past, given the faith and hope he fostered along the way. But that doesn't mean he doesn't think about it.
"And thinking about it for the fans' aspect of it yesterday," he said, "they were all expecting to see me with the Rays in Tropicana, in the outfield. But it doesn't work out that way all the time.
"So you know what? Would I have liked to have done it? Absolutely. Did it happen? No. But I just have to do what I can with my team I am with now. But I enjoy coming back, and the whole newness and weird feeling is over with. You know, now it just feels like another stadium. But I enjoy seeing familiar faces in the stands."
Hamilton and the Rangers entered Tuesday just one win shy of another AL Championship Series appearance. He was named Most Valuable Player of that same series last year, when he hit .350 with four home runs and seven RBIs in six games against the Yankees.
Hamilton is the only Ranger to record a hit in the first three games of this year's ALDS, and his two-run single in Game 3 capped Texas' four-run seventh inning. It follows yet another remarkable regular season for Hamilton, who ended the year with a .298 average with 25 home runs and 94 RBIs despite missing nearly two months with a broken arm.
Hamilton sustained the injury when he made a head-first slide into home plate trying to score on a foul popup down the third-base line, marking his third disabled list stint in the last three years.
But Hamilton, of course, has endured greater pain in his life. He can take the bumps and the bruises, even the broken arms.
"When my body and my mind tell me maybe I shouldn't do that anymore, then I will probably slow down a little bit," Hamilton said. "I have no clue when that will be. Definitely not in the playoffs."

Sam Fielding: 2013 Fulbright Scholar
May 21, 2013
Program: International Environmental Policy
Undergrad: University of Puget Sound
Fast Fact: Sam was raised in Alaska and is very knowledgeable about musk ox and caribou
"MIIS is very interdisciplinary and you can pick your own path, so if you want to do a Fulbright, it's kind of easy to combine the two."
How do you quantify the benefit of ecosystems like coral reefs that usually don't get captured in the market? It's a complex question that Sam Fielding will study and attempt to answer as a Fulbright Scholar at Shandong University in China.
"People are only concerned with how much they have to pay from their own pockets at the expense of eco-systems," says Sam.
If ecosystems that are not usually accounted for economically speaking can be, then Sam believes those numbers can be incorporated and used to help stop some of the damage being done to the environment.
"Anything environmentally true in the world is usually much more so if found in China," says Sam, who will be working along the South China Sea. "I want to learn more about research in China and what they are doing there."
During his time at the Monterey Institute, Sam has taken advantage of the many immersive learning opportunities offered by the Institute. In addition to the Fulbright, Sam is also a part of the Center for the Blue Economy (CBE), which landed him a summer internship with the World Resources Institute in Washington, DC. He has also worked as a research assistant for the CBE.
"MIIS has lots of opportunities outside of the classroom to gain professional experience and internships," says Sam. "MIIS is very interdisciplinary and you can pick your own path, so if you want to do a Fulbright, it's kind of easy to combine the two."

San Clemente residents are asking the Orange County Transportation Authority to work with San Clemente High School and Shorecliffs Middle School on ways to minimize disruptions and hazards when the Avenida Pico interchange is rebuilt and expanded as part of a $275 million I-5 widening.
Demolition and reconstruction of an I-5 bridge over Pico is expected to begin in summer 2014 and take two years. Some residents who attended an OCTA meeting in San Clemente on Wednesday voiced concerns that the construction zone will affect students who walk or ride bikes along Pico to San Clemente High and children walking or biking to Shorecliffs Middle School over an Avenida Vista Hermosa bridge that crosses I-5.
San Clemente cycling/pedestrian advocate Brenda Miller said the Vista Hermosa crossing already is "a death trap for kids," forcing anyone heading toward Shorecliffs Middle School on a bicycle to negotiate swift traffic without a bike lane. Cyclists there also have to cross two free-flowing on-ramps in the path of rapid traffic.
Vista Hermosa could take on a bigger traffic role during the Pico interchange expansion if some motorists who normally use Pico as an I-5 access choose instead to use Vista Hermosa to avoid the Pico interchange.
Brian Lochrie, a project publicist for OCTA, said the agency is looking into a traffic-management plan and plans to meet with school officials and PTA leaders before work begins.
Parents will be able to sign up for alerts, participate in public meetings and learn more at back-to-school nights, Lochrie said.
OCTA project engineer Hamid Torkamanha said OCTA is talking with the California Department of Transportation to see whether safety improvements can be added at Vista Hermosa and I-5.
Vista Hermosa dead-ends just west of I-5 at the entrance to the 248-acre Marblehead Coastal development, which has been stalled since the financial collapse of 2008. Marblehead is starting to stir again under new management by Lehman Bros.
San Clemente's assistant city engineer, Tom Bonigut, said an extension of Vista Hermosa from I-5 across the development to Avenida Pico could open in 2014 – possibly before work begins on the Pico interchange and just in time to provide a new detour for motorists.
Some other points made Wednesday:
•The I-5 widening will add carpool lanes between San Clemente and San Juan Creek Road in San Juan Capistrano. The northbound carpool lane will begin just before Avenida Pico. Southbound, the carpool lane will end just before Avenida Palizada.
•The widening will be done mostly at night, leaving full access to I-5 lanes during the day.
•During construction of the Pico segment, Pico will be open during the day at full capacity. At night, lanes may be reduced.
•For two nights, Pico will be closed overnight for demolishing the bridge.
•Sound walls that will line the widened freeway will be treated with SoundSorb, designed to absorb traffic noise and minimize effects on neighborhoods.
•Extension of Avenida La Pata between San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano could begin in mid- to late-2013. It's a two-year project.

New owner aims to put pharmacy in Putney General Store
PUTNEY -- Back when the Putney Historical Society was looking for a new owner for the Putney General Store, there was talk of bringing a pharmacy to town. With an aging population, and no pharmacy within a 10-mile radius, historical society volunteers thought a pharmacy would be a good anchor for the rebuilt store.
Since then, the historical society has had an owner who was a butcher and also brought his own Chinese food to the business.
Now, as the business gets ready to change hands, Putney will soon get its own pharmacy.
Jim Heal, who has been the director of the pharmacy at Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend, is going to be the new owner of the Putney General Store with his wife Jane.
Heal managed the in-patient and out-patient pharmacy services at Messenger Valley Pharmacy, a Grace Cottage Hospital business. Once he has his license, Heal will run the Putney Pharmacy out of the top floor of the general store.
Katy Aldridge and Brad Hammond, who have owned Katy's Great Food and Take Out in East Dummerston and Newfane, and The Vermont Maple Cookie Company, are going to run and manage the cafe.
The Heals are expecting to close on the property Thursday, and Jim Heal said the pharmacy should be open in August or September.
Heal lives in Putney and considered getting involved with the Putney General Store while the Putney Historical Society was looking for a new owner in 2010. The last owner, Ming Chou, was already committed, however, Heal said.
Earlier this year the Heals ran into Aldridge, who said Chou had announced that he would be leaving Putney.
Jim said he had no intention of leaving his job in Townshend at the time, but the possibility of taking over the Putney General Store looked better and better the more he thought about it.
"We ran into Katy on Sunday. I went in to talk with Ming on Tuesday, and now, here we are," Jim Heal said.
Heal said Aldridge and Hammond will be employees of his company, Jolly Bee, Inc., and will help run the grocery downstairs. He said his son is in pharmacy school and could possibly move back to Vermont to take over the Putney Pharmacy after he graduates in three years.
While Heal will own the Putney General Store business, the Putney Historical Society will retain ownership of the property and will lease it to Heal.
Chou took over as owner in December 2011. He announced earlier this year that he would be leaving to focus on his health. Putney Historical Society board member Lyssa Papazian said Chou was able to establish the Putney General Store after two different fires at the location.
"The Putney Historical Society is especially appreciative of the effort and commitment Ming brought to the store and the community. He worked tirelessly to fulfill our dream of rebuilding the Putney General Store," Papazian said. "While we are very sorry to see Ming go, we are excited to work with Jim and Jane Heal to preserve the critical General Store business for the Putney community. A pharmacy has been requested by Putney residents and Jim has the experience and energy to make it happen."

Some folks here may have first seen it through Dennis Bailey's old site around 2004 (I think), where the only link was for a long time. I know it's crude, and the sound's bad, but it was a fun 5 months putting it together. Despite several credited modelers and other friends, it's a one-man production that modified some existing models downloaded from the internet. I cannot take credit for the ship and bridge. It took me about another 3 months to get the courage to post it at Dennis' place. Remarkably, within 2 weeks the art department guys at Star Trek: Enterprise saw it and commented, which was more than I'd ever hoped for, and still thrills me. YouTube's compression scheme messed up the timing in some scenes, and completely ruined my end credits. CAUTION: Mature themes. No dirty words or naughty bits, but sexual situations are there (it's Kirk, after all). I DO NOT consider it safe for work nor for viewing around small children.

Noshing in Memphis
Monday March 4, 2013
The Beale Street Music Festival just announced its lineup a few day ago, so we figure this is as good a time as any to call attention to our recently revised and updated list of Memphis's best restaurants. With only two months until Memphis in May, it's important to start thinking about your eating itinerary while in town. After all, one cannot live off corn dogs, funnel cake and other festival foodstuffs alone. Restaurants new to our Memphis Top 100 include The Brass Door, Cafe 1912, Fuel Cafe, Hog & Hominy, Local Gastropub, and Rizzo's Diner. We've also added a handful of local favorites: Aldo's Pizza Pies, DeJavu, Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant, Sakura Japanese, Sekisui, The Slider Inn, Stone Soup Cafe & Market, and Tom's Bar-B-Q.
Post list-creation, I stopped through Memphis on a 20-hour whirlwind trip the weekend before last. The reason for the visit was attending the swan song of beloved (yet dilapidated) Midtown music venue, the Hi-Tone. As per usual, my real motive remained cramming in as much food tourism as possible during my brief stay. My travelling companion and I squeezed in a couple Memphis classics around the concert. Upon arriving in Memphis we wasted no time at all, driving directly The Bar-B-Q Shop. This Midtown institution, which lays claim as "The Home of the Dancing Pigs," gets an A+ for exterior and signage alone, with cute window drawings of the aforementioned upright swine tango-ing. But kitsch value aside, the barbecue is the star of the show here and no secret among Midtowners - even at 3:30 in the afternoon, most tables in the joint were occupied. Their signature barbecue spaghetti is well worth a try (order it as a side if you don't want to commit all the way), as are their excellent chopped or pulled pork sandwiches on buttery Texas toast. This time around, I went ribs - there's no better city on the planet for ribs, so when in Rome ... Unable to resist the option which let me try a little of both, I opted for a half-wet/half-dry rack. The wet ribs were solid, but the dry were in a class of their own, heavily seasoned and not needing an ounce of sauce for additional flavor.
I'd gladly eat barbecue consecutive meals while in Memphis and have accomplished just that on previous occasions, but this time around we visited our favorite Memphis seafood spot, Half Shell in East Memphis (there's a Winchester location as well). It may not be the type of restaurant to make a New York Times 36-hours piece or other lists of the city's trendiest restaurants, but Half Shell truly is where the locals eat. Thematically, Half Shell's decor is some bizarre hybrid of tropical tiki bar, Mardi Gras, and cozy, wood-paneled lodge. When it comes to the food, they excel with fresh seafood and some of the best Cajun cuisine I've had outside New Orleans. Their etouffee (often a risky order outside Louisiana) did not disappoint, with an impressive depth of flavor. The fried oyster po' boy was exemplary as well, with a substantial French roll that held together nicely and sizeable fried oysters. Alas, there was no more time for eating adventures. Finishing at the Half Shell, which I might also mention has great access to I-240, was a wonderful way to conclude the stay.

Amare - 34pts 10rbs 2ast 2stl
Felton-17pts 13ast 5rbs 1stl
Amare - 34pts 10rbs 2ast 2stl
Felton-17pts 13ast 5rbs 1stl
Knicks 2012
...Do you guys realize how important this game is?
We beat a Western Conference Playoff Team ON THE ROAD.
I mean...this is only their second home loss of the season!
I know they were missing David West but still they're a tough defensive team and we took them to double figures while playing tough team defense in the 4th quarter when it mattered.
I know I'm not the only one who thinks this but I'm so excited that this is the first year in a LONG time that we've been able to actually talk about how awesome this season is going to be (instead of how awesome it'll be when we get a free agent in 2 years, or whatever).
Good games:
Amar'e: NEVER disappoints. To all those ****ers who thought not having Nash would be a hindrance...well...
Felton: 13 assists is impressive. Won't happen every night, but good shot selection and hustle, played Chris Paul really well too.
Chandler and Gallo: Not a whole lot of shots sinking but getting critical 3's when it mattered = wins games.
Fields: Even when he doesn't take many shots he still grabs 9 rebounds, what a guy.
Shawne Williams: Good game by him. I won't hold my breath, but still a good game.
All in all it's tough to be too down about how they've been playing recently. Road wins in general are tough, let alone Western Conference road wins let alone against playoff teams.
Impressive ass win.
The critics and nay-sayers are quickly running out of valid reasons to not give NYK their props.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
This game IMO made a statement to the NBA. The Knicks are no longer a automatic win. Bless Amar'e, Ray, the guys and tonight Williams was even the man
Yes I was sick and tired of us being the joke of the NBA and now that we're digging ourselves out of that hole...
I am, however, growing slightly concerned about one thing - is this short rotation going to come back and bite us in the ass down the line? I'm asking only cause I've been seeing a lot of games where they play 39-40 min lately and I'm wondering if they'd be better off if Amar'e and Felton didn't have to hustle every night. Maybe against the Raptors we can give them a bit of a rest and try running the offense through Gallinari driving to the basket again
Hopefully D'Antoni can do it in a way that doesn't jeopardize the players' rhythm going into the playoffs (cause we WILL be in the playoffs if we keep this up.)
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Hey new guy here. Im usually on car forums all day long but decided to do a search online for live game feeds and it led me here. Needless to say I found the game. I live in VA but grew up in NJ watchin the Knicks.
Its been a long 10 years of lots of heckling from my friends. LoL
This was an awesome win tonight! I hope we can keep rolling and put up a good fight this month. Tough schedule ahead!!
A western road win against a great team. 6 in a row on the lonesome road. I'm gonna have to use the word jubilant for the way I'm feeling right now because it's been 15 years - 15 ****ing years - since a Knick team has won 6 consecutive games on the road.
STAT is a monster, man. Okafor looked like Bo Peep tonight. I don't wanna hear ANY 'but David West wasn't playing' either, because Ronnie Turiaf was out again, and our boys went in to their house and squeezed the life out of it.
And what's up with Williams? MADNESS!! Three 3s! What a contribution!!! Randolph's chances of making the rotation look even grimmer now. Especially considering MD's anal passion for the triple. Still, as always, AR's nice to have in the back pocket.
I bum Raymond Felton. (so homo) Some of his defence on Paul was exemplary tonight man. That tough hit in the lane just sais Captain Ray is here to stay cause this is how the Captain plays. T.O.U.G.H = tuff.
He looks like a Wombat on speed out there with that barrel body, but the guy's legit. A few hairy moments out there, but all made up for on defence and with grit.
I am going to the pub right now.
Amare the Stud:
34 pts, 10 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 1 bs
Capt. Ray:
17 pts, 13 ast, 5 reb, 1 stl
Pothead Shaune Williams:
13 pts, 4 reb, 1 st, 1 bs
Knicks as a team:
8 stl! 4 bs!
first time we got 6 road game streak since '94 knicks!
Pornets as a team:
92pts allowed! 19 to(8 more than season average about)
lets go knicks, legitimate win right here!

Have you ever felt you were all "butterfingers" in the kitchen (excuse the pun)? Is preparing a meal for yourself or others more intimidating than skydiving or bungee jumping? Recently I watched a program The Worst Cooks in America on Food Network. This series shows the learning progression of contestants who were selected as the worst cooks. They were taught how to cook by two professional chefs in the show. As competent as they were in their own professions, they were lost souls in the kitchen. A professional ballet dancer who performs before thousands of people was terrified behind a stove. An interior designer had a fear of knives. A doctor was dismissed at the second show. I must admit it was hard to watch. At the last show, it was impressive to see the two finalists, who started out as bumbling fools, battle to become the best cook from this competition, preparing an exquisite 3-course meal judged by elite chefs. Kudos to them!
If you have ever felt insecure like these contestants, there is help. It can be a daunting task to learn how to cook. The best way is to learn from watching others who know how as I did from my father for everyday cooking and my mother for holiday pastries. Since we never used the oven for baking sweets, my girlfriend taught me to bake. You can imagine how elated I was to know I could bake cookies from scratch at the age of 12. I thought I could only get them from the store or bakery. The rest of my education came from reading cookbooks and trying out recipes. Of course learning always involves mistakes so continue to practice. Actually, some of the mistakes were quite delicious.
Here are a few tips to introduce you to this kaleidoscope of culinary knowledge. Start with books that bring you back to the basics which include simple recipes, some of which can be written for children and young adults, particularly for use while in college. Simple does not necessarily indicate boring or bland. Always seek out fresh ingredients which will provide optimum flavor. These "back to basics" cookbooks will also show you how to choose and use cooking equipment. The quick and fast cooking in 15-30 minutes cookbooks, along with the less ingredient cookbooks (3-5 ingredients) are good starters because you will not be so overwhelmed with so many ingredients and techniques in one recipe. The cookbooks I find most helpful are the ones that provide pictorial step-by-step instructions. Following the cooking process through pictures reassures you are doing it properly. Finally there are DVDs that are helpful to watch if you do not have a cooking mentor. Let's not forget the excellent resources online especially the "how to" on YouTube that will help you succeed so that you will not be called the worst cook. Bon Appetit!

NEW YORK Just as the nor'easter was peppering New York with some unexpected snow last week, Rolling Stone was toasting the hottest DJs featured in its November 22 issue with an event at Tao. And with these music-spinning entertainers firmly center stage—literally and figuratively—the November 7 party made the DJ booth the focal point, positioned directly in front of the restaurant's towering 16-foot-tall Buddha statue.
Produced by Toast—which also managed the music magazine's "Rock Weekend" for this year's Super Bowl in Indianapolis—the crowded bash had Tiësto, who took the number one spot on the list, perform from a platform equipped with three 42-inch seamless LCD screens that showed a loop of the event's sponsors as well as custom videos. Sponsor CoverGirl was integrated into the setup as well: The brand's new ambassadors, sister DJs Mim and Liv Nervo, also spun from the booth as the brand's Twitter feed splashed across video screens that flanked the stage.
As a nod to the relief efforts being made in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, proceeds from the event were donated to the Red Cross.
