The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio, Bob Hunter column
Source: The Columbus Dispatch, OhioSept.迷你倉 06--Daisuke Matsuzaka asking for and being granted his release from the Clippers last month may have been a sign that the parent Cleveland Indians knew what they were doing. Matsuzaka quickly signed with the New York Mets, a move that has been disastrous.In three starts covering only 121/3 innings, he is 0-3 with a 10.95 ERA. Matsuzaka lasted only three innings in his last start, on Monday, allowing Atlanta six runs on seven hits."We need him for innings; that's why we got him," Mets manager Terry Collins said.General manager Sandy Alderson told reporters last week that the Mets are committed to keeping Dice-K in the rotation while admitting it "might not be pretty for the rest of the month." In 19 starts with the Clippers, Matsuzaka was 5-8 with a 3.92 ERA.It has been quiet on the basketball recruiting front lately, but that does not mean Ohio State men's coaches have given up adding a big man to their highly rated and otherwise complete 2014 recruiting class.Elbert Robinson, a 7-foot, 300-or-so-pounder from Garland, Texas, is scheduled to take an official visit the weekend of Sept. 28, when Ohio State plays Wisconsin in football under the lights. Coaches also are trying to bring in 6-9, 215-pound Goodluck Okonoboh of Boston for the same weekend.And Ohio State hasn't given up on 6-11 center Myles Turner, either, hoping the Texas native will pay an official visit to campus in October.All three are ranked among the top five centers nationally in 247Sports' 2014 rankings. Ohio State already has the No. 2-ranked class with commitments from guard D'Angelo Russell of Louisville, Ky.; wings Jae'Sean Tate of Pickerington Central and Keita Bates-Diop of Normal, Ill.; and center Dave Bell of Garfield Heights, Ohio.The Houston Texans apparently liked what they saw in camp from fullback Zach Boren in terms of hustle and leadership -- so much so, in fact, that they went to lengths to ensure that other NFL teams didn't see too much of the former Ohio State player before signing him to the practice squad.Boren, who originally joined Houston as an undrafted free agent in May, went through offseason training with the Texans and played extensively in the first preseason game. His appearances diminished precipitously the next two games, then he was cut last week, before Houston's final exhibition game.Such actions can be an indicator that a team is keeping a possible sleeper from being seen by other teams around the league. Limiting his "tape," as it's called, gives a team a better chance to hang on to him, since he first must clear waivers before another team can sign him. In Boren's case, he was cut early and waited it out. The Texans re-signed him to the practice squad on Monday.As of yesterday afternoon, a bid of $55,000 for Jerry Lucas' 1973 New York Knicks' NBA championship ring led the bidding for the former Ohio State star's memorabilia by Grey Flannel Auctions. The auction ends at midnight tonight.Lucas' U.S. Olympic team jersey from the 1960 gold-medal winning basketball game had one bid of $50,000, the minimum for that item. His 1960 NCAA championship ring had two bids, topped by one for $22,500.Not all of the items being offered had bids, including the most expensive item available. Lucas' gold medal from the '60 Olympics so far had found no bidders willing to meet the $250,000 minimum price.While the Cleveland Browns auditioned kickers last week, the question around camp was why they didn't re-sign Phil Dawson儲存倉in free agency. The team has more than $25 million in salary-cap space, and Dawson, a Cleveland fixture since 1999 and a Pro Bowl player last year, signed a one-year, $2.35 million deal with San Francisco.The Browns brought in former Bengals kicker Shayne Graham and Brandon Bogotay and ended up cutting both, then auditioned Billy Cundiff and Dan Carpenter before signing Cundiff. Browns officials have maintained that bringing in a kicker the week before the opener makes no difference, which may be true.The larger issue is that Cundiff hasn't been the same kicker since 2010 and looks like a considerable step down from Dawson. Cundiff missed nine field-goal attempts for Baltimore in the 2011 regular season, then hooked a 32-yard attempt in the closing seconds of an AFC championship game loss to New England. He was cut by Baltimore, then released by Washington last season after making only 7 of 12 field-goal tries.The University of Cincinnati's football game at Illinois on Saturday will be something of a reunion for Illini athletic director Mike Thomas, who held the same post at UC from 2005 to '11. Thomas told the Decatur (Ill.) Herald-Review, "I've only been back to Cincinnati once since I came to Illinois, although I go by there or through there quite a bit on my travels."He still has a taste for the city, though. He said he has an arrangement with men's basketball coach John Groce, who worked with Thad Matta at Xavier and Ohio State before becoming coach at Ohio and subsequently landing at Illinois."Coach Groce and I have a deal," Thomas said. "When we go through Cincinnati, we bring him back some Skyline Chili. And when John goes through there, he brings Skyline Chili to us."The time is now for former Ohio State defensive lineman Cameron Heyward to make an impression if he expects to have a future with the Pittsburgh Steelers.Heyward, a first-round draft pick in 2011, has played sparingly at right defensive end in part because he has been stuck behind veteran Brett Keisel. But Keisel turns 35 this month, and he and Ziggy Hood, the other defensive end starter, are both in the final years of their contracts.The Steelers are planning to use Heyward more this season, and he told ESPN.com that he is ready to give them more. He is in good shape and better understands the Steelers' complex defense."When you can pick up little tendencies, tricks of the trade, it's going to help you go out there and play faster and be more confident in what you're doing," he said.Graham Rahal had a chance to drive this week on two configurations that Indianapolis Motor Speedway is considering for a possible road race. He completed 44 laps on the course used for a Grand Am event and 20 laps on the reverse configuration with the MotoGP loop.Speedway officials plan to invest nearly $100 million in the facility as part of a long-term plan that could include modifications to the road course to allow it to accommodate IndyCar testing or racing."I think that having a road race here would be great," Rahal said. "We're not going to fill this place, we all know that, but it really doesn't matter. It's a totally different thing (from the Indianapolis 500). We really don't use much of the oval, so I think it would be really cool."Bob Hunter is a sports columnist for The Dispatch.bhunter@dispatch.com@dailyhunterCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) Visit The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) at .dispatch.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉價錢

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Building Blocks column
Source: St.文件倉 Louis Post-DispatchSept. 06--ST. LOUIS --Opened in the 1950s as a trendy St. Louis motor lodge for cool cats, the hotel at 4630 Lindell Boulevard will soon have a new owner.Roberts Hotels CWE, a company owned by businessmen brothers Mike and Steve Roberts, said Thursday that its Comfort Inn in the Central West End neighborhood will be sold at auction.The brothers bought the hotel out of foreclosure in 2007. Two years and millions of dollars later, they re-opened it as the Hotel Indigo, a luxury boutique brand. Lien filings, suits and countersuits involving the Robertses and hotel contractors dogged the project even before the Indigo opened. In 2011, the hotel was rebranded as a Comfort Inn.As Roberts Hotels CWE puts it in its auction announcement, even as a budget Comfort Inn, the hotel "experienced a significant business reduction" as a result of the sour economy.No date is given for the auction. Roberts Hotels CWE says the sale will involve Pulaski Bank and other lenders."We are plea存倉e to be given the opportunity to work with the lender to resolve outstanding issues in the current depressed real estate climates," Mike Roberts says in a statement.Also in a statement, Pulaski's president, Tom Reeves, says the auction agreement "is a prime example of a cooperative effort mutually beneficial for the borrower and the banks."Pulaski sued the brothers in 2012 over a construction loan tied to the Comfort Inn. The suit alleged the Robertses defaulted on the loan and owed $6.9 million in principal, interest and other fees. Records show the suit remains pending in St. Louis Circuit Court.Whoever buys the 127-room Central West End hotel will get a place that back in the day was known as the Bel Air West. It was among the area's first motor hotels and had a history of housing celebrities, including Bob Hope, Andy Williams and Jimmy Durante.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Student safety net
Source: Mail Tribune, Medford, Ore.迷你倉Sept. 06--Michelle Hensman knows that campus security is no laughing matter. But when she was dropping off her two sons for their first day back at Ruch School, they couldn't help but giggle at the sight of little children corralled inside a fence."It just struck us as funny," recalls Hensman, who was accustomed to an open campus. "One of my boys said, 'Don't feed the animals at the zoo.' And we all laughed."She then became quiet when she said that perimeter fencing, locking gates and restricting access through the reconfigured front office door are necessary safety precautions."We all want our children safe," she says.Students enrolled in Medford schools and their parents noticed security-related changes made over the summer when they returned to campuses on Tuesday.The $2.1 million upgrades, completed in three phases, are meant to control people coming into the schools, and allow faculty and staff to protect children on campus.In case of an emergency, there are notification buttons, door hardware that locks from the inside, and window coverings that obscure views inside the buildings.Superintendent Phil Long says that after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., last December, he and the School Board began evaluating the safety of the district's campuses."The day of the tragedy, we reflected on what happened and then we started to come up with a response to make our schools safe without over-responding," he says.With the help of law enforcement and other security experts, they decided to make improvements at each campus. A new campus and many schools remodeled over the pa儲存t six years required the least amount of work.South Medford High, which was constructed in 2010, needs $22,000 for a large monitor at the entry, an emergency notification system and phones.Over the summer, however, crews worked to transform older schools such as Hoover Elementary, which was built in 1958.Now, children can be dropped off in a school parking lot and enter a side door that takes them past the glass-enclosed office. This outside door and gates are then locked at 8 a.m., leaving the front door to the office the only way to enter the campus during school hours.A total of $315,000 was budgeted to also install 6-foot fencing, move classroom doors to the campus interior and improve the security system.At Griffin Creek Elementary, which was built in 1902, $286,500 was spent to create secure passages from classrooms, upgrade the security alarm system and add exterior and interior cameras.At Ruch School, Hensman says filing everyone past the remodeled front office didn't make Tuesday any more chaotic than previous first days of school. As in the past, parents were registering their children and kids needed help finding their teachers.About $200,000 was allocated to also change classroom doors to open only into fenced areas and install security alarms, cameras and a notification phone system."It's a better setup than they had before," says Hensman, who has a first-grader and eighth-grader at the school. "They did the best things to make parents and kids feel safe."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Mail Tribune (Medford, Ore.)

Home of outlaws, polygamists featured on Cache home tour
Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahSept.自存倉 05--CACHE VALLEY -- A house that belonged to a horse thief, one that was built by a polygamist, and another that started as an elementary school, are all part of the Cache Valley Historic Home Tour.The tour, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, showcases seven buildings in Logan and Providence."Most of the homes this year were built in the 1800s, so we will not only see the skills and resourcefulness of these early builders, but we will also enjoy the innovation, ingenuity and hard work of the current residents who have made the home convenient for our time while maintaining many of their unique historic features," said committee chairwoman Bernice McCowin, in a news release about the event.Buildings open for the tour:--492 W. 200 South, Logan. Built in 1872 by John Nelson, a Scottish immigrant with 13 children, the house was named "Estelle." Blackjack Nelson, John's son, was a stagecoach robber and horse thief, and was hanged for his crimes. The home is also said to have been a brothel in the early 1900s.--109 N. 200 West, Logan. Built in 1862, by polygamist George L. Farrell, the house is made of local Swan Peak quartzite. The house had separate living spaces to accommodate two wives.--341 E. 300 North, Logan. This Victorian house, buil迷你倉新蒲崗 in 1899, was made of local brick and signed by the mason.--496 E. 100 South, Logan. This was the Franklin School, open by 1884 and closed in 1911.--105 E. 200 North, Providence. This home was built in 1890, and is lived in by the great-granddaughter of the original owner. It still has the original floor plan, and trees planted by pioneer ancestors in the yard.--495 S. Main St., Providence. Dating to 1906-07, the house was added onto in 1916. The original kitchen cupboards, wainscoting, and door and window casings as still in place.--123 S. Main St., Logan. The Mountain Place Apartments were built in 1895 as a hotel. Lighting, decor, antiques and, true to the time, an old telephone booth can be seen, too. There is no elevator.Tickets cost $10, and can be picked up at Macey's Food & Drug in Providence, Lee's Marketplace in Logan and Smithfield, and at the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau, 199 N.

我�我訴:漢城的回憶(四)
2005年,文件倉發生了很多事。1月19日,市長李明博宣布,將漢城的中文譯名改為「首爾」。那時我已到過漢城超過30次,漢城幾乎等於我另一個家。如今家要改名了,始終有點不習慣、不情願。還未接受到「首爾」之際,另一波「韓流」正悄悄醞釀,而且,是史無前例的。《浪漫滿屋》在當地熱播,風潮很快吹至香江,並吸納了一大批全新的「韓迷」;1月24日,TVB開始播《大長今》,後來掀起了一股甚麼樣的韓風,相信不用我多說。那年3月,我又和旅行社合作,舉辦《大長今》+《浪漫滿屋》景點團,一天之內爆滿,馬上再加開一團,又再爆滿,結果我帶�兩部旅遊車的乘客到韓國。在車上,我不斷為應該叫「首爾」還是「漢城」而躊躇。韓流盛世,但我並不是太愉快。踏入「三字頭」,迎來人生最大的衝擊,在首爾的街存倉上,我不斷問:「我的下一步是甚麼?」這份疑惑和恐懼在無數司儀工作、韓星專訪、撰寫韓流專欄的背後一直延續和擴張,直到我的下一步慢慢浮現出來—原來也是和韓流息息相關。著名國際電影人張家振先生從荷里活回流亞洲,他得知韓國電影業非常蓬勃,便透過友人去邀約我出來見面。張先生蜚聲國際,我喜出望外,也受寵若驚。那年9月,我和他一起出席釜山國際電影節,向他介紹韓國影圈的不同人脈。閒談間,他問我:「你既然喜歡寫作,那對寫電影劇本有興趣嗎?」就是這句話,開啟了我的下一步。後來,張先生成了我在電影圈的啟蒙老師,兩年後我開始以導演的身份到韓國。我到韓國的次數,亦隨�「漢城」換成「首爾」,而慢慢減少……網址:.facebook.com/newpapaclub劉偉�•導演及電台主持迷你倉

昨晚,存倉新興縣紀念六祖惠能圓寂1300周年暨2013廣東第六屆禪宗六祖文化節活動拉開帷幕。來自海內外的嘉賓和遊人齊聚六祖惠能的故鄉,感受博大精深的禪宗文化和千年古邑的日新月異。在建設文化強國的號角聲中,新興縣不斷在文化領域“重拳出擊”。在新興縣縣域科學發展新模式中,“文化崛起”位列首位,在四大發展戰略中“文化引領”同樣排名第一。以此次盛會為契機,新興將更好地利用自身的文化優勢,探索出一條獨特的崛起之路。弘揚禪宗精神 打造文化品牌新興縣是六祖惠能的出生地、感悟地、弘法地和圓寂地,是《六祖壇經》的完成地,是中國禪宗思想的發祥地。新興縣有國恩寺、六祖出生地、金台寺、別母石、夏院寺、藏佛坑、香燈崗、永寧寺、護法石等�多聖跡。明代著名禪師憨山德清指出,中國禪宗“其根發于新州,暢于法性,浚于曹溪,散于海內。是知文化由中國漸被嶺表,而禪道實由嶺表達于中國”。新興的山山水水孕育出一代碩儒高僧,六祖禪宗思想影響著一代又一代的新興人。放眼當今新興,千百年來禪宗文化在此地的深厚積澱,已經孕育出累累碩果。如今的新興,不僅繼承了自六祖惠能時期流傳下來的禪宗文化,還將其提煉總結,並通過打造文化品牌等措施,將禪宗文化的“金字招牌”推廣出去。此時在新興縣舉辦紀念六祖惠能圓寂1300周年暨2013廣東第六屆禪宗六祖文化節活動,既是對千餘年來新興縣禪宗文化傳承脈絡的梳理,更是把新興打造為“中國禪都”、進一步弘揚禪宗文化的重要舉措。本屆禪宗六祖文化節將以愛心慈善活動開幕,通過對新興縣的道德模範和慈善人士的表彰,體現禪宗文化中的慈善要素;還將舉行禪文化書畫展等活動,以�多知名藝術家創作的書畫作品為載體,讓人們走進禪文化,瞭解禪文化;同時,舉辦“禪與生活”電視論壇和《六祖壇經》大講壇,通過高僧大德和知名學者專家的對談,普及禪宗文化,讓大�體會到禪與我們的日常生活息息相關。在當前廣東建設文化強省的浪潮中,新興的決策者敏銳地意識到,必須樹立獨特的文化品牌,才能體現“中國禪都”的特色。如今,位於該縣的禪文化創意產業園正在如火如荼地建設之中。該園區將被建設成為全國乃至全球首個以中國禪宗六祖文化為底蘊、以禪文化創意命名的產業園區。其總體規劃面積達425平方公里,首期規劃建設和開發投資將達104億元。項目首期建成後,年產值將超過百億元,預計每年為地方創造10億元稅收,並提供過萬就業崗位,同時帶動相關產業集聚。園區建成後,將成為新興禪文化的重要品牌。借力文化優勢 助推經濟發展在深厚禪宗文化底蘊的影響下,新興實施“文化引領、優勢集聚、特色主導、服務均等”四大發展戰略,使該縣的經濟建設得到穩步發展。新興縣委、縣政府明確提出,要推動新興加倍發展,“爭取2017年與全省同步實現小康,達到全國平均水平”。可喜的是,近年來新興經濟一直保持迅猛的增長勢頭。今年1至7月,全縣規模以上工業增加值增長26.9%,地方公共財政預算收入增長31.4%,固定資產投資增長44.4%,多項主要經濟指標的總量保持在雲浮市首位、增速居雲浮市前列。在融合禪文化與經濟發展的過程中,新興縣正不斷開拓出新的發展領域。今年6月28日,新興紅木家具產業園正式奠基,截至目前,項目累計投資3.1億元,完成年度計劃的66.3%。該產業園計劃總投資達120億元,禪文化和紅木文化的融合將在其中得到體現。未來,該產業園還將進一步打造生態旅遊全產業鏈的產業集群。在發展幸福導向型產業和建設生態文明發展示範區的思路下,新興已經形成該縣獨具特色的支柱產業。目前,新興已經成為中國最大的縣級不鏽鋼廚具生產和出口基地,不鏽鋼製品企業有50多家,配套廠家近60家,行業年產值近80億元。2012年,新興縣不鏽鋼製品出口額達3.39億美元,占全國同類產品出口值的18.68%。“中國不鏽鋼餐廚具之鄉”的美譽實至名歸。為加快建設生態文明發展示範區,新興縣結合生態資源和禪宗文化兩大優迷你倉,發展生態文化旅遊,吸引著越來越多的遊客前來遊覽。本屆禪宗六祖文化節活動期間,新興縣將舉辦禪宗文化生態游�動儀式,組織千余名遊客到新興各旅遊景區感受禪宗文化氛圍。目前,新興的生態新型產業發展正不斷取得突破。其中,健康服務旅遊休閒產業就聚集了金水台溫泉、青山綠水溫泉、天露山旅遊度假區、象窩生態茶園、養生穀、六祖小鎮、藏佛坑等一批景區或在建項目。目前,新興正積極引入高效益、低能耗的新興產業,促進產業轉型升級。高新技術方面,商務部中國國際電子商務中心在新興縣投資建設新興信息產業基地,項目總投資約100億元,將打造成為全球動漫遊戲產業集群。其首期項目于本月全面動工。放眼未來,新興多個特色產業呈多輪驅動、大步邁進的態勢將越來越好。運用禪宗文化 完善社會管理弘揚六祖思想文化,追求心性修養,追求和諧相處,減少功利與浮躁,對建設現代社會大有裨益。禪宗文化在新興流傳至今,不僅熏陶著當地人的性情,其思想精髓更被廣泛應用于社會的方方面面。近年來,新興縣開創性地以禪宗文化創新社會管理,令該縣社會環境得到迅速改善。“禪廉結合”是新興縣運用禪宗文化、探索完善廉政文化制度的一大探索。近期,在與相關學術機構和專家學者研討之後,新興縣以六祖惠能的生平和《六祖壇經》為藍本,挖掘禪宗六祖文化“修身養德、內省倡廉、自我完善”的精髓,初步提煉出“禪廉文化”蘊含的“平和包容、立德向善、互信互助”三大理念,為“禪廉文化”提供了理論支撐。目前,新興縣正以本土教材和社會公約為依托,推動“禪廉文化”教育常態化。新興縣正在著手編撰6本“禪廉文化”叢書,作為本土廉政教材,推動“禪廉文化”全面自然融入黨員幹部群�的日常工作生活,並融入各行各業的廉政文化建設之中。禪宗思想與廉政文化已在六祖故里得到融合,並逐漸滲透到社會管理的方方面面。在推廣“禪廉文化”的過程中,新興縣一批部門機關隨之開展特色文化創建活動。在新興縣法院系統,禪宗文化被引入到法院文化建設之中。這不但讓新興法院被省高級人民法院確定為全省八大特色法院文化建設基地之一,也有效推動了新興和諧社會的構建。據統計,從2011到2012年,新興法院共受理訴前聯調案件490件,全部調解成功;去年該院未成年人非監禁刑適用率達到了51.85%,被判決的青少年罪犯,出獄後無一重新犯罪;已判決的各類案件中,超過九成的案件當事人服判息訴。如今的新興縣,上至機關單位,下至基層百姓,無不受到禪宗文化的熏陶和影響。近年來,新興縣致力于扶持發展六祖慈善會等社團組織,引領社會培育“平和包容,關愛向善”的風尚,讓群�形成良好的幸福社會心態,提升社會善治水平和公民道德水平,並形成群�互信互助、協同共治的社會管理模式。同時,新興縣不斷致力于改善民生福祉,積極探索“三農”融資新模式,逐步完善政策性農業保險制度,並推動該縣醫保制度完善,令該縣人民的幸福指數日益提高。目前,新興縣運用禪宗文化完善社會管理的措施成效已經顯現。在新城鎮南外社區,巷道兩旁一幅幅弘揚禪宗文化“感恩、平等、和諧”思想的宣傳畫引人駐足。相傳南外社區是六祖惠能當年“聞經開悟之地”。近年來,隨著經濟的發展,南外社區的外來人口已經超過了本地人。這些外來人口很好地融入了當地環境,與本地人共同生活,不分彼此,其樂融融。南外社區支書陳仲垣認為,該社區和諧宜居家園的建設,靠的就是弘揚禪宗文化中的“無分別心、�生平等”的思想,把家的內涵和共建和諧社區的理念貫穿于社區的管理與建設之中,讓本地人、外地人都能均等享受到基礎教育、公共醫療、文化娛樂、社會保障等公共服務。千餘年之後,六祖惠能的禪宗思想仍將在新興這片土地上開出禪文化之花,生生不息。撰文:範琛 趙威圖片說明:昨晚,“紀念六祖惠能圓寂1300周年暨廣東禪宗六祖文化節”在新興拉開帷幕。開幕式上,一出大型交響樂《六祖惠能》首演博得陣陣喝彩。南方日報記者 張由瓊 盧奕誠 攝; 新興國恩寺。自存倉
