The Astros rely heavily on sabermetrics in their evaluation of players and have been open about the fact that they use an online database to house their proprietary information. Luhnow isn't sure if that's why they were targeted, but he knows they are far from the only team which stores data about players and trades on... |
"You have to think about it: it's the double-edged sword of technology makes things easier, but if things like this are capable of happening it's definitely a risk that every team should probably think about now in light of this happening to us," he said. "It happened to us. Could it have happened to other clubs? I don... |
"One of the things I have been talking to my counterparts about with other clubs is recommending that everybody take a look at their own security systems and make sure they don't get hacked the way that we were. Because this definitely was an illegal activity," he said, |
There was a poignant scene at the conclusion of Stanford's victory over Notre Dame on Saturday night, players gathering as one for their customary salute to the crowd. As the band played on, the players swayed back and forth, hearing cries of adulation from the stands, everyone realizing that the Cardinal's seniors wer... |
It wasn't clear, right then, whether this would be the final Stanford Stadium appearance for coach David Shaw's fifth-year mainstays: the likes of Shayne Skov, Trent Murphy, Ben Gardner, Josh Mauro, Khalil Wilkes and Kevin Danser. Arizona State had a 13-0 first-half lead over Arizona, suggesting anything might happen. ... |
It wasn't to be. Shaw admitted he didn't have "the emotional energy to watch another football game right now," and he needn't have bothered. Arizona State wound up cruising to a 58-21 victory on its home field, and now the Sun Devils are calling it a homestand. |
Although he masked his feelings well, Shaw couldn't have been happy with certain developments against the Irish. As the second half began, the Cardinal had to call timeout before running their first play. A rough patch by cornerback Alex Carter - first a pass-interference call, then a personal foul that had originally... |
Asked about any "problem" his team might have had, however, Shaw answered, "Was there a problem? Tyler Gaffney rushed for 190 yards against a very good football team. Our seniors accomplished their goal. Ten wins, didn't lose a home game, and now a shot at the Rose Bowl." |
It took a pair of clutch interceptions from junior cornerback Wayne Lyons to really nail this one down, and if things seemed a little bit off at times, perhaps it was because so much was going on elsewhere. On an astounding day and night for college football, Palo Alto didn't feel like the place to be. |
Midway through the first quarter, the stadium's big video screen showed Auburn's Chris Davis racing 109 yards with a missed field goal to wreck Alabama's unbeaten season with one second to play, arguably the most stunning high-stakes finish in collegiate history (players are officially credited with 100 yards on such r... |
Earlier in the day, Michigan's Brady Hoke became a sentimental favorite for Coach of the Year, going for a two-point version in the final seconds against Ohio State when a routine extra point would have meant overtime. The gamble failed and the Buckeyes prevailed, 42-41, but here's to Hoke and the Michigan players who ... |
Drama was unfolding at every turn. Interim USC coach Ed Orgeron finally ran out of magic in a 35-14 loss to UCLA, making it likely that the Trojans will go after a marquee name for the 2014 season. And then came the game in Stanford's crosshairs: not much of a game at all, as Arizona State improved its conference-best ... |
It was a brutal mismatch in many ways, Stanford rushing to a 29-0 halftime lead that grew to 39-7 after three quarters. Hogan threw two touchdown passes to Ty Montgomery, and the irrepressible Gaffney scored twice during a 95-yard rushing day. |
The finish wasn't so pretty. Stanford sat on the ball throughout the fourth quarter while the Sun Devils rallied for 21 points. There was an unmistakable loss of focus, linebacker A.J. Tarpley calling the final minutes "unacceptable." |
Count on a different story Saturday. Stanford has a way of correcting its mistakes and turning them into a distant memory. If I were a betting man, with some time off around the first of the year, I'd book a trip to the Rose Bowl. |

(Redirected from Morals) |
Jump to: navigation, search |
Morals are the principles of right conduct. In general, they are used by people toward living among other people. When everyone agrees to what is right, life goes along more smoothly. Governments use law to enforce morals, but civilization couldn't stand if individuals had no morals at all. |
Sources of Moral Guidance |
There are many sources of moral guidance used by many different groups of people; each groups sees their sets of morals as supreme. Western civilization in general is largely based off of the Ten Commandments (and to a wider extent the Bible), the set of morals for Judaism and Christianity. Muslims derive their morals ... |

Les 3 Brasseurs |
• g |
I recently read in another online forum that a French-based restaurant chain called Les 3 Brasseurs ("The 3 Brewers") will be opening a location in Toronto soon. Currently they have many locations in France and four in Montreal. It will be located on the east side of Yonge St. just south of Dundas Square, in a storefro... |
Looking at the menu for their existing locations, it seems like an interesting mix of typical sports bar food, bistro food, and some intriguing unpasteurized microbrews. Has anyone been to any of these locations? Is this something I should be looking forward to, or just pedestrian tourist fare? |

1. Last year we had lunch a couple of times at Les 3 Brasseurs in Rheims. |
The food was way better than most pub fare. |
Great variety to choose from. |
Loved the place. |
Also noted on their placemats that they were located in Montreal,as well. |
Some of the brewing tubes were transparent, and all were in the eating area. |
Great fun to watch. |
If the standard here is even close to that in France, it will be a very popular restaurant. |

I went to a 3 Brasseurs in Montreal. It was enjoyable (although admittedly I really only had beer). My friend likes them for the litre beers. |

I've enjoyed the location on St Denis (I think) in Montreal. The beer is quite good too. |
1. re: Blueicus |
How is the beer? Do they know what they are doing? Booze Emporium / Prohibition, doesn't. |

2. Had the flight of beer (5 tastings) in October at the Old Montreal location. I liked one out of five, but I'm not a fully-educated beer hound yet. We were trying not to eat cause we had reservations at Le Club Chasse et Peche shortly after, which was worth the wait! |
However, 3 Bs did have a good pub atmosphere and ours will be a hit with tourists and locals alike. Time will tell about the food quality and whether or not locals stick to the likes of Beerbistro. |
1. I was in Montreal a few weeks back and had a few meals there. The place reminds me of Milestones. Nothing spectacular or exgtraordinarily memorable. There was a smoked meat pizza that lacked flavour, the "poutine" was made with frozen fries and tasteless gravy and a number of things that aren't really wort... |
The beers were pretty good and they sold pints with schnapps/liqueurs etc. |

Neither Smoked meat Pizza or Poutine are menu items in France, yet their menu is very interational. |
Too bad that they adapted to what they assumed were Canadian preferences. |
1. re: erly |
What jamsy might be referring to as pizza is what 3 Brasseurs call a Flamm - their version of Flammekueche (aka tarte flambee), which is traditional in Alsace-Lorraine, the home of the original brasseries. It's similar to a thin crust pizza in concept, but it is made with fresh cheese and/or creme fraic... |

Tioga Mini Mart |

My friend and I stopped at the Tioga Moble Mini Mart on our way to Tahoe this past week. I had seen a posting on this board regarding this place a little while back. It was "All That" and more! The Lobster taquitos with green tomatillo sauce, black beans and side salad were outstanding. The Buffalo meat loaf with garli... |

1. re: Diane |
It's less than a quarter mile south of Lee Vining, but it's not on 395, but on SR 120 (the road to Yosemite) just a minute west of 395. It's still less than 3 minutes drive from Lee Vining and definitely worth stopping for. The fish tacos are also highly recommended. |
1. re: Risa |
it used to be (and maybe still is?) called the Whoa Nellie Deli...see below, and yes, the fish tacos are the best! |

ASU Professor's Brutal Arrest: When Minor Offenses Lead to Major Abuse |
On May 20, Dr. Ersula Ore, an English professor at Arizona State University was stopped in the middle of the street by ASU Police Officer Stewart Ferrin for obstructing a public thoroughfare—jaywalking. When Ferrin asked for her identification, she refused to provide it, having been warned she faced arrest for not pres... |
But footage released this weekend shows that the altercation went down very differently than described. In the dash camera video, Ore, whose only threat was walking across a street to avoid construction on the sidewalk, clearly attempts to reason with the police officer, but is met with disregard which escalated into v... |
Ferrin: Let me see your ID or you will be arrested for failing to provide ID |
Ore: Are you serious? |
Ferrin: Yes, I'm serious. That is the law. If you don't understand the law I'm explaining the law to you right now. You're walking down the middle of the road, which is a public thoroughfare— |
Ore: Which I have no problem with abiding by the law, but all I'm asking, do you have to speak to me in such a disrespectful manner? That's all I ask of you…I have been here for over three years and everybody walks this street…I never once saw a single solitary individual get pulled over by a cop for walking across a s... |
Ferrin: Are you aware this is a street? |
Ore: Let me finish |
Ferrin: OK, put your hands behind your back |
Ore: Don't touch me, get your hands off me… |
Ferrin: …Put your hands behind your back right now. I'm going to slam you on this car. Put your hand behind your back |
Ore: You really want to do that? Do you see what I'm wearing? Do you see? |
Ferrin: I don't care what you are wearing. |
ORE: Don't talk to me like that. This entire thing has been about your lack of respect for me as a citizen, as a professor of...Arizona State University. |
Here's a video of the raw footage. It's all audio until 2:15—it is shocking, so be warned. |
Ferrin throws her to the ground, exposing her as she was wearing a dress. When the officers pull her to her feet and Ferrin attempts to adjust her dress and pull it back down, she kicks Ferrin in the shin. As Ferrin cuffs her, the other officer tells her to relax. |
Clearly, the footage is painting a very different picture of the situation than what was largely reported and considered a closed case by ASU, the ASU PD, and media. And it's very clear that ASU is distancing themselves from the situation. They released a statement to 3TV, saying: |
"ASU authorities have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the arrest and have found no evidence of inappropriate actions by the ASUPD officers involved. Should such evidence be discovered, an additional, thorough inquiry will be conducted and appropriate actions taken..." |
The Arizona Ethnic Studies Network has called out ASU on their response to the matter, demanding that they launch a "comprehensive investigation into this matter as well as an audit on the conduct of its police force vis-à-vis racial profiling." |
Dr. Ore will be fighting the charges, and there is currently a petition, calling for the ASU Police Department to drop all charges and "issue an unquantified apology." We reached out to Dr. Ore and were able to get in touch with her lawyer Alane Roby to discuss the situation. When we asked for her response to ASU deemi... |
I think as far as liability goes it would be in their best interest to hope that it's not a case of racial profiling. That being said, I have several witnesses that were there that evening that were also crossing the street, and none of them happened to be black and none of them happened to be women. One of them called... |
This is not Roby's first case of abuse at the hands of police in Arizona. It's not even her first case of a white police officer antagonizing and assaulting black civilians over minor offenses. Roby went on to emphasize the indiscretion of the police officers, highlighting the need for a forum to address police abuse, ... |
"I think the bigger issue is that there needs to be an open discussion about the way that officers respond to the general public, how they treat them, the type of respect that they demand and [how they] respond to the type of respect they get initially. The situation was exacerbated for no reason. It was jaywalking—[it... |
Regardless, if he didn't like the way that Ore was speaking to him or if she was jaywalking, the reality is that these officers should be trained to diffuse the situation instead of exacerbate it…When it's contentious from the beginning, when the civilians are treated with disrespect, when they're treated as criminals ... |
