SBL: Yang Jing-min clinches Beer victory over Numen
Taipei Times – Mar 16, 2008
The newly acquired power forward for Taiwan Beer who has not been as consistent as his team would have liked after proving himself with four outstanding seasons on the Bank of Taiwan roster finally answered the call with the game on the line to deliver a much-needed win for the defending champs. The win not only helped the beer crew get back on track after a disappointing loss to the last-place bankers last Sunday but also propelled them to a tie for second place with the Numen as the regular season winds down. The contest began with the Numen firing from behind the three-point line at will by converting four long three’s to enjoy a narrow 21-20 over Taiwan Beer. But the speedy transition game of Taiwan Beer that led to several uncontested fast-break buckets would spark a 14-0 run that put the men in their familiar green ahead by as many as 11 points before dmedia answered with a 7-3 run to end the first half trailing 36-43.

Why a Gwinnett stadium might become a giant restaurant. With one…
Atlanta Journal Constitution – Mar 16, 2008
“nce you say you’re K with Sunday sales at a Braves game or Sunday sales in limousines…I don’t know how you have a moral ground” Richardson argued. For those of you who have waited until the third inning to find your seats a brief review is in order. Your state Senate has passed a bill to permit the sale of Sunday beer at a new stadium Gwinnett County is building for a Braves minor league team. It is a small technical patch in the state code. Currently only cities may permit stadiums in their jurisdictions to sell beer on Sunday. But the Gwinnett stadium will be in unincorporated territory ruled by the county. A House committee last week tacked on a provision that would allow local communities throughout Georgia to hold referendums on whether to permit Sunday sales of beer and wine… nly last year Richardson was a no-Sabbath-beer loyalist. “As a general rule most people go to church of whatever faith on Sunday. And we don’t sell beer on Sundays. It’s just one of those traditions” the House speaker said in 2007. But Richardson’s chamber just approved a November ballot measure asking voters to eliminate property taxes on vehicles. It’s difficult to argue that you trust the average Georgian to rewrite the state budget but not to decide what day of the week he or she might buy a six-pack. For his part Perdue has declared this government-by-referendum to be an abandonment of responsibility by the Legislature.
