A rooftop patio for 75 patrons, complete with a polished granite bar, decorative planter boxes and one killer view of the massive Buckhead retail renovation currently under way. McGill says the pub's menu faves like corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips and famous boxtys are staying put as are those popular early AM televised soccer and rugby matches that are heavily attended by British ex pats and their American friends. Alas, the inconvenient hour of the game telecasts here (the matches are played in the PM across the pond) is something McGill says won't change either, Quipped McGill: "The vagaries of time travel forces us to show them at that hour here." If city permits are issued in a timely fashion, the new Fado should be open in time for St.
Man who claimed ‘mercy killing’ portrayed as master deceiver
Information presented to a Multnomah County grand jury paints a much different portrait of John L. Roberts than the one that emerged last week. Roberts, 51, who was indicted Friday in the murder of his wife, Virginia Roberts, was described by some family members as a loving husband who fulfilled his terminally-ill wife's last request by shooting her in the head. But not everyone supported this image of Roberts. Some warned anonymously on The Outlook's web site and in interviews with a reporter that he is a skilled manipulator, and that his defense was untenable. A "memorandum of law" released on Monday by the Multnomah County district attorney's office concurs. The memorandum alleges there was no evidence that Virginia Roberts wanted to die. It further alleges that Roberts has engaged in elaborate acts of deceit in the past, that he had drinking and financial problems and that he was an unfaithful husband.

All present or accounted for, time to begin
For now, the Braves are officially staying with their earlier projection of June or July. But Cox seems open to the possibility it could be mid-June instead of around the All-Star break in July, which was the original projection. "He's ready to go, in his mind," Cox said. "But it's going to be June, probably. The hardest thing is to tell them they can't, 'You've got to wait.' Because in their mind, they can." Gonzalez is in camp and playing catch with throws at about 75-percent effort from 120 feet. It won't be much longer before he's on the mound. "I'm going to start throwing curveballs next week," he said. Old home week: Tom Glavine's locker is back where it was six years ago, next to those belong to John Smoltz and Chipper Jones on seniors row just before you get to the equipment room in the Braves' spring-training clubhouse.
Lawmen arrest 2 in Lufkin motel meth bust
Authorities on Wednesday surprised two men and a woman in a Lufkin motel room that contained the kind of equipment used to cook methamphetamine. Inside a corner room at Motel 6 on Timberland Drive, investigators acting on an anonymous tip found a couple ounces of unfinished meth — nearly three times what the department typically finds, said investigator Allen Hill of the Angelina County Sheriff's Office. Lufkin police arrested Scott Hodge and Matthew Sherman, charging both with manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance. The woman was detained and later released. Several glass bottles filled with chemicals cluttered the dresser of motel room 148 as investigators identified the contents of each. Hill said the smell of toxic chemicals, including red phosphorus, camping fuel and antifreeze, was overpowering in the room when investigators surprised the three inside.
A journey from cancer to champion for Sox' Lester
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Winning the deciding game of the World Series, the part everyone else remembers and celebrates, he doesn't dwell on, maybe because Jon Lester is determined to be known as something other than Celebrity Cancer Boy. But some of the tender mercies along the way, the improbable sweeteners to an arduous journey that took him from the blunt harshness of a doctor's diagnosis to the champagne-splattered embraces of his Red Sox teammates last October, Jon Lester is not liable to forget. Here is one. The day before he was scheduled to undergo a chemotherapy treatment, he and his uncle arose at 4 a.m. and with a guide drove through the Olympic Mountains to the Humptulips River, a swath of white water that cuts through the mountains of his native Washington state.
