Old School Exhibition: Red Sox vs Dodgers

The baseball diamond at the Los Angeles Coliseum is being prepared for the Los Angeles Dodgers exhibition baseball game against the Boston Red Sox Saturday. The Dodgers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their move to Los Angeles.

The Dodgers said Friday that the full allotment of 115,300 tickets—with all the proceeds going to ThinkCure, the Dodgers’ official charity—have been sold, including about 25,000 for standing-room only behind the lower fence in right and center fields. Two big-screen TVs will make it possible to watch the action.

Baseball’s current world record is an estimated 114,000 for an exhibition game between the Australian national team and an American services team during the Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia, in 1956.

"Chipotle Mexican Grill is the Bono of the fast-food business."

The ingredients that make Chipotle the hottest fast-food chain on the planet.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is the Bono of the fast-food business. Hardheaded financial analysts love it; do-gooders do too. "Chipotle has done a wonderful job of meeting people's sociological need to eat food that's healthy for the planet," says Dean Haskell, a senior VP at equity researcher Morgan Joseph. Bernard Rollin, a distinguished professor of animal sciences at Colorado State University, gushes about Chipotle's focus on hormone- and antibiotic-free meat that is humanely raised. Then he adds, "Have you eaten there? It's really good."

Good food wrapped in a socially responsible message has created legions of Chipotle fans -- and a superhot business. Acquired by McDonald's in 1998 when there were only 14 Chipotles, the company went public in 2006 with 500 stores and watched its stock rise from $22 to $110 in 18 months. The now-independent outfit is enjoying an 80% revenue run-up over three years, and by year's end, it will have 840 stores and top $1 billion in annual sales.

RC Sproul interviews Ben Stein

About six weeks ago, Mr. Ben Stein joined Dr. R.C. Sproul for a delightful and stimulating conversation about the current state of free scientific inquiry in academia. We have posted the video below.

Many of you may recognize Mr. Stein as the teacher in the 1986 film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but he is also a writer, public speaker, and political activist. Recently, he became deeply involved in a film project that challenges the neo-Darwinian scientific community and exposes their hostility to intelligent design and all those who believe in it. The producers of Renewing Your Mind caught up with Mr. Stein during a preview of his new film entitled Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. The movie opens nationwide April 18. (In this reviewer's opinion, the Stein/Dawkins face off at the end of the film is worth the price of admission.)
