A charity baseball game between two hospitals was held two Fridays ago (June 13, 2008) and our very own JCMC won the match. I asked the photographer (devine338/Sonia Pagan) about it and she provided me with this information:

According to JCConstruction blog, Bally is expected to open this July. But after a quick phone call last week, I learned that it is going to delay the opening date.
The lady that I talked to told me they will open late August or early September. Praveen, a JCRegister.com visitor, commented the same thing.
I called again yesterday afternoon, and the guy on the other line said that BALLY’s JC will open in two months — around late August.

Please take note that I have not personally visited the place (I don’t have a child yet), therefore, I won’t be able to write an honest review.

Carter, who earned $18 million this year (salary and endorsements combined), slipped dramatically from 23 spot down to 32.
If this is an indication of how an athlete performs, I say the data is correct. Unless Carter - nicknamed “half-man, half-amazing” because of his spectacular plays during his younger years - raises his game to another level, expect his $$$ to continue to drop. (Oh, wait he just got another contract extension!)
