After just two starts in Class AAA, Jamie Moyer's been released by the Blue Jays, his third organization this season... but he says he wants to keep pitching.

Two weeks ago, Jamie Moyer was released for the third time this season (Rockies, Orioles, Blue Jays).
And so now he's got time to play golf! That's what retired people do, often. But Moyer says he's not retired! Tom Mahon:
JAMIE MOYER wanted to make it clear. So clear that he said it twice:
"I'm not retired. I'm not retired," he said Wednesday at a news conference at the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe, Nev. "I'm just kind of laying in the weeds and just trying to figure out what's going on."
("JAMIE MOYER" is in caps in that quote because those were the first two words of the article, a stylistic device, not the writer trying to make any kind of point.)
Moyer went on to say that he doesn't see himself coming back as a relief specialist, only as a starter or long reliever. He's got his agent out looking for a spot, but "so far there aren't any takers."
Enough teams are looking for pitching that someone might take a flyer on him. He's out there! Playing golf! But he wants to play baseball again! Won't you please help, major-league GMs?
Is it over?
Blue Jays officially release Jamie Moyer from the 51s Roster.— Las Vegas 51s (@LasVegas51s) July 6, 2012
Moyer's now got more releases (3) than major-league wins (2) this year.
At 49, that's not a good thing. Or for that matter, at 39 or 29.
Moyer, who opened the season in the Rockies' rotation, has now been released by the Rockies, the Orioles, and the Blue Jays. Moyer seemed like a good fit with Toronto, as that club went through a stretch of losing starting pitchers like Spinal Tap loses drummers.
But Moyer started only twice for the Jays' triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, and racked up an 8.18 ERA.
Will he find a fourth employer this summer? It seems unlikely. In his defense, Moyer's got a brilliant strikeout-to-walk ratio in 27 triple-A innings this season. But he also gave up four home runs in those 27 innings. More to the point, there's a big difference between following triple-A hitters and surviving against the big leaguers.
Then again, Moyer couldn't be any worse than Jonathan Sanchez ...
The ongoing 2012 road show of veteran pitcher Jamie Moyer is now heading north of the border, as the 49-year-old lefthander signed a minor-league deal with the Toronto Blue Jays:
Jays have signed Jamie Moyer to minor-league deal with no promises. He'll go to Las Vegas.
— John Lott (@LottOnBaseball) June 26, 2012
So, before he pitches for the Jays in Canada, he'll head to the bright lights of Vegas. This sounds like a movie script, or at least the basis for a Jack Kerouac-style novel.
The Blue Jays could use the pitching help, as they had several starting pitchers go down with injuries within a very short period of time. If Moyer shows up well in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, the Blue Jays could very well give him another major-league chance.
Moyer threw well in three starts for Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles' organization, posting a 1.69 ERA and issuing just one walk in 16 innings. If he throws that well in Vegas… what happens in Vegas probably won't stay in Vegas.

Jamie Moyer requested and has been granted his release from the Baltimore Orioles, the team announced Saturday. His brief stay with the organization consisted of three starts for Triple-A Norfolk, where he posted a 1.69 ERA (0.68 WHIP) with 16 strikeouts in 16 innings.
Despite the fine numbers, Moyer simply wasn't needed at the big-league level. The team asked the 49-year-old veteran to make at least one more start for Norfolk, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette confirmed on Friday, but he apparently declined. Once again a free agent, it's likely that Moyer will continue to seek another big-league job.
Moyer opened the season with the Colorado Rockies, posting a 5.70 ERA (1.73 WHIP) in 10 starts before being released earlier this month. He signed with the Orioles on June 6 with the understanding that he'd make three minor-league starts before being re-evaluated.
For more on the Orioles, please visit Camden Chat.
Jamie Moyer might be getting close to a return to the major leagues, with the Baltimore Orioles.
Jamie Moyer is scheduled to make his third start tonight for Triple-A Norfolk, and executive vice president Dan Duquette is nearing a decision on the 49-year-old southpaw, according to the timetable he set after signing Moyer to a minor league contract.
Duquette said the Orioles would evaluate Moyer for two or three starts. Moyer has allowed two earned runs (three total) and eight hits in 12 innings, with no walks and 12 strikeouts. If he shuts down Buffalo tonight, that might be good enough to get him back in the majors after the Rockies released him.
That's pretty good performance at Triple-A, notably the zero walks. Kubatko says the Orioles have a couple of rotation starters — Tommy Hunter and Jake Arrieta — who have been struggling, and who both have minor-league options remaining.
Jamie Moyer's had a remarkable career; now, his latest comeback might put him in the midst of a pennant race.

The Jamie Moyer saga isn't over yet:
#orioles agree to terms with Jamie Moyer. Starting Saturday for Norfolk
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) June 6, 2012
The Orioles are currently tied with the Rays for first place in the AL East, though they have slipped a bit, losing seven of their nine games going into Wednesday. And two of their starting pitchers, Tommy Hunter and Jake Arrieta, have ERA's well above 5.
This is a minor-league deal and there's no guarantee Moyer will pitch anywhere but Norfolk. He last pitched in the minor leagues in 1997, when he made a rehab start at Tacoma while with the Mariners.
It will also be Moyer's second stint with Baltimore, if he makes it back; he pitched for the Orioles from 1993 through '95.
In 1993, one of his teammates with the O's was Fernando Valenzuela.

There's been no official news release from the Colorado Rockies, but according to CBS Sports' transaction page, the inevitable has happened, summed up in one simple line of digital type:
Colorado Rockies | Jamie Moyer | Released
In fact, according to the page, it happened Sunday, quietly, on a weekend when no one was watching. This wasn't unexpected after Moyer was designated for assignment last Wednesday; he's obviously cleared waivers and the Rockies had no interest from other teams in trading for him.
Moyer still wants to pitch, and given the dearth of starting-pitching options for many teams that have injury issues, it seems quite likely that Moyer will get some offers, or at least inquiries. He pitched pretty well at Coors Field this season; if a pitcher can do that, it would seem that a team with a big ballpark (since Moyer has allowed 11 home runs this season) might find him helpful.
We await developments. So does Moyer. He'd surely like to go out of baseball on his terms, not via "Released."
For more on the Rockies, please visit Purple Row and SB Nation Denver.
Is Jamie Moyer's career over? It shouldn't be. Plenty of teams could use him, including one from his very recent past.
Jamie Moyer was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies, partly because he was getting hit hard, and partly because he didn't have a long-term future on a team that had set fire to the short-tem. And the Rockies have found their replacement for Moyer in Josh Outman, who will start on Friday. From MLB.com:
"The way it was put to me was that this isn't going to be a spot-start," Outman said. "It's going to be the first step in stretching me out to be a starter for the long haul."
Outman hasn't pitched more than an inning in relief this season, so his start on Friday will likely be a short one. But the Rockies seem committed to the experiment, and he should get more than one start.
Outman was acquired from the Athletics in the Seth Smith trade, and he has a career 3.92 ERA (108 ERA+) in 156 career innings. He posted a 1.29 ERA in seven minor-league appearances this year.
The Colorado Rockies designated Jamie Moyer for assignment on Wednesday, and that could be the end of Moyer's career.
Or maybe it won't. While Moyer was getting hit hard — a 5.70 ERA — half of his 10 starts could be characterized as at least "decent", and several big-name pitchers, including Ubaldo Jimenez and Tim Lincecum, currently have higher ERAs than Moyer.
So is this the end for Moyer? Not if he can help it:
Asked if he is interested in trying to continue to pitch, Moyer said "I am."
For now, though, Moyer has a few days to kick back.
"I'm going to go home (Wednesday night) and go to a high school graduation on Saturday," he said in reference to the coming event for Hunter, his second-oldest son. "His team (Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego) is in the playoffs so after the graduation we will to go a baseball game."
So maybe he can treat this as a bit of an in-season vacation. The 10-day DFA period means that other teams might contact the Rockies with interest. There are teams that have pitching issues at this time. Somehow, I don't think the final chapter of Jamie Moyer's MLB career has yet been written.
It was a nice story. Jamie Moyer turns 50 in November. He was still pitching for a major-league baseball team. After a spring-training invitation and a good spring, the 49-year-old lefty made the Colorado Rockies' rotation, and that meant he got to set all sorts of records whenever he pitched. He was the oldest player to record a win. He was the oldest player to record an RBI. He was the oldest player to allow a home run to a guy who threw his bat at the ball.
But on Wednesday, he became the oldest player to be designated for assignment:
Rockies designate Jamie Moyer for assignment.— Tracy Ringolsby (@ROOTSPORTS_TR) May 30, 2012
Moyer had a 5.70 ERA in 10 starts with the Rockies, allowing a league-high 75 hits in 53 innings. He also allowed 11 home runs, which is a lot even by Coors Field standards. With the Rockies looking to get their young pitchers some innings in the rotation, Moyer was clearly expendable.
But it's worth a moment to stop with the silly jokes (which we've all made) and think about how incredible it was that Moyer could get even a single out in the major leagues. He was born in the same year as Oddibe McDowell, Danny Tartabull, and Wally Joyner. Kevin Seitzer, Darren Daulton, Darryl Strawberry.
He's 12 days older than Bo Jackson.
And he was designated for assignment, not put to sleep. He could still pitch. He probably doesn't have a lot left, but it's possible. Here's hoping ...
To replace Moyer in the rotation, the Rockies called up Carlos Torres, a 29-year-old right-hander who had a 2.45 ERA and 32/12 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 33 innings at Colorado Springs.

Jamie Moyer's been pounded in his last two starts, and his 5.70 ERA this season leads to some uncomfortable questions about the ancient southpaw.
The Denver Post's Troy Renck on record-setting Jamie Moyer:
While his signing was viewed as a novelty act, Moyer has been the Rockies' best starting pitcher this season. He didn't walk clumsily into history against San Diego, instead embracing it with pitches on the corners and at all different speeds. Moyer worked seven innings, allowing no earned runs on six hits. His lone strikeout victim was Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin, who swung so hard he fell to his knees in the sixth inning.
The Brooklyn Dodgers' Jack Quinn was the previous oldest pitcher to win a game, topping the St. Louis Cardinals in 1932 at 49 years, 70 days.
"I kind of wish I was a baseball historian, and I am a little embarrassed that I don't know more about it," Moyer said. "To have my name mentioned with the greats of the past is special."
Well, it's not exactly like Jack Quinn's a household name; the spitballer once went 9-22 in a Federal League season, finished his career with 247 wins, and topped out with nine Hall of Fame votes.*
* If you want know more about Jack Quinn, here's an excellent profile via the SABR BioProject.
Anyway, I can't hold anything against Moyer for not being a baseball historian. He's spent the last 25 years studying hitters, and it's hard to argue that he should have been spending that time studying anything else.
I never really thought of Moyer as a novelty act; the Rockies seemed at least moderately serious about contending this season, and management couldn't have imagined that Moyer's spring-training tryout would goose season-ticket sales or something. I think their starting pitching was somewhat thin, and they just figured what the hell. And yes, baseball people do love a good story. Maybe management just wanted to be close in case Moyer really could still pitch.
I didn't think he could still pitch. Not well enough, anyway. But yes, he (arguably) has been the Rockies' best starting pitcher this season. Granted, the Rockies' starting pitchers have been terrible. Moyer's ERA is now 2.55; the next-best ERA among the starters is Jhoulys Chacin's 5.63.
But Moyer has struck out six batters in 17⅔ innings. It's difficult to succeed that way. But if Moyer keeps the ball down -- I mean, really keeps the ball down -- it's possible.
On April 17, Rockies left-hander Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher in major-league history to win a game.
Looking for "oldest player to..." things about Jamie Moyer? You won't find them here, just a tribute to a man who completed a remarkable comeback on Saturday.
Jamie Moyer and Omar Vizquel are both ancient, by baseball's standards. Will either of them still be around for Opening Day 2013? And if not, who will take their places?
So this is really going to happen. Barring a terribly disappointing injury in the next few days, Jamie Moyer will soon become the second-oldest man to start a game in Major League Baseball's long history, and the oldest to start more than once.
In 1965, Satchel Paige started one game for the Kansas City Athletics. He was 58 years old, and pitched three scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox. But that was obviously a stunt; it was Paige's first appearance in the majors since 1953, and would be his last.
Aside from Paige, the oldest major-league starter was Phil Niekro, 48 when he made 26 starts in 1987.
Satchel Paige was a performer; Phil Niekro was a knuckleballer. Meanwhile, Jamie Moyer is just another (relatively) conventional pitcher, except that he's 49 years old and has officially earned a spot in the Colorado Rockies' pitching rotation. That's the word from Troy Renck (who's been on this story from Day 1 of spring training).
Even better, Moyer's actually going to be the Rockies' No. 2 starter, with the lefty slotted between right-handers Jeremy Guthrie and Juan Nicasio.
Obviously, there's no telling how long Moyer will last. Past the All-Star break will be an upset, though, as injuries or ineffectiveness are likely to take their toll as Moyer does something that nobody's ever done before.
Still, one start or 30 starts, Jamie Moyer is an amazing athlete and won't soon be forgotten.
For more on Moyer and the Rockies, please visit Purple Row.
Jamie Moyer's outing on Wednesday could have clinched a spot in the Rockies' starting rotation for him, especially after his last start, which was four perfect innings against the Giants.
Unfortunately, Moyer had a rough time against the White Sox, throwing 89 pitches over four innings, giving up seven hits, three walks and three runs, hitting a batter and throwing a wild pitch.
Nevertheless, as of now, he's still on target to open the season with Colorado. Troy Renck:
Moyer remains the favorite to secure the fifth spot in the rotation, ahead of Guillermo Moscoso and Tyler Chatwood. In fact, it wouldn't be a shock to see him slot higher to create diversity. As it stands, the Rockies' order in spring games is Jeremy Guthrie, Moyer, Juan Nicasio, Jhoulys Chacin and Drew Pomeranz. Splitting two hard-throw right-handers with a pillow-tossing lefty would be an interesting strategy, one that has likely been tossed around by Rockies' officials.
"Pillow-tossing". You know, that would actually be interesting to watch. The way Moyer throws, hitters would probably have less of a chance to hit a pillow he threw, than a baseball, even though the pillow is much larger.
Moyer will have one more spring start, early next week against the Mariners, and if he shows well in that start, he'll probably head back to Colorado as a Rockie. Besides, we need more players like this:
As Jamie Moyer spiked a curveball in the third inning today against the White Sox, he screamed at himself. "(Gosh darn) Jamie, Let's get it going!"
After pitching hardly at all this spring, 49-year-old Jamie Moyer's comeback attempt just got a big boost. Thomas Harding (via MLB.com):
Jamie Moyer pitched four spotless innings with four strikeouts and Michael Cuddyer hit his first home run of the spring as the Rockies beat the Giants, 7-0, at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Thursday night.
Moyer, throwing in a Cactus League game for the first time since Mach 11 because he needed time to rest a sore left leg, used just 45 pitches -- 30 of which were strikes. A non-roster invitee, Moyer, 49, is trying to return to the Majors after missing a year and a half because of elbow surgery.
Moyer's hardly locked up the fifth rotation slot; he just hasn't pitched enough innings this spring for that. But according to Troy Renck, Moyer's now the leading candidate, ahead of Tyler Chatwood and Guillermo Moscoso.
I'm still not convinced this is a good idea, considering a) how Moyer pitched in 2010, and b) Coors Field. But of course, it's impossible to help pulling for him to pitch again in the majors, and pitch well.
Jamie Moyer's comeback this spring with the Colorado Rockies hasn't gone brilliantly, yet. But of course it's something of a miracle that he's pitching at all. Considering, you know, that he's coming off major elbow surgery. And is 49 years old.
One thing you might have forgotten about Jamie Moyer -- I forgot it, anyway -- is that in 1991 he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals, managed by Joe Torre. And you wouldn't be the only one. Tyler Kepner:
It was so forgettable that Torre, as the Yankees' manager, would claim that Moyer had pitched for him only in spring training. But Moyer never forgot.
"I know at least two or three of those starts, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, and I got tally-whacked around," Moyer said. "But I do remember pitching a couple good games and losing. So I was 0-5 after seven starts, and I get called into the office. We're in Pittsburgh, I had a horrible night the night before, I think Bonds might have hit two home runs off me, and I know what's going to happen.
"Joe Torre is the manager, and he looks at me and says, 'This is really tough.' But waiting in the wings was Omar Olivares, who was their big prospect at the time. And Joe looked at me and he said — I remember it as if it was yesterday – 'We don't win when you pitch.'
"I'm thinking to myself, 'O.K., Joe, not that I'm a good hitter, but I don't hit in those other eight spots.' I took it as though he didn't know what to tell me. I was right shy of five years. I was a little bit bitter.
Moyer's memory is fine, 21 years later. He did give up two home runs, both to Bonds, in the second and third innings. And the pitch that Bonds hit for the second homer was the last pitch Moyer threw for the St. Louis Cardinals.
You can't blame for Moyer for being bitter, at the time. Getting fired from your job's no fun. But you can't really blame Torre for firing Moyer, either. At the time, his ERA stood at 5.74 and he'd walked 16 batters in 31 innings. Yes, he'd pitched a few decent games -- Game Scores of 65, 56, 53, 46 -- and could easily have won a couple of them. The problem was that he was either decent or terrible in his seven starts, but never excellent.
And there wasn't any reason to think he would ever be excellent, even for a short stretch. At that point, Moyer had thrown exactly 700 innings in the majors, with a 4.56 ERA and 1.56 strikeout-to-walk ratio. In those (and these) days, you could get away with the latter figure only if you were particularly good at limiting home runs, and Moyer wasn't.
He simply hadn't learned to pitch effectively with his limited stuff, and really wouldn't learn until two years later, when he pitched for the Orioles' triple-A affiliate. He was 30, and nobody could have guessed, however wildly, that 19 years later he would be bidding for a spot in a major-league rotation.
The bid continues tomorrow night, when Moyer makes just second start this spring against big-league hitters. His time is growing short, his tooth growing long.
Jamie Moyer is 49 years old. He's got stiffness in his leg. Who doesn't at that age? For Moyer, though, it's a bit more important an issue.

Fall Update from SCS Computing Facilities
Members of SCS,
Here is the fall update on improvements and new services from SCS Computing Facilities during the last six months. We welcome your feedback.
* AUDIO-VIDEO SUPPORT: Facilities now provides support for A/V equipment (projectors, etc. in SCS conference rooms and classrooms). Send requests to av-help@cs, or call the SCS A/V help line (x8-2608) directly. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/news/archives/avannounce.html
* TRAINING PROGRAM: We have established a short training program for new administrative staff, providing one-on-one introduction to the SCS computing environment. The feedback is very positive. Be sure to tell us about any new administrative staff in your area, and we'll get them up to speed on how to compute in SCS.
* IMMIGRATION COURSE: We revised the documents and the format of the booklets for this year's incoming grad students; the booklets are smaller, they include a Quick Reference Guide, a CD with all the latest documents, and URL's to our Help pages. Contact the Help Desk if you'd like a copy.
* GRAD PC's: This year, we built 119 new grad-pc's in less than 3 days. The new PC is a great configuration at a great price; it includes a DVD-writer. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/gradpc/ . It is one of our recommended configurations: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/purchasing/recommended_pcs.html#desktops .
* PRINT SERVERS: We upgraded all SCS print servers (and you didn't even notice, did you?) The upgrade included replacing all the hardware (newer, more powerful) and updating all the software to the latest available. There were no user changes or disruptions.
* WINDOWS ACTIVE DIRECTORY: We upgraded all Windows servers to the latest version of Microsoft Server 2003.
* MACHINE ROOM: The number of systems in our machine room in Wean hall (MR-A) increased by more than 10% since last spring; the current count is 560 (and growing!)
* iPASS: This service continues to grow in popularity and extent of use for our travelers. The vendor continues to add hotspots and airports; the Windows GUI was updated to simplify lookup of connections for your location; and, iPass has recently added the ConnexionByBoeing service on many trans-atlantic and trans-pacific flights (currently about 100 flights per day) to keep you connected on long flights! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/networking/ipass.html .
* VPN: We have acquired, and will soon deploy, a second VPN controller to provide redundancy (reduced interruptions) for your vpn connections.
* NETWORK MANAGEMENT: We upgraded our network tools and systems for monitoring and managing the SCS network; these upgrades enable better security, trouble-shooting, and overall management of our network traffic.
* LINUX PORTS: We completed ports of Fedora Core 3 in time for installation on all the new grad PC's (119). It is available for Intel (i386) 32-bit and Intel's or AMD's 64-bit (Xeon or Opteron) processors.
* SOLARIS PORT: The port of Solaris-10 is underway; more news later.
* WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES: Windows Terminal Services is now available in production mode. This service is intended for use by the person who uses Linux for their primary day-to-day computing environment, but needs to use Windows programs, especially Microsoft Office, some of the time. Give it a try and let us know what you think. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/unix_linux/terminal.services.html
* CORVID is the new name of our new email infrastructure which is based on Cyrus, and provides both IMAP and POP-3 protocols. It already has 1,000 users on it (starting August, 2004); we still have about 1,500 users to move to it from the old system. It is performing very well. We'll send you more details separately.
* SMTPAUTH: We have been providing SMTPAUTH service in beta test mode for some time now. It provides a simpler means of accessing email remotely without a VPN connection. Look for production deployment later this year. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/mail_news/smtp_auth.html .
* ANTI-SPAM and ANTI-VIRUS measures are now being applied via our Sophos servers to all incoming email bound for the CORVID infrastructure.
* SENDMAIL is the new (for us) MTA that we are using to replace MMDF as part of CORVID. Many of the servers have already been upgraded; this upgrade process will continue through the next few months, ultimately eliminating any reliance on MMDF.
* MAILMAN is our chosen mailing list manager for CORVID; it has many features that have been requested during the last few years. We have been migrating lists for several months now, using a phased approach (we contact you); this will continue during the coming months. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/mail_news/mailman/index.html .
* LDAP: We have begun the deployment of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) into our CORVID infrastructure, with the long-term goal or replacing legacy white pages and aliases files. Ultimately, this will enable efficient email lookup and address resolution, without any reliance on AFS. This service will be phased-in over the coming months. Support for the legacy white pages and aliases files will be maintained for a period of time while older MMDF platforms are phased out.
* WEBMAIL: In June, we deployed new server hardware and made software changes to our Webmail servers to dramatically improve performance.
* EXCHANGE SERVERS: The SCS Exchange servers are currently undergoing significant upgrades to both hardware and software. New versions of Exchange 2003 are being installed which will improve the performance of the system, offer more comprehensive anti-spam functionality using Microsoft's new Intelligent Mail Filter feature and provide a much improved web based interface which will look and behave very much like the native Outlook email client. Targeted to be complete by December of this year.
* WWW-2.CS.CMU.EDU: You probably know that we successfully eliminated www-2.cs in August. All previous references to www-2 will continue to work but the address bar will now show www.cs. For more details: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/news/archives/www-2retire.announc.html .
* ONLINE PHD APPLICATION SYSTEM: We deployed the second generation of this application in time for the beginning of the 2006 PhD admission period. This latest version incorporates new features for applicant submission, but also supports modifications to the admission selection process. Additional versions are being developed for additional programs for the 2006 academic year; these include the Joint CMU-PITT PhD Program in Computational Biology and the Master in Software Engineering program.
We are interested in your feedback; please send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you,

Trainyard is a puzzle solving game unlike any that you've ever played. It's easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isn't a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle. The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases you'll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, you'll have to use colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge and split trains, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game.
Trainyard is a Puzzle/Action Puzzle video game for iPhone published by Apple on June 10, 2010. It's rated Not-Rated by the ESRB and no users have rated it yet.
Our newest cheats for Trainyard were added November 13, 2010.

Nick Lampson is a people person.
During his last two years as a United States representative, he attended nearly 400 meetings within his district in the approximately 830 days he spent in office, listening to people talk about their concerns and crises.
It was tough, he said, but he believes that listening to people is far more useful to his job than flapping his jaw. At some of those meetings, there were only a handful of people gathering to participate in their democracy, but that did not matter to Lampson. He loves people, he said.
"Sometimes it was just the people who lived at the house there," he said, "but you got to do it."
The Beaumont-based Democrat has served in public office for more than a decade, representing a swath of land in Southeast Texas after serving Jefferson County as the tax assessor-collector for almost twice that time. And now he wants to represent District 14 in the U.S. House of Representatives for two more years.
Teaching led Lampson, 67, to public office. He became a science teacher after graduating from Lamar University, where he received a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's in higher education administration. But the person who got him to write down his goals was then Gov. John Connally Jr. They met at a state students meeting in 1967.
"He took the time to talk to me and inspired me to run for public office," Lampson said. "And I've been running almost ever since."
On this run, Lampson has one main objective: civil discourse in Congress. Forget about all those other lofty goals like balancing the budget and creating jobs (which he wants to do, too) because they would not get done without an open means of communication, he said.
"Without people working together, we will get exactly what we have right now, and that's gridlock," he said. "No results, no solutions, and it's got to change."
Lampson started a similar effort during a previous term in Congress. Following the murder of a young girl, Lampson met with her parents and decided he would try to do something to help protect children. He created the first Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, which instituted the national Amber Alert system. It became the largest bipartisan caucus in the House of Representatives.
"It pulled people together," Lampson said. "It made me realize this is the way this stuff is really and truly supposed to work."
After that, he started seeking out moderates — those members of Congress who cling to the center aisle — and asking them to have coffee. Thus, the Center Aisle Caucus was born. The only rule was that each member had to bring someone from the opposing party to the caucus.
And where those opposite ends of the political spectrum meet — at the center aisle — is the same place Lampson wants to discuss improving the nation's education and health care systems. He wants to bring the outside voices of the experts to the center aisle, as well, to draft some plausible yet effective solutions to those problems.
"I really think I am an asset that this community has within its midst," he said. "I have a knowledge of process and issues that's been developed over four decades of public service and 10 years of service in Congress. The qualifications I have should put me in a position to be almost irreplaceable in my ability to do something immediately for this community, and I just am hoping the public will recognize that."

Google Sued in Domainer Lawsuit–Vulcan Golf v. Google from Eric Goldman covers a new lawsuit in which Google is being sued for allegedly violating trademarks by helping domainers monetize "typosquatter" domains.
Eric explains that this filing (4.3MB PDF) may be the first lawsuit against Google for its domainer relationships. The complaint considers Google as the domain name licensee, because AdSense for Domains effectively takes control of domains in the program.
Google's policies aren't supposed to allow typo domains to be in its program, but these get through. And since Google puts ads on them, the case alleges Google is contributing to trademark infringement.

I really loved this recipe! However, I did make a few simple changes. I added about 2 cups of cherries and baked the cake in an 8x8 glass dish which had to be greased and floured. The cake was beautiful~it was moist and had a slight crunch to the outside. I mixed up a little milk and confectioners' sugar to make a quick glaze to pour over the top for additional sweetness! The cake disappeared~we will make this cake again! Thank you for the recipe!!
A very moist coffe cake bursting with fresh cherries! I used 2 cups like most of the others suggested. Instead of oil I used 1/2 c. Land O lakes light butter that I creamed together with the 1 c. of white sugar until light and fluffy. Then I added each egg one at a time to that mixture followed by the vanilla, and milk and an addition of 1/2 tsp. of almond extract. I baked mine in a prepared 8x8 glass baking dish (used Pam for baking) and baked it at 350 for 55 minutes. I topped it with a glaze made from 1 c. of confectioners sugar and 2 Tbsp. of milk. Next time I might top this with sliced almonds - it's a keeper for cherry season.
Great recipe! I actually made muffins out of the batter instead of making the whole cake. They were a hit...YUM!

Westminster approves more police coverageBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 03,2013WESTMINSTER Residents approved hiring the Windham County Sheriffs Department to give additional police coverage in the face of increased crime in Westminster, voters at town meeting decided Saturday.
On a close voice vote, the plan to join with Putney to hire the Sheriffs Department was accepted, but not before debate on the role of law enforcement in a small town. Westminster will get close to 40 hours of coverage under the plan; it currently has about 15 hours of coverage per week.
A motion to limit the Sheriffs Departments traffic control efforts to 10 hours out of the 35 hours per week failed on an overwhelming voice vote.
Proponents of limiting the speed enforcement said it would hurt townspeople in the long run.
Several residents and business owners who have been victims of burglaries in the past year or so spoke in favor of hiring the Sheriffs Department, adding $37,000 to the $1.8 million town budget, which was later approved on a unanimous voice vote.
The Select Board will work with Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark a resident of Westminster to determine the time and focus of the police work.
Residents complained that they got short shrift from Vermont State Police, saying they often had to wait hours for troopers to show up to investigate property crimes.
But others said that hiring the Sheriffs Department was a waste of money.
One business owner said he had been burglarized and vandalized close to a dozen times in recent years with no action by police.
Selectman Craig Allen said it was a one-year experiment, and that townspeople would decide the future of the plan in a year.
Allen said businesses are investing in private surveillance cameras, but even when the alarm goes off, the state police dont come.
Other people said they would welcome the increased presence of an officer in town to cut down on speeding on busy town roads.
I support this highly, said Babetta Lynds, a town lister, adding that she constantly hears the complaint Where are the cops when you need them?
She said crime in town was not limited to burglaries, but also included domestic abuse and noise.
We need somebody in the middle of the night, said resident John Cook.
He said the police contract amounted to chump change, an assertion that was greeted with applause.
In addition to passing the town budget without a single question, voters also approved $130,000 for the highway equipment reserve fund, $15,000 for the bridge rehabilitation reserve fund, and $2,500 for the Westminster Recreation Club, which runs the towns swimming area.
The town also approved giving delinquent taxpayers a break on the late penalty, cutting it from 8 percent to 3 percent, if all taxes are paid within 30 days of the second installment due date.
The town also gave a standing ovation to longtime Selectman Paul Harlow, who is retiring after 16 years of service about half that time serving as chairman.
Harlow, a well-known organic vegetable farmer, said he felt it was time for new blood on the board. He thanked former town managers, current and former board members, town clerks and others for their help and support, as well as his large, extended family.
While there have been differences on the board, he said, we all wanted what was best for Westminster.
The 2012 annual report was also dedicated to Harlows long town service, including his volunteerism with local schoolchildren, teaching them the basics of gardening.
Paul is a rare individual that gives all he has, solely for the betterment of his fellow citizens, the dedication said.
Allen presented Harlow with a plaque in honor of his long service.
Town candidates and union school budgets will be voted by ballot from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Westminster Institute.

Elizabeth "Liz" Moulthrop is playing for change, literally. The Columbia High School Class of 2007 graduate has established a non-profit organiztion called Notes for Change. After a first successful year, the group looks to future success.
Notes for Change holds a concert on June 8 at Grace Church in Montclair that features a number of her fellow CHS alums and benefits the program, which brings music to the children of Pisco, Peru.
Moulthrop, who grew up in South Orange, explains in her blog that she first visited the coastal city in 2008, when Pisco was recovering from a devastating earthquake. "In addition to construction work, the group ran extracurricular programs for children through a variety of already existing after-school and church programs. I have been fortunate enough to return every summer since then with friends and family and have seen that there are still lingering effects from the earthquake," explains Moulthrop.
While studying music education with a concentration in violin at Temple University, Mouthrop considered how best to use her talents in Pisco. "Through opening discussion with my family, friends, and mentors I have been brainstorming ways in which I can use my skills as a music educator to meet some of the social needs of the city," she writes. She decided to use her musical knowledge to benefit Pisco.
"I would eventually like to see a sustainable children's music program operating in Pisco, however, that vision seems rather distant right now and there are many steps to be taken before that can be realized. One of those steps is implementing a low cost, temporary after school music program in July 2011 as a pilot project in order to poll community interest and test the feasibility of such a program," she explains. The program is now set for mid-July to mid-August of this year, and qualified volunteers will teach children music, using music that is already part of the daily culture of Peru.
The fundraiser concert, which has a free-will offering rather than a set ticket price, will feature CHS alums as well as many other musicians.
"I dream of a successful, self-sustaining music program that provides children with social services and fosters the growth of character, skills, and hope," explains Moulthrop of her greater vision. "I cannot change the nature of their material poverty but can only hope to use the humble skills that I have in order to provide meaningful experiences for the children and their community, the very people who have given me transformative life experiences."
If you cannot attend but are still interested in supporting the program, checks can be made payable to Notes for Change, Inc. and mailed to 367 Hartford Rd. South Orange NJ 07079. You can also donate via Paypal through the website.

Correction: It's the Actors Acting Opposite Andy Serkis Who Deserve Oscars
You can't argue with this photo's evidence.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
You can't argue with this photo's evidence.
Not the Disney one. The other one.
The sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
"The key is to act like you have a furball."
It will be mostly motion capture, obvs.
At Patton Oswalt's suggestion.
You could literally put Andy Serkis in a monkey costume and we'd still be tearing up by the end of this scene.
And a few of his worsts, as well.
"I got over my embarrassment about wearing a very tight spandex suit when I was wearing it 6,000 feet up a volcano in front of 200 crew members."
"The category of animation should be under review."
He's the first returning player to be locked in.
Featuring pretty scenery and Andy Serkis taking his post as the second-unit director.
Also known as the actor Andy Serkis.
It's a nice distraction from that nasty battle he's having with a New Zealand union.
Plus: Gore Verbinski negotiating to direct 'Walter Mitty.'
Plus: Rob Marshall! Steven Spielberg! Danny Boyle!
Plus industry news on Andy Serkis, Alan Jackson, and Emmy Rossum.

Please contact Kim Allen at 646-3887 if you have a project you would like to submit for next year, FY 2015/16.
FY 2015/16 Project Nomination Form
Enhancing the Community One Project at a Time
Sidewalks, curbs and gutters. New traffic signals, parks and community centers. Many such projects are made possible because of the dedicated neighborhood representatives who sit on the NIP Committee. The Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) Committee makes numerous City projects a reality, projects that might otherwise be delayed or go unfunded.
What do they deal with?
Established in 1985, NIP directs tourist-generated dollars directly back into the City's residential neighborhoods. Under a City Charter Amendment, at least 16 percent of the money collected from hotel taxes (Transient Occupancy Tax) must be spent on neighborhood and community improvements.
Each neighborhood's appointed representative sits on the committee. All representatives are nominated by their respective association and appointed by the City Council. NIP members review all potential projects and recommend to the Council which should be funded.
Community members are encouraged to propose projects each year. The deadline to enter submissions is mid-February each year. Print a NIP Project Nomination Form.
Projects can include improvements to parks and recreational facilities; improvements to other public buildings; upgrades or installation of sidewalks, streets, storm drains, sewers, lighting and traffic control devices; or the purchase of open space.

If anyone maybe received a smaller one and wants a larger one we can even swap, or I'd be willing to take any other Dr. Who shirt. This same problem happened to my sister with the Tuskan Raiders shirt so if you know anyone who wants to trade their smaller one for a big large in that, let me know.
As you can see this Count the Shadows is definitely not the same size as the other ones.

The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA), a member of Saint Clare's Health System, can meet these expectations with highly skilled home health professionals.
We combine the latest healthcare techniques with the compassion and excellence you've come to expect from Saint Clare's and a century-long tradition of service established by the VNA. Whether you need a state-certified home health aide to help out for a few hours a week, skilled nursing or other homecare services, you can feel confident in your decision to turn to the Visiting Nurse Association of Saint Clare's.

Feed conversion rate for chickens
Although it sounds esoteric,
the feed conversion rate is at the heart of raising a sustainable
chicken. Also known as the feed to meat ratio, this number is
simply the pounds of feed given to a chicken divided by the weight of
the cleaned carcass.
notice that pastured chickens actually eat more feed to reach a certain
weight than they would have eaten if they were confined. (Side by
side experiments have confirmed this.) Although we think of
pastured chickens as getting a lot of their nutrition from wild food,
chickens can't digest much grass, so what you're really counting is how
many bugs your birds found. It seems to take broilers more energy
to find bugs than they get from eating those bugs, thus the lower feed
conversion rate on pasture.
Our chicken waterer is essential equipment in a chicken tractor since it never spills on uneven ground.

Perry Farrell says that the next Jane's Addiction LP — tentatively titled The Great Escape Artist — sounds unlike anything else the group has ever created. "It's a strange mixture of that post-punk Goth darkness that Jane's had with what's going on today with groups like Muse and Radiohead," he tells Rolling Stone. "As much as I want to appease fans and make old Jane's fans love me, I just can't help myself from moving forward."
Photos: A Brief History of Jane's Addiction
The band has been working on the album at a Los Angeles studio since early December with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Interpol) and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, who plays bass and is co-writing songs with the band. "The first time we got together with Dave Sitek was in my garage," says Farrell. "I played him music and explained to him how I've been working the last few years on music. He was so for it. He was a proponent of my message and I was a proponent of the way he works, so we just decided to get together. Now he's a real important person in my life."
Sitek has spent hours jamming on loose ideas with Jane's guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins. "Then he'd go back and make clips using bits and pieces from the jams," says Farrell. "That requires hours of listening to jams, which I'm not up for. I enjoy writing lyrics and melodies, but I'm not a great instrumentalist, so I leave it up to the professionals."
Photos: Lollapalooza: The Life, Death and Rebirth of America's Storied Rock Festival
Farrell has spent a lot of time at his home studio, honing ideas away from the rest of the band. "I spend five to eight hours straight," he says. "I like throwing ideas down, recording, taking shots, taking more shots, taking a break, having a drink and stepping outside of the process...We already have enough material for three albums."
The songs all relate to the general theme of The Great Escape Artist. "It's conceptual," Farrell says. "It could be escaping to the outdoors, or the great escape could be in your mind. We might even be able to escape the expectations of the old Jane's fans and come out with another great record." Farrell hopes to have a single out in March, and the album on store shelves sometime in the summer.

Most up-to-date research on "Global Demand, Capacity and Prices for Polypropylene - End-Use Sectors in Asia-Pacific to Drive Growth" to its huge collection of research reports. (http://www.researchmoz.us/global-demand-capacity-and-prices-for-polypropylene-end-use-sectors-in-asia-pacific-to-drive-growth-report.html)
Albany, NY (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, has released its latest research, Global Demand, Capacity and Prices for Polypropylene - End-Use Sectors in Asia-Pacific to Drive Growth. The study comes from the company's oil and gas research group and provides market analysis of the global polypropylene industry, highlighting major features. It gives historic and forecast market size and demand and production figures by region, covering Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East and Africa. It uses data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research, and in-house analysis by GlobalData's team of industry experts.
Browse Detail Report With TOC @ http://www.researchmoz.us/global-demand-capacity-and-prices-for-polypropylene-end-use-sectors-in-asia-pacific-to-drive-growth-report.html
The global polypropylene industry witnessed steady growth between 2003 and 2013 despite the global recession in 2008. Although developed regions such as North America and Europe remained stagnant in terms of both demand and capacity, Asia-Pacific led the recovery with strong demand from major polypropylene end-use sectors such as packaging and electrical. In the next five years, the European market is expected to improve slightly due to Russia's expansion plans; however the North American market is expected to remain stagnant due to market saturation.
Asia-Pacific will remain the growth engine of the global polypropylene industry with its higher-than-average demand growth. To fulfill rising demand, major countries in Asia-Pacific such as China and India are also increasing their production capacity. In the next five years, China and India are likely to add polypropylene capacity of 7.48 million tons per year (mmty) and 1.675 mmty respectively. Overall, polypropylene capacity in Asia-Pacific is expected to increase by around 12 mmty by 2018.

Good pitching often trumps good hitting, and Piedra Vista's pitching did just that to the Durango High School baseball team Friday.
The Panthers held Durango to just three hits and used a three-run fifth inning to pull away for an 8-3 victory Friday night at the Piedra Vista Tournament in Farmington.
Durango entered the game with a .435 team batting average and 79 runs scored. But the Demons just couldn't quite muster the same big scoring performance against Piedra Vista (8-2).
"We saw a good pitcher on the mound," DHS head coach Rob Coddington said. "The guys played aggressive all the way through the end of the game, kept hustling. Just tip your cap to P.V. – they're doing a lot of things right down there right now."
Ben Wiley (0-1) took the loss for the Demons, who dropped to 5-2 on the season.
Coddington said he was pleased with the defensive adjustments made by the Demons late in the game and their work ethic.
"The second half of the game, we played very good defense. We made some really good plays," he said.
DHS will face a familiar foe in its next game of the tournament. DHS is set to meet Fruita Monument at 2 p.m. today in a battle of Southwestern League foes.
"We're looking forward to going down there and getting after them," Coddington said.

The Asbury Park Press wrote, "The Quinnipiac University Poll is considered the gold standard in the business, frequently lauded by USA Today and other national media organizations for its information and accuracy."
For a typical public opinion survey, a randomly selected sample of about 1,000 registered voters age 18 and over is interviewed over five or six days. The polls are conducted at the Polling Institute on West Woods Road, close to the Mount Carmel and York Hill Campuses.

The 2006 Hyosung GV was a cruiser motorcycle that South Korean manufacturer Hyosung Corp. released for the 2006 model year. There are two models of the bike: the GV 250 and GV 650. Hyosung priced them at $3,994 and $6,994, respectively.
Like most motorcycles with numerical suffixes, the models of the 2006 Hyosung GV are named after their engine displacement. The GV 250 engine displaces at 249 cubic centimeters (cc), while the GV 650 engine displaces at 647 cubic centimeters (cc). With each engine being a four-stroke V-twin (two-cylinder), Hyosung enabled the one on the GV 250 to be air or oil-cooled and the one on the GV 650 to be liquid-cooled; the feature is meant to reduce overheating. The GV 250 engine generates 26.8 horsepower at 9,200 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 15.7 pound-feet (lb-ft) of torque at 7,300 RPM.
