Diner Reviews
Seeing that it's Rick (from Screen
Door, my favorite PDX restaurant), I expected pretty good food. At least something of note. We waited nearly 30 minutes to place our food order, and then waited another 30 before our appetizers arrived. Duck confit egg rolls (pre rolled, not fresh to order, no need for a 30 min wait) came out first, then manchego and potato croquettes that were inconsistent between bites (some had cheese, some didn't). Will not be returning."

The hostess was frantic and walked
by us 4 times before greeting us. Our server was good and knowledgable about the specials. The entree's were completely overcooked and the table next to us also was complaining about the entree's. We all sent our food back to the kitchen and it still came back out overcooked. We would not eat here again."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Leave enough time (i.e., start 90+
minutes before the show), as they seemed a bit overwhelmed as there was a wait for the main course, but it is a great spot for before shows at Keller Auditorium."
Dined on 7/15/2014
This is the perfect place for a
before theatre dinner experience. We watched as many couples were turned away, so book early and you will have a delicious meal before crossing the street to the Keller. It is perfect! We had a relatively new waitress but she was personable, attentive and seemed wanting to please. The food was excellent lots of variety, and good size portions. I highly recommend this as a great dining spot, even if you aren't going to theater."
Dined on 7/15/2014
I just want to suggest not to try
to eat here before a show. We had 5:30 reservations allowing plenty of time to be in our seats at 7:30. We almost got seated in the dining room but our table was given to the couple behind us and we got sent to the bar. The menu had no vegetarian selections as we had seen on the webpage. There were selections when we asked. At 6:50 3 of the 4 in our party got their dinner. 10 minutes later it came We hurriedly ate our $25 dinners that tasted quite good and made it to our seats with time to spare. One of the bartenders told us how proud they were that they had served 60 people in 1 hour. I just could not share his pleasure."
Dined on 7/15/2014
The experience didnt match our
expectations. We made a reservation for 7:30 on a Saturday night ... and we ended up the only people in the restaurant. They started closing down right after we were seated, which they ended up putting us in the bar. It was our anniversary and we had hoped for something a little more intimate and romantic, instead we got just a run of the mill seat in the bar. Our water was warm. The flower on our table was dead. This while several staff members finished their shift and sat in the bar to loudly discuss their day. The food was good. The waiter and bartender were very gracious and helpful, but it just didn't turn out like we had hoped."
Dined on 7/12/2014
We've come a few times over the
past year, usually before a show at the Keller. Once again, we reserved a table before a show. Service this time was quite good; the restaurant was really busy with people dining before the performance, but they had obviously scheduled in extra wait staff, which was much appreciated. That has not generally been our experience at other times. The food was good; we had a salad and the burger with pork belly along with drinks. Table was right near the kitchen, which was not great and we asked to switch to an empty one by a window, but the hostess said that "somebody had requested that exact table" and she was unable to honor our request. So that table sat empty for the first 45 minutes we were there."
Dined on 7/11/2014
The food and service are great and
it works great for an event at the Keller."
Dined on 7/10/2014
Three of us dined here pre-theater
and we each ordered different meals, all of which were exceptional. My duck confit was the best I've ever had and came with 3 delicious sides. Will dine here again."
Dined on 7/9/2014
... a great spot for pre-Keller
events. A little hectic but the food was excellent and the service attentive."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Reservation made in April, for
July 8, so I was a bit putoff when we were seated in the loud bar with a soccer match on t.v. Negatives: Our waiter did not know what beers were on tap or what the soup was. We were dining with another couple. Our food was delievered 5 minutes before the other couples. Our pre-entree dishes were not cleared before our food was delivered. One person in our party ordered soup. It was delievered without a spoon. After waiting a few minutes for our waiter to reappear he got up and asked for a spoon. Our check was delivered to our table while one of our party was still eating. Good things: food was DELICIOUS and it's a great location if you're seeing a show at Keller."
Dined on 7/8/2014
FYI. Went there before show at the
Kellar after reading about the super happy hour. Happy hour limited to the 8 seats at the bar on show nights. Otherwise food and service was great."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Fabulous dishes of the day and
spectacular hamburgers."
Dined on 6/24/2014
It is beyond me that a place like
this can survive. They should only be allowed to serve beer and wine. No mixed drinks pls. My microwave heated luke-warm steak was covered with red lettuce that had to be week old, mushy, with no taste. My beet salad made of canned beets again has no taste. My wife's shrimp was an insult to seafood. Her black bean soup was a paste. They had no espresso machine. Our Saturday dinner had to end by 8:30PM. They closed their kitchen by 8:15PM. We were leaving at 8:30PM, just when the staff started to party in the bar area."
Dined on 6/14/2014
The food was wonderful -- as
usual. We had a lovely attentive server this time. A little too loud for conversation, but I usually sit outside. Great spot for pre-show dinner!!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
They no longer have small plates
or sharing plates...just appetizers and entrees and a prix fixe. So, the cost of the meal was much more than we anticipated. Our server was very nice. He knew we wanted to finish a salad later so he set it aside on our table. Unfortunately it disappeared when another employee took it without asking. Two of us shared an entree and we told two people we were sharing and no one offered a second plate. I think they get the majority of their business from the Keller Auditorium so I think they have a lot of pressure in other areas that most restaurants don't. We don't dine out that often so it was a bummer for us to pay so much when we weren't anticipating it for food that we didn't really want."
Dined on 6/12/2014
I have yet to have a less than
wonderful experience. It is our 'go to' spot for an evening with friends at the Keller Auditorium. French flair, cozy setting, great for people watching!"
Dined on 6/12/2014
We had dinner here before
attending the theatre at the Keller. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. THe menu is somewhat limited, great halibut special the night we were there but we opted for the hamburger--cooked the way we requested and one of the best burgers that I have had in the city. Our service was excellent and we were out with time to spare."
Dined on 6/11/2014
My friend and I had dinner before
going to the Keller Auditorium. We ordered the steak dish. It was cooked to perfection and topped with the most wonderful onion ring I have ever had!! We can't wait to go back and most likely will...very soon."
Dined on 6/10/2014
What a find! Glad we had
reservations. Were seeing a show at the Keller, and decided on Bistro Marquee. Had read other reviews - mostly good - and I'll add to that. Friendly welcome, efficient seating, wonderful menu choices, and good, mostly great service. It got busy - theater night, and they were full, with many folks on a 'theater deadline.' So, understandable that there were some lags - but nothing that kept us from relaxed dining, even able to order and finish a YUMMY shared dessert and get to the theater in plenty of time. THANK YOU! Will be back... Great food - and lovely atmosphere - made our special ladies night even more special. And LOVE the free VALET parking!"
Dined on 6/10/2014
We seemed to be the only table not
attending the event at the Keller on the night we went. I thought it was great that when I was called to confirm the reservation, the manager made sure I knew that they were going to be full of opera-goers who would all want to eat and leave at the same time. My boss added another diner last minute, and the manager added another setting without batting an eye. We were pretty boisterous, so I don't know if they thought we were super fun or will groan the next time I go in, but I loved how they handled the evening."
Dined on 5/15/2014
If there had been any recourse we
would have walked out, but we had tickets to the opera and no other option. We had planned on a special evening out with friends, I was so embarrassed that I had recommended this place. The waiter did not acknowledge the table until twenty minutes after we were seated, we gave our drink and dinner order all in one go. Then sat for another 50 minutes until we all had food..I mean to say our order did not all come out at the same time. During those 50 minutes, no one checked on us or offered us an explanation as to why we were waiting so long. Attempts to inquire as to our order resulted in a Hostess that was rude and belligerent to us. Dinner was a horror show!"
Dined on 5/15/2014
Had reservations for 5:30 so we
could see a show across the street at 7:30. It took forever for them to take our order. The food didn't arrive until 7:10. The ravioli I ordered came swimming in the water that should have been drained: completely inedible. Others at the table were also dissatisfied. We received several apologies from the staff who ended up discounting our meal by 20% It can't be a surprise to the management that people are dining there prior to a show and have time constraints. I have lived and dined in Portland for 40 years and never had this bad an experience. I hate to slam anyone for a one time event and sincerely hope others had better experiences, but we'll never go back and will relate this story to others."
Dined on 5/15/2014
Two of us had the halibut special,
and it was as good as the presentation, which was great. My spouse didn't love the rhubarb infused vodka cocktail, but otherwise all of us enjoyed our dinner very much. "
Dined on 5/9/2014
We started with a couple of
cocktails - the signature Marquee Martini was excellent. My husband had the goat cheese ravioli and enjoyed it, although the portion size left a bit to be desired. I had the fish special, broiled halibut with fingerling potatoes, carrots, and a wonderful watercress puree. The service was excellent, but that could have been because there was only one other couple in the restaurant (on a Saturday night). For dessert, we had the orange creme brulee which was very good, and the cookies which could have been better. All in all, a good restaurant for a special occasion. The prices can be prohibitive for regular dining."
Dined on 5/3/2014
This is the perfect spot for
grabbing dinner before heading to a show across the street. The food is fine, not exceptional."
Dined on 4/19/2014
I made reservations for 6:30 on a
theater night & the process was very easy. We arrived slightly before our appointed time, & were told by the owner the latest they take theater night res is for 5:45, & there were a lot of meal tickets ahead of us & she couldn't jump us ahead. I didn't see anything about the time limitation on the Open Table website. Perhaps it was there, but I didn't see it. We were seated in the bar - very noisy. Our server was busy but brought us drinks & took our order. We tried to find something that would be quick to prepare. My date enjoyed his burger, especially the pickled red onions. I ordered the goat cheese ravioli. Tasty, but few. Way overpriced. Burger was reasonably priced. At least they validate parking."
Dined on 4/3/2014
Pluses: their chef burger was
really good. They are a stone's throw from the Keller, wait staff was attentive. Negatives: portion sizes are small for the price. No noshing menu after 5:30 on theatre nights. New menu seems very limited. Ultimately, I may come back because of their location, not because of their food."
Dined on 4/1/2014
This little restaurant sits near
the Keller Auditorium and per the staff if is very busy on theater nights. However, on the Saturday evening that we dined there, it was quiet. The menu is well thought out and expertly executed. The food was cooked as it should have been. Since it was Portland Dining out month, I had the special menu items and my husband chose off of the regular menu. Both meals were great. The restaurant would not attract neighborhood diners nor does it get much foot traffic so it is definitely a destination restaurant but it is not one to pass by. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well prepared meal served in an intimate cozy atmosphere."
Dined on 3/29/2014
Very friendly, helpful and
efficient wait staff. Chef knows what to do with pork belly - yumm!"
Dined on 3/29/2014
The decor is ok. We were put at a
table that wasn't ready, no cutlery etc. Our waitress took five minutes to get to us, then told us she would wait to take our order even though we were ready. She did this at every stage of dinner, started to feel like she just had better things to do. I had the shrimp and polenta. Three shrimp, a thin piece of pork belly, and a bowl full of polenta. My fiance had the ravioli, he didn't like the flavors, but that's his personal thing. However, the serving was so small he was done in maybe five minutes. Overall, the experience was forgettable. We both left hungry, and went to our hotel afterwards to have some actual food. I'm glad it was dining month, I never would have paid full price for the meal we had."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Being right next to the Keller
Auditorium, they are very busy before the show. So we went at 7:00 when the show had just started. Quite, not crowded, no rush. The portions are not huge but well prepared and adequate -- you just won't take home a big doggy bag. The crispy fried oyster appetizer was especially notable. Service was good -- informative but not pushy We went during dining month so had the 3 course prefix -- which was very good. Would like to return to try some of the other menu items as well."
Dined on 3/26/2014
The food was great. My friend and
I enjoyed our meal there. The place was quiet and we were able to carry on conversation without talk louder! :) The waiter was super friendly and helpful."
Dined on 3/24/2014
We went here for Portland dining
month. It took about 30 mins between the salad and main course and when it showed up most of us were very disappointed. Three of us got the shrimp and polenta with pork belly which was mostly good, but the polenta had absolutely no flavor, just tasted like mush. Two people ordered the ravioli and even though I love salt AND have a cold, even I could tell that it was WAY too salty. The only good meal was the ribs that my friend said were very good and the desserts were all great. I was very disappointed by the experience and will probably not be back."
Dined on 3/21/2014
Tried Bistro Marquee during
Portland Dining Month. whilst the food was enjoyable the portion size was below what we had come to expect from American restaurants and even small by Australian standards which are 3/4 of astandard US dish. The restaurant suffers also from a limited bottle wine list and ambience. There are much better places to eat in Portland."
Dined on 3/17/2014
The food was over priced for the
quality. The service was great. But I would recommend this place for a happy hour, not a full dinner."
Dined on 3/14/2014
Food was tasty. Service met our
needs. Parking was convenient."
Dined on 3/12/2014
Food was very flavorful and in the
right proportions. Food was zesty without being spicey hot."

GIod Food And Convenient Location
Before Going To Kellerman. Apple Salad With Fennel And Shrimp With Pork Belly Were Both Tasty."
Dined on 3/6/2014
I understand that this particular
restaurant location has changed hands recently. They're still working out some of the kinks. The food was fair to good, but overpriced. Being Portland Dining Month, the prix fixe would have been quite a deal...except the items Bistro Marquee chose to offer were uninspiring, so we went a la carte. Generally, the service was lacking. Perhaps the new management didn't realize that from time to time there are performances at the nearby Keller Auditorium. So I'm sure what normally would have been a slow and quiet Tuesday night was impacted by a nearly sold-out show. Staff was very polite and apologetic, but frenetic. Everything from getting seating to basic water refills took longer than necessary."

"Seven weeks before an election, the voters are entitled to know the rules."
-- Supreme Court Justice Debra McCloskey Todd
"I was elected by the people of our Commonwealth, by Republicans, Democrats, Independents and others, as was every single Justice on this esteemed Court. I cannot now be a party to the potential disenfranchisement of even one otherwise qualified elector, including potentially many elderly and possibly disabled veterans who fought for the rights of every American to exercise their fundamental American right to vote."
-- Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday voted 4-2 to send the state's voter identification law back to the Commonwealth Court. If the lower court judge, who has already given his blessing to the law, finds the state is doing a satisfactory job implementing the new requirements, the law will stand.
The two judges who dissented -- Justice Debra McCloskey Todd and Justice Seamus McCaffery -- would have overturned the law.
Their reasoning is much more sound.
Justice Todd argued convincingly that there is too little time before the election for the court system to confidently predict that the state will be able to manage the law effectively.
Chief Justice Seamus McCaffery noted that the state has offered no evidence of a problem that needs to be corrected by the law and has been unable to quantify how many people will be disenfranchised by the law.
McCaffery added that the state's frantic scramble to change the requirements for people to obtain identification required by the law could be interpreted as an admission that the efforts to provide voter ID have been failing.
The majority of the court decided to give Commonwealth Court Judge Robert E. Simpson until Oct. 2 to decide if the state is ready for voter ID.
The justices punted the final decision but suggested that the challenge of effectively implementing the identification requirements in time for the Nov. 6 election raised worrying questions about the constitutionality of the law. Justices Todd and McCaffery correctly recognized that their positions on the highest court in the Commonwealth required that they ensure elections remain free of political taint and that all voters have the opportunity to participate. It is unfortunate that the majority of the court did not take the opportunity to make a historic stand in defense of voters' rights.

Soaking the poor: House tax hikes continue
New York State has the highest cigarette tax in the nation. A study commissioned by the New York Department of Health last year found that the high taxes did not discourage smoking among low-income smokers, ABC News reported last September. Rather, the poor just paid more - as much as a quarter of their income - for cigarettes. The study's author concluded that "low-income smokers are disproportionately burdened by these taxes."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2011 that "(s)moking prevalence generally decreased with increasing education and was higher among adults living below the poverty level (28.9%) than among those at or above the poverty level (18.3%)." That is, cigarette taxes fall disproportionately upon the poor.
The Department of Revenue Administration estimates that House Bill 659 would raise between $6.7 million and $11.9 million. The bill does not earmark those funds for smoking-cessation programs. So the bill would raise taxes on the poor and middle class to fund the general government. Again, this comes just one week after the House voted to hit everyone with a $1 billion gas tax hike, which would hurt low-income drivers the most. If you smoke and drive and you voted for Democrats in November because you wanted to "soak the rich," the joke's on you, pal.

With just one pre-season test remaining, Paddy Lowe believes the Mercedes-powered teams have emerged as the ones to beat.
While Red Bull and Renault continued to battle with reliability never mind performance, the Mercedes teams ran away with it in Bahrain.
Topping the timesheets on all four days, it was the works team that eventually claimed the top two spots overall.
Nico Rosberg set the pace with his 1:33.283 on the final day while Lewis Hamilton's P1 time from the previous day was second quickest for the week.
Added to that, the McLarens were next in line on the overall timesheets ahead of Nico Hulkenberg's Mercedes-powered Force India.
Lowe told Sky Sports F1: "The strongest teams out there are the Mercedes-powered teams.
"The Ferrari is also looking strong, so those are the people we are watching and trying to measure against.
"In this business, even after P1 and P2 on a Friday you can't predict what the grid will look like, and so there are a lot of uncertainties.
"But we definitely feel we are quick and in contention to do very well in Melbourne if we can keep pressing further updates to the car and making sure it is reliable."
Working on the W05's reliability, Mercedes covered 315 laps of the Sakhir circuit, eight less than Williams who topped that log.
However, the Mercedes tech chief is not getting carried away, conceding that there is still work for Mercedes to do.
"In Formula 1, you have to enjoy the good days when things go well," he added.
"We have had a good week, it's gone better than we expected, and the drivers are very happy with the performance of the car and we have to keep building on that."

I'm looking for a simple calendar program that will allow me to track what people are doing. I am going to be managing a small real estate company and we need to keep track of where people may be for a given day. It's only a couple of people, so I am looking for something real simple. Basically they were going to hang a calendar on the wall and write what they are doing on it, but I feel it would be better in software form (of course).
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.

After a shockingly poor season, notable for injuries and endless pick-sixes, regime change has come to Houston. Veteran quarterback Matt Schaub played his way out of town, and veteran head coach Gary Kubiak couldn't cling to his job during a two-win campaign. This season, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be at the controls of Bill O'Brien's offense. The Texans aren't likely to light up scoreboards in 2014, but the team might just be good enough on defense to reach eight wins regardless.
Of course we don't actually care about real-life winning and losing around here. In this space, we're primarily concerned with individual fantasy potential. Houston has a pair of consensus top-50 players — the usual suspects, Arian and Andre — but no one else on this roster projects as a must-own fantasy asset, aside from the D/ST.

Closing Time: Sympathy for the FriarsScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade23 hrs ago
At first glance, there isn't much going on with the 2014 San Diego Padres. They're 12 games under .500, nowhere near contention in the National League. They're last in the majors in runs, no matter how you slice it (home, away, total). They currently don't have a general manager. You wonder why The Chicken cries himself to sleep every night.
But even the mediocre clubs have something to contribute in our fantasy racket, so today we serve a little sympathy for the Friars.
Yangervis Solarte might turn into a fun player in San Diego. He came to Bordertown in the Chase Headley deal, and Bud Black uses him at the top of the order (second or third). Solarte covers three infield positions (everything but first base) and he has a little pop (eight homers in 280 at-bats). He's 8-for-28 with two homers since the trade.Thu, Jul 3112:40 PM PDTSt. Louis at San DiegoPreview Game
RB Primer: Gerhart, others could help reestablish position's superiorityBrad Evans at Roto Arcade23 hrs ago
Immense wealth. Opulence. Excess. The Gilded Age, for a select few, represented it all. Ruled often by ruthless tycoons, it was a time of unprecedented industrial expansion. Icons Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller made money hand-over-first in steel, rail and oil, fattening not only their wallets but also their investors. Their innovation raised the bar and established the United States as a world financial power. For the 1-percenters, faces were firmly planted in the lap of luxury.
Then Teddy Roosevelt shut the party down.
When he ascended to the presidency in 1901, the exuberant politician, a naturalist and torchbearer for the American worker, entered the highest office wielding an axe. His mission: To chop the immense power of monopolistic big businesses. During his two terms, trusts were busted, labor was organized and corporate abuses curtailed. The "Bull Moose" ruled the day …
Mostly MLB Notes: Talking Corey Dickerson and a look around the leagueDalton Del Don at Roto Arcade1 day ago
I drafted Corey Dickerson in multiple leagues and stupidly dropped him in all after he totaled 30 at bats through April (the lesson, as always, is I'm an idiot). Since May 31 (this isn't so much an arbitrary endpoint as it is when Dickerson finally became a full time player), he's been a top-25 fantasy asset, one spot ahead of Miguel Cabrera (despite playing in six fewer games). If you prorate his numbers during that timeframe over a full season, you'd get this line: .319-96-29-96-22. If he qualified, Dickerson's .978 OPS would rank third best in all of baseball. His .292/.361/.500 line away from Coors Field is also strong. There's no timetable for Michael Cuddyer's return, but it's hard to see Dickerson not remaining an everyday player either way. Coors Field helps of course (and benefits fantasy owners immensely), but even if you want to strip that out, Dickerson's 155 wRC+ would rank in the top-10, so he sure looks legit. I'll be drafting him aggressively next year (and hopefully won't prematurely drop him).
Closing Time: Does Neftali Feliz make the cut?Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade1 day ago
Generally speaking, we don't look for much in our search for fantasy-relevant closers. We want someone with the closing baton, the unblocked path to the ninth. We look for someone who can record three outs without being spooked, someone with ratios that won't torch our bottom line. There's a low barrier to entry here.
Those modest parameters established, can we trust Neftali Feliz in Texas? I'm not sure.
Feliz picked up the closing gig last week, when the Rangers shipped Joakim Soria to Detroit (where, interestingly enough, Soria is not closing). Feliz converted a pair of saves over the last four days; he dodged two baserunners in a weekend win over Oakland, and he had a clean landing Monday against New York (three infield outs: Ellsbury, Gardner, Jeter).
Juggernaut Index, No. 20: The Kansas City ChiefsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade2 days ago
When last we saw the Chiefs, they were squandering a 28-point second-half lead at Indianapolis in the wild-card round. All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles was concussed, as was Pro-Bowl corner Brandon Flowers. And so was starting receiver Donnie Avery. Pro-Bowl linebacker Justin Houston had a knee injury, and Charles' backup, Knile Davis, had a broken leg.
So that was a long, ugly afternoon for Kansas City. But let's remember that it was just one day in an otherwise astonishing turnaround season. Andy Reid, in his first year as Chiefs head coach, engineered an all-phases franchise revival. Kansas City was a two-win team in 2012, ranking dead-last in the NFL in point differential (-214) and turnover differential (-24). Under Reid in 2013, this team won 11 games and outscored its opponents 430 to 305. The Chiefs sent eight players to the Pro Bowl last year, qualifying for the playoffs for only the second time in seven seasons.

Monday Mini-Mock: Backup BacksBrandon Funston at Roto Arcade2 days ago
So here's how this works. Each Monday, the Yahoo fantasy crew jumps on a conference call to discuss the week that was/will be. As part of this process, we've decided to include a short mock draft - roughly, one-eighth the size of a normal draft, I shall call it mini mock. This week's mini mock draft (five rounds) is an exploration of the backup running back pool. We've asked our Yahoo experts to each draft five running backs that are not currently expected to be their teams' featured back (using Rotoworld depth charts as our guide). Be it because of talent, opportunity, or both, these are the real-life backup backs that could ascend to fantasy prominence in '14.

All-Rodney Dangerfield: No respect for Romo is downright bafflingBrad Evans at Roto Arcade3 days ago
Pads cracking, helmets smashing, coaches yelling – football season has finally returned.
For your team, I Pitta the Fool, the dawn of a new season brings renewed optimism and another chance.
Last year didn't go exactly as planned. Dismantled by injuries and Trent Richardson's unbearable suckiness, 'Fool' was essentially the Houston Texans of your hometown league. Week in and week out, you fielded a ragtag group of boobs that were steamrolled regularly by the competition. If only you would've gone the extra dollar on Peyton Manning in August. Damn that Derek. Damn him. His undercutting ranked right up there with the time he 'borrowed' your Sega CD copy of Bill Walsh College Football only to trade it for five packs of Gobstoppers and a gallon of Mountain Dew.
Vengeance will be yours.
Ohhh yes, vengeance will be yours.

Starting Pitcher Shuffle Up: Julio Teheran makes the leapScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade5 days ago
Here's the latest Shuffle Up from the mound, the starting pitchers. This is the big one. Marinate over the prices. I'll do the same, move a few ranks here and there.
What's happened to this point is an audition, only. We're trying to figure out how to rank the players going forward. Assume a 5x5 scoring system, and players at the same cost are considered even.
And remember the golden rule – a player doesn't gain 15-20 percent of bonus value simply because he's on your roster.
I didn't bother ranking any injured pitchers in this edition. Bluntly put, I have very little faith in any of them for the balance of 2014. They're worth whatever you want them to be, but I'm not trading for them.
To the checkout line.
Spin Doctors: Cordarrelle Patterson vs. Percy Harvin vs. Michael CrabtreeBrandon Funston at Roto Arcade5 days ago
If you look at the Yahoo fantasy wide receiver rankings, you'll find three players (Cordarrelle Patterson, Percy Harvin and Michael Crabtree) bunched together, fighting for the final spots in our top 20. For different reasons (either injury or lack of playing time), all three players offered up incomplete '13 campaigns. As the '14 season approaches, each of these players looks poised to be full season, go-to options for their respective teams. And Yahoos Brad Evans, Dalton Del Don and myself have a difference of opinion when it comes to who we feel is going to best take advantage of their situation.
It's time to fire up the Spin machine and let the doctors debate the merits of this trio ...

Suw Charman-Anderson, Contributor
I'm a geek & author covering self-publishing & crowdfunding
In a Salon piece about Amazon's $1 million literary grant scheme (which is itself well worth reading) Alexander Zaitchik reveals that the Big Six publishers have shied away from Amazon's most recent contract renewal. He writes:
For the first time, the "Big Six" publishers — HarperCollins, Random House, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Penguin and Macmillan — have refused to sign Amazon's latest annual contract. The main sticking point is exorbitant increases in "co-op promotional fees" for e-books that the publishers see as an illegal gouge by another name. One person familiar with the details of the proposed 2012 contracts that Amazon has submitted to major New York publishers described them as "stupifyingly draconian." In some cases, he said, Amazon has raised promotional fees by 30 times their 2011 cost.
PaidContent's Laura Hazard Owen then reported that at least two of the Big Six are definitely refusing to sign. She said that although a failure to sign "could end with their 'buy' buttons being turned off, it is more likely for now that the feud will result in less promotion of their titles on Amazon's website."
Amazon is still selling these publishers' books, Owen said, but isn't promoting them on its site the way it used to. One sticking point is the money that publishers have to pay Amazon to get their books promoted on the website. The concept of these 'co-op fees' comes from bricks-and-mortar shops which would charge publishers for the best placement in the shop. Amazon, unsurprisingly, decided to keep that model for its website. But now Amazon wants bigger discounts from publishers and higher co-op fees and the Big Six aren't happy about it.
TeleRead's Chris Meadows points out that the Independent Publishers Group, one of America's biggest independent book distributors which works with a large number of publishers large and small, also refused to agree to Amazon's renewal conditions. Said the New York Times in February:
"They decided they wanted me to change my terms," said Mark Suchomel, president of the Chicago-based I.P.G. "It wasn't reasonable. There's only so far we can go."
With each side unwilling to yield, Amazon pulled the plug, and all of I.P.G.'s books for Kindle disappeared. The physical books were not affected. A spokeswoman for Amazon declined to comment.
Of course, the Big Six aren't about to start making any decisions on Amazon's contract in a way that might look as if they've been talking about it. Apple and five of the six are already under investigation by the US Justice Department for alleged collusion over ebook pricing. The publishers and Apple agreed to use what's called the agency model, where publishers set the price of ebooks and Apple takes a 30 percent cut, rather than a wholesale model where the publishers sell titles at a discount and the bookstore adds their margin on top deciding the final price without input from the publishers. The agency model isn't illegal; the accusation is one of ebook price-fixing, which Apple and the publishers deny.
But what might happen if even just two or three major publishers decided not to renew with Amazon? Scott Turow, president of the Authors Guild, wrote in March:
Two years after the agency model came to bookselling, Amazon is losing its chokehold on the e-book market: its share has fallen from about 90% to roughly 60%. Customers are benefiting from the surprisingly innovative e-readers Barnes & Noble's investments have delivered, including a tablet device that beat Amazon to the market by fully twelve months. Brick-and-mortar bookstores are starting to compete through their partnership with Google, so loyal customers can buy e-books from them at the same price as they would from Amazon. Direct-selling authors have also benefited, as Amazon more than doubled its royalty rates in the face of competition.
If a couple of the major publishers refused to renew and pulled their ebooks from Amazon, it's seems likely that Amazon would lose even more market share. Amazon has been the 800lb gorilla in the book market for far too long, but with its share decreasing, the withdrawal of a couple publishers' catalogues might help to even the market out. Amazon, then, will have to decide whether it wants to take the publishers' terms or carry on without them.
I don't think it would be a bad thing for Amazon to no longer be the canonical source of books. We don't expect DIY stores or clothing stores to carry every single power tool or shirt available, so why do we expect online bookshops to carry every single title published? It might be more convenient for us not to have to shop around, but is it better for us, the readers, in the long term? In my opinion, no. Monopolies lead to anticompetitive behaviour, but squeezing the publishers results only in the squeezing of authors and they're the ones who end up bleeding out.
I happen to think that ebooks are hideously overpriced at the moment, but that's an issue I want to see resolved through dialogue between buyer and publisher, not through the imposition by Amazon of onerous terms and extortionate fees on the publishers. Because if Amazon controls the Big Six, what hope is there for any improvement in the way it treats self-publishers?
I wish Amazon had a chokehold on publishers. I'd be paying a lot less for ebooks if they did. Amazon doesn't have a greed problem. They try to sell things as inexpensively as possible. That is why they dominate their markets. The publishers hate Bezos because they can't make as much money as possible, per book, with Amazon's selling philosophy.
I have no problem with the publishers ( or authors ) pushing back.
Amazon's model is to sell as much stuff for as cheap as possible. It is not their stuff that they are selling. Other people make stuff they just put it out there.
The model is we have everything you want. We have good prices. Come to our portal.
The publishers and authors want to maximize their profits as does Amazon. They have a different way of going about it.
Ultimately the consumer wants everything for free. The seller wants to get as much as they can for each thing they sell. They both compromise and a price is settled on.
This is a fight about control of the product. Amazon wants to leverage its position as the largest retailer on the planet and the publishers want to leverage their position as the providers of the content. The publishers seem to be saying to Amazon that you are not the only market we can sell through.
Who is really being greedy? I thnk the publishers are. The digital format has really put a dent in Used Book Sales. What royalties go back to the publishers or authors from books that are resold? It's harder for people to resell or pirate digital copies from their Kindles or Nooks. Amazon and BN have more costs to deal with in their tablet/reader products (customer service, manufacturing, software & hardware updates), with publishers saving so much more money on production costs.
There are so many expenses associated with making physical books that the digital format has eliminated. Think "remainder" marks, stripped magazine covers, postage/shipping, and the human additive of processing these wads of pulp. I think in this case, the greed is greener on the othe side of the fence!
The fact that there are multiple stores out there is a very good thing, but the overall shopping experience is stil a long way short of physical stores. They need to address both that and the unfair ebook pricing before ebooks will really become a threat to paper books, I feel.
"…We don't expect DIY stores or clothing stores to carry every single power tool or shirt available, so why do we expect online bookshops to carry every single title published?…"
I think the difference between your analogy is that books on a Kindle device cannot be easily transferred to another e-Reading device like BN's Nook. If all of the ebooks are not available online from a single source and different sources requires different eReaders, it would mean that you will need to purchase every different kind of available eReaders on the market to ensure you can get the books you want. You can see why there will always be a tendency for people to migrate to a single online source.
As for the power tools and shirts, after I purchase them, I can freely give it or sell it to any one I choose. Perhaps in order to resolve the current Amazon, Apple and publishers ebook situation, the ebook format cannot and should not be proprietary and be used on a single eReader format.
Thank you for pointing this out The DRM thing is a nuisance. I prefer my Nook. I want to read the books on my Nook.
I am more than willing to pay for ebooks, but I don't want to have more than one device or set of software as a necessary part of the equation.
But publishers don't have to pay the co-op fees, do they? Can't they just sell on Amazon and promote the books in other ways?
I'm not seeing the big problem for the publishers.
BTW, what do you think that Amazon is doing in regard to self-publishers that Amazon needs to improve?
I'm so sick of people preaching as if Amazon is a knight in shining armor for consumers. It dumbfounds me why people praise Amazon, but have vilified Walmart in towns and states. Here is a company that is working through loopholes to shy away from taxes and really putting pressure on small business, they work with local governments to put band aids on the issues by creating jobs and putting of the inevitable for a few years. Amazon has provided transparency for pricing, excuse me not Amazon, but their market place. Consumers can keep pushing this pricing issue. It's a consumers right to get a good product, at a good price, with good service…in turn is it not the right of a company to make money if they provide these things? They can't provide all 3 of these things and stay profitable in most cases, something gets cut.
Don't be disappointed as the quality of service, product, or support in most industries continues to diminish, because like most financial issues in this country, the consumers will play a huge part in the problem.
I'm not sure that it should be the place of the DOJ to reinforce monopolies (Amazon). Perhaps Americans should be sending emails to the DOJ and writing to their members of congress.

MOORE — The Earlywine Park YMCA will celebrate Healthy Kids Day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday with a free community event that encourages kids to get moving and learning and families living healthier.
Healthy Kids Day, the Y's national initiative to improve families' health and well-being, takes place at 1,900 Ys and kick-starts healthier behaviors now and throughout the summer, a critical out-of-school time for children's health.
Many U.S. children do not get the daily recommended hours of physical activity and reading, and daily amounts of healthy foods. According to the latest findings of the YMCA's Family Health Snapshot — a survey of parents that gauges their children's activity levels during the school year — only 19 percent of children get 60 minutes of physical activity, only 17 percent read books for fun, and only 12 percent eat at least eight fruits and vegetables daily.
"At the Y, we know parents struggle to keep their kids physically and intellectually active every day. We want to help ensure fewer kids are at risk of childhood obesity and more kids excel in school," said Paul Urquhart, executive director of the Earlywine Park YMCA. "YMCA's Healthy Kids Day will get kids moving and learning while also helping families get a jump on creating a healthier summer, and ultimately a healthier future."
Healthy Kids Day features fun, active play and educational activities, such as moon bounce, a golf driving net, removable tattoos, water safety and many more.

With OSCON taking place in Oregon from 7/20/2014 – 7/24/2014, the Open Source community will come together to discuss everything new in the Open Source world. From OSS to Java, Python to PHP, Cloud Computing to Perl and emerging programming languages to mobile platforms, the Open Source community has a lot to chat about.
This said, I wanted to take the time to discuss why the Open Source initiative matters by highlighting a few key elements of the protocol which help to make it so powerful.

This week, the South End welcomes its newest restaurant from the Aquitaine Group, the much-anticipated Roman Trattoria Cinquecento.
The brand new Italian dinner and brunch spot is located at 500 Harrison Avenue in the SoWA area of the South End. It will feature a contemporary, casual feel, and a menu with an emphasis on traditional Roman cooking to incorporate seasonal, local and imported ingredients from Italy, according to its owners.
The restaurant was conceived to fill the need for an Italian neighborhood restaurant and gathering spot, according to founding chef and partner Seth Woods.
"We envisioned a comfortable, inviting restaurant reminiscent of neighborhood trattorias found in Rome," he said. "A place where friends will come several nights a week, no matter where they are coming from or going to. The menu will be steeped in the Roman roots of simplicity, custom and comfort."
Diners can expect to find dishes like: Ricotta Fresca, warm ricotta, olive oil, grilled bread; Zuppa di Fagioli, Borlotti Bean Soup with Smoked Ham and Kale; Gnocchi al Sulgo di Cinghiale, Wild Boar, Golden Raisins, Pinoli and Pecorino; Saltimbocca di Vitello con Carvolo, Veal, Proscuitto, Cabbage Fonduta and Marsala and Porchetta Arrosto, Pork Belly, Roasted Parsnips and Date Suso.
And Cinquecento's weekend brunch menu uses influences from Rome and other parts of Italy with dishes like: Bruschetta with Farm Egg, Pancetta & Candied Shallots; Roasted Mushrooms, Pancetta with Fried Farm Egg and Ricotta Salata; and Apple & Taleggio Panino with Honey Walnut Pesto, Roasted Porchetta Panino with Mostarda and Bitter Greens.
The wine program will feature an all-Italian wine list offering wines by the glass, quartino, carafe and bottles, and the cocktail program at Cinquecento can be described as "innovative" and "Roman inspired." The beer selection at Cinquecento will be divided into Italian, European and domestic brews both in bottles and on tap.
An interesting note is that coffee will play an important large role in the dining experience. A barista will turn out coffee and espresso to end each meal.
Eric Hogan, who was most recently general manager of Gaslight Brasserie will take the helm at Cinquecento. The chef de cuisine position will be filled by Justin Winters, most recently of Sorellina in Boston's Back Bay.
The restaurant itself was designed to evoke an Italian sense of comfort, charm and style according to the owners. A striking illuminated cast iron and glass staircase greets guests and leads them to the main dining room and bar. The 126 seat main dining room features a rustic mix of reclaimed beams and bricks, biscuit tufted Italian leather banquettes and booths, traditional tables and two trattoria style communal tables. The curved, serpentine shaped bar is made of illuminated onyx and a striking black Italian marble top with 22 seats.
"We wanted the dining room to provide plenty of nooks and crannies that promote comfort and privacy while allowing the guest to be part of a much larger energetic atmosphere," said Woods.
Additionally, Cinquecento features a 56-seat private dining room with media capabilities and its own private bar for parties and work functions, and a 60-seat patio open during the warmer months.
With the opening of Cinquecento, the Aquitaine Group (made up of Woods, Matthew Burns, and Jeffery Gates) now operates eight restaurants in and around Greater Boston: Aquitaine Bar a Vin Bistro, Aquitaine Chestnut Hill , Aquitaine Dedham at Legacy Place, Gaslight Brasserie du Coin, Metropolis Café, Greenlight, and Union Bar and Grille.

The world's largest generic drugmaker, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries plans to buy U.S. specialty drugmaker Cephalon for $6.8 billion, topping an unsolicited bid by Canadian rival Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.
Warner Music's $3 billion buyout could be done by the end of the week, according to a person familiar with the matter. Final buyout bids for the company are due today. Warner Music's board effectively put itself up for sale in January when it appointed Goldman Sachs and AGM Partners to assess interest from external parties.
Danisco, the Danish food ingredients and enzymes producer urged shareholders to accept a higher takeover bid from chemicals group DuPont as fund managers welcomed the "decent offer" and said it would likely succeed. DuPont raised its offer for Danisco by 5 percent to 700 Danish crowns ($139) per share from 665, making its cash offer worth $6.64 billion.
Arch Coal said it will acquire International Coal Group in a $3.4 billion all-cash transaction to create the second-largest U.S. producer of steel-making coal. The news boosted International Coal shares in premarket trading.
Quest Diagnostics announced last month it would buy genetic-testing firm Celera Corp for $671 million, but word of a crucial scientific study helped the company negotiate a nearly $200 million discount in its deal. In this Wall Street Journal article, author John Jannarone asks, just how did Quest learn of the study months prior to its official publication?

How do you decide what to play on tour these days?
The things that excite me to play are either newer songs we've never done or old ones but done slightly different than we've done before.
Like the way you did "Under My Thumb" on the last tour?
Yeah. Obviously, I won't want to do that again, because I've done that a hundred times. And when you play outdoors or even the big arenas, you tend to keep the shows exactly the same. You can't just throw in a number like you're in a club, because you have 90,000 people, the lights and the sound and all that, and it's just such a production. At the beginning of the tour, the set tends to be long, and you shorten it a little bit. You see what goes down well and what doesn't. If a number's bombing, even if you're enjoying it, you tend to leave it out.
What sort of stuff doesn't go over well?
They don't like ballads, for one thing. They don't want to hear them. Not from us. We play anything that's slow, they start to go for the hot dogs.
What recent shows did you like? Did you see Springsteen this time?
Yeah, I saw Springsteen in his long stint at the Meadowlands [in New Jersey].
Did you stay for the whole show?
[Pause] Oh, yeah. [Laughs] Sure, through the bear and everything. I liked it. I thought the band sounded wonderful; I thought he sounded wonderfully well. It was better than when I saw him the last time around. I thought the drums sounded fantastic. I took the kids also. To tell you the truth, the kids did not like it very much.
100 Greatest Artists of All Time: the Rolling Stones
Did you and the kids catch the Jacksons show?
I wasn't around. I wasn't in the neighborhood. Some real hard-rock people — people that I wouldn't imagine liking it — said they liked it very much. They [the kids] didn't go either. I don't think they wanted to. I think they're too old already.
What did you think of all the Jacksons' business problems?
I only know what I've read in the newspapers. I don't want to be an expert, but I think the ticket price was too high. I think Michael knew it. I think it was terribly disorganized at the beginning — it was a joke. I mean, everyone went through this in the Sixties. You don't put ticket prices — ticket prices are $17.50 or whatever it is — I mean you don't . . . twenty, thirty dollars . . . you don't do that. I don't think it's very complex. You don't rate more than the regular ticket price. If you have a very expensive show, you might add a dollar.
When did you get involved in the real nuts-and-bolts side of touring?
I think when I had to, like 1969, I think. Especially post-Altamont . . . I was really into the tour before then. I kinda let that one go. I thought that was all San Francisco and Bill Graham and the Grateful Dead, and . . . I'm not making excuses. Of course, a lot of it was my fault, blah-blah-blah. But to that point in time, there wasn't really — I hate to use the word, but I think it's a good one — there was no industry really. It was all very amateur night: there were a few professional promoters, and fewer honest ones. So the artist had to become interested.
We had gone to Australia, and there was no roof, and it was 110 degrees. So I remember telling Rod Stewart, "Say, Rod, when you go down there, don't forget to take a roof, and put it in your contract. I mean these guys don't give you a roof!" [Laugh] So I got interested in that. You can't get yourself too involved, because you gotta play.
What were your impressions of Michael Jackson when you worked with him?
I thought he was really professional. You know, sings his ass off — he's real easy.
I thought "State of Shock" was great.
A lot of people didn't like it. I think it could have been much better produced, but you know, I enjoyed doing it. I like doing the duets occasionally — I did one with Peter Wolf, Carly Simon, Peter Tosh. . .
You and Willie and Julio, I'm sure. . .
[Laughs] Hey, yeah, we'll get it together . . . that was a hilarious one. [Hysterically] Willie and Julio!
Did you see Duran Duran when they came?
No: I saw them personally; I didn't go to their show. The kids went.
Did they like it?
Loved it. My children's boyfriends dress like Simon Le Bon, wear the makeup, you know. It's hilarious.
Do you like their records?
Duran Duran.
[Closes eyes, smiles, remains silent for fifteen seconds.]
Uh, right. . .
[Laughs] C'mon, Chris, gimme a break!

Lullaby (how did you know?)
I was at the point, I was literally walking upstairs to end it. I stubbed my toe on this crappy radio on the floor and it turned on.. I was upstairs losing it big time and Lullaby came on. I have never heard it before. Some how it took me out of my frame of mind.. I didnt feel alone. I know there are trmendous challenges ahead. I have watched your video on you tube about 10 times in the past hour. Everytime i hear a monumental lyric I hadnt before. In some strange reason I am afraid of the furture.. I thought it to be the unknown. Through your song I am starting to see the future isnt unknown. Maybe the future is just unwritten? Even though the circumstances I am in are of no fault of my own however I do blame myself. I don't know if I can say your song changed my life forever without saying it probably saved it first?

The Norman Transcript
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The look on Oklahoma forward Romero Osby's face said it all Tuesday night. It was the epitome of dejection after the Sooners' 81-78 loss to Arkansas.
The loss was tough to take for many reasons: it ended OU's three-game-winning streak, finished a string of three straight wins where it gutted out victory in the final minutes and was dished out by a team that's become the Sooners' fiercest non-conference rival.
However, the hardest part was Osby scored a season-high 22 points and was going to have to remember the shot that didn't fall. His 18-footer with four seconds left could have given the Sooners the lead, and, likely, the win.
"I wanted it go in. I thought it was going in when it left my hand. Unfortunately it didn't go in," Osby said.
OU can fret over the shot that didn't fall, but it was another game where all it did was hang around for most of the game and tried to close it out in the final minutes.
It trailed by 11 early in the second half and was on the verge of getting blown out due to Arkansas forward Marshawn Powell.
He dominated from start to finish, scoring 33 points and thwarting the Sooners' attempt to get off a game-tying shot in the final second.
Powell, who wasn't on the floor for OU's 78-63 victory over Arkansas last year due to a knee injury, was no man of mystery to the Sooners. He's a childhood friend of OU guard Steven Pledger and Osby squared off against him when he was at Mississippi State three years ago. They knew what he was capable of.
"I knew how he would play. I knew he was itching to get back on the court because he was out all last year," Pledger said.
However, few envisioned Powell going 4-for-6 from 3-point range.
"When he also makes 3's … he has the ability to drive the ball and you have to get up and guard him a little bit more," OU coach Lon Kruger said. "You have to work and we didn't do enough of it."
Defense is what let OU down. It lost despite shooting 55.4 percent (31-for-56) from the field and making 16 of 25 shots in the second half.
Steven Pledger sank two 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds to turn a five-point deficit into a one-point lead with 20 seconds left.
The Sooners held Arkansas guard B.J. Young, who was averaging 21.3 points a game, in check. He finished with 10 points. However, Young reached double digits seconds after Steven Pledger drained a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left to give OU a 78-77 lead.
"I thought our guys had pretty good awareness when he had the ball. He has to work and then get help from defenders on either side," Kruger said. "I thought our awareness of Young was pretty good, but he's still a good player and tough to guard."
Young finished with eight of the Razorbacks' 21 assists. They shot 52.6 percent (30-for-57). Mardracus Young also added 10 points.
And it was Young that eventually sealed the game. He answered Pledger's final 3-pointer with a driving layup to give Arkansas the lead for good.
Powell added two more free throws with 2.4 seconds left to lift the Razorbacks' lead to three points.
OU set up a play to get Pledger a 3-point attempt in the middle of the floor, but Powell broke up the in-bound pass and it had to settle for an off-balance fling from Tyler Neal at the buzzer.
"We made a nice run there late. Got a couple stops defensively and Pledger hits the 3 to put us up one late. Then we give up a layup going the other way," Kruger said. "We couldn't quite finish on top."

Hadar and Roy take the Session
Laura Hadar again proves why she is one of the most respected and core women's snowboarders in the industry by claiming the Honda Session despite two knarly bails on both the quarterpipe and the down rail. Laura's known for skills and known for her ability to take pain, both which she displayed as she not only claimed first place in the women's rail jam but also the "Josh Malay" best trick award in honor of her friend who died in action two years ago. Canada's Marie France Roy also played the field with solid quarterpipe hits and creative and technical rails, landing her in 3rd place.

In this Jan. 22, 2009 file photo, President Barack Obama, center, stands near Fox News' Major Garrett, left, in the kitchen of the Brady press briefing room at the White House in Washington.
The fight between Fox News and the President could finally be coming to a close.
President Obama will grant the conservative news network an on-camera interview, Fox's senior White House correspondent Major Garrett Tweeted Monday as he confirmed week-long rumors of the President's appearance.
"I will interview POTUS on camera Wed am here in Beijing," Garrett wrote, using the common "President of the United States" acronym.
"4 other networks will too. 10 mins per. Many had asked. Can say now," Garrett wrote.
The interview is a landmark move in the feud between Obama and Fox News, which began when Obama and his aides attacked the network earlier this year for biased news reporting that Obama said looked more like a "talk show" than a news program.
The network operates "almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said on CNN in October.
Fox News was quick to fight back against Obama, saying in an October statement that the White House's "war on a news organization" was keeping it from handling "critical issues that Americans are concerned about l ike jobs, health care and two wars."
Fox News talking heads Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly were the main targets of the Obama administration, while the White House exempted several correspondents, including Garrett, from its indictment.
Obama snubbed Fox earlier this fall on his September media blitz, when he sat down with NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN but steered clear of Fox News.
The president is in Asia for the first time, sitting down with world leaders including China's Hu Jintao.

To the editor:
It is impossible to keep guns out the hands of sick individuals who would use them to kill other humans.
It is possible, however, to invent "smart guns" that could not be fired on a human target.
A Positive Target Identification Device (PTID) could be installed on all guns sold to private citizens which would prevent them from firing on a human target.
This device might be a scope that not only amplifies the target but also identifies the target and relates this information back to the firing mechanism of the gun, locking the trigger when a human target is in the line of fire.
It would be a mandatory device for all guns sold to private citizens under strict penalties of the law.
Removal of this device, except by expert gunsmiths, would permanently render the gun inoperable. Only guns sold to law enforcement agencies would be unrestricted. Law enforcement agencies would have strict guidelines for their security and maintenance. The invention of this device would involve the collaboration of gun manufacturers and photography and barcoding experts.
It's time to start thinking out of the box with ideas like this, even though we may ultimately deem them to be futile and without consequence.
