If obstinate dead people were all that Maddy had to worry about, life would be much easier. But the best-laid plans of Agents and fallen angels often go awry. Deaths are occurring contrary to the natural order, Maddy's being stalked by foes inside and outside of her family, and her two loves-her bodyguard, Gabriel, and her doughnut-loving gargoyle, Beezle-have disappeared. But because Maddy is Lucifer's granddaughter, things are expected of her, things like delicate diplomatic missions to other realms.
My name is Beezle, and I will be your incredibly handsome host for today's tour. For those of you that don't know me, I live in a slightly rundown two-flat in Chicago with an Agent of death named Madeline Black. She inherited the job, the house, and my wonderful gargoyle self when her mother died. I spend a lot of time trying to keep Maddy from doing stupid things that will get her killed. The rest of the time it's my job to guard our home. Gargoyles can see the true nature of things. That means if a creature comes to our front door in a magical disguise I can look through all the layers of reality down to that creature's essence and discover its real identity. It's an amazingly important job and one that Maddy does not seem to appreciate properly. If she did, there would be more popcorn in the house and less complaining when the emergency stash of chocolate disappears. Anyway, on with the tour! Maddy and I live on the north side of Chicago, about six blocks from Wrigley Field and only a half-block away from the nearest Dunkin' Donuts at Lincoln and Addison. I am partial to the Boston Kremes, if you ever want to stop by the house with a half-dozen. A short walk south on Lincoln will bring you to Dinkel's Bakery, another excellent source of chocolate-covered doughnuts filled with cream. They also make every kind of cookie imaginable and excellent birthday cakes. My birthday is November 13th, in case you were wondering. If we jump on the Brown Line at Paulina we can take the el over to the Southport stop, where a host of glorious goodies awaits. The Ann Sather café is right next to the Southport stop, which is convenient because it means you won't have to walk very far in order to stuff yourself with the most wonderful cinnamon rolls you've ever eaten in your life. Maddy usually only buys one roll for us to share, which is pretty stingy if you ask me. If it were up to me we'd have enough on hand to eat four or five every day of the week. Of course, when I say things like this it usually leads to a non-productive discussion about trans fat and the size of my belly. Maddy doesn't understand that gargoyles are supposed to be round. Further north on Southport is Sensational Bites, home of the Boston Cream cupcake, the frosted brownie, and gigantic slices of carrot cake. It's only a few steps away from Dairy Queen, so if you need an ice cream chaser after you've loaded up on pastry you won't have to walk very far. I'd like to tell about you a few more important places but Maddy is yelling at me about something. Apparently someone left a lot of dirty dishes in the living room and she seems to think I had something to do with it. Come back next week and I'll take you to all the movie theaters that have the best popcorn. Until then, Beezle signing off.

Last month, the state of West Virginia saw a dramatic coup when the State Board of Education dismissed State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jorea Marple without one word of explanation. The makeup of the board (five Manchin appointees who all voted for the removal of Marple) was enough to fill in the gaps for many who wished to supply their own explanation, that the firing was "political."
However, we have not been told what kind of "politics" is at work here. What we do know, in the aftermath of the general elections in our state and in the firing of Dr. Marple, is that political offices in West Virginia were purchased in a way that they were not in other parts of the country.
Politicians with deep pockets who will doubtless serve corporate interests within this state took seats that had been previously unavailable to them, and those who have been running unviable campaigns for the last several election cycles looked viable in a way that indicates that the political landscape (at least in terms of its players) in this state is changing negatively for the people of West Virginia, but in favor of the interests of outside capital with something to gain from the exploitation of our land and labor.
Similarly, it was not educators, nor unions, nor students, nor parents who asked for the firing of Dr. Marple. Rather, it was a small group of elite, politically aligned appointees detached from the day-to-day processes of education in our state who railroaded our state's first woman Superintendent of Schools, a superintendent with a successful record and a superb reputation among educators across the state from various disciplinary backgrounds, out of her position.
Perhaps Dr. Marple served at the "will and pleasure" of the Board of Education, but the behavior displayed by that board is exemplary neither of the character nor ethics which we are responsible for installing in our students, and a failure to hold the board accountable for their actions will result in a lesson in the ugliness of corrupt power being taught to the future leaders of our state. We must demand better than that from those who make important decisions about the way education is done in West Virginia. We must demand that they not only explain this oblique decision, but that they behave in a way that is transparent, ethical and equitable, and that they are informed by the integrity required by the immense work that is before them. Otherwise, they do not deserve the nine-year terms to which they have been appointed.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
This April marked the 10-year anniversary of the release of the first human genome reference sequence, an epic milestone in the annals of medical science. The use of "first-generation sequencing" required over a decade and almost $3 billion. Today's next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can do the same in just three days for about $3,000. This represents a remarkable leap in efficiency, making NGS viable even for selected clinical applications. But the real growth in clinical sequencing is yet to come.
Consistent with the life cycles of the transformative medical technologies that came before it, NGS is now entering the clinical phase of its adoption cycle.
Typically, transformative technology adop-tion moves from basic research to translational research and, finally, to the clinic within six to eight years. As the first NGS publication came out in 2005, the technology seems to be maturing in line with past transformative technologies. Previously, given its workflow complexities, difficulty in interpreting the data, and high cost per sample, NGS use was limited to basic research applications. However, in the last few years alone, leading medical centers have begun to incorporate NGS into their clinical testing toolboxes.
Our recent discussions with lab directors of large and mid-sized hospitals uncovered a high level of interest in NGS, and a belief that use of the technology for select clinical applications is poised to become common practice within the next few years.
Rapid clinical NGS adoption will be driven by novel applications, commercial reference lab offerings, and eventual FDA clearance.
NGS is enabling new clinical applications, given its high-sensitivity, high-throughput, and unbiased nature (Figure); examples include:
Additionally, a number of commercial reference labs (e.g., GeneDx) and academic institutions (e.g., the Broad Institute) have started to offer NGS panels interrogating a select number of genes (typically between 10 and 300), whole-exome sequencing (assessing 1–2% of the genome that codes proteins), or even whole-genome sequencing (examining all 3 billion base pairs). For example, InVitae offers a sequencing service that screens across 264 conditions (customizable by the healthcare provider) for $1,500, with a two-week turnaround time.
DeciBio expects that by 2015, one or more NGS platforms and select kits will be cleared by the FDA for clinical use, defining an inflection point in the use of this technology in the clinic, particularly for small and mid-sized hospitals.
Still, widespread clinical adoption of NGS will be moderated by the actionability of results and payer reimbursement.
Many mutations identified when performing exome or whole-genome sequencing are not currently clinically actionable, either because the functional impact of the mutation is unknown or because there is no therapeutic intervention to target that specific gene. Without actionability, genome and exome sequencing have a real barrier to overcome before reimbursement can be established. Limited reimbursement means limited adoption, given the high out-of-pocket costs for patients.
However, for targeted NGS tests with established clinical utility (e.g., Sequenom's MaterniT21 for trisomy 21) some insurance companies, including Aetna, Wellpoint, and United Healthcare already provide reimbursement.
In the second edition of our Next-Generation Sequencing market report, we forecast that the NGS clinical sequencing market (reflecting the reimbursed market, not just manufacturer instrument/reagent sales to laboratories) will grow to more than $1.0 billion in 2015. The two largest market opportunities will be oncology and prenatal testing, driven by the ability of NGS to cost-effectively address questions that were previously either unanswerable or too expensive to answer (Figure).

5 Homemade Costume Ideas for Parents Who Hate Their Kids
#2. This Robot Costume
I imagine that the magic of being a parent is in helping a brand new person experience the world. It's in seeing everything through a fresh lens, looking at ordinary objects most people don't think twice about and wondering, "What are the thousands of ways I can use this disappoint my kid?"
Point in case, this robot costume. While it's not specifically for children, it's one of the most comprehensive DIY guides for a robot suit on the Internet, and it's exactly the type of thing I imagine parents stumble across while trying to adhere to the screeching Halloween demands of their children.
I'm fascinated by the priorities of this How-To guide. Aesthetics clearly don't play a central role since the boxes are still covered in packing tape and shipping addresses, and I don't entirely understand why certain body parts require so much coverage while others are left completely exposed. Yet somehow the directions are an exhausting 10 pages. It's a special kind of cruel for parents to work vigorously on a robot costume for days without even allowing a kid a peek at it, and then finally revealing that all that work was for this clumsy pile of cardboard. That look of disenchantment must be real satisfying for some parents.
"Hold on, don't start crying yet. I want to get my camera."
Sadly, it doesn't look like the type of costume that will last very long, if the night. Though I don't think it matters much to the kids who will be happy to destroy it and it probably doesn't matter much to the parents either who likely pushed their kid out the door in it and prayed for rain anyway.
#1. This Fishbowl Costume
Country Living magazine has made no pretenses of appealing to children. They know that kids want to go trick or treating as Iron Man or as Harry Potter, but they're not interested in what kids want. They're on the side of parents who have spent too much time with their kids in remote, rural areas where Country Living is actually applicable. They know the quickest way to demoralize a child is to force him into public on Halloween as the one inanimate object synonymous with boredom.
A fishbowl will never be cool, and the additional twist of the parental knife here is that the costume isn't even trying. It's so half-assed that it's beyond the work of a neglectful parent. Even indifferent parents will Sharpie a superhero mask on their kid's face; this costume is different. It's specifically for those moms and dads who have a score to settle. I dare anyone to find a kid who genuinely wants to wear this, because even the best-executed version of this fishbowl outfit -- with the most realistic looking fish and diffused, battery-powered lights to create a murky underwater effect -- can distract from the blatant symbolism of parents stuffing their kid in a garbage bag.
Ugh, they're not even recyclable.

Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
S - Chad Durbin (1)
- Rodrigo Lopez (hah!) gets Fukudome to line out sharply to center field.
- Theriot walks. Gets a lot of attention from Lopez (hehehheeeee, too rich) at first.
- Lee gets jammed and bloops one into center, but Victorino gets there for a nice sliding catch. Theriot goes half-way, gets back safely.
- Fastball inside, Ramirez rolls out to Feliz, 5-3.
- 3-0 count to start Rollins. Lilly gets an 86 mph fastball on the inside corner, 3-1. Next fastball down the middle, Rollins lines it over Lilly's head for a single.
- Victorino lines one between a drawn-in, diving Ramirez and the third base bag, double. Rollins to third.
- 2-0 to Utley, who takes a surprisingly pathetic swing and misses an 88 mph fastball. Brenly wants Lilly to try it again, I wouldn't tempt fate twice. Ball, 3-1 to Utley. Ohh boy.
- Utley smacks one down the first base line, but Lee makes a nice snag on a one-hopper, sort of going to one knee and spinning as he catches it behind his body. Runners hold, and he steps on first.
- 2-2 to Howard, missing high with a curve. Lilly doesn't look comfortable out there. Fastball doesn't have much zip, not good command of the curve or the fastball, and taking his time.
- Howard K's on an 84 mph.... something..... up in the zone. I think it was a fastball, which is alarming.
- Fastball looking, then slider swinging, for a 1-2 count to Ibanez. Fastball just off the outside corner, suddenly hitting 93 on the gun. Nice pitch, fooled Ibanez, didn't get the call. Probably off the plate.
- And, in a sad bit of Cubbery, Ibanez then takes a fastball that was supposed to be on the outside corner and got too much of the plate, and hits it out to dead-center for a three run homer. 0-3 Phillies
- Werth K's swinging on a change
- Momma Trans on the phone, picks a good half inning to call as Hoffpauir, Soriano and Fontenot quickly ground out to second, third and second, respectively.
- Full count, Feliz walks.
- Carlos Ruiz up, gets a 1-2 fastball, I think, up and over the middle of the plate. Feliz hits it way out to left field. 0-5 Phillies
- Lopez K's swinging.
- 0-2 to Rollins, K's swinging at..... something.... ugly, offspeed, high and outside. Missed its mark by 2 feet.
- Victornio slashes a single to center.
- Victorino runs, and seems to be safe as the short-hop causes Theriot's glove to come up before he can bring it back down for the tag. But from there Victorino overslides the bag, and tries to sneak back in to second, darting out of the way of Theriot's tag, but is called out. Ump said Victorino left the base path, wiggling around Theriot towards the outfield. Victorino candidly expresses his displeasure with this call. Pretty iffy call.
- Hill hits a soft liner to Utley's right, he makes a nice running leap to catch it.
- Lilly hits it hard, but lines out to center.
- Fukudome lines into right, and rounding the bag just modestly, Werth throws behind him to Howard and nearly gets the out.
- full count to Theriot, walks.
- 3-2 to Lee, K's swinging at an outside slider.
- Utley with an easy liner to Fontenot
- Howard K's swinging, Ibanez with a lazy grounder to Ramirez, inning over.
- Ramirez walks. 2-2 count to Hoffpauir, hits a lazy fly to center.
- Soriano hits a one-hopper right at Rollins. It takes a bizarre big hop, and Rollins totally wiffs at it. A very, very generous "hit."
- Fontenot then drives one just short of the warning track, and Ibanez catches Ramirez jogging back to 2nd and nearly picks him off.
- Hill K's looking.
- 3-1 to Werth, fastball down the middle, fouls it off. Good battle at 3-2, finally walks.
- Ick. Feliz hits a soft fly to left-center. Fukudome and Soriano both have a run to get there, but either could have caught it. Instead, each sort of peels off for the other, and it lands between them. Runners at 1 and 2.
- Slider that gets the center of the plate, Ruiz dumps it downt he left field corner for a double, Feliz to third. 0-6 Phillies.
- Lopez, who I ought to stop laughing at, strikes out
- Rollins flies down the right field line, where Hoffpauir makes a nice running catch near the stands. Werth scores, Ruiz to third, 0-7 Phillies. Another pitch that was supposed to be in and floated over the plate.
- Victorino hits a lazy fly into left-center. Soriano has to run for it, gets there in plenty of time, and just misses it. Hits off the heel of the glove. Brenly yells "IT'S BASEBALL, CATCH IT!" Ruiz scores on the error. 0-8 Phillies
- Utley singles into right, scoring victorino, but is out trying to advance to second. Inning mercifully ends at 0-9 Phillies.
- Blanco in to hit for Lilly. He drives one into the left-center alley, just barely making it into second as Victorino did a nice job of getting over there to cut it off.
- Fukudome grounds to Utley, advancing Blanco.
- Theriot with the old inside-out swing to hit one just right of center, single. Scores Blanco. 1-9 Phillies
- Lee with a shallow fly out to Ibanez
- Rodrigo F'ing Lopez K's Ramirez swinging at a fastball.
- Stevens in for long-relief, K's howeard, then gets Ibanez to pop softly to Fontenot. Nice work for the righty against two tough lefties.
- Werth pops to Lee, just in front of the Cubs' visitors dugout. Very nice work by Stevens.
- Hoffpauir pops foul, behind third base. Feliz makes the easy catch.
- Soriano with a soft blooper into shallow left-center for a single.
- Fontenot K's swinging.
- As does Hill. Suddenly Lopez is making the Cubs look foolish. No, wait, that's the Cubs doing that.
- Feliz gets jammed, hits a little pop-floater out to Blanco who is playing shortstop, and oddly makes a leap to catch a ball that could have been caught flat-footed
- and Ruiz with a much more conventionally-fielded ground ball to Blanco.
- Mercifully, Greg Dobbs comes in to hit for Lopez. Out after 97 pitches. Weakly bounces one back to Stevens for the 1-3 putout. Very nice long-relief so far.
- Chad Durbin in. Blanco hits a soft hopper up the middle, Rollins comes across second and fires to first, just getting Blanco
- Fukudome with a soft pop out to Rollins.
- I must have missed the double-switch, as with Blanco in for Theriot, Blanco is now hitting 9th, pitcher's spot second. Fox in to pinch-hit for Stevens, and hits a routine grounder to Rollins, ending the inning
- Heilman in,Hoffpauir to 1st, Lee out, Fox to Right. Heilman now hitting third, Fox second.
- Rollins with an easy fly to shallow left, Soriano catches it. Phillies fans in left field give him a sarcastic standing ovation.
- and Victorino hits one to Soriano, he makes a running, hopping catch. Stares back at the fans afterwards, it was a pretty big, dramatic hop he made for the catch.
- Bruntlett pinch hits for Utley, K's on a slider in the dirt, throw on to first to finish it. Good relief work tonight, at least.
- Baker hits for Heilman, K's swinging
- Ramirez fouls out to Ruiz, right behind home plate.
- Hoffpauir bounces out to Howard, unassisted.
- Guzman in, and Howard demolishes a fastball up and on the outer halffor an opposite field HR. 1-10 Phillies
- Ibanez K's swinging at a high fastball.
- Werth gets out in front of one and hits it over the foul pole. Called a foul. Barely. Impressive
- Guzman then K's him swinging at a high fastball. Hill seems to have thought it was the third out, and was walking toward the dugout. Good Grief.
- Feliz chops one toward the hole by short. Blanco charges in for it, double-clutches, and the throw makes Hoffpauir leap, with Feliz called safe. May have been out. Error on Blanco.
- Makes up for it when Ruiz chops one off the plate and Blanco comes in, lunges, bare-hands the ball and fires to first for the out.
- Durbin trying for the three-inning save.
- John Mayberry in right, and Soriano singles to him
- Fontenot K's swinging.
- Hill puts us out of our misery, grounding into a tailor-made 6-4-3. Do tailors still make those, or is it all Chinese sweat-shops, now?
- "Start Typing Here" joke pre-dates Jesus. It's 3/44 B.C.

Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I use the "this one is broken" line often when trying to get my waitress or bartender to bring me another bottle of beer.
I wouldn't call that Soriano error on a routine ball. The Dunns and Lees of the NL don't even get to the ball. He should have caught it though. He forgot to hop, which probably messed him up.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Looked to me like he just misplayed his approach. He tried to catch it like a Little League outfielder who's afraid of the ball. Made it a lot more difficult than it should have been.
Just wondering, don't the Cubs have anyone on the staff who is an "outfield" coach? Yknow, like DeJesus works with infielders on the side, Sinatro works with catchers, etc. And, back in the day, the outfielders at least periodically throughout the season worked on outfield skills. There has to be someone, because I'm sure Hoffpauir and Fox have done some drills since coming up.
I bet some teams still do drills. I don't think the Cubs are one of them. Soriano's "skills" in left have not sharpened one iota since he first went out there. Then again, you have to want to do it, and have to listen to your coach. I remember that Piersall had the same issue with Palmeiro when they tried to make him a left fielder.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Mike Quade is the outfield coach...
While I'm sure Dejesus works with the infielders just as much, it was my understanding that Alan Trammell is the infield coach...
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
With the glove lower....I mean, it sounds far too simple, but he was there in time, had his eye on it and let it hit the heel. Bad form, no matter how you cut it. And that's a typical Soriano clank, off the eyelets.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
If that wasn't an error, I don't know what is. He gets to the spot in plenty of time, then slows up to make the hip catch and he misses it. Dunn and Lee might not get to it, but if you DO get to it, you get your ass under it and catch the ball. Soriano did not. E7 in every ballpark, every time.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Cardinals lose to Astros, 3-2
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Thanks for following through on the recaps, Trans, despite the adverse outcomes of late. Also, I reject any hypothesis of a causal relationship.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I love the re-caps. One of my favorite aspects of TCR. The sense of community is heartening. Keep 'em coming!
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Are you saying the TCR mascot is an obscure cartoon character??
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
the media likes him because he's such a good interview...
He spent only a couple of minutes with media and spoke softly and tersely.
How long will the two work?
"That's between us," Bradley said.
What did they work on?
"We're working."
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Hopefully Lou is "working" with Hendry on shipping this malcontent's ass out of town. I have hated a few Cubs in the past (Hundley, Cotts, etc.), but in less than 100 games I think Bradley has slid to the top (or bottom) of the rankings.
Bradley since All-Star Break: 2-12 (.167) and 2 benchings. So Bradley has gotten as many hits as he has been benched since the break. That's a good start!!
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I caught about an inning of the game between other projects. Looks like I missed far more on Parachat than the game. Thoughts to Momma Trans.
As far as the Romans thing, as O.Julius, I'd just like to point out: Christianity, Western Civilization, roads, urban development, trade (shared with others, natch), and marrying underage girls. All but the last are net positives, IMO.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Yeah, meant to express that myself--best to Momma Trans.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Well, we clearly are not playing the Nationals anymore. The Phils are legit and if we can just take 1 of the 3, I will be happy. Just don't get swept...
Go Cubs!
Larry Rothschild Prank?
Re: Larry Rothschild Prank?
I don't know what Rothschild sounds like, since our nearly hourly conversations ended when we had our big blowout 20 years ago, but I sure hope it's him. I can't believe the original poster actually seems pleased with himself for calling him once a month. That's stalker material.
Re: Larry Rothschild Prank?
That's definitely Rothschild.
Re: Larry Rothschild Prank?
Their critique of Steve Stone's tweets is pretty good too.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
There you go again, Mr. Gorbachev, the WHOLE team stinks up the place and there you are blaming the guy WHO DIDN'T PLAY.
I am sick of Bradley subtractors. Not one positive statement for a guy who obviously has not filled in the blanks of the chemistry of this team, has obviously taken the weight of the injuries upon himself and every sticking time we hear he is his own worst critic some of you take that to mean he's selfish. Didn't you hear any commentator last night that said Rollins had a horrible first half? He's still in there because Charlie M. has faith in him, but Lou and you decided MB doesn't have it anymore. Just watch if he gets cut or traded, he will murder Cubs pitching - is THAT what you want?
Soto didn't play, Soriano dropped a little leaguer, Koyie didn't connect to an 88 MPH fastball and it's BRADLEY's fault. Lay off. Find another water cooler. Take a cold shower and beg her to do it, whatever - would you just stop the maliciousness toward Milton and just let him play his way through it already?
You have the right to remain silent. Please.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
What exactly is a 'Bradley subtractor'? Does it means someone who wants him to subtract him off the Cubs?
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Bradley is basically bearing the brunt of the actions of two people -- his remarkably poor performance, and Hendry's remarkaby poor decision to sign him. Bradley's mouth -- "I'm back", "I will hit the entire second half" -- creates unnecessary problems for himself. His willingness to take close pitches with 2 strikes, then get upset at the umprire, does not play well in Chicago -- it indicates a lack of heart (hoping for a walk) and effort. In the city of Walter Payton and Michael Jordan, hoping for a walk doesn't cut it.
Hendry took a big gamble in assuming Bradley could handle the Wrigley heat. Most predicted he couldn't, and he clearly can't. The Lou tutoring will liley push him over the edge.
When you take a big gamble and win, you should be rewarded. When you take a big gamble and lose, there should be consequences.
Hendry shoud be fired. He is an average GM with a huge payroll, who took a big, unnecessary gamble and lost.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I don't think an "average GM" makes the playoffs 3 times in 6 years, at least not an average Cubs GM. If a GM should get fired for every bad offseason decision he makes, the average GM would last about two years. I agree that Hendry had a bad offseason, and that the Bradley signing was a risk. But a failure to make the playoffs for a third year in a row (assuming the Cubs do not) is hardly a firing offense, no matter what the payroll. If Hendry were with the Mets, he'd have a 10-year contract extension by now. And if Hendry were fired, who exactly should replace him?
Dallas Green is the only GM that even approaches Hendry in terms of quality and results in the last 50 years. And not every decision this past offseason was wrong - Gregg is having much better year than Wood is in Cleveland. Hendry didn't pull the trigger on Peavy, and now Peavy is hurt. I'm fairly certain that Marquis will have his typical lousy August and September.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
dallas green never had a blank check.
i could build a playoff team if i had the ability to out-spend any team not named the Yankees.

"...batting fourth and playing shortstop, Cesar Izturis..."
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
dude, it's traditional to bat your best hitter 3rd.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I agree that Hendry is much better than average. I always felt it's the GM's job to get you to the playoffs and the manager's job to win. Hendry's done well in that regard. But he most certainly has had a terrible off season. And he has painted himself into a corner with a few contracts - but I think he kinda knew this would likely happen with Soriano. I'm not as confident that Marquis will fall down anytime soon, but over the last four years the majority of his deals have helped a lot.
Firing Dallas Green sent the Cubs on a tailspin that lasted at least up until John Schuerholz turned down the job of club president, and beyond that if you are of a mind to believe that they wouldn't be in the position where they had to hire their third choice (MacPhail). Green's last managerial appointment was questionable at best, but the system was producing and he had a finger on the 25-man pulse and was about to hire Vukovich (or himself as it transpired) when the ax fell. I believe he could have been a Hendry-an spender (which probably prompted the firing), but it would have been mostly smart money.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I'm willing to bet there are a lot of Cub fans who are "Bradley subtractors."
Sorry that fans are pissed at the new FA acquisition who, after having a career season which he has never previously approached, is not even hitting his career averages. Then, this guy does about everything wrong...bad defense, bad baserunning, blaming umpires, prdicting he will hit in the second half...and coming out 2 for 12..
Waahhhh...no sympathy for Milton Bradley. None.

Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I understand the Bradley bashing, I'm in that corner as well, but what I don't understand is that Soriano has been worse at the plate (at least Milty can walk). Sori at best is sub-.250 and a lackadaisical LF'er.
Maybe it's comparing cow crap to bull crap, but it's all crap just the same. This has to be two of the worst Of'ers the Cubs have had in a while. If they get hot, they are amazing, but their suck parade has been going on for too long now.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Agree. And when you take in consideration the pathetic OF defense it only adds to the suckitude.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Sad thing is that we're stuck with Sori for 5 more years, and after a game or two, Bradley for another 2.
As the great poet Chief Wiggum said as his tie was stuck in the hot dog roller at the Kwik-E-Mart, "This is going to get worse before it gets better."
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Who's more pathetic...Discuss!!
Soriano: .244/.309/.436, 16 HR, 38 RBI
Bradley: .239/.372/.369, 6 HR, 21 RBI
Granted, Soriano had 120 more at bats..
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
For all his madness, I thnk Soriano has been a positive for the team since his arrival.
- He was huge in Sept. 2007, when the Cubs were battling the Brewers.
- He has been the team's best power hitter
- He has had several late-game HRs and walk-off hits.
- For a while, he was throwing out a lot of base-runners.
- He has been a key part of back-to-back division champs.
- Plus, he seesm a likable guy.
Bradley hasn't contributed yet. He came into the spotlight, and has not performed. While losing track of the outs didn't cost them any runs, it's a ridiculous and memorable moment.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
how about giving Milton more than a few months to see if he's a positive before we write him off?
Soriano's 2007 wasn't much until September (good June, decent May, atrocious April, July and August along with an injury in there)
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
A video of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews in the nude has hit the Internet. Having watching it for "journalistic" reasons, it's is clearly staged. She issued a statement today that she is going to press charges against whomever filmed her through a peephole, and sue any website that posts it. If you watch it, she's standing around naked for five minutes, working on her hair, while also doing butt squats and touching her butt. On top of that, the peephole looks rather large, and the guy filming is making all kinds of noise, including breathing heavy, from what looks like just a few feet away. Just a shameless attempt to get her name and assets out there more prominently, that's my opinion. Then again, if attractive women want to float naked video's of themselves around, who am I to complain?
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10

Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Lou said that he'd start Bradley tomorrow and on the homestand.
I could definitely understand why you would want Skinny Dick in the lineup over Bradley in a park like Philadelphia's. That's just common sense. 1 or 2 runs should win it.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Anyone heard if there is an amber alert for Jake Fox? He seems to missing from this lineup.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
What about the Amber Alert for Milton Bradley? 3 straight days he has been benched? And he has actually hit Blanton pretty good, albeit in small a sample size.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Unless Geo returns or they add another catcher, I doubt if we'll see much of Fox.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
It's pretty obvious Hill's bat needs a game off.... well, I mean that his bat would benefit from a game off, it's been taking a few games off. He's hitting .202 versus lefthanders... when's that earn him a 3 day ride on the bench?
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
How can you tell he needs a day off, isn't .202 around his career average? I doubt we'll see Fox actually start a game at catcher.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
I just assume that players can't get to the majors without swinging through 88 MPH fastballs. Call up another catcher and send Fox or Blanco down if Fox isn't going to be playing any games.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Ease back on Koyie Hill. He's already got his hit for the week and it's only Tuesday.

Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
Part of the package includes a trip for Kirk's family to attend a Cubs game at Wrigley Field this season. While there, Kirk will have the chance to work out in the bullpen with the Cubs' staff.

Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
evidently if you don't hit homers you're useless.
bradley's been getting on base at a near .400 clip since his pathetic april ended.
he got benched yesterday vs. a guy who throws wild and high which is just about perfect for a guy like bradley.
bench him vs. blanton and yesterday's plaything then send him out to face a lefty crapballer...brilliant.

2/2 with a HR, 2b and a BB versus Moyer, other HR came off Mesa.
damn stats.
-edit- so 5/18 with a HR and a 3B somewhere else...and the game was in Philly.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
my bad...missed a homer.
still, take your numbers and wrap them in a blanket around you. then take your memories of watching bradley work the offspeed stuff lately.
hope his days off in the cage has helped him hit something besides BP fastballs and machine tosses.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
The man has 21 RBI in 222 AB. That would suck if he were a #2 hitter.
He strikes out a lot (52 in 222 AB), give that he hits for no power (6 HR).
He has zero stolen bases.
Not sure what we're getting from that nifty OBP.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
6 HRs and 21 RBIs is sucky for a 2nd hitter and shows no power. How much power did Theriot exhibit last year?
"Not sure what we're getting from that nifty OBP."
Well among other things we get longer innings for the opposing pitcher, and an opportunity for the guy behind him to bat with an additional runner on base.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
when you're on first..unless you're gonna run you gotta have others cash you in.
guy spent a lotta time batting 3/4/5...he wasn't cashing in runners and no one was cashing him in.
his RBI totals are wonky...someone spending that much time in the 3/4/5 slot should have more RBIs than that even with only 6hr/9doubles.
hell, if it wasn't for the Ks he probably should be a #2 hitter at this point. he can work a count, but you can't count on him for contact even with stuff in his zone.
Re: Game 91 Recap: Cubs 1, Phillies 10
And another thing, isn't Von Joshua supposed to be the hitting coach? MB really merits a special Lou doghouse for the personal treatment. I tell you what, get Josh Hamilton to hit near MB, hire Rudy Jamarillo and listen for the thunder.

If Hendry doesn't make a move with the manager THEN he is in jeopardy of losing his job.
As Brenly said last night, if you expect to make the playoffs then every 90 feet is important. Harden bunted the wrong way. 1 out later (granted, the next inning) Theriot singled to right, which would have scored the winning run.
Yet this board continues to rag on MB. (And Brenly predicted the scouting report on his PH, that is, pitch him in to break his bat)

Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

MySpace has banned 90,000 sexual predators from its social networking web site, and has turned the names over to two different attorneys general offices, company officials recently announced.
The total number of 90,000 is twice as many as MySpace officials believed it had removed in 2008, with North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper and Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal leading the charge.
"Almost 100,000 convicted sex offenders mixing with children on MySpace -- shown by our subpoena -- is absolutely appalling and totally unacceptable," Blumenthal said in a statement issued to the press. "For every one of them, there may be hundreds of others using false names and ages."
MySpace competitor Facebook, which is the No. 1 social networking web site in the world, have a combined 280 million users -- and the U.S. government wants both sites to do a better job of protecting children and teenagers from sexual predators.
Last year, both companies agreed to work with lawmakers to create security standards to help protect young people from online predators, after parents and politicians said the sites weren't doing enough.
"We've been working productively with Attorney General Blumenthal's office for more than three years on these issues," Facebook chief privacy officer Chris Kelly said in a published statement. "They recently let us know that they are planning to send an updated subpoena."
Now that MySpace is done kicking 90,000 sexual predators off the internet, Facebook is expected to announce how many people it has removed sometime in the near future.
After the KIDS Act of 2007 was signed into law in 2008, all registered sex offenders must now submit real e-mail and instant messaging account information to the national sex offender registry. This is done so sites such as MySpace and Facebook are able to better track sexual offenders.
It's unknown how many registered sex offenders use social networking web sites with false identities, so this ultimately is just the tip of the iceberg.
quote: Adults are different - and its no more dangerous than approaching someone on a dating website or in a bar. It's easy to say these people don't have any rights but that's more to judge on a case by case basis (Why arent sex offenders records tiered?). This is invasive and unnecessary in most instances.
quote: People who commit any kind of crime are going to be more prime candidates to commit the same crime again.
quote: Why is it only sexually based crimes are the ones that essentially come with life on parole?
quote: There are people who roam the streets after killing someone in cold blood, and there are people who got drunk and grabbed some girls ass at a frat party... Yet person 2 essentially has their life ruined because they registered as a sex offender.
quote: I am in support of segregation as well as removing certain liberties for people who deserve it, but until the system is tiered I don't think its fair to just lump everyone together.
quote: The problem is that sex offenders have a track record of trying to lure people to commit sexual acts against them without their consent.
quote: Should we glue a neon sign above their head equivocal to "rapist"
quote: Maybe at 45 they are unfit to work in a school or live in a certain neighborhood?
quote: What about when hes older and not allowed in certain retirement communities? Is that justice?
quote: did you never make any mistakes or choices in your youth (not just under 18) which may be frowned upon as an adult?
quote: Do you think every choice no matter what level should haunt someone for life?
quote: How about we get forehead tattoos that just say "bad man"?
quote: quote: Should we glue a neon sign above their head equivocal to "rapist" Fine by me.
quote: Should we glue a neon sign above their head equivocal to "rapist"
quote: The argument was a neon sign that says rapist above the head of someone who urinated on someones shoes raising a point that they are indeed not rapists.
quote: Yes. I don't want a former sexual offender working in school that my kids attend, nor do I want them living in my neighborhood where my children play.
quote: There you go generalizing an overly broad group with those of the extreme end to validate your point . Your overly paranoid because you think everyone tagged a sexual offender is a child molester.
quote: Its like dealing with someones super religious mom who thinks all of her sons friends are "devil worshipers" because they listen to that "rock and roll noise"
quote: That exact arrogant mentality is precisely whats destroying the american legal system right now law by law.
quote: No, i believe than anyone who has committed a sexual crime, regardless of how bad or the age of the person violated, has the potential to not only do it again, but to also do something even worse.
quote: Case studies have proven that sexual crimes against minors when performed by adults are indeed not truly sexual in nature.
quote: An adult who commits a sexual act on a child probably has a subconscious mental issue.
quote: An adult who commits a sexual act on another adult is usually very horny and cant control their inhibitions.
quote: I am advocating recognition of severity for the people who don't deserve a lifelong penal system hazing by generic labeling.
quote: I would bet my life savings you would get 2 starkly different results when giving those people a questioneer on their thoughts.

These pads are such a handy size - they slip into a purse, pocket, briefcase etc. and are easy to grab for a quick jot! The paper quality is top notch, no bleed through and the tear-off is nice and clean.I would really like to have a non - leather holder option but, as they are such a convenient size, I just use them on their own without a holder. Really useful product.
Perfect Fit
By Woodpecker

Swiftnotes is perfect for a purse, tote, or any type of baggage. The refills are of a sturdy quality. They fit nicely in the Swiftnote holder.
Levenger Delivers
By kitkat
from San Francisco, CA
This product earns the most improved award. The Swiftnotes refills fit perfectly in the jotter. I've purchased the refills before but the paper seemed flimsy and never tore off the pad properly. Now, the sheets of paper always leave a clean tear and the ink never bleeds through. Overall, I give the refills 5 stars. I was so pleased with the product, I bought 8 refills. Worth every penny.
Wonderful Pads

Planning a Green Day set in 2010 must be a bitch. Half the audience wants Broadway-musical-inspiring opuses about love, war and Really Meaningful Things; the other half still idolizes 16-year-old songs about jacking off from an album named after excrement. At Tuesday night's tour kickoff at Camden, New Jersey's Susquehanna Bank Center, the band split the difference with a blistering 2-hour-and-40-minute set that was part post-American Idiot greatest hits and part pop-punk history lesson.
As the lights dropped, fans rose to chant the mournful "Song of the Century," giving it the same

Reading data off of mechanical hard disks is an expensive operation since it is, well, a mechanical process that involves a very large number of seeks to gather data into a useful (contiguous) form.
Here, we meet Architect Ruston Panabaker who is on a team of talented hardware-oriented folks that have built native support into Windows Vista for hybrid hard drives. Hybrid hard drive? What's that? Tune in and learn. You'll also get to see how great Windows Vista can perform on a machine with one of these new types of hard drives. Most cool.
Oops, something didn't work.
I'd think the main advantage of ReadyBoost is that you can leverage it with a reasonably fast USB stick and probably just about any relatively modern computer. You can't use ReadyDrive unless you have a hybrid drive.joeypruett wrote:I love this stuff! I can seem some differences between ReadyDrive and ReadyBoost - such as wanting your hibernate file in flash that can't be removed from the machine - but otherwise, they seem similar. Are there any other differences?
BryanF wrote:Regarding the ability for OEMs to choose which applications are cached, is there a way for users to modify or shutoff this feature? I'm sorry if it seems rather cynical, but previous examples of letting OEMs control the software experience have been less than encouraging.
It makes me think ...
Today I can buy a 300GB hardisk at low cost, but still the mechanical factor makes it slow for loading Windows, VisualStudio, games and so on... Year by year the disk is bigger, but is not so faster.
So... thinking in year 2012 I hope not to have a market with 10TB disks still suffering with the "impedance mismatch" (if i can say it) of mechanical pieces. I would preffer to have a 100GB storage device, but purely electronic, fast and persistent.
Anybody knows if that kind of technology exists today, at least as a protoype? I mean... somenthing like a beyond-flash memory. Where are the links/articles about them?
I think the hard disk (for day-to-day working) should be the next piece on a museum, following the CRTs and Diskettes.
this is cool. But I think the real solution to the Hard-drive performance problem is to have hard drives with multi-reader heads, that will enable multiple queries or read/write operations happening simultanously. So, one can have a drive with a circular readors mounted on top of the hard drive surface, and these multiple heads will do the read write as the surface is spinning. So like a circle (heads circle ) on top of the actual surface (on top could be ont he top surface or bottom surface or both). So you have these heads organized in a circle on top or on the bottom surfaces of the actual drive surface doing Read/Write operations concurrently. This in addition to the hybrid idea can improve the performance significantly. Would not that be the case?
But cool Video. And the sound quality of this video is super.
Well, I guess what I was really getting at is how hard is it going to be few the user to correct this optimization? Will I have to comb through the registry manually? Or will there be a software explorer similar to those in Defender?cwilliams1145 wrote:It was metnioned in the video that this will be controlled through registry settings, so yes this is configurable. He gave an example of being able to add LOB apps to the list of cached apps.
Jack Poison wrote:I wonder how long it will take Apple or any of the Open Source OS's to utilize these features.

I don't understand why this would/should be limited to Vista... This seems like the caching should be controlled in the drive firmware rather than the OS.
I would expect that you will soon see the cache utilization built right into the drive firmware so you get the same benefits of a flash cached hard drive.
This is not much different from SQL servers cache. The main difference is that you are using non-volitile ram rather than dram... so on power off the cache remains and can be used for booting as well. But, Personally, I leave my PC on all the time, so boot up time isn't a big deal.

With the new Core 2 Duo chips, that underclock themself drasticly, and are 65nm, and use next to no power, when on idle, this is really looking good.

How will Hybrid hard drive technology work out with striping RAID setups?
Hey Chadk,
To answer your question about SATA 2: these drives will come in both PATA and SATA varieties. In fact, I would expect mostly SATA (and SATA 2) based drives moving forward.
What is the advantage of putting the cache in the HDD instead of on either the motherboard or a normal SATA connection?
To me, the disadvantage seems to be that you can't freely decide the size of the flash and can't add/remove the flash at a later time.
Hi Ruston,
It's Devon - amazing that I came across this interview of yours conducting research on mobile storage systems...
Congrats - sounds like a great innovation - I'd imagine this hybrid technology will be the magic bullet to enabling the upcoming terabyte drives to perform adequately even with extensive fragmentation.
Question - has this technology been designed to work in conjunction with RAID 5 (among others) to max peformance in both stripped sets and mirrored sets and combinations thereof? Could this point to a new RAID possibility or a new standard altogether? Any hints you can pass over the NDA?
Aside from that - how the heck are you????
A very long time indeed - I'm currently working as an IT Project Manager and Business Systems Analyst in the Scottish Borders, UK...
Love to hear from you sometime and catch up on what has transpired since J.D...
drop me a line at email@example.com
Skype: devon.leslie
Best of luck on the launch - please give my best to anyone you still may be in contact with...

Quick for a quick diaper change Review by cailleach
Price Value Quality
I love all of my quicks. They are the perfect pouch to hang onto your stroller, fit into your diaper bag, use to organize items within your house, or to use as wristlet purse. I mostly use mine for diaper changing as I can fit several disposable diapers, change pad, pack of wipes, and diaper cream. Instead of taking my entire diaper bag with me for a diaper change, I only take my be quick. I have given so many as shower gifts filled with baby necessities! (Posted on 11/6/13)
Totally Awesome! Review by pandachan
Value Quality Price
Quick, easy, affordable and super versatile!
I use the quicks for everything literally! it is as its name! Be Quick!
When i'm out with the kids, they are use to store a small pack of wipes, some snacks.
When I'm needing to do a quick outting and not wanting to bring my purse, it carries my wallet, change purse, keys!
I have mutliples of quicks so one of them is my medical kit containing extra bandages, alcohol wipes and such as well, and I also use one to store a set of extra undies/shorts for my kids(we're potty training)

After a cold end to the work week, and a freezing start to the weekend, Houston will warm up nicely today with highs rising to about 60 today, and near 70 on Sunday.
There will be lots of sunshine all weekend.
Alas the fun ends on Monday, with the arrival of another Arctic front. Temperatures should fall to freezing levels, or just above them on Tuesday morning, and then plunge into the mid-20s on Wednesday morning.
Although the initial passage of the front looks to be dry, some forecast models now indicate the possible development of some light rain, or possibly sleet, on Tuesday afternoon and evening, National Weather Service forecasters say. There's little consistency in the models, so all we can really do right now is keep an eye on this possibility.
If you're tired of winter, the good news is that after the next Arctic front it looks like we'll see a break from the very cold weather for awhile.
Are you ready for some 70s?

Only the accountants at Ernst & Young – the official vote-counters for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences – know who will take home an Emmy during Sunday's ceremony.
Until then it's anyone's guess. But we can tell you which Emmy nominees are getting the most buzz among 170.89 million Facebook users in the U.S.
Based on the number of "Likes" and the number of mentions on the social networking site, it seems Sofia Vergara is a fan favorite. The Modern Family star leads over Kristen Wiig, Mayim Bialik, Julie Bowen, Merritt Wever and Kathryn Joosten for the supporting comedy actress category.
In the lead actress in a comedy category it's less clear whom the Facebook users are rooting for. Zooey Deschanel has more "Likes" than her fellow nominees Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, Lena Dunham and Edie Falco. However, Tina Fey has had more mentions on Facebook since the nominations were announced on July 19.
For the men, The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons has more "Likes" than his fellow nominees Louis C.K., Larry David, Alec Baldwin, Don Cheadle and Jon Cryer. But C.K., Baldwin and David have had more mentions.
Eric Stonestreet of Modern Family has the most "Likes" in the supporting actor category, followed by his costar Ed O'Neill, SNL's Bill Hader, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Max Greenfield. But Hader leads in mentions.
Lead actress nominee Claire Danes leads with "Likes" over the rest of her category: Kathy Bates, Juilanna Margulies, Glenn Close, Elisabeth Moss and Michelle Dockery. But Bates, who recently announced she has undergone treatment for breast cancer, has had more mentions.
Dexter's Michael C. Hall leads the men in "Likes" in the drama series category, followed by Bryan Cranston, Steve Buscemi, Jon Hamm, Damian Lewis, Hugh Bonneville. But Breaking Bad's Cranston, Buscemi and Hamm have had more mentions.
Which comedy series has the most likes? The Big Bang Theory, followed by Modern Family, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Girls and Veep.
For drama, Game of Thrones is king of the "Likes," followed by Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey and Homeland. But when it comes to getting Facebook users posting, Breaking Bad leads, followed by Homeland, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire.
So, can Facebook determine who will win? Find out on Sunday.
The 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air live on ABC Sunday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. ET from the Nokia Theatre L.A.

I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I created some charts.
I found it was difficult to resize the legend box, e.g. increase the width.
Is it possible to resize the legend box?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Holdup,
Unfortunately there seems to be no direct option, only way is to drag the border of the legend box.
- Kiran
Thank you kiran,
I drag, but can't work properly.
The Legend cannot be 're-sized', it can only be 'moved'.
You may create this as an Enhancement at https://ideas.sap.com.
Thank you Abhilash.
Try to expand the Chart by using Arrow options and then expand the Legends section.
Hope this works,
- Kiran
Thank you Kiran,
I tried, but it could not work.
Maybe the version I am using is old.

Milk Producers Council's Board of Directors Announces Addition of Kevin Abernathy
Milk Producers Council's Board of Directors Announces Addition of Kevin Abernathy
Organization is Poised to be a Stronger Statewide Representative on Behalf of California's Dairy Families
Today the Board of Directors of Milk Producers Council (MPC) announced the addition of Kevin Abernathy to the leadership of MPC. Kevin, who will serve as the organization's Director of Regulatory Affairs, has a long history working in the California dairy industry. His involvement includes:
· Seven years as the Executive Director of California Dairy Campaign, a dairy farmer trade association based in Turlock, CA.
· Member of U.S. Department of Agriculture's Air Quality Task Force
· Served on countless State and local environmental committees and working groups
· Six years as Western States Territory Manager for Brown Equipment Company (BECO)
· Graduated from California State University, Fresno with a degree in Animal Science
MPC is a voluntary, non-profit trade association that has been representing California dairy farmers since 1949. The organization provides a full slate of services for its members, ranging from local issues – like obtaining local air permits and navigating state regulations – to national issues – like representing our membership in Washington, DC, on reforms to our Federal safety net policies and repealing subsidies for corn-based ethanol.
"The board is thrilled to have a high-caliber individual like Kevin working with our General Manager, Rob Vandenheuvel, on behalf of our membership," said MPC President Sybrand Vander Dussen. "I see this as a rare opportunity to combine the unique, individual talents of two industry leaders under one umbrella, in an effort to strengthen the voice of California's dairy families to an unprecedented level."
As a voluntary trade association, MPC relies on the financial support of our dairy members and allied industry partners. "We have a strong, committed membership supporting MPC, and we take pride in providing high-quality leadership and representation for our members," said Rob Vandenheuvel, MPC's General Manager. "We are looking to provide that same high-quality level of service – now with the addition of Kevin to the team – to a larger membership. The MPC board and staff strongly urge dairies throughout California to consider a membership with MPC. We have serious issues facing our industry, and MPC has been, and will continue to be, a leading pro-producer organization working on our members' behalf."
Dairies and allied industry partners interested in joining MPC can download a membership form on our website at www.milkproducers.org. Alternatively, we can be reached at (909) 628-6018 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

af marianalis 8. marts 2008
A supervisor at TCAT in Ithaca, StopSign is known for hiding (in a wannabee cop car Chevy Impala) to catch a TCAT bus not coming to a FULL and COMPLETE stop at all stop signs. Matters not if this stop sign is at an intersection that has a traffic count of 5 cars per day. Doesn't matter tho - the drivers text each oghter with StopSign's location!!! Also known for correcting himself by saying "as you were" on the 2 way radio. Most would say "correction". Not StopSign! A former army private who also got fired from his last job at a school district. Definiely fat in the administative budget that needs to be fired - yet again!

From Cambridge to the Philippines, from Philadelphia to Bangladesh, from Kenya to Sri Lanka, the Public Service Center has facilitated projects that take MIT students across the street and around the world. While some students focus on a project in their hometown, working with a community close to their heart, other students travel to foreign countries, learning to adjust to climates and cultures far different from their own.
Whether it's the development of an ecology curriculum for a Cambridge High School, or the design of a ceramic water filter for rural Nicaraguans, the locations are as varied as the projects and people themselves. To read more about the projects students are participating, click on the images below.
