The Moosalp region is renowned as a family-friendly ski area. Away from the crowded slopes of the larger winter destinations, it is small enough to have a personal and friendly atmosphere. Drink in the peace and quiet on the winter hiking trail from Törbel to Bürchen. Appropriately named the "panorama terrace", this route affords magnificent views of the four thousand metre high peaks by the Matter and Saas Valleys, the peaks of the Aletsch region and of the Bietschhorn. Take the post bus from Visp or Stalden to the starting point at Törbel/Furen. Densely clustered sun-drenched wooden houses mark the townscape. The cleared trail rises gently as it crosses snowy meadows to the hamlet of Hostettu and then runs through open forest to the Alp Diepja above Zeneggen. From here, cross the Obere Hellela to the post bus stop Bürchen/Ronalp, the end of the hike. Or you can extend your walk via Unterbäch/Brand to Eischoll/Strygge.

ALBANY – Senate Republicans want to add more casinos in New York State, but not in Western New York.
The GOP's casino expansion plan protects the Seneca Nation of Indians' three casino investments in the region by honoring a decade-old compact between the state and tribe to keep new Las Vegas-style casinos from locating in a large portion of the region.
Legislation is being drafted that restricts the first of three possible casino locations to Sullivan County in the Catskills, the Tioga area west of Binghamton, and Saratoga or Washington counties north of Albany, according to Sen. John Bonacic, chairman of the Senate Racing and Wagering Committee.
All three are now home to racetrack-based casinos, and Bonacic, an Orange County Republican who represents the southern Catskills, said the existing "racinos" in those three areas should be given a preference "unless something better comes along."
The state already has a compact with the Seneca Nation giving the nation exclusive rights to operate its three casinos in a large portion of the region that stretches north and south along State Route 14, north to Lake Ontario and south to Pennsylvania and as far west the Canadian border and Lake Erie, Bonacic said in an interview.
The compact is subject of a nasty dispute between the tribe and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's administration and is now before an arbitration panel.
In addition, Bonacic said, Western New York might not be able to handle any further casinos.
Cuomo has threatened to put another casino in Niagara Falls, but most Albany insiders saw that as a threat to move the Senecas at the negotiating table over the tribe's refusal to pay $600 million in casino revenue-sharing payments to the state and localities the past several years.
"There's a legal compact there, and you already have three casinos in the Buffalo area," Bonacic said of the Seneca sites. "And I don't believe in saturation. I don't think it's good business in terms of return to the State of New York to put a fourth one up there to compete for the same dollar when you have three."
The Seneca Nation has been a big political supporter of the Senate Republican conference, pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars to individual senators and the central GOP campaign account in recent years.
Bonacic said the Senate plan, which could be presented to Cuomo as soon as today, also would not allow new casinos near an existing St. Regis Mohawk gambling hall in Northern New York that is also subject to a revenue-sharing compact. But it would leave open the possibility of new gambling competition near the Oneida Nation's Central New York casino.
The Senate GOP plan calls for a timetable: The first casino would be licensed for the Catskills by June 2014, with the next either near Binghamton or Saratoga within six months to a year after that. The legislation will not propose where a fourth casino might be located, but it leaves Queens – home to a large racino at Aqueduct racetrack – as a possible site.
Cuomo and lawmakers are pushing a plan to permit up to seven full-blown casinos on non-Indian lands. The idea received its first required passage last year and needs approval again by lawmakers this year to change the state's constitutional ban on such non-Indian casinos.
Voters statewide would get their chance to consider the plan in a referendum, likely this November, if Cuomo and lawmakers agree on a final deal before the session ends in June.
Bonacic said Senate Republicans believe any casino deal approved this year must identify the general regions where all seven casinos might locate.
"I do believe the voter has to know where they are going," he said.
Cuomo has said he also wants the first three casinos to be limited to upstate, though he has not specified what that means.

Curiosity and the thrill of competition drive five Maui High School students to spend hours preparing for science competitions that feature concepts that may seem mundane or complex to the ordinary person but, for the students, are interesting yet way beyond their high school studies.
Maui High School junior Riley Camp, who is part of Maui High School's two winning science competition teams, said that he has a "natural interest in science" and finds understanding and learning about new things fun.
The Wailuku resident, who is considering studying aerospace engineering in college, said that he enjoys competition, especially when he and his teammates can see how their hard work pays off.

Maui High School's Ocean Science Bowl team again captured the Aloha Bowl Regional Ocean Science Competition at the University of Hawaii at Manoa on Saturday. This was the team's second state win in a row. Pictured are coach Ed Ginoza (from left), juniors Riley Camp, Gabriel Salazar, Bryson Galapon, senior and team captain Steven Okada and sophomore Christopher Kim. The students each received a $200 Amazon gift card and a trip to the finals in Milwaukee, Wis.
MHS coach and retired science teacher Ed Ginoza added: "My philosophy, is always, nothing is interesting until you understand it. Once you understand it, then everything is interesting."
Ginoza said that the more science material he gives senior Steven Okada "the more fascinated he gets."
Okada, captain for both Maui High's state champion Science Bowl and Ocean Science Bowl teams, will breeze through science books in two days, Ginoza said.
He added that even after the students practice and compete with one another several hours a day, some students are disappointed when it's time to go home, as they enjoy the competition. Students want to meet during vacations, and one suggested meeting over the summer to prepare and study for the competition, Ginoza added.
On Saturday, Okada and his Maui High School Ocean Science Bowl team captured the Aloha Bowl Regional Ocean Science Competition at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
King Kekaulike High School's team placed fourth in the competition, which featured 13 Hawaii teams, Ginoza said.
Defending champion Maui High beat Oahu private school Punahou twice to be crowned the champion.
Last year, the Sabers went to the National Ocean Science Bowl, where they finished sixth in the competition.
On Jan. 26, the same Maui High lineup, which also includes juniors Bryson Galapon and Gabriel Salazar and sophomore Christopher Kim, took the state Science Bowl championship. The public high school defeated an Oahu private school, Iolani, to take the title. The Science Bowl win was the Sabers' fifth state title since 2002. They advance to the national finals in Chevy Chase, Md., from April 25 to 29.
The Aloha Bowl Regional Ocean Science Competition title captured Saturday is Maui High's sixth in 11 years. The team heads to Milwaukee, Wis., for the national competition, to run from April 18 to 21. The theme of this year's competition is "The Great Lakes: A Window into Freshwater Science."
"I feel that by our winning we have shown what public school students are capable of doing," Ginoza said in an email. "We try to be a model for what is possible, and we feel that we have an impact on other schools."
He added that he was pleased to see more public schools in this year's competition.
In Saturday's competition, students went through round robin morning rounds and afternoon double-elimination rounds. Students used buzzers to ring in with a correct answer. There was also a written team competition.
Subject matter covered included physical oceanography, marine biology, marine policy, chemistry, physics, math, geology, geography, social science and astronomy.
Questions included having the students reproduce the reaction that occurs during photosynthesis and anaerobic respiration, and asking which state is receiving the most debris from the Japan tsunami. (The correct answer for the debris question is Oregon.)
Ginoza said that after some questions were read, a volunteer at the competition who has a master's degree in oceanography wondered how high school students could answer some of the questions.
Ginoza added that none of the students, nor himself, ever took a course in oceanography, but they studied it.
"One of the greatest advantages of competing in the Ocean Science Bowl is that students that take it seriously learn study skills that prepare them for college. At the same time, it teaches them teamwork and gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment," Ginoza wrote.
Camp agreed, noting that he is learning things that will help him in the future.
"Just anything we do now with science and stuff will help us later in life," he said.
Ginoza said that since some of the students have learned so much through studying for the competitions they are considering taking an advanced-placement environmental science exam for college credit. Normally students enroll in subject-specific advanced-placement courses in high school prior to taking the advanced-placement exams in specific subject areas. The classes help students prepare for the exams.

The small historic town of Weesen on the shores of the Walensee also belongs to the small holiday region of Amden-Weesen in the canton of St. Gallen. The two locations of Amden and Weesen complement one another with their summer and winter attractions and combine an Alpine idyll with a southern beach atmosphere.
In summer, Amden-Weesen invites guests to relax and enjoy themselves. The Walensee offers a wealth of cooling summer pursuits, whether on water-skis, a surfboard, boat or underwater diving. In addition to less energetic sporting activities such as tennis, vita parcours and fishing, more courageous visitors can test their skills at abseiling down the Amden dam, climbing in the nearby Churfirst region, paragliding from Pizol, canyoning in the Rombach gorge or even sky skiing on the Walensee.
The mountain station (1300m) of the Mattstock chairlift is a popular starting point for hikes along the 110 km of marked walking trails in the holiday region. The Amden high-Alpine route from Amden to the neighbouring village of Arvenbüel leads through protected moor land. Alternatively, walkers with an interest in geology can find out more about the geological formation of the region on the geological trail which starts in Schänis and leads to Amden via Weesen.
Amden becomes a snow paradise in the winter, especially for families. This south-facing ski region in the protection of the mountains promises long hours of sunshine. 25 km of pistes offer variety for every age group. The Arvenbüel ski carousel is ideal for beginners, whilst the Mattstock face and the Bärenfall region are also suitable for experienced skiers.
For non-skiers there are also winter walking trails, snow-shoe tours, a floodlit natural ice field and toboggan runs.
- Walensee – swimming, waterskiing, windsurfing, diving, canoeing, boat cruises and sailing.
- Betlis – the small village on the lakeshore is renowned for its mild climate. In spring, as well as after intense rainfall, the imposing Seerenabach waterfalls constitute an impressive sight.
- High moor land near Amden – wet, barren, acidic soils and vegetation adapted to such conditions form a protected landscape here of national importance.
- Geological Trail – the Schänis-Weesen-Amden geological trail is lined with information boards describing the geology of the region.
- Munggeweg in Amden – a theme path for families with children and 12 stations to let off steam with fun and games.
Top Events
- Stave Race – on the Arven piste in Amden-Arvenbüel, on 1 January each year (January).
- Weesen May Market – annual market in the small town of Weesen (May).

East Aurora is taking the fight over sidewalk snow shoveling to residents' front doors.
Mayor Allan Kasprzak on Monday showed the Village Board a sample of a blue door hanger that soon may serve as notice to property owners who do not clear their sidewalks. It could also be used in the summer to let violators know their grass is too long or for other village code violations.
Officials have said the door hanger would serve as a warning. It would take a few violations before it would likely result in a court summons for the offender. The village had about 1,000 hangers printed but so far has not distributed any.
"This deals mostly with quality-of-life issues," Police Chief Ron Krowka said after the meeting.
Village officials have struggled this winter with how to get residents and business owners to keep snow cleared from their sidewalks because the village's plows cannot keep up during heavy snowfalls.
The proposed door hangers leave space for a police complaint number to be filed, with the violator's address and the date of the citation. The door hanger also cites the village website for more information on violations as specified in the code book.
Krowka spearheaded the effort for the door hangers and has been meeting with Kasprzak and Village Administrator Bryan Gazda. The village's code enforcement officer and police officers will place the hangers on doors once the board approves the plan.
Krowka acknowledged that the door hangers could drain manpower.
"But we're talking when there's been a lot of snow," he said. "Then, it will affect manpower."
He said officers already put warning tags on cars a few days before the overnight street parking ban takes effect for the winter. And that has helped that situation, he said.
How effective will the door hangers be?
"You get education, warnings and then enforcement," Krowka said.
Some aren't so certain the door hangers will do the trick.
"Why not just send a letter? What's the difference?" Trustee Kevin Biggs said. "Other than it embarrasses you in front of your neighbors. But then again, embarrassed people already know who they are because they didn't shovel."
The door hangers can be used to address a variety of violations under village code, among them failure to cut grass that is higher than 10 inches.

Bee Removal
Abolish Pest Control are professionals when it comes to identifiying the problem, remove the bees and removing bee hives. Bee Removal is what we do. With rising concerns of the Africanized bee (killer bee) more people are now looking to control their bee problems rather than avoiding them. Unlike other pest control companies who only kill the bees but dont fully solve the problem; We find the hive, remove the bees, remove the hive and prevent future infestations of the area. That is true bee control!
Unlike the European honey bee, the Africanized bee can be easily aggravated. The killer bee has been on a journey from South America to North America since 1957. The first reported case in the USA was in 1990 by 1994 the reached California, and moving at a rate of 200 miles per year you would think they would have overwhelmed the continent by now. Their expansion rate has been drastically reduced thanks to professional bee control companies who have crews specializing in bee control
Most bees found in California are earnest, hard working types who much prefer the joys of simple labor to swaggering around like a schoolyard bully looking for people to intimidate.
Having their work interrupted or their flight path blocked by a hysterical human flailing away like a windmill is not their idea of a good time, and may frighten or irritate them into stinging whoever is doing the flailing.
Identify your enemy
European bees for the most part are not a threat unless aggravated. Aggravation
will occur if they feel their hive is in danger. Swatting at flying bees
is not recommended since all you will accomplish is to aggravate them.
Unlike the European honey bee, the Africanized bee does not need an excuse
to attack. They protect their hive and queen at a larger radius. Again
unlike the European honey bee, the Africanized bee may pursue intruders
for up to a mile and remain aggravated for up to 24 hours
The most common stinging bee in California is the honey bee, introduced into this country from Europe in the 17th century. Its stinger, which resembles a hypodermic needle with barbs, is used to inject a mixture of alkali venom and acid into the skin. The alkali venom contains several kinds of proteins and enzymes which are believed to cause allergic reactions of varying degrees in humans. Sting reactions, which may increase with succeeding stings, include:
More severe reactions may include cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, shock or loss of consciousness. Symptoms usually appear within a few minutes after a sting, but could be delayed up to 24 hours. Stings near the eyes, nose and throat are the most dangerous. For severe reactions, medical assistance should be sought immediately.
When stung by a bee, the stinger should be removed as quickly as possible, but removing it improperly will make the sting worse, The proper way is to scrape the stinger out with a clean fingernail or knife. Pulling or squeezing the stinger will only pump more venom into the wound, as the bee parts containing the venom are left attached to the stinger after the bee tears itself free.
The sting area should be cleaned with soap and water, or with an antiseptic. For people known to have severe reactions who are stung on the arms or legs, a tourniquet may be applied between the wound and the heart to prevent the rapid spread of venom. The tourniquet should be released every three to five minutes until medical help is available.
In the past few years, a small number of Africanized "killer bees" have been found in the southern San Joaquin Valley, having migrated from Brazil. Because of cross-breeding in South America, they are now known as Brazilian honey bees.
Killer bees are dangerous despite the new name, They will attack anything moving within 100 yards of their nest without provocation, and will chase a running target much farther than less excitable varieties of bees.
In appearance, killer bees resemble any other honey bee. It's their attitude that sets them apart. They are now a problem in California.
Bees are affected by the type of clothing people wear. for some reason, rough and dark clothing of wool or leather irritats them, which is why professional bee keepers wear light colored, smooth textured clothes when tending their hives. Some perfumes also aggravate bees, which will attack a moving target faster than they will an immobile one. Running or swatting at them only increases the chances of a sting.
So when a bee draws near, try to relax. It will probably lose interest in you once it finds out you are not a gladiola -- or an enemy.

6/5/10 - There will be other opportunities over the next three weeks of World Series of Poker events, but for now poker maven Phil Hellmuth will be disappointed with his 15th placing in the $1 500 NLHE competition, which denied him his 12th bracelet and another all-time record.
Eliminated on Day 3 by Scott Vener, Hellmuth was made more vulnerable in costly exchanges with Max Steinberg earlier in the day that depleted his stack after he made a promising start among the chip leaders.
His 15th place finish was worth $25,472 and is a record-setting 76th WSOP career cash for the high profile ace.
The competition started with an entry field of 2 341 players, generating a prize pool of $3,160,350 and guaranteeing a winner's prize of $568,974. The event failed to reach a final table on Day 2, sending 25 survivors into Day 3.

The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors has launched a campaign to get voters to choose "yes" on an upcoming Dorchester County local option property tax relief ballot on Nov. 5.
The 1 percent local-option sales tax would specifically be used to help lower property tax bills, officials have said.
The referendum would push the 1 percent sales tax to those who shop at retailers in the county. The tax is estimated to bring in about $8 million a year for the county. This shift of taxes to consumers was adopted by both Charleston and Berkeley counties.
"With regard to property taxes, Dorchester County needs to become more competitive," said association CEO Wil Riley, a Summerville resident. "Currently, Dorchester County residents are paying a much higher rate compared to our neighbors in Berkeley and Charleston counties, where property tax relief has been passed."
The campaign's website: www.voteyespayless.com.
This referendum isn't new for Dorchester County. It's been put to voters four times before, and each time the majority chose no. The most recent failed vote was in 1998.

ENGLEWOOD � Champ Bailey admires Ronde Barber. He just doesn�t want to follow in his footsteps.
Barber is a 37-year-old cornerback who has been converted to safety this season and has four interceptions, which leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver�s next opponent.
Bailey, 34, is the most decorated cornerback in league history with a record 11 Pro Bowls. He said he appreciates Barber�s longevity but doesn�t foresee himself ever switching to safety.
�I don�t plan on doing that,� Bailey said Thursday. �I do admire the way he�s been able to play at a high level. He�s one of those guys I do look up to and kind of pay attention to what he�s doing.�
As Bailey gets long in the tooth himself, he said he also looks up to former NFL great Rod Woodson, who moved to free safety his last five seasons after a torn ACL ended his days as a cornerback.
Another player he reveres is former teammate Darrell Green, a Hall of Famer who played cornerback at Washington his entire 22-year career. Bailey played with Green from 1999-2002, the last three of which, Green was a reserve.
�Yeah, I�ve always said if it comes to the point where I have to come off the bench, I don�t know if I could deal with that,� Bailey said. �And he did it for like three years. So, we started together that one year, but after that he was coming off the bench. So, I don�t know if I�m made that way. We�ll see. But right now I just think about what he used to do to prepare himself for games, after games; I remember all that stuff.�
It�s long been thought Bailey would switch to safety after his skills started to decline � and they�ve shown no signs of dipping in this, his 14th NFL season.
Asked to clarify that he�ll never consider a move to safety, Bailey retorted: �I didn�t say that; I said I don�t plan on it,� with an emphasis on plan.
Since entering the league as the seventh overall pick out of Georgia in 1999, Bailey ranks third in the league and first among cornerbacks with 51 interceptions. He also leads the league with 199 pass breakups since 1999, just ahead of Barber�s 197.
Bailey is having another stellar season and in January could tie the NFL record for most Pro Bowls played with 12 � but that�s one honor he�d rather leave to Randall McDaniel and Will Shields; he�d rather be back home getting ready for the Super Bowl the next week in New Orleans.

Media Ethics
January 25, 2008
Labeled "insane" and "likely bipolar" by the media, pop star Britney Spears has become the sensational focus of many top stories. The media and even mental health professionals have presumed to diagnose her behavior, based on analysis of photos or 30-second news clips—raising concerns about professional ethics.
An Associated Press story describes the backlash at the national convention of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
Stigmatizing language, sensationalism, and concern for treatment and recovery also are issues. Roy Peter Clark, vice-president of the Poynter Institute, a leading center of journalism training and ethics, wrote in an on-line column: "One of the terrible side effects of America's celebrity and media culture is a pervasive cynicism about addiction and mental illness… but there is clearly a danger zone, when life and health are at stake, when the best thing the press can do is back off. That time for Spears is probably now."
Some believe, however, on the positive side, that as a news story, media coverage is an opportunity to educate people about mental illness, symptoms and treatment.
NAMI's latest StigmaBuster Alert suggests ways to speak out to demand media sanity, hold the media to higher ethical standards and question presumptions behind headlines. Comment also on-line to BP Magazine.

The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
A few of you were unimpressed by my previous post by telling me that it should be expected that the top hitters in the game were also the top hitters versus the Cubs. A fair assessment...
So who were the most unexpected Cubs killers? In other words, who saved their best to drive some nails in the Cubs' coffins? Reader "big_lowitzki" did the research for us and provided me with the list.
Using 350 PA's as the cutoff again, here's your top 10 surprise Cubs killers:
|OPS vs. Cubs
|Career OPS
|Bob Boone
|Tony Pena
|Bill White
|Frank Robinson
|Richie Hebner
|Johnny Edwards
|Bill Doran
|Carlos Lee
|Dante Bichette
|Clay Dalrymple
I don't know who Johnny Edwards is, but he seems like he was a real pest to the Cubs. Of course, those numbers still pale in comparision to Jeff Blauser's .264 OPS discrepancy albeit it in only 299 PA's (it's a .253 difference if you discount his two years with the Cubs).
I'd provide the full list, but I'm having problems importing it into Google docs and I think Cubnut wanted to do a post of the top Cubs patsies, so you'll have to wait for that.
UPDATE: Reader Leningrad Cowboy takes it a step further and subtracts the players line versus the Cubs from their overall OPS numbers. The lists are similar with a few minor exceptions.

Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Both posts are great, thanks!
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
I did similar calculations except I backed out stats vs. the Cubs from the players career numbers. The result is the difference between career OPS vs. the Cubs compared to career OPS vs. the rest of the league. Similar findings, with some differences in the. With a minimum of 350 plate appearances against the Cubs, the people who played the Cubs the highest compared to the way they played the rest of the league were...Bob Boone and Bill White. Their OPS was .181 higher against the Cubs than their career numbers against the rest of best (excluding their stats vs. Cubs).
The rest of the top ten:
2. Richie Hebner .162
3. Frank Robinson .161
4. Johnny Edwards .156
5. Bill Doran .150
6. Clay Dalyrmple .145
7. Warren Cromartie .143
8. Carlos Lee .142
9. Dante Bichette .141
10. Andy Van Slyke .137
The next ten: Vinny Vastilla, Donn Clendenon, Luis Gonzalez, Von Hayes, Manny Trillo, Ted Simmons, Tony Pena, Delina DeShields, Jim Ray Hart, and Gregg Jefferies.
Believe it or not, some players don't make a career against the Cubs. As noted in the last thread, Will was not a Thrill against the Cubs, with the exception of that one series. Will Clark's career OPS diff is -.289. Next worst? Barry Bonds with -.196. The rest of the worst (in decreasing order of sucktitude):
Frank Thomas -.178
Mike Piazza -.160
Lance Berkman -.127
Daryl Spencer -.120
Tom Haller -.115
Reggie Sanders -.113
Albert Pujols -.110
Ryan Klesko -.110
For what it is worth, Dusty Baker had a -.081. And Andres Galarraga, a player I would have thought a Cub Killer, simply had a name that was hard for Harry to pronounce. The Big Cat checked in with a -.064.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Albert Puljos is sick. Considering that he's on the list of people who do worse against the Cubs yet post this line against them:
114 420 .288 .374 .571 .945 33 85
Over the course of season (650 abs) thats @ 51 homers and 120 rbis.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
I think Barry Bonds is something like 0-for-40 with me in attendance, except for one double he got when I went to go get a beer. Throw out the AB's he's had with me watching live and in person and he's probably been about at his average against the cubs. He's been a big pile of suck when I watch. Though I did see the BP HR he hit off the 3rd story window of the building next to Murphy's.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Thanks for these lists, it's great stuff.
I think it's pretty incredible that, as great a player as he was, Frank Robinson was that much better against the Cubs.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Continuing in the same vein of stepping it up against the Cubs, here are the top players more likely to hit a home run against the Cubs than against the rest of baseball:
1. Hal Lanier 5.3x
2. Brad Ausmus 2.4x
3. Tommy Helms 2.3x
Richie Ashburn
Dick Schofield
Derrel Thomas
Jesus Alou
8. Tommy Davis 2.2x
9. Johnny Edwards 2.1
10. Matty Alou 2.0x
Calculations based on (HR vs. Cubs/AB vs. Cubs) - (HR vs. not Cubs/AB vs. not Cubs).
No big sluggers on the list (Tommy Davis the only one with more than 100 career home runs), but that would have to be the definition of Cub killing--the little guy clubbing one against you.
Lanier tops it because he hit 3 homers off the Cubs and 5 off the rest of baseball. Ashburn hit 2 off the Cubs and 8 off the rest of baseball.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Brad Fucking Ausmus. Can't surprise me with that one. Guy can't hit his weight against the rest of the league but it feels like he just gets big hit after big hit on the baby bears.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Johnny Edwards was sucky catcher, as his career OPS of .664 illustrates, for the Reds then Astros during the 60s and 70s. But he was somehow a 3-time All-Star and 2-time Gold Glove winner.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Was he an All-star due to the Red's fans stuffing the ballots?
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Actually no. The stuffing incident by Red's fans occured in 1957, after which the fan vote was taken away. It wasn't restored until 1970. Edwards was a reserve in 1963, 1964, and 1965. Although in 63 and 64 there were 3 catchers on the roster.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
The very first one that came to my mind was Rafael Belliard, the SS from the Pirates and Braves. He was a horrible hitter (and he's the older brother to Ronnie Belliard), but against the Cubs he was a pain in the behind.
Case in point:
Career stats:
avg: .221 obp. .270 slg. .259 ops. .530
vs Cubs:
avg: .273 obp .322 slg .339 ops .661
+ .131 ops against Cubs over career numbers.
He also was even better at Wrigley over his career:
avg .298 obp .349 slg .355 ops .703
that's a +.173 ops over his career numbers
And he had 28 rbi vs the Cubs in his career, next closest team is 18
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Some perspective - Cubs pitching and defense was 'outstanding' from the late 40's to the late 60's. Outstanding as in outstanding Cubbery. The pitching made many 'Cub killers'.
Carlos Lee
Not surprised to see him on this list. I'm very glad the Cubs didn't sign him to his $100 million contract. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him immediately go the way of Jeff Blauser.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
I remember Al Oliver owning Cubs pitching when he was with the Pirates. Here's what the numbers show: against all of the NL, he hit .294/.335/.454. Against the Cubs it was .330/.367/.514 and .342/.382/.545 at Wrigley Field.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
hey rob... thanks for spelling my name wrong... :)
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
I'm very late to the party, but Dante Bichette was one that came to my mind immediately. I thought of Carlos Lee and Bichette. Seemed like Dante always went 3/4 when he played against us.
Too bad Bronson Arroyo doesn't qualify. He'd probably be +500 in OPS.
Completely Unrelated Rant....
I've got something I'd like to get off my chest, folks. This is probably going to change this thread completely, but it's an off day and I'm upset.
Listen, I like Felix Pie. Seems like a nice enough kid. Has great minor league numbers. Doesn't particularly rub me the wrong way like former Cub over-hyped wunderkinds have. Kid can't hit a curveball to save his life, but that may come with time. I'm in the camp that he needs time at the big league level to learn how to hit just like he needed time at AA and AAA to learn how to hit.
Here is my problem. Other folks in these here internets try to spin some convoluted logic that not only should he be in the lineup EVERY SINGLE DAY, he should be put at the top of the order. That's despite his 269 OPS (!) against LHP in his career (it's a small sample... only 36 ABs). That said, I don't care what the sample is. That's piss poor. Meanwhile, Lou COULD play Reed Johnson, whose OPS against LHP is only 562 points higher. And people are telling me that we're not putting our best lineup out there against lefties if Reed Johnson is in there and Felix is on the bench. Seriously. They said that.
Does the kid deserve a fair shot at it? Yes he does. Is he only going to improve by consistently facing major league pitching? Yes, that is a fact. But, at the same time, there's no reason to throw games away by trying to baby our best prospect instead of trying to win baseball games. Putting a kid in there who has an OPS 400 points lower than Carlos Zambrano and 200 points lower than Jason Marquis vs LHP is certainly not the right way to go about that. I don't really want to get to September and have him hitting .111 against LHP AND have us 6 games out because he's done absolutely nothing for us every time we face a lefty.
Is there a right way to work him into the lineup? Sure. Does it involve putting him in there 8 days a week and hitting him second? Absolutely not. That's just stupid. And that's all I have to say about that. Now I'm gonna go drink me about 15 Dr. Peppers.
Re: Completely Unrelated Rant....
Wes not to get in the way of a good rank, but this seems like a straw man argument to me. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but there doesn't seem to be a great ground swell of people demanding the Pie bat every day at the top of the lineup.
Sure there are people, my self included, who were somewhat concerned about Pie's playing time over the weekend. Basically I expected Johnson and Pie will platoon in center with Johnson getting some at bats against RHP from time to time, and unless he "earns" it I don't expect Pie will see the top of the lineup any time soon.
Re: Completely Unrelated Rant....
As a side note, this discovery was unearthed elsewhere in the vast expanse of Cubs blogdom. Wasn't really aimed at anybody here. You are correct that it has not been brought up here, at least to the best of my knowledge.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
CPat 9th inning HR to tie, 2-5 on the night...earlier in the game he was called out stealing 2nd on a late Kendall throw. Ump was out of position as replay showed he was safe.
David Weathers 10th inning specialist...of suck.
Jason Kendall turning the 9th spot in the order into something good?
another 3-4 night, started the night with an OPS of 1.364
John DeWan has OPS stat ranking (for the first 6 games), focusing on the slot in the batting order.
Kendall's 9th slot is ranking 3rd. Fukudome's 5th slot ranks 5th (OPS at 1.289) and DLee's 3rd slot ranks 6th (at 1.288)
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
Wes-I agree that Pie needs playing time, and that he should sit against most LHP this year.
I don't think he should hit 8th however. Guaranteeing that he will be thrown slop to hit will not help a kid who, if he does not go 8 for 14, gets benched quickly, even if it's for the immortal Reed Johnson. I do believe Johnson should play against most LHP though. But Pie is going to have to learn to hit Lefties at some point.
I'd settle for this:
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
How about jumping on the bandwagon and batting the pitcher 8th and Pie 9th? He would probably see more fastballs ahead of Soriano, and his speed wouldn't be wasted by pitcher's sac buntng him to 2nd all the time (or at least when he gets on base).
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
If we go by the notion that your worst hitter should bat ninth, batting pie there and z or marquis eighth is just good baseball.
Re: The All-Time Greatest Surprise Cubs Killers
I'm late to the party here as well, but thanks for including Andy Van Slyke on the list - I remember that he really killed us many times.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Weather Blog: A Little Snow For Santa
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! A 'white' Christmas is almost guaranteed for much of southeast Wisconsin with our current snow pack and cold temperatures. The snow may get refreshed as some snow is possible over the next several days.
The landscape has looked beautiful in the wake of our recent winter storm. The photo below is from Watertown and courtesy of Sandy Killough. If you have a weather photo to share, please email it to email@example.com and it will automatically post to our website. Or post your weather pics to the Wisconsin Weather Updates Facebook page.
The combination of a weak disturbance aloft, and surface winds turning to the north-northeast will combine to give all of southeast Wisconsin a chance for some snow heading into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Snow chances will increase Monday morning and periods of light snow and flurries are likely Monday afternoon and evening. With winds out of the northeast some of the light snow may be enhanced closer to Lake Michigan.
The RPM computer model forecast map below is valid at 2pm Monday. The light blue color represent snow. Also of note is the wind barbs over Lake Michigan, the surface winds will be northeast at this time.
Most of the non lake effect light snow will end by Monday evening. Lakeshore locations will continue to see the possibility of light lake effect snow or flurries into Christmas Day. Right now it appears that Santa will fly into southeastern Wisconsin with cloudy skies and a few flurries.
The RPM future snowfall forecast below is indicating a very light dusting to upwards of 1" of snow by noon Christmas Day. Again not much, but it may be enough to create a couple of slippery spots on roads.
We always watch lake effect snow chances closely, because an extra couple of hours of the wind off the lake or slightly colder temperatures would drive the lake effect snow totals higher.
By Wednesday, a stronger storm system will move into the Mississippi Valley and move toward the Great Lakes. A band of accumulating snow(possibly heavy) is likely just to the northwest of the low pressure center. The NAM computer model forecast map below is valid at noon Wednesday. The NAM keeps the bulk of the moisture JUST to the southeast of our area. A slight shift to the north and the snow band would slide into southeast Wisconsin.
If the current forecast track is close, it would still mean a chance of some light snow, and possibly another round of lake effect snow with northeast winds.
The best chance for accumulating snow this week looks to be Monday and Wednesday. Expect temperatures to stay near or below average for much of this week.

Have a great day!

The actor, who shocked fans when he appeared naked on Broadway in Equus in 2008, has stripped down in three movies this year – and shared a bathtub with Jon Hamm on TV – but he told Ellen DeGeneres on Friday that his nude streak was "not intentional."
"I'm comfortable with it, but I do like to point out, I don't request it," he jokes.
"You do take your clothes off a lot," DeGeneres teased. "In a lot of things."
"They're jobs," Radcliffe, 24, clarified, adding that he doesn't strip off in public "in stores [and] places I go."
Radcliffe, who plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the new film Kill Your Darlings, admitted he had a conversation with an actress friend who has also done a lot of nude scenes and told her that he worried they were "going to start getting called exhibitionists."

Pulguksa was first constructed in 535 CE (Silla period). It includes two stone pagodas in the temple courtyard known as Sokkatap and Tapotap. Temple also has two staircases, one to the east (Blue and White Cloud Bridge) and the other to the west (Lotus Flower and the Seven Gems), which symbolise bridges between the secular world and the sacred land of the Buddha.

A condition usually found in Soldiers, where a traumatic experience forces the person into a state of shock, such as being in the proximity of an exploding Artillery shell (Hence Shellshock). They are quite often rendered completely incapacitated without suffering any physical damage. This is also often confused with PTSD.
The Marine began to run across the pitted sand, when the Howitzer shell hit next to him. He was launched into the air, and when he landed, he lay stiff as a board, on the verge of sobbing, he had been shellshocked.

PhoneArena Awards 2012: Best Tablet
0. phoneArena 13 Dec 2012, 12:12 posted on
Tablets - they're getting pretty popular, aren't they? Just a couple of years ago, they were regarded mostly as pricey toys rather than gadgets that one actually needed. But as they are getting cheaper by the day and as the number of apps optimized for tablet use rises, more and more people now own one. But not all tablets are made equal, and it is our duty to inform you which ones are actually worth getting. In fact, today we'll tell you which are the best tablets that launched in 2012...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

If you think the iOS is superior to the Android operation system, you obviously don't know jacksh*t about Android. It walks circles around your garbage "operating" system. It doesn't matter which iOS device you have--it's garbage. Androids do twice as much as the iOS does, and access to its settings is WAAAAY easier than trying to access or change anything, at all, on any iOS device. "Easiest smartphone to use," my ass. You're just a lil one-track minded numbskull. Simple-minded OS for a simple-minded person. Apple is going down the tubes. Their stock constantly drops and their customer service is literally as good as JC Penny's. They lack innovation. The hype disgusts me. Apple = marketing, marketing, marketing. If you want a real "smart" device, get an Android. Noob.

Whether or not you find Apple products appealing, a list of "bests" would be incomplete without the latest model of the most popular product in that field. It would be like having a list of the best muscle cars of the 60's and 70's and leaving out the Mustang because your dad got fired from Ford. Even if you don't think that it is the best for you, doesn't mean that it isn't the best for someone else. I prefer android, but when the latest iPad will outsell the rest of the competition 5 to 1 (hyperbole, not an exact statistic), it shouldn't be left off this list.

There are folks like me who will always choose Nexus devices over Amazon's for the simple fact that the latter butchers the Android OS (an old version) to put their own UI. I would just install and use the Amazon apps on Google Play to use Amazon services on a Nexus device.
58. OSUTIN (Posts: 23; Member since: 28 May 2012)
And people believe that OEMs butcher Android. Look at Amazon before you make such crude accusations.

It's not an accusation, it's a fact... And you're right about OEM's butchering Android OS as well... And I did buy the original Kindle Fire, used it for a day, frustrated by it because of minimal usability, returned it, got refunded and bought myself a nexus device.
3. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3771; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Fair enough....
Can't argue with the chosen ones.
But i think there should be 5 of the best, not just 3.

5. tedkord (Posts: 11700; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I'm certainly not an Apple fanboy, but I can't see the Nexus 7 beating it the newest iPad for best tablet. It comes closer than anything before.
Best value, hell yeah. Best 7 inch tablet, yep. (Certainly better than the iPad mini). Best performance per dollar, uh huh.
But not overall best. That will come from Android in the next year or so.
6. rawkuss (Posts: 29; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
"Best performance per dollar"
Pretty sure that's why it won. Ipad 4 was pretty underwhelming and might as well be the Ipad 3S.
8. tedkord (Posts: 11700; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
But the category was best tablet, not best bang for buck.
24. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)
Nexus 7 can be palmed easily, iPad 4 can't
This category is a best overall, not best performance or screen. The iPad 4 is 2nd just because it isn't as utilitarian.
28. Ray.S (Posts: 329; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Sure, but we do take price into account. We don't just look at specs. What good is a super high-spec'd tablet that costs $800? It'll fail.
40. danny_a2005 (Posts: 165; Member since: 06 Oct 2011)
ipad 4 64GB with 3g is almost 800 bucks, and it is the most sold tablet... if you really want something you always get it... who doesn't want an ipad 4?
I really like the nexus 7, but, I would save a bit to get the ipad instead of nexus 7..
7. tedkord (Posts: 11700; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
And to add, I personally think the killer deal in smaller tablets is the Nook HD. Once that is rooted fully and given AOSP or CM10, it'll be killer.
9. ultimatebatman (Posts: 52; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
The Galaxy Note 10.1 for me. The Pen makes the tablet experience infinitely better, and adds much more to the tablet experience than a resolution race does. The Nexus 7 is a close 2nd.
14. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I agree, I own a n7 and love it. However, if cost was no object, I would have a note 10.1
Tablet+smart stylus=biwinning
32. rex1213 (Posts: 77; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
Agree 100%! The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 should have been on this list. I'm pretty sure the display resolution of the Note 10.1 is what made PA count it off the list and I certainly don't understand why people cry out loud for that resolution.
I mean come on, 1280x800 display res is not that bad. Even Windows PC's at our workplace have display resolution of 1366x768 pixels with display sizes ranging from 15 to 18.5 inches monitors and I'm telling you, no one ever complained about resolution or about having not clearly seeing a text or something on the monitor. And that is from people WHO DO REAL WORK. Also, hi res screens strain the battery and performance even more which I personally think is not worthy of a trade off.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 probably is the best tablet around. Excellent multitasking capabilities and excellent performance. No lags at all. Multi-window mode is unique, even if it is limited to specific Samsung apps only. And oh boy, my nephew just loves drawing something on my Note 10.1 using the S Pen.
47. yajia1 (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
Duh. It's the screen you get to use and tap and pinch and look at all the time in a tablet right? It needs to be one of the best features, if not the best.
52. rex1213 (Posts: 77; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
Sure, the screen is the thing that you look at. But could you please point out a reason for needing an outrageous pixel density on a screen? I mean, a practical use case scenario?
Aside from zooming out a text and still seeing the characters perfectly clear, what else? And besides, it's not like you do it often anyways. Or at least, you'll not gonna like reading those tiny characters on your tablet screen for long hours.
59. yajia1 (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
I was actually torn between the note 10.1 and nex10. Finally decided to go to nex10 just because pf the screen. Reading texts on the note 10.1 is quite a hard job for the eyes. Especially when you zoom them. Everything looks pixelated, unless yoi have poor eyesight.
10. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I don't think the Nexus 10 should be on top of the iPad 4, yet. 4.2 is still too unoptimized to grant the best performance for such a high density display. iPad is on top for now. However, as soon as Google releases that update... Nexus family will be on top again. Enjoy your victory in the large tablet race, Apple, it won't last much longer.
15. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I see your point. But I would still take a n10 over an ipad 4 anyday.
In my honest opinion, invest in a n10 because the only con (lack of 10" hd apps) will be negated very soon. In fact your purchase of a n10 will help create such apps. So f**king buy it already!!! XD
18. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
So you either enjoy qn iPad right now, or you get a nexus 10 and wait probably for years to get half the ipads apps and developer interest...
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You're exaggerating it a bit. It won't take "years". The time it will take for devs to update will be directly affected by how many people buy it. If a lot of people buy the Nexus 10, devs will update their apps to fit the Nexus 10 sooner, and since the Nexus family is rather popular, it will probably take a few months to get the full selection.
Either way, the Nexus 10 is still great. Would rather have it than an iPad, even though 4.2 isn't optimized fully and all the apps aren't available. That's my preference though, Android.
50. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
The thingt is the ipad when it first came out it had tintu unusable iphone apps that pushed developers to make better apps and they did(275k+apps). with windows 8 rt there is no apps olther than from the store : you can't use windowsphone's apps so now the have 30k tablet apps. while android, they choose to blow up phone apps witch can look good for apps with heavy content (like instagram witch is still a phone app in the ipad and looks better on android) but developers say" our apps work, not perfectly and not terribly, why would we bother optimizing them..."

19. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I can go with this. The surface could have also been thrown in instead of the ipad since it was well reviewed and is a new ecosystem with a neat keypad. The ipad gets in on name and popularity more than anything. The nexus devices are a pretty sizable upgrade in quality for android tablets as well as the "bang for buck" ratio with pricing/specs so they definitely deserve to be there.

Nexus 7 on the top...
I'm not so sure if it is a honest score from PhoneArena.
I'm sorry, I'm not trolling, but from the all the reviews I've read on PhoneArena, wasn't iPad Mini got the highest score review?
SO, I'm sorry for saying may be this score is just a formality to all of user, so the comment section didn't full of any offensive words?

It's because of the price/specs ratio. iPad mini just doesn't cut it at $329. If they included retina display, it might have.

I'm thorn between iPad4 and Nexus10. People, please advice. Sadly, in countries where PlayStore isn't available, Nexuses are a lot more expensive. When they are on the same price (16GB, WiFi only) at $500, would you recommend Nexus10 or iPad4?

There are a couple of ASCP resources that can be extremely helpful when getting started in consultant pharmacy. First, ASCP offers a day-long certificate training workshop. The course is called the "Fundamentals of Consultant Pharmacy Practice." It is usually held in conjunction with ASCP's Annual Meeting and Exhibition in November and ASCP's Spring Conference + Exhibition in May. The workshop has several speakers who provide an overview of the LTC industry; tips on how to conduct a medication regimen review and communicate clinical recommendations to physicians and nursing facility staff; an overview of the federal nursing home regulations; insight into a state Department of Health survey; and more. Another resource that can be quite helpful is ASCP's "Getting Started Kit." It contains a variety of ASCP publications.
Since understanding the federal nursing home regulations is often one of the biggest hurdles to getting started in nursing facility consulting, ASCP has created content that contains background information and the most recent updates to the regulations.
MED-PASS, ASCP's publishing partner, also has a variety of forms that can be helpful to consultant pharmacists when first starting. These forms provide a quick and easy way to document the consultant pharmacist's visit and communicate recommendations. In addition to the Web site, MED-PASS can also be contacted via phone. Call 1-800-438-8884 and ask for a sample packet of consultant pharmacist forms.
If you decide you instead want to use computer software to document and report your clinical recommendations, ASCP maintains a list of all the consultant pharmacist software companies and their Web sites. Most of these companies also exhibit at ASCP's Annual Meeting and Spring Conference.

Today I wanted to post a photo of Ivy's new cast, I wondered what color she would choose...
We got to the doctor's office, and they ordered new x-rays (I was annoyed) but-
they found that her arm was not broken.
After moving it about without the soft cast on and pulling on my dress and opening the door knobs and pulling herself up with both arms onto the exam table and chairs... the Dr. came to the conclusion that her arm is probably just fine.
I'm ashamed I let my guard down- I didn't demand a second opinion in the first place, as I would have in the past, and was truthfully almost frustrated they had to take new x-rays (think: cha-ching) But I'm so glad they did.
I should know better than that. I've just been so tired lately, all my instincts are jumbled and I'm not being very responsive. But this was a very good reminder. A second (actually 3rd and 4th opinion) saved my Noah.
Duh, you'd think I'd remember important stuff like that, but no. My mind no worky.
Yesterday I wrote what I wrote and felt what I felt and it was very real. But, so, I got it out and now what? I am going to do something about it.
So lately I've been feeling all sorry and sad about the boys not having enough room to play ball in the backyard without it constantly going over the fence, or I'm shrilling out the window for them to stop yelling (for real? They are outside! If kids can't yell outside...?) so as soon as they got off the bus I told them to eat a snack and we drove to some place that did have room and space to run and kick and yell.
If we don't have it here, no more wasted time waiting, we'll go to where it is.
And we'll run and kick
and yell and
