Contest Winners
Enough with the April Fool's Day hijinx, time to hand out some prizes from some of our past contests.
MLB '08: The Show PS3 Giveaway
It was a simple 6 question contest with a tiebreaker and three folks got all six correct, with another six getting five correct answers. Unfortunately I only have five games to give as prizes, so it came down to the tiebreaker for those who got five correct. Before I reveal the winners, the correct answers:
Correct Answer: Iowa Cubs (sounds like it might be the DL, but it'll be Iowa's DL)
2. Where in the batting order will Alfonso Soriano bat to start the game
during the Cubs exhibition game on Friday, March 28th versus the
Seattle Mariners?
Correct Answer: He batted second
3. Between Mike Fontentot, Eric Patterson, Ronny Cedeno and Alex Cintron, how many will make the Cubs Opening Day Roster?
Correct Answer: Two, Mike Fontenot & Ronny Cedeno
4. Where will reliever Tim Lahey be by Opening Day?
Correct Answer: Very few got this one, but he was claimed by another organization off waivers.
Correct Answer: Baltimore Orioles
6. The Cubs will acquire how many players via trade between now and Opening Day that will be on their Opening Day Roster?
Correct Answer: 0, Reed Johnson was signed as a free agent
Tiebreaker: How many runs will the Cubs score on offense in preseason games between 03/22/2008 and 03/29/2008?
Correct Answer: 52
And the winners (drumroll please):
Andy, Indiana JJ and
Wrigley Field Ruz got all six correct. Archie, JohnT, D.L., DPappy, J_Cb19 and David S. got five correct.
As I said, I only have five to give away and Ruz is ineligible for a prize (well he's eligible but he can buy his own now from the money he's getting from the Wrigley company). So we had to get into the tiebreakers:
- 35
- 35
- 31
- 20
- 15
David S. - 28
So Archie, JohnT and D.L. get the last three copies...congrats!!! Email me your address information and I'll drop those in the mail tomorrow.
Free Agent Frenzy 2007
We never did announce our winner for the Free Agent Frenzy 2007 contest, so let's do that as well. It ended up a 3-way tie between Brick, Chris H. and Dave (Big_Lowitzki) with 71 points each. Barry Bonds went unsigned, but if he does sign with the Angels mid-season, I'll give Arizona Phil his seven points but it won't be enough to help him. So we had to break out the tiebreaker rules.
In the event of a tie for the Grand Prize, tiebreakers will be used
among the remaining tied participants in the following order:
1. Total number of actual correct player-team selections;
2. The highest actual Confidence Level selection that was correct,
going backwards until a tie is broken. For example, if two people tie
with 75 points, but one person selected his or her "15" pick correctly
and the other person's top correct choice was his or her "14" pick, the
person with the "15" correct pick would be the winner; and
3. MLBAM will administer a timed baseball trivia quiz, testing
the tied participants' knowledge of Major League Baseball, until the
tie is broken.
The participant whose submission is closest to the correct answer will be deemed the winner of the applicable tiebreaker.
Luckily, we don't have to get into the timed trivia quiz. All three got six correct answers which takes us to the second tiebreaker. They all got their #15, #14 and #13 picks correct, but Chris H. tripped up on #12 knocking him out. So it goes to the #11 pick and Dave nailed Fukudome to the Cubs at that number while Brick missed out on #11 with A-rod to the Angels.
Congrats, Dave, send me your address info and you get a copy of the Chicago Cubs Legends DVD Set.
There also seems to be a mix-up in the 2007 Prediction contest we ran, so I'm recalculating those numbers. The winner also gets a Chicago Cubs Legend DVD set.
Re: Contest Winners
Friggin Lowitzki.
This message is brought to you by Bob Patterson -- the pretty mediocre reliever from the 90's.
Re: Contest Winners
I friggin rock.
AND... still not quite sure why I picked Jones to the Dodgers, nor am I sure why I gave it so many confidence points. But it worked! :)
Re: Contest Winners
*shakes fist at the heavens*
A-Rod to the Angels!!! Whyyyyy!!!!!
Game Review
Sorry if this is old news, but here is Ken Rosenthal's review of openning day.
Re: Contest Winners
Video analyzing K-Fuk's homerun cut from yesterday's game. Looks like he doesn't have a single hole in that swing.
Re: Contest Winners
I don't care who you are. That's some high quality humor right there.
Re: Contest Winners
I read about getting Rick Rolled.
The little man with a big voice.
He looks like Ron Howard at the end of the Andy Griffith series.
Not a compliment.
Re: Contest Winners
Nice Carlos. You totally got me.
In all serious though it was a great swing and it is up on You Tube.
Re: Contest Winners
I mean, I knew that that wasn't gonna be K-Fuk, but seriously...what the fuck was that?
Re: Contest Winners
You got Shaggrolled. Ten times more potent than a Rickroll.
Re: Contest Winners
That was strangely mesmerizing.
Re: Contest Winners
Carlos: Is that a Matt Murton video?
Re: Matt Murton = Rick Astley
why the heck did I not make that connection before? that would explain Lou and Jim's hesitance to make him a starter.
Re: Contest Winners
Re: Contest Winners
I agree.
Re: Contest Winners
Hmm... could you be falling for another April Fool's Joke?
Re: Contest Winners
You Ass, Carlos. I fell for that oe hook, line and sinker...
Re: Contest Winners
It's not like he directed you to 2 girls 1 cup.
However, after further thought, maybe it's worse.
Re: Contest Winners
He got me too.
Re: Contest Winners
Re: Contest Winners
Yeah Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Contest Winners
Re: Contest Winners
Carlos-Yeah I knew about the Rickroll (but you did get me in the last thread). My WTF was directed at the Shaggs video that Mister Whipple posted. I couldn't stop watching that.
Re: Contest Winners
Actually take a look at K-Fuk's swing on that HR in slow-mo -- this guy has an incredibly quick bat, smooth through the zone at the last second.
Re: Contest Winners
As mentioned earlier....
no good can come from this.
Re: Contest Winners
Oh Dear Gawwwwdd
Re: Contest Winners
Re: Indiana JJ
Your signature made me laugh. So I hope it's happy spirited!
"Winner of TCR's Spring Training 08 Prediction Game Give Away for MLB 08 the Show for PS3 which is ten times more awesomer than The Joe's puny 2007 TCR Keeper Fantasy League win."
Re: Indiana JJ
Your signature made me laugh. So I hope it's happy spirited!
Yeah that was pretty much my only goal.
Re: Contest Winners
great...the new "3/44" is "take a look at this slo-mo video of K-Fuk's home run swing"
Re: Contest Winners
Good God, I'm glad April Fool's Day is over. I was tricked at least three times, all online, twice at TCR (or TCR-PBM).
In compensation, I get a PS3 game. And now it's April 2, my 30th birthday! Woo!
Re: Contest Winners
happy 30th...someone will be by in the next 12 hours that will teach you the secret handshake and give you the new rulebook.
the stuff about "lawn care" and "those damn neighbor kids" is long/boring, but if you don't pass the test they send you off a labor camp.
Re: Contest Winners
wait, what I'm doing now isn't labor camp?? shit.
thanks for the birthday wishes, crunch.
Re: Contest Winners
Happy Birthday.
Seriously though, 30 is the new 19. Go get drunk. Now.
Re: Contest Winners
Welcome to the roaring 30s. Here's your handbook filled with things that aren't the way they used to be. I highlighted the passages pertaining to baseball.
Re: Contest Winners
Thanks, fellas.

Get to Know Doug Temme
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Building a business during the recent economic downturn has been a tough row to hoe. Some segments have been especially tough. So why would Cattlemen's Beef Board member Doug Temme and his wife, Mary, choose to grow their dairy herd while consumption was nose-diving? Read more here.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Jarrod Parker was good. Justin Verlander was better. And the Oakland A's are going home.
The Detroit Tigers' ace lived up to his billing as the reigning AL MVP and Cy Young award winner, dominating the A's in a complete-game, four-hit shutout masterpiece. Verlander struck-out 11, walked only one and allowed only two base-runners to get as far as second base.
Parker had good stuff, but was burned by the bottom of the order. Ninth-place hitter Omar Infante reached base all three times he faced Parker and he scored twice. Leadoff hitter Austin Jackson doubled home Infante in the third inning to plate the game's first run and then later scored on a wild pitch. Those were all the runs Verlander would need, although Jackson later collected another RBI in the Tigers' four-run seventh inning that put the game away.
During the pre-game press conference, Detroit manager Jim Leyland hinted that Verlander would be his own closer in the game.
"I'm pretty sure this game will be decided by him," Leyland said.
"I'm not taking him out, I can assure you of that because I don't have anyone better to bring in."
Leyland proved prophetic, as Verlander cruised through the A's line-up. After the game, Verlander pointed to his change-up as the key pitch in his arsenal against the A's left-handed heavy line-up.
"My change up was working well for me tonight, I could tell from the first batter, from Coco, that it was going to be an effective pitch for me," Verlander said.
"It's just one of those things as a pitcher you go out and see what you've got and what's going to work for you that night. I was hoping my change up was going to be good with as many lefties as they had. If it was on, I knew it would make it tough on them, and thankfully it was."
The A's had plenty of late game magic during the season, but the magic ran out in the seventh inning when Detroit batted around and scored four times with several of those hits blooping in or glancing off of gloves. That inning took a close 2-0 game and made it 6-0.
Parker was charged with four runs in 6.1 innings, but he pitched better than that line would indicate. He struck-out six, walked only one and induced six groundball outs.
The sellout crowd of 36,393 was on its feet and loud early, but the A's gave them little to get excited about. Yoenis Cespedes lined a sharp double to left-center in the first inning with two-outs, but the scoring threat was quickly erased when Seth Smith hit a check-swing comebacker to Verlander. That would be the A's only runner to reach second base until the A's got two on with two outs in the eighth. In the third, Brandon Moss drew a two-out walk, but he was erased on the first pitch to Derek Norris when Moss tried to advance to second on a ball that bounced in the dirt. That would be the A's last base-runner until Moss singled in the fifth.
Pitch count is rarely an issue for Verlander, who regularly has been allowed to exceed 120 pitches, especially in the post-season, but he was able to keep his number reasonable. He didn't reach 90 pitches until the seventh inning and rarely had to make a pitch under duress. He finished with 122 pitches.
It was a disappointing ending to the A's memorable 2012 campaign, which was extended one more night on Wednesday when Oakland mounted a three-run, ninth-inning rally to defeat the Tigers, 4-3. After the game, the capacity crowd at the Coliseum gave the team a raucous standing ovation and many of the players lingered in front of the A's dugout, hugging each other and waving to the crowd. Chants of "Let's Go Oakland" continued several minutes after the game had ended.
The A's expressed their appreciation for the support of their home crowd throughout the divisional series.
"I hope to see crowds like that every game next year. You saw how we play when they come out like that. We do some special things," A's closer Grant Balfour said.
Despite losing key players to injury and suspension late in the season, Oakland erased a five-game deficit in the AL West over the season's final nine games to earn the franchise's 15th AL West title.
The A's are hopeful that this season is the foundation for an extended period of success. Most of the A's current roster is set to return to the team in 2013. Oakland will have to decide whether to pursue free-agents-to-be Brandon McCarthy and Jonny Gomes. They are expected to decline shortstop Stephen Drew's $10 million option for 2013, but could try to sign him for a lower amount. The A's also have a team-option worth $4.5 million on reliever Grant Balfour that they are likely to pick up.
Pitching should still be a strength for Oakland in 2013. The A's will have the benefit of returning a rotation that could include Parker, Brett Anderson, Tom Milone, A.J. Griffin and Dan Straily, even if they don't re-sign McCarthy. Prospects Brad Peacock and Sonny Gray could also factor for Oakland next season. In the bullpen, Balfour (team option), Sean Doolittle, Ryan Cook, Jerry Blevins, Evan Scribner, Jim Miller, Travis Blackley, Pedro Figueroa and Pat Neshek are all under team control.
Oakland should be fairly stable on the position-player side of the roster, as well. Gomes is the only free agent amongst the team's regulars. The A's outfield will be pretty much set going into the off-season, with starters Yoenis Cespedes, Coco Crisp, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith all under team control.
In the infield, Brandon Moss, Chris Carter, Cliff Pennington and Josh Donaldson are also under team control. A's 2011 third baseman Scott Sizemore will be back after missing all of the 2012 season with a torn ACL. Sizemore figures to battle with Donaldson, Pennington, Jemile Weeks and possibly Grant Green for playing time at second and third. Chris Carter is likely to continue to share time at first with Moss, unless one of them establishes himself as the obvious choice to be the everyday player.
Behind the plate, Derek Norris and George Kottaras are also both under team control.
"Hopefully we can keep the team together," Balfour said. " I believe it's a team with great chemistry."
Notes: With Evan Scribner's appearance in the 8th, the A's set a record for the most number of rookie pitchers to appear in a post-season series…With the Orioles and Nationals winning both of their Game 4s on Thursday, it marked the first time since the divisional series format was introduced that all four series reached the final fifth game…Jonny Gomes made his first appearance of the series in a pinch-hitting appearance for Derek Norris in the bottom of the eighth inning. He received a standing ovation and flew out to left.

"Heaven gained an angel today," read a sign outside the funeral procession for Mattioli, 6, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings Friday.
As the vehicle carrying his casket arrived at the St. John's Cemetery in Darien, Conn., after the noon funeral service at Saint Rose of Lima Church in Newtown, onlookers wiped away tears as the entire community continued to cope with what amounts to unbearable grief.
Earlier in the day, for a 10 a.m. service, the casket for Rekos, also 6, was also carried into Saint Rose of Lima Church prior to her burial at St. Rose cemetery.
In James's obituary, Mark and Cindy Mattioli described their son as "an energetic, loving friend to all" who "loved baseball, basketball, swimming, arm wrestling, and playing games on the iPad."
"James was especially thoughtful and considerate, always the first to welcome guests at the backdoor with a hug and his contagious smile," they added. He was outdoorsy and loved doing yard work with his dad, but would be just as happy "to cuddle on the couch at the end of the day with his mom, grabbing his pillow and brown fleece blanket."
He also "loved and admired his big sister [Anna] and wanted to do everything that she could do. They were the best of friends."
In a statement, Rich and Krista Rekos said their daughter was "a creative, beautiful little girl who loved playing with her little brothers, Travis and Shane."
"Jessica loved everything about horses," they said. "She devoted her free time to watching horse movies, reading horse books, drawing horses, and writing stories about horses." Jessica was promised she could have a horse when she turned 10. For Christmas this year, she asked Santa for new cowgirl boots and hat.
"We cannot imagine our life without her," her parents said. "We are mourning her loss, sharing our beautiful memories we have of her, and trying to help her brother Travis understand why he can't play with his best friend."
Funeral services are expected Wednesday for at least five more children, as well as the school's principal, Dawn Hochsprung, and one of its teachers, Vicki Soto.

A car with a two-month-old baby on board slid into the median of Route 400 in Elma Thursday night, leading to the arrest of the driver on a felony charge driving while drugged with a child in the vehicle, Erie County Sheriff's officials said.
In addition, the baby's parents, who were passengers in the car, also were accused of endangering the welfare of a child for knowingly bringing their baby into a vehicle driven by an impaired person.
Sheriff's deputies, assisted by a state trooper, were alerted to the single-car accident off the southside of Route 400, about a mile north of the Jamieson Road exit. Witnesses indicated an altercation broke out among the people in the car.
When authorities arrived, they found the adults "scattered on the median of the highway in the snow."
Deputies found Maxmillion W. Mathis of Williamsville to be in an "intoxicated condition" and arrested him on a felony charge of DWI-Drugs under Leadra's Law.
The baby's parents, Daniel Hart and Angela Mead of Buffalo, were charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Sheriff's officials notified Child Protective Services about the incident.
The parties involved were all checked out by paramedics from Spring Brook Fire Company. The adults were arrested and processed while the baby was turned over to a family member.

Preparing For Interview
<!– @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>
Congratulations on getting an interview. In this competitive market there are more candidates chasing fewer jobs. To get on top of that hirers are doing more screening before the time-intensive face-to-face meeting. You've obviously got something that they want. Your interview needs to build on this by demonstrating just how good you are.
You may know little about the interviewer, or their approach. They could pitch up with their list of job-relevant questions, or with a copy of your Resume that they hope to get to grips with while you are introducing yourself.
No matter who you are going to meet, some questions are more likely (how about 'tell me about yourself'?). Preparation is going to help you – to fluently answer at least some of the questions. Those people who put in the effort to plan and prepare are ahead. Five areas where your preparation can give you an advantage:
Examples of how you've handled important parts of the job (the job 'moments of truth' – whether that's examples of selling, or analysis, or running a project)
Likely sporting, weather or other general topics that might come up in preliminary chatting.
In some job interviews it is important to have opinions on the economy, on industry figures or industry manoeuvring. In other job contexts, government developments are fair game for conversation.
Your self-introduction
The final summary, where you thank your interviewers and emphasise your enthusiasm for the job – leaving with a positive impression
Conscientiously inclined folks are better at the planning ahead, and preparation required for these areas. Of course people are more or less conscientious (you can check your conscientiousness level, and other personality traits, on the free PersonaPlus test (see below for details). Those more inclined to spontaneity can still find ways to do such preparation.
Extroverts are more likely to enjoy the stimulation of catching up with friends and having a chat. This can be just the right opportunity to talk through any and all of the interview aspects described above.
Open-minded individuals are more likely to explore the new and different. They may find it easy to research the sorts of topical issues that are likely to come up in an interview – as they check out their news feeds and blogs.
Agreeable folk feel for others and tend to be group, rather than individual focused. Interviews where they need to emphasise 'I' over 'we' can be a challenge. However, reframing the interview from 'this is about me getting ahead', to 'this is about me being able to make a contribution for others' can help build enthusiasm for preparation.
Nervous types are sensitive to threats, and more likely to experience unpleasant emotions. Dealing with the risk of not doing well in an interview – the nervous person might be tempted to avoid the interview altogether. Or use preparation as a way to build their self-confidence. Such people might benefit from 'self-talk' such as 'I'm going to make an effort to prepare so that I can believe in myself when it comes to talking about my capabilities.'
Preparation is not a guarantee of a job offer. It is a way of helping you be on top of the situation and to be close to your best.

VANCOUVER - Is there a more iconic moment in sports than a Game 7?
Combine that with the Game 7 being waged in the Stanley Cup Finals, and we have a situation where legends will be born.
For all its resonance with fans, in its storied history the Stanley Cup has only been awarded 15 times after a Game 7.
Yet it is a situation that happens every day in the minds of fans, especially kids playing hockey with their friends.
Alex Burrows of the Canucks said it succinctly on Twitter when describing what it is like growing up in hockey mad Canada.
"We played a lot of Game 7s in our basements growing up"
Ryan Kesler agreed when speaking with Ben Kuzma of the Province newspaper.
"This is what you grew up playing for. Game 7 in your driveway."
Everyone as a child dreamed of scoring the game winning goal in Game 7 then hoisting the Stanley Cup.
Tonight, someone from the Bruins or Canucks will have a chance to fulfill that childhood dream.
Tonight, playoff heroes and goats will emerge, and the resulting reputations will follow them for the rest of their careers.
Throughout the day and during the game, I'll keep you updated with the latest storylines, news, and analysis from Game 7 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

The 6 Stupidest Things Ever Done on a Dare
#3. "I Dare You to Stick Your Junk in the Fan," Said Chad Kroeger of Nickelback
Any dare involving Nickelback is inherently tragic, as one would immediately assume that the dare would involve listening to Nickelback's music in some fashion. However, the band's frontman, Chad Kroeger, is apparently quite the charming, rascally prankster, as attested to by no less valid a source than Kroeger himself in an interview about how charming and rascally he is. Kroeger describes his delightfully mischievous nature in one of the most hilariously contradictory sentences ever published: "We've always been very close to our crew, so we've had a lot of fun getting them to do silly, stupid things that could possibly cause them to hurt or injure themselves in some way." This is the same way a sociopath describes his relationship with the people chained beneath plastic tarps in his rumpus room.
"My tour rider requires 'Goodbye Horses' to be played on a loop in my dressing room."
While backstage at a show in Germany, Kroeger and the Nickelbacks found themselves seized by relentless boredom (see "Bavaria," above). Prankmeister Kroeger sprang into action, describing his disarmingly cheeky solution in his own words: "... there was an old fan with a metal blade. And we paid the drum tech about 600 deutsche marks [to] stick his Johnson in the fan."
"It was that or 10,000 deutsche marks to listen to our whole album."
This roadie was apparently so underpaid that 600 deutsche marks seemed reasonable, accepting the dare without ceremony, to Kroeger's endlessly self-satisfied amusement: "I can still hear the 'bleh-bleh-blehhhhhhh' of the blade slowly spluttering to a stop... It was fantastic." Unfortunately, nobody had taken the time to explain to Kroeger that this is a dare routinely issued by drunken fifth-year college seniors, and as such is perhaps the lamest rock star story in the history of music journalism.
#2. "I Dare You to Electrocute Your Nipples"
Kyle DuBois, an 18-year-old high school student, had just finished an assignment in his electrical trades class (which we weren't aware was a thing until just now) and went to the back of the room with a few of his friends to play around with some of the electrical equipment. Seeing as how "Don't Fuck Around With Electricity" is presumably Chapter One in every electrical engineering textbook ever printed, this suggests that Kyle perhaps wasn't the best student, or that his instructor had catastrophically failed to interpret the material. Either way, after a few minutes of shocking themselves with some loose wires and various other things that have no business being left unsupervised in a classroom, a couple of Kyle's friends dared him to attach some alligator clamps to his nipples in exchange for a Mountain Dew.
It was destiny.
As anyone who was ever in high school knows, peer pressure can be a powerful thing, especially when you're locked in a steely-eyed chess match of one-upsmanship. Kyle, lured by the tantalizing prize of a can of Mountain Dew (which incidentally is a soda marketed specifically to stupid teenagers) and not wanting to seem like a "square" or a "ninnyhammer," accepted the dare and heroically sent a powerful electric current through his man-maries. The article is unclear (and indeed we cannot even begin to suggest) what the hell his teacher was doing at this time.
"Can you believe that these people expect us to be 'teaching' an entire classroom? Not with this hangover."
Kyle went into cardiac arrest pretty much immediately and was rushed to the hospital with respiratory failure, from which he eventually recovered. His parents filed a lawsuit against the school for allowing the incident to occur, although we're curious as to why they feel that their son, who at age 18 is legally considered an adult, would need someone to tell him that completing an electrical circuit with his chest was probably not worth a 65-cent can of Mountain Dew.
#1. "I Dare You to Set Yourself on Fire"
Florida 13-year-old Russell Gortzig and one of his friends were engaged in the age-old tradition of imitating things they see on the Internet, because as 80 percent of this article has illustrated, teenagers tend to do some dumbshit things. After watching a video on YouTube, Russell soaked himself in gasoline, at which point his friend dared him to hold up a lighter and snap it on (we're curious as to whether the gasoline was part of the dare or if "gasoline showers" were a fixture of playdates with Russell). The article does not indicate what video prompted the dare, so we will assume that it was either that clip from Ghost Rider 2 where Nicolas Cage pees fire or that clip from Face/Off where Nicolas Cage sets everyone on fire while disguised as John Travolta.
The whole situation is quite a pickle.
Russell, drawing upon every ounce of wisdom his 13 years had to offer, decided that this was the only way the afternoon could possibly continue at the level of enjoyment established by YouTube and accepted the dare set forth to him by his friend. He flicked on the lighter, and as Russell later told the news, "a combination of the spark and fumes caught his shorts on fire," which is hilarious in that it both minimizes his role in the blaze and suggests that "bursting into flames" was a result no one could have reasonably expected.
Russell was hospitalized with several burns, and his mother took YouTube to task for not thoroughly screening all 78 billion of its videos for any behavior that could possibly be imitated by paint-drinking latchkey children.
"Hmmm, she may have a point here."

A sticky vampire is the sexual act of, while receiving oral sex, a man ejaculates on the roof of a female's (or male's depending...) mouth, and having it run down to her teeth and dripping off her teeth, making her look like a vampire. Except with jizz instead of blood.
A sticky vampire ran loose in the city, seeking more men to fuel her vampiric needs...

Because of higher equalized values in Lincoln County's northern townships, we find a significant portion of our taxes levied for libraries drifting south to T.B. Scott Library in Merrill, a facility few residents in the north use. Take Bradley for example: Out of the $121,157 the residents are taxed for libraries, $40,900 helps fund the facility in Tomahawk and $80,200 goes to T.B. Scott.
Southern township residents pay only 40 cents per dollar of equalized value for library taxes and are closer to the larger library with more resources, while the Tomahawk library struggles to keep its doors open to accommodate the needs of local residents. And yet, these local northern townships write out checks for 60 cents on the dollar of equalized value every year.
What appears to be addressing a common matter of fairness, seven northern townships are seeking permission from the Lincoln County Board today to form a northern joint library. The result would mean funds generated by taxpayers in Bradley, Harrison, King, Skanawan, Somo, Tomahawk and Wilson townships would soley support the Tomahawk Public Library.
Morally, we find it difficult to argue against this proposal. "It comes down to fair taxation," observes County Board vice-chair Jim Alber of Tomahawk. "Basically, it's an unanswerable and unfair distribution of taxes," agrees board chair Gene Simon of Merrill.
The townships argue the people of Tomahawk are not utilizing the Merrill library, and it isn't reasonable that so many tax dollars are floated their way.
Circulation figures from recent years confirm the townships' allegation, showing that while 180 books were checked out by Bradley residents from the T.B. Scott Library within a given year, a whopping 28,000 were on loan from the Tomahawk Public Library. Circulation for the town of King reflected the same with a mere 750 materials taken from Merrill and more than 7,000 items checked out at Tomahawk.
The change wouldn't necessarily be easy. Removing the northern township's contribution means the southern townships will have to make up the difference - to the tune of $92,000 - to fully fund the Merrill library.
The northern townships have met the required local and state criteria to create a separate library system. The last hoop they need to jump through is obtaining the "okay" from the County Board.
It's time to all get on the same page, admit to the inequity and close this chapter. The authors behind the motion seek fairness, the logic behind the proposal has checked out and the separation is far overdue. Lincoln County supervisors were warned last month that this issue would come before them this evening and asked to reflect upon the notion. We hope that all the Lincoln County supervisors consider what is right for all the residents of Lincoln County.

Great protection
By Mdreader
from Undisclosed
I still have an early iPod, bought this to protect it on a marathon round of work travel. Fit was a little snug but not enough to be a problem. Open, it fits nicely into the similar case for iPad, and i still had room for both chargers and for my Kindle charger. I just wish it came in other colors, as the black disappears in a black-lined bag or case.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my Blackberry Case
By MeganAnn
from Boston
I was looking for a hard case for my Blackberry to stop the pocket dialing problem. My Curve fits in here perfectly on one side and my credit/debit/etc card seem to have migrated from my wallet to the other side of the case. It is has be come my wallet. I've purchased three just in case the one I have ever wears out, but #s 2&# are still in a drawer at home as the original is still going strong 2 years later.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great Case
By Teejay
from Central VA
I bought this to store my iPod Touch 4 in with the charging cable and earbuds. I have my iPod in an Otterbox Defender case and hoped it would fit, but too tight. So I use this case to store my battery backup/charger, the earbuds in the Pocquette, and the charging cable. Keeps them nicely together for travel or in the house. Very well made. If you prefer not to house your iPod in a dedicated case, this is perfect for your brief case, pack, pocketbook, or just your desk drawer for storage with the earbuds, charging cable, etc. Very well made, like the rigidity and the zipper closure.
Great, but...
By mleeliu
Going to purchase another one. Love the style, but the zipper broke on me. I've only had it for 6 months. :( Purchased other grid-it items, and have loved them. Hopefully just a "freak" flawed zipper
Merchant response: Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We are so sorry to hear about the zipper. Please give us a call so we can discuss options to make this right for you.
Very happy
By swimmeret
I am very happy with this case, and hope it lasts. At first I tried to put the iPod in one of the webbing sides, but it's too tight of a fit. Now instead I put earphones on one side, synch cable on the other (no wireless ntwk at work) and the iPod in the middle. Love this case.
Excellent product and price

I am always on the hunt for the perfect MP3 player and/or cell phone case, as mine take quite a beating in my purse and backpack. This handy little case does the trick for me. I have one for my iTouch, earphones, and charger cord and one for my Blackberry. Now neither one gets crushed.
Tight Fit

A sleek and stylish way to carry your iPod Classic with room for your player and earbuds. Snug fit requires moderate effort to get the full-size player out.

David Oman attended both Menlo College in Northern California and USC. Then while working as a page for ABC, he helped a friend deliver a subpoena which led him into a 12 year career as a private investigator. Picking up the entrepreneur gene from his father and the business acumen from his mother, David left the investigative business in 1998 to open a restaurant. He used his experience to produce a video entitled, The Original Bachelor's Barbecue Show.
After a stint as an executive responsible for developing studio connections for the first wave of video on demand services, David started helping his father build a house on Cielo Drive. This house would become the house featured prominently in the movie, House at the End of the Drive, in which David is the producer, creator, and co-writer.

Breakfast With Ted Cruz: 7 Takeaways
Freshman Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas reads Twitter voraciously, thinks Hillary Clinton would likely win the Democratic presidential nomination and tries to refrain from murder. In between criticizing President Barack Obama and Senate Republican leadership, Mr. Cruz offered some glimpses into his likes, dislikes, addictions and video game scores at a Politico breakfast on Thursday morning.
1. Mr. Cruz gave former Secretary of State Clinton a 40% chance of winning the presidency in 2016. "If she runs, she's very likely to become the Democratic nominee," he said. As to his own chances, Mr. Cruz said he's currently focused on the Senate.

- Wednesday Preview: Pence, Cruz Set to Take the Stage in Cleveland
2. He's still a fan of Chris Christie, the GOP governor of New Jersey whose administration has come under fire for allegedly orchestrating a traffic jam in Fort Lee, N.J., as retribution against a Democratic mayor.
"The whole Bridgegate thing is nonsense," Mr. Cruz said. "It's an example of the whole media piling on — apparently the most important story in the country is there was some traffic in New Jersey."
3. Mr. Cruz admitted to purchasing two copies of a Ted Cruz-themed coloring book on Amazon as Christmas gifts for his two daughters. He first read about the children's book on Twitter and initially thought it was a joke.
4. The Senate can resemble "a junior-high lunchroom," said Mr. Cruz, whose Republican colleagues expressed their frustration with him after he ensured that 60 votes — including five from Republicans — were needed to pass an increase in the federal borrowing limit earlier this month. GOP leaders' preferred strategy of "not rocking the boat" isn't the way to win elections, Mr. Cruz said, pointing instead to the tea party wave of 2010, which he said produced "an epic tsunami of a victory."
5. Mr. Cruz copped to an "excessive addiction" to his iPhone, largely spent reading Twitter. "Every nasty, left-wing tweet wishing misery on me, I read," he said. The lawmaker also noted he has reached level 217 on Candy Crush.
6. Mr. Cruz said he made a "miscalculation" in the push last year to link gutting funding for Obamacare to keeping the government running, an effort that led to the partial government shutdown last fall. Mr. Cruz said his mistake was in assuming that Senate Republicans would back House Republicans' push to repeal the health law instead of supporting a deal to reopen the government. "I did not anticipate that," he said.
7. Mr. Cruz has already watched the entire second season of "House of Cards," the Netflix show about a fictionalized Congress released earlier this month. The lawmaker called it "mind candy," and suggested it occasionally strayed from reality. "I don't know about you, but I really try to refrain from having people murdered in politics," he said.

Saturday, 7:15 a.m., Political Scoop: My guest this week is Rep. Pam Tucker, R-Greenland, who co-chairs the House Republican Alliance and has one of the most influential voices in Concord this legislative session. We talk about the House gun ban, her expectations of this session, and Maggie Hassan.
Sunday, 10 a.m., CloseUP: Host Josh McElveen discusses the upcoming state budget, bipartisanship, and expanded gambling with House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, and Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford. Then, he talks more specifically about House issues like the gun ban and eliminating the redress of grievances committee with Rep. Pam Tucker and Gary Richardson, D-Hopkinton.
For Those Keeping Track
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who is in cycle now, has $338,473 cash on hand in her campaign committee.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who will not be in cycle for another two years, has $676,061 cash on hand in her campaign committee.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas was not invited to Governor Hassan's inaugural ball held just blocks from his office.
In Case You Missed It
Can there be a new channel, C-SPAN4 maybe, that just follows Vice President Joe Biden around as he talks with people? (Or would that be too popular?) This week had some classic Biden moments including here and here (where he swears a 1-year-old into the U.S. Senate) and here.
By The Numbers
In her inaugural address, Gov. Hassan said the words "innovate" or "innovation" 18 times. But there was not one mention of health care.
Last week I asked: Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan's brother won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor for which play?
Here is our question for this week: Before Lynch and Hassan, name the last time New Hampshire elected two different Democratic governors back-to-back.
The first person to correctly answer "Side Man" was Hudson Democratic Chair Stuart Schneiderman.
Be the first to give the answer in an email (jpindell [at] hearst [dot] com), and I'll recognize you next week.
Questions For The Weekend
Watching Bill O'Brien speaking from the House floor this week begs the question: what is the best way for Republicans to use him these days?
Did Sen. Kelly Ayotte publicly declare she is running for re-election and not president in 2016 by voting for the debt deal this week?
For the same reasons, did Paul Ryan declare the same thing?
Did Sen. Jeanne Shaheen declare she was seeking re-election in 2014 when she hired a rockstar new communications director with deep campaign experience?
If you are Annie Kuster could you get a worse committee assignment than Agriculture? Not even Tom Delay did that to Charlie Bass! What is that all about?
Who would have guessed that Kelly Ayotte would attend Hassan's inauguration, but Senator Shaheen would not?
How forthright is Kevin Smith being in wanting to be invited to the Republican Governors Association's winter meeting?
Do Smith and others know there is a new name being floated for governor this week?
How long before Allen West is announced as a guest for a Lincoln Day dinner?
Is the race for state Republican Chairman going to be this lame or will it pick up next week?
How do the Cornerstone rank and file feel about the new director issuing a statement saying, "I was delighted to hear Governor Hassan list in her inaugural address the values New Hampshire citizens hold dear," given Hassan explicitly praised the state's gay marriage law?
Why is Travis Blais still listed as the Windham Republican Chair when he lives in Massachusetts?
As it stands today what are the odds that UNH gets all of its funding restored?
Why did it take Wayne MacDonald until 3.5 hours after the inaugural speech was over to send out a statement that could have been written weeks ago?
The New York Times Page 1 story this week about our all-female delegation mentioned there was a documentary being done on them. What should the working title be?
Maggie Hassan: She set the tone that she will be pushing an agenda instead of letting an agenda happen to her. She might be brand new, but she is in charge.
Craig Benson: His classy appearance at Hassan's inaugural got some buzz.
Chuck Morse: How the Senate Finance Chair plays the next six months will determine if Republicans put up a placeholder to run against Hassan or a serious candidate.
Frank Guinta: He made sure his last vote in Congress preserved future options.DOWN
Northern Pass: By already missing their self-imposed deadline for completion of the project, the concept appears in some serious trouble unless they get some political support soon. And that isn't looking likely.
Jennifer Horn: When you are running for state Republican Chair as the choice of Kelly Ayotte, it is not a good idea to take to your Facebook account and slam Ayotte's position on the fiscal cliff deal. (Even if you try to walk it back later).
State Rep. Cynthia Chase: Her comments about Free Staters got national attention this week. In theory, it's a pretty good thing to say, as long as you are Keene Democrat who knows how to leverage the attention. But she probably won't play it they way she could so the other side will get more out of it.

Just after his tractor-trailer crushed a car on an Interstate 526 overpass, Arnold Bradford Williams was seen walking outside his cab, witnesses told the police Monday.
They told them he was tossing beer cans onto the pavement 20 feet below. Police officers found and collected the cans.
At first, Williams was booked into jail on a felony DUI charge in connection with the six-vehicle wreck that killed 27-year-old Lauren Elyse Baccari. But the count was changed to reckless homicide "upon further review of the incident," North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
Amid a mangled heap of metal that once was an Acura, the witnesses also reported seeing a driver. She was dead and unrecognizable, but on her finger was a symbol of her newlywed status: a ring.
Baccari, a student at the Medical University of South Carolina, was identified Tuesday as the woman who died instantly in the wreck around noon Monday.
Williams, meanwhile, was behind bars. Police said the 35-year-old resident of Latta was driving too fast when he came upon a traffic jam created by a fuel spill two miles down the road. His 18-wheeler skidded along the road, then plowed into Baccari's 2005 Acura, which was one of many vehicles stopped at the Rivers Avenue interchange.
It was the second fatal crash in 24 hours on eastbound I-526 that ended with a motorist's felony arrest. Lisa Pistolis, 25, of Hanahan was jailed Sunday on a count of driving under the influence with death in a crash that killed a 35-year-old Charleston man.
As Williams' bail was set Tuesday at $100,000, Baccari's family gathered at a funeral home. Spally Taylor, a victim advocate for the North Charleston Police Department, said during a bond hearing that Baccari's body was so badly injured that loved ones will never be able to see her again.
Witnesses at the scene said that amid the mangled wreckage of Baccari's Acura, they noticed a ring adorning her finger.
"They're newly wed," Taylor said about Baccari and her husband, Gregory Vincent Baccari. "This is just a difficult time for them."
The first wreck was reported about 8 a.m. Monday on eastbound I-526 at Virginia Avenue. Crews had just cleaned up spilled fuel around noon and reopened the road to traffic.
But Baccari and others were still caught in the congestion when Williams' tractor-trailer approached. Without specifying his speed, an arrest affidavit stated that he was going too fast for the conditions when his truck hit three vehicles, causing a chain reaction.
Baccari's car was pinned under the truck and rendered unrecognizable. Three other people were hospitalized, including one who suffered a broken nose and other bone fractures.
The S.C. Department of Transportation said Tuesday that electronic signs on Interstate 26 had been flashing warnings about the earlier crash on I-526 and about the slowed or stopped traffic. James Law, a local DOT spokesman, said trucks with a flashing arrow also were dispatched to I-526.
But he could not immediately say where the signs were placed or when they left.
"We always post signs to warn people," Law said.
Loved ones of Williams' gathered in a courtroom Tuesday and pleaded with a magistrate for a chance to bail him out of jail.
One them said she had been with Williams for 15 years and was now his fiancee.
Another, the Rev. Larry Williams, said his nephew drives a truck in the Charleston area during the week, then returns to his family in Latta on the weekends.
Larry Williams said he visited his nephew in the jail, and they prayed for Baccari's family.
"All I've ever known is that he tried to feed his family," Larry Williams said. "This has clearly been an accident. ... He's never been in any trouble. He's a good person."
Though Monday's arrest was Williams' first in South Carolina, Magistrate Linda Lombard said he had accumulated traffic tickets. He has been cited at least once for having an open container of beer and once for improper passing, court records show. He also has at least 10 tickets for failing to wear a seat belt.
But it was what the police said led to Monday's fatal wreck that prompted the magistrate to set a high bail.
"There's a history of speeding," Lombard said. "It's sad it has to end this way."

Nascar's Denny Hamlin
Nascar # 10 Denny Hamlin.
Nascar # 10 Denny Hamlin.
Gregory: He has no role, said Steven Cheung, the campaign's director of rapid response, when ABC News asked about the report. We are not aware of any of his activities, past or present. The man who claims to have the best brain can't remember announcing page as a foreign adviser last March. Then there's Felix Sater a Russian immigrant who did time for stabbing a man in the face with a broken bottle, who was implicated in a $40 million "pump and dump" stock swindle that involved Russian criminals and American mobsters, who also gave a $5400 dollar campaign contribution to trump, who trump claims, if he were sitting in the room right now, I really wouldn't know what he looked like, even though there are photos of the the two of them being chummy, and in 2010 according trump's lawyer, Sater was provided business cards by the trump Organization identifying him as a senior adviser to trump. Just for the fun of it I hope Hillary refers to him as crooked donald during the debate.

City Council on Wednesday made a move that could reverberate for decades - introducing an ordinance that could lead to a change in the city's form of government.
If adopted by council Feb. 13, the ordinance would place a referendum on the May primary ballot asking whether to create a government study commission, as recommended in the city's Act 47 plan.
If a majority of voters approve and the necessary seven commission candidates receive enough votes to be elected, the panel would have nine months to examine options, which would include making Altoona a home-rule community.
That recommendation would itself become subject of a voter referendum.
Adopting home rule is an Act 47 "exit strategy," because it would allow the city to get out from under state caps on real estate and earned income taxes, according to the city's recently adopted Act 47 recovery plan.
Act 47 removed those caps temporarily, allowing the city to balance a budget that otherwise would be in deficit this year, but the caps will return when the city leaves the distress program.
City officials have said repeatedly they want to get out of Act 47 as soon as possible.
Home rule would not allow the city to keep its recently levied Act 47 commuter tax - which is an additional earned income tax on non-residents who work in the city.
Nanticoke and Plymouth Township, Luzerne County, have adopted home rule as part of their Act 47 exit strategy, according to the recovery plan.
Home rule would allow the city to escape systemic problems that developed despite good management, as detailed in fiscal studies of Altoona by the Pennsylvania Economy League and the Act 47 coordinator, Councilman Dave Butterbaugh said.
It would allow the city to get out of the "Catch 22" situation inflicted by provisions of the state's Third Class City Code, which sets compensation requirements for necessary services, while putting limitations on raising revenues needed to pay for those services, Butterbaugh said.
"It would give Altoona its sovereignty back," Councilman Mark Geis said. "A study commission is the first step."
Staff proposed the ordinance introduction without preamble - it wasn't on the printed agenda for Wednesday - after City Manager Joe Weakland, solicitor Larry Clapper and Mayor Bill Schirf realized recently that there was no time to waste if the referendum was to go on the primary ballot.
State law requires that the proposal be advertised a designated number of times and filed at least 13 Tuesdays before the election, Weakland said.
People who want to run for a spot on the study commission must be registered voters and city residents. They must obtain 200 signatures or 2 percent of the number of city votes cast in the last gubernatorial election - whichever is less, according to Clapper. In order to be elected, commission candidates must receive as least as many votes as signatures required to get on the ballot.
Write-in candidates would need to meet those same signature criteria - except with votes at the ballot box.
If the referendum succeeds, the commission could hold public and private meetings involving anyone it wants to help it come up with a recommendation on a form of government for the city, according to Clapper.
If it recommends home rule, it can ask for an additional nine months to write a home-rule charter, Clapper said.
Home rule, however, is not a "panacea," said Councilman Bruce Kelley, noting that there are municipalities - including Johnstown - that remain in the Act 47 program despite home rule.
Tyrone is the only home-rule community in Blair County, according to the recovery plan.
Before 1987, a full-time, five-member City Council ran the city.
In 1987, based on a resident petition, a referendum initiated a government study commission, which led to the current form of government, under the Home Rule Charter and Optional Plans Law.
Like DuBois, the city adopted the council-manager plan under the optional plans provision of the law.
Under home rule, the city could continue under the council-manager form of government or go with a strong mayor.

Good cop, bad cop is a strategy we've seen employed many times by celebrity duos, but no two performers have perfected it quite like Country Music Awards co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, who reteamed to emcee the show for the sixth straight year on Wednesday.
While The Sound of Music star had her fair share of digs – at Blake Shelton and Obamacare, no less – the real low-blows were left up to Paisley, who left no stone unturned as he went after country music's biggest stars. Check out our round-up of who got hit the hardest:
Miley Cyrus
The Bangerz singer has been admonished by everyone from Sinéad O'Connor to Happy Days's Marion Ross, but Wednesday proved Paisley's turn to comment on her still-scandalous VMAs performance. While addressing squeaky-clean Taylor Swift, Paisley quipped, "I want to thank you from a grateful industry, for never once humping a teddy bear or gyrating with Beetlejuice. I really appreciate it. I know that's not easy."
Dolly Parton
Midway through the show, Paisley provided viewers with an update on the ailing country songstress following her car accident – but he didn't stop there. "Thankfully, Dolly did have airbags," he said, "However, the ones in the car did not deploy."
Luke Bryan
Giving the "That's My Kind of Night" singer a hard time about his dancing, Paisley said, "I thought they were mini-seizures," when Underwood cited Bryan as an example of someone who twerks.
Kellie Pickler
Kicking off the show with a skit about feuds, Paisley and Underwood tried to initiate animosity among those seated in the audience by having Pickler pass out notecards to stars that named their new foe. But when the blonde bombshell failed to distribute the names as quickly as Paisley would've liked – perhaps due to the restrictive nature of her formfitting gown – he remarked, "Come on there, Baywatch, get going."
Kenny Rogers
When Paisley was paired with "enemy" Rogers for the feud bit, he went after the legendary country star with a silent tirade out of earshot of the mic, later apologizing to Underwood for the outburst. "I'm sorry Carrie, but Kenny Rogers is pure evil," he said.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
Having never seen an Audrey Hepburn film before, the only image of her I have in my head is, of course, the sleek black dress, the ornate pearl necklace, and the dark sunglasses from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've always associated this photo with Hepburn's status as a style icon, as opposed to the film it spawned from. Finally seeing the movie that helped make her a legend was actually an interesting and surprisingly enjoyable experience.
Breakfast at Tiffany's definitely brought out the girl in me.
