Achilles again sidelines Ordonez
By Matt Snyder
Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez left Monday's game against the Rangers with tightness in his Achilles. He had been battling soreness in his right ankle in the early going this season, after having surgery on the ankle this past offseason. He missed Sunday's game and was pulled following the seventh inning Monday. He will reportedly miss "at least the next few days" moving forward. (MLB.com )
Ordonez, 37, hasn't done much to help the 3-7 Tigers here in the early going of 2011. His on-base and slugging percentages are both below .300 and he still isn't moving well in right field. Meanwhile, Brennan Boesch and Ryan Raburn have swung the bat relatively well thus far -- not to mention both are much younger than Ordonez. It's hard to see how him missing a few days really hurts the team.

Pepper: Facebookin' baseball fans
By Evan Brunell
FACEBOOKIN': Oh, the things you can find out.
A group of Facebook data scientists got together and analyzed all 30 teams' fan pages on Facebook as well as status updates of its fans.
"While the U.S. may be a country of 50 states, to fans of Major League Baseball, it's a country of thirty teams, each with its own sphere of influence," the report stated.
So what was found?
For one, the World Series last season that opposed the Giants and Rangers pitted America's most liberal baseball fans against its most conservative. Not that much of a surprise given each team's respective locations. But the Giants were also part of a list of fans that were young and single. The two teams that paced baseball in having the youngest and most available fans were the Athletics and Blue Jays. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a Cardinals, Reds or Tigers fan is more likely to be older and married.
How about popularity? There are plenty of teams that "vie for popularity in Southern California, [but] teams like the Braves are dominant over most of the South," the report said.
The most popular team, though, was the Yankees as a fan "liked" the team every 1.5 teams. Bringing up the rear were the Nationals with over five teams liked per fan. (San Francisco Chronicle)
READYING FOR SUNDAY: Barry Zito is expected to make his start Sunday after coming through a throwing program Friday with no repercussions. Zito is still recovering from a car crash Wednesday night that has left him with a stiff neck. (San Jose Mercury-News)
FRENEMIES: A nice feature story on both Ed Wade and Ruben Amaro. Amaro, of course is the GM of the Phillies that has made bold moves lately to create a vaunted rotation while Wade hired Amaro to the front office and preceded Amaro as GM of the Phillies back in the dog days of Philly baseball before Pat Gillick came in and turned things around. (Philly.com)
BACK HOME: It was a strange return to Texas of sorts for Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who made his second straight opening start in the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Of course, last year he was a Ranger and ended up delivering the first game-winning hit of Texas' 2010 season. "I've got nothing but good things to say about Salty," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "The guy works his butt off. The tools are there, but it's like anything else. Talking and writing about it is one thing. Getting it done between the lines is another." (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram)
STOP CHEWING: Commissioner Bud Selig fully intends to attempt a ban on smokeless tobacco in the next round of labor negotiations. He may have a difficult time getting the ban in place. Where's the line between what baseball can demand and a player's on personal choice? (MLB.com)
MMM, FOOD: Here's an interesting list of the best new food at ballparks for 2011. Topping the list is the "Meat Lover's Hot Dog" that is being rolled out in Cincinnati. It's a quarter-pound hot dog wrapped in bacon, deep-fried and then topped with pepper, jack cheese and fried salami. Sounds delish, but also sounds right in line with America's obsession with pigging out and then complaining about being obese. (Mantestedrecipes.com)
LINEUP CONTROVERSY: Brennan Boesch is in the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Yankees, while presumed starting left fielder Ryan Raburn has hit the bench. That creates lots of questions about just what is the status quo in Detroit. (Detroit News)
NOT ROLLING IN MONEY: Forbes created a bit of a stir by revealing the Padres had the highest operating income last season at $37.2 million. Does that mean San Diego is pocketing money rather than reinvesting it back into the team? Not quite, as Forbes could have overstated the amount of profit by the team as much as $10 million. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
OVERCLAWING: The SEC believes Irving Picard is taking things a bit too far in his fee requirements in his capacity as trustee overseeing Bernie Madoff's financial empire. Picard is supposed to return the money to its rightful owners and yet could threaten the $2.5 billion fund of the government-sponsored nonprofit organization that manages the liquidation of failed brokerage firms in personal fees.

Honorary All-Grudzielanek team
Mark Grudzielanek played in 1,802 games over the course of 15 major-league seasons. He appeared in uniform for six different teams, making the NLCS twice -- once with the Cubs and once with the Cardinals. He hit .289 with over 2,000 hits and 946 runs scored. He earned one Gold Glove and made the All-Star team once. He was a good guy who always played hard and was generally liked by teammates. Basically, Grudzielanek had a quality major-league career, but won't be showing up on any all-time lists.
That is, unless you are looking squarely at that stupendous last name.
So, in light of his retirement announcement Wednesday, it only seems fitting to put together an All-Star team of the best names in baseball. We're looking for who will carry the torch on with Grudz's departure, so it's current players only. No real criteria, other than that the name just has to sound interesting or be really hard to spell -- or both. This is completely subjective, so there's definite room for argument.
Without further ado, here is the 25-man roster (we also listed all names we considered).
CATCHER: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Red Sox. And here's the team captain. There's no better name in baseball. Backup: J.P. Arencibia, Blue Jays. Also considered: Francisco Cervelli, Yankees; Taylor Teagarden, Rangers.
FIRST BASE: Pablo Sandoval, Giants. Bonus points for having an awesome nickname. Backup: Kila Ka'aihue, Royals. Also considered: Justin Smoak, Mariners
SECOND BASE: Chone Figgins, Mariners. Real slim pickings here. Nearly every name for a second basemen is bland or common. We'll go with Figgins because "Chone" is pronounced "Sean" or "Shaun" or "Shawn." Also considered: Robinson Cano, Yankees; Dan Uggla, Braves.
THIRD BASE: Kevin Kouzmanoff, A's. Also considered: Placido Polanco, Phillies.
SHORTSTOP: Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies. Alliteration gets him the nod here. Backup: Yuniesky Betancourt. Also considered: Marco Scutaro, Red Sox; Ryan Theriot, Cardinals.
LEFT FIELD: Scott Podsednik, Blue Jays. Also considered: Chris Coghlan, Marlins; Chris Denorfia, Padres; Ryan Langerhans, Mariners.
CENTER FIELD: Coco Crisp, A's. Another no-brainer. Second easiest pick on here after Saltalamacchia. Backup: Colby Rasmus, Cardinals. Also considered: Nyjer Morgan, Nationals; Rajai Davis, Blue Jays; Cameron Maybin, Padres; Denard Span, Twins; Ryan Spilborghs, Rockies.
RIGHT FIELD: Brennan Boesch, Tigers. Tough call here, but I'm a sucker for the alliteration. Plus, that's just a smooth combo. Props to his parents. Also considered: Jeff Francoeur, Royals; Nate Schierholtz, Giants; Nick Markakis, Orioles.
DESIGNATED HITTER: Milton Bradley, Mariners. Personal feelings aside, this was another obvious one.
STARTING ROTATION: CC Sabathia, Yankees; Max Scherzer, Tigers; Brian Matusz, Orioles; Marc Rzepczynski, Blue Jays; Justin Duchscherer, Orioles. CC gets the nod due to his first name being Carsten. Oh, and for losing the periods to his initials. The other four are pretty obvious with those last names. Grudz is surely proud. Also considered: Bronson Arroyo, Reds; Tim Lincecum, Giants; Madison Bumgarner, Giants; Gio Gonzalez, A's; Tom Gorzelanny, Nationals.
BULLPEN: Octavio Dotel, Blue Jays; Jeff Samardzija, Cubs; Fu-Te Ni, Tigers; Boof Bonser, Mets; Burke Badenhop, Marlins. All pretty obvious great names here, and I especially love "The Hopper," as the Marlins' announcers call Badenhop. Also considered: Brian Duensing, Twins; Joba Chamberlain, Yankees; Jeremy Affeldt, Giants; Jason Isringhausen, Mets.
SETUP: David Aardsma, Mariners. Based mostly on the fact that if you listed every major league player of all-time alphabetically, only Aardsma would come before the great Hank Aaron.
CLOSER: J.J. Putz, Diamondbacks. C'mon. He uses a double initial and his last name looks like an insult (though it's actually pronounced "puts," not "putts," for those in the dark).
MANAGER: Mike Scioscia, Angels. Maybe it's all mental at this point, but spelling that thing correctly still trips me up. Give me Grudzielanek any day. Also considered: Mike Quade, Cubs; Ned Yost, Royals; Manny Acta, Indians.

R.I.P. Tigers: Injuries play spoiler
As the sports world waits for the crowning of a champion, 22 other teams are busy preparing for spring training. What went wrong for these teams, and what does 2011 hold? MLB Facts and Rumors here at CBS Sports will be answering those questions in October. Today: our penultimate entry, the Detroit Tigers.
It was a tale of two seasons in the Motor City in 2010: a first half that was better than expected, and a second half that was worse.
Attrition had a lot to do with it, as injuries thinned the ranks and left Triple Crown candidate Miguel Cabrera exposed in the lineup. But the Tigers had a lot of young talent step up, and ended up feeling about as good as you can feel when you lead the division midway through the season and end up in third place with a .500 record.
Injuries. Bad ones, to important players, at critical times.
Brandon Inge broke his hand, Joel Zumaya his elbow and, most damaging, Magglio Ordonez broke his ankle on a slide into home plate on July 24 and never returned. Plus you had Carlos Guillen straining something twice a month and playing just 68 games. The injuries had a domino effect on the team, as roles changed and opponents started being able to pitch around Cabrera.
The offense and bullpen numbers were middle-of-the-pack, but the starting pitching was subpar, 11th in the AL in ERA.
And this should probably more properly fall under what went right, but Armando Galarraga's "perfect game that wasn't" on June 2 ended up as more of a gut punch than a highlight. It was a good symbol of the Tigers' season: No matter what they did, the breaks seemed to be against them.
Cabrera was tremendous, putting up a .328/.420/.622 line with 38 homers and 126 RBIs. His RBI total, on-base percentage and OPS+ of 179 were tops in the AL. If it were possible to do it all yourself, he certainly gave it a try. Ordonez, too, was having a big season, batting .303 before his injury.
Young hitting was in abundance, with two outfielders in the rookie of the year conversation. Austin Jackson batted .293, scored 103 runs, hit 34 doubles and play exciting defense. Brennan Boesch looked a heck of a lot better in the first half (.342 average) than the second (.163), but showed he's got potential.
On the pitching side, Justin Verlander was an 18-game winner and an All-Star, Max Scherzer went 12-11 with a 3.50 ERA after arriving last winter from Arizona, and 22-year-old Rick Porcello weathered some growing pains and a trip to the minors and won five of his last six decisions.
The Tigers farm system is considered thin at the top, but some very good signs arrived from Triple-A Toledo. Will Rhymes (pictured, below right) put himself in the picture for the starting job at second base by batting .304 in 54 games, and outfielder Casper Wells was tremendous 9.323/.364/.538) in a 36-game audition.
The Tigers have some good core pieces and a lot of payroll flexibility, and a big part of what went wrong this year can be attributed to injuries. For those reasons, the Tigers are in a good position for 2011.
The Tigers have anywhere from $50 million to $70-plus million coming off the books, depending on how you do the accounting, so they're in good position to address their needs.
The question is, how do they spend that money? They declined Ordonez's pricey option, but could re-sign him for less. That would be a good start, but they could really use another middle-of-the-order threat.
As for the top free-agent bats, they've got room in the outfield for Carl Crawford or Jayson Werth, but no place for Adrian Beltre now that they've made a multi-year offer to Inge (and Beltre is not likely to become a DH). Detroit could be an attractive option for Adam Dunn if he softens on his demand not to DH.
The Tigers are happy with the trio of Verlander, Scherzer and Porcello at the top of the rotation, and have said they want to convert Phil Coke to starting because they need a left-hander. But a veteran guy like Aaron Harang would fit nicely.
Look for the Tigers to be contenders next year, making for what should be an entertaining three-way battle with the Twins and White Sox in the Central.

Tigers could have young offense in 2011
Theoretically, the Tigers could have seven of eight position players on the diamond (excluding pitcher) be rookies from the 2010 season.
That won't happen, but it does underline how much of a transitional season 2010 was for the Tigers and how much young talent the team has in the fold.
Now it's about figuring out which ones start.
"You don't want to downplay what these kids are doing, but you don't want to get carried away, either," manager Jim Leyland told MLive.com .
"If you remember right, four months ago, people were talking about Boesch as Babe Ruth," Leyland added. "All of a sudden, that's gone away and they're talking about Will Rhymes and Casper Wells. You've got to be careful with all that.
"You've got to make sound judgments as an organization."
The seven rookies are:
"I think there are some ingredients here that are pretty young that can handle the job at this level, for sure," Jim Leyland noted. "But if you think you can just take all young guys and go walk through a division, that's not going to happen. You're going to get your [butt] beat."
If the Tigers run out all seven rookies in that lineup around Miguel Cabrera, then the club would certainly get their
"[butt]" beat.

Boesch follows up hot start with struggles
Brennan Boesch had one of the most impressive debuts a rookie can have, landing in the majors on April 23 and going on to hit .342/.397/.593 with 12 home runs in 267 plate appearances in the first half.
However, his second half has been anything but impressive, checking in at just two home runs over 201 PA with a line of .155/.234/.215. That's nothing short of a terrible line, and the struggles have been tough for the youngster to handle.
"You'd like to say you're ready and a finished product when you get here," Boesch told the Detroit News . "And it seemed that way for a while. But never did I get complacent."
Boesch was never a highly-regarded prospect, so his breakout was met with skepticism. Even though he predictably regressed, the amount of regression Boesch has undergone has been ridiculous, and is starting to weigh on the 25-year-old's mind.
"A lot of it is not physical, a lot of it is mental," Boesch added. "So, there are some things I'd like to fine-tune -- Being in a consistent mind-set, not allowing distractions to take over. I want to be consistent rather than amazing one day, and not the next."
Manager Jim Leyland, who has seen plenty of baseball players come and go, thinks Boesch has the chance to be a strong player if he can grow from his struggles.
"He can run, he can throw, he can hit for power. There was a stretch there when, arguably, he probably was producing better than anyone in baseball," he said.
Certainly not in the second half.
To prepare for the 2011 season, Boesch is headed to California with teammate Danny Worth, where he will undergo a training program along with Delmon Young and Carlos Quentin. He'll enter 2011 with a good chance to make the major-league squad, especially with an outfield in flux with only Austin Jackson assured of a job.
Magglio Ordonez, the team's starting right fielder, went down with a season-ending injury earlier in the season and is a free agent. Johnny Damon, who is primarily the designated hitter but can also play left field, is also a free agent. Boesch, Casper Wells and Ryan Raburn all split time in the outfield, and Carlos Guillen, currently at second base, could shift to left field for the final year of his deal in 2011.
With just $55 million guaranteed prior to arbitration raises, the Tigers could also flash the checkbook to free agents in the attempt to propel Detroit back into the playoffs.
With all of these factors, Leyland wasn't ready to commit to Boesch on the 25-man squad, but believes he'll recover from the second-half slump.
"I'm not gonna say he's a slam-dunk, but he'll compete [next spring] and whatever he gets is up to him," he said.-- Evan Brunell

Evaluating the AL Rookie of the Year race
There has been an abundance of quality rookies hitting the majors in 2010... except most of them are in the National League.
In the American League, it's a decidedly different story. Oh sure, there's plenty of talent here -- of the names below, plenty of All-Star Game appearances will be racked up.
LF/RF Brennan Boesch
Detroit Tigers
Brennan Boesch's second half of the season has been the complete opposite of the first half, when Boesch burst on the scene with an exclamation mark. Still, his first half was so strong, he deserves real consideration for the award -- and if he can pull off a hot September, could actually make a run for it. His .342/.397/.593 OPS in 267 first-half plate appearances is nothing short of incredible, especially given Boesch was an unheralded prospect. In the second half, he has a paltry .152./218/.225, unsurprising given regression to the mean and his lacking peripherals. Still, his overall line remains strong enough to contend in a diluted pool of candidates.
SP Wade Davis
Tampa Bay Rays
11-9, 134 1/3 IP, 4.29 ERA, 51 BB, 85 K, 4.96 xFIP, 0.3 WAR
Davis hasn't had his season go entirely to plan, but is the only starting pitcher worthy of consideration with 11 wins and an ERA approximating a solid starter even if his xFIP points out that he's in actuality, a back-of-the-rotation starter. He'll likely top 100 strikeouts and will have his case bolstered by being a year-long member of a rotation that made the postseason. Davis skidded in June with a 6.00 ERA, but has turned his season back around and so far in August, is having his best month in peripherals.
CL Neftali Feliz
Texas Rangers
33 SV, 57 IP, 3.32 ERA, 16 BB, 59 K, 3.77 xFIP, 1.2 WAR
The prohibitive favorite, Feliz has notched 33 saves for the AL West-leading Rangers and done so in spectacular fashion, blowing away hitters left and right when he trots in from the dugout. Even though Texas should try to slot him in the rotation long-term, for now, he's been everything the Rangers needed at the end of a ballgame. If he can get to 40 saves in September, he should have the award all but locked up. Austin Jackson is Feliz's biggest competition for an award, and how both players produce in September will dictate the outcome.
CF Austin Jackson
Detroit Tigers
Jackson has been quite lucky this season -- there's no denying that. However, there's also no denying that he can hit for contact despite a lack of walks and a propensity of strikeouts. He's also one of the best fielders in the game, which goes a long way towards giving him the best WAR ahead of anyone else on the list. Simply put -- he's contributed the most wins to a team of any rookie in the league. It's possible Jackson could lose some votes to teammate Boesch.
RP Sergio Santos
Chicago White Sox
42 IP, 2.36 ERA, 22 BB, 43 K, 4.18 xFIP, 0.6 WAR
Why Santos on this list? Because unlike the rest of the rookie candidates, he's the last remaining who has made a tangible impact on his team's season. Santos has quickly morphed from a light-hitting infielder to one of the best relievers in the game, and closing may be in his future. Until then, he still has much to learn about pitching -- but not much to learn about how to throw a fastball. A big reason the White Sox are in contention is due to Santos, J.J. Putz and Matt Thornton all but putting the seventh and eighth innings out of reach.
Apologies to: Brian Matusz, Mitch Talbot

In focus
Conflict in Iraq has disrupted food markets, leading to price hikes in Anbar, Salah Al-Din and Kirkuk. According to the 2014-2015 Strategic Response Plan, around 5.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, and over 2.5 million people are currently displaced.
Snapshot 18-24 March 2015
Syria: The Government carried out over 10,000 airstrikes between October and March, dropping more than 5,300 barrel bombs and killing almost 2,200 civilians. A chlorine attack on 16 March in Idleb killed six people.
Press Release 83/2015 16 March 2015
Snapshot 11–17 March 2015
Vanuatu: 24 people are confirmed dead so far after Tropical Cyclone Pam hit on 13 March. Shefa, Tafea, Malampa, and Penama are among the worst affected provinces. Access challenges are significant.
Cameroon: The number of people internally displaced in the north has almost doubled since 10 February, to 117,000. This brings the number of displaced in Cameroon to an estimated 412,700, including 66,000 fleeing Boko Haram violence in Nigeria and the rest from the Central African Republic.
This brief summarizes FEWS NET's most forward-looking analysis of projected emergency food assistance needs in FEWS NET coverage countries. The projected size of each country's acutely food insecure population is compared to last year and the recent five-year average. Countries where external emergency food assistance needs are anticipated are identified. Projected lean season months highlighted in red indicate either an early start or an extension to the typical lean season.
Iraq: 26,000 people have fled fighting between Islamic State and Iraqi security forces in Tikrit for Samarra. Food, shelter, health and WASH needs are priorities. More than 100 families have arrived in Al Dour, located between Tikrit and Samarra, and thousands have fled to central and southern governorates.
South Sudan: Heavy fighting between government and opposition was reported in Upper Nile state, and government troops took control of Wadakona town. Many civilians are reported trapped. Peace talks have collapsed.

FAO has further raised its estimate of the 2014 world cereal production and its forecast for global cereal stocks. Early prospects for cereal supplies in 2015/16 are mostly favourable, partly sustained by large stocks accumulated over the previous two seasons.
FAO's first forecast for global wheat production in 2015 indicates a likely small contraction, mostly reflecting an expected decline in Europe from last year's record output.
Situation Générale en février 2015 Prévision jusqu'à 'mi-avril 2015
La situation relative au Criquet pèlerin est restée préoccupante en février le long de la cote de la mer Rouge, au Soudan et en Érythrée, où des opérations de lutte ont été réalisées contre un grand nombre de bandes larvaires, groupes d'ailes et essaims.
Afghanistan: Heavy snowfall has caused avalanches in northern, central and eastern Afghanistan; 280 people have died. Panshir province is most affected. Communication lines have been disrupted in places, power supplies to Kabul have been cut. Priority needs are for NFIs and emergency shelter; access to isolated areas is difficult.
General Situation during February 2015 Forecast until mid-April 2015
Snapshot 18-24 February 2015
Myanmar: 90,000 people are now reported to have been displaced by continuing violence between government troops and multiple armed groups in Kokang, Shan state. Aid organisations have been subject to attack – seven people were wounded in two separate incidents.
Snapshot 11–17 February 2015
Myanmar: Fighting between the Myanmar army and the MNDAA, an insurgent group in the Kokang area of Shan state, displaced tens of thousands of people. Some fled into central Myanmar, while between 30,000 and 50,000 are thought to have crossed into Nansan, Yunnan province, China.
This brief summarizes FEWS NET's most forward-looking analysis of projected emergency food assistance needs in FEWS NET coverage countries. The projected size of each country's acutely food insecure population is compared to last year and the recent five-year average. Countries where external emergency food assistance needs are anticipated are identified. Projected lean season months highlighted in red indicate either an early start or an extension to the typical lean season.
Snapshot 4–10 February 2015
Guinea: An increase in Ebola case numbers has been reported for the second consecutive week. Resistance to the response remains high in Forecariah, worst affected by the outbreak; though ten prefectures have reported at least one incident of resistance. Clashes between armed forces and the community were reported in Matoto, Conakry.
Snapshot 28 January – 3 February 2015
DRC: 30,000 refugees have fled CAR for Equateur province since December. In North Kivu, 18,000 new IDPs need humanitarian assistance; another 21,000 are in need in South Kivu. Nationwide, food security is worsening: over one-third of territories are in Crisis or Emergency phases.
The year opened with a worsening of the ongoing conflicts in Yemen, Nigeria and Ukraine, each with potentially major regional implications. Violence escalated in Sudan, as well as in Lebanon's Tripoli and along its southern border with Israel, and a deadly clash between police and militants in the southern Philippines threatened to derail the peace process there. In South Asia, both Bangladesh and Nepal saw political tensions intensify.

Iowa credit union adopts new payments platform, says 650 already enrolled.
When it comes to lower income and underserved consumers, the chief challenge facing some mainstream credit unions and banks may not be how to serve them competitively but whether to serve them at all.
The National Retail Federation has urged the Federal Trade Commission to move cautiously in establishing regulations for mobile payments.
For the 66% of account holders who would consider switching their financial institutions if the move wasn't so painful, Texas Trust Credit Union said it has a plan to make the entire process easier and faster.
The free service allows consumers to transfer pre-authorized payments and deposits from their old bank account to their new Texas Trust account.
Metro Credit Union has partnered with five organizations in its home community of Chelsea to bring financial and employment services to lower-income residents.
Celebrity personal finance expert Suze Orman has launched a prepaid debit card that, if it becomes popular, could wind up costing credit unions significant amounts of money.
Consumers are clearly in the driver's seat these days as they account for nearly the bulk of all bank deposit dollars.
Follow up Bank Transfer Day with focus on unbanked, underbanked who are most vulnerable to payday lenders, expensive big banks.
Almost a third of households which closed bank accounts between 2009 and 2010 did so because of unexpected or unexplained fees.

text: Hi DIS friends! I'm hoping ya'll can help me ease my mind a little. My mom has been dreaming of being able to watch Wishes from her room for years. We finally decided that life is short, and we're going to splurge a little and do it! Due to the size of our traveling party, a 2 bedroom at BLT is our best option (after MUCH research and debate ) I read on the BLT/CR thread that the dates you can book if you don't own DVC can vary and there's a likelihood that we might not even be able to get it, and I'm trying not to let my brain go there. I have hope! Since the release dates can vary, I thought I'd post a poll for others who don't own DVC who have been able to book (through CRO, not by renting points.) If you could, please, choose the poll option that describes how soon in advance of your trip you were able to book. We are looking at staying in July of 2014, so if anyone stayed this July (or is about to) and would like to post your experiences below I would REALLY appreciate that! If you could also please post what type of room/view you were able to book and the time frame in which you booked it in the posting section that would help me out a lot too I'm trying to avoid having to look online or call CRO every day for 6 months, ha! Thanks so much!! *I stopped the poll at 2 months because I read that the inventory is released at 60 days out, so if you booked less than 60 days out, please just choose the 2 month option

Pantoja Park
- G Street and India, San Diego, CA 92101 | Directions
San Diego's oldest park (built in 1850) has the feeling of a Spanish or Latin American plaza. Workers on lunch break play soccer and throw Frisbees on the grass in the center while office types in suits and tennis shoes parade around the broad path that circumnavigates the roughly one-acre park. The less active lounge in sun on the fringes or in the shade of four enormous Moreton Bay fig trees. There's no bay view, but that's kind of the point. It's a sort of green cove in the concrete ocean of downtown.

I'm baaaaack yay! Another day, another story! Well, I'm sick in bed so I just feel like writing...So yeah...Read & review! Nice things though! :D
First song fic
Shuichi stood at the edge of the curtain, watching his fans yell out their cheers of adoration. He smiled. At least some people liked him.
On the outside, Shuichi was as happy as happy can be. But on the inside however. On the inside, he was battling in a deep mindless battle with himself. Should he stay or should he just go.
Right now he was currently waiting for the rest of the band to get ready to start their concert. So far, it had been an exiting night...but a painful one also.
Eiri was there.
Why? Why would he be here?! He never came to my concerts before, but now he decides to come?! Shuichi screamed in his head.
You see...Eiri and Shu broke up quite sometime ago. It was after a fight about who knows what, and you know what Shuichi did? No. He did not start crying.
He stood up for himself.
HE was the one who finally said enough.
Eiri told him to get out. So he did. As soon as the author locked himself in his study, Shuichi packed his things and left.
Eiri told him that he would never want Shu plenty of times and only now did Shuichi decide to do something.
That was 4 months ago.
Sure, Shu had seen him once or twice in that time period but not when he had something as important as a concert.
Pft, Tohma probably dragged him here. Shu heard that they had something planed for tonight, whatever it was, but it had to be canceled because tonight was the concert that BadLuck came off of their hiatus. They had been on hiatus of 4 months as well. Actually, they went on hiatus the day after Shu broke up with Eiri. They decided to take a break so they can rest up and try messing around with songs for when they went to their first concert in the coming months. That was a bummer for Shu. He was hoping to have work take his mind off Eiri. *sigh* Oh we'll...
Shuichi stood in a place where no one could see him but he could see everyone. He saw Eiri , Mika Tatsua, and Tohma was backstage. Even Eiri's father.
That was a surprise.
*sigh* they probably had nothing better to do.
"What's got you down, Shu?" Shuichi heard.
It was Hiro, his best friend.
"Shuichi just pointed through the audience to where Eiri was.
"Oh I see... Are you going to be okay?" Hiro asked.
"Totally Hiro, I'll be fine. I won't let it bother me. Trust me." Shuichi put on a smile.
"Well, okay. But make sure you tell me when I can do somethin' m'kay" Hiro said whil e ruffling Shuichi's jet black hair.
Oh wait.
I forgot to tell you. Shuichi sorta *cough* changed his looks some what. He died his hair black as sort to say 'I'm not a Pink ball of hyped up energy and messiness anymore.' And he doesn't wear skimpy clothes anymore. He changed to a T-Shirt with a little graphic or word on the front. For example: 'Sup' or 'Bro' (A/N: I don't own these, but I wish I could meet the people who did XD). He also usually wore a black leather jacket or jumper over it. He still wears skinny jeans though. He also wore a black fedora with tiny white stripes across it. It added to the affect.
'Hehe Eiri hasn't seen me in these clothes yet. I wonder how he'll react.'
"Ready to go on in 5"
This broke Shu out of his thoughts. He fixed his black hair and T-shirt and jacket. He met up with hero and they got ready to go on stage.
The lights started to "malfunction" and go out. That signaled BadLuck to get into position. They all stood in their spots.
"Are we all ready to have some fun tonight?!" Shu yelled into the mic. The crowd screamed in answer.
"All riiight! Lets do this thing!"
The first song kicked into gear.

Sounding like a forgotten artist from the classic Americana soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, San Francisco's the Brothers Comatose offers just enough of a lively spin to make it an excellent addition to the modern folk/country scene. The band's five members (only two of whom are actually brothers), mesh traditional, acoustic American roots music with an energetic spirit that draws comparisons to like-minded revivalists such as The Devil Makes Three. The band's instrumentation of banjo, guitar, stand-up bass and fiddle really comes to life in a live setting.

Though decades have passed since he hit the peak of his commercial appeal, Schenker leads the Michael Schenker Group with razor sharp, atypical lead guitar chops and a lifetime of experience writing and performing music.

- This is a pretty unique, unusual wall poster calendar.Instead of helping you count the days, it helps you count the nights of your year, by being a normal(yet mysterious) poster during the day, and by showing you the dates only during the night.It absorbs any kind of light and glows for some time in the dark. It works perfectly in black light, too.
The first picture is a combination of how the poster looks during the day and during the night, and reveals the concept and the way it was printed, while the next three photos show how the poster looks by day and how it looks by night. The next photos are a detail of the special inks used.
It's silkscreen printed, strictly limited to 70 copies in total, some versions with a special, custom made sparkling black ink, and some versions with metallic purple ink, while all versions have the amazing phosphorescent ink. Depending on the version, the printing surface was either Munken Polar 240 gr., or recycled paper 240 gr., or transparent sticker, or white sticker or transparent PVC or White PVC, 0.3mm.
All versions measure 50x70 cm.
It was printed by Tind (www.tind.gr)

The Chicago Regional Transportation Authority is offering customers a prepaid Mastercard to purchase transit fares to reduce customer commuting costs and add greater flexibility.
The new RTA Transit Benefit Prepaid MasterCard can be loaded with pre-tax deductions from customers' paychecks. By using pre-tax dollars, riders save as much as 40% off their commuting costs each year. The new contactless, reloadable prepaid card can be used to purchase transit fares on CTA, Pace, Metra, South Shore, Amtrak and Chicago Water Taxi.
The card features MasterCard contactless technology, which enables customers to tap and go at Ventra Readers to ride CTA and Pace. Customers can also use it to purchase fares at sales windows, ticket vending machines and online purchases.
Because the card is loaded with pre-tax funds, it can only be used for the purchase of transit fares at qualified transit agencies that accept Debit MasterCard.
The new RTA Transit Benefit MasterCard debuted in October. Besides the tax savings to employees, employers also receive tax deductions by offering transit benefits. On average, an employer can save up to 10% in reduced payroll tax savings.
Last year, the RTA sold $42 million in transit fare media, saving them more than $16 million in taxes and giving their employers $3.4 million in tax deductions.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

I have lived in Chicago for 10 years after moving from the east coast and absolutely love the city. I am an actor and musician who works here in the city and regionally, allowing me to travel quite frequently. I have a penchant for vintage, so you will find the apartment full of character. A foodie- you will find I am quite versed in local restaurants and am happy to share my knowledge. When not working, I try to travel abroad-- Berlin, Chile, Istanbul being some of my favorite destinations.
I have been hosting now for two years and couldn't have had better experiences each and every time. It has been a true pleasure, and I look forward to meeting you should you book my place!

DOD is asked to aid semiconductor firms.
Historically, the United States has beenthe world technological leader in advanced semiconductors. In recent years, however, U.S. semiconductor manufacturers have been losing that lead. Their slowed growth and loss of sales, principally to the Japanese, have hurt not only their financial health, but also the vitality of their research enterprise--a trend that poses a large and growing threat to national security, according to a new Department of Defense (DOD) study.
Says Charles A. Fowler, chairman of theDefense Science Board, which prepared the report, the waning U.S. leadership in semiconductor technology is so serious "that at some time in the future [it] may be looked upon in retrospect as a turning point in the history of our nation.'
To help U.S. semiconductor manufacturersregain leadership in chip manufacturing and maintain leadership in chip design, the Defense Science Board recommends that DOD pump hundreds of millions of dollars more into semiconductor research, development and especially manufacturing.
The United States' ability to field technologicallysuperior weapons has become increasingly "dependent upon superior electronics,' says the report. DOD has relied upon this technological superiority in its weapons to counter the numerical advantage--in weapons and troops-- of its adversaries. At this point, however, the most advanced defense systems-- those about to be deployed--may contain "up to several tens of percent' of computer chips that were made, packaged or tested in foreign countries, the Defense Science Board finds.
As a result, the report concludes that"if steps are not now taken to assure the availability of domestic sources or stockpiles, or both, the United States could be denied timely access to these militarily critical devices in wartime or [be] forced to rely upon technologically and operationally inferior alternatives.' Moreover, the report notes, when the source of superior chips is overseas, the United States has little ultimate control in preventing their acquisition by the Soviets. That acquisition could directly threaten U.S. technological superiority in weaponry.
The board recommends that DODestablish a cooperative industry-DOD Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Institute (Semitech). It would not only develop, demonstrate and advance the technology needed for efficient, high-production output of state-of-the-art devices, but also provide facilities to actually produce selected devices that DOD most needs. The board estimates that Semitech could be launched with about $250 million from the industry and with DOD support of about $200 million per year for five years.
The board also suggests that DODspend $50 million annually to set up eight centers of excellence in semiconductor science and engineering at universities; increase its other investments in semiconductors by $300 million a year, within four years; and set up a government-industry-university forum to assess how each sector might cooperate in meeting DOD's developing needs.
Both the Cupertino, Calif.-based SemiconductorIndustries Association and the Semiconductor Research Corp., a 35-company research consortium headquartered in Research Triangle Park, N.C., have come out in favor of the report's general findings and recommendations. DOD's only reaction has been to say it "is currently reviewing the [report's] conclusions and its recommendations and investigating technical as well as funding alternatives.'

How to propagate Cuttings with a potato
I'm doing some cuttings now and I live in West Texas. It's my first time doing it this way but it seems to be working because I'm starting to see new buds on the cutting. I took the cuttings and bore a hole in a potato which started to have roots. The hole I bore on the potato was a bit smaller than the cutting so it is going to be a very snug fit which is good. Then I took the cutting and pushed it into the potato. They say you're supposed to use root hormone but I didn't to see if it works without it. Then you take the potato with the cutting and bury it in good potting soil so that only the potato is covered leaving the cutting exposed. Water well, and cover with a gallon milk jug with the bottom cut off to allow for air and to keep the humidity high near the cutting. "screw" the gallon unto the dirt. Your new cutting should be ready to dig up and plant in Spring. Good-luck!!!!
Sincerely and respectfully,
Nancy aka sunshine98
You do know that you will be growing Potato plants with your roses don't you unless you peeled off all of the eyes. I used worm castings that I had from feeding worms in a worm bin leftovers once and ended up with a bunch of tomato plants along with the roses. Be careful what you wish for.
Well, I for one am really curious to hear how this experient works out. Having lived in west Texas before, and knowing how hard it is to keep young plants well hydrated in the winds, I think there might be some merit to the potato method. I had heard of doing this slightly differently though:
The old method I have read of but never tried, instructs you to cut a wedge of potato (it didnt mention the eyes, but removing them sounds smart), and slice about halfway through it as if you were going to cut it up into chunks. Slip your rose cutting in to this slice, seating the rose cutting well into the potato body. Water it well, and plant it into a pot of good soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, so the potato won't rot.

So I was just thinking about a Team Comp to run with and just wanted to get people's thoughts on it.
Top: Gankplank
Mid: Karthus
Bot: Ezrael/Sona
Jungle: Amumu
Let me know.
Puritys Disciple
Usually a strategy has some thought put around it, not a dice roll of champions selected from standard meta positions.
If you want feedback, you might want to elaborate what exactly this team comp is supposed to be good/bad at and why.
Great Pyrenees
Well if you want a movespeed theory craft then why not use the team Mosckow 5 used last year?
Miss Fortune
Lee sin
Try to outrun this team, its not going to happen ever.
Sorry, I figured it would be evaluated based upon known knowledge of how each champion contributes to a game... so I suppose I'll explain.
Gankplank has his global ult, and is all around decent harass and chaser.
Karthus has his global ult which is good at forcing the enemy team to stay cautious as well as kill any one trying to flee.
Ezrael has his global ult as well, which is another good way to kill fleeing enemies as well as other utilities.
Sona has an AoE stun is an all around solid support that can take a decent beating and dish out a bit of damage as well as buffing her allies quite a bit.
Amumu has a great initiate and is quite tanky with AoE dmg and CC all around as well as a single target stun/initiate.
Why I was thinking about this team is this team has increadibly high map control as well as a massive teamfight presence.
Picture this: Amumu bandages in to the middle of the enemy team and uses his ult. Gangplank uses his ult right on top of him, and Karthus comes in with his AoE. Ezrael, can use his ult possibly or save it. When Amumu's ult ends, Sona can use her AoE stun to continue keeping the enemy team suppressed while primarily ez and karthus destroy them.
Once the enemy team finally gets out of all this CC, they're at an incredible disadvantage and will most likely run, which will then allow karthus to use his ult and finish off one or two people, and ez to use his ult now if he chooses, and gangplank can also chase someone down who just wasn't quite dead.
If they do choose to fight, then you'll finish them off pretty quickly, cause despite the massive dmg you just did to them while they were CCed, you can still do more.
Furthermore, with the massive map presence that ez, gangplank, and karthus bring, if a lane is getting pushed, gangplank and ez can stop it without even being there and Karthus can stop someone tower diving trying to backdoor (as they'll most likely be at really low health trying to tank the turret themselves), or just force someone to recall due to low health after his ult in general.
Well you did say a team comp "to run with" lol so I was only trying to help =P. That team comp is fine but the real question is will it work against X enemy team comp. For example
Vlad Top
Morgana Mid
Maokai jungle
Nunu support
Graves ADC
That would be a interesting match to watch wouldnt it?
Or how about against
Shen Top
TF Mid
Shaco Jungle
Kogma ADC
Soraka Support
Global verses Global right?
Or how would it do against this?
Malz Top
Morg Mid
Warwick Jungle
Leona support
Tristana Support
Imagine all of that suppression it would be a fantastic battle!
No I gave very specific meta responses to your post. I was glad to help as one of my strengths in any game is researching. I assure you if I was on the enemy team I would pick the appropriate meta theme to combat that comp. I have a lot of good comp ideas. If you would tell me what you think of those three comps? Do you think only professional teams can counter? I like you and this topic a lot and look forward to your detailed response =)
Just finished up an awesome game. A Yorick was top, with Jax jungle. We had a Kayle-Twitch bot lane, and I was midlane Zilean. Yorick, Kayle and I, every fight, would blow everything on Jax. He was invenurable, would revive with 2000 health when they drop him, then come back full again if they drop him a second time. Oh, and there was a clone of him wailing on them the whole time. It was brutal to watch.
Well that, and I'm a sucker for good 'ol fashioned poke comps.

About 18 months later, the result is GlobWorld (Globworld.com), a 3-D environment where kids ages 6 to 12 are represented by puffy cartoon "globs." Membership is free (though kids can buy certain decorations for nominal sums), and users can set up profiles and play games, stream music, or chat with or send messages to parent-approved buddies or Mom or Dad, since each account requires a parent-and-child pair.
Contacts are limited to a child's relatives and real-life pals. But because friends can sometimes turn into bullies, the site also uses a patent-pending technology to sniff out suspicious exchanges (for example, a rapid-fire bombardment of messages to a single address). If necessary, a human moderator will pass any incriminating words straight to the parents of the kids involved. "That makes it hard to say 'My kid wouldn't do that,'" Nachlas notes wryly.
This past October, for National Bullying Prevention Month, the site produced and distributed to schools nationwide a PSA in which a cartoon newscaster with Jersey Shore hair breaks the news that "bullying is a thing of the past." Some 13,000 trading cards featuring GlobWorld characters on one side and bullying factoids on the other were also distributed to schools across the country. "Teachers said the kids talked about them all day," Nachlas says.
Today Nachlas is part of a team that's helping to draft an anti-bullying measure for the Florida legislature, and she anticipates testifying about bullying before state legislators in Tallahassee this year. GlobWorld has also partnered up with PACER, an organization for kids with disabilities that does a lot of anti-bullying work, and with the British group @BeatBullying. "They don't just have anti-bullying programs in the classrooms, they incorporate them into sports and music programs, too," she says. "Hopefully, we can bring a little bit of that here, and bring some of what we're doing over there." And Nachlas adds that her efforts are only just beginning: "My work in the legal field is my job, but GlobWorld is my passion."
