Buster Olney: Chicago Cubs
Ranking strength of early NL schedules
In following Tuesday's column ranking the American League's early-season schedules, Wednesday we have the National League. The teams are ranked toughest to easiest in caliber of early-season schedule.
Games vs. teams with records of .500 or better in 2013: 31 of first 40.
Home/away: 18 of their first 40 are at home.
Notables: The Cubs basically get to run an NL Central gauntlet in the first quarter of the season, with 21 of their first 40 games against the Cardinals, Reds and Pirates.

Renteria is the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, bearing a reputation for having a personality that pushes players. "His personality is a big driver," said Josh Byrnes, general manager of the San Diego Padres, for whom Renteria worked as a coach before being hired by Chicago. "He's definitely got an infectious personality."
But Renteria's ability to speak two languages fluently has been viewed by potential employers as a major attribute, and he is thought to be especially good at connecting with young players, partly because of his understanding of language.
"The best managers connect to all players," Byrnes said.

Boston being unfair to Torey Lovullo
Torre was an excellent player, with 2,342 hits, nine All-Star appearances and an MVP Award, but his 12 seasons as manager of the Yankees push his candidacy over the top: He was the on-field leader of baseball's last dynasty, with the Yankees accumulating four championships and five World Series appearances in the span of six years. He was the perfect personality to manage a near-perfect roster, and the success of those teams, in the post-free-agency era that began in 1976, is unparalleled.
Torre is an important part of the Yankees' history, which is why the time will come, after he is celebrated in Cooperstown, that No. 6 will be retired in Torre's honor, with all of the attending pomp and circumstance.
Because it's the right thing to do, no matter the strain that occurred as Torre left the organization. There are personal relationships that were damaged along the way, and most or all will never be repaired because of what was done and said when he departed and because of what is contained within the pages of Torre's book. The split was ugly, unquestionably.
But like two divorced parents who do right by their children, the Yankees and Torre have chosen to set their differences aside when it comes to the treatment of their shared history. Torre has not boycotted Yankee Stadium, nor turned his back on the Yankees' organization; the Yankees never exiled Torre.
When the Yankees honored Mariano Rivera at the end of the season, Torre was part of the ceremony, and introduced in the same way that Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, Jorge Posada and others were introduced. There was no hint of bitterness.
Which was the right thing to do. Because they all understand that what they accomplished together belongs to the ages, to fans, and should never be overshadowed by lingering personal feuds and disputes.
The Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 1918 and did not win another for the next 85 years. But finally, in 2004, they won again, with a memorable group of players that Johnny Damon dubbed as the "Idiots." The general manager of that team was Theo Epstein, and three years later, with Epstein serving as GM, they won again. Two championships in four years, transformative success for the Red Sox -- success shared by John Henry, Tom Werner, Larry Lucchino, Epstein, Terry Francona, the staff and the players.

This is why scouts have always said that Dusty's teams have played hard for him.
But the Reds' front office clearly wanted more than that, which is why Baker was fired. Cincinnati's major league roster was steeped with talent this year, from its deep rotation to the presence of two on-base machines in Shin-Soo Choo and Joey Votto to the dominance of closer Aroldis Chapman. Club executives believed the team had the potential for a championship and instead it was bounced quickly from the postseason, fading down the stretch before playing just one playoff game.

With that defeat, the Mets moved back into position to have the No. 10 pick in the 2014 draft -- and if this holds over the last two days of the regular season against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Mets' first-round pick would be among those 10 that are protected against draft-pick compensation.
This past winter, the Mets' pick was not protected, which affected their aggressiveness in trying to sign Michael Bourn and others. If they finish the year lined up for the No. 10 pick (or better), it could nudge them into pursuit of one of the better free-agent position players who will be available this winter. If they signed a Shin-Soo Choo or a Jacoby Ellsbury, the Mets would have to surrender only a second-round pick in compensation.

Gold Glove winners, by the numbers
1. Some voters are devoted to turning in the best ballot possible, and will give lots of time and lots of thought to the process before picking their winners.
2. Some voters just want to get it over with and will pick out the first decent name that pops into their heads.
So, in other words, the Gold Glove voters are like the rest of the electorate in this fine democratic society.
Every week, I get an email from Mark Simon of ESPN Stats & Information noting the results of a conference call specifically held to talk about defensive metrics. He's all over this kind of stuff, so I asked him to give me a pure statistical evaluation of who he thinks should be the Gold Glovers at each position, in each league.

"'I was told in spring training by my catching instructor that this is something I need to do,'" the evaluator said, imitating the words that any catcher could say. "'I didn't block home one day and he called me a -----, and he said that blocking home plate is something that every catcher is expected to do.'"
The evaluator jumped into another role, imagining himself as the catcher's lawyer: "'What happened next?'"
Evaluator as catcher: "'I blocked home plate, as I was instructed to do, and now I can't walk.'"
This testimony could be especially effective, the evaluator noted, if it comes from someone sitting in a wheelchair, and if you think that can't happen, maybe you should watch this video of the hit that Harrisburg catcher Brian Jeroloman took in a Double-A playoff game the other night, when he was run over by Erie's Brandon Douglas.

But everybody saw that coming. There may also be only 33 games remaining in Robinson Cano's tenure with the Yankees if he leaves as a free agent when the season is over. He is their best player and they need him, and yet in recent years, teams have held the line with their own superstars -- for instance, the Cardinals with Albert Pujols and the Rangers with Josh Hamilton -- and those choices have been quickly vindicated.
The Yankees have their own experience in deciding whether to invest in a long-term star (Alex Rodriguez), and that hasn't turned out so well.
Cano is represented by Jay-Z and CAA, and the expectation among executives is that they will be looking to plant a flag with their contract -- something in the A-Rod/Pujols neighborhood.
But a big question that has come up among some rival officials is this: What teams will compete against the Yankees to sign him to create that leverage?

This is a crazy game. If you had told me when I was growing up that I'd have at least six seasons of time in major league baseball, I'd have been absolutely ecstatic. While it was always a dream of mine to play, it also always seemed so far out of reach. Yet, here I am, blessed with so many things in my life, including a career that I truly enjoy. There are many other things, too: an amazing family (including the two friendliest dogs in existence), financial security and good health.
Good health -- something I'm thankful for every day. Something that not everyone in this life shares.
One of the most respected people in this game is in the fight of his life, and anyone -- everyone -- who has any part of this game is pulling for him. Players, coaches, general managers, owners, writers, umpires. Everyone.
As many of you know, Michael Weiner is currently serving as the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association -- our union. And anyone who follows the game also knows that a year ago, Michael was diagnosed with a Stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive and inoperable brain cancer.
I've been a player representative for the union since the start of the 2009 season. In the middle of that season, I got a phone call from Donald Fehr, informing me that he was retiring as executive director. After a few conference calls, we selected the obvious replacement that December: Michael Weiner. I hadn't yet met Michael. My agent, Rob Martin, had met him a few times and heard him speak a couple of times, so I asked what he was like. "The man is a human computer," he said. "He can probably quote you the entire basic agreement."
In my time getting to know Michael at various union events or even through casual phone calls, I can honestly say I have seen zero instances to dispute my agent's assessment. However, I can also honestly say that while his knowledge of the basic agreement and labor law in general is impressive, it isn't even close to his best asset.
His best feature is, far and away, who he is as a person. He's a devoted family man. He often speaks of his wife, Diane, and his three lovely daughters, and you can tell how much he cares for them. Furthermore, he genuinely cares about every single ballplayer. Never once has he started a conversation with me in which the first topic wasn't about how my family and I were doing. I'm guessing he's the same way with every other player. Those who've taken the time to get to know him know exactly what I'm talking about.
In my opinion, never has this been more evident than when dealing with our Joint Drug Agreement. Michael has listened to the players. We want the game clean. No more PEDs. Period. We want to be the era that, down the road, is widely accepted as the group of players who cleaned up baseball. We certainly want to punish those who are caught with something illegal in their system, even if it's not intentionally ingested with the mindset of gaining an edge on the field.
As for those who intentionally cheat? Ban them for a year. Or ban them for life. As for voiding their contracts, well, that time may be coming. Players are sick and tired of guys trying to beat the system, and at this point, we have no tolerance. We are tired of this being the focus of our sport, year after year. Baseball is an amazing game -- perfect in so many ways -- and we must keep the attention on the field, where it should be.
It has to be a tough spot for Michael to be in when it comes to this topic. He's supposed to represent all players and get the best possible outcome for them in every situation, right? No. Michael's response: "If they cheated, they should be punished -- I'm just here to help make sure they get a fair trial."
To me, that is someone who genuinely cares about our game and the way it's perceived publicly. We all leave a legacy in life, and he wants the game to be better when his time in the game is over than it was when he first got involved.
I recently had a casual conversation with an MLB general manager. We discussed Michael's medical situation, and he said something that really stuck out to me: "That guy is incredible. He's the best thing that's ever happened to this game."
And even if he said it in passing, I'm not sure he's far off.
Michael's legacy on this game has already been established. And whether he continues to build on it for the next 40 years, or if he's taken from this life sometime sooner, he continues to leave a mark on this game -- and on people's lives -- that won't ever be forgotten. It is an absolute privilege to work alongside you, Michael. And it's an even greater pleasure to call you my friend.
Notes and links (from Buster)
• Hanley Ramirez will try out his right shoulder on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Dodgers never lose: After Zack Greinke's strong effort Saturday, they've now won 36 of their last 44. The Rays pulled off a hidden-ball trick.
• The Braves' winning streak ended.
Jordan Schafer was activated from the disabled list, and Fredi Gonzalez intends to use him.
We had the Braves on "Sunday Night Baseball" the last two weekends, and our crew talked to Gonzalez about how he would structure his lineup down the stretch and into the playoffs. Gonzalez wasn't specific -- and he doesn't need to be -- but I walked away from those conversations convinced that his standards will be simple. He will play the best lineup he believes gives him the best chance of winning, regardless of contract size and track record. He reiterated that the Braves' collapse in 2011 changed the way he thinks, because now he's much more willing to make changes.
If B.J. Upton struggles early in September, he won't play as much in late September, I'd guess, and Schafer's presence gives Gonzalez an attractive alternative, especially against right-handed pitchers.
Brian McCann has a sore knee and was out of the lineup. The Braves' lead in the AL East gives Gonzalez the flexibility to liberally rest veterans such as McCann, and McCann has shown enough this season to demonstrate to teams that might be interested in him in the winter that he'll continue to be a productive player. He might be the most sought-after free agent of the winter, given that he could fit so many teams: Texas, Washington, the Yankees, Boston, San Francisco (with he and Buster Posey sharing catcher/first base duties), Philadelphia, the White Sox, etc.
• Miguel Cabrera did it again. His current triple crown standing:
Batting average: .363 (first, by 33 points)
Home runs: 35 (he trails Chris Davis, who has 42)
RBIs: 109 (tied for first with Davis)
• White Sox GM Rick Hahn and the players believe in Robin Ventura, writes Paul Sullivan.
• Ryan Ludwick is nearing his return, and undoubtedly, the Reds need him to come back and produce. The Reds have been a middle-of-the-pack offensive team since the All-Star break.
• Jason Hammel is hopeful that his forearm issue doesn't keep him out a long time.
• Ryan Raburn and Yan Gomes are getting more playing time, Paul Hoynes writes.
• The Rangers regained first place with help from Alex Rios.
• Will Middlebrooks is getting a welcome chance to reboot, writes Nick Cafardo.
• Jayson Werth had a really big day.
• The Astros are on pace to finish 52-110, with a run differential of minus-242.
• Jacoby Ellsbury led the Red Sox to victory.
• The Rockies are collapsing, and it's open season on internal evaluations.
• Adam Eaton has been finding his groove at the plate.
• The Phillies need to make a decision on Charlie Manuel, writes Bob Brookover.
In some parts of the Philadelphia organization, it's already taken as a fait accompli that Manuel and some staffers will be let go. But it'll be interesting to see if the logic used in the re-signing of Chase Utley -- he's an important part of the team's history, and he is still productive -- will be used in Manuel's case. Because if the Phillies don't believe Manuel is the best person for the job now, they should've already fired him, and if they think that like Utley, he can still do the job, they should extend him.
Other stuff
• There is a reported BALCO and Biogenesis link: Alex Rodriguez.
The tide has turned when it comes to MLB cheats, writes Tom Haudricourt.
Rodriguez is on a short leash with Yankees fans, writes Bob Klapisch.
• The ousted St. Louis radio duo of Jack Clark and Kevin Slaten are weighing their options.
• Ken Griffey Jr. was part of the ceremony in which he was inducted into the Mariners' Hall of Fame. He's a really complicated person.
And today will be better than yesterday.
Rodriguez was indignant, he was resolute, he hinted at conspiracy, and above all, he professed his love for baseball, which apparently is the thing you're supposed to say after you trample all over the sport. The problem for Rodriguez is that everybody has seen the act before, including commissioner Bud Selig, who is said to be very comfortable now in the role of a steroid-fighting Wyatt Earp.
Once extremely tentative in his steps toward the high ground years ago, Selig figured out before the commissioners of the other major sports that when you're running a multibillion-dollar industry, spending tens of millions in a hyper-aggressive effort to keep your sport clean is like buying pest control for your house: It's worth the investment.
Baseball officials were appalled and angered by Braun's performance at that news conference, the brazenness of the lies. And so Rodriguez, with his knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, said the wrong thing at the wrong time. Selig isn't negotiating anymore, believing that he has the evidence to take down Rodriguez. Perhaps by Saturday night, Rodriguez fully realized how deeply he has buried himself in this mess because he declined to comment.
That won't last, of course, because Rodriguez can never really help himself for long.

This means that the John Hancock of all waiver claimers, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman -- a founding father of a new culture that developed around waiver claims in the late '90s, along with former New York Mets GM Steve Phillips -- will have a chance to block all three teams that sit above New York in the AL East standings.
The Cleveland Indians will have a chance to decide whether the Detroit Tigers get a shot at anybody.
The Cincinnati Reds can stop the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates from making moves.
For at least the next 31 days, being out of first place can be a position of power.
This is the way waivers work, generally: As teams place players on waivers this month -- and almost every player goes through, as a matter of process -- teams have an opportunity to place a claim on each player. If a player is claimed by multiple teams, then the clubs with the worst record gets the claim. The Houston Astros will get first shot at everybody, and as of today, the Pirates -- with the best record in the majors -- get the last shot.

Jake Peavy is the No. 1 starting pitcher on the market now because while the Phillies are open to listening to offers for Cliff Lee, and the Royals will take your phone call about Ervin Santana, nobody is sure whether Lee or Santana will actually be traded. In Peavy's case, rival executives are confident that the 32-year-old fastball slinger is going to get moved before 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
But it's in keeping with the recent luck of the White Sox that they are dealing a veteran player at the worst possible time to be marketing someone like Peavy, who is under contract through 2014 with a vesting option for 2015.
What the White Sox have indicated to other teams is that they want major league ready pitching in return for Peavy, which, in 2013, is like saying to other folks on a sinking ship that you want to acquire their lifeboat. Teams are not nearly as willing to part with that sort of commodity as they used to be.
Here are most of the teams involved in the Peavy trade talks:

• He has a .287 on-base percentage.
• He's limited in the positions he can play, either left field or DH, on a team that already has too many players whose best position might be DH.
• In some respects, he's not really all that different from Vernon Wells, and the Yankees will face a logjam of DH/OF types almost immediately, after Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Derek Jeter come back. (Given that they'll probably want to use the DH spot for A-Rod and Jeter.)
• His presence may box them in next spring (although Rodriguez will probably face some sort of suspension at the outset of 2014, whatever the length turns out to be.)
Here's the reason it makes sense:
• Since June 28, Soriano has 10 homers; since June 28, the Yankees have eight.

Boston is in an enviable position, holding the best record in the American League (59-40). But those two figures in the rearview mirror, the on-rushing Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, appear larger by the day, and the cold reality is that the Red Sox have absolutely no idea what they're going to get out of the two starting pitchers that began the season as their No. 1 and No. 2 guys.
Clay Buchholz's return from some sort of shoulder/neck issue has been delayed repeatedly. Maybe he'll come back in the next few weeks and be as good as he was in the first two months -- or maybe he'll be something much less than that. Rob Bradford writes that he's going to see Dr. James Andrews.
Jon Lester had a 7.62 ERA in June and ranged from good to much worse in his first three outings of July, and then was scratched from his start Sunday night. The Red Sox say they're looking to get him some extra rest, but as Lester played catch Saturday, he was accompanied by an athletic trainer, which suggests that perhaps there's more to his situation than simple first-half weariness.

Reliever Heathcliff Slocumb had a 4.13 ERA for the Mariners after joining them in a deadline deal -- after Seattle surrendered Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe for him, in what turned out to be one of the most one-sided swaps in history.
Bullpen investments are frightening for general managers. In an era in which a six-inning outing is considered good work by a starting pitcher, there are almost always outs to be accounted for at the back end of each game, and no good team wins without good work from its relievers. You have to have it.
But most relievers work like tides, with their flows and ebbs, and teams will try to catch them when they're on the rise.

Film in review – "Son of God"
As a practicing believer, I think every Christian should see this film. There. I've said it. I'm a shameless shill for this movie, because as a pulpit preacher with a limited audience, I think this has the opportunity to reach so many more people than we ministers ever could on Sunday mornings. Now, as an ordained PC(USA) clergyperson, and a lifelong student of the Bible, I'm aware that the editorial decisions here are legion. This movie does not attempt to do something as literal as follow one Gospel all the way through. The filmmakers pick and choose Gospel narratives, and sometimes conflate, and other times just make it up. But it's unabashedly from the point of view of a believer, and unreservedly "preaches" Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. So, it should be enthusiastically embraced by churches despite its flaws. Yes, if they were going to tell it from the perspective of the Apostle John, looking back on events from his solitary perch on the Island of Patmos, it … [Read more...]

text: Rockfield Road A blend of northern grasses fields a forest of homestead trees; the saplings, long overcome by maturity, bear witness to the prayer of Native sons; to give back what you take from Mother Earth. In the midst of this green-crowned bark, a sacrificial altar of oak remains; its once tall spine gives strength to the walls that house my children. a beauty lost to hearth from need. One over-populated crab apple, draws deer at dusk and dawn. Thank God for a pre-set Mr Coffee, and a strangulated teapot for morning routines, worked in first light,cease, as the four-legged creatures near. I smile, as the collective intake of breath is held and released without accompanying speech. Breaking the moment to be on time for artificial satisfaction, is not the legacy I choose to leave my children.

One model fits all? Determinants of transport costs across sectors and country groups
We show with the aid of pooled OLS estimations that investments in improved road infrastructure have the potential to signi cantly reduce transport costs. However, this result can only be clearly con rmed for industrial countries and is of primary importance for production and transportation of agricultural goods. For developing and transition countries we fi nd other determinants such as weather conditions to be more important in determining transport costs. A key variable, especially in these countries, is corruption. At very high levels corruption has the potential to prevent positive effects from roads on transport costs or to even reverse them. This paper contributes to the literature on infrastructure investment by introducing and applying an internationally comparable measure of transport costs which can be calculated for a large and growing number of countries. We isolate important determinants of transport costs and provide insights into international and sectoral differences concerning the impact of roads on transport costs. We conclude that investment in transport infrastructure can have substantial positive effects especially on agricultural production and the efficient marketing of agricultural products but only if speci c conditions are in place. --Download Info

So, you're just back from Europe with the amazing men of Strike Anywhere…
ALEX: It ruled! Yeah seriously it was good times Strike Anywhere is a really great band so we were really happy to go over there with them, their really good friends of ours so it was just the best time ever
First time out there?
A: Yeah it was all of our first times in Europe, we got to see the sites, we got to go late at night lots of times like three in morning in the Coliseum
RICHARD: In Europe people are extremely nice! Yeah Germany everyone, everyone was really nice to us we didn't expect everyone to be that nice, but they were!
A: They take really good care of the bands as in feeding everyone every night, making sure we always had a place to stay and stuff, it was really great.
R: Oh yeah we got stuffed every night with cheeses, spreads and crazy bread, it was awesome!
Freshly signed to AF Records in 2003, proud to be a part of and on a label that has such a viable voice in music industry right now?
R: Yeah and I mean it's almost kind of strange too because we're not used to the… Like they have a very political background and we have more of a socially conscious background.
A: It's political stuff but in a more personal kind of way, so it's a little bit different but it's definitely good to get our records out and people will have a chance to see us and hear us now so it's really great, I feel it's a good step.
You guys recorded at Rec Room Recording in FL did you want to stay close to home while recording?
R: Actually we were supposed to do it where was it, Baltimore?
A: Yeah it was in Baltimore DC with J Robbins but he had another thing come up and was like 'sorry' he couldn't do it anymore. We had a friend who recorded at the Rec Room and we were like 'hey do you wanna do the record?' he was like 'yeah' and we just went with it. And it came out really good like I really like the way it came out, I love the sound and the guitars and stuff it almost sounds kind of 80's I can say I am really happy with it.
When you guys first released the record did you want to concentrate on touring fulltime or were you worried about concentrating on self promotion, getting news of the new record out there covering indie press, reviews…?
A: We just wanted to play! (laughs) That's what we're all about.
R: And it was a little hard too cause it took a little while for the CD's to get out there and there still not out as much as we'd like but it's so hard, we understand.
A: people don't know that much about us yet.
R: Yeah we're still fresh.
A: I think we could only go up from here.
And what's your biggest 80's influence cause like you said it definitely comes out in your music?
A: Man, it's a lot of bands like Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Brains, The Adolescents, Black Flag that sort of stuff we're all about it…
There's always certain words repeated or seen through a record, for you guys I definitely saw lots of references to vultures, I'm sure you're not just simply referring to it as a bird…
A: No, it's more about… Like if you see the picture of the building on the front of our record it's actually a court house and there's really this problem where vultures just constantly surround the court house and it kind of seemed weird and symbolic to us so we went with it, like the theme of the vulture fucking lawyer type guys…
R: It was even a bad problem you would go outside and just stand under this building you'd see them circling the building all day, it looks really awkward, a court house surrounded by vultures?!
A: So yeah it's symbolic to the kind of fucking assholes who work there.
And public media is also another strong issue you guys cover on the record "Fuck The Oscars" & "Fun Box" really pressing how not enough people are aware or educated on the ways media transmits it's messages for population control.
A: I think a lot more people should be more aware.
R: Especially in the U.S though, compared to Europe even, they bullshit so much in the U.S compared to Europe. Even in Canada we noticed just billboards and stuff…
A: Canada seems a little more clean-cut here compared to America you know the supposed 'land of the free' where there's a lot more freedoms over in Europe for individual people and you can just do more shit and people are more respectful to each other. But you see that people are definitely more free over there and then you hear fucking 'oh America the land of the free' and all that shit and it was really weird to be out there and to get the full grasp of it.
And to 'Ride The Crest' something NMDS will always fight against
A: Of course, that song is about conformity just to make it for yourself. That's our thing just be yourself and make that your thing. Other people can dictate what you're going to fucking do and what you're going to dress like and how you're going to act….
R: It's almost our anthem for our style of living, don't follow everyone, don't dress like everyone, do what you want, do what's comfortable, dress comfortable. If you wanna wear pants that squeeze your balls out of your ass well that's fine too it doesn't matter but be yourself, don't do it because you feel like you have to.
A: And I mean you notice that lots, in kind of the punk scene itself for a lot of people there's just kind of a lot of hype, people decide what's cool and it's kind of sad, deciding the 'coolest' type of music right now or deciding it's 'in' to play eighties ripcore. We just do it because we like it.
Has it ever been hard for you guys to write a song with a certain political subject and incorporate all of the bands opinions to get everyone to agree on, it's final message?
R: It is kind of hard sometimes because… I mean we're not so much into politics like others, I guess it's almost like we're neighborhood kids who just want to play music and it's hard for us sometimes to have political views that are really insane and get it off, we kind of let other bands do it cause they just do it better I think…
A: I feel there's more personal stuff about it and I think less bands touch on it, a different angle in a way.
Would you like to achieve anything new with this record compared to other releases?
A: We definitely did, when we went in to make it, it was more of a 'okay we're making a full length and we want it to be a certain way' where as our first full length was kind on like 'okay well we have some songs lets go record' it wasn't like that was going to be an album that was going to be out, it was just lets do this we got some new shit. But this was 'were making a record and we wanted it to be a certain way' and we sort of mapped it out before recording it.
With burning now, would you prefer your fans go out and find one of your records in a store or would you prefer for them to come out to your show, buy the ticket and see you live?
A: I don't care as long as they give us some fucking props (laughs) seriously though you can burn it if you want yeah whatever but if you come out and watch us than that's awesome.
R: It means more to us if we see a kid out singing one of our songs than buying our CD.
A: That's the thing, a couple of places in Europe we would notice some kids signing our songs, like what? I'm in fucking Europe, that's insane, we're thousands of miles away from home and it just seemed like the craziest thing ever to us, it was the best ever and yeah I would totally rather people come out to our shows.
R: It's not like we're used to selling a bunch of records so, even if we have any amount of records sales then that's cool, we sold some records!
A: That's awesome, we sold some records! We're really laid back about that shit. (laughs)
You're all kind of new to the full-time touring schedule, have any of you felt your sanity fly out the van window yet?
A: You know even the States is a lot easier than being in Europe to tell you the honest truth cause there was a little bit of culture shock over there that was kind of stressful cause you're in certain places and you just can't talk to that many people. A lot of shit was out of our hands over there, you know in the sense we weren't in charge of things, like we had no control over it. We were trying to go along and really just fucking not die, there were some scary times but it was awesome!
So what's it like touring with your boss sort of? (laughs)
R: I don't know it's kind of weird, I mean I never really think of him as our boss, we think of him more as our peers and the other bands on this bill, it's just insane to us really cause they're all just awesome, Against Me, None More Black and Rise Against all incredible bands by themselves and it's really cool to be on tour with other Floridians; Against Me! It's just a lot more comfortable.
A: I wouldn't say it's uncomfortable to be on tour with them at all, I mean we're cool to each other! (laughs). It's just been really laid back, this is actually the first time we meet him too, so yeah that was a little bit weird.
(Chris #2 from Anti-Flag interrupts)
CHRIS #2: So what are you guys doing?
A: An interview…
CHRIS #2: Good, you'd better grill 'em!
What's been one of the biggest choices you guys have faced together as a band?
R: Well, oh man!
A: I don't know, you see that comes back to our more laid back kind of ways where we're just like 'alright, okay let's do it!'
R: We never look at anything like a real big decision.
A: Well I guess signing! Yeah going to AF was kind of our biggest decision. Yeah, just cause we were like 'okay do we really want to do this?' yeah that was a big thing.
R: Even if it's still a really awesome label you still have to sign.
A: Yeah it's a commitment, it's a good thing we're all serious and good enough friends that we all have the same goals in mind when we started this band which is really awesome, we all get along really well.
Do you guys think it's harder to name a song? Or an entire record, your new release is self-titled too.
A: Oh yeah it's just always such a big decision.
R: Oh yeah that's cause we really couldn't think of anything and this was our first real big step too.
A: Not only that it was our first record we felt that we just needed to start by getting our name out and maybe you'll hear it twice makes it even better. (laughs)
Have you ever been to Mexico?
A: No! No we haven't.
What's been if ever, your closets encounter to a disaster?
R: Um our band forming, no just kidding! (laughs)
A: Our van not starting today, we have a lot of problems with broken vans and stuff, certainly not rich guys so we're struggling along with a little bit of credit card debt right now, a broken ass 92' van, seriously. (laughs)
What's the newest thing you bought?
A: I bought a pedal.
R: I got some strings.
A: Oh yeah we're splurging on strings! You know.
R: Definitely a band that never strived to have amazing equipment but did well with what we had.
A: Yeah we're adequate, our shit's just a little busted up but it works most of the time. (laughs)

Moghul Indian Cuisine
- Details
- Published on Friday, 18 February 2011 15:24
- Written by Scott Joseph
Well, what a nice thing to have happen to a Krystal burger shop. It's been turned into a pleasant little Indian restaurant. Oh, don't worry, not every Krystal burgerie is going Indian, just this particular one on Semoran Boulevard between University Boulevard and Aloma Avenue.
That's where you'll now find Moghul Indian Cuisine. On the outside, it still pretty much looks like a basic Krystal, but inside you have to look really close to see and signs that it was once a fast food purveyor. Instead, there is carpeting, low lighting, and tables and booths with burgundy tablecloths and cloth napkins. (There are paper napkins, too, for some reason.)
The word Moghul refers to a member of the Muslim dynasty from Mongol that ruled India until the 19th century. Mughlai cuisine influenced much of what we recognize as typical in most Indian restaurants in America, so you probably won't see much that will be unfamiliar.
Kofta is a typical Muglai dish, and the malai kofta was the best item I sampled at Moghul. Kofta are, simply, meatballs, but this was a vegetarian dish with meatless balls fashioned out of paneer, a housemade cheese. The meatballs, deceptively described on the menu as croquettes, had a firm but giving texture, and the creamy sauce, flavored with cumin, coriander and garma masala, was multilayered with flavors. It was good with the basmati rice but even better with the paneer naan.
Lamb rogan josh featured hefty hunks of meat (yes, it was lamb and not goat -- see my review of India Kitchen for an explanation) in a sauce that must have had dozens of spices, all exploding in the mouth with each bite. The gravy was thick and tempered with yogurt and tomatoes.
The mixed pakora featured vegetable fritters in a chickpea batter, deftly deep-fried to a perfect crispiness. The seasoning in the batter had wonderful peppery notes. I enjoyed the pakora with the holy trinity of chutneys -- onion, mint and tamarind -- served with the complimentary pappadum wafers.
One operational detraction: Moghul employs the annoying habit of asking "mild, medium or hot" for each dish ordered, with no regard to how the dish should traditionally be prepared. Even if you ask the server if the dish is traditionally mild or if it should be spicy you'll be told that it's up to your preference. Well, it's not. Some dishes should be mild, some dishes should be spicy and that's how they should be presented. If the guest wants the kitchen to make a spice adjustment, that's fine, but give the diner at least the option. Ordering the food "medium" resulted in fairly spicy food, so that paper napkin came in handy for mopping my brow.
That said, the service otherwise was lovely, and several people thanked us as we were leaving.
Moghul is at 401 N. Semoran Blvd., Winter Park. It is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday (the lunch menu ends at 3 p.m.). This link will take you to the Moghul Indian Cuisine Web site. The phone number is 407-599-9001.

The first thing to check is whether or not your Blackboard login works on a web browser. When you log in to your school's Blackboard site (e.g., https://blackboard.school.edu) on a web browser, are you able to login successfully there, and then can you access your current classes? If possible, make sure to double check your credentials on the Blackboard site, as some schools have multiple logins for different student services such as a school portal or email.
In general, if you can login to your school's Blackboard site using a web browser, then those exact same credentials should work on the Blackboard Mobile Learn app. If they work on the web site but not on the app, contact our Support Team - please make sure to include the URL of your school's blackboard site where you can login successfully! We will start investigating your issue right away.
If you can't login to your school's Blackboard site using a web browser, then you won't be able to login on the app either. If this is the case, please reach out to your school's IT Help Desk as they can help you with account issues like this. Blackboard Mobile doesn't have access to your login information.
If you need anymore help with this issue, contact our Support Team through your app or Here.

Check out the Development Academy rundown of ten teams to watch in the U18 age group and the preview of the opening weekend.
Albertson SC
Despite the presence of the New York Red Bulls, Albertson manages to do very well for itself from a results and development perspective in the Northeast. While the team lost some good players to its older squad, the likes Conrad Nowowiejski and David Manzanares are returning to form the team's core.
Players to Know: F Stephan Elias, MF Conrad Nowowiejski, D David Manzanares
Chicago Fire
The Fire have made steady progress with its academy and has a strong crop of players at this age group who should also see time with the U18s. Mauricio Pineda, a versatile center back who can also play in the midfield or even up front when necessary, was a consistent presence in the back with 30 appearances last season. Other intriguing players include Rogioberto Rojas and U17 MNT midfielder Christian Fernandez.
Players to Know: MF Collin Fernandez, MF Shannon Seymour, D Mauricio Pineda

With gay, white men and their Godless advocates running the globe, it's only makes sense that a man standing up for traditional values would be taken down by the liberal press:
Gay rights activists in Italy have launched a boycott of the world's leading pasta maker after its chairman said he would only portray the "classic family" in his advertisements and, if people objected to that, they should feel free to eat a different kind of pasta.RELATED: New Jersey judge orders legalization of gay marriage. Christie protests.
Guido Barilla, who controls the fourth-generation Barilla Group family business with his two brothers, sparked outrage among activists, consumers and some politicians when he said he would not consider using a gay family to advertise Barilla pasta.
"For us the concept of the sacred family remains one of the basic values of the company," he told Italian radio on Wednesday evening. "I would not do it but not out of a lack of respect for homosexuals who have the right to do what they want without bothering others … [but] I don't see things like they do and I think the family that we speak to is a classic family."
Asked what effect he thought his attitude would have on gay consumers of pasta, Barilla said: "Well, if they like our pasta and our message they will eat it; if they don't like it and they don't like what we say they will … eat another."
In response, Aurelio Mancuso, chairman of Equality Italia, accused Barilla of being deliberately provocative. "Accepting the invitation of Barilla's owner to not eat his pasta, we are launching a boycott campaign against all his products," he added.
Within hours, the hashtag 'boicotta-barilla' was trending on Twitter. The Barilla chairman issued a statement saying that he was sorry if his remarks had caused offence and that he had only been trying to draw attention to the "central role" played by women within the family.
"I apologise if my words generated misunderstandings or arguments, or if they offended the sensibilities of some people," he said.

| Custom XML for device stage Hi Lately I've connected a Creative Zen V player to my PC and got hit by nice device stage window. Problem is that since Windows 7 is in beta there are very little supported devices in device stage and I would like to add one on my own. Anyone tried to create custom XML file (google says those are the files with device definitions) for a unsupported device on his own? I can't even locate those files on my PC :/ Btw. I'm trying to add my Sony-Ericsson w950i phone. IronHalik |

| Did the behavior and tasks work? Did you make the enhanced feature to work? I have Windows 7 RC. I can make the basic PackageInfo.xml, WindowInfo.xml, DeviceInfo.xml work. However, I cannot make the behavior.xml and tasks.xml work. In other words, if I double click the the device ico in Devices and Printers, no thing happens. If you made it work, what is your metadata package structure? Did you simply use Windows 7 Test mode without signing it? |
