Helicopter Crash Strikes Close To Home For UIHC StaffBy Mark Carlson, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Members of the University of Iowa's AirCare program were shocked when they learned a medical helicopter went down near Mason City Wednesday night, killing all three people on board.
"You don't know whether to cry or throw-up," said Rick Ogren, a flight nurse who heard the news on his drive to work Thursday morning. "Doing the job you know the risks, but this just grabs you." The downed helicopter was based out of Mercy Medical Center North in Mason City. Members of the crew that serve the hospital often make flights to University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics while transporting patients for specialty care. "They're our colleagues and our friends," said Diane Lamb, AirCare nurse manager. "We work with that program in Mason City." While the programs are not affiliated, Lamb says she sees the victims as members of a "family." Crashes involving medical helicopters are extremely rare. The AirCare program in Iowa City has never had a crash while transporting patients more than 3 million miles since 1979.

There's only one more day to go in our feature outlining classic games or franchises we feel would work in the modern or future gaming space for revival purposes, and as I mentioned yesterday, it's all been pretty eclectic so far.
Today's list, however, comes from a bit of a familiar camp, but as I explain in the article proper, when said camp was the dominating force for so long, it's hard not to have a bit of cross-over. But I digress. So we have three new games for you today, which rounds out the list now to 12 of 15, meaning tomorrow you'll have the full gamut of games we chose, plus a few other surprises mentioned after the break. Click here to see what made the cut on Day 4.

Grand Rapids looks to regulate increasingly popular 'couch surfing' rentals
Update 11/20/13: This week Grand Rapids City Commission voted to create a task force to study this issue deeper. See this new post for updated information.
The growing number of people renting out a room or just a couch in their homes on websites like airbnb.com has some cities considering how these set-ups should fit into local zoning regulations, business permits and taxes.
Grand Rapids is considering changes that would require people who want to rent out space like this get a home-based business license and zoning permit.
"There's been a lively debate on this subject in the community, perhaps unparalleled since urban chickens, I don't know," Mayor George Heartwell said as he opened a public hearing on the proposed changes Tuesday night.
Barbara Hekhuis worries about the impact short-term rentals would have on the popular, Heritage Hill historic district where she's lived for 25 years.
"Turning my neighborhood into a hotel, commercial district is very offensive to me. And it destroys all the things that I and my neighbors have invested into," Hekhuis said at a public hearing Tuesday night.
Opponents of the proposed regulations agree there are legitimate concerns.
"Airbnb has been in Grand Rapids for three years and we cannot find any evidence of even one complaint against a host or a guest that was disrespectful or noisy or loud of any kind," Airbnb host Karen Coy said.
"So other than the fact that it's illegal it actually appears to be working pretty well," Coy laughed.
Coy and others asked to work with the city to come up with a compromise that will keep short-term rentals viable. They worry the increased fees associated with city permits would deter most people from considering renting an extra room out.
Grand Rapids City Attorney Catherine Mish pointed out people who have been hosting should be disclosing that income on their taxes. Hosts with this kind of home based business license would have to pay hotel/motel taxes in Kent County, Michigan sales tax, and could not claim 100% of the homestead exemption on their tax returns.
The issue's been around for a while in tourist communities on the Lake Michigan shore.
Traverse City adopted regulations a few years ago. Short term rentals were banned in residentially zoned districts. Those with a condo or home in a business district are allowed to rent out all or part of their homes, but for no less than a week at a time.
Grand Rapids could decide on the changes as soon as next week.
Editors note: A reference to couchsurfing.com was removed from this article to prevent confusion. The city is not looking to regulate any specific website, rather the practice of renting out a space in a person's home as a home occupation.

Hike, bike, or snowshoe this 3.1-mile loop to pioneer ruins and a relaxing waterfall in Patapsco State Park, a short drive from downtown.
This 5.6-mile loop climbs the woody spine of Dick's Ridge, then meanders along a twisting mountain stream in a hilly section of Chattahoochee National Forest.
This beautiful 4.3-mile loop adjacent to the Illinois River adds welcome relief--waterfalls, sculpted sandstone canyons, and impressive overlooks--to the usually pancake-flat landscape.
This 8.4-mile out-and-back--just 10 minutes from downtown--connects a handful of wooded hills and stream-carved valleys in Mt. Airy Forest.
Get far away from it all on this 4-mile loop through wooded ravines and giant rock outcroppings abutting the Great Miami River.
This 11.2-mile loop traces an old Shawnee trail over ragged foothills, across view-laden ridges, and into quiet, wooded hollows with darting streams.
Explore seasonal waterfalls, mellow woods, and a large quarry on this moderate 4.5-mile loop along the relatively steep flanks of Monte Sano Mountain.
This 5-mile loop winds through an undisturbed swath of parkland to babbling creeks and fine views across the San Fernando Valley to the San Gabriel Mountains.
Only 8 miles from downtown, this diverse 3.4-mile loop curves gently around a pair of crystal-clear lakes (bring binocs to watch waterfowl) to an old trading post.

Venous sinus thrombosis and associated hemorrhagic infarction.
CT - Ill-defined area of low-attenuation in the right temporo-occipital region with irregular high attenuation, consistent with hemorrhagic infarction. CTA - Severe paucity of blood flow in the right temporo-occipital region. Lack of filling in the right sigmoid and transverse sinuses. Note the patency of the superior sagittal and left transverse sinuses. MRI - TSE T2WI demonstrates high signal intensity in the right temporo-occipital region, as well as soft tissue in the sagittal sinus, indicative of thrombus. DWI demonstrates corresponding restricted diffusion. GRE T2WI (not shown) would demonstrate blooming, consistent with hemorrhage. MRV - Evidence of disease progression from the CTA, with lack of filling in the posterior superior sagittal and bilateral transverse sinuses.
Venous sinus thrombosis is a relatively elusive diagnosis. Clinical presentation is extremely variable, ranging from nonspecific findings, such as headache, nausea, or vomiting, to focal neurologic findings such as seizures. It can also present as psychiatric symptoms. When complicated by infarction, stroke symptoms are observed. Because of its amorphous presentation, a high level of suspicion is often needed for prompt diagnosis. Multiple predisposing factors exist, including (but not limited to) hypercoagulable state, extrinsic compression or invasion, dehydration, and pregnancy. It should be noted, however, that 25% of patents with venous sinus thrombosis have no identifiable predisposition. CT and MRI (including CTA and MRA/MRV) are the imaging modalities of choice for diagnosis. On unenhanced CT, the thrombosis will appear hyperattenuating (the "delta" sign), while on enhanced scans, a filling defect can be identified within the thrombosed sinus (the "reverse delta" sign). Associated infarcts are variable, and as many as 50% have associated hemorrhage. Venous sinus thrombosis should be an etiologic consideration in bilateral infarcts, infarcts not conforming to an arterial territory, or hemorrhagic infarcts. MRI detects hemorrhagic infarcts with exquisite sensitivity, showing restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted images and blooming of hemorrhage on gradient-echo images. Findings in uncomplicated thrombosis are less obvious, manifesting as absence of the normal sinus flow voids on spin-echo T1-weighted images. The signal intensity of the clot will vary depending on its age. MRV is the best noninvasive test for diagnosis of venous sinus thrombosis, using either time-of flight or phase contrast techniques.

State of Conservation (SOC)
Los Glaciares National Park (1986)
UNESCO Extra-Budgetary Funds
International Assistance granted to the property
Requests Approved:0
Total Amount Ap proved:5,000USD
1985 | Support to preparation of interpretative signs for Los Glaciares ... | 5,000 USD |
IUCN in March 1986
Factors* affecting the property identified in previous reports
Reappropriation of land for a settlement scheme
Corrective Measures
Current conservation issues
IUCN visited the site in March.
Development of a village settlement by the Province has indeed begun and has resulted in detrimental impacts in this key area of the park.
There are also further plans for dam construction in the park and great concern by local conservationists over the future of this site has been expressed.
Analysis and Conclusion
Link to the decision
14. As in previous years, IUCN reported on the conservation of natural properties inscribed on the World Heritage List and the List of World Heritage in Danger. An information document (CC-86/CONF.003/INF.4) prepared by IUCN presented up-to-date information on some 16 natural properties.
15. The Committee was glad to learn of improvements or of a stabilisation in the previously deteriorating situation of certain properties, notably Djoudj National Park (Senegal), Ngorongoro Conservation area (Tanzania) and Garamba National Park (Zaire) (all inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger). Improvements were also noted for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Australia), Pirin National Park (Bulgaria), Manas Tiger Reserve (India), Niokolo Koba National Park (Senegal) and Aldabra Atoll (Seychelles). The Committee requested IUCN to keep it informed of the conservation status of Iguazu and Los Glaciares National Parks (Argentina), Mt. Nimba (Guinea/Côte d'Ivoire) and Ichkeul National Park (Tunisia).

Our high school mates get together every Xmas at our local Navy Club....the ones that come back home every Xmas that is, plus the ones who still live in the hometown.
Hard to believe it's been 30 years since I graduated high school. Last nit we had a casual get-together at a bar in my old home town. Tonight is the actual reunion.
I had a great time in high school but moved from Connecticut to NY and only kept in touch with a small group of people. Definitely good to see many old friends and we had a great time.
After the reunion tonight, many of us are all staying at the same hotel after and I'm sure we will be drinking and partying well into the night.
Anyone else been to any of their reunions?
Our high school mates get together every Xmas at our local Navy Club....the ones that come back home every Xmas that is, plus the ones who still live in the hometown.
anybody who remembers high school couldn't have enjoyed it that much.
I wasn't a great student back in high school. I focused all of my time on having fun. I enjoyed it a lot but left it behind soon after I left. I kept in touch with a handful of people over the years but for the most part, I hadn't seen most of my former classmates in 30 years.
I wasn't sure how the reunion would be. I grew up in a small town in Connecticut and I think my senior class graduated something like 185 people. So everyone knew everyone else pretty well.
We had a great time and though 30 years had passed, it seemed like old times. I recognized almost everyone right away, although there were a few I had to look at name tags. Lots of drinking and partying well into the night and finally got to bed around 3 am.
To answer your question, the wife stayed home last night. She went with me to the bar on Friday but figured I would have more fun without her on Saturday.
Missed out on the 5 and 10 year reunions. Prob will go to my 15 year reunion in 2015. Kinda looking forward to some old faces
Pics or it didn't happen?
Did the class tramp attend?
Any hot chicks turn into whales?
The class tramp did not attend. She was very hot back then but drugs and alcohol likely have her looking "rode hard and put away wet" by now.
Surprisingly no. Then again, not everyone attended so the ones that did probably decided not to show. Actually the class on the whole has aged well. Many of the girls still looked great, especially with all of them in their late 40's. One of the girls, a little petite Spanish girl looked almost exactly the way she did in high school. Barely aged a day.
A few girls actually blossomed from high school wallflowers into attractive women.
My wife went to the gathering on Friday but didn't go to the actual reunion on Saturday. I sat at a table with a bunch of couples and a single girl sat next to me. She was in our class but moved before graduation. She was always fine and still looked incredible. We talked a lot and she told me several times that if I wasn't married, she'd have wanted to get together.
I have a great marriage and would never cheat on my wife but something like that that always makes you feel good.
My 20th HS reunion is is/was sometime around now. Meh. I was a metal head pot smoker who hung out with other metal head pot smokers and the dead head pot smokers. I have no real interest in seeing any of those people, really.
My wife and both have college reunions coming up next year and recently I told her that I had no interest in going to hers and I figured she would have no interest in going to mine. Thankfully the last part she took in stride (and not that I'm looking to hit on chicks - I'm not) as I still hang out with a whole bunch of guys from college and she grows tired of hearing the same stupid stories every time. But, she couldn't understand - and was upset - that I told her I didn't want to go to hers.
Are there any other places you would less rather be? Aren't reunions the time to go back and see people you haven't seen in a while, get drunk, (without having to baby sit your significant other), act a little stupid, and then go back and tell your spouse how lucky you have it, and everyone else there hates their life and aged terribly?
The best thing I could hope for in going to her reunion is to find some other miserable SOB, who's wife also dragged him there, and start drinking heavily to the point I embarrass my wife.
I guess its different with women - they want to show off their family to everyone else. Guys just want to go get wasted and perhaps go re-live some stupid college moments. Hopefully enough of her friends will decide that they aren't bringing their spouses and I'll get a pass.
I too have my 30th this year (in a couple weeks). Definately not going. I haven't seen most of them in that length of time, can't wrap my head around traveling 1400 miles for some party with old people
I went to my 5th reunion and it was boring. All the same cliques hung out together at the reunion. Saw some of my friends, but my closest ones didn't attend. So I had a few drinks and then went home.
Haven't gone to another reunion since. Have no desire to and haven't gone to any of my husband's reunions either. Actually, he never went to any of his, so we're alike that way. We keep in contact with the friends we want to, though.

Puff Daddy singles chronology | ||||
"It's All About the Benjamins" is the fourth single released from the Puff Daddy album No Way Out. The song is about living one's lifestyle as if one were rich, and the importance of being seen to have money. "Benjamins" are slang for $100 bills (USD), a reference to Benjamin Franklin's image on the bills. The song's main guitar hook is played by Marc Solomon.
The song debuted in 1996 on DJ Clue's Holiday Holdup mixtape. This version of the song only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act The LOX (excluding Styles P). The song was later added to Puffy's debut album, No Way Out, in a remix, "It's All About the Benjamins (Remix)", which added two new verses by Lil' Kim and Notorious B.I.G. Lil' Kim also provided the song with a chorus which the original version lacked. This version of the song also omitted the word "Hebrews" out of Jadakiss' verse; however, the word was left in on the first pressing. Subsequent pressings removed the word. Additionally, when it was released on the Bad Boy's Greatest Hits Vol. I album, it retained the word. This single made it to #1 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and its video won a Viewer's Choice award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards show. Due to the rarity of the obscure mixtape version, the remix featured on No Way Out is often considered the song's definitive version to avoid confusion.
The song samples two pieces of music. The first sample heard up to the end of Lil' Kim's verse is taken from the song "I Did It for Love" performed by the Love Unlimited written by Linda Laurie. The verse performed by Notorious B.I.G. contains a sample from The Jackson 5 song "It's Great to Be Here." This latter sample is exclusive to the No Way Out remix. After the final verse, the song reverts to the first sample and ends shortly after.
In 2008, it was ranked number 32 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
Puffy also released a rock version of the song, "It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix)". This collaboration, also known as "Shot-Caller Rock Remix" and "Rock Remix I", featured Tommy Stinson, Fuzzbubble, Rob Zombie and Dave Grohl on drums. This remix added guitar riffs and live drums, as well as a more "in your face" approach to the song's chorus. This version had its own music video, directed by Spike Jonze, which was nominated for Best Video of the Year on MTV Video Music Awards in 1998.
In 1999, Puffy performed this remix with a live band at Giants Stadium for the NetAid benefit concert. This performance featured Slash on guitar as well as Lil' Cease and Lil' Kim on vocals.
There is also a slightly different alternative to this remix called, "It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix II)." This lesser known version adds Size 14 to the song's already long collaboration line-up.
Both rock remixes of the song were released as edited versions; the explicit versions were never released or created.
In popular culture[edit]
In 1999, "Weird Al" Yankovic performed a parody of the rock remix of "It's All About the Benjamins". His version, "It's All About the Pentiums", features himself boasting about the superiority of his computer hardware.
In 1999 the satirical newspaper The Onion published a "point/counterpoint", with "Mack Master Dwayne", described as a "playa", arguing that "It's All About The Benjamins"; while "Professor E. Worthington Jackson", in his response titled "Actually, The Benjamins Are Only A Small Part Of A Larger Set of Concerns", states, "Cash monetary holdings such as Grants and Benjamins are, quite simply, not a good way to safeguard your profit potential in the long run."[1]
Kanye West referenced the track in the song "Breathe In Breathe Out" on his 2004 debut album The College Dropout with the lyrics "and it's still about the Benjamins".
The 2005 Saturday Night Live "digital short" rap music video "Lazy Sunday", contained the lyrics "it's all about the Hamiltons, baby", referring to $10 bills.
Taco Bell referenced the song in their 2009 commercial "It's All About the Roosevelts", referring to Franklin D. Roosevelt's image on the dime, and Taco Bell's value meals.
Diddy sampled the song in the remix to "Shot Caller" by French Montana.
The song has also been covered by the Ballas Hough Band who performed the song with Grammy Award winning multi-platinum rap superstar Lil' Kim in 2009.
The song is used by Ben Maller as an introductory theme before his first break on his radio show on Fox Sports Radio.

Twitter Charms < BFF Heart Necklaces
This is why you're single.
I always wanted one of those BFF heart necklaces that was split in two that you and your bestie each wore half of. Sadly, I never had a best friend until recently. Growing up I did have a broom with a face painted on the bristles, but he hated wearing jewelry. Introducing Twitter necklaces: not only can you choose a piece of colored glass that matches your birthstone, they even come engraved with your actual Twitter handle. Peridot green and @Geekologie, please! The necklaces cost $49 and come in both the 'Birdie' design (above) and the '@' symbol (picture after the jump). Well -- which one are you getting? "OMG, tell me you're joking." I'll tell you if I'm joking as soon as you tell me which one you're getting! "Fine, the bird one with a ruby red crystal." Haha, DORK -- I WAS JOKING!
Hit the jump for a shot of the '@' ones.

France's Conservative Party Faces Threat of Split (Paris)
PARIS — Former prime minister Francois Fillon, outraged at losing a chaotic internal leadership vote marred by cheating, threatened Tuesday to split off from France's main conservative party and take his followers into a separate parliamentary group.
Fillon said the breakaway faction could return to the mother party, the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), if a new leadership election were held within three months to eliminate the doubt as to who would assume former president Nicolas Sarkozy's mantle as head of the right-wing opposition in France.
Fillon's victorious rival, Jean-Francois Cope, had already rejected proposals for a new vote. But prodded by Sarkozy, Cope and Fillon compromised late Tuesday on an agreement to hold a referendum among the UMP faithful to see if they want to hold a second vote, probably early next year.
The fragile compromise calmed for the moment what had become an embarrassing public catfight over who was the rightful UMP president. But it left the two men arrayed in angry confrontation, with each claiming to be in charge and blaming the other for weakening the party when it should be attacking President Francois Hollande's ruling Socialists.
"We are neither defeated nor are we silent," Fillon vowed in a televised speech announcing his decision to form the dissident group, which he baptized "UMP Rally."
The bitter wrangling between Cope and Fillon has been criticized by party activists as a ridiculous schoolyard spat that discredits the conservative movement and leaves the field open for President Francois Hollande and his ruling Socialists.
Despite the mocking tone of many commentators, the leadership struggle has been particularly intense for several reasons. For one, Cope and Fillon have long disliked each other. Their rivalry was muted during Sarkozy's presidency, from 2007 until May, but it broke into the open as each of them campaigned to become chief of the conservative movement and their party's likely candidate for the next presidential elections in 2017.
In addition, Cope has called on the party to be right-wing "without complexes," suggesting a hardened position on such issues as immigration and the growing Muslim presence in France. Fillon, on the other hand, dissociated himself from such appeals when Sarkozy turned to them in the final days of his losing campaign against Hollande.
Against that background, the leadership vote was also understood as a test that in large measure will determine the tone of the UMP's opposition stands and of its presidential candidate when the next election rolls around.

ACM Trans. Graphics (SIGGRAPH), 25(3), 2006.
Improved synthesis quality and efficiency by pre-transforming the exemplar.
paper docx video talk poster advection-over-horse movie additional results
Abstract: The traditional approach in texture synthesis is to compare color neighborhoods with those of an exemplar. We show that quality is greatly improved if pointwise colors are replaced by appearance vectors that incorporate nonlocal information such as feature and radiance-transfer data. We perform dimensionality reduction on these vectors prior to synthesis, to create a new appearance-space exemplar. Unlike a texton space, our appearance space is low-dimensional and Euclidean. Synthesis in this information-rich space lets us reduce runtime neighborhood vectors from 5x5 grids to just 4 locations. Building on this unifying framework, we introduce novel techniques for coherent anisometric synthesis, surface texture synthesis directly in an ordinary atlas, and texture advection. Remarkably, we achieve all these functionalities in real-time, or 3 to 4 orders of magnitude faster than prior work.
Hindsight: The main contribution of this paper is sometimes misinterpreted: it is not the use of PCA projection to accelerate texture neighborhood comparisons (which is already done in [Hertzmann et al 2001; Liang et al 2001; Lefebvre and Hoppe 2005]); rather it is the transformation of the exemplar texture itself (into a new appearance space) to let each transformed pixel encode nonlocal information. See Design of tangent vector fields for interactive painting of oriented texture over a surface.

AIRE Tributary 14.0 SB Self-Bailing Raft - Get out there with the Tributary 14.0 SB raft from AIRE. The 14.0 SB is a highly maneuverable self-bailing raft stable enough for families on easy rivers, yet agile enough for adults looking for whitewater fun. The 14.0 SB raft is symmetrically designed with slightly diminishing tube ends for better wave piercing.

Ghosts, goblins, princesses and action heroes descended on Bush Elementary School on a recent Friday night. They weren't trick-or-treating but attending, with their families, the Bush Elementary School's Fun Fair sponsored by the PTA. The fair had a fantastic turnout with families playing games donated by the Fletcher Elementary School PTA and run by the JHS National Honor Society students and Jefferson Middle School Junior Honor Society. They also marched in a Halloween parade, listened to the "Bubble Gum Man" DJ and visited a haunted house put together by the fourth-grade Bush teachers. Donations came in from Pepsi, Tops and Pizza Express. The all-school event, which Bush staff also attended, gave a great reason for families to visit the school and have fun with their children in a safe environment. It is just one of many ways the Bush Elementary School PTA helps the school.
"Our goal as a PTA is to encourage family engagement," said Brad Joy, PTA co-president. "I got involved because, as the only parent to my daughter, I wanted to participate in her life. I didn't realize how much the PTA is needed at the school and all that they do. I think it's particularly important for dads to get involved. We are very lucky to have a strong volunteer base in our parents, the Bush School staff and the local community. We couldn't do many of these events without their support."
The Bush School PTA offers many activities and events throughout the school year including a Scholastic Book Fair, movie nights, popcorn days every Friday, buying Twister T-shirts for every child in the school, running the Secret Santa Shoppe, developing fundraisers for the school and putting on a Valentine's Day dance. In the planning stages is participation in the National PTA's "All-Pro Dad" program through the National PTA, which encourages dads to join the PTA and invest quality time in their children's lives. Often it includes a monthly breakfast.

Bush Elementary School PTA members include Jill Spitzer, Ann Marie Pratt, Bradley Joy, Delia Crooks, Kristen Maloney and Hillary Meyer.
"Parents and teachers have much in common," said Bush Elementary School principal Dan Bracey. "When they come together, it helps build the relationship in the school, and all children benefit. It has been very encouraging this year to see such a fantastic PTA, and we always welcome all who want to participate."

Getting to Know:
Alexi Casilla
Good morning everyone! For the second straight night, the Twins got a great start from a rookie pitcher against the Royals and their offense did nothing so both got losses. Boof Bonser threw five shutout innings before giving up three in the sixth, but he was great. Two straight losses to the Royals will certainly upset a lot of Twins fans, and that is understandable. Some may think that these two losses may have cost the Twins a playoff spot. And that case could certainly be made. But, I am going to choose to be positive. The Twins need to have their post-season roster set by midnight tonight. Will they make it? I don't know. But they have to make a move or two for just in case.
By the end of tonight, I believe that Alexi Casilla will be a member of the Minnesota Twins. He will give the Twins playoff roster its second member who was playing in Hi-A Ft. Myers to start the season. Seem crazy? Maybe it is, but I don't think so for several reasons. So, today, I am going to highlight the short career of Alexi Casilla as well as present the reasons that I believe he should be added to the Twins post season roster today.
Coming into the 2006 season, Twins fans knew little about Alexi Casilla. To us, he was "the guy we got to get JC Romero off our hands" last winter. At the time, I thought that because of the going rate for left-handed relief pitchers in the offseason, that the Twins could maybe have received more in return for the enigmatic Romero. I knew that the likes of Brandon Wood and Howie Kendrick were not options, but I was hoping they could get a prospect the caliber of Erick Aybar. Well, as it turns out, they just may have!
Alexi Casilla was born in San Cristobal of the Dominican Republic on July 20th of 1984. In 2003, he signed with the Anaheim Angels (I think that's what they were called at that time) as a free agent.
Casilla spent the majority of the 2004 season playing in the Rookie Leagues. All together, he stole 26 bases in 35 attempts.
In 2005, Casilla spent most of the season with Cedar Rapids of the Midwest League. In 78 games, he hit .325/.392/.409 with 11 doubles, three triples, three homers and 17 RBI. He stole 47 bases in 59 attempts. One thing I look for in a minor league player, particularly a player who relies on speed and not power is his strikeout to walk ratio. For the season, he walked 29 times and struck out 31 times. Late in the season, Casilla played in seven games for AA Arkansas and then 13 games with AAA Salt Lake. I remember being happy about Romero being gone, but disappointed that the team wasn't able to get more. However, I also understood that if Terry Ryan would have been offered more, he would have taken it. And then Roger did an analysis of Casilla's 2005 season in the Midwest League and compared it to the other Twins prospects in Beloit last year and he was far and away above them all, including David Winfree, the Twins minor league player of the year last year.
Wisely, the Twins started Alexi Casilla in the Florida State League, in Ft. Myers. He immediately showed the type of player that he can be. After hitting .286 in April, Casilla hit .327 in May, .328 in June and .538 in 26 at bats in July before he was called up to AA New Britain. All told, in 78 games with Ft. Myers, he hit .331/.390/.406 with 12 doubles, six triples and 33 RBI. He walked 30 times to go with 36 strikeouts. He had 31 stolen bases in 37 attempts.
He immediately made an impact at the top of the New Britain batting order. Through Tuesday, Casilla was hitting .305/.380/.396 with 10 doubles, a triple, a homer and 13 RBI. He has 16 walks and 19 strikeouts. He has also stolen 19 bases in 22 attempts.
So, for the season, Alexi Casilla has played in 121 games. He has hit .322/.387/.402 with 22 doubles, seven triples, a homer and 46 RBI. He also has 50 stolen bases in 59 attempts.
He was named the SethSpeaks.net Minor League player of the month for July (as well as the Twins actual minor league player of the month, which I assume carries more weight and glamour). Baseball America named him the Most Exciting Player in the Florida State League as well as the fastest and best base runner in the league.
Is Alexi Casilla ready to be an every day player in the Major Leagues right now? I don't think so. As good as he has been this year, I think that he is probably at least a half-season away from being ready for a full time job with the Twins. However, the Twins need to set their post-season roster by midnight tonight. As they sit right now, the Twins have 12 pitchers and 13 hitters on their Major League roster. Most years, a post season roster consists of 11 pitchers and 14 hitters. The reason is because instead of having five starters, only three (in the Division Series) or four (in the Championship Series and World Series) are used. Situational play, such as pinch hitting and pinch running is done more as individual games are much more important. Having a guy who can play some defense late in games or lay down a sacrifice bunt or steal a base is important.
One pitcher would need to be removed from the Twins active roster. It is most likely that either Willie Eyre or Boof Bonser would be the pitcher removed from the Major League roster by late tonight. It could be Eyre because, despite his recent success, he is the bullpen guy least likely to be used in a playoff situation. The other option would be to take Bonser off (or Garza, or preferably Carlos Silva) because whoever the fourth start is could pitch in long relief, but the 5th starter would be unlikely to be used.
One batter would have to be added to the roster. Easy choices would be someone from Rochester like Chris Heintz, who might allow Joe Mauer and Mike Redmond to be in a playoff lineup. It could be a switch-hitting infielder like Terry Tiffee who has spent parts of how many seasons with the Twins already. I have heard the name of Andres Torres mentioned as a possible call up because of his speed, but he would be far too redundant on the roster that already includes so many outfielders. Josh Rabe may be a playoff option. However, don't forget that the Rochester Red Wings are in the hunt for a playoff spot in the International League. Believe me, if there is a guy on the Rochester roster that could make a difference for the Twins in the season's final month, Terry Ryan would not hesitate to call him up.
So, let's discuss what the Twins need? Their outfield roster already consists of Torii Hunter, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Tyner, Lew Ford, Jason Kubel and Rondell White. They don't need another outfielder. Justin Morneau, Luis Castillo, Jason Bartlett and Nick Punto comprise the starting infield, but Luis Rodriguez is really the only utility infield option (unless you consider Cuddyer an option, which I would doubt they would.) Joe Mauer and Mike Redmond can handle catching duties.
So, if the Twins want a second utility infielder, a guy who (if needed) could put together a quality at bat, and a guy who can run the bases well, specifically with the ability to steal a base... Alexi Casilla is the guy! The 22 year old is really one of few bright spots (Kevin Slowey and Matt Garza would be other examples) in an incredibly disappointing season in New Britain. Their roster is loaded with high-level prospects and first round picks, but they are well below .500 and have no shot at the playoffs. Their season is coming to an end, so if they believe that he can fill a role in September and potentially in the playoffs, then why not. (A couple more New Britain call-up options would be Denard Span and Trent Oeltjen who are both having decent, but unspectacular, seasons for the Rockcats. However, if base running is a criteria for a call up, neither is ready, and certainly not to the caliber of Casilla. Also, they are both outfielders which makes it even less likely either would be recalled.)
Currently, Alexi Casilla is not on the Twins 40 man roster. I believe that they have 40 on their current roster, so someone would have to be removed in order to call him up. I don't think that Terry Ryan would have any difficulty taking Mike Smith off of the 40 man roster.
As I started this section with... Is Alexi Casilla ready to be an every day player in the Major Leagues right now? I don't think so. Is he a guy that could fill a role for the Twins in September and potentially in the playoffs? I absolutely think he can. Was Jarvis Brown a big league caliber player when the Twins called him up in 1991 on August 31? No way. Was he ever a big league caliber player? Probably not. Alexi Casilla is a far better prospect than Jarvis Brown ever was.
With Luis Castillo leaving last night's game with an apparent ankle injury, Casilla could be called up even sooner and get a couple of starts at 2B to see where he is.
By midnight tonight, we will find out if I am right. I think we know that the Twins will make at least one transaction to get to their desired playoff roster. Will it be Casilla or one of the other guys mentioned above called up? Will there be more than one move made? Is it possible that the Twins will make a deal at the deadline? We shall see.
(QUICK UPDATE - Casilla went 0-7 in the New Britain double header last night to drop his AA batting average to .294. The Twins do have a history of promoting players a level after a rough start or game.)
That brings me to my next topic:
It is no secret that the Red Sox are actively looking to deal veteran (43 year old) David Wells before the trade deadline tonight. He did clear waivers and could be dealt. The Twins likely will need another starting pitcher. Johan Santana, Matt Garza and Boof Bonser have all pitched well of late. Brad Radke will miss another start this weekend against the Yankees, so they will need to make another move at that time. Carlos Silva has been horrible and should not be in the rotation any longer. Like early in the season when Kyle Lohse was on the mound, when Silva starts, there is no confidence in my mind that the Twins could win.
So, what would it cost the Twins to get Wells for a month? If the Twins need to give up a Top 10-15 prospect for Wells, I would not do it. If the Twins had to give up a prospect in that 10-15 range AND the Red Sox agreed to take Carlos Silva as well, then I would probably do it. Wells is not great, but he is a veteran, he has pitched in big September games in the past, he is healthy now. He might be a different look compared to the other guys in the rotation to keep opponents off balance.
Is it worth looking into dealing for David Wells? What would you give up? Send me an e-mail, or leave some Comments below.
Juan Rincon is one of the top set up men in baseball. That has been true for a couple of years. However, as Willie Eyre has turned his season around, Juan Rincon has really struggled of late. Last night, he gave up a run on three hits in his inning. Yes, the run scored on a bloop single, but he was hit pretty hard before that. In five of his last eight outings, he has given up at least two hits. His ERA has gone from 2.17 to 2.67. I'm not worried. He will be fine, but he is just going through a rough stretch right now.
Speaking of struggling, last night Joe Mauer went 0-4 to drop his batting average to .350 for the first time since May 30. He has just one hit in his last 16 at bats and really isn't even putting together quality at bats. His bat just looks a little slower. His strikeout last night against Jimmy Gobble just looked completely uninspired. And the past ball that he had in the top of the 9th was pretty bad, a lack of concentration. I hate to even say anything negative about Mauer. He has been tremendous all season. He just has to be tired. He has to be worn down. I have to assume that he will be out of the lineup this afternoon in the final game against the Royals. His legs and his importance to this team's success may make the recall of Chris Heintz more important now, just to give Mauer the chance to get a few days away from catching.
Last night, Michael Cuddyer had three of the Twins six hits. Two of those hits were home runs as he drove in all three of the Twins runs. In his last seven games, he is 14-29 (.483) with three doubles, a triple, two homers and ten RBI. With 90 RBI on the season, he is on pace to drive in 111 runs.
On July 14, Jason Kubel went 3-5 against the Indians to end that day hitting .300. Since that game, Kubel has ten hits in 71 at bats. That's a .141 batting average. He has provided just one home run and two RBI in that time. Clearly, he is not playing at 100% He is hitting too many weak ground balls and fly balls, and he just has no speed at all. Maybe it is time to consider sending Kubel down tomorrow and let him get healthy in helping the Red Wings toward the playoffs. I absolutely still believe that Jason Kubel will have a big future in the Twins lineup. He just needs more time to get healthy again. We saw what a healthy Kubel is capable of before the All-Star break.

The need for a standard cloud taxonomy
The Cloud Interoperability meeting prior to Cloud Connect in Mountain View, Calif., last week was a very interesting petri dish of some of the best and brightest in the cloud-computing marketplace.
There certainly was a quorum of companies represented (though Amazon.com couldn't make it at the last minute, and Microsoft never replied to the invitation). There also, as you might imagine, was no shortage of opinion on how to proceed.
As you might imagine in such a situation, most of the day was taken by attendees expressing their personal visions of cloud interoperability and standards building, only to boil next steps down to developing a taxonomy and sorting out a small list of the most pressing concepts to be explored. A wiki was proposed, and I will share the URL when I get it.
Here is the whiteboard at the end of the day (artistry courtesy of David Berlind, one of the founders of the event):… Read more
