Weekend Recap
Good morning everybody! It was a good, productive weekend for me. Sadly, now we must return to the work week ,but that is alright, or at least it is really the only option! We've got a lot today, so let's just get started.
First, I want to give a Chris Coste update. I wrote the below on Saturday morning after his Friday night home run against John Smoltz:
CHRIS COSTE UPDATE - Friday night, Coste was the catcher and #8 hitter for the Phillies against John Smoltz and the Braves. The following is from mlb.com's Phillies beat writer Ken Mandel:
Rookie Chris Coste, who smacked his first career homer on Wednesday, stayed hot with a two-run blast off Smoltz in the fourth.
"It's very frustrating for me personally," Smoltz said. "One bad pitch to the No. 8 hitter."
"It wasn't a great John Smoltz slider," Coste said. "I was able to get to it and drive it."
I just watched the video of the home run over at mlb.com. What a shot! And yes, it was a hanger! Click here. On the right part of the page, you will find the heading More Coverage and then Related Links. There is a 350K video of it that you can click on.
Phillies backup catcher Sal Fasano is set to rejoin the team Saturday or Sunday. The question then becomes whether Chris Coste is sent back down to Scranton, or someone else. Coste has certainly proven he is major league caliber. Again, after starting out 0-13, he has now gone 18-41 since. That's a nice .439 clip. He has the three doubles and two homers as well giving him a slugging percentage since then of .659. Add in a .465 on-base percentage and since that 0-13 start, Coste has an OPS of 1.124. He should not be sent down!
On Saturday, the news was even better for Coste. It was determined that Coste would remain with the Phillies as their backup catcher, behind Mike Lieberthal. Sal Fasano was set to come off of the Disabled List, but the team decided to Designate him for Assignment instead. If you read this article on the Phillies mlb.com page, you find out what a strange situation this really was. A few weeks ago, Fasano was put on the DL. He did not think that he needed it. In reality, the Phillies were determining what Coste was capable of. When it become obvious that Coste could hit AND handle a pitching staff, the team decided to drop Fasano, a very popular player with his teammates and the Philly fans. Coste called Fasano his "favorite player on the team," and Fasano told Coste the he was proud of him. When Fasano realized this was going to happen, he decided to explain the situation. The mlb.com article is very interesting, and it quotes both Fasano an Coste in it. Both speak very highly of each other, and Coste fully understands his situation. Check out Balls, Sticks & Stuff as well for his thoughts on the situation. Todd Zolecki of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote an article on this situation as well. Here is the Beer Leaguer account. And here is what was written at phillyburbs.com.
Today, I have some thoughts on each of the Twins games. I tried to type out my thoughts shortly after the games, so I didn't forget anything that I wanted to mention. Hopefully you like that format. I do have a couple of links to Twins-related articles that I think you will enjoy. That is followed by Roger's Minor League Player and Pitcher of the week choices. Roger spent the weekend in Cleveland, so I was ready to post that he was on vacation and would return next week. But Roger is quite dedicated, and we obviously appreciate that! Finally, I have my game notes for each of the Twins affiliate's games from the weekend. Plenty more solid performances! I would love to hear your thoughts, so e-mail me, or leave Comments below:
With Sunday's 3-1 win over Cleveland, the Twins were able to take two of three. They have just been incredible, and with the post-All Star break slide of the White Sox, the Twins have put themselves back in playoff contention! The Twins are still 9.5 games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. However, they are now just three games behind the White Sox who have the Wild Card lead now. With a three game series starting in Chicago against the White Sox tonight, it is possible that by Wednesday late afternoon, the Twins could be tied for the Wild Card lead. Of course, the Yankees and Blue Jays have a say in that as well.
Here are a couple of sites with articles related to the Twins that I think you will enjoy:
First, Rich Lederer of The Baseball Analysts has spent lots of time trying to spread the word of Bert Blyleven's Hall of Fame candidacy. In doing so, he has also now had the opportunity to interview him a few times. He just posted his most recent Q&A with Blyleven last night, and it is excellent!
You will definitely want to go to On the Road with Pat Neshek today because he updated his site a couple of times over the weekend. On Friday, he wrote two postings, one about travel and pitching. The other was about Wayne Hattaway, someone we just don't know enough about, but someone with such a great involvement with the Twins. And his article on Sunday was wonderful. More travel. Clarifying a 'misquote' by Sid (Pat, you know you've made it now!). And much more.
I guess another way to find out that Neshek has made it is that Batgirl used some Legovision to explain his delivery.
There is a fun, interactive way to help the Twins community come up with their own Twins Prospect Ranking over at Twinkie Town. It involves a poll in which you can vote for which Twins prospect ranks the highest. So far, it has been determined that Matt Garza is the #1 prospect and Kevin Slowey ranks #2. Right now, you can vote to determine who is the Twins #3 prospect.
Nick N. says Bring on the Sox!
My favorite topic right now is what the Twins need to do with the latter 40% of the Twins rotation. In the Top 3, the starters are fine. But both Scott Baker and Carlos Silva are quite questionable right now. I have heard and read that Terry Ryan may be interested in acquiring a 4th of 5th starter for the pennant race. Although I do think that the Twins do need to make a move here, I don't think that getting a 4th or 5th starter is wise, particularly depending on who the Twins would need to deal away to get said starter. First, to get a guy like Ramon Ortiz is just not better than Baker or Silva. A guy like Livan Hernandez would be a solid #4 starter, an improvement (likely) over the other options. However, the Nationals won't just give him away, so the Twins would have to deal probably a quality prospect and a lesser prospect or two. Is that worth it? If it works and the Twins win the World Series, sure. However, I think that the Twins can make a replacement in house. I think that Matt Garza is very nearly ready to contribute to the Twins. I know. He's young, just 22 years old, and he started in Ft. Myers this spring. But he has dominated at each level. He would not be the first 2005 draft pick to make The Show. The Mets brought up pitcher Mike Pelfrey a couple of weeks ago. Jered Weaver is 7-0 as a starter with the Angels. The Dodgers are counting on Chad Billingsley. These are playoff teams trusting their youth. I know, the Twins brought up Adam Johnson too early a few years ago and he ended up never being good. The concern is rushing Garza. But he is known for his make up, to go along with his 95+ mph fastball and other "stuff." Francisco Liriano is 22. I would rather see a guy get called up now and have a chance to adjust before August and September when it really does count. I think that any trades would affect this theory, but I really think that Matt Garza is the guy to go with.
And no, I don't think that it is worth trading guys like Garza and Kevin Slowey for a guy who will only be with the team for two months like Alfonso Soriano. As good as he is, the Twins would have to open up a position for him. My belief is that if a small-market team wans to compete over several years, not just one, building that minor league system and using those players is crucial.
One fun name to talk about would be Alex Rodriguez. The star Yankees 3B and 2005 AL MVP is really struggling defensively of late. He also is not having an ARod-equesque offensive season either. Some believe that he may never recover in New York. The Twins do have a need at 3B, don't they?! A-Rod's 'bad' numbers would still rank among the top three Twins hitters. The Rangers are still paying much of A-Rod's contract. He is still owed a lot of month over the next three years. Maybe the Twins could throw in a few top caliber prospects for A-Rod. The Twins would obviously need the Yankees to pick up at least half of A-Rod's remaining contract (making the deal well worth it. Of course, I don't believe that Alex Rodriguez would use his no-trade clause to accept a Twins trade. That said, the Twins have as much prospect depth as almost anyone. I don't even know what a package for A-Rod would even cost the Twins (in terms of production).
Friday night's 14-6 win over the Cleveland Indians was crazy. I mean, how many times has a team scored fourteen runs without the benefit of a home run! They did have five doubles and a triple. It was the second straight time that the team beat CC Sabathia too, so that's always fun!
The resurgence of Rondell White is truly one of the more fun stories of the Twins season. For as low as he got and as poorly as the most loyal Twins fans looked at him, his recent success is really remarkable and says a lot about his character. White went 4-5 with a hit by pitch. He drove in four runs and nearly hit his fourth homer.
Joe Mauer had a walk, a single, a double and a triple in the game raising his average to .381. A 3-5 won't move him up as quickly any more, but I have to say again, that an approach at the plate like Mauer's coupled with that swing will really keep him from prolonged slumps.
Michael Cuddyer went 3-5 with four RBI. He had a long double to center. He also had another sacrifice fly. The main concern that I have with Cuddyer is that he swings and misses a lot. But as I showed on Friday, he really has come through with runners in scoring position this year. If when there is a runner on 3B and less than two outs, he can just hit a fly ball, that is productive and very important! Based loaded doubles that score three runs, like the one he had in the top of the 4th are also very nice from time to time!
Justin Morneau was 2-4 with two walks. Both walks came in a long fourth inning for the Twins. The first came against CC Sabathia and the second against Jason Davis.
Similarly, Josh Rabe was 2-4 with a walk. Both of his hits came in that fourth inning. One was against Sabathia. The other came against Davis.
Not to be negative in a big win, but I do need to point out that Nick Punto was 1-5 with FOUR strikeouts. He really has done a far better job this season of putting the ball in play rather than striking out, so hopefully we can chalk this up to one bad game. However, if you would like, you could say that "When Nick Punto put the ball in play on Friday night, he batted 1.000!"
By the way, Punto's single gave him a 14 game hitting streak. Luis Castillo hit a double in the first inning. So despite being 1-6, the hit did increase his hit streak to 15 games.
In a 14-6 win, you assume that the starting pitcher will get the win, right? Well, not in this case. The very hittable Carlos Silva was even more hittable than normal in this game. He gave up six runs (5 earned) on 13 hits and two walks. He left the game with one out in the fourth inning, two outs from being eligible for the win. But with numbers like those, you just can't keep him in there.
I found it quite interesting that Kyle Lohse came in to replace Silva. He got the next batter out on a sacrifice fly, but then he was removed from the game with Dennys Reyes coming in. Reyes got Travis Hafner out. I understand Reyes being brought in to get Hafner. But in the 5th inning. The Twins were still up 9-6 despite the four run inning. I would think that Lohse would work longer than that, allowing Reyes to potentially pitch to Hafner and Victor Martinez in the 7th inning or so. At first, I thought maybe there was an injury, but nothing was mentioned. Then I wondered if he had just been traded and had to be brought out of the game, but that was just silly. I am sure that it was just matchups, just seemed really strange to me.
Jesse Crain went a nice 2.1 innings of shutout relief. But then Pat Neshek came in to get the final four outs. He got two on strikeouts. Neshek's follow through was a primary topic for Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven in the 9th. Neshek throws his sidewinding pitch, and on his follow through, his arm actually comes back up. When I first saw it, I actually commented to a couple of friends about it. It does, or at least can, look like he is showing up the hitter as his right up is up in the air, sometimes with a finger or two. Apparently several of the Devil Rays were upset about it after his three-strikeout inning against them on Thursday afternoon. But Neshek has the same follow through on every pitch whether it is a ball or a strike. If you throw like that, you realize that that is how he has to follow through. It is probably good for his arm to do that. Hopefully it won't become an issue.
On Saturday evening, the story was a little different. OK, it was a lot different as the Twins had little pitching and almost no hitting. The Indians got a complete game shutout from rookie Jeremy Sowers. Here are some thoughts from the game:
Scott Baker just is not getting the ball down. That is essentially why he was sent down to AAA, and reports were that he was doing that down there. But, maybe in this game, he just was off, but his control was way off. Although he gave up just two runs in the first five innings, he flirted with disaster, and then in the sixth inning, the Indians scored more runs off of him. It was strange to me just how negative Bert Blyleven was in analyzing Baker. I'm not saying that he deserved praise, but normally Blyleven tries to be a little more positive. It really felt like he was against Baker. That is just my impression, maybe others disagree. I just thought it seemed strange.
I should have been able to predict the Jeremy Sowers shutout. I picked him up in two of my leagues about a week before his call up. However, he has struggled so far in his big league career, a career that consisted of just four starts coming into the game. He had gone 1-3 with an ERA over 7.00. My pitching staffs in those leagues were pretty stacked already and I needed an OF bat, so I dropped Sowers at the end of last week. So, of course the 2004 top draft pick out of Vanderbilt threw a complete game, four hit-one walk shutout against out hot-hitting Twins club. Oh well. I'll be ok.
Four hits. Four stinking hits. And one walk. I do have to point out that Jason Bartlett was 1-2 with a walk, so that is a good day.
Seriously, the time for Willie Eyre to be sent back to Rochester was a month or so ago. He came into the game in the bottom of the eighth and pitched his first game for the Twins in over two weeks. He gave up five runs on five hits and a walk in the inning. The team has been saying for quite some times that they would like to go from 12 pitchers back to 11. Rochester obviously needs all the roster and pitching help that they can get. Eyre needs (and deserves) to pitch some innings. He needs to get his confidence back. Confidence in himself and in his pitches. The last two years in Rochester he was terrific, and I believe he can be a solid reliever in the big leagues, but not right now!
It was actually nice to see Nick Punto get a day off. I know he is playing great, but we are still talking about a guy with some injury history with questionable knees. A day off is not a bad thing. Also, Terry Tiffee needs to get some at bats if he is expected to be a contributor off the bench. Can anyone remember the last time Michael Cuddyer got a day off since he became the starter? I'm not saying that players, especially key contributors should get a lot of time off, but maybe a game a month or something. Even Kirby Puckett got some games off.
On Sunday afternoon, it was Francisco Liriano who got the nod for the Twins, hoping to end a one game losing streak! And yeah, he and a dominant bullpen were able to give the Twins the win.
Francisco Liriano was completely dominant, but he just threw too many pitches. He threw 95 pitches in just five innings and just 58 were strikes. He struck out ten batters ,but he also walked three (even if they were close pitches). Liriano improved to 12-2 on the year and his ERA stayed at 1.93. Liriano got 15 outs. Ten were on strikeouts. He faced 22 batters and just nine put the ball in play.
Pat Neshek got the next five outs, including two strikeouts. Dennys Reyes came in and struck out the two batters he faced. Juan Rincon got two outs, one on a strikeout. Joe Nathan then came in and struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his 19th Save. The post game ERAs of the five pitchers the Twins used are 1.93, 0.00, 1.38, 2.03 and 1.54, respectively. Seventeen of the 27 outs came via the strikeouts. And despite a poor record, Cleveland does have a strong hitting team.
An interesting stat according to the Yahoo game notes: The Twins are 63-1 when leading after eight innings. That is truly amazing. That means that even if there is a blown save, they have been able to come back and win all but once. Even more remarkable, since the start of the 2003 season, they are 257-3 in that situation. Truly Amazing! Says a lot about the ability of the Twins bullpen, but also their consistency over the past four years. Amazing when you consider what the bullpen situation has been like in Atlanta since John Smoltz returned to the starting rotation.
Nick Punto stretched his hit streak to 15 games with two hits on the day.
Joe Mauer got on base all four times in the game. He was 2-2 with a single, a double, and two walks, one of which was intentional.
Here is a quick look at the upcoming pitching matchups for the three game series in Chicago against the White Sox. It will be fun to watch how the series goes. Will the Twins young lineup be able to handle the pressure of a big series against one of their competitors on the road?
Mon - 7:10 - Brad Radke (8-7, 4.83, 1.49, .318) vs Javier Vazquez (9-5, 5.20, 1.35, .274)
Tues - 7:10 - Johan Santana (11-5, 3.00, 1.01, .222) vs Jose Contreras (9-2, 3.43, 1.18, .238)
Wed - 7:10 - Carlos Silva (5-9, 6.91, 1.65, .347) vs Mark Buehrle (9-8, 4.53, 1.36, .286)
Here is a quick look at how some of the White Sox hitters are faring:
Scott Podsednik hit a three run homer yesterday. It was his third homer of the season after not hitting even one last year until the playoffs. He also has just 29 stolen bases to this point in the season, far behind his usual rate. He is just three for his last twenty at bats.
Tadahito Iguchi hit his 11th homer yesterday. Even including that, he has just four hits in his last twenty at bats.
My Homey Jim Thome is having a great year. It is safe to say I was wrong about him. I know that Twins fans concern was his health, not only this season, but over the two years remaining on his contract. He has 32 homers and 81 RBI. However, he has gone just 2-17, or 4-25, of late.
Jermaine Dye - nothing bad you can say about him. I was wrong about him too. He is having an MVP-caliber season. Even after his 0-4 with four strikeouts yesterday, he is hitting .312 with 25 homers and 61 RBI.
AJ Pierznski is still hitting .300, barely (exactly). He is one for his last 19 and three for his last 27.
Joe Crede is a guy that I was actually right about. I predicted a bit of a breakout season for the 3B. He is hitting .297 with 20 homers and 64 RBI even after going 0-7 in the team's last two games.
Paul Konerko has missed parts of the last two games because of a stomach illness. In his past four games, he is 1-13, the lone hit being a home run. Actually, if you go back and look at his previous seven games, he is just 3-24, but all three hits have been homers.
Pablo Ozuna, a quality utility infielder and outfielder, has gone 0 for his last 16. And yet he is still hitting .365 on the year!
Juan Uribe has a six game hitting streak during which time he is 7-20 (.350). Although the quality fielding shortstop is hitting just .241, he has 12 homers and 50 RBI. Not bad for a 9 hitter!
Ozzie Guillen? Well, that guy is just a very interesting case study, I am sure, for some college theses! You just never know what is going to come out of his mouth.
Any thoughts on the series, please let me know! Send me an e-mail, or leave Comments below.
Throughout the year, our friend "Roger" is keeping tabs of the Twins minor leaguers. This year, he is coming up with a minor league hitter and pitcher each week. This week, he picked two guys who are very new to the organization! Feel free to comment! And don't forget to check out his weekly minor league update at Twinkie Town.
Player of the Week - Brandon Roberts, Ft. Myers Miracle
Brandon Roberts is the player the Twins received from the Reds organization for Juan Castro. This speedy centerfielder learned of the trade as he was about to leave for the Florida State League All-Star game when his Manager told him to bring everything with him because he wasn't returning to Sarasota. Brandon has been on fire recently including this past week when he was 13 for 24 with 3 walks, 4 doubles, 8 runs, 4 rbi and his 34th stolen base of the season.
Pitcher of the Week - Dan Leatherman, Elizabethton Twins
The Twins recently signed Leatherman, as a non drafted free agent out of the University of West Virginia. This polished pitcher began his Twins career in the GCL where he was recently named the Twins Minor League Player of the Week. Last week he was rewarded with a promotion to Elizabethton where he began his stay with another spotless week, appearing in 3 games with 7.0 shutout innings, allowing 3 hits and 5K/1BB. With this start it should only be a matter of a few weeks and Dan will likely be moving again to Beloit.
Friday SethSpeaks Player of the Day - Trevor Plouffe, Ft. Myers Miracle
Saturday SethSpeaks Player of the Day - Brandon Roberts, Ft. Myers Miracle
Sunday SethSpeaks Player of the Day - Greg Yersich, Elizabethton Twins
Friday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day - Danny Hernandez, GCL Twins
Saturday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day - Kyle Waldrop, Ft. Myers Miracle
Sunday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day - Eduardo Morlan, Beloit Snappers
Here are the weekend updates. If you have any thoughts on the Twins system, please e-mail me.
Friday - Red Wings 1, Louisville 5 - As Janet Jackson would sing, the reason for this loss was all about Control. Jason Miller started for the Red Wings and went just 3.1 innings. He gave up five runs on seven hits. However, he also had five walks to go with no strikeouts. Ricky Barrett came in and in 2.1 innings he didn't allow a hit but issued three free passes.

Tim Lahey recorded the save with 1.2 scoreless innings. Brock Peterson went 2-4 with his 12th double, fourth triple and two RBI. Trevor Plouffe added a triple.
Saturday - Miracle 11, Palm Beach 1 - Maybe it just took pitching in the Florida State League, but Kyle Waldrop is not only pitching well, but he is getting wins. But first, I need to mention that David Gassner made his second rehab start. He went the first three innings. He gave up two hits, but no runs (and no walks or strikeouts). Waldrop came in and went the next five innings. He did allow an unearned run, but he gave up just two hits. He walked three and struck out six to improve to 2-0. Ryan Callahan pitched a perfect ninth. Brandon Roberts went 2-4 with a walk and his second homer of the year. It was a grand slam. David Winfree went 2-4 with a walk and his sixth double.

David Shinskie came in and gave up a single to the one guy he faced to end the game.
Sunday - Snappers 5, Clinton 2 – Yohan Pino improved to 9-2 with five innings of work. He gave up two runs on four hits. He walked none and struck out five. Eduardo Morlan made another bullpen appearance. He gave up two hits and a walk but no runs in three innings. David Shinskie recorded his 6th save with a scoreless ninth.

Saturday - Game 1 - E-Twins 1, Pulaski 7 – Greg Yersich led the offense, going 2-3 with his second homer. Danny Valencia hit his second homer. Brian Kirwan started and gave up four runs in five innings. He allowed eight hits, but he walked none and struck out three. Brandon McConnell gave up three runs in the final two innings.
Saturday - Game 2 - E-Twins 1, Pulaski 7 – Danny Santiesteban scored the game winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 9th. He had led off that inning with his third hit of the game. He also had a double and his fourth stolen base. Garrett Olson went 2-4 with his first triple. Danny Valencia went 2-5 with his fourth double. Jeff Christy went 2-4. JW Wilson hit his 5th homer. Patrick Bryant got the start. He gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks in just 3.1 innings. He did strikeout four. Aaron Craig gave up a run in 1.2 innings. Dan Leatherman continues to impress. He struck out five and gave up just two hits in his four shutout innings to record the win.
Sunday - E-Twins 6, Pulaski 4 – Jose Cordero started and gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out six. Justin Staatz went two perfect innings for the win, and Danny Hernandez got his ninth save with a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

Upcoming EventSaturday, March 15, 2014 04:00 PM Powell's City of Books on Burnside, Portland, OR Jeffrey Masson's Beasts (Bloomsbury) is an eye-opening book about the animals at the top of the food chain and what they can teach us about the origins of good and evil in ourselves. Masson demonstrates that the violence we perceive in the "wild" is mostly a matter of projection, stripping away our misconceptions of the creatures we fear and offering a compelling look at our uniquely human propensity toward aggression. This event is sponsored by the Oregon Humane Society. See our full selection of signed editions from authors coming to Powell's Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Not since Darwin's The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals has a book so thoroughly and effectively explored the full rage of emotions that exist throughout the animal kingdom. Hailed as "a masterpiece" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, When Elephants Weep provides a complete and compelling picture of the inner lives of animals, and assures that we will never look at animals in the same way again.

[JURIST] A prosecutor argued at the opening of a much-anticipated [JURIST report] British court-martial [Wikipedia backgrounder] Monday that seven British paratroopers patrolling in southern Iraq in 2003 killed an Iraqi civilian and abused others after stopping a truck carrying them three weeks after hostilities had officially ended. Nadhem Abdullah was said to have beaten at the scene by the British soldiers "using their fists, their feet, their helmets and their rifles" and later died of his injuries on the way to hospital. The soldiers were never threatened or in any danger, said Michael Heslop, QC:
This is not a case of soldiers responding to an attack nor being required to defend themselves in an operational engagement. This was I am afraid to say nothing more than gratuitous violence meted out to a number of innocent and unarmed Iraqi civilians... These assaults were unjustified and wholly unprovoked.

Gary McPherson, current WVU senior director of development for the Mountaineer Athletic Club, was an assistant coach for Moran.
"I have great feelings for Curt," McPherson said. "As everyone knows, he was a great human being who did a great job for us.
"I'll always remember him running the length of the court after we won one at Virginia Tech we shouldn't have. He pulled himself up by the rim, straddled it and sat on the backboard. No one in Cassell Coliseum moved or said anything."
McPherson said Price wasn't a great shooter, but "banked one in from the corner - which is hard to do," to pull the Mountaineers within one in that 83-82 WVU victory in 1972.
At WVU, Price was more of a defensive specialist after suffering the knee problems.
"He never complained," McPherson said. "I remember him having to put ice on those knees. He was just a consummate team player and very mature. That's why he was successful in life. He kept the proper perspective.
"I thought the world of him. He was a great human."
After WVU, Price became the nation's youngest college coach (at age 21) by taking the basketball job at West Virginia State. He was named West Virginia Conference coach of the year before going back to school.
Within a year, though, then-Gov. Jay Rockefeller asked Price to become the state's first equal opportunity/affirmative action officer.
"His influence transcended generations," Richardson said.
After leaving state government, Price joined the Job Corps, which took him to stops like Cincinnati, Salt Lake City and New York before he returned to Charleston.
In regard to music, Price played with the group the King Sound Interpreters with Kai Haynes and Ivor Sheff and the Production Company with Sheff. While at WVU, he played with the Upsetters.
"I can remember playing a game for WVU and going to the Holiday Inn and playing a dance," Price told the Gazette in 2008. "In walks Stevie Wonder and his entourage. He asked if it was OK to sit in and play drums."
Price was well rounded - and very well respected.
"He was one of the best people I ever met in life," Phillips said. "I'm not just saying that. He was just selfless. He was the reason I got a college degree. He stayed on my back. In my community, he helped everyone, whether financially or with his expertise."
"He was my childhood hero and my adult friend," Richardson said. "Just a very, very special person."
Price is survived by wife Judy and daughters Michelle and Tia.

Women wearing nylon masks waded in the water at a beach in Qingdao, in China's Shandong province, on Friday. The mask, invented about seven years ago, is intended to block the damaging effects of the sun.
A woman relaxed in the sand wearing a purple mask. Now in mass production, the mask is on sale at local swimwear stores.
Women prepared to go for a swim wearing their masks. The masks are still rare on the beach, with more swimmers sticking with good old sunscreen—or perhaps nothing at all.
But women of a certain age seem to appreciate its protection.
Nose and mouth holes make masked swimming easy.

Our MA Applied Linguistics is designed for people who want to know more about how foreign or second languages (particularly English) are learned, and how different kinds of classroom practice might affect proficiency. You will learn about different approaches to understanding language and language acquisition, and we will teach you the methods that can be used to investigate language learning and teaching. All students take modules that deal with Language Learning, and the Methods used for investigating language learning/teaching. You choose 'module options' to build a customised course that directly meets your individual needs. Examples of options that are currently available are Second Language Vocabulary: Learning, Teaching and Use; The Role of Age in Bilingual Development; Teaching and Learning Grammar; Foundations of CALL; Literature and Language Teaching; and Individual Differences in L2 learning. You will also write a dissertation on a topic of your choice. This is written between April and September. If you want to develop your understanding of language and language acquisition then this course is for you. You will improve your skills in researching, research design and essay writing. Our MA Applied Linguistics can lead you to a variety of careers including academia, journalism, teaching and public speaking. Please note that this course is also available on a part-time basis.
Our Department of Language and Linguistics offers you an outstanding teaching and research environment. In the 2012 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey we received 87 percent overall satisfaction. At Essex you will experience a stimulating, but informal environment giving you many possibilities to pursue your own interests. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, December 2008), we were rated as producing the highest proportion of world-leading linguistics research of any university in the UK. This means you will be taught, supported and supervised by staff with an international reputation for being at the forefront of research in a wide range of areas. We provide you with the ideal environment for your studies. We have a strong research group culture and run a weekly Departmental Seminar, which regularly features eminent outside speakers.
As a student on this course you will be able to take advantage of our extensive learning resources, including laboratories of networked computers. You will have access to our Albert Sloman Library which has a vast range of books and journals as well as more networked computers. Our Linguistics resource centre has four labs which will enhance your study. These encompass; a Eye tracking lab allowing you to monitor eye movement while performing tasks, a Psycholinguistics lab measuring how long it takes to react to words, texts and sounds, a 'Visual World' Experimental lab recording response times and eye movements when presented with pictures and videos and a Linguistics lab which has specialist equipment to analyse sound.
A Masters course is an academically rigorous programme during which you explore your subject in depth, reaching a high level of specialist knowledge. You draw on knowledge and skills from your undergraduate study or your professional life to produce work of a high academic standard, informed by current thinking and debate. A full-time Masters course lasts for twelve months, starting in October, and consists of taught modules during your autumn and spring terms, and normally a research-based dissertation or other project-based work submitted in September. A part-time Masters course lasts for 24 months, normally starting in October, and consists of taught modules spread out over two years, with normally a research-based dissertation or other project-based work submitted in September of the second year. Each of the taught modules you take in the Department of Language and Linguistics counts for 15 credits. The total credit weighting for a Masters course is 180: 120 for taught modules and 60 for the MA dissertation. (If you are from the EU, then our Masters courses are regarded as 'second-cycle' qualifications under the Bologna Declaration and consist of 90 ECTS credits).

Your postgraduate study at Essex gives you an opportunity to develop your own ideas and interests, and to engage with thinking at the leading edge of your subject as part of the research community in our Department of Language and Linguistics, and our wider academic and professional community. As a student of linguistics your teaching mainly takes the form of lectures, practical demonstrations and teaching yourself. Assessment for modules taught by the Department of Language and Linguistics is typically involves written coursework, class tests and practical testing. Most modules that you will take will involve only coursework as assessment. During the summer, you will work on a dissertation that's included in your final grade.
Our courses are designed to provide you with an advanced knowledge of contemporary theory, develop your research skills and build practical skills. The modules you take employ a variety of teaching methods with lectures that inform you, demonstrations that teach you skills and learning by teaching to develop your skills you learned through demonstrations. Our courses include both compulsory and optional modules, so the course can be tailored to fit your interests and aspirations.
If you are taking a Graduate or Postgraduate Diploma you do not need to do a dissertation. If you are taking a Masters course, your 16,000-word dissertation allows you to focus in depth on your chosen topic from April onwards. This enables you to gain an in depth knowledge of an area that interests you, with close supervision by a member of staff within our Department.
Our Department of Language and Linguistics has a strong research group culture. We run a weekly departmental seminar, attended by both staff and students. These give you exposure to cutting-edge research on topical issues, provide a role model for your own presentations and give you the opportunity to meet up with speakers and discuss your own research and ideas with them.
Given the breadth of our provision within our Department of Language and Linguistics, career prospects for our graduates vary depending on the study undertaken. For example, many of our MA courses connect you with careers in computing, language disorders/speech therapy and management. From most of our taught courses there is a natural progression to PhD study, using the research training in your MA. Often the career destination is university lecturing or research. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the areas of linguistics we cover, this could be in departments of English, linguistics, education, sociology or even cognitive science. Other careers our postgraduates have gone on to, where the generic skills they acquired with us are also valued, include publishing, social work, administration, retail and public speaking.
A postgraduate qualification is a major achievement and greatly valued by employers. Recent surveys show that higher degree graduates are more likely to obtain jobs at professional or managerial level and less likely to be unemployed. For some jobs a postgraduate qualification may be essential, for others it offers a competitive edge. Our graduates go into a variety of jobs, where the key employability skills and knowledge they have gained through postgraduate study are put to good use. Our Languages for All programme lets you study a language, alongside your course, at no extra cost. You can take one of 50 taught language modules on a part-time day-time basis, or undertake flexible web-based learning, or opt for a language module taught in the evening. As employers can struggle to find graduates able to speak more than one language, Languages for All places Essex graduates in a very advantageous position. If you achieve your Masters, you may wish to extend your knowledge with a research degree and many who graduate from Essex choose to stay here for research study. Some of our Masters may be taken as the first part of an Integrated PhD, leading to your PhD after a further three years of full-time study.
Our University has a range of support services designed to help you to achieve your full potential and get the most out of your studies. These form a co-ordinated network of support, and are an important part of your overall student experience at Essex. Our staff operate an 'open door' policy so are available to discuss any concerns with you throughout the year.
Within our Department of Language and Linguistics, we offer supervision for PhD and MPhil. Comprising 24 academic staff, we offer teaching and research supervision in: language acquisition, language learning and language teaching; culture and communication; psycholinguistics; language disorders; sociolinguistics; and theoretical and descriptive linguistics.
Our applicants should have an Upper Second Class Honours degree, or equivalent, in relevant subject. If English is not your first language, then we require IELTS 6.5 with 6 in writing or TOEFL iBT88.

Architonic and Designboom launch strategic alliance
Architonic and Designboom launch strategic alliance
"It is our aim to provide readers and the market with an efficient and high-quality environment for research, inspiration and communication. To this end, Architonic and Designboom are a perfect match because they complement each other both in terms of content and geography"...
...This statement from Designboom co-founder Birgit Lohmann sums up neatly our vision for this strategic alliance. Each of the two companies, which will continue to operate autonomously, is an international market leader in its own particular area of expertise – put quite simply, Architonic as a product database and Designboom as online architecture and design magazine.
Architonic as product database and Designboom as architecture and design magazine are international market leaders in their respective areas of expertise
Intelligent linking
The core of the cooperation is the integration of content from the Architonic product database into Designboom's editorial content. As a result, for the 4 million readers that Designboom enjoys every month, their daily update of news from the worlds of architecture, design and art is enhanced by details of the latest products and materials from all around the world. This opens up additional markets and channels of communication for the over 1,000 manufacturers who already present their products on Architonic. With immediate effect, five new products from each of these manufacturers are now also presented daily on Designboom. If they wish, Designboom members are able to have their entire Architonic product range appear in the Designboom Product Library. The product data is kept up-to-date, of course, on a centralised, daily basis via the Architonic database.
At the core of the collaboration is the integration of content from Architonic's product database into Designboom's editorial content
Shared values
Shared values and visions are the most important basis for the alliance. For example, the founders of both companies come from within their respective industries. Before establishing Designboom, Birgit Lohmann and Massimo Mini worked as designers with masters such as Achille Castiglioni, Enzo Mari and Vico Magistretti, while the two Architonic founders, Nils Becker and Tobias Lutz, studied architecture under teachers such as Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind. It is therefore not surprising that, thanks to their highly selective choice of content, both portals enjoy a high level of credibility on the design and architecture scene. A further vital precondition for this is that, to the present day, both companies are owner-operated and independent, and can thus concentrate on sustainable long-term development rather than short-term profits. To put it in a nutshell, the alliance is based on a shared commitment to quality content, daily inspiration, efficient working instruments and a passion for the cause.
The data in the product library is kept up-to-date on a centralised, daily basis via the Architonic database
Pioneers within their individual disciplines
This strategy has clearly paid off: Designboom, which is located in Milan, has been online since 1999, while next year Architonic will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in Zurich. Both companies are pioneers in their individual fields. However, the most important indicator of success are the readers themselves. In the case of Designboom, an annual 48 million visitors generate a total of 96 million page views – in other words two per visit. On the research resource Architonic, each reader generates six page views, so, with 16 million readers a year in total, this also means 96 million page views annually.
Architonic and Designboom complement each other perfectly in terms of the geographic spread of their readership, producing a perfectly balanced, international mix
Complementing each other perfectly
In addition, Architonic and Designboom are also a perfect match in terms of the geographic distribution of their readers. While 70% of Architonic's readership is Europe-based, 50% of Designboom readers come from America and 20% from Asia. As a result, the cooperation between the two partners has the effect of doubling their coverage, with a combined geographic distribution of 40% Europe, 40% America and 20% Asia representing a perfectly balanced mix for global communication.

Tim Holt's first western release for 1952 was Trail Guide. Tim (Holt) and his perennial saddle pal Chito Rafferty (Richard Martin) are hired to shepherd a wagon train to Arizona. Our Heroes end up protecting the travellers from a vicious ban of land-usurpers. Halfway through the proceedings, Tim and Chito are framed for murder and slated for a "necktie party," but things turn out in their favor. Trail Guide introduced a new leading lady to the RKO fold, Linda Douglas. Though the Tim Holt series had once been a cash cow for RKO, Trail Guide ended up $50,000 in the red, indication enough that the era of the "B"-western was drawing to a close. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

And all the things you mentioned, wheel, of course matter. Just not as effective.
You're wrong.
You know the funny thing about panda? The serps for my niche are dominated by brands - but I'm write in there. What do you think a consumer sees when they see the serps with a list of brand names they know from TV....and my little 'ole site? They think I'm a brand - and that is relaying huge authority. And I don't do any of the branding signals you mentioned - I do my branding online. I am branded in the 'TV/conferences' equivalent on the internet.
In fact, I am now getting feedback from clients about how great my site is, trust, they called because I know what I'm doing, etc.
So let's not propogate the myth that this can't be done or isn't effective. It CAN be done and IS being done. If you're not doing it, don't point the finger at Google. The fault lies entirely with you.

It is the applicant's responsibility to make arrangements for this experience at one or multiple facilities; you should print copies of the form and submit the evaluation(s) as part of your application materials.
Applicants are expected to exhibit skills in accessing resources in order to job shadow with occupational therapists. Exploring different organizations such as: school systems, hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, skilled nursing facilities, mental health programs, pediatric clinics, etc. provides a wide range of experiences to the applicant. It is recommended that candidates shadow in more than one occupational therapy practice area. Scheduling of job shadowing appointments with OTs should commence well in advance of the application deadline since shadowing forms must be submitted for the application to be considered completed, and Practioners need advanced time to accomodate shadow requests.
8. Completion of the application requirements does not guarantee admission into the program. Admission is based on a comparative evaluation of the applicants' materials to determine elgibilty for an interview. MOT candidates who complete an application by October 1, 2014, AND who are approved to proceed through admissions, will be invited to interview. The interview is the final admissions requirement by invitation. It may be possible to arrange a telephone interview with the committee.
9. Upon being accepted into the program, students must be prepared to demonstrate that they are in good health as evidenced by a physical examination, including specific immunizations, prior to their fieldwork assignments.
10. Students admitted to the MOT Program acknowledge that:
A) A deposit of $200.00 is required to be matriculated into the MOT program and deferral of seats is not allowed.
B) Successful completion of the program requires a minimum of six months of full-time fieldwork which may necessitate temporary relocation outside the student's local area.
C) Students will be expected to actively participate in the Student OT Association (SOTA) which is involved with various community projects throughout the Program.
D) Students may be obligated to provide a State of Maine criminal background check, and/or if the student has been convicted of a felony, certification and/or licensure may be denied.
11. If you are applying for financial aid, your financial aid form (FAFSA) should be mailed by February 1 to ensure the best possible financial aid package. Applicants should complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The University of Southern Maine's federal id code is 009762.

We knew it! After a while--like, say, ages 13 to 30--food guilt can start to get old. And over time, any kind hyper-vigilance just seems to have a counteractive effect. You watch your calories constantly, and the next thing you know, you've gained five pounds.
Now, a new study shows your instincts are right.
Related: 21 Ways to Burn Fat Faster
Researchers from the University of Canterbuy asked 300 adults whether they associated chocolate cake with guilt or celebration. The 27 percent who chose guilt had neither more positive attitudes about healthy eating nor greater intentions to improve their diet, but they did turn out to be less successful in losing weight over three months.

10:31 AM ET 09.08 | Hanley Ramirez says he's having a blast playing for the Dodgers, calling his teammates "unbelievable" and Matt Kemp a great team leader. He says his repaired shoulder is allowing him to play at 100%, proclaiming overall, "I'm different now. "Everything that I have heard said about me has only made me stronger; even though the L.A. fans knew what was out there and being said about me they still accepted me. I want to prove myself to them so from now on they'll have my back and let everyone know, you don't talk about Hanley like that." For those who question his attitude, he says he's all about winning.
He's behaved himself so far, but you have to feel like he's a ticking time bomb.

I think he's in a good spot. He's not the star on that team, just another player. The burden of having to carry the whole team has been lifted, and now he can just go out and play.
Han Ram is a turd.
Just wanted to see that twice.
He's behaved himself so far, but you have to feel like he's a ticking time bomb.
perhaps inLA the team would fix anything wrong with this infielder,,,

He has had a good month; but it is the next couple of years that will tell. Glad he has gotten a fresh start, hope he doesn't waste it.
Every guy who ever came up before a parole board has said the same thing.

He's an arrogant prick. "You don't talk about Hanley like that." Whatever. He is a ticking time bomb, though, and it's only a matter of time before his not being the center of attention gets to him and he starts acting out.

geez, he didn't kill anyone, he deserves a second chance.....
seems like the laughter in boston gets louder every time the super stars do nothing. boston sure found a way to screw the dodgers and the high salaries. also, as soon as the dodgers run out of luck, they will be in the basement for looong time. this hot dogs they have are next to worhtless. rich, but worthless.

text: The Hero and I had ups and downs financially. When Valentine's Day came around, we usually made it a special day for our 6 children, leaving little for us. We developed the tradition of going to the card section after collecting what we were getting for the children, and scouring the cards for what we felt expressed our feelings. Then we would each show the other what we would have bought for them. It was a special feeling, and sometimes we found some funnies too. What I loved the best was when he would write a poem for me or one of the children. He was a special dad and husband, we send him our love on Valentines Day...a sweetheart to never be forgotten.

I wanted to run this by before I beat myself up trying to do it. I will be viewing single page .dwfs. On the OnEndLoadItem event I would like to remove all markup objects that may be on the dwf, and then using Content3 and Object3 Move through all of the objects on the dwf and programmatically draw markup objects using the extents I can get from Object3.
Is this possible? Or a resonable approach? This will provide some visual feed back on load for me.
Let me know if this sounds ok.
My Logical Flow would be like this.
Set ObjectContent to Section.Content as IAdContent3
If ObjectContent HasMarkups
Make Sure All Markup objects are not locked.
Then Delete All Markups
For each object in the section
Get the object extents
Get the object properties 'For my use in the application
Look Up some values in a database using the object properties
Create a markup object the size of the object extents and fill a cetain color basked on the lookup values.
I hope this helps... Let me know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
In the step "Make Sure All Markup objects are not locked" Where is this setting.
In looking in the API documentation I do not see that as a property of a markup object.
I only see .Status and .Note and under enum Status, there is nothing for locked.
The code :
Set CompositeViewer = CExpressViewerControl1.ECompositeViewer
Set Section = CompositeViewer.Section
Set ObjectContent = Section.Content
Set MyObjects = ObjectContent.Objects(2)
If ObjectContent.HasMarkups Then
ObjectContent.DeleteMarkups MyObjects
End If
Works fine as long as the Markup Objects are not locked. How can I set them to unlocked?
Thank you for your question.
Autodesk Design Review currently does not support to unlock markup(s) via API.
I've added your requirement to our WISHLIST database. We will consider it for possible inclusion in future releases.
Is there a way to create Markup Objects via the API?
like to get the extents of an object and then create a markup object using that iadRect and fille with a green highlighter or something along those lines?
Thank you for your question.
No, we don't have any API for creating markups.

Study: Junk food laws may help curb kids' obesity
CHICAGO (AP) - A new study says laws curbing the sale of junk food and sweet drinks could play a role in slowing childhood obesity.
The study, released online Monday in the journal Pediatrics, found that although the effects weren't huge, children gained less weight from fifth through eighth grades if they lived in states with strong, consistent laws versus no laws governing snacks available in schools.
Also, children overweight or obese in fifth grade were more likely to reach a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the strongest laws.
The study analyzed data on 6,300 students in 40 states.
Daniel Taber from the University of Illinois at Chicago is the lead author of the study.
He says the results show that "for these laws to be effective, they need to be consistently strong in all grades."
