The Cubs were potentially moving in on one of the free-agent market's top arms on Thursday evening, with USA Today reporting the club had agreed to a five-year contract with right-hander Anibal Sanchez.
However, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports and MLB Network tweeted that Sanchez is still talking to other teams and the Tigers continue to be involved, according to Sanchez's agent, Gene Mato.
The Cubs would not comment on the reports, and sources told MLB.com on Thursday that no deal had been finalized with Sanchez.
Sanchez went 9-13 with a 3.86 ERA in 31 starts last season, which he began with the Marlins before a July 23 trade sent him to the Tigers. He then posted a 1.77 ERA in three postseason outings as Detroit advanced to the World Series.
A native of Venezuela, Sanchez will turn 29 in February and would figure to fit at the top of the Cubs' rotation, along with Matt Garza and Jeff Samardzija. The club already signed Scott Baker and Scott Feldman this offseason, and also has lefty Travis Wood.
The Tigers, who gave up highly touted pitching prospect Jacob Turner in a package for Sanchez and infielder Omar Infante, were thought to be one of the front-runners for his services.
Sanchez was signed by the Red Sox in 2001 and debuted with the Marlins in 2006, throwing a no-hitter that September. After some earlier injury problems, Sanchez has made 95 starts over the last three seasons, going 30-34 with a 3.70 ERA and averages of 8.1 strikeouts and 2.8 walks per nine innings.

2. Weedless Ballyhoo
Anglers quickly tire of picking weeds off their baits in areas of heavily scattered sargassum and often head off in search of cleaner waters. Yet those in the know stick it out, especially if bait abounds underneath the grass mats.
In such a situation, I deploy a spread of weedless ballyhoo, which are similarly rigged to the large ballyhoo baits outlined previously. The main difference is that the hook point is inverted back into the bait, where it won't snag weeds, and the wire tag that usually sticks up through the bait's bill is reversed so it points down into the bait. Thus, the bait is rigged much like a plastic bass worm. To rig it, run the hook point through the ballyhoo's gill slit and immediately out its throat. Pull most of the hook shank through, and then reverse the hook point and insert it back into the bait. Once the hook is positioned where it's not binding, push the pin rig through both jaws of the bait and secure the bait and hook with a strand of Monel wire. To do this, pass the wire through the bait's eyes and then make several tight wraps around the head, behind and in front of the pin, and all the way down, finishing with a couple of wraps on the leader.
Add a small skirt over the nose of the ballyhoo to deflect weeds from its bill, and scale the bait's midsection and belly near where the hook point is resting; this will "soften" the bait and facilitate the hook's pulling out and latching into a fish during the strike. Your best bet is to free-spool the bait on the strike and let the fish consume it.

Cruise Ship dock at Ajaccio, Corsica
Musée Fesch
The Musée Fesch displays an incredible collection of Renaissance art, with paintings by Titian, Raphael, Bellini, Veronese, Botticelli and many others. The works were amassed by Napoleon's step-uncle, a bishop of Lyon, who used his position to buy hundreds of fine paintings, some of them looted by the army from Italy and Holland. You'll find the Musée Fesch just inland from the cruise dock.
Ajaccio's market is busy, colorful, aromatic, and stacked with all kinds of local foodstuffs such as plum and myrtle liqueur, wild-pig sausages, ewe's cheese, and rich honey comb. Corsica is covered with an impenetrable pungent shrubbery called maquis, which is full of herbs like rosemary, sage, mint and thyme, and berries like juniper, bilberry and eucalyptus. So it's no wonder that the local food is so tasty. The Market is in the square behind Hôtel de Ville, about 200 metres south (left as you come off) of the cruise pier, just inland.
Place de Foch
The attractive city square Place Foch lies in at the center of the old town. At the top of the square see an impressive marble statue of Napoleon, atop a fountain of four lions. A smaller but no less interesting sculpture is that of Ajaccio's patron saint La Madonnuccia, occupying a niche high in a nearby wall. The effigy dates from 1656 when the local government, fearful of infection spreading from plague-ridden Italy, placed the town in the Madonna's protection. The Place de Foch is a minute's walk past the market place.
Maison Bonaparte
One of the greatest figures of history, Napoleon Bonaparte, was born in the Maison Bonaparte in 1769. He left his family home at the age of 9 to go to school in France, but returned often, even after joining the army. The house has now been converted to a museum, displaying memorabilia from the life and times of the great man. The Maison Bonaparte is just inland from the (easy-to-see) Citadel, about half-a-mile from the cruise ship dock.
St Francois Beach
Under the southern walls of the Citadel lies pretty St Francois beach, an ideal place to while away a sunny day. The sand shelves gently into the sea, great for swimming.

In his State of the Commonwealth address Wednesday night, Gov. Deval Patrick proposed raising the state's income tax by 1 percentage point and lowering the sales tax to pay for $2 billion in transportation improvements and early childhood education programs.
"There is no good time to raise taxes. I know how tough the times have been on the people and families of the Commonwealth. And though the worst of the recession is over, many, many families still face tough decisions and have deep anxiety about the future. I would not ask if I did not believe in my heart that investing meaningfully today in education and transportation will significantly improve our economic tomorrows," Patrick said.
Patrick said he wanted a more fair and comprehensive tax system that lowers the sales tax to 4.5 percent and raises the income tax to 6.25 percent. He added that he wants the proceeds to be dedicated to a public works fund that will support the transportation plan.
"Under my plan, sales tax proceeds would be off limits for any other purpose," Patrick said.
To make the burden lighter on those who make less money, the governor said he'd like to double the personal exemptions and eliminate a number of itemized deductions.
The proposed tax hike seeks to pay for $2 billion in education and transportation improvement the governor wants.
The education spending would include funding high-quality early education and K-12 education, investment in public colleges and universities, and the re-invigoration of the MassGrants scholarship program.
For transportation improvements, the governor envisions "a bus or subway that came on time, was safe and comfortable and ran until a student at UMass Boston or a worker in a downtown tower finished up at 1 or 2 in the morning." He also spoke of faster commuter rails, a Green Line that goes to Medford, commuter lines that reached the western part of the state and an improved highway system.
"The people we work for want the schools I have described; they want the rail and road services we have laid out; and above all they want the opportunity and growth these investments will bring. We on their behalf have choices to make. I choose growth," Patrick said.
What do you think? Is the choice between higher taxes and growth, and lower taxes and stagnation? Do you support the tax increase? Tell us in the comments below.

The Tumi Difference
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Easy Glide Wheels
Our state-of-the-art in-line wheels incorporate sealed steel ball bearings and are mounted on solid steel axles in custom-designed, shock-absorbing bushings. They roll smoothly and quietly for hundreds of miles.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
FXT Ballistic Nylon®
Tumi was the first to bring ballistic nylon to the consumer market over 30 years ago. Now we have perfected it with our exclusive FXT ballistic fabric, which combines a unique weave and a special coating to make it ultra-tough and virtually abrasion proof.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.

Kentucky Wildcats Basketball 2014-2015 News and Updates
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – With the exception of last year, Coach John Calipari has taken his Wildcats to at least the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament every season. And while the highly regarded freshman class may not be living up to expectations as a whole, Kentucky is not to be counted out of a deep tourney run. Proof of that came Saturday against Missouri. While the final score may not have told the real story here, the team – not five individuals – did. As a collective unit, the Kentucky Wildcats are a dangerous team! Support the Cats in the final four regular season games at Rupp Arena, two of which will come against teams who have already outscored the Cats earlier in the season. Kentucky Wildcats tickets against the Florida Gators are the most expensive of the bunch, averaging $344 while Wildcats tickets versus the LSU Tigers are a mere $127.
1/3/14 - After recruiting some of the most sought after freshman, Kentucky's highly touted roster has hit a few snags in the road earlier this season. Julius Randle has shown great maturity and skill in his consistent play, but the Harrison twins and James Young were still struggling with cohesion up until the biggest college basketball game of the season, when Kentucky took on Louisville rivals at Rupp Arena this past weekend. The national champ showdown between two storied schools provided a stunning outcome as the Cats defeated the Cards 73-66 for their first win against a ranked team this season, and one with considerably more experience. With their most convincing win yet, the Wildcats are on the road to taking the SEC, and proved to themselves and devoted fans, that if they work together, the No. 1 seed is positively attainable. With an improved 10-3 record heading into Southeastern Conference play, the rookie team is finally hitting its stride, gearing up for Missouri, Tennessee and
on their schedule. Kentucky Wildcats tickets start at $43 in the Upper Level and reach upwards of $188 in the Lower Level when KU tackles their first division opponents in the New Year, the Mississippi State Bulldogs, on January 8. Score KU basketball tickets today and ensure the boys a winning start to their SEC season!

2013-2014 Season
Head coach John Calipari, known as the best recruiter in college basketball, "hit the jackpot" in 2013 with his five-star freshman recruits, a set that quickly became known as the best freshman class on paper in NCAAB history. The Wildcats have the most all-time wins and

gardening question
I was wondering what everyone does with the garden at the end of the season. Do you plow the plants under or let them die and plow them later or pull the stuff up and disacard it somewhere else.
Re: gardening question
Once we've picked the last of the the squash and pumpkins, the goats have it to themselves. I have a couple rolls of 60" high concrete mesh wire and a bunch of metal posts to make a quick fence. There won't be much left.
Also 3 compost bins.

Re: gardening question
Not trying to be smart, but the answer is "Yes." Many different ways to dispose of the vegetative material, and each has advantages and disadvantages. As a general rule, the more organic matter that you can add to the soil the better. As with all 'general rules,' there are exceptions. If the garden were mine, I would chop the residue, plow it under, and seed a cover crop to be used as green manure (plowed under) next spring.
Here is a publication from the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension that sheds some light on your question. http://www.caes.uga.edu/applications/publications/files/pdf/B%20577_2.PDF
Hope this helps. As an aside, there are numerous professors at Land Grant Universities that have built 30+ year careers answering various different parts of the question you asked. They might answer your question with, "It depends....."

Re: gardening question
I thought I had read somewhere that you are not suppose to plow under the tomatoe plants for some reason. Is that true or am I mistaken.
Re: gardening question
You can plow the tomatoes under, however, do not plant tomatoes on the same soil the following year. Rotate your tomatoes around the garden (divide the garden into quarters and rotate such that you will not be planting tomatoes there again until the fourth year.

Re: gardening question
I just plow it under 18 inches deep and by spring there is nothing but nice clean ground to surface till and plant into!! thanks; sonny
Re: gardening question
I haul my old tomatoe vines off to the lower forty away from garden, rye grass was thrown into tomatoes while we were harvesting them, when vines come off rye is already growing, same thing with sweet corn except corn stocks get chopped. Rest of garden gets rye as old plants come off. In late October spray with Round Up, plow under when rye is dead. Been doing this for a long time, sure keeps soil in great shape.
Re: gardening question
I mow my garden down with the flail when each part is finished, then when the last is done I plow it all under, but only about 8 inches deep. If I tried to go 18 inches deep like Sonny, all I would have is hard pan consisting of red clay and rock. I mow my tomatoes down with the rest of it, but like Bill Hudson, my tomatoes go in a different part of the garden each year. It takes 4 or 5 years to get around to the same place again. I have thought about a cover crop, but prefer to leave the ground rough, it dries quicker in the spring, and since our garden is in a normally wet spot that is needed.
edit, forgot to mention, my garden is 50 x 120, so there is lots of room to rotate.

Re: gardening question
I have a sandy loam. All plants are removed and with the exception of corn stalks are burned. The corn stalks are tossed out back. I use a 4 inch chopped grass mulch which is tilled in somewhat in the fall. As long as soil is mixed in it will rot by spring well enough to till in then. (Pictures of the mulching have been previously posted and are in the photo host under vern 709) It takes about 2 acres to mulch my 50x50 main garden. The vine garden is a permanent mulch. Remember when rotating tomatoes that potatoes are a very close relative and they should not follow each other. When I worked in a green house and a customer asked this type of question I always asked why. If whatever you are doing works why change? If there is a problem the change needs to address that. If I read your question right you are just wondering. Good gardening. Vern
Re: gardening question
I have a new garden area with tomatoes and wanted to know what to do with them. I pulled them up last yeat so I will do it again and till undr the rest
Re: gardening question
There have been a lot of good answers and ideas given, but in my neck of the woods it boils down to: how much time I have and how wet fall is. Cleaning the garden off falls between silage chopping and bean harvest, and all old farmers know that means plenty of rain. John
Re: gardening question
We mulch all year with ours and 4 neighbors grass clippings. Most disappear through the year. All 5 yards leafs are spread on the garden or on a compost pile in the fall and turned over in the spring. Been doing this on a 30 by 50 garden since 1959. Staten island is the red brick clay that we have on the north shore or sand on most of the south shore. The soil is now nice rich black loam.
Tomato vines and squash plants are thrown out. Tomato, Eggplant and pepper are related so we plant them in a different spot on a 3 year rotation because the asparagus is in the same spot since before I retired in 1985 and still producing very well.

Re: gardening question
All garden growth is potential fertlizer, so everything except diseased plants are chopped (mowed) and plowed under.

Re: gardening question
I am gonna try something different this year. I have some hardpan about 6-8 inches deep. So hard the plow wont take to it. I have ordered some daikon radish seeds, to plant as a fall cover crop. It should bring in the deer (to fill the freezer) and the large tubers grow fast and deep to break up the hard soil. They also mine nutrients from deep within the soil and store it in their root (the edible part) I am going to let it frost kill over the winter, and then turn it all in with the plow next spring (early) By time to plant, most of it should be decayed. I think this will help my soil more than anything. I am also gonna be spreading my tons of fall leaves on the garden this year.
I'll be drinking that free bubble up, and eatin that rainbow stew.
Re: gardening question
I am lucky to have two acres outback for grass clippings and like beaconlight have found it helps soil fertility. It also helps with water rentition. A word of caution to anyone considering this. You might want to have second thoughts about using clippings from any lawn treated with weed-n-feed. My brother-in-law did this for several years and had problems mostly with germination of everything except corn ie: grass. Vern

Dennis, I like it, but as Ron says the logo is cut off at the top. I thought maybe it was because of the messages at the bottom and the logo would right itself once the messages were gone???????? Pete
It could be a browser formatting issue. Can those of you with the 'cutoff' logo post your browser & version? i.e. IE v6, Firefox v1.x or Firefox v2.x, etc.....
I've only tested it with IE v7 and Firefox v2.x...

KrisPaterson's curator insight, August 14, 1:57 AM
And I would add the excellent Docklands library of City of Melbourne.
Dick Vestdijk's curator insight, April 25, 8:01 AM
Un-biasing queries for information and subsequent results, is indeed the goal of any librarian in public education. Whatever EBSCO, Ex Libris et al state, searching relevant information is by and large un-automatable. Keyword is curation - an ongoing activity to keep curated academic content useful. ""unlike almost anything that libraries have done before," the rollout of one-stop search tools is "really intentionally trying to change the way people do research," says Michael Levine-Clark"
Sharrock's curator insight, April 29, 10:23 AM
from the article: "Ms. Morse belongs to a group, the Open Discovery Initiative, which unites various players to promote transparency and best practices for discovery tools. In the emerging conversations around this topic, one buzz phrase is "content neutrality." The idea resembles "net neutrality," the notion that network operators shouldn't block or favor certain content. Proponents of content neutrality argue that discovery providers should have equal access to the information needed to surface content in the search tools' results. That information includes things like the full text of journal articles and the "metadata" that describe the articles, such as the author, subject, journal title and publication date."
Karen du Toit's curator insight, August 12, 5:23 AM
The importance of play in the development of children! Definitely should be addressed by libraries!
Karen du Toit's curator insight, August 12, 5:27 AM
The case of the library as office space! Definitely the library of the future! There should be a work-around between the library loyalists and the library as community space enthusiasts!
Doug Mirams's curator insight, July 21, 8:23 AM
Planned library includes a Scandinavian-inspired "taster" area, "unobtrusive and relaxed", described by thejournal.ie
Ashok Kumar's curator insight, May 1, 12:14 AM
"A good local library is not just about borrowing books or storing physical artefacts. A good public library is a showroom for culture and learning. It's a place that celebrates creativity, encourages exploration and discovery, helps people to work productively, and provides community engagement and empowerment."

Mack Dawg Private Screening
The Oakley Snow and Alternative Marketing teams were in full swing all day yesterday preparing for the "private screening" of Mack Dawg's two latest films. It you aren't familiar with Mack Dawg Productions, it's basically the genius that is snowboarding today. Coming off their 19th year of making snowboard films, the anticipation was high for what these two movies.
Oakley's Matty Swanson, Chris Hotell, Liam Barrett and Chelsea Jurgensen worked all day long preparing for 400 industry riders, media and friends who would soon descend upon Oakley headquarters. As the day wore on, the list grew larger and by 6pm the line to get in stretched to the valet area. Sammy Luebke, Heikki Sorsa, Eero Ettala, Aaron Bittner and many more riders from the film showed up with their crews and significant others.
Around 8:30 the first film, "We're People Too", kicked things off in Oakley's amphithatre. It was a huge hut, with everyone cheering loudly for the banger parts. One could feel a true appreciation from the crowd for what the riders and film crews put into the past season's filming.
The stand out part had to be Bryan Fox—this guy is an animal. To say he slays it would be the understatement of this article. Plus, he's entertaining. For example, after a police officer shouts down a rail session, Bryan calmly walks up to the officer and asks, "Could you supervise this? My parents felt a lot better when there was supervision while I was doing crazy stuff."
Other standout segments included Flippio Kratter (Oakley Regional Rider) and his crazy style and Austin Smith's closing part in the backcountry.
After a quick intermission for everyone to refuel on Budweiser or Smartwater, everyone headed back in for the grand finale.
"I am stoked to see it," said JJ Thomas before the start of the film. "This film always seems to set the standard for everyone each season."
Picture This started out with a fun skit, some sick animation and super slow frame rate shots, making for a unique snowboard video intro.
As the movie rolled on, it was obvious Dawger, Kramer and the crew had delivered again. KP (Kevin Pearce) and Shaun White showcased an epic night session in the Superpipe at Northstar. Eero's ridiculous segment displayed his snowboarding skills as only Eero Ettala can. And Heikki Sorsa and Aaron Bittner also had some banger parts, which were a combo of sick backcountry shredding and top-notch urban rail riding.
All in all, the evening was a huge success. People were stoked, the films rocked and the season is officially underway with ASR kicking off tonight in sunny San Diego.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (November 30, 2011) – Santa's not the only one who likes milk and cookies. His helpers like them too.
On Wednesday, December 14 from 11:30 – 2 p.m. Hudson Valley Hospital Center staff will bake chocolate chip and sugar cookies in special ovens right in the main lobby and serve them with ice cold milk. It's all for a good cause: to raise funds for Santa's Helpers, an HVHC program that buys holiday gifts for needy children. A holiday sing-a-long will be held from 12-12:30 and all are welcome.
The elves at Hudson Valley Hospital Center started this year's fundraising on July 29 and are continuing to raise funds right down to the wire. The Hospital will hold a wrapping party on December 21 to wrap all the gifts purchased by its network of dedicated shopping volunteers, and families and social service agencies will pick them up that day.
"Helping to provide these children with a little happiness makes us all feel special,'' said Jennifer Fell, RD, CDN, Director of Food and Nutrition, which along with the Hospital's Auxiliary and Marketing Department is helping to organize the milk and cookies event.
For the past 15 years, hospital employees, donors and community members have come together to support the "Santa's Helpers" program, which provides gifts for dozens of less fortunate children. Last year, the Hospital raised nearly $15,000 and spent $125 each on 107 children, surpassing its goal.
Local social service agencies provide the Hospital with the first name, age, size and wish list of the children. A committee of shoppers works to try to fulfill each child's wishes.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to support the program, please send a check payable to: HVHC and note in the memo section –"Santa's Helpers" to Hudson Valley Hospital Center, 1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567. Every dollar collected goes directly to purchasing gifts. For more information on how you can help contact, Sue Lepore at (914) 734-3287.
