PEORIA, Ill. -- Hundreds of Bradley University Students look towards their future as they crossed the stage for graduation on Saturday.
And as one alum said some things never change on such a special day.
Gowns? Check. Caps? Check. Tassels? It's all here, the makings of a graduation ceremony.
Graduates weren't the only ones getting degrees, Bradley Alum Joe Billy McDade received an honorary degree, a doctorate of humane letters and was the commencement speaker.
"We share four years at Bradley in common. I think they would appreciate that I've been in the same situation that they've been in, same environment," said Joe Billy McDade, U.S. District Judge, Central District of Illinois.
McDade graduated from Bradley in 1959 and is now a U.S. District Judge, but says he can still relate to the feelings students have on graduation day as he reflects back to '59.
"I was extremely nervous because suddenly I was through with college, I was on my own," said McDade.
Decades have passed since McDades' big day, but graduates agree this part of the year is full of emotions.
"Very excited, a little terrified. It's a big thing we're doing right here and I can't wait to get started," said Walter Prescott, Student Commencement Speaker. "These years go fast, Freshmen year on up to the last couple days of finals. It's been one roller coaster the whole way through."
"Coming from a single parent home and being the oldest, it's meant a lot to get to this point, it's a relief to finally reach this point," said Rachel Briskey, Bradley University graduate.
McDade says he hopes to inspire students, giving a real-life example of what may come.
"I knew I didn't have a schedule for the next four years, so I was extremely anxious on what was going to happen and what I was going to do. Then I went back to school, then to law school and things worked out fine," said McDade.
Nearly 280 students got diplomas Saturday and got to hear a message of success from one of their own.

Man dies after choking on pickled egg in Berkeley pub the Boars Head
Updated 1:19pm Friday 13th June 2014 in News Exclusive By Lucy Fulford
A POWER station worker died after apparently choking on a pickled egg in a Berkeley pub.
Emergency services were called to the Boars Head Inn on Lynch Road on Saturday evening where a 55-year-old man was choking.
A spokesman for South West Ambulance Service said they had received an emergency call at 9.46pm.
Two rapid response cars and one double crewed ambulance attended the incident where there was one casualty.
Although he was conscious at the scene, he suffered a cardiac arrest as a result of choking and while CPR was carried out, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said they had been called to the sudden death of a local man at around 11.15pm. "It is believed that the man choked on a piece of food," said the spokesman.
"The coroner and the man's next of kin have been informed.
"Police are not treating the man's death as suspicious."
A woman, who asked not to be named, said people had been taking part in a competition to swallow pickled eggs.
She said: "It's sad isn't it?
"Terrible. We were all very shocked.
"People shouldn't be playing these games, especially if they've been drinking."
The pub's landlady said she was not able to comment without the permission of the man's family, but she described the incident as a "sudden accident".
A spokeswoman for Magnox, who manage the nearby decommissioned Berkeley power Station, confirmed that the deceased man had worked at the power station.
He was a contractor who had worked on site for around five years.

Little things kept coming up which detracted from the whole cruise experience. It began with finding someone else's used bar of soap in my shower upon boarding, unvacummed carpets in the stateroom, worn and torn carpeting in the passageways, surly responses from the photographic counter clerk, assumed gratuities (I should have caught this one) each day, low quality and lack of taste of the food in the premium restaurants, and less than responsive guest services clerks when they misplaced a $75.00 credit we received from Vacations To Go.
In addition to the quality of the food, housekeeping details and personal service, the shore excursion we had in St Thomas with the "CAT Sail and Snorkel Tour" trip to Turtle Cove was a disaster. First the representative of the company took an hour to book us in and gather our tickets for our group. Then, because of this poor scheduling, we were held up by the Coast Guard for an hour while they supervised docked a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship and a Carnival Cruise Ship. As we finally departed the pier for the 45 minute trip to the island it became very obvious that the wind, rain and extremely high waves were a danger to the passengers' safety. Upon our arrival at the island, it took the crew 30 minutes to get us in the water and we had to forgo the beach portion of the tour due to the earlier delay.
We did visit St Maarten, a simple, pleasant destination. Plenty of commercialism on the prier and the small township. Good beaches exist on the St Martin side of the island. I would not go back for an extended stay but it was enjoyable even the third time around. And the Twelve Meter Sailboat Excursion was wonderful in 2005.
We did not go ashore in Nassau.
Now, there were indeed some very good experiences aboard the Epic. The Blue Man Group Show was amazing. The Cirque Dreams and Dinner Show was superb. August, of the Casino Bar, was very good. The cruise was a very good price and the ship credits were quite generous.
I think the Epic is just too large for the normal Norwegian Experience we have enjoyed over the years (at least five sailings in the past 6 years for our family). I will go on a Norwegian Cruise again in the future but I doubt I will ever go on the Epic, or any other similar sized ship, again.

Ronnie Montrose has always been one of my favorite guitarists, and his highly-overlooked band Gamma is one of the reasons why.
Combining the synth-effects play of Rush with the garage-guitar drive of Bad Company or Foreigner. Gamma released 3 albums, each with its own distinct flavor. The first was straight-on rock with a little bit of everything, the third and weakest being heavier on the AOR pop side of Journey.
The second album is the rockin' one. A lot of it has to do with the sound of the drums. They are raw and brutal here, and it helps give an edge to crushers like "Mean Streak" and "Cat On A Leash". There is also an interesting rendition of the protest song "Something In The Air" and the first blues song about astronauts, "Voyager".
Good solid hard rock album!

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 delivers everything casual tablet users will need, but it's all tied down to an inflated price tag that makes comparable options more attractive to budget-conscious shoppers.
An exceptional screen and a long list of software goodies make the Galaxy Tab S Samsung's best tablet to date and our top Android choice for an entertainment slate.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 is a sleekly designed tablet but, with more powerful and cheaper options available, it feels like more of the same, rather than an upgrade.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 comes up short in performance, features, and value compared with competing tablets.
Pricing not available
The premium specs and high-end feel of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 make it well worth the high price.
The first fruits of Barnes & Noble's partnership with Samsung is a version of the Galaxy Tab 4 7-inch Android tablet, loaded with the bookseller's reading-friendly interface and oodles of free content.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Book Cover has most of the features you'd want, but its missing auto-sleep feature makes its high price a tough pill to swallow.
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.

New study reveals best practices in content marketing and social media efforts
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The Big Data Group, LLC today announced the availability of its new study The 100 Most Social Big Data Companies.
The Big Data Group produces The Big Data Landscape, Big Data Trends, and Big Data TV.
"Our clients often ask us for best practices in the areas of content marketing and social media," said David Feinleib, Managing Partner of The Big Data Group. "As a result, we decided to publish this study to help inform Big Data companies and other technology vendors about best practices in these areas."
For the study, The Big Data Group analyzed the content marketing and social media efforts of 100 Big Data companies. This included more than 5,000 tweets and 600 blog posts, videos, and slide presentations from companies like Cloudera, Couchbase, HortonWorks, New Relic, SAP, Splunk and many others.
The study found that many Big Data companies are highly active on Twitter. But most significantly underutilize channels like YouTube and SlideShare.
Content creation remains challenging for many, with companies publishing an average of just four blog posts per month. More than 90% of companies could benefit from leveraging other content marketing channels.
Big Data is a major technology trend. It involves the rapid growth of unstructured and semi-structured data. Strategic use of Big Data enables companies to gain competitive advantage.
The 100 Most Social Big Data Companies study is available immediately at http://www.bigdatalandscape.com/news/the-100-most-social-big-data-companies.

A graphical look back at last season's Rangers outfield.
Ed Valentine (sweet name, whether it's real or not) takes a look at the improved Yankee fielding this year through the lens of advanced fielding metrics. It's a good read, and something I'm glad is appearing more often around the web. I really enjoyed the conclusion the article, too, which was refreshingly non-hyperbolized: "Despite their errorless streak, the Yankees are not a 'great' defensive team. What they are is a 'solid' defensive team, which is a huge improvement over the awful defensive team they were in 2008. Last season the Yankees cost themselves runs -- and ultimately games -- by not being able to make routine plays. This year, they are making the plays they should make and occasionally making a brilliant play. They may not be the best defensive team in the league. They are, however, helping themselves instead of hurting themselves. That's good enough."
A look a how age affects the defensive abilities of infielders, broken down by position and componen skills - range, error rate, and turning double plays.
A graphical look at the defensive value of the Yankees newly named starting outfield.
Dan posted last time about part 1, but I think this second part from Jensen might be more interesting to people. He uses Gameday to develop a fielding metric and gets results similar to +/-, and UZR in terms of plays saved. But the run values seem to be a little different.
This off-season there are a plethra of all-hit, no-field free agents available. Off the top of my head, I count: Manny Ramirez Pat Burrell Adam Dunn Jason Giambi Bobby Abreu Frank Thomas M...

'You've raised risk of rabies in the UK'
5:30am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Elizabeth Mackley
Michaela George covers her face as she leaves Swindon Magistrates' Court after admitting to misleading consumers over the sale of puppies born in the Czech Republic.
FRAUDSTER Michaela George, who peddled more than 30 under-age puppies born in the Czech Republic as Pedigree breeds,walked free from Swindon Magistrates' Court yesterday.
The 35-year-old misled at least three consumers who responded to adverts on the internet to the heritage, origin and age of the puppies she was selling while raking in hundreds of pounds in sales.
As well as preventing her customers from being able to make an informed choice, George's behaviour also put the general public at risk of catching rabies, since the dogs were not old enough to be vaccinated before being imported into the UK.
Rosie Heath, who represented Swindon Council in the prosecution against George, said: "Miss George has claimed that she didn't receive money for the sale for the puppies but that she did it on behalf of her brother, but she has admitted that on one occasion she herself imported the puppies.
"By doing so she has raised the risk of rabies in the UK."
George, who lives in Penhill Drive, admitted failing to disclose she is a trader, implying the puppies were born in the UK when they weren't, and misleading consumers so they were unable to make an informed decision.
She was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work with 12 months of supervision with the Probation Service.
The magistrates' court also ordered George to pay £750 in costs to the prosecution and to pay a £60 victim surcharge.
George sold the dogs from her property in Penhill Drive and from an address in Stanton Fitzwarren after advertising the dachshunds and Bernese Mountain dogs on the internet, claiming that they were members of the kennel club and pedigree breeds, and selling them for more than £500 each.
One such victim was Katie Osbourne who bought a dachshund from George's advert on www.pets4homes.co.uk George told Miss Osbourne that the puppies were born in the UK and were pedigree dogs, but when Miss Osbourne took the puppy to the vet and it was scanned the dog was found to have a micro-chip from the Czech Republic and was too young to have received vaccinations against rabies.
As a result Miss Osbourne was forced to pay extensive costs for quarantining the puppy.
Tony Nowogrodzki, of BLB Solicitors, represented George in the case.
He said: "Miss George is a 35-year-old woman who has a 10-year-old child and she is a good and dutiful mother.
"She was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was required to have a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
"Because she is from the Czech Republic she was not entitled to benefits and she took out a loan of £5,000."
She then made an agreement with her brother that she would sell the puppies in return for him paying her rent.

#22/24 Jacksonville wraps up regular season with Campbell on Senior Day
Related Links
With a school-record eight straight wins in a row, the JU football team is in position to accomplish its goal for the 2010 season – winning the Pioneer Football League championship.
All that stands between the Dolphins (9-1, 7-0 PFL) and their second PFL title in the last three years is the final home game of the season against Campbell (3-6, 2-5 PFL) on Saturday at D.B. Milne Field. Kickoff is set for Noon.
Any fans that bring two canned food items for the Mike Davidson Ford food drive can purchase a ticket for $5 to the game.
Saturday will mark the final home game for JU's 19 seniors that comprise the winningest senior class in school history and who look to go out with another championship ring.
"Our season has been built to get us to this point," said JU head coach Kerwin Bell. "Our goal was to win the PFL championship and now we're one win away from reaching that goal.
"But, we can't get caught up in looking at the prize. We've got to continue to work hard this week to get better. Campbell is a good football team that is much improved over last year."
JU is coming off a sluggish outing that put the Dolphins championship dreams in doubt.
The Dolphins rallied with two fourth quarter touchdowns to beat defending PFL champion Butler on the road, 24-16. Jacksonville failed to gain 400 yards on offense and the 24 points is the second-lowest point total this season.
JU's defense, which was on the field for all but nine minutes in the first half, came alive in the fourth quarter – picking off three passes and changing the course of the game by getting the Bulldogs off the field quickly.
"Our defense stepped up in the second half and made some really big plays," Bell said. "We needed some momentum and those turnovers gave us the ball back in good field position to put some points on the board and create some separation."

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs is taking a stand against the city's violence. He says more officers are on the streets to put an end to it.
Chief Derrick Diggs has several teams of detectives working right now to find who's responsible for the recent shootings, especially the two murders. He has a plan to quiet the violence, and it is a plan a reformed gang member is hoping will work.
After ten years as a Crip, Paul Parker says he left the lifestyle last year and is a changed man. However, he says the last two days prove there are many others who haven't been able to do the same.
"They don't want that for their kids, they don't want that for their nieces and nephews, but they don't know how to come up out of that lifestyle themselves. So I am challenging them to be leaders within themselves, lead their kids and their nieces and nephews," Parker said.
Chief Diggs says at least some of the recent shootings have been gang related, so he has launched a zero tolerance crackdown on gangs, putting additional officers on the street. He is even pulling some off of special assignments, and placing them in known gang areas.
"They all have served time in jail, have been arrested, and in many cases some of these people have been shot several times. They have been arrested numerous times. These are not random violent acts," Diggs said.
The chief says he will soon have another tool to fight the violence. The real time crime center being built inside the safety building downtown could be ready for staffing within a week. That is where images from surveillance cameras will be monitored to catch crimes happening in high-crime areas, and get the people responsible. The cameras still have to be installed.
The chief also says his Community Initiative to Reduce Violence- T-CIRV- has been working since it began in April.
"We didn't have our first gang related homicide until 8 weeks later. Usually in a program like this you can go maybe three weeks at the most without having a gang related homicide. We went 8 weeks," Diggs explained.
Meanwhile, Paul Parker is planning a march down Detroit Avenue. It will be a demonstration to show kids that the gang life is not for them.
"It's time to give up the gangs you know, work out the differences between each other and come together," Parker said.
The march will be like the one Parker held last August. It starts at 4 p.m. at Central Avenue and Detroit Avenue on July 1.

John Chester retired from his position as a Classical WETA host in December 2013.
Raised in Freeport, Illinois, he remembers visiting his first radio station when he was a cub scout. After serving in the Air Force, Chester attended Southern Illinois University, where he received a BA in communications in 1974. Shortly after that, Chester went to work for public radio station WILL-AM and WILL-FM at the University of Illinois.
It was the opportunity to work at WGMS-FM as assistant program director that brought Chester to the Greater Washington area. He eventually became a full-time announcer for the station. After 12 years at WGMS, he moved to Boston where he became the afternoon host at Boston's commercial classical music station WCRB-FM. In 1996, Chester returned to WGMS and was that station's afternoon host until January 2007. He was afternoon host at Classical WETA from February 2007 until his retirement in December 2012. He continued as overnight host until December 2013 but is now fully retired, and enjoying gardening, woodwork, golfing, fishing, watching movies and reading. He and his wife currently live in North Carolina.

Tired of hearing about the Portland Timbers-Seattle Sounders rivalry? Well, there's a pretty good chance you'll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming weeks. Assuming both teams can advanced past their third-round U.S. Open Cup opponents, the Cascadia Cup rivals will meet in the fourth round.
That would mark the fourth time the two teams have played one another in the Open Cup since 2007, with the Sounders winning the previous three times. The last two of those meetings were after the Sounders had moved up to MLS and the Timbers were still in the second division. Like those two meetings, this one is scheduled to be played at Portland's Jeld-Wen Field.
Among the other potentially intriguing fourth-round matches is a revival of the SuperClasico at Home Depot Center. The Galaxy would have to beat the Carolina Railhawks, while Chivas would need to take care of the Ventura County Fusion. The Galaxy played Chivas in the 2005 Open Cup and won 5-2 over the then-expansion team.

North Carolina's own Billy Edd Wheeler, a poet and songwriter, once penned a song, "Coal Tattoo," about the hardships of life in the West Virginia coal fields where he grew up. It spoke of a miner's blue mark on the side of his head, "left by the number nine coal."
The deadly hazards of coal mining for those who work in the mountains are well-known, and so are the hazards for everyone else when coal waste is dumped into streams.
The problem is more acute when strip mining or mountaintop removal is in place, wherein the tops of mountains are simply scraped away by mining companies to facilitate the removal of coal. That's as opposed to conventional mining, wherein the tops of the mountains are left in place and the coal is taken out through tunnels. With mountaintop removal, the waste is all the greater, and the mining companies are looking for the cheapest and simplest way of disposal. Hence the dumping in streams.
A preposterous bill pushed mostly by Republicans in the U.S. House would allow such dumping. During a debate, one opponent raised a jar of filthy water and said it had come out of the taps in homes in Appalachia where coal waste has fouled water.
Amazingly, the House passed the measure, which would prevent the Obama administration from issuing an order to prohibit the dumping. Advocates claim it's a jobs bill. It's not. It is a dangerous bill. And to pass legislation specifically aimed at stopping a president from doing his duty through the power of a legitimate order represents interference with the powers of the executive branch. We can only hope that the White House finds some way around this should it become law.
Some North Carolina representatives, including Republican Reps. Renee Ellmers of the 2nd District and George Holding of the 13th District in the Triangle, took the side of coal-mining companies that want the easy way to get rid of waste from strip mining. Reps. David Price of the 4th and G.K. Butterfield of the 1st, both Democrats, voted against this reprehensible measure.
Coming not long after the ever-expanding coal ash uproar involving Duke Energy's inadequate treatment of the ash and the problems in the Dan River, it's astounding that any North Carolina member of Congress could go along with the mining waste bill.
Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, characterize attempts to ban the dumping as a "war on coal" and say what they're doing is "pro-growth." Good grief. Will they stand by that pro-growth position if the waterways of the mountains of Appalachia, including those in North Carolina, are fouled and economies related to tourism are wounded? "War on common sense" is more like it.

ORNL's 'Dirty Dozen' stimulus projects
OK, it's actually a baker's dozen -- 13 cleanup projects -- that are being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I call them the Dirty Dozen, because they represent some of the nastiest old buildings and contaminated sites left from the early nuclear operations at ORNL.
Several days ago I talked to J.T. Howell, DOE's team leader for the portfolio of cleanup projects being funded by the Recovery Act. He outlined the work, identified them by group and contracting mechanism, and gave me an update on their status.
Here's a run through by number:
Many of these projects will being carried under so-called ID/IQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quanity), a flexible contract mechanism that uses pre-qualified companies out of DOE's Cincinnati office. These will be awarded as prime DOE contracts reporting to the agency's Oak Ridge office.
1. Installing caps on areas of the old waste burial grounds (Solid Waste Storage Areas 1 and 3) at ORNL. It's being done as a small-biz set aside under the ID/IQ contracting umbrella. Bids are in, although I don't know if a contract has been awarded yet.
2. Demolition of the wooden superstructure of the old hot cell facility known as Building 3026. This contract has already been awarded.
3., 4., and 5. are hot cell demolition or cleanout projects that are lumped under a single ID/IQ contract for Buildings 3026, 3038 and 2026. "It's all tied to risk reduction for the money we've got," Howell said. The contract is open to bids from both small and large contracts, but it reportedly is under a protest -- apparently because of questions of whether it should have been made available exclusively to small businsseses.
6., 7., 8., and 9. are facility demolition projects that include cover 34 facilities. They are also lumped under another ID/IQ contract that's open to small and large businesses.
"We're trying to clear out some of the buildings to give us some real estate to work (in the tight quarters of the lab's Central Campus)," Howell said. These projects are known as the small facilities demo, general maintenance facilities demo, southeast campus complex demo, and the central campus legacy material cleanout.
"Again, we're focusing on risk reduction," Howell said. Those contract bids are reportedly being evaluated.
10. Demolition of the 2000 Complex, a series of old Quonset huts and related facilities not too far down a ridge west of the historic Graphite Reactor. These are ugly-looking things that everybody wants to get rid of. The work will be done unde a subcontract to UT-Battelle, DOE's managing contractor at ORNL.
11. Corehole No. 8 remediation project. This involves excavation of radioactive soils that were contaminated years ago by waste operations at the lab facilities. The cleanup project was attempted a few years ago, but was put off because soil was too hot and needed more study to prevent exposures to workers. Work will be performed by Bechtel Jacobs, DOE's cleanup manager in Oak Ridge, and perhaps subcontractors.
12. Bethal Valley groundwater "early action." This will involve the installation of wells in which to pump contaminated groundwater from the area near Corehole No. 8 and treat it to remove the rad pollutants. "It's to keep it from migrating off-site," Howell said. The project also will be handled by Bechtel Jacobs and helpers.
13. Melton Valley Sentinel Wells. This is a stimulus project that will involve drilling of 16 monitoring wells across the Clinch River from ORNL's nuclear burial grounds. The wells will show if any radioactive or chemical contamination has seeped underground and reached the private properties on the other side of the river.
"We believe it's a prudent thing for DOE to do," federal spokesman John Shewairy said of the project.
Howell said the wells will be done in clusters of four. This also will be managed by Bechtel Jacobs with use of subcontractors.
The DOE project manager said overall the environmental management work at ORNL that's funded by the ARRA is "going great."
He noted, "The difficulty is the pace at which it's happening. You know how fast this money has come in. It's to get the work done quickly, and I'm trying to do that and the guidance from headquarters is fast and furious."
Howell said whether people were political supporters of the Recovery Act or not, the work is getting started and jobs are being created in the process. He said progress will be made obvious late this summer after contractors mobilize, hire more workers and get started on their cleanup tasks.
"You've got to realize we're on a steep ramp-up curve," he said.
Despite the very cramped quarters in ORNL's Central Campus, where many of the cleanup projects will be taking place simultaneously, "All the contractors are working together," Howell said. "I can't overstate the importance of that."
He said a plan is being contemplated whereby there will be a daily meeting of all the contractors to discuss activities taking place that day to make sure one task doesn't interfere with or disrupt another.
Shewairy said the work on ORNL's campus, where thousands of scientists and visitors will be working while cleanup activities take place, has really got the attention of DOE Manager Gerald Boyd.
There is a DOE-led integrated project team for the EM activities, and Howell said the group meets weekly to "stay ahead of any problems and mitigate those."
Meanwhile, DOE's Inspector General staff is a major presence looking over the stimulus funding and how it's being applied. Other audits are taking place as well.
"The IG has been in here for the last two months, something like that," Howell said. "We've met with them numerous times. I had a couple of meetings with them (a couple of weeks ago). They're looking at what we're doing and how we're progressing."

Over the offseason, the Florida Marlins are re-branding. They're getting a new stadium. A new logo. A new name. New jerseys. They're pretty much getting new everything. Players aside, the 2012 Marlins will be visually dissimilar from all versions of the Marlins present and past.
So maybe Marlins closer Leo Nunez just wanted to follow along. See, Leo Nunez is also re-branding. Recently placed on the restricted list and suspended by the team, it came out Thursday night that Nunez was returning to the Dominican Republic. Why? Because, according to reports, he's been playing under an assumed name, and has lied about his age. Leo Nunez, 28, is actually Juan Carlos Oviedo, 29.
A different name, and a different age. It's so absurd to think about, and given that Nunez therefore lied to everybody, including the US government, it seems like this should be a huge deal. A potential career-ender, right? Nunez deceived the government and his employer for his own personal benefit.
But if recent history is any indication, Nunez should emerge from this all or mostly peaches. Now, it's important to note that I don't have any special insight here. There could be something about the Nunez case that makes it different from other, similar cases we've seen in the past. But that's just the thing - there have been other, similar cases in the past, and those cases have generally been resolved.
The one that immediately comes to my mind is the case of Santiago Casilla. Or, as he was known for some time, Jairo Garcia. As Garcia, he dominated at all levels as a minor league reliever in the Oakland system. Then, in early 2006, he revealed that his name was actually Santiago Casilla, and that he was two years and ten months older than was thought. He had lied about his age to make himself more appealing to American scouts as a teenager in the Dominican.
Because Casilla had previously been in the US under another identity, a number of things had to be sorted out, and he was delayed in his arrival to spring training. After that, though, it was all smooth sailing. The government let him back in, the A's let him back in, and a year later Casilla was establishing himself as an effective reliever in the major leagues.
Casilla is one case, and the case that I remember the best, but there have been a ton of them. Fewer since 9/11, but we still see them. Obviously, we still see them. And they just aren't that significant. They're significant, in that all of a sudden a player will have a new name and/or age, but by and large, the players survive.
With Nunez, it's not even like he's going to lose any prospect sheen by aging a year overnight. Instead of being a fine 28-year-old major league reliever, he's a fine 29-year-old major league reliever. In the short term, that year doesn't mean anything. He still throws the same stuff. He's still entering his final year of arbitration.
I don't know much about the Leo Nunez situation, but if it's at all like the other situations like this we've seen in the past, then this should blow over without further incident. Nunez will get his papers straightened out, and he'll return to the country as Juan Carlos Oviedo. Whether he returns as a Miami Marlin, I can't say, but there was already talk that the Marlins might not bring him back before this whole story broke, so I don't know what effect this might have. I suspect a very small one.

Over on SI.com, Tom Verducci has a lengthy examination about the use of the modern closer. It covers a lot of ground, from a comparison of pitchers like Brian Wilson to the multi-inning relievers of yore, to quotes from Dodgers trainer Stan Conte (who is writing a research paper about repeat customers of Tommy John surgery), to the use of PITCHf/x as an early-warning system for pitcher injuries. It's a good read.
The thing that caught my attention the most, though, was this:
The incidence of injuries went down slightly in one brief period: the back end of the steroid era, when sophisticated, cutting-edge use of illegal performance-enhancers -- not the industrial-strength, gym-rat regimens of the early adopters -- were keeping people on the field and aiding in recovery. But since 2007 -- right after amphetamines joined steroids on the banned list -- the rate of injuries has not improved despite the advances in science, nutrition and training.
Now, I'm not so sure about the causation/correlation link. I spent several minutes making these the other day, so I'll share them again:
The theory makes sense, though. Back when players were using all manner of artificial enhancements, ligaments and tendons were stronger. They healed quicker. They recovered from strain and use quicker. Maybe. It's something that needs to be studied, and not by someone like me or Verducci. What are the healing properties of things like cream and the clear and the slather and the elixir and the testies*?
* I don't know if anyone has ever really used that nickname for "testosterone supplements", but it would be funnier if they did.
The ethical argument against performance-enhancing drugs boils down to this: The drugs have side effects, and a player shouldn't have to choose between those side effects and losing his job. There are other arguments, but that's always been the most compelling one. If the 25th man on a roster needs to choose between a job and shrunken testicles, there's something wrong with the system.
But science keeps chuggin'. And the side effects will become less of a concern. And then baseball will have some decisions to make.
Think it's impossible baseball will allow steroids as a healing agent? They've been cool with it for decades:
(Kirk) Gibson is one of the first players to arrive at the stadium. He is transported from the player's parking lot to the dugout in a cart. He limps into the dugout and toward the trainer's room, where he is given injections of cortisone and xylocaine for the sprained ligament in his right knee.
That's not me trying to be cute -- "lol cortisone is a steroid lol GOTCHA KIRK" -- but I'm just pointing out there are steroids in baseball already. They have side effects and everything. They're used to keep players playing.
The obvious difference is cortisone isn't going to help players hit (or throw) a ball harder. That's the demarcation line right now, and it's a pretty simple one. There isn't a whole of ambiguity: If it makes players do anything but get back on the field, it's probably not okay.
But what if there were a drug without any major side effects that prevented injuries, but it also helped players with their endurance -- helped them stay fresh throughout the 162-game season and bounce back for a day game after a night game? Again, we're talking about a hypothetical drug with the side effects of, say, ibuprofen. We already know ibuprofen's cool for baseball players.
That drug doesn't exist. And that drug might never exist. I'm no … drugologist, or whatever. But the morality and ethics of performance-enhancing drugs would change. If such a drug were to exist, there would be a compelling ethical argument in favor of the mandatory use of said drug. Healthier players are good for the business, good for the fan, and good for the individual who stays healthy.
We're used to injuries being a part of the game, but maybe we shouldn't be. Maybe injuries should be more of an outrage, more of a cause. Medical science thinks they are. And considering teams and players both lose money because of the relative frailty of the human body, they'll probably be quicker to adapt than you think. The answer could be better drugs. Verducci mentions stem cells. Hell, we could be talking about baseball and nanobots in twenty years.
This is all hypothetical and speculative now, but it's a reminder things are going to get weird. Pitchers break down because they're pitchers. We've accepted that. Maybe we'll have to unlearn it -- and everything we thought we believed about performance-enhancing drugs -- one day.

For the WP7 (Lumia) phones, is there any plans to allow users to plan journeys online/manage favourites, etc as with their symbian phone and then sync the settings to the phone.
Would be nice if the phone did this and make use of user information which is already present on the nokia maps site.
15-02-2012 15:19
I am thinking the same, especially my favourite places I have saved to Nokia Maps. It was nice to sync places with N95 8 GB, N97 mini, N8, and E7. And now? With Nokia Lumia 800? Please bring this option back if you want people to stay with Nokia. Maps is one of the apps that keeps me loyal to Nokia.
15-02-2012 15:30
Better integration in general between Maps and Drive on the Lumia 800 is promised with work in progress and for the moment they don't even share the same map data!

Authorities believe alcohol may have been a factor in a deadly motorcycle accident that happened in northwest Las Vegas Tuesday night.
Las Vegas Metro police reported the single-vehicle wreck at 10:21 p.m. near Kyle Canyon and Oso Blanca roads, just west of the U.S. 95 freeway.
Police said a 2011 Honda motorcycle appeared to have traveled northbound on Oso Blanca when it left the roadway to the right. The rider traveled down an embankment, ejecting him, police said.
The 28-year-old motorcyclist died at the scene.
As of this incident, Metro has investigated 40 traffic-related fatalities this year.
The Clark County Coroner's office is expected to release the name and cause of death for the motorcyclist.

Trio of freshmen DL not likely to redshirtAugust 21st, 2014, 3:17 pm by RYAN KARTJE
LOS ANGELES -- There are no plans in motion to redshirt UCLA's third freshmen defensive linemen -- interior lineman Ainuu Taua and defensive ends Matt Dickerson and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner -- UCLA coach Jim Mora said on Thursday.
The transfer of defensive end Kylie Fitts has left UCLA's defensive line as arguably the thinnest position group on the defense's depth chart, which is a concern on the line, where UCLA often rotates on a consistent basis. But all three have impressed through ...Read the rest of this entry »

Found this for $1.99 at the local Trader Joe's and thought... "Why not?"
The label is nice to look at, and the brew itself is a perfect IPA orange. The appearance is really the best thing about this beer.
Surprisingly sweet and malt-liqouresqe. Adjuncts, syrup and a bit of green banana.
Not bad at all, but certainly not normal for a beer of this style. I was reminded more of "Steel Reserve" than a decent IPA.... but I digress. For what it is, I was perfectly fine with the less than usual flavor profile.
Chewy, and a little flat. Not bad at all... I found myself glad that it wasn't overcarbonated.
Take it or leave it... This is a very odd beer, but not a very bad one. I'd drink it again.

I bought this DIPA as well as their IPA while picking up some things at Trader Joe's. I didn't much like the IPA, yet for some reason held out some hopes for the DIPA. These hopes were quickly dashed, however. I think this was worse than the IPA.
In a tulip glass the beer was a hazy amber color with a minimal head and no lace.
Not much aroma; very faint citrus and very faint sweet malt. Not much there.
The taste was even more of a letdown. Nothing that resembles an IPA, much less a DIPA. A smidge of lemon and grapefruit, that's about all.
Kind of like drinking some flavored water. Where are the hops?
Never again.

Bomber bottle purchased at my local Trader Joe's (god I love shopping at that place...)
for the stupid cheap price of $2.99....I know I know, you get what you pay for...
Pours clear typical almond amber. Off white head stays at the thicker film stage and leaves some fine bands and fields of sheetage.
Nose is on the sweet side..hmm thats not a good sign..
On the tongue and palate the nose carries through with more...sweet...this is the sweet side of DIPA land, with just some dry notes in the finish. I do get some woody smoke, and some sticky caramel character. But this is kinda boozy, kinda sweet and not really what most are looking for in this style. ....I know I know, you get what you pay for...

650 ml bottle from Trader Joes. IBU = 75 / O.G. = 17.15
Deep amber color with a small and short-lived head, leaving almost no lacing.
The aroma has a metallic off odor. Modest amount of earth hop aroma and flavor, but a rather poor quality hop aroma compared to better IPAs.
Medium body but lightly astringent.
O: drinkable and inexpensive, but disappointing and not recommended. [2.75]

Appearance: Big bubbles and great thin layer of foam. Pinkish copper in hue.
Smell: Very weak for a DIPA. Sweet grapefruit and malt liquor. Not a bad smell, just nothing really to speak of.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Sweet, thick caramel and a strong metallic finish. The finish is what really "screws" this up. Mouthfeel is quite syrup, but not awful overall.
Overall Drinkability: Did I enjoy this beer? No. Did I hate it like a lot of people? Probably not.

This says double ipa but it has very little hops and a whole lotta malt and alcohol. If anything this should be called an American strong ale or something along those lines. There is a big malt flavor + odd chemical bitterness (not hops but something akin to Windex.) This reminds me of Old English 800 or some other ghetto style brew. I am not sure why Trader Joes is carrying such a low grade brew, most of their selection is good (they recently added Stone Belgium IPA.) This is just a cheap strong beer that is not worth sitting next to a Stone or an AleSmith at TJs

This was very disappointing. I know it's a generic brand type of beer, being brewed for Trader Joe's, but I still expected much better than this. It tasted like a low quality old man sort of beer except concentrated. There was some bitterness, but nothing in the way of pleasant hop aroma or flavor. I really don't understand the purpose of putting a beer like this out on the market.

A 22oz bomber for 2.29 from Trader Joe's. Pours a standard coppery amber with a white head and decent lacing . Smell is sweet with alcohol and a light fruitiness. Some caramel and a grainy malt. Taste aint bad for a cheap DIPA. Is it grand and complex? No. But it has real beer taste and decent balance. It is on the sweeter of things, and it is certainly not the hop bomb we have come to expect in this style, but by no means is it a bad beer. Finish is a little sweet and mildly hopped. The abv is well integrated and not a hinderance to drinking it. Feel is smooth and slightly chewy, with a lighter weight for the OG. Not a bad beer for the price. There is flavor to be found here and for those of you looking for an abv bomb at a BMC price look no further.

A: Medium brown amber in color. A little bit of light tan head on the top of it, but not a lot. Slightly hazy in the glass.
S: Caramel and sweet right off the bat. There is a strong fruitiness to it, perhaps a little tropical fruit hop smell, perhaps a little floral . All in all I am not getting a lot of hops out of this, and it comes off almost cloying.
T: There are some hops in there, although far from the hop character I would normally associate with this style. This is a caramel bomb if I ever had one.... The bitterness is almost non-existent, and the hop character is looking a lot like Where's Waldo. [poc
M: Medium thick in body, carbonation seems a little active for me, the finish is slightly dry.
O: Overall this is a fine strong ale, as a IIPA there is very little hop character or bitterness. The cloying quality is a little much and the booziness doesn't help.

2.05/5 rDev -17.3%
Appearance- Light brown with a lot of carbonation. Little to no head retention.
Smell- Not a lot of excitement on the smell. Smells sort of like a bud light with a slight hint of hops.
Taste- A little but of hoppiness but not noticeably citrus or floral, just bitter. Maltiness is more noticeable than the hoppiness.
Mouthfeel- Oily and slick. Alcohol is noticeable.
Overall- Definitely the least expensive double IPA I've ever bought but I wouldn't really call it a double IPA. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this for human consumption.

The Hansel and Gretel story from the Brothers Grimm is familiar to American as well as German children. A poor woodcutter and his wife abandon the starving brother and sister in the woods, the children stumble upon a house made of sweets; the witch who lives there tries to eat them; they burn her alive in her own oven. Laden with the witch's treasure, they return home to their now-widowed father, with whom they live happily ever after.
"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" picks up the story 15 years later, when the two are 20-something witch bounty hunters. You find 'em, we grind 'em, could be their motto--they use all kinds of witch-killing weapons the Brothers Grimm could never have imagined. When H & G arrive in Augsburg, they find a town in an uproar over the number of missing childre, a so-called witch about to be killed, and, naturally, a lot of witches.
"Hansel and Gretel" stars Jeremy Renner as Hansel and Gemma Arterton as the brother and sister; Famke Janssen as an evil sorceress; and Pihla Viitala as the red-headed woman mistaken as a witch but saved by Hansel. It runs 88 minutes and is rated R.

Here's what the critics are saying:
"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is more Gatling guns and grenades than The Brothers Grimm. It takes the kidnapped kiddies into adulthood, where they've parlayed their fame at cooking a witch's goose into a business. Got a witch problem? Call H & G — the extermination experts. High concept pitch or no, the movie doesn't really work. They were shooting for sort of a witch-hunting "Zombieland," an f-bomb-riddled "Van Helsing" packed with comical anachronisms — a Bavarian forest past with witch trials, pump shotguns and primitive tasers, where bottles of milk have woodcut pictures of "missing children" on the labels.

Recent years have seen numerous attempts to reinvigorate fairytales for an adult audience fall on their faces, with Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm and Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood both notable failures that will understandably make audiences wary of Hansel & Gretel. And while Renner's performance here is merely adequate - Arterton fares way better - the film's real strength is Wirkola and his commitment to embracing the period and fantasy setting, rather than smugly mocking it. After all, this is a story about witches, trolls, magic and houses made of candy, and yet somehow Wirkola interprets that as an R-rated splatter fest, packed full of exploding bodies, crushed skulls, decapitations and even nudity.

Actor Jeremy Renner has been on a roll ever since his Academy Award–nominated performances in The Hurt Locker and The Town, which have translated into roles in franchises like The Avengers, the Bourne movies and Mission: Impossible. There's no telling whether the upcoming horror comedy Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters will be the next franchise for Renner, as audiences won't know until early next year whether the decision to delay the movie ( twice!) was a red flag or savvy scheduling.
