Vulnerability Reported: a Patch for MPlayer
Multimedia software MPlayer notifies of security holes in the Real demuxer code that can result in arbitrary code execution.
The three vulnerability spots in MPlayer that Felipe Andres Manzano discovered in the code, and reported in an oCert advisory, all lead to the same possibility: an attacker can exploit a heap overflow to create a specific video file that can compromise the code. This video can have the stream_read function read or write arbitrary amounts of memory, resulting in unexpected code execution that could cause process termination. The affected MPlayer versions are 1.0 RC2 and earlier. The advisory references the required patch.

The Heritage Series:
The Heritage Series of grips is available for medium and large frame Smith & Wesson Revolvers. Some are available for Colt revolvers as well.
Our Heritage grip is reminiscent of the original Smith & Wesson factory style grips that were made and supplied with new S&W revolvers from approximately 1950 through the 1960's. S&W discontinued them as a cost control measure because they were hand made.
Heritage grips are very similar to the original "Coke Bottle" style made famous by such shooting fame as Bill Jordan and Skeeter Skelton. Available hand checkered and hand fitted for all medium to large frame S&W revolvers, and Colt Pythons. Crafted in beautiful rosewood, priced at $99.95 per set and $8.50 for S&H, they are certain to enhance the look and feel of your firearms. Please call us for more details on this timeless grip style.
This is the grip that many folks are looking for, in fact it's called "the conversion grip by many shooters" because it converts the newer round butt S&W revolvers to the old square look.
Or if you are looking for a slightly shorter grip that works with speedloaders, check out our Classic line of grips.

The push is on in Washington, D.C. for stricter gun control in the wake of recent mass shootings, but not all in law enforcement around the country are on board with the idea.
In fact, some are pushing back.
Colorado's county sheriffs have asked lawmakers to back off any proposals this year to change current gun law. In an official position paper, the County Sheriffs of Colorado stated that they oppose an assault-weapons ban and a ban on bulk purchases of ammunition. "Gun control does not equate to lower crime rates, which is really what we strive for," the sheriffs wrote. The sheriffs asked lawmakers "not to make decisions during this grieving period."
In Pine County, Minnesota, Sheriff Robin Cole says he won't enforce further federal gun regulations.
1,500 miles west in Linn County, Oregon, Sheriff Tim Mueller even wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden saying he will refuse to enforce any gun regulations he finds unconstitutional.
And in Caddo Parish, Sheriff Steve Prator says, "I'm not ready to say whether I would or wouldn't enforce something, but if they passed a law that said, 'you go around and seize everybody's guns,' I'm going to be changing professions."
That said, Prator doesn't see that happening. He says we need to quit fixating on a ban of any particular gun, like the semi-automatic assault rifle, as some sort of cure-all for gun violence. "Since I've been in law enforcement in Caddo Parish, we've probably had 1,500 to 2,000 homicides. I can't remember a particular homicide with an A-R."
Instead, Prator says the focus needs to be on the people who commit those horrible acts of violence, like the gunman in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. "I want us to figure out the evil that's causing people to do this."
Parents like Kylie Clayton-Opie, who has children at Sun City Elementary in Bossier, just wants to make sure her child's school is safe. "I think maybe better security in front of schools to be able to come inside of a school. There should be some sort of security in place."
Ever since the unthinkable massacre of 20 children and six adults in the Connecticut school back in December, parents are more focused on security at their children's schools than ever.
So are the schools themselves.
Electronic locking doors have been installed at many Bossier schools to keep intruders at bay, including at Sun City, where passage through the doors is controlled by the school secretary at the push of a button and all visitors are required to sign in.
The Bossier Parish School Board also voted recently to rotate 4 part-time sheriff's deputies between the district's 19 elementary schools. It's a move parent Claudette Brimmer supports wholeheartedly. "As far as putting police, patrol and policemen in the school, to start somewhere, I think that's a great start."
All are measures that were taken swiftly in response to the Newtown shooting. "For right now, I think they've done as much as they can," says parent Jerdine Robinson.
While advocates of stricter gun control say more can be done to prevent another mass shooting, it remains to be seen whether the country - and it's local law enforcement authorities - will be willing to go along.

SUNNYLAND, Ill -- You can enjoy a movie and help the tornado victims all at the same time.
This Saturday morning, Sunnyland Cinemas is teaming up with the Red Cross for a Relief Benefit.
At 10 am, you can enjoy a family-friendly movie, popcorn and a drink with a donation to the Red Cross.
Theater manager Tim Tuft said, the event is a time to give back, but also a time to escape from all the stresses of the situation.
"It's just something to get away from, get their minds off of this and a chance to relax and enjoy a movie," said Tuft.
The theater is located just down the street from the devastated areas.
Tuft said several of their regular customers and employees were affected.

CANTON, TX (KLTV) - Sew'n Sew is open thanks to volunteers like Natalie Lee.
"I'm keeping it open on Friday and Saturday just trying to keep all the customers coming in and keep things moving and it's worked out real well," said Lee.
The store's owner, Thelma Barker, remains hospitalized after a tornado ripped through her home while she was inside.
"She's learning how to walk on one foot since her right foot she broke a bone in her ankle, she's having to learn how to manage that heavy cast," said Lee.
Thelma lost nearly everything in the storm. Friends say they couldn't let Thelma lose her business.
"Because this is Thelma. The store is her," said Lee.
"I've been a really close friend of hers for probably about 15 years and I met her through the store because that's my passion is quilting so I just wanted to help her out," said Wanda Sheram, volunteer.
Friends say Thelma is constantly giving to charities. In fact, several quilts will be donated Saturday to children. Volunteers say they thought it was time to give back to Thelma.
"She's just a very, very good hearted person," said Sheram.
In a week, friends say Thelma will be released from the hospital.
"She's talking about wanting to stop at the store on her way home from the hospital," said Lee.
"This is her life and she wants to be here immediately and with that drive that she has I think that's going to help her recover faster and get her back to the thing she really loves," said Sheram.
A fund is set up to help Thelma rebuild what the storm tore to pieces. Donations can be made at any American National Bank branch. Checks should be made out directly to Thelma Barker.
Donations can also be mailed to:

Need for blood remains in summer
The American Red Cross will hold several community blood drives during the month of July. All eligible and new blood donors are encouraged to give blood. Blood donors are needed every day to ensure an adequate blood supply for patients in need.

NHS Meltdown: Elderly Woman Starved Rather Than Cared for to Save Money?
I have heard rumors of stories like this from my contacts in the UK, but have not posted on it because that is what they were: Rumors. But now, the BBC has reported that a care facility might have tried to starve an elderly woman to save money. From the story:
Ellen Westwood, 88, was in Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital for two months being treated for dementia and C.difficile, which she had previously contracted. Her daughter Kathleen Westwood said the hospital decided in February it was in her "best interests" to halt fluids and nutrition--a move the family opposed...
Ms Westwood said she and her father were called into a room at Selly Oak Hospital on 8 February and told doctors had decided to withdraw all fluids, food and hydration.
They said they had begun giving Mrs Westwood morphine "because she is dying". She said: "Because of this capacity ruling, if you deem somebody to have lost capacity, then the doctors can act in the best interests. "Well in their view the best interests was for my mother to die--and clearly by Monday she would have been dead."
The facility said the doctors followed the national guidelines. Maybe they did! The surrealistically named National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence--that goes by the equally surrealistic acronym NICE--the bioethics advisers (overlords) of the NHS is very utilitarian and it wouldn't be surprising if the guidelines did call for such an involuntary dehydration. Indeed, in its legal brief in the Leslie Burke case, NICE wanted doctors to have the say whether he was dehydrated to death even though he sued to prevent that type of death. (The UK Lords eventually ruled that doctors decide if the patient is unconscious or unable to communicate.)

Hi -
I already mumbled a bit about this at http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=123570, but I thought I'd try it with an example. The problem concerns changing screens (canvases) in an app. If I have (like in the code) two screens that are being changed between each other, and being nulled during the change I get an ugly flick on S60 devices (N73 and E51, at least). The same code runs without (at least not as bad) a flick on an S40 device (6131 testing).
This is a very much simplified case of what's going on in my actual app. The reason I need to null (at least one of) the screen(s) is that I load different images dynamically there, and have to run System.gc() to clear some memory for the new images. Otherwise I wouldn't care to address this problem, but since I haven't come up with any solution to this, I thought I'd ask here. Maybe the code stinks and there's something simple and obvious I haven't thought of (timing things, when to instantiate exactly or smth...) - I'd just like to know if this is just about the code or if it is a S60 specific thing, so I wouldn't waste my time on it more
Here's an example (modified upon the example at the 1st thread):
Code:import javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics; import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet; import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDletStateChangeException; public class CallTest extends MIDlet { public static Display display ; private TestForm1 tf1; private TestForm2 tf2; protected void destroyApp(boolean arg0) throws MIDletStateChangeException { } protected void pauseApp() { } protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException { display = Display.getDisplay(this); tf1 = new TestForm1(this); tf2 = new TestForm2(this); display.setCurrent(tf1); } public void changeScreen(Object scr) { if(scr instanceof TestForm1){ // comment out the next two lines to remove the flick tf1 = null; // Setting the previous screen to null to see the flick tf2 = new TestForm2(this); // ...and instantiating a new one display.setCurrent(tf2); tf1 = null; } else { // comment out the next two lines to remove the flick tf2= null; tf1 = new TestForm1(this); display.setCurrent(tf1); } } public class TestForm1 extends Canvas{ private CallTest ct; public TestForm1(CallTest ct){ this.ct = ct; this.setFullScreenMode(true); } protected void paint(Graphics g) { //fill background with some gray g.setColor(0xaabbaa); g.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()); g.setColor(0x000000); g.drawString("Some text for scr 1", this.getWidth()/2, this.getHeight()/2, Graphics.HCENTER|Graphics.TOP); } protected void keyPressed(int key){ switch ( getGameAction(key) ){ case Canvas.FIRE: ct.changeScreen(this); break; } } } public class TestForm2 extends Canvas{ private CallTest ct; public TestForm2(CallTest ct){ this.ct = ct; this.setFullScreenMode(true); } protected void paint(Graphics g) { //fill background with some gray g.setColor(0xcccccc); g.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()); g.setColor(0x000000); g.drawString("Other string on scr 2", this.getWidth()/2, this.getHeight()/3, Graphics.HCENTER|Graphics.TOP); } protected void keyPressed(int key){ switch ( getGameAction(key) ){ case Canvas.FIRE: ct.changeScreen(this); break; } } } }

Just one week ago, the New York Yankees were on a nice little run, having won 11 of their previous 16 games. They led the AL East by two games. No peeps were heard from any Steinbrenner around; peace and contentment reigned in the Bronx.
Tonight the Yankees, now a game behind the Red Sox in the AL East, find themselves losers of three of their last five games and, having allowed 17 runs to the visitors from Boston in the first two games of their series at Yankee Stadium, are faced with the prospect of winning tonight or getting swept in their home park by their bitterest rival and falling two games off the pace in the East.
It is with that in mind that they send their biggest (figuratively and literally) warrior to the mound tonight. Of course, it's CC Sabathia's turn in the rotation anyway. But let's not let facts get in the way of a great narrative -- MLB Network wouldn't have it otherwise! And, just to continue the "great pitching matchup as sheer coincidence" meme, Josh Beckett will take the mound for Boston.
This is not the first time these two hurlers have met this season; in fact, it will be the third such matchup. Both of the previous meetings have been all Boston. On April 10 at Fenway Park, Beckett threw eight shutout innings, struck out ten Yankees and allowed just two harmless singles in a 4-0 Boston victory. Six more Beckett scoreless frames followed on May 14 at Yankee Stadium; that day, the Bosox scorched Sabathia for six runs, the crowning blow Adrian Gonzalez's three-run homer that put the game away. Final score: Boston 6, New York 0.
So there's a lot at stake here for the Yankees, beyond just one game up or down in the mid-June standings. It's taking back what they believe to be rightfully theirs, the dominance of the series over their rivals from the Fens. However, the Bostonians have made a definitive statement thus far in the 2011 season. The teams have met eight times already in this season barely a third completed, and the pinstripers from New York have won but once, a 9-4 pasting of the Red Sox on April 9. The Red Sox have won all five meetings in New York so far this season.
Gauntlets thus thrown, the clubs begin play at 7 p.m. ET; of course, it can be viewed nationwide on the MLB Network.

I learned some stuff hanging out with these guys... looks like a standard Cub manifold... You can tell by the flange size at the carb.
I think my Cub came with a 154 manifold and exhaust (someone pointed out the larger flange on the manifold in a close up of the carb)
Sorry but the exhaust went in the trash a long time ago.

With one of our cheap flights to Jamaica, you can set your watch to island time and just relax, Mon. The beaches are open all day, and many lounges are open all night. You are free to spend a day napping in a hammock while soothing Reggae music lulls you to sleep. If you prefer physical activity, you will not be disappointed. Snorkeling and scuba expeditions are usually available any time of day. However, some diving adventures require advance reservations. It is best to plan them immediately after you book your flight to Jamaica. You may prefer to go hiking on land instead of taking a sea adventure. Fortunately, there are plenty of areas for this purpose. Be sure to see the unique Blue Hole Mineral Spring, which is a natural water resort in Negril. The Blue Mountains in Kingston are also a scenic choice for hikers. After you and your family book your cheap Jamaica flights, be sure to research reliable travel guides who can accompany you on any outdoor expeditions.
After booking a cheap flight to Jamaica, do not forget to pack insect repellent with DEET. If you take a horseback tour from Hooves, you will be happy you packed it. For a unique experience, visit the Frenchman's Cove. This little piece of heaven is quiet and peaceful. There are also plenty of options for shopping enthusiasts. However, most vendors accept only cash for the souvenirs they sell. Be sure to try some famous Jamaican jerk dishes before leaving. You may also enjoy a bobsled experience similar to those in the famous "Cool Runnings" movie on Magic Mountain. Aside from the availability of cheap flights to Jamaica, this is one of the experiences travelers rave about the most. Go pack your sunscreen, and enjoy your trip to paradise.

The Penetangore Pipe Band
The Penetangore Pipe Band is a competition band that provides advanced instruction in bag pipes and drums.
Formed in 2001, Penetangore is registered as a not-for-profit corporation. Its purpose is to enhance the art form of pipes and drums by sustaining an organization in its host region that can successfully compete at the North American Championship Highland Games and the World Championship Highland Games.
Named after a river that flows to Lake Huron, Penetangore is pronounced Pen-ne-tang-gore. It is believed to be a deviation from an Ojibwe word that Scottish settlers understood to mean "river with sand on one side."
The Penetangore Pipe Band wears corporate tartan provided by Bruce Power. The band is led by Pipe Major Dave Goodall, Pipe Sergeant Doug Wickham, Drum Sergeant Jeff Boyle and Music Director Jake Watson. Ed Burgess serves as Drum Major.
The Penetangore Pipe Band is recruiting members for its 2015 - 2016 program which gets underway in September. Please contact us if you are interested.

A DeKalb County grandmother is hoping that the thieves who stole her car will return the mobility scooter that was in the trunk. Diane Jolly said the car was taken from the parking lot at the Druid Forest Condominiums last week. The 72-year-old woman said she's been disabled for 20 years with knee, back and hip problems that have gotten progressively worse. After she gets her Social Security check and pays her rent, buys groceries and medicine, Jolly said there's almost no money left. She's worried how she'll get around without a car and her scooter.The crooks also got her ID, checkbook and credit cards that were in her locked car. Jolly said that her bank reimbursed her for the unauthorized charges, but it is that much-needed scooter that she really prays will return."Bring back my scooter and leave it at the front. I don't care. No questions asked," Jolly said.DeKalb County police said they are investigating the car theft, but don't have any leads yet.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Seniors living on fixed incomes, the working poor, people with disabilities or terminal illnesses, and the homeless will benefit when Rancho Coastal Humane Society expands the services of its Community Pet Food Bank starting Saturday, November 3. Homeless and financially disadvantaged pet owners are invited to pick up free pet food and other supplies during the Grand Opening from 9:00 to 11:00 Saturday morning at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas.
"These are people who have so little, yet share everything they have with their pets," says RCHS Community Liaison, Nick Winfrey. "RCHS has been providing pet food for needy people for quite some time. Now it's time to increase our efforts."
RCHS spokesman John Van Zante relates the story of a homeless girl who was asked why she didn't give up her dog. "She said she had been homeless four months, and that her dog was her only source of support and stability. She said she would 'lose it' if it wasn't for her dog."
Winfrey adds, "Pets give unconditional love and a sense of normalcy for someone living on the streets, on a fixed income, or the working poor. Homeless shelters are not equipped to take pets so their owners stay on the street, share their meals, or go without food so their pets can eat."
The National Coalition for the Homeless says many homeless pet owners avoid veterinary care because they're afraid they won't get their pets back. The Drake Center for Veterinary Care in Encinitas will join the Community Pet Food Bank at RCHS to offer free examinations and vaccinations for the dogs and cats of clients during the grand opening.
Winfrey explains, "We'll have leashes and collars, blankets, flea treatment, and more. RCHS has received lots of donations, but this problem is not going away anytime soon. We're asking people to give until if feels good."
The Community Pet Food Bank at RCHS will be open two Saturdays per month from 9:00 to 11:00 AM at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas. Donations to the Community Pet Food Bank can be made any time. For more information visit RCHS, log on to www.sdpets.org, or call Nick Winfrey at 760-753-6413 x 104.

Querétero: Rocketing to the Top Mexico's Aerospace Industry
Querétero: Rocketing to the Top Mexico's Aerospace Industry
In 2006 Bombardier, the world's third-largest commercial airplane builder, opened a factory in the central Mexican state of Querétero. At the time, Querétero only hosted two other aerospace companies, and the total number of jobs generated by the industry in the state numbered about 100.
Yet Bombardier saw a bright future for itself in Mexico, based on three factors. Mexico's proximity to the United States and Canada meant that parts could be delivered in a matter of days, a far cry from the 4-6 weeks it would take to get them to the States from Asia. Moreover, Querétero is in the same time zone as Bombardier's other major production facility in Wichita, Kansas, and its headquarters in Montreal, Canada, making conference calls and day-to-day coordination easier to arrange.
Second, Mexico's competitive wages also helped. In a recent interview conducted by Guy Taylor of the Washington Times, Nicolas Maillard, director of a French aerospace company with a plant in Chihuahua City, said: "In France, labor would account for about 30 percent of the cost of production on an item like this," referring to brakes for jumbo jets. "Here, it's roughly ten percent." Also, inflation in Mexico is lower than in Brazil or China, allaying multinational's concerns that large factories won't be price competitive years down the road.
Finally, Mexico offers a wealth of engineering talent. A recent article in the Miami Herald reported, Mexico has, per capita, three times as many engineering graduates as the United States.
The move worked. In addition to the benefits Bombardier counted on, a slew of intermediate suppliers moved to Mexico, including Cessna, Fokker, Hawker Beechcraft and Honeywell. From 2006-2011, Mexico's aerospace industry more than doubled in size. Exports of aircraft and related parts topped $4.3 billion last year.
Of the various expansion announced by airplane parts makers in Mexico, perhaps GE's is the most ambitious. Known as GEIQ, the 8,000-square meter advanced testing center in Querétero is already the company's largest facility outside of the United States. Currently, the facility focuses on designing and testing software and parts, but it's ramping up operations. By 2015, GE will invest an additional $20 million in the facility, in part so that it can assume much of the work for GE's "ecoimagination" series of engines and parts, which will provide the likes of the Airbus A380 with more power while using less fuel.
Industry insiders often draw parallels to Mexico's formidable car industry. In the 1970s Mexico produced parts for a handful of US and German automakers. Over the course of the next twenty years the country came to make the whole car. In 2011, 14 percent of all US cars were made in Mexico, bringing the country more revenue than tourism or oil.
If anything, aerospace stands to become an even more dynamic industry in Mexico than autos. José Luis Enríquez, head of Nordam Mexico, an offshoot of an Oklahoma-based aerospace outfit, predicts, "the difference is the evolution won't take 40 years, it will occur much, much faster because the Mexican government now knows how to develop an industry like this. It learned a thing or two from the first time around with the auto industry."
One thing the Mexican government has evidently learned is the importance of providing appropriate education. The federal and local governments have invested more than $20 million in vocational programs over the past decade in order to ensure ample supply of skilled workers. In concert with Bombardier engineers and academics from across the continent, the Querétero University of Technology devised a series of 3-6 month programs to train factory technicians specializing in fields ranging from precision machining to composite materials.
And based on commitments from Bombardier and Safran Group, a Paris-based aeronautics conglomerate, the Querétero state government helped launch an aeronautics university in 2009. It will soon graduate its first class of 40-plus engineers. Executives from Europe and the United States routinely cite government support and willingness of university academics to craft appropriate training programs as unique factors that draw investment to Querétero.
While Querétero is the country's leading hub, Mexico's aerospace industry now features over 260 firms, spread out over 16 of the country's 31 states, and employing more than 31,000 people. The pace of growth in recent years has been stunning considering the global economic headwinds. Yet supply still doesn't meet demand. Currently, the number of jet craft produced falls short of global demand by anywhere from 30-50 percent, according to industry estimates. Given forecasts for strong demand and the government's far-sighted investment in training, the aerospace industry may not be so much taking off in Mexico as it is landing.

July 22, 2007
By Donna Hopper SooToday.com There was fire, smoke, explosions, fireworks and a sea of rabid fans wearing the clothing and make-up of their favourite band in the world. They belong to the KISS Army and nearly 10,000 of them from around the globe converged on the Kewadin Casino in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan Friday night to witness what Mayor Bosbous proclaimed to be KISS Appreciation Day. Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan was one of only three dates scheduled in 2007 for the band with the most loyal fans in rock n' roll history. Quite an honour indeed. In a quiet ceremony prior to the show, Ray Bauer bestowed the Key to the City to the members of KISS for their contribution to the music industry, commitment to their craft and undying devotion to their fans. CLICK HERE to watch video from backstage including the band receiving the key to Sault Ste Marie.

CLEVELAND -- The Indians are expected to get two of their best hitters back Friday.Both Shin-Soo Choo (sprained right thumb) and Asdrubal Cabrera (fractured right forearm) are suiting up for Double-A Akron on a Minor League rehab assignment this week, with an eye on rejoining the Tribe for Friday's series opener against the Rays. They'll both play for the Aeros on Monday through Wednesday. Though manager Manny Acta didn't initially think a Minor League rehab assignment would be necessary for Choo, Choo himself insisted on going down to Akron this week to see live pitching. "The last time I played was July 1 [actually, July 2]," Choo said. "So I have not seen a pitcher for 20 days. I take batting practice every day, but I want to see a pitcher to get more comfortable." Choo has ramped up his return-to-hit program this weekend. On Sunday, he took outdoor batting practice for the first time since the injury. He took about 50 swings outdoors and had no setbacks with the hand. While hitting, Choo has his thumb supported by a splint and wrapped in tape. But the pain has subsided, the ligament does not appear to be damaged and a surgery that once seemed inevitable has been avoided. That's good news for the Indians, who thought they might be without Choo for up to two months. Instead, they should have him back in a matter of days. Cabrera was out of action for two months after suffering the forearm fracture, which required surgery. But he hasn't felt the least bit rusty during his rehab assignment. "Everything feels really good," said Cabrera, who was in the Indians' clubhouse Sunday morning. On Saturday in Akron, Cabrera played nine innings at shortstop for the first time on his assignment. He is 3-for-10 in three games with the Aeros and was 2-for-6 in two games with Class A Mahoning Valley. The Indians wanted him to get somewhere in the vicinity of 30 at-bats on this rehab assignment. The only prominent member of the Indians' lineup who won't be coming back from the DL is center fielder Grady Sizemore, who is done for the season after microfracture surgery on his left knee.
Todd to get another chance with Tribe
CLEVELAND -- The Indians will boost their bullpen for a few days, promoting right-hander Jess Todd from Triple-A Columbus before Monday's series opener with the Twins.Todd will take the roster spot of Jeanmar Gomez, who was sensational in a spot start against the Tigers on Sunday. With more roster moves looming later in the week, when Shin-Soo Choo and Asdrubal Cabrera come back from the DL, the Indians will go with an eight-man bullpen for a few days. The player to be named in last year's trade that sent Mark DeRosa to the Cardinals, Todd got hit hard in the big leagues in '09. He had a 7.40 ERA in 19 appearances for the Tribe. With Columbus this year, Todd is 3-2 with a 2.75 ERA in 34 appearances. He's struck out 46 and walked 12 in 39 1/3 innings. "He's been throwing the ball very well the last month or so," manager Manny Acta said of Todd. "He had a little bit of a rough time last year, but it was his first time in the big leagues. We're going to take another look at him."
Hernandez designated to give Tribe space
CLEVELAND -- Anderson Hernandez arrived to Progressive Field on Sunday morning, changed into his workout clothes, got called into manager Manny Acta's office, came out and changed back into his street clothes.Hernandez was informed by the Indians that he had been designated for assignment to make room for right-hander Jeanmar Gomez, who was promoted from Triple-A Columbus to make Sunday's spot start against the Tigers. And understandably, Hernandez wasn't happy. It was the second time he has been designated by the club this year. "I'm not surprised," he said. "It happened once, so it could happen again." Hernandez had a chance to compete for the Indians' regular second-base job after Luis Valbuena was optioned to Columbus on June 24. But Jayson Nix beat him out, leaving Hernandez, who hit .246 (15-for-61) in 22 games, in a utility role. The Indians were initially going to send down a reliever to make room for Gomez, but after playing 11 innings in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, they needed a full stock of arms for Sunday's game. "I don't feel really good, because I didn't do great," Hernandez said. "It had to be somebody [to get sent out]. This time, it's me." Hernandez said he would accept an assignment to Columbus if he clears waivers. The Indians are expected to make another move before Monday's series opener in Minnesota, because Gomez figures to only be with the team for a day.
Worth noting
Anthony Reyes, recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery, pitched two innings in the Rookie-level Arizona League on Saturday, beginning a 30-day rehab assignment in the Minors. He is scheduled to make another start in the Arizona League on July 23. Manager Manny Acta said Reyes could provide depth later in the year, when the Indians begin limiting the workload for some of their young arms in the rotation. ... The reason Justin Masterson was pushed back from his expected start Sunday to Tuesday in Minneapolis was because he twisted his left ankle when he missed a step at home. The injury is not serious. ... The last time the Indians began the second half of a season 4-0 was 1995... On Saturday against the Tigers, Fausto Carmona walked six batters but managed to record the win for the second time this year. He's the only pitcher in the Majors to do that this season. The last Indians pitcher to do it was Rick Sutcliffe, teammate of current STO broadcaster Rick Manning, in 1982. ... Right-handed relievers Zach Putnam and Rob Bryson have both ascended a level in the Minors. Putnam was 4-1 with three saves and a 3.86 ERA for Double-A Akron and will join Triple-A Columbus. Bryson was 2-1 with one save and a 2.25 ERA for Class A Kinston and will join Akron. ... For more on the Tribe, visit the CastroTurf blog at http://castrovince.mlblogs.com.

on the beach. Even during peak summer season you feel you have the
island to yourself.
Enjoy just basking in the sun, swimming, fishing, exploring or
camping all on the island. You'll never go back to the crowds in
nearby beaches once you experience St. George Island...truly
the "Uncommon Florida".
Enjoy safely riding, running, cycling the length of island on a
dedicated path. Great park for kids on the beach and a short walk
from the unit.
Nearby Apalachicola is a wonderful place to walk enjoy unique shops
and great restaurants...only 15 minute drive off island.

I just bought a Ferguson DO41B LTwo row Lister planter at an auction for $70. Its all there except the seed plates and the roller chain for the ground drive mechanism is borken into several peices. Im gonna restore this because I like the fact that it is so versatile. Basically it is a universal mounting frame with two middle busters on it, and it is adjustable to use it in so many positions. I even have the hillers with it. And the seed cans are in great shape. I was just wondering if anyone has used one fo these. And maybe someone will know where to get parts or seed [plates for it.
Here is a few pics that are from another site, Ill post pics of my own when this snow storm clears up.
