If you think the Rolling Stones never give up touring the planet, wait until you get a look at King Tut's current US tour. After stops in Los Angeles, Ft. Lauderdale, and Chicago, the tour heads to London and Japan. Not bad for a boy king who died over 3,000 years ago under mysterious circumstances. Heading up the design for Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs are AEG Exhibitions, Arts and Exhibitions International, National Geographic, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, McMillan Group, Inc., and lighting designer Rick Belzer.
A seasoned theatrical lighting veteran with assisting duties to such industry luminaries as Tharon Musser (They're Playing Our Song, Chapter Two) and David Hersey (Cats, Starlight Express), not to mention designing his own Broadway shows (Marlowe, Manny), and designing Andrew Lloyd Webber shows internationally including Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph, Starlight Express, and 19 productions of Cats, Belzer never understood the museum world's mentality of essentially wash lighting everything. "I try to focus on the objects and then wash the background," he explains. "I fight really hard to have control over the elements. We have the ability to use gels and dim and really balance the background." Instead, an edict came in to use the museum's track lighting (the Los Angeles County Museum Art for the first leg of the tour). "So at the end of the day, you're sitting there with a 20W bulb that's too bright, and I want a 10W bulb, but they don't make one [for that fixture]. Then you start to cut out a window screen and stick it in to the fixture to knock down the levels! In the end, after much haggling, we got 85% of the exhibit controlled as we originally wanted." Sam Renbert was Belzer's associate LD.
According to the McMillan Group's Charlie McMillan who, with his wife Nancy, served as the exhibit's lead designers, the goal was to create a journey for the visitor that would take them from Egyptian bazaars to sweltering deserts to enclosed tombs and beyond and lighting was integral in achieving those environments. "It's an interesting mix because there was a delicate balance between traditional art museum lighting and trying to use lighting as a major design element," McMillan explains. "The effects may be somewhat subtle but they were critical in telling the story and pulling the objects together to create continuity."
As the title of the tour implies, the artifacts on display are not just from King Tut's tomb, but also from rulers and the time period prior to Tut's birth, especially his father, quite a controversial figure in his day. Visitors' first experience in the exhibit is a film that puts the viewer in the age of the pharaohs. For the theatre and the exhibit's entry, Belzer discovered a new way to bring subtle color into the scheme via Hurricane, UT-based SFX Lighting. Instead of using gels or traditional filters, SFX sprayed the desired color directly onto the lamp. The company custom sprayed 90W flood lamps that went into Lightolier PAR38 cans to match Lee 776, Belzer says. "They can match any gel color you want, and they just spray the bulb so you're not messing around trying to gel a fixture that wasn't meant to be gelled."
Lightolier fixtures were on the museum's house track, and other PAR cans were Thomas Short Noses along with ETC Source Four® Lekos and PARs. Belzer used TMB baby PARs — 110V PAR16s with a 9° MR lamp — called Stubby PARs in tight spaces where there was no room for transformers. Heat was also an issue because Belzer certainly didn't want children to get their fingers burned. After searching high and low for the right 110V lamp, he discovered the Stubby PARs that were bright enough, were able to be gelled, and kept a 2" gap between the lamp and the fixture opening.
Once the film is over, the next step is the first gallery of the exhibit that McMillan says has almost the highest light levels possible for a museum in order to give the feeling of being in a desert. This gallery features the objects of everyday Egyptian life and is equipped with ETC Source Fours, PAR20 spots, Lighting & Electronics MR16 striplights, TMB and Thomas PAR56 MFLs, and Lightolier PAR38 spot and flood fixtures.
Another gallery has a more reverent tone in the lighting as it features religious icons from the era. "The lighting takes on a different quality and drops in levels because the objects needed less light and the feeling of the space went from a bazaar-like feel to formality," McMillan says. To bring reverence to the artifacts, Belzer used Source Fours, BDI Lights PL-1000 pin spots, and MR16s. Meanwhile, another gallery is devoted to Tutankhamun's father and the color and saturation is more intense as the centerpiece of the room is a huge bust of the elder Tut with lighting created to mimic shafts of sunlight beaming down upon the statue. The addition of sidelight lets the lighting take part in the storytelling, McMillan adds. Again, Source Fours were abundant as were PL-1000 pin spots, PAR20 floods, and PAR16 spots.
For a gallery devoted to burial and the afterlife, the light levels reach a new low, so to speak. This gallery was a challenge because of the room's shape — a cartouche or irregular oval — with projected images of Egyptian hieroglyphics depicting various stages of the "journey of the dead" from a central point in the room. Attempts to create the effect using Source Four Zooms and gobos were not getting the desired effect, and Belzer was preparing to cut it when Frans Klinkenberg from Angstrom Lighting invited Belzer to his shop 20 minutes away. Klinkenberg had modified a Selecon Pacific Zoom to hold 3×4 slides, thus creating a projector. "The optics are unbelievable," Belzer says. "You don't have any fall-off at the edge of the image; it's sharp across the whole field. The lensing is amazing, and they go from 30° to 75°, which I didn't even know you could get. We put one up [in the gallery to try it out] then we bought [five] the next day."
The various hieroglyph projections were created by McMillan on his laptop, printed up on film, and then put into the projectors to see how it looked on the walls. "We spent a couple of long nights doing that," McMillan says. "But the end result was pretty cool because it adds to the stylization of the tomb and makes the objects themselves important." Once the achieved result was created, the film was sent out to be made into a slide overnight. "You didn't have any time to deal with waiting for a glass gobo to be made, then sticking it in, and seeing that the keystoning is still messed up," Belzer says.
Glass fiber optics supplied by Lighting Services, Inc. provided extra punch in a gallery devoted to Tut's legacy. "We wanted to get as much light as we could on the objects while also keeping the color balance," McMillan says. "Ken Kane [LSI's vice president of product and market development] stopped by the studio often and the package they gave us was simply flawless. We got exactly what we needed from those glass fiber optics." LSI supplied the FOMH-150C Illuminator, Custom Glass Fiber Optic Harnesses, and FOLE adjustable spotlights.
Unlike traditional exhibit lighting where there may be one or two instruments trained on an object, Belzer ended up hitting some objects from six different positions to get all the little details. "It's much more about control, dimming, and different angles," he explains. "It helps to have a soft glow on the floor in a dark room. You aim a light on a teeny detail, and it just pops out. It just becomes richer. The gold on an object becomes that much more gold."
Belzer programmed Tut on a ETC Express™ 250 console and switched over to a SmartFade, which was originally only used for backup in the theatre. Budgetary constraints did not allow for a console purchase, so the Express 250 was rented until the tour opened. He is hoping to get an Express 250 once the tour settles in Ft. Lauderdale so he can have plenty of submasters when the inevitable phone call comes to make the hieroglyphics brighter. "I'm a big ETC fan," he says. "I've been using their consoles for 20 years; it's what I spec on my touring shows."
Aside from lighting the objects, the biggest challenge the design team faced was dealing with the curators. "They were concerned with the archival accuracy of color," McMillan says. "A lot of people involved in this were from entertainment field and [the curators] were afraid we were going to bring in disco balls and lasers."
According to Belzer, who will have lit seven different exhibits by the end of 2005, too much of the focus in traditional exhibit lighting is on the objects and nothing else, and by providing ambient lighting in other areas and not just typical white light from tracks, a better balance in the space can be achieved. Belzer, who also designed the lighting for Titanic: The Artifacts Exhibition, which is selling out on various tours around the US and the world, feels that introducing a more theatrical style of lighting to museums will make the exhibits more appealing for the average person. Considering Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs received a glowing review on the front page of The New York Times — mentioning the lighting three times — Belzer may be onto something.
Tut & Company stays at LACMA until November 15th. Then moves to the Museum of Art in Ft. Lauderdale, The Field Museum in Chicago and the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia before traveling abroad to London and Japan.

PowerCats player Ben Safford passes the ball up to his brother Sam, who quickly spins around a defender and effortlessly slips the ball past the goalie for the first score of the game. Sam pumps his chest and races back to the centerline cheered by a boisterous crowd of friends and family.
As the University of New Hampshire football hosts William and Mary down the street, the Hamel Center on the Durham, N.H., campus is rocking as well. The Northeast Passage PowerCats are hosting the Sudbury Sharpshooters for a double-header of "Power Soccer" and parents, friends, students and curiosity seekers pack the metal stands at the baseline and cheer loudly as the game is underway.
Sam and Ben Safford, of Pelham, N.H., and students at Methuen's Fellowship Academy, are two members of the PowerCats, a team in the wheelchair sport of Power Soccer, which is gaining momentum throughout the country. The fast-paced, action-packed, light-contact sport combines the skills of the wheelchair operator with the speed and power of the chair itself.
The chairs are equipped with a metal or plastic foot guard and engineered to race at just over 6 mph. Two teams of four (three players and a goalie) attack, defend, and spin-kick a 13-inch rubber ball in a strategic game similar to soccer. The game is exciting, zippy and fascinating, but more importantly, life changing for everyone involved.
Kait King, the PowerCats head coach rallies the team like any coach would: "You're doing great," "nice pass," "awesome save" and "get back on defense!" are repeated on cue.
Northeast Passage, King's employer and the organization behind the PowerCats, works with individuals with disabilities to create an environment where they can enjoy the same recreation with the same quality of life and independence as their non-disabled peers. Power Soccer provides just that opportunity, where athletes can take it to the next level, the Paralympics, should their dreams be to do so.

PNC Bank and Invest Atlanta are providing $24 million in funding to support the first phase of construction for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
PNC officials say the center has received an $11 million New Markets Tax Credit from PNC and an additional $13 million tax credit from Invest Atlanta — formerly known as the Atlanta Development Authority.
David Gibson, of the PNC Bank Tax Credit Investment Group, says the bank partnered with Invest Atlanta to support the center about nine months ago.
The three-story, 42,000 square foot museum is slated to be built in Atlanta's Pemberton Place neighborhood, near the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.
The first phase of construction — set to begin in March — is expected to create 700 jobs.

Patch dropped by the office of , to get his perspective on the city as he prepares to leave on March 15.
"I would say probably the most significant thing I've noticed since I've been here in Piedmont is the tremendous volunteerism and support of the community," he said in an interview Friday. "Very few cities, I believe, have this number of people giving their time to the community."
Bichsel, who's been Piedmont's Director of Finance & Human Resources since 1992, pointed to the hardworking city council members, who receive no compensation, and the many citizens who volunteer large amounts of time for city committees and commissions.
He singled out the panel he works closely with, the Piedmont Municipal Tax Review Committee, whose nine volunteer members probably met 25 times between March and October to compile their recent 31-page report. They also had to present their findings at public forums with PowerPoint presentations and synopses, he noted.
It would have cost the city more $100,000 to hire a public accounting firm to prepare such a report, and an outside firm's report would likely be of lower quality than what the committe produced, he said.
And despite the hard work, 30 people applied for the nine positions on the committee, Bichsel said.
"That's true of not just the tax committee," he said. "That's true of all our city commissions."
"It's just incredible the enthusiasm the community has for their city here."
By contrast, in Castro Valley, where he lives, residents have twice voted down the option to form a city. (Castro Valley is unicorporated.)
He noted also Piedmont's willingness to keep renewing a parcel tax for city services, in addition to one for the school district and one for sewers. The city parcel tax, which runs about $1,000 a year for a typical home, brings in $1.6 million, or about 7 percent of general fund revenue, Bichsel said.
Asked why he's leaving and his plans for the future, Bichsel said he's still considering a number of options and that the timing seemed right for him to leave. "I feel it's the right decision," he said. "I'm going to be 65 in May."
Among the biggest future financial challenges meanwhile for the city and for the new finance director, Erick Cheung, who comes on board March 6, will be containing the costs of medical benefits and pensions for city employees, he said, noting that the problem is widely shared by state and local governments alike. He believes the city has developed strategies that will have successfully resolved those problems by 2020 or 2012, he said.
"I think that Piedmont will weather this," he said.
"I think the community spirit here, the volunteer spirit and the willingness to delve into the issues will continue to make this a top-tier city."

X-Men: First Class
Jennifer Lawrence Lands 2nd Place in Hottest New Hollywood Actresses!
Total Film has compiled a list of the 30 Hottest New Hollywood Actresses and our very own Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) landed the #2 spot right behind Emma Stone as #1! Here is what they had to say about Jennifer:
The Actress: Oscar-nominated for her turn in indie favourite Winter's Bone, Lawrence has since wowed the multiplex crowd with her eye-catching performance as Mystique in X-Men: First Class. First rule of showbusiness: wearing nothing but blue paint is a sure-fire way of getting yourself known…
Why So Hot? The Hunger Games series might just be the next Harry Potter (or at least that's what Lionsgate will be hoping), or at the very least, the next Twilight. Starring as the saga's feisty heroine Katniss Everdeen, and with a reappearance in the next X-Men movie also likely, Lawrence is set to take her place at the very top of the A-list.

New Pictures: Jennifer Lawrence Poses For GQ!
Above is a beautiful new picture of Hunger Games heroine Jennifer Lawrence (aka Katniss Everdeen) for GQ Magazine!
The new photo shoot also contains an interview with X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn stating that it was a no-brainer casting Jennifer as the part of Mystique-
In June's X-Men: First Class, the franchise reboot-slash-origin story set in the 1960s, Lawrence's color palette shifts to electric blue. She plays the budding mutant Mystique, a fleshy role that was first inhabited on-screen by Rebecca Romijn—which means the series is graduating from an actress with a body for the part to one who can actually play it. Englishman Matthew Vaughn directs, and he didn't need to see Winter's Bone for proof that Lawrence was right for the role. (He still hasn't seen it.) For Vaughn, she was just a no-name girl from Kentucky who popped on her X-Men audition tape. "There are a lot of young American actors right now who haven't got any technique," says Vaughn. "And to be blunt, a lot of these kids assume that just by having a good set of teeth and tits, smiling for the camera's gonna be enough. I needed someone who could act."

Vernon, Vermont - March 10, 2011
Federal regulators say the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon is fit to be open for another 20 years. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has voted to extend the license after rejecting an objection filed by an anti-nuclear group.
The New England Coalition hoped the NRC would take more time before issuing the 20-year license renewal.
But the NRC said Yankee passed an extensive safety and technical review which federal inspectors started back in 2006.
This comes despite a series of problems at the plant recently, from a collapsed water cooling tower to ongoing issues with radioactive tritium leaks.
"As with any facility we regulate, we monitor on a daily basis the performance of these facilities. Whether it's in one year or 41 years if there's an issue that causes concerns for a plant to operate safely we would take appropriate action to shut down that plant," said Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the NRC.
The NRC has never denied a nuclear plant a license extension.
The NRC says it will formally issue Vermont Yankee's new license in a matter of days. But under Vermont law, the state Public Service Board and the Vt. Legislature must also approve the license extension. The Vt. Senate has already voted against Yankee and legislative leaders say they have no intention of reconsidering the issue this year.
Late Thursday, Vermont's congressional delegation released a statement that said, "We believe that Entergy should respect and abide by Vermont's laws, which require approval from the Vermont Legislature, and then the Vermont Public Service Board, for the plant to continue to operate beyond 2012."
Gov. Peter Shumlin said in a statement, "Today's vote from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not unexpected, and does not change the fact that Vermont Yankee still needs approval from the state to continue operating beyond its 2012 license expiration. I am pleased that the NRC is reaffirming Vermont's authority to determine the plant's future. Given the serious radioactive tritium leaks and the recent tritium test results, the source of which has yet to be determined, and other almost weekly problems occurring at this facility, I remain convinced that it is not in the public good for the plant to remain open beyond its scheduled closing in 2012."

1st know that I love Barley wines, and as such already have a bit of a personal bias as to what I expect. Smoothness with a nice blend of flavors is key. Semisweet, rich developed flavors that last but don't over power, a clean tapering light bitter finish. Smoothness not only in flavor but in carbonation.
OKay, this disappointed me. Not that it was bad, no sir, still on my 10 ten Barley's, but I did not find the smoothness in flavor or "texture" I would have expected. Bit harsh - would have better labeled it an aged IPA. I still like it and would recommend it to any strong IPA lover. Just needed to explain by bias and view point. Great beer/ale, just missed my expectations.

This barleywine is dark red-brown with bright, almost violet-red highlights through its body. The tan head is one finger tall, shows good retention, and fades very slowly and never completely. There's not as much lacing as I'd expect considering its consistency and stature, but it's more than moderate.
The aroma holds lots of dark fruits with a mix of sweetness and tang, a tinge of alcohol to it, and some roasted grains underneath. It's got an interesting character, especially with the yeast and the slight buttery note Shipyard tends to convey.
The taste is more rounded and complete. It's still got an interesting roasted malt character leaning more toward a different style, and the fruity tang and sweetness are still there. In the flavor, though, there's a good deal more floral and perfumey hops bitterness, and it works. It's certainly on the edge for an English version of the style.
Carbonation's a bit high, but it slows down. Unfortunately, it can only do that by flattening out a little on the end. It's crisp until then, and it's got some smoothness to the medium body.

From the 650 ml. bottle. 2012 batch cellared for a year. Sampled on December 26, 2013.
It has a dark brown to deep amber pour with a full, long lasting off-white, soft silky head. Served around 55 degrees.
I love the aroma which not only includes the omnipresent Shipyard Ringwood yeast, but also includes dark malts, raisins, sweetness, melted butter and no booze considering it is a barleywine. Subtle hops.
The body still has a lot of depth to it so I would call it medium to bold easily.
The taste has an array of sweet malts, raisins, brown sugar, dark fruit, and quite subtle hops. This beer definitely got better with age and I am glad I had the patience to wait.

Vintage: 2009 ( Personally Aged 4yrs.)
Poured a deep brown mahogany in color, an almost black, w/ a tan 1 finger head that left nice lacing. Aromas of caramel, coffee, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The flavor was of caramel, toffee, and big roasted coffee notes, finishing with molasses and hop bite. Medium bodied and lush. Pretty drinkable as the ABV was well hidden.
Overall, nice brew that was enjoyable, but confusing. This beer drank almost like a black and tan of imperial stout and barleywine. This needs to be reclassified as an American Strong Ale.

It's a bit darker than I remember most other barleywines being, though that could be because it's an English. Rich, dark brown (very dark brown, not quite black) color. So dark you can't see haze, though I believe it's there. The head is a finger thick initially, but doesn't retain well.
Umm, can you say malts? Splashes of chocolate, licorice, caramel, vanilla fill the nose. Similar to an American version, but with more sweet things. Each swirl is pleasant. As it warms, more fruity scents are released.
For the style, it's right up there. Everything you smell makes its way to the taste. A symphony of desserty items. With the chocolate and fruit, it's like a combination of a porter and a Belgian dark ale.
Smooth and creamy, full bodied. Very sweet, but never crossing the line. Feels like a milk stout due to the sweetness. Minimal hop presence, mostly for balance. Same goes for ABV. It's up there, but gentle. Only a tap of heat, not a punch in the stomach. Very easy to drink with a lingering battle between sweet, bitter and hot in the finish.
Overall, this is not what I expected. I'll start brinking more barleywines of the English style rather than the American style if they're all like this. Tastes great, goes down easy, hidden alcohol content. Not much to improve upon.

22 oz bottle pours a darker than usual hazed brown with a thick cap of tan head. Great retention and lacing.
Nose throws down some serious dark fruit - blackberry jam, raisins and brown sugared figs. I like it.
Taste is lots of fruit and a smooth cache of unsweetened chocolate and brown bread maltiness. Im somewhat impressed with this - I like the varied take on the style, it is something like a quad meets barleywine. Hides the ABV well and really is pretty smooth. I could stand to grab another 1 or 2 of these...seems like it would age fairly well for a year or so.

The then Ethiopian Air Lines commenced its operations in April 1946 with a flight from Addis Ababa to Cairo via Asmara. Soon, the airlines had extended its services to several domestic and international destinations; however, the flights started plying on long-haul routes in the early 1950s. With the onset of 1960s, Ethiopian Airlines set up its headquarters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa. In 1963, the carrier inaugurated its first jet services operating the Addis Ababa–Nairobi route. The carrier changed its name to Ethiopian Airlines in 1965 and after the completion of its 25 years, in 1971, revised its management responsibilities. Over next three decades, Ethiopian focused on acquiring next generation aircrafts for its fleet. In December 2011, Ethiopian Airlines became the 28th member airline of the Star Alliance.

Early Life & Career of George Anson:
Born April 23, 1697, George Anson was the second son of William and Isabella Anson of Colwich, Staffordshire. The sister-in-law of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Macclesfield, Anson's mother was able to provide some political influence for her son. Entering the Royal Navy on February 2, 1712, Anson proved a quick study and rapidly earned his superiors' respect. Serving on several vessels, he was commissioned as a lieutenant aboard HMS Hampshire (50 guns) by Sir John Norris in 1716. Remaining with the ship for another year, he was shifted to HMS Montagu (60) in 1718.
Serving as Montagu's second lieutenant, he took part in Admiral Sir George Byng's victory at the Battle of Cape Passaro on August 11, 1718. After a period aboard Byng's flagship, HMS Barfleur (90), Anson was promoted to commander in 1722, and given command of the sloop HMS Weazel (8). Employed in the North Sea, Weazel was tasked with intercepting smugglers. A rising star, he was elevated to post-captain in 1724, and given command of the frigate HMS Scarborough. Dispatched to the South Carolina coast, he was ordered protect British commerce in the area from Spanish cruisers and pirates.
Returning to England in 1730, he briefly commanded HMS Diamond (50) in the Channel before returning to the Carolinas with HMS Squirrel. After a lengthy assignment, Squirrel was paid off in 1735, and Anson was sent ashore on half-pay for over two years. Placed back on active duty in December 1737, Anson was given command of HMS Centurion (60) with orders to protect commerce off the west coast of Africa. Completing this assignment, he crossed over to the West Indies before returning to England in late 1739.
Voyage Around the World:
With the start of the War of Jenkins' Ear in October 1739, Anson was selected to lead a squadron to attack the Spanish on the Pacific coast of South America. An ambitious plan, Anson's departure was delayed due to a lack of supplies and men. Initially promised a regiment of soldiers to support his mission, Anson was instead given a mob of pensioners along with a group of newly-enlisted, untrained marines. Given the rank of commodore, Anson flew his pennant from Centurion and led a squadron consisting of HMS Gloucester (50), HMS Severn (50), HMS Pearl (42), HMS Wager (28), the brig HMS Trial, and two store ships.
Finally getting to sea on September 18, 1740, Anson's squadron arrived off Cape Horn during the stormy season. Battling to clear the cape, Severn and Pearl were forced to turn back, while Wager was wrecked on the coast of Chile. Separated, wracked by scurvy, and battered by the weather, only Centurion, Gloucester, and Trial managed to rendezvous at Juan Fernandez Island on June 11, 1741. Assessing the condition of his remaining vessels, Anson found that of the 961 men who had left England aboard the three ships, only 335 remained alive.
Determined to press on with his mission, Anson's force attacked Paita, Peru on November 13-15. Overwhelming the defenders, they sacked and burned the town. Anson next wished to capture the annual Manila-Acapulco treasure galleon, but learned that it had already sailed. With scurvy again decimating his crews and his consorts becoming increasingly unseaworthy, Anson concentrated his remaining men in Centurion and turned west for China. Arriving at Tinian in August 1742, he paused for two months to allow his men to rest and regain their health.
Pressing on to Macao, Anson encountered some difficulties with the Chinese, but was able to refit Centurion and recruit additional crew. Sailing, he steered for the Philippines with the goal of locating one of the Manila galleons. On June 20, 1743, lookouts spotted the galleon Nuestra Señora de Covadonga (36) off Cape Espiritu Santo. Closing, Centurion brought the Spanish ship to battle and forced its surrender. Taking possession, Anson found that it carried the massive sum of 1,313,843 pieces of eight. Taking his prize to Canton, Anson transferred the treasure to Centurion and sold Covadonga.
Anson & the Admiralty:
Returning to England via the Cape of Good Hope, Anson eluded a French fleet in the Channel and anchored at Spithead on June 15, 1744. Hailed as a hero, the treasure was paraded through the streets of London. Immediately raised to rear admiral, Anson refused the commission when the Admiralty elected not to confirm the promotion he had given to his first lieutenant, Peircy Brett, when in China. Wealthy from his prize money, Anson went on half-pay as a captain until a change in leadership at the Admiralty brought him back to active service late that year.
The new First Lord, the Duke of Bedford, confirmed Brett's promotion to captain and re-offered promotion to Anson. Accepting, Anson effectively ran the Admiralty on Bedford's behalf while also representing Hedon in Parliament. Taking command of the Channel Fleet in August 1746, Anson actively patrolled in search of the French. On May 14, 1747, he located a French fleet off Cape Finisterre. In the resulting battle, Anson decisively defeated Admiral de la Jonquière and captured the bulk of his fleet. In recognition of his success, he was promoted to vice admiral and made Baron Anson of Soberton.
After marrying Lady Elizabeth Yorke in April 1748, he returned to an administrative role in the Admiralty under the new First Lord, the Earl of Sandwich. Working to reform the navy, Anson led initiatives to re-write the articles of war, re-structure the marine corps, improve warship design, and reduce corruption in the dockyards. In June 1751, Anson was elevated to First Lord, a position he would hold until 1756 and then again 1757-1762. During his tenure, he continued working to improve the navy's operations and oversaw naval operations during much of the Seven Years' War. Promoted to admiral of the fleet in June 1761, Anson died suddenly at his manor at Moor Park on June 6, 1762. Since his death, seven British warships have carried his name.

2011 Argentine Pass Cleanup Run 2
We had a GREAT day up in the hills yesterday and got a TON of work done! Thank you to all who participated! Ranger Huber was there, which was AWESOME, and we definitely took advantage of the time to talk about future projects and identify problem areas. Over all, the trail looked EXCELLENT, with only minor trash at a couple campsites. The attempted snow drift bypasses are healing satisfactorily, and with hopefully a couple of projects next spring the area should be in tip-top shape!
We explored the lower road first (248.1B), put up some carsenite, then moved to the south side of the valley (248.1A), checked out 248.1D and had lunch, then checked the closure at the top of 248.1A. We headed back to the main road (248.1), where most of the group split and headed back to Denver. Myself with Martin, CJ7Matt and Rick headed up to the top of Argentine Pass proper, checked some signage, then proceeded to head out. We got back to the trailhead just after 5:30, and it was definitely time to call it a day! We filled up the back of the FS pickup with trash bags, boy we ended up with a surprising amount of trash, seems like there's always some new trash cache to find when you're exploring around campsites.
Anyway, some pictures:

After hurling peanuts with outstanding accuracy since the Mariners' inception in 1977, beloved Seattle sports fixture Rick Kaminski has died at the age of 67 after a brain aneurysm.
Affectionately referred to as "The Peanut Man," Kaminski was known for not only his amazing tossing abilities, but for his sense of humor as well.
"His speed and accuracy with a bag of peanuts was matched by his quick wit and smile. He always seemed happy to see you, even if he was meeting you for the first time," said Mariners President Chuck Armstrong in a statement. "Rick loved what he did and the fans loved him for it."
Born in Seattle, Kaminski attended King's Garden (now King's School) in Shoreline, and was a right-handed pitcher on the baseball team, experience that would clearly come in handy in the future. After later graduating from Lincoln High School, and serving in the Army in Vietnam, he would enroll at Shoreline Community College.
While at SCC, Kaminski would be elected student body president. During his tenure, he would speak out against tuition hikes, saying that they would impact the over 150 foreign students who had a difficult time affording school, being able to work only during the summer months.
In Rick's memory, the Shoreline Community College Foundation has established an athletic scholarship.
"It is a wonderful way to pay tribute to his life and to his service as Student Body President while he was attending the college," said Jane McNabb, Executive Director of the Foundation. Contributions to the Rick Kaminski Memorial Scholarship Fund should be mailed to the Shoreline Community College Foundation, 16101 Greenwood Ave. North, Shoreline, WA 98133 or online at www.shoreline.edu/foundation
Kaminski is the third memorable local sports figure with Shoreline ties to die in the past several years. Ed McMichael, known to local sports fans as the "Tuba Man," graduated from King's in the early 1970s. McMichael died in 2008 after being attacked during an attemped robbery by three teenagers. Bill "The Beerman" Scott (who appeared in a Rainier Beer ad with Kaminski in the late 1980s) was a 1967 graduate of Shoreline High School, and was captain of the wrestling team. Scott, who would later attend Shoreline Community College, died from complications of colon cancer in 2007.

Troy Police are confirming that the suspect in a weekend homicide was taken into custody several thousand miles away Monday evening.
Suroy Manquel Wheeler was taken into custody in Oxnard, CA by Oxnard Police around 5pm Central.
Chief Jimmy Ennis said he received information from Pike County Sheriff Russell Thomas that Wheeler was possibly in California. He advised that Wheeler was supposed to be at the Norwalk bus terminal in Los Angeles. He was trying to get to Oxnard, CA .
Troy Police Detectives coordinated efforts with the US Marshals Service and the Oxnard Police Department.
Shortly after the bus from Los Angeles arrived in Oxnard, Wheeler was arrested by the Oxnard PD.
Wheeler is accused of the Saturday murder of 29-year-old Melissa Shipman at Troy Villa Apartments on Henderson Street in Troy.
Chief Ennis said extradition proceedings will now begin to return Wheeler to Troy to stand trial for the murder of Shipman.

The FDA found trace levels of lead in 400 lipsticks, higher levels than measured in the past.
Red shades typically show the highest traces of lead.
The FDA found levels of about 7.9 parts per million, much less than the maximum allowed in kids toys.
The FDA says there's no reason to worry, but Janet Nudelman and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics wants immediate change.
"Think of how many times a day we lick our lips, this is a major problem over time," Nudelman said.
Lead exposure can lead to learning, language and behavioral problems, especially in children.
The Centers for Disease Control released a statement in January saying no amount of lead exposure is safe and pregnant women and children should stay away from products with lead all together.
The FDA is considering a standard for lead in lipsticks.

As outrageous as the Christian Right's overall agenda is, their specific arguments and beliefs can be worse. I have written many articles exploring the arguments and beliefs advocated the Christian Right in order to reveal just how awful, and awfully absurd, they can be. Mere words, though, cannot always convey the true absurdity of a position. Even the most carefully reasoned argument will not carry the emotional impact of the original ideas being dissected.
Visual imagery, though, can often communicate ideas more quickly than words and convey emotions more immediately than any argument. For that reason I have created propaganda posters which promote some of the beliefs of the Christian Right. The intention is satirical, not sympathetic, but even so I believe that both the images and the words accurately reflect what some on the Christian Right belief and advocate. The original posters were produced as government propaganda, mostly during the first and second world wars.

There has been some confusion on whether N97 (S60 5 ed) has VoIP and SIP
As I understand it from reading this forum N97 has SIP but not a VoIP client.
VoIP is not mentioned anywhere but neither is JSR-180.
My question is does the N97 have JSR-180?
There has been some confusion on whether N97 (S60 5 ed) has VoIP and SIP
As I understand it from reading this forum N97 has SIP but not a VoIP client.
VoIP is not mentioned anywhere but neither is JSR-180.
My question is does the N97 have JSR-180?
I am also interested in knowing that, but the only webpage I found that explicitly states JSR-180 is present in N97 is this: http://www.topwords.ua/catalogue_mob...kia/nokia_n97/
Do you know how to verify it?
__UPDATE__ Please ignore this post; later I learned that the answer is a NO (posted in the next comment).
Last edited by rakabali78; 2009-08-30 at 15:59.
Bad news: the answer is "no" : http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N97
Click the "API" section on that page. To my understanding it's not for the serie (N97), but rather for the SDK version (S60 SDK 5th editiion) that comes with no support for SIP application development.
I fail to understand: S60 SDK 3rd edition does come with that support..., so how come the 5th edition which is supposed to be better and more complete doesn't have it???
Here's the proof of "no SIP SDK in 5th":
- http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...ase_Notes.html
- http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...ase_Notes.html
__UPDATE__ You can find the rationale (of Nokia) for removing JSR-180 in the 5th edition here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=155377
I guess for now we're stuck with Symbian API for developing SIP client for S60 5th ed.: http://library.forum.nokia.com/topic...SIP/index.html
Question to Nokia: any plan to provide implementation of JSR-180 (in N97, or SDK 5th for that matter) in the upcoming firmware update (of N97)? Please....
__Update__ I was wondering if assuming there will be such thing as "S60 SDK 5th feature pack 1" that contains the JSR 180 implementation, will we be able to upgrade our N97 with that? I googled and found this: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=167981 . Basically, at least for the SDK 3rd case, it was not possible to upgrade from FP 1 to FP 2 (wow). Will Nokia repeat that in the 5th edition (I surely hope not... ). Arrgh....
__Update__ Alright, I just installed S60 N97 SDK and read the documentation, I found inconsistencies:
(a) Java Documentation > Java Implementation Notes > (JSR-180) SIP API > Device support > says: This API is compatible with S60 5th Edition compliant devices.
(b) Java Documentation > Java Implementation Notes > (JSR-180) SIP API > Changes between releases > says: Support for this API was removed from S60 5th Edition and later devices.
????? Documentation bug? Worse, in (b) it says "... and later devices ...". What was that suppose to mean? No possibility whatsoever for JSR 180 to be added to upcoming updates of 5th edition???
Ok, fine, most likely most normal users wouldn't update their N97 just to get JSR 180 on their phone (what do they care). When it's not shipped with it, it's not shipped. Not there. Period. So, practically we can forget about mass deployment of SIP-based application written in Java for N97.
But, even if that's the case, I as a developer who want to make the best use of his/her $$$ device, would like to have that JSR 180 in N97, to develop app, demo apps, proof of concepts, etc. Please Nokia, __at_least__ make it possible for us, SDE, to develop apps for N97 in java that takes advantage of JSR 180....

What's our "magic number" to be out of the playoffs? Mavs win x amount of games, we lose x amount of games. This always equals a magic number that can be a good help to tell what's going on with our playoff "hopes".
This would be a great addition to put on the front page.
This would be for those of us Suns Fanatics to know the real deal with this Steve Kerr "Moron" year.

From the for what it's worth department, here goes.
1. Trade with KC for #17. If we get a chance to do this, give them enough to get a 2nd, not a third. This is a key. Take Cason at 17. Please not McKelvin. He will be a very good NFL CB, but he reminds me a lot of Nate. Good playmaker who gets eaten by taller receivers and does not intercept. A smurf. No way DRC is here.
2. Two picks in the second. First pick is WR. I am not scared off Hardy. I think the light has gone on He now knows who butters his bread. Best available WR, but not Sweed. Don't know just why, other than production, but he does not leave a mark. If needed is YAC and explosiveness, Thomas wins. If a red zone threat is a higher priority, I'd pick Hardy. My question is, over a season, can Hardy help move the chains? With good coaching and teammates, I think he can. Especially given the next pick.
2B. Best available TE. Tall is a must. If the Bills are to begin to appreciate the TE again, a bona fide red zone threat is a must. That means tall and physical. A key component for me is TWO tall, physical receivers dancing around the red zone. Trent will spot them. Wait a minute. I need to get a fresh drool cloth. I do not think Bennett will go into the third. Keller also.
Next pick. Whatever that is, DE.
If we get these, I'll get a woodie. Agree with others that C and FB can be had later. Many of the 3rds other rumblers pick I'm afraid will go in the 2nd. A good measuring stick is Jordy. 2nd or 3rd? I hope there is some way we get him. He is a Bill's type of player. GO BILLS!!

Senator Clarke MacArthur wants to convince Bobby Ryan to stay a while
MacArthur had an outstanding offensive season in 2013-14 season, with 24 goals and 31 assists, playing on a line with Kyle Turris and Bobby Ryan – until Ryan had season ending hernia surgery – but he says the focus has to be on making sure the team makes the necessary defensive sacrifices.

Ferdinand: 'UEFA are not serious at all on racism'
England players have responded negatively to UEFA's punishment of the Serbian FA over racist chants from its fans:
Uefa are not serious at all on racism. Fines do not work at all. They have zero impact on federations/clubs/fans/players. #fact
Uefa need to talk to this generation.....they don't seem to be up to date on this issue?? Harsh punishments needed as a deterrent #simple
I see UEFA have made a mockery once again of racism in football,absolute joke, bet it would've been different if it was the other way round!

Standard Disclaimer: The following story is nothing more than a construct of my own meandering mind. It is utterly/absolutely/completely fabricated; an unmitigated (non-vicious) pack of (fantastical) lies. No real places or events… no real people, regardless of similarities, yada yada yada.
KRONK: An earnest yet innocuous fan of the Denver Broncos.
(TY)JE: Vice President of Football Operations – Denver Broncos. AKA: Ole No. 7, The Duke.
Deep in the bowels of Dove… (yuk, scratch that).
KRONK snaps abruptly back to consciousness, and immediately attempts to orient himself. Seated comfortably in a large over-stuffed chair, he sees its' twin – empty – across from the small coffee-table in front of him. What he can see of the room is simply and tastefully decorated and the lighting is low, fading outward from the space between the seats. There doesn't seem to be a source.
Not knowing where he is, he's trying to remember how he may have gotten there when he hears a door open – and softly close – somewhere off to his left and behind him. A figure approaches through the dim.
(TY)JE: Hello, and Congratulations, Kronk!
KRONK: (rising) Uh, hi. Can you - hey!... you're (TY)JE!
(TY)JE: (puzzled) Yes… and you were expecting…?
KRONK: (puzzled in turn) Expecting…? I wasn't really expecting anything. I mean… wait a minute, wait a minute; what am I doing here? Where is "here"?
(TY)JE: (pausing, then muttering "oh, boy… not again!") Uh, take a seat, Kronk. Now, what's the last thing you remember?
KRONK: Well… I had just finished taking the tour of the Denver Broncos facilities at Dove Valley. (Frowning, concentrating…) I was following the group down a hallway toward the exit, when it seemed like a shadow rolled up behind me,… and then split? One to each side?
(TY)JE: Large shadows?
KRONK: Ginormous. And there was this sound; real low and rumbling… kinda like an avalanche… like… like dueling, a cappella avalanches… but from way far away. But coming on… you know? (getting agitated) Then something was shoved over my head, and there was this funny smell… (looking directly at (TY)JE, Kronk goes silent).
(TY)JE: (talking through his face-palm) Boyd and Mobley.
KRONK: Excuse me?
(TY)JE: Greg Boyd and Orson Mobley. You know how we've been trying to bring back the Ole Bronco Spirit? Being transparent, tweeting news, letting the fans get close to the real action, get close to the team? Inviting ex-players to come back into the fold; being seen, and contributing in real – or token - ways? Well, we put Boyd and Mobley on Fan-tasy Island duty this time around. That's here. You're in a very private lounge deep in the bow… uh, in a little-known, underground part of the greater Dove Valley complex.
KRONK: I see. And the sound?
(TY)JE: Huh? Oh. That. That was, uhhhm… giggling. They were giggling. (a moments awkward silence… then a bark of laughter.) I'm really sorry. (He snorts. Twice.) Really. (struggling for, then gaining, composure) Look, it's not supposed to go that way. They're just supposed to politely and quietly introduce themselves, explain that you've been randomly selected for a very special prize, and invite you to follow them here.
KRONK: (growing incensed) In-vite? So by "invite" you mean "abduct"?! No wait, I'm sorry; drug and abduct!?! (sputtering) Do you have any idea –
(TY)JE: Whoa whoa whoa whooooaaaaaaa… easy on there, Kronk. Slow the roll. Look, how about I tell you why you're here; what the "prize" is? Then you can decide whether you want to get on with that, or continue with the indignation. Okay?
KRONK: (after a moment, yet still almost completely un-mollified) Okay; since I can /feel the depth of your remorse/, let's move on for the moment. Bedazzle me.
(TY)JE: You know, you're quite a bit of an… (deep breath), never mind. This isn't going as planned. Here's the deal; you have been granted the opportunity to conduct an isolated, uninterrupted, uncensored interview with me, (TY)JE, to discuss any seven aspects of the Denver Broncos that cross your mind. We call it Seven for 7 on Fan-tasy Island.
KRONK: Seven for… there's actually quite a lot of innuendo and double entendre in that.
(TY)JE: Yeah, well; you know… our Marketing Guy. He gets a bit bored, I think, and has an inflated sense of his own cleverness.
KRONK: I suppose. And "uncensored"? Afraid I'd complain if I can't swear?
(TY)JE: It means that there is nothing that is off-limits - so long as it pertains to the Broncos; no personal questions. And it means that I have to answer completely and honestly; no sound-bites or canned answers. You will get the "inside scoop" - the "real deal" - on any seven questions that so many others are dying to know the truth of. Things we've been surreptitiously saying "pound sand, Putz" about, to every media-credentialed, ignorantly-opinionated blow-hard that has ever been granted access to our "press conferences". You get to be one of the cognoscenti.
KRONK: Co-whaaa.t.f.?
(TY)JE: It means "one of those in the know", a part of the "inner circle"… a possessor of superior knowledge. It means "you da man!"; at least relative to anyone that you are ever likely to speak to about the Broncos. The rest of us will know that you're still just one of the "prize-winners".
KRONK: Still just "one of the Putzes"?
(TY)JE: Well… yes. A "Putz of a different color", though. But yes.
KRONK: Huh. You know, I'm starting to like you. I take my "fandom" quite enthusiastically… but I don't mistake it for being serious. I'll jump around like a bullfrog in biology lab over a big win, but I wouldn't wallow for days in depression or start a stadium brawl over an equally painful loss.
I suppose I'd have to consider myself a bit of a Putz if I actually started to believe that watching games and rooting for the Broncos somehow qualified me to "know better" than y'all about the Broncos… so I guess I shouldn't be offended that you see the truth of that as well. I just didn't expect you to say so. Not exactly "fan-friendly", ya know?
(TY)JE: (with a smile and a wink… ) Actually, I played that up a bit. I'm trying to give you an idea of what I'm willing to say to you. In truth, on the one hand I don't feel the members of the media – or the fan-base – are putzes. Each individual understands and expresses their affinity for the Broncos in their own way - and not only do I appreciate that, I want to encourage that. It is, in fact, my job. Even though we know that there's a ton of MMQBing and nitpicking when we win, and worse when we lose; going even so far as outrage if we're in a significant slide.
Remember, we are "entertainment". That's what rings the register. We try to win a sports trophy, not a Nobel Peace Prize or the Medal of Honor.
On the other hand, the monstrously vast majority of viewers – we're talking many, many millions of football fans worldwide - do not understand what really goes into achieving success on an NFL field on a given game day. There are some that do; current and past "high level" coaches and players, plus a few "non-participants" that are gifted with the ability to understand the processes at a cognitive level. But now you're only talking about some tens of thousands.
KRONK: That seems a bit exaggerated, at both ends of the spectrum.
(TY)JE: Well, I mean it in a very specific way, and we can discuss that a bit later if you like. For now, the issue is we're not holding press conferences – or selling tickets and merchandise - for the tens of thousands of experts, but rather for the less-knowledgeable vast majority. And as sincere as I want to be with them, my first problem is it would take too long to truly respond authentically so that most people understood what I was saying, and were satisfied.
My second problem is we're trying to win some MFing games here, and the information is too valuable to offer up when there are people out there listening - who do know better - and are trying to beat us.
So here, today, I'm willing to say things to you, that will never be heard by another living being. I'll honestly call you a Putz… but of course I mean it in the nicest possible way.
KRONK: Give me a break. People aren't that stupid; and your knowledge – and the nature of "the game" – is not so incomprehensible that the rest of us plebes have no viable insight or discernible value, other than as a consumers' pocket to be picked. People understand the game well enough – in fact I've read many who know a great deal. And the "monstrously vast majority" have eyes… they can see the obvious.
(TY)JE: So. Are you in?
KRONK: … uhm. Aren't you going to respond to that?
(TY)JE: Is it one of your questions? And what, exactly, was the question?
KRONK: (Kronk considers this for a moment, then…) Yeah, I guess I see your point; both of them, in fact. (Sitting back, Kronk thinks for several minutes. Then… ) I'm in, but I don't want to waste this; I want to see if I can coordinate my questions so that it tells as much of a story as possible. Kind of like a combination of a timeline, that also builds upon itself to reveal more "principles" than just random facts or trivia. Can you give me, say, ten or 15 minutes to get my thoughts in order?
(TY)JE: (Rising and heading back in the direction from which he had come…) No problem, I'll just step out and take care of a few things… perhaps have a "performance review" with Messieurs Boyd and Mobley. There are drinks and snacks-foods back behind the bar; make yourself comfortable.
KRONK: Wait, what? There's a bar in here?
(TY)JE: (laughing) Oh, yes; all that and then some. We don't call it The AMEX Lounge for nothing, you know.
KRONK: The AMEX Lou… ?; 'cause "membership has its' privileges"?
(TY)JE: (Pausing at the door; ) You catch on quick, Kronk. (then gesturing into the distance…) Just start walking and the lighting will take care of itself. You'll find the bar at the end of a deep post route; make your break at the stage. See you soon.
(SCENE fades to black as the door swings slowly closed.)
So, MHR, I have my seven questions for (TY)JE; the only other one I have is whether I should bother to write them up for general discussion, or keep playing them out in my own mind.
I'd probably post each one during a non-draft/-OTA/-Camp week when there are less compelling things to talk about, and also completely dependent on some rather stringent time constraints of my own.
Let's see… in keeping with the theme, let's say a "validity threshold" of 77 votes, with a 7 to 1 for-vs.-against ratio would mean it wouldn't be an embarrassing (for me) waste of time (for both of us). Vote early, vote often.
POLL NOTE: Choices 1 and 4 are "AGAINST", choices 2 and 3 are "FOR".

Indian developers what did you use for google play developer account payment?
I am an app developer from India. I have an app ready to upload. I went to register for Google play developer account today and saw that my Axis Bank debit card is showed invalid. I entered all the details correctly.
So then I google for the problem and saw that I am not the only one facing this issue. There are many people and possibly no solution. Now there are a lot of Indian apps on the play store(made by Indians) so something must be working. So please if you are from India and have a developer account or if you are from anywhere but know workaround for this issue please tell me.
I would be happy to make this visible to Google so they can come up with a solution.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Sooo, you know that route Rosy Crucifixion.... Well, the CCC has got its own version now!
From here, you can either rap back to the midway belay on Playin' Hooky, or top out via two different 5.11 options.
It is possible to link both pitches but not recomended since you will not be able to hear or see your partner during the crux traverse.
P2 5.11-, 60 feet. The original finish was to step right off the belay, mantle on to a sloping ledge, and follow a crumbly corner feature to the top, but with the recent addition of Golden Hammer, you now can take that routes fourth pitch to the top for a much more classic finish in the 11+ range.
Descent: Several rap options exist. The best option is from the anchor on top of Spun Gold to the Playin' Hooky anchor in the middle of the slab, then down Solid gold from there. Or top out completely and walk over to the Solid Gold raps, or 4th class scramble down to the raps for Playin' Hooky.
Top right side of Creekside. In between Spun Gold and Playin' Hooky.
Bolts. 10 draws and 2 runners should do.

Sore back to delay Lilly's throwing session
Zambrano to stat Saturday, as Cubs rearrange rotation
ATLANTA -- Cubs left-hander Ted Lilly was scheduled to pitch Friday for Triple-A Iowa, but his session was pushed back to Sunday because of stiffness in his back.
Cubs manager Lou Piniella said the problem isn't serious. Lilly is rehabbing from arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, which he had in November. He was to make two more Minor League starts before given the go-ahead to join the Cubs' rotation in mid April.
"This is not a setback," Piniella said of Lilly's back soreness.
The lefty last pitched Sunday in Mesa, Ariz., in the Cubs' Minor League camp, throwing 67 pitches over 5 2/3 innings.
The Cubs also have tweaked their rotation and will have Carlos Zambrano start Saturday rather than lefty Tom Gorzelanny. This was pitching coach Larry Rothschild's original plan, Piniella said, because they wanted to have right-handers face the Milwaukee Brewers next week at Wrigley Field.
Carlos Silva will make his first start for the Cubs on Friday in Cincinnati, followed by Zambrano and then Gorzelanny. Ryan Dempster will get the call for the home opener Monday. He will be followed by Randy Wells and then Zambrano again.
"Then we'll go from there," Piniella said.
Bullpen a work in progress
ATLANTA -- For the past three seasons, Carlos Marmol has been the prime setup pitcher for the Cubs. This season, they're still looking for a replacement.
It isn't easy, as John Grabow found out Wednesday. The left-handed candidate for the job, he served up a game-winning two-run homer to Chipper Jones in the eighth, as the Braves rallied to beat the Cubs, 3-2.
Rookie Esmailin Caridad is the right-handed option, and he pitched one-third of an inning Monday in the season opener. Caridad did not give up an earned run over 14 innings and 12 spring games.
"You're replacing a guy who always has to face the best hitters -- it's always set up that way, whether it's the seventh or eighth innings," Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild said.
Marmol, now the Cubs' closer, had yet to get in a game heading into Thursday's series finale against the Braves. Lou Piniella said he wanted the right-hander to see some action to stay sharp. He last pitched Saturday in the final exhibition game in Arizona.
Marmol made 79 relief appearances in 2009 and led the team with 27 holds even though he switched to the the closer duties on Aug. 18. Marmol finished 11-for-11 in save situations.
"The first year he was here [in 2007], he made a big difference and fit right in the seventh and eighth," Rothschild said. "Hopefully, we can replace that."
If needed, Marmol could go two innings in a game. But Piniella doesn't want to do that every day.
"I don't want to get in a situation early in the season where I'm using my closer 1 2/3 [innings] to win a baseball game," Piniella said.
Sean Marshall has been effective against the Braves, striking out seven in 3 1/3 innings over two games.
"To me, he's gotten physically stronger and he had a really, really good spring and good movement on his fastball and a good tight curveball," Piniella said of the lefty, who was among the candidates for a spot in the rotation. "The reason we put him in the bullpen was because I figured that's where we needed him the most. So far, that assumption has been correct. I like the way he's throwing, I really do."
Rookie James Russell also pitched two scoreless innings on Monday. The debuts for both Jeff Samardzija and Justin Berg on Monday weren't as smooth. Piniella and his staff are still getting to know the pitchers.
What they needed more than anything before leaving the state of Georgia was a win.
"[If you're] 2-0, you're on top of the world, and 0-2, you're six-feet under," Piniella said. "It's early. We've got to sort some things out there.
"It's early in the season and we're going to be fine," he said. "Winning that first ballgame is important."
Silva eager to get to work for Cubs
ATLANTA -- Carlos Silva can't wait for Friday when he'll make his Cubs debut against the Reds.
"I'm very excited," Silva said Thursday. "I'm looking forward to starting my first game and hopefully pitch the way I pitched in spring."
After going 5-18 the past two seasons with the Mariners, Silva said his goal this spring was to be consistent.
Mission accomplished.
"It wasn't one good game, one bad game," Silva said. "That's what I'm looking for in the season -- is try to be consistent on the mound."
Well, he did that after a rough first start. On March 6 against the White Sox, Silva's first spring start, he gave up six runs on seven hits, including two home runs by White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin, over two innings.
"After you have two bad seasons and then the first game, you have that kind of game, you think, 'Oh my God, here I go again,'" Silva said. "I've been working very hard to stay very strong in my mind. I tried to put that game away and keep working and keep learning and try to improve."
Pitching coach Larry Rothschild has made some changes with Silva's mechanics that have helped. But Silva feels better mentally, too.
"It's not only Larry but the whole coaching staff -- the way they've been talking to me," Silva said. "They have a lot of trust in me, and that gives me a lot of confidence. Larry will tell me before a game, 'Trust yourself, let it go and throw the same way you do in the bullpen.' That's what I try to do."
Best of all, Silva's wife and his mother will be in Cincinnati for the game. His mother got a 10-year visa and joined the Silvas in Arizona this spring. Home cooking helps, too.
