St. Louis Cardinals Rumors
NL Notes: Mozeliak, Mets, Braves, Pirates, Padres
Cardinals GM John Mozeliak tackled a variety of topics in a two-part interview with MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch. Looking back to the last offseason, he said that the team identified Pat Neshek as an option because he offered a different look from the club's other relievers, and said that the David Freese-for-Peter Bourjos trade would not have been made without the inclusion of prospect Randal Grichuk.
Here's the latest out of the National League …
- The Mets have, as expected, decided not to bring back hitting coach Lamar Johnson and assistant Luis Natera in those roles, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Johnson stepped in mid-season after his predecessor, Dave Hudgen, was fired. Meanwhile, Triple-A skipper Wally Backman will not be elevated to the big league staff, but will be offered the chance to keep his position.
- As the Braves continue to make their own staff changes, scouting director Tony DeMacio has been re-assigned, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Atlanta is still waiting to hear whether interim GM John Hart will take the job full-time, Nightengale adds.
- If the Pirates are unable to bring back catcher Russell Martin, another impactful transaction that could have PR benefits would be a Neil Walker extension, writes Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. With a $5.75MM arbitration salary to build off of over his next two seasons of eligibility, and coming off of a .271/.342/.467 slash with 23 home runs, he will not be cheap.
- The Padres had a private workout today with Cuban free agent Yasmany Tomas, tweets Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com. Tomas officially hit the open market yesterday.

NL Central Notes: Cubs, Castillo, Martin, Bourjos
Cubs catcher Welington Castillo wants to be part of the future in Chicago, but he understands that in order for that to happen he likely has some more improvement to do, writes Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. Castillo, 27, is entering his prime-age seasons but doesn't hear his name mentioned alongside younger core players like Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro. Castillo specifically mentions that he recognizes the fact that baseball is a business and he can't assume that he will be in a starting role. Cubs GM Jed Hoyer again said to Wittenmyer that the team plans to add at least one everyday veteran this winter, leading Wittenmyer to speculate on Russell Martin, who would give the Cubs a major defensive boost behind the plate. While catching coach Mike Borzello feels that Castillo is "the best in the business" at blocking pitches, Castillo ranks at the bottom of Baseball Prospectus' Blocking Runs Added stat and ranks 72nd among 97 catchers in extra strikes via pitch framing (also via B-Pro). Hoyer, however, did give Castillo a vote of confidence: "I really believe in Welly. … He doesn't get mentioned a lot when we talk about our established young veterans, but he can be in that mix as well."
Here's more from the NL Central…
- ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers also has quotes from Hoyer on his desire for veteran leadership, and Rogers wonders if the club would pursue a veteran such as Jonny Gomes to help out in left field. While he notes that Gomes, of course, wouldn't be an everyday player, "a quasi-starter who has winning experience might be the best option" given the lack of starting-caliber bats at positions of need for the Cubs, Rogers opines. He, too, notes that Martin would be a good fit in Chicago, though.
- Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette looks at the extraordinary preparation and conditioning that have contributed to Russell Martin's brilliant season. Brink spoke to Martin's coaches and teammates about what he means to the club, with GM Neal Huntington stating that the club is going to do everything it can to re-sign its catcher. Perhaps most interesting, however, is the fact that Brink notes that the Pirates offered Martin a two-year, $17MM deal and a three-year, $21MM deal when signing him prior to the 2013 season. Martin explains to Brink that he didn't want to sign for three years, because he felt he could improve his stock on a two-year pact, which he has done in dramatic fashion.
- One veteran scout tells Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Cardinals outfielder Peter Bourjos is the best defensive center fielder he's seen in 38 years as a scout. Bourjos and Randal Grichuk were acquired from the Angels with the idea that one of them would be the team's everyday center fielder in 2015, writes Hummel, but Jon Jay's solid offense has muddied the picture and left the Cardinals with choices to make. Bourjos has hit better of late, boosting his season batting line to .241/.305/.367, and he drew praise from manager Mike Matheny as well. It'll be interesting to see how the Cardinals decide to proceed, not only in the next few weeks, but in the offseason as well.

Cardinals Outright Audry Perez, Rafael Ortega
Here are today's minor moves and outright assignments from around the league…
- The Cardinals have outrighted catcher Audry Perez and outfielder Rafael Ortega, both of whom were designated for assignment on Monday, according to the MLB.com transactions page. The 25-year-old Perez is a career .270/.293/.413 hitter in the minor leagues and has seen sparing time in the Majors, appearing in just three games and totaling just three plate appearances. Ortega, once a somewhat promising prospect with the Rockies, was claimed off waivers by the Cardinals this past offseason following an injury-shortened 2013. (The Rangers had first claimed him, indicating that multiple clubs had some degree of interest.) He hit .249/.331/.346 in 414 Double-A plate appearances and made a brief appearance with Triple-A Memphis as well. The speedster does have six big league plate appearances — each of which came with the Rockies back in 2012.

Cardinals Designate Rafael Ortega, Audry Perez
The Cardinals have designated outfielder Rafael Ortega and catcher Audry Perez for assignment, the team announced via its Twitter feed. In corresponding moves, outfielder Tommy Pham, right-hander Sam Tuivailala and infielder Greg Garcia have been called up.
Ortega was claimed off waivers by the Rangers in January and he has a .669 OPS over 441 combined PA at the rookie league, Double-A and Triple-A levels this season. The left-handed hitting outfielder has a .289/.353/.403 slash line and 175 steals over 2536 minor league PA in the Colorado and St. Louis farm systems since 2008, plus a two-game cup of coffee with the Rockies in 2012.
Perez has a similarly limited Major League resume, appearing in three games with the Cards over the last two seasons. The 25-year-old backstop has a .270/.293/.413 slash line over 1738 minor league PA, all in the Cardinals' system.
Ortega and Perez are the latest duo from the same organization to enter "DFA Limbo," as they join Chris Dwyer and Blake Wood (Royals), Matt Hague and Darin Mastroianni (Blue Jays), Michael Kohn and Ryan Wheeler (Angels) as unresolved cases on the MLB Trade Rumors DFA Tracker.

Cafardo On Astros, Darvish, Gallardo, Bautista, Kang
The firing of Astros manager Bo Porter and bench coach Dave Trembley was a clash of old-school baseball versus the new-school of analytics and old-school lost, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. For that reason, Cafardo opines GM Jeff Luhnow's next hires will need to be data savvy, know their way around a laptop, put numbers ahead of traditional baseball, and accept daily interference. Trembley, who found out he was fired from the ESPN news ticker, wasn't surprised by the dismissals because there was a disconnect with the front office from "the computer leaks to the draft and the Mark Appel situation where the manager wasn't told (top prospect) Appel was coming up to throw. I think (owner) Jim Crane nailed it when he said that there was a personality clash and sometimes people just don't get along."
In other items from Cafardo's Sunday Notes column:
- There is a financial component to placing Yu Darvish on the disabled list. The Rangers can deduct $5,228.75 per day in bonuses over 30 days on the DL and, since the right-hander has been moved to the 60-day disabled list, the savings realized will be nearly $136k on Darvish's $800K roster bonus.
- Justin Verlander's struggles this year should give teams pause about giving large contracts to older pitchers. Cafardo, however, doesn't see this cautionary tale dampening the market for Jon Lester, Max Scherzer, and James Shields because there are franchises which cannot resist the temptation and feel it's the cost of doing business.
- Cafardo views the Red Sox as players for the services of free agents Jason Grilli and Justin Masterson this offseason.
- There is some debate within the Brewers organization about exercising Yovani Gallardo's $13MM option for 2015 with some feeling the money might be better spent elsewhere.
- Expect the Rangers to engage the Blue Jays in trade talks for Jose Bautista, but Cafardo notes Texas may not have the pitching prospects to pry the All-Star slugger away from Toronto.
- Joel Hanrahan, who suffered a setback in his rehab from Tommy John surgery, will not need another operation and will attempt to continue his comeback in 2015. Hanrahan had signed a $1MM deal with the Tigers in May, but never pitched an inning for the organization.
- Korean shortstop Jung-ho Kang will be posted this winter and should be in line for a substantial contract given the lack of available impact power hitters. The 27-year-old, who measures six feet and 180 pounds, hit 38 home runs and drove home 107 runs in 107 games for Nexen of the KBO. Cafardo notes the Cardinals have shown interest in Kang previously, but a few more teams (not named by Cafardo) are now in the mix.

Manager & GM Notes: Rangers, Astros, LaRocque
Ron Washington's departure to deal with an unidentified personal matter might turn out to help the Rangers, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News writes. Washington would have been a lame duck next season, and an extension was unlikely after the Rangers' poor season. A bad start in 2015 would have put Washington and the Rangers in awkward spots. Instead, the organization gets to start fresh, beginning with a few weeks auditioning interim manager Tim Bogar, who was once viewed as a top managerial prospect. Here are more notes on managers and GMs.
- Replacing Washington will be difficult, writes MLB.com's Tracy Ringolsby, offering a contrasting view. Washington had his players' respect, an important quality in a manager, particularly in a Rangers season that has endured so much roster turnover. Bogar, former Rangers coach Dave Anderson (now with the Orioles) and current pitching coach Mike Maddux are all potential candidates for the team's open job.
- Maddux has interest in replacing Bo Porter with the Astros, however, Grant writes. Maddux declined to interview for the Astros' open position two years ago when the team hired Porter, but it seems times have changed, and Nolan Ryan's role as an executive advisor with the Astros could help Maddux this time around.
- The Diamondbacks will interview Cardinals farm director Gary LaRocque for their open GM job today, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. LaRocque has extensive experience in both player development and scouting in the Dodgers, Mets and Cardinals organizations, and he worked with the Diamondbacks' Tony La Russa in St. Louis. LaRocque has also served as a manager at the minor league level.
- Angels GM Jerry Dipoto says the Diamondbacks will also formally interview Angels pro scouting director Hal Morris, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times tweets. Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona reported yesterday that LaRocque and Morris would be among the Diamondbacks' candidates, along with player agent Dave Stewart, Diamondbacks scouting coordinator Ray Montgomery and Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler.

Quick Hits: Montero, Astros, Pierzynski
Jesus Montero was at the center of a bizarre situation on Thursday night, as MILB.com's Tyler Maun reports. While on a rehab assignment at Seattle's short-season class A affiliate, Montero reportedly had to be restrained from going after a Mariners crosschecker with a bat after the scout reportedly sent an ice cream sandwich to the dugout. Butch Baccala, the crosschecker in question, tells Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times that the incident is "not what is being portrayed," though he didn't want to comment further until speaking with Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik.
- There is discord between Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager Bo Porter, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports, and things may have gotten bad enough that "it's difficult to imagine the Astros starting the 2015 season with the same management team." Porter feels he doesn't have enough input in the team's plans and Luhnow too often second-guesses his in-game decisions, plus there were some hard feelings over Mark Appel's bullpen session at Minute Maid Park last month.
- Yadier Molina's return shouldn't end A.J. Pierzynski's stint with the Cardinals, FOX Sports Midwest's Stan McNeal writes. Molina will need to be eased into his usual workload behind the plate, and with rosters expanding, the Cards will have room for three catchers (Tony Cruz being the third). Pierzynski has also been a fit in the Cardinals' clubhouse following the drama that marked his exit from Boston.
- The Braves were the other finalist for right-hander Brandon Poulson, Baseball America's Bob Padecky reports. Poulson ended up signing a $250K bonus with the Twins, capping off a fairly incredible route to pro baseball for the 6'7″ fireballer.
- Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred figures to differ from Bud Selig in several areas, and ESPN's Jayson Stark outlines some of the areas that Manfred will focus on when he officially takes over the job.

Quick Hits: Colon, Angels, Cardinals, Stanton, Cashner
The Mets have not yet tried sending Bartolo Colon through revocable waivers, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets. One reason this is significant is because Colon would represent one possible upgrade for an Angels team that just lost Garrett Richards to what appears to be a significant knee injury. It's unclear whether Colon would be claimed by another team before getting to the Angels. He's pitched fairly well this year, despite his age, and he's set to make a reasonable salary of $11MM in 2015. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- At least so far, the David Freese / Peter Bourjos trade has worked out fairly well for the Angels, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez writes. Freese got off to a slow start but has hit well since June, while Fernando Salas has been steady out of the Angels' bullpen. Meanwhile, Bourjos hasn't hit well in a part-time role with the Cardinals (although he continues to provide defensive value), and outfield prospect Randal Grichuk has spent most of the season at Triple-A.
- Calls for the Marlins to trade Giancarlo Stanton may have been premature, writes Rosenthal. Next season, Stanton will still only be 25 and under control through 2016, and the Marlins will have a healthy Jose Fernandez. They might also get more help from young hitters Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, so they could contend in 2015. While they likely won't be able to sign Stanton long term before he becomes eligible for free agency following the 2016 season, they might be able to simply wait to trade him, perhaps for established players rather than prospects.
- Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner will make his first start since June 18 on Saturday in Arizona, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune tweets. On his way back from a shoulder injury, Cashner pitched five innings in a rehab start for Triple-A El Paso Monday. Cashner has emerged as one of the top starters in the National League in the past two seasons, and he had a 2.76 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 76 1/3 innings this year before he got hurt.

Minor Moves: Hill, O'Sullivan, Sale, Daley, Gimenez, Thomas
Here are today's minor moves …
- The Tigers inked right-hander Shawn Hill to a minor league deal today, as James Wagner of the Toledo Blade reports on Twitter. Hill, 33, has seen mostly scattered MLB action since taking 28 starts for the Nationals over the 2007-08 seasons. He has a 4.87 ERA through 105 1/3 innings (4.7 K/9 against 2.2 BB/9) in the upper minors this year with the White Sox and Blue Jays organizations.
- The Phillies have outrighted Sean O'Sullivan to Triple-A, according to the International League transactions page. The righty accepted a previous outright assignment earlier this year, but will once again have the right to elect free agency instead.
- Rays prospect Josh Sale has been hit with a 50-game suspension for recreational drug use, MLB announced today. This is hardly the first brush with trouble for the 23-year-old former first-round pick, who came into the 2013 season rated Tampa's 24th-best prospect by Baseball America. After a previous drug-related suspension, Sale missed all of last year when the team banned him for inappropriate conduct. He had slashed .238/.313/.344 over 361 plate appearances on the year at the High-A level.
- After reporting earlier today that Matt Daley has accepted an outright assignment from the Yankees, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets that Daley has actually been optioned by the club. The righty still occupies a 40-man spot.
- Catcher Chris Gimenez has accepted an outright assignment from the Rangers rather than electing free agency, tweets John Blake, the club's executive VP of communications. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment five days ago, and apparently has not found a better opportunity with another organization.
- The Phillies have released outfielder Clete Thomas, Cotillo tweets. The 30-year-old has seen 794 MLB plate appearances in parts of four seasons, but had not been elevated by Philadelphia this season. Over 226 minor league plate appearances, he carries a .247/.345/.335 slash.
Earlier Updates
Baseball America's Matt Eddy has posted his weekly look at minor league transactions from around the league from the past seven days. We'll highlight a couple of the (relatively) notable names that were missed in the past week:
- Eddy reports that the Cardinals have released southpaw Pedro Feliciano from his minor league deal. The 37-year-old, once an excellent setup man with the Mets, pitched to a 5.57 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 21 frames with Triple-A Memphis this season.
- The Reds have released left-hander Scott Maine, Eddy reports. The former Cub was inked to a minor league deal in June after pitching well for the independent Atlantic League's Bridgeport Bluefish, but he posted a 6.10 ERA in 10 1/3 innings with the Reds organization.
- The Athletics have released first baseman/third baseman B.A. Vollmuth, tweets Eddy. Vollmuth, a third-rounder as recently as 2011, batted just .207/.278/.341 this season at Class A Beloit. The 24-year-old has yet to move above the Class-A Advanced level and a has a .702 OPS in his pro career.

Central Notes: Johnson, Bullpen Issues, Suzuki
The closest pennant races are in MLB's two Central divisions. Here's the latest from both the NL and AL Central:
- The Brewers sense they were the runner-up for the services of right-hander Jim Johnson, who signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Tuesday, tweets MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
- Despite the lack of offense from their first base platoon of Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay, the Brewers were wise not to re-sign first baseman Corey Hart this past winter, opines Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Hart, who missed six weeks with a strained left hamstring earlier this season and is on the disabled list for second time with a bruised right knee, has posted a meager slash of .203/.278/.314 with five home runs in 230 plate appearances.
- Also within Haudricourt's article, he details the injury and performance issues which have hobbled the Brewers' bullpen. Haudricourt notes the Brewers could still acquire a reliever this month, but there is no guarantee they will have a chance to claim one based on their waiver position.
- The Cardinals could also be facing an issue with their bullpen, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold. In two of the past three years, Goold notes, the Cardinals have reached the World Series in the same season they had to change closers in the final month with fatigue being a contributing factor both times and it could happen again considering the recent usage of Trevor Rosenthal. Manager Mike Matheny acknowledges he has "ridden him hard," but pointed to Rosenthal's save success when asked about overuse. Goold reports Scott Boras, Rosenthal's agent, has spoken to the club and his client about the workload.
- Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki did not request a no-trade clause when he negotiated his recent contract extension, writes Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "We didn't think it was necessary," Suzuki told Berardino.

Byon March 16, 2012
When world leaders visit one another, it's customary to exchange gifts. Often these items aren't tremendously exciting: local textiles, say, or objets d'art and curios for the presidential residence. Or even less exciting, like the DVD set the Obamas gave Gordon Brown during their visit to the UK in 2009. This time, though, Obama has knocked it out of the park with his gift to British Prime Minister David Cameron, of which we can all be truly jealous. It's the Engelbrecht 1000 Series Braten, a grill that retails for $1,895 (the one presented to the Camerons was actually retooled, driving the cost higher), which makes sense given their food-related bond. Expensive? Yes, but this is one bad mother of a grill and smoker. It takes both charcoal and wood. Its coal bed can be raised and lowered via pulley to control the heat output. It also has an offset firebox, which means you can add as much or as little smoke as you want to the grill chamber (pit-smoked ribs, anybody?). The thing can withstand temperatures upwards of 1000 degrees. All in all, it's built like a tank, made right here in the U.S. from heavy-duty steel and cast iron with oak and naval brass fittings. You might even be able to climb inside this thing and survive serious natural disaster. Of course, Obama probably had something more like hot dogs in mind.

A MESSAGE FROM AN AMERICAN TO DR. ABU BAKER AL-QIRBI. FOREIGN MINISTER OF YEMEN, attacks on the U.S. and his country needs additional intelligence and equipment to keep these jihadists under control. Dr. Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, foreign minister of Yemen has issued a warning that there are hundreds of militants planning attacks on the U.S.
I would strongly urge the foreign minister of Yemen to study very carefully American history. Harry Truman, a common man from Missouri, was never interested, as far as I can ascertain, in a Nobel Peace prize. His decision to save over one million of our nation's military by destroying two major Japanese cities is a historical fact. He gave his attention 24/7 to the threats facing his nation. He was resolute, strong, tough and committed to America's defense.
Mr. Foreign minister, you have identified a threat from three hundred or more of your terrorists in residence. The Japanese military was a more formidable force than Yemen has available, how did Truman deal with them?
Let me alert you Mr. Foreign Minister to the possibility that when it comes to a future Presidential election, there might well be an identification and election of another leader with the mindset and will of the 33rd President of the United States. I would suggest that you and other middle eastern leaders would be wise to study Truman's approach to enemies of America. Read David McCullough's book, published by Simon & Schuster entitled Truman. A less diplomatic but clearer version is Merle Miller's treatise on the 33rd President.
Truman surrounded himself with men like Roosevelt, Churchill and Generals, Marshall, Macarthur, and Eisenhower. He would not have hesitated a moment to have eliminated by whatever means necessary middle eastern terrorists intent on killing Americans.
There is another Truman Mr. Foreign Minister just waiting in the wings. If you have not eliminated the problem, when he emerges, it would be wise for you to relocate.
Dr. Alan Phillips
Bloomington, IL

The Nezamiyeh (Turkish: Nizamiye Medresesi, Persian: نظامیه, Arabic: النظامیة) are a group of the medieval institutions of higher education established by Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk in the eleventh century in Iran. The name nizamiyyah derives from his name. Founded at the beginning of the Seljuk empire, these Sunni Islam theological schools are considered to be the model of madrasahs, or Islamic religious schools.[1]
Nizamiyyah institutes were the first well organized institutions of higher learning in the Muslim world. The quality of education was the highest in the Islamic world, and they were even renowned in Europe. They were supported financially, politically, and spiritually by the royal establishment and the elite class. Some scholars have suggested that the establishment of the Nizamiyya madrasas was in fact an attempt to thwart the growing influence of another group of Muslims, the Ismailis, in the region. Indeed, Nizam al-Mulk devoted a significant section in his famous Books of Politics (Siyāsatnāma) to refuting the Ismaili doctrines.[2]
The most famous and celebrated of all the nizamiyyah schools was Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad (established 1065), where Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk appointed the distinguished philosopher and theologian, al-Ghazali, as a professor. Persian poet Sa'di was a student of the Baghdad Nizamiyyah. Other nizamiyyah schools were located in Nishapur, Amol, Balkh, Herat and Isfahan.
Nizam ul-Mulk was finally assassinated en route from Isfahan to Baghdad in 1092 CE. According to several books, he was assassinated by a member of Hashshashin, a group of the Ismaili sect of Shi'a Islam.
According to Mughatil ibn Bakri, a staff member of the Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad, he alleges that Nizam al-Mulk converted to Shia Islam after a Sunni-Shia debate held on the orders of Sultan Malik Shah I, who also converted to Shia'ism. But it is thereafter that they were both assassinated.[3] This narration is disputed, however, by most historians and Sunni scholars.

– When WWE announced that all twelve of their pay-per-views would be on the WWE Network the writing was on the wall to several traditional pay-per-view providers that they are going to lose some serious money. They are so concerned about future PPV business that they have been in touch to other wrestling promotions to see if they would be interested in bring their product to the PPV. Most are small indie/TV promotions that have never been on PPV before.
The idea is to have new content, that would air taped and live, to In Demand to make up their money that they would be losing to lose to the WWE Network according to PWInsider Elite.
Andrews Take: ROH this is your chance. Ring of Honor who are known for making several stars like Cm Punk, Daniel Bryan, Cesarso, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and the list goes on and on have an opportunity to be on PPV now that WWE has offered their product for a cheaper price. It's smart on their part and should help out other wrestling promotions.
– Here is the full schedule for the WWE Network today:
- 9am EST – Best of SmackDown – 9/17/2003
- 10:30am EST – This Week In WWE
- 11am EST – Best of RAW – 4/26/1999
- 1pm EST – Extreme Rules 2012

We all get scared right? I know I do.
I may try to hide my fears, but that doesn't mean they go away. I've been scared of the dark, guns and driving.
Right now, I'm really scared of rejection, failure and wasting time.
I'm scared of putting myself out there and getting burned. I'm scared of taking risks with nothing to show for it. I'm scared of letting people down and looking like a fool. I'm…

Ok, Stranger Still
I saw on versiontracker a upgrade of the Samba Sharing Package. I followed the instructions to go from 2.5.0b1 to b2 and now it works like a charm. So, I can now create shares at will. Still, it is pretty weird. I tried swat again and still it didn't work.
Ok, Stranger Still
I agree, this is really quite strange. I've now done this on 6 different machines: 2 Quicksilvers, 2 PB G4s, an iMac 800 flat screen, and a PB G3. All went flawlessly.

Facts and Figures
UT Southwestern is an academic medical center, world-renowned for its research, widely respected for its teaching and training, and highly regarded for the quality of clinical care its faculty provides to patients at UT Southwestern University Hospitals & Clinics and its affiliated hospitals.
The Medical Center has three degree-granting institutions: UT Southwestern Medical School, UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and UT Southwestern School of Health Professions.
- The schools train more than 4,500 medical, graduate, and health professions students, residents, and postdoctoral fellows each year.
- Ongoing support from federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, along with foundations, individuals, and corporations, provides more than $424.5 million per year to fund approximately 3,500 research projects.
- Faculty and residents provide care to nearly 91,000 hospitalized patients and oversee more than 2 million outpatient visits a year.
- UT Southwestern has about 12,600 employees and an operating budget of nearly $2.06 billion.
UT Southwestern's three-part mission is:
- To educate the next generation of leaders in patient care, biomedical science, and disease prevention.
- To conduct high-impact research.
- To deliver patient care that brings UT Southwestern's scientific advances to the bedside – focusing on quality, safety, and service.
UT Southwestern Medical School
One of four medical schools in the UT System, UT Southwestern Medical School admits about 230 students each year.
Medical students are taught the basic sciences and fundamental mechanisms of disease during the first two years, along with basic clinical skills. For the second two years, they pursue clinical courses in a variety of medical specialties at UT Southwestern's affiliated teaching hospitals and clinics.
The Medical Scientist Training Program prepares individuals for medical careers that will include biomedical research as well as the application of research discoveries to the practice of medicine. The program awards combined M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. With major financial support from the National Institutes of Health, the program provides fellowships to more than 90 exceptionally talented medical scientists.
Faculty members continue to educate physicians beyond medical school. As the largest training program in Texas, they annually train more than 1,500 clinical residents who are supplementing their M.D. education with postgraduate specialty and subspecialty training. Faculty members also provide continuing medical education. Attendance in 2013 totaled nearly 47,000 participants at almost 120 activities.
Faculty members also serve as educational resources to thousands of science teachers at hundreds of schools in North Texas through the Science Teacher Access to Resources at Southwestern (STARS) program.
UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
The Graduate School, with more than 675 predoctoral and 525 postdoctoral students enrolled, educates biomedical scientists, counselors, and engineers. Programs lead to Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Science degrees.
Future scientists are trained to investigate basic life processes from the molecular level to the whole animal. Students pursue their majors in the laboratories of some of the world's most distinguished researchers.
Eleven Ph.D. programs are offered in the Graduate School. These include Biological Chemistry, Cancer Biology, Cell Regulation, Genetics and Development, Immunology, Integrative Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Molecular Microbiology, and Neuroscience in the basic sciences, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (a joint program with UT Arlington). A master's degree is offered in Clinical Science.
UT Southwestern School of Health Professions
In addition to physicians, myriad professionals care for the sick and injured, perform diagnostic tests, and provide therapy for physically and mentally challenged individuals. These are health professionals, and their jobs span many areas of health care.
About 340 students are enrolled in the School of Health Professions. The school offers master's degrees in Clinical Nutrition, Physician Assistant Studies, Prosthetics–Orthotics, and Rehabilitation Counseling; a doctoral professional degree in Physical Therapy; and a certificate program in Radiation Therapy.
Outstanding Faculty
The excellence of any educational institution is determined by the caliber of its faculty. UT Southwestern's faculty has many distinguished members, including:
- Six Nobel Prize recipients since 1985:
- In 1985 Drs. Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of the basic mechanism of cholesterol metabolism. Dr. Goldstein is Chair of Molecular Genetics at UT Southwestern. Dr. Brown directs the Erik Jonsson Center for Research in Molecular Genetics and Human Disease.
- Johann Deisenhofer, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at UT Southwestern, shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for using X-ray crystallography to describe the structure of a protein involved in photosynthesis.
- Alfred Gilman, M.D., Ph.D., Regental Professor Emeritus, shared the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of G proteins and the role they play in the complex processes by which cells communicate with each other. Dr. Gilman last served as Dean of UT Southwestern Medical School, and prior to that, as Chair of Pharmacology.
- Bruce Beutler, M.D., Director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense, shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other scientists for their immune system investigations. Dr. Beutler was honored for the discovery of receptor proteins that recognize disease-causing agents and activate innate immunity, the first step in the body's immune response.
- Thomas Südhof, M.D., Adjunct Professor of Neuroscience and former Chair of the Department at UT Southwestern Medical Center, was one of three scientists awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of key information about how cellular transport systems work.
- 21 members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), one of the highest honors attainable by an American scientist.
- 19 members of the Institute of Medicine, a component of the NAS.
Research is the cornerstone upon which world-class medical education and patient care are built.
Investigations into cancer, neuroscience, heart disease and stroke, arthritis, diabetes, and many other fields keep UT Southwestern at the forefront of medical progress.
The Harold C. Simmons Cancer Center has National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation, an elite distinction held by only the top-tier cancer centers nationwide. The Simmons Cancer Center is the only medical center in North Texas to attain this prestigious status, which the NCI bestows upon the nation's premier cancer centers in recognition of innovative research and excellence in patient care.
The Medical Center has 11 Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators and one Early Career Scientist on campus. In 1986 the HHMI selected UT Southwestern to house one of its 12 principal laboratories. Counted among the nation's largest philanthropies, HHMI has invested approximately $10 billion over the years for the support, training, and education of the country's most creative and promising scientists.
At UT Southwestern, research on basic life processes and research on specific diseases go hand in hand. Investigators' discoveries form the foundation for new ways to prevent or treat disease.
More than 75 researchers have come through the Medical Center's acclaimed Endowed Scholars Program in Medical Science and many have established themselves as leaders in their fields.
Patient Care
The physician faculty offers patient care at UT Southwestern University Hospitals & Clinics, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Children's Medical Center Dallas, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, VA North Texas Health Care System, and other affiliated hospitals and clinics in Dallas, Fort Worth, and other North Texas communities. Faculty physicians, residents, and health care professionals at UT Southwestern provide about $135.7 million in unreimbursed clinical services annually.
The University's hospitals, located in the St. Paul and Zale Lipshy buildings, offer patients superior care and outstanding service provided by a highly trained staff. Part of UT Southwestern since 2005, the hospitals are a crucial component to the Medical Center's further development and its delivery of world-class patient care.
Zale Lipshy University Hospital is home to one of the world's premier neurological treatment centers. Its neuroangiography unit is a vitally important factor in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease. Physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating patients with neurovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson's, and other neurologic diseases as well as neurologic malignancies. Other specialties include urology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and rehabilitation.
St. Paul University Hospital houses specialty practices in cardiology, emergency medicine, general internal medicine and subspecialties, general surgery, vascular surgery, oncologic surgery as well as hematologic malignancies, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopaedics. It also houses all of the solid organ Transplant Programs, as well as a Level III neonatal intensive care unit.
A new $800 million state-of-the-art clinical facility – the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital – is changing the North Campus skyline. Scheduled to open in late 2014, the 12-floor, 460-bed hospital will replace the current St. Paul University Hospital. Named in honor of the legendary Texas governor in recognition of his 2009 gift of $100 million to the Southwestern Medical Foundation, the largest single gift for the benefit of UT Southwestern in the institution's history, the hospital will offer patients and medical personnel world-class facilities and technologies and will support the Medical Center's commitment to clinical and translational research, as well as education and training, reflecting all three core missions.
Parkland Memorial Hospital is the primary teaching institution for UT Southwestern, whose faculty provide care for all of the hospital's patients. More than half of the doctors practicing in Dallas received some or all of their training at Parkland and UT Southwestern. Parkland's Level I Trauma Center and Burn Center are internationally recognized. The new Parkland, a $1.27 billion project being built on the east side of Harry Hines Boulevard across from the current facility, is scheduled to open in 2015 and includes an 862-bed adult inpatient hospital.
Children's Medical Center Dallas is the primary pediatric teaching hospital for UT Southwestern, whose pediatric faculty are members of Children's medical staff. Children's has more than 50 pediatric specialty programs, and is the only pediatric hospital in the Southwest with a designated Level I trauma center.
The Clinical Transformation Initiatives not only are enhancing health care at UT Southwestern, but also are designed to return the practice of medicine to its patient-centered roots. UT Southwestern patients have secure Internet access to their health records, including radiology images, laboratory reports, clinic notes, medications, discharge papers, and summaries of previous visits to any physician in the UT Southwestern system. The University's Quality Improvement Program includes "Quality and Safety" information that offers transparency about quality measures and clinical performance. Launched in January 2013, this new online resource takes into account UT Southwestern performance measures and also compares them with national and state averages in four categories – Best Practices/Core Measures; Clinical Outcomes; Patient Safety; and Patient Satisfaction.
Clinical Expertise
Physicians and researchers at UT Southwestern are seamlessly integrating breakthroughs in basic science, advances in comprehensive clinical services, and the development of innovative education and prevention programs to propel overall excellence and set the Medical Center apart.
A few examples of the Medical Center's encompassing care include:
The expertise of the physicians at the Simmons Cancer Center extends to every cancer, from breast, urologic, gynecologic, lung, gastrointestinal, head and neck, brain, and skin to lymphomas, leukemia, and bone marrow transplantation.
The Doris and Harry W. Bass Jr. Clinical Center for Heart, Lung and Vascular Disease is a collaborative effort between UT Southwestern faculty and community physicians. Individualized care is available for adult congenital heart disease, cardiac imaging, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, electrophysiology, general cardiology, heart failure, heart and lung transplant, interventional cardiology or radiology, lung transplant pulmonology, mechanical circulatory assistance, preventive cardiology, pulmonary hypertension, and vascular and endovascular surgery.
UT Southwestern neurological services comprise several areas of excellence. Neurological surgeons have performed more pre-emptive surgeries to prevent aneurysm-induced stroke than in any other medical center – 2,700 in the past decade. Considered one of the top stroke centers in the U.S., UT Southwestern has been certified as a Primary Stroke Center and has earned this designation by offering comprehensive stroke treatments and achieving the lowest patient mortality rate of any Texas medical center. Clinicians and researchers also work together to treat and to find the root causes of Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, and peripheral nerve injuries. The Medical Center is home to a NIH Alzheimer's Disease Center and a Network of Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials Center.
Transplantation programs for heart, lung, kidney, and liver have been certified by the federal government's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This certification ensures broad access to the distinctive multidisciplinary approach provided by UT Southwestern's experts in the full range of related fields, including surgery, infection control, immunity, and rejection. Surgeons from the Medical Center performed Texas' first kidney transplant in 1964 and are responsible for many innovations that have become the accepted practice throughout the nation.

A small restaurant on Bleecker Street in New York City was celebrating Osama Bin Laden's death by offering customers a discount on their lunch. I had to wonder if they were actually celebrating or if they were just trying to get more business.
These awesome treats are cake pops from Starbucks. The company launched them a little over a month ago and I haven't been able to get enough of them ever since. This is a picture I took of all the birthday cake pops that my amazing friends bought for me for my birthday. The pops come in three flavors consisting of birthday cake, tiramisu, and rocky road. All three varieties are actually cakes that are blended with icing then dipped in white chocolate or chocolate. Starbucks boasts that these pops are low in calories but when you can eat AT LEAST three a day like I can it really adds up!
I want to dedicate my first post to the Monmouth County SPCA. They are by far the cleanest, friendliest, and most caring animal shelter I've been able to visit. They not only rescue animals from the Monmouth County area but will actually go to other states that are experiencing "at capacity" situations, and bring those animals to their shelter for adoption. They hold formal programs where people can learn about adopting or volunteering and they also hold informal programs where people can learn more about the misconceived pit bull breed.

Article Title
Differentiation of
Ascosphaera apis
isolates by rep-PCR fingerprinting and determination of chalkbrood incidence in Argentinean honey samples
F J Reynaldi, A C Lopez, G N Albo, A M Alippi
Ascosphaera apis
, the causative agent of chalkbrood disease in honey bee larvae occurs throughout the world and is found in many beekeeping areas of Argentina. Microbiological analysis of 394 honey samples from Buenos Aires province from three years of sampling (1999-2001) yielded 51 positive cases (13% incidence). Eighty-four isolates of
A. apis
from Argentina and Chile isolated from diseased larvae and/or honey samples were characterized on the basis of DNA fingerprints using the repetitive-sequence-based polymerase chain reaction technique (rep-PCR) with BOX-, REP-, and ERIC- sequence-specific primers. Computer-assisted analysis of combined fingerprints distinguished six groups of patterns, designated A, B, C, D, E and F. Pattern C was the most prevalent and suggests a limited diversity in the populations of
A. apis
from Argentina and Chile. The results demonstrated the usefulness of rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting to characterize populations of
A. apis
. In addition, a simple and efficient protocol for the extraction of total fungal genomic DNA was developed that was appropriate for simultaneous and cost-efficient processing of many samples.

Senate Inquiry Finds Widespread Counterfeit Components
An investigation by the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee found "overwhelming evidence" that counterfeit electronic parts, mostly from China, are making their way into critical systems used in U.S. military aircraft and other weapons systems. The committee faulted both the Department of Defense (DOD) and contractors for either failing to detect, adequately test or report bogus parts.
The investigation into DOD supply chain transactions in 2009 and 2010 revealed 1,800 cases of suspect counterfeit electronic parts representing more than one million individual parts. The committee tracked 100 of those cases back through the supply chain and traced 70 percent of the suspect parts to China. The next two largest source countries were the UK and Canada, which in some instances served as resale points for counterfeit parts from China. The findings "point to China as the dominant source of counterfeit electronic parts," the committee said.
Suspect counterfeit parts were found on SH-60B, AH-64 and CH-46 helicopters and C-17, C-130J, C-27J and P-8A fixed-wing aircraft.
The Navy's Boeing 737-based P-8A Poseidon antisubmarine warfare aircraft, now in low-rate initial production, was found to have multiple suspect parts. In one example, Boeing identified a problem in December 2009 when an ice-detection module failed on the flight line. The suspect part, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or integrated circuit, originally manufactured by Xilinx but no longer in production, "had literally fallen out of its socket and was found rattling around inside the module," according to the investigation report.
Investigators found that module supplier BAE Systems had acquired the FPGAs from Tandex Test Labs of California, which purchased them from distributor Abacus Technologies of Florida. Abacus purchased the devices from an affiliate of A Access Electronics (Hong Kong) and wired payments to a bank in Shenzhen, China. They were later found to be "reworked" from the original devices.
Boeing first notified the Navy of the suspect counterfeit part in August 2011 and eventually replaced the part in P-8As. Seven ice-detection modules with suspect FPGAs were installed on commercial 737s, whose operators subsequently were notified. Still, other suspect electronic components were contained in equipment provided by Honeywell and Rockwell Collins for the P-8A.
A DOD program, the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (Gidep), serves as a forum for the two parties to share information about non-conforming products and materials. But the committee found that only 271 reports of suspect counterfeit parts were submitted to Gidep in 2009 and 2010, the period in which it identified the 1,800 cases.

The Jazz made it kind of interesting at the end there, but I agree with Charles Barkley on this one. I never thought the Lakers were going to lose. Not once. Not even for a millisecond. Here are my rapid-fire thoughts…
- Trevor Ariza is really starting to shoot the you know what out of the ball from downtown. He went 3-3 last night from long range. Looks like his persistence (often the first and last to leave the building) along with those UCLA alum shooting sessions with Reggie Miller are starting to pay off. Also, nine assists? Ariza is super unselfish and can really pass the ball. His biggest assist came when he masterfully handled that 2-on-1 break and got Lamar Odom an easy bucket late in the game. That was huge. And who can forget the late dagger three that put the game out of reach for good?
- Shannon Brown is arriving as a player before our very eyes. He's starting to get that swagger, and like Reggie said last night, "the basket is starting to look like an ocean." 12 points on 4-6 shooting and a +9 plus-minus score, best among all bench players. Personally, I think he's are best bet to defend the Chauncey Billups and Deron Williams of the league, so I expect Phil Jackson to stick with the latest Zen Master's pet.
- Speaking of Williams, we've got to get him under control in Utah if we want to get the brooms out and advance.
- 60% shooting as a team, 55% on triples. That's some serious shooting right there.
- L.O. had 19 points and didn't miss a shot until a late three misfired. That was his only miss of the night.
- Kobe Bryant's rocker-step demo followed by a turn-around jumper in Corey Brewer's eye was a thing of beauty. As was that driving shot he managed to loft over the outstretched arms of Andrei Kirilenko and that late jumped he stuck on the baseline. The Mamba's definitely still got his late-game venom. He really turned up the offense there in the second half. Remember, Brewer can really defend. KB24 also dished out nine dimes.
- The NBA officially recorded Pau Gasol with two blocks. Yeah, OK, right. He had two on that one Jazz possession late in the game. Gasol played like a superstar on both ends, carrying the Lakers until Kobe took over down the stretch.
- When Kobe Bryant is your leading rebounder with six, your bigs have to hit the boards better. Then again, with both teams shooting as well as they did their were only so many possible rebounds.
- Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic continue to struggle. There was a stretch there where they both did two or three dumb things and I was yelling at Phil to pull 'em. I'm thinking Sasha is out there for his shooting alone, and that Farmar and the bench are going to be fast friends.
- I'm also thinking Farmar might get moved this offseason. One thought is that the Lakers could try to get Jamal Tinsley on the cheap this summer. He's a traditional point man who's pretty much guaranteed to be on his best behavior after losing a year of his career. Another positive is that year off could have allowed him to become as healthy as he's been since he was at Iowa State. The Pacers are desperate to move Tinsley and would trade him for an autographed photo of Sun Yue at this point.
- Paul Milsap is the West coast Jeff Foster. He's an extremely underrated role player.
- Andrew Bynum had four blocks and definitely made his presence felt on the defensive end. That's what the Lakers will need from him to bring a title back to L.A.
Overall, a win is a win. Domination to the point of free tacos is always nice, but winning 16 games any way you can is all that matters in the end. Now, the Jazz have to win four out of five to win the series. Good luck with that, Utah.
