I racked a big-ass IPA this weekend: it had a starting gravity in the upper 60s and IBUs around 63 from Columbus, Centennial, and Cascade. I'm going to dry-hop for about a week with Columbus but am also considering some oak chips. I really like some of the oaked stouts I've had, and I know that originally British IPAs were often aged in oak, but I've never tried it with an IPA. Thoughts on this, and on how much oak chips would make for a subtle but distinct oak flavor (for a 5 gallon batch)?
i made an oak tea once for an IPA...i think i used like 5 ounces, boiled for ten minutes, then strained and cooled the 'tea' and pitched into the secondary...the flavor was overpowering at first, but mellowed with age. you can also put the beer directly onto oak chips, which would probably be more subtle. The Dude mentioned having Jack Daniel's oak barrel chips which sound like an awsome thing to try if you can get some... just be sure to sanitize whatever your using...
Primary: empty Secondary: empty Bottled: Barbarian IPA Up next: Configuration 9
You can get oak chips from the wine section of most HBS's. I put 3.5oz in a stout and found it to be too much (dropping the steamed cubes directly in the secondary). For a lighter beer, I'd be inclined to add 1oz of oak cubes to the secondary for the last week and go from there.
I just bottled an IPA that I had aged in secondary on 2oz of oak chips and it's super oaky. I'm hoping it mellows, and I've heard that it will. I boiled them for a couple minutes in just enough water to float them.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
They imparted a harsh oaky tannin flavor to my beer which might be appreciated in wine, but not in stout. It's not the oaky flavor I mind, just the tannic bitterness. I'd probably do 2oz in a stout and no more than 1oz in a lighter beer next time (if I ever do it again at all).
I tried one ounce last time and it wasn't perceptible. It'll mellow I'm sure. I hear you about the tannins BG, I wonder if putting them in without boiling them would help? I'm going to do that next time.
Would you really want to risk not sanitizing your chips?
Maybe soak them in vodka for a bit or something first, but no boiling to anger the tannins...
Nukem. That way you won't steep the tannins into boiling water. Careful, they can turn to charcoal internally- If they get light weight, you've just made an inverted charcoal oak mini-barrel. Maybe nuke them in a tupperware 'steamer' with a couple tablespoons of water? Or soak in Bourbon? then throw the chips into the wort, and sip the "Aged in oak for 30 minutes" bourbon. Or use the whole bottle of boubon, and refill it for later sipping? Adjunct liqour perhaps?
So far, I've had more experience thinking than I've had brewing....you don't think they are mutually exclusive, do you? 72 batches so far, 48 wine, mostly Loquat, peach, plum, prickly pear 23 beers and ciders 1 sauerkraut 1 Tequila, from a prickly pear wine experiment that didn't work. I call it "Prickly Heat"

High-flying security technology developer FireEye went public in September with a lot of fanfare. But the continued growth in FireEye's stock price, the fastest among the tech companies followed by CRN, shows that the company's IPO was not a case of overhype. For the fourth quarter, ended Dec. 31, FireEye reported sales of $57.3 million, up more than 80 percent from the same period one year before. The company reported a $2.5 million loss, an improvement from the $12.6 million loss one year earlier. Sales for all of 2013 nearly doubled to $161.6 million, but the net loss for the year stood at $120.6 million.

From the reviews:
"Probably the best book ever written on the subject of mathematical physiology … It contains numerous exercises, enough to keep even the most diligent student busy, and a comprehensive list of approximately 600 references … highly recommended to anybody interested in mathematical or theoretical physiology." Mathematical Reviews
"In addition to being good reading, excellent pedagogy, and appealing science, the exposition is lucid and clear, and there are many good problem sets to choose from … Highly recommended." Journal of the Society of Mathematical Biology
"Most of the chapters, especially those outined in the second part of the book, can constitute whole monographs by themselves, and Keener and Sneyd have attempted to cover some of the fundamental modeling concepts within the respective areas." Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2000
"Both authors are seasoned experts in the field of mathematical physiology and particularly in the field of excitability, calcium dynamics and spiral waves. It directs students to become not merely skilled technicians in biological research but masters of the science." SIAM, 2004
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This massive new edition … offers an introduction to mathematical physiology that emphasizes work conducted by Keener (Univ. of Utah), Sneyd (Univ. of Auckland, New Zealand), and others over the past 20 years. It is designed as a course resource for beginning graduate students who have … some mathematical background. … Keener and Sneyd have made very reasonable choices in their subject selections. This work is an admirable resource for students with the appropriate prerequisites. Chapters include exercises … . Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students." (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 46 (10), June, 2009)
"The texts provide a comprehensive summary of the important concepts in mathematical physiology. … For those actively working in the field of mathematical physiology … is a must have. The new edition includes updated descriptions, new models, and new figures adding to the breadth of the first edition. One of the most beneficial aspects … is the addition of about a decade's worth of work and references (over 350!). … more advanced questions were added giving more flexibility when used as a course textbook." (Joe Latulippe, The Mathematical Association of America, July, 2009)
"This second edition of Mathematical physiology, ten years after the first one … provides information on recent works in mathematical physiology. … It is a very interesting book dealing with the interdisciplinary field of mathematical physiology. … Mathematical physiology, with the consequent number of exercises given at the end of each chapter, could be used in particular for a full-year course in mathematical physiology. It is also suitable for researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics, bioengineering and physiology."

Shifting Win7 partition
Years ago, I installed Win7 as dual boot on an old XP box my family uses. The XP partition was shrunk, and Win7 took up the back half of an 80GB drive. Now that the Win7 partition is getting critical in size, I want to fully replace the XP partition with the Win7 and give it the entire drive. What would be the best way to go about this?
My first attempt resulted in deactivation (I suppose some of the robocopy settings I used to pass over the hibernation and page files also skipped licensing). If I didn't know better, I would also have lost the Win7 partition. So I'm mainly concerned with keeping the licensing intact, and also avoiding drive letter issues if possible. If there is a way to simply extend the front of the Win7 partition, that would probably be my first choice. |

Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Management drive map and listings:
1. Type Disk Management in Start Search box. 2. Open Disk Mgmt. window and maximize it. 3. Type Snipping Tool in Start Search box. 4. Open Snipping Tool, choose Rectangular Snip, click New, draw a box around full drive map and all listings. 5, Save Snip, attach using paper clip in Reply Box. Tell us what is on each partition. We will give you the specific steps to recover the WIn7 boot files and disk space into its partition. |

The main task is moving C: to D:'s position (note 6% free space), or somehow extending it forward. D: is otherwise disposable. I don't recall what the 31MB at front was doingHDTune doesn't indicate any problems with sectors.
G: was the XP installation that used to be in D: (Thinking about it now, I'm not sure if it will boot correctly, but it hasn't been used in quite a while.) E: is available for space (backups/imaging) and currently contains nothing indisposable. I had tried using something like "robocopy C: D: /copyall /xj /mir /r:2" (not sure about actual drive letters, since they were shifted around in Recovery Mode). It told me 22 copies had failed, which I suppose were hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys, and probably licensing. |

Any tips for my Borg Riker?
Before you start going oh god why would you copy such an existing character blah blah, this guy actually has a backstory: just as shinzon was cloned by the romulans, Riker was cloned by the borg, but actually combined with borg tech. There are actually many more Riker borg clones but only this one got liberated. For now anyway.
So yeah, I tried to copy riker as much as I could with the char creator and added borg features. It's a bit difficult to get it right because the things that make jonathan Frakes Stand out are not available in the creator: the haircut, the portruding cranium, the portruding eyes and the long ears.. but yeah I tried to get it right.
Any tips to get it better?

Related: DANCING WITH THE STARS, Recap |
There are some nights when DANCING WITH THE STARS is just completely overdone. When it traipses from Drag-Cher glam to distracting. This was the case with tonight's episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL STARS. Sometimes it just makes you wonder if, when it comes to costuming and scripting and effects and adjectives, the cast threw a wine, craft, and vodka day at the studio.
Tonight, the "All Stars" were forced to honor past DANCING routines for Iconic Dance Week. There were some definite high-points that make even a skeptic DANCING viewer smirk (Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough) - and some low (everything Carrie Ann said.) The scores were, all in all, on the higher edge of the spectrum.
Here's how the score board broke down:
Drew Lachey and Anna Trebunskaya: Cha Cha, 24/30
Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd: Tango, 25/30
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani: Samba, 27/30
Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff: Foxtrot, 25.5/30
Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy: Paso Doble, 27/30
Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Cha Cha, 24/30
Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel: Paso Doble, 25.5/30
Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke: Paso Doble, 25/30
Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower: Quick Step, 25.5/30
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: Paso Doble, 22.5/30
Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough: Quick Step, 26.5/30

You can blame the winter weather for last month's slowdown in the housing market. Home sales in Ohio were off 4.3 percent compared to a year ago when the weather wasn't as harsh. It was the second consecutive month statewide closings dropped.
"A survey of the state's real estate professionals conducted during the month found that two-thirds of respondents indicated that the cold, snowy conditions resulted in a marked decline in home buying activity," said Chris Hall, president of the Ohio Association of Realtors, in a statement.
Like the national housing market, home sales in Cincinnati declined last month. The Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors said closings fell a little more than 7 percent in January compared to a year earlier. It's the first time in more than two years the local market has experienced a drop in closings.
Board president Ken Parchman compares it to the stock market. "Our home sales activity will experience occasional dips as we continue our upward growth," he said in a statement.
Home sales up 24% in Cincinnati
For the 26th straight month Cincinnati homes sales have continued to climb. In August they were up 24% when compared to the same month last year. President of the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors Kevin Kelly says, "Our local housing market is very active and properties that are in good condition and are prices right seem to be selling quickly."
Home sales are continuing their double digit climb in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. For more than two years sales have increased.
In Cincinnati they edged up 31% from last July to this July. In Northern Kentucky it was 32%. The average selling price in Cincinnati is $179,000, up 8% from a year earlier.
For 22 straight months Greater Cincinnati home sales have continued to climb. In April they were up 24% in Cincinnati and 17% in Northern Kentucky.
Number of homes sold
Cincinnati home sales for last month totaled 1,919 compared to 1,547 a year ago. Four hundred sixty-nine homes were sold in Northern Kentucky in April compared to 400 in April of 2012.

Bot AI
I have some problems to get bot's to do what I want them to do. Basically what im trying to do, is get them charge quickly down the hill and over a bridge, but they just don't seem to have that charge on mentality. They follow my pathnodes properly, but veery slowly. They don't want to come down from the hill very often, sometimes alone bot wanders to the bridge, but that happens quite rarely. I'd like to see them just get down that hill and over the bridge, but they just keep staying on the hill. Is there some some way to tell bot's something like "Get on this node quickly now, and proceed quickly to next node"?

Hi Vee,
What have you got inbetween the player_starts and the place you want them to get to... Hopefully just path_nodes... and some attractor at the place you wish them to get to, ie a BIG UT weapon should work well. The UT stuff will always get replaced with Inf_Spots away but should attract the bots in the same manner. Or as the man said an ambush point with a stay time of not a lot maybe.. Oh, have you got nice clean blue lines inbetween your path_nodes... ? Bastard'O |

Hmmm... No, no nice clean blue lines, there should be them..? Maybe too dense locating of nodes has something to do with that?
Only path_nodes between player_start and destination. Ah, and thanks for the UT weapon hint, it seems to help , still have to work with it though. V |

Here's what I don't get about head tracking :-
I'm driving along and come up to a sharp left hander like the Loewes Hairpin at Monaco, I look left to look into the corner but now I am no longer looking at my TV. I can see how it would work if you have the multiple monitor setup that forza allows but on a single screen you'll end up not looking at your TV for most of the time unless the sensor if very sensitive in which case you'll probably end up "head tracking" when you really didn't mean to.
The head tracking in GT5 with the eye cam wasn't upto much due to the above.
Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it's any better in Forza as I have the kinect.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Wonderful storytelling,
This review is from: Rustication: A Novel (Paperback)
Charles Palliser's Rustication: A Novel is not one of our usual type of books, but it is a powerful story. Richard fulfills most of the characteristics of a malingerer and a daydreamer intoxicated as he mostly was, but his journey to reality is similar to ours through life as we mature and become responsible. The country life is vividly described in this story that is rich, imaginative with deep psychological insights. This is a theme I find fascinating after having been introduced to it by a friend in school who directed me to read The Usurper: and Other Stories. Overall, I hardly have any criticism of this story. Charles Palliser stood out here as a wonderful storyteller.

Judge Nixes Preliminary Approval Of $765M NFL Case
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge denied preliminary approval of a $765 million settlement of NFL concussion claims, fearing it may not be enough to cover 20,000 retired players.
U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody asked for more financial information from the parties, a week after players' lawyers filed a detailed payout plan for her review.
"I am primarily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) … will be paid," Brody wrote in a 12-page opinion filed Tuesday morning.
The proposed settlement, negotiated over several months, is designed to last at least 65 years.
The awards would vary based on an ex-player's age and diagnosis. A younger retiree with Lou Gehrig's disease would get $5 million, those with serious dementia cases would get $3 million and an 80-year-old with early dementia would get $25,000.
Some critics have argued that the NFL, with more than $9 billion in annual revenues, was getting away lightly. But the players' lawyers said they will face huge challenges just to get the case to trial. They would have to prove the injuries were linked to the players' NFL service and should not be handled through league arbitration.
Layn R. Phillips, a former federal judge from California hired by Brody to lead settlement negotiations, had called the deal fair.
The NFL would also pay an additional $112 million to the players' lawyers for their fees and expenses, for a total payout of nearly $900 million.
More than 4,500 former players have filed suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia.

This image depicts a familiar scene to many Kent inhabitants. It shows the wonderful Scotney Castle, which is located quite near to the towns of Lamberurst and Tunbridge Wells. The castle is one of many National Trust properties which is open throughout the year. The location is ideal for both photographers and botanists alike due to its immense and tranquil gardens. I prefer to visit during the Autumn and Spring, where the colours are constantly changing.

text: This was the only bed and breakfast place I booked for my 10 day European tour with my college-age daughter who just finished up her semester abroad. We had stayed at hotels in Madrid, Prague, and Munich. This was our final stop and it was perfect. Susan is a wonderful host. She's American which was nice for us, because she could compare Amsterdam places to US places; she understood our preferences. Our room was ample and the split bathrooms (one with a shower and a sink; the other the commode) were handy. On our bedroom "apartment" floor is Susan's kitchen and living room. She provided us with 3 different breakfasts giving us some local flavor; we loved the fruit pancakes! Susan was also great in providing detailed information about restaurants, bike shops, museums, etc. Her place has WIFI, so you can certainly look up stuff too. Although the living room and kitchen can be used by Susan, we didn't have a privacy issue at all. She's a busy lady and as tourists we were out a lot too. We enjoyed picking up some dinner items though and just crashing one or two nights. One does have to walk up the typical narrow, steep stairs that Amsterdam houses have. But what a view we had. Quaint and airy. The place is also easy to find per her directions; just 10 minutes from the Central train station.

Bryant named top 3B prospect by MLB.com
(Photo by Stephen Green)
The 2015 Prospect Watch continued on MLB.com Tuesday with perhaps the least surprising unveiling of the week. Adding to his already-packed trophy case, Cubs farmhand Kris Bryant was named the top third baseman in the minors. The 23-year-old had a huge season in 2014 and is likely primed to make his major league debut in 2015. Here's some of what MLB.com had to say:
[Bryant] won every Minor League player of the year award imaginable in 2014, when he led the Minors in home runs (43), extra-base hits (78), total bases (325), slugging (.661) and OPS (1.098) while reaching Triple-A in his first full pro season.
Bryant has everything needed to lead the Majors in homers at some point: size, strength, bat speed and loft in his swing, plus the willingness to work counts to find a pitch he can punish. He doesn't sell out for power, instead letting it come naturally, and he can drive the ball out of the park to the opposite field as well as anyone. Though Bryant will pile up some strikeouts, he makes enough hard contact to hit for a solid average and draws enough walks to post a robust on-base percentage.
Chicago's stockpile of young infielders eventually could push him to the outfield, where he played some in college at San Diego. Scouts love his makeup almost as much as his power and think he'll be a star.
Though his ultimate defensive location is still in question, it's the slugger's bat that will undoubtedly get him to the majors. In 138 games between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa last year, he hit .325/.438/.661 (AVG/OBP/SLG) with 34 doubles and showed some speed on the basepaths with 15 stolen bases.
ESPN's Law ranks the Cubs' system best in baseball

In July, ESPN prospect expert Keith Law raved about the Cubs' system, naming it the best in the game at that point. He went so far as to say, "This has to be the most loaded the Cubs' farm has been in at least 30 years."
That feeling has continued to resonate with Law, who again named the Cubs' farm system the best in baseball heading into the 2015 season.
1. Chicago Cubs
The Cubs' draft strategy under the Theo Epstein/Jed Hoyer regime has been to grab a polished hitter in the first round and load up on arms later. That, along with the trade of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel that netted two more top hitting prospects, has produced a system that's full of hitting prospects but still a bit light on the pitching side. The first wave of bats reached the majors in the middle of 2014, with more coming this year, but there won't be enough at-bats for Javier Baez and Jorge Soler and Arismendy Alcantara and Addison Russell and Kyle Schwarber and Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo … and that's not even everyone who might end up pushing for playing time. The Cubs are in prime position to flip a young hitter for a pitcher or even to swing a bigger deal, especially if they want to try to set themselves up to win the NL Central in 2016. There are young starting pitching prospects here to like, led by 20-year-old Duane Underwood, but they're all a few years away.
Law ranked the Cubs the No. 4 system at this time in 2014, No. 5 in 2013, and No. 20 in 2012—mere months after Epstein and Hoyer took over.
Law will unveil his top 100 prospects on Thursday and list his top 10 prospects for each club on Friday.
Vogelbach among minor leagues' best first basemen
(Photo by Aldrin Capulong/Daytona Cubs)
As MLB.com continues its positional top 10 prospect lists, the Cubs have another young player getting press. On Friday, the 2015 Prospect Watch unveiled its top minor league first basemen, with slugger Dan Vogelbach slotting in at No. 8. The big 2011 second-round pick has long been known as a deep-ball threat. Here's some of what MLB.com had to say about Vogelbach:
Bryce Harper made a name for himself when he slammed a 502-foot home run at the 2009 Power Showcase, a high school homer run derby, and Vogelbach topped him the next year with a 508-foot blast. … Vogelbach is more than just a one-dimensional masher, however. He controls the strike zone, makes consistent contact and uses the entire field, so he should hit for a solid average while providing plus power. He has yet to fully tap into his pop, though he's also still just 22.
There are two obstacles to him becoming a regular for the Cubs: All-Star Anthony Rizzo and persistent questions about whether Vogelbach has enough athleticism to be more than a DH.
Vogelbach spent the entire 2014 season at High-A Daytona with mixed results. He batted .268/.357/.429 (AVG/OBP/SLG) compiling a solid 66 walks and 28 doubles and driving in 76 runs. That said, he also only hit 16 home runs and his .787 OPS left something to be desired, especially given that power is by far his most prominent tool. Known as a slow starter, his production picked up as the season progressed. His 2015 could be an important year, especially if he gets an extended opportunity at Double-A Tennessee.

Cubs Winter League Recap: 1/25/15
The winter postseasons are wrapping up, which inevitably means less baseball is being played. That said, there were a few Cubs representatives in action Sunday who performed at a high level. Here are some notes from yesterday's action around the Caribbean:
Dominican Republic
- CF Junior Lake had a pair of hits, including a two-run homer in the eighth inning, but the Estrellas de Oriente fell to the Gigantes del Cibao Sunday, losing the Dominican series 5-3. Earlier this winter, prospect Junior Felix Arias represented the Gigantes, who will now play in the Caribbean Series.
Puerto Rico
- 2B Javier Baez finished 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk as the Cangrejeros de Santurce secured a 9-1 win over the Indios de Mayaguez, taking a 3-2 lead in the best-of-nine series.
Ernie Banks statue to be placed on display in Daley Plaza as a public memorial
The Chicago Cubs and Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Sunday that Ernie Banks' Wrigley Field statue will be placed in Daley Plaza this week from Wednesday morning through Saturday, allowing fans to honor and remember the Hall of Famer. Banks passed away Friday night after suffering cardiac arrest at the age of 83.
Banks became the first player in Cubs history to be honored with a statue at Wrigley Field in 2008. Mayor Emanuel and the City of Chicago will host the statue, which has been temporarily removed from its home at the corner of Clark and Addison during the current phase of the Wrigley Field restoration project. The statue is being transported from a facility outside of the city where it is being restored and will be placed in Daley Plaza upon arrival in Chicago.
Mayor Emanuel called Banks a friend who was a great ambassador for the city.
"Ernie Banks' legacy extends far beyond his Hall of Fame stats. He was beloved by generations of people for the way he played on the field and—more importantly—for the kind and warm person he was off the field," Emanuel said. "We are bringing Ernie's statue to Daley Plaza to honor not just one of the best ballplayers of all time, but a great man who made our city proud from the day we first met him in 1953."
Inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1977, Banks was a lifelong Cub who played for 19 seasons. He was a 14-time All-Star and back-to-back National League Most Valuable Player in 1958 and 1959. He hit 512 home runs in his career, and his 277 home runs as a shortstop remain a National League record.
The greatest player in franchise history, Banks ranks first among Cubs in games played (2,528), at-bats (9,421), extra-base hits (1,009) and total bases (4,706); second in home runs (512), RBI (1,636) and hits (2,583); third in doubles (407); fifth in runs scored (1,305); seventh in triples (90); and eighth in walks (763).
He was the first Cub to have his number retired in 1982, was voted to Major League Baseball's All-Century Team in 1999, and was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013.
"Ernie Banks was a great player and an even better person," said Tom Ricketts, Chairman of the Cubs. "He was a kind, gentle man who loved his fans as much as they loved him. We couldn't think of a better way to honor Ernie than to allow those fans a way to pay their final respects to this great man."
From the Vine Line Archives: Our 2014 Q&A with Ernie Banks and Derek Jeter
(Photo courtesy New York Yankees)
On Friday night, baseball fans across the country were saddened by the news that Cubs great Ernie Banks had died at the age of 83. Always in a chipper mood, Banks could put a smile on anybody's face and was accurately nicknamed "Mr. Cub" for his passion towards the organization. When the Yankees made a rare appearance at the Friendly Confines in late May of last year, Vine Line had a rare opportunity to sit down with the Hall of Famer Banks and the recently retired Derek Jeter for a memorable conversation. The following story is from the July 2014 issue.
Mr. Cub and Mr. November. When it comes to playing shortstop in the major leagues, it's hard to do better than Cubs legend Ernie Banks and all-time Yankees great Derek Jeter.
Between them, they have 28 All-Star appearances, two MVP Awards (with 10 top-10 finishes) and six Gold Gloves. They have also amassed nearly 6,000 hits and 800 home runs. Banks was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977. Assuming Jeter holds firm on his decision to retire after this season, he just needs the calendar to turn to 2019 for his certain enshrinement.
Both enjoyed long and distinguished careers with one organization; both spawned memorable moments and were the faces of their respective franchises; and both became great ambassadors for the game.
When Derek Jeter made a rare interleague appearance in Chicago this past May, Vine Line and Yankees Magazine couldn't let the opportunity to get the two iconic players together slip away.
Yankees Magazine Editor-in-Chief Alfred Santasiere III spoke to the man affectionately known as Mr. Cub and the Yankees captain about playing a demanding defensive position, spending their entire careers with a single team, playing at the Friendly Confines and more.
For baseball fans, it doesn't get any better than this.
Vine Line: First of all, it's an honor to be here with two of the greatest shortstops the game has ever seen. Thank you both. Mr. Jeter, how did Mr. Banks, who is over 6 feet tall, impact the future of the position?
Derek Jeter: I've had the opportunity to meet Phil Rizzuto and Pee Wee Reese, who were two of the other great shortstops from Mr. Banks' era. Those guys epitomized who played that position back then—shorter guys without a lot of power. Mr. Banks redefined the position, and he really paved the way for taller players like me to get the opportunity to play shortstop.
Ernie Banks: Who were the shortstops you watched when you were growing up?
DJ: I was a big Cal Ripken Jr. fan. He's 6 foot 4, and he played the position as well as anyone I had seen. I also liked watching Barry Larkin, who played his college ball in my home state of Michigan. Alan Trammell played for the Detroit Tigers, and they were on TV a lot in my house when I was growing up, so I got to see him play frequently.
EB: Why didn't they ever move you to third base?
DJ: I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out.
VL: Mr. Banks, what are your thoughts on Mr. Jeter's ability to play such a demanding position so well for nearly two decades?
EB: Well, he's a remarkable player, and that's proven by the fact that he is still playing shortstop. We all slow down a little as we get older. I moved to first base after about 10 seasons at shortstop. But Derek has done what no one else has, and that's remarkable.
VL: How much does it mean to each of you to have played for one team your entire careers—and to be synonymous with those teams?
DJ: Playing my entire career in New York has always been important to me. I've been fortunate because in this day and age, it's more difficult to stay with one team than when Mr. Banks was playing. With free agency, there is so much player movement, and teams get rid of players when there are younger players available who can play the same position a little better. But I can't imagine playing anywhere else.
EB: It means the world to me. We played all day games in Chicago back then because they didn't have lights at Wrigley Field until 1988. That was something I got used to and really enjoyed. The only night games we played were when we were on the road. Like Derek said, I couldn't have imagined what it would have been like to play for another team. If I had played for another team and I had to play most of the games at night, it would have felt like every game was an away game for me.
VL: How would each of you describe your respective fan bases?
EB: The fans here are loyal. When I was playing, I got to meet a lot of fans, and that was a lot of fun. I signed autographs for as many kids as I could because I thought that one day I might be asking one of those kids for a job. Cubs fans aren't as loud as Yankees fans though. The first time I met Derek, I asked him what it's like playing in New York. He looked at me and said, "When you win, it's loud."
DJ: That's a great story. Yankees fans follow the team closely, and there's a lot of energy in Yankee Stadium every time we take the field. The expectation level is high, but there's no better place to win than in New York.
VL: The enthusiasm that both of you have for the game is well documented. What makes playing baseball for a living so enjoyable?
DJ: Every day is a new day. It's kind of like life in that you wake up and you never know what's going to happen when you get to the ballpark. Regardless of how you played the day before, you come to the ballpark with a clean slate the next day. I like that about baseball. I have enjoyed competing and being around my teammates as well. That's why I have played the game for as long as I have.
EB: It was fun being out there every day. That's why I said, "It's a great day for baseball. Let's play two." I especially enjoyed playing the shortstop position. For me, making adjustments to where I was going to play in the field depending on who was on the mound and who was at the plate was part of the game I relished. I got as much fun out of the strategy of the game and making sure I was in the right place to turn double plays as I got out of hitting the ball out of the park.
VL: Mr. Banks, what were the most challenging aspects of going directly from the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues to the Cubs at a time when there were very few African-Americans in the majors?
EB: As far as being discriminated against, that's all I knew since the time I was growing up. But the hardest thing about leaving the Monarchs for the Cubs was saying goodbye to my teammates in Kansas City. I liked being around those guys, and I didn't want to leave them. They were like my family.
VL: How did you adjust to life in the big leagues?
EB: I played for [legendary Negro Leagues player and manager] Buck O'Neil in Kansas City, and I played alongside Gene Baker and Tony Taylor, who knew a lot about the game. I learned how to play the game from those guys. They taught me about the intricacies of the game and the shortstop position. That along with some God-given ability made it so I was prepared to play in the big leagues when I arrived in Chicago.
VL: Mr. Jeter, how was your career impacted by what Mr. Banks and others did in breaking the color barrier in the early 1950s?
DJ: It's unimaginable for me. Mr. Banks is one of the players who paved the way for all African-Americans to play the game. I'm grateful to him for what he did on the field, and I also appreciate the way he has treated me since I was a young player.
VL: Mr. Banks, what stands out about Mr. Jeter's accomplishments and the way he has represented himself and his team over the years?
EB: I really admire him. He's accomplished so many great things. He's knowledgeable about every aspect of playing the game. He studies the opposing pitchers, and he learned how to hit the ball to all fields at a young age. He's an amazing young player. When he got his 3,000th hit on a home run, that was really special for me to watch. What was that like for you, Derek?
DJ: Well, I appreciate you referring to me as a young player. Hitting that home run felt great. More than anything, I was happy that it happened in front of our fans in New York.
EB: How did you do that?
DJ: I closed my eyes and swung the bat.
VL: Mr. Banks, what makes Wrigley Field such a special baseball destination?
EB: It's special because it has been here for 100 years, and we've had some great teams. It's a beautiful place, and so much history has taken place on this field. Babe Ruth stood a few feet from where we are sitting, pointed to the seats and then hit the ball out of the park. More than 80 years later, Derek Jeter will come up to the plate in the same place. That's an amazing thing. Also, the fans are very close to the field, and that makes it an intimate setting for baseball. There's no better place to watch a game.
VL: Mr. Jeter, how exciting is it to visit Wrigley Field in your final season—and during the stadium's centennial?
DJ: I like being a part of history and tradition, and I'm thrilled to get one last chance to play here—especially since I was on the disabled list when we played here in 2011. I drove here with my class on my last day of high school, and that is a great memory. If I could have written a script for my career back then, I would have included a trip to Wrigley Field during my final season.
EB: You're not really going to quit, are you?
DJ: After this season.
EB: You can't do that.
DJ: Yes, I can.
EB: I wish guys like you never had to quit.
DJ: Well, let's just say I'm moving on.

Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks dies at age 83
(Photo courtesy National Baseball Hall of Fame Library)
The Chicago Cubs tonight are saddened to announce that Hall of Famer Ernie Banks, the greatest Cub in franchise history, has passed away at the age of 83.
"Words cannot express how important Ernie Banks will always be to the Chicago Cubs, the city of Chicago and Major League Baseball. He was one of the greatest players of all time," said Tom Ricketts, chairman of the Cubs. "He was a pioneer in the major leagues. And, more importantly, he was the warmest and most sincere person I've ever known.
"Approachable, ever optimistic and kind-hearted, Ernie Banks is and always will be Mr. Cub. My family and I grieve the loss of such a great and good-hearted man, but we look forward to celebrating Ernie's life in the days ahead."
Inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1977, Ernie played the game he loved as a lifelong Cub for 19 seasons from when he made his debut with the club in 1953 until his retirement in 1971. He was a 14-time All-Star and back-to-back National League Most Valuable Player in 1958 and 1959. He hit 47 home runs with 129 RBI in 1958 and followed that up with 45 home runs and 143 RBI in 1959.
Banks hit 512 home runs in his career, surpassing the 40-home run mark five times, and his 277 home runs as a shortstop remain a National League record.
Banks ranks first among Cubs players in games played (2,528), at-bats (9,421), extra-base hits (1,009) and total bases (4,706); second in home runs (512), RBI (1,636) and hits (2,583); third in doubles (407); fifth in runs scored (1,305); seventh in triples (90); and eighth in walks (763).
While still a player in 1967, Ernie turned his eye to coaching and served in that role through 1973, becoming the first African-American to manage a major league team on May 8, 1973, when he took over for the ejected Whitey Lockman.
Banks became the first player in franchise history to have his number retired in 1982, and his flag flies from the left-field foul pole to this day. He was also voted to Major League Baseball's All-Century Team, and he was honored on the field at the All-Star Game in Fenway Park in 1999.
Beyond his statistics on the field, Banks was famous for his endearing charm and his remarkable wit. He became the first player in franchise history to be honored with a statue at Wrigley Field when he helped with the unveiling at Clark and Addison on March 31, 2008. His statue is adorned with his famous line, "Let's Play Two."
In 2013, Banks was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an award given to those who have made an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

'Son of God': Not the greatest story ever told, but it has spirit
A three-star movie review of "Son of God," a spinoff of the History Channel miniseries "The Bible" with Diogo Morgado as Jesus.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'Son of God,' with Diogo Morgado, Sebastian Knapp, Greg Hicks, Darwin Shaw, Joe Wredden. Directed by Christopher Spencer, from a screenplay by Spencer, Richard Bedser, Colin Swash and Nic Young. 138 minutes. Rated PG-13 for crucifixion scene. Several theaters.
What a pleasant surprise: a biblical film that doesn't turn into a gory freak show or a speculation about the marital status of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Instead, "Son of God" offers a rational, straightforward, contemporary take on the life of Jesus, filmed in Morocco and starring a Portuguese actor, Diogo Morgado, who brings an infectiously revolutionary spirit to the central role. His recruiting of Peter (Darwin Shaw) is especially effective.
At the same time, Morgado suggests a questioning prophet who isn't entirely sure of his powers. This is clearly a man who could predict Judas and Peter's betrayals of him and wonder, from the cross, if his God had forsaken him.
The movie is a big-screen spinoff of last year's History Channel miniseries, "The Bible," in which Morgado also played Jesus. It rarely looks like a television byproduct, though there's a rushed quality to the introduction of several characters, including Judas (Joe Wredden) and Pontius Pilate (a truly scary Greg Hicks). Will there be a longer version on DVD?
The modern tone was intentional. The co-producer, Mark Burnett, recently told The New York Times that sending Pilate to the Holy Land would be like "sending someone to be the ambassador to Afghanistan right now." Burnett calls the result "a political thriller," and to a degree it succeeds on that level.
"Son of God" isn't a great or necessary film, but it brings the gospels and the teachings of Jesus back to center stage. The miracles are there, and so is an unambiguous resurrection, so the movie is likely to satisfy believers who felt alienated by such crude blockbusters as "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Da Vinci Code."

GAO Review of the Department of Homeland Security's Certification of the Secure Flight Program--Cost and Schedule Estimates
GAO-10-535R: Published: Apr 5, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 5, 2010.

The matching of airline passenger information against terrorist watchlist records (watchlist matching) is a frontline defense against acts of terrorism that target the nation's civil aviation system. In general, passengers identified as matches to the No-Fly list are prohibited from boarding commercial flights, while those matched to the Selectee list are required to undergo additional screening. Historically, airline passenger prescreening against watchlist records has been performed by commercial air carriers. As required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has developed an advanced passenger prescreening program--known as Secure Flight--to assume from air carriers the function of matching passenger information against terrorist watchlist records. Since fiscal year 2004, TSA has received $358 million in appropriated funds for the development and implementation of Secure Flight, according to program officials. Also, since fiscal year 2004, GAO has been mandated to assess the development and implementation of the Secure Flight program. We have reported on numerous challenges the program has faced, including those related to protecting passenger privacy, completing performance testing, fully defining and testing security requirements, and establishing reliable cost and schedule estimates, among other things. We have made recommendations to address these challenges, and TSA has generally agreed with them and has taken corrective actions.
TSA has generally achieved the statutory condition related to the appropriateness of Secure Flight's life-cycle cost and schedule estimates, and thus has generally achieved all 10 statutory conditions related to the development and implementation of the program. Although the program's cost and schedule estimates do not fully meet all related best practices, TSA has demonstrated that it completed all key activities and our overall assessment found that the agency had substantially satisfied best practices for developing the cost and schedule estimates. According to TSA, the Secure Flight program's estimated life-cycle cost is $1.36 billion through fiscal year 2020. TSA plans to complete assumption of the watchlist-matching function from air carriers for all domestic flights in May 2010 and to assume this function for all international flights departing to and from the United States by December 2010. If effectively maintained and updated, TSA's cost and schedule estimates should help ensure oversight and accountability of the Secure Flight program and provide assurance that it will be delivered within estimated costs and time frames.

Young Nudists at Sunsport Gardens Naturist Resort Talk About Intimacy, Hairy Pits, and Freedom (NSFW)
A 29-year old ginger with a low ponytail, Chris, came in from Washington State, where he and his wife help organize Vita Nuda, another naturist organization. Annette, as it turns out, is a 21-year old student from Westin who grew up getting naked with the family. She was at this Spring Bash with her brother and twin sister, their seventh bash. "It's not a big deal in our family," she said matter-of-factly, "I'd say we're very liberal... I guess." And we all laughed.
Chris clarified that whole point in coming here isn't about getting undressed in front of people, but rather it allows you to do the things you can't do at home naked, "It's not so much about being in public, it's about being able to do other things." They can play volleyball (again...), swim, and watch a band. We then discussed the uselessness of bathing suits.

'House of horrors' described at triple murder trial
D'Andre Howard turned a quiet suburban home into a "house of horrors," prosecutors said this morning at the opening of his murder trial, describing a chain of horrific events in which he stabbed four family members, killing three and seriously injuring the fourth.
"He told them he was going to make them pay," Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Kristin Piper said during opening statements at Howard's triple murder trial.
Howard's public defenders – whom he had sought to fire just the day before the jury was seated – didn't contest that he committed the crime in April 2009, but blamed it on his mental illness.
It "boiled up and led him to kill the only family he ever had," Public Defender Georgeen Carson said.
She said he heard voices in his head, suffered "increasing psychosis" the day of the killings and "broke with reality."
"He does have a mental illness preventing him from appreciating the criminality of what he was doing" when he stabbed four members of his girlfriend's family, Carson said.
Piper laid out the horrific chain of events: Howard, now 26, and his girlfriend, Amanda Engelhardt, fought the previous night in the Schaumburg apartment they shared with their baby daughter, and he accused Amanda Engelhardt of cheating.
Amanda Engelhardt's parents, Shelly and Alan Engelhardt, came to get her and their granddaughter and they returned to the parents' Hoffman Estates home.
Howard showed up at the home at about 1:45 a.m., where he continued to argue with Amanda Engelhardt and then slipped a kitchen knife under his coat and seemingly left.
Amanda Engelhardt, the first to take the stand following opening statements Wednesday, said she went to sleep and woke up a short time later "with a knife at my throat."
Howard then tied up Amanda Engelhardt and her mother, threatened to kill the rest of the family in front of them and went upstairs, where he woke up Amanda's sister Laura Engelhardt, 18, and tied her up.
When he briefly untied Laura Engelhardt later, she managed to grab the knife and stab Howard with it.
Defense attorneys described this as the act that set Howard off.
"When Laura stabbed him, he reacted on a very primitive level," Carson said.
Howard "became so angry, he repeatedly stabbed Laura in the chest, over and over and over," Piper said. He then stabbed Shelly Engelhardt after she began screaming.
When Shelly Engelhardt's mother, Marlene Gacek, 73, woke up from the screaming, Howard ran into the kitchen and stabbed her in the chest. Howard then stabbed Alan Engelhardt, 57, Shelly's husband and Laura and Amanda's father, and slashed his throat, authorities said.
Amanda Engelhardt, physically unharmed, and Laura Engelhardt, now suffering from several stab wounds but still conscious, begged Howard to let them call 911, but an hour went by before he relented, according to authorities.
Howard sought to hide the murder weapon under the TV stand, but did not flee. Authorities found him lying between Shelly and Laura Engelhardt on the den floor, officials said.
Laura and Alan Engelhardt and Marlene Gacek died as a result of the attack. Laura Engelhardt's mother Shelly Engelhardt was also attacked, but survived.
Shelly Engelhardt took the stand Wednesday afternoon, retelling in a calm, composed manner how Howard tied her up, stuck a sock in her mouth and stabbed her.
"He said because Amanda ruined his family, he was going to ruin ours," Shelly Engelhardt told jurors and a courtroom filled with family supporters and onlookers. She recalled drifting in and out of consciousness as the carnage continued around her.
Shelly Engelhardt also talked of how Howard had been treated as a member of her family. He had stayed with the family for about a month and also spent a stint living at Alan Engelhardt's mother's house in Morton Grove. He was invited to family events and to church, Shelly Engelhardt said.
Under cross examination, Shelly Engelhardt was asked if she told doctors who treated her after the attack that Howard was "delusional, paranoid and controlling." Shelly Engelhardt said she didn't recall saying that.
Howard, who was engaged to Amanda Engelhardt at the time of the attack, has sat calmly during the proceedings.
