Japan Import:You may remember this from GameCube, when we went all giddy with anticipation at the prospect of Final Fantasy returning to Nintendo, then got sick with disappointment when we discovered it wasn't going to be a proper Final Fantasy after all.
We were relieved when it turned out to be more fun than a sack full of moogles, but in the end it didn't matter, since the massive cost and logistical unlikeliness of the four Game Boy Advances and link-up cables required to play it meant that, in the end, hardly anyone actually saw the thing.
Second time lucky
Luckily, the people at Square Enix never forgot just how good Crystal Chronicles was, and, now that they're back in the fold as Market-Leading Nintendo's best buddies and technology has advanced to the stage where wires are quaint little relics from 2004, they've done us a sequel.
Like the original, it's a dungeon-crawling adventure that plays a little bit like a faster-paced Phantasy Star Online. You control one plucky young warrior, accompanied ideally by three like-minded friends with whom you'll combine magic attacks and take specialised roles in the relentless combat that forms the bulk of the game.
The D-pad makes your bloke scamper around, and every other button is used for picking things up, attacking with the main weapon or using special magic attacks. There's even a jump button, as the game features a lot of simple platforming sections, and the touch screen is used for selecting magic, using potions, accessing menus - and switching between characters if you aren't able to enjoy the full four-player, four-cartridge experience.
There's a lot of stuff going on and it isn't particularly easy to control, especially when the buttons have context-sensitive functions and the more advanced actions require multiple inputs. For example, if you're controlling two characters on your own, which you'll probably have to at some point, combining their magic attacks involves a finger-twisting combination of two shoulder buttons, the touch screen, the D-pad and the X button - and the enemy won't stand there waiting while you fumble up multiple levels of magical fantastic.
These frequent fiddly bits, and a general lack of friendliness that extends to not actually pausing the game when you access the menus in single-player mode, means this lovely new Crystal Chronicles can come across as the cantankerous old bugger of the action-RPG world. Clearly, Square Enix have forgotten that first impressions count.
But while the controls never quite clicked with us, and the diagonal camera view often falls foul of the DS Lite D-pad's utter contempt for diagonal directions, we're really quite taken with the game as a whole.
Looking good
The main thing is that there's plenty of it and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at. And when you do manage to arrange a four-player session, Crystal Chronicles flies as beautifully as its older, unplayed brother. The more people you've got, the more possibilities there are for the strategic role-play that's so satisfying in this sort of thing. The designated healer will need to collect potions from the others and stand out of the way, reviving doomed colleagues from the safety of the battlefield's margins, while the other players use melée attacks or ranged weapons.
When the time is right, everyone can combine their magic for some devastating blows that require great co-ordination. The ability to pick up and throw smaller enemies adds another element to the action, and while it's rarely difficult to progress through the game, the fun is in battering the enemy as impressively as possible, then scrambling for the shiny goodies that spill from their corpses.

This is the first time a leading music tool developer has brought a complete professional desktop music application from the personal computer to the mobile world. ReBirth is a true reproduction of the Propellerhead's acclaimed music-making software from 1997 for the iPhone.
ReBirth literally puts faithful emulations of dance music's vintage analog hardware at iPhone users' fingertips: the Roland TB-303 Bass synth and the Roland TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines. Combine these with audio effects units, fully featured pattern sequencers and a quick-acting, scalable iPhone interface and users will soon be making techno on the train, trance on the tram or beats on the bus.

About the original ReBirth RB-338
With the release ReBirth RB-338 in 1997 Propellerhead pioneered a new era of music making by realistically emulating historic hardware synthesizers and drum machines in software on personal computers. For the first time, users could get the actual sound of those vintage analog devices without hunting down, paying exorbitant prices for and having the headaches of maintaining classic gear. Led by Propellerhead Software, this "virtual instrument" concept, seemingly impossible at the time, started a trend to the point that it now is commonplace in music software.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

DOLAN SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say an Arizona shooting instructor has died after he was accidentally shot while showing a 9-year-old girl how to use an automatic Uzi.
Mohave County Sheriff's officials say 39-year-old Charles Vacca, of Lake Havasu City, died Monday after he was shot at the Last Stop shooting outdoor range in White Hills.
Sheriff's officials say Vacca was airlifted to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
According to investigators, Vacca was standing next to the girl when she pulled the trigger and the recoil sent the gun over her head.
Deputies say the girl was at the shooting range with her parents.

Custom screen printing is an art form that cannot easily be achieve by just anyone. Indeed, when people imagine screen printing they think about using some ink and a t-shirt and easily creating just any old t-shirt or sweatshirt. They don't imagine the details that go into this process. They don't think about the requirements of doing so, and they don't think about how much skilled and artistic acumen it takes to truly be a successful screen printer. However, it is exactly for these reasons that screen printing is to be accomplished by individuals who are trained and passionate about creating art in this way. Screen printing truly is an art form and one that so many people rely on for their businesses and in other settings. But what is screen printing, exactly? Screen printing, by definition, is a technique of printing that works with woven mesh to create a stencil used for ink-blocking. This stencil allows for some ink to pass through onto the t-shirt while preventing other ink from doing so. The stencil transfers ink and other materials onto something known as a "substrate." Then, a blade is pushed along the screen stencil which pushes ink into the openings, transferring the ink onto the t-shirt.
You can also make screen printing happen in other ways. You can use a polyester screen to impose an image. Areas that are meant to be left blank are covered with a substance that is impermeable to ensure that ink does not pass through. A similar processes as noted before is used to push ink through the openings in the mesh, using the fill blade. If you are hoping to create an image that uses multiple colors, then many screens must be used- one for each color. You can see just by getting an elementary understanding of the ink printing process why it is so important to create a clean and clear cut image if you hope to print it onto a t-shirt. The images that look best on t-shirts are the ones that are the sharpest and clearest. Alternate names for this screen printing process include "silkscreen" or "serigraphy" or "serigraph printing."
What does all of this have to do with you? Understanding the process of screen printing can be very important for achieving the kinds of high quality printing jobs that people hope for when they send their images to the screen printers. Knowing the limitations, and also the power, of the printing method you are looking into will help you create an image that is more effectively printed onto a t-shirt. When you work with the expert screen printers at Superior Ink Printing, you will also have a team that you can work with to help you create an image that works well for your purposes. This is the beauty of an art-centered screen printing team. They will be better equipped to help you get the kinds of screen printed garments that you have been dreaming of, whether your purposes include branding or are just for fun!

Grano, Rome
Italy 00186
Tel: 39 06 6819 2096
Concierge.com's insider take:
Concept restaurants come and go in Rome, but Grano has substance to match its style, and the location—in a pretty piazza just around the corner from the Pantheon—could hardly be better. The name translates as grain or wheat, a theme that underpins both the contempo beige and cream urban-country decor and the cuisine, with homemade bread (check out the walnut and golden-raisins version) and high-class pasta taking center stage. A plate of perfect, al dente paccheri with calamari and cime di rapa (turnip tops) sums up the chef's tasty southern-Italian approach, but there are plenty of non-carb options, too, from antipasti like a simple but fresh tuna tartare to the meat or fish main courses. The owners previously worked at Gusto, and the influence of that Roman mold-breaker is clear in the mix of strong design, creative but unfussy Italian cuisine, and reasonable prices (which extend to remarkably honest markups on wine). Service is simpatico, and the small al fresco seating area in the piazza is a delight on a summer evening (it's not undiscovered, though, so book ahead if you're angling for an outside table).
Open daily 12:30 pm to midnight.

The use of beacon technology has been fast-growing among retailers who use the smartphone function to push special offers and information to consumers as they wander through their stores. But now, other industries, especially travel, are experimenting with the technology to convey information and boost loyalty programs.
Brands are hoping their use of the new tech will attract Millennials and other digitally-connected consumers who are open to sharing data in return for a more personalized experience.
Marriott is currently testing beacons in its hotels to push deals for nearby retailers as well as in-hotel discounts to loyalty club members who have the brand's app open on the premises. According to Adweek, members could get offers for such things as "test drives of Porsche or Lamborghini cars and a discounted rate at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai" on their mobile devices.
"(We're) taking aim at the next generation traveler and really making sure we're addressing their needs," Karin Timpone, global marketing officer for Marriott, told USA Today. "They like the instant gratification and encouragement along the way while they earn points."Continue reading...

Flying over Omaha at 37,000 feet en route to a conference in Denver, I'm reflecting on the passing of the great Massimo Vignelli this week, and my favorite piece of Vignelli design. Coincidentally, it is a poster about Denver. Designed to promote Denver as a candidate city for the 1976 Winter Olympics, this artifact for me is a telling signature of the man that we are still mourning.
The poster expresses a simple and telegraphic logic, it is coldly precise, yet uplifting. Five rings, three rows, two columns, two colors, two rules, and Helvetica—in two sizes. Designed for a city that ultimately rejected the winter games awarded to it in 1972 amidst contested debates over infrastructure, funding and environmental impact, Vignelli's poster, in contrast, implies a cool order and uniformity that was his best intention for Denver. It is absent of indecision, friction or noise. The man and his design are inseparable.Continue reading...

.@GovBrewer, please say no to discrimination. Veto #SB1062. #LoveIsLove http://t.co/2kFqvM3Eq5 #AZ
A growing firestorm fueled by social media is brewing around Arizona's proposed bill SB 1062, which would permit businesses to refuse service on religious grounds, a measure activists and a growing list of corporations see as "state-sanctioned discrimination" against gays.
Companies from AT&T and Apple to Marriott, Delta and American Airlines, along with Arizona's two Republican US Senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake, are now taking a stand and asking Gov. Jan Brewer to veto the bill. The request from Apple comes as it prepares to open a new sapphire glass manufacturing plant in Mesa which would create about 700 full-time jobs and join its five stores already in Arizona.
Bill SB1062 is similar to measures proposed in Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Mississippi and Kansas in response to the growing gay marriage movement that 17 states, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized.
Reaction against the proposed bill is growing so strong that the measure passed last week is prompting tourists to cancel travel plans and has companies threatening to relocate.

Wachovia Center
Attendance: 15,817
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jameer Nelson scored 22 points and dished out 10 assists, and seven Orlando players scored in double-figures to help the Magic rout the 76ers, 126-105, at Wachovia Center.
Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter each added 19 points for the Magic, who have won eight of 11 overall and six straight regular season games over the Sixers, whom the team beat in the first round of last year's Eastern Conference playoffs.
Matt Barnes contributed 16 points, and Dwight Howard had 14 points. J.J. Redick recorded 11 points, and Mickael Pietrus 10 to complete the balanced attack, as Orlando shot a blistering 58.4 percent from the field and 65.2 percent from three-point range.
"Obviously we shot the ball very well, and this game came down to who made shots," said Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. "I don't think either team put much effort in defensively quite honestly. It was pretty easy for both teams to get shots and we shot better than they did."
Jrue Holiday posted a career-high 23 points -- 15 in the first quarter -- for the Sixers, who were coming off a 1-3 road trip. Andre Iguodala added 19, while Thaddeus Young had 17 in a losing cause.
"We lost the passion to compete," said 76ers head coach Eddie Jordan. "We were dominated, but we have to learn how to compete and keep our chin up. This team hasn't learned that, and it's a lack of leadership in that room (the locker room). The coaches are trying -- believe me."
Lou Williams scored 13 points and dished out seven assists, and Samuel Dalembert had 12 points and 11 boards for Philadelphia.
Holiday matched his career-high in points in the first quarter with 15, as the Sixers took a 36-35 lead after 12 minutes. But the Magic went in front by a 68-61 margin at halftime.
Orlando then dominated Philadelphia in the third quarter, pulling away for good.
A Barnes three-pointer in the early moments had the visitors ahead by 10, 73-63, and a Lewis triple later put the Magic ahead by a score of 94-79 with just over three minutes to go.
After Marreese Speights drilled a shot for Philadelphia, Orlando scored eight straight points to end the quarter. Nelson's three capped a period where the Magic went 11-of-16 from the field, giving the team a commanding 102-81 advantage heading to the fourth.
Orlando led by as many as 28 in the final period.

Don't Make Darks Souls 2 with an Easy Mode
As a Demon's Souls and Dark Souls fan, I do not want to see the series go to the dogs by adding in an easy mode. It will take away from the Soul's experience, and put a figurative nail in the casket. I have spent over $120.00 and over 200 hours on these games and want it to remain just as difficult and enjoyable as the others. Please digitally sign this petition and make Bandai keep the game the same Souls we love, hate, and rage over.

"I read with interest the news that Australian Health Insurance provider Medibank had secured Counselling service contracts with ACC, and observed the angst of the NZ Counselling spokespeople in response.
Until routine client outcome measurement becomes an established feature in the provision of state-funded Counselling services, it won't matter who is managing the contracts – the result will simply be what it has always been – millions of dollars being spent on a service for which no-one knows that actual efficacy of the service being provided.
The fact that the ACC Counselling service has returned to open-ended sessions (i.e. no limit), flies in the face of 70 years of Counselling Outcome Research, which shows that most clinically significant change occurs within the first 4 – 7 sessions.
It is a positive move that clients can now choose their own service provider, however I'm unsure as to whether the service provider still has to be registered with ACC, which would negate the client choice if service provider ACC registration was still required.
Until ACC formally introduce routine client outcome measurement for Counselling, and start basing their service provider decisions on evidence, not myth and popular opinion, my Auckland-based practice won't be going anywhere near ACC as a service provider".

Customer reviews for the 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 Backpack
Excellent buy!
"I really hate to give a product 5 stars in every category, but this backpack rates them, at least for me.
I've been humping stuff around various places in Afghanistan for a number of months now, and this backpack has stood up to the abuse so far. The primary things important to me are durability and functionality. Will the straps start to rip off if I cram this thing as full as I possibly can? Not so far. And its amazing how much stuff can fit in all the pockets. Agree with the comments about needing more external connection points, and maybe some more internal ones as well.
At first I was a bit put off by the weight of the pack, but given how much much it can hold and how durable it is, I can understand why. The hip straps really help distribute the load.
Tip: there is a thin pocket that runs the full length of the pack, sitting just behind the wearer's back. Its easy to miss."
"First off, let me say this bag is leaps and bounds beyond anything within $100 of it's cost. DBT makes a similar bag at the tune of $375, it's not any better. I purchased this bag to replace my torn 3-day bag from a competitor (the fifth such replacement from as many different manufacturers). In several trips as a civilian PSD Medic to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Haiti, I have gone through countless medical bags. Being a civilian, I have had not only the benefit of being allowed to choose whatever equipment I favor but having a reasonable budget to get what I want. I use a CamelBak - MedBak insert that fits perfectly in this pack. There is also room for items that are ordinarily a problem to pack (C-collars, E&E kit, extra magazines, Etc.). What I appreciate most of all is the diversity of zippered pouch configuration. This allows me to set up each compartment how I wish with less of a need to attach pouches to the outside. I would have likes more loop fastener surfaces but that being my only complaint, it's a good bag!"

Bought this for camping/hiking and carry-on travel in place of a kelty redwing 50 (m/l) since the kelty is over the magical 45 linear inches...this bag is spot-on for that requirement and should be a great bag for travel up to a week (depending on season).

Great Travel EDC bag
March 28, 2014
Purchased this bag to be my EDC bag when working overseas.
Plenty of storage space for 2 laptops, power cables, power adapters, mice, mouse pads, spare batteries, white board markers...
Essentially my complete office in a bag. Expanded the main pouch out to even carry 3 days of clothes as I had to travel between sites.
Worked well in the wet weather of Scotland, no complaints...
Purchased it with a couple of VTAC pouches to help keep things organized.
Pros:Lots of space. Fit all my kit plus 3 days of clothes. Can put an iPad (in a padded carrier) in the water pouch behind your backplate. Or important docs that you need easy access....Cons:A little stiff. Have to open up everything to get in to the main pouch. |

Well designed pack.
March 16, 2014
I own three 5.11 RUSH backpacks. One is a RUSH 12 and the other two are RUSH 72's. Use two of them not so much as backpack for hiking or military, but more as sling packs for fishing trips. The 12 is idea for overnight while the 72 has plenty of room for 3-4 days of essential clothing. Picked up the third 72 for work and use it is as a quick grab bag for essentials to get me started on crime scene processing tasks. Wish 5.11 would design a slightly a pack slightly smaller than the 72 about the same size as the 24 with the same side and top rear pockets and the expandable rear pouch as the 72. They can scrap the sunglass pocket and all the little pencil pockets in the administration flap. Some guys might have use for all those little pockets for gizmos and gadgets, but my guess is that most guys use the larger packs to haul gear and would welcome large storage pockets like on the 72. I am well satisfied with the construction of my packs and expect to get many years of good use from them. Zippers are flawless and wearing them as backpacks, they are quite comfortable and easy to adjust. I recommend them to those that have use for a pack of these designs.
Pros:Well made, great zippers, comfortable worn as a backpack. Overall a great pack for the price.Cons:Redesign the pockets on the larger packs. Eliminate the sunglass, pencil and small gadget pockets and redesign the RUSH 24 pockets to be similar to that of the 72. The 12 could use some thin side pockets like on the present 24. |

Perfect all-around bag
November 20, 2013
I bought this bag to replace a much cheaper 3-day assault pack from LA police gear that ripped. I was extremely satisfied with customer service in switching out my bag without problems. I researched this pack and I could only find positive feedback. I decided to upgrade to the 72-hour pack. It came in a timely manner and there were no issues with it arriving. I got the sandstone color and I love it. The pack is exactly what I wanted and the quality is superior. I have an Eberlestock G4 pack and this is equally if not better quality. I am very satisfied with this pack. It will work perfectly for SWAT, weekend getaways, or extraditions. There is plenty of room and the pockets/compartments are great. The shovel pack is perfect and expands to fit the unexpected last minute items.

The Commission said it was not satisfied with the explanation furnished by the AAP leader
The Election Commission has pulled up Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal for violating the provisions of the model code of conduct that banned appeal for votes based on religion, and warned him to be more careful during the election campaigns in the future.
It was acting on the complaint of BJP leader Harish Khurana, who alleged that Mr. Kejriwal, during the campaign for the December 4, 2013, Delhi Assembly poll, distributed pamphlets that contained appeal on religious grounds to the electors in violation of poll code.
The Commission – Chief Election Commissioner V.S. Sampath and Election Commissioners H.S. Brahma and S.N.A. Zaidi – which considered the issue and also the reply given by the Delhi CM stated that: "Whereas, notwithstanding the averments made by you to justify the contents of the pamphlets, the fact remains that you have made an appeal in that pamphlet to a particular religious community for securing votes in favour of your party, which, the Commission considers, is violation of sub para (3) of Para I of model code of conduct.."
"..the Commission is not satisfied with the explanation furnished by you.."
and "…the Commission hereby conveys its concern, and cautions you to be more careful in the election campaigns of your party in future".
Earlier, the EC took serious view of Mr. Kejriwal's decision to send the reply, signed by AAP national secretary Pankaj Kumar Gupta, and he was directed to send the reply under his own signature. The direction was complied with by the CM.
In his reply, Mr. Kejriwal denied that he had violated the poll code and sought to justify that the contents of the pamphlets were based on the Justice Sachhar Committee report of 2006, Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission's report and on the facts said to be established by various judicial pronouncements.
He told the Commission that the contents of the pamphlet, when read as a whole, would show that his whole emphasis was to address issues concerning the common citizens at an individual, group, locality, constituency and community level, as a part of its philosophy of democratic decentralization and the pamphlet was part of the exercise on maintenance and promotion of communal harmony and unity and had not been made with a view to creating any hatred or tension between different communities.
However, the Commission rejected his arguments.
In his Hindi pamphlet, the AAP leader had said: "Delhi's Muslims should support AAP in the forthcoming polls. We (AAP) are not seeking votes for power or money but for rooting out corruption from the system and building a corruption-free India where people belonging to all religions can live in peace. BJP is a communal party. Till now the Muslims did not have any alternative, but now they have an honest alternative in the form of AAP. We appeal to the Muslim voters of Delhi to back our endeavour for clean politics and not fall into the trap in which they have been falling for the past 65 years."

Knowledge is obsolete, so now what?: Pavan Arora at TEDxFoggyBottom. Education Ted Talks. Dan Ariely on the Truth About Dishonesty, Animated. By Maria Popova "It's all about rationalization."
From the fantastic RSA Animate series comes an illustrated distillation of behavioral economist Dan Ariely's new book, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone — Especially Ourselves, which you might recall. Here, Ariely highlights some of the fascinating psychological mechanisms that steer our moral compass — and often do so in directions different from our self-conception as righteous people — explaining everything from why we cheat on our diets to how the world ended up in a massive financial crisis, and offering lab-tested behavioral insights on what we can do about it all. If you think about the whole financial crisis, we've taken people and we've put them in situations which basically are guaranteed to blind or, at least, to distort their vision. And we expect people to overcome that. Renny Gleeson: 404, the story of a page not found. 'This Is Water': Complete Audio of David Foster Wallace's Kenyon Graduation Speech (2005)

Skip Maine state header navigation
For Immediate
Release November 4, 2002 Contact: Dan A. Gwadosky 207-626-8400 Secretary Gwadosky to Visit Polling Sites Election Day Augusta--On November 5th Secretary of State Dan A. Gwadosky will continue his Election Day tradition of visiting a number of polling places to thank election workers for their dedication in conducting Maine's elections. Secretary Gwadosky will personally thank election workers throughout the day at 15 polling places across the state. He will also be supporting the Promote the Vote activities sponsored by his office. "I look forward to visiting the polling places on Election Day," stated Secretary Gwadosky. "It provides me with an opportunity to meet with and thank the local election officials for their dedication in conducting Maine's elections." One of the activities sponsored by the Promote the Vote Committee organized by Secretary Gwadosky is the "I Voted Today !" stickers that will be distributed on a voluntary basis by many municipalities at their polling places. The Maine Rotary Clubs of District 7790 have been very supportive of this program and have provided a generous contribution to help defray some of the cost of the stickers.

John Buck Rumors
Central Notes: Phillips, Axford, Joba, Buck
Here's the latest news from both the NL and AL Central divisions…
- The Brandon Phillips trade rumors may have temporarily stopped, though Reds president/CEO Bob Castellini left the door slightly open when talking to reporters today (including MLB.com's Mark Sheldon and the Cincinnati Enquirer's John Fay). "Brandon is part of the team, boys," Castellini said. "Walt [GM Walt Jocketty] was just exploring. You have to understand what he's up against. He's got to look around. Brandon Phillips is an integral part of this franchise….But you never say never."
- The Cubs and John Axford share a mutual interest in each other, Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com reports. Axford would get a chance to compete for the Cubs' closing job, though the right-hander seemingly has plenty of opportunities around the league, with a reported 14 teams checking in following his non-tender from the Cardinals.
- The Cubs and Royals are two of the teams who have shown interest in Joba Chamberlain, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News tweets. No signing seems to be imminent for either team, however. Chamberlain is another relief arm who has drawn significant attention on the open market, as he may be seen as a reclamation candidate after some tough seasons with the Yankees.
- The Twins have spoken to John Buck's agent, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports, and a source tells Berardino that Buck is Minnesota's top target amongst available catchers. It isn't clear how interested in the Twins are, however, given that Josmil Pinto is still the club's preferred choice to take over the everyday catching job now that Joe Mauer has been moved to first base.
- Carl Pavano talked with Berardino about his comeback attempt from a freak snow-shoveling accident that left him with a ruptured spleen and sidelined the veteran righty for the entire 2013 season. Pavano said the Twins haven't contacted him about a return: "I haven't really talked to them. I don't know if that would be a good fit anyway. I think we're in different places. They need those younger guys in their rotation."

Twins Notes: Morneau, Buck, Arbitration, Hughes
Justin Morneau sounded certain in stating that he will one day return to the Twins in some capacity but acknowledged that it's not likely to be in 2014, writes Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Said Morneau: "There's no saying I won't be back in the future. You never know what the opportunity is going to be, whether it's as a player, later, or as a coach, or someone who comes down to spring training. Whatever it is, it's a different chapter, but [Minnesota] is something that will stick with me forever." Morneau made his first Twin Cities public appearance since being traded over the weekend, signing autographs and thanking fans for donating to a drive that raised more than 3,000 coats for the Salvation Army. Morneau told Miller that he's spoken recently with longtime teammate and friend Michael Cuddyer, who put in a good word for the Rockies. More on the Twins…
- The Twins have asked their newest acquisition, Ricky Nolasco, about his former catcher John Buck, tweets Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Twins have reportedly moved on from the Jarrod Saltalamacchia sweepstakes and will deploy Josmil Pinto as their primary catcher in 2014.
- Though Minnesota had just three arbitration eligible players this offseason (all of whom were tendered contracts), they could have as many as nine next winter, writes Berardino. Berardino looks at the potential arbitration classes for the next three offseasons, noting of course that not every player included on his lists will accumulate the necessary service time to reach arbitration.
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweeted yesterday that age was a big factor for the Twins in signing Phil Hughes to a surprising three-year, $24MM contract. The Twins are hopeful that they can fix Hughes up and thereby make him an important piece of improved teams in 2015-16 while he's still in his prime years.
- The Twins were "a close second" in the bidding for A.J. Pierzynski, according to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune (on Twitter). Pierzynski agreed to a one-year, $8.25MM contract with the Red Sox earlier today.

Phillies Notes: Free Agency, Morse, Ruiz, Buck
Here's the latest from the City of Brotherly Love…
- The Phillies intend to avoid more expensive free agents like Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo and Brian McCann in favor of "mid-level" free agents, CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury reports. The Phillies are wary of how much it would cost to sign Nelson Cruz, Carlos Beltran or Curtis Granderson even though they like all three players.
- Also from Salisbury, the Phillies have discussed signing Franklin Gutierrez, Marlon Byrd, Joaquin Benoit, Joe Smith and Bronson Arroyo.
- GM Ruben Amaro told reporters (including Salisbury) that the team could wait to see what kind of a market there is for Roy Halladay's services before deciding whether or not to pursue the former Cy Young Award winner. "We're keeping our eyes open on him. We're not sure how the market is going to develop for him. But we haven't ruled out bringing him back," Amaro said.
- The Phillies have "long-standing interest" in Mike Morse and see Morse as "a potential Jayson Werth-like late bloomer," CSNPhilly.com's Corey Seidman writes. Despite this interest, Morse could just be a backup plan for the Phillies if they can't sign a more higher-profile hitter.
- Carlos Ruiz could make a decision about his next contract soon, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports (Twitter link). We heard earlier this week that the Phillies wanted a quick decision from Ruiz so they could figure out their catching situation.
- If Ruiz doesn't re-sign, Morosi tweets that John Buck could be a more realistic backup plan for the Phillies than A.J. Pierzynski. Not only would Buck be cheaper, Philadelphia is in need of right-handed bats.
- Trading Domonic Brown and bringing back Ryan Madson are two of the topics addressed by MLB.com's Todd Zolecki as part of a Phillies-centric reader mailbag.

Pirates Acquire Marlon Byrd And John Buck
WEDNESDAY, 5:34pm: Black is in fact the PTBNL in the deal, Rosenthal tweets.
WEDNESDAY, 5:09pm: Triple-A reliever Vic Black is a strong possibility to be the PTBNL heading from the Pirates to the Mets, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). Black is currently on waivers, but if he is the PTBNL, the Pirates can just pull him back and send him to the Mets at the end of the season rather than right away (Twitter links). In 46 and 2/3 Triple-A innings this season, Black owns a 2.51 ERA with 63 Ks and 21 BBs.
Baseball America rated Black as the Bucs' 16th best prospect heading into this season. Black, who was drafted 49th overall by the Pirates in 2009, began his pro career as a starter but was plagued by control issues and converted to a reliever in 2011. BA writes that if he can get his walks under control, he has the stuff close in the majors.
8:33am: The Mets also sent the Pirates $250K in the trade, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link). That would mean the Pirates are paying just under $1MM — roughly $980K — for Byrd and Buck over the remainder of the season.
TUESDAY: The Pirates are likely headed for their first playoff berth since 1992, and they made sure to bolster their roster accordingly by acquiring Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the Mets for minor league second baseman Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later. Both teams have announced the trade.
Earlier today, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reported that in the wake of Matt Harvey's injury, the Mets were exploring trade options and had placed five players on waivers, including Byrd, Buck and Pedro Feliciano. Byrd (pictured on the right) was claimed by an unnamed NL team shortly thereafter, which clearly was the Pirates. It's unclear whether Buck cleared waivers or was also claimed by the Pirates following a season-ending injury to backup catcher Michael McKenry.
Byrd, who turns 36 on Friday, is having a surprising career year despite his age. In 464 plate appearances, he's batting .285/.330/.518. His 21 homers and 136 OPS+ are both career-bests. Byrd is no longer a regular center fielder (just two games there in 2013), but his defense in right field grades out to a solid +6.6 UZR/150, and The Fielding Bible pegs him at nine runs saved. Pirates right fielders have batted just .245/.307/.368 this season, and their right field defense ranks 24th in baseball, according to UZR, so Byrd's bat and solid glove will be welcome additions in the Steel City.
Byrd is also owed just $130K for the remainder of the season before he hits free agency, so he's an affordable upgrade for the Pirates, financially speaking. Given that salary, it's a surprise to see that the Reds didn't place a claim to block the Pirates from acquiring him. Cincinnati is just 3.5 games out of first in the NL Central while the Pirates are a half-game back of the Cardinals. All three NL Central teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, but the Reds and Pirates would face each other in the one-game Wild Card playoff.
Buck, 33, has cooled off considerably following a meteoric start that saw him club 10 homers in his first 25 games (23 starts). Since May 1, he's hitting just .206/.290/.302 with six homers, and he's owed $1.1MM. However, with McKenry out for the season following surgery to repair a torn meniscus, his pop and veteran leadership should be welcome additions for Pittsburgh. Buck has also caught a strong 30 percent of potential base-stealers.
Herrera, 19, is having a strong season at Class-A West Virgina. The Colombian infielder is hitting .265/.330/.421 with 11 homers and 11 stolen bases in 479 plate appearances. Herrera ranked as the No. 20 prospect in the Pirates system prior to the season, according to Baseball America, and his solid play in 2013 has him currently ranked 11th among Pirates prospects by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo.
In their scouting report, BA noted that Herrera has plus speed and surprising power for someone of his size (he's listed as 5'10" and 150 pounds) with the ability to hit the ball to all fields. BA feels that his lack of arm strength will limit him to second base, and Mayo agrees. Mayo adds that Herrera had no problem adjusting to the game after coming to the United States, and he projects an above-average hitter and well-above average runner. Mayo also ranked Herrera as the ninth-best second base prospect in all of minor league baseball.
ESPN's Adam Rubin was the first to report that Byrd and Buck were headed to Pittsburgh (on Twitter), and MLB.com's Anthony DiComo was the first to break that the Pirates were giving up Herrera and a PTBNL (also on Twitter).

Reactions To The Marlon Byrd Trade
Here are a handful of odds and ends from this afternoon's trade between the Mets and Pirates, in which the Bucs received outfielder Marlon Byrd, catcher John Buck and cash in return for second base prospect Dilson Herrera and a PTBNL.
- In addition to putting in a waiver claim on Byrd, the Pirates also claimed Buck before the trade, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York writes (on Twitter).
- The player to be named the Mets are set to receive will be a "solid" one, and that could make an already-strong trade even better for New York, says ESPN's Keith Law (Insider-only). But Law also calls the trade a "truly all-in move" from the Pirates' perspective, noting that Byrd represents an enormous upgrade over the Bucs' right fielders, who have been dreadful this year.
- Byrd is "a good get" for the Pirates, Fangraphs' Jeff Sullivan writes. Sullivan notes that, based on what we knew entering the season, it would have been strange to learn that the Pirates were still looking for upgrades in late August, and just as strange that the aging Marlon Byrd would constitute an upgrade.
- In Herrera, the Mets may be getting an "offensive-oriented second baseman," Matt Eddy of Baseball America writes. Eddy also notes that Herrera could hit for decent power to go with a good on-base percentage, and that appears likely to stick at second base.
- They may have just traded him, but the Mets may have interest in pursuing Byrd again when he becomes a free agent this winter, Andy Martino of New York Daily News writes (on Twitter).
- Martino also tweets that the Mets are unlikely to make any more trades this month.

Mets Likely To Make Late August Trades
One day after learning that ace Matt Harvey has a torn UCL in his right elbow, ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin reports that the Mets are poised to be active on the trade front in the final days of August. According to Rubin, five players have been placed on revocable trade waivers, and at least one trade is likely in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Marlon Byrd, John Buck and Pedro Feliciano are three of the players to hit waivers, and the Mets have already recalled lefty Robert Carson, catcher Anthony Recker and outfielder Matt den Dekker from Triple-A Las Vegas. Obviously, that trio of minor leaguers could serve as replacements for the three known players on waivers.
Byrd, who turns 36 on Friday, is having a surprising career year despite his age. He drew significant interest prior to the July 31 non-waiver deadline, but the Mets opted to hang onto him. In 464 plate appearances, he's batting .285/.330/.518. His 21 homers and 136 OPS+ are both career-bests. Byrd is no longer a regular center fielder (just two games there in 2013), but his defense in right field grades out to a solid +6.6 UZR/150, and The Fielding Bible pegs him at nine runs saved. As Rubin notes, just $130K remains on Byrd's 2013 salary, making him a highly affordable trade chip.
Buck, 33, has cooled off considerably following a meteoric start that saw him club 10 homers in his first 25 games (23 starts). Since May 1, he's hitting just .206/.290/.302 with six homers, limiting his value. However, Travis d'Arnaud is now drawing the majority of the time behind the plate, so the Mets would likely welcome the opportunity to clear the remaining $1.1MM of Buck's salary.
Feliciano, 37, returned to the Majors for the first time since 2010 on Aug. 2 and has allowed a pair of runs in 5 1/3 innings since. His health woes in recent years likely leave him without high trade value, but he'd be a nice alternative to Javier Lopez, whom the Giants reportedly aren't likely to trade even though he's been claimed on waivers. Opposing lefties are just 3-for-17 against Feliciano this season, and all four of his strikeouts have come against left-handed batters.
Rubin also writes that in addition to Byrd, Buck and Feliciano, the Mets are considering dealing Major League talent that is under control beyond the 2013 season.

Mets Notes: Byrdak, Collins, Trade Chips
It's been 731 days since the Mets traded Carlos Beltran to the Giants in exchange for Zack Wheeler, and while that trade looks brilliant now, it also represents the last July trade that involved the Amazin's. Here's more on New York's National League club…
- Tim Byrdak's contract contains a clause that allows him to leave the Mets should another team offer him a Major League roster spot, MLBTR has learned. After being contacted by an interested team, the Mets would have 48 hours to add Byrdak to their own big league roster. If they chose not to do so, Byrdak would be free to join the new team, and the Mets would receive no compensation. The clause is similar to the one that allowed Jason Grilli to leave the Phillies and join the Pirates in 2011. Byrdak currently has a 2.45 ERA and 11-to-3 K/BB ratio in 11 innings at High-A St. Lucie as he works his way back from shoulder and knee surgeries in late 2012.
- A Mets executive told Mike Puma of the New York Post that he would be surprised if manager Terry Collins were replaced after the season. The Mets are happy with the job that Collins has done, and the executive says the team is doing a good job of "sprinting to the finish line" with Collins at the helm (Twitter links). Collins still only under contract through the 2013 season.
- Puma's colleague, Joel Sherman, tweets that left-handed relief is in such high demand, the Mets actually received calls checking in on how Byrdak and Pedro Feliciano were progressing in their rehab.
- Nothing has changed on the Marlon Byrd and Bobby Parnell front, according to Sherman (on Twitter). The Mets have received nibbles on both, but not nearly enough to make a deal likely.
- The Mets are seeking a "Wheeler type" top prospect in exchange for Parnell, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter). Given that exborbitant price tag, it's no surprise that interest hasn't picked up much.
- Sherman adds that the Mets had hoped to see interest in Daniel Murphy, John Buck and Eric Young Jr., but to this point they haven't received calls on that group. As such, they're likely to simply try to win as many games as they can with the current group in the season's second half.

Quick Hits: Mets, Harang
The Tidewater Mets may just be the best team you've never heard of, writes Mark Bowman of MLB.com. With B.J. Upton and David Wright manning the left side of the infield, Ryan Zimmerman was forced to split time at second (with Mark Reynolds), and Justin Upton was relegated to bench duty. Of course, those Mets were a high school travel club. Now, through a combination of the draft, extensions, free agency, and trade, all of those players (excluding Reynolds) are stars on their respective National League East clubs.
- The New York Mets could be buyers at the trade deadline whether or not the club is in contention, writes Ken Davidoff of the New York Post. With Davidoff expecting an active in-season trade market, he says that the Mets could target big bats such as Carlos Gonzalez, Andre Ethier, Chase Headley, Giancarlo Stanton, Carl Crawford, Josh Willingham, and Alfonso Soriano. As this outfielder-heavy list suggests, and MLBTR noted earlier today, the Mets appear to be interested in acquiring a premier outfielder.
- One way or another, Mets fans should prepare for life without a hot-hitting John Buck, writes Daniel Nelson of MetsmerizedOnline.com. If the backstop fails to cool off and return to his historical levels, Nelson believes that the club will likely try to flip him for young talent.
- Aaron Harang threw 180 innings last year, logging a 3.61 ERA. In 2011, he tossed 170 innings with a 3.64 ERA. Yet the Rockies dumped him to the Mariners right after he was offloaded by the Dodgers. The reason is simple, according to Dave Cameron of U.S.S. Mariner: Harang's worsening walk and strikeout rates make him "basically a worse version of Jon Garland." Of course, Garland joined the Rockies when Seattle let him walk rather than promising a rotation spot.
- Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik addressed the Harang trade, saying that the deal was motivated in large part by Erasmo Ramirez's health issues, tweets Shannon Drayer of ESPN Radio Seattle. The Seattle GM also noted that, if the 34-year-old Harang is not yet ready to start, he will work out of the bullpen until another starter moves there permanently, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com and Drayer. (Twitter links.)
Quick Hits: Buck, Borbon, Astros, Mets, A's
After the R.A. Dickey trade, Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said the inclusion of John Buck was needed because his club needed to shed the catcher's $6MM salary. However, Mets assistant GM John Ricco told Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com that Buck was part of the trade package from the beginning and not a late throw-in just even out money in the deal. Buck is off to a hot start for the 2013 season and if he continues to perform, he'll be a solid contributor for the Mets this season. Here's more from around baseball..
- While it's still very preliminary, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes (on Twitter) says that the qualifying offer for the 2013-14 offseason should be right around $14MM. This past offseason, the qualifying offer was worth a little less at $13.3MM.
- Julio Borbon could be a worthwhile pickup for the Astros and Mets in the opinion of Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter link). Borbon was designated for assignment by the Rangers earlier this evening.
- In the wake of Josh Reddick's injury, A's skipper Bob Melvin says he is especially grateful for the depth that the club's front office has put in place, tweets Jane Lee of MLB.com.

NL Notes: Lohse, Cardinals, Mets
Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio predicts Kyle Lohse will sign with either the Brewers or Rangers as one of five moves which will happen this spring (Insider subscription required). Bowden also sees extensions for Adam Wainwright and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. Here's the other Senior Circuit news and notes from the first Sunday of Spring Training:
- Count the Phillies out as suitors for Lohse as GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is prepared to go with the staff he has in camp, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.
- Lohse will only become of interest to the Cardinals if their rotation candidates aren't panning out during Spring Training, writes CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman in a piece outlining six reasons why the Redbirds remain playoff contenders.
- One reason for the Cardinals making the postseason in three of the last four years is being ranked as one of the NL's top four teams in terms of innings pitched by the starting rotation, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Goold notes this year's rotation is set to include four starters, beyond Wainwright, who combined have just one 190-inning season.
- The Mets could use catcher John Buck as trade bait once they promote Travis d'Arnaud in the opinion of ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin, who cites the precedent of when David Wright took over at third base.
- Bill Madden of the New York Daily News cautions the Mets to be prudent with their newfound financial flexibility if they dive into next year's free agent outfield pool. Madden lists Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo, and Hunter Pence (all ranked in the top ten of MLBTR's 2014 Free Agent Power Rankings) as possible targets.

Govt opens 24 DPCs in four blocks
Paddy harvest, now under way in the four blocks of the district, will result in good yield, according to officials in the agriculture department. On an average, 7.5 tonne to 8.5 tonne per hectare is expected, which is considered 'good' yield.
A total of 10,687 hectares were covered in Madurai west, Madurai east, Vadipatti and Alanganallur blocks in the district, which are double crop areas. Initially, there were hiccups and apprehensions among small and marginal farmers, but as days passed, the adequate water storage in reservoirs led to brisk farming.
Though the farmers expected more price for the yield, the government had fixed Rs.14.10 per kilogram of paddy (fine grain variety) and Rs.13.60 per kg for the next quality.
A few days ago, Minister for Cooperation 'Sellur' K. Raju opened a Direct Procurement Centre at Kulamangalam and appealed to the agriculturalists to make use of the DPCs.
According to officials, Collector L. Subramanian had given a blanket permission to the officials to open DPCs wherever required.
"After examining the feasibility, they would be opened for the benefit of farmers," they added.
Joint Director (Agriculture) Jayasingh Gnandurai said as there was no farming operation last season, the yield would be good now.
