Atlanta Braves Rumors
East Notes: Hart, Hardy, Belisario
John Hart had to be persuaded to take over the Braves GM job, but team president John Schuerholz is excited about the work Hart and likely successor John Coppolella have done so far, Tyler Kepner of the New York Times writes. "The combination of John Hart and John Coppolella has been dynamic, absolutely dynamic," says Schuerholz. "The work those two have done, in tandem, has been sensational." This offseason, Hart and Coppolella have traded Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Evan Gattis in an attempt to add young talent. The timing was right for the Braves to re-tool, Hart says. "The Nationals are in their perfect window right now. The Marlins are getting better. If you're going to take, if you will, sort of a regroup year, this would be a good one."
- When J.J. Hardy traded power to remain in the everyday lineup last season, he may have hurt his earning potential. Hardy is unsure if he would have re-signed with the Orioles had he not dealt with a painful back injury last season, writes Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun. Baltimore inked Hardy to a three-year, $40MM extension during the playoffs last year. Hardy was aware of the trials suffered by Stephen Drew and former teammate Nelson Cruz in the previous offseason. Qualifying offers to both players left clubs wary about signing them. Hardy opted to forgo the experience entirely, although he also says he's happy in Baltimore.
- Rays non-roster invitee Ronald Belisario injured himself climbing out of a pool earlier in the winter, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The reliever fractured his non-throwing shoulder prior to signing with the Rays a month ago. He didn't have the injury checked out until he reported to camp. Belisario is on a split contract that would pay $1.5MM if he makes the team. Since he won't be on the field for at least two weeks, his chances of breaking camp with the team look small. This injury probably explains why his deal with the Blue Jays fell through.

NL Notes: Upton, Brewers, Dodgers
Braves center fielder Melvin Upton (long known as B.J.) will miss the start of the season with inflammation in his left foot, the club announced. He is not expected to resume baseball activities until early April, per the release. Needless to say, these circumstances likely wipe out any remaining possibility of a spring trade of Upton and the three years and $46.35MM left on his deal. The club is expected to allow in-house options such as Eury Perez, Eric Young Jr., Zoilo Almonte, and Todd Cunningham to compete for the job in camp, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes.
More from the National League:
- With Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez expected to retire after the season, Milwaukee will need to implement their succession plan, as MLB.com's Adam McCalvy writes. The need for a replacement is not a surprise to the club, but that doesn't mean it has an immediately attractive option. While Nick Delmonico had been viewed as a strong possibility when he was acquired in 2013, his fallout with the team and subsequent release left a gap. A weak free agent class limits that avenue. And internally, the most plausible candidates appear to be waiver claimee Luis Jimenez and shortstop prospects Hector Gomez and Luis Sardinas.
- The remade Dodgers front office is acutely aware of the impact of injuries on team performance, writes Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register. While the club invested in several oft-injured arms over the offseason, they did so with an equal appreciation for the risk and the upside, in the words of president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. The Los Angeles brass is exploring means of blending data and biophysics to reduce the harm wrought by physical issues — both to inform personnel decisions and to protect players already under contract. "I would contend that any kind of advantage in injury prevention is significant," said Friedman.

NL East Notes: Turner, Moncada, Ichiro, Markakis
Shortstop Trea Turner is technically still a member of the Padres, but it's one of baseball's worst-kept "secrets" that he'll be headed to the Nationals in June as a player to be named later in the three-team Wil Myers trade once he's a year removed from being drafted. Turner tells Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune that while he does find the situation to be a bit weird, he's happy to have had a normal camp thus far. "A little bit. It's been awesome, though, because a lot of my teammates don't really care too much about it. They know the business side, and things like this can happen all the time, so I haven't been treated differently than I thought I would." Turner's agent, Jeff Berry of CAA Sports, called the situation "unconscionable" at the time of the trade but released the following statement yesterday, per Lin: "Trea has put this matter behind him and is focusing on his development and being a productive member of the Padres organization."
Some more notes pertaining to the NL East…
- Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. tells MLB.com's Todd Zolecki that his team was in contact with Yoan Moncada's agent, David Hastings, right up until the end when Moncada agreed to sign with the Red Sox this week. However, Amaro declined to get into specifics or even give a "yes" or "no" answer when asked by Zolecki if the Phillies submitted a formal offer for the highly touted 19-year-old.
- Ichiro Suzuki is appreciative of how accommodating the Marlins were during negotiations, and the positive feelings he got from the organization are a large reason that he signed there, writes Christina De Nicola of FOX Sports Florida. (For example, the Marlins have added facilities for Ichiro's Pilates machine in their Spring Training and regular season homes, said Ichiro through a translator.) He's also very accepting of his role as a fourth outfielder, which manager Mike Redmond said was a key component in the deal.
- New Braves right fielder Nick Markakis has been cleared for running and extensive workouts, reports David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Markakis won't be in the lineup for the early games in Spring Training and isn't sure if he'll be ready to compete come Opening Day, but he tells O'Brien that's absolutely his goal. Manager Fredi Gonzalez tells O'Brien that he is optimistic that Markakis, who signed a four-year, $44MM contract this winter, will be ready for the opener come April 6.

NL East Notes: Braves, Desmond, Jordan
Let's take a look at the latest from the National League East:
- Braves president of baseball operations John Hart says that the club never considered dealing closer Craig Kimbrel or other "core" pieces, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The purpose of the offseason was not to kick off a full-on rebuilding effort, said Hart. "Do a lot of things have to come together? Are we in a tough division? Yes, yes," he said. "But I don't think that anybody came in with the idea or even discussed that we were going to blow this thing up. We held onto our core guys all winter. We never discussed them. We're not looking to run up the white flag and not compete."
- Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond does not plan to discuss his contract situation this year, he tells MLB.com's Bill Ladson. "I owe it to everybody here to give my 100 percent concentration and that's what I'm going to do," Desmond said. "All the other stuff is really not going to be talked about. It's time to go." The organization's longest-tenured player says that the only thing he heard about a trade over the winter was a message from manager Matt Williams informing him that he was not going to be dealt.
- Righty Taylor Jordan is now largely a forgotten piece of the Nationals' rotation picture, but it wasn't long ago he was looked upon as a valuable young arm. After a tough and injury-plagued 2014, Jordan tells Tom Schad of the Washington Times that he feels healthy and ready to get back on track. Though he is no longer a plausible candidate for a starting role, the 26-year-old could put himself in line on the depth chart and might even turn into an interesting trade chip if he can thrive again in the upper minors.

NL East Notes: Utley, Brown, Saltalamacchia, Braves
Much has been made of trade rumors surrounding Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Jonathan Papelbon over the course of the winter, but Chase Utley's name has rarely come up due to the veteran's 10-and-5 rights that allow him to block trades. However, Utley told reporters today, including Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News, that he'd consider any trade scenario brought to him by GM Ruben Amaro (Twitter link). However, Utley doesn't sound like a man with an urge to get out of a Phillies uniform. "I want nothing more than to play for this organization as long as I can," he told the media.
More on the Phillies and the NL East…
- Domonic Brown tells MLB.com's Todd Zolecki that he's not sure exactly what the Phillies have in store for him, but he consider's last year's struggles a learning experience and believes he can post better numbers. Brown wouldn't comment on whether or not he was more comfortable playing right field now that Marlon Byrd has been traded to the Reds. As Zolecki notes, another poor showing from Brown could very well mean that the team will search elsewhere for corner outfielders in the future.
- Jarrod Saltalamacchia hasn't looked at defensive numbers from 2014, he tells Juan C. Rodriguez of the Miami Sun-Sentinel, because he already knows he didn't perform up to his expectations. Both Saltalamacchia and manager Marlins Mike Redmond spoke about how the catcher can improve in the second year of a three-year, $21MM pact with Miami. As Rodriguez points out, Saltalamacchia has graded out well in terms of pitch-framing before but ranked as the league's worst framer in 2014, according to Baseball Prospectus.
- Though the Braves are hopeful that right-hander Michael Foltynewicz, who was acquired in the Evan Gattis trade, is a starter in the long-term, the team hasn't ruled out opening the year with him in the bullpen, tweets MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Foltynewicz instantly became one of the Braves' best young arms in that trade, and using his 100mph fastball in the bullpen to get him acclimated to the Majors while going with a veteran such as Eric Stults in the fifth spot of the rotation may have some merit in the team's eyes.
- Speaking more in depth on those trades, president of baseball operations John Hart tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien that he doesn't consider the Braves' offseason moves to be a full-on rebuild. Rather, according to Hart, the team tried to walk a "parallel path" in which Major League pieces were subtracted to shore up the farm system while other MLB pieces were brought in to help the 2015 team. The Braves' core players appear to be on board with the moves, Hart adds, saying he's received "nothing but positive (feedback)" from them.

NL East Notes: Upton, Span, Howard, Marlins
If a rose by any other name still smells as sweet, does a baseball player by any other name peform better? B.J. Upton will answer that question this season as he will go by his given name of Melvin Upton Jr. and, as David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes, will have "Jr." on the back of his uniform for the first time in his professional career. Upton has struggled since his arrival in Atlanta after signing a five-year, $75.25MM free agent contract in November 2012 slashing .198/.279/.314 with 21 home runs and 61 RBIs in those two years. John Hart, Braves president of baseball operations, first tipped Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jeff Schultz to the name change (Twitter links). For those wondering, B.J. is short for Bossman Jr., his father's nickname.
In other news from the NL East:
- Nationals centerfielder Denard Span is one of the team's seven impending free agents and is looking forward to that opportunity, writes James Wagner of the Washington Post. "I've worked my whole career to get to this point, to be a free agent," Span said. "But at the same time, I'm concentrating on trying to do the best that I can to help this ball club win. I feel like if I do my job and we do our jobs collectively I'll get compensated and everything will fall into place." Wagner adds the Nationals have not approached Span about a contract extension.
- With the increasing likelihood of Ryan Howard opening the season in Philadelphia, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is making amends for the comments he made about the Phillies being better off without the first baseman, reports Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News. "Frankly, I apologized for those comments that I made that were public," said Amaro. "And I think he appreciated that. Other than that, I want to keep the conversation private. It was a good talk." Despite a willingness to eat a substantial portion of the $60MM remaining on Howard's contract, no market has developed for the 35-year-old.
- Speaking publicly for the first time since being dealt from the Yankees in December, recent Marlins addition Martin Prado told reporters, including Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald he "couldn't be happier when I found out I was going to play with [Giancarlo] Stanton and [Jose] Fernandez and young kids coming up. Very happy to be here. Couldn't be more excited. They have a good mix of young guys and veteran guys. I hope we can build a team around [Stanton] and take some pressure [off] him."
- The Marlins believe the signing of Ichiro Suzuki already is paying off and he hasn't even arrived from his native Japan yet, according to Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post. Over the weekend, President David Samson said at least 90 Marlins games will be televised in Japan. The 41-year-old won't be play every day, but the $2MM deal is already paying dividends for Miami.

AL Notes: Moncada, Price, Wilhelmsen
Yoan Moncada might be the best $100MM the Yankees can spend, Joel Sherman of the New York Post opines. Of course, it's a huge gamble to invest $60-$100MM in a player who might be two years away from the majors, but elite position players are now rare commodities on the free agent market. If Yankees evaluators truly believe that Moncada is the next coming of Robinson Cano, then Sherman says they should roll the dice. Here's more from the American League..
- David Price said that as far as he knows, there have been no discussions regarding an extension with the Tigers, according to Chris Iott of MLive.com (on Twitter). Price says that he won't close the door on negotiations on Opening Day, but he would prefer if the talk "dies down a bit" at that point, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). Price would "rather not talk about it all year long" but he's "not closing every door," Heyman tweets.
- Right-handed reliever Tom Wilhelmsen has no regrets about challenging the Mariners to an arbitration hearing despite losing his case, as Bob Dutton of The News Tribune writes. "You hear so many things about it," he said. "I'm glad I did it. I got to stand up for what I believe in, man. That's a pretty cool thing to do." Wilhelmsen sought $2.2MM but the three-judge panel sided with the club's offer of $1.4MM.
- Recently, Dave Cameron of FanGraphs ranked the Braves' signing of Nick Markakis and the Mariners' signing of Nelson Cruz as two of the worst moves of the offseason. Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com understands why the Orioles opted not to go that far in terms of years and dollars but he doesn't see either deal as harshly as Cameron.

Mike Minor Wins Arbitration Case Versus Braves
Mike Minor has won his arbitration hearing versus the Braves, reports MLBTR's Tim Dierkes (on Twitter). Minor will earn $5.6MM as opposed to the $5.1MM figure submitted by the team, as shown in MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker. Minor, a Jet Sports Management client, had been projected to earn $5.1MM by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz.
Minor, who turned 27 this past December, was plagued by shoulder issues in an injury-shortened 2014 campaign. The left-hander worked to a 4.77 ERA with 7.4 K/9, 2.7 BB/9 and a 40.6 percent ground-ball rate in 145 1/3 innings with Atlanta last year. Those numbers were a far cry from the very strong 3.21 ERA he posted in 204 1/3 innings in a much healthier 2013 campaign.
David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was among the reporters to discuss the arbitration hearing with Minor today (video link). Minor said the hearing process took roughly four hours, and he holds no hard feelings toward the Braves organization, understanding that the process was merely business. In fact, he spoke with Braves officials who were representing the team upon completion of the hearing. "They all say 'good luck — hope you have a great year,' so it's nothing personal," Minor said. The lefty added that his shoulder feels 100 percent and he's slated for a bullpen session the second day. Minor discussed feeling behind and feeling weak as he entered Spring Training last season, noting how strong he feels in comparison this year.
Minor will receive a nice $1.75MM bump from his $3.85MM salary in his second trip through the arbitration process. A Super Two player, Minor will be eligible for arbitration twice more before hitting the open market upon completion of the 2017 campaign. That timeline has him slated to hit free agency heading into his age-30 season, which should set him up for a nice payday if he can rediscover his 2013 form now that his shoulder woes appear to be in the past.
AL Central Notes: Indians, Tigers, Cabrera
For the third installment of a four-part series comparing the Indians and the division-rival Tigers, Cleveland.com's Zack Meisel spoke to both Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski and Indians GM Chris Antonetti about the way in which their payroll allows them to operate. Dombrowski discussed how the financial muscle provided to him by owner Mike Ilitch allows for an aggressive approach that he didn't necessarily have when serving as GM of the Expos and Marlins, or even earlier in his Tigers tenure. While a larger pool of resources hasn't changed his philosophical approach to the game, per se, it has changed his approach to accomplishing his goals.
Antonetti, meanwhile, discussed the importance of acquiring and building around players in the "sweet spot" of their careers, as the Tribe GM termed it — players who are entering, or in the midst, of their peak years (and subsequently are in the early stages of arbitration). The young nature of Cleveland's core made the team comfortable with adding only Brandon Moss and Gavin Floyd to the roster this winter, Antonetti added. "It's a group that played its best baseball in the second half, and so as we looked at things, we felt very good about the group of guys we headed into the offseason with," Antonetti said.
Some more AL Central notes…
- The Tigers announced yesterday that two-time AL MVP Miguel Cabrera has been cleared to begin non-impact baseball activities, which include hitting and throwing. Cabrera "will begin a running progression until full weight-bearing is achieved," per the press release. While the Tigers neglected to give a specific timetable for his return, the release indicated that the club is "optimistic" that Cabrera will be ready come Opening Day. Cabrera underwent surgery in October to remove bone spurs from his right ankle and repair a stress fracture in his right foot.
- A report earlier this week indicated that the Royals watched Phil Coke throw recently, and Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star tweets that the Royals have not only watched Coke, but also Alfredo Aceves throw. Kansas City is still on the hunt for relief depth, McCullough notes. While Coke makes some sense as a lefty option in the K.C. bullpen, he's reportedly seeking a Major League contract, whereas Aceves could certainly be had on a minor league deal.
- When the Braves and Royals engaged in Justin Upton trade talks earlier this winter, Atlanta wanted left-handed prospect Sean Manaea included in the deal, according to Peter Gammons in his most recent post at GammonsDaily.com. The 34th overall pick of the 2013 draft, Manaea was projected by many as a top 10-15 pick before questions about hip and shoulder injuries caused his stock to drop. The southpaw performed well in his first pro season, posting a 3.11 ERA, 10.8 K/9 and 2.7 K/BB rate over 121 2/3 IP in high-A ball. Gammons believes Manaea has a shot at being a late-season call-up this year, and compares him to another heralded left-handed prospect in Carlos Rodon.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Matching Lines Between Detroit and San Jose
by Alanah McGinley on 04/26/07 at 10:19 AM ET
Comments (0)
From John Niyo at The Detroit News,
Nick Lidstrom , with a little backchecking help from his friends, held Calgary's star forward, Jarome Iginla , largely in check in the first round. But this stacked San Jose lineup presents a more daunting challenge for the Wings defense.
"This is a little different, because Calgary is a one-trick pony, and we're not," Sharks coach Ron Wilson said Tuesday. "We've got a lot of weapons. Our third and fourth lines can be just as dangerous.
"They'll pick a matchup that they think can help them. But we've got four lines we'll be rolling, and it'll be hard for them to check all those guys."

Daniel Bard on thoracic outlet syndrome surgery: 'I just knew it was the right thing to do' |
02.05.14 at 6:36 pm ET |
Appearing on The Bradford Files podcast, former Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard talked with Rob Bradford about his recent injury diagnosis and surgery, and the affects he said it had on him the last few years. To listen to the interview, click here.
"I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and the surgery they do to fix that is, it's called a rib extension and they actually go in behind your collarbone, on my throwing arm side, and take out half that first rib," Bard said. "The idea behind it is it frees up that nerve that runs over the top of it. That's what they did. Sounds pretty invasive. It was a pretty painful first few days but feeling good right, about a month out of surgery."
Bard had the surgery on Jan. 2 and says that he is on schedule to throw in two weeks, right in line for spring training with the Rangers. Before having the surgery, Bard was nervous about doing it.
Former Red Sox teammate Josh Beckett was the first to suggest Bard might be dealing with TOS (with Beckett having undergone surgery for the ailment during the 2013 season), reaching out to the reliever in early September. Bard then was put in touch with former Red Sox trainer Mike Reinold in early December after struggling during a stint in the Puerto Rico winter league.
Reinold referenced tests the Red Sox had performed on Bard in previous seasons that suggested there might be an issue, encouraging the righty to be examined by a team of specialists in the Dallas area. The determination was that it would be best if Bard underwent surgery.
"For me it was hard to pull the trigger and go, 'Yeah, go in and cut out a chunk of my rib, just see if it works.' … The doctors really did, it's not like they were talking me into it, they just seemed very convinced themselves that the surgery was going to help me and over time it kind of sunk in and I just knew it was the right thing to do."
For Bard, the thoracic outlet syndrome was made worse from his decline in play and move to the starting rotation in 2012.
"I think through the whole starting thing it happened to coincide with when, and I think the increased workload of starting in 2012 probably sped up the process and made this situation a little worse," Bard said. "And not to mention you're not feeling a lot of outward symptoms, you're not feeling pain. So you don't think anything's wrong with you physically and then when the results of what you expect them to be, velocity is down, command is a little bit worse. You immediately try to start fixing things and the first thing you try to fix in baseball is usually mechanics. If it's not mechanics, it's something mental. … It was just kind of a snowball effect of me trying to fix things when in reality I was kind of working with a not fully functional nerve in my arm which I think affected me more than anyone realized at the time."
Even before the surgery, Bard had interest from multiple teams, settling on the Rangers on Feb. 3.
"There were some teams that were interested, the Cubs being one of them, beforehand, before I even had the surgery that were showing interest," Bard said. "Then the Rangers kind of came in after they found out about the surgery. But they came in strong and made me feel really welcome and wanted. It just felt like a good fit."

Hey guys, I have a problem with my S3. When I try to install apps, it says that I don't have enough memory. I go to manage applications and see that I have 6gb of internal and 8 gb of SD storage available. I try again and it gives the same message. I've tried removing the SD card and installing and rebooting but the problem is still there. I'm fully rooted running the stock rom. Thanks for any help!
Flash stock rom again from your Nandroid backup. (did you make one?) If not, Flash a stock rom from xda forum and reroot. I save my titanium Backup files onto my ext sd card, plus my dropbox (along with my recent Nandroid backups.) makes life easier with backups saved off your internal memory. I had the exact same issue as you. Flashing back to the stock rom was the only solution I found to this known issue.

PoliticsUS sees 'troubling' Iran nuclear developments Iran accused of expanding uranium enrichment capacity by installing advanced and first-generation centrifuges. 11 Sep 2013 18:47 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Iran, United States Rouhani is under pressure to take steps to ease concens about Iran's nuclear programme [AP]The US has said it sees "troubling developments" in Iran's nuclear programme and called on the country's new president to take concrete steps soon to ease concerns about Iran's aims. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate, has pledged to improve Iran's relations with world powers to help ease stringent international sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic over its atomic activities. Joseph MacManus, US ambassador, said on Wednesday that the US was ready to work with the new Iranian government "to reach a diplomatic solution that will fully address the international community's concerns" about Iran's nuclear programme. "We are hopeful that the Rouhani administration will live up to its assurances of transparency and cooperation by taking concrete steps over the next several months," he told the 35-nation board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, according to a copy of his speech. "We are mindful of this unique moment, and urge Iran to take the steps necessary to allay international concerns about the nature of its nuclear programme." Iran says it is enriching uranium only for civilian energy and medicine. The West suspects the programme is covertly oriented towards developing the capability to make nuclear weapons. MacManus noted that Iran had further expanded its uranium enrichment capacity by continuing to install both advanced and first-generation centrifuges, calling these steps "concerning escalations of an already prohibited activity". Iran is also making further progress in the construction of a reactor, Arak, that can yield plutonium for bombs, including putting the reactor vessel in place and beginning to make fuel, he said. "All of these are troubling developments," he said.Source: Agencies

Venezuelan newspaper El Universal reports that Miguel Cabrera has told the Tigers that he wants to play first base.
This is probably a relief to everyone in the Tigers organization, who you have to figure WANT Cabrera to play first base now that Prince Fielder is gone. And want to have third base open for prospect Nick Castellanos. But some recent statements about how the Tigers have not yet decided the matter suggest that, maybe, the team was waiting to make sure they were on the same page with the reigning two-time MVP before committing to it.
With Cabrera going on record in this way, you can bet your bippy that he'll be the Tigers first baseman come Opening Day.

One of the biggest impacts of the Internet of Things is and will continue to be on data; specifically data volume, management and usage. Companies are scrambling to adapt to this new and unpredictable data reality with legacy infrastructure that cannot handle the speed and volume of data.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Don DeLoach, CEO and president of Infobright, will discuss how companies need to rethink their data infrastructure to participate in the IoT, including:

In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas.

Duck Fat
If one day, someone asks me what the best French fries I have ever eaten were, I would probably be inclined to remember Benita's Frites, this railroad-sized French fry shop on the Santa Monica promenade. Benita's introduced me to the dipping sauces, to the notion that fries can go with more than ketchup. Mustard, mayonnaise, blue cheese, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing... They served the fries in paper cones set in silver "cone-holders," for lack of a better word. It was there that I first developed the philosophy that I could live off of French fries. Benita's Frites moved to Universal Studios, then one day they closed, and since then I have been on a hunt for perfect French fries.
Last weekend, in Portland, Maine, I found them, at Duck Fat. One of the many gourmet restaurants in Portland, the new haven for gourmet restaurants in the Northeast (Hugos, opened up a sandwich shop right next door).
At Duck Fat, they fry their French fries in Duck Fat, and they named the shop accordingly. Not only did they recreate the youthful memory I had of my favorite fries, they matured it and all but blew it out of the water. Also, they make their own soda: strawberry and anise, and ginger brew. AND, their milkshakes are insane. Don't ask me why I had soda and a milkshake, but it seemed appropriate at the time. And then came the fries. I've ventured into a wide array of sauces, and am always hesitant to go back to ketchup, but Duck Fat's famous truffle ketchup was tempting.
My friends and I devoured the fries, as the silver bowl of sauce screamed up at us: "I know what's wrong with ketchup, and I've just fixed it for you." It was too late to take a picture.

A legal battle is underway in Pakistan for the three young children of Shama and Shahzad Masih, the Christian couple who were burned alive by Muslim radicals in November.
Fides News Agency identified the children as 6–year-old Saman, 4-year-old Sania, and 18-month-old Poonam. While the children are living with their maternal grandfather, there are five different applications that have been lodged at the Court of Lahore demanding custody.
Those applying to take the children are Mukhtar Masih, the grandfather; maternal uncle Yasin Masih; paternal uncle Iqbal Masih; the Legal Evangelical Association Development organization led by Christian lawyer Sardar Mushtaq Gill; as well as the nonprofit Child Protection and Welfare Bureau. more >>
A liberal Saudi blogger who was sentenced to endure 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam" has been temporarily reprieved from his 50 weekly lashings after a board of doctors ruled his body is incapable of taking any more lashings in the near future.
After sentencing 31-year-old Raif Badawi, who operated the a blog called "Free Saudi Liberals," to 10 years in prison, 1,000 lashings and fining him about $266,060 for "insulting Islam" in his writings, the Saudi government has received international pressure for doling out such extreme punishments to someone who simply wrote on his own views and opinions.
The sentence of 1,000 lashes by a cane was arranged for Badawi, a father of three, so that he receives them in increments of 50 every Friday during the course of 20 weeks. But after receiving his first set of 50 lashes on Jan. 9 in the city of Jiddah, Badawi had not been subjected to the punishment in the two following weeks. more >>
Following the January 7 massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, where Islamic gunmen killed a dozen people because the satirical magazine had mocked the prophet of Islam, one thing has become clear: the amount of atrocities committed in the name of Islam all around the world have become so frequent, so ubiquitous, that other, lesser hostilities by Muslims, which might once have been newsworthy, are now completely falling by the wayside, seen as minor and insignificant—commonplace, almost expected.
Thus, while Islamic gunmen were massacring "infidels" in Paris (and elsewhere), "everyday Muslims" in Europe were engaging in less dramatic, but no less significant behavior.
On Friday, January 9—Friday being when Muslims get most riled during mosque sermons and when non-Muslims are frequently attacked—"foreigners" in Italy, believed to be Muslims, attacked a man kneeling in prayer before the statue of the Virgin Mary, tore the photo of a loved one from his hand, and then broke and urinated on the Virgin Mary statue. By the time police arrived at the chapel the attackers had already fled. more >>
On January 17th Sound Vision Foundation, a Chicago-based 501 (C) 3 organization held a "Stand with the Prophet" event in Garland, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, at the Curtis Culwell Center on Independent School District property. The event, permitted by the Superintendent of Public Schools, launched a Strategic Communication Center for Muslims to advocate censoring and criminalizing non-Muslim speech.
Sound Vision asks: "Frustrated with Islamophobes defaming the Prophet? Remember the Danish cartoons defaming the Prophet? Or the anti-Islam film, "Innocence of Muslims"?" After Muslim "defenders of Muhammad" recently murdered 16 people in Paris, and continue to persecute millions of Christians and non-Muslims worldwide, Sound Vision expressed its commitment to "defending Muhammad."
They claim: "This is not an event. It is the beginning of a movement. A movement to defend the Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message." They assert "attacks" against Muslims stem from "media defamation" of their religion and that "Islamophobia is causing problems all around the world." more >>
As thousands of women and girls are being raped, abused and victimized as part of the Islamic State's sex slave operation in Iraq and Syria, one Iraqi man is buying ISIS sex slaves in order to free and reunite them with their families.
In the Islamic State's sex slave market, captured religious minority women, girls and even babies are sold to militants and supporters willing to dish out good money for a new jihadi bride or woman they just want to abuse and hand off to their buddies when they are finished.
Although many find it unethical to participate in the Islamic State's human trafficking market that helps fund the terrorist organization that has killed thousands, one unnamed Iraqi man is purchasing ISIS's sex slaves not for phyiscal pleasure but to give them freedom. more >>
The leader of Pakistani politico-religious party Jamaat-e Islami is claiming that the Western "extremist standpoint" on the freedom of news organizations to publish "blasphemous caricatures" of Islam's prophet Muhammad will ultimately lead to World War III.
In addressing the thousands in attendance at a Friday protest over the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which publicized cartoons portraying Muhammad, the influential chief of the Jamaat-e Islami party, Sirajul Haq, demanded that the United Nations make laws designed to prevent the media and others from mocking religious personalities.
Haq explained that the West's leniency and tolerance in dealing with those who mock Islam by publishing Muhammad's image could lead to yet another Great War, The Express Tribune reports. more >>
