The draft is now just a week away, so Jim Callis at Baseball America posted the second version of his mock draft. Last time around he had the Yankees grabbing Clemson outfielder Kyle Parker, but this time he has them selecting Texas high school righty Tyrell Jenkins. This certainly isn't the first time we've heard his name connected to the Yanks, and you can read all you need to know about him here. The Yanks were pretty hot on Slade Heathcott at this time last year, so it's looking more and more like Jenkins is the guy.
Fan Confidence Poll: May 31st, 2010
Record Last Week: 4-2 (32 RS, 28 RA)
Season Record: 30-20 (278 RS, 209 RA, 32-18 Pythag. record), 3.5 games back
Schedule This Week: vs. Indians (one game, Mon.), vs. Orioles (three games, Tues. to Thurs.), @ Blue Jays (three games, Fri. to Sun.)
Top stories from last week:
- Monday's off day was a nice break following last week's struggles, but the first game against the Twins was suspended in the 5th inning due to rain. Derek Jeter gave the Yanks all the offense they'd need when the game resumed the next day, then Nick Swisher and Andy Pettitte teamed up for a win in the nightcap. The Yanks dropped the third game thanks to another poor Javy Vazquez start.
- With a much needed series win to their credit, the Yanks returned home to take on the last place Indians. Curtis Granderson returned to the lineup in the first game and help sparked an offensive explosion, though an epic bullpen meltdown grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory on Saturday. A.J. Burnett delivered an ace-like performance and Mark Teixeira hit a huge late inning homer for a come from behind win yesterday.
- Injury Zone: David Robertson is day-to-day after leaving Saturday's game with a minor back strain. Vazquez's bullpen session went well following his finger injury, and he was able to make his scheduled start on Thursday. Al Aceves though he was making progress with his back injury, but he suffered a setback. Jorge Posada could return as soon as this Friday.
- After some debate, Randy Winn was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Granderson. Shane Lindsay was designated for assignment and Boone Logan was optioned to the minors to make room on the 40-man and 25-man rosters, respectively, for Chad Gaudin, who was brought back.
- It's not yet June, but we're starting to hear some trade rumblings. The Yankees will apparently look for a versatile outfielder and a reliever, though they don't have interest in Roy Oswalt.

Yanks rally in seventh for comeback win
After letting the Indians back into the game yesterday, the Yanks had to exact revenge today. A.J. Burnett did his job and then some, working through eight innings. He allowed a run early on, but it was just one. The Indians put together two more following an error in the seventh, but the Yanks immediately responded. That win felt nearly as good as yesterday's loss feels bad, though the distance from yesterday certainly helps that.
Biggest Hit: Tex brings them all the way back
A wave of offensive futility swept the Yankees for the first six innings of this game. They had a few chances early on, but, in the same way we saw them falter during the past week or so, they could not bring any of their baserunners home. The sense of defeat heightened when the Indians scored two in the top of the seventh after a none on, two-out situation. But the players are not fans. They know how it feels to lose a game, and want to avoid that feeling whenever possible. When the Yankees came to bat in the bottom of the seventh, they did not feel defeated.
Nick Swisher, minutes after hitting the padded concrete wall in right shoulder first, ripped a single to center. Juan Miranda moved him up and Brett Gardner singled himself, which gave the Yankees two chances with the potential tying run at the plate. Francisco Cervelli, pinch-hitting for Chad Moeller, struck out on four pitches, the last one on a sinker down and inside. Then came to the plate a man hailed for his clutch abilities. Mr. Clutch himself, Derek Jeter, delivered the first runs of the game for the Yanks. Masterson pounded him down and in with sinkers, and on the fourth one Jeter pounced, lacing it up the middle to score Swisher and Gardner.
Manny Acta then went to the lefty Tony Sipp to face the lefty Curtis Granderson. Girardi left him in to hit, though there might have been a few advocates for Marcus Thames in that situation. Steve Goldman wrote on Friday that he's, "not sure why they wouldn't" platoon Granderson. He notes that, "to the point that he got hurt there was no evidence that he had made any progress whatsoever." Progress is not always evident at first. Progress, by definition, takes time. I'm sure the Yankees knew that the work they did with Granderson in spring training would not make him a lefty-masher overnight. It takes time, and there's no reason for the Yankees to employ a platoon and sacrifice the experiment just because it hasn't yet produced results in the smallest of early-season samples.
Granderson proved critics wrong, at least this once, by smashing a high fastball from Sipp over Shin Shoo-Choo's head for a double. That put the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position for Mark Teixeira. Sipp got ahead early, slipping a slider by Teixeira for a called strike one and getting him to swing through a 91 mph outside fastball. Then Tex played the waiting game. He took an outside fastball, and then a slider diving low and in. The next pitch looked a bit outside, but Tex fouled it away anyway. Sipp then went back to the slider on another 2-2 pitch, trying to backdoor Teixeira. That was not happening. Tex turned the pitch around and put it way over the fence, giving the Yanks their first lead of the game.
The lingering feelings from yesterday's ugly and painful loss hung around for the first six innings of this one. The Yanks changed that all with the glorious seventh. That should leave us with a more optimistic feeling heading into tomorrow's matinee.
Burnett gives the Yanks just what they need
Yesterday the Yanks just could not get pitching. It seemed like CC Sabathia had things under control in the early innings, but he couldn't keep it going. Then the bullpen took over and completely melted down. After a game like that the bullpen could have used a day off. Burnett did his best to supply that kind of performance.
He kept up a brisk pace in the early going, one that would lend itself to a seven, and perhaps eight, inning performance. After a 23-pitch seventh there was some doubt about his taking the ball in the eighth, but Girardi let him have it. He needed just 11 pitches to record a ground out and two strikeouts, leaving the lead to Mariano Rivera. Burnett has delivered on that level a few times this season.
Burnett had everything working today, from his four-seamer to the two-seamer to the curveball. His two-seamer was his most effective pitch, resulting in five swinging strikes. It has turned into a true weapon this year, something he can pitch off of if he doesn't have his best curveball. It crosses nearly as fast as the four-seamer, and it has a bit more horizontal break. He did have his curveball, too. He threw only 10 of 28 for strikes, but three of those came of the swinging variety.
Mark makes up for mistake
With Luis Valbuena standing on second with two outs in the seventh, A.J. Burnett got into a battle with Lou Marson. With the count full Burnett delivered a two-seamer at the knees. Marson grounded it to Jeter's right, but he fielded it and threw a bit offline to first. Teixeira stretched, keeping his foot on the bag, but the ball bounced off his glove. That allowed Valbuena to score and kept the inning going. The Indians took advantage on the next batter, when Jason Donald tripled over Swisher's head. Thankfully Trevor Crowe handed them the final out of the inning, but the previous sequence was harmful to the Yankees' chances of winning.
The official scorer charged Jeter with the error, which comes as little surprise. On a stretch play like that the error almost always goes to the throw. However, a first baseman like Teixeira should certainly have that, and I'm sure he'd tell you the same himself. He more than made up for it with his home run. At the time it felt like a big play, and reflecting on the game I still think it was a big turning point. Thankfully, Teixeira's homer stands out far more in my memory.
Mo making it look easy again
A couple of weeks ago, Mariano Rivera went through his annual hiccup. A lack of work and an injury hurt his command, the very tool which he requires to perform his miracles. He even had trouble last Friday against the Mets. But after his double-save day on Wednesday, it looked like he had rediscovered his dominant form. Today he showed it again, striking out the first two batters he faced before getting Valbuena to ground one right back to him.
The last out was the most visually impressive. Mo, displaying the athleticism we rarely see on display, hurdled the barrel of a shattered bat, knocked down the grounder, fielded, threw, and ended the game. Also encouraging: his velocity was up around 92, 93 for much of the inning. He had averaged a hair under 91 mph previously this season.
Congratulations, Joe

Don't miss Chad Jennings' feature on Juan Miranda and what it took to defect to the U.S.
Triple-A Scranton (6-4 loss to Syracuse)
Greg Golson, CF & Jeff Natale, 2B: both 0 for 4 – Golson drew a walk, got picked off first & K'ed
Reegie Corona, 3B-SS: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 2B – four of his last seven hits have gone for extra bases, which is impressive considering 11 XBH all season
Eduardo Nunez, SS: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 HBP – left the game after being hit by a pitch
Matt Cusick, 3B: 1 for 1 - took over for Nunez
Jon Weber, RF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K

Romulo Sanchez: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 9-6 GB/FB – just 57 of his 100 pitches were strikes
Mark Melancon: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1-0 GB/FB - just four of his 12 pitches were strikes … that's very un-Melancon-like … he & the opposing manager both got ejected, so I suspect there was some disagreement about the strike zone
Jason Hirsh: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1-3 GB/FB – 20 of 35 pitches were strikes (57.1%)
Open Thread: Winning cures everything
So that was a pleasing win today. Not gonna lie, the first oh, seven innings or so had me shouting expletives and wishing everyone not named Robinson could be DFA'd, but they pulled it off. I guess I was still aggravated over that disaster from yesterday. Give it up to A.J. Burnett, that was nothing short of an ace-like performance on a day with a short and unreliable bullpen behind him.
If you're not out enjoying the long weekend, use this as your open thread. The ESPN Sunday Night Game is the Rangers at the Twins (Derek Holland vs. Scott Baker), and that's pretty much it for sports. You know what so do, so take it away.
Hi-A prospects: Tampa
This is the third installment of our four-part What's going on with some of my favorite minor leaguers? series. Today, we head down south to Tampa, Florida, where the Hi-A Tampa Yankees might actually be the most popular baseball team in town, which is really actually kind of sad. (I know the Trop sucks and it's a hassle to go to, but c'mon Tampa fans, please watch your team play baseball. They're really good. /unrelated rant)
Tampa features the most intriguing pitching staff in the Yankee farm with Adam Warren, Andrew Brackman, Graham Stoneburner and fan-favorite Pat Venditte. Among hitters, only Bradley Suttle and Corban Joseph really stick out at you, although Melky Mesa is also a fairly well-known name. I know he's a fun novelty item, but I just don't see Venditte (or Mesa) as a real prospect, so the list will only include Warren, Brackman, Stoneburner, Suttle and Joseph. We'll start with the hitters.
Bradley Suttle, 3B
Drafted as an above-slot bonus baby in the 4th round of the 2007 MLB draft, Suttle was known for two things – 1) He had a fantastic hit tool, maybe the best in that entire draft; and 2) he also happens to be this man in disguise:
Suttle has Type-1 diabetes. Since coming into the system, he's been pretty up and down and his time has been largely marred by injury. In 2008 at Charleston he put up a line of .272/.345/.457. I wouldn't call it a bad season, but it's not eye-catching either. You'd ideally like a bit more out of a guy considered by many to be the best pure hitter in college coming out of the draft, but he didn't totally struggle either. Still, it seems odd that a guy known for great plate discipline would notch 91 strikeouts and only 42 walks in 372 plate appearances.
But where Suttle really struggled was against southpaws – he hit .219/.323/.324 against them while at Charleston. For a guy without a great defensive reputation, with average power and mediocre athleticism, that sort of thing isn't what moves you up the levels. Still, all things considered, Suttle had a fairly decent season.
But ut-oh! 2009 was entirely missed due to multiple shoulder injuries, including labrum surgery. Not great for a guy that might not have profiled as a 3B anyway. Arm strength is kind of critical. So we fast forward to 2010. On the year, Suttle is hitting .242/.306/.327. As you can see, he's not hitting for any power but he's also hitting 46% of balls into the ground. If you don't have very good speed, you're not going to see a lot of those fall in for hits. He's also struck out 44 times in 165 AB's and walked 16 times. That approach will get you nowhere if you don't at least make solid contact when you do hit the ball. As I've said, he doesn't. But there are some bright spots. He's hitting left-handers better this year at .317/.344/.362 but that's also aided by a BABip of .404. Considering his age at the level, the injury issues and the regression in on-base skills, it's hard to see Suttle going much further. Hopefully he's still feeling the ill-effects of surgery and will bounce back and at least show off great hitting skills.
2010 season at Hi-A: .242/.306/.327
Last ten games: .206/.293/.206
Corban Joseph Multi-Pass was the Yankees' fourth-round pick of the 2008 draft. Originally drafted as a shorstop, it seems most people didn't believe he could stay there, including the Yankees, who moved him to second base. He also rated negatively (per Total Zone on B-Ref) at Charleston in a limited sample, but he it's unlikely he'd develop the power to play at a corner, so 2nd would likely be a position he'll have to pick up to move up and be a big-league player at some point. But he was solid at the hot corner, so maybe the team would direct him along the path of Kevin Russo. Who knows.
Now, that said, CoJo can hit. Last year in Charleston he was one of the more consistent hitters, throwing a line up of .300/.381/.418. He had a line drive rate of 25% and was pretty even with his strikeouts to walks ratio (61/49). He did have a crazy-high BABip over the last few months which made up for early season struggles, so it really was a tale of two seasons. So what has 2010 looked like for the Tennessee native?
He's again one of the better hitters on the team and still a young player at 21. He's hitting .303/.354/.415 and has two home runs on the year. I don't know how his defense has been on the season, but his stick has again been very solid. He's really the only hitter I can see on the Tampa team realistically continuing to move up with a real shot in the show. At this rate anyway. Still, the defense will have to really improve.
2010 season at Hi-A: .300/.381/.418
Last ten games: .343/.425/.371
Adam Warren, SP
What can I say about Adam Warren that hasn't already been said? The dude has just been straight rolling though Hi-A hitters. It's not even fair. Selected out of the University of North Carolina (go Heels!) in the 4th round of the 2009 draft, Warren should be a guy that advances quickly. He was a polished college senior, had an uptick of velocity (hitting 96) and has the potential to impact the big club possibly as early as 2011. Last year at Staten Island he ran over New York Penn League hitters, holding them with an ERA of 1.43 and solid peripherals.
In Tampa, he's thrown 54 innings with just 14 walks and has registered 40 strikeouts. Batters are hitting .235 against him, which jumped considerably due to a poor outing on Friday. Per MILBSPLITS, Warren has gotten tons of groundballs (60%) and has kept the ball in the park (3% HR/FB ratio). I'm not sold that will look the same in Trenton, but there's nothing it seems Warren needs to learn here at Hi-A. Expect to see him in lovely Trenton very shortly. If anyone knows how his velocity has been and the look of his secondary pitches this year, please let me know. As you can see by his last two starts, he finally ran into some trouble this year. Hey, it happens. He was lopped for 5 runs in less than three innings before exiting the game. No biggie. He'll be fine.
2010 season at Hi-A: 54 IP, 2.67 ERA, 48 hits, 18 runs, 40 K, 14 BB, 2.43 GB/AA
Last two starts: 7.2 IP, 7.83 ERA, 8 hits, 6 Runs, 3 K, 0BB
Andrew Brackman, SP
Maybe one of the more hated prospects in the Yankee system, Andrew Brackman has had a strange season thus far. Signed as a classic bust/boom player as the Yankees' 1st round pick in 2007, I don't think anyone really expected what they saw out of him last year. Plagued with wildness and diminished stuff last season, he needed to show some positive signs of development this year. And he has. Brackmonster started the season off as we saw him in the throes of last year: 20 runs in 16.2 innings. Still, despite the crazy amount of runs, he walked one batter in that time frame. I can't begin to tell you how unbelievable that is.
And check this out: he's gotten much, much better since that bad stretch. Brackman has had only one start since then in which he's given up more than one run. The walks are still minuscule at 5(!) in 38 innings and he's notched 29 strikeouts this year. That's pretty good. But the weird thing is it hasn't fallen in with his scouting report. Kevin Goldstein reported that he's been in the low-90's (touching 94) with bad breaking balls. I don't quite know how someone is able to put numbers up like this with two bad breaking balls and a fastball in the low 90's, so I'm thinking maybe Goldstein saw him earlier in the season when he was getting bombed.
In May, which sandwiched a few rough starts with the rest of his good starts, Brackmonster has gotten hitters to ground out in 58% of at bats, his FIP is a crisp 3.24 and he wasn't getting battered by a BABip of .455 like he did in April. Yeah, .455. Wow! I'm not going to say he pitched very well in April, but that's an unbelievably high BABip, even in the minors. His FIP in April, after all, was only 4.20. He really wasn't as bad as the box score would indicate.
The stuff is perhaps more important than the results. If Brackman is hitting 96 with his nasty hammer curve (two pitches that once hit 80 on the scale), I'd rather have that than weak stuff but solid results. Andrew Brackman just isn't a prospect without a great fastball and breaking ball. At best he becomes John Rausch, who while a productive baseball player with similar size, relies on control. Andrew Brackman has never featured that. It's totally possible he could, but I wonder how far he could get without great stuff. I'm hoping he'll regain that velocity and feel for his curve. If Brackman does develop (a huge if), that's easily the best pitcher in the system in terms of talent. Definitely my favorite guy to watch not named Jesus.
2010 Hi-A season:
38 IP, 5.92 ERA, 48 hits, 28 runs, 29 K, 5BB
Last two starts: 12 IP, 0.83 ERA, 9 hits, 1 run, 9 K, 2 BB
One of the overslot signings of the 2009 draft, Stoneburner, featuring a plus-name and a lot of potential, has unequivocally been one of the best pitchers in the Yankee farm this season. You may remember he started the year in Charleston, where he stole batters' lunch money and did donuts in the faculty parking lot. He brutalized them until being promoted in mid-May. How's he looked in his promotion?
Well, there's such a thing as a free lunch still in Tampa. Stoneburner, in 22 innings, has an ERA of 3.68 and has struck out 24. He does have 10 walks and had two very sharp starts and two rocky outings, so the consistency is not quite completely there at Tampa. In Charleston he was able to use his heavy sinking fastball to register a GB% of 55% and it's particularly high against righties. Lefties seem to fare better against Stoneburner. In Tampa they've racked up 7 runs in 9.2 innings and 8 walks. That'll need to improve but there's a lot to like about Stoneburner's hot start this year. He has a great arm and he continues to rack up strikeouts and limit walks. Spare a couple poor outings, Stoneburner's been unreal this season. He might end up a reliever if his breaking balls don't fully develop, but even in that role, he could be a good one. And one that rises quickly.
2010 Hi-A season:
22 IP, 3.68 ERA, 11 hits, 9 runs, 24 K, 10 BB
Last two starts: 12 IP, 2.50 ERA, 6 hits, 3 runs, 13 K, 4 BB
Ok folks, that's all from Tampa. When I get back from vacation we'll do Charleston. You can check out some of my other work at http://www.mystiqueandaura.com/
Posada could be close to returning
Out with a hairline fracture on the bottom of his right foot, Jorge Posada appears to be close to returning to the Yankees lineup. "I think a lot of it is going to take care of itself when we see him run, which is real close," said Joe Girardi. The perpetually optimistic Posada has been swinging the bat in the cage this weekend, and thinks he could be back in time for the team's three game series in Toronto starting Friday. Girardi acknowledged that a rehab assignment is possible, however. Either way, it's good to see him on his way back.
Yankee catchers are hitting just .227-.308-.295 (.294 wOBA) since Posada got hurt, so his return to lineup will be very, very welcome.

At the time of writing, the PlayStation Network is offline due to a DDoS attack from an online group.
Sony's PlayStation Network is inaccessible to PlayStation users, and a group called LizardSquad is claiming responsibility for the deed.Furthermore, it seems that more than the Japanese hardware and software-making corporation has been the target of such attacks, as a wave of DDoS attempts have been reported all around the Internet.
ShackNews reports that Riot Games' League of Legends, Grinding Gear's Path of Exile and Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net service have also been attacked, although the games are now fully playable, as the attacks seems to have shifted completely toward PSN.
PSN is offline and Sony has confirmed that it was under DDoS attack and that it is now undergoing maintenance. The PSN outage is not related to the scheduled maintenance, set for Monday morning.
For the time being, the situation seems to be much less serious than back in 2011, when the company experienced a large-scale DDoS attack for not allowing users to install third-party software on the PlayStation 3, and pursuing legal action against individuals who wanted to help people unlock their machines.
Now it seems that Sony's greed and questionable business ethic are once again cited as the reason for the ongoing attack.
We are under attack by a large scale ddos. Being dealt with but it will impact games until its handled.
— John Smedley (@j_smedley) August 24, 2014
The official PlayStation support Twitter account mentions that Sony personnel is "working to fix the issue as soon as possible," and that there is no time frame for when service will be restored.
Additionally, there is currently no information that would point to any confidential user data having been exposed during the attack.

A public tasting of Cadbury's — the favorite chocolate in Ireland and Britain — and good old American-made Hershey's chocolate resulted in big win for the British-made sweet stuff.
Although the contest was supervised by the "official" Royal Society of Chemistry as well a Keele University's chemistry department, American observers were quick to note the contest took place in central London.
"Not exactly a neutral court, was it?" one American from New York chimed in as he savored his Hershey bar.
The tasters came from many parts of the world, including the USA, where the Hershey's bar, like the Cadbury bar in Britain, is a national institution.
Results showed that of the 300 people polled (with nearly two-thirds having been raised outside of the UK) 74% preferred Cadbury, and 26% preferred Hershey's.
Each taster was asked to give each brand a mark out of 10 (with 10 being tastiest); Cadbury received an average mark of 7.1, whereas Hershey's average mark was 5.8.
Of those polled who were raised in North America, 71% preferred Cadbury chocolate.
"They felt intimidated by the presence of so many British police," the American chocolate-lover quipped. "Who wouldn't be?"
The survey was part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Food 2009 year, looking at all aspects of food production, transportation, storage, consumption and waste.

To affect the quality of one's day is no small achievement..
First thing first, I'm about as sweet as they can come, ha especially these days.. I'm a mother and father 24/7 to my son and I'm at the point now where I'm entertaining the idea of dating again- and no I'm not jaded or anything.I really do appreciate a mans touch. Please, please move on to another profile if deep down you know you're just up to no good. I'm looking to be in the company of a good man. I'm usually the person who's waiting in a long line that will at the very least get a smile on the cashiers face. I'm an angler, and quite the wise guy. I tend to get along with all walks of life... I'm a bit of an observer. Thus,I'm a bit quite at first. I understand that people are people and rarely do I hold mistakes against one. I don't let just anyone steal my joy which can be mistaken for passive. Often I find that there's just no point in an argument. It's like I said I dont let just anyone steal my joy- I'm the mother who's actually playing at the park. When it comes to kids, I have absolutely noooo shame.... in all reality I'll opt for the kids table verses the big peoples table anyday..I don't give a damn about celebrities or the newest iwhatever -- if you're looking for high maintenance, keep looking,I'm not the one, ha and good luck with that! I've been told that I'm an ol'fashion kind of girl- I'll tell ya, I'm not impossible to please by any means nor do I want the world. I just don't put myself out there and well that hasn't got me far. As far as what's it that I'm looking for....I can't tell you other than you just gotta have that thing about you!
Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Basketball, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Fish, Horses
Bigger the dog the more I trust it---love befriending a horse with peppermints and hell I love me everything about fish,prefer them on my hook!
As far as locally I'm going to say, thats none of your business! I do love Hatteras, the dutch country of PA and Jersey....
Anything random that involves just getting away from reality! Usually driving wherever I end up and if I'm lucky a pole in my hands-tapping into my inner child-rummy 500 with grandpa!! oh and getting you to smile!

IBM Smarter Building Technology Helps Schools Cut Costs
Three of the US' largest school districts are using IBM Smarter Building technology to reduce operating costs and generate millions of dollars in new revenue streams.
The School District of Palm Beach County in Florida, Portland Public Schools in Oregon and Clark County School District in Nevada are using the software to make "smarter," more energy-efficient decisions about how their physical assets, such as school buildings and facilities, are used, according to the tech giant and districts.
The School District of Palm Beach County, the 11th largest school district in the US, used campus vacancies during non-school hours to provide about 3,000 room and building leases annually to commercial and nonprofit organizations. This generates additional revenue for the district — but the manual leasing and contract processes are time consuming and expensive to maintain.
To better manage this cost and reduce administrative paperwork, SDPBC implemented IBM Tririga across its 187 schools. The software has helped the district increase its leasing revenue and is expected to generate $4.5 million this year by better utilizing its buildings, streamlining the leasing process and modernizing its management capabilities.
The largest school district in the Pacific Northwest, Portland Public Schools' buildings are, on average, about 70-years-old. This makes bringing modern technologies into classrooms across the 9 million-square-foot school district challenging. Using IBM Tririga, PPS can prioritize modernization efforts throughout its schools. The smarter buildings software also helps PPS create more intelligent, predictive and efficient maintenance policies and practices.
As a result, PPS can now quickly identify locations where structural updates are required within classrooms, increase the speed at which schools fix broken lights, pipes and other infrastructure, and predict when general repairs are needed. For example, if a water main breaks in one of the schools, the system automatically alerts the maintenance department about the location and type of problem.
This has enabled PPS to reduce facilities management costs by 15 percent while improving speed of modernization by 46 percent, the district says.
Clark County School District, the fifth largest district in the US, chose IBM to help update its maintenance systems and practices, and increase energy efficiency across its 36 million square feet of building space.
IBM Maximo software allows the district to prioritize, respond to and repair more than 110,000 work orders generated each year at CCSD's 392 schools and administrative buildings, across 8,000 square miles.
Analytics also give CCSD insights needed to predict and prevent future maintenance issues. During one instance, the school noticed a slight change in usage of one building's HVAC system. This fluctuation was analyzed against normal usage and an alert about the abnormality was sent to staff, preventing a massive electrical issue that would have caused thousands of students to be transferred, the district says.
IBM's Smarter Buildings software has helped CCSD increase the percentage of actual billable hours spent on campus improvements and repairs — from 34 percent to more than 50 percent — according to IBM.

Theology as Performance breaks new ground in the growing conversation between modern theology and philosophical aesthetics. Stoltzfus proposes that significant moments in the Western development of the concept of God, in particular as represented in the figures of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, have been deeply influenced by concepts and approaches borrowed from the discipline of musical aesthetics. Each thinker develops fundamentally different ways of writing about God that have in significant respects been derived from each one's reading and writing about music. The aesthetic implications of Schleiermacher's so-called subjectivist turban, Barth's objectivist reaction, and Wittgenstein's language-game pragmatism can thus be fully understood only by attending to the musical culture and distinctly musicological discourses that gave rise to them. Stoltzfus constructs two trajectories of thought with which to trace theological reflection upon music throughout the pre-modern period: the traditions of Orpheus and Pythagoras. Schleiermacher's aesthetic approach, then, becomes a modern representative of the Orpheus trajectory, and Barth's approach a representative of the Pythagoras trajectory. Stoltzfus interprets Wittgenstein as putting forward a radical critique of these trajectories and pointing toward a third, "performative" theological-aesthetic method. Theology as Performance offers a provocative rethinking of the aesthetic roots of modern theology.

If you change travel adjust to 75% on "+" and "-" as recommended in the manual, you will get now get 50% to 87.5% pitch range from mid-stick to full-up. If you leave it at 100% you will get 50% to 100%. More pitch travel per unit of stick movement will make it more "jumpy" for a more novice pilot not used to making small pitch adjustments during flight. I've seen it myself on my own heli, so I know it's true. |
Jan 06, 2012, 10:27 AM | |||
Effectively the 65% setting becomes the new 100% as the travel adjust limits or resets your servos end point back from true 100% full travel. This is why it is also called EPA or endpoint adjustment as it permanently changes what your tx see at the servo's 100% movement. Travel has nothing to do with a pitch curve other than limiting your maximum positive or negative pitch on a one servo swash setup. Your pitch curve is what determines your stick input pitch from midstick to top stick. Though if you limit your servos through travel adjust to 85% then a 100% on your pitch curve will max out at 85% of the servos travel as the tx see's the 85% travel adjustment as now the servo's full movement (100%) As far as not making the servo move at all you have a 100% range for each side of the servo so 0% of each side of the servo travel would equal no movement. Also 125% travel does increase servo travel past 100% on normal servos so it gives more collective range by extending throw. Though do not do it with linear servos as it will ruin them with continued use like that. Quote:

Sorry - I wasn't clear. I meant that I changed my Pitch Travel Adjust for both directions.
I did, however setup my radio to use a lowest negative pitch of 42 and a highest positive pitch of 85 to see how I like it. I'll run out at lunch and give it a shot. I got my 34" EPP Edge stuck on the roof of my house last night and spent the evening trying to get it down. I was unsuccessful unfortunately. But I ran out of daylight so I couldn't try my new mCPx settings. I'll do that today while I'm waiting on the wind to blow my dang plane back down to terra firma! |

Indoor, maybe you can clarify this Travel Adjust related to Pitch range or servo movement with respect to another Heli I fly. That is a 450 Pro with CCPM and a normal FB head.
On my 450, I have the Travel Adjust values on all servos at 100% in both directions other than Rudder. I have thought that using the SWASH (CCPM mode) with something like 60-70 range for Pitch is what controls the maximum Pitch I can setup for flying. Should I be also using Travel Adjustment on the Pitch, Elev and Aile servos? BC |
Jan 06, 2012, 11:03 AM | ||
Though in the future you might find it easier to only limit your servos as much as you have to during proper mechanical setup. This way you dont have to reconfigure your endpoints when you want to use advanced curves or different curves with maximum possible servo movements If you figure out what maximum travel your heli can take at the beginning when you first get your heli, you can leave those endpoints set for the life of your heli. Then you only need change your curve to make a more mellow or more advanced flyer. |
Jan 06, 2012, 11:24 AM | ||
Cyclic/collective pitch mixing (ccpm) is different on your 450 since you have access to the ccpm menu by using the 120 degree/3 servo setting and not one servo setting. On the mcpx you have no access to ccpm mixing so you have to limit the pitch through the travel adjust. On my larger helis i like to max out all servos and adjust through the ccpm menu for collective and cyclic pitch |

Cool - we meet again! Yeah, I decided to get into helis about three years ago. Started out with the mSR right when they came out, and then picked up a BSR on which to learn CP. After a year of learning new swear-words & never progressing beyond the hover & slow-flight stage with that evil-handling bird, I pre-ordered the mCP X. Within a half-hour, I was doing FFF circuits, figure-eights, and was taking off, hovering, and landing nose-in. Within the first two hours, I had done my first roll, flip, and loop! Best money I've spent on the heli side of the hobby! I'm primarily scale & sport heli pilot who enjoys a few aerobatic maneuvers now & then. I wanted to go brushless & upgrade the tail - primarily for the consistency of brushless and to improve rudder authority. So far, I'm loving it! Good luck with learning CP - I found it to be a rewarding experience. I think the most difficult part for me was (and still is) to get the tail to come around in a scale manner during turns. HF, Usually, I am reasonably good with details. However, I did not measure the current because I don't have a convenient way of doing that on these UM aircraft. I wonder if Dylan has measured the current. Maybe someone on his thread has done so: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1405120 Joel |

AEHQ: Politics of Gay Marriage [VIDEO]
There's a new wrinkle in the 2012 Presidential campaign… gay marriage.
FOX News Radio's Mike Majchrowitz reports from the White House:
Audio clip:
From America's Election Headquarters…
President Obama's decision to embrace gay marriage may impact his re-election chances. Michael Cole-Schwartz with gay rights group The Human Rights Campaign thinks it will be a positive.
(Cole-Schwartz) "He is bound to see a real outpouring of support, in all kinds of ways, from the gay community."
But Frank Schubert with The National Organization For Marriage says this issue will cost the President.
(Schubert) "It will be a big issue. I think its going to blow up and backfire and could very well cost the President re-election."
Shubert says the issue will fire up Conservative voters in the many states where voters have decided to ban gay marriage.
At the White House, Mike Majchrowitz, FOX News Radio.

I was a senior in college and only one thing stood between me and Thanksgiving break- the National Cross Country Championship in Pomona, California. I had high hopes for my last cross country race. I wanted to go out on a high note before track season in the spring. However, I was not as focused and felt a little burned out at this point in the season. I was ready for a break and my heart just wasn't in it. The only thing I remember about this race was that I felt terrible and ran the worst race EVER. Seriously. Hands down the worst race I've ever run in my life.
I've never seriously considered dropping out from a race but I did that day. My parents were there and it happened to be the first race my boyfriend had ever seen me run. (He lived in California and I was in school in Arkansas.) I couldn't let them down so I kept running even though I felt like death.
When the race was over I did not care about my finish time. I only cared that it was over. It's actually taken me 12 years (I ran this race in 2000) to look up my time and place. I was curious so I decided to google it. It's amazing what you can find online! It turns out I came in 140th place out of 177. My time was 25:29 for the 6K race (6:50 pace for 3.7 miles). Yeah, I was having a bad {for me} running day. At the time I was just so relieved to be done.
So why do I remember this anniversary? Shortly after this race, on November 18, 2000 my boyfriend asked me to marry him. I was a mess and completely caught off guard but of course I said YES and never looked back!
Taken minutes after he proposed- I'm wearing my new engagement ring!! |


text: Description: PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND, which recently had its world premiere at Sundance 2008 and is based on Daniel Barnz's original screenplay, concerns a young girl (Elle Fanning) who longs to be in her school's production of Alice in Wonderland. After being cast in the lead role of Alice by her eccentric drama teacher (Patricia Clarkson), Phoebe reveals a unique talent but, much like Alice herself, is increasingly at odds with the world around her and begins to retreat into a world of her imagination. Though her parents (Felicity Huffman and Bill Pullman) initially see their daughter's unusual behavior as signs of creativity, they gradually realize that Phoebe is at risk of falling through the looking glass.

"GREAT Mild Cigar!"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Toro
This cigar is a Great mild cigar for anyone! I have purchased a few boxes of these and I have never had a bad one. Very consistent from box to box, ALWAYS draw and burn well. A solid cigar. It is mild, so someone looking for more punch may need to look for something else, but this is a perfect mild cigar. I have tried many and this is still my favorite light smoke. I always have plenty in the humidor, and I have converted many others to the Edge with a single smoke, FANTASTIC!

"To the NUB"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Double Corona
I have tried a lot of cigars and this one I finally I can say I smoked to the nub. I thought the first one was a boring but the second one was great. I think it s called LITE for a reason. It s a easy smoke and a decent amount of flavor. I have to have a case of these.

"Very good smoke for newbies"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Toro
As I am new to cigars I tried a box of the RPs. I found these smokes to extremely tasteful, easy draw and no bitterness anywhere in the smoke. Have purchased my second box now. will keep these in my Humidor from now on.

"Great Mild Smoke"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Robusto
Great smoke! I got this one in a sampler and let it mellow @69% for a week or
so. Mine had a great burn, almost perfect ash, mild but very flavorful and subtly sweet finish.
The draw was a little light, but it didn't get hot and there was plenty of tasty smoke.
I had to knock the ash off after the 1st third, taste was consistent throughout and very enjoyable.
I tend to prefer med-full cigars, but am finding a few with a stout filler and CT wrapper that I really like.
This is one of them, along with the 601 White Label, HC CT and maybe AB CT.

"Leaves nothing to be desired"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Toro
Still impressed. Forgot about one of these and it sat in my humi for about 9 months. Over that time the seal gave and this cigar saw less than favorable storage conditions. Re-humidified it for a few weeks and it came right back. Perfect burn, great light flavor. I love how you can let this cigar sit for 5 mins or more, pick it up, and immediately have a mouthful of thick, creamy smoke. The ash will grow to 2 +!
Doug in St Cloud June 3, 2013
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Double Corona
Pleasantly surprised at how good and consistent the smoke was. Another cigar to add to my rotation when I want a mellow smoke that doesn't overpower.

"Great Cigar"
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Robusto
My wife bought me one for Fathers Day 3 years ago. Found it to be one of my favorites. Great taste, smooth draw. The type of cigar I could smoke for 90 minute and light another. One of Rocky's Finest.
Randy in Round Lake Park Illinois June 28, 2012
Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Robusto
The Edge Light is a mild cigar. It was the first cigars I bought by the box. I wanted to try something mild before I moved into the fuller cigars. I thought it was decent, for a mild cigar The taste was "alright". It had a good, even burn, good draw, construction, and they looked good. Only complaint was that when I received my cigars, a couple of them had little green spots on the wrapper. I think I'm going to move more towards medium and full bodied cigars at this point. I just ordered a box of Rocky Patel Cuban Blends.

Rocky Patel The Edge Lite Toro
the first rp i liked, hay for a lite cigar this thing had nice flavor, the burn and draw were good, i smoked 3 of them they seemed all consistant, not bad at all, i will look for them in a slighty larger size...and i"ll try them again

"Fantastic Cigar, Price Rising"
For those who like Dunhill Aged Dominican, Ashton classic, LFD Mambises, this is your cigar. Ignore those who don't like it because it doesn't give you nicotine sweats. It's a perfect subtle, complex, mild to medium cigar!

'The Invention of Wings': What's fact and what's fiction
(Read article summary)'The Invention of Wings' by Sue Monk Kidd is receiving rave reviews and was recently selected as the latest pick for Oprah Winfrey's revamped book club. But how much of the book actually comes from history?
The novel "The Invention of Wings" by "The Secret Life of Bees" author Sue Monk Kidd seems to be everywhere right now. Oprah has chosen the novel as the latest pick for her revamped book club, Amazon is featuring the book on its January "best-of" list, and enthusiastic reviews are now appearing in major publications.
"The Invention of Wings" tells the story of Sarah Grimké, a real-life figure and daughter of one of Charleston's leading families in the 1800s who along with her sister was banished from Charleston for her talk of African-American equality. In Kidd's novel, Sarah and Hetty – a child slave also known as "Handful" – alternate as narrators. The relationship between the two girls begins when Hetty is given to Sarah on Sarah's eleventh birthday to serve as her maid.
So how close is "The Invention of Wings" to history? One important detail is different. As depicted in the novel, Sarah teaches Hetty to read when the two are young and both Sarah and Hetty are punished. In real life, Hetty was given a severe beating and then died of "an unspecified disease" shortly thereafter, according to Kidd. But Kidd says she knew she had to keep Hetty in her story.
