Fourth inning again proves to be Lynn's undoing
Fourth inning again proves to be Lynn's undoing
For the second time in the National League Championship Series, the fourth inning got away from the Cardinals' second-year right-hander, quickly and strangely. Lynn again didn't make it through the fourth, again allowing four runs and again suffering at least a little bad luck on some not-so-hard contact.
At least the sequence was different this time. In Game 1, Lynn saw bloops and dunks turn into hard contact. In Game 5, a couple of hard-hit singles gave way to a steady stream of dribblers and weirdness -- and one critical error -- that finally chased him from the game. The bottom line was all the same, though.
When asked if he saw similarities between the two-out troubles from the two games, Lynn dryly replied, "Yeah. I didn't get the third one."
Lackluster Lance
Game | Date | Opp. | Res. | Inn. | H | ER |
NLDS 4 | 10/11 | @ Was. | 2-1 L | 0 | 1 | 1 |
NLDS 2 | 10/8 | Was. | 12-4 W | 3 | 3 | 2 |
NLDS 1 | 10/7 | Was. | 3-2 L | 1/3 | 0 | 0 |
NLWC 1 | 10/5 | @ Atl. | 6-3 W | 1/3 | 0 | 0 |
Lynn had hoped for, and expected, better things this time around. He had four days of rest and a normal routine between starts. In Lynn's previous outing, he was coming off an NL Division Series in which he worked repeatedly in relief. The thought was that getting back on a starter's schedule would serve him well. For three innings, it seemed to.
Then Marco Scutaro led off the fourth with a single to right field, and Pablo Sandoval followed with another line-drive single to right. Lynn struck out the Giants' most dangerous hitter, Buster Posey, on an excellent slider, bringing up Hunter Pence, and that's when things unraveled for the Redbirds.
Pence hit a comebacker to Lynn. The pitcher threw to second, attempting to start a double play, but the throw took a bizarre carom. It bounced off the front of the bag, skipped high and ended up in shallow center field, with shortstop Pete Kozma never having a chance to turn the double play. Scutaro scored and Sandoval moved to third, with Pence staying at first on the error.
Kozma was behind the bag, not in good position to make the turn, but would have at least had a chance with a good throw.
"I was late covering the bag," Kozma acknowledged.
Lynn took full responsibility for the play, though.
"I turned around and threw a ball into center field," he said. "I could have gotten myself out of the inning. It's definitely my fault."
Brandon Belt hit a soft liner to second base for the second out, and Lynn was close to escaping. But he walked Gregor Blanco to load the bases, bringing up Brandon Crawford. The light-hitting shortstop laid off one borderline pitch after another before staying with a curveball that was up in the zone, hitting a roller up the middle for two more runs.
Barry Zito's bunt then appeared to catch the Cards napping, bringing home the inning's fourth run, and Lynn was done. Reliever Joe Kelly struck out Angel Pagan to end the inning, but the damage was done as St. Louis trailed, 4-0.
It may be putting the cart well ahead of the horse, but there's some question as to how exactly Lynn will be used going forward in this postseason if the Cardinals advance. Jake Westbrook is making good progress from a strained oblique muscle and could conceivably slot into St. Louis' World Series rotation -- if the team gets that far.
In the meantime, Lynn was left to lament a frustrating game, turned upside down by a strange inning.
"I didn't give up a hit till the fourth," he said. "I had good stuff. Just another bad inning. And this time of the year, they're going to blow up on you if you give them that extra out. And I gave them an extra out tonight."

Braves, Brewers looking for offense in series opener
Red-hot Peralta looks to best Minor in first of four-game series
The Braves' season-opening series victory against the Brewers in Milwaukee proved to be a matchup of the two best teams in the Majors in April. Atlanta ended the month 17-9 while Milwaukee owned a 20-8 record when play concluded on April 30.
The Brewers rattled off nine straight victories following the series against the Braves, a stretch that saw Milwaukee take over first place in the NL Central on April 5 and not look back. Atlanta, too, holds onto first in the NL East.
However, May has not been as kind to either team. The Braves are 6-11 in the season's second month while the Brewers have proven slightly better at 7-9. Both Mike Minor and Wily Peralta take the hill hoping to regain their clubs' April magic.
Minor enters Monday's contest with a 1-2 record and a 4.24 ERA. In his last outing, the left-hander looked great in 6 2/3 shutout innings against the Giants.
Peralta's been great through his first eight starts this season, tallying four wins to go along with his 2.05 ERA.
Offensive slumps have played a major role in each team's troubles. Atlanta has scored two runs or fewer nine times in 16 games this month, and Milwaukee has tallied only 3.5 runs per game in its past 10 contests.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke believes his team's aggressiveness at the plate, at times, exacerbates their offensive woes. The Braves, too, struggle with overeagerness in the batter's box.
Atlanta and Milwaukee entered Sunday with the two highest swinging-strike rates in the Majors at 11.9 and 11.5 percent, respectively, according to FanGraphs.com.
"That's when it's tough, and we knew we'd go through these things with this lineup," Roenicke said. "You just hope when you're going through it that a couple guys are still hot enough that you can get some runs."
The Braves also entered Sunday making contact on only 75.3 percent of their swings, the lowest rate in baseball. The Brewers were not much better, ranking 27th in the Major Leagues at 76.5 percent.
Atlanta has struggled despite its mostly injury-free season as Milwaukee can at least blame its batting problems on injuries to Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Jean Segura. Carlos Gomez has missed the past two games due to back and stomach issues.
"It's always challenging, but unfortunately, it seems to be today's game where players get hurt," Roenicke said. "So it's always something going on, somebody's injured and on the DL and it's rare that you don't have anybody on the DL. Last year, I got quite used to it, unfortunately."
Brewers: Ramirez taking his time with hamstring recovery
• Third baseman Aramis Ramirez plans to start participating in baseball activities when the Brewers arrive at Turner Field on Monday for a four-game set with the Braves.
Ramirez was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring, which is typically a tricky injury. He plans to do some light jogging on Monday and said he'll have a better idea of his progress after that. Roenicke stressed the importance of being cautious with Ramirez's hamstring.
"You do [have to be cautious] because you can't do it again," Roenicke said. If you do it again the next time, it's a month or more, so you really have to be careful."
Said Ramirez, "You don't want to rush it, especially a hamstring. So hopefully everything goes well."
Braves: Club loses first challenge
• Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez lost a managerial challenge for the first time in his sixth try this season on Sunday in St. Louis. A Dan Uggla throw pulled Freddie Freeman off first on a potential double-play grounder from Allen Craig.
Craig was initially ruled safe before Gonzalez issued the challenge. After a review lasting one minute and 42 seconds, the call stood.
• The Braves plated two ninth-inning runs on Sunday in a 6-5 win against the Cardinals. It was the most runs scored by Atlanta since a 7-5 win against the Mets on April 19 at Citi Field.
Worth noting
• The Braves lost three straight games in which they have scored first before winning on Sunday. Prior to Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Giants, Atlanta had won 18 straight games when scoring first. It was the franchise's longest streak since winning 19 straight when plating the game's first run in 1983.
• The Dodgers (14) are the only National League team with more road victories than the Brewers' 13 this season.
• Craig Kimbrel needs only four more saves to tie John Smoltz's franchise record of 154.
• Marco Estrada allowed a pair of home runs in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs, increasing his total allowed this year to 12. That ties the Brewer with Kansas City's Jeremy Guthrie for the Major League lead.
• Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks' two-run homer in the fifth inning of Sunday's game was his second homer in three games.

Blue Jays try to turn season around against Rangers
Toronto just one game over .500 after leading AL East in first half
With their struggles continuing in their first game after the All-Star break, the Blue Jays will look to Marcus Stroman to even the series against the Rangers Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays are 2-9 in their last 11 games and have lost three straight games. Toronto dropped Friday's series opener, 5-1, with starter R.A. Dickey giving up all five runs in his seven innings.
"We have to play good for a few weeks, consistently," manager John Gibbons said of his injury-depleted club, which has fallen to just one game over .500, at 49-48, after a long stretch atop the American League East. "We need to do that. We're still in this thing. It can go one way or another."
On Saturday, the Blue Jays hope Stroman, who is coming off a start in which he gave up six runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Angels, can do better than Dickey fared Friday. The rookie right-hander is 4-2 with a 4.05 ERA this season.
The Rangers, who are struggling mightily themselves -- they are in last place in the AL West at 39-57 -- will counter Stroman with right-hander Colby Lewis.
Lewis is 6-6 with a 6.54 ERA. Like Stroman's, Lewis' last start came against the Angels -- the day after Stroman's, in fact -- and Lewis got shelled twice as hard as Stroman did, giving up 13 runs in just 2 1/3 innings.
Blue Jays: Mills added as long man in bullpen
The Blue Jays on Friday optioned reliever Chad Jenkins to Triple-A Buffalo to make room on the roster for lefty Brad Mills, who was claimed off waivers from the A's.
Mills, a fourth-round selection in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, will be the long man out of the Blue Jays' bullpen, Gibbons said prior to Friday's game against the Rangers.
That means Todd Redmond will be moved out of the role.
"We'll give Redmond a little more work," said Gibbons. "We'll get him in some tougher situations and see what he does."
Mills made his big league debut for the Blue Jays in 2009, but he has moved around a bit in recent seasons. He was traded to the Angels in 2011 and claimed off waivers by the Rangers last season. Texas released Mills on July 18 of last season.
Mills has a career record of 4-4 with a 6.98 ERA in the Major Leagues. He signed with Milwaukee before this season and pitched to a 4-2 record and a 1.56 ERA for Triple-A Nashville. Mills was then acquired by Oakland for cash considerations in June, and he went 1-1 with a 4.41 ERA for the A's.
Rangers: Ex-Jay Arencibia makes his return to Toronto
Rangers first baseman/catcher J.P. Arencibia returned to Toronto as an opposing player for the first time for Texas series' opener against the Blue Jays.
He made it count, blasting a three-run homer in the seventh inning off R.A. Dickey that blew open the game, pushing a 2-0 lead to 5-0.
Arencibia, who had his contract purchased from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, had an up-and-down ride with the Blue Jays, who selected him in the first round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft. The Blue Jays non-tendered Arencibia in the offseason after he spent parts of four seasons with the club before he signed with Texas.
"This is where it all started for me," Arencibia said. "I have a lot of memories. This is home for me. It was home for me for a long time. I spent a lot of hours in this dome, in this city. It's different to come back, but I'm excited to be back."
Arencibia became an instant fan favorite in Toronto after going 4-for-5 with two home runs in his Major League debut at Rogers Centre back in August 2010. His relationship with the fan base strengthened due to his active community work, but took a downward turn as a result of his struggling play in 2013 -- he hit .194 with a .227 on-base percentage -- and well-documented social media and radio spats with Toronto reporters.
Worth noting
• Toronto has won six of its last seven series against the Rangers in Toronto, but the Blue Jays will have to win their next two games to make it seven of eight.
• Despite being on the DL, Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion became just the seventh player in MLB history to record 25-plus HRs/70-plus RBIs prior to the All-Star break in consecutive seasons, and the first since Alex Rodriguez and Lance Berkman did it in 2001-2002.
• Shin-Soo Choo will not play the outfield at all during the Rangers' three-game series in Toronto, manager Ron Washington said. Choo served as the club's designated hitter Friday and is likely to get a day off so third baseman Adrian Beltre can get a game at DH.

About Movie 43
A series of interconnected short films that follows the exploits of three kids as they search the bowels of the Internet to find a legendary banned film. If the idea of a man dressed as a leprechaun headbutting someone is indescribably hilarious to you, then this film will rock your world. Terrible parents, nerds, menstruation and inspirational sports films are just some of the subjects up for lampooning as all sense of decency and generosity to your fellow man goes out of the window. And it's stuffed to the gills with Hollywood actors doing rude, crass and inappropriate things: from serious Oscar-nominated people like Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman and Terence Howard, to comic actors like Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Anna Faris and Leslie Bibb.

America is the richest country in the world. We can promote peace by helping poor and very poor people in the world. We could pay for it easily if we stop the war in Iraq and use some of those funds to reduce poverty.
The poverty levels in the countries of the world seem never to affect the leaders of those countries. Saddam Hussein didn't seem to feel the pinch with all his palaces, Mexican politico's don't seem to be destitute nor do any other leaders who have populace's suffering tremendous poverty. Why don't these people be held accountable and perhaps replaced with leadership who will lead their people to self-sufficiency and out of the grips of poverty? It's obvious the U. N. is either clueless or rueful of fulfilling this premise so maybe a new world agency needs to be developed that will address the real causes of world poverty.
Why do politicians insist on using tax payer money on projects that do not help americans.
Apparently we pay too much tax, since we can give it away to other countries and organizations. Maybe they should lower our taxes and let us keep some our own money if they can't find something better to do with it.We don't need this bill to "send money to impoverished nations"….the impoverished are flooding across our borders, especially our southern border, by the millions to come and get the money and save us the trouble of sending it! And the ultra liberal weenies want us disarmed and just allow million upon million of illegal aliens come here and take just about everything we own and not even have a gun to defend our homes while they do it!
We here in Texas don't have to drive or fly on vacation to Mexico because half of Mexico that we give on average of $93,000,000.00 in foreign aid to EVERY YEAR has moved their flotsam and jetsam here and saved us from going to that trouble too! For the illegal Mexican aliens here for the give the U S A away door prize its VIVA MEXICO AND CINCO DE MAYO…..EVERY DAMNED DAY! So MERRY YACHEE you liberal weenies. You support the world out of YOUR pocket NOT MINE!
Looks like bill this is following the UN lead; as usual to nowhere. When there are governments that prevent economic progress in their country, why should we help that government stay in power? Picture Zimbabwe, the former breadbasket of Africa, where the people are starving under a tyrant's misrule. Better that we send the people weapons and food if we really believe in helping humanity in such countries lift themselves up from poverty, establish representative government and the rule of law.
That sounds cruel, but since oppressive governments are don't seem to fall easily without outside force being applied and when they are in effect propped up by international aid, why help them remain in power. Is that being a humanitarian? When we do intervene over human rights, as in Somalia, those very people who cry for helping the people abandon our efforts when Americans are placed in danger and killed. Are humanitarians risk aversive when help can be given to make permanent changes in a country or do the NGOs want "job" security?
I also laugh at this attempt by Senator Obama since he apparently will not help his grandmother in Kenya; she lives without running water nor electricity and is a women he honors as he said in his March 8, 2008 International Women's Day message. No personal responsibility here. So instead he initiates a bill that will send my money via taxes instead of his money when he and his wife had a $4.24 million gross income in 2007; but he has no problem with supporting his vile, anti-American minister to the tune of $26,000.
Senator Obama seems a bit to hypocritical to me and also to darn free with American's tax money.
The only solution is booting the UN out of the US and out of NY. Stop ALL ALL FUNDING OF THE UN! This guy does not deserve to be President of GM let alone the USA. He is a extreme-liberal that will take the USA down.
Extremely hypocritical I would say.
Another thing or two about Obama and his…ahem…"first time I've ever been proud to be an American" wife.
With "her" attitude I wouldn't let her sweep and mop the Lincoln bedroom in the White House, much less accept her as the wife of a seated president unless she got down on her knees on world wide T V and apologized to the citizens of this nation.
Second, with "her" demonstrated attitude, rest assured that if Obama IS elected that every black extremist in this nation is going to line up at the White House and put pressure on Obama to make "the we want something for nothing caws our ansesta's wuz slaves" reparations.
What blacks in this nation ought to consider where they would be today, if they were lucky enough to be born and live, if there had been an America that never had slavery
on this continent. There is definitely plenty of debt and poverty in the world. But, we should first consider our own problems here in the US before making any more commitments outside the country than we already have. We need to be focused on stabilizing Social Security and Medicare, strengthening controls on our welfare sytems and other social services, reducing medical costs, and reducing poverty at home before we look any further. Once we get a better handle on our own domestic issues we will be better prepared to assist elsewhere. We are already the world leader in foreign aid and have been for decades. This would only committ us further.
What in reality our government is doing in abstensia is sticking their hands in our pockets anytime they wish and take money that doesn't belong to anyone but ourselves.
I ask anyone in favor of this proposal what they would do if "I" walked up to them and stuck my hand in their pocket and took their money without asking for permission….It would be the very same thing as what the governement does.
It's one thing for our government to be charitable, but when they want hundreds of millions or billions more of our dollars to send overseas, they should request it by putting it up for voter referendum and let voters decide whether they approve of the proposal instead of a "don't even ask the voters, theft by taxation."
If U S taxpayers had no more to worry about than the federal government taxing them such issues as additional monies for foreign aid wouldn't be that much of a problem. But….
…the problem is all the other taxes collected from U S Citizens at the state, county, and local levels of government.
Some of the more populous states like New York, Texas and California have as many as 54 separate OVERT taxing agencies, not to mention all the hidden taxes collected through utility companies, the telephone/cable/satellite organizations.
Are we men and women and put an end to legalized theft by government or are we squeaky teeny mice that are going to continue to run in fear of govenment and hide in our little holes….those my friends and fellow citizens are the questions.
By the time the federal government withholds, income tax, FICA and Medicare, in addition to all the real estate and personal property taxes, sales taxes, school district tax, college district tax, federal highway tax, state and county road and bridge tax, sales tax, hospital district tax, etc. ad infinitum, our earned income dollars are squeezed to death at around the tune of $00.48 cents for every #1.00 of gross income we earn…and the so called government leaders have the gall to ask for more to send to foreigners, and subsidize illegal aliens here, and let hundreds of thousands of U S Citizens lose their jobs, lose their homes, and in many cases see families break apart and go begging?
This IS NOT what I spent 39 months fighting war in Southeast Asia for back during the 1960's.
So in my opinion it's time for America first and some good old fashion Jingoism for about ten years at least!
The U.S. is at a point where its own economy (not to mention security) is hugely and possibly permanently endangered, both because of energy dependence and budget shortfalls. As we cannot afford to be the world's policeman, we also cannot afford to be the world's sugar daddy. This is a wrongheaded Bill that should be defeated and deleted.
My years whirl past me. Swirling. Dry, broken grass hovering in a
spring breeze. Can I remember my experiences in war? Hardly. Fighting
for my country, my youth invested, seems such a long time ago, and so
unimportant. The calendar this year marks Memorial Day on the 30th of
May,2008. Have I lost something? The traditional Memorial Day, also known
as Decoration Day, is on the 30th of May. This observed Memorial Day on May
29th coincidentally allows for a national three day holiday. Such is
commercialism's capitalistic American display. But why do I feel so
stricken, like I have abandoned old friends from long ago? Their ghosts
consort with my floating years, and their spirits coast around my presence.
Another three day holiday! Memorial Day! Maybe me and the kids can go
camping? Or, to the beach? Memorial Day is fun! This is the
inconsiderate, thoughtless approach to this meaningful, and consecrated
moment representing one three hundred and sixty-fifth of our year. What is
the meaning of Memorial Day? Is it merely a three day escape from our
worldly duties? Or, is it the official beginning of summer? Is selling
more hot dogs at the ballpark the overriding clarification? Many souls,
sacrificed in war, in duty to America, are wandering. They drift in a
heavenly place, minus their future here upon earth. Tomorrows were forfeited.
Given up so our nation would invigorate free souls, aspire them to
freedom, and justly allow their lives lived as they prefer. Raising
offspring above restrictions, as they desire. Those lost lives giving we,
the living, what we want freely. Those are the souls we respect on Memorial
Day. This means it is a sacred day. Without retrospect, sacrifice is
mute. Old Glory does not wave by accident. It flutters in the spring air
revealing honor. The color red represents the blood bloom from those who
fell, those who clawed, those who cried in horrible pain. Those who died
fast. And, those who died ever so slowly. They did their duty. When I see
Old Glory waving on a sunny, end of May day, the pigment red gushes from
millions of souls, floating, not with us, anymore. They are amongst our
heroes, cajoling with angels with their champions, conquerors and
commanders. Friends and loved ones gather, over the rave, witness to those
who gave more than anyone should be required to relinquish. They did not
want to yield. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and when the
moment harshly struck them their fatal blow, they cried for their mother, or
their friend. Then there
were those, many of those, who knew exactly what they were giving. They
moved forward knowingly. They lost their lives so their mission would be
accomplished. Fools! Some intellects can say that. One would have to be
an imbecile to give up life, no matter what the cause. For a flag? Futile!
For a country! More pointless! For freedom! What freedom is there in
mortality? Yes, fools they may have been, but their numbers add up in an
awesome display of American loss! Veterans' Cemeteries, white badges
sailing row after row after row upon green grass, almost never ending,
creeping onto the horizon. Constant reminders of the devastation of our
human treasure. Mothers' tears, enough to fill an ocean to overflow.
Sweethearts, broken hearted, reading telegrams. Sons and daughters, many
unborn, wakening at birth to a devastated family suffering from a victim of
war there no more. And what does all this macabre math equal? Memorial Day
is the correct answer. Few Americans know a person who died in war.
Their family trees have lost some leaves, falling as they fought in one of
America's wars, or discarded in the peacetime military. We are a busy
people. We have business to capture. Our kids are in school. We have
chores. Mundane, or surrealistic. We are a spirited society, seeking
applications to improve ourselves and our communities. We are a helpful
populace, always there when the going gets tough to help those who have
suffered the tragedies of nature, whether a hurricane or a famine.
Americans are always the first on the scene worldwide bearing their gifts of
human spirit and abundance. This is why it is so puzzling that the meaning
of Memorial Day seems to lack substance to many of our own people. Even
with the day itself. Put back to accommodate a holiday schedule fixed by
some organism no one knows, yet powerful enough to do so, the day itself
lacks consequence to too many. Many who never knew a person who died in
service to America are wrought with the invisible pain of not feeling for
those who do. Americans take things for granted. We have so much. So
very much. Endless choices. These options are not available worldwide. Our
shelves are full. Unlike many in other nations of the world. So many are
empty or offer very limited selections. Those American fighting men and
women killed in battle whose souls are floating actually made available
these wondrous choices we have every day of our American lives. Yet, most
of our youngsters have no idea whatsoever what this means. They don't learn
this in school. We must teach them. For without knowledge, they may end up
thinking, or believing, all these marvelous selections came without
circumstance. Minus anything. Equaling no meaning.
Our nation needs to halt and perceive the flags and flowers on our
Veterans graves on this consecrated holiday. We need to lift a common
voice of adoration to those floating spirits of our onetime American
Warriors, and extol them with a salutation. We have not come that far with
our technological miracles of this millennium to become crass. We still
need respect. Our backs can not turn from formality. Our eyes can not look
away from custom. Our voices must not resonate in silence against honor and
glory. To do so will leave us hollow, only to fill us with that which is
desolate and lacking potential. This is not the true meaning of Memorial
Day. The heartfelt significance requires reminding. Story telling. Wisdom
being passed on from our Veterans to our younger generations. An
interpretation certified by those who remember the horrors of war. Without
this core, our society can not remain genuine. It becomes contemptible. It
rots from within. These floating souls of our lost American Warriors are a
powerful force, for they live within our hearts. They constantly seek
justification for their contributions, and they are real within us. Such is
what our American substance stands for, where character is developed,
individually is guaranteed, and a community, a nation, survives.
America enters the 21st Century as the most powerful entity
humankind has ever experienced. America permeates this next century with
vast responsibilities. Our children must bear this promise. We can not
turn our backs on these bygone descendants, nor can we do so upon
ourselves. Memorial Day offers us the opportunity to express a moment of
solitude where each of us can personify in our own way what we feel. I
only speak for my myself, as one who has bared his soul to the dread of
war. So my father did, and his father's father before him, and their souls
float amongst the multitudes. My mother and her mother held their Veterans
after they returned from war, tears streaming down their cheeks in gratitude
for their safe return. And there were those in my ancestry who did not
return from war. And their mothers' tears soaked the pillows on beds for
generations to sleep upon. Their souls are the dreams that drift amongst
the floating, gathering at the end of May in the breeze of summer's coming,
in the cool glass of lemonade at the child's street side stand, in the
cheers at the ball game from the crowd rooting their team to victory and
enjoying the best hot dogs in the world. Let us all stop for a moment,
whether it is on the traditional day, or the observed Memorial Day, or even
at the end of May, and reach for those floating souls. Let us reveal to
them how much we cherish their sacrifice for our free people. Let these
memories harvest our recognition of the meaning of Memorial Day in a very
simple word. And let that word, simply stated be: THANKS!!!Global Development Matters
Greatly considered in the food price problem and illustrious Congress and Democrats. The capital organization works for the freedom loving peoples of the world and fantastically launches programs to stop poverty. Wonderfully helping the pregnant countries. Gravid divining the saving of lives of and asserting what they know is best for the meek and unassuming shamed poor of the world.
The comment is for the good Americans, Democrats and Open Congress. Accept it for what it is and just a deferential and submissive foreigner learning from dignified and noble America. If it is deleted, I'm sure Open Congress knows what is best for these baseborn and simple people.
Global Development Matters,
Glad to hear you feel that way…and since you do feel that way, I'm sure you won't mind it a bit when I grab your wallet and give HALF your money away to people around the world that won't even try to take their own nations under control and develop them.
I donate to charity and do it gladly on a VOLUNTEER basis…but when somebody, anybody, including congresses and potential presidents start taking money from my tax money that I have no choice in saying how much of my income is taken or where, how, and whom it's spent on…I get real mule-ish and talk down to idiots and their idiotic professions.
Obama has no right to try and take away our sovereignty and freedoms.. Creating a global tax for the United Nations to take yet an additional .7% of our incomes to feed the hungry on top of what we already give which is more than any other nation. This bill would give the globalists "UN" the right to increase that tax anytime they want, come into our countries and take away our guns, and gives them the right to control our seas and borders.. Is this the kind of change you people want..??? Your country controlled by the united nations…
The point of the bill is retarded, whether it mandates spending by the executive branch or not. The senate and Obama should be doing somehting wothwhile with their time and status, not introducing/passing/debating bills that as one loser in here says "makes us feel good". It reinforces Obama and his ideology, which is to redistribute the wealth of this nation in a way that he sees is best. This completely contrary to the intent of our founding and is NOT in the best interest of this nation. Giving hand outs to the poor does not and will never end poverty it only drags others into it.
it's gonna cost over $800 BILLION over 13 years!!! If you want to give money to other countries and poor people, that's your choice (We have a couple Children's International kids). But don't take my money for your unConstitutional projects!!! I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat…it's illegal! Donate to a non-profit if you want to feel good. The money will be better spent anyway.
Currently, U.S. global development policies and programs are scattered across 12 departments, 25 different agencies, and almost 60 government offices. Increased coordination is sorely needed to be effective.
The Global Poverty Act, S.2433, is an authorizing piece of legislation which sets a directive for those departments under the Secretary of State to create a plan to address the first United Nations Millennium Development Goal.
This bill is NOT an appropriating piece of legislation that would direct any new funds (or global taxes) to United States foreign assistance. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this legislation would cost less than $1 million to implement.
S.2433 does not prejudge what the strategy should be, only that a strategy should be created.
The Global Poverty Act does not subjugate the United States to the will of the United Nations. The strategy would apply only to those programs administered by the United States and the strategy would have complete Congressional oversight.

Moderated Comment
How did this Bipartisian bill become so controversial? It is constructed to mandate an open dialogue between congress and the president on how to make our foreign aid MORE EFFICIENT. It appropriates NO MONEY. I dont know where people are reading all this BS about the bill. The Act is serioulsy 4 pages long. Read it.
It is too bad that the Act has been hijacked by election politics.

Hopefully this 3-4 includes some Indy films.
Thanks to DarthoftheDead for the submission.
I still really just do not understand why anyone is excited to see an old Han Solo. I just like to picture him as I last saw him in Return of the Jedi. Godfather 3 was extra crappy because they aged Michael. I mean, does anyone want to see what...a 70 year old Joker in a Batman movie? How about a Matrix sequel when Keanu is in his 60's? Maybe they'll make a Lord of the Rings sequel where everyone is in their 80's.
Maybe the reason Mr Ford is gonna be in the next movie is cause Han Solo will die in a Blaze of glory, just like he wanted all those years ago.....
Awesome. I knew it was gonna go down like this. Those three are the faces of Star Wars. Brand recognition is a good thing. Now all they have to do to make my day is announce that the Solo twins are in. They don't have to follow the books but the characters themselves would fit in great with the idea of Luke being the main Jedi Master of the whole galaxy.
They can do Jedi Knight Leia too and make Han some kind of military or government official. They can have Han be all grumpy about being domesticated and shit with kids and a real job. LOL The writers could take advantage and throw in some comedy that does not suck like the Prequels lame ass jokes did.
Actually this is a good idea. The empire was most likely not defeated at the of ROTJ... The rebels only destryed a fraction of just one fleet, and I do remember that the rebels were losing big time in the ship to ship fleet battle around the death star. For what ever reason, The Empire made a tactical retreat, thus giving the rebel alliance a pyrrhic victory. I strongly suspect that after the revisioned version with of all the partying after the victory at Endor, the Empire probably brought the hammer down hard. It probably took many many years and many battles to finally bring it down. The three of them would naturally be older and worn down from so much conflict and hard work. I think it would be a classy and great way to start closing down the era of the main three and passing on of the torch to others to continue the fight.
Axia777, I concede! You win!
My thought was that George's new trilogy would simply avoid using the original trinity (hallowed be their names) just to avoid messing with the Expanded Universe and having a clean slate to work with. Looks like they will get some work out of this though. How much and in what way we will have to see.
I don't mind at all. The fan in me wants so much to see Jedi Master Luke tutor younglings and also whip out that lightsaber and kick some ass!
Given todays technology all they would really need to do is get them to lend their voices, then just their characters could be animated like Avatar. The technology is good enough that we couldnt tell the difference.
The next trilogy could take place one day after the end of ROTJ if thats the case
The "two for three films per year" comment was clearly simply Kennedy misspeaking. She obviously meant a film every two or three years.
No monkeyfoot, we all win. This is going to kick ass. I am so very excited that they are taking this all so seriously and are not trying to just make a quick buck off of the Star Wars name. I am confident that this will be the best Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back.

Alaska's Fisheries and Game Board Process
The Alaska fisheries and game regulatory process is among the most open regulatory processes in Alaska if not the nation. Alaska's fish and game users are encouraged to participate through appointments to the Boards of Fisheries or Game, service on one of 84 advisory committees across the state, submitting proposals for regulatory change, providing written and oral comments, and working with the boards at scheduled meetings. Work conducted by the boards of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is facilitated by the Boards Support Section.
Board of Fisheries
The Alaska Board of Fisheries consists of seven members serving three-year terms. Members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the legislature. Members are appointed on the basis of interest in public affairs, good judgment, knowledge, and ability in the field of action of the board, with a view to providing diversity of interest and points of view in the membership (see Alaska Statute 16.05.221).
Board of Game
The Board of Game is the state's regulatory authority that passes regulations to conserve and develop Alaska's wildlife resources. The Board of Game is charged with making allocative and regulatory decisions. The board has seven members, each appointed by the governor for a three year term. Each member must be confirmed by a joint session of the state legislature.
The commissioner is the principal executive for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; responsible for the protection, management, conservation, and restoration of Alaska's fish and game resources.
Joint Board
The Joint Board of Fisheries and Game set the regulations for advisory committee guidelines. These include the establishment of advisory committees, setting the number of seats by community if more than one community is represented on the committee, and setting the guidelines for uniform rules of operation. The composition of advisory committees can be changed by the Joint Board after they receive a proposal and meet to act on the proposal.
Advisory Committees
Advisory committees are the local "grass roots" groups that meet to discuss fishing and wildlife issues and to provide recommendations to the boards. There are 84 committees throughout the state each with expertise in a particular local area. Meetings are always open to the public and are generally attended by department staff and members of the public who can offer background information on agenda topics. Advisory Committees are intended to provide a local forum on fish and wildlife issues.

Brewers, Cards face off for trip to World Series
Adversaries from 1982 Fall Classic to begin NLCS on Sunday
Ultimately, the division race went to Milwaukee.
Once again, these teams will hook up, this time with a trip to the World Series on the line. The best-of-seven NL Championship Series will get under way Sunday at Miller Park.
The way both teams elevated their games at the end of the season, and into their respective NL Division Series, it seems fitting that these two Central heavyweights are matched up again.
But St. Louis manager Tony La Russa says it is more coincidence than fate that has brought them together.
"I don't think there's any script for this," La Russa said Saturday afternoon. "I think four teams got in from our league, and you could have mixed in the different combinations. It happened to be us and the Brewers in the same division.
"What that adds is we play each other a lot this season. That's just the postseason; you can never predict who's going to go to the next round and who's going to leave this one."
Adding to the storyline is a historical fact. These franchises met in the 1982 World Series, with the Cardinals winning in seven games. The Brewers were then in the American League. This version of the rivalry represents the first time that teams that faced each other in the World Series are meeting in a League Championship Series.
A month ago, such a meeting seemed even more improbable. On Sept. 4, the Cards were 8 1/2 games behind the Braves in the NL Wild Card standings. But St. Louis stormed through September and clinched the NL Wild Card on the last day of the regular season.
"I am surprised, just because of how far back they were," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "But they're really good. When they were playing at .500 ball, I didn't think that was the team they were."
For Game 1, Milwaukee will start right-hander Zack Greinke. St. Louis is countering with lefty Jaime Garcia.
La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan are trying to maximize how they use Chris Carpenter. On three days' rest Friday, Carpenter blanked the Phillies on three hits in a dramatic series-clinching 1-0 win at Citizens Bank Park.
La Russa and Duncan had similar conversations at the end of the regular season, figuring out ways to get Carpenter on the mound.
"The coincidence is that the last day in Houston, Dave and I started playing around with the Division Series," La Russa said. "I think you can rest assured we'll try to get Chris Carpenter as often as we can."
After the Cardinals beat the Phillies in Game 5 on Friday, La Russa joked about how to get the most out of Carpenter.
"So two days' rest four times," the manager quipped.
Now, Garcia gets the nod. He will be making his second postseason start. Garcia pitched effectively in his NLDS start, but he suffered a loss to Philadelphia. In Game 3, he was victimized by Ben Francisco's three-run pinch-hit homer. Those were the lone runs he allowed.
During the season, the left-hander was 13-7 with a 3.56 ERA. Against the Brewers, Garcia made two starts, and he was 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA.
Both pitching staffs will certainly be challenged in Game 1, as both teams are capable of plenty of offense. The Cardinals paced the NL with 762 runs scored in the regular season, while the Brewers were fifth with 721. And Milwaukee was first in the NL in home runs with 185.
"I think it's the best lineup in the National League," Greinke said. "It's just really deep. There really are no easy outs in the lineup."
In the NLDS, both teams had big performances from their big stars. Milwaukee left fielder Ryan Braun was 9-for-18 (.500) with four doubles, five runs scored, a home run and four RBIs. St. Louis' Albert Pujols was 7-for-20 (.350) with three doubles.
The Brewers send a former Cy Young Award winner to the mound looking to silence the Cardinals' offense. Last Dec. 19, Milwaukee bolstered its rotation by obtaining Greinke from Kansas City as part of a six-player deal.
Greinke, who turns 28 on Oct. 21, is playing deep into October for the first time in his eight-year career. The right-hander went 16-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 28 starts, including a 2-1 record and a 3.15 ERA against the Cards.
"[We] saw him a little bit in the American League," La Russa said of Interleague meetings with Greinke during his time with the Royals. "High-quality starter, a lot of ways to get a hitter out, very competitive. Kind of what you expect to face when you get into October."
Greinke is available for Sunday because he wasn't needed in Milwaukee's thrilling 3-2 win in 10 innings over the D-backs on Friday night. Had Game 5 with Arizona game gone further, however, Greinke was about to be called upon in relief.
"Yeah, Zack was warming up in the bullpen," Roenicke said Friday night. "He was probably going to come into that game next. So it was nice to get him a little bit of work."
The way Greinke's between-starts schedule was, he was lined up to throw off the mound on Friday anyway.
During the season, six games separated the Brewers and Cardinals in the division standings. But the teams were 9-9 against each other.
Overall, the Brewers' 96 wins were second most to Philadelphia's 102 in the NL. At home, however, Milwaukee stands alone. With a 57-24 mark at Miller Park, the Brewers had the most home wins in the big leagues. They were able to build upon their home success in the NLDS, winning all three times against the D-backs.
It took 10 innings in the decisive fifth game Friday to advance Milwaukee deeper into the postseason than the franchise has been in 29 years. Nyjer Morgan's walk-off single ushered in a new era of Brewers baseball.
The 2011 squad is the first Milwaukee squad to win a playoff series since the 1982 Brewers represented the AL in the World Series.
The Brewers are hoping to ride their emotional wave into the NLCS.
"This is a great place to play," Roenicke said. "The atmosphere was great in the playoffs as it was during the season."

Hopeful Cubs, Bucs face off on Opening Day
A new season is upon us.
And for the Cubs and Pirates, that once again means new hope for two organizations and fan bases in need of positive years.
In Pittsburgh, where the two teams open the 2013 season at 1:35 p.m. ET on Monday at PNC Park, the Pirates are again in search for the winning season that has eluded them for two decades.
For Chicago, now in the second year under the guidance of president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer and manager Dale Sveum, it means staying the course in a long-term rebuilding plan that started at the low of 101 losses in 2012.
But while the future is always in mind for Epstein and Co., the goal at the outset of 2013 remains the same for the Cubs as it does the game's other 29 teams: make the postseason.
"Any time you don't compete for the division or one playoff spot, the Wild Card or whatever, it's disappointing," Sveum said. "It doesn't matter if you win 92 and go home or lose 105 -- both teams are going home, whether one won 90 or one lost. It's always disappointing [to not make the postseason] because it's such a long season, 162 games, Spring Training. Anything is disappointing if you don't make the playoffs."
There is reason for optimism in Wrigleyville. The Cubs have a solid infield core of hit machine Starlin Castro at shortstop, a potential star at first base in Anthony Rizzo and a Gold Glove winner in second baseman Darwin Barney. Veteran left fielder Alfonso Soriano is coming off a season in which he drove in a career-high 108 runs and new acquisitions such as Nate Schierholtz and Scott Hairston look to help an offense that finished last season 14th in the National League in scoring.
A handful of signings bolstered the starting rotation, led by right-hander Edwin Jackson, and Opening Day pitcher Jeff Samardzija is ready to be fully unleashed after an impressive first season as a starter.
"This team has a totally different attitude this year," Samardzija said. "To see our lineup from top to bottom, and guys playing the game the right way and having a team approach, I think it's going to pay off huge for us. You've got guys like [center fielder David] DeJesus and Schierholtz who come out and play the game every day. They don't complain, they work hard and that's what it's all about. Now we need to go out and find ways to win games."
That's also what the Pirates are looking to continue to do. They improved from 57 wins in 2010 to 72 in 2011, then won 79 a year ago. Yet 2012 boasted Pittsburgh's second consecutive second-half swoon, as the Pirates once again finished in fourth place. But, players say, that is in the past.
Optimism abounds, as it should, with one of the game's best in Andrew McCutchen, power at third base in Pedro Alvarez and the steady-when-healthy Neil Walker at second and Opening Day starter A.J. Burnett leading the pitching staff.
"We're not going to answer any more last-year questions," Burnett said. "We have to get over the fact that it happened. This year is about to start."
And here it is.
Cubs: The bench bunch
Quality reserve players are key for any Major League team, but especially those in the Senior Circuit. Sveum is thrilled with the versatility on his bench, which includes Brent Lillibridge, Hairston, Dave Sappelt, Dioner Navarro, and, likely, Steve Clevenger.
"We have guys who don't strike out on the bench, we've got guys who put the ball in play, guys who hit the ball out of the ballpark -- they're two-way players," Sveum said before the club left Mesa, Ariz. "If Clevenger makes the team, you can pinch-hit for Navarro, pinch-hit for [Welington] Castillo. If Castillo is playing, you can use Navarro and Clevenger as pinch-hitters. It's a very versatile bench and for a National League team, it's nice for me to have all that kind of versatility."
• It's a fresh new season, but the Cubs certainly enter 2013 banged up. Right-handers Matt Garza, Scott Baker and Arodys Vizcaino and third baseman Ian Stewart will open the year on the disabled list.
Pirates: Burnett excited for first Opening Day start
Burnett has pitched in many big games in his career, such as the 2009 World Series while with the Yankees. But getting Monday's Opening Day start after his bounce-back 2012 has the righty eager to begin the season, both for himself and his teammates.
"I can't wait. To get to start it off is really exciting," Burnett said. "We're very anxious, have been anxious for a while. It's been a long spring, but there's a bunch of good, positive vibes heading north.
"Now we play games that mean something. It's time to go."
• Infielder Josh Harrison claimed the final bench spot, with the expectation that Brandon Inge (right shoulder blade) will open the season on the DL.
Worth noting
• Samardzija is opening 2013 where his '12 ended. The young right-hander was shut down following his Sept. 8 start in Pittsburgh, but he certainly went out on a high note, striking out nine in a complete-game win. Samardzija also held the Pirates to one hit in eight shutout innings in a July 23 victory at PNC Park.
• Burnett was 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA in three starts against the Cubs last season, including twirling a complete-game one-hitter on July 31.

Graduate School Resources
Information Sources On The Web
- The American Mathematical Society website has an impressive collection of resources: http://www.ams.org/programs/students/undergrad/undergrad
- The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics website also provides a lot: http://www.siam.org/students/resources/
- The American Statistical Association has an Education section on its website. Click on the "Graduate" tab on the left: http://www.amstat.org/education/index.cfm
- The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences website can be useful because it covers a broad range of math-related careers that undergraduates may not be familiar with:http://www.informs.org/Build-Your-Career/INFORMS-Student-Union
National Fellowships
There are several national fellowships that can be applied for over the web, although these are highly competitive and available only to U.S. citizens.
- The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships: http://www.nsfgrfp.org
- The National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate Fellowships (funded by the Department of Defense):http://ndseg.asee.org
- The National Physical Science Consortium Graduate Fellowships in Science and Engineering (funded by the national labs and the NSA): http://www.npsc.org
- The Society Of Industrial and Applied Mathematics has information about fellowships. Scroll down to "For Graduate Students": http://www.siam.org/students/resources/fellowship.php
- This site has a wealth of information based on data collected by the National Research Council. While survey data is not the most reliable sort of data and fine distinctions between programs are particularly unreliable, this is a helpful place to start your search. Once you narrow your choices, web sites for individual departments and programs can help as well: http://www.graduate-school.phds.org/rankings
Information Sources Not On The Web
Another useful source of information about individual programs is the yearly article ''Doctoral Degrees Conferred'' in the August issue of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society, which is available in the Science Library. For example, if you plan to work on a doctorate and one of your initial choices is not producing many Ph.D.s or not producing them in areas that interest you, this might be valuable to know.
A visit to one or more of your top choices can be very helpful. Talk to students there and visit the graduate advisor. A Grinnell student who went to that program could be a valuable resource; if you do not know any, department faculty and the Career Development Office may be able to help.
Financial Aid
Graduate students in the sciences can generally count on substantial financial aid. Although the national fellowships mentioned above are hard to get, you should inquire about a fellowship or teaching assistantship at all the schools to which you apply. Research assistantships often become available to students who do well in their initial years.
Career Resources
The American Statistical Association provides some explanation of the multiple types of careers a statistician may have: http://amstat.org/careers
Every December, a list of statistics internship opportunities for students is published in the education area of the ASA's website, along with additional listings as they come in: www.amstat.org/education/internships.cfm
Students interested in careers in Statistics or Biostatistics are encouraged to speak with Professor Shonda Kuiper or Professor Jeff Jonkman. This website provides career profiles, education and training information, and tools and resources for a career in biostatistics: http://www.biostatpharma.com/home.htm
Applied Mathematics
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has several resources here:http://www.siam.org/careers/resources.php
Both the American Mathematical Society http://www.ams.org/profession/career-info/career-index and the Mathematics Association of American http://www.maa.org/careers/ have much information about a variety of careers in mathematics.
Actuarial Science
The association's website, http://beanactuary.com/, provides a very nice explanation of this career choice. The Casualty Actuarial Society has a website called CAS Student Central that is for students interested in becoming a Property/Casualty Actuary. On it there are resources including study aids, skill-building tips, access to free job-specific webinars, invitations to networking events, etc.
Each year several Grinnell students take the actuarial exams, and sometimes there are study groups prepping together for these exams. We do have study materials for these exams on reserve for students as well. Recent Grinnell graduates who work in this field have offered the following suggestions:
- Courses containing exam material include: Probability and Statistics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Corporate Finance, Econometrics.
- Take Computer Science courses. This is a very important skill set that we use all of the time particularly in running actuarial models using various modeling systems and developing macros using Visual Basic for Excel.
- Two exams is what most companies look for in interns and full-time hires.
- Do not underestimate the actuarial exams. Everyone attempting them believes they are smart, and most of the time rightly so; yet pass ratios are very low. A lot of time and effort needs to be put into studying even if you are excellent at math. Be ready to put the time in.
- Try to take exams while you're in school.
- In the absence of two exams, Grinnell students must find ways to highlight strengths like communication (written or oral) and critical thinking, which are hallmarks of a liberal arts education and vital in our profession.
- Some roles are less about actuarial exams and more about a background in statistics, quantitative analysis, and presentation of such work.
- An alum at a small insurance company recommended students uninterested in taking exams should look for openings in "pricing" at small carriers.
Job search:
- Keep up with the actuarial community and hiring time frames:
- Be looking for internships early. I have seen a handful of Grinnell students requesting an internship in the spring, which is well after we are done with our recruiting.
- Join an actuarial group at one of the nearby universities; or at least get on their mailing lists so that you can stay in the loop. Drake and the University of Iowa both have thriving actuarial communities.
- Stay abreast of recruiting events at Drake and The University of Iowa. Both schools have actuarial career fairs.
- Prepare for your interviews. Polish your selling points.
- There is a ton of opportunity in Property and Casualty Insurance as a career field.
Use Grinnellians:
- For job searching, use the alumni network.
- Take advantage of Externships.

Women and computers in the 1960s and 1970s – photos of every day sexism
By Anorak on 21 January 2013 | comments 1IN the 1960s and 1970s, women had big hair and big computers. They also had short skirts. The men had trousers, and jobs that meant they had to peer over the women's screens to check the ladies' work. The women are all smiling. The men appear thoughtful. Everyone looks like they're trapped in a box:
