text: Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D We're doing a release today! Here's what's in it. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45162&th=8532#msg_45162 Today we're pushing a big release to Shapeways.com and I wanted to give you a run down on what's in it. The changes are broken down below into which area of the website we've worked on, and we get into further detail from there. Design Update * New look for products across the site! * New look for product detail page! * Faster page loads for most pages! Gallery Categories: * Popular Shops: The Shops page used to display the most recent shops, most of which hadn't been properly setup yet! Instead, we've got... * Per Page: We've changed the number of 'Rows' to be called 'Per Page' which controls the number of items displayed per page. It works more or less the same as before, just has a new name and different numbers. * Removed: Search Inside - Instead of searching inside the gallery, you can now use the new and improved search box in the top right to find what you're looking for. Search * Facets - You can now filter your search results by a few different criteria. We hope this will make it easier to find all the cool stuff on Shapeways! *** by Material *** by Price *** by Category *** by Customizable ** In Progress: Relevance ** Removed: Google Site Search ** Removed: Advanced Search Product Detail Page * Images: We've bumped up the image size to really make your products shine. The new image selector also loads faster and lets users easily click between your images, videos, and 3d renders. * More from this Designer: To increase sales of items in your shop, we've added a 'More from this Designer' area which features your popular items. * Pin It Button: With the rising popularity of Pinterest, we've added the ability for users to 'Pin' your designs and share them with the world. My Models * Add to Cart: You can now add models to your cart directly from your My Models page. Currently, the button will add one model in the default material to the cart. * Pending Results: Each time you update one of your models, you can now see how it will appear across the site! Because of this, we've introduced a small icon on the 'My Models' page along with a note to let you know when pending changes are being updated. Shop Page * Removed: Shop Categories Shop categories took you off of one shop and onto another. We want to encourage people to explore your shop more deeply, instead of to leave. Coming Soon * Better search relevance * Improvements to Model and Shop management In preparation for this release, we've exposed these changes to a handful of users, something we will be continuing, and expanding in the future. This has already helped us identify and fix key issues. Finally, I'm sure you'll still have additional thoughts, suggestions, and will notice things we've missed. To discuss those, please head on over to this thread. We will be considering fixes and further improvements after the release, based on that discussion. Thanks!

You cannot get $ values. It seems a just simple bug that can be fixed soon, so I wrote down here, not to the suggestion thread. PS. API doesn't work either... at this moment.]]> abite 2012-03-10T06:23:02-00:00 Re: We're doing a release today! Here's what's in it. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45209&th=8532#msg_45209 bugs? 1)My public shop tells me I'm selling 9 products, but more are (correctly) shown...not sure how you are counting? (this miscounting also happens in the shop sections, mostly less, sometimes more are counted...) 2)My shop page shows all my 17 products, but the 'per page' indicates only 12 are shown...? 3) I sometimes see the text 'no local config file' next to the Facebook like symbol in the Shop Details box. question: 1) how can I see in the 'My Models page which models I have released to my shop? As the shopping cart icon is shown with every product now...this is not so handy... 2) in my models you have now 12 or 36 products per page. any possibility to set the default to 36? (seems to be 12 now). If there are more then 12 products, it might be an intelligent solution to set the amount to 36 right away? BTW, the shopping cart API seems to be working for me (not sure that's the API the last message was mentioning?) Also the Shop Sections seem to be working, as is the $ currency.

The shopping cart page shows the dollar currency, but nothing happens when I choose $ in the [My Models] page. ...If you can, it seems that I'd better checked with other browers, not Explorer.

What I tried is... go to [My Models] page, go into an individual model page, click on [Select Country & Currency] option, select $(dollar), and then [submit] button. Nothing happens. In that option, [Choose Country] option also doesn't work either. If I go into [Edit Product] from the same page, it shows the another select option for changing the currency. It looks same as the last UI design. It works fine only in the page itself, but if I change the [Edit Product] option to [OFF], the next following page shows still EURO with the country image error. I think some jQuery functions don't work properly at this moment. Dario Scapitta Design. Same issues to me. ]]> abite 2012-03-10T09:16:19-00:00 Re: We're doing a release today!

Here's what's in it. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45220&th=8532#msg_45220 The issue regarding changing currency, seem to work for me, both in FF as in IE, both as being logged in as also when not logged in. I tested some permalinks, they all still work for me. But I have noticed earlier already, that -maybe when you upload a new version of a model-, you get a different permalink. But is all worked/works. Another bug I noticed however: only with IE 8 (not being logged in & I cleared cache already and restarted). When I change currency, in the material list, I get to see ALL materials, also the ones marked as 'not visible to public'. This is only the case with IE (FF no problem), and only after changing currency (before that it was fine in IE). Note I'm not logged in. (see attached screendump) Hello Shapeways: bad practice to do a new release on a Friday ! (unless your development/support team is working today/tomorrow, which I don't expect, but maybe you surprise us?).

We are working on correcting all of the bugs that you have reported and also taking into account some of the individual feature requests as well. Regarding the Friday release, specifically. We completely agree that a Friday (or weekend) release is not ideal, or the right way to do things. We will do our best to ensure that our future big releases will take place early in the week from here on out. Finally, one of the items included in this release was the test site so that a handful of users can login and test the release, along with our internal team and developers' automated tests. We pulled the 'launch' trigger too early on this release and didn't give our community enough time to test the site thoroughly. Our bad. We definitely have room to improve here and will continue to release sooner to the test server and also slowly grow the testing group so that more people have an opportunity to poke holes in the site before we go live. Thanks for your patience. Ana is going to lock this thread and we'll continue to respond to your concerns and answer your questions in this thread to keep everything consolidated: http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=4516 1&#msg_45161 ]]> bdickason 2012-03-10T21:09:09-00:00

22 February 2014 00:02 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Caustic soda consumption has levelled in Latin America as Brazilian alumina producer and major caustic buyer Alunorte gradually approaches normal operating conditions, regional industry participants said on Friday.
Although not yet at full rates, Alunorte's operations continue to improve. Standard production levels are expected in the near future, but no clear timetable has been made available, according to market sources in Brazil.
With demand more in balance with supply in the Americas, caustic soda prices in Latin America are gauged as largely stable, according to industry sources.
Import prices for caustic soda are assessed at $445-470/dry metric tonne (dmt) CFR Brazil.
Caustic soda prices in the Americas could face downward pressure from the new Dow Chemical and Westlake chlor-alkali plants starting up in the US in the first half of this year. Caustic soda price direction will depend on when commercial material becomes available from the new facilities, sources said.
The cost of energy is another key factor in determining caustic soda prices. This week natural gas prices finished the week at above $6.00/MMBtu, up from $3.5-3.9/MMBtu in November.
Caustic soda demand in Latin America remains steady from major consuming sectors, including paper/pulp, soaps/detergents, and from the alumina industry now that Alunorte is approaching normal operations.
Caustic soda producers in Latin America are Braskem, Mexichem, and Solvay.

Ike Evans, for example, likes to draw. He recently submitted an editorial cartoon which ran in the Morning News on June 28.
In the cartoon two soldiers were sitting together and talking about the somber mood in America regarding Iraq.
Evans, a 1998 graduate of Shelley High School, is in Iraq on his second deployment with the Idaho Army National Guard.
BLACKFOOT — Students attending National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Summer of Innovation have built and conducted a variety of experiments throughout this week. The students attended this camp at the Mountain View Middle School in Blackfoot.
"Attendance has been steadily growing but the average attendance has been 44 students each day," said Aaron Thomas, organizer of this science camp. Thomas is a professor in chemical engineering at the University of Idaho.
This is the second year for this program that is sponsored by NASA through the Idaho Space Grant Consortium.

He retired from the Ironworkers Local 732 at the age of 59, after 36 years of service. He worked in various areas around Idaho. Some of the projects he worked on were the Teton Dam and the Perrine Bridge.
THOMAS — A party was given to celebrate the end of the summer reading program at the Snake River School/Community Library Thursday. About 450 kids and their parents attended.
About 400-450 kids had registered for the summer reading program. It's estimated each child read about 20 books each. That totals from 8,000 to 9,000 books were read through June.
Kids registered for the summer program ranged from 2-3 years old to 15-16. A variety of books were read.
The Idaho National Guard brought a wall for the kids to climb. Kids played with a parachute and a hot dog lunch was served.
BLACKFOOT — Three men local law enforcement believe were operating a drug ring out of Blackfoot were arrested Wednesday night on federal charges following a three-month investigation.
BLACKFOOT – Three men who police believe have been dealing drugs in Bingham County and Southeastern Idaho since March were arrested on federal drug charges Wednesday. Two men, Paulino Rodriguez and Eduardo Jimenez were arrested in Blackfoot during a raid Wednesday night with a third man, Carlos Baldovinos arrested in Pocatello.
They will be arraigned on federal charges in Pocatello today. Officials seized 10 ounces and 13 grams of methaphetamines with a street value of $30,000 during the raid.

Important Notice: We purchased and installed this classified ads software because we thought it would be a genuine enhancement to the GT classified ads system. I still believe it is a far better

The box was not loaded on the trailer. We had to wait about an hour to an hour and a half while it was loaded. Very upset.
Timothy was great! We will certainly be using Uhaul in the future for any moving and storage needs.
I felt duped. The unit was WAY more expensive than I was quoted. The facility was crowded and the unit smaller than I expected. I am really disappointed but I`m stuck now so what can I do.
Not respectful to patron. patron information not up to date. Had damage to my storage bin not able to see what got damage. Overall would not use your company again
We were delighted with our service and the professionalism of the staff at the Gilbert Ave location. Will the manager went above and beyond! Kudos!!
The staff was courteous, but the Manager was kind of a dick - Mast III. Also, Uhauls storage pricing is rather high.
The person who helped us was rude.
Dbl charged, denied access to room many times after and during hours, grumpy unhelpful staff -cant do ANYTHING w/o a manager. smelled like a dead body and/or sewage, rodent damage everywhere
Office area was cluttered, did not project a neat clean image.
It was good
The customer service to very bad.
Staff was helpfull, loading and unloading was easy.
I think climbing ladders are a bit outdated and not safe. While there are ladders 1 must have to find, the floor is uneven and they aren`t the easiest to roll about.
why did i have to buy your lock?--just more expense at an already expensive time.
Staff was very helpful.
my things had been in storage for a couple of years, and when I called to get it shipped things went very smoothly and quick, thank you
The customer carts are a great feature to have. Thank your staff for all their help. Attaboy to all
the company that u Haul partner with didn`t have a license driversso I did not receive my boxes within the scheduled time. the U Haul staff however work great and trying to resolve the situation
Having the customer carts on site is a plus. Excellent all around.
This location provided excellent service! They were friendly and prompt and efficient! I`d recommend their services anytime!
Preorderedtruck,store unit appliance dolly.manager couldnotfind myreservations even with receipt didn`t get proper truck,unit, or dolly I paid for.manager then was disrespectful and ignorant.
Staff was rude and not familiar with their own operations. Not enough employees and always long lines of frustrated customers.
The motion lights could stay on for longer, than what they do, when I was getting belongings 0ut of the storage unit the lights went out.
I had an excellent u haul experience! Wonderful staff.

Question, I opted for the 5 year total Honda warranty, and I could cancel for full refund, it is quite pricy. Do members typically go with the extended Honda warranty or just the factory 1 year and "self insure"?
If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend you take the MSF rider safety course.
Instead of the extended warranty, I suggest you get good, protective riding gear, and wear it all the time.
If you have good riding gear, bank the warranty money for future maintenance, tires, gasoline, et cetera.

How does Fenugreek work?Fenugreek appears to slow absorption of sugars in the stomach and stimulate insulin. Both of these effects lower blood sugar in people with diabetes.
Are there safety concerns?Fenugreek might be safe for most people when taken by mouth for medicinal purposes. Side effects include diarrhea, stomach upset, bloating, gas, and a "maple syrup" odor in urine. Fenugreek can cause nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, facial swelling, and severe allergic reactions in hypersensitive people. Fenugreek might lower blood sugar. People with diabetes should watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and check their blood sugars carefully.
Fenugreek might be unsafe for children. Some reports have linked fenugreek tea to loss of consciousness in children.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
Bel Ami
7-11 Rue St. Benoît, Saint Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Not at all what you'd expect of this town, in terms of style and design — the Bel Ami is all simple modernity, rather than fussy muséification, and the palette leans to the muted and earthy, almost Nordic, avoiding the rich crimsons and pinks on display in Parisian grand hotels. This sort of elegant simplicity is no accident — it's an integral part of the signature style of the Franco-Chinese hotelier Grace Leo-Andrieu, who directed the conversion of this one-time print works into one of Paris's first contemporary-styled boutique hotels.
Stylish and functional comfort is the philosophy, and the execution is just about pitch-perfect. Guest rooms are spare and minimal, designed to maximize contrast with the bustle of Parisian street life, and lull guests into tranquility with diffused lighting and a palette of caramel browns and soft greens and blues.
A suitably chic lobby lounge serves cocktails, and the Bel-Ami Cafe serves a buffet breakfast in a bright and sunny environment styled after a family kitchen. There's no restaurant, and little in the way of luxury-hotel extravagance; the Bel Ami is meant to be more pied à terre than pleasure palace, an entryway into the Saint Germain-des-Prés district rather than an urban hideout. You're welcome to lounge about all day, but most visitors are here to do the shops and galleries of the surrounding neighborhood, or at least daydream about writing that Great Expat Novel over coffee at the Deux Magots.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
By Moonbot Studios LA, LLC
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
The award-winning short film is now an interactive narrative experience. William Joyce's "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore", blurs the line between picture books and animated film.
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, "Morris Lessmore" is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. "Morris Lessmore" is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

When's the next one coming!
My family loves this app. This book shows how brilliant the iPad and Ebooks can be for kids. Because it is so good, it is a bit disappointing that the last few pages with the little girl don't 'work'. I am sure that this will be fixed in the next update. It is definitely worth buying the app, your kids (and husband) will love it. Please make another one soon.
My grandchildren and I love this "book". We have read it together perhaps 20 times. We have moved from the interaction with the illustrations to the lyrical prose to the meaning of certain words in context.
We have gone from listening to reading ourselves.
It is a wonderful medium for communication with children. This is the real social net working.
Purchase the book. You won't be sorry.
I can't believe there aren't more interactive story books like this. Classic, wondrous, magical, beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes every time. My daughter 2.5 (and her dad) are spellbound by every moment and read Morris almost every single night. Truly magical iPad storybook interactive charm. Buy it. For goodness sake!!

Nick Ahmed Rumors
Diamondbacks Still Trying To Trade Aaron Hill
The Diamondbacks are still attempting to find a taker for second baseman Aaron Hill, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports on Twitter. Arizona has indicated that it will not finalize its Opening Day roster until tomorrow, which could be due in part to efforts to move Hill.
It appears that Hill will start the season on the bench if he is not moved, as manager Chip Hale tells reporters that Chris Owings will start at second with Nick Ahmed taking over at short (via Zach Buchanan of the Arizona Republic, on Twitter). Needless to say, it appears that the club would be pleased to find a taker for some of Hill's $12MM salary.
Of course, the 33-year-old Hill has long been the subject of trade speculation, but it has bee hard to find a believer in his bat after a rough .244/.287/.367 campaign last year. Hill had put up two straight highly productive seasons at the plate before that time, at least when healthy, but did not help his cause with a .189/.232/.208 slash over 53 spring at-bats.

West Links: Saunders, Gregorius, Lovullo, Tomas
In a lengthy and interesting piece, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times looks at the potentially fractured relationship between the Mariners and Michael Saunders following some comments made by GM Jack Zduriencik at an end-of-season press conference. Asked at the time what he felt about Saunders' future with the team, Zduriencik said, "…It's up to Michael. … He was playing well, got hurt, came back, got sick, came back again and did some nice things. But I think what Michael has to do and has to answer this to himself, is 'how do I prepare myself to play as many games through the course of 162 that I can possibly play without being setback by injury.' … some of these things need to be handled from a maintenance standpoint where he put himself in a position where he's able to compete through the course of the season."
Divish spoke to Saunders himself, who declined to comment on the situation. Saunders' agent, Michael McCann, said it was both "shocking" and "very disappointing." Said McCann: "These comments don't reflect Michael Saunders' work habits. They imply that that he's lackadaisical." Part of the trouble, Divish writes, is that Saunders had never before had his work ethic or preparation questioned by the Mariners, and to have that done in a public forum was hurtful. Zduriencik clarified that the comments he made could be applied to any player, and he was adamant to Divish that the organization is not planning on moving on from Saunders. However, he has previously identified corner outfield as a potential area to add some offense. Divish speculates on an offseason trade, though he also notes that even if Saunders is pushed to the role of fourth outfielder, his low salary (he should earn less than $3MM via arbitration) would be an acceptable price for that role, especially given his upside. Over the past three seasons, the former top prospect has batted .248/.320/.423 with 39 homers and 38 steals. I should note that Divish's entire piece is well worth the read, as this brief write-up doesn't capture nearly all of the quotes and information he compiled.
Here's more from baseball's Western divisions…
- The Diamondbacks should give strong consideration to moving one of their young shortstops if it can bolster the rotation, writes the Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro. The Snakes finished the season with Didi Gregorius, Chris Owings and Nick Ahmed all on the roster, but no room to play all three of them with Aaron Hill being owed $24MM through 2016 and prospects Jake Lamb and Brandon Drury both looking like third base options in the near future. (Lamb already received a taste of the Majors in 2014.) The team seems to view Owings as the best of the bunch, given his greater offensive ceiling, but both Gregorius and Ahmed have value to other clubs. Piecoro spoke to rival executives about each shortstop, with one stating that while Gregorius might not bring back "a Matt Harvey or a Jacob deGrom," he could be worth someone such as Rafael Montero of the Mets. Another evaluator told Piecoro that his club actually prefers Ahmed to Gregorius, so both could seemingly have good trade value.
- Though he's been a popular managerial candidate this year, Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo will not be interviewed by the D'Backs for their own managerial vacancy, reports Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (Twitter link). Lovullo interviewed with the Astros prior to their hiring of A.J. Hinch, he's already interviewed with the Rangers and will reportedly interview with the Twins as well.
- Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler tells Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune that they have "definitely expanded our international focus under [new GM] A.J. [Preller]." Lin examines whether or not that could mean a legitimate run at Yasmany Tomas, though as he notes, that would be an unprecedented move for the Friars. In fact, last season's signing of Joaquin Benoit to a two-year, $15.5MM contract was the largest free agent expenditure in franchise history, Lin points out. The largest contract in franchise history, he adds, is Jake Peavy's old three-year, $52MM deal. Tomas could cost double that amount, but the Padres have just $40.5MM committed to next year's payroll, and the $90MM Opening Day figure from 2014 could rise, ownership has said.
- After losing hitting coach John Mallee to the Cubs, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow spoke highly about Mallee's work to Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. Drellich points out that Mallee deserves some credit for the success of Jose Altuve and Chris Carter in 2014, although skeptics could also point to the strikeout problems some of the other team's young hitters had. Luhnow said he hopes to have a finalized coaching staff in place by month's end, and as Drellich notes, only pitching coach Brent Strom is a guarantee to return at this point.

NL West Notes: Lincecum, Petit, Colon, D'Backs, Rockies
The Giants are weighing whether or not to continue with beleaguered right-hander Tim Lincecum in their rotation, writes John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. Lincecum himself offered a frank, expletive-laced assessment of his recent performance and sounded aware that he may not make his next start. Shea spoke with manager Bruce Bochy about rotation candidate Yusmeiro Petit's struggles as a starter and excellence in the bullpen this year, with Bochy calling Petit's rotation work too small of sample to judge. Petit's recent bullpen work, however, has been nothing short of incredible, if not historic. He's retired 38 consecutive batters, striking out 16. As Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com points out (on Twitter), Petit is seven batters shy of matching the Major League record for most consecutive hitters retired. Lincecum, who is in the first season of a two-year, $35MM extension, has a 9.49 ERA over his past six starts and has totaled just 24 2/3 innings in that time. Baggarly tweets that for now, the team's Thursday starter is listed as "TBA."
Here's more from the NL West…
- While the most commonly linked team to Bartolo Colon (who is currently on revocable waivers) has been the Angels, ESPN's Buster Olney writes in his daily blog that the injury-plagued Dodgers are a candidate to place a claim as well (ESPN Insider required). Olney points out that Colon's start against the Dodgers tonight could serve as an audition.
- Diamondbacks chief baseball officer Tony La Russa feels that his team can post a winning record in 2015, he tells Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. La Russa feels that the D'Backs can make improvements with their current roster solely by improving their approach at the plate and improving their baserunning, but he also cites the desire to make "two or three impactful moves" in the offseason, including the addition of at least one hitter and at least one pitcher.
- Zach Buchanan of the Arizona Republic writes that the D'Backs are in evaluation mode with middle infielders Chris Owings, Didi Gregorius, and Nick Ahmed. Additionally, the club is trying to determine how to mix in veterans Aaron Hill and Cliff Pennington. For the time being, GM Kevin Towers tells Buchanan that Owings will see more time at second base with Gregorius getting a look at short, but that doesn't mean Owings is being converted to a second baseman full-time. Hill, meanwhile, will see action at third, though a full-time transition there would block prospect Jake Lamb, Buchanan notes. In my view, Pennington is a non-tender candidate following the season and Ahmed could use more work at Triple-A, leaving three infielders for two spots. Hill is guaranteed $12MM in 2015 and again in 2016, making him difficult to trade, but any number of clubs would likely be interested in Owings, Gregorius or Ahmed in trades.
- The Rockies are further away from contending now than they were at the beginning of the season, opines Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. Saunders looks at Colorado's pitching predicament, noting that Tyler Chatwood will miss the 2015 season due to Tommy John surgery and Jhoulys Chacin's shoulder cannot be relied upon. Brett Anderson's injuries make it difficult to exercise his $12MM option, and Jorge De La Rosa could end up pitching elsewhere, as several sources with whom Saunders has conversed feel that there's only a 50-50 chance he returns. Add in the persistent trade rumors regarding Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez — Saunders feels the latter is more likely to go — and the offseason is rife with question marks and uncertainty.

D'Backs Preparing To Sell; McCarthy Drawing Interest
Though his ERA and win-loss record aren't much to look at (5.38 and 1-10), Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon McCarthy is drawing trade interest, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). A free agent at season's end, McCarthy has about $4.72MM remaining on this year's $9MM salary — the second year of a two-year, $15.5MM pact he inked in the 2012-13 offseason. Rosenthal notes that Arizona is likely to make multiple trades before this year's deadline.
While McCarthy's season looks rough on the surface, there are a lot of factors suggesting that he could quickly turn things around. McCarthy's .339 batting average on balls in play is 44 points higher than the league average, and he's sporting the best ground-ball and K/9 rates of his career (55.9 percent and 7.4, respectively). His fastball velocity has soared from an average of 90.8 mph over the past two seasons to 93 mph, and he's sporting his best swinging-strike rate since 2006 as a result. McCarthy has mostly been plagued by home runs this season, but his fluky 21.7 percent homer-to-flyball ratio figures to come down.
There's not much question that McCarthy will be available in trades. As Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports, the Snakes are said to be preparing to put a "for sale" sign on their roster and are weighing trades of multiple veteran players. GM Kevin Towers — who, despite the hiring of Tony La Russa, calls this July business as usual — told Piecoro: "[W]e have to look at being more open-minded of moving some contracts and some veteran players for younger players."
A fire sale may not be as easy for the D'Backs as it would for most teams, however, Piecoro cautions. McCarthy and fellow veterans Cody Ross and Aaron Hill are underperforming this season, which will hurt Arizona's potential return in trades. Other movable veterans such as Eric Chavez, Bronson Arroyo and Mark Trumbo are all currently on the disabled list.
One scout told Piecoro that the left-handers in Arizona's bullpen — Joe Thatcher and Oliver Perez — figure to be of interest to other clubs. Both have enjoyed strong seasons to this point. Thatcher is a free agent at season's end, while Perez, who signed a two-year deal this winter, is controlled through 2015. That same scout said he is intrigued by Gerardo Parra, but noted that the outfielder's declining speed is a concern.
Towers noted to Piecoro that he would be reluctant to move young, controllable players such as Didi Gregorius and Triple-A shortstop Nick Ahmed (presumably, Chris Owings falls into that category as well).

Trade Deadline Notes: D'Backs, Price, Zobrist, Lee, Cubs
With the draft in the rear-view mirror, the league's attention will increasingly turn to the coming summer trade market — though, with so many teams still in the hunt and so much money owed to many possible trade candidates, Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wonders if it will be a sluggish market.
Here's the latest on some teams and players who could be discussed:
- The Diamondbacks, who feature a roster with several attractive veteran pieces, have also been widely noted for their abundance of quality young middle infielders. As Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links), current Triple-A shortstop Nick Ahmed has sparked interest from multiple other clubs. Ahmed, 24, is known as an outstanding defensive player and has enjoyed his most productive season at the plate this year with a .304/.385/.401 line in 250 plate appearances in his first run at Triple-A.
- The Rays should consider putting ace David Price on the market now rather than waiting for the deadline to approach, opines MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince. Tampa may not achieve the return it hopes for if it waits, says Castrovince, citing a variety of reasons — including the current proliferation of teams still in the hunt, the possibility that Cubs hurler Jeff Samardzija may approach or even surpass him in value, and the potential introduction of Royals' ace James Shields into the discussion.
- Price may be the Rays' most valuable trade chip, but the versatile Ben Zobrist would draw the widest interest if he is put on the block, tweets Rosenthal. The 33-year-old jack of all trades is owed just $7MM this year and comes with an attractive $7.5MM club option for 2015.
- Indeed, Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com writes that Zobrist is "the perfect acquisition for a team like the Tigers, Giants, or Dodgers." As I noted a few days ago, he would also make sense for a team like the Nationals if they decide to add an impact veteran, and there are surely many others with possible interest.
- Gammons goes on to cite a few other possibly overlooked trade possibilities. He lists Bartolo Colon of the Mets and Steve Cishek of the Marlins in addition to some more commonly mentioned names like Jason Hammel of the Cubs, and Chase Headley of the Padres.
- Cliff Lee of the Phillies, a hypothetically intriguing trade candidate, finally threw a baseball yesterday for the first time since May 18, reports Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. After what he described as a "light throwing session," Lee said that his elbow was feeling "better." Of course, he would need to make it back for at least a few starts to allow Philadelphia to recoup anything close to maximum value were they to shop him.
- In today's Baseball Tonight podcast (audio link), ESPN's Buster Olney says that hears the Cubs will approach this year's deadline as they did in 2013, dealing one pitcher early as they did with Scott Feldman last year and waiting until later to move a second, as they did with Matt Garza. Presumably, that'd mean Jason Hammel would be moved first, with Jeff Samardzija being moved later. His colleague, Keith Law, feels the strategy can work, as there will never be enough starting pitchers for all the teams looking to buy, and the price for Hammel isn't as difficult to agree upon. Moving Hammel early on forces interested clubs to force on the bigger target later in the deadline as the need becomes greater.
- Olney lists the Blue Jays, the Orioles and the Athletics as teams that could have early interest in Hammel, and he wonders if the recent injuries to the Pirates' rotation would cause them to jump into the mix. Law feels the Angels could be added to that mix, as their weak farm system would prevent them from adding a big-name starter.

In a bold move, the Shiv Sena has gone hammer and tongs against the Congress-NCP government's decision to regularise all slums that came into existence till 2000, instead of only till 1995.
Though the move will benefit 4 lakh slum-dwellers in the city alone, the Sena doesn't see any vote-bank hope in slums.
Interestingly, the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance itself had legalised all slums prior to January 1, 1995, when they were in power.
Political analyst Surendra Jondhale put the Sena stand in perspective. "Most slum pockets are dominated by North Indians and the Sena has no hopes of garnering votes from them. Therefore, the Sena position is logical," he said.
Shiv Sena MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut commented on Saamna on Sunday that the state regularised these slums only with an eye on vote bank.
Raut cited four examples to buttress his case. Four Congress MPs -- Gurudas Kamat, Priya Dutt, Sanjay Dina Patil and Eknath Gaikwad -- win on votes from slums like Behrampada, Dharavi and Siddharth Colony, he said.
"Nobody will seek the demolition of these slums and make the poor shelterless, but how long will Mumbai, Pune and Nashik take the load?" Raut said.
"All this is part of a design to ensure that Mumbai does not remain with us," he claimed.
However, Congressmen have a different take, "The Sena fears that the Congress-NCP alliance will take the credit. At the ground level, the Sena fears the slum-dwellers will go with the Congress," Congress spokesperson Anant Gadgil said.
"Besides, several slum pockets have north Indian, Muslim and Dalit domination and they are not going to vote for the Sena. So, they have taken a calculated stand," another party leader said.
Forget slum-dwellers, the state has not even built a colony of one lakh houses for lower-income groups, Raut said.
Late Balasaheb Thackeray mooted the idea of a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) to get rid of slums and ensure proper housing for slum-dwellers. But the whole scheme has now been manipulated for the benefit of builders. "The number of slum-dwellers have increased from 40 lakh to 1 crore. Who will take responsibility for the increase?" Raut said.
"They want to make Mumbai a financial centre. But before making Mumbai a Singapore or a Hong Kong, the state should study how they were able to get rid of slums in these places," Raut said.
"In West Bengal and Assam, they have ensured the influx of Bangladeshis to create vote banks. Besides, seven district of Assam and nine in West Bengal have come under the domination of Muslims. In Mumbai too, these slums have become centres of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis," he said.

On January 23, 2013, over 25 California delegates to the House of Representatives introduced a bill, H.R. 399 (pdf), addressing the federal rules requiring trees growing on levees to be removed. Specifically, the bill would require the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to review its policy about vegetation-removal on levees, in order to consider allowing variances on a regional or watershed basis.
The Corps established a national vegetation removal policy in the wake of the failure of levees during Hurricane Katrina. According to Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA), the "[C]orps' current vegetation policy does not provide enough flexibility for the unique challenges of different regions across the nation, and particularly in California."
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) estimates that compliance with the current federal policy would cost at least $7.5 billion and would destroy important habitat for endangered species. Under the existing policy, original riparian forest would have to be removed; such vegetation is habitat to several endangered species, including Chinook salmon, valley elderberry longhorn beetle, and Central Valley steelhead. DWR is concerned that compliance both with the Corps' vegetation removal policy and the Endangered Species Act would be unworkable.
As we reported here, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife filed a lawsuit against the Corps in February 2012. That suit is still pending.

Following the aroma of tea on Ma Lian Dao Street, I came to Man Tang Xiang, a large tea shop holding many types of famous teas, as well as exquisite tea sets. Entering the gate of Man Tang Xiang, I was astonished at its size. It occupied the whole fourth floor of the Beijing International Tea Town building.
What I really liked was how Man Tang Xiang offered details for each tea type they sell, including beautiful legends and history. For example, take the tea Da Hong Pao, which literally means "red robe". The name originated from a red-robed scholar, who miraculously recovered from his illness after he drank this tea.
In one section of Man Tang Xiang, I took notice of the green tea with a very clear green color. Its straight leaves look like the leaves of bamboos. It's called Zhu Ye Qing, and made in the famou Emei Mountain of Sichuan Province.
In addition to teas, they also offer tea sets. The most extraordinary tea sets were made of jade. It's said that jade could purify the water to make the tea more tasteful.
If you're tired after looking around, sit down at the cozy teahouse to experience the colorful tea culture. You, may also choose to read in the tea museum, or enjoy live classical Guzheng music performances at the music section.
Teas cost from anywhere from RMB 30 to RMB 1000 per 100 grams.

Well there we have it folks. As Al mentioned in todays update the Rain Forest is no more. Please share any pictures or memories you may have of that fantastic forest. Losing Mary Blaire's wonderful RainForest show scene is a very sad development that never needed to happen.
Of course the jury will still be out until the "Unveiling" in January but I have no expectations that the new show scene or "Disney Characters" they added to the classic will have "Plussed" the masterpiece of "It's a Small World"
Share your pictures if you have them of the Rainforest scene, I unfortunately have no pictures of the masterpiece. I will have to live with my memories and the you tube videos.
Small World- from Worlds Fair world of Disney preview, Narrated by Mr. Walt Disney himself!
YouTube - '64 Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair (It's A Small World)
For the old RIP Polynesian scene and the Rainforest scene check out this video starting at 6:36 (6 minutes 36 seconds in) Can anyone confirm what show scenes exactly in this video will be gone by the time this ride reopens?
