Zanu-PF is probing which of its senior officials fed information, some of it false, to the discredited "Baba Jukwa" Facebook page, while police have said they are ready to investigate potential criminal activity related to the whole saga if formal reports are made. Legal experts also dared Mkhululi Chimoio and Mxolisi Ncube, the administrators of the page, to make good their threat to sue the hackers and papers that exposed them, saying this would give citizens an opportunity to grill the syndicate behind the scandalous page.
In separate interviews yesterday, zanu-pf secretary for administration Cde Didymus Mutasa and spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo, said there was need to probe the matter, more so because most of the "information" was false and malicious.
Hackers, who worked on the expose since last year, identified South Africa-based Zimbabwean journalists Chimoio and Ncube as part of a syndicate behind the scandalous Facebook page.
The two work for The Zimbabwean newspaper published by Wilf Mbanga in Britain and sold here.
"Baba Jukwa" claimed to be a disgruntled senior zanu-pf Politburo member before "his" exposure as a donor-funded regime change project. Cde Mutasa said he believed some ruling party officials supplied information to "Baba Jukwa" in a bid to discredit zanu-pf ahead of last year's harmonised elections that the party nonetheless won with a landslide.
"It is necessary and essential to discuss the matter as a party and investigate what could have happened," said Cde Mutasa. "I agree that some among us were supplying those accused people with information with a view to cast the party in bad light and there is need to probe the matter.
"But we have to get a detailed information of what was happening because what we only have is from the media."
Some of the information the syndicate posted on their page was highly misleading and appeared designed to ignite civil disturbances and even insurrections, which is prohibited under various laws including the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Cde Gumbo said a lot of what "Baba Jukwa" wrote was malicious and meant to destabilise Zanu-PF.
"The pair's behaviour is unacceptable for it destroyed the image of political leaders in the country," he said. "All I can say is that whatever happened on that social network, innocent people whose images were damaged should report to the police."
He added that the alleged involvement of senior party officials was "worrisome".
"Some of the information was completely accurate and at times outlandish," he said. "Zvimwe zvacho waitoshaya kuti zvabva nekupi (Some of it left one wondering where it was coming from and what it meant).
"We have to keep probing to discover who was doing that, but it is quite a worrisome phenomenon. It is difficult to identify those individuals, but the matter has to be looked into intensively."
A top cop said once reports were made they would investigate.
"At the moment no reports have been made, but once the complainants have made the reports, then we will be able to investigate the cases," said a senior officer.
On Monday, the syndicate that conned people of various sums of money, apparently removed some of the more sensational posts that could lead to criminal charges from the Facebook page.
Legal experts said Ncube and Chimoio could be prosecuted because they waded into matters of national security in a manner "likely to cause despondency".
A cache of emails hacked from their Gmail account, babajukwa2013@gmail, also revealed that many people were conned of their money as the administrators claimed to need donations to further their shadowy agenda.
Mbanga was duped into paying for a weekly column in The Zimbabwean, which carried a lot of false information.
Some of the posts gave the public the private cellphone numbers of officials so that people could harass them, which could lead to criminal charges under telecommunications laws.
"Baba Jukwa" has also on several occasions claimed President Mugabe's imminent death and/or being in a coma at a Singapore medical facility.
Further, "Baba Jukwa" made several posts in which he accused people of murder, intent to murder, assault, rape, theft and fraud, among other things, which could fall foul of criminal defamation laws.

Over to Top Gear magazine's Editor-in-Chief Charlie Turner for a few words on this month's spanking new issue - out now!
Congratulations in advance! Because once you've bought your copy of Top Gear magazine, it's the only place in the world you'll be able to read a review of the Lotus Evora GTE. It's a big one, this. Lotus has been in the headlines more than its mercurial management would like recently, with big questions hanging over its future finances and ownership. It's amazing that the employees at the HQ in Hethel have been able to concentrate on anything. But focus they have, and in style. If the Exige S test in last month's issue was a kidney punch to the doubters, the GTE continues the pounding.
And the truth of the matter is that even if Top Gear maths doesn't stretch to corporate finance, what we do care about – as every petrolhead should – is the end result. The cars.
What's clear, having driven both the Exige S and the Evora GTE, is that the Lotus magic continues to deliver. No one can make a quick car ride and handle like Lotus. It's this peculiar quality, this Lotus DNA, that is unique to that corner of Norfolk. A centre of excellence that many have tried – but ultimately failed – to copy.
Of course, we're all waiting with breath firmly bated for the knockout punch that we're hoping will come in the form of the new Esprit next year. The signs are encouraging. If New Lotus can transform the Exige and the Evora in such a fundamental way, then what the company might deliver given a clean sheet of paper should put a smile on our faces. Wolf Zimmermann, chief technical officer of Group Lotus, and the man responsible for bringing the Esprit to life, tells us more than he should in the mag. Then Tom Ford launches the Evora GTE at threatening Norfolk skies, and Lotus CEO Dany Bahar answers tough questions about the future. You won't get better access anywhere else.
But it's not all completely serious. Because, as only Top Gear can, we then switch from the sublime to the ridiculous. From Norfolk to the Republic of Wadiya. When Supreme Leader Admiral General Aladeen called our friend Leonard Yankelovich demanding the delivery of his personal gold-plated Dartz Prombron to London, Leo called the only people in the UK he trusts to drive his cars. Us. What follows is a series of events more bizarre than anything any Hollywood scriptwriter could conjure up. Sam Philip finds himself pretending to be an IT systems analyst who's pretending to be a Russian security guard while driving Admiral General Aladeen to a paparazzi-filled publicity stunt. And, yes, you did just read that sentence correctly.
Enjoy the issue.

Great functional hotel inside is clean and comfortable. Bar is very cold in winter so dress warmly to go down there. Maybe I am just a southern wussie? They have two chefs. One is good. The other is really very bad (based upon multiple stays at this hotel and the admission of he waiting staff). less
Stayed at this hotel about five years ago and it was that good that i stayed on all three visits to the city.It is now even better and i will be returning next month again.The staff are superb and nothing is too much trouble. less
I had previously stayed in a Premier Inn last time I was in Aberdeen (for work) and as it was an awful experience decided to book into this hotel as still close to the place I was visiting for my work. The surroundings are not great but the minute I opened the door a girl at reception (wish I knew her name) she was up out her seat and welcoming me. She was so friendly. I had spoken with her the night before as concerned I was going to have a disturbed nights sleep as there was a function booked but she assured me I was out of the way of noise.
My room was small but perfect! It was so clean. I was so surprised at the goody bag that is there - its filled with crisps, chocolate and all sorts of lovely treats! There was a fridge that also had chocolates - orange juice, apple juice and bottles of water. There was also milk and a sign saying if I wanted fresh milk just to let reception know and they would bring it up. The room was full of items to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
The bathroom had toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, mouthwash, cotton buds, nail files.............loads more! Even had a bathrobe and plenty of BIG towels.
The bed was very comfortable and clean. I couldnt fault anything at all.
Breakfast was amazing! There were 2 ladies working the breakfast room and they were great - they were so well organised and you could tell they work very well together. The breakfast was a buffet but I was asked if I wanted fresh eggs made and how I would like them. There was everything you could think of for breakfast and I enjoyed it very much!
This place is such amazing value for money and I wouldnt even consider booking with any other hotel now when working up in Aberdeen. less
Slightly unprepossessing exterior does little justice to this little gem of a hotel. Lovely, well appointed and generously equipped suites (Fridge and grill/microwave fitted as well as high quality bathroom products and a generous welcome package of snacks and drinks.), good food and a friendly bar. Almost sad I only had one night here. Excellent stop over if you are in Aberdeen on business and good value for an expensive town. less
Looks like the outside needs some attention but inside we were surprised. We stayed 2 nights and had no issues at all. The staff were friendly (especially Alix) our rooms were quiet and the goodies were a pleasant surprise. It's good value and was ideal for £50 a night less

Lehtonen returned to Providence
|11.06.09 at 6:21 pm ET
As expected, Bruins forward Mikko Lehtonen was returned to the Providence Bruins on Friday afternoon after filling in for the B's Thursday night in their 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens. Lehtonen was held scoreless in 7:08 of ice time Thursday night, and will head back to the P-Bruins to build on his 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) and 25 penalty minutes in 11 AHL games.
Lehtonen was recalled on an emergency basis on Wednesday night, but was expected to return to Providence once Byron Bitz made it through Friday's practice without aggravating his groin injury. Bitz thought he'd be ready to go for Saturday's game against the Northeast Division-leading Sabres, who have allowed the fewest goals (24) in the NHL this season. Bitz skated with Trent Whitfield and Shawn Thornton
'I feel pretty good. It's one of those things where one day it feels better and hopefully I'm turning the corner here,' said Bitz. 'It feels pretty good. Hopefully it holds up. It's always tough to watch, but it's out of your control. If you're injured, you're injured. You just hope to heal as quickly as you can so you can get back out there.'
Bitz also has the distinction of being David Krejci's roommate on road trips, and the Cornell alum was admittedly a bit concerned that he might also come down with the H1N1 virus after staying in the same hotel room with the center in Detroit. But he hasn't started exhibiting any of the telltale symptoms, and hopes he's out of the woods.
'I thought about that a little bit when I first heard about, but I've been feeling fine, knock on wood,' said Bitz. 'Everybody is so careful about washing their hands and trying not to spread any kind of a flu bug. I just saw it online that [Krejci] had the swine flu, and I was surprised. He didn't say anything about feeling under the weather to me.'

Ishinomaki Architecture Workshop 2011
Space Speculation Report n°2
N 2 1 ISHINOMAKI POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE S PAC E S P E C U L AT I O N R E S E A R C H R E P O R T N � 2 2 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 3 Ishinomaki Postcards From a Resilient Future Space Speculation Research report n�2 n�2 2012 2012 4 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 From a friend in the world A great earthquake occurred off the eastern coast of Japan on March 11, 2011. The resulting tsunami swallowed many towns, villages and people. No one living there had ever experienced such a force of nature. After the disaster, the daily articles, photos and videos were horrific. No one could believe that it had actually happened. In the summer, nearly four months after the earthquake, some brave students and young architects from Belgium, Luxembourg and Japan came to Ishinomaki. Sludge and rubble still covered the city. Living conditions and infrastructure such as electricity and water were still not functioning well yet. While the city was flooded due to ground subsidence, they held a 10 day workshop for the future reconstruction of Ishinomaki. The european architects, who had never experienced an earthquake, felt the large aftershocks of the earthquake on the first day in Ishinomaki. Without yet knowing the local custom and Japanese language, they started working for Ishinomaki which was still covered in rubble... While continuing to research and discuss, they prepared proposals for Ishinomaki based on their vision. Using their talents, they not only delivered a proposal for reconstruction, but also researched the current situation as an approach for improving the local lifestyle. On the last day of the workshop, some students participated in yukata to Kawabiraki festival for its 88 times. They communicated with the local people � praying and thinking of the future of Ishinomaki. I would really like to thank all the people who initiated this exchange in Ishinomaki and the participants of the workshop. Geoffrey Grulois took the initiative to gather nine students and young architects, all of whom generously gave their time and support by discussing and trying to communicate. This workshop went beyond countries, cultures and professions � it included a sincere enthusiasm for humanity. The richness of our global situation allows us to have such support from all over the world. Reconstruction from the earthquake will be a long process of patience and effort. We hope that all the people from Ishinomaki Architecture Workshop, the participants and visitors in Ishinomaki will keep giving their supportive enthusiasm to the reconstruction after the earthquake.

Ishinomaki was one of the most severely damaged cities. More than 3800 citizens died and thousands were left homeless. While Japan has suffered earthquake devastation for many years, no one could foresee that such a powerful wave could wipe away large parts of the city's infrastructure in just a few minutes. No human being could predict or escape this natural disaster that has been traumatic for many surviving citizens. 3800 10 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Ishinomaki 2.0 NPO reinvesting the city center INTRODUCTION 11 Resilience Despite this traumatic disaster, most of Ishinomaki's citizens have decided to stay and rebuild their city. An astonishing wave of solidarity has resulted in a first effort to clean up the city and to help citizens get back on their feet. In this context, small-scale dynamics are emerging all over the city to reclaim urban life and surpass the current state of precarity. Citizens have chosen to organize the traditional summer festival (Kawabiraki matsuri) like they do every year, in order to foster optimism and motivation for the reconstruction process. The continuous exposure to disaster threats has fostered a great sense of adaptability in Ishinomaki. People have learned to cope with reoccurring floods and earthquakes, adapting their daily habits to the rythm imposed by nature. This characteristic trait should not only be used for establishing restrictive protection measures, but also as a potential for promoting sustainable well-being. This experience of continuous exposure to adversity should be exploited to generate a determined attitude and to globally enhance the city. 12 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 IAW survey with local experts IAW INTRODUCTION 13 Ishinomaki Architecture Workshop In this context, small-scale cultural dynamics are emerging all over the city to reclaim urban life. Ishinomaki 2.0 is a global network of volunteers who engage in cultural initiatives to reactivate the urban life of Ishinomaki's central neighborhood. Yet, regarding the scale of this disaster and its impact on the city structure, there is a need to re-think the city not only by parts, but also, and foremost, on a global scale. Ishinomaki Architecture Workshop is an initiative launched to reflect on the new sustainable relation that could emerge in the future between citizens, their city and the natural environment. During a work session of ten days prior to the Kawabiraki summer festival, academics, professionals and students from Belgium and Japan engaged in a multidisciplinary process of collaboration with local experts and citizens in order to foresee a resilient future for Ishinomaki. The workshop started with a seminar given by local experts which studied the challenges that Ishinomaki will face in the future. In the second phase, 8 proposals for a resilient future were formulated. This publication unfolds the results of this intensive cross-cultural workshop. 14 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The workshop started by studying the challenges that Ishinomaki is currently facing. Following a first seminar with local experts and citizens, three research themes were defined: -Demography / density, -Topography / hydrology, - Mobility / public transport. During a few days, an intense survey was conducted in order to frame the city's problems. A series of maps and diagrams were drawn to summarize these issues. Some were related to the latest events, while some others have already become long term issues that need to be dealt with. o / o / o / 15 Challenges 16 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Empty plots in central Ishinomaki (chuo) () Shrinking Like most Japanese medium-sized cities, Ishinomaki has been facing a demographic decrease for a long time, with the young working population migrating to bigger cities. The city counts a high rate of elderly people and a decreasing average population. The tsunami might exacerbate this demographic shrinkage by creating an outflow of citizens to the safer areas of the inland. This effect of shrinking currently creates a lesser density and more open spaces in the urban tissue. CHALLENGES 17 Sprawling district of Ohashi, north-east Ishinomaki Sprawl Ishinomaki is also undergoing a process of demographic and morphological decentralization. The commercial core of the city, which used to be in the historical part of town, progressively moved first along the bypass and later on to the Hebita district where big scale shopping malls are accessible only by car. This permanent move of the city's commercial heart, produced empty districts with bankrupted shops and a decrease in land value. Since the advent of the private car in the 1960s, the population tends to move outwards to the far suburbs. As a result the density of the city center is decreasing dramatically and landowners tend to systematically transform unoccupied plots into parking spaces. This process of de-densification is affecting the quality of land use and urban space. 1960 18 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Topographic settlement following 11 march 2011 2011 3 11 Topographic settlement Ishinomaki is located on a lowland area at the Kitagami river mouth. In the Edo period, Ishinomaki strategically combined lowland rice fields with a river-harbor which was used to transport rice to Sendai and Edo. Thus, the upper part of the city has been protected since ancient times from river floods by dams. On the other hand, the commercial harbor, located in the southeast part of the city, never got any protective dams against river floods. As a result this part of the city that is situated just above sea level suffered severe damage when the river level rose dramatically during the Tsunami. Following the earthquake and the tsunami of March 11th 2011, most of the old parts of the city were affected by ground settlement ranging from 50 cementers up to 1 meter, flooding the historical center twice a day with the tide. CHALLENGES 19 Hydrographic network of canals and creeks Hydrographic system The settlement of Ishinomaki's lowland increases the risk of river floods. The water evacuation system has been built by burying the former canals of the lowlands' rice fields. As a result, rainwater in the by-pass area has to be pumped up to the river to avoid floods. Furthermore, most of the city's surface is covered by asphalt. This decreases the permeability of the ground and increases the risk of rainwater floods. Hence, Ishinomaki is not sufficiently protected against the risk of river and rainwater floods. Moreover, the construction of dams and buried water pipes has resulted in the loss of the traditional relation to water. Since its birth, the city has been confronted with an extreme geographical context with an intimate relation to the river, the mountains and the sea. Through the centuries, Ishinomaki has built a complex and ingenious water system. But the latest projects and the future ambitions concerning this problem seem to be more like an easy and mostly infrastructural answer to a complex problem. Against this stubborn confrontation and reactive measures, there is a need for more quality and sustainable answers. Ishinomaki is clearly a water city. The amount of canals, riverfronts and coastline areas prove that it does have a strong urban relation with the water. However, this relation is often underestimated or hidden. 20 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Commercial strip of Nakazato by-pass Traffic The demographic shift in favor of the suburbs is driven by a transition from a pedestrian way of life to one that is car-centered, with the loss of public transportation. Most of the population in Ishinomaki depends on car use for daily movement inside and outside of the city. As the city offers large road systems mainly designed for car use, most households usually own two cars. This phenomenon creates traffic congestion and dehumanizes Ishinomaki's public spaces.The city has a bus transportation system that is rather inconvenient because of low frequency (around 1 per hour). The city's railway station is the end stop of the Senseki line, connecting Ishinomaki to Sendai in less than an hour. Furthermore the city has two local stations located in the west of the city. There is also a railway connection to Onagawa located in the east but the route has a very low frequency and it does not have local stations in Ishinomaki. As a result, the eastern part of the city lacks an efficient public transport system. The flat topography and the small size of Ishinomaki's lowland area makes it easy to get around by bicycle although the number of people using bicycles as a daily transport mode remains rather low. CHALLENGES 21 Flooded area (grey) and buildings destroyed (red) by the Tsunami of 11 march 2011 2011 3 11 Destruction The destruction caused by the tsunami is very uneven in the city fabric. While inland areas have been protected from flood damage, some seafront and riverfront areas have been strongly affected. The housing neighborhoods facing the ocean have been wiped out and construction in these areas should definitively be prohibited. The central neighborhoods along the river have also been strongly damaged. Although some buildings along the banks of the east river still stand, most of them appear to have been irreversibly damaged by the tsunami. In these areas, buildings have been built in front of the river without any protection and the construction of a dam would need expropriation of privately owned land along the river. 22 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Considering Ishinomaki's challenges, we believe it has a rich potential for a new kind of urbanity. These potentials can be defined by four ideas that will be the frame of our proposal 23 Potentials 24 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Temporary use of empty plots in central Ishinomaki (chuo) () Density / open spaces The concepts of shrinking and sprawling are often referred to as negative processes. In this case, they can give amazing qualities back to the city, if well used. We will furthermore develop this idea by showing how empty spaces can create strong qualities in the city. POTENTIALS 25 Sports facilities (red), schools (yellow) and temples (grey) within the boundaries of chiku districts Isotropy / Chiku districts Contrary to the simplistic view of the city and its organisation, Ishinomaki is not a bi-central city (historical center versus Hebita district). It has always been organised by small entities, the Chiku. Public services, schools, parks and temples are spread all over the city, organizing each distrct. This creates a certain kind of isotropy in the way the city is understood and organized. In order to better define its identity, Ishinomaki should strengthen its isotropic condition and consider its structure as non-hierarchical. This process would allow it to get back to a district life (Chiku) with more commercial and public proximity and less use of automotive transportations. 26 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Level of building damage following 11 march 2011 : red= destroyed, orange= damaged, yellow= partly damaged 2011 3 11 Destroyed districts After the recent traumatic event, several districts of Ishinomaki are now impossible to build on, due to frequent flooding and/or topographic settlement. These large open spaces are now an opportunity for the citizens to reclaim a quality of life with green and/or public spaces directly connected to the urban tissue which can be used as buffer zones against future floods. The need for new housing to relocate the inhabitants of these ruined districts can be seen as a potential to develop new residential areas, adapted to Ishinomaki's condition. POTENTIALS 27 Kitakami river waterfront in Sumiyoshicho district Landscape / water relation These new spaces can also reactivate the relation of Ishinomaki with the water and its geographical context, by creating systems that offer more flexibility to nature's moods. They can also offer green spaces as buffer zones between the city and the river with outdoor activities when not flooded. Developing a green belt along the riverfront, would induce a new flexibility in regard to reoccuring floods, while sustaining the relationship with the river. These areas could contain public infrastructures that would allow for outdoor activities when not flooded. / 28 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 RESILIENT ISHINOMAKI The current human dynamic and support for the city shows that the traumatic experience Ishinomaki suffered can produce a new determination to function better than expected. This form of resilience is, for us, the starting point of our vision of Ishinomaki in the future. We believe that the city must engage itself in a strategic redefinition to cope with its environment and respond to major challenges of a post-Kyoto 21st century city. Instead of trying to resist and, by doing so, become more unrelated to its historic landscape, the city has a potential to engage in a closer and more intense relationship with nature to improve its quality of life, promote wellbeing and protect against the influence of risk factors. In this publication, 8 propositions for the city are investigated and presented. These are not fixed proposals, but visions based on the potential present in Ishinomaki. Together they can be the canvas for an ambitious and positive masterplan to rebuild Ishinomaki, better than before, turning city constraints into urban qualities. MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 30 29 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 30 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 31 32 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 33 Porous city I : Plot re-use 34 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The first proposal consists of accepting that one can't fight against the dedensification of the urban fabric. We should rather emphazise the potential of free plots as a tool to enhance the public space of the city and an isotropic distribution of quality public spaces. The current organization of the city by Chiku offers a very good distribution of public facilities. The demographic stability or dedensification can, together with the current state of the city fabric (very porous and punctuated by parking lots) have a very strong potential to redefine the quality of daily life all over the city. By promoting the smart use of empty plots for markets, children playgrounds, temporary dwellings, terraces, permeable ground and landscapes, the city could acquire new qualities as well as answer the problem of water run-off and rain flooding. Sports facilities (red), schools (yellow) and temples (grey) within the boundaries of chiku districts MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 35 Parking lot Children playground Open-air shop Lagunage Japanese garden Urban farming Re-use of empty plots in the city 36 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 37 Porous city II : Bypass reduction 38 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The by-pass is a good example of an oversized road for cars with dual carriageway and very narrow pedestrian decks. The by-pass also increases the problem of flood risks due to the low level of the ground and the expanse of impermeable ground surface. Our proposal consists of recognizing the by-pass as the major commercial axis of Ishinomaki and to imagine how we can improve its qualities. Decreasing both number of car lanes and the size of parking lots could allow for the creation of a public transport axis and increase the number of permeable surfaces. To furthermore improve and control water flows, several water treatment basins can be created on the slopping topography. In the end, the public transport axis, with its bus lines would keep the commercial activity of the by-pass while the green surfaces would increase the quality of the urban space. Commercial strips in Ishinomaki vs MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL vs vs vs 39 vs vs vs vs Impermeable floor > flooding vs Improved permeable floor Green permeable ground around the by-pass 40 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 41 Seafront landscape 42 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 In the context of a resilient city, it is important to foresee protection between the industrial harbour and the city against the risk of a tsunami. Instead of conceiving this dam as a barrier to the city, we imagine to use it as a green hilly park running east west along the coastline. Research has shown that dense tree zones help to diminish the force of a tsunami. By placing the bus line on top of this green elongated tree-reinforced hill we create an efficient transport system that allows citizens to enjoy the landscape of the seafront while connecting both the city an the industries. The industrial park is also reconfigured as a landscape of basins with elevated roadways to soften the strength of the wave and give more time for evacuation. Plan of industrial zone with the elevated roads system and new plantation MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 43 Cross section through industries Industrial port logistic system on protective dam 44 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 45 Resilient Memorial 46 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The expansive area located between the Hiyori hill and the Kitakami river, where a large neighborhood was completely destroyed, is foreseen as a memorial park. This park would consist of a memorial space shaped by the destroyed layout of the neighborhood. Densely planted trees transform the former road system and create inner `chambers' where the former house plots are visible between low vegetation. Memorial park concept MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 47 Memorial park concept Ruins in the memorial park 48 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 49 5 minutes city 50 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 Resilient Ishinomaki want to promote public transport and cycling in order to decrease traffic congestion and pollution in the city. The promotion of public transport and cycling also help to further improve the quality of daily life and of the city by transforming parking plots into usable public space. The public space should bring the focus back to pedestrian, cycling and public transport in the city. In order to improve the transport system with minimum investment, our vision is to take advantage of the existing transport infrastructure by improving the railway and bus networks. As far as the railway goes, we suggest to increase the number of local stations on the Onagawa line east of the city to create local intermodal hubs where it will be possible to shift from train to bus and bicycle. The bus network will be simplified with 4 ring lines connecting the four parts of the city with the central station. These bus lines will meet along the main transportation axis in order to increase their frequency. As the bus lines are circular, it will be possible for commuters to take the bus in both directions, therefore doubling the frequency. Bus stops will be located on a specific lane in the middle of the street in order to make it easier to take a bus in one direction or the other. H U Bus network MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 51 H U Train network : Bicycle accessibility radius from station Intermodal station 52 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 53 Canals new-landscape 54 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The relationship between the water's ecological cycle and the city can be fostered to help Ishinomaki cope with its hydrological issues while bringing new spatial qualities in the city. Water should not be seen as an adversary to the city but a precious natural resource. The construction of a buried water pipe system has result in losing the traditional and qualitative relationship to water. Contrary to this, Resilient Ishinomaki wants to restore and enhance the canal network that channels water to the river. These new canals have been located according to a survey of the existing water pipe system and the topography. They are designed in order to allow for a safe increase and decrease of the water level. This canal network will become a relaxing place for cycling in the city and wandering. Flooded areas and hydrographic network in Ishinomaki MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 55 Canal and pre-treatment basins cross-section Opening up former canal in the city 56 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 57 Floodable east riverfront 58 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 The east side of the Kitagami River (Minato and Watanoha areas) has been severely damaged by the tsunami because of its low ground level and lack of protection. The ground settlement following the earthquake makes the situation worse, as part of the ground lies now at sea level. As there is no remaining space along the river to build a dam, the project suggests to create a floodable area were the water can freely rise according to the height of tide. Sports facilities as well as new housing typologies will be built on stilts on top of this landscaped park, reinserting the natural landscape and its strong historical meaning in the city in a sustainable way. Water landscape area on zones destroyed by the tsunami MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 59 Cross-section Housing on the Kitagami east riverfront 60 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 61 Historical west riverfront 62 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 vs The chuo 1 and 2 chome areas along the riverfront is the historical center of Ishinomaki. It was severely damaged by the tsunami and there is a plan to build a dam to protect the landscape along the river. Tohouku University's urban design laboratory is currently studying the design of this landscape dam and Resilient Ishinomaki wish to incorporate this solution into the masterplan. This dam will be designed to keep a good visual relationship between the historical city and the riverfront. The dam itself will become a green hilly park facing the river with a cycling path on top of it and allow for public activities. cross-section MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL 63 Green dam (grey) and new canal (black) in city center (chuo) 64 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 31st of July 2011 65 66 POSTCARDS FROM A RESILIENT FUTURE - RESEARCH REPORT N�2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT Ishinomaki Architecture Workshop was made possible by a network of collaborations and support that emerged between Brussels and the devastated city few weeks after the Great East Japan earthquake. Ri� Ab�, a Japanese national born in Ishinomaki and currently living in Brussels, played a central role in connecting me with the Ishinomaki citizens and experts. Vincent Hecht, an exchange student in Tohoku University, initiated research on the reconstruction problem setting up survey maps and an internet platform for preparing the workshop. IAW became possible thanks to the generous support of Wallonia-Brussels International, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Brussels Capital Region and the Embassy of Luxembourg in Japan. Despite the damage to their hostel and restaurant, Hisatoshi and Yoshi� Ab� made everything possible to welcome and accommodate us during the two week workshop. At night Ri� Ab� gathered local citizens and workshop participants for excellent Belgian food. Yuka Morita from Awex Tokyo and Yuko Miyake from Brussels export Tokyo helped us to organize this meeting spot. Thanks to Brunehaut Brewery, Chimay Brewery, Lefebvre Brewery, Orval Brewery and Saint-Feuillien Brewery, Brussels Co., Ltd., local citizens and workshop participants could enjoy their evening meals and discussion times with the best of belgian beer. During a seminar that introduced the workshop in Ishinomaki, the Tohoku University professors Katsuya Hirano, Tomohiro Mori and Michio Ubaura gave crucial input on the reconstruction problem of Ishinomaki. The local citizen Seiji Henmi shared his exhaustive knowledge of the city history. Keiji Ashizawa, the founder of Ishinomaki 2.0, provided the infrastructure of Ishinomaki lab during the two weeks of the workshop. Akihiro Otsuka helped to set up the logisitcs. Tetsuya Hosokawa produced the mobile steel structure to support maps and drawings produced during the workshop. We would also like to thank the Mayor of Ishinomaki, Sir Hiroshi Kameyama, the president of Ishinomaki's Chamber of Commerce, Toru Asano, the Luxembourg Embassador, Sir Paul Steinmetz, and the Belgium embassy Minister-Counsellor, Sir Fr�d�ric Verheyden, for supporting this workshop. Last but not least, I should stress the intense dedication of the research and design team during the two weeks of the workshop. Julie Collet, Julien Deloffre, Pierre Escobar, Vincent Hecht, Philippe Nathan, Akari Sora, Sachi Suzuki, Yannick Vanhaelen and Pauline Varloteaux took advantage of their common experience in Space Speculation urban design studio and their early professional practice to produce an outstanding outcome. After few months back in Belgium, Yannick Vanhaelen and myself edited this publication unfolding the research and the proposal of IAW. We sincerely hope it will help Ishinomaki citizens to envision a bright future.

Female ad exec found dead in Cavite, car still missing
CAMP VICENTE LIM, LAGUNA–Police are still looking for the vehicle owned by a senior advertising agent, who was found dead under a bridge in Silang, Cavite over the weekend.
Senior Police Officer 1 Eric Ambojia of the Silang police station said a resident found a dead body of a woman below the 20-foot high Tibagan bridge in Barangay (village) Sabutan around 6 a.m. on Saturday. The body turned out to be that of 25-year-old Kristelle Davantes, a senior account manager at the McCann Worldgroup Philippines Inc., who was earlier reported as missing.
The victim's mouth was gagged with a handkerchief and her hands tied with the car's seatbelt when found by the riverside. Police investigators believed she was strangled to death using a piece of electric wire found on the scene. Results of the autopsy showed no signs of sexual assault.
In a phone interview Monday, Ambojia said a security guard last saw Davantes on her car, a Silver 2011 model Toyota Altis, in her office's parking lot at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City around 1 a.m. Saturday. Davantes was a resident of Las Piñas City.
"We believe she was abducted and killed elsewhere before the body was dumped here (in Cavite). We are also looking at more than one suspect here," Ambojia said.

..welcome to the board. I deleted your other duplicate thread rather than move it as there was no content to the replies you got. Newbies get lots of leeway here so no worries! I don't know squat about catamarans but if you end up going the monohull route and can adjust your plans to NOT cross the atlantic...(maybe do the whole caribbean circle or go through the canal and up the coast?)...then I think one of the larger Beneteau 3 cabin models out of one of the charter services can fit your needs, budget and be capable of doing the trip. Just need a really good survey for out of charter boats. Another alternative since the kids are still young is to get a center cockpit boat for privacy and de-construct the V berth into split single berth cabins for the kids. Something like an Irwin38-44 would work for that or perhaps a Morgan.

QuickStats: Percentage of Outpatient Department (OPD) Visits in Which Only a Mid-Level Provider Was Seen and in Which Both a Physician and a Mid-Level Provider Were Seen --- United States, 1993--2004
* Data reflect average annual estimates for each 2-year period.
Since 1993--1994, the annual number of OPD visits increased by 39% to approximately 90 million during 2003--2004. Although the majority (80%) of OPD patients were seen by a physician during 2003--2004, the role of mid-level providers (e.g., physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and midwives) became more prominent. Since 1993--1994, the percentage of visits in which only a mid-level provider was seen increased from approximately 6% to 11%. During the same period, the percentage of visits in which both a mid-level provider and physician were seen did not change, and the percentage of visits in which only a physician was seen decreased by 4%, from 81% to 78%.

Ottimino Ranch Bello 2006
Zinfandel from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
Black cherry and pomegranate aromas are laced with hints of white pepper, Occidental dust, and vanillin spice. The palate entry has gobs of fruit, with cherry, bramble and ripe strawberry at the core. Smooth, round tannins anchor a great depth and concentration of flavor, and the excellent balance makes this Zinfandel a great food wine.
100% Zinfandel
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Rancho Bello is a dry-farmed vineyard on a ridge above Green Valley, a warm spot that matures zin into a juicy textural pleasure. This wine has the cool touch of satin and silk, a weave of pine, strawberry, sweet William and resinous herb. Tannins darken and firm it up, but the fruit keeps pouring out from behind them. Decant this to let the aromas build, then serve it with grilled rack of lamb. "
Wine Enthusiast - "A wildly flavored, tannic and exuberant Zinfandel that showcases the variety's exotic personality. Dry and full-bodied, it has brambly flavors of blackberries, black currants, licorice, mocha and smoky cedar, liberally sprinkled with dusty Asian spices."
Ottimino Winery
Close enough to the ocean to benefit from the cooling sea breeze yet high enough to be above the fog on many days, this section of the Russian River Valley Appellation is unsurpassed in yielding award winning Zinfandel wine. Winemaker William Knuttel's 25 years experience along with his creativity and intuition guide him as he transforms fruit from Von Weidlich, Rancho Bello, and Ottimino Vineyards into unparalleled wine. View all Ottimino Wines
About Russian River
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Defensive back Dimitri Patterson has been awarded to the Miami Dolphins one day after being waived by the Cleveland Browns. The Dolphins also placed backup tight end Charles Clay on injured reserve Tuesday with a right knee injury. Patterson reinforces the secondary with the questionable status of cornerback Nolan Carroll, who hurt his left knee in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. Patterson, who signed a 16 million, three-year contract last offseason, has appeared in seven games this season with four starts. He missed seven games after tearing a ligament in his left ankle, but has played the past two weeks. Patterson had a career season with Philadelphia in 2010, when he made four interceptions. The Dolphins are his fifth team.

NCAA Increases Clarity in Final Revision to Proposals
July 18 (Bloomberg) -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association's final revision to proposed governance changes gives more clarity on autonomy for the five biggest conferences and to involvement of student-athletes in decision-making.
The NCAA made the changes after receiving feedback from member schools and conferences. The overhaul will go to a final vote on Aug. 7.
"It shows a clear commitment to support student-athletes and allow them not only a place at the table but a voice in the process," NCAA President Mark Emmert said today in an e-mailed release.
The changes are being proposed at a time when the NCAA is battling lawsuits over the use of players' images and for alleged antitrust violations, while Northwestern football players are trying to form the first union in college sports.
If the rule changes are accepted, the Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences could start making autonomous decisions within their own group as early as January, according to the release.
In current broadcast contracts alone, the Indianapolis-based NCAA and its five richest conferences are guaranteed more than $31 billion. That doesn't include other sources of revenue such as sponsorship, merchandise sales, ticket sales and booster donations.
Biggest Change
One of the biggest changes to the original proposal is the expansion of the Council, which is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Division I. Two faculty representatives were added to a group comprised mainly of university athletic directors and a pair of student athletes.
Athletic directors from the five major conferences will have 37.5 percent of the vote on the Council. The student-athletes and faculty representative will have 3.1 percent each.
Prior to the vote next month by the Division I board of directors, the NCAA will reach out to university presidents to further discuss and explain the reasoning behind the proposed changes.

Video: Ford's SmartGauge in motion
We've seen photos of the SmartGauge. Now see it in motion.
Ford's SmartGauge system is set to debut on the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. We've seen what it looks like and what it can do. I have to say that the SmartGauge looks great in pictures, but it looks so much better in motion.
I wonder how much of this will translate directly into production. The interface is slick, but the "efficiency leaves" feature seems sort of gimmicky, where a simple mpg readout would suffice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I'm not necessarily suggesting you need a new soul mate. But if you do, this is the perfect astrological moment to go in search of one. Where should you look? I suggest you hang out in unfamiliar territory where you will be fresh and curiousfrontier zones where you're likely to uncover secrets about who you really are. For fastest results, visit the Costco Soulmate Trading Outlet (thespoon .com/costco/), a clearinghouse for soul mates at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert from August 25 through 31. It offers "quality name-brand and private-label soul mates at substantially lower prices than can be found through conventional wholesale sources." PS: If you're happy with your existing soul mate, infuse your bond with a concentrated dose of smart, loving creativity, and propel yourselves into the next phase of your evolution together.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Robust singing skill is correlated with a strong immune system in songbirds. Male birds with the most extensive repertoire of tunes also have the largest spleens, a key measure of immune-system health. No studies have yet been done on humans. But if there is a similar link, I expect you will be crooning with unrivaled beauty and power in the coming days. The astrological omens say you are currently at the peak of your ability to fight off bugs and adversaries of all kinds, including both the physical and psychic varieties.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): So begins the information-gathering phase of your yearly cycle, Cancerian. You'll align yourself with the cosmic ebb and flow whenever you engage in activities that excite your love of learning and enhance your skills as a student of life. Here's a gem from poet Heather McHugh to inspire your quest: "The knowledge I'm interested in is not something you buy and then have and can be comfortable with. The knowledge I'm interested in keeps opening wider and wider, making me smaller and more amazed, until I see I cannot have it alland then delight in that as a freedom."
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Please muse a minute on the title of a book by Susan Harrow: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul: A Woman's Guide to Promoting Herself, Her Business, Her Product, or Her Cause With Integrity and Spirit. I suggest you either consult this invigorating set of instructions, which works for men, too, or create your own version of it. The astrological omens reveal you're primed to receive fresh intuitions about how to make money from doing what you love. (PS: I don't know Harrow personally and have no financial stake in her book.)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Question: What form of entertainment would be most likely to cure your brain cramps? Answer: watching the demolition of an old building. What lucky break could ensure you won't keep missing the forest for the trees? Finding a bird's nest. What soul medicine would be most effective in giving you access to your repressed intuition? Reading mythic tales of resurrection. What is the hardest yet most rewarding lesson you could learn right now? How to whistle with two fingers. Where can you find a portal to another dimension? In your bedroom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "You have to recognize the demons, or else they'll annoy you like mosquitoes," poet James Broughton told interviewer Jack Foley. "But if you acknowledge their existence, if you say, 'All right, here's a cookie, go sit in the corner,' then you can go about your work and you don't have to go into depression because of it." I suggest you follow Broughton's advice, Libra. Neither ignore nor over-indulge those pesky voices in your head.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Big Texas Steak Ranch restaurant in Amarillo, Texas, has a standing offer to its customers: If you can eat its four-and-a-half-pound steak in an hour without getting sick, the meal is free. Oh, and you've also got to finish the side dishessalad, shrimp cocktail, baked potato, and roll. Only about one in six brave souls succeeds at the test. Given your tribe's current astrological omens, however, I think five out of six Scorpios could win the bet this week. Your appetitenot just for food, but for pleasure, wisdom, adventure, and self-transformationis gargantuan.

The man, who later lost an arm in a road crash, is named in
Missing Pieces, by Ian Wishart.
Scheduled for release on Friday, it claims to contain
information that will raise new questions about Tamihere's
conviction in 1990 for killing Heidi Paakkonen and Urban
Key police evidence and secret witnesses were later
discredited, giving rise to discontent over the soundness of
the conviction. But Tamihere stayed in jail until paroled in
Wishart said the new suspect's family told him he confessed
before he died in 2002. The man was a mental health patient
who had attacked a priest in Waihi shortly before the murders
took place.
He later told his family he had escaped into the bush and
spent many weeks travelling rough while moving north to
The man's mental health history showed intense anger and
violence, Wishart said, which fitted with autopsy records
showing Mr Hoglin's head was nearly severed from his body
after death.
"Urban Hoglin's body had been subject to a frenzied attack."
Wishart said he had tracked the killer through the 1990s,
including a crash in which he lost an arm.
He said it offered further proof of instability - the suspect
had his arm out the driver's window at the time he struck a
truck. The other driver believed it was deliberate.
Wishart said that after he advertised the book last week on
NewstalkZB, a nurse rang to tell him of a man who had
confessed to the murders before dying of renal failure in
2002. The man also had one arm.
The nurse confirmed the name Wishart mentioned. She had
contacted police to tell them of the death-bed confession but
was told the killer (Tamihere) had already been caught.
"It doesn't prove he did it but it does prove he confessed,"
Wishart said.
He said it remained possible Tamihere was the murderer. "He
was a convicted killer and a rapist."
Former Cabinet minister John Tamihere, the convicted
murderer's lawyer brother, said discoveries following the
conviction threw huge doubt on his brother's guilt. There
were links between the case and others that later become
synonymous with doubt.
John Tamihere said the police focus on his brother from the
outset had removed the opportunity to study others who should
have been investigated.
He said his brother was "a great suspect" but had fallen
victim to "the policing methodology in this country".
"They clearly identified a key suspect and determined there
would be no others."
A police spokeswoman said: "Mr Wishart has not provided
police with the material he has referred to in ... promoting
his book."

You Represent A Spiritual Kingdom · Saturday, September 8th · Pastor Chris
And set your minds {and} keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth (Colossians 3:2 AMP).
Do you realize that the Christian ministry is a spiritual ministry? Indeed, it is! The Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom. The Lord Jesus said, "…My Kingdom is not of this world…" (John 18:36), which means He actually does have a Kingdom, except that it isn't of this world. By virtue of the new birth, we've become citizens of that spiritual Kingdom of God.
This is the realm from which God expects you to function. This world isn't your permanent home; you're here only as a pilgrim. According to the Bible, we're only going to be in this world for a season because one day, the whole earth will be replaced with another one (Revelations 21:1).
Therefore, you must set your focus on those things that truly matter, and not on the transient pleasures of this present world.
Colossians 3:2-4 says, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." Unless you come to that level in your life where you know what your priorities are, you'll be living an empty life. Christ should be your focus, and nothing else should compete with your love for Him. Get to that point where your love for Jesus and attention on the expansion of His Kingdom is all that matters to you.
Precious Father, I thank you for the privilege and honour of being a vital member of your spiritual Kingdom. Loving you and living for you is all that matters to me; and I declare my commitment to the expansion of the Kingdom as I propagate the Gospel, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

It's definitely about time. I was beginning to wonder how long it would take for the Reds to come to their senses. Good moves. I think Gomes will be there to stay (they can't send him back down without his accepting it again anyhow).
It's definitely about time. I was beginning to wonder how long it would take for the Reds to come to their senses. Good moves. I think Gomes will be there to stay (they can't send him back down without his accepting it again anyhow).
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
ONE FOURTH (1/4th) of the ENTIRE 2009 season before they figured out Gomes should be here instead of McDonald.
Yes, it's about time. SOME semblance that this FO actually isn't tied to DUHsty the Toothpicks pointless meanderings and logic ALL of the time, only wasting 1/4th of the season on a stupid decision.
Guess it's better than last years CP experiment.
I can live with Nix/Gomes and Taveras/Dickerson as our LF/CF combos. I suppose Gomes can spell Bruce in RF every now and then too (say against the occasional lefty?)
Not going to win the pennant with it, but at least it actually makes some logical and statistical sense. You know DUHsty had nothing to do with that side of the argument.
I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008
Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
^think he is more stating feel bad for him to see his dreams crushed, not the actual call of finally doing it-dont think anyone qustions that. But yeah, i feel bad for him too, it has to suck to finally make it but then not have enough to stay, but at least he made it, more then most can say

I'm Looking forward to seeing Fisher and I know some people aren't excited about Homer but I am.
good moves.

It's about time. It is laughable how some are poking fun and saying that "Gomes is the savior" sarcastically. Come on now, no one here thinks that but it was painfully obvious McDonald doesn't belong in the majors. I don't know how you could argue against that. He's a career minor leaguer who is 30 years old... there is no upside whatsoever. Gomes is another Reds type player who they picked up cheap, has played well in the past and is still relatively young. We keep signing or trading for these players and some of them end up working. (Phillips, Hamilton, Nix to some extent) There is upside there and he actually did decent at AAA, long time coming and he'll help the Reds. If anything, I felt bad for him instead of McDonald...he had to be thinking, how did this happen?
Gomes is 28, not young....he is what he is: effective against lefties at the MLB level. Don't expect anything more. We need a real offensive threat to play in LF and bat in the middle of the order. Gomes=25th man, fine with me.
This is a productive move. Enough of these little moves and they may result in some wins. Is Gomes just going to be a bat off the bench or could he work his way into a platoon situation?
We only live in patches. - H. G. Wells
Someone above said it right, this is big time business. Dusty got to give the guy a shot, and rewarded him for his hard play in ST. He got to start OD. He had a couple big hits early and got himself a dong in the big leagues. He had to know his time was up.
Seems like they just gave up yesterdays game. But the good news is Votto is OK, Bailey finally gets his call up. Gomes gets his time now to shine, and the Indians are in town. Should be a fun weekend in Cincy. Wish I could be there.
Damn I thought that said Gonzalez optioned. Crap.
After the Phillies series, I really hope Dusty at least has the sense to realize that he should only bat 8th, and he should really be platooning. When Edward comes back, he may be the next to go.
Praise the Lord. Forgive me for saying this but winning teams just don't have Darnell McDonald's on their roster for full seasons. Gomes will be a lift almost immediately.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
I did not get to see the game yesterday or hear anything but the last two innings, so I missed Ramirez's outing. Did he just not have it? Or what is the reason for his two day stay with the team.
As for McDonald, all I will say is I am happy.
2010 Attendance Record: 7-4
2009 Attendance Record: 14-16
Stop! Homer time!!
2 things I like about this:
1) We can stop having threads about the 25th man on the roster.
2) We can finally have a 15 game winning streak now that Jonny is here.
