Reverend George Webster Sr., 93 of South Whitley, passed away at 10:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 11, 2013, in his residence.
On Oct. 5, 1920, he was born in Booneville, to Dallas and Elzie (Bryant) Webster.
He married Betty J. Sroufe May 7, 1941, in Sidney, who preceded him in death May 24, 1997. He then married Mary Belle Chandler on June 1, 1998, who also preceded him in death.
Garnett Bernelia Fabian, 87, passed to be with the Lord, Tuesday Nov. 12, 2013, at Parkview Oaks, Columbia City.
She resided most of her life in South Bend. She was born in Barbour County, W. Va., April 13, 1926, and was the daughter of the late Andrew H. Mayle and Lucille (Norris) Mayle.
Garnett was married to George B. Bojtor from 1947 until his death in 1992 and to Harold Sigmund Fabian from 2001 until his death in 2011.
Garnett enjoyed being with family and friends, music, dancing, and had a wonderful smile and sense of humor.
CHURUBUSCO — Clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch made the difference in Whitko's win against Churubusco Saturday.
The Lady Wildcats won the Whitley County rivalry game by a final of 56-52.
Churubusco had a six-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Consecutive steals and baskets from Whitko freshmen Brianna Cumberland and Aly Reiff cut the Lady Eagle lead to just one.
From that point, Whitko got to the line often enough to close the gap. The free-throw shooting was not perfect, but Cumberland knocked down four in a row to seal the win in the game's final minute.
WHITLEY COUNTY — The same storm system that swept through Illinois, killing six and destroying hundreds of homes, passed through Whitley County Sunday afternoon with minor damage in comparison.
The National Weather Service predicted a 30 percent chance of tornados in Whitley County, along with much of Northeast Indiana.
Storm cells with rotation entered Whitley County, prompting tornado warnings in the northern and southern parts of the county, but fortunately for local residents, storm damage was minimal Sunday.
COLUMBIA CITY — In an effort to improve safety and save money, video teleconferencing will begin soon for the Whitley County Court Systems.
New equipment recently installed will take advantage of technology, and allow some court hearings to be held with the defendant not physically present in the Courthouse.
Among the benefits expected to be reaped are increased savings and safety.
Sheriff Mark Hodges said a great deal of time and money has been spent on inmate transportation.
COLUMBIA CITY — Peabody Public Library, Columbia City, has rows of shelves featuring a variety of book titles and genres.
Special designated areas highlight books for teens as well as children in hopes of engaging readers at a young age.
It is this early introduction to reading that sparked an initiative at the library, one that has parents and children committing to reading books by the thousand.

This invention relates to an electrical power disconnect switch, and, more particularly, to a safety switch for instantaneously opening the power circuit of a battery-operated mechanism in the event of an emergency or otherwise.
While the switch of the present invention has numerous applications, it is especially useful in connection with battery-powered vehicles, such as industrial trucks used in manufacturing plants and warehouses for transporting and lifting loads. While the switch is also admirably suited for use with other battery operated apparatus, such as recreational vehicles, personnel carriers, hoists, lift platforms for workmen, etc., the invention is specifically shown and described in connection with a battery-operated industrial truck since the latter is a typical example of an application for which the invention is admirably suited.
Battery-operated vehicles of the type described normally employ power circuits to the various power components, such as the traction wheels, steering mechanism, lift mechanism, etc., and also control circuits for selectively energizing and de-energizing the desired power circuits. The power circuits normally include one or more contactors which open and close the power circuits in response to actuation of various operator-controlled switch members in the control circuit. In the conventional electrical circuit of such a vehicle the power circuits are connected to the battery in parallel with the control circuits.
Many problems associated with the use of battery-operated industrial trucks result from the lack of proper preventive maintenance. Such trucks are frequently operated under conditions where the electrical controls are exposed to constant vibration and an environment in which dirt, dust and grime are prevalent.
Likewise, it frequently happens that such vehicles are operated when the battery voltage is at a relatively low level, thus producing a relatively high current. When the battery voltage is low or the contactors are dirty or pitted and burned, the contactors sometimes weld shut when they close. When this occurs, since the power circuits are in parallel with the control circuits, the power circuits are maintained energized through the welded shut contactors. Under such circumstances the control circuits are ineffective to stop the operation of the vehicle itself or an auxiliary power device on the vehicle. Thus, if the contactors in the power circuit to the traction wheels should weld closed the supply of power to the traction wheels will be maintained even though the manual controls are manipulated in a manner which would normally stop the vehicle. Obviously such an occurence presents a dangerous situation which can result in serious injury to the operator and others and also extensive damage to property.
Such vehicles are rarely provided with a switch in series with the battery for quickly cutting off the supply of current to the power circuits. At the present time when switches are used they take the form of relatively large, expensive battery disconnect switches located on the vehicle so as to be lever-operated or otherwise actuated by the operator. Aside from their cost and size, the disadvantages of such disconnect switches reside in the fact that they are not readily operable in an emergency situation and, when operated, the relatively high current in the circuit produces substantial arcing as the switch contacts separate. Thus, when such switches are used, frequent replacement thereof is necessitated.
Furthermore, such conventionally used disconnect switches are designed so that they can be readily manipulated to reconnect the battery with the power circuit of the vehicle even though the malfunction which required initial opening of the switch has not been corrected. When such a switch is again closed without correcting the cause of the malfunction current is again supplied to the power circuits irrespective of the condition of the control circuit and a dangerous situation is again presented due to possibly welding the switch shut also and losing all means of killing power to the vehicle.
The present invention has for its primary object the provision of an electrical disconnect switch which overcomes the problems discussed above.
More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide an electrical disconnect switch which is constructed such that when it is actuated to open the switch contacts are moving at a high velocity when they separate or break with one another and the contacts themselves are designed to produce a minimum of arcing, even when separating under high D.C. current conditions.
A further object of the present invention resides in the provision of a disconnect switch incorporating a current sensitive device for preventing the switch from being closed under conditions which would result in a large flow of current such as might occur when contactors in a power circuit are welded shut.
In general, the switch of the present invention comprises a first pair of fixed conductors adapted to be connected between a battery and the electrical circuit of a battery-operated mechanism and also a second pair of electrically connected movable conductors normally closing the circuit between the first pair of conductors and spring biased to open upon release of a mechanical latch. The conductors are of tubular shape and the switch includes tulip connectors of special design for establishing and breaking the circuit between the conductors and the contacts. In addition, the switch includes a solenoid-operated mechanism which prevents the switch from being closed under conditions which would result in the flow of a large current therethrough.
Other features and objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and drawings, in which:

Referring to the drawings, numeral 10 designates the housing in which the switch components are located. Within housing 10 there is mounted, as by bolts 12, a generally hollow support block 14 formed of an electrical insulating material. A pair of copper sleeves 16 are fixedly mounted in support block 14 in any suitable manner. The two copper sleeves 16 are arranged in parallel relation and are adapted to be connected at one end by suitable connector elements 18 with electrical cables 20, 22. In the case of an industrial truck one of these cables would extend to a battery terminal and the other would be connected to the electrical system of the truck. The other end of each sleeve 16 is flared outwardly as at 24. The flared end 24 of each sleeve 16 is adapted to retain a tulip connector 26 thereon. Tulip connector 26 is constructed in the manner disclosed in my co-pending application, Ser. No. 245,138, filed Apr. 18, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,813,638.
Each tulip connector 26 comprises a series of petals 28 of identical shape and size arranged circumferentially around sleeve 16 within a suitable cavity 27 in block 14. Petals 28 are curved outwardly adjacent their opposite ends as at 30, the outwardly curved portions forming seats for coiled tension springs 32 which encircle and tend to maintain the series of petals in a circumferentially contracted condition. The axially central portion of each petal 28 is bowed outwardly as at 34 to accommodate the outwardly flared portion 24 of sleeve 16 and prevent the tulip connectors from being axially withdrawn from sleeve 16. As disclosed in my aforesaid co-pending application and as illustrated in FIG. 8, the outwardly turned portion 30 of each petal 28 has a free end portion 36 of lesser thickness than the curved portion 30. As shown in FIG. 7, each petal 28 is curved in transverse section to a radius less than that of sleeve 16 so that each petal has two points of contact with sleeve 16 at the curved portion 30 thereof. Each cavity 27 has a jig-ground annular flat face 37 against which the end portions 36 of the petals are adapted to abut when the tulip connectors are shifted upwardly as viewed in FIG. 6.
A pair of cylindrical electrically insulating pins 38 extend at one end through concentric openings 39 in block 14 and into the flared ends of sleeves 16 and have a close fit therewith. The opposite ends of insulating pins 38 are fixedly attached to wall 40 of housing 10 by screws 42. A second pair of copper sleeves 44 are fixedly attached to a cross head 46 and have a close sliding fit with pins 38. Cross head 46 is preferably in the form of a rigid U-shaped bracket formed of copper or the like which electrically interconnects the two sleeves 44. A push knob 48 which is formed of an insulating material has a hollow cylindrical shank 50 extending through an opening 52 in wall 40 of housing 10. Within shank 50 there is threaded a metal sleeve 54. Sleeve 54 is fixedly attached as by a press fit, silver solder, etc. to cross head 46. A plunger 56 slideably arranged within sleeve 54 is biased in a direction outwardly of the sleeve by a relatively heavy compression spring 58. Spring 58 biases plunger 56 so that its lower end abuts against the head of screw 60 on the top face of support block 14.
FIG. 6 shows the switch in the open condition wherein the lower ends of sleeves 44 are separated and spaced from tulip connnectors 26. The free lower end of each sleeve 44 preferably has mounted thereon a ring 62 of an electrically conducting material which is relatively hard and tends to resist arcing. Rings 62 are preferably formed from such alloys as copper-tungsten or beryllium-copper. Rings 62 should preferably be formed of a material having higher electrical resistance than sleeves 44.
In FIG. 4 the switch is shown in the closed condition with spring 58 compressed and push knob 48 in the depressed condition. When the switch is in this closed condition the leading ends of sleeves 44 extend through openings 39 and are telescoped within tulip connectors 26. It will be observed that the curved ends 30 of the petals 28 of each tulip connector are contacting sleeves 44 beyond the anti-arcing rings 62. In the condition of the switch components shown in FIG. 4 sleeves 44 and cross head 46 connect sleeves 16 and, thus, cables 20, 22 in series.
Referring now to FIG. 1, within a suitable cavity in support block 14 there is arranged a U-shaped latch spring 64 having generally horizontally disposed upper and lower legs 66, 68, respectively. The upper leg 66 of spring 64 is fashioned with an opening 70. A shot pin 72 fixed on cross head 46 and projecting vertically downwardly from the cross head has a tapered lowered end 74. Pin 72 is also fashioned with an annular groove disposed between the tapered end 74 and cross head 46. Opening 70 in the upper leg 66 of spring 64 has a diameter slightly larger than pin 72. However, spring 64 is formed such that in its untensioned condition opening 70 is slightly off-center relative to the axis of pin 72. When cross head 46 is shifted downwardly a predetermined extent the tapered end 74 of pin 72 engages opening 70 and flexes spring 64 so that the upper leg 66 thereof is displaced horizontally inwardly away from side wall 78 of housing 10. As the cross head continues to move downwardly a position is reached wherein the upper leg 66 of spring 64 registers with groove 76 and the tension in spring 64 is thus relieved to permit the edge of opening 70 to engage groove 76 and thus latch cross head 46 in the lowered position against the bias of spring 58. When cross head 46 is in the lowered latch position the switch is closed; that is, sleeves 44 are telescoped within tulip connectors 26 (FIG. 4).
Latch spring 64 is adapted to be released by a pin 80 slideably mounted on wall 78 of housing 10 and having a push knob 82 at the outer end thereof. A compression spring 84 biases knob 82 in an outward direction to the position limited by the engagement of a flange 86 on pin 80 with the inner side of wall 78. When knob 82 is pressed inwardly toward wall 78 the inner end of pin 80 engages spring 64 to shift the upper leg 66 thereof horizontally to a position wherein the opening 70 is disengaged from groove 76 and permits the entire cross head assembly to shift upwardly under the bias of spring 58. The upward movement of the cross head assembly is limited by a rubber bumper pad 87 on the inner side of the housing top wall 40.
As is shown in FIG. 6, the legend OFF may be suitably applied to the lower end of shank 50 to visibly indicate the condition of the switch. When the switch is ON the legend is disposed such as to be concealed by wall 40 of housing 10.
Spring 58 is preferably a relatively heavy spring. It will be observed that when the switch is in the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 the rounded ends 30 of tulip connectors 26 are engaging sleeves 44 above the lower ends thereof. As shown in the drawings (FIGS. 1, 4 and 8), the extreme end portions of sleeves 44 (that is, the free ends of rings 62) are disposed axially at about the axial central sections of tulip connectors 26. Thus, cross head 46 and sleeves 44 move upwardly through a predetermined distance before the series circuit connection between cables 20, 22 and sleeves 44 is broken. Since spring 58 is a relatively heavy one and since the cross head assembly is of relatively small mass, it follows that at the instant the circuit is broken sleeves 44 are moving upwardly at a relatively high velocity. This tends to reduce arcing to a minimum. Arcing is also reduced to a minimum by reason of the shape of petals 28 and the provision of the rings or tips 62 at the free ends of sleeves 44.
As pointed out previously and as shown in FIG. 7, each petal is curved in transverse section so that it has two points of contact with the outer surface of sleeves 44. Thus, as shown in the drawings, if each tulip connector has six petals and all of the petals are accurately located axially relative to the ends of sleeves 44, then, when sleeves 44 move upwardly out of contact with the petals, the circuit is broken at 12 individual points on each connector or a total of twenty-four circuit breaking points on both sleeves 44. Obviously, if the circuit is broken simultaneously at 24 point rather than one, substantially less arcing occurs. When sleeves 44 move upwardly the free end portions 36 of petals 28 are all axially aligned in the same axial plane by reason of their abutment with the jig-ground flat faces 37 of cavities 27. This insures breaking the circuit simultaneously at all of the petals. In addition, since the rings 62 are preferably formed of a material having a higher resistance than the copper sleeves 44, it follows that as the sleeves move upwardly the current flowing through the switch is reduced as the rounded end portions 30 of the petals engage rings 62 and upon complete separation less arcing occurs because at the instant of separation the current has a lesser value. Thus, a minimum of arcing occurs when the switch is open because sleeves 44 are moving at a high velocity, because the current has a reduced value, and because the circuit is broken simultaneously at a relatively large number of contact points.
Referring now to FIG. 11, there is illustrated in a diagrammatic and simplified manner that much of the electrical circuitry of an industrial truck which illustrates another important feature of the disconnect switch of this invention. In the diagram shown in FIG. 11 the battery for supplying power to the vehicle is designated 88 and the switch previously described is schematically designed 90. The battery connectors are indicated at 92. One of the cables 20, 22 shown in FIG. 4 is connected to the battery and the other connects with the power and control circuits of the vehicle. In the electrical system illustrated in FIG. 11 three power circuits are shown; namely, the power circuit 94 to the wheel traction motor, the power circuit 96 to the steering mechanism and the power circuit 98 to the lift mechanism. The electrical system also includes a control circuit 100 connected to the battery in parallel with the power circuits. Control circuit 100 includes the conventional ignition, dead-man seat, brake and accelerator switches illustrated in FIG. 11 as well as a manual directional control 102 for closing a circuit between the forward contacts 104 and the reverse contacts 106. Contacts 104 and 106 when closed energize solenoids 108 and 110, respectively, which in turn close contactors 112, 114 in power circuit 94. An SCR control 116 in power circuit 94 is operative only when the traction motor 118 is operating at less than full speed. Once the traction motor is operating under full speed the main contactor 120 closes and the SCR control 116 is no longer performing a controlling function.
As is conventional, power circuit 94 also includes a fuse 122 which, in the case of an industrial truck, may have a rating on the order of 350 amperes (which is slightly higher than the current to the traction motor at full load). The steering circuit 96 also includes a contactor 124 which is closed for power steering the vehicle and the power circuit 98 for the lift mechanism likewise includes a contactor 126 which is manually closed when it is desired to operate the lift mechanism. Except for the switch 90, the arrangement shown in FIG. 11 is more or less conventional.
With this arrangement it will be observed that the power circuits 94, 96, 98 are connected to the battery in parallel with the control circuit 100. Thus, if a contactor in one of these power circuits should become welded shut, the manipulation of the control switches in the control circuit 100 will be ineffective to cut off the supply of power to the power circuit having the welded shut contactor. With the switch 90 connected into the circuit as illustrated, when this occurs push knob 82 is depressed to instantaneously cut off the supply of power to all of the circuits of the vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction as described, if the electrical system is not serviced to correct the malfunction and switch 90 is again closed, current would again be supplied to the power circuit containing the welded shut contactor and a dangerous situation would again be presented. In order to prevent such occurence, the switch of this invention is provided with a means for preventing it from being again closed until the malfunction is corrected. These means are in the form of a solenoid 128 mounted on insulating block 14 as shown in FIG. 1. The coil of solenoid 128 has its opposite ends connected across the two cables 20, 22 as indicated by the leads 130, 132 in FIGS. 1 and 4. The plunger or armature 134 of solenoid 128 is biased in a direction outwardly of the coil by a light tension spring 136. The outer end of plunger 134 is pivotally connected to one end of a lever 138 pivoted intermediate its ends on support block 14 as by a screw 140. The opposite end 142 of lever 138 is designed so that, when solenoid 128 is energized to retract plunger 134 against the bias of spring 136, the lever is pivoted about screw 140 in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 9 from the position shown in solid lines to the broken line position so that it overlies and blocks the opening 144 in support block 14 through which the shot pin 72 has to pass in order to interengage sleeves 44 with tulip connectors 26. An intermediate portion of lever 138 is provided with a notch 146 to accommodate screw 60 against which the lower end of plunger 56 is biased by spring 58.
The coil of solenoid 128 is a high resistance coil so that it is actuated only when switch 90 is open. For example, if the battery voltage is 36 volts, when switch 90 is open the current through the solenoid may be on the order of 0.23 amperes, which is sufficient to powerfully close the solenoid but not sufficient to operate any of the power devices in the power circuits. However, when switch 90 is closed, solenoid 128 is in shunt relation with the conductor defined by sleeves 44 and cross head 46 and is effectively shorted out of the circuit. Hence, if one of the contactors in any of the power circuits becomes welded shut and the operator is unable to stop the operation of the mechanism controlled by the malfunctioning power circuit, he merely depresses knob 82 on housing 10 which, as pointed out previously, disengages the spring latch 64 and causes the cross head 46 with the sleeves 44 mounted thereon to slide upwardly out of engagement with the tulip connectors 26 under the influence of the high tension spring 58. When this occurs the circuit between cables 20, 22 is closed through solenoid 128 which causes plunger 134 to retract and pivot lever 138 to the broken line position shown in FIG. 9 wherein the end 142 thereof blocks the opening 144 in support block 14 to thereafter prevent the switch from being closed by depressing knob 48. However, in the event of such a malfunction, when the welded shut contactor is repaired or replaced, the circuit across solenoid 128 is de-energized which causes spring 136 to pivot lever 138 to the full line position shown in FIG. 9. Thereafter the switch can be closed and latched in the closed position by merely depressing knob 48 to a position wherein the groove 76 in shot pin 72 is engaged by the edge of opening 70 in the upper leg 66 of spring latch 64.

Although the address is on the main road the house is set down a steep driveway just above the beach. Only noise is that of the ocean. Cute, spacious apartment with a big hot tub below and a wonderful ocean view. Nice for a romantic weekend getaway.
Review collected in partnership with this hotel
By far the best weekend getaway we've ever taken. We've done Whistler, Harrison, etc and bayside beats them all!
Very friendly and personable, and will work to accommodate any special requests.
We will definitely stay here again and I have already recommended them to everyone I know and will continue to do so.
Great vacation!
Wonderful trip, great suite and nice people. It was very relaxing and the room was nice, clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to family and friends. I hope to take my family again in the near future.
Stayed here for a long weekend in the Island Vista cottage. True to its names, we enjoyed great views of the Island all weekend. The entire property was fantastic and the hosts Ian and Linda were very accommodating. Highly recommended.
My partner and I have the most wonderful stay at Beachside by the Bay over new years. We stayed in the Ocean Suite, and it was just perfect for two people. We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy set-up and the fantastic view of the water - we got lucky with sunshine over the two days, but even if it had been...
My boyfriend and I stayed last weekend for three nights and it really is beautiful and hosts, Ian and Linda are great. Very accommodating but not intrusive at all. The unit is great and the views are out of this world. Cannot wait to go back.
My wife suprised me with a get-a-way to the Sunshine coast to celebrate our Anniversary..'early'...(29Oct when we met, 31Dec when we were married.. a long'ish story..)..!
Having No knowledge of what her plans were, I just followed her directions..and found us on the ferry to Gibson's..on the Sunshie Coast. It's been quite a while since we've been there last.
Stayed In the cottage for the weekend. It was very clean and cozy, and had an amazing view of the ocean. Would be a perfect beachside setting for a wedding! During our short stay we witnessed a pack of 50 dolphins playing in the ocean, from the deck.
Linda and Ian are amazing. The cottage, that we stayed in was amazing. The views are more than amazing.
Our three annoying little dogs were accepted and we can't wait to return. We have been feeling homesick.
Will definitely return.
Oceanside by the Bay was our highlight experience on our trip from California up to British Columbia. The physical locale of the property was fantastic and was made only better by the warm and friendly owners and innkeepers Ian and Linda. The property sits on a hillside above the water with incredible views and access to a private deck right...

Edwin Jackson Rumors
NL Central Notes: Maholm, Bucs, Bryant, EJax, Ricketts
Lefty Paul Maholm has a "standing offer" at Triple-A with the Reds, tweets Jon Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. At present, however, Maholm is looking to secure a big league deal if possible. He was released yesterday by Cincinnati.
Here's more from the NL Central:
- The Pirates have pillaged the Yankees in recent seasons, particularly in the catching department, as Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes. Both teams have placed significant value on pitch framing, but Sawchik suggests that perhaps Pittsburgh has remained more willing to commit to its ideas in that area. "I'm not sure if they were ahead of us, we were ahead of them or if we arrived at this way of thinking at the same time. Actually, they were probably first," said club GM Neal Huntington. "The two clubs evaluate catchers similarly."
- The agent for Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant, Scott Boras, says that starting the season without the game's top big-league-ready prospect in the majors is tantamount to staging "ersatz baseball," Jon Morosi of FOX Sports tweets. "MLB is not MLB without the best players," said Boras.
- Cubs starter Edwin Jackson, himself a former Boras client, is still waiting to learn what his role will be in 2015, as ESPNChicago.com's Jesse Rogers reports. It seems likely that he's headed to a middle relief spot, in spite of the fact that he's still owed $22MM by the team.
- Cubs owner Tom Ricketts indicates that his organization is still executing on its plan to build steadily, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. "We knew that if we're ever going to bring a World Series to Chicago, it's to be disciplined, and build things the right way," said Ricketts. "We've done that. Now, it's up to us to deliver that promise." That goes for the team's player assets as well as its efforts to rehabilitate Wrigley Field, as Nightengale explains.

Central Notes: Eaton, Henderson, Perez, Jackson, Wood
Today's biggest transactional news came out of Chicago, as the White Sox continued to set the stage for the future by extending outfielder Adam Eaton. The 26-year-old expressed plenty of excitement for the new deal, though it sounds as if he did not quite enjoy the process that it took to reach agreement, as Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com tweets. "I didn't sleep much," said Eaton. "Very stressful. I don't know how the other side felt. It was long."
Let's have a look at a few more notes from the central divisions:
- Former Brewers closer Jim Henderson was reassigned to minor league camp today as he continues to show slow progress in his return from shoulder surgery, as MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. Henderson has been throwing his fastball at about five to ten miles per hour below his peak mid-to-upper-90s offering from recent seasons.
- Fellow righty Corey Knebel has also been shipped to the minor league side of camp by the Brewers, writes McCalvy, leaving Chris Perez, Tyler Thornburg, and Rob Wooten to battle over the final pen role. Perez is in camp on a minor league deal and has Article XX(B) protection, meaning that the team will either need to put him on the active roster, pay him a $100K bonus in the minors (and give him a June 1 opt-out date), or release him. The other two players still have options.
- Cubs skipper Joe Maddon says he is talking with president of baseball operations Theo Epstein about a creative means to fit both Edwin Jackson and Travis Wood on the 25-man roster, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat tweets. Jackson is in the midst of a substantial free agent contract, while Wood is out of options. A transaction would be necessary should either player not make the club out of camp.

NL Central Notes: K-Rod, Brewers, Badenhop, Cubs
Francisco Rodriguez still has to pass a physical with the Brewers before he can have his deal officially announced, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. However, Rodriguez is still getting his visa sorted out and is therefore experiencing a delay in the process. The Brewers, of course, re-signed Rodriguez to a two-year, $13MM deal to serve as their closer once again.
Here's more from the National League Central…
- Luis Jimenez, who is out of options, is competing with Luis Sardinas and Hector Gomez for a utility infield role with the Brewers, writes Haudricourt. Jimenez and Gomez may have the upper hand, but if Sardinas hits and proves himself to be capable at third base, Jimenez could be squeezed out of a roster spot. The Brewers have two bench spots to be filled by these three players, writes Haudricourt, but going with Sardinas would of course lead to the risk of losing Jimenez on waivers at the end of Spring Training.
- Reds reliever Burke Badenhop tells MLB.com's Mark Sheldon that he found the free agent process "nerve-racking" despite being pleased with the results. "I continued to fall back on the point that we knew what was out there," said Badenhop, "kind of where I fit in the market. It's kind of a funky spot, not really crystal clear. Nobody that was ahead of me was getting worse deals than I thought I should have got and nobody behind me was getting better deals."
- The role of Cubs' fifth starter is "for all practical purposes" Travis Wood's to lose, ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers wrote yesterday. The Cubs have Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, Jason Hammel and Kyle Hendricks in the front four slots, with Wood, Edwin Jackson and Tsuyoshi Wada competing for the fifth slot. Rogers does note that Jackson or Wada could force their way into the role, but it seems likely that at least one of the three candidates for the final spot will be traded this spring, in Rogers' estimation. I have a difficult time seeing any club agreeing to take on Jackson's remaining $22MM; a release may be the more likely outcome, though that's a large chunk of money for any team to swallow. For those wondering, Wood will earn just under $5.7MM in 2015 and is controllable through the 2016 season via arbitration, while Wada is earning $4MM this season on a one-year deal.

NL Central Notes: Tomas, Martin, Jackson, Reds
The Pirates had scouts in attendance at Yasmany Tomas' weekend showcase, writes MLB.com's Tom Singer, but GM Neal Huntington didn't sound overly optimistic about the team's chances. "We like the player," Huntington told Singer. "We will participate in the process. As it has with most Cuban players, the market may take it above a place where we feel comfortable."
Here's more from the NL Central…
- Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes that while Pirates owner Bob Nutting is the one who ultimately determines payroll, Huntington is the one who distributes the funds. And while Huntington doesn't like the idea of allocating more than 18 percent of a team's payroll to one player, Sawchik opines that Russell Martin is the rare case in which an exemption should be made. He notes that it's unlikely for teams to go beyond four years for Martin, and they're also unlikely to go as high as Brian McCann's $17MM average annual value. The Pirates can get by offering Martin something close to $60MM over four years, Sawchik writes, and given the lack of alternative options, he feels they'd be wise to do so.
- It's best for both the Cubs and Edwin Jackson if Chicago can orchestrate a change of scenery for the beleaguered right-hander next season, writes Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago. Jackson, owed $22MM from 2015-16, has been a good citizen through his significant struggles in Chicago and remains positive, but both sides need to move on from a bad situation, Rogers continues. The Cubs's best chance at moving Jackson is likely to swap him for another bad contract or to pay a large portion of his remaining salary, though as Rogers notes, it may be best to move on "no matter how they get rid of him."
- While many Reds fans are convinced that the team needs to add a power bat to play left field, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes that the team should instead prioritize on-base percentage in a left field upgrade. Cincinnati's team OBP dropped from .327 in 2013 to .298 in 2014. Shin-Soo Choo, who reached base 300 times last year, was replaced by Billy Hamilton, who is on pace to reach 184 times. Joey Votto, who reached 316 times in 2013, spent most of this season on the DL, and the team's No. 3 hitters have combined to reach just 206 times as a result. Pointing to the team's struggles in one-run games (22-38), Fay notes how important a healthy Votto and an OBP-focused left fielder could be to the team.

Quick Hits: Cuban Smuggling, Martin, Jackson, Howard, Castillo
While news of Cuban ballplayer Rusney Castillo continues to dominate the news cycle, the human trafficking side of Cuban imports also made headlines. Eliezer Lazo entered a guilty plea in connection to the smuggling of over 1,000 Cubans, including Rangers outfielder Leonys Martin, reports Curt Anderson of the Associated Press. The article covers some of the sordid details involved in this human trafficking case.
- In related news, a lawsuit brought against Martin by a Mexican baseball academy associated with Lazo will likely be dropped as a result of the criminal case. The Estrellas baseball academy alleged that Martin agreed to pay them up to 35% of his major league contract, but Martin only paid $1.2MM of his $15.5MM deal.
- The Braves and Cubs discussed a proposal that would have sent Edwin Jackson to Atlanta in return for B.J. Upton, writes Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. The deal would have served as a straight swap of albatross contracts. The sides apparently weren't close to finalizing a trade but could re-open talks over the offseason. It appears this was probably the rumored trade first reported on August 9.
- In what is likely to become an ongoing "will they, won't they" story, David Murphy of the Philadelphia Inquirer speculates about moving on from Ryan Howard. The club currently has Darin Ruf taking the occasional start in left field while Howard blocks his playing time at first base. Philadelphia seemingly needs to decide which of three players possess the higher upside – Howard, Ruf, or left fielder Domonic Brown. Given Howard's age, 34, and rapidly diminishing numbers – he had a .678 OPS before today's home run – it's fair to wonder if Howard should be the odd man out. Corner infield prospect Maikel Franco could also figure in the mix before long.
- We at MLBTR seek to find answers for the pressing questions such as "Does Rusney Castillo know Jay-Z?" Castillo, who is represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports and Brodie Van Wagonen of CAA, does indeed know the mogul, according to the Boston Herald's Scott Lauber.

Cubs Notes: Lake, Shortstops, Jackson
The Cubs have demoted outfielder Junior Lake to Triple-A Iowa, according to the MLB.com transactions page. After a good rookie season as a 23-year-old in 2013, Lake has struggled badly this season, hitting .216/.243/.364 in 305 plate appearances. None of the outfielders who started for the Cubs in their Opening Day loss to the Pirates this season are still on their active roster — the Cubs have optioned Lake, traded Emilio Bonifacio to the Braves, and released Nate Schierholtz, lately going with some combination of Chris Coghlan, Arismendy Alcantara, Justin Ruggiano and Ryan Sweeney in the outfield. Here's more from Chicago.
- The Cubs are loaded with young shortstops, but GM Jed Hoyer says they don't need to trade any of them, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun Times writes. Chicago has Starlin Castro, Javier Baez, Addison Russell and Alcantara, which means that the team could have to find new positions for as many as three of them if they want to keep them all. "I think we can be a better team for it in a lot of ways if we end up doing that," says Hoyer. (Alcantara has already played shortstop only sparingly this season, spending time in second base and outfield instead.) The shortstop-starved Mets love the Cubs' talent at that position, and Wittenmyer notes that they like Russell more than Castro.
- Nearly two years into a four-year, $52MM deal, Edwin Jackson has been a bust so far, Wittenmyer writes. This season, Jackson has a 5.74 ERA in 136 1/3 innings, although his reasonable 8.0 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 suggest he's been at least somewhat better than his ERA indicates. Jackson is still just 30 and has good stuff, so his struggles in Chicago have been a disappointment. "I think it's his location," Hoyer says. "When he pitches up in the zone he gets hit, and the times he's been able to stay down in the zone and locate his fastball away, he's had some success." Given that Jackson still throws hard and has two years left on his contract, the Cubs are likely to continue to give him chances to reemerge.

Cubs Looking To Trade Edwin Jackson
The Cubs have attempted to deal away starter Edwin Jackson, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, but initial efforts have not been promising. Jackson, signed before the 2013 season, is playing on a $11MM annual salary this year and is owed the same amount for each of the next two campaigns.
Heyman adds that the Yankees did not seem interested in the 30-year-old righty, who has struggled to a 5.61 ERA through 110 2/3 frames this year. That follows on his poor numbers last year, when he threw 175 1/3 innings of 4.98 ERA ball. Jackson has restored his strikeout totals to the level they were when the Cubs signed him (8.1 K/9), but has struggled with control and has walked four batters per nine.

Yankees Notes: Pitching, Jackson, Severino, Uggla
The Yankees' win-now ethos is "refreshing," Andy Martino of New York Daily News writes. "Oh, he's out there," says another team's GM of Yankees executive Brian Cashman. "He's really trying to make something happen. I personally don't think he has the pieces to get a big trade done, but he's working at it." After a rash of injuries, the Yankees continue to look for starting pitching, although Martino notes that there aren't many possibilities, with Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel already off the market and David Price unlikely to be traded within the AL East. The Padres won't deal Andrew Cashner, Martino writes, and might not trade Ian Kennedy either. That means New York might have to settle for smaller moves. Here are more notes on the Yankees:
- The Yankees would make sense as a possible destination for Cubs starter Edwin Jackson, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times writes. The Yankees could afford to pay at least some of the approximately $26MM left on Jackson's contract.
- Nonetheless, the Yankees are not close to any move to upgrade their pitching, although they continue to try, Martino tweets.
- Luis Severino has risen from obscurity to become one of the Yankees' better prospects, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes. Sherman tells the story of how Will Kuntz, then the Yankees' pro scouting director, went to a Yankees spring training minor league game and didn't even know who Severino was before he clocked him at 95 MPH on his radar gun. The Yankees recently promoted Severino, now 20, to Double-A Trenton after he pitched well at Class A Charleston and dominated at Class A+ Tampa.
- Cashman says the Yankees have no interest in second baseman Dan Uggla, Martino tweets. That's no surprise, of course, given that he's hit .162/.241/.231 in 145 plate appearances this season. The Braves are responsible for the remainder of Uggla's contract, since they released him.

Central Notes: Verlander, Tigers, Cubs, Morris, Pinto, Marmol
Justin Verlander's recent struggles are "a giant concern" for the Tigers, writes James Schmel of MLive.com, because Verlander himself admits that he isn't sure how to fix them. Verlander told reporters that he doesn't feel he's at the point in his career where he needs to reinvent himself on the mound, though he acknowledged that he doesn't have the same velocity he used to have and said he didn't blame the fans for booing him last night as he left the game. Verlander yielded seven runs on 12 hits last night and has posted a 7.83 ERA with a woeful 26-to-20 K/BB ratio over his last 43 2/3 innings (seven starts). He is averaging a career-worst (though still solid) 92.6 mph on his fastball.
Here's more on the Tigers and the baseball's Central divisions…
- Jon Morosi of FOX Sports hears that the Tigers aren't planning on making a move to upgrade at shortstop, as they like what they've seen from rookie Eugenio Suarez since his promotion to the Majors (Twitter link). It's tough not to like what they've seen from the 22-year-old Suarez, who is hitting .346/.452/.808 with three homers through his first 10 games. Clearly, he's due for some regression, but the optimism is understandable.
- An AL scout tells David Kaplan of CSN Chicago that he's spoken to the Cubs about both Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel, but he hasn't gotten any indication from Chicago that any of their other starters are available (Twitter link). That contrasts recent reports that the team would be willing to listen to offers on Edwin Jackson and Jake Arrieta. Given Jackson's remaining salary, it seems hard to believe that Chicago wouldn't be open to moving him.
- The Pirates weren't looking to trade right-hander Bryan Morris before trading him to the Marlins, GM Neal Huntington tells Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. However, Miami expressed interest in the deal after being attracted to an increase in Morris' velocity and the addition of a two-seam/sinking fastball to his repertoire, and the two sides were able to strike a deal. Pittsburgh received Miami's Competitive Balance Round A pick (No. 39 overall), used to draft (and sign) Connor Joe, while Miami has been rewarded to this point with 9 1/3 innings of scoreless relief from Morris, who has shown greatly improved command.
- Twins closer Glen Perkins offered some candid comments regarding catcher Josmil Pinto on 1500 ESPN Radio with Phil Mackey and Judd Zulgad (via Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press). While he was highly complimentary of Pinto's offensive skills, the left-hander was blunt in his description of Pinto's defense: "He's a long, long ways away, to be honest with you. …his pitch framing, he's got some work to do." Perkins flatly he said Pinto is "surely not at the big-league level as far as catching for me." Perkins went on to preach the importance of framing and praise veterans Jonathan Lucroy and Jose Molina for their prowess at the skill. Minnesota recently sent Pinto to the minors to get more consistent at-bats and consistent time behind the plate. He's spent much of the season DHing while Kurt Suzuki, whose offensive contributions have been somewhat surprising, has done the bulk of the catching.
- After leaving the Reds organization to take a "mental break," the representative of reliever Carlos Marmol says that the righty may not look to return this season, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Agent Paul Kinzer told Heyman that Marmol decided to return to the Dominican Republic to deal with unspecified personal issues, and has had no physical problems.

Cubs Gauging Market On Samardzija, Hammel, Arrieta, Jackson
JUNE 16: In addition to discussing Samardzija and Hammel trades, the Cubs are at least willing to consider the possibility of moving additional arms, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links). Morosi hears Chicago is trying to gauge the market on Samardzija, Hammel, Edwin Jackson and even Jake Arrieta.
It's not surprising that they'd be willing to move Jackson, as they undoubtedly would be pleased to shed some of his salary obligations — he is owed roughly $28.3MM through 2016 — but Arrieta is somewhat of a surprise. Chicago acquired him in last year's Scott Feldman trade, and he's off to an outstanding start in 2014, having pitched to a 2.09 ERA with 9.2 K/9, 2.9 BB/9 and a 52.1 percent ground-ball rate in 43 innings. Still just 28 years old, Arrieta is not yet arbitration eligible and is under team control through 2017, so it stands to reason that the asking price would be high.
Listening on Arrieta is a bit puzzling, as one would think he's the type of arm the Cubs would like to build their rotation around, but he's also battled injuries and has never been able to consistently succeed in the Majors, despite having the talent to do so. As Morosi notes, the Cubs aren't planning to trade all four starters, but rather is doing its due diligence to know the market value of each starter heading into trade season.
JUNE 14: The Cubs are already discussing trades involving starting pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel with at least two teams, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Interested teams include the Braves, Blue Jays and Mariners, and Wittenmyer cites one source from within baseball who tells him Hammel is likely to wind up with Seattle.
With about six weeks left to go before the trade deadline, the Cubs are 27-38, 11 1/2 games behind the Brewers in the NL Central. It is, of course, not necessarily surprising that the Cubs would consider trading two veteran pitchers who are having good seasons. Samardzija, who is eligible for free agency following the 2015 season, currently has a 2.77 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 91 innings. Hammel, who's signed to a one-year deal for $6MM, is in the midst of the best season of his career, with a 2.81 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9.

Tullian Tchividjian, the grandson of famed evangelist Billy Graham and author of several books, has stepped down as the senior pastor of the 2,000-member Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, confessing to having an affair. Tchividjian had served as the church's senior pastor since 2009. In a statement to The Washington Post, Tchividjian said he recently discovered that his wife was having an ongoing affair, which eventually led them to separate. He wrote, "Sadly and embarrassingly, I subsequently sought comfort in a friend and developed an inappropriate relationship myself. Last week, I was approached by our church leaders and they asked me about my own affair. I admitted to it and it was decided that the best course of action would be for me to resign."
Tchividjian said "my wife and I are heartbroken over our actions," and asked for prayer. The church's executive pastor, Rob Pacienza, told the paper they will be "working with and assisting Pastor Tullian and his family to help them through this difficult time" ... Discuss

Elisabeth Elliott, influential writer and wife of Christian martyr Jim Elliot, died this morning, according to several sources. She was 88 years old.
Elliot's first husband, Jim—subject of the 2005 docudrama, End of the Spear—was killed by members of an unreached tribe in eastern Ecuador—the very tribe he was trying to reach with the Gospel of Christ. Elisabeth Elliot authored two best-selling books about Jim's life, Through Gates of Splendor and Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testimony of Jim Elliot. And she eventually returned to the same tribe that killed her first husband to continue the work he began.
She wrote around 20 books—including classics such as Passion and Purity—and hosted of the radio show, Gateway to Joy, which ran through 2001 ... Discuss

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Kyle Chipchura potted a pair of goals on Tuesday, as the Phoenix Coyotes defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 4-2, at Rogers Arena.
Mikkel Boedker and Antoine Vermette added a goal and an assist apiece to help the Coyotes salvage the final test of a three-game road trek.
"We had a lot of guys raise their level tonight," said Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett. "We got a couple of big goals from Chipchura and the rest of the guys stepped up. We need a team effort every night if we want to win consistently."
Mike Smith stopped 29-of-31 shots in the victory.
Jason Garrison and Henrik Sedin each scored once for the Canucks, who have dropped two straight.
"We knew what to expect here and we just didn't respond very well," said Sedin. "They played exactly the way we thought they would and just couldn't get anything going."
Cory Schneider allowed three goals on 21 shots in the setback.
Chipchura opened the scoring at the 14:22 mark of the first when he won a scrum behind the net and skated into the slot before backhanding a shot high over the glove of Schneider for a 1-0 lead.
Phoenix doubled its advantage just before the midpoint of the second when David Rundblad's shot from the right point was blocked by Vancouver forward Maxim Lapierre, but the puck ended up on the stick of Boedker in the slot before the Phoenix winger backhanded a shot high over the glove of Schneider to push the margin to 2-0 at the 9:54 mark.
The Canucks countered just over 90 seconds later, as Ryan Kesler recovered a loose puck behind the net and fed the disc into the high slot for Garrison, who beat Smith low to the glove-side to make it 2-1 at the 11:25 mark.
Vermette's wrister at the 12:32 mark of the third restored Phoenix's two-goal lead, but Vancouver again answered just over a minute later when Daniel Sedin rifled a blast from the top of the right circle that Henrik Sedin redirected through the five-hole of Smith to make it 3-2 at the 13:36 mark.
Smith was able to hold the Canucks off the board from there before Chipchura added an empty-netter with 23 seconds left to account for the final margin.
Phoenix has won three straight against Vancouver ... Chipchura now has four
goals this season to tie his career high ... Phoenix went 0-for-1 on the power

AT&T on Saturday issued a brief initial response to Federal Communications Commission letters of inquiry sent to Apple, AT&T and Google on Friday regarding their roles in the rejection of Google Voice-enabled apps. Addressing concerns that it may have denied the apps to exclude a service that provides lower-cost long distance and SMS without using its data network, AT&T spokesman Brad Mays flatly denied any link between AT&T and decisions made by Apple as to which apps are allowed on the App Store, instead putting the responsibility on the iPhone maker. A larger response is said to be forthcoming.

Have you ever experienced driving a vehicle which is not in good condition? Obviously it will be the worst experience in your life. Troubling vehicle, irresponsive brakes, wandering steering are the symptoms which indicate that the wheel bearing in the vehicle is worn out. When you see the wheel bearing, it is one of the smallest part in your vehicle but it has a lot of responsibilities. The wheel bearing is the one which gives lubrication to the wheels to enjoy friction-free driving experience. Also, the GMC wheel bearing also has an additional responsibility of carrying the load of the vehicle. Supporting the weight of the vehicle when running miles together is a tough job and the wheel bearing in good condition does this at ease. The factory fitted original equipment may one day needs replacement and you need to find original OEM replacement. You can find that the part needs replacement just by encountering a few symptoms. The very first symptom is the noise. The GMC wheel bearing when worn out gives unusual and continuous humming noise. Also crossing 100,000 miles in your vehicle is also another indicator that your wheel bearing needs replacement.
