For centuries Tibetan Buddhists have relied on a collection of fifty-nine pith teachings (called lojong in Tibetan) to help them develop wisdom and compassion amid the challenges of daily living. In this book Pema Chödrön introduces these transformative teachings and offers guidance on how to make them part of our everyday lives. The lojong teachings include: "Always maintain only a joyful mind," "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Don't be so predictable," and "Be grateful to everyone." Each slogan is followed by Pema Chödrön's accessible and succinct commentary on how to understand and apply it. This book also features a forty-five-minute audio program entitled "Opening the Heart," in which Pema Chödrön offers in-depth instruction on tonglen meditation, a powerful practice that anyone can undertake to awaken compassion for oneself and others.
Pema Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun and one of the foremost students of Chögyam Trungpa, the renowned meditation master. She is the author of The Wisdom of No Escape, Start Where You Are, and The Places That Scare You,… More about Pema Chodron

Trust vs. the Goldwing [hack]
I'm a self-proclaimed geek and sucker for projects. So when my friend informed me that her old iBook G3 was functioning on the level of a doorstop, I offered to buy it from her for $100. I'm also a haggler and trader. The iBook had multiple issues, but first it needed a new harddrive. Enter an old roommate who had some spare laptop drives (2.5") lying around. I traded him my old router w/ 9dB corner antenna that I got for less than $25 after mail-in rebate for a 40GB drive. iBook + drive + weekend = one newly functioning laptop. This thing was still a brick - you couldn't move the lid once you openned it, or the backlight thought you'd closed the thing and would shut off, but the LCD kept functioning. What a piece of work. But hey - for $125, it kept me in touch with the world during a year of travels and travails. I finally got sick of it, bought one of the first intel iMacs and put the iBook on Craigslist. No dice in months, despite many "interested" parties. ("Yeah man, I want your laptop, here, trade me this sic set of speakers man...." )
In the meantime, I'd gotten hungry for another motorcycle project, and when the guys didn't bite in the trade for the paintball gear, I emailed a fellow who had been repeatedly posting his "Non-running goldwing with sidecar," and proposed an even trade. He seemed more excited about it than I was (which is impressive ). I grabbed a friend's trailer and we took the ride out to meet the bike and show the owner the laptop. He was satisfied, and since his ad was for $300, we wrote up the paperwork as a $300 purchase. [YFF's do what you want, I feel honesty is the best way to go.] (He didn't know I got the laptop for $125... )
So - paperwork done, we loaded up the trailer (and SUV) with the bike, hack, and parts, and drove it home!
That was.... a while ago. I'll keep the rest of this first post available to do any indexing necessary.
Oh, specs: Bike is a 1982 Goldwing (GL1100 I think) with unknown type of hack.

Round 2
Yes, there was no Round 1. Well - there was, but I didn't take many, if any, pictures - because at that point I was just pushing through and seeing what could be done. I didn't realize it would come to what it has.
So we'll pick up with our hero in mid-April. At this point he's realized: The engine is stuck. The pistons won't budge, and he probably fried something starter-related when stubbornly trying to start it without drenching the thing in PB-Blaster. He's also learned that a fully-faired bike is a PAIN to strip, especially one that sat outside under a loosely secured cover for two years.
By mid-April (this year), I had the fairings off, the valve covers and valves off (after the failed attempt to break free the motor), and finally accepted that the engine would be coming out of the frame ... at least the cylinders needed work, if nothing else.
Did I mention it was stored outside?
Yeah; outside and under a cover - that leaked enough so that when we picked it up water ran out from some crevice in which it had been collecting.
Here's another shot of the right side cylinders:
Thanks to Nemo DeNovo and his Dnepr Ressurection, I got some inspiration and hope to keep going on this project, or it likely would not have made it past the point of opening up the cylinders and finding that gunk. I don't need any more projects....
See what I mean?
But hey - it cost me basically $125!!! I can't not try!!!
So I beat on it for the beginning of April, trying to get the valve covers off. I finally got them off, and found the aforementiond goo. First attempt to get the pistons moving was two weeks straight of PB-Blaster around the pistons, and beating on them with a wood block and hammer. Yeah, no dice. Then I added heat! ... still no dice. Okay screw it, I'm just going to have to pull the pistons off.
No problem, did it with the DR650 - how much harder can it be with a GoldWing???

Round 3
I finally gave in and started taking pictures when I realized what I'd gotten myself into.
This is the front point where the frame comes apart. [Keep in mind, by this point, I've removed the exhaust, fairings, and engine guards. If you ever decide to repeat what I've done, those removals alone can take a day or more.] Remove the nut and the acorn nut, and it should pop right off, right? Hah. Sure.
With the front point loose (those are through-bolts, they stay on the part of the frame that will remain), it was time for the rear-points. Here's a shot of them. Note: My camera sucks. I got it from the same friend that I got the laptop from, when she was done using the camera. I got the camera for free. Deal with it. Or you can buy me a new one!
Dead center of that image there are actually two bolts like on the front. I know, it doesn't look like it, that's because 1, the image sucks, and 2, there's a footrest in the way! I had avoided taking that footrest off because the nut holding it on there - well - here, I'll just show you.
See that nut just above and right-of center in the image? There's about 1.5mm of clearance between that nut and the footrest. What a pain to get off. Well that nut was also holding the removeable portion of the frame. So it had to come off. Patience young grasshoppah... Okay Mister Miyagi, it's off, now what? Now, you grind away the spacer that has rusted to the bolt behind it. What? Yes, Trust-San, you use your trusty dremel and three cut off wheels to grind your way through the rusted spacer which has now affixed itself to the through-bolt holding the removeable frame to the main frame.
You'll notice that I'm using a flashlight instead of a flash. That's because my camera eats batteries for lunch as soon as the flash is even enabled. So unless it's a high-importance shot, y'all are gett'n ambient light... or a flashlight if necessary.
Three cutting wheels on the dremel, two nostrils full of steel dust, and one hour later, the sucker comes loose, and then I pry it off. The removeable portion of the frame follows suit.
(That image also shows the left side cylinders. The wetness is residual PB-Blaster.)
I literally yelled "Hallelujia!" I was so relieved this thing was even off, I wasn't thinking about how much there's left to be done. Here's an image of the threads from that bolt that the spacer was rusted on to. I think I'm going to need a die to clean that up a bit.
Okay - now we just "support the engine with a floor jack" and slide the thing right out! When am I going to learn? I have a craftsman roly jack that's not exactly a scissor jack, but it is a lever-type, not a bottle type. I could barely get the jack under the engine with a 2x4 in there to protect the block, and had one heck of a time balancing the engine on the jack. I start trying to maneuver, and realize "Something is not right here." Well - first thing's first: check the manual!
Freaking camera. It says
But the manual wants me to disconnect it at the engine .... I see no way to do so. So instead I use the quick release connecters further up the line.
Fantastic, manual says it's loose, let's move it! .... It won't budge. Well - it wil budge, but not MOVE. Um, okay - .... let's try totally removing some of those motor mounts that I simply disconnected earlier. Here's one! I took out the lower bolt earlier, but what happens if I remove the other two bolts as well, and take off the whole brace??
Hey, it moves for real now! ... no wait, it doesn't, it just moves more. Fraaack. Seriously, wtf???
Some more poking around reveals that another motor mount that I had removed the bolt from before was still sticking. The right-side rear motor mount, shown below. I whacked it good with a wood block and hammer, and wahooooooo! The motor's free!!
Now I can just slide the whole thing over to the pallet, using the craftsman jack - oooooooh sh1t! Something is hung up! .... The manual says to disconnect the clutch cable at the motor. (Said cable is conveniently located in the above image.) I looked and looked and looked and looked ... and really couldn't figure it out. So instead I disconnected it at the clutch lever, but didn't de-route the cable. Well now it's hung up and almost pulls the motor off the jack. Okay, de-route the cable and set the thing on the pallet.
And now that the engine is out - it turns out that I really could have disconnected the cable at the engine; I was looking way too hard. I found the spot I was looking for and disconnected the cable. Whoops, chalk another up to experience.
Next, SPLITTING THOSE CASES!!!!
Oh, and yes - there *is* a hack buried in here! .... somewhere....

Hey Trust
Why not find a used low mileage GL1100 motor that works? I found one at a salvage yard for $400 with 30k on it. I now have 60k+ on it, and all I had to do was pull the old motor out and put the new one in.
If you're in need, I still have my old '81 GL1100 motor. It had low compression, used oil at high rpm, and it sometimes would slip out of maybe 3rd gear. It towed a sidecar, and had 85k on the motor when I pulled it. It was running when I pulled it, and has been stored in a dry unheated shed. I'll sell it cheap for parts if interested.

Gotta agree with Mike. There are GL1100 engines and even complete bikes out there at good prices. Good enough to make doing a real rebuild on an exisitng one questionable.

The rust on those gears doesn't look bad enough to cause a problem. Use a small wire brush to clean it off. As long as there's no serious pitting of the gear teeth it'll be fine, some discoloration is OK. If you undo the rods on the pistons that are stuck, then you can pull the crank and the tranny shafts and get everything else out of the case. Mark the rods & caps and don't mix them up, they are not interchangeable. You may have to use a press to get the stuck pistons out, be careful to get the piston centered under the press when you do it. If the piston cocks in the cylinder when you press it, you could break something. Also, support both edges of the case completely while pressing so you don't warp the case.
I agree it would be easier to just change the engine, but that one can be saved with a new set of pistons. I'd recommend boring it to the first oversize tho, just to be sure all the rust pitting is gone.
A Subaru engine ain't going to work unless you put a BMW/Ural/Dnepr/Chang tranny behind it, cause yours is part of the engine. It would be alot of fun tho, you can get well over 200 horsepower out of a Subaru 4 cylinder. But it would be hell to kickstart, so BMW or Ural trans would be your best bet

Thanks for the Advice
Excellent guys, thanks for the advice. And while I think the subaru engine would be awesome, the used GL drop in just seems like a good choice.
I found this on eb@y today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120420578372
The ebay item is from a 1982, the bike I have is a 1983. They seemed to be awefully darn close from everything I could find in the pictures; anyone know the interchangeability of an '82 and an '83?

I'd mine the Goldwing sites for info. Some years seemed to eat the alternators and you had to split the cases to fix them. I think they improved the design later, but I have no firsthand knowledge. I'd figure out the best year that looks like it fits and go looking for that motor.

the first three years.
ie. at 100 kilometres and hour (64 mph) the tach on the first three years of Goldwings will read 4000 rpm.
With the 1983 Wing that engine will be turning over at 3400 rpm for the same 64 mph.
Which in theory is somewhat better for hauling a sidecar. Lower RPM< more torque.
Now...althugh you're well into it and I have no idea where you dwell...
I have sitting here a pristine 1981 Honda Goldwing Interstate
for sale. Pristine in that it runs and is in regular use.
it has 150,000 mies on the clock, doesn't burn oil and goes like stink.
And it has had in its past had a Hedingham sidecar mounted.
The bike runs, very well.
I'll take US$2100 for it...and I am located an hour from the uS-Canadian border...

Long time comin'
So there's an album of the project here, if any of you want to just view pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/detsurt/...eat=directlink
When we left off, I was going to buy a new motor, instead of hone the cylinders and reassemble the engine that I gutted.
I went on ebay, hoping to get something dirt cheap - found an engine just outside of Pittsburgh for around two hundred. I missed that auction by hours due to some birthday partying. No mind though, it was an engine from an '82, and that might not have been a direct drop-in. The following weeks had me track down an '83 in Eastern Ohio, and I had a friend pick it up for me after the sale completed. (Saved me $300 in shipping!) So he drove the engine up here, and we spent the weekend putting it in. 15 minutes before he left, we hooked up jumper cables to the car (the GL battery was dead - I found this out after leaving it on the charger to trickle... ) - and she fired up!
The long story:
The tub is in good condition, I snapped a few pictures of it before...
But before we can pull the tub, gotta get the tug runnin'!
The engine arrives late Friday afternoon.
Cue Angelic Chorus:
Cue ominous sounding dark chorus:
First: Tie everything that hangs in the way, out of the way! Run all the cables you can. Hoses too, get them as close as possible.
That thing's goin in that hole. After much wiggling, finagling, and coaxing, it's in. Really - it was several hours of wiggling, finagling, and coaxing.
If you ever have to do this, it's worth it to mention; the engine doesn't have to be level - in fact, the rear is slightly more elevated than the front; we ended up proping it up with a scrap board.
Remember to keep everything tied up out of your way (including the fuel pump)
This bolt in on the right side of the frame - it goes in first. Once this one is in, it's much easier going. It took some persuading with a big bar...
The upper engine mount (triangle with three chrome bolts) can stay on the right side of the frame. Taking the left one off helps in removal. As soon as you can, get the left one back on, and use the bottom of the three chrome bolts as your second point to secure the engine to the frame.
Note: I haven't reinstalled the frame rail (left side of frame) yet.
Here's the left side upper engine mount. If you have to take the engine back out to move something once it's in, remember: You have to remove this piece again!
In our case, we had neglected to grab the vacuum hose seen at the top of this picture (the picture is the rear case of the old engine). We were trying to figure out what the vacuum hose could be for, since it wasn't connected to anything when I got the bike originally. A veteran Honda mech said it was for the timing advance - and attaches to the carburetor.
This is the beast of a carburetor. Holy cow. The thing had to be partially assembled, then inserted into the frame, then assembled the rest of the way. If you've done an older goldwing carb before; you know there are these plastic rings that make the seal in the throat of the piston that operates the needle. I suppose these are better than easily broken bladders, but ... well there are bladders there anyway, they're just in a different spot. And yes, I could probably go back in and redo the bladders and it would be good, as they were on their way out....
Don't forget to plug the intake and sparkplug holes: my partner in crime reminded me that we didn't want to be taking apart this engine to find a wayward piece of anything.
Connect the throttle and choke cables. Man - those things are a bear. Cheers for nimble fingers. ... and to think - I have to take it all apart to put the carb rebuild kits in .... I'm getting ahead of myself though...
In and all hooked up. Oil filled (new filter ordered), new plugs (autolites) in (NGK's ordered), Coolant system filled with water (no point in wasting antifreeze if there's a leak) - I'll just flush it all later anyway, tank cleaned out of as much old gas as possible (use a shopvac with hose on the blower nozzle to put positive pressure in the filler hole, and just drain the regular feeder hose into the waste container - worked like a charm!), new gas in and starter fluid ready.
Fire in the hole....
It runs!!
Let it run for a few minutes to get everything circulating, check for leaks, and shut it off.
Turns out there's some gas leaking from the carbs, there's oil burning off the pipes, and a little bit of water coming out of the coolant system (hose clamp that wasn't quite tight enough, or small enough). No major explosions, or other errors, and it runs! On the list now:
Rebuild the carbs
Rebuild the brakes
Oil filter change (change the oil again?)
Proper hose clamps on the coolant system (and fill with antifreeze)
Possibly replace the tires (car tire on the rear?)
Tighten the handlebars
More pictures via that first link, if you're interested.

The day was just surreal. I woke up knowing stress awaited. Had to get my ass off of MV, make sure the house was perfect, pack/load my gear, rush to a new ferry location, (shit, petrol light now?), ticket, board, unboard, etc. etc. And then I'm welcomed like family into a stranger's home who immediately aren't strangers at all, then it's off again....board another ferry, repeat. And then I arrive where I need to be 11 hours after I left, cold and starving (thank god for Mary feeding me in MA!). Only arriving where I needed to be wasn't precise enough and I couldn't access my email A half mile of boats and docks is not easy to navigate in the dark while carrying a bunch of gear.
I was pointed in the direction I needed to be by a drunken, gruff, but very friendly, (it's NY, not CA, where everyone freaks out if a stranger talks to them) sailor carrying a bag of trash. The pictures below paint the picture, but what is lacking is what's going through my mind. I think it needs a neologism. The definition would be:
1. ease of mind after exertion or labor
2. relief when exposed to anything that wearies, troubles, or disturbs
3. spiritual or mental tranquility, despite the conditions that led to it
asequence (ah SEE qwee ens) would make sense - arriving at a peaceful location or mental state despite the stressful, antagonistic conditions encountered or required to get there.

Bude romp to victory
Posted: June 29, 2012|
BUDE Pilot Gig Club won the men's veterans' plate at the Mixed and Veterans Pilot Gig Rowing Championships.
The Championships took place on the River Tamar, Saltash at the Caradon Pilot Gig Club, with crews from all over the South West taking part.
The weather on Saturday was not conducive to happy rowing but Bude's Mixed team fought valiantly against wind, rain and tide and took third place in the quarter finals.
Sunday's weather was much more clement and two crews of Vets arrived at Saltash from Bude to take part in the Championships.
The Ladies Vets had a good race, coming third in the first and second heats but passed the glory this time to Bude Mens Vets team.
After a hard fought battle in the first round where the first three gigs home went onto the semi-final, Bude Men Vets convincingly won the next two heats and romped past the finish line in first place.

Kingma good to go, Johnson still waiting
FROM PULLMAN — Washington State officially confirmed the transfer of Brett Kingma from Oregon to play for the Cougars men's basketball team this season. He's enrolled in classes and is part of the team going forward.
The big news: Kingma, a sought-after guard from Mill Creek, Wash., who held multiple Pac-12 offers as a high-school senior in 2011, will be a walk-on at WSU.
As far as I know, it's unclear if Kingma's walk-on status will matter in regards to the NCAA transfer rule — he should still have to sit out this season, though there has been no official word from WSU in that regard.
WSU is still waiting for the NCAA to rule on the eligibility of freshman Que Johnson, who is in Pullman and is taking classes. A decision is expected relatively soon.

Corpus Christi police use Taser to extract wanted man from underneath child's bed
CORPUS CHRISTI - Police Tasered and arrested a 37-year-old man wanted on an assault warrant Thursday after finding him hiding underneath a bed in his child's room, Corpus Christi police report.
Officers were called about 10 a.m. to a home in the 500 block of Dixon Drive after reports of a disturbance between a couple.
Police discovered a man at the residence had an outstanding warrant on suspicion of assaulting his wife and tried to arrest him, but he hid under a bed and refused to come out, police said.
Officers used a Taser to shock the man, who complied with their commands and was taken into custody.
By Friday, he had bonded out of the Nueces County Jail on $500 bail, jail officials said.

Editor's note: The following is part five in a summer series of some of the most memorable moments in Barton athletics
It's the Fourth of July weekend and in Great Bend that means get your hard hat. I have never been in a town that allows more freedom of Independence Day than right here in Great Bend.
Several former Barton Community College athletes competed in their respective countries national track and field championships recently.
EUGENE, Ore. – There is still some speed in the feet of the former Barton Community College sprinter.
It was probably inevitable that Dennan Morrow was going to coach basketball. His father was a high school coach for 30 years and he grew up in gymnasiums.
It was a good season for the Barton Community College athletes on the field. There were All American honors, records broken and championships won.
Part four in a series of some of the most memorable moments in Barton athletics
The summer heat is upon us. With the summer beginning to hit full-stride that means it's time for wheat harvest and national track championships.

Here's a simple DL invitation from 1982. I seem to recall that I used to knock out stuff like this almost on a daily basis. And I was lucky to be able to get away with such a simple concept on this one.
But look how 1980s it looks (at least to me). The white border for a start. It seems that everying I did in the early eighties had a 5mm white border. Maybe it was just fashion. Or maybe it was because printers would charge (a lot) extra for anything that bled off the page. Why? Because they could, probably.
And then there's the typography. You wouldn't think that one word could say so much. But only to a typographer.
And another sign of its times: this was an invitation to a 'Taste of England Crunch' on board the frigate HMS Londonderry in Nice Harbour. Needless to say, I wasn't invited to the event myself.

Sometime in the mid-1980s I designed a leaflet for the English Tourist Board (I designed lots and lots of leaflets for the English Tourist Board in the 1980s). This particular leaflet was called 'Favourite Walks'. I haven't found the leaflet yet, but I have found some artwork - including the illustration for the front cover:
I commissioned this from Kipper Williams.
But the thing was I'd done a cover design visual by adapting an illustration that I'd discovered somewhere - it was by a cartoonist called Joe. And the client didn't like this new illustration by Kipper - she much preferred the one done by Joe that was on the mock-up. And so I had to track down Joe and commission him instead:
So this is the one that ended up on the front cover. And I guess the client was right (actually, perhaps the client is always right). What do you think?

This is one of those things that I can't remember doing. 1969-70 was the final year of our graphic design course, and there were 15 people that I shared a studio with. And I photographed them all.
And what strikes me over 40 years on? Well, just how 'English' they all were. And how many of them smoked - including many of those who aren't smoking here. That was a bug that never bit me. I wasn't born to be a smoker. But, looking at these again now, I just wonder how much the cigarettes were shields - something to hide behind and disguise their insecurities.
And the surprises? Well, that they all agreed to be photographed - even though they wouldn't all acknowledge the camera. But more surprising than that is that I have absolutely no recollection of two of them (one male, one female).
I'd like to tell you that I could name them all, but I can't. And for only two could I give you both their christian and surnames. And those two, I guess, were my best friends at the time.
But we all moved on. I wonder what happened to them all. And what stories they may have to tell.
Who knows? They may even be looking at themselves on this post right now.
Here they (or you) are - in no particular order:
And in case you're wondering: what's with the double exposure? That's what the inside of his head was like.

I told you last week that I've been having a bit of a clear out. It's stuff that's been hidden away in the attic for years. Stuff that has no other purpose but to remind me of where I've been and what I've done. And most of this batch seems to consist of either college work or artwork and print samples from the 1980s. What surprises me, looking back, is just how productive I was. Or how productive I had to be - which is probably more like it.
And the other surprise is that there are things in there that I can't even remember doing.
Anyway, most of this stuff is now on it's way to the recycling facility. It's pointless keeping hold of it any longer. But so that it doesn't completely disappear without trace I'm going to post a few things up here. Which at least will mean that they continue to live on for a little while longer.
So let me introduce you now to my very first 'proper' professional assignment - a little leaflet for what was then British Rail. And the story is this: I didn't design this. I just artworked it. And only for the money.
You see, I left college on a Friday and (you'll be astounded at this) I already had my first two jobs lined up for me, the first of which started the following Monday. (I told you about those jobs, or at least the buildings they were in, here and here.)
One of my college lecturers was off on holiday at the end of term, and therefore asked me to artwork this freelance job that he'd been working on, and to deliver it to the British Rail production office on the Monday morning. Which I was pleased to do. The money was good. And I remain grateful for that.
And the moral of this story? Well, you may very well have your sights set on a black pencil, but sometimes it's necessary to do this job for nothing other than the money. And that's OK.
But not all the time - that would be soul destroying.

We've been having a bit of a clear out of the attic. And we've unpacked a whole load work samples. Including this font, which I designed in 1973 (and therefore all drawn by hand). It never got to see the light of day, though.
And to think I was living in Manchester at the time. If only I'd stayed there for the next 30 years I could have sold it to Oasis.

Javale McGee is quickly becoming my favorite player in the NBA. The guy always seems to make a highlight. Whether it's throwing the ball into the stands on accident, or jamming on his own teammate against the Lakers. Last night he did it again when the Denver Nuggets beat the Houston Rockets 105-95. McGee decided to bring out his inner dunk contest and throw a self alley-oop. The dunk was quite impressive, but the finger mustache that he gave himself after the dunk made it the highlight of the night. Keep up with the McGee's BABY!! Video is below.

Still have to sort and stuff.
Still have to sort and stuff.
While it's got some flaws, the combat is great and the environments - while not very complex geometrically - feel vast and alive in a way few of the Elder Scrolls games managed to, especially with the day/night cycle where the nights actually get really dark.
It's been a fantastic year for free to play games, Planetside, Tribes and Blacklight: Retribution have all rivaled the fun I've had in full priced multiplayer FPSes like Black Ops 2 or Battlefield 3 during the year. The scope of Planetside is breathtaking, the shooting part is solid and it's the first time probably since Battlefield 2's multiplayer campaign mode there's been the sense that the outcome of every small skirmish has an lasting impact on the larger battle.
Jeff's review said it quite well. The singleplayer campaign isn't great, but the game really shines in the multiplayer mode. Even when you end up last in an event, the dumb stunts and crashes, and the way players fuck with each other without being actual dickheads, like what you usually encounter in console multiplayer games, is incredibly enjoyable. Heck, I'm not even all that fond of driving games, and especially the revered Burnout Paradise didn't jive with me much.
Along with FTL Giana Sisters proved that the Kickstarter model could work, and apart from that, it was a stunningly beautiful platformer that in most ways outdid the original, even though I didn't really like the changes to the music.

Arbitration Filing Numbers
Many players will avoid arbitration today, and dozens of others exchanged figures with their teams in anticipation of hearings. Most cases won't go to arbitration hearings, but teams such as the Rays, Marlins, Blue Jays and Braves are known for their 'file and trial' policies. For players on those teams this marks the last chance at negotiations before a hearing.
MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker will keep you up to date on every one of the filing numbers from around the game, but here are the highlights — players who filed for $4MM or more. Now for the details…
- Clayton Richard filed for $5.55MM while the Padres offered $4.905MM, according to CBSSports.com.

Motte, Cardinals Avoid Arbitration
The Cardinals avoided arbitration with Jason Motte, agreeing to a one-year deal, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. Motte, an ACES client, will earn a base salary of $1.95MM in 2012 and could earn $75K more in incentives.
As MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows, that's the midpoint between the Cardinals' $1.5MM submission and Motte's request of $2.4MM. The Cardinals have now signed all of their arbitration eligible players.

Quick Hits: Motte, Cespedes, Garcia, Angels
On this date last year, the White Sox selected Philip Humber off of waivers from the Athletics. The right-hander posted a 3.75 ERA with 6.4 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 163 innings in 2011 and projects to start for Chicago in 2012. We didn't see anyone claimed on waivers today, but we do have these links…
- A multiyear deal between the Cardinals and Jason Motte is 'in play,' though nothing is close, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tweets. Motte filed for $2.4MM in arbitration, with the Cardinals countering at $1.5MM, as our Arbitration Tracker shows.
- Outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hit his first home run since joining the Dominican Winter League and you can view a clip of it here (hat tip: Keith Law).
- Another Cuban, left-hander Onelkis Garcia, will be eligible for the 2012 amateur draft, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports. MLB made Garcia eligible to MLB teams as last year's draft approached, before making him ineligible at the last minute. Scouts tell Badler the 22-year-old projects as a reliever and could be selected in the third round this June.
- Angels GM Jerry Dipoto explained to Lance Pugmire of the LA Times that at one point during the Winter Meetings, the Angels had people negotiating with representatives for C.J. Wilson, LaTroy Hawkins and Albert Pujols in three different places.
- Indians president Mark Shapiro, who is depicted in the Moneyball movie, told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com that he enjoyed the film for what it was. "I appreciate why most people would like it," Shapiro said. "But I felt like it was an oversimplified kind of view, which is kind of what you have to do when you take a lot of history and condense it into an hour and a half."

Cardinals Pursuing Matt Holliday
SATURDAY, 7:05pm: Peter Gammons tweets (account protected) that any discussions would have to start with Brett Wallace, as the A's don't need to trade Holliday.
FRIDAY, 11:13pm: The Cardinals are "redoubling efforts to acquire" Matt Holliday, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Strauss says the Cards have warmed to the idea of offering a multiplayer package. They were previously reluctant to send a Ryan Ludwick-fronted package to Colorado in November. Strauss believes that the Cardinals would now probably be willing to offer Ludwick, one of Jason Motte, Chris Perez, and Kyle McClellan, and a prospect to Holliday's current team, the Athletics. Strauss adds:
Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr., who opposed the November deal for Holliday, is apparently on board with assuming the remainder of Holliday's $13.5 million salary.
Only about $7.6MM remains on Holliday's contract, and he is of course a free agent after the season. Holliday, a Scott Boras client, currently profiles as a Type A free agent despite a decrease in production with Oakland.
Ludwick has about $2MM remaining on his contract this year. He's under team control through 2011 as an arbitration-eligible player. Ludwick was actually drafted by the A's in 1999, 60th overall. In 2002, they sent him to the Rangers with Gerald Laird and others for Carlos Pena and Mike Venafro. Ludwick, like Holliday, has dropped off significantly from his huge 2008 season.

Gammons' Latest: Red Sox, Washburn, DeRosa
In his latest blog post at ESPN.com, Peter Gammons writes that "unless someone comes up with a Justin Smoak, Matt LaPorta or Brett Wallace," the Red Sox will hold on to Brad Penny and enjoy the depth. He says no one will offer up a prospect like that for a few months of Penny.
Here's the rest of Gammons' rumors:
- Takashi Saito is the pitcher on Boston's staff most likely to be traded.
- Jake Peavy and Erik Bedard "probably won't be tradeable before Aug. 1" because of their injuries.
- Jarrod Washburn could be had.
- The Red Sox have talked to the Angels about infielder Maicer Izturis, but the talks haven't gone anywhere
- Mark Mulder "made considerable progress refinding his delivery after one session with pitching coach Rick Peterson."
- The Mets are looking for an outfield bat. They made a run at Mark DeRosa, but wouldn't discuss Bobby Parnell.
- The Cardinals wouldn't discuss Jason Motte or Chris Perez in exchange for DeRosa.
- The uncertain situation surrounding the Cubs' ownership will likely prohibit any major additions.

Originally written on Section 303 | Last updated 12/28/11
Within the past 36 hours, the Nashville Predators have recalled two top prospects from their AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. On Monday they recalled defenseman Ryan Ellis and today they announced that forward Gabriel Bourque was on his way to Music City. Bourque, Nashville's fifth round pick in 2009, tallied 18 goals and 36 points in his first pro season last year. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down either as he's already amassed 16 points in 25 games this season. He leads all Admirals in assists (14) and is their seventh leading scorer. But are the Predators really calling Bourque up for scoring depth? Not likely. Nashville, as of now, has a healthy forward roster and adding someone else is interesting. Also, teams usually don't recall players on non-game days because it doesn't make financial sense to do so. In this case, Bourque was officially recalled on a non-game day and in the middle of the afternoon, not around 11am or noon, per usual. It'll be interesting to s...

Overall it was a good stay. The staffs are friendly. The best thing I like about it is we have key of the main entrance door. Make me feel secured to leave behind my belongings even if the staff is not around. Above all this , it could be better if the partitioned room has more sound absorbed. It would make me feel more comfortable and enjoy own private space better. Regarding the toilet , it was clean and fresh, however one of the toilet's light was blown out since night til next day.Thk

No common space to enjoy the river, couch was continuously occupied by hotel staff talking on the opine and watching TV. The bathrooms and single rooms without AC smelt mouldy and were very hot. The rooms with AC were 80 RM, therefore compared to other hotels I would say this was below average for the price.

Very good place. Close to everything. The staff are friendly. Good breakfast. I recommend! The only problem at the border of Singapore is if you are a smoker. You can not bring more than a pack of cigarettes. If you take, then you are breaking the law and have to pay a fine.

BETSY NEAHRING: Newborn screenings important
I've heard people say that babies should come with instruction manuals — but if they did, I bet most people wouldn't read them.
When Daniel was born, we received a whole bunch of paperwork during his hospital stay, full of really useful information, but unfortunately, I was too tired, sore, and overwhelmed to read all of it.
Even though I didn't finish my reading and my memory of those first few days is a little fuzzy, I do recall that Daniel had several tests before he left the hospital to ensure that he was healthy. One important test performed on every infant is a blood test commonly referred to as the newborn screen.
The newborn screen is part of a public health program designed to identify genetic and metabolic conditions that affect infants. The goal is to diagnose disorders that are not readily apparent at the time of birth, but can cause mental retardation, disability or even death if left untreated for too long.
Since affected infants initially appear normal, testing is the only way to ensure that babies are diagnosed early and begin treatment promptly to avoid complications.
Initial newborn screening programs focused on testing for phenylketonuria (PKU), an inborn error of metabolism that causes a child to process certain proteins improperly, ultimately leading to brain damage and severe developmental delay. However, if infants are diagnosed early and placed on a special formula and appropriate dietary restrictions, this devastating outcome can be avoided and they can lead a normal life.
Other disorders like thyroid disease and sickle cell anemia that are asymptomatic in the newborn period can also be picked up early through screening, allowing treatment to begin before problems develop.
A few drops of your child's blood (usually from a small heel stick) are collected on a piece of filter paper and sent to a specialized laboratory for evaluation.
The timing of the blood collection is important. Since the tests check for metabolic problems, the baby needs to be at least 24 to 48 hours old (and feeding enough to metabolize) to get an accurate sample. If your baby leaves the hospital before that time, he should return in the first week of life to repeat the test.
Extreme prematurity, illness, special feedings and blood transfusions can all affect the test results and often repeat testing is necessary in these circumstances as well.
Although there are national guidelines that provide recommendations, each state chooses what disorders it will include in its screening program. Many states (including Indiana) have added expanded newborn screening tests to their core panel, allowing them to check for over 20 additional rare but treatable disorders.
In addition, infants should receive a hearing screening before leaving the hospital.
While this is not a blood test, it is a vital part of the newborn screening process since it is also important to identify any hearing problems as early in life as possible.
You should be notified within a few weeks if your baby has an abnormal test result, but it never hurts to ask your child's doctor for results at the two- or four-week check to make sure your paperwork did not get lost or misdirected. Since these tests are just a screening tool, an abnormal result does not necessarily mean that your baby has a problem, but it should always be a sign to repeat the test and/or follow up with a more specialized diagnostic evaluation.
Nobody wants to see their baby get poked, but over the last 50 years, newborn screening tests have saved thousands of children from needless death or disability.
Plus, none of the babies remember the poke when they grow up!

Why is One Missed Call rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: One Missed Call is rated PG-13 for for intense sequences of violence and terror, frightening images, some sexual material and thematic elements.
This thriller turns a cell phone ring tone into a scary experience when people receive a missed call notification dated within the next couple of days, and then they die from gruesome deaths at the exact time of the message. While not particularly gory and with very little blood displayed, the deaths are still bothersome. Characters are impaled with construction rebar, run over by a train (a dismembered hand is seen holding a cell phone), and drowned in a pond. An unseen spirit kills one character during an exorcism in a church during which statues of Jesus Christ and Mary are shown with scary faces. Discussions of child abuse and a depiction of a woman verbally abusing a child are included. An image of a person hanging is seen—suicide is implied. Language consists of both moderate and mild profanities along with terms of Christian deity used as expletives. Sexual content consists of a brief mention of the term "phone sex" and a couple is briefly shown in their underwear after they are interrupted in a bedroom. A secondary character is smoking a cigarette and others are drinking socially.

Astros claim Alex Presley off waivers from Twins
Mar 27, 2014, 2:44 PM EDT
Alex Presley entered spring training atop the Twins' center field depth chart, but lost the starting job to Aaron Hicks and now he's headed to Houston after the Astros claimed him off waivers.
Presley is better suited to be a fourth outfielder anyway, so it's curious that the Twins didn't keep him around in the role even after deciding on Hicks as the starter. They currently don't have a second outfielder capable of playing center field on the roster.
Presley is a good defender in the corners and stretched in center, and he's a 28-year-old career .264 hitter with a .715 OPS in 232 games. He was acquired by the Twins from the Pirates as part of the Justin Morneau trade last season.
Announcement: HardballTalk's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $100,000 Fantasy Baseball league for Opening Day's games (March 31). It's $25 to join and first prize is $15,000. Starts at 1:05pm ET on Opening Day. Here's the FanDuel link.

It the A's place Michael Taylor on waivers (as predicted by Heyman), Houston will have another chance to upgrade their outfield.
- jkaflagg - Mar 28, 2014 at 5:23 PM
That would be interesting, since Taylor was once traded for the recently released can't-miss prospect Brett Wallace….
- luvmnsports2012 - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:12 PM
Will someone please tell me when the Twins are gonna pick up players instead of get rid of them! Let's splash the pot a little and grab somebody GOOD rather than make space for someone of less value…or no one!!
- pmcenroe - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:44 PM
Pretty unlikely you are going to pickup any impact players off waivers in the waning days of ST. If they were "GOOD" they would be sticking on 25-man rosters.
- stex52 - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:19 PM
I'm curious how the outfield depth plays out. Fowler in center is a lock. They certainly not long on talent elsewhere, but if George Springer is not up by June they may face armed rebellion in Houston. With Fowler in place I assume Springer will grab one of the outfield positions.
How about a 1st baseman and more pitching?
- rollinghighwayblues - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:24 PM
Hey, you already had Wallace for a good amount of time. Don't get too greedy.
- stex52 - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:44 PM
No, sadly, we had Wallace for a bad time. That's why they call them prospects; you never know until they actually face major league pitching.
- jeffa43 - Mar 27, 2014 at 6:01 PM
Clearly you have not been paying attention my brother…
Grossman is hands down, no questions asked, the best hitting OF we have. He has Biggio qualities.
Kid is tearing up everything since July.
Fowler is a high paid?
Springer will be up in June.
Hoes will be awesome.
- thepittsburghkid - Mar 27, 2014 at 4:30 PM
I would like to see what Presley could do as a starter for a full season. I think he would surprise some people.
- percychuggs - Mar 27, 2014 at 4:59 PM
The Twins now have Jason Bartlett, who hit .086 in the spring, hasn't played in a MLB game since May of 2012, and who has NEVER PLAYED OUTFIELD IN HIS PRO CAREER, as their backup outfielder on the 25 man roster. What an absolute joke this organization has become. Bartlett is now the second Gardy Guy to make the 25 man roster who doesn't even belong in pro baseball anymore, with Jason Kubel being the other. Oh, and Kubel is probably going to start the year batting 3rd in the Twins lineup.
- musketmaniac - Mar 27, 2014 at 5:08 PM
Presley will hold the cf spot down, capable ball player. never had a chance in Pittsburgh. with cutch and marte.
- happytwinsfan - Mar 27, 2014 at 8:18 PM
did they really think that a perfectly serviceable fourth outfielder like pressely would clear waivers? the astros were the first in line to take him and i betcha they weren't the only ones lined up. do they really think that they can play the season with only one guy capable of covering center field without a bicycle?
god i hope they know something i don't know. oh well, sadtwinsfan is feeling very smug and drunkentwinsfan is very happy.
- joeyashwi - Mar 28, 2014 at 12:47 AM
The Twins sure are using that new stadium revenue to increase their payroll to be competitive. What a joke. Should have let them rot in the metrodome.
- tlow97 - Mar 30, 2014 at 10:24 AM
So this means Pressley will play out of his mind this year, right?

This is a battle I cannot end
i'm searching frantically for a friend
i've searched every place where he should be
but if he's anywhere in the vicinity he turned into a ghost no one can see
this is a fight I want fleetingly to end
somehow there must be a way to find my friend
what possible explanation could there be for him to simply disappear
especially because there's nowhere he should be but here
I'm not sure I can make it through this day
until I find out why it seems he's run away
he has a wife who's worried to the end of her wits
and nothing about this puzzle fits
why would a man just take off and leave?
a godly man who's wife has nothing else to do but cry and grieve
where is her beloved as I wonder the same?
and he'd better have a good explanation for playing such an unfair game
there are two teams and one is frightened to death
holding on to hope and holding her breath
if it takes all day and night I won't rest until I see his face
a man quick to pray, beseech his God and say "grace"
i'm looking for one man in the middle of millions of others
a man who owes an excuse for holding hostage the breath of his sisters and brothers
is he in a pew praying for god to end his turmoil,
because my legs are aching and his wife's blood is about to boil
where, my brother are you and why haven't you given us a call
is there any way for you to explain this all
if you're searching for shelter at least tell us where that may be
because as of now you've become a ghost no one can see
and so I'll sit here praying in this one horrid place
waiting to hear your voice or to see your face
you're wife is hurting beyond comprehension
so tell me, how can a man of god cause his wife such ungodly tension

The perfect place to play the part of a Florentine aristocrat is here at this 16th-century palazzo, which despite its massive halls and sweeping staircase could almost feel like home. Tapestries, collected by the antiquarian great-grandfather of proprietor Alberto Giannotti, adorn the walls. A sumptuous breakfast room, complete with Renaissance wood-coffered ceilings and a dramatic Murano chandelier, add large measures of elegance. Suites include large sitting rooms and bedrooms, all decorated with luxurious fabrics, chandeliers, and Renaissance-inspired furniture. The rooftop terrace, complete with bar, has citywide views. Though it's only a five-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the street is surprisingly quiet.

I have had the privilege and pleasure to be able to stay at this magnificent place 12 times over the last 6 years when I travel from Miami to Italy. The staff are professional and extraordinarily helpful. The rooms are superb, each one a suite and the location can't be beat: it is a very short walk across Ponte alla Carraia to Via Vigna Nuova and from there a straight shot - maybe 6 minutes walking - to the Centro Storico - all the advantages of
getting quickly to the "action" as well as those of returning quickly to the peace and tranquiity of this lovely palazzo. The views from the rooftop are well worth the stair climbing - simply spectacular. If Florence is on your itinerary, make it a point to stay there; it's simply superb.
No Thanks

I have the following tables (example)
t1 (20.000 rows, 60 columns, primary key t1_id)
t2 (40.000 rows, 8 columns, primary key t2_id)
t3 (50.000 rows, 3 columns, primary key t3_id)
t4 (30.000 rows, 4 columns, primary key t4_id)
sql query:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM (t1)
JOIN t2 ON t1.t2_id = t2.t2_id
JOIN t3 ON t2.t3_id = t3.t3_id
JOIN t4 ON t3.t4_id = t4.t4_id
I have created indexes on columns that affect the join (e.g on
t1.t2_id) and foreign keys where necessary. The query is slow (600 ms) and if I put where clauses (e.g.
WHERE t1.column10 = 1, where
column10 doesn't have index), the query becomes much slower. The queries I do with
select (*) and
LIMIT are fast, and I can't understand count behaviour. Any solution?
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 SIMPLE t4 index PRIMARY user_id 4 NULL 5259 Using index
1 SIMPLE t2 ref PRIMARY,t4_id t4_id 4 t4.t4_id 1 Using index
1 SIMPLE t1 ref t2_id t2_id 4 t2.t2_id 1 Using index
1 SIMPLE t3 ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 t2.t2_id 1 Using index
where user_id is a column of t4 table
EDIT: I changed from innodb to myisam and i had a speed increase, especially if i put where clauses. But i h still have times (100-150 ms) The reason i want count in my application, is to the the user who is processing a search form, the number of results he is expecting with ajax. May be there is a better solution in this, for example creating a temporary table, that is updated every one hour?
