Spygate just won't die, and this time, it's thanks to Ravens coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh took full advantage to jump on the Patriots a little bit more on Tuesday morning during a radio appearance on Baltimore's 98 Rock. The coach was originally asked about the mess that the Saints are in, but he was still able to bring it around to center on New England. "Isn't there a part of you that says, you know, if a guy can get away with it, like, you look for the edge any way you can get it, right?" one of the hosts...

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 9/5/12
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) at Minnesota Vikings (0-0) I didn't have the Vikings listed as one of my underrated teams in the league, but maybe I should have. They had incredibly bad luck during their 3-13 season last year, going 2-9 in games decided by a touchdown or less and had the point differential of a team that should have won 5 or 6 games. A full season of Christian Ponder (who didn't take over until a few weeks into the season and then got hurt) will also help. In the 9 games in which he led the team in passing attempts, the team scored 22.9 points per game, which would have been 16th in the league last season. He should be improved in his 2nd year in the league and also gets a new left tackle, Matt Kalil, which will really help him. The Jaguars also have a 2nd year quarterback in Blaine Gabbert, but he looked like much more of a lost cause last year. He might have looked alright during stretches in the preseason, but that's the preseason so it doesn't mean a whole lot. If I ...

After implementing the above, the next step should be for the industry to analyze the system's specific components, probably through the regional reliability planning councils. It would then be possible for the utilities, independent system operators (ISOs), and regional transmission operators (RTOs) to determine which components are most vulnerable from a system perspective.
Once determined, these components should be given the highest priority for hardening and protection, including enhanced surveillance and response, fortified barriers to intrusion (both by land and from the air), installation of bulletproof walls around equipment vulnerable to firearms, and, possibly, installation of redundant, geographically separated systems.
Industry also should examine how to expedite recovery from a widespread attack. This should include a review of current sparing philosophy for critical components. "Business as usual" is not likely to be an adequate approach. Increased redundancy also would be useful, such as with control systems, which could be decentralized and designed with duplicate backups to minimize the loss of control from an attack. Utilities and other operators also should plan for a "black start" following a large-scale blackout. Location of critical equipment to accomplish this might be aided by the use of simulation models, threat scenarios, and system models to deal with the multiplicity of challenges. This action may be augmented in the future by the development of an adaptive grid, as discussed below in Recommendation 6.16.
Recommendation 6.4: Utilities, independent system operators (ISOs), and regional transmission operators (RTOs) should identify the most critical equipment for protection in their respective domains. This protection, where it does not already exist, should then be accomplished with available technology, including (1) increased surveillance of critical sites and equipment, (2) hardening of selected sites, (3) installation of barriers to prevent motor-vehicle or rail intrusion, and (4) masking of thermal signatures of selected equipment. As part of this examination, policies for critical-equipment spare parts should be reviewed, including consideration of cooperative efforts for employing regionally based and coordinated spares centers.
The possibility of cascading damage from an attack on the transmission lines themselves could be reduced by developing and implementing new designs for conductors, towers, and transmission corridors. Although the industry has examined this problem for weather-related and other circumstances, what is now needed is a top-to-bottom review that assumes a deliberate and extensive attack.
Recommendation 6.5: An immediate review of electric transmission lines should be initiated, through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the regional reliability councils, to identify opportunities for

Dragons v Cardiff: Teams
At Rodney Parade, Saturday September 15, kick-off 6.30pm
Last Updated: 14/09/12 3:41pm
Lewis Evans: Back in the Dragons starting line-up
Dragons captain Lewis Evans returns to the starting line-up for his side's RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Cardiff Blues on Saturday.
He is joined in the back-row by Wales flanker Dan Lydiate, who is back in the side after after recovering from injury.
After defeat to Leinster last time out the hosts field an all-new the hosts will field an all-new front row at Rodney Parade, comprising of Dan Way, Steve Jones, and Phil Price.
"It was a disappointing result by the boys from the Leinster game although it was good to see the boys scoring tries against the Leinster side," Lydiate said.
"We are looking for a lot better effort in defence when we play the Blues at home, it's always going to be a tough game but it's also an exciting game because it's a derby match. I am really looking forward to it.
"It's a massive challenge for us to be playing against the Blues, we will be playing against my team-mates who play for Wales, which should be an exciting game and with it being a derby match they are usually quite eventful.
"So hopefully a lot of our fans will turn up and support us for what could be a really good game of rugby."
Cardiff Blues have made five changes to their side as they prepare to give full-back Thomas Williams his first RaboDirect PRO12 start.
Williams comes in for the injured Leigh Halfpenny while Harry Robinson replaces wing Tom James.
There is a new half-back combination with Rhys Patchell at fly-half, making his PRO12 debut partnering with Lloyd Williams. The Blues also welcome back Jamie Roberts to the matchday 23, with the big Lions centre having worked hard to recover from his knee injury.
There are two changes up front with Marc Breeze starting at hooker and Nathan Trevett at prop in place of Rhys Williams and Benoit Bourrust respectively.
Dragons: 15 Dan Evans, 14 Will Harries, 13 Pat Leach, 12 Andy Tuilagi, 11 Tom Prydie, 10 Steffan Jones, 9 Jonathan Evans. 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Lewis Evans (capt), 6 Dan Lydiate, 5 Adam Jones, 4 Ian Nimmo, 3 Dan Way, 2 Steve Jones, 1 Phil Price.
Replacements: 16 Hugh Gustafson, 17 Aaron Coundley, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Jevon Groves, 20 Tom Brown, 21 Liam Davies, 22 Ashley Smith, 23 Adam Hughes.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Thomas Williams, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 James Down, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Nathan Trevett.
Replacements: 16 Kristian Dacey, 17 Thomas Davies, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Lou Reed, 20 Rory Watts-Jones, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Jamie Roberts.

Vanderburgh County bans smoking in all bars, restaurants | VIDEO
EVANSVILLE - Calling it a public health imperative and a plus for economic development, the Vanderburgh County Commissioners voted 2-1 tonight to reinstate a tougher smoking ban for bars and restaurants outside Evansville city limits.
The change is effective July 1. It will affect only a handful of establishments, but the commissioners have said it is important to show leadership on the issue.
"If (bars and restaurants) are located outside the city limits in Vanderburgh County, there will be no smoking in them after July 1 under this ordinance," County Attorney Ted Ziemer Jr. said afterward. "They know it's going to happen July 1, so they've got between now and then to think about it.
"It was done intentionally that way. (The commissioners) could have said it was effective today, then nobody could have made any provisions for it."
Commissioners Lloyd Winnecke and Marsha Abell voted for the ordinance establishing the new smoking ban, while Commissioner Steve Melcher voted against it.
Melcher said he didn't want to punish establishments that would be affected by a stronger ban while their competitors, inside the city or in surrounding counties, would be allowed to permit smoking. He expressed concern that not having a uniform ordinance unfairly punishes businesses because their customers may take their business to places where they can smoke.
Currently, both city and county rules allow smoking in bars and taverns and in restaurants in designated areas as long as no one younger than 18 is allowed in that area. The section is required to be separated from the rest of the restaurant by a wall with a passageway no wider than five feet.
Abell and Winnecke had made it clear all along that they were in favor of removing exemptions for bars, taverns and nightclubs in the county's smoking ban.
The exemptions expired Jan. 2, 2009, having been passed by a previous lineup of Republican-controlled commissioners in 2006. But four days later — in their first public meeting as the three-member executive governing body's new Democratic majority — Melcher and then-Commissioner Troy Tornatta voted on first reading to reinstate the exemptions. Winnecke, a Republican, voted against it.
The defeat of Tornatta by Abell in last fall's election reversed the commissioners' sentiment on the smoking issue again.
Tonight, the commissioners heard from a succession of health care providers and antismoking activists who argued that the dangers of secondhand smoke makes a smoking ban a matter of public health, not personal choice.
"Scientifically, the debate is over. Secondhand smoke is more than a mere nuisance; it kills people," said Ryan Rigg, an American Cancer Society community representative.
" ... Restaurant and bar employees are particularly at risk. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, food service workers are 50 percent more likely than the general population to develop lung cancer, largely because many of them are exposed to secondhand smoke on the job."
Rigg said no worker in such establishments "should have to choose between a paycheck and their health."
While most speakers — including several high school students — urged the commissioners to adopt a tougher smoking ban, county resident Sally Herrin spoke for smokers' rights.
"The state, the federal government, the local government, controls enough of our lives," said Herrin, a self-described non-smoker who said her father "had two bypass surgeries from smoking."
"He's dead, but he would be the first one to tell you the government does not have a right to tell a business what they can or cannot do in their business."
Ziemer has said the power to compel businesses to abide by a smoking ban ordinance comes from the same place local government gets the power to make businesses do anything that protects public health.
"We have food regulations that affect businesses," the attorney said when the 2006 ordinance was passed. "You've got to have a clean kitchen, for example. There are certain minimum requirements of cleanliness and hygiene that protect public health."
Abell said she voted for the new ordinance not only because a large majority of constituents appear to be in favor of it, but because "economic development is the charge of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners."
"If a company was looking to come to Vanderburgh County and looked at another county that did have a healthy county, and went to them rather than us, I would feel terrible about the jobs that the people in our community would have lost," she said.
The commissioners also heard tonight from representatives of We the People of Vanderburgh County, a group that opposes local government consolidation.
Winnecke, the commissioners' president, said he and City Council President B.J. Watts hope to announce soon the dates of two joint public meetings to be held in March.
The first meeting is envisioned as question-and-answer session with the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Reorganization Committee, the 12-member citizens group that crafted the current consolidation proposal. The second meeting would be a public hearing to hear residents' opinions and questions.
"We hope to announce those dates very, very shortly," Winnecke said. "It's just been a matter of trying to coordinate schedules."

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/27/12
About 11 months ago the Red Sox traded Josh Reddick to Oakland in exchange for Andrew Bailey. Now, Boston could be flipping the closer again. Bailey's fourth season in Major League Baseball was easily his worst, as the former All Star underwent thumb surgery during spring training and didn't make his first appearance for the Red Sox until Aug. 14. Once he returned he was largely ineffective, posting a 7.04 ERA in 15 1/3 innings pitched. Despite Bailey's down year (or perhaps because of it), rival teams are saying the Red Sox are open to trading their presumed 2013 closer, according to Buster Olney. That isn't to say that Boston is dead set on dealing him, however, as the team recognizes his trade value is at an all-time low. Nonetheless, with the way that the Sox' bullpen performed in 2012, there are likely multiple candidates who could get a crack at closing, including Junichi Tazawa and Clayton Mortensen. Rival teams say that Red Sox open to dealing Andrew Bailey–but because his value is currently low, odds of them trading him are pretty low. — Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) November 27, 2012

JR Smith has put together an impressive season so far for the Knicks. Smith is in contention for sixth man of the year but he also felt his accomplishments this season earned him a trip to Houston as an All-Star. When Rajon Rondo went down that opened up a spot on the East. NBA.com put up a poll asking fans to vote for who should take that spot. I guess JR thought the fan vote actually mattered like it does for the starters and was a bit perturbed that Brook Lopez was given the open spot and not him. Naturally, he took to Twitter to express his displeasure. Chin up JR. I'm sure your all-star party will be great. He's hosting with Basketball Wives LA star Brooke Bailey. photos via Instagram

Model King F350 Pickup And Open Road Camper
Posted 10 December 2007 - 03:48 PM
Here it is today.....
The cab and chassis are still loose as I have to finish up the driveline.
I've back-dated a Model King F350 Pickup to a '76 model with an early style grille from my parts box. The cab color is 76 Ford Truck code 4, Ginger Bronze Poly.
I still have to attach the rear gate, door step and fix the roof cover as it's a little too wide now from all the paint and foil work, otherwise the Camper section is done!
Thanks for looking .... for more in progress photos check out my Fotki Album below, the photos start on page 3. Model King Open Road Camper

The original plan was for this model to be Box Art for a second release of the M-K Racer's Wedge and Open Road Camper kit. Dave requested it be on the Ford Pickup chassis.
If I recall, offering both of the kits as a package was discussed but dropped for several reasons including the need to make some major modifications to the Ford Pickup frame to make it fit the Camper. Do to other commitments I had, and the deadline RC2 set for the box art to be ready, Dave had to use some previously used artwork for the box. So this project is strickly for my own enjoyment.
BTW, If someone has a set of the front bumper guards from one of the earlier issue 70's Ford Pickup trucks that they aren't going to use let me know. They would be a nice finishing touch for this one.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. After a fight between Sony characters in the melee fighter PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale video game, what do you think they do? That's what Adult Swim's animated comedy show Robot Chicken will explore in an animated short that airs on the network during the 10 p.m. hour EST/PST. Check your local listings. "When PlayStation asked us at Robot Chicken to literally 'play' with their all-star line-up of characters, we were not about to say no," Robot Chicken co-creator Matthew Senreich wrote in a post on the PlayStation blog. "PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale gave us an opportunity in the writers' ro0m to have the geek discussions we all love to have. Who would destroy who in a fight to the death, or wherever they end up going after being defeated." From the short promo, it looks like we'll get a peek inside the PSASBR break room where Uncharted's Nathan Drake mocks God of War's Kratos and Heavenly Sword's Nariko sexually harasses Jak from Jak and Daxter.

International Trade Committee MEPs on Monday paved the way for a plenary vote on the European Parliament's draft recommendations for Transatlantic Trade and investment partnership (TTIP) negotiators, by retabling the June plenary amendments which had been referred back for reconsideration. The committee took the decision in two separate votes –one to retable the plenary amendments, and the other to retable requests for split or separate votes. (Read more: TTIP: MEPs pave way for plenary vote by retabling June amendments )
Today the European Parliament's Conference of Presidents (EP President and political group leaders) discussed the latest situation on Greece with Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited the European Parliement in Brussels today where he was welcomed by President Martin Schulz. Following the meeting they had, Schulz tweeted it had been "a very useful meeting on security, climate, trade, investment and the euro zone". (Read more: Chinese Premier visits the European Parliament )
The situation in Greece will be discussed at an extraordinary meeting of the Conference of Presidents, made up of the EP President and the political group leaders, at 14.15 CET today. In addition MEPs vote on how to deal with the amendments that have led to the postponement of the TTIP negotiations and discuss European Commission plans on corporate taxes. Parliamentary committees will also discuss lessons to be learnt from the Germanwings tragedy in March and how to tackle hate speech. (Read more: EP this week: Greece, TTIP, corporate tax, aviation safety )
The European Commission's weak response to the first EU citizens' initiative (ECI) petition, on the "Right2Water", could discredit the ECI system, warn Environment Committee MEPs in a resolution voted on Wednesday. It "lacks any real ambition and failed to meet the demands of the organizers", they add. ECIs enable citizens to ask the Commission to propose laws in areas within its competence, if they can muster at least one million signatures from at least a quarter of EU member states. (Read more: Right2water citizens' initiative: Commission must act, say MEPs )
EP President Martin Schulz said he hoped a compromise on Greece would be reached shortly, allowing the country to stay in the euro zone. Speaking at the start of the European Council on 25 June, Schulz said: "We are called upon to carefully weigh the risks and choose the path least likely to make citizens liable for a crisis they have not caused." He said a deal should also pave the way for improving the sustainability of Greek debt. (Read more: Schulz on need for Greece deal: "We're called upon to carefully weigh the risks" )

Pen & Sword Books Ltd Releases AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY OF BRITAIN THE ANGLO SAXON AGE
One of the few dates from medieval British history still firmly fixed in the popular memory is 1066. The end of Anglo-Saxon England and the Norman Conquest are still viewed as major events - England's forcible first 'entry into Europe'. Taking a similar approach to his successful book If Rome Hadn't Fallen, Timothy Venning explores the various decision points in a fascinating period of British history and the alternative paths that it might have taken.
Starting with an outline of the process by which much of Britain came to be settled by Germanic tribes after the end of Roman rule, this fascinating alternative history then moves on to examine a series of scenarios which might have altered the course of subsequent events dramatically. Theories explored include: was a reconquest by the native British ever a possibility? Which of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms might have united England sooner and would this have kept the Danes out? And, of course, what if Harold Godwinson had won at Hastings? Whilst necessarily speculative, all scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces that shaped British history and help to shed new light on them. In doing so, this remarkable book helps the reader to understand why things happened the way they did, and also paints a vivid picture of what might have been.
Dr Timothy Venning is a freelance researcher and author whose previous works include A Chronology of Roman Empire and A Chronology of the Byzantine Empire (with Jonathan Harris). His fascination with the 'what ifs' of history was first kindled by a comic strip he read while at primary school in the 1960s and has endured ever since. He currently lives in Lymington, Hampshire.

Travis Hall signs with 49ers
The 49ers picked up Hall to play DE in their 3-4 scheme. A good pickup for them. Hall is one of those players that I was upset with when his play began to slip after 1998, but he always contributed over his final few years (although he was getting paid a ton to do it). I wish we could have kept him. Imagine him and Babs coming off the bench behind Lav and Coleman. The 49ers got a good player.

Roberta Jarvis, a physiotherapist who treated Louise Clifford after she was diagnosed with the disease at the age of six, said she never saw the public relations guru act inappropriately with women.
Mr Clifford, 70, is on trial at Southwark Crown Court, London, accused of 11 counts of indecent assault against seven girls and women - all of which he denies.
Ms Jarvis, who worked at the Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital in Maidenhead, said Clifford was "very concerned" about his daughter's therapy for arthritis, which she suffered in most of her joints.
She told the court: "He was a parent of a single child. This was his daughter.
"He wanted absolutely the best for her.
"He was always very concerned about what was going on, how she was being treated and asking for information.
"He was very caring. Very charming. A perfect gentleman as far as I was concerned and very helpful when it came to fund-raising."
The court heard Clifford helped raise £300,000 for a new hydrotherapy pool after services were moved to Wexham Park hospital in Slough.
Asked by Richard Horwell, QC, defending Clifford, if she ever saw Clifford act inappropriately with women, Ms Jarvis replied: "No."
The trial continues.

Been said by others already but - no, she hasn't gotten more sexualized. Her model has just gotten more detailed. Halo 3 had just as much sideboob, but now it's just more "realistic" looking.
She wasn't really "sexualized" in the first or second game, because she was comprised of a handful of polygons. But they never hid the fact that she was taking the form of a naked female body.

Lost things from life - plein air, figure, still lilfe
My artistic studies always seems to come in fits and spurts, so here is another attempt to self motivate and get back on the treadmill towards improvement.
The plan is to keep at these studies and sketches from life on at least a weekly basis. We'll see how long this lasts...

some recent still life studies in oil, all 3 hour class sessions:
this one I didn't finish:
not quite happy with the background fabric on these, I need to remember to soften those edges and take things out of focus
some older plein air stuff in pastel, mostly 2 hrs:
tired of doing more hills, these weeds at my feet turned out to be an interesting study
I think I may have gone a little overboard with the blue wormy squiggles
crooked horizon. doh
I think I gotta go back and soften up the hard line between the water and the island

Scott Elbert Rumors
Padres Sign Jose Valverde To Minor League Deal
The Padres have signed former closer Jose Valverde to a minor league deal, Baseball America's Matt Eddy tweets. San Diego has also signed lefty Scott Elbert and righty Marcos Mateo.
Valverde made the Mets' Opening Day roster last season, but after a combustive two months in their bullpen, the Mets released him in late May. He has struggled in each of the past two seasons, posting ERAs over five in both and giving up ten home runs in 40 total innings. Valverde's last full season came in 2012, when he posted a 3.78 ERA with 6.3 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 for the Tigers. The 36-year-old has 288 career saves with the Diamondbacks and Astros in addition to the Tigers and Mets.
The 29-year-old Elbert was a first-round pick of the Dodgers all the way back in 2004. He had two effective seasons of relief for them in 2011 and 2012, but had Tommy John surgery in 2013 and missed most of the next two years. The Dodgers outrighted him in early November, and he became a free agent.
The 30-year-old Mateo pitched for Triple-A Iowa in 2014, posting a 3.86 ERA, 10.4 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 in 37 1/3 innings of relief. He last appeared in the big leagues with the Cubs in 2011.

Outrighted: Quiroz, Bochy, Axford, Gomez, d'Arnaud, Richardson, Elmore
According to the International League and Pacific Coast League transactions pages, the following outrights and related minor moves took place today:
- The Giants have outrighted catcher Guillermo Quiroz and righty Brett Bochy. Quiroz, 32, saw just three MLB plate appearances this year and has only once made more than 100 trips to the plate in a single season despite seeing action in ten MLB campaigns. Bochy, son of manager Bruce, got his first taste of the bigs this year, allowing two earned runs in 3 1/3 innings.
- After designating them for assignment recently, the Pirates have outrighted relievers John Axford and Jeanmar Gomez. Axford, 31, will look for a chance to bounce back after posting three seasons and 189 innings of 4.24 ERA work from the pen. Gomez, meanwhile, tossed 62 frames of 3.19 ERA ball after a solid 2013, but his peripherals do not quite back up the results.
- Pittsburgh also outrighted utility infielder Chase d'Arnaud. The 27-year-old has fairly minimal MLB action, but owns a .251/.316/.370 line over 1,426 Triple-A plate appearances over parts of four seasons. He has spent his entire career in the Pirates organization.
- The Yankees have outrighted outfielder Antoan Richardson after he racked up five stolen bases over the course of just 13 games (and 17 plate appearances) in New York. Richardson, 31, has been a consistent high-OBP and speed threat in the upper minors, but has yet to receive a real opportunity at the big league level.
- Also outrighted was utilitman Jake Elmore of the Reds. Cincinnati claimed Elmore from the Athletics in early August. He ultimately saw just 12 plate appearances with the Reds, and is still looking for his first consistent MLB role at age 27.
- Previously outrighted players Adam Moore of the Padres, Scott Elbert of the Dodgers, Matt McBride of the Rockies, and Evan Reed and Don Kelly of the Tigers have all elected free agency.

Outrighted: Scott Elbert, Jason Lane, Tony Abreu
Let's take a look at the day's minor moves:
- Scott Elbert of the Dodgers has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, tweets Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. The lefty was designated for assignment on Tuesday. He has been trying to work back to form after not throwing a big league pitch over the last two seasons. Elbert had the right to refuse the assignment, but will stay with the organization, tweets Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com.
- The Padres have outrighted lefty Jason Lane, according to the MLB transactions page. Lane had an outstanding first big league start, but will serve as depth at Triple-A if he accepts his assignment.
- Tony Abreu has also been outrighted by the Giants, per the PCL transactions page. The second baseman received only four plate appearances during his brief call-up. He will have the option of electing free agency.

Dodgers Designate Scott Elbert For Assignment
The Dodgers have designated lefty Scott Elbert for assignment, according to the MLB transactions page. Elbert, 28, had been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery (and subsequent toe injury) on the 60-day DL.
Elbert was a major contributor for the Dodgers over 2011-12, throwing 66 innings of 2.32 ERA ball (with 8.6 K/9 against 3.7 BB/9) over that span. But he has thrown only 20 frames over the last two years, all in the minors. He owns a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 innings this year, striking out 9.2 and walking 5.0 runners per nine.

Dodgers Avoid Arbitration With Elbert, Butera
4:50pm: Butera's deal includes $100K in attainable performance bonuses, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Likewise, Elbert can earn up to $100k in incentive pay, Heyman further tweets.
4:01pm: The Dodgers' deals with Elbert, Butera, and Mike Baxter are all non-guaranteed, Hernandez tweets.
3:49pm: The Dodgers have avoided arbitration with Scott Elbert and Drew Butera, according to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times (on Twitter). Elbert gets a one-year, $575K deal while Butera will earn $700K (link).
Our own Matt Swartz projected that Elbert would earn $600K through arbitration while Butera would get $700K. Elbert, 28, underwent Tommy John surgery in June and was considered a non-tender candidate, but it would appear that the Dodgers are confident that he will bounce back strong in 2014. The lefty reliever posted a 2.20 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 in 2012.
Butera, 30, saw just six big league games in total last season for the Twins and Dodgers. The catcher came to Los Angeles in a July 31st deal for a player to be named later. In 43 Triple-A games last year, Butera hit just .187/.228 /.281.
The Dodgers have now avoided arbitration with three of their players today after signing Elbert, Butera, and Mike Baxter earlier today. There are four remaining arbitration eligible Dodgers – Clayton Kershaw, Kenley Jansen, A.J. Ellis, and Ronald Belisario.

Wow! Isn't that special..............
Wasn't that shot in a magazine? I think I've seen it before. Nice fish in any event.
Um yeah.......All signs point to this being some hairy balled man pretending to be chick considering this was his-her first post.
You really know the thread has degenerated when people resort to alter-egos to prove points.....
Hey Chris why don't you let us know who's alter-ego this is?
Way to go, Jen!!! :thumb: I was hoping you'd chime in and set these boys straight. And they wonder why more women don't participate on this site!
No, simply just little ol' me who loves to snap T my 13ft 3 Winston BIIX spey with a dry line riffle-hitchin' a Lady Caroline or tuck castin' a nymph underneath my "bobbercator" with my 10ft 8wt nymph rod :thumb:
Thanks Sue! Us fish chics have to stick together.
Well if you are who you say you are than by all means WELCOME!:thumb:
Thank you. Very kind of you...
I'm Batman. :rofl:
not too shabby, but the first pic was cuter
Welcome aboard and nice fish; what river?
Got Damn....I'm starting to feel all warm and fuzzy...
I maintain from my previous post that she has naturally pretty eyes.
But the pigtails in the first pic do up the cuteness quotient.
Welcome Jen.
Here is a pic of Ferris J Buehler for all ya ladies browsing on this site..
Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
Umm...I wasn't trying to imply that (or anything). I meant (for real) I'd seen the picture before somewhere. That's all. n00b.
Screw the pictures of the chicks. Did anyone notice Steff_dk's signiture photo. That's some disturbing shit and worthy of attention.
Hehe, Pan You crack me up. Basically calling the girl ugly and dropping the F-bomb- Not negative, nope, I'm just imagining things.
Dude, clearly you have issues I can't help you resolve. If you want in my pants, I'll give you my address through PM. I can't find any other reason for you sweating me so much again, DUDE! There was nothing negative about my observation or post. I think his signature picture is hilarious. Look at! It's funny man. Wipe the steam from the mirror and look close at what you see. You're transferring your own negative energy on me, why? I don't know. I push a button with you, remind you of someone from you life (sorry, this isn't real life-get one) you're very unhappy (my vote), hit impotency too early in life, Old lady has ya' by the balls, life sucks? You choose, I'm just throwing some ideas out there... options; maybe you haven't done some souls searching in awhile. If I can be a catalyst for personal change; you're welcomed. I should point out-- I'm one of the most happy mother effer's you'd ever meet, and a force of positive energy to all who know me. I do happen to say what I mean and how I feel; some people have a hard time communicating on this level, and an even harder time taking it. basically, what I'm saying is: it's you, not me, but I'm sure you've heard that before

CORVALLIS, Ore. A new study has found that heat waves are increasing in the western portions of the Pacific Northwest, but not the kind most people envision, with scorching hot days of temperatures reaching triple digits.
These heat waves occur at night.
Researchers documented 15 examples of "nighttime heat waves" from 1901 through 2009 and 10 of those have occurred since 1990. Five of them took place during a four-year period from 2006-09. And since the study was accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, another nighttime heat wave took place at the end of this June, the authors point out.
"Most people are familiar with daytime heat waves, when the temperatures get into the 100s and stay there for a few days," said Kathie Dello, deputy director of the Oregon Climate Service at Oregon State University and a co-author on the study. "A nighttime heat wave relates to how high the minimum temperature remains overnight.
"Daytime events are usually influenced by downslope warming over the Cascade Mountains, while nighttime heat waves seem to be triggered by humidity," said Dello, who is in OSU's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. "Elevated low-level moisture at night tends to trap the heat in."
In their study, Dello and co-authors Karin Bumbaco and Nicholas Bond from the University of Washington defined heat waves as three consecutive days of temperatures at the warmest 1 percentile over the past century. Using that standard criterion, they documented 13 examples of daytime heat waves during the time period from 1901 to 2009. Only two of those occurred in the last 20 years.
In contrast, nighttime heat waves have been clustered over the past two decades, with what appears to be accelerating frequency. A warming climate suggests the problem may worsen, studies suggest.
"If you look at nighttime temperatures in Oregon and compared them to
