CGI Quote of the Day, Al Gore: Burn The Motherfucker Down
"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we've reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon..."
Couldn't make out the rest because the crowd's cheers drowned it out, but he'd been complaining at the Clinton Global Initiative about coal plants that falsely claimed to have "plans" to sequester CO2 from coal, so I guess that's the idea.
More later.

BJ Watling as test keeper is a big gamble
Relevant offers
OPINION: So BJ Watling has the inside running to be New Zealand's next test wicketkeeper, but of the two contenders in the squad logic and pure numbers suggest Kruger van Wyk should be the front-runner.
The logic part is simple - of the two South African-born players, only van Wyk can claim to be a specialist gloveman.
The 31-year-old has been doing the job for more than a decade at first-class level both in South Africa and New Zealand, while Watling, six years his junior, is a part-time keeper who is rated behind Peter McGlashan for his first-class team, Northern Districts, and only been mooted as a keeping option at international level during the past few weeks.
You can get away with non-specialists at Twenty20, and possibly even one-day, level, but surely test cricket is the domain of specialists. It is the most prestigious, most testing, most physically and mentally demanding, form of the game, and with wickets at a premium, wicket-keeping plays a crucial role.
Chances cannot afford to be shelled and the concentration required to keep wicket over a five-day test (admittedly, we haven't had too many of those of late) is by all accounts acquired over a long period of time.
But Watling is seen as the better batting option, given he is a specialist top-order player. New Zealand want runs from their gloveman, who would bat at No 7 behind Daniel Vettori, allowing room for four quick bowlers.
But is he a better batsman than van Wyk?
Maybe, but the pure stats actually give van Wyk the edge in this department, too, which is intriguing given New Zealand Cricket's selection focus is on numbers and weight of runs.
Since he moved to New Zealand at the start of the 2006/07 season, van Wyk has scored 2579 runs, including four hundreds, at an impressive average of 49.60.
He has played 48 first-class matches in that time, 35 for Canterbury and 13 for Central Districts. Including his time in South Africa, van Wyk's overall first-class average is 38.65.
Since Watling made his first-class debut for Northern Districts two seasons earlier, he has scored 3241 runs, including seven centuries, at a considerably lower average of 33.07. He has played 58 matches.
Recent form also supports van Wyk's case.
Since his move to CD at the start of last season, he has played 13 four-day matches and averages a whopping 66.38 with the bat across those matches.
Watling's form has also been good during the past two-and-a-half seasons, but his average of 44.27 is again considerably lower than the diminutive frame of van Wyk.
Conditions and their respective batting positions in the order play a part, but the numbers are heavily in van Wyk's favour. The only real factor in Watling's favour is his age, though van Wyk could easily have five years in the national team.
Yet New Zealand coach John Wright has said that Watling had the inside running and, if his keeping is up to the required standard in a three-day warm-up match against the tourists, he will play against Zimbabwe in Napier.
Wright would be taking a gamble by installing Watling as wicketkeeper in next week's test against Zimbabwe, and in the upcoming three-test series against South Africa, both of which are mightily important given they are our only domestic tests of the summer.
But the coach sees potential in Watling, and he has the right - and pedigree - to select on gut instinct. Recent calls to promote Doug Bracewell and Dean Brownlie into the test team have proven to be masterstrokes from the wily coach.
It remains to be seen whether he can complete a hat-trick of successful calls before summer's end.
Meanwhile, Reece Young will probably feel aggrieved after being axed yesterday, after five tests.
His average of 24.14 is basically the same as Watling's test average (24.50), and like van Wyk he has been a top performer with the bat at first-class level in recent seasons.
Two questions surround Young's dismissal - was he afforded enough time to establish himself at the higher level, and was he made a scapegoat for poor showings by the top order in the three tests this summer?

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
20 Aug 2012 15:24 GMT | Europe
Former world chess champion turned opposition leader Garry Kasparov has faced police questioning after he was detained at a protest during the Pussy Riot trial and accused of biting a policeman.
Kasparov, the former chess grandmaster and anti-Vladimir Putin activist, denies the claims he was questioned about on Monday. He faces charges of assaulting a police officer, but has reportedly said he will file a counter suit.
He was detained on Friday as he was rallying in support of the feminist punk band outside the Moscow court where members were sentenced to two years in prison.
Video of the incident showed a group of policemen grabbing Kasparov and tossing him into a bus.
Kasparov says he is planning to file a complaint against his detention and a libel case against his accuser.
He said outside police headquarters after questioning Monday that he submitted videos of his arrest that prove his innocence "beyond a reasonable doubt".
Kasparov was one of nearly 100 people detained at the protest.

Disney's Wreck-It Ralph - crashing into cinemas 8th February 2013 in 3D. Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in Wreck-It Ralph. Like us at www.facebook.com/WreckItRalph Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the good guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, Wreck-It Ralph meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realise his dream and save the day before it's too late? Wreck-It Ralph stars the voice talent of John C. Reilly (Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Step Brothers), Jack McBrayer (30 Rock), Jane Lynch (Glee) and Sarah Silverman (The Sarah Silverman Program). Wreck-It Ralph crashes onto the big screen when it's released in UK cinemas in February 2013, in Disney Digital 3D™.

*It's about time Halle Berry try something other than acting.
The iconic woman is stepping into her next big thing, a shoe line.
The mother and seasoned actress is working with German retailer Deichmann Shoes to design her very first pair of commercial comfy, yet fashionable shoes.
The line will be called, "5th Avenue by Halle Berry."
"Women have always loved shoes. It's like if your hair is not right and your shoes are not right, the woman is not right. If both of them are right, you're pretty much OK," Berry said in a statement reports The YBF.
The shoe line will debut for the spring and summer and will consist of 40 "limited edition" shoes with several designs, bound to fit all types of lifestyles, even busy moms.
And the kicks are reasonably priced, starting at $60 and will hit UK stores some time before the end of March.
BTW, Halle's new movie, "The Call," is opening this weekend in theaters.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hard Rock Hotel San Diego
Over Hyped and Over Priced
I stayed at the hotel for a girlfriend's 30th birthday party. We reserved a large suite, and were terribly disappointed at check-in when we were told that there was a 'mistake' in the booking and we were only going to be able to have 2 small ajoining rooms. But even before that happened - I couldn't even park at the hotel...I was arriving late and thus hadn't received my key yet. After waiting 10 minutes in line to valet I was told that I was not able unless I had my key (hello! can't get my key until I parked). Later in the evening we planned on going to the newly opened lounge. More empty promises - we repeatedly talked to hotel staff prior to our visit to make sure we could get into the lounge. We were told no problem. Not so the night we were there - our group was turned away unless we wanted to fork out $1,500 for bottle service in a cabana. What a huge let down. As a San Diego local, I am truly dissapointed in this over priced, over hyped 'it' place. I expect this kind of thing from Las Vegas, not San Diego.
First Class!
Hard Rock - San Diego is unbelievable! From the minute valet greets you at the curb this place rocks! Valet whisked our car away, bell service took our bags directly to our room and we were greeted by an employee who walked us through the check-in process. The lobby is amazing and the atmosphere was full of energy. I was already amazed, but when we walked into our "Rock Star Suite" (unit 701) all my wife could say was, "Oh my God!" The room was beautiful and overlooked Randee Gerber's Moonstone Lounge and the outdoor rock stage. A day earlier we could have watched Fergie right from our room while the Black Eyed Peas played a concert for the owners and VIP's. The view from this room was nothing but first class! The shower was out of this world, but I will leave those details out ...
My wife and I ate at Nobu which was located in the lobby. This was our first experience with Nobu and our waitress was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was some of the best Japanese cuisine that we have ever had and we would have to recommend Nobu during your stay at the Hard Rock.
After, we went up to the 4th floor pool deck and partied a little at the Moonstone Lounge. We have never been to a Randee Gerber bar, but read about them online prior to our trip and this one did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere fit perfectly with the Hard Rock experience.
Overall, our stay at the Hard Rock was awesome and we will definitely be back. The staff was always friendly and the accommodations were one of a kind.
Loved The Service
The Hard Rock lives up to its branding. First class the whole way. Yes, minor glitches during the first month, but based on everything else being 5 star...who cares!
The rooms were ultra hip and modern. Rain head shower head and overhead in the shower, 2 plasma TV, personal hook ups for MP3, video, memory cards. A great bar set up with Patron and champagne, newspaper delivered every morning. Now this is not even mentioning Nobu downstairs or the fact this is the absolutely best location in the Gaslamp Quarter.
The Gerber bar with the live music was great, and the pool area swanky, comfortable and upscale.
Definitely worth a few nites for anyone visiting the San Diego area. Room 952 was up high enough to get a view, no street noise and close enough to elevators.
High recommend this hotel!!!
Great location - unique offerings
Arrived late evening for a four night stay and was greeted by friendly HR staffers at the entrance (valet parking only with unltmtd in/out) Booked a good price on Orbitz ($228) which was lower per night than similar surrounding hotels ($300-325) and rec'd a suite. Greetings from smiling staffers continued in the lobby and with luggage assistance - very friendly and welcoming the whole time. What a nice surprise to see that the room was on the top floor with a great city view - rm 1260. GREAT BEDS! Two large TVs and a nice sitting area so you can have separate activities.
Don't plan on showering or toileting with anyone in the room you are not really close with - the opaque glass shower(next to living area) and toilet door would make for an awkward situation.
Agree with other posters about the need for coffee/tea making in room. Room service was good and prompt and breakfast was offered in ample quantities (try the fresh fruit!)
Workers were still finishing up in the hallways and around the pool area but they got the pool area done on the last day we were there and it was blocked for a private party. (Could only see it from the balcony so can't comment on its appeal up close...it looked nice)
Overall, a nice stay in a new hotel. Slept great, friendly staff, mostly good food, but little touches like in room coffee/tea with a kettle would be nice for those of us expect them.
This is a great location and you can walk to any one of a dozen great restaurants and bars. (Nobu on property, Bondi's - great Aussie restaurant - try the fish and chips!, endless Italian restaurants...)
Spectactular, One of a kind!
Although brand new, the Hard Rock is setting the standard for all hotels in San Diego. From the time you are greeted by the valet you know you are at a great hotel. The rooms are great with all of the modern electronic connections. My room had a great view of the 4th floor pool deck and downtown. The location is the best in downtown San Diego. It is right next to the trolley station, a block from the ballpark, across the street from the convention center and in the gaslamp district. The Sweetwater bar and the MaryJane resturant are one of a kinds. The Hard Rock is not the cheapest hotel downtown, but I found that you get what you pay for. Our one night stay was great and it will not be our last.
Very nice, with a few niggles
I have stayed at this hotel for four nights, finding that the rate was cheaper than the Marriott which I usually stay at.
The hotel is excellent and has a number of good ideas. Lifts alway return to the ground floor, etc... (I could not get my iPod to work with the stereo though and did not have the normal jack lead to plug my iPod into the AV system)
There is an extra daily fee for "free internet" which is a bit odd and should just be included in the price. I had a meal at their "posh" restaurant "Nobu"one evening and found the food to be expensive and not very good, also the portions were extremely small.
The lack of coffee making facilities in the room is very odd and I found myself cursing this whilst waiting for the coffee shop to open at 7:00am. I was not prepared to pay room service for something that should already be in the room.
The staff are fantastic though and clearly rightly proud of their hotel. The hotel bar is also excellent as are the people serving.
I will be staying here again, but will also be bringing a travel kettle!
Trendy, fun hotel
We got a great intro price on the hotel's website so decided to try it out. The hotel is very trendy and modern. If you've stayed at the Ivy, it is very similar. The shower is very nice with a dual showerhead. We had the King Suite, and there were two large LCD TV's along with a vinyl couch and two bar stools.
The Sweetwater Saloon at the hotel is fun, definitely not your typical "saloon." It is more of a club. Other than that, we had room service which was pretty good, and then breakfast at MaryJane's coffee shop which was a standard good breakfast.
One thing we were not aware of that I would watch for. There is an "IN Charge" on your bill for $15.00. They do not inform you of this until you ask at checkout (if you even do ask). This charge includes all the VOSS water in the room, the copy of Rolling Stone Magazine, some CD I never could find, use of the gym, long distance and local calling, and turndown service at night, which we did ask for, but never got... It would have been nice to know this stuff at check-in, but I guess if they don't tell you, you probably won't use the items, but they can still get their $15 from you. Interesting to say the least...
Other than that, we had a good stay and would stay there again - as long as they don't rack their prices up too much after grand opening.
Growing pains
I stayed at the Hard Rock recently and was disappointed. The rooms were modern and stylish. Even on the 7th floor, street and hallway noise was noticeable. The bed linens were terrific, but the towels were those strange cotton towels that feel nice to the touch, but just seem to move the water around. The bathroom and halls smelled of rotten eggs---seems to be a ventilation problem. One elevator was out of service and there was no lighting in the spa/workout room one morning. Be aware that there is a $15 "activity fee" charged---not sure what for, but at least they tell you when you check in. The vibe is a combination of modern cool, and old-time rock and roll. If the scene is what you seek, its a good place to stay and the price is on the high end of the nearby Gaslamp District hotels. The location is a quick walk to the Convention center and baseball stadium.
Totally different, very good, couple of niggles
I learn from the 1st review that the official opening of the hotel is not until December. That would explain the maintenance guys running around doing stuff and finishing off the pool area.
The previous reviewer described the hotel well. Its modern, state of the art, and happening. Lots of young people dressed from head to toe in black are helping people out of cabs, checking you in, generally looking cool and so on.
I'd had a long trip and was very tired so 1st impressions were not great as the noise (people talking, rock music playing and a fairly Spartan look with hard surfaces make it a noisy place) in the foyer meant the receptionist had to almost shout so I could hear. However, it does show that you shouldn't judge stuff on 1st impressions especially when you are tired.
The hotel is brand new, the rooms are brand new and very well appointed. On booking I had been asked my musical preferences so that the music would be playing as a walked into the room - a nice touch.
I hate hotels where they see everything as a money making exercise. So I was delighted to find that the internet and gym are free. The room was great with a large lcd TV, a spacious shower (although I not so keen on the glass shower walls and mirrors everywhere - but I suppose it was designed for 'beautiful young things' and not middle aged men), and everything says quality.
The gym boasted state of the art kit (3 cross trainers, 3 joggers, 4 cycles and other kit) was spacious. Its open 24 hours another good thing. I used the automated business center which is also a 24 hour facility. Printing was 50c a sheet which i thought toppy but the important thing is I was able to print.
So what are the niggles:
1. No coffee making facilities in the room. Strange decision as, presumably lots of people who stay here will be from the East Coast and up early. Certainly the guy I met in the gym at 5:30am felt the same.
2. Not clear what in the room was free and what was pay for. So was the mineral water free or not - it didn't say.
3. Some minor indications that the room cleaning staff haven't established a pattern yet.
However, these are minor niggles. I was on a conference rate which compared very favorably with other hotels in the downtown San Diego area. Given the choice and assuming the rates were broadly the same, I'd chose to stay here again over nearby properties simply because it is different.
Incredible New Boutique Hotel
I just returned to Hollywood after a weekend "sneak-preview" of the New Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
So many details of thought are immediately apparent in the design of this hotel. It is clearly a state-of-art building, showcasing the best in the industry.
The hotel is very modern, truly a contempary design dream come true! The place is likely destined to become a jet-set getaway in sunny San Diego.
I have personally stayed in a lot of hotels, and I enjoy the boutique experience - and this one has pure potential if they can deliver service to match the stylish design.
When checking into my room one of the friendliest bell men I have have ever met informed me that the offical grand opening of the hotel is not until December 12th, although if you call you can book a room now.
My advise: if you like style, and the boutique experience, and you are familar with The W, or Ian Schrager Hotels, book a stay at the Hard Rock today, because this place will be THE destination to be at while in California.

I am a founding board member and former Executive Director and have had the great Joy to see the center grow over the past 15 years of serving the North County community. I watched the Lord bring the center to medical clinic status and presently have had the great privledge and Joy to return to the center as the Mobile Image Clear Ultrasound Manager and help to bring the first (ICU) Mobile Medical Clinic to the State of California. We are also helping with outreach to the whole community through the ICU Mobile Clinic by helping other centers who do not offer medical services to their clients. This has truly been the hand of God to watch as he is joining the body of Christ together to serve those in a crisis pregnancy come to realize their is Hope through the love of Jesus Christ and through His people who serve in these Life Saving Ministries. We also look forward to watching a fleet grow in our San Diego Community as the Lord is moving on others throughout our county to bring 2 new mobile clinics soon.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I became involved with the Pregnancy Resource Center in February 2012. At the time, I had just graduated with a master's degree and was waiting tables, praying and asking God to provide me with a job in a non-profit ministry. One day, I served lunch to a board member and her husband. As we chatted, we found that we went to the same church and had a lot in common. They asked me about my story and the board member told me that they had just authorized the executive director to hire an assistant at the Pregnancy Resource Center. I knew that the job was perfect for me. I contacted the center and the rest is history. This ministry has been such a blessing to me. I am so grateful for God's provision and direction in my life. My dream was to serve Him and use my education, gifts, and talents in my workplace. He has answered those prayers and more. Now, I have been through training and have been counseling women in our center when I am not helping Kim Brunson, our executive director, with many projects that keep our center running. Please keep our center and all staff and volunteers in prayer as we seek the Lord's wisdom for this ministry. Please pray for every client that comes into our center or mobile clinic to feel loved, supported, and cared for as they make difficult decisions regarding their unplanned pregnancies. Please pray for our finances to always be directed by the Lord and His will for this ministry.

OPINION: We talk about words a lot in this area of the paper. We've written about mispronunciation, strange neologisms, pet peeves and more. In fact, few topics incite the readership more than an article on poor grammar.
But I've come to the conclusion we should stop whingeing and accept the fact proper language is dying. Rather than try to uphold archaic rules about the way we use words, perhaps we should accept our fate and embrace poor use of language?
What I propose is that we create a new institution dedicated to enacting new language rules. After all it worked for the Italians, who cleaned up their language early last century. So why wouldn't it work for us?
I propose the new language this institution administers be called Manglish. The first agenda item would be there/their/they're. A large proportion of the population have no idea how to use these words properly, so I say we scrap their and they're and just use there for all three.
The obvious place to go from there is no more you're and your. We only need your. Next cab off the rank has to be to and too. Again, why bother with too? We should live in a world where too no longer exists.
The next rule of Manglish is no more it's. Its will suffice in its place. In fact, how about we do away with apostrophes altogether? Do we need punctuation at all?
While we're making changes to grammar, let's forget about the split infinitive rule and allow all prepositions at the end of sentences. Which brings me to homonyms. For instance, principle/principal, complement/compliment. Just pick one and be done with it. This would forever eliminate the affect/effect problem.
How about words that could be two words as well as one word (altogether/all together, away/a way). Why use two words when one will do?
I'd also have my way with numbers. Most don't understand numbers one to nine should be written not expressed in numerals. So let's make all numbers numerals.
Now for text language. It's clear we're headed for a world in which love is spelt luv, tomorrow becomes tomoz and what is wot. Why delay the inevitable? Let's just accept our fate and start using these words now.
I put this idea to Associate Professor Louise Ravelli from the University of New South Wales' School of the Arts and Media. She says grammar and punctuation are always evolving because language is not static and change is not necessarily bad.
"But I don't think grammar and punctuation will disappear because if you take spoken language and write it down, you have to have some punctuation so it makes sense," says Ravelli.
She points to early Greek to make her point. "There were no spaces between the words and no punctuation marks, which made it really hard to read. So grammar and punctuation serve an important purpose," she says.
Ravelli says there have always been different levels of understanding about how language should be used. But she says what's changed recently is that anyone can be a publisher thanks to new media and the internet. This means much of what we read online doesn't go through the editing and subediting processes written material would have undergone in the past.
In terms of the changes she is witnessing in the language at the moment, Ravelli says appreciation of how apostrophes should be used - for instance an understanding that it's is a contraction of it is - is declining.
"Language is about having a way to communicate that suits your purpose and people will find a way to express themselves, regardless of whether they are technically correct. Communication is about being functional. If someone can't make themselves understood they will work at it until they are understood," she says.
When it comes to their/they're/there, Ravelli says she thinks some misuse is accepted in some contexts, despite the clear distinction in the meaning of these words.
"Language suits many different contexts and we adjust our language for different purposes. For instance, when we send text messages to friends we may not worry about the finer points of language because they will understand us anyway."
As to whether we might be able to clean up English by removing inconsistencies and irregularities, Ravelli says this would be tough.
"Attempts to impose rules from above are usually spectacularly unsuccessful because of the many different contexts that apply to the way we use language. Formalised attempts to impose standards on language don't work because it evolves through convention."
So will we talk in text speak in the future? Ravelli points out that even the way we use text language has evolved. Ten years ago we sent them without having access to a Qwerty keyboard, instead punching a number several times until we got to the letter we wanted. So it's likely text language will continue to evolve in the future.
She says the short cuts with which we are now familiar thanks to how frequently we text and the speed of texting have influenced her own use of language. "When I send an informal email I find myself using abbreviations. But the text message form of communication won't suit every purpose. No one language standard can cover all situations," she says.
Ultimately, language is multifaceted, complex and situation-dependent. Although the pedants may disagree, maybe we should accept there's no right or wrong way to use language, and lighten up on those who we think don't use language correctly.

Farmers donate hay for stock in fire ravaged district
A Lockington Lions club member has been taking hay donations to the VFF emergency distribution centre in Lancefield.ELAINE COONEY February 25, 2014 4:10am
Lockington and district residents have been out in force, helping Kilmore and Wallan residents recover from recent fires.
Lockington Lions volunteer Giles Cary has been busy collecting fodder from farmers in the area and transporting truckloads to a VFF distribution centre in Lancefield.
He said the bulk of the hay came from two farmers in Kotta and another in Prairie.
Kotta farmer David Hammond said he and his neighbour, Andrew Christian, teamed up to donate a semi-load trailer of hay bales after seeing the plea for fodder in the newspaper last week.
He said the VFF was organising agistment for animals for a longer-term solution, but needed urgent fodder.
''I don't like to see animals in distress,'' he said.
Mr Hammond and Mr Christian sacrificed 32 round bales which were selling for $70 each.
He said he enjoyed helping out because he was a community-minded person who volunteered with the Kotta CFA and hall committees.
"I volunteer freely without expectations of anything, even thanks,'' he said.
''The firefighters do it all the time and don't expect thanks.''
Mr Cary said the farmers in need were pleased with the fodder because some animals had been without food for three days.
He spoke to some farmers whose houses were the only surviving buildings on their properties.
Bamawm resident and Victorian Church Council volunteer Bill Cochrane also visited the fire-ravaged areas last week, to check people were well and to point them in the right direction for services they needed.
Mr Cochrane said many people felt lucky their families and homes were safe but he encountered a range of different emotions while doorknocking.
''Some were happy to talk and have someone to listen and sometimes we'd cop the full blast of their frustration,'' he said.
He said the most difficult part was not being able to resolve all of their issues.
Mr Cochrane said some people were upset and some told him they could not find the safe evacuation points.
Others who left were said police would not allow them to return to their homes.
He said he understood their frustrations and the roles of the emergency services to ensure people's safety.
Mr Cochrane said the main community need was for fodder.
The Lockington Lions and VFF are still collecting fodder for farmers in need.
Mr Cary is filling another truck with hay but needs more donations.

A's demote Dan Straily to Triple-A
Jun 24, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT
Not so long ago Dan Straily looked to be establishing himself as a long-term member of Oakland's rotation, but after failing to make it out of the fifth inning in back-to-back start the A's demoted him back to Triple-A.
Straily is 24 years old with a 1.79 ERA and 102/25 K/BB ratio in 85 innings at Triple-A, so he doesn't have a whole lot more to prove in the Pacific Coast League at this point. He allowed just nine total homers in 28 starts between Double-A and Triple-A, but Straily is an extreme fly-ball pitcher and has served up 17 homers in 19 starts with the A's.
All those homers have led to a 4.58 ERA as a big leaguer, but Straily has posted a solid 85/36 K/BB ratio in 106 innings while holding opponents to a .238 batting average. Expect him to be back in the A's rotation soon enough.
- dw3dw - Jun 24, 2013 at 11:02 AM
This probably has more to do with the schedule than Straily. The A's have three off days over the next week (Monday, Thursday, Monday) so they probably figure to let Straily take his turn at Sacramento and maybe rebuild his confidence a little. I wouldn't mind seeing Sonny Gray, though.
- daveitsgood - Jun 24, 2013 at 11:02 AM
the A's have 3 off days in the next 8 games, so they're sending down so he can pitch in a game or two and not miss starts. It also gives them some flexibility to add a reliever or bat for the interim. He'll be back up soon.
- APBA Guy - Jun 24, 2013 at 11:56 AM
The guys above have it right, but it isn't totally as straightforward as he's going down just to get in his work. Straily has problems with poise, stemming from his consistency issue. He's taken a big step forward this year in that he's adopted the mantra of work fast, throw strikes, change speeds that the A's preach. His problem is the second one, throwing strikes, doesn't just mean throwing it down the middle and pray. He needs to command in the zone, and do that consistently. This is where Parker and Griffin have succeeded and Straily still needs work. To be fair, both Parker and Griffin are making mistakes, more than they did last year, but when they do, their mound poise-their recovery-is better. If a couple of starts at AAA helps Straily with consistency of command in the zone it will be well worth the trip for him and the A's.

About Lazy Star Brittanys
LazyStar was founded to raise American Brittany's that are great Hunting, Show Dogs and Companions. We were founded in 2011 as an off shoot of Treasure Keepers Brittany's. Star was born in 2005 and was originally sold as a pet. At 9 months old when the people that bought her could not keep her, Jim and Karyn bought her back. The following month at her 1st show she won a 2pt show in Vancouver. That night she curled up in Jim's lap. Karyn said "I guess we are keeping her". Since then she has earned her Championship in the show ring and has welped 3 litters of pups. We have kept 1 from her second and third litters. You can follow ChaCha and Sunshine on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/LazyStarBrattanys.

Submitted by: Lorraine on Jun 05, 2014I've gotta say, we may have one of the best puppies from Lazy Star! I've had Arrow now for almost 9 months now and have been waiting to write a review so I could see what her personality was like. I don't have one bad thing to say about her. She is so smart (she's learned to herd our chickens back into their coop every night!), LOVES kids, is quick to please and such a sweet dog. Anytime we are out for a walk, people stop us just to say how pretty she is. I'll definitely recommend going through Lazy Star for anyone looking for a Brittany. Thank you SO much, Jim and Karyn!
Submitted by: Tracy and Dave Eisenberg on Aug 22, 2013Our Brittany, Dover, is Chacha's liter mate. Dover is the best dog we have ever had. She is very smart and willing to please, and she is absolutely beautiful. We get compliments every time we take her out and about. Jim and Karyn are dedicated to breeding and raising top quality Brittanys. We would not hesitate to adopt another dog from Jim and Karyn and when we are ready for our next Brittany we will go to Lazy Star Brittanys first.
