Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
6/15 UPDATE: BOISE OPENING DAY ROSTER HAS BEEN RELEASED (see COMMENT #11 below)
Arismendy Alcantara singled, doubled, and tripled, stole a base, drove-in three runs, and scored two more, Richard Jones and Wes Darvill had three hits a piece, and Alvaro Ramirez clubbed a two-run HR, but it wasn't enough, as Kyung-Min Na had three hits, stole two bases, and scored twice, and Xavier Batista had three RBI, leading the upstart AZL Cubs (Mesa Cubs) to a 9-7 victory over the Boise Hawks at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this morning. The game was a pre-planned eleven-inning contest.
This was the final tune-up for the Hawks, who will fly from Phoenix to Boise tomorrow morning. Their first game will be Friday night at Yakima.
Some of the innings in today's game were terminated with less than three outs ("Roll It!") because the pitcher reached his maximum pitch limit for that inning, while other innings were extended beyond three outs ("Stay Out There!") to allow a pitcher to throw more pitches.
After the game, Boise Manager Jody Davis called Kyung-Min Na over to the Hawks post-game huddle from the Mesa Cubs bench ("Kyung-Min Na, come on down!"), as the speedy 18-year old Korean apparently won the Hawks' "4th outfielder" job (at least temporarily) with his outstanding play in today's game. (Cody Shields would have been the 4th OF at Boise, but he will be left behind at Fitch Park after suffering a broken hand in an intrasquad game the last week of Extended Spring Training).
Infielder Brandon May was on the Boise bench today, but did not play due to a lingering sore left leg. I don't know if May will be traveling with the Hawks to Boise tomorrow, or if he will be remaining at Fitch Park for a few days to rehab the injury.
Also, 1B-3B Bobby Wagner will apparently be remaining at Fitch Park a while longer while he continues his conversion to catcher. He played with the AZL Cubs (Mesa) squad today, and he did not participate in the Hawks post-game meeting.

WEATHER: Hot and sunny, with temperatures in the 90's
The Boise Hawks are the Cubs "Short-Season A" affiliate in the Northwest League. Besides the Cubs affiliate in Boise, ID, the other seven clubs in the league are the Tri-City Dust Devils (Rockies) in Pasco, WA, the Yakima Bears (Diamondbacks) in Yakima, WA, the Spokane Indians (Rangers) in Spokane, WA, the Eugene Emeralds (Padres) in Eugene, OR, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (Giants) in Keizer, OR, the Everett Aqua Sox (Mariners) in Everett, WA, and the Vancouver Canadians (A's) in Vancouver, BC. All eight of the clubs have their minor league base in Arizona, so the players know the rival players pretty well from having played a lot of them in AZL, Spring Training, Extended Spring Training, and/or Instructional League games.
Per MLB Rule 51, a "Short Season A" club may have a maximum of four players on its roster age 23 or older, and a maximum of three players on its roster with three years or more of minor league service time coming into the season. (Seasons spent playing in DSL, VSL, Mexican League, or MLB international academies don't count toward minor league service time limit, the age limit does not apply to first-year players who sign after June 5th, and there is a one-year service time exemption for position players who are being converted to pitcher).
Generally speaking, players assigned to Boise would include college players selected in the recent Rule 4 Draft (First-Year Player Draft), and Latin, Pacific Rim, and U. S. high school and JC players who have "graduated" from Fitch Park (EXST Cubs & AZL Cubs).
Players assigned to Boise stay with "host families," which are local Boise residents who house and feed the young Cubbies (Hawks) during their stay in Boise. In return, the families receive complimentary season-tickets to the Hawks home games.
It's not unusual for players and host families to stay in touch for many years after the player has left and moved on to other things. Occasionally a player who stayed with a host family one year and another player who stayed with the same host family in a different season meet each other in later years and discover their "family connection."
The Boise gig is a lot different than Minor League Camp, Extended Spring Training, AZ Instructional League, or playing for the AZL Cubs in Mesa at Fitch Park. The players assigned to Fitch Park stay in the same motel (two players per room) with a curfew and no alcohol allowed in the rooms. Shuttle vans (maxi-vans) transport the players from the motel to Fitch Park and back, and road trips consist of maybe a 20-minute ride to another minor league complex in the maxi-vans.
But in Boise, the players are mostly on their own. They have to find their own way to the ballpark, and the Cubs rely on the host families to help keep the player on the "straight & narrow." (The Cubs probably wouldn't want a couple of meth freaks to be a host family). And Boise road trips consist of all night bus rides through the back roads and high deserts of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia, with pre-made peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and/or Dominos Pizza (usually the only "restaurant" open late in most of the Northwest League towns) the in-bus meal.
The Boise club has a 35-man Reserve List (which is like a major league club's 40-man roster) and a 30-man Active List (which would be like a MLB club's 25-man roster).
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Looks like Huseby is right again - seems like they should promote him rapidly if he's throwing strikes, like a trip to Knoxvegas.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Thanks for the report. Are any new signees showing up in AZ yet?
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Brett Jackson hit for the cycle tonight (in extra innings), including a walk-off home run to win the game. It's still early, but he might be the most exciting offensive player to come through the system in many a year.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
The power is showing up a bit more lately. He'll probably need to flash at least a little pop with that K rate, so it's nice to see. Definitely looking good so far.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Angels shortstop Aybar taken out by Brewers Magahee have not seen it
but a litle bad blood between teams tonite
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
unnecessary but he was on the base....McGehee certainly didn't seem too upset over it.
Q&A with Simpson
who hasn't signed yet somehow...
says he sits between 93-94 most of the time..
I throw a changeup and I've yet to see anybody throw it the way I throw it. It's hard to explain, but I throw it two different ways – one way to right-handed batters where it drops straight down and another way to lefties where it runs away and goes down. And I throw a two-seam fastball that's more like a sinker; an overhand 12-6 curveball; then the four-seam fastball and then I throw a slider that's two different ways as well.
was being recruited by Division I schools. They wanted to see me pitch again at the end of the spring and I more or less just wanted to get that over with because I knew we had a really good team in high school that year, and we were trying to win a state championship. I threw a one-hitter in the state championship game and got beat, 2-1. That was not good, but I felt like [going to Southern Arkansas] was the best for me and it turns out it was a very good decision and it's hard to argue with what happened. I think that was the best decision that I could have made at the time, and looking back at it now, knowing what I know, I'd have made the same decision.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Parachatters will appreciate this bit of news... Quicksand Jesus struck by lightening and caught on fire...
Charred remnants remained this morning, June 15, of the large Jesus statue iconic to Interstate 75 that was destroyed following an apparent lightning strike during a thunderstorm late Monday night.
The photo of the giant Jesus statue on fire is kind of Revelations-esque.
"God struck God, I like the irony. Jesus struck Jesus," said Dawn Smith, 25, of Hamilton, who was among those standing outside the vehicles along Union Road. "I had to see it. What else are you going to do on a Monday night?"
Haha... life in Dayton, Ohio... "What else are you going to do on a Monday night?" Go to bed so you can get up for wo... whoops, nevermind.
Sorry, carry on.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Neu said indications are lightning struck the right hand of the statue. 911 calls received by Monroe and Warren County dispatchers confirm witnesses saw the hand on fire first.
that could have only been more awesome if it started throwing fireballs at cars going down the road...you couldn't write a script better than that.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
this is like a simpson's episode .
Jesus got bbq'ed.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
that could have only been more awesome if it started throwing fireballs at cars going down the road...
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
I hope this doesn't affect your reporting for us.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
No Cubs anywhere near the All-Star vote
Byrd making a good case at the moment, 5th in OPS among OF'ers (13th overall), 2nd in the league in hitting behind Ethier who missed 2 weeks and 2nd in the league in doubles.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
that was my feeling a few weeks back as well, but Byrd's making a nice run. If anything he might make one of the final 5 that fans can vote for...
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
This year is actually going to be really interesting because many NL players are struggling and many big names in particular are struggling. I took a quick look at the fan voting so far, the player/coaches voting from last year, and roster requirements, etc.
I would expect the fan voting to put in:
C: Molina
1B: Pujols
2B: Utley
3B: Wright (trailing now, but should overtake Polanco)
SS: Ramirez
OF: Braun
OF: Heyward
OF: Ethier (It's possible Heyward drops - he really wouldn't deserve it - and Werth moves up and takes it)
Coaches/Player voting is tough to predict. It is partly based on performance and partly on respect. A pitcher might not have many wins because he plays for a crappy team, but hitters considering him difficult to face, etc. Based on last year's voting and this year's performance, I would except something like:
C: McCann (basically no NL catchers deserve to be All-Stars this year, but I would guess he and Molina are the two again like last year)
1B: Gonzalez
2B: Phillips
3B: Zimmerman
SS: Tulowitzki
OF: Werth
OF: Hart???
OF: Byrd??? (These last two OF slot are difficult. If Hart is still leading the league HRs he might get in, as might Byrd if he is batting over .330 still and because of his defense and hustle. There are just no no-brainers for these slots. I picked Hart and Byrd out of a group of OFs having good seasons that includes Andres Torres, Andrew McCutchen, Carlos Gonzalez, Colby Rasmus, and Johnny Gomes. This just doesn't look like a list of All-Stars, so it is difficult to predict who the players/coaches vote for here)
SP: Jiminez
SP: Halladay
SP: Johnson (voted in by players last year and doing very well again this year)
SP: Pelfrey (9-1, w. 2.39 ERA)
SP: Wainwright
RP: Bell
RP: Broxton (both were voted in last year and are dominating again this year)
RP: Marmol (I think he has a shot here. Last year the third closer was K-Rod, who could be it again this year, but players and managers take notice of dominance like Marmol has had)
At this point the manager has to select the DH for the NL, 3 position players, and 5 pitchers. And in doing so has to make sure all teams are represented. That means a Pirate, Astro, Giant, and D-Back.
I think Rolen, with the year he is having, will be added and named the DH if he is not chosen ahead of Zimmerman by the players and already on the roster. Either way, I expect him to start if Wright or someone else wins the player vote.
The position players will probably include:
2B: Kelly Johnson (only logical D-Back IMO)
OF: Garrett Jones (or possibly McCutchen, the only logical Pirates IMO)
SS: Juan Uribe (after Tulo and Ramirez he has the third highest OPS among shortstops and the drop to 4th is big. Managers like to have 3 shortstops on the roster, and he is the most logical Giant for position players)
***But Manuel has said publicly that he likes Prado of the Braves who is having a good year, so it is possible he is picked here over Uribe and Manuel simply goes with a Giant pitcher for the SFO roster spot.
The remaining 5 pitchers are a crapshoot. Expect Lindstrom to be taken as the token Astro. I can't think of really anyone else on the roster deserving at all. Oswalt is pitching well, but you don't usually go to the AS game with a 4-8 record
So of the 4 remaining he might take K-Rod if the players selected Marmol above, or Marmol if they selected K-Rod. But Brian Wilson would be another good closer candidate if he wants a 5th closer after the 3 voted in and Lindstrom.
The remaining starters that would be considered include Cain, Lincecum, and Zito from the Giants, Carpenter, Silva, and Hudson, and maybe a couple more depending on how the last few weeks go.
Also remember that MLB has a new rule that any starter scheduled the Sunday before the All-Star can be selected but is automatically ineligible to pitch and replaced on the roster. So do not be surprised if the managers use this to spread the love a bit and avoid flak for not picking someone. For example, if Cain pitches Sunday, Manuel might pick Cain and name Lincecum his replacement. A nice two for one.
Those are my thoughts, but a lot can happen between now and then, and there are too many people's opinions involved in the selection process to have any hope of predicting it very accurately.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
that is some impressive work...thanks.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
McCutchen has to beat out Jones if it comes down to just having a Pirate on the team.
Interesting read, WISCGRAD!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
You could very well be correct. McCutchen is at .307/.374/.475 compared to Jones at .274/.349/.465, and McCutchen also as the edge in stolen bases (14-5), runs (37-28), doubles (15-14), but Jones has the edge in HR (10-7), and a huge edge in RBI (39-19). Probably depends if Manuel wants more power or speed for that roster spot.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
McCutchen is also a decent defender and a real CF. Jones is an average RF at best. That's what I was really thinking about. If they are close in offense, McCutchen is ahead because of his defense.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Kapman suggests Cubs have until ASB to turn it around
From now to the All Star Break will determine the long term future of the Cubs. Keep losing and there will be huge changes.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
best thing that happened to Randy Wells in a month....
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
some Cubs stuff, Cubs would love to move Fukudome now (very forward thinking of them as always), Lilly and Lee of course possible as the deadline approaches.
Cubs stay in Chicago through July 4th, so I guess this is the time for their run.
Gossip from last week
Ramirez and Z acting up, clubhouse disarray...2nd time I've heard about this now.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
a manager does what now?
Re: Gossip from last week
does this have anything to do with z to the pen and soto's benching?
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
it probably has a lot to do with lou rarely actually in the clubhouse and it running itself.
it wasn't so neat last year, either.
fragmentation and players left to themselves to form the social environment and how it's policed has become a normal thing over the past few years for the cubs.
in a clubhouse that's 1/4 the size of most team's clubhouses...phew...
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
But wait, manager's don't matter, right? First the other day you said they make important in-game decisions, now you say that they have an impact on the team by how well they manage the clubhouse? This is pure craziness!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
every time i explain the point you ignore it.
here's craziness...explaining yet again that it's about how similar managers are and how little difference the guy making $3-5m is vs. the guy making 500K-1m.
please write that down on a note card and tape it to your monitor.
you also might note the past rants by me noted the main job of a manger is keeping people from becoming fragmented and disgruntled while working/traveling together 200+ days.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Pulling sources from Bleed Cubbie Blue now? I wouldn't trust one damn thing that AL writes as truthful or trust any of his little minions. That site feeds off its own ego and who can bullshit each other the most, while they all live in happy little world of group think.
Don't you dare post something that goes against their pre-designed thought process. AL Just bans you. Desipio has a whole thread dedicated to it in its forum.
Re: Gossip from Last Week
Al didn't write it.
Try reading.
and as I mentioned, it was the 2nd time I've come across info that Ramirez and Z are being difficult, the other having nothing to do with Al or the person who posted that comment.
and you know, it was labeled gossip.
Gossip is idle talk or rumour, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. It forms one of the oldest and most common means of sharing (unproven) facts and views, but also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information transmitted. ...
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
First, relax dude, I'm just giving you a hard time. Second, I don't ignore it, I just still do not fully understand your point. Is it that some managers are good at making in-game decisions and managing a clubhouse and some are not, but the difference in pay between the former and latter is not worth the advantage gained in wins by making good in-game decisions and having a sound clubhouse? So you would prefer the manager be good at these things, but would rather pay $1 million for someone who is bad than $3 million for someone who is good, because you think the $2 million gains the team very little? Is this it?
If so, it makes sense. I certainly don't have any data to show that having Bobby Cox is worth 4 wins above a replacement manager, or something like that. I wish we did. But we don't really have that data, so your gut from watching baseball for a long time is that managers don't matter much, especially $2-3 million dollars as much. My impression is that they do. We can feel free to agree to disagree on the value of MLB managing.
But what I don't get, and why I keep ribbing you, is if you believe this, then why complain at all about managers if they matter very little or not at all for wins and losses? Yet every time Lou does something you don't like you complain about it. But who cares? Right? If you think the impact of managing is not even worth a million or two a year, then these decisions should be inconsequential and not worth your time complaining about.
It would be like me complaining every singly home game about the small, crappy clubhouse in Wrigley and its effect on the team. Then when someone suggest spending money to fix it up, I turn around and say that I don't think the team should spend any money on fixing it up because it doesn't matter for wins and losses.
That's where my confusion lies. It seems on one hand that you care a LOT about managing, and then on the other that everyone who thinks managers matter is foolhardy.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
"Yet every time Lou does something you don't like you complain about it"
not even a shred of close. check out lou follies vs. crunch posts. you're not gonna find a lot.
you will find the only thing i care about is a clubhouse who's players know their role and know who the 'boss' is and going to work for these guys isn't a chore.
if i wanted to bag on lou i could lay out a laundry list...just i could for dusty...just like i could for baylor...for torre...for bobby cox...for bobby valentine...etc etc etc
you don't wanna see that...though some thought it was a sport bigger than the one they were watching when trainspotting dusty was more fun than the game.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Why should we write it down when we know you'll post it over and over again?
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
my heart fills with blood for the torture that is reading a 'crunch' post.
yeah, we got another wonder boy manager...just like the last 3.
we'll have another and people will shake their heads when he's not mr. magic, too.
at least this manager doesn't have 100 TCR readers picking apart his every move as if he's something special.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
If Al says he believes it, then it must be true...
When Dusty was the manager, I voiced my opinion several times about how he wasn't doing his job. He didn't lead, he didn't motivate, and he didn't discipline. I've been a big supporter of Piniella's up until now, but I'm having a harder and harder time distinguishing between how Dusty responded to an underperforming team in his final year and how Piniella is responding now. If the story from BCB is true, then the Cubs (and Piniella) have much more serious problems than Theriot's OPS.
Re: Gossip from Last Week
I would assume the term gossip in the title would be a tipoff to how much value should be put into it.
But as I said, it's the 2nd time in the last month it's been related that Z and Aramis are being difficult from 2 different sketchy sources.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
That's good to hear. I hate how this team plays right now, but I like the players, especially Aramis and I'd hate to have to hate them too.
Wow, a BCB regular is full of shit?! Shocker. Fart.
Re: Gossip from Last Week
probably not, a story was related to that person and they shared it. I'm sure that is what they were indeed told, just like when Chad was told something from someone he trusted that Peavy was being traded to the Cubs, it just didn't turn out to happen.
We're not the NYT here.
i got an email from someone I talk to regularly who was told something very similar a few weeks back about Aramis and Z being issues (nothing about not taking practice or anything), but a friend of a friend stories I tend not to pass on unless I hear it more than once.
Re: Here Come the Hawks, the Mighty... Boise Hawks!
Not a slight on you Rob. I'm glad you posted it, I'm just hopeful that it isn't true.
This also isn't a rumor sight, like, uh, other places...where there are loads of "my anonymous source tells me such and such" that turn out to be untrue, where scoops outweigh legitimacy.
I also think there is a difference between someone saying that trade is about to happen (which might be true even if it doesn't) and someone saying that people are acting a certain way (if they aren't).
Good luck hendry
says very few teams can take on money right now, also says Dbacks are open for business besides Upton and Kennedy.

Oh what do you know, Cubster? Go back to your day job.
--- Ducks, puts on Cardinals cap, runs.
Russell had a severe hamstring last year while with the A's system, forcing him to miss the first half of 2014. I've even wondered if his injury last year was a component of Billy Beane putting him on the trade market. He was quoted saying that last year's injury was a 10 out of 10 when it happened. Last night he said his hamstring soreness was a 1/1.5 out of 10. Hamstring injuries are tricky though, so I'd expect the medical team to be overly cautious here.
...I want to reinforce the observation that there was no sea of red in the crowd. The usual Cardinal fans roaming the stadium were few and far between.
Also, almost every 2 strike pitch brought the fans to their feet. Good for those in knee rehab.
"1st team hit hit 6HR in a game in the postseason." rises above obvious...i checked it with the official fact-finding commission of Douche, Douche, and Douchestein. they agreed with you, but they're a bunch of f'n douches so who cares?
btw, the cubs are 2-1 in the post-season series.
I should be able to watch the game on the NFL replay app, whatever that thing is called. I've got it on my iPad. This is the first year I haven't forced myself to somehow watch every game - no I take that back, last year was - in quite some time. Last year was so unbearable, no pun intended.
You make some good points about Cutler, and I was a holdout defender of Cutler for a long time. I gave up on him a bit after one too many dumb interceptions, but last year doesn't count. Trestman was the worst coach in Bears history.
Nice little reportage there!. I think you're older than me. Considerably older. Maybe several generations. Working out is so essential, especially as age kicks in, isn't it? I still lift weights, and so I'm confident that when I get to be at the hip breaking age, mine won't be a statistic. But I have a ways to go for that to be a concern.
What was impressive to me is that the Cubs won despite poor base running, several defensive miscues, Russell leaving due to injury, Arrieta having an off game and getting knocked out early, and Rondon giving up 2 runs in the 9th. If they can win a game like that...
I was there too. The crowd was absolutely electric. People were standing for every big and semi-big moment, from the first inning on. It felt incredibly strange and exhilarating to see the Cubs (the Chicago bleepin' Cubs!) score playoff insurance runs on the Cardinals. What a game. One to remember.
14 in attendance. What's the record for attendance in the fall? I guess I should ask what the record attendance listed is in one of your recaps.
I was there too, with my grown son. This is my miracle year-- I rose to the top of the season ticket list after eight years, completely unexpectedly, and my wonderful wife agreed to put the ticket fee on the emergency credit card. The whole point of course was that the Cubs were going to be good this year, and then for a while, so to get season tickets with the guaranteed shot at the postseason was incredible timing. We got to the remote lot at 4:10 after stopping at Nhu Lan for our usual banh mi sandwiches, only to find the lot full, way earlier than normal.
Wrigley was electric tonite
Not many card fans
Video board was great, they played "there goes my hero" by foos over ryno highlights before he came out. Spectacular
Good times hopefully they win tomorrow but think Lester will beat poopy pants on Wednesday.
Happy 4th anniversary of Theo's signing
Go Cubs !
Yeah. "Goodbye!" is a lame HR call.
I miss Len and JD -- although, driving home from a friend's, WBBM played all 6 HR calls in a row -- and Len got to call the Bryant/Rizzo back-to-back. Very fun.
Lackey has been a beast against us. His stats on 3 days rest, however, not as nice. There is plenty of hope.
And, no dreadlocks grown yet.
Captain Obvious Strikes Again!!!
Amen, brother.

" />
The United States has launched a multipronged effort to assist foreign migrant workers who have fled fighting in Libya into neighbouring Tunisia, sending two air force cargo planes to deliver blankets and other supplies, even as 10,000 Bangladeshi nationals remain stranded in that country.
Plans have also been made to fly an unspecified number of refugees from camps along the Libya-Tunisia border on Saturday. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, confirmed that in addition to the military flights to Djerba, Tunisia, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has also chartered two civilian aircraft to help repatriate stranded migrant workers.
"We know that there is a lot of confusion on the ground that is often difficult for us to sort through to get to what the actual facts are," Clinton said on Friday. "But the United States remains deeply concerned about the welfare of the Libyan people. Both the Libyans and those who are fleeing Libya are the subject of our outreach."
PJ Crowley, the US state department's spokesman, confirmed that the C-130 aircraft had delivered the supplies, and that they would repatriate Egyptian nationals on Saturday.
The two airforce C-130 cargo planes flew from Ramstein air base in Germany, picked up 4,000 blankets, 9,600 10-litre water containers and 40 rolls of plastic sheeting to be used for shelter, and then headed for Tunisia.
Bangladeshis stranded
More than 10,000 Bangladeshi nationals, however, remain stranded in Tunisia, even as planeloads of Egyptian refugees were airlifted home from the country.
The evacuation involved a major international effort, with aircraft and ships from Britain, France and other countries taking part in a coordinated mission to shift thousands of people who have fled the violence in Libya. Officials said about 50 evacuation flights were to leave Djerba, in Tunisia.
"Thanks to a rapid response from the international community, significant progress has been made with the evacuation of Egyptians and other nationalities from Tunisia," Melissa Fleming, the UN refugees agency (UNHCR) spokeswoman, told reporters in Geneva.
She added that about 12,500 people still awaited evacuation, and that 10,000 of them were Bangladeshis. She said that two flights were planned to head to Bangladesh, with a Bangladeshi diplomat indicating that about 350 people will be evacuated on those aircraft.
A line of thousands of Bangladeshis stretched for kilometres between camps in the Tunisian port town of Ras Ajdir and the town of Choucha.
Tunisian authorities said the Bangaldeshi refugees were being moved to a transit camp run by the military and the United Nations.
The number of foreigners who fled Libya for Tunisia reached 100,000 since February 20 on Friday, according to Monji Slim, a representative of the regional Red Crescent. About 100,000 more are said to have headed to Egypt and Niger, which Libya also shares land borders with.
They included 35,000 Egyptians, 5,500 Chinese, 1,000 Indians, 1,760 Filipinos and close to 800 Vietnamese. About 2,500 Libyans, mostly businessmen, have also been registered.
The UNHCR has expressed concern that refugees are now being prevented from leaving the country by pro-government forces. Several refugees reported that their cash, mobile phones and cameras had been confiscated en route the border. While tens of thousands have been crossing the border daily, on Thursday that number plummetted to just 1,800.
Kristalina Georgieva, the EU's crisis response commissioner, has urged the Libyan government to allow humanitarian workers into the country.
Aid camp
The aid camp at Ras Ajdir can handle about 20,000 refugees at a time, and its white tents, equipped with blankets and mattresses filled up quickly on Friday.
There is a steady flow of buses running between the camp and the airport, about two hours away.
More than 550 tons of humanitarian supplies like tents, blankets and kitchen sets arrived in recent days, said Goran Stojanovski, of the UN refugee agency. Tunisians have donated much of the food at the camp, cooking warm lunches of pasta and couscous.
In midafternoon, new arrivals lined up for white bread, yogurt and water.
In another part of the camp, men waited for the chance to make a three-minute call home, thanks to Telecoms Sans Frontieres (Telecommunications Without Borders), a group donating the service.
At an Egyptian crossing, 40 West Africans "paid a human smuggler to take them to Egypt in a sealed and refrigerated truck," said Jemini Pandya, a spokeswoman for the International Organisation for Migration.
US economic measures
Also on Friday, it was announced that Timothy Geithner, the US treasury secretary, would be visiting Germany to discuss with officials of that country global efforts to pressure the Gaddafi government through economic penalties.
Geithner told the Senate foreign relations committee on Thursday that the US government had so far frozen approximately $32 billion in Libyan assets, the largest such freeze to ever take place.
In comments on Thursday, Barack Obama, the US president, asserted that Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, must leave and that his administration was considering a full range of options, including a no-fly zone. He stressed, however, that humanitarian relief was an essential part of any international response.
Two US amphibious warships, the USS Kearsarge and the USS Ponce are deployed in the Mediterranean sea, but have so far not received any orders regarding action, humanitarian or otherwise, Pentagon officials say. Four hundred US Marines have been dispatched to join the USS Kearsarge, however.

The Use of MS Techniques and MS Signals in Swedish Television
Five years ago the Swedish Television Company adopted the MS technique as a practical standard for recording in stereo with coincident microphones. The paper discusses the way MS signals are used in recording, mixing, monitoring, and editing within the Swedish Television Company. The operational advantages of the technique and problems of implementing the MS method within a large organization which functions also in mono are outlined. Special hardware was built in order to make it possible for the operators to handle the unmatrixed MS signals directly. Recent results of training a group of film editors and VHS pre-editors indicate that they can handle stereo signals and take advantage of the flexibility MS signals offer in monitoring.

Learning to decipher the language of hands is like learning any language.
We can figure out a lot intuitively when we know the meaning of some words and if we make constant attempts to keep practicing and get feedback. However we can speed up our fluency and really master the language when we actively learn the grammar.
Here's an example from personal experience. About 15 years ago, when I first started learning German, I made the mistake of learning a large vocabulary of nouns without learning the associated article (die, der, das) because English has only one article, namely "the", I didn't think it was that important.
Result: I made mastery of the language an impossible task. German is incredibly precise. I couldn't figure out how mother tongue German speakers instinctively knew which article to use. It was only when I learnt the Swiss nickname for a toy doll which is "Babelli" and then heard the kids saying s'Babelli I realized that, even in the colloquial dialects, Swiss kids were always learning the article "das" shortened to "s'-" as part of the word. To learn one without the other (like I did) is like learning only half of each word. Naturally you are never going to be fluent no matter how huge your vocabulary.
Why am I telling you this?
The same applies to hand analysis. Click here to read more …

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., April 9, 2014 - A school record 468 Penn State student-athletes earned a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the 2013 fall semester, with nearly 200 earning Dean's List recognition.
The 468 high achievers topped the previous Penn State record of 463 student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA during the 2012 fall semester. The 468 student-athletes earning at least a 3.0 GPA represents 59 percent of Penn State's nearly 800 student-athletes enrolled during the fall semester.
Among the 468 student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA, a total of 197 earned Dean's List honors during the 2013 fall semester by posting a GPA of 3.50 or higher. The 197 total was third-highest in school history. A minimum 12 credits are required for Dean's List recognition.
"I am extremely proud of our student-athletes and coaches for their consistent dedication to academic achievement and maintaining its proper place at the forefront of the Penn State student experience," said David Joyner, Director of Athletics. "The credit belongs to the student-athletes, coaches, professors and Morgan Center staff for another record academic performance from the fall semester, our high graduation rates and many outstanding academic successes."
The efforts of the student-athletes resulted in a combined average GPA of 3.04 during the fall semester among Penn State's 31 varsity sports. Nineteen teams earned a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Penn State student-athletes, who have captured a 15 Big Ten Championships and four NCAA titles the past two years consistently have been among the nation's most successful in earning their degrees. Among some of the recent academic accomplishments are:
- A total of 84 Penn State student-athletes from seven fall sports earned 2013 Academic All-Big Ten accolades, the Nittany Lions' second-highest total in their 21 years as Big Ten members;
|John Urschel
- The NCAA data in October also showed the four-year federal graduation rate average for Penn State student-athletes was 78 percent, significantly higher than the national average of 65 percent, and tied for second among Big Ten Conference institutions; - The NCAA's annual study of institutions nationwide in October, 2013 revealed that Penn State student-athletes at the University Park campus earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent compared to an 81 percent average for all Division I institutions for students entering from 2003-04 through 2006-07;
- Penn State's Katie Slay (women's volleyball) and John Urschel (football) earned first-team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors last fall, with Slay being selected the Academic All-American of the Year for women's volleyball. Penn State has had 184 all-time honorees, the third-highest total among Division I institutions, with 38 Academic All-Americans honorees the past six years.

North Country Heart delivers a dozen tracks of solid Americana.
Gordie Tentrees
North Country Heart
US: 7 Aug 2012
UK: 15 Oct 2012
With North Country Heart, Gordie Tentrees has joined an increasingly long list of Canadians who are, somewhat strangely, making some of the most honest Americana music today. While North Country Heart certainly isn't the absolute best Americana has to offer, it's close enough to get Tentrees serious consideration for that kind of status. The genre inflections throughout this record are beautifully navigated and it ends up feeling surprisingly complete. There's a perfect balance between urgency and melancholy that characterizes a lot of the absolute best Americana. Whether it's the propulsive snare hits on the title track, the piano licks on "Hill Country Blues", or the harmonica bursts on "Last Word", it's clear that North Country Heart is a record with purpose. By the time "Wasted Moments" comes to a close, it'd be difficult to not be won over. A very strong effort.

Full BBC Red Button platform lands on Freesat
The BBC has announced that its Red Button service is now fully operational for Freesat viewers.
Previously Freesaters only had access to limited content and not the whole shebang. For example, during December Freesat viewers were not able to see bonus content from Miranda and Stephen K Amos, Weekend Wogan extras or the Alan Davies show - imagine the horror!
But it's all sorted now though, with the Beeb's Ronald Bullen confirming the new platform in a blog post on BBC.co.uk.
"The BBC Red Button offering on the new platform was not quite the same as that on our existing platforms such as Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview and this has generated some comments since then," he wrote.
"In particular, Freesat viewers have been keen to enjoy the same video content that was made available on other platforms. I want to update these Freesat viewers on some exciting developments.
"Today, all Freesat viewers (broadcast and IP connected boxes) will be able to access our single stream video services as well as the Sport Multiscreen service that accompanied the initial launch; this brings Freesat viewers a wider range of BBC Red Button video-based services to enjoy."
You can check out what's on the Red Button service using the dedicated "What's on" website. Or you could just push the Red Button, and prepare yourself for a treat.
