Carlos Beltran to the Giants is awaiting approval
According to SNY, a deal that will send Carlos Beltran to the Giants is currently awaiting player and league approval. Beltran has 24 hours to approve the trade.
Wheeler is the only prospect the Mets will be getting in the deal, Joel Sherman of the New York Post said on Twitter. In addition, according to SI.com's Jon Heyman, the Mets will pay roughly $4 million of the $6 million due to Beltran for 2011.
Opinion added by Matthew Cerrone:
So, basically, we're talking a top-pitching prospect in Wheeler for Beltran and cash, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a steal considering Beltran will test free agency at the end of this season and he cannot bring back draft pick compensation if he leaves. Wheeler instantly becomes the team's top pitching prospect along with Matt Harvey, who, with Jeurys Familia, give the team a good stable of young pitching.
Andy Martino of the Daily News says talks between the Giants and Mets broke down last week over Zack Wheeler, 'but Sandy Alderson held firm and never dropped price.'
Updated at 2:10 pm:
According to Sherman, the Giants are on verge of acquiring Beltran.
ESPN's Buster Olney Wheeler is the center piece of the deal. To be more specific, OF prospect Gary Brown and LHP Jonathan Sanchez are not in the deal, Sherman said on Twitter.
According to Heyman, though the Rangers 'tried hard,' the Giants are currently the favorites to acquire Beltran, 'and a deal could get done soon.'
Opinion added by Matthew Cerrone:
As I mentioned earlier today, I believe the Mets have been in deep talks with the Rangers and Giants over the last day or so, while continuing to keep a dialogue open with the Braves, Phillies, Red Sox and others. Right now, if I had to bet, I say he goes to one of Texas or San Francisco (though right now it's clearly looking like the Giants) who will pay about half of his salary, while giving up at least two prospects in return.
Updated at 12:53 pm:
Earlier today, Joel Sherman of the New York Post said Scott Boras is trying to get Beltran traded to the Giants, since they are a team that will have the necessary money to re-sign him after the season.
This past weekend, two Mets beat reporters said they were hearing more and more talk from people close to the team suggesting Beltran would eventually end up in San Francisco.
Original Post at 11:25 am:
According to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, while the Rangers are offering the Mets more players for Carlos Beltran, the Giants are offering fewer players but more quality.

FAQs about Oregon's medical marijuana law
EUGENE, Ore. -- In November, Oregon voters will make a decision about medical marijuana dispensaries.
KVAL News wants you to make an informed decision about Initiative 28, which would allow state-run dispensaries to sell marijuana.
Under current Oregon law, patients with certain medical conditions can have, grow and use marijuana for therapy. However, patients must either grow the pot themselves or have someone else grow it for them. They cannot buy it.
So, what exacatly is medical Marijuana anyway?
In the state of Oregon, patients with debilitating conditions can apply to the state department of public health to use marijuana to ease their conditions.
Thousands of card-carrying patients right here in Lane County use medical marijuana to treat debilitating conditions.
By state law, doctors can recommend marijuana use for these ailments: Cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, severe pain, severe muscle spasms, seizures and Cachexia, and some conditions brought on my Alzheimers. The majority of patients -- 65 percent -- use it for pain.
How do patients get medical marijuana?
A patient must fill out an application to the state department of public health. That application must be signed by a state-licensed doctor indicating that they believe marijuana use could help the patient's condition.
If approved, the patient can receive a medical marijuana card and is thereby allowed to legally use it as therapy.
How many people have the card?
As of July 1, 2010, there are more than 36,000 card carriers in Oregon. There are about 4,000 in Lane County.
Last year, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program received about 24,000 applications. About 1,000 people were denied.
Who can grow medical marijuana?
Under current law, a card carrying patient can either grow pot themselves or designate someone else to grow it for them.
Either way the grower and grow site must be indicated on the application.
Once a grower is designated, they must have a medical marijuana grower's card. They also may not have more than six mature plants at a time.
Between a grower, patient and/or primary caregiver there must not be more than 24 ounces of useable marijuana between them.
That's about the size of four softballs.
Right now there can be no exchange of money between a grower and a patient, but Initiative 28 could change all that and allow for dispensaries to sell the pot.
Many patients say the current setup doesn't work and that it can make them feel like criminals.
Watch KVAL News on Thursday, July 22, to hear a medical marijuana patient talk about how dispensaries would help. On Friday, KVAL News will look at how law enforcement feels about the possibility of dispensaries.

GM Watch: Angelo Out of the Running?
According to CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, former Bears general manager Jerry Angelo is unlikely to be brought back for a second interview with the Jets.
David AitkenAngelo is one of the few prospective GMs the Jets have interviewed that has previous experience holding the position with another NFL franchise. He accomplished some good things with the Bears, notably a couple of division titles and a Super Bowl berth. But Angelo's track record isn't flawless either, and particularly for where the Jets have struggled lately to accumulate talent Angelo seems like an especially poor fit. The Bears did not successfully draft and develop a quarterback under Angelo, and in general Chicago's drafting track record on offense under Angelo's leadership was quite poor. If La Canfora's report is true, the Jets have likely dodged a bullet.

The International Rugby Board has announced the match official appointments for The Rugby Championship 2014, with Australian Rugby to be represented by Steve Walsh and Rohan Hoffmann.
The IRB has announced its match officials list for the second stage of the 2014 IRB Junior World Championships overnight, with two Australians appointed to referee two of the games in New Zealand on Sunday.
We're excited to announce that Australian Rugby will be moving to a new online system for national competition management and participant registration for the 2014 Rugby Sevens season and the 2015 club Rugby season.
We're set for an exciting year with plenty to look forward to in 2014, including our Qantas Men's Sevens team competing in the Commonwealth Games (July), the Women's Rugby World Cup in France (August) and the launch of a new domestic competition – the National Rugby Championship (August).
The IRB has announced its list of appointments to a host of international tournaments and matches this year, with nine Australian Rugby Union-affiliated referees featuring prominently.
After 18 months of preparation for the competition, the Junior Gold Cup commences tonight at Ballymore with Brisbane Yellow taking on Gold Coast. The competition has 24 competing centres across Australia with teams in both the 15's and 17s category will compete over six weeks to see who will be crowned the inaugural Junior Gold Cup champion.
More people participated in Rugby across Australia in the past year than ever before, with 615,809 participants in 2013 compared to the previous year (an increase of 27.5%), with participation in Rugby Sevens a major factor in the increase in participation numbers.
Australia's best emerging Super Rugby talent will compete against national representative teams from Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and Argentina in next month's 2014 IRB Pacific Rugby Cup (PRC) to be held over five weeks across Australia.
Teams from 24 centres across Australia - from Cairns to Perth - have been selected to compete in the inaugural Junior Gold Cup, a national youth championships for Under 15 and Under 17 boys culminating in finals in April next year.
The final match for the Macquarie Bank Australian Schools team on the tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland was against Munster Under 18s. The game was played at the impressive home of Munster Rugby, Thomond Park in Limerick.

On Tuesday, the Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles lost a pair of softball games to Pampa and Amarillo San Jacinto in Pampa.
In their first game of the day, the Lady Eagles and San Jacinto were tied 2-2 until San Jacinto scored a run in the bottom of the fifth inning to give them the 2-3 win.
In the second game, the Lady Eagles started the game strong by scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. But the Lady Harvesters responded by scoring 12 runs in the bottom of the first inning on their way to the 2-15 win.

I was curious if anyone had a useful link regarding this year's free agent class. For instance, if the Orioles make a qualifying offer of one year to Scott Feldman. Will they receive a pick in the sandwich round in next year's draft?
I know it's going to be interesting in regards to contracts this offseason. The team is going to need to do some juggling. As well as make some tough choices.

WELLINGTON - Charles Vincent Bradshaw, age 83, returned to his Heavenly Home on Dec. 21, 2011, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
Charles was born to Charles and Constance Bitton Bradshaw on Nov. 20, 1928, in Snoqualmie Falls, Wash. Shortly thereafter he moved to his lifelong home of Wellington. He loved Wellington so much that he lived there the rest of his life. He met Phyllis Burnett in the second grade, and they were later married on May 19, 1948, in the Manti Temple. His main priority in life was his family. We enjoyed countless camping trips, parties, and other outings with Dad. Singing together was one of our favorite activities.
He served in the U.S. Navy in Hawaii, served a term on the Wellington City Council, and earned his Associates degree at CEU. Dad's beautiful singing voice will be greatly missed. He sang at numerous weddings, funerals, community and church functions. He was once offered a chance to sing with a USO tour group.
He had many creative talents, including building unique bikes that were often ridden by grandchildren in Wellington Pioneer Day parades. His home is filled with many of his sculpting and welding creations. A wall in his home was adorned with sculpted faces of his wife, children, grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren. A metal rocker and glider are still in use in front of the Price City Library. The family is pleased to have in their possession a book of his creative poetry, original songs and his Diary in Verse.
Charles was the manager at Deseret Industries for many years and also worked at the Safeway grocery store in Price. He worked hard his entire life to provide for his family, and whistled while he worked.
He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings including Bishop, Stake President, and Stake Patriarch. Charles and Phyllis served a mission in the Calgary, Canada Mission in 1992-93.
Charles is survived by Phyllis, his wife of 63 years, his children: Mike (Ruth), Jerry (Diana), Tim (Cara), Alisa (Bill) Bates, and Dale (Jana), two brothers: Dennis and Ted (Kay), and sister, Myrna (Corky) Wall, 25 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Lorelei Bradshaw; granddaughter Emily Bates; parents, Charles and Constance Bitton Bradshaw; brothers, Cyril and Vernon, and sister Pat Makin.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 11 a.m. at the Wellington 1st/4th Ward building located at 47 N. 100 E. A viewing will be held on Monday, Dec. 26, from 6 - 8 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary. An additional viewing will be held prior to the funeral on Tuesday morning from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. at the chapel. Interment will be at the Wellington City Cemetery. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Charles at www.fausettmortuary.com.
The family would like to thank Dr. Sterling Potter, CNS Hospice, and the staff at Pinnacle Care Center for the tender care of our dear husband, father and grandfather.

Submission Internet Defense League - Bat Signal for the Internet->
mikejuk writes: Following the successful defence of the Internet agains SOPA website owners are being invited to sign up to a project that will enable them to participate in future protest campaigns. The banner logo for the "bat-signal" site is a cat a reference to Ethan Zuckerman's cute cat theory of digital activism The idea is that sites would respond to the call to "defend the Internet" by joining a group blackout or getting users to sign petitions.

CAPE VINCENT The all-volunteer economic development group that made possible the $2 million Roxy Hotel restoration and aided boat manufacturer MetalCraft Marines move to Cape Vincent could dissolve in the near future because of burdensome state requirements, among other reasons, according to members.
In a dissolution proposal to town and village officials, Cape Vincent Local Development Corp. members suggest creating a joint development committee under the municipalities to replace the corporation.
Glen A. Kennedy, chairman of the LDCs investment committee, said state requirements under the Public Authorities Accountability Act would force the agency, which writes only a handful of checks each year, to spend more than $2,000 annually on auditing services for the sake of transparency.
Longtime members also are feeling burned out by the workload and believe a committee with a paid director of development position would work better for the community, he said.
Under the proposal, the new committee would have representatives from both the town and village boards and volunteer members acting as advisers to facilitate the communitys growth within the guidelines of Cape Vincents Comprehensive Plan for development.
The committee also could include representatives from local businesses, Jefferson County and groups such as the Cape Vincent Improvement League.
Unlike the nine-member LDC, which has subcommittees of its own, this new joint committee would answer to the town and village boards and either make recommendations or work within a budget set by the municipal entities.
The part- or full-time development director would take direction from the development committee board.
Mr. Kennedy said the proposal is preliminary and many details still have to be hammered out based on feedback from the town and village governments.
Cape Vincent Local Development Corp. most recently secured a $200,000 state Homes and Community Renewal grant to support the renovation of the old bait shop building on Club Street next to the ferry docks.

Waiting for:
Blade and Soul NA
Everquest Next
there is a character wipe after ob correct?
I mean i know its my own frustration here that will get the better of me, but so far - the game is an entire fail to the mmo industry....
So far, i had a reallly old good standard account through ncsoft + wildstar (But ncsoft, being one of the most pathetic companies out there) - are seriously ****ing shit up now.
I participated in the first closed beta, without issues (Other that poor fps + performance), which was fine and acceptable.
But now?
Cant login - cant reset password, password recovery doesnt work - sent ticket in hours ago, cant register new email - cant make new password on email, finally got new account made, but wont log into open beta servers - keeps giving me (Network error: connection closed "ip+port")
This game HAD great potential, and so far just isnt delivering to the plate....
The optimization has been a day 1 issue - and is still shitty as ever.
Theres so many placeholders etc *And yes, i realize its OPEN BETA*....
So far, this has just been one disaster to the next for me, and i had extremely high hopes for the game.
But NCsoft/carbine are going to destroy it, and within a few months, the server will have a based fanboi community - slowly wither away into the backlogs of every other disappointing mmo out there that had potential, but was failed by its creator+publishers.
Been trying for 2hours to try get my old account back, nojoy.
Cant post on the new forums because i dont have an account...
Cant post on the forums with new account, because its too new and wont let you post.
LOL what an absolutely disgrace of a setup + company.
/rant over
when i got my account banned for nothing, i sent a ticket to carbine (not ncsoft, they suck) and they fixed it within a few hours without asking for identity etc.
also that login error is purely your router/firewall/pc's fault.
Last edited by Professor Cena; 05-08-2014 at 02:47 PM.
And so far, you seem to be the only one whos has any kind of praise + positive feedback on the regards to how its being handled, as most of us on the technical forum, experience the same issues, but that aside.
I finally sorted it, got it working (And can assure you, wasnt my end, was theres), but either way, optimization is still diabolical, 13 fps, 35 with low res.
Weill wait for more optimization.
I hadn't played since one of the earlier weekend betas, so this is a definite step up for me. Got a little account issue fixed in a couple hours, got in and have my fps at 40 for once. Yay Wildstar. <3
I'm.......extremely unimpressed. I don't know, what killed it for me I think was the character customization. It's just horrid as all hell. Extremely limited, hell I've played F2P games with better customization. Everything just feels so.......bland.
The visuals really aren't very impressive either.
I guess if I had to say a positive is........I guess I like the aurin run animation...and the humor is all right?
I don't know, I'm just not seeing a subscription fee here. More power to you all if you like it, I just don't.
Is there a key giveaway where i can get one ? I wanna try it before it goes P2p then il just quit and wait till they make it free .
Thank you for the key Elegance

interesting video, while it appears at times, there are birds caught up in the vortex at the tail of the aircraft.
Awsome video!
WOW! Lookit them wings deflect! Who's drivin'? Must be an 'ol J-3 Pilot!
Love 787
After watching the video, I have even more respect for the test pilots, they are amazing, to be able to calculate the amount of drift due to cross wind, and land on the runway, it is just simply incredible. Good looking bird, the 787!!
Looks more like a wind monitoring device on the tail my friend, not a bird.
@pipercgvgv There are birds from 2:09 to 2:12 in the 787 video.
I'm sorry I think the 787 is ugly. It looks like a turkey vulture. Piloting skills are super though.
The birds from 2:09 to 2:12 are not what Rob is talking about ,they are much closer. I believe he is talking about the object attached to the tail, which is as I mentioned a vortex monitoring device that monitors relative air flow.
Good piloting skills but I have landed in much more severe cross winds. At times I felt like I was landing in a 90 degree configuration to the runway. That was in a 727 stretch.
I like a lot B 787
@coinrap: I'm with you.
This is good video. The aircraft however is not flying sideways as it is always flying straight! You do not slip these large aircraft, but merely fly in a crab and kick it out in the flair. This is much easier if you have the crosswind on your side of the plane! Maybe the pilot was flying from the right seat.
Yes, it is flying straight, however it is being blown sideways, just like a boat would be carried sideways in a river, it one were to row straight across.
Have to agree the 380 is ugly too!, but it is BIG!!! Making it BIG & UGLY....
Would that make it BUGLY? BIGLY?
Wonderfull flight and very nice aircraft (sorry)
I see there are some Airbus employees in this forum.
Great Piloting. I agree with some of the others though the 787 is not the best looking plane Boeing has ever turned out. The nose reminds me of the old Comet or Convair aircraft. Maybe Boeing can change the windscreen configuration to give the 787 a more Boeing look the plane would look better.
All aircraft are gorgeous to me. And the videos were fascinating. Such skill!
Bugly is "Butt Ugly" and it's not Butt Ugly just Vulture Ugly or "VUGLY". The Airbus is FUGLY which is "Fat & Ugly". I would be disappointed to know a computer was landing those planes.
Simply mahvelous...love the 78...the A380 looks like a super guppy.
Next time try a real stiff turbulent crosswind in Hong Kong. That'll pucker you up fast.
Nice landing though, smooth and rattle free. Did you notice the flex in the horizontal stabilizer?
How the aricraft looks is not the issue, it's how much money can it make?
Some people fly to live, others live to fly. I wouldn't want to fly an ugly plane, but I don't have to....
Having watching a number of them land and take off at Boeing Field, I am impressed with the Dreamliner! Most graceful bird in the sky! As for the cross wind landingds, keep in mind that half or more were automated, to make things even more fun. At least that I what I read somewhere.

Great video! That wing flex is amazing - touching/dragging a wing tip in gusty crosswind conditions will not be much of a consideration with this airplane.(!)
I wonder how much stability is added with that kind of dihedral being added by the wings flexing?
I think wing flex is a good situation and does add some stability to the aircraft in high cross winds. Plus it may act like a shock absorber in side gusts. I'm not an areonautical engineer but it logically makes sense to me. What do you thik?
Interesting thought - wing flex as a shock absorber? I don't know. The heavier aircraft usually `ride' better in gusty conditions - more mass, therefore less acceleration for the force applied. It would be interesting to compare the 787 to another aircraft landing in the same conditions at around the same weight and at the same percentage of the max landing weight.
Recent testing of the wings on the 787 were flexed upward "approximately 25 feet" which equates to 150 percent of the most extreme forces the airplane is ever expected to encounter during normal operation. I think these numbers far exceed the operating requirements. So, the next time you fly in a 787 I think you'll find the ride (turbulance) and cross winds handling will be improved.

Extreme Machines: Riding a Monster Snow Groomer
Tyrol, Austria
Background: The medieval downtown isn't just quaint in appearance: the two main streets are still largely made up of walls and cobblestone alleys built over 700 years ago, which explains why the town center is largely car-free. And while Kitzbuhel sits at a relatively low elevation, it is top-of-the-heap in a country filled with top-tier ski resorts. A giant ski region that connects seven separate ski areas with a single pass, you have access to 359 gondolas and lifts and more than 1081 trails. Tyrol mayor Franz Reisch imported the first pair of skis here in 1892 and the winter sports resort was born.
Why It's Unique: Kitzbuhel hosts the Hahnenkamm downhill, an annual race that attracts more than 60,000 international spectators. So steep in certain sections that it cannot be groomed by machine (Austrian soldiers stomp the surface with their boots). A slope called the Streif is also dowsed with water to level it out before the Hahnenkamm. It is the most feared downhill on the World Cup circuit, with a starting-gate drop of 5462 feet leading to the infamous Mausefall jump. The Streif has unsurprisingly been the site of many career-ending falls since the race began in 1931. Lucky for you, with the exception of Hahnenkamm weekend, the course is open to the public, though challenging weather often prevents it from opening completely.
Mount Hermon straddles one of the world's most infamously contested borders. On one side of the mountain is Israel, and on the other side are Syria and Lebanon. Israel took part of the southern slope, the Golan Heights, during the Six Day War, in 1967. Syria recaptured it on Oct. 6, 1973, the first day of the Yom Kippur War. Israel took it back two weeks later and has held it since.
Mount Hermon reaches 9232 feet, but its peak is actually located on the border between Lebanon and Syria. The Hermon Ski Resort is in Israel's Golan Heights.
Why It's Unique:
As you drive up to it through the Golan Heights, you pass blocked-off mine fields. The mountain is dubbed the Eyes of the Nation for the view it gives deep into Syria. The Israeli Defense Forces maintain an observation post there, patrolled by the specially trained Alpine Unit. The military base is visible from the ski area, and certain sections of the mountain are restricted to IDF use.
Skiing at Hermon offers an unusual link to the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the Bible it is referred to as Ba'al Hermon, Sion, Sirion and Senir. The Gospels say that Caesarea Philippi is located at its base, and the mountain is also thought to be the site of the Transfiguration.

Watch Locked Up Abroad
Locked Up Abroad is a television show that airs on the National Geographic Channel. It premiered in the UK in 2006 under the named "Banged Up Abroad," though this has been changed in the United States to the more accessible American English title. Although the show is largely a reality/documentary program, it also features extensive dramatized action to retell the story that is being covered in a particular episode. Each episode also includes commentary from the individuals that were involved in the incidents being portrayed, and focuses upon the events leading up to them being incarcerated. It also profiles their time in prison and the circumstances under which they were released.
The show, as its name implies, features the stories of those who have been incarcerated in foreign countries. The countries are invariably third world or developing, therefore providing for a particularly shocking prison experience. Because of the nature of the countries holding them, the profiled individuals often face exorbitant sentences and usually have a difficult time contacting their country's embassy for aid. Therefore, they are generally left to survive on their own. Most of those featured on Locked Up Abroad are British or American citizens.
Most episodes involve charges of drug smuggling. Generally, the subject of the episode is arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs into or out of a particular country. They are often lured into the scheme via a thinly-veiled cover story, although in some cases they are fully aware of what they are doing. Certain episodes have focused on semi-professional and prolific drug smugglers. In other cases, the episode profiles the kidnapping of a traveler by terrorist or rebel groups, or Western tourists or journalists being falsely accused of various crimes.

First-of-its kind legislation proposed by the state Attorney Generals Office could ban certain shampoos, facial scrubs and toothpastes in the state in order to reduce the number of small plastic pieces going into the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River.
Researchers like Sherri A. Mason, an associate professor of chemistry at SUNY Fredonia, say the millimeter-sized plastic pieces, also referred to as microbeads, can cause massive problems across food chains.
Slipping through treatment plants, the plastic can bond with longstanding industrial chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls, poisoning organisms as small as zooplankton, eaten in the thousands by larger aquatic organisms.
It moves up the food chain, Ms. Mason said. With the north countrys fishing industry, she said the plastic pieces could endanger human consumers as well.
The Microbead-Free Waters Act would ban the creation and sale of personal care products containing plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters. If approved, the legislation would make the state the first in the country to ban the inclusion of the microbeads.
From the Great Lakes to the Hudson River to Long Island Sound, our commitment to protecting and restoring New Yorks waters is among our most important responsibilities, said Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman in a statement. New Yorks environmental leadership continues today with the introduction of common-sense legislation that will stop the flow of plastic from ill-designed beauty products into our vital waters, preserving our natural heritage for future generations.
The attorney generals office said the microbeads are found in more than 100 products, replacing natural alternatives like ground walnut shells and sea salt.
These products, they dont need to exist, Ms. Mason said. Itd be different if you made some product where there is no alternative. There are alternatives.
Consumers can determine if their products have the microbeads by looking for ingredients like polyethylene or polypropylene.
Ms. Mason said the plastic pollution has been researched extensively in ocean bodies, but in the past few years the research has moved to freshwater systems like the Great Lakes. Recently, the professor and other researchers did some initial sampling on the St. Lawrence Seaway, and found contamination levels similar to what she uncovered in Lake Erie.
We are seeing impacts here, said Stephanie G. Weiss, assistant director of Save the River, based in Clayton. Ms. Weiss said the group supported the legislation, given the plastic levels found in the river.
Thats obviously a situation that causes real concern, she said.
Despite her support of the microbead ban, Ms. Mason indicated the difficulty in stopping the microbead contamination. One reason for that, she said, is the long lifespan of the plastic.
Were contaminating something thats absolutely necessary for life with something that could stay there for 500 years, Ms. Mason said. That doesnt seem logical.

DEPEW, N.Y.-Depew outscored Amherst 8-5 Tuesday afternoon in a baseball game at Depew.
Amherst jumped out to the early 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Depew scored three in their half of the inning to lead 3-1 after one. Amherst tied it with two in the third inning. The Wildcats put the game away with four runs in the fourth inning.
Justin Crawley got the win for Depew. He gave up all five runs in six innings of work. He struck out seven and walked two. At the plate Crawley was 2 for 4 with a run batted in and he scored two runs. Sean Driscoll pitched the seventh inning to earn the save. Driscoll was two for four with a run scored and he drove in two runs.
Depew is 6-6 overall and 5-6 in the division. Head coach Robert Parry told Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar "we finally put together all three aspects of our game. Offense, defense and pitching. We're on a roll and hopefully we can carry that into the playoffs."
For Amherst Jonah Heim was two for three with a run scored. Matt Connolly was two for four with a double, a run batted in and a run scored. Connolly started and took the loss for Amherst.
Amherst coach Brian Davis told Stu "it was a disappointing, a disappointing performance. We got up and excited at the end of the game. We've been preaching to the guys that you have to come out ready. We gave them too many extra outs and that was the difference in the ball game. We showed a lack of competitiveness and we're not a good enough team to just flip on that switch."
Amherst is 9-6 overall and 7-5 in the division.

Two new boilers for the Price city swimming pool were lowered into their new home Monday morning by city crews. Since last September, pool personnel have limped along with failing boilers. Price City council voted after the failure to purchase the new units even though they were not budgeted.
The city did apply and receive $100,000 from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board to cover the costs of purchasing the boiler. It is expected that the new boilers will be up and running by the end of March.

RETRO VIDEO — Denis Potvin Breaks Bobby Orr's Goal Scoring Record
Since we had mentioned Dennis Potvin the other day, this seems like as good a time as any to follow up with this video. On January 28, 1986, Potvin scored in the Islanders 9-2 rout of the Maple Leafs at the Coliseum, breaking Orr's record for goals scored by a defenseman.
Nearly a month earlier, on December 25, 1985, Potvin broke Orr's record for points by a defender. He currently sits in 5th on the all-time goals list and 7th in points, behind many of the great defenders of the 80s and 90s such as Ray Bourque, the all-time leader in both categories, Paul Coffey and Al MacInnis. However, Orr and Potvin are still impressively first and seond on the list of goals per game, scoring their goals at an impressive pace.
For some extra lockout reading material, you can flashback to 1988 and CB's interview with Orr about Potvin:
When he announced his retirement shortly before the start of the 1987-88 season, Potvin was asked by a reporter if he thought he was better than Orr. In a burst of spontaneous pride, he answered, "Yes, I think so."

That's what it is, a 1940's/50's Vintage Rustic Cottage Industry Crafts Ball Sculpture Puzzle. I've seen these retail for as much as $180.00, but sell for far less at auction. I've no information on the company.

Ten of Our All-Time Favorite Book Covers
If you couldn't tell from the name of our company, we're a teensy bit book-obsessed at Bookbyte. And despite how the old saying goes, we're always judging books by their covers.
Some of you might not know this, but over at Bookbyte Digital we help self-publishing authors turn their manuscripts into books and ebooks through editing; formatting; distribution on Amazon, Apple, and Barnes & Noble; and, of course, good cover design. Sometimes authors give us their own covers and sometimes they ask us to design one for them, but one thing is always true: Good covers sell books.

Over the past few years, Yaoundé has transformed itself from a peaceful, sleepy colonial settlement to a friendly, lively city with a lot of sights and local markets.
Yaoundé, which is the capital of Cameroon, has a population of about 1 million. The city is situated in the hilly western part of Cameroon, about 160 kilometres from the Atlantic.
Essential sights include the "Centre Artisinal", which is a covered marketplace where local artists sell their masterpieces, the Benedictine Monastery with the Museum of Cameroon Art and, in the west of Yaoundé, the Museum of Black Art.
To have a nice meal or paint the town red, you should visit the Messa, Mokola and Briqueterie districts in the north of the city.

Just this second got off the phone with Sue Bourne. Who? Well, she has just released a brilliant documentary about the 2010 Irish World Dancing Championships, which were held in Glasgow. It is stunning. The filming and editing is Academy Award material. During the championships, they had 20 cameras at work at the competition. It follows a few individual competitors of the 6,000 entrants. That's right. 6,000. The film wisely bypasses all the controversial aspects of Irish dancing, and focuses on the achievements of the dancers and their families. Currently looking for a distribution deal, by the time you read this, the film will have already had its Chicago debut at the Beverly Arts Center. If you don't get a chance to see it in a theatre, watch for the eventual dvd. Stunning. The name is Jig. Google it. It was made with grants from the Scottish government. Fascinating and compelling. Best thing I've seen in ages.

Spring/summer has finally arrived in the States! By, "The States" I, of course, mean Chicago. Annual Gaelic Park Irish Festival was held the weekend of May 28th. In true Chicago fashion, the weather was dreadful. Let's see, Liz Carroll on fiddle and John Shine on guitar were there. The Four Courts were on hand in the tidal monsoons. This is a powerhouse throw-together group formed here in Chicago by Jimmy Keane. How's this sound? Jimmy Keane (Male Musician of the Decade) on accordion, Paddy Homan (Male Singer of the Decade) on vocals, the incomparable Maurice Lennon on fiddle---Maurice was one of the founders of the iconic Stockton's Wing and a brill young keyboardist, Cormac McCarthy from Cork with Jimmy Moore from Kilkenny on guitar. Wow!

New album just out from the wonderful box player, Luke Daniels. Entitled, TheMighty Box. As we get a chance to hear the whole thing, we'll review here, and tell you if it is worth your money and love! Being Luke, it probably is!

As I am writing you this, I am listening to Copperplate Podcast 39 from Alan O'Leary. Best podcast on the net for trad music. Right now he is playing Sean Tyrrell, Ronan Browne and Kevin Glackin with their new album, And The Story Goes. Sounds brill! Just Google Copperplate, and sign up for the podcast. The best. Did we already say that? Geez, we love Sean Tyrrell. Was at a massive session years ago with Ronan Browne at The Falls Hotel in Claire. Great memories! Review coming, obviously.

Speaking of Copperplate, they are representing the fantastic, Oonagh Derby and her brand new album, Harmony Street. Full review coming next month. Suffice it to say that this Armagh young woman is a stunner of an alto singer. It is available through the Copperplate site, and we're sure you could also get it from her directly, as well as th usual outlets such as cdbaby and Claddagh. Google. We may well be listening to Newcomer of the Year!

If you have not, find The Brock McGuire Band's Green Grass Blue Grass. Go to the site. We reviewed it last month, and are still playing it regularly. Also, it has been a hit on Ireland Tonight, our American Public Broadcasting show each Monday evening! www.wdcb.org will get you there. 8:00 Chicago time. Co-host Maryann Keifer and Producer, Imelda Heinze, keep everything on the straight and narrow. Or, they try to.

Trad music is in a downturn in America and Ireland. All the energy being sucked up in Ireland by country and western. It is odd. There are more and more students for the music, and less and less people showing up for concerts. Album sales are, in general, awful. Big name acts such as De Dannan with Frankie Gavin had terrible audience numbers at Chicago's number one venue, The Irish American Heritage Center recently on a Saturday night, of all things! We have written extensively on this, and will again soon. Trad popularity ebbs and flows, but is always there.

Great tribute to the late, great box player, Raymond Roland in London at the end of May. Sixty musicians joined in!! Everyone reporting it was one of those great nights! He, himself, was one of the greats. Apparently, it was recorded and will soon be on RTE Raidio na Gealtachta.

Irishfest in Milwaukee has a fab, fab lineup this summer, set for August. Check it out! Loads for the true trad lover. More on this later. We're going to have founder, Ed Ward on the Chicago radio show before the Fest. Legendary.

On of trad's biggest losses has been Reeltime. Riverdance grabbed all the group's players in various forms, and then life moved on. We consider them the best vocal/instrumental group of all time in trad. They recorded two iconic albums on Green Linnet. Mairin Fahy on fiddle and vocals with Chris Kelly on guitar were the best of the best. Stunning. Well, they are still around in Galway, and performing the highly popular Trad on the Prom. It is their show, and has been packing them in for years. If you are anywhere near Galway, get to it. You will love it. Love it. Love it.

LiveIreland founder and major domo, David Lattimer is just back in the door from his family's holiday in Greece. Greece. Great country, lousy wine.

The best radio program in Chicago for the music is Feast of Irish Folk from The University of Chicago. Every Monday from 5-6:30. Tune in. Then take a break for 90 minutes, and tune in out show at 8! Erik Carlson and Mary Caraway are the hosts. They have been carrying the banner for trad here in Chicago for decades now! No one more loved or respected in Chicago. www.whpk.org

There is an event in Chicago, IBAM. Really, it is the brainchild of Chicago Irish American News publisher, Cliff Carlson. Big stuff coming at the next one, and we will be telling you all about it. Think of it as an indoor Milwaukee Irish fest.

Most Irish musicians are terrible businessmen and businesswomen. Almost all of them don't realize it. There ARE a couple who stand out as musicians and business people. The aforementioned Jimmy Keane comes to mind. There are a few others. Damn few. We leave the panicked running around and constant burrowing in Irish music to the lessers in the field. They know who they are. After 25 years, the one thing I know is that the ONLY thing that matters is the music. The rest of it all is nonsense. Hangers on. Wannabes. Music groupies. Cool cat types. Know nothing of the music, but there they are. So desperate to be part of it. Don't confuse the music with the poseurs. The music. First. Last. Always. All there is and all there needs to be!!

Dew Claw
Anyone know the origin of the term 'dew claw' in referring to the extra claw on a dog's leg?
Sort by
According to the (online) 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, "The origin of the word is unknown, but it has been fancifully suggested that, while the other toes touch the ground in walking, the dew-claw merely brushes the dew from the grass."
Other sources say it's unknown, but may be from "toe."
Knowing the practical nature of the ancients in coming up with words for things, I looked up the derivation of "thumb" on a hunch and found the Indo-european root "teu-" so maybe I'm on to something.

The Obama administration has unveiled a new round of fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, which are expected to require mileage gains of nearly double the current figure. The new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards will last through the year 2025.
The proposal mandates that all passenger vehicles sold in 2025 average approximately 55 miles per gallon. CNN explains, "They'd ramp up to that level over seven years, starting in 2017 when current rules end."
By contrast, the current standards for all 2011 cars and trucks mandate that vehicles average 27.3 mpg. By 2017, they will have to reach 34.1 mpg.

Xander Vento was only four years old when he saved a 3-year-old friend from drowning. Sadly, Xander – who was named "Most Loving" at his preschool – took in a large amount of water while helping his friend and died four days later. Xander's parents carried on his legacy of caring by donating his organs to help another child in need.
When Rachel Beckwith was eight, she learned that millions of children die due to lack of access to clean drinking water. She decided to celebrate her ninth birthday by asking, in lieu of gifts for herself, for donations to fund fresh water programs. Tragically, a month and a half after her birthday, Rachel was killed in a car crash. Friends and strangers alike came together to donate in her name, and her fresh water fundraiser has brought in more than $1.2 million, giving water access to tens of thousands of needy people.
Jefferson Thomas was a teenager in 1957 when he became one of the Little Rock Nine – the brave students who were the first to integrate Little Rock's Central High School. Jefferson and his fellow African-American students were blocked by the Arkansas National Guard and suffered awful treatment from classmates and neighbors as they – along with other African-American students who were the first to integrate their schools – paved the way for a more equal nation.
Alexandra Scott began battling cancer before she had even lived a year. When she was four, she told her parents she wanted to have a lemonade stand and donate the proceeds to benefit childhood cancer research. Alex's first lemonade stand raised $2000. She continued the tradition and inspired others to do the same. When Alex died at age eight, more than $1 million had been raised by lemonade stands staffed or inspired by her. The Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation carries on the mission, and it has raised more than $60 million to help kids like Alex.
Iqbal Masih was only four years old when he was sold into slavery, where he was forced to work at a carpet factory for punishingly long hours every day. After years of labor, he escaped and joined the Bonded Labour Liberation Front, an organization that seeks to free other children like Iqbal. Before his death at age 11, he became a powerful advocate for children working in horrific conditions.
Mattie Stepanek became famous for his bestselling poetry, in particular the collection Heartsongs. He also worked for world peace while fighting a rare form of muscular dystrophy. After Mattie's death in 2004, fellow peace activist and former president Jimmy Carter gave a moving eulogy in honor of his friend:
Mattie said he wanted to be, as an ultimate goal in his life, an ambassador of humanity and a daddy…. He wanted to leave a human legacy and family descendents, but Mattie's legacy, obviously, is much greater than that….
"I want to be a poet, a peacemaker and a philosopher who played."…
Mattie's legacy is forever because his Heartsongs will resonate in the hearts of people forever.
Jessica Joy Rees worked to bring light into the lives of children struggling with serious illnesses, even as she fought to survive an inoperable brain tumor. She created Joy Jars, jars filled with new toys and activities, that were delivered to children who needed a lift while in the hospital. Since Jessica's death at age 12, the NEGU Foundation – named for her motivational acronym for Never, Ever Give Up – has worked to raise awareness of children's illnesses and motivate sick children to stay strong and positive.
And of course, there was Anne Frank, who has inspired generations with her account of life in hiding from the Nazis during World War II. When she wrote her diary, sharing her hopes and fears as well as the day-to-day logistics of living life while hidden, it's unlikely she had any idea how much she would impact the world.
The same goes for all the children we've profiled today, and the thousands who marched in Birmingham in 1963. Whether protesting injustice, raising money to help others, or telling a story that needed to be told, they simply did what they knew to be right. And along the way, they touched the entire world.
