Q&A: MetsBlog talks with Josh Thole about his defense
Last week, MetsBlog.com's Michael Baron spoke with Josh Thole:
[jbox color="blue"]
Michael Baron: This winter, you worked extensively on your defense.
Josh Thole: I went down to Dallas to work with our minor league catching coordinator. He knows me, and I have trust him. I emphasized my stance – both with men on base and nobody on base. In watching film from last year, it was the part of the puzzle I was missing; the inconsistency with my stances. I don't know why I did that. But I noticed sometimes I was on a knee, sometimes I was crouched down – everything wasn't flowing right. I spent a couple of weeks with him and getting my stance online.
Michael Baron: Would you get distracted in-game about your fundamental issues, or did this just evolve and you never noticed it?
Josh Thole: I watched hours of film and really never pinpointed it last year. I broke it down from square one. I don't think I thought about my mechanics. I was just going out there to try and catch the ball.
Michael Baron: Could some of those struggles be attributed to having to catch R.A. Dickey's knuckleball?
Josh Thole: I don't think that was the issue – I caught R.A. the year before and had no problems. That would be an invalid and poor excuse as to why it became an issue. I had a chance to talk with Doug Mirabelli when he caught Tim Wakefield last year, and the one thing he said was 'you're going to lead the league in passed balls.' Now all of a sudden I have 16 passed balls, and now I'm not a good catcher. That's how I got labeled, and I have to do a better job of catching R.A. if I want to get rid of that label.
Michael Baron: Do you pay attention to your statistics?
Josh Thole: You just go out there and play, but when you're answering the same questions day in and day out, all of a sudden you have seven passed balls and it's May, eight and it's June, and then there's a week left in the season and they say 'you're going to lead the league in passed balls' – I knew that coming in, that's part of what I signed up for. I know I ended with 16 but I don't know what the ratio was with R.A.. But the ones I didn't have with R.A. are the ones I have to clean up.
Michael Baron: What are some of the areas you are looking to improve and refine offensively this season?
Josh Thole: Reality is reality – I am a base hit hitter, and I need to get back to doing that. I'm a guy that gets on base, so I need to work the count, get base hits, and walk. I personally feel like that's what I have to get better at. I spent the first two months of last season trying to hit doubles and home runs and it didn't really pay off. Then, come the end of May into June, I changed my approach and it paid dividends. I thought I got myself going again, got my base hits, and a home run or two.
Michael Baron: When it comes to preparation and making adjustments, is there anything fundamentally that you do, or is it reverting to your original mental approach?
Josh Thole: Defensively, yeah it's physical. I have the basis of what I do – how I throw guys out, how I block. But as far as starting over, yeah it was starting from scratch with my stance and saying 'this is the position I need to be in.' Offensively, I looked at film from 2009 and 2010 and I was hitting the ball the other way, reacting to balls inside, and I shouldn't have gotten away from that. So I have been trying to get back to that.
Michael Baron: Have you always choked up a lot?
Josh Thole: I started in 2008 when I was in the Florida State League. Tim Teufel was my manager then, and I was getting all my hits with two strikes after choking up and he said 'why don't you do this all the time?' It took off from there.

Michael Cox is a writer and the man behind Zonal Marking, the tactics nerd utopia of soccer content. For years, ZM's straight-to-the-point style has illuminated the tactical sub-matter of important matches and identified the trends dictating soccer set-ups around the world.
We went back and forth on the 4-1-4-1 formation, national trends, and MLS's best tactical role model.
Ben Schuman-Stoler: The Fire have experimented this year with a 4-1-4-1 formation, which has morphed in certain times into the more familiar 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1, and 4-2-3-1 set ups. Can you say a little bit about the 4-1-4-1 in general? What are its weaknesses and strengths? Are there any teams in recent memory you can recall employing it consistently?
Michael Cox: The 4-1-4-1 isn't particularly fashionable, but part of this is because managers will always call it a 4-3-3 - a 4-3-3 is basically a 4-1-4-1 when it's without the ball. But 4-3-3 sounds much more exciting, so you'll rarely get a 4-1-4-1 hailed as a brilliant system.
The major problem is the fact the lone striker can become isolated, although the opportunity to get midfield runners forward means this shouldn't be too much of a problem if he can drop deep, link play and hold up the ball. That said, the importance of the midfield runners getting forward means the holding player has a huge responsibility without the ball, and can often become overrun at defensive transitions, particularly if the opposition get two players either side of him - he doesn't have the comfort of a partner.
BSS: Is there also anything different a back four (in particular the outside backs) have to keep in mind in a 4-1-4-1 compared to a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1?
MC: I think the major difference is that the full-backs have to be able to track the opposition's winger inside. If you're in a 4-2-3-1 and you're dealing with an opposition 4-2-3-1, your two holding midfielders can deal with (a) the opposition number ten and (b) a David Silva-like character drifting inside. With the 4-1-4-1 he'll become overloaded, so your full-backs have more responsibility to move inside and stop him.
BSS: What are your thoughts regarding national-specific or league-specific tactics? Do they ever develop naturally and therefore uniquely for that country/league? Could the ideas developing in the MLS affect the U.S. National Team, and ever add to their chances of international success? In what way has MLS changed or not changed your understanding or appreciation of American soccer and tactics therein?
MC: This is an interesting question. I think it's generally top-down, to be honest - the national side gets success and influences lots of the domestic sides. The best example is Chile - Bielsa went there before the last World Cup, brought in 3-3-1-3 and heavy pressing, and that trickled down to the domestic sides, particularly Universidad de Chile. Now they all play that way, Chile have an identity, and Uni's old coach Sampoali is now the Chile manager, picking lots of his old players for the national side while simultaneously continuing with the Bielsa approach. I gather something similar has happened in Ghana with 4-2-3-1 and counter-attacking play. Really, I think the best way for the USA to arrive at something similar is for Jurgen Klinsmann to come up with something interesting, which then trickles down. It would be tough for him to accommodate MLS-specific tactics on the world stage against more 'advanced' European approaches.
BSS: I'm curious about the ways in which tactical ideas travel across countries. Recently Manchester City's American project nabbed Jason Kreis from Salt Lake City. He's currently doing 6 months at the Etihad to learn and bring their ideas to the States. What do you think MLS's opportunity is with regards to "market research"? How are tactical ideas developed on their own in certain leagues vs. affected by worldwide trends or coaching lineage?
MC: Hmm, that's such a tough question, you could probably write a whole book about it, to be honest. I think the main thing to consider here is that ideas now travel faster than ever before because of the internet etc, and also because coaches and players travel to different countries more than ever before. The globalization of football in the past 15 years or so means theoretically, there should be less boundaries in this respect.
To me it seems logical for an MLS club to look to the Premier League. American soccer seems quite physical and in a certain sense quite basic tactically, and of the major European leagues the Premier League is probably quite a good fit.
Freddie Christiano has been a Fire fan since the club's inaugural 1998 season and counts Piotr Nowak, Zach Thornton and Sean Johnson as his favorite Fire players of all-time.
Fans spoke loud and clear to determine the winning design and Christiano became more than just a fan on Tuesday night as his design, which garnered a majority of the fan vote, was unveiled as the #cf97ThirdKit winner at the club's 16th Anniversary Party at Toyota Park. I caught up with Freddie on Wednesday to get the lowdown on how it felt to see his design become a part of club history.
JC: You probably had a little tension going to the party last night. How did you approach the announcement?
FC: I was really nervous because I was up against quality designs – one being the [light blue] kit that I know a lot of fans really wanted to see and the white one which definitely would have fit in with what the Fire have going on with their home and away kits right now.
JC: So, Logan Pause and Gonzalo Segares lift the drape over the design and you see it's yours… Describe the euphoria.
FC: At that moment I didn't even know what I was thinking. I was super relieved that it was over and that my jersey was up there. It meant a lot because I worked hard on it and knowing that it got chosen against those other two quality designs meant the Fire community really dug it. Playing soccer and following the Fire – when you can't be out on the field as a player, I think this might be the next best thing to be a part of the team forever.
JC: While your design isn't straight up "Municipal Chicago" it does have some more subtle marks to pay homage to the city. One mark is the skyline element on the back of the shirt… Explain it for more clarity.
FC: The stripe on the front was a representation of the Chicago flag colors with the blue and white stripes and when it wraps around it makes a silhouette of the Sears [Willis] Tower.
JC: How much has your phone been buzzing since the announcement?
FC: Friends and family that voted, I got a million text messages from them. A lot of tweets and new followers on my Twitter account, random Facebook friends – it was a cool feeling to get that response from people.
JC: Along with the prize of having your design chosen, you've also won a trip to Portland to see the Fire play the Timbers in 2014, as well as a shopping spree at the adidas store out there. I hear you're getting married in June, what if the game clashes with the wedding date?
FC: I don't really know what I'd choose there! I'm taking my fiancé to Portland with me but if they're on the same weekend, that'd be a tough one. I don't know how that'd work. If it does clash, maybe I'll alternate and go to the All-Star Game instead.
Over the weekend, Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holders began receiving #FIREUP renewal packets in the mail regarding 2014 Season Tickets. Chicago-Fire.com did a Q&A with Vice President of Ticket Sales, Service and Operations Mike Ernst to explain the philosophy behind some of the changes to the club's Season Ticket packages next season.
Chicago-Fire.com: Why is there a reduction from a 20 tickets to 18 tickets in the Season Ticket Holder packages?
Mike Ernst: Having discussed the potential move in the past, there are a couple of reasons we decided to make the switch this year.
First, we have seen over the course of the past several years that the Bonus Games were not always popular with our Season Ticket Holders. When we had a match against a big-name team like Manchester United, people were extremely happy, but if the game(s) were against a perceived lesser opponent, people were not as interested and were less likely to attend.
I think this stems from the fact that the games are exhibitions in nature and often times the regular starters did not play due to the competition calendar.
As a Club, we have tried to do our best to balance making sure the First Team is rested and has a competitive advantage in games that count (MLS Regular Season & U.S. Open Cup) while also putting on exhibitions that attract new, prospective fans.
C-F.com: Does the exclusion of Bonus Matches from this year's season ticket packages mean the Fire won't be hosting international friendlies next year?
ME: Far from it, exhibitions against international opponents will continue to be a focus for our Club going forward and we will give Season Ticket Holders the chance to purchase their tickets for any of these games before the general public. In addition, Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase these tickets at a significant savings off the face value.
These matches give us the opportunity to raise the profile of our Club with the opponent's fan base and the broader general public. The goal of hosting these matches is to attract local fans of another Club to a Fire game with the aim of converting them to supporting their local Club.
It is critical for the continued growth of our Club to recruit new fans and then convert them to Season Ticket Holders over time.
C-F.com: Why has the Club shifted course on U.S. Open Cup games with the offering of the U.S. Open Cup Series Ticket? What does that mean?
ME: The U.S. Open Cup Series ticket will be the 18th game in the season ticket package. That ticket (and parking if applicable) will be good for up to three games if the Fire host the 3rd Round, 4th Round and Quarterfinal at home.
This change is the next step in ownership's commitment to contend for the U.S. Open Cup on an annual basis. In the past, we have and have not included U.S. Open Cup games in our season ticket package. We feel it is important to take this step, so that we give the guys on the field the best possible competitive advantage.
In the event that we do not host a U.S. Open Cup game at home, the Series ticket will be good for exchange to another MLS regular season home match.
C-F.com – What benefits are changing for Season Ticket Holders in 2014?
ME: The Club is committed to providing Fire fans with the best season ticket benefits in Chicago. In 2014, we will continue to offer free parking/$6 parking where applicable, the same exchange program to help you avoid wasting tickets, and a 20% off savings on merchandise at the TOYOTA PARK team store and online. In addition, it is important to note that we are not raising the price of tickets on a per-game basis.
Our goal is to continue to grow the season ticket base, so that we put the Club in a situation to sellout every match at TOYOTA PARK and thereby provide the team on the pitch with a home-field advantage. While that will not happen overnight, we believe that providing all Fire fans with an affordable and flexible season ticket option is critical to achieving our goal.
C-F.com – When can Season Ticket Holders expect to receive tickets for 2014?
We are expecting the 2014 season to begin sometime in early to mid-March, so we are aiming to have Season Tickets out by mid-February. It is important to us to make sure that this process goes as smoothly as possible.
In addition, we are still looking at options on how Season Tickets will be formatted for next year. There will be more information on that in the coming months.

The soccer world was stopped in its tracks Wednesday as legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson announced this season would be his last.
I got the reaction to the news from the Fire's resident United supporters, Patrick Nyarko and Brendan King earlier Wednesday.
Patrick Nyarko…
"I actually heard this morning before training. I had a moment. Then I had a moment to think. It's just sad. I know it's the right time but sometimes as the speculation has kept on going you start to think it's never going to happen. You think he's going to be there until he dies.
"I guess he's made his decision it's just a tough one because he's simply irreplaceable. He's given the club so much and as he said he left the club in the best possible state.
"I'm curious to see who the next manager is going to be. I'm sure whoever it is he'll take after Sir Alex. He can't be him but he can follow the tradition and apply his philosophies to keep the club at a top-level.
"I'd absolutely be alright with the next guy being David Moyes. That guy's demeanor and his success with Everton with a smaller budget make me feel he'd be successful at United. I think he's a player's coach, every player he's had plays hard for him.
"To go to a bigger club like Manchester United, he'll have a lot more flexibility and I think he'd be really successful. I'd vouch for him and I hope the United faithful would be behind him."
Brendan King…
"It's a sad day. I woke up and checked my Twitter – that's how I found out. You knew at some point it had to come to an end.
"It's pretty sad but at the same time it's great to celebrate what he's achieved. I grew up a United fan and he's the only manager I've known there.
"Sir Alex is such an iconic figure around Old Trafford and in the English game and he'll forever be the greatest manager there. It'll be pretty weird to see someone else sitting where he was – I don't know if they'll be chewing gum or not but it'll be sad to see someone else step in."
We got some great news today that Saturday's match vs. Columbus will be carried LIVE and for FREE on MLSsoccer.com as the el Jimador Tequila MLS Stream of the Week.

You've seen Logan Pause and Joel Lindpere preview Sunday's match vs. New York (and if you haven't Click Here to watch it). Now check out the Red Bulls take on the match.
Fire head coach Frank Klopas did his first media round-up of the week on Wednesday. Some choice quotes from this afternoon's session:
On Paolo Tornaghi's experience stepping in for Sean Johnson last season
"He basically came in at that point as a younger third keeper but he won that second position in preseason and the games that he played. We had a veteran guy as our number two, knowing that Sean had Olympic qualifying games, you saw that he was the one that started in the first game in Montreal.
"We have all the confidence in him, he's played well and we know we're going in a situation with World Cup qualifying and Sean being with the national team, its great for him but we have all the confidence in Paolo in moments like this to step in and do a good job because he's very good 'keeper."
On Bakary Soumare's comments regarding his desire for a trade to the Fire
"With the salary cap and what teams want for players, it's not always so easy. I know Baky very well, he spent a long time here and I saw that. It's great when you treat guys in the right way, they feel this is always their team. There's always a lot of implications but you look into every situation for sure."
On the team's outlook to bring in a striker before the summer transfer window
"We're looking at everything. Any opportunity to see if we improve the team we're going to look at it. You might feel there will be need somewhere, players might become available but the needs might be something different. We're looking at all that but also knowing that it's early in the season."
On the personality of Chivas USA coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola
"I don't know the guy. It seems like he has the team on the right track and they're working hard and he's done a good job so far. Other than that, I don't know. He's a competitive guy just like I am."
We're happy to introduce a new video series to Chicago-Fire.com called "Both Sides of the Badge".
This week we talk to Daniel Paladini about his devotion to the club's supporters and ask him to do his best Frank Klopas impression:
If It seems like its Goalkeeper Week here on Chicago-Fire.com, well maybe it is... Sean Johnson is with the U.S. Men's National Team, meaning Paolo Tornaghi is the starter on Sunday, making way for Alec Kann to officially sign with the club on Tuesday in order to back him up.
I got a lot of quotes from goalkeepers (and their coach) the past few days... It'd be a shame if they went to waste so I've included some of the more interesting ones here...
Chicago FIre goalkeeping coach Aron Hyde
On having two returning goalkeepers for the first time since 2009
"Its never easy in MLS with the salary cap to maintain players year-to-year. In previous years we've looked to experienced guys to guide Sean along in his development and this year we didn't need that. We've got a very young goalkeeping group – its probably the youngest in the league. Sean's not a young goalkeeper anymore –he's at nearly 80 games in his career. We don't have any issues there anymore. Obviously he can get a little more continuity in the group and Paolo is a good goalkeeper and is more than capable of stepping in. He didn't let the side down last year and we're positive and optimistic he'll do the same on Sunday."
On Alec Kann's attitude as the third goalkeeper
"He's coming in willing to learn. He has a good attitude, he works hard – you can't fault him for anything there. He's a good guy to work with. He's been good with the other two and you hope he realizes he's here to push and he wants to play as well. He has to be ready."
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi
On communicating with a changing backline
"Its important when everyone steps on the field to have a positive performance. I thought our defensive line was very good on Saturday. We work together every day so to me it doesn't matter who the first 11 are, all the players train and stay focused to be ready for Sunday."

We hear several questions each spring from producers about how best to fix "high-traffic" areas in pastures that have been severely damaged between late fall and early spring. High traffic areas such as feeding areas, sacrifice lots, alleyways, gateways and waterers often are bare and muddy this time of year.

Welcome to Lodole Country House
Lodole Country House is without any doubt one of the most charming and historical B&Bs in Bologna. The house, in fact, is a lovingly restored, 17C country cottage with warm, cosy rooms, a spacious lounge with an open fireplace, raftered ceilings, original stone walls and floor and all the charm of traditional hospitality. Beautifully located on high ground inside the boundaries of the Molino del Pero Golf Club, the house is approximately 25 Km from Bologna, 70 Km from Florence, and just 10 km from the Rioveggio exit on the A1 motorway.
A few years ago Alice and Daniele fell in love with this place and bought what was at the time little more than a ruin. They then renovated and transformed it into an informal yet exclusive Country House with a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere and a friendly welcome offering top quality service. In line with the splendid tradition of real country holidays ("agriturismo") in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany, the Lodole Country House is private, comfortable, very special and right next to all the Molino del Pero Golf Club facilities.

The annual event is a commemoratio of the Eastern European immigants who settled in Carbon County. In addition to entertainment, the festival also features ethnic cuisine, including pastries.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A woman reunites with her husband of 18 years, hours after multiple people were shot and killed at the Navy Yard on Monday morning.
Jacqulind Alston, of Washington, says her husband Ernest Johnson was on the fourth floor of the Navy Yard building.
They both worked at the Navy Yard in building 197, where the shootings happened.
She said she exited the building and had been calling him all morning but did not hear back from him.
"Because they can't have camera phones, and the phones are locked down on the premises, I haven't heard from him and I'm just worried sick," Alston said before being reunited with him.
Alston fought back tears when she talked about Johnson, calling him "the love of my life."
"I'm very concerned about my man, of 18 years," Alston told WUSA9 reporter while she was waiting to hear from her husband.

easyJet is adding extra flights to its Belfast International Airport - Amsterdam schedule due to increasing demand from business and leisure travellers.
The airline currently operates daily flights from Belfast to the Dutch capital. Now, four additional weekly flights have been added which will depart from Belfast International at 09:30 on Mondays and Fridays, and from Amsterdam at 12:25 on the same days. The extra flights will operate from 2 September, with fares from £23.99, one way including taxes.
Ali Gayward, easyJet commercial manager, said: "The Belfast to Amsterdam route has been a great success since we launched it in January 2001. "The city has always been a big attraction for business people and holidaymakers going on short breaks or longer stays, and critically we also experience significant inbound business and tourism traffic on the route from the Netherlands into Northern Ireland. "If the demand continues we will certainly consider adding even more flights on the route at peak times."
Ann McGregor, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce, said: "European markets are very important to the Northern Ireland business community, and an increasing number of people have Amsterdam on their agenda. "We wholeheartedly welcome easyJet's decision to introduce extra morning flights on Mondays and Fridays, which will allow more time to be spent on business activity."
Uel Hoey, business development director at Belfast International Airport, said: "We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with easyJet since it started its Belfast operation with flights to Luton in September 1998. "The extra Amsterdam flights are just one indicator of the success of this relationship. We are particularly glad to give local people the opportunity to do business in Europe, as well as helping to provide a vital airbridge to cultivate business links and draw tourists directly into our region."

I'd like for both of them to stay down another full year and develop in the minors.

"Which phone should I buy?" This is the single most common question readers like you ask phone reviewers like us every day. We get it, it can be a challenge, especially with superb choices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 Plus. But depending on your price range and what's available where you live, the new phone you should be getting may not be a flagship -- it could turn out to be the Nokia Lumia 640 or one of the many Motorola Moto Gs.
On the bright side, options are a good thing, so long as you're armed with the knowledge necessary to make smart shopping decisions. Sit tight as we lay out what you need to know to find the best new device for you.
For more top smartphone picks, check out CNET's list of favorite phones.
Three key phone-shopping essentials
1. Don't be a cheapskate
Contract or no contract, chances are high that once you commit to a new phone, you'll hang onto it for a while. Therefore, buy the best device you can afford. You'll need the camera quality and processor to last you as long as possible until your next upgrade. The battery, too, becomes less efficient at holding a charge as your phone ages, so you'll want to choose one with a high capacity.
An added benefit of going for a high-end handset, say like an iPhone 6 or LG G4, is that the resale value tends to hold over time, so make your device an investment that pays off.
Read: How to sell your phone for cash
2. Know which phone features you want
If you understand exactly which features and capabilities you'd like to see in your new phone, it'll help you avoid paying too much for those you don't want or need. Some, like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, have it all -- including a curved screen with its own interface controls. Yet if you'll never use the new UI, you'll be overspending for a pricey novelty device.
3. Find the right design
Buying a cell phone means entering into a deeply personal relationship with a highly portable physical object. That's why you should think hard about how it's designed, since you and it will be spending plenty of quality time together. Make sure you're comfortable with the way it looks and -- this is important -- feels in your hand, and make sure that your phone-to-be reflects your personal sense of style. This is as true for sleek metal handsets and simple flip phones as it is for rubber-plated rugged handsets.
Cell phone types
At the top of today's handset pecking order is the smartphone. These devices typically have the most power, and top-notch components: the fastest processors and Wi-Fi; the highest image resolution and memory capacity and the most pixel-rich screens. By definition, they run true mobile operating systems; think iOS and Android, but also Windows Phone and (to a much lesser extent) BlackBerry OS. They also support downloadable applications through virtual storefronts that are tied to their associated software platforms, like the Google Play store. Because of all their capabilities, smartphones are usually the most expensive phones on the market.
Messaging or feature phones
One step below smartphones, feature phones strive to offer many of the same capabilities as smartphones. Instead of popular mobile operating systems, these gadgets run proprietary software crafted by their manufacturers, such as Samsung, LG or Kyocera. Many feature phones are made primarily for text messaging and e-mail, though you won't be required to buy a data plan. Several of these designs sport full QWERTY physical keyboards. With a raft of cheap, available Android and Windows Phone devices, feature phones are fewer and farther between.
Basic phones
There are plenty of people who have no interest in viewing full desktop-quality Web pages or running apps on a mobile device. Simply put, they just want a new phone for making calls, and that's it. No funny stuff. Basic handsets are uncomplicated use traditional simple keypads. They typically come in clamshell designs that flip open, or in tall, narrow candy bar form. They're typically lighter and smaller than feature phones and smartphones.
Key consideration points
Screen size
Large screens (5.3 inches or greater)
Smartphones are getting bigger, that part is undeniable. A 5-inch screen (measured diagonally) used to be considered massive, but on today's sliding scale, that's about the middle of the bucket. Even Apple has gotten into the "phablet" game with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. A 6.4-inch device is the largest we've seen, but most people consider the 6-inch Google Nexus 6 and Nokia Lumia 1520 to be about as large as they'd really want to palm. You can find both budget and high-end handsets at the top of the sizing scale.
Medium screens (5.0-5.2 inches)
Phones in this middle category range from midtier to the most premium. They tend to measure exactly 5 inches or just a skosh larger, like the Samsung Galaxy S6 family at 5.1, or the much more entry-level LG Volt 2 at 5. One benefit: phone owners can grip with one hand while their thumbs comfortably reach all portions of the display.
Small screens (4.5-4.9 inches)
Thanks to the increasing number of gargantuan smartphones hitting store shelves, compact cell phones are a shrinking segment of the mobile handset market. That said, some people still place portability highest on their list of phone features. Unfortunately, options are slim. Most phones in this size category are entry-level smartphones or feature phones with low screen resolutions, like the 4.5-inch Motorola Moto E.
For more on specific display technologies, check out the "deeper dive" section at the end of this guide.
The beating heart of any phone is its processor, or CPU. It provides the computing power to churn through various tasks, like opening and running applications. A fast processor also has a big impact on overall performance, such as how smoothly a phone handles flipping through menus and running home screens.
Traditionally, clock speed, listed in gigahertz, has been the quick way to judge CPU power. These days a chip's architecture, specifically how many computing cores it has, is becoming a more reliable predictor. Another factor is that older processors tend to use less efficient designs, making them worse performers while being harder on batteries than their newer counterparts. We talk more about processors below.
A phone's camera quality depends on a whole host of variables. More megapixels will always sound better on a fact sheet, but we know some good 13-megapixel cameras that take better photos than a bad 20-megapixel shooter. (Read on and see the bottom section for more details.)
Also important are the lens quality, which could aid the sensor by exposing it to more light. The sensor itself might also offer a lower pixel count, but be more sensitive to illumination, resulting in better performance in low-light conditions.
Many phones -- such as those from HTC and Microsoft (formerly Nokia) -- ship with fancy image processors that promise high image quality, plus the horsepower to drive the camera and autofocusing systems faster. The end result is nimble shot-to-shot times with minimal shutter lag.
Optical image stabilization is becoming increasingly important for phones, too. Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 and the iPhone 6 Plus are two that include the physical component for steadier, clearer photos.
With the rise of social network sharing, front-facing cameras are more important than ever before. In addition to seeing higher-resolution topside cameras, vendors are also concentrating on more software dedicated to the art of selfies. The HTC Desire Eye and Sony Xperia C3 even come with a flash. We just haven't see these for a while.
Read: Best smartphones for selfies
If your cell phone battery conks out, all the snazzy features in the world won't be able to help you. Manufacturers have begun to recognize the critical importance of battery life and are squeezing greater-capacity batteries into their phones. Typical phone batteries start in the neighborhood of 1,700mAh and go all the way up to 3,500mAh.
Manufacturers list battery performance in terms of talk time, standby time, or how many hours you can expect a device to perform tasks such as playing video and music.
Wireless carriers
Choosing a wireless carrier is a less difficult prospect than it used to be, with more phones sold across carriers and the higher prevalence of contract and contract-free options. Still, it requires a lot of time and math to puzzle out exactly which operator offers you the best deal. It's worth the time.
That said, when selecting a carrier, first on your list of criteria should be coverage. You'll want a carrier with decent coverage in your home and at work, and all the places in between. For more about carriers and networks, see the next section.
Figure out if you'll be sticking to urban centers or trekking through rural areas often. Perhaps you won't even leave your home neighborhood much or, conversely, you plan on doing plenty of international trips. With your wireless usage in mind, settle on a carrier that offers broad coverage. Alternatively, you may be satisfied with a regional carrier that covers a limited area.
Feature deeper dives
Want to know more about some of the features mentioned above? Read on for a deeper analysis.
Mobile networks and 4G data
The wireless network technology at the backbone of your smartphone is a veritable alphabet soup of acronyms and industry buzzwords, and you could spend an eternity studying how cellular infrastructure is built and works. Here's a basic overview of what you need to know.
CDMA stands for code division multiple access, but more importantly it's a method by which cellular radios transmit and receive voice and data. This standard is found mostly in America and to some extent Asian countries such as Japan and Korea. For example, major US carriers that use wireless networks based on CDMA are Verizon and Sprint.
GSM, aka the Global System for Mobile Communications, first referred to in French as Groupe Special Mobile, is a standard created for use in Europe. GSM then spread to other corners of the world, with carriers operating GSM networks across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. It's the most widespread. The two technologies are incompatible, so phones locked to CDMA networks won't work in GSM areas, and vice versa.
Based on the older High-Speed Packet Access, which topped out at 3G speeds, HSPA+ supports a theoretical peak download throughput of 168Mbps. This may sound pretty fast, but in practice the protocol delivers data speeds just marginally faster than 3G, and average download speeds of approximately 3 to 5Mbps. This causes us to think of it as really a 3.5G wireless solution.
4G and LTE
LTE, or Long Term Evolution, is the "new" generation of faster data connectivity for both GSM and CDMA technologies. Often referred to as 4G or 4G LTE, it's the speediest data throughput you can get right now. LTE Advanced, a step beyond LTE (but still part of the same family) gives data speeds still another boost, and is rolling out in bits and pieces. VOLTE, which stands for Voice Over LTE, relays voice service over data channels, allowing you to surf and speak at the same time even if you have a CDMA phone.
Screen technologies
LCD screens, short for liquid crystal display, have come a long way from the alarm clocks and digital wristwatches of the 1980s. Today's smartphone LCD panels offer HD resolutions of up to 2,560x1,440 pixels. LCDs use of an external backlight for illumination, which often results in more shallow viewing angles and lower contrast compared with AMOLED displays. On the other hand, colors often appear more natural.
Retina Display
Apple uses what it calls Retina Displays in its latest iPhones. This is essentially a clever marketing phrase to say the iPhones (the iPhone 4 and up) sports LCD screens with minimum resolutions of 326 pixels per inch (ppi).
Long billed as the screen technology destined to replace LCD, active matrix organic light-emitting diode displays (AMOLED) use organic chemicals as the material that generates light. Much like neon light fixtures and plasma HDTV screens, AMOLED displays use OLEDs to create light when they're exposed to an electric current. Since they don't rely on backlights for illumination, AMOLED screens tend to have higher contrast and more vibrant colors than LCDs. LCDs use liquid crystals that twist shut and block out light from LEDs placed behind them. Samsung is on the forefront of AMOLED panels.
Qualcomm Snapdragon
The current CPU smartphone king, Qualcomm's Snapdragon family of processors shows up in many Android and Windows phones around the world. Right now, the Snapdragon 810 is the chip to beat for the kinds of heady task-processing we see today.
Apple A8
Apple's latest wafer of processing silicon graces the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with 64-bit mobile phone processing. Apple claims the system is 25 percent faster than the A7. All other details remain officially hush-hush.
Samsung Exynos
As well as displays and memory components, Samsung makes its own processors under the Exynos brand. Its most recently announced Exynos chip, the Exynos 7 Octa, promises 64-bit computing, and will surely turn up in some global variations of the company's top phones, like the future Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5. Other Samsung phones will likely continue to use Qualcomm's chipsets.
Motorola X8
Motorola took a unique approach in its smartphone lineup for 2013. Instead of cramming the fastest off-the-shelf CPUs into its phones, it made a hybrid. 2014's haul returned to Qualcomm.
MediaTek is a Qualcomm rival whose chips are typically found in smartphones for Asia and for emerging markets.
Operating system
Each operating system has its pros and cons, depending on what you want.
Apple's iOS has a well-integrated ecosystem, a very full apps marketplace and a fairly intuitive interface, but you're pretty much locked into iTunes for content. If you already have a Mac, an iPad and/or an iPod, it's probably easiest to go with an iPhone.
iPhones have the advantage of receiving the same OS upgrade at the same time, and the newest OS is usually available on multiple devices. We're currently up to iOS 9.
For its part, Android is the most customizable OS and a wonderland for tinkerers. However, most manufacturers and carriers add a specialized twist, which can lead to slower OS updates, and to an interface that may require a little more ramping up to do straight out of the box. On the other hand, phone makers can use that custom layer to add a lot of software features that others just don't have.
The many faces of Android (pictures)
True Android devotees should spring for the latest Google Nexus handset, or a Google Play Edition of a flagship phone. Android 5.1 Lollipop is the latest OS version, with Android M right around the corner.
Windows Phone
Then there's Windows Phone. Microsoft's OS has a simple, appealing interface, and Windows Phone 8.1 helps level the playing field with the Cortana voice assistant and a notifications center. Windows 10 Mobile is launching soon. Power users still may not find it quite as deep or as flexible as Android, and its app ecosystem isn't as robust. Still, solid hardware choices give Windows Phone a lift (especially on the budget end), and it has strong integration with Office and with Microsoft's other services.
BlackBerry, once the premier brand of mobile communication devices, has been in dire straits lately. While many BlackBerry owners in the US have jumped ship and gone with iOS or Android smartphones instead, the struggling company is still releasing phones like the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Leap.
Cutting-edge phone features
Short for "near-field communication," NFC is on almost all smartphones these days, now that Apple finally added it to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. NFC enables fast data exchanges between devices over short distances, just by tapping handsets together. It's essential in payment systems like Google Wallet and Apple Pay, and it can be used to transfer information from device to another, like photos. It's also used to quickly pair phones to Bluetooth devices, like speakers.
Wireless charging
Wireless charging isn't a new capability. Toothbrushes and other household appliances have been performing this trick for years. It's been slow to catch on for phones, however, despite the greater need for constant power on the go. Various standards are in the works to increase its charging power, and some markets benefit from consumer campaigns like wireless charging embedded in tables at coffee shops and soon in furniture. Wireless charging is integrated into the phone or an external case, or can be achieved through a plug-in dongle.
Fingerprint scanning
Apple popularized fingerprint scanning for unlocking the phone, but it's made its way into other smartphones since. With some manufacturers, the feature doesn't always work on the first scan.
Apple was the first to integrate fingerprint scanning with payment authentication, which is part of the feature known as Touch ID. On the iPhone 6 and above, Apple Pay will also use fingerprint scans for real-world payments. This is expanding to other phones as well, through Google's payment services, and through Samsung Pay, which is set to launch in the U.S. and South Korea.
Heart-rate monitor
Go ahead and call health the next frontier, because that's it's a new area that device makers like Apple and Samsung are focusing on. Samsung's Galaxy S5 was the first smartphone to carry an LED heart-rate monitor, and it's present in other Samsung phones like the Note 4 series, Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy S6 family, as well as many Samsung smartwatches. Expect to see more of these crop up in wearables like smartwatches and fitness bands.
Curved screens
Why curve a smartphone screen? Because you can. The Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex were the first, followed by the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and double-sided Galaxy S6 Edge. A more ergonomic feel is one touted benefit, and so is having an immersive viewing angle. Displays like that on the Flex have an added claim: more flexibility can theoretically lead to reduced breakage. Mostly, though, curved screens seem to neither dramatically help or hinder.

Streetfood is not new. In fact, since the existence of streets and the commoditization of food, streetfood has been an integral aspect of daily life for cultures around the world. That being said, it is undeniable that there has been a growing trend in San Francisco and other American cities towards selling a creative array of food – from Korean tacos to crème brulée – prepared on the street.

However, we are not just losing our time, money, and sanity in this parking climate. We are also ...
A paper this week in what is arguably the world's most prestigious scientific journal, Nature, says that the last time the Earth warmed up as much as it will under climate change, sea levels rose about 8 meters. This means that global sea level rise over the coming decades may be about twice as worse as we thought.

Yogi Berra once posited about a restaurant suffering a perceived decline, "Nobody goes there anymore -- it's too crowded." San Francisco parking faces the same dilemma: high parking occupancy and low turnover make parking in San Francisco a headache as drivers are forced waste upwards of 45 minutes orbiting for a space, adding to traffic and burning gasoline.

It's not too late to catch some sessions at the National Conference in Planning History taking place at the Oakland Marriott this weekend.
A climate conference in Oxford concluded last week that whatever we can do to slow carbon emissions, it won't be enough to stop accelerated sea level rise. In fact, a German scientist who's widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts on sea level rise, said his best guess was 1 meter this century (a lowball figure compared to the latest projections for California), and 5 meters in 300 years.
SPUR members toured the Mission Armory, the 200,000 square foot Moorish Castle Reproduction completed in 1914. From it's completion until 1976, the Armory was used as a National Guard facility, and later joined the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the first calculations of the benefits of green roofs are coming back and they're even better than expected: replacing typical roofing materials with plants across a city the size of Detroit would be the equivalent of removing the pollution of 10,000 SUVs in a year.

Installation Guide
Local Navigation
Upgrading the BlackBerry MVS software on a single computer
You can upgrade from BlackBerry Mobile Voice System 5.1, 5.1 MR1, or 5.1 SP1 to BlackBerry MVS 5.2.
When you upgrade the BlackBerry MVS software, the following actions occur:
- All
BlackBerry MVS components are enabled.
For more information about the BlackBerry MVS 5.2 architecture, see the BlackBerry MVS 5.2 Feature and Technical Overview.
- Associations between BlackBerry MVS users and BlackBerry MVS telephony connectors are preserved.
- During installation, you are prompted for a Security Information Password that is used to protect the security information files that BlackBerry MVS 5.2 components require to communicate with each other. You must use this same password if you install additional BlackBerry MVS Server instances.
After you complete the software upgrade in your organization's classes of service, the new options have the following settings:
- Device can use the no data coverage number to make calls when the network is experiencing congestion is set to True. You use this option to permit the BlackBerry device to use the no data coverage number to make a call if BlackBerry MVS call setup fails because of network congestion. You must type a phone number in the No Data Coverage Number field on the BlackBerry MVS Server page in the MVS Console or this feature will not work. The no data coverage number must be unique and dedicated to the BlackBerry MVS. The no data coverage number must also be different than the number that you use for the Telephony Connector DID/DDI Number and the number that you use for the PBX Initiated Calling Caller Identification Number.
- If you restrict calls to use only the BlackBerry MVS line, you have the option to turn off the feature based on call direction in combination with roaming. For example, you can select the option to turn off BlackBerry MVS Only Calling for incoming calls in combination with roaming. These options are disabled by default.
- Caller Identification Validation for PBX Initiated Calls is disabled. During normal call setup some wireless networks might alter the caller identification number. If the BlackBerry MVS Client does not recognize the number, the BlackBerry MVS Client rejects the call. To avoid this, you can permit the BlackBerry MVS Client to ignore the number. When you do this, the BlackBerry MVS Client accepts the call.
Even if you have not enabled this feature, when the BlackBerry MVS Client detects that the user is roaming, and the user receives a call that has an altered caller identification number, the BlackBerry MVS Client will still accept the call.
Upgrade the BlackBerry MVS software on a single computer
Use this procedure to perform a software upgrade when there is only one BlackBerry Mobile Voice System in the BlackBerry Domain.
During the BlackBerry MVS upgrade process, BlackBerry MVS users on the computer that you are upgrading BlackBerry MVS cannot make or receive BlackBerry MVS calls.
- On the computer where you want to upgrade the BlackBerry MVS software, log in using the Windows domain user account (for example, MVSAdmin) that was used to install the BlackBerry MVS software.
- In the folder where the BlackBerry MVS installer is located, double-click the installer file.
- In the Winzip Self-Extractor window, click Unzip.
- When the Winzip Self-Extractor success dialog appears, click OK.
- If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Continue.
- On the License Agreement screen, complete the Country/Region, Serial Number, and Authentication Key fields. Read the license agreement. If you agree with the license agreement, select the I accept the terms in the license agreement option.
- Click Next.
- On the Setup Type screen, the components that the BlackBerry MVS setup application installs are displayed.
- Click Next.
- On the Pre-Install Check List screen, review the system information. Verify that a version of the BlackBerry MVS is already installed.
- Click Next.
On the
Database Upgrade screen, perform the
following actions as required:
- In the Microsoft SQL server name/IP address, Database name, and Port number fields, verify the information about the BlackBerry Configuration Database. The database that you provide the information for must be the current primary database.
- To create a Microsoft SQL Server backup of the existing BlackBerry Configuration Database, select the Back up the existing BlackBerry Configuration Database before upgrading its values option. In the Backup file name field, type a name for the backup file.
- In the Authentication method section, perform one of the following actions:
- If your organization uses database mirroring, select the Use Microsoft SQL Server database mirroring check box and type the name or IP address of the mirror database. Make sure that the mirror database is available.
When prompted to close the Services screen or Computer Management screen, click OK.
When prompted to add
BlackBerry MVS tables to the
BlackBerry Configuration Database, click
The BlackBerry MVS setup application adds tables to the BlackBerry Configuration Database to store BlackBerry MVS information. The tables do not impact the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data in the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
- On the Installation Info screen, type the password that you used in step 1.
- Click Next.
- On the Installation Summary screen, verify the logging information and destination information.
- Click Next.
- On the Install screen, after the upgrade process completes, click Continue.
On the
Connectivity screen, perform the following
- In the
BlackBerry MVS Server Instance Name field,
type the name of the computer that you are upgrading the
BlackBerry MVS software on.
The name that you type in the BlackBerry MVS Server Instance Name field must match the name that you type in the Instance Name field when you configure the BlackBerry MVS Server. After you complete the upgrade of the BlackBerry MVS software, a configuration wizard will help you configure the BlackBerry MVS Server.
- In the
MVS Data Manager Hostname or IP Address
field, type the IP address of the computer where you are installing the
BlackBerry MVS.
If the field is already populated, ensure that it is the IP address of the computer where you are installing the BlackBerry MVS.
As a rule, when upgrading from BlackBerry MVS 5.0, the prepopulated value is the IP address of the MVS Console computer.
- In the MVS Data Manager TCP Port field, type the port number that the MVS Data Manager listens on for messages from the MVS Session Manager. The default port number is 17631.
- In the Java Management Extensions TCP Port field, type a port number that the MVS Session Manager uses for internal communication. The default port number is 17602.
- In the Java Remote Method Invocation TCP Port field, type a port number that the MVS Session Manager uses for internal communication. The default port number is 17601.
- In the BlackBerry MVS Server Instance Name field, type the name of the computer that you are upgrading the BlackBerry MVS software on.
- Click Next.
On the
Security Information screen, perform the following actions:
- In the Security Information Password field, and the Confirm Security Information Password field, type and confirm a password.
- Select the
Generate new BlackBerry MVS security information
files option.
Selecting this option creates the security information files which all BlackBerry MVS components in the BlackBerry Domain require for communications amongst themselves. You must copy these files to a shared folder before installing BlackBerry MVS on another computer.
- Click Next.
- On the Installation Complete screen, click Start Services.
- After the BlackBerry MVS components have started, click Finish.

He's been so great since day 1 but wow that was painful tonight.
Not bunting Andino with Machado on 1st and nobody out with the game tied in the 5th. Not bunting Endy Chavez with Xavier Avery on 1st and nobody out down by 1 in the 9th. Then, the worst of them all, taking the bat out of the hot Chris Davis' hands trying to steal 2nd with 2 outs to end the game.
Just a horrible managed game by Buck tonight. I'm not holding it against him, it happens, I just can't remember three horrible decisions like that from Buck in one game.

Buffalo, NY -- High temperatures today are around average, near 60 degrees F.
Temperatures will drop a bit into the weekend. High temps will be in the mid to low 50s, and lows in the upper 30s.
Lake effect rain showers are possible at times during Saturday into Sunday morning.
It is that time of year. If temperatures were just a bit cooler we would be talking about lake effect snow potentially! We will keep an eye on things of course.

After a 12-4 victory over Delta on Wednesday afternoon at home, the Carbon High Dinos traveled to Delta for another game. Unfortunately for the Dinos, the result was not the same as the Dinos lost their first Region 12 game of the year 5-0 on Friday afternoon.
After breaking out for 12 runs on 16 hits in the win on Wednesday, the Dino offense was shutout and held to just four hits. Delta scored all five runs in the first two innings and held on for the win.
Now the Dinos (11-4 overall, 3-1 Region 12) will turn their attention to the Region 12 leading Spanish Fork Dons as the Dinos will play host today at 3:30 p.m. On Thursday the Dinos will travel to Spanish Fork for a game starting at 3:30 p.m.

Because you can't pack an entire wardrobe for multi-day backpacking trips, outfit yourself with the highly versatile Mountain Hardwear Men's Mesa V.2 Convertible Pant. The full-length pant protects your legs from prickly underbrush and, when the morning chill yields to the mid-day sun, you can simply zip off the legs and you're good to go. Plus, a DWR finish and mesh drain panels allow the shorts to dry in a flash after you've cooled off in a crystal clear alpine lake.
- Canyon Twill nylon fabric is lightweight, breathable, and has a DWR finish for quick dry times
- Convertible feature allows you to zip off the legs to turn this pant into a lightweight pair of shorts
- Relaxed fit and a gusseted inseam allow you to move freely
- Mesh panels inside the pockets allow water to drain when you take a dip in the river
- UPF 50 rating helps you avoid harmful sunburn
- Tool-specific pocket is ideal for a pocket knife
- Zippered side pocket keeps valuables safely stowed

Good buy.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
I have several other convertible pants (North Face Paramount Peaks) and wanted something similar as I wear the bejessus out of those. I think that these will definitely fit the bill. While I agree with bre3209695 about the pockets not being deep enough, I have no issue carrying around my phone, wallet, and a Leatherman (if not attached to my belt). My one issue comes in that they run just a wee bit tight. Nothing to send them back over, but I definitely needed to do some adjusting once I got them on. I have yet to really put these things through their paces, but they seem like a great day hike pant, and work well for an everyday (which is what I got them for).
Lacking in pockets and zips
These are really nicely constructed, and lightweight. The fit is solid, not too baggy through the legs, although they do flare out slightly towards the ankles. But the front pockets are not nearly deep enough, and will lead to stuff falling out. The back pockets have no velcro or zip closure, and the one zip pocket is very small, barely big enough for sunglasses. Also, this version lacks ankle zips, which I find essential not just for removing the legs, but also for getting the pants to fit right over my boots. So back they went, alas.

about size..
if the size is 30x32 what is waist size?
Waist size comes first in that measurement, so that's a 30-inch waist and a 32-inch inseam.
