Our Staff
Jennifer, Director Of OperationsJennifer has been administrating the business of Huckabee Dental since February 2007. She loves Huckabee Dental so much that she drives from Mansfield every day to be here. Jennifer has been in the dental industry since she was 16 when she started her very first job as a part-time sterilization tech. 20-something years later, her advanced knowledge in every aspect of the dental office enables her to provide guidance and training in all facets of our practice. She has worked diligently to create an atmosphere of teamwork and respect, making Huckabee Dental an awesome place to work. And she didn't write this, either. On the negative side, Jennifer can mess up a perio chart faster than you can blink, so the hygienists have learned the hard way to avoid her help at all costs.
She and her husband, Trent, recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Together they have three gorgeous girls, Micah, Salem, and Chloe, and two dobermans, Husker and Big Red. Want to guess which college team they cheer for? Jennifer is currently working, ever so slowly, toward a degree in accounting and will hopefully be graduating sometime within the next 10 years or so. Her motto is "better late than never."
Lisa, Financial CoordinatorThe year 2000 brought Lisa to our practice and things have never been the same since! Lisa's smile lights up a room, but don't let that fool you. She'll fight when she has to, especially for your insurance benefits! Lisa knows just about every patient by name, and most of our patients look for her smiling face whenever they come in for appointments. Lisa still loves using her vast knowledge of dentistry to assist patients. If you don't know the answer, Lisa will go above and beyond to get it for you. She is always ready and willing to help and is an invaluable asset to our office.
Lisa recently found fame, if you call the ability to be Googled fame, when her wedding ceremony (and the big kiss) was recorded and featured during a local 11/11/11 news broadcast. When she isn't signing autographs, she enjoys singing in her church choir, spending time with her godchild, London Ray, and learning the latest dance moves from her daughters, Jae and Jasmine (ask her to do "Pop, Lock and Drop" the next time you see her!)
Shelby, Business ManagerShelby joined us in October 2011. She grew up in the Big Sky state of Montana and attended Southwestern State University in Oregon on a volleyball scholarship. She moved to Keller, TX, in 2001 and soon after began her career in dentistry. With ten years of experience in both the business and clinical setting, Shelby has a knack for explaining treatment with an uncomplicated, Shelby-esque flair that puts patients at ease and makes them smile.
Shelby has a son named Cooper and a great dane named Emma. She eats, breathes, and sleeps all things football, loves playing and watching sports, and is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Oregon Ducks. Although she spent this past Thanksgiving at a local Whataburger, she swears she loves to travel, especially to the Midwest to see her family.
Regina, ReceptionistRegina will warmly greet you when you come to our office. She joined us as our receptionist in September of 2011. Born and raised in Texas, she graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising. She spent the first ten years after graduation with a career in the advertising industry. Life then moved her to Tennessee where she worked for a large dermatology practice in Nashville, then to Florida where she worked for a facial plastic surgeon, then back to Texas where we snatched her up to teach her all about dentistry.
All told, Regina brings with her over 20 years of customer service experience. She has been such a welcome addition to our business office. When she isn't brightening up our office, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and her Shih-Poo, Reno, who is the love of her life. She also loves tropical beach vacations. Is it actually necessary for one to profess a love of tropical getaways? It should go without saying…that's a given for all of us.
Danielle, Patient CoordinatorIn January 2011, Danielle (Dani for short) became a new Huckabee Dental staff member. Danielle came to Texas from Utah last year and brought with her over 15 years of dental experience in the business office as well as clinical assisting. She immediately fit in with our crazy team and constantly proclaims her love for her new job. We constantly reiterate that flattery will get her everywhere.
She is originally from California and states she would wear flip flops 24-7 if she could. She and her husband James have two children, Mia and Jacoby. She enjoys running and watching her husband compete in marathons. She loves to travel, in an airplane, not on foot. Danielle keeps things positive and always has a smile on her face. She does have one downfall, however. She hasn't adapted to Texas quite as fast as some of our other recent transplants. Need proof? Ask her to pronounce "y'all" the next time you are in the office.
Alisha, Patient CoordinatorAlisha joined our Patient Services team in January 2013. Alisha epitomizes the expression, "Calm, cool, and collected" and is more often than not the soothing voice that answers when you call our office. She graduated from UT Arlington in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree and is currently working toward a Masters in Education at the University of North Texas.
Alisha married her husband, Greg, in 2011, and together they have one fur-baby: a pug named Bo. Alisha loves watching Texas Rangers baseball and Dallas Stars hockey and states that sports enable her to channel her aggressive alter ego. As if working full time, obtaining a Masters degree, and getting all diva at sporting events aren't enough, she finds time to work in her yard and maintains a garden for home-grown veggies. Alisha also enjoys outdoor activities and loves camping and hiking.
Michelle, Treatment CoordinatorMichelle was welcomed as an addition to our business office in January 2014. Currently, we are taking advantage of her irresistible voice and charismatic personality to hypnotize the grumpy dental insurance reps over the phone. She has settled in well and is making a flawless transition into dentistry from the mortgage field, which she had worked in for 15 years. Michelle grew up in Texas but spent 13 years in Colorado after she graduated high school. She moved back to Texas in 2008 and brought with her a love for skiing, the Rocky Mountains, and Colorado Rockies baseball.
Michelle attends Gateway Church. She spends her free time with her boyfriend, watching Central High School and Dallas Patriots baseball, cooking, going to the movies, and eating out with friends and family. Sadly, she doesn't have pets, cool dance moves, or the singing voice of 10,000 angels. However, Michelle professes a love for desserts and all things sweet. She says, "I don't have just a sweet tooth. ALL of my teeth are sweet!" That's okay, Michelle, we got your teeth covered.
Angie, Recall Coordinator
Angie is a local gal and graduated from Fossil Ridge High School in 2009, after which she attended dental assisting school. She is extremely directionally challenged and it took her awhile to find us. When she finally found her way out of her driveway, she came to our Patient Services Center in March 2013 and made an immediate positive impact in the office. Angie is usually the person mailing postcards or incessantly calling you with friendly reminders that you are due for your checkup! She juggles the schedules for seven hygienists with near perfection and works hard to assist our patients in keeping their appointments, so go easy on her when she calls or emails you 5 times in a row to confirm your appointment.
Angie loves anything outdoors. She loves Texas Rangers baseball and TCU Hornfrog football. She is the oldest of three sisters and is the mother to a beautiful three-year-old daughter. Her favorite thing to do is spend time with her family. Her second favorite thing to do is morph into our own little office comedian and quote lines from Every. Single. Movie. Known. To Man.
Beverly, RDH, Hygiene ManagerBeverly, who has been with Dr. Huckabee since 1997, runs our hygiene department. She has developed a strong and lasting relationship with so many of our patients. Her professionalism and passion for patient care exemplify what Huckabee Dental is all about. Beverly attended the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and received her Associates in Dental Hygiene in 1984 from Wharton College.
Bev has been a personal trainer for 15 years and enjoys teaching Yoga and Pilates. She and her husband of 16 years, Jeff, attend Irving Bible Church. They moved to Southlake from Coppell about 5 years ago when they realized they needed a bigger house for their "baby", Rocco Kitty, who by the way is potty trained and brushes his teeth twice a day! Seriously!
Jennifer, RDH, HygienistJennifer has been our resident "hygienist with the big blonde hair" since 1998. Jennifer has the ability to make everyone with whom she comes in contact feel like a long lost friend, even when they are meeting her for the very first time. Patients adore her infectious personality…and when we say adore, we mean ADORE. She's bubbly and energetic (even at 5 o'clock in the morning), and when she laughs in the office, everyone knows it.
Jennifer graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Midwestern in 1995 and prides herself on building trusting relationships with our patients. She and her husband, Darron, have two beautiful daughters, Lauren and Makenna. They live in Grapevine and are very active in their church. In her spare time, she enjoys scrapbooking and exercising. Wait, what? People really enjoy exercising?
Amanda, RDH, HygienistAmanda came in October 2005, making the dynamic hygiene duo a trio. We don't know how she does it, but she is happy all the time, which makes everyone around her happy, which is why we (and our patients) love her so much. Sometimes, you will hear Amanda singing brushing songs to the kiddos in the office. If you are really lucky, you might even have the opportunity to hear her rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" which, believe us, will be hard to get out of your head once you hear it.
Amanda has a Bachelor's in Kinesiology from Texas A&M Commerce and graduated with a degree in Dental Hygiene from Tarrant County College in 2000. Amanda and her husband, Lanny, have two children, Hannah and Landon, who, according to Amanda, are "the cutest darn kids you'll ever seen." Amanda recently transformed her treatment room into a tranquil retreat where the lucky few can have the opportunity to see just how ridiculously cute her entire family is.
Nancy, RDH, HygienistNancy joined the Huckabee hygiene team in July 2006 bringing with her over 25 years of advanced periodontal experience. Nancy graduated in 1982 with an Associates in Dental Hygiene from Tarrant County College. That was way back when they all had the cute white nurses uniforms and the matching hats. The pictures are classic and really good for a pick me up when you are having a bad day.
Nancy and her husband, David, have four kids, a set of triplet boys and a daughter, who are all in college at the same time! Amazingly, she still finds time to work full time as our hygienist as well as owning/operating a Christian accessories boutique at Main Street Station in Grapevine. Her hobbies include event planning, interior decorating, and creating custom mums for the crazy Texas homecomings. Whenever we get tired and weary, we just look to Nancy for the inspiration to keep on keeping on.
Kimbra, RDH, HygienistKimbra, the sister-in-law to hygienist Jennifer, the sister to Jen's husband, Darron, and the aunt to Jen's daughters, Lauren and Makenna, became a part of our hygiene team in 2007. And yes, there will be a test.
Before attending hygiene school, Kimbra worked as an assistant here and loved it so much she had to come back after she graduated. Kimbra is originally from Oklahoma. We don't hold that against her although she is easily recognized in the office as the girl with the hick accent. Kimbra graduated from Midwestern University with a Bachelors in Dental Hygiene. She and her longtime boyfriend, Jacob, were recently married and are busy renovating their newly purchased home sweet home. Now she's the girl with the hick accent and the "big ol' shiny diamond rang!"
Debbie, RDH, Dental HygienistDebbie has been with us since August 2011 and has almost a decade of experience as a dental hygienist. She was born in Sweetwater, TX, and graduated with a BS in Dental Hygiene from Texas Woman's University, where she was on the Dean's List three years running despite the fact that she was born in a town also known as the "Home of the Rattlesnake Roundup."
When she isn't making teeth shine and patients laugh, she enjoys being a wife to her husband of 18 years and a mommy to her two children. Debbie's long list of talents includes a special knack for losing fingernails and toenails, not purposefully, of course. She also has a chocolate lab named Duke. Secretly, Duke aspires to be Marley from the book/movie, "Marley and Me," and works hard every day to prove it. Recently, he ate their barbeque grill.
Laura, RDH, HygienistLaura, the latest but not least member of our hygiene team, joined us in September 2012. She is a graduate of Texas Women's University and we are so excited to have her 22 years of experience to add to our amazing hygiene department. Laura moved to Argyle in 2010 with her husband, Robert, and their three teenagers: Sarah, Joshua, and Jordan.
Laura is active in her church and enjoys cooking, jogging, reading, decorating, and scrapbooking. In addition to working here full time, she is always busy with children's activities (cheerleading, football, cross country) and she loves spending time with friends. As if working full time, raising three teenagers, football games, track meets, food, books, and crafts don't give her enough to do, Laura also competes in marathons. To date she has completed two full marathons and numerous half marathons. Even though she's new, we are certain that our patients will instantly embrace her sweet spirit and appreciate her dental knowledge.
Stephanie, RDA, Clinical ManagerWe are pleased to introduce Stephanie to you. Stephanie has been an assistant since 2007 and joined our team as Lead Assistant in December 2013. Prior to joining us she was a Dental Assisting Instructor at North Central Texas College. Stephanie has been fortunate to work in several aspects of dentistry and in doing so has gained a wide array of knowledge along the way. She is our very own air traffic controller and is doing a fantastic job keeping our dentists pointed in the right direction.
Currently, Stephanie lives in Sundance Square with her boyfriend and her dog, Bella. She spends her free time in downtown Fort Worth (obviously) and trying out new restaurants. Stephanie is also a Groupon fanatic and enjoys new adventures at discounted rates.
Micah, RDA, Dental AssistantMicah is the baby of the bunch but has been with Huckabee Dental since 2010. She began working part-time, learning everything she could about the sterilization and lab process, and has worked her way up to being an experienced, registered assistant. She works with all the doctors here but has an affinity for surgery and loves assisting during surgery cases. Micah's short term goal is to obtain her IV certification as well as becoming a Certified Phlebotomist so that she can further benefit the practice during sedation cases.
Micah graduated from Mansfield High School and attended Texas Wesleyan University on a softball scholarship. After deciding she no longer wanted to play softball, she came on board as a full-time clinical assistant. Although she changes her career goals weekly and has had aspirations of becoming a kindergarten teacher, a hygienist, a doctor, an oral surgeon, and a veterinarian, for now, she is quite content being a part of the amazing team we have here at the office.
Courtney, RDA, Dental AssistantJuly 2013, Courtney joined our staff. We will never be the same. Courtney is about the easiest going, good-natured person you will ever be around. And she maintains this personality while constantly operating at warp speed. She is, however, quite a difficult safe to crack when it comes to gathering intel in order to write a witty bio. When asked about her hobbies, she stated, "I'm not very interesting." When asked about pets, she stated, "Eek! NO!" When asked about submitting something fun about herself, she stated, "I'm horrible at writing about myself."
So, here we are. These are the facts we know about Courtney to date: 1. She graduated from Sanger High School but was raised in Keller, 2. She has a four year old boy named Hayden. That is all.
Kim, RDA, Dental AssistantKim relocated to Texas from New Jersey in 2013 to marry her husband, Joey. She joined us as a Dental Assistant in August 2013. She loves the hot weather and the sunshine in Texas, which are much more conducive to her lying in the sun with a good book than her previous location. Surprisingly, Kim got into dentistry over 13 years ago as a result of the fact that she was petrified of the dentist as a child. She was able to overcome her fear and now, she can relate to patients with dental phobias.
Kim is a huge animal lover and has a heart for rescue dogs. She loves taking their dog, Maggie May, to the dog park. Both her and her husband are music and movie fanatics and enjoy bantering back and forth with movie lines from their favorite movies. Kim acquired her dental assisting certifications from the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey and recently became registered with the state of Texas. We have yet to experience what, "Going Jersey" on us means, but Kim uses the term affectionately to keep us all in line!
Jordan, RDA, Dental AssistantJordan was born and raised in Burleson, TX. She obtained a BS in Biology from DBU and shortly after graduated from Dental Assisting school in 2013. Jordan was originally hired as our Sterilization Tech in August 2013 and quickly moved into the role of Dental Assistant. There is rarely a time that you do not see Jordan in a great mood. Her smile is infectious and so is her laugh.
Jordan loves hugs, but loves her baby girl, Riley, more. She also has a fur-baby German Shepherd named Maya. In her free time, she plays slow pitch softball. She admits to spending most of her money on clothes. Recently, she took up a new hobby. She likes to call it PUI which is short for, "painting under the influence of wine".
Meriah, RDA, Sterilization TechMeriah got into the dental field because she enjoys helping others and being able to meet new people. She graduated from DFW School of Dental Assisting in 2012. After spending a few years assisting, she brought her talents to our office in January 2014. Right now, Meriah is in charge of our infection control and sterilization processes and does a great job of keeping instruments cycled and supplies stocked.
Meriah was raised in Grand Prairie and graduated from Bowie High School. She currently lives in Arlington with her dog, Rocky. She also has a passion for traveling and would love to cross a trip to Europe off her bucket list in the future. She is a self-professed "girly tomboy." For example, she enjoys spending time with her family but she enjoys hunting with her dad more. She also loves sports including football and baseball, but she loves to cheer on the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers with made-up songs and dances.
Shelby, RDA, Registered Dental AssistantShelby (or "The Assistant Shelby" as she is affectionately known around here) joined our clinical team in February 2015. She was born and raised in Grapevine and is our resident smarty pants…literally. She graduated from Grapevine High School a year ahead of schedule in 2011. After her graduation, Shelby received on the job chair-side assistant training and officially became a Registered Dental Assistant in 2014. After getting licensed, she took a job as a Sterilization Technician and then transferred her skills to our office where she is now one of our amazing Dental Assistants.
Shelby spends her time away from the office with her boyfriend and her family watching movies, cooking, or trying out new food joints. She says she doesn't really have any hobbies, but we can vouch that she has serious softball skills and proved she is pretty dangerous with a bat at our last staff appreciation event. As of right now, Shelby plans to begin working toward a degree in Dental Hygiene in the fall of 2015. She loves the dental industry and is excited to see what her future holds.

October 5, 2015
MOSCOW (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree banning demonstrations and rallies in Sochi for two and a half months around the Winter Olympics.
The decree, published in the government newspaper Friday, says all "gatherings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets" that are not part of the Olympics or Paralympics will be prohibited in Sochi from Jan. 7 to March 21.
The Winter Olympics will be held in Sochi on Feb. 7-23 and the Paralympics March 7-16.
The decree also orders other measures aimed at tightening security in Sochi, such as restricting vehicle entry.
Government-imposed protest bans across entire cities where Olympics are held are unusual, and Putin's decree could be aimed at heading off demonstrations against Russia's ban on so-called gay propaganda.

Rutgers offers the nation's only packaging program housed in an engineering school. Unique from other engineering disciplines in its dynamic, the Packaging Engineering Concentration under Applied Sciences Engineering prepares engineering students by drawing heavily from each of the chemical, industrial, materials and mechanical engineering fields. It requires a strong background in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computers.
The missions of the Packaging Engineering Program are to seek, through engineering research, improved functions of the packaging design and provide sustainable service to the community, based on the results of the research and educational effort conducted at Rutgers University.
This discipline ensures students will have strong grounding issues of covering a broad area of expertise from design conceptualization all the way to product deployment. These broad areas of expertise can be applied in many different industrial fields: the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, the cosmetic industry and the industry for medical devices among many others.

Having a baby is a fun exciting and time in your life so why not add to the excitement of it all by revealing your babies gender with Baby Reveal Cupcakes!!
Baby showers seem to be a perfect time to reveal your baby's gender as you and your friends and family will all be together celebrating at once. Using a cake or cupcake to reveal the big surprise will really make your party different and special.
There are so many classic and unique ideas of cake designs out there! I like the mummies tummy one, similar to this one pictured by a touch of cake. It is a very fun, fresh and modern idea. You could have a plain white or neautral design, but once the Baby Reveal Cupcakes are cut the sponge reveals the babys gender using either pink or blue.
Some great Baby Reveal Cupcakes
Or you could use some ideas like these below from The cupcake blog.
Why stop the fun there, have games like guess the babys name, birth weight ect

Using Stock Return Data to Measure the Wealth Effects of Regulation: Additional Evidence from California's Proposition 103
Grace, Elizabeth V., Rose, Lawrence C., Karafiath, Imre, Journal of Risk and Insurance
On November 8, 1988, despite intense insurance industry lobbying efforts, California voters approved Proposition 103, radically reforming the state's insurance laws. Among the referendum's more controversial provisions was a 20 percent reduction in property-liability (notably auto) insurance rates. Proposition 103 outlined which risk factors could and could not be used to underwrite auto insurance. Geography could no longer be used as a primary rating factor.(1) Instead, drivers' records, miles driven, and years of driving experience became the primary determinants of insurance premium rates. Insurers were also required to lower insurance premium rates an additional 20 percent for good drivers. No other lines of insurance received such specific attention.
Within two days of the vote, the California State Supreme Court issued a temporary staying order, delaying implementation of the measure. This stay was ultimately overturned, and the elected California insurance commissioner directed automobile insurers to pay rebates in 1993. Consequently, this act has had an impact on the operating profits of California's insurers. This article examines whether the market correctly anticipated Proposition 103's impact on California's property-liability insurers. We also examine whether Proposition 103's impact varies by firm-specific characteristics.
Previous stock market-based research by Fields et al. (1990), Szewczyk and Varma (1990), and Shelor and Cross (1990) on the wealth effects of Proposition 103 report conflicting conclusions. Both Fields et al. and Szewczyk and Varma find a significant negative impact on insurers with high California exposure. In addition to a time-series event methodology, Fields et al. employ cross-sectional regression and find that insurer negative abnormal stock returns are proportional to California exposure. Both Fields et al. and Szewczyk and Varma also conclude that the California reform represents a leading indicator of other states' likely reforms, supported by stock market evidence. By comparison, Shelor and Cross report no significant negative impact of Proposition 103 on California insurers but a significant negative impact (-2.87 percent) on non-California insurers on election day and the following day. These authors offer size effects as an explanation; large insurers were able to diversify away adverse effects of regulation while small non-California insurers were unable to do so.
This article uses the stock market to measure the wealth effects of California Proposition 103. The article differs from previous research in several respects. First, we examine the abnormal performance of both equally-weighted and value-weighted portfolios of exposed and nonexposed securities.(2) Portfolios are drawn from the sample of firms used by Fields et al. and also from a somewhat different sample. Results from the value-weighted portfolios indicate that Proposition 103 had little impact on the aggregate (dollar) value of the insurance industry.
Second, we compare the security return behavior of five firms (Chubb, Fireman's Fund, Ohio Casualty, Safeco, and Zenith National) mentioned in the Wall Street Journal's Heard on the Street (HOTS) column on the day before the election to the stock return behavior of four other firms not mentioned in HOTS but that had roughly comparable California exposure. Thus, the relative performance of these stocks can shed some light on market efficiency.
Third, to gauge the impact of this referendum and the subsequent court decision to delay implementation, we estimate a cross-sectional regression in value terms; that is, we regress the abnormal change in (dollar) value of the firm's equity against direct premiums written in automobile and other insurance lines in estimating relative exposure to Proposition 103.
Theory and Hypotheses
We test three hypotheses concerning the stock market reaction to Proposition 103: the contagion effect hypothesis, the information effect hypothesis, and the dribs and drabs hypothesis. …

Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Ronnie's in. Bittersweet but worthy of shedding a few tears for all Cub fans.
Here's the link to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's site announcement.
The "Golden Era" decision committee was changed to a 16 member group for this vote. As in the usual Hall of Fame voting, 75% of the ballots were needed. Ron Santo got 15 of 16 ballots which is 94% and in Cub circles officially considered a landslide. He's the only candidate who got in this time. The next most ballots went to Jim Kaat who got 10 votes, Gil Hodges and Minnie Minoso with 9 votes and Tony Olivo with 8.
Teammate, Billy Williams, was a member of the HOF voting committee, was quoted saying "we got it done."
The remainder of the committee:
The 16-member Golden Era Committee was comprised of Hall of Fame members Hank Aaron, Pat Gillick, Al Kaline, Ralph Kiner, Tommy Lasorda, Juan Marichal, Brooks Robinson; major league executives Paul Beeston (Blue Jays), Bill DeWitt (Cardinals), Roland Hemond (Diamondbacks), Gene Michael (Yankees) and Al Rosen (retired); and veteran media members Dick Kaegel, Jack O'Connell and Dave Van Dyck. Hall of Fame Chairman of the Board Jane Forbes Clark served as the non-voting chairman of the Golden Era Committee.
Pat Hughes on WGN radio (as I type) says he envisions Ron with a maximally happy look on his face, "like a happy 10 year old kid".
His wife, Vicki Santo, during the same WGN radio interview said up in heaven he's pumping his fist saying, "I got there".
July 22nd 2012 will be Ron Santo's induction date. Heel Clicking optional.

Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I still have to say, I lost some respect for the HoF voters for making us all wait until after he was dead. I know some people didn't like that he basically campaigned for his own inclusion in the HoF, but unlike statements made by the likes of Ricky Henderson, Ron's desire for the HoF always seemed to me to express an almost awe-struck respect for what the HoF is and giddiness at the widely shared belief that he belonged among those ranks.
Good for the old-timers.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Different cast of voters this time around.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Even so, I think this underscores the issues with the way HOF voting works. Either you're a HOFer or you're not, and I've never understood why players get different vote totals each time they're up for election. Nothing changed about their impact on the game or about their numbers, so why would anyone feel different about them?
Basically, if Santo was going to be voted to the HOF eventually, I think he should've been voted in when he was eligible.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Well I guess one reason could be the strength of class? If a lot of top flight players are eligible, a borderline or less obvious choice could be overlooked?
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I think there are viable reasons for someone getting in later. Different voters looking at certain stats differently, different competition like Dusty said below. That said neither are why Santo got in this time and this specific case is pretty ridiculous. Whatever, he's in now. At least his family has that.

LaSorda said they talk as a group about the candidates extensively. There was extensive discussion on everyone. Members were allowed to vote for 4 candidates.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I'm sure time has no meaning wherever Ronny is now, and he saw this the instant he joined his new colleagues in baseball heaven. He probably watched the Cubs outfielders running in to celebrate break the world series curse, too, in the year 2525.
I bet if you asked which he'd have rather seen in his lifetime, it would be the WS. If there was a Wikipedia entry for Cubs Fan his picture would be there.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I hate WSux fans. As soon as the Santo election news is posted, there are assholes on the Trib's site ready to bash Santo--the heel-clicking, the Don Young incident, etc....These losers are so obsessed with Cubs-hate they can't even let a DEAD man have a nice day. This is why when people tell me the Cards are the Cubs mortal enemy, I just shake my head. I despise everything about the south side.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
The truth is there is No such thing as a true White Sox Fan, the only reason they exist is because they hate the Cubs and their fans. Sox fans dont care about winning they just care about how they do compared to the Cubs.

Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I hate to be a turd in the punch bowl, Santo's being HOF did not change my opinion as a player either way.
But's interesting to see that it took three(I think) different rule rivisions to get him into the HOF.
Now someone up top really liked Ronnie (Selig?) while the majority(voters) did not. It's not like there were 5-6 guys like Santo who were close enought to warrant this much work.
Kaat? No
Oliva? No
Minnie Minosa? Definatley not

JACOS: I have to respectfully disagree with you about Minnie Minoso.
Monte Irvin was not worthy of selection to the HOF based solely upon his MLB career, but he was worthy if you factor in what he did in the Negro Leagues prior to that.
Minoso played four years with the New York Cubans 1945-48 (and he was the Main Man on the Cubans Negro Leagues Championship team in 1947), and played in the East-West Game (Negro Leagues All-Star game) in '47 and '48.
I do have to admit that I am a bit prejuduced. I went to HS with Minnie's son, who was a member of our state championship basketball team in 1968, and later a member of the first class at the Kansas City Royals Baseball Academy in 1971.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I'm with AZ Phil.
Minoso suffered from the existence of the color line in baseball, yet his major league stats show that he was a star at the plate, on the bases, and in the field. His lifetime slash stats were .298/.389/.459 with a .848 OPS and a 130 lifetime OPS+. Pretty impressive. He finished with 205 SBs and averaged 9.8 outfield assists per season as an outfielder. He had a 162 game average of 16 HR and 90 RBI per season over his career. He was a 7-time All Star and a 3-time Gold Glove winner. He received MVP votes in 8 separate seasons. He maintained a level of excellence over a 10 season span, receiving MVP votes and All-Star selections from his rookie year of 1951 through 1960. To me, all of those things put together say Hall of Fame player.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
and the Heckler's breaking story about Santo's HOF ceremony...titled: Santo to return from the grave for Hall of Fame induction just to piss off Mike Schmidt
"Ronnie made a secret deal with God that he would be able to come back for just one day after he died," said Vicki Santo. "Naturally we all agreed that day would be for his Hall of Fame ceremony. I can't wait to see the look on Mike Schmidt's face when an angelic Ronnie floats down from the heavens to give his speech in person. It's going to be great!"

Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Yeah, he interviewed with St Louis on Nov 8th or 9th.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Your point regarding the election process is well-taken. Santo was first eligible for consideration by the writers in 1980, and his experience with voting over the past 31 years has, in my view, told a lot about the Hall of Fame. He was initally kicked off the writers' ballot in 1980 for failing to receive at least 5% of the vote (a rule which was then relatively new), a decision which in retrospect seems baffling. He was reinstated to the ballot in 1985, and given until 1998 on the BBWAA ballot (the time during which he was kicked off the ballot being added to the 15 years otherwise eligible). Ironically, being eligible for consideration by the BBWAA reduced the number of years during which he could be considered by the previous version of the veterans committee, which was cashiered following the Mazeroski election in 2001.
The post-2001 VC did not elect anyone during the entirety of its existence, being replaced prior to this election by the current process.
At the time Santo was first considered, only two third basemen had ever been elected to Hall of Fame by the writers (Eddie Mathews and Pie Traynor); there are now seven, with Robinson, Schmidt, Brett, Molitor and Boggs having been elected by the writers during this period.
There were three VC inductees who were third basemen in 1980; the old VC elected George Kell in 1983.
Santo's history in my view illustrates an ongoing tension between the Hall's desire to elect people while preserving the sense that their process is highly exclusive. His voting record also seems to indicate a bias by the voters in favor of round numbers. Bill James I think said of Jim Kaat that if you just rearranged his numbers a bit to take some wins from one season and add them to another, so as to give him 5 consecutive years of 20 wins, he would have already have been elected. You can make a similar argument about Santo. If you took some rbi from 1969 and spread them over some earlier years, you could have a several consecutive 100-rbi years, which might have made a difference with the writers.
In a broader sense, this is certainly well-deserved in my view, if seriously overdue. It is a shame that he could not have been inducted when he was alive.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Mind boggling that he couldn't get 5% of the vote? Really?
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
You could make a really good team of players that did not get 5%, including Bobby Grich, Lou Whitaker, Darrell Evans, Jimmy Wynn and Will Clark.
A really good trivia question is to ask what Hall of Famer was elected by the writers despite initially getting less than 5% in his first year on the writers' ballot? The answer is Ralph Kiner, who got less than 5% when the 5% rule was not in effect, and then saw his totals build until he got to 75% in his last year on the BBWAA ballot.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
HOF voters don't (didn't) think walks were valuable.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
"Santo's history in my view illustrates an ongoing tension between the Hall's desire to elect people while preserving the sense that their process is highly exclusive"
It should be exclusive but very flawed in the fact they have degrees on how to vote who goes in on what ballot.
He's not a first ballot guy, he's not a unanimous guy.
It's bull shit, and has been flawed since first vote didn't have any unannimous players.
Ruth?Cobb? Young?
Now it's a more of a pr ploy for MLB, because Bud could not let a winter go by with out one HOF announced. And he's about to get a few years of that coming up.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
It's been a lot less exclusive when compared to players of certain eras and positions than it has been for others. Joe Posnanski had a post up awhile ago that illustrated that if you were a big league regular and had a career of any length in the late 20s or early 30s, odds were basically 50-50 that you'd be a hall of famer. It's much harder to get in if you were an offensive player in the 60s, as Santo was. Also, there are still fewer third basemen in the Hall than representatives from any other position.
I'm OK with the Hall being exclusive. I'd like to see consistency. Allowing in as many players as they did from the late 20s and 30s is nt the answer, but the experience of the past 20 years is too much of a correction.

Riggs Stephenson. Discuss.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Uh...4500 at bats. Great batting average. Only played full time 5 seasons really in an era of offensive domination. Not a lot of HR's or RBI's...or steals....
I say nice guy, not HOF worthy/
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
I thought I read somewhere that Stephenson has the highest career OBP of anyone in the pre-WWII era that is not in the HOF. Take away Wilson's two monster years and you could argue Stephenson was a more important OF-er to the Cubs dynasty teams of the 20s and 30s than was Hack.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Stephenson only played over 100 games in 5 seasons.
Wilson:.321/.406/.539, 97 runs, 21 HR, 109 RBI 529 PA's
Stephenson: .338/.404/.456, 40 runs, 3HR, 44 RBI 324 PA's
Wilson:.318/.401/.579, 119 runs, 30 HR, 129 RBI 520 PA's
Stephenson: .344/.415/.491, 101 runs, 7HR, 82 RBI 579 PA's
Wilson:.313/.404/.588, 89 runs, 31 HR, 120 RBI 551 PA's
Stephenson: .324/.407/.477, 75 runs, 8 HR, 90 RBI 512 PA's
I don't see Stephenson being better in any of those 3 years when you take both the slash lines and counting #'a into consideration.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
Joe Posnanski's post on Santo.
Note that of the 12 players he mentions in the article (which include Dick Allen, who I would not vote for), 11 of them received less than 5% on a writers' ballot. Others that were kicked off the BBWAA ballot include Ted Simmons, Sal Bando, Bret Saberhagen, Orel Hershiser, Norm Cash, Boog Powell, Albert Belle and Vada Pinson. Many of those players are arguably better than some of the selections made by the writers in the past. I would take Saberhagen over Catfish Hunter, for example.
Re: Finally! Ron Santo, HOF
You could make a good case for Simmons, he was an elite-level hitting catcher in the 70s, killed the Cubs over and over again. Undoubtedly, the long shadow of Johnny Bench during Ted's career follows him in his retirement as well.
Too bad Joey Belle was such an ass, or he'd have a legit shot. Saberhagen is a tough one, a genuine borderline case.

based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.
He is but I would think it'd be better to start out with offense and then bring in Jackson and LaStella once they have a lead. Stella has very good PH #s too.

This summer, the kids and I have even more incentive to walk than usual. We have extra pep in our steps because we're raising money for Love146 and have pledged to walk 146 miles this summer in order to raise awareness and funds for the fight against child trafficking.
May saw our feet hitting the pavement (and the trails and the fields) for a total of 19.7 miles. That was pretty good, considering the weather didn't exactly cooperate with us (we don't walk on stormy days).
However, so far June has seen us log in even more miles. The skies are sunny, we're eager to get out and about, and there are plenty of fun things to do and see in June. I think it's going to be our best walking month yet!

Artist Spotlight: Jim James
Jim James has to be naturally gifted when it comes to music. Whether you're talking about his guitar abilities, powerful voice, or knack for writing complex melodies; there's clearly something there that just can't be taught.
What's even more impressive is the way his creative well never seems to run dry. Between albums and nonstop touring with My Morning Jacket, he somehow found time to record an EP of George Harrison songs, collaborate with Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt) on a Woody Guthrie Tribute album, record and tour as part of The Monsters of Folk, and contribute to albums by Camera Obscura, Neko Case, and The Decemberists. Jim James isn't just a musician. He's a madman.
The most recent project he's devoted himself to is Regions of Light and Sound of God, his first proper solo LP. The album is loosely based on "God's Man," a wordless novel published in 1929 by American artist Lynd Ward. The novel follows an artist who is given fortune, fame, and success, only to discover that it isn't nearly as easy or enjoyable as he had thought, a story that managed to inspire Jim James almost 85 years later. This batch of songs finds James, already a bold lyricist, addressing deeply personal and spiritual questions about the unintended consequences of technology and "trying to make Earth feel like home."
did you know that in 1982 michael jackson invented a beef-macaroni product called "tender-roni" that he references in the song "P.Y.T."???— jim james (@jimjames) April 26, 2013
Regions of Light and Sound of God also manages to leave behind the epic guitar solos and roots rock of his other projects, gravitating towards a futuristic soul sound. It's lush and atmospheric, with dramatic strings and heavy reverb on nearly every track. Still, when you take away the layers of synths and strings, there's nothing but raw talent. He even manages to deliver one of his best vocal performances during the climax of "A New Life."
Whether you're a fan of My Morning Jacket or just curious to hear what space-age soul sounds like, a rare Jim James solo set is definitely worth your time. Enjoy Regions of Light and Sound of God on Spotify for now, then be sure to experience the real thing at LouFest.

The first major fundraiser for The First Tee of Brunswick County raised more than $50,000 for the local chapter.
Played Sept. 23 at The Thistle Golf Club in Calabash, The First Tee Walmart Invitational Golf Tournament pulled teams and individual golfers from Wilmington to Myrtle Beach, S.C. All three Brunswick County Walmart stores sponsored the event, with Brent Guice of the Shallotte store acting as liaison. Walmart is a major national sponsor of The First Tee.
Last week I had the opportunity to chat with Joe Louis Barrow Jr. in the clubhouse of The First Tee of Brunswick County at Cinghiale Creek. For 45 minutes we traded stories of boxing, kids and golf. I know a little bit about boxing since my father had been an amateur boxer in his youth and often enjoyed sparring with me when I was a kid, teaching me the difference between a right uppercut and a left jab.
Joe Louis was his hero, and now I was talking to his son, Joe Louis Barrow Jr.
It doesn't get any better than that.
The Ocean Ridge Ladies Golf Association had an individual match play Sept. 24 at Lion's Paw. The winners were Erma Krahl, Mickie Underhill, Linda Johnston, Maureen Cotter, Ammie Sullivan, Valerie Ratchford, Pam Bank and Doris Fairchild. Birdies: Erma Krahl at No. 16. Chip-ins: Erma Krahl at No. 4 and Ammie Sullivan at No. 8 and No. 10.
The Ocean Ridge Men played their annual match play tournament Sept. 17, Sept. 22 and Sept. 24 at Lion's Paw, Panther's Run and Panther's Run. There were nine flights of eight players each. The final results:
A few weeks ago, as I was grabbing a muffin prior to a Club 25 event at The Lakes, a group of gals from Lockwood Folly collared me and suggested I do a column about heart attacks and women.
They said that a couple of ladies from Lockwood had sought medical help just in time to avert a serious heart attack. What made it interesting was their symptoms were not the usual ones associated with cardiac problems. No chest pain, no pains in the left arm.
Results of the Carolina Shores LGA Club Championship, played Sept. 11 and Sept. 18.
First flight, gross: Judy Nicoletti (151). First flight, net: Phyllis Welch (135). Second flight, gross: Betty Kibblehouse (186). Second flight, net: Bev Farmarco (149). Third flight, gross: Sue Greiner (210). Third flight, net: Nancy Sneska (152).
On Sept. 18, Judy Nicoletti had the fewest putts (25) and low gross (76). Phyllis Welch had the low net (68).
Dottie Russo chipped in at No. 2. Birdies: Dawn Rubin at No. 2 and Judy Nicoletti at Nos. 4 and 7.
In the winter months when it's cold outside, many of us sit in front of our fireplaces and plan trips. I have a suggestion. Instead of thinking of Alaska or far west or a Caribbean Island, why not plan a trip to Quebec for next summer? Then, when the temperature and humidity soars on the Carolina coast, you'll be playing the links in slacks and a sweater.
My husband and I have been to Quebec three times—on our honeymoon, then for a family reunion and just a few weeks ago for a second romantic trip a deux.
The Ocean Ridge couples tournament played Sunday at Panther's Run was a modified Stableford format.
First at -92 was the team of Gordon and Kathy Wicke and Bob and Mary Kish. Second at -80 was the team of Bob Larkin II, Doris McLaughin and Pete and Becky Williams. Tying for third at -76 were the teams of Ed and Di Gruver and Roger and Linda Buck, and Lynn and Beverly Furman and Larry and Diane Wright. Tying for fifth at -75 were the teams of Allen and Judy Keegan and Brian and Toni Roe, and Chappy and Peggy Jones and Bob and Grace Bradicich.
On Aug. 25 through Sept. 1, I traveled with Dalton Gore as his chaperone and caddie to Pebble Beach, Calif., for the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. What follows is my journal account of key events, observations and thoughts.
Tuesday, Aug. 26
Up early and prepare to go to tournament registration. As we start to leave, Gary McCord and Ben Crenshaw are seated at the pro registration table. We are pumped.
Stop by and get our practice times for Del Monte today and Pebble tomorrow. Off to range to hit balls and warm up.
During the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony and reception Aug. 25 in Pinehurst, a young man got up from my table, grabbed a guitar, went to the microphone and sang a song that had everyone laughing out loud.
The name of the ditty was "Triple Bogey with 17 Holes to Play." It chronicled a golfer's agony when he's practiced hard all summer and has a meltdown of epic proportions on the very first hole of play.
Despite a tropical storm watch and the impending arrival of Hanna, golfers got in their rounds of golf Sept. 5. At least four leagues played Sept. 5, the day Hanna's rain and wind first swept through the area.
The Beachcombers played Sept. 5 at Cypress Bay. In the team Stableford format, Bob Devore, Matt Beairsto and Jim Beairsto were first at +3.5.
The low-gross winner was Matt Beairsto (75). Stu Cleveland shot an 81, Jim Beairsto an 88 and Paul Michal an 89.

COVINGTON -- An inmate committed suicide in a holding cell at Newton County Detention Center on Wednesday.
Curtis Lee Warren, 51, of 85 Belmont Trail, Covington was found dead Wednesday evening in a search cell at the jail, where he was waiting to be booked in for probation violation, according to Lt. Keith Crum.
"There was a death of a person in custody here and any time that happens we look over the circumstances and call in an outside agency to do an independent and thorough investigation," Crum said. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is handling the outside investigation, and will present its findings directly to the District Attorney's Office; the Newton County Sheriff's Office is conducting its own internal investigation, Crum said.
"The GBI medical examiner determined the cause of death as hanging and the manner as suicide. Agents from the investigative division will continue to investigate," said GBI Spokesman John Bankhead.
Warren was found guilty of forgery in Newton County court and sentenced to serve part of his time in the work release program, Crum said. He reported to work release on Sept. 14, but his paperwork had not been received from the court and he couldn't be processed; he was instructed to come back at a later date, Crum said.
Warren reported back to work release on Sept. 26 and while he was being processed, it was discovered that the probation office had a warrant out on him for probation violation, Crum said. He was then arrested and transported to the detention center.
"He was in the detention center cell awaiting intake and he expired in the cell," Crum said. "A detention officer found him and immediately started notifications and called for assistance from medical services, a nurse arrived and started CPR and mouth to mouth, EMS was called and arrived and continued to attempt to resuscitate him. He was transported to the Newton (Medical Center) emergency room and pronounced dead. The coroner was notified and is handling the investigation as far as cause and means of death."
Coroner Tommy Davis said, "There was no foul play. His death was caused by his own hand." Crum said Warren was alone in the search cell for about an hour and a half before he was discovered between 8:30 and 8:45 p.m. Warren showed no distress prior to the incident and "he had no known history to us of mental health issues," Crum said.

The investigation by the International Trade Commission demonstrated that there are no significant economic obstacles to a free trade arrangement with the United Kingdom. To the contrary, there would be important economic benefits, not the least of which would be to cement the already substantial economic relationship, as well as serve as an instrument to improve trade relations with the EU. In addition, negotiation of a U.K.-NAFTA agreement could provide an opportunity to remove trade barriers that still exist within NAFTA.

i have this bag and love it. 6'0 and fits me perfectly, as the regular was too small. slept cozy in the teens with a alpine light jacket on.
Awesome price, great bag. Owned mine for a few years and love it, I have the long version as well as I am 6'.A conservatively rated bag, kept me warm into the low 20s with a base layer on, and no doubt would get me into the teens with a light jacket
I've got one of these as well. Great bag at a great price. I agree with the others its conservatively rated.also lowest i've seen them was $154, about 6 months ago. in case anyone cares

An Osterville home is listed among the top 50 homes in America, as determined by Home and Architectural TRENDS magazine. The magazine's latest edition features an Oyster Harbors home designed by Thomas P. Catalano of Catalano Architects in Boston. The award was based on excellence in design, function, product specification and style.
About a dozen Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District members started a review of the program of work for the next five years, Issues regarding street people and public safety drew the most universal comments, and they weren't positive.
With one more retail wine and beer license to award, and the feeling that the Hyannis area is already well served in that regard, the licensing authority was happy to accept last week's application withdrawal by AM PM Convenience Store on Bearse's Way during the April 8 meeting.
Based on the recommendation of a citizen review panel, Town Manager Tom Lynch has accepted a proposal to reuse the Hyannis Armory as the lair of a "Real Pirates" exhibition.

M ost of the attention surrounding the Panthers' offseason changes has focused on receivers. Who's gone, who's new, who's Cam Newton going to throw to? So the Ed Dickson acquisition has pretty much flown under the radar.
After two straight disappointing seasons in Baltimore, the tight end wasn't a hot commodity on the free agent market. But he's flashed a good amount of potential since coming into the league in 2010, making him a potential bargain for thrifty general manager Dave Gettleman. And for Dickson, the one-year contract represents a chance to revitalize his career.
This past weekend, the former Oregon star joined several of his former Ducks teammates to raise money for a Eugene-area Boys & Girls Club. In a Q&A with Andrew Greif from The Oregonian, Dickson admitted he came to Carolina for "a fresh start," but he was also intrigued by the quarterback.
"Who wouldn't want to play with a guy like Cam Newton? He's destined to be great. He wants to win. I'll follow him anytime," Dickson said.
Newton is likely thrilled to have the new follower.
In his rookie year, Newton completed 82 passes to the tight end combo of Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey. That same season, Dickson and fellow Ravens' tight end Dennis Pitta combined for 94 receptions. Dickson accounted for 54 of those catches, totaling 528 yards and five touchdowns. That's the sort of production the Panthers hope a change of scenery will spark.
Carolina lacked a Shockey-like complement to Olsen the last two years, but Dickson could help them add an important wrinkle back into the offense. Earlier this month, head coach Ron Rivera confirmed a desire to play with more two-tight end sets, and the team practiced out of the lineup often during offseason practices.
While Dickson has a chance to contribute immediately, there was something else that helped draw him to the Panthers. It wasn't just a new start and a chance to play with a dynamic, young quarterback.
"I looked at the defense and it reminded me of a younger Baltimore team," Dickson told Greif. "When we were great and in the playoffs every single year doing all these things it reminds me of a young Baltimore. That excites me. When you have a defense like that you can win multiple championships."
As good as the Panthers defense has been and could be, comparing them to the imposing Ravens' units that helped win the 2012 Super Bowl is heady stuff. But it could also be the kind of veteran-inspired confidence that could go a long way in the development of a young locker room.
Dickson also talked to KEZI-TV, repeating his praise of Newton and the Panthers' defense.
Another former Oregon Duck, Kenjon Barner, also spoke with KEZI. The Carolina running back shared a great story about something Newton did before last year's Panthers' game in Arizona.

text: No Man's Sky teased at Spike VGX awards Gaming 08 December 13 by Duncan Geere Honestly, you wait ages for a great-looking procedurally-generated planetary exploration game and then two come along at once.Hello Games, the developer of Joe Danger, has teased its next title by releasing a trailer at the Spike VGX awards for a sci-fi exploration game called No Man's Sky.So far, so Starbound. But from that trailer it doesn't actually look like it mimics its two-dimensional cutesie brethren one bit. It's in full 3D, with random galaxies, planets and planetary surfaces, and seems to focus on ship-to-ship combat.There's swimming, walking, and flying. You can blow remarkably circular holes in asteroids and fly through them. There are giant snake/worms. That's about all we know for the time being.Hello Games' Sean Murray told Polygon: "It's a huge game. We wanted to make a game about exploration. And we wanted to make something that was real."It looks pretty ambitious given that Hello Games is just a four-person team, but if they pull it off then it could be one of the games of 2014. Or 2015, depending on how long development takes. We'll keep you posted with their progress. Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

Strawberry Shortcakes
I had the mother's over last week for a Mother's Day dinner. Since it was such a nice day out, I thought for dinner we should BBQ and for dessert we should have something fresh and fruity! I got this recipe for stawberry shortcakes from my boyfriend's cookbook called 'Betty Crocker's Cooking Basics', my boyfriends mom got this for him before we had met and she inscribed it saying 'A man who knows how to cook can always attract someone to share a meal with!' Looks like it worked on me ;) This recipe was very simple and fun to make. The biscuits were like mini scones cut in half and I served them with sugar soaked strawberries and lots of whipped cream (I also sprinkled a few almond slivers on top for a little something extra). The combination of the sweet strawberries, the soft biscuit and the creamy whippped cream was just perfect.
Strawberry Shortcakes
2 Cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 Cup shortening
3/4 Cups milk
For Strawberries:
4 Cups of washed and cut strawberries
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup water
Whipped cream (and almond slivers) for serving
1) Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2) In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
3) Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two sharp knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
4) Stir milk into crumb mixture and mix until just blended and dough forms (if mixture does not completely moistened, stir in an additional 1 - 3tsp milk)
5) Spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet into 6 equal parts
6) Bake for 10-12min or until evenly golden brown on the bottoms, then let them cool to room temperature (or you can serve them warm out of the oven)
For Strawberries:
7) In a large bowl mix together strawberries, vanilla, sugar, and water and stir until evenly mixed
8) Cover mixture and let sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving, mixing mixture at least once again while in the fridge
9) Cut each shortcake in half and serve with a spoonfull of strawberries, whipped cream (and almonds), then enjoy!
Ninety Minute Sticky Buns
I found this recipe for ninety minute cinnamon rolls on AllRecipes website a few years ago and made them without any alterations to the recipe. They were a good alternative recipe to have for a cinnamon roll but I thought the dough was a bit chewy rather than flakey/soft, so I thought, 'why not make them even chewier and gooier with added stickiness?'. I followed the recipe exactly except for a few sticky alterations. I decided to increase the amount of cinnamon to 1/4 Cup instead of 1 Tbsp and used butter instead of margarine (but I think both work well). I also changed the baking method; instead of using muffin cups, I used two pie dishes with 6 rolls in each.
But before I added the rolls into the pie plates, I filled them with 1/2 Cup melted butter and 1/4 Cup packed brown sugar mixed together into each pan and then placed the rolls on top before baking. Once baked I let the rolls sit in the pans for a few minutes then inverted them onto a plate and ate them warm! These sticky buns were definately chewy, gooey and delicious! They were best right out of the oven or re-heated up the next day with a big glass of milk. Enjoy!
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Nothing is better than a warm chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven! The other week I went over to my girlfriend's mom's house and she served us warm, chewy, and gooey chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven...I ate 6...but who's counting? After that night, I still had a craving for warm chocolate chip cookies all week. These cookies melted down into thin and chewy wonderful treats with a hint of crispiness on the outside, they definately satisfied my cravings.This recipe tastes good either right out of the oven or even a week later with a big glass of milk.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 Cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
3/4 Cup white granulated sugar
2 Large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Cups flour
1 1/2 Cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1) Preheat oven to 350F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper
2) In a large bowl cream together butter and both sugars
3) Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined
4) Stir in baking soda, salt, and flour until dough comes together
5) Stir in chocolate chips, then scoop 1 Tbsp of dough onto prepared cookie sheets and bake for 12min or until edges begin to turn golden
6) Let cool on wire racks for 5min then begin eating cookies warm or store them in an air tight container to enjoy all week!
Vanilla Pudding Cake
My mom used to always make this yummy vanilla pudding flavored cake when I was little and I thought it was so good that it must have taken her all day to make. To my surprise, when I got older, I realized that my mom's awesome vanilla cake was made using a cake mix. This cake is very moist and has loads of vanilla flavor with the hint of pudding too. This is a great go-to cake to have on hand and I definately always use it when I need a fast and delicious cake to whip up!
Vanilla Pudding Cake
1 box golden yellow cake mix
1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 Cup water
1/3 Cup yogurt
1/3 Cup vegetable oil
3 Large eggs
1) Preheat oven to 350F and grease a bundt cake pan and lightly sprinkle with granulated white sugar
2) In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients: cake mix and pudding mix
3) Add water, yogurt, oil, and eggs to dry mixture and stir until evenly combined
4) Beat mixture on medium-high for about 2min until mixture is smooth
5) Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-55min or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
6) Let cake cool in pan for 10min then gently invert it onto a plate to continue cooling, serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Marine's life sentence upheld in prostitute murder
CAMP SMITH, Hawaii (AP) -- The commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces in the Pacific is upholding the life sentence and dishonorable discharge of a Marine convicted of murdering a Las Vegas prostitute in Hawaii.
Master Sgt. Nathaniel Cosby was convicted in April of murder in the 2013 killing of Ivanice "Ivy" Harris in a Waikiki hotel room.
The Marine Corps said this week the case will be reviewed by an appellate office.
Cosby's lawyers argued he killed Harris in self-defense.
Harris was originally from Oregon, visiting Hawaii to celebrate her 29th birthday with her boyfriend, who was also her pimp.
Cosby was in Hawaii on a temporary assignment from Japan.
He's confined at the U.S. Military Disciplinary Barracks in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. It's the Department of Defense's only maximum security correctional facility.
