Canadiens Watch All-Star Weekend

via William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
Canadians tune in when the NHL all-star game is in a Canadian city.
With Montreal as the host, Sunday's all-star game drew its largest television audience since 2000, when the game was played in Toronto.
The CBC telecast was watched by 1.516 million viewers, just less than the 1.557 million who tuned in for the 2000 game.
The CBC drew its largest audience ever for Saturday skills competitions, 1.358 million, bettering 1.327 million in 2000.
added 5:48am, via Sports Media Watch,
Versus drew a 0.8 overnight rating for coverage of the NHL All Star Game on Sunday, up 12% from last year, according to USA Today. While it is tough to quibble with a double-digit increase in ratings, the 0.8 is still very unimpressive. As USA Today notes, "six weekend ESPN/ABC X Games shows drew higher ratings than the NHL All-Star Game."

NHL & Network TV Talk
by Paul on 01/26/09 at 02:19 AM ET

from Ken Campbell of the Hockey News,
The free lunch for NBC is over. That's the message the NHL will give to the network when it begins negotiating a new national television contract to replace the one that expires after this season.
Since the lockout, the league has had a deal with NBC that essentially gave the network its NHL property for free. In a deal similar to the one that the Arena Football League had, NBC doesn't pay the NHL any money, but guarantees that it will cover production costs. Any money made by the broadcasts first goes to covering those costs and if any profits are left over after that, 80 percent go to the league and 20 percent go to NBC.
But that arrangement for NBC is about to end, according to those who are familiar with the league's television contract. With paying customers in the form of TSN and CBC in Canada and Versus in the United States, the league feels it has the leverage to begin charging a national broadcaster for its product.

from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
Plenty of ideas were offered on how to improve the all-star format.
Reporter Scott Oake passed on a proposal by San Jose Sharks centre Joe Thornton, who suggested giving the players a cash incentive. Members of the winning team would not be required to pay into the National Hockey League Players' Association escrow account.
"Then you'd see a game to rival any of the 82," Oake said.
Don Cherry had his own ideas. Give NHL players the responsibility of selecting the all-stars rather than fans. That four Montreal Canadiens filled six of the Eastern Conference starting spots was hardly a realistic representation of the NHL's best, he said.

Watching The Blue Jackets

from Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch,
The numbers (ratings) seem to say a couple of things: Local fans have noticed that this year's team is better than last year's squad, which competed hard but lacked the depth of talent to be in the race, and they're increasingly interested in the good story lines (Benedict Foote), strong opponents (Calgary) and players worth watching (Washington's Alex Ovechkin, whose Capitals drew a 2.35 rating).
If form holds true, the best ratings are going to come after the All-Star break. And if this team continues to trend upward, we might soon discover what a lot of people said nine years ago:
If the Blue Jackets ever have a good team, this is going to be one heck of a hockey market.

NBC Ratings On The Rise
by Paul on 01/23/09 at 10:36 PM ET

via Puck The Media,
We'll this is unexpected. Check out this news from SBD via Sports Media Watch:
Rangers/Penguins, NBC's first Sunday afternoon NHL telecast of the season, drew a 1.0/2 final rating, up 25% from a 0.8/2 for the comparable Bruins/Rangers game last year. Excluding the two Winter Classics, the 1.0 is the highest rating for a regular season NHL telecast on NBC since regional coverage drew a 1.2 in March 2007.
Last season, none of NBC's post-Winter Classic NHL telecasts drew a 1.0 rating.
So far this season, NBC is averaging a 1.8 rating for two NHL telecasts, up 20% from a 1.5 through two games last year.
Good news for NBC, who will likely see another ratings jump from Detroit-Pittsburgh in a couple weeks, which will blow Rangers-Montreal from last year out of the water. The NHL keeps trending up on TV.

Watching The ASG

from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
A few days ago, TSN hockey analyst Bob McKenzie called the NHL all-star weekend a "white elephant" in the sense that it's dull, cumbersome and, as a spectacle, a liability more than an asset.
McKenzie might have tempered his comment if TSN were airing the all-star events, but he is right. The game is a pitiful representation of hockey, a no-contact snoozer that leaves real fans cold.
Hockey Night in Canada's Ron MacLean has suggested replacing all-star weekend with an annual hockey festival with activities that perhaps wouldn't even include an all-star game. Anything would be better than the existing format.

Watching The Sabres

from Kevin of BfloBlog,
Via press release, the Sabres confirmed what their schedule has shown for some time - that the next four Sabres games will not be televised.
"Out of our 82-game schedule, the MSG Network has broadcast rights to 70, and the Versus Network has rights to a maximum of eight," said Larry Quinn, Buffalo's minority owner/managing partner. "As such, we needed to select four games to be radio only. We chose these west coast games due to their late starts."
Very clever, LQ. It's MSG's fault! But you were the one who negotiated the deal with MSG in the first place. You negotiated away the four road games. No city in America draws higher ratings for hockey than Buffalo, but we surely wouldn't stay up past 10:00 to watch our team, right?
(I'm sure it has nothing to do with cost though…)
But not to fear, we at least get them on the radio, right?
Um, kinda'.

The delicious taste of KFC is a result of both our world-famous heritage and appreciation of local palate.From signature recipes and processes, product innovations,all the way to a deeply loved gravy, KFC Philippines continues its commitment to serving up dishes and moments that ar... (See all)
DON'T EAT HERE DURING LUNCH HOURS! I waited 30 mins in line! Service was very slow. Perhaps because the cashier ladies were also the ones to prepare your order 😓😓😓
Always packed during lunch hour. Come before 12pm or after 1pm.
If you want to avoid the lunch rush, get here before 1130am.
Their Double Downs are the craziest meals they have ever offered.
With the messiest floor among he FA(s)T Food restaurants.
This KFC branch is poorly maintained. The place reeks of stale water and cleanser.
I dunno why are they returning Chicken pattie again. This is the worst meal I ever tasted here.
Mashed potato and soup. Gravy. Chicken. No more other than these. And, slow service. Although they have these separate queueing for order takers and serving them.
Slow service, unfriendly crews... very small store, instead na dine in tinake out nalang ung food kc walang available space... needs a lot of improvement...
The manager/supervisor should at least have a pleasant (read: not disheveled) appearance and a smile when taking people's orders.
Grabe sa bagal ng staff!! Grrr
The crew are good but the time of service freaks the hell!!!!!
Not a good idea to come close to clising time as food can sometimes be cold.
That bbq shredder meal was so disappointing. Oh well.
Don't eat here during lunch break. Their crew will rush everything and next thing you know, there's still rice at the back if your spoon.
They don't serve breakfast here. Go to KFC dela Rosa instead.
Never go here between 11am-1pm... Lunch rush hour
Long queues and super tagal ng service.you even have to follow up your order kasi natabunan na ng ibang orders..haha
If you're in a rush, don't go here weekdays lunch time.
Garden salad for dinner. Yummy!!
Open 24 hours. Love the wrap.
Ang pinakamabagal magserve na branch ng KFC everrr!
Get chocolates or cheesecake for desserts at nearby Cheesecake, etc. or Chocolate Fire after a hearty chicken meal!
You can never go wrong with Asian Chicken Salad!
Get the California Maki Twister! Its so good! ^_^
Don't ever dine here at around 11:30 to 12:30 noon. You'll ruin your day waiting...
gross KFC ever!!!!
Try the Chicken Burger
After eating, tempting deserts to die for are a thrill! Cheesecake, etc. on the left Chocolate fire on the right! Yum yum!
The place is newly renovated. Lighting has improved.
This branch is always closed during Sundays

About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.
This is a beautiful true coral with a slight golden sheen. It reminded me of Revlon's Peach Parfait lip butter, but this had more juicyness and less shimmer (Revlon's pretty dry and tossing some glitter in there doesn't really compensate). Gorgeous spring/summer color.
EDIT: this is definitely brighter and more pigmented than Peach Parfait. It actually creates a stain on me, which I love to wear with a clear gloss. This looks SUPERB on me with a tan. Reminds me of the hot coral (yet natural?) vibe of Bobbi Brown's blush in Apricot. Another summer favorite.

It�s a bright coral-pink with a golden sheen, but definitely not as bright as Impassioned and Show Orchid. It has just enough brightness though to make a statement. The creemsheen formula glides effortlessly on my lips and feels very moisturising. It brightens up my face and looks lovely and natural, not �in your face� in the slightest.

This is my absolute favourite HG everyday lipstick! My best friend was wearing it and looked great in it and I asked to try it and fell in love. She bought it for me as well! <3 It is good all year round for her lovely Malay skin and my Chinese sometimes-tanned-sometimes-pale skin. Lovely coral pink colour. More coral than Fan Fare. Moisturizing and lasting.

This is a very unique, soft, coral-pink shade. It's bright, but can still be appropriate for professional situations, and brings out all the warmth in my face!
It is a bit drying though, (I recommend putting a rich balm underneath), but otherwise, it's a lovely shade that will look great on warm skintones, from alabaster, to buff, to olive, to honey.
It makes your lips look juicy, kissable, and very date-appropiate, and it HARDLY comes off on anything!!! Not even joking..it sticks to your lips, not your coffee cup.

A make up artist applied this on my sister's lips for her wedding and it looked lovely.
But that's because she used a base and lipliner all over the lips before applying. If you have very pigmented lips, it looks awful because it's not very pigmented and it needs a pure colour to look good. When I tried it on, it looked yuck. Too much work!

Of all the lipsticks I own this is my #1. It's my absolute favorite. I imagine this coral pink lipstick would look amazing on a wide range of skin tones. I have very dry lips and this doesn't make them dry or peel.

Seriously impressed with this colour! It wears like dream, doesn't budge once on the lips, and can be applied straight from the bullet. I will be wearing this to death over spring and summer as it is such a bright but wearable shade. Is is just me or do Mac lipsticks taste like white chocolate!?!?

This color is amazing on my tan NW35 skin. On me, this is an everyday color that is not too bright (I swipe on a few layers straight from the tube and pat it in a little w/ my finger). I have extremely pigmented lips with a blue undertone that pretty much gives every lipstick I put on a slightly purple hue which is incredibly frustrating and I had given up on finding a lipstick that actually looked pink on me until this one. There is enough orange-y tones in this to counteract/mask the blue undertones but enough pink that it still appears pink on my lips.
Cremesheen formulas aren't the most long lasting so I have to reapply quite often and I'm not really a fan of the vanilla scent of Mac lipsticks, but the color definitely makes this a winner to me.

LOVE it. The formula is nice and creamy and pigmented. I'm usually a red gal, but this is my favorite pinkish color. For reference, I'm NC25-NC30 and half Filipino.

Ten movies so bad that they're good
Published: Friday, December 9, 2011 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 5:41 p.m.
Anyone can make a bad movie. Hollywood proves that every week. But it takes a special kind of talent to churn out a flick so cheesy that the lactose intolerant need a note from their doctor in order to see it.
Such movies are so bad, they're good. They have it all: Overacting? Check. Ridiculous plot? Check. Atrocious dialogue? Check.
These 10 best-worst movies are surprisingly and inexplicably fun to watch.
1. 'Over the Top' (1986)
Rarely has a film been so aptly named. Trucker Lincoln Hawk (Sylvester Stallone) is on a mission to bond with his 12-year-old son, whom he abandoned, and win a big arm-wrestling contest in Vegas. The slow-motion shots of Stallone's contorted face during the contest ... well, it's like something out of "Wild Kingdom." Where is a tranquilizer dart when you need one?
2. 'The Last Dragon' (1985)
Leroy (Taimak) is on a quest to become a kung fu master. He will know he has reached this status when he glows. That's right. Glows. His chief rival is the "Shogun of Harlem," a gang leader whose wardrobe rivals Lady Gaga's. This movie is not so much kung fu as kung phooey.
3. 'The Next Karate Kid' (1994)
"Karate Kid III" was such a stinker that somebody must have yelled, "Let's girl it up!" A young Hilary Swank takes over the franchise as Julie, a teenager angry about her parents' death and harassed at her school by karate thugs. Isn't every school crawling with those? Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) steps in to help and says things like, "Miyagi has much to learn about girls. Boys easier." In addition to such pearls of wisdom, there's also a pet hawk, monks and, funnily enough, very little actual karate. But that's OK. It's not like "karate" is in the title or anything.
4. 'Mac and Me' (1988)
When an unmanned space vehicle sucks up an alien family and brings them to Earth, the littlest one hides out with a single mom and her two sons. It takes way too long for them to realize an alien is living with them. You want to shout, "He's beside you! Don't you have peripheral vision?!" The product placement is hilariously blatant. Really, which scenes DON'T involve Coke and McDonald's? To top it off, the aliens are ugly. It's like Yoda crossed with E.T. and a turtle.
5. 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' (1958)
These are some persistent aliens. Eight plans to rule the Earth have failed, but they're hopeful Plan 9, involving bringing the dead back to life, will be a winner. The flying saucers look like they're about the size of an actual saucer, and this Ed Wood cult classic contains perhaps the worst voiceover ever. When people keep turning up dead, one officer asks if the flying saucers might be to blame. "Your guess is as good as mine," another answers. Ah, well-aged cheese.
6. 'The Blob' (1958)
Steve (Steve McQueen) tries to warn officials that an ever-growing blob is rolling up on people and killing them, but they do not take him seriously. It's not like police forms have a spot for "killer blob" after all. The blob looks like a big ball of strawberry jam, so it's not scary, but it may make you crave breakfast food afterward.
7. 'The Wizard' (1989)
Runaways Corey (Fred Savage) and younger brother Jimmy (Luke Edwards) go on an adventure with Haley (Jenny Lewis), an independent girl whose trucker father apparently lets her roam the Earth. When they discover Jimmy is a whiz at video games, they decide to travel many miles to Los Angeles so he can compete in a contest worth $50,000. On their tail is the boys' father (Beau Bridges) and older brother (Christian Slater) as well as a private investigator who couldn't find a glass of milk at a dairy farm. This film gets the high score in utter ridiculousness.
8. 'Frogs' (1972)
At an eccentric millionaire's swampy estate people start croaking left and right. There are a variety of natural-born killers here. Tarantulas, snakes, alligators and even a huge turtle (yes, a turtle) exact their revenge on the clueless inhabitants. But what of the frogs? Well, close-up shots of them are shown throughout the movie, but they do not unleash their bug-eyed fury until the final act.
9. 'BMX Bandits' (1983)
BMX bike fans Judy (Nicole Kidman) and a couple of boys pedal into a mess of trouble when they discover a stash of walkie-talkies that bad guys plan to use for a heist. As the inept criminals try to get their property back, the teenagers embark on a series of chases that include a water park, an escalator and countless cars that need to be jumped. Top that, Tour de France!
10. 'Die Laughing' (1980)
When a scientist is killed in the taxi of cabbie/singer Pinsky (Robby Benson), he is blamed for the murder and flees ... to his apartment. They'll never look for him there. What the bad guys are after is a monkey that knows a secret formula. Guess who ends up with that little guy? Yep, Pinsky. The best bit of this screwball comedy is that Pinsky's band is in a singing competition and in between dodging bad guys he still manages to perform. Now that's dedication. Let's see those "American Idol" contestants do that.

Most California Biomedical Companies to Maintain or Add Jobs in Next Two Years, According to New Report
La Jolla, Calif. (Vocus) February 2, 2010 -- The biomedical industry is one of the most recession-resilient sectors in California's hard-hit economy and a critical driver of innovation, job growth and revenue that will help lead the state to economic recovery, according to a report released today by the California Healthcare Institute (CHI) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). But, the report points to signs that the California biomedical industry is facing unprecedented challenges and that its biomedical leadership is being tested as other regions compete for biomedical research and manufacturing jobs.
As part of the report, in November 2009 California Healthcare Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers commissioned a survey of 200 of the state's leading biomedical employers about their outlook for the industry and the key challenges and opportunities it faces. Based on employment trends, the survey found that the sector is holding steady and positioned for future growth, but it remains to be seen how much of that growth will take place in California.
Key findings of the survey are:

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Two Charged In Theft Of Civil War Artifacts John Brown's Rifle Among Items Worth Millions, Sold For $8,000
A janitor at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is accused of stealing John Brown's rifle, Gen. George Meade's sword and hundreds of other Civil War-era relics worth up to $3 million and selling them to a collector for a few thousand dollars.
In the last decade, Earnest Medford, 48, sold more than 200 such items to George Csizmazia, the FBI said Tuesday.
The two men were charged with theft of major art. They could each get up to 10 years in prison. They were released on $100,000 bond each.
At a news conference, authorities displayed a table loaded with 19th-century swords, rifles, gunpowder boxes and uniform items.
Artifacts taken included a sword given to Meade after the Battle of Gettysburg and a rifle used by the abolitionist Brown during his 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
U.S. Attorney Michael Stiles said the case represents a theft from every American.
"They educate us in ways that books and mere words cannot," Stiles said of the artifacts. "We must do all we can to protect them."
Medford met Csizmazia when the electrician did work at the historical society, according to court papers. Csizmazia paid Medford $7,000 to $8,000 for the items, which were worth $2 million to $3 million, the FBI said.
The society, which has a collection of about 12,000 items, did not notice anything missing until November, when an inventory revealed that a rifle made in 1780 and four swords, including the $350,000 Meade blade, had disappeared.
"This is a very emotional day for all of us at the historical society," said president Susan Stitt. "We are shocked and saddened that one of our own, a 20-year staff member and good friend, has been charged."
The FBI was led to Csizmazia, 56, after they visited a collectors show in Richmond, Va., and learned a dealer had been approached by a collector with a sword that may have been from the society's collection.
The dealer later identified Csizmazia, who admitted receiving items from the museum, according to court papers.
A search of his home turned up the artifacts, most of them wrapped and stored in closets or under beds, the FBI said. Although about 100 items are still missing, agents don't believe Csizmazia sold any of them.

Agile development, a software development methodology that has been making inroads in the federal government in recent years, could get a big boost from the impending era of budget austerity.
"Clients want to see results within a six-to-nine-month timeframe, if not sooner," said Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president at CGI Federal, speaking at the March 29 panel at the Acquisition Excellence conference in Washington, D.C.
Agile development, used by agencies such as the General Services Administration and the Defense Department, allows continuous development, accumulative releases of capabilities, and tight-knit collaboration between developers and users. The purpose of this modular approach is to ensure that IT initiatives are completed fast, on deadline and on budget, all elements of increasing importance amid crunched budgets.
Agility also plays a part in the White House's effort to innovate and harness technology to help build a better government. When U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel announced his "Future First" plan, he mentioned how the public sector had learned to adapt its business models to leverage new technologies, including agility.
Campbell said her firm responds frequently to congressional mandates in supporting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services where a substantial part of the activity involves legislative mandates that say the end date doesn't change but requirements are moving and evolving through that whole process.
"Agile will allow us the flexibility to continue to develop in that environment and be able to come to the end results in a timely fashion with the appropriate solutions," she added.
At the Veterans Affairs Department, strategies to stretch the agency's budget include standardizing and consolidating its spend, said Jan Frye, deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and logistics. Part of that effort, he said, is the Fredericksburg, Va.-based Strategic Acquisition Center, which works with VA customers to identify opportunities to standardize or to combine VA's spend.
"We have to attempt to buy like Walmart does – buy by the trainload instead of the carload," Frye said. That approach, however, he stressed, doesn't mean that VA is giving inferior products but instead is working to identify how it "can get a better deal for the taxpayers so we can support the veterans the way they deserve to be supported."
When agencies are asked to do less with less, officials have to determine which programs or functions get eliminated from the equation. That could be particularly challenging at agencies such as DHS "where I have not found a single program that isn't delivering some value to our operators in the field," said Dr. Cedric Sims, executive director at DHS' Office of Program Accountability and Risk Management.
Smart purchasing is "very important," Sims said, and DHS is looking at enterprise purchases and capabilities across the department and how it can leverage its spend agencywide.
"In the aggregate, it means we're doing less but the reality is that we're doing the better things we need to do to work across the enterprise," he said.
The American Council for Technology Industry Advisory Council and GSA hosted the Acquisition Excellence.

Massive open online courses can offer specialized IT instruction on a flexible schedule and on the cheap. That may not always mesh with government's preference for structure and certification, however.
The federal government craves more cybersecurity professionals. These six schools are helping meet that demand.
VA has over 100 ongoing projects, all of which deliver releases to customers in six month or less increments. Some of them are using Agile with 2 week sprints. You can do real agile in government.
The definition of the word agile becomes important when discussing 6-9 month delivery cycles. Agile development life cycles mean continuous delivery of "finished" products for evaluation by the end-user and stakeholders. However, in many cases that is not possible in the Federal Government. It is possible to develop IT using traditional waterfall SDLCs but incorporating 6-9 month "measurement intervals". Therefore creating an "agile" waterfall approach, and being able to keep closer control over a waterfall project management approach.

White Sox Show No Mercy at HoHoKam Park
Paul Konerko drilled two solo home runs, and Adam Dunn slugged a two-run home run off the White Sox team bus parked next to the Budweiser Party Pavillion beyond the RF fence, as the White Sox defeated the Cubs 8-3 this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park, in what is the Cactus League version of the Crosstown Classic.
The Cubs got on the board first against White Sox LHP Jose Quintana, scoring a run in the bottom of the 1st inning. David DeJesus and Nate Schierholtz both ripped line-drive extra-base hits over the head of Sox CF Dewayne Wise (DeJesus a lead-off double and Schierholtz a one-out RBI triple), somewhat surprising because both DeJesus and Schierholtz tend to struggle versus LHPs.
The White Sox came back to score single runs in the 3rd & 4th innings off Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva. Gordon Beckham slugged a one-out RBI double that bounced over the fence in right center to drive-in Jared Mitchell (who had reached base on a lead-off bunt single) for the Sox first run, and then Paul Konerko slugged a lead-off solo HR over the LF fence in the 4th.
Villanueva worked four innings (53 pitches - 37 strikes, 5/3 GO/FO, 0/3 BB/K) and generally worked fast and threw strikes, but he also surrendered six hits and had runners on base every inning. He fits the profile of a rubber-armed utility pitcher, someone who doesn't exactly shut-down the opposition, but who can keep his team in the game by throwing multiple innings, either as a starter or as a reliever.
RHP Barret Loux took the hill for the Cubs in the 5th and threw a shutout inning and even collected a line-drive single himself in the bottom of the frame, but then he was pulverized for five runs (all earned) in the top of the 6th inning.
Jeff Keppinger laced a line-drive double to CF to lead-off the 6th, and scored on Adam Dunn's two-run dinger. Paul Konerko then went back-to-back with Dunn, hammering his second long fly of the game over the LF fence. Dayan Viciedo struck out, but then Alexei Ramirez bounced a single to center and Tyler Flowers smoked an RBI double off the CF "Green Monster" Batter's Eye to finish Loux's day. Zach Putnam relieved Loux and allowed a single and a sacrifice fly before recording the third out of the inning.
Loux was named the 2012 Texas League Pitcher of the Year after going 14-1 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP, 41/100 BB/K and 120 hits allowed in 127 IP for Frisco, and was acquired by the Cubs as the replacement for RHP Jacob Brigham, who had been acquired from Texas in the Geovany Soto trade last July. Brigham was found to have a pre-sxisting elbow problem that eventually required Tommy John Surgery, and so after the season Brigham was returned to the Rangers, and the Cubs got Loux instead. He will likely be in the AAA Iowa starting rotation on Opening Day.
Carlos Marmol entered the game in the top of the 7th, and had control issues. He was all over the place, and allowed an unearned run on one hit and two walks (plus a WP), and was pulled from the game after recording only two outs. If Tiger scouts were watching, they probably weren't impressed.
The Cubs offense finally woke up and scored two runs in the bottom of the 9th off Leyson Septimo (who left the game with some type of injury with two outs and two strikes on what could have been the game's last hitter) and Jhan Marinez, and actually threatened to score more.
Jorge Soler worked a lead-of walk, and Christian Villanueva followed one out later with a two-run HR over the LF fence (his second homer of the Spring). Then with two outs, Brad Nelson walked and Javier Baez crushed a double (near HR) off the left-center fence, but Steve Clevenger bounced out 3-U to end the game.
This is the second year in a
This is the second year in a row I've missed this game - spring training was my routine for years. Last year it was a protest vote - they were just too sucky. This year I wanted to see some of these young stud muffins like Baez and Soler. But work got in the way. C'est la vie. Hopefully next year they'll have even more young guys to look at - I especially enjoy early spring training games because of the playing time of the kids.

Recent comments
listening on ESPN 1000, caller says Bill Welke will be the home plate ump today. Supposedly his reputation is for having an even bigger strike zone than last night's Phil Cuzzi. Some of the issues with bad umpiring come from an inconsistent strike zone. Hoping at least for consistency. Last night's called strike on David Ross was outright embarrassing for Cuzzi.
That might work out in favor of Kyle Hendricks, who benefits much from a large strike zone.
it's kind of mesmerizing to watch
should Theo add some Ted Abernathy videos for minor league pitching coordinator's use?
sadly, Ted passed away in 2004 from complications of Alzheimers. I always loved the Cub bullpen trio of Phil Regan, Ted Abernathy and Hank Aguirre. As a kid, I even worked on both Phil Regan (very quirky delivery) and Ted Abernathy (extreme submarine) imitations when throwing a rubber ball against a wall. It wasn't a good imitation unless I could scrape my knuckles off the ground. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for submariners.
HAGSAG: Chris Pieters was sent to instructs to develop his hitting, bunting, and outfield play (he is already a decent first-baseman).
Pieters is tall and rangy , a "long-strider" in the same mold as Trey Martin and Rashad Crawford. He is a very patient hitter (unusual for a hitter with his lack of experience) and has an outstanding (almost uncanny) eye at the plate, and he is a fast runner with unusually good baserunning instincts, and he is a good basestealer, too.
I doubt we will see Pedro in any more "high leverage" situations this series. With Hendricks and the pen today, we need Bryant-Rizzo-Castro to get going ASAP.
One funny thing to see before the game was the two submariner pitchers (David Berg and Corbin Hoffner) playing catch with each other. Both pitchers throw "submarine" even when they play catch, and it's kind of mesmerizing to watch, even for the other players.
CUBSTER: One of the points of emphasis at "basic" Instructs this year was teaching the position players the art of baserunning and base-stealing, like getting a good primary and seconday lead, reading the pitcher, cutting bases sharply, and different ways to slide to maximize the baserunner's chance to arrive safely.
Brooksbaseball.net has some interesting stats/graphs on pitch and strike zones and you can dial up individual games/pitchers. I'd love to see some comments from readers who can interpret this better than I can. I thought the Ump was really inconsistent with a very wide zone. Does this info seem to match up with my eyeball perception? Also, looking at the graphs, Lackey was not throwing as many pitches below the K-zone (certainly more above) while Lester was clearly getting his pitches down and not many above.
As I was fearing in my post yesterday, Maddon keeps trotting Strop out against the Redbirds and he constantly fails. I understand the psychology behind this, but in a series where there is a finite lock on who moves on, why does he keep riding the wrong horse?
AZ Phil: Agree, this must have been a really fun game to watch. There was a lot of base stealing going on. Are the pitchers not holding runners or is the catching still a work in progress?
Cuzzi has long been known as having the biggest strike zone among all umpires.
AZ Phil, give me a scouting report on Chris Pieters since he has become a 1B/OF.
I think it's probably hard to adjust to an ump's zone mid-game, as least for hitters. Pitchers can locate to an ump's zone, but hitters have minimal time to react.
But, whatever. Umps are going to miss calls. Let's beat up on the non-Lackey starters.
Watched a little of Mets-Dodgers.
Jason deGrom -- oh, my.
Cubs 3-4-5 hitters are 0-21 so far in the post-season.
Let's change that in a big effin' way tomorrow, boys.
Considering how players reacted it seemed pretty accurate high and wide (to righties), but not so accurate low and in. I thought the strike zone by the ump was awful, but it was consistent and the Cubs never adjusted.
Rizzo and Bryant need to have good at bats. They are really looking outclassed in these two games.
that game sounds fun as hell.

Principal component plot of Y-SNP. (A) PC plot of all the population samples. DC (green stars) is closest to MP (purple crosses) and TA (blue crosses). All of the other groups including ST, HM, AA, and AT (red spots including triangles, squares and diamonds) are rather far removed from MP and TA, which indicates that DC is the only group that might be related to MP and TA. (B) PC plots of pooled samples. The ST, HM, AA, and AT samples were pooled according to the linguistic families. The DC samples were pooled according to the sub-families. MP and TA samples were pooled according to the geographic locations. Ethnic groups: AA, Austro-Asiatic speakers; AT, Altaic speakers; DC, Daic speakers; HM, Hmong-Mien speakers; MP, Malayo-Polynesian speakers; ST, Sino-Tibetan speakers; TA, Taiwan aborigines.

Hewlett-Packard Co. has launched a new web site, Pronq.com, where businesses can try five software products before they buy.
Hewlett-Packard Co. has launched a new web site, Pronq.com, where businesses can try five software products before they buy.
"We saw an opportunity to differentiate HP between traditional sales models," says Caroline Tsay, HP's vice president of web and e-commerce. The five programs initially offered represent just a small selection of HP's software selection, Tsay says.
HP Home & Office Store, HP's consumer-facing e-commerce business that sells it printers, computers and accessories, is No. 23 in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500.
HP launched Pronq.com in December. Tsay did not comment on traffic to Pronq.com, but says 85% of those using the site represent new business for HP. The site has a long way to go before it rivals the traffic to HP.com. Pronq.com ranks 187,460 among U.S. web sites, while HP.com is No. 284. HP has been working with marketing consulting firm DemandGen International Inc. to build traffic to the new site through online advertising, search engine marketing and industry events. Though HP is marketing Pronq's software primarily to smaller companies, Tsay says it also can be useful for a small project team at large enterprises.
The five products offered on Pronq.com are:
The software offered on Pronq.com is delivered via the web, a model known as software as a service that frees client companies from hosting and maintaining the software in their own data centers.
Customers can register on Pronq for free and try out any of the five programs, but currently have to go through a salesperson to complete a purchase. HP has plans to add purchase orders and e-commerce capabilities to the site and eventually will accept credit cards, Paypal and wire transfers. "We want it to be accessible," Tsay says.
