Moses' Return Provides Huge Boost to Offensive Line
By Jeff White (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Offensive line coach Scott Wachenheim is entering his fifth year at the University of Virginia. After coaching the tight ends in his inaugural season with the Cavaliers, Wachenheim took over the offensive line in 2011.
All five of the 2011 offensive line starters have received their bachelors degrees from Virginia with one, Luke Bowanko, having also earned his masters. Additionally, four of the offensive linemen will be a part of NFL rosters when the 2014 season opens. 2014 third round pick Morgan Moses will be with the Washington Redskins, 2012 fifth round pick Oday Aboushi will be with the New York Jets, while 2014 sixth round pick Luke Bowanko and Austin Pasztor will be with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In 2013, Wachenheim saw his offensive line pave the way for UVa's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2004, Kevin Parks. Moses was an All-ACC performer and participated in the NFL Combine and Senior Bowl.
In 2012, Wachenheim's efforts helped UVa's offense pass for 3,000 plus yards for the third consecutive season. The first time a UVa offense had ever accomplished this feat. Additionally, Aboushi was selected first-team All-ACC as well as being picked to compete in the NFL Combine and Senior Bowl. On the other side of the line, Moses earned honorable mention All-ACC honors.
In 2011 Wachenheim had the unique experience of having all five players on the offensive line start all 13 games together. That group helped fuel an impressive Cavalier running game. Virginia rushed for 2,107 yards, the highest total since the 2004 campaign. The continuity showed in the passing game as well as UVa finished the year ranked No. 24 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed per game (1.23).
Senior offensive guard Austin Pasztor was a named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press and first-team All-ACC, while Aboushi was a second-team All-ACC pick. Wachenheim's players picked up ACC Lineman of the Week honors five times during the season for their performances.
Prior to coming to Virginia, Wachenheim spent the 2009 campaign as the tight ends coach with the Washington Redskins. During his lone season in Washington, Wachenheim helped with the development and emergence of tight end Fred Davis who had 48 receptions for 509 yards and six touchdowns in place of All-Pro Chris Cooley, who was lost with a season-ending injury.
Wachenheim first came to the Commonwealth in 2006 where he spent three seasons (2006-08) as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Liberty in Lynchburg, Va., under former UVa associate head coach Danny Rocco. Prior to the 2007 campaign, Rocco increased Wachenheim's responsibilities, naming him assistant head coach.
As the offensive coordinator at Liberty in 2008, the Flames went 10-2 on the way to a second straight Big South Conference championship, while averaging 33.7 points and 446.7 yards per game. The latter total ranked ninth in the Football Championship Subdivision and marked the second year in a row Liberty led the conference in total offense as they averaged 429.6 yards a game in 2007, while scoring 42.6 points per contest.
Highlighting Wachenheim's offense during his three years at Liberty was three-year starting running back Rashad Jennings, a seventh round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2009 NFL Draft. A Walter Payton Award finalist and consensus first-team All-America selection, Jennings set Big South career records for rushing yards (3,633), attempts (633) and touchdowns (42).
Prior to his days with the Flames, Wachenheim spent 12 years as a member of Ken Hatfield's coaching staff at Rice in Houston, Texas. He spent the last five years with the Owls as offensive coordinator.
Wachenheim helped Rice build a dominant ball control offense which ranked among the nation's best during his tenure.
During the 2004 season, Rice led the nation in rushing offense (306.5 yards per game), and the Owls' 2003 squad ranked second in the country, racking up a school record of 3,800 rushing yards. In 2001, Wachenheim's direction enabled Rice to break the school record for points scored (333) and total offense (4,846 yards).
Prior to joining the Rice staff, Wachenheim served as recruiting coordinator, offensive tackles and tight ends coach at Utah State (1992-93). He culminated his tenure at the school with a Big West Conference title and a Las Vegas Bowl victory in 1993.
Wachenheim got his collegiate coaching career started in 1984. After graduating from the Air Force Academy with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, he served as offensive coordinator of the Air Force Academy's junior varsity squad. He then went on to complete his military requirements.
Wachenheim returned to the coaching ranks at Arkansas in 1989-90, helping the Razorbacks to a Southwest Conference championship and a Cotton Bowl invitation. Additionally, Wachenheim earned his master's degree in athletic administration from the school in 1991.
Wachenheim spent the 1991 football season at Colorado under the leadership of head coach Bill McCartney, helping the Buffaloes win the Big 8 Conference championship and earn a berth in the Blockbuster Bowl.
As a player, Wachenheim was a four-year starter (1980-83) on the offensive line at the Air Force Academy. He earned first-team All-Western Athletic Conference and honorable mention All-American honors his senior year. The 1983 Falcons finished with a 10-2 season record, were ranked second in the nation in rushing offense, and were tabbed as the nation's 13th-ranked team overall.
A native of Woodland Hills, Calif., Wachenheim and his wife, Karla, have two sons: Kyle and Tyson. His son Tyson is a tight end at Christopher Newport University.

Backstop Backups
Time for that Player A, Player B, Player C contrivance, using the average of the five different 2009 projection systems available at FanGraphs.
|Player A
|Player B
|Player C
Player A also has 13 Gold Gloves, 12 All-star Game appearances, an MVP award and a World Series ring.
Player B also has... well... uh... A Funny Middle Name. He's 7 months younger than player A, too.
Player C also has... well... uh... A Funny First Name. And middle name. He's hurt just a bit in this comparsion because he's so incredibly anonymous that he didn't get included in Bill James' projection system, which usually has a tick or two higher offensive projections than the other four projection systems.
If you haven't figured it out yet...
Player A is Ivan Rodriguez, who is coming off a brilliant first round of the WBC and claims to be close to signing a major league contract. We don't know with whom.
Player B is Paul Gabor Bako.
Player C is Koyie Dolan Hill.
I know who I'd like to see as a mentor and backup to Soto.
Re: Backstop Backups
let's see what Pudge signs for first and what kind of playing time he was promised (btw I'm guessing the Mets).
And he doesn't bat left-handed, so you know, he doesn't count to the Cubs.
I fear your new table making powers.
Re: Backstop Backups
he's also not much of a catcher aside from his arm.
here's pudge calling a game...
1- don't talk to your pitchers
2- don't watch tape
3- have a quick talk with the coaches about who can hit what
4- throw the fastball sign to the pitcher 90% of the time and wait for delays of game while the pitcher shakes him off for another sign 1/2 the time
without his bat he's just a guy with a good arm who doesn't care much about learning his staff. he's been good enough to get away with it crutching on his amazing arm and above-average bat. now he's just got his arm.
Re: Backstop Backups
Here's the results of Pudge catching a game.
Over the last 7 years an average ERA .13 runs lower than his teams' total for the season and by BP's metric 44 runs better than the average catcher defensively, which doesn't account for intimidation of the running game.
Re: Backstop Backups
The question I have is how much that .13 runs is worth. crunch is right that he's a guy who has struggled in the relationships that he's had with his pitching staffs.
Yes, you've shown the numbers are there, but that still doesn't mean they don't get pissed because they have to shake him off all the time because he calls a retarded game.
That's not really what I'm after in a backup catcher to play 40 games. I also believe that was the main reason that the Cubs didn't bring Henry back, right? They weren't pleased with his handling of the pitchers.
Re: Backstop Backups
The reason that the Cubs didn't bring White back is that they expected him to want to earn approximately the same money he did last year, which wasn't in the budget.
"Yes, you've shown the numbers are there, but that still doesn't mean they don't get pissed because they have to shake him off all the time because he calls a retarded game."
If their ERA's are lower when he's catching, how is that being retarded? Shaking him off would seem to be the retarded move.
Re: Backstop Backups
You talk about CERA as if it is actually worth something.
Re: Backstop Backups
Re: Backstop Backups
Blah... you are using it over a single season, and then taking the average of those single seasons. You are not analyzing seven years of data as one sample, you are analyzing single seasons and then averaging them. Not the same.
And even still ... over 7 seasons, it is pretty worthless. There are too many outside factors that impact ERA that get in the way.
Further... the research around CERA that I have seen is that there is no significant affect from catcher to catcher on ERA. Including from the same source (BP) that you cite for Pudge's defense.
Here are a couple of telling quotes:
Though we would colloquially say that game-calling doesn't exist, it's more accurate to say that if there is a true game-calling ability, it lies below the threshold of detection.
For now, at least, the hypothesis most consistent with the available facts appears to be that catchers do not have a significant effect on pitcher performance.
Re: Backstop Backups
" you are using it over a single season, and then taking the average of those single seasons. You are not analyzing seven years of data as one sample, you are analyzing single seasons and then averaging them. Not the same."
This is true, but you should make a point when writing that much. You're probably sharp enough to realize that if you add up the seven seasons, he's still going to have a lower CERA. I also didn't compare him to the other cathers on his team. If I did that, the contrast would be much greater, because Pudge has the propederance of innings.
"And even still ... over 7 seasons, it is pretty worthless. There are too many outside factors that impact ERA that get in the way."
This you just pulled that out of your ass.
"Further... the research around CERA that I have seen is that there is no significant affect from catcher to catcher on ERA. Including from the same source (BP) that you cite for Pudge's defense."
And here is a classic case of reading, but not comprehending. What Woolner is talking about is game calling, not CERA. Pudge's effect on the base running, is outside of Woolner's studies. Therefore using it to refute the validity of CERA as a metric, makes no sense. You could use it to refute the argument that Pudge is a bad pitch caller, though.
Re: Backstop Backups
i think the whole point is you're using a really horrible stat to prove your point.
whether it's true or not you can't say what caused it with any certainty. that's the bigger issue.
Re: Backstop Backups
This you just pulled that out of your ass.
Umm... not quite. The number of innings with different pitchers, the quality of hitters faces, the quality of pitchers caught, the quality of defense, the ball park, etc, etc, etc.
I am not sure what you are trying to say... that there are not too many outside factors to ERA?
And here is a classic case of reading, but not comprehending.
I know exactly what Woolner was talking about... it was that catchers have little significant affect on ERA.
And maybe you missed the very clear second quote. I will give it to you again:
For now, at least, the hypothesis most consistent with the available facts appears to be that catchers do not have a significant effect on pitcher performance.
But go ahead and ignore that one.
So why don't you show us all of these articles that actually believe that CERA is a worthwhile stat.
Re: Backstop Backups
"If their ERA's are lower when he's catching, how is that being retarded? Shaking him off would seem to be the retarded move"
Not if they have been shaking him off and because of that his ERA is lower. I have no idea if this happens or not, but if it does then it would seem that his ERA is lower because pitchers have been predominantly calling their own games.
Re: Backstop Backups
That was my point. Thank you.
If we're chasing a backup catcher, let's get somebody who can actually fucking catch a pitching staff without putting a big rift in our clubhouse. That's such a minute position in terms of importance that, to me, it's just not worth getting somebody who has the potential to piss off the staff.
Re: Backstop Backups
So the theory is that they're shaking him off, and not shaking off the backup catcher?
Regardless, the pitchers are still going to have a lower ERA with Pudge behind the plate, than whoever his backups have been.
Re: Backstop Backups
You mean like last year with the Yankees when Pudge's CERA was 18.99 and Jose Molina's was 3.70?
Or in 2002 when Rodriguez's CERA was 5.22 and his illustrious back-up - Bill Haselman - had a 5.06 ERA??
Kind of like those years?

Re: Backstop Backups
the cheap isn't as much of an issue as Pudge probably wants to play more than 30 games. But if we can land Pudge as a backup, I also suggest seeing if we can get Bonds and Frank Thomas as pinch-hitters for the bench.
Re: Backstop Backups
Sayeth Pudge:
"They've been talking to us and you guys know one of the things, what it is (playing time). I'm ready to play. To be honest with you, I'm in good shape. To be honest with you, I just want playing time and I think if that happens I'm going to have a great year."
"I'm ready to play. I'm ready to play everyday. I think i still can play everyday at a high level. It doesn't matter what happened last year. Last year is over, and I'm ready."
Somehow I'm doubtful that Pudgey Pudge is the right fit. I'd love him as (cheap) backup, though.
Re: Backstop Backups
I'm sorry to have given you the shocker. Unless you liked it.
Again, I'd love Pudge (only on the cheap), but it seems like he'd probably have the least amount of playing time if he's with the Cubs, unless, as he says he's willing to, he plays some 1B and 3B too. Don't the Mets have two better catchers than Pudge already? San Diego has a bunch of shitty catchers, he should go there.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sat, 03/14/2009 - 10:09am.
let's see what Pudge signs for first and what kind of playing time he was promised (btw I'm guessing the Mets).
And he doesn't bat left-handed, so you know, he doesn't count to the Cubs.
ROB G: The Cubs achilles heel in 2009 is if anything bad happens to Aramis Ramirez and/or Geovany Soto. With Mark DeRosa gone, there is no credible Plan "B" at 3B if A-Ram goes on the DL for a while, and Bako or K. Hill are (at best) back-up guys, so if Soto goes down, the Cubs are stuck.
If Soto goes on the DL for an extended period, the Cubs would have to overpay for a Jason Kendall-type replacement. Pudge would be a more-credible Plan "B" at catcher than Bako or K. Hill, but only as long as he would accept a back-up role and RH PH gig. Plus, Soto really shouldn't be catching 140 games anyway.
The Cubs wanted to get "more left-handed" in 2009, but they kind of overdid it, and they are now so left-handed that when a lefty starts against them and Reed Johnson plays CF and Aaron Miles plays 2B, the Cubs will have five left-handers on the bench (Bako, Fontenot, Fukudome, Gathright, and Hoffpauir) and no RHPH, so it actually would be a good thing to have a RH hitting back-up catcher like Pudge instead of Bako.
To help pay for Pudge, the Cubs could release Paul Bako before his contract becomes guaranteed and save $580K (after paying him his $145K severance) and Chad Gaudin prior to Opening Day and save at least $1.5M (presuming he signed a non-guaranteed contract, which he probably did).
If they release Gaudin before next Saturday, the Cubs are on the hook for only $333K, and if the Cubs wait to release Gaudin until sometime during the 15 days prior to Opening Day, the Cubs are on the hook for $500K. If the Cubs have a chance to sign Pudge, they should do it.
Now, Pudge might want more regular-type playing time than he would get backing up Soto, but that could be offset by Pudge knowing that he will be playing for a lgitimate contender.
Also, Pudge and Geo are both members of Team Puerto Rico, so that could make a potential back-up role with the Cubs more comfortable.
Re: Backstop Backups
yeah, I was kidding about the left-handed bit, it's one of the stupidest Cubs plans in recent years. But yeah, losing Soto and the Cubs are kind of f****.
But I really don't think Pudge wants to wait for Soto to get hurt to see if he'll play.
Re: Backstop Backups
This talk of Soto reminded me of 1989, when Damon Berryhill (257/291/331) got injured and was replaced by Joe Girardi (248/304/341) with Rick Wrona (283/299/391) backing up.
At least Berryhill could throw (over 40% CS), but none of them hit at all.
Re: Backstop Backups
unloading Vizcaino's $4M somehow (it's possible if the Yankees or Mets need more bullpen help) could also go to towards Pudge as 3B-1B-C-PH backup. He could also bring his statue up from Miami and put it in the dugout.

He could also bring his statue up from Miami and put it in the dugout.
CUBSTER: Even if the Cubs have to pay $2M of Vizcaino's 2009 salary, adding that $1.5M savings to the $2M the Cubs would save by releasing Gaudin & Bako (making it a $3.5M total) should be enough for Pudge, with the only issue being whether he would accept a back-up role.
And as far as 3B is concerned, Soto was signed by the Cubs as a third-baseman, so Soto (rather than Pudge) would probably be the better Plan "B" option there, as long as the Cubs have somebody like Pudge (rather than Bako or K. Hill) available to catch if Soto needs to plays 3B. Soto also played a lot of 1B at Iowa in 2006-07.
Re: Backstop Backups
Personally, I'd rather keep that money free in case the Cubs decide they need more pitching help or an upgrade at, say, SS come mid-season. We had a bit of a luxury for awhile in having Blanco as a backup, but Koyie Hill can be decent enough. Pudge would be great, but I just don't think he'd be cool with sitting even 75% of the time.
The Hubris of Having Gabor
If it were as simple as changing your mind, Hendry would for the first time have to show the ability to change his mind.
Maybe I'm channeling Manny here, but if Jimbo chooses Bako over Pudge, fire his ass. I'm frankly sick of his overpaying for mediocrity and tunnel-vision bullshit.
Re: Backstop Backups
about all this pudge stuff...
if the guy worked with pitching staffs rather than treating his role as a catcher similar to how a SS/2nd treats his game he might have work.
i wouldn't let the guy near a young staff, myself. without his bat he's just not that attractive.
Re: footynoot
I'm guessing that'll mean Soto 7th. Idiot.

I definitely hang around here looking to reply to your comments as noticed by my nearly year long absence.
there's a fine line between posting something relevant, useful or at least humorous versus posting something irrelevant, useless or unfunny...actually it's rather quite a thick line and easy to see for most people not named crunch.
I certainly am digging the RISP machine Zobrist version.
Cubs are taking advantage of bad D by their opponents -- did it a few times in PIT and the Nats botched 2-out rundown leads to 3 Cub runs in the 8th. Which were nice to have.
I hope Kyle had fun at the dance party -- he was terrific.
i hope he's getting more consideration for the 2-slot vs lefties, too.
I hope we can dispense with the Zobrist RISP concerns.
Is this heaven?
They call me Schwarberino because I'm basically Ruth,
and as long as we're rapping I'm gonna tell you the truth:
This team would be even better if I wasn't laid up;
we'd win the World Series, the Superbowl, and the Stanley Cup.
As long as we're at it, I'm putting the Premier League on notice.
Hell, if I were healthy, Epstein could run for POTUS.
My busted knee's even sadder than this presidential kerfuffle,
but my first rehab assignment will be the World Series Shuffle.
I am avoiding grading papers.
With Mutton on the DL now, does Victorino finally get to Iowa?
Chat ... is happening.
I agree completely with Dusty. I appreciate him much more as the Nats skipper than as the Cubs.
so, what you're saying is you keep bringing up something over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over like you did with this issue for years back in the day...and obviously still into today...
...but that's fine if you do it.
brb, forming my next dozen replies for why you should shut up and never say anything about it again...oh wait, no i'm not because i'm not hanging around looking to tell you to shut up about repeating the same thing over and over and over and over...
Heyward looked fine shagging flies in BP. Wouldn't surprise me to see him in the line up tomorrow.
this seems like it could be an interesting series...parachat worthy.

holy shit, really? I made the comment because I had just discovered this novel trait that Dusty possesses.

queue depth
Queue depth, in storage, is the number of pending input/output (I/O) requests for a volume.
Performance-demanding applications can enough generate storage I/Os to create queue depths in the hundreds. Adding more spinning hard disk drives can be somewhat effective in improving response time, but the cost of the drives can negatively impact the budget and all those extra drives will take up physical space in the data center. Solid-state drives (SSDs), on the other hand, have virtually no latency and respond almost instantly to I/O requests. In some cases, a single SSD can eliminate a queue depth that would take hundreds of hard disk drives to service.

Red Sox 10, Diamondbacks 3
PHOENIX (AP)—It's no coincidence that J.D. Drew hammers the Arizona Diamondbacks.
He wants to maintain bragging rights over his younger brother, Stephen, who plays shortstop for Arizona.
Extending his dominance of the Diamondbacks, Drew hit a pair of three-run homers and drove in a career-high seven runs as the Boston Red Sox routed Arizona 10-3 Friday night in the Red Sox' first regular-season visit to Chase Field.
Drew picked up where he left off last season, when he battered the Diamondbacks as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He batted .412 (28-for-68) with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 18 games against Arizona.
"I think there's always going to be that sibling rivalry going on," Drew said. "He does well, I want to do better. That's maybe a little bit to do with it. But you've still got to get pitches and you've still got to put good swings on them, and it's worked out well."
Drew's eruption provided plenty of support for Josh Beckett, who improved to 9-0. Beckett matched his season high by going eight innings, allowing two earned runs and five hits without a walk. He struck out eight, also matching a season high.
Unlike Drew, Beckett had struggled against the Diamondbacks. He went 0-3 with a 6.97 ERA in four starts against Arizona while with the Florida Marlins.
Beckett has tied the fifth-best start in franchise history, matching Sonny Siebert, who won his first nine decisions in 1971. The best start is Roger Clemens' 14-0 in 1986.
"I'm on a great team," Beckett said. "I can't take all the credit for being 9-0. These guys have done an unbelievable job behind me."
On Friday night, Drew did the most.
It took Drew six innings to double the number of home runs he hit in his first 50 games since signing a $70-million, five-year contract with the Red Sox last winter.
With two on and two out in the third, Drew hit Doug Davis' (4-7) first pitch 416 feet into the left center field seats to give the Red Sox a 4-0 lead.
Drew hit another three-run shot in the sixth—this one to the right field seats against reliever Edgar Gonzalez.
"He's a great hitter, and it was a big night for him," Beckett said. "The other guys pitched in too. You can't hit three-run homers if nobody's on base."
Drew also doubled home a run in the eighth off Gonzalez.
"It was fun to watch him swing the bat like that," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "The team got directly rewarded. He was a lot of our offense tonight, and we need that long term."
Red Sox Nation turned out for Boston's first regular-season appearance in the desert. And their team gave them plenty to cheer about from the start.
Julio Lugo led off the first by driving a 3-2 pitch from Davis 408 feet into the left field bleachers, drawing a roar from the throngs of Red Sox fans who invaded Chase Field. It was Lugo's second leadoff homer of the season and the ninth of his career.
Davis allowed five runs on six hits in four innings, his shortest start as a Diamondback. He walked five, matching a season high, and struck out two.
"Doug didn't have his best stuff, his best command early," Arizona manager Bob Melvin said. "With Beckett on the mound, you give him a lead like that, it's not a real good recipe."
Before the game, Melvin denied that the series with the Red Sox was a measuring stick for his young club. But the Diamondbacks didn't look like they belonged on the same field Friday night.
"We didn't come out to play today, and we have to come out and play better against a team like that," first baseman Conor Jackson said. "We need to come out tomorrow and show we can play with a team like that."
With their visit to Chase Field, the Red Sox have played in all but three current major league parks—Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park, Houston's Minute Maid Park and San Diego's Petco Park. … Arizona 3B Alberto Callaspo fell victim to a hidden-ball trick in the third. After beating a throw to second base, Callaspo stood to dust himself off, pulling his left hand off the bag. Lugo, standing behind him with the ball in his glove, made the tag. "Lugo just kind of slipped behind him," Beckett said. "I was actually back there trying to get him to throw me the ball. I'm glad he didn't throw me the ball." The last time the Red Sox pulled the trick was May 13, 1991, when Steve Lyons caught the White Sox's Ozzie Guillen at second base. … Eric Byrnes' RBI single in the third extended his hitting streak to 15 games.

Greene County casino rolls 3 to 1 at polls
Wild Rose, local economic development leaders now poised to seek state gaming license
By DOUGLAS BURNS
, Staff Writer
Greene County Supervisor Guy Richardson (left) and Greene County Development Corp. president Norm Fandel, two of the more visible leaders of Grow Greene County, a pro-casino group, celebrate Tuesday night after learning the results of the gaming referendum.
Jane Heun, Greene County auditor (left), hands the write-in results to Greene County Supervisor Guy Richardson and SmartVote political consultant Marcia Rogers.
August 7, 2013
Greene County voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a gaming referendum, setting the stage for a licensing application with the state and potential development of a casino/entertainment complex in the Jefferson area.
The measure to allow gaming for up to eight years in the county passed 75 percent to 25 percent - with an unofficial vote count of 2,905 to 964 with a 57 percent turnout. The referendum earned strong support throughout the seven precincts in the county. Heavy absentee voting went in favor of the referendum, 77 percent to 23 percent, 1,201 to 349.
"I'm just thrilled," said Guy Richardson, a Greene County supervisor who helped lead the pro-casino Grow Greene County organization. "I was an outspoken advocate for this because I really believed in my heart that this is very, very good for Greene County."
Richardson said proponents, who are working with West Des Moines-based Wild Rose Entertainment on a casino/hotel/convention center, plan to model a Jefferson complex after the one the company operates in Emmetsburg, the Palo Alto County seat. The Jefferson gaming-and-entertainment complex is expected to provide more than 250 jobs, an annual payroll of $6.5 million to $7 million and over $2 million each year to county non-profit organizations and local tax coffers.
"We did our due diligence," said Richardson, a Jefferson Republican. "We went and we looked at Emmetsburg. We really examined what's happened up there and the successes they've had and the fact that they've had none of the ill effects that people were afraid of. I am just thrilled that we got that message across to the voters and the voters agreed with us and overwhelmingly passed this vote tonight."
The referendum is a major first step in the proposed casino development. But it doesn't seal the deal. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission must approve the plan for Jefferson as well.
Brian Ohorilko, administrator of the commission, said in an interview this morning that the regulatory body plans to conduct a market analysis of gaming in Iowa to determine if, and where, "under-served" areas for legalized gambling exist. The commission is expected to review that study at a March meeting and determine whether to issue more licenses beyond one planned in Linn County, home to Cedar Rapids, Ohorilko said.
The five-member Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission must cast a majority vote for a license to be issued to the non-profit working in conjunction with a casino operator. Iowa currently has 18 state-regulated casinos.
Richardson is optimistic about Jefferson casino's fortunes with the commission.
"I truly believe that the Racing and Gaming Commission is already very intrigued by this location - and certainly the fact that we passed this by this margin is going to be impressive to them, and I think it's going to say to them that this is a good location for a casino," Richardson said.
Ohorilko said community support is one factor the commission considers in making a decision on licensing. Greene County officials could file an application at any point now. Ohorilko said the vetting process takes six to nine months, and that the commission likely will not act on any applications until it reviews the statewide market study.
Richardson said the casino/entertainment complex will define Greene County as a destination, adding to amenities like the bell tower and bike trail.
"There are just a myriad of things that people come to Greene County to see," Richardson said.
Norm Fandel, president of the Greene County Development Corp., which backed the referendum, said the casino is a big component of economic momentum in the region.
"I think moving forward this is just another enhancement to our community," Fandel said.
He said the plan is for Wild Rose to work with Wisconsin-based Cobblestone Inn & Suites on the development. No locations have been released, but development officials say the casino will be in Jefferson to take advantage of the proximity to U.S. Highway 30 and Highway 4.
"We're feeling great about this," Fandel said. "We got a high turnout in the vote. It's a high percentage. I think it's where we need to be in taking that message down to the gaming commission. It's a great added venture to Greene County."
Marcia Rogers, principal with the Cedar Rapids-based political consulting organization SmartVote, said a thorough get-out-the-vote ground game, with strong local support, built a winning campaign.
"We felt that we needed to reach out to voters and make sure everyone was educated," Rogers said. "That doesn't happen with one hit. By one hit I mean mail, one piece of mail, one phone call. You have to do things multiple times because people's lives are busy."
SmartVote has now been involved with successful casino initiatives in Linn County in March as well as Clinton and Burlington in 2010. SmartVote also advocated for the Lyon County and Riverside casinos.
James O. Andrew, a spokesperson for No Casino Greene County, said his organization is disappointed with the results.
"We understand that a democratic process was taken and the answer came back loud and clear," he said.
He thinks the disparity in dollars spent was a major factor in the outcome.
"We all know the biblical story of David and Goliath. Last night we rewrote the Bible and Goliath won," Andrew said.
He added, "We're offended by the idea that $5,000 of local money is put against over $50,000 outside dollars."
Casino advocates registered a political action committee, Grow Greene County, with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board in May. Those opposing casino gambling registered in July as No Casino Greene County.
According to reports filed with the Ethics board, as of July 19, Grow Greene County had $52,511 in donations. Of that total, $51,435 came from Wild Rose Entertainment. No Casino Greene County, as of July 15, reported donations $5,760, all of which has come from Greene County residents.
Andrew said he'd like to see Racing and Gaming officials put a limit on how much money can come from outside groups in these referendums.
He also stressed a conciliatory tone.
"Some people were hurt, and it will take time for wounds to heal, but they will heal, and we'll go back to being the nice town we always have been," Andrew said.
"It's time to bury the hatchet, to go on in a peaceful nature, to be the nice people we've always been."

Startup:Education is a not-for-profit grantmaking organization established in 2010 by Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan to improve access to high-quality education for all students. We are a supporting organization of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and an affiliate of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. We were founded on the core beliefs that a high-quality education is the gateway to opportunity, that great teachers are central to that effort, and that no smart, hardworking students should lack the resources they need to be successful.

To this end, we are supporting traditional district and public charter schools, as well as a number of innovative organizations working more broadly to increase high-quality school choices, foster student development, leverage technology in the classroom and reimagine the school model to truly prepare students for the 21st century.
Startup:Education launched in September 2010 with a 5-year gift of $100 million to improve education in Newark, New Jersey. This commitment focused on improving the quality of teaching and learning in Newark for all of its public school students, supporting the expansion of high-quality district and charter schools, and implementing sustainable, systemic change to improve public education for all students.

in response to 0018HI dont know if this helps, but my old iPod touch 3G (32gb) running OS 3.1.2 always freezes up on me.
It either freezes while im doing something on it, or it dims while im not using it for a while, but freezes like that.
I always press the home button and/or the power button to see if it actually froze, and if so, I just leave it there until it eventually crashes and returns to the lock screen or the homescreen.
So I suggest, just let it fix its self, if it shuts down wait to see if it powers back on before you do anything, even wait 10 minutes like I did the first time around.

Well that is what happens in my case - it locks up and eventually shuts down and powers back up. That needs to get fixed, though, I'm not really crazy about having my phone out of commission for several randomly distributed 10-minute intervals every day...
I'm going to try getting help at the Apple store today, most likely.
Airship 89 Jul 5, 2010 8:51 PM
in response to Airship 89Update:
I got an appointment at an Apple Store today and had one of their techies look at the iPhone. He pulled up the crash log and said that since many of the crash reports on the phone were affecting base-level apps (messages, phone, ipod, etc.) there was probably some corrupted data from my having restored the phone from my old (1st-gen) iPod Touch.
Since I had everything backed up and didn't mind, he went ahead and wiped the phone in-store (apparently an in-store reset can wipe the phone cleaner than doing it yourself through itunes?) and gave it back to me, saying to try using it for a few days without restoring it through iTunes (I.e. telling iTunes that it was a new iPhone and letting all of my music/apps be synced 'fresh' instead of from a backup.
It's only been two hours since then, so I can't tell yet if that worked, but no new crashes so far... I'll add an update later on the effectiveness of this 'fix.'
mbounny2 Jul 6, 2010 5:21 AM
in response to Airship 89Hello - does anyone know whether apple will exchange my device (which has the same problem as everyone else on this thread) irrespective of the fact that I got my device on a "pay monthly" contract with Vodafone?
Simon L2222 Jul 7, 2010 12:17 AM
in response to mg1167I also have the problem of this phone shutting down over night but it seems to be temperature related. The phone shuts down even in mild cold as if I keep the phone in its case it stays on but out the case it shuts down and this is a joke as its summertime and the nights are mild but I think the phones metal case makes it really sensitive to temperature

I believe they will. An apple-branded phone is an apple-branded phone regardless, so the warranty still applies. Regardless of your wireless provider, though, it's up to them how they "fix" the problem - so don't be surprised if they want to update your firmware or reset your phone (which could work, of course) before they just ship you a new one.

if you're sure your problem is temperature-related, I'd go ahead and take the phone in for support...
My phone's problem definitely was not temperature related... So far I still haven't had any crashes after the Apple technician reset the phone to factory settings, so I'm hoping for the best!
mbounny2 Jul 7, 2010 8:57 AM
in response to Airship 89Hi guys
Thanks for the tips. I've tried both restoring from backup AND restoring to factory settings and nothing worked. The phone still goes into a coma if I leave it idle for about 15 mins and the only way to wake it up is to hold 'lock' and 'home' buttons for 10 seconds, release, and press again for 10 seconds. Hopefully Apple will exchange it when i visit them soon..
mstudney50 Jul 7, 2010 2:50 PM
in response to mbounny2I posted my comments earlier on this topic... here is where i landed:
I returned my iPhone 4 to AT&T last week. I tried giving the Genius bar a chance to diagnose my device.... but because I showed up 2 minutes late, and they tried to check me in 4 minutes after I got there, my appointment was cancelled! A 5 minute cancellation policy is arrogant in my opinion... They offered to me the next spot that "opened up".... but apprently they were busy dealing with similar complaints.
So after waiting an hour for an opening, I decided to leave (after telling the "genius" my exact plans, which I understand, he could not control)... I went across the mall to an AT&T store and received great customer service from a great partner of Apple's (watch out Verizon, opening up your network to the iPhone could crush your reputation). Within 5 minutes, I had a full iPhone 4 refund and my iPhone 3GS was re-activated.
Coincidentally, another customer came into the AT&T store 3 minutes after I did and executed the same exact transaction and re-activation after expeiencing the same exact thing as me.
I am a loyal customer, but within a year's time, the competition will close the gap even further and may entice me to think about my other options.... which as of a few days ago, I would have never considered.
Good luck all!! Here is to hoping for a higher quality iPhone 5!
Nick Pincott Jul 7, 2010 3:16 PM
in response to 0018HI had a similar experience. My IP4 worked well for the first week, and then with no other symptoms just started to shut itself down after having been used for a few minutes. It would then reboot itself, but would shut down again a few minutes after trying to use it again. I took it to the Apple Store where the manager tried to restore it for me. That failed. Another guy tried to restore it and that failed. I had to make an appointment to see a Tech which they couldn't do until the next day. I took the phone home and tried to restore it myself. It went most of the way through and then said an error (1004) had occurred. I took the SIM card out and set up my old IP3G.
When I saw the Tech the following night, she tried to restore it but was unable. Came up with the same fault code (1004) which she admitted she had never seen before. She did say that this was only the second phone (IP4) she had had to replace. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad. Anyway, they have given me a new phone and so far so good, but I have only had it for just over 24 hours so far. I'll let you know if it crashes again.

in response to mbounny2Well, it definitely sounds like some of us are having different problems than others... As an update on my phone's problem, the iPhone was crashing roughly 3-4 times per day, regardless of whether or not it was being used. It would just freeze, or refuse to wake up, and then eventually either reboot or I'd do a hard reset.
Happily, my phone is now fixed. I took it in to the Apple Store where they checked through the crash logs, restored it to factory settings (I heard that just resetting the phone in iTunes doesn't wipe it as "clean" as the Apple techies do?), and instructed me not to restore any backups to it, but just to tell iTunes that it's a "new iPhone." Re-syncing all my apps/music/contacts was fine, of course. Since then, it's been 3 days and no issues!
Simsonic Jul 8, 2010 10:27 AM
in response to Airship 89I traveled to Northern Cal for four days, where it is hotter than here in San Diego, and the phone had no problems. Now that I have been in San Diego for the past two days, the phone has died over night both times. It just goes to sleep when I am sleeping and I have to do a hard reset to get it back. It may be temperature related, but I don't know, and my girlfriends phone does not have the same issue, although it has been in the same environments as mine. The first week the phone would only shut down erevy few nights, now it happens all the time, so I am doing a clean install, like Apple Care suggests, and I will let you all know if that works for me...
Lelle32 Jul 8, 2010 10:47 AM
in response to Ian BankerI've had my i-phone since oct last year no probs. Downloaded the new software yesterday and today the 'black screen of death". Had a panic but read about pressing the home and on/off button together for a few seconds and it worked - thank goodness! Was worried it was a problem with the device but after reading all the stuff on here, it's clearly the software with a glitch.
Simsonic Jul 9, 2010 4:27 PM
in response to Lelle32So far so good. I pluged my iPhone into the most recent version of iTunes and restored it. I didn't restore from a backup, but I restored as a new phone. My phone has been working like clockwork since. I think there might be a glitch when you restore from the iPhone 3gs, but I am not sure. As long as it stays on and doesn't shut off I am good. It looks like the problem is solved for me, so I suggest you all try the same thing. Good luck.
chasingmuses Jul 15, 2010 10:36 AM
in response to mstudney50I too had a bad experience trying to fix this same issue. I called apple's tech support twice. The first time I was told to do a Restore and call back if that didn't work. I was told if a Restore didn't fix the problem, they would make a note on my account so that I could receive a replacement (as that would indicate the device was defective and it was in my 30day period). I called back when the restore did not work so they could make the notation on my "case number." Both times I was told I could return the product to either an AT&T store or an Apple store and all I would need to do is give them my case number. I went to an AT&T store and was initially told that not all AT&T stores accept returns and to call Apple from the store so the confusion could be straightened out.
I called Apple, and was told they could do a mail exchange BUT it would be a REFURBISHED phone. I'm sorry...I did NOT wait for 2 hours in line for a $300 phone (32gb) to be told I have to accept a REFURB! That is ridiculous! Luckily, the manager of the AT&T store is a friend...and pulled a few strings to do an exchange even though it was not normally done at that location. BTW, the Apple rep said nothing about if I could get a new one if I went to an Apple store location....but all things considered...the poor customer service on Apple's product during a 30day purchase time frame was extremely frustrating.
Simsonic Jul 16, 2010 10:29 PM
in response to SimsonicIt's been two weeks now without a problem. Do the restore as a new iPhone and the case is solved. Good luck to all...

The yield on DubaiвҖҷs 6.396 percent Shariah-compliant notes due in November 2014 jumped 76 basis points last week to 6.40 percent Oct. 7, widening the premium over MalaysiaвҖҷs 3.928 percent bonds due in June 2015 to 337 basis points, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The spread rose to 353 basis points on Oct. 4, the widest since March 16, as investors see double the risk of Dubai failing to make repayments than Malaysia, credit-default swaps show.
The sheikhdom racked up $113 billion of debt to transform itself into a tourism and commercial hub, according to the International Monetary Fund, almost defaulting in 2009 and receiving a $20 billion bailout from nearby Abu Dhabi.
Emerging- market bond funds saw record capital outflows in the week to Sept. 28, data compiled by research firm EPFR Global show, and yields on developing-nation sovereign debt jumped the most since 2008 in September amid concern the European debt crisis will spur a global recession.
вҖңDubai names have been punished in recent days on account of a growing sense of risk aversion,вҖқ Ahmad Alanani, the head of fixed-income sales for the Middle East and North Africa at Exotix Ltd., said by e-mail on Oct. 4.
вҖңThat said, I believe that Dubai is on the right path to recovery given the successful restructuring of its major government-related entities and the concerted de-leveraging effort we are witnessing by way of asset sales.вҖқ
Default Swaps
Nakheel PJSC, the government-owned builder of man-made islands off DubaiвҖҷs coast, issued 3.8 billion dirhams ($1 billion) of bonds that comply with IslamвҖҷs ban on interest to its contractors and suppliers in August as part of a $16.1 billion restructuring deal.
The developerвҖҷs former parent company, Dubai World, reached an accord with creditors to restructure about $25 billion of debt in March after roiling world markets in November 2009 when it asked for a standstill.
Jebel Ali Free Zone FZE, a business park owned by Dubai World, must pay 7.5 billion dirhams when its Shariah-compliant debt matures in November 2012.
DIFC Investments LLC, a unit of the emirateвҖҷs tax-free business financial center, has $1.25 billion of sukuk due in June.
The sheikhdom will support its вҖңstrategicвҖқ investments, including those needing debt refinancing, after restructuring about $25 billion this year, Mohammed Al Shaibani, director of the Dubai rulerвҖҷs court, said in a Sept. 22 interview in Washington.
вҖҳConfidence IssueвҖҷ
вҖңItвҖҷs basically a confidence issue,вҖқ Ahmad Najib Nazlan, a deputy treasurer at Kuala Lumpur-based Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd., said in an interview Oct. 6.
вҖңMalaysia, as the biggest sukuk market in the world, has better credit ratings than Dubai,вҖқ he said, adding the recent restructurings of debt in Dubai has also weighed on market sentiment.
The cost of insuring DubaiвҖҷs debt against default through five-year credit default swaps jumped 23 basis points to 537 basis points on Oct. 4, the highest level since March 2010.
The contracts fell to 503 on Oct. 7, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
Default swaps on MalaysiaвҖҷs debt, which is rated A3 by MoodyвҖҷs Investors Service and A- by Standard & PoorвҖҷs, the fourth-lowest investment grades, declined 22 basis points last week to 178.
The South-East Asian nationвҖҷs economy will grow 5.2 percent this year, while DubaiвҖҷs will expand 2.8 percent, according to the IMF.
Malaysia accounted for 66 percent of total outstanding Islamic bonds in 2010, or $94 billion, according to a March report by the central bank.
Rising Yields
Global sales of the bonds, which pay asset returns to comply with IslamвҖҷs ban on interest, climbed to $18 billion in 2011, compared with $11.8 billion in the same period last year, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Persian Gulf sukuk have declined 1 percent since the end of June, according to the HSBC/NASDAQ Dubai GCC US Dollar Sukuk Index, in which DubaiвҖҷs Shariah-compliant debt has the second- highest weighting. Non-Shariah emerging-market bonds dropped 1.4 percent in the period, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.вҖҷs EMBI Global Composite Index.
Foreign-currency Islamic debt sold by companies and governments in Malaysia returned 0.1 percent, the Bloomberg Malaysian Sukuk Ex-MYR Index shows.
вҖҳExaggeratingвҖҷ the Risk
The yield on DubaiвҖҷs sukuk touched 6.60 percent on Oct. 4, the highest level since February. The yield dropped to 6.40 percent on Oct. 7, and is 192 basis points higher than the average for Islamic bonds in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., the HSBC/NASDAQ Dubai GCC US Dollar Sukuk Index shows. The yield jumped 20 basis points last week to 4.48 percent on Oct. 7.
вҖңInvestors are exaggerating DubaiвҖҷs risk,вҖқ and the sukukвҖҷs yield will probably fall when they see a solution to EuropeвҖҷs debt problems, Samer Mardini, the Dubai-based vice president of fixed-income and Islamic financial products for the Middle East and North Africa at SJS Markets, wrote in an e-mail on Oct. 5.

I combined the dressing ingredients together for this recipe, gathered the salad ingredients, then realized I did not have a can of black eyed peas. The dressing was already made, other ingredients chopped, so I decided to sub a can of chickpeas for the black eyed peas. The dressing is so good in this that I do believe you could use any kind of pea or bean you wantin this salad. Allowed to marinate a few hours in the frige to combine the flavors, this is one awesome salad. I loved the use of the mint and would not leave it out. The combination of colors and flavors is wonderful. I used only one large clove of garlic and felt it was plenty. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe, JanuaryBride!
This is quick and easy to make, and used ingredients I had readily on hand...always a plus! I think it tasted better after sitting overnight, but really liked it more at room temperature than cold. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT Challenge.
Very good - actually the 1st time I've made a BEPea salad! I did not include the mint as I don't care for the flavor too much, but I didn't miss it. Thought the flavor was great and DH loved it chilled, while I liked it better at room temperature. Thanks for posting this quick and easy recipe, I'll be making it again. Made for ZWT7 AFRICA and the HOT PINK LADIES!
We really enjoyed this colorful, flavorful salad last night. I followed ingredients/directions as posted and included the mint. I used seasoned salt as you suggested for the dressing. This was really good. I'd make it again. I doubled the ingredients to make more salad with no problems. Thanks! Made for ZWT7
I'd never tried black-eyed peas before, and this was a wonderful way to try them. The lemon and parsley gave it a light fresh flavor- often bean salads can feel heavy, but this one doesn't. I skipped the mint (don't care for it) and the tomatoes (not in season), and added some chopped orange bell pepper for color and crunch. Thanks for a great lunch salad! Made for ZWT7, Emerald City Shakers
I found this even better the next day. I used freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, also a little extra white sugar, grape tomatoes, flat leaf parsley, no mint either plus the rest! Made for Veggie Swap 26 ~ September 2010.
So easy to make, tastes great and can easily be made ahead so it is great for parties and get togethers. Loved it.

Climate Friendly Cities, Trailblazing eJeepneys
iCSC took on the challenge of closing the "green loop" in transportation when it launched the electric jeepney revolution in July 2007. We have since marked a series of milestones: the first domestically manufactured eJeepney (2008), the first official registration papers issued to electric jeepneys (2008), the first public routes dedicated to electric public transport, called the Makati Green Routes (2009), the first electric vehicle charging station (2009) and the first e-vehicle battery-swapping program (2011). iCSC formed the private consortium which received the first commercial eJeepney fleet franchise in 2012.Know more...

Tait Sorensen
Thank you for joining our Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results conference call. We hope that this new time-table for earnings release and conference call is helpful. We have also decided with this change to combine both the investment community and press participants on one call to share our commentary and answers to your questions altogether.
Hosting the call today is Carlo Bozotti, ST's President and Chief Executive Officer. Joining Carlo on the call today are Jean-Marc Chery, Chief Operating Officer; Carlo Ferro, Chief Financial Officer; Georges Penalver, Chief Strategy Officer; Carmelo Papa, Executive Vice President, General Manager of the Industrial & Power Discrete Group; and familiar voice to the media, Claudia Levo, Corporate Vice President External Communication.
This call is being broadcast live over the web and can be accessed through ST's website. A replay will be available shortly after the conclusion of this call. This call will include forward-looking statements that may involve risk factors that could cause ST's results to differ materially from management's expectations and plans.
We encourage you to review the Safe Harbor statement contained in this press release that was issued, and also in ST's most recent regulatory filings for a full description of these risk factors.
Also to ensure all participants have an opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A session please limit yourself to one question and a brief follow-up.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Carlo Bozotti, ST's President and CEO. Carlo?
Carlo Bozotti
Thank you, Tait. And welcome to our Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call. For the benefit of all, the agenda today includes a review of our financial highlights and of our two product segments, further details on our product groups within the segment, and then our outlook for the third quarter.
So let us begin. Our quarterly results were well-aligned with our guidance. Revenue came in at the midpoint of our outlook of 2% sequential growth. Gross margin was 34% above the 33.6% mid-point of our range improving both quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year.
Operating expenses were again, we're on track with our financial model and we return to a net profit at the bottom line. We also further strengthened our capital structure and significantly enhanced our financial flexibility to boost growth with the $1 billion convertible debt offering completed in July, which will be visible in our third quarter balance sheet.
ST simultaneously launched a buyback program for 20 million shares in order to meet the company's obligations in relation to its employee stock award plans. Moreover, we returned capital to our shareholders with the payment of a quarter dividend of $0.10 per share or $90 million in the aggregate.
Turning to the second quarter results in more of that, revenues came in at $1.86 billion, up 2.1% sequentially. Excluding legacy ST-Ericsson products and one-time licensing revenue in the first quarter, this represents a sequential progression of 4.7%. In our Sense & Power and Automotive Product segment, the key drivers of our top line growth were the Industrial & Power Discrete and Automotive product groups, IPD and APG increased 7.4% and 4.2% sequentially respectively. And in our Embedded Processing Solutions segment, EPS, our Microcontroller, Memory & Secure microcontrollers grew 14.5% sequentially, so all three of our largest groups perform very well.
Our customer diversification across market channels continued. Distribution represented 31% of total sales in the second quarter, up from 26% at this time last year and slightly increasing from the first quarter. Gross margin improved sequentially up 120 basis points, thanks to manufacturing efficiencies, a favorable product mix, and product pruning. So we continue to move towards our target range of 36% to 38%.
Turning to operating expenses, we are well aligned with our objective, combined R&D and SG&A totaled $626 million in the second quarter with the sequential increase mainly due to higher number of days in the quarter. Year-over-year, our operating costs are significantly lower due to the exit of ST-Ericsson and our cost reduction programs.
Also in the second quarter, the European Union approved the funding of €400 million for the Nano2017 R&D program. This funding granted by the France authorities to ST for the development of new technologies in the Nanoelectronics sector is for the period 2013 to 2017. Apart from the catch-up of the Nano2017 program recorded in the second quarter going forward and in combination with other smaller programs, R&D grants are expected to total about $30 million for quarter. This is helping us to keep our net operating expenses at the lower end of our target range.

I have a problem identical to this problem here.
I even want to encode the same infromation as him (it's a date/time for asp.net)...
When ever I try to add a backslash i get two backslashes since I used \.
Everyone in the thread above has claimed that this is a problem with NSLog and that NSString does treat
\\ as a
\. I have checked this further by using a packet sniffer to examine the packets I'm sending to the webserver and I can confirm that it is transmitting a double backslash instead of a single backslash.
Does anyone know how to add a backslash to a NSString?
