Rolling Stone article on Harbaugh and Meyer: "The Big Ten's Big Two"
Steve Greenberg has an excellent article out today in Rolling Stone about the Michigan - OSU rivalry and their respective coaches. He heaps praise (and rightly so) on Urban Meyer and says Michigan might not turn the tables this year, but nobody should count out the Wolverines in the coming years with Jim Harbaugh leading the charge:
He's aligned against perhaps the finest coach in all of college football – 1? 1A? What's the difference? – yet bent on shoving the Buckeyes' recent dominance in the rivalry into the abyss. Doubt this maelstrom of a man at your own peril.
Harbaugh vs. Meyer: a comparison
Given that many posters are getting trash talk from Ohio and MSU people, I thought it would be useful to give you some ammunition. So, I compiled a comparison of Meyer vs. Harbaugh (you will quickly see why Dantonio does not belong here).
Meyer ranks #10 in college win pct; Harbaugh ranks #5 all time in the NFL.
Meyer won college coach of the year twice in 30 years of coaching
Harbaugh won both college and NFL coach of the year in 11 years.
Meyers' teams finished #1 nationally twice in 30 years.
Harbaugh won AFC* and NFC titles and went to 3 NFC title games and a Super Bowl in 6 years.
The team that won Meyer's titles (Fla) had previously finished #1 in the nation under another coach (Steve Spurrier, who also compiled a higher win pct there than Meyer)
Harbaugh's Stanford team had never in history finished #1 in AP or UPI/coaches' polls, but Harbaugh took their (recently 16-40 team) to their highest rank in 75 years (#4)
Meyer spent 15 years coaching college kids as an assistant. Harbaugh spent 14 years as an NFL QB, going to the Pro Bowl and winning the AFC player of the year.
*as QB coach
What to Expect from Harbaugh in Year One?
Hello MGoBlog,
This is my first time creating a forum post. Some of you have seen me comment here and there for the last three years. You'll know from my other posts that: a) I'm an Ohio State fan; and b) I'm not a troll--I visit here because I love college football and respect the writers and posters on this blog.
With the introductions out of the way let me start out by saying that I (like many other Buckeye fans) hope you guys get Harbaugh. The B1G needs Michigan to be its traditional self. Ohio State is only as good as the strength of its conference in many respects. And it benefits as much as Michigan if The Game is between two ranked powerhouses that will usually decide who goes to the B1G Championship Game.
I think Harbaugh can get you guys there more so than anyone else available. And, from reading this board, it appears that I am not alone. Assuming this happens, what are reasonable expectations for the Wolverines in year one? Transition usually takes time, but we have seen programs where the transition is seamless and the new coach has early success. Oddly, Brady Hoke was one of them in 2011. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

US Army looking to contractors for African operations
Written by Oscar Nkala and Kim Helfrich, Tuesday, 17 September 2013
This comes hard on the heels of a transport contract awarded by the US Army's Transport Command (US-TRANSCOM) to Berry Aviation to provide to provide air transport service in support of operations in western and central Africa. This contract is reportedly worth $49 million.
A solicitation notice issued by Africom Surface Distribution Services (ASDS) from its contracting office in Vincenza, Italy, on August 5 seeks contractors who will provide "transportation services of intra-theatre cargo within the Africom Area of Responsibility (AOR) and Egypt."
The solicitation adds: "The contractor shall provide all necessary resources including logistics support and management to perform surface transport and distribution of general cargo within all fifty five (55) nations of the Africom AOR and Egypt.
In the solicitation document, Africom says materials to be transported, "although normally general in nature will not include sensitive cargo but may include hazardous materials."
The solicitation notice adds contractors will not be required to transport classified equipment and materials, gunpowder, ammunition or military weapons and explosives.
It also states the successful contractors will not be required to move military tanks, self-propelled armoured combat vehicles with weapons, aircraft and spacecraft including satellites, radar or radio devices for remote control of weapons and equipment.
These developments come when at least one American military watcher, Nick Turse of TomDispatch.com, maintains Africom is involved in the A to Z of Africa.
"They're involved in Algeria and Angola, Benin and Botswana, Burkina Faso and Burundi, Cameroon and the Cape Verde Islands. And that's just the ABCs of the situation. Skip to the end of the alphabet and the story remains the same: Senegal and the Seychelles, Togo and Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia. From north to south, east to west, the Horn of Africa to the Sahel, the heart of the continent to the islands off its coasts, the US military is at work. Base construction, security co-operation engagements, training exercises, advisory deployments, special operations missions and a growing logistics network, all undeniable evidence of expansion—except at US Africa Command," he wrote.
Giving the official line Turse goes on: "To hear Africom tell it, US military involvement on the continent ranges from the miniscule to the microscopic. The command is adamant it has only a single 'military base' in all of Africa: Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. The head of the command insists that the US military maintains a 'small footprint' on the continent. Africom's chief spokesman has consistently minimised the scope of its operations and the number of facilities it maintains or shares with host nations, asserting only 'a small presence of personnel who conduct short-duration engagements' are operating from 'several locations' on the continent at any given time".
He quotes Colonel Tom Davis, Africom director of public affairs, as saying: "Other than our base at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, we do not have military bases in Africa, nor do we have plans to establish any". Davis admitted the US has temporary facilities elsewhere. . supporting much smaller numbers of personnel "usually for a specific activity".
Another solicitation notice (HTC711-13-R-R016) issued in July seeks dedicated fixed wing service for the deployment and extraction of US military personnel involved in operations in the central African region.
It specifies contractors must be able to transport personnel and willing to carry hazardous cargo including ammunitions for small arms, signal flares, smoke grenades, blasting caps, rockets, mines and explosive charges in the central African theatre of operations.
"The contractor will be asked to routinely take off and land on improved and unimproved dirt airfields of a minimum of 1 800 feet in length to support resupply and personnel transportation requirements," part of the solicitation note reads.
It said routine locations involved in the operations could include airfields such as Entebbe in Uganda, Obo and Djema in the Central African Republic. The operations will also support the training of counter-narcotics law enforcement agencies from Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Niger, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Togo, Guinea and Mali.
Apart from these developments the US Military has been supporting construction all over Africa for its allies.
A report by Hugh Denny of the Army Corps of Engineers issued earlier this year references 79 such projects in 33 countries between 2011 and 2013 including Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Cote D'Ivoire, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tunisia, The Gambia, Togo, Uganda, and Zambia with a reported price tag of $48 million.
In addition to creating or maintaining bases and engaging in military construction across the continent, the US is involved in near constant training and advisory missions. According to Davis, the command is slated to carry out 14 major bilateral and multilateral exercises by the end of this year. These include Saharan Express 2013, which brought together forces from Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Liberia, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, and Sierra Leone, among other nations, for maritime security training; Obangame Express 2013, a counter-piracy exercise involving the armed forces of among others Benin, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Togo; and Africa Endeavour 2013, in which the militaries of Djibouti, Burundi, Cote d'Ivoire, Zambia, and 34 other African nations took part.
And it's not only on land and in the air that US forces are making their presence felt more. The Defense Logistics Agency is preparing to buy 65 000 metric tonnes of marine gas oil for Africom operations.
Information obtained by defenceWeb also shows from April 2014, Africom Ships' Bunkers programme will order fuel to be delivered "into US vessels for US Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies by barge, truck, or pipeline".
The command is seeking up to 27 000 metric tonnes of fuel for delivery to US Air Force and Navy assets in Seychelles, an island nation off the coast of East Africa. Neighbouring Mauritius is next with a maximum order of 10 000 metric tonnes of fuel.
Other destinations for Africom fuel supplies are Tanzania, Cape Verde, Senegal, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Namibia.

The next fall will be of bond insurers like PMI,ABK,MBI. noway this company is gonna survive.The only strategy is to sell.Goldman can afford a hit, but can you?
Actually if I make a loss on this stock I will just simply write it off on my taxes and furthermore, I do not invest money I am not prepared to lose to begin with. Last but not least, Goldman is not stupid and they have been making money hand over fist off other companies.
"Goldman can take a hit, but can you?"This has to be one of the most stupid remarks I have heard, ever. Sounds like a company like Goldman has a strategy to lose money every now and then on purpose just to show what they can with stand.Listen, the housing market has not turned a corner yet simply because people are still defaulting on their loans. Unemployment is still going up and is obviously high. Even though they are enticing "new home owners" into the market, what are all those existing home owners that cant make their payments doing? What about all the foreclosures, do you think they are jumping into another house or do you think they are renting for the time being? This is a buy opportunity Technically, but Fundamentally, M.I.'s should be avoided simply because nothing has changed in the Unemployment category and those who were home owners are no longer home owners and MI's are forced to take the hit for insuring those individuals.So honestly this is a long term stock and a definate buy in my book regardless if it goes down to .25 cents. I am going to keep buying if this keeps falling, ill have to invest less and less to get the same amount of shares. This company has cash reserves to last all of next year, and if the housing market gets some footing, so will this stock.

In December's column, we installed the Asterisk PBX and configured two IP phones as extensions. This month, we'll connect our PBX to the telephone network for incoming and outgoing calls and set up the Digital Receptionist to route our incoming calls.
Connecting Asterisk to the Telephone Network
Asterisk supports a myriad of ways to connect to the public telephone network. Asterisk provides standard technologies such as IAX (Inter-Asterisk-eXchange), SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), and PRI (with appropriate hardware). We'll be connecting with IAX because it's simple and widely supported by VoIP providers.
Choosing a VoIP Provider
We'll be using VoIP services provided by Blue Networks, Inc., because it offers the best mix of pricing, support, and connectivity. Blue Networks also has online sign-up and a no-nonsense free trial.
Head over to www.sellVoIP.net/ and click on "Free Trial." Blue Networks will send your username and password to the e-mail address you supplied during sign-up.
Your VoIP experience can be affected by many variables. Network latency and reliability issues between your Asterisk server and your provider's gateway are the most critical factors. Luckily, Blue Networks has multiple gateways and finding one with the least latency is simple.
To determine which gateway to use, log into your [email protected] machine either from the console or with a secure shell. Once logged in, issue the following command:
[[email protected] ~]# ping -qc5 miaiax1.sellVoIP.net
After a few seconds, you should see ping results similar to:
PING miaiax1.sellVoIP.net (126.96.36.199) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- miaiax1.sellVoIP.net ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 38.139/39.095/40.131/0.744 ms, pipe 2
Make a note of the average ping time. In this case, it's 39.095 milliseconds. Run the same ping for seaiax1.sellVoIP.net and nyiax1.sellVoIP.net, then log out. We'll use the server with the lowest average ping time. In my case, miaiax1.sellVoIP.net was the fastest to respond.
Let's configure Asterisk to connect to the fastest gateway and make a couple of test calls.
In AMP, click on Setup, then Trunks. Click on "Add IAX2 Trunk." We'll use the account number "12345" and the secret "mysecret" in this example. Replace these with the account number and secret you got in the e-mail from Blue Networks.
In the "Outgoing Settings" section, we'll add the following:
In Dial Rules, add:
Replace 919 with your local area code. Asterisk will automatically dial this area code whenever a number dialed doesn't include one.
At the bottom of the page, add the following to the "Registration" section:
Remember to replace "12345" and "mysecret" with the IAX username and secret from your sign-up e-mail. When complete, click on "Submit Changes."
Next, click on "Outbound Routing." Select the default route of "0 9_outside." In the section "Trunk Sequence" select the IAX2 route we added above, then click "Submit Changes" and click on the red warning to make your changes take effect, see below.
You should now be able to make phone calls! Remember, since your trial account has a 10-cent balance, your phone call will be limited to a few minutes. Also, always dial 9 and then the number.
To get a phone number (called a DID for "Direct Inward Dial"), you'll have to sign into the SellVoIP Portal (www.sellVoIP.net/portal/) and add funds to your account. You'll then click on "Add DID" and select the DID from the list. At the time of this writing, there are several dozen toll-free numbers available, as well as numbers in various area codes throughout the country. If your area code isn't available, request it in a support ticket.
Once you have a DID, configuring Asterisk to use it is quite simple.
Click on Trunks then click on the SellVoIP trunk we just added for outbound calls. In the section "Incoming Settings" enter your IAX username. In User Details, add the following:
Let's also set our outbound caller ID to this DID. Do this by putting the 10-digit number in the "Outbound Caller ID" field.
Click "Submit Changes," then click the red banner to make those changes take effect.
Configuring the Digital Receptionist
What use is a fancy PBX without being able to route calls? The Asterisk Management Portal (AMP) lets us route inbound calls to the Digital Receptionist, directly to an extension, to a ring group, or a call queue. It will also let us specify different options for "after hours" calls.
We'll configure the Digital Receptionist to handle our incoming calls. Before we record any prompts or greetings, we should take a few minutes to sketch out our requirements and user experience.
Our example company, Spatula City, has a receptionist who should always be reachable by dialing "0." There are only two extensions, so it isn't necessary to configure a company directory. We want the caller to be able to reach our Sales and Customer Service departments through the menu. Our main menu should sound something like:
"Welcome to Spatula City! If you know your party's extension, please enter it now. For the sales department, press one. For customer service, press two. For the operator, press zero."
In AMP, click on Digital Receptionist. The Receptionist will need to know your extension to record menu items.
AMP gives us the option to record our prompt over the phone or upload it as a WAV file. Let's record the prompt through the telephone by picking it up and dialing *77 and reading the welcome message above. You can dial *99 to listen to the recording and *77 again to re-record.
Once the recording is complete, we need to name and describe it:
After clicking Continue, AMP needs to know how many options there are on the menu we just recorded. Enter "3" here.
Spatula City is a small operation. It has a bookkeeper in the back at extension 200. She's also the operator. There's one person dedicated to sales and customer service at extension 201. Our call routing is simple:
Finally, we have to tell Asterisk to use this Digital Receptionist for incoming calls. In AMP, click on Incoming Calls. Spatula City wants the Digital Receptionist to handle incoming calls all the time, even when the store is closed. The easiest way to do this is to set the Digital Receptionist to "Spatula City Main" for regular hours and force regular hours as shown below.
Testing the Receptionist
[email protected] can simulate an incoming call from any extension by dialing 7777. After dialing, you should hear the main menu presented by the Digital Receptionist.

Yes, I use it. Very easy to do, just read up before hand so you know what you are doing.
Personally I use the FoCal software which pretty much automates the process and takes the guess work (human error) out of the process.

NJ Waiting On Governor Decision On I-Gaming Bill
Top State Official Has Until Feb. 3 To Sign Or Veto Legislation
After a rush of voting last month, New Jersey's online gambling bill is in Gov. Chris Christie's hands. He has until Feb. 3 to sign or veto the legislation.
This bill would allow casino games, including poker, to be offered on the Internet to New Jersey residents and to players outside of the Garden State if officials determine doing so is legal.
New Jersey released a report right before the end of 2012 which discussed the possible fiscal impact of such an activity being approved. The report described the uncertainty with predicting the figures since online gaming has never existed in such a way in the United States for an complete and thorough study. The industry has wallowed in a gray area for years.
The lack of precise data might not matter much for the decision of Gov. Christie, who has long looked for ways to help the state's struggling brick-and-mortar casino industry and other gambling businesses. However, he did veto a similar bill in 2011.
Much has changed since Gov. Christie's veto. The federal government has relaxed its stance on intrastate online gambling, Nevada and Delaware have legalized the activity within their borders and a recent hurricane has further damaged Atlantic City's performance.
State lotteries have also gotten into the mix and a federal online poker bill still looms in the horizon as a way to allow all states to get in on the action at once.
Atlantic City's slumber could get deeper as other states in the region look to build more land-based casinos and might one day OK web gaming as well.
About a year ago, the governor explained his veto and stance on the idea.
"I think [New Jersey] should be an epicenter for [the Internet gaming] business, but I want to do it right — I do not want to rush and get legislation that either doesn't pass state constitutional muster, or creates other problems for us," he said.

A hero's journey: Victoria Cross winner carries Olympic Torch through National Memorial site to mark Armed Forces Day
- Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, 32, who saved the lives of 30 comrades in Iraq, took the flame up the steps of the National Memorial Arboretum
- About 6,000 spectators, including service personnel and their families, cheered and waved Union flags
- Ceremony was one of more than 100 events held across the country today to celebrate Britain's servicemen
An Iraq War veteran who saved the lives of 30 comrades was cheered on by thousands today as he carried the Olympic Torch on Armed Forces Day.
Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, 32, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery, took the flame up the steps of the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, the UK's centre of remembrance.
He paused to salute his fellow soldiers as about 6,000 people, including service personnel and their families, applauded and waved Union flags.
The ceremony was one of more than 100 events, ranging from veterans' parades and bands to barbecues and fairs, taking place across the country to pay tribute to Britain's war heroes and mark Armed Forces Day.
Cheers for a hero: Thousands waved Union flags as Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry carried the Olympic Torch
'Emotional': L/Cpl Beharry took the flame up the steps of the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, the UK's centre of remembrance
Thirty thousand poppies were dropped on the crowd by a paraglider flown by Major Alastair Macartney from Jump4Heroes, a charity which helps the Armed Forces as part of the Royal British Legion.
L/Cpl Beharry said: 'It was very emotional (carrying the torch) because of the reason why I am here - to see the turnout is amazing and being here on Armed Forces Day as well.
'Armed Forces Day is important to see the general public is behind us and support us for what we do.'
The Caribbean-born hero said he hoped to watch a few events at the Olympics.
In 2004 L/Cpl Beharry became the first living person for 35 years to receive the Victoria Cross, which is the highest military honour for valour.
Proud: L/Cpl Beharry was the first living person for 35 years to receive the Victoria Cross. He is one of 8,000 people chosen to carry the Olympic Torch on its 70-day journey to the opening ceremony in London
He earned the honour for saving the lives of 30 comrades by charging down an ambush and has since overcome terrible wounds to continue his military career.
The Band of the Irish Regiment and members of the 2 Mercian Regiment followed L/Cpl Beharry as he walked up the steps to the memorial site.
The Mercian Ram, Lance Corporal Derby, mascot of the 2 Mercian Regiment, was also there.
Michael Hawkins, 71, from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was among the former servicemen who travelled to the event.
Mr Hawkins, who served in the RAF for 36 years, and attended with his wife Gill, 61, said: 'I came here today because I thought it was very important on Armed Forces Day to do something that I consider significant, to come here to the National Arboretum, but in particular to see Johnson Beharry.'
Tribute: The torch-bearing was one of many events held across the country today to celebrate Britain's war heroes and mark Armed Forces Day
He added: 'Today is a hugely important day for our Armed Forces. The Armed Forces serve the Crown, their country and their regiment.
'They do it every day, they do it because they want to do it.
'I honestly believe it is one of the last institutions in the country that still shows the right moral values.'
L/Cpl Beharry is one of 8,000 people who have been chosen to carry the torch on an 8,000-mile, 70-day journey to the Olympic opening ceremony on July 27.
In Plymouth, crowds lined the streets to cheer on the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force bands as more than 1,200 servicemen and women, veterans and cadets marched through the city.

Leader: David Cameron attends the Armed Forces national event in Plymouth
The Royal Navy type-23 frigate HMS Argyll was then set to sail through Plymouth Sound to fire a 21-gun salute.
Prime Minister David Cameron and the Earl of Wessex were among the guests at the celebrations in Devon.
Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, said he was delighted at the support given by the thousands of well-wishers.
Respect: Mr Cameron stands with dignitaries during the event in Plymouth

He added: 'People across the country from all ages and backgrounds have a deep respect and appreciation for the Armed Forces, and Armed Forces Day is an excellent opportunity for us all to let our men and women realise how much they are appreciated.
'It is from our society that our Armed Forces are drawn and from our society that we draw our strength.'
More than £10million is to be pumped into creating 100 cadet units in schools, the Government announced on Armed Forces Day.
The move will enable more young people to join military-themed youth organisations and take pride in their community.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Department for Education (DfE) revealed they had committed the money for 100 new units across state-funded schools in England by 2015.
The money will go towards essential equipment and training of staff.
Interested schools will need to show they can get adult volunteers and third-party funding to maintain the units.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said: 'Cadet forces offer a great opportunity to gain life skills and we are determined to ensure that we open that opportunity up to as many young people as possible.
'The funding announced by the Government today will kickstart an exciting new phase in the development of our cadet forces - fostering greater social mobility and raising awareness of the values and ethos of our Armed Forces among local communities.'
Education Secretary Michael Gove said: 'Cadet forces provide an exciting and challenging way for young people to learn teamwork, self-discipline and respect.
'They have made a hugely positive impact, especially in boosting standards and discipline.
'By extending the scheme in state schools, more young people can benefit from the cadet experience.
'It will help them develop into well-rounded, accomplished adults fully prepared for life beyond school.
'We know many schools with cadet forces have a partnership or collaboration arrangements with neighbouring schools to allow more young people to take part.
'We want to see more partnerships to allow schools to share their expertise and facilities for the benefit of all.'
There are four major MoD-sponsored cadet forces - the school-based Combined Cadet Force and the community-based Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force and Air Training Corps.
Between them 26,000 adult volunteers deliver training to 140,000 young people a year.
There are 3,280 cadet units across all four cadet forces in the UK, 324 of which are in state schools.

text: It feels so long ago since the Houston Rockets were eliminated from the postseason at the hands of Golden State, that I can't even remember if I wrote anything looking back on the season. Possibly I didn't. We also had a lot to discuss with the D'Antoni hiring and the rumors surrounding that process. But here we are in the middle of June, in the days leading up to the NBA draft, but having no first round draft pick. That's the most depressing outcome possible after coming off a disappointing season.The thing I just can't get over is how quickly everything changed from just last season. I maybe started thinking about this deeply after all of the commemorations recently of Houston's title teams. I don't know that I was emotionally present during the '94 title run, but in 1995, I watched all 82 games + the postseason, even if needing to finish certain Pacific coast fourth quarters from my headphones, under the safety of my covers. The most striking thing, looking back, is that I took winning for granted. I was overjoyed, but I didn't grasp even a fraction of the magnitude of the circumstances. Even in the ensuing years, culminating in 1997, when the team made deep playoff runs, I still assumed relevance was a right. [read more…]

2010 Cubs Top 15 ProspectsSubmitted by Arizona Phil on Mon, 11/09/2009 - 12:58pm
Here are my "2010 Cubs Top 15 Prospects."
Here are my "2010 Cubs Top 15 Prospects."
The Angels edged the Cubs 8-7 in AZ Instructional League action this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa, in what was the final 2009 Instructs game for the Cubs.
Logan Watkins reached base four times (three singles and a HBP), scored twice, and drove-in a run, and D. J. LeMahieu blasted a two-run double and a solo HR, but a 9th inning Cub rally fell short as the potential tying run was thrown out at the plate, giving the A's a 10-9 decision over the Cubs in AZ Instructional League action at the Papago Baseball Complex in Phoenix this afternoon.
Brandon Guyer walked, singled, doubled, crushed a three-run homer, scored two runs, and stole a base, Ryan Flaherty doubled, tripled, and walked, drove-in three runs, and scored three more, Brett Jackson reached base three times, scored all three times he reached, and knocked-in two runs, and D. J. LeMahieu ripped a two-run triple, leading the Cubs to a 12-8 victory over the Giants in AZ Instructional League action at breezy Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this afternoon.
Richard Jones slammed a pinch-hit tie-breaking home run over the RF fence with one out in the top of the 9th, and the Cubs held-on to defeat the Angels 2-1 in AZ Instructional League action at Diablo Park Field #3 in Tempe this morning.
In the AZ Instructional League, Chicago's "Crosstown Classic" is West-Side versus East-Side rather than North-Side versus South-Side, but it's still Sox versus Cubs, and such was the case today, as about 20 White Sox youngsters boarded a couple of maxi-vans at Camelback Ranch in Glendale and traveled 30 miles east down the Papago and Red Mountain freeways to meet the Cubs at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa.
D. J. LeMahieu singled, doubled, and tripled, and scored two runs, Ryan Flaherty reached base four times (double, two singles, and a walk), scored twice, and drove-in a run, Michael Brenly doubled and tripled and scored twice, Dong-Yub Kim singled and tripled, scored one run, and knocked-in another, and Rebel Ridling had four RBI, but it wasn't quite enough offense to provide a victory, as the Cubs and Brewers played to a 9-9 tie in Arizona Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 this afternoon in sunny and VERY hot Mesa, Arizona.
I am glad Joe is managing this team and not Old and Blue!
Baez had Maddon's ass last night. I didn't hear the reason for taking Contreras out last night but whatever game management thingy it was, you don't take out your second hottest hitter. Or is he third? Anyway, you don't take him out. The guy can probably play anywhere in the field, anyway. Did anybody see that nice catch in left he made? I don't think he got a late start on that, just tracked it damn well for a catcher.
Per Fangraphs...
Bryant took over NL lead in WAR after yesterday's effort. 3.9. Rizzo's at 2.8 and 8th in the league. Rizzo actually with better offensive numbers (161 wRC+ versus 146 for Bryant), but Bryant gets a good bump because of defense and position(s) played.
Fowler with a 2.8 WAR as well (9th), Zobrist with a 2.7 (14th).
M. Carpenter leads NL with 163 wRC+ just ahead of Rizzo who is 2nd.
@jonahkeri Joe Maddon living out Joe Maddon fanfic IRL tonight
yes. I was at the Sean Marshall game in LF. Lou Piniella was managing. StL won 4-2, so I guess it didn't help but it was zany. Soriano/Reed Johnson and Marshall were the LF's.
On a 6 degrees of separation note: Cubs got Travis Wood in the trade that sent Sean Marshall to Cincy.
Make that 1-7, 4 RBI.
i like how strop played LF with his "crooked cap" look...that's not just for the mound.
let baez pitch the 15th, he earned it.
Forget the save, finally Javier!!
Can a pitcher get more than one hold in a game? Or a Win and a save?
Didn't they do this sort of thing with Sean Marshall years back? Sticking him in LF to save him to face others, but without a pitcher replacing him in LF.
This is the most beautiful thing ever.
all i wanna know is...when's d.ross gonna pitch?
Maddon is over-managing the shit out of this game.
yeah. ...or not...
i was a bit more confused why the guy who gave up a HR to votto last night was facing him with 2 men on.
...now that wood is coming in to pitch the following inning, the whole thing gets weirder. so like, okay.

We thought that the hostel would be a bit alternative but that was too much. People smoked everywhere, the kitchen was dirty and disgusting, we found a sock in our room, the room was frozen even with the heater on and when it is snowing outside you really appreciate this factor, there are no blanquets... The staff weren't really helpful they didn't even know when the buses were going to the airport or where exacty the bus stop is, they barely speak English.

Fine for a brief stay. Quite a difficult walk from any transport in winter thanks to snow/ice, would be better in summer. We stayed first in a twin room on the first floor but were moved on the third night as the music from the lounge is so loud that it was impossible to sleep even with earplugs, and it stopped only at 3am. The new room on the fourth floor was quiet but very cold and wifi didn't work. Staff are okay. Good free breakfast. Everything was clean. Rooms need more power outlets.

About 100,000 bats dead after heatwave in southern QueenslandBy Josh Bavas, Wednesday January 8, 2014 - 20:55 EDT
About 100,000 bats may have died as a result of last weekend's heatwave in southern Queensland, the RSPCA says.
Mass deaths at about 25 separate colonies have been reported since the weekend, including at Mt Ommaney, Redbank, Boonah, Palmwoods, Laidley and Gatton.
RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty says the heatwave was a significant hit to the population of bats across the state.
"The heatwave was basically a catastrophe for all the bat colonies in south-east Queensland," he said.
"That's obviously going to have a pretty disturbing impact on those colonies and those colonies are vital to our ecosystem."
The smell of bat carcasses has caused problems for locals.
The Scenic Rim Regional Council, west of Brisbane, has organised rubbish collectors to clear up the carcasses of about 2,000 bats.
Residents near Boonah's Athol Terrace lookout say they have been putting up with the stench of the dead animals for four days.
Hundreds of bats also lie dead in trees and nearby bushes, and are being eaten by maggots.
The council today advised local residents it will not send workers into nearby bushland to collect the remaining bat carcasses, as it could cause further disruption to the nearby colony.
One resident has told the ABC she is receiving anti-viral treatment after being scratched by a baby bat while clearing the dead animals out of her tree with a rake.
Further north, Lockyer Valley Regional Council says it also faces a massive task of cleaning up thousands of dead bats from around Laidley and Gatton.
Sunshine Coast Regional Council has sent workers out to collect thousands more dead bats near Palmwoods.
At least 16 people across south-east Queensland are receiving anti-viral treatment after coming into close contact with a bat.
Queensland Health is advising people not to touch the animals and to call authorities for help in clearing them away.
Sammy Ringer from Bat Rescue echoed those concerns, saying it was best to call a wildlife volunteer or a vet.
"Don't touch them, they're stressed," she said.
"If they do bite or scratch you and break the skin you can get a vaccination, you can get a shot for the lyssavirus."

or email us with your enquiry
St John's Hospice provides care for people living in Bedfordshire, bordering parts of Cambridgeshire, and parts of what was once Huntingdonshire. We're also the base for the Bedfordshire Partnership for Excellence in Palliative Services which co-ordinates care services for palliative care patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have exciting and innovative plans to expand our services into the community in the coming months. Our current services include
It's my job to make sure that St John's Hospice provides incredible care for our patients and offers support for their carers and families. I am privileged to lead a great team of staff and volunteers who all play an important part in a variety of ways, ensuring that our services are the best they can be. Being local means that we know the community we serve and being part of a larger organisation gives us the support and direction to help us to be efficient. Hospice care is a philosophy, not just a building. It is all about providing the right care at the right time when people need us most.
I have worked at St John's Hospice since 2004 as a family support and bereavement co-ordinator and also as a registered nurse. In my current role I provide information and support to patients, carers and family members, including children and explore issues raised by illness. My nursing background helps me to work alongside the nursing teams in providing a holistic approach to care where peoples thoughts and concerns are catered for.
As Head of Support Services I am responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the hospice and grounds at St John's; this includes managing the budgets, reception, admin, catering, gardening and domestic staff. It is my role to co-ordinate various teams to ensure that our service users, visitors and staff feel their individual needs are met.
It is my role to take clinical responsibility for the care delivered by the various services provided by, and from, St John's Hospice. I am the registered manager of St John's, as recognised by the Care Quality Commission, and have a major role in promoting high quality care, ensuring that our patients and families receive a service that is second to none. As an experienced nurse, I have over all managerial responsibility for any groups of staff directly involved with patient care, including nursing, complementary therapy, spiritual care and social work.
I am here for patients, their families and all the staff in a pastoral and spiritual role, whether or not they have a faith. I am here to listen, to pray and to support. My greatest privilege is doing the funerals of many of our patients. Originally a Head Teacher, I specialised in Religious Studies and also a trained counsellor. I began my Ministerial training in 1999 and was licensed by the Bishop of Hertford in 2002. I came to St John's in 2013 having served firstly in a Church setting and later as a part time Chaplain to the NHS.
My role is to support St John's and the services it provides to local Black, Minority Ethnic communities. St John's fully recognises and respects cultural, ethnic and religious differences. Great care is taken to ensure that our services are culturally sensitive and inclusive. By engaging with community groups, leaders and organisations my role is to ensure support is easily accessible, either at St John's or at patients' homes.
My background is in hospice and community nursing, and I have also worked as a nurse educator. Prior to my current role at Sue Ryder I was Service Manager for the Partnership for Excellence in Palliative Support (PEPS) service. In my current position I have played a key role in the implementation of an end of life education programme for nursing homes, setting up and developing the PEPS service. I have also assisted in the development and implementation of VitruCare digital service for palliative patients.
It is my role as Social Worker to support service users, family, friends and carers through their time at St John's. I am here to speak to people about a range of topics from personal issues which might be concerning them to practical ones such as finance. I also assist in discharge planning and discussing with people the options available to them when they leave to ensure they receive the care they need
My sister and her dog come to see me nearly every day
Q. "Does the hospice have Wi-fi?"
A. "Yes, and this is free to all visitors and patients. Just ask one of the staff when you arrive and they will give you the password."
"As soon as the first nurse arrived she made everything okay." Debbie, Darrell's wife
"I couldn't receive better had I been the Queen Mother"
You can support us by volunteering in a healthcare role, as a fundraiser or by working in one of our shops. Below are a few recently added local volunteering roles, but you can also check all our volunteering roles.

DEFINITION of 'One To Many'
A trading platform where all buyers and sellers transact with a sole market operator. Whereas a normal exchange involves the operator matching buyers with sellers, a one-to-many platform operator will purchase the assets from the sellers and sell to the buyers. All bids and offers are posted by the platform operator.

BREAKING DOWN 'One To Many'
A one-to-many market involves one group or organization transacting with multiple buyers and sellers. The Commodity Exchange Act does not recognize one-to-many markets as official trading facilities. The most infamous example of a one-to-many trading platform was Enron's EOL, an online internet trading platform. Market manipulation, false reporting and wash trading brought Enron EOL to a crashing halt.
