A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck the west coast of British Columbia on Saturday about 8 p.m. local time.
The earthquake produced at least four tsunami waves that reached Hawaii several hours later, prompting many to seek higher ground.
The earthquake was located about 395 miles to the south-southeast of Juneau. The epicenter was at a focal depth of 10.9 miles, in the Queen Charlotte Islands.
This earthquake location map is courtesy of the USGS.
Reports of damage in the area are minimal, as the islands are only inhabited by about 5,000 people.
The tsunami generated by the earthquake that struck the coast of British Columbia and nearby islands was relatively small, with a 69 cm (2.3 ft.) wave reported off Langara Island.
A 55 cm (1.9 ft.) wave was also reported at Winter Harbour on northern Vancouver Island. Tsunami alerts, to warn of a potential water rise, were issued as far south as northern California and Hawaii.
More than 100,000 people in Hawaii were evacuated to higher ground prior to the tsunami's arrival. A few hours after the initial quake, the leading edge of the tsunami reached the Hawaiian Islands. Most locations on the northeast coast of Hawaii reported a rise in the water level of only 1 to 2 feet, which was less than expected.
All advisories have since been dropped along the west coast of North America.

Southeastern Utah
However, more than 15 million acres of southeastern Utah's magnificent lands and wildlife habitat are vulnerable to oil and gas development. The Wilderness Society is working to keep these uniquely American landscapes out of harm's way.
Why Southeastern Utah
Home to stunning places like Arches and Canyonlands national parks, Southeastern Utah has many special lands that need to be protected.
Our work in Southeastern Utah
Our campaigns work to keep the most special wild areas permanently protected and to keep oil and gas drilling away from pristine areas. Our successes include protecting Grand Staircase-Escalante as a national monument.
Our partners
We could not accomplish our conservation goals without the groups and communities that we work with in the state of Utah.
Wilderness is a precious resource with many human, natural and economic benefits that we need to protect.
Add your voice to important wilderness causes and take action to stop threats to our wildlands by joining our community of wilderness activists.
Each day, thousands of acres of our wild places are lost to development. You can help save America's last remaining wilderness by joining The Wilderness Society with a gift of $35 or more today!

The severity of this problem is magnified by drastic underfunding; forcing the U.S. Forest Service to drain funds from essential programs such as fuel reduction, recreation and stewardship towards emergency fire suppression.
2015 was a record breaking fire season, burning more than 10 million acres across the nation and costing taxpayers more than $2 billion.

LOS ALTOS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- Box today announced that more than 85 higher education institutions have adopted Box's cloud collaboration service to help their communities of students, faculty, and staff access, share and manage content online and from mobile devices. In the past year alone, the number of Box customers in the education sector has doubled, with some of the nation's leading universities adopting Box. To support its university-focused initiative, Box also partnered with Internet2, the world's most advanced networking consortium, to provide top institutions, including Cornell, Notre Dame, Stanford and University of Michigan, with a simple way to deploy Box across their entire campuses.
"No group of people are more savvy and comfortable with web and mobile technologies than students," said Whitney Bouck, general manager of enterprise at Box. "Universities are moving away from legacy systems and pushing aggressively towards software that's built for a post-PC world and meets the expectations of their students. We're thrilled to be working with a growing group of higher education institutions that are making it easy for their communities to work, learn and collaborate together in new ways."
Box partnered with Internet2 to offer U.S. universities a secure and simple way to deploy Box across their entire campus communities. Since the launch of the Internet2 NET+ Box program in April 2012, more than 1 million Box accounts have been purchased across the 32 participating universities. Early University adopters in process of rolling out the service campus-wide include, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford and UC Berkeley.
"At Cornell University, we are always looking for technology tools that will enhance our community's innovation, productivity and academic success. Box helps us meet these goals," said Ted Dodds, chief information officer and vice president at Cornell. "As an early adopter of the Internet2 NET+ Box program, we were able to bring a secure cloud storage and collaboration service to Cornell faster than if we rolled Box out on our own. Now, our faculty, staff and students can access and share content from any device, whether at Cornell or traveling abroad -- Box helps our community stay connected."
"Notre Dame faculty and students consistently were asking for more storage and the ability to easily access and share information anytime, with anyone, from anywhere and on any device," said Ron Kraemer, vice president of IT and chief information officer at Notre Dame. "Through Box, we were able to address that request quickly and securely, and in the process, better serve teaching, learning, research and University operations."
"We understand the cloud's potential to increase collaboration throughout our community, enable faster innovation and cut down on IT costs," said Laura McCain Patterson, chief information officer at University of Michigan. "In line with our long-term strategy for improving our campus IT environment, U-M recently became the first university to roll out Box campus-wide through our partnership with Internet2."
The Internet2 NET+ Box program enables users to securely share, store and collaborate on content with anyone from any device, while providing for the needs of higher education institutions. These requirements include campus single sign-on, integration with campus account provisioning systems, and compliance with rigorous security requirements.
"Higher education is going through massive changes. With the shift in financial models and globalization, past technology acquisition models no longer work. There are too many costs, too much overhead and too much administration," said Shelton Waggener, senior vice president at Internet2. "The technology available to our community today gives us the opportunity to customize systems to meet our needs. Cloud technologies, like Box, deliver on the vision of seamless and lightweight applications that can be easily deployed and quickly adopted to enable the next generation of education."
In addition to the Internet2 universities that have purchased Box for their entire campus, others implement Box for a diverse range of use cases in various departments, including Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy, Hunter College CUNY's Rehabilitation research group and Emory University's Office of Business Practice Improvement. For example, Emory University's Office of Business Practice Improvement uses Box to optimize workflow management and to access and share critical content from mobile devices internally and externally with partners all over the country.
"We literally have hundreds of files per project, and with a team spread all over the country, our biggest challenge was not only giving them access to content, but also knowing how to keep them organized and focused," said Jamie Smith, manager for Strategic Business Solutions, Innovations and Process Improvement at Emory University. "I'm a big believer in cloud-based solutions that you can access anywhere, anytime. With Box, we're able to optimize our workflow and keep everybody on track and working from the most current documents. By leveraging the Box admin tools, we're also able to know who's doing what and track user participation."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

This review is from: CAT Footwear Women's Mardy Fur (Shoes)
I have hankered after these boots for 2 years now and had looked on a well known auction site where they were really expensive! In desperation i tried my luck on Amazon and they were not only cheaper but free next day delivery with Prime! They arrived today and they are awesome! Everything i had hoped, the fit is great, roomy enough for toasty winter socks and they manage to be comfy, cool and stompy..no mean feat! I was concerned that they would be tight around the calf but are perfect for ladies with larger calves and even make my legs look slimmer..can't recommend these boots enough, just wish i had got them last year!

GNI Group Sees Demand for Synthetic Bone Material
GNI Ltd, a leading biopharmaceutical company in Asia, has announced that its China based affiliate Shanghai Genomics has expanded sales of Gu-Bang(TM), a new type of synthetic bone biomaterial, after winning several hospital supply contracts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guandong province.
Using state-of-art nanotechnology, Gu-Bang(TM) is chemically synthesized to create porous, biodegradable and rigid granules. The material, which is non-toxic, non-irritant and has excellent biocompatibility, does not contain proteins, DNA or endotoxins found in allografts, thus avoiding the risk of abnormal allergic and immunologic reactions following implantation.

First impressions of FreeBSD 10.0Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Tuesday 17th of May 2016 07:43:17 AM Filed under
The BSD family of operating systems is typically reputed to be conservative, stable and dependable. FreeBSD typically embodies these characteristics quite well, showcasing reliability and offering few surprises. That being said, the latest release of FreeBSD, version 10.0, introduced a few important changes which I felt deserved a look. Some of the new features shipping with FreeBSD 10.0 included support for ZFS on the root file system, TRIM and LZ4 compression support for ZFS, virtualization improvements and a new package manager. The latest version also swaps out the venerable GNU compiler for the Clang compiler on supported architectures. The 10.0 release is available for several architectures, including x86, Power PC and Sparc. I was interested in the x86 releases which can be downloaded in 32-bit or 64-bit builds. We can further narrow our selection by downloading either a CD-sized ISO or a 2.2 GB ISO image. I opted to try the larger image for my trial.

LLVM Pulls In More Than $300,000 USD A Year In Sponsorships
The LLVM Foundation published its plans and budgets this week for 2016. There are a few interesting details when analyzing the information.
The post at LLVM.org explains of the LLVM Foundation for those unfamiliar, "The LLVM Foundation originally grew out of the need to have a legal entity to plan and support the annual LLVM Developers' Meeting and LLVM infrastructure. However, as the Foundation was created we saw a need for help in other areas related to the LLVM project, compilers, and tools. The LLVM Foundation has established 3 main programs: Educational Outreach, Grants & Scholarships, and Women in Compilers & Tools."

An investment executive at the Qatar Investment Authority is reported to be planning his own hedge fund.
The man is question is Kamel Maamira, head of the global investment portfolio at Qatar Holding, a branch of the emirate's sovereign wealth fund. According to the New York Times, he will launch a fundamental value strategy focusing primarily on the Gulf Cooperation Council states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
Whether the fund will be a true long/short fund remains to be seen, as the Middle East imposes restrictions on short positions.
Maamira was previously a partner at the Boston Consulting Group.
With assets under management of $170 billion, the Qatar Investment Authority is the world's ninth largest sovereign wealth fund, according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute.

Fujifilm FinePix S602Z Pro review
May 30, 2005 • Review of Fujifilm FinePix S602Z Pro
I've had my S602Z now for almost 2 years and took some great pics with it. The camera is very easy to use and most certainly helped a novice like me to take good pics. Unfortunately my camera fell into muddy water recently and is going to be replaced by a S5500. FujiFilm has won me over with the quality.
Power usage and battery life indicator coming on too late.

We've grown up in the age of extreme sports. Not only did we get to see the X Games when it was a new thing, but we also got to see sports like snowboarding make their way into the Olympics. I'm sure many of you have tried (and failed if you're anything like me) your hand in at least one extreme sport. The best thing about extreme sports is that they're huge confidence boosters for kids. While just playing baseball isn't usually good enough—you actually need to be good at it—being able to do an extreme sports is an accomplishment in itself. That's why it's a perfect outlet to help "enhance the health, abilities, personal growth and social engagement of people with autism," which is what the Basalt, CO based non-profit, Extreme Sports Camp, is all about.
I don't know much more about autism spectrum disorder than what pop culture (Rain Man for example) has taught me, but I do know that Extreme Sports Camp sounds like an amazing opportunity for children with autism. The goal is to help campers "more fully engage in everyday life," and I find that sports are often extremely effective at inducing that kind of positive change. The camp offers both summer and winter sessions, and they maintain a 1:1 counselor to camper ratio while only accepting 15 campers per session. The staff at Extreme Sports Camp "receives extensive training in autism learning styles and characteristics," so they're not just experts in extreme sports. If you'd like to join the staff, you should check out Extreme Sports Camp's Jobs page along with their job application, which says that they're looking for Counselors, Junior Sounselors, Ski and Snowboard Pros, Ski and Snowboard Pros Buddies, Program Staff, Office/Administrative Staff, and Fundraising/Event Support Staff. You can fill out the application to apply, and you better not be scared of extreme sports like I was as a kid.

Alex Chinneck is back with a thatched sculpture that moves as the wind blows
Remember the guy who painstakingly brought us 312 identically smashed windows, 1248 pieces of glass in an abandoned warehouse? Well, he's back, this time with a curiously fantastical new sculpture inspired by the thatched roofs of yore.
This 17ft tall, sculpture that rings of witch-hunts, town criers and Constable's The Hay Wain is a whopping 1.5 tonnes, and is designed to move around as the wind blows. I don't know if it's because it's exhibited in a lovely garden of a stately home (we all love a bit of National Trust) or whether it's because it reminds me of something from a fairy tale, but there is something truly, magnificently beautiful about this piece. Well done Alex!

David Stockman is the ultimate Washington insider turned iconoclast. He began his career in Washington as a young man and quickly rose through the ranks of the Republican Party to become the Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. After leaving the White House, Stockman had a 20-year career on Wall Street.
At the podium, Stockman's expertise and experience cannot be matched, and he has a reputation for zesty financial straight talk. Defying right- and left-wing boxes, his latest book catalogues both the corrupters and defenders of sound money, fiscal rectitude, and free markets. Stockman discusses the forces that have left the public sector teetering on the edge of political dysfunction and fiscal collapse and have caused America's financial system to morph into an unstable, bubble-prone gambling arena that undermines capitalist prosperity and showers speculators with vast windfall gains.
Stockman's career in Washington began in 1970, when he served as a special assistant to U.S. Representative, John Anderson of Illinois. From 1972 to 1975, he was executive director of the U.S. House of Representatives Republican Conference. Stockman was elected as a Michigan Congressman in 1976 and held the position until his resignation in January 1981.
He then became Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, serving from 1981 until August 1985. Stockman was the youngest cabinet member in the 20th century. Although only in his early 30s, Stockman became well known to the public during this time concerning the role of the federal government in American society.
After resigning from his position as Director of the OMB, Stockman wrote a best-selling book, The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed (1986). The book was Stockman's frontline report of the miscalculations, manipulations, and political intrigues that led to the failure of the Reagan Revolution. A major publishing event and New York Times bestseller in its day, The Triumph of Politics is still startlingly relevant to the conduct of Washington politics today.
After leaving government, Stockman joined Wall Street investment bank Salomon Bros. He later became one of the original partners at New York-based private equity firm, The Blackstone Group. Stockman left Blackstone in 1999 to start his own private equity fund based in Greenwich, Connecticut.
In his newest New York Times best-seller, The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America (2013), Stockman lays out how the U.S. has devolved from a free market economy into one fatally deformed by Washington's endless fiscal largesse, K-street lobbies and Fed sponsored bailouts and printing press money.
Stockman was born in Ft. Hood, Texas. He received his B.A. from Michigan State University and pursued graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School.
He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife Jennifer Blei Stockman. They have two daughters, Rachel and Victoria.
Alan Brochstein, CFA, was the first investment professional to devote himself to sharing his observations about the cannabis industry from an investor's perspective publicly. He runs 420 Investor, a subscription-based due diligence platform for investors interested in the publicly-traded cannabis stocks and is also the founder of New Cannabis Ventures, a content aggregation site focused on investors and entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry.
Alan has worked in the securities industry since 1986, primarily with the responsibility for managing investments in institutional environments until he founded AB Analytical Services in 2007 in order to provide independent research and consulting to registered investment advisors. In addition to advising several different hedge funds and investment managers, including Friedberg Investment Management, where he participated as a member of its investment management committee, Alan was also a senior analyst for the independent research firm Management CV. In 2008, he began providing a first-of-its-kind subscription-based service for individual investors, Invest By Model, which offered two different portfolios that investors could replicate in their own accounts for $20 per month. Alan also offered The Analytical Trader at Marketfy, where he used fundamental and technical analysis in a disciplined process to offer specific trade ideas geared towards swing traders.
Alan launched www.420Investor.com in late 2013 as the premier source of information for "Green Rush" investors seeking to capitalize on the proliferation of legalized medical and recreational cannabis. In March 2014, Alan, who is a member of the National Cannabis Industry Association, began to focus solely on the cannabis sector. He launched www.NewCannabisVentures.com in late 2015.
You can follow Alan on Facebook (www.facebook.com/420investor) or on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Invest420). Alan also moderates a large LinkedIn group focused on the cannabis industry, Cannabis Investors & Entrepreneurs (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/6523904)
I am a dividend investor and look for undervalued investments in the stock market. I identify misunderstood and undervalued equity investments and hold those securities until their price approximates my estimate of intrinsic value. I am a long-term investor only.
I am building a $100,000 high-yield income portfolio. I am running this portfolio as an experiment to see if long-term sustainable income can be generated from a diversified pool of high-risk, high-yield securities. I am willing to accept high risk in order to meet my performance goals.

My goal is to bring exposure to business development companies (BDCs) that finance small to medium sized businesses, typically overlooked by banks. BDCs are an instrument for investors to earn healthy dividends by avoiding double taxation at the corporate level and allowing income to flow directly to each shareholder.

My name is Ted Leach. I'm a 65-year-old investor focused on dividends in a Retirement Income Portfolio. I'm not yet in the distribution phase of retirement. After serving as a pastor for 40 years, I'm in a second career and I have two part-time jobs. As Director of Community & Property Care, I'm part of a management team that oversees 123 residential retirement units in multiple locations for a non-profit organization. I also serve a large congregation as a part-time associate pastor.
I've been a member of the National Association of Investment Clubs (NAIC) since 1982, which now operates as BetterInvesting.org. For many years as a volunteer I helped lead workshops to teach tools developed by NAIC to educate investors about how to do basic fundamental stock analysis. I continue to have a strong interest in investor education.
NAIC's historic "four principles" have been very helpful to me:
1) invest regularly throughout your lifetime;
2) invest in growth companies;
3) reinvest earnings and profits;
4) diversify by industry and size.
Bill Bengen's "4% Rule" concept inspired me to set a goal to create a retirement income portfolio of individual dividend growth stocks as a way to tap only dividend income from the portfolio as long as possible rather than selling assets.
Here is my current 25-stock portfolio:
- 5 stocks each with a 5.2% target allocation: JNJ, XOM, MSFT, PG, MMM
- 5 stocks each with a 4.4% target allocation: WMT, MRK, IBM, CMI, GPC
- 5 stocks each with a 3.6% target allocation: EMR, SO, WEC, CNP, HCP
- 5 stocks each with a 3.0% target allocation: PEP, T, O, EPD, WPC
- 5 stocks each with a 2.4% target allocation: UNP, NNN, STAG, MAIN, EVA.
Helpful mentors and colleagues include:
- Charles Allmon, former columnist for Better Investing, taught me to look for growth stocks
- Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor taught me the importance of intrinsic value
- Peter Lynch instilled confidence that the average citizen can win in the stock market
- Louis Rukeyser demonstrated how to ask probing questions about market conditions
- Brad Thomas introduced me to a host of real estate investment trusts

- David Fish and Factoids inspire me to keep digging for data
- Chowder reminds me that each buy is the purchase of a business
- BDC Buzz has helped me sift through business development companies
- Tom Konrad opened my mind to alternative energy investments
- George Fisher is a helpful "lookout" scanning the horizon for utility opportunities

I'm a value investor and always on the lookout for new ideas. Unlike some investors, I don't limit myself to any sector.
I found opportunities in various sectors including financials, energy, consumer staples, industrials, technology, and consumer discretionary. Although I'm not a top-down investor, I do look at macro factors to give me clues. Because I live in Canada and have a portfolio that is denominated in CAD, I mostly write about Canadian companies (in the TSX index). However, I'm quite knowledgeable abut many S&P500 companies as well.

Steven Bavaria writes about finance, economics and politics, drawing on his forty-five years experience in international banking, credit, investment, human resources/training, journalism and public service. Now retired from his "day job" on Wall Street, Bavaria lives mostly off his investments. His focus is largely on income-oriented stocks, bonds and mutual funds, as well as closed-end funds, ETFs and other IRA-suitable investments. His book "Too Greedy for Adam Smith: CEO Pay and the Demise of Capitalism" was just published and is available on Amazon and at independent retailers.
Bavaria began his career at the Bank of Boston, where he handled international credit workouts that included managing a fleet of ships, chasing a Vatican-owned bank in Switzerland, and leading the turnaround of troubled branches in Australia and Panama. He also ran the bank's human resources department, which is where he saw personally the beginnings of many of today's executive compensation excesses.
More recently he worked at Standard & Poor's, where he introduced ratings to the leveraged loan market. In between Bank of Boston and S&P he was Assoc. Commissioner of the Massachusetts Dept. of Mental Health, worked briefly for Citibank, and was a reporter for IDD Magazine. He also did a short stint at a smaller rating agency where he had to leave in a hurry after writing an article called "From Banker to Bookmaker" that was deemed a bit too candid in describing the conflicted role of major commercial and investment banks.
Bavaria graduated from Georgetown University and New England School of Law.

My name is Todd Johnson. I'm a family man, sports fiend, health nut, technology buff, long-time stock investor, and a very lucky mountain climber, all of which has shaped my philosophy as a professional investor for the last 30 years. As my interests might suggest, I am always looking for the upside while striving to minimize risks.
My new passion, which I have realized through DividendLab.com project, is helping other investors learn more about investing; investing in stocks and other assets that are subject to wide price swings can actually enhance their returns when the right investment strategy is applied. To that end, I read company 10k and 10q statements so they can skip them. I compile and analyze the market research that isn't always at their fingertips. And I don't make any investment recommendation without committing my own funds first, which is the purest form of accountability.
I am an individual investor that invests in dividend paying stocks. I look for solid businesses that consistently generate profit, and share that money with investors through growing dividends.

Splitsville in Scottsdale for Cubs and Giants
Robert Hernandez was clubbed for seven runs in a nightmarish bottom of the 1st inning and the EXST Giants cruised to 9-3 victory over the EXST Cubs on Indian Bend Park Field #4 in Scotsdale this morning, but not to worry too much, because Logan Watkins and Matt Cerda drove-in two runs apiece and Su-Min Jung and Toby Matchulat combined to throw six innings of two-hit shutout ball, as the another squad of EXST Cubs defeated another squad of EXST Giants 5-1 at Indian Bend Park Field #3, in a game played simultaneous to the one on Field #4. And I was able to watch both games simutaneously, too.
Dwayne Kemp returned to the lineup (he was a DH on Field #4) after missing a week-plus of games while nursing a sore quad, and he looked rusty, too, striking out in each of his first three ABs.
And the Cubs didn't bring enough position players along to fill the normal two DH slots. Outfielders Jae-Hoon Ha and Francisco Guzman did not make the trip to Scottsdale today. I know Ha is injured (he has been in shorts and t-shirt for several days now), but I don't why Guzman was absent.
So then here are the abridged box scores from the two games (Cubs players only):
1. Jose Valdez, CF: 3-4 (1B, 1B, 5-3 SH, 1B, 6-3 - 1 R, 1 SB,1 CS)
2. Logan Watkins, SS: 2-3 (L-8, 1B, BB, 1B - 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 SB)
3. Matt Cerda, 2B: 2-4 (F-7, 1B, 2B, F-7 - 2 RBI)
4. John Contreras, 1B: 0-3 (6-3, 5-3, BB, K)
5. Jericho Jones, RF: 0-2 (BB, BB, K, 3-U - 1 R)
6. Chris Weimer, LF: 0-4 (L-6, L-6, K, F-8)
7. Juan Medina, C: 1-4 (1B, F-7, K, F-9 - 1 R)
8. George Matheus, 3B: 1-4 (F-8, 2B, 3-1, F-9)
9. Jose Guevara, DH: 0-1 (F-8)
NOTE: #9 spot in order was skipped until the 8th inning, when hard-workin' Jose Guevara was finally able to get an AB after being assigned to warm-up pitchers (from both Cubs squads) in the bullpen for most of the game.
1. Su-Min Jung - 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 5/2 GO/FO
2. Toby Matchulat - 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 2/3 GO/FO
3. Yohan Gonzalez - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP,1 WP, 2/2 GO/FO
SS Logan Watkins had two errors (one throwing error and one fielding error, both allowing the batter to reach base safely), and 3B George Matheus had one fielding error allowing batter to reach base, although the batter was immediately thrown out 7-4 (LF Chris Weimer to 2B Matt Cerda) when he tried to take 2nd on the play.
1. Hak-Ju Lee, SS: 1-4 (F-8, 1B, F-7, 6-3 - 1 RBI)
2. Dwayne Kemp, DH: 0-4 (K, K, K, 5-3)
3. Kevin Soto, CF: 1-2 (1B, 6-3, BB - 1 R, 1 SB)
4. Sean Hoorelbeke, 1B: 1-3 (6-4 FC, F-8, 1B - 1 R, 1 SB)
5. Alvaro Sosa, C: 0-3 (K, 6-3, K)
6. Robert Bautista, 3B: 2-3 (K, 1B, 2B - 1 RBI)
7. Jesus Morelli, RF: 0-3 (K, F-8, P-4)
8. Sean Williams, LF: 0-3 (K, 4-3, 5-3)
9. Jose Made, 2B: 0-1 (BB, K, BB - 1 R, 2 SB)
1. Robert Hernandez - 2.1 IP, 9 H, 7 R (7 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1 HR, 3/4 GO/FO
2. Dionis Nunez - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 4/1 GO/FO
3. George Pineda - 1.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1 GIDP, 4/0 GO/FO
P George Pineda had one fielding error (dropped throw covering 1st base) leading to two unearned runs scoring later in the inning, and 1B Sean Hoorelbeke had one fielding error (two base error, batted ball caromed off his glove and into right-field foul territory, allowing batter to reach 2nd base)
Alvaro Sosa: 0-2 CS
WEATHER: Temperature got up into the 90's by the end of the games, but it was also partly cloudy
ATTENDANCE: 13 (including Hak-Ju Lee's family visiting from South Korea)
Re: Splitsville in Scottsdale for Cubs and Giants
AZ Phil......We really appreciate your reports.....i've heard that the quality of the umpires for these games is pretty bad. Are these umpires real young and just starting out there umpiring careers? Are our coaches coping well with these guys trying to learn the strike zone?
Re: Splitsville in Scottsdale for Cubs and Giants
Argh, disappointing start for Hernandez after all those good relief appearances. How serious is Jae-Hoon Ha's injury? Thanks!
Also, Francisco Guzman was promoted to Peoria.
Re: Splitsville in Scottsdale for Cubs and Giants
People should keep in mind that there's no umpiring in baseball (well maybe T-Ball) that is easier than ML umpiring. You've got the biggest crews, you've got the same players typically from year to year, and you've got guys who are generally around the strike zone. In these low minor games, or HS or College games you have kids thowing fastballs over people's heads one pitch, then nailing the outside corner the next. It's hard to focus when you're jerking your head around constantly and half afraid the next passed ball is going to be off your facemask. And you don't get paid anything.
If you think Bobby Scales story is great - follow the story of your average ML umpire.

Not to worry -- I'm sure Hammel will finish strong in the 2nd half of the season (~sad chuckle, reaches for Scotch bottle~).
Hammel has had a rather challenging last month. I am hoping post-break that Hendrix gets pushed ahead of him. They'll be lucky to win a game in NY
hey, alright...cubs losing by 9 and a 3rd rain delay. awesome.
If baseball does not work out for Patton, I think he's got a future in Civil War re-enactments. He's got a solid Johnny-Reb look to him.
David Ross - the mound awaits you.
RIP jason hammel's awesome ERA.
10 ER in 4ip...almost a full point tacked on tonight, alone. 5HR given up tonight. oogly.
Nimmo certainly does not want to see the Cubs leave town. His first MLB rbi last night and now his first HR.
At least Hammel is eating some innings ... this is the kind of game Peralta should be used if at all.
OK, the hell with it.
It's July 1 -- Hammel starting to suck right on schedule.
Other than sweeping the Reds -- a bad team actively trying to lose -- this will make 8 losses in 9 games to good teams (Cards, Marlins, Mets). Not good at all.
Belicheat a consultant for the Red Sox?
And, so, Jason Hammel decides to test my new resolution right away. Sheesh.
No Wright, no Duda, no Granderson -- no problem for NY. Ugh.
game restarting...degrom on the mound, hammel taking his AB.
rain delay...bah.
Indians extend their streak.
Darwin Barney gets tagged with the loss.

BRADSBEARD: Javier Assad was still pitching into the 6th inning, and the first batter he faced reached base on an E-4 (that was Assad's 70th and final pitch of the game). Then Leathersich relieved Assad and retired the second batter 4-3 on the first pitch of the AB (the runner at 1st base advanced to 2nd on the play), and then on an 0-1 pitch the third batter in the inning (second one faced by Leathersich) lined into an inning-ending 6-4 DP (baserunner doubled off 2nd base). When calculating GO/AO, double plays and triple plays count as only one out.
Wow. The site actually loaded without an error! Happy 4th all, and Go Cubs!
