Cubs Get a B.J.
The Cubs have signed recently released Toronto Blue Jays reliever B.J. Ryan, according to the Chicago Tribune. The article says he'll first report to Mesa and then Triple A Iowa before supposedly joining the Cubs at some point in the 2009 season.
I figured they'd sign him and rush Sean Marshall back into the rotation until Ryan Dempster was back, but it looks like the Cubs have another plan. Maybe when Ryan is set to join the major league club, they'll send Marshall down and have him stretch out in the minors getting ready for an inevitable injury. Or they'll just send Jeff Stevens or Jeff Samardzija down and go with two lefties.
UPDATE: Bruce Levine says it's a one year minor league deal and he'll be working on building up his arm strength, so he might not be joining the Cubs any time soon. They could even be breeding him to try to return as closer for next season assuming Kevin Gregg leaves via free agency.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
This actually intrigues me. The guy was good just last year. A change of scenery, with a new pitching coach, may help him make that minor adjustment to be a dominating, or at least good or decent, pitcher again.
He was pretty good in June. And has been decent against lefties this year.
Definitely well worth the risk.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
great signing. he could be hurt but his numbers against lefties weren't horrible. at worst he'll be a real loogy.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I think it's a good move as well, even if he doesn't face a righty at all. The bullpen definitely needs some 6th and 7th inning support, and he's one guy who can potentially do that.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Who are they going to breed him with so that the baby is ready to pitch next year, Mork?
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I wish it were B.J. Surhoff. Still not a bad gamble, just don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed if he can't get it together.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
thank god it's a minor league deal. maybe he'll be up by september to throw 86mph fastballs with no control.
i didn't know the deck chairs needed rearranging that badly...but at least it's low/no risk.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
He's a lot more likely to contribute to the big league team than any given player we drafted. Maybe he'll be able to keep Marshall out of left field.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I don't think that Escobar or Guzman are really going to be that much better than Baker/Fontenaught in the 2nd half, assuming the idea is to move Theriot back to second.
I wouldn't think the braves are too high on Hoffpauir, his bat seems to be a lot like Kotchmans', trading some power for some OBP.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Never read this before, long story detailing baseball and steroids.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
ibid for what ya'll are saying.
Wasn't Troy Percival out for a year with perhaps similar issues?
He has had an excellent re-birth.
Maybe the Cubs will get lucky with another reclamation project?
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
troy wasnt throwing mid/high 80s with no control, though.
i see very little upside to bj...that said, i see very little downside considering it's a minor league deal and it's highly likely he'll stay there until Sept. unless someone gets injured or he shows something.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Makes you wonder why the Jays didn't just disable him.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Is Randy Bush the new Dick Pole?
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Damn, I got all excited and thought the Rays had given up on Upton.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Didn't know there was such thing as a good BJ and bad BJ, did you?
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Sadly, yes. I am not going to google it for you, and I am not trying to imply that this particular one is a shared experience, but Perry Ferrel has got a story about a bad one.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I don't think that's a story I'd want to be in on.
Re: Cubs vs Nats
Speaking of reclamation projects, Marmol has given up his hup-hup-pose (I call it mad dog, but it could be called walking dog). Although he walked Morgan, he picked him off in a crucial 8th inning moment. Now if we can get Sori to stop da hop.
Re: Cubs vs Nats
Now if we can get Sori to stop da hop.
The hop is the least of Soriano's worries.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Was Harden throwing a slider tonight? He struck out Zimmerman on a wicked-looking pitch in the first or second inning. It was timed at 88 mph on the TV radar gun. I didn't even know he throws that pitch.
He's just two different pitchers, home and road.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Milty: "I'm gonna be hitting the whole second half. Um, starting tomorrow."
What a complete tool.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Did you think that when he said this he was guaranteeing an 80 game hitting streak?
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
No, but it's just classic for a all-mouth tool to guarantee he's gonna hit, then go 0-for-5 and be the only starter not to reach base against a team that is 40 games below .500.
Just shut up and hit, Milton. Don't worry, we'll notice.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Any chance we can trade for that Sam Fuld -- he reminds me of Grady Sizemore. Maybe we can ship out Bradley for him.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
[Fuld] reminds me of Grady Sizemore.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I see this as a low-risk, high-potential move. His name still evokes memories of that lights-out closer he used to be; He's not that guy anymore, this is clear, but he's a veteran and knows what it takes to get back on track and could be the next effective Cub's loogy.
They could even be breeding him to try to return as closer for next season assuming Kevin Gregg leaves via free agency.
Thank god this is just speculation. This isn't going to happen.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
I figured it was almost a certainty when I heard about it a few days ago. I'm just glad it's a minor league deal.
I'm really glad he wants to "do it the right way" and "figure his delivery out", but I'm just not sure what there is to figure out. He doesn't throw 92 anymore. Draw your own conclusions as to why that is, but he just doesn't. He can't come inside to right-handers and he's gotten into a nice routine of hanging breaking balls. I'm not particularly optimistic that there's anything to figure out or fix. But, the good news is that if there isn't, he can learn that in Iowa instead of in a pennant race.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
imo...there is nothing to figure out.
he's thrown 1 way most of his life...an inverted L style of delivery kinda like the inverted W people like to pick on except he keeps his elbow on line or below the shoulder.
he's shredded his elbow and had it patched, his shoulder is an on/off nagging thing...even with a healthy elbow it doesn't look like he's comfortable throwing the way he knows how.
i would be pretty surprised if he changed anything now, but when you're throwing mid-80s and lacking clear control it's time to do something i guess. he's made a claim to "work on delivery" before, but he's never made it while going to A-ball to do it.
Re: Cubs Get a B.J.
Recent comments
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.

Mobius Says His Funds Buy More Europe Stock Amid Debt Crisis
Templeton Emerging Markets Group's Mark Mobius said that his funds are buying more European stocks amid the debt crisis.
"The stocks in the European countries have gone down excessively as a result of the bad news emanating from this crisis and we find good investment opportunities at bargain price and we are increasing the purchases of these stocks," Mobius, who oversees more than $40 billion as executive chairman of Templeton Emerging, said in Bucharest today.
Central and eastern European shares are cheaper than in other developing nations, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Europe Index trading at six times estimated earnings, compared with 10.5 times for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and 12.4 times for the MSCI World Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"We don't think the crisis will last forever and the European economies will recover nicely, there will be much more fiscal disciple in one year or two," Mobius said, adding that he was buying shares in consumer-oriented companies and was focusing on eastern Europe.

The Insider
Antonio Sabato Jr., 24, is furious about recent reports tagging him as a "deadbeat dad." The story, which originated in the New York Post, questioned whether Sabato had been properly supporting his 1-year-old son by his ex-girlfriend, actress Virginia Madsen, 33. Sabato, who this season joined Fox's Melrose Place as Jack Parezi, called me from Austria, where he's shooting a miniseries for European TV, to say he has been taking care of Madsen, "financially, and with my heart," since he met her in late 1993. The couple's child, Jack, is "the most important thing in my life," says Sabato, who says Madsen left him earlier this year, taking the baby with her. "I was terribly in love with her," says Sabato, "but I know now that I was set up. She wanted a baby. She had one with me, and then she left." Money for the child, however, "remains my responsibility," he says, "no matter what." Madsen had no comment....
I also spoke with Chris Thompson, the executive producer of the new ABC sitcom The Naked Truth, regarding recent reports on his love life. "I am in love with Tea," he says of his show's leading lady, Tea Leoni. Thompson says his initial working friendship with her became something deeper over the summer, and in August he told his wife, Tracy, that he "wasn't happy and wanted to be with someone else." Thompson and his wife are now separated....
With books by comics Ellen DeGeneres, Tim Allen and Jerry Seinfeld all spending time on the bestseller lists, it's no surprise that ex-late night TV talk show funny man Jon Stewart has been courted for a book too. A source close to Stewart says the 32-year-old comic recently turned down a lucrative offer to write a book about generation X. Stewart nixed it, says the source, because he's uncomfortable with the subject....
And speaking of books, the working title of Howard Stern's encore volume of memoirs is Sloppy Seconds. It'll be out in mid-November....
What if O.J. Simpson is acquitted? Will he become the biggest star in Hollywood or the biggest bust, his career forever clouded by scandal? I posed this question to four top Hollywood players: an agent, a manager, a publicist and studio head. The agent: "He'll be huge. He'll have opportunities galore and will make a fortune with a big, fat, nasty book. Of course, he'll probably have to move out of town." The manager: "I think he'll have a tabloid career along the lines of Joey Buttafuoco, Tonya Harding and John Wayne Bobbitt." The publicist: "There will be an initial curiosity, and I'm sure he'll make money. But any kind of career like he had before will take a very long time and a lot of community service." The studio head: "It makes me nauseous, but the truth of the matter is that people do forget. In two or three years, who knows, he could be a hero again."

This piece of quilled eye candy was created by Susan Myers, of Suzy's Artsy-Craftsy Sitcom, and it's not only one of the coolest reproductions of Van Gogh's Starry Night, but one of the most awesome artworks I have ever seen.
I wrote a post about the art of quilling some time ago, and it became one of the most popular posts on Oddity Central, so I expect many of you are going to find this particular artwork fascinating. Quilling basically means cutting colorful strips of paper and rolling them with a special tool, but it's a lot harder than it sounds. Creating advanced shapes out of paper strips and placing them in the right position requires genuine skill.
Susan Myers is an artist with a mission – to complete one of her UFOs (Unfinished Objects) every month. In the month of June she worked on a quilled replica of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night, one of the most famous paintings in the world, and finally managed to finish it in late July. But noticing the attention to detail in her work it's easy to understand why it took her a little longer than planned. She started her masterpiece by drawing the basic outline with a white-color pencil on a large sheet of thick blue cardstock. Then she grabbed her quilling tool, a paper cutter and colored cardstock and the rest is history.
I discovered quilling a year ago, and since then I have posted a number of impressive works of art created using only strips of colorful paper, but I haven't seen anything as impressive as Babushka since Susan Myers' recreation of Van Gogh's Starry Night. It takes a lot of skill to shape simple pieces of paper into a detailed artwork, but Yulia Brodskaya has definitely taken quilling to new heights, using light and shadow to create an awe-inspiring masterpiece that carries a powerful emotional message. The Russian-born artist says Babushka is "the first piece in the series of works which I consider a declaration of love to the material and the technique. It is also an attempt to raise a profile of this paper craft, which has been previously regarded with some disdain, and to bring this type of artwork on a new level in terms of its ability to convey meaning and emotions." She's definitely up to a great start and I can't wait to see what she does next.
I found this post on odditycentral.com and the article was written By Spooky on October 26th, 2011

DALLAS -- Responding to a sexual abuse scandal that rocked one of the country's most prominent Olympic sports, USA Swimming expanded background checks, approved new athlete protection measures and made it mandatory for members to report any credible allegations.
The measures were approved by wide margins Saturday at the group's annual convention in Dallas.
"We have been committed throughout this process, to doing the right thing, and taking actions that, first and foremost, will foster a safe and positive environment for our athletes," said Jim Wood, the outgoing president of USA Swimming. "Our membership really stepped up today to provide their overwhelming support to this important issue."
All non-athlete members of the USA Swimming must now pass a criminal background check, a move that will cover between 30,000 and 40,000 additional members. Also, anyone who interacts directly with swimmers, including local club owners and chaperones, must join USA Swimming.
The screenings, which had been required every two years for coaches, will now be updated on a "real-time" basis so any infractions will turn up more promptly in the database. The board of directors already voted earlier this year to subject coaches and officials to a search of county court records for their homes over the previous seven years before they can be approved for membership.
Any club affiliated with USA Swimming must conduct specific pre-employment screenings before hiring any coach, employee or volunteer who would be in a supervisory position over athletes. The national governing body recently approved a list of more than 20 companies that can provide those checks.
The expanded background screenings go into effect Jan. 1.
USA Swimming also required all non-athlete members to complete an "Athlete Protection Education" program as a condition of membership, beginning with the 2011-12 season. The program must be updated every three years.
In addition, athlete protection polices approved by the board in July were formally added to the USA Swimming Code of Conduct. Coaches are prohibited from giving rubdowns to swimmers -- even if licensed in massage therapy -- and must have the permission of a parent or guardian before they can visit a swimmer's home. On the road, coaches are barred from sharing a room with athletes regardless of gender (unless it's their own child) or traveling alone with an athlete without a parent's written permission.
The organization's rulebook now includes specific guidelines for reporting allegations of sexual abuse to a new athlete protection officer, Susan Woessner. Failing to report misconduct, retaliating against someone who does or making a false allegations will be violations of the conduct code.
"Reporting must occur when an individual has firsthand knowledge of misconduct or where specific and credible information has been received from a victim or knowledgeable third party," the new rule says.
Woessner was formally introduced to the membership on Saturday. She is a former competitive swimmer who has worked with the U.S. national team and has a master's degree in social work from the University of Texas.
USA Swimming has already released a list of former members receiving lifetime bans, mostly for sexual misconduct, and acknowledged a second list of people who were "flagged" for alleged misconduct against swimmers but did not face disciplinary action because they weren't current members.
The board voted in July to take those cases before the National Board of Review. Anyone who declines to attend their hearing or loses their case will be added to the list of banned officials.
On Saturday, the governing body went a step further: approving a measure that brings any rule or code violation by a member under the jurisdiction of USA Swimming, even if that person is no longer part of the organization.

Equal night in Latin. An as this image so demonstrates a church or castle look as the moon shine its rays from overhead. The clouds add to a more noir quality to the image, and I like it.

text: News Local Delegate Hopeful for Unity After DNC Opens to Boos and Jeers By Joy Powers • 14 hours ago The Democratic National Convention just kicked off in Philadelphia and things were tense. Emails leaked last week from the DNC are leading to the resignation of DNC chairperson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The release of the emails seemed to exacerbate an already volatile situation. Televised speeches from the convention were drowned out by chanting, many shouting for reforms and booing at the mere mention of presumptive candidate Hillary Clinton. Modern Trucks: More for Show and Less For Utility By Dan Harmon & Mark Savage • 15 hours ago Long gone are the days of compact pickup trucks where the fanciest gadget you may have inside the cab is a radio. Today, pickup trucks are the top 3 selling vehicles in the North American market. But even as their sales numbers have risen, they're used less and less for work and more as a luxury family vehicle. New trucks are able to seat up to six adults, have a multitude of gadgets, and can easily cost up to $50,000. #080 Precious Lives: You're A Man, Fight Through It By 371 Productions • 15 hours ago 17-year-old Tommie Harbin was never in a gang, never dealt drugs, never carried a gun. Avoiding violence never seemed that hard. Tommie kept busy. Mostly, he played basketball. Because when he plays basketball, he feels most like himself. Still Tommie got shot. And now he has to rely on the same mental toughness - the kind that earned him recognition as a basketball star to bounce back. But it's not easy. Concerns Afoot Over Plans to Hire 150 New Milwaukee Police Officers By LaToya Dennis • 16 hours ago Milwaukee is seeing a surge in some crimes – such as car thefts. Several Common Council members are now suggesting the city up its police force by 150 officers. In order to do so, Milwaukee voters would have to approve a referendum. But getting the question on the ballot by November could be a challenge in itself. Milwaukee alderman Terry Witkowski is behind the push to increase Milwaukee's police force by 150 officers, but he says voters must make the final decision. 'Next Actors' Program Lets Teens Try Their Hand At Creating A Play By Rachel Morello • 19 hours ago Summer is in full swing, and many Milwaukee kids are in the throes of summer camp. And for a group of local teenagers, it has been a mix of work and play. The Evolution of Milwaukee's Former Pabst Brewery Complex By Joy Powers • Jul 25, 2016 When the Pabst Brewery closed its doors in downtown Milwaukee in 1997, it was unclear what would become of the area. It was littered with abandoned buildings and for almost a decade, the area sat largely unused. Then in 2006, the complex was bought by Joseph Zilber, a philanthropist and real estate mogul, who was nearing age 90 at the time of its purchase. He passed away just a few years later, at the age of 92. Filling A New Milwaukee School, One Front Porch Conversation At A Time By Rachel Morello • Jul 25, 2016 A number of people in Milwaukee are creating schools. It's possible, in part, because of the community's thriving charter and voucher school programs, which provide public funding. Bublr Bikes Expands Program and Lowers Prices for Low-Income Communities By Adam Miller • Jul 25, 2016 Bublr Bikes is expanding its operation to two, low-income Milwaukee neighborhoods, thanks to a $64,000 grant from the Better Bike Share Partnership to Milwaukee's Housing Authority. Bublr Bikes is partnering up with non-profit bike shop DreamBikes and the Housing Authority, and will use the grant to hire ambassadors to increase bike usage and lower the price for locals. Wisconsin Delegates At Democratic National Convention Confident of Unity By Marti Mikkelson • Jul 25, 2016 Now, it's the Democrats' turn. The GOP wrapped up its convention in Cleveland last week. Today, Democratic delegates are gathered in Philadelphia for their party's presidential nomination convention. More than 80 of them are from Wisconsin. We caught up with a few before they left; they expect to come away unified. Carmen Cabrera is attending her first Democratic National Convention. She predicts things will go smoothly, with delegates uniting around her candidate, Hillary Clinton. "I think we are going to have the momentum, the enthusiasm, the passion," Cabrera says. Radio Chipstone: 'Senior Scenesters' By Gianofer Fields • Jul 23, 2016 Photo courtesy of Gianofer Fields If you are a lover of live music, you may have seen a few grey haired folks standing a bit too close to the stage. According to Lake Effect contributor Gianofer Fields, they're known as the Senior Scenesters and they aren't going anywhere. Musician Lisa Marine moved to Madison in the late eighties and found herself at one of Madison's Music Meccas...O' Cayz Corral. Arguably one of the birthplaces of the Madison Punk Scene, it was destroyed by fire in 2001. Three years later it reopened as the High Noon Saloon and continues to host bands from Madison and around the world. Ex Fabula: The Art of Creativity By Ex Fabula • Jul 23, 2016 This weekend marks the 29th Milwaukee Gallery Night and Day presented by the Historic Third Ward. Gallery Night welcomes both art aficionados and amateurs alike to visit nearly fifty participating galleries and other venues throughout Downtown Milwaukee. In honor of Gallery Night, we're sharing some favorite stories on creativity, inspiration and yes, art. Gov. Walker Appoints Attorney Dan Kelly to Wisconsin Supreme Court By Marge Pitrof • Jul 22, 2016 Attorney Dan Kelly will replace retiring Justice David Prosser, as of August, and is expected to leave the court's 5-2 conservative majority intact. According to the Associated Press, Kelly included in his application materials, his stated opposition to same-sex marriage and his belief that affirmative action is akin to slavery. Kelly has defended the redistricting plan Wisconsin Republican legislators drew in 2011. One court found that the boundaries denied Milwaukee Latino voters of adequate representation and ordered the state to redraw two districts. Recapping the 2016 RNC with Local Delegate Bob Spindell By Joy Powers • Jul 22, 2016 The Republican National Convention ended last night with a bang. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took to the stage for the final speech of the convention. The four-day convention was rife with controversy, but is that really so different from any other year? Milwaukee delegate Bob Spindell was at the convention in Cleveland this year. This marked his sixth convention as a delegate, although he believes he's attended a dozen conventions overall. Although many felt this year's convention would be unlike any other, Spindell had his doubts. After Early Success, Singer Jackie Evancho Continues on Her Vocal Path By Mitch Teich • Jul 22, 2016 There are a lot of musicians who make a splash at an early age. But even with that as a given, Jackie Evancho's history stands out. Evancho started making a name for herself, singing at events like talent competitions and before baseball games at the age of 8. By the time she was ten, she competed on the TV series "America's Got Talent." Wisconsin Waterfalls to Visit By Mitch Teich & Stacy Tornio • Jul 22, 2016 If the heat has you thinking about getting out to a visit a waterfall close by, Lake Effect contributor Stacy Tornio can offer some suggestions. It was just a couple of weeks ago that she talked about a more ambitious trip to Niagara Falls, and although Tornio says there's nothing in Wisconsin that really compares, there are still some great spots in the state.

Looking for Its Luther
No god but God
The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam
Reza Aslan
Random House, $25.95, 336 pp.
Although it may not have felt like it, September 11 was just fallout. According to Reza Aslan, the West, with its great commercial center in downtown New York City, was "merely a bystander" in an ongoing conflict raging within Islam. This struggle has left a crater at the center of his religion that is so huge its creation generated a cloud of dust that we mistook for—and misnamed—the epicenter. In short, we've all been wrong about the location of ground zero.
Referring to 9/11 as fallout, or implying that Islam itself was in some ways more damaged by the attacks than the United States, does not minimize the tragedy of the day. Aslan, a doctoral candidate in religion at the University of California, Santa Barbara, knows well that thousands of dead cannot be considered collateral damage. And for this very reason, neither can the attacks be understood as jihad: Islam's own highly regulated guidelines for "just war." It is precisely because the attacks were so indiscriminate, says Aslan, that they were "roundly condemned" and unsanctioned within a Muslim world that takes seriously the requirements laid out in the Qur'an for jihad. Aslan belongs to this Muslim world, and No god but God is his explanation to the West, an apology and defense of his faith, and a "critical reexamination" of Islam that is as soulful as it is smart.

BayHawks open homestand today
The Erie BayHawks kick off a four-game homestand today against the D-League's worst team, the Delaware 87ers, at 2 p.m. at Erie Insurance Arena.
The BayHawks (6-15), losers of two straight after winning four of five, have won both meetings with Delaware (3-20) this season, including 123-102 a week ago on the road.
The 87ers have the D-League's worst record and allow 115.0 points per game, also worst in the league.
Today's game is expected to mark the debut of newly-signed forward Micah Downs, signed Friday. The 6-foot 8-inch, 200-pound Downs played at Gonzaga, and has experience in the D-League with the Maine Red Claws and overseas in Spain, Venezuela and Ukraine.
He averaged 16.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in 48 D-League games last season.
The BayHawks dropped their second straight game Saturday, 115-92 at Maine. Justin Brownlee led all scorers with 26 points, Alex Oriakhi had 17 points and nine rebounds and Mustafa Shakur added 17 points and five assists.
The BayHawks continued to struggle from 3-point range, hitting only 5-of-18 attempts and shooting below 30 percent for the second game in a row. They were out-rebounded 45-31.
Guards Scott Suggs, the team's leading scorer, and Lewis Jackson remained out with leg injuries.
Damen Bell-Holter led Maine with 24 points and Frank Gaines added 18 points and 10 rebounds.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Inn at Kulaniapia Falls Hilo
Brilliant location with wonderful grounds. Good breakfast. Room comfortable but little disappointed with view in the queen lili room , said it riverside but could not see river due to vegetation.
I think some of the other reviews study.family and s.s.hill are for wrong hotel
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls Hilo
Hidden Gem
If you enjoy finding unusual, off-the-beaten-path,places to stay then this is the place for you. We booked 1 night in Hilo to end our Big Island stay. Len, the owner, was the most gentle, kind, person you could hope to meet. The Inn is very secluded and you travel through acres and acres of mac trees to reach it. This is best done during daylight. This place is incredible and worth the extra time to find it!
The large waterfall is right outside the Inn and you can sit and enjoy yr breakfast while seeing the waterfall and listening to it's sounds. There are 3 additional waterfalls on the property as well.
My husband broke his foot on the volcano hike. I knocked at Len's door at midnight requesting an ice pack. He was kind and very helpful. His daughter was delightful as well! This is the kind of guy you expect to meet at a bed and breakfast!
We stayed in the King K ? room and had a beautiful view of the waterfall. The rooms do not have air conditioners but at night it wasn't needed at all. I was actually chilly during the night. We were out during the day time exploring.
You will need bug spray because of the rain in Hilo draws the biting insects. Len provides the sprays and lotions which worked fine.
Breakfast was wonderful. If you like hidden treasures,and want to meet the friendliest folks on the Big Island, and enjoy incredible views, this is the place for you. This is a good place to stay at prior to flying out of the Hilo airport which is nearby. Don't miss staying here for a night or two. Great for couples who value seclusion and romantic settings with a new age feel!
A Great Experience
The Inn provided us the best of all worlds for our recent trip to the Big Island. We were within easy reach of all the Island destinations yet the Inn location provides the beauty and respite as only a country setting can do. The Suttons and their gracious staff took excellent care of us. The rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable and the breakfast offerings are GREAT!!
A Place of Serenity
Our 10 days far exceeded our expectations. The peace and serenity of the Inn is only matched by the warmth of the Sutton family and staff. This is truely a place to find renewal. Treat yourself to the true spirit of Hawaiian hospitality.
World class property is how I would define The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls. We found our accommodations clean and freshly painted with some very nice chinese funiture along with incredible views of an amazing 120 ft waterfall. Len and Jane Sutton are more than gracious with their time and aloha and have an incredible vision of how their 22 acre parcel should be developed. The road leading to the property is a country road with some pot holes and rough areas, however, as others have stated, have patience because what lies at the end of the road is truly remarkable. We have reccommended this Bed and Breakfast to our friends and are hoping to return next year.
Absolutely terrific
My family and I spent 3 incredible days at the Inn at Kulaniapia in Hilo this last January. We felt fortunate to have found this jewel on the internet. the setting is absolutely gorgeous with not just one waterfall on the property, but four. One of which is 120 ft tall and falls into a pond thats about 400 ft in diameter. A trail leads to a Bamboo Garden were there are 3 more waterfalls. Although the Inn is remote, we found the staff very gracious, and the breakfast was very complete. the guest rooms are well appointed and clean. Our room had a terrific view of the large waterfall. We would highly reccommend this B&B to anyone that wants something private, quiet, and off the beaten path.
Huge disappointment way off the beaten path
What a disappointment - non gracious and vacant of hospitality is how I'd characterize this inn. It is not 10 minutes from Hilo as stated in their description - the inn is located at the very end of a very long dirt road riddled with machinery. We walked down to the falls but there is no path to take you down to the water easily and the water was frigid. Also, full of mosquitos, as was our room. We found cans of bug spray downstairs.. but no mention to beware the bugs. Not recommended at all.
Let me just say that the 300 ft wide pond at the base of our 120 ft waterfall is not a swimming pool like you might find at a resort. It is pretty much in its natural, pristine condition. There are paths to the water, but you must pick your way among the large boulders to reach the pond.
The temperature of all streams on the big island are approximately 68 degrees, which is brisk, but on a hot day, it is wonderful fun.
Hilo gets over 100 inches of rain annually. There are mosquitos, but no more at Kulaniapia than elsewhere in East Hawaii. We have no standing water anywhere on our 22 acre parcel. If you venture to the river between the hours of 4 pm and 7 pm, you will see more bugs then say in the morning or afternoon, but some bugs are part and parcel of the lush vegetation that you will find here.
We cant comment on our supposed lack of hospitality, but I don know that we have two girls and myself that work hard every morning to assure our guests are comfortable and well taken care of.
Your own personal waterfall
We really enjoyed our two night stay at the Inn at Kulaniapia. The accomodations were clean, comfortable and beautiful. Both the family and innkeeper were very welcomng.
As some others have noted, the drive to the inn takes some patience, but is well worth the trip. Your reward is a quiet location and beautiful view of Kulaniapia falls and the Hilo airport. That said, this is a better location for a romantic getaway than a place for small children.
We were so impressed with the falls and had a chance to swim at the bottom. We had the place to ourselves and actually returned there for more after visiting other, less accessible falls in the area.
Make an effort to visit the Botanical Gardens when you are in the area.
It is well worth the trip. The restaurants and market in Hilo are also good to visit.
Overall, we felt that the inn was a great value. We also paid much more for less at other locations in our Hawaii trip.
Not Family Friendly
We were at the Inn at Kulaniapia last year, and we found the B&B was very remote. The private dirt road leading to the place was so full of potholes, you had to drive really slowly not to get stuck in a rain-filled hole. Hilo is pretty hot, and we had to keep the veranda open for a breeze. Unfortunately, the veranda is not screended, and the place being so wet, was teeming with mosquitos. One of the least restful stays on that vacation.We stayed for several nights with our child, and we found that the proprietor was NOT at all kid-friendly.
The way he blew up at us & my child about removing our shoes while inside, was over the top. There was another family in an adjacent room, and they also felt the same way. We were looking forward to the end of that stay. We're returning to Hawaii this year, but we're definitely staying somewhere else.
Morning coffee with the falls!
We stayed for only two nights at the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls. After our first night stay we reqretted not booking more nights here. The Inn is located approximately 4 miles from the town of Hilo. Be patient during this short drive, you are about to experience a 5 star B & B! We booked the Prince Kalakaua room, which had a great view of the bay and the sunrise. Arriving at night, we could only hear the falls. We had the best two nights of sleep in two weeks due to the quiet location of the Inn (the sound of the falls lulled us to sleep). Much to our surprise, as we left the room and decended the stairs to have breakfast on the main lanai, the falls were absolutely beautiful. The Inns website does not do the falls justice! The flora on the grounds of the Inn that surround the falls is exceptional. Breakfast included all the Kona Coffee you can drink, toast, bagels, coffee cake, mango, papaya, pineapple, bananas, nuts and a great choice of either scrambled eggs or an omelette. From the Inn you have a short drive to the Volcano National Park and Hilo attractions. This Inn is an extremely good value. We have paid much more for less at other resort areas, internationally and within the US. We plan on returning to the Big Island and will definately stay at the Inn at Kulaniapia again!

FDA Finds Silicone Breast Implants Safe, But Prone To Fail With Age
Today the Food and Drug Administration said that silicone breast implants are generally safe, when used as intended. And the devices don't seem to cause autoimmune disease, breast cancer, or reproductive problems, as some previous reports had suggested.
But the agency also said that women frequently have problems with the implants, so much so that they often have to have surgery to remove or replace them.
"Breast implants are not lifetime devices," Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, head of FDA's device division, said at a press conference. "The longer a woman has silicone-filled breast implants, the more likely she is to experience complications."
Those complications include hardening of the breast, scarring, and rupture of the implant, which requires surgery to remove or replace it.
In research on women with implants prior to 2006, 20 to 40 percent of the women who got implants for cosmetic reasons, and 40 to 70 percent of the women who got implants for reconstruction after breast cancer, had surgery to deal with problems.
Silicone breast implants have been used since the 1960s, but were taken off the market in the United States in 1992 because of concern that gel leaking from the implants could cause cancer or autoimmune disease.
In 2006, the FDA let two companies sell the devices again, Allergan and Mentor, a unit of Johnson & Johnson. One condition: The companies were required to do studies following 40,000 women for 10 years. A five-year review of those data showed no big new safety issues, FDA officials said today.
But critics said that study data aren't very useful, because the researchers have lost touch with more than half of the women originally enrolled. That's true for earlier studies, too. "In some of the studies they have a 5 percent response rate," Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Research Center for Women and Families, a private nonprofit that monitors breast implant safety, told Shots. "It could be that they're perfectly happy with their implants, but you can't assume that."
Women who get implants for cosmetic reasons are least likely to participate in safety studies, yet they account for the majority of breast implants. In 2010, 297,000 women in the United States got implants in order to increase their breast size, while 90,000 women got implants for reconstruction, mainly after mastectomy for breast cancer.
In January, the FDA reported a possible association between breast implants of all types and a rare type of cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma. This autoimmune cancer grows next to the implant. There have been 34 such cases reported worldwide, a very small fraction of the 5 to 10 million women around the world with implants.
Silicone implants can leak, and it's usually impossible for women to feel that rupture. So the FDA says all women getting silicone implants should have an MRI after three years to check for silent rupture, and every two years after that. Those scans can be expensive and may not be covered by health insurance, though.

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 36 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lou Cleats were very comfortable! They fit him well. They left the hard, plastic sensor on one shoe. He needed them right away for a game so my husband was able to cut it off. I was not happy that Dick's did that! October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Yr Great shoe Bought these shoes for my 13 year old son. They are true to size. He loves them. They are wide enough for his foot and says they are very comfortable. There was no breaking in period. October 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Baseball Mom These shoes fit right and feel good It seems lately some of the cleats run small, they are tight and will rub the skin right off your heal! These shoes are comfortable and have a good fit well worth the money spent. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by B Good cleat Good fit, good quality shoe. Son really likes them and has been through a number of cleats over the years. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by GG Great shoe, very well made My son says they are the most comfortable cleat he's had . September 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Trevor at Adrian College Very Comfortable, Look Great Love these cleats. Very comfortable and they look great. As a pitcher, I like the toe guard on the front. I think that will help cut down on wearing out of the toe. They seem to run small because the first pair I got in the size I normally wear was too small. Got a half size larger and they fit great. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by UncleMarko Most Comfortable on the Market My 14 year old son wore the 3030's for a season and loved those. He told me after wearing the 4040's that these were even more comfortable than the 3030's. Recommend this spike highly above the rest. It's extremely light and durable. He did not "wear out" his 3030's. He simply outgrew them. It didn't take long to decide which replacement to buy him. He'll wear New Balance as long as he plays baseball. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by wes The New Balance 4040...not good.. I purchased these on line...paid $106.00 for them...the first time my grandson wore them they split!! Could not believe that these shoes tore like they did...he only weighs 110 pounds...!! I could have purchased a shoe that cost much less....not at all happy with this purchase.. June 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jamaal Great cleat Very comfortable and responsive. Love the look as well April 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by lk2 No arch support While the look of the cleats are nice, to wear them for a full game is very difficult unless you have flat feet because there is no arch support. April 17, 2014

Christopher Nolan has a way with actors, and after performing in one of his movies, the thespians tend to come back for more. Just look at his three Batman films, which all feature Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Bale and Caine also appeared in The Prestige, while Inception stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard all showed up in The Dark Knight Rises. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, The Dark Knight Rises star Anne Hathaway is in talks to re-team with the director in his next film, Interstellar.
Little is known about the film, which was originally written by Jonathan Nolan for Steven Spielberg . With Christopher Nolan now in the director's chair, he took his own pass at the script, which is based on the wormhole-based time travel theories of physicist Kip S. Thorne.
The Warner Bros./Paramount Pictures co-production is also circling Matthew McConaughey to star as Cooper, one of the travelers on a ship that will traverse space and time. Interstellar is set to begin filming on Nov. 7, 2014.
The movie is going to film until November of NEXT year?
"isn't going to film until November of NEXT year?"
Hmm seems like he keeps using(recycling) the same actors. Should be interesting.

text: Peepholes — that's what tapestries were good for. You hung them with the broken threads just on top of certain holes in the oak panelling of the wall underneath. Within the wall itself, there was a space just wide enough for a watcher to walk through. John Mowbray, an Elizabethan "spider" (a spy in modern parlance) gives us this bit of tradecraft as he snoops on his employers at Hampton Court Palace early in Margaret Lawrence's astonishingly good new historical novel about the fate of the Roanoke Colony in the New World. Mowbray is the book's narrator, but it is his remarkable colleague Gabriel North who holds center stage. We first meet North as he saves Elizabeth's from assassination in 1585. His dubious reward: orders to set sail for the New World in a foolhardy convoy. Commanded by inexperienced and unworthy officers, the Roanoke Colony became one of history's most baffling mysteries, its occupants disappearing into the shadows of time. Lawrence wonderfully layers on top of this enigma a queen to rival Elizabeth. North is sent to Virginia to seduce a fictional Native American woman called Na'ia: "Na'iya — so the Secota tribesmen spoke her name, with a slight stop of the throat, as though she took their breath away…" She and North begin a tangled relationship, he first winning the hearts of the widow's two young children and then earning their mother's love and loyalty. But when North is called back to England by Elizabeth, Na'ia appears to go on with her life as before. Only a brief, heartbreaking final scene on a Breton beach lets us know the truth.

text: Posted April 29, 2012 I hate when ppl assign grades based on need. drafting on need makes you reach for players. which means you get less value out of the ones you pick. also, listening to a lot of commentators leads me to believe that not a single one pays attention to the panthers more than to watch the highlights. all they talk about is us picking up a DT. while that was a weakness last season, it is easy to see that we are better off than last season. Ron Edwards is coming back, plus our two rookies have a year under their belt, and have a vet to rely upon now. I agree, but the national media doesn't realize that DT wasn't even an area of need.

Haven Swimmer IV Simons Signs With Gardner-Webb
Published: Friday, November 22, 2013 at 7:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 22, 2013 at 7:27 p.m.
WINTER HAVEN | IV Simons isn't just an athlete.
The Winter Haven swimmer signed a combined swimming and academic scholarship with Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C., on Friday at Polk State College in Winter Haven.
Simons has a weighted 4.1 GPA and finished No. 3 in the 100 breaststroke at the FHSAA Class 3A state finals in Stuart last week. He also finished No. 6 in the 200 IM.
"I've been shooting for this since I was 11-years old," Simons said. "It's exciting to know that in a couple of months I will be up in North Carolina training with a great coach and a great program."
The senior also won the Region 2 championship in the 100 breaststroke and 200 IM at Rowdy Gaines Pool two weeks ago.
"IV has always been a consistent swimmer," Winter Haven head coach Danny Wallace said. "He has always done the extra things, and that has gotten him where he is at, and I am sure he will in college, too."

Analysis of the Powder River Basin Federal Coal Lease Sale:
Economic Valuation Improvements and Legislative Changes Needed
RCED-83-119: Published: May 11, 1983. Publicly Released: May 11, 1983.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 275-7756
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated many sensitive and controversial issues surrounding the April 28, 1982, sale of coal leases in the Powder River Basin Federal Coal Region and its implications for the overall success of the Federal Coal Management Program.
GAO found that the Department of the Interior did not investigate the possibility of the disclosure of proprietary data or its potential impact on the sale. However, GAO could not verify the details related to this alleged disclosure. Interior did make two major changes in its coal lease sale bidding systems to permit the determination of fair market value after the sale rather than before. GAO found that Interior's new entry-level system and minimum bidding concept resulted in the receipt of low bids because of minimal bidder participation. The combined accepted bids on two sales were $3.5 million less than Interior's original minimum acceptable bid estimates. GAO believed that the approach used by the evaluation team, although imperfect and in need of some adjustment, was reasonable under the circumstances and provided a technically sound basis for estimating the fair market value of the tracts. However, GAO found that the lease value estimates undervalued the tracts by $95 million. GAO also noted weaknesses in the fair market value determination procedures, since the procedures were overly dependent on data derived from the sale itself. GAO found that Powder River coal sold at roughly $100 million less than the GAO estimates of fair market value at the April and October sales. A GAO analysis of maintenance leases showed that none of the tracts sold at fair market value.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In revamping the Federal Coal Management Program, Interior considered proposing legislation to negotiate the sale of captive or maintenance-type bases. The idea was abandoned because it felt that the negotiations would be too difficult to administer. GAO disagreed because its analysis shows negotiated sales to be the most effective means of obtaining fair market value for captive lease tracts.
Matter: Congress should amend the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, to: (1) authorize Interior to negotiate captive or maintenance-type leases; and (2) require Interior to publish for public comment information derived at sequential phases in the lease negotiation process. To ensure public and industry awareness of the lease negotiation process, and to provide ample opportunity for affected parties to influence the process, Interior should be required to publish its: (1) intent to negotiate a proposed maintenance lease; (2) decision to negotiate the lease as proposed and its evaluation of public comments; (3) intent to sell the lease and the proposed sale terms; and (4) decision to sell the lease as proposed, or under modified terms, and its evaluation of public comments. To facilitate future evaluations of the negotiation process, Congress should amend the Mineral Lands Leasing Act of 1920 to require that detailed records be kept of the negotiations, including evidence presented by government and industry representatives, and of its disposition.
Recommendations for Executive Action

So tonight, without even realizing it, I made my 300th post. In looking back over the past 18 months, 300 posts isn't that many, but it is a start. And when I look at my archives, I'm proud of some of what I blogged about (I think I'm still the only person to have blogged from one of Microsoft's CIO Summits). I also want to thank people like Scott W. for providing the software and the opportunity (I started on ASP.NET weblogs before I was a MS employee), Brad Wilson for encouraging me to give it a shot, and Scoble for advice on blogging and for sending over a few visitors (ok, more than a few).
On the other hand, I have much more to do and many ways to improve. So I've decided to make some blogging resolutions for the next 100 posts:
If there is anything else that people want to see on this weblog, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts.
