Braves Targeting Aramis
That's the story on NBC Sports citing Talking Chop of SB Nation, which isn't what I'd call a go-to news source. But alas it's out there and if the Braves do put in a waiver claim, I'd like to hope Hendry just lets him go to the Braves and saves the money for the rest of this year and most likely next. Granted, Aramis still has a a NTC and would have to approve the deal even if the Cubs just let the waiver claim go through, but it would take the Cubs off the hook for 2011 on the assumption that Aramis was going to exercise his option.
Not much else going on, nice little weekend of playing spoiler to the Cardinals by taking two out of three, but they couldn't keep the momentum going today against the first place Padres. Gorz pitched well for six innings, but then the 7th happened and then the bullpen and the Cubs stayed within a half game of the 5th pick in the 2011 draft. After the game, Lou felt the need to vent about the young pitchers whose names he'll forget by Day 2 of his retirement.
The signing deadline for the 2010 draft came and went on Monday and according to Cubs.com, the Cubs signed 29 of their 50 picks, 15 of their top 16 picks and 21 of their top 25. The top holdout was 6th round pick Ivan Dejesus (standard disclaimer that he's not related to that Ivan Dejesus).
According to tweets by Chicago Cubs Online, Oneri Fleita mentioned ont he radio that Chris Archer, Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters will be 3 of the Cubs heading to the Arizona Fall League with Vitters getting time at 3b and 1b. The Cubs will send 2-4 more players when they make their official announcement later this month.
UPDATE: As I noted, Talking Chop should not be your go-to news source as just about everyone with the Braves is dismissing the idea.

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
I can't wait for what kind of miserable ad campaign Ricketts dreams up next year. This year, from Spring Training on, they ran radio ads that didn't even mention the Cubs, it's all about Wrigley Field and "come visit Wrigley Field" and how "Wrigley Field is a way of life", coupled with some idiot actor telling some dumb story about how their life is so much better when they find time to hang out at Wrigley Field. No mention of baseball, the Cubs, any players, etc. Wayne Messmer's voice comes on at the end to promote tickets for a certain date, that's the only reference to the team or baseball. The commercials make me want to rip my radio out and throw it out the window.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Next year's Cubs radio ads will include, "Come see the yellow noodle! The Toyota sign! Or have your picture taken with the new Wrigley Field mascot - Greenie the Whore! Greenie is an obnoxious but lovable dollar bill who rifles through your pockets, taking every last penny."

Shark now 10-2, I'd love to hear an interview with Sandberg describing his opinion on Zija's season.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
His impression should be that he's been ridicuously lucky in not giving up HR's on the fly balls he does give up, and that he should be traded to any team that doesn't realize that during the off-season. The K's are up to a nice rate, but with all those walks and fly balls, he's a ticking timb bomb of ERA explosion.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
he's a ticking timb bomb of ERA explosion
with a no trade clause.
I'm not saying he'd use it. I'm just saying he has one.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Yep, I would think at this point he feels jerked around enough that he'd accept a "fresh start" trade. Especially if the rumors of his rampant ego are true.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
He still could play in the NFL. Maybe some team will have an injury and come calling?

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
According to Cot's Contracts, if Ramirez is traded and he exercises his 2011 option for $14.6 million, then his 2012 season becomes guaranteed at $16 million. That makes trading him much less likely.
I've also read/heard contradicting reports on whether a waiver claim requires a player to waive his no-trade clause. If the Cubs put ARam on waivers and the Braves (or any team) claimed him, can't we just say, "OK, he's yours" and that's not technically a trade. If we asked for players back, that's a trade and would require ARam's approval.
Does anyone know what the actual rules are? AZ Phil?
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Check out AZ Phil's Corner at the top of the page.
In the 40 man roster piece there's a section on Trade Assignment Waivers.
Here's the money quote, "A player with "no trade" rights can refuse both a waiver claim and a trade assignment, however."
P.S. I miss AZ Phil

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Wait... weren't you complaining about DLee not waiving his NTC?
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
This. Were the Braves open to accepting his options in this scenario, I'd bitch a little more, but no one is going to do what's proposed here.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Sounds like things were discussed:
Thus Wren did at least explore the possibility of acquiring Ramirez. But when the veteran third baseman was unwilling to adjust his contract, this option no longer made sense from a financial perspective.
The Braves could certainly find a way to afford the approximate $4 million that Ramirez would be owed for the remainder of this season.
But with Jones at least currently committed to return next year and earn the $14 million that he is owed, the Braves aren't in a position where they would could also afford the $14.6 that Ramirez will be guaranteed when he exercises his player option for the 2011 season.
And to top things off, if the Cubs do trade Ramirez, his $16 million option for the 2012 season becomes guaranteed.

Leave the HC statue alone, Wheel the Billy Williams statue in the batters box when the Cubs get RISP, it will strikeout less than Soriano
Problem solved. Team upgraded.

It's the right move, but he probably should've waited until Dutchie died.

Whoops. Maddon must have been reading TCR (for his daily crunch) and got confused.
kuhl is a righty, not a lefty.
i think maddon might think kuhl is a lefty, too. i wonder what the reasoning is for baez leading off vs a rightie.
"trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo."
that's from my 1st post. there's no suck involved in that. maybe with a few less posts about bullshit that point would have jumped out more.
crunch - you do know that, taking defense out of the equation, Trout has led the AL in wRC+ each of those years, right?
And, if you want to complain about position adjustment (which would be serious #crunchsplaining), he's been in the top 3 in the AL in WC (not park/league/position adjusted). And the only players ahead of him (if there were any players ahead of him) in any of those years have been DHs or 1B that play lousy defense.
But sure - Trout sucks (or at least isn't as good as WAR says). Because it factors in defense and position.
early tim tebow stuff rolling in...
ran a 6.7 60yd (above average)...shagging flies in RF and showed off a rather impressive arm a few times, but average-at best on most of his throws...hit a few over the fence (both fields), fouled or weak contact a few...he's got a touch of power
it'll be interesting to see who bites on this project, if anyone. he probably projected himself out of RF and into LF/1st because of his arm, but unless he can make that power work on a steady basis it'll be hard for him to play himself up anyone's system.
LHP Clayton Richard (released by the Cubs earlier this month) is pitching very well as a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres and could be a good candidate to get traded to a contender looking for a veteran SP before tomorrow night's post-season roster eligibility deadline.
Because they released him, the Cubs are paying most of Richard's 2016 salary (the Cubs are on the hooks for $2M, minus the pro-rated portion of the MLB minimum salary that is paid by the Padres).
it is honestly awesome (for real) that anyone would even have a strong opinion on AZL playoffs. i guess if you invest enough time watching it, you want to see a fair/just playoff structure.
plus, the kids deserve it.
The AZL team with the best record over the course of the full 2016 AZL season and the only AZL team to play .600 ball (the AZL Dodgers) did not qualify for the AZL playoffs, and the AZL East Division team with the best record over the course of the full season (the AZL Athletics) did not qualify for the AZL playoffs, either.
That's because of the ridiculous "split season" schedule most of the minor leagues now play, a stupid system that rewards mediocrity at the expense of the worthy.
Despite good movement on his fastball, I think location kept him from getting Ks. Left some pitches up and away that got hammered up and away. Then of course Travis Wood gave up the 2-run double in the 7th, but both runs counted against Arrieta.
"i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date."

i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date.
In this instance, yes, I care more about the result of this big thing that isn't really a big thing.
Two things:
Fangraphs WAR #s include baserunning and Hamilton is elite at that. He leads in SBs with the 54 and and has an 87% rate which is really good. I'm sure once he gets on base he's able to take the extra base quite often too. Both those things will up his overall WAR value.
The differences between BR and FG WAR is pretty well documented online and thus If there are discrepancies it's fairly easy to figure out why. It's fairly well accepted that BR WAR is fine as a snapshot but FG is better at predicting future value.

Meretnyyazov failed to stop a men's bantamweight bout on Wednesday despite one fighter being knocked down six times in the final round.
He was expelled with immediate effect and AIBA said he was on his way home.
A second referee, Frank Scharmach of Germany, was suspended for five days by AIBA and a technical official from Azerbaijan sent home.
"I deeply regret that we had to take these decisions," AIBA President Wu Ching-Kuo said in a statement.
"However, our main concern has been and will always be the protection of the integrity and fair-play of our competitions. I will take all possible steps to reinforce this."
He later told Reuters: "There is only one truth and we always get to the truth."
Japan's bantamweight Satoshi Shimizu, trailing by seven points going into the last round against Magomed Abdulhamidov, knocked the Azerbaijani down six times, the first of which he struggled to get up from.
The judges scored the round 10-10, handing Shimizu two extra points for a warning against Abdulhamidov, who propped himself up against the top rope as the referee raised his hand in victory.
The 25-year-old fighter was helped out of the ring by his trainer and Shimizu's team appealed the outcome.
The Japanese boxer's team leader Masamori Yamane accused the referee of trying to support Abdulhamidov by attempting to fix his headgear.
After deliberating for over an hour, AIBA said that under its rules, the referee should have given the Azerbaijani fighter "at least" three standing counts which would have resulted in the contest being stopped.
They, therefore, overturned the result, handing victory to Shimizu, who was staggered by the original decision hours earlier.
"I was shocked about the result. He fell down so many times.
Why didn't I win? I don't understand," Shimizu said, adding he thought the referee should have stopped the fight with Abdulhamidov obviously groggy in the final round.
"This is the second Olympics I have attended and even in Beijing I wasn't happy about the judgement, so I don't know what to do about that. I am really not happy about that."

92-95 points Wine Advocate: "...pretty, layered, medium to full-bodied and elegant 2013 that has perfumed raspberry, pepper, dried herbs and assorted floral aromas and flavors. Juicy and lively, with good acidity, it should be approachable on release and have 10-12 years of overall longevity."
Previous vintage notes: Very engaging. The Viognier component lifts the aromas right out of the glass. This is the most forward of the three Syrahs showing dark, vibrant, sweet black raspberry and liquid stone notes towards the finish. - Marcus
In the Rocks brings together the soft characteristics of Viognier with the Syrah to create wonderful aromatics of truffles, leather, braised meats, Kalamata olives and sweet shortbread cookies. - the winery
2009 Vintage
The 2009 is very limited, call or email to order.
2009 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Firm in texture, with tannins not obtrusive but tightly packed with the dark berry and licorice flavors. Hints at black olive and tar as the finish lingers expressively. Drink now through 2019. - H.S.
Scents of stone, slate, sea salt, dry field herbs - exotically intriguing. Lots of mineral, herb, fresh tobacco, Nicoise olives, plum and berry note in this dense, mouthcoating wine. - Jean
Fascinating beef teriyaki, smoke, and olive aromas mingle with lavender, spices, and sweet red fruits. Benefits from some time in the glass (or decanting), and then rewards with lush dark fruits and a long, long finish. - Adrienne
Violets, a cut field, added plum and black berry fruit, with greater intensity. Dark cherry elements, a touch of strawberry jam, white pepper, a little leather, grilled herb and a hint of brine come together. The even-handed finish rolls. - Marcus
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
Wine Advocate 95 points - The 2008 In the Rocks with 6% Viognier and 2% Marsanne, gives up alluring notes of roasted meat, bacon, pepper, lavender, and blueberry. Beautifully proportioned, precise and lengthy, this pleasure-bent offering will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2023. All of the Syrahs spent 18 months in barrel with approximately 15% (or less) new oak. - Jay Miller
The In The Rocks Syrah 08 was co-fermented with roughly 6.5% Viognier and 1.5% Marsanne to create a wine that aromatically is bursting with smoke, fresh strawberry, white flowers, hints of burnt sugar, dried lavender and strong meaty flavors throughout.
Concentrated dark fruits in the mouth and a small amount of sea salt give this wine complex flavors and a balanced finish. Very approachable in its youth but we recommend a few years of cellaring for optimal enjoyment. - the winery
2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
Wine Advocate 94 Points - The 2007 In The Rocks Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier. Medium purple-colored, it offers up a sexy perfume of bacon, game, Asian spices, incense, lavender, blueberry, and plum. Dense, rich, and full on the palate, it has the structure to evolve for several years, but a succulent fleshiness makes it approachable now. - Jay Miller
"This Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier, which brings out very floral aromatics as well as enhancing the color of the wine. The wine has a great balance of ripe strawberries, white pepper, dried lavender, and violets. In The Rocks pairs well with a variety of foods, but also stands well on its own. This wine will be very approachable in the first few years, but also will benefit from years of aging." - the winery
"The 2007 Reynvaan In The Rocks Syrah carries aromas of bacon fat, smoke, licorice, iodine and sea spray. Rich, extracted, its berry, plum and currant fruit is matched with significant flavors of earth, forest floor, herb and bark. The tannins are still a little rough and green, but the stuffing and balance are there to age gracefully." - wine advisor Paul Gregutt, paulgregutt.com

McCourt's ability is in absolutely no doubt but after two years at Celtic under three different managers he has still to complete a competitive 90 minutes.
At 26 the player is frustrated by the lack of first team chances which are further limited by the SPL rule that clubs must list three U21 players in their match day squads. Ian Holloway is an admirer of McCourt and wants to add to Blackpool's 16-man squad for their first ever Premier League campaign.
Celtic paid Derry £100,000 for McCourt two years ago and are believed to be looking for £750,000 from Blackpool despite the player being in the final year of his contract.
McCourt played in centre midfield in the win over Seattle and was involved in everything that Celtic created, finding time on the ball and space to link with team-mates.
Less that 48 hours on from their defeat by Manchester United in Toronto Lennon changed his entire team in order to assess his full squad.
Samaras scored from the penalty spot for the second game running and is believed to be interesting several Spanish clubs who were impressed by his World Cup performances for Greece.
The former Manchester City striker is also in the final year of his contract with Celtic believed to be ready to do business if a £2m offer is put in front of them.

Computer-Generated Motion Pictures of One-Dimensional Quantum-Mechanical Transmission and Reflection Phenomena35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1973991View Description Hide Description
We describe the details involved in presenting the time development of one-dimensional quantum-mechanical systems in the form of computer-generated motion pictures intended for pedagogic purposes. Concentrating on reflection-transmission phenomena, we formulate the problem in terms of a Gaussian wave packet impinging on a square well or barrier and being reflected and transmitted. The wave equation is solved numerically by methods discussed in detail and photographs of the wave packet vs position at a variety of times and for a range of projectile energies are given.
Dynamical Friction35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1973994View Description Hide Description
Although a basic assumption in Chandrasekhar's theory of the dynamical friction acting on a star in a cluster has been regarded as disqualifying his theory for adaptation to an electron in a plasma, it is shown here that a new adaptation, with recognition of a contrast between the effects of other electrons and of ions, leads to a good formula for the friction. That is, it leads to a formula agreeing with one which Sitenko and Chien deduced from the Fokker-Planck equation. Disagreements with certain other Fokker-Planck theories have been traced to definite errors in these theories. Finally, Chandrasekhar's assumption that the friction exerted gravitationally on the star is the same as if only one other star acted on this one at any one time has been re-examined; and relatively simple reasons have been found for the validity of the electrostatic equivalent of his assumption, even though great numbers of electrons and ions act on an electron in a plasma at any one time.
Experiment35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1973998View Description Hide Description
An experiment has been designed for undergraduateeducational use. Deuterons from a 150-keV Cockcroft-Walton accelerator bombarded a thin target, producing , , , , and . Equipment utilized is of the type which is either in or available to many departments of modest size. Properly used, such equipment constitutes an educational tool, teaching current research methods at reasonable cost. To this end, protons, alphas, neutrons, and gammas from the above reactions have been examined in a manner designed to be most instructive. Alpha and proton energies have been measured as a function of laboratory angle, and compared with kinematic calculations. Absolute differential cross sections have been derived from these data. A spectrum has also been made of the gammas from and . Gamma-proton and gamma-neutron coincidences measurements have been used to verify energy-level assignments. Angular correlation of the observed alphas has also been studied to show conservation of momentum and the effects of center-of-mass motion.
Olbers', Halley's, or Whose Paradox?35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974001View Description Hide Description
The problem of the darkness of the night sky, or Olbers' paradox, as currently referred to, received but sporadic attention on the part of astronomers and cosmologists until the formulation of the steady-state theory in 1948. The frequent references by the proponents of that theory to Olbers' views on the paradox are, however, at a baffling variance with the contents of Olbers' original paper published in 1826. This situation is a telling illustration of the scientists' often unscientific handling of the data of scientific history.
Concerning a Kind of Truncated Quantized Linear Harmonic Oscillator35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974004View Description Hide Description
In quantum mechanics the linear harmonic oscillator representatives of the canonical observables and are certain well-known infinite square matrices, and , with denumerable sets of rows and columns. It is pedagogically useful to investigate various problems which arise when one considers the finite matrices and which result when and are truncated after the row and column, where is some preassigned positive integer. So that the enquiry may be more instructive, it begins with an abstract formulation of the problem of the "truncated harmonic oscillator." Formally, the latter has the usual Hamiltonian , but and are not canonical—their commutator now differing from i by a certain projection operator. The spectrum of and the (finite) basis generated by are found by standard methods, though there are now some complications which are absent from the theory of the linear harmonic oscillator. The diagonalization of and presents no difficulties if full use is made of the classical theory of Hermite polynomials. The spectrum of is the set of zeros of the Hermite polynomial. Although the wavefunctions are therefore functions of the discrete variable , one can formally contemplate them as functions of a continuous real variable ; and some curious intimations of Schrödinger representation appear. The analog of a component of orbital angular momentum is considered, and its spectrum obtained. Finally, the asymptotic limit is briefly discussed, in order thus explicitly to dispel the impression that this limit might somehow represent the "usual" linear harmonic oscillator.
Invariant Velocity Components: A Key to Newton's Analysis of Keplerian Planetary Motion35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974007View Description Hide Description
A graphical model of Keplerian planetary motion is used to deduce the inverse-square law of force. Invariant velocity components are utilized that reflect the geometric properties of the elliptic planetary orbit and the geometric characteristics of the vector quantities, force, and linear momentum.
Interference-Fringe Counting as an Aspect of the Doppler Shift35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974010View Description Hide Description
Experiments suggest that the effect observed with Manchester's microwave Doppler-shift apparatus may be interpreted as a counting of interference fringes. This fringe-counting frequency is the same as that obtained from the Doppler-shift lower beat frequency, and does not invalidate the use of the apparatus for velocity measurements. In reflection from a moving mirror, and other Doppler-effect experiments where interference is possible, fringe counting may be regarded as an aspect of the Doppler effect; the connection between the fringe-counting frequency and the Doppler-frequency shift is provided by the fact that a linearly time-varying phase is equivalent to a constant-frequency shift.
Quantitative Experiments in Electrostatics for the Elementary Laboratory35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974013View Description Hide Description
Electrostaticexperiments can be performed successfully even in humid climates if precautions against surface moisture are taken. A generator capable of delivering charge at a fixed, reproducible potential is described. A commercial electrometer is used as a high-impedance voltmeter to permit various experiments involving static charges on capacitors. The electrometer permits the construction of a simple probe for exploring both the magnitude and the direction of an electric field. The transition to circuit electricity is made by experiments employing capacitor discharge.
Some Remarks Concerning the Phenomenon of Ambipolar Diffusion in Gaseous Discharges35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974015View Description Hide Description
The phenomenon of ambipolar diffusion is one of the most fundamental in the gaseous plasmas normally encountered in glow discharges and low-pressure arcs. In spite of its apparent simplicity, its manifestations outside of a few "classical" situations can be relatively complicated, and make it a difficult matter to treat with a sufficient degree of generality. The extensions to the case with an external electric field, to that of a noncylindrical positive column, to that of a plasma with a magnetic field are considered. A possible clue to the case of a weakly ionized, weakly magnetized plasma of noncylindrical form is suggested.
Use of the Characteristic Function in the Derivation of Liouville's Equation35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974017View Description Hide Description
A derivation of Liouville's equation is given using the formalism employed by Hopf (1952) and Edwards (1964) in their derivation of the equations governing, respectively, the characteristic-density functional and probability-density functional associated with turbulent fluids.
Derivation of the Spin-Orbit Interaction35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974019View Description Hide Description
Many students find it paradoxical that spin-orbit coupling is discussed in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics although it is usually said to be a consequence of relativity. The resolution of this paradox is discussed. The Thomas precession is related to the commutation properties of the matrices used to describe the resultant of two consecutive Lorentz transformations without rotation; the frequency of the Thomas precession is derived on this basis.
Thermodynamics and Classical Relativity35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974021View Description Hide Description
The classical principle of relativity (invariance of the laws of motion to a Galilean transformation of coordinates) with its change of viewpoint from one coordinate system to another rarely comes into question in the routine sort of thermodynamic analysis. By analysis of the Joule-Thomson porous-plug experiment under various conditions, it is shown that the standard formalism of thermodynamics is consistent with the classical relativity principle.
Invariance Principles in Classical and Quantum Mechanics35(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974023View Description Hide Description
A simple, unified discussion of invariance principles in nonrelativistic classical and quantum mechanics is presented. In particular, space-translation, space-rotation, space-inversion, Galilean, and time-reversal invariance are discussed from the point of view of possible physical motions. In addition, there is a discussion of the classical connection between space inversion, time reversal, and what may be considered a type of "charge conjugation."

Huh, why am I here? Where'd the website go?
Xane: I posted this on twitter but we're having webserver issues over on webcomicsonline.com. Once they are resolved I will forward the Domain back.
Don: LOL!!! What about the other half?
I'm with Don, instead saying something like "hot mangoes" doesn't insult anyone
Bah, you twits and your mangled sentence broadcaster! ;)
Actually, I really should get one. If I had a smart phone I would, but I don't even text!
Don, it's "offend" not insult. Taking your lord's name in vain is not an insult to you. It's HIS name.
If I wanted to insult you as a Christian, I'd say that you're a heathen polytheist trying to use the "holy trinity" to lawyer your way around the first commandment. The entire concept of Jesus as God is a blatant violation of "thou shalt have no other gods before me," and you're going to Hell.
That would be insulting.
Just saying "hot Jesus" would merely be offensive.
well mike im not offended by the dialog in todays comic. technically you've had worse. but in todays day and age its kinda silly to get offended by 'Hot Jesus' its very mild compared to what people say every day. FYI this current arc is funny. Buckley and his shenanigans
I'm constantly amused at how quickly a word or phrase can raise someone's hackles. It's a comic strip not a diatribe on religious opinion. It's not more or less offensive than "Holy Cow" is to a person of Hindu faith. It's just a word. Don't give it any power.
But you must remember for Christians, Moslems and Jews words are power. Yes just like magic. So beware and be aware.
@NightGaunt: But even athiests agree that words have power, otherwise the athiests would be protesting political correctness, semiotics, and all the other things academics use to convince us our unthinking, unfeeling statements are making it impossible for [name of minority group] to feel good about themselves or get a fair shake. And, of course, we offend everyone whose purpose in life is to get offended on the behalf of others.
What is all the controversy about!? It's Jesus (Pronounced Hay-Soos). He's referring to a hot immigrant worker he knew who's lunch smelled the same on those hot July days in the Watermelon patches. :) See no controversy, you just needed the proper pronunciation.
excellent point
An equally valid interpretation is that there are many gods, but a good Jew holds the God of Moses and Abraham above all other gods.
Personally, I'm more offended on the "smells like dead monkeys" bit. Dead monkeys do not smell any worse than other dead animals, and singling them out like that is, therefore, racist.
Knowing that, it comes as no surprise that you decided to attack the colored cheese as well.
Shame on you, Mr. Witmer. Shaaaame.
I'm just waiting on the recipe.
But not supernatural power. The word hasn't been made flesh. It's very easy to offend the less powerful especially if it from the dominant race-class which is still white, Christian, and male.

Just Don't Do It: Penalties Kick In For Hollywood Sign Trespassers
July 4, 2016 § 3 Comments
People who climb to the Hollywood Sign are fully aware they are trespassing: there are Do Not Enter Signs on the way up, as well as a gate. The Sign itself is equipped with sensors and loudspeakers, and police helicopters are deployed at the first sign of a breach. Even those who are at the Sign legally (as I have been on two occasions while filming) will be warned off before their time is up.
However much of a tourist attraction it is, the Hollywood Sign is also a high-security area, and has been for decades. After the September 11th attacks it was designated (along with City Hall, LAX and the Pacific Design Center) a high-risk target for terrorism. Yet in the years since, the consequences for trespassers have been all but nonexistent: climbers to the Sign usually haven't been arrested, let alone fined, despite the fact that criminal penalties have long been in place.
Probably because former Councilmember Tom LaBonge, a notorious cheerleader for unruly Hollywood Sign tourism, is no longer around to influence law enforcement, things seem to be changing. After a particularly egregious trespasser climbed one of the letters of the Sign in May, he was arrested, jailed overnight and charged with trespass. At the end of June, he pled guilty and was sentenced to the maximum penalties under current law:
One year's probation
Twenty days of Caltrans labor
$1,000.00 fine, with penalties of up to five times that amount
Restitution to the LAPD and Rec and Parks
A Stay-Away-from-the-Sign Order
The fact that the trespasser was a professional prankster with a large YouTube following might have influenced the judge's decision in this case. However, Sarah Dusseault, Chief of Staff for Councilmember David Ryu, confirms that Ryu's office is working with the City Attorney on stiffer penalties for future scofflaws.

Remembering Beachwood Canyon's Spectacular Production of "Julius Caesar," One Hundred Years Later
May 20, 2016 § Leave a comment
The production was both a celebration of Shakespeare's birth and a benefit for the Actors' Fund, and starred such luminaries as Tyrone Power, Sr., Douglas Fairbanks, William Farnum and the young Mae Murray. A fuller account can be found in these posts:
Last night's commemoration in Beachwood Village featured the local historian Greg Williams and the actor Stephen Fry, who read the "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech from Act III.
Because a fully built neighborhood now stands where the sets and stands were located, it's a challenge to visualize the 1916 production, which featured chariot races, gladiator fights and dancing girls, as well as hundreds of extras recruited from Hollywood High School and Fairfax High School. But "Julius Caesar" was performed here to critical success, and the fact that it drew such a crowd should dispel the notion of early 20th century Los Angeles as a cultural backwater.
"Norwegian Wood": Film Versus Novel
April 26, 2016 § Leave a comment
Recently I read a great novel: Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood. For those unfamiliar with his work, this is the book that made Murakami a literary superstar when it was published in Japan in 1987 and later, in translation, around the world. The fact that it's a bildungsroman makes Norwegian Wood more accessible than Murakami's other novels, which feature supernatural elements, historical delvings and post-modern puzzles. Though more layered than most mainstream fiction, the novel's relatively straightforward storytelling and universal themes–love, loss and coming of age–explain its worldwide popularity.
The novel, which largely takes place between 1967 and 1969, follows Toru, a student at an elite university in Tokyo. At eighteen, Toru has left his hometown of Kobe for personal as well academic reasons: his best friend from high school, Kizuki, mysteriously committed suicide during their senior year, leaving a lingering sadness. In Tokyo, Toru is able to make a fresh start until he runs into Kizuki's fragile girlfriend Naoko, who has moved there for similar reasons. Bound by their grief over Kizuki, Toru and Naoko begin spending Sundays together. In time they embark on a tentative romance, at which point Naoko abruptly withdraws from her college and disappears. Before he finds her, Toru meets Midori, a fellow student who is Naoko's opposite: quirky, opinionated and sexually frank. They soon strike up a close friendship, but Toru, still in love with Naoko, resists Midori's romantic overtures. In time he reunites temporarily with Naoko, who has exiled herself to a remote psychiatric facility after suffering a nervous breakdown. In the course of these events, Toru becomes the man he is meant to be: a caring friend and lover, an intellectual and a genuine adult.
Despite the deaths described in the novel–five, including three suicides–Norwegian Wood is less sad than you might expect. Between the ages of eighteen and twenty, Toru experiences his share of pleasures–literature, music (not just the Beatles song of the title but a wide range of classical, jazz and rock), food, drink and sex–quite a lot of sex, befitting a college student in a sexually liberated time. In some ways, the novel is a late 1960's time capsule, containing all that was exciting about the era. (I was a child in Tokyo during those years and can attest to the novel's veracity, not just the musical references but the radical student movement that roiled Toru's university–they used to riot outside my house.)
Although there are some specifically Japanese elements–buying sake from vending machines, visiting love hotels, getting drunk legally in parks–most of "Norwegian Wood" could take place anywhere. Part of Murakami's genius is creating characters who are very much like their American and European counterparts: they eat the same foods, listen to the same music and have the same frustrations and goals. This universality makes Norwegian Wood adaptable for the screen, which brings us to Tran Anh Hung's 2012 film, "Norwegian Wood."
Though a French-Vietnamese director who (presumably) isn't fluent in Japanese would seem an unlikely choice to adapt a Japanese novel into a Japanese-language film, Tran ("The Scent of Green Papaya") does a good job with "Norwegian Wood." The cinematography is beautiful, the locations–among them Kobe, Toru and Murakami's hometown, and Waseda, their alma mater–are perfect, and the acting is excellent. If Toru (Kenichi Matsuyama) is more handsome than Murakami describes, it's an understandable exaggeration, and the script logically omits minor characters and back stories. Where Tran goes wrong is in ignoring the novel's humor, not only Toru's wry exposition but Midori's hilariousness. Unlike the wispy, troubled Naoko, Midori* has her feet firmly planted on the ground. Her great obsessions are food and sex, and she enjoys wearing outrageously short skirts even at the hospital where her father is dying. Although it would have worked beautifully onscreen, Tran leaves out this exchange between Midori and her father's surgeon:
Doctor: Wow, that's some short skirt you're wearing!
Midori: Nice, huh?
Doctor: What do you do on stairways?
Midori: Nothing special. I let it all hang out.
The nurse chuckled behind the doctor.
Doctor: Incredible. You ought to come and let us open your head one of these days to see what's going on in there. Do me a favor and use the elevators while you're in the hospital. I can't afford to have any more patients.
Tran even makes Midori's skirt is more modest than described–it's short, but not indecently so. Choices like these make Midori's outré moments–for example, her expressed desire to watch hard-core porn films with Toru–seem discordant, rather than a natural extension of her curiosity and free spiritedness. As a result, "Norwegian Wood" is much sadder than Murakami's novel, and not to its advantage.
*A language note: Midori, which means green, is not only a modern name but a word that was not widely used before the late nineteenth century. Before then, blue (Aoi) was used for both blue and green, and green was considered a type of blue, not a separate color. Beyond representing life, Midori's name provides a direct contrast with Naoko's: Nao means upright or obedient, and the traditional feminine suffix ko means child. Through their names alone, Murakami makes clear that Naoko, "Obedient Child," is Midori's polar opposite.
"Miles Ahead:" Don Cheadle's Wildly Original Miles Davis Biopic
April 6, 2016 § Leave a comment
While there's nothing wrong with telling an artist's story in a straightforward way, it's fascinating when a filmmaker chooses another path. That's what Don Cheadle does in "Miles Ahead," which begins during the musician's drug-addled hiatus from recording and performing in the 1970's and ends with his comeback in the 1980's. Although there are flashbacks to Davis's early career and first marriage to the dancer Frances Taylor (Emayatzy Corinealdi), Cheadle doesn't bother to show Davis as a child or even a trumpet-playing youth. I'd like to think this decision isn't because Davis grew up in a middle class family–his father was a dentist–and studied at Julliard, but because Cheadle preferred a laser-like focus on what matters most: Davis's music.
"Miles Ahead" is helped immeasurably by the fact that Davis is only depicted as an adult and only by Don Cheadle. The actor captures everything about Davis: his creative genius, his ferocity and his mercurial charm. In doing so, he transforms himself both inside and out. I can't fathom how difficult it must have been to pull of such feat of acting and also direct the film, but it's a rare accomplishment for anyone, let alone a first-time director.
At a Q&A last Friday night, Cheadle declined to say which parts of the film are factual and which are fictional, but there are a lot of both. The journalist played by Ewan MacGregor is fictional, yet there's nothing fake about his character or his function: showing us Miles Davis's dark period of drug abuse, gunslinging and reclusion. Davis's abuse of Frances Taylor is factual–she has said, "I actually left running for my life," and does in the movie. But other things that couldn't have happened are true in their essence. Davis pushes against the wall of an elevator at Columbia Records, which becomes a door to his past as a musician. A punch thrown at one character lands on another. As the film lurches from place to place, traveling through time, watching it becomes less like observing and more like entering Davis's complicated mind. In his abstract, improvisational approach, Cheadle weaves many strands into something pure. It's a lot like jazz.
Two Cinematic Tours of Los Angeles: "Knight of Cups" and "City of Gold"
March 24, 2016 § 2 Comments
Since the early 20th century, Los Angeles has been the city that outsiders have loved to hate, usually based on fleeting touristic impressions. But no matter what the haters say, indignant reactions from the home crowd are few and far between. There are two reasons for this: 1) Angelenos don't care what outsiders think of Los Angeles. 2) The last thing Angelenos want for people to move here, so all deterrents are welcome.
In L.A.-bashing, as in most matters, context is crucial. When Woody Allen wrote that L.A.'s "only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light," he was a non-driving visitor to Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip. How could he know about either local culture or driving? And when David Bowie said, "The fucking place should be wiped off the face of the Earth," he was referring to his near-fatal cocaine abuse in Los Angeles. (Never mind that his addiction began years earlier, in London.) Ironically, Bowie spent a fair amount of time in Los Angeles over the course of his long career, making movies, collecting awards, appearing on talk shows and recording one of his best albums, "Station to Station," in Hollywood. Yet he clung to the opinions he formed while high in the back of limos and darkened hotel rooms.
I was thinking about all of this as I watched the new Terrence Malick film, "Knight of Cups." The plot, such as it is, concerns Rick (Christian Bale), an improbably attractive screenwriter who meanders around Los Angeles (with side trips to Death Valley and Las Vegas), his mind veering back and forth in time. Rick covers a lot of miles, yet he never writes a word. In fact, the closest he comes to working is meeting up with his agents, twice at CAA (Century City) and once at (I think) the Warner Bros. back lot (Burbank). But who has time for writing when there are so many women to recall? Apart from Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman, most of Rick's paramours are young models who wear filmy dresses (or less) and extremely high heels. (FYI, Terrence Malick: real L.A. women favor pants and shoes they can walk in.)
Fortunately, the places in the movie are decidedly real. Even the most over-the-top party (hosted by Antonio Banderas, though for me the highlight was the appearance of Joe Lo Truglio) takes place in well-known location: a massive Versailles-like mansion in Beverly Hills. Rick goes downtown (Broadway, the Bonaventure, etc), to the beach (constantly), to LACMA (Mid-Wilshire) and the Huntington Gardens (San Marino). He lives in a well-known industrial-looking apartment (the Gallery Lofts in Marina Del Rey), although I'm pretty sure that no one has seen a naked woman in six-inch heels talking on the phone on the balcony. Among the many visual highs are a twilight photo shoot at the Stahl House (Pierre Koenig's Case Study House #22), gorgeous shots of Venice and PCH, and footage of the L.A. River and the tracks at Union Station. In short, it's a film is by Emanuel Lubeski, with tiny amounts of dialogue and large amounts of voiceover written by Malick.
As the film washed over me, I was surprised at how many of the locations I had visited, not only architectural gems like the Broadway Theaters, the Stahl House and the Annenberg Beach House but a street in Hancock Park three blocks from where I used to live. For outsiders, "Knight of Cups" is a dream-like look at a great swath of Los Angeles–at least the rich, white, show biz side of it. But for those of us who live here, it's much more: a trippy, deluxe home movie shot by three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer.
Coincidentally, I saw "Knight of Cups" on the same weekend as "City of Gold," the new documentary about the Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold. Like the Malick film, "City of Gold" provides a beautiful, in-depth tour of Los Angeles, though a less rarefied one–e.g., no naked women in towering designer shoes and many ordinary people, all of whom have jobs. Gold is a native Angeleno whose knowledge of L.A. is profound and inclusive. Intrepid and expert in most of the world's cuisines, he takes us to a wide variety of notable restaurants, two of which happen to be food trucks. The wonderful street scenes in "City of Gold" show the real Los Angeles: a multi-racial, multi-cultural vibrant megacity. The documentary also contains this truth: Los Angeles is beyond the grasp of those who, in Gold's words, "come for a couple of weeks, stay in a hotel in Beverly Hills, take in what they can get to within ten minutes in their rented car and [then] explain to you what Los Angeles is."
Revisiting "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," Robert Altman and Vilmos Zsigmond's Western Masterpiece
March 15, 2016 § 1 Comment
No one who has seen "McCabe" could forget its climactic shoot-out, or the opening scene, a long pan over the mountainous landscape that Beatty traverses on horseback, disguised by his huge bearskin coat:
The Q & A afterwards featured Robert Altman's widow, Kathryn, and the actors Keith Carradine and William Devane. All spoke fondly of the shoot, which took place in Vancouver and featured real snow, real carpenters (some of whom lived on set) and communal living in a nearby subdivision. Carradine, only 21 at the time and fresh off the Broadway run of "Hair," talked about his death scene (being yanked off his horse by a wire into freezing water) and the magic of the roughly six-minute, music-free shootout that ends the film. It couldn't happen in movies today, he said, with their omnipresent scores. (I agree: the fact that the score of "McCabe" consists almost entirely of three Leonard Cohen songs seems in retrospect wildly, wonderfully new. Someone should try it again, dispensing with the sonic wall that too often serves as an emotional crutch in today's films.)
Six days later, I was shocked to hear that Kathryn Altman had died suddenly of a heart attack. Though she was 91, she seemed far younger, and her death was unexpected. The screening of "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," at which she paid tribute to the late Vilmos Zsigmond, was her last public appearance.

…or, "Alex Gordon, Superstar? Part the Second."
Part One of my long-awaited-by-no-one post on Alex Gordon's 2011 and future was originally intended to see just how Gordon's 2011 performance compared to his contemporaries — and recent Royals seasons — as well as to begin assessing his true talent. Well, after more than 1,000 words I only got to the comparison portion, which inadvertently may have given some people the wrong impression of my intent. Hopefully, today's post will clear some matters up. The key is the in question mark — Alex Gordon seems to have performed (and orated) like a superstar in 2011, but how good is he, really? What is his true talent, and what (if anything) should the Royals be willing to give him in a potential long-term extension?
A review of some general principles might be in order. While concepts such as "outlier" and "breakout" have their uses, I think they are often used improperly. It is lazy to call Gordon's 2011 performance either an "outlier" from which he will now return to previous levels or to dub it a "breakout" that is his expected level of performance in the future. Both tendencies gloss over important facets of estimating a player's "true talent" properly: elements such as adjusting for age, weighting recent seasons, and regressing to the mean, among others. I will not belabor those general points, so check out the links in this paragraph and the relevant entries in the Sabermetric Library for more reading along these liens.
I do want to emphasize the relative degree of uncertainty in Gordon's projections simply based on his recent playing time. There is uncertainty in any projection, but moreso for Gordon's than for many other players' who have been in the majors the same number of seasons. Why? Looking just at Gordon's stats from the three most recent seasons, one sees a huge jump in Gordon's major league performance in 2011. That can be deceptive, though, since Gordon had more plate appearances in the majors in 2011 than he had in 2009 and 2010 combined, even before weighting the most recent season most heavily. In fact, if you weight his last four major league seasons of plate appearances in a fairly-standard 5-4-3-2 manner, his 2011 is weighted (weight times plate appearances) about as heavily as the the three previous seasons combined. On a positive note, this means that his excellent 2011 is going to get far more weight than any of his poor seasons. However, this "optimism" will be tempered by his projection being regressed more to the mean — which indicates added uncertainty in Gordon's individual case because it is relying more heavily on the average performance from the population of players to which he is thought to belong rather than his individual performance. Uncertainty cuts both ways, of course, but it should add an element of caution. (Gordon did have substantial time in the minors in both 2009 and 2010, but the problem of translating minor league statistics adds another set of issues that I do not have the space to address here).
If you had asked me to picture a Gordon "breakout" (ahem) prior to 2011, just about the last way I would have envisioned it would be him having a .303 batting average. Much was made in the off-season (and, though no one remembers it, in previous seasons, too) of Gordon re-tooling his swing to generate more contact. It seems to have worked, as in both 2010 and 2011 his contact rate was up a bit, and in 2011 that turned into an improved strikeout rate. However, even that lowered strikeout rate was still worse than average, and is not enough to explain the .303 batting average. Our old frenemy BABIP rears its ugly head.
Gordon had a .358 BABIP in 2011, and it is highly unlikely that a .358 BABIP is his (or many other players', for that matter) true talent. While xBABIP models have their uses for short-term, in-season analysis, they have limitations. Without going into those at length, I will simply note that projection systems that weight and regress a player's observed BABIP, adjust for park, age, handedness, and things of that nature are preferable. It is too simplistic, in any case, to simply note that Gordon got "lucky" on his 2011 BABIP. While he probably did, xBABIP models also indicate he was "unlucky" in previous seasons. Moreover, left-handed hitters usually have a higher BABIP than average and Kauffman stadium also inflates hit rates on balls in play. Overemphasizing the results of xBABIP models at the expense of more sophisticated projections can gloss over these factors. It is also important to remember that hitter BABIP skill varies more widely than for pitchers, which is why attempts to construct a FIP for hitters run into problems. BABIP is not a uniquely "regress-able" component. All components need to be regressed, hitter BABIP simply requires more regression than, e.g., walk rate.
It is also important to note that while Gordon heavily benefited from a high BABIP in 2011, his season was not simply a result of an inflated batting average. While his walk rate dropped a bit from previous seasons, it was still above average, and he hit for more power (.200 ISO) than ever before. Like BABIP, these results need to be subjected to regression, weighted with respect to past performance, and so on, but Gordon did well in these areas, too.
After all that sound and fury signifying little-to-nothing, what can we expect from Gordon at the plate in 2012? With the qualifications regarding uncertainty in mind, Oliver forecasts Gordon to hit .267/.354/.456 for a .354 wOBA in 2012. In 2011's run environment, that's about 21 runs above average per 700 plate appearances. I would guess that other projections systems will see Gordon about the same way. Keep in mind that he will be 28 — not ancient, but already past when most hitters generally peak. That line may not seem overly impressive — and, indeed, it indicates more of a "good" hitter than a "superstar" hitter — but remember that the run environment in recent seasons has been pretty stingy.
It is not all about hitting, though, and Gordon's switch from third base to the left field (and here the Royals front office probably deserves some credit) has gone well. He set the organizational record for outfield assists in 2011 with 20, the most by a major league outfielder since Alfonso Soriano had 22 in 2006. Both UZR and DRS liked him in left field in both 2011 and his short time there in 2010, as do other metrics. The Fans' Scouting Report is also impressed. With all that said, uncertainty rears its head again — the general rule is that three seasons of fielding data is as reliable as one year of hitting in relation to true talent, and we have less than one-and-a-half of Gordon in the major leagues. Moreover, Gordon's 2011 rating relies heavily on his "arm" rating, and runners are less likely to take chances with him next season. I would conservatively eyeball his 2011 projection at four runs above average.
Two more notes: Gordon has been good at taking the extra base for most of his career as indicated by UBR, but like everything else, that requires plenty of regression, so placing him at one run above average seems about right. Of more import is his injury history: while Gordon got almost 700 plate appearances in 2011 before being shut down, he spent time on the disabled least in each of the prior three seasons, including a serious hip injury in 2009. Due to attrition, players should never be projected to play 162 games; I usually project them for around 85 or 90 percent playing time. In Gordon's case, 80 percent seems like a safer bet, although I admit that is less-than-scientific (unlike the utterly rigorous and irrefutable portions of the rest of this post. Ahem.).
In the past I've usually done a bit of arithmetic at this stage. These days I feel like it tends to give an impression of greater exactitude than I would like, but just to show my work, here's what we have for Gordon's 2012 projection: +21 hitting + 4 fielding + 1 base running – 7.5 positional adjustment for left field + 25 AL replacement level, all times 80 percent playing time, then converted to wins give us about 3.5 WAR for 2012. I am a bit uncomfortable with even one decimal place there, so it might be helpful to read that as "between three and four wins" rather than 3.5 on the money. In any case, although Gordon does not project as a "superstar" going forward, a three-to-four-win player is very good.
What should the Royals do with their "merely very good" player? They do not have to give Gordon an extension, as he is under team control for 2012 and 2013. However, the Royals are not exactly stacked in the outfield in either the short- or long-term. If you think Gordon's projection falls short of "superstar status," check out Melky Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur's. Lorenzo Cain could not convince the organization to give him Melky or Frenchy's job, and while Wil Myers is still a good prospect after a tough 2011 season, he probably will not see serious time in the majors until at least 2013. Bubba Starling might be the next Royals savior, but that particular parousia will probably not happen for some time.
This is likely the last off-season the Royals will have leverage to negotiate with Gordon in favorable circumstances, as if he performs decently in 2012, Gordon will be close enough to free agency that he would be better off going on another one-year contract and getting to free agency faster. So while they do not have to re-sign him, this is probably the last chance to do it in a manner that favors the club financially.
To figure out a fair deal for Gordon, we need to look at arbitration figures for players in comparable situations. Rather than embarrass myself (further), I consulted our own Matt Swartz, who has done extensive work on this topic. He suggests that Gordon would be likely to get around $4.4 million in arbitration this off-season, and assuming he has a decent 2012, more than $7 million the next off-season. That would be about $12 million total.
Unless the team gets a great deal when buying out the arbitration years, they are going to want at least one extra year of control of the player. Assuming the 3.5 win projection from above for 2012 and a standard half-win-a-season decline for Gordon, by 2014 we would expect him to be something like a 2.5 win player. Assuming the average price of a marginal win is up to around $6 million by then that would be worth about $15 million on the free agent market.
Altogether, something around (again, this is a ballpark figure) three years and $25 million dollars seems like a fair deal for the Royals and Gordon this off-season. In exchange for guaranteed security for Gordon, the Royals get his first free agent seasons and perhaps a slight discount. As I said, this is something like a fair deal. Obviously, a deal with substantially more money or other things such as a no-trade clause would favor Gordon, and club options and/or much less money would favor the Royals. A guaranteed fourth year is a trickier issue, as even a player with a fairly balanced skill-set like Gordon is a risk after 30 — the parties would need to strike a balance between compensating Gordon for putting off free agency by yet another season with the risk the Royals would take on by guaranteeing another season. Hey, they can't all be Yunel Escobar deals, although I am sure the Royals (and every other team) would love it if they were.
Despite all of their missteps in recent seasons, the Royals have enough young talent to potentially contend in 2013 and beyond if they play their cards right and have a bit of luck. The Royals probably do not have a true-talent "superstar" on their hands in Gordon, much less the "next George Brett." However, although Air Gordon is unlikely to replicate 2011's under-the-radar awesomeness, he does not have to do so to be a major contributor to the next winning team in Kansas City. If you made it this far, thanks for indulging me. Hopefully, my next two-part, 3000+ word novel will be about that winning team, not a not-quite-superstar-level player.

The Importer plugin is a necessary tool when developing for WordPress or moving a site, although it's not without its share of issues.
75% of the time it just works and all content/attachments will import correctly, but there are times when importing a file that is too large, or trying to import attachments from a remote server causes errors. This isn't a problem with the plugin per se, but with the web server that can usually be resolved by tweaking the server config (if possible).
Another issue that I've run across is due to a bug in the Safari browser which causes the importer to hang when importing a file. This is actually due to a Safari/Webkit bug that's been around since 2005 (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5760), and you can save yourself the headache by doing the WordPress import with Firefox or another browser instead.

State regulators OK plan to declare air clean around Frisco's Exide plant
Frisco is one step closer to having the area around the closed Exide Technologies plant back in compliance with the federal air-quality standard for lead.
On Wednesday, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality approved moving forward with a request to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to remove a "nonattainment area" designation put in place in 2010 because of high lead emissions. The vote also includes a proposed maintenance plan to ensure compliance of the lead standard through 2028.
Frisco's nonattainment area for lead encompasses a 1.28-square-mile around the plant. It's the only one in Texas and one of only 21 in the nation. The designation was triggered after the federal air-quality standard for lead was tightened tenfold in 2008, from 1.5 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air to 0.15 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air.
The Exide plant, which recycled used automotive and industrial batteries, closed in November 2012 as part of a landmark agreement with the city. Lead emissions in the area went from 1.06 tons in 2010 to zero by 2013.
Frisco Mayor Maher Maso was in Austin on Wednesday to address the commission and thank the state agency for its work to improve the city that's seen phenomenal growth for more than a decade.
"It's a very important part of our growth making sure our environment is protected," Maso told the commission.
The plant opened in Frisco in the early 1960s. When Exide Technologies bought the plant in 2000, the city's population was about 33,000. Frisco now has more than 154,000 residents and is projected to more than double that amount by the time the city is built out.
The first step toward removing the nonattainment area has been met. The four air-quality monitors around the plant have recorded consecutive 36 months of readings that meet the federal standard for lead.
With Wednesday's vote, the request to the EPA and proposed maintenance plan move forward. EPA officials will have the final say on removing the nonattainment area. Public comments will be accepted by the state through June 3. A public hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. June 2 in the council chambers at Frisco City Hall.

When I contacted Suncast they said that Home Depot does not sell their item in the West and "shares" an SKU with the Rubbermaid product.
Home Depot does have a statement on the description for the BMS 1500 Note: Product may vary by store, but that is a poor hint that the picture and item number you see on the screen and on your order is NOT the item that will be provided. Not even the same manufacturer.
I think that once I checked inventory for my local Home Depot store I should have been advised at that time that the Suncast BMS1500 was not available. I wasted a trip to pick it up.

" Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud, most commonly used in retail sales but also applicable to other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by advertising for a product or service at a low price; second, the customers discover that the advertised good is not available and are "switched" to a costlier product. "
Were you coming in on advertising on one product and then switched to a costlier product? If they were substituting one product for another at the same price, then its not bait and switch by the definition. If it were, you could go after them for fraud.

There are some stadiums in World Football that are like a fortress for their home team.
Regardless of the stature of the host team, though they are generally the best teams in their respective leagues, these stadiums can be tough for any team to play in.
Now, most folks can name a few of these stadiums off the top of their head. La Bombanera, the Westfalenstadion as well as the Ali Sami Yen stadium (now Turk Telekom Arena) and others come to mind.
Those stadiums are known for the atmosphere created by the crowd, which sometimes has a debilitating effect on their opponents. Some of these stadiums are also the home stadiums for national teams but we are focusing on the club teams that call the venue "home."
What we'll do for this list is look at stadiums that are generally considered the most hostile, intimidating venues to play in, and maybe a few others as well, and judge them by their win percentage*—That is the only factor that matters for this list.
That shows just how good these teams are at home. Of course, we know that the atmosphere of a stadium certainly plays a part but, again, for this article, the home team's ability to win there is what matters.
To do this we'll look at at 100 home games, mostly recent ones, for each of these stadiums. In cases where there is more than one tenant—it's usually only two—the tenants combine to make up the 100 games.
Within those 100 games teams have to have a win percentage of 70 percent or more at their stadium. Draws count as half a win.
In no particular order, here are world football's toughest opposing stadiums to play in.

Kemp Delf, Blackburn Area, Lancashire © SLB
Just begun cleaning/gardening this crag most holds and ledges are covered in clay residue and primary vegetation. Cleaned up 2 routes on the west facing wall over water. Begun work on the south facing wall and should have several more routes ready before the end of July. details to follow as i need to take some pictures and get some advice on grading.
Access is easy there is roadside parking at the top end of Stanhill village and a 2 minute walk brings you to a unsightly galvanized fence on the right, 2 sections of which have been removed. To the right of this opening is a ramp which provides access to both faces.
|Sport in Lancashire well to a degree. I really enjoy the few routes that have been bolted. Managed to tick everyone and do a diagonal route. Would recommend for anyone from the area who wants to have a go at some outdoor sport!

Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. of the Presidential Communication and Operations Office said the agreement was reached during a bilateral meeting between Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III and Swiss Confederation President Eveline Widmer-Sclumpf at the sidelines of the 9th Asia-Business Meeting being held here from November 5 to 6. Coloma said President Aquino "promised to do what is needed to complete the process of getting compensation paid out eventually to the intended beneficiaries." "So this means clearing whatever administrative or procedural hurdles that still need to be handled or resolved," he said. "So that was taken up and both parties agree to work toward an early completion of this compensation process," he added. A Hawaii court ordered the Marcos family to pay $776-million in damages to Martial law victims in September 1992 following a class action suit filed against the former dictator by 9,539 victims. Although a total of P35 billion ($833 million) have already been recovered from the Marcos family by past administrations, the victims have not yet been compensated due to many factors; one of which is the need to pass legislation to appropriate part of the sequestered funds from the Marcoses for the victims of martial law because the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law provides that all sequestered assets from the Marcos family would be utilized for the implementation of land reform.
