Any news on why ARam is
Any news on why ARam is getting a day off, or are they just working him back slowly?
Let's hope Big Z is on form
Let's hope Big Z is on form today because I'm not sure we're going to get a lot of runs today from this lineup.
no word, I'm sure he'll be
no word, I'm sure he'll be getting lots of days from here on out. Especially day after night games and with an opportunity to sit 2 days in a row with an off-day tomorrow.
Looks like we are playing a
Looks like we are playing a little "small ball" today. I'm with Andrew on this one, Z needs to be on today to keep the winning streak alive.
Does is bother anyone that
Does is bother anyone that the man who can nix a deal (i.e. the commish) is the owner of the team that will stand to lose the most if the cubs pull off a successful move?
Conflict of interest?
Also, with the way Z has
Also, with the way Z has been throwing, we hopefully won't need Aram's bat. So give him that two day rest going into a series where we will need it.
Didn't Selig sell off his
Didn't Selig sell off his interest in the Brewers a few years ago?
I was just pondering that
I was just pondering that myself, Chad.
Not trying to start a conspiracy theory or anything, but it seem that The Bud would stand to directly profit from nixing a Cubs deal.
Bud hasn't been the owner
Bud hasn't been the owner for years of the Brewers.
and I think his family sold to Mark Attanasio in 2005.
yeah, what vorare said....
yeah, what vorare said....
What having an owner, sorry
What having an owner, sorry former owner, as commissioner can create a conflict of interest? No way.
Yeah fine, former owner.
Yeah fine, former owner. Robr is right. Even with former status, it's still a total conflict of interest.
And anyway, I'd be willing
And anyway, I'd be willing to wager that if Bud really did nix the deal (and not Zell), it has more to do with flexing his muscle to the Trib before the sale than any real baseball/competitive reason. I'm sure he wants it crystal clear that the Trib needs his blessing.
anyway, it's still unclear
anyway, it's still unclear whether Zell nixed the deal or the commish, who apparently gains some sort of supernatural controlling power of your franchise if you put it up for sale.
On a much less suspicious
On a much less suspicious note, there's an interesting statistical event occuring today. It's the first time in big league history that seven 40 year olds will start on the same day. (from the AP):
The New York Yankees' Roger Clemens (44), Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer (44), Detroit's Kenny Rogers (42), San Diego's Greg Maddux (41), the New York Mets' Tom Glavine (41), Houston's Woody Williams (40) and Atlanta's John Smoltz (40) are set to pitch on the same day."
anyway, trading JJ for a
anyway, trading JJ for a lo-A prospect doesn't really affect the Cubs or Brewers all that much this year, so I don't see why he would care.
Brewers would probably be happy we made the deal.
Moving Jones off our roster
Moving Jones off our roster frees up a roster spot that could be taken up by a better player.

And who is Jones blocking?
Z has thrown a ton of
Z has thrown a ton of pitches in his last three starts, averaging 121 per.
Last time he had a three-game stretch like that was in September, '05. Next game out was against the Astros, and he got hammered.
I just thought it would be fun to inject some negativism into the winning streak.
Who nixed the deal? Does no
Who nixed the deal? Does no one believe Jim Hendry?
""I just felt I wasn't going to be rushed into it and make a deal that I didn't think was good for us," Hendry said."
it's also shipping an
it's also shipping an underperforming player, paying his contract and getting nothing in return to help your team this year.
I don't think it was a horrible trade if we did get a decent prospect like this Graham Taylor, but it's not that significant of a deal that Bud would probably bother risking tampering accusations for...
no cwtp....

dave, he's not 'blocking'
he's not 'blocking' anyone in our system. But he is blocking us from trading for a big name in right.
But he is blocking us from
But he is blocking us from trading for a big name in right.
No he isn't. How so? If the Cubs wanted to trade for a "big name" to play right, they would just send Pagan or Theriot back down. It wouldn't be too hard.

didn't watch last night's game, but saw the highlights on wgn of some more great defensive by the Cubbies. Woo.

isn't Floyd playing RF for the most part these days? What does JJ have to do with us acquiring anyone?
Hendry's comment may just be
Hendry's comment may just be a half truth. That is, Zell or Selig could have killed the first deal (Jones+$$$$$ for Taylor) and then Hendry felt uncomfortable about the alternative proposal (Jones+$$+Top Prospect for Taylor).
A reasonable assessment,
A reasonable assessment, vorare.
C'mon on guys. Let's just
C'mon on guys. Let's just say there was a pretty good hitting right fielder that we wanted. And lets just say there was a trade we could make for that guy for a couple of decent prospects. how do we make that trade? Have Soriano, Pie, Floyd, Jones and new guy? to play the outfield. No freaking way. We need to move Jones before a move like that could be made. We need a power hitting right handed option on the bench. Currently we have none. I don't want Koyie Hill pinch hitting late ever again.
Chad... I really do not
Chad... I really do not think that JJ is blocking the acquisition of ANYONE. If Hendry wanted to, and if he was allowed to add payroll, he would do it. It has nothing to do with JJ.
I agree that K. Hill pinch
I agree that K. Hill pinch hitting last in games should not be repeated. That gave me a twitch...
last = late... sorry!
last = late... sorry!
Interesting theory. Perhaps
Interesting theory. Perhaps Bud Selig is still pissed off at the Cubs for spending $300 million last winter and sent a message via his temple pal Sam Zell that a deal for Jacque Jones to involve including several million dollars wasn't going to be approved by his office. Selig-Reinsdorf-Zell. A trifecta of jackasses.
Gee.. chad and dave
Gee.. chad and dave disagree... That never happens!
no dave, it's impossible.
no dave, it's impossible. we don't have a roster spot for this guy. forget money. we need a guy off the roster to make the space.
Hendry also said, "Bob Howry
Hendry also said, "Bob Howry is cooked." (meaning worn out>?) in context of his discussion about the Jones trade.
Did anyone here mention that Hendry first had discussions with the Padres about an identical deal (JJ and ca$h for an A level minor leaguer) but the Padres declined because they preferred Termel Sledge over JJ? After San Diego took a pass, Hendry made the deal with the Marlins.
Pagan gets demoted, woo

Shhh... Chad and I have been getting along pretty well lately. Don't mess it up! :)

I agree with Chad.
See... Chad and I CAN agree!
But Chad... you are wrong about the roster spot. It would be quite easy to open a roster spot if needed.
Okay, Rob... sorry...
Okay, Rob... sorry...
OK fine then. Then why are
OK fine then. Then why are we trying to get rid of Jones so badly. You see, the point is that Jones is dead weight and moving Pagan down to the minors to accommodate a right handed bat on the bench still doesn't maximize this team. We must shed Jones to really improve this team.
Sam Zell, Bud Selig and
Sam Zell, Bud Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf are friends and all members of the same synagague according to my Jewish friend. If you want to infer my comment included direct or subliminal prejudice against people of the Jewish faith, then I can't help you.
I think Hendry made a
I think Hendry made a comment about wanting to try to "improve the situation for one of his players," meaning Jacque obviously. Jacque may be demanding a trade due to the hostile fans and/or the lack of playing time.

Dave, Right now JJ is
Right now JJ is blocking a 12th pitcher on the staff. Anyone can say how Theriot, Fontenot, Pie, and Pagan could be optioned for any number of reasons, but there's one reason why they won't -- Lou likes the way they play baseball and right now he seems to running the show not Jimbo. So, JJ can PR or PH 1-2 times a week or someone can ask the suits 'Mother may I please release Jacque?' Until that happens we're playing with a 24 man roster that only has 11 pitchers.

I wasn't impressed by Soto
I wasn't impressed by Soto last September, and I'm as skeptical of Ronny Cedeno as anyone, but numbers are numbers.
Cedeno is hitting .385 in 143 at bats at Iowa. Ten home runs in half a season by a catcher (Soto) or a second baseman (Patterson) are significant--and Soto has done it in 88 fewer at bats than Patterson. Kroeger put up monster numbers at AA and has hit a home run and a couple of doubles in his first week at Iowa. And Matt Murton is Matt Murton, a .297 hitter his rookie year in Chi.
Any of these five players could make use of Jones's roster spot, although the two outfielders probably have the best claim. I would imagine that Murton would replace Jones right away.

Mike Fontenot is lightening in a bottle. Enjoy it while it lasts. He is Cub version of Bo Hart. He'll invariably come crashing back down to earth.

I have been dutifully impressed with Fontenot as well. But I'm smart enough to see a mirage when I see one. Or so that's what Yogi would say.

The Cubs should worry about getting to .500 before they worry about a Milwaukee Brewer team that is underrated. And very good. I'm not sure the Brewers are catchable. The focus might need to be on the NL wildcard. But again, the current focus needs to be getting to .500.

Not sure how you can be much hotter than this:

And while sure, I wouldn't mind home runs, I will take his .340+ BA while hitting line drive all over the place any time.
Mike Fontenot's swing looks
Mike Fontenot's swing looks like Chase Utley's?!?! Oh good grief. Have you seen Utley's batting stance and bat through the strike zone? Have you seen where he stands in the batter's box? Fontenot and Utley are virtual polar opposites in the batter's box.
Look, be happy for the Cubs and Fontenot right now. The kid deserves his props. But it is a lightning in a bottle thing and he will invariabiy will come crashing back down to earth. Thank goodness Mark DeRosa is on this roster because he looms as one of the most critically important players the 2nd half.
2007 Brewers > 1927
2007 Brewers > 1927 Yankees
There, now they're overrated.
Derrek Lee isn't the player
Derrek Lee isn't the player he was in 2005. His power stroke to the alleys has vaporized. Yes he is hitting for big average and hitting a ton of doubles which is a good thing. But the Cubs need him to be a 110 RBI plus guy in the middle of the order in complement to Aramis Ramirez and Cornelius Clifford Floyd. At some point he needs to regain his power stroke and the ability to drive the ball like yesteryear.
I love the concept of 'focus
I love the concept of 'focus on winning the ____'
What a dumb thing to say. You don't focus on winning the wild card vs winning the Central. YOu cannot control any of that. All you can do is win games. the rest works itself out. It's not like fighting a multi theater war where we can send more troops to battle Hitler and hopefully win that one while sacrificing the war in the Pacific. You beat who they put in front of you and hope that everyone else ahead of you loses. Not to mention that we play the Brewers enough times whereas we pound them down, we'll catch them. Underrated? I call them OVERRATED. Chris Cappuanao and Jeff Suppan? Please. Ben Sheets is a top pitcher but he will get hurt. And Turnbow and Cordero will turn back into pumpkins soon enough. That team is not that good.
JJ Hardy, who doubled his career high in homers is on pace for @40. I bet he won't hit more than 32. These guys are playing above their heads. The only star they have is Prince Fielder who is going to be a very very very good player.
Alright you nit picking
Alright you nit picking losers -
good win for the cubs. Regarding line 135----
Fontenot is Hot -- and is hitting like Chase at EVEN Chase's peak. great work.
2. D Lee hit about 80 bombs in the previous 2 healthy years. he has 6 bombs, on pace for 12. assuming he gets stronger through the warm weather, we are due for a really fun stretch with DLee.
YOu guys are losers for contesting this. enjoy the moment.
And your idea about Derrek
And your idea about Derrek Lee is totally unfounded. He's slugging higher than he did the year before his MVPish year. That year (04) he had 98 RBIs. That year he had a slg % of .504 this year its .517. If he keeps that up, he's fine.

chad and st, i agree - d. lee is rolling -- and the power will likely come. for now, i am enjoying his production. Fontenot does have a nice swing, is left handed, and has provided a much needed spark. he seems to hit left handed pitching well, which is a good sign---
having 2 new left handed bats - fontenot and the C slot really helps with the balance of the lineup.
"how's the Brewers death
"how's the Brewers death spiral going, Chad?"
It was going great! They were down to like 4 games over .500. then they caught this updraft and played really mediocre teams. Sure Minny isn't that bad but San Fran is not a good team and KC, well, need I say more and the Astros, who really suck.
Let's see how they do this weekend.
cubfanbudman, you got it
you got it wrong. ST says DLee is not doing enough. I said he's doing fine. I think are saying that you agree with me, right?

having 2 new left handed bats - fontenot and the C slot really helps with the balance of the lineup.
Yea... those catchers are really helping the Cubs line-up:
Bowen, vs rhp (i.e. batting right-hande): .235/.346/.382
Hill, vs rhp (i.e. batting right-hande): .207/.281/.379
** Bowen's numbers are for the whole season, not just his time on the Cubs**
Barrett, vs, rhp: .255/.296/.391
While Barrett wasn't exactly destroying rhp, Bowen and Hill sure are not helping out anything by replacing him, thats for sure.
chad and st -- d lee is
chad and st -- d lee is obviously doing fine, ---however a few of his linedrives are bound to start going over the fence as the weather begins to heat up.
dave, i'm not sure if i
i'm not sure if i should explain balance - 99% of people on this list understand that having a combined lineup of righties and lefties is much more difficult to pitch against than a team of all righties. --- therefore, having fontenot, pie / pagan, bowen/hill, and floyd in the lineup --- helps balance a team, particularly against right handed pitching. it also helps moving a runner over from 2nd base in certain situations, etc.
right now we have a good mix of platoons / options going on -
Theriot / izturis
bowen / hill
floyd / derosa
pie / pagan
balance is good.
It is the end of June! The
It is the end of June! The weather already has heated up. You guys sound like you think it is mid-April or something.... I do think Lee will finish the year with better power numbers than he has now, but it's a bit late in the year to be blaming it on the cold...
lee has a hole in his swing
lee has a hole in his swing on the outside that pitchers are exploiting like hell.
he didnt used to have it, but he does. he's got an eye and a decent stroke, he's just seeing outside, outside, outside, outside.
when he does whatever it takes to reclaim the outside part of the plate, he might look a bit better with his power results.

The spirit of Rod Beck will roam Wrigley.
"The weather heating up"
"The weather heating up" argument is horseshit. It's something that Dusty used to talk about. While there is a measure of truth that power hitters do "heat up" in summer, the concept applies to the opposition as well. For whatever reason, Derrek Lee has lost his ability to drive the ball in the alleys, to include hitting home runs. Maybe, as suggested, it's a Mark Texiera in 2006 type of slump. Or maybe it has something to do with the serious wrist injury Lee suffered. Either way, the Cubs are going to need him to be a run producer in greater fashion than he has been to date. Either that or Cornelius Clifford Floyd is going to need to stay healthy and fill the run production void.

Lee still well below where he should be in HR/F at 7% and still raking line drives at 21.5%
Manny, Ortiz, Berkman not really hitting a ton of homers either to name a few....
although Berkman's finally warmed up over the last week.
I still think Lee's got a 25 homer season in him. Lower than I expected at the beginning of the year, but he's really the least of this team's problems.
Jesus Christ. ST says
Jesus Christ. ST says things that are so stupid I cannot even fathom saying them sarcastically.
ST, your new 'Jaque Strap Jones sucks so let me fawn over this not very good player' hero, Cliff Floyd has a slugging % of .430 after hitting a HR yesterday. Matt Murton, who has 'no power' despite his horrendous start to this year, has a career slugging % of .441. Just out of morbid curiosity, could you be any more blatantly incorrect about player evaluation? Oh nevermind, this is the guy casting his all-star ballots for Cesar Izturis and pencilling in Wade Miller for 15 wins.
At what point does someone who is always wrong about everything he says finally come to realize 'I just don't know what he fuck I am talking about?' Seriously.
Oh yeah, Felix Pie's career OPS .644. Ronny Cedono's .618
Rave on brother. Give us the gospel. Or maybe go back since the first time your cancerous drivel attached itself to TCR and find one instance (just one) where you were ever correct about anything.

Yeah, I only point out ST's idiocy when I am drunk. Cubs move into 5th in the WC standings with the sweep of the Rockies.
Huge statement series this weekend. Either show the Brewers that they were just keeping the division crown warm while the Cubs sorted things out, or re-affirm their place at the top of the standings. Winner of the series wins the division - that's my prediction.

99% of people on this list understand that having a combined lineup of righties and lefties is much more difficult to pitch against than a team of all righties.
Sure... if the lefties can actually hit.
But Hill/Bowen cannot hit. If we are talking purely offense, I would much rather have a right handed Barrett than a left-handed Hill or Bowen at the plate, regardless of what arm the pitcher is using.

One final comment on Michael Barrett and his game calling:

No offense, but I am going to go ahead and take the smartest pitcher of our generation over the 'Barrett calls for Home Run pitch when we need strike out pitch' meat heads. And no, that's not a Straw Man argument.
If Lee does not turn on the
If Lee does not turn on the power by All-Star break you have to move Soriano down the line up.
In fact with Dlee suspension time coming I wouldnt be surprised if Lou moved Soriano down then.

"On the Brewers, by the way… I know our tendency is to expect a collapse, but does anyone have any statistical evidence about how real they are? Is it all done with smoke, mirrors, and cheese?"
All I know is that very important players on that team (Capuano, Suppan, Turnbow, Cordero, Hardy) are playing well above their career norms. I expect a regression to them mean oh my God did I just say that?

I am going to go ahead and say the chance of Soriano batting 5th are somewhere between zero and none at all.
He didn't hit too well when he was moved down earlier (Jacos, you know you have a suspended Lee in your lineup, right?) Anyway, I expect the lineup to be:
Shitty Catcher
When Lee is out against a LHP. Not sure who plays 2nd/SS let Lou figure it out.
The team is starting to resemble the 2003 team, which was one bat short of making the WS - maybe we will sign Barrett during the off season to bulster the lineup.

No Real Neal... Barrett can't handle a pitching staff, remember? Nor will he ever be on a winning team...
Arod is going to get 500
Arod is going to get 500 HR's right around the time he turns 32 next month. I am officially no longer upset about Bonds stealing Aaron's HR record for 6 years. He will go down as a sidenote in Hhstory, right along with other famous scumbags like Steve Howe, Richard Nixon and Sadam Hussein.. ok maybe that last one was a little harsh.

"The team is starting to resemble the 2003 team, which was one bat short of making the WS"
Not being a smart ass, but I think that team was one arm away from making the World Series. If Dusty had a guy he could count on in the 8th, Prior would have come out but when all that shit was going down, there was no one he thought was better. One lockdown set up man and we go. IMO
Also, I'm with you on the ARod thing. Barring injury and as long as he wants to keep playing, Arod will out homer bonds. the only problem is, as he ages, ARod will not be able to turn to steriods which is what helps older guys recover faster.
Nor will he ever be on a
Nor will he ever be on a winning team…
He IS on a winning team....for now.
Looks like Soriano will stay
Looks like Soriano will stay in the leadoff position, mostly because he seems to have a problem with the off - speed stuff. I don't have any statistics to prove this, but it appears that most of his hits over the past two weeks have been off of fastballs.

So Vorare or dave you going to call out Rob G. for that? Nah I didn't think so, Go TCR!!
No... it is different. Chad has been continually hammering his opinion that the Brewers are going to spiral into mediocrity, or worse. It wasn't one conversation, or even a week of conversations. Chad has attempted to rub it in our faces that he is right about how Milwaukee absolutely will not finish over .500. And when Milwaukee continues to play well, it is something that we can/should call Chad odd. It was also very related to the topic at hand.
You, on the other hand, decided to use a conversation about Jock Jones to attack Rob about his position on Marcus Giles that he had several months ago.
Two very different things.

Oh yeah, Go Cubs!!!
One more win and I officially can be back really interested in the season. Not living in Chicago anymore, working for another baseball team and the team being under .500 a vast majority of the season, it is hard to stay to excited.
Hopefully they won't go into the tank this time after making a nice run like they did earlier in the year. The Nl and especially the NL Central are not good this year. Stay around .500 and make a run in Sept like they did in 2003 and playoffs here we come...
dave: You do know that I am
You do know that I am one of the few people that defend you around here, right?"
Thanks, but honestly, I don't need anyone to defend me. There are tons of times when people take random shots at me when I am not around for a couple days (I do read almost all the posts, just don't have time to post very often when I have games), and I rarely see anyone come to my defense, again not that I need it. But if you say you do, thanks. It just bothers me the constant double standard.
Manny... I am really not
Manny... I am really not sure it is a double standard.
You brought up a conversation you had with Rob from months ago that was completely unrelated to what we were talking about in order to attack him.
Rob brought up a conversation that was directly related to the conversation, and one that has been talked about on almost every thread over the last month or more, in order to attack Chad.
They seem like pretty different situations to me.
Chad can take a joke and he
Chad can take a joke and he knows I was messin' with him.
On the other hand, if Manny needs to indulge himself on one of the few things he thinks he's right about, I'll let him have his brief moment of sunshine today. I'm sure he needs it.
Btw, Giles is 5th in Win Shares (offense and defense) among NL second basemen with 9. That would make him still the best 2b that was available this offseason...so far.

How the heck are win shares
How the heck are win shares determined?
Giles has 6.3 batting win shares with this line: .258/.335/.357 OPS - 692 (322 plate appearances)
DeRosa has 4.7 batting win shares with this line: .275/.353/.432 OPS - 786 (253 plate appearances)
I would think that the only difference would be that Giles has played more?
Of course... Manny didn't like the DeRosa signing either, if I recall.
Ah... this could be key: a
Ah... this could be key:
a player will get credit for more Win Shares if his team happens to exceed its Pythagorean win/loss record. And vice versa.

"Vargas is due on Sunday, but Capuano may come off the DL in time for that start. Or so I'm told."
Capuano is one pitcher that I think this league will eat up this year. Unfortunately, we can't hit soft tossing lefties.

yeah, maybe DeRosa is getting slighted for our run differential difference. There's also some park factor stuff that gets played into there.

CF WAR is ridiculous...billy hamilton is pulling a 3.0 WAR somehow...and managed a 2.0 WAR last year (even though he missed a month of the season)...and a 3.7 WAR in 2014.
yeah, a lot depends on how one is doing relative to others at a given position, but WAR is common used (right or wrong) as a blanket comparing all kinds of players.
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.

2nd in defensive WAR, NL.

Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.

I might just do beef and broccoli, no rice or noodles. Then you may get some carbs from the sauce, but not as much as if you added rice or noodles to it. Or any other meat and veggie dish but sans the rice or noodles. Or if they have brown rice maybe you could have a little of that, but I don't suggest eating it all.

I got away with szechuan chicken and just didn't eat rice during my pregnancies. I also got away with Kung Pao same way. Neither dish had breaded chicken -- only boneless skinless. I would eat a veg. egg roll with it and even dip it in duck sauce. Sometimes we would get pork pot stickers and those worked well too because they had a large amount of the meat stuffing inside. I could never eat rice or noodles though without blowing my numbers. Watch portion sizes too -- what they give you is obviously too much for one meal. Gosh ... I think we'll be getting Chinese tomorrow...

Fire officials predict bad fire season for Arizona
PHOENIX — A dire prediction is out from the Forest Service with Arizona just weeks away from the 2013 wildfire season.
A new report said wildfires will only chew up more area in the next few years because of climate change. The area burned by wildfire is expected to at least double in the next 25 years. Wildfire expert Jim Paxon with Arizona Game and Fish said the situation has been building for a long time.
"Firefighters have been watching this situation. The last time we had normal winter snow coupled with a normal monsoon was 1992 to 1993. This is a very serious situation."
Paxon said the forests are a tinderbox because of bark beetles, which have killed off millions of trees in the west. The tree-destroying insects thrive in drought situations.
Arizona's largest wildfire on record burned more than a half-million acres in eastern Arizona in 2011. The Wallow Fire forced the evacuation of thousands of people from Alpine, Eagar, Greer and Springerville. Paxon said huge fires are going to become commonplace in our future and across the west."
"We will see a lot of half-million- to million-acre fires in the next few years."
Wildfires burned more than one million acres in Arizona in 2011 but 2012 brought a relatively tame year with about 200,000 acres charred. Colorado and New Mexico had devastating, record-setting wildfires. More than nine million acres burned in the lower 48 states, which is the third-highest year on record.
"We've had record high temperatures in Missoula, Mont. when it was warmer than Phoenix. This is crazy weather. If we don't clean up the forests Mother Nature will. And when she does it we start over. Her broom sweeps the forests clean."

It's Been 26 Years Since Jacob Wetterling Was AbductedThursday marks 26 years since 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was abducted in St. Joseph, Minnesota.
Two Weeks After His Disappearance, The Search For Barway ContinuesWednesday marks two weeks since a Twin Cities fourth-grader never made it safely home from school.
Jacob Wetterling Resource Center Hits 25 Year MilestoneJacob Wetterling's family would be celebrating his 37th birthday on Tuesday. Months after his abduction, a foundation was created to help families of missing or exploited children. Along with Jacob's birthday, that foundation will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Tuesday.
Saturday Is Missing Children's Day In Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has proclaimed Saturday as Missing Children's Day in Minnesota, part of a national effort to raise awareness about missing and exploited children.
Good Question: What Do We Tell Our Kids About Staying Safe?The kind of kidnapping that captivates the country -- and the media -- is thankfully very rare. On average 115 children under the age of 18 are abducted by strangers each year, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Advocates: Let Lights Shine For Jacob WetterlingThe Jacob Wetterling Resource Center is asking people to leave their porch lights on to honor the St. Joseph boy abducted 23 years ago.

recruitment process outsourcing (RPO)
Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is the contracting of an organization's finding and attracting employees to a third-party service provider.
Designed for You: Recruiting Goes Social
Learn 6 tips for harnessing the power of social media recruiting, the benefits and potential pitfalls of deploying social performance management software, and talent management system features that HR buyers everywhere are looking for.

The RPO provider can use its own recruiting methodologies and technology or adopt the client's techniques and systems. As with other forms of business process outsourcing (BPO), organizations that outsource recruiting hope to reduce cost and manual labor and improve compliance.
According to the research firm Gartner, globalization is another driver spurring the growth of RPO. As organizations expand into other countries, it's important to standardize sourcing, hiring and onboarding processes. Analysts say replacing multiple recruitment outposts with a centralized RPO provider might help companies achieve this aim. RPO can also provide companies with analytics on hiring practices.
Prominent RPO providers include ADP, Ceridian, NorthgateArinso and Xerox.

A dynamic method of measuring the charge induced on a conductor58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16371View Description Hide Description
A simple method of measuring the charge induced on a conductor is presented. The method is based on the idea that a charged projectile passing near a conducting object will cause surfacecharges to be dynamically induced on its surface. By suitably arranging a detector in the surface of the object, the charge drawn onto the conductor during the passage of the charged projectile can be measured and related to the induced surface charge density. The charge is computed by integrating the current waveform. The concept has been used to design a detector that measures the charge induced on a high‐speed projectile such as a pellet fired from an air rifle, the charge induced on a raised hemispherical boss by a uniform electric field, and the surface charge induced on a flat plate by a point charge.
Poetry for physicists58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16372View Description Hide Description
In an effort to discover what makes the humanities difficult and unpopular with some science and engineering students, 14 Cornell faculty from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, geology,materials science, and engineering were invited to become ''surrogate learners'' in a junior/senior level poetry seminar designed expressly for them. Their encounter with humanistic pedagogy and scholarship was meant to be an extension of ''Peer Perspectives on Science'' [see S. Tobias and R. R. Hake, ''Professors as physics students: What can they teach us?'' Am. J. Phys. 5 6, 786 (1988)]. The results challenge certain assumptions about differences between scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities and science (as regards ''certainty'' and models). But the experiment uncovered other problems that affect ''marketing'' the humanities to science and engineering students. Results are some additional insights into what makes science ''hard'' for humanities students and why physical science and engineering students have difficulty with and tend to avoid courses in literature, as well as into what can make humanities courses valuable for science students.
The twin paradox revisited58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16373View Description Hide Description
The twin paradox of special relativity results from failing to recognize the fundamental asymmetry between the two twins: One and only one twin changes direction and thus undergoes acceleration. What happens if the universe is closed, so that the twin in the rocket can return to Earth w i t h o u t changing direction? The twin paradox is reformulated in a closed universe (a cylinder) and then resolved by showing that there is still a (much more subtle!) asymmetry between the two twins.
The Bohr–Einstein ''weighing‐of‐energy'' debate and the principle of equivalence58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16374View Description Hide Description
The Bohr–Einstein debate over the ''weighing of energy'' and the validity of the time–energy uncertainty relation is reexamined in the context of gravitation theories that do not respect the equivalence principle. Bohr's use of the equivalence principle is shown to be sufficient, but not necessary, to establish the validity of this uncertainty relation in Einstein's ''weighing‐of‐energy'' gedanken experiment. The uncertainty relation is shown to hold in any energy‐conserving theory of gravity, and so a failure of the equivalence principle does not engender a failure of quantum mechanics. The relationship between the gravitational redshift and the equivalence principle is reviewed.
Everett's theory and the ''many‐worlds'' interpretation58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16375View Description Hide Description
A distinction is made between the ''popular many‐worlds interpretation'' and Everett's ''relative state'' formulation of quantum mechanics. This distinction is claimed to be relevant to arguments raised against both schemes.
Wilberforce's pendulum revisited58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16376View Description Hide Description
If its radius of gyration is properly tuned, a mass attached to a simple helical spring is able to perform longitudinal and torsional oscillations that are coupled with one another and exhibit the beats characteristic to coupled oscillations. The mechanism of coupling as well as the corresponding differential equations are derived. For the case of resonance, the solutions are compared with experimental results.
Oscillations of a dipole in a magnetic field: An experiment58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16377View Description Hide Description
The small oscillations of a parallelepidal magnet along the axis of a circular coil carrying an electric current have been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The study of this system (a particular case of a magnetic dipole in motion in a nonuniform magnetic field) involves basic ideas from both mechanics and electromagnetism, and the equipment used in the experiment is very common in an undergraduate laboratory. Comparison with the experiment shows that a very simple theoretical approach gives good results. It is also shown how the introduction of some refinements in the physical model can improve the agreement between theory and experiment, though the theoretical analysis becomes more involved in this case. The use of the principle of superposition to calculate magnetic fields is emphasized throughout the article.
Simulation of wave propagation in dispersive media using FFT58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16347View Description Hide Description
A method to show the temporal evolution of wavefunctions in linear lossless media is developed by using the inverse fast Fourier transform. Sequential images of the wave patterns are obtained by assuming simple phase functions for different dispersion relations, and for any given kind of spectra. The evolution of a wave packet shows the different group and phase velocities, and the deformation and spreading of the envelope in several dispersive media.
Generating functions and the statistics of radioactive chains58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16348View Description Hide Description
The statistics of a radioactive chain composed of father nuclei decaying into two daughter nuclei is analyzed. To illustrate the usefulness of generating functions, a master equation is used for the probability density and then an equation is derived and solved for the corresponding generating function. From this function the time evolution of the probability density is obtained. Two cases are considered: (1) when an external source gives rise to the father nuclei and (2) with no external source present. The effect of different initial conditions is also analyzed. The results clarify some misleading statements appearing in the literature, and provide teachers with interesting examples of the use of generating functions.
The gravitational red shift in a uniform field58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16349View Description Hide Description
When a photon is transmitted from a source S through a uniform gravitational field for which the acceleration due to gravity is g to a detectorD located a distance h above S, the frequency ν D of the photonmeasured at the detector is less than the frequency ν S measured at the source. The various assumptions and approximations employed in textbook analyses of this phenomenon are considered. The exact dependence of ν D on ν S , g, and h is then determined first on the conventional assumption that the frequency shift in a uniform gravitational field is the same as the frequency shift in a uniformly accelerating reference frame in field‐free space and, second, on the more valid assumption that space‐time is curved in a uniform gravitational field and the frequency shift in the field is a consequence of the space‐time curvature. The expressions obtained depend not only on which of the above assumptions is made but also on the exact interpretation of the quantities g and h.
Learning motion concepts using real‐time microcomputer‐based laboratory tools58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16350View Description Hide Description
Microcomputer‐based laboratory (MBL) tools have been developed which interface to Apple II and Macintosh computers. Students use these tools to collect physical data that are graphed in real time and then can be manipulated and analyzed. The MBL tools have made possible discovery‐based laboratory curricula that embody results from educational research. These curricula allow students to take an active role in their learning and encourage them to construct physical knowledge from observation of the physical world. The curricula encourage collaborative learning by taking advantage of the fact that MBL tools present data in an immediately understandable graphical form. This article describes one of the tools—the motion detector (hardware and software)—and the kinematics curriculum. The effectiveness of this curriculum compared to traditional college and university methods for helping students learn basic kinematics concepts has been evaluated by pre‐ and post‐testing and by observation. There is strong evidence for significantly improved learning and retention by students who used the MBL materials, compared to those taught in lecture.
A plea for a correct translation of Newton's law of inertia58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16351View Description Hide Description
The formulations of Newton's law of inertia in university‐level textbooks usually follow the Motte–Cajori translation of Newton's P r i n c i p i a. The rich content of Newton's law of inertia as a causality principle for mechanics is partly hidden by Motte's mistranslation of the Latin phrase n i s i q u a t e n u s as u n l e s s instead of e x c e p t i n s o f a r a s. One effect of this error is a tendency to isolate from the law some of the ''Definitions'' that precede Newton's statement of the three laws of motion. These definitions, when taken together with the laws, provide the basis for Newton's quantitative and qualitative elaboration of the coupled concepts of mass and force.
Optical fiber sensor experiments for the undergraduate physics laboratory58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16352View Description Hide Description
Two experiments, suitable for a 3‐h undergraduate laboratory period, employing optical fibers as position sensors are described. These two experiments are based on microbending losses in the fiber and on an external moving reflector, respectively. For each case a model that characterizes the behavior of the transmitted light output from the sensor is given. A knowledge of the model and subsequent analysis for each sensor provide natural experiments suitable for an undergraduate physics/optics laboratory.
Measurement of thermal expansion coefficients using a strain gauge58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16353View Description Hide Description
A strain gauge is employed to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion of a solid. The apparatus is interfaced to a computer to obtain a linear plot of displacement against temperature.
A very simple stabilized single‐mode He–Ne laser for student laboratories and wave meters58(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.16354View Description Hide Description
The principle and the construction of an intensity and a frequency‐stabilized single‐mode internal mirror He–Ne 633‐nm laser are described. An intensity stability better than 10− 3 and a frequency stability better than 10− 8 are obtained. The design is very simple, and the system is recommended for student laboratories and for laser‐wavelength meters.

I had this set as a child also. Actually I still have it scattered amongst my collection but I haven't assembled it for more than thirty years. It wasn't my first set (that was the Coast Guard Station) but as I was an absolute nut for Star Wars at the time (and still am) my parents bought me this set. It set a precedence for my building style that I have a hard time breaking from. Here is a model I built a few weeks ago before I knew of this thread, clearly inspired by the Classic Space:

Funny to read this post today. I've been pondering a lot this week about how, all too soon, the homeschooling journey will need to change for my older one. I see peer discussions getting more important, academics getting more rigorous, and my paradigm getting out of date. At what age does an afternoon at the zoo no longer constitute schoolwork?ReplyDeleteReplies
That's exactly it, Laura!!Delete
Now, will you hurry up and move back here so we can discuss these things at one of our kitchen tables?!?
My homeschooling friend across the street has a son going into high school next year. She's in the throes of major decision making as well.ReplyDelete
I feel it rising here, too, like the tide. And I feel a deep urge to stick my head in the sand. ha!!
The really unfair part of this - I will be potty training a toddler this year as well. Just sayin'.
I have nothing wise to offer because I'm still at the coveted potty training stage ;) But I do want to say I really like the looks of that online classics course you linked to. Would you continue it only if you don't do the challenge course? If you do, or if for any other reason Ian finds himself reading The Hiding Place, then I would highly recommend that you all come visit me for a family field trip to the Corrie ten Boom house. A think a week or two in Holland should surely count as schoolwork even if an afternoon at the zoo doesn't anymore.ReplyDeleteReplies
You know I would love to take that field trip, Tamara!!!Delete
Even though I'm not a parent, I really appreciate this post. A good, timely, and (as usual) beautifully-crafted reminder to keep talking to the One, clinging to the cross in the crossroads. Thank you :)ReplyDelete

Kentucky basketball has found itself in unfamiliar territory.
The Wildcats are unranked with a record of 13-6 and 4-2 in SEC play.
After starting the season ranked at No. 3, Big Blue Nation had high hopes for this batch of young 'Cats. With losses to teams like Alabama and Texas A&M, people want to know what's wrong with Kentucky.
Whether it's Kentucky's inability to close games or find its identity, this slideshow will address the five biggest problems along with the solutions for the rest of the season.
With the early-season growing pains out of the way and Kentucky firmly planted in conference play, the Wildcats must solve these problems if they want to be a factor come March.

Some of the issues you will be addressing:
- Why housing matters or why housing is important for all to have;
- Why there is a shortage of housing units affordable for people earning in the low- to moderate-income categories (the focus is on housing for people earning 30 – 80% of AMI for a geographic region, and for rental property) ;
- The basic approaches to increasing affordable housing and how the issue is being addressed by the private, public (government) and non-profit sectors of the economy, and
- The role citizens can play in insuring housing for all.
Resources for the Paper:
- For written resources, use the readings assigned for this course first, as appropriate.
- Most resources should be current (published since 2010).
- Eight (8) different sources are required, with the following stipulations:
‒ A maximum of two sources can be newspaper articles
‒ On-line sources must be .org, .gov or .edu; but not .com (.com references can be used as part of an introductory story, example, etc.)
‒ A minimum of one academic journal article and one book reference (not the text)
References (on separate page)
- For in-text citations and references (every in-text citation needs to be in the reference list; and every item in the reference list needs to be cited in the text)
- Use APA format
- Single space within and double space between
- On your reference list, highlight the academic journal article with yellow highlighter. Also, submit one copy of the academic journal article with the final draft.

"RE: Would Love Critique on How I used CNX2"
Bob, My pleasure. Not taking anything away from Jason's efforts, but I learned more from this thread than I would have from re-reading his book a third time. I'm grateful to those who jumped on board to state what they would have done differently, especially you, Dave and Peter. When you're relatively new to post processing, you feel a need to use as many tools that the app makes available, otherwise you feel that you may have "missed" something. The main thing I learned from this thread is to decide how you want an image to look, devise a plan within CNX2 to get there, and then to execute that plan in as few steps as possible. And finally, to discipline yourself so that you don't constanly over-tweak the image.Jerry LoSardoFrederick, Maryland

The sport's world governing body (UCI) has rejected Katusha's application to compete in the World Tour next year because of the team's doping record over the past four years. "I've given my word to the team and I'm going to stick with it," said the 33-year-old.
NBA: Toronto 97 Detroit 91, NY Knicks 100 Brooklyn 86, Orlando 90 Washington 83, Indiana 104 Utah 84, Boston 103 Cleveland 91, Atlanta 92 Oklahoma City 100, Houston 125 Philadelphia 103, Phoenix 121 Charlotte 104, Memphis 90 Milwaukee 80, Sacramento 131 Golden State 127, LA Clippers 93 New Orleans 77.

Seems a long time since the last update or any activity in this support forum, so just wondering whether this plugin is still being maintained? It seems the only one I can find to do this rather handy little job, so would be good if it was still kept going please!
Assuming that it is, there is one small (maybe?) improvement I'd like to request please. I installed the plugin to enable me to have an extra 'on backorder' status which worked well, except that this status does not show up in the WooCommerce overview in the main WP dashboard. So it appeared that the order no longer existed when marked as 'on back order' since it was no longer in the displayed Processing, Completed, etc categories.
So could the custom statuses be added to the WooCommerce dashboard please?
Regards, James
