Jackson Burke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackson Burke (San Francisco, California 1908 - 1975) was an American type and book designer. After studying at the University of California, Berkeley, he succeeded C.H. Griffith as Director of Typographic Development at Mergenthaler Linotype from 1949 until 1963, where he designed several type faces.[1]
He was also responsible for a number of other achievements at Mergenthaler-Linotype including:
- development of fonts for native American languages[2]
- development of the TeleTypesetting System (TTS) for magazine use
- development and implementation of the first phase of Linotype Group's photocomposition library[3]
Type Faces[edit]
- Trade Gothic series (Linotype), considered by some to be a knock-off of Morris Fuller Benton's News Gothic.
- Trade Gothic Condensed + Bold (1948)
- Trade Gothic Extra Condensed + Bold (1948)
- Trade Gothic + Bold (1955)
- Trade Gothic Extended + Bold (1959)
- Trade Gothic Light + Italic (1962)
- Majestic + Bold (1955, Linotype), some sources credit this face to Burke,[4] while others simply list it as being created by "staff designers".[5]
- Aurora + Italic (1960, Linotype), only made in 8.5 point.

Bank of America acquitted of discrimination against Muslim charity
Despite its charity efforts, Life for Relief and Development's Bank of America (BOA) account was abruptly closed, for no known reason.
Life's lawyers cited xenophobic rhetoric, which they say has resulted in the closures of hundreds of Arab Americans' accounts by several banks over decades, as the reason for their bank account closure.

Western Digital Scorpio WD2500BEVS
- 250GB capacity, Good performer, Cool and quiet operation, Competitive price
- Unknown mean time between failure
Bottom Line
Western Digital's 250GB Scorpio is currently the largest capacity notebook hard drive on the market. However, its large capacity and cool and quiet characteristics also make it an interesting proposition for a media centre PC.
Price$ 299.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 1 store)
Western Digital's Scorpio WD2500BEVS makes it possible for notebook computers to pack a quarter of a terabyte of hard drive space on a single internal drive. It's the first 2.5in-sized drive we've seen with such a capacity and it's sure to be a hit not only in the notebook market, but also with the media centre and external storage crowds.
The 250GB Scorpio has a formatted capacity of 232GB. It makes use of perpendicular recording technology, which is an innovation that's allowed hard drive manufacturers to ramp up capacities significantly. On non-perpendicular drives, the data is stored end-to-end on the platter (think of a flat-lying domino), but on a perpendicular drive the data is stored standing up, perpendicular to the platter (think of a domino that's been stood up on its edge). This allows more data to be stored in the same physical area of the platter and this particular Scorpio is able to store 125GB of data on each of its two platters.
For the notebook market, the Scorpio will allow more capacity than ever to be installed, without sacrificing weight and portability. Its Serial ATA 1.5Gbps interface means it will only be installable on recent notebooks, but this interface also means that it can be easily installed on desktop systems and media centres.
Indeed, the Scorpio represents an interesting proposition for media centre PCs due to its small size, cooler temperatures and very quiet operation and its capacity is adequate for storing and recording digital TV shows. The only concerns are its performance and mean time between failure (MTBF), if it's to be used for prolonged periods of time as a system drive. Western Digital was unable to provide an MTBF figure, but we were able to conduct performance tests to get an indication of its speed.
The Scorpio has a spin speed of 5400rpm and a data buffer of 8MB, and these are solid specifications for a 2.5in-sized hard drive. A modern 3.5in-sized desktop hard drive can have a spin speed of 7200rpm and a data buffer of up to 32MB. The spin speed plays a part in how fast data can be retrieved and written to the platters; the faster it is, the sooner the required read or write location can be accessed. The buffer is the zone where data is stored before it's written to the hard drive, but it can also be used to speed up read times. Data arrives from the system to the hard drive at a much faster rate than it can be written, so a bigger buffer means more data can be stored and quickly accessed.
Plugged into an ASUS P5B Premium motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU, 1GB of DDR 800MHz RAM and a 150GB Western Digital Raptor as a system drive, the Scorpio was able to read data at a rate of 34MBps and write it at rate of 27MBps. The Scorpio was able to copy data from one location on the drive to another at a rate of 16MBps. Our dataset was 12.8GB and consisted of thousands of files of varying size and type, as a worst-case scenario-type test, so these results mean it should be able to keep up with the demands of a typical media centre PC. As a comparison, the fastest desktop hard drives can copy data from one location on the drive to another at around 30MBps, while slower drives can perform the same task at between 18-21MBps.
Noise was barely audible while the drive was reading and writing data, and we had the drive exposed during our tests. If installed in a notebook, a media centre, or even an external drive enclosure, it will be practically silent.
When used in a Vantec NexStar 3 2.5in external drive enclosure, the 250GB Scorpio becomes a convenient portable hard drive. Using the USB 2.0 interface of this enclosure, the Scorpio was able to copy data from one location to another at a rate of 10MBps, which is the maximum speed we've seen from most 2.5in external USB 2.0 drives.
For protection against platter damage, the Scorpio incorporates technology that parks the drive's heads away from the platters while the drive is spinning up and spinning down, and also while it's off. This technology mainly protects the platters and heads from accidental bumps while the drive is in a non-operational state. Of course, the drive won't be able to withstand harsh treatment at any time, especially while it's operating.
Western Digital supports this Scorpio with a 3-year warranty, which is generous for a mobile hard drive and its $299 price tag is very competitive. It works out to be $1.28 per gigabyte. It's suitable not only as an upgrade for a notebook computer, but also as a portable external hard drive and it can even be considered for a media centre PC.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

East Mississippi State Hospital held its annual Christmas parade Friday. More than 25 entries paraded through the EMSH ground. Patients enjoyed a variety of floats, bands and treats.
"The purpose of the parade is none other than to give wonderful entertainment to the patients and clients out here," said Bob Smith, a patient advocate at EMSH.
"We look forward to this every year," said Matar McClinton of the EMSH staff. "It does put you in the Christmas spirit and maybe next year it will be bigger and better and greater."
Organizers said this year's parade was one of the best ever.

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Loved the feel of itThis show had just about everything I enjoy in an anime. The world building, character development, and artwork all worked very well together. Though the artwork seemed to taper off a few episodes in (it started off absolutely incredible imo, loved the style), but overall I continued watching because the plot itself was good.
I was skeptical, but glad I gave it a go!I will judge an anime by its cover. I at least gave the synopsis a read and thought 'what the hell' I will give it a try. I must say the synopsis does not give a good glimpse of what the anime is. It's a journey of childhood to adult hood dealing with issues that make your morals shake.
Yes yes yes yes yes yesLoved this anime more than any of the ones I watched this year.
The ending was perfect and it had depth and a great storyline. I loved the animation at times, the backgrounds were really stunning.
I'm going to have to get my hands on the books now because I seriously need more.
Complex interesting animeI did not know what to expect going into this but Shin Kedai Yori exceed whatever expectations I might have had. It is one of the better Anime I have had the pleasure of watching. Complex ideas and though. Open ended events that leave room for analysis and interpretation. A hearty recommendation.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:If I had to describe this series in one word...This is the first time I've written a review on here and its one the few times I've even thought of doing it. It takes many words to describe this show but if I had to pick one then i'd go with "mature". If you want a series description then read the "About this show" on crunchy roll. If you want a summary, don't. You only need to make the decision of whether or not you go on this journey. If you ...Read more
Amazingly Written Masterpiece!This is a most watch! I've seen a lot of different kinds of anime, from shoujo to the darkest gory animes and there's not a lot of anime that keep you intrigue and wanting more like this one does. During the entire series it takes you moments after the episode is done to think and realize what's really going on. Character developing is amazing! Scenary superb, and background music just ...Read more
A strong adaptation for a good novelI watched this show first when it was airing and again recently (2015). I have to say that both then and now it is one of my favorite anime of the past 10 years.Read more
The main strength of the anime lies in the focus which is placed on plot and character development. Nearly everything that occurs in the anime helps further the plot, characters, or setting - no unnecessary fan service, no unnecessary ...
Shinsekai yori-masterpieceScores seem a little devalued on CR what with most shows getting 4 or 5 stars but trust me when I say this show deserves at least 50 stars compared to most other shows on this site.Read more
I'm assuming you know the basic plot but it is somewhat misleading. This is NOT some show about superpowered kids its a dark, dystopian and harsh tale of human nature, death and control. There are more interesting ...
A gem disguised as something elseI was not sure what to expect going into this, I had found this title from some other online anime reviewers and all they gave about it was it is not what it appears to be. From the onset one would think this to be a happy coming of age tale of school-goers and stuff, but right out on the beginning this show throws you a curve ball.Read more
From the New World, gives us some rich history to help piece ...
One of my recent favoritesI'll keep the review short, sweet and simple. The story was decently complex without being the type that you have to watch a few times to understand what's going on. Enough intrigue to keep you guessing, but not so much that you're scratching your head. Mostly dialogue driven, so most action junkies may not fully appreciate it, but despite being a bit of an action junkie myself, I found myself ...Read more

Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Update: Loyal TCR reader Jacos points out my glaring omission of Bobby Murcer from the obit list. I think I scooted right past his name on the list of 2008 baseball deaths because I will always think of him as a New York Yankee despite his time with the Cubs and Giants, just like I will always think of Billy Williams as a Cub, despite his time with the Athletics. For the record, Murcer was acquired in trade from San Francisco for Bill Madlock in 1977 then traded back to the Yankees in June of 1979. In his two and a half years with the Cubs, Murcer had a couple of okay seasons--including 27 HR and 89 RBI in '77.
In the year just past, eight more men with various ties to our beloved Cubs left this world without seeing a World Series championship find its way to the North Side.
R.I.P. to you all, gentlemen...
John Buzhardt
(Died 6/15/08 at age 71 in Prosperity, South Carolina)
A right-hander signed by the Cubs as an amateur in 1954, Buzhardt pitched for the team in September of 1958 and all of 1959. In his two seasons in Cubbie blue, Buzhardt went 7-5, bouncing between starting and relief roles. The highlight of his Cub career was in June of '59, when Buzhardt threw a complete game, one-hit shutout at the Phillies. In addition to pitching for the Cubs, Buzhardt played for the Phillies, White Sox, Orioles, and Astros, ending his career in 1968 with a record of 71-96.
Don Cardwell (Died 1/14/08 at age 72 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina)
Two days after being traded to the Cubs by the Phillies in 1960, Cardwell no-hit the Cardinals at Wrigley Field. If you haven't seen the grainy black & white footage from the WGN broadcast that day, you should.
Cardwell won a career-high 15 games for the Cubs in 1961. Following the '62 season, he was traded to the Cardinals, who, a month later, traded him to the Pirates. By 1967, Cardwell was a Met, and though he was bumped from the post-season rotation during the Mets' run to a World Championship in the God-forsaken '69 season, he was a big contributor during the team's stretch run, going 4-0 from mid-August through mid-September while yielding just five runs in 45 innings.
Don Eaddy (Died 7/9/08 at age 74 in Laconia, New Hampshire)
A multi-sport star in college, Eaddy was signed by the Cubs out of the University of Michigan in 1955, when college men weren't all that common in professional baseball, and college men who happened to be African-Americans were even less common on the Major League scene.
Eaddy's Cub career--and his time as a big leaguer--consisted of one season, 1959, when he appeared in 15 games, almost exclusively as a pinch-runner. In fact, he only had one at-bat and played one inning in the field for the Cubs, in the same game, on 8/21/59 against the Reds. Eaddy struck out in his one at-bat and made an error in the field, thus validating the Cubs' decision to use him almost exclusively as a pinch-runner.
Kevin Foster (Died 10/11/08 at age 39 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
Kevin Foster experienced both the honor of playing Major League baseball and the joy of doing it for the team he had lived and died with as a kid.
The former Evanston High School star was originally drafted in 1987 by the Expos as an infielder. He was converted to a pitcher in '91 and by '93, he was pitching in the Majors for Philadelphia. The Cubs acquired Foster from the Phillies in 1994, in exchange for Shawn Boskie.
In 1995, Foster's first full year in the bigs, he went 12-11. In 1997, he enjoyed the distinction (if that's the word for it) of earning the Cubs' first victory after the team had dropped its first 14 games of the season.
Arm injuries shortened Foster's career and he last pitched professionally for the Rangers, though only briefly, in 2001.
Foster, who died from renal cell carcinoma, seems to have been a first-class guy, as these remembrances by people who knew him attest. (Hard to know if the note from Jim Riggelman really was from Foster's former Cub manager, but I would like to think so.)
Geremi (aka Jeremy, Jeremi) Gonzalez (Died 5/25/08 at age 33 in Punta Palma, Zulia, Venezuela)
Even by baseball standards, Gonzalez was a young man when he was killed by a lightning strike while on a beach in his native Venezuela.
Gonzalez won 11 games for the Cubs as a rookie in 1997 and 7 more games in '98, before injuries kept him out of the Majors until 2003, when he reappeared as a starter for Lou Piniella's Tampa Bay Devil Rays. On June 3rd of that year, Gonzalez was pitching in Wrigley Field for the Rays against the Cubs, when Sammy Sosa's bat exploded and all of that unsightly cork was exposed.
Said Piniella of Gonzalez, who was known as "Jeremy" while a Cub and then began to adhere to the Spanish spelling of his name later in his career:
"He was a nice young man...a competitive kid, really good natured...I liked him a lot."
Jerome Holtzman (Died 7/25/08 at age 82 in Evanston)
You'll find a brief audio recap of Holtzman's more than 50-year career as a Chicago sportswriter and official MLB historian at the NPR Web site right here. Also Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald offered a personal reminiscence at the time of Holtzman's death.
Al Montreuil (Died 1/18/08 at age 64 in New Orleans)
Montreuil was signed as an amateur free agent by the Red Sox in 1963, was acquired by the Cubs organization prior to the 1969 season, and finally made his Major League debut late in 1972, when the Cubs needed a warm body to replace injured second baseman Glenn Beckert and the usual backup, veteran Paul Popovich, who was also hurt. (The Cubs were so desperate that before Montreuil got the call-up, Ron Santo was actually pressed into some duty at second base.) In 11 September at-bats for the Cubs, Montreuil produced just one hit, a single off the Padres' Bill Greif in Montreuil's first game on September 1st.
Lou Stringer (Died 10/19/08 at age 91 in Lake Forest, California)
Stringer, whose three seasons as a Cub second baseman were interrupted by his service in the Air Force during World War II, owed his place in the Cubs starting lineup to one of the worst trades in team history.
In May, 1941, as the story goes, Dodgers chief exec Larry MacPhail (Andy's granpda) got Cubs GM Jim Gallagher and Cubs manager Jimmie Wilson in a New York hotel room and after five and a half hours of "conferencing" over a variety of alcoholic beverages, the three emerged to announce the trade of eventual Hall of Famer Billy Herman from the Cubs to the Dodgers for two journeymen and $35,000.
The trade opened a job for Stringer, who, over the course of the '41, '42, and '46 seasons, appeared in 346 games for the Cubs, hitting .246, .236, and .244. Herman, meanwhile, had several more productive seasons and two All-Star appearances for Brooklyn before his playing career ended in 1947.

Rob, trade me A-Rod for Holliday.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I'll think about it...
I'm sure it just got cut-off, but it was suppose to read, "Rob, trade me A-rod for Holliday and Sizemore", right?
you need some pitchers, I have some available...
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Nah, GilgaMeche will be there in the draft when I need him.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I feel alot better knowing that John Buzhardt was successful after he left the game of baseball.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I know this an obvious question, but, me being old and fucking blue as hell, what about the Cubs themselves? Ah, see? They're never dead in our eyes, are they? Shit. I should write a book about it. I've written books about other stuff (yes, published ones). Why not about Cubs fans and their eternal joy with a team that always sucks?
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I think Cubs can help Marlins with CFer and pitching for Hanley.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Unfortunately, we gave up all our good prospects when we traded for Peavy.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
ROOM FOR ONE MORE: RHP Dave Smith (12-17-08).
Smith is best-remembered for having blown the 9th inning save in the infamous Game from Cubbie Hell at Pittsburgh in 1991, the one where the Cubs somehow found a way to blow a five-run lead in the bottom of the 11th inning, which turned out to be the largest blown extra-inning lead in MLB history.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
is it just me or is CHC and TB the only teams mentioned for bradley...and none recently.
dunn/manny/abreu's name i keep hearing, but no bradley.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Texas offered Bradley arbitration. So I can see him going back there if he doesn't get a substantial offer form someone.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
The Cubs are confident of signing free-agent designated hitter Milton Bradley, but a number of teams remain interested in the free-agent designated hitter, including the Rays, Yankees and Nationals. The Yankees, as is their custom, are touching base with virtually every available offensive player.
apparently the Angels also made some inquiries, but if they're passing on Manny Ramirez on attitude issues, can't see them going for Bradley.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
same article has some Peavy/Cubs talk as well....
file under FWIW...
felix pie is part of the cubs caravan.
gathright and gregg, too.
Re: file under FWIW...
What about Marquis?
Re: file under FWIW...
different stops have different players, traditionally. two tour groups.
here's the peoria stop on the caravan.
"PEORIA, IL- The Chicago Cubs and Peoria Chiefs have announced the players and coaches who will make up the Peoria stop of the Cubs Caravan which is scheduled for the RiverPlex on Thursday, January 15 at 5:00 PM. Possible closer-in-waiting Carlos Marmol along with rookie sensation Jeff Samrardzija highlight the panel which also consists of pitchers Sean Marshall and Kevin Hart and 2008 Chiefs outfielder Brandon Guyer."
Re: gathright and gregg, too
GATHRIGHT! is part of the Cubs caravan
I wouldn't expect anything less of our new starting right fielder.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
cheap replica jerseys...multiple teams...should go fast-ish.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I put the Cubs gear that is available in the TCR store if anyone is going to buy them. Kicks a few bucks our way and doesn't cost you anything extra.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
LOL. Juan Pierre jersey tops the price list at $99.95
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Steve Phillips says the Cubs are close to dealing Marquis to COL for Luis Vizcaino. Didn't mention anything regarding money however.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I hereby dub this rumor Vizmarquis.

Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
is there a link?
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
that would be awesome, imo.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
...I'd rather have Jose Vizcaino (is he still around? Didn't see his obit either)
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
He had such expressionistic eyebrows!
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Vizcaino is owed $3.5m for 2009 and a $4m option in 2010 with a $500k buyout.
So, assuming it's a stright-up deal and the Cubs exercise the 2010 buy-out, the Cubs eat nearly $6m of Marquis' deal.
He would certainly provide the veteran bullpen presence that they had been seeking. As Harry would say, he's modeled a few uniforms...
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
I'll assume the Cubs are giving them $$
The Rockies, meanwhile, continue to monitor Jason Marquis' situation
with the Cubs. Colorado would like to trade for the right-hander, but
can't absorb hardly any of his $9.8 million salary this season.
Redding, based on what Daniel Cabrera signed for earlier this month, is
line for roughly $2.6 to $3 million.
my guess is the Cubs would still kick in a $1-2M at least...
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Maybe the Cubs should trade for Hanley Ramirez and tell the Marlins they can't exorb hardly any of his salary. What the hell is this? If they don't want him, then don't trade for him. To paraphrase crunch, 'It's not like he's garbage'.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
my guess being they didn't have more than $3, maybe $4M for a starter in their budget. Moving Vizcaino and getting some cash from the Cubs might make it work.
Saving $4-$5M for the Cubs wouldn't hurt them, although unless they still plan on pursuing Peavy, I don't get the point now. Unless they need the money for the RFer....
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
OK, but $3 to $4 million isn't "hardly any". There's no point in trading Marquis if we don't get significant payroll relief, throwing in no more than $3 million. If we have to take a bad contract back, than there shouldn't be any cash going their way at all.
I wonder if the A's would be interested, they seem ready to spend some cash, and keep missing on targets.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
well maybe less than half of his contract constitutes "hardly any" to the Rockies or the writer of that article. It doesn't seem like a big deal, poor word choice if anything.
Jason Marquis is neither young or good at striking out hitters, so I don't see the A's having any interest. When does Billy Beane trade for average players with a bad contract?
He seems to either trade for a load of prospects or surprise everyone and get in on a big name.
Re: Gone to the Eternal Confines: 2008 Cub Obits
Per Rosenthal;
The move, which is not expected to be announced until next week, would save the Cubs between $5-6 million -- money they could devote to the pursuit of a left-handed hitting outfielder such as their primary target, free agent Milton Bradley, a switch-hitter.
The cash going from the Cubs to the Rockies would be less than $1 million, sources say. The Rockies would take on Marquis' $9.875 million salary for next season while the Cubs would assume Vizcaino's $3.5 million obligation.
Stuff on David Patton
Four different Cubs scouts got reads on Patton this past season. Some believed the pitch, which registered anywhere from 79 to 84 mph, was more of a hard curve while others lauded it as a slider.
In any case, the scouts were impressed.
"The way the breaking ball is today, much like a couple of guys in our system now with their breaking balls, some are calling it a curve, some are calling it a slider," said Wilken. "That's a product of amateur ball and guys having an in-between (arm) slot where it's more of a slurve, but at times resembles a power curveball.
"Everyone had a plus breaking ball on this guy for the future, so does it happen this year? In the Rule Five, it seems it's always the following year. Clubs identify those guys and it seems to happen one year later. That's because most organizations don't think it's going to happen in that year period."
91-94 mph fastball, third pitch is a change...
but seriously
is there a link or was it on ESPN News? Sportscenter?
Re: but seriously

I agree -- I think if you are a soft-tosser, you need a track record before you are taken seriously. If Kyle posts sub-3.00 ERA consistently and wins 15+ games a few times (and pitches more innings), he may have a shot at the award in a few years. Hopefully, he gets in the top 5 this year -- would be deserved and a nice boost for his confidence.
It's also possible that the Cubs have no intention of recalling Spencer Patton. Perhaps Maddon has seen enough of him, and Patton will eventually be one of the players cut to make room for others who will be added to the 40 in September.
I doesn't know what your talking about.
Maybe it's to get him some game action. He's only pitched for the Cubs once in the last 10 days. I don't really care much about him going down since he's sucked when up here.
I really want Rivero to be called up.
CHITOWNMVP01: It is indeed odd that the Cubs did not just wait one more day to recall LaStella.
As far as Spencer Patton is concerned...
Why didn't they wait until tomorrow to call up TLS? Don't they have to wait 10 days to bring Patton back up now?
Cubs assigned to Mesa Solar Sox (AFL):
Victor Caratini, C
James Farris, RHRP
Ian Happ, 2B-OF
Eloy Jimenez, OF
Ryan McNeil, RHRP
Steve Perakslis, RHRP
Duane Underwood Jr, RHSP
Brian Lawrence, Pitching Coach
Jimenez, Happ, Caratini and Underwood are among the Cubs Top 10 Prospects, and playing in the AFL should help speed their development.
So presuming he remains on the MLB Active List for the balance of the MLB regular season, Tommy LaStella will be at 2+102 MLB Service Time at the end of the season, far short of what he would have needed to accrue to have a chance at "Super Two" status post-2016. (Even if he had remained on the MLB Active List for the entire season and finished at 2+124 MLB Service Time, he still would have only been "on the bubble" for possible "Super Two" status post-2016).
I don't know about the defensive part of the equation, the fact all the Cubs pitchers are so ahead of their FIP makes me think it's a lot more defense than anything special Hendricks is doing.
Thanks, jacos! I love a good Alice Cooper group performance video -- especially when it corresponds with a shrinking, division-clinching magic number!
TLS up and playing second today. Spencer Patton to Iowa to make room.
Yeah that article describes what I said in my other post about WAR. BR WAR is fine as a snapshot but FG is a better predictor of future performance.
I also get what you mean by FIP being independent of luck but my point is all the soft contact Hendricks gives up negates a lot of that luck and defense aspect. In other words I believe he could pitch in front of any defense and have similar #s because for the most part he isn't giving up the screaming liners or hard hit liners to the gap.
Down on the farm:
"Dealin'" Cease with another good outing for Eugene. Last 4 outings: 16IP, 1ER 29K. But, 10BB. Throw strikes, kid.
Candelario is killing it at Iowa after struggling at AA: .320/.406/.941 in 241AB. At age 22. Where the heck to put him next year?
SF now only 1 game ahead of the Cards for home field in the WC game.
For a start:
"lets" should be "let's".

Hands-on: LeapFrog LeapPad 2 reviewPocket-lint
LeapFrog has updated its LeapPad kids tablet with the launch of the LeaPad2 and we've managed to have a quick play at a couple of recent events in London ahead of the UK launch.
The new LeapPad2 includes a higher-resolution front and rear camera, packs a faster processor, has better memory capability, improved battery life, and new exclusive engaging content to help children learn while having fun – hey, kids want upgrades too.
In reality and all those upgrades do actually make a difference. The LeapPad2 now feeling zippier in use when we've played with it. It turns on quicker, Apps load quicker, and in game functions run quicker.
If you are trying to outsmart your 5-year-old the new LeapPad2 features a new, faster LF 2000 processor, double the memory (4 GB) and improved battery life. There is also now an optional rechargeable battery pack to save you having to buy AA batteries all the time.
But it's not just about a spec boost to enhance the experience, LeapFrog has developed new apps for the tablet too.
There are two new apps: Cartoon Director and Art Studio alongside those previously available like the fun camera app and a colouring in app to use with the stylus.
Cartoon Director allows you to snap a friend or family member and then put their head directly into a story before recording their own voiceover. It looks like great fun and we are sure our kids will enjoy it when we get the LeapPad2 in for a full review.
Thankfully software and games for the original model will work for the new device too.
While the LeapFrog LeapPad2 won't be welcomed by kids who are already playing with your iPad, it is suitable for those who either don't have access, or who you don't want to have access to your favourite Apple tablet. It's a fraction of the cost, considerably more robust, and with LeapFrog's fantastic learning apps, considerably more educational.
LeapPad2 will be sold at RRP £89.99 and is recommended for children 3 to 9 years. It will go on sale in the UK, Ireland, US and Canada from early August. Those who are desperate to get the new model will be able to pre-order the new tablet from 18 July.

No party machine behind her, but Nessa Childers happy to brandish her independent credentials
Published 14/05/2014 | 02:30
NESSA Childers was keeping vigil for shoppers outside the large SuperValu supermarket in Kimmage.
Right in her eyeline, on the opposite wall of the car park, loomed a huge poster of Labour's Euro candidate for Dublin, Emer Costello.
"The main parties sweep into places like something out of 'Transformers', in a line of jeeps covered in logos," she shrugged.
Nessa was part of the Political Machine herself, not so long ago. Until last summer she was ensconced in the Labour Party, after successfully running in the East constituency in the 2009 Euro elections. (Before that, she had been a Green Party councillor, joining that party after failing to get nominated to run in the local elections for Labour.)
But she proved to be one of Labour's multifarious members of the Awkward Squad. Among her various rebellions against the party line was her vociferous objections in 2011 to supporting the government decision to hand a plum post at the European Court of Auditors to Kevin Cardiff, former secretary-general of the Department of Finance.
So it was little surprise when Nessa resigned first from the parliamentary party, and then Labour itself last year, declaring: "I no longer want to support a Government that is actually hurting people".
Also, in what may prove to be a canny move, in January she announced she would also switch constituencies for this month's elections, running in Dublin rather than Ireland South.
And despite the dizzying series of moves that leave her without a Transformer team of her own, Nessa is still in the hunt for a seat in what's shaping up to be a tight race in the capital, with Fine Gael's Brian Hayes, Labour's Costello, Fianna Fail's Mary Fitzpatrick, Eamon Ryan of the Green Party and Sinn Fein's Lynn Boylan in the mix.
It was clear on the canvass yesterday that the MEP was more than happy to brandish her Independent credentials. Almost every person wandering past en route to the shops who stopped to take an election leaflet had the same opening question: "What party are you from?"
Nessa smiled happily. "Oh, I'm an Independent in every sense of the word," she assured her inquisitor. "I'll vote for you, so. I'm not voting for anyone but Independents," came the inevitable reply.
"We're getting loads of that on the canvasses," reflected Nessa. "There's a lot of anger out there about Labour and FG – actually FG is getting it even worse in the past few weeks over all the Shatter business," she reckoned.
One woman pushing a buggy stopped for a chat. She wasn't happy. Iraqi woman Maha Al-Adheem has been living in Ireland with her husband for three-and-a-half years, and despite being a qualified doctor, is still unable to work here. Nor can the couple find a landlord who will accept their rent supplement and are living in one room with their newborn baby, Omar. "I worked as a doctor in Syria, but I cannot do so here, and I really do want to work. I'm getting very mad about it," she told Nessa.
Canvassing alongside Nessa was John O'Donovan, first-time Independent candidate in the Crumlin-Kimmage constituency.
John, who teaches journalism at Griffith College, said he had forged a network of both support and intelligence with other Independent candidates across the city. "The word is that Independents are getting a great response – there's no anger directed towards us," he said.
He is campaigning to have a community benefit clause made part of the Dolphin's Barn regeneration project, whereby a clause reserving about a quarter of all jobs created through it would be part of the city council's tender. He also wants the many shuttered premises in the area to be opened up to business and community projects.
Nessa said she had sought like-minded Independent candidates to canvass within the different areas of the constituency.
"It's fascinating how local groups and communities have taken over from government authorities in trying to get things done in their areas," she said. "People are taking back control, because they're disillusioned with broken promises."
Nessa is "hopeful" of snatching a seat in Dublin. "But I need No 1 preferences," she added. "I've no big machine behind me".

text: Posted January 7, 2014 Good stat line cpf96... Here is why I've said that Cody WILL be a good to possibly great pick. Dirk, with a similar body and skill set, only averaged 8 ppt and ~3 ppg as a rookie averaging about 20 mpg. The only reason that his ppg finished that high is because he started getting significantly more minutes as the season wound down and finished with a season-high of 29 points in an April game (basically the end of the season). Everyone knows he continued to work tirelessly on his range and that fade away and became the Dirk we all know now. So, Cody, again, with a similar body and skill set, is currently averaging 5 ppg and 4 rpg. He's also shown himself to be a deft passer - which Dirk has never been, and he has been a willing defender and shown a capacity for getting big blocks. Now, I know Dirk is setting the bar awfully high, but as I said, their frames, footwork, athleticism, and skill set are very similar at this same point starting out in each of their careers. They've said Cody showed great ability in hitting 3s in pre-draft workouts and we've seen nights where he hits multiple 15-20 footers. He needs minutes and confidence. Give him another offseason to work on a go-to move or two, and he could be much more than "just another guy." But, we'll have to wait and see. I wouldnt compare Zeller to Dirk. I dont that thats his game. I was optimistic that he could be that or a Bosh after we took him, but watching him now hes still really the same player he was at Indiana. I think we're overreacting on Zeller due to his ability to drain the 3s in "predraft workouts". I mean Tom Crean is a smart man and why would he not utilize that part of Zeller's game over there? There has to be a reason. Im not saying that Zeller cant shoot bc he can. It's just that Zeller is a stretch four that is good in transition running the floor. He really needs to get his post game going and his game will take off. Thats my only problem with him right now. Yall may not agree with me but Im telling yall that Zeller is more "Al Jefferson" than Dirk or Bosh. Thats really my opinion. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt like my leather pants could use some texture and so I resurrected my softest jacket. Probably the only thing in my wardrobe that feels soft as a teddy bear. Jacket, Ann-Sofie Back; Leather pants, Hunkydory; Shoes, Prada; Bag, Su-shi.
This is what I wore during a random stroll yesterday. On Saturdays I usually grab the first best sweater from the boyfriends side of the closet that I can find. I feel like simple mens sweaters like these have a way nicer fit than one could ever find at the womens department. You can tell …
Rodebjer coat (via Dear Fieldbinder), Uniqlo turtle neck, Paige denim, Isabel Marant shoes, Su-shi bag and Urban Outfitters cap.
This one is from Sunday, when Lesley's parents took me to a castle for a high tea as an early birthday present. I always find cropped jumpers a hard one to pull off, but I couldn't let this yellow one pass. I was wearing a Style by Marina jumper, Cheap Monday jeans, Acne shoes and Su-shi bag.
I got featured on Stockholm Streetstyle yesterday! Now do I need some sort of the same camera lens or what?!
What I was wearing on my first official LuisaViaRoma Firenze 4 Ever day, keeping it comfy since I was playing photographer for Yara all day. Tomorrow the roles are turned and I will do some styling with the gorgeous clothes from the LuisaViaRoma store. I'm thinking a bit of Balmain, a bit of Burberry… I …
My biggest wish right now is for the snow to dissapear so I can wear proper outfits and take proper pictures again. Snow can be fun, but I keep dreaming of the face of my upstairs little monster neighbour, with the hugest smile on his face and an iceball (not snow) in his hand. Lucky …
When I want to buy something, I always ask myself three questions before I actually go pay. Do I love it? Do I need it? Am I going to wear it? This is my way to prevent myself from bad bargains, though I can easily come up with excuses to answer those questions positively most …

HONG KONG — If the city has a mixologist du jour, it's Antonio Lai. The 33-year-old Hong Kong native made his mark behind the bar at Finds, where loyal patrons would line up for his cocktails made with dry ice and spherified liquid globules containing flavors such as Earl Grey Tea.
Now the author of two books in Chinese and English that give the recipes to his molecular drinks, he this year opened Quinary, a cozy space in Central with plush armchairs, leather ottoman benches, a dramatically backlit bar and a "playroom" filled with laboratory equipment including a rotary evaporator (to distill liquids) and a centrifuge (to make those caviar-like globules). "People call it a bar, but these are my toys," he said.
No drink better showcases Mr. Lai's application of gastronomic principles to mixology than his Bloody Mary, based on a blend of celery, horseradish, celeriac and Absolut vodka distilled through a rotary evaporator.
Mr. Lai combines the vodka along with his homemade tomato juice, blending cherry tomatoes with canned ones for a less salty and more pulpy version compared to the store-bought norm. He also adds his own Bloody Mary mix, made by simmering a mix of Worcestershire sauce, tobacco, chili pepper, wasabi, coriander seed and celery salt for two hours at a low temperature. ("I love this on fries," he added.)
The result? A rich-bodied, appetizing drink with far more flavor than your usual Sunday brunch cocktail.

By 8th Theater Sustainment Command Public AffairsJanuary 28, 2014
AIEA, Hawaii -- It's a bond that grows stronger with every single push-up and sit-up they laugh through together, every single Tuesday and Wednesday in the gyms and on the playgrounds of Webling Elementary School; a bond that a group of 8th Special Troops Battalion Soldiers are committed to constantly reenergizing with exercises and smiles each week.
Fueled by the dynamic mentorship of Sgt. Luke Failauga and Pfc. Darrius Scott, more than 180 students in the school's kindergarten, 1st and 5th grade classes shared a morning full of motivating new exercises together during a physical exercise session at the school Jan. 22.
The unit's relationship with the school began more than five years ago, and was renewed at the start of the 2013-2014 school year with Failauga taking the role as lead liaison following two years of being one of the most committed volunteers in the program.
"It's important to do things this because it creates a fun and positive environment for the kids to stay physically fit and gives them the hope and motivation to push themselves to do things they've never done before," he said. "My favorite part is seeing students laugh, while also showing discipline as I lead the physical education sessions."
He and Scott often lead more than five hours worth of different daily PT sessions each week to the school's 600 students.
Failauga said it's a mix of the students' usual exercises and some Army exercises that he uses cadence-style counting for so they experience a little of what PT in the Army is like.
He said, "I like seeing them have fun, especially when they say, 'You Army Soldiers are strong. I want to be in the Army when I grow up too!'"
The physical education partnership is just part of the 8th STB's relationship with the school, which also includes assisting in school projects and serving as mentors in community and tutoring programs.
It's a partnership that Webling principal, Sherrylyn Yamada, said, "Builds a great relationship between the Soldiers, the unit, the Army, our kids, the school and the outside community."

I'am searching for a plugin that would let me have a wishlist for every author on my weblog.
I don't like the idea of using a third-part service. I would like the authors to write their wishlists into the weblog. I've found the MasterWish plugin, the AmazonWishlist plugin, but no standalone plugin.
Has someone come across something like that ?
Thanks in advance :)

"The run with Gaga over the last two tours has been incredibly successful, and this one is shaping up no differently," Arthur Fogel, chairman of the company's global touring division, producers of Gaga's forthcoming artRave: The ARTPOP Ball tour, told Billboard's Ray Waddell. Fogel added that the 29 North American shows currently on sale have grossed $26 million in ticket revenue, with 80 percent of all tickets for North America and Europe dates already sold. »Read Full Article(2)

Bradley Willing To Go Toe To Toe With Marquez To Win
By Ryan Burton
Reigning WBO welterweight champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley waged a memorable war with tough Siberian contender Ruslan Provodnikov this past March in Carson, CA. Bradley stood his ground and traded with the powerful puncher, getting hurt on several occasions throughout the fight. The Southern California based fighter showed tremendous heart in withstanding the assault and ended up coming out on top in one of the leading "Fight of the Year" candidates.
The soon to be 30-year-old fighter is now scheduled to face Mexican icon Juan Manuel Marquez on October 12th in Las Vegas, NV. On the most recent edition of BoxingScene Radio, Bradley told us that he thinks that we are in for another war when he steps in the ring with Marquez.
"You know what, I think that this fight is going to end up that way. I am willing to do whatever it takes to win this fight. If I need to go toe to toe that's what I will do. I know Marquez likes to engage. He's a dog in there and I am willing to weather the storm to get the win," Bradley revealed.
Eyebrows were raised when Bradley turned down a rematch against former 8 division champion Manny Pacquiao. Bradley created plenty of new opportunities after his gritty performance against Provodnikov set the boxing world abuzz this spring. He said that a Pacquiao rematch wasn't the only lucrative option available to him.
"It was really easy man (to fight Marquez instead of Pacquiao). I have already been down that road, especially after the Provodnikov fight. A new door opened. The lights are brighter on my end after like you said, a 'Fight of the Year candidate'," Bradley told BoxingScene Radio.
Bradley did however say that he does want a rematch with the Filipino superstar and that part of his reasoning for facing Marquez is that the aging Mexican fighter probably won't be in the sport for too much longer. He wants to add Marquez's name to his ledger and then will look at facing Pacquiao in the near future.
"Pacquiao and I definitely will have to get back in the ring sooner or later but I wanted this fight to add to my legacy before Marquez leaves the game. He is almost 40 years old and may not have much time left. He is motivated. He wants to be the first Mexican fighter to win titles in 5 different weight classes. He's hungry and I am hungry. It is going to be one hell of a fight," Bradley stated.

All Tim needs to do is to look good and keep those judges watching his sleek moves and don't get hit. Pretty much a sure win for Timmy!Comment by kings14 on 07-26-2013
Going to war with Marquez doesn't seem advisable. Marquez is way too good of a counter puncher to trade with, even at this age he still counters off with unbelievable effectiveness. Provodnikov caught him with big shots in the exchange,…Comment by Tay Roc on 07-25-2013
We all know this is going to be a technical fight. The more effective technician is going to take it. I don't think either will be knocked out (maybe knocked down). It's age vs. shot fighter. Which ever one shows…Comment by Rome-By-Ko on 07-25-2013

Welcome 2016!!
As you can see I am still in Colorado (currently snowing and in the teens) and still dreaming of Oregon and its waterways, bridges, moss covered trees, and yes the rain.. I am looking forward to a possible trip back to Oregon later this year for at least a week.
I have worked with and enjoyed communicating with a number of great volunteers in both Colorado and Oregon and consider them my friends and FAG family. With that in mind this year has also brought me a few nasty volunteers that I have had to have FAG block from emailing me. Please if you are one of these move on no communication is required and leaves more time for me to help the ones that need and appreciate my help. Also, I don't believe I need help on how to load memorials – after over 50,000 memorials managed I think I have it down.
I enjoy helping people with finding and linking their families – investigating is in my blood. I also enjoy filling photo requests as you can tell by my over 2,500 currently taken. So if you need my help please let me know but please be considerate on the number asked at a time so I can help others who need my help. Also, if I tell you the grave is unmarked or the loved one was never buried at the cemetery, this was only brought to your attention after asking at least two people in the office and checking out the site myself to insure the information is accurate. I find I have a great working relationship with all the cemeteries I currently work with.
Transfers! If the name is Bolejack, Bolerjack, Pomeroy, Campbell, Deboard, Dickey, Hodges, Weddle, Francis, Braning, or Robinson – don't bother asking. Or if I put a flower " Family" – please don't ask it just takes time away from what I am currently doing. With that said – I don't believe in hording other volunteers family members. Sometimes it might take me a few days to answer but I do try and answer as quickly as possible. I also will not transfer when you have a proven history of poor updating and editing memorials skills. I believe that the loved one and their family members deserve someone that is prepared to take care of them.
Outside of FAG I am the proud grandmother of twin granddaughters and three grandsons. And if they don't keep me busy enough I have two twin nephews and their brother that stop by to spread joy and the occasional cold.

I reviewed your request for edit of Charles Sheehy's place of death. The newspaper obituary says he lived in Aspen but died in "Colorado General Hospital in Denver". After a quick Google search I found "Denver General Hospital" in Denver, Denver, Colorado, USA. I wanted to make sure you were certain he died in Aspen before I made the change.
Thank you for all of your help!

Thank you for your work locating and documenting the grave of William Sheehy and family. I have given you credit in their bio's for providing their plot numbers. I was surprised to see 4 names on 1 stone!

You write: I received a edit request to link Mary to Joseph Ray Massey but you already have them linked.
I question this link however because Joseph was 30 years older than Mary. Do you think this link is accurate?
The husband must have been sent thru the edit feature. You're right. 30 years is quite an age spread. That is a great feature if only it had the age of the person you are editing so that you could see it from the edit page. I removed Joseph Ray Massey as spouse. I will try to find the correct Ray.

Denver; R.W. Houghton, photo
Good morning, I am a Vermont Civil War buff, and am working on a project to identify the last resting places of many of our "old soldiers" that had ties to Vt.From a F.A.G. memorial page I see you have contributed a photo to someone whose name of Houghton is inscribed on a lovely monument. Do you have a foot stone photo, or any inscription that states this Houghton is Ruthven W. Houghton? He is one of the soldiers I referred to.. If I can get documentation that it is, I would like to ask you if I could use it for the Vt. C.W. site. ( www.vermontcivilwar.org)
You would receive credit for this.
Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks so much for your time in finding info on her about her cremation. Don't know how you found that out but this info will be very helpful for me in updating her Find A Grave and attatching her spouse and parents and children. If you have any more info on her please contact me. Thanks for all you do for others. I love your bio! Have a great rest of your summer.
