Tua vs. Ortiz in Play; Parker Eyes Bout Before Botha
By Liam Napier
Joseph Parker's fight with Francois Botha has been placed in jeopardy, with the Kiwi heavyweight set to step into the ring just weeks before the biggest test of his professional career.
Details are yet to be finalised, but Sunday News understands Parker, who is in the middle of a training camp with Kevin Barry in Las Vegas, will take on a yet-to-be-confirmed opponent in Burbank, California, on May 16 in what is expected to be an eight-round fight.
Parker is scheduled to go toe-to-toe with Botha on June 13 and Duco Events promoter Dean Lonergan acknowledged there were major risks taking blows under a month before the 21-year-old takes on the South African veteran in Auckland.
"There are always risks," Lonergan said. "You're in the heavyweight division. If someone lands a punch right on the chin there's a chance you'll go down.
"We think the benefits outweigh the risks."
Lonergan admitted if Parker suffered an unlikely knockout the Botha fight may not go ahead.
"We'd have to reassess it after that," he said. "It is a possibility but it's not something that enters our mind simply because we have total faith in Joseph and Kevin."
By mid-May, Parker will have spent a month in Vegas training three times a day - living, eating and breathing boxing.
"We're in the middle of tracking down an opponent. We want someone who can mimic Botha. They've got to be durable, tough and come forward," Lonergan said.
"We need to find out if what Joseph is learning with Kevin is being taken on board. If Joseph can't implement what's required in the first fight then it's hard to think he'll pick up the strategy against Botha."
While in California, Lonergan and business partner David Higgins will also attempt to convince undefeated Cuban Luis Ortiz to renege on his request for $200,000 to fight David Tua.
Last week Sunday News revealed Miami-based Ortiz had agreed to fight Tua only to demand his purse was doubled.
The Tua-Ortiz match-up is now in the balance, with Lonergan indicating Duco was not willing to pay $200,000.
"His trainer, manager and promoter all want the fight to happen - it's just a case of us sitting down and trying to get it over the line."

Attics can be a huge energy drain if they are not insulated sufficiently. We'll leave the
heavy lifting for next weekend, but for now look for uneven insulation, base sports, water damage, and anything else that looks out of place.
For even better results, look up your area's recommended R-value and determine if you are using the optimal type of insulation. The R-value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry. The ideal R-value will be different based on your geography.
Also, be sure to use proper safety precautions! You'll need gloves and a mask to go up there because fiberglass insulation can be very harmful.

I have a leg pain that keeps popping up. I play a lot of tennis and I've never had an issue with this area of my leg. Not sure what I'm doing when I run to hurt this area. Anyway, I can't tell if it's a groin muscle or a thigh muscle? Posting a pic because that's easier than trying to describe the area. The white line is where the discomfort is. Any ideas on what I'm doing to cause this pain and how to avoid further injury or strength the area? Thanks!!

Animal lovers from around the globe have been following the story of Patrick, the year old pit bull starved and abused. He was within hours of death when found.
Patrick's owner was unknown at the time, and the there was a tremendous outcry to find the person responsible for the brutalization of this pup, and bring them to justice.
Kisha Curtis was identified and arrested about week later. It might have happened sooner, had the authorities listened to Mark Ortman, 42, who named her as a suspect as soon as he became aware of Patrick.
Read more about the Kisha Curtis, Mark Ortman connection, and watch the video of the Patrick Miracle after the jump.
UPDATE: May 8, 2011 here.
Patrick the pit bull was discovered the night of March 16, 2011 by maintenance workers Enson and his boss, Miguel. Their last names are not being made public at this time.
The two men were gathering trash from a garbage chute when Enson saw a plastic bag move—-fearing it was a newborn being thrown away, he opened the bag and discovered the emaciated little pit bull close to death. He notified his supervisor Miguel, who in turn call animal control. They contacted Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park.
Patrick was rushed to the 24-hour Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, N.J. After surviving the night, Patrick was given his name on March 17, 2011—St. Patrick's day.
Patrick's story caused world wide outrage, and people were demanding the owner be found and held accountable. A $2000.00 reward was immediately offered for the arrest of the owner.
Mark Ortman became aware of Patrick's story a day or two later. Ortman, who has worked security at Garden Spires for fifteen years, and has a 14 year old son, suspected Patrick may have been the dog he had been contacted about twice, two months prior to the pup being thrown down the garbage chute.
He checked, double checked and realized the dog belonged to Kisha Curtis. The apartment manager had contacted Mark twice about residents complaining about a dog barking. He, in turn, interacted with Curtis on both occasions, after finding Patrick tied to a rail.
Both times the dog appeared healthy, had food and water, wagged his tail and was friendly. There were no signs of abuse at that time, and Kisha was told to keep the animal in her apartment.
Kisha's excuse for leaving the dog out was he had nipped her hand while feeding him.
Mr. Ortman notified the proper authorities about his belief that Curtis was the dog's owner but they apparently didn't pay attention for almost a week.
Once they did, Mark Ortman phoned Ms. Curtis and lured her out of her apartment—-when she walked off the elevator, she was taken into custody. Mark was there, still on the phone with her.
She was charged with animal cruelty and those charges were later upgraded to torture.
The next thing Mark knew, he found himself being demonized by blogs and other news outlets. They were reporting he came forward for the reward. Not so, folks.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark this afternoon. His focus is, and has been on Patrick, and the two men, Enson and Miguel that rescued him. His gut instinct told him this was the same dog he had seen just a couple of months ago, and hoped he was wrong. He reiterated there were no signs of abuse, and that he also told Ms. Curtis that if the dog was a problem, she could / should surrender him for adoption. He even told her who to contact.
He emphatically stated that had he noticed a hint of abuse, he would have notified animal control instantly.
As stories go, we all know the more salacious, the more outrage. We, as in the universal we, tend to demonize and attack people because it makes us feel better. People seldom take into account how gossip and rumors can affect a person's reputation and life.
Mark has been called names and accused of waiting for a reward, when the fact is, he wasn't aware of one. Not only that, weeks later, he has not applied for the reward, and stated were it to magically appear, he would be making donations.
Ironically, his concern was that Kisha Curtis be found and taken into custody before an outraged animal owner physically harmed her. Having read Patrick's story and the comments left by angry people, he felt it was only a matter of time before she was found and possibly attacked. He stated violence helps so one, and harming Curtis will not change Patrick's story one bit.
He believes in the judicial system and wants to see Kisha brought to justice, the legal way. He has an excellent point, and understands people need to vent their frustration and anger.
Mark was deeply saddened when he saw himself being referred to as a "money grubbing, greedy, uncaring soul driven only by $2000 dollar reward."
You and I would be, too. He has been misquoted several times and those that think he was after the money are very, very wrong. If offered, would he take it? Probably, then make a donation to animal welfare. Is he, or was he expecting a reward? A simple "hell no" should suffice.
I'm not sure how the reward story got out of hand, but it did. It appears to me that some don't understand that while a reward is a good motivator, many people do the right thing for the right reason, not just the money. Mark Ortman stepped up to the plate as soon as he became aware of the situation.
Let's give credit where it's due, not only to Mark Ortman, who helped in the apprehension of Kisha Curtis, but also Enson and Miguel, the rescuers of this poor dog.
Of course we're also grateful to all those that work to save not only our pets, but others as well.
Mark suggests that rather than wasting energy on anger toward Kisha, that people donate their time, money, food or blankets to their local animal shelters. Let the law take care of the woman that abused and starved Patrick.
He is not now, nor has he ever, sought his "fifteen minutes" of the spotlight.
I say let's quit second guessing the man and his motives, and be grateful he shared his information.
What say you about Mark Ortman, the man that helped in the arrest of the notorious animal abuser, Kisha Curtis? Shouldn't we not only applaud his efforts, but those of Enson and Miguel, too?
Please leave your thoughts in the comment section beneath the video—-and remember, it takes no effort to be kind, to people or animals.

Zephyrs fall, 4-3
Published: Friday, August 8, 2014 at 10:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 8, 2014 at 10:05 a.m.
Memphis, Tennessee — Memphis starter Tim Cooney pitched six innings and earned his league leading 11th win as the Redbirds held off the visiting New Orleans Zephyrs 4-3 in game one of a five game set.
The Z's opened the game with a double from Austin Wates. He scored on the two run home run from Mark Canha.
Memphis answered with three runs in the second inning off of starter Andrew Heaney (4-4). Pete Kozma picked up a RBI double followed by a two out two run single from Tommy Pham.
The Birds added an unearned run in the fourth inning. The Z's loaded the bases in the seventh inning and managed to score a run to slice the lead to 4-3. The Memphis bullpen retired the final nine batters and Eric Fornataro earned his 12th save.
The Z's trail first place Nashville by 3 ½ games and have 25 games to play. The trip continues in Memphis tonight.

On Edge, Again
By MAX PAGE
Published: October 21, 2001
NEW YORK is still the city that never sleeps. Fear will do that.
Fear of death borne in the air: a jet, a microbe. In Lower Manhattan, the dust has been scrubbed away. Night and day trucks rumble off with more rubble. But the fear persists: there are letters to open, cross-country trips to take. The fear is a psychic anthrax, an almost invisible powder creeping under the windowsills of thought, sifting into the corners of each mind.
Fear and this city are no strangers. History reminds us that New York has burned and been occupied by soldiers. It has been besieged by epidemics and riots. Our popular culture has been in dress rehearsal for the city's destruction for decades: in books, at the movies, in computer games, although no amount of history, no number of rehearsals, could prepare New Yorkers for Sept. 11 and the days of grief and worry that followed.
It was the most perfect and horrific demolition job. Two quarter-mile-tall towers exploding, then imploding, one-acre floors falling through the next one, 200 times over.
The survivors, blanketed in the gray mist of urban disaster, headed north and east. The attacks' human spores bearing their stories, their fear, throughout the city.
That unleashed energy was finally absorbed by each resident here, metastasizing into a malaise that has lingered as the country has gone to war and the specter of bioterrorism has grown.
Virginia Woolf wrote in ''A Room of One's Own'' that after World War I, it was not possible to hum poetry. On the surface, lively lunches at Oxbridge proceeded as before the war. But the ''humming noise, not articulate, but musical, exciting'' was gone. The war had ''destroyed illusion and put truth in its place.''
Many suggest that such is the case with Sept. 11: our world has changed. A controlled fear -- a constant hum of worry, rather than poetry -- seems part of this new world, this new New York. But, after the initial silence, then the muted tones, the city is still somehow humming. Perhaps, Sept. 11 has not created a new city, but in many respects ferried us back to an older, more visceral New York, where it was understood that the city was at risk. And while today the rest of the country is on edge, New York is even more so. New Yorkers understand again that their city is a target.
To 19th-century New Yorkers, who may have been told stories of the city's burning during the seven-year British occupation in the Revolutionary War, or who lost family members to the cholera epidemics of the 1830's, who perhaps watched the burning of much of Lower Manhattan in 1835, or who later saw rioting mobs rage through the city in 1863, the notion that the city was forever was absurd.
Even the city of the 1940's and 1950's was not immune to fears of sudden catastrophe, the distinct possibility of nuclear attack. Sept. 11 bombed us back to the atomic age, when a roar in the sky could instantly evict daydreams from New Yorkers' minds and substitute apocalyptic visions.
Fear and New York are words that have often gone together. Usually, it has been the rest of the country fearing New York, rather than New Yorkers fearing their city. New York, ascending to dominance by the early 19th century, became the most feared city of all. In New York, Americans saw the poor, the immigrants, people of all races. In New York, crowding, crime, disease and radicalism were not only found but nurtured and propagated.
AMERICAN movies and television, books and newspapers have projected images of urban fear for more than a century. Urban catastrophe movies and novels, paintings and comic books -- many created by New Yorkers themselves -- have used New York to try to reveal the dangers of the American city.
American popular culture has returned to the theme of New York's destruction time and again, almost as a leitmotif that resonates with some of the most longstanding themes in American history: the ambivalence toward cities, the troubled reaction to immigrants and racial diversity, fear of technology's impact, and the tensions between natural and humanmade disasters.
In a nation as religious as the United States, with a strong apocalyptic strain in its popular culture, it is not surprising to find so many examples of catastrophe. But more regularly than any other, New York -- not only our largest city but ''the city'' of platonic ideal -- has repeatedly met its death by art.
In moments of social upheaval, visions of how New York would be demolished, blown up, swallowed by the sea, or toppled by monsters have proliferated in films and in science fiction novels, as well as in photography, painting and the graphic arts.
In Joaquin Miller's 1886 novel, ''Destruction of Gotham,'' a great fire engulfs the city as lower-class mobs attack the homes and stores of the wealthy. Only when Manhattan had ''burned and burned and burned to the very bed-rock'' was the apocalypse complete.
Jacob Riis, the photographic chronicler of the slums of the Lower East Side, encapsulated the fears of many Americans in 1890 with his metaphors of the waves of radical immigrants flooding onto the beaches of Brooklyn in his landmark book, ''How the Other Half Lives.''

Recent Inflatable Kayak Reviews
Sea Eagle Sport 370
Very good for flat water, but challenging for fishing. I bought this kayak for fishing at my local reservoir. Bought it used on Craigslist and got a great deal, but the price new is still very reasonable. It's convenient to not need a trailer or car top carrier to haul around and it's reasonably light for a grown man. Might be a struggle to carry if you're on the smaller side, but it's a big kayak. I had my doubts about inflatables before I did my research, but this is definitely not a pool toy. Full review
BIC Sport YAKKAir Lite 1
After two years of light use, one of the seams in the inflatable floorboard gave way, making the floorboard unusable. I was able to fashion a rigid floorboard out of rigid insulation paneling, and the boat actually tracks better now than it did with the inflatable floorboard. But the failure of that part makes me doubt the quality of all the other parts. Full review
Sea Eagle Explorer 380x Pro Package
Extremely versatile, portable, easy to use "water SUV" that is perfect for any type of adventure one could imagine. This review is for the Sea Eagle Explorer 380X Pro package. The major difference between Pro and Deluxe is the seats: I like Pro seats much better but for more information look it up at the manufacturer website. I've been using this kayak for three seasons now and the fourth season is approaching. The quality of the kayak itself is fairly good: the body/hull is intact and holds up… Full review
Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition Kayak
This is the gold standard for inflatable folding kayaks. The Expedition is so portable I have taken it on airplanes as an ordinary checked bag. On the water, this recreational kayak handles well and has way more glide per stroke than the smaller models from the same manufacturer. The materials are tough and well-made. I am delighted with my Expedition. I have used it for more than four years and it is still going strong. The boat is very well-constructed of tough materials. The outer hull shows… Full review
Advanced Elements Lagoon1
This inflatable folding kayak is portable on buses and inside SmartCars and by small people. A very dependable recreational kayak, well-made with a terrific warranty. Available from the manufacturer, some stores, and West Marine stores and website. The Lagoon is my favourite kayak of the several different boats I own. I've used an older version of the Lagoon for eight years without it failing. It's still a reliable, convenient recreational kayak. Here's a photo of me using it for the first time,… Full review
Tributary Tomcat Tandem
Overall a good inflatable kayak and fun to use. I like the length of this kayak—plenty of leg space for both people. I don't like the valve covers very well. I prefer the kind on the NRS Outlaw II. I also prefer the seat valves on the Outlaw II over the ones on the Tomcat. This is a fun kayak and is good in both calm and white water. I don't like how water catches in the front and the back of the self bailer when you are done and want to dry it out. When I get home I have to unroll it and let… Full review
Sea Eagle Sport 370
The Sea Eagle 370 is everything I hoped it would be, and more. The Sea Eagle 370 is everything I hoped it would be, and more. This inflatable kayak is what I'll call quality with value. I wanted to get something to make my camping trips with my daughters more fun and appealing to them. Since they vary in age range, hiking (especially longer ones) aren't always ideal. So I targeted something to play on the water with, and I researched a LOT before deciding upon the Sea Eagle 370. I am very… Full review
Innova Kayaks K2
Great raft for novice kayaking. It's inflatable so it can fit in compact vehicles, yet inflates big enough for two or more pupils (max 4 adults). Tight squeeze. It still has space for camping gear with two adults. I started kayaking down the Kern River in California. Not a fast river, great for novice kayaking very enjoyable for beginners. Great exercise and workout. Best part it is inflatable and can be carried almost anywhere and still light enough to maneuver by just one person. Pricey, but I… Full review
Tributary Tomcat Tandem
Very durable yet maneuverable inflatable. Plenty of lounging room for a float and bloat but also cargo space for multi-day whitewater adventures. When we are going to paddle a river for the first time for up to ten days this is our go-to boat. If we had to portage, we could. If we need a second cooler, it fits. If we crash through craziness, she keeps on floating! When properly rigged the seats are pure luxury. Stability is off the charts, we often fish standing up even while in swift water. On… Full review

Western Wisconsin's 400 State Trail draws thousands of cyclists
After Kathy De Nure tumbled down some stairs and broke her arm a decade ago, she was reluctant to get back on her bicycle.
"I'm a musician, and I didn't want to risk any further damage," said De Nure, who represents Wonewoc on the board of the Friends of the 400 State Trail, a 22-mile-long bicycle route that runs along the scenic and free-flowing Baraboo River in Juneau and Sauk counties. For two years, she reluctantly went without riding.
"I couldn't stand not getting out on a bike," she said. So De Nure traded in her conventional, two-wheeled cycle for a more stable, low-riding three-wheeled Sun trike and ever since has been happily cruising the former rail line-turned hiking/cycling path that is just blocks from her home in Wonewoc.
She's not alone. Each year, as many as 40,000 cyclists take a spin on this relatively flat trail of crushed limestone on the old Chicago & Northwestern Railroad line. The trail's depot and starting point is in Reedsburg. It then runs through La Valle, Wonewoc and Union Center before ending in Elroy. Each of the towns is four to seven miles from the next.
In Elroy, the 400 joins the Elroy-Sparta State Trail, which runs 32 miles and travels through several tunnels. That trail connects with the La Crosse River State Trail at Sparta, which goes for an additional 22 miles. The last route in the link is the Great River State Trail, which is 24 miles long and ends near Trempealeau.
All together, these trails total 100 miles.
And they all have different personalities, De Nure said. But she is admittedly biased toward the 400, which she calls the "loveliest bike trail in the state" as it courses through valleys and forests, by wetlands, sandstone outcroppings, wildflowers, farm fields and natural areas, to say nothing of the Baraboo River — which it crosses 11 times.
Others agree. Several years ago, National Geographic called it Wisconsin's "prettiest cycling route."
For nearly 30 years — from 1935 to 1963 — Chicago & Northwestern passenger trains ran from Chicago to the Twin Cities on this route, traveling an average speed of more than 60 mph. It was known as the 400 because it took 400 minutes to complete its journey. The last run was on July 23, 1963.
Two years later, the state bought the right of way for $12,000. But not much happened for the next few decades, De Nure said.
"I hate to use the word 'abandoned,' but it was dormant for quite a while and the tracks were taken out," she said.
The 400 trail finally opened in 1993. De Nure, who began riding a bike as a youngster in Columbus, credits the state Rails to Trails program and retired state Department of Natural Resources ranger Ron Nelson, who managed Wildcat Mountain State Park in the 1990s, for building the 400 route. Nelson was also in charge of the Elroy to Sparta trail, which was developed in 1967.
"He got things going and recruited me to be a member of the Friends of the 400 State Trail group," she said. "Funny thing, I didn't ride my bike much as an adult until that trail went in. Now, I'm out there a couple of times a week. It truly is a treasure. It is a wonderful way to get out in nature."
She said she usually rides the middle sections of the 10- to 12-foot-wide path, from either Wonewoc to La Valle or from Wonewoc to Union Center and back.
"That makes a great morning or afternoon outing," said De Nure, who sometimes walks on the trail. Her husband, Bill, is also a member of the friends group. He rides a two-wheeled bike.
"I also like to get off my trike and look at things en route," she said. "The school here has developed an outdoor learning center off the trail, too. There is always something different to see, including lots of ducks and geese. I like to watch the canoers and kayakers on the river, too."
She said all of the dams on the Baraboo have been removed in recent years, making it a popular stream for paddling and overnight camping. Most of the communities on the trail have campsites, some of which are free, she said.
"One of the great things about the 400 is how the communities are spread out with not that much distance between each of them," she said. "And with only a 2% grade, it's ideal for riding with little kids or even seniors. There are lots of places to stop at a shelter or to grab a bite to eat."
Getting there: Reedsburg is roughly two hours west of Milwaukee via I-94 and Highway 23.
More information: For more information on the 400 State Trail, bike rentals, lodging, restaurants and other things to do in the area, call (608) 337-4775 or see 400statetrail.org. The headquarters address is 240 Railroad St., Reedsburg.
In Wonewoc, Beyond Boundaries rents bikes, as well as canoes and kayaks for paddling the Baraboo River. See goingfarbeyond.com.
The trail is also popular with geocaching enthusiasts. See geocaching.comfor cache locations.

TCR Friday Notes
A somewhat-weekly tour of Cubs' related links...
- Reader Virginia Phil spotted that infielder Justin Sellers was now with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A quick peak at Baseball America shows that he was dealt for a player to be named later a few weeks back. Sellers along with Richie Robnett were acquired for Michael "2.35 ERA, Hasn't walked a guy in 7.2 IP" Wuertz over the offseason (I'll work on the nickname).
- Some video and amateur scouting of Cubs' prospects down in Peoria including Josh Vitters and Ryan Flaherty at The Hardball Times courtesy of Colin Wyers.
- Harry at Cubs F/x graphs the loss of velocity over the last few seasons by Rich Harden.
- Reader "DougDascenzo" has started a petition to stop the "Luna Jingle" from playing at Wrigley Field. I had no idea what any of this was until the last 5 minutes of Google research, but apparently it's becoming quite the controversy. I'm all for grassroots movements, so go sign the petition and then donate $250,000 to TCR so we can buy a part of the Cubs. You'll be a part of history.
- Speaking of controversy...there's the Milton Bradley drama. First, he goes to Lou and says he's not 100% and Lou says he won't play him until he is 100%. As reader "Real Neal" pointed out, Lou didn't have much problems playing Alfonso Soriano over parts of the last two years(or Rich Harden for that matter), so that don't smell right . That being said, Milton's injury looks like it has more of a chance of getting worse than Soriano's did with more playing time, so maybe there is something there. And to Soriano's credit he seemed to go all out on the leg, just with a limp while Bradley was clearly struggling to move on Wednesday night. Plus Lou may still be peeved that Bradley didn't just take the 2-day suspension and get it all over it. Also, part of that conversation was urging Milton to talk to the media.
So Milton then calls Carrie Muskat over and tells her that he doesn't want to talk to media. Hey, mission accomplished. Part of the story says the Cubs' media relation director Peter Chase encouraged him to talk to the media which I guess went something like this.
PC: Hey Milton, your not doing yourselves any favors by not talking to the press. They'll just turn the fans against you.
MB: But they ask really dumb questions and Sullivan smells funny. Plus they have a vendetta against me.
PC: Alright, go talk to Carrie Muskat. She'll reprint everything verbatim, walk your dog for you and babysit your kids later. She won't even mention the 1-23 streak your on.
MB: That's a she? Shit. Okay.
The rest of the beat writers, particularly Gordon Wittenmyer, take offense to the whole thing and there's still 5-6 months left of this season and 2-3 years on Bradley's contract and I'm already over the drama. We knew he wasn't going to play 162 games, I myself was hoping for 120-140, so put the guy on the DL already. He already said he's not close to being back and the Cubs need to make sure that third year option doesn't kick in automatically.
Enjoy the weekend!
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Fight the Power! (holds fist in the air)
Re: TCR Friday Notes
If Muskat reads TCR (or any other Cubs blogs for that matter), she 1. hasn't learned anything about sports writing from it, and 2. either has absurdly thick skin or is on a truck load of anti-depressants.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Musket or someone who seemed like they may have been pretending to be her posted a couple years ago when we were all calling her 'Muskrat'.
She seems like a generally nice person, so the vitrol that gets thrown around here may be a turn-off for her.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
She might be nice person, but she comes of as extremely condescending and snarky in her mailbags. She'd fit in nicely here.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Hah that's funny. I always thought she came off as a person who can barely grasp the fundamentals of her profession in her mailbags. She gives some stupid fucking answers to some stupid fucking questions, but she is the one picking the questions...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The Cubs better be paying for the entire payroll with that jingle money. That's pure, concentrated obnoxious.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Here's a link to an article from Crain's Chicago Business about the Luna jingle:
Mattew Wszolek, the Cubs marketing director, somehow compares it to playing "Rubberband Man" every time Carlos Marmol comes into the game. Is he serious?
This guy is a completely disingenuous slimeball with the way he's trying to spin this and make it sound like some sort of fun tradition at Wrigley.
If anyone knows how to obtain his email address, or even just a generic Cubs email address that he might get, I'd love to send a formal complaint somewhere, since he thinks it's ok because only "the media and bloggers" have complained so far (never mind the fact they're the only ones with a voice to complain since the Cubs' website doesn't list his email address).
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Re: TCR Friday Notes
1. Sports journalists can eat a scrotum. Preferably not mine. Get over your fucking selves.
2. I am always in favor of Carrie Mustache jokes. That one was funny.
3. "First, he goes to Lou and says he's not 100% and Lou says he won't play him until he is 100%. As reader "Real Neal" pointed out, Lou didn't have much problems playing Alfonso Soriano over parts of the last two years, so that don't smell right..."
Bradley goes out there an plays while still injured. Clearly he's favoring the injury and/or 'dogging' it. Lou says, "You're not playing until your 100%"...ie "You play like shit when you're not 100%". I don't really see that as a contradiction with his handling of Soriano. Bradley is in no way helping the team by playing (in the field or with the bad).
4. The enemy is syphilis.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Isn't a groin injury the thing that put Nomar down back several years ago? Clearly his injury was a different intensity, but still, it can't feel good.
Either way, I think I'm willing to give Bradley the benefit of the doubt because 1. I think people are allowed to screw up and be given a fresh start, and 2. he played pretty hard in the Astros series and didn't "dog it". There's what? Over 130 games left this year? It's a long season, fellas, let's see Bradley bust out of this slump before we jump on the "that's just Bradley being Bradley" bandwagon.
And I also don't mind him taking 3rd-pitch strikes sometimes. At least he makes opposing pitchers throw strikes: That's better than what some of these batters are doing.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I liked Wuertz... sniff.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Isn't a groin injury the thing that put Nomar down back several years ago?
Nomar tore the groin muscles off their attachment to the pelvis and they decided to surgically clean up the tissues (not often done except in really bad tears) whereas Bradley's injury is in the muscles further distal in the upper thigh and probably is a grade 1 injury. They are graded in a 1-3 scale, grade 1 means tissue injury without stretch. Grade 2 is with stretch but not separation. Grade 3 tear with a gap/separation. Groin strain means injury to the adductor muscles to be medically accurate. There are 3 including adductor longus, brevis and magnus.
These are easy to re-injure and even grade one injuries can take 2-6 weeks to fully recover. The concerns and treatment are nearly identical to a pulled quadriceps or hamstring or calf (gastrocnemius) except for the differences related to the anatomic region. So in that context we've discussed this before wrt Soriano quite a bit (hamstrings, calf and quad).
Re: The concerns and treatment
"The concerns and treatment are nearly identical to a pulled quadriceps or hamstring"
He's already used those two as excuses to sit out this year.
quadriceps - Feb 26 - Mar 4
hamstring - Mar 6 - ?
Re: The concerns and treatment
The Cubs played meaningful games in Feb and March?
Who the hell cares if someone sat out some games in spring training?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
"The concerns and treatment are nearly identical to a pulled quadriceps or hamstring or calf (gastrocnemius) except for the differences related to the anatomic region."
Another head-scratcher for WTF DID THEY NOT DL HIM?!
It is so early in the season. What possible benefit does he give to the team looking at strike three every AB?
And, as MANNY indicated, according to CUBSTER'S post, can't he do more potential damage swinging at 95mph heaters?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I think they are either:
1. Scared if they put him on the DL, he will throw a fit that they are gipping him out of the option year being guarnteed.
2. They honestly feel that a hobbled Milton Bradley is a better pinch hitter than anyone down on the farm.
3. Or most sinister, they reliaze that they made one big ass mistake by signing him and hope that in one of pinch hitting apperences he finishes the job on the pulled groin muscle causing him to go on the DL long enough to unguarntee the 3rd year.
4. Either Jimbo or Lou are in our pre-season contest and have someone rather than Bradley as their first DL casulity and want to win enough to keep him active until somebody else goes on the DL, there by screwing over the pluraty of respondents who picked Bradley. They also likely had Shark as the first call to the farm candidate, which also explains the head scratching Waste 3.5 million to dump on effective (so far) reliever to call up our best SP prospect who needs to develop a 3rd pitch in AAA move.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I have been a proponent of Hendry's trades and FA/Manager signings, cir. 2007/2008 - but really, after reading AZ PHIL regularly, and this latest Bradley groin bullshit - the organization just does not seem to know what they are doing with regard to the ins and outs of roster management. It is really odd seeing as that the Cubs are perhaps the third most popular team in baseball, and their payroll is perhaps 4th.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Who's the 2nd most popular team in baseball?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Cubs are third in payroll this year behind NY and NY
Re: TCR Friday Notes
can't he do more potential damage swinging at 95mph heaters?
Nomar's injury was due to slipping about 2-3 steps out of the batters box as he accelerates after a swing. I recall it as an acute event and he just crumpled in obvious pain. I think that might be the most problematic area to worry about although it probably hurts to swing and miss (his expertise seems to be more in taking called strikes just out of the strike zone). Also rounding 2nd/3rd base could be an issue if he ever got that far...hasn't happened often enough to worry about that yet.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
My memory was that it happened in the batter's box as he was driving to take his first step.
If Mia Hamm was my wife, I would probably be on the DL constant with groin pulls as well. Can't really blame the guy.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I don't remember Soriano going 100%. I know he stopped stealing bases, and I think I recall him turning some doubles into singles and I remember Jacque busting his but to cover for him when Jacque was in center.
*edit - dur.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
stream of consciousness...Bradley is a rare & delicate flower...Gallagher sent to Sacramento by the A's; they're due in Des Moines in about a month - if he's still there will be interesting to see if he can encore a game I saw him pitch in our ballpark just about a year ago; a real gem right before he came up as I recall...about 12 years ago Muskat's brother was our backyard neighbor here in DM; once helped him move in some new furniture - how 'bout that ol' circle of life, huh?

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Rich Hill pitching tonight in Frederick, MD. From Roch Kubatko (an Oriole writer/blogger) yesterday:
If you're curious about seeing Rich Hill on a mound, facing live hitters, in an actual game setting, without palm trees in the distance, you can drive to Harry Grove Stadium tomorrow and check him out.
Hill will oppose the Potomac Nationals at 7 p.m. in his first injury rehab start. The Orioles have him on a 60-65 pitch count. Here's hoping it takes more than one or two innings to reach it.
Hill was the MVP of the Triple-A All-Star Game in 2006. The Orioles would settle for having him occupy a spot in the backend of their rotation.
Over the last two seasons, the Keys have made room in their clubhouse for Miguel Tejada, Chris Ray and Steve Trachsel during rehab stints. And to answer a reader's question from yesterday, a corresponding roster move isn't required when a major league player is added. The Keys will be one over the limit for the one night that Hill pitches.
Hill managed not to throw a single pitch in a game in spring training. This is really his Oriole debut. I expect he'll be wild. If not, then that Dunn-Kranitz medicine really does work.

I wanted Ibanez.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
My wife had a great idea. She isn't a baseball fan but was appalled that a mother and father with the last name of "Bradley" would name their son Milton. She said, "who would do such a thing? No wonder he's angry. Why doesn't he just change his name? He'll feel a lot better."
Most in-game comments have to do with things like uniform fashion and hair styles (Samardzija -- "please tell me that's not a mullet") so this is actually pretty good stuff.
I think that could make a great contest. Milton Bradley's new name.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
That makes their actions even more inexcusable. We should make his parents watch every Cubs playoff game since I was a tot. It's not many. Shouldn't take long.

On Camera Again, After 7 Years; Documentary's Subjects Now Speak Out as Teen-Agers
By GLENN COLLINS
Published: June 24, 1998
Lucy, voluble as always, is at boarding school these days; the pressure to become a Princetonian seems irresistible. Alexis is pretty serious about becoming a marine biologist. And Luis, no longer homeless but charismatic as ever, has left the Latin Kings gang in Milwaukee but will soon star as a gang member onstage in a Victory Memorial Church production.
They are seven years older now, and they're back. That demographically correct band who became America's darlings in 1991 has returned in a second installment of the documentary series that is following the lives of 16 children from age 7 through adulthood. It will be broadcast for 90 minutes as ''14 Up in America'' on Sunday night on Showtime.
''This series has no beginning, middle or end,'' said Phil Joanou, the director. ''I like that the project lacks inherent dramatic structure. It's just life. The drama is in how all these lives will turn out.''
The American series is based, of course, on the groundbreaking British documentary that has tracked 14 English children for the last 35 years as they have segued through school, college, jobs, marriage, children, success, failure, euphoria and agita.
It is ''a unique longitudinal, psychological and social history that defies broad definition,'' said the executive producer of the series, Michael Apted, the English filmmaker who, in 1964, produced the first of the highly praised ''7 Up'' documentaries.
The documentaries have proliferated across the globe: after the American version was filmed in 1990, Mr. Apted set loose a Russian documentary crew that filmed 7-year-olds in Russia. That team has just completed its own version of ''14 Up.'' Subsequently, versions of ''7 Up'' were started in South Africa, Japan and Germany.
Mr. Apted, gray-haired, tweedy and avuncular at 57, first filmed his group of English youngsters when they were 7 and he was 22, then visited them again when they were 14, 21, 28 and 35. The newest installment, ''42 Up,'' will be broadcast on the BBC next month.
The series is ''a mix of instant history, sociology and soap opera,'' Mr. Apted said. ''It's either a great Victorian novel, or a fascinating invasion of people's privacy. It depends on how you look at it.'' The American version is following the master script. Mr. Joanou interviewed more than 20 7-year-old boys and girls from disparate ethnic, racial, economic and social backgrounds in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Lincoln, Neb., and Dublin, Ga.
Six of the children had well-off parents; six were poor, including one, Luis, from a homeless family; the rest had middle-class backgrounds. The group includes children who are Asian, black, Hispanic and white.
In ''7 Up,'' three Manhattan second graders, Lucy, Alexis and Kate, were filmed in the elite precincts of the Nightingale-Bamford School in Manhattan. They wore pressed uniforms and crisp white blouses.
Now, Lucy and Alexis -- who, like the other subjects of ''14 Up,'' are identified only by first names in the documentary and who spoke on the condition that their last names not be published -- were being casual at Sofia, a Madison Avenue pizza hangout in the independent-school zone on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
They have become minor celebrities not only in their schools but also as far away as Paris, ''where someone came up to me and said, 'I've seen you on TV,' '' Lucy said.
Kate, who couldn't get to Sofia but was interviewed later, said, ''A baby sitter I hadn't seen in years called me when she saw it.''
Alexis said, ''When the film comes out, it's sort of a home video, but it's played for the whole world.''
Lucy shook her head and said: ''I see what a spoiled brat I was at age 7. I kept babbling on, and wouldn't let anyone speak.''
Changing Schools, Changing Lives
The girls lost touch with one another as they changed schools through the years. ''When I entered the interview room, it was weird to see Lucy and Alexis again,'' said Kate, 15. ''At first I was expecting them to be 7.''
In the fourth grade Alexis transferred to the Chapin School in Manhattan, which she termed ''intensely competitive.'' Lucy and her parents moved to Long Island, and in the 10th grade she began attending Lawrenceville, the New Jersey boarding school, where she skipped a grade. ''Lawrenceville is totally pro-Princeton, so of course I want to go there,'' she said.
Kate's parents divorced a year ago, and she, her mother and two sisters have moved to Westchester County. Currently Kate, who volunteered in a Manhattan women's shelter when she was 7, is interested in being a social worker.
For Luis, ''right now the church is my life,'' he said. He was originally filmed in Manhattan in Public School 97 on East Houston Street, when he was attending school there while his family lived in a shelter on the Lower East Side. At 7 he had huge, canny eyes and streetwise indomitability; these days he is a rangy ninth grader, a running back on his Milwaukee high school football team, the South Division Cardinals.
His current ambition ''is to be the pastor of a church,'' said Luis, who prefers being called Tony these days. He said of the documentary series: ''It's nice to feel like a movie star for a while. When you're in the ghetto, you're not paid too much attention, and when they did this video, it said they actually cared.''

Hi John.
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. Perception is not reality. What appear to be faults in others may actually be reflections of our own emotional afflictions. I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem. Remember the way people treat us is their karma. The way we react is our own.~ Trulshik Rinpoche

Wondering if this is possible. All of my posts are filed under multiple categories and I was wondering if I could hide certain categories so only the ones I want show under the breadcrumbs nav.
Wondering if this is possible. All of my posts are filed under multiple categories and I was wondering if I could hide certain categories so only the ones I want show under the breadcrumbs nav.
There are no methods built into the plugin to do this. There are ways to extend the plugin to do it, but at the moment I can not recommend their use as there will be a bit of a reorganizing of the options for 4.0 which break all of them (as a side effect, not intentional). The crux of the issue is you end up having to specify the category you want to use on each post. Most forms of doing this require an extra database query, which we are trying to reduce as they are often slow. The other methods require changing of code to add a post id, category id relationship for each new post.
Also note, with the advent of tags and custom taxonomies, there are very few cases where a post should be a member of multiple categories. There should be one "true" root through categories and other attributes are added through tags and custom taxonomies.
If this is for the site you had the question on before, then there are some obvious categories that should actually be tags. Such as:
Coming Soon
In Theaters
On Blu-ray and DVD
The only main categories that should be categories are:
Movie News
Movie Reviews
Game News
Game Reviews
All posts comfortably fit under these four classifications, the four other categories only add additional descriptors to this. Some of which are temporary ("In Theaters", and "Coming Soon" are definitely temporary).
Thanks for all the input, WordPress has changed a lot since we started using it, so I'll def look into changing categories to tags in the future. The one problem that has prevented me from making the change and has kept me using the system we currently use is another plugin called Similar Posts. The plugin works best when set to relate similar posts based off the same tags. If I were to make the change you suggested, then the output of the plugin would be far less accurate and most posts would not share anything in common besides the fact that they were news or reviews. But thanks, will still look into the changes in the future.

tooth brushing help
EJ born September 2010
AW born June 2013
Comments (10)
www.thespinningisland.blogspot.com my blog about my sons journey with autism and me getting through it (:
It's a constant struggle for us. I have tried many strategies, currently we both open wide and say "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" very loud and long, which she thinks is great, it's like a little game of being allowed to yell and yelling in unison with mama. lol. whatever works. Try counting, try letting her brush with you (both you and she hold the brush and guide it (this works with DD, and helps her learn), I do silly songs, I let her play with something in the sink, etc.
My DS wouldn't let me do his teeth for a while either, but we do the "AAAAHHHH", thing too.
I'll ask him to say, "AAAHHHH" and he thinks it's funny and I'll do his bottom teeth. Then ask him again to do his top. At first he would always try to take the brush out of my hands, but now he lets me brush his teeth and I tell him, "it's your turn" and give him the brush. He brushes.
I asked the dentist about using flouride toothpaste and he said to stick with the training toothpaste at this age, since they swallow a majority of it.

Gold! ( . Y . )
My daughter is really struggling with this right now too. I don't have much advice, but I did go out yesterday and buy my daughter bubble gum flavored toothpaste instead of the mint that we were using. Last night it was a little bit easier to brush them. I am hoping for the same result tonight!
Jen and Kyle married 6/4/2010 and again 6/3/2012
Baby Girl born 9/7/2010
Baby Boy born 5/31/2013
My son goes through times of not wanting to brush either. When this happens, I use reverse psychology...
"You don't want to brush your teeth??? Ok, then off to bed! Nope, get out. Out... Mommy is going to brush her teeth... nope, go!" During which he is saying, no, brush teeth! Brush Teeth! :)
And when he brushes we do the whole - mommy do first then you do.
Eventually when he gets older we will do the you do first and then mommy do second.
We also change the paste so that he is picking the toothpaste for his turn. :)
Consistency is key. And you being more stubborn than them! LOL!
Thanks everyone! Great suggestions. We've done a lot of stuff that's worked, and then suddenly it just doesn't work anymore! However, yesterday I had success! I bought one of the two packs of toothbrushes (since she is just nawing the battery one), two different colors. I told her one was mine and one was hers and FIRST I had to use mine to brush her teeth and then she could use hers. It worked! Here's to hoping we get a long stretch out of this trick!

I do a count down with both upper and lower teeth. She knows when it starts and ends so that helps her. I also brush my teeth in front of her purposely so she sees that we all do it.
Mama to 2 beautiful mixed babies.
Platinum Boob :)
When my daughter was biting on the tooth brush and refusing to brush her teeth, my sister in law suggested that we buy two tooth brushes. One that she could chew on through out the day and one for brusing teeth only. Eventually my little one stoped chewing on the toothbrush we brushed her teeth with and only chewed the one she carried around through out the day. After about a week or two she even stoped carrying the toothbrush around. Now she just refuses to brush her teeth - we are trying to find ways to motivate her so we don't have to force it. We have found that picking out her toothpaste and toothbrush has helped. We got 3 kinds of tooth paste and now everynight she chooses which one she wants to use. But sometimes its still a fight to get her to brush her teeth.
DD-4-Allergy PN,TN,Eggs,Penicillin,mild Eczema,DD,outgrew oat
DD-2-Ana to milk,Allergic to PN,TN,eggs,wheat,garlic (outgrew soy,almond) severe Eczema
we too are struggling with brushing, im proud of her because shes an independent attitude, but i also want her to let me help her because whats the point in brushing herself if she may hurt a tooth or her gums etc....????
she needs them clean but also not hurt, what would be the point in that?!
guess we are not the only ones on this yet another transition.....
guess we could try the ahhhhhhh thing?
We have a different difficult time. DS loves to brush his teeth but ever since we switched to a flouride one and taught him to spit .. he drives us CRAZY!! he thinks he has to spit every 2 seconds. But when he does put up a fight when he thinks he is done I just give him a gross face and tell him I see fuzzies on his teeth and I need to get them off. Works great here! And durring the times when he did fight it we would just ignore the attitude of no and tell him that it was time to brsush without a change in our tone ( just a normal voice) and for him I think since there was no bribing he just listened.

I just recently installed WP. I've nearly completed implementing it into a deep network of PHP templates, and am amazed at how well it is playing with my existing site. It is truly a powerful and simple publishing utility.
Anyway, I've run into what I consider to be an issue for which I was unable to find an answer in either the Wiki or this Support Forum. WP automatically remembers an author's field information for the Comments form. While this is of great convenience to many users, some may be put off by it. Therefore it would be nice if I, as a developer, could offer the user an opt-out, similar to that of MovableType; typically denoted with two "yes" and "no" radio buttons following the phrase "remember this info?"
Does WP offer a method for implementing a feature of this nature? I believe it would be of great service to my users.
