hed goes here and here
A pair of convenience stores in opposite parts of the city of Buffalo were held up late Thursday, according to Buffalo Police reports.
The first robbery occurred about 7:40 p.m. at Alfy's Mini Mart, 465 Best St. The store owner told police that four men entered the store, one brandishing a knife, and demanded money. The owner fought with the suspect who had the knife, according to police, while the other robbers caused damage to his store.
The four men fled a short time later. Ferry-Fillmore District Police were investigating.
Then, about 9:15 p.m., a male entered the store at Valero Gas Station at 523 Starin Ave. armed with a hammer and demanded money.
The clerk told police the suspect grabbed a tray of cigarette lighters and fled the store.
Northwest District Police were investigating.

Tamas Dobozy's New Book, Siege 13, Reviewed by The National Post

Tamas Dobozy's New Book, Siege 13, Reviewed by The National Post
A new collection of short stories by English Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, Dr. Tamas Dobozy, has received rave reviews from one of Canada's national newspapers.
Brett Josef Grubisic, reviewing Siege 13 for the National Post on September 14, 2012, praises the stories using food metaphors: "rich," "piquant," "layered," "heavy," "exotic," and "a wholly satisfying feast." He writes, "Whether set in 1944 or 2007, each story is masterful and tinged with a beguiling weirdness, and the interplay between them results in an unsettling historical diorama that casts doubt on humanity's motivations and its ability to truly see, know and learn."
Siege 13 is about the siege of Budapest by the Red Army in December 1944 which was one of the bloodiest sieges of the Second World War. Its effects on the survivors and descendants lasted long after the war.
This is Professor Tamas Dobozy's third collection of short stories. His previous book, Last Notes and Other Stories (2005), subsequently translated by Lori Saint-Martin into French, won the Governor General's Literary Award for French translation in 2007. Dobozy has published over 50 works of short fiction in journals such as Alaska Quarterly Review, OneStory, Fiction, Agni, and Granta, among others. He won the 1995 sub-Terrain Magazine short fiction contest, and in 2011 he won an O. Henry Prize, given to the top twenty works of short fiction published that year anywhere in Canada or the United States, for his story, "The Restoration of the Villa Where Tibor Kálmán Once Lived."
Siege 13 is published by Thomas Allen Publishers.

The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place. It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.
The Hennepin Feeder Canal Trail located just south of Rock Falls is where you will pick up this medium to difficult trail. Cyclists, hikers and anglers come to enjoy the stocked waters, the peaceful wooded banks and the abundance of bird life. As the trail heads south toward the rural countryside the path frees itself from the throngs of people allowing you to enjoy the serene environment all to yourself.

I used this flash cart for nearly a year and it's still working perfectly - on a DS.
It's easy to use, it's cheap, so if you're using a DS - go for it! But don't be fooled by the 3DS label on the package. It doesn't work, at all, you're better off buying a pricier flash cart that actually will work.
5 stars for working wonderfully - 2 stars for lying about the 3DS compatibility.

I was writing to let everyone know about an unexpected blessing I received during the power outage.
It was on Nov. 2. Everything in our freezer had ruined, so my husband and I went to get something to eat. We pulled into a nearly full parking lot at the Chinese restaurant in Crystal Springs and went inside. It was so loud in there that I just wanted to eat and leave as quickly as possible. Above all the loud conversations though, I heard the word "church" a couple of times, then the word "chaplain." I wasn't intentionally eavesdropping, but I couldn't help but pick up on those words.
Right before we left, I went over to the man to the right of me. He was, in fact, a chaplain. I apologized to him for interrupting him and asked if he would please say a prayer for me and my family. He didn't even hesitate. He asked me my name and to tell him a little about my family.
After I had told him some of what was going on, he asked if he could pray for me right then. I'll never forget the first thing he said in that prayer. He actually thanked God for sending me to him. After he finished praying for me and my family, he told me to look for God's grace around me, even in the small things.
When we left, my heart felt so much lighter. I didn't think to get his name, but I wanted to write in to let him know that I am truly thankful to him.
To the chaplain: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will never know how much it means to me that you took the time to pray for a crying woman whom you had never even met. You really did change my life. My family and I will be praying for you and your family as well. I hope that you are richly rewarded for your good deed. Thank you and God bless.

In an interview soon before his death in 1997 (and eventually aired in the 2005 documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan" by Martin Scorsese), Beat-era poet Allen Ginsberg stated, "Poetry is words that are empowered that make your hair stand on end."
If you go
What: Bob Dylan with special guest DawesWhen: 7:30 p.m. SaturdayWhere: Family Circle Magazine Stadium, 161 Seven Farms Drive, Daniel IslandPrice: $25-$63.50more info: www.facebook.com/FamilyCircleStadiumConcerts or www.aeglive.com
Ginsberg uttered that phrase in reference to "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," Dylan's 1962 song that helped frame the songwriter as a de facto leader of the burgeoning protest movement amid fears of atomic war spurned by the Cuban Missile Crisis.
But Dylan didn't write the song in response to any specific issue, and he made a point to clarify that the "hard rain" and "pellets of poison" weren't nuclear fallout, but "the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers."
The media's, and listeners', tendency to reinterpret a song's meaning and apply it to society followed Dylan throughout his career; as a poet, he found thematic connections between words and phrases that could be construed to whatever issue might be at the forefront of national news at the moment.
"Words have their own meaning, or they have different meanings, and words change their meaning," Dylan said in Scorsese's film. "Words that meant something 10 years ago don't mean that now. They mean something else."
After 52 years of performing, Dylan's words have had countless chances to change their meaning. There is arguably no songwriter more prolific or influential in modern music. He's a man so complex that when another filmmaker, Todd Haynes, decided to base a fictional film around his life (2007's "I'm Not There"), he used six actors (one actually an actress) to portray different aspects of the singer's personality.
Dylan brought poetic lyrics to rock music, and he brought electric guitars and drums to folk music.
He polarized his audiences when he plugged in his guitar and again when he morphed into a born-again Christian gospel singer in the late '70s. But the audience never went away.
In 2012, Dylan released "Tempest," his 35th studio album, featuring the title track about the sinking of the Titanic that clocks in just shy of 14 minutes. "Rolling Stone" gave the album five stars.
This spring, Dylan, now 71, set out on the latest leg of his "Never Ending Tour" with a band that includes legendary blues guitarist Duke Robillard. Fans who have seen Dylan perform in the past decade may be pleased to hear that many of his classics have re-emerged throughout the 25th anniversary tour, including "Ballad of a Thin Man," "Tangled Up in Blue," "Visions of Johanna" and "All Along the Watchtower."
This Saturday, he'll perform at Family Circle Magazine Stadium on Daniel Island with special guest Dawes.
Ongoing inspiration
Bob Dylan secured his reputation as a great folk singer with his second album, 1963's "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," and began to reinvent what folk could be two years later with the release of the electrified song "Like a Rolling Stone" and the album "Bringing It All Back Home."
Never one to pander to reporters asking simplistic questions, Dylan often stated that what mattered to him was only what he was doing in the present time. When an English fan screamed "Judas!" at Dylan in 1966, he balked, called the fan a liar from stage, and told his band to "Play it (expletive) loud."
Identifying with "folk music," as a definition, still can be a struggle for musicians today. Dawes, the Los Angeles-based quartet that is touring with Dylan, fit the "folk" bill on a lyrical level, but its cohesive energy puts as much focus on musical song structure as on the poignant words of frontman Taylor Goldsmith.
"This band's show is a very rock 'n' roll experience, and that's important to us," said Goldsmith, citing influences such as Jackson Browne, Neil Young and Dylan, who have taken strong lyrics and created rock around them.
Among Dylan's broad catalog, Goldsmith recites as a favorite a verse, from memory, from the song "Visions of Johanna" on 1966's "Blonde on Blonde":
"If I'm talking to someone who says, 'I don't know if I get Bob Dylan,' the verse I would play them is, 'Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial/Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while/But Mona Lisa must-a had the highway blues/you can tell by the way she smiles.' "
More recently, on "Tempest," Goldsmith found inspiration in the song "Soon After Midnight."
"There's a line that says, 'It's now or never/More than ever,' that just really flies by you, but once I caught it, I thought, 'Oh wow, that's such a cool line.' "
Goldsmith hesitates when taking credit for his own songwriting accomplishments. The 2011 album "Nothing is Wrong" closes with the song "A Little Bit of Everything," which flows from suicide to old age and reflective regret to the underlying love behind the difficult relationship balance of planning a wedding. It's a song that qualifies as poetry and certainly makes your hair stand on end.
"I was nervous about that song," Goldsmith said of the writing process. "I wasn't sure if it was too direct, and I worried, 'Is this going to be too obvious or too earnest, or just too much?' I've never had that feeling of, 'Yeah, I really nailed it,' with a song."
Perils of fame
On tour with Dylan, it's Dawes' "A Little Bit of Everything" that seems to attract the most familiar response from the audience. Although that may quickly change since the April release of its third album, "Stories Don't End," featuring songs like the rolling "From a Window Seat" and the building "Most People," with its instantly grasping intro-hook. But even with catchy songs, Goldsmith emphasizes that Dawes' goal isn't to explode into popular consciousness overnight.
"If we just wanted to be entertaining, we would make it more about the energy level and make our songs 'dance-y' and 'hooky' and easier to sing to, which a lot of our songs aren't," Goldsmith said. "When I see pictures of singers standing on a drum and pointing a drum stick out to the audience, and the crowd is reaching back out to them and they're shouting something at each other, that's really exciting, but I know within myself that it's not who I am, so if I'm going to be honest with the audience and myself, then I'm not going to be doing that stuff."
At the peak of Dylan's trajectory to fame, in the summer of 1966, he crashed his motorcycle and immediately disappeared from the limelight. He didn't tour again for eight years. Because no ambulance was called and Dylan was not hospitalized, some have speculated that Dylan faked the injury to escape the hectic reality his life had become.
Contemporaries of Dawes, such as Mumford & Sons, have experienced similar meteoric rises in recent years, and Goldsmith hopes to avoid the pitfalls and pressure that can come with it.
"We're always open and prepared for the best, but expecting the worst," he said. "I don't really know if our songs are the kind of music that are going to catapult any band. Obviously, we want to have a fun and stable career, and play in front of as many people as we can, but what matters most is just playing the music that we want to make. When the dust settles on this third record, hopefully Dawes will be a couple of notches higher, but still building things."
The power of a song
When Bob Dylan wrote songs like "Masters of War," a direct response to President Dwight D. Eisenhower's acknowledgement of the growing "military-industrial complex" in 1961, or "The Times They Are a-Changin," the songs were met by an audience that was increasingly receptive to the message. Global society had never before faced such grave possibilities (nuclear war), and popular music had not overlapped with politics so directly.
After a half-century of stalemate wars and cyclical history, music may have lost the power that Dylan first gave it.
"I feel like there's a deeply set cynicism that goes with your everyday younger person living in the here and now," said Goldsmith. "If you were to sing them 'Masters of War' and it was a brand-new song, I don't know if in today's climate it would be received in the way it should be, or in the way it was when Bob Dylan first wrote it. People then were more open and a little more willing to believe in the power of something."
That doesn't mean that Goldsmith avoids addressing the world situation, but he does so with care.
The song "When My Time Comes" from Dawes' 2009 debut, "North Hills," found receptive ears when the band performed it with Jackson Browne for the Occupy movement gathered in New York in 2011, but like "A Hard Rain," it was written before the issue it came to symbolize even existed.
"The song was able to resonate in a way that people could find pride in," said Goldsmith. "If we had written a song where we started to talk about Occupy within the lyrics, I think that people would have said, 'Thanks, but no thanks.' People today are hyper-aware of what's realistic, so you don't want to write an irresponsibly hopeful song, in terms of, 'Here's how we can ... change things.' "
When you're Dylan, however, the rules may be different, even in 2013. Fans who remember identifying with the singer's statements half a century ago now mingle with those who first heard "A Hard Rain" decades after it was released.
"His songs still resonate," Goldsmith said. "I think people are still willing to look back on his older material with their eyes open, like they were back then."

Dr. Winthrop Dale passed away on October 23, 2012 at Star Valley Medical Center in Afton, Wyoming. Dr. Dale had resided in Wyoming for the last twelve years and was a well known former resident of Incline Village, Nevada.
Dr. Dale was born June 15, 1925 in Ohio. In 1930 the family moved to the college town of Oxford, Ohio where his father helped establish the college of Business Administration at Miami University. The family relocated to Moscow, Idaho in 1937 where his father became the President of the University of Idaho.
After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Idaho where he was initiated into the Idaho Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Theta. Soon after he enlisted in the army, where he was stationed at Fort Knox during World War II. He was discharged in 1946 but was recalled several years later to serve the army in the Korean War. Upon his return he found his true calling in veterinary medicine. He received his veterinary degree from Washington State University in 1956 and went on to build successful veterinary hospitals in Carson City, Yerington, and Incline Village.
He also discovered his passion for flying and became an experienced pilot. His skills proved to be very useful as he could fly out to ranches and farms that did not have access to veterinary services. Among his many accomplishments was a flight around the world in his Cessna 310.
Dr. Dale was an active member of AVMS, AOPA, Earthrounders, and Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
He is survived by brother, Dr. Paul Dale, of Honolulu, Hawaii, several nieces and nephews, including Gary Kupper of Incline Village, and former wife, Shirley Dale of Incline Village.
A memorial service and burial of his ashes will be held sometime next spring in Moscow, Idaho near his parents.

Push vs. Pull
- Posted: Dec 06, 2012 at 1:14PM
Right click "Save as…"
Today I'm sharing an ad-hoc, single-take whiteboard discussion on "push" and "pull" communication patterns. There's a lot of talk in the industry on push (see push notifications) and pulling/polling (long polling vs. web sockets and messaging), so I'm dissecting that space a bit and explore push vs. pull and various pattern nuances from UDP upwards.
Oops, something didn't work.

According to Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ), the threat of missile proliferation has grown rapidly since the 1990s. A total of 120 nations now have ballistic missile technology, he said, and nations like North Korea and Iran are not only developing the technology, but selling it on the open market. Missile defense systems are growing as well; 27 nations now have some form of missile defense.
The most recent annual report from the Pentagon highlighted the growing threat of accidental or intentional launch of ballistic missiles, as well as the vulnerability of U.S. satellites to attack, as evidenced by China's 2007 missile test, which destroyed a satellite in orbit.
A defense official commenting on the proposal told the Washington Times that space-based ABM systems are necessary for global, rapid defense, "It's really the only way to defend the U.S. and its allies from anywhere on the planet". The official said such defenses were last considered during the late 1980s, as part of the Global Protection Against Limited Strike, or GPALS, a multi-prong system which used ground and sea-based interceptors, along with space-based platforms. The plan was cancelled by the Clinton Administration, which focused all work on short-range missiles only.
The U.S. announced last year that its ground-based Star Wars' missile defense system was operational and ready for use, though capable at present of covering only parts of the U.S. Plans to expand the system in Europe are under way.
Despite claims to the contrary, China is also apparently working on similar proposals, says China military affairs specialist Richard Fisher. The program, which China says it halted in the 1960s, has apparently been restarted with such systems as the SC-19 anti-satellite missile. According to Fisher, China is also trying to deploy space-warfare weapons, aircraft carrier groups, and a much larger MIRV'ed version of its nuclear ballistic missile arsenal.
Fisher, author of the new book, "China's Military Modernization: Building for Regional and Global Reach", says that by 2020, China "will be well on their way to assembling all the elements of global power that [the U.S.] has today".
quote: The whole idea of building space based ICBM defense is expensive, unlikely to work
quote: Lets also ignore how easy it would be to destroy/disable a relatively fragile and vulnerable satellite
quote: So instead of the relative safety of having a few thousand ICBMs sitting in tightly secured silos that are in good communication with political and military leadership. You have hundreds of thousands of smaller warheads sitting at airbases, medium/short range missile launch sites, small naval vessels and vast numbers of submarines
quote: You fruitcakes said the same thing about ground-based ballistic missile defenses. And yet they're working just fine now. Space based missile defenses are even easier in theory than land based ones.
quote: If that satellite can shoot down incoming ballistic missiles, its not exactly very easy. And any nuclear missile someone shoots at a satellite is one less they have to aim at NYC or LA.
quote: Bad logic. Russia ALREADY has nuclear weapons sitting at airbases, submarines, and mobile medium/short range launch sites. Also there is nothing "safe" about having thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at you, hoping to hell the other side doesn't intentionally or accidentally launch a few at you.
quote: Third I'm betting the US can afford to build more interceptors than Russia can build missiles. Now that oil prices are crashing, their economy (which was never anywhere near as big as ours to begin with) is in an even bigger crisis than we are.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Beaver Local senior Troy Hudson is going out in grand fashion.
Except for a tournament win that is.
Hudson scored 19 points to surpass 1,000 for his career, but Beaver Local ended up on the losing end of a 58-50 scoreline against Harrison Central in a Div. II sectional contest at Ohio University Eastern.
Hudson needed 15 points to reach the milestone coming into the game. He ended his career at Beaver with 1,004 points.
Harrison Central, on the other hand, had its confidence shook during last week's OVAC Basketball Tournament.
The Huskies were blown out twice and finished fourth in Class 4A, so head coach Justin Clifford gave his team a few days off to re-group.
The strategy evidently worked.
"Our feelings got hurt last week," Clifford said. "To be totally honest, we probably had the best week of practice we've had all season leading up to this game and that's a tribute to the older guys on this team. When you play now, it's survive and advance and we survived."
Harrison Central, which is now 15-7 on the season, will return to OUE on Tuesday to meet Buckeye 8 rival Indian Creek, which swept the Huskies during the regular season.
The Beavers, who finished their season at 12-11, were certainly feisty throughout, especially in the second half.
It looked as if Harrison Central was on the verge of pulling away in the third quarter. The Huskies owned a 29-20 cushion at the intermission and the lead swelled to as many as 13 in the third, but the Beavers got it going from there.
Hudson scored nine in the third quarter to fuel the rally.
The Huskies were able to keep the Beavers at bay thanks to a pair of big triples in the period by Nate Olmstead and senior leader Fletcher Watt. Senior Nick Pelegreen had a conventional three-point play as well for Harrison, which took a 42-37 lead into the final chapter.
"Beaver is a skilled basketball team that has guys who can score," Clifford said. "Coach Walgate has done a nice job with that team this season. We knew they wouldn't go away, but we had some guys step up for us."
Beaver knotted the game twice in the fourth at 44 and 46, but were never able to get the lead. After tying the game at 46, the Huskies were able to turn up the defense. They forced a turnover on three consecutive possessions, and converted all into points.
"We talked about guarding better," Clifford said. "I didn't think we guarded as well as we usually had in the OVAC games. I think we got away from what we did and I take blame for that, so we got after it this week in practice."
With the game tied at 46, Watt got an off-balance leaner to drop and talented sophomore Austin Kowalski drove into the paint and knocked a shot down, making it 50-46.
"When we needed a play, Austin made one for us," Clifford said. "He made a few turnovers, but he's fearless in a good and bad way. I'll take those kinds of guys."
Thanks to free throw shooting by Kowalski and Pelegreen, the Beavers never got any closer than 51-47 the rest of the way.
"We got the penetation we were looking for, but I think we waited a little too long to kick it out and it got us into some bad opportunities," Walgate said. "If we're going to take credit for getting back into the game with it in the third, we definitely have to try it in the fourth. It just turned out to be our downfall."
The Huskies were led by a quartet of double-figure scorers. Watt netted 18, while Kowalski and Pelegreen each had 13. Senior Rashaen Mitchell, who had a big first half, finished with 12 points.
Hudson was complemented in the Beaver Local scoring column by Zack Mick's 13 and Jared Lyder's 10.
H. CENTRAL SCORING: Kowalski 2-8-13, Watt 6-3-18, R. Mitchell 5-2-12, Pelegreen 3-7-13, Olmstead 1-0-3. TOTALS: 17, 20-25: 59
B. LOCAL SCORING: Chase Hilliard 1-2-4, Jared Lyder 5-0-10, Brandon Fetty 2-0-4, Troy Hudson 8-2-19, Zack Mick 5-0-13. TOTALS: 21, 4-7: 50
Three-pointers: Harrison Central 4 (Watt 3, Kowalski), Beaver Local 3 (Mick).

"We need national dialogue" is a quaint phrase of the moment. Some advocates are quick to use tragedy or crisis to advance an issue. Some advocates rally against a Constitutional right, but they own firearms or have armed bodyguards. Some advocates call for open borders, but live in gated communities and private estates. Some advocates infringe on the lawful, yet pander to the unlawful allowing multiple offenses and legal wrangling.
Does the total number of intruders in a home invasion matter? Will the homeowner feel more secure defending their family with a flintlock, or with a firearm equal to or greater than the criminal's potential? How many officers are necessary to take down one offender who is under the influence of drugs?
Even in states with "loose carry laws," all the mass murders were done in gun-free zones. With the exception of military police, soldiers are prohibited to carry weapons on military bases. Before MPs could arrive, a soldier fought off a terrorist with a chair. How many rounds of ammunition in a firearm are too many - 30, 15, 5? A magazine in a semi-automatic pistol can be replaced in less than a second. A revolver can be fired as fast as a semi-automatic. Pump action shotguns operate similar to semi-automatics.
The Second Amendment is second only to the First Amendment regarding personal liberties.
Fact: More mass murders on children have been committed with methods other than firearms.
Fact: Criminals and the insane break laws. One life taken early is unquestionably one too many. Evil will use any method.
Until we address individual liberty, not opinion, Mark Twain said it best, "Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul."

2008 Rule 5 Draft
UPDATE: The Cubs lost three players in the 2008 Rule 5 Draft this morning, one in the Major League Phase and two in the AAA Phase.
1. Donald Veal, LHP - selected off AAA Iowa roster by Pittsburgh Pirates with 4th overall pick in Major League Phase.
2. Yusuf Carter, OF - selected off AA Tennessee roster by Oakland A's in AAA Phase.
3. Mark Holliman, RHP - selected off AA Tennessee roster by Milwaukee Brewers in AAA Phase
The Cubs did not select any players, but they did acquire RHP David Patton from the Cincinnati Reds in a cash transaction after the conclusion of the draft. Patton was selected from the Colorado Rockies by the Reds with the 8th pick in the 1st round of the Major League Phase, and so the Cubs will assume the Rule 5 obligations (Patton must remain on Cubs 25-man roster for the entire 2009 season--or at least 90 days on the active roster if he spends time on the DL--before he can be optioned to the minors).
The 24-year old Patton is 6'3 175, and was selected by Colorado in the 12th round of the 2004 draft out of Green River CC in Washington. He struggled as a starter his first two years in pro ball before turning his career around after a move to the bullpen in 2006. He throws a hard breaking ball and has an above average fastball, and so he could project as an MLB reliever. The only problem is, he spent the last two years pitching in the California League (Hi-A), and has yet to throw even one inning of AA ball, although he did get into nine games with the Phoenix Desert Dogs of the AFL post-2008 (an atrocious 9.24 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in 12.2 IP).
All three of the Cubs players selected in today's Rule 5 Draft were 2005 Rule 4 Draft picks (Veal in the 2nd round out of Pima CC, Holliman in the 3rd round out of Ol' Miss, and Carter in the 12th round out of El Paso CC), and this was the first Rule 5 Draft for each player.
Veal is still only 24, and was rated one of the Cubs top pitching prospects for most of his time with the Cubs, before falling out of favor in 2008. Veal has a plus-curve and a 93 MPH fastball, but he has struggled with his mechanics throughout his pro career and tends to hit his pitch limit before he can get through five innings. To help him throw fewer pitches-per-inning, the Cubs had him junk his curve in favor of a more-pedestrian slider in 2008, and that could have led to his downfall. I suspect the Pirates will have Veal try and get back to where he was before the Cubs started messing with him. I have projected Veal as a future MLB reliever for some time now (I would compare him to Arthur Rhodes), and I believe that is his best chance to have success at the MLB level. He is very effective against left-handed hitters, and pitching more often but without a pitch limit (as will be the case if he works out of the bullpen) should help him find more consistency with his posture, release point, and arm slot.
The 25-year old Holliman was a "Friday Night Starter" (ace) at Ole Miss in his college days, and he had some success as a rotation starter the first half of 2006 and 2007 with the Cubs at Daytona and Tennessee. But then he would hit a wall at about 110 IP and was unable to finish strong. With it becoming increasingly obvious that Holliman lacked the stamina to throw the 180 innings per season needed to remain in the starting rotation, he was moved into a middle-relief role at AA in 2008, and that appears to be his future.
Drafted out of JC ball as a catcher, 23-year old Yusuf Carter was moved to RF his second year with the Cubs. He has a plus-arm and plus-power, but he is also a very raw hitter (226/275/409 hitter in 298 career minor league games) who strikes out a lot and rarely walks. He would have had to win a job as the 4th outfielder at Tennessee in 2009 if he had remained with the Cubs. He is the nephew of retired MLB star outfielder (and ex-Cub) Joe Carter.
When a Rule 5-eligible player is placed on a AA reserve list in preparation for the Rule 5 Draft (as was the case with Holliman and Carter), it usually means the player's club sees the player as having a 50/50 chance of getting released in Spring Training, and so the club is happy to get $12,000 for the player. And since they were selected in the AAA Phase of the Rule 5 Draft, Carter and Holliman will not be offered back to the Cubs. They are gone.
Veal's situation is a different matter, however, as he has to remain on the Pirates 25-man roster for the entire 2009 season (or a minimum of 90 days if he spends time on the DL) before he can be optioned to the minors. So it is possible that the Cubs could get Veal back, if the Pirates decide they can't afford to keep him in the big leagues for an entire season and if the other MLB clubs aren't interested in assuming the Rule 5 requirements.
The 2008 Rule 5 Draft gets underway in about 15 minutes at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, and (as usual) it's the last official order of business at the MLB Winter Meetings
37 Cubs minor leaguers (including three players who retired during Spring Training 2007) are eligible for selection. I expect to see LHP Donald Veal (Cubs 2005 2nd round pick out of Pima CC) picked early, and don't be surprised if Veal is selected by a club picking in the Top 5 but then gets traded (for cash or a PTBNL) to a club that selects in the bottom third of the draft order. Other Cubs who are fairly strong candidates for selection are RHPs Mark Holliman, Gregory Reinhard, Dumas Garcia, and Jesse Estrada, and 2B Nate Spears.
There are three phases to the draft, the Major League Phase (where players are selected off AAA reserve lists), the AAA Phase (where players are selected off AA reserve lists), and the AA Phase (where players are selected off the reserve lists of Class "A" clubs).
Players eligible for selection in the Major League Phase cost $50,000 each, players eligible for selection in the AAA Phase cost $12,000, and players eligible for selection in the AA Phase cost $4,000.
Players selected in the Major League Phase must remain on the drafting club's MLB Active Roster (25-man roster) for one full season or 90 days (whichever comes last) before the player can be optioned to the minors (presuming the player has minor league options left). Time spent on the Disabled List does not count toward the one year or 90 days
A player selected in the Major League Phase must receive a "full trial" in Spring Training, and cannot be outrighted to the minors until 20 days prior to the start of the season.
If a club wants to remove a Rule 5 player from it's 40-man roster prior to the player completing one full season (or 90 days) on the Active Roster, the player must be placed on Outright Waivers (which are irrevocable) and can be claimed by another club for the waiver price (which is $25,000 for Rule 5 players).
If the Rule 5 player is claimed off Outright Waivers, the claiming club assumes the Rule 5 roster requirements. If the player is not claimed, the player must be offered back to the player's original club for half the draft price ($25,000) If the player is not taken back by the club from whom the player was drafted, the player is automatically outrighted to the AAA club of the drafting club. If the player has at least three years of MLB service time or as been previously outrighted in his career, the player has the option to be a free-agent rather than accept the outright assignment.
Playes selected in the AAA and AA phases of the Rule 5 Draft belong to the drafting club without any strings attached or roster restrictions. The only caveat is that the drafted player must spend Spring Training with the minor league club (AAA or AA level) that selected the player in the draft. But once the minor league regular season starts, the player can be assigned to any team in the drafting club's minor league system.
You can follow the Rule 5 draft over at Baseball America if you wish. As of 12:41PM CST, Donald Veal was taken with the 4th pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bruce Miles is reporting that the Cubs are trying to work out a trade with the Cincinnati Reds to acquire pitcher David Patton, whom they selected from the Colorado Rockies.
In the Triple A-Phase, the Cubs have lost outfielder Yusuf Carter to the Athletics and pitcher Mark Holliman to the Brewers. (Rob G.)
Re: Donnie Veal
Just how bad is our minor league system? Well, remember, Donnie Veal was the only Tennessee Smokie (AA) picked for the Southern League All-Star team. But after getting passed over for promotion to Iowa (Smarja got the open roster spot instead), Veal swooned in the second half and now he's on his way out.
I'm guessing Baltimore may be interested.
Re: Donnie Veal
"Just how bad is our minor league system."
Getting better at the lower levels, where it has to start. Tennessee was especially weak last year, and Iowa used retreads to camouflage a dearth of prospects.
But Daytona, with many players from Wilken's first (2006) draft class, was good (FSL champs). Boise and Peoria were pretty good.
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
Veal was taken 4th by the Pirates. He does have a chance to stick with that pitching staff...and I'm sure we'll have a chance to see him pitch against us.
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
I'm looking forward to Cubs' batters feasting on him in April. Mmmm..... Veal.

Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
Why is a team that supposed to strapped for cash trading any of it away for a guy who wont make the team? Is the cash their giving the Reds less than the waiver exchange Patten's old team will have to pay to get him back?
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
I don't know what the Cubs paid the Reds for Patton, but the Reds paid $50,000 to the Rockies. You have to assume the Cubs paid a little more to get him from the Reds.
If the Cubs decide to drop Patton AND the Rockies or another team decides to pick him back up, the Cubs get $25,000.
Plus the Cubs have to pay Patton something for his time with the Cubs, whatever that is (I'm sure Phil knows). But the major league minimum is $390,000, it would take about 7-8 of these deals just to equal that, so it's not a big deal...at all.
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
When did he retire from the NFL?
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
Reds writer says it was a pre-arranged deal...
don't we all feel better about Josh Hamilton now? (Ducks from the flying debris being thrown at me)
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
so what do the Cubs have to pay him between now and Opening Day?
or how does that all work, I guess.
I assume the $400K goes into effect if he makes the 25-man, but he gets something between now and then, correct? the minor league split money?
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
Maybe we can get Josh Hamilton back for teh 400K cash we got two years ago? He would have looked good in RF right now!
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
Andy Sisco would look good in RF right now too. He can't play OF any better than he can pitch, but he'd look the part.
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
here is Kevin Goldstein's take on David Patton (from Baseball Prospectus);
Patton is another reliever with a solid chance to stick. More of an organizational player entering the season, Patton's stuff significantly improved with a move to the bullpen, as his fastball consistently sat in the low 90s in shorter stints, and he also uses a sharp slider that projects as at least average. If there's a word of warning, it's that he got torched in the Arizona Fall League and then struggled with his command in Hawaii.
Re: 2008 Rule 5 Draft
so he's got a solid chance to stick despite not being able to get Triple-A and Double-A hitters outs?
dubious logic....

As volunteer firefighters raced to the scene of a house fire Tuesday night on Langford Road in North Collins, the first person to respond, Langford-New Oregon Fire Chief Charles Hohman, knew the house well.
It was his brother Paul's home.
Charles Hohman did what any firefighter would do: When he arrived he made sure everyone was out, Assistant Fire Chief Peter J. Loretto said.
Then it was time to fight the blaze.
"You get a heightened sense of emergency, but we calmed him down," Loretto said Wednesday. "We said, 'We can't lose you. We need you here.' "
Hohman led a large group of volunteers from 11 local fire companies who managed to save the home at 10552 Langford Road after responding to a 9:32 p.m. alarm Tuesday.
"Luckily, the roof is still on it," Loretto said. "That fire had a really good start. There was real heavy fire on the second floor. They made a really good push on it, and they pushed the fire out of the house."
The lack of hydrants in the area forced Langford-New Oregon fire officials to call for tankers and firefighters from 10 other volunteer departments: Boston, Lawtons, North Collins, Collins Center, Collins, Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, Mortons Corners, Brant, Evans Center and Eden.
No damage estimate or cause was available, but fire officials said the home sustained heavy fire damage and extensive water damage.

UNIVERSITY PARK - It looked like so much had been thrown away when the NCAA handed down its sanctions against the Penn State football program last summer.
Brandon Felder, though, caught his break and ran with it. Literally.
Provided a chance to start with the transfer of Justin Brown to Oklahoma, Felder, who had just seven receptions in his first three years at Penn State, established himself as a wide receiver Bill O'Brien and his Nittany Lion staff could count on.
"I had to overcome many obstacles, dealing with injuries and all that stuff," the 6-foot-2, 199-pound Felder said. "Heading into the season, I had to clear my head and focus on playing football, just taking it day by day.
"I got better."
Felder hauled in 31 passes as a redshirt junior in 2012 and enters the season, which opens on Saturday against Syracuse in East Rutherford, N.J., as part of a receiving corp that, led by All-American candidate Allen Robinson, is one of the Lions' strongest positions.
"We've got a lot of skill on this team." Robinson said. "If some teams try to [overplay me], you're going to see a lot of success for other guys."
That includes players like speedy Alex Kenney, towering Matt Zanellato and redshirt freshman prodigy Eugene Lewis, but the player likely to get the most opportunities to be a difference-maker is Felder.
"I'm practicing harder than I did last year. Hopefully I have better results than I did last year," Felder said.
Felder replaced Shawney Kersey, who eventually transferred, in the starting lineup three games into the season without having a catch. He made steady improvement from there, raising his number of receptions four straight weeks before turning in a six-catch, 129-yard performance in the win over Purdue. He also scored his only career touchdown against the Boilermakers.
Felder caught at least four passes in five games. One of those came against Ohio State, when he had a 42-yard grab.
"He had game experience. It's all about opportunity. He took advantage of it," receivers coach Stan Hixon said of Felder's emergence. "Obviously, being smart and knowing the offense is a big part of that. Brandon's a good route runner, and he's got pretty good hands. He's probably more technician than speed, but, if you saw us last year, he got deep some, too."
Hixon used the term "being in the right place at the right time" when describing the reason Felder was able to turn in such a good year. Part of that was being able to get onto the field, part of it was all the attention Robinson got and part of it was the style of offense and the approach O'Brien and Hixon brought from the NFL.
"It was a big change from when Coach Paterno was here to Coach O'Brien," said Felder, who was recruiting by the previous staff from Oxon Hill High School in Maryland. "But football's football. You have to go out and do what you can do."
Felder's still got some specific plans for how to get even better this season.
"For any kind receiver, you want to work on your route running," Felder said. "And conditioning, as well. Playing receiver is a fast-paced game. You want to be in the best shape you can be."
There are several other wideouts on the roster who are positioned to make a similar progression this year to what Felder accomplished last season. One of them is Kenney - the sprinter from State College caught 17 passes as a redshirt sophomore for about 10 yards per reception.
The biggest thing seeming to stand in Kenney's way is where he fits in. More of a running back in high school, Kenney said he'll play primarily in the slot this season but will see some time on the outside. He's also going to be in the mix to return kickoffs and punts.
"I feel a lot more comfortable," Kenney said. "Last year, I was learning the offense. This year, I'm trying to master it. I think it's going to be a different year for me. It's very challenging to learn. I just want to perform. I want to go out and do my best and make some plays this year."
Hixson said Kenney's numbers last year were a bit deceiving.
"Alex did a good job for us. His production based on his attempts was pretty high," Hixon said, noting Kenney might only have been thrown to around 20 times. "Our job this year, with his improvement, with his speed, with his athletic ability, we're going to do some special things for him to get the ball into his hands."
Of course, in Penn State's offense, more than three receivers will get shots. Zanellato and Lewis figure to see significant action, too.
Zanellato, who checks in at 6-3, 202 pounds, caught two passes as a redshirt freshman in 2012. Lewis, meanwhile, was making a name for himself on the scout team; the word was spread that he would be a big-time talent when he finally got into a game, and O'Brien said he was opening eyes early in practice.
"He had an unbelievable one-handed catch the other day with his right hand, never brought his left hand in," O'Brien said on media day. "What a great kid, too. Just always has a smile on his face, fantastic guy to coach. And then Zanny has come in here and done a nice job. He's really worked hard in the offseason. He's stronger, he's bigger, he's a physical receiver, and he works extremely hard, and so both those guys will play for us this year."
O'Brien has been mentioning the 6-1, 201-pound Lewis going back before last season, and fans have been eager to get a glimpse of the former all-state player from the Wilkes-Barre area.
"I'm really excited to show these fans what I've got," Lewis said. "Any opportunity I have to make a play, I want to do it. Whatever Coach O'Brien makes my role, I'm going to go out there and try to be as successful as I can."
Lewis thought getting to play alongside Robinson and Felder worked in his favor.
"Allen and Brandon have been great guys. They've been great leaders to me. I look at their game to put it together with mine," Lewis said.
Robinson's game alone would offer quite a full plate. The junior from Southfield, Mich. turned in one of the greatest seasons ever for a Nittany Lion receiver in 2012, catching 77 passes for 1,013 yards and 11 touchdowns.
After Robinson was named the Big Ten receiver of the year, O'Brien is looking to expand his role and move him around. Robinson is looking for even better things this fall.
"I've got to try to continue to make plays. Going into the offseason, I tried to get bigger, stronger and faster. I've been trying to do some different things with my route running so I'm exploding out of my breaks," Robinson said. "I made some plays last year, but this year I think I have to make a few more."
It's quite conceivable that Robinson could be a better receiver this year and not have quite the numbers he had as a sophomore, because the depth at his position will give Lion quarterbacks opportunities to take advantage of other mismatches on the field.
"Physically, we're all better and improved over last season," Robinson said. "Now we just have to go out and play like we are."

Only one day before President Obama is scheduled to present his gun violence initiatives to the nation, another school shooting has occurred, this time in St. Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that at least one person (the shooter) has been confirmed dead at a college shooting in downtown St. Louis.
A longtime employee of Stevens Institute of Business & Arts was shot by a part-time student in an apparent argument over financial aid this afternoon (Tuesday), police said. The shooting took place on the building's fourth floor. The student then shot and killed himself in a nearby stairwell.
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said that both the shooter and the victim underwent surgery at the same time and at the same hospital. At that time, he was "hopeful" they both would survive. The shooting occurred at approximately 2 p.m. As stated above, however, it has now been confirmed that the shooter has died of his self-inflicted wounds. Police said the victim was in his late 40s and was shot at point-blank range in the chest with a handgun.
The police recovered a gun beside the alleged shooter in the stairwell. The shooter has been a part-time student at the college for over the last four-year period, and was well-known to the school. Neither his nor the victim's names have been released as of this writing.
"He was familiar to faculty and staff," Dotson said. "The victim and the shooter were familiar with each other. They knew each other. This did not appear to be random. It appeared to be targeted."
Police and other authorities surrounded the building while a helicopter flew overhead. A SWAT team and police dogs scoured the building in search of other perpetrators or other injured people. Neither was found. There were between 40 and 50 people known to be in the building at the time of the incident.
Authorities have closed off most of the area, causing massive traffic problems in downtown St. Louis.
Adela Gledovic, a sales coordinator with nearby Windows on Washington, said that she heard no gunshots and only became aware of the shooting when police arrived.
"We're staying inside with our doors locked," she said. "We're fine here though."
As stated, both the suspect and the victim were taken to St. Louis University Hospital, and, as also indicated above, the shooter is confirmed as dead. At this writing, the victim is apparently still in surgery.
According to its website, the school was originally known as Patricia Stevens College when it opened in 1947. It offers two-year Associates as well as four-year Bachelor degrees in several majors, including business administration and interior design. As of 2010, the school had an enrollment of about 250 students.
UPDATE and CORRECTION:
As of 9:00 p.m. Chicago time, local and national radio stations, local newspapers and websites report that the shooter in this case has not died afterall. In fact, the police chief, Mr. Dotson, referred to above, has now stated that he expects both the shooter and the victim to "fully recover." I apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding the initial reports may have caused.

About Beeweaver
Both beekeeping and the Weaver family have changed over the past century, but our fundamentals remain the same.
For more than a century, honey has been running through 5 generations of the Weaver family veins. What began as side job for Binford's grandparents, Florence and Zachariah, after acquiring ten bee colonies as a wedding gift in 1888, has become a passion and livelihood for the four generations of Weavers that followed. It was Binford's father Roy's ambition and determination that set the stage for the Weaver name to be synonymous with quality bees and honey production. After learning the basics of beekeeping, Roy went on a quest for knowledge to learn more about the trade. On his first day the boss gave him two old mules, a wagon and an old farmer as a helper, and told him to extract a honey crop. Select to learn more about the BeeWeaver Beginnings.
At the 1926 Texas Beekeepers Assocation meeting, Roy Weaver, Sr., was approached bt T.W. Burleson, (founder of Burleson's Honey), and H.E. Graham, (a large early package bee producer). They requested at least 1,000 queens a year from Roy; that was, if he could produce them. And so the challenge began, and Weaver Apiaries was born.
Since that time, uncles, brothers, and sons have joined the family business. With the same passion as his forefathers, Danny Weaver continues the quest to make the world a better place through the creation of the best bees and honey in the world. BeeWeaver Apiaries is committed to excellence, and technologically advancing apiculture, while providing honey consumers the best for their families
