Probably no other California winery boasts a history as colorful as that of Buena Vista Winery of Sonoma.
It's a story of colorful European nobility, a soldier from the 1917 Russian Revolution's White Army and finally a top-ranked French wine producer coming to the rescue.
Two hundred years ago in Hungary's famed wine city of Tokaj, Agoston Haraszthy was born to a winemaking family of minor nobility. He learned to make wine by age 5.
As an adult, he started a family, but, frustrated by Hungarian social and commercial immobility, he came to the United States by 1840. In 1849 he took his family by wagon train to California.
Visiting Sonoma County, he was enchanted by its winemaking potential. In 1857 he built the state's first progressive winery, with gravity flow winemaking, California redwood barrels and a series of aging caves dug by Chinese workers. He imported thousands of top-quality European vines and dubbed himself "The Count of Buena Vista."
Then tragedy happened. In the late 1860s his vines were attacked by the root louse phylloxera. He traveled then to Nicaragua to make rum, but was killed by a crocodile there while crossing a river. Buena Vista Winery went bankrupt.
Ensuing years only made things worse, with the financial panic of the 1880s, the earthquake of 1906, the Great Depression, Prohibition and World War II.
In 1943, finally, a new family bought the winery, rebuilt it, replanted its grapes. And in a stroke of genius, it hired the genius Andre Tchelistcheff as consulting winemaker.
Tchelistcheff was born in Russia, and, in the 1917 Revolution joined the White Russian Army opposing the Bolsheviks. When his side lost, he had to flee. He ended up in Paris studying wine, later emigrating to California.
Hardships weren't over. In the 1960s a series of ownership changes again hurt the winery's image.
But in 2011, new owners again arrived. Jean-Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates, producers of fine wine in France's vaunted Burgundy region, again has renovated the old winery and planted new vines.
To mark the 200th anniversary of Haraszthy's birth, the company is releasing a new series of wine from Sonoma. Yet again, hopes are high.
Highly recommended:
•2010 Buena Vista Sonoma Merlot: spicy black cherry and black pepper aromas and flavors, full-bodied, smooth, long finish; $15.
•2011 Buena Vista Sonoma Chardonnay: golden delicious apples and toast, medium body, long finish; $15.

has been hit hard with widespread issues with its Prius and other
cars that have suffered from glitches with brakes or unintended
acceleration. Toyota was forced to recall a large number of its
vehicles to install new parts to prevent wear of the throttle pedal
that was the cause of some of the issues.The last
headline-making bout of unintended
acceleration happened in early March when police in
California had to help a motorist who was reportedly unable to stop
his Prius from accelerating. Detnews.com reports
that the U.S. Transportation Department has announced that it intends
to launch a pair of major
investigations that will seek to determine if vehicle
electronics or electromagnetic interference are to blame for
unintended vehicle acceleration incidents that have been rampant
recently.The investigations will be headed by the National
Academy of Sciences and the other will be run by NASA. According to
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the investigations will not
focus on Toyota alone and will focus on all manufacturers. So far,
Toyota is the most affected of the automakers and the recall to fix
issues with floor mats and throttle pedals has covered 8.5
million of the automakers vehicles so far.Since 2000, a total of
3,000 complaints including 51 deaths have been linked to
Toyota vehicles that failed to stop accelerating. Toyota maintains
that EMI and electronics are not the cause of the issue and that
trapped or malfunctioning pedals are the cause."Many
members of Congress think it's electronics and I heard enough of that
-- not only from members but from Toyota drivers ... and so we felt
we really needed to get outside experts," LaHood said. "We
are tapping the best minds around." Toyota added,
"We expect they will bring a thorough and scientific approach to
their examination of the issues. Separating fact from fiction can
only be good for the motoring public and the industry as a whole. We
are confident in our vehicles and in our electronics. We will lend
our full support and cooperation to DOT and NHTSA as they moved
forward."The investigations will reportedly last 15
months and will seek to find and address any safety issues with any
vehicle on the road today in America. All possible causes for
unintended vehicle acceleration will reportedly be investigated
including electronics, human error, mechanical failure, and
interference with accelerator systems.According to LaHood,
the department will spend $3 million on the two studies including the
cost of buying cars that have allegedly suffered from unintended
acceleration. The NHTSA has brought in engineers and other experts
for the investigations on topics such as electromagnetic
compatibility among others in an attempt to determine if flaws in
vehicles on the road warrant a defect investigation. The review of
the Toyota electronic throttle control system is expected to be
completed by late summer reports the NHTSA.
quote: The [Audi] exhibited "sudden acceleration," a fatal propensity to take off at full speed even as the terrified driver rammed the brake pedal to the floor.CBS's "60 Minutes" ran a devastating expose of the Audi 5000. Audi customers fled. Lawyers cashed in. The American public was saved, yet again, from the perils of technology gone awry. Only one little noticed footnote remains at the end: There was nothing wrong with the car. ...But a story to the effect that cars accelerate when drivers step on the accelerator doesn't boost television ratings or jury verdicts. And driver error is understandably hard to accept for a mother whose errant foot killed her six yearold son. So with the help of such mothers, CAS and CBS knitted together a tissue of conjecture, insinuation and calumny. The car's cruise control was at fault. Or maybe the electronic idle. Or perhaps the transmission."60 Minutes," in one of journalism's most shameful hours, gave air time in November 1986 to a selfstyled expert who drilled a hole in an Audi transmission and pumped in air at high pressure. Viewers didn't see the drill or the pump—just the doctored car blasting off like a rocket. Junk science of this kind moves fast . Real science takes time to catch up with this kind of intellectual cockroach and squash it. Government agencies in Japan and Canada, as well as in the U.S., conducted painstaking studies. The Canadians who are franker about such things, called it "driver error." In America, where we can't attach blame to anyone whose name doesn't end with Inc., it was called "pedal misapplication." And unsurprisingly, it's not just Audi drivers who commit it...
quote: That article from 1989 is so relevant to today
quote: With the Camry's throttle pinned while going 70 mph, the brakes easily overcame all 268 horsepower straining against them and stopped the car in 190 feet—that's a foot shorter than the performance of a Ford Taurus without any gas-pedal problems and just 16 feet longer than with the Camry's throttle closed.
quote: The third test simulated a racing engine causing the car to speed out of control and the driver reacting by just hitting the brake pedal as hard as possible. Even though in this case the brakes had to overcome the motive force of the engine, they did. The car came to a halt in 148.8 feet, a distance that perhaps a large, heavy-duty pickup might make under normal maximum braking. With practice (this is, after all, a non-standard test), Josh was able to whittle this distance down to 129 feet. In other words, even if the driver of a runaway car (well, a Camry, anyway) doesn't think to put the transmission into neutral before hitting the brakes, it is still possible to stop the car within a reasonable distance if sufficient pedal force is applied.
quote: we devised a simple additional test: We accelerated each of the cars to just under 60 mph, floored the gas, and then within two seconds nailed the brakes while keeping the gas pedal floored. We then measured the distance it took to bring each of the cars to a complete halt from 60 mph, and compared that to our tested 60-0 mph braking distances. Same cars, same track surface, same driver. Our key finding: EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED, ALL CARS DID STOP .
quote: • The accelerator pedal was tested and found to be working normally with no mechanical binding or friction. It should be noted that the Prius is not subject to a recall for sticking accelerator pedals and the Prius component is made by a different supplier than the one recalled.• The front brakes showed severe wear and damage from overheating. The rear brakes and parking brake were in good condition and functional. • A Toyota carpeted floor mat of the correct type for the vehicle was installed but not secured to the retention hooks. It was not found to be interfering or even touching the accelerator pedal.• The pushbutton power switch worked normally and shut the vehicle off when depressed for 3 seconds as the 911 operator advised Mr. Sikes to do. • The shift lever also worked normally and neutral could be selected. The neutral position is clearly marked and can be easily engaged by moving the lever left to the "N" marking. • There were no diagnostic trouble codes found in the power management computer, nor was the dashboard malfunction indicator light activated. The hybrid self-diagnostic system did show evidence of numerous, rapidly repeated on-and- off applications of both the accelerator and the brake pedals. • After examination of individual components, the front brakes were replaced and the vehicle was test driven, during which the vehicle was observed to be functioning normally.• During testing, the brakes were purposely abused by continuous light application in order to overheat them. The vehicle could be safely stopped by means of the brake pedal, even when overheated.
quote: The Prius braking system uses both conventional hydraulic friction brakes and a regenerative braking system which switches the electric drive motors into brakes to generate electricity. The system features a sophisticated self- protection function which cuts engine power if moderate brake pedal pressure is applied and the accelerator pedal is depressed more than approximately 50 percent, in effect providing a form of "brake override." This function, which is intended to protect the system from overload and possible damage, was found to be functioning normally during the preliminary field examination.Toyota engineers believe that it would be extremely difficult for the Prius to be driven at a continuous high speed with more than light brake-pedal pressure, and that the assertion that the vehicle could not be stopped with the brakes is fundamentally inconsistent with basic vehicle design and the investigation observations.

Background: PLD and bortezomib (BORT) are FDA-approved for MM patients who have received one prior therapy. We have previously demonstrated in laboratory studies that lower doses of PLD administered more frequently are better tolerated than higher doses given less often. The combination of BORT and dexamethasone (DEX) is effective for previously untreated MM patients. Prior studies by our group have shown that intravenous administration of DEX 40 mg, BORT 1.0 mg/m2 and PLD 5 mg/m2 (DVD) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 28-day cycle is effective for relapsed/refractory MM patients and well tolerated.
Methods: We conducted a single-arm multi-center phase II study for previously untreated MM patients to evaluate the DVD regimen. Patients were treated to a maximum response plus two additional cycles or completed a maximum of eight cycles of therapy without disease progression.
Results: Thirty-five patients were enrolled with a median age of 65 years (range, 42-82 years). Thirty and 33 patients are currently evaluable for response and toxicity, respectively. Twenty-five (83%) patients have shown objective responses to the DVD regimen, including 5 (17%) complete responses, 1 (3%) very good partial response, 14 (47%) partial responses, and 5 (17%) minimal responses. Among the other 5 patients, 4 (13%) had stable disease. To date, 5 patients have shown progressive disease after 1-14 months of follow-up. The median number of cycles was 6 (1-8). Seven patients experienced grade 3 adverse events and one patient with a prior history of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis developed a grade 4 toxicity (shortness of breath). The most common grade 3 adverse event was reversible neutropenia (n=2). To date, only 8 patients (24%) have developed peripheral neuropathy and all were grade 1 except in two patients (grade 2 [n=1] and grade 3 [n=1]). Notably, there have been no cases of stomatitis and only 2 cases of hand-foot syndrome (both grade 1).
Conclusions: Thus, these results suggest that the DVD regimen using this modified schedule and doses of these drugs is well tolerated and produces high response rates for previously untreated MM patients.

The View co-host appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday for a hearing to determine if her ex-husband Jeffrey Tarpley's petition for temporary physical custody of their son Jeffrey, 9, would be approved or denied.
Judge Michelle Williams ruled against Tarpley's request, citing that "there has not been a material change in circumstances," according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
In his declaration, filed on April 2, Tarpley claimed that Shepherd was neglecting their son through "poor parenting choices and refusal to provide for our child's immediate needs."
Tarpley cited Shepherd's busy work schedule as the main reason for her alleged neglect, stating that her "career is seven days per week non-stop."
"I stand behind my character and integrity," Shepherd told PEOPLE in June. "You can't hold me down – I'm a wonderful mama."
In May, it was also revealed that Shepherd and estranged husband Lamar Sally had split, and that a custody battle was brewing over their unborn child via surrogate. That case remains unresolved.

Dear Miss Manners: I've sent nearly all my Christmas letters out this year by email (hard copies to those whose email addresses I don't have). A friend said this was impersonal; however, he also said that he and his wife had culled their list considerably.
My list was nearly tripled. Who would you say was more "impersonal," one who "touched" three times more of their friends, or those who touched far fewer of their friends than they did just last year?
Gentle Reader: You are being more impersonal. Sorry.
Quantity is easy with email – only too easy, Miss Manners believes. Everybody's inbox is cluttered with polemics, jokes, warnings and copies of memos that concern only the primary addressee. The only touching going on here is your finger on Send All and perhaps the recipients' fingers on Delete.
In contrast, your friends are presumably culling their lists in the interest of quality, dropping the exchanges that have, over time, become meaningless. Miss Manners submits that saving others from having to wonder, "Who on earth are these people – I don't know them, do you?" is a form of thoughtfulness.
Paying wedding tab
Dear Miss Manners: When enough money is put into a wedding envelope to cover your meals, drinks and extra for bride and groom, and your meal is not up to standard or good, how do you handle this? Do you let someone know, and who? Or do you just forget it and say nothing, so you don't hurt anyone's feelings?
Gentle Reader: Oh, dear. Miss Manners really shouldn't be surprised at this, although that doesn't lessen the shock.
It is, after all, the natural outcome of the false, vulgar and widespread idea that wedding guests are supposed to pay for their meals through the money-laundering system of calling their payments wedding presents.
If you were, in fact, contracting to buy a meal from a commercial establishment, you would be right to complain. But instead, you accepted the hospitality of people about whom you presumably care enough to attend their wedding and present them with a token of your affection. If not, you should not have gone. But you did, so you have no right to complain.
Still in mourning
Dear Miss Manners: How does one reply to an invitation while one is in mourning, from deep mourning to almost the end of a mourning period?
Gentle Reader: By thanking the would-be hosts and saying, "I'm not going out socially now; I'm in mourning." Miss Manners is afraid that you must keep repeating this while they lecture you about how the living must go on living, the deceased would have wanted you to go out, it's time to achieve closure, and so on. Please don't let it get to you.
Gifts are no surprise
Dear Miss Manners: My brother and I (who live in different cities) are exchanging gifts via the Internet. Each of us thought that the retailer we were ordering from would gift-wrap before shipping the selected gift to the other one's address, but it turned out not to be so.
Now we are each faced with having to wrap our own presents (we each live alone), then unwrapping them and pretending surprise. Not that we aren't up to the task, but we were wondering what is the proper etiquette for gift wrapping when sending gifts via Internet.
Gentle Reader: As you and your brother are old enough to live on your own, Miss Manners would think you would be old enough to dispense with the charade of faking surprise on Christmas Day. If not, she suggests that you leave all pre-Christmas packages unopened in their mailing wrappings until then.

From Yverdon-les-Bains on Lake Neuchâtel, a road and narrow-gauge railway lead to Sainte-Croix which lies around 20 kilometres away; it lies a similar distance from the French border town of Pontarlier.
In 1796 the Geneva-based watchmaker Antoine Favre invented the music box. From 1811 until the end of the 19th century, Sainte-Croix developed to become the world centre for music box manufacturers and nickelodeons. The manufacture of these works of art was carried out to perfection here. Today, two museums present these melodious handicraft items: the CIMA Music Box and Nickelodeon Museum in Sainte-Croix, and the Baud Museum in nearby L'Auberson exhibit unique collections.
The small centre of Sainte-Croix and the resort of Les Rasses form a wide network of beautiful walking trails across Jura meadows and through fir woods. Four marked routes extending to a length of 84 kilometres are provided for mountain bikers. Sainte-Croix is also situated on the Jura Route of the 'Cycling in Switzerland' national route network. Walkers and cyclists appreciate the numerous 'Alpine huts', which have been enlarged into small hostelries offering local products and specialities.
In winter, visitors are primarily attracted by the excellent cross-county skiing opportunities afforded by the Jura landscape. The marked and well-tended network of ski trails around Sainte-Croix measures 80 kilometres and is linked to the adjoining cross-country trail networks in the Neuenburg canton and France.
A small snow sports region above Les Rasses on the slopes of the Chasseron awaits skiers. 9 smaller lift facilities provide access to easy and medium difficulty downhill pistes which are especially suited to families. This region also has the largest night skiing area in western Switzerland.
- CIMA Museum in Sainte Croix – music boxes and other musical instruments, each of the them masterpieces of precision engineering and marquetry.
- Baud Museum in L'Auberson – museum with older nickelodeons, of which many can still be played.
- Yverdon thermal baths – wellness and a spa resort at the nearby Lake Neuchâtel.
- Grandson Castle – magnificently sited with views across Lake Neuchâtel, this castle dates from the 13th century and houses collections of arms and armour and an automobile museum.

The Knicks were a charter organization of the Basketball Association of America in 1946. Success wasn't hard to come by for New York in the early years, making the playoffs in each of the franchise's first 10 seasons and reaching the finals three times. In the late 1960s New York embarked on perhaps the franchise's greatest era. Red Holzman was hired as the head coach in 1967 and constructed a team that would compete with the NBA's elites. With a roster of eventual Hall-of-Famers in Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley and eventually Earl Monroe and Jerry Lucas, the Knicks won the NBA championship in the 1969-70 season. Emblematic of that season is the image of Reed limping onto the court to start Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers despite his debilitating leg injury. During the 1972-73 season the Knicks captured their second of two championships, once more at the expense of the Lakers. After winning the draft lottery and landing Patrick Ewing in the 1985 draft, the Knicks again experienced a stretch of success, reaching the NBA finals in 1994 and 1999. The Knicks have retired the numbers of eight players and retired the number 613 for Holzman. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for New York Knicks basketball tickets.

The expectations for the New York Knicks were not high coming into last season. In Phil Jackson's third year as the Knicks general manager. improvements were made as they moved from 5th to 3rd in the Atlantic division. Coming into the 2016-2017 season, there have been many roster changes through free agency and trades of strong players. The New York Knicks have brought in point guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah from the Bulls to contribute to a new look for their starting lineup. Both Rose and Noah are expected to take the Knicks into the playoffs if they can stay healthy even though they have experienced recent injuries. Returning starters Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis will also be a crucial part when combined with the new roster additions. Phil Jackson has said that for a successful 2016-2017 season the Knicks' team will need to unite after all these changes and play as a team, not as individuals. Whether you are planning on cheering on the New York Knicks at home or on the road, TicketCity has some of the best deals for Knicks' tickets.
The Knicks play their home games at Madison Square Garden, located in New York, New York. Noted as the world's most famous arena, "MSG" holds almost 20,000 screaming Knicks fans when filled to capacity. At the end of a massive renovation project, The Garden's hallways are lined with memorable moments in the arena's illustrious history. The New York Knicks home bench is on the MSG court side in front of section 6. Madison Square Garden parking information is covered in our Knicks event guide.
Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat
As two of the three remaining teams from the original 1946 NBA, this rivalry has more history than any other in the league. With over 445 regular season matchups and another 65+ playoff meetings, these two iconic franchises have seen it all when they meet up. A rivalry that is built off mutual respect, this matchup will only continue to add to the impressive history in the years to come.
With close proximity between the two teams when the Nets played in New Jersey, this rivalry became one of the more intense matchups in the NBA. With the Nets moving closer to Brooklyn, this rivalry will only take off. Bragging rights and hostility between the fan bases has been a staple of this matchup and that will only continue with both franchises battling for New York supremacy.
These two teams have met every season since 1966, but evolved into one of the top rivalries in the NBA in the late 1980s and early 1990s when both teams competed for an NBA title on a regular basis. The two teams often met in the playoffs during that stretch and with iconic players like Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing gracing the court, it was no surprise that this became one of the better rivalries. This rivalry has picked up steam in recent years with both teams having success again.
A rivalry that has been built on physical play, this matchup has been a staple in the NBA. With four consecutive playoff meetings in the mid-90s, the stakes are often at its highest when these two teams play. This rivalry intensified when legendary head coach Pat Riley became the leader of the Heat after serving in the same role with the Knicks for many seasons.
The Knicks are one of the more legendary franchises in NBA history. As a member of the league for over 60 years and playing in an iconic arena like Madison Square Garden, it is hard to find many organizations that match the history of the Knicks. New York has won multiple NBA championships to go along with their 7+ conference championships.
Gates at Madison Square Garden open to the general public an hour before tipoff. MSG is one of the most iconic sporting venues in the entire country and seats are filled with celebrities, politicians, dignitaries, and die-hard Knicks fans. Seeing a game here is equal parts sporting event and spectacle and is one of the few places that it is well worth it to arrive even before the doors are set to open.
TicketCity offers a big selection of New York Knicks tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Knicks tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee Eastern Conference opponents, like the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics Chicago Bulls, and Brooklyn Nets can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer best opportunity to purchase Knicks tickets near face value.
Asking where good places to eat in New York City are is like asking where leaves grow on trees. If you are looking for the quintessential American food, try Shake Shack just a few blocks away. Penn 6 is very close and perfect for sports fans that are also foodies, as they have a sophisticated menu and plenty of flat screens to watch the pre-game hype. New York is known for its pizza, New York Pizza Suprema is close to MSG and worth visiting. Don't be afraid to try some street vendors, or just walk into a restaurant nearby, its New York City, chances are you won't be disappointed.
The Knicks 2016-2017 schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the NBA. The Knicks play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference, which means games against the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Toronto Raptors. Game times are announced by the NBA as soon as the TV schedule is set. New York's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. If you are looking for Knicks news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official New York Knicks team roster.
The thing about parking at MSG is that there isn't any; don't drive. The arena sits on top of Penn Station giving you the perfect (and only legitimate) the subway. There are some parking garages in the area not associated with MSG, but you have to have an expensive pre-paid pass, fight through NYC traffic both ways, and it is really much more trouble than it is worth. Take the subway, start some cheers with the other Knicks fans, and have a great time.
This is a unique arena in that eating food at the game is a must. There are the typical hot dog, nachos, and comfort foods that you cannot go wrong with. But we recommend trying some of the specialties. Hill Country has a barbeque stand inside that is so good it is worth spilling a little sauce on your Knicks jersey just to have a taste. Daily Burger is another stand that is worth visiting and is among the best burgers you can eat at a sporting event. Sausage Boss and The Ainsworth Pub are also worth checking out.
New York season tickets are available to buy until tipoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Knicks season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Madison Square Garden.

Is the man who would be king tired of waiting his turn?
Speculation reigned in Great Britain this weekend after Prince Charles spoke of his "impatience" at an event to promote his 64th birthday at Dumfries House, a once-stately residence that the royal has worked to rehabilitate and save for his country.
"Impatient? Me? What a thing to suggest! Yes, of course I am," joked the Prince who passed his great-great grandfather Edward VII as the longest-waiting heir in his nation's history. "I'll run out of time soon. I shall have snuffed it if I'm not careful."
His mother, Queen Elizabeth, has served her country for 60 years and remains in good health at 86. Her own mother lived in be 101 in a genetic predisposition for longevity that could see Prince Charles cooling his heels for years longer as his sons, Princes William and Harry, grab the spotlight.
Although the Prince made his remarks as he was commenting at the Dumfries House gathering, royal observers say while he has praised his mother's longevity, it isn't the first time the prince has quipped about ascending the throne while he's still youthful.
British newspapers, in reporting his Dumfries House comments, noted that in 1992, when Prince Charles attended a funeral for his then father-in-law Earl Spencer, he confided to his brother-in-law Charles Spencer: "You are fortunate enough to have succeeded to the title when still young."
Prince Charles Is Impatient to Be King – Or Is He Joking?

Bradley Manning spent his 23rd birthday on Friday completely isolated, just as he has every day for the last 5 months months in his cell at the Quantico Marine Base. Manning is the Marine Private accused of leaking classified documents to Wikileaks. Since July, he has been held in cruel and inhumane conditions like violent, dangerous criminals in a Supermax prison. He spends each day completely isolated, with severe restrictions placed on basic activities like sleep and exercise. Yet he has not been convicted of any crime. The extreme isolation in which Manning has spent every day of the last 5 months is grueling. It's already taking its toll: Bradley Manning's physical and mental health are suffering, according to his attorney and friends who have seen him in prison. Bradley Manning deserves humane treatment while he awaits trial. And all it tookis one p-i-s-s-ant official.

RALSTON - Gas companies may be a prevalent force in the area, but some local people are joining forces to try to stop drilling from a certain section of state forest here.
They are planning to show support for the Rock Run watershed section of the Loyalsock State Forest, which they say is being threatened by drilling, by gathering at the Ralston Fire Co. to stage a "Keep it Wild" event at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
"We want to draw attention to the fact that this beautiful area ... is going to have gas development in the general vicinity (of Rock Run)," said Ralph Kisberg, president of the board of the Responsible Drilling Alliance.

Rock Run splashes its way across some rocks near Old Loggers Path and Yellow Dog Road in Loyalsock State Forest.
Kisberg said that the stream and green scenery is the "area's gem." He added: "We don't think it's the right place for it."
When asked about the situation in the area, Christina Novak, press secretary for the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, said there is not yet any drilling activity at Rock Run.
But in an email Novak went on to say that there is no way of knowing what will happen in the Rock Run area in the future.
"In this area, there is a complex combination of publicly and privately owned surface and subsurface rights, so at the moment there is no definitive answer about what will occur in the future," she said.
With an uncertain future for the area, the group of concerned citizens will meet behind the fire company Saturday. From there the group will walk into the section of forest to see the sights and to show what they are fighting for.
"We want to meet in Ralston and get some people together that feel that this area is off-limits to gas development. This should be the last place it occurs," Kisberg said.
Jeff Mitchell, of Tunkhannock, has visited the area many times and said it's one of his favorite places.
"It's a very special place," he said. "The pools are absolutely crystal clear ... It's really, really exceptional."
Taking her classes to Rock Run plenty of times, Lynn Estomin, an art professor at Lycoming College, is concerned about the area as her students use the scenery for assignments.
"Rock Run is a place where we have taken art students to photograph and paint for over 20 years and to think that there's going to be oil rigs and not waterfalls is devastating," she said.
Estomin went on to say that the peaceful setting is what kept her from leaving the area.
"One of the reasons that I stayed in this area is it's a beautiful area. Otherwise I would be living in the bigger cities with more culture," Estomin said.
Kisberg mentioned that he's met people who have traveled three hours to enjoy the area.
"It has its value," he said. "You feel the experience is degraded when you go to areas ... that are being developed (for gas drilling). That changes that experience."
Kisberg said families and friends hike in the area and camp. He added that anyone who has used the trails or streams are who he represents.
"This is really an important area because it's as remote as we get. There are people out there (who care) and we want to represent those people," he said.
All agreed that the residents and visitors would be losing an "exceptional" piece of the area if the forest was drilled.
Mitchell said the remoteness would be lost, along with trees and wildlife. He also said that road conditions would worsen from more traffic.
"(The area) would be losing water. It would be losing scenery. It would be losing privacy," Estomin said. "It would be tearing up the roads. You would be seeing rigs instead of trees."
Kisberg said the group isn't there to start trouble but to give their opinion on the situation.
"You just want your voice heard that this is wrong," he said. "What we would like to see is the negotiation between DCNR and gas companies involved be public and have public comments."
Estomin said the Rock Run area needs the public's support.
"I encourage people to come out. It's one of the special places in the area and something that I feel we have the responsibility to save and preserve," she said.
"I hope it's preserved. I'm not against gas drilling but I just think that some places should be set aside and preserved for future generations," Mitchell added.

I recently discovered a wonderful newish shop in not far from where I live. It's full of all kinds of fun treasures from fabric to vintage glassware, buttons, etc. Pretty much right up my ally, eh? So much pretty, all in one place. I love pictures of inspiring spaces, so I thought I'd snap a few to share here.
The shop is called Harmony and is located in an beautifully preserved, 130 yr-old home in downtown Provo, Utah.

Home as in the description, very comfortable, along with the metro and very easy to reach. Quiet neighborhood with supermarkets bars and restaurants very close to the house. Recommended.
Casa come nella descrizione, molto confortevole, avanti alla metro e molto facile da raggiungere. Quartiere tranquillo con supermercati bar e ristoranti molto vicini all'abitazione. Consigliata.
House clean and perfect .... great kitchen bathrooms and bedrooms. Well positioned allows you to move right to the city 'walk, boat or metro'. Too bad for windows that do not have a nice view, but just a few steps, and 'in the middle of the Latin Quarter. Great experience!!
Casa pulita e perfetta....ottimi la cucina i bagni e le camere.
Ben posizionata permette di muoversi bene per la citta' a piedi, battello o metro'.
Peccato per le finestre che non hanno una bella vista, ma bastano pochi gradini e si e' in mezzo al quartiere latino. Ottima esperienza!!!!
The Duplex is in an excellent location for visiting Paris with easy access to the whole city. The unit is very well maintained and clean. You have to go up one set of stairs to the first floor before you are able to take an two person elevator to the actual unit. The beds are a little on the hard side but OK. The unit has one nice sized shower and a large tub in one of the bathrooms. We had six people in the unit and it took us a few days to figure out a shower schedule so that we all had hot water, but we got it worked out. We would recommend purchasing a couple of fans if you are going to be there when it is hot there is no A/C in the unit. The street the unit is on is one of the main walking streets in Paris at night, it is very busy, which is nice as there is alot of places to eat and things to see, but it also has it draw backs as there is noise at night.
The apartment is beautifully located between the Seine and near the Pantheon, next door shop, bakery around the corner, near restaurants and two metro stops. All comfort in kitchen and bathroom. The flat is very dark because you only have a view of two tiny courtyards. You should always turn on the light. There are not really two separate bedrooms. There is a sofa bed in the living room of lesser quality. The bathroom is connected to the only real bedroom. The apartment is suitable for two couples so, perhaps have a family, though our kids slept badly on the sofa bed.
Het appartement is schitterend gelegen, tussen de Seine en de buurt van het Pantheon, winkeltje naast de deur, bakker om de hoek, vlakbij restaurants en twee metrohaltes. Alle comfort in keuken en badkamer. De flat is wel erg donker omdat je alleen maar uitzicht hebt op twee hele kleine binnenplaatsen. Je moet altijd het licht aansteken. Er zijn ook niet echt twee aparte slaapkamers. Er staat een divanbed van mindere kwaliteit in de woonkamer. De badkamer is verbonden met de enige echte slaapkamer. De flat is niet geschikt voor twee stellen dus, eventueel wel voor een gezin, al hebben onze kinderen slecht geslapen op het divanbed.
Dear Diane,
Overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay very much in your apartment. My only complaint is that I could not reach anyone by telephone when I had a question. Only an answering machine in French which I tried to respond to but was not successful.
Also, it would have been helpful to have instructions in English for how to use th washing machine. Otherwise it was very nice. Very nice renovation and very clean, most importantly. Thank you, Gaylyn Greiner
The apartment is very well located. It is steps away from Notre Dame. It was clean and orderly as shown in the pictures. It is located on a very busy night life street so gets noisey at night and stays noisey until very late. In fact, in the same building on the street level is a guy strip club which attracts a lot of excited and drunk girls which stays open until 4AM. It is also close to the busy street along the river whichs producers a lot of highway noise. If you can close the windows and block out the noise it is great.
Location is very good. Located in Paris and quiet. Subways nearby. Service very good. Resolve problems as quickly. Cozy apartment like a hotel room.
Lage sehr gut. Mitten in Paris und trotzdem ruhig. U-Bahnen in der Nähe.
Betreuung sehr gut. Probleme werden rasch behoben. Wohnung gemütlicher wie ein Hotelzimmer.
This is a great little apartment in the centre of Paris. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. It is very quiet. Close to the metro and within reasonable walking distance from Notre Dame. There are perhaps prettier areas of Paris, but for the price, it is good value for money.
found the apartment in excellent condition, not missing anything. Pleased all our expectations.
encontramos el apartamento en excelentes condiciones, no faltaba de nada. Complació todas nuestras expectativas.
Great apartment. Very clean and excellent location. Close to metro, easy walking to many sights. Staff was responsive and quick to attend to our needs. Would stay here again! Only thing to consider in the heat of the summer is that with windows open it would be noisy from the street.

|Lensless X-Ray Imaging in Reflection
The advent of x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) light sources has led to an outburst of research activities in the field of lensless imaging. XFELs combine the advantages of sychrotron light sources (high brightness and x-ray wavelengths relevant to atomic and molecular phenomena) with the advantages of visible-light lasers (highly coherent beams). All of these characteristics are important for coherent x-ray diffraction imaging—lensless imaging techniques that are proving to be integral to single-shot, high-resolution imaging of both complex materials and biological samples. Existing techniques are typically designed for transmission geometry, however, and use isolated objects, requiring special sample fabrication and restricting the type of samples under investigation. Recently, researchers from the ALS and the University of Oregon have shown at ALS Beamline 12.0.2 that it is possible to form x-ray holograms in reflection geometry by using the light scattered from a sample, opening the door to lensless imaging of a wealth of new material samples.
Complex interplay between spin, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom in materials often gives rise to multifunctional properties and exotic phases. A few examples among many include spin/orbital ordering in colossal magnetorersistive materials and helical ordering of spins that gives rise to chiral vortex phases ("skyrmions") in magnetic systems. The ability to directly image the Bragg planes or surfaces where such order emerges would be a great boon to understanding how these phases develop and how they affect material properties, but there has been no easy way to perform such measurements. While many specimens can be prepared to work in transmission, others—particularly in materials physics—will require samples that are both extended and nontransmissive. The development of an imaging technique suitable for extended objects in reflection geometry is therefore imperative.
In ordinary imaging, a lens produces an image of an object by manipulating and reconstructing the phase and amplitude relationships of the optical light rays scattered from the object. In lensless imaging, the x-rays scattered from an object form a diffraction pattern that retains information about the amplitudes, but not the phases. To obtain a reconstruction of the object, a solution to this "phase problem" is required. While difficult, recovering the missing phase in a suitably oversampled diffraction pattern can be accomplished through iterative computational techniques. Alternatively, introducing a planar reference wave into the scattering leads to a unique encoding of the phase, and the sample can then be reconstructed by a single Fourier transform; this is known as Fourier transform holography. The problem of getting sufficiently coherent x-rays onto and off of the sample in a manner consistent with either technique has prevented the use of coherent imaging techniques with reflective samples.
Researchers working at Beamline 12.0.2 have solved this problem by placing a screen containing a set of apertures in the near field downstream of the scattering object. The screen splits the scattered signal into object and reference waves that interfere in the far field and are recorded on a detector (a holographic recording). When the reference apertures are made very small, the reference wave can be considered planar and the detected image can be inverted with a single Fourier transform. When the reference apertures are somewhat larger, the speckle pattern is inverted using iterative techniques. Once the phase and amplitude information of the light rays at the apertures has been recovered, it is numerically back-propagated to the sample surface, revealing the final reconstructed image—a two-dimensional hologram.
This new technique can use an extended sample as in a conventional scattering experiment without the need for special sample preparation and can give an image in a single shot, providing the framework to perform high-throughput imaging experiments. Combining holography with ultrafast dynamic experiments will open up the possibility of real-time direct observation of surface or interface dynamics.

The queen of color design is sharing her latest technique using some of her favorite tools including long foils, unique patterns and special Joico color formulas. Beth Minardi, spokesperson for Joico Vero K-Pak Color and owner of Minardi Salon in NYC, selected an Asian model, sporting some of the toughest hair to lift, to demonstrate that this type of hair can and does offer multiple interesting color possibilities. "Limiting Asian women to burgundy or black is over," she says. "It's time to think lighter, brighter and warmer without creating damage or garish results." Minardi acknowledges there are challenges to lifting this natural shade. "Technically it's a daunting task," she says. "It's not enough to get the hair light. Toning is important. Remember, it's not the formula, but it's the way it is applied, processed and placed."

A North Tonawanda homicide victim died from a combination of blunt- and sharp-force trauma to the head and neck, North Tonawanda police revealed Monday.
Police also said they still are looking for the car belonging to 34-year-old Heather M. Rylowicz, whose body was found in her Lincoln Avenue home Wednesday.
Authorities aren't saying what weapon or weapons they believe were used in the killing.
"There were two different types of injuries," Police Chief Randy Szukala said. "Either one could have been the cause of death. They couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of death."
Police have charged Brian C. Lowry, 32, with second-degree murder. He has been described as an acquaintance of Rylowicz's.
Anyone with information about her car, a green 2008 Ford Taurus station wagon, is asked to call North Tonawanda police at 692-4312.

The medicine sure didn't taste good going down, but it's starting to look like a few years worth of redemptive regulations and closed seasons are restoring good health to the local snapper-grouper fishery.
Though folks in the environmental and conservation sectors would rightly point out the work left to be done on many fish stocks, there are signs that heading into 2013, things are looking up.
The quick-changing world of fisheries management wound down this year with the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council hearing good news about vermilion snapper and setting the stage for a continued, albeit limited, red snapper fishery next year.
The council, which sets regulations for fishing offshore of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and east Florida, met earlier this month in Wilmington, N.C.
"There was good news concerning vermilion snapper," SAFMC member Tom Swatzel told The Post and Courier after the meeting. "The recent stock assessment update determined that vermilion are not overfished or experiencing overfishing.
"As a result, the council is taking action through a regulatory amendment, expected to be implemented next summer, which would increase the total vermilion annual catch limit (ACL) by about 240,000 pounds, or 25 percent. The ACL increase could result in removing the recreational season closure for vermilion and/or increasing the bag limit."
As currently managed, the recreational fishery for vermilion closes Nov. 1 and reopens April 1, and anglers are allowed 5 per person per day with a minimum total length of 12 inches.
The SAFMC also appears ready to continue limited commercial and recreational fishing for red snapper. After years of closed fishery, regulators allowed limited catches of red snapper in 2012 during short recreational and commercial seasons.
This month, the council approved an amendment that specifies a commercial season beginning on the second Monday in July, with the length to be determined by the annual catch limit. The recreational season would begin on the second Friday in July and consist of consecutive weekends only (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
NOAA Fisheries will complete an analysis each year estimating the length of the recreational red snapper fishing season and then announce the recreational limits and opening of the season.
The end of the recreational season will be set and announced before the start of the recreational season, the SAFMC said in a press release.
The recreational season will not open if the projected season length is three days or less.
The council's amendment establishes a commercial trip limit of 75 pounds (gutted weight), eliminates the minimum size limit for both commercial and recreational sectors, and sets a bag limit of one red snapper per person per day in the recreational fishery.
Council members also backed a plan to remove a controversial "trigger" provision that has been cutting short the commercial fleet's shallow-water grouper fishery.
An earlier measure required the commercial fleet to stop fishing for all types of grouper — gag, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind, yellowmouth grouper, yellowfin grouper, graysby, and coney — once the commercial catch limit for gag was met.
This measure, which was originally implemented to help reduce bycatch of gag, triggered a commercial-sector closure for shallow-water grouper on Oct. 20. That closure, coupled with a four-month spawning season closure from January through April, effectively closes the commercial fishery until May 2013.
The council's actions on the gag trigger shouldn't affect recreational anglers, who still must abide by the spawning season closure, which starts Jan. 1 and runs through April.
So if you're hoping to take advantage of the increasing number of grouper out there, you'd better squeeze in a trip before the new year.

Early learners:
grades PreK–1
Many girls develop language skills earlier than boys. Encourage this interest in verbal and written expression, but don't neglect to nurture your girl's spatial and math skills, too. Encouraging her to take smart risks – physically and emotionally – will help her become self-assured and ready for school.
Elementary students:
grades 2–5
Girls receive countless messages – from caregivers, peers, teachers, and the media – to be emotionally expressive, collaborative, and friendly, while suppressing their aggression and solving conflicts through indirect means. Encourage positive inter-personal behavior while empowering your girl to be assertive, self-confident, and strong. Intervene when you see girls acting "mean" to each other or engaging in other relational aggression like exclusion or gossip.
& young adults:
grades 6–12
The media's portrayal of women and girls still relies on outdated stereotypes and unrealistic expectations about body image and behavior. It also de- emphasizes women in powerful and untraditional careers. Counteract these messages by modeling healthy habits that help your girl stay active. Connect her to opportunities in science and technology fields, and introduce her to strong, inspirational female mentors. Encourage her to create her own media to show the world the way she wants it to be.
ages 18+
Remember that kids take media at face value, so it's up to you to help your daughter think about, criticize, and combat messages that don't represent her (or you). By doing so, you emphasize the importance of her perspective and the power to share narratives that are real.

Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
A quick look at how the rotation might shake out the rest of the season.
August 20th vs. Reds - Ted Lilly
August 21st vs. Reds - Carlos Zambrano
August 22nd vs. Nationals - Jason Marquis
August 23rd vs. Nationals - Ryan Dempster
August 24th vs. Nationals - Rich Harden
August 25th @ Pirates - Ted Lilly
August 26th @ Pirates - Carlos Zambrano
August 27th @ Pirates - Jason Marquis
August 28th vs. Phillies - Ryan Dempster
August 29th vs. Phillies - Rich Harden
August 30th vs. Phillies - Ted Lilly
August 31st vs. Phillies - Carlos Zambrano
Septemeber 1st vs. Astros - Jason Marquis
September 2nd vs. Astros - Ryan Dempster
September 3rd vs. Astros - Rich Harden
September 4th - Off Day
September 5th @ Reds - Ted Lilly
September 6th @ Reds - Carlos Zambrano
September 7th @ Reds - Jason Marquis
September 8th - Off Day
September 9th @ Cardinals- Ryan Dempster
September 10th @ Cardinals- Rich Harden
September 11th @ Cardinals- Ted Lilly
September 12th @ Astros- Carlos Zambrano
September 13th @ Astros- Jason Marquis
September 14th @ Astros- Ryan Dempster
September 15th - Off Day
September 16th vs. Brewers - Rich Harden
September 17th vs. Brewers - Ted Lilly
September 18th vs. Brewers- Carlos Zambrano
September 19th vs. Cardinals - Jason Marquis
September 20th vs. Cardinals - Ryan Dempster
September 21th vs. Cardinals - Rich Harden
September 22nd @ Mets - Ted Lilly
September 23rd @ Mets - Carlos Zambrano
September 24th @ Mets - Jason Marquis
September 25th @ Mets - Ryan Dempster
September 26th @ Brewers - Rich Harden
September 27th @ Brewers - Ted Lilly
September 28th @ Brewers - Carlos Zambrano
That is of course assuming no rainouts or injuries or Lou shuffling the rotation. He can always throw Sean Marshall a spot start in there to move things around. You have to admit it does work out quite nicely for us if the last series ends up meaning anything. Even the series at home versus the Brewers gets us two of our big three and they'd miss Marquis. If it does shake down just like that, it means eight more starts for Lilly and Zambrano and seven more for the rest. Their games started totals if that happens:
Lilly -34
Dempster - 33
Zambrano - 32
Marquis - 29
Harden - 14 (as a Cub), 27 total
The Cubs magic number is 28 for a playoff spot and 31 for the division.
EDIT: Messed up the Mets and Brewers series at the end there and thought it was a 4-game set versus the Brewers, as opposed to a 4-game set versus the Mets. It should be fixed now and it would set up the Cubs to have Harden, Lilly and Zambrano against the Brewers in both series in September.
woo...hairston, who was rushed back before he was ready to be a 4th OF that wasn't even able to play the OF much, is back on the DL.
CIN back to 3 OF'rs on the roster unless they make another move.
duncan's handling of the roster personnel, especially post-griff, has been atrocious.
not that it matters besides the quality of the team they march on the field at this point, though...dont see a playoff in their future.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
I would think that Z will be slated to start Game 1 of the playoffs. Especially if the cubs wrap up before the 28th.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
If Cubs have the best record in the NL this year, they will get the choice of starting the playoff series on Tuesday or wednesday. I would think that would only really matter against the Dbacks if WWebb needs to pitch during the final weekend of the year, but it could give the Cubs a better ability to set the staff exactly how they want.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Dempter and Harden have been the most consistant. Big Z needs to put his ego aside.
Get ready for a CenturyPeat !
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Harden doesn't give up any runs. How can you not make him your !?
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Because if he can't come back on short rest, there is little point to pitching him in Game 1.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
This is the same logic as saving Big Z for game 4 in the playofs last year. Harden could come back they are just watching him during the season.
Either way they are winning it this year. CenturyPeat!!!
Re: Hairston
It's always something with H(GH)airston. He had a miraculous recovery from a "broken thumb" earlier this year. Only two weeks on the DL. Wow, who needs PED's if you heal that fast?! Now it's supposed to be a chronic hamstring problem.
Early last week Dusty said he was thinking about putting Jerry on the DL,--he didn't. Then Tuesday he said Hairston wasn't quite ready to play centerfield yet even though he wanted to. Two days later he was his starting shortstop. Makes you think that Hairston was managing Dusty, not the other way around.
Re: Hairston
hairston's issue he cleared up this year was his back that's limited him for years.
if hairston wasn't so needed...actually, an OF'r needed...he would probably be properly healed and playing by now.
injuries to the reds OF and trades netted no OF player returns for the reds that are mlb-ready. this is a team that's gone about 2 months without a game-ready 4th OF'r. the minors OF prospects...which the reds were once flush with...are now pretty bare.
i dunno if jocketty is more interested in gutting the team and bringing up the gems to showcase or actually fielding a team. going into the season they had a relatively solid as hell team (on paper). how they've responded to injuries has been worse than their already shakey defense.
Re: Hairston
patterson's been a starter because of all this.
i wasn't gonna go into that, but well...yeah. he fell into the doghouse long ago. he played most of april...a little less of may...then fell into spot start/bench duty until the injuries and trades-without-replacements showed.
on a healthy/stocked team he'd probably still be working his way toward 175-200abs rather than passing 250abs with not much of an end in sight.
Re: Hairston
We have 4 OF at IOWA that would upgrade the Cincy OF. Pie, Torres, DuBois, and Kroger. ANY of them would be starting over Patterson or the other guy (not Jay Bruce).
5 if you count Hoffpauir.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
9/25 @ Mets (not Brewers)
I expect Lou will change things up at some point, if for no other reason than just to change things up. But, it does look good for the last 2 weeks.
Astros getting killed by Walks today against MIL
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Gagne gets out of bases loaded no out jam with 2 pitches.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
According to ESPN.com, divisional series behin on Wed. 10/1....and according to other things I have read, the best team in the NL gets to choose the "A" or "B" schedule for the first round. If I remember correctly, I believe meaning the Cubs could start on Thu 10/2
Either way, even if Harden is needed on Friday 9/26, he could still start game 1 on regular rest.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
The issue isn't game 1... it is game 4 and 5. You want to be able to have the option of having your top starters pitching 2 games in the series. If Harden can't come back on short rest, it doesn't make sense to pitch him in the first 2 games of the series.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
oops, my bad.
But if the "Cubs chooses the schedule starting on day 1, wouldn't that allow Harden to pitch game 4 on regular rest with 2 off days early in the series?
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Last year the Red Sox got to choose their playoff schedule.
I'll try to find links on that.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
s.marshall, j.lieber, or some sept. callup fodder can start the game if the cubs got it wrapped up by then.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Way to jinx the Cubs.
Can you predict the World Series rotation too?
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
You all need to line up so I can smack all of you! WTF are you doing talking about the playoffs???
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
at the very least his agent...the guy he gives 5-10%+ of his f'n paycheck to...should have gotten his ass to take care of that.
guess a september callup is out of the question =p
may not be that bad of a thing for him to miss his last 2 starts anyway. not a great way to part ways for the season, though.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
His agent is the great Scott Boras.
I think that might be the swan song for Pawelek's Cub career.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
i wouldn't go that far with it.
at most he ended his season missing 1-2 starts...1 of which he wouldn't be able to pitch because he didn't get his travel docs taken care of.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
Actually, he misses 0 starts because he isn't a starter. Wasn't a starter this year, wasn't a starter last year. In his second and third years in shortseason ball. And he hasn't even been a good reliever in shortseason ball.
There are other "attitude" questions surrounding him [and rumblings of more that haven't made it to the media], I think this was basically a case of the Cubs being fed up with him.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
i thought he was on a "game starting" few IP stretch at this point.
wonder what the plan is for the kid. either way there's about a week and 1/2 of the year left anyway.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
Yeah, I was refering to 2007 and 2008. He was starting in 2005 in the AZL after being drafted and while started his first full season in the system in the NWL. He put up good numbers and looked like a good prospect. Then the bottom fell out. He started two games this season and looked horrid. Then he went into that piggybacking "reliever who gets starter innings" that so many AZL/NWL guys are on and was horrid and since then, his innings have dropped. It was the same thing last year when he repeated the NWL.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
I don't get it. All he needs to get into Canada is a driver's license and a birth certificate.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
that changed this year.
Re: Mark Pawelek sent home
I was in Canada last year on an Alaska cruise, but I forgot, Pawelek was going up there to work so he has more hoops to jump through. He needed more than just a passport.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Wow - if that's true, then he could be in deep doo - doo next year. Sounds like something else could be behind this.
Re: Cubs Pitching Rotation Down The Stretch
Of course there is more. If Josh Vitters or Jose Ceda forgot his passport, I doubt they would tell him to go home. To tell that to a player, it's clearly the "last straw". Unless they bury the hatchet in the off season, he is probably done as a Cub. If he had a future, they would have dealt with it when they got back from Canada.
Does anyone have more on the attitude issues?

Guess which one is Vogelberg
Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.

Oh my! Cards down 2-1 to Reds in the bottom of the 9th -- get a leadoff triple -- and don't score!
Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...
Phil, thanks for posting. Where do find the schedule? I have a condo in Surprise, yet I drove to Mesa and Tempe looking for a game today! Thanks!
Dear Baseball Gods--
My trip to Chicago has nothing whatsoever to do with the Cubs. In actuality, I am a Red Sox fan.
Well, if Strop had to give up a run...at least he hit Sean Rodriguez to do it.

In most drum 'n' bass tracks - there is what is known as a 'drop'. A double drop is where the DJ manages to get both records (or maybe more) to reach that drop at exactly the same time - thus creating an intense mix.
"Check that out, he just double dropped both those tunes and the whole crowd went nuts!"

Can you define these popular missing words?
A scam where a waiter/waitress used the same check for two tables, one which was never entered into the system. They then pocket the cash from the table never really billed.
When the double dropped table asked why their drinks were incorrect, the waitress said she entered it wrong but they're the same price and that satisfied the customer keeping the scam secret.

All you need is this. http://www.quanthock...erGame.php#Calc
Ok, will do. You provide me a link which shows the number of goals scored from 1990/1991 through 2002/2003 (to determine Fedorov's stats) and another which gives the goals from 2001-2002 to 2011-2012 (to determine Datsyuk's) and I'll do the math right here.
Add up the average goals score per game during Fedorov's 13 years with the Wings and divide them by 13 and then add up the avg goals per game during Datsyuk's 10 yrs with the Wings and divide them by 10.
I would but I gotta git goin

Creative Commons license applied to contest-winning game, exemplifies lasting criteria
Tabletop games and the thousand-year game design challenge
Daniel Solis (@danielsolis), an art director by day and game designer by night, describes what sets ancient games apart from the ones sold in today's market. Beyond big boxes, colorful pieces, and lots of noise, ancient games employ three main criteria: access, elegance, and fun. Access—across language and geographic barriers. Elegance—applying a few rules that are easily understood but take a long time to master. And fun—we all know about that.
Solis tells us that while Chess is only 800 years old, older games like those from ancient Babylon are unplayable by us today: we simply don't know the rules! Interested by this, Solis started a challenge for anyone to create a game today that might still be played 1000 years from now. He asked contestants to use what he identifies as the base characteristics of long-lasting games: access, elegance, and fun.
The winner, James Ernest with Take Back Toe, went a step further: he licensed his game under Creative Commons, reminding players that long-lasting games encourage free sharing and collaborative learning.

I actually like your ideas about open (source) games :D
I am looking forward to WebGL and the modern WWW, to bring the spirit of openness to players and developers alike.
I study Game Design for Computers, and I am actually right now working on a System called GMS (launchpad.net/gms) ... its still mainly a draft: I think about it as a system for developers to develop games right in the browser, with WebGL and modern HTML5 features. What I dislike about all that WebGL trend that's coming, is that in the end mostly these open standards get used for closed commercial services (turbulenz, playcanvas, etc.) ... I/We try to stop that, and look forward to sharing, without barriers, even for closed source game developers, but we dont want to offer any support for these closed economic systems. We do it as a hobby, and still have to figure stuff ^^
For me, maybe the WWW/Internet helps to bring opensource forward, because it is open by nature ( at least when it does not run serverside ;) )
Thank you for your short presentation. I see that there is a desire =)
Daniel Solis ends his presentation with links to some CC licensed board games, RPGs and card games. If you're interested in a longer list, there's the FOSsil Bank:
Great article. I'm developing one of those replayable games that's easy to learn, fun to play, strategic and that can take a lifetime to master.
It's meant to become the chess of the future, as it's free, open source, browser based, playable on pretty much any device, for free.
It's called Ancient Beast; it would be really great to get more exposure for it and hopefully more contributors ^^ www.AncientBeast.com - keep in mind version 0.1 was released a month ago, so while the game is somewhat playable, it's limited, buggy and imbalanced atm, so keep an open mind.

Arthur F. Boelens, 89, of Annawan, died Sunday, March 17, 2013, at Hammond-Henry Hospital, Long Term Care. A funeral Mass was held Thursday, March 21 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Annawan. The Rev. Mark Miller officiated. Burial was in St. Anthony's Cemetery, Atkinson. A visitation was held Wednesday, March 20 at Vandemore Funeral Homes Ltd., Atkinson. Memorials may be left to Annawan-Alba Rescue Squad or Abilities Plus in Kewanee.
Art was born on March 19, 1923, in rural Bureau County, the son of Edward and Marie (VanVooren) Boelens. He married Irene P. Yarger on Sept. 12, 1945, at Visitation Catholic Church, Kewanee.
Art lived and worked on the same family farm in rural Annawan from the age of 5 until he retired in 1983. He enjoyed many of those years playing rolle bolle around the local area, winning the Western League Champion trophy in 1964. After retiring from farming, they moved to Annawan and he became an avid bicycler, participating in many tours in the Midwestern states, including RAGBRAI. In his 60s, he rode more than 40,000 miles just on one bicycle. He also spent many years enjoying woodworking and there are more than 100 wooden tulips blooming around the area.
In later years, he loved watching the birds from his favorite window. Art always enjoyed a family gathering and seeing friends. Spending fun times with his grandchildren was always a highlight in his day. He had a generous heart and always a warm smile for everyone he met. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Survivors include his wife of 67 years, Irene; his four children, Linda DeClercq of Greenbank, Wash., John (Jacqueline) Boelens of rural Annawan, Deborah (Ronn) Tubbs of Bradford and Don Boelens of Bettendorf, Iowa; seven grandchildren, Tina (Tony) Lopez, Heather (Adam) Rucker, Justin Boelens, Dr. Kelli Boelens, Jackson Boelens, Anna Boelens and John Franklin Boelens; one great granddaughter, Morgan O'Hara; and a brother, Cyriel Boelens of Ohio. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Caroline Marie Boelens (in infancy); a grandson, Aaron L.E. Tubbs; a great granddaughter, Jordan E. O'Hara (in infancy); a brother, Oscar Boelens; a sister, Zelma VanVooren; and a son-in-law, Sonny DeClercq.

"I was saying her name, because I was just certain he was going to say it, so I was like, 'Oh yeah, Kree, Kree, Kree,' and she was like, 'No, Candice, Candice, Candice,' " a stunned Glover told reporters shortly after Wednesday's American Idol finale.
In the end, Harrison was right. But while there is only one American Idol, these two women both found, in each other, a friend for life.
"We tell each other we love each other probably 90,000 times a day," Glover said. "But it really meant a lot for her to hug me and say, 'I love you, and I'm so happy for you.' And I said the same to her. I'm so proud of her."
For her part, Harrison was pinching herself just taking in the moment.
"Honestly, the whole night was magical," she said. "We kept looking at each other asking, 'What are we doing?' The fact that I kept looking down and seeing my whole family – my brother is here – I felt so relieved to have the support that I have had."
She added: "We are both so driven for each other's careers, and I just felt like it was the beginning. This is not the end of the road for any of us. I'm so proud of her, and I am proud of myself for getting this far, and I couldn't believe I was standing there with her at the finale."
Not surprisingly, Glover – who performed an amazing duet with Jennifer Hudson on Thursday's show – had a hard time grasping that she had just won the contest, after auditioning twice before.
"I'm still trying to process it. I don't even know my name!" she gushed. "It feels amazing, though, to finally have gotten to this point after working so hard for so long."
"I think for the top 10, they got it right," Keith Urban added. "Whoever is going to win at that point is pretty darn good. And when you can hold your own against Jennifer Hudson, you are a serious singer. That's all I've got to say."
Glover and Harrison, both just 23, have promising careers ahead of them, and it all begins now. "I get to go on tour," said Harrison. "Then I just want to make a record. That's all I've ever wanted to do."
Glover is working on an album, too. But amid the glitz and glamour of Thursday's circus, the exhausted winner had a more immediate goal in mind. "I don't think I'm going to get the chance to sleep tonight," she said, "but I'm going to try and sleep as much as I can."
