Dusty is the streak killer. Check back to the Toronto gamea after the West Coast Swing. Who's in the starting lineup that night? Jose Macias. Coincidence, I don't think so.

Bonds just hit one to the opposite field gap, about a foot below the top of the wall. We thought it was a HR first, but it was ruled correctly to a ground rule double, b/c a fan grabbed it. About an 11 or 12 pitch at bat. Amazing.
Why call up Theriot or
Why call up Theriot or anybody else? The season is over and they should have saved the 50k. Hairston could play SS in an emergency sitution. Why didn't they just walk WMP in the 8th and bring up Harang. It forces Narron to either waste a chance to score runs by keeping Harang in there or pinch hit and lose Harang who had been lights out.

Hairston could play SS in an emergency sitution.
What does that have to do with Theriot? He doesn't play SS. And the Cubs have 2 SS on the MLB roster anyway - Nomar and Neifi. And I would guess that Nomar will go back to SS if Ramirez returns.

They list him as a SS.

he's played 3rd most of this year..he's a natural SS...he's got a strong arm.
between him and fontenot and on a higher tier cedeno, theyre 3 of the most likely cubs utility IF of the future...
cedeno is about the only out of them who's got a chance to play everyday.
theriot is just too weak with the bat to play everyday as of now (aka, bobby hill)...great glove supposedly no matter where you stick him.
Guess you are right...every
Guess you are right...every where I looked earlier today had him listed as a 3b.
I still say it doesn't really matter, as the Cubs have a backup SS on the roster.

Last night was a great night
Last night was a great night to be a Cub fan if you're willing to dwell in the land of McFail. Nothing proves this team is on the right track more than Dontrell Willis winning his 21st game. If only the shirt he insists on wearing didn't read Florida. At some point some of these wins must revert to the Cubs otherwise, WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANDY HAVE EVEN BROUGHT IT UP???!!!
I don't see any comments
I don't see any comments about the actual game here, but it looks like they lost from the ambiance. Hard to tell, though. Things are always bitter here.
On a more interesting note, what is it about Harang that seems to baffle the Cubs?

Nothing proves this team is on the right track more than Dontrell Willis winning his 21st game. If only the shirt he insists on wearing didn't read Florida.
Speaking of Florida, oddsmakers have just installed them as Wild Card Favorites at 11-10.
Houston is 12-10 (6-5)
But the Cubs have slid as low as they go at 75-1 (the Pirates will only get you 75-1).
HOWEVER, according to my projections, if the Cubs continue to play ball NO WORSE than they have all season, these favorable late season matchups will result in an 82-80 record. In fact Andy McFail, Dim Hendry, and Dusty Faker should be fired if they finish under .500 .
To finish 82-80 Cubs must go 11-7:
Cincy 1-1
St.L 2-2
Mil 2-1
Hou 4-3
Pitt 2-0
14-4 actually gets them back into the race with an 85-77 record. Presently the wild card leaders Florida and Houston are on a pace to go 86-76. However they are in the midst of a four game series with each other and have tough remaining schedules so those winning percentages could easily drop and 85 wins could be all that's needed to enter the post season.
So the Cubs are going to go
So the Cubs are going to go 14-4 (a stretch difficult for a 100-win team to pull off) for 85-77, they'll do something like 5-2 against the Astros to render them helpless in the face of our tear, the (77-67) Marlins will be worse than 9-9, the (76-68) Phillies will be worse than 10-8, and the cow jumped over the moon. If both of those teams somehow miss those marks, then one has to look out for the Nationals going 13-5, because it'd be likely they acquired a bunch of those 13 with their six games against those teams.
Or, to put it another way: if you believe BP and the Marlins are, at heart, little better than .500 and the Cubs are likewise an 86 win-team... then we've still got a half-a-percent chance.
It is, however, cute that so many Cubs fans are oblivious to the reality that this team was a marginal player by mid-August.
Forcing to a record? Think
Forcing to a record? Think about it this way.
Dusty was going to play Macias and Neifi more because that "fans would appreciate it."
Let's see Maddux more because the fans will CERTAINLY appreciate THAT.
From Mike Kiley in the
From Mike Kiley in the Sun-Times:
"Baker strangely denied before Monday's game that he had told reporters Sunday in San Francisco that he would consider giving Maddux an extra start down the stretch if it becomes necessary for him to try and win 15.
''What I said was let's win three in a row and it'll be a moot point,'' Baker said.
Not exactly accurate. While saying that he wanted Maddux to win three in a row, a review of the taped conversation showed that what Baker also said was that he might work in an added start for Maddux if he needed it for a 15th win.
His reply was: ''Yeah, it depends on where we are. Certainly I'd like him to get to 15.''
Hard to misinterpret that."
I don't really have anything to add. I think the quote speaks for itself.
theriot has played mostly
theriot has played mostly 3rd this year?
hmm...I fairly certain he played second and shortstop most of the year.
Matt Craig and Casey Mcgehee played 3rd for the Jaxx most of the season.
It is no big shocker. When
It is no big shocker. When Baker's lies and double standards are exposed he just denies it or acts like it never happened. I have never seen a manager with less integrity than Dusty Baker.
As for Maddux, he probably knows he made a bad decision coming back to the Cubs. He probably thought the organization was finally getting out of it's rut, only to find out they have not learned a damn thing. I would bet money he will just simply retire than go through another season of misery with this crap collection of talent and attitude. Much less endure another season with the village idiot Baker at the helm.
I few weeks ago an article ran somewhere where Maddux was trying to teach some players some things and then a few of them would talk back and Maddux would just say "screw it" and walk off in frustration. No idea who those players are, but if a Hall of Famer is trying to give you tips and you blow him off this team is WAYYYYYYYY to fucking stupid to win baseball games.
"So the Cubs are going to go
"So the Cubs are going to go 14-4 (a stretch difficult for a 100-win team to pull off) for 85-77"
Nobody said they were going to do it Ron. Of course it's a long shot. But you're wrong, it's not impossible. Not at all. The Cubs dismal season is entirely due to their inability to beat the East. It's all about matchups. They don't have to elevate their game much to go 14-4 playing within the Central division. Especially after going 8-2 on the road.
Incidentally, here's a
Incidentally, here's a newsflash: Sergio Mitre is not a reliever. Not that I haven't been saying that for absolutely frigging ages.
Might as swell insert a random crack about Zach Day and Sergio Mitre. For what it's worth, on pitches 1-15 his career ERA is 10.80.
If Baker is really trying to get Maddux 15 wins, do you honestly think he feels the best way to do that is hitting Jose Macias 6th in the lineup.
JJ, regarding Maddux and
JJ, regarding Maddux and Dusty Baker.
Baker was asked directly if he'd like Maddux back next year after Maddux told reporters that he'd return in 2006 if Chicago thought he still had the ability to start for them. So what did Baker say? He said, "It's up to him (Maddux)."
What a weasel.
Then he went on to imply that Maddux was losing his pitching prowess as "pitchers do at the end of their career."
This comment came after a long Dusty diatribe about how the "blame" for this McFailure of a season needs to be spread around and not just dumped on him.
It doesn't sound like he really wants GM back at all.
I fully expect Macias to start pitching side sessions in prep for next year.
"What does that have to do
"What does that have to do with Theriot? He doesn't play SS. And the Cubs have 2 SS on the MLB roster anyway - Nomar and Neifi. And I would guess that Nomar will go back to SS if Ramirez returns."
There thinking was that they needed a SS in case something happend to Nomar or if Ram does not come back. . All I was saying was Hairston could play SS if need be.
Sure, it's not impossible,
Sure, it's not impossible, in the sense that it isn't impossible for the Blue Jays to win their division or that it wasn't impossible for the Devil Rays to win the World Series this year.
It is, and has been for a month, highly if not prohibitively improbable. Personally, I'd like to see more of the media and passive fan base acknowledge that this team will have spent 25% of the season as an also-ran, because before you know it, we'll be having offseason discussions where some will praise the job various elements of the team did in "keeping us in the playoff hunt well into September."

that would involve ESPN actually talking about something sports related not going on in the north east in the boston-to-newyork corridor.
i just dont see it happening...

I also bet Greg realizes what a mistake it was to come back to Chicago, especially this season. He's getting a taste of what he missed all those years when he was playing championship baseball with the Braves. After 2003 when he faced the Cubs in the playoffs, they looked like a team built on pitching that was on the verge of something great... Maddux was fooled like everyone else.
It's really chicken-shit if the Cubs are hoping/looking for Greg to not pick up his option.
Re post #30 First of all, it
Re post #30
First of all, it IS up to Maddux if he is to return. There were articles around the time of his option kicking in about how much Dusty likes Maddux and wants him to come back. Hendry, too.

If you're suggesting that Maddux will retire before seeing out his contract with the Cubs, I will take your money.
I also highly doubt that
I also highly doubt that Maddux sees this as "misery." He's highly paid playing the game he loves, still doing it reasonably well and in a city, and ballpark, he clearly enjoys. I wouldn't assume a fan's views on the Cubs are always going to jibe with how a player feels.
i dont know why people think
i dont know why people think maddux likes anything but his money or playing the game like he was hired to play it no matter who's paying him.
maddux sat around forever 2 offseasons ago waiting for someone to hand him loot. he was offered 1 and 2 year deals from clubs and turned them down flatly cuz no one wanted to give him the money he wanted for the years he wanted to compete.
the dude was throwing 88mph and was getting hit in atl. at the end of his last season there...a season where maddux accepted arbitration and royally screwed atl's money situation causing them to freak out and make trades they didnt want to make and put off signings of FA's. btw, this was atl's fault...
now he's throwin 84/85mph and about to make 9m bucks in 06.
love or hate maddux, he's not known as a patient baseball man who loves this winning more than life.
yes, he respects the game...no, he's not a jerk...yes, he's willing to do what he's asked...but he's just a guy trying to make some scratch and do his job.

So, he has his ring and he's had his fat contracts, so I have to believe he's still pitching cause he wants to and thinks he can.
The $ can't be the motavating factor at this stage.
yeah, the man expects to be
yeah, the man expects to be paid to do it, too.
he was very clear he wanted to be paid fair and wanted a multi-year deal.
he waited a very long time to get the deal he was looking while shoving aside other deals including 1-year deals.
he's not selfish, but he's not known for being a rah-rah guy...he's a guy who expects fair pay for a fair season's work and wants to do it on his terms.
he's gonna make 9m next year and he earned it via the contract stipulations built in as injury protection for the club. i doubt very seriously he wants to walk away from that now.
he could have been a yankee a couple years ago for christ's sake...if you really care about winning, you go to the 200million team who buys their way to the postseason by strangling the competition with money.
maddux plays the game right and he fullfilled his contract without bitching about it...what more can you ask for?
"Sounds to me like Dusty
"Sounds to me like Dusty wants Maddux back, but I guess it makes better fodder to say otherwise"
GEEZ!! go read all the articles available. They're all reporting the same interview with Baker. Those headlines are extremely misleading.
What does Faker mean, he "hopes" Maddux comes back. If you really want a pitcher back who just automatically vested a 2006 contract at $9 million, you don't imply that Maddux might be so upset at the deterioration of his pitching skills that he might not return.
a big big big problem with a
a big big big problem with a lotta quotes is the lack of the question that prompted it and the lack of emotion that can be conveyed in text.
a lotta dusty press conferences he's just laughing off questions giving light-commented answers.
some of this is turned into shoe-banging statements of total seriousness.
yeah, it looks bad on him sometimes, but honestly, dusty has shown he really dont give a damn what any media thinks of him as long as his players know what's up.
when other sportswriters read comments taken out of context to the question or jest of answer and repeat it to the player things can get a bit weird.
it sometimes becomes a stupid circle where a question not being answered in total seriousness becomes absolute statements of fact and serious answers to some questions become lost in the context of what question lead to the answer.
this is also why some people dont take sportswriters seriously or even care to take press events seriously.
GEEZ! The original poster
GEEZ! The original poster took the "It's up to him" part out of context, not even bothering to post the positive quotes. I did not have time to find every single article on the subject to your satisfaction. But I think "Iíd love to have him back" is a pretty clear indication that he wants him back.

If houston can get 3 from florida I believe the cubs can get in with a 14-4 record. Both the phillies and Florida have 6 games each against ATL. If atl wins 4 out of 6 Florida has to go 6-6 in the other games and Philly has to go 7-5. Florida's other games are against Philly NYM and Washington. Philly's are Florida, Cin NYM and Was. I'll make a prediction:
IF We finish 14-4 taking 5 out of 7 from Houston we will at least tie for the wild card. Unless Florida sweeps houston.

Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.

During a recent trip a dealer allowed me to split 8's 4 times, then a few hours later at the same place the dealer would not allow me to split more than 3 times. Since this isnt a rule that generally is spelled out on the table, do casinos need to post house rules somewhere per gaming control regulations?
Here's a link to the NV rules page: http://gaming.nv.gov/stats_regs.htm (<- Archive copy of dead link).
A while back, I was not allowed to double after split at a downtown store. I called gaming (if you play a lot in NV, it's good to have the number programmed into you phone), and was told that's not a rule, like payoffs (3:2, 6:5, etc.) that has to be displayed. It does have be in a book in the pit, I was told.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Billed as the "thinking man's comedian," comic Steve Hofstetter can usually be found doing stand-up on a college campus - that is when he's not doing radio or television appearances, writing for various publications, or blogging.
Hofstetter has appeared on multiple television shows, including The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, E! True Hollywood Story, Comics Unleashed, Comedy All-Stars, Quite Frankly and White Boyz in the Hood, just to name a few. He's also been a columnist for Sports Illustrated Kids, Maxim and the New York Times, as well as other publications.
Yes, Steve Hofstetter is a very busy guy and he's going to be performing tonight in Shepherdstown.
Article Photos
"I've played the school (Shepherd University) a couple of times before, and at the Blue Moon," Hofstetter said during a telephone interview.
"I've always enjoyed places that are the exception to the rule," he added. "The first time I was in Shepherdstown, I didn't really understand it. It's got such a unique and distinct character. It's an academic haven and I really like it."
Hofstetter said his material is all about questioning the status quo - which, of course, is conducive to the young and challenging environment found on most college campuses.
"I never intended to be on the college circuit as much as I am," he said. "There seems to be a nice symbiosis - it happened organically."
Some of the subject matter Hofstetter said he likes to use in his current shows are about parenting, airport security and why people seem to think its OK to make fun of redheads. Yes, he is one.
"My favorite description of my show is it's like The Daily Show if it were on HBO," he said.
Hofstetter went on to say the person who inspired him the most as a comedian was the political satirist and stand-up comic Bill Hicks.
"The stuff (Hicks) was talking about then still holds up today and he had no fear," he said. "He was a brilliant comedic mind but he was so angry. I aspire to what he was if he didn't hate his audience. I love to take sacred cows and make them not sacred anymore."
In October, Hofstetter will be taping his sixth album with a release date sometime during the holidays.
Because of the small venue - the Opera House in Shepherdstown - Hofstetter's show is closed to the general public, but will be open to all Shepherd University students providing a Rambler ID.

(Englewood, Colorado) Liver cancer patients in Colorado now have a highly specialized alternative when it comes to surgery. The Center for Diseases of Liver and Pancreas at Swedish Medical Center is the first in Colorado to offer them the option of robotic liver resections.
"I feel as though this is a natural next step in the commitment as demonstrated by our Center for Diseases of the Liver and Pancreas. We have a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of benign and malignant disorders of the liver and this stands as a great example of bringing new technology in the appropriate timing and circumstance for the benefit of the patient while maintaining adherence to best treatment guidelines and outcomes," says surgeon Eric Kortz, M.D.
Kortz is currently the only surgeon in the state that uses the Da Vinci surgical robot to perform this procedure.
Liver resections remove part of the liver containing cancer. With the robot, the operating surgeon has complete control during surgery offering safety for the dissection through tissues. "Robotics offers an extension of the minimally invasive approach for liver resection to more of our patients than our standard laparoscopic procedures due to increased operative maneuverability and increased safety," explains Kortz.
The procedure also offers patients significant advantages to postoperative pain and speed of recovery. "The benefits of minimally invasive procedures reduce overall physiological stress on the patient during operation and recovery," says Kortz, "I certainly feel that the future of liver resection will involve robotic decision making."
About Swedish Medical Center (www.SwedishHospital.com)

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The proposed two-megawatt Cabin Creek Biomass Energy Facility will "likely" benefit community health in Lake Tahoe, according to findings from a Health Impact Assessment released Monday.
Air quality improvement, a reduced risk of wildfires and diversification of energy sources are some of the findings in the assessment, which evaluated both positive and negative health impacts should the biomass facility be constructed and operational.
The Sequoia Foundation, the public health research nonprofit that conducted the assessment, studied seven points of interest - air quality, wildfires, traffic, water quality, noise, greenhouse gas emissions, economic and energy security - based on public input at three community meetings.
"The HIA process allowed us to learn about local community concerns, so we could address them in a systematic way," said Bindi Gandhi, Health Impact Assessment program manager of Sequoia Foundation, in a press release. "Issues such as economic and energy security, water quality, and traffic would likely have not been assessed in this HIA if community members had not expressed these as concerns at community meetings."
Key recommendations by the Sequoia Foundation in the assessment are:
• Placer County should develop a communications plan between residents and facility operators to address air quality and noise concerns.
• The Placer County Air Pollution Control District should increase the number of surprise on-site inspections.
• The county should prioritize the hiring of local contractors for both facility construction and operation.
"This health impact assessment by the Sequoia Foundation is to be applauded for its independent, third-party analysis," said Jennifer Montgomery, Placer County Supervisor for District 5. "... The report's findings will not only inform those local communities, but other communities across the country that are considering similar alternative energy technologies."
The assessment can be viewed here: www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/CommunityDevelopment/Planning/Biomass.aspx
According to Placer County, the facility proposed to be built at the Eastern Regional Landfill on Cabin Creek Road between Squaw Valley and Truckee would utilize gasification technology to convert woody biomass gathered from nearby forestland within a 30-mile radius, which is projected to power the facility for its lifespan of 40 years.
The project aims to improve regional air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to open pile burning of biomass waste and support of healthy forest management practices designed to reduce catastrophic wildfire risks, according to its environmental impact report.

Police were called to a scuffle at a Toronto-area hotel in what Skate Canada calls an unruly celebration involving figure skaters.
Police were called to a scuffle at a Toronto-area hotel in what Skate Canada calls an unruly celebration involving figure skaters.
Seriously? Yipes.
The readers' comments below the article were about what one would expect. I guess all those disbelieving Toronto Globe and Mail readers have never seen Lloyd Eisler or Elvis Stojko up close, if they think that figure skaters are wimpy.
Last edited by Olympia; 01-20-2013 at 09:38 PM.
Haha, I wonder which skaters they were, and if they were male or female.
It's all about chan's pcs
I won't be impressed until they set some police cars on fire.
Would Patrick even stay at the "official" hotel (assuming that this took place there)? A lot of top-notch skaters opt for other hotels due to privacy concerns.Mr. Slipchuk emphasized that the incident didnt involve any of our notable or high-profile team members. Our top skaters do not get involved in things like that.
This story can go viral.
It is the next Tonya-Nancy saga!
Another article cites a number: "... eight Skate Canada members got into a fight." [It seems to use "Skate Canada members" as a synonym for "skaters".]
Rumour has it that one skater claimed the other skater's skirt was too short and her panties too skimpy; the other retorted that her spandex was too tight and the next thing you know bugle beads and sequins were all over the place with bad splices of Carmen, Masquerade Waltz, and Les Mis left all over the floor.
The weekend spectacle concluded on a bizarre note with reports there had been an incident involving skaters at their nearby hotel. A noise complaint to hotel management resulted in a warning to tone down celebrations following Saturday nights competition. When that didnt happen, police were summoned, though nobody was charged, according to Skate Canada spokesperson Barb McDonald.
She flatly denied that tiny Moore-Towers was one of the culprits, as had been rumoured. McDonald said she could not confirm the names of the other skaters involved, nor whether the noisy celebrants had been kicked out of the hotel.
There are code of conduct protocols for figure skaters.
Were a little disappointed that it got out of hand, said McDonald. As we find out more information, we will take appropriate consequences once we have all details, as it affects any of our skaters.
Rowdy figure skaters, oh my.

As someone who's a Wings and Kings fan (Wings first of course, but Kings a close second) I love watching the Kings because it's a style of hockey I'd love for the Wings to be able to play someday soon, now that they don't have enough high end talent to rely completely on puck possession.
Wow, I must admit I am pretty surprised to see support for the Kings, but it's pretty cool. I joined this site awhile back to see what the Wings fans had to say. I don't post much because a couple members thought I was trolling even though I have never talked s***. I just like talking hockey with other fans.
Anyway, we long suffering Kings fans are pretty stoked to be where we are. Of course it will all be for nothing if we don't win the Cup!
The Kings are hard hitting, great defensively, incredible goaltending, and while I don't know that they have a fighter who strikes fear in the heart of people, they have so many guys in the lineup that will drop the gloves if necessary. Including now Kopitar after Burrows went after him like the ***** that he is.
And the team is so friggin young it's crazy. I don't know how many people realize that while Brown has been on the Kings for 7 seasons now, he's only 27 years old. And I keep forgetting Kopitar is only 24. Quick is 26. Doughty is only 22. And Voynov is logging 17+ minutes a game in the playoffs as a 22 year old rookie. It's fun to see. On the Wings Holland would still have these guys stuck in the AHL.

"I married my best friend," says Monroe, 27, a Knoxville, Tenn., native who met Danks through a mutual friend in 2011 after a show in Chicago. "He has such a good heart."
Blake Shelton officiated the nuptials, which took place at Blackberry Farm, the same bucolic site where Kelly Clarkson said "I do" four days before, while Monroe's best friend (and fellow member of the Pistol Annies) Miranda Lambert was her maid of honor.
"They're my dearest friends," Monroe said of the superstar couple. "And we wanted someone with personality to marry us!"

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Now Focusing on Brother Val's Success on Dancing with the Stars
But while the Ukrainian-born dancer has made it to the final round of the immensely popular dance show four times in his 13 seasons, his elimination from the all-star competition came with an almost welcome whimper.
"There's no sting, no sting at all," Chmerkovskiy, attending the launch event for Kimberly Snyder's juice bar Glow Bio in West Hollywood, tells PEOPLE about Wednesday's elimination, which sent him and partner Kirstie Alley home.
"First of all, it was not losing, because Kirstie did amazing, given the fact that we were up against such incredibly talented competition."
Chmerkovskiy, 32, led Alley to second place in season 12, but this time around, with a competition so fiercely contested, Chmerkovskiy readily admits that the chips – and the cha-cha-cha – may have been stacked against him and the actress, 61.
"We just couldn't overcome a 20-point deficit," Chmerkovskiy says. "And it was two weeks of low scores, but God knows that [Kirstie] gave me everything that she had and more, and we're both very grateful for how long that we lasted."
Competitive SpiritSomething else the dance pro is grateful for: beating out some of his top competitors.
"Seeing Sabrina [Bryan] go before us, seeing Joey Fatone go before us," Chmerkovskiy says. "All of the amazing dancers that went before us as we stayed in the competition, it was a blessing, and we have to thank the fans [who] kept us there."
Now free to root for his younger brother, Val, and partner Kelly Monaco, Chmerkovskiy is taking a different approach as his sibling heads into the final rounds.
"This is his experience and I want him to be responsible for it," Chmerkovskiy says, "And God knows that [Val] has the talent and the ability to educate and perform, and he's been doing fantastic with Kelly. For me, there's not much more that I could tell him other than to have him keep doing what he's doing."
As for how Val is feeling, the dancer isn't as cool as his newly eliminated brother.
"He's freaking out, and he's like, 'This is crazy! I can't believe you did this 13 times!'" Chmerkovskiy says of his brother's reactions to judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. "I gloat [over] the fact that he's now like, 'I can't believe you did this that much!' "

Longtime spiritual leader and Southern Ute Tribal Council member Edward Bent Box Sr., died Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012, in Asheville, N.C. He was 92.
A member of the Moache-Capote Bands of the Ute Nation, Mr. Box was born April 1, 1920, the eighth of nine children born to Jacob and Bertha Bent Box, in Bayfield. He attended the Allen Day School and the Albuquerque Indian School through the 12th grade.
In 1941, he married Dorothy Burch in Aztec. After 33 years of marriage, she preceded him in death in 1974.
In 1942, during World War II, Mr. Box enlisted in the Navy. He served as a motor machinist�s mate second class in the South Pacific during the Solomon Island Campaign. He was honorably discharged in 1946.
Mr. Box worked at La Plata Motors in Durango as a Ford mechanic after the war. He also was a disk jockey for KIUP (AM-930) and was the first radio announcer to broadcast in his native Ute language in the Four Corners.
His family said people also will remember him for playing saxophone in an all-Native American band known as �The Pine River Boys.�
Mr. Box served 16 years on the Southern Ute Tribal Council. He also served on the Committee of Elders for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society.
One of his greatest passions of the last 60 years was traditional Indian flute-making. He loved to �make wood sing,� his family said. Mr. Box was a member of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association, Southern Highland Craft Guild and the International Native American Flute Association.
Known as �Red Ute,� his Native American name, he began to follow the traditional spiritual path of the Ute People in 1952 by entering the Sun Dance Lodge on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in Towaoc. He danced there annually for four years before being asked in 1956 to lead the Southern Ute Sun Dance by the late Sun Dance Chief and Tribal Elder Edwin Cloud in Ignacio. Mr. Box served the Ute People for 42 years in this capacity before choosing his successor, Neil Buck Cloud, in 1994. As Mr. Box was still living when Mr. Cloud retired, he appointed Kenneth Frost as his final successor in 2010.
Mr. Box also served as chief of the annual Bear Dance Ceremonial for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe for 38 years. Upon his retirement, he appointed the late Gerald Howe and Rudley Weaver as his successors in 1999.
In 1990, he married Diane Colbath in Durango. The couple moved to Asheville in 2000.
In addition to his first wife, Mr. Box also was preceded in death by his son James Lloyd Box Sr.; and grandson Jimmy Paul.
He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Diane C. Box of Asheville; son Edward Burch Box, also known as �Eddie Box Jr.,� of Ignacio; adopted son Jeffrey James Creeden of Asheville; 10 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.
According to his wishes, cremation took place at sunrise on the fourth day after his death. He once said, �I want to leave this world the same way I came into it � in a very humble way.� His ashes will be scattered at a later date.
A memorial celebration of life will be held at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012, at the Sky Ute Casino and Resort Events Center.

The time is almost here—kickoff of the 2011 BCS National Championship game in Glendale, Arizona. Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton will lead his Auburn Tigers against the fast and furious Oregon Ducks.
Everyone knows what Cam Newton brings to the field, and the controversy that surrounds him off the field. Will the Ducks have enough defense to contain Newton, or will Mr. Heisman lead Auburn to the promised land and uphold the SEC's dominance in college football?
Both teams have explosive offense, but Oregon has been known to rattle off plays every 12 to 15 seconds. Will they wear out the Tiger's defense by the second half, or will Auburn simply run the ball down the smaller Oregon defense?
Cam Newton outweighs seven out of nine Oregon defensive ends, all of the Duck's secondary, and all but one linebacker on the Oregon roster.
Kickoff is scheduled at 8:30PM ET, so get your favorite beverage and snack, and follow along as we watch Auburn or Oregon win this year's national championship!

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Think back to a social studies class you had in middle school.
Are there particular lectures or lessons that stand out? It probably isn't the end-of-the-chapter drill, but perhaps you do remember a special research assignment, group project or an especially inspiring teacher.
Now imagine the student experience in Kevin Bixler's history class at Custom Learning Academy (CLA). "What do you know about Russia," he asked the seventh-grade students. A lecture does not follow. Instead, a completely student-driven exploration of the geography, politics and economics of the world's largest country ensues. Each student in the small class has an iPad and a piece of paper that features an outline of Russia for note taking. The students use different search words to access various websites. The class is completely interactive with students sharing "really cool facts" and asking questions. For a short time the Russian National Anthem plays quietly in the background as the students delve into the country-specific research. All of the students are on task. Engagement level is high.
"This generation grew up with technology in their hands. The touch screen and visuals lock in their attention," said Bixler, a credentialed teacher at CLA, who holds a bachelor's degree in American studies from California State University, Chico. "We use technology to foster independent researchers and learners. When there is technology, especially iPads, students are so into it, and when you're into it, you learn."
The seventh-grade students use the information gleaned from the first half hour of class to write a creative paragraph. In just one hour, the students have practiced 21st century skills using their imagination and writing skills to craft a compelling paragraph about Russia's attributes and presented their findings in front of the class. This is the introduction to a whole section that will focus on learning about Russia.
Asked to describe additional iPad uses in their classes, the teens excitedly share information about their favorite apps, talk about the recent timeline and castle projects they completed in history class, share insights about the pros and cons of using the Sketchpad app in art and rave about the online language lessons that reinforce the vocabulary they are learning in their French and German studies.
Across the parking lot in an elementary classroom, first and second grade students quickly walk to their desks after wrapping up singing together in music class. They know the rules: They can begin language arts as soon as their teacher has assigned a specific iPad to them, and the iPad must remain on the table.
There is 100 percent student engagement as the children, 7 and 8-years-old, trace letters by following the arrows that teach proper letter formation with their finger right on the iPad screen. They read aloud and also group words with common sounds. They share their experience with the person sitting next to them. They giggle.
"Using the iPads is a fun and productive way to work on predicates and site words rather than traditional assignments. When they play games (engage in activities) [on the iPad] they don't even realize they are learning," said first and second-grade senior teacher Michelle Hall, whose students are using Reading Raven, Doodle Words and Sight Words apps. Her colleague Stephanie Brodie also likes the interactive language arts lessons, some of which monitor individual student progress.
As the students hone in on the educational games, the teachers provide positive feedback and offer hints for any challenging sections. The time students spend on the iPads reinforces the curriculum and creates a fun and exciting learning environment. Students steadily progress at their own level when using the iPads with teacher support.
In addition to the iPads, CLA has integrated videos, digital photography and computers into today's classroom. Students develop an understanding of how they learn best, reinforce content knowledge and depict critical thinking skills while teachers employ another teaching tool. It's all part of the school day for students at Custom Learning Academy.
Custom Learning Academy is located at 12710 Northwoods Blvd. in Truckee. For more information visit customlearning.org or call 530-587-5470.

Puente a la Salud Comunitaria (Bridge to Community Health: Puente)
Puente a la Salud Comunitaria's mission is to contribute to food sovereignty and advance the health and economic well-being of rural communities in Mexico by promoting the cultivation, consumption, and commercialization of amaranth. Amaranth is a plant native to Mesoamerica that is uniquely positioned to address the high rate of malnutrition in rural Oaxaca. It is one of the few vegetables where both the seeds and leaves are edible, and both are loaded with nutrients. Amaranth seeds contain 13-15 g protein, among the highest for any grain. Its proteins have an ideal balance of amino acids, with a high concentration of lysine, an essential amino acid that cannot be found in other cereals. Owed to the relatively high market price of amaranth, not only does the program impact the nutritional well-being of these communities, but also aims to create income generation activities, and thus advance community sustainability and food sovereignty.
Puente has been working in rural communities in the Mexican state of Oaxaca since 2003, and has trained over 6,000 women to reintroduce the regular consumption of amaranth into their families' diets in order to reduce the levels of malnutrition amongst Oaxaca's indigenous population. Beginning in 2007, Puente incorporated the Eco-Amaranth Program and a participatory approach to community development that includes ambitious objectives related to improving nutrition, agriculture and income-generation. Since that date, Puente has hired experienced agronomists who have trained over 415 farmers in the production of amaranth using ecological and organic practices. In total Puente works directly with approximately 1,000 families annually. In 2013, Puente will work in 25 communities in three micro-regions (Attention Zones) located in the Mixteca, Mixe (Sierra Norte) and Valles Centrales regions of Oaxaca.
Puente recently conducted a participative evaluation with the farmers to assess their experience and lessons learned from 2009-2012. With increases in harvest from the previous years, the farmers were content with their successful harvests and showed enthusiasm about planting amaranth again in 2013. However, the greater amount of amaranth harvested also triggered their concern about the potentially rigorous process of manually preparing the grains for both consumption and commercialization in the future. The farmers, along with Puente's technical team, concluded that the combination of four farming machines sower, thresher, seed cleaner, and popper), or any alternatives, would considerably help reduce the time and labor invested to transform their harvest into useable form for both consumption and commercialization. The participants noted that access to this technology would consequently encourage more farmers in the community to grow amaranth. Currently, available amaranth technology is limited or non-existent, expensive, and does not always consider the needs of rural communities (i.e., the machines are not very mobile, designed only for large extensions, expensive, among other factors).Puente's expertise is community development in nutrition and agriculture, and definitely not engineering. For this reason we are reaching out to MIT students.
Puente currently has intern positions available in rural communities ranging from one to three hours from the office headquarters in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico. Puente is offering a unique opportunity to students of MIT to learn about rural, indigenous communities and agricultural systems in Oaxaca first hand. The MIT interns will come up with an innovative, community and participation-based approach at developing appropriate technology to process amaranth for family consumption and larger volume processing. Participation is one of the core principles of Puente. Puente believes that by involving participants in the process, from diagnosis to evaluation, we can ensure both the pertinence and the impact of our programs. MIT engineers will work with the community members and Puente's agriculture technicians to come up with the best possible technologies, created from local resources, to transform amaranth seeds into a healthy food alternative and a sustainable source of income. Our goal is to be able to provide alternative, affordable solutions to the communities.
Puente can provide on-the-ground coordination and local knowledge and support to the MIT team. Oaxaca is rich in its culture, cuisine, and landscape. Puente encourages the volunteers to explore and travel during their time off to fully experience what this beautiful state has to offer.
Puente is looking for candidates who are enthusiastic about sustainable development and agricultural technology, and who have a strong desire to learn about rural communities in Mexico first hand. Puente's participatory approach requires that the volunteers must keep in mind the needs, experiences and expected outcomes expressed by our participants when developing the technology. Creativity, a willingness to exchange ideas, and a strong technical background are all key qualifications for our candidates.
Puente's staff and the community members are primarily Spanish speaking and therefore Spanish speaking skills are preferred. We do have bi-lingual staff that is available to support.
Puente is looking for results. We hope that by the end of the project, the interns will have developed one or more appropriate technologies that can be tested at the end of the 2013 harvest in December.
The dates for the summer interns are flexible, but we would prefer that the majority of the planning and engineering happens in the communities with our participants and staff. Puente will give preference to candidates willing and able to spend at least two or three months in Oaxaca.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with your fine institution.

HARRISBURG - A Republican plan to phase out Pennsylvania's 600 state-operated liquor stores and raise millions in revenue by selling licenses to private businesses passed the House easily Thursday and was sent to the Senate.
The 105-90 vote after about seven hours of debate was a victory for members of the majority Republican caucus and their ally, GOP Gov. Tom Corbett. Five Republicans and no Democrats crossed party lines.
The bill would give existing beer distributors the priority in purchasing 1,200 wine and spirits licenses. It also would allow grocery stores to sell wine and enshrine their current ability - won through court rulings - to sell takeout beer.
Corbett said the vote put the state a step closer to getting out of a business it should never have entered.
"We're actually telling our citizens that we know you're adults and you should have the ability to choose, and you should have convenience," he said
Democrats warned that it would put thousands of state store employees out of work, cost more and generate less revenue than supporters predict and that it would make alcohol more widely available, bringing with it a range of social problems.
"This is not a business-friendly bill," said Rep. Margo Davidson, D-Delaware. "This measure has the potential to destroy small businesses and ravage communities."
Supporters said the state should not be selling alcohol and said private businesses would improve customer service, create jobs and put an end to a Depression-era system of state control that was almost unheard of across the country. They said sales would increase in part by recapturing customers from Pennsylvania who purchase wine and liquor from other states, particularly New Jersey.
"We are moving in the right direction," Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, said during the floor debate. "There are going to be thousands of new private-sector jobs, not only in retail but in wholesale."
After the vote, Turzai called the bill "an A-plus product and I think Pennsylvanians, should it be enacted into law as it is, will be saying, 'Why didn't we do this 40 years ago?'"
Both sides said the proposal was likely to see changes in the state Senate, where the Republican leader said discussions would soon begin regarding how that chamber will respond.
Corbett, who supports privatization, said the fees from the licenses - at least hundreds of millions, perhaps as much as $1.1 billion - should go to improving public education.
But the bill does not dictate how the money is spent, only that it should be deposited in a special account. Legislative officials said the spending would be determined in separate, future legislation.
Democrats were skeptical of the revenue projections.
"To get to that $1.1 billion, you'd almost have to have a perfect storm," said Rep. Joe Markosek, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee. "Something far lower is far more likely to occur."
Rep. Jake Wheatley, D-Allegheny, was one of several members who expressed concern that some communities would be flooded with new retail booze outlets.
"When this thing is fully instituted, and we see an increase of alcoholism, or we see an increase of destruction that happens in our neighborhoods because of accessibility to a drug, then we have a responsibility to pay for that," Wheatley said.

I have had these flip flops for 2 weeks now and have been wearing them everyday since. These are my first pair of CROCS flip flops and they are Very comfortable. I have wide feet and was having a hard time finding a pair of flip flops in the store that were wide enough for me so I decided to check online and found these. They are plenty wide for my feet and they offer the support I need. If I had to find any fault with these it would be that they can get pretty slippery if you get your feet wet which is the only reason why I am rating these a 4 instead of 5. Other than that, I am very pleased with these shoes and I plan on ordering another pair in a different color.

The shoes are Very comfortable and make walking easy, especially as I have had a hip replacement and have an arthritic knee. The top thong is very hard rubber and rubbed a bloody hole on my right foot. I will either have to wear band aids or quit wearing the shoes. If people don't have sensitive skin like mine I would highly recommend them.

I love my crocs, I have 16 pairs of the crocband flips. Each pair is as comfortable as the next. With all the colors to chose from, they make a great accessory to any casual outfit. But the most important thing is that they are so comfortable, you can walk in them all day long !

I have many pairs of crocs and love them. I use different shoes for different activities, fishing, walking around the gardens , boating, kayaking, hiking, quading, leasure, camping, beach walking and so on. I almost never were anything but crocs.
My supper comfortable flips were showing some wear so I ordered two more pair of the croc brand flips.
These are hard, uncomfortable, flips that are going back. Waste of time and money and not what I have come to expect from croc shoes.

A:Ok Unfortunately this can happen when you leave your shoes in the heat for long periods a time, as exposure to extreme heat may cause the Croslite™ material to shrink." You can give us a call @ 1-866-306-3179 for options.Answered on 8/18/2016 by Supportive Shay from Crocs Inc

Q:How does the crocband flip compare to the Kadi flip. I have many pairs of the crocband that I wear indoors. They are a little bulky and am looking for a more tailored flip to wear outdoors.

1 answer
A:I think the Kadee Flip would fit exactly what you are looking for. Both the Kadee and Crocband Flip are offered in our relaxed fit option and are both fully molded from Croslite material, so the fit will be very similar for both. The Kadee looks a little different, but should be equally comfortable as the Crocband.Answered on 7/27/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs

A local government summit is this morning at the MontBleu in Stateline where representatives of 18 cities and Nevada's 17 counties are meeting to discuss how state and federal issues will affect them. This is on the heels of the two day joint Nevada League of Cities and Nevada Association of Counties conference at Lake Tahoe.
Commissioner Doug Johnson was named to the NACO 2013 Honor Roll for his service to Douglas County and local communities in the State of Nevada. I know that Doug has served as president of the organization. Who knew that tipping a car over in protest could lead here?
The Nevada Highway Patrol is reporting a noninjury accident at Highway 395 and Sunridge at 6:46 a.m. Douglas County is out with a disabled vehicle in the median, so that may be it.
We had some nice thick river fog in the Valley this morning, but otherwise it's all clear. The Rim fire is down to creeping and smoldering with some interior burning. At 255,858 acres, it only grew by 298 acres in the last 24 hours.
Expect mostly clear to sunny skies this weekened, with the southwest wind returning on Sunday. The good news? Hopefully, there won't be much in the way of smoke to carry north from Yosemite. Expect high temperatures in the 80s, and lows in the 40s.

The American Cancer Society's Party With a Purpose will be held at 6 p.m. Friday at The Calvin House, Duncansville.
This year's theme is "The Roaring '20s.''
The event will feature elegant cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a martini bar, dinner, dancing to Kent Martin, gaming and music by Zupe and a silent auction.

The American Cancer Society's Party With A Purpose committee members take time from preparations for their upcoming event "The Roaring '20s,'' to be held at 6 p.m. Friday at The Calvin House, Duncansville. Shown are (from left): Roz Sky, Jan Andrews, Louise Barner, Betsy Garach, Lisa Michelone, Mary Ellen Jones and Judy Halbritter. Ellie Spangler was absent when the photo was taken. Tickets are still available by calling the American Cancer Society at 695-9232.
Auction items will include gift baskets and items from area businesses, overnight packages to the Bedford Springs Hotel; Toftrees Resort, State College; the Carnegie Inn and Spa, State College; and a three-night package to the Sea Watch Resort (ocean-front condo) in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and more.
At the event, the society will honor C. David Kimmel with its highest honor, the Shirley A. Pechter Pinnacle Award, an award to recognize notable volunteer achievements and accomplishments in furthering the mission of the American Cancer Society in Blair County. It is named for its first recipient, Shirley A. Pechter.
During his more than 48 years of continuous involvement with the Cancer Society, Kimmel's commitment to the fight against cancer has been demonstrated by many achievements in fundraising and cancer education.
His involvement began in 1963, when he was asked to serve as co-chairman of the Blair Unit's annual crusade, at the time the major annual fundraising event of the society on a local level.
Since then, he has been involved in practically every segment of the American Cancer Society's programs and activities.
He has served on the unit's leadership council several times, serving as president and chairman of various committees and special events over the years. Kimmel also served on the board of directors of the American Cancer Society's Pennsylvania Division.
He was involved in a number of projects on a local and regional basis, with one of the highlights being a program he and Marcia Satryan, developed and directed that involved more than 12,000 high school students in Central Pennsylvania and WTAJ.
The program "A Pinch Could Get Cha" was designed to educate high school students on the serious problem of smokeless tobacco and received national attention for its uniqueness in attracting student involvement.
Kimmel has served as a Daffodil Days chairman and served on planning committees for Making Strides Against Cancer (an event that preceded Relay For Life), Culinary Carousel and Grocer's Day - but perhaps his greatest passion has been the society's Relay For Life event.
He has been involved on the local, state and national levels, and he helped organize the unit's first Relay and became chairman of the event the third year.
During his five years as chairman, the event grew from a $43,000 event to a $400,000 event and received numerous state and national awards and recognition.
He was named to the Pennsylvania Division Relay For Life Task Force; served as a planning committee member and presenter for several national conferences for Relay For Life for Volunteers; served on the national planning committee for the society's Washington, D.C., Celebration on the Hill event and was asked to create the luminaria service on the National Mall; and created the luminaria service for the Pennsylvania Division's Celebration on the Hill event at the State Capitol.
Tickets are still available. The price is $125 per person. For tickets and more information, call the Cancer Society at 695-9232.
