"This is my love letter to you," Winfrey, 57, said during the episode which taped Tuesday in Chicago. Alone on her studio stage – a striking contrast to the previous two shows, which were star-studded spectaculars before 13,000 cheering fans at the United Center – Winfrey said, "I want to leave you with lessons from my life."
Saying goodbye to the TV show that turned her into big sister to the world, Winfrey spent the hour sharing favorite clips and recounting what she's gleaned during her run as the most successful talk show host in history.
Winfrey credited a higher power with her astonishing achievements. "In every decision, I wait and listen for the guidance that's greater than my meager mind," she said.
Winfrey, who appeared calm and confident but with an occasional tear in her eye, continued to share lessons with her fans. "Each one of you has your own platform. You can help somebody, you can listen, you can forgive," she said. "My greatest wish for all of you ... is that you carry whatever you are supposed to be doing and don't waste any more time."
We Are ResponsibleAmong the other lessons she's learned over the past quarter century, Winfrey said, "You are responsible for the energy you create for yourself, and the energy you bring to others. Don't wait for somebody else to save you, to complete you, to fix you."
At the end of the hour, Winfrey said she felt "all sweet, no bitter," and thanked viewers.
"I won't say goodbye," she said. "I'll just say, 'Until we meet again.' "
Winfrey then stepped down the steps of the stage, walked through the audience, stopping to give longtime partner Stedman Graham a hug and kiss. She continued out the studio doors, and high-fived members of her staff who had crowded into the hallways and the staircase that leads to the studio's offices above.
At the top of the stairs, she picked up her cocker spaniel and said, "Sadie, we did it!" Winfrey then walked with the pup in her arms toward her office as the show ended.
The Oprah Winfrey Show finale will air Wednesday on ABC.

Stetson University's Sammi Smith got her summer off to a good start last week when she qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship.
Smith, who will be a senior next season, played in a qualifying tournament in Greenwood, Indiana, and finished second. The qualifier was played at the Hickory Stick Golf Course.
"Shooting a 76 in very tough, windy and rainy, conditions on a difficult course was good enough for second place," Smith said in an e-mail. "I received one of the two qualifying spots, allowing me to advance to the national championship."
The event will be played in Norman, Okla., at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club June 17-22.
"I am excited to represent Stetson in this very prestigious tournament," Smith said.

Documents in the Blair County Courthouse raise the possibility that an Altoona homicide suspect might have used fire in the past as a way to get revenge on a girlfriend.
The court papers are part of two protection-from-abuse complaints filed this year against Aaron Wilson Dishong, 62, of East Freedom who Altoona police allege set Thursday's fire at 113 S. Second St. that killed 3-year-old Daryl Etchison Jr. and sent his mother, Brandy, and 2-year-old sister, Madison, to a Pittsburgh hospital.
Brandy and Madison Etchison were flown to UPMC in Pittsburgh. Madison was expected to be released from the hospital Friday, the Blair County District Attorney's Office said. No new information on Brandy Etchison's condition was available Friday, a UPMC spokeswoman said.
Dishong was taken into custody Thursday night after two people came forward to say Dishong had cased the house two days before the fire and bragged that he set the fire to kill an ex-girlfriend he mistakenly thought was staying at the home.
He is charged with homicide, attempted homicide, arson and other offenses.
Records show violent past
Two PFA complaints filed this year - filed separately by a son and Dishong's most recent girlfriend - portray Dishong as an abusive and violent man bent on revenge.
In January, Dishong's son wanted him banned from his Roaring Spring residence. The reason for the request for court-authorized protection was that Dishong "has problems getting revenge on people, he has burned down his ex-gf's [sic] house and I don't want him doing it to me," court documents state.
The complaint said Dishong "gets mean and hits things a lot."
"I'm scared he might try and take my life or my family or girlfriend's life," the son claimed.
He goes on to say that Dishong beat him frequently as a child.
When the case came up for a hearing before Blair County Judge Hiram A. Carpenter on Jan. 19, it was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled. Carpenter didn't say why the case was dismissed.
Roaring Spring police indicated that Dishong did live in Roaring Spring but eventually left his son's home and went to East Freedom.
Police and other authorities are researching Dishong's background to determine if there is anything relevant to the current charges or if there is anything that could have an impact on sentencing if Dishong is convicted, Blair County Deputy District Attorney Wade Kagarise said Friday.
Kagarise said that he was not aware of the PFA complaint against Aaron Dishong in which it is stated that he burned down his ex-girlfriend's house. He also said he is unaware of any prior criminal record for Dishong.
An autopsy was conducted Friday on Daryl's body and the results will be released when a report has been prepared by the pathologist, Kagarise said.
PFA hearing before fire
The fire that Dishong is accused of setting was only hours before Dishong was to appear before Senior Judge Thomas G. Peoples on a recent PFA complaint filed by an Altoona woman.
On Nov. 5, she stated in the court document, she needed court-ordered protection "because I'm in fear of my life and my family's life due to all the mental and emotional abuse he has done to me and my household." She said Dishong threatened her to the point she needed someone with her at all times.
"He has a plan to kill me & I need protection to prevent this from happening," she wrote.
Police contend that Dishong tried to do just that, kill his estranged paramour by setting her residence on fire.
Dishong celebrated when he heard someone had died in the fire that was initially reported as accidental, a witness told police. He was celebrating because he thought his target had died, court documents state.
When he arrived in court and saw the woman was there and ready to testify against him, a continuance in the hearing was granted.
On Dishong's Facebook page, he wrote Wednesday, "good bye everyone had a great life just have to bring things to an end for someone and me, and in another post he wrote, "A true love can not be shut off with a goodbye like some wonts. love goes two ways It only ends if you want it to but when I go Ill take that love with me."
Dishong's ex-paramour and Brandy Etchison were friends, police said.
The woman had stayed at the home but was not there when Dishong allegedly broke in and started a fire in the living room at just after 6 a.m., authorities said.
Brandy Etchison jumped from a third-story window, onto the porch roof and then onto the concrete below, but was unable to save Daryl, police said. Firefighters pulled Daryl from the home, and he died at Altoona Regional.
Police searched Dishong's home and recovered evidence, Altoona police Detective Sgt. Benjamin Jones said Friday.
Dishong was barefooted and wearing a hospital gown Thursday night at his arraignment before Magisterial District Judge Todd F. Kelly because his clothes were taken as evidence, Jones said.
'Clear-cut example'
As family and friends of the family rallied around Brandy and Madison Etchison, students and staff at the Altoona Area School District's Learning Express at Curtin Preschool mourned Daryl's death.
The entire district was "devastated by the death of this child and expresses their deepest sympathies to the family at this most difficult time," school district spokeswoman Paula Foreman said.
The school is in the early stages of setting up a way for people to help the family, Foreman said.
The family will have some help with funeral expenses, Blair County Victim Witness Program Coordinator Sue Griep said. The Etchisons, however, have lost everything on top of losing a child, and ways to help the family are being explored, the supervisor of Altoona's domestic abuse shelter said.
This case is typical of domestic abuse, and while the intended target of Dishong was fortunate to have not been at the home, it was tragic that domestic abuse claimed the life of a toddler, Lacey Ceshini of Family Services Inc. said.
"It's a clear-cut example of what we've been saying all along," Ceshini said. "Violence increases when the woman tries to get out of a situation."
In most cases, a PFA order is enough to get an abuser to "get a grip on themselves" and cease with harassment, stalking and other obsessive acts aimed at controlling and intimidating, Ceshini said.
Sometimes, however, it's not enough, and getting the court involved can enrage some abusers, sometimes with tragic consequences, she said.
Women are encouraged to use the shelter after filing a PFA order, to further place a buffer between them and the abuser, Ceshini said.
With 21 beds and a staff on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Family Services shelter is one way to help protect women attempting to leave an abusive situation.
"We're always there, and we're always full," Ceshini said. "But that doesn't stop us."
The shelter turns no one away because there's no way to predict which cases will end in violence and which ones won't, she said.

I have been using the measuring cups and wooden spoons for 3 months with Eli and he is STILL not bored with them! His favorite is to sit in his bumbo seat on the kitchen floor and pull all the spatulas and wooden spoons out of the holder (which I put next to him). It's like a toybox for him! Gotta love the 'free' toys!ReplyDelete
Mark is more interested in my plastic spoons and bowls than the hundreds of toys in the family room. He is playing with an empty diaper box as I type!ReplyDelete
Asher just likes to play with the "big" toys--much to my chagrin. Here we have Duplo Legos for him, and yet he wants the little itty bitty ones that his big brothers have. Arrgghh.ReplyDelete
Thankfully, he's really good with them, but it still makes me nervous!
Oh I totally agree. Babies love stuff like that. Our boys always get the bottom drawer in the kitchen of lids and spoons and what-nots. Good for you!ReplyDelete
Brilliant! All my boys need (even at ages 13 and 8) are sticks and mud and an occasional giant box.ReplyDelete
Oh, and Nintendo. ;)
Good thinking! :)ReplyDelete
My oldest carried around an old water bottle filled with uncooked macaroni...for months!

Kids, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the princess of free software.
With B.S.D. born and raised
In the command line where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, hackin', crackin' all cool
And all writing' some FORTRAN outside of the school
When a couple of businessmen, they were up to no good
Started closin' sources in my neighborhood
but all those sources were supposed to be shared!
So I said "I'm gonna be an activist for free software!"
I started forums on the net and when the nerds came near
'Said my ideas were "fresh" and so we set up a mirror
If anything I seeded thousands of files zipped .rar
And we shared, and we seeded -- it's free software!
I got me some servers -- about seven or eight
And I yelled to Microsoft "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the princess of free software.

Unlike many girls of her generation, Meena Rustgi was banished from the kitchen as a child.
Rustgi grew up in New Delhi, India, in a family with five brothers and a sister. "When I was a young girl, our mother never let us cook," Rustgi remembered. "She said, 'Do your studies. Get an education. All your life you'll be cooking and cleaning.' And she was right."
Rustgi, The News' October Cook of the Month, didn't start cooking until a home economics class in 11th grade. "I learned how to make cake that summer," Rustgi said.
In 1965, her parents arranged for her marriage to Om Rustgi, an Indian scientist living in Los Angeles. "When I get married and I was coming here, how am I going to please my husband?" she wondered. Her answer was in studying cookbooks, volumes by Dharam Jit Singh and Premila Lal, and getting recipes from friends and family.
As it turned out, you can learn a lot from a cookbook (Her mother did give her recipes she uses today, including her favorite carrot halwa dessert.) After moving to Buffalo in 1973, so her husband could teach physics at Buffalo State College, the Rustgis moved into a house in Williamsville. They raised two children.
Meanwhile, Rustgi had taken to cooking with such enthusiasm that she eventually started teaching cooking classes at the Amherst YWCA. Not just Indian cuisine, but Chinese, Mexican, Danish and even French dishes, like a Grand Marnier souffle.
"I was really into cooking, and my children and husband were guinea pigs," she said with a laugh. "You try it, make it in front of everybody, and it comes out right – that's the best part."
Rustgi would later return to school at Erie Community College and get her bachelor's degree in information systems management from Buffalo State College. She worked at the Phillips Lytle law firm as a programmer analyst, retiring in 1996. These days, with her children grown, she cooks low-fat, low-salt dishes for her husband, and Indian dishes like rice pilaf for a monthly international student gathering at the University at Buffalo.
She still makes her own yogurt regularly, using a starter culture that came from India. "One of the grandmothers of friends brought it over for her children," Rustgi said. "She said, 'My children missed it.' "
Rustgi remembers how hard it was to find ingredients for Indian cooking in the 1970s. There was the India Trade Center on Bailey Avenue, she said, or trips to Toronto and Queens for supplies. Nowadays Indian ingredients are widely available in supermarkets, though she prefers specialty markets like Spice Bazaar on Sheridan Drive.
Lots of people still have the wrong ideas about Indian food, Rustgi said. "That it's spicy, with all the pepper," she said. While cayenne, hot chile powder, is an ingredient in some recipes, cooks can choose to simply use half as much as the recipe calls for, or leave it out, she said. It still will be delicious.
Also, curry powder? "We don't use curry powder in India," she said. "That is a British invention."
Instead, Indian cooks blend spices for each dish.
Rustgi offered her version of a famous Indian dish called butter chicken. First you marinate chicken breast chunks in spices and yogurt, then stir in browned chickpea flour and cook it on a grill or in the oven. (The dish is designed for a tandoor, the fierce Indian clay oven, but those are hard to find in the United States.)
Once the chicken is cooked, you can serve it as is, she said. It's less fattening, though still remarkably tender for chicken breast because of the yogurt marinade. That's what she serves her husband, with his restricted diet.
Or, you can brown some butter, add tomato, cream and sugar, and turn it into an "Indian" dish that's an almost surefire crowd-pleaser.
And Meena Rustgi does like to make people happy. "With cooking," she said, "it's a little effort, but it pleases a lot of people."
North Indian Tikka Masala
1 pound boneless chicken breast
½ teaspoon chile powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice.
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon salt
4 cloves fresh garlic, grated
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, grated
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan)
Cut chicken breast cut into small cubes. Add chile powder and lemon juice to chicken. Mix yogurt, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, salt, garlic and ginger in a small bowl, then add to chicken. Marinate overnight.
In a small skillet, melt butter, add chickpea flour, and sauté and stir till light brown. Stir mixture into yogurt marinated chicken, helping bind mixture to chicken. Put meat on skewers and grill, or cook in broiler pan with yogurt marinade, in 550 degree oven, until done, about 20 minutes. Drain and discard yogurt from broiled chicken. Can be served warm, as is, or turned into butter chicken.
Butter Chicken
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 recipe chicken tikka masala
Heat butter in heavy skillet till browned. Add other ingredients except chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken, and cook until hot. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve over hot basmati rice. Makes 4 servings.
Basmati Rice Pilaf with Mixed Vegetables
2 cups basmati rice
4 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin seed

Gun rights rally held
December 30, 2012
MARTINSBURG — In support of their Second Amendment rights, local residents gathered in front of Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito's Martinsburg office Saturday afternoo....
I agree with koolaid, just thinking about all of you who are carrying guns scares me too. The really scary thing is that you hide behind your "rights". What about my right to be able to go about my daily business without fear of being shot because you think I am threatening in some way??? Oh sure it may not say that in the Constitution, but you*****well know our forefathers never wanted the crap that is happening today, to be happening the way it is. But we all know that "Ron Paul" knows doesn't he?? He has you all drinking his koolaid, have fun with that!

Simple, it is now no longer R vs D, but Statists vs Constitutionalists.
You either support the Consituttion, or you do not, in every single issue.
Freedom does not mean you have to agree with what others are doing, you just have to understand that, as long as it does not infringe on your rights, then they have the right to live as they see fit.
Law is force, and as such the Government should not have the right to do anything that the citizens cannot.
Law must simply be the collective protection of individual rights.
We are not a deomocracy, but rather a Constitutional Republic.
As such, individual rights trump any and all collective rights.
See the Constitution.
It is the law of the land.
Politicians from both parties are constantly stepping all over it for political gain, at the urging of their political party.
If we all held every single one of them, hand and foot to the Constitution, we would once again experience the rebirth of freedom in this Country.

And when you condescendingly say "NOBODY is saying you should give up your guns," how does that make you look when you see quotes of people, including Congressmen, saying they DO want everyone to give up all their guns? As recently as today, one of them is saying "Yes, Mr. and Mrs. America, hand them all over."

One common canard goes like this: "The NRA wants everyone to have an assault weapon." Repeat that mantra, & you have lost the debate but it's so patently false. Do you REALLY believe that the NRA WANTS violent criminals & little babies to own guns? How does that help their credibility, and their agenda of keeping guns LEGAL for RESPONSIBLE ADULTS to own? It's nonsense.
What if the pro-lifers said similarly ridiculous things about the pro-choicers--"Planned Parenthood and NARAL want EVERYONE, including 12-year olds, to have abortions" ? You'd laugh them and call them paranoid idiots.
That's how extremist anti-gun-ownership people come across.

Local, lot's of good points on your part. First & foremost - if you have firearms, keep them locked up unless they are in use. It's possible that might have prevented the tragedy in Newtown, CT. We'll never know for sure.

This subject brings all the extreme views out, so where are the level headed views? I am a gun owner, hunter and beieve in Freedom, second adm and gun rights. So does that mean I cant be for better gun control? NO it doesnt! The NRA has good points, but they also are looking out for their profits. Sure there is always some way for a nut to get a gun, but making it easy is not the answer.Until we get the lobbist and big money out of this debate no one will be better. If you noticed most of these school killers are young teenage boys. So is it possible that is an area that needs addressed? Is it hard to imagine video games that kill and mutalate people played over and over again doesnt have any influence on young teenage boys? Should parents with guns be advised to lock up guns in a gun safe for security? Maybe a coupon from gun manufactures to lower the cost of gun safes. There are ideas that we havent even thought of that would help, but sticking your head in the sand doesnt.

Bottom line is this: If firearms are to be outlawed then the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution must be repealed. Period. Otherwise the Federal Government is infringing upon a right of the people.
If the President and so many "enlightened" citizens feel this is the answer then go for it. Start the repeal process... Not going to happen is it? They know full well they cannot win the support of the American people. Instead they will tick away at it, impose restrictions on this weapon because it looks "mean" or on that ammo because it sounds "bad". All based on their feelings, never subject to logic or facts.
Gun control is such a stupid argument as it never affects evil people. Rather seem some criminal control. That might make a difference.

Steve Nesser is perhaps one of the hardest working pro skaters in the business. Aside from juggling all the travel required of a skater, he also owns Familia Skateshop in Minneapolis, puts in work on daddy duty and now has added 'skatepark owner' to his list of responsibilities. Last weekend, Steve and the Familia crew opened Familia Headquarters and the result looks like one helluva good time. We caught up with Steve to ask what prompted the move.
ESPN.com: What made you decide to open up a skatepark?
Nesser: I've always wanted one in Minneapolis. I was just waiting for all the things to time out and find the right place. There's a lot of things I want to do here and now we have the place to do them. Plus in case you haven't heard, our winters aren't the greatest for outdoor skating.
Will the park work in conjunction with the skateshop or will the shop move into the park?
As for now, one is the shop and one is the park but I have no idea what the future of all this will bring.
What was the hardest part of starting a park?
Finding the right building and lining up all the people to help with the project and, of course, the cheddar.
Isn't there already a big indoor skatepark in Minneapolis? Is the skate scene that big there to warrant two parks?
I think the scene is one of the best and I believe it will grow, so the more places to skate, the better.
Does your park have a loop? If not, you're blowing it.
Naw, it doesn't. You should build one at your house instead of that weird ledge.
Will Green Day (Billy Joe Armstrong is Steve's brother-in-law) play the park opening?
No, but I'm not saying they won't ever play a Familia event.

An argumentative Dina Lohan – placing the blame on the judge no longer on the case and staunchly defending the behavior of her daughter Lindsay Lohan – appeared on Friday's Today show, declaring there was nothing wrong with her child.
"I'm not condoning drinking and driving, but she's still paying the price for what she did in 2007," said an often-agitated Dina, 47, referring to Lindsay's two DUI cases from three years ago. As for Lindsay, 24, today, "She's changed," says her mother. "She's grown up considerably."
Asked what accounted for this change, Dina told Today's Matt Lauer, "Age. Living life. Knowing life. Growing up."
For now Lindsay is in inpatient treatment, but the District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison told PEOPLE Thursday she may get released "earlier than the 90 days" ordered.
"It's up to the judge to amend the court order or to send her to a new program. There are no standing court dates in Lohan's case. There would have to be a hearing first to amend the judge's orders," Robison explained.
Attacks on the JudgeRepeatedly accusing Judge Marsha Revel of "going overboard" and "playing hardball" by ordering Lindsay to jail for 90 days (she served 13) and into rehab, Dina said that information will be coming out next week showing that the jurist had to remove herself from the case before she was about to be fired.
Defending Lindsay, who was at the Cannes Film Festival when she was expected in court in Los Angeles for a progress review, Dina said, "She was in [jail] for just missing a couple of classes and was working at the time."
In addition, Dina noted, by Lindsay's being behind bars, "She missed driving classes." The actress also came into personal contact with murderers, said her mother, adding, "She made friends with them."
Pressed about her daughter's problems, Dina said, "That's all propaganda," and called tabloid coverage of Lindsay "pre-orchestrated. You're reading things that are not based on fact."
Unlike Julia Roberts and other stars, said Dina, Lindsay's behavior is unfairly scrutinized. "Her life is magnified. Her life is under a microscope … Lindsay doesn't realize a lot of people are watching her."
Asked if she's been there for her daughter – after a visibly frustrated Lauer first suggested that Dina, ex-husband Michael Lohan and Lindsay's friends "have done nothing to help Lindsay" – Dina said that part of a parent's responsibility is to grant a child her freedom.
"When she was 19 and went out to Los Angeles," said Dina, "I had to let her go." Moving forward, however, Dina said Lindsay will be coming home to New York.
For now, in rehab, "She's great," said Dina. "She's been through a lot."

I met him in a mall in Winnipeg a number of years back while wearing my Brandon Wheat Kings hoodie and he walked by me and shook my hand and said nice hoodie....so my perception is that he is a very approachable person. He was super nice and didn't have the slightest chip on his shoulder. As far as the polar bears go....gotta eat man! Different cultures have different tastes for food. I'm a chicken, beef and pork guy myself and that may seem weird to some people that i won't eat anything but those meats, but i'm a born and raised prairie kid. Go further north, there's fish and polar bears.
if you read other tootoo tweets, he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy off the ice. I've changed my opinion of him because who he is on the ice is completely different than who he is off the ice. (ex - team tootoo fund (his charity) and he's gone to rinks to help kids from his hometown with ice hockey).
He's a role player on the ice because that's the way he can help his teams most.
I can't wait to see Tootoo suit up for the Wings.

Let's Internet
A tour of the latest from the web...
- A rather random rumor that the Cubs may have some interest in A's shortstop Bobby Crosby.He's set to make $5.25M this year, so you know he wouldn't cost much in prospects and the A's would probably have to eat at least half his salary. If he's willing to be a utility guy, he'd be a step up from Aaron Miles. Baseball Prospectus projects Crosby at a .243 EqA versus Miles .232. Defensively, Crosby's been a bit above average (according to UZR) to below average (according to BP) at shortstop but probably has a strong enough arm to handle third base. Of course, he'd be replacing Joey Gathright or Micah Hoffpauir on the roster - unless Lou comes through with a six-man bench - and in that case he'd be replacing Bobby Scales, Jake Fox, Luis Rivas or Corey Koskie, in which we'd finally have an acceptable scenario for acquiring Crosby. That is unless the Cubs wise up quickly on this Aaron Miles fiasco that is about to be unleased upon unsuspecting fans.
- Caption fun with Ted Lilly at Big League Stew. Comment #3 has to be the winner.
- Dave Pinto runs through the Cubs expected offensive output. Marcel Projections and the Lineup Tool come up with 5.15 runs per game with the projected lineup, 5.42 with the optimum lineup. The Cubs scored 5.31 runs per game last year.
UPDATE: One wonderful reader pointed out that the probable lineup has Fukudome batting second which(to steal kmokeefe's line) is improbable (at least to begin the season). Let's try it on our own using the lineup of Soriano, Fontenot, Lee, Bradley, Ramirez, Fukudome, Soto, Theriot and the pitcher as suggested by Lou (actually Lou suggested Aaron Miles batting second, but we'll do that next).
That comes up with 5.29 runs per game. The optimal lineup of Bradley, Soto, Fukudome, Ramirez, Lee, Soriano, Fontenot, Pitcher and Theriot comes up with 5.469 runs per game. Flipping Miles for Fontenot results in: 5.025 runs per game and 5.317 with the computer-generated optimal lineup.
- Lou took on Steve Phillips...Lou will win.
- Baseball Analysts takes a look at the All-Time One Teamers - the best player at each position to play for only one club. I checked on Ryne Sandberg(80.8) and Ernie Banks (80), but both are out-WARP'd by the author's choices of Charlie Gehringer (85.3) and Cal Ripken Jr. (120.7). I was quite surprised to see Lou Whitaker(85.7) with a better career WARP-3 than Sandberg; I think I'll need to add him to my subjective Hall of Fame class.
UPDATE #2: Clearly I need an editor, as it was pointed out that Sandberg played 13 games for the Phillies in 1981.
- The miracles of science. We'll be taking donations for TCR's own $10,000 electrolysis machine in April.
- Split-squad action today, Cubs travel to Goodyear to take on the Indians; Carl Pavano vs. Chad Gaudin to start. Milton Bradley will DH in that game as well. Here's the lineup from Muskat:
CF Joey Gathright, SS Aaron Miles, 1B Derrek Lee, DH Bradley, LF Jason Dubois, RF Brad Snyder, 3B Bobby Scales, 2B Nate Spears.
Jeff Samardzija will lead the team in Las Vegas tonight versus the White Sox. MLB.com shows radio for the Indians game and TV for the White Sox game.

Reed Johnson
Re: Let's Internet
So you are saying that it is better than a 50-50 chance that Soriano, ARam, and Bradley are all hurt at the same time?
Someone needs to take a class on probability.
Here are the average games played by Bradley, ARam, and Soriano over the last three seasons, respectively: 94, 146, 134. That means that there would be approximately a 42% chance that Bradley would miss a game, a 10% chance ARam would miss a game, and a 17% chance that Soriano would miss a game.
That would mean that there would be less than a 1% chance that all three would miss the same game.
If you combine that with the chance that Soto would get an off-day on the same day (based on Soto's games played last year), you get a .09% chance that all four would miss the same game.
But sure... "It's better than average."
Re: Let's Internet
While the chances of all 3 being out at the same time is very very low, based on those percentages what is scary is that the chance of at least one of the three being injured for a given game is like 56%! Yikes!
Re: Let's Internet
Hey WISCGRAD, as the resident statistician, I was hoping you might be able to help out with this question I had after reading big_lowitzki's post -
Are the odds that all three will be out at the same time affected at all by the increased probability that the games each will miss are consecutive? Saying Bradley has a 42% chance of missing a game seems a little misleading, because if he's injured he might have a 100% chance of missing, say, the next 30 games. It's not like flipping a coin where the odds of missing a game reset each day.
Also, this probably isn't something you would know, but I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on the likelihood of a player getting injured in a given month. Intuitively, it might seem more likely for a player to get injured in April due to cold weather, and maybe August due to being worn down from the grind of playing all summer. If there is an increased likelihood of guys getting injured in certain months, and we have a few injury-prone players, that might mean that there's an even better chance of them all being injured at the same time.
All right, I've thought about this too much now.
Re: Let's Internet
This was more to the point I was trying to make. It isn't a huge leap to conclude that.
1. Milton Bradley misses somewhere between 35-60% of every season
2. Alfonso Soriano has spent at least 1 stretch on the DL in each season he has been in Chicago.
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Mark Prior and Kerry Wood both had stretches where they were durable and healty. However we saw what happened when we built our roster around the plan that they would be a healthy 1 and 2.
Re: Let's Internet
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Sure... "some time." But that is different than saying that it is an average bet that they will miss time together. And even more different than saying those two, along with Aram, will miss time together. And even MORE different than saying that those three will miss time together along with Soto.
Re: Let's Internet
I thought about that exact question too, but the probabilities wouldn't change. Because while there is a chance that Bradley would miss the first four weeks of the season and Soriano would miss say the last week - meaning they never overlap - it could also be that they both get injured at the same time and ALL of their days overlap. So if you change the unit from games to say weeks or months, the probabilities still say the same.
Basically, what you've pointed out though is that our "less than 1%" answer is a bit misleading. Rather than saying each season we should expect 1 or 2 games in which all 3 are injured, we would really expect this to never happen in like 9 of 10 seasons, and in 1 of 10 to see a two-week span where all three are on the DL.
Re: Let's Internet
FWIW (not much), Excel's FORECAST function has the following predictions for games played in 2009 based on their games played going back to 2001 when each of them became full-time players:
Bradley - 101
Soriano - 124
Aramis - 138
I'd love to see Bradley in the 120-130 range, but this is probably acceptable for the NL Central, right?
Re: Let's Internet
Bobby Crosby?
Re: Let's Internet
Re: Let's Internet
Here's the problem...though Crosby was already going to be shopped, he's already said he wants to be traded because he doesn't want to be a backup. So why trade for an expensive, shitty and pissed off SS?
Re: Let's Internet
I suggest the A's trade Crosby for Ronnie Cedeno and Garrett Olson...so that they can flip Olson for Peavy.
Scott Eyre still broke?
Re: Let's Internet
I finally got a response from Cubs.com on my waiting list position.
I have numbers 27406 and 27405. Anyone want to do a 2 for 1? JD, I know you do...
Re: Let's Internet
Why two numbers? Still 32,921 for me, I'll swap...
Re: Let's Internet
I'm around 19K-something. When this came up a few months ago, I calculated that, at the rate I'd moved up over the last 2.5 years, it'd take me another 3,000 years to have a shot at season tickets.
Re: Let's Internet
Yea, i'll need ever longer. Can you leave your spot on the waitlist in your will?
The cubs just need to build a new, huge stadium that has 100,000 seats, Wrigley is a dump (ducks)...maybe i'll have a chance then.
Re: Let's Internet
Just wait for them to start sucking again. We'll probably move up faster.
Re: Let's Internet
Or, give the economy another couple years of being in the shitter, and I bet you'll see your number start to move up. I'm guessing season tickets are one of the first things to go for a lot of people/businesses when money starts to dwindle.
Re: Let's Internet
While that is most likely right, if they cant afford their season tickets (the companies, people who have them now) there will be no way in hell I can afford them! But I'll make it happen if my number ever comes up. I'm assuming to climb 30 thousand spots (which will most likely never ever come up) but if it did it'll be 40 years from now. Right after retirement...with some money coming in from retirement...sounds like a match made in heaven.
Re: Let's Internet
I was on the list and forgot my account. So I contacted them and they said they didn't have a record of me and I should sign up again. I recently contacted them again and they sent me both numbers...but they're right next to each other so that doesn't really make sense.
Re: Let's Internet
That second link is a MUST SEE!!
It's 3/44 but Vasgersian is a tool!
DH Bradley
I noticed you left out Milton's first name in your lineup. He was the only one.
Can we refer to him as "DH" from now on?
Re: DH Bradley
Re: Let's Internet
I'm pretty sure Miles isn't going anywhere, but how would you propose getting rid of him if you could?
To Rob or anyone else.

First road trip to Milwaukee, tell Prince Fielder that Aaron Miles is, in fact, made up entirely of veggie burger.

Re: Let's Internet
no DeRosa in the starting lineup for the Tribe
Re: Let's Internet
It would have been difficult for DeRo to start since he was in Florida playing with Team USA.
Re: Let's Internet
Cubs get 2 runs in 1st...Snyder 2 rbi single after Gathright, DLee got on with singles, 1st and 3rd.
Bradley popped to 2nd, Dubois was hit by pitch which loaded the bases for Snyder's 2 run single

god bless the edit option...
Scott Eyre is still broke, how's Howry doin'

Gaudin sucketh...hit by pitch, double, HR, double ugly...3-2 Tribe

Thanks Dr. Aaron B for the redundancy.

Hate to be a downer, fellas, maybe it's the economy or something, but I'm not real optimistic about the year. Of course, I don't see much competition in the division, but I think Chi, Stl, Mil, and Cin will all be contenders. Cincy will surprise.

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
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.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er

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.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

March 1 federal budget cuts hit dairy, too
March 1 federal budget cuts hit dairy, too
Sequestration-led reductions could reduce USDA's budget by 5 to 8 percent. Few USDA programs will go untouched.
by Corey Geiger, Hoard's Dairyman Managing Editor
Sequestration went into effect on March 1 as a result of the Budget Control Act. And with it, the federal budget will be reduced by $85 billion this year or $1.2 trillion over the next decade if congressional leaders don't take any further action. While billions and trillions sound like large numbers — and they are — those cuts represent a mere 2 percent or so of the overall federal budget since some programs will receive no cuts.
For those of us operating dairy farms, we have faced steeper cuts in an attempt to simply cover escalating feed costs on our farms over the past half decade. Overall, budget cuts will range from 5 to 8 percent, depending on how one calculates the numbers. "Basically, it's fairly safe to say there will be no area in the USDA's domain that is untouched with one really big exemption," said Andrew Novakovic, an agricultural economics professor at Cornell.
"When Congress wrote the Budget Control Act, they specifically exempted a number of very large entitlement programs. Medicare and Social Security chief among those, but also food stamps or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) were completely exempted," said Novakovic, noting there would be no impact on benefits paid under those programs. "Also, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is protected by virtue of it being a contractual agreement with farmers to set aside those lands," said Novakovic, noting all others are subject to sequestration, in a podcast that can be found by clicking here.
There has been some talk on the news about the furlough of inspectors for meat plants and how this could affect the food supply. DTN's Chris Clayton reported in his blog, "For USDA, the cuts are effectively 5 percent across the board for the rest of the budget year. One of the biggest impacts could be furloughs of meat inspectors for the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS)," he said. "At the Commodity Classic on Friday, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack pointed out 87 percent of the budget for FSIS is payroll for inspectors," reported Clayton. "That means FSIS inspectors could face up to 22 days of furloughs."
"There are some executives who are exploring staging the timing of furloughs so there wouldn't be one day each week that every meat plant in the United States couldn't be open," said Novakovic in a podcast co-hosted by Mark Stephenson, the University of Wisconsin's director of dairy policy analysis. "But it would be like a rolling blackout, somewhere on any day a meat plant would be closed because they couldn't get an inspector there."
Since dairy isn't selling many products to the government, there shouldn't be as of an much issue. However, dairy could have its concerns depending how government officials implement the mandated cuts.
"The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has responsibility for determining the perimeters, the rules by which agency has to make cutbacks," said Novakovic. "Other time periods when there have been cutbacks that were required because of a failure to pass a budget or an appropriation, USDA and other agencies would have to do some fancy footwork to save some money but they could also prioritize," said Novakovic. "In this case, OMB is saying, no, you can't exempt any area. Every area is going to take a cut," said Novakovic.
This even included programs with user fees. "In dairy the big one is the Federal Milk Market Orders which are essentially entirely paid for by assessments made on processors," noted Novakovic even though that is fully funded.
Could MILC (Milk Income Loss Program) contracts be impacted?
The CCC (Commodity Credit Corporation) is subject to sequestration. "That means any program that comes out of the CCC, like MILC payments or payments made to crop farmers for marketing loan guarantees, are subject to sequestration," said Novakovic. "The estimate of that was 7.6 percent reduction. That percentage is probably going to get re-evaluated as they get some fresh numbers."
The last time the federal government faced sequestration was through Gramm Rudman. "It seemed like we played lots of games with Gramm Rudman," said Stephenson. "Is that going to happen this time around?" he asked.
"I doesn't look like it," said Novakovic when reflecting on the 1980's legislation. "The Gramm Rudman bill did include sequestration, but it also gave Congress other incentives or opportunities to find ways to close budget gaps. In dairy, of course, the infamous one was the Gramm Rudman assessments. In that environment one way to close the gap was to just charge farmers.
"It is really clear that there is no environment to politically support that," said Novakovic. "Legally, Congress could do that. But politically it's clear those kinds of alternatives simply will not fly. That leaves you with this meat ax, across the board cutting."
There are some other ways in which we could see some impacts for dairy.
"Folks who are active in futures markets may have noticed that the CME just recently put out a one-page letter talking about the possible effects of sequestration," said the Cornell professor. "At first blush, what would that be because the CME is a private business? Well in fact what they (CME) are concerned about is timely price reporting and being able to do for example a cash settle contract when you do know the price.
"The Dairy Market News program is subject to sequestration. The dairy mandatory price reporting could possibly be affected by furlough," said Novakovic. "This doesn't mean they could be done, but it could mean there could be some awkwardness in the timeliness of the reporting of these things because we might see delays because folks are being forced to take the day off," he suggested.

Lawsuit filed by family of woman crushed by monster truck outside Dallas topless bar

Attorneys for the parents of Kasey McKenzie announced the filing of the suit today.
She was killed when she was run over around 2 a.m. on March 17 by a jacked-up Ford pickup outside the Spearmint Rhino, on Composite Drive near Walnut Hill Lane.
The driver, 27-year-old Eric Brent Crutchfield (right), has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. He was taken to the Dallas County jail immediately after his arrest, but has since been freed on bond, according to Kim Leach, spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.
Crutchfield told police he'd been drinking at the Spearmint Rhino and at a bar in Addison. In all, he said, he'd had five rum and Diet Cokes. He told investigators that he never saw the woman, who was run over as the monster truck was pulling out of a parking space.
The suit says employees of the Spearmint Rhino served drinks to Crutchfield "even though it was, or should have been apparent… that Crutchfield was intoxicated to the extent that he presented a clear danger to himself and to others."
A person who answered the telephone at the Spearmint Rhino declined to comment about the lawsuit. He would not give his name.
The Schmidt Firm of Dallas filed the suit in behalf of McKenzie's parents and her estate.
Crutchfield, who has a previous felony conviction for drug possession, is also a defendant. The suit says he was driving on a suspended license.

VIENNA, 18 September 2012 - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) have formalized their collaboration to enhance technical support to the Member States.
A Practical Arrangement outlining the terms of the collaboration was signed today by Kwaku Aning, Head of IAEA's Department of Technical Cooperation and by Dmitri Piskounov, Managing Director of UNIDO's Programme Development and Technical Cooperation Division.
The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation between the IAEA and UNIDO in several specific areas, notably in the field of cleaner industrial production, which helps improve the environment by mitigating the impact of industrial production processes.
Under the collaboration framework, the IAEA and UNIDO will use each other's networks and UNIDO's National Cleaner Production Centres in different countries to share information on the technical advantages of nuclear techniques in cleaner industrial production processes.
"UNIDO welcomes the signature of this Practical Arrangement," said Piskounov. "It reflects the strong interest of both our organizations in promoting cleaner technologies for industrial application and assisting developing countries in achieving sustainable development."
Nuclear technology is used for analyzing and processing a range of industrial materials, thus, it helps industries to achieve green growth. Nuclear applications, such as e-beam technology are widely used for wastewater treatment, while radiotracers can be used to detect pollutants and trace their sources, and thereby reduce industrial pollution.
"This cooperation will provide an opportunity to raise awareness of the benefits and comparative advantage of nuclear techniques in the green economy," said Aning. "We are looking forward to working with UNIDO to make the best use of nuclear technology for environmental protection."
Current cooperation between the IAEA and UNIDO is most advanced in Viet Nam, where the country's Cleaner Production Centre has facilitated access to and potential cooperation with the textile manufacturing industries and related dyeing industries for which wastewater treatment using conventional and e-beam technology is anticipated.
Through the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training related to Nuclear Science and Technology for Asia and the Pacific (RCA), UNIDO has participated in a regional workshop on green technologies in agriculture, environmental protection and cleaner industrial processes.
UNIDO and IAEA share common development objectives in promoting industrial development for poverty reduction and environmental sustainability, and in the development of green economies.
