A 63-year-old woman called police to report that she had been having ongoing issues with her 66-year-old neighbor The two were arguing over property lines. She told the officer that she had a surveyor come to her residence and separate the property line. After doing so, she said her neighbor came across onto her property and pulled up the surveyor's marking.
The officer asked the complainant if she witnessed her neighbor do this and she admitted that she had not.
After speaking to the complainant, the officer went and spoke to the alleged suspect neighbor.
She told the police officer that she had not stepped foot on her neighbor's property since 1998 and that her neighbor "had mental problems," according to the report"
She was placed on trespass notice from the complainant's property, however.
Arm warmers?
A 17-year-old Mount Pleasant kid with no money went into a boutique and helped herself to an item. That item, in the dead of summer, happened to be arm warmers.
They were worth $6.50.
The assistant manager saw her take the arm warmers off the shelf and put them in her purse, the report stated. The assistant manager called police and explained that it was against store policy to approach a shoplifter inside the store so she waited until the alleged thief exited the store and she asked her to stop. The 17-year-old admitted to stealing the arm warmers, gave them back and said she would pay for them. She begged the assistant manager not to call police, according to the incident report.
The assistant manager explained that she had to call police, and the suspect said she understood and waited at the checkout area until an officer arrived.
There were no surveillance cameras in the store, but the suspect admitted to the officer that she really wanted the arm warmers and she did not have any money for them so she tried to steal them.
She said she knew it was wrong to take them and that she had never been in any trouble before. She was arrested and taken to jail.
A representative of Laurel Hill Plantation, a soon-to-be-open Charleston County Park, called police because someone had torn up a tent and opened water bottles set out for an upcoming event.
After several incidences of vandalism officials installed cameras along the trails. They've noticed an increase of activity from riders. Photos show a group and then a lone rider.
They come in via surrounding neighborhoods. The representative of the park service said she would like an investigation into the vandalism and plans to pursue charges.
You never know
Thank goodness for an off-duty police officer who happened to be jogging the bridge one day before his shift started.
He was jogging when he noticed a man in a polo shirt, khaki shorts and running shoes. The report said his gait did not appear to be that of someone who runs regularly for exercise. "He appeared to be intently focused on catching up to a female jogger a short distance ahead of him," the report said.
The officer noticed that the female did not appear to be aware of the man's presence.
The officer crossed the road and the male jogger noticed the officer as he did so. The report said the jogger kept glancing over his shoulder at the off duty officer.
When the female reached an intersection she stopped and waited for the cross walk. The male bypassed her and turned right. The officer followed the man in an attempt to catch up with him, all while calling for backup, but lost sight of him. Once officially on the clock, the officer checked with nearby businesses to see is they had surveillance cameras. The investigation is ongoing.
Four minute heist
An alarm at a local jewelry store went off one evening summoning police. When they arrived they saw the front window shattered and the frame broken.
Inside were five broken jewelry cases with items missing from each case. The store's cameras gave police an better idea of what took place inside.
It was a one-man job. He broke the front window, climbed through it and walked through the store. He was carrying a large black object used to break the cases. He was in the store for four minutes before leaving. The suspect took several dozen watches, gold charms and necklaces, rubies, tanzanites, turquoise and other gems.
Very mature
A 51-year-old woman was told she could'nt swim in her neighborhood pool because it was closed for the evening.
Out of anger, she pushed the pool attendant out of the way and left. The pool attendant's employer told her she needed to file a police report. With that she contacted police and informed them of the situation.
The officer contacted the suspect at home but she was not willing to speak to him about the incident. The case was closed due to lack of cooperation from both parties.
Help yourself
A Charleston woman brought her six kids into Mount Pleasant to go shopping. However, she led by poor example, showing them how to steal, get caught and then get let off easily.
According to a ploice report, she was caught taking some items and detained with her six kids by the loss prevention manager.
Police arrived and she admitted to shoving some items into her purse that she did not intend to pay for, according to a police report.
Due to her having six kids at the scene, she was given a courtesy summons for her court date regarding shoplifting. According to the report she took jewlery, panties, boxers, leggings, shorts and tank tops valued at $240.
She was also placed on trespass notice.

The South Carolina Historical Society announces its annual fall tour through the Cooper River Historic District. On Sunday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., members of the Historical Society will enjoy exploring beautiful plantations, churches and ruins and lunching in the peaceful gardens of Mepkin Abbey.
Tickets are $65 per person. This price includes access to all of the sites and catered lunch at Mepkin Abbey from noon to 3 p.m. Purchase tickets at www.southcarolinahistoricalsociety.org.
Cooper River Ramblings, this self-guided tour, will focus on the fertile region around the meeting of the east and west branches of the Cooper River.
The region was home to some of the oldest settlements and industry in South Carolina and, in the eighteenth century, thrived as a center of rice cultivation and saw the emergence of some of South Carolina's grandest plantations.
Many of these plantations were acquired in the nineteenth century by northerners seeking warmer climates and the historic properties largely remained preserved today.
Stops on the tour include Middleburg Plantation, Mulberry Plantation, Mepkin Abbey, Cedar Hill Plantation, Cainhoy Plantation, the Sir John Nesbitt House, the Comingtree Plantation ruins, Taveau Memorial Church and Cemetery and more.
Currently in its 158th year of collecting, preserving and publishing the history of the Palmetto State, the South Carolina Historical Society, headquartered at the Robert Mills Fireproof Building in Charleston, is the state's oldest historical society and one of its largest private manuscript archives. Since its founding in 1855, the society has been the guardian of South Carolina's written past, and without its safekeeping, countless vital historic documents would have been lost.
For more than 100 years, the society has published a quarterly scholarly journal, the South Carolina Historical Magazine. During that time, more than 1,500 articles regarding the history of our state and the genealogy of its residents have appeared within the pages of the Historical Magazine. The society also publishes a newsletter, Carologue, which is sent out quarterly to its more than 3,400 members.

Family: Dealing with sibling rivalry
Since Cain and Abel, sibling rivalry has been an age-old problem.
The term "sibling rivalry" was coined by David Levy in 1937 in relation to the common aggressive response of an older sibling to a new baby in the family. It is also used to describe competition or antagonism between children of the same parents.
It has various causes. Freud thought it was connected to the Oedipus complex whereby sibling brothers would compete for their mother's love, or between sisters for their father's attention.
Kyla Boyse from the University of Michigan suggests it stems from a child's need to define himself or herself as an individual and to separate from a sibling.
Alfred Adler proposes that sibling rivalry is based on siblings "striving for significance" within their family.
Most psychologists believe that it stems from an innate desire to attain parental attention achieved through competing with the sibling.
Whatever the cause, the manifestation can be ugly.

Writing your Company's Safety Plan: I2P2 (Illness and Injury Prevention Plans) - What you Need to Know and Do
This webinar will be a basic, nuts and bolts program leading participants through the process of creating a written safety plan for evacuation, fire, hazard communication and Others, that complies with OSHA requirements.
Product ID: 702464
Training Level: Basic
Why Should You Attend:
The current Federal OSHA administration is taking steps to require employers to create and enforce Injury and Illness Prevention Programs, what they refer to as I2P2.
Safety plans can be written easily for your company to follow, engage your employees and demonstrate management support. Such plans reduce accidents and injuries, lower workers' compensation costs, not to mention comply with various state and now pending Federal safety laws. In California, failure to have written plans, (required for 20 years) are the leading basis for Cal/OSHA citations.
This session will be a basic, nuts and bolts program leading participants through the process of creating a written safety plan - evacuation plans (Emergency Action Plans), fire plans, hazardous communication plans (to deal with hazardous materials and material data safety sheets), and many employers also require lock out-tag out plans, fall protection plans, confined space plans and others.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Who is responsible for safety?
- How to communicate safety?
- Hazard identification and inspections.
- Records that should document a safety plan.
- How to evaluate your written safety plan.
- Sources of sample plans.
Who Will Benefit:
- Operations Managers
- Production Managers
- Human Resources
- Risk Managers
- CEO's
- Insurance Agents and Brokers
- Loss Control Staff
- Supervisors
- Trainers
- Management Development Staff

>This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have had bedding for 2.5 years for our master bedroom that I've refused to put up until there's fresh paint and redone floors (or carpet- that's being installed between 3-5 today). Well, last week Mr. B decided it was time to fix the plaster ceilings and walls. I was sent to choose a paint color. Not so easy.
Off to Home Depot I went after dropping BusyB at camp. I promptly looked at the wall of colors and got overwhelmed. Sure, things look good in the store, but at home? 24/7? Um….Thankfully, we were at the Glidden paint wall and were able to grab some giant (XL) color chips and 2 paint testers (hey, it isn't easy to commit to paint). See, I have the bedding and I can't wait to use it. But I want it to look nice, and warm, and welcoming. We've had problems before with a color being one way and looking 1000% different on the walls (Benjamin Moore's Pumpkin Spice, for example, on our old living room walls. In magazine? Stunning and warm. On our walls? BRIGHT pumpkin color. Seriously!! Mr. B still teases me for choosing based on color name but I didn't. I chose based on the magazine photo, not the name.
Anyway, thank goodness for affordable color testers and x-large paint chips. They have saved the day once again.
Other things I saw on the Glidden wall of goodness: FTop 10 Color Palettes (assembled by color experts to let you express your personality) and XL Paint Chips (which have 2 coordinating colors on the back for decorating assistance- plus you can bring it home and put it on the wall and see how it will look on your walls in your house). It kind of feels like you can't really screw up with colors if you have so many helpful coordination suggestions, you know?
More about the GliddenTM Ready-to-Go Paint Testers- which I love for so many reasons aside from making fun crafts for kids' rooms…
1. inexpensive and widely available at any Home Depot store
2. brush is included in the lid (seriously? genius!). spend a little before buying a whole gallon (or 2) and finding out too late that you don't like the color on your walls
3. great for touchups and stains. (think: sharpies, bic marks-a-lot perm. markers, etc)
4. easy to store
5. if you haven't used Glidden paints before, it lets you see the quality of the paint (you'll end up buying Glidden anyway I think, once you test it!)
I have to tell you also, that my neighbors had a party for their kids' birthdays. No gifts were requested- but they are my kids' close friends and we wanted to do something. I decided crafty was maybe a good route. They are smart like us and get testers also- she still had some left from each kid's room– so we painted some wood letters for their rooms in the exact matchy paint. Gotta love matchy…
Glidden Paint Room Painter is a really cool way to preview how your room will look, it really helps make choosing/seeing paint color easy!! What are you painting next?

No worries. This particular "attack" isn't new...it's probably just
being used a lot more. It's testing for low hanging fruit to target. If
your recursion is open to the world, it will be wicked easy to poison
your cache... moral of the story- patching is great, but make sure your
recursion ACLs are in place too.

The point in my post was asking if there was a known thing that occurred
that would have suddenly have spawned more of these kinds of queries
than in the past given that various people are seeing them.
Obviously I could research individual addresses - but my question wasn't
how to research them but rather if there was a known badness that had
suddenly started spawning more of them given that I was seeing them as
others also apparently were.
To that end Dawn's post more closely attempted to answer that than
I have by the way already created a blacklist. Again I was just
wondering if there was something new and exciting happening.

Disney Junior Apps: Must Have for Toddler Parents!Danielle
In the past week of my life, the same app on my iPad has saved the day a hand full of times. No seriously, out to dinner or breakfast with a toddler who is not verbal and hungry? Yeah, the only thing that can save the day is Mickey Mouse!
No Joke!
Yesterday morning Mickey Mouse saved the elderly couple next to us from a near nuclear meltdown from Addison. They thought it was the neatest thing since sliced bread that she could sit and smile at Mickey Mouse while we waited for our breakfast to be delivered. But it doesn't stop there, because Disney Junior has launched two new awesome kid friendly apps which will continue to save the day for millions of parents!
We have been using the Disney Junior Watch app in our house for roughly a month and our kids are able to watch all their favorite Disney Junior shows on demand. They are total Disney children, and during the summer, the older kid programing comes on earlier in the day which bums them out. (If you are a Comcast subscriber, you can watch a ton of the episodes daily via the app, but if you are not a Comcast subscriber you can watch all 10 episodes that aired that day.)
Bums me out too!
But now we have two new awesome Disney Junior apps to play with besides the main Disney Junior app. The brand new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally app (for iPad only) and the awesome new Jake's Never Land Pirate School app. Both are awesome and educational for your kids— and are age appropriate!
The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally app is for ages three and up, so the older toddlers get to enjoy the educational and free app! Who doesn't love a free app? Come on!
As for Jake's Never Land Pirate School app, you aren't limited to iPad play. It is available for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, and is for the same age group, three and up. Both are incredibly entertaining, educational and totally free!
So what are you waiting for? Take a minute and go download these awesome new and free apps!
Join us August 8th at 9 PM EST for a Disney Junior Twitter party! You could win an iPad. RSVP at http://bit.ly/QsXDE2 and use the hashtags #spon and #mackidtips
A big thanks to Disney Junior for sponsoring this campaign. Click here to see more of the discussion.

This unique and beautifully-made pen* is not for everyone, but if you already love fountain pens and their quirks, and wrinkle your nose at the esthetics of disposable hi-liners, you will love the Duo. As a gift, it will delight pen-heads, but I would be wary of giving it to an unsuspecting student or general-purpose reader.The Duo most certainly is not a substitute for disposable fiber-tip hi-liners. It yields a subtler, narrower line than a fiber-tip, and unlike a disposable, this pen works only when the nib is lower than the reservoir. This is a fountain pen, not a fiber-tip.The Duo's ink also bleeds through paper a bit more than a disposable; it will tend to show on both sides of newsprint, paperbacks and magazine paper. Not surprisingly, the ink performs best on papers that work best with fountain pen inks generally -- office and correspondence paper and of course Levenger's note cards and Circa Papers.The bottom line: This pen gets either a "5" or a "0" - it all depends on the user. The Duo is a special purpose tool that will delight pen-heads and frustrate unsuspecting readers. If you like to slouch on a couch with a disposable hi-liner,the Duo will infuriate you. But if you work at a desk and value a precise narrow line, this pen will open up new horizons in annotation.And a postscript. Passionate Duo owners should resist the urge to show off this pen to friends who aren't also pen-heads, or seriously compulsive readers with a drawer full of fiber-tip hiliners. These friends will admire your refined taste in writing tools, but everyone else will worry about their slightly-cracked friend who not only puts dayglo stripes on paper, but insists on using an expensive reproduction of a mid-century antique to do so.* I received this pen as a gift.,

Received this as a b-day gift & was thrilled! I am 1/2 way thru my PhD program so lots to highlight. I started using it immediately & first impression was that the nib dragged a bit, but new nibs do need to be broken in - I have been using a Mont Blanc fountain pen for years so def. have experience. Then found myself having to run the pen over the same lines of text repeatedly (not large text either - just average font size in academic text books). Finally, after I couldn't see where I had highlighted the day before because the ink dried dull and faint, I had to confess to the gifter that it would be best if it was returned, especially considering the $147 (at the time) price tag. I really, really wanted this to work out and I am sooo dissapointed.

Great Tool for Fountain Pen Lovers
By Buzz
from Undisclosed
The Pelikan M205 Duo Highlighter presents the same German quality you may be used to enjoying in your fountain pen collection. This one is much more specialized and ready to work from the moment you take it out of the box.The function is exactly the same as the standard M20X series pens. Piston fill, nice chrome highlights, and German engineering/precision.The nib is a BB (double broad) with a semi-flex feel that allows for limited line variation. I would refer to it's capability as an underliner rather than a true highlighter (but that's my style anyway). As you would expect, it's a very wet writer with a very good flow to lay down that highlighter line.The pictures clearly show it's a "demonstrator" style of pen that allows you to see all of the inner workings of your pen as well as the ink level remaining. Since this is a BB nib, you will see the ink level drop through normal use.I've used the pen with a range of papers from copy paper to fountain-pen-friendly paper to books, and you will be pleased with the results. In only a few circumstances should you see bleed-through on the paper.I can highly recommend this product as it now sits in my daily travel case for fountain pens. Great product from Pelikan!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The ink is outstanding
By dashreeve
from Lakeland, FL
If you have any 205 model this one is very similar, the trim is closer to the 400-405 model. The pen is what you would expect from Pelikan - but the line is thin. I am mostly impressed by the ink. I've tried many highlighting and fluorescent inks but this is by far the best. Seems to do well on lower quality paper as well. Mine usually has a dry spot to start but quickly flows after starting.
Interesting Product
By vapHouston

Bought this based on a reference from a co-worker - and am glad that I did! Never thought I'd spend this much on a highlighter, but am now finding myself highlighting more - and as a result, my notes are more effective. Great quality!
Happy buyer
By idream
from Wisconsin
I find this pen works on frist try, and performs well. The ink stays very visible after drying. On thinner paper it may bleed thru a little, but not bad. This is to be expected from any fountain pen. Very happy with the pen.
Delightful Alternative
By Cinny
from Fairfax, VA
Right width with perfect ink flow - doesn't smear the type.It serves my purpose in highting the text and of course I must remember that this is a fountain pen and not a fiber-tip.
Works for me!
By famousperson
from Pittsburgh, PA
First of all, it's a Pelikan. That says it all with respect to quality. I have been using it to highlight scholarly papers and books that I am using to write my PhD dissertation. It works perfectly--just the right width, perfect ink flow.and it doesn't smear the type.I've never enjoyed highlighting so much!

An editorial in the Aug. 28 Tomahawk Leader:
Last Tuesday, Peter Delp, a young man from Merrill, was sentenced in front of a judge for the felony arson he was convicted of committing in the town of Tomahawk last year. This fire was one of several that went along with a burglary spree throughout northern Wisconsin, affecting 65 property owners.
In the midst of the crime spree, Delp, along with his brother, fled the state to hide in Minnesota. Local law enforcement's noose started tightening after a break in the case and authorities from Lincoln and Oneida counties traveled across state lines to assist in the arrest of the pair and recover stolen property. Back home, their accomplices also were taken into custody.
Delp rolled the dice at a jury trial in April and was convicted of arson after a short deliberation. At his sentencing hearing, the owners of the destroyed home said their trust in people has been gone since the crime, and what was once their peaceful get-away now makes them apprehensive to stay there. The district attorney asked for a 10-year prison sentence – six years of incarceration followed by four years of extended supervision. Delp was sentenced to one year in the county jail with Huber work release privileges followed by nine years of probation.
Some may say this is a second chance for a young life, but we only have to look as far as online court records to see Delp already was living on a second chance. Facing two felony counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child in 2001, a plea bargain ended with a plea to a misdemeanor charge of sex with a child and a sentence of 18 months' probation and no jail time.
This latest sentence has to be disheartening for the law enforcement from here to Minnesota who spent countless hours investigating these crimes. As the burglary and arson ring caused ordinary citizens to start sleeping with one eye open, our deputies patrolled the rural roads hoping to catch up with the crew. When the case started to crack, investigators swooped in and did hundreds of more hours of investigations, interviews and follow-ups to this large and complex case. And as a result of this dedicated effort, Delp has to serve one year in the county jail.
We are not advocating prison sentences for everyone and we do believe in second chances. But after Delp's first burglary he had a chance to stop, after his first arson he had a chance to stop. When headlines blared in local newspapers, including the Tomahawk Leader, about the destruction and fear their crime spree was causing amongst property owners, Delp had a chance to stop. But he continued. And we have to wonder, has he learned a lesson?
The family who was the victim in this, too, has a second chance. A second chance to rebuild their property that was destroyed, a second chance to rebuild their trust in mankind. Let's just hope that their second chance is not ruined by the next group of burglars and arsonists who will probably be well aware of the lenient sentence handed down to the arsonist who went before them in Lincoln County Court.
(Note: Delp is facing six other charges, four of them felonies related to the burglary spree, and he has not been found guilty of any of those crimes. The other defendants in these cases who are facing felony charges have not yet been found guilty and are presumed innocent.)

Denmark study finds high incidence of mental illness in new mothers
December 7, 2006
Compared with women who had given birth 11 to 12 months prior, women giving birth for the first time had an increased risk of incident hospital admission with any mental disorder through the first 3 months after childbirth, with the highest risk 10 to 19 days postpartum. Among mothers, risk was also increased for psychiatric outpatient contacts through the first 3 months after childbirth, also with the highest risk occurring 10 to 19 days postpartum. Unlike motherhood, fatherhood was not associated with any increased risk of hospital admission or outpatient contact.

The Right to Be Forgotten Across the Pond
Meg Leta (Ambrose) Jones
Georgetown University - Communication, Culture, and Technology

KU Leuven - Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP)
September 21, 2012
2012 TRPC, Journal of Information Policy, Volume 3 (2013), pg. 1-23
The 'right to be forgotten' has gained increasing traction and significant debate on both sides of the Atlantic since the popularization of Viktor Mayer-Schonberger's 2009 book, Delete. The term has caused a great deal of media speculation since the European Commission's proposal for a new Data Protection Regulation in January 2012. The United State has also proposed a 'right to be forgotten' for children through an amendment to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. This article offers a brief history of the interest in individual liberation from one's informational past and analyzes the legislative language of the proposed right from each region. It then sorts conceptual conflation of the interest as it is brought into the Digital Age, outlining the many possible applications of the right as it is currently articulated. The article argues that the concept of 'oblivion' is quite distinct from the concept of 'erasure,' and should be treated as such. It then critically analyzes the implementation of the right to erasure, the more imminent of the two. The goal of this paper is to provide readers with a more comprehensive background on the right to be forgotten and argue for both conceptual and legal distinction to be made between erasure and oblivion.

Welcome Back, In this show we talk about a new Charter, My Son's Eagle Award, and Christmas.
2 thoughts on "SMMPodcast #99"
I just heard podcast #99 and have mixed feelings about it. Mainly about what is shared in public, on the podcast. I think you need to realize that this is a "public" forum on scouting. Others will hear it, especially the people you deal with in your council and district. And, I dare say, your scouts will hear it. Some of the things I heard I would not share with the public. They are in the realm of perceived injuries and hurt feelings. You should take a lot more time to sort them out and speak of them way in the future as struggles you went through "back then".
Of the chartering organization, you said "they lied". I understand that you do not feel they dealt fairly with you, and did not hold up to their agreement. But the most I would say in public is "It did not work out". You are in the middle of this mess. You should not be throwing strong accusations around in public. The people around you who hear this will be enflamed in their emotions, and the situation will get worse. Keep your dealings with these people private, until such time passes that you look upon it as ancient history, events that you struggled with and overcame.
Why, oh why, would you make a public statement like "that unit is not a healthy unit, although mine is. But it is not my place to tell them that." Jerry, do you really think that the leaders of that unit will not listen to the podcast and know exactly who you are talking about. Will your scouts not hear of this and look down on that unit and their scouts, harboring sentiments that they heard from their scoutmaster. And the other leaders in your district are going to "discuss" this opinion of yours, and give credence to it. After all, as a public figure, you have influence over the opinions of others. Not a good situation.
I am glad that through all the struggles, you and your troop are determined to carry on, and seek a new CO that will support your program. This could be a teaching moment for the troop. I would involve my older scouts in the search for a new CO. They could make calls to prospective churches and civic groups, and be with you in discussions with prospective organizations.
And finally, congratulations to your son on earning his Eagle. I was proud as could be when my son got his a few years ago. I have it as my goal that scouts in our troop, as adults, will look back fondly at their scouting experience, and see the benefits scouting has brought them.
Good luck with the move.

LISBON - Two years after choosing U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson over then incumbent Charlie Wilson, the voters in Ohio's 6th District decided to keep Johnson in the rematch.
In Columbiana County, Johnson was leading with nearly 53.2 percent of the votes with all precincts in.
As of about 10:45 p.m., throughout the rest of the district Johnson had sizable lead of more than 60 percent in his home county of Washington and his largest margin of victory was in Muskingum by 63 percent.
Johnson was leading in 13 counties, while Wilson was leading in his home county of Belmont with 50.6 percent of the votes and 98.6 percent of precincts in. Wilson also was winning in Monroe County with 55 percent of votes with 67.8 percent reporting. Finally, Wilson
was leading in Tuscarawas County where with 96.3 percent of precincts reporting, he had 56.5 percent of the vote.
Wilson previously served two terms as the congressman in the 6th District, elected in 2006 after winning the Democratic primary as a write-in candidate and then defeating Republican Chuck Blasdel. In 2008, Wilson defeated Republican challenger Richard Stobbs.
Johnson defeated Wilson in 2010, a year when many congressional seats swung toward Republicans, giving the GOP an advantage in the House of Representatives.

Some Good News...
Aramis Ramirez should be able to play Friday and the Pittsburgh Pirates are coming to town...and we're on day 10,256,753(est.) of the last apocalyptic asteroid hitting the Earth.
That's all I got...hey, you get what you pay for here at TCR.
Okay fine, more ranting, raving and rumbling after the jump...
- I guess when the team is playing so bad, it's easy to set your sights elsewhere, but the guy turning himself in who threw the beer at Shane Victorino is "breaking news?" Really? Sun-Times had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 articles (cue Feist ) on it last night.
- Justin Berg was perfectly adequate in his 2 inning major league debut last night, throwing 17 strikes on 26 pitches inducing 3 ground-balls outs including a double play with his sinker/change combo.
- The answer to the Cubs second base problem apparently is hoping that Jeff Baker stays hot. Why not?
- Somehow the writer of this "rumor" for Yahoo got "The word is that Cubs executives are not amused." and that "The rumor going around is that the team may be losing patience with Piniella, according to the Chicago Tribune." If you look at the actual Trib article, there's no mention of any Cubs executives and it's just a piece by Paul Sullivan trying to stir the pot that Lou is beginning to receive some heat, but it doesn't specify from whom and most likely he's just trying to compare it how the fans turned on Dusty Baker if you examine the quotes from players. Nothing to see here...move along.
- There was a request to create an open thread and discuss how to fix the team. Here's my take...keep Aramis healthy. The team is 26-17 when he' s played...32-38 without. In somewhat seriosness though, they'll be more time for what the Cubs should do this offseason, but if you're gonna play that game now, just try to keep in the mind the difficulty in trading players and then multiply by 1,000 when you take into account most of these guys contracts. No one is going to touch Alfonso Soriano right now, so if you think the Cubs need to move money, your best trade bets are Derrek Lee and Ted Lilly in the lasy year's of their deal or maybe Kosuke Fukudome if he keeps up the hitting the rest of the year.
- Randy Wells vs. Charlie Morton today, Tom Gorzelanny against his old teammates and Zach Duke on Saturday and Russ Ohlendorf and Rich Harden on Sunday.
Enjoy the weekend....
Re: Some Good News...
Good news: our record is still better than the southsiders. If that means anything to you. Me? I just want to stay ahead of the Brewers and asstrolls.
Re: Some Good News...
Actually, if the Cubs don't win it I'd love it if the Brewers did. Anybody other than the Cardinals, who I despise at the depth of my soul. And the White Sox, I'm indifferent about. Too many family members who like them.
Anybody but the Cardinals is my only mantra.
Re: Some Good News...
I only really completely "hate" the White Sox when they play the Cubs. Otherwise I could give a shit.
I like some of their players, and my nephew has met Gordon Beckham in social situations and said really complimentary things about the young guy.
Re: Some Good News...
Living in Kenosha (on the Il/WI border) I don't want the Brewers near the World Series. It'd be more hell than it already is here with the Sox fans popping out of the woodwork as it is.
Re: Some Good News...
"There was a request to create an open thread and discuss how to fix the team."
ha ha, thanks, Rob, and my apologies to my fellow sufferers for my cantankerousness. How that word didn't end up getting squiggled is beyond me.
But really, Rob G. started it all with his RIP too early post and I say, no, not too early.
It's going to take all the great minds here to fix this club and if you think the incoming GM is not reading forums, at least to check the pulse of his customers, I say you're nuts.
I make a ton of money working for a company that is in the news a lot and we look at forums all the time.
We think most of the people are cranks but there are a LOT of educated people out there and especially here.
I actually qualify as a crank. Most of you are experts.
I'm sorry but I've been watching baseball too long to think this team has any life in it. Pray I'm wrong but I'm not.
Re: Some Good News...
Ram scratched w/flu.
Bradley injured his "hammy" yesterday and also is scratched.
He did it needlessly running through the bullpen and hitting the home plate there after a catch.
He ran like 30-40 yards extra after his nice catch.
Re: Some Good News...
I like Sam Fuld. I think he is a positive for this team.
Cheery thoughts, people!
Re: Some Good News...
With a different manager he could be another Sammy.
Re: Some Good News...
Re: Some Good News...
And the extra point is good!!
also...what is the Cubs record when Sam Fuld starts?
Re: Some Good News...
The Cubs are 15-12 in games in which he plays. It appears they are 3-4 in the games he starts... but that is not true research, just an educated guess using the Gamelog on ESPN.
Re: Some Good News...
Re: Some Good News...
Why can't Randy Wells ever get any run support?
Re: Some Good News...
Randy Wells want runs, he gotta score them hisself
Re: Some Good News...
D-Lee, mailing it in again. Trade him.
Re: Some Good News...
Way to use up all of the season's remaining runs in one game against the Pirates.
Re: Some Good News...
Oh yeah, it's almost like clockwork that they look so miserable against the Phillies, like making you question why you follow this ridiculous game of baseball and is there a God and will anybody notice when I punt the dog into the hedge and then, then they come out the very next day and just murderlize a team and there are rainbows and chocolate sprinkles raining from the sky and you can read the paper again tomorrow morning thinking, OK, all they have to do is get within 2 of the Cards by mid-September and all bets are off.
Soriano still sucks it though.
Re: Some Good News...
Awesome. Post of the month?
"...and will anybody notice when I punt the dog into the hedge..." hahahahaha or jajajaja for Carlos
Re: Some Good News...
The Cubs found their missing offense! Color me not too excited lol...lets go Padres!
Re: Some Good News...
How many times do we get to play the Bucs in 2009?
This is such Bullshit.
It only proves how overmatched the Cubs are against the better clubs in the NL.
False bravado for the team. Its the same as Montana State Community College playing Texas in College Football.
The Pirates as Rob G states
are a AAA team. BFD!
Re: Some Good News...
We were talking in Parachat just as the game ended that the Nats offense has been much better since the Nyjer Morgan trade. I found a link after the game... Washington Post, August 11...
"Pre-Morgan, the Nats were 21st in the majors in runs scored. Since Morgan's arrival, they're third."
Re: Some Good News...
Interesting. They have a lot of thunder in that lineup... Dunn, Willingham, Zimmerman...
Re: Some Good News...
Well that is nice for them.
On another note, did you discuss how wretched our starting pitching has been since we got two pitchers from the Pirates?
Re: Some Good News...
Hahahaa, that Becker is so grumpy. That's why he's so charming, because he's predictably grumpy. lol lol lol
Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
We've been waiting a long time for a Cub to hit for the cycle and one finally did today.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I still think Felix Pie has the ability to be a fine ML centerfielder. He got hurt halfway through 2005, but still put up decent AAA numbers in 06. I think he, like Corey Patterson, was screwed up by "batting coaches" who said "OK, you're a speedy black left-hander, we're not sure you're going to make it as a power hitter, so we want you to start slapping at the ball and be a leadoff hitter." As Bill James showed almost 20 years ago, this almost never works, and Pie is probably finished as a big-league hitter. There were rumors that Pie enjoyed the Chicago nightlife too much; if so, whoever played Billy Martin to his Mickey Mantle should burn in Hell, but it's still his responsibility. My official position on this is that Felix Pie, by now, isn't going to make it, but I for one would be very happy if he made a MLB All-Star team some day.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
You think Corey Patterson would have been successful at the major league level if he was told to just keep swinging for the fences?
I was as optimistic as just about anyone when it came to Corey, but I don't think it was just batting coaches who screwed him up. Or are you talking about some batting coaches during his minor league time that attempted to alter his swing in ways I'm not aware of?
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
"hoever played Billy Martin to his Mickey Mantle should burn in Hell"
I believe I heard it was Soriano.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
If I recall correctly, it started with Don Baylor. Baylor fancied himself a batting expert, but it seemed to me his theory was "hey, you look like so-and-so, so that's how you should hit." He thought Corey looked like a speedy leadoff man; I remember him talking about Corey "going to the opposite field." He did the same thing with Julio Zuleta. He was a big guy with a closed stance, looked like he'd get tied up by inside pitches, but was doing all right. Baylor noticed the resemblance to Andres Gallaraga, who opened up his stance with good results, so, in the middle of the season, got Zuleta to open his stance too. You can imagine what this did to his view of the ball, so he started to struggle, which reduced his playing time, which led to the death spiral of Zuleta's career. (Which wasn't much, but he had some potential.)
I don't know whether Patterson would have been successful if he had been left alone at the big-league level. I do think that the only way he could have been successful would have been as a low-OBP, high-strikeout power hitter, which, combined with good defense in center field, would have been enough to make a career. The fact that he didn't really progress as he moved up through the minors is a sign that he might not have made it, but I keep thinking about 2003 before he got hurt.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
I heard a great interview with a long-time Cubs scout (Don Something-or-Other)on Nashville radio. He talked about a wide range of topics, but one of the things that he talked about that really stuck with me was what he had to say about the Cubs rushing prospects through the system.
The scout admitted that rushing prospects to the big leagues was a league-wide problem and that the Cubs were no exception. The talk then turned to Corey Patterson and Felix Pie. The scout was very complimentary of Felix Pie and lamented the fact that he had been rushed. He blamed the organization for Pie's lack of success.
But when he talked about Patterson, you could just hear the venom in his voice. Although he was politically correct in what he said, he basically blamed Patterson for his own problems, said that he wouldn't listen to anyone that worked with him, and predicted he would never realize his potential.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
I always liked Patterson and wanted him to succeed. I loved the way he looked roaming the outfield and thought he played with a lot of effort.
However, I never got the sense that, even if the organization was trying to make him a slap hitter, he listened much to batting coaches. He did the same thing everyday he played with the Cubs. He had one swing and one swing only. I guess I can't say that he didn't try to adjust, but I didn't see the adjustments when game time came.
Re: Top Cub Prospect hits for Cycle
I don't recall Pie being rushed.
They almost called him up out of AA in June or July 2005, but he had injured his ankle. Adam Greenberg got that gig instead.
That was the problem with the organization back then. It was either Felix Pie or Adam Greenberg.
By the time Pie got to Chicago, he had done pretty well at every level.
He was never going to hit till he was twenty-six, anyway. Von Joshua used to refer to him as "just a baby." That was last year!
Re: Some Good News...
BP's Kevin Goldstein takes notice...
Brett Jackson, OF, Cubs (Low-A Peoria)
Wednesday's stats: 3-for-4, 2 HR (4), 3 R, 4 RBI, BB
The Cubs first-round pick in June, Jackson is a big, toolsy athlete who has a lot of swing-and-miss in him. While he's now hitting .338 across three levels, the power hasn't showed up until recently. After hitting just one home run in his first 116 pro at-bats, he has now slugged four in his last nine games. An outstanding defensive centerfielder who also features plus speed, he has the tools to make a lot of teams look silly for passing on him.
Re: Some Good News...
Sooner or later, the Cubs are bound to draft a positional college player with their first pick in the draft that actually develops into a bona fide, regular ML starter. That would go back to Doug Glanville (UPenn) in 1991. Kevin Orie did play in 114 and 112 games in '97 and '98 - don't know how many starts...
Was surprised to see that the Cubs have only drafted two college position players with their 1st pk since 1991: Brooks Kieschnick (1993 - 10th overall pk) and Tyler Colvin (2006 - 13th pk). Including compensatory 1st rd picks, you get Kevin Orie (1993 - 29th pk), Josh Donaldson (2007 - 48th pk), and Ryan Flaherty (2008 - 41st pk). Nice to see Flaherty flashing some power at Peoria the 2nd half of this season.
Last 1st rd college pitcher - regular Cub starter: Mark Prior (2001)
Last 1st rd HS position player - regular Cub starter: K-Pat (1998)
Last 1st rd HS pitcher - regular Cub starter: Kerry Wood (1995); John Garland was selected in 1997
The Cubs have drafted 3 HS position players in the 1st rd since 1998: Montanez, Harvey and Vitters (all high selections)
Cubs have selected 3 HS pitchers in the 1st rd since Wood: Garland, Todd Noel, Mark Pawelek.
Cubs have selected 5 college pitchers in the 1st rd since Prior: Bobby Brownlie, Luke Hagerty, Chadd Blasko, Matt Clanton (all 4 taken in 2002 - not a kind year) and Cashner last year ....
FWIW: last Cub 1st Rd HS position player to play in the All-Star game: Shawon Dunston in 1990. Last Cub 1st Rd college position player to play in the All-Star game: Raffy Palmeiro in 1988.

Re: Some Good News...
So Cedeno almost throws away a routine groundout by Theriot.
Then he almost nails Bradley on a near-highlight reel play.
Such drama.
Re: Some Good News...
Wow. Thanks umps. D Lee leaves the base line to avoid a tag and the ump calls him safe anyways.
Re: Some Good News...
Jeff Baker drives in Bradley and D Lee nailed at the plate.
That inning was a big bag of "what the fuck?"
Re: Some Good News...
Gorz better stop walking guys or he'll be moved to 8th inning duties in close games.
Re: Some Good News...
Re: Some Good News...
heh...in the past week baker's added about 100 points to his average.
crappy protection for jake fox, but it's not like soriano is protecting anyone lately...worked out.
no walks from marmol and no homers from gregg.
too bad this is PIT...you pretty much expect these wins. blowing into LA next week should be fun.
Re: Some Good News...
missed the game, btw...
why was gorz removed after 5 and 83 pitches? just cuz? injury? something?
Re: Some Good News...
Re: Some Good News...
why was gorz removed after 5 and 83 pitches?
Lou on postgame said it was because he had injured his foot in the colorado start and hadn't had the typical amount of prep between starts, so they planned on holding him to a lower pitch count (or something to that effect)
Re: Some Good News...
Re: Some Good News...
That and he sucks.
Re: Some Good News...
Thank you to the baseball gods for sending the Pirates right after getting swept by the Phillies.
It would be great if Gorzo continued to develop as a valuable lefty for our rotation.
Re: Some Good News...
"too bad this is PIT...you pretty much expect these wins. blowing into LA next week should be fun."
LA isn't playing well lately, but the real problem for west coast games is staying up late. If they are losing it's trouble sleeping due to anxiety, if they win it's trouble sleeping due to singing Go Cubs GO. It's all fun.

in Sept. auggie ojeda (ARZ) has his own bobblehead night.
how about that? awesome.

Re: Some Good News...
Went to a Gary Railcats game tonight and saw Andy Shipman come in the 9th as the closer to nail down a 4-3 win over league-leading Winnipeg Goldeyes, pulling the 'Cats into a tie for first place with the Goldeyes in the Northern League (Independent minor league). If you recall, Andy was with the Cubs system from 2004-06, last pitching with Iowa in 2006 before moving on to the A's in 2007-08 and being released part way through 2008 and landing in the Northern League after that. Looked pretty effective, popping a fastball up to 92 mph and striking out the Goldeye's 3 & 4 hitters to nail down the save.
Re: Some Good News...
This is why the players generally hate the media, because if they don't comply with an interview they report stuff by innuendo...
"The longer Zambrano goes without answering any questions, the more it appears he's hiding something."
Paul Sullivan, you're the jerk this time.
Re: Some Good News...
it happens too much, and i hate it when the writers team up to call out someone who's not giving them their stories...as if it's owed to them or they need shaking down.
years of Z giving them stories and soundbites? whatever...
what you done for me lately? meh.
waaah...we can't get our story. let's lean on the manager to sell him out and make excuses for him. oh, that don't work. let's implicate the cubs training staff (seen this before?) and force hendry out to make a comment.
some people appreciate this...as readers/fans. myself, i could care less about Z's back except when it's ready to get back on the mound.
Re: Some Good News...
here's the link to Z finally granting an interview...oddly enough he needs to work on his abs/crunches
I don't have a big belly, you all know I have a flat stomach. A little fat here and there, but I don't have a big belly like [former lefty reliever] Ray King. My problem is I need to do more ab work so my back will feel strong."
Re: Some Good News...
My understanding is that the idea is that strengthening your abs improves posture and creates balanced strength, taking stress off of your back.
We've got to have a personal trainer who reads the blog though...
Re: Some Good News...
pretty much as Charlie said...
the abdominal muscles are farther away from the arc of movement of the spine, so if they are stronger can have more leverage to support the spine (Work = Force x Distance), compared to the muscles that run along the spine.
in the old days, a back brace was standard rx for acute symptoms because it reinforces and supports the abdomen as well as the lumbar spine, but the downside is if one doesn't strengthen the abdominals the brace does the work and the abdominals weaken ultimately not helping the situation. So a brace is useful only as a short term solution.
taken from this link below:
The abdominal muscles work with the back muscles to stabilize the spine so that the spine is kept in a neutral position. So, if your abdominal muscles are weak, you may overcompensate with your back muscles when lifting or playing sports, leading to the danger of a back sprain.
typical exercises recommended for low back pain treatment:
Re: Some Good News...
I'm pretty sure Pie didn't get rushed...but a full season of playing time and working at the MLB level may have been a nice idea instead of yanking him around AAA - MLB...starting...sitting...etc.
Meh...moving forward...
Recent comments
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
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
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.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

Thanks Charles and Steve. Really cool stuff. As it happens, I am looking for hosting for my take on a *witter service with an Astoria backend and a smart client (and SL client in the works after I get better VS-SL support..hint Any chance a fellow
9'er with a new social service can get a "token" for the Azur ctp so I can host it?
I understand that Azure and Microsoft Server 2008 are complementary technologies. Are there plans to help port code for Windows server 2008 to Azure and vice versa. What will be the issues here and what are the limitations as per current implementation
of azure.
The idea being that initially a small company might start out with Azure and rely on its scalability solutions. Eventually the company might want to move to self hosted servers using Windows Server 2008. In that case, developers would prefer the transition to be as easy and bug free as possible. Are such scenarios being considered?
What about providing solutions so that users have a inhouse azure environment e.g. My company decides that we need to maintain the data on our own local servers, then all I need to do is go buy say 20 servers, and then use a framework to create a mini azure environment inhouse. There will be maybe 2 fabric controllers which keep in sync and ensure that there is no single point of failure and beyond that all the remaining machines are maintained by these controllers just as azure is doing currently in data centers. Providing such a solution would allow companies to switch between azure in microsoft datacenter and 'mini azure' with their own servers relatively easier.

Much to the likes of recent trends in vampires, werewolves, and zombies, several months ago the Kickstarter Zombies, Run! vowed to turn your fascination with the undead into a fun way to get some exercise in. Today, the game has finally come to fruition.
Unlike sitting at home and spending hours on Xbox's Left 4 Dead series unmoved, the Zombies, Run! app immerses you into the post-apocalyptic, dystopian world where zombies have overrun your town. The game will deliver stories into your headphone as you take character and begin to walk, jog or run to escape from zombies. Each mission includes gaming aspects like turning left and right to find key items to accomplish required tasks and making decisions to help any survivors you may come across. For example, if you've collected medicine and find a soldier and a doctor, who would you give the pills to?
The main objective of the game, aside from not getting eaten by zombies, will be to collect batteries to keep your safe house base functioning as you try to uncover what happened to your world. It is imperative for the app to have a exciting, interactive and engaging storyline or else users will not continue to have interest in running or finding out more of what happened in the game.
There are currently 30 missions in the app's first season which lasts about 20 to 30 seconds each. Every one of your exercising sessions will be recorded into the app so you can analyze at a later time how you want to change the intensity level of your work outs. If you don't want to hear all the screams and moans from the zombies, you can also load your own soundtrack and run to your own beat.
The company believes the gamification of exercising will trick people into becoming so consumed with the game's adventures, they forget to realize how much exercise they are doing. When the app was still in its funding phase on Kickstarter, it had a goal of $12,500. By the end date on October 10, it garnered a whopping $72,627 and said it will take the extra money to create a "couch-to-5K" marathon feature and tried to get famous actors to lend their voices to the game.
"It's really important to us that this isn't just gamification," Adrian Hon, the game designer of Zombies, Run! told Wired in an e-mail last fall. "We haven't just put experience points and levels and nonsense badges onto running — that stuff feels really shallow really quickly. It's probably more like a role-playing game than anything else."
Zombies, Run! is currently only available on iOS for $7.99 while the official site promises an Android version later this spring. If you're sold by the game's premise, let us know in the comments if you've shed any pound while running to keep yourself alive from the zombie apocalypse.

The graduate sport management program is the natural development of our long-standing and successful undergraduate program, which is one of the largest in the nation.
A growing number of organizations are incorporating behavioral assessments as part of their hiring and employee development processes. In 2012, Assistant Professor Dr. David P. Hedlund began administering DISC behavioral assessments to students in his sport management classes at St. John's University. The program has since been expanded and the MPS in Sport Management program at SJU is one of the first to use DISC assessments with all of its students.
