A Good Avenue man was sentenced today to up to three years in prison on second-degree assault and weapons convictions for stabbing another man in the face after an argument in a cab at Paderewski Drive and Sears Avenue.
Hadid B. Askia, 30, while working as a taxi driver, slashed a Buffalo man across the face several times with a steak knife Sept. 22, 2011, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
State Supreme Court Justice Christopher J. Burns sentenced him to two years on the assault conviction and one to three years for the weapons convictions. The sentences will run concurrently.
He was convicted in a bench trial of stabbing Christopher Southerns, 29 at the time, in the face after they argued in a cab, Buffalo police said. The District Attorney's Office has said the attack was in retaliation for a 2004 incident in which Askia claimed the victim was involved.

Tyrell Sutton, Kregg Lumpkin, Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn combined for 202 rushing yards and likely will make the coaches' roster decisions a little tougher.

"At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," the BC Coroners Service says in a statement released Tuesday.
Police spokesman Constable Brian Montague said, "There was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose."
He did not reveal what that evidence was, but that it was believed Monteith was alone when he died. The actor had been out earlier with three other people. Their identities were not revealed but Montague said they were two women and a man.
The cause of the Glee star's death at age 31 was determined by an autopsy and toxicology tests. An investigation by the coroner continues, but Montague said the police portion of the investigation is completed.
"Mr. Monteith's family has been made aware of the circumstances surrounding the death," the Coroners Service says. "On behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time."
The Canadian native completed a month-long stint in a treatment facility for substance addiction in April and had been open about his lifelong struggles with substance abuse.
It's still unclear what happened after Monteith arrived in Canada and checked into the Fairmont Pacific Rim on July 6. He and his manager dined on Thursday night with Maureen Webb, the co-founder of Project Limelight Society, who said the actor "looked so good, so healthy."
Police say that the next night, Monteith and the three people left his hotel room and that the actor returned alone at about 2:15 a.m. Saturday. A hotel staff person found his body shortly after noon when Monteith didn't check out.
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - By the time the North Tahoe boys hit their stride against visiting Pershing County on Saturday, a moral victory was all that remained within reach.
The Lakers achieved just that, rebounding from a sluggish start to outscore the Mustangs in the second half of their Division III basketball game. But the hot second half wasn't enough to overcome the large early deficit, and Pershing County withstood the late run to hang on for a 55-39 win.
"We were just cold shooting," said North Tahoe coach Frank Wright, describing the difference between the first and second halves. "Our shots started to fall (in the second half) and we started to get rebounds."
Pershing County took advantage of North Tahoe's early shooting woes with a big second quarter. By half, the visitors' 10-6 lead at the end of the first quarter had ballooned to 32-11.
The Mustangs then scored the first eight points of the second half to push their lead to the largest margin of the night, at 40-11.
Wright called a timeout to stop the bleeding, and the Lakers responded with a 10-0 run against Pershing County's second unit, including a pair of free throws and a bucket inside by Mitchell Myers, and a couple of old-fashioned three-point plays by Colin Spencer.
Terrell Callao-George banked in a 3-pointer to halt the Lakers' run late in the third quarter. North Tahoe continued to work the ball inside to Spencer and Myers in the fourth, while junior point guard Alex Tyler hit a 3-pointer and caused several steals as the Lakers picked up their defensive pressure in the final frame.
"The kids did a great job fighting and not giving up," said Wright, whose team outscored Pershing County 16-11 in the fourth quarter. "This team does not give up. But they (the Mustangs) are a good team."
Neither team lit up the net in the first quarter. Pershing County scored the first 8 points before Tyler hit a free throw nearly nine minutes in. Myers followed with a bucket and two free throws and Sean McDermott scored on a fast break to pull North Tahoe to within 10-6 by the end of the first quarter.
Pershing County dialed up its full-court pressure in the second quarter, pestering Tyler as he tried to bring the ball up the floor. The Mustangs also burned the Lakers' zone defense on several occasions with backdoor cuts that led to easy layups. Other times the visitors converted offensive rebounds into points, or made the Lakers pay from the perimeter.
The Mustangs' considerably deeper bench helped their cause, as they substituted five players at a time while North Tahoe made due with seven players total.
Spencer finished with 13 points to lead the Lakers, including 10 points in the second half. Tyler scored 11 points and Myers had nine. Callao-George and Randolph McLean scored 12 points apiece to pace Pershing County, and Seth Montes added eight points.
North Tahoe fell to 4-7 overall and 0-3 against members of the Division III. Pershing County improved to 13-3 overall and 6-1 against the D-III.
UP NEXT: The Lakers are scheduled to host Quincy on Tuesday at 8 p.m. and Truckee on Friday at 7:30.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's artifact collection represents a diverse group of artists – much like the genre of rock and roll itself. The exhibits chronicle rock and roll history from its earliest days right through the new millennium, and visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will find clothing, handwritten lyrics, personal effects and much more. Among the Museum's most treasured pieces are the instruments.
The Museum's collection of rare instruments used in recordings and live performances includes drums, microphones, even flutes and a dulcimer, and the instrument most often associated with rock and roll: the guitar. There are approximately 20 guitars on permanent exhibit in the Museum's atrium alone, and the instruments are rotated every six months. The guitars focus on Hall of Fame Inductees as well as non-inductee artists – both legendary and contemporary. Today, 10 new guitars that represent Inductees – including Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, Jimmy Cliff, Mike Mills of R.E.M., Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and 2012 inductee, Steve Fossen of Heart – and non-inductees Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello and Mike Dirnt of Green Day were placed on exhibit.
Mike Dirnt of Green Day's Kramer Custom Bass Guitar, c. 1974 (pictured left)
Dirnt played this bass at Green Day's triumphant appearance at the Woodstock ll Festival on August 14, 1994. Less than five years earlier, in 1989, singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and Dirnt, along with drummer Al Sobrante, released an independent EP under the name Green Day. Sobrante was replaced by Tré Cool soon after the release of the band's first album, 39 / Smooth. Dookie, Green Day's major-label debut, was released in 1994, and sold 10 million copies internationally. The album yielded the hits "Longview," "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around."

It's the centerpiece of Clemson's pregame pageantry, arguably college football's most spectacular entrance to fire up the home crowd.
Moments before every kickoff at Memorial Stadium, the Tigers line up behind the east end zone, rub Howard's Rock and race down a grassy slanted ramp known as The Hill as fireworks and balloons light up the Clemson sky. Veteran ABC Sports play-by-play announcer Brent Musberger blessed the ritual as "the most exciting 25 seconds in college football."
The Rock nearly found itself out in the wild. According to Clemson's archives, S.C. Jones (class of 1919) journeyed to Death Valley, Calif., and brought back a white flint rock, presenting it to then-head coach Frank Howard in the mid-1960s.
Years later, legend has it Howard decided he'd had enough of the rock on his office floor in Fike Fieldhouse. He told IPTAY executive secretary Gene Willimon "take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch … do something with it, but get it out of my office!"
So it was mounted on a pedestal, revealed on Sept. 24, 1966, before a game vs. Virginia, which Clemson won 40-35 after trailing by 18 points with 17 minutes to go.
The next season, Howard told his players before running down the hill to host Wake Forest, "If you're going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you're not, keep your filthy hands off it."
Today, a recording of Howard's challenge is played before each Clemson home game.

Andries Coetzee is an Associate Professor of Linguistics. His research interests cover formal phonological theory, phonetics, speech processing, and the interface between these research areas. In terms of phonological theory, he focuses on phonological variation, and on how current constraint-based models of phonological grammar (Optimality Theory and Harmonic Grammar) can be adapted to account for variable phenomena. A particular focus of this research is on how to combine grammatical and non-grammatical factors that contribute to variation into one integrated model. His phonetic research has focused on the acoustic description of Southern African languages (both Afrikaans and Bantu languages). He also collaborates with colleagues in the department on topics related to speech perception, with a focus on how phonological grammar impacts speech perception and processing.
Professor Coetzee regularly teaches phonology, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, as well as several of the department's introductory level undergraduate offerings. He has recently supervised graduate students Michael Marlo (now on the faculty at the University of Missouri), "The verbal tonology of Lumarachi and Lunyala-West: two dialects of Lulyia" (2007), and Miyeon Ahn, "The interplay of phonetics and phonology in cross-language speech perception: the case of English loans in Korean" (2011). He also advised the undergraduate honors theses by Ania Musial, "Overcoming the subset problem" (2009), and Katherine Barcy "Parlez-vous Anglais?: rhythmic transfer in French accented English" (2010) [Recipient of the Matt Alexander Award for Best Undergraduate Honors Thesis in the Department of Linguistics.]
Andries Coetzee has served on several committees in Linguistics, including the Executive Committee, the Admissions Committee, and the Graduate Committee. He is a member of the University of Michigan African Presidential Scholar Program (UMAPS) evaluation committee, a member of the NSF Graduate Fellowship Evaluation Panel, and co-director of the 2013 LSA Institute. He is also an editorial board member of Phonology.

When someone gives me grief about spending too much time on Facebook, I reference this week's headliner at Harveys Improv, Dat Phan.
Because of the thousands of "friends" Dat has amassed in these past few years, it didn't surprise me when he told me that well over half of his bookings comes directly through Facebook.
Let me say that again: just by signing on to Facebook there's the potential of six months worth of paid gigs literally just sitting there waiting for you to say, "Yes, I will do your venue," without even having to seek out the gig yourself! That is amazing.
But even without the social networking thing at his disposal, Dat is usually booked a year in advance. Things certainly have changed from when I first started out having to go through an agent or rely on an established headliner who liked me enough to take me on the road as his or her opening act.
Of course, someone's exposure through traditional media outlets never hurts, either. Dat would have been a phenom anyway but having NBC's "Last Comic Standing" as your springboard into national exposure certainly didn't hurt. "Last Comic Standing" gave Dat the platform to start from and he capitalized on that nicely. NBC likes to have first dibs on their own so it was just natural that Dat's next national television exposure came in the way of the "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." After that, things took off and all of this was even before Mark Zuckerberg started his thing.
None of this would have been possible had Dat not had a great act.
For awhile Dat was living out of his car taking whatever work he could get while perfecting his stand-up routine at night while answering the phones for Budd Friedman's Improv during the day in Hollywood. Just think, when other comics called in trying to get booked at the Improv for stage time they were probably getting Dat on the other end where he was trying to get the same thing for himself.
More than anything, Dat had a greater appreciation for this side of the business than ever before, and it taught him how important working behind the scenes was just as important as being the guy on stage.
In addition to his non-stop schedule working the road he's also found time to do more television and motion picture work.
Dat has become a role model for not just young comics starting out in the business but for Asians in all walks of life and because of that was rewarded by such prestigious organizations as the Smithsonian Institute when he was mentioned for their "Top 10 Most Influential Vietnamese-American Individuals."
Marc Price loves comedy, but probably skiing even more. He was booked back in part because we promised him it would be snowing. Well, part of that wish came true; let's hope it continues not just for "Skippy" but for all of us who live up here.
I say "Skippy" because that was Price's character on the long-running 1980s TV sitcom "Family Ties" (which also starred Michael J. Fox and Justine Bateman). To his credit, Marc is one of the few child stars who didn't go off the deep end, I think in part because he would never take himself too seriously.
As an actor, Marc continued appearing in front of the camera starring as a guest actor on "Archie Bunker's Place" and "One Day At A Time." He did numerous Disney programs and those movie-of-the-week shows before eventually working behind the camera as a writer, producer and even as a director.

The NCAA on Tuesday reversed course on one of the major sanctions against the Penn State football program when it announced the Nittany Lions will start getting back scholarships beginning next year and can return to full strength of 85 scholarships in 2016.
Instead of being limited to 15 scholarships next year, the Lions will be able to give five more for a limit of 20. That will increase back to the NCAA maximum of 25 starting in 2015.
The Lions were to have been limited to 65 total scholarships from 2014-17, but now the program can get back up to 85 in 2016.
From a competitive standpoint, the drastic scholarship reductions were expected to significantly hinder Penn State's ability to compete through the 2017 season. Having only 65 scholarships while everyone else was fielding teams with 85 was expected to put the Lions at a big disadvantage, something even coach Bill O'Brien has acknowledged.
The scholarship breakdown by year:
2014: Can offer 20, with a maximum of 75 on the team
2015: Can offer 25, with a maximum of 80 on the team
2016: Can offer 25, with a maximum of 85 on the team
Penn State's bowl ban is still in effect for this year and the next two, but that sanction also could be revisited, NCAA officials said Tuesday.
Former Sen. George Mitchell, who has been monitoring Penn State's progress in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, said he suggested to the NCAA that "the sanctions on Penn State should be modified."
"Penn State has made a serious, good-faith effort to embrace and adopt the changes needed to enhance its future," Mitchell said on a teleconference.
Mitchell later added, "I believe it appropriate to recognize and reward the positive response by President [Rodney] Erickson and the university."
Mitchell added that he has recommended to the NCAA that it reconsider the Lions' bowl ban at some point. Mitchell said it's "premature to speculate" if the $60 million fine or vacated wins from 1998-2011 could be overturned.
The decision to reduce the sanctions came from the NCAA's executive committee.
"The executive committee's decision is an important recognition of the university's progress," NCAA president Mark Emmert said.
The Mirror will have more on this story, including comments from coach Bill O'Brien, throughout the day.

'Tis the season to look forward to college bowl games, pro teams making a push for the playoffs and, of course, the inevitable Bill O'Brien to the NFL rumors.
As long as O'Brien remains at Penn State, and continues to do excellent work, these rumors will be a certainty at this time of year.
The latest involve the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans, both of which already have reached out to O'Brien about becoming their head coach, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
La Canfora is one of the best NFL insiders around, so there's a good chance those two teams and potentially others are interested in O'Brien.
The Washington Redskins also could be interested if, as widely expected, coach Mike Shanahan is ousted after the season.
As I've said all along, I think O'Brien is an NFL guy and will bolt for the league as soon as the right opportunity comes along.
The Nittany Nation then can wish him well for his outstanding work, which will include leaving the PSU program in much better shape than it was when he arrived in the early stages of the Sandusky scandal in January of 2012.
The key here is which opportunity O'Brien would view as the right one.
The Redskins? Absolutely. A storied franchise with a potential star quarterback in Robert Griffin III, with the only drawback being a meddlesome owner in Daniel Snyder.
The Texans? Yep. They've been a disaster this season at 2-12, but there are enough pieces in place to think that things could get turned around in a hurry.
The Vikings? Thanks, but no thanks. I don't know what O'Brien would see in that organization, and he'd be wise to be patient and wait for a better situation.
If he leaves for the NFL after this season, O'Brien's buyout would be about $6.7 million, based on this year's base salary ($1.9 million) times the 3 1/2 years he has left on the deal. If an NFL team wants him badly enough, it will pay that, plus the buyout could have some legal wiggle room for all we know.
Penn State will have a new president and new athletic director by the middle of next year after terms for both Rodney Erickson and Dave Joyner come to an end. O'Brien would have new bosses, which could be somewhat unsettling to him but I doubt would be the deciding factor in him leaving.
The deciding factor would be O'Brien wanting to prove himself at the highest level of his profession. Just like many of us would if given the opportunity.
He has a chance to stay at Penn State and coach a dynamic quarterback in Christian Hackenberg for up to three more seasons, and that has to be appealing to O'Brien.
Then again, the NCAA sanctions force O'Brien to work harder than 99 percent of the coaches in the country just to win seven games, and who would want to bang his head against that wall any longer than he has to?
We are in the early stages of the NFL coaching rumor mill, and as the season winds down, O'Brien's name probably will pop up more and more.
Get used to it. This year. Every year.

We really need Corridor "H". It's ridiculous that the fastest way to many parts of the state is to drive around the OUTSIDE of the state and then back into the interior. It makes for many wasted miles of driving and it hampers economic progress. While much is made of liability laws, tort reform, education, etc. as hampering growth, the simple fact is this: Businesses will not move to the interior parts of West Virginia if they can't get people and goods in and out of the region.
West Virginia really is on the short end of the stick when it comes to Federal Highway Funds, too. Our state has a proportion of state-to-federal highways than almost any other state, which means that we foot the bill for a higher percentage of our roads than many other states. It also means that Federal Gas Tax dollars we're paying are being spent disproportionately more in OTHER states.
So yes, it's a ridiculous situation that needs to be addressed.

So if a Major resides in a basement, you must be in the adjacent crawl space. Try submitting something positive for a change. I've been all over the state and nation as well except for Alaska. Our terrain and natural obstacles are costly to build upon. So based on that, we have never received our fair share. We are isolated in many areas. Like Burgresident said, it is ridiculous that you have travel outside to arrive inside this state. We can be in at least 5 other state capitals faster than our own. Squirm, I apologize for being abrasive. Just be more positive.

if an interstate highway was the key to economic growth, then why isn't the land between Hancock and Morgantown FULL of industry and growth ??? some areas of this country are still too remote and too cost prohibitive to expand or re-locate...the only thing the Corr. H did was making PERSONAL travel easier, which is also a two edged sword. the more people can get to you,easily,the higher & quicker the land values will rise..thats' not a good thing for those born there, as there income levels can't compete with the interlopers, so their kids/grandkids won't be able to afford land in their own home turf...you know,exactly what happened here!!

" It is critical to the counties in Hardy, Mineral, Hampshire and others. Finish it, period." The last editorial on "H" commented that the people who live there don't use this highway. It said that it was being built to export tourist, wood, and education.

I am a former Elkins resident, and a graduate of Elkins High School and Davis & Elkins College. Although I have lived in California for many years I still feel connected to your beautiful Mountain State.
If you are wise you won't allow the left wing radicals to turn it into the nightmare California has become. While illegal immigrants continue to flood in to take away jobs and grab welfare benefits, government over-regulation and high taxation has led many companies to relocate in states such as Texas, causing a high unemployment rate.
Don't let this happen to your state. Barack Obama and his environmental Nazis have declared war on the coal industry and this saddens me deeply since my late father, Ralph L. McDonald, former vice president of Mower Lumber Company, worked so hard to help build the coal industry in West Virginia in the 1970s and 1980s.
Unfortunately, the environmentalists have moved into extremism since then, threatening to destroy the coal and oil industries in America while wasting taxpayer money on failed solar energy companies.

Importance Insomnia is one of the most prevalent health concerns in the population and in clinical practice. Clinicians may be reluctant to address insomnia because of its many potential causes, unfamiliarity with behavioral treatments, and concerns about pharmacologic treatments.
Objective To review the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of insomnia in adults.
Evidence Review Systematic review to identify and summarize previously published quantitative reviews (meta-analyses) of behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for insomnia.
Findings Insomnia is a common clinical condition characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, accompanied by symptoms such as irritability or fatigue during wakefulness. The prevalence of insomnia disorder is approximately 10% to 20%, with approximately 50% having a chronic course. Insomnia is a risk factor for impaired function, development of other medical and mental disorders, and increased health care costs. The etiology and pathophysiology of insomnia involve genetic, environmental, behavioral, and physiological factors culminating in hyperarousal. The diagnosis of insomnia is established by a thorough history of sleep behaviors, medical and psychiatric problems, and medications, supplemented by a prospective record of sleep patterns (sleep diary). Quantitative literature reviews (meta-analyses) support the efficacy of behavioral, cognitive, and pharmacologic interventions for insomnia. Brief behavioral interventions and Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy both show promise for use in primary care settings. Among pharmacologic interventions, the most evidence exists for benzodiazepine receptor agonist drugs, although persistent concerns focus on their safety relative to modest efficacy. Behavioral treatments should be used whenever possible, and medications should be limited to the lowest necessary dose and shortest necessary duration.
Conclusions and Relevance Clinicians should recognize insomnia because of its effects on function and health. A thorough clinical history is often sufficient to identify factors that contribute to insomnia. Behavioral treatments should be used when possible. Hypnotic medications are also efficacious but must be carefully monitored for adverse effects.

|Petaluma man leads RP officers on wild, destructive chase
Suspect arrested, jailed for assault with deadly weapon, possession of stolen property
A man was jailed on Monday morning after leading Rohnert Park Dept. of Public Safety officers on a lengthy chase through main roads and surface streets that resulted in property damage to private residences and motel customers.
The suspect is 45-year-old Matthew Knope of Petaluma.
At approximately 8 a.m., the RPDPS dispatch center received a report that a truck and landscape trailer had been stolen from the Walmart parking lot in Rohnert Park. Within minutes, the dispatch center's phone lines began receiving multiple calls about a reckless driver in the parking lot of the Budget Inn on Redwood Drive. Officers quickly responded to the Budget Inn, but the vehicle was gone.
As officers searched the area for the truck and trailer, residents of D section in RP began flooding the dispatch center with calls of a white truck driving erratically and hitting several other vehicles as well as careening down a creek path.
Officers arrived to find a trail of debris, but there was no sign of the vehicle. An undercover police unit on Emily Avenue spotted the vehicle at around 8:30 a.m., and four police cars, including the undercover car, began the chase.
Knope allegedly was opening the door while the truck was moving, but he would not stop the vehicle. After what the public safety report described as several "laps" in E section, Knope headed toward San Rafael Court.
"I knew this was a dead end court, so I thought the chase was coming to an end," RPDPS Sgt. Aaron Johnson said.
But as the truck entered the court, authorities reported Knope drove up the driveway and started plowing through a front-yard fence. He continued through three backyards, all the while dragging evidence behind him.
"I drove my police motorcycle to the other court adjacent to where I saw him enter thinking I was going to pick him up on foot," Johnson said. "Much to my surprise, he came blasting through the wooden fence of another yard and dragged the recycle can down the street. He saw me on my police motorcycle and decided I was his target. He accelerated and started swerving at me until I was able to maneuver out of the way."
Kathy Nave-Verdu is one of the homeowners on San Rafael Court significantly impacted by the actions of Knope. She was in bed when she heard a loud ruckus in her backyard.
"It sounded like a big earthquake at the side of my house," said Nave-Verdu. "I looked out the door and saw this truck flying through the backyard with a trailer. It was going into the backyard of my neighbors and onto SF court. There are a lot of children in this area and he just bypassed jumpy the kids use. Thank goodness the child wasn't in it"
She is also very thankful nothing happened to one of her daughters, who lives next door.
The damage done to Nave-Verdu's home is extensive. Knope ran over the pool system in the home, including gas lines. She was forced to turn off the gas lines and had water from the pipes spraying all over. The pumps to her pool were damaged, and there is a hole in the outside wall caused by flying debris.
"It scared the (hell) out of me," Nave-Verdu said. "I didn't have a voice, I was shaking and couldn't stop. I wouldn't think this would happen in this neighborhood. People don't usually come into courts."
Knope then drove through the surface streets and ended up on Rohnert Park Expressway. He increased his speeds to 60-65 mph dragging debris from the neighborhood as well as the trailer. He ended up in the parking lot of the Budget Inn where he began doing laps at a high rate of speed. He hit two cars and eventually drove into the building where he jumped out and fled on foot. He was chased to a motel room where he was ultimately taken into custody without incident.
Based on information gathered at the scene, officers suspect Knope may have been under the influence of drugs.
Knope was booked for felony evading a police officer, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of stolen property (the white truck), and violation of probation.

Online Education
Are You Ready For Online Learning?
Online learning offers flexibility that you may not have in a traditional in-seat course. For many of us, that flexibility is what allows us to take classes. We set the schedule for when we will be "in class" attending to the course content, participating in discussion, and learning. Although there may be virtual "live" class meetings, for the most part, you will be directing your own time.
An online course is not a correspondence course, which are usually not designed to be self-paced, independent studies. In an online course, you will have course reading expectations, assignments with due dates, contact with your professor and your classmates, and maybe even group assignments. The course will have a directed pace, and everyone will be expected to follow the course calendar.
However, vital to success in an online course is your ability to be an independent learner. You will need to be self-directed and very organized so that you keep up and stay engaged. It is very easy to fall into the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality when you don't have a weekly "place" to show up and face your professor.
Please spend some time with the links below. You should then have an idea of what you might expect in an online course and can hopefully develop some strategies for how you will manage.

2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
With one month left until the deadline to sign players selected in last month's 2010 Rule 4 Draft, here are the draft picks and Non-Drafted Free-Agents (NDFA) who have been signed by the Cubs, and those who remain unsigned.
So far, the Cubs have signed 23 of their 50 draft picks, plus three NDFA. The Cubs typically sign about 30 of their 50 picks, so expect the Cubs to sign maybe another seven players before the deadline.
In some cases, the Cubs are scouting draft picks who are playing in summer collegiate "wood bat" leagues or with high school all-star squads to determine if the player is worth what the player is asking. In other cases, the Cubs may be waiting to sign a player to an "over-slot" bonus until closer to the deadline so as to not have too much of a negative impact on other clubs who are still negotiating with players selected in that same round.
Generally speaking, players selected on the 3rd day of the draft (round 31 and below) are either "fall-back" options in case players selected in higher rounds are not signed, or "long-shots" with low market value, or players who are thought to be virtually unsignable due to a solid college commitment.
NOTE: The 8/15 deadline does not apply to college seniors selected in last month's draft, but the Cubs have already signed all of the college seniors they drafted.

Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
"the Cubs are getting close to signing their No. 2 draft pick, Reggie Golden, an outfielder with power out of Wetumpka High School in Alabama."
From today's Bruce Miles Blog.
Brett Jackson
"Another interesting recent promotion is Cubs outfielder Brett Jackson, hitting .327/.435/.519 in 14 games since moving up to Double-A Tennessee two weeks ago. He'd hit .316/.420/.517 in 67 games for Daytona, so his production has remained virtually the same, obviously an excellent sign. Don't forget five steals in six attempts since moving up. Jackson's strike zone judgment (a weakness in college) has been sharp as a pro, with a 51/75 BB/K this year in 315 at-bats. The strikeout rate is maybe a bit higher than ideal, but with all the walks and his overall production, I'm not worried about it. Reviews of his athleticism, outfield range, and arm strength are all positive. Given Chicago's propensity to move prospects quickly, he could be in the Wrigley outfield less than a year from now. Possible comp: about midway between Jim Edmonds and the non-50-homer version of Brady Anderson."
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Phil or Anybody, any gossip on whether Reed, Geiger, Beeler, or Loosen got paid anything beyond the standard $100-150 type range?
I hope Simpson is OK. He's on the DL because he got sick, that can certainly happen. But isn't common for 21-year-old young men to be sick for a month.
Wilkin was excited to see him throwing hard twice in the JC tournament, IIRC both the Friday and then again on the following Monday in relief. It would seem typically Cub-like for him to come out of that with a sore arm. A lot more convenient to report him as DL because he's sick then to make this really surprising draft pick, and then have to report that he's on DL because he's got a bad elbow before he even gets started.
I'm not saying he's got a bad arm, I have no idea. It isn't probable. But it seems perhaps no less improbably than being sick for a month.
In any case, I'll be mighty happy if/when he shows up and looks healthy. Until he does, I'll wonder.

Piniella was quoted as saying "In light of our new direction in the second half, we decided to give the young man a chance."

Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Castro on the other hand. Wow!
Re: Marmol
I feel this is a good time to point out that Marmol has like literally over 16Ks per 9 right now, is prone to wildness on occasion, and we have won the first two of the series. This sucks, but let's not call for Marmol's head or anything just yet...
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
If not Marmol's head, how about Teflon Larry's? What does the pitching coach do with his time, if he's not teaching his closer how to throw a fastball in the strike zone? Is guiding Zambrano toward mediocrity a full-time job?
Marmol and Zambrano have similar mechanical problems and control problems. Another thing they have in common is LR as their only ML coach.
Or does LR still get credit for the performance of pitchers who learned their trade long before they crossed his path, guys like Lilly and Dempster and Silva?
Meanwhile, Koyie Hill makes himself useful by working with pitchers and stressing a pitching philosophy and in general doing the job of the pitching coach, who is MIA. Rothschild's philosophy, if you can call it that, is keep throwing the same pitch until they hit it.
But if you don't like Hill, Rob, I can think of four catchers at Iowa and Tennessee who would have made that play.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
"But if you don't like Hill, Rob, I can think of four catchers at Iowa and Tennessee who would have made that play."
Yep. And those same guys don't make that play sometimes, too.
So, what are Zambrano and Marmol's identical mechanical problems that can be fixed without taking something away from their stuff? Because I've been under the impression that Marmol's wildness is partly why he's so damn hard to hit.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
"And those same guys don't make that play sometimes, too."
The very next batter, the lead run comes in on a wild pitch, which was a waist-high fastball inside, not a slider in the dirt. I think a good catcher gets that one, too, although it was a tougher chance than the relatively easy play on the throw to the plate.
I don't know much, I'll admit, about the gloves of Robinson, Clevenger and Chirinos, although the latter two are converted middle infielders, which puts them a notch above Soto off the bat. Castillo's defense was described by Fleita last season as "off the charts."
A good catcher makes that play, pure and simple. He had plenty of time to field the ball. He just got nervous and missed it. There is a reason why, until very recently, Soto came out of games in late innings. Then the Cubs got desperate for runs, and Soto started hitting. But catching is a defensive position, first.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Good catchers miss that play once in a while too, get distracted, take their eyes off the ball as the runner comes in, try to get in front of the plate before they have the ball in the glove, don't get the ball square enough in that big mitt. I've seen Henry Blanco miss very similar catches several times on WGN. It happens. I'm not about to judge a guys defense on one inning, one day. Soto's not the best defensive catcher, but I'd rate him right around average. And he's got a well above average bat.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
"Good catchers miss that play once in a while too..."
Very, very seldom. A Molina? No. McCann? Nope. The second stringers? OK.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
If you don't like lazy defensive plays, you're not going to like Castillo.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
You don't know anything about catching.
A wild fastball is the most difficult ball to catch (well... maybe other than a knuckle ball). You expect off speed/breaking pitches to be wild, you don't expect fastballs to be thrown to a completely different spot than expected. And with Marmol, it is impossible to predict where a ball is going to go, which makes his hard fastballs even more difficult to catch.
The fact that you think that Koyie Hill is a better option than Soto is hilarious.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I don't know much, I'll admit, about the gloves of Robinson, Clevenger and Chirinos
But because they are in the minors, you will assume that they are awesome both offensively and defensively, even thought you refuse to look at the context (age, level, peripheral stats, etc).
Have you ever even seen a minor league game?
Now... for what its worth, Soto should have made that play. I think that we all agree. But Koyie Hill has made some pretty big mistakes this year too, and being that Soto is one of the best offensive catchers in baseball, to sit him for a terrible hitting catcher that isn't much better defensively is indefensible.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Catching is a defensive position, first. I would say it's about 75% defense. For the sake of comparison, shortstop would be about 65% defense, while pitching is 97% defense, even in the NL.
So imagine you had said --
"Zambrano is one of the best offensive pitchers in baseball, to sit him for a terrible hitting pitcher that isn't much better on the mound is indefensible."
That would be 97% ridiculous. What you said was only 75% ridiculous.
Here's another one. Joe Girardi was the Cub first-string catcher for one season, 1991. In '92, he shared the job with Rick Wilkins. By '93, Wilkins had slugged (30 HR) his way into the everyday lineup and Girardi was on his way out. Or, to put it another way,
"Wilkins was one of the best offensive catchers in baseball, to sit him for a terrible hitting catcher that wasn't much better defensively would have been indefensible."
Good teams know the right mix of defense/offense in a catcher. Girardi never hit double-digit HRs in his career, but he was a starter in '96 for the first Yankee team in 18 years to win the WS, and he contributed to three championship teams. Yadier Molina has never had double-digit HRs and he averages about six, but most people acknowledge that he's the second MVP on his team, a perennial winner.
I like Soto as a hitter, although I don't love him--his swing looks a bit loopy to me. Hamels was throwing mostly offspeed pitches yesterday but I noticed he threw three straight fastballs to Soto, as though he was the one Cub hitter who couldn't catch up to it. But Soto has done a nice job this year of laying off close pitches and earning lots of walks and, more importantly, hitter's counts. Soto is a smart hitter, a smart player, a good player. He should have significant trade value. There are a lot of teams around--not necessarily good teams--that will covet a power-hitting catcher like Soto.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
What were the computations that you used to come up with those percentages and apply them to pitcher, catcher and shortstop?
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
You can't just throw out a number - 75% - and think that that makes things clearer. How do you measure offense and defense to weigh this way?
How about catcher A who hits .150 but is really good defensively, maybe twice as good as catcher B who hits .330. Which one do you start?
The Yankees? Joe Girardi? He hit .294 in 1996, a career-high (even higher than his years in Colorado) and about 30 points above his career average. That's why he started. And he still only had 422 at-bats, as he split time with Jim Leyritz. Girardi had less than 400 at-bats in 1997 as he split time with Jorge Posada. Girardi then became the back-up to Posada in 1998 and 1999 before he became a free agent and the Yankees didn't resign him. Posada is a butcher at the plate. The Yankees are the worst example of a defensive-first attitude towards catcher.
From 1992-1995 they had Mike Stanley and Jim Leyritz as their catchers because they can both mash. They then had Girardi and Leyritz, Girardi and Posada, and then Posada and a bunch of back-ups for the next decade+.
You can take Girardi's .666 career OPS with superior defense and I will take Posada and his career .859 OPS any day of the week. All else equal, I bet I win more games.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Obviously I made up the numbers. It doesn't really matter if they're off by 10%. The point is that there are numbers that dictate when you play Catcher A even though he is not as good a hitter as Catcher B.
I'm more interested in the way people address problems than the exact formulas they use. There is a tendency on TCR to ask a particular question when deciding who ought to get playing time, and it strikes me as an odd question: who would I rather have on my fantasy team? Obviously, Soto would win a lot of those head-to-heads. But real baseball, where you have to field throws to the plate cleanly, is different.
I admire your wide-ranging knowledge of players and teams and enjoy eliciting these responses from you. I would just throw in that Girardi was involved, as catcher or manager, in four of the Yankees' last five championship seasons. It just struck me at the time, and still does--and did again in 2006 when the Cubs interviewed Girardi for manager--that he was good enough for the Yankees, but not the Cubs.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I think everyone here would agree with you that "there are numbers that dictate when you play Catcher A even though he is not as good a hitter as Catcher B." But I also think nearly everyone here would agree that the numbers (defensive and offensive) for Hill and Soto right now do not dictate playing Hill over Soto. The defensive upgrade would be marginal and offensive downgrade would be significant. For reference, Soto's career OPS is .828, Molina's is .684, and Hill's is .581. Hill would basically be the worst offensive starter - by a sizable margin - at any position in major league baseball if he played regularly.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I don't think I've ever actually said that Hill should replace Soto as a starter. Remember a month-or-so ago when Lou said that Soto "has to hit" if he wants to play? I pretty much agree with that. Hill doesn't have to hit, but Soto does, in order to play.
Soto has been hitting, so fine, up to a point. But I keep coming back to the fact that catching is not like playing first or left. It's too important a position to judge a guy by his OPS. You could play a Ryan Doumit behind the plate to generate a few offensive sparks, if you're a last-place team and you're trying to get people in the stadium, win or lose.
I'm really more interested in Castillo and Chirinos than Hill, and I think of Hill as a backup and a mentor to the catcher who would replace Soto if and when the Cubs to decide to upgrade the position defensively.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
if and when the Cubs to decide to upgrade the position defensively.
Let me correct that statement a little bit:
"if and when the Cubs to decide to upgrade the position defensively [and downgrade the position offensively]."
You keep using Girardi and the Yankees as an example. Do you think that Posada is great defensively? Or even significantly better than Soto?
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I'd just like to add to this that there are no guarantees that Castillo will ever be an upgrade to Soto. He has the physical tools, but the reports from AZ and others have consistently been that he's very raw defensively.
Chirinos, who knows? And who knows whether he can hit a lick above AA ball? (I do think it's time for the Cubs to at least get him to AAA or something though. He's old.)
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Catching is a defensive position, first. I would say it's about 75% defense.
Says who? You? The same guy who seriously believes that catchers make a pitcher throw harder?
You are the only person connected with baseball who would rather start Koyie Hill over Geovany Soto at catcher. And please tell me you are not comparing Yadier Molina's defensive abilities to Koyie Hill. Or any catcher in the Cubs system, or baseball, for that matter.
You have zero credibility on this. You admit that you know nothing about the defensive abilities of the Cubs catchers in the minors, yet you still claim that they are good defensively.
There are at probably at least 20 teams in baseball who would take Soto as their starting catcher.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Ok. I missed the game yesterday, so I had to catch the wild pitch on mlb.com. SOto was shifting outside....Marmol threw the fastball well inside and low....this is not an easy play. Does a Gold Glove catcher make that play? Probably. But sheesh...this wasn't like the ball glanced off his glove high and wild...it was a wild pitch. Not an easy play to make, for any catcher.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
you would have said the same thing about Soto if he was in Iowa right now.
while Marmol isn't Mariano Rivera, I'm not sure there's a lot of teams that would take him.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
"while Marmol isn't Mariano Rivera, I'm not sure there's a lot of teams that would take him."
You mean, "I'm sure there's a lot of teams that would take him."?
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
Teflon Larry is probably busy teaching the worst pitcher in baseball last year how to get a 3 ERA this season.
And before that, he was busy teaching guys like Jason Marquis and Glendon Rusch to not completely suck.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
That's fair enough. But you have to add Zambrano to his list of failures including Wuertz, Ohman and Hill. I'm not sure which direction Marmol is going, although his control, like Zambrano's, seems to be deteriorating.
The one younger pitcher who seems to be holding his own under LR is Marshall, and so far Wells.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
What was failing about Wuertz's 3.57 ERA in 5 seasons as a Cub?
Zambrano's walks per nine remains virtually unchanged throughout his career.
Hill owes his failure to himself.
LR has been her since 2002 and you can find only two "young" guys who have had success under him? In 8 years you think Marshall and Wells are the only two young pitchers who have done well? Look a bit harder. Hell, Zambrano was a 21-year old when Rothchild showed up and has went 91-51 from 2003-2008.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I'm all for making Hill a pitching coach.
Re: 2010 Rule 4 Draft Update
I'm fine with him being a backup catcher who starts day games after Soto starts night games.
Or he could be the bench coach.

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.

UNIVERSITY PARK - It was a split decision in the Alton twins' return to the Penn State wrestling lineup on Sunday afternoon against Nebraska.
The Altons, Andrew and Dylan, had been serving a 30-day suspension for a pre-Christmas fight in Lock Haven, but after narrowly defeating their backups, 149-pounder James English and 157-pounder James Vollrath, in eliminations, they were back for a whiteout before 6,618 fans in Rec Hall.
Third-ranked 149-pounder Andrew Alton faded after a fast start and was pinned by 12th-ranked Jake Sueflohn in 5:33, but sixth-ranked 157-pounder Dylan Alton scored a late takedown of fourth-ranked James Green to win, 3-1, and help the top-ranked Nittany Lions, wearing white singlets, beat the 12th-ranked Cornhuskers, 33-9.
"Obviously, Andrew wasn't himself," Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said. "Why that is, we'll figure that out. A lot of it is a mental game, obviously. I think he needs some time to get back to where he wants to be, and he can do that in a snap of the fingers or it can take a few matches. He's in good shape. He trains hard. When he's enjoying himself, he's so smooth and talented that he can score from any position. But you could see in his face he wasn't all there today.
"Dylan knew he had a big match, and he did a great job. His conditioning was something that he wanted to use to his advantage, I think, in those tight matches. James Green is a very good wrestler. They've wrestled three times, and all three matches have been very similar."
Andrew Alton scored a first-period takedown and tilted Sueflohn for two points and a 4-0 lead. He was leading 5-1 in the second when Sueflohn took him down, and a little later he received a stalling point to make it 5-4. Alton appeared dead tired after two periods, and in the third, Sueflohn reversed, put Alton on his back and pinned him.
His brother looked a lot more fresh, especially when he threw Green to his back in the first period. The referee waved off the takedown and back points, and a furious Sanderson protested and called for a video review. For the second time this season, Sanderson lost on a video review.
"It's a close call," Sanderson said, "and it's our right to have them review it. You've got to fight for what you believe in."
The score was tied, 1-1, in the third period, when Alton took Green down with 13 seconds left and kept him down the rest of the way. Alton raised his hands and pumped his fist in celebration to the roaring crowd. Alton was later voted the winner of the Ridge Riley Award.
"He shot, and I reshot," Alton said. "I got my angle that I wanted, and I just did a go-behind. I've just been training the last month, always moving forward and working toward my goal of being a national champion."
It wasn't the first time the crowd roared its approval. After second-ranked Nico Megaludis won by forfeit at 125, Jordan Conaway again thrilled the home crowd with his third-period wrestling against Shawn Nagel at 133. Conaway took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but a reversal, three takedowns, two back points and a riding point later, he earned a 14-5 major decision.
"He started opening up a little and taking shots, and I was able to score off of his shots," Conaway said. "He was fading, but I think he was trying to get a quick score. [The crowd reaction] is awesome. They like how I wrestle, and it helps me to keep wrestling that way."
Bryan Pearsall made a third-period escape and riding point stand in a 2-0 win over Ridge Kiley at 141, setting up the Altons.
After the break, second-ranked David Taylor rolled up a 16-1 technical fall over Tyler Koehn at 165 to set up a bout between PSU's third-ranked Matt Brown and Nebraska's fourth-ranked Robert Kokesh at 174. Kokesh won, 10-7, but Brown needed about 5 more seconds on the clock as he put the Cornhusker on his back just before the buzzer.
At 184, PSU's top-ranked Ed Ruth couldn't hit his deadly cradle on eighth-ranked Josh Ihmen, but he was able to title Ihmen three times in the third period to finish off an 18-3 technical fall. All three tilts were rare, as they started with both wrestlers standing and Ruth in control.
"I guess he was kind of schooled in [defending the cradle], but good thing he wasn't schooled in the tilt," Ruth said, drawing laughs from reporters.
"He's very good at that," Sanderson said. "He's got such a great grip that he can do that. That's certainly not something we work on in practice. That's just Ruth."
PSU 197-pounder Quentin Wright scored five points in the third period against Caleb Kolb, a 2009 PIAA Class AA state champion for Grove City, including a takedown with 21 seconds left and riding time to earn a 10-2 major decision.
Jon Gingrich finally wrestled somebody smaller than him in Spencer Johnson at 285, but the score was tied, 3-3, after two periods. But, an escape and takedown in the third broke it open for Gingrich in his 7-4 win.
The Lions (8-0 overall, 5-0 in the Big Ten) will be back in action Friday in a big match against fourth-ranked Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes are 15-1 overall and 5-0 in the Big Ten and are coming off of a 16-15 win over third-ranked Minnesota on Saturday. The match will be carried live by the Big Ten Network at 9 p.m.
"I'm excited about it," Sanderson said. "We're fortunate to have that atmosphere here. I love Carver-Hawkeye. The last year I was at Iowa State, they had 16,000 fans there, and it was the record, but it wasn't the noisiest time because we wrestled pretty good. I'm excited for these guys because it's a challenge. We need to be challenged. These guys thrive on that."
