what in the hell are you seeing then?
tell me what cedeno is doing that neifi dont?
is it the constant hacking and contact? is it the defense? is it the low K/low BB?
if you dont think theyre similar i'd like to know what player you think he's familiar to.
go ahead...
you wanna define a guy by an at bat or what's known about him.
player 1 - contact hitter, low K/low BB, not known for power, good D
player 2 - contact hitter, low K/low BB, not known for power, good D
you think he's alex gonzalez? you think he's garciappara? you think he's arod? you think he's a 220lb. hulk? you think he's gonna park some 400ft'rs?
who is cedeno? if my point isnt valid...
you think cedeno looking at 1-2 extra pitches per at bat makes him a non-neifi hitter? you just waiting on those 400ft shots? what exactly are you seeing here?

nomar's not doing much to drag himself outta town being a team player and then some (when his crotch isnt falling off and rolling down the baselines).
a lot might have to do with how much nomar will come back for guarenteed vs. incentive money.
should be a hell of an offseason.

Cedeno: Perez:
Age 22 Age 32
obp: 286 obp:300
slg: 333 slg 393
The thing that Cedeno has working for him is his age and the fact that the Cub coaches say he has turned the corner, he has matured. He has proven himself at AAA, AA and the AFL. Can he do it? The problem is we don't know. Let's find out before next year. Today he is impressive, but let's see him for a month and see. Heck Neifi did a great job but there is no upside. Ronny is a "potential" upside. Let's see. Everyday.

asked a friend about berg...low 90s fastball, sinker/slider, similar build/makeup to prior (but not anywhere near the tallent)
basically a big kid with a big fastball working on a 3rd pitch and learning to control the 2 he has under his belt.
he got his info 2nd hand, too...maybe we'll see him one day, but doubtful he'll make any cubs top-10/20 prospect lists any time soon without a good showing next year somewhere above A-ball.
From what I read about Berg
From what I read about Berg it sounds to me like any MLB future he has is a Middle relief ROOGY type. The name Ben Weber comes to mind reading his scouting report. He is suppose to start tuesday for Peoria. Its a DH with Guzman starting the other game.
Peoria doesn't play a DH
Peoria doesn't play a DH this week, but according to the Chief's website Guzman will start Tuesday's game, with Weber scheduled to be the first reliever of the game.
I just might have to make myself a little trip to Beloit for that one.

Len said they did during the game today. The next month should be interesting with Hendry coming out and saying he would like to see Cedeno and Murton get alot of PT in sept. and Baker saying that neccsarly wont happen. How many times has Hendry said he would like to see something happen and Baker does the oppisite.
Andy: "A Cedeno and Hairston
"A Cedeno and Hairston middle infield doesn't look too bad for next year."
Yeah, not too bad if we want to be 20 games under .500. If we have them as our starting middle IF's we better have Damon and Giles in OF and Wagner is the pen.
As a lot of you here at TCDR
As a lot of you here at TCDR know, nobody here is a bigger Ronny Cedeno booster than ol' Arizona Phil, but I doubt he will be the Cubs shortstop next season or the year after. And it isn't because he won't be a solid every day MLB shortstop. Rather, I think it increasingly likely that the Pirates will be the Cubs off-season trading pardner vis-a-via Corey Patterson (the Pirates are building their club around pitching & defense, and an outfield of Duffy-Patterson-Bay would fit that). The Pirates are just the small market club where Patterson could "recover his lost game" (PIRATES: Forget everything the Cubs told you, just play...). With minimal fan interest and little media scrutiny, Pittsburgh would be an ideal place for C-Pat to play. And we all know that JIm Hendry LOVES to make deals with Pirates GM Dave Littlefield. They're buddies.
In return for C-Pat, I would expect the Cubs to acquire Jack Wilson (who--like C-Pat--has had an "off" year, and who will be making $4.6 mil plus incentives in 2006), and who (also like Patterson) will be a free-agent after 2007. As part of the deal, I would expect the Cubs to send back a younger shortstop to replace Jack Wilson as the Pirates every day SS, and that would be Ronny Cedeno. In fact, something like C. Patterson-R. Cedeno-R. Hill (or Mitre) for J. Wilson-O. Perez-Mackowiak would seem to fit.
Perez is eligible for arbitration for the first time after this season, and has been a behaviour problem for the Pirates all year (came to Spring Training out of shape, broke his toe kicking a laudry basket, 6+ ERA before that). Mackowiak (FA after 2007) would fit Dusty's desire for a general handy-man on a bench shortened by a 12-man pitching staff (Mac can play LF-CF-RF-3B-2B-1B), replacing Macias as the "super-sub" and Holly as the team's #1 lefty PH.
From the Pirates POV, Cedeno and Hill would replace Jack Wilson and Oliver Perez, and do it more cheaply. With Zach Duke having emerged as a present & future ace, and with the problems the Bucs have had with Oliver Perez, not to mention Perez being eligible for arbitration, I believe the Pirates will trade Perez this coming off-season, if not to the Cubs then to semebody. And the Cubs have eady-made replacements for both Wilson (that being Cedeno) and Perez (that being Hill or Mitre). And Patterson has GOT to be a temptation for a club like the Pirates, thinking they could be the one to tap Corey's huge potential and reap big divadends (by trading him before he becomes a FA, of course!).
Or, I could be wrong. I usually am. We'll see...

That is an interesting scenerio you laid out. I know Wilson is a huge fan fav in Pit so I doubt he would get traded, but working off your theory this might be a good trade.

I think the "off-year" for
I think the "off-year" for Jack Wilson was last year, not this year:
2001: .223/.255/.295
2002: .252/.306/.332
2003: .256/.303/.353
2004: .308/.335/.459
2005: .237/.281/.346
Granted PNC is pretty tough on the righties but Jack Wilson is going to make us remember Alex Gonzalez and not in any good ways. He does have a heckuva glove though.
The trade above though would probably just be worth it for Oliver Perez.
From Ken Rosenthal: After
From Ken Rosenthal:
After trading outfielder Matt Lawton to the Yankees, the Cubs remain open to offers for second baseman Todd Walker and outfielder Todd Hollandsworth, according to a rival general manager. Outfielder Jeromy Burnitz would be more difficult to move as he can exercise a $7 million option on his contract.
My prediction and/or hope is that Walker and Holly end up with the Mets for Royce Ring. The Mets could use Walker to fill in at 2nd. After that Cameron injury they could use a 4th outfielder better than Gerald Williams. Ring would not make that bad of a 2nd LOOGY to go along with Ohman for next year. Ring is at AAA Norfolk so I don't think he has to go threw waivers.
Problem is I don't think
Problem is I don't think Burnitz made it through waivers....
The report was that only Lawton, Holly and Walker did
good bears day today. Orton
good bears day today. Orton is named the starter and Benson signs. Orton will struggle, but the bears QB sitution is like the NFL version of Cedeno v. Perez. You had 2 guys who aren't the greatest but one has youth and the possiblity of getting better and Hutchinson just sucks and is not going to get better. He was demoted all the way to 4th string ouch! Kittner is not going anywhere because he is Ron Turner's version of Macias, but atleast he can play better than the gremlin can. So hutch is probably getting cut on FRI when the 1st roster cuts have to be done.
I should clarify.... The
I should clarify....
The problem is that Ken Rosenthal is a complete dumb-ass. Other then the fact that I don't believe Burnitz cleared waivers, his option next year is a mutual option(Cot's Contracts has it as a team option) with a reasonable $500,000 buyout.
doubt walker will go
doubt walker will go anywhere unless someone blows the cubs away...he's just so cheap next year...if the cubs really wanted rid of him, they could wait til the very limited 2nd base market dies and pretty much name a non-robbery price...if it even takes that long.
i'd be pretty upset to see him go even with the possibility of a garciappara/t.walker middle infield stinking up things occasionally.
Yeah, That thing W/ Burny
Yeah, That thing W/ Burny had me dumbfounded too. Maybe there's a contract clause that if he gets traded it becomes a player option? With the way Ellis has been hitting in Oakland that leaves the Mets as his only suitors. Rob is Walker any better than what the Angels run at DH every night that they would want to trade for him? The thing with Walker even though I would rather see Hairston or a return of Grudz in 06 at second I hope Hendry doesn't give him away for a Justin Berg or Olivio Astachio. Rem was DFA'd today by the Red Sox.
Depends on what mood
Depends on what mood Scioscias is in, I guess. It's been a lot of Casey Kotchman lately with Bengie Molina getting AB's when he's not catching and the occassional one by Garrett when something is ailing him. Whether any of that is better then Walker, I don't know. I don't see the Angels being all that interested and Bill Stoneman just doesn't like making moves during the season.
He certainly wouldn't give up much, that's for sure. The Angels love their farm system (and rightfully so, probably best in the majors right now) and unlike our fair Cubbies, have no problem making room for the kids to play.
Speaking of prospects in the angels system, here's a guy that you need to know about...
SS Brandon Wood
20 years old
just hit: .322/.385/.674 with 41 HR's/50 2B/47 BB/122 K
and his glove seems to be at least average. Needs to cutdown on the K's a bit and sure it's A ball, but good lord. He'll be playing in the AFL this year.

one of the MLP we have to put on the 40 man at the end of the year or there in the rule V draft (Brownlie, Marmol, Nolasco, Ryu)
So the Pirates would trade Oliver Perez, just a season removed from a sub 3.00 ERA and a plethora of Ks for a guy who strikes out nearly as much as Perez strikes out other batters and Mitre?
2.5m for todd walker is just
2.5m for todd walker is just too good to give away for anything, even prospects, imo.
hell, hairston was worth 1.9m this year...cubs got a nice gift with todd walker who could have gotten more money from texas this past offseason to sign a contract with the cubs (and then bitch about for a little while after he realized what him and his agent just did).
oddly, i dunno if anyone else has noticed, but you cant have a cubs article with player quotes this year without walker all over it.
he seems to either be a media-savy loudmouth or a spokesman of sorts for the players...i wouldnt read too much into how he got this role besides he's an approachable guy, but he's always got something to say.
In the Hendry set of the
In the Hendry set of the Hendry/McPhail (rhymes with fail) interviews that sent me over the edge last week, Hendry very pointedly did not mention Walker in his future plans, so hence I expect him to be dealt. I supsect Hendry, from what I have read in the press and the web, has a hard on for Soriano who comes out as FA this season. He is the typicaly toolsy player with poor fundamentals and poor defense that the Cubs expect they will "fix." Then management will wonder at the end of another season about the team's mysterious inability to score runs, their low .OBP, and the commission of a slew of unprofessional mistakes. Hence Walker may be dealt over the next 3 days as he is probably the most valuable commodity the Hendry can leverage to a contender.
If you have paid for the ESPN insider content check out Gary Gillette's column where he goes into detail all the mental mistakes the Cubs made in Mark Prior start against Atlanta where they lost 3-1 last week. Although Atlanta made its share of mistakes, the Cubs's outmistaked them, reearning the nicknamed "the Flubs." (That's Gillette, not me.)
As an alternative to the Soriano disaster, if I was GM'ing the Cubs, and in love with Patterson's "potential" as a certain GM is, and if it was certain Dusty would be coming back for at least one more season, I would try to win it in 2006 and let the following seasons take care of themselves. This is not because I prefer veterans over rookies/young players, but a realization that my particular big shot manager hates giving ABs to players with less than 4 years in the big leagues.
Therefore I would see if I could pry Jeff Kent away from the Dodgers given the toxic situation that has developed in LA and that Milton Bradly, the other half of explosion, is probably untradeable. At least according baseballprosectus.com, Kent would be an improvement over Walker defensively, and he is still a good offensive player and he is one of Dusty's pals. I would also see if I could pick up Kenny Lofton from Philadelphia (I am not sure if Lofton is on a one year contract or not). He would be an insurance lead-off man if the next two parts of the plan do not come about. That plan would be go go after Furcal for SS and Brian Giles hard as free agents. Hopefully, more thought and money would be spend on picking up some decent bench players rather then the dreck we have had the last 3 seasons. Also, if the money is left over, another starter, perhaps Kevin Millwood, would have to be obtained (I believe that A.J. Burnett and/or Jason Schmidt are Boston/New York bound). The line-up would be (again this is not my ideal, but accepting the biases of Dusty and Hendry):
Furcal SS
Lofton CF
Lee 1b
Giles RF
Ramirez 3b
Kent 2b
Barrett C
Patterson CF
N. Perez
J. Macias
Yes, I know there is gagging already all over the TCR at see Macias back. But both Dusty and Hendry seem to love Macias's versatility. Also, I suspect that Cedeno or Murton will be used as trade bait, as the earlier post discussed on trading with Pittsburgh.
Again, the above is not what I would do, but what I think might happen if Hendry and Dusty come back and the Cubs are really given a 100 million dollar payroll budget. At least it would be line-up we could hope on (although age and health issues could make it problematic).
Another likely scenario is the Cubs make some half-hearted jabs a the top free agents, sign a couple of cripples or journeymen to incentive deals (see Burnitz and Garcippara last season), and improve the cash flow bottom line by with a payroll of around 65 million dollars, and say they will win with "pitching and defense." I have bridges in Brooklyn that are also for sale.
I meant Lofton in LF.

For the reasons that the Bucks would trade Perez go read AZ Phil's post 26.
Yes Hendry has a hard-on for Soriano but he wants him in the OF. His arm and speed would make him a good RF where I think he would play if the Cubs did get him. Soriano is the Piazza of 2b. Yes he sucks on D but he'll hit 40 HR and have 100+ RBI and would be an upgrade if he was at 2b over walker. The word this morning is that CLE is making a run at him. Maybe we could get Dubois back ha ha.
CF in G - That bench is an
CF in G - That bench is an impossibility even for this regime. No speed, no power, and not a one of them that can spell Lee @ 1B. We can all assume that the '06 bench will have only 5 components (not 6), since the 12 man pitching staff is mandatory at Clark & Addison.
Please get over the
Please get over the infatuation of Kenny Lofton. The man is 38 years old has no power, no ability to drive in runs and his speed is quickly fading. The end is near on him.
Basically Lofton is Scott Podesnik except without the ability to steal tons of bases. Lofton works out well in high powered offenses but will be expected to carry a much greater offensive load if he came to Chicago, and he will fail miserably at it.
However Lofton does fit into Chicago's plans of getting older and more veteran dominated. Because adding more veterans since 2003 has really helped us win more.
Hmm...I'm detecting
Hmm...I'm detecting sarcasm...
Meanwhile Cedeno has the
Meanwhile Cedeno has the right attitude...
"If I play regularly, I feel more comfortable," Cedeno said. "I play one day here, then two days off. I've got to be ready for next year, and I've got to play every day here. I have to show Dusty I can play every day next year."
Cedeno is clearly lobbying hard for a job next year. He knows the time is now to show he has the ability to play everyday, but he isnt too thrilled about the one day on 2-3 days off approach. He cant show his skills if he doesnt play. He knows that, we Cubs fans know that. Baker could care less.
Dusty doesn't like this kind of dissention in his ranks. So it will be intersting to see what he does with Cedeno. Bench him or play him regularly. Usually when players speak out about playing time their next destination is another team.
All we have ever asked is give shots to prospects where the Cubs have no talent in the majors due to lousy players or injuries, Like LF and SS. Some players work out, some players dont. You keep working in guys till one clicks. What you dont do is keep plugging in the lousy veterans. Because that route never leads to anything good.
Other TCR posters may not agree. That is your opinion on that side of the arguement, this is my belief on this side of the arguement. You accomplish nothing playing the lousy veterans, your teams never get better by doing it. And since 2003 the Cubs have not gotten any better by doing it.
Hear, hear, MikeC! Of
Hear, hear, MikeC! Of course, tonight's starter for the Dodgers is a righty, so I assume we'll see Neifi at short. After all, the kids can only produce when they're given the right matchups. Right?

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.

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.

Lives are more important than 2nd Amendment
April 24, 2013
It really is disheartening to read about what is going on in congress these days....
"The 2nd Amendment is important, but it is not sacred. Lives are more important than the second amendment." How many lives were lost in countries where there were no 2nd Ammendment ? How many countless millions have been slaughtered because the guns were removed? Life precious? obviously not to everyone, as recently demonstrated in Boston,et.al. Sorry, your statement:"Congress will not make any inroads toward solving the problem, they will give the NRA more guns". no, the American people get the guns..not every gun owner is NRA. This is about American rights, nothing else.

I would suggest Odbert Courtney move to Chicago, New York or Baltimore where restrictive gun laws have been enacted. I'm sure Odbert would feel much safer there.

Odbert says: "...there will be a token background check law, but with enough loopholes to make it useless."
Question: In what % of violent crimes are guns that were bought through those "loopholes" used? If the answer is "less than 5%" then you need to ask why Congress and the Undocumented Worker in Chief are making that trivial loophole a priority, instead of focusing like a laser on the REAL cause of violent crime.

Nate, what NRA report are you citing with the 5% stat? The most recent study, which wasn't conducted or disputed by the NRA, is 10 years old and shows that only 40% of gun sales are subjected to background checks. When gun crimes are committed and no weapon is ever tied to the crime, how do they classify it?
These arguments don't make any sense to me, when there are far better. Gun ownership is a right not to be infringed upon without due process; background checks do not infringe upon that right, they simply verify that due process has not dictated that you cannot own a gun. Why not argue against the useless bans that are still being floated around until they are dead in the water?

"In what % of violent crimes are guns that were bought through those "loopholes" used?" We are not allowed to find the answer to this question. Back ground checks are required to be destroyed within 24 hours. NRA lobbied for and won restrictions on research by the CDC into firearm safety.

B&R said:"What NRA report are you citing with the 5% stat?" It was a hypothetical, mainly--asking IF only a small % of violent crimes were done with guns that were bought thru the loopholes, then plugging those loopholes is a waste of time & Congress/Obama should focus on the larger problems, such as psychos & terrorists who murder using weapons that WEREN'T bought thru the loopholes. THAT would be "common sense legislation." "... only 40% of gun sales are subjected to background checks" cannot be accurate today. Pretty sure it's over 90% now. "When gun crimes are committed and no weapon is ever tied to the crime, how do they classify it?" I guess they can't tell whether the gun used was bought at Dick's or stolen from a home or bought thru a newspaper ad.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Nate, I agree that the 40% is probably not accurate any longer, but we don't have any newer studies to go on.
How do you suggest we address the illegally sold weapons with no required registration from the manufacturer forward? Those guns are out there, even if we started registration today, that fact wouldn't change. I don't see the background checks as an infringement or even a problem, but I also agree that criminals don't usually go through the legal channels.
Also have a big issue when weapons that would be legal in the right hands are destroyed, they could be resold and the proceeds could go toward enforcement activities. We don't destroy cars/boats/houses that are seized, why do that for guns?

I'm sure those in NY and DC will state how safe they are, being as they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Find out how many crimes have been committed with guns in these states. Criminals won't go through background checks. They are going to commit a crime, why do they care about getting it the legal way? Instead of infringing on MY rights by trying to make it hard for law abiding citizens to get guns, why doesn't the government actually ENFORCE THOSE ALREADY IN PLACE. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens means they are easily in the hands of criminals.

No, the founders said it was a living document. Although the SCOTUS can reexamine the issue, they rarely (if ever) consider any case that applies to their own previous ruling. Put a little sugar on your sour grapes and eat them with a side of crow.

Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook shares a recipe! Two for one! Two classic dessert tastes, luscious brownies and brown sugared oats, layered into one rich, delicious treat.
Check your recipe when cooking with oats, and use the specific oat recommended. In some recipes, either type of oat can be used.
Quick-cooking and old-fashioned rolled oats are interchangeable unless a recipe calls for a specific type. Instant oatmeal products, on the other hand, are not the same and should not be used for baking.
Keep brownies wrapped tightly with plastic wrap. For longer storage, wrap tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
Give brownies a new slant. Cut into diamond shapes by first cutting straight parallel lines 1 inch apart down the length of the pan, then cutting diagonal lines 1 inch apart across the straight cuts.

Two former Oklahoma lawmakers facing felony bribery charges are due in an Oklahoma County courtroom to be formally bound over for trial.
Former Rep. Randy Terrill of Moore and former Sen. Debbe Leftwich of Oklahoma City are to appear before Special Judge Stephen Alcorn on Friday. Alcorn ruled in November 2011 that there is sufficient evidence to try the two for bribery.
The two will be in court two days after a state appeals court upheld Alcorn's decision to dismiss conspiracy charges against the former lawmakers.
Prosecutors allege Terrill and Leftwich schemed to set Leftwich up in a state job so a colleague of Terrill's could run for her open seat in 2010.
Terrill and Leftwich deny the allegations. Bribery is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Bettmeralp is located on a sun terrace high above the Rhone Valley with a view of the four-thousand-metre-high peaks of the Valais including the Weisshorn, Dom and Matterhorn. The resort has been awarded the "Families Welcome" quality certificate and offers a children's article hire service as well as a children's activity programme. Even the hiking trails have been designed with small children in mind: pushchair-friendly hiking trails are part of what's on offer.
Summer holidays in the area of the Unesco World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch are breaks in unspoilt countryside. The holiday resorts of Belalp, Riederalp, Bettmeralp and Fiescheralp are located in this attractive hiking area characterised by the Aletsch Glacier, the biggest glacier in Europe. The nearby vantage points Bettmerhorn (2643m) and Eggishorn (2926m) offer impressive views of the 23-kilometre-long glacier.
Young and young-at-heart visitors have the opportunity to indulge in sport and excitement on scooter trails and downhill bike courses. Romantic Lake Bettmer is perfect for fishing and making a splash in summer. In bad weather the indoor swimming pool with a slide provides an ideal alternative.
The ski region at the foot of the Bettmerhorn is part of the Aletsch ski arena which extends from Riederalp via Bettmeralp all the way to Fiescheralp. The 35 lift facilities provide access to pistes for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. A snow sports school is there to teach adults and children all the right moves. Several smaller lifts in the village area make the resort particularly suitable for children. In Bettmeralp skiers enjoy the benefit of being able to ski right to their doorstep.
A good selection of well-groomed winter walking trails is available for winter hikers. The trail for the one-hour-walk to Riederalp is lit at night. For cross-country skiers there is a small circular course by Lake Bettmer as well as the extensive cross-country skiing paradise in the nearby Goms.

After 30 witnesses and four weeks of testimony about coke oven gas, benzene and toxic sludge, the biggest environmental trial in years in the Buffalo area is about to go to the jury.
A federal panel of 12 men and women will decide if Tonawanda Coke is guilty of 18 criminal charges of polluting the environment and a separate charge of trying to hide what it did from government inspectors.
In a Buffalo courtroom, lawyers on both sides spent Tuesday trying to sway the jury.
"To comply or deceive? That's the question," Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango told the jury.
Mango said Tonawanda Coke executives repeatedly faced that question over the years, only to choose company profits over public health and safety time and time again.
Tonawanda Coke's lawyers countered with the argument that the Town of Tonawanda company passed government inspection after inspection, year after year. They cited Tonawanda Coke's 30-plus years of compliance with environmental regulations and suggested that changed when state and federal regulators stacked the deck against the company as part of a weeklong inspection in April 2009.
"The only thing that changed was a new sheriff came to town," said Gregory F. Linsin, one of Tonawanda Coke's defense lawyers.
The case against Tonawanda Coke and Mark L. Kamholz, the company's environmental controls manager, is a criminal prosecution based on allegations that they violated two federal laws – the Clean Air Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the federal law covering the handling of hazardous waste.
At the heart of the prosecution's case is the allegation that Tonawanda Coke repeatedly spewed coke oven gas with benzene through a pressure-relief valve into the air.
Throughout the trial, Mango and fellow prosecutor Rocky J. Piaggione challenged the company's claims that the valve rarely opened and that when it did, it opened only briefly.
Prosecutors also contend that the company violated Clean Air Act regulations by using two "quench" or cooling towers that lacked baffles – wood slats designed to reduce the spread of particulate matter from hot coke produced at the plant.
They also have charged the company with violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which covers storage and treatment of coal tar sludge, one of the byproducts of making coke.
"This was toxic for benzene," Mango said of the sludge Tuesday. "Toxic and left on the ground."
The company also faces a single charge of obstructing justice, a reference to the April 2009 inspection and the allegation that Kamholz and others tried to conceal information about the valve from the inspectors.
Linsin told a far different story to the jury and Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
He suggested more than once that the government's case was based on trumped-up charges and a lack of concrete evidence. He also reminded the jury that Tonawanda Coke and Kamholz had a positive reputation among regulators until state and federal inspectors changed the rules in 2009.
"Thirty years of interaction," Linsin said of the company's dealings with inspectors. "Those decades of interaction are relevant."
In responding to Mango's assertion that money was a motivating factor for the company, Linsin said the company never shied away from making improvements that were necessary and warranted.
He also challenged the government's view that the small bleeder valve at the core of the case is a major source of air pollution.
"The location of that valve," he said, noting its prominence along the plant's coke oven gas line, "should tell you something about the intentions of the company that installed it."
Rodney O. Personius, Kamholz's defense lawyer, will give his summation before the jury begins deliberations today.

MACON, Ga. – Following the end of the Stetson lacrosse team's first regular season in program history, five Hatter freshmen were honored with postseason accolades by the Atlantic Sun Conference on Wednesday, as announced by the league office.
Making up nearly half of the All-Atlantic Sun Freshman Team, Danielle Horgan (Miami, Fla.), Mary Kate O'Sullivan (Naples, Fla.), Caili Guilday (Wallingford, Pa.), Maylis Broderick (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), and Paige Levesque (Bennington, Vt.) were tabbed as five of the best first year players in the conference.
Horgan and O'Sullivan were also named to the All-Atlantic Sun Second Team on Wednesday, while O'Sullivan and Guilday were unanimous selections for the All-Freshman Team.
Horgan, currently Stetson's leading goal scorer, has accumulated 20 goals in her first season with the Hatters. She has assisted on five others to total a tie for the team lead with 25 points. In conference contests, she has tallied 11 goals and three assists in just four games.
O'Sullivan, a newcomer to watch prior to the start of the 2013 season, backed up her early praise with 15 goals and five assists during the regular season. The midfielder also led the Hatters with 23 draw controls, added 17 ground balls, and caused eight turnovers.
Guilday came into her starting goalkeeper role midway through the season, earning nine straight starts to end the season. The two-time A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week finished the year with 91 saves, a 15.70 goals-against average, and a .425 save percentage. Guilday dropped her GAA in conference games to 13.56.
Tied for the team lead with 25 total points, 25 ground balls, and 17 caused turnovers, Broderick was a jack of all trades for the Hatters. The midfielder was also second on the team with 21 draw controls, and recorded a .889 shot on goal percentage. Broderick scored in Stetson's final seven games of the year, and 11 of the team's last 12.
Joining Horgan as a Stetson attack to earn honors from the A-Sun on Wednesday was Levesque. Her 14 goals were fourth on the team this season. She added four assists for a total of 18 points, and finished the year with 13 draw controls. Eight of Levesque's scores came in the Hatters' four league contests.
Stetson will play in the first ever A-Sun Women's Lacrosse Championship this weekend, opening the tournament against Detroit on Friday. The third seeded Hatters and the second seeded Titans are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. in Jacksonville.

Area Agencies on Aging solicit and contract with private vendors for services, administer the disbursement of funding, monitor programs for regulatory compliance and maintenance of quality, and generally coordinate operation of services and resources.
Area Agencies on Aging represent the original structure and system for delivering federally funded services to the elders of the nation and the Commonwealth. In Massachusetts, Area Agencies on Aging provide services in concert with another group of entities known as Aging Services Access Points, (or 'ASAPs', authorized within Section 19A of Massachusetts General Laws), which are often collocated with AAAs. ASAPs were formerly known as "Home Care Corporations", a name that spoke to their principal responsibility of operating the state-funded Home Care Program, a collection of supportive services designed to help elders remain independent and in their own homes, services that naturally complement those of the AAAs. In Massachusetts, there are 27 Aging Services Access Points, 20 of which are collocated with an Area Agency on Aging; seven ASAPs are 'stand-alone' entities, leaving three free-standing AAAs that fall outside the ASAP system.

Edward W. Houck, the 50-year-old Logan Township man accused of attempting to burn down his home and garage along Frankstown Road last Sunday, was released Friday from Blair County Prison after posting $35,000 cash bail.
A brother Craig Houck brought the bail to the Blair County Courthouse about 10 a.m., and Houck, who waived his preliminary hearing in the case on Thursday, was set free.
With his home on Frankstown Road boarded up - and at least temporarily in the exclusive possession of his estranged wife - Houck listed his new address at 589 Aungst Lane, Hollidaysburg.
According to his bail requirements, Houck must "refrain from criminal activity," a condition he said he would follow.
Other requirements are that he appear at all hearings or when requested, he not attempt to intimidate witnesses and he must provide notice to authorities if he changes his address.
Assistant District Attorney Julie Koren, who is handling the Houck prosecution, was not available for comment Friday.
Houck is facing eight criminal charges including arson, aggravated assault, risking a catastrophe, possession of a prohibited firearm, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, recklessly endangering and obstructing emergency services.
Logan Township police and fire personnel responding to Houck's home at 981 Frankstown Road on Sunday found several trees intentionally cut down. The garage and home were on fire.
Police said Houck was there with a bottle of beer in his hand and refused police commands to sit on the ground. He was armed.
Houck allegedly admitted he set the fires to his garage and home - property that is jointly owned with his estranged wife. The couple have been separated for three years.
The wife obtained a temporary protection-from-abuse order against Houck. It was signed Monday and will be heard in Blair County PFA Court on Thursday.
The wife's attorney, Joel Seeyle, has obtained a temporary order giving the wife exclusive possession of the property. A hearing will be held to determine if she will retain custody of the property.
According to the petition filed by Seeyle, there is concern that Houck was destroying the value of the marital property by setting the fires.
Possession was requested as a way to protect the property from further damage.
An order issued by a Blair County judge in Houck's ongoing divorce case indicated that marital assets were not to be sold or "dissipated" until a court hearing could be held to determine how to divide the assets.
That hearing was to have been held Wednesday but was continued because of Houck's arrest and the fires at the former couple's property.
The wife has requested that all bank accounts be frozen.
Houck was before Magisterial District Judge Steven Jackson Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
He waived his case to court after a plea deal was struck between the prosecution and Houck's attorney, Ted Krol, under which he will be sentenced to a year in jail.

Nutrition and Health of the Breastfed Infant
Breast milk is the most complete single source of nutrition for the first 6 months of life. There is no formula that duplicates breast milk. Breast milk contains:
- Antibodies and living cells that help protect the infant from infections. They also promote healthy bacteria that help the intestines to digest nutrients properly.
- Essential vitamins and minerals for optimal growth and development.
- Proteins, fats, and other substances that are especially adapted for the needs of a growing baby.
Breast milk changes over time with a baby's nutritional needs. The first milk produced is colostrum, a sticky, yellowish liquid that contains protein, minerals, vitamins, and antibodies. Colostrum is produced during pregnancy and the first few days after delivery. The transitional milk comes in after the colostrum, followed by mature milk about 10 to 15 days after you deliver your baby.
Breast milk also changes during each feeding. The last milk in the breast, called hindmilk, is higher in calories, nutrients, and fat and helps satisfy your baby's appetite. To get to the hindmilk, breastfeeding (or pumping) should continue on one breast until it is emptied. This usually requires at least 10 to 20 minutes of feeding or pumping for each breast.
Breast milk is easy to digest, so breastfed babies are rarely constipated. Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if your baby is having hard bowel movements and goes many days between bowel movements.
Breastfeeding protects and helps your baby in ways that formula feeding does not. These benefits include:
- Fewer upper respiratory infections (such as colds), ear infections, and lower respiratory infections (such as pneumonia). Breast milk has more than 50 components that boost the immune system and help protect your baby. When illnesses occur, they tend to be shorter and less severe. Fresh breast milk offers the highest concentration of protective antibodies.footnote 1
- A reduced risk for certain conditions, like diabetes, asthma, and high cholesterol.footnote 2
- Fewer gastrointestinal illnesses (vomiting and diarrhea).
- Reduced risk for obesity. Breastfed babies are less likely than formula-fed babies to be overweight later in infancy and during childhood and adolescence.footnote 2 Staying at a healthy weight reduces the risk for certain conditions, such as diabetes.
- A lower risk of food allergies, possibly.
Breastfeeding for at least 1 year is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Family Physicians, and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.footnote 2, footnote 3
Most doctors suggest 400 IU of vitamin D each day from a supplement. Talk with your doctor about how much and what sources of vitamin D are right for your child in addition to your child's other vitamin and mineral needs, especially iron.

Last month, I spent some time working on a messenger bag tutorial and submitted it to the Sew Mama Sew Back-to-School feature. And it was posted over there today! I hope it inspires some other crafters to make some. I have plans to make a second one for my oldest daughter in some laminate fabric.
I also modified the dimensions to make a matching lunch bag. I lined it with some PUL so it's also waterproof.
This messenger bag has barely left my little girls side and it even came camping with us last week. I love it when my girls use (and sometimes abuse) things I've made for them, it keeps me wanting to make more!

"It's a great chance to see the same group of people every year," said Carrie Heaton, who owns the business with her husband.
Heaton said they started their flower wholesale business 12 years ago when she and her husband had triplets, thus the name. She said they add a new feature to their display every year, and this year they're focusing on water.
"It's very warm and inviting when you walk in," Heaton said.
Other businesses, like RedOX Welding & Forging, based out of Evans, is making its first appearance at the trade show. James Dean Sallee, owner of the business, said he started the operation about a month ago after receiving his welding certificate from Aims Community College.
"I really enjoy welding, and I'm extremely artistic," said Sallee. "I'm hoping to use the show as a stepping point to make my business self-sufficient."
Sallee said he pulls inspiration from the mundane, envisioning the fantastic works they can become. He said he's also drawn to sword- and armor-making, using the fully functioning blacksmithing area at his home.
"I like the custom aspects metal can give," he said, as a child played with one of the handmade wind chimes at his stand. "I'm hoping I can make a career out of making the metal pieces."

Historic Navy Carrier Sold ... for a Penny
Posted October 24th, 2013 @ 11:24am by Arden Dier, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – A supercarrier once hailed as the "biggest ship ever built" has been sold—for a price that must rank among the smallest ever: one penny. All Star Metals now owns the historic USS Forrestal and will tow the 1,067-foot ship to its facility in Brownsville, Texas, where it will be scrapped. Though the ship has a long history—launched in 1954, it was the Navy's first supercarrier, and was the site of a Vietnam War tragedy—the Navy got no "viable applications" during its attempt to hand it to a museum or have it made into a memorial, Fox News reports.

Two men were arrested late Wednesday on multiple charges in connection with the apparent theft of copper wiring from the Wonder Bread factory on Urban Street, according to Buffalo Police.
Jason L. Norris, 22, of Fulton Street, and James L. Sauer, 34, of Green Avenue, were charged with burglary, felony criminal mischief, criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny and possession of burglar's tools.
The men apparently entered the factory through a hole in the building. Once inside, they used tools to take six rolls of copper wiring. In the process, police said, the men caused more than $1,500 damage to walls, ceilings and fixtures inside the building.
The copper was recovered, police said.

The tears, gasps and expressions sweetened each round of applause.
The Berkeley County School District recognized and awarded 26 middle and high school students from across the district at the 15th annual Turnaround Achievement Awards luncheon April 25 at the Berkeley Country Club.
Many of these students come from impoverished, broken homes. Their stories are extraordinary, as they appeared to go from zero to 100, making vast improvements at school and at home.
The stories were all compelling, some harrowing. Students were called to the stage with their principal or school representative and received a plaque from Deputy Superintendent Archie Franchini.
Each was given a chance to speak. Some thanked their teachers, parents, friends and supporters, while most shied away. Some shed tears and became short of breath from being overcome with emotion as they stepped to the podium.
Students received a monetary award from the district along with a pen and journal. BCSD Community Relations Director Amy Kovach told students the day of the turnaround luncheon would be their first journal entry.
"If you didn't have a tear in your eyes for some of these you've got a hard heart," Franchini said.
LaShayla Solomon came to Berkeley Alternative School last year as a seventh grader with a history of discipline issues. As one of eight children, she attributes that disruptive behavior to immaturity and various challenges she has confronted in her personal life.
LaShayla credits her improved behavior to growing up, encouragement from her older brother, support from her parents, and the loss of her beloved great grandmother who encouraged LaShayla to improve.
As an eighth grader, LaShayla is taking four high school classes and will complete the alternative program in May before beginning high school next year. She has had no discipline problems this year and is on the A/B honor roll.
Before this school year Cross High's Qwantavious Felder had a nonchalant attitude about schoolwork. He did not care about studying.
He now possesses the ultimate "can do" attitude while taking on all tasks with positive energy and a smile. His upbeat personality and engaging personal style enables him to interact effectively with students and teachers.
Qwantavious takes the initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of a student. He has excelled in many roles including as a student and an athlete. In his course work, he produces a high volume of work while maintaining high standards for quality and accuracy.
At the age of two, current Berkeley Middle College student Patrick Peterson and his siblings were removed from his mother's care and were taken to live with his grandmother. They moved frequently. Patrick attended 10 schools in four states. Patrick has dealt with hunger and the stress of caring for a younger brother and sister. He remembers feeling responsible for making sure the young children had food.
Often there was enough for them but not for him. He became a ward of the state, living in a foster home before being separated from his siblings and being assigned to a group home.
As a young teen he met an individual who helped him understand the strength that comes from faith. He realized he could become an advocate for himself and his future.
He called his aunt and uncle in South Carolina and asked to live with them. For several years they have provided him with a safe, supportive, loving home. When Patrick first visited Berkeley Middle College his last name was King. He recently became Patrick Peterson when his aunt and uncle legally adopted him.
Patrick applied to the Middle College two years ago, realizing academic success would help him toward his goal of becoming an engineer. He is vice president of the Beta Club and a member of the National Honor Society.
He is on track to earn the 38 semester hours of transferrable college credit, works the Berkeley Country Club, and will join the Corps of Cadets at The Citadel next fall as a member of the Class of 2017, with a life scholarship.
After a history of disciplinary incidents and conflicts with peers and members of the school's faculty, the behavior, attitude, and academic performance of Timberland High's Teqan White improved tremendously.
His overall grade point average skyrocketed 10 points. With the help of credit recovery, he has earned five credits in the fall and is on track to earning four in the spring.
He has had no disciplinary issues this year. He is a member of the track team and his coach is impressed with his manners and maturity. He is on track to graduate next year and will be in a position to excel in many areas in the years to come.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
I graduated from SVC in three years, and now I am attending the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. After obtaining my PharmD, I hope to pursue a residency and practice as a Clinical Pharmacist. I am from Beaver County, only a little more than an hour away from SVC, but I currently live in Oakland, Pennsylvania.
My favorite things about SVC socially would have to be all of the activities that were constantly at our disposal. There was so much to do; I never found myself bored. Another really great part about the social life at SVC is that because it is so small, you get to know people on a really personal basis. Some of the relationships I have forged in my time there will be with me for the rest of my life. Academically, I couldn't be happier that I chose St. Vincent. The high level of instruction that I received in my time there not only taught me how to think critically and problem solve, but also prepared me for the next step more than I could have ever imagined. I owe St. Vincent for the success that I am having now in my graduate program.
All of the homecoming festivities were always very fun as a student. One of the coolest things to witness and be a part of was the building of the Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion. I spent countless hours in both the old and new buildings, and it was fascinating to see the change. Now science students at SVC finally have the top-notch facility to match the education that they are receiving.
The biggest tip that I have for freshman would be for them to take the opportunity to succeed at SVC seriously, but don't forget to have fun as well. The time is gone before you know it!

I am in the middle of a project where we handle some personal information, such as users addresses. Obviously we don't want to display a users address to someone other than that user. Now I'm looking for ways to "obfuscate" the address in a way that makes it obvious to the right person that the address displayed is her address, but not for others.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

It was supposed to be the next big thing but it fizzled out like MMS
An important thing to note is you would have to use the speakerphone
to do video calls (unless you're always on BT headset or handsfree,
which is not true for an overwhelming majority of people) and this
compromises privacy in a big way…no one wants people nearby snooping
in on their conversations.
Would love to hear your thoughts on why it hasn't taken off yet?
I will make a post about the responses I receive and will publish them
in a few weeks for all to see (names are anonymous)
