Attack of the Soler Powered Headlines
Well, he passes the eyeball test with flying colors. Entering the ballpark in the top of the first you know something new has been added to the home team as soon as you fix on the leggy right fielder. Clear from the mezzanine behind home plate you can't help but notice that pair of long, thick Cuban stogies as he lopes under the game's first out.
The lineup now has some real heart to it, what with serial sluggers hitting third, fourth and fifth.
Baez fanned meekly to end the 1st. Bryant reached on an error leading off the 2nd and swiped a base (two in effect since the surprised, belated throw ended up in the outfield and advanced Bryant to 3rd) while all attentions were on the new kid in town hitting behind him. Soler had to be anxious but he never swung before walking on a pitch that nearly beaned him. Next time up, though, he followed Bryant's single with one of his own, guided right back up the middle on the first pitch he saw. Then later he would accept another base on balls when he passed on a close 3-2 pitch. He appears to have what used to be known as "a good eye" before it was euphemized into "command of the zone."
By their third turns Baez must have been chomping to reclaim some spotlight. So he launched an OMG moonshot over and out of the playing premises into the leftfield parking lot. There was some wind behind the blast but still it was something to behold. Maybe a better barometer of his prodigious power was the double he swatted on Wednesday afternoon when he took an outside pitch off the base of the wall in center, sans breeze. The crack of the bat registered somewhere between a literally cracked bat and the thunderous boom of last night's homer. It was kind of a brittle sound like the taking of a small bite; the peep of a popup. And it went off the base of the wall in dead center.
Suddenly the club that's been trailing the PCL in hitting most of the summer looks the most dangerous on paper. Don't forget that Mike (all or nothing at all) Olt has also been stirred into the mix. Last night he laced a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double and got to soak up some cheers from a nice-sized crowd for the first time in what must have felt like a mighty long time. And in another at-bat he bounced a, wait for it…single (gasp)! He also botched a play defensively at first base but that hardly matters.
It was a good night at the ballpark quite apart from all of those goings-on. The breeze felt refreshing and carried an almost narcotic aroma mixed from grilling sausage and popping popcorn. If you listened close you could hear the pwoosh of beer vendors popping open their merchandise. By the middle innings when the sun was calling it a day the field and sky looked through naked eyes the way they do through sunglasses at midday. It was one of those nights when I fell into trances between innings. Except when the t-shirt bazooka fired a round straight at me. I caught it, banded up like a cowboy's bedroll. I figured it was probably something from a realtor or insurance agent; probably in a medium or a large so I didn't even bother to unroll it until I got home. It was fun just to be one of the few among nearly 10,000 to actually win something for free! The fact that it turned out to be a genuine I-Cub t-shirt, size XXL, made it almost hard to fall asleep, even way past regular lights-out; even sporting that brand new pajama top. But I managed, with visions of back-to-back-to-back soaring in my head.

While this look is not predictive when looking at the Cubs and each team that met this criterion had its own unique competitive cycle, it indicates that the majority of teams in a similar situation to the Cubs have gone on to periods of success, most of them quickly
Definitely a first in my
Definitely a first in my lifetime, this minor league thing.
I remember reading the Sporting News long ago and every year looking to see how their ONE good prospect was doing. Then he'd come up to the majors, back in the day when there was no Internet, and you'd see a huge hitch in his swing, ala Pat Bourque. No warnings from forum posters, nothing. Just this awful hitch, and you knew, right then, that the guy you'd been watching in the minor league stats sheets was going to bomb badly.
Today, the Cubs almost have too many prospects - not that there really can be such a thing. But it won't be long until we see the team competitive and then some prospects like Villanueva and Vogelbomb get traded for a veteran pitcher, and they'll go on to great things. It's probably inevitable that a lower level prospect or two gets traded and TheoCorp will take some heat for it, but it's also unavoidable because they will eventually have to package some for starting pitching. I see this as a good thing.

More talent in that group of 20 than all of the Hendry years combined. The really sad part is when Hendry left, Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters were the crown jewel of his farm system.
I think we can finally see what it means to invest in scouts, have a GM that knows how to evaluate talent, and have the coaches in place to work with talent. All of that was missing under Hendry, and Theo has done a damn fine job so far into making it a real minor league system. Instead of just a couple jokes (Jackson and Vitters) and a whole lot of nothing behind it.
Kind of the lost in the shuffle are guys like Schwarber, and McKinney who I think could be just as good as the names we all know.
I agree with you about the
I agree with you about the unprecedented depth of the talent pool today, but let's not forget that Wilken also drafted Donaldson, Cashner, Samardzija, Baez and Vogelbach, while Fleita's side of the house signed Castro and Alcantara.
It might be interesting to contrast Alcantara and Corey Patterson, smallish prospects with similar toolsets that included speed, power and defensive ability. I might give Alcantara a slight edge in toolsiness for his infield skills and for hitting from both sides of the plate. Patterson was a big deal when he was rising in the minors, where Alcantara was mostly under the radar until this year, and he is still excluded from groupings like the Core Four and the Fab Five. The bar has obviously been set much higher in the Epstein era.
[Rob, I haven't been able to log in fully to TCR for several days, at least using Chrome. This morning I thwarted your attempt to silence me by switching to IE!]
Good points all VaPhil! I'd
Good points all VaPhil! I'd point out that Alcantara had a lot more success in AAA than Patterson did.
Still can't believe how they rushed him through..seemed like Patterson could've used a full season at AAA.
Oh well...
Patterson doesn't have
Patterson doesn't have Daytona on his resume, either. It's tough down there in the FSL--ask Almora and Schwarber. Trying to read Hendry's mind, here's what I get: Patterson is heading to the majors anyway, so why make him slow down at speed bumps?
Well, maybe Schwarber stopped scuffling last night, we'll see, but that was the point of sending him to Daytona when he was barely out of Indiana U. Hoyer on Baez earlier this year:
He's in a big slump. He'll have to figure his way out of it. He'll be stronger for having gone through this.
Exactly. why skip a step on
Exactly. why skip a step on the development process? It wasn't like Patterson destroyed AA and AAA.
eh...hindsight and all I suppose...but I know there were those that questioned his readiness to leave AAA so quickly.
Pat Bourque. There's a name
Pat Bourque. There's a name from the past that gives me the heebie jeebies. How about another like Gene Hiser (Cubs' 1st round pick in 1970)? They REALLY didn't know how to draft and develop position players back then.
To compound that, they made a
To compound that, they made a bunch of bad trades in the '70s. In some cases, they gave up young talent for older players.
November 2, 1972: Billy North to A's for Bob Locker. North, 24 at the time of the trade, became the starting center fielder for the A's, who won the world series in each of the first two years after the trade. Locker, 34 at the time of the trade, had a good year for the Cubs in 1973, going 10-6, with 18 saves and a 2.54 ERA over 106 innings pitched, and was then involved in two subsequent Cubs-A's trades (i) November 3, 1973, traded by the Cubs to the A's for Horacio Pina and (ii) October 23, 1974, traded by the A's with Darold Knowles and Manny Trillo to the Cubs for Billy Williams. Locker did not pitch in 1974 and posted a 4.96 ERA for the Cubs in 1975 before getting released in June of that year.
May 2, 1975: Burt Hooton to Dodgers for Geoff Zahn and Eddie Solomon. Solomon pitched 6-2/3 innings for the Cubs in 1975, and was traded prior to the start of the 1976 season to the Cardinals for Ken Crosby, who posted an ERA of 8.41 over parts of two seasons for the Cubs. Zahn pitched 62-2/3 innings over the rest of 1975 for the Cubs, with a record of 2-7 and an ERA of 4.45, then got hurt the following year. The Cubs released Zahn in January 1977. Hooton, 25 at the time of the trade, went 18-7 for the Dodgers over the rest of 1975, and was a mainstay of the Dodger rotation for the next 6 years, winning 70 games over such period, finishing second in NL Cy Young voting in 1978 and pitching in three world series.
May 17, 1976: Andre Thornton to the Montreal Expos for Steve Renko and Larry Biittner. At the time of the trade, Thornton was 26, Renko 32 and Biitner 30. Biitner's career OPS+ was 88. Renko went 8-11 for the Cubs in 1976 with an ERA of 3.86. Renko was traded in August 1977 to the White Sox for Larry Anderson and cash. Thornton had a career OPS+ of 122 and hit over 200 home runs in the ten plus years he spent in the majors after leaving the Cubs.
February 11, 1977: Bill Madlock and Rob Sperring to Giants for Bobby Murcer, Andy Muhlstock (minors) and Steve Ontiveros. At the time of the trade, Madlock was 25 and had just won his second consecutive batting title (in three full major league seasons), with OPS+ numbers of 123, 141 and 150 during his 3 years with the Cubs. Madlock played 11 more years, finishing with a career batting average of .305 and a career OPS+ of 123 and winning two additional batting titles in 1981 and 1983. Murcer was 30 at the time of the trade and his latest three seasons (at the time of the trade) in terms of OPS+ were 107, 127 and 123. Murcer played 2 full years for the Cubs, going 27HR 89RBI .265 in 1977 and 9HR 64RBI .281 in 1978. Murcer was traded to the Yankees in June 1979 for Paul Semall, a minor leaguer. Ontiveros, 25 at the time of the trade, became the Cubs' starting 3rd baseman and had a decent year in 1977, hitting 10HR 68RBI .299 with an OPS+ of 109. He fell off significantly after that and cut by the Cubs in 1980. His career OPS+ was 95 and he was below that number in each of his last three years with the Cubs. He may have been injured for the better part of 1978 and 1980.

Only Hair Line Creations benefited with the arrival of Steve Ontiveros.
I believe the Madlock trade
I believe the Madlock trade was related to salary demands and some discrimination on the part of PK Wrigley who died in April 1977 only 2 months after the Madlock trade. PK wasn't used to feisty players like Madlock (think Billy Williams and Ernie Banks). To add to the context, this was still fresh on the heels of the Curt Flood reserve clause challenges (1971) and the Seitz decision (Dec 1975). Finally, there was the new 1976 MLBPA agreement permitting free agency after 6 years of service.
Personally, I was always dumbfounded by that trade, as Murcer was the embodiment of the failed hype as the next Mickey Mantle with warning track power (and the aggressiveness of a sea slug. Also known for his locker room rocking chair.
and the Cubs, who had found their replacement for Ron Santo would once again continue that search until ARam (excluding a brief visit by Ron Cey).
and although I hate citing BCB, here is their writeup on Madlock:
Old Phil Wrigley stated his case succinctly in 1977, when the Cubs decided to trade Madlock to San Fransisco, saying, "When these players are impossible to deal with, I'd rather let somebody else have them."
I think Wrigley was just
I think Wrigley was just pissed that Madlock put the nail in the coffin of the Carmen Fanzone era.

BP writeup on 3 of the Cub
BP writeup on 3 of the Cub farmhands not in the core:
Marco Hernandez, SS, Cubs (High-A Daytona)
There is no system in baseball with more shortstop depth than the Cubs', which is unfortunate for Marco Hernandez, who is as blocked as any minor leaguer in the game. Hernandez will never be Chicago's starting shortstop, but he probably won't be anyone else's starting shortstop either because he doesn't profile to have any impact with the bat. He's a slap hitter from the left side who makes no effort to drive the ball, understanding his role as a speed-based player. He puts the ball on the ground repeatedly but he will never have better than an average hit tool with no power. Where Hernandez makes his name is in the field. He's a plus-plus shortstop who can be a true asset both with his glove and his arm. Smooth and fluid on routine ground balls, he also features plus range to either side and natural creativity on tough plays, regularly flipping the ball behind his back or between his legs on double play turns when necessary. Hernandez won't hit enough to play regularly on a good team and is about the fifth best option for the Cubs at the position, but his glove should be enough to carry him to the majors and allow him to carve out a Freddy Galvis–like role. —Jeff Moore
Duane Underwood, RHP, Cubs
Duane Underwood, RHP, Cubs (Low-A Kane County)
Underwood works with a simple step-back delivery and a 3/4 arm slot. The arm whip is fast and crisp, though he does create an inverted W with his upper body. Underwood worked in the 92-95 mph range with his fastball. It had two-seam action lower in the velocity band, but he had trouble locating it all night. The curveball had some sharp bite beneath the strike zone but he was unable to locate it effectively for strikes. Underwood showed a few changeups, including a few backdoor changes that flashed plus fade, but overall it looked like a show-me pitch that will require work. The raw ingredients are there for Underwood to succeed but he's going to have to work on fastball command first and foremost; everything else will play up if he can locate his fastball effectively. The curve command will have to come along as well, as he will have to learn how to throw the pitch for effective strikes. At present, it's just a chase pitch and the higher levels will lay off. Underwood is intriguing, but he'll need refinement. —Mauricio Rubio
Shawon Dunston, OF, Cubs (Low
Shawon Dunston, OF, Cubs (Low-A Kane County)
An 11th-round pick in the 2011 draft, Dunston was clearly selected to be a slow burn. His first couple of seasons brought moderate success in short-season ball, but the jump to full-season wasn't so kind. He'd been playing sporadically and didn't look comfortable at the plate, finding it hard to get in a groove. After the All Star break, however, especially in the wake of Jacob Hannemann's promotion to Daytona, Dunston has found himself getting everyday reps and the results have followed. In July, he's hitting .410/.426/.525, and it hasn't just been BABIP luck: In the last two games, Dunston has stung the ball five or six times. As the son of a major leaguer, it's no surprise that Dunston is a good athlete, running times around 4.2 seconds to first. He doesn't feature his father's 80 arm; it's average or a tick below. Overall, Dunston does not have an impact profile, but he has put himself firmly on the prospect radar. Even though there isn't much power potential, as the hit tool manifests, there's the possibility he becomes a solid extra outfielder. —Jordan Gorosh
I went to see Kane County
I went to see Kane County yesterday. For those of you in the Chicago area, I recommend the experience. The ballpark is a nice modern facility and it is a nice family atmosphere.
Skulina started and was relieved by Concepcion. Each gave up a solo homer and the Cougars lost 2-1 to West Michigan, a Tigers affiliate. Skulina pitched decently, with 7K and 1 BB in 7 IP; his fastball seemed to top out at 91-92.
Dunston hit 3 balls pretty hard and had two nice singles. The rest of the team only had 2 hits, a double by Candelario (which frankly should have been a single if the outfielder could throw) and a double by Penalver. The starting lineup: Dunston lf, Pelalver ss, Candelario 3b, Rogers 1b, Brockmeyer c, Brown dh, Young 2b, Baez rf, Martin cf.
If Dunston is a corner outfielder, he will need to develop some power.

I was just reading the same
I was just reading the same thing - and I actually agree with the cubs. If they are gonna start pushing forward next year those two guys are my choice to hang around because 1.) they are outfielders a which we'll need, and 2.) they've been through the ups and downs of success and failure personally - especially Caghlan which is a nice perspective to have with a lot of kids coming up.
Obviously if it's a decent prospect you trade them, but they are good guys to have around and young enough too.

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.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The Potters brought home the hardware.
The East Liverpool golf team advanced all the way to the Ohio Division II State Golf Tournament held Oct. 12-13 on Ohio State University's Scarlet Golf Course in Columbus.
The Potters placed sixth with a score of 685.
Individually for East Liverpool, Blake Prince produced a 166, Alex Watson shot 171, Isaac Davidson delivered a 176, Joey Cilone contributed a 179 and Ryian Burson netted a 180.
As a result of the Potters strong showing this season, the East Liverpool golf team was well represented on the 2012 Eastern District Golf Coaches Association Division II All-Star Teams.
All six of the Potters' varsity players were named to one of the teams, and East Liverpool also was honored by sharing the top two awards handed out at the coaches meeting.
Prince and St. Clairsville's Zach Keylor were named Eastern District Co-Players of the Year.
"It shows his consistency throughout the whole year," East Liverpool head coach Ben Wright said about Prince's award. "It shows all of the coaches we played against all year saw he was one of the top competitors around the state."
Wright also took home an award as he and St. Clairsville head coach Rick Oberdick were named Eastern District Co-Coaches of the Year.
"Winning the coach of the year award, I have to give credit to all of the kids I had this year," Wright said. "Obviously, we had a successful season, and a lot of awards come with that and it comes with the amount of time and effort - like the kids I had - put in this year."
Prince, Davidson and Cilone were named First Team All-Eastern District.
Watson was named Second Team All-Eastern District.
Finally, Ryian Burson and Matt Hilditch were both named Honorable Mention All-Eastern District.
"I believe we were the only team to have every player honored," Wright said. "I know it is the first time it has happened since I have been the coach. It shows a lot of consistency on their part. It shows how much hard work they put in and how good they really are. On teams around the state, my No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 guys would be their No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 players."
Watson is the lone senior of the group.
"The kids are definitely excited about next year," Wright said. "We lose Alex. That is a huge loss, but we have got five guys coming back from the varsity team. We are looking to make another good run next year."
Prince, Cilone, Burson and Hilditch are all juniors. Davidson is a freshman.
"This was probably the most rewarding year I have had in sports," Wright said. "This group of kids took me all the way to the Scarlet Course and the state tournament. I am glad we were rewarded at the Eastern District meeting.
Also, Edison's Adam Ryan and Jimmy Marsh were both named Honorable Mention All-Eastern District.
On the girls' side, Edison's Kaylea Bell was named Academic All-Ohio in Division II.

You take un-edited photos with your cell phone camera, and I try to do this once a day. Sometimes with my phone, most times with my mind. Like:
Friday, cleaning day. I took a break, and got Ivy to nap. And the bed was made, with us dreaming (and daydreaming) on top, and in this fleeting moment all was right with the world.
Saturday, at (a friend's) the lake house. Carter taking a leap. Hubs and I talked and decided we'd much rather a beach in our back yard vs. a pool. I could sit and write and think and "waste away" an entire day on a shore, and never have to get in.
Sunday, if I had taken a real photo, it would have been me in the back of church sitting on the floor nursing Ivy to sleep. She didn't want to go in the nursery that morning and I couldn't resist her hug so tight to me. Breastfeeding her to sleep, listening to the message, singing praise songs, taking communion, with her asleep in my arms was pieces of heaven, I imagined. (Ok, maybe I did try taking a photo, in church no less, but it was too dark where I was sitting.)
[yellow ducky towel smiling at me amidst a pile of laundry]
Monday, I made piles of laundry and back and forth to the washing machine I regarded the mound of towels on my bathroom floor, the way they were there in front of my ruffled shower curtain, the way the mid-day sunlight poured in, the yellow ducky hoody towel was peeking out, playfully. Made me smile.
My life inspired set can be seen here when I actually do take the pictures, with my iphone camera.

After an eight-day layoff, the Stetson women's basketball team returns to the court Tuesday to face Lynn University on the fourth annual Volusia County Schoolchildren Day. The special tip-off time at the Edmunds Center is set for 11 a.m.
The Hatters (3-3 overall) are undefeated at home and are coming off a 78-66 win over Ball State on Nov. 25. Stetson knocked down a school-record 14 three-pointers in that game and dished out 24 assists.
Lynn University, a Division II program from Boca Raton, Fla., is off to a strong start this season. The Fighting Knights (5-1) won their first five games of the season before falling to Florida Southern 59-52 on Saturday.
Students from several local elementary schools will be in attendance on Tuesday. In last year's schoolchildren game the Hatters defeated ETSU 68-60 in front of 3417 spirited young fans.
Regardless of age, the Hatters have been giving all of their fans a lot to cheer about lately. Stetson has won seven straight and 19 of its last 20 games at the Edmunds Center. In the three home games this year, the Hatters have trailed for only 1:40 of the 120 minutes played.
Stetson has also been knocking down three-pointers at a fantastic rate. In addition to the school record set last Sunday, the Hatters lead the Atlantic Sun Conference and rank among the top 30 nationally in three-pointers made per game (7.8) and three-point field goal percentage (.373).
Fans can watch the game for free on HatterVision. Bill Topping and Dee Romine will have the call. Live Stats, the @StetsonWBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.

Martin made an important stride towards proving the financial burden of its
F-35 program is worthwhile, when it recently delivered a production jet at
Eglin Air Force Base. The private contractor believes the F-35 will help
modernize the U.S. military, and help allies keep their airspace safe (for a
hefty price).
The F-35 model Eglin took delivery of was the F-35 Lightning II model, and the
jet requires a traditional takeoff and landing. Eglin first expected to receive
the fighter in November, but design and engineering issues forced a delay until
"We're incredibly proud of our government/industry team whose steadfast
dedication to this program led to the successful delivery of AF-9
today," noted Larry Lawson, Lockheed Martin F-35 program manager. "The
exceptional capabilities of this 5th generation fighter are now in the very
capable hands of the men and women of the 33rd Fighter Wing who are ushering in
a new era of F-35 training. We look forward to delivering our full complement
of F-35s to the Emerald Coast in the months and years ahead."
The F-35's introduction at Eglin AFB has led to excitement in the region, with
base officials anxiously waiting since late 2009.
Even though Eglin personnel had to wait longer than expected, preparation work
continued in simulators and in classrooms. Flight operators are now trying to
figure out how to split up flight and training time among an anxious staff
hoping to jump into the cockpit and have wrench time with the aircraft.
The F-35 Lightning II and other variations of the pricey fighter jet will be
utilized by the Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, and several other allied
Despite being a program with extremely high hopes, the F-35 has endured a bumpy
road as budget issues and continued delays plague the military. Lockheed
recently told the Senate Armed Services Committee that some models will cost a
whopping $771 million per aircraft -- with a $264M down payment requested to the
To make matters worse, necessary F-22 upgrades also are overbudget, and U.S. lawmakers are
growing tired of Lockheed Martin's development issues.
quote: It just so happened that during the A-10s conception, soldiers on the ground were expected to defend against Soviet tanks, hence the reason for the GAU-30 in the A-10. In fact, I would argue that the Avenger is a CAS weapon with anti-armor capability, rather than an anti-armor weapon that has proved useful for CAS.
quote: For straight up anti-armor, not CAS, a flight of F-15Es carrying eight GBU-12s each is arguably a more reliable, efficient and survivable solution than a flight of A-10s (i.e. "Tank Plinking").
quote: Well I was pretty much with you until this. How can you argue that, I mean really. A CAS weapon with anti armor abilities? Bull! You don't wrap a plane around a cannon capable of penetrating main tank armor with a depleted uranium slug and call it a "CAS" weapon that just happens to have anti-armor capabilities. Come on, what are you trying to spin here?
quote: Too fast and not nearly maneuverable enough down low at those speeds. Tanks aren't always sitting out in an open field. To kill a tank, especially dug in ones, you first have to SEE the tanks. Tanks usually aren't alone either, you also have to engage support vehicles and anti-aircraft defenses. That's where the A-10 comes in.
quote: In short, how can the A-10 possibly be better in a straight up anti-armor role (non-CAS)? It is more vulnerable to AA defenses and enemy fighters, and carries less anti-tank munitions than the F-15E.
quote: In comparison, A-10s did some daytime SCUD hunting but spent the majority of its time hunting tanks over Kuwait/Basra. That's one reason why A-10s scored more anti-armor kills.
quote: You gave up trying to argue that a 30mm cannon can reliably penetrate the armor of enemy tanks, so I guess I should credit you for progress.
quote: I really don't get your hostile resistance to the notion that the F-15E can be a better anti-armor platform than the A-10 in a non-CAS role.
quote: Uhhh duh? Maybe because the A-10 was specifically designed and equipped to hunt tanks? It's not a coincidence that the A-10 gets the nod anytime we need a strike against enemy armor. If you were correct, we would have used F-15's exclusively.
quote: Only in the front. Guess what? Tank treads aren't armored. And every A-10 jockey knows the rear of a tank is the sweet spot. The armor is thinner and the engine and fuel are there too. Claiming the 30mm cannon with depleted uranium penetrates and exploding rounds cannot decimate tanks is hilarious. Truly ignorant.
quote: Anti-Armor is part of CAS! Read the links in my post below. Both of yall are correct about some aspects of the A-10 role, but yall are hoplessly fixed on different aspects.
quote: You just want to keep diminishing the A-10's anti-tank specialty in an effort to convince us it's a "close air support" craft exclusively. Keep dreaming. For CAS it doesn't need that uber cannon, it's such overkill.

You didn't mention that the Rondo handled the mountain passes with summits over 11,000 ft with ease. Many cars purchased at sea level can't do that without having the carburetor adjusted to get more oxygen. There's a lot less oxygen at altitude. We were impressed with your car.ReplyDelete

Applause to the city of Elkins for scheduling a Halloween party to make up for the cancellation of trick-or-treating during Superstorm Sandy.
The party is slated for 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Elkins-Randolph County YMCA, and it will feature games, fortune telling, trick-or-treating and a costume contest. Admission for the event will be a canned good or nonperishable item that will be donated to a local food pantry.
Not having trick-or-treating in Elkins in the wake of Sandy was definitely the right call, but area children will appreciate the chance to have some fun after weeks of storm recovery.
Applause to the West Virginia Veterans' Legacy Project at Glenville State College, which has created an art installation, a book and a theater performance from a series of oral histories of veterans' experiences. The project also created a documentary, "Tradition of Service," which will be reshown on WVPBS at 7 p.m. Sunday.
Applause to local individuals and organizations who have created a Community and Compassion Food Drive sponsored by the Elkins Rotary Club, Randolph County Schools and the Randolph County Alternative Learning Center. Nonperishable food items will be collected from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday.
Collection sites have been set up at Elkins Kmart, Elkins Walmart, Elkins Big Lots, Erickson's Service Station and Shop 'n Save Express in Elkins. Food collected will be distributed to Tyrand Cooperative Ministries in Mill Creek, Catholic Charities West Virginia, the back pack program and the Rock.
Boo to anyone who didn't take advantage of the opportunity to participate in democracy and cast a vote in this week's general election. Officials reported a higher-than-average voter turnout in local counties, but many still let their chance to make their voices heard slip away.
As the saying goes, if you don't vote, you can't complain about the results.
Applause to everyone who lent a hand in recovery efforts following Superstorm Sandy's rampage through our area last week. From shelter volunteers to volunteer firefighters, dozens upon dozens of local people stepped up to the challenge of taking care of their neighbors in a time of extreme crisis.
With many in our area still without electricity, it is obvious that Sandy's after-effects will be felt for some time to come. We encourage everyone with the ability to contribute to the recovery efforts to get involved.

Nice logo!
*i know the shift enter thing... but by leaving double as default you are asking for needlessly long threads (when people dont hit shift/enter
great video - very slick - but still human. nice work guys
PLEASE unblur the C9 guy ....(especially from the eyes up) the white blur/shadow has to go - and he isnt crisp enough
*id say thats a pretty small request...?
*PS - i dont know if you noticed - but each time you edit a post - you get more and more spaces between every line of text.
And double space instead of 1 space on return is back too (like it was last version and you put it back to single space return)
looking at it again ... i will say that the c9 guy looks ...blurry?
(not pixel crisp - like now)
edit: layout is fine (ill relearn it) but the 9 guy and even the wording "Channel 9" brand um.... im here if you need
* there should be VOTES on c9 logos and wordmarks... id love to submit.... 10
edit: no... 9!
edit 2: * i thought the new logo would be there... and while that might not appeal to everyone ... it was made by a user... and its 2d (not 3d) and its a change ... but its still ... c9guy (and believe me... i KNOW c9 guy)
anyway... good luck... Im a leo ... i love orange and red and gold...
..and TEAL win95!
good interview.
i doubt ill ever start a tshirt site..
but whatever you guys need - never hesitate to ask. ill always make time for c9
wow - that was very telling...
fun reading bill gates body language as he describes letting ballmer into to run the show
"steves great at hiring guys" "programmers like being run by programmers"
..just wow.

the 80's MS logo - i dont remember seeing that - very cool with the slanting and drop down letters - looks almost NEW
and also cool was MS UNIX = Xenix?? double wow.
it even starts with X (box)
ps - is my Xphone ready yet * and i may reconsider if it's Xune
great. cant wait to see samples of his work. his designs. how he made them.
Id settle for rough mockups others finished - otherwise ..its not really about design
ok ..so i actually watched this.
i dont want to rag about it.. the guy seems nice enough... but basically it seemed like a staged advert for expression and workflow
Maybe interview the designers that work for this (marketing) guy... and show samples of their work - and how they made it.
And how many revisions they had to go through working with the teams at MS
Sorry - but Experience Designer... does not = the grunts that actually design the stuff

This is what a 4.8 inch Apple iPhone Math might look like
0. phoneArena 22 Jan 2013, 22:00 posted on
On Monday, it was believed that an Apple iPhone with a 4.8 inch screen would be introduced in June at the same time that the 7th-generation Apple iPhone would be unveiled as the Apple iPhone 5S; but that was Monday and the latest rumor has two 4 inch models coming this year, and a larger screened model not coming until 2014 or beyond...

absolutely spot on my friend! I mean Apple has to bring some design changes like the OS UI, presentation, do away with annodied aluminum and for crying out loud do away with the giant-ass bazel on top and bottom which take most of the phone!
The ip5 is nearly as tall as the Note 2 with just a 4 inch screen....wonder how they grow 'em at Apple :)

I would love to see em lose the extra bezel. One of the things I do not like about an otherwise beautiful device. As usual u speak true, and intelligent... It's time for apple to hit one outta the park.
71. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Wonder y they're call in it Math though...could it be maybe because of some exciting new feature to do with Math, archoitecture and graphics just like how did note has productivity features because that would be really sweet to see

I will say this, the first thing that popped in my mind was that Samsung commercial:
"This year we're finally getting everything we didn't get last year."
Some other guy chimes in: "A big screen!"
33. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3779; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Did you guys miss the opening line..."We bet that once you read yesterday's speculation about an Apple iPhone with a 4.8 inch screen, you started daydreaming of what such a model would look like."...man! Alan really made all of us sound like iFans right there!!

iFind it sooo hilarious that the way the size of the iPhones are judged is by rows of silly icons :/
7. yougotkilled1 (Posts: 167; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Adding one extra row for apps would be considered a major change. Yay? -___-

I would prefer a 4 inch iphone then a 4.8. I used to think 3.5-4 was perfect but now with the slimmer phones and smaller bezeles 3.5-4.3 is perfect for me with my average/small hands. I can do 4.5 thats fine its just a tad to big. With a very small bezel maybe I could comfortably use a 4.8 inch iphone but I would prefer them to keep within the 4-4.3 and 4.5 at the biggest . I still think my iphone 4 screen size is perfect 90% of the time. Really amazing for texting and phone calls. It's a bit small for video though.
Ofcourse everyone has varrying handsizes and that changes what phone size they are comfortable with.
21. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I agree, a 4.0" android phone made by Moto or Sony (I'm thinking iPhone 4/4s SIZED (it'll run android) would be perfect for me, but the Flagships are all huge, and there aren't really any premium smaller phones
65. darkkjedii (Posts: 21320; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
I agree with u. I hope it's gets to b no more than 4.5.

The PlayStation 3 has the Dualshock 3 for example, Is virtually the same controller as the 1997 Dualshock and the 2000 Dualshock 2, here applies when someone says "If its not broken, don't fix it"...
But the iPhone Math the same as the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5??? Why? I like the iPhone 4 design, but the same again, again, and again... it feels like a Deja Vu...

More and more icon rows...doesnt matter how big the screen gets because it will always look the same. If you really want to know what a big screen phone looks like, just look at almost every other phone put out last year :-). Way to be behind the times...at this point...is it your standard Apple?

Hahaha! obvious possible!
36. Bozzor (Posts: 177; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Firstly, iPhone Math is ridiculous - the reality is that this has been mis-heard by someone whose first language is not English as "iPhone Math" when what someone actually said was "iPhone Max" - or it may have been that someone saw something written as "iPhone +" and took that to mean "iPhone Math".
And just adding another row of icons? I doubt it: much more sense for Apple to increase screen size to 4.8 inches and then double (OK, quadruple) the resolution to 2272 x 1280: that would give them huge bragging rights, and I believe that pixel density is doable with the vaunted IGZO screen technology. And it would be a very simple matter for app developers to simply double the resolution as they did for the 3GS to the iPhone 4. The 4S to 5 leap was tricky because of the change in aspect ratios, but the solution as above would be a great way to answer a challenge.

That is not gonna happen body
38. Rocksteady (unregistered)
Maybe apple is trying to rename widgets, as an excuse to use them, then call it their own creation, apple is stuck with the icons, and all they can do is give more rows of icons.
Maybe the iphone 7 will see and extra COLUMN of icons, that would change everything again.
44. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
ohman, good news we got the 6th row
46. iDroid8 (Posts: 155; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
One extra row of icons was added because the phone became just longer, w/o any increase in width-due to a change in aspect ratio
And now since the aspect ratio is to be kept the same, increase will be in both rows and columns-especially if screen size increases from 4" to the massive(for phone) 4.8"
Still, apple have to do something with this UI, the undisputed winner of 2007 may not be the same in 2013 -_-

The Occurrence and Removal Possibilities of Fluoride in ArushaArea

Degree Programme:
The main problem of the quality of water in Arusha and Arumeruareas is the high fluoride concentration both in surface and groundwaters. Water samples collected earlier and during this study indicated fluoride values exceeding the WHO limit of 1,5 mk/l though many of them were within the Tanzanian rural water standard, less than 8,0 mg/l. In these areas average fluoride values ranged from 0,9 to 6,8mg/l in the water sources now used for water supply. In Arusha town, out of the 8 spring sources investigated, 4 (50%) had average fluoride values exceeding 1,5 mg/l and out of the 25 boreholes investigated, 23 (92 %) had fluoride levelexceeding this limit. The rivers had average fluoride values ranging from 1,4 to 3,9 mg/l. In the distribution system at certain points in Arusha town fluoride values in water supply ranged from 2,6 to 4,0 mg/l as a result of dilution caused by mixing different water sources. The investigation for fluoride level in various water sources of Arumeru area showed the highest fluoride level in lakes. In Momela lakes the fluoride level was up to 690 mg/l. The average fluoride level in rivers ranged from 1,1 to 6,8mg/l and the exceptional cases were the Maji ya Chai and Engarenanyuki rivers which had high fluoride concentrations of up to 23 mg/l and 76 mg/l respectively. This is due to the formation of magadi salts at the riverbasins. Out of the 99 spring sources investigated in this area, 80 (81%) had average fluoride values above 1,5 mg/l and out of the 49 boreholes investigated, 33 (70 %) had the fluoride level above this value. Apart from the effects caused by fluoride in water, the foodstuffs taken by the people in the study area contribute to the addition of fluoride in the human body. This has given rise to serious diseases caused by excessfluoride in various parts of the area. These include knock knee, bow legs, severe pitting of the teeth, sober shin and fixed kyphosis of stiffness of the spine. There is an immediate need to find locally available materials for fluoride removal because there are problems of getting the imported chemicals for the purpose. Experiments conducted during the thesis period indicated a possibility of using locally available materials like limestoneas filter media for fluoride removal. /Kir09

Anthropomorphism – a four-letter word?
Anthropomorphism – a four-letter word?
Humanizing animals (or anthropomorphizing, in a word) may seem like the right thing to do. But unless we keep humans exceptional, what could happen?
Sure, calves are cute. Cows can be nice. And bulls might turn downright mean. But we should not begin treating them like humans.
Last week's Young Dairy Leaders Institute Class 7 learned more about the issue which is really an underlying goal of the animal rights movement. As we humanize animals, we don't elevate them to human status. Instead, we bring humans down to the animal status.
As we touched on last week in our blog about the book A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement, there are far larger games at stake than simply the way we talk about animals.
No sane person wants to injure an animal unless there is a justified benefit for all, and animals are used beyond companionship every day. Imagine a day with no animal research. How many lives would be lost without borrowing valves from pigs, testing vaccines, or testing current cancer treatments on animals? Animal products are used in a myriad of items; what would we lose due to a ban of all of them?
Remember to keep humans exceptional. Without knowing that our purpose is to care for animals while using them for human good, we slide down a slippery slope of pets being represented by lawyers and no legal beneficial use of animals whatsoever.

Goose Creek Post 166 coach Aaron Preston said the playoff opener wasn't the team's best game or its worst.
Goose Creek simply did enough and got plenty of help from Georgetown in an 11-9 victory on Monday at GCHS.
Post 166 scored six runs on a slew of walks and just one hit in the bottom of the first inning to build a sizable lead and held on to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.
"We only had eight hits," Preston said. "The majority of our runs came on all those walks and they had that one (drop). We need to swing the bat a little bit better and play even better defense (the rest of the series)."
Game 2 is set for Georgetown Tuesday night along with Game 4 on Thursday if necessary, while Goose Creek will host Game 3 on Wednesday and possibly Game 5.
Chris Zurcher, Davon Higgins and Bryce Singletary had two hits each for Post 166 (8-4).
Tyler Rio tossed five-plus innings to earn the win on the mound for Goose Creek. He gave up four earned runs. He also scored three runs.
Bryce Singletary finished it out for the save. Rio and Singletary combined to fan nine Georgetown hitters.
Ethan Wright took the loss for Georgetown, walking seven batters and recording just one out before reliever Kevin Kies entered. Wright allowed six earned runs.
Kies pitched until Tyler Bratcher took over in the bottom of the eighth. Kies allowed two earned runs over his six-plus innings of relief.
Higgins' RBI rope to left field off Kies was the only hit in Post 166's first-inning production. Zurcher's RBI double in the second gave Post 166 a 7-1 lead.
A shaky play by Georgetown centerfielder MA Nash in the bottom of the fifth enabled Goose Creek to further pad its cushion.
After Post 166 pushed its lead to 8-5 on an infield single by Rio, it later loaded the bases with two outs.
Nash dropped a line drive that would have been the final out, allowing the first two runners to score since they were already on the move anyway, and then threw the ball away to third base, enabling the other runner to cross the plate. The three unearned runs ended up being the difference in the game.
"That's the way the cookie crumbles," Georgetown coach Jason West said. "Some times you have nights like that." West's team continued to battle down the stretch, though.
A two-run single by Seth Wall in the sixth cut Post 166's advantage to 11-7, chasing Rio, and Riley Jordan made it 11-8 with a solo shot in the eighth. Daniel Jones added an RBI double with two outs in the ninth.
Wall, Ryan Holcombe, Justin Colgrove and Jordan Cantley each had two hits to power Georgetown at the plate.
Cody Thompson is set to take the mound in Game 2 for Georgetown while Michael Cedotal is projected to start for Goose Creek.

Looking for some Board Guidance
Hi Everyone,
2 month lurker/first time poster looking for a little guidance on buying a board. Sorry for all the info but thought it would be helpful for background and also to make sure I am spending my money the right way.
I am old-42 and am 6'2 about 185 or 190 lbs size 10 boots. I snowboarded a fair amount back in the late 90s for two years (could handle all NE groomed surfaces without issues and very comfortable cruising and carving hard at speed and doing some basic jumps and tricks) with my then girlfriend now wife. I have a lot of board experience-long time surfer and as a long time skier who did some recreational racing back in the mid eighties.
After a bad fall ( put in a sled down the hill after hitting my head on NE ice), work and twins fast forward to 2012. 6 year old twin boys went snowboarding for the first time loved it and my wife wants to do nothing but go snowboarding now. I spent two days getting reacquainted with my 1999 Burton Canyon 168 and then rode a Custom X in a 160 and a Flying V Custom in 158 from the Burton Store at Stratton. Both boards felt good to me-when I got going custom x felt really good but at slower speeds it did not feel as loose as the flying V. I have some concerns about edge hold with the flying V as it is sometimes less than perfect in Vermont.
Given that it looks like I will be spending a substantial amount of time snowboarding I figured it might be a good time to look at upgrading my gear. Unlike my wife who took off like a bat out of hell our first time back, my memory of my fall is keeping me back a bit and really am looking to get my confidence back on some more user friendly gear. I was having a ball and know that we have a lot of great times in front of us so it is just going to be a day or two more before I started pushing again.
Given that much of the next few years will be a few hours of free time to ride and a few hours with the kids where I will be with them each day, most likely going fairly slowly, I was thinking that some form of a twin or directional twin with rocker or a hybrid system would be easier to ride both as I re-develop but also when I am hanging and helping the kids along. Of the boards I have researched and from the store close by where I live further south in New England, they have been recommending the flying V custom, Joystick, Never Summer Proto, Never Summer Evo and the Arbor Element RX. I can get a really good deal on some of the leftover 2012s or even some lightly used 2013 stuff but want to get what is right vs what is available.
I would appreciate any input and guidance on what your recommendations might be and thanks in advance for the help.
Since you don't sound like a park guy I'd recommend the following from the burton line - I'm mid 40's same weight and shoe size as you, ride a lot with my kids who are 8 and 11 yrs old:
1) Custom X - high performance, great for charging hard, stiff cambered deck that will have good/best edge hold in ice. Reality check - you and your twin boys are probably going to be riding greens and blues for the next while so unless you can get out on your own a lot you won't have many chances to really open things up on this puppy, might be wasted potential, and maybe you're older and wiser now and don't plan on bombing hills like a madman anymore anyways.
2) Custom camber - a little softer, great all around board, camber shape will be good and grippy on ice. A little cheaper than the custom X too, might fit the bill without any wasted potential.
3) Custom flying V - all around board that will be more skatey and fun to ride, won't catch an edge as easily as camber. Might be a good choice for you, I ride a flying V board with my kids (Sherlock) so I can have fun working on tricks. You give up a little traction (not much) on ice.
4) Burton Antler - twin shaped flying V board with all the high tech in it, a little more fun oriented than the custom flying V. I demo'd one and really liked it, lightweight and really fun to ride. A little more expensive than the custom flying V, new board this year.
I wouldn't be too concerned about edge hold in the Flying V, it's gotten better in the last couple years and a lot of it is modifying your riding style.
Good luck, others here can comment on other manufacturers.
Since you aren't doing any sort of freestyle, you really don't need a twin unless you like to do some light freestyle or ride switch a ton.
The Burton Joystick is probably my favorite board from that brand. However, it's softer than the Custom and is a full rocker rather than a hybrid. It is a directional twin though. Very fun board to mess around on and still handles the steeper runs well. V-rocker is a pretty mellow rocker so it won't feel too loose.
If you want to look at the NS line, try and see if you can demo or get an SL.
Though the Proto CT is a twin, it will work great for your purposes so if you can get a deal on it, don't hesitate to grab it. Keep in mind that it has blunted tips. So the 157 will ride more like a longer board, but will give you the handling characteristics of a 57. Mid-flex, lively underfoot, and very snappy.
Cant go wrong with a custom, resale value is also nice too
Resell value? Maybe if you keep it in good condition, but I don't think OP is worried about that.
Where in my post did I say it doesn't have good resell value? In fact, you supported my "maybe if it's in good condition" with your comment... "light beating".
I was clarifying that the OP doesn't sound like he'll ever sell it.
You still didn't clarify why the Custom other than the resell value. You didn't even clarify which model of the Custom.
You just told him that he can't go wrong with the Custom. That sure sounds like a know-it-all to me.
Nah, you mistake simple man for a "Know it all"
When I say "Custom" I mean the custom, not the Custom X or the V but the basic but badass custom... Although I don't think it would hurt him with his abilities (he is use to riding a giant canyon on grooms) to ride any custom. Sorry for the confusion
My bad if you were not trying to sound like a know it all, I thought you sounded like one of those people who scoffs at anyone who might re-sale a board cause they got so much money.

In 2013, Zumyah Thorpe lost her pregnant mother and two younger sisters in a car accident after they were hit by a drunk driver. Though she survived, the 11-year-old suffered severe physical injuries as well as brain damage.
Throughout her recovery at the UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, nurses played Mars's hit songs every night, WKYC reports – and now Thorpe is living proof that music truly does have healing power.
"I am absolutely convinced that singing those Bruno Mars songs and being able to say 'Bruno Mars' is in itself a miracle … knowing all the words to the songs has helped her recover," her doctor, Nancy Bass, a pediatric neurologist, told the station. "I asked her who her favorite singer was and she said 'Bruno Mars' as quick as anyone would say any singer, and she just started singing every single word."
During the concert, Mars, 28, serenaded Thorpe – who grinned from ear to ear – with her favorite song, "Just the Way You Are." He also dedicated the concert to the brave little girl and gifted her his guitar and signature fedora.
"Zumyah tonight you gave my band and I something we've never felt before. you're an inspiration to the world! #WeLoveYouZumyah," Mars captioned a sweet Instagram photo of him kissing Thorpe on the cheek after the show.

Avio Aero, a GE Aviation business, says its new 2,400-square-meter facility in Cameri, Italy will have the capacity for 60 machines making metal production parts through additive manufacturing. Filling that capacity would make this facility the largest additive metal manufacturing plant in the world. The video above describes the facility, as well as the advantage GE Aviation sees in additive production—advantages that include significant savings in time, material, energy, emissions and part weight. As the video shows, additive manufacturing allows what was once would have been an assembly of five pieces to be replaced by a single intricate component grown in an additive cycle.

Why doesn't anyone know about King of Hell...IT'S A FREAKING AWESOME MANGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!<its gotta be good for that many !'s O.oIf you haven't read it then go out and read it before you explode from lacking in vitamin GM (godly manga). =.=If you have then post about it and get thes....people.....to read the greatest manga in the world. ^^
i haven't heard of this, i'll have to check it out "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
iv never saw it before
King of Hell is truly a unbelievable manga if you haven't heard of it your living in the dark and their is another out there if you like this one thats called Blade of Heaven which is on par with King of Hell. I don't like spending money on manga books , but i intend on buying the whole series of both of these titles
Guess ill have to look into that one. " See me, I might be bleeding, but im still breathing, You might hate me, but you cant break me. Push me, and ill push you right back.."
That's probably becasue I hate to read. I only read my college text books and I only read them becasue I had to.
Ive been reading King of Hell for afewmonths now and I think its freakin sweet. Im only on the 18th book so im not that far into it
