Good shoe for the price. Pretty comfortable and pretty good fit for someone with wide feet.
Product Rating
The etnies Highlight was designed to be an incredibly lightweight and comfortable shoe without a rubber outsole. Instead, we packed it chock-full of STI Evolutuion Foam in the footbed, midsole and outsole. As if that weren't enough cushioning, it also boasts an STI Foam Lite 1 footbed. The one-piece toe features a silicone-backed Ollie area for durability and the TPR heel wrap system and inner b-ootie offer extra comfort and support, and the moisture-wicking lining helps keep your feet dry.

Super comfy , nice board feel but the grip isn't the best.
I have had three pairs of these shoes, and they are the best things i have ever bought. Fit great,feel great and the board feel is unreal. Highly recommend.
Maximum comfort and boardfeel, don't blow out fast which is nice.
Satisfaite du produit, livraison rapide, je recommande ce site. Merci … l''quipe Brigitte
These shoes are so freaking awesome but too expencive ive had them a little over a month and they havent got even a hole!!!!!
really great shoes, comfty, light, a little too big cause they where a present, but awsome shoes
new fav until the es edgar comes back. seriously the lightest shoe ive skated, and one of the most durable. ive had em for like 3 1/2 weeks now and for me that's pretty much the end of the line for a shoe. they barely just got a small hole yesterday. for some reason that foam is way better. ill be honest it feels different at first cause it doesn't grip like rubber but either stick it out or switch to mob and itll feel the exact same as rubber grip. plus it just feels comfortable as hell, more like part of the foot than on. just buy it.
I literally took these out of the box and went skating right there. A LOT lighter than I expected them to be. So comfortable, stylish, and functional. Buy them right now!!!
really great shoe , looks are deceiving. although some compare it to the looks of a nike runner , this is truly a thoro-bread skate shoe .
this shoe is nutso right outta the box!

Tip of the Week
A new school year has started and as many parents know, kids are likely to bring home more than their homework at some point. Many catch cold and flu viruses from their classmates, which can then spread to other family members at home.
Follow these simple steps to help prevent the spread of germs that can cause cold and flu viruses this school year:
Get vaccinated: Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in flu prevention. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each year to protect against the flu virus.
Stay home when sick: If possible, keep kids home from school when they are sick to help prevent teachers and classmates from catching their illness.
Sing and scrub: Make sure kids wash their hands the right way. They should wash frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice).
Do the elbow cough: Teach kids to cough into elbows, not hands, since hands are more likely to spread bacteria and viruses through touch.
Disinfect germ hot spots: The CDC recommends disinfecting frequently touched surfaces or objects when someone is ill. In the classroom, teachers can use a disinfectant approved to kill cold and flu viruses on desks, computer mice and doorknobs.

The Stetson women's soccer team returns home for its final two games of the season this weekend. The Hatters will host Mercer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night, and then welcome Kennesaw State to town for Senior Day on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
Mercer comes to DeLand riding a three game winning streak and hasn't lost a match since falling to Georgia State on the road by a score of 1-0 back on September 7. The Bears are 11-3-3 overall, and an undefeated 5-0-2 in the A-Sun, but are only 4-3-2 on the road in 2012. Lauren Gassie leads Mercer with six goals and six assists for 18 points this season, while Tess Patton has added six goals and one assist.
Kennesaw State will challenge Stetson after playing at FGCU on Friday. The Owls are in the midst of a five game winning streak and are an astounding 4-0-0 in road contests this season. Katrina Frost and Danielle Gray have recorded nine goals and three assists, and eight goals and three assists to lead KSU in 2012, respectively.
Stetson holds a slight 7-6-2 advantage in the all-time series against Mercer, which dates back to 1993 when the Bears won 9-1 in Macon. Last season the two teams tied 2-2 and Mercer hasn't won in the rivalry since 2008. Kennesaw State, meanwhile, owns a 4-2-1 advantage over SU in the all-time series, dating back to a 4-1 Owl victory in 2003. Last year KSU won 2-0 in Kennesaw.
Don't forget that Sunday is Senior Day for the Hatters. Stetson will be celebrating the careers of senior Kaisi Hartwick and redshirt junior Kristen Mueller prior to the game against Kennesaw State.
As always fans unable to make it out to this weekend's games can follow @StetsonWSoccer on Twitter for in-game updates, track the Live Stats on GoHatters.com, or watch the matches on HatterVision.
New this week for Stetson fans is the introduction of "Hat-Alerts." The Stetson University Department of Athletics has teamed up with TextCaster to launch a new text messaging communications service for its fans.
A new way for fans to get immediate updates on their favorite Hatter teams, Hat-Alerts is a free service that sends text messages right to people's cell phones. Hat-Alerts will broadcast score updates, athletics news, ticket information, promotions, and even weather delays.
For soccer fans, subscribers can choose either "scores" (scores sent at halftime and final), and/or "news" (previews, recaps, and other soccer news).

The former Books-a-Million store in West Ashley will soon turn the page on its vacancy for most of this year.
Irving, Texas-based Michaels craft store plans to take over the roughly 20,000-square-foot building, according to property owner Steve Varn.
The shop at Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Orleans Road beside Best Buy housed the bookstore until February, when it closed.
The craft store should open by March. Refurbishment of the free-standing building will start soon.
Varn called the opening "a good sign for retail" in an area that has been smarting from the troubles at Citadel Mall and a rash of other closings.
Michaels has other stores in the area in North Charleston and Mount Pleasant.
Hatching soon
Another Broken Egg Cafe will make its South Carolina debut on Sept. 30 with its grand opening on 99 S. Market St., former site of Barbara Jean's. The comfort food and breakfast chain managed by Double R Restaurant Group is primarily concentrated in the Southeast, with 30 locations nationwide.
Patrons can try it before its official opening during a three-day preview and fundraising event. Breakfast and comfort food will be served 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday.
Though you won't be billed for the meal, those who dine on Thursday are asked to make donations to the Charleston Library Society, Friday diners should donate to the Charleston Parks Conservancy and Saturday diners to Crisis Ministries. The menu features more than 60 breakfast and lunch items, most of which are priced between $8 and $15.
Here's the rub
Massage Envy has leased a 1,298-square-foot shop at 1948 Long Grove Drive, Suite 2, in Seaside Farms in Mount Pleasant, according to The Beach Company-Beach Commercial real estate.
Fresh brew
Another brewery is headed to North Charleston.
Freehouse Brewery is looking to open this fall at 2895 Pringle St. off Azalea Drive in North Charleston.
It takes its name from owner Arthur Lucas' time in the United Kingdom, when some pubs called free houses could sell what they wanted while others owned by large breweries had to meet a sales quota of their owner's beer and offered a limited selection.
Freehouse will join several other coastal brewers, including Coast, Westbrook, Holy City, Palmetto, Frothy Beard and the still-formulating Olde Charlestowne Brewing Co. headed for West Ashley.
Piece of pie
DeSano's Pizzeria is open at 94 Stuart St. on the Charleston peninsula. It's close to Taco Boy.
Warren L. Wise can be reached at 937-5524.

How to Pick a Good Point and Shoot

Hola world. I'm Scott and I've been helping to develop some of the pieces for 10. This is my first 'on screen' appearance though and I hope you find something you like here.
The basis of the piece was really straight forward. I wanted to go shopping for a point and shoot camera with someone who could help me evaluate what I would find. I've wanted a new camera since last Christmas' blurry mementos and knew I could use some help. So, with a hidden camera, a guy who should know and a too cheap microphone, I went out and got one. And to the Tina and Laura fanboys – relax, they'll be back tomorrow.
Oops, something didn't work.
what took you so long!!!!
Been thinking about picking up a point-n-shoot cam after picking up my Canon 8MP PowerShot Pro1... It's kinda too big for partying, but great for vacations and outings.
I'm not sure whether I really need 8+MP for the next Point-n-shoot i buy...
Scott, how happy are you with your cam, now that you've played with it a bit? Post some photos or something... lol
the audio on the ipod version is once again out of sync
Damn 1's and 0's getting in the way.
Y do you convert files for psp in two different formats? Sometimes AVC and sometimes MPEG4?
Also y don't you add a thumbnail file and put it in a zipped folder? When extracted we get MP_ROOT/100MNV01/*.mp4 + *.THM? So people just connect to usb and copy the extracted folder just like that to root of psp?
That would be easier and nice (with thumbnail.. umm.. Yea!)
Congrats on your new camera (good luck on expensing it!) . Did you consider putting up some side by side shots taken by low, medium and high end cameras and having your expert walk us through the differences. From a consumers perspective it would be nice to see if the difference in quality of the images would be clearly visible to an average user.
Also, what hapened to the weekly mash-up?
I played via iTunes internal video player. It downloaded as a podcast.
Interesting... the video that i have has an intro with tina and laura talking with scott. But the ipod version on the website starts in the car. 0_o
Only wish they would have talked about optical zoom more...
Buying a digi camera can be quite a nightmare, so those tips will sure help whoever is after one. I´d also recommend reading as many reviews as possible. I was hoping you´d show "my" Sony T7 instead of the T5! It will be interesting to see how the Panasonic works out though.
BTW, I wasn´t expecting to see T&L (Tina´s cleavage is sooo distracting)
I've like the camera a lot and mainly for the reasons pointed out in the piece. It was actually adopted by the Ten team as our official in-house camera. Adam took over the keys but I'm not sure if he has any pictures he could post. Adam?
As for 8MP, I think that is likely overkill for a party point-and-shoot. You really only need that level of detail in a picture if you are planning to blow one up or want to be able to zoom in very close and crop.
For me, portability and the ability to handle motion in low light are the biggest things you are after for party shots.
Side by sides would be nice but it would also have required us to either buy every camera or bring our own memory card in. I was really after advice on how to evaluate a camera.
The market is changing all the time and I wanted to understand how I could come back in a year or two and bring some method to the evaluation process.
I've been in the market for a new all in one digital camera that will handle both the point and shoot as well as my professional needs for a while now. I've found its not an easy niche to satisfy. More often than not, its almost always better to buy different cameras for their specific fuctions.
Considering the rapidly growing market and steady stream of new models, I've constantly delayed my purchase, and after this segment I'm sorry to say no more certain than I was.
This was still a good segment and I recommend more like it, even if it lacks my lovely ladies.
Great Segment scott, Ive been looking for a quality camera for some time.
Yeah, I was wondering about last weeks round up video too, was checking for it all weekend.
Thanks Chris, I'm glad you liked it.
You might want to check out a web page created by a friend of mine. He is not a professional photographer, but if he wanted to accept a pay cut from his phat programming gig (not Microsoft phat, but still pretty phat) he could easily make the grade. He gives some great lucent commentary on photography in an easy to digest way. Check him out at:
Today's show is really cool. I had same questions when shopping for a digital camera and end up buying one I don't like...oh well...Got what I paid for.
I agree, ( not on the T&L , but the nightmare part Reading reviews can be a bit confusing though. It really come down to what you are looking after. Scott, it looks like a good pick, hope you enjoy it.
and a little info on the $$
I am shopping for one.
About 6 months ago, I bought the Olympus Stylus 600. Damn nice camera, small, decent pixel size. My main problem is the number of Scene Options. I never really know what Scene setting to choose when taking a pic. The default ones, like Indoors, Portrait, etc. never seem to reallt give me the result I want. Frequently, the shutter speed is on the slow side, and when I choose something like a Night setting, shutter speed is actually ridiculously slow. Choosing a fast shutter speed Scene setting (Sports, and such) always leave my shots under-exposed.
distracting? have ya ever seen cleavage before? oh man dude....thats just 2 funny! jus press yer thighs together...you would not leave yer comp chair lol 2 distracting. oh wait i need 2 make the little face... there ya go. nice.
I also want to have one,but I 'm so poor. why the world is so unequal??
Ummm... I´m having difficulty understanding that post, but anyways, yes, I have seen cleavage before (lol) but that doesn´t stop me from remarking on it.... and yes, it is distracting, but in a nice way. Good to see you find it funny.
Try not having what you want, but wanting what you have. I am a happy poor dude..la la la.....
Range 300$ top.
It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
What about us Tina and Laura fangirls!!
I love those girls!!
sorry about the typos
LOL - true true! I was being overly selective. How about 'fanpeople' or 'people of fan'? Your pick.
Excellent site! Thanks for the link. I especially liked the user reviews. An active community has formed there. I should also state for the record that I am a typo fan.

Just over a year ago, Teri Hatcher was feeling so desperate she curled up and cried on her kitchen floor. She had split from actor Jon Tenney after nine years, was worried about the challenge of being a single mom to young daughter Emerson and, at 38, was anxious that her career options were disappearing on the horizon of middle age. She hadn't taken a serious Hollywood acting gig since Lois & Clark ended in 1997 and, suddenly panicky over money, she was afraid of losing her home. "I was in some deeply, deeply sad places," says Hatcher. "I wanted something to be solid for Emerson. When I was crying there, I was feeling I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage for much longer – there was a lot of money that I'd had that I didn't have anymore. That was really a low point."
Today, the 40-year-old Hatcher has the take-charge confidence of a soccer mom behind the wheel of a new diesel station wagon. Accepting a Golden Globe Jan. 16, she referred to herself as a "has-been," but in the past tense: More than a decade after she became a star playing Lois Lane to Dean Cain's Superman, she's at a career pinnacle thanks to the ABC smash hit Desperate Housewives. For those who live in a complete cultural cul de sac, Housewives is about five women on a trim suburban street called Wisteria Lane, where suicide, murder, adultery, hit-and-run accidents, S&M, drug abuse and even rumors of infanticide are part of the land- scape. Yet the tone remains somehow cheerful, thanks in large part to Hatcher as Susan Mayer, a divorced mother gingerly falling in love (with a handsome but mysterious plumber) and trying, well, not to be as desperate as her neighbors. "She's a fresh face again," says series creator Marc Cherry, who says Hatcher "owned" the role the minute she auditioned in January 2004.

3-Pointers: East Liverpool 5 (Cunningham 4, Austin); Beaver Local 7 (Mick 3, Hilliard 2, Campbell, Hudson)
"In the fourth quarter, we had a lead, and we were able to run a minute-and-a-half off of the clock. We were able to hold onto the ball. I was happy with that. We did not have any turnovers."
The Potters slowly increased their lead throughout the third quarter.
"The shot really wasn't what hurt us," second-year Beaver Local head coach J.R. Walker said. "We have not come out strong out of the locker room after the intermission. We need to do a better job of coming out to the start the half. It is something we have talked about. It is something we need to try and correct."
Edgell was the lone Potter player to score in double digits. Edgell also ended up with nine steals in the game.
Also for East Liverpool, Sarah Morrell collected seven points and eight rebounds, Mary Davis scored five points to go along with grabbing seven rebounds and Jamie Neville also tallied five points.
Finally, Kiara Cowart contributed four points and 17 rebounds, Candace Holmes chipped in with two points and Chelsea Possage scored one point.
"It was a big win for us," Dingey said. "All of the kids know each other. It gave us bragging rights. We beat Beaver Local twice. We beat Oak Glen twice. We beat Wellsville twice. We have local bragging rights."
No player reached double digits in scoring for the Beavers.
Individually, Courtney Ricciardi recorded a team-high seven points, Danna Talbott tallied six points and Jade Favre finished with five points.
Also, Haleigh Ketchum, Sierra Wright and Maranda Kiddey all delivered three points, Sam Bishop scored two points and Allison Kennedy added one.
The Beavers led 6-2 early in the game as Wright and Favre hit shots from beyond the arc. The Potters battled back to take a 9-8 lead at the end of the quarter.
In the second stanza, back-to-back buckets by the Beavers tied the score at 12, and later a bucket by Ketchum put the hosts out in front 15-14. Then, Edgell scored to put the Potters up 16-15, and East Liverpool remained out in front the rest of the way.
"We played a great first half," Walker said. "We played right with them. We rebounded the ball. We battled. We have got six girls out, and the game got away from us in the second half. We just couldn't sustain the intensity."
Beaver Local scored to start the third quarter, but five-straight points by East Liverpool pushed their lead to 24-17. The Potters led 32-19 entering the fourth quarter.
In the fourth, a basket by Talbott pulled the Beavers to within nine points at 36-27, but that was as close as Beaver Local managed to get in the game. The Potters ended the game on a 12-3 spurt to account for the final margin of victory.
East Liverpool's next game is Thursday night at Brooke in an OVAC Tournament pool play game. Beaver Local plays Thursday against Austintown Fitch.
Beaver Local's four senior girls were honored between games.
"Those girls are the backbone of our team right now," Walker said. "They are four quality kids."
In the boys' game, East Liverpool jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but the Potters were forced to hold off the Beavers from that point.
Beaver Local cut its deficit to one point multiple times, but the Beavers were unable to get over the hump.
"You want to win at home and steal games on the road," East Liverpool point guard D.J. Austin said. "It is the little things that make difference, things like getting on the floor and getting offensive rebounds."
Individually for the Potters, Austin Emmerling ended up with eight points, Austin netted seven points and Aaron Long finished with four points.
Also, Derek Thompson delivered three points, while Kade Reynolds and John Rickerd each recorded two points.
"That was a good game," East Liverpool head coach Nate Conley said. "We missed some foul shots, but it was a good game."
Troy Hudson netted a team-high 17 points to lead the way for the Beavers, while Chase Hilliard delivered 12 points.
Also, Zack Mick contributed nine points, Brandon Fetty tallied eight points and Ethan Campbell collected three points. Finally, Chandler Cornell recorded two points.
"It was a fun game," Beaver Local head coach Jake Walgate said. "It was definitely a good one. Both teams came out ready to play. Both teams got after it, and both teams left it all out on the floor."
East Liverpool scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters en route to taking a 42-40 lead into the fourth quarter. In the fourth, the Beavers pulled within a point on a couple of occasions, but they were never able to tie the game or take the lead.
The Potters led 14-11 after the first quarter, and they extended their lead to 28-23 at halftime.
Beaver Local's freshman boys' team will be playing in the AAC Championship game at 6:30 p.m. tonight at home against Howland. Beaver Local defeated Struthers on the road Monday night in the semifinals.
East Liverpool and Beaver Local will play a freshman and junior varsity doubleheader starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Beaver Dome.
Beaver Local's varsity teams plays Friday night at home against Howland on Senior Night.
East Liverpool's varsity team will take to the court Tuesday in an OVAC Tournament pool play game.

Medical Sabermetrics
Lou Piniella will resign after today's game vs Atlanta. His mother's health has not improved and instead of going the medical leave of absence route again, he's handing over the managerial chores to...THE FORMER IOWA CUB MANAGER... drumroll, please...[[[Mike Quade]]]. Pfffft.
There is a segment of the news reporters who actually cover medical meetings and try their hand at using medical lingo on their readers. I found this article online (and several other sources picked it up including the LA Times) but it originates from a news feed that the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine provided after their 2010 annual meeting from Providence, RI.
This is clearly an epidemiologic study. I'm thinking medical sabermetrics is a better term.
The study was based on data from MLB's disabled list published online data from 2002-2008, so it didn't really need a doctor to do this, it probably was done by a doctor who is a baseball junkie. Hmmm.
Dr. (and Major) Matthew Posner took the raw information and tabulated the frequency and distribution of injuries by anatomic site, position, AL vs NL and time of season (before or after the All-Star break). Nicely done. Clean and simple.
"Even though baseball is a passion of many people and our national pastime, there is very little information about the epidemiology, characteristics or distribution of injuries in Major League Baseball," said Maj., Matthew Posner, MD, orthopaedic surgeon at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas. "This study attempts to evaluate Major League injuries over the period of six years."
On to Dr. Posner's findings after the jump...
The raw data:
|•3,072 players were placed on the disabled list from the 2002 season through 2008, an average of 438.9 per year.
•The high during the period was 516 in 2008, and the low was 388 in 2005.
The major findings: Arms>Legs>Backs>Core (ribs/abdomenals)
|•51.4% of all injuries during the period were to the upper extremities.
|•30.6% were to lower extremities.
|•7.4% were back injuries.
|•4.3% were injuries to core muscles.
Next finding, pitchers are fragile: D'oh, but impressive considering there is an 8:1 ratio of fielders:pitchers during games. Of course some injuries don't happen during games (see Clint Barmes inury). I'd love to see stats for catchers or a breakdown of fielders who get injured batting or baserunning. The catcher data was apparently, not in the study. The batting/baserunning data would take a little more research outside of a DL list.
|•Pitchers spent a greater proportion of days on the disability list, 62.4%, compared to 37.6% for fielders.
The obvious is verified, but now it's quantified: Pitchers tend to hurt their arms!
|•Pitchers accounted for 67% of upper extremity injuries, compared to
fielders, who had more lower extremity injuries and injuries to other
|•Fielders had a greater proportion of lower extremity injures, 47.5% compared to 16.9% for pitchers.
NL vs AL: Identical patterns.
|•National League players injured their upper extremities 51.7 percent of
the time, lower extremities 30.7 percent and other anatomic regions 17.7
|•American League players injured their upper extremities 51.1 percent of
the time, lower extremities 30.5 percent and other anatomic regions 18.4
percent, according to the study.
Timing of Injury: Mostly before the All-Star Break (74.4%)
|•79% of shoulder and elbow injuries happened before the All-Star Break
|•74.8% of the other injuries (groin, hamstrings, quads, trunk/core)
before the A-S game.
|•Pitchers sustained 76.5% and fielders sustained 71.7% of their total respective injuries prior to the All-Star game.
I just might be crazy enough to build on Dr. Posner's work and do a Cub specific review of that readily available DL data (sounds like an off season project...although this entire season has been an off-season). That should be interesting in light of these published league norms to compare to.
I have followed Baseball Prospectus' Will Carroll epidemiologic (medical sabermetrics?) work. He gives out the now annual Dick Martin Award to the best team medical staff (last recipient was the Phillies, Cubs now in the top one-third!). In a previous TCR article, The Cubs Trainer vs. The Secretive Nature of the Industry, I detailed the Cubs head trainer (yes, he works on all body parts), Mark O'Neal in the context of the BP Dick Martin award. I also wrote about the 2010 Cubs in the context of Will Carroll's health report ratings and the data that he tracks, Running a Yellow Light.
Baseball prospectus posted an excellent chart for the 2009 season, days lost to injury (sabermetrically speaking, D-LOIN?) vs salary lost, as a percentage of total team payroll (S-LOIN?).
The award is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to quantitative measures such as days lost to the DL, dollars lost to the DL, percentage of payroll lost to the DL, and year-over-year improvements and trends regarding these numbers.
Here's BP's charts for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The Cubs were in the bottom half back then. It was in the black hole center of the Wood/Prior days.
Maybe that's one more thing Tom Ricketts should put on Ari Kaplan's To-Do list (Ricketts hired Kaplan as Cub manager of statistical analysis this past June).
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
So long Lou todays game is his last
Mike Quade your up next.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
here's the mlb.com link, note it's not Carrie Muskat writing. It seems Lou's mom is very ill, if it's related to the other LOA.
As many know, the several weeks since that announcement was made have been very difficult on a family level, requiring two leaves of absence from the club. While I fully intended to manage this club the rest of the season, a family situation at home now requires my full attention."
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I don't want to sound insensitive...I wish the best for his mom...but this is a great excuse for Lou to leave. No admittance of failure or exhaustion or complete and utter apathy. Good riddance to Lou and good health to his mom.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I can't wait for Quade's first shitty lineup.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I can't wait for
2011 2012
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Poor Lou. First he sat by watching his team die. Then he sat through watching his career die. Now he's heading home to watch his mother die. Rough year.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
lou quits on a team...what's new.
hope his ma pulls though, though...it's been a rough year from his family to his job and probably points in between, too.
im sure he'd rather not go out like this...i think.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Pinella's last lineup ... leadoff hitter's OBP is the same as the pitcher's. Good times. Gonna miss you, buddy.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Hendry on why Quade. Trammell out as managerial candidate...and some coaching moving chairs.
General manager Jim Hendry chose Quade over bench coach Alan Trammell, who had been serving as acting manager during several Piniella absences this summer, because he will not consider Trammell to be Piniella's permanent replacement. Hendry said Quade will be a candidate.
``I made the decision [Saturday],'' Hendry said of selecting Quade. ``He's been with us quite a while. He has experience and knows our [young] players. I feel he'll be good at it.''
Hendry said the rest of the coaching staff will remain intact through this season with first base coach Ivan DeJesus moving to third base coaching duties. Trammell, who managed the Detroit Tigers, will remain as bench coach as well. A roving minor league instructor will be added to the staff to fill Quade's coaching vacancy.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Mike Quade is just a bald Bruce Kimm.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
He's always looked sort of like Tooter Turtle to me.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
"A roving minor league instructor will be added to the staff to fill Quade's coaching vacancy."
Things that make you say, hmmmm.
Roving instructors. The cubs currently have three (info courtesy of Az Phil, see link)
1) Marty Pevey, roving catching instructor
2) Franklin Font - Roving Infield & Bunting Instructor
3) Bob Dernier, roving OF and Baserunning instructor...and half of the 1984 "Daily Double"
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
dernier deserves it, imo...his work is a couple weeks from being over anyway.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Hendry interviewed by Len/Bob on telecast. (not quotes)
Hendry watched Lou play HS basketball when JH was 6 yrs old.
Len: What legacy does JH: Lou leave? JH: 2007 season was really good and we had the best team in 2008. It's a good year if we get in to the playoffs and not if we don't.
BB: Lou helped raise the expectations of the fans/club to get into the playoffs.
Len asked JH to comment on the DLee era. JH: DLee wanted to be in the lineup every day. Old school, great guy
Len asked about Quade. JH: We're not looking at this just to play it out. Randy Bush and I have alot to learn about this club. Trammell because he wasn't being tabbed to interim manage, to be fair to him, was told he's not a candidate to manage next year.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Us to JH: Have you freshened up your resume? Where's your key for the executive bathroom?
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Free Bobby Scales?
Iowa has 2.5 game lead
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
mike minor with 9Ks through 3.1ip
fuck this team.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
though absolutely unrelated i think this sums up this season in a nutshell...somehow...maybe not.
...also, minor with 12Ks through 6ip and he's most likely done
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
At first, I couldn't understand what that video would have to do with the Cubs' season. After watching, it's clearly an appropriate metaphor.
Starlin Castro is the guy with the baby blue Stratocaster.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Minor holding the Cubs down isn't a surprise. It seems that anytime we see a pitcher for the first time, they shut us down, especially lefties, for some reason. That was going on all the way back when Dusty was the manager. At least the team doesn't want to shock Lou into a heart attack and do something different on his last day.
Re: fuck this team
you need rest
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
i need lots of things
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Streaky and Freaky.
Aram with two hits (and 4 multi-hit games in a row) has upped his batting average to .242, with Soriano at .258 I'm thinkin' that Ramirez will wind up with a higher BA than Sori.
Ugly season. Some stats just don't tell the real story.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
holy crap this team is fundamentally mindcrapping all over the place.
no amount of extra fielding practice, laps, or benching can teach someone something they've known since highschool. ugggg....
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Soriano ran in for that ball like his feet were in cement, which isn't a bad idea. Time to take him fishing on Lake Michigan.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
It's 13-3 and the Cubs are playing the infield in.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Soriano's stone glove drops another two out fly ball (Alex Gonzalez) in a diving attempt, then Cubbery salute's the Lou Piniella era when they get the hitter/runner (Alex Gonzalez) in a pickle between 1st and 2nd, while the runner at 3rd (Melky Cabrera) cruises home for the third run on the play. 9-3 Bravos.
Koyie Hill approves.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
The organist should play the Benny Hill music anytime the ball is hit in play.
Watching the replay on DLee's first "hit" as a Brave, I really think ARam gave him a gift and over acted.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
2010 cubs bullpen...
best bullpen in baseball...or best bullpen ever?
dlee with a 3 run double...13-3...enjoy your retirement, lou...here's your parting gift.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
and Soriano taking knucklehead pills, instead of fearing the OF wall, he's developed a fear of crashing into Starlin Castro
...then DLee hits a 3 run double to the LF corner and Brenly criticizes ARam for failing to get in front of a ground ball again (DLee's double), as he plays another one off to the side. 14-3. Cubs really showing their appreciation for Lou's talents this season.
...and Jeff Stevens picks up a save for Iowa on a pop fly to Bobby Scales. Iowa 3-2 over Nashville.
Jay Jackson 5IP, 6H, 2R, 6K's, 1BB, 1HR and a win (10-8)
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
imo, castro needs to learn how/where to field his position. i've seen him interfere with too many plays in the OF, both LF and CF. it's getting stupid and dangerous.
he's a young kid and all, but between that and the "i can get everyone out" ill-advised throws he should just hold onto...it's getting hard to watch.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
That brenley comment about aram was awesome.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
go draft choice!
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
The timing of injury stat in this article is flawed. 74.4% of injuries happen before the All-Star break, according to the study. But it's likely not taking into account that players are rarely, if ever, placed on the DL in September due to the expanded rosters.
So the first half of the season encompasses April, May, June, and 1-2 weeks of July, while after the break only includes 2-3 weeks of July and all of August. That's almost 3:1 ratio. Then figure in that players placed on the DL in Spring Training who miss regular season time is most likely included in the stat, and it's just out of whack.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
The timing of injury stat in this article is flawed
agreed Paul.
...and of course the All-Star break isn't at game 81; so it's really a poor way to divide the season into halves. Still it's a start and was obviously a no-brainer of a project considering it didn't take much of a database to analyze . Also, who knows how much of a baseball fan the author is. I'm sure he started in 2002 only because the website data he used happened to start there and the website data might have used the All-Star break as a dividing line. I doubt he looked up when the All-Star break actually was.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Cody Ross to Giants on a waiver claim award
Strasburg to see Dr. Andrews (per a Will Carroll tweet, which I can't seem to find)
Jason Heyward starts and ends Lou's season with HR's and 16-5 losses to the Braves.
Bob Brenly says the food will taste just a little better tomorrow for Lou.
Randy Wells with 5 straight losses.
and Starlin Castro gets his 4th hit, three 4 hit games; 2 doubles, 2 singles and a K (now at .316)
WSux lose in 10 to KC (and drop 2-3 of that series keeping their series loss streak intact at 5), 3-2. good ol' Scott Linebrink. Twins vs Rob's Angelfan wife's team is the Sunday night game.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
surprised cody didn't go before the deadline...yanks supposedly wanted him badly before they snagged berkman.
he's one of my all-time favorite midget power hitters. shame his knees were so balky early in his career.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
lou so didn't wanna go out like this...
it's not an epic post-game, but lou's walking away from something he's devoted his whole life to.
okay, he's crying now.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
It's sad he's ending his almost 50 year major league career on this note. I feel for him, even though I wasn't thrilled about his managing job this season. But I will add that Hendry gave him a poor roster, and the players played like crap.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
yeah, this isn't how he envisioned ending his career i'd imagine.
it's not like he went down in disgrace, but it's been his life.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Zambrano being classless to the end (or smart enough not to get suckered into saying something questionable?):
"Pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who was sent home after a dugout tirade by Piniella and was later suspended, refused comment (on Lou's retirement)."
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
maybe he's got his reasons...heh...
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Maybe he knows how to make up a lineup card.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Ouch! Hahaha.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Randy Wells sucks ass.
I was hopeful, at the VERY LEAST, he could have had the arrow going in the up direction after last year.
But no.
He sucks. Along with the entire bullpen except for two people.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Last year Wells was incredibly lucky. This year, he's been pretty unlucky. I'm sure next year you'll feel better about him again.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Is it possible to give Hendry's mother whatever's Lou's mom has so we can be rid of him this week too?
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
That isn't funny whether I like Hendry or not.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Go rent the movie, "Big Fan", and remind yourself over and over again if need be that this is just a game and it's ultimately meaningless.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
You mean, make Hendry's mother 90? Because that's what is ailing Lou's mom. I am pretty sure there is no cure for that.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Dying family members! Hahaha... what a riot.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
So, umm... you're kind of an asshole.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I take it as a try for humor that went way flat. Bad taste, but no serious ill intent.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
That's where I'm at. Let's not mob the dude...insenstive joke, doesn't make him a horrible person.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Defense matters, it seems.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Someone alert the media! Quickly!
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
it doesn't help winning when k.hill's skills have declined to the point he no longer adds significant mph to a pitcher's fastball when he catches.
the past few months he's only good for 1mph more...2mph on a good day.
defense is overrated. proper backup catching is the cornerstone of the game.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
awesome monday morning lolz
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Death by Cubbery.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Good post btw Dr. Hecht. I actually have the Cubs injuries broken down somewhat between 2002-2008 if it helps your future study.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Yes, nice post, Doc.
Anyone think Bobby Scales gets a September call up? I'd like to see him come up just to reward him with a month of major league salary. I like underdogs who hang around the minors that long.
I'd also like to hear from Mike Wellman on how Marquez Smith looks at 3b. His minor league fielding stats look so-so, but he is having a nice year with the bat at Iowa. But he is only listed at 5' 10", the same height the Cubs have both Darwin Barney and Sam Fuld listed at. LOL. Smith probably isn't going to develop into a consistent power threat given his size unless he starts taking some shots.

Anyone think Bobby Scales gets a September call up? I'd like to see him come up just to reward him with a month of major league salary. I like underdogs who hang around the minors that long.
I'd also like to hear from Mike Wellman on how Marquez Smith looks at 3b. His minor league fielding stats look so-so, but he is having a nice year with the bat at Iowa. But he is only listed at 5' 10", the same height the Cubs have both Darwin Barney and Sam Fuld listed at. LOL. Smith probably isn't going to develop into a consistent power threat given his size unless he starts taking some shots.
PAUL: I'll let Mike W. comment on how Marquez Smith has looked at 3B since his arrival at Iowa, but from from having seen him in Minor League Camp over the past few seasons, I would say he is on a par defensively with Aramis Ramirez at 3B, meaning he is passable as long as he is productive at the plate. He is a better fielder than he is a thrower (he has a bit of a scatter-gun arm), so he has been tried at 2B, but he's kind of stiff there. He is a natural 3B.
Smith has been a consistent 15-18 HR a year guy throughout his minor league career, and I think he could very reasonably do that in the big leagues, too. He has a stocky but powerful build, and while he won't lead the league in HR, he is fully capable of hitting the long ball fairly often.
I would compare his offensive potential to one-time Cub 3B Steve Ontiveros, or more-recent MLB 3B like Joe Randa, Shea Hillenbrand, David Bell, or Jeff Cirillo, sort of the protypical #6 hitter.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Thanks, AZ.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Most of those guys, Ontiveros with the Cubs a notable exception, were very good defenders. If you're going to hit 15-18 HR's at the hot corner, you better be one helluva defender - particuarly for the Cubs.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
My first thought after seeing him in person was, with an ass that big major league hitters are going to be bunting every at bat. He'll be worn out by the 3rd inning.
He's got some junk in the trunk.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Luckily major league hitters no longer know how to bunt.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
That's just Cubs players, not all major leaguers. We also don't field, throw, catch, run, or hit well. And that's just the position players

Top 5 Managers in Cubs History
1) Frank Chance
1907. 1908. "The Peerless Leader."
2) Charlie Grimm
Won three pennants, including the miraculous 1935 team that won 21 in a row in September
3) Joe McCarthy
Greatest manager in the history of baseball but only No. 3 on the Cubs list. No matter where he managed, his teams scored a bazillion runs.
4) Frank Selee
Managed from 1903-1905. It's believed he oversaw the development of Tinker to Evers to Chance as well as Three-Finger Brown. Had to quit due to health reasons, or he might have won the championships that Chance won.
5) Lou Piniella
97 wins in 2008 was the most for a Cubs team since 1945. He and Chance are the only managers in Cubs history to take the team to the postseason in consecutive years. In his way, he got the Cubs to grasp the concept of OBP.
Honorable mention: Durocher (why didn't they seriously contend after 1969?), Frey (wasn't here very long), Dusty (clogging the list), Zimmer (he won a division, but I've never heard anybody explain what he had to do with it), Hartnett (was a player-manager when he hit the Homer in the Gloamin'), Riggleman (don't laugh -- look at Treblehorn did in 1994 and then look at what Riggs did with the same players in 1995 and tell me that he didn't know what he was doing).
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I'm just going to nitpick on the comment about Durocher -- and it all depends on how you define "seriously contend". I thought the 1970 Cubs were a "serious contender" -- spent from Sept. 1-20 from 0.5 - 2.0 game out of first and ended up in 2nd place only 5 games out. Disappointing, sure, but were in the race all the way until the last week of the season.
That's all -- no big deal.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Cubs 2010 2nd round draft pick RF Reggie Golden will miss the rest of the AZL season with a sore hand. He is expected to be able to participate in the AZ Instructional League next month.
Also, Cubs 2009 7th round draft pick OF Blair Springfield (hitting just 169/296/253 in 25 games with AZL Cubs after going 145/202/145 in 27 games at EXST April-May) will miss the rest of the AZL season with a strained oblique. He will not be able to participate in the AZ Instructional League. After he is cleared for physical activity, he will be going on a strength & conditioning program during the off-season. (Springfield has HR power in BP, but he has to start showing it in games)
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
Several of the Cubs top pitching prospects received promotions Sunday:
24-year old RHP Chris Carpenter (8-6 - 3.16 ERA - 1.39 WHIP - 119.2 IP - 118 H - 5 HR - 48/100 BB/K at Tennessee) from Tennessee to Iowa
21-year old RHP Trey McNutt (10-0 - 1.97 ERA - 1.04 WHIP - 100.2 IP - 72 H - 3 HR - 33/119 BB/K combined at Peoria & Daytona) from Daytona to Tennessee
20-year old RHP Nick Struck (8-8 - 3.22 ERA - 1.16 WHIP - 114.2 IP - 93 H - 7 HR - 40/84 BB/K at Peoria) from Peoria to Daytona
20-year old LHP Austin Kirk (4-5 - 3.31 ERA - 1.22 WHIP - 51.2 IP - 51 H - 6 HR - 12/48 BB/K at Boise) from Boise to Peoria
McNutt is 2nd among Cubs minor league pitchers in strikeouts with 119, trailing only 21-year old RHP Chris Archer (15-2 - 2.24 ERA - 1.16 WHIP - 128.1 IP - 90 H - 6 HR - 59/134 BB/K combined at Daytona and Tennesee).
One of the pitchers the Cubs acquired from CLE for Mark DeRosa last year, Archer is a lock to get added to the Cubs 40-man roster post-2010, and will battle McNutt for the Cubs 2010 Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award. (OF Brett Jackson will likely get the Cubs 2010 Minor League Player of the Year Award).
Also, RHP Esmailin Caridad (on the Cubs 15-day DL with a sprained elbow ligament since May) has had his minor league rehab moved from from AZL Cubs (Mesa) to Tennessee, as he is apparently on target to rejoin the Cubs on September 1st.
And RHP Tarlandus Mitchell (groin strain) has (apparently) completed his rehab at AZL Cubs and should be able to rejoin Boise whenever the Cubs can make room for him there. He had a strong outing versus the AZL Giants Saturday night in Scottsdale.

Re: Medical Sabermetrics
the best #8 hitter in the game returns to his rightful place to set up the pitcher to knock him in.
are we sure lou's left yet?
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
But notice, Soriano is no longer a fixture at #6. tonite's leadoff man has an OBP close to the number of days in a year and Colvin is not playing first base as earlier threatened.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
There may be a little bit of "respect there" but I suspect that Soto is batting 8th because he hasn't faced live ML pitching in two weeks.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
respect is one of the last words i'd use to keep batting soto so far down in the lineup when he's been the only consistent hitter on the team...well, he had a sketchy may.
a .900+ OPS don't get you the respect it used to.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
I mean respect to the outgoing manager.
Re: Medical Sabermetrics
shame lou had to go out like he did, but that soto handling was weird for too long...not gonna get into that 3/4 slot hitting.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
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.

at Mohawk
Records: Hopewell-Loudon 3-2, 2-0; Mohawk 2-3, 1-1 MAL.
Coaches: Jeremy Nutter, Hopewell-Loudon; Erik Baker, Mohawk.
Last year: Hopewell Loudon 44, Mohawk 12
Outlook: Baker's team did just about everything right last week in a blowout win of North Baltimore. Its defense allowed the Tigers just eight points.
If the Warriors are hoping for another big week on that side of the ball, Baker said they have to do one thing: Control Mark Bouillon.
Bouillon is averaging more than 112 yards rushing so far, but Baker said that doesn't tell the whole story of his value to the Chieftains.
"Defensively it's making sure you're lined up to their various formations, and find No. 80," Baker said, referring to Bouillon. "Whether it's an empty running jet sweep, or a tailback, or one back gun, or in their wildcat set, 80 is the key."
Nutter was asked what makes Bouillon, who also has 14 catches for 162, special as a player.
"Mark Bouillon is a selfless kid," Nutter said. "He's dedicated himself in weight room, done exactly what we asked him to do. I can't ask for anything better to coach, a better role model for the young (guys)."
But if Baker's impressed with Bouillon, Mohawk quarterback Drew Loose has Nutter's attention.
"He's a quarterback anybody would die to have," Nutter said. "He's a dynamic player. We're gonna have to tackle well and play great defense, not good defense."
Loose threw for 239 yards and five touchdowns last week against North Baltimore. He also ran for 112 yards and another TD.
Baker said against H-L, Mohawk will have to keep Loose protected.
"They're a solid 4-4 with a little more blitzing this year," Baker said of the Chieftains' defense. "We fully expect them to load the box and see how we effectively counter that with our offense.
"We've got to be able to protect our quarterback and take advantage of what they present us."
Hopewell-Loudon defeated Lakota, 25-14, last week. Nutter said if the Chieftains want to remain unbeaten in the MAL, they need to follow what he said is an easy formula.
"We have to quit turning the football over, quit making penalties," Nutter said. "If we don't, Mohawk will beat us."
Buckeye Central
at Upper Sandusky
Records: Buckeye Central, 1-4; Upper Sandusky 3-2.
Coaches: Jason Ratliff, Buckeye Central; Jake Moyer, Upper Sandusky.
Last year: Buckeye Central rolled the Rams, 27-7.
Outlook: If there is one thing that plays to the Rams' favor, it's that they've seen three spread teams already this year, including Wynford, which might most closely resemble Upper Sandusky in terms of personnel.
"It's easier for our kids to understand the concept," Ratliff said. "They have a nice spread offense and the QB is a lot better from last year and he's a good runner. He runs the offense really well."
Tylor Pritchard has rushed for 478 yards and seven scores while throwing for another 618 and five more touchdowns.
Moyer said BC brings a stout offensive challenge as well in Michael Adkins, who has 634 yards rushing (fourth in the NCC) and eight touchdowns.
"They do have a good running back and he's a tough, tough runner," Moyer said. "Even though they lost a lot of kids off their offensive line, they're blocking pretty well. They're much more of a running team than they were last year."
And that plays to the Rams' favor in Moyer's opinion.
"I think we're pretty decent (against the run)," Moyer said. "I think we came of age last week against a good Ontario team and defensive line played very well. So hopefully there's a carryover."
It's the play of the lines that concerns Ratliff the most.
"They were very young last year and they have a lot of kids back with a lot of experience and they're very physical and get after you on both sides of the football," he said. "One of the things that impressed me is their offensive and defensive lines. They really get after it and they're a really physical team."
Moyer said his team can't have any more letdowns going forward.
"We better be ready because it's our homecoming and we don't want to be embarrassed at our homecoming," Moyer said. "We need that self confidence and we're starting to see some of that self confidence."
Seneca East
at North Baltimore
Records: Seneca East, 3-2, 0-2; North Baltimore, 1-4, 0-2.
Coaches: Ed Phillips, Seneca East; Dino Woodruff, North Baltimore.
Last year: Seneca East cruised past the Tigers, 41-6.
Outlook: It would be easy to get hung up on the last two weeks: close losses to St. Joseph and Calvert.
"They're carbon copies of one another. We played really well at times against two really good football teams," Phillips said. "But when it's all said and done, they made the plays they had to to win. Are we frustrated? Yes, we're a couple plays away from being 5-0. If we make a couple plays, we're at the other end of the stick."
But he said it's important that these two losses don't snowball into a big losing streak.
"I talked the kids on Monday about where we are and we've had the best two practices we've had all year," Phillips said. "When it's tough and you have adversity, you have to respond. After those two practices, I feel really good about our football team."
If Seneca East is going to stop the skid, they'll have to stop a whale of running back, Dalton Ishmael.
"He's been playing out there forever," Phillips said. "He's a good football player and they have some playmakers on their team."
Ishmael has rushed for 392 yards and five touchdowns on the season. But Phillips said it's more than Ishmael Seneca East have to worry about.
"We had the Hopewell-Loudon and Mohawk films and in the first quarter, they started fast against them," Phillips said of North Baltimore. "Their biggest problem is they lack depth. But they have some quality guys. We have to take care of the football and eliminate some basic mistakes and not putting us in a hole on first down."
at Fostoria
2012: Woodmore 2-3, 0-2; Fostoria, 0-5, 0-2.
Coaches: Britton Devier, Woodmore; Jim Kelly, Fostoria.
Last year: Fostoria, 37-16.
Outlook: They both come in seeking their first Northern Buckeye Conference win, but Fostoria enters missing more than a conference win.
Seniors Adonis Cousin and Keanu Crowe are both hobbled by injuries, leaving the Redmen linebacking corps without one starter (Cousin) for sure and possibly without both.
"I think Keanu's been averaging eight to 10 tackles a game and Adonis has been getting around 11, so that's 20 tackles we've got to be making up," Kelly said.
"That hurts, no doubt," he said.
Cousin's absence will also be felt on offense, though not as deeply. He and Dom Fuller have been splitting time at quarterback for the past couple weeks, giving a slowly improving FHS offense more options.
With Cousin's high ankle sprain keeping him out, Fuller will take over the QB duties with David Cook and junior varsity player Deandre Cannon backing him up.
But there is good news on the injury front for the Redmen, who get most of what had been a 14-man group of walking wounded back for Friday.
"This week we get guys back. Just having those guys with a full week of practice will be good," Kelly said.
"I think we feel good about our ability to get it going this week," he said.
Kelly said they'll need to also do that on defense because of what quarterback Jake Matweijczyk brings the Wildcats.
"Their quarterback is not a big kid, but he plays bigger. He runs the ball real well. That concerns us," he said. "They've got a nice group of receivers. They've been brought up in that system and they know it really well.
"That whole offense is a major concern," he said.
Fremont St. Joe
at Lakota
2012: Fremont St. Joe 4-1, 2-0; Lakota 2-3, 0-2.?
Coaches: Scott Knisely, St. Joe; Dave Vodika, Lakota.
L?ast year: St. Joe 44, Lakota 24.
O?utlook: The challenge is certainly easy to see.
The MAL's top team visits one still searching for a league win, and reversing that trend, even for an improving team, is far from easy.?I think we're moving in a good direction," Vodika said, "but we've got to keep looking at this as a Friday night, a fun opportunity, and [a] what do we have to lose [situation]? They're the front-runners and we're at the bottom, so we're going to try to play a little bit more loose and take some chances and do some things."
The danger, though, comes from St. Joe taking advantage of that approach.
Zack Yeckley leads the MAL with 1,290 yards passing and 15 TD tosses in only five games. Luke Stierwalt (28-450) and Jordan Sessler (27-399) lead the MAL in receptions, with Stierwalt having the most receiving yards. Also, Marcus Kerr averages 91.2 yards rushing per game.
That's good enough to have St. Joe atop the league standings in overall passing (258 ypg) and overall offense (397.4 ypg).
Even St. Joe's weakness is strong, Vodika said. The Crimson Streaks enter last in the league in rushing (139.4 ypg), but Vodika said the run game is far from inept and stopping any part of St. Joe's offense will be difficult.
"We're making a real effort to try to get as much speed as we have on the field. There's no secret there, they're going to get back and they're going to chuck it. But watching the Carey film, they can load it up and run, too," he said.
"They're clicking now. Offensively, they're moving the ball well. They beat two biggies, with Seneca East and Carey," Vodika said. "They've moved up to the front-runner right now, so I'm very impressed with their whole group; they're strong and big and they catch the ball well."
And that will pose a challenge for Lakota.
The Raiders are sixth against the run (192.8 ypg) in the MAL, but fourth against the pass (135.6 ypg) and sixth in overall defense (328.4 ypg).?
"We've got a lot of guys on defense that didn't play before and we've got to take some chances and do some things, go out and have fun," Vodika said. "We're looking forward to it.
"Our defense is young. We've got to come out," he said. "The one thing I told them today, 'Let's not play on our heels, let's play on our toes. Let's go out and have some fun and do what we can.'"
Meanwhile, Lakota's offense is almost opposite that of St. Joe. The Raiders are third when it comes to rushing the ball (205.8 ypg), with Tiger Jaso (87.8 ypg) and Kody Brewer (74 ypg) accounting for a combined 161.8 rushing yards.
However, Lakota is last when it comes to passing (158 ypg), and it faces a defense allowing only 143.6 yards on the ground and another 143 through the air.
"We've got to nose up and not back off. This week's a huge challenge that way," Vodika said. "They're a good, big, physical and well-coached team, so it's a challenge for us. But, hey, if we want to grow, we've got to take another step."

In the railway station, the line from the Gotthard forks into two branches, one heading for Zurich and the other for Lucerne/Basel. Arth-Goldau also lies along the route of the "Voralpenexpress" from Lucerne to Romanshorn. Above all however, the railway node is the valley station for the cog railway leading up the "queen of the mountains", up the Rigi, on whose north-eastern foot Arth-Goldau lies.
The Rosberg, on the opposing valley side, is where, well over 200 years ago, one of Switzerland's greatest natural disasters started: On 2 September 1806, a massive 40 million cubic metres of rock mass loosened itself after heavy rainfalls and thundered down into the valley. The landslide destroyed Goldau and its surroundings, 457 people lost their lives in the process. The "Landslide Trail" is a themed walking trail about the Goldau landslide. There is also a landslide museum in Goldau. The alluvial fan, representing a wild primordial landscape with huge rocks, at the very centre of Goldau village is now home to Goldau Zoo which has 100 native and European animal species. It is an especially popular excursion destination with families.
Arth on Lake Zug is the starting point for a leisurely trip onboard a scheduled Lake Zug passenger boat. What's more, the lakeside village has a small, but excellent family swimming area with a garden restaurant, children's splash pools and playgrounds. Another attractive swimming area can be found in Lauerz on the same lake, but east of Arth-Goldau. Arth-Goldau is situated in the heart of a cherry tree region. In spring, blossom time is a particularly aesthetic natural spectacle; a visit to a Kirsch distillery is an experience at any time of year.
As far as diversity is concerned, the excursion and hiking mountain of Rigi can hardly be surpassed: from Rigi-Kulm, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic vista across the Alps, over 13 lakes and across the Swiss Mittelland as far as Germany and France. The mountain offers over 100 km of walking and rambling paths, including an educational forest trail near Arth. The two cog railways from Goldau and Vitznau, plus aerial cableways, provide for different walking and round trip combinations. In winter, the white Rigi ski, tobogganing and winter walking region attracts visitors to enjoy sports and fun in the snow.
- Rigi – the "queen of the mountains" in the heart of central Switzerland, surrounded by Lakes Lucerne, Zug and Lauerz. Sunrises on Rigi-Kulm are legendary.
- Rigi Panorama Trail – this level path (a former tram route) with stunning views and numerous picnic areas leads from Rigi-Kaltbad to Rigi-Scheidegg.
- Kirschstrasse – the area around Kirschstrasse offers everything from cherry tree blossoms to double-distilled Kirsch.
- Lake Zug – a boat trip onboard one of the regular services operating on Lake Zug constitutes the ideal combination of relaxation and sightseeing.
Top Events
- International Rigi Mountain Run – from Arth to Rigi-Kulm, provides an insight into the magnificent Alpine world and contributes towards bodily strength and stamina (August).

Systemwide Events Calendar
Writing RetreatSeptember 21, 9:30am - 2:00pm
Windward Campus, Hale 'Ākoakoa 107/109
"Our Writing Retreat is not exactly a class but is an opportunity to meet and write in company with other beginning and experienced writers. Here we tap into our mutual creative energy. After introductions, we collect ideas in response to a starter prompt, then each person begins to draft a story, poem, memoir, argument or whatever. In small groups we read these diverse pieces and give each other non-critical reader responses. Anyone over 16 is welcome to attend. Bring writing materials, a sack lunch, and perhaps a mug for coffee or tea. A food contribution for the morning snack table is welcome, but it is not necessary. Classes meet on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Call early to register with your credit card information; course may close due to large enrollment!"

I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican, but before you vote in the upcoming recall election I hope that you take the time to educate yourselves on who you would be voting for to be our representative in Madison.
Kim Simac scares me and I do not believe she is fit to govern. She is also getting national press for her extreme and controversial views.

If you want to vote for her because you believe in her, go ahead. But don't write a blank check for any candidate just because you don't agree with the other candidate. Our political system is getting to the point where you have to choose the lesser of two evils.

Confidence Booster!
Just found this comment under one of my YouTube clips:
NelsonClick has made a comment on Tom Segura at The Comedy and Magic Club:
This guy is sexy in a creepy way. You'd blow him if you knew none of your friends would find out about it but if they did you'd stand proud on that point and say something uncool like, "It's my life and I'll do what I want and sleep with whomever I choose".
I don't really see how you can ask for more than that. Thanks, Nelson!

I didn't prepare anything for today as it's been a busy weekend, but it's two hours until game time and nothing is up yet.
Keep the winning streak alive, keep the scoring potent. Florida is a team that we absolutely can and should beat, show up and win this one boys.
Edit: I posted up a concept of what I have been working on, it's an imcomplete GDT graphic but it's a preview of the finished project, added the lines below (Thanks to HockeytownRules19 for posting current lines) so there was some kind of respectable looking GDT for this game.

Simple and effective are the words that define a screening now available at Cabell Huntington Hospital to detect heart disease in its earliest stages. Known as Cardiac CT Calcium Scoring, this test is currently one of the most advanced methods for assessing your risk for heart disease, including a fatal heart attack that may not show any warning signs.
Cardiac CT Calcium Scoring is a noninvasive, painless, 10-minute heart screening to check for the presence of calcium in the coronary arteries. The test uses a CT scanner to enable doctors to identify heart disease in its earliest stages, prevent it from worsening and reduce your heart attack risk. Cabell Huntington Hospital, the region's first and only SHAPE/Heart Health Certified Center of Excellence, is offering these screenings for $99 (now $75) in the Erma Ora Byrd Clinical Center at 1249 15th Street in Huntington.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading killer in America today. Every 60 seconds, someone in the US dies from a heart attack; more than half of them had no previous symptoms. Although not everyone is at risk for heart disease, many residents in the Tri-State region have one or more of the risk factors, including age (men over 45/women over 55), smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, lack of regular exercise and a family history of heart disease.
Learn more about Cardiac CT Calcium Scoring and take a quiz to help you decide if this test is right for you. A physician referral is not necessary. To schedule your exam, please call 304-526-2125.
