NEW ORLEANS – The Buffalo Bills put on a full-court press when they pursued new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine.
Not only did head coach Doug Marrone visit Pettine, but he was joined by Bills President Russ Brandon, General Manager Buddy Nix and Assistant General Manager Doug Whaley.
"When we got off the podium at the press conference introducing Doug Marrone, we hopped right on a plane right from the podium and went off to Morristown, N.J., and really went after Mike Pettine," said Brandon Friday.
Pettine was hired by the Bills on Jan. 9. He served the past four years as defensive coordinator for the New York Jets and previously served as an aide for the Baltimore Ravens for seven years. The group effort was in part intended to show Pettine how seriously the Bills wanted him.
"The coaching staff is the responsibility of Doug," Brandon said of the head coach. "But we all went down there – Buddy, myself, Doug Whaley and Doug Marrone. ... It was organizational support. We wanted to make it clear to Doug [Marrone] that we are all-in in this process."
Brandon on Pettine: "I love how aggressive he is, how he attacks. He's very bright. His pedigree is pretty damn good, when you look at where he was – in Baltimore and New York. His dad's a legendary [high school] coach. ... Everything you hear about him on the outside is A-plus."
Not surprisingly, Brandon is happy with Marrone's assistants.
"I think he's done a nice job of bringing in young, energetic, good football coaches with some veteran presence," Brandon said. "I'm excited about this staff. They seem like real grinders. Good, smart, technical football coaches."
Brandon attended the Senior Bowl college all-star game last week. He characterized his role in the football department, in essence, as being an overseer. While he keeps informed on all football developments, he said it's not his role or his desire to do the general manager's job.
"I will provide leadership to the organization within every element of our operation," Brandon said. "But no different than when you hire a director of ticket operations to run the ticket department, you hire football people to run the football department. When it comes to those decisions, Buddy will make the final decision on how we move forward in the draft, in free agency. We'll obviously work together in all that with coach Marrone."
Marrone and his staff are evaluating the Bills' roster.
Brandon said there have been no developments in contract talks with the team's top two impending free agents – safety Jairus Byrd and guard Andy Levitre.
"The timeline is we need to sit down as a group personnel-wise and put our game plan together on how we're going to approach things," Brandon said. "As far as talks are concerned, there's nothing at this point that's concrete. We would love to have both guys back."

In mid-September, DailyTech brought you news that congress was working on a new round of tax credits targeted at plug-in electric/hybrid vehicles. The tax credits were projected to weigh in at $3,000 for plug-in vehicles with at least a 6 kWh battery and top out at $7,500.
Toyota, which sells its Prius featuring a 1.3 kWh battery pack, balked at the tax credits as its hybrids wouldn't even qualify for the entry-level tax credit. Toyota also was unhappy that the only vehicle in the near future likely to qualify for the maximum $7,500 tax credit is the Chevrolet Volt.
Despite its opposition, Toyota's fears became law last week when President Bush signed the legislation which passed in the House by a vote of 263 to 171 as a part of the massive $700 billion Wall Street bailout package. The entire 10-year tax package for plug-in electric/hybrid vehicles is worth $1 billion.
Requirements to qualify for the tax credit have changed slightly since its inception in the Senate. The 6 kWh battery minimum dropped down to 4 kWh, while the base tax credit rose from $3,000 to $4,168. The maximum credit remains at $7,500 for the Chevrolet Volt with its 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
The Chevrolet Volt gets its primary power from a 150 HP, 273 lb-ft electric motor. A 1.4 liter gasoline engine is also used to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack once the Volt's 40-mile battery range is depleted. According to GM, the Volt can save customers $1,500 per year in fuel costs based on a daily commute of 40 miles.
The $7,500 tax credit should go a long way towards making the Chevrolet Volt more affordable. Current estimates place the base price of the vehicle at $40,000 or higher.

quote: A few facts: * With a yen valued at 118 to the dollar, Japanese automakers enjoy an average windfall $4,000 cost advantage per vehicle more than they would if the yen traded at its true value. The overall subsidy Japanese automakers gain for the 2.2 million vehicles they import totaled $8.8 billion in 2006. * The total yen subsidy provided to Japanese automakers in 2006 was $13.4 billion – $8.8 billion for car & truck exports to the U.S. and $ 4.6 billion for imported parts used in American-made Japanese cars.* More than half (52%) of all automobiles manufactured in Japan were designated for export in 2006, exceeding 50% for the first time in 19 years. In fact, even as demand within Japan for new autos is declining, Japanese companies are adding production capacity to Japan-based facilities, reactivating assembly lines, adding workers and postponing planned factory closures as they move to export ever greater numbers of vehicles.

School district looks at budget options
April 23, 2013
JERSEY SHORE — The Jersey Shore Area School Board was presented with three options Monday at its meeting to balance its 2013-14 budget, which as of now shows a deficit of about $520,000....
"We are here NOW, quit living in the past, work toward the future." -Words of inspiration from ValleyParent2008 If you can subtract 2013-08, that is 5 years of planning for the future (resurfacing from your past). The facts aren't popular, that is why people are spinning their own lies.....

It is about EVERY child in the Jersey Shore School District, not just a select few Valleyparent2008. Why do YOU think that retired seniors should be paying to keep a school open that OBVIOUSLY can be closed? Please contact neighboring districts and see why they WILL be raising taxes. You might want to contact a lawyer who specializes in school law or a County Judge to see if you can referendum a school closure. When you do that, could you post the answer on here?

Further, your so quick to post others names and seem to feel you speak best. Why not put your obviously very superior self out there. Afterall, apparently you know what is best! Share your info, so we can be ever so proud of your ranting, and thank you for making us so popular! :) Grow up!

The same people want to spout that the saving grace of the entire district is closing Nipp school. Seeing the same name and hearing your broken records get old. Why not let the entire district vote on how they feel- NOT at a board meeting, perhaps a ballot! Let the people have their say there. LaughIn, Luey22,where is ALL the support you claim to have for this renovation and closing? The majority of attendees at your board meetings are against it. There ARE other options, closed minded people refuse to see them. Mr. Emery is quick to throw out the "eliminate programs and raise taxes" scare. Whats he care, he doesn't live in our district! The poor case of where have all these people been the last years... get over it! We are here NOW, quit living in the past, work toward the future. It is about the children, not state of the art, overcrowded classrooms.

After video review, it would appear the JSE renovation/addition is not the cause for budget issues (millage in place already). The district is facing increase in health insurance and pension contribution to staff, same as in the Montoursville article today.
Worried, the "no brainer" failed before

MoMRNRmR, the fact that some schools (even ones within a 15 mile radius of JSASD) have out building's which are used for instruction is a fact. In my opinion, certain individuals in the JS community think more about the almighty buck more than a good educational environment for their children, students and future leaders. This whole situation is down right pathetic and. embarrassing for our community. "GET WITH THE PROGRAM"

This should be a no brainer, close the school. We cannot keep increasing the taxes every year. We must learn to live within our budget.

"in the trailor park"...sorry, I just spewd my tea everywhere. LaughIn, it is Loren Koch who is taking John Shiremans position due to her sister Adrienne Stahl taking the district to court to reapportion. The real question is why does Loren **** want to be a school board representative? Maybe she will give us her answer while smoking a cigarette outside the school administration building?

Laughin you are totally correct with your post. Carebear, ok do you want Portables setting on the side of JSE, so your child can say, I go to school in the Trailor Park! They do it down south and out west. The Nippenose School will close, get with the program. We don't want to pay more taxes if it's Preventable.

Why is Loren Stahl not involved with her children's Parent-Teacher Association? Is this the same woman who is running for School Director?
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I totally agree with Luey. Carebear, are you seriously paying attention to the economy? Half of that current board put this district in it's current situation and I would like to know why. Less for more is what currently is happening everywhere, reality is obvious to most. Johnny come lately scenario for the attendees at meetings within the past two years are also responsible for the current situation. If "we the people" had every student in the districts best interests in mind and on the tip of their forked tongues, construction would be near completion. Oh yes, and probably at a much less expense to us taxpayers on fixed incomes

I agree if we could accommodate all of the students at JSE without an addition and only renovations, that would be a more responsible move considering the addition which consists of 4 classrooms is an approximately an additional 6 million for the taxpayers. Funny how in the beginning the board voted on the renovation/ addition project which consisted of an addition of 30,000 sq ft at a cost of 14 million, and now here we are with renovations and half of the addition (15,000 sq ft), for over 15 million????????
0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Weigh the options of the extra additions to the JSE NOW, close a school NOW and the future thought of maintaining a level of taxes that is managable by the local tax base in the future is a very RESPONSIBLE move by the administration in Jersey Shore. Lets get REAL...JSE needs renovated and if an outlying school can be closed and the students can be educated in JSE even without the additions, just do it. I am so tired of hearing the propoganda about how closing a school is going to cost me....NO, not closing that school is going to cost EVERYONE and especially our children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents. ME....ME....ME....how about US.....US....US....

Or maybe we shouldn't be spending 15 million dollars?

OPTIONS: raise real estate taxes to almost double what we are paying currently; raise taxes 2.3%, cut programs, reduce staff and increase class size; or close Nippenose Valley Elementary. Is this even a real question for the school board members to be contemplating? They had better be remembering all of the retired individuals in mid June when that vote comes into play. Close the school and keep what curriculum the kids have currently SAVE PROGRAMS FOR ALL JSASD STUDENTS.

Is it something in the air? Or is it just our bad luck that New York State and the City of Buffalo seem to attract more than their share of scoundrels into public service?
Not only do we get crooks and reprobates, we get charlatans like former Buffalo Common Council Member Brian C. Davis, who thought he should be spared from punishment for his thievery because of his "immense public humiliation" at the hands of the media.
Right. The media made him do it. Davis stole from the public that elected him and still fails to truly grasp that he is the cause of his humiliation.
U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny wasn't buying Davis' act and sentenced him to a year in prison. Davis did apologize for stealing $48,000 in public funds meant for local community groups, but the apology came far too late to be credible.
Timothy Wanamaker at least isn't whining about his comeuppance - or not yet, anyway. The city's former economic development chief pleaded guilty last year to billing $30,000 in personal hotel and related travel expenses on his city-issued credit card while serving as Buffalo's economic development czar from 2003 to 2008.
Wanamaker was a rising star in the administration of former Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello and in that of his successor, Mayor Byron W. Brown. His sentencing has been put off four times and is now scheduled for Sept. 24.
Federal prosecutors had offered to recommend a lighter sentence if Wanamaker cooperated with their continuing probe into City Hall's use of anti-poverty funds. Last month, however, they rescinded the offer. So instead of facing a sentence of probation to six months behind bars, he now risks six to 12 months in prison.
New York State, itself, is becoming famous for the number of high government officials facing criminal charges for abusing their public positions. State Sen. Shirley Huntley, D-Queens, was arrested on criminal charges of tampering with evidence and falsifying business records last month. Former Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno faces a retrial on federal corruption charges.
Many others have faced their day in court, but it's not just criminal activity that is the problem. Earlier this summer, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver approved a secret $103,000 payment - in public dollars - to settle a sexual harassment case against Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, D-Brooklyn.
What is perhaps most worrisome about the cases involving Davis and Wanamaker is that prosecutors aren't sure the criminality would have been uncovered but for an investigation into the unrelated case of the failed One Sunset restaurant. That suggests a gaping hole in city oversight, one that City Comptroller Mark Schroeder might usefully fill.
No one need shed any tears for Davis or Wanamaker. They held their positions because they had won the trust of the people they represented, or of an official whom those people had elected. They violated that trust. They did it with intent.
These men should have set high standards for themselves but instead, they couldn't even reach the standard of basic honesty.

Quality, availability key to early success

While West Virginia is doing an excellent job providing quality pre-school programs for 4-year-old children, it lags badly regarding 3-year-olds....

Sure, Bullhead, and all with a corresponding drop in student performance. It's all about teacher jobs and student indocrination. The three Rs are ancillary, at best. If WV students are malperformers (and, as a group, they are) it must be because they are not exposed to the artificial world of educartion early enough in life. It can't be because the kids are dullards or that the teachers aren't, as a group, good at what they do.

Has anyone ever bothered to notice how much we have lowered the initial age of compulsory attendance and how much we have extended the upper age of compulsory attendance over the decades?
Has anyone bothered to notice what has happened to results with the more government-imposed involvement?

The import of a quality pre-k education program cannot be over stated. After all, what if Washington, Lincoln, Eisntein, Hemingway, Whitman, and Dickinson had not had benefit of such a program? I would have tossed a West Virginian in there but I can't think of one who contributed anything of lasting value to our nation.

What is Digital Camera?
- Digital camera work basic principles: light - electricity - digital signal transfer and change. Through the light sensor signal into a current signal into analog and then digital signal processing by a dedicated chip, and filtering the information obtained to restore it is what we see a dynamic picture
Some Affect the Image Quality Reasons:
- Camera Image is Not Good. This failure generally can be divided into three cases, one is shown in the viewfinder image and the TV is not ideal, leading to the reasons for this failure is usually in the camera circuit; Second, the viewfinder image normal and the TV show bad image, in which case AC adapter or failure is usually caused by poor line connection; third is the TV image viewfinder image normal and bad reasons for this failure is usually caused by a viewfinder
- The Image Color is Not Natural. If the tape monitor records the image normal and five color or color negative, in general, failure occurred in the video section: On the contrary, if the tape recording monitor image is not normal and normal, was caused by AC adapter or a bad connection. If both are negative, the fault in the camera circuit
- Image Blur, Focus is Not Good. If the manual focus well and auto-focus poor, often malfunction in the automatic focusing circuit. If the manual and automatic focus are bad, the fault component, mainly in the lens focus
- No Audio Playback Images. In such cases, can be taken with a tape recorder into the common normal replay, monitor sound effects. If the sound normal, the fault in the AC adapter; the other hand, failure in the audio and microphone recording microphone circuit or circuits
- The Machine Does Not Work. After booting the keys had no role in the viewfinder no light, the box body does not work. Such power failures are usually caused by abnormal or power circuits. Should first check the battery voltage or AC AC adapter output voltage is normal, if normal then the fault in the power circuit.
- Tape Handling Failure. Viewfinder and monitor can be displayed the image when shooting, but the tape is not loaded into or take it out. Such failure generally occurs in the movement and its drive circuit
- Avoid highlight, high or cold temperature, water, shock, collision, corrosion, smoke, dust, magnetic, X-ray etc.
- Only when it is in great need, a little bit of dust will not affect the image quality. When you need cleaning, it shall use a soft brush, such as the sable brush or hair dryer to remove dust. If you want to wipe the lens, you should use the pump to blow away the dust, wipe it with lens paper
- You can use a transparent display protection sticker to protect the screen

I checked the clock for the umpteenth time. If Terry didn't get home soon, it could mean something horrible -- I'd have to pack my own lunch.
Slowly, layer by layer, a memory poked up through the fog. When we were falling asleep the other night, didn't she say something about having to work late?
Let's see, there was the purple hippo pushing the baby buggy. That girl in the fish dress stood by the light socket and asked about the history assignment. Then there was --
Yeah, that's it. Terry shook my shoulder and told me she had to work over two hours. Yeah.
Wait a minute. History assignment? When did I go back to school?
We simply MUST start getting more sleep.
Experts say sleep deprivation is an epidemic. It's also great entertainment.
Terry works a day shift. I work nights. Too many of our conversations happen either when I'm crawling into bed or she's crawling out. I can't remember half of them. She only remembers the wrong halves.
''Tell me again about the flying gorilla at the baseball game. Were there two men on second base or three?''
''What are you talking about?''
She shrugged. ''That's what I asked you. You just yelled louder, 'The flying gorilla, tag the flying gorilla!'''
''You're making that up. Anyway, did you call Dave?''
I threw up my hands. ''I told you two nights ago. He needed that serial number from you by yesterday or you wouldn't get the part.''
''You didn't tell me to call Dave.''
''Yes, I did. I asked if you were awake, you opened your eyes and said yes, I told you I talked to Dave like you asked me to do, you said you'd get him that number, then you closed your eyes again.''
Terry shook her head. ''Who's Dave?''
Confusion and forgetfulness are among the problems caused by sleep deprivation, according to researchers.
All the stress and busyness of our waking hours wreaks havoc on our synapses, neurons and other pieces and parts of our brains. Deep sleep is when the brain gathers up all the loose wires and plugs the connections back in between the nerve cells.
The less sleep one gets, the more discombobulated the brain.
Also, without sleep, a person fumbles around with the same motor skills as someone who's legally intoxicated. Plus, you see things that aren't there. The sleepless brain can't compute both the images in front of you and those popping up off your peripherals.
So the brain makes things up.
Add to that the flying gorillas and girls in fish suits that you see in those fuzzy moments between asleep and awake, and things just get weird.
Terry woke me up the other night as she was struggling to get out of bed.
''Whaaa?'' I snorted.
''I need to hang the marmalade up to dry.''
''I already did. -- Snixx -- Go backta bed.''
''Thanks, Sweetie.''
Twenty minutes later, my eyes snapped open. Hang up the marmalade?
I nudged Terry. ''You're s'posed to iron it.''
''I'll giddid inna mornin','' she mumbled.
Communication is the key to a strong marriage. The purple hippo said so.

25-Man Roster Update
AZ Phil's Cubs Depth Chart | Cubs Reserve List (40-man Roster)
Let's take a revised look at what we might expect the Cubs Opening Day Roster to look like after the recent series of moves.
C - Geovany Soto
1B - Derrek Lee
2B - *Mike Fontenot
3B - Aramis Ramirez
SS - Ryan Theriot
LF - Alfonso Soriano
CF - *Kosuke Fukudome
RF - #Milton Bradley
C - *Paul Bako
OF - Reed Johnson
OF - *Joey Gathright
INF - #Aaron Miles
INF/OF - *Micah Hoffpauir
Starting Pitching
#1 - Carlos Zambrano
#2 - Ryan Dempster
#3 - *Ted Lilly
#4 - Rich Harden
#5 - Aaron Heilman
#1 (Closer) - Carlos Marmol
#2 (Set-Up) - Kevin Gregg
#3 - Luis Vizcaino
#4 - *Neal Cotts
#5 - Chad Gaudin
#6 - Angel Guzman
#7 - *Sean Marshall
Moving Wuertz opens up a spot in the bullpen for the loser of the 5th starter job and sometime during spring training, Lou is going to say he wants two lefties in the pen. Hoffpauir gets the final bench spot at the moment, that is until they sign Rich Aurilia, Nomar Garciaparra or Kevin Millar. If Harden starts the year on the disabled list, then I'd expect Marshall in the rotation and Jeff Samardzija or an NRI invitee to take the final bullpen spot. Of course, Samardzija may end up with a starter's job and Heilman and/or Marshall will end up in the pen.
Re: Gary Hughes honored
what do you get with that? a gold plated watch and a handshake?
Re: Gary Hughes honored
"And a Fish Sandwich" - Leon Phelps
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
phew...that pen is gonna walk some guys.
and hopefully guzman wont give up 1000000 homers.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Biggest problem with letting Wood walk is now you take your top "Come in in a bind and strike out three clowns" guy and move him from being flexible to being labeled "The Closer"...now he only pitches in the 9th, so we'll bring in Gregg/Vizciano/Scrub and they'll give up the runs and will make having Marmol available in the 9th a moot point. The pen screams mediocrity and that isn't good for a contending team.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Well someone needs to figure that out now. Fantasy drafts are around the corner (I'll end up drafting Marmol regardless if he's the closer or not, those Ks are filthy)
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Lou gives less than a shit about your fantasy team.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
He hates your team.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
He's the reason Lou loves my team. You got Pujols for him - no complaining.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
You both need to blow up your teams. Make it challenging.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
"Lou gives less than a shit about your fantasy team."
Sorry The Joe, not everyone can be TCR Keeper Champion/Runner-Up like you. Some of us are still in the little leagues playing public leagues over at Yahoo. One day I aspire to be like the man, the myth, and the legendary fantasy baseball player that is The Joe.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
I didn't mean that to be antagonistic.
Besides, JD is the real man around here. He just doesn't feel the need to gloat about it like I do.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Tongue and cheek my friend, tongue and cheek.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
I figured so...but you never know for sure on the internets.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Can somebody explain to me why Hoffpauir will be on the outside looking in? To my knowledge he's done nothing but hit the cover off the ball at the major league level, and he's not really at an age where time in the minors will help him anymore.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
"The Cubs seem to have soured on the lefty pinch-hitter with power" since Ward hit .216 and had more Ks (24) than hits (22).
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
"He had good AB's, walked a lot as no one wanted to pitch to him, which probably set up Soriano and the top of the order for more opportunities than they should have expected."
They walked Ward so they could throw two curveballs in the dirt and an eye high fastball to Soriano to get out of the inning...
I kid I kid, I understand with a small sample size it's hard to take averages for what they're worth (shit Fukudome was batting .500 at one point least season)
Just seems to me that they're looking for a bit more versatility out of that last roster spot than The Hoff...for whatever its worth.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Not your idea?
I remember when you first said it, the first time Aurilia's name surfaced. You may have started the rumor that there was an open spot on the roster, temporarily filled by Hoffpauir.
You had me scared for a while, but then Uribe signed a minor-league contract with somebody else, and I just figured the Cubs were looking for someone to stash in Iowa in case Ramirez got injured.
Anyway, on a different subject, let me toss this out concerning Vizcaino.
A guy who makes upwards of $4 million is automatically on the major-league roster. Normally. But Vizcaino may be different. It may be that the Cubs don't like him much, but were given these two options by the Rockies: pay half of Marquis' salary, or pay one million and then also pay Vizcaino. They would have shelled out the same amount either way. They opted for the warm body. That doesn't mean he's in their plans.
They do have to try to make Vizcaino attractive for a few months (so they can pay only $2 million for someone else to take him), so maybe he has to be on the 25-man. I just don't think they necessarily like him at all.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
The ESPN link is dated 1/30. I was referring to something you wrote on the 15th.
"The Cubs have spoken to Rich Aurilia's agent and may offer Aurilia a one-year deal to take Cedeno's spot and back up Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee."
Whose spot was Cedeno going to take though? I'm starting to wonder if Micah Hoffpauir is on the outside looking in at a roster spot.
Nothing wrong with connecting the dots, I just said you were the first to connect Aurilia et al. to Hoffpauir.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
In a recent thread somebody raised the point that "Lou hates pitchers". I'm not sure of that, but I do think he hates relievers who walk guys. Hence reliance on HR Howry last year.
#5 starter comes down to Heilman or Gaudin, with whomever shows better control actually going to the bullpen. I guess Heilman. I think Marshall will get the least look for the #5 starter, since Lou has talked about liking him in the swing role.
I also think by the time it shakes out it will be Samrdizja--Marmol-Gregg to finish games.
So either Vizcaino goes somewhere (I assume with the Cubs paying part of his salary) or Guzman goes.
I also think Hoffpauir starts the year at AAA to stay sharp. His primary value to the Cubs (at least in management's mind) is as a regular fill-in for D Lee if he gets hurt, rather than as a 24th man. Better to play at Iowa and be only a phone call away.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Ramirez is now on the wrong side of 30, and has averaged 140 games a year for the past five seasons. Miles is the only backup 3B on the roster, and is best suited for 2B-SS.
We need a guy who can backup both 3B and 1B and provide a litle PH thump off the bench. Hoffpauir simply can't fill that role.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Provide of course that he signs 1 yr cheap/incentive laden contract and understands his role is that of backup/roleplayer/cheerleader
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Doug Mientkiewicz is another fallback option, as he can play both 1B and 3B and offers another LH bat.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Speaking of Fantasy Baseball....we should have a Cubs Report fantasy league! Thoughts on that guys?
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
That's a pretty good idea.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
You're so vain. You probably think that post was about you.
But we should start a fantasy league!
dibs on Hanley.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
I call all the infielders that have OF-eligibility and relievers that are 'SP' eligible!
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Sorry Rob G (Cub Reporter)....didn't mean to hurt your feelings....let's do it! We should get 10 people who write in to join! Thoughts?
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Is Transmission still alive? I thought he was involved in a Fatal Attraction type thing in Arkansas?
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Doug Mientkiewicz is another fallback option
he also an anagram for Samardzija in Belarus, nyet?
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Concern: If Marshall swings to the rotation, is Cotts the only lefty option in the pen?
Beimel never sounded so adequate.
Re: 25-Man Roster Update
Fear not. Mike Stanton to the rescue!
Also a few other non-roster invites.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Warne Manufacturing has developed a scope mounting system for Smith & Wesson K, L & N Frame revolvers allowing the use of multiple optics or the factory sights. The new system when used with Warne's quick detachable rings, enables switching between optics and returning to zero each and every time. Or the user can remove the optics and employ the factory sights, which also remain zeroed. Made from solid steel to handle recoil, this base is the first of its kind. The Smith & Wesson rear sight is removed to install most scope mounts. Warne's base allows the user to reinstall the rear sight and front sight onto the top of the base. The factory sights are then fully functional. The rings are made to be removed and reinstalled without any loss of zero. The quick detach lever makes the process quick and easy to perform by hand withourt any tools or wrenches.
For use on pre-drilled revolvers only.

Great for hauling lots of gear and up to 8 people, the 1860 MVX Jon is large enough and stable enough for fishing, waterfowling, bowfishing, or general utility work. At 18' 4" and with an ample 7' (2.13) beam, you can transport deer feeders, dogs, and more-with the stable assurance only a big boat can provide.
From a structural standpoint, it doesn't get much more rock-solid than this. A full-length welded-in longitudinal stringer system unitizes the hull and the box-beam, all-aluminum transom. Add to that a thicker, .190 floor and welded-in, foam-filled interior wall panels, and you've got an on-the-water workhorse with unparalleled strength and durability.
The new Mod V, 7° deadrise hull provides a smoother, drier ride whether you're running a trotline on the bayou or cutting through the inshore chop.
Standard features include spacious bow storage, 2 pedestal seat bases, a non-skid deck and floor finish, a trolling motor mount, and our exclusive Versatrack gunnel system so you can mount a variety of accessories.

A freshening breeze cooled the grounds at The Woodlands Thursday afternoon as Maite Murphy was sworn in to the Circuit Court of South Carolina, at large Seat 15.
S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal presided over the special convening of the court and administered the oath. Murphy was joined by her husband Rep. Chris Murphy and their two sons, Austin and Jackson.
The occasion included remarks from Rep. Jenny Horne, Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein, and Toal, who praised Murphy's ability as a jurist. Sen. Sean Bennett led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Murphy thanked all who had helped her along the way, singling out Horne and Goodstein as being crucial to her success as a judge – first as a magistrate, more recently as Dorchester County Master-in-Equity and now the circuit court.
Horne spoke of the importance of having the at-large seat awarded to someone from Dorchester County, and in particular to Murphy. She spoke of Murphy's expertise as an attorney and a judge. She also spoke of Murphy as a close friend, mother and wife.
Horne noted that there are now nine women among the 49 circuit court judges in South Carolina and that until the mid-1980s there were no women in the circuit court.
Goodstein echoed those sentiments, speaking directly to the Murphy children about how exceptional their parents are. Following the swearing-in, Goodstein gave Murphy her Judge's robe.
The investiture ceremony was followed by a reception inside the Woodlands mansion and a party at the Woodlands Pavilion.

One year after the first strike hit the $200 billion fast-food industry, Charleston workers are expected to walk off their jobs Thursday, joining a 100-city strike wave. Workers will go on strike in every region of the continental United States and will be joined by supporters rallying in an additional 100 cities, as the fight for $15 an hour living wage and the right to form a union without retaliation continues to grow. This marks the first time Charleston fast-food workers have joined the spreading strike wave. These strikes are part of a growing fast-food worker movement that started with 200 workers striking in New York City just one year ago.
Workers are expected to strike at Charleston's major fast-food restaurants, including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC. Clergy, elected officials and community supporters will join fast-food workers on the strike lines.
WHO: Workers at McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King; Community from Carolina Alliance for Fair Employment (CAFE) and the South Carolina Progressive Network; Reverend Dixon of Summerville Christian Fellowship
WHAT: Workers walk off jobs in call for a $15 an hour wage and the right to form a union without interference from employers
WHERE: 2036 Savannah Highway, Charleston
WHEN: 11:30 a.m.
WHY: The country's fastest growing jobs are also the lowest paid, slowing the recovery and hurting the local economy. While the fast-food industry is making record profits, its workers are forced to rely on public assistance – to the tune of seven billion taxpayer dollars each year – just to afford the basics. That's why fast-food workers from across the country are joining together to fight for $15 an hour and the right to form a union without interference.
The median wage of fast food workers nationally is about $9.05 an hour. An adult with one child needs to make $18.27 an hour working full time in the Charleston area just to afford the basics, according to a model developed by a professor at MIT.
In addition to Charleston, strikes will hit cities all over the country, including Boston, Chicago, Denver, Hartford, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Oakland, Raleigh and Tampa.
The movement has grown steadily since then, with strikes spreading to seven cities in the spring and fast-food workers in 60 cities going on strike on Aug. 29. This is the latest in an escalating series of walkouts and protests by workers across the country. Last week, more than 100 workers and supporters were arrested as thousands of Walmart workers protested at 1,500 stores nationwide on Black Friday, calling for Walmart to publicly commit to paying $25,000 a year, providing full-time work and ending illegal retaliation.

Mention Kennesaw State University athletics these days and there are several questions that come quickly to mind. Such as "When is KSU going to start a football team?" and "Why does it need a football team?"
KSU Athletic Director Vaughn Williams talked about those and other questions at a recent meeting of the Marietta Kiwanis Club.
KSU is still hoping to field a team in fall of 2014.
As for why it needs a team, it's about raising the profile of the KSU brand, he said.
"We have to be smart and diligent and good businesspeople. I'm not trying to be Georgia and I'm not trying to be Georgia Tech. Football for Kennesaw State is about community.
"Every time I go to orientation, I ask, 'How many of you have been to a football game?' And every parent and student raises their hand. Football can do things for a community and a campus that you just can't do with any other thing. So football for Kennesaw State is much about community, much about brand, much about bringing people to the campus.
"And let's face it. Athletics in general is about competition, but it's also about bringing people to the campus to expose them what your university has.
"I always tell my people, there are 4,300 people at a basketball game, and maybe one of them will play basketball here, but we need 4,300 people leaving here saying, 'Kennesaw State, that was a great experience!' They need to leave here and tell people to send their daughters and sons to our college. That's how athletics is about branding. That's why you see success after the college athletic world."
KSU won't be playing Football Bowl Subdivision (FSB) football. Instead it will play at the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level formerly known as 1-AA.
"There is some great football at the FCS level up at the University of Massachusetts where I played, so I know how good it is," he said. "But I always say it's about community and football. We're not trying to be anybody else. We're just trying to be the best Kennesaw State, and that's what we're going to do."
KSU would play football at its stadium on the east side of I-75, which seats 8,500.
"It can be expanded to hold 20,000 people eventually," he said. "But we're just going to play with it as it is for now."
At present there are 261 student athletes at KSU, of whom about 60 percent are female, which is proportionate to the rest of the student body.
The prime recruiting territory for its teams is what he calls "our own backyard."
"The Southeast is rich, rich with talent. It's just a matter of getting them here."
And he closed with heavy praise for retired legendary University of Georgia head football coach and athletics director Vince Dooley, who has been working with KSU as a consultant as it works to field a football team.
"I feel very fortunate that I've been able to work with Vince Dooley for the last year and a half," he said. "I can't tell you, how fortunate I am to have such an individual that is so gracious that can be my friend, that can be my advisor, that can be my mentor, right on the job. We meet every week. He even convinced me to go to a Georgia football game. And I might go. You can't stand up Vince Dooley, right? But I think we almost have him wearing black and gold, OK?"
Go Georgia! And Go KSU!

7 Scientific Ways Coffee Gives You Super Powers
There's a joke that scientists are devices for turning coffee into results, and being scientists, they've taken it literally. The following studies show how caffeine makes you a better person, and we're not talking Lifetime channel hand-holding "better person." We're talking faster stronger smarter less likely to die better.
Upgrading Navy SEALs
Scientists decided to see what happens when you subject 68 Navy SEAL trainees to secret drug doses, nonstop stress and three days of sleep deprivation. That's not the sort of experiment that creates Captain America; it's the sort he has to clean up after.
And he has better things to do.
The U.S. Army's Military Nutrition Division, the most badass caterers of all time, took advantage of "Hell Week." That's where the SEALs force as many wannabes as possible to fail, and are so good at it that 22 of the study's 90 volunteers had quit before the scientists even got there. All subjects were "volunteers," but we're fairly sure that saying you're too scared to ingest coffee automatically fails you from SEAL training.
U.S. Army photostream via Flickr
"Pop smoke, they've got a Starbucks! Repeat, we are under heavy grande and need evac!"
After three days of sleep deprivation and constant torture by both superior officers and the sea itself, trainees were given caffeine and tested on marksmanship, cognitive ability, vigilance and saliva. The scientists claimed they were checking the saliva for caffeine levels, but it's more likely a test for insane, drooling, hyperaccelerated crack-shot madmen. At which point they deploy Dolph Lundgren.
They found that 200 milligrams of caffeine significantly improves vigilance, alertness and reaction time, even after half a week awake. These guys are extremely serious about getting things done. Their conclusion recommends caffeine over amphetamines because it's legally and medically easier to give to people. It's also motivating for regular people: If coffee can help Navy goddamn SEALs stay awake for 72 hours of torture, that morning coffee better not just wake you up -- you'd better karate chop through your desk and do a day's work before lunch. Standing. Violently.
Coffee vs. Cancer
Possibly on the grounds that caffeine can do anything, scientists organized a death match between store-bought coffee and human cancer cells. And coffee can't die. This wasn't some advanced caffeine extract irradiated with science rays -- they walked out of the hospital lab, bought four different coffees in the lobby and poured their very-probably-venti liquid into their experiments instead of into themselves. And coffee is so awesome, it's useful in both places.
Though we usually prefer medical researchers not to use a kid's "Pour this in and see what happens" approach.
It exhibited antiproliferative effects on cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying, and multiplying is cancer's entire deal. Even at dilutions of 1:70, the coffee inhibited cancer cell activity. Flow cytometry analysis -- the cellular equivalent of instant replay -- showed that the coffee even made some of the cancer cells kill themselves. That's a level of psychological combat you don't normally see at the cellular level.
"You're fat, you're ugly and, trust us, absolutely no one loves you."
Other studies have shown that caffeine also increases the effectiveness of radiation therapy and tumoricidal drugs. It really helps everything work harder, even gamma rays, and their job is a hell of a lot more important than yours.
Faster, Better Than Before
Coffee enables you to not only do stupid things faster, but also run away from the results faster as well.
He just "fixed" the server by rebooting it.
This is because caffeine is a turbocharging kit for your cardiovascular system. The liver breaks it down into three demethylated chemicals, and they're a better-designed hyperactivity team than the Power Rangers. Paraxanthine increases lipolysis, converting fat into glycol fuel and dumping it into the blood. Theobromine dilates your body's blood vessels. Theophylline relaxes smooth muscle tissue, allowing your heart to beat faster and more efficiently. So your blood is flowing faster and in greater volume, and it contains more muscle fuel.
The sprint study showed an improvement of one second over a 20-meter sprint. If that doesn't sound like much to those of us who double as Dorito storage tanks, one second faster over such a short distance is the difference between life and death when it comes to crossing the street before that speeding truck arrives, outrunning that bear and every other use of sprinting that doesn't involve track and field.
A 5-kilometer study showed a 1 percent improvement in times for both trained and amateur runners. So this isn't some minor chemical effect that only applies to those at the top of their game: Anyone in any game is improved by coffee, as long as that game involves running like hell.
They're already training for London 2012's looting event.
Brain Upgrades
Many treat coffee as a way to be less crap, something to cancel out tiredness and hopefully restore you to "sentient being" instead of "sweating paperweight." But caffeine doesn't just clean up your skull after last night's party; it improves the human brain above and beyond normal values. After dosing volunteers with small amounts of caffeine first thing in the morning (which they apparently had to do in a special facility, instead of going to any office anywhere in the world), scientists found increases in vigilance, vigor, energy, anger, efficiency and reaction time. Or in other words, caffeine is Batman.

Criminals are a fatigued, unproductive lot.
Reaction time decreased with increasing blood plasma caffeine concentration, without an increase in errors. The paper concludes that caffeine "significantly improves human performance and mood." They found that these results were further enhanced when combined with aspirin, a superhero serum often used by brave warriors fighting their deadly nemesis, The Hangover.
Curse his mind-breaking powers!

The Long Count Calendar from which our contemporary false prophets derive their December 21 doomsday prognostication is actually not Mayan. The Long Count Calendar predates the Mayans. Its origins are in the Mexican antecedents of the Mayans, the dreaded Olmecs.
For purposes of this analysis, we are not interested in the fact that the ancient Mayans may not have seen this Dec. 21 "turning point" as anything fearsome or worrisome. Some scholars have said that the dawn of a new Mayan epoch would be a cause for celebration for the ancient Mayans, not doom. This is not germane to our study.
We are interested in synchronicities and tracking the occult process whereby the Group Mind of humanity is alchemically shaped and programmed.
December 21, 2012 coincides with the seven day anniversary of the massacre of 28 persons (including the shooter) which took place in the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown (New Town) Connecticut.
Like the Olmec/Mayan New Epoch, the Newtown anniversary is being marked with widespread tension, in this case in American schools from coast to coast, where rumors of students bringing guns to school are rife.
What we are observing as we arrive at the Olmec/Mayan Long Count Day of Doom, December 21 (a meme put forth by shadowy forces) is a wave of fear, one of the most potent of all human energies. Can this collective fear be harnessed in the same way that the ancient Mexicans believed that blood sacrifice could be harnessed by their dark gods?
The United States of America has made quite a show of sympathy for the 27 victims of Adam Lanza; in partcular the focus of pity has been on his sacrifice of 20 little children. As a means of expressing collective grief and rage, our nation is in the midst of centering its wrath on the weapon Lanza used to sacrifice the children, with calls to severly limit the availability of certain types of firearms.
There has been very little national soul-searching however, over the karmic consequences of the routine, mass abortions of infants in America. The mass sacrifice of infants in America's abortion mills is pitiless. The sacrifice of American children through abortion elicits very little sympathy on the order of the passionate response to the Newtown child sacrifice. Hypocrisy is a dehumanizing element, corrosive of soul and spirit, including the national psyche and spirit.
As we have noted, the Long Count Calendar predates the Mayans, and originates with the Olmec of ancient Mexico, the predecessors of the Mayans. The chief characteristic of the Olmec religion was a death cult centered on the sacrifice of children.
What we have on December 21, 2012 is strange brew: 1. Enormous anxiety and fear for the past twelve months over what Dec. 21, 2012 would bring or portend. 2. The one-week anniversary of one of the most spectacular and depraved mass murders of children in American history, coinciding with a prophecy put into motion more than 2,000 years ago by a state religion dedicated to child sacrifice.
Can these patterns be accounted for by dismissing them as "coincidence," or do we detect in them the "long count" of a primordial, malevolent intelligence?

Second biggest U.S. dairy cooperative getting new CEO
Second biggest U.S. dairy cooperative getting new CEO
California group's leader previously worked for New Zealand export giant Fonterra
Figuratively speaking, the dairy business distance between the largest U.S. milk-producing state and the world's largest dairy-exporting nation will get a LOT shorter on January 1.
That's when Andrei Mikhalevesky (pronounced "make-a-left-ski") takes over as president and chief executive officer of California Dairies, Inc. He was recently selected by the CDI board of directors to succeed Richard Cotta, who retires on December 31 after 35 years in charge.
For the last five years, Mikhalevesky has been managing director of global ingredients and foodservices for Fonterra Cooperative Group, Inc., the world's largest exporter of dairy products. One of his primary responsibilities was developing and building Fonterra's global business partnerships. He also oversaw its research and innovation division and its branded export business in Latin America.
CDI is the largest dairy cooperative in California and the second largest in the nation. Its 450+ farmer members produce over 17 billion pounds of milk per year, significantly more than is produced in Idaho, the No. 3 dairy state. California is the largest dairy state by far at about 40 billion pounds per year. CDI produces 22 percent of the butter and 42 percent of the milk powder made in the U.S. each year.
Increased emphasis on global exportation of those products seems logical in the near future, given the scale of CDI's production, California's prime location for Pacific shipping distribution, and Mikhalevesky's experience, skill and relationships in international dairy product marketing.

I am writing this letter to ALL Wireless Router manufacturers.
I have a Linksys Wireless Router Model:BEFW11S4. It is 7 years (yes, count
them, all of seven little years) old. I have visited the Linksys website
numerous times trying to set up the WEP/WPA security on that wireless router
(as all responsible wireless router owners should!). I found that there are
no links to any wireless router setting websites that are congruent with the
screen shots from Linksys' own self help technical support site. I have had
to call Linksys several times to resolve this issue only to be placed on hold
for lengthy times (sometimes my call was dropped and I had to start over ....
how sad for such a large company to have such poorly trained phone
receptionists!), then be transferred (see previous comment about the phone
receptionists) to a supposed supervisor, only to finally be transferred to
someone who tells me that the warranty has expired and wants me to pay $40.00
for the technical support to do the right thing that I want and need to do.
First, the device works fine (as evidenced by this e-mail that you have
just received)!
Second, why should I have to pay for doing the right thing?
Third, if I am going to be EXTORTED into buying a new wireless router so
that I can do the right thing and set up an encryption key for a secure
network, what on Gods' Green Earth makes anyone think that I would CHOOSE to
buy another Linksys product when ALL that I have ever received from them is a
functional wireless router (yes, even after seven whole years) and the
crappiest Customer Service/Technical Support I have ever had the displeasure
to encounter!
I shall copy this letter and try to find as many Chat Rooms as possible in
order to spread the word of ALL that I have gone through with the Chain of
Command at the Linksys phone center, well above and beyond what any
reasonable person should expect to go through, and still have NO RELIEF
concerning my singular issue with their product and its capabilities that I
SHOULD be able to enjoy as the owner of said product! What has happend to
"The Customer Is Always Right" Customer Service mantra (I can't say "In
America" because the call was handled in India)? Is the Customer, the ones
that makes the company what it is through the purchase of products, so
worthless to the company that they can just be treated with abject contempt
and scorn? Is the Customer to thus be trampled underfoot? Are we paying to
be so abused? I, for one (yes, one, the beginning of all), shall NOT be
treated in such manner, and CERTAINLY shall NOT PAY to be treated as such!
In this world of expanding technologies, it shall be those with the
GREATEST Customer Appeal that shall continue to be found worthwile in the
publics' eyes (and pocketbooks) and shall grow to meet the demands of a
growing world - ESPECIALLY in the Electronics Department!
It is now my strongest desire that the Linksys Corporation suffers
irreparable damage and goes out of business for their Crappy Customer
Service! I can only hope that I reach enough people around the world to bring
this desire true!

EAST LIVERPOOL - The cause of a fire that destroyed a West Seventh Street home and damaged three others last Thursday is still unknown, due to the extent of fire damage.
Assistant fire Chief Jeff Kreefer said Wednesday, "When there's so much damage, it's difficult to determine the cause."
The house at 250 W. Seventh St. that was destroyed was owned by Rebecca Haney Jackson, whose address was not known, while the vacant house on the corner of West Seventh and Jefferson that was damaged is owned by Rachel L. Paradis of Virginia.
A third house at 244 W. Seventh and the fourth, at 620 Jefferson St., are both owned by Dorsey Stowers. They also were vacant.
A previous report incorrectly indicated Stowers' rental home was on Jackson Street, not Jefferson Street.
Kreefer, who was officer in charge the day of the three-alarm fire, said that although Jackson's house was destroyed, firefighters did an "outstanding job" keeping the majority of the fire contained to that house, especially considering how advanced the blaze was by the time it was reported.
"That one house was directly up against (Jackson's house) and it was only three feet away from Stowers'. We left three of four structures standing and able to be repaired," Kreefer pointed out.
None of the four houses were insured at the time of the fire, and Kreefer said the fact that the destroyed house wasn't insured indicates it was not likely set ablaze purposely.
"Nobody saw anyone in there," he said, adding, however, that Dorsey Stowers' son, Brian, showed him a collection of hypodermic needles he had collected from around the vacant structure prior to the fire.

International Relations Theory, International Law, and the Regime Governing Atrocities in Internal Conflicts
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
American Journal of International Law, Vol. 93, p. 361, 1999
Over the last ten years, international relations (IR) theory, a branch of political science, has animated some of the most exciting scholarship in international law. If a true joint discipline has not yet emerged, scholars in both fields have clearly established the value of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization. Yet IR -- like international law -- comprises several distinct theoretical approaches or "methods." This complexity makes interactions between the disciplines especially rich.
This essay summarizes the four principal schools of IR theory -- conventionally identified as "realist," "institutionalist," "liberal" and "constructivist" -- and applies them to the norms and institutions governing serious violations of human dignity during internal conflicts (the "atrocities regime"). The essay explores how these theories might explain three central features of the atrocities regime: the distinction between international and internal armed conflicts, the emergence of norms governing certain abuses outside of armed conflict, and the increasing reliance on criminal responsibility and criminal tribunals. In addition to their analytical insights, the visions of international relations and international law presented here have significant implications for the future of the atrocities regime. This essay summarizes the engines of change identified by each school of theory, and considers the special role of legal institutions in the evolution of the regime.
