5 Things You Gotta' Know About Quinoa
1) It's pronounced "keen-wa."
2) It's high in fiber.
3) It's gluten-free.
4) It's fast and easy to cook (20 minutes!).
5) It's delicious hot or cold.
I wrote a piece for BirdChannel a few years ago about quinoa (by the way, it is pronounced "KEEN-Wah"): its history, what it is, what the benefits are, where it originates from and how to cook it.
I happen to love the stuff for my birds, and it's quite the tasty food for our plates as well. It cooks quickly and is ready from tossing it into boiling water and to the strainer in about 20 minutes. So if you are short on time, you can make this in a jiffy.
I have three African greys in my family that range in age from 23 years to 6 years. But they all seem to love quinoa mixed in their Chop as well as being cooked in grain bake casseroles or in a cold mixed salad. But aside from the fact that it's delicious, it has many nutritional properties that work for parrots and specifically African greys. But all species can benefit from this wonderful "pseudocereal."
Quinoa: Not A Grain, Despite Its Nickname
Quinoa, known as "The Mother of all Grains" is high in protein, something many grains are lacking and provides all of the essential amino acids. It is considered to be a wonderful antioxidant as well as gluten-free. Why is it gluten-free? Well, it's because it doesn't belong to the same family as grains like wheat, barley oats or rye.
Despite the fact that we cook it like a grain, consume it like a grain and it looks like a grain, it's not a grain. Grains are grasses and quinoa is a part of the family whose other members are swiss chard, spinach and beets. It's a highly digestible food and it's a great source of fiber.
It's a hardy plant as it is grown in areas I simply wouldn't choose to live in. It thrives in high altitudes, freezing temperatures, very sandy, sub-par soil no other plant would even think about taking root in and it can do with precious little water. This is one tough little plant.
Aside from cooking it, there's another thing you can do with quinoa: You can grind it up in a blender into flour and use it as a substitute for white flour when you're making bread for your pet birds. It makes for a much more nutrient-dense product and at the end of the day, you want every mouthful of food that goes down the hatch a really nutritious one. Quinoa happens to deliver the goods when it comes to nutrition content.
All around, quinoa is one of my standard "go-to" staples in my pantry. It is neutral enough in flavor that it adapts to many recipe applications and it is absolutely delicious hot or cold. Try it mixed with chopped vegetables for your parrot's dinner. Or simply serve plain with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top for a breakfast side dish.
Once your flock is acquainted with quinoa, they will most likely learn to love it. Oh, and by the way, double the batch because, your family will love it as well. And as long as you have mouths to feed, you might as well, feed them all!

That's welcome news for Michigan's auto industry, which is starting to hire again, according to a story at the Detroit Free Press.
While employers are moving cautiously, the trend is expected to continue throughout the year as consumers buy more new cars and trucks.The Free Press story cites new hiring at Magna, Lear, Ford, General Motors, Urban Science and A Raymond and says although "it's not a flood of new auto industry jobs," it is reason for optimism.
Next week's annual engineering job fair at the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit will feature 17 automotive employers looking to recruit.

Honolulu, T. H., July 23, 1907.
To the Editor:
—I take the liberty of bringing to the notice of the profession a little aid which I have found of great service, the jeweler's eyeglass or loupe. One very readily acquires the ability to hold it in place, unconsciously, and I have found it of great value in epilation, searching for and removing foreign bodies from the cornea, etc. I have several glasses, but perhaps use a four-inch most often. It is surprising how often it will be of assistance about the office. The other eye being free, one can readily pick up instruments without disturbing the glass, and at the same time can have both hands free for the work in hand.

The ratings on Norway-based rail and bus services provider Norges Statsbaner AS (NSB) reflect strong and proven support from the company's 100% owner, the Kingdom of Norway (AAA/Stable/A-1+), and NSB's strategic role in the Norwegian public transportation sector. Sovereign support fully offsets NSB's exposure to commercial risks in parts of its operations, and the company's weak, albeit improving, financial performance over the past few years. The liberalization of the Norwegian passenger-rail sector, initiated in late 2004, has been halted by the new government, and the only route put out for tender (Gj-vikbanen) has been awarded to NSB. Consequently, the company's business position will likely remain strong. NSB is also trying to strengthen its position in the Scandinavian passenger-rail market. At...

Hola nois!
Second part of my summer holidays.
First part can be found here: Summer 09 (I): BCN-GVA-LCY On LX
After spending two weeks at the core of learning, Cambridge, it was time to hit the road to some fun. First stop over, Amsterdam, where I travelled by train, as I had never crossed the Channel underneath before. Taking a look at this great web: The Man in Seat Sixty-One..., I decided to take the Eurostar to Brussels.
The only down turn was timing, three hours from BRU to AMS seemed a long way but it was worth, as the service from St. Pancras to Brussels was really great. A great breakfast and lots of legroom on this service.
Some pictures for you to get an idea.
Eurostar 'cabin' shot
First service
After some days in Amsterdam and lots of fun, time for my second stop over: Hamburg. I travelled by train as well and realized that German trains run late; yes, German trains, 30 min. delay in arriving to Hamburg.
Classical wagon layout for this AMS-Szczecin service
Guys, this is what I call legroom
Cafeteria on my way to HAM, not bad, better than EK A380s
My first visit there and I really enjoyed the city. I have to say weather helped a lot as I had all sunny days, except for the day I went to Lübeck... anyway, great days, vibrant city and a great airport where to spot. I had lunch once there while spotting and while I was having my salad an A380 did a go around in front of my wide open eyes... I wa too slow to take a picture, sorry! Oooowww... what a beautiful sight, and how graciously she performed it, I noticed a very slow climb rate. Try to be ready next time.
My way back home was to be from TXL, as I headed to Berlin to visit a friend.
Luggage at Hamburg Hbf
Only passenger on the coach, a first time
27 August
07.15 - 08.15
Gate 4
Seat 5F
Getting to the airport that early in the morning was solved ctaching a cab to Tegel, where you can realize that Berlin is a huge city. 20 min. later and 20€ less I got docked at the gate A4 for my flight to LHR.
Some people are already there on line to check luggage, I am promptly attended by the agent which does her job with no much enthusiasm but correctly. I wave goodbye to my bag and wander round the airport. I did not visit the lounge this time as I wanted to feel the morning cold and the operations on the tarmac.
Security and passport check in Tegel results always in a long line as there is usually only two X-rays opened for each gate, no problem, about 10 min. on line and there I am ready to board.
My ride to LHR
Side view
Our machine today is an A319 which will have a 60% load on Y and 30% on C (6/20) seats. After boarding is completed the Captain delivers his speech about route, weather... and introduces the crew members (you always learn something new). This is then repeated in German, a shorter version without so much detailed information and no introuction of the crew.
Two males and two females will take care of our well-being while on board.
The usual video about safety on board comes next as we start moving towards the runaway, it comes with English and German subtitles.
No pre departure service at all, no newspaper, no towel, no water, no nothing. I am not familiar with BA, is it always like this?
Cabin view; not yet refurnished
Now comes one of the smoothest take offs I have ever experinced, maybe is the low load combined with the fresh summer German temperature. Really nice.
As we climb, Derek, the purser, introduces himself and the rest of the crew by name, plus a bonus on onboard service and information about T5 arrivals & connecting procedures.
Breakfast is served right away, a little rushed, right after the 10,000 feet mark. At 22,000 feet we encounter so mild turbulence that is over when we reach 38,000 over Hannover, by then we all have finished our breakfast and no crew is on sight.
British breakfast on BA, what else?
I pay a visit to the toilet and see the crew having their breakfast, that is why they were rushed over service; btw, they are fed the same as the passengers.
We cross the sea and begin our descent towards LHR.
When we reach the coast we are already at 20,000 feet and the familiar sea of clouds welcomes us to England and as we reduce speed the plane shakes a bit.
Straight to LHR? obviously not in the early morning, we do a couple of circles, and we are not alone. Finally we go down but the clouds are so low that the first thing I see when we get off them are the Kew Gardens... missed London sights, next time.
Hampton Court on sight
Over Kew Gardens
Getting closer to LHR
Nice landing, not as soft as the take off and as we taxi to T5 I get to see the SQ A380 parked and ready to go. I missed the sight of her majesty taking off.
All lined up and ready for inspection
Her Majesty's rear
Passing T3 and their interesting visitors
We are parked on a remote stand and the purser tells us it will be better as we will be delivered directly to the passport control area, yeah! you wish! It is quite chilly and rainy, so more fun is added to disembark.
Asd I enter T5 I encounter huge lines for passport control; luckily my C pass gives me access to the priority lane where there are about two people waiting. I am welcomed to the UK by the officer and as I enter the baggage reclaim area, my bag is already there.... Exactly as fast as in BOM. That is excellent!
Now comes the boring part. Waiting until 13.45 fro my plane to depart means lots of waiting.
I spend the time watching planes at the South end of T5, visiting all the other terminals. God! What a dump is T3... I am impressed at how miserable the terminal looks: low ceilings, narrow corrdiors... BA flights to BCN deprat from this terminal so I may be here sooner or later.
Finally I walk from there to T1 where *A carriers are now located, jump over constructions on the road, look right every time I cross a road and I get there safe and sound.
27 August
13.45 - 16.20
HB-IJO -- Lisengrat
Gate 27
Seat 5A
LX check in is done at zone G (?) and the agent does not bother to look at me as she keeps talking to her mate. Nice service, oh yes, very unappropriate for LX.
Priority security lanes are only for UA and some other carriers, but not LX... so I join the peasant line and after 10 min, I am through.
T1 is full of people and I head to the *A lounge which is really nice, especially food selection, pity no views of the tarmac. I Have about three different dishes and more or less the same number of wine glasses.
Food supllies at *A lounge at LHR
View of the lounge
Do not worry! I did not put up any weight as I had to walk to Gate 27, in the farthest end of the terminal, to take my plane. It is a chaotic boarding as when it has started they have to stop it beacuse some other LH and BD flights are disembarking and on the adjacent gates and passengers have to cross our boarding path... yeah! really well organized.
On my track to gate 27
Flying to ZRH? Yes, please, come in
Gate 27 entrance
Good bye LHR!
Boarding is finished and the usual newspaper, towel and water is distributed among the passengers.
We line up for take off behind an AA B763 and when our turn comes we climb directly to the skies with a higher rate climb than the one we had that morning. we turn left and as soon as we reach 3,000 feet we encounter the first clouds. We keep climbing until 5,400 feet where our altitude is frozen, so is the sound from the engines, for a while. We keep like this for a while until the engines spool up and we reach the 10,000 border when the crew is released and service is prepared.
Climbing over English countryside
Plastic silverware out of LHR... not very nice.
The Captain has announced a 38,000 feet flight and the weather conditions before take off. The usual communication from the FO, middle flight is performed as well annoncing an on time landing.
One of the many Swiss lakes
Nice Swiss countryside
Nice sight on the way to ZRH
Safest backpack on board
Service is the usual cold meal, with the nice crew refilling our cups every time they are empty. Very nice.
Who said you can only grow crops in your fields?
Purser, that plane is following us
As we land in ZRH we get to see those advert cut fields along the landing path... really neat. Interflora is on sight, no Victorinox this time.
We are parked on a remote stand and now comes the funny part, we disembark, take the bus to the terminal, go through passport control, climb the stairs to reach the main shopping area, go through security to get to A4... that basement where usually Avros, CR7, CR9... are boarded by bus. But today is time for bigger ones: our A321 and some others are there, so huge lines are formed. We take the bus and taken to the plane next to the one I had just flown.
I get the feeling we are at ZRH, don't you?
My previous plane as I was boarding my ride to BCN
BCN, next stop
27 August
17.45 - 19.05
HB-IOC -- Eiger
Gate A4
Seat 5F
Doors are secured and locked. Amenities distributed: newspaper, water and refreshing towel. The plane is full. I am sitting next to a Swedish man living in Sitges and we have a great talk during the whole flight about flying and companies, airports.... it is nice to find some one to talk to when you are on planes for long days.
We take off from runaway 16 and we climb until we are able to cross the Alps towards the Meditarranean sea and directly towards BCN.
Service is performed on time, gently... another cold plate with drinks a plenty. Nice crew and very smooth flight.
Information from the cabin came during taxi and middle flight, as typical in all LX flights.
We land on time at BCN and taxi towards BCN T1.
I say goodbye to the crew, thank them for the flight and get to the baggage claim where I ahve to wait about 15 min. for my luggage to come out, obviously not a nice sign. Now the terminal is empty, what will happen after Oct. 25 when all the major carriers will be there?
It is over now. I may write some older TRs if I have the time. I am quite behind.
Thanks for reading and please leave any comments you like.

China Auto Sales May Decline 10% This Year, Center Says
China's auto sales may fall 10 percent this year with the end of government stimulus policies and restrictions on car licenses, according to the China Automotive Technology & Research Center.
Industrywide vehicle deliveries fell for the first time in 27 months in April, as the government raised fuel prices, cities implemented controls to curb traffic and Japan's record earthquake slowed deliveries. Total auto sales declined 0.25 percent to 1.55 million units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
"The exit of government stimulus policies was abrupt, judging from the current effects," said Zhao Hang, president of the center, which assists the government in formulating auto industry standards and policy research. "The slowdown of auto sales in the first four months was due to the phase-out of government stimulus policies and measures to tackle traffic jams," he said in an interview in Beijing today.
Zhao's forecast for industry sales to decline contrasts with a forecast for growth to trail the nation's gross domestic product by the manufacturers association. The government's official target is for 8 percent economic growth this year.
State subsidies and buying incentives aimed at boosting consumer demand in the wake of the 2008 global recession helped China overtake the U.S. as the world's largest vehicle market in 2009.
China's domestic automakers will be affected more by the slowdown given their products are aimed more at the mid- to low-end market segments, Zhao said. He declined to say what measures should be taken to reverse a decline.
The government may release a development plan for alternative-energy autos soon, he said, without elaborating.

Everyone knows it takes two to tango, and the Detroit Tigers have had several combinations that have danced their way to stardom together.
Detroit has a rich history of offensive power in the franchise's 113-year history, and boasted several duos that stood above the rest and struck fear in opposing pitchers.
A dominant duo in a team's starting lineup has the ability to make the whole roster better, and make life very difficult for opposing teams.
Here are the five best hitting duos in Tigers history:

Villa Maria turns up defensive pressure in second half
MEADVILLE -- Villa Maria coach Doug Chuzie is just happy the Victors are moving on to the District 10 Class AAA championship game.
After a rough first half, the Victors' defense locked down Hickory in the second half as Villa held off the Hornets 49-37 in the District 10 Class AAA semifinals Wednesday in front of 600 fans at Meadville High School.
"This time of year, you're just worrying about surviving and advancing," Chuzie said. "There are no style points right now. It's an honor to compete in the D-10 championship, with all of the strong competition in D-10 Class AAA. Hopefully, we come out and compete hard on Saturday."
Villa (22-2) moves on to the D-10 title game Saturday against Region 5 champion Franklin at 2:30 p.m. at Meadville High School. The Knights beat Mercyhurst Prep 60-45.
Hickory (20-4) hung tough with Villa throughout the first half, and the teams went into halftime tied 23-23.
The Victors responded by allowing only one field goal over the first 10 minutes of the second half to start pulling away.
"We came together in the second half and played as a team," Villa junior Shanice Morris said. "We knew we had to get around and in front the post at all times and prevent them from going inside."
Villa's strong defensive effort in the second half led to a 14-4 run to give the Victors a 39-30 lead early in the fourth quarter. Villa put the game away by hitting 7-of-8 from the free-throw line in the final quarter and finished 16-of-18 from the line.
Morris was part of a tough inside combination with Indiana recruit Karlee McBride. The two were able to neutralize Hickory's size and dominate the paint.
McBride led all scorers with 17 points, including 10 in the first half, while Morris added 11. Leah Bennett scored six points in the first half and finished with eight, while Lindsey Mifsud added seven.
Villa also received two big second-half baskets from Amesha Harden-Pullium, who finished with six points.
"Shanice and Amesha are two juniors that put the work in at the gym and love the game of basketball," Chuzie said.
Nikki Arbanas paced Hickory with 14 points, and Holly Grober added 13.
The Victors will play for a D-10 championship in their first year since moving up from Class AA.
"I'm excited," Morris said. "That's the only way I can describe it."

When Our Toddlers Don't Measure UpMadeline Holler
Wilson Diehl knows her daughter is a genius. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell. Her daughter isn't speaking as much as her peers. She hasn't done much that would technically qualify as "dazzling." This weighs at bit on Diehl.
I know exactly how she feels. It's hard not to feel a twinge of panic when those oh-so-important milestones aren't hit until well after everyone else. To realize our stunningly clever babies — how they smiled! How they held that spoon! — are just average. Here's what I wrote a few years ago about how we really feel about being average:
Like everyone else who grew up watching Oprah, I talk a good game about personal best and individual achievements. As if being good enough is, well, good enough. The truth is: we don't celebrate the average Joe or Jane. We're bored by Average. We pity it. We're in a world of super stars, stunning beauty, unquestionable gift, real genius. Average is bland and difficult to market; it doesn't pop on a resume. Experts and coaches and teams of handlers are hired to kick Average up a notch, to give Average a makeover, to give it an edge. And we cringe for Below Average, which gets eliminated in the first round or swiftly voted off by its peers. Most of the time, Below Average doesn't even compete.
I spent even more time than I admitted in my essay being stressed out about my Frances, but let me assure you that now? It's all good. Way good. At 6, she's clever and motivated and stubborn and self-assured. Oh, and she's walking and she talks (in case I left anyone hanging).
I've thought a lot about how Frances had carved out her own toddler timeline and I think about it when it dawns on me that Earl hit those milestones even later than my "average" girl. He didn't really talk until after he was 2. He's still got a sort of caveman cadence when he speaks. When my girls were his age, blab, blab, blab all the time. Complete sentences! Profound (-ish) insight! Earl though? He wants to reminisce on a shuttle bus we rode during the summer. But it's there, somewhere, I can see it now — now that I'm not really worried about it.
I would never try to talk Diehl or anyone else out of their feelings about how their kids are progressing. Because I get it. Diehl's even more honest about it than I was:
Perpetually holding ourselves to the highest, or at least next-higher, standard keeps us from becoming complacent, bored, bogged down in our own mucky mediocrity. As difficult and exhausting as it is to self-motivate, it would be way harder in a vacuum.
It's a sickness, this competitive thing. I genuinely believe that my kid is awesome and amazing and super smart and attentive and silly and has the capacity to do anything she wants in life (save for being a professional athlete, which does seem pretty unlikely, given her lack of innate physical prowess—e.g. when climbing the stairs she has to be reminded to move her hand forward on the railing before ascending the next step—says her mother as she trips over her computer cord on the way to the bathroom). When it's just us two hanging out at home, I have no concerns about her intellectual or verbal or animal-naming abilities at all. I know she's fine. More than fine, even.
But show me a child her age talking in complete sentences, and a terrible, familiar feeling begins to settle in — an itchy, uncomfortable feeling of not measuring up, not being quite right, not being okay or worthy or able.
Has your toddler's development ever caused you to worry? Have you ever wished once, just once!, your toddler would outdo some other kid at playgroup?

Temp SC, 10.16.2012
Reviewer: Clyde Black (Parrish, FL)
Tempo SC worked very well. I applied Tempo SC around the perimeter of the house and in the screened porch. The next day I went out on my porch and found many bugs resting on their backs with feet up. This is the first time I used Tempo SC and I am impressed with the results.
Effective for Scorpion Control in Central Texas, 8.20.2012
Reviewer: Leonard Kramer (Sequin, TX)
This product was recommended for scorpions by a building contractor near Seguin, Texas. Even though my house construction is new and very tight, a few scorpions could still find their way in. I mixed this product at the rate of 14 ml. per gallon of water and applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer. The application was all around the exterior from the ground to about 2 feet above ground level. And interior on the floor, 1 foot around the floor baseboard including carpeted areas. I used two gallons of mixture total. During the treatment I found two live scorpions inside the house and captured them. I observed that they were impaired by the chemical right away but that it takes several days for them to die. Another one came out during the night and crawled across a ceramic tile floor. It appeared to move slowly and with impaired and abnormal movements. I left the house unoccupied for 1 week and when I returned I could not find any more scorpions (either dead ones or alive.) It also appears to have knocked down the cricket and deer fly population around the exterior. The product is odorless and appears to be effective for scorpions. I am still looking to see how long the product residual is effective. So far I have not seen any scorpions but it has only been 3 weeks. I've also used it in Houston for roaches and it is much more effective than anything I've ever gotten from retail sellers..
Very effective, 12.3.2011
Reviewer: Douglas DiNunzio (Charlotte, NC)
I moved into a rental home that had an infestation of spiders, sliverfish, ants, and some things I couldn't even identify. I mixed up a batch and hit the garage and the foundation hard. One treatment has already made a very noticeable difference. This is exactly the kind of product I was looking for. I highly recommend this!
Simply the Best, 7.4.2011
Reviewer: Duke (Flower Valley, TX)
This is the stuff the pros don't want you to know about. Effective indoors and outdoors. Residual kill without odor. Just mix, spray per the label, and witness great results.
Tempo for all bugs, 6.1.2011
Reviewer: Jacqueline Stufflebean (Rockport, TX)
This is a superior product that takes care of all bugs we have found and as long as you let it dry it is good with pets also. This was the first time we ordered from you folks and the service was fast and the site worked flawlessly even for a beginner. Thanks for good old fashion great service.
Tempo Ultra SC is Great For Desert Pests, 6.27.2010
Reviewer: Horizon City/El Paso, TX Customer for Life (Horizon City, TX)
I have used Tempo Ultra SC in my home for years and absolutely love it for all my desert pest control needs both in and out side of my home. It works great and I don't know of a better product. As far as ePestSolutions.com - Wow! I cannot believe how quickly I received my product (less than 5 days). I have always been reluctant to order products online, but your price for Tempo was so much better than the price at local businesses, it was worth taking the risk and your "A" rating with the BBB helped ease my reluctancy. I am so impressed with your organization, I will not only order again, but will refer everyone I know. Thank you for setting the standards of how online businesses should operate.
Great Stuff!, 6.13.2010
Reviewer: Steve Brown (Shelby, NC)
I have tried everything to get rid of Box Elder bugs and nothing has worked until now. This stuff is fantastic! It killed the box elder bugs along with the ants we had around our house. Thanks for a great product!
Great results, 11.4.2009
Reviewer: Rob Wanderscheid (Maricopa, AZ)
I was referred to this insecticide by the company performing pest control at my home. I am able to save a great deal of money by purchasing direct and applying the product myself. The product is performing as stated.

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
It's All About Validation
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Once a company decides that a pre-IDE meeting is appropriate, it needs to determine when to hold the meeting. Some companies like to have meetings at an early stage, so they can introduce FDA to their technology and aspirations. In general, these meetings are not terribly productive. They do allow the company to meet some of the reviewers, and begin educating them on some of the novel features of the technology. FDA staffers are invariably polite and curious, and ask some good, probing questions.
Early meetings typically do not lend themselves to gaining targeted FDA feedback. They are more didactic, and less regulatory focused. Thus, while these meetings allow companies to put faces with names and familiarize FDA with their product and technology, the sponsor usually receives little information that will facilitate the clearance or approval process.
A company is better served if its pre-IDE meeting provides a forum for gaining feedback from FDA on well-defined questions. This requires there to be some crystallization of the company's plans. Going into a meeting and asking FDA an open-ended question about what to do is a sure-fire way of courting trouble. For example, the company should never ask FDA what kind of clinical study to conduct; the company should seek FDA's comments on the company's own proposal. Therefore, a company should not ask to meet until it is prepared to provide to FDA an intended use (See GEN, November 15, 2008 "Adroit Crafting of Intended Use Critical"), a study population, a protocol, plans for preclinical testing, and a statistical plan.
Companies may also propose a regulatory pathway. There can be huge time and cost advantages in 510(k) review or de novo approval instead of a PMA (See GEN, August 2008, "Regulatory Pathways for Molecular Dx"). During the pre-IDE meeting, the FDA may indicate receptiveness toward a 510(k) or the de novo route. Other times, FDA will unequivocally state that a PMA is needed. This news may be unwelcome, but receiving it earlier helps planning and may provide an opportunity to revise the intended use and clinical protocol to restore the possibility of a 510(k). Other times, FDA will say that the classification decision must await the results of the study.

SALEM - A "Cure for the Wintertime Cruisin' Blues" is set for the American Legion hall in Sebring from 5 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 11.
It will be held by the Salem Arby's cruise organizers. This is the fourth wintertime cruise. The Sebring American Legion hall is located at 395 W. California Ave.
Fundraising activities will be conducted. The beneficiary will be announced the night of the cruise.
The Arby's weekly Saturday evening cruise-ins raise money and collects non-perishable food donations for the Salem Community Food Pantry.
In 2013, the Arby's cruises raised 100,000 pounds of food, a goal that far exceeded the 2012 total of 86,000 lbs.
In 2011, the cruise collected 57,000 pounds and during its first year it collected 18,500 lbs.
Also during the 2013 cruise season, organizer Gene Johnson said, "We made it to the fifth position in top 10 in the 126 to 275 car cruise category of Cruisin' Times Magazine."
Cruisin' Times Magazine is the largest cruising magazine in the midwest. This will be the fourth year for the Arby's car cruises which is expected to officially begin in May.
For the wintertime cruise, guests can bring a picture of a car and display it for a chance to win a trophy.
There will be a 50/50 drawing and door prizes for people who register a car photo or who donate. Special baskets will be auctioned and the music venue will include oldies.
Also next Saturday, Jan. 4, the cruise will hold its first meeting at 5 p.m. at the Salem Arby's to lay out plans and goals for the 2014 cruising season. Arby's is located at 2320 E. State St.
The annual theme for the cruises is, "If it's got wheels bring it" and anyone, even if they don't cruise or have a car, is invited to stop and "hang out and have a little fun out there," Johnson said. "We are also going to do two road cruises this summer with three stops on each cruise.,"
Last year, Salem Tire Service, which sells Goodyear tires and Arby's donated to the pantry while the cruise held special nights highlighting various auto makes and putting the spotlighting on categories of cars like rat rods, modern muscle cars and antiques along with honoring the 60th birthday of the Corvette. Certain cruise nights featured live band entertainment throughout the season.
Admission to the cruises is free to the general public. For a donation of $2 or two cans of food people can get a ticket for door prize giveaways. About 20 door prizes are given away each Saturday.
The Arby's Cruise Facebook page alerts cruisers to go or no-go situations regarding the weather with red and green lights. The Facebook page, which was started in March of 2013, has 2,875 "friends" and 62 "followers" and received a "thumbs up" from west coast custom motorcycle builder Jesse James.

Montreal should soon have its very own Empire State Building-style observatory.
Private developers are planning on a multi-million dollar project to revamp the top floors of Place Ville Marie to turn it into a high-tech observatory.
"I think Montreal deserves to be in the big leagues," said Claude Sirois, executive vice president of Ivanhoé Cambridge, one of the partners in the project which is inspired by such tourist attactions as the observation decks of the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center.
Once the playground of restaurant goers and club kids, the old Altitude 737 club/restaurant and surrounding areas will be transformed into a paid tourist attraction that'll include a restaurant, possibly a lounge, heated outdoor terraces, as well as a permanent exhibition on Montreal attractions and history with interactive screens and high-tech telescopes.
"To allow the Montreal people to take back the roof of Montreal and also for the numerous tourists who come to Montreal to have a taste of Montreal," Sirois told CJAD 800 News.
The Bronfman family and its investment arm, Claridge, are among the stakeholders.
Sirois would not confirm the estimated price tag of the project of over $10-million dollars. He is hoping for an opening in June of next year.

Eckstine, who also played valve trombone, became a major attraction with the Hines orchestra with his exquisite vocal renderings of ballads and intense performances of blues numbers like this, his best known tune with the band: "Jelly, Jelly" (1940) The performance is robust and bluesy, but also smooth and even elegant.
A number of younger Hines sidemen were deep into the new bebop movement, among them Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Budd Johnson, Tommy Potter, Miles Davis, Fats Navarro, J.J. Johnson, Frank Wess, Gene Ammons, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Leo Parker and another fellow Pittsburgher Art Blakey (seen in the Eckstine Orchestra clips below). Eckstine, too, loved the sound and left Hines in 1943 to lead his own group.
Billy Eckstine and his Orchestra became the first big band to fully embrace bebop, the leader's smooth vocalizing giving them a commercial sheen that allowed them to survive for four years. This is "Rhythm in A Riff," a demonstration of the bop band at their best and most blazing.
He capably handles vocals on the pop standard "Prisoner of Love" and "Lonesome Lover Blues."
Eckstine dissolved the band to go solo in 1947. From then on his rich baritone was the focus. It lent itself to romantic ballads, Like Nat King Cole, his s appeal transcended race. These were two of his biggest pop hits: his 1949 rendering of "Blue Moon" (the same song The Marcels later made famous with a dramatically different treatment).
And "My Foolish Heart," a hit single in 1950.
Eckstine was also a fashion trend-setter, as his rolled-collar dress shirts became popular as "Mr. B" style shirts among hip dressers in the late 40's.
This rendition of the timeless ballad "September Song" from a TV performance is Eckstine at his peak.
Eckstine's records, like those of Nat Cole, who'd gained his first notice as a titan of jazz piano, downplayed his jazz roots to attract wider appeal, but he never abandoned jazz. Case in point: when Cole briefly hosted a 1950's NBC variety show, he had freedom to select guests and present jazz and return to the keyboard. Eckstine joined him on one show, where they perform Earl Hines's "Rosetta," allowing them to demonstrate still-formidable jazz chops. Not sure what that last instrument is Billy's playing, but it sure sounds more like a trombone than a sax.
In the 1960's or early 70's, Eckstine made another TV appearance, this one probably from the "Playboy After Dark" TV series. Sadly, his perfunctory attempt to sound relevant doing contemporary material clearly unsuited to his style, don't work well. This is the sort of thing Columbia Records wanted Tony Bennett to do during this same time. Tony refused.
Eckstine's later musical career wasn't nearly as fulfilling, as he found himself recording for Motown. Too often, singing songs like the above that simply didnt fit his timeless style. He never found the redemption of a Bennett, who enjoyed a career revival that made him a favorite with multiple generations. Eckstine deserved a better finish.
Jazz critic Will Friedwald said as much in his book A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, "In performance, Eckstine was still remarkable, but unfortunately his final recordings seem to capture all the shortcomings and little of his elder statesman majesty."
PS. That State historical marker for Eckstine was placed in part due to the efforts of the late and sorely lamented WDUQ.
Eckstine, who'd suffered a stroke that ended his performing career, was 78 when he died in Pittsburgh in 1993.

Under this head, I include the cases described under many different names and by numerous writers, e. g., arthritis deformans (German), osteo-arthritis (English), hypertrophic arthritis (Goldthwait), degenerative arthritis (Nichols and Richardson). This is the so-called senile form of arthritis, the "chronic rheumatism" of the elderly, the metabolic form of arthritis. Other writers have employed other terms, almost without number.
The subject is a most confused one, so confused that, in reading an article, one is often at a loss to understand the author's meaning, whether he is really discussing this disease or one entirely different.
Generally, the name employed is one that describes the characteristic which the author deemed most important, but it often turns out to be a misnomer in the light of subsequent investigation, and is thus a source of confusion. Thus "arthritis deformans," a mixture of Greek and Latin, means different things to different people.1 Again,

Gung Ho or Gone Hu?
Gung-Ho or Gone-Hu?
OVER the weekend one of the country's leading dailies carried a story that added an interesting angle to that $465.5-million cyber education project that Gloria Arroyo suddenly found to be a very attractive substitute for the aborted $330-million ZTE broadband network deal.
A memorandum of agreement for the CEP signed by Trade Secretary Peter Favila and Dr. Kang Ke Jung, a representative of a Chinese company called Tsinghua Tongfang Nuctech Company (Nuctech) in Boao, China, in April, caught the attention of ACT (Alliance of Concerned Teachers), a teachers' organization opposed to Mrs. Arroyo's new pet project.
The teachers could not understand why Mrs. Arroyo readily accepted China's designation of a company that was not known for education or the use of satellites for delivering classroom lectures through television.
Nuctech specializes in manufacturing x-ray equipment for container vans, a technology more useful for customs inspections than long-distance classroom education.
Jesli Lapus, the education secretary, said there was nothing anomalous about the agreement or the choice of Nuctech.
"Tsinghua Holdings of Tsinghua University owns at least 100 subsidiary companies involved in technology, including Tsinghua Tongfang Nuctech. The bottom line is Tsinghua University, the undisputed leader in open and distance learning, is the Chinese government's designated contractor for the project, subject, of course, to pertinent Philippine laws," he insisted.
But there's a wrinkle in Lapus' explanation. The president of Nuctech is Hu Haifeng, the son of President Hu Jintao of China.
A closer look at the cancelled ZTE deal will show why Gloria Arroyo prefers tied loans with China to similar arrangements with the US or with private corporations that offer to build, operate, and transfer (BOT) at no cost and no financial risk to the government.
US companies like Arescom submit above-the-table bids because the US has tough laws on American companies that engage in bribery and kickbacks to foreign governments. That makes American proposals very unattractive to Mrs. Arroyo's administration.
BOT bidders like Amsterdam Holdings cannot dole out unlimited bribes and kickbacks because they have a profit margin to worry about. Amsterdam Holdings backed out of a partnership with Abalos because the company could not afford to carry the $100-million-plus overprice that certain parties wanted included in their BOT bid.
So that leaves China, a one-party state where the government holds a majority stake in big companies like ZTE and Nuctech, and where the only ones who can ask questions are the people who should be asked questions.
Government-owned companies in China are like our government-owned corporations—party faithful and retired cops and soldiers run them. Consequently, tied loans guaranteed by foreign governments are good for the communist party bigwigs.
That's why Hu Jintao offered billions of dollars to Gloria Arroyo on condition that she reverse her policy to develop the country's infrastructure through BOT projects and sign-no-bid contracts with companies he picked. Simply put, Hu names the company, and Gloria names her price.
It's clear why ZTE got the deal and why the original contract price of around $160 million ballooned to $330 million. It's just as obvious why Gloria Arroyo and Hu Jintao are so excited about the cyber-education deal: "Everybody make more money, everybody more happy."
Except the Filipino people, who will pay out the billions that will put a smile on the face of Gloria Arroyo and her newfound Chinese cohort.

Killer Bodies?
Pumped-Up Cover Models Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan Are Charged in the Slaying of Their Personal Assistant
Within hours Titus, 40, was charged with the Dec. 14 murder of Melissa James, 28, with whom, police say, Titus has admitted to having an affair. The muscleman, 1996's Mr. USA, whose pumped-up physique has appeared on the cover of dozens of bodybuilding magazines, is accused of stuffing James's bound body into the trunk of his wife's Jaguar and setting it on fire. Ryan, 33, was charged as an accessory along with the couple's friend Anthony Gross, 23, who allegedly bought fuel for the fire, according to police. (Lawyers for Titus and Ryan did not respond to calls for comment.)
The murder sent shock waves through the tight-knit world of muscle modeling. "It's a sad situation," says Frank Bohm, a bodybuilding promoter from Vancouver who has known Titus for years. "He was very hotheaded, but Kelly is just the sweetest thing." Titus, who spent two years in prison for drug-related offenses in the late'90s, had moved to Vegas to find new business opportunities as his strongman career wound down. "He sounded perfectly normal. He sounded upbeat," says Ron Avidan, who runs a bodybuildingweb site and spoke with Titus Dec. 12. "I'm stunned by all this."
Of course, stunned doesn't begin to describe Maura James's feelings after learning of the death of her daughter Melissa. Maura says she last spoke to Melissa on Dec. 13, the day her daughter planned to fly home for the holidays. When Melissa failed to get off her flight and calls to her cell phone went unanswered, "I really started to worry," Maura says. In fact, at just about that time, cops were finding Melissa's charred body in the trunk of Ryan's car along a lonely stretch of highway 30 miles southwest of Las Vegas.
According to the Dec. 20 arrest warrant issued for Titus and Ryan, in the early hours of that morning, Titus made 14 phone calls from his cell phone between 12:18 a.m. and 1:41 a.m., and surveillance footage from a Wal-Mart allegedly shows Ryan buying seven cans of charcoal lighter. At 3:28 a.m., according to the police document, Titus called his friend Gross, who allegedly told police he left home in his pajamas and purchased a can of gasoline. Gross then drove to a rendezvous outside Las Vegas and handed the can to Titus, who walked away. Moments later, Titus returned, jumped into the backseat of Gross's vehicle and yelled, "Go, go, go!" Gross told cops he didn't see a fire.
Interviewed after James's body was found, Titus and Ryan told police they fired James Dec. 13 because she had been embezzling from them and that she had returned that night and stolen Ryan's Jaguar. Although suspicious—the couple hadn't reported the car missing—police released the couple due to lack of evidence. An arrest warrant was issued after interviews with the couple's friends turned up inconsistencies in their story. Given the success the suspects enjoyed in bodybuilding, Las Vegas homicide Lt. Tom Monahan says he finds it hard to imagine they may have blown it all with one senseless act—but that's where the evidence points, he says. "I suppose life's a game of Chutes and Ladders," says Monahan. "They climb to the top, and then, I guess, they hit one of the chutes."
Titus and Ryan arrive at Stoughton District Court on Dec. 27; Ryan changed her appearance after the crime, dying her hair from blonde to brunette. Police say Gross was a bodybuilder groupie.

Trying to Salvage Mementos in Staten Island
By Dana Mattioli
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.– Tracy Abruzzo is standing next to a blue bucket that holds the remnants of her home.
The house itself, which just a week ago stood on Tottenville's Yetman Avenue, just a stone throw's away from the beach, is gone, leaving only a rectangular foundation.
But she's managed to fill the bucket halfway up with baby photos of her two daughters, ages six and eight, homemade cards, a few trinkets — the handful of mementos she's been able to salvage from the wreckage.
Her husband, Michael, is picking up pieces of wood and stacking them in front of the home with a number of neighbors that have shown up to lend a hand. He turns around to his wife holding a bent, soaked, brown-stained card that in crayon says, "Happy Mother's Day."
Ms. Abruzzo pleads with her husband to keep it. He tries to reason with her, saying that it's covered in mud. In the end, she wins. Into the blue bucket it goes.
As Staten Islanders pick up the pieces of what's been spared by the waves that made rubble of their homes, there's a pressing question on many of their minds: Whether to rebuild or leave.
For Ms. Abruzzo, her mind is made up. She and her family will move. Despite barricading their home with sandbags, moving all their belongings to the second floor and sealing the windows with caulk – the Abruzzo's home was ripped apart by Sandy and tossed upside down. Hers is one of many empty lots on Yetman Avenue where homes once stood. Now, Ms. Abruzzo is looking for a place to rent.
The final insult on Wednesday, a day after Ms. Abruzzo found her home and family's memories torn apart — she had to write a check for her mortgage.
"Do you know how hard it was to write a check for a home that's no longer here?" she said.
Janice Gallo, who on Saturday was unloading a truck of clothing and supplies to replace the ones her family had lost, said she will likely leave as well.

Ms. Gallo decided to stay in her home with her husband and four kids thinking the storm would be similar to Hurricane Irene, during which many resident evacuated only to find little damage when they returned. A few minutes before 8 p.m. on Monday, a friend called and told her to look out the window. Swells were beginning to rise. Shortly after, Ms. Gallo said, water was filling her den.
The family scrambled to the third floor of the home as the water rose. "I sat on the floor praying in the dark," she said. Her husband started to clear out the attic in case they needed to go higher.
By midnight, the waters had calmer a bit but were still high. She sat in a window on a third floor looking out for help. At 3:30 a.m., the Coast Guard showed up in boats. She and her family climbed aboard from the third floor window.
Ms. Gallo has lived in the house for 11 years, but said the thought of staying is daunting.
"I don't think I'll stay here," she said.
Ronnie Loesch's Midland Beach home is covered in mud and condemned. The 59-year-old post-office clerk had recently paid it off. Now, it was covered in debris with the refrigerator toppled over and broken items stacked high.
"I can't ever retire now," Ms. Loesch said as she walked through the remains on Saturday.
Like many Staten Islanders, she's awaiting word from insurers and help from federal authorities. Many in the community, which has long borne the moniker "the forgotten borough," feel help was late to arrive and face a lengthy cleanup.
"Don't let them forget us, please," Ms. Loesch said.

Jamie Langenbrunner and Brent Sutter will be on the ice Saturday morning when Devils veterans take part in their first practice session of training camp at the Prudential Center.
Hopefully for the team, the captain and the coach are also on the same page.
Sutter, who was a rookie NHL coach last season, and Langenbrunner, named Devils captain on Dec. 15, didn't always see eye-to-eye. There was one incident in early February in which the two exchanged words on the bench, but it is the words exchanged in numerous conversations this summer that may prove most important.
"I wouldn't say there was tension," Langenbrunner said Friday. "I would say there was a little process in how to communicate to each other. I think during the offseason we figured that out and I think we understand each other very well.
"Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing's perfect. But we're on the same page and there is no issue."
Sutter said there were frustrations on the part of both last season.
"It was a trial period for myself and for Jamie," the coach explained. "There has never been anything from my side of it. I've never taken anything personal. I respect people's emotions. I think the talks we had were more because the line of communication can be better between everyone."
Throughout the season, Sutter denied it was no different than coaching junior players. Langenbrunner suggested that NHL players have to be treated differently than junior players.
"It was just something that takes time, Brent understanding every player on our team and us understanding him," Langenbrunner said. "After a year we have a better understanding of what he expects from us. In turn, he knows how certain guys need to be treated."
Perhaps a guy like Patrik Elias, who was stripped of his captaincy even before Langenbrunner got the "C." Elias will wear an "A" this season.
"That was obviously a tough situation no matter how they dealt with it," Langenbrunner said. "Losing the captaincy was obviously hard on him. I don't think he was ever treated in a bad way, but it's difficult. We get along fine. Seeing Patty named alternate captain is great."
Elias said: "You can't really pay attention to the situation with the letters last year. It's an honor to get an 'A,' but you never know how long I'll have it."
As for Langenbrunner and Sutter, both have learned something.
"I think it was a somewhat frustrating year for Jamie because of (trying to overcome surgery for a sports hernia)," Sutter said. "Never did I feel there was high-level tension between me and Jamie, but maybe it was part my fault. I wanted to leave him alone so he could sort things out. Maybe there were times I could've helped him through it."
Barry Tallackson, who has played 16 games for the Devils and is hoping to earn a spot on the club this season, missed the past two days of minor league camp because of an apparently minor heart scare. Tallackson, 25, said there was an irregularity and the team conducted further tests to make sure he was okay.
"There was a little flutter," Tallackson revealed. "They wanted to make sure I was okay. Everything is fine, so I'll be back (Saturday)."
Larry Robinson spoke for the first time Friday about why he will not be back behind the bench as an assistant coach. He said his relationship with Sutter is "terrific," but he wants to spend more time at home with his wife. He is now a special assignment scout.
"I felt it was time to start thinking about my wife (Jeannette), not just about myself," Robinson said. "She found the winters long. This had nothing to do with Brent or the team."

Pat Dean (born May 25, 1989) was drafted in the 3rd Round of the 2010 draft out of Boston College. The left handed starter was signed for $319,500 by the Twins. In 2010, Dean dominated the rookie ball circuit by posting a 2-2 record with a 2.15 ERA, striking out 37 batters and walking 1 batter in 29 1/3 innings between the GCL Twins and E-Twins. In 2010, Baseball America ranked Dean the 16th best prospect in the Appy League. Dean started 2011 with the Snappers, where he posted a 2-0 record with a 2.86 ERA in 8 starts before being promoted to the Miracle. Dean struggled the rest of the way in Ft Myers posting a 3-6 record with a whopping 6.67 ERA in 11 starts, with opponents posting a .332 AVG against Dean. Dean made one token start at New Britain in 2011. 2012 will be a big year for Dean. The Twins assigned him to start the season in Ft. Myers with the Miracle. As a college pitcher, it is time to start moving up the ladder and put the dreadful finish to 2011 behind him. To date, Dean has posted an 0-1 start with a 4.18 ERA in 4 starts with the Miracle, giving up 26 hits in 23.2 innings, walking 4 and striking out 13. Opponents are hitting .286 off of Dean. In his last start on Sunday, Dean pitched 6 innings and surrendered 5 runs, all in the 5th inning, leaving the game while leading 7-5. Unfotunately, the bullpen coughed up the lead in a 9-8 loss to 1st place St. Lucie.

Dean took to the hill on Friday night against the Palm Beach Cardinals. Dean threw 7 impressive innings, surrendering 3runs on 7 hits. Dean walked four more batters while only striking out 1 batter. Dean took the loss in the 3-2 game and fell to 0-2 on the young season with a 4.25 ERA.

Pat Dean took to the hill for Miracle against the Palm Beach Cardinals on Wednesday night. While not figuring in the decision, Dean pitched his best game of the season. Dean surrendered 1 ER on 7 hits while striking out 3 and walking 2 in 7 impressive innings. The Miracle pulled out a 2-1 victory. Dean lowered his ERA to 3.68 on the year.

Thanks for the updates TK. It's nice to have the updates in one location.

Pat Dean took to the mound today for the Miracle in an early game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers. Dean picked up his first win of the season in a 12-3 Ft. Myers victory. After surrendering 2 unearned runs in the first, Dean settled down to go 5 2/3 innings, being pulled after giving up 2 hits in the 6th inning. Bruce Pugh came in and struck out the final batter in the 6th to close the line on Dean. His line looked like this: 5 2/3 INN 1ER 7H. 2BB. 2K Dean improved his record to 1-2 and lowered his ERA to 3.40 in 7 starts for the Miracle. Dean has been impressive in his last two starts, surrendering just 2ER over his last two starts (12 2/3 INN). For Ft. Myers, the dormant bats have started to awaken with 25 runs over the past two games. DH Anderson Hidalgo led the Miracle attack with a 2B, HR(GS) and 6 RBI.

Pat Dean improved his record to 2-2 on the year as the Ft. Myers Miracle defeated the Charlotte Stone Crabs 3-1 on Saturday night. Dean lasted the minimum of 5 innings only surrendering one ER, but gave up 8 hits and 1 walk. While Dean won his second straight start, he gave up a lot of runners in those two starts. Dean did lower his ERA to 3.23 on the year. Dean was helped out by a 5-2-3 double play with the bases loaded and Oswaldo Arcia cutting a runner down at the plate. Dean is now 2-0 in his last three starts, giving up 3ER in 17 2/3 innings. Hopefully he can keep the progress going. The Miracle plated 2 runs in the top of the first on a 2-run double by Daniel Rohlfing. Kyle Waldrop pitched a scoreless inning in the game and Ricky Bowen picked up his second save.

Pat Dean is officially on a roll. He picked up his third win in his last four starts by winning a 2-1 pitching duel vs Brevard County. Dean's line was impressive. He gave up 1ER in 8 IP, walking 1 and striking out 8. Dean raised his record to 3-2 and lowered his ERA to 2.93 in the process. Dean has given only 1ER in each of his last four starts. Ricky Bowen picked up his third save. Oswaldo Arcia hit a 2-run HR to provide all of the offense that Dean needed on this night. Dean is beginning to look like he may get a callup in the next round of moves.

Dean toes the rubber for the Miracle on Wednesday night against the Clearwater Threshers. Dean continued his good hurling by pitching three innings, giving up two hits and striking out one. Unfortunately a rain delay ended Deans night. However, over his last 28 2/3 innings' Dean has surrendered only 4 ER and lowered his ERA to 2.78 on the year. I believe Dean will be moving up to New Britain at the midway point of the season.

assume there was a rain delaly to limit him to 3IP? He's been very good ......Dean to AA, Bromberg to AAA.

Yep, over an hour. I agree time to move Bromberg to AAA so that Dean can take his place

Dean....2 days after turning 23.... with another solid effort Sunday goin 5IP 3h 1er 1bb 0k & left with a 4-1 lead. Only went 5IP as he was on 3 days rest after leavin his last start after 3IP due to rain delay. Should be on verge of a callup also.

Pat Dean, pitching on short rest continued his mastery of the FSL. Dean threw 5 solid innings giving up 1 ER again and 3 hits. Dean was the winning pitcher in a 4-1 victory. Dean raised his record to 4-2 with a 2.70 ERA. In the last 33 2/3 innings, Dean has given up only 5 earned runs. With Manship being called up, that should set up some starters moving up and Dean should be headed to NBR soon

Bromberg has been called up to AAA, so I would think that Dean would be the corresponding callup. Dean has spent over a year at High A, so I think it's time to see what he has

Bromberg? Really?? I can see Dean at AA, though.

After posting a great May, Dean's first start in June was a stinker. On Saturday, Dean gave up 6 ER and 13 hits in 6 inn, taking the loss in a Miracle 10-5 loss to Daytona. Dean's record now stands at 4-3 on the year with a 3.25 ERA

Pat Dean was named to the FSL all star team. Congrats!

As hot as Dean was in May, June has been disappointing. Dean took the loss Thursday by giving up 5 ER and 7 hits in 5.3 innings, Dean dropped to 4-4 with a 3.43 ERA. Dean needs to steady itself to get his AA promotion.

Pat Dean picked up the win last night again St. Lucie thanks to his offense. Dean pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 5 ER and 9 hits to raise his record to 5-4 with an ERA of 3.74. Dean's last couple of outings have been less than stellar, although I expect a promotion sometime during the year.

Finally beating the rain, Pat Dean took to the hill trying to stop a mini skid, which he did. Dean (6-4) pitched 6 solid innings giving up 1ER and 4 hits while walking 2 and striking out two batters in a 6-2victory over the Tampa Yankees. Dean lowered his ERA to 3.59 for the season.

After starting off the season well, Pat Dean is spinning his wheels He stands at 6-6 with a 3.89 record. He doesn't miss bats though. With 120.1 innings pitched, he has given up 138 hits and walked 24 while striking out only 60. He has been a workhorse, but at 23, he may be falling out of prospect range.
