Too lazy to look for my Top Characters I want to see in Smash 4 so I will write this new list.
1. Tiki (Fire Emblem)
Because a want a Manakete for Super Smash Bros.
2. Little Mac (PunchOut!!)
His appearance in Smash is long overdue.
3. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
I want to see him back.
4. Shulk (Xenoblade)
The Monado would be awesome to use in Smash.
5. Ridley (Metroid)
The series needs a villain and another character.
6. Palutena (Kid Icarus)
The series needs more characters. Plus the rumor is fueling everyones hype for this character.
7. Masked Link (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Majora's Mask has been getting some attention recently (Mask in ALBW, Skull Kid Assist Trophy, ect.) and I would love to see Deku Link, Zora Link, and Goron Link as playable characters. Also the Final Smash would have to be Fierce Deity Link.
8. Avatar/My Unit/Robin (Fire Emblem: Awakening)
Like the Pokémon Trainer represents the trainers of Pokémon, Avatar represents the strategists of Fire Emblem. Plus the ability to use a Tome and a Sword would make for an interesting moveset. Also, maybe they will make Avatar both a male model and a female model like they did with the WiiFit Trainer.
9. Professor Layton
Because, why not.
10. Toon Zelda with either Tetra or Phantom Zelda (Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker or Spirit Tracks)
Tetra would be awesome but I would actually prefer Phantom Zelda, even though Spirit Tracks was not the most popular game. Toon Shiek is also an option but I would rather see a transformation that is unique to (and actually exists in) the Toon Zelda games.
11.Any Belmont (Castlevania)
Any Belmont would do but if Snake doesn't make it into Smash 4, Konami could throw this series into Smash.
12. Pac-Man
To have a game with so many company faces like Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man, having Pac-Man in that group would be the coolest thing ever. Odds are up because Namco is helping develop Smash 4.
13. Something Dragon Quest/Warrior
This series need more Western recognition. Plus that might motivate Nintendo or Square Enix whoever is in charge of translations, to move the DQX westward boosting the sales of Wii U.
Will edit when more come to mind.
Your inclusion of Ridley and Shulk earns you a like. Palutena is alright too. And I'll agree with Little Mac despite my personal indifference towards him.
1. Ghirahim
2. Miror B. Shulk
3. Ridley
4. Hades (less likely than Palutena, Pittoo and Magnus, but hey...also, screenshot confirms Viridi won't be playable)
Uh...that's it for now. I would have included characters like N and Bowser Jr. if I thought they were at all likely, but right now they don't seem to have much of a chance. Hope I didn't forget anyone.
In Awakening I wanted a Manakete child so I had to wed a Manakete to get one. Now I realize that Nowi is probably the better one because she passes on better stats.
I might just be saying this because I'm currently playing this series and really getting into it, but with SMT IV being on the 3DS, the first two games being on the Famicom, and with a new crossover with Fire Emblem is on the way, we should definitely see a Shin Megami Temsei character. Probably Flynn, the protagonist in the latest one. His move set could be based around demon summons. With a few of the lesser demonic looking demons in Smash Bros, like the Fairy, or Chargin, or Baphomet for a stronger one. Maybe he can summon ridiculously powerful demons for his final smash like Asmodeus and Koga Saburo.

Great stem for a rebuild
By AllTheCatsEver
from Providence, Rhode Island
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about NASHBAR COMFORT QUILL STEM:
I used this to rebuild an old Peugeot into a touring bike. The stems on those have a reputation for failure and the clamp is for the old 22.2 bars, aaaand French anything means "different from every other bike ever." It was a little too snug getting in but I wrapped some 100 grit sandpaper around it and sanded for maybe half an hour and it's perfect. Check first, it will fit some French bikes fine, and when sanding check often because you don't have to remove much. I got the medium size. It's a pretty upright sitting position now, and super comfortable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am setting up my wife's old Balance for my son who needs a bit less forward reach on the hard-tail MTB. This stem was a great price and provides the perfect geometry for him.

Again, this is awesome. I expected it to weight at least a half-pound more. Very surprising lightweight. Love the 2-bolt clamp for the handlebars, very sufficient for all but the most harsh off-road riders. Stylish, too. My recommendation is to get the longest one if you are converting an older bike to this quill stem and probably also buying the Nashbar flatbar. The short length is totally impractical unless you are riding totally upright like a statue, any other riding position and you will want probably the longest stem or at least the middle length.
Again, this is awesome. Very lightweight for what it is -- very surprising to me, I expected it to weight at least a half-pound more. Attractive, strong, and I like the 2-bolt clamp for the handlebars -- very sufficient for anyone who isn't riding offroad in tough environments.
Perfect Restoration Product
By tater
from Louisville, AL
About Me Competitive Cyclist
This is the best stem I have found for restoring older bikes. This stem adds instant comfort and the bolt on handlebar cap makes it much easier to change out handlebars. The only complaint I have is the color - almost 99% of the stems on the older bikes I restore are silver and the bike components and accessories are all aluminum and chrome and the black never looks as good as silver would.
Need a more Upright Seating Position?
By Tandem captain Pat & Mary Margaret
from Dearborn, MI
If your bike has a threaded headset and it forces you into a leaned over position that is hard on your back, here is a very good quality, inexpensive and lightweight fix. Substituting this stem for the bike's original will put you in a more comfortable upright position. If your older bike has a single bolt steel stem, it will save some weight too. Its double bolt on cap makes removing and adjusting the handlebars much easier also. The increase in air drag caused by the more upright position is slight. We have bought and installed several. Each one made their riders happier. The upright seating position does make the quality of the saddle more important to some riders. Fortunately, there are many inexpensive, better quality saddles available when compared to the typical OEM's low cost generic saddles.
By oldbiker
from usa
thank you nashbar for continuing to stock an affordable stem that keeps older bikes on the road. I have bought 2, one to raise the handlebard on a 1992 mtn bike and another to shorten the reach on a 1980's mtn bike. I will buy another for a touring bike build. Great quality and great value.
GREAT Replacement/Upgrade
By Chris
from Alameda, CA
About Me Commuter
This was a replacement/upgrade for a dreadful adjustable quill stem on a low-end Trek comfort bike. MUCH lighter, vastly more stable, and VERY reasonably priced. I can't recommend enough.
I needed 2-inches more for comfort.
By Doctor Don
from Enterprise, Oregon
This stem gave me the 2-inches of extra height that I needed for comfort on my mountain bike. This is an excellent product.
Quality Stem

Nice stem that finishes of my rebuild nicely.

Album Review
Although they had scored some success on the album charts (
Fool for the City
being their biggest success),
had always won the majority of their fans through their high-intensity live shows. Thus, when live albums became a salable rock music commodity in the wake of megahits like Kiss Alive and Frampton Comes Alive, it was only natural that
would release a live recording.
wisely restricts the running time to a single album (two album's worth of
's boogie rock, no matter how energetic, would probably have been too much), resulting in a tight set that flows effortlessly and showcases the group's strengths in the best possible light. Everything is delivered with an energy and intensity that would be impossible to capture in a studio: good examples are "Honey Hush," a frantic hard rock blitz delivered at twice the speed of the studio version, and "Home in My Hand," a stomping anthem whose live version adds an a cappella break that allows the group to show off some impressive vocal harmonies as they get the crowd fired up. Elsewhere, the group transforms hits like "Slow Ride" and "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" into guitar-fueled epics that allow the group to show off its mastery of hard rock's sonic pyrotechnics. The end result is one of
's finest albums because it cherry picks all the highlights of the band's catalog to that point and captures the band in its most natural and comfortable setting (i.e., in front of a group of adoring fans). These qualities make
a gem of 1970s hard rock and a necessity for anyone who wants to understand the appeal of

|-> Chapter 2 -> Freshwater -> Global overview
Water and sanitation
For many of the world's poorer populations, one of the greatest environmental threats to health remains the continued use of untreated water. While the percentage of people served with improved water supplies increased from 79 per cent (4.1 billion) in 1990 to 82 per cent (4.9 billion) in 2000, 1.1 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion lack access to improved sanitation (WHO and UNICEF 2000). Most of these people are in Africa and Asia. Lack of access to safe water supply and sanitation results in hundreds of millions of cases of water-related diseases, and more than 5 million deaths, every year (see box below). There are also large, but poorly quantified adverse impacts on economic productivity in many developing countries.
The importance of meeting basic human needs for water has always played a major role in water policy. One of the earliest comprehensive water conferences was held in 1977 in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The focus on human needs led to the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade 1981-90) and the efforts of the United Nations and other international organizations to provide basic water services (UN 2000). The concept of meeting basic water needs was reaffirmed during the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and expanded to include ecological water needs. A recent United Nations report (UN 1999) recognized that all people require access to adequate amounts of safe water, drinking, sanitation and hygiene. Most recently, the Second World Water Forum and Ministerial Conference in The Hague in 2000 (see box below) produced a strong statement from more than 100 ministers in support of re-emphasizing basic human needs as a priority for nations, international organizations and donors.
Providing urban dwellers with safe water and sanitation services has remained a particular challenge. Some 170 million developing country urban dwellers were provided with safe water and 70 million with appropriate sanitation during the first half of the 1990s but this had limited impact because about 300 million more urban residents still lacked access to safe water supply, while nearly 600 million lacked adequate sanitation by the end of 1994 (CSD 1997b). However, a major area of success in many developing countries is related to investments in wastewater treatment over the past 30 years which have 'halted the decline in - or actually improved - the quality of surface water' (World Water Council 2000b).

Juneau Convenes Fall Meeting of Student Advisory Board in Helena
Monday, October 28, 2013
By Allyson Hagen
Superintendent Juneau Convenes Fall Meeting of Student Advisory Board
Students to Focus on Student Wellness
Helena, MT - Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau will convene the Superintendent's Student Advisory Board (SAB) in Helena on Sunday and Monday, October 27 and 28. Students will gather Sunday evening at Exploration Works and at the Fish Wildlife and Parks (FWP) Wild Classroom at Spring Meadow Lake on Monday. The focus of the Fall meeting of the Student Advisory Board is student wellness, including healthy choices, personal safety, and mental well-being.
"Hearing from students about what is going on in their schools and getting their ideas about what we can do to help improve the education system has proven vital to my work," said Superintendent Juneau. "I'm interested in hearing from students about what they believe are the most critical health and safety issues for teens, how adults in their schools and communities can support them in staying safe and healthy, and what they can do as students to support each other."
The Student Advisory Board consists of 38 high school students from 33 Montana schools. It was created as part of Superintendent Juneau's statewide initiative, Graduation Matters Montana. Graduation Matters Montana aims to increase the number of Montana students who graduate from high school prepared for college and careers.
Student Advisory Board members were first nominated by local school and community members and also had to apply for selection to the board. The board members are traveling from rural communities such as Hobson and Absarokee and from large communities such as Helena and Billings.
WHAT: State Superintendent's Student Advisory Board Meeting
WHERE: FWP Wild Classroom at Spring Meadow Lake, 2668 Broadwater Ave, Helena
WHEN: Press is invited to attend the meeting between 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM, Monday, October 28
The Student Advisory Board agenda is available on the OPI website: http://www.opi.mt.gov/pdf/GradMatters/13FallSummit/13OctSABAgenda.pdf.
For a list of members of the 2013-2014 Student Advisory Board, go to: http://gmm.mt.gov/sab.

5 Unsettling Sub-Genres of Fan Art Lurking on the Internet
When fans of a movie or a character have some shred of artistic talent, they can't help but try to draw their own version of the thing they love. Go on Deviant Art, type in the name of your favorite fictional character, and you'll find art that fluctuates between incredible and laughable. Keep digging and strange patterns arise -- popular characters in peculiar situations or performing oddly specific actions. Notice it the first time, your eyes will open, and you'll start to notice it everywhere. That character you love is being drawn in a very specific way, doing a very specific thing, being drawn to act in a specific way, over and over. There's no reason for it.
And it's all usually crazy as shit. Or it exists for the internet's favorite reason: because. I have no idea why, but here are some examples of very specific directions fans have taken their fan art ...
#5. The Hulk Taking a Shit
Superheroes are so above and beyond the rest of us that fan artists occasionally like to knock them down a peg or two by drawing them into common situations that we all experience. Since there's nothing more common than taking a dump, why not draw the giant rage beast that is the Hulk as he takes a few minutes to drop a deuce?
Why can't Hulk feel a hint of shame as his immense weight turns a toilet into dust?
Why can't the Hulk encounter a flushing mishap after he blasts gamma-shit in someone else's toilet?
Why can't Hulk apply the same determination he uses to battle foes to move his bowels a little?
The poor guy must need fiber supplements or a stern cup of coffee to help those turds slip out of that immaculately-toned green ass of his; because even more than the act of pooping itself, fan artists specifically love making the Hulk put some fury into pooping, some real vein popping strain.
It's not limited to drawings. Here's a statue someone found in a shopping mall in Seoul, South Korea:
There's always a newspaper in his hands, always a shattered toilet, always a monumental struggle to shit. But some of us don't always use the toilet to shit. Sometimes we close the bathroom door, sit on the toilet lid, and we think. We contemplate. And so, too, does the Hulk.
But most of the time he's a furious shit monster.
#4. Fat Harry Potter
Harry Potter is skinny. Fans with varying degrees of artistic talent would prefer if he were fat. So, they drew Harry Potter if he were fat.
I'm pretty sure that was the extent of the thought process behind the tons of art depicting the normally rail-thin boy wizard as being too out of shape to do half the things he does in the books. What I find fun about this strange subculture of fan art is how each image, even if it's wordless, still tells its own silly little story.
For example, in this one:
A spell backfired on Harry and now he's been primed to rip some crazy magic farts.
In this one ...
I imagine that as Harry grew older, he grew a gut and some sass and became the cool Hogwarts professor male students can talk to about girls, in spite of the unconfirmed rumors that Professor Potter is gay.
In this one ...
Snape comforts Harry after the pressures of being The Boy Who Lived have finally caught up to him, and he learned a spell that materializes food out of thin air and materialized a feast into his body in a mad fit of stress eating.
And in this one ...
Oooh, man! The story here is great! You see, the three of them got fat.
#3. Disney Princesses Re-imagined as Anything Other than a Disney Character
Disney princesses are beloved, cherished, everlasting, a part of a well-balanced childhood pop cultural diet. Yet, for some reason, anyone who can draw would prefer Disney princesses if they were apart of absolutely any other franchise from any other corner of pop culture rather than their own.
It's so prevalent that I can Google the phrase "Disney princesses as..." followed by damn near any other property in existence; and you'll find Jasmine, Cinderella and the rest of the Disney pantheon of princesses as that thing. So, when writing this entry, I purposefully didn't do too much research. I will Google "Disney princesses as..." and fill in the blank with the first franchise I think of to see if there's crossover fan art. I'll present my findings whether the search is a success or a failure.
First search term: "Disney Princesses as Doctor Who."
Second search term: "Disney princesses as Mortal Kombat."
Third search term: "Disney princesses as Pokemon."
Fourth search term: "Disney princesses as Marvel characters."
Fifth search term: "Disney princesses as Star Wars."
It goes on and on: Street Fighter, Moulin Rouge, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
How about something else entirely? Disney princesses as high schoolers, as different ethnicities, as boys, as roller derby girls, as college students.
Artists want the princesses to be everything the artists love, maybe even a little bit of the artists themselves, and so they make it happen. They've been crossed over into pretty much every corner of life and nerdom. Everything. Except for steampunk, strangely enough.
Wait. That can't be. Let me Goog- ah, there it is!
Should have known better. It's practically a law of the internet: if it exists, there's a steampunk version of it somewhere.

"I think all of us have had such personal growth," Kim Kardashian told PEOPLE Wednesday at the Pre New Year's Party at Eve Nightclub in Las Vegas.
Though Kardashian herself went through some highs and lows – including breaking up and then reconciling with NFL beau Reggie Bush – she said the most memorable moments of 2009 for her were all about her sisters.
"My highlight was Kourtney having her baby and Khloe getting married. I can't choose. They're both equal," she said. "I think they've both grown up so much."
Looking ahead to 2010, Kardashian said she hopes to lose those few extra pounds that she put on during the holidays – and to see Bush go to the Super Bowl.
Her main goal for herself, though, is to focus on her career, specifically producing television. "That's something I really want to do next," she said. "I want to be outside my box and try different things."

Korea's Dementia Crisis
The tragic deaths this week of the father and grandparents of Lee Teuk, leader of K-pop boy band Super Junior, are raising calls for South Korea's government to do more to lighten the burden for dementia patient's families.
The superstar's father and grandparents were found dead at their home in southern Seoul. According to media reports, police said a note at the scene suggests Mr. Lee's 59-year-old father, who for several years had been sole caregiver for his parents—both suffering from dementia—committed suicide after killing them. The case is still under investigation.
The financial, physical and psychological stress of dealing with dementia is hitting more and more people in South Korea, where looking after these patients is widely regarded as a "family matter."
Taking care of one's parents is a Confucian value many South Koreans still strongly adhere to. Seeking outside help is deemed undutiful—not that such help is easily available. As the number of senile-dementia patients in this rapidly aging country climbs, the social-welfare system lags far behind.
The number of dementia patients age 65 or over who visited a doctor for treatment in 2011 hit 288,987—more than three times the number five years earlier, which works out to an average annual growth rate of 24%. And the number of dementia sufferers not getting professional help is believed to be much higher.
Government policy responses have included increasing health-insurance benefits to cover lighter dementia, operating a hotline, and training more professional caregivers. There are plans to build more public hospitals for dementia patients; there are currently only seven nationwide.
But a leader of the opposition Democratic Party called on the government to act more aggressively.
"Welfare policy is based on the notion that the government guarantees everyone a minimum level of life," Kim Han-gill said Wednesday.

The game from section 215
If you could have looked into a magic ball somewhere around the 7th minute of the game, could have looked into the future and seen the final score, what you'd have read there would have been a lot brighter than what you might have expected at this point of the game. You'd have seen a score that read Red Bulls 5, Chicago Fire 2.
But you can't do that. So you sit silently like the rest of the fans, not groaning, but really truly silent after the Chicago Fire opened the scoring in the 6th minute. Thierry Henry had sent one over the goal just moments before Chicago started their successful attack, but the real first shot of the game that was a scoring chance by Chicago in the 4th minute. It is a dark feeling.
There is something about the importance of this game that has the fans on edge, ready to criticize the Bulls at each missed pass and overshot goal, at every giveaway and failed attack. We had arrived early, watched the warm-ups, seen a player who we think was Eric Alexander as he dodged through the sprinklers, playfully jumped and spun his way off the field, a way perhaps to ease the tension. And maybe now, as we hear the grumbling, it is just the fan's way of easing the tension. The Red Bull team is not playing poorly, it just isn't happening fast enough.
Jonny Steele tries a shot and it is
scooped up by the Chicago keeper. Tim Cahill rises into the air and
collides with Chicago's Bakary Soumare, and as they fall to the
pitch, Cahill holds the Chicago player's head tenderly, something so
paternal that I involuntarily look at my own son as Cahill helps the player up to his feet. There is a Marcus Holgersson long ball to Henry
that is shot over the goal, a Henry corner in the 16th
that is headed over, a chance when Henry is brought down on the
attack but Peguy Luyindula picks up the loose ball and shoots it
wide. A Dax McCarty shot that goes over.
Each is a held breath by the crowd, a skipped beat, the thump of a foot on the ball that replaces the lost tick of the heart. Then it happens. In the 24th minute, Henry takes a long high pass from Luyindula, takes the ball with his chest down to his foot and in. 1-1. The missed beats are recaught as the fans leap up, hearts racing.
But we forget quickly, and each good opportunity missed, like David Carney's cross just in front of the goal, so beautiful, but with no one there, just drives everyone back to the edge. By the 41st minute the fans are quietly grumbling again, and the added minute passes with no chance in score during the half.
As the break between
halves ends, some of the kids who played on the field are caught in
the sprinklers, at first surprised, some of them start to dare
themselves into the spray as chaperones thinking of the cold air and
second half ahead, try to usher them out.
The Bulls are applauded onto the field, and here and there cheers rise as groups see their names on the big screen, but then another cheer rises, shakes the building. In the 49th minute off a Henry free kick, Ibrahim Sekagya has tried to put the rebound in and it shakes loose again from the keeper into the splash of white at the goal mouth, onto the body of Tim Cahill who scores. 2-1.
The second half takes on the flavor of a scoring summary, of an injury report and list of substitutions. It is a roar locked in the throat. The Bulls change the pace, try to slow the game, while Chicago tries to move it faster and faster, still just down by one and early in the half. Peguy sends the ball to Lloyd Sam who stutter steps, dribbles the keeper to his side and sends it across and in. 3-1. Luis Robles collapses onto two players in a clearance and stumbles up then back down, hurting. For the rest of the game, Jamison Olave and Sekagya take most of his kicks.
Chicago begins with their substitutions in the 61st
minute, and players are taking some advantage of the odd refereeing,
the recently substituted Quincy Amarikwa for Chicago testing the
stretch limits of Holgersson's shirt, then Holgersson throws him a
tackle. He limps away. The crowd is leaning forward now, into the
game. They rise for the Henry corners and stamp their feet. Sam is
the first off for the Bulls, applauded, as Eric Alexander comes on.
Joel Lindpere is applauded on for the Fire by a remembering crowd,
and he claps back at them, then goes to work.
Henry limps after a tackle and Chicago draws a yellow. Alexander scores in the 77th, on a pass from Luyindula, faking the keeper, and we are up 4-1. Security surrounds the pitch waiting. The Supporters' Shield is so close.
In the 84th minute, Henry sends the ball to Steele who finds the goal. 5-1. Now Chicago looks broken at the center of the field, hands on hips, heads bowed. Cahill is substituted off to chants of 'MVP'. Henry goes off after giving the captain's arm band to McCarty and the crowd, back on their feet, calls over and over 'Henry!'. Lindpere sends a corner kick to Amarikwa, who scores, but it is too little. Too late.
The game and the Supporters' Shield are ours, and we stay at our seats, watch the fireworks, watch the players circle the field, call down to them, wave our scarves, try to stay just another minute, and another, until we follow the rest of the crowd out.
And now it is the hour of the crossing guard, and the traffic cop. It is the time of the ticket booth sales reps and the broom brigade. The crowd from the arena has spilled out onto the street as into the parking lots where trunks are again raised and people stand around, not quite wanting to leave, using the crawling traffic as an excuse to stay for another five minutes, and another five. We pass them at a snail's pace. It's a school night, and we have to go home. But we will smile about the game the whole way there.

Free Matt Murton
I've been informed that indeed, the Cubs brass do read this website and have promoted Matt Murton. No word on who is getting sent down. Kidding about the Cubs brass reading this website, but our pal Steve Holley at Inside the Ivy is the one giving me the news and he's with the team currently in New Orleans. We can only assume it's Eric Patterson being sent down.
If you liked this article, consider supporting us during TCR's April Pledge Drive.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Yay. Welcome back Orange Guy.
One down, Mumia and Tibet to go.
Re: Free Matt Murton! Ginger Is Called Up
Marty not backing down.....
"Cubs fans need to get a life."
Re: Free Matt Murton! Ginger Is Called Up
Marty is a sad, bitter old man who can't get over the fact that his precious little snowflake wasn't selected to replace Harry Carey.
Re: Free Matt Murton
For the Marissa Miller fans out there who didn't get to see her throw out the first pitch, the Chicago Tribune has a photo of her after she jumped on Ryan Dempster...enjoy!
Re: Free Matt Murton
This is Dempster's year - Marissa is hot!
Re: Marissa Miller
That's one catch you don't drop!
Re: Marissa Miller
Kinda looks like Dumpster is going in for the kiss
Re: Free Matt Murton
Murton is not in tonight's line-up for Iowa---Vitters got called up to Peoria today
Re: Free Matt Murton
Watching the Brewers-Reds game here in Madison. Sheets left mid-game with a sore tricep. Was pinch hit for in the 6th after only giving up 2 hits through 5. He then left the dugout for the clubhouse.
Re: Ben Sheets
Hopefully Sheets will be back sometime AFTER Prior gets back.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Did Vitters deserve the callup?
Re: Free Matt Murton
Well Vitters is a first round pick whether he 'deserved' a callup to A ball or not, they have some millions invested in him so I'm sure he will get plenty of chances at every level in the minors.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Yeah, but he's also an eighteen-year-old who doesn't need to be rushed through the minors when we've got a third baseman set for years. If he needs to spend half of 2008 in EXST, then leave him there. I haven't seen a single article that says that the Cubs are completely sure he's ready to face A-ball pitching.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Vitters goes 3/4 with 3 doubles and commits a throwing error in his Peoria debut.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Regardless of whether or not Vitters deserves and/or will benefit from the call-up, Peoria now has two legitimate right-handed hitting prospects--Vitters and Donaldson. When they have games where the put it together, those guys could be dangerous in a-ball. Of course, there will likely be a number of games in which one or both of them looks absolutely lost.
Tony Thomas is off to a nice start in Daytona, though he's struck out a lot.
Keeping track of Iowa Cubs games isn't nearly as much fun this year as it was last. No Hoff-power so far, no Fontenot, no Pie, no Soto, no Marmol, no Marshall. Gallagher can only play once every five games--who else can I get excited about? Well, I am still a fan of Josh Kroeger's potential, though he's getting old to be talking about potential.
Jake Fox seems like an unusual minor league figure to me. What does one do in the minors to prepare for a career as a right-handed pinch-hitter, emergency corner outfielder/infielder, and emergency-emergency catcher?
Re: Free Matt Murton
Levine implied the same thing on his MJH spot with Murt. They just did not feel Epat was going to be of much use with 3 out of the next 5 verus lefties.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Eh, they looked at Fontenot and Patterson (since a lefty bat would be nice) but neither looked good. So it's DeRo back to 2B with Murton headed to LF.
Re: Free Matt Murton
I wouldn't count on Murton being the everyday LF until Soriano returns, I think we will see all kinds of different lineups with Derosa, Fontenot, Murton, Johnson and Pie. Maybe even a Ward sighting in Right and Fuku in center.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Excellent, excellent news.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Fontenot probably sent down.
Re: Free Matt Murton
latest Steve Holley update...
METAIRIE, La. -- Cubs outfielder Matt Murton was a late scratch from the initial starting lineup in Friday's game between Class AAA Iowa and New Orleans -- a move that might indicate Murton is headed to Chicago. The lineup change was announced roughly one hour before the scheduled 7:05 p.m. (CT) start.
Iowa manager Pat Listach declined to say whether Murton will be recalled by Chicago, but the outfielder was not in uniform for Friday's Iowa Cubs game at New Orleans. Through 13 games, Murton batted .317 (13-for-41) for Iowa.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Tribune reporting that Reed Johnson gets its shot at leadoff on Saturday v. Gorzelanny.
Re: Free Matt Murton
Does anyone think that EPatt being called up was the last straw for Matt, and he's a nice guy and everything but why else would he keep those photos of Lou and Dusty if he wasn't going to use them?
Re: Great typo on Rotoworld
I'm not really surprised Wellemyer has had a nice stretch, he always had good stuff but walked too many people, his career walks per 9 innings is about 5 but this year he's got it down to about 3.. if he can keep up that kind of reduction he might be a different pitcher, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Re: Great typo on Rotoworld
Does anybody remember the transaction that made Wellemeyer and ex-Cub? Cause I sure don't.
Re: Great typo on Rotoworld
March 28, 2006: Traded by the Chicago Cubs to the Florida Marlins for Lincoln Holdzkom (minors) and Zach McCormack (minors).
June 9, 2006: Selected off waivers by the Kansas City Royals from the Florida Marlins.
May 15, 2007: Selected off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals from the Kansas City Royals.
...as I recall Wellemeyer was traded by the Cubs because he was out of options.
Re: Free Matt Murton
The pesky redhead returns! He's been jab, jab, jabbing @ Iowa [13 singles, 10 bb's, zero rbi's]& is ready to start throwing haymakers in Chicago...good luck, 'pesky', AKA, 'le petit orange'...
Re: Matt Murton @ Iowa
As we saw today, he's really got that infield dribbler stroke of his down. When was the last time Matt Murton actually squared up a pitch??
Re: Free Matt Murton
I like that Murton too but I just wish that he could learn to be a better outfielder. I don't expect much but Murton has got to understand that his future will depend on him having the ability to play the outfield well left field and right field. In addition, it wouldn't hurt if he could try on a first baseman's glove and see if he could make himself a bit more valuable. A weak hitting poor fielding left fielder will only get him so far.
Recent comments
Guess which one is Vogelberg
Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.
For the rookie hazing "dress up" day, the Mariners made him dress like the Farley Chippendales dancer.
Steven Matz to undergo "imminent" elbow surgery.

Dan Vogelbach is working on his firstbase defense in Seattle. Seems to say the Cubs didn't teach him properly.
Oh my! Cards down 2-1 to Reds in the bottom of the 9th -- get a leadoff triple -- and don't score!
Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...
Phil, thanks for posting. Where do find the schedule? I have a condo in Surprise, yet I drove to Mesa and Tempe looking for a game today! Thanks!
Dear Baseball Gods--
My trip to Chicago has nothing whatsoever to do with the Cubs. In actuality, I am a Red Sox fan.
Well, if Strop had to give up a run...at least he hit Sean Rodriguez to do it.

Great football games are the single greatest reason that fans come back year after year to watch college football. Bowl games give the selection committees a perfect opportunity to set up games that should provide exceptional entertainment for viewers through the months of December and January.
Sometimes that happens, and other times fans get to see 50-0 blowouts that are over before the first quarter ends. Those are certainly fun for the winning team's fans to watch, but they are not great football games.
To determine the 10 best non-BCS bowl games of the BCS era, only a few criteria were used:
Margin of Victory
Only games decided by seven or fewer points were considered. There were a total of 160 non-BCS bowls that fit this bill between the 1998 and 2012 seasons.
Games that went into overtime were taken up first, and that put 17 games into consideration.
Turnovers: Round I
Emphasis was on clean football, so any game of the other 143 that had three or fewer turnovers was pulled into consideration. The field stood at 86 games.
Upset Magnitude
Using the AP Poll from immediately before the bowls started, all 86 games were ranked by size of upset. (The higher-ranked team's position was subtracted from the lower-ranked team's. Any unranked team was automatically considered to be ranked 26th.)
This cut the field to 16 matches, and the top three from this edition of the list were guaranteed spots (but not necessarily the top three positions).
Turnovers: Round II
If the winning team had more turnovers than the losing team, the game was eliminated from consideration. This left nine games on the list, with one to fill.
The 10th Team
At this point, there were nine games on the list and 151 that had been eliminated. For the 10th game, the biggest upset left in the field of 151 was selected, regardless of number of turnovers or margin of victory.
All 10 games were ranked in order of the quality of play by the winner. The fewer turnovers by the winning team, the higher the rank. All ties were settled by margin of victory (the smaller the better), turnovers (the fewer the better), size of upset and/or whether the game went into overtime.
Here are the 10 best non-BCS bowl games of the BCS era.

HourlyHours to be determined
We are a small app development team with a popular educational app in the app store.
We get an average of around 10 customer support emails a week, but this is increasing and we are looking to hand this task off to someone else so we can focus on development.
Most emails ask variations of the same questions or offer feature requests, so the responses will be fairly boilerplate although we like them to feel customized to the user. We are looking for someone to provide prompt, courteous and well-written replies to these emails, to keep a list of feature requests and to notify us when users report bugs/crashes.
We've posted this project duration as less than 1 month, but it will be an ongoing position for the right person.

With the recent EPA proposal to tighten gasoline standards, several oil companies are crying foul. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that complying with these new regulations could cost the entire industry $10 billion upfront with an additional $2.4 billion each year to comply. This isn't all bad news, though.
Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe takes a look at this proposed regulation, and he sees some opportunities that could arise from this new standard. As gasoline becomes cleaner, it will also improve engine quality and help to increase the miles per gallon rates on gasoline vehicles, so it could take some pressure off of automotive manufacturers when meeting new MPG standards. Also, the anticipated increase in a gallon of gas resulting from this regulation could also play well into the hands of Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) and Westport Innovations (NASDAQ: WPRT ) , whose alternative transportation fuel options become more attractive as gasoline becomes more expensive.
As the most advanced designer of engines powered by natural gas, Westport Innovations is a small company with a big goal: to lead the world in transitioning away from traditional oil-based fossil fuels in favor of abundant, cheap, and clean natural gas. The company has a price tag large enough to match its ambition, and will need to grow revenue quickly in order to justify sky-high expectations. To help you determine whether Westport Innovations is right for your portfolio, The Motley Fool has just released a brand-new premium report breaking down the company's opportunities, competitive advantages, and risks.

Seabury student wins MIT award for science activism
Seabury Hall student Zeb Mehring, who recently completed the 9th grade, received the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's NEST (Network of Educators of Science and Technology) outstanding student award.
NEST created student awards for "science activism" - science presentations in a public forum. In Mehring's case, this came in the form of a presentation on time travel he gave at the Pacific Symposium for Science and Sustainability. The awards are based on a student's scholastic achievements, their school and community outreach, and their passion for science.
Mehring was recommended by Seabury Hall biology teacher Sherri Reed. After being nominated, he was then endorsed by NEST member and MIT alumnus Philip Blackman.
