Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
All Milton, all the time...
- Foxsports's rumor mongering robot Robothal is hearing talks about a 3-way trade of Milton Bradley to the Blue Jays, Lyle Overbay to the Mets and Luis Castillo to the Cubs.
The three-team possibility, according to one source, has "some legs,
but not much." The Jays are opposed to the deal, one source says —
perhaps because new GM Alex Anthopolous does not want a trade for
Bradley to be his first major move.
Castillo is owed $6M each of the next two seasons, will be 34 next year has piss-poor UZR and Rate2 numbers the last few seasons and was the proud owner of a .337 wOBA(barely above average) last season thanks mostly to a .342 BABIP which isn't something he's shown he can repeat too often. So that's exciting...
But if the Cubs can indeed move the $21M owed Bradley for the $12M owed Castillo, well that becomes a no-brainer for the Cubs. Chances are they'll have to throw some cash which spins me right back to the not so exciting camp.
The same article says the Rays have been the heaviest pursuers of Bradley mentioning Pat Burrell again. Their salaries even out in 2010 according to Robothal, but Rays want Cubs to pay most of 2011 to relieve them of their headache.
- Bruce Levine chimed in earlier saying the Cubs have talked with Mets, Blue Jays, Rangers, Rays and Angels about Bradley. Levine reiterates that Rich Harden and Kevin Gregg are as good as gone, Cubs would like to resign John Grabow and Reed Johnson could be welcome back if he accepts a one year deal. He says the Cubs priorities are bullpen help, a leadoff hitter, center field and a veteran middle infielder...like Luis Castillo for example.
- Bruce Miles talked to Carlos Zambrano's agent and said he hasn't been approached about waving any no-trade clauses and thinks it's a "non-story". Talk with Hendry included glowing praise of Starlin Castro and that a deal for Bradley isn't close.
- For what it's worth, which isn't much...Billy Williams would like to salvage the Milton Bradley situation in Chicago.
- Finally, the Cubs did inquire about the Cuban lefty fireballer Aroldis Chapman, but "seem to be going in other, cheaper directions"
Otherwise, be sure you don't miss Arizona Phil's Top 15 prospect list for something with some substance over this rumor mongering.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I think Ken Rosenthal reads MLB Traderumors just like the rest of the MLB fan nation. The guy is a Type A douche bag. The Bradley for Castillo move would at least uphold the theory of left-handed on-base and free up roughly $9 million over the next two years, as long as the Cubs do not have to eat money in return. Personally, if this deal has legs (and all indications are that it does not), this would probably be as good as it gets. I for one am not for a Pat Burrell for Milton Bradley swap. The Cubs do not need another high strikeout non-defensive left fielder on the roster. The Cubs would just be faced with a $9 million dollar bench player. It is reported too that the Rays would want the Cubs to pick up the majority of Bradley's contract for '11, which the Cubs would almost be better off just rolling with the punches and see if he works out next year or creates a market for himself at all.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
"The guy is a Type A douche bag."
What has he done to you?
MLB "Traderumors" is basically a re-hash, and re-packaging site. Talk about "douche-bags", DIRTBAG.
No original "rumors" other than what they pick up from other feeds.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
at least they source their stuff now rather than pretending like they're scooping stuff...
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I apologize if I offended the one Ken Rosenthal apologist in the room. As always, I appreciate a clarification of the obvious. Keep up the good work. This site needs more John Madden-esque commentary. Cheers.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
"As always, I appreciate a clarification of the obvious. Keep up the good work. This site needs more John Madden-esque commentary. Cheers."
For a new poster, you are pretty insulting for no reason.
I didn't apologize for Rosenthal, only asked what he did to you, and what it was that you find so bothersome about him. You decided to turn this into an insult to me. Nice retort, you DIRTBAG.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
is this rumor burping?
Muskat tweets: Cubs GM Jim Hendry says Milton Bradley may be back in 2010, and called the outfielder's '09 season a "major hiccup"
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Tend to agree with that.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
hiccup, burp and a belch...
Muskat posts at cubs.com:
"Other people have had some major hiccups along the way and come back, and that's just how you have to look at it."
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
any truth to the rumor milton to the 30-60 day DL because of hiccups?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Thanks, crunch! That gave me the grins.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
What about Derrek Lowe for Bradley? The Braves seem to think they have a starter to deal, and are probably wanting to get out of that contract.
The Cubs could then turn around and trade Wells and a prospect for a good young (pre-arb?) center fielder... Felix Pie? OK maybe someone with a little better track record like...Dexter Fowler?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Hey, Castillo's career BABIP is .333. Why are we talking about .342 like it's a miraculous fluke?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
castillo played with leg/hip injuries the past 2 years...and showed up out of shape to begin 2008...
he's still a pretty slick fielder, imo.
btw...im not even remotely a fan him coming here, fwiw.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
i'd be happy if someone came out and shot this rumor down. castillo is a guy that probably wouldn't hurt much, but i can't see much value into what he can add even at his best.
he's a singles hitter who's speed is on the decline at the plate without even getting into the D.
i actually think a baker/fontenot duo could be pretty damn adequate 2nd even though the team seems dead set on adding an IF'r.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
well awesome.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
DB mentioned the BABIP it in a previous post.
He's no sloth on the bases and if he can play passable defense and put up a .375 OBP he's going to be a real asset - right now we're looking at Colvin as our CF and leadoff hitter.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
OK, Fuld for two weeks until he's hurt, then Colvin.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
He's no sloth on the bases
You don't think he's a bit overrated as a base stealer? 20-6 last year, 17-2 the year before (that percentage is actually very good), 19-6 in 2007, 25-11 in 2006, 10-7 (!) in 2005, etc. Most seasons he's been caught stealing quite a bit, sometimes even with his CS approaching is SB (2005, 2003).
If they are dead set on selling low on Bradley, I'm not completely opposed to a Luis Castillo deal, mostly because I am a fan of OBP and he's at least decent in that department (or has been in the past). I'd feel a lot better about it if it was straight up with no cash exchange, though. I'd also feel better about it if it meant the end of Aaron Miles.

Dopirak added to Blue Jays 40-man roster
ROB G: 1B Brian Dopirak (by TOR), 3B Adam Heether (by MIL), RHP Juan Morillo (by MIN), and RHP Hayden Penn (by FLA), were added to 40-man rosters on Monday, just in front of the deadline for adding Rule 55 minor league free-agents to a 40-man roster by club selection. (Dopirak is currently leading the VWL in HR & RBI).
MLB will be releasing the list of Rule 55 minor league free-agents (Six-Year Minor League FAs) later this week.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
/hallucinogenics and rants
AZ Phil is awesome is my post preamble...
Luis Castillo and Mike Cameron, these are just the type of bullshit moves Hendry always makes. That's why he'll never be a premium GM and why the Cubs will never get to the WS with this fat douchebag at the helm.
How about mixing things up, Fat Boy? The Dodgers and Zambrano would make a perfect fit, make the big trade. Ask for Kemp or Ethier and a prospect. If they belch on taking on the size of that contract (unlikely, they have $$), take Furcal's contract off their hands, send them Theriot if need be. We only need a 1-2 year placeholder at SS anyway with all the young SS prospects the Cubs now have in the minors. One of them will work out....right??
Sure, I recognize a deal like this won't happen, but can't we have a big picture GM that at least PURSUES possibilities like this, for ONCE?
And yes I know Z has a NTC, but you gotta figure LA would be his number 1 choice if ever traded. National League so he hits. High profile team that is a winner. Big hispanic presence. Love big personality figures in la-la land. He'd be perfect for them, and I bet he knows it.
Count me in on the Bradley for Lowe talk, that would be great. Lowe had an off-year, you'd be buying low (he-he). He has a strong track record and has always pitched well at Wrigley FWIW.
Has Tampa really soured on BJ Upton? Really? How can the Cubs get this guy?
Billy Wagner, yes please. Lefty/righty 8/9 combo in Wagner and Marmol. Lefty/righty 6/7 combo in Grabow and Guzman. Lefty/righty middle relief in Marshall and Should Still Be Wuertz, But a Replacement Can Be Found, So Long as He's Not Named Aaron. What's wrong with that bullpen?
I bet the Cubs could get Kerry Wood back pretty easy. He's not a kid anymore, so there's no reason to baby him, if he breaks, he breaks, and I bet he accepts that at this stage. So why not make him a starting pitcher again? Lilly, Dempster, Wells, Lowe and Wood, yeah, I'd take my chances with that bunch.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
The Braves are pretty big on the character of the individual. Milton Bradley is like Kryptonite to that franchise, they wont touch him with a ten foot pole. You can bank on a Bradley for Lowe deal never ever happening. The Braves aren't going to trade a proven winner for a proven loser.
And for the Zambrano mouth breathers, you might want to stop hyper-ventilating and worry when he has a season with an ERA close to 5.00, rather than 4.00 before you want to give up on a 28 year old pitcher. Years 28-34 typically have pitchers enjoying their best runs. And you are not going to get no Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier for Zambrano, they want offensive production not another pitcher. Otherwise they would have just kept Derek Lowe.
BJ Upton is a possibility only because Tampa has the next big thing waiting in the minors for the OF and believe he can play now, so between Upton and Crawford one of them has to go. Only problem is Tampa is a notoriously tough negotiator. Be prepared to pay more than you want to get either one of them. They are a small market team so they want great prospects in return, something the Cubs can't offer, which puts us far off their radar in getting either one of them.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Lengthy interview with Kerry Wood by David Laurila from Baseball Prospectus:
DL: Are you a future pitching coach?
KW: I don't think so. I don't know if I have the patience. I don't think I could deal with 13 different personalities. Pitchers complain a lot.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I so agree with Jim Hickman's Bat. If we're going to make some moves, we should go after championship level players...not players whose best days are behind them. For CF,Rowand,Granderson,Upton would all be significantly better options than Cameron. Re: 2B Castillo's best days are way, way behind him. The Marlins payroll next year is $36 million and they won't pay Uggla who would be an upgrade for us. I know his defense is suspect but has averaged 90 RBIs over the last 4 years in a very defensive ballpark. We have the trading chips in our minor league system to make some significant moves (thanks AZ Phil for the thumbnails). We also have lots of underperforming players (some with NT clauses) that Hendry should try to move anyway. It's time for Hendry to get bold and creative...unless he is satisfied with winning 83 games again next year.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
...unless he is satisfied with winning 83 games again next year.
That's the bitch of it. For too long, too many in the Cubs organization ARE satisfied with 83 win seasons. The fans are in the seats, the money flows, the "Wrigley Experience" continues, blah blah.....To hell with that, I'd watch them play in Comiskular if it meant a goddamn winner for once. Anything less than a WS title is total BS, and any GM that doesn't have that philosophy is a worthless POS in my book.
Armchair GM
The items you discuss would be great IF the team did not have the back-loaded contracts it is saddled with making them unmovable.
Take Z off the staff, and you are left with a rotation barely in the middle of the NL pack, and it would put even more wear and tear on the pen.
The payroll is not going up, and if you were another GM, knowing that as fact, how the hell is Hendry going to get out of the hole he created?
What prospects from the Cubs farm team would you be interested in getting back for the names you suggest?
As armchair GM, the Jim Hickman's Bat guy's rant is fine. In the real world, it just will not make sense under the current scenario.
Re: Armchair GM
Take Z off the staff, you could replace him with another #3 starter EASILY and you are left with a rotation equivalent to what it was last year. He averaged pretty much exactly six innings per start, which is it self putting plenty of strain on the bullpen. With his contract, this guy is VERY replaceable.
Re: Armchair GM
"With his contract, this guy is VERY replaceable."
I think it's his contract that would make him hard to replace.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
With many of our mainstay players such as Lee, Aram, Fukudome, Theriot, Soriano, Dempster and Lilly all on the wrong side of 30, this team has a narrow window of opportunity to win. With the exception of Cashner and Castro, we should be willing to part with any of our other prospects in order to obtain the kind of players who can get us to the playoffs and WS. Why not? I am not ready to settle for another 100 years of futility. Hendry is an idiot if he thinks that this team will win with just some minor tweaking. Our record against winning teams is awful. Compare our lineup to LA or Philly and I'm sure you'll agree that we just don't measure up. Under the current economic conditions many small market teams need to cut payroll and we should take advantage of that. I am tired of hearing about BS players like Cameron and Castillo whose best days are long gone. It's time to make some significant changes. Let's see if Hendry and Ricketts have the balls to do it.
Bradley to Rangers
Levine says the Rangers are talking to Hendry. Kevin Millwood is a possibility.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
It's lunchtime at the GM meetings.
Jon Heyman (SI) tweets:
milton bradley's "like oddball kid in class" with #cubs teammates. "no way he can go back," source says.
some of these milton bradley rumors are wild. but he has to go somewhere. word is, many #cubs stars wont even talk to him.
on THE SCORE, Heyman elaborates that Zambrano, Ramirez, and Soriano generally just don't talk to him. They avoid him.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Indeed, WSCR radio Cubs "beat" reporter.
And, without a doubt, "a face for radio".
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Heard the same.
Also Boers is changing his tune on cutting Bradley.
I reported right at the end of the seaoson that his "Cubs insider" told him no way Cubs would eat Bradley's contract.
Now they are saying Ricketts will eat the contract if there are no other avenues.
Cubs cut Bradley come March, no one signs him do they just have to pay him 2010 money or the whole contract at once?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Yeah, but I think because we found out doesn't mean that the league guys already knew or sensed it.
Re: Robothal blog
How could a team, with a straight face say "Well, who is going to pay for it if we give Milton Bradley 600 PA's?". I obviously don't have the temperment to be a GM.
Re: Rogers Tweets
Hopefully his contract will paralyze the front office for the entire off-season.. or maybe we will decide to keep him, then have him speak at the Cubs Convention, only to be booed so severly that Hendry will decide he has to trade him again before the season starts.
That would be smart.
Grain of Salt Alert
Boers also said his insider told him that Bradley was an "actively evil influence in the clubhouse."
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Hopefully Hendry can backload a deal for a 30 something outfielder coming off of a career year to replace Bradley
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
actively evil influence

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

How Much Should You Exercise When Pregnant?Ceridwen Morris
Researchers at John's Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore are getting dozens of pregnant women– from the sporty to the not-so-sporty– onto treadmills in an attempt to better understand how we can personalize fitness guidelines for a range of pregnant women.
Given the huge diversity of body types and baseline activity levels, universal guidelines don't make much sense.
Dr. Linda Szymanski, a fellow in maternal fetal medicine who is helping conduct the research, said pregnant women are being confused by contradictory advice and data: "[Pregnant] women express frustration because a number of doctors give different advice. Some still tell them not to exercise, especially if they haven't been exercising."
"We do know that not only can exercise be done, it should be done," said lead researcher Dr. Andrew J. Satin. "But the level of fitness should impact the individual's prescription."
It used to be that women were told not to exercise. Now women are being told to work out during pregnancy– the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends exercising 30 minutes a day for most if not all days of the week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest at least 2 1/2 hours a week of "moderate-intensity aerobic activity" for healthy pregnant and postpartum women.
I am always in favor of "personalized" goals, fitness or otherwise. There are some universal experiences when it comes to pregnancy but a whole lot of it is highly individual. One-size-fits-all advice is sometimes necessary but not ideal. We know that elite athletes can continue with high levels of sport when pregnant, but we also know that for someone who never works out, a sudden increase in heart-rate and physical strain is not healthy. The researchers note that a lot of what they expect to learn is "common sense."

SpaceX moves toward manned flight
SpaceX has completed the first three performance milestones for the manned version of its Dragon/Falcon 9 spacecraft and launch system. In an announcement at its Hawthorne, California, headquarters, SpaceX said that the milestones are part of NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) initiative, which is intended to develop privately owned and operated manned spacecraft capable of taking passengers into low Earth orbit for NASA and private customers.
As SpaceX moves into what NASA calls the "third commercial crew phase" of the initiative, SpaceX provided the space agency with an integrated systems requirements review, which outlines the techniques the company will use to design, build and test the Dragon/Falcon 9 system. It also told NASA how it intends to handle manned flights from ground operations through to landing.
Previous milestones included a technical baseline review where NASA and SpaceX reviewed the Dragon/Falcon 9 system and discussed plans for ground operations for manned flights, and a review of SpaceX's plans for achieving CCiCap milestones and the company's financial resources.
In addition, SpaceX has developed an emergency abort system using a SuperDraco Engine that will fly the capsule to safety in the event of a launch emergency.

....he also just bowed out of the race. Guess we'll get a real Democrat insted of a Rhino. Honestly though, I'd take a Rhino if it helps us maintain a majority in Congress and enables us to pick our judges.

93(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2013
(15% alcohol): Bright red. Red cherry, aromatic herbs and tobacco aromas on the impressively deep nose. Sweet and seamless in the mouth, with ripe red cherry and fresh herb flavors lifted by bright acidity and supported by very fine, polished tannins. The clean, very long finish features repeating notes of sweet red cherry and raspberry syrup. Outstanding Brunello.

Skip to comments.Perry on in-state tuition for illegals: How else were they supposed to pay for it?
Posted on 10/01/2011 10:43:51 PM PDT by American Dream 246
Matt Lewis says hes improving on this issue. I guess, but thats mainly because after youve tried to win over voters by calling them heartless, theres really nowhere to go but up. A scene from New Hampshire this morning:
We have, for decades, had a federal government that has absolutely failed in its constitutional duty to defend our border, Perry said.
Im a governor. I dont have the pleasure of standing on the stage and criticizing. I have to deal with these issues, he later added.
Perry continued, In 2001, we had this choice: Are we going to kick these children over to the curb and say you cannot have access to college? Because the fact of the matter is theres no way they could pay the out-of-state tuition. And are we going to have them on the government dole over here because theyre not educated? Or are we going to have them in our institutions of higher learning, paying in state tuition, pursuing citizenship?
David Connors, the man who asked Perry the in-state tuition question, said he was satisfied with the governors answer.
Really? There are no jobs for illegals anywhere in Texas to earn tuition money? I was under the impression that there are quite a lot of jobs available to them, especially since Perry opposes e-Verify. This is the same sleight of hand he tried to use in the debate answer that got him in trouble, equating illegals opportunity to go to school in Texas with some sort of moral imperative among taxpayers to subsidize their education. (His wife, campaigning for him in Iowa, framed the choice as between tuition subsidies or welfare.) Somehow, the impoverished U.S. citizen from Mississippi is expected to pay his own way in Austin but the illegal whos lived in Texas for three years gets a stipend from the locals. And not just in terms of lower tuition rates; apparently they qualify for financial aid too. It must be awfully confusing for Perry, as a Texas Gaullist and vocal champion of state sovereignty, to find that prioritizing state residency over national citizenship doesnt play well with grassroots conservatives outside of Texas itself, but hed better find clarity soon.
Heres Romneys new ad bludgeoning Perry with praise he once received from former Mexican President Vicente Fox. After you watch, read this amusing scolding (which notes some of Mitts own immigration heresies) from former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson, who seems genuinely surprised that Romney would pander so shamelessly on a divisive issue simply to destroy an opponent. That was the old, soulless Romney. The new, soulful Romney should be above that sort of thing. Right?
Very true. Pay no attention to the ronpaul types.
Whether or not *I* like a particular state's law is totally irrelevant. If a law is not unconstitutional, it's up to the people who live in the state through their elected state legislators. If the people don't like the law, they can vote those legislators out of office and repeal the distasteful law. In the case at hand, TX has had ten long years to undo that law, but hasn't. Why self-declared conservatives don't support that notion is beyond me.
Both of you are right.
Your being "technically correct" on the legislature does not make Jay's point incorrect. In fact your response further validates his contention.
Give me a break.
When you sprinkle sugar on the floor, don't cry when ants come running.
And now you want the rest of the country to fall in line because the people of Texas don't care?
Please. You can keep Perry and your asinine excuse for rewarding criminal behavior.
Might want to watch out with any BIG D references, we may think you about to pull out another link to your Dallas LGBT queer website.
To paraphrase President Bush, "We have to ask ourselves, is our illegals getting educated?"
Really, Rick? Is that how things work in your world? If you don't go to college you end up on the public dole?
Well, how's that worked out? How many illegals who have passed through the Texas education digestive system are now naturalized citizens and contributing to Texas' society?

Something told me from the very first time I heard him speak that he was trouble but I ignored that still small voice to my own and nearly the country's detriment.
I think we may have dodged a bullet.
That does not take anything away from what I said about the dems trying to add the Hispanics to their vote block and the GOP being relatively successful to prevent that from occuring.
Address the rest, don't just again pick one tiny detail.
Perry's opposition to e-Verify is really bad.
Thank you! Well out.
Being another Texan, I agree with you.
Perry haters still won't understand.
Go Perry!
JOE vs. JOSE
You have two families: Joe Legal and Jose Illegal. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California ..
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash under the table.
Ready? Now pay attention....
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.
Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has 9,631 .00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal says, We dont need no stinkin insurance! and still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month..
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legals and Jose Illegals children both attend the same elementary school. Joe Legal pays for his childrens lunches, while Jose Illegals children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegals children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legals children go home.
Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legals kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Jose Illegals kids go to the head of the class because they are a minority.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Do you get it, now?
If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem!
We need to keep this goingwe need to make changes ASAP!
Its way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!
What are you waiting for? Pass it on.
E-verify would make a difference. Perry is wrong.
Immigration and legal presence in the country is a federal issue, yes? And the feds have a law that aims to prohibit states from giving "state benefits" to those in the country illegally.
Not that the federal government has any intention of doing anything substantial about illegal presence. It views the US as a plantation.
raybbr, with all due respect, there's this thing called the Constitution of the United States. It sets out the obligations/rights/responsibilities of the federal government, and leaves all other obligations/rights/responsibilities to the various states.
The federal government reserved to itself matters of national security, security of the nation's borders, and immigration. The states are each free to operate state schools, to determine their tuition, and who is entitled to in-state tuition.
That document has served the nation well for more than 200 years. Conservatives claim to admire and respect it. Yet, when it comes to making a political point, *some* are perfectly willing to throw it out the window. They then compound that by calling others who might just believe in states rights names that are apparently meant to demean their target.
If believing in the Constitution makes me a "Perrywinkle" in your estimation, so be it. I could care less. I will continue to believe in that document and the wisdom of those who drafted it. Apparently they 'talk(ed) out of both sides of their mouth(s)" by giving some powers to the federal government and others to the states? Maybe you should read the Constitution before trying to cast rather ineffective stones.
Well, that settles it, everyone who is actually a citizen of this country now knows that Perry says they can afford out-of-state tuition. Obviously if they cant they surely wouldnt get preference over those in this country illegally. Wait, what?
You have the federal government who has not done it's job for the last 40 years. Now if we suddenly start enforcing the law we have people who never lived in Mexico eligible to be tossed out.
There are people who came here illegally and had (illegal alien) children or came here with small babies. Now these children are grown up never having known or lived in Mexico.
The problem is the 40 years of lax enforcement- so what do we do about that?
This is just a guess on my part but maybe the ILLEGAL part?
Well, that's different. Why didn't you say so in the first place? If they go to college they are disqualified from receiving welfare.
Hell, I'm all for that.
Damned liars. Stop lying!
BAR them from ever obtaining citizenship, for one thing. No vote, ever. NO path to citizenship. MAYBE a path to legal residency, but I'd make it ex$pen$ive.
8 U.S.C. 1623 - Limitation on eligibility for preferential treatment of aliens not lawfully present on basis of residence for higher education benefits
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.
The argument of the state of Texas is that the terms "postsecondary education benefit" and "residence" are not defined in the federal law.
Nope, and Perry in Texas can do as he pleases with the consent of Texans. However, we also have the right to point to Perrys ideology and reject that as a national agenda. Dont ask us to adopt Perrys agenda on a national level and that is what you are trying to do.
The single comment he has made about E-verify was in response to an accusation from Kay Bailey Hutchison in a debate. He was questioning her about Federal border security policies, and she said he was weak because he had not forced the State to require e-verify for State employees. http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2010/feb/01/kay-bailey-hutchison/hutchison-says-texas-state-doesnt-use-e-verify-wee/
I don't think that would make much difference. How many illegal aliens do you suppose apply for State jobs?
E-verify uses information from the same I-9 forms that the State of Texas and 39 other States use.
How much regulation and interference in businesses and their day-to-day practices do we want? How much of our own data do we want to be in the Fed's database?
If nothing else, it's expensive. The regulations that change and grow are what ran me out of private practice. My billing programmers made money from HIPPA and I lost money. The month my business loan was paid off, the company decided they wouldn't support the new Federally-mandated "compliance programs" on my Linux system, so I'd have to buy a new Windows system and PC's.
Rick Perry has only made one comment on e-verify. See my post # 174.
Conservatives are supposed to be for smaller, less intrusive and local government.
The title of the thread is "Perry on in-state tuition for illegals: How else were they supposed to pay for it?" I assumed that you're discussing the same subject the rest of us were.
Of course they came illegally but the government didn't enforce the laws and now their children have grown up in America. Kicking them out is not going to be politically obtainable.
When Section 8 welfare housing is involved, where is the property tax they are paying? Answer: NONE
The government money comes in one end of the government and goes out the other to government. ( just like poop.)
And...When families are doubled and tripled up in welfare voucher paid for housing, you are being ridiculous to claim that illegals in this situation are paying property tax. They aren't.
If you are going to argue for in-state tuition for illegals, please use **rational** arguments. Property tax isn't one of them.
Not asking you to do a damned thing, except to recognize that TX can do what it wishes according to the Constitution of the United States. Please point me to where Perry advocated for this to be adopted nationally. I haven't seen/heard any such advocacy but follow this debate only so closely.
Yes, and by their tacit support of illegals in the state they are subverting the role of the federal govt. States are enjoined by the Constitution to support the federal govt. You can't have it both ways.
Don't like the name "perrywinkle" then how about Quisling? As I pointed out above Texans want to the right to simply ignore their responsibilities as a member of the United State of America in upholding and aiding the federal govt in ITS duties - borders and immigration. Or do you believe that those responsibilities are the sole purview of the feds. If so, Texas should stop taking any federal money if they are not willing to uphold the Constitution.
I will continue to believe in that document and the wisdom of those who drafted it. Apparently they talk(ed) out of both sides of their mouth(s) by giving some powers to the federal government and others to the states? Maybe you should read the Constitution before trying to cast rather ineffective stones.
Not stones. Simply pointing out the selective thought process that Texas has chosen to use in this issue.
I believe in the Constitution and until Texas secedes they had better as well - that means upholding the sovereignty in the name of the United States instead believing they should only uphold the laws they want to.
Are you telling me that his philosophy would change at the national level? Would that include all that he says and does and what should we assume he will do at the national level if we dont look at his record?
Is this guy braindead? .... Quoting Perry on giving in-state tuition to illegals: How else were they supposed to pay for it?I just thought of something else.....
On July 5th we saw some old friends (at a wake, yuck) and we talked about our 'kids'. Well their daughter just got her Law Degree and lo-and-behold she didn't go to Law School here in IL, but at a Law School in California -- so she had to pay OUT OF STATE TUITION.Therefore, Perry is full of 'Bullfeces'. If an American girl can manage this, in the Illegal Friendly State Of Texas, a Juan or Maria should not have any problem doing the same dam thing when it comes to paying out of state tuition for college!
Naturally it was a ton of money and our friends could not help and their daughter had/has to pay it all herself. She did this by getting another Student Loan - on top of her existing loan for her BA Degree - and WORKING A PART TIME JOB (wow, what a radical idea).
She hasn't taken a Bar Exam yet as she's not sure where she wants to practice law. But those Student Loan Invoices aren't waiting and she's paying them again - BY WORKING!
So yes. Perry has to be Brain Dead. Or .. he's just a MORON!
Why doesn't this alleged student go to California, establish residence there for a year (that's the typical rule in most states), then qualify for in-state tuition?
Or go to Texas, establish residence there in a year, and enjoy in-state tuition there?
It's a little different in Texas for illegals, however. An illegal immigrant has to establish residence of THREE years to start to qualify, a little higher bar.
She may want to pass on Law School. Doesn't seem too bright.
Hmmmmm....okay, I'll go with 2.
Does it not strike you as a little peculiar that the very same Congress/federal government that mandated that ALL states provide a "free" K-12 education for ALL children, legal or not, then claims that if a state decides for its own purposes that it will extend a tuition break to children who meet certain criteria in the state, that's suddenly acting illegally or improperly? Who is it that is tacitly supporting illegals? Who is trying to have it both ways?
The Congress, i.e., the federal government, is the body that MANDATED each and every states, and every jurisdiction within each of the states, to provide the "free" K-12 education. We won't go into medical care, housing, etc. By Congress's imposing this unfunded mandate on each and every state, who's subverting the Constitution? Who is giving tacit support to illegals?
Who among us even knows how our own Congressman voted on that mandate? We might easily assume that nothing passes Congress with only votes of the TX delegation. So, what other states' representatives encouraged this tacit support of illegals?
It costs a lot more to educate studentw to whom English is not their native language, and who logically do not have the support at home to supplement the basic 'free' K-12 US education. You might check the budget of your local jurisdiction's schools to see just how much that Congressional/federal mandate is costing you. By the time TX or any other state or jurisdiction within the respective states has provided the Congressionally/federally mandated "free" K-12 education to children of illegals, that state/local jurisdiction has made an enormous investment in that student, thanks to an unfunded Congressional/federal mandate. But let's not think about that because it doesn't serve our present agenda now, does it?
Continue with your name calling. It speaks more to your character than to mine.
Answering a question with a question doesn't work. How about you point me to where Perry has advocated on behalf of a federal "Dream Act." Thank you.
Ya should quit hangin out on Cedar Springs and quoting/linking to that awful queer website, its so ronpaulish.
And do you have a reading comprehension problem?
Their daughter finished Law School and has her Law Degree.
Sheesh, you Perrydactyls are something else.
The guy is just plain STOO-PID™, deal with it.
It was the US Supreme Court that did that, in Plyler v. Doe.
Not to say that Congress isn't in agreement with SCOTUS in this matter, just saying that it wasn't Congress that handed down the "everybody in the country (legal or illegal presence makes no difference) is entitled to public K-12 education" ruling.
Rockrr— exactly the point. Arguments from the liberal side always pick up the discussion at the point where the need has arisen: illegals are here, now they need healthcare and college tuition; the poor need healthcare, food, housing, etc. These issues have to be tackled at the root: illegals have needs because they came here illegally— solve that issue first. The poor and the addicted, by and large, find themselves in financial distress because they refused to take advantage of the many opportunities made available to them, most notably freed public education, and incidentally, the opportunity not to have multiple children without benefit of marriage and the opportunity to forego taking drugs and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Sure these folks have needs, because (again, by and large) they brought their problems upon themselves. The formula for success has been frequently stated: graduate from high school; wait for marriage before having children and keep your debt reasonable. When we reward/rescue folks who simply refuse to do this, we encourage others to follow in their stupid footsteps.
Mea culpa. It was Congress IIRC than mandated the health provisions. The point being, that the fed govt inserts itself into local matters that the local jurisdictions have to deal with/fund, then when a state decides for its own reasons that it will extend in part a federal mandate/benefit, the feds jump in again and say, but you can't do THAT. The feds DO try to have it both ways, and that leaves it to the states to deal with the situations the best way they know.
I chose to live in a state that not only doesn't subsidize in-state tuition for illegals, but (last I heard) my state won't even ADMIT them to state schools. That works for me. But I don't live in TX/CA or any of the other states that offer the in-state tuition break. And, as far as I'm concerned, it is up to each of the states, and the feds should butt out. But that's just me.
Hey, she was too stupid to just go to school in her own state to save money and too stupid to establish residency in another state so she wouldn't have to pay out-of-state tuition.
You anti-Perry trolls are the limit! Thanks for the laugh !
That's a "soft" mandate, in that giving E-room health care to all comers is a condition for receiving certain federal monies. No hospital is bound to seek the federal money in the first place.
-- And, as far as I'm concerned, it is up to each of the states, and the feds should butt out. --
Immigration policy is for the feds to set. Would you say the states have the right to act in contravention of a federal law that directs the handling of those in the country illegally?
See post 172, to you just above, for a cite and text of a federal law that pertains to in-state tuition for persons in the country illegally.
I'll be one of the last people to claim that the federal government is coherent. Congress, SCOTUS, and the Executive often establish conflicting rules. The only point of consistency among the three branches (and their administrative agencies, and their czars) is that ALL of them are in favor of aggregating (and arrogating) power to the federal government.
It's the big league of finger pointing, while asserting control.
Perry: I dont think you have a heart, he told Romney. We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society.
So the insinuation you make is that once Perry is President he would no longer have a heart because he would change if elected. That quote alone should tell us what he would do if elected.
I realize they're subtle, but there are differences between giving children of illegals a tuition break which is, or should be, a states right issue, and granting amnesty, which is a federal issue.
Personally, I'm not in favor of either, but then I don't live in TX, am not familiar with its culture, and believe Texans should decide what works there when it comes to states rights. In the same vein, if MA likes a state-mandated health care program for its citizens, it's their choice. Neither shouldn't be foisted on AL/MI/NJ/VA/WI, or any other state.
One problem with this race so far is the total lack of value in the debates, other than the forum conducted by Sen. DeMint over Labor Day. With 7-9 candidates each given a minute to answer complex (or gotcha) questions, and the candidate next to him jumping down his throat, you won't get informative answers. In time, hopefully, the final 3-4 will have more time to expound on their positions and = assuming Perry and Romney are among the finalists = explain how laws they enacted as governors their states relate, or not, to the nation.
The 'don't have a heart' did, in fact, sour me some on Perry, but he IS still in the race, and I have not written him off because there is much to be said for his candidacy. I don't have to cast a vote for five months, and am trying to gather all the information I can, pro and con, on each of the candidates, and am trying to do it with as much objectivity as I can muster. There are three I've 'written off' for my primary vote, but beyond that find pro and con arguments for each. Alas, no one (but for me and thee) is perfect. Whoever gets the GOP nomination will have my support and my vote.
If looking into Perry, among others, makes me a "Perrywinkle" or "quisling," or infects me with "PDS" of either variety, I could care less. The name calling around here has become more than a little tedious, it's become repulsive.
You conveniently forget that the vote was veto proof, what did he have to gain besides posturing to veto the bill? Spend more tax payer money having them override his veto.
You conveniently forget that the vote was veto proof, what did he have to gain besides posturing to veto the bill? Spend more tax payer money having them override his veto.
Now that is really weak. Are you saying that from his you have no heart comment we are to take that he was simply signing the bill because there was a veto proof vote? Really?
What do you mean by "politically obtainable"? What other laws should we decide not to enforce? Maybe we ought to just strike the law off the books because if we aren't going to follow our own laws there's no point in having them. And why should we expect others to follow our laws if we aren't going to follow them ourselves? And if the criteria for enforcing a law will be how it will effect the children there's a lot of murderers, rapists, drug dealers and thieves that should be let out of jail.
And what do we say to the immigrants who did things the right way and came here legally to make a better life for their children (half my family is Mexican, no one came illegally)? "Hey, sorry for the slap in the face, but hey, it's your fault for trying to do it legally! Hope you learned your lesson, years spent working, learning English, taking citizenship classes, becoming a citizen was just damn dumb. You could've hid in the shadows in a illegal alien friendly state popped out a few babies and you all would've been able to become citizens when those kids get older. We here in the US are too concerned about how it looks to enforce our laws than having the integrity to actually enforce them! Suckers!"

World War II Golf Rules
During World War II, Richmond Golf Club in Surrey, England, drew up a unique set of amendments to the rules of golf. Let's hope these won't be necessary again anytime soon.
Players are asked to collect bomb and shrapnel splinters to save these causing damage to the mowing machines.
In competitions, during gunfire or while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play.
The positions of known delayed action bombs are marked by red flags at reasonably, but not guaranteed, safe distance therefrom.
Shrapnel and/or bomb splinters on the fairways, or in the bunkers within a club's length of a ball, may be moved without penalty, and no penalty shall be incurred if a ball is thereby caused to move accidentally.
A ball moved by enemy action may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped not nearer the hole without penalty.
A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole. Without penalty.
A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. Penalty one stroke.

NEW YORK — How much of The Food Emporium will remain in the supermarket business was in question last week as the process of selling A&P's Manhattan-based chain neared its final stages. Two sources speaking on the condition of anonymity last week told SN that the previously reported interest in the 16-store chain from Kings Food Markets was limited to just five stores it would operate as supermarkets. Kings, they said, was bidding for 11 stores overall in partnership with ...

|International technology education studies.
|edited by P. John Williams.
This is a textbook for use in technology teacher training and also a reference book for technology teachers. It will provide a foundation for new teachers entering the area of technology, and also the opportunity for practicing teachers to keep up to date with research informed ideas about teaching technology. Technology in the curriculum has continually faced a range of challenges throughout its history in many counties. Often the basis of the challenges is the result of a lack of understanding about good technology practice. It is hoped that this book can encourage excellent practice in technology teaching and so increase the number of schools positively engaged with technology. The chapter authors are internationally respected and experienced educators who have been able to draw on both their teaching experience and their research in order to discuss a range of aspects of teaching technology. The book has been developed with an international audience in mind. While authors are naturally most familiar with their own country, efforts have been made to generalize from the principles of sound theory and research based practice to maximize applicability to local contexts. John Williams is the Director of the Technology, Environmental, Mathematics and Science Education Research Centre at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. He has worked as a designer and builder, and began his career as a secondary school Manual Arts teacher. He has taught and studied in Australia and the USA, and in a number of African and Indian Ocean countries. He has published and presented widely, and enjoys fishing.

While the Rena's recovered containers are remaining in the Bay of Plenty, the sand fouled by its leaked oil is being trucked nearly 150km away to Waikato.
Nearly 1000 tonnes of oily waste has been collected from beaches and rock pools across the region, and the closest site capable of handling it is a specially prepared pit at the Hampton Downs landfill.
The bulk of the waste will be contained within the 386ha landfill, which is Waikato's largest, with three layers of protective lining to stop the highly toxic oil escaping.
Des McCleary, project development manager for Envirowaste, which manages the site, said there were no cost-effective ways of recycling the muck.
"Not of all of it will be landfilled and, where available, alternative methods of disposal are being looked at."
In Mt Maunganui more than 1300 tonnes of liquid waste from the bird washing process at the oiled wildlife centre has been processed and clarified.

Known for its world-class action sports venues, Hood River now has a museum with a world-class collection of vintage airplanes, automobiles, motorcycles, tractors and firearms in the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum at the Hood River Airport.
Several commenters on my blog told me to visit Waaam, as the transportation-themed museum is affectionately known.
The museum, which opened in September 2007, claims to have the largest fying fleet of antique aircraft in the country. Some date to 1910.
All 58 aircraft on display can be rolled out of the oversized doors, fueled up at the Hood River Airport and take off into the skies. The same is true about the 82 antique automobiles on display, though they take to the roads instead of the air.
The museum shows off the lifelong collection of local resident Terry Brandt, as well as many aircraft and cars on loan from other owners. All are in mint condition.
The twin display halls themselves are a wonder to behold. They have 100,000 feet of display space and are paid for. Fundraising is on going for a third 50,000-square foot display hall.
The museum has another 30,000 square feet of restoration space, where about 30 aircraft are presently being restored.
The aircraft are primarily those used in America between the two world wars. The emphasis is not on military aircraft, because those are represented in many other museums. Rather, these are the planes that America learned to fly in, thus kick starting the aviation industry.
Kris Parks of Camas, Wash., who volunteers at the museum, is one of its biggest fans.
"I was blown away the day I walked into the place,'' he said. "They do things right and have great taste.''
Operated by a non-profit foundation, the museum relies entirely one volunteers, other than its salaried restoration chief.
Look for the museum on the southwest side of Hood River, off Tucker Road in the Heights part of town adjacent to the Hood River Airport. The address is 1600 Air Museum Road; 541-308-1600, www.waaamuseum.org.
As proof that the museum does things right, it is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for the three national holidays of autumn and winter.

Searching Outside the Box
My research efforts the last few years have been internet based. I'm beginning to get back out on the road starting to use cameras, GPS, portable scanners and mobile devices. I love them. But what has been most valuable to me with internet research has been thinking outside the box when it comes to search terms.
Get Wild
I've needed to get very creative in order to catch sight of my elusive relatives and capture their online information. Half my tree is made up of lovely 20th century immigrants with lovelier Eastern European names. Names they, as well as many census enumerators and immigration officials, had trouble spelling consistently in English. Wildcards, those wonderful symbols that replace one or more letters in a name, have been my salvation. The asterisk will replace up to 5 letters on Ancestry's search engines. A question mark will replace a single letter.
I looked repeatedly for my great-aunt Susanna Pereksta's immigration records. I found nothing until Ancestry.com and Steve Morse's superb One Step pages added the Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934 database. Using "Sus* Per*a" as a search term I found her indexed as Susie Perexta leaving Hamburg on Feb. 1, 1911. Those German indexers were pretty good spelling the Eastern European names. Not so for the American indexers. With a date I was able to search the other databases for an arrival record. When I searched for women with a surname of "Per*a" arriving in February, 1911 I found her. She was indexed as "Luria Peresla" in Ancestry.com's Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945 database. I love wildcards. Note that I had to drop her first name to find the record.
Wildcards work differently with Google and other internet search engines. The easiest way to find out what wildcards work with the engines you use is to search! A search of "wildcard search" and the name of the engine I want to use gives me a quick rundown of the options. Google, for instance, does not support the asterisk and question mark symbols in the same way as Ancestry.com. But you can use an asterisk to replace entire words in a phrase or put a search term in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.
Before Google Books revised its format and restricted searches of many books, I was able to confirm that a Margaret Meredith living in Baltimore in the early 1800s was the widow of one of my husband's distant great-uncles by searching for her with a business name " "Thomas Meredith * Co." Margaret Baltimore." I used the asterisk to allow for and or &. The search led me to a case cited in Monongalia County (West) Virginia, Records of the District, Superior, and County Courts: 1813-1817 by Melba Zinn (Heritage Books, 2009) where Margaret Meredith was named as a partner in the firm after the great-uncle's death.
Get Narrow
Another successful search strategy I've used has been to look for names or phrases that are more unique to narrow a search field. I found one of my Pereksta relatives in the 1930 census by searching for their youngest child at the time, their 2 year old daughter Olga. She turned up indexed as Olga Pereskata. Her father was indexed as John Pereskith and had eluded my previous searches.
My husband's ancestor Joseph Jones proved much easier to find when I searched using his daughters' names – Cansada, Brazilla and Talitha. Their names were rarely spelled the same way twice, so I again relied on wildcards. But I got far more targeted results than typing great-grandpa Joe's name.
I'm currently obsessed with searching Old Fulton NY Postcards after one of Caroline's 48 Hour Ephemera Challenges sent me there hunting for information about a dude with a long beard. "Dude with a long beard" didn't get me much, but I realized the collection of early 20th century New York newspapers might have information about my immigrant relatives. This website (as do many others) uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to search digital images of the newspapers which can get a little funky. I searched for a family named Tanch and got hundreds of real estate listings for small ranches. Not especially useful. My Sidor/Sedor/Szidor/Citar cousins can be a challenge since they took several generations to settle on a spelling.
Narrowing the searches to a specific city and date range helped, but it wasn't until I added the name of their church that I got useful results – and those results were a goldmine of information about the immigrant community. I stopped using surnames altogether and settled on searching for "St. Michael's" in Binghamton and for a given year. I found wedding announcements, death notices, youth group and fraternal organization activities. I got a sense of the church community that defined my grandparents lives in the United States.
I've used the same strategy to narrow newspaper searches for my Smith in-laws. Even in a small town there are lots and lots of Smiths. Lots. Adding "Dr." or "Catholic" or a street name to the searches has yielded far more useful results.
So get wild, but also get narrow when searching for your kinfolk. Add the name of your father's high school, your grandmother's business, the name of your cousin's college band or prize steer to your search terms. You may be amazed at what you find.

Partnership with Fauntleroy YMCA
STATEMENT OF PARTNERSHIP Fauntleroy YMCA and Fauntleroy Church UCC desire to continue to work as community partners in providing programs based on Christian values of justice, mercy, health, healing and love for all. The Church and the YMCA were planted in this community, belong to the community, and are here to respond to the needs of the community. Both organizations are committed to work together; we will treat one another--as staff and institutions and just ordinary folk--with respect and seek to resolve our differences in a just and loving way. There is no difficulty so great it will split us apart.
This partnership, dreamed and enacted by Laurence Colman, Fauntleroy Church, and the Fauntleroy community, affirms our common beliefs and goals, and recognizes differences in organizational structures. Therefore, a Memorandum of Understanding between the Fauntleroy United Church of Christ and the Fauntleroy YMCA, a branch of the YMCA of Greater Seattle was formalized in June 2007 to provide ongoing direction for processes and specific areas of responsibility to ensure the partnership will stay intact, will be based on cooperation, respect and mutual support, and will serve the people of the community, as first envisioned by the leadership of the Fauntleroy community.
The YMCA will waive the joining fee on a YMCA membership, a savings of up to $125 for a family, for Fauntleroy Church members and staff and Little Pilgrim School staff.
In addition to volunteer activity with the church, there are opportunities to help in the community by volunteering at the Fauntleroy YMCA. Opportunities for adults include branch board of managers; financial development, marketing or membership committees; program committees and many other opportunities. Students may volunteer at the front desk; participate in service-learning opportunities or in many other capacities.
Shared Programs
Many similar programs that focus on mind, spirit and body health are offered for both organizations. One of the latest programs that have been offered for middle aged kids is the Trail Blazers Program. The focus would be on outdoor activity with leadership development and physical skills.

PHILADELPHIA – The frustration is starting to set in for the Philadelphia 76ers.
After going into the All-Star break on an eight-game losing streak, the Sixers came out flat Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 114-85.
"As the season gets deeper and coaches dig in more, they learn a lot more about new players and we have a lot of new guys that are being scouted," said Sixers head coach Brett Brown. "Some of it I think at this stage of the year, when (losing) gets deflating legs aren't in it as much. You're confidence get shaken up."
Things fell apart early for the Sixers. After the teams traded baskets to open the game tied at five, a nice drive by Tyler Zeller set up by Kyrie Irving sparked a 13-3 Cavalier run and Cleveland never looked back. On two separate occasions, the Sixers got within five points in the second quarter, but it would be the closest they would get for the rest of the game.
Thaddeus Young put back on offensive rebound with 8:41 to go in the first half to cut the Cavalier lead to 38-33. They responded with a 9-0 run and never let the Sixers get back within less than 12 points.
The Sixers seemed to give up on the game early, not looking to run any offense as they chucked up bad shot after bad shot. They finished the game shooting 36 percent from the floor – and only 23 percent from behind the arc.
"I think there were some effort problems, there's no doubt," said Brown. "You can't hide from them. When you're losing games and you're at this stage of the year, there's a beat-down affect that we're trying to avoid. I want these guys feeling good about themselves."
The biggest advantage that the Cavs enjoyed was in the front court. Tyler Zeller and Tristan Thompson each recorded double doubles as Zeller finished with 18 points and 15 rebounds and Thompson had 12 and 10.
Before the game, the Sixers honored Bensalem High School team manager Kevin Grow – who they signed to a ceremonial two-day contract after his touching story swept the nation when he got a chance to enter a game and scored. The Sixers gave the sharp-shooting high school team manager with down syndrome his own locker and jersey.
"It's been fun having him around," said Sixers center Spencer Hawes. "I remember seeing his story the first time and thinking how cool it was…. For as much bad that comes out of social media, it's good to see stories like that when they do go viral and the positive (effect) it can have on everybody."
The number on his jersey, which had his name on the back, was No. 33 – a now infamous number in for the Sixers.
"We had a guy that had the number last year," Sixers guard Evan Turner said to Grow, referring to Andrew Bynum. "He never wore it, so it's all yours."Contact staff writer Wes Szafran at 856-845-9478 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Chateau Potelle
Napa Valley AVA
American Winery of the year 2007 - 92 Points Wine & Spirits
Many wineries in California are the stuff dreams are made of and Napa Valley's Chateau Potelle is no exception. In fact, its location and general appearance cause it to be called a dream winery more often than not. Perched above fabled Mt. Veeder's summit on the Mayacamas Range's eastern slope at an altitude of 1800 feet, Chateau Potelle is the antithesis of a modern looking winery. It is tucked away in relative obscurity in much the same way some collectors hide away their prized possessions. Nevertheless, Chateau Potelle was founded on classic winemaking ideals by a French couple that originally came to the United States as employees of the ENRO or appellation controlee segment of the French wine government. The couple, Marketta and Jean-Noel Fourmeaux, was sent to California in 1980 to taste as many wines as possible and report back to France on their quality and various aspects of vineyard management and winemaking philosophy. After six months and more than 2000 wines, the pair sent word back to France that they intended on staying in California. They returned home for their two young daughters and came to Napa Valley to stay.
'What we found in Napa Valley was something we considered as a wonderful opportunity,' offered Jean-Noel Fourmeaux. 'During the early 1980's much of Napa's output was still heavy and wood laden, and lacking in finesse. Since we were part of the Bordeaux wine government, we thought Napa would be ideal for a different style of wine. The fruit that was available was truly outstanding, it was simply our opinion that the wines just needed to be more refined.' By 1988, the couple's five year search for the ideal property ended with the purchase of a 202 acre estate near the top of Mt. Veeder.
'At no time did we consider anything other than mountainside property,' Jean-Noel Fourmeaux explained. 'It had been our experience that the hillsides had it all over the valley flatlands in every way, in particular when it came to producing the intensity and character of the wines.' Fourmeaux borrowed his 900-year-old family estate name from France and Chateau Potelle became a reality. The new company's first release was around 3,000 cases, which has since grown to over 25,000 cases this year. From the beginning, Chateau Potelle gained early press acceptance and followed it up with a large number of competitive awards that assured the winery's future. During the early years of development, it was Chateau Potelle's intention to strengthen the tie between wine and food, particularly the new style of American cuisine that was just beginning to appear.
'There were a number of great young American chefs that were creating a unique style of cuisine and I wanted our wines to really compliment their efforts. I felt that if the new cuisine proved successful, so would our wines. It's easy to see the rest of the story.' Five years ago, with Chateau Potelle solidly ensconced, the Fourmeauxs decided to split up and take separate paths in the wine business. Earlier this year, industry giant Jackson Family Wines (Jess Jackson of Kendall-Jackson Fame) bought the winery and estate, but Jean-Noel Fourmeaux retained control of the Chateau Potelle name and existing inventory.
'They made us an offer we simply couldn't refuse,' he said resolutely. 'But I sold the property with another project in mind and I am presently seeking a new location to begin another winery.' Fourmeaux said that the new property is somewhere in Napa Valley and should become his possession by this summer. 'I know what I am looking for and I don't think it will be all that difficult,' he added.
'What I have to be careful of is that the place doesn't get too hot. Too much heat is bad for the vines. Most growers are always looking for less heat, and I intend to be sure the place is right for what I want to do.' Fourmeaux intends to keep the Chateau Potelle presence alive with his new venture and also the distinctive VGS (Very Good Stuff) logo that has become an important part of Chateau Potelle's distinctive appearance. He also intends to limit the new facility's production to around 7,000 cases in order 'to be able to produce the very finest wines possible.' Jean-Noel Fourmeaux is a proven veteran of the Napa wine scene with enough accolades to last a lifetime. We know he will continue to be successful.

The United Nations is advising the Philippines to be ready for an upcoming big earthquake. A quake with a magnitude of 7.2 or higher on the Richter scale is sure to hit Metro Manila, they say, but the bigger question is when exactly this will happen.
The Earthquakes and Megacities Initiative (EMI) report published in 2004 predicts that an earthquake with a high magnitude will surely occur because of the Philippine Fault Zone (also called the Marikina Valley Fault System), but experts can't predict when this disaster may happen. According to the report, the death toll may reach about 35,000, some 145,000 people may be injured while around 175,000 buildings will be damaged.
Where exactly is the West Marikina Valley Fault Line? It lies northeast of Manila and traverses Marikina , Pasig going to Muntinlupa down to the south. Instead of being afraid and all panicky, we should make sure we are ready should an earthquake happen.
And for those who are located at fault line or near the said fault line make sure to leave the place as soon as possible, it is much better to avoid as early as possible than to wait for the disaster to happen.
Here is the List Of Major Fault Lines Of the Philippines
- Marikina Valley Fault (Montalban-San Mateo- Marikina – Pasig -Taguig- Muntinlupa-San Pedro-Binan-Carmona-Santa Rosa-Calamba-Tagaytay-Oriental Mindoro)
- Western Philippine Fault ( Luzon Sea-Mindoro Strait-Panay Gulf-Sulu Sea )
- Eastern Philippine Fault ( Philippine Sea )
- Southern of Mindanao Fault ( Moro Gulf-Celebes Sea )
- Central Philippine Fault (Entire Ilocos Norte-Aurora-Quezon-Masbate-Eastern Leyte-Southern Leyte-Agusan Del Norte-Agusan Del Sur-Davao del Norte)
- The earthquake that destroyed Guinsaugon is the Central Philippine Fault
- The 1990 earthquake that destroyed Central Luzon and Baguio is also the Central Philippine Fault.
Of these, the MARIKINA VALLEY FAULT poses the greatest danger because it cuts through all the modern and progressive portions of Manila such as Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas Center, Bonifacio Global City, Ayala Center, and Alabang. Also, the PhiVolcs people have warned that this fault line can move anytime because it is already "11 years late" for its movement.

Pennsylvania has the second-highest rate of black homicide victims in the nation, and Philadelphia was responsible for more than half of those slayings, according to a study released yesterday by the Violence Policy Center in Washington.
The study looked at 2008 FBI data, the most recent available, and found that 449 of the state's homicide victims that year were black, which resulted in a black homicide rate of 31.05 per 100,000.
Of those victims, 263 were killed in Philadelphia. Pittsburgh had the second-most black homicide victims with 66, and Chester came in third with 16, according to statistics provided by the Violence Policy Center.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Sunday that the controversial full-body scanners and invasive pat-downs being employed at airports across the nation will not be going away any time soon.
"You know, we're always looking to improve systems and so forth. But the new technology, the pat-downs, is just objectively safer for our traveling public," Napolitano said in a CNN interview broadcast Sunday.
Napolitano added that such measures are part of a vast improvement in airline security since the so-called 'underwear bomber' tried to blow up a passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas Day a year ago.
"We pick up contraband now, and we pick up more contraband with the new procedures and the new machinery," she said. "Everything is objectively better than it was a year ago, particularly in the aviation environment."
