Re: Sunday Funnies
I noticed Gordon Wittenmeyer (sun-times) hasn't been around since the Phils series...must be on vacation otherwise he would have been all over the Lilly stuff
Re: Sunday Funnies
Tribune/Sullivan goes over the Stone/Kaplan/Bradley rumor stuff...
"I don't pay attention to rumors," he said. "I'm always rumored. I'm one of them guys that are multi-talented, can do a lot of things. I'm not surprised. It's just a rumor."
A Cubs official then told Bradley the rumor was "100 percent untrue." Bradley began berating the media for spreading the rumor, calling it "garbage."
and this quote from Hendry on Soto...
Does Soto need to get in better condition to avoid injuries like his oblique strain?
"No, he's naturally a big-boned guy," Hendry said. "I don't think his weight is any different than last year when he won [N.L.] Rookie of the Year. He came to camp in real good shape, gained a few pounds after the [World Baseball Classic]. He's never going to be tall and skinny, but he's not overweight."
Re: Sunday Funnies
Re: Sunday Funnies
Sullivan/Tribune article about Lilly but has brief mention that BJ Ryan, who reports to Iowa monday, may be with the Cubs as soon as next weekend (in Florida vs Marlins)
Poo Poop a doop...
AP photo of Big and Little Z
The Cubs' day began innocently enough when Carlos Zambrano's dog, "Little Z," left a present in front of the locker of Kosuke Fukudome's Japanese hitting coach.
"That means good luck," Kyosuke Sasaki said.
also this quote that I really like...
Hart credited Lilly for sitting next to him on the bench and giving advice.
"Teddy's a gamer," he said. "You just try to bring the same energy he brings every time he takes the mound. He's a great guy to sit right next to you going over hitters."

Re: Run differentials, Cards, etc.
ROB G: Did you happen to catch the run diff. for the Astros? I have not, but just can't imagine with their pitching staff that they will remain in this race much longer. Wtf!? I mean RUSS ORTIZ???
Re: Sunday Funnies
Since I have been out of the country w/out consistent WiFi, was there any talk here why the Cubs did not make a play for Julio Lugo?
The team does not have a credible SS back-up that can hit.
I don't get it.
What were the details here? Waiver? Trade?
I fucking hate the Cardinals.
Re: Sunday Funnies
he sucks?
Re: Sunday Funnies
Soriano hitting .358 in July w/ .940 OPS. 64 ABs. Granted, I think he didnt get moved down the order until July 4th or so, but does this finally dispel the"Soriano can't be moved out of the leadoff spot" bullshit?
Re: Sunday Funnies
I'm not even in that camp, but 64 AB's doesn't dispel shit.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Fewer than 64 ABs were used to prove he couldn't hit down the order...
Re: Sunday Funnies
No, they didn't
People may have said he can't hit other places after fewer than 64 ABs, but 64 at bats could never prove that. Just like how 64 ABs doesn't prove that he's a better hitter in the 6 hole.
Having said that, it looks like Sori's heating up now. Len and Bob said he's hitting 392 or something since he moved to 6. CAUTION: It is a coincidence that he's hitting now and hitting 6th
Re: Sunday Funnies
just glad he's hitting...don't care where
Re: Sunday Funnies
I was using the term "prove" sarcastically.
Re: Sunday Funnies
a call goes the Cubs way...
Re: Sunday Funnies
Martinez, Lee for Loney and maybe Billingsley or Kershaw and a prospect...
Re: Sunday Funnies
I assume Martinez would become a 1B full-time in this move?
Re: Sunday Funnies
That was the speculation, but now Rosenthal is reporting his own rumor as false.
hell yeah...
have to hold on for 66 games..
Re: FIRST PLACE!!!!
Let's make a run towards .600 ball at the same time, OK?

PTBNL in DeRosa to Cards trade...
Jess Todd.
I think this is fantastic news. Todd came into the year as the Cards' #4 prospect, and has a 2.20 ERA in 49 innings at Triple A.
Re: PTBNL in DeRosa to Cards trade...
Yeah Cardinals fans REALLY like this guy. I've seen his name mentioned alot lately on Cardinals boards wanting him to be called up.
Anyway we are in first f*ing place! woo hoo! This team is FINALLY playing like we thought it might at the beginning of the season. Not a moment too soon.
Lets keep it up and take 3 out of 4 from Houston.
Re: PTBNL in DeRosa to Cards trade...
While the Card's losing a great prospect helps the Cubs, I'm sure Hendry was none too thrilled. The Injuns got half a season of Dero and better prospects back. Perhaps Hendry can intern with Shapiro next season, maybe learn a few things.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Harden pitching, Aram hitting like bad-asses. Soriano over .250, driving in runners.
First place.
Could get used to this.
Re: Sunday Funnies
And... Fontenot STILL sucks!
Someone here during the first week of July mentioned his "torrid start in July".
Well, since that time he has gone from bad to worse:
LAst 14 - .259 .286 .556, 28 PA's
LAst 7 - .067 .125 .267, 16 PA's
Jim Hendry is still a fucking asshole for trading DeRosa and counting on this guy. I hope he can pull it together like some of the other guys have been post-ASG, but if he cannot soon, he's gonna land in Iowa real soon.
Ronny Cedeno still has not cracked the Mendoza line in Seattle yet, however. He also was tagged out while trying to tag up from first.
Re: Sunday Funnies
"Jim Hendry is still a fucking asshole for trading DeRosa and counting on this guy"
I think Lou is just as much to blame for counting on Fontenot. I'm sure he was in Hendry's ear.
Re: Sunday Funnies
I don't think any other team in baseball would start Fontenot. Maybe KC, but that's about it.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Wow, maybe Padres, too.
We just took back First Place...
and you people can only complain? Get a life and be happy for once.
Re: We just took back First Place...
Sorry you construe criticism of a player who has had a bad year - thought to be the "starter" in ST - with "getting a life".
The baseball season has not ended today, has it? And, the Cubs have won nothing. So requesting a player play better is not out of bounds at all.
I have a life, BTW, which includes - but is not limited to - going to many Cub games at the ballpark.
Re: We just took back First Place...
well, let's put it this way: if you live your life the way you comment on this blog, you will stress your way to a shorter life.
i just wish some of us would not fret about every little thing and just learn to relax and take joy in every victory. trust me, you will live longer and you will enjoy your life more.
Re: We just took back First Place...
10-Man: You are probably right. This can be said about many people, but I certainly cannot deny part of it. However, no-where in any other areas of my life have I followed something so passionately for 41 years only to be "kicked-to-the-curb" time and time again.
It is my stupidity for taking this franchise too seriously sometimes. I wonder how many Red Sox fans felt the same way until they won the WS recently?
Anyway, thanks sincerely for your comments.
Levine's latest
pretty much a repeat of yesterday...
Grabow, Sherrill, Beimel, Rhodes are relievers mentioned
Davis, Garland, Gorzelanny as starters mentioned...
throws in Teahan and O. Cabrera as well...
scouts from A's, White Sox, Tigers, Brewers, O's and Blue Jays scouted the series...
Re: Sunday Funnies
Cubs win, move into first...and Milton rips the fans. The same fans who were standing and cheering in the second inning.
Maybe he was in a bad mood for taking another called third strike with a runner on third and no outs.
What a complete and total dick. If he has a boom box, it should be smashed.
Re: Sunday Funnies
I found this, more ripping the media...although he says he didn't notice any of the cheers.
Re: Milton
Who the fuck cares?
If he continues to get the job done, I could give a shit.
I have been to plenty of games where he has been mercilessly booed. So - this is the guy Hendry signed for three years. We have to deal with it.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Kelly Johnson starting to heat up for the Braves after a miserable year, but doesn't appear to be knocking off Martin Prado from 2b anytime soon. Braves have no pop at first base with Kotchman "sluggin" at .385/4HR clip.
Johnson's HR/OBP/SLG
2007 16/375/457
2008 12/349/446
2009 5/288/362
He's no savior, he may continue to suck, but he's 27 and has shown Derosa type offensive skills in 2007-2008 over full seasons. Maybe Jake Fox could cure the power outage at first for the Braves?
Re: Sunday Funnies
Fox for Johnson? I think that would be an absolute steal for the Braves. Johnson for 'sorta prospect' Bingo!
Washburn to Brewers rumor
No Rest for the Weary...
4-game set versus the NL Central's hottest team starting tomorrow, then the Cubs nemesis...3 on the road at Florida.
Re: Sunday Funnies
The End of Spin-0-Rama?
Kosuke Fukudome's Japanese hitting coach, Kyosuke Sasaki, departed Sunday after spending a week with Fukudome and working out some mechanics in his swing.
''He did a really nice job, and I told him that,'' Piniella said. ''We thank him for being here, and we were very appreciative and grateful to him and invited him back. He'll be back in September.''
Piniella noted the coach incorporated a slight knee turn that has helped Fukudome from spinning after an at-bat.
Re: Sunday Funnies
I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs pick up Cabrera and Sherrill... I think both could definitely help, for the right price...
Re: Sunday Funnies
The Orioles are going to be asking for what you would expect for a closer for Sherrill, but the Cubs would use him as a setup man. I can't see how he would come at "the right price".
Arthur Rhodes would be a better target, unless Pinhead has some problem with him.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Oh, The Fake Bob, you always come up with the funniest nicknames.
Re: Sunday Funnies
I agree with The Real Neal (rare, I know). Rhodes will give you almost as good production as a LH setup pitcher. Plus, I'm a big believer of having experienced, journeyman pitchers in the bullpen. No sense in overpaying for Sherrill.
Re: Sunday Funnies
First Place?!?!?!? 3 up in the loss column!
Go Cubs Go....Go Cubs Go...
I just might be visiting Chicago in October after all.

Re: Sunday Funnies

Re: Sunday Funnies
I love Bradley continuing to swing at 3-0 pitches and fouling them off.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Maybe a bit more from the left side?
Re: Sunday Funnies
....while also taking close pitches with 2 strikes and being shocked --- shocked! -- when he is called out.
Re: Sunday Funnies
. Plus, I'm a big believer of having experienced, journeyman pitchers in the bullpen.
howry, eyre, remlinger, hawkins, heilman, cfox, leiber, rusch, veres, aguillera, guthrie, alfonseca, weathers, van poppel, karchner
i'm agnostic on this topic...but dont recall acquiring one that really helped make a difference
Re: Sunday Funnies
Rod Beck!!!!
Seriously though, I'm with you on this one, Cubster. I've always said I'd much rather take the best young pitchers our minor leagues have to offer and start their careers in the bullpen rather than spend $2-3 million on guys like Howry, Eyre, Remlinger, LaTroy, et al.
Re: Sunday Funnies
Great Names! Aguilera and van Poppel.
Nice trip down (bad) memory lane.
Re: Sunday Funnies
a big believer of having experienced, journeyman pitchers in the bullpen.
and although the trade was from Ed Lynch's (not Hendry) at the trade deadline...Karchner for Garland should be a lesson learned for all GM's out there who trade for mediocre middle reliever help at the deadline.
Re: Sunday Funnies
and another Ed Lynch trade with a hefty pricetag:
Rick Aguillera
...before the Twins traded the 37-year-old and pitcher Scott Downs to the Chicago Cubs for Kyle Lohse and Jason Ryan.
I guess Scott Downs was a nice haul here...he eventually went to the Expos...July 31, 2000, he was traded by the Cubs to the Expos for Rondell White.
Ed Lynch is still on the Cubs payroll! (an old Murph line), but it's still true.
...listed as Special Assistant to the General Manager
(I say he's got unsavory pics of Zell/Crane Kenney/Hendry/Dusty/Lou and a few others...hopefully not any Ricketts in his photo inventory)

Ted Blackmar (Hamilton College Class of 1944) is a retired physician. Founder of Forestcraft, a wilderness camp in the Adirondacks, Blackmar worked with camp children, sharing his love of the mountains, for more than 50 years. He also served as a school physician at the Peddie School and The Lawrenceville School prior his retirement in 1975.
Blackmar's profession allowed him to spend significant time exploring many wildernesses in New York State and around the world including Utah, Alaska, Patagonia, Switzerland, and Nepal. Born in New York City and raised in Scarsdale, Blackmar spent his summers with family in the Adirondacks. He has been a photographer since childhood.
The exhibition includes outdoor nature photography from many countries selected from nearly 40,000 slides in his collection. Nicole Lamanski and Grace Epstein, members of the Class of 2004, worked with David Nathans, Acting Director of the Emerson Gallery, to curate this summer exhibition.

Brock, 33, who was charged with theft and resisting arrest shortly after leaving Copabanana with his cousin and a friend on June 16, was found not guilty Thursday of the theft charge following a two-day trial at the Criminal Justice Center. He was cleared of the resisting arrest charge at a previous trial.
"It feels great," Brock said Friday. "Everybody blew it up in the media and they made me look like a bad person. To have been found not guilty of these two charges really helped me out."

my wife and i had our first in Aug. the pregnancy went very well but the birth was very scary, emergency cesarean and my wife was in intensive care for a few days. my daughter is nearly three months old now and is very hard work! she had colic quite bad for the first six weeks and acid reflux too. she isnt very bothered about sleeping and has days where she'll go 12-15 hours with hardly any sleep. shes very alert and very inquisitive.
all ill say is there is your life before the baby and after; the former is now just a memory!

As a reminder, please keep in mind that the intake process for students who have attended your program in the 2014-15 program year will differ if the adult considered a continuing or returning student.
As described in the e-Data System manual, agencies are not required to have continuing students as defined below complete a new intake form. All demographic information, with the exception of address/email/phone number updates, must remain the same as at original intake, including Labor Force Status and Highest Grade Completed.
Continuing student
From one program year to the next, a student should be considered a "continuing student" if
1.) There is a gap of no more than 90 days in instruction for that individual from one program year to the next, OR
2.) The individual is active when the class/group ends in the spring and starts again at the beginning of the class/group in the fall.
Returning student
Any student who leaves a program during one program year and returns in the next, who does not meet the above criteria, is a "returning student." Agencies must have returning students complete a new intake form and enter that data.
For additional information, please contact e-Data Tech Support at 877-857-8869 or email@example.com.

We're sorry for claiming Captain Kirk was in command of Captain Picard's starship
- From: news.com.au
- November 03, 2010
- There were many USS Enterprises
- Kirk didn't captain them all
- Patrick Stewart is handsome
YESTERDAY, a news.com.au article incorrectly stated that the Star Trek starship USS Enterprise-E, otherwise known as model NNC-1701-E, was the successor to Captain Kirk's original USS Enterprise.
It has since been brought to our attention that the NNC-1701-E in fact came two models after Captain Kirk retired and was under the command of Captain Jean Luc Picard.
Read the original, poorly-researched article here
User "Your Mum's Lunch" led the charge of those who correctly pointed out that after losing the original Enterprise to the Klingons, Captain Kirk was given the Excelsior Class Enterprise-B as a stop-gap measure until the refit of the Enterprise-A was completed.
Kirk's last ship was the Ambassador Class Enterprise-C.
Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E were in fact, the first of the Galaxy Class models and were under the command of Captain Picard.
There were also some concerns about whether the incorrect use of the term "hyperspace" in describing warp drive technology may harm the original Star Trek concept, particularly the books.
News.com.au apologises unreservedly for the error.
There was no intention whatsoever to suggest Captain Kirk may have commanded the Galaxy Class Starships Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E.
Any damage to the Star Trek brand incurred by the use of the term "hyperspace" is regretful.
No malice was intended and a correction to the original article will be made.
We also agree that Patrick Stewart is a handsome man, a sentiment expressed by several readers.
Addendum - We're also sorry for any errors in this apology.
Have your say

CDB Posted at 12:56 AM November 12, 2010
Oh, looks like there's a rather large hole in the collective (no reference to fictitious beings intended) sense of humour here! I really do hope that this article was written in the ironic tone of voice I can't help hearing when read it...or was it actually meant as a real apology to all those who regard something that's as real as Hogwarts as being important to their lives?
HelloMouse Posted at 11:51 PM November 11, 2010
Correction: Patrick Stewart is not a man, he is a god.

To provide a context, I intended to review this book for my own personal enjoyment and for consideration as a supplemental text for an undergraduate college course, production languages, which I teach in C and C++. I was happy overall with this book, so I will start with the pros. This book is great for beginners and I believe that I will recommend it for those that are still developing a programming foundation. I feel that the book reads well, provides nice definitions, has good organization, and is nicely complemented through ok examples and implementation.
On the other not so positive side, I failed to see the 'definitive' word that the title included. The authors make reference to how this book is a blend of theory and implementation, which turns out to be no real theory but rather just domain and background information mixed in with syntax, libraries, and code examples. I saw little 'code tips', but never felt that I directly learned from these 'experts'. This is not a bad thing, but 'experts' and 'moderately experienced' network programmers will more then likely pick nothing up from this book. I feel that the majority of this book is just a summarization of information I have found on the WWW, but put together in one nice and convenient package that I will keep on the shelf as a reference manual.
In summary, this book will bring any beginner up to speed and it will be worth the price they are asking.

Higher: A Historic Race to the Sky and the Making of a Cityby Neal Bascomb
The Roaring Twenties in New York was a time of exuberant ambition, free-flowing optimism, an explosion of artistic expression in the age of Prohibition. New York was the city that embodied the spirit and strength of a newly powerful America. In 1924, in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, a fierce rivalry was born. Two architects, William Van Alen and Craig Severance (former friends and successful partners, but now bitter adversaries), set out to imprint their individual marks on the greatest canvas in the world--the rapidly evolving skyline of New York City. Each man desired to build the city's tallest building, or 'skyscraper. ' Each would stop at nothing to outdo his rival. Van Alen was a creative genius who envisioned a bold, contemporary building that would move beyond the tired architecture of the previous century. By a stroke of good fortune he found a larger-than-life patron in automobile magnate Walter Chrysler, and they set out to build the legendary Chrysler building. Severance, by comparison, was a brilliant businessman, and he tapped his circle of downtown, old-money investors to begin construction on the Manhattan Company Building at 40 Wall Street. From ground-breaking to bricklaying, Van Alen and Severance fought a cunning duel of wills. Each man was forced to revamp his architectural design in an attempt to push higher, to overcome his rival in mid-construction, as the structures rose, floor by floor, in record time. Yet just as the battle was underway, a third party entered the arena and announced plans to build an even larger building. This project would be overseen by one of Chrysler's principal rivals--a representative of the General Motors group--and the building ultimately became known as The Empire State Building. Infused with narrative thrills and perfectly rendered historical and engineering detail, Higher brings to life a sensational episode in American history. Author Neal Bascomb interweaves characters such as Al Smith and Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, leading up to an astonishing climax that illustrates one of the most ingenious (and secret) architectural achievements of all time.
Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Naziby Neal Bascomb
Hunting Eichmann is the first complete narrative of a relentless and harrowing international manhunt.When the Allies stormed Berlin in the last days of the Third Reich, Adolf Eichmann shed his SS uniform and vanished. Following his escape from two American POW camps, his retreat into the mountains and out of Europe, and his path to an anonymous life in Buenos Aires, his pursuers are a bulldog West German prosecutor, a blind Argentinean Jew and his beautiful daughter, and a budding, ragtag spy agency called the Mossad, whose operatives have their own scores to settle (and whose rare surveillance photographs are published here for the first time). The capture of Eichmann and the efforts by Israeli agents to secret him out of Argentina to stand trial is the stunning conclusion to this thrilling historical account, told with the kind of pulse-pounding detail that rivals anything you'd find in great spy fiction.
The Nazi Huntersby Neal Bascomb
A thrilling spy mission, a moving Holocaust story, and a first-class work of narrative nonfiction. In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Eichmann, the head of operations for the Nazis' Final Solution, walked into the mountains of Germany and vanished from view. Sixteen years later, an elite team of spies captured him at a bus stop in Argentina and smuggled him to Israel, resulting in one of the century's most important trials -- one that cemented the Holocaust in the public imagination. THE NAZI HUNTERS is the thrilling and fascinating story of what happened between these two events. Survivor Simon Wiesenthal opened Eichmann's case; a blind Argentinean and his teenage daughter provided crucial information. Finally, the Israeli spies -- many of whom lost family in the Holocaust -- embarked on their daring mission, recounted here in full. Based on the adult bestseller HUNTING EICHMANN, which is now in development as a major film, and illustrated with powerful photos throughout, THE NAZI HUNTERS is a can't-miss work of narrative nonfiction for middle-grade and YA readers.
The New Cool: A Visionary Teacher, His First Robotics Team, and the Ultimate Battle of Smartsby Neal Bascomb
That Monday afternoon, in high-school gyms across America, kids were battling for the only glory American culture seems to want to dispense to the young these days: sports glory. But at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, in a gear-cluttered classroom, a different type of "cool" was brewing. A physics teacher with a dream - the first public high-school teacher ever to win a MacArthur Genius Award -- had rounded up a band of high-I.Q. students who wanted to put their technical know-how to work. If you asked these brainiacs what the stakes were that first week of their project, they'd have told you it was all about winning a robotics competition - building the ultimate robot and prevailing in a machine-to-machine contest in front of 25,000 screaming fans at Atlanta's Georgia Dome. But for their mentor, Amir Abo-Shaeer, much more hung in the balance. The fact was, Amir had in mind a different vision for education, one based not on rote learning -- on absorbing facts and figures -- but on active creation. In his mind's eye, he saw an even more robust academy within Dos Pueblos that would make science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) cool again, and he knew he was poised on the edge of making that dream a reality. All he needed to get the necessary funding was one flashy win - a triumph that would firmly put his Engineering Academy at Dos Pueblos on the map. He imagined that one day there would be a nation filled with such academies, and a new popular veneration for STEM - a "new cool" - that would return America to its former innovative glory. It was a dream shared by Dean Kamen, a modern-day inventing wizard - often-called "the Edison of his time" - who'd concocted the very same FIRST Robotics Competition that had lured the kids at Dos Pueblos. Kamen had created FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) nearly twenty years prior. And now, with a participant alumni base approaching a million strong, he felt that awareness was about to hit critical mass. But before the Dos Pueblos D'Penguineers could do their part in bringing a new cool to America, they'd have to vanquish an intimidating lineup of "super-teams"- high-school technology goliaths that hailed from engineering hot spots such as Silicon Valley, Massachusetts' Route 128 technology corridor, and Michigan's auto-design belt. Some of these teams were so good that winning wasn't just hoped for every year, it was expected. In The New Cool, Neal Bascomb manages to make even those who know little about - or are vaguely suspicious of - technology care passionately about a team of kids questing after a different kind of glory. In these kids' heartaches and headaches - and yes, high-five triumphs -- we glimpse the path not just to a new way of educating our youth but of honoring the crucial skills a society needs to prosper. A new cool.From the Hardcover edition.
One More Stepby Neal Bascomb Bonner Paddock
In 2008, Bonner Paddock summited 19,341-foot-high mount kilimanjaro, the world's tallest freestanding mountain. Four years later, he earned the elite triathlete title kona Ironman. Thousands have done each individually. Bonner is the first person with cerebral palsy to do both.Bonner Paddock grew up just wanting to be ordinary. Despite his skinny legs and habit of tripping over nothing, he fought to keep up with his athletic older brothers, learned to battle riptides with his grandfather on close watch, and did everything he could to feel like a regular kid, even when it became clear he wasn't. After being diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age eleven, Bonner didn't let it limit him--instead he simply ignored its existence. For the next eighteen years, he guarded the truth about his health, building a normal life and keeping his secret from everyone--most of all himself.But the sudden death of a friend's young son named Jake, a boy who also suffered from cerebral palsy, forced Bonner to reevaluate who he was. No longer content striving for normal, he began to pursue one breathtaking experience after another in Jake's memory, never hiding from his physical limitations and, in the process, raising international awareness about cerebral palsy. T is appetite for challenges led him to the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro where, pushing his fragile body to the brink and barely surviving, he braved one mountain only to discover that he still had farther to climb.Embracing his weaknesses to understand his strengths, he then pursued the ultimate adventure: testing his mind, body, and will at the Ironman in Kona, Hawaii, a race regarded by many as the hardest on earth. Along the way he forged a renewed bond with his family and launched a foundation to help disabled children in Africa and at home.In the end, his remarkable journey took him across the globe and introduced him to a compelling cast of characters--from Tanzanian mountain guides to top-class surgeons, to disabled children, to champion athletes--all of whom inspired his quest. Infused with his irresistible charisma, courage, and heart, and illustrated with sixteen pages of color photos, One More Step is a gripping story of human perseverance that demonstrates how our lives are not defined by limits, but by the moments and lessons that push us past them.
The Perfect Mile: Three Athletes, One Goal, and Less Than Four Minutes to Achieve Itby Neal Bascomb
There was a time when running the mile in four minutes was believed to be beyond the limits of human foot speed, and in all of sport it was the elusive holy grail. In 1952, after suffering defeat at the Helsinki Olympics, three world-class runners each set out to break this barrier. Roger Bannister was a young English medical student who epitomized the ideal of the amateur - still driven not just by winning but by the nobility of the pursuit. John Landy was the privileged son of a genteel Australian family, who as a boy preferred butterfly collecting to running but who trained relentlessly in an almost spiritual attempt to shape his body to this singular task. Then there was Wes Santee, the swaggering American, a Kansas farm boy and natural athlete who believed he was just plain better than everybody else.Spanning three continents and defying the odds, their collective quest captivated the world and stole headlines from the Korean War, the atomic race, and such legendary figures as Edmund Hillary, Willie Mays, Native Dancer, and Ben Hogan. In the tradition of Seabiscuit and Chariots of Fire, Neal Bascomb delivers a breathtaking story of unlikely heroes and leaves us with a lasting portrait of the twilight years of the golden age of sport.
Red Mutinyby Neal Bascomb
In 1905 more than seven hundred Russian sailors mutinied against their officers aboard the battleship Potemkin, one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Led by the charismatic firebrand Matyushenko, they risked their lives to take control of their ship and fly the red flag of revolution. What followed was a violent port-to-port chase that spanned eleven harrowing days and came to symbolize the Russian Revolution itself. This pulse-pounding story alternates between the opulent court of Nicholas II and the drama on the high seas. Neal Bascomb combines extensive research and fresh information from Soviet archives to tell the true story of the deadliest naval mutiny in history. Red Mutiny is a terrific adventure filled with epic naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery, bloodlust, and the rallying cries of freedom.
Sabotage: The Mission to Destroy Hitler's Atomic Bombby Neal Bascomb
A stunning adventure involving Nazis, nukes, fighting, failure, and everyday heroes, from the author of the award-winning The Nazi Hunters. Neal Bascomb delivers another nail-biting work of nonfiction for young adults in this incredible true story of spies and survival. The invasion begins at night, with German cruisers slipping into harbor, and soon the Nazis occupy all of Norway. They station soldiers throughout the country. They institute martial rule. And at Vemork, an industrial fortress high above a dizzying gorge, they gain access to an essential ingredient for the weapon that could end World War II: Hitler's very own nuclear bomb. When the Allies discover the plans for the bomb, they agree Vemork must be destroyed. But after a British operation fails to stop the Nazis' deadly designs, the task falls to a band of young Norwegian commandos. Armed with little more than skis, explosives, and great courage, they will survive months in the snowy wilderness, elude a huge manhunt, and execute two dangerous missions. The result? The greatest act of sabotage in all of World War II.
The Winter Fortress: The Epic Mission to Sabotage Hitler's Atomic Bombby Neal Bascomb
From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of Hunting Eichmann and The Perfect Mile, an epic adventure and spy story about the greatest act of sabotage in all of World War II. It's 1942 and the Nazis are racing to be the first to build a weapon unlike any known before. They have the physicists, they have the uranium, and now all their plans depend on amassing a single ingredient: heavy water, which is produced in Norway's Vemork, the lone plant in all the world that makes this rare substance. Under threat of death, Vemork's engineers push production into overdrive. For the Allies, the plant must be destroyed. But how would they reach the castle fortress set on a precipitous gorge in one of the coldest, most inhospitable places on Earth? Based on a trove of top secret documents and never-before-seen diaries and letters of the saboteurs, The Winter Fortress is an arresting chronicle of a brilliant scientist, a band of spies on skies, perilous survival in the wild, sacrifice for one's country, Gestapo manhunts, soul-crushing setbacks, and a last-minute operation that would end any chance Hitler could obtain the atomic bomb--and alter the course of the war.

Our focus this week is on financial behavior in the office.
People find themselves in difficult situations with co-workers where the proper course of action isn't always clear. To start, what should you do if your co-worker asks you to grab a sandwich or a coffee and never pays you back?
So I think the most important thing is to avoid getting bitter if this situation occurs. If you begin to resent a co-worker over a cup of coffee, that leads to a very unhealthy working environment. I think one really good strategy is to politely ask for the money before you leave. This is as simple as sending an email saying, "Hey, I'm going on a quick coffee run. I'll come around to collect your money and your order before I leave." This way they know: they're paying you first and getting the coffee or lunch later, so there's no misunderstanding or problem. I also think it is okay to set up a give-and-take system for something as basic as food. If you end up paying one time, then it's okay to ask your co-worker to pick up the tab the next time. Costs even out, and nobody feels taken advantage of. Lastly, if you don't get paid back or if somebody doesn't reciprocate in the give-and-take, just don't pay for that person any more and leave it at that.
What about gifts for someone in the office? People love to pool their money together to get birthday gifts. What should you do if your co-workers want you to chip in for a birthday gift for someone at the office that you don't like?
I think in this situation you need to do a cost-benefit analysis. The bottom line is that your money is your money, and no one can decide how you spend it except you. If you're on a tight budget and don't want to contribute to a gift, that's fine. If you feel that your co-workers might be upset if you do not donate, it might be worth it to give a small donation in order to show that you are a reliable teammate. If you support your co-workers, then they will support you and may be more reliable when it comes to important business tasks. The most important thing is to have a good feel for your work environment.
What about when co-workers help their kids sell things at the office? They have Girl Scout cookies or candy or whatever else kids sell. If you want the cookies, you're buying them, but say you don't really want to: should you?
You have a few choices in this situation. You can tell them that you have allocated your charitable contributions for the year. You can also handle it the way you would treat a request to pitch in for a gift for a co-worker. You can either buy a small amount as a show of support if you feel it will make the work environment healthier or you can explain that you are on a strict budget. Another good way to handle it would be to tell your co-worker you are happy to contribute if their child comes in and asks you face-to-face. If the child comes in, follow through with your promise. It teaches the child to take responsibility for their project, and it allows you to demonstrate that you keep your promises.
What do you do if you know your co-worker is misusing their expense account?
So at first I think you should try to talk to them and make them realize that what they're doing is wrong. I think that people are afraid of being labeled a snitch if they report the person or they think that it's not that big of a deal. This is a huge mistake! Not only are you encouraging a lack of accountability among your co-workers, but you are putting yourself at risk. If you are complicit in a co-worker misreporting expenses, then you are committing fraud. You are jeopardizing your own career in order to avoid reporting a co-worker. This is crazy. Your job is your livelihood, and you need to protect it by being an honest and ethical employee. Don't let someone else's mistakes ruin your career.

Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

Brewers' Hank the dog is paws-down in Milwaukee
The puppy has landed. Hank the Brewers dog now calls Milwaukee home.
A crowd gathered at Concourse C at Mitchell International Airport on Sunday night to welcome home Hank, the former stray adopted by the Brewers during spring training in Phoenix. Some fans, such as Loetta Czysz, who works first shift at the airport, came just to see the famous Hank. »Read Full Article(73)
Eileen Ivers takes audience on musical world tour
You walk out of an Eileen Ivers concert reminded that you're a citizen of the world — a citizen whose face is sore from grinning and whose shins ache from two hours of unabated foot tapping, but a citizen of the world nonetheless.
Ivers, the Bronx-born-and-raised fiddler who took home the All-Ireland fiddle prize nine times, appeared Saturday evening at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield with her four-piece band, Immigrant Soul. »Read Full Article
Recorder duo brings Mediterranean sounds to Early Music Now
Where go people in this world, so goes their music.

McDaris' Mozart hits right notes in World's Stage's 'Amadeus'
Plays about genius are legion, reflecting our endless fascination with these blessed conduits to worlds beyond our own. Plays about mediocrities? Not so much; such beings simply aren't as interesting.
Even in Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus" — a fictionalized redo of actual events, now being produced by The World's Stage Theatre Company under Catie O'Donnell's direction — composer Antonio Salieri isn't truly a mediocrity. But he himself often feels like one, given that he's making music in the same 1780s Vienna inhabited by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee SXSW-goers pick favorite sets
With more than 2,000 bands playing official showcases alone, there's far too much music for any one person to take in at the South By Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas. So we reached out to locals who made the trek to Texas this year and asked who their favorite artists were that they saw during SXSW.
"The Strypes, a group of teenagers, 16 and 17 years old, who borrow from garage band greats, make it a sound all their own and ooze cool. Just insanely good." - Jacent Jackson, program director, WLUM-FM (102.1) »Read Full Article
Top takeaways of SXSW 2014
Like Rocky prepping for a big bout, I thought I was ready for South by Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas, this year. This was a return trip for me, so I knew the lay of the land. I stayed closer to the action this time out (thanks again, Uncle Francois and Aunt Julie). I have a full year covering concerts and festivals late at night under my belt. And I have nine-month-old twin girls who've trained me to operate on minimal sleep (they're like my own little Burgess Merediths).
But after five exhausting days of shows and deadlines, I feel like I've been flung around violently on a mechanical pig. But at least I'm not covered in puke. »Read Full Article

Skip to comments.DOWN BY HALF: Keith Olbermann Posts Worst Ratings Yet
Posted on 09/20/2011 5:23:51 PM PDT by jimbo123
Turns out Keith Olbermann's fans may not be willing to follow him to the ends of the earth. Or in this case Current TV.
The Daily News reports that Olbermann's show has lost nearly half its viewers since its June Debut.
Current doesn't make Olbermann's ratings public (unless the show has a particularly good week as it did in the last week of August), but the NYDN got its hands on some numbers and they're not great.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
(no I did not read this post)
Just going by the headline, I am thinking how worse could it be? Is he running negative ratings?
I mean half, how do you half one viewer.
I did not read post either but...............BWAHAHA! Poor Keif! hehehe!
When he gets less viewers than my average FR post has readers, then maybe they will cancel.
They are watching with only one eye open? They are getting sleepy....very sleepy.
Does anybody know who his sponsors are?
This guy will soon be the local weatherman in an ultra small TV market in some small town somewhere in the hinterland of the US.
I'm sure your post has far more readers. I'm dead serious.
It's hilarious. The MSM pays these idiots loads and touts them as influential when many FR posters have far greater and INTERNATIONAL audiences by virtue of simply opining.
Keif appears to be a typical, metrosexual twerp.
Maybe he's going to have to find real work.
He might do ok as an insurance salesman, or maybe selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door.
Poetic justice
The hateful and one-dimensional Olbermann has nothing else to offer his hateful and one-dimensional viewers.
His new theme song should be `Nothin from Nothin` by Billy Preston.
Is Current Algore's TV network?
May he and Barry Hussein soon meet in the unemployment line!
Yes, Algore and co-owner Joel Hyatt, liberal lawyer.
He is a graduate of the Cornell Ag school. Perhaps he could remember his education, and find more useful and beneficial ways to shovel fertilizer?
Bush's fault.
Pampers, NoDoz, Gerber
I doubt he could handle either of those jobs, they both demand some ability to sound convincing.
How soon before Sunday Night Football takes him back? He's the Sarah Jessica Parker of broadcasting.
We don't want him here in the hinterland. He'll be ultra small somewhere on a liberal coast, where he belongs.
This report has to be wrong. Half of Zero is still Zero, so his ratings have not fallen at all.
My apologies to the hinterland, my fingers got way ahead of my two brain cells.
Both Olbie and MSNBC are going down the low-flow toilet. What a frickin' shame. I read Algore is paying Olbie $9 million per. Brilliant, Al.
And if his ratings dropped to zero, who would notice?

As part of its commitment to AMD's Embedded GPU roadmap, ALT Software will be delivering both OpenGL SC (Safety Critical) and OpenGL ES 2.0 support for the ATI Radeon E4690.
LG Electronics licenses ARM OpenGL ES and OpenVG conformant technology
LG Electronics will use the ARM11™ MPCore™ multicore processor to provide flexible and cost effective processing in next generation DTVs and will enable LG Electronics to target a range of platforms with the same architecture simply by implementing single or multiple SMP cores. Using the ARM Mali™-200 and Mali-400 MP graphics processors will open the path to true 1080p resolutions, affording consumers a home cinema experience that includes high-definition graphics, and vastly improving the browsing experience on DTV user interfaces. Mali GPU's deliver 2D and 3D graphics providing 4x and 16x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA) without any noticeable drop in performance. Mali provides content developers with the state-of-the-art programmable features in OpenGL ES 2.0 and supports 2D scalable vector graphics through OpenVG for improved text, navigation, UI and web-browsing experiences.
NVIDIA extends call for submissions at GPU developer summit deadline until June 30 2009
NVIDIA has extended the Call for submissions deadline to June 30th 2009. The GPU Developers Summit will be a 3-day series of technical presentations, tutorials and panels. Khronos has an overview of the event here, and the Call for Submissions page is here.
GPU Developers Summit—tutorials, presentations on OpenCL and OpenGL
The GPU Developers Summit will be a 3-day series of technical presentations, tutorials and panels aimed at developers of consumer, professional and high performance computing applications looking to exploit more of the GPU's parallel processing power using industry-standard languages such as C/C++ and Fortran as well as APIs such as Direct3D, DirectX Compute, OpenCL™ and OpenGL.
OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide updated for iPhone 3G S
The sample code from the OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide has been ported to run on the iPhone 3G S. There is also a new free e-Chapter on developing with OpenGL ES 2.0 for the iPhone 3G S. Both are available for download from the book website.
VirtualBox 3.0 Beta introduces OpenGL 2.0 to Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
SunMicroSystems just released VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 1. New in this version is support for OpenGL ES 2.0 with Windows, Linux and Solaris virtual guests. The host OS must have OpenGL 2 capable hardware and drivers installed for this to work.
ARM Mali GPUs Achieve Industry-Firsts With Khronos OpenGL ES 2.0 Conformance For 1080p and Multicore
ARMs Mali-400 MP GPU is now the first and only multicore GPU to pass the rigorous conformance tests specified by The Khronos Group. The Mali-400 GPU has achieved Khronos conformance for all of the three major graphics APIs required by ARM Partners: OpenVG, OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0. Conformance to the Khronos standards brings accredited Mali GPUs to multiple markets – from cellular handsets and personal navigation devices to digital TV, set-top box and digital picture frames.
Apples Snow Leopard promises System Wide support for COLLADA
On the Apple OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Enhancements and Refinements page, under System Wide Digital Asset Exchange support there is a easily overlooked mention of COLLADA. Users of COLLADA and the file format .dae will be please to see that Preview, OS X's lightway graphic viewer application, will display .dae files with OpenGL-powered 3D graphics. You will be able to zoom and rotate around a 3D scene and play viewpoint animations. There is a good discussion about this over at idevgames.com
Could the iPhone Trip While Leaping Forward?
The new iPhone 3G S uses an incompatible graphics library from the previous phones. The iPhone 3G uses the OpenGL ES 1.1 library while the 3G S uses the OpenGL ES 2.0, and the two are not compatible as OpenGL ES 2.0 is a superset of 1.1. This was a deliberate decision by Khronos, so that it could make some large performance improvements. One of the biggest features is the addition of pixel shaders, which gives considerable flexibility in making 3D content. Both Jonathan Hirshon and Jon Peddie weigh in on why this move probably won't be a problem. Link to story in Japanese.
Apple to release Snow Leopard with OpenCL in September 2009
Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today, they would be releasing the next generation of operating system 'Snow Leopard' this coming September. Included in this major upgrade is the new OpenCL API.

What a treat to try the distillery-bottled Macallan 18 Year after spending weeks with the Kirkland indie version.
Here we see what Macallan had in mind — a honey and caramel-infused spirit with the lightest touch of smoke, layered with light fruit notes — apple and pear and a little citrus. The sherry wood in which i was aged is clearly at play, and it's all harmonized into an easily sippable whisky — but do be careful to add a touch of water; otherwise it's buried by alcohol.
Very good and easily drinkable — but you'd expect it to be at prices like these. 86 proof.
