Direvo Industrial Biotechnology GmbH (Direvo) has announced the granting of U.S. and European Patents covering novel cellulase enzymes.
Cellulase enzymes cleave plant based cellulose into small sugars and are used in numerous applications including production of pulp & paper, biofuels and synthesis of platform chemicals from renewable sources.
The granted patents, "POLYPEPTIDES HAVING CELLOBIOHYDROLASE II ACTIVITY", describe improved cellulase enzymes having cellobiohydrolase II activity (CBH II) and methods to produce these enzymes.
The CBH II enzymes have higher specific activity and show significantly increased performance compared to available cellulase enzymes.
Direvo´s CEO Jorg Riesmeier stated, "These granted patents will further strengthen our intellectual property portfolio protecting Direvo´s cutting edge technologies, providing additional licensing opportunities and enhancing our competitive market position."
The invention arose from the unique and well-protected research and discovery platform BluServ™.
The platform allows fast and target-orientated optimization of a vast variety of enzymes and microbial strains.
The effectiveness of this platform has been proven in several projects and resulted in the market launch of superior enzyme products.

Sure, she won an Emmy before (for her very first Emmy nod in the supporting actress category in 1995), but since then it's been a long dry spell for the actress, who's been nominated seven times since then including this year. Her acceptance speech, which was a little teary but just as controlled as we'd expect from "The Good Wife" star, was heartfelt, eloquent and, to her credit, concise. Who could ask for anything more?

The Patriots advanced to Super Bowl XLVI, the team's fifth Super Bowl trip under Bill Belichick since 2001, with a game that many didn't think the team could play. The 23-20 win pushed the AFC's No. 1 seed to a matchup with the New York Giants at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
While New England certainly needed some good fortune to advance - Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds to play that would have sent the game into overtime, that play a snap after Joe Flacco appeared to hit Lee Evans for a touchdown that was knocked away at the last second - the team also put forth another in a line of resilient efforts this season.
On paper the Patriots look like an offense first, finesse football team that's had to outscore each opponent on the way to the Super Bowl thanks to a defense that ranked 31st in the NFL during the regular season.
But Sunday's AFC title win in Foxborough showed a Patriots team that played a tough, physical-style game that in many ways was played on the Ravens terms, yet New England came away with the tight victory.
The Patriots defense has taken its lumps over the course of the year, but it's confidence is at a high point heading into the biggest game of the year.
|Patriots LB Spikes holds his interception of Joe Flacco vs Ravens 1/22/12 (Elsa/Getty Images)
Quarterback Tom Brady, owner of three Super Bowl rings, knows a little something about championship caliber teams and he's feeling pretty good about the makeup the Patriots have shown on the road to the biggest game on the sporting landscape.
"We won 10 straight games and they haven't all been pretty," Brady said. "We've started slow, we've started fast. The offense has played really well at times; the defense has played really well at times. It's a pretty mentally tough team. There's really some resiliency, we've shown that all season. Even in the games we've lost, the three games we lost, we fought until the end.
"We're always going to fight to the end. It's great to be a part of a team like this. It's tough to get here, man. It's hard to win these games. It's hard to win games in the NFL because every team is very talented. We did enough here the last 10 weeks to win these games. I'm sure this next game is going to come down to the end and hopefully we have enough plays."
LINEUP WATCH: It's hard to say that wide receiver Julian Edelman playing slot corner is an experiment considering it's been going on for nearly two months. Edelman saw significant reps at the spot lined up opposite Anquan Boldin in the AFC title game. While Boldin led the Ravens with six catches for 101 yards, New England's patchwork secondary did enough to come away victorious. And the college quarterback-turned NFL wide receiver-turned defensive back Edelman was a part of the collective effort.
BY THE NUMBERS: 5 - The number of Super Bowls Tom Brady has led the Patriots to in his 12-year career, joining John Elway as the only other quarterback in NFL history to lead a team to five Super Bowls.

Martinsburg had the right formula in 2013 -a star player, a strong supporting cast and one of the state's winningest coaches.
It all added up to another Class AAA state title for the Bulldogs, the program's third overall and second in four years. Martinsburg, a veteran team with six seniors, knocked off Huntington in the first round, Washington in the semifinals and then Woodrow Wilson in the championship game.
All three games were close, including the title game, in which the Bulldogs held off the Flying Eagles' furious comeback attempt for a five-point victory.
Article Photos
No. 6: State player of the year Donte' Grantham and Martinsburg rose to the top of Class AAA basketball.
There was plenty of talent to go around for Martinsburg, which finished the season with an impressive 26-2 mark. A big part of the equation was state player of the year Donte' Grantham, who was dominant all season long, including a 20-point, 17-rebound effort in the state championship game.
Grantham finished his senior season averaging 18.3 points and 9.1 rebounds a game. He's currently playing for Hargrave Military Academy but recently committed to Clemson University after receiving interest from a number of Division I schools.
The talent didn't stop there for the Bulldogs, as they had a few more strong players to lead them. Among those players was Jalen Lewis, a third-team all-state selection who averaged 15 points and five assists per game and who, together with Grantham, created one of the top duos in the state.
They, along with the rest of the team, not only brought home another state title, but helped the Bulldogs make history. The basketball title made Martinsburg the only school to win the football and boys basketball state championships in the same school year.

Behind the Scenes: Saoirse Ronan
It's difficult enough to play one role, let alone two. But in "The Host," Saoirse Ronan plays spirited Melanie and also the alien that has inhabited her body, called the Wanderer.
"Her journey in the movie is really interesting. These aliens are not necessarily the bad guys," Ronan said. "Yes, they have invaded the planet and taken over human bodies, but in a way they are perfecting our world. And yet the human mind and the human spirit are so strong that even they have difficulty overcoming that."
"The walk for each character became important to me. Wanda's (the Wanderer) very delicate. She almost floats, whereas Melanie is tough and feisty. I tried to bring that out in the way they hold themselves and even small things like hand gestures."
"I loved working with William. He is such a gifted actor. He was always asking questions, because he truly wants to understand. William would ask a question about something I thought I had all figured out and the scene suddenly became better."

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

There's evidence that humans were eating animals in the Yukon some 15, 000 to 30, 000 years ago, depending on your carbon-dating method of choice. However, it's widely agreed that these people were descended from those who crossed over today's Siberia while the land bridge was in place. There's little recorded history otherwise, although it's known that a volcanic eruption in AD 800 covered much of the southern Yukon in ash. Similarities to the Athapaskan people of the southwest US have suggested that these groups may have left the Yukon after the volcano ruined hunting and fishing.
In the 1840s Robert Campbell, a Hudson's Bay Company explorer, was the first European to travel the district. Fur traders, prospectors, whalers and missionaries all followed. In 1870 the region became part of the Northwest Territories (NWT). But it was in 1896 when the Yukon literally hit the map after gold was found in a tributary of the Klondike River near what was to become Dawson City. The ensuing gold rush attracted upwards of 40, 000 hopefuls from around the world. Towns sprouted overnight to support the numerous wealth-seekers, who were quite unprepared for the ensuing depravities.
In 1898 the Yukon became a separate territory, with Dawson City as its capital. Building the Alaska Hwy (Hwy 1) in 1942 opened up the territory to development. In 1953 Whitehorse became the capital, because it had the railway and the highway. Mining continues to be the main industry, followed by tourism.

My first hours with PCLINUXOSSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 4th of July 2008 02:18:08 AM Filed under
web4beta.com: As a mentioned in my previous post I spent a little time last night installing PCLINUXOS on my laptop. I installed the MiniMe version of the distro, the Live CD of which weighs in at just over 200MB. It's meant to be just enough to get get everything up and running so you can then, through ATP or Synaptic, install just the software you want.

What Happened to PCLinuxOS 2008 and Red Hat Consumer Linux DesktopSubmitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 21st of June 2008 08:37:30 PM Filed under
pclinuxos2007.blogspot: We know Linux has enough potential to be a consumer desktop and we also know that Linux has less than 2% of desktop market share. Let's admit the truth. Linux enthusiasts may site a thousand reasons on why Linux does not sit on consumer desktops, or conversely why people are not ready to Linux even after Linux is absolutely ready.
PCLinuxOS GNOME ReviewSubmitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 18th of June 2008 10:17:01 AM Filed under
osweekly.com: Everyone is familiar with PCLinuxOS by now. And most of us have preconceived thoughts and opinions on this Linux distribution. And yet, I could not get my head around the attraction of this distro over Ubuntu, Simply Mepis, Linux Mint, Freespire or any other beginner-friendly Linux release.

Review: TinyMe 2008Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of June 2008 02:09:07 PM Filed under
raiden.net: About a year ago we reviewed TinyMe when it was still in its beta and test stage. But a lot has happened in the past year, and all of it good. But what makes it so good? Well, in addition to fixing all the bugs and little quirks, TinyMe has become more stable and loads faster than it was in the early days.

Two days ago, he informed me that he couldn't Skype anymore. The audio was gone. I went over, with the PCLOS French Remaster under my arm.

How to use video in business
The development of technology has greatly influenced the development of marketing tools, not only for large but also for small businesses and crafts. First of all, it's referring to the internet or the website and multimedia. Today it is almost impossible to imagine that there is a company or craft that do not have your own website, at least with basic information about the company and products or services they offer. However, research shows that a short video on a website can greatly help attract clients. Large companies that are potential was immediately recognized and used it to attract customers. Small businesses, due to the cost of production, they often gave up the idea of video on its website.
How to Use Video in business
It is not necessary to have a professionally produced video which resembles a sort of big-budget commercials are centered on national television. For the presentation of small business enough good ideas and camera you have on your mobile phone or laptop. The aim is to create a video in which you present yourself, your company or product or service you offer. Video must, above all, be adapted to the target group of customers you want to reach. Video does not have to be boring listing of information that you have already specified on the website. Instead of a video in which you try to sell your product or service, a video guide that will teach viewers how to use your device or how to do something with the help of your product. Think about shooting video for a special occasion – cards for the holidays, notice fairs or conferences, where you will be announcements of special actions that will maintain or announcements of new products that will only be found in the market. Note that the video may not be very long.
Carefully select the main actors
Video can be recorded excellent, superbly written script, but if the person who appears in the video looks like a frightened deer in front of headlights, this video would be interesting to watch. The same applies if the person uttering the text has a monotonous voice. When you open the profile, it is necessary to publish video in this service. Throughout the process will lead you simple instructions and depending on the size of the video and your Internet connection.
Play around in the editing
After you take whatever you want to eventually find in your video, it's time to finally create videos. Just mount can be done on the computer, but also on your smartphone or tablet. Cut off what you're not satisfied, consider adding soft music in the background, add whatever you think we should particularly like.
Spread the word
In the end, people need to draw attention to all your hard work and passion that you have passed and invite them to visit your website and see the video. So, turn to social networks and invite your friends and fans to watch videos and share their reactions. Pay attention to your comments – be they positive or negative. Play with your imagination and share the videos!Read More

Reds reassigned infielder Adam Rosales and RHP Jon Adkins to minor league camp; optioned C Craig Tatum and RHP Daryl Thompson to Double-A Chattanooga.
According to the ORG Roenicke was assigned to minor league camp too. I wouldn't be suprised to see him up though at some point this year. In fact, I'd be kind of be suprised if Roenicke didn't at least get a cup of coffee in 2008.
I think Thompson will be up here either late this year, or very early next year. He has the wits to be a good pitcher.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
Castro is the worst possible thing that can happen to the team. And I wouldn't be surprised if we have 3 catchers once Ross gets back.
Also Bruce is in AAA, and Votto may start there too.
majewski is worse
I think Castro makes the team due to his salary and reds will not eat his 2008 and 2009 salary. I think he is also good club house leader according to Marty and other people in the reds organization.
I already don't like Dusty.
The present with this team is the future. I've seen enough of the retread veteran players. Get on with the future NOW.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Google has become a ubiquitous
part of daily life – at least in my house. Of course, people who work with computers use Google to search out new drivers, howtos, and product information. But Google is present in other spheres also. Particularly interesting (or alarming, depending on your viewpoint) is the importance of Google to the academic endeavors of middle school students. When I was in school, I used to have to go to the library to write a report. Now you just sit at your desk and google up some facts. Everyone knows the Internet lets you do everything from your house, so children who work online spend less time meeting each other and playing hopscotch. Although this is a very important point, it is not really my point now. My point is more about the methods and motives.

Bully For The Cubs
However, on Baseball
However, on Baseball Prospectus' adjusted standings page, the Cubs should have a record of 18 and 10 or so, besting the record the Brewers should have of 18 and 13. Their third-order wins statistic is also adjusted for strength of schedule and the quality of their opponent's pitching and hitting.
Since we're talking about fake wins early in the season, we might as well consider several sources. : )
Wow... all these links are
Wow... all these links are just a step above "power rankings" ***shudder***
Bully... blah... Business should not be personal. You go out there to win. Win dammit.
I think the Pirates are a
I think the Pirates are a cut above the Nationals. 2 out of 3 will suit me fine (but yeah, a sweep would be better).
Thanks, Stevens, for the BP
Thanks, Stevens, for the BP note. I should have checked there, too.
If we can't win an actual championship, I would settle for a Third Order title. Maybe we could play in the Third Order World Series.
Am I the only one who loads
Am I the only one who loads that page and sees the Cubs at 16th on the list instead of 21st?
That is still 14 behind the Brewers.
And the Brewers have also
And the Brewers have also had the fun of beating up on a lot of Pittsburgh, St Louis, and Houston....oh, and a little Florida.
I checked late last night.
I checked late last night. They might have updated since then.
I just don't understand the
I just don't understand the scheduling. Pittsburgh plays a day game in Milwaukee and the Cubs are at home. We both have off days. Then we play three against each other and both play travel for games on Friday. Why not just come down the 90 miles and play Mon - Tues - Wed then both teams can travel on Thursday?
Our strength of schedule
Our strength of schedule though is just behind the Brewers, both in the bottom third of the league. Brewers got a bit lucky early on, we didn't. Hope it evens out a bit as the year goes on.
Dodgers look like a juggernaut though. Toughest schedule in the league so far and winning.
Nice to see the Cubs
Nice to see the Cubs actually beat the teams they are supposed to beat. If they can keep it up against the Bucs, then there is at least hope they'll step up when its "nut cuttin' time" against the Phils, Mets, and Sox.
Of course, hope is the Cub Fan's cruel mistress...
Great article Cubnut: I
Great article Cubnut: I was at all three games and it did feel like we were the kid that everyone had beat up lately, who had finally found someone weaker to steal lunch money from.
I read somewhere that they
I read somewhere that they changed the contract to some new company for scheduling this year. They switched from some mom-n-pop shop that did a really good job in the past. No reasoning behind the switch, but lots of head-scratchers in the schedule this year. Absolutely crazy.
The Cubs have now beaten two
The Cubs have now beaten two of the game's most pitiable teams five times in a row.
Tell me, what team is more pitiable than the Cubs? We finished last in the NL last year.
For the record, LAST YEAR ON MAY 7th the Cubs were 6 games behind first place Cincinnati (21-11) with a record of 14-16 after losing six in a row.
This year we're 15-14 and 5 back of first place Milwaukee (21-10).

Here's why I hate this
Here's why I hate this schedule.
Counting today's off day, we've been scheduled to play 30 games and have had 5 off days. Average of 6 games between off-days.
Not counting the Astros make-up, we have 132 games left in the year. We have 11 off-days left (4 of those are at the same time). That's an off-day every 12 games. That number is significantly less for those people who lose the off-days for the All-Star Game.
We don't need all these off-days in April and May. Guys are still fresh at the beginning of the year. We need them later in the year when we play 46 in 48 days from 7/24 until 9/9. We're off only 8/13 and 8/27 in that span of games.
How in the heck is it that the schedule plays out with 2 off days in a month and a half span IN AUGUST when we've played only a month and four days this season IN APRIL and have already had 5 off-days?

At any rate, it appears that
At any rate, it appears that the Cubs have another option for SP... They don't appear to need one right now, due to Angel's start yesterday, but it is always good to have backup...
I say it again: if and when
I say it again: if and when Marshall is needed, I really think it would be unwise to use him in a rotation that alredy features two other lefties with very similar stuff. If you can somehow find a way to not pitch him against the teams that face the other guys, okay, but how will that work?

Perhaps somebody can
Perhaps somebody can enlighten me as to what to WHAT THE HELL TONY LARUSSA IS DOING.
Scene: St. Louis, MO. Top 9. Game tied a 2. Rockies batting with 1 out with SS Tulowitzki at second and LF Holliday on first. Lefty Tyler Johnson pitching to right-handed hitting 3B Garrett Atkins. Gets to a 2-1 count on him, and LaRussa decides to walk him to load the bases. (Note: Al Hrabosky, "Johnson has been known for being a little eratic from time to time.") First base was not open. Third base was open.
So he loads 'em up to get to left-hander Brad Hawpe. Johnson then walks Hawpe on 6 pitches without the big fella ever taking the bat off his shoulder.
I was absolutely stunned that he did that. I know you don't really want to face the righty there, but it was 2-1 and Atkins had taken an absolutely hideous swing at a Johnson slider. I don't know what he's doing. At all. Just plain stupid.
i only heard the game on the
i only heard the game on the radio, but didn't Johnson just strike out Helton? And I think Hawpe is historically pretty bad vs lefties.
From what the radio guys said, Tulowitzki was robbed of a homer by the umpires, so obviously the baseball gods needed to correct the situation.
"Dave Duncan could probably
"Dave Duncan could probably turn him into a .750 wpct%, sub 3.00 ERA pitcher"
Maybe he should have done that with Marquis, Reyes, Wainright, and Wells. A pitching coach is only as good as his talent or their willingness to learn. Hence the cantonazation of Leo Mazzone stopped two years ago.

You're right, but I was referring to Duncan's general knack for making good pitchers out of marginal talent. Marquis is the big exception to the rule, I guess. Who the f* knows why he didn't do better under Duncan. Also, Reyes's numbers this year are attrocious... and why not, he's marginal pitcher, at best. But looking at his starts, 3 ER, 3 ER, 3 ER, 4 ER, 4 ER, 3 ER... he takes the ball does his job and keeps the Card's offense in the game. Don't think I'm defending the guy, I think he's fruity and annoying, but he does his job.
If only some of these
If only some of these bullied victims could take out their revenge on the Brew Crew...
If the Cardinals never won
If the Cardinals never won another game in the history of their franchise, it would be too soon for me. Ditto the Mets.
Anyone else here starting to
Anyone else here starting to think that it is gonna take a lot more than 83 games to win the Central this year? The Brewers seem like this year's Tigers. Are they a legitimate threat to win 100? I hope not because, let's face it, we are not going to win 100 and probably not even 90. If we have a chance at the playoffs this year, it would seem that we have to win our division. But I just kind of wonder if we are seeing the beginning of a strong run of five or so years from the boys up north. Who'd have thunk it? We were all set, weren't we, for a balanced division in which winning 90 surely would be enough. But I don't think that is the case any longer.
It's still plenty early,
It's still plenty early, ARM.
If the Brewers, Mets and Braves - ALL - go at their current pace for the rest of the year, the Cubs are probably too far back already.
But Someone is going to fall off a bit. So all we can do is keep playing hard, winning home series and beating up the dregs of baseball. No way this team is buried, even if the Brewers did somehow win 100.

How many wins did Cincinnati get last year??
Re "CubswinthePennant" it is
Re "CubswinthePennant" it is interesting to compare records with last year, except the Cubs were at the start of a stretch of abysmal play and with having to start stiffs like Glendon Rusch and Jerome Williams and young pitchers not ready for prime time (Gallagher, Hill on his first call up, Marmol, and Guzman), it was about to get worst with Maddux slumping. Meanwhile, we had Juan Pierre and his 300 slugging percentage in center, Nefi and his 250 OBP at second, and Todd Walker bringing his okay 2d base production over to 1st base where it was dreadfully inadequate. This team is a lot better (not great, but better). As for the Pirates, I think they may finish with a better record then the Cardinals and Houston, as both teams appear devastated by age, injuries, and some strange management decisions (In Houston's case, that you can have a consistent offense with three line-ups spots taken up by Ausmus, Everett and the Ghost of Craig Biggio, and in the Cardinals case that you can replace three starters out of hide with a weak farm system and that you can have an outfield of "flotsam" and "jetsam" sandwiching the "Ghost of Jim Edmonds" and defend your World Championship. The Cardinals remind me a lot of the 1983 Orioles, who won a World Series with a young superstar surrounded by a group of aging stars and role players having a "Last Hurrah" and who collapsed the next year.
pennant . . . yeah, I hear
pennant . . . yeah, I hear you about the lesson of the Reds from last year. But don't you think that the Brewers this year, on paper, have a much better group of players than the Reds did last year?
Well the Cardinals are a bit
Well the Cardinals are a bit worse than the Orioles. They didn't even attempt to bring back their free agents. Weaver, well, you can see that was a good call, but the first place team is currently trotting the Cards' number two starter out to the mound every 5 days.
The Cardinals quite obviously intend to ride on their laurels with their fans for a year or two. It would piss me off, if I liked the Cards, but then again, at least their management actually wins a WS every 20 years or so, and goes to the WS more frequently.
Yeah, it must be a bit tough
Yeah, it must be a bit tough for Cardinal fans to see that Suppan and Marquis are among the best pitchers in the league so far this year and, worse yet, they are playing for division rivals.
I agree with Altman, I hope
I agree with Altman, I hope the Birds lose all the rest of their games this year. I have absolutely no sympathy for a team that has finished last only once since 1918. Actually, I'd love to see them finish last two years in a row, just to test the theory that they have the "greatest" fans baseball.

I think it will be a reach
I think it will be a reach for the Brewers to make it to the 100 win mark, but they certainly have the potential to make it over the 90 wins. Unlike the Reds of last year, the Brewers are a well balanced team, with a lot of good young players who are coming into their own. The question will be will the Brewers defense hold up, will their pitching (sheets) avoid injury, and will their young players respond to the pressure of a pennant race.
*I hope the Birds lose all

It's hard to finish last in the same division as the Cubs.

That happens when you build a club the right way. I agree the lack of experience will end up biting them, but they have a lot of good pieces to the puzzle. And it appears at this point at least, they will be the only club challenging the Cub's for the pennant this year.
Yeah, it looks like the
Yeah, it looks like the Brewers will be good for a few years, until their top players become free agents, and then their ride will be over.
People have been saying the
People have been saying the Brewers have all the right pieces in place for a few years now. I don't doubt they'll be good, but a lot of things will have to go their way for them to finish with 90+ wins.
Ummm the Brewers are one of
Ummm the Brewers are one of the most profitable franchises in baseball. They will pay to keep their young talent together. They just were unwilling to dump a crap load of money on Carlos Lee.
It took them awhile to get to where they are now, but don't mistake that for them being cheap or not caring.
The Brewers rotation,
The Brewers rotation, offense and bullpen is more than enough to get them to 90+ wins. They are a good team (baring any major injuries), just get used to that fact.
I have noticed over the years some of you guys just don't give division rivals as much respect as you should. I don't know how many times i heard Houston was on its last legs and they suck only for them to finish ahead of us each time. Or how the Cardinals can't keep winning with the talent they have, but sure enough they keep doing it and finishing ahead of us.
I guess if you keep saying the sky is falling the sky is falling your bound to be correct someday, case in point the Cardinals currently. It only took what? 4 years and a World Championship for some of you to finally be correct? I think it is time for the golf for your guys prediction abilities.
Uh, I have plenty of respect
Uh, I have plenty of respect for the Brewers. They've done a helluva job building up from nothing, and I won't be surprised at all if they rattle off a long string of .500+ competitive seasons.
That doesn't change the fact that right now they have three starters performing way over their heads (Capuano, Suppan, Vargas), a bullpen that will come back to earth, and an offense they can't sustain. They've also had an easy schedule and relatively good health.
Do you honestly think they're going to get career seasons from half their roster? That's what would have to happen for them to keep this pace up.
The Brewers are for
The Brewers are for real...right now. Living along the IL/WI border I get both Chicago and Milwaukee local stations, and FOX Milwaukee is already doing Brewer stories prior to the weather....and it's only May.
I doubt the Brewers will be able to hold up over the year as the pressure begins to rise. They play in a half empty dome night in and night out...what happens if the standings remain the same through August...and with a full dome they drop 3 of 4 at home and the fans realize that they aren't quite there yet?
The story of this division is....Milwaukee has promise, the Cubs have played well below their potential, the Cards aren't that deep as they have been in years past, Pittsburgh is on it's way up, the Reds are mediocre at best, and Houston is still in shock knowing that "Rodger is in George's box!"
"I guess if you keep saying
"I guess if you keep saying the sky is falling the sky is falling your bound to be correct someday, case in point the Cardinals currently. It only took what? 4 years and a World Championship for some of you to finally be correct? I think it is time for the golf for your guys prediction abilities."
Well then, I for one will be very careful to only listen and heed what you say. You are the mostest observant and correct poster here. Gee wilickers!
Excuse me, it's time for the golf for me.
The Cards and Astros have
The Cards and Astros have been amazing healthy in their starting rotation the last four years. This year, without Suppan, Morris, Clemens and Pettite, healthy was about all they could hope for, and the Cardinals didn't get it. If Oswalt goes on the DL, the Astros will be right down there with them.
If the Brewers stay healthy, they will probably be a 90 win team. That's still a big IF.
If the Cubs stay healthy, they're probably a 94ish win team. Also a big IF.
At this point, the only other team I would say has a chance to hang with those two is the Pirates. They are going to need LaRoche to take more/less Redlin, or whatever his problem is, though.
Well Vorare, I agree to a
Well Vorare, I agree to a point on the Brewers.
Supppan is pitching above his norm, but is still good for 12-16 wins....Capuano won 18 games in 2005, showing that he is capable of doing so, and Vargas is over his head, but did win 12 games for a mediocre Arizona tream last season.
The bullpen is pretty solid...Cordero has pitched in stretches like this before, and Turnbow has too, although he could blo at any moment.
The 2005 White Sox got some career years didn't they? Buerhle, Conteras, Dustin Hermanson?
Even Garland's 18-10 was marked by an ERA of 3.50, which is almost a full run under his career average.
I dunno....the Cubs need to get hot, and hope that the Brewers falter.
The Real Neal: "If the Cubs
The Real Neal:
"If the Cubs stay healthy, they're probably a 94ish win team. Also a big IF."
Is that a typo and you meant 84ish or did you really mean 94ish?
They just had one of these
They just had one of these stat guys on the radio who applied the "Baseball Pythagorean Theory" or something to the Cubs at this point in the season. It has them on pace for a 99 win season at the moment. He did admit that obviously they aren't going to stay this hot all year but it all points to good things for the Cubs. I'm not sure what the formula was but it seemed like it was Runs Scored divided by Runs allowed or something, said the Cubs were #1 in the NL at the moment.
Well Stevens, and Real Neal
Well Stevens, and Real Neal that was the major problem people were betting against a team like the Astro's who put Clemens, Pettitte and Oswalt in the same rotation. I think we all remember the laughing that was going on at TCR about Roger signing with the Astro's and how much they would suck? Its archived check it out.
It was just silly crap like that based on nothing more than a deep dislike of a team like the Astro's, without looking at the talent they have on the roster.
The same crap is happening with the Brewers now that they are getting better. I don't know why Cubs fans can't respect the talent of the teams in their own division. It is the same fault in which you guys get over attached to fringe players who had 1 good season in the midst of 10 failed ones.
(Warning: you guys doesn't mean Stevens and Real Neal exclusively, just the general mood from posters in general from what i have read from other Cubs sites)
its all pretty arbitrary
its all pretty arbitrary anyway.

I don't have time to check the archive, but after the Astros added Beltran, I remember wondering if they would lose at all the rest of the way. That particular Houston team started ice cold but got so hot from July on that it nearly felt like they would win out at one point. I doubt many posters felt Clemens was "done," either - just whether he would be inspired. Clearly he was.
But there's no team in the NL Central that has nearly the talent that the 2004 Astros had. And if there's one that's even close, it's the Cubs.

The Cubs signed this guy in February and put him on the AA Smokies' roster. 24, 6'3" , RF who the Diamondbacks signed out of high school and thought would be starting in their outfield by now.
Alas, after rushing through their minor league system and getting a brief call-up in 2004 things sorta fell apart.

When a righty pitches, I don't understand why the outfield isn't Soriano, Pie and Jones. And if Jones wants to play center, then put Pie in right.
Yeah, Rob G... did the same
Yeah, Rob G... did the same double take... I thought the Cubs didn't have a lefty BP pitcher, and have been looking for one for more than a year...
I love the 'overacheiving'
I love the 'overacheiving' game. you could say the same about hill, marquis, lilly, or dempster. both teams have guys over or underacheiving right now. some of them will obviously revert, some will surprise.
brewers obviously aren't going to continue at a .680 clip or whatever they're at. but they have the early wins in the bank. they're a pretty well-built team. only major hole on offense is at 3B and they have braun in the minors, who could help them on that front. rotation that's 4 deep and vargas is fine as a 5 even when he falls off. and they've got gallardo waiting when the inevitable sheets injury comes along.
that said, they've been doing most of their damage against crappy teams -- the houstons and pittsburgs of the world. and they've had more than their fair share of home games and sucked on the road last year. it'll be interesting to see how they react if they struggle when they hit the road against better teams.
it's early, but it's really looking like a 2-team race. honestly, the reds would be my pick to be the third most dangerous team in the division. that's pathetic.
"it was Runs Scored divided
"it was Runs Scored divided by Runs allowed or something, said the Cubs were #1 in the NL at the moment."
No. What John DeWhan stated on Murph's segment on WSCR radio around noon today was that the Cubs were #1 in the NL in run differential currently. That is, the number of runs scored, compared with the number of runs given up. It is a very positive sign. And, certainly most of us would agree this is an opposit trend from the majority of the Dusty regime.
Also, Ryan Theriot is second on the Cubs in runs scored on the team.
For you stat-heads, Mr. DeWan is on Mike Murphy's show Tuesdays at 12:00P. He's a Sox fan, but a Bill James protege and became very wealthy after selling Stats Inc.
Josh Kroeger, huh? I had
Josh Kroeger, huh? I had NEVER heard of him. His numbers do look good this year... Not sure I can see how he would fit into the OF situation if he continues at this pace... He has Chris Walker, Angel Pagan, and Buck Coats above him at AAA...

Man imagine what our record
Man imagine what our record in one run games would be if we had a bad manager!
Pitching Eyre for more than one inning was hugely stupid to everyone who observed the game. Let's take our crappiest reliever, double switch him into the lineup in the 6th so that we can burn out the entire bench by the 10th inning, and have the privalege of watching him attempt to go two innings after he barely escaped the first without giving up runs. Then let's take our 2nd best reliever and let him face one or two batters, in an inning where we blow the lead and go through 4 pitchers. After we have done all that, let's pat ourselves on the back because our last position player, the worst hitting position player of all time (at least according to his fan site) manages to get a hit in the 10th. Oh yeah, we burned up our best hitting pitcher to pinch run in the meantime as well, so good thing it didn't go 11.
After all of that, when the Cubs win, praise the manager as a genius. Good call.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone else, besides crunch, actually watch the game or read the boxscore?
blanco getting the hit with
blanco getting the hit with the bad back, too.
ya know..sorry if some dont like it...but how about praising guys like blanco/floyd for being injured yet both producing.

E-Man: "No. What John DeWhan
"No. What John DeWhan stated on Murph's segment on WSCR radio around noon today was that the Cubs were #1 in the NL in run differential currently."
Well, Rob G. just shows that the Cubs are not #1. And this guy is suppose to be a stat guy??? Oh Brother....
#114 Neal, not only did I
Neal, not only did I watch the game, I came here and pretty much said everything you did, just less succinctly. I agree with you 100% there. Thanks for putting into a language that may be understood around here. I seem to speak Greek.
Real Neal, I personally like
Real Neal, I personally like the strategy. A poster over at Desipio said it best about Piniella using every bullet on his roster in order to try and win a game instead of keeping players in reserve for anticipation of a long game like Dusty always did.
The difference in strategy is striking, and it may not be your cup of tea but its the way Piniella will run his team.
He is going to be aggresive, try and play the numbers, use his entire roster (not just his pets), go with the better player no matter of age or service time, and hold people accountable for screwing up their job.
The attitude of Dusty's blause style is slowly creeping away. Mound visits alone are more entertaining than they have ever been. The pitcher doesn't know if Lou is coming to yank them out of a game or bitch them out. Dusty's fat ass only came out to make a pitching changes, in between his long bouts of sleeping on the bench.
We got better players for sure, but the guy leading this team isn't an ass hat, clueless, moron either. The team is finally in competent hands with a "Real" major league manager. Get used to it, i know its hard after the Dusty era.

Working in a Canvas, we're going to have to use a bunch of different selection and manipulation tools. So in this movie I just want to show you some of the basics of how to select some objects and transform and apply different manipulations to them using your tools in your toolbar. So if it's not already open, run the 05_tools project. Go ahead and select the Green text, and you notice I have this bounding box that pops-up, and in here I can grab anyone of these anchor points. For example on the corners I can click-and-drag and that will resize my image and you notice I get a Contextual Menu that pops-up that shows me exactly what the dimensions are.
If I hold down Shift as I do that it will keep things in proper proportion. I am just going to undo that. Over here I have my rotation handle. If I click-and-drag it allow me to rotate that object. Now the reason I bring that up, it's rotating around this thing right here called the Center Point. Well, what if I wanted that center point to change to a different area? Well, I could change in the justification of this text and that would change the center point, but I could also use a tool for that. So if you click and hold down your Select tool, the second option down is the Move Center Point tool.
And now I can actually move this center point anywhere and when I go ahead and grab my Selection tool again, you notice now it will rotate around that specific center point. Now there are some other tools, I just want to quickly go over. If you click-and-hold this next option here is called the Shear tool, and you notice when I chose that it's now changed my handles to these diagonal looking boxes and if you click-and-drag, this will allow you to adjust the Shear and you'll notice, it's bending around where that anchor point is.
Now you can also change this, just by right-clicking on any of the handles and adjusting it, you are back to transform and that will go ahead and transform that. Now when I right-clicked it accidentally selected a different layer. So I am going to open up my Layers tab and select my green text here and you notice now that I have my Selection tool, it's automatically changed back to my normal bounding box, so I can go ahead and rotate that, let me Undo that. If you select something graphic like these bars here, there are a couple of more tools I'd like to show you.
If I had a Drop Shadow on this I could actually freehand manipulate where the Drop Shadow is. But what we are going to cover right now is this Free Transform option. What this does is allow me to free transform exactly where I would like each one of these individual points so I could create some drastic distorted effect for that specific object. So the next set of tools down here, pretty straight forward with the Hand tool and the Magnifying Glass. This option right here will allow you to adjust your items in 3D space, which is a little bit advanced for what I want to get into right now.
So we will cover that in one of the Layer chapters. But I did want to make an extra point of just going over some of these basic tools when you are actually trying to select and manipulate your objects in your Canvas.

A ducal palace set in rolling parkland, Chatsworth is magnificent both inside and out, and houses a major private collection.
A 17th-century creation with a 19th-century wing built by the 6th Duke, Chatsworth is the ancestral seat of the Cavendish family, the Dukes of Devonshire. It is an outstanding English stately home, with a sumptuous range of state rooms featuring ceilings by Laguerre and Verrio; extensive gallery spaces for the collection; a chapel adorned with sculpture by Verrio; three libraries, housing one of the finest English book collections in private hands; and a Wyatville dining room hung with works by Van Dyck, Mytens and Gainsborough.
Permanent collections
The art collection has been shaped by 14 generations of the Cavendish family and is remarkable for its Old Masters, jewellery and metalwork, photographs, sculpture and textiles. The 12th Duke and his family continue to add to the collection, including contemporary works.
