I just realized in an interesting thing re: our lack of HR power. When you rank team HRs, you don't find a 1st place team till #13. In the top 10, you find the Reds, Marlins, White Sox and Rangers with the Devil Rays and As at 11 and 12.
But the majority of the top teams in SLG and OBP are in 1st or 2nd place (or they have a great ERA like the Cubs, ranked 6th in team ERA). I really think we need to get beyond HRs when rooting for the Cubs.

Well, I'd say DeRosa and Hudson are pretty similar. Hudson has a 111 OPS and DeRosa has a 102 OPS+ while DeRosa has a .863 ZR and Hudson has a .826 ZR.
I'd probably give the slight advantage to Hudson because he's been better recently, but it's nothing to write home about.

So much for CRAIG MONROE
So much for CRAIG MONROE being an LHP hitting specialist. Of course Lou took no time putting that to rest. His first AB as a Cub, in a crucial situation no less, was pinch hitting against a right hand pitcher. And he promptly singled.
In 2006, Monroe hit 28 HR's during the regular season. 26 were off RHPs.
And yet we're told he's here to platoon against lefties....
good grief!
I'm glad you asked that
I'm glad you asked that question. I see no real difference in the above stats.
Which mean you don't see a real difference in RBI's? Hudson is a gold glove 2nd basemen, DeRosa is a average 2nd basemen. Hudson has a 9% edge in OPS and can steal bases. The only thing DeRosa has done better this year, according to the stats you listed is not grounding into double plays.
If you use 'total' player evaluation stats like Win Shares (21 to 13) or WARP1 (7.0 to 3.6) there's a big difference between the two players. I'm not saying these stats are perfect, but when they agree (exactly on Hudson and within .3 of a 'win' on DeRosa) you can be pretty sure that Hudson has been significantly better than DeRosa this year. No bash on DeRosa, but Hudson is a fringe MVP candidate.
i think i like iowaCub.

i passed out on my couch in the first inning (i'm working starting at 3 AM every day, and my sleep schedule is all F-ed, but i thought i'd stay up for the game tonight. damn. missed a fun one.
huge night.
i'm going to chicago for labor day weekend, going to the brewers game on thursday and the astros game on sunday. first time at wrigley this year, looking forward to it big time.
i'd bet that i'll see sheets and soriano on thursday.
I'm 100% behind Monroe but
I'm 100% behind Monroe but that was fielders choice at best. Only Pie's world class speed made it an infield hit. Hell, I think they still could have ruled it a FC.
Hudson is a gold glove 2nd
Hudson is a gold glove 2nd basemen, DeRosa is a average 2nd basemen.
This is where you lose it. DeRosa is clearly a very good second baseman and has been better then Hudson in ZR or UZR. Again, I'd give the edge to Hudson overall, but gold gloves are completely meaningless and this year at least DeRosa has been the the better fielder.
Re: Pie vs. Murton Barring
Re: Pie vs. Murton
Barring further waiver trades for position players, I predict Pie makes the playoff roster vs. Murton. Monroe fills essentially the same role Murton would and Pie brings a LH bat, better OF defense in late innings, and more value as a PR than Murton. The only thing Murton brings over Pie currently is his bat which Monroe basically makes redundant.
"Which mean you don't see
"Which mean you don't see a real difference in RBI's? Hudson is a gold glove 2nd basemen, DeRosa is a average 2nd basemen. Hudson has a 9% edge in OPS and can steal bases."
Hudson is a Gold Glove second baseman? That means very little around here. 9% edge ins OPS big deal. OPS is the most overrated stat in Sabreword. You cannot add averages. That does not exist in statistica analysis.
Win shares is bullshit. VORP is bullshit. These are not real and are as arbitrary as any other stat.
Outside MVP candidate? My GOD! Your bar is low.
The O-diggity has exactly
The O-diggity has exactly 0.0% chance of being an MVP candidate, let alone a winner. I'll use your own numbers against you. O-dog is 35th in the National League in OPS.
Fielder, Pujols, Howard, Braun, Chipper, Holliday, Bonds, Cabrera, Hanley, and D-Wright are all light years ahead of the O-dog for MVP.
Even the guys in the second tier like Rammy, Dunn, Hawpe, Caballo, DaMeatHook, and Griffey have a better shot at MVP than the diggity.
It's nice to wake up and
It's nice to wake up and know you're going to be in first place all day no matter what.
Chad, Why don't you just
Why don't you just cut to the chase and say 'blah blah blah, nanny nanny poo poo'? The truth is that you looked at RBI's and determined the players were equal just like you always do. Do you have any proof to substantiate anything else? Of the stats you listed Hudson has outperformed DeRosa in 17 of them. DeRosa over Hudson in 3 stats, two of which he has no real control over. Don't like OPS+ how about slugging (Hudson) and OBP (Hudson). If you want to argue with me at least be able to count.
This is where you lose it. DeRosa is clearly a very good second baseman and has been better then Hudson in ZR or UZR.
Johann there are 8 things wrong with UZR last time I checked.
Look at BP's defensive stats, or watch baseball games then get back to me.
The O-diggity has exactly 0.0% chance of being an MVP candidate, let alone a winner.
Freddy Sanchez, Mike Cameron, Bronzon Arroyo, Nomar, Eckstein, Cliff Floyd, Scott Eyre, Chad Cordero and Juan Pierre are some guys who got MVP votes over the last three years. If the D-Backs win the division, I guarantee Hudson will get MVP votes and most likely beat some of those guys you listed.
Real Neal, all your list
Real Neal, all your list proves is that getting MVP votes and being an MVP candidate are very different things.
djchi, What would you call
What would you call people who recieve votes other than 'fringe candidates' ?

So much for CRAIG MONROE being an LHP hitting specialist. Of course Lou took no time putting that to rest. His first AB as a Cub, in a crucial situation no less, was pinch hitting against a right hand pitcher. And he promptly singled.
From today's Daily Herald:
"Cubs manager Lou Piniella said he plans to use Monroe primarily against lefties."
Key word = PRIMARILY
Did you honestly think Monroe would never get an AB against a right-hander? I certainly hope not.
And considering he singled, why the hell bring it up anyway, unless you just want to bitch for the sake of bitching.
Monroe becomes the 2007 Cubs
Monroe becomes the 2007 Cubs 6th player with World Series experience according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Can you name the other 5?
Lee, Eyre(SF?), (not
Lee, Eyre(SF?), (not Marquis), Cotts though I wouldn't count him either, Soriano and I am sure it's obvious but drawing a blank on the last one, not Floyd he was with the Mets well after their WS loss, right? Blanco way back with the Braves? That doesn't sound right either.
Trick question, because the
Trick question, because the Sun Times is wrong.
Article on the burying of
Article on the burying of Murton at Sun Times he says this:
'But at the same time, if you look at even some of the greatest players that play in our game today, they're going to go through stretches of even 180 at-bats that I have at this point and not hit like they expect to hit.'
Amazing that Murton has a better grasp of this than Piniella does.
1. Re #19 and 35, the
1. Re #19 and 35, the report that Pie and Murton are in a one-week battle royale for the last slot on a playoff roster:
I agree with GAltman, if Monroe does what he was brought here to do and provide a bat off the bench and occasional OF sub, then Pie is the easy choice for the playoff roster over Murton. Pie's speed and defense make him precisely the type of player to use in a late-inning double-switch. You could even see a situation if the Cubs are trailing by a run in the 9th inning that Monroe be brought out to pinch-hit, and if he gets a hit, Pie is the pinch runner. There is not much purpose to having both Murton and Monroe on the playoff roster if both Floyd and Ward are healthy.
2. Jason Kendall: .306/.404/.418 in 111 plate appearances for the Cubs. I'm just saying.
3. #43 (jacos). I didn't look at the article, but here is my guess for the other five Cubs with World Series experience:
Jason Marquis (2004, though last year doesn't count I think he was not on the WS roster. I still think he is our cold-weather ace in the hole for October)
Derek Lee (Marlins in the Year That Must Not Be Named)
Soriano (Yankees, again in the Year That Must Not Be Named)
Ted Lilly (for Yankees, maybe twice)
And I can't think of the fifth guy. Tempting to guess Ward when we was with the Astros but I don't think so. And I presume they're not talking about Piniella, because then we'd have to add Alan Trammel too. From, of course, the other Year That Must Not Be Named.
Real Neal- It is right. I
Real Neal-
It is right.
I checked.
DC Tom- 3 out of 4
Are we counting the College
Are we counting the College World Series? If so than we add Theriot and Godenot!
I know Lilly was on the Yankees teams in the early 2000's that made the WS but he might not have been on the playoff roster. DeRosa was in the playoffs several times with the Braves but of course not the Series.
Your wrong on Lilly.
Your wrong on Lilly.
I forgot about the ass
I forgot about the ass kicking that Cards got in '04. They were done so fast hard to remember the series. Marquis was around for that. Floyd was with the Marlins when they won their first championship I guess. I still wouldn't count Cotts, though.
Cotts not one of the 6.
Cotts not one of the 6.
OK, I cheated and looked it
OK, I cheated and looked it up. Yes, Lilly was not on the playoff roster for the 2000 and 2001 Yankees, although he was on the team those year. (He was in the rotation in 2001 but was behind Mussina, Clemens, Pettitte and El Duque.)
The two I am missing I never would have guessed or remembered. And the Sun Times article is indeed right. In spirit of trivia (particularly when it's Saturday morning and the game is a night game in Mountain Time), I won't spoil it and leave it to rest of the board to figure out.
By the way they are all
By the way they are all mentioned from post 44 and on.
Sorry if I spoiled it.
Sorry if I spoiled it.
Interesting factoid on Jason
Interesting factoid on Jason Marquis that I found while looking up answer to jacos's trivia:
Jason Marquis was in the 1991 Little League World Series. I can't find out if he pitched or not. He is one of only a handful of players to play in both LLWS and MLB WS (list includes Sheffield, Varitek and Dwight Gooden).
In the 2004 World Series against the Red Sox, Marquis lost the clinching Game 4. Gave up a lead off home run to Johnny Damon, five walks, four strikeouts, three ER in 6 innings.
DC Tom, regarding Kendall, I
DC Tom, regarding Kendall, I nearly creamed in my pants the way he reached down and connected on that 9th inning hit and run.
Owings is the first pitcher
Owings is the first pitcher to homer in back-to-back games since the Cubs' Carlos Zambrano, who did it on Sept. 17 and 23 last year. It's no surprise that Owings can hit. As a junior at Tulane in 2005, he was named to an NCAA Regional all-tourney team -- as a designated hitter.
hey, leave me and my Maori
"Monroe said he thinks his
"Monroe said he thinks his problems at the plate this year -- including 94 strikeouts in 343 at-bats -- were caused by putting pressure on himself to have an even bigger year than last year."
From G. Wittenmeyer, Sun Times
Ummm, so there is no pressure playing at Wrigley in a pennant race?
The Cubs' Magic Number is
The Cubs' Magic Number is 34. FWIW. :-)
O-Dog's probably the best
O-Dog's probably the best defensive second basemen in the league right now and has been for awhile. It's really not close if you're comparing Derorsa and Hudson's overall game at second base.
when hudson plays some
when hudson plays some SS/3rd it might matter.
the difference between hudson and derosa at 2nd...might as well be argueing if ozzie smith is better than omar vizquel. they're both top line guys you'd wanna plug in if defense is what you're wanting.
10-15 homers, 30-ish doubles...both guys deliver...hudson's got more speed, but he dont use it any more than derosa.
hell, i'll take either...right now i'll take the guy with 2 years left on his contract, though. hudson made 4m this year going into his 5th year of service. dbacks have him for another year, but at what cost?
and yeah, if i had to give the defensive edge, hudson, but derosa gives you flexibility in other defensive positions no matter hudson's mastery of 2nd.
and damn...that homer last
and damn...that homer last night by owings...that one wasnt cheap, got out in a hurry, and was a huge liner with a touch of lift. someone should file murder charges on him for that hit.
Well, hard to say, but
Well, hard to say, but Monroe may feel less pressure in Cub world than he did as a member of the Tigers. He was expected to produce big time over there. I would guess that he is aware that we don't have the same expectations of him over here. Over there, he was a starter when the year began, wasn't he? He won't be a regular starter here. So I do think it is possible that, for what it is worth, there is less pressure on HIM over here.
So much for CRAIG MONROE
So much for CRAIG MONROE being an LHP hitting specialist. Of course Lou took no time putting that to rest. His first AB as a Cub, in a crucial situation no less, was pinch hitting against a right hand pitcher. And he promptly singled.
Yeah don't let facts get in the way of you cwtp....
Monroe came in on a double switch in the bottom of the 8th to replace Cliff Floyd who made the last out in the top of the inning. He came up 5th in the top of the ninth.

Eric Young on ESPN always disses the Cubs when it comes to predictions. Not sure what happened while he was here. Maybe someone parked in his spot one day? Who knows. But there is one guy regularly on ESPN Baseball Tonight who has been predicting the Cubs make the playoffs for several weeks. I cannot recall who it is.
"The truth is that you
"The truth is that you looked at RBI's and determined the players were equal just like you always do. Do you have any proof to substantiate anything else?"
No I looked at home runs too and saw that Derosa is right there with him even though he's played less games.
Look I can see that Hudson's stats are slightly better than derosa's, but just slightly. I would hardly call Hudson's stats decisively better.
And DAMMIT TRANS! You know I would have come through with that punchline!!!!! Just gimme a few mins.

Well Hudson really is a gold
Well Hudson really is a gold glove 2nd baseman. He isnt some fancy offensive player who gets the award cuz he hits better than other people. Though he isnt a slouch with the bat.
Hudson was brought in specifically to stabilize the INF defense for Brandon Webb...and pretty much Brandon Webb alone. So his value to the D'backs is pretty high.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has made a number of statements backing Pope Francis' views on the dangers of global wealth and income inequality, ahead of his scheduled visit to the Vatican this week.
"The pope is right in saying all of us must address the grotesque income and wealth inequality we are seeing throughout the world," Sanders' campaign Facebook page wrote on Sunday.
"Pope Francis is right. It is a tragedy that so many men, women and children in this world are suffering. They are suffering because of social, environmental and economic injustice, and I look forward to addressing these issues when I visit Vatican City next week," another statement from Sanders read. more >>
An ongoing debate between evangelical groups on whether eliminating pollution and providing clean electricity over fossil fuels can be considered a "pro-life issue" has reached North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's doorstep.
Groups such as the Evangelical Environmental Network and Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, along with 15,000 pro-life Christians in North Carolina, have petitioned to McCrory and other elected officials, urging them to aim for achieving 100 percent clean electricity in the state by 2030 as part of its Pro-Life Clean Energy Campaign.
However, E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D., founder and national spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, told CP in a separate interview, that the Pro-Life Clean Energy plan is a "deceptive campaign" that has been been criticized by a number of pro-life leaders. more >>
One of the greatest surprises of the 2016 presidential campaign season thus far has been the strong electoral showing of Donald Trump.
The frontrunner of the Republican primaries, Trump is considered a serious contender not only for the GOP nomination but, some believe, also the general election.
While many have struggled to explain his popularity, some have posited that it stems from a brand of populism. more >>
Motivational speaker and author Tony Robbins has purchased a building for $750,000 in San Francisco that will house a soup kitchen for the homeless that will be run by nuns.
The building, located in the Mission District of the city, was purchased by Robbins this month for the Fraternite Notre Dame Mary of Nazareth order of nuns, who were threatened with eviction from their previous location, as reported by The Christian Post earlier this year.
Initially, Robbins had helped the nuns stay at their previous location by reaching negotiations with their landlord and paying $25,000 to avoid eviction. more >>
An evangelical author and former feminist recently stated that Christians who support socialism and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders are "lazy."
Chelsen Vicari, author and Evangelical Program Director with the Institute on Religion & Democracy, told the Daily Caller in a recent interview that these "lazy Christians" expect government to take care of problems that Christians and the Church should address.
"Young Christians are confusing individual Christian compassion and the Church's role and responsibility in public life with the government providing entitlements and expanding welfare programs," said Vicari. more >>

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer gave her pen a workout about a year ago after her fellow Republicans who dominate that states legislature refused her request to pass a Medicaid expansion bill, bringing with it billions of dollars in federal investment. She issued an ultimatum telling the legislature to stop sending her bills until they passed Medicaid expansion.
They didnt listen on May 23; she vetoed every bill that was sent to her that day, including at least a couple she supported.
Now Arizonas working poor have access to health care insurance while our fellow South Carolinians hang out at emergency rooms.
Its time for Gov Nikki Haley to start thinking of the tens off thousand South Carolinians who have no coverage including many veterans. Failing to expand Medicaid will have a disastrous effect on the states health care industry and overall economy.
Hundreds of lives will continue to be lost because too few poor South Carolinians have no reasonable access to health care coverage. Republican leaders refuse to budge.
They think that passing Medicaid expansion, as 26 other states have, is giving in to Obamacare. Governor line-item veto every corporate handout and special-interest freebie but everything else goes. Prove that youve got as much courage as Brewer.
The GOP has a veto-proof majority. Yes, big donors and far-right voters have encouraged the trend toward dangerous, extremist legislation since her election in 2012; she has spent much of her time in the governors mansion, following a bunker mentality. The governor has been accused by Democrats, most notably S.C. Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Camden, of a being disengaged from discussions with lawmakers. In running her office, she has succeeded in making it next to impossible for lawmakers, reporters or citizens to access necessary public information. Governors need to take a page from Brewers book and do what is right.

"What is that flash of light, eminating from the sky?" wondered Nathan MacKinnon, almost aloud. "I wonder if I'm the only one who sees it?
And lo, a hockey player clad entirely in red began to descend from the rafters. Momentarily, Nathan wondered if it was Martin Brodeur coming from above, but surely, he wouldn't come to an arena that Patrick Roy was such a regular figure. Besides, why would a Devil be descending from the heavens?
Looking closer, Nathan recognized that the figure slowly descending from the rafters was a skater, and not a goaltender at all. Was this celestial figure arriving to send him a message? Nathan had to know. The world around him fell silent, and he focused only on hockey player in red, floating to through the sky above the ice at the Pepsi Center.
With some trepidation, but more confidence than such an unusual situation would suggest, Nathan made slow b
ut purposeful strides towards center ice, where the figure in red hovered. As he drew closer, his curiosity grew into shock, and eventually recognition.
"Mr. McDonald? Lanny McDonald, is that you?" Nathan inquired, eager to meet a player he had never seen play, but as a Canadian admired all the same. "Have you come here to give me tips on being a more aggressive player? A better teammate? A better leader? I'm so eager to learn from you, I'm so eager to take your lessons with me to the Worlds and bring greater glory to Canadian hockey."
McDonald wordlessly turned his glazed eyes towards MacKinnon, and it was only then that Nathan saw that his hero was in distress. "Son, I have no idea how I got up to the roof, or why I am tangled in all these wires, or why I am wearing my old hockey gear, but I am so f**ing baked right now."

Record Shows 21 Million Work Hours Without a Fatality or Serious Injury
DALLAS -- The U. S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Capital Development Program for its contribution to worker safety and health in the community.
"This organization has consistently shown a high level of commitment to safety and health of construction workers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, particularly to the Spanish-speaking community," said John Miles, OSHA regional administrator in Dallas. "We encourage other companies to follow their example."
The Dallas/Fort Worth Development Program oversees construction and other development of the airport facilities including a 2-million square foot international terminal with a hotel and a high-speed train. The program was awarded the OSHA Regional Administrator's Outstanding Safety Contribution Award which recognizes organizations that contribute to safety and health through training, activities, and resources.
Key safety accomplishments of the program have included operating the airport's Terminal D, Skylink and other construction projects for 21 million work-hours without a fatality or serious accident; consistently maintaining an accident incident rate below the national average; requiring construction safety training in both English and Spanish through the Construction Education Foundation of North Texas; and establishing an alliance with the OSHA Fort Worth area office to promote professional development of contractor safety personnel through the Occupational Health and Safety Technologist Certification Workshop.
Alliances enable organizations to cooperate with OSHA in preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace. They are a means for participating organizations to network with others committed to workplace safety and health and exchange information about addressing workplace hazards.

Michael Vernillo is a Pittsburgher. He grew up in Burgettstown to Italian immigrant parents who spoke very little English, and 70 years ago this week, he did everything he could to save the world from Nazi Germany.
On D-Day the young sergeant was crammed into an LST boat headed for the French coastline, scared as hell.
"Who isn't afraid? You know? I didn't think I'd come out alive, because the men were dead. They had to move them with bulldozers so we could land," said Vernillo.
And nothing went as planned. "We couldn't land because the water was too high. They couldn't open those doors. So, the LST swerved a little bit and we went down on ropes," said Vernillo.
Many of the troops, including Vernillo, couldn't swim, either. According to history, not one of the America, British or Canadian troops in the first wave to storm the beach survived. Vernillo was part of the second wave.
"And some of them, I know, drowned and some, there was a little wee boat there to take us to shore," he said.
Fast forward 70 years and the French government is saying thank you to Vernillo and seven others who will be named as chevalier in the French order of the Legion of Honor.
The French medal will be added to the four bronze stars and countless ribbons that are pinned to the tunic Vernillo wore home from Europe.
"I fought every battle in France. I lost all my officers, they were all killed. My captain and two officers were all killed," he said.

BrochureDownload our brochure, and thank you for your interest in ORV.
Orthopaedic Research of Virginia (ORV) is an organization which performs various functions to advance musculoskeletal care, teaching, and research. We sponsor a one year A.C.G.M.E. accredited fellowship in arthroscopy and sports medicine for residency-trained orthopaedic surgeons. ORV sponsors periodic educational programs for practicing orthopaedic surgeons and coordinates team coverage for local high school and collegiate athletic programs.
The ORV Fellowship program consists of one year of clinical training in diagnostic and operative arthroscopy under the supervision of board-certified orthopaedic surgeons in a private practice setting. Fellows are exposed to arthroscopic and open surgical procedures for the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist. Fellows participate in the surgical reconstruction of ligamentous instabilities of the knee and shoulder. They examine patients postoperatively, and, under the direction of the attending physician, plan a complete rehabilitative program. The surgical and clinical experience is under the direction of John F. Meyers MD, William R. Beach MD, Shannon M. Wolfe MD, Paul E. Caldwell III MD., and Julious Smith, III M.D.

FAMILY LINE-UPS. Trans-generational Encounters in Family Photography
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
This is a Call for Contributions for an EXHIBITION to be organized in May 2013 by a group of academics in the American Studies Program at the University of Bucharest. An exhibition catalogue will also be published.
The title of this project is FAMILY LINE-UPS. Trans-generational Encounters in Family Photography. The exhibition is part of a wider research project currently examining the role of family photography in the process of the inter-generational transmission of memory, with a focus on the manner in which exile acted on the structure of the family and the coherence of its genealogy.
Your contributions to this exhibition should address one or several of the questions below:
- How do we relate ourselves to a family history that we have inherited through family photographs and storytelling, but which we were for the most part unable to witness?
- How does family photography work to relate us to an unlived family history in the case of various generations of immigrant families having lived through multiple layers of geographic dislocation and relocation to another cultural space (particularly the situation of transatlantic movement from (Eastern) Europe to the United States, as problematized, for example, by Nancy K. Miller)?
- What role does "genealogy" (usually read as "blood ties" but also as "resemblance") play in the way we project ourselves visually and verbally?
- In what way does photography, especially family photography, enable a dialogue with the dead or absent (cf. Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida)?
- How do we negotiate the scarce narrative force of photography against the social imperative that we possess a coherent story about our past, our ancestors etc.?
- How do we reconcile the fact that the conventions of family photography predicate that the family is a coherent, happy unit, but sometimes family narratives contradict this narrative?
YOUR SUBMISSION should be sent no later than July 15 to firstname.lastname@example.com and it should consist of the following:
1. three scanned photographs from your own family album (please make sure you set your scanner to 600dpi, so we can be sure we can see them properly), as follows:
o one photograph of yourself
o (at least) one more of a family member who is absent or otherwise visually unavailable to yourself, but to whom you are connected through "family resemblance"
o one of another family member or of a family member who is (also) absent or otherwise visually unavailable to yourself. (please see sample below)
2. A scanned HANDWRITTEN (but legible) NOTE in English (no more than 400 words) on how you relate yourself to the absent family member, and what role the other person in the line-up plays in this dialogue you are having with the absent person
Nota Bene:
The juxtaposition of the photographs and the text you are submitting should address the QUESTIONS WE ASK about memory, family history, and photography. In other words, we have to reject random juxtapositions of family photographs.
You can find a sample contribution here: http://www.americanstudies.ro/?article=216

Online gambling will be available to the public in New Jersey just after midnight, earlier than the anticipated state time of 9 a.m. Tuesday, New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement director David Rebuck said Monday.
The gaming regulator issued orders allowing six of Atlantic City's casinos with Internet gaming permits to start marketing their gambling websites, lifting the limit of 500 players at a time that has been in effect since Thursday.
"We found no significant widespread regulatory problems or any technical barriers to going live," Rebuck said on a conference call with reporters.

|New mechanisms that regulate the expression of genes implicated in the process of ketogenesis

Metabolic adaptation
Warburg effect
DNA damage

|Fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis play an important role in metabolic adaptation of the liver. Ketogenesis is a crucial process, especially in fasting. It is the last step of lipid metabolism and provides energy in the form of ketone bodies for the extra hepatic tissues, saving glucose for vital tissues, as the brain. In this project there were studied mechanisms by which genes involved in ketogenesis are regulated. In the first part, the hypothesis was to test whether the FoxO family members, FoxO3a and FoxO1, were responsible for HMGCS2 induction by p53 activation. HMGCS2 is a key regulator of the ketone body production, and it was published by the laboratory where this project was developed that it is a FoxO3a/FoxO1 target. P53 was described to stimulate FAO in conditions of food restriction, and that this could be a part of its effect as a suppressor gene, related to the Warburg effect. During the development of this project, it was seen that FoxO3a and FoxO1 were not related to HMGCS2 induction, when there is p53 activation, induced by DNA damage with doxorubicin treatment. In the second part, Fsp27, from the CIDE family, was studied. Fsp27 is a lipid droplet associated protein. Its expression is regulated by HMGCS2 activity and this gene is expressed during early fasting. Fsp27 is able to down-regulate FAO when it's overexpressed. The objective was to seek a regulatory role of Fsp27 in mouse liver. During the development of this project, it was confirmed that this protein had a nuclear localization and that its expression would affect PPAR signaling pathway. In AML12 cells, Fsp27 inhibited the activation of the HMGCS2 promoter by PPARα. The hypothesis was that Fsp27 would be sequestering PPARα's endogenous ligands, since this inhibition would disappear when the cells were treated with the pharmacological agonist WY14643.

Hi everyone,
If you have lost 40+ pounds...
How long did it take to lose that 40?
What was your basic diet and exercise strategy?
What do you feel was the secret to your success?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi everyone,
If you have lost 40+ pounds...
How long did it take to lose that 40?
What was your basic diet and exercise strategy?
What do you feel was the secret to your success?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I have lost around 50lbs from winter until now. For me, I had some visible results immediatly, but the first 10lbs took quite a long time to come off, but after I started losing I would say I've lost somewhere around 1-2lbs per week.
Did it by eating primal blueprint with few starchy vegetables and intermittent fasting.
The main point is just sticking with the program, even if you feel it should be going faster
My exercise strategy was doing starting strenght + working towards doing a pull-up (using bands to assist), although I injured myself in early May (traffic accident), so I have not exercized nearly as much as I would have liked, but have lost weight nonetheless.
Thank you everyone! That is so helpful! I lost 3 pounds right away and now I am determined to not keep jumping on the scale because I think I'll just get frustrated.
I need to find my way with exercise as well. I like walking & swimming..it's just the TIME commitment that is a bit tough right now. Thanks again!

You can see from my sig below that I was pretty significantly over weight. The 1st 40 lbs took a little over 4 months. I gradually went from SAD to mostly primal in that time, while counting calories (but not starving) the whole time. Weight is coming off slower now, but still steadily.
How fast you lose 40lbs will depend on a lot of different factors.
50yo, 5'3"
CW-125, part calorie counting, part transition to primal
GW- Goals are no longer weight-related
I lost my first 40 on hCG, an subsequently have gone on to lose 86 more lbs. I was at a drastic place in my life, weighing 325 lbs. I am currently at 198.
I lost those first 40 in just under 40 days, but again, I was morbidly obese, so it worked better for me than it would work for others (no diet is "one size fits all").
I lost about 30lbs. 25 of them came off in about 6 months, starting at month 2. Nothing wanted to come off for the first month. The last 5 came off during the last 7 months very slowly. I would like to lose more but it won't come off and stay off.
I got the first 25 off going on a low carb plan. I consumed plenty of dairy in the form of sour cream or cheese and butter. Otherwise, no grains, no more than 1/4 of a sweet potato in a day, plenty of fatty meat, plenty of seafood, some wine and chocolate most days. I would put butter on top of cheese for a snack. Basically the Swedish LCHF plan as described on dietdoctor.com/lchf.
I have always been an avid hiker. Before I started the diet I had been running 3-4 miles at lunch each day. I quit doing that and took slow walks instead. I would stop on my walks to look at the sea birds and watch them play. I kept up hiking on the weekend at least one day a week. Some time in January I started taking a body weight exercise class twice a week. I do not credit it for any of the weight loss. It did help my posture and give me more strength and gave me something different to do. In the spring I started sprinting. All that did was hurt me so I quit after a few months of always hurting myself.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I lost about 30 lbs in 3 - 3.5 months.
What was your basic diet and exercise strategy?
Diet: Eating high fat, moderate protein, low carb. Only eating when physically hungry and ignoring psychological hunger. Being strict with these rules.
Exercise: walking 45 minutes (speed of about 5km/hr) at a minimum of 8 times per week.
What do you feel was the secret to your success?
Not worrying about the weight-loss aspect and concentrating on eating well, according to the PB principles and getting my walking in.
I don't know how long it took me to lose the first 40, but I did hit a plateau in there somewhere and got through it with IF. I did a lot of walking and messed with my macros until I figured out what worked for me. I am still losing now without even trying.
I wish I liked to eat liver.
About 2-3 months... I already had a fairly sturdy frame from growing up on the farm, but I had to stop eating grains and sugar for the muscles to start chewing through the visceral fat. The fact that I literally pissed out 17 lbs. of water weight in the first 5 days made that 40 lbs. come off a little faster than most people.
Peak weight on Standard American Diet: 316.8 lbs
Initial Weight When Starting Primal: 275 lbs
Current weight: 210.8 lbs
Goal weight: 220 lbs (or less): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
The way "ChooseMyPlate.gov" should have looked:
My first 30 was very much faster than the last 10, but even that took several months. I lost size far faster than weight because I was doing Crossfit and lifting, so I gained quite a bit of muscle mass at the same time as I was losing fat. I started out low carb and then kept cutting down to vlc levels but saw better results after adding more carbs back into my diet in the 100-150g range. I found that planned IF didn't suit me but unplanned works well (i.e. only eating when I am hungry and good food is available). Sleep is critical, as is adequate protein for me.
I am now where I want to be for weight and like my body size although some recomposition would be cool if it happens. I'm more focused on my health and fitness goals than my scale numbers now.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde

FoF is strongly associated with low balance confidence, and balance confidence mediates the relationship between FoF and balance and physical function. The purpose of this thesis was two-fold: (1) to examine the prevalence, severity and determinants of FoF in older adults (aged≥65) with DM, and (2) to evaluate the validity of the short version of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC-6) and its association with balance and postural control in older adults with DM. Three separate studies were conducted of older adults with DM (DM-group) and without DM (noDM-group). Study I revealed that although FoF prevalence adjusted for age and sex was not different between-groups, the DM-group had 8.8% fewer participants in the low and 8.4% more in the high Falls-Efficacy Scale International categories when compared to the noDM-group. Higher FoF severity in the DM-group was associated with poor physical performance, being female, fall history and clinical depressive symptoms. Study II provided evidence of convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity of the ABC-6 for use in older adults with DM with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Notably, the ABC-6 was more sensitive in detecting subtle differences in balance confidence between the DM-group and noDM-group when compared to the original ABC scale (ABC-16), and can be administered in less time. Study III explored balance confidence (ABC-6) and its association with balance and postural control in older adults with DM. Subtle differences in axial segmental control (i.e., lower trunk roll velocity and higher head-trunk correlations) while walking and lower balance confidence were apparent in the DM-group, even in the absence of DPN, when compared to the noDM-group. Balance confidence partially explained the variance in head-trunk stiffening between-groups, and consequently low balance confidence in older adults with DM may contribute to the dependence on postural control strategies that are normally only utilized in high-risk situations. Findings from this thesis will help to guide the development of protocols for screening and intervention recommendations of patient education and targeted rehabilitation programs for older adults with DM.

As cancer centres move forward with earlier discharge of stable breast cancer survivors to primary care follow-up it is important that comprehensive evidence-based breast cancer survivorship care is implemented to effectively address these needs. Research suggests primary care providers are willing to provide breast cancer survivorship care but many lack the knowledge and confidence to provide evidence-based care. Purpose The overall purpose of this thesis was to determine the challenges, strengths and opportunities related to implementing comprehensive evidence-based breast cancer survivorship guidelines by primary care physicians and nurse practitioners in southeastern Ontario. Methods This mixed-methods research was conducted in three phases: (1) synthesis and appraisal of clinical practice guidelines relevant to provision of breast cancer survivorship care within the primary care practice setting; (2) a brief quantitative survey of primary care providers to determine actual practices related to provision of evidence-based breast cancer survivorship care; and (3) individual interviews with primary care providers about the challenges, strengths and opportunities related to provision of comprehensive evidence-based breast cancer survivorship care. Results and Conclusions In the first phase, a comprehensive clinical practice framework was created to guide provision of breast cancer survivorship care and consisted of a one-page checklist outlining breast cancer survivorship issues relevant to primary care, a three-page summary of key recommendations, and a one-page list of guideline sources. The second phase identified several knowledge and practice gaps, and it was determined that guideline implementation rates were higher for recommendations related to prevention and surveillance aspects of survivorship care and lowest related to screening for and management of long-term effects. The third phase identified three major challenges to providing breast cancer survivorship care: inconsistent educational preparation, provider anxieties, and primary care burden; and three major strengths or opportunities to facilitate implementation of survivorship care guidelines: tools and technology, empowering survivors, and optimizing nursing roles. A better understanding of these challenges, strengths and opportunities will inform development of targeted knowledge translation interventions to provide support and education to primary care providers. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Rehabilitation Science) -- Queen's University, 2016-07-15 16:26:59.114 2016-07-15T04:00:00Z Occupation, Homelessness, and the Transition to Becoming Housed Among Chronically Homeless Persons http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14211 Title: Occupation, Homelessness, and the Transition to Becoming Housed Among Chronically Homeless Persons Authors: Marshall, CARRIE Abstract: Background: Existing homelessness research focuses on psychological and social aspects of this experience. There is limited literature focusing on the daily occupations of those who are chronically homeless, and particularly during the transition to becoming housed. Purpose: This research was carried out in 3 Phases. Phase I aimed to synthesize the current literature contributing to an understanding of occupational transition during the process of becoming housed among homeless persons. Phase II aimed to develop an understanding of the experience of occupational engagement of chronically homeless persons in a medium-sized city in Ontario, Canada. Phase III aimed to develop an enhanced understanding of the experience of occupational engagement of chronically homeless persons as they made the transition to becoming housed. Method: Phase I used a scoping review methodology (Arksey & O'Malley, 2005) to explore existing literature contributing to an understanding of occupational transition during an exit from homelessness. Interpretive phenomenology guided Phases II and III, which involved gathering data through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants who were chronically homeless (Phase II), and 11 participants with a history of chronic homelessness who had recently become housed (Phase III). Data collected in Phases II & III were analyzed using a modified version of the method suggested by Colaizzi (1978). Results: Phase I uncovered the relative paucity of literature focusing on the occupations of homeless persons as they exit homelessness. Phase II identified the unique occupational experiences of chronically homeless persons in a medium-sized city. Chronically homeless persons experienced occupational alienation caused by a lack of participation in mainstream society, and a deep and pervasive boredom that adversely influenced their mental health and drove substance misuse. Phase III identified that as participants transitioned to becoming housed, slow changes in their occupational repertoire positively influenced their mental health and well-being. Implications: Taking a broad view of the occupations of chronically homeless persons reveals several unique aspects of their experiences that can inform interventions designed to support this population as they exit homelessness. Incorporating an occupational approach in concert with a housing first philosophy may lead to a more comprehensive strategy to addressing chronic homelessness. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Rehabilitation Science) -- Queen's University, 2016-04-12 16:49:30.162 2016-04-13T04:00:00Z Supporting Canadian Veterans with Disabilities http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14197 Title: Supporting Canadian Veterans with Disabilities Authors: Aiken, Alice; Buitenhuis, Amy Abstract: Abstract The provision of benefits and services to veterans to ensure they receive the health care and compensation they need to lead a good quality of life after military service has always been a challenge for governments around the world. In Canada, over 4,000 Canadian Forces members are released each year, and many leave with physical inju - ries as well as operational stress injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder. There has been a push in the past two decades to modernize veterans' programs to ensure that veterans receive adequate physical rehabilitation, mental health care, and vocational retraining to reinte - grate smoothly into Canadian society. In 2006, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) made broad, sweeping changes to the way veterans receive services and benefits by introduc - ing the New Veterans Charter (NVC). The Pension Act, which was the 50-year-old policy that previously determined veterans' services and benefits, mostly provided veterans with life-long pensions based on disability. The NVC provides a range of financial programs and services for veterans released after April 2006. Within the past five years, a number of reports have examined the effectiveness of the NVC, highlighting gaps and providing recommen - dations. As of the time of publication of this report, few changes have been made. Therefore, this report does not aim to provide recommen - dations specific to the improvement of the NVC. Instead, it compares the financial benefits offered under the NVC to those offered under the Pension Act. This comparison specifically looks at how financial benefits offered under the two policies differ for veterans with the most severe disabilities. Financial benefits are important for veterans with severe disabilities because they are more likely to have difficulty finding work, and they face higher health-care costs than veterans with less severe or no disabilities. The report is organized as follows. Chapter 1 provides background information on the NVC, the Pension Act, and the history of veterans' benefits in Canada. It also summarizes reports written thus far on the success of the NVC and defines the term "veteran with severe disabili - ties." Chapter 2 describes the method of comparison of the financial benefits from the two policies used for the study, and Chapter 3 sum - marizes the results of the comparison. Chapter 4 discusses the results and also highlights some of the limitations of the study and areas of future work. Finally, Chapter 5 provides some recommendations for consideration regarding the NVC. 2016-04-07T04:00:00Z

The Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale Raiders dominated the upper weights and claimed five victories by forfeit Thursday in a 47-29 dual victory over Wadena-Deer Creek. The Raiders won four of the last five matches as Nick Bennett, Dillon Card, John French and Hunter Truax racked up 23 points to WDC's three. The Wolverines claimed four of the first six matches with Tristin Godel, Sam Waln, Devin Barthel and Josh Lawson notching victories that gave WDC a 20-12 advantage.

Wadena-Deer Creek Head Boys' Hockey Coach Chris Holman can tell you exactly what it feels like to be checked from behind. "You don't even know where you are for a second," Holman said. You might be carried off the ice on a back board like WDC junior Christian Berg was in a Jan. 3 game at Fergus Falls. You might also end up in a spinal cord trauma ward like Jack Jablonski. The Benilde-St. Margaret junior varsity skater had his spinal column dislocated when he was checked from behind by a Wayzata player in a Dec. 30 game.
Steve Techam was elected chairman of the Wadena-Deer Creek School Board following a reorganizational meeting on Jan. 9 at the WDC District Office. Techam is a retired teacher who lives near Deer Creek. Techam replaces Ann Pate, who will now serve as vice chair.

Now that the 2012 NFL regular season is over and the Minnesota Vikings have nowhere to play, the time seems right to take a look back at the blunders they made and pass some judgments. Everyone knows that hindsight is 20-20. Right off the bat it is pretty obvious that just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong. If you would have told someone the Vikes would be 3-13 in 2011 after the 2009 season they would have laughed at you. Who could guess that when Brett Favre threw that stupid pass back across the field in the NFC championship game that the Vikes had walked under a ladder.
Ryan Redfield showed his partiality for the WDC court again Tuesday night as he hit seven treys and scored 26 points in a 80-62 win over neighboring Verndale. Redfield has now scored 20 or more points in three straight home court games. Evan VanErp followed up two strong performances in the Otter Holidy Classic by scoring 25 points for WDC. Ben Birch did his job in the post with 17 points and 15 rebounds. Aaron Denny gave the Pirates 16 tallies while Dallas Ermantraut scored 14 points and Marcos Gomez netted 11. The Wolverines had a big 48-30 edge on the boards.

The death of Spinnaker the Pacific white-sided dolphin at the Vancouver Aquarium yesterday remains a mystery, says staff veterinarian Dr. Martin Haulena.
"At this point we don't have a real cause as to what happened," Dr. Haulena said Friday, citing stomach inflammation, pancreatic cancer and bone marrow problems as potential causes.
Spinnaker had been receiving treatment for a prolonged illness and showed signs of improvement in recent weeks, rejoining the aquarium's two other dolphins earlier this week after six weeks in a medical pool.
"When we left him on Wednesday he was very energetic. He was frolicking with the girls – a little too much sometimes – and had a full appetite, very much back to his normal schedule," Dr. Haulena said.
Security staff found Spinnaker floating at the bottom of his tank around 4:30 a.m. Thursday morning. He was thought to be at least 26-years-old.
Dr. Haulena also said several external wounds not seen the night before may have helped cause his death.
Further ancillary tests and an examination of microscopic tissue samples may help shed light on Spinnaker's condition following a necropsy conducted Thursday at the province's animal health centre in Abbotsford. Preliminary results could arrive Tuesday, with further lab results taking up to several weeks to come in.
"Surprise is the key word here," Dr. Haulena said. "So that makes it that much more devastating… On a personal level, Spin was one of my favourites. He was an athlete. He flew."
Aquarium employee Oona Prediger said Spinnaker's death was felt throughout the building.
"It affects everyone here," she said. "We're all saddened by it."
Ms. Prediger compared the loss of the marine mammal – found caught up fishing nets off the coast of Japan in 1991 – to that of a loyal pet.
"If you have a really faithful dog that you've had all your life… when he passes away you're really upset," she said. "And I think it's the same with these animals. You become really attached to them, so it's hard on people."
Spinnaker was brought to Vancouver on July 31, 2001, and achieved the average lifespan for a Pacific white-sided dolphin. The aquarium's two remaining dolphins, Hanna, 17, and Helen, 23, arrived at their new home in 2005.
The last dolphin to die at the aquarium was Laverne, a 31-year-old female who passed away in 2009.
Spinnaker's death follows the passing of Milo the sea otter from lymphoma in January. The 13-year-old grew to be adored worldwide after he was filmed holding paws with his companion at the Vancouver Aquarium, garnering over 17-million views online.
