(This is the second in a two-part look at the UAH Chargers' 2012-13 basketball season that wrapped up Tuesday night in the NCAA South Regional finals, ending their season with a 26-5 record, a 106-22 mark over the last four years. Today: The season in review -- and a season in preview.)
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- The unmistakable sound of a basketball hitting a wooden floor echoed through the building.
Spencer Palmer, Greg Gardner and Troy Sexton were in a shoot-rebound-pass triangle, rotating as each took his share of shots.
It was Wednesday afternoon, less than 10 hours after they arrived home from a solemn, sleepless all-night bus ride from Florida, where the UAH Chargers' season ended in heartbreak, a 90-88 loss to Florida Southern precipitated by a controversial call with 2.3 seconds remaining.
It was also, give or take a few days, 230 days until they'll play their next game.
Yet Palmer, a rising sophomore from Madison Academy, Gardner, the heir apparent to Jaime Smith at point guard, and Sexton, a former Kentucky high school superstar who redshirted this season, were working out.
"Hopefully that's what we've built our program on. Kids that are hungry, that want to be good players," coach Lennie Acuff said.
The returning players for the 2013-14 UAH Chargers have some sizable Nikes they must fill.
The senior class of Smith, Zane Campbell and Xavier Baldwin, along with walk-on Brett Wester and the since-departed Josh Magette (who didn't take a redshirt season as Smith, Campbell and Baldwin did), was part of a program that won 106 of 128 games in the past four years.
It won four Gulf South Conference titles, one GSC tournament title, two NCAA Division II South Regional championships and twice reached the Elite Eight.
As Acuff told them in a team meeting Wednesday, "There will be a time as early as next year you'll look back and be able to grasp and put into context the run you've had and just how special this has been and how fortunate we've all been to be a part of something like that, a four-year run that probably is unparalleled in our state as far as college basketball is concerned."
An hour later, Acuff was in his office, just out of earshot of the echoes in the gym, and reiterated a phrase he had used earlier in the month for his seniors.
"There are good teams and there are great teams and there are legacy teams," he said. "They had legacy careers. Not many people can say that."
Even after a long ride where there was "just a lot of emotion going around, a bunch of thinking going on," Campbell doesn't quite have the perspective on this era.
"It hasn't sunk in yet," Campbell said. "It's been a great time, a great five years. We got a lot accomplished. But it hasn't really sunk in."
It will be a substantial loss; Campbell, Smith and Baldwin combined to score more than half the team's points.
However, Wayne Dedrick, who averaged 12.5 points per game and lit up Florida Southern for 27, returns. A freshman who hadn't played for four years because he opted for a pro baseball contract after high school, he still showed signs of rust.
Ronnie Mack was, in the first half of the season, among the nation's top 3-point shooters. Conner Blasi will be back in the lineup after a season interrupted twice by injury, one that required surgery. Andy Donovan proved to be a long-range marksman. Gardner grew more and more comfortable at the point. Palmer was steady enough that he was on the floor in the final minute Tuesday night.
"We've got a chance to have a good basketball team next year," Acuff said.
"We're going to miss our seniors but I'm encouraged about what we have coming back. I'm excited about our team for next year. We're obviously going to be very young and very inexperienced but I wouldn't sleep on us too much. It'll be a rebuilding year but I think we'll have a chance to have a really good team."
Apprised by a visitor of the threesome who were shooting in the gym, Acuff managed what was a rare smile on this day.
"Having guys like that in there," he said, "that gives you hope."

HOLYOKE -- City clerk-elect Brenna Murphy McGee has established a website where residents can post ideas to improve the office.
"During this transition phase it is very important for me to hear from the people of Holyoke when it comes to what they would like to see from their city clerk and the clerk's office," McGee said Thursday.
The website is brennamcgee.com.
McGee, a city councilor at large, won a four-year term as city clerk in the Nov. 5 election. She defeated Assistant City Clerk Louise K. Bisson, 57.3 percent to 42.4 percent, or 5,055 votes to 3,740 votes.
McGee and other election winners will be sworn into office in January.
McGee said she has been discussing the transition with City Clerk Suzanne Mead and will continue meeting with Mead and clerk staff. Mead will return to her previous position of assistant registrar of voters in January.
"One of my primary goals is going to be focused around improving customer service for our Holyoke residents so to have Suzanne's experience and advice available during this transition phase is a tremendous help to those efforts," McGee said.
The City Council appointed Mead city clerk in February because Susan M. Egan, the longtime clerk, was set to retire March 1 because of illness. Egan was clerk for more than 20 years and worked in the clerk's office for 43 years.

Bio about the Saxon MC Asher Senator taken from http://uncarved.org/blog/?p=736
Born to Chat - The Asher Senator Story
Jah man me go a kill you with originality
Me name Asher Senator at the mic MC
Me bredren them a call me human dictionary
Abbreviation Qualification a me speciality
Asher Senator was born Peter St Aubyn and grew up in Clapham. At the age of 14 he was already grabbing the mic at house parties, eventually blagging spots on the Buchanan soundsystem alongside his lyrical sparring partner Smiley Culture. The pair appeared on sounds such as Black Harmony and Frontline before joining premiership sounds Coxsone Outernational and Saxon Studio International in the early/mid 80s. (Unusually they seem to have maintained a presence on both rather than settling for one sound?)
Like many youths of his generation, Asher was initially inspired by yard tapes. As he told the NME: Them times we used to listen to Brigadier Jerry, Nicodemus, different different artists but we started making what we call style by writing rhyming lyrics that went on and on without finishing continuous style.
Its clear from the interview that Ashers time on Saxon had been put to good use - flashing lyrics in the dance acted like a lightning conductor for creativity:The way I see it, some MCs live off six lyrics for years and years, never changing. Whereas were on the move all the time because time is running, yknow Smiley and I took a break once and developed 10 new lyrics each and then appeared at the Nottingham Palais. We chatted on the mic non-stop right through to the end of the evening. A wild feeling.At the time of the NME piece, Smileys Cockney Translation had been released and was climbing the reggae charts. Ashers first single was imminent
Asher Senator - Abbreviation Qualification / Fast Style Origination (Fashion 12″ 1984)
The single was voiced and mixed at A-Class Dub Studio, located under the Dub Vendor record store on Lavender Hill. Ashers vinyl debut included some tried and tested rhymes from Saxon sessions. Abbreviation Qualification uses acronyms as a lyrical base
Seh master of ceremony well that a M.C.Seh very important persons that a V.I.P.
Im best in a the business that a B.I.B.
For those abbreviations surely describe me
and a heavy rub a dub reworking of the Feel Like Jumping riddim as a musical one.Fast Style Origination is a quick-fire potted history of UK cockney chat, for people who needed to catch up. It notes that Saxon MC Peter King was the first to properly use the style in the UK, but the title of the song means that Asher is occasionally credited as being the fast style originator. It comes with a spacious dub mix. Crucial Vinyl!!!
Various Artists - Great British M.C.s (Fashion LP April 1985)
Its easy to chuck about words like seminal but this LP (the first Fashion released) managed to capture most of the rising stars of the scene as it happened. In places its a grab bag of non-released tracks and b-sides, but is none the worse for that. I imagine that Fashion still wanted people to buy up their stocks of the singles, so it made no economic sense to go for a greatest hits package at that time.
Fast Style Origination features, sandwiched between Phillip Levis Mi God Mi King and Peter Kings Me Neat Me Sweet. Of more interest is Smiley and Ashers Its Coming Down, which I think is the only vinyl example of their lyrical sparring. The two alternate lines and take an obvious delight in finally making it together into a recording studio - you can hear them smiling!
Johnny Ringo Meets Asher Senator - JA To UK M.C. Clash (Fashion LP 1985)
Papa Levi had already shown that the UK MCs could stand shoulder to shoulder with their compatriots from yard. Fashion tried to make this more explicit with their JA to UK MC Clash series.
In the first instalment Asher and Ringo take it in turns to do a rhyme apiece on the same riddim. Large chunks of this are reproduced on the Lyric Maker mix, but I would particularly like to flag up Asher in Court for its outstanding lyrics which encapsulate the cockney chat satirical style, and To Whom Respect is Due which has a riddim every bit as good as those coming out of the Roots Radics stable back a yard.
It seems like Asher was exploding with lyrics at the time, as A-Class studio engineer Gussie P put it when discussing the album: Every one of those tunes had to be cut down. Just too much lyrics for the actual tune.
Asher Senator - The Big Match / Asher At The Auction (Fashion 12″ 1985)
A friend checked me to go to Tottenham V Man United at White Hart Lane. A week later I thought of all the goings on there and wrote a style about it. I sung it in the dancehall and then Fashions producer heard it and we developed it into a monster
Arguably many of the fast chat tunes released in the mid 80s are novelty records. Indeed, dancehall reggae is always obsessed with the new, fleeting trends and slang get rhymed about in the dance and sometimes make it on to vinyl as well. The question is always does it work? and unfortunately the answer must be a resounding no in the case of The Big Match.
A horns intro of the Match of the Day theme, football chants, claps, whistles and lyrics about an all-black England side in the world cup could conceivably work quite well (see the On-U Barmy Army project), but it doesnt quite do the business. I think its really the fact that the novelty here is so overt, coupled with a more commercial/shiny 80s production, which hasnt aged too well to my ears. Mind you, Asher does get extra points for mentioning Luther Blissett!
Asher and Smiley went to buy a car, and they just heard this guy chatting about a million miles an hour, you know what I mean. - Gussie
In the ABC of fast chat, A is for Asher, B is for Buchanan Sound, and C is for cars. The role of cars in the scene cannot be understated - cars as space, a way of escaping from overcrowded flats, cars as income, for work, cars as a way of socialising.
Asher at Auction features a booming 80s metronomic drum machine, to which I am quite partial. The expensive car sell cheaper inna auction refrain is great, as is Ashers accelerated cockney auctioneer schtick. The instrumental version adds skippier beats and some echoey keyboard fills.
Original Car Style is the reason you need this record, and it isnt even credited on the sleeve! Known by Saxon followers as Asher know everything bout the car, this tune expands the fast chat refrain used in Asher in Court on the MC Clash LP and makes it into a full length extravaganza. For those who didnt hear it on the mix Paul and myself did for Breaking Ranks on Resonance FM, this is a vintage UK chat tune - lyrics fresh out of a Saxon session and a much rawer production than the other tracks on the record.
Asher Senator - Bubble With I / Im The Man (Fashion 12″ 1985)
This was a return to form after The Big Match. Is the absence of a picture sleeve evidence of Fashion being skint, or deciding not to market the record outside of the core reggae audience?
Bubble With I is all laid-back runnings in the dancehall bizness, extolling the listener to get down.
Im The Man features Asher over a riddim credited to Germain Revolutionary Sounds and this turns out to be a cut to pressure and slide which was the basis for to the Audrey Hall tune on Penthouse I bigged up here.
Flush with the success of getting the crowd moving on side A, Asher checks his woman dancing with another man! He overhears the interloper making his move, but his lady responds: The way you were dancing, boy I thought you were gay! Me go home with you? Uh uh - no way!
Asher Senator - Born To Chat (Fashion LP 1986)
My voice was cut for 45 and not for LP
No RCA, CBS or HMV
As if to emphasise the title, the cover of the album features a photograph of Asher as a boy, suited and booted in front of a massive speaker. Hed previously told Record Mirror about his plans for the LP Im trying everything - soul, calypso, electronic riddims and lyrics galore. Its a very different affair from JA to UK MC Clash, and Im afraid to say it doesnt really do it for me.
This is partly because the riddims had moved on from the classic A-Class sound of tighter than tight relicks of foundation riddims. By 1986, a whole new era of dancehall had begun, as set out in the tracks Whole Worlds Gone Digital and Live Musicians.
The overall sound is cleaner - possibly because that was the vibe at the time, possibly because the LP was an attempt to launch Asher into the charts alongside Smiley and Tippa, both of whom had achieved some significant success in the national Top 40 by that point. (Unsubstantiated rumour #1. Asher may have appeared on Top of the Pops in unusual circumstances. It is alleged that when Sly and Robbies Boops hit it big in 1987, Shinehead wasnt available to mime to his own vocals. So Asher appeared on Top of the Pops in his stead!)
Ashers lyrics seem like they were constructed more for home listening than nice-ing up the dance. For example Talk to the Animals with its various impersonations of horses etc and the pleas in Exercising for physical fitness both seem very different to the routines previously recorded live or in the studio.
The best bits are Duck and Head Out (which is explicitly about the dancehall) and Rule of England (which retains the previous humour - combining megalomania and a cockney black consciousness). Thank You Sah is another highlight, but is quite similar to Asher in Court off the split LP
After Born to Chat, the story becomes more hazy. Senator Records was set up in the late 80s as a way of releasing Ashers own productions, featuring releases by himself, Smiley Culture, Tippa Irie and Joseph Cotton.
There is some talk of Asher and Smiley performing on their own soundsystem (Studiomix Sound?) away from Saxon, but this doesnt seem to have been anything other than a temporary home.
In the 90s Asher recorded for euro-dance artists like Antares Project and Molela (unsubstantiated rumour #2: Asha Senator featured on a record called Personality with Michelle Gayle - aka Hattie from Eastenders). He also featured on:
Various Artists Jungle Vibes Volume 2 (Red Arrow/SPV CD1995)
This is a jungle comp straight outta Germany which I know little about it has some Lennie De Ice tunes on and some from Trouble on Vinyl. It opens and closes with tracks featuring the hero of our story:
Respect due to you Its true we insist
Jungle Music a English Business
Jungle Mania a sweep up the town
All foundation you fi shine up your crown.
187 feat Asher Senator All Foundation Junglist is proper everything but the kitchen sink mid 90s bizness amens, sirens, rewinds, skanking keyboard stabs, etc. Ashers vocal is in time with the bpms, the music had finally caught up with the rapid fire of the Saxon MCs some 12 years after Peter King kicked off.
Lickwood Syndicate feat Asher Senator Harder They Fall is less frenetic (and slightly less successful) but does feature Asher singjay style in a similar vein to some of the Congo Natty vocals.
More interesting than this is Ashers increasing commitment to community politics. C.O.D.E. 7 Music was set up by Asher asa community based organisation that focuses on the Arts, in particular Music and Drama. The organisation provides training courses for young people who are referred from other youth support organisations. C.O.D.E-7 MUSIC also offers representation for clientele in the music industry and administers music sales. C.O.D.E stands for Community Organisation for Development and Entertainment. 7 signifies their purpose, which is development through:1.Education2.Employment3.Youth Inclusion4.Crime Diversion5.Anti Drugs6.Anti Gun7.Unification / UnityThe C.O.D.E. acronym shows his continuing fondness for the abbreviation qualification! Ashers background has enabled him to rope in many previous contacts to take part in Code 7 projects, including Ricky Rankin.
David Blunkett, Lee Jasper, Asher Senator
As Director of Code 7, Asher has been outspoken about policing, gun crime and drug issues. A piece in the Guardian about the film Bullet Boy gave him a platform for his current activities:Many within the black community believe that hip hop and urban culture with their connotations of violence and aspirational lifestyles form part of the problem, but Asher Senator, the director of Code 7, started the scheme in 1996 to use urban music as a positive outlet for frustrated youngsters. Senator is an enthusiastic man in his forties who sounds more like a CEO than a community worker. At his office in Brixton, he introduces me to two young proteges, Mizzery and Chalwa.We do workshops that attract a lot of people who are youth offenders or have been excluded from school. Our objectives are to recreate opportunities for young people to do things that they actually want to do. As well as teaching music and business skills, he promotes conscious lyrics at his workshops. There is no place for unthinking gangsta rap at Code 7.It seems like hes kept up to date with music as well here is a stream of him over Diwali with Ricky Rankin and Champion courtesy of London reggae night Return of the Boom Bap
And here, in traditional uncarved style, is Asher on Saxon Sound back in 83 during theirlegendary clash with Ghetto-Tone at Lewisham Boys Club.

Q: We have a visitor every evening about 8:45 p.m. who likes to perch on our front porch. We are not sure why this bird has picked our porch to perch every evening. Do you know what type of bird this little guy is? (accompanying photo) He seems determined to stay on our front porch during the night and doesn't seem frightened by human activity. Scott Lyter, of Mechanicsburg.
A: That looks like a barn swallow, a fairly common bird of open country across much of North America.
As the name implies, its nests in barns, in sheds, under bridges and under porch roofs, where it builds cup-shaped nests, formed of mud and grass with a lining of feathers, hair and fine grass. The nest is affixed to an upright wall under an overhang or sometimes placed on a ledge.
Originally a cave-nester, the species has adapted to nearly exclusive use of man-made structures. It generally displays little fear of humans.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have listed safety Louis Delmas (knee), defensive end Cliff Avril (back) and defensive tackle Sammie Hill (toe) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Delmas has missed the team's first four games after having knee surgery in August. He returned to practice last week, but had a scheduled day off on Friday to prevent a potential setback.
Avril injured his back while trying to chase down Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder during the Lions' last game. He had to be helped off the field, but an MRI revealed no damage. He's been a full participant in practice the past two days.
If Sammie Hill is unable to go, the Lions would have depth concerns up front. Defensive tackle Corey Williams has already been ruled out after having knee surgery two weeks ago, leaving the Lions with just two healthy players -- Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley -- at the position. Defensive end Lawrence Jackson has also proven capable of handling some snaps inside if needed.
Also showing up on Friday's injury report were tight end Brandon Pettigrew (knee), safety Amari Spievey (groin), linebacker Stephen Tulloch (knee) and wide receiver Titus Young (knee). All four players are listed as probable.
The list for the Eagles is more lengthy, but all players are probable.
Safety Colt Anderson (knee), wide receiver Jason Avant (wrist), running back Bryce Brown (shoulder), wide receiver Riley Cooper (collarbone), long snapper Jon Dorenbos (ankle), offensive tackle King Dunlap (hamstring), fullback Stanley Havili (quad), linebacker Akeem Jordan (hamstring), linebacker Mychal Kendricks (ankle), defensive tackle Derek Landri (knee) and defensive end Darryl Tapp (foot) were all full participants in Friday's practice.

Wednesday's lineups: Tigers vs. Rays
Avisail Garcia is making his sixth consecutive starts, the last four in center field. Between this streak of starts and Jim Leyland's remarks, it appears Garcia has settled in as the regular center fielder until Austin Jackson. And there's still no word on when Jackson will be back.
UPDATE: Last-minute change for Rays, which didn't become evident until Sam Fuld stepped to the plate to lead off the game instead of Matt Joyce. Kelly Johnson apparently has been scratched. Matt Joyce moves down from leadoff to third, with Fuld replacing Johnson in left.
I doubled down in Beat the Streak for the first time, going with Torii Hunter's history off Alex Cobb as well as Miguel Cabrera's current stretch of hitting. You can look at MLB.com beat writers' picks here.

Cafardo: "Justin Verlander's batting average (balls in play) for the last three seasons: 2011, .237; 2012, .275; and 2013, .368."
Hey, it's Michigan. And as a Grand Rapidian, it is 58 degrees and raining! Go Tigers! –Dave
They forgot today to work the count on the most inefficient pitcher in MLB
Betcha Fister wishes he had Cobbs generous strike zone! Bull!
That's a way to get out of an inning! Nice play by Fielder and way to execute Alex.
There are only 27 outs, keep them, more or less goes the dictum by Weaver
Why would you send Garcia on the first pitch?
Failed hit and run
Garcia mucked that routine fly ball there in the 5th.
He is learning to play in a hard park. Kept the ball in front of him. Still better than the options
Not that I necessarily want Kelly in, but he doesn't muck that up!……I want Austin back!
We want Jackson back
It was the umps fault
What is wrong with Dirks?
Besides he hasn't been that good!
Doug's probably wondering what he has to do to get some run support?
El Tigre, why hit and run on the first pitch?
I dont know, just guessing why he was running. Or he lost a sign
2 of the hardest hit balls tonight by the Rays were to Prince. Both ended in DPs.
Did anyone get a load of that game in Seattle!
highlight beside box and summary
A full game, the BoSox-Yankees would be still warming up
Come on Prince! Get this for Doug!
And now here te Rays go in the 9th…………terrible airmail throw by Garcia! What happened to tat arm we saw last year?
Pull him before the game is wide open
Looks like the Tigers get to face Rodney.
Tigers have not had one come from behind walk off "mojo" win this year. It's really surprising.
Por Doug deserved a better fate than this…..his boys have given him 0 run support in his last 2 outings.
Detroit needs Jackson. Garcia needs Toledo.
So now Leyland pulls Fister? Where is Smyly? He should have pitched to Joyce. Another game outmanaged. Maddon pulled Cobb and walked Miggy and brought in a different pitcher.
Come on Leyland didn't do anything wrong….Doug had well under 100 pitches he had to go back out. Fielder probably shoulda had Fuld out on that bunt single., then Doug gave up a coupe seeng eye singes it hapoens, but hw s it Leyland fault…everything is not fault. And guess what Smyly came in and gave up a triple to basically put it out of reach.
Another QS wasted
And here comes Rodney.
What does the pitch count mean? Smyly, a lefty, should have come in to pitch to the lefty Joyce. Why did Leyland send Garcia on the first pitch to Dirks? It is not hindsight. I made both those calls before they happened.
Pitch count and they hadnt squared anything up on him. And how do you know Leyland sent him…maybe a missed sign and guess what sometimes they just don't execute. Some if its got to be on the players. Just because they lose doesnt make it his fault.
PR for Vmart?
You mean CPR, right? That inside FB at 99 had him scared.
I said that after the the walk before the single
I said that after V-Mart's AB with the inside 99 FB.
I have a delayed feed. Sometimes worse than usual.
I am just frustrated that we can not score any runs. Garcia getting thrown out at second? I think my neighbors heard me yell.
It's incredibly frustrating…..this team. Imagine how Doug feels 0 run support into games.
Rodney is NASTY.
Fister received a lot of RS until the last game
Bunting, whatever happened with Garcia,:giving outs like candies.
And the misplayed bunt.
Fielder hit a lot last two games when the game was open.
Three shutouts so far tonight. Indians lost, too. White Sox and Mariners each had a 13 inning shutout and then both scored five in the fourteenth!!! Wonder if that ever happened?? Sox won in 7-5 in sixteen innings.
Good pitching duel, entertaining. Got to win those close games, fellas. That's a real bad trend.
I also thought it was not a steal attempt, but also not a classic hit and run. Jim just put the runner in motion and it didn't work. Sometimes it does. More often it doesn't. Not a bad call, though.
I think Hunter is also having trouble tracking the ball at Comerica. I know he's played there a lot, but now it's every day. The slant on the stands fools a lot of outfielders. Jackson, Granderson, etc. all talked about it.
Guess what? We need to win tomorrow to avoid dropping our third consecutive series. Also a bad trend.
missed the first 6 innings due to my daughters birthday (6) – but i really wanted drew to start 8th inning. c'mon jim i KNOW his pitch count was down but you gotta play to win series. Drew could have gotten us 2 innings then beniot and maybe even jose. Kudos to Doug – guy's an ace.
Couldn't disagree more……
Regarding Fisters run support…..I disagree he had a bit in the beginning of the year but not always.
0 run support 0-3 loss Tampa he got the loss
0 run support 0-1 loss Pittsburg no decision
2 runs of support 2-3 loss Minnesota he got the loss
8 runs of support 8-11 loss to Texas no decision
6 runs of support 6-2 win .Houston….he got the win
4 runs of support 4-5 loss Washington He got the loss
4 runs of support 4-3 win Houston he got a no decision
8 runs of support 8-3 win Atlanta he got the win
3 runs of support 3-4 loss Angels …..no decision
6 runs of support 6-2 win Seattle He got the win
11 runs of support 11-1 win Toronto he got the win
8 runs of support 8-3 win Yankees …he got the win
This team likes to tantalize it's troops by hanging around, and then losing in one of the last three innings. Had a feeling tonight. Like Dan says, how does this team get shutout 6 times already this year? The four and the six had, I believe five strikeouts between them; take the bat out Mr. Three, and your'e talkin thin ice on scoring. Cobb has tough stuff, but Doug matched him pitch by pitch. I mean, he's in the ninth, and hadn't thrown 100 pitches yet. As each games passes, you realize how much we miss Ajax, and how bad the AL Central is. Thank heaven for small favors.
We desperately need the win tomorrow; how low can you go, and still stay on top in your own division? Well, there were three good things in this game tonight:
1.Avila plays his best game in 3000 years. The DP was totally cool, and the two hits(yes, there were two)were his most solid contact in 500 years. When Avila hits, and you still lose, you know it's trouble.
2.I mention it almost every night, but Infante has taken his defensive gain to another level. Too many K's, but the leather is is holing it's own.
3. Only 1 walk from the pitching staff again. It is so critical in late innings to avoid a walk, especially a leadoff walk. Our starters have been doing their job pretty effectively lately.
Kudos belong to the battery. Madden has proven how to beat us by taking th bat out of Miggy's hands. Look for this trend to continue until V-Mart comes alive. By the way, The Tampa closer might look like a clown, but he surely doesn't act like one.
Good night all!
Please overlook my spelling; it's depression from being retired from teaching; HA!
The reason the fans seem to shift their attention to one problem or the other is….there's always one problem or another. Can there never be a stretch where everything works?
Run Support Average (per start) , Scherzer:6.55. Verlander:5.50. Sanchez: 5.08. Fister: 5.00
For all the talk about Verlander, his record: 7-4.
Sanchez and Fister have better ERA but worse records than Scherzer and Verlander
My point was that it was scewed by a few games when they scored a bunch but for the most he has had several when he has got very little.
I know, And it is true. The same happened to Verlander and Sanchez. The team scored no runs or a little before giving them a lot of RS. The only not affected by the pattern is Scherzer
ESPN has Scherzer, Sanchez and Verlander top 10 for Cy Young Award:
walked lobaton in the 8th, then gives up a hit to fuld on his first pitch (chagneup). Then a 3 pitches out of the strike zone and then zobrist hits a single (changeup). Matt Joyce then hits the 1st pitch he sees (cutter) for a sac. 1-0 rays.
maybe it's hindsight but it went bad there right quick.
besides if your starter gives you 7 or 8….heck why not knock some rust off of the pen. if you don't they'll get rusty
Walking cabby to face Prince and then not giving prince much to hit. Good strategy because Vmart is hitting like .230 with (until june) little power.
Want a smoking gun stat? When the tigers win: Vmart's slash line is .320/.360/.451/.811, when we lose Vmart's slash line is .100/.163/.122/.285
also i found this interesting for Vmart in 2013:
0 out: .318/.395/.500/.895
1 out: .211/.241/.254/.494
2 outs: .160/.203/.200/.403
then again these splits tell a diff. story for Vmart in 2013:
high leverage index: .286/.309/.408/.717
medium: .225/.289/.288/.576
low: .193/.247/.277/.524
Evan, my point exactly on Fister. Even tho his pitch count was low, all the TB hitters had a good look at Doug. 10 runs one game and 0 the next? Don't make no sense! Whadda ya think Jim?
Let's try to learn something from that loss last night. Call to stat pros. El Tigre, Dave B. DB, Evan, Rich, whoever else who wants to do research. It was the top of the ninth and Fister, who I believe was at 97 pitches, was facing the top of the order for the fourth time. We see those stats, first time through the order, second time…, third time …. What are Doug's numbers the fourth time through?? Doug Fister has gone deep enough in SIX games to get to that fourth time through the order. Small sample size but getting near fifteen batters probably.
in 2013, 15 abs: opponents slash line .533/.529/.533/1.063
career: .279/.317/.369/.686
Pitch 1-15. Opp ba…..239
16-30 Opp ba .256
21-45. Opp ba .268
46-60. Opp ba .285
61-75. Opp ba .231
75-90 Opp ba ..245
91-105 Opp ba ..277
106-120 Opp ba .196
But last night….. It was a botched play by Fielder should of been an easy out then he gave up 2 seeing eye singles….they really hit nothing hard that ninth inning of course until Smyly gave up the triple. That being said you can't score one stinking run you can't win. They aren't playing well they aren't scoring runs consistently. They are horrible in 1 -2 run games.
Avi's bad throw and the pitching decisions make no difference when the offense doesn't score any runs. This years offense reminds me of the '08 team that was shutout 12 times. At least the pitching staff is a lot better then that one.
this is true.
Just curious Jason. You doubled down with Hunter and Cabrera. Neither had a hit. So do you still have a laptop?? What's up man?? Do we get a post?? The game starts in less than an hour.
[getting antsy for pre-game show]
Jason is not here. See the Twitter feed on the right side of this page.
we have the league lead in 10> run games and 0 run games.
max in the zone
Looks like the hitters are picking up right were they left off last night which is pitiful! With the exception of a couple of fluke games over the last few weeks they have been incredibly boring to watch. Underperforming most nights at least on the hitting side.
No new blog? Does Roberto Hernandez = Fausto Carmona? Last with Cleveland. Changed his name. Lied about his age.
I am beginning to think VMart is a black hole in the lineup.
Jason is off today……
Who isn't a black hole on this team. They all stink!
Miggy isn't.
VMART 2 run shot!
i grow beards in between tiger runs these days *yawn*
[begins shaving]
Lloyd baby- This inconsistent hitting has been going on for years. I'll always be a Tiger fan but watching this hitting game after game is getting me down. Do other teams go through this?
Both teams going at a fast and furious pace. Game over before 3:15??? Was this guy on the mound when Galarraga threw THE game??
Omg we scored a run!
jim and dad keep talking about how fausto made a gesture to cabby after getting him out. Then a hit, a hr, hit, hit…..by prince, vmart, peralta and alex. Kinda like guilen when Weaver gave Maggs trouble – protecting your teammates! Cool!
Two struggling hitters make solid contributions lately. Good job V-Mart and Alex.
Think VMart heard me? Or maybe Lloyd was impressed that I called him "baby?" Now Infante digs a black hole.
And Omar hit the ball hard but ended up hitting into a DP. Almost a big inning.
Who did the Tigers get for Matt Joyce? Seems like they gave up on him too soon.
He was traded for Jackson who was then traded for Max. No complains from me. To receive value you need to give value. Not every trade can be highway robbery
and Schlearth
Max is dealing today just like Doug did last night. The difference of course is he now has a two run lead. Let's see how it plays out for him.
Good job Don. Lead off single.
don starting the offense – SOP.
and kudos to cabby for paying back fausto for disrespecting him
He always gets RS but last game
Top of the sixth and this will be Max's biggest zero of the game if he can get it!!!!!!!!!!!!
max you gotta go out there and shut down that next inning what are you DOING!?
I would feel safer with more runs. Are Smyly and Benoit available today?
kathy, you pinch hit Avi here or 2E?
hopefully max corrects whatever messed him up last inning
and he does
Top of the eighth do we see Benoit??
that's one way to knock out the starter😉
Miggy enjoys playing baseball, it is fun to watch. Nice steal of 2B. Now VMart can bring him home!
folks, he is so special that Miguel! And big props to Tommy Brookens for knowing the arm of Fuld.
Someone is having fun today
Beniot can get it done!
Miggy is fun to watch for soooo many reasons.
Oh boy….. It just can't ever be easy!
Well should be out of this inning that s if the ump wasn't squeezing Benoit!
ok papa lets see a splitter
and there it is!
daaaaance dance papa! well done! beautiful!
Dance PAPA!
Okay. Nice win. Benoit a little shaky. No drama with VV. Did Miggy act like that slide hurt him a bit?
Jim Price said it was a "slide raspberry".
dan and jim said prolly a raspberry
pape threw splitters, and his fastballs were well located with good velocity
The splitter was nasty.
No one is going to give up on VMart, except some bloggers. His track record is too good, he paycheck is too big, and his presence is too important. I think he will mash in the summer if/when it gets warm
Max has been our most effective starter all year long. He's going to make it difficult to resign him. We'll have to choose Max or Ajax. Just can't see us keeping both.
Tim McCarver(barf), has already predicted Cy Young for Max this year. He's certainly in the running at this time. The amazing thing is that he's going deeper than any other starter. Good win for the guy today, against what ever his name is.
Kudos today to Victor, Jhonny, and Miguel. Three things stand out in this game today:
1. The Garcia Sac Fly in the sixth. There were two outs, and at the time the score was 3-1. This gave us our fourth run. Good job by the Rookie, especially with the two outs.
2. The Cabrera stolen base in the seventh. No stolen base means no fifth run. Again, Miggy demonstrates baseball skills and smarts from one who has no speed, but is an above average base runner. And the best player in the game today.
3. V-Mart has three RBI's today, and continues his slow journey toward .250. Hi will be a very important bat in the coming games.
Alex raises his average two points today. Dirks lowers his by seven. Oh wouldn't it be great to see consistency. Congrats again to JVV. I still see him as a very weak link, but will give him props when he earns them. Good evening all! Bring on the tribe.
Rejoice. We won the series. One little crooked number and three add on 1s. That's a good combo. Solid pitching. Max only threw 100 pitches. And latest 6 day vacation man Benoit knocks off the rust and throws 24 pitches. Why was he on vacation?? Well, he threw 202 pitches in April and followed it up with 193 in May. That's a heavy work load for a bullpen guy so the Skipper found six days to not use him. Is he ready to go?? Sure he is. The reports make me believe that Valverde looked very good. Now we have the Indians coming to town. Man your batlle stations. No scalps for the Tribe.
There wasn't two outs.
Anyone who watched the game on TV may have seen Cabrera set up Hernandez for his next AB. The next AB was when there was a runner in scoring position. Miggy might be the best hitter in history.
Good point Dan. I was dreaming of a four out inning.
First pick, someone who rejected the Pirates to sign with Houston.

Everytime I travel to Paris I notice how perfect their skin is. I know they don't use a lot of the harsh products that we use here.
I used to have bad acne, took accutane (big mistake for my body) but it did clear up everything. I now am struggling again with some breakouts and am using glycolic pads, Obagi products and Retin-a from my dermatologist. It helps but doesnt seem to cure.
Is it better to use natural/no products or to stick with these products from the dermatologist? Obviously diet plays a huge role but I am really good with my diet at this point so not sure why we struggle with acne here in America. Share your stories and advice

About 3,000 Bowie State University students are looking for new health insurance plans after the school dropped their coverage.
Officials said the school's basic $5,000 plans are not legal under the Affordable Care Act.
The school told 11 News that it considered altering those policies to make them work under the new law.
But administrators decided students would be better served by tapping into health care exchanges or staying on their parents' policies.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - A $3.6 million professorship at Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management will honor B. Charles Ames, an executive and long-standing benefactor.
The school today is holding a chairing ceremony for professor N. Mohan Reddy, the inaugural chair of the B. Charles Ames Professorship in Management.
The endowed chair was created with a $2 million gift from The Ames Family Foundation Trustees and tribute gifts from many of his friends and former colleagues.
"By creating this professorship, we hope to highlight our father's long involvement and commitment to global business education and the Weatherhead School of Management," said Ames' daughter Cindy Ames Huffman, speaking on behalf of her family, in a press release. "We are delighted by the appointment of our dear friend Mohan Reddy, whose teaching and service to students and to the business community is exceptional. As our father once said, 'A quality faculty attracts a quality student; it's a cycle in which you have to have quality on both sides of the spectrum.'"
Joe Rice, principal at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC and Ames' good friend, made a $1 million gift toward establishing the professorship on the company's behalf.
Ames, the retired vice chairman of CD&R in New York, was previously chairman and CEO of Reliance Electric Co., CEO of Acme Cleveland Corp., chairman and CEO of the Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Co. and a director and managing partner in the Cleveland offices of McKinsey & Co.
Ames, who served as the first chair of the Weatherhead School's visiting committee, has had a profound impact at CWRU, from mentoring students to creating the Ames Business Plan Competition in 2008, the university said.
His nearly $6 million in contributions to date includes a recent significant gift to provide scholarships for the management school's Global MBA program for American students to study abroad in China and India as part of its three-country partnership.
An endowed chair is among the highest honors a faculty member can receive. Reddy, joined the Weatherhead faculty in 1985 after earning an MBA and PhD from the school. He served as dean of the Weatherhead School from 2006 to 2012, and received several teaching and service awards.

The Nike LeBron X will transition into the Nike Air Max LeBron X Low right as Easter weekend arrives. You'll recall that the same process took place on the last iteration of King James' signature line via Nike Basketball's Easter trio at around this time last year. The sneaker swaps out the Zoom Air cushioning that the Nike LeBron X made its debut in and instead goes for a full length Max Air unit running along the bottom (A change noted by the callout to that tech in the title). Check out the Nike Air Max LeBron X Low (Release date: March 29th) right after the jump and tell us if you like the look in the comments.

The death knell is sounding for the military's "don't ask, don't tell policy, "and we hope Congress hears the ringing.
A Pentagon study released last week indicates that 70 percent of America's military personnel say that allowing gays to serve openly would have either a positive, mixed or no effect on the service.
Furthermore, the nation's top brass, starting with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen assured Congress the military can take care of the matter.
Now it's up to Congress to repeal "don't ask, don't tell." The sooner it acts, military officials can start integrating gays fully into the service.
If lawmakers don't take the lead, the policy may be abolished by the courts. A federal district court judge has already ruled against "don't ask, don't tell," and the case could be settled by Supreme Court.
Defense officials prefer congressional action. They believe a court decision would be too abrupt and disruptive, and they want time to implement a new policy.
But lawmakers might not get the chance to act. GOP leaders may block any measures that come before the lame-duck Congress, unless there are votes to extend the Bush-era tax cuts.
That would be a mistake. Gay men in women who serve our country in harm's way should not be held hostage to partisan politics.
Although the majority of service members don't have a problem with gays serving openly, a sizable percentage of combat-arms soldiers and Marines do. On Friday the Army and the Marine Corps' top generals urged Congress to preserve "don't ask, don't tell."
Pentagon officials believe they can solve that problem. And it's important to remember that there was widespread opposition to racially integrating the military during the Korean War.
Still, as Mullen told Congress, soldiers are soldiers, and it's their duty to follow orders.
"This is without question a complex social and cultural issue," he said. "But at the end of the day, whatever the decision of our elected leaders may be, we in uniform have an obligation to follow orders."
Hooyah!, Admiral Mullen.

I'd have to scout, of course, just wondering if anyone knew if it's worth messing with. We're probably going to be moving before next hunting season and I may be without a place to hunt next season, don't know, depends on events. We're looking around Rocksprings and it's 2 hours south of San Angelo, the closest WMA. I'd like to pup a few mallard up there if nothing else. I'll be dragging my travel trailer up there a lot if we move, methinks.

text: I've got a few friends with Savage model 10's. To me they are just a great feeling gun. Balance great, light, handle great, fit perfect. I just really like them all around. The one thing I don't like about them is I don't like that they are bolt actions. I'm a big semi auto fan when it comes to hunting rifles. After handing one of those though my BAR feels like I'm hauling around a ton of bricks in the field. Are there any semi auto hunting rifles out there similar in weight and handling to the Savage model 10's?

im trying to work out how to get the "shadow" of a sphere which is positioned on a plane. The light is a point somewhere above the sphere. The shadow will be a cone/plane intersection that is a ellipse or maybe a parabola/hyperbola in weird cases. what i would like is the 2 radii for the ellipse and the points where the ellipse "starts" and "ends" so i might stretch a pre made "shadow" image to the right size and just place it there. Has anyone encountered this before?
thank you for your time

The projection of a sphere on a plane is an ellipse. I can think of several strategies to compute exactly what ellipse it is. For instance, you can compute the lowest and highest ray that are tangent to the sphere, intersect them with the ground plane and that will give you the major axis of the ellipse. The point where the sphere touches the ground is a focus of the ellipse. That's already enough information to recover the ellipse exactly.

The almond colored daybed cover and shams I purchased were perfect--color, fabric, fit.
The Daybed Set was beautiful but too long for my daybed. It wasn't the right fit so I had to return it.
I have been searching for a new daybed cover for quite some time. I really love this one, fits my daybed perfectly!!!
I am very happy with my purchase. This daybed set in "Almond" is a darker taupe color. I wanted a color and fabric that you can occasionally sit on without worry. This one is perfect for my needs. It is very well made and looks beautiful. Neutral enough to allow a change of color scheme by simply adding various throw pillows. I'm certain this set will keep me happy for many years!
Because the selection of day bed sets available in my city was poor, I had to go online. The one I bought was the best I could find in the color I wanted; I spent more than I had planned. I discovered that the set was of good quality. The order process went wrong when I arranged for mailing. I suspected that there was a problem when the mail clerk accepted a post office box number, then told me that Fedex was the only method of shipment used for my purchase. The mailing charge was $31.50! When I called Fedex, the clerk verified that the company does not deliver to post office boxes and that I would have to call Touch of Class to change the address on the package. When I called Touch of Class back, the new clerk wondered why the mail clerk had insisted on Fedex, since Smart Mail was available. I didn't check your website for mailing choices. I was definitely overcharged.
I loved the quality of this set, My only complaint is that it would have been better if the cover was reversible to the lighter side as well. The "almond" color is misleading. It was actually a very dary Khaki with brown stitching (which wasn't apparent in the photograph). I would have kept it if the lighter side were reversible. Sadly, this had to be returned.
like the color, contrasting shams add appeal
Got this daybed set for my 80 yr old mother in law at her new assisted living apartment. Ordering online, she was worried it would be too "fancy" for everyday use. But now she absolutely loves the soft, neutral colors and sophisticated style. Nurses at the facility have commented on how beautiful the cover and shams are. (Easy to clean as well.)
I have tried so many day bed covers that I've lost count. This is by far the best one I've ever had! I like the way it fits the bed, it's washable, and the color is perfect! I hardly ever write reviews but I just had to rave about this cover.
I returned this item because the color was darker than I expected and it didn't give me the look I wanted. I ordered the Princess to replace it.
Very nice. Quality cover.
After having received the Tides daybed set and seeing the quality was poor I sent it back.Then I looked on your online site and saw The Evermore Powder Blue I spoke/ordered it w/the item number only to find out the one being sent was almond color.When I got it..liked it & sent it back so I am waiting to receive the blue one.It is hopefully coming soon.

LUCEDALE, Mississippi -- The George County Sheriff's Department has release a photo of the suspect being sought in connection to an armed robbery of the 4-Mile Truck Stop today at 4:40 a.m., according to sheriff's spokesman Shonna Pierce.
The photo was pulled from surveillance video from Friday night about midnight.
"From the description, some of the employees recognized him from being in the story a couple of days ago," Pierce said. "He was in the story Friday night around midnight casing it."
Pierce said the suspect got away on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
"We think he had some help," Pierce said. "He left on foot, running into the darkness. The Four-Mile Truck stop is four miles from the Alabama state line, so he could have gone anywhere."
The stork clerk described the suspect as 5-foot-5 to 5-9, weighing around 150 pounds with a slender build. He was wearing a black hoodie and dark gray jeans during the robbery.
Pierce said the store video surveillance is being examined.
Detective Ben Brown said if anyone has any information on this robbery, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-877-787-5898 or the sheriff office at 601 947 4811.

Token-Based Cloud Computing: Secure Outsourcing of Data and Arbitrary Computations With Lower Latency
Secure outsourcing of computation to an untrusted (Cloud) service provider is becoming more and more important. Pure cryptographic solutions based on fully homomorphic and verifiable encryption, recently proposed, are promising but suffer from very high latency. Other proposals perform the whole computation on tamper-proof hardware and usually suffer from the same problem. Trusted Computing (TC) is another promising approach that uses trusted software and hardware components on computing platforms to provide useful mechanisms such as attestation allowing the data owner to verify the integrity of the cloud and its computation.

Rachael Finch vows to make co-host Daniel Gawned pay for backing out of skydiving
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 05, 2012
RACHAEL Finch has vowed to make her "chicken" Nova co-host Daniel "Gawndy" Gawned pay after he pulled out of a skydiving challenge.
"I'm going to make him wear a chicken suit and stand on the side of the road with a sign saying 'I chickened out of skydiving'," she told Confidential after taking the plunge at Wollongong.

Finch, a pseudo skydive pro having jumped four times before, said she loves the adrenalin rush.
It's not the first time she's taken revenge on her co-host. Earlier this year she made "Gawndy" recreate her first photo shoot for Speedo.

UPDATE (4/22/14): McCullough filed an appeal of his life sentence for the murder of Maria Ridulph back in 1957. A key witness in the case, Kathy Chapman, identified McCullough as the man who gave Ridulph a piggyback ride before she disappeared.
In his appeal, McCullough says it's a "romantic notion" that Chapman could identify him as the killer despite 50 years passing between her testimony in court and the date of the murder.
WTVO/WQRF (12/10/12): Jack McCullough is sentenced this morning after being found guilty of murdering Maria Ridulph back in 1957.
McCullough is sentenced to natural life in prison for Ridulph's murder, 5 years for kidnapping and 1 year for abduction.
McCullough was given a choice on whether he wanted to be sentenced under 1957 statute or today's law. He chose the 1957 statute.
Maria Ridulph, 7, was abducted while playing with a friend in December 1957. Her body was discovered months later near Galena, IL. McCullough, 72, was 17 years old at the time and lived near Ridulph's home.

Wendy yawned and grabbed her backpack. She looked around warily before quickly jumping up from the window seat. The library had been her choice of sleep the night before. She'd slipped in right before closing time and managed to avoid the security. Wendy ran her fingers through her hair a couple of times before braiding it. That would have to do for her morning routine. She grinned before skipping outside into the sunlight. Wendy studied the streets carefully before laughing and twirling around a couple of times. "If only I had one of those poofy dresses," she sighed. "Then it would spin all around, too." Wendy was about to take off when she noticed another girl with a bag and skateboard(Thea). She didn't look very happy, either. Wendy followed her quietly all the way to the park. The treehouse intrigued Wendy enough to make her climb up after the girl. The grin was wiped off her face at the sight of her on the ground. "Oh my gosh! Are you hurt? Are you dead? Are you still breathing?" Wendy ran over and started poking her in the side.

Is 'Social Science' an Oxymoron?
John Horgan, Scientific American
AP Photo
I've been mulling over the potential, and limits, of social science again lately. One reason is that last month philosopher James Weatherall of the University of California at Irvine visited my school, Stevens Institute of Technology, to talk about his new book The Physics of Wall Street. Weatherall, who has a Ph.D. in physics as well as in philosophy, argued that the methods of physics can help make economics more rigorous.

Author tells of his Navy pilot father
Author Stephen Rodrick read from his book "The Magical Stranger: A Son's Journey into His Father's Life" in Bremerton Tuesday as part of Armed Forces Festival Week.
Tuesday was also the book's official release date. Rodrick said the Bremerton reading was the first he has done from his newest book, and acted as his "maiden voyage."
After the reading, Rodrick attended a reception at the Kitsap Regional Library in downtown Bremerton where he signed books and spoke with readers.
In his book, Rodrick attempts to get to know his father, a Navy pilot who was absent for much of his childhood. His father, Peter Rodrick, died in 1979 when his plane crashed in the Indian Ocean.
Rodrick was 13 years old at the time of his father's death and was living on Whidbey Island, where his father had been stationed.
Even before his father's death, Rodrick could already feel his absence. His father was an officer on the fast track and was away from his family more than half of the year throughout his son's young life.
To learn more about his enigmatic father, an adult Rodrick turned to the pilots in his father's squadron — VAQ-135.
"In this powerful, beautifully written book, Stephen Rodrick explores the life and death of the man who indelibly shaped his life, even as he remained a mystery: brilliant but unknowable, sacred but absent— an apparition gone 200 days of the year for much of his young son's life—a born leader who gave his son little direction.
"Through adolescence and into adulthood, Rodrick struggled to fully grasp the reality of his father's death and its permanence," Kitsap Regional Library said of Robrick's book.
Rodrick is an accomplished journalist. He is a contributing writer for "The New York Times Magazine" and contributing editor for "Men's Journal." He has had works appear in "The Best American Sports Writing," "The Best American Crime Reporting" and "The Best American Political writing."
Kitsap Regional Library plans to host a number of events throughout the month of May to celebrate Military Appreciation Month. On Saturday, May 18, the Sylvan Way Library will screen the World War II documentary "Honor in the Sky."

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Owners of convertibles love it when the weather is nice. It affords them the luxury of going topless, enjoying unobstructed views of their scenic surroundings.
The same can be said for owners of convertible debt. These bonds also shine when it's sunny outside, given the ability of bondholders to convert their corporate debt into common stock when equity prices are rolling higher.
You can assume, then, that convertible cars and convertible bonds are hard sells when the weather is crummy. So here's the question of the day: Why is E*TRADE (Nasdaq: ETFC ) moving convertible debentures in the middle of its rainstorm? With troubled assets, stiff capital requirements, and analysts expecting losses to continue until 2011, should a company that saw its stock close at $1.26 a share last week really be tethering itself to convertible debt?
The online discount broker announced the terms of its new convertible debt offering this morning. It plans to issue more than $1 billion in convertible bonds, exchangeable into E*TRADE stock at a mere $1.034 a share for the Class A debentures, and $1.551 for the Class B debentures.
Companies offer convertibles as a way to raise money at lower interest rates than conventional debt, even if it means diluting existing shareholders. E*TRADE's new debt is a zero coupon bond, so it actually won't have come with interest expense.
The new debentures are being offered to creditors owning high-yielding E*TRADE debt. It helps that Citadel Investment Group -- the broker's largest creditor -- is willing to convert at least $800 million of its existing E*TRADE for the new convertibles that mature in 2019.
You can't really blame Citadel. It's already in pretty deep with E*TRADE. Beyond being its largest investor and creditor, Citadel's CEO joined the broker's board this month. Anything that helps E*TRADE avoid going under -- and this move, though dilutive, will clearly improve the company's interest expense exposure -- is also good for Citadel.
Extending debt maturities will help keep the buzzards away. Swapping interest-bearing debt for zero coupon debt is a good step toward profitability.
E*TRADE stands out as one of the few money-losing players in the discount brokerage space. Larger rivals TD AMERITRADE (Nasdaq: AMTD ) and Charles Schwab (Nasdaq: SCHW ) are consistently in the black. Diversified trading enablers like Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR ) , optionsXpress (Nasdaq: OXPS ) , and TradeStation (Nasdaq: TRAD ) are all in the black.
E*TRADE stands out in a crowd. Hopefully it will stand out -- in a good way -- once it pops the top on its shiny new convertible.

"The Elephant Man" on Broadway, with Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson and Alessandro Nivola, has just found its home at the Booth Theatre and will begin performances in October.
Cooper, a 2014 Academy Award nominee for "American Hustle," whose film credits also include "The Hangover" and "Silver Linings Playbook," will appear as the disfigured title character in Bernard Pomerance's play. Tony Award nominee Scott Ellis ("The Mystery of Edwin Drood") will direct.
The story of the real-life Joseph Merrick, called John in the play, was made into a 1980 film directed by David Lynch starring John Hurt. It appeared most recently on Broadway in 2002 with Billy Crudup.
The same cast and direction previously performed the play in 2012 at the Williamstown Theater Festival to positive reviews. He made his Broadway debut in Richard Greenberg's "Three Days of Rain" with Julia Roberts in 2006.
Previews start Oct. 18 and the show opens Nov. 13. Tickets go on sale tomorrow for American Express Card Members and to the general public June 28. Call (212) 239-6200 or visit telecharge.com

My test model color was Cayenne Red Pearl, which received thumbs up from several people as I drove around town. It is a comfortable, really nice looking 5-passenger midsize sedan with ample trunk space. The more I drove it, the more I liked it.
The GTZ has an aerodynamic front sweep design with a body color grille and spoiler. This V6 engine delivers 195hp at 5,500 RPM and 205 ft.-lbs. of torque at 4,500 RPM and has been engineered to be quieter with less vibration. Anti-lock brakes are standard on this model.
The GTZ handles really well. It has a 4-wheel independent suspension. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut design with offset placement of the front springs. The rear is a multi-link similar to the Diamante with front and rear stabilizer bars.
The multi-adjustable driver's seat makes it easy to get completely comfortable and works well for all sizes. The all-leather trim, easy to read controls, CD player (in the trunk) and AM/FM cassette audio system, auxiliary 12-volt power outlet, solar tinted glass, and center armrest which folds back to the cupholder for the rear seat passengers, add to the GTZ's appeal. An air filtration system helps prevent pollen and dust from entering the interior.
The high beams and fog lamps are automatically deactivated when headlights are first turned on to avoid accidently blinding oncoming traffic. An automatic headlight shut-off feature leaves the headlights on for 30 seconds after you leave the car. There are side air bags which are mounted in the front seat bolsters in addition to the driver and front air bags.
This car is enjoyable and fun to drive, a "get in and go" car that works well for city as well as long distance driving.

Game time: 7:05 p.m.
Where: TD Garden, Boston
Who's hot for Syracuse
In Syracuse's four games prior to the NCAA Tournament, Scoop Jardine failed to reach double-figure scoring and averaged just 3.7 points. But in the Orange's three NCAA Tournament wins, Jardine has scored 11, 16 and 14 points against UNC Asheville, Kansas State and Wisconsin.
Three points
Observations from an assistant coach familiar with the Ohio State Buckeyes:
- "Syracuse has to continue to run its half-court offense like it did against Kansas State and Wisconsin. They can't settle for shots. They need to share the ball and get everyone involved."
- "Clearly, the matchup with Jared Sullinger is key. Don't let him dominate the paint. The forwards have to support Rakeem Christmas and Baye Keita in the paint and on the backside of the zone."
- "The seniors, Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph, have got to make plays. Syracuse is so much better when Jardine and Joseph play well. Fair took Joseph's place against Wisconsin. Joseph has to do better than two rebounds against Ohio State."
Key Buckeye
Aaron Craft is a 6-foot-2 sophomore guard who averages 8.9 points and 4.7 assists.
Assistant's take: "Jared Sullinger's the All-American and he could really hurt Syracuse, but Aaron Craft's the key for Ohio State. He's going to run the team and get them into their zone sets and get them organized. He'll be on the ball defensively. He could bother Jardine at the point."
Stray fact
Syracuse and Ohio State have met one time in the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse was seeded 6th in the East Region, while the Buckeyes were the 3-seed. Ohio State, which featured Tony Campbell and Granville Waiters, earned a 79-74 victory and advanced to the East Regional in Syracuse.
