Hensley reinstated, Strickland outrighted
The Marlins are welcoming back one of their most consistent relievers. Clay Hensley was reinstated off the 15-day disabled list on Friday, where he will be available against the Braves.
Hensley, the team's primary eighth inning setup right-hander, had been out with a left neck strain. This week, he threw in rehab assignment games at Class A Jupiter.
To make room on the roster for Hensley, right-hander Scott Strickland was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans.

Strickland back in big leagues
For the first time since 2005, Scott Strickland is back in the big leagues.
The 34-year-old right-hander officially had his contract selected on Friday, and he now joins a Marlins bullpen looking for consistency.
Strickland was promoted from Triple-A New Orleans, where he appeared in 14 games and was 3-0 with a 1.72 ERA.
Strickland was added to replace Clay Hensley, who was placed on the disabled list with a left neck strain.
The last time Strickland was in the big leagues was with the Astros in 2005, where he appeared in five games.
The right-hander broke in with the Montreal Expos in 1999, and he has appeared in parts of six MLB seasons.
Strickland was a non-roster invitee with the Marlins in Spring Training, and he opened the year in New Orleans.

Sanchez wins first base job
Second time around, Gaby Sanchez secured the spot.
The 26-year-old will be the Marlins starting first baseman.
The path was cleared for Sanchez on Monday when prospect Logan Morrison was reassigned to Minor League camp. Most likely, Morrison will open the season at Triple-A New Orleans, while Sanchez will experience his first Opening Day at the big league level.
A year ago, Sanchez was in a similar situation. The Miami native entered the 2009 Spring Training with an inside track to win the job. But he had an injury-plagued and inconsistent spring, and opened in Triple-A New Orleans.
That was then. With another year of Minor League seasoning under his belt, Sanchez has enjoyed a strong Spring Training.
In Grapefruit League play, Sanchez has stood out. Heading into Monday, he was batting .409 with two home runs and five RBIs in 44 at-bats. Morrison, meanwhile, finished his Grapefruit League stint with a .209 average and six RBIs in 43 at-bats.
In another roster move on Monday, the reliever Scott Strickland was reassigned to Minor League camp. The right-hander will head to New Orleans.
With Strickland out of camp, the Marlins final bullpen spot may wind up going to Seth McClung or Tim Wood. Rick VandenHurk is another possibility. But chances are VandenHurk will remain a starting pitcher, not a reliever. He will be able to do that at New Orleans.
The question the team will ask is whether to stay with the experience of McClung or the youth of Wood. Weighing in Wood's favor is the fact he's on the 40-man roster. Wood hasn't hurt his chances either, as he's enjoyed a strong spring. In fact, he's throwing better than McClung.
McClung, in camp on a Minor League contract, has a clause to opt out of his deal on April 1. McClung also gives flexibility because he has been a starter, long reliever, and he's even closed in the big leagues. He is more of a multi-innings option than Wood.
Hayden Penn, who was out of options, was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Monday.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez hinted on Sunday that Sanchez could win the first base job. Gonzalez noted that Sanchez was a catcher at the University of Miami, and for a short while in the Minor Leagues.
Sanchez could be the emergency third catcher, which means the Marlins would consider using either Ronny Paulino or John Baker as a pinch-hitter. Typically, teams shy away from using their backup catcher as a pinch-hitter.
Sanchez now provides roster flexibility.
Sanchez batted .289 with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs at New Orleans last year. He also appeared in 21 games with the Marlins, and he has 26 games of big league experience the last two years.

Odds and ends for Sunday
Some interesting items to digest after meeting with manager Fredi Gonzalez on Sunday morning.
* The manager pointed out that Gaby Sanchez, who has caught in the Minor Leagues, gives flexibility as an emergency third catcher.
Stopping short of declaring Sanchez as the starting first baseman, Gonzalez noted that if Sanchez is an emergency third catcher option, it frees up the team to use either John Baker or Ronny Paulino as a pinch-hitter.
* The Marlins feel their final bullpen slot will be filled from pitchers who are in camp. Recently, Gonzalez declared Leo Nunez, Dan Meyer, Renyel Pinto, Brian Sanches, Burke Badenhop and Jose Veras as frontrunners to make the squad. That leaves one spot open. If the Marlins take another long reliever, Rick VandenHurk is an option. Otherwise, Seth McClung, Scott Strickland and Tim Wood are choices.
* The projected bench is — backup catcher, Wes Helms, Emilio Bonifacio, Brian Barden and Mike Lamb, who also has caught in his career.
* Cody Ross on Sunday was the DH in a Minor League game for the second straight day. Ross had a good day, going 2-for-4 with a double and home run. The double was off Scott Strickland in the intrasquad scrimmage. The homer was off Jeff Allison. Ross is expected to play six innings in the outfield of a Minor League game.

Meet Scott Strickland
This time, Scott Strickland said yes.
So often in the past, the 33-year-old waved no thanks to the offer. That changed when he agreed to a Minor League deal with the Marlins with an invitation to Spring Training.
Strickland, who last pitched in the big leagues in 2005 with the Mets, has been bouncing around with various Triple-A clubs the past four years. He was in the Pirates system in 2006, followed by the Padres in '07, and the Yankees in '08, and finally the Dodgers a year ago.
After being turned away so many times before, the Marlins finally landed Strickland, who broke in with the Montreal Expos in 1999. Because Marlins management previously owned the Expos, team officials have known Strickland for more than a decade.
"They've been trying to get me the last three or four years," the right-hander said. "For whatever reason, I've always gone somewhere else. Every year, they've tried to sign me, and I've always gone somewhere else. I don't know exactly why. Whether it was money, or whatever else. This year I didn't wait to compare offers. I was like, 'You know what, these guys came to me quickly like they've always done, and I'm going to sign.' "
Strickland has six years of MLB service time, and he's appeared in 236 games. In each of the past two seasons, he's made at least 50 Minor League appearances.
"I've been looking for an opportunity to come back to the big leagues," he said. "I've been to Triple-A. I've been with the Pirates, San Diego, Yankees, Dodgers and now here. I've been throwing well. It seems there has never been an opportunity."
Perhaps his luck will change with the Marlins.

Hensley agrees, four Minor Leaguers sign
The Marlins on Monday reached agreement on a Minor League deal with right-hander Clay Hensley, who was 8-4 with a 3.24 ERA at Triple-A New Orleans this year.
Additionally, the club signed four players to Minor League contracts with Spring Training invitations. Infielders Brian Barden and Donnie Murphy signed, as did right-handers Scott Strickland and Matt Peterson.
Hensley has 106 games of big league experience. His last stint in the Majors was in 2008 with the Padres. The 30-year-old right-hander opened this year with Houston's Round Rock Triple-A team, before he was picked up by the Marlins. He made 19 starts at New Orleans.
Barden, 28, appeared in 52 games for the Cardinals in 2009, and he added 61 games at Triple-A Memphis. He's seen action in 84 big league games. He can play all four infield positions. Murphy also is a versatile infielder who has played second base, shortstop and third base. The 26-year-old broke in with the Royals in 2004.
Strickland, 33, last pitched in the big leagues with Houston in 2005, and he has 236 games of experience. He spent 2009 pitching for Triple-A Albuquerque in the Dodgers' system, where he made 50 relief appearances. He had a 2.98 ERA.
Peterson is a 27-year-old who has never pitched in the big leagues. The right-hander was with Double-A Jacksonville, where he logged 56 games.

A former employee of Suarez Corporation Industries says he knew the campaign donations were illegal.
Ben Suarez faces a 10-count indictment, including charges of violating campaign finance reform. His company, Suarez Corporation Industries, is a codefendant in the trial.
Former SCI chief financial Michael Giorgio said the company reimbursed employees for contributions to U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci and Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, who was running for U.S. Senate in 2011. The campaign reimbursements were labeled as operating expenses on the company's budget.
"It was treated as if it were a bonus to these people," Giorgio said. "We treated these as bonuses because I had no idea these would ever be repaid." According to witness testimony, they were not repaid until the FBI started its investigation.
When asked why the payments were not coded as reimbursement for political contributions, Giorgio said "That's improper. That's illegal."
The former CFO also described the conversation where Saurez asked him to recruit employees to give $100,000 to Mandel's campaign. According to evidence, Mandel's campaign faxed Suarez on May 13, asking for his friends and family to donate $100,000.
"We're going to get caught and I'm telling him that," Giorgio said. While he said he was uncomfortable finding donors again, he agreed to do it because "The boss asked me."
Giorgio said the SCI employees knew he was asking for the contributions on behalf of Suarez, the company's owner.
"I called Ben and told him we got all the checks in order to make the campaign contributions."
Giorgio pleaded guilty in the case last month. If he corporates with federal prosecutors, they can recommend to the judge his sentence be reduced.

EL DORADO -- Police responded to a call around 1:30 this morning in the Roselawn, Edmonds area of El Dorado.
"During speaking with the complainant, we were advised that there were some ongoing issues that occurred earlier in the evening in another part of town," said Capt. Kevin Holt with the El Dorado Police Department.
Police say that the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the suspect, Shanitha Morgan and the victim, Nivea Smith.
"The victim and the suspect had been having an ongoing issue, a disturbance basically every time they see each other over a male subject," said Holt.
Police say this whole issue stemmed from Smith having an intimate relationship with Morgan's boyfriend.
Morgan waited for Smith to cross the street of Trinity and Edmonds, and fired 3-shots at Smith's car.
"We also were advised that there were 2 small children, under the age of 5, in the car at the time of the shooting," said Holt.
Morgan is charged with aggravated assault and with endangering the welfare of a minor.
"She was incarcerated this morning at the Union County Criminal Justice Facility and was scheduled to make a first appearance today in 35th Judicial Court," said Holt.
No one was injured in the shooting.

One third of gays and lesbians in Edinburgh physically attacked
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Its very sad to think that people still won't report to the police. There have been big changes over the last 10-15 years in the way the police interact with the LGBT community. I understand that everything is not perfect across the country, but you should be able to speak to an officer in the Public Protection Unit at your police station.
Yes we should feel confident to report attacks, physical or verbal to the police, but clearly people don't. Personally, I would have second thoughts about it myself and without wishing to offend anyone I ought to feel fully confident about the approaching the police. I'm what people call straight-looking and straight-acting and no policeman would ever think I was gay until I told him what had happened. But I've been gay-bashed nevertheless, after leaving a gay club once. I weighed it all up and given that this was in a part of London not known as particularly gay-friendly I decided just to let it go. I just couldn't be doing with trying to make some officer feel concerned that a guy had taken a swing at me and called me a queer.
take one look at the Digby thread and that URL to what they're saying at West Ham about his death if anyone has any doubts about the hostility there is towards gay men in this country even in spite of all the acts of parliament!
yes Chris P I've read some of the comments on the Westham URL thingy and was shocked and horrified. i had no idea such things could be said and on the internet for all to see. What a sad and horrible world we live in.
Sorry, folks, this is dodgy. Nobody should want to minimize the seriousness of homophobic violence and abuse, but there is nothing in this piece to justify the stark title. 'A small survey has suggested..' – What, exactly? Who were the respondents? What were they asked? Exactly how many were asked? No more detail is given regarding the wild headline. At the very least an adverb like 'possibly' needs to be in the title.
Get a grip, PN. There is more than enough anxiety about these things without stirring it up for the sake of it.
Riono, I agree, a cohort of 70 is simply not enough to justify the worrying statement "A third of LGBT people in Edinburgh have been physically assaulted but only 15 per cent reported incidents to police, a small survey has suggested".
In fact, it's extraordinary that the writer of the article did not or does not see this.
Maybe some of the people writing these articles for PinkNews have their hearts in the right place but are not too clued up on the need for analysis and intellectual discipline.
Isn't that horrifying and worrying enough? There's no
Whilst I agree with some of the above posts that there needs to be a lot more serious work done to encourage LGBT people in feeling confident and re-assurred about reporting homophobic hate crimes, I personally now feel that I would report such a crime committed against myself.
Like many others most of the abuse I've suffered has been verbal abuse and like many others, despite seething with anger about it at the time, I chose not to report it. However, I now feel that if someone commits these sorts of crimes against me, then they almost certainly have/will do the same to other LGBT people in my home city. By not reporting it, the perpetrator will feel a sense of empowerment, that they can get away with it without consequence, that homophobia is OK in 'their' city.
By reporting these crimes promptly on the other hand, even if no charges are brought against the perpetrator, it will let them know that such behaviour will not be tolerated and that they risk being in trouble with the law if they try it again with someone else. Often the fear of criminal proceedings can be enough to scare them into not repeating the behaviour because of possible consequences to their current employment, their name being published in the local paper and so on.
I live in "the oil capital of europe", so there are sadly plenty of bigots in my home city. Despite this however, I feel very re-assurred by the local LGBT liaison officers and I know that in the event of an incident, that my case would be dealt with very robustly and professionally.
Bottom line, if you don't report it, there could be another victim of LGBT hate crime as a result.
In Statistics you only need a sample size of 24 or above to make it valid. This survey has over 70 so no it's not junk, it's statistically valid.
If only 70 filled this in then 21 where physically attacked, 47 verbally attacked and 37 felt unsafe.
These figures are remarkably similar to the results of the First Out survey which found that 23% had been physically attacked and 68% who had been verbally assaulted. This dates from 2002 and had 924 replies.
8 years have passed in Scotland and fvck all has changed. Infact things have got worse.
I suppose the survey of over 300 will be written off in the same way?
george: much as I'd agree I, for one, will never report attacks to the police again.
I had someone pull a knife on me and chase me for over a mile. The police said it wasn't a serious incident and refused to take an incident report unless i gave them my 'real name' (I'm Trans.)
Likewise when i was raped the police took two week to interview my attacker.
Gays verbally abuse billions of human beings on yearly basis.
If so, why to be upset when they got backfire?
Have a good day, guys!
'Gays verbally abuse billions of human beings on yearly basis'
you know your right there and here goes another one:
you're a fvcking idiot.
theotherone, I think the point that was being made above about the small number questioned is that that sample may not have been representative. It's unlikely the survey was carried out in a safe-house where everybody had a history of being abused, but can you see the problem? For a survey to be respectable it has to provide evidence of the sampling and selection techniques used. The article doesn't simply doesn't say, or ask. Perhaps the small number, of 70, were selected very very carefully. But perhaps not.
Please don't take me wrongly. I would love for a survey to be both beyond reproach and to prove that there is a great deal of homophobia out there . . . because I personally know there is.
without knowing the nature of the survey (the questions asked, where the questionnaires where distributed, the statistical weighting) then we must reserve final judgment but the results mirror an earlier survey so I'd tend to believe them.

A Severe Thunderstorm is in effect for Warren County, northeastern Hunterdon County, Morris County and southern Sussex County.
The National Weather Service posted it after radar at 5:10 p.m. showed a line of severe thunderstorms capable of producing quarter-size hail and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. The storms were along a line moving east from Pennsylvania.
The warning is in effect until 6:30 p.m.
According to the NWS, "this is a dangerous storm. If you are in its path, prepare immediately for damaging winds, destructive hail and deadly cloud-to-ground lightning. People outside should move to a shelter, preferably inside a strong building but away from windows."
Reports of hail or wind damage can be telephoned to the NWS office in Mount Holly at 877-633-6772.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains posted until 9 p.m. And there's a Flash Flood Watch until 10 p.m. for this region. According to NWS, the showers could produce a half to 1 inch of rain, with 2-4 inches possible in some areas. That's where flooding is most likely.
The chance of showers continues Saturday, Saturday night, only slight on Saturday but increasing to 60% Sunday and Sunday night. Afternoon highs are expected to be around 88 on Saturday but closer due to 83 Sunday, due to the expected clouds.
The extended forecast says it will be mostly sunny on Monday and partly sunny on Tuesday, with highs around 80 both days.

Reds get 8-2 home stand
Some might discount the opponents but an 8-2 home stand is impressive no matter how you slice it. The Reds knocked off three struggling teams that should be beat — the Phillies, Marlins and Cubs — which will come in very handy down the road when they hit an unfavorable part of the schedule or grind.
The pitching staff had a 1.91 ERA in the 10 games. The rotation had a 1.54 ERA and nine quality starts.
Three games went to extra innings. Two of the wins were by 1-0 score — only nine have ever happened in the history of GABP.
Click here for the full game story on MLB.com.
Three stars:
No. 3 star: Jeff Samardzija, CHC, 6 ip, 7 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K. Samardzija took a Shin-Soo Choo comebacker off of his hand and pitched with it bleeding. Other than one mistake to Todd Frazier, he was really good.
"We kind of knew coming in facing Samardzija and with Mat pitching, that runs would be scarce today," shortstop Zack Cozart said. "And they both pitched well. Mat was lights out. When a guy is like that, as the hitters here, we want to score runs for him just to make it easier. We didn't obviously and he kept us in it."
No. 2 star: Mat Latos, 7 ip, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 103 pitches/65 strikes. He survived being hit on the right foot by a comebacker in the first inning and did well without any secondary pitches in his bag of tricks.
"I didn't have anything today," Latos said. "I had a four-seamer and a two-seamer, was all I had today. It was tough. Everybody in the big leagues can hit a fastball. It was just a matter of hitting my spots and being able to make key pitches when I needed to."
Through 5 starts, Latos is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA. He has 11-straight scoreless innings. Not bad for a dude who had a terrible track record for April (5.97 ERA last season, a 2-8 record with a 5.73 ERA lifetime entering 2013)
"I've pitched a lot better than what's been shown over the last couple of Aprils," Latos said. "I'm real pleased with it. I've got one more start to finish up the month strong."
No. 1 star: Todd Frazier, 1-for-2, HR — Frazier was not cheated for his one run that proved the distance. The estimated distance was 480 feet as the ball kissed off of the riverboat in center field. It was the seventh-longest shot in the history of GABP. The last Reds player to homer in a 1-0 victory was Sean Casey on 8/26/04 vs. the Cardinals' Chris Carpenter. Perhaps a coincidence that both Frazier and Casey wear No. 21?
"I took a couple of steps and kind of figured it was out," Frazier said. "But I didn't really know how far until I looked up and saw it bounce off of the boat. It was pretty fun to watch."
*I remember a couple of weeks ago at St. Louis when Shin-Soo Choo made two errors in one game. Some people wanted him moved to left field, to switch with Chris Heisey. Of course that didn't happen. Choo made a nice play Wednesday to run down Anthony Rizzo's long drive to the warning track in the fourth inning.
*More great defense came from Zack Cozart, who saved the day in the eighth inning by going behind second base on a tough David DeJesus groundball up the middle and throwing him out on the run.
"Defense saves games. That was a game-saver today," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "If that ball goes up the middle, then they get two. Even if he stops it, maybe one."
*An 89-minute rain delay pushed back first pitch.

The play by Cozart up the middle on a very speedy runner was unbelieveable…he truly saved the day with his glove. Latos looked incredible; his keeping the ball low and in and out has made him a front line pitcher. Brox came in and shut em down, as did, of course, Chapman. Ladies and Gentlemen…we have a very, very good team. We need only turn up our offense a notch and I am not so sure we aren't going very far this season. A healthy Votto, Fraz over a hurt Rolen, a lead-off Choo over a very poor OBP Stubbs, Mesoraco learning the 'bigs', and the firm of 'Heisey, Hanahan and Paul' sitting pine, are very indicative of a team that has more +++ than — from last year to this season.
Now, let's just stay healthy…imagine, all this with Cueto sitting, I am truly impressed.
I don't understand how you expect them to "turn up the offense" THEY ARE SECOND IN RUNS!
My expectation is for the Reds to be more consistent at the plate. They have scored 3 R over the last 19 innings against a non-playoff team. Our team batting average is .259. If we want to contend with the likes of Atlanta and St. Louis and Washington, we had best not score 10 R one day and then 1 or 2 the next few. Heisey (.183/.205) and especially Cozart (.205/.230) need to "turn up" their offense considerably. The Reds BA w/RISP is .279; the Cards is .349. The Reds RISP w/2 outs are batting .195; the Cards are bating .375. The Cards have scored 12 R less than the Reds; 102 versus 114, yet they lead our division by 1/2 game having played one less game than we have. The next 10 of 13 games will be played against the three teams noted above; we are going to need to be more consistent at the plate.
It's called having to face tough pitching (the Cubs have among the best starters, better than the Reds at the moment)…it's called the natural rhythms of the game…it's called BASEBALL! Introduce yourself. It is a game based on the play of threes and nines, on the hard facts of loss and almost constant failure, and on inconsistency forever. It's fun!
Although Latos is pitching remarkably well, I was hoping that the Reds would go after Gio prior to the beginning of last season. I predict continued and much success for this 21 game winning lefty. Opponents hit .202 at home and .208 away against this kid last season.

Toyrus ordering system has problem. Several months ago, I ordered a bike for my kid and paid it with Paypal. Next day, I got a note from Toyrus said the order has been canceled. Then the bike showed up at my front door fews day after that. I checked Paypal and my payment to Toyrus still has not completed.
Guess what ? I got another note from Toyrus yesterday saying my order has been canceled. My Paypal payment to Toyrus still has not completed.

It is that time of year again. The time when every Major League baseball team believes they have a shot at winning the division and dreams of playing baseball in October. Well, except maybe the Pirates. So, from now until opening day, I will take you through my predictions for each division. Obviously, these aren't the most in-depth, groundbreaking predictions ever made; I am not Peter Gammons. They are however, a little preview on how this baseball season could play out. Feel free to laugh at me or agree with me, either way is fine.
Chicago Cubs (89-73) – Just for the record, I am staying away from writing about all things that involve 100 years, anniversaries, curses, goats, fate, destiny and all the other hoopla. With that being said, I believe the Cubs are better than last year, but – there are some questions marks. First things first, someone smack Lou upside the head for his refusal to take Soriano out of the leadoff spot. He says that they will "Just keep talking about this and having a little fun with it." Stop having fun with it and bat him down in the order, especially if his leg is only 75 percent or so.
Then we have the obvious, bullpen by committee. Some people hate the idea, some people love the idea, but at least Lou has had success shuffling closers in the past. Wood needs to stay healthy (I am going to Google that and see how many times that sentence has been written) but I think he will be effective as a set up man. Howry seems to be the front runner right now. We will also have to keep an eye out for Geovany Soto. While I am glad we went with the youth route, thinking Soto is going to catch 4 days out of 5 (130 games) and not suffer some sort of fatigue is ridiculous. Oh, and who is going to play center field?
Milwaukee Brewers (86-76) – Chicago fans say the Cubs won the division last year; Milwaukee fans say the Brewers choked it away. With names like Fielder, Hardy and Braun, the Brewers will be fun to watch. The starting rotation is OK, but raises many red flags, mainly regarding Ben Sheets' health and Jeff Suppan's effectiveness. As far as their bullpen is concerned, I do not think Gagne will return to stud closer form, and that is going to cause some problems. Prince will continue to make Sports Center highlights for both his home runs and his sliding ability. All I can say is here we go again.
Cincinnati Reds (83-79) – This team is very hard for me to predict because they are going to have good pitching, plenty of offense but horrible defense. The starting rotation features Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo which is scary, if they both peak at the same time. Enter Dusty Baker. I feel like I am in a flashback with a solid pitching staff and Baker at the helm. The Red pitchers better insure their arms now because under Baker's careful eye, they will pitch and pitch and pitch and pitch. You see where I am going there. The Reds need to find a way to minimize the defensive failings and let their offense and pitching shine through and see if Baker will be a fit. Stay tuned.
Houston Astros (80-82) – The Astros are a team I never feel comfortable with. You think they are out of the race, you start to relax and here they come with their late season shenanigans. There is no doubt this team will be able to hit, Berkman, Lee, Tejada, and Wiggington, that type of lineup is going to produce some runs. Will Tejada face a long suspension due to the Mitchell report? Only time will tell. Outside of Oswalt, their pitching staff is rocky. I think it will be a mix of games where the Astros score a billion runs and win and then the next night, they will give up a billion and lose. Without some sort of middle ground, I predict the a .500 season
Cardinals (76-86) – Well, they've got Albert Pujols…and, um who else do they have? Scott Rolen…nope, Jim Edmonds…nope. David Eckstein…he's not there either. Outside of Pujols, this team is full of problems. Do they have a lead of man? Troy Glaus has been injury prone the past few years and strikes out an awful lot. What's more, I think pitchers will be ready for Rick Ankiel this year. Pitching doesn't look much better. Anytime your No. 1 and No. 2 starters are out until possibly the second half of the season, you have trouble. Wainwright and Looper might be decent, but our friend Matt Clement will have to pitch like '03 form for this staff to have any success and seeing that he won't even be ready for opening day, well that might spell trouble. When it is all said and done, this will be a rebuilding year for the Cardinals and they will end up on the flip side of .500. And they will be frustrating to watch at times, causing manager Tony LaRussa to drink, oh wait…
Pirates (70-92) – I don't want to be snarly here but the Pirates just can't seem to get it right or build a team with any kind of cohesive plan in mind. With that being said, Jason Bay and Freddy Sanchez are bright spots, but if they don't find a bat to protect Bay, he is not going to see a pitch all year. Catcher Ronny Paulino has to get back to his 2006 form. What else is there to say here? Veteran players are unhappy with management's ineffectiveness and it looks like it will be another long season for the Pirates.

- PerlFAQ Server
July 11, 2007, 1:03 am
comes with the standard Perl distribution. These postings aim to
reduce the number of repeated questions as well as allow the community
to review and update the answers. The latest version of the complete
perlfaq is at http://faq.perl.org .
4.46: How do I handle linked lists?
In general, you usually don't need a linked list in Perl, since with
regular arrays, you can push and pop or shift and unshift at either end,
or you can use splice to add and/or remove arbitrary number of elements
at arbitrary points. Both pop and shift are O(1) operations on Perl's
dynamic arrays. In the absence of shifts and pops, push in general needs
to reallocate on the order every log(N) times, and unshift will need to
copy pointers each time.
If you really, really wanted, you could use structures as described in
perldsc or perltoot and do just what the algorithm book tells you to do.
For example, imagine a list node like this:
$node = {
LINK => undef,
You could walk the list this way:
print "List: ";
for ($node = $head; $node; $node = $node->) {
print $node->, " ";
print "\n";
You could add to the list this way:
my ($head, $tail);
$tail = append($head, 1); # grow a new head
for $value ( 2 .. 10 ) {
$tail = append($tail, $value);
sub append {
my($list, $value) = @_;
my $node = { VALUE => $value };
if ($list) {
$node-> = $list->;
$list-> = $node;
else {
$_[0] = $node; # replace caller's version
return $node;
But again, Perl's built-in are virtually always good enough.
The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"After a few days of search; I finally found this site and I'm excited with my invitation! The cards are easy to customize with so many designs, fonts and colors to chose from. This one caught my eye and I just received them in the mail. Right on time I must say! The paper quality is rich, the print for my photograph is beautiful and the envelopes are thick. It's everything we hoped it'd be and more. I would highly recommend getting this. It gave us an opportunity to share a little bit of who we are as a couple on the invitation as well. In my opinion, it makes it more personal and different. Different is good."
"The designer of the card was great. They reworked the spacing because my information was a lot more than the sample. They were really able to make the card feel like it was made for my wedding"
"I am so happy with these invitations! They are simple, yet beautiful and classy. I wanted to put all the information (reception and all) on one card, and I needed to make a second set in another language. The designer followed my instructions perfectly and made great suggestions to fit the text on the page. They turned out even better than expected. The paper quality (I used the shimmer paper) was excellent. I would recommend the shimmer paper. I can't say enough about the service as well. The proofs were done so quickly, the people on the phone were amazing and friendly and the package was delivered days ahead of time. The only hiccup I had was that they were unable to tell me what the customs/duties would be so I had to just keep my fingers crossed. In the end, it wasn't so expensive (about $60 for Canada). I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to any bride-to-be!"

Over the last five years as I have worked to create—and yes, enforce—sustainable sourcing policies in my job, I've been publicly called a carbon cop, the food police, something I can't print (my corporate Web browser even blocks access to the site) and, as of yesterday morning, an "eco-Nazi." Most of my critics don't know me and some of them don't know what I do. It's a good thing I don't take name-calling personally!
A blogger thought yelling was an inappropriate reaction when I learned that one of our chefs posted a bluefin tuna recipe. (Yelling is bad, but calling someone an eco-Nazi isn't?) Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm not quiet and I'm going to let you know what I think. But there's a method to my (loud-mouthed) madness. Read more

Google CEO Meets With LG, Samsung; Talks Secret Deals
Jason Mick
May 3, 2013 11:26 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Nexus TV, Glasses, and Nexus 5 may be on the menu for LG and Google
The Korea Times
is reporting
that Google Inc.'s (
) new CEO Larry Page flew to South Korea last week to meet with top executives at the world's largest and third largest phonemakers -- Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and LG Electronics, Inc. (
) (respectively). Both South Korean-based firms are key proponents of the Android platform.
I. Google Meets With LG, Samsung
Mr. Page's meeting with Samsung's vice chairman Lee Jay-yong, a son of owner Lee Kun-hee, was more casual with the pair appearing in public and Mr. Lee putting his hand on Mr. Page's shoulder in a friendly gesture. Two other Samsung executives -- Samsung Corporate Strategy Office head Choi Gee-sung and mobile division chief Shin Jong-kyun were pictured at the outing.
The world's largest smartphone maker is a challenging puzzle for Google. Recent reports indicate that Google is
nervous about Samsung's size
allowing it to try to force Google to abandon its position as a non-biased third-party platform provider. At the same time Google is well aware that Samsung is working on a
new Linux-based smartphone OS -- Tizen
-- with Intel Corp. (
). Thus Google must tread cautiously.

But ultimately the problem may be fixing itself, via Google's other host on the visit -- LG.
LG Electronics started the smartphone wars sluggishly, which
led to the ouster of then-CEO Nam Yong
. The gadgetmaker refreshed its management, installing Koo Bon-Joon as its new CEO. Under Mr. Koo's leadership the phonemaker began to recover, with the smartphone unit
first returning to profitability in 2011
. LG has since quietly become a power player in the Android market. And with LG emerging as a strong second-place Android phonemaker, Samsung's potential leverage over Google may naturally erode.
report cites sources as saying, "Larry Page invited Koo for a meeting while he stayed in Seoul last week. They discussed ways to improve their business partnership. The meeting lasted for more than an hour."
II. LG and Google Rumored to be Working on Glasses, Nexus TV, and Nexus 5
Multiple sources have all but confirmed that LG is working to make the next generation Google-branded Nexus smartphone, following the success of its Nexus 4. The high-end smartphone is
rumored to be codenamed "Megalodon"
and pack a 5-inch 1080p OLED screen. It will reportedly
launch at Google I/O
later this month. LG is also working on
an Android smartphone with a flexible display
for the holiday season.
Google Glass
is another key joint effort between LG and Google. LG does not make the current dev-model Glass devices, however, it is expected to release future devices of this form factor, driven by Google technology. Both companies are working on both the hardware and software side
to mature the project
. LG last week received a new patent
U.S. Patent No. 8,427,396
which covers a "Head mounted display and method of outputting a content using the same in which the same identical content is displayed."
LG's new wearable display patent [Image Source: USPTO]
LG's new technology could offer improved augmented reality displays for Google Glass, such as overlaid text message readouts or turn-by-turn directions.
While Samsung insists on developing its own proprietary software for its SmartTVs, LG
completed in 2012 a deal to adopt Google TV
. It only launched two models in 2012, but this year it's looking to expand the mix of Google TV's in its lineup, which primarily features SmartTVs with a
proprietary OS
. LG is trying to figure out how best to balance Google TV,
its recent purchase webOS
, and its older proprietary OS in its line.
Google's TV OS has struggled, but the company
doggedly continues to pursue it
, expecting this to emerge as a key market. Reportedly Google may look to pair with LG to do a special "
Nexus TV
" OLED set,
beating rival Apple
, Inc. (
) to the market with a flagship model.
LG is second place in the LCD TV market, currently, trailing Samsung,
according to
Display Search
's March 2013 numbers. But LG is expected to see gains as the first major manufacturer to
release a large form factor OLED TV
. It also released an
eye-catching curved 55-inch OLED design
, which is currently on sale for roughly ~$13,000 USD and only available in South Korea (for now).
The Korean Times
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

Think ink or stink ink? Disney's (NYSE: DIS ) latest animated feature film, Home on the Range, is off to a lousy start. The company that pioneered full-length animation saw its latest generate just $14 million at the box office over its opening weekend. To put that in dud perspective, that's not much more than the $12.1 million Treasure Planet mustered in its 2002 debut on the way to producing a pathetic $38.2 million domestic total.
Remember when Disney's golden animated features drew huge crowds and rave reviews? This latest entry didn't even contend for a medal this weekend, coming in fourth against more popular releases by rivals Sony (NYSE: SNE ) , MGM (NYSE: MGM ) , and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) .
This may be Disney's last stand in hand-drawn animation. After watching Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation Pixar (Nasdaq: PIXR ) hit it out of the ballpark with computer-rendered enhancements, Disney has been slowly dismantling its animation division and partnering with upstart computer animation specialists in hopes of landing the next Pixar.
But that could be a huge mistake. Blaming the medium instead of the messenger is akin to blaming your tailor because you gained a few pounds. You simply can't make a blanket statement that hand-drawn animation is dead and that computerized renderings are the way of the future.
Ten years ago, Disney released The Return of Jafar direct to video. The company bragged that it was more profitable than its blockbuster live action flick, Pretty Woman. I would argue that it has proven far more costly. Realizing that folks were willing to buy an inferior Aladdin sequel, Disney went on to milk its classics with hollow, cut-rate follow-ups. It diluted the perceived quality of the originals by stuffing the distribution channels for the sake of churn.
Would Finding Nemo have bombed if it were hand-drawn? I doubt it. Would Home on the Range have been a box-office blockbuster if the barnyard critters were dolled up on high-end Silicon Graphics (NYSE: SGI ) machines? Nope.
There are plenty of computer-animated television shows out there, but the favorites are hand-drawn, like SpongeBob and Rugrats. It's not the format. It's not pixels versus inkblots. It's the story. In the end, Disney's franchise and the animation medium may have been sullied and diluted, but like its own classics, it was by the stroke of Disney's own hand.
Did you see Home on the Range? Do you think that hand-drawn animation has become obsolete? What will the company do once Pixar goes away come 2006? All this and more -- in the Disney discussion board. Only on Fool.com.
Longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz owns shares in Disney and Pixar. He's not bad, he's just overdrawn that way.

Boys' Soccer: Wheeling Park 8, Brooke 0
WELLSBURG – Nick Nestor scored a pair of goals and Zach Vanhorn, Grant Robertson, Landon Irwin, Zach Marra, Nate Mauck, and Carson Bauer added single goals as Wheeling Park walloped Brooke.
Vanhorn, Marra, Stanley Czahoroski, Jacob Clapp, and Eric Bonar all collected assists for the Patriots (7-1-2).
Park keepers Ryan Seidewitz and James Miller combined on the shutout.
Goalkeeper Chris Beaman wound up with seven saves for Brooke (0-5).

OMFG one'a Roy's new taunts is a reference to his Sword of Seals attack animation from FF6. Looks like his beginning-of-the-match entrance is also a reference to how he unsheaths the Sword of Seals in said attack animation as well. gj pmbr <3
Now, I'm not entirely sure if Roy's "angled" Blazer is done by usin' a wavedash's momentum, or Turbo Mode's move-canceling shenanigans. Hell, maybe it can just-plain be done without any prior inputs. Would definitely make Blazer a far more integrate-able combo finisher.
Also, I'm very confident Roy's recovery, KO power, and spacing tools (bar dash dancing) won't be as great as Ike's. Ike also doesn't have t' worry about tippers. Oh, and Quick Draw.

Several east-side trails enter the Mount Hood Wilderness Area, where hikers head for solitude, including the Elk Meadows Trail.
Trail log: One of Mount Hood's classic hikes is the loop around Elk Meadows, continuing with an uphill jaunt to spectacular views from Gnarl Ridge.
Begin at the Clark Creek Sno-Park off Oregon 35. Follow the Elk Meadows Trail along Clark Creek for one mile to the wilderness boundary. Get a self-issuing permit, then head east for two miles to spongy Elk Meadows. Walk the meadows' perimeter loop and grassy fields, then head northwest on the Gnarl Ridge Trail to its junction with the Timberline Trail. Hike 1.8 miles north for views at the 7,000-foot level of Gnarl Ridge, then retrace your steps to the Gnarl Ridge Trail junction.
Continue past the junction on the Timberline Trail for 1.1 miles to the Newton Trail. Turn left, head downhill for 1.8 miles to the Elk Meadows Trail. Turn right on the Elk Meadows Trail to reach the parking lot.
The Clark Creek crossing is on a log bridge, but you will need to scramble across Newton Creek twice, either on boulders or by fording. This can be dangerous during times of high water. Bring a pair of sandals. Orange ribbons and small rock piles called cairns mark the way to the best creek crossings, which change each year. The crossing is safest from late summer through fall, early in the morning.
Getting there: Drive to the junction of U.S. 26 and Oregon 35 on the southeast side of Mount Hood. Take the Oregon 35 turnoff, signed for Mt. Hood Meadows ski area, and drive 9.6 miles to the Clark Creek Sno-Park on the west side of the highway. The Elk Meadows Trail is at the north end of the parking loop. Clark Creek is 36.5 miles south of Hood River on Oregon 35.
Details: $5 Northwest Forest Pass. Hikers only; horses are not allowed on the Timberline Trail (the terrain is too rugged) and bikes are prohibited from wilderness areas. Rated very difficult to Gnarl Ridge, moderate to Elk Meadows.
Three miles one way to Elk Meadows, about 13 miles round trip to the viewpoint on Gnarl Ridge; 2,750-foot gain to the 7,000-foot level on Gnarl Ridge, or 1,000-foot gain to Elk Meadows. Best July through fall. Look for backpack campsites in the trees at the east edge of Elk Meadows. Robinhood and Sherwood national forest campgrounds are a few miles north of Clark Creek on Oregon 35.
Easier options: If you're looking for easy hiking, you're not going to find it in this part of the Mount Hood Wilderness Area. Instead, drive to a nearby trailhead for a four-mile loop around Hood River Meadows outside the wilderness boundary. This trail features views of Umbrella and Sahalie falls. To begin the hike, drive on Oregon 35 to the turnoff for the satellite parking area for Mt. Hood Meadows. Drive a half-mile to the trailhead on the right.
Map: Mount Hood Wilderness by Geo-Graphics, $6.95. Also, get one at mthood.info.

Surface preparation and painting work is scheduled to begin next week on the nine deck trusses of the New Jersey approaches to the Walt Whitman Bridge.
Workers will be in a special containment system as they remove the existing lead paint from the deck trusses.
This is the second phase of the de-leading and painting project on the Walt Whitman Bridge. The first phase involved the approaches on the Pennsylvania side of the river. Future phases will involve the towers and the bridge span itself.
According to DRPA CEO, John J. Matheussen, "This project is virtually identical to what's taking place now on the Philadelphia side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. We want to make sure the public is informed of what's taking place every step of the way."
DRPA Chief Engineer, Bill Books, says "This project will provide the proper level of corrosion protection to extend the life of the structure."
The project is scheduled to be completed in just about a year at a cost of over $10-million.

In 1986, the accelerator group at the University of North Texas received a Texas Advanced Technology Research Grant. A National Electrostatics Corporation Model 9-SDH 3 million volt tandem pelletron-type accelerator , that is the foundation of the accelerator-based characterization techniques, was purchased and installed in December 1987. UNT also provided funds to construct an addition to the Ion Beam Modification and Analysis Laboratory (IBMAL) to house the andem accelerator.
The Cockcroft-Walton accelerator and one of the 2.5 MV Van de Graaff's are located in a 78 square meter laboratory while the other three accelerators are located in a 450 square meter laboratory. The 200 kV Cockcroft-Walton accelerator is being prepared for surface analysis measurements of materials by sputter initiated resonance ionization spectroscopy (SIRIS). The 3 MV tandem accelerator, which is the workhorse of the laboratory, was purchased with an rf charge exchange ion source (alphatross) and a Cs sputter-type ion source (SNICS).
A third, ultra-clean, microbeam, raster-scanning, depth-profiling, Cs-sputtering ion source has been constructed for the 3 MV tandem accelerator for Trace Element Accelerator Mass Spectroscopy (TEAMS). TEAMS is presently used to determine impurities in materials at parts per billion (ppb) by depth profiling techniques. TEAMS has better sensitivities than Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) for many elements. TEAMS removes molecular interferences, which is the main disadvantage of SIMS, by breaking up the molecules through electron stripping in the terminal of the tandem accelerator.
One of the 2.5 MV accelerators is used for routine PIXE, RBS, and NRA and for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate student laboratory experiments. The other 2.5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator is used for NRA for dating of geological samples. The 200 kV ion implanter is being configured so that the implanter ion beam may be injected into the same target chamber and/or end station as the ion beam from the 3 MV tandem accelerator in order to be able to implant into the same sample over a wide range of ion energies from 20 keV to 15 MeV.
At the present time, capital expenditures in the IBMAL total about $7,500,000. Yearly maintenance and operating expenses are approximately $300,000 and includes student and post doctoral stipends and faculty Summer salaries. Laboratory personnel, which include four full time professors, a number of adjunct and visiting professors, four post doctoral research associates, a number of industrial research associates, and ten graduate student research assistants, total over 25 people.
The industrial interactions with the IBMAL, which were begun in the late 1970's, have continued to increase dramatically over the past few years. One of the reasons for the close interactions with industry has been the International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry, which is held at UNT in November in even numbered years. In addition, an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center was formed in 1990 to foster interactions with industry and the transfer of technology to industry. The UNT Center has recently joined with the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas A&M University Center for Electronic Materials, Devices and Systems.
The Ion Beam Modification and Analysis Laboratory research programs are supported by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Robert A. Welch Foundation, the University of North Texas, the State of Texas Advanced Research Programs, and a number industrial sponsors.
