The Motley Crew: Monastic Lives by Benet Tvedten
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A nice little read packed with history of Benedictine forefathers and a little insight from the author as well. I enjoyed it but then i like the subject a lot.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0814631770, Paperback)In this latest collection of portraits and reflections on the monastic life, Brother Benet Tvedten has gathered together a motley crew indeed. Inside this book you'll encounter the stories, both legend and history, of ancestors and contemporary monastics, the saints and the laypeople who contributed to this movement over the centuries. They struggle with obedience: Maurus jumps into the lake. They perform miracles: Scholastica prays up a storm to keep her brother by her side. They venture forth to serve as missionaries in the American wilderness of the Dakota territories, always with St. Benedict as their guide. The Motley Crew is a lively history in which you'll follow the rise and fall of monastic life in Europe and the United States, with its ongoing conflicts between obedience to the Rule and the human desires for a life of comfort and ease. This collection of saints, so far from living in the "state of perfection" attributed to the monastic life by the church, reflects the truly human and holy nature to which we all aspire.

Mankind discovered mother-of-pearl thousands of years ago, as a result of admiration for beauty. There is proof indicating the use of mother-of-pearl as an ornament, as a decorative object in Ancient Egypt. Distinctive examples of mother-of-pearl trimmings were found in Sumerian graves in Mesopotamia. Mother-of-pearl craftsmen created countless pieces in Ancient China and India cultivating the pearls themselves for centuries. Mother-of-pearl was embraced by Turks during the reign of Ottoman State. This material had been used extensively in classical Ottoman pieces of art since the 15th century. It can be said that mother-of-pearl has shown major importance in Turkish-Ottoman art in its commonest and most developed form. While mother-of-pearl inlaying was associated with Anatolian wood art, Kündekari in Turkish, at the beginning, it later became an art in itself.

text: I have a tivo series 3 (original series 3) with the stock HD in it, which seems to have failed. I had previously backed it up and tried putting in 1 TB drive, which I was able to do successfully a few months ago, but ended up switching back to the original drive as the 1TB drive was too loud. I have since returned that 1TB drive. Now, my stock hard drive is dead - the TiVo kept giving me green screens saying their was a problem and it was trying to fix itself, and now it won't boot past Welcome - Powering Up. So, I'm trying to use my backup image and try a new hard drive to see if this is the problem. However, I can't seem to get winmfs to recognize the new drive. My setup is as follows: -Macbook Pro booted in Windows 7 in bootcamp -USB to SATA adapter -Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA hard drive (Also tried a WD Green 500GB SATA) I open winmfs as administrator but am not able to see the drive to mount it and restore my backup. However, I am able to see in the control panel that the drive is attached and recognized by the computer. If I boot back into Mac OS X, the drive is seen (but unformatted). This is the case for both of the blank drives I tried. Strangely, when I connect my nearly dead TiVo stock hard drive (a WD 250gb) it is still recognized by Winmfs (but unable to backup again as the HD is corrupt). Any thoughts on why I can't get the new drive to mount? I have tried rebooting numerous times, checking "Show Mounted Drive" and nothing seems to help. I appreciate any tips - I'm hoping to rescue my TiVo soon! Thanks

"By any objective criteria that you choose, the Big East has been, is today, and will continue to be one of the top conferences in the nation."
Big East senior associate commissioner Nick Carparelli made that remark while addressing reporters at the start of the league's annual media day on Tuesday in Newport, RI. I've known Nick for nearly 20 years and told him afterward that I thought he did a good job of making the case to the league's critics that the Big East isn't dead yet.
"I hope the tone was a little more positive than that," said Carparelli with a smile. "Hopefully, that statement is obvious. I think the intent was to cause everybody to take a deep breath on some issues because there's a lot more work to be done, but on other issues, maybe the perception is not the reality. It's our job to change that and today was the start."
"The perception has been false out there," said UC head coach Butch Jones. "All you have to do is look at the facts. Since the modern day BCS era, we are the all-time winningest conference in terms of bowl records. We're 7-7 in BCS bowl games. If you look at the product on the field and our body of work, I think it speaks for itself."
In the last year, Syracuse, Pitt, and West Virginia have decided to leave the Big East, and TCU reversed plans to join. That forced the Big East to reinvent itself as a coast-to-coast league with the addition of Temple this year, Boise State, Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, San Diego State, and SMU in 2013, and Navy (and perhaps another school) in 2015. That will allow the Big East to split into divisions and begin holding a league championship game next year at the home venue of the highest-ranked division winner.
"We've always been different and we've made it work to this point," said Carparelli. "Realignment is not new to the Big East and I think you could argue that with every realignment that we've gone through, in some way or another we've been better."
The Big East's future stability will largely be determined by its next television contract. On September 1st, the league will enter an exclusive 60-day window to negotiate with current media partner ESPN. If ESPN and the Big East cannot reach a deal, Comcast/NBC and Fox figure to have interest.
"It's all about inventory and quality of inventory," said Carparelli. "The fact that we can play games in four time zones at any time of day gives our television partners a lot more options to capitalize on their investment in us."
The total dollar amount of a new TV deal will obviously be important to the league's future, but the Big East is also looking for a partner that will showcase its product.
"Everybody knows the financial challenges that athletic departments have, but at the same time, if this league is going to grow, we need a television partner who is going to embrace us and give us great exposure at the right times and brand us in the right way," said Carparelli.
Another critical issue that has to be resolved is landing a bowl deal for the Big East champion beginning in 2014 when a 4-team national championship playoff begins. For the next two years the league champ is still guaranteed a spot in a prestigious BCS bowl, but with no deal in place beyond that, the Big East is considering a variety of options including starting a new bowl game for its champion.
"We are barely three months into a process that won't go into effect until two-and-a-half years from now," said Carparelli. "It is premature to evaluate our position in the 2014 postseason today when major details of the new format have not been decided.
"Let's see how these things play out and evaluate it when it's done and I'm confident that we're going to be in great shape."
Admittedly, it was Nick Carparelli's job on Tuesday to put a positive spin on the state of the Big East. It's a job that would get much easier if the wild game of "conference musical chairs" slows down.
"I think change is constant in intercollegiate
athletics, but you go through peaks and valleys and I really get the sense that
nationally with the new postseason system taking shape, with most conferences
having TV contracts that they're pleased with, I really sense that we're at a
point in time where people are going to pause a little bit before they start
shaking things up again," said Carparelli.
"I know that we're not going anywhere. We lost some schools, but we gained three times as many as we lost and those schools feel pretty good about being here."

Heating water in boiler year-round
On my plumber's advice and setting, the water in my oil-fired boiler is heated to a constant 120 or 140 year-round. HIs rational for thiis is his belief that the the seals are more prone to failure with heating and cooling cycles, especilaly after a summer long idle period. Currently, I have water from my boiler circulatint through my indirect fired water heater throughout the year anyway. He also says it is preferable to keep the water in the boiler heated to ensure there in hot water when the water tank calls for it.
I have a lot of faith in his judgement, but am wondering what others think. It would be nice to be able to eliminate some of this heating given the cost of oil if it really is overkill.
We shut our boiler off every year
Its already been off for a couple weeks now
Waste of $$ to run it in the summer
Our Oil guy does the tune-ups, never had any problems
Our boiler is over 22 years old now, due for replacement soon
Are you saying the boiler heats your hot water for household use ?
Some boilers are really designed to be maintained at operating temperature while others are not. For example, modern so called low mass boilers have much smaller water capacities and are equiped with controls that only will fire the boiler when there is demand for heat.
I would be inclined to go with the advice of the person you count on to maintain the equipment--or be prepared to find someone else if you decide not to follow his advice.
I want to hear from BEENTHERE--He has a wealth of boiler knowledge.
I shut mine down is the early spring and don't fire it up again till is so cold outside that my wood burner can't keep the house warm.--I'm cheap--what can I say?----Mike---(boiler was installed 1988)
I'm thinking about shutting off the boiler thermostat and saving some fuel. The indirect hot water heater turns it on periodically anyway. Part of the reason he recommended it was that the seals with my old Weil-McLaine were leaking slowly in the off season and them would quit once it was fired up.
It depends a lot on the type, age and condition of the boiler. Some boilers have their sections held together with press nipples (tapered steel nipples) while others use rubber or neoprene O ring type gaskets between the sections. In either case, shutting the boiler down does not "dry" the seals out because the boiler is still full of water. In a press nipple boiler what can happen is that as the boiler cools, it contracts and that contraction may be enough to cause the press nipples to leak (especially at the base of the boiler) The same thing can happen with O ring seal boilers also but it is not as common. The thing to do is to go ahead and shut it down for a few days and see if you get a wet spot on the floor. If you do then rather than run the boiler year round and wasting money, I would ( if the boiler is less than 10 years old) have the draw bolts tightened up and or the seals replaced. If it's older than that, it's time to scrap it out anyway. I almost hate recommending this but boiler sealer will often take care of the problem also. However, directions need to be followed and if it don't work the first can, it ain't gonna work at all so don't keep pumping cans of the stuff in there.
Thought I would bump this up to see if I could get some new opinions on this since it is still a question on my mind. Mine is a Weil McLein cast iron boiler and was new in 2003. It also heats the water tank- indirect so I really don't think the internal water temp ion the boiler needs to be kept hot all the time.
I moved this to HVAC for you---Beenthere is where??
Most boilers don't need to be kept hot/warm year round. Minor exceptions are those that are over sized so much they take too long to heat back up and cool the indirect down instead of heating it.
Most of the indirect systems I put in. Have the boiler set up as a cold start.
If your indirect is set up as a priority zone, set your boiler up to cold start.
I think I'm going to change that after I ask about the setup. Oil is just too much money.

Will 2014 Headlights fit in 2011-2013 WK2?
Still on the fence on trading up to the 2014 model. One thing I really like is the new Headlight design.
Just looking at the pictures it looks like the overall shape of the headlights are the same, and on the Larado models it looks like they come standard with the same headlights that are in the 2011-2013 WK2's.
That being said will the new headlights fit on the old model? If this had been answered already I apologize I have not come across that post/thread.
Re: Will 2014 Headlights fit in 2011-2013 WK2?
From this angle it looks like they fit perfect. :rolleyes:
Re: Will 2014 Headlights fit in 2011-2013 WK2?
Haha, yea, i probably wouldnt have even asked if I didnt see the stock headlights for the 2014 Laredo which look exactly the same as the current model with halogen lights; no LED, No HID, No non functioning black headlight washer piece.
Re: Will 2014 Headlights fit in 2011-2013 WK2?
any new input on this?? i see so many unanswered questions on this forum, it would be nice to know this!!! br!

Donkey pulmonary fibrosis (DPF) is a spontaneous syndrome of aged donkeys with a high prevalence (35%). No previous detailed characterization of DPF has been performed. We sought to determine the similarities between DPF and recognized patterns of human pulmonary fibrosis.
Whole lungs were collected from 32 aged donkeys at routine necropsy. Gross examination revealed pulmonary fibrosis in 19 donkeys (DPF cases), whereas 13 (control cases) had grossly normal lungs. Eighteen whole inflated ex vivo lungs (11 DPF cases, seven control cases) were imaged with high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan, whereas the remainder were sectioned and photographed. Tissue samples were collected from all lungs for histopathologic evaluation using a standardized protocol. HRCT images and histology sections underwent independent blinded review. Lung tissue was analyzed for herpes virus, fungal hyphae, mycobacteria, and dust content.
Ten of 19 DPF lungs were categorized as being consistent with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) according to previously defined histologic and imaging criteria. All 10 PPFE-like lungs had marked pleural and subpleural fibrosis, predominantly within the upper lung zone, with accompanying intraalveolar fibrosis and elastosis. Asinine herpesvirus was ubiquitously expressed within control and DPF lung tissue. No other etiologic agents were identified.
Many cases of DPF share key pathologic and imaging features with human PPFE, a rare interstitial pneumonia. Consequently, further study of DPF may help to elucidate the etiopathogenesis of human PPFE.

- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 turkey drumsticks (about 14 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 3 cups turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup pitted prunes (6 ounces)
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1 cup white pearl onions (1/4 pound)
Preheat the oven to 325°. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add 2 of the turkey drumsticks to the casserole, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 8 minutes; transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to moderate and repeat with the remaining 2 drumsticks and salt and pepper. Discard the fat.
Add the wine to the casserole and cook, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom, until it has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Tie the thyme and rosemary into a bundle and add to the casserole along with the drumsticks and stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in the oven for 1 1/2 hours, turning the drumsticks occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, soak the prunes in the brandy until plump, about 30 minutes. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly. Trim the root ends of the onions and slip off the skins. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet. Add the pearl onions and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the onions, prunes and any remaining brandy to the casserole. Cover and braise for 1 hour longer, or until the turkey drumsticks are tender.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turkey, prunes and pearl onions to a platter. Discard the herb bundle. Skim the fat off the cooking liquid, then simmer the liquid over moderate heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Return the turkey, prunes and onions to the casserole, simmer until hot and serve. Discard the turkey skin before eating.

Seal Beach is facing its 95th anniversary as an Orange County city.
As one of the oldest cities in the county, it also has one of the richest histories, from its days as a tent city created by a former Civil War officer to its days as one of the places where the sport of surfing had its birth, to the Prohibition era rum runners, gambling and brothels ... and finally to its becoming one of the most sought after towns in which to raise a family.
Although not all of Seal Beach's history is pretty, residents in the seaside city, now known affectionately as "Mayberry By The Sea," love to call it home for its nostalgia as well as its current value as a place to live life on one's own terms.
As the weeks build up to the initial Founders Day events, the Sun Newspapers, with the help of local residents, will provide a glimpse into Seal Beach's past to help our readers understand the signifance of the celebrations that are being planned for October.
The Sun Newspapers would also like to invite others to get on board and give their perspective on the history of Seal Beach in articles and/or opinion or feature stories.
The Sun is also seeking historical photographs of many types to help give more of a view to our readers of the history of the town.
Those who are interested may contact editor Dennis Kaiser by e-mail at email@example.com.
The Founders Day 2010 adventure begins:
During August and September A Taste of Seal Beach punch cards will be sold for $20, value $200, to use during the month of October during our countdown to Oct. 27.
Saturday, Oct. 2, A Dinner/Dance will be the first activity while leading up to the big day of Oct. 27, when the incorporation of Seal Beach became official 95 years ago. It will be held at Old Ranch Country Club 3001 Lampson Ave., at 6 p.m. Featuring music by The Emperors: Southern California's Premier Classic Rock. $75 advance ticket sales may be purchased by calling Gwen: 562 598-9044. Costumes from your favorite era are optional. Proceeds benefit "Save Our Pool" fund.
Wednesday, Oct. 6, Tennis mixer at Seal Beach Tennis Center on Lampson.
Thursday, Oct. 7, Golf tournament at Bixby Village Golf Course, tee time, 1 p.m. with dinner, awards and prizes at 5 p.m., Seal Beach Senior Center. For more information, call 562 598-9294 .
Saturday, Oct. 9, concert by the pier provided by the Chamber of Commerce during the Main St. sidewalk sale.
Sunday, Oct. 10, a parade that will take us back in time on the green belt in the center of old town that will be The Joy Zone for one day. Visitors rode a roller coaster called The Derby in 1915 in The Joy Zone and watched scintillator lights at the end of the pier.
There will be bands on two stages with rotating groups playing a variety of selections. Come join us for a parade, rides, food booths, and music. If you would like to participate in The Joy Zone with a booth, a band, or a stage presentation, call (431) 3466, or 430-6490 430-0595.
The Red Car Museum will be open on Festival Day allowing Founders Day celebrants a Time to Remember. Imagine, stepping out of the Red Car into The Joy Zone once more.
Shirt sales will continue Saturday and Sunday at the pier, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Wear your shirt and meet me on the Joy Zone.
Wednesday, Oct. 27, the actual incorporation date, a sideshow of selected historic photos most of which have never seen. The show will be presented at the Marina Community Center from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. Details and updates will follow.

I carry 230 hard cast double tapp for the woods and there 180JHP nosler bullets for the every day.
This is a discussion on 10mm Self Defense Ammo ( what do you carry?) within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I myself carry the winchester 170gr silvertip in my stainless target 2( gotta love how thin a 1911 is ), the ammo shoots nice not ...
I myself carry the winchester 170gr silvertip in my stainless target 2( gotta love how thin a 1911 is ), the ammo shoots nice not a bad recoil. Its been a while since I looked to see if there are any newer or better offerings for the 10mm in a self defense round to be used in an urban areas, where sometimes I wonder/worry if the 170gr will be a liability issue for over penetration. When I go out walking thru the woods I tend to carry buffalo bore 220 gr. Hard Cast - FN (1,200 fps/ME 703 ft. lbs.) where the penetration ( I have shot the norma stuff & I even have a trophy box on my shelf) is more needed incase I happen across some type of 4-legged friend. Like I said I was just wondering if there was anything better out there today I should be considering......

I am currently carrying 155grn SilverTips that I handloaded to around 1400fps. I'm also wanting to try some 135grn Noslers.
I use Swamp Fox or Underwood 180g JHP from about 1340 to 1400 FPS depending on which gun I am using I have a G29SF, a Colt Delta Elite and a few 10 series Smith's.. Swampfox is out of business because the owner passed away but Underwood is potent as well.

I'm noticing that everyone seems to like the heavier bullets, is there any reason for that?
The below is a link to you tube showing a 170gr pmc hp hitting some gel, pretty interesting to see in slow motion.
Do you think a double tap 135gr hp would do anything close to this? Like I mentioned I'm a little concerned about
over penetrating... that being said I don't want to go to a hydro-shock( not knocking the bullet design) because ballistics are pretty much a 40 s&w I want to stick to a "true" 10mm load & compensate over penetration by reducing bullet weight... do you think the over penetration is really something I should be concerned with? Should I maybe go with a corbon 150gr, so as I'm not too lite in the bullet weight?

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: ThetribeSparganothiniincludesavarietyofsmallmothswhoselarvaeare pests of crops (e.g., bell pepper, avocado, cotton, corn). Identification and subsequent communication is hindered by the fact that many species in the tribe are undescribed (not named) and relationships among most species and genera are unknown. This paper describes a new species in the genus Coelostathma and discusses a character that may be of significant value in identifying relationships among members of the tribe. Knowledge of relationships provides a predictive value in terms of life histories, includingthepropensityofcertainspeciestoattackcertaingroupsof plants. This information will be useful to researchers and quarantine officers charged with detection of potential pests to U.S. agriculture.
Technical Abstract: The entomofauna of Cocos Island, Costa Rica, includes nearly 100 species of Lepidoptera, among which are 13 species of Tortricidae, most of which are endemic. One of these, Coelostathma insularis, new species, is described and illustrated. The new species is most similar to C. binotata (Walsingham) from Mexico among described species. A lectotype is designated for C. binotata. Although abdominal dorsal pits are shared by Coelostathma Clemens, Amorbia Clemens, Aesicopa Zeller, and Sparganopseustis Powell and Lambert, other morphological features do not suggest a close phylogenetic relationship among these genera within Sparganothini.

How bad are unencapsulated knee walls?
I had very expensive energy bills last year, so I'm been trying to seal-insulate my house this year. One problem I encounter is unencapsulated knee walls. I thought about covering these knee walls, but there are lots of obstacles. First some of them are in tight spots and are hard to reach. Then there are others that have wires running across studs. A water heater also blocks access to a section. The loose-fill insulation also makes it hard to work on these walls. I can still try my best to cover as much as I can, but it's going to be a lot of work. These knee walls are covered by batt insulation though.
There is also a wall cavity with three sides of it being exterior walls, and one side of it not covered by any sheathing. The cavity is in a tight spot and hard to get down to do any work.
My question is: are these big enough problem that worth the effort to correct them? As far as air leak is concerned, I think I can still work on the inside and seal the interior wall as much as I can. But then there is also convection loss. Will this be a big issue? As I mentioned, there are insulation on these walls. Can it at least prevent convection to some degree?

A history of ECT.

Hi Shrink,
I also read this book, but I am not all positive. I am writing my thesis on the history of brain stimulation in psychiatry.
Shorter for instance is really convinced that ECT has been and is a good therapy and he thinks that it is incredible that a therapy of such importance could have been kicked aside for such trivial reasons as its image in a film (Shorter, 298). The book does not convince me that it was really Kesey's movie that almost put on end to ECT.

Hi Jan,
thank you for visiting the blog. I don't know if I understand you well, but it seems that you, as opposed to Shorter, are not convinced that ECT has been and is a good therapy? My understanding from the literature is that no other treatment comes near to the effects of ECT. The only promising therapy that is out there and is probably able to yield comparable results is MST (but then again, the only differnce between the 2 treatments is the way the seizures are elicited). That brings us to the point of the history of ECT: its history is not the history of the use of electricity in medicine, but of the use of convulsions (before ECT von Meduna had invented pharamacological convulsive therapy). I am also not convinced that it was the movie only that (temporarily) put ECT aside, but I am sure that its influence was all but trivial. I do believe thjat the film had more influence than e.g. the era of psychopharmacology.
Best regards,
Pascal Sienaert

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Question same as the topic. Can a General Practitioner refuse to treat a patient who is actually showing signs of illness based on vital signs?
Unless the patient is in imminent danger, yes.
Without more facts, the answer is yes since slavery was abolished by the 16th amendment.
Wow, you're hilarious. Just to get this straight, please correct me if I'm wrong, they cannot deny you care then in the Emergency Room, but they can in any other case.
Essentially - IF you arrive in the ER dangerously close to death and too unstable to transfer.
Yes, a practitioner absolutely has the right to not have you as a patient. The same right you have to select another physician.
ok, thank you you've been very helpful. Without giving too much information away, I'd like to expand on the topic. If the GP had been putting th patient on a high dose of narcotics and withdrawl symptoms could actually lead to cardiac arrest, is this considered neglect? Sorry, I should really ask all my questions in one post.
Yes, you should.
I doubt it. You have plenty of time to find a new doctor.
Thank you LynnM, I appreciate it! :D
"Just to get this straight, please correct me if I'm wrong, they cannot deny you care then in the Emergency Room, but they can in any other case."
There is a common misconception that because physicians are in the medical field "taking care" of people that they must accept a patient under any and all circumstances. That is not the case. While they are in a care providing service they are also business people and as such can make decisions as to which patients they can provide services to. Most decisions are made based on two criteria: 1) can they provide the necessary medical care the patient needs within their scope of training, and (2) is the patient compliant with the physician in their care. For example: under #1: if the doctor has no training in cardiology then he is not obligated to treat the patient's heart problems; under #2 if the patient is non-compliant about taking medication, drug seeking, owes too much money to the doctor, or does not keep appointments etc. then the physician may discharge them from care with 30 days written notice and supply of medication if necessary.
Emergency room care is an entirely different model. When a patient arrives to an ER they are entitled to be evaluated and stabilized regardless of their ability to pay or reason for seeking treatment. Once medically stable the ER must either admit the patient or they may discharge them with instructions for follow up care.
"That's just my opinion, then again I might be wrong." Dennis Miller
There may be different issues involved if a doctor previously accepts you as a patient --he or she may not be able to just drop you cold into a life threatening situation.--beyond me.
Why do you think pregnant illegals wait to last minute and use ER as the entry point to medical care?
"There may be different issues involved if a doctor previously accepts you as a patient --he or she may not be able to just drop you cold into a life threatening situation.--beyond me."
Yes this is beyond your knowledge. The physician may discharge a patient from care with 30 days notice in writing and a 30 day supply of prescribed medication. They are not obligated to treat after that if the patient fails to find another doctor and ends up needing care. The ER is ALWAYS available for life threatening situations and is where anyone with a medical crisis should be going.
is the 30 day notice state or nation wide? He just dropped her and if she comes into the office again she'll go to jail...there wasn't really a 30 day notice for that...
Why did he do that?

If it's a fully stocked A2, you do it to make your weapon shorter for CQB type stuff.
Maybe for fatigue reasons if you are at it for a long time? Bring the gun to eye level so your head doesn't have to come down?

As JD said a A2 stock doesn't work well for CQB . Mostly the Army has gone to M4 stocks the Marine Corp has yet to switch over.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
Basically, the M4/AR15 stock doesn't fit where your shoulder would like it to fit. It has to sit half over it.
I always felt that this was an obvious design error. Up untill Nam our soldiers had a proper rifle, after that we were made subject to designers not shooters.
( please don't be offended on my stance, I just don't like those type of rifles.
The sholder is there so let it help with the recoil.)
I don't think it was a design error. I understand that the position of the stock is intentionally aligned with the barrel, instead of dropped down like a classic stock. This is so the muzzle blast pushes back through the shoulder, as opposed to fulcruming and causing muzzle climb. Makes for quicker follow up shots, according to Mr. Stoner. For this reason the sights had to be mounted up high. I could always shoot it fine,with the stock properly at my shoulder. But then, I've never shot at anything other helpless paper.

Different shooting positions get taught to different people in different ways. At very close range, in cqb or cqc, you can quickly and effectively engage a target by looking over the top of the rifle and by placing the butt of the rifle high on your shoulder or over the top of your shoulder. CQB or CQC = Close Quarter Battle or Close Quarter Combat. Often in urban shooting situations you're shooting a target only a few feet from your location. Sort of like shooting across a short room or down a short hallway. Another comparison would be the difference between point shooting and sighted (ALWAYS using the sights of your firearm) shooting. Point shooting is done using a flashsight picture or by looking over the end of a gun barrel instead of ALWAYS properly using the sights of a firearm every single time. Different techniques that both work.
Imagine that you're an enemy soldier and you are surrounded by U.S. Army paratroopers on one side and American marines on the other side... Talk about a hopeless situation... That has got to be legal grounds for suicide!
Butt stays in the air to faciliate keeping sand outta your BDU waist band.
Prevents a sand-blast type chaffing.
The recoil of the 5.56 round out of any AR or M-16 variant is not so bad as to make the high position of the stock a problem. You have that huge recoil spring for a reason.
I like having the toe of the stock in the pocket of my shoulder because this allows me to have my head erect and able to see well in all directions. This makes it quite simple to move or "combat glide" normally without contorting my head and neck to meet my weapon. It also allows you to bring the rifle up to your face or keep it there instead of having to bring the rifle up and your head down to the stock to establish a cheek weld. It looks funny but it's quite comfortable and I couldn't imagining shooting an AR/M-16 any other way.

Yes I remember letting a bunch of US soldiers fire our FN's, they did the "cozy up to the sight thing", despite us warning them not to, or did not push the stock into the shoulder. Lots of cursing, screaming, bruising and bleeding going on. Except for some of the guys who had their own guns or trained on the M14, they all did fine.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – NAU head soccer coach Andre Luciano is proud to announce his 2013 signing class which includes 15 incoming freshmen who will join the Northern Arizona soccer program in the fall. The 15 newcomers will join 17 returning letter winners from the 2012 team in the Lumberjacks' pursuit of a return to the Big Sky Championship.
"This class is a prototypical blue collar class," Luciano said. "They are all players that work extremely hard during training and during games. We spent a lot of time identifying them and we had a lot of them at our camps and clinics. They come from good families who have molded them into fine young women already and they're all players whose number one choice was Northern Arizona University. That was very important for us."
With just three graduating seniors, Luciano utilized this year's recruiting class as a chance to bolster depth throughout the roster. That was evident in the breakdown of the class as Luciano brings in five midfielders, five defenders, three forwards and two goalkeepers.
"The goal specifically was to give us more depth at every position, so this year we didn't go after one specific position," Luciano said. "Instead we made it a focus to be deeper at every position and also to identify players that will not only come in as an impact player their freshman year but who had the potential to develop over their four years."
The defense returns three-fourths of the starting backline in junior Alana D'Onofrio, sophomore Diane Buzzard and freshman Alexia Gonzalez, putting the Lumberjacks in good position in the back. However they also suffer a big loss with the graduation of senior captain and five-year starter Georgia Foltz. To help ease the loss of Foltz, who finished her career as one of the program's most storied players with an All-Big Sky first team selection last fall, Rachel Earll (Meridian, Idaho/Bishop Kelly HS), Amy Eckert (Colorado Springs, Colo./Cheyenne Mountain HS), Missy Kettelkamp (Phoenix, Ariz./Pinnacle HS), Danny Muniz (Scottsdale, Ariz./Chaparral HS) and Ally Wojick (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South HS) will be added to the fold.
Missy Kettelkamp enters the NAU soccer program as her sister, Jessica Kettelkamp, exits after three years with the Lumberjacks.
On the attacking front, NAU welcomes back all 10 players that scored at least one goal in 2012, led by All-Big Sky honorable mention selection freshman Demi Schmieder who was top on the team in goals, assists and points. Schmieder will team up with true freshman Haley Wingender and redshirt freshman Malia Tano, both of whom registered two goals scored last season, up front and will be joined in 2013 by a trio of talented strikers in Lindsay Doyle (Laguna Niguel, Calif./Aliso Niguel HS), Ali Lixandru (Phoenix, Ariz./Pinnacle HS) and Deyana Walker (Ann Arbor, Mich./Ladywood HS).
Two local products out of Flagstaff High School, Meg O'Brien and Mattie Wojcik, are among the five incoming additions to the midfield. The others include two California products, Makenzie DeLaughder (Davis, Calif./Davis Senior HS) and Erin Discipulo (Redondo Beach, Calif./Bishop Montgomery HS), and Shanna Lechelt (Beaverton, Ore./Jesuit HS). The five newcomers will add further depth behind sophomore Emily Roth, an All-Big Sky honorable mention selection last fall, sophomore Savannah Berry, the team's leader in shots in 2012, and freshman Cierra Gamble, the owner of two goals last season.
O'Brien and Wojcik increases the Flagstaff High School representation on the Lumberjack squad to four with Buzzard and freshman Maya Huffman returning. Schmieder, out of local Coconino High School, is the fifth Flagstaff native on next year's roster.
Rounding out the signing class is a pair of goalkeepers in Samantha DeMarco (Gilbert, Ariz./Perry HS) and Cheyanne Mumphrey (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta HS). With Lauren Weaver, a two-time All-Big Sky honorable mention selection, entering her senior season in 2013, the pair will enter the mix with freshman Natalie Gilbertson, who started five games in her first year, as the future in goal for the Lumberjacks.
While Luciano stayed within the state of Arizona to get six of his 15 signees and California, a traditionally constant recruiting ground, for four more signees, he also reached out to the Midwest, Northwest and Mountain regions to complete his class. Of note, Walker is the first ever player from Michigan in program history, Eckert is the first player from Colorado to enter the program since Lindsey O'Dell in 2000 and Wojick is the first player from Illinois to enter the program since Ashley Marrapode and Lauren Zallis in 2008. Luciano credits his program's television coverage for exposing NAU soccer to the rest of the country.
"The most important thing is the exposure that Northern Arizona University is getting on a national level that has been helped dramatically by having our games televised on a national scale by Fox Sports Arizona and Fox College Sports," Luciano said. "For us to get back to recruiting in the Midwest, the Northwest, through California and in-state has been huge."
With 25 total returners and a talented signing class, the Lumberjacks hope to build on their 5-9-5 (3-3-3 Big Sky) season last fall, a two-win increase from 2011, and get back to the Big Sky Championship this upcoming fall for the first time since 2010.

MASSILLON -- Lake Ridge has come a long way in a few short years, making it to the regional tournament in its first season of eligibility since serving a two-year probation.
Unfortunately for the Royals, their trip to Massillon was for a date with defending Div. IV state runner-up Hiland, and the Hawks, after a forgettable first half, played like a team that has been down this road before.
Hiland outscored the Royals 30-12 in the second half to score a 38-28 triumph and advance to the regional championship Saturday against Maplewood, which knocked off Lowellville 45-36 in the other regional semifinal.
Hiland came out of the gate scoring one field goal in the first quarter and only two more in the second, connecting on 3-of-21 from the field in the first half.
But the Hiland defense kept the Hawks in the game, holding North Ridgeville Lake Ridge to only 16 first-half points, to trail 16-8 at intermission.
"We told the kids at halftime, we felt fine where we were at," Hiland coach Dave Schlabach said. "I told them if they give up 16 in the second half, we'll win.
"Defensively, Emily Yoder, Jenica Schrock, Sasha Goings, those kids just wear you out. They wear you out just watching. They did a great job defensively on their guards. Defensively, I thought out kids were phenomenal in the second half," the coach continued. "We get to play for a trip again. I'm so proud of our kids.
"This has happened to us before this year where our defense has kept us in it long enough for us to figure it out offensively," he added. "If you're ever going to get to Columbus, you're going to have to win a game like this. It was a game where we figured it out late. We just had to trust our kids."
Hiland held the Royals to three baskets in the third quarter, two of them coming from Saunders inside. The 6-footer seemed unstoppable when she got the ball inside.
"She created quite a match-up for our kids," said Schlabach, whose Hawks are one win from making the program's 13th state trip. "We gave up so much size there, but I thought Jas (Goings) did a good job on her."
Saunders hit 5-of-7 from the floor before fouling out with 10 points in the fourth quarter. Two of those fouls were charges, taken by the Hawks.
A three-point play by Natalie Nickol got the Hiland offense rolling in the third quarter. Regina Hochstetler followed with a three-point play, (her first points of the game). A turnover by the Royals and a 3-pointer by Hochstetler, and the Hawks were down 20-17 with just under three minutes to play in the third quarter.
After three misses at the other end, Kendra Schlabach cut through the Lake Ridge defense for a layup and the Hawks trailed 20-19.
A charge by the Royals gave the ball back to Hiland and Jasmine Goings drilled a pair of free throws to give Hiland a 21-20 lead.
Saunders scored inside to give Lake Ridge a 22-21 lead after three quarters, but all the momentum was clearly in Hiland's court.
Sharday Baines scored on the opening possession of the fourth quarter to give the Royals a 24-21 lead, but Hochstetler answered with a triple from the wing to tie the game at 24.
Baines drove in for an apparent score, but it was negated by a charging call. Schlabach scored to give the Hawks a 26-24 lead.
A steal and a pass to Hochstetler, who scored inside put Hiland up 28-24 three minutes into the fourth quarter.
Lake Ridge misfired inside and the teams traded empty possessions before Hochstetler delivered again, dropping in a triple from the top of the key to give Hiland a 31-26 lead with 2:49 remaining.
After a missed triple by the Royals, Schrock was fouled and she swished both free throws for a 33-26 lead.
Saunders scored her final basket inside on the next trip down the floor, but fouled out going for a rebound on the ensuing possession and Goings delivered two free throws for an eight-point lead. She finished with 10 points.
Another miss led to another foul by Lake Ridge and Hochstetler sealed the deal with two free throws inside 30 seconds for the final score.
The junior finished with 16 points to pace the Hiland attack after going 0-for-the first half. She finished 5-of-19 from the floor, 3-of-10 from beyond the arc. But every shot she hit was big.
"Regina's 3-pointer out of the time out was huge," Schlabach said. "We have so much confidence in her, we just kept running stuff for her. We knew it was going to happen eventually.
"You've got to have so much confidence in yourself, after the first half she had, to come back the way she did," Schalabch added. "I told her to shoot the ball every time she was open. We believe in her, and I think that helps too."
Being in this environment also is helpful for Hiland.
"I think being here before helps," Schlabach said. "I think our kids expect to win. It doesn't mean we always win, but the expectation is that we'll win. It's not cockiness. It's a humble, we work for it really hard and we feel we're the best of the lot mentality. The alumni that come out and support us, that have had success, it all makes a difference. Being here before and our schedule continues to help. The games we've been in and the type of talent we've had to play against all season long is paying off. When you prepare, like this group has prepared for so many years, their level of confidence is great."
The confidence of the Royals was shaken in the second half, according to their coach Lisa Medvetz.
"They got on a run and that rattled us a little bit," Medvetz said. "Not being in this atmosphere, we just couldn't get into our offense, as much as I was screaming to get into it. We didn't attack like we did in the first half.
"Obviously, them being here so many times, they're used to it," the coach continued. "They were composed. It helps making it here every year. I don't think we could've had a better first year. Our program is growing."
The Royals finish their season 23-4.
"Games like tonight come down to players who have invested the most, and our kids have invested so much," Schlabach said. "Our grittiness, our toughness, Jasmine had a heck of a challenge tonight (in 6-foot senior post Monet Saunders). She and Natalie Nickol did a great job on Saunders."
The Hawks will face Maplewood on Saturday at 7:30 in the regional final.

How do you unfavorite and delete something from a collection? This is not working for me…
Is it me or is this not working? I can click the icons favorite or add to collection but once it's added I can't undo this anymore?
Not really a headache but it's just something that's not yet available on the Envato marketplace… And if it ain't that hard to implement it's weird that no one ever made it yet.
I'm currently looking for a good wordpress theme for a sports team. The basic required features would be: good looking design (not a newsfeed or magazine styled theme), a news slider/ticker, an integrated calendar with recurring events, a sponsor page (with sponsor slider widget on homepage) and then some sliders, CSS3 animations on page load and a page builder would also be neat.
Things like a result fixture and countdown to event clock would also be appreciated but are not really relevant.
If anyone knows a good theme for this or has other suggestions, please let me know.

Nathan - valid point, but I think that would be a matter for the fighter to discuss with the promoter rather than an issue for SAFE MMA itself.
I have a company car and every year I have to show my employer that I have a valid driving licence or they won't let me drive. They didn't pay for my driving lessons though.
Just saying.
I'm watching the video that we're currently uploading to the Your MMA youtube channel now, and there's a lot of clarity there.
Keep your eyes peeled http://www.youtube.com/yourmma.
Interesting is that if you're a Safe MMA registered fighter fighting for a Safe MMA registered promotion and you opt to take a fight on a non-Safe MMA promotion, you'll have to re-submit bloods again due to the fact that you're fighting on a show with no bloods etc. If it has bloods, you will just have to sent that proof for your opponent through I believe.
But the smaller promotions can't afford to join up.
I suspect as a result of this, we'll start seeing a greater separation between amateur and pro. There'll probably be more amateur only events, and maybe some fighters won't be so quick to jump on the pro bandwagon without getting experience at amateur first. I think that's a good thing.
This was my concern also. But the scheme is for pro only.

American Brad Friedel was in goal as Blackburn Rovers shut out French club Nancy, 1-0, on Wednesday to win its UEFA Cup group.
The win in Europe
was a welcome relief for Blackburn, which has struggled in the English Premier League with one win, one tie and six losses in its last eight games. Nancy had the better of play, but Blackburn won
on Australian Lucas Neill's goal in stoppage time. Friedel made two big saves on shots by Nancy's Benjamin Gavanon --
one on Gavanon's chip from near the midfield line. Shortly before halftime, Friedel was spared when Brazilian striker Kim hit the crossbar.
winning its group, Blackburn avoids the eight third-place Champions League teams that drop into the UEFA Cup when the draw for the round of 32 takes place on Friday.
Elsewhere in England
on Wednesday, former U.S. U-17 resident Andrew Giallombardo made his debut for Southampton's U-18 team in a 3-2 victory over Ipswich.
The 5-foot-8
midfielder from Manalapan, N.J., played after receiving clearance from Britain's Home Office to join the Southampton academy program. The U-18s' coach, veteran Frenchman Georges Prost, said Giallombardo would be a "good boost for the team."

Four years ago Baseball America annointed the Indians farm system the 10th best in baseball.
"The Indians formula remains consistent,'' they wrote in the 2007 Baseball America Prospect Handbook.
"They have outstanding depth, keeping them around the top 10, even while remaking the big league club. The organization's strengths include left-handed pitching and power relievers."
Was that an accurate assessment? A four-year window is adequate to finally go back and take a look at how the Indians top 30 prospects, according to the 2007 Baseball America Prospect Handbook, have fared.
Here is a list of all 30 with a brief write up of where they are now and their rank in each of the following years. if it is left blank, it means Baseball America did not rank them.
I didnt get a chance to go as indepth as I would have liked, but this will at least provide the scope of what I was after. Enjoy.
|2007 rank/player
|1. Adam Miller
|Where is he now? On a disabled list. Or an operating table. Or rehabbing his heavily damaged right index finger. Miller's injury history has been well documented and it may
have ended his promising career before it even began.
|2. Chuck Lofgren
|Where is he now? Milwaukee. Lofgren had to rediscover himself after nearly falling off the map in 2008 (2-6 in 85.2 innings, 5.99 ERA at Akron) when personal issues derided his ascension. Lofgren bounced back last season, starting his year at Akron 3-1 with a 1.48 ERA in 42.2 innings before being promoted to Columbus (6-10, 5.31) where he experienced some growing pains. A rule 5 draft pick by Milwaukee, he will get a chance to break camp with the Brewers this season.
|3. Trevor Crowe
|Where is he now? Cleveland. Crowe is a strong defender, but looked overmatched offensively in his three stints with Cleveland last year. As of right now he looks like a fourth outfielder. But Austin Kearns is in camp. And Grady is healthy. And Brantley and LaPorta will be fighting for left. And....
|4. Tony Sipp
|Where is he now? Cleveland. Sipp bounced back from Tommy John surgery in 2007 to become a promising piece in the Indians bullpen. Last year, Sipp pitched 40 innings with the Tribe and was 2-0 with a 2.92 ERA. He struck out 48 and walked 25.
|5. Brian Barton
|Where is he now? Atlanta Braves, Triple A affiliate. Barton became a rule 5 draft pick in 2007 when the St. Louis Cardinals grabbed him and inserted him on the major league roster. At the time, Barton's highest organizational level was a 25-game stint with Triple A Buffalo. With the Cardinals, Barton hit .333/.409/.462 in March in 44 plate appearances, but his numbers tapered off as the season progressed. The Cardinals traded him to the Atlanta Braves last April for relief pitcher Blaine Boyer. Last year, in Triple A, he hit .254/.344/.370 with 110 strikeouts and 44 walks in 458 plate appearances.
|6. John Drennen
|Where is he now? Akron. Hitting a home run off of Roger Clemens in 2006 Class A game can only take you so far. Last year, Drennen finally arrived to Akron after repeating Kinston for three straight years. He struggled with the Aeros, was eventually demoted back to his home away from home Kinston (.270/.395/.397 in 77 plate appearances), and returned to the Aeros again to finish the season with a .274/.320/.449 line at Akron in 354 plate appearances. The former first round pick's stock continues to dwindle.
|7. Scott Lewis
|Where is he now? Sipping daiquiris with Adam Miller. Lewis has shown flashes of ability when he is not adding to his lengthy medical history. He could play a role in Cleveland this season at some point, if he stays healthy. And that is a big IF.
|8. Brad Snyder
|Where is he now? Now, 28 years old, Snyder is toiling in the Chicago Cubs minor league system and is no longer a prospect. He hit .278/.335/.549 with 14 home runs in 260 plate appearances last year for its Triple A affiliate, Iowa.
|9. Wes Hodges
|Where is he now? Columbus. Hodges, like Jordan Brown, is very close to nabbing the dreaded "organizational player" tag. And he can thank injuries for that. Although Cleveland protected him on the 40-man roster this year, so there is still hope of a future return on its investment.
|10. David Huff
|Where is he now? Cleveland. Huff led the indians in wins last year (11), which doesn't say much. More importantly, Huff gained some invaluable major league experience last season that allowed him to show progression as the season neared its completion. he was 3-1 in September with a 2.00 ERAin four starts.
|11. Rafael Perez
|Where is he now? Cleveland. A dominant set up man when he is right, which he wasn't for most of last year.
|12. Sung-Wei Tseng
|Where is he now? The 2006 Taiwan Amateur Pitcher of the Year in 2006 was limited to seven games (1-1. 17.55 ERA in 6.2 innings) in the Rookie Arizona League last year. The 25-year-old split 2008 between Akron (8.80 ERA in nine relief appearances) and Kinston (0-8, 5.27 ERA in 54.2 innings).
|13. JD Martin
|Where is he now? Washington Nationals. Martin got his first peek the professional level last year and provided some quality depth for the Nationals. he finished the season 5-4 with a 4.44 ERA in 15 starts. Martin could sneak into the Nationals rotation this year as a back-end starter.
|14. Juan Lara
|Where is how now? Lara survived a horrific car accident in 2007 that left him with brain trauma, a cervical spine fracture, broken ribs and nerve damage to his pitching
arm. He was in a coma for three weeks.Lara tried to come back to baseball last season, an amazing step considering what he has been through, but is yet to pitch in a game.
|15. Adrubal Cabrera
|Where is he now? Cleveland, and should be for a few more years.
|16. Matt McBride
|Where is he now? Akron, maybe Columbus. The 25-year-old prospect tore it up at Kinston last year hitting .405/.453/.667 with six home runs, 15 strikeouts and 11 walks in 139 at bats. He earned a promotion to Akron where his overall production leveled out: .247/.301/.427 with 12 home runs, 42 strikeouts and 18 walks in 406 plate appearances. He doesn't catch anymore, which helped his offensive numbers jump, but hurt his overall value. How many
outfield-1B-DH types does this organization already have?
|17. Brian Slocum
|Where is he now? Organizational filler for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He pitched at triple A Indianapolis last year and posted a 3.94 ERA in 32 innings of relief. He did strike
out 28, but that is one shy of his age this season.
|18. Edward Mujica
|Where is he now? San Diego Padres. Mujica seemed to find a home after struggling in two seasons with the Tribe. Last year, splitting time between the bullpen and the starting rotation, he finished the season 3-5 with a 3.94 ERA in 93 innings. He started four games, all in September, and went 0-1 with a 5.94 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 16 innings. The Padres clearly have some versatility to work with.
|19. Kelly Shoppach
|Where is he now? Now providing the air conditioning at Tropicana Field for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Everyone takes shots at Shoppach in Cleveland for his strikeout numbers. Heck, I just did. it was too easy. But Shoppach is better than he is given credit for. Consider this fact that Basebal Prospectus pointed out: his batting average on balls in play dropped to .280 last year. It was over .350 the previous three seasons. The Rays may be getting a bounce back player. A catcher who can hit 20-25 homers for you and play solid, but not spectacular defense is worth having around... but not worth paying when Carlos Santana is waiting.
|20. Wyatt Toregas
|Where is he now? Cleveland... At least until Carlos Santana is ready to contribute.
|21. Max Ramirez
|Where is he now? Texas Rangers minor league system, with a few major league stints. Ramirez, who the Atlanta Braves traded to the Indians for Bob Wickman in 2006, joined a deep catching talent pool in Texas when the Indians sent him there in exchange for Kenny Lofton in 2007.
|22. Aaron Laffey
|Where is he now? the Cleveland rotation.. or is the bullpen? Laffey showed off his versatility, and knack for getting double plays, last season when he proved to be one of the Indians better pitchers in the starting rotation. Despration moved him to the bullpen where he continued to do well, before a strained oblique muscle interfered. He should be in the middle of the Indians pitching plans this season, most likely the starting rotation.
|23. Josh Rodriguez
|Where is he now? Akron or Columbus. Rodriguez is your prototypical Mark Shapiro shortstop. Little range, good size and a strong bat. He was moved to second base last season, before a hamstring injury ruined Rodriguez's 2009 campaign at Akron, a level he was already repeating. His window is starting to close.
|24. Jordan Brown
|Where is he now? Columbus. At what point does a player stop being a "prospect" and just become Crash Davis? It seems like Brown is toeing that line. He holds Carolina League (2006) and Eastern League (2007) MVP honors and led the International League last season with a .336 batting average. He is considered one of the better contact hitters in the organization too. So, what gives? Brown, who will turn 27 this year doesn't strikeout too much (64 times last year), but he doesn't take many walks either (30) and projects to have average power. He isn't a strong a defender and is a below average runner. It's obvious his best trait is his ability to make contact, but the Indians brass appear to demand a bit more out of its corner spots. This season may be his last try at becoming a contributable Indian and I don't see him supplanting Matt LaPorta or Michael Brantley for a roster spot.
|25. Jensen Lewis
|Where is he now? Cleveland bullpen. How unpredictable are bullpen pitchers? Lewis, and Rafael Perez, both lost their way last year after previously being strong set up men. Lewis could be alright if he figures out how to stay away from giving up home runs.
|26. Jose Constanza
|Where is he now? Akron or Columbus. A frustrating player to watch. Constanza has game changing speed and, at times, dominates because of it. But he lacks the consistency and demeanor to reach the majors.
|27. Tom Mastny
|Where is he now? Japan. A reliever for the the Yokohama Bay Stars.
|28. Frank Herrmann
|Where is he now? Columbus. Herrmann split last season between Akron and Columbus. Upon his arrival in Columbus he was turned into a relief pitcher where he logged 76 innings, struck out 50 and carried a 2.96 ERA. It is unclear where he fits in the big picture yet. He has never been a big strikeout pitcher in the minors.
|29. Steven Wright
|Where is he now? Columbus. Wright spent nearly the entire season at Akron last year, logging 81.1 innings, striking out 64, walking 20 and carrying a 2.32 ERA. He was 10-0 overall. He struck out four in 5 2/3 innings at Columbus and carried a 4.76 ERA.
|30. Stephen Head
|Where is he now? Columbus. Yet another first baseman/outfielder type who is buried on the depth chart. last year at Columbus .246/.291/.368, which puts him somehwhere on the organizational depth chart below Russell Branyan, Matt LaPorta, Travis Hafner, Andy Marte, Jordan Brown, Beau Mills, Nick Weglarz, Wes Hodges....
After four years there are still some players who the verdict is out on (Brown,Wright, McBride come to mind) although the window of opportunity is shutting fast.
Despite all that, it is still safe to say the 2007 "top prospects" lacked impact players.
Asdrubal Cabrera is the only positional starter. Wyatt Toregas and Trevor Crowe provide depth.
Baseball America was right about the left-handed pitchers and power relievers.
Left-handers Huff and Laffey are both in contention to be Indians starters this season and have shown some quality signs. Both will be middle of the rotation pitchers at best.
relievers Sipp, Jensen Lewis and Rafael Perez could all be strong bullpen pitchers, but have had their shares of ups and downs.
Other desirables now on other teams:
Chuck Lofgren could turn into a solid starter for the Brewers.
Kelly Shoppach is a solid major leaguer, but wasn't worth an investment when Carlos Santana appears to be the real deal.
Mujica and Martin had plenty of opportunities with the Tribe. Martin was a nine-year minor league vet before he broke through last season.
The lift Lofton gave the Indians in 2007 was well worth the price, Max Ramirez.
