As Winter Meetings Begin, Where Exactly Does This Roster Stand?
Written by Joe Aiello, Posted in General
If you're like me, you've been anxiously watching Twitter for any nugget with which to grasp at as far as Cubs news. Today we take a look at the current roster to see where we stand as we head into the winter meetings.
Theo was interviewed and said the Cubs goal going into the meetings was to come away with an outfielder, starting pitcher, and bullpen help. An unspoken goal is to also come away with depth in the farm as a result of trading Jeff Samardzija. Let's go position by position to see if perhaps there are other needs as well.
At the beginning of the off-season, a lot of talk from the rumor mill was that the Cubs were possibly interested in pursuing a free agent catcher, despite the fact that Wellington Castillo had himself a pretty nice year in the full time role. As of right now, he figures to be the starting catcher going into opening day with newly acquired George Kottaras playing the role of backup. We got a little spoiled last year with having Dioner Navarro in that role, but I think Kottaras will do a serviceable job. I posted an old scouting report on him a few days ago that gives me hope that he can fill the role when needed. There really is no heir apparent waiting in the wings down on the farm so the job appears to be Castillo's for the foreseeable future. I feel OK at the position, though I could see why some projected the team to be in the market for a catcher. Long term, I don't think Castillo is the answer, but for now, he'll do.
First Base
For some reason, I seem to be the only one on Twitter that is worried about this position. I'm not really worried about Anthony Rizzo, but rather the lack of depth at the position should Rizzo need a day off or get injured for any period of time. Currently on the 40 man roster, there really isn't a good name out there to serve as the backup. In my opinion, that's a huge mistake. I'd really like to see the Cubs go out and sign a name to a one year deal to help backup, but also help mold Rizzo and team him the way of the position. He's got the skill set to be a star in the league so he could use a mentor to help him achieve and deal with that. New coach, Eric Hinske should help a little, as he played the position as recently as last season, but the relationship with a coach is different compared to one with a fellow player.
James Loney is one of the names that stands out on the market at the position, but you're not going to get someone like that to take a backup role. He's looking for a starting job. Looking further, I find two names that would fit the bill and give the Cubs a nice veteran to help Rizzo, Carlos Pena and Lyle Overbay. Both would give the Cubs power off the bench and would be a veteran presence on a team fairly full of younger names. The downside is that neither are versatile when it comes to being able to play other positions on the field, so it probably means both are ruled out. Never fear, I have another name later in the piece.
Second Base
You know my feelings on this position. I'm not a Darwin Barney guy. I have nothing against him. In fact, I'm rooting for myself to be wrong, but to simply go into the season blind with him as your starter is irresponsible. As of this time last week, there was talk that he would be non-tendered. The Cubs decided to keep in the fold, but his days are probably numbered. Even now, there are rumors that the Oakland A's have interest in the services of both him and Nate Schierholtz.
There are a few options should Barney get off to a poor start, but really, all eyes are on Javier Baez. Should he show enough early in the season to force the Cubs hand for a promotion, we would see either him or Starlin Castro shifted to second base. For now, I can see Logan Watkins and Luis Valbuena coming off the bench to back up the position.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I really think 2014 is going to be a coming out party for Starlin Castro. I think he's going to feel the heat from Baez down on the farm and the new regime will be able to reach him. One of the main reasons the Cubs wanted a manger with the ability to speak Spanish was to reach Castro. I went on record last year and said that Castro would lead the NL in hits. I was a little off on that, but this year I think he'll get close. 200 hits should be his goal with continued improvement in the field. If he can do that, there is no reason to move him from the position should Baez get promoted. Other than Barney, there really isn't a great option to back him up, but I think we found last year that days off will be important for him. He wore down last year and I think the days that Dale benched him did him well. We saw him close the year out with a .259 / .302 / .361 slash line in the month of September, and while that's not overly impressive, it was improvement over the month before. I may be grasping at straws here, but I still believe.
Third Base
Close your eyes. Stick your hands in my sack and pull out a marble. On it is written the name of a potential third base occupant. Mike Olt? Donnie Murphy? Valbuena? Watkins? Heck, I know he's playing in the outfield now, but even Josh Vitters could see some time at the position. Who will establish themselves as the starter is anyone's guess. I can make a case for all of them. Ultimately, I think the Cubs will give every opportunity to Olt to show his skills and reach the potential that many have projected for him. As of now, he doesn't even make the depth chart on Cubs.com at the position, but I can't see how he isn't the organization's choice if all things are equal. The question then becomes when does Kris Bryant hit enough to earn the trip to Chicago and claim the position. If Olt shines, then we may see Bryant shifted to the OF. If not, I'd think that Bryant will remain at the position and be the heir to Aramis Ramirez.
I tweeted over the weekend:
If there is ever a day you think the day is going a little too well, take a look at the current #Cubs OF and you'll be back to normal.

Unfortunately that's where we stand. Obviously that could change in a heartbeat should the Cubs go big in their quest for an outfielder at the winter meetings, but assuming they don't, the outfield is a tad bit underwhelming, but also brimming with talent on the farm. As of right this second, I think we see an outfield of Junior Lake, Ryan Sweeney, and Schierholtz from left to right with Brian Bogusevic as the 4th outfielder. Beyond that we've got a bit of a hole. In fact, we really don't have anyone on the 40 man roster to fill the 5th outfield spot. Vitters has been working on the position and should have the opportunity to compete for the spot, but that's not guaranteed. You've got to hit to be able to stay, especially when outfield is a new position for him. Here is where my ideas come into play.
Let's assume that the rumors are true that the Cubs are interested in Shin Soo Choo. Word out of the winter meetings have his camp asking for a seven year deal worth somewhere in the range of $125 – $150 million. That's a lot of money to invest in a guy when you have names on the cusp of coming to the Majors real soon. It just doesn't make sense to me. Instead, I'd look for temporary fixes that can be versatile and add power to the lineup. Corey Hart seems like a slam dunk fit. He can play first as well as outfield and can hit for power. Coming off injuries, it's the exact type of player the Cubs try to bring in. A guy slightly down on his luck and looking to rebound. A one or even two year deal for a small amount of money should get it down. It would also gives the team flexibility when it comes to dealing Schierholtz while not taking up a space should Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, Brett Jackson, or Matt Szcur develop and be ready for a spot.
Starting Pitcher
There is a very good chance that Samardzija is no longer on this roster when the calendar turns over to 2014. Should that be the case, it leaves just a few names on the roster who can fill the role of a starting pitcher. Travis Wood is an obvious choice as is Edwin Jackson. From there, you figure to pencil in Chris Rusin and Jake Arrieta based on their performance in 2013. With the Cubs desire to come away from the winter meetings with a starting pitcher, I took to the list to see what was available and came up with a few names to consider.
Scott Baker – He was the reclamation project that didn't quite get off the ground last year. Could he be in line for another shot?
Tommy Hanson – Still so very young and based on what we've heard about Chris Bosio, why can't he turn things around?
James McDonald – Like Hanson, he's still relatively young and showed flashes of really good when he was with Pittsburgh.
All three are low risk guys that could turn into mid-season swaps should we hit.
Down on the farm, a sleeper name to keep an eye on would be Kyle Hendricks. In 27 starts last year, he finished the season with an ERA of 2.00 and only allowed five home runs all year. He's not a guy that will blow you away with his stuff, but he doesn't walk guys and stays out of trouble as a result. He is someone who could easily continue to develop and fill a spot in that rotation this season.
My least favorite thing about the team to write about is the bullpen. It's so hit or miss so I'll keep it short. Pedro Strop is my closer. From there I fill my pen like this:
– James Russell
– Kyuji Fujikawa
– Blake Parker
– Carlos Villanueva
– Arodys Vizcaino
From there I look to make a play for a name that has been rumored all weekend, John Axford. He would be a nice veteran addition coming off a very nice close to his 2013 season. If not, Hector Rondon probably gets the call.
That's it. How do you feel?

Two-sample estimation of poverty rates for disabled people : an application to Tanzania
Estimating poverty measures for disabled people in developing countries is difficult, partly because relevant data are not available. We develop two methods to estimate poverty by the disability status of the household head. We extend the small-area estimation proposed by Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (2002, 2003) so that we can run a regression on head's disability status even when such information is unavailable in the survey. We do so by aggregation and by moment adjusted two sample instrumental variable estimation. Our results from Tanzania show that both methods work well, and that disability is indeed associated with poverty.

Sinusitis is an infection that causes the sinuses (moist air spaces within the bones of the face around the nose) to swell or become irritated.
The sinuses are four sets of hollow spaces located in the cheekbones (maxillary sinus), the forehead (frontal sinus), behind the nasal passages (ethmoid sinus), and deep in the brain behind the nasal passages (sphenoid sinus). Sinuses are lined with the same mucous membranes that line the nose and mouth.
When someone has a cold or allergies and the nasal passages become swollen and make more mucus, so do the sinus tissues. The drainage system for the sinuses can get blocked, and mucus can become trapped in the sinuses. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi can grow there and lead to sinusitis.
Sinusitis is common and easily treated. Your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to treat cases of sinusitis that are believed to be caused by bacteria. Some doctors may recommend decongestants and antihistamines to help reduce the symptoms.
Cases of sinusitis caused by viruses usually go away on their own without medical treatment. Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and/or warm compresses can help reduce any pain. But over-the-counter cold preparations have not been found to be effective in reducing symptoms in kids and may cause unwanted side effects.

Aguero suffers groin injury
Sergio Aguero has sustained a groin injury in training with Argentina and is now doubtful for the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Bolivia.
Aguero suffered a similar injury while representing Manchester City during the 4-0 victory over Blackburn at the start of October, and Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella has said the forward may miss Friday's game against Bolivia.
Javier Pastore, of Paris St Germain, is in line to replace him if he fails to prove his fitness.
"Sergio Aguero has a sore groin and is doubtful for the match against Bolivia," Sabella told the Argentinian Football Association's official website. "In the event that Aguero does not play, Javier Pastore may replace him.
"The rest of the team to play Bolivia is: Sergio Romero, Pablo Zabaleta, Nicolas Burdisso, Martin Demichelis, Clemente Rodriguez, Fernando Gago, Javier Mascherano, Ricardo Alvarez, Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain. We do not know whether Aguero will be able to play."
Argentina's next qualifier is against Colombia on Tuesday.

Like tens of thousands of New Yorkers, Andrew and Mark Madoff are out of work. It probably doesn't help that their names -- and resumes -- are linked to the biggest Ponzi schemer of all time, their dad Bernie.
The brothers have been out of work since federal agents arrested their father, the Wall Street Journalreported.
Mark Madoff, who worked at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC for more than 20 years, climbing up the ladder to director of proprietary trading, recently met with at least two Wall Street contacts to get their opinions on whether he could find another job in finance, sources to the Journal.
"He's untouchable in any firm that deals with the public," says someone who talked to the elder Madoff son, 45.
Andrew Madoff, 42, was director of trading when the New York securities firm collapsed. He has considered starting a firm involved in disaster recovery, sources said.
The brothers' annual earnings ran as high as $5 million while working for their dad.
Some other former Madoff employees have also run into difficulties shaking the stigma of their former place of employment. Some have also found that a change of career is in order.
I'll never get a job in finance, and I'm one of the lucky ones," says Eleanor Squillari, Bernard Madoff's assistant for many years. She told WSJ that she went to beauty school this summer and plans to look for work at a hair salon while selling her handmade jewelry.

Northwest St. Johns County residents Keith and Dawn Martin have a dream to create a baseball field where children who are physically or mentally challenged are able to experience the thrill of playing on a team with real uniforms and all the camaraderie that goes along with the competition. They are working with a strong group of volunteers to raise money to create the Field of Dreams on a St. Johns County Parks and Recreation field at Aberdeen Park off Longleaf Pine Parkway.
Once completed, the Field of Dreams League will operate under the guidance of Creek's Athletic Association. Any of the county's nearly 1,500 exceptional children and young adults will be permitted to join the league, with two divisions based on ability. The Miracle Division will encompass severely handicapped children and young adults, while the Challenger Division will be home to children and young adults who want to compete, keep score and play at a more aggressive level.
Approximately 22,000 square feet of specially designed rubber turf will cover the field. The cost for construction materials is an estimated $181,000. Individual donations are greatly appreciated, and the committee is actively seeking corporate or individual sponsors. For information on sponsorship, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Volunteers will be needed to assist with fundraising and construction of the Field of Dreams. For information on volunteer opportunities, e-mail email@example.com.

Thank you! I took the picture myself. I was going for the angle that is in the 1957 ad with the white/blue De Soto and the caption "This baby can flick its tail at anything on the road!"
Thanks, a great picture, this beats a 59 Cadillac fin shot anyday.

Notes: Mo puts 'Sandman' debate to rest
Notes: Rivera puts 'Sandman' debate to rest
Wagner, who has used the song to walk in from the bullpen during his days in both Houston and Philadelphia, was accompanied by it as he entered Monday's game at Shea Stadium. Wagner started using the song in 1999, though he hasn't used it exclusively.
The Yankees started playing the tune for Rivera in 1999, though he had never heard it before. It has become a staple of home games in the Bronx, with the fans rising to their feet upon hearing the first few notes.
"I love it when the song comes on and those doors open up. It identifies when I'm going to pitch," Rivera said. "It's something the fans like, they identify me with the song, and some of them call me 'Sandman' now."
After being informed that Wagner's use of the song had started a controversy in New York, Rivera was all smiles.
"I think it's funny," Rivera said. "To the people that are fighting over this, I appreciate the loyalty."
Rivera, who met Metallica singer James Hetfield last season at Yankee Stadium, admitted that he doesn't listen to Metallica, opting instead for Christian music on his iPod. That said, Rivera has become a fan of the song after hearing it at the stadium for the past seven years.
As for Wagner's use of "Enter Sandman," Rivera believes that the song is big enough for both of them to use.
"He's a great guy and he has all my respect," Rivera said. "I don't mind it at all. If the guy feels comfortable using the song, let him be."
Still streaking: With his start on Tuesday, Hideki Matsui extended his consecutive games streak to 1,739 dating back to his time in Japan.
Matsui has appeared in all 489 games since joining the Yankees, tacking that total on to the 1,250 he played with the Yomiuri Giants. Manager Joe Torre said he has no plans to put an end to Matsui's streak anytime soon, since he knows what it means to the left fielder.
"It's important for him," Torre said. "My first loyalty is to the team, and as long as it's not a detriment to the team, I don't see there being any problem with it. I don't see any reason to stop the streak, because he's going to help the ballclub. "
Torre will use Matsui as his DH from time to time, giving his legs a rest from playing the outfield.
"Going in, if you have that in mind, at least you'll do it once in a while," Torre said. "My first priority is [Gary Sheffield], because he's a little older and he's dealing with some physical problems."
No news: The Yankees are still waiting for Dr. Robert Watkins, a back specialist, to offer his opinion on Carl Pavano's bruised backside.
Pavano's MRI results were sent to the Southern California doctor on Monday, but as of game time Tuesday, the Yankees had not heard from him.
Torre said that Pavano was feeling "a lot better" on Tuesday, even asking to throw on flat ground on Wednesday. The pitcher has been shut down since Thursday, and Torre believes it may be a week before he's back on a mound.
"It may move him back somewhat," Torre said, "but I don't think it's anything that's going to be significant."
Coming up: The Yankees close out their three-game series in Oakland on Wednesday, as Chien-Ming Wang takes on Dan Haren.

Potential vorticity
This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In fluid mechanics, potential vorticity (PV) is a quantity which is proportional to the dot product of vorticity and stratification that, following a parcel of air or water, can only be changed by diabatic or frictional processes. It is a useful concept for understanding the generation of vorticity in cyclogenesis (the birth and development of a cyclone), especially along the polar front, and in analyzing flow in the ocean.
In meteorology, the potential vorticity unit (PVU) is defined as .
It is also useful in tracing intrusions of stratospheric air deep into the troposphere in the vicinity of jet streaks, a concentrated region within a jet stream where the wind speeds are the strongest. It acts as a flow tracer in the ocean as well. It can also be used to explain how a range of mountains like the Andes can make the upper westerly winds swerve towards the equator and back.
Baroclinic instability requires the presence of a potential vorticity gradient along which waves amplify during cyclogenesis.
PV conservation[edit]
Carl-Gustaf Rossby first introduced potential vorticity in his 1936 paper "Dynamics of steady ocean currents in the light of experimental fluid mechanics". This work was based on an analysis of a shallow water model of the Gulf Stream. The concept was developed further, within a few years of Rossby's seminal paper, by Hans Ertel. Mathematically, Ertel's form of potential vorticity is given by the equation:
where is the fluid density, is the absolute vorticity and is the gradient of the potential temperature. It can be shown through a combination of the first law of thermodynamics and momentum conservation that potential vorticity can only be changed by diabatic heating (such as latent heat released from condensation) or frictional processes. This conservation is the atmospheric equivalent to angular momentum. A spinning ice skater with her arms spread out laterally can accelerate her rate of spin by contracting her arms. Similarly, when a vortex of air is broad, it is in turn, slow. When the air converges, to maintain potential vorticity, the air speed increases, resulting in a stretched ring vortex. Divergence causes the vortex to spread, slowing down the rate of spin.

The long and well-publicized feud between DOKKEN frontman Don Dokken and former DOKKEN axeman George Lynch shows no signs of letting up. In a recent interview with Glam Metal, Dokken was more than eager to tell his side of the story."George was a great guitar player — he was one of the best of the 80's — but I knew from the first day that I met him that something wasn't right," the singer revealed. "I went to [drummer] Mick Brown (who went to high school with him) and said that George seemed a little off, a little strange, he just seemed very angry. I thought that the more famous we got the happier he would be, but it became quite the opposite. It was very sad." According to Don, not only would Lynch take his anger out on the band, but he would also be very ambivalent towards his own fans. Often he would intentionally try to sabotage the shows. "I would say, please George people pay to see us, fake it, smile to the audience, pretend like you want to be here," recalled the singer. "He would tell me that he was only here for the money and didn't give a fuck about the fans. That really bothered me because without the fans we're nothing. Lynch didn't see it that way — he said that the fans should be lucky that he was playing for them. It was a real big issue with us and I hear that he's not any happier now. I think he needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror, or maybe get some sort of medication. I don't hate him, I just feel very sorry for him. I would hate to wake up every day angry at the world. What a horrible way to live life."

Nanogenerator harvests power from waves
Post a comment
In addition, working with researchers at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and SunYat-Sen University in China, Wang's group has demonstrated what it calls piezotronic devicestransistors, diodes and sensors made from piezoelectric materials.
The piezotronic transistor, for instance, controls conductance in its channel by bending it between the source and drain electrodes to produce a gate potential. Up to a tenfold change in conductance has been observed by flexing the piezotronic transistor, according to Wang.
The piezotronic diode harnesses the interface between an electrode and the stretched side of a flexed nanowire, thereby limiting current flow to one direction. And the piezotronic sensor flexes to measure a force as small as a nanoNewton, making the device sensitive enough to detect a single molecule, Wang said.
All of the team's nanogenerators and other piezotronic devices are fabricated from zinc oxide compounds that Wang claims are biocompatible, thus making them candidates for medical implants that, for instance, could measure blood flow, then generate their own power to relay that information wirelessly to diagnosticians.

ok can anyone help this is getting frustrating i have tried letterbomb and i have tried game xploit but i cant get the stuff to show up on my mem card in the wii. I am running 4.3u and did everthing in the steps. this is the first time i have had this much trouble with the wii doing this to the wii. any insite would be most appreciated.
What game exploit did you try? You might get more attention to your post if you're using a wiihacks guide and posting on the appropriate thread. You continually reference "getting stuff to show up on mem card"... not sure what you're driving at here. Show up where?
well i am using Guide: Softmod ANY Wii. following the correct steps. i tried using letterbomb but could not get the letter to show up on my wii. today i went and bought lego batman and tried that way and i could not find the hack save to copy to my wii. like i said i follow the steps and redo them and still same thing. using 2 different 2 gig scandisc sd cards
Make sure the private folder is on the root of your SD card.
for the letterbomb or the exploit
Both, but mainly I was referring to the Lego Batman save. The private folder has to be on the root of the card for your Wii to see it.
ok i did that for the letterbomb but would not show up with the red letter. i will try that now with the batman

MONT-SAINT-MICHEL, France — Going down a row of television cameras, answering one question after another, the wearer of the Tour de France's yellow jersey never veered off message.
Yes, said Chris Froome, he was delighted to have increased his race lead with a super-fast ride in the time trial. But, no, he added, the Tour isn't over yet because the road to Paris is still long.
Froome is right about the long part – Paris is still 1,661 kilometers (1,032 miles) away. But if Froome really believes there is any doubt that he will be standing on top of the podium on the Champs-Elysees on July 21, then he is part of a quickly shrinking minority. After Wednesday's time trial race against the clock to the medieval abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel , the Briton has a lead that now appears unassailable.
The field rode through picture-postcard villages of cottages built of dark granite.
Not that Froome noticed.
"During the race, you can't really take any of that in at all," he said. "You go into tunnel vision, and it's just a blur of noise and color around you."
But with each push on his pedals, Froome's lead over his rivals grew.
By the end, with Mont-Saint-Michel rising majestically in front of him from an islet off the Brittany coast, Froome wasn't far from catching Alejandro Valverde, even though the Spaniard set off three minutes earlier than him from Avranches.
Although Valverde is still Froome's closest rival, it's really no longer close. Froome's lead over the Spaniard more than doubled to 3 minutes, 25 seconds. At the Tour, that might as well be light years. Froome would have to crash, suffer some other mishap or get sick for his rivals to catch him.
"Once we get into the Alps, there's a run of a few days, back to back, which are going to be very hard," he said. "I'm sure other teams are really going to test us."
The winner of Stage 11 was time trial world champion Tony Martin. The German collapsed exhausted after crossing the line and lay face-up on the asphalt.
Martin's white world champion's jersey with rainbow stripes was so drenched with sweat that it turned translucent, revealing underneath scabs on his skin from a terrifying crash on Stage 1.
But because the Tour isn't just any old race, Martin said he felt compelled to continue after doctors gave the OK to do so.
It also helped that he had conditioned himself before the race to expect a crash.
"I kept in mind before the Tour that I would crash one or two times in the first week. It's more or less usual to crash. So if you are ready for it, I think with a lot of morale, I think you can survive this."
The only ugliness on this otherwise spectacular stage was that a roadside spectator apparently sprayed urine at British rider Mark Cavendish as he was riding the course, said Patrick Lefevere, manager of his Omega Pharma-Quick Step team.
Froome noted that one of the attractions of cycling is that spectators get close to the athletes. The Cavendish incident "ruins the whole atmosphere."

The rooms where music is made and experienced affect everything from the sound of the instruments to the mood of the people in them. Each week in Space Explorer, Brian Heffernan will tell you about a different room with significance to St. Louis music.
It's a nice way to start a weekend.
"Nice" is a tame word, but Saturday morning activities, both in practice and portrayal, ought to be subdued. Anything remotely jarring might send folks diving back under the blankets. With cups of coffee and an occasional breakfast sandwich, the crowd and its canine friends pause in and around the almost-century-old Pool Pavilion to take in the cool, 53-degree autumn morning. Children scoot up close and parents with canvas produce bags give a listen to local talent.

So, with an acoustic guitar and subtle accompaniment, including a percussionist who finger-pattered tempos on the tops of his thighs, folk songstress Auset welcomed buyers and browsers to the Tower Grove Farmer's Market and the finale of the KDHX-sponsored Harvest Sessions concert series last Saturday, which also included performances by The Lulus and Pretty Little Empire.
"I don't know how many people come for the music," says Beverly Hacker, executive director of KDHX. "But, I definitely think people stay for it." She says one of the goals of the series is to cultivate foot and bike traffic and build a sense of community in the neighborhood.
For Lon Crouch, seated in the rear row of plastic chairs, a stop here is part of his daily exercise regimen. He lives just a couple blocks away and walks the park every morning. "I enjoy the people and the music on Saturday mornings," he says with grin. "I usually get a coffee and a cookie. That's just standard fare." Chocolate chip, today.

Dressed in wolf mask and tail, University of North Florida freshman Daniel McCook took the stage at Kings Trail Elementary School and told an audience of third, fourth and fifth graders, "I'm hungry all the time ... I'll have Grandma for dinner and LIitle Red Riding Hood for dessert."
The occasion was Opera in a Box's production of "Little Red Riding Hood," Seymour Barab's comic opera for children. Opera in a Box is the inspiration of Krzysztof Blernacki, a UNF professor who is head of voice & opera.
Underwritten with grants from UNF and Riverside Fine Arts, Opera in a Box is taking "Little Red Robin Hood" to six Duval County schools for seven performance in February and March.
"We always look for projects we can do in the community," said Blernacki, a baritone who has performed in Europe, Canada and the United States and is in his ninth year teaching at UNF. "It's much easier to go to the community than to get the community to come to you."
"It's going to be really cool showing the kids this theater style," said Rachel Rubright, a UNF vocal performance major, who played Little Red Riding Hood in the Kings Trail performance.
The program, in its first year, is called Opera in a Box because the sets, costumes, props and instruments arrive in two large boxes, one of which becomes Grandma's bed during the performance.
Barbara Ebers, who teaches music at Kings Trail, said Opera in a Box offers her students an exposure to opera that they might not otherwise ever get. Making the opera more accessible to them was "the fact it is being presented by young voices and is a commonly known story sung in English," she said.
"We just want to expose our children to the different arts that are out there," said Kings Trail's principal Diane Clark.
During the opera, which lasts about 45 minutes, Little Red Riding Hood's mother tells her to take some treats to the house of her Grandma, who isn't feeling well. Ignoring her mother's advice, Little Red Riding Hood wanders off the main trail to pick some strawberries, then encounters the Wolf.
He's ready to eat her until she offers him some strawberries. The Wolf, it seems, get sick at the sight of sweets. So he changes plans and goes to Grandma's house, intending to eat her.
But Grandma locks herself in a closet and when Little Red Riding Hood arrives, the sight of the strawberries makes the Wolf sick again. Then the Woodsman arrives, ax in hand. The Wolf flees offstage but apparently doesn't escape. The opera ends with Grandma wearing his tail as a wrap.
At the end of the opera, Little Red Riding Hood delivers the moral of the story: "Never trust strangers."
But Blernacki took away a different lesson: "The moral of the story is do not eat too much sweet stuff."
"It's a very fun show," said UNF sophomore Derek Swearengin, who worked as a stage hand at Kings Trail but will play the Wolf in future performances.
"He's the normal wolf type character," Swearengin said. "He has a cowardly side. But the poor guy just can't catch a break."

the govt doesn't give a squat about surfers, but think about the idea that something of an artificial reef type structure built offshore, may actually be an effective way of preventing beach erosion.
I'm not sure if that was the point jordan was trying to make w/ his original comment, but I think it sounds pretty darn reasonable. In my mind, I can see how, building an offshore structure to break up the surf could be very effective. I'm not sure how, effective, it would really be on the storm surge issue, but either is any other method.
We already know that beach replenishment, jetties, sea walls, etc.. are only very temporary solutions to the problem...
Breakwaters are already in place to protect some bay areas. But, if artificial reefs could effectively prevent beach erosion, and provide good surf (not to mention a good habitat for marine life). then hey, bonus all around!

I live in fenwick and they replenished the beach two years ago in the fall. When they were in the middle of it there was a big swell and it just went off. And it held up duing the big NE swells to but other than that it sucked. does anyone know where they are planning on replenishing the beach anyway?

The end is near!
September. South Bethany to (north) 5th street in b-town. Waves will suck after that. But like I mentioned earlier, they will be skipping middlesex. That could make things interesting. And by the way. I have been guarding for 12 years at sea colony and we keep a calculated log that shows since the last replenishment, we have dropped our spinal injuries every single year. Last year, constantly surfing the best sand bars that I have ever seen there, we had no major shoulder, head or neck injuries. Summer 08 could be a nightmare for the guards...and surfers!

I here ya ob...
I'd say one of the interesting things about ruining one beach with sand, is the affects that happens to the surround beaches as the longshore current brings new sand to other places...
i'd say overall, coastal engineering is responsible for destroying some breaks, and also creating some good ones. Take our inlets for example... Or the wedge in newport!

I am not pro or con!
I think that they have to dredge it. I was talking to a friend who works for the core and hes says that the reef idea has been proposed 30 years ago. The problem is we don't have the kind of bottom needed to keeps its exsistence. Basically, a hurrincane or nor easter could wipe it away easily from what he was saying. We just do not have any structure to keep it stable out there. And, some one had mentioned that beach replenishment was more expensive. This particulare prject if one of the biggest ever chashing out the tax payers just over 11 million dollars. The artificail reefs that people want to see may not even be possible. The stretch of coast we call the bethany area would see a 3-4 mile reef costing upwards of a 100 million. That is a big step that tax payers in a lil town would not vote in. Maybee in atlantic city the money could work, but not in bethany. Whatever, we will still surf. I bet north oc will come back to life. Maybe some epic secret spot?

Actually I have read and heard about some interesting and cheap technologies emerging for reef building - involving pumping sand into giant sandbags and placing the bags strategically. Could potentially work well for east coast beaches to create some structure. If I find the links again I will post them.

Artificial Reefs
I wonder how much that reef project would cost, and where it would go. Also, I have heard that they were thinking about putting sand bags out in the water and that could potentially work too.

Darton students taste the spice of life at International Festival
Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:39:23 GMT —
Students munched on diverse foods, listened to cultural music and watched native performances at Darton College's 2012 International Festival.
This year's theme was "Spice it Up!" and encouraged students to learn about 34 different cultures including Mexico, Morocco, China and more.
Diana Garner of the International Studies says this is a great way for both American and International students to embrace other cultures which is very important.
At the end of the day after all of the performances -- including belly dancing with fire -- are over, an award for best country will be named.

Shandi Quinton, 6, was brought before a jury Wednesday in a wheelchair as the trial got under way that will decide if her mother is guilty of causing her injuries.
Shandi suffered severe injuries to her brain and several fractured bones when she was 3 months old. Prosecutors allege the injuries were inflicted when her mother, Angie Marie Jaramillo, violently shook Shandi when she was an infant.
During the first day of testimony in Jaramillo's trial, Dr. Rafael Garcia said Shandi's injuries are consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
"I believe this baby was probably repeatedly shaken," Garcia said. X-rays and other examinations showed she may have experienced similar trauma in the past, he said. "We're talking about extraordinary force."
Shandi was born two months premature, which Jaramillo's attorney Richard Wardroup told the jury may account for the health problems she experienced and may have made her more vulnerable to being hurt.
Debra Adams, Shandi's nurse, said the girl is unable to speak and is fed through a tube.
"She would respond to touch, but she doesn't do that anymore," Adams said. "She can only respond by crying and that's only when she's hurt."
The girl has been under the care of her paternal grandparents and foster parents since the alleged incident on July 14, 1993, she said.
Wanda Rodriguez, one of Jaramillo's neighbors, said she believes she heard the mother abusing Shandi while visiting her a month before the girl was admitted into a Lubbock hospital in critical condition.
"I heard the baby back there crying. I heard Angie tell the baby to shut up," in an angry voice, Rodriguez testified. "I heard a smack."
She said the noise she heard could have been a clap rather than a slap.
Rodriguez also told the jury Jaramillo was careless with Shandi.
"She would flip her a lot of tossing and turning," she said. "Basically, it was like flipping a pizza dough."
The state rested its case on Wednesday. Testimony will continue this morning in the 72nd District Court.

Fatah and Hamas will meet in Cairo on Wednesday in a bid to continue reconciliation talks, according to Fatah Central Committee member Azam al-Ahmad.
Ahmad, who is in charge of reconciliation affairs, told the official Palestinian radio station discussions on Mahmoud Abbas' national consensus government will start once the central election commission resumes its work. Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, stopped the commission's work in July 2012, leading to a halt in reconciliation talks.
Abbas met with Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal in Cairo last Wednesday after holding separate meetings with President Mohamed Morsy, who pledged to continue sponsoring efforts to achieve reconciliation.
The meeting wrapped up with both sides agreeing to start talks over forming a consensus government headed by Abbas, as well as the dates for national council, parliamentary and presidential elections.
Hamas and Fatah have signed two reconciliation agreements, one in May 2010 sponsored by Egypt and one in February 2011 sponsored by Qatar. Both agreements called for a unity government to end the internal Palestinian conflict that has simmered since 2007.
However, disputes prevented the agreements from being implemented. Fatah insisted that a date for elections had to be set, while Hamas said that all conflict between the two sides had to first cease.
Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr had said earlier Sunday that he hoped that a Palestinian reconciliation could be achieved, saying it would be in the interests of all Palestinian parties.
Amr's remarks came after the talks held between Amr and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Foreign Minister Riyadh al-Malky of the Fatah-led Palestinian government on Sunday evening. They discussed the financial and economic difficulties experienced by the Palestinian people.
"Talks over the peace file are taking place," said the Egyptian Minister, "We listened to the Palestinian party and we will see [as to] the possibility of pushing this file [forward] in the coming period."
Egypt is working to help lift the Palestinian Authority from its current financial crisis. Amr said that the financial crisis was raised during his talks with the EU Council president, as well as with donor countries.
Amr added that Palestinian-Israeli talks are taking place over Tel Aviv's cutting of funds to the Palestinian Authority.
He stressed that the current Israeli settlement policy is unacceptable, saying, "We hope in the coming period after the upcoming Israeli elections and the formation of the new US administration that serious action be taken."
Meanwhile, Hamas said Monday it will sign a final protocol with the Egyptian government Thursday to import building material and other materials for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
Materials will be delivered to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, Hamas's Minister of Public Works and Housing, Yousef al-Ghariz, said in a press statement.
Signatories to the protocol include the state of Qatar, which is the prime donor for the reconstruction efforts, as well as the Egyptian Ministry of Housing and Urban Communities and the company providing materials, Ghariz added, saying that the materials include light and heavy machinery, at prices less than those on the local Palestinian market.
On 29 December, Egyptian authorities allowed Gaza to import the first batch of building materials, which were transported on 20 lorries.
In October, the chairman of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza, Mohamed al-Emadi, said all materials would be sent through Egypt rather than Israel, unlike other international reconstruction initiatives.
Qatar has donated US$407 million for Gaza reconstruction. More than 20 reconstruction projects financed by the Gulf country began two weeks ago.

Are you a treasure hunter? Do you love shopping at second-hand stores, thrift shops and/or garage/estate sales? Does the thrill of the hunt actually give you thrills? If so, I want to hear from you because we are kindred spirits.
Initially, I figured I became a junker about 16 years ago when we built a beach house, and I came up with the idea of filling it with gently used furniture for a minimum amount of money, just like the stories and pictures you see in trendy magazines.
But deep in the recesses of my feeble mind, I believe I was introduced to junking as a child when I accompanied my bargain-hunter mother to a railroad salvage store in downtown Savannah where she bought lamps and slightly damaged end tables. The place — known to our family as "Mr. Raines'" — was packed to the gills with stuff.
Of course, I also must credit my Aunt Louise Powers Robey for passing on the treasure-hunting gene. Louise and her husband, Curry, were pack rats extraordinaire. But that state of mind was partially due to the generation in which they were raised. Their mantra was "save everything" — odd pieces of wood, magazines from the turn of the last century and stacks of free postcards from motels (showing the Mom and Pop motel, the pool and the parking lot.) Who knows? You might eventually need something out of the everything pile.
I must admit, though, my inner-treasure-hunter self didn't surface until recent Tybee days – the last few years when I began searching for furniture. I was hooked after I scored a fabulous pine coffee table for a mere $15. We have since moved to another beach house and still have the coffee table, which incidentally, makes an ideal resting spot for sandy feet. Sitting on top of the table is a large hammered aluminum tray that doubles as a magazine holder. Nearby are other treasures — vintage made-in-Japan ceramic bookends, a miniature turtle (wearing glasses) made of tiny seashells and a 45 rpm record of "Polly Wolly Doodle." I consider the snazzy crab painting I paid 50 cents as my piece de resistance.
Naturally, these and a few more of favorite things have spilled into our house in town and are stashed in my garage. Some family members — I refuse to name names – accuse me of being a hoarder. Mind you, the dozen or so empty frames are awaiting pictures I have yet to find, and the tiny ceramic animals remind me of the fifth-grade when I bought similar ones in the basement at Woolworth's on Broughton Street. How dare these unnamed accusers compare my sentimental collections of hammered aluminum, aquarium furniture, children's books and vintage postcards to those TV weirdos who can't walk through their houses because of the junk they've accumulated?
My zaniest moment to date came in recent years when I flagged down a motorist on Victory Drive who had a pickup truck full of antique sewing machines that he was hauling to the scrap metal place. (I discovered this during a conversation at a red light. I made an offer on the machines at the next traffic signal.)
About five years ago I found a market for many of my treasures in a booth at Seaside Sisters on Tybee Island. Among the items nestled in my area are various books, a couple of wooden ironing boards, a few souvenir state plates, two or three mirrors and a vintage, industrial looking cart that I'm secretly hoping won't sell so I can put it in my house. Sadly, the oak card catalog that I found several months ago is long gone. It was somewhat a link to my past and brought to mind childhood days when I rode my bicycle to the Bull Street library and left it unlocked in front of the building. Of course, the bike was still there when I came out.
I would love to hear about your treasures — or the ones that got away. Shoot me an email or drop me a line at 5 Majestic Oaks Circle, Savannah, GA 31406. Meanwhile, I'll be hunting for my next big find.
Contact Polly at 912-352-8670 or email@example.com.

Machina Kunagiri - Final Fantasy Type-0
In Progress
another Type 0 cosplayer! ^^ progress is looking awesome on yours, can't wait to see it finished!
I cant belive you dont have 100's of great comments for this cosplay. Your progress shot shows you have work sooo hard. :) Cant wait to see this finished. :3
Progress shot looks awesome :D Love the detail on the cloak fastener! If it's not an odd question, what sort of neckline/hole do you have for your cloak? I'm having real trouble getting Ace's cloak to sit nicely across both the shoulders and the back (yeah I know Ace's cloak is different to Machina's, but they both sit half-over the shoulders and stuff...) ^__^;
Really great cosplay! Out of interest how did you go about making you shoulder pauldrons?
Amazing cosplay!!!
Progress Journal
I've been wasting a lot of time recently playing the demo, and everytime I saw these moogles, I kept thinking that I had to try and make one. This is my first attempt at something like this, so I'm fairly happy with the result, but the next one should be a lot better. I ended getting a lot of the fabric so I may make the whole army!!!

Developers wanting to build a 'logical extension to Red Lodge' have offered cash and land for a new primary school.
In a briefing to Forest Heath district councillors on Tuesday, Kathryn Slater, planning consultant for developers Crest Nicholson said Suffolk County Council had decided it wanted a second primary school in Red Lodge so Crest would give 0.81ha of land and £3.44 million funding.
It wants to build 371 homes on 17ha to the north of the existing development and on sites of 0.06ha and 0.8ha south of the village centre and has put in detailed planning application for the first phase of 106 homes.
The northern plot is a greenfield site but Ms Slater said: "It is clearly a logical extension to the Red Lodge/King's Warren development.
"This site is located within the settlement boundary of a key service centre."
The application will go before the development control committee on July 2.

There is much value in a large range of solid and gaseous waste materials generated in the process of making steel. Their scientific recycling offers multiple benefits to steelmakers, as it helps keep the environment clean. Commercial gains from waste recycling and the privilege of wearing a 'friends of environment' badge are reasons for progressive steelmakers like SAIL and Tata Steel to pursue zero waste target. In an era of high cost of raw materials and energy and the government ever raising the bar on clean environment norms, the steel industry remains under pressure to invest in technologies for reduction in waste generation and optimum recycling of metallics derived from slag and sludge.
Unarguably the most environment friendly group in the industry, Tata Steel has been able to achieve an 85 per cent rate of recycling of solid waste generated from the blast furnace (BF) areas, where hot metal is made, to rolling mills wherefrom finished steel products come, either in its own plant or by way of selling as input materials to other industries. Pressure is building on steelmakers to send minimum waste to landfills because of growing space constraint and environment hazards. Simila-rly, as all industries will have to make do with lesser water, steelmakers, big users of water, will only at their own peril not commit themselves to total recirculation, except for what is lost to evaporation.
"We need a holistic appr-oach to waste management and recycling of anything of value extractable from waste materials. The exercise, ideally, should start before iron ore and coke are fed into BF. Beneficiated iron ore will have much reduced gangue content and washed coal will give coke with low ash. Feeding of such clean materials in BFs will offer twin benefits. As BF energy efficiency and productivity will improve, it will be possible to bring down slag generation from a high of 400 kg a tonne of hot metal to 250 kg, which is the case with many steel plants abroad," says SAIL chairman Chandra Sekhar Verma.
In fact, in the industry's scheme of things, beneficiation should get high priority, as that would permit use of low grade iron ore and fines. Seeing all these as waste materials will be considered a sacrilege in many parts of the world, including China, where ore with 25 per cent iron and less is beneficiated.
In fact, it is time our steelmakers with captive iron ore mines and merchant miners had made it a practice to recover the mineral from slime in tailings dams, an environment hazard. SAIL wants a third party to recover and then beneficiated iron ore from slime and run a one-million-tonne (mt) pellet plant downstream on a conversion cost basis. The steel lobby had the government's ear when export duty on lump ore and fines was raised to 30 per cent and basic customs levy on ore beneficiation and pellet plants reduced to 2.5 per cent from 7.5 per cent. All this was done to conserve a natural resource for local use. The ball is now in the industry's court to rapidly step up pelletisation capacity from the present 18 mt. Recycling in the steel industry has got to start from this point.
Let's have a quick run through all the areas in a steel plant where waste is generated but offering scope for recovery of metallics, gases and heat for recycling. Slag that comes as BF residue blends well in a granulated form with clinker and gypsum for production of cement. This way around 90 per cent of slag gets recycled earning revenue for the steelmaker. Slag, which comes out of steel melting shop (SMS)-basic oxygen furnace (BOF), is of much higher value, for it contains 10 per cent steel. So at SMS-BOF, generation of 150 kg slag for one tonne of steel will allow extraction of 15 kg of steel scrap through magnetic separation. Recycling here happens by way of melting scrap in furnaces. Post extraction of steel, SMS-BOF slag finds use in road construction and making of railway ballast. Going a step forward, some mills in China and South Korea are granulating this slag for making tiles and cement and for use in mine stowing.
In economy of water use and its recycling, Tata Steel, SAIL and some others are not far behind best global practices. The ones in the forefront of conservation are doing with about 3.75 cubic metres of water per tonne of crude steel. At the same time, there are many over-indulgent steelmakers, particularly in the induction furnace sector, which use six cubic metres of water and more per tonne of steel. Gases available in BF and SMS-BOF as by-products are recycled in the plant as fuel. Dusts separated from such gases have in them iron and they go into the making of briquettes fed into a BF. "Responsible steelmakers remain vigorous in their pursuit of waste recycling. To the extent there is recycling of metallics and coal, the mining intensity will be less giving a boost to resource conservation. Our target is to ensure no valuable materials find their way to landfills," says Verma.

Peanut butter is a staple of the American diet. Unless you're allergic, you've likely had hundreds of peanut butter sandwiches between school, work, summers, wherever.
And there's good news for all those peanut butter lovers: There's a bumper crop of peanuts this year[1]. Unlike the drought that's hammering crops in the rest of the country, American peanut farmers are seeing their yields increase by two-thirds or more, according to the Associated Press. Between the good weather and high production American farmers are expected to produce 3 million tons of peanuts this year.
That means a bigger supply and likely lower prices for peanut butter and other peanut-based products in 2013.
Last year's disastrous crop forced higher prices[2] on foods like Kraft Foods' (NASDAQ:KRFT[3]) Planters peanuts and J.M. Smucker's (NYSE:SJM[4]) Jif peanut butter.
It's expected that 2012's good year will bring prices down through oversupply, though how much prices will fall are an unknown for now.

A South Korean missionary says North Korean officials are holding two American journalists and their guide after arresting them near the North Korean-Chinese border.
The Rev. Chun Ki-won of the Seoul-based Doorihana Mission told The Associated Press by telephone Thursday that he was informed the three were arrested two days earlier near the border.
He identified them as Laura Ling and Euna Kim, reporters for the online media outlet Current TV.
Chun says he met the two in Seoul to give them advice for their reporting trip to the border, and last spoke to them Tuesday morning as they were heading northwest toward the Chinese border city of Dandong.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korean guards detained two American journalists near the country's border with China when they ignored orders to stop shooting video, South Korean media reports said Thursday.
The reporters, both women, were arrested Tuesday near the northern border and were being held in North Korea, the Yonhap news agency said, citing unnamed diplomatic sources. YTN television said the women were detained near the Tumen River in the far northeast.
The journalists were detained after ignoring soldiers' orders to stop filming, the reports said. Yonhap said they were arrested in North Korea but YTN said the guards crossed into Chinese territory to arrest them.
Both women were working for online media, the reports said, with YTN identifying one of the women as a Korean American from California with the surname Park.
The U.S. Embassy in Seoul had no information Thursday about the reported arrests, spokesman Aaron Tarver said. In Washington, State Department officials were unavailable for comment overnight.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Moon Tae-young told reporters he had no comment.
Earlier Thursday, the Munwha Ilbo newspaper said a female reporter was detained Tuesday in the border region along the Yalu River dividing China and North Korea. The report cited unnamed diplomatic sources in Seoul. The paper identified her as a reporter named "Ming" working for a U.S. television station.
Both the Tumen and Yalu rivers are frequent crossing points for both trade and the growing number of North Koreans seeking to escape through the porous border. The famine in North Korea and an economic boom in China have proved an attractive combination, with tens of thousands of North Koreans crossing into China in search of food, medicines, jobs or escape.
The Chinese government complains about the incidents but most incursions are dealt with quietly if at all. Chinese living on the border say North Korean spies have long acted with impunity when policing or trying to retrieve their own people.
Foreign journalists standing on the Chinese side of the border are often jeered at by North Korean border guards, some brandishing rifles just steps away.
South Korean missionaries assisting North Korean refugees have also been at risk. In 2000, the Rev. Kim Dong-shik was kidnapped from the Chinese border city of Yanbian and taken to North Korea.
North Korea's premier Kim Yong Il has been holding discussions with senior Chinese government officials in Beijing this week, and was meeting Premier Wen Jiabao later Thursday.

I read the Facebook post on Natasha Navas on the prompting of my girlfriend out in Barbados who sounded so distressed.
You are here
Don't serve the coffee too hot
What's worse? Bad coffee, or no coffee at all? Either one seems like a terrible prospect but that is exactly what climate change is brewing for us. Climate change is pushing up temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, and that's going to result in a bitter cup of coffee for both billions of consumers and millions of growers.
You drink two kinds of coffee: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is good for about 70 per cent of world consumption; Robusta 30 per cent. For the consumer the difference is one of taste. Generally speaking, if you drink "real" coffee, brewed from a ground bean, it's going to be the smoother tasting Arabica bean. Instant coffee is usually made from lower quality, harsh tasting Robusta beans.
My grandfather had a cocoa estate in Gran Couva. There weren't many coffee trees, but he had a few planted along the estate traces, as a secondary crop. One of my earliest memories is helping one of the workers pick the tiny fruit from the coffee trees. I probably got more in her way than that I helped, but it left an impression on me.
My grandfather's pride was his cocoa. Trinidad's cocoa is among the best in the world. Our coffee on the other hand, less so. It's too hot for it to grow properly here. And that's very much what this article is about.
