What's been going on around the National League in the past week? Tristan H. Cockcroft takes a quick-hitting look at the news and notes for each of the 16 NL teams:
National League East
Atlanta Braves: Matt Diaz picked up a rare start against a right-hander Friday, his second in the Braves' past three games against a righty and his eighth against that side all season. By comparison, he had started all 57 of the Braves' games against left-handers, batting .368 with a .395 on-base percentage and .614 slugging percentage in 186 plate appearances. Diaz definitely deserves more of a chance against righties, though, with .320/.358/.422 rates against that side, in range of Willie Harris' .300/.375/.435 numbers against right-handers this season. With Harris in a bit of a slide, though, batting only .154 (10-for-65) with no homers and 17 strikeouts in his past 24 games, don't be surprised if the Braves work Diaz into the mix more regularly in September. NL-only and deep-mixed owners should consider picking up the veteran, who contributes better-than-expected numbers in batting average and could help the counting numbers with more at-bats.
Florida Marlins: Henry Owens, the Marlins' closer for a brief period in late April/early May, underwent surgery Thursday to repair a damaged rotator cuff. He hadn't pitched in a game since June 8 because of inflammation. Owens won't resume a throwing program for at least six months, putting that timetable about the beginning of March, meaning he'll probably miss the majority of the 2008 season, as well. It's a real shame for the 28-year-old, who briefly looked like a future closer hopeful, thanks to a 1.96 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and .216 BAA in 22 relief appearances for the Marlins this season. Those of you in NL-only or deep-mixed keeper leagues should take note of sophomore Jeremy Hermida's emergence of late. Since July 1, he's a .339 hitter with a .417 on-base percentage and .563 slugging percentage in 55 games, making good on his top-prospect status from the past couple of seasons. He continues to flash a troublesome strikeout rate -- one per 4.58 at-bats in that span -- but it seems Hermida is beginning to figure out big league pitching. He might be a surprise breakout in 2008, though it'd be nice to see him steal some bases, as he did in the minors. He has no steals since June 30, and no attempts since July 15.
New York Mets: Pedro Martinez marked his return from rotator cuff surgery with a five-inning, three-run (two earned) effort against the Reds on Monday, an encouraging outing yet one that shouldn't inflate his fantasy owners' expectations. As he did in his four minor league rehabilitation starts, in which he had a 4.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and .219 BAA, he hit only 82 mph on the radar gun with his first pitch, stayed in the mid-80s for most of his pitches and never topped 89. That's quite a bit down from Martinez's usual mid-90s levels from his prime, and it's unlikely he'll be able to get back to those levels at any point this season. He should be able to add a few ticks to the radar gun in each successive performance, and at this stage of his career, the right-hander is committed to using guile and command instead of pure power to set down hitters, but be prepared for the occasional struggles as he works back to full health. Stamina is also a concern for Martinez. Remember that the Mets are most concerned about getting him up to a full workload for the postseason, not helping fantasy owners in the final weeks of the regular season.
Philadelphia Phillies: Cole Hamels suffered a setback Thursday in his return from a strained left elbow, experiencing soreness during a bullpen session. He had been scheduled to return to the rotation Sunday, but a report in phillyBurbs.com has the left-hander at only 80 percent health, meaning he'll presumably miss another week or two. Expect the Phillies to remain cautious with their young ace, despite their standing in the playoff race, meaning Hamels' owners shouldn't be counting on much from him the rest of the season. The good news: The Phillies' conservative approach with Hamels should help assure he's at peak form to begin the 2008 season. Freddy Garcia finally succumbed to the knife Thursday, undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum. That'll likely cost him a significant chunk of the 2008 season, and with him set for free agency this winter, he'll probably need to sign an incentive-laden deal with another team and hope for a shot at a rotation spot by midseason. The timing of Garcia's operation means his chances at a noticeable fantasy impact next year take a real hit, but check back on him in the spring.
Washington Nationals: John Patterson, who hasn't pitched in a big league game since May 5 or a minor league contest since June 21, will undergo season-ending surgery to decompress the radial nerve in his right arm. He told The Washington Post on Friday that he hasn't felt healthy since March 8, when he faced Nationals minor leaguers in a minor league game, beginning a six-month trek during which he tried everything he could to avoid an operation. Among the treatments: He traveled to Toronto in June and July to undergo a procedure involving injections that isn't approved in the United States; details weren't made public by the team. Patterson should be fully healthy in time for spring training, but considering he has made only 15 big league starts since the start of last season, and 20 total accounting for minor league rehab starts, he'll be at least as risky a bet for 2008 as he was entering this season. He hasn't truly been 100 percent in more than 16 months, despite what he says.
National League Central
Chicago Cubs: In a bit of a curious move, the Cubs acquired veteran right-hander -- and former Cub -- Steve Trachsel from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday for third baseman Scott Moore and reliever Rocky Cherry. Trachsel will join the rotation immediately, supplanting left-hander Sean Marshall, an odd decision considering Marshall's ERA (3.98), WHIP (1.34) and BAA (.263) are all better than Trachsel's numbers (4.48/1.56/.279). It's unclear whether the move will be for only one trip through the rotation; manager Lou Piniella mentioned he's considering a six-man rotation in September. For now, though, NL-only owners can consider adding Trachsel and using him based solely on the matchups. He'll stand a better chance at success out of the American League East because he no longer will face the Red Sox and Yankees lineups, but it's tough for a guy to succeed when he has noticeably more walks (69) than strikeouts (45) for the season. Marshall's owners in NL-only formats should keep him on hand in case Trachsel struggles initially.
Cincinnati Reds: Top prospects are the name of the game in Cincinnati now that rosters have expanded to 40 players, though the news regarding the team's best kids isn't as good as fantasy owners could have hoped. First baseman Joey Votto was scheduled to be promoted Tuesday from Triple-A Louisville, where he finished the season batting .294 with 22 homers, 92 RBIs and 17 stolen bases in 133 games. Interim manager Pete Mackanin told The Cincinnati Post that Votto would play the most of any of the team's September call-ups, splitting his time between first base and left field, though the amount of the rookie's playing time has yet to be determined. NL-only owners can add Votto, but keep him on reserve until it's clear whether he'll get regular at-bats, something he should receive as the team turns its focus toward 2008. Outfielder Jay Bruce, Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year after he managed .319/.375/.587 rates in 133 games among Class A Sarasota, Double-A Chattanooga and Louisville, won't be recalled, however. He almost assuredly will get a long look for a starting role next spring, but the development does hurt his chances at being in the Opening Day 2008 lineup. Finally, right-hander Homer Bailey, who had a 6.99 ERA in six starts for the Reds earlier this season, is unlikely to return to the team. He'll continue to work out in Sarasota, Fla., after pitching with Louisville recently, and will be a strong candidate for the 2008 rotation. Bailey likely will need a solid spring training to break camp as a starter, though.
Houston Astros: Chris Sampson was activated from the DL on Friday, though his monthlong absence with an elbow injury means he'll be limited to bullpen status for the remainder of the season. It's a bit of a shame for NL-only owners because the right-hander had a 4.64 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and .291 BAA in 19 starts earlier in the year, serving as a decent matchups consideration at times. Surprisingly, however, although Sampson is now in the bullpen, Brandon Backe will mark his return from Tommy John surgery as a member of the rotation. Backe was scheduled to start Tuesday's game at Milwaukee, only three days short of the one-year anniversary of his operation, after managing 4.50/1.50/.280 numbers in six minor league rehabilitation starts, five of them for Triple-A Round Rock. He's unlikely to get up to a full starter's workload at any point this season, but his status as a member of the rotation should help gear him up better for 2008. Don't bother adding Backe to fantasy rosters, but if he finishes strong, he could be an NL-only sleeper for next season.
Milwaukee Brewers: With injuries continuing to hit the Brewers' rotation, Yovani Gallardo and Ben Sheets likely will be pushed harder than they might have otherwise the remainder of the season. Gallardo, who had a 7.55 ERA in six August starts, already has logged 155 innings as a rookie between the Brewers and Triple-A Nashville this season, exactly the number he had in the minors in 2006 and only 20 short of the team's planned cap for the right-hander. There's still a chance he occasionally could be skipped, shifted to the bullpen or shut down entirely, although as long as the Brewers remain in the playoff race, he'll stand his best chance at a full starter's workload. Sheets, meanwhile, tossed 118 pitches Monday in his second start since returning from the DL, and he has a 1.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and .262 BAA in back-to-back quality starts. He'll be at greater risk to get hurt again if the Brewers keep his pitch counts that high, but it's also a sign the team believes he's fully healthy, meaning you should trust him until such time as he suffers a setback. Rookie Manny Parra was placed on the DL on Friday with a broken left thumb, opening up the fifth-starter role for Carlos Villanueva. Villanueva, who had a respectable 2.93 ERA in 35 relief appearances and allowed one run in five innings in one spot start before the All-Star break, isn't a bad NL-only matchups consideration for as long as he remains in the rotation. Expect him to fill in anytime the team needs in September.
Pittsburgh Pirates: It took five years, three months and one day from the date he was selected first overall in the 2002 amateur draft, but Bryan Bullington is finally set to make his major league debut Wednesday at St. Louis. He was 11-9 with a 4.00 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and .262 BAA in 26 starts for Triple-A Indianapolis, good but not great numbers, limiting his appeal to NL-only formats. Bullington isn't nearly the prospect he was at the time he was drafted, having missed all of the 2006 season because of shoulder surgery, meaning he's best stashed on a bench to see how he fares the next couple of weeks. In the best-case scenario, he has a useful matchup or two to exploit and makes a run for the 2008 rotation, perhaps winding up an NL-only sleeper. Zach Duke (elbow) is on the mend, though a poor performance in his most recent rehabilitation start for Indianapolis on Saturday -- 3 2/3 IP, 7 H, 2 ER -- will keep him from returning in the Pirates' open rotation spot Thursday. He'll pitch for Class A State College instead, then likely return next week. At this late stage of the season, Duke seems highly unlikely to make a fantasy impact, with anything he does in September more relevant to his chances for 2008.
St. Louis Cardinals: Juan Encarnacion is out for the season, and his baseball career might be in doubt, after he suffered multiple fractures of his left eye socket when he was hit by a foul ball Friday. He remains in the hospital and might have suffered a permanent loss of vision when he was hit by Aaron Miles' foul ball while standing in the on-deck circle. We can only hope for the best for Encarnacion in his recovery, but with him sidelined, expect Rick Ankiel to pick up everyday at-bats in right field for the remainder of the year. With .353/.382/.676 rates in 19 games thus far, including .474/.429/.947 in 21 plate appearances against left-handers, Ankiel hasn't been a bad pickup for NL-only and even mixed-league owners thus far. Scott Rolen is also out for the season after being placed on the DL on Friday with a sore left shoulder. He'll soon undergo an operation to clean up scar tissue, one that will cost him 6-8 weeks' recovery time, leaving third base in the hands of Brendan Ryan, and -- to a lesser extent -- perhaps newly acquired Russell Branyan against right-handers. Ryan warrants deep NL-only attention, but Branyan would be only an interesting spot-start type in leagues with daily transactions.
National League West
Arizona Diamondbacks: Arizona continues to seek fifth-starter candidates, and it probably will again after Dana Eveland was shelled for five runs in 2 2/3 innings on Saturday. The left-hander, who came over with Doug Davis in the Johnny Estrada trade, had a 1.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and .271 BAA in seven games (five starts) for Triple-A Tucson, though he missed three months with a partial tear of the tendon sheath on his throwing hand. He presumably will finish the year pitching in low-pressure situations, turning his rotation spot over to some mix of Edgar Gonzalez, Yusmeiro Petit or perhaps Dustin Nippert the remainder of the year. With the D-backs' offense not providing much in the way of run support this season, though, don't count on any value from the bunch, even in matchup situations. Carlos Quentin was activated from the DL on Saturday and could push rookie Justin Upton for at-bats in right field with a hot start. Quentin had a pinch-hit RBI double Monday; by comparison, Upton is hitting .204 (11-for-54) with no homers and 16 strikeouts in his past 15 games. Upton, only 20 years old, remains far more useful in keeper formats, and might have limited value in yearly formats the rest of the year.
Colorado Rockies: Both Aaron Cook (oblique injury) and Jason Hirsh (fractured fibula) have been ruled out for the year; Cook aggravated his injury during a rehabilitation start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday, and Hirsh's leg hasn't healed as quickly as the Rockies had hoped. That will force Elmer Dessens, he of the 8.10 ERA in four starts for the Rockies, to remain in the rotation, but, more importantly, it'll virtually assure that rookies Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales will stay starters the rest of the year. Morales, optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs after his start last Tuesday, should be recalled to pitch this Tuesday after managing a respectable 4.40 ERA despite a shaky 1.81 WHIP in his first three MLB starts. Neither pitcher should be a trusted fantasy option, though, especially given that the Rockies and their opponents have combined to average 12.2 runs per game at Coors Field since July 1 and 15 of their final 25 games will be played at home. Use this time as more of an evaluation period for either pitcher for 2008.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Los Angeles claimed Esteban Loaiza off waivers from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, installing him directly into its rotation in place of Eric Stults. Loaiza won his Dodgers debut Sunday, tossing seven innings of three-run, nine-hit ball, marking his third consecutive quality start since returning from the DL on Aug. 22. NL-only owners can go ahead and pick him up, and those in more shallow leagues can consider him a matchups type; his Dodgers do play six more games apiece against the Diamondbacks and Giants and three against the Padres, each of which is a weak-hitting team. Top prospect Andy LaRoche was summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday after batting .373 (50-for-134) with 15 homers and 35 RBIs in 38 games there since returning June 30 from shoulder trouble. He should sneak in at least half the playing time at third base, robbing Shea Hillenbrand of much of his appeal, though there's no guarantee he will do so. After all, Nomar Garciaparra (calf) could be back from the DL as early as Tuesday, creating a logjam at third base. Expect a time-share between the three the remainder of the year, limiting their fantasy value.
San Diego Padres: The Padres activated Michael Barrett from the DL on Saturday, presumably dropping their catcher spot back into a time-share between him and Josh Bard. Barrett had actually started only 25 of the team's 45 games between the time he came over in a trade from the Cubs on June 20 and his DL stint, and at best should count on only 50 percent of the at-bats behind the plate the remainder of the year. After all, he has only .234/.241/.290 numbers in 32 games for the Padres and Bard has batted .262 (16-for-61) with 14 RBIs in 20 games since Barrett got hurt. Neither should be a particularly appealing fantasy choice the rest of the year, but Bard should be at least as good a bet as Barrett as an NL-only No. 2 catcher. The Padres continue the search for a viable No. 5 starter, with minor league veteran Jack Cassel the fifth pitcher they have tried in that spot. He allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings Friday, perhaps enough to earn him another start, though his 7-14 record, 3.91 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and .315 BAA in 27 games (24 starts) for Triple-A Portland don't bode well for his chances at continued success at the big league level. Clay Hensley could yet get another shot at the role before season's end.
San Francisco Giants: The time of the year for teams to rest rookie pitchers has arrived, and with the Giants out of the race, expect Tim Lincecum to be skipped or pushed back in the rotation as much as possible to limit his innings the remainder of the season. Between his 130 1/3 innings for the Giants and 31 for Triple-A Fresno, he has logged 161 1/3 frames this season; that's 4 1/3 more than he pitched between the University of Washington and the minor leagues in 2006. There hasn't been any formal announcement of what cap the Giants plan to put on Lincecum's innings, but be prepared for the team to play conservatively with the 23-year-old's schedule in September. Jonathan Sanchez took his spot Saturday, pushing the right-hander back to Tuesday, and that arrangement could take place a couple more times in the coming weeks. In fact, Sanchez -- who tossed a respectable 5 1/3 innings Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits -- might not be a bad NL-only matchups option while the Giants spot him in to keep their other youngsters fresh.

Marlin 30AS Mods
I have a Marlin 30AS 30-30 (I believe purchased in 1985 or 1986) that I purchased from a friend a couple of years ago. It shoots pretty well (I haven't shot it all that much). I am going to use it as a backup for hunting season this year and would like to modify it this coming winter. I figured I'd post on here for suggestions after receiving great advice on my Ruger M77. ere is what I have in mind:
1. Trigger - Either replace with a Happy-Trigger kit or work on the existing one. I would like the trigger to be around 3.5 pounds. Which is the better option for the money. I have basic tools and am fairly handy.
2. Replace the factory stock with a black laminate stock. Any suggestions on where I can pick one up for under $200? Are there any issues with my model (forend cap, etc)?
3. I read somewhere about modifying the length of the magazine tube? Is this necessary and how would I do it? What are the benefits/disadvantages of my rifle with the forend cap as opposed to those with the barrel bands?
4. There is currently a Tasco 4x scope on it. What would be a good upgrade in this department?
5. It has a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad on it. I know this pad is at least 10 years old (and could be a lot older). Is there any benefit on putting on a new one (has the technology/models changed at all)?
6. Finish - The rifle is currently blued and in good condition (no rust, bluing not worn). However, I think the rifle with a black laminate stock looks a lot better with a stainless/silver finish. Any suggestions on this? I've seen NP3 finishes by Robar and it looks very nice but spending over $400 on a rifle that isn't even worth that much seems like a lot. I've also seen Cerakote finish but I'm worried about durability.
7. I've never really torn down the entire rifle and cleaned/oiled it. Any "how to's" on this? Any specific area of concern?
8. I'm currently using reloads of Speer 170 grain bullets with 32 grains of W-W748 powder. Any suggestions on other reloads to try?
9. Any other mod suggestions?

That's a Burris 2X pistol scope on an XS Sight Systems Leverscout Mount.
Works pretty well.

Try this:
Holding the gun at port arms or low ready, look at a target.
Close your eyes.
Keeping your eyes closed, bring your gun to your shoulder, with the stock to your cheek, pointing it at your target.
Open your eyes. What do you see?
If you are looking at scope bases or a black/partial FOV in your scope, then your stock's comb height does not fit your scope's line of sight. You need to raise the comb height until when you bring the gun up, you see a full field of view with the reticle centered in the scope.
If you use a properly set up low power scout scope, with practice you will see the target with the reticle appearing on it when you open your eyes.

Actually mate you have a pretty nice looking Marlin there. With all this money your talking about spending I would find a nice used VariX 2 or VX1, 2x7 or 1x4 variable power Leupold scope (gloss finish of course). The 1x4 would be pretty sweet on your gun and you could mount it really close and low with Leupold extra low rings. Tear down on a Marlin is very easy, open the lever and remove the lever screw, the lever, ejector and bolt will come out. Further tear down is pretty straight forward. No barrel band may be better for accuracy.

There are a lot of good stickies on triggers, stocks etc. over at Marlinowners.com. I have customized my rifles quite a bit. The trigger work is easy. You might get lucky posting over there what type of stock you are looking for. The laminates go very fast. The forend cap is thought to be more accurate than the band. There is no reason to change out capacity unless you want too. I would leave the magazine tube alone, get low 63B weaver rings if you are cheap, or warne rigs if you want to spend, and get a nice 2-7x Leupold. I will make the most out of your gun. It will be hard to beat the performance of the configuration you have if you manage to do the trigger job. I load many different loads, but my favorites are a 170 gr. bullet with 34 gr of BL-C2 or a max load of leverevolution and Hornady's 160 gr FTX. Both with Winchester primers and brass.
I have not even come close to the velocity and accuracy of leverevolution powder (150, 160, and 170gr) with any other powder.

The Tasco scope on your rifle appears to be a 4X40 made in Japan. Actually, this is a good scope and miles better than the current Tasco 4X32s made in China.
If this were my gun, I would leave the scope on it and find another one on the internet for a backup. You can find them in the $25 range. A lot of scope for the money.
Strip your gun and clean very well. There are several disassembly videos on Youtube. Then using fine emery cloth on a flat surface, polish the lever and extractor and extractor groove. You might be able to clean up the action enough so that you do not need to spend big bucks on a happy trigger.
Carefully inspect the rifling at the muzzle. Often times, cleaning with a rod from the muzzle will booger up your rifling. The cure is a counterbore or chopping off part of the barrel and re-crowning. A good machinist can counterbore just past the mangled rifling.
learn to cast bullets for it and enjoy being able to shoot hundreds of range practice rounds instead of dozens of commercial loads.

Rob Zombie Directs Woolite Commercial
The guy who brought us "House of 1,000 Corpses" now cares about cleaning your delicates.
Rob Zombie says on his web site he had "a very odd directing gig" in Vancouver, which he describes as "A very scary TV commercial for Woolite called 'The Torturer.'
Yes, I said Woolite." He says he can't show too much yet, but the photos he's posted show an old house in an overgrown yard, plus a scarecrow.

The Judgement Debt Commission was on Wednesday told of how a prison officer, Mr Alfred Awusi, who was wrongfully dismissed from the Ghana Prison Service (GPS) in 1989, was paid GH¢5, 470 compensation in 2007.
Narrating the incident, the Managing Partner of Hayibor, Danso and Co Chambers, Mr Charles Hayibor, said Mr Awusi was wrongfully accused of flogging a prisoner in Sunyani and subsequently dismissed from the service.
He said Mr Awusi took the case to court, and the court gave a judgement that he had been transferred to Nsawam at the time he was accused of flogging the prisoner.
The court, therefore, directed the GPS to pay Mr Awusi the compensation of GH¢5,470, which was complied with in 2007.
Mr Hayibor said the court asked the GPS to reinstate Mr Awusi.
However, he said, the GPS wrote to the court that Mr Awusi could not be reinstated because of some conditions. Road compensation
The Chief Valuer of the Ghana Highways Authority, Mr Kofi Archer-Kwajan, also told the commission that 1,700 people in 67 towns and villages, who were affected by the Tarkwa-Bogoso-Ayanfuri road project, were paid compensation of 7,210,676.
He said 98 per cent of the affected people had been compensated, and indicated that the remaining two per cent might not have received the information for the payment of compensation. Ghana Telecom
When he took his turn, an associate member of Lexcom Chambers, Mr Kwabena Sarfo Mensah, told the commission that his firm only provided legal service on some specific areas to Ghana Telecom.
He said the firm did not play any role in the Ghana Telecom and Telecom Malaysia transaction.
Therefore, Mr Mensah said, his firm did not have any information on the project.

Happy Opening Day 2011!
Good morning, baseball is back! We're about 4 hours away from the first pitch and despite the weather, I'm pretty excited to be celebrating the holiday.

I know most of you guys down south have been complaining about Drought and lack of water etc. We up here in the Far North have been complaining about the winter that would not go away. Well now we have new problems. Here in Calgary Alberta and a few surrounding towns are being Absolutely FLOODED.
We have had ,freeky rain for the last couple weeks ,but ,in the last couple days the amounts have changed 10 fold. Most of this rain is/ was just up against the mountains and now is flooding back down all the major and minor creeks in the area. This is even before the Snow melt ,has even started.
Up to 100 thousand people had to be evacuuated from there homes , A small town (Highriver) is in Totall evacuation and nearby towns and citys are on standby.
We are two weeks away from Calgary Stampede,which next to NFR is the second biggest /highest paying rodeo in the two countries.The Stampede grounds which border our downtown belt line is under up to 10 ft of water. The Scotia Saddledome eour NHL Calgary Flames play, has water in the bowl up to nearly row 14.The Downtown core which borders A Major and a controlled minor river. Was in total evacuation ,yesterday sending Thousands that work or live downtown to LEAVE. Underpasses and train tunnels are full or completely submerged.
There has been nonstop media footage ,showing some spectacular sites and some of the devastation,including Fire dept jetboats running up and down streets etc helping people get out. Extra police have been sent in from Edmonton another Alberta city, and 1500 Canadian Army(Mostly Engineers) have come to help evaluate and help fix ,or repair....
I have grown up here all my life, and we have had a couple other big floods but Nothing close to this.
I would post pics ,but there is so much on the Web and youtube etc that its easier to see some of this this way.
On top of all this sadly my boat has YET to be used this season as the weather and commitments etc have prevented me using my boat, This was gonna be a ski weekend ....SADLY NOT. And no i would destroy my boat if i tryed running around town,so don't go there please.

SXSW Interview: Cheap TrickAustin Convention Center, Wednesday, March 17
Seeing Cheap Trick perform live – Friday night at Auditorium Shores, 8pm – is extremely entertaining, and the band's discussion of a more than 35-year-long career was just as much fun. Led by music writers Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times and Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Robin Zander spent more than a hour bouncing around the subject of their beginnings, hit records, album producers, and some of their most recent work. Unfortunately, drummer Bun Carlos was a no-show. "He's resting," Kot explained, which only lent Nielsen more time to tell some tales. "We didn't want to be like anybody else," the guitarist claimed in a discussion of the band's roots and the origins of their unusual visual style. "Now that I'm older, I'm the voice of reason. I hate it." Predictably, there was a good deal of Beatles talk. Not only did Cheap Trick recently perform the Sgt. Peppers album at the Hollywood Bowl, Nielsen played Yoko Ono on his phone saying how the band inspired John Lennon during the sessions that became Double Fantasy. They may be "everyone's fifth favorite band," as Zander alleged, but with Cheap Trick's absurd charm on full display, three-quarters of the band demonstrated why they remain No. 1 in people's hearts.

the "Lusitania",On May 7th 1915 Commander Schweiger of the German navy was patrolling in the submarine U-20 off the southern coast of Ireland. Three months earlier on February 4th the Germans, unwilling to challenge Allied superiority on the surface, had established a submarine blockade around the UK and had declared any vessel in it a legitimate target. At about 1.40p.m. Schweiger saw through his periscope a vessel approaching. Closer inspection identified it as Cunard's "Lusitania" on the final leg of its passage from New York to Liverpool. Seeing it as a "legitimate target" and after only initial hesitation he released two torpedoes, the first of which scored a direct hit. Within a mere 20 minutes the great liner sank along with almost 1200 of its passengers and crew, including the former Marplites. The repercussions of this act of gross inhumanity were enormous. Amongst the innocent victims were 128 American citizens, this caused a great outcry in the United States. The German response was to claim that they had given clear warning that the area in which the ship was sunk was a war zone. They also claimed that they had irrefutable proof that the ship was carrying war material from the Americans to the British. Winston Churchill, who was then British First Sea Lord, admitted to the presence of a small ... read more

Release Date: 2006 |
Hey buddy good review. I might have to give this album a listen I've only heard like 3 of their songs. My fav song from them is seattle. (pos'd)
Digging: Langhorne Slim - Lost At Last, Vol 1
Album Rating: 4.0They got better
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks. I was having issues finishing this. It felt like I couldn't get it to flow like I wanted to. Oh well, I hope it turned out alright.
They are a great band, you might enjoy them. I've been listening to them since they first came around, haven't been disappointed by them yet. Vagabonds is my least favorite album by them, but it's still not bad by any means.
Nice review for a fantastic band, have a pos. I'd take out an "I think" at the beginning of your 3rd or 4th paragraph but other than that you're good!
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks, Brostep.
Album Rating: 4.0Great album.
Album Rating: 4.0Definitely. I dig The Silver Cord and Phoenix more though. Still a very solid debut.
Album Rating: 4.0Same here. This one's great but just not as mature.
Album Rating: 4.0What did you think of Vagabonds, jordan?
Album Rating: 4.0I've only listened to it once through. Didn't think it was that great but it's def not as bad as people are saying it is. Also I don't have it in good audio quality which sucks.
Album Rating: 4.0That bad audio quality can definitely kill the experience of it. It's a fun album. I think I would have liked it a lot more if it hadn't followed The Silver Cord, which is amazing. I guess it was just bad timing.
Album Rating: 4.0Lol yeah totally true. Wouldn't made more sense after this album.
Love this album; good review. This is my favorite by them, actually.
Album Rating: 4.0It's a great debut. They blew me away with The Silver Cord though. It's probably my favorite alternative/rock album I've heard.
What did you think of Anberlin's Cities?
Album Rating: 4.0I like it. I was not aware that it was looked so highly upon until I got on this site tho. It has a few songs I'm not very fond of (Adelaide and Whisper And A Clamor) and some of my favorite Anberlin songs (Godspeed, Unwinding Cable Car, No Mathematics To Love And Loss and Reclusion). I have been listening to them since their first album and am pretty familiar with most of their material and I think Vital is their best so far.
Yeah, I still haven't got the chance to listen to Vital, even though I have listened to the entire discog besides that. Reclusion is one of all-time favorites by them. There was just a darkness in Cities that I haven't heard before that album or since then, but the only one that I didn't really enjoy was New Surrender. I will have to listen to The Silver Chord again, I don't remember being overly impressed with it when I listened the first time.
Album Rating: 4.0Yea, Cities does have some of their darker songs. Vital definitely has a more meloncholy feel compared to their other
stuff as well. It has some of their heavier rock based songs to date, too.
I don't know what it is about The Silver Cord, but I just love it. My favorite thing about it is the pacing. To me, it feels like
the album takes you on a journey from beginning to end with the different musical styles, key changes and lyrical topics.

1. Where did you go and what was your experience like?
My placement was at Engeye Health Clinic in Ddegeya, Uganda, and I was incredibly fortunate to be placed there. It was a wonderful and challenging honor to live in Ddegeya.
2. What was your fondest memory of your time as a Minerva Fellow?
All of the relationships I formed with community members and the Engeye staff. All of the time I spent with the community members, coloring, playing with the babies, and talking with the clinic staff.
3. What did you do during your time? What does the fellowship entail?
I worked in the clinic, completing simple lab tests, taking vitals, and filling pharmaceutical orders. I played with the babies and the village kids when the clinic was slow. In the past 4 months, my fellow fellow, Joe Hinderstein, and I, worked with the staff and the U.S.-based board to develop comprehensive plans to add maternal services to the clinic. Each day was different, but we spent time getting to know the community, learning as much as we could about the clinic and central Uganda, and ultimately devised plans to make the community stronger–all things inline with the fellowship's ideals.
4. How has the trip changed you?
I learned what mattered to me, and often these were thing that were far different from what held importance in my life before living in Ddegeya, Uganda. I learned a lot about perseverance, healthcare, dedication, grit, and global health. I learned about passion, and following my dreams. It gave me passion for global health and women's health. My time in the village added to my perspective in many ways.

Debunking the Expensive Myth, Data Recovery on Laptops, External Hard Drive Recovery Is Affordable
What makes hard disk recovery or even laptop hard drive data recovery affordable? It certainly wouldn't be the time needed to collect a view of the computer's entire, for example, 750-gigabytes of storage that a single Dell or Mac is capable of.
April 2, 2014 (Newswire.com) - What makes hard disk recovery or even laptop hard drive data recovery affordable? It certainly wouldn't be the time needed to collect a view of the computer's entire, for example, 750-gigabytes of storage that a single Dell or Mac is capable of. Did you know it may take even two to three hours to collect only 150 gigabytes of storage from a computer whose external hard drive is failing? However, an expert who is familiar with viewing external hard drives may be able to retrieve sensitive data during an external hard drive recovery. Is the rise in data recovery services and need for hard disk recovery driving up prices?
Some people may think this is the case; however, good, fast hard disk recovery doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars. Many times, experts must spend time getting an image from a failed hard drive even if a client only uses roughly a third of a computer's full data storage capacity. Some "expert" companies may say their rise in cost is due to the upkeep of a clean room. However, having a clean room is not a good enough reason to raise rates. A reputable company will offer a flat rate, even if they do have a clean room to use while performing laptop hard drive data recovery.
Data recovery may mean data transfer as Well
Sometimes, the best way to save that data when your computer gives you the "Blue Screen of Death" is simply to seek out a qualified professional. This may also help your data from being lost. Once data is lost, even the most skilled professional may not be able to retrieve data that has been destroyed due to dropping or jarring a computer. Some companies may base their prices for data transfer on how complex the job is transferring data from a failing hard drive to a new machine.
However, many companies will simply provide a flat rate for external hard drive recovery and transferring of files. This transferring process may not always go as smoothly as you think. This is why it is best to seek a professional who is skilled in possibly bypassing corrupted data in order to restore a computer owner's files almost fully, 100 percent. By offering a flat rate, a company that offers a professional data transfer may attract more customers. Customers may be more likely to use data transfer services or data recovery, such as laptop hard drive data recovery, after a computer is likely jarred and magnetic heads may have erased data. They may feel a flat rate for hard disk recovery is more appealing and affordable than a company that charges by the hour.

text: My problem is with the Wii remote when playing Mario Kart. About 1 out of 15 times, when I drift LEFT, it actually drift RIGHT. I would then look at the position of my Wii Wheel and it is TOTALLY tilted LEFT (at about 45 degree LEFT). So one time I was using 1.5V Duracell and the problem never happened. But at the same time, I am wondering if it is the "switches" inside the Wii remote that has some mercury and it divided into 2 or 3 droplets and therefore misled the console whether it is LEFT or RIGHT. Any body had that same issue? I am also trying 1.5V Duracell Lithium to see if they work really well, but the problem happened one time during the game I just played as well. What about shaking the Wii remote / Wheel as if you are shaking off some water off from your hands, so that the mercury will "merge" together, or any other trick to make it work?

Digital video editing system maker Media 100 has announced that it has executed a non-binding term sheet to sell substantially all its assets to Optibase as part of a pre-packaged bankruptcy.
Media 100 said the deal will allow it to develop, sell and support its 844/X, Media 100 HD, Media 100 i and other products. Optibase makes professional video solutions including MPEG encoding cards, IP-based TV streaming products, multiplexers and software.
Media 100 President John Molinari said that the deal was "timed well" to support his company as it prepares to deliver Media 100 HD to the Power Mac G5 platform. The news of Optibase's acquisition comes only a week after Media 100 announced that it needed investors or it would be forced to close its doors.
Media 100 cautioned that the acquisition is subject to various contingencies including the approval of the bankruptcy court. If the deal falls through, Media 100 still might be forced to cease operations.

Three days after Haiti was rocked by a strong earthquake, the Caribbean country is in desperate need of help from the international community.
Tuesday's earthquake has left thousands of people dead and even more homeless as buildings - including schools, hospitals and homes - collapsed during the quake. Many survivors need urgent medical help and rescue teams and emergency services are working in incredibly tough and desperate conditions. Countries around the world are sending help, and charity organisations on the ground - including the Red Cross, UN agencies and Médecins Sans Frontières(Doctors Without Borders) who are treating patients in tents after its three medical centres were destroyed in the quake - need your help, and are appealing for donations.
Help Haiti by donating now!

In June 2010 Finnish Prime Minister and Centre Party leader Matti Vanhanen stepped down from both posts for reasons he promised to fully disclose only in the distant future. Vanhanen had been implicated in the campaign contributions scandal of 2008–09 that was still reverberating. The party secretary, Jarmo Korhonen, who was at the heart of the scandal, failed to win reelection even though he had been exonerated at the 2009 Centre Party convention.
Minister of Public Administration and Local Government Mari Kiviniemi defeated seasoned politicians Mauri Pekkarinen and Paavo Väyrynen in the vote for Centre Party chairperson. Kiviniemi's nomination as the second woman prime minister in Finnish history was confirmed by a parliamentary vote of 115–56.
In September, Chancellor of Justice Jaakko Jonkka asked the Constitutional Law Committee of the parliament to investigate whether Vanhanen had broken the law by receiving campaign contributions from Nuorisosäätiö, a foundation with close ties to the Centre Party; as prime minister, Vanhanen had participated in decisions to grant public funding to the foundation. In Jonkka's opinion Vanhanen should have recused himself from the decision making regarding Nuorisosäätiö's funding.
The Constitutional Law Committee determined that a police investigation was necessary. The National Bureau of Investigation interrogated Vanhanen under instructions to complete the investigation process by January 2011.
In response to a television debate in October in which Päivi Räsänen, the leader of the Christian Democrats, strongly opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage, a record 40,000 members left the Lutheran church. Subsequent church elections saw a rise in voter participation, and liberals won seats from conservatives, especially in the larger cities. In December a poll indicated that 44% of Finns felt that the government's performance had been poor, the worst such showing since 2007.
Nokia Corp., the world's largest cell-phone maker, announced the replacement of its chief executive officer, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, with Stephen Elop, a Canadian-born Microsoft executive. Nokia had been doing well in emerging markets but badly in the United States, a state of affairs Kallasvuo had not succeeded in fixing despite his best efforts. Anssi Vanjoki, a longtime Nokia executive, left the corporation shortly afterward, having disclosed that he had twice applied for the position of CEO. Moreover, Jorma Ollila, Nokia's chairman of the board and former longtime chief executive, announced that he would be leaving in 2012.
Nokia accounted single-handedly for 1.6% of the Finnish GDP, and Elop assured the Finnish media that Nokia's headquarters would remain in Finland, even though 86% of the company's ownership was in foreign hands.

Plans for a brand new hotel for Gainsborough are now another step closer and are now in the hands of the Secretary of State.
His decision will hinge on whether he thinks a Grade II listed building is more important that a raft of new jobs and investment for the town.
It is not every day that an opportunity such as this comes up for Gainsborough. The development could provide a massive boost for the town. Let's just hope the minister agrees.

For the senior class president at Kecoughtan High School in Hampton, Va., the saggy pants look has gone too far -- or low. Some students sag their pants so low you can see their entire boxers or briefs when they bend over to pick up things.
So one day, senior class President Rasheed Parker said he'd had enough. He went to his principal to start an "anti-sagging" campaign. The idea wasn't to ostracize the students who sag, but educate them on the negative impacts that come with the look.
"You can't sag your pants in the real world," Parker told the Daily Press. "It screams unprofessional. It looks like you don't have purpose."
So during the month of March, the school is making morning announcements about the history of saggy pants, selling T-shirts that read "Your Swag is as Low as Your Sag," and encouraging discussion.
In 2005, State Delegate Algie Howell (D-Norfolk) actually proposed legislation to fine individuals who sagged their pants in a "lewd or indecent manner." Showing off your underoos would cost you $50. That measure passed in the House but failed when it reached the State Senate.
Howell stopped by Kecoughtan High to commend the students for their efforts. He told theDaily Pressthat he's invited 25 students to appear before state legislators in April.
A number of sources said the origins of saggy pants actually date back to the days of slavery. Slaves were not allowed to wear belts, making it harder for them to run away.
"Who would want to be a slave in this day or time?" Howell said to the Daily Press.
The school's principal also has agreed to play the song "Pants on the Ground," to wrap up the campaign next Tuesday. In case you've been living under a rock, 62-year-old Larry Platt sang that original for his American Idol audition and it became a viral sensation.
The campaign is working, teachers said. They're noticing students stopping each other in the hallways and telling them to pull up their pants. Though not all the students are into it.
"In schools you don't have to be professional ... in job interviews it's unprofessional, or a teacher wearing it would be. It depends on the scenario," one student told the Daily Press.
Parker, a former pant-sagger himself pointed out that everyone has to grow up sometime. "At some point you stop wearing light-up Skechers ... at some point you pull up your pants."

Should you pre-order Wolfenstein for Xbox 360 or PS3 then you'll still get beta to Xbox One or PS4. Bethesda are also working on beta access for digital pre-orders.
They're talking with Steam, Microsoft and Sony to sort out those who'd rather a digital release of Wolfenstein: The New Order. You'll need an Xbox Live subscription for Xbox One.
Curiously there's no need for a PlayStation Network subscription to eventually play the DOOM beta on PS4. Bethesda wouldn't reveal how long they plan to run the beta for id Software's next DOOM, nor the date it begins.
"DOOM beta access correlates to your pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order platform. If you purchase an Xbox 360 or Xbox One version of Wolfenstein: The New Order, you will receive an invitation to the Xbox One DOOM beta. PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 purchasers will receive an invite to the PS4 DOOM beta. All PC purchases will receive an invite to the PC DOOM beta. The DOOM Beta will only be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC," reveals an FAQ.
"We are working with Steam, Microsoft, and Sony to help ensure that persons pre-ordering digitally from Steam, Microsoft, and Sony will receive access to the DOOM beta. Other digital retailers' processes and/or participation may vary."
"An Xbox Live Gold membership is required for the Xbox One beta. A PSN Plus membership is NOT required for the PlayStation 4 beta," they continued. The DOOM beta access codes are included on an insert in physical copies.
Wolfenstein: The New Order releases on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4 May 20th.

B Lab, the force behind a new business sector designation—called the B Corporation—which recognizes companies that meet a set of social, environmental and institutional benchmarks for sustainability, is facing a Herculean effort. The work won't be in convincing people that business can be a positive force for social change—there are already 240 companies in 28 states (representing more than 50 industries) that have become B Corps, and I'm sure that number will continue to grow. The bigger task will be in lobbying for legislation, on a state-by-state basis, to recognize and provide incentives to B Corporations.
And that effort got an important boost today: The Philadelphia City Council voted unanimously to pass a bill that creates a new sustainable business tax credit for certified sustainable businesses located in the City of Philadelphia. For tax years 2012 through 2017, 25 eligible businesses shall receive a tax credit of $4,000 to be used against the gross receipts portion of the business privilege tax. Companies can be classified as certified sustainable businesses once they are certified as B Corporations.
Not only does this bode well for B Lab's efforts to gain governmental recognition for B Corps, it also makes Philadelphia (a city that is already making strides in sustainability) the first city in the country to adopt a financial incentive for sustainable businesses.
And while city laws are still a far cry from state-wide legislation, Philly's support of B Corps is already generating some momentum among other city councils—specifically in Media and Yonkers, PA.—which are considering similar legislation.
Brian Taussig-Lux, general manager of Untours, a travel company based in Media and a founding B Corporation, is hopeful that his city council will succeed in introducing incentives for his and other B Corps there. Philadelphia's passage of the bill represents a powerful precedent, he says. "Once one city does this, it's a model. I can say, 'look at what Philadelphia can do.' It's in black and white."
He adds that tax incentives, and—eventually—recognition at the state level, would help Untours and similar companies do more good work. "We are paying taxes just like the guy down the street, whose business might even be having a negative impact on community. If we could get a chunk back from Uncle Sam, we could make a bigger difference."
B Lab is also working with both business and legal working groups in the California legislature to introduce a bill early next year that, if passed, would give B Corps legal recognition and support in that state.

From Oxford University Press:
In the wake of another national tragedy, it is more apparent than ever that our schools must embrace a stronger role in supporting the mental health of our youth by developing trauma-sensitive schools. The mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut that killed several staff and 20 elementary school students came less than two months after Hurricane Sandy, a storm that brought devastation and displacement to tens of thousands of people in the Northeast. Both events offer stark reminders of the acute stress our students may face when experiencing cataclysmic events. However, even in the absence of such tragedies, many of our nation's children are in chronic distress.
Despite our collective efforts, youth continue to have adverse and traumatic experiences, such as chronic child maltreatment, domestic and community violence, homelessness, natural disasters, parental substance abuse, death of a loved one, and the list goes on. These experiences can significantly undermine the ability to learn, form relationships, and manage emotions and behavior; all critical components of succeeding in school and in life. To improve our country's education system, we must first address these barriers to progress; and schools remain the most logical place to do it.

It seems like only yesterday that I posted the first teaser for Wilson Yip's "A Chinese Fairy Tale" that contained actual footage from the film. Oh, wait. That was yesterday. At any rate, the marketing gurus working diligently behind-the-scenes have unleashed yet another trailer for the upcoming supernatural romance, one that contains even more haunting footage than the first. I am certainly not going to complain about that. If you missed the first teaser, feel free to click right here to check it out.

Louisville Downs West Virginia, Sets Sights on National Championship
Team Page: Louisville :: West Virginia
This Weekends Matchups :: Odds :: Free Picks
Welcome to the national championship hunt, Louisville.
Brian Brohm threw for 354 yards and a touchdown, and the fifth-ranked Cardinals took advantage of key mistakes by No. 3 West Virginia for an impressive 44-34 victory Thursday night that could give them an inside track to the Bowl Championship Series title game.
The win will likely lift Louisville (8-0, 3-0 Big East) to at least fourth in next week's BCS poll - it was fifth this week - and could be the spring board the Cardinals need to propel them into the national championship game if they manage to run the table.
But first, they must get past another undefeated conference foe. Louisville plays at No. 15 Rutgers (8-0, 3-0) next Thursday night.
``Now the biggest game in Louisville history is this Rutgers game coming up,'' Brohm said.
The Cardinals avenged last year's triple-overtime loss to the Mountaineers (7-1, 2-1) by returning a fumble and a punt for touchdowns during a pivotal three-minute stretch in the third quarter. Then, they delivered on their offseason motto to ``finish.''
West Virginia quarterback Pat White ran for 125 yards and four touchdowns and added 222 yards through the air. But he couldn't overcome three turnovers and a relentless Louisville offense that racked up 473 total yards and kept the Mountaineers on their heels all night.
Heisman Trophy hopeful Steve Slaton ran for 156 yards and a touchdown for the Mountaineers, but fumbled on consecutive snaps in the third quarter - apparently bothered by weakness in his left arm. Louisville's Malik Jackson returned the second one 13 yards for a score that gave the Cardinals a 23-14 lead, and Trent Guy added a 40-yard punt return four plays later, pushing Louisville's advantage to 30-16 with 9:23 left in the third quarter.
And unlike last season - when the Mountaineers rallied from 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Cardinals 46-44 - there would be no miracle comeback this year.
Though White led the Mountaineers on a pair of touchdown drives to get them back in it, the Cardinals responded each time with a score of their own. Brohm connected with Mario Urrutia on a 6-yard TD and Anthony Allen added a 5-yard touchdown run to keep the Cardinals safely in front.
Forced to abandon its high-powered running game to catch up, the Mountaineers simply couldn't keep pace as their school-record 14-game winning streak ended while a packed Papa John's Stadium crowd - clad mostly in black T-shirts that read ``Beat WVU'' - stormed the field.

E3 2014: Big changes are coming to Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Unity wowed us in both Microsoft and Ubisoft's Press Conference. We saw the main character descend from buildings, run through interiors, weave through a bustling crowd and assassinate high ranking officials. But what is it about Unity that makes it a completely new experience, and not just the same old Assassin's Creed we've been playing for years now. Apparently, Ubisoft has the answers.
Here is a summary of each of their key points, taken straight from the Ubi Blog.
Unity is running on a brand new engine, specifically for next-gen consoles and PCs. That's right, this game won't be available on last-gen systems. Creative Director Alex Amancio "So this is what Unity is. It's not a reboot. It is a reinvention of Assassin's Creed for this next generation."
The parkous is getting an overhaul as well, allowing players to now navigate down buildings, instead of always jumping into stacks of hay. That sense of movement is actually accentuated by the fact that all buildings are built to a 1:1 scale. That means some will have to get over their fear of heights.
Players now have the option to go into a Stealth Stance, which will dramatically change the gameplay. Previous games allowed stealth only in certain situations, like in bushes for instance. Now, players will be able to enter into this stance and stalk their prey way more effectively.
On the combat side, enemies are now a little tougher and a lot smarter, meaning button mashing will no longer work, and will require players to come equipped with all the right tools for the situation, and utilize smart tactics.
Missions are also getting quite an overhaul, and will now adapt to the players gameplay. Previously, failing to tail a target would result in a failed mission, but in Unity, the game will adapt and present different ways for the player to still achieve his goal. Whether it's finding a different NPC that can tell you your tails location, or perhaps chasing him down once he spots, or even looting his dead corpse as a result of a riot. The game won't penalize you for doing things your way anymore.
Of course, we all know by now that Unity is set in Paris during the French Revolution, and the city will be absolutely enormous, and apparently bigger than any Assassin's Creed city before that. Aside from the 1:1 scale landmarks players will be able to scale, interiors will now be explorable, all without a single loading screen. The city streets can showcase up to 5,000 NPCs on screen, as opposed to 150 in previous games. The Catacombs of Paris will also be fully explorable.
But one of the bigger surprises to Unity was the introduction to co-op, into the actual game world. Players will be able to team up with three other players, four total, and complete story missions in the same game world they've explored in their single player campaign.
The game will also include a present day scenario, but Ubisoft has kept quiet about it thus far, but Amancio did say this, "It's very different than anything you've seen in any of the past games, Black Flag was different. This is more different."
You can get your hands on Assassin's Creed Unity on October 28th, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
