Rogers County Voters Could Decide to Change Alcohol Law
Residents in Rogers County will be able to to decide if their alcohol laws should change. Right now, residents can't purchase liquor or wine at a restaurant or bar on Sundays or on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
A Claremore resident came to the County Commissioners to get the change put to a vote of the people and to help the county grow.
"It's not a moral issue, it's just about economics," Dewayne Caldwell, said.
Caldwell has lived in Claremore since the 1980's and said this law even includes the two casinos inside the county, which means sales tax revenue could be driving out of the county each weekend.
"If you want to drink over the weekend, like on a Sunday, you have to go to Tulsa or Owasso some other place to get a drink with your Mexican food if you want a margarita or even just your beer and pizza. It would be great to have the tax dollars here in Claremore," Melinda Kennedy, Owner of Wine Down Spirits, said.
County commissioners said this will help new and old businesses.
"That will increase revenue for the county as well as revenue for the business I think we are one of the few counties that haven't moved into the modern age in that respect so I think it's going to be a good thing," Rogers County Commissioner District 3, Kirt Thacker said.
Some people say this change could lead to alcohol problems in the county.
"If someone has a problem with alcohol this isn't going to change for them one way or the other, this is simply a matter of economics and people's rights," Thacker said.
Caldwell said it's about putting Rogers County on an even playing field.
"We are wanting to get bigger and better restaurants and help the development of Claremore, get bigger and better businesses not just restaurants," Caldwell said.
Liquor Stores would still be closed on Sundays. The vote will be on the June 24th ballot.

Hey folks:
I've posted some photos of the mystery Doug Irwin guitar that my friend bought in the San Francisco area in 1995, shortly before Jerry passed away. We really know nothing about the guitar except that it appears to be a genuine Irwin, it has a brass nut, tailpiece and harmonica bridge, uses Fender amp knobs for tone and volume controls and has a similar looking top to the headless Irwin built for Jerry, so perhaps from that era ... headstock inlay has the eagle and the world, fretboard inlays are similar to the ones on Garcia's guitars. Neck joint looks familiar. At some point there was a Roland MIDI device velcroed below the tailpiece.
The photos are with the strings off and the pickguard loosened, but there was nothing revealing below. Standard Strat wiring.
Here are the shots ... if anyone recognizes it, please chime in:

HSE were alerted to illegal work by registered engineer:
A gas fitter from the West Midlands was handed a suspended prison sentence earlier this year, after he fitted a hob at a residence in Tamworth despite not being on the Gas Safe Register.
HSE were alerted to the incident after Alan Nicholas Price's work needed correcting by a registered fitter. Mr Price was charged with breaking Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. He failed to appear in court on two separate occasions and was arrested. Price subsequently pleaded guilty at Stafford Crown Court and was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
"This is due to the level of risk if gas systems are not worked on safely"
Gas Safe Register maintains the register of businesses and operatives who are competent to undertake gas work. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, for a gas engineering business or operative to legally undertake work within the scope of the regulations, they must be on the Gas Safe Register.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE's Wayne Owen said: "When working on gas systems it is vital that the person has sufficient knowledge, training and experience so that they are aware of safe working practices and standards. This is due to the level of risk if gas systems are not worked on and fitted safely. The risk is posed not only to the person carrying out the work but to anyone else who may be in the vicinity of the systems afterwards; in this case the occupants house."
NCASS is committed to the safety of members:
NCASS is committed to ensuring the safety of their members and as such you will find a list of qualified Gas Safe engineers, all of whom are tried, tested and trusted by mobile caterers.

We recently became obsessed with a strange, select club: The top rated reviewers on Amazon. These are ordinary people — not Amazon employees — who write and record hundreds of astonishingly detailed reviews on Amazon.
At this moment, Amazon's number 1 reviewer is Michael Erb (Amazon screen name, M. Erb). He's has reviewed more than 850 products, ranging from telescopes to facial wipes. On today's show, we talk to Erb and another top reviewer, and we try to figure out: Why do they spend so much time and effort reviewing stuff on Amazon?

Sydney, Australia, Jul 12, 2008 / 01:39 am (CNA) .- The Australian Catholic Bishops Conferenceâs National Office for Evangelization has launched an evangelization program called âRewiredâ to sustain the enthusiasm of young Catholics after World Youth Day.
The Rewired resource program can be run by youth leaders over six sessions. A press release from the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) says the program provides an environment for young people to reflect, grow, and share their faith.
âRewired is for young people deeply immersed in their faith as well as those who havenât had much to do with the Church at all,â said Marita Winters, director of the ACBCâs National Office for Evangelization. âIt is an opportunity for young people in a parish, school, or on a university campus to invite their peers to look at their faith and tradition in a welcoming environment. It is also a useful tool for a parish which wants to start a youth group.â
âAs the Body of the Christ, we all want to be able to tap into that level of excitement and raised spiritual awareness that is so often a feature of World Youth Day, and to translate it into a deep and lasting connection with the life of the Church,â Winters said.
The Rewired program will go on sale during World Youth Day Week. More information is available at www.evangeliseaustralia.com.


text: Ok so I hardly understand this. I have two pedals that don't react to well with low impedance active basses. I have done some research but vaguely understand it. Apparently if I raise the impedance before it hits the efforts, it would correct this issue. Two ways I heard of doing this is using a super hard on (clone) or a radial dragster. Now am I understanding this correctly? Is all this doing is just acting as a volume knob? Supposedly the SHO is some kinda extremely high impedance blah blah. I'd rather it over the radial dragster bevause I could turn it off to use with passive basses. Or would it be ok to use a permanent impedance raiser........ On both passive and active Or am I going at this all wrong?

Prohibition was, thankfully, abolished 80 years ago. December 5, 1933, is marked as a turning point for the alcohol industry when Utah became the 36th state to approve the 21st Amendment. To celebrate the anniversary of this date, MillerCoors' Batch launched its Repeal Day campaign including signage, in-store sampling and bar parties at which brand representatives wear historical clothing (such as flapper outfits). In addition,"Repeal Day" is being used to promote the brand's Batch 19 lager and bock, made from pre-Prohibition recipes. Considering that certain components are no longer available on the market, some of them (a type of barley, for example) have been found swapped for contemporary substitutions.
SEE ALSO: Celebrating Absolut Originality: When Robots Meet Vodka
According to Libby Oberpriller Mura, senior marketing director at Tenth and Blake, MillerCoors' Batch 19 is focused on market expansion across the United States. She states, "We actually are looking to grow this slowly and seed this in markets over time so we can build a long-term, healthy brand that will be around for a long time, very similar to how Blue Moon grew."
This promotion, which includes a wager offering prize packs of T-shirts, growlers, glasses and metal signs, celebrates the significance of the end of Prohibition, "because without it, you'd be drinking swill."

I'd love to do a film with SRK: Hollywood director Paul Feig
Singapore, July 25 (IANS) Paul Feig made dinner plans with Bollywood's 'Badshah' Shah Rukh Khan on the virtual world, and now he is keen to take it forward in a more professional way. The Hollywood director says he would love to make a film with the Indian superstar.
The director, who is busy with his film Ghostbusters, also shared that his wife Laurie is a Bollywood fanatic and a big fan of Shah Rukh, who has spent over two decades in filmdom and has earned epithets like 'King Khan', 'King of Romance' and 'Badshah'.
I would love to do a film with Shah Rukh. My wife would be so happy, Feig told IANS here.
I won't see my wife again," he quipped.
Back in May, when Shah Rukh hosted a star-studded dinner party for Apple CEO Tim Cook Feig's wife had tweeted: Some day I hope Paul Feig can be welcome at Mannat! Dream, Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh had then invited the couple over for a meal. The "Spy" director had then responded: You're on, Shah Rukh Khan! I'll bring the ketchup. It would be an honour to meet you. Many thanks, my friend.
When asked about the virtually fixed dinner date, during a press event organised by Sony Pictures Entertainment for select media from across Asia for "Ghostbusters" here, Feig shared the fascination he has for Indian cinema and the superstar.
Feig's wife's favourite movie is Shah Rukh-starrer Om Shanti Om, the director shared.
Right now, it is all about ghosts and women for Feig.
Feig, known for his flair of weaving comedy and action elements into his films, has given a 'female-centric' twist to "Ghostbusters", a reboot of the famous 1984 eponymous American supernatural horror comedy.
He has infused new life to the story with advanced technology and by replacing the male protagonists with a female cast, roping in stars like Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. The film, which also stars Chris Hemsworth, will release in India on July 29.
The press event was held in anticipation of the release of "Ghostbusters" and was attended by McCarthy as well.
McCarthy chipped in to say that Laurie's airplane journeys are always amazing thanks to Bollywood.
Whenever we ask, 'How was your flight?' She says, 'I saw Bollywood… It was amazing, incredible', McCarthy said.

In a new study with implications for state and federal efforts to reform payments to doctors and hospitals to encourage greater coordination of care, Harvard Medical School researchers found that a global payment system underway in Massachusetts lowered medical spending while improving the quality of patient care relative to the traditional fee-for-service system.
The study, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, examined the Alternative Quality Contract (AQC), which was first introduced by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) in 2009 and now includes more than a third of the insurer's provider network.
Among the study's findings:
- The medical spending was nearly 2% lower among physicians and hospitals participating in the AQC compared with those working under traditional fee-for-service contracts.
- Importantly, for physicians and hospitals with no previous experience in a global payment model, spending was 6% lower than that of providers in traditional fee-for-service contracts.
- These year-one savings were largely the result of physicians changing referral patterns and shifting care to lower-cost facilities
- By the end of year-1, quality of care among AQC providers was significantly higher than that of non-AQC providers in the BCBSMA network, especially for adults with chronic illness and for children.
- Because the AQC contract shared savings with providers, rewarded providers for quality and, in some cases, include provider support for infrastructure development, the total dollars paid to AQC groups in the first year likely exceeded the savings achieved through reduced medical spending.
- This outcome reflects the design of the AQC, which focuses on slowing the growth of spending and improving quality initially, rather than saving money in the first year.
"The finding of reduced spending, together with improved quality in year-one of the contract is significant," says senior author Dr. Michael Chernew, Harvard Medical School. "For policymakers contemplating improved payment models for US health care, reducing medical spending while improving quality and outcomes is the Holy Grail. While much remains to be seen over the next years of these AQC contracts and as the model expands to other providers, these early results provide reason for optimism."
Chernew noted that changes in referral patterns like the kind accomplished in the AQC's first year can subsequently affect pricing in the health care market, as high-price facilities feel pressure from decreased volume. He also noted that the significance of the changes in physician thinking and behavior that are required to accomplish such changes in practice should not be understated.
Background on study:
In 2009, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts began paying seven Massachusetts provider groups differently under a contracting model called the "Alternative Quality Contract" (AQC). This model is characterized by global payment, whereby provider groups received a budget (defined for five years) to take care of their BCBSMA patients, rather than being paid separately for each service (fee-for-service). In addition to the global budget, groups were eligible for pay-for-performance bonuses, which rewarded providers for meeting certain quality targets. Provider groups in the AQC system assume accountability for spending, similar to Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). This study analyzed the effect of this intervention on health care quality and spending. Harvard Medical School researchers analyzed 2006-2009 claims for enrollees whose primary care physicians were in the AQC, compared with enrollees not in the AQC.

Hudson Square Tries to Encircle Residents
Deb's Catering, a gourmet deli in Manhattan's Hudson Square neighborhood, does a brisk business serving salads and sandwiches to office workers on weekday afternoons. But when those office workers go home for the day, Deb's shuts down, too.
"I've attempted to open on the weekends many times, but this neighborhood is pretty quiet on the weekends," says Deborah Barall-Miller, owner of the 17-year-old shop.

She was one of the most loved directors on the sets of Colors Uttaran. Not only her assistants but the entire cast and crew loved her and looked up to her for her expert advice as a senior. That she was fun loving only added to her popularity.
We are talking about director Nandita Mehra who was the life and soul of the Uttaran team. She was associated with the show for the first two years and then after a break she had once again joined the show for the last four months. Nandita had bagged an award for best director too for the show and her leaving the show came as a shock to everyone who was working with her on the show and she was given a sweet farewell on the sets.
Says a source from the sets, "Well, everyone loved Nandita since along with work she always maintained a fun attitude on the sets which made working a joy! She has been an inspiration for many in the industry. There was a cake cutting on her last day last week and some members of the team got emotional too and were heard telling Nandita how much they will miss her."
Nandita Mehra is a reputed name in the Television industry who started as an Assistant Director for Ashok Pandit in Tere Mere Sapne, after which she went on to direct shows like Mehendi Tere Naam Ki, Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chaand, Astitva Ek Prem Kahani amongst others. However, it was with starting Uttaran as director for the first two years which got her more fame and popularity. She also ventured into production with actor Bhairavi Raichura and started her own production house 24 Frames which produced the show Chhal-Sheh Aur Maat.
Buzz is that Nandita is now busy with her own production house and thus had to take this decision to step down as the director. "There has been news about the show that she is planning for her own production house and this time it seems everything is final. The show is to be made for Star Plus," confirms our source.
We called Nandita to enquire about the same and she says, "Yes, it is true that I am planning to give more time to my own production house. We are working on a concept but it is too early to talk about it. There are many things which still have to get finalized and we hope to present a fantastic show by 24 Frames."
Just like the team Uttaran who will miss her, Nandita too felt the same, "I will miss working on Uttaran since I was very much attached to it and also to the entire team."
However, life moves on and one has to take such decisions to keep up pace with your own growth. We wish Nandita all the very best and hope to see her new show on air soon!

The multidisciplinary team of experts from States and industry facilitated by ICAO will prepare by 1 August a report on lessons learned from the crisis and identify guidance material and contingency plans which need to be updated. Building on the report, a roadmap for establishing globally-harmonized ash concentration thresholds, options for improved detection systems of volcanic ash, as well as recommendations to improve notification and warning systems, will be completed by May 2011. "Given the enormous economic impact of the volcanic ash clouds over Europe and untold inconvenience to millions of passengers, we are actively coordinating and promoting the creation of technical and operational guidelines that will help States react sooner and more effectively to this kind of situation," said Raymond Benjamin, Secretary General of ICAO. States invited to join the Task Force are those where the nine Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres of the International Airways Volcano Watch are located, namely Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States. Brazil was added as another of the States where commercial aircraft are manufactured and Spain as the State currently holding the Presidency of the European Union. Fourteen international organizations will also be invited to participate.* The International Airways Volcano Watch system was created in 1987 by ICAO, in coordination with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), to provide critical information to States, allowing them to exercise their responsibility as regards the use of their airspace. *Airports Council International (ACI); Chairman of the International Airways Volcano Watch Operations Group (IAVWOPSG); Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO); European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); European Commission (EC); European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL); European Space Agency (ESA); International Air Transport Association (IATA); International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA); International Coordinating Council of; Aerospace Industries Associations (ICCAIA); International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA); International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers' Associations (IFATCA); International Federation of Airline Dispatchers Associations (IFALDA); International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG); National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); World Meteorological Organization (WMO); World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO).

Meanwhile, the energy efficiency market is "the frozen tidal wave," explains Zabin. "That's how they refer to it in the industry."
The tidal wave hasn't thawed yet, but it will, Zabin insists, thanks in part to the $90 billion investment in the green industry from the stimulus package. Money that went to weatherization and energy-efficiency projects were released slowly, and their effects have yet to be felt — maybe even this year.
Much credit for popularizing the idea of green-collar jobs for underserved and unemployed communities can be traced back to Van Jones, who founded the social justice nonprofit Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and served a short and contested stint as White House green jobs czar.
It was 2001 when Jones and the Ella Baker Center began trying to popularize the idea of "green-collar" job training as a model that would use training programs and partnerships with government, unions, and employers to create "pathways out of poverty." The idea has since garnered varying levels of enthusiasm from job seekers, politicians, unions, environmentalists, educators, and activists — forging sometimes strained partnerships.
"The green economy was small, but it was really clear that there was and continues to be tons of venture capitalism," according to Ian Kim, director of the center's Green Collar Jobs Campaign. "Wherever you see large flows of VC money, you know you will see lots of growth, and lots of jobs right around the corner. We thought, 'Let's help to shape the green economy's growth now instead of pulling out picket signs later.'"
In 2004, the Ella Baker Center joined with the Apollo Alliance — a coalition that supports federal investment in a renewable energy economy — to try to influence the presidential agenda by pushing a package deal of clean energy and job creation.
It may have worked. Presidential candidate Barack Obama took up the mantle of green jobs, pledging to create 5 million green-collar jobs if he were elected. At the time, the clean energy sector was growing astronomically — with job creation outpacing all other sectors at a rate of 2.5 times faster between the years of 1998 and 2007, according to a Pew Research Center report released last year.
As a result, money for green jobs training programs began to flow, and programs like Richmond Build and Oakland Green Jobs Corps sprung into place. Many of the programs sought out low-income people of color — a group noticeably different from the demographic composition of the green industry up until that point.
Solar installer and former Solar Richmond instructor Koralie Hill described the shift: "Six years ago, when I did my training, it was mostly white folks, some international folks who were people of color. Most people learning solar were coming from college backgrounds and beyond. That's changed dramatically. Most recently a whole lot more tradespeople are trying to learn solar, a whole lot more people of color."
But even as the demographic composition of the workforce changed, the leadership of the companies themselves did not. According to 2008 Census data, white men dominated green occupations across all sectors and led 90 percent of companies in the construction and energy sectors, says Yvonne Liu, a researcher for Applied Research Center, a nonprofit racial justice think tank. Consequently, she argued, green jobs are not guaranteed to be any more equitable to people of color, women, and low-income people than any other industry.
"We're finding that despite the intentions of advocates for the green economy and people saying it's a pathway, race and gender disparities are still persisting in green jobs," Liu said.
Lana Kumar, 49, graduated last June from Oakland's Green Jobs Corps and then went on to complete an additional three-month solar installation program at Laney College. She has been trying to find solar work since. She was one of eight who interviewed for a solar job earlier this year, but she didn't get the position. "Certain solar companies just pick Caucasian males," Kumar said, reflecting on the experience.
Previously, she worked in the medical field, for a hospice and at Kaiser. Now she's in the Carpenter's Union apprenticeship program and has been volunteering with a solar company, Grid Alternatives, in order to keep her solar installation skills current. While she waits on the union's unemployment list, she's found a job outside her field, working with youth.
"A lot of my friends who did the solar program are now working at the bank, wherever. Nobody's doing solar right now," Kumar added. "But I still have hope. I do believe solar will start booming eventually."
To qualify for acceptance into Richmond Build, an applicant needs a high school diploma, or a GED, and a California driver's license. Sarmiento went to a couple years of college in San Mateo, but many in the program have had no college experience. Some are former prisoners or face other barriers to employment, like being extremely low-income or homeless.
"Our grads are competing with college grads," said the executive director and founder of Solar Richmond, Michele Mc Geoy. "Those college grads can go to the interviews and talk about Al Gore, rock climbing. There's a real culture gap.'"
To Liu from Applied Research Center, stories like Kumar's are not surprising in an industry where "policymakers and green firms don't consciously weave equity into a strategy for developing the green economy."

Firefox version 17 was just released and two new innovations are available.
QUOTE: In its continued attempt to help influence the Internet, Mozilla on Tuesday released an update to Firefox that integrates social features into the browser. With this update comes two important things to note: first, the browser now has a social API that developers can tap into, and second, starting today, Firefox users can send Facebook messages right from the browser. So, why Facebook? The service is the biggest social network out there and many of its members are of course Firefox users, a Mozilla spokesperson told TNW. In addition, the social network was able to help flesh out the API to make this idea a reality. With the social API, Mozilla is hoping that developers take notice and find a way to leverage social services right into the browser in a way that it says will be "compelling" and "makes it easier to use the Web the way you want".
Firefox users who have outdated versions of the most popular plugins will soon see a notification urging them to update when they visit a web page that uses them. Old versions of Silverlight, Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash on Windows are covered by this.

The deal was one of the centrepieces of the Toronto Maple Leafs off-season retooling, and it brought in one of the team's most valuable players so far this season.
But strangely enough, whether it was the right move still remains up for debate.
On June 23, GM Dave Nonis moved four assets of variable quality – goalie Ben Scrivens, winger Matt Frattin, a second-round pick in 2014 or 2015 (Toronto's choice) and $500,000 in salary cap space – to the Los Angeles Kings for highly regarded young netminder Jonathan Bernier.
Six months later, the deal now gets its first true close-up at the Air Canada Centre, with the powerhouse Kings in town on Wednesday.
Bernier is expected to start in the Leafs net and Scrivens in the other, making for a nice little storyline for HBO to pick up on with two teams that rarely meet.
Not that the goalies are approaching it that way.
"No, not really," Bernier said of wanting to beat the fellow he was traded for. "As a goalie, you play to win a game and don't focus on what the other goalie's going to do."
To date, Bernier has delivered on his reputation in Toronto, posting a .929 save percentage despite facing an incredible 11.3 more shots per 60 minutes than he did as a King.
Scrivens, meanwhile, doesn't have that same pedigree but has nonetheless also thrived in California, with a 7-2-4 record and league-leading .943 save percentage as starter Jonathan Quick recovers from a groin injury.
So the Leafs are happy that the goalie they got has performed even better than expected.
And the Kings are happy that the one they landed has been markedly better than their modest expectations.
But there's a lot more of interest going on in the underbelly of this particular trade than two happy teams.
Toronto, for example, could certainly use the cap space they gave up to bring in Bernier. Incumbent James Reimer and Scrivens have played so well that it's hard to argue they wouldn't have been an effective tandem, and the extra $2.9-million in salary is badly needed elsewhere on the Leafs roster.
That's not to say Nonis is overspending in goal, especially not with how well his two 'tenders have played. Just that he had options and upgrading in net wasn't the slam dunk one.
On the Los Angeles side, the Kings brass wasn't certain initially that Scrivens was going to be their backup. There was internal skepticism over his ability, and they brought in veteran Mathieu Garon (now in the KHL) on a training camp tryout to compete for the job.
Scrivens eventually won them over, but even now, the Kings have been giving several starts to 23-year-old Martin Jones in recent games, another sign they don't necessarily view the former Leaf as part of their long-term goaltending picture.
Like Reimer, being overlooked has been a running theme in Scrivens's career. He didn't get a sniff from major junior, wasn't drafted into the NHL and didn't lock in a scholarship at Cornell until he was 20 years old and almost out of hockey.
What the 27-year-old from Spruce Grove, Atla., has done is continued to prove people in the game wrong, posting impressive numbers in college, the ECHL, AHL and now the NHL.
"He's a hard worker," said Leafs winger Jerry D'Amigo, Scrivens's long-time teammate in the minors. "I remember with the Marlies, he would always be the last guy out there [at practice]. He's battled through it, and he deserves it. Hopefully, he's not too good against us."
As for the other player the Kings acquired in the trade, the one they were more excited to get, Frattin hasn't panned out. He started out auditioning for a plum spot on the second line with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter and is now a sometimes healthy scratch who has only six points in 25 games.
Playing for a better team and another no-nonsense coach, Frattin's ice time is into the single digits in recent games.
That just adds to the mixed bag of the trade, one we probably won't be able to fully evaluate until several years down the road. Goalies, in particular, are strange animals and projecting which ones will succeed in the NHL is rarely as simple as looking at their first 50 to 100 games.
So far, all three involved in the conversation – Bernier, Scrivens and Reimer – have done very well, adding more fodder to the water-cooler debate over which team "won" the June deal.
"I got drafted by them, won a Cup," Bernier said of facing his former team. "I have great friends over there. But at the same time, this was the chance I was waiting for. I'm very happy playing for the Leafs."
"I would have happily been in Toronto still," Scrivens told the LA Times. "It wasn't my choice to leave. That being said, I'm very happy with where I am right now."
UPDATE: After he posted a shutout in Montreal on Tuesday, Kings rookie Martin Jones is now expected to get the start against Toronto.

LA JOLLA ---- It's unlikely the grunion that arrive on shore this time every year in Southern California care much about the humans who observe them. After all, grunion have their own agenda once they arrive.
Now is the time when the silvery fish arrive onshore following high tides for their annual spawning ritual, and night owls (well, people, not real owls) are invited to come and watch (but not touch).
La Jolla's Birch Aquarium at Scripps leads several grunion-run nights each spring, offering an educational presentation to explain the fish ritual, show how the eggs hatch and then lead the group to an area with the best spawning activity (grunion prefer dark, sandy beaches with few rocks).
Grunion are silver-colored fish 5 to 7 inches long and are related to the jack smelt. They come onshore to lay their eggs in the sand a day or two before or after a full moon. The female will burrow her tail into the sand to lay up to 3,000 eggs, while the male fish wraps himself around the female to fertilize the eggs. She then wriggles free and they both return to the sea with the next wave. The eggs incubate for two weeks and hatch on the next high tide.
While some fish fans have been known to grab the fish after they've laid their eggs, the La Jolla Coastal Reserve is a "no-take" area, so catching them is forbidden.
The grunion run dates differ each year, depending on the lunar calendar. This year's first grunion run is on April 5 and the last takes place June 3. Cost to attend the two-hour Birch events is $12. The events begin at 10:30 p.m. (11 p.m. May 19) and include an educational presentation followed by a moonlight stroll along the grunion-covered beach. The events take place near the beach, not at the clifftop aquarium. Information on location will be available when reservations are made. Reservations are required; call 858-534-7336 or visit aquarium.ucsd.edu.
But you don't have to join a tour to see the grunion running. Anyone with a flashlight, warm clothing and ability to stay up past bedtime can take part in the spring ritual on his own.
Birch Aquarium at Scripps is at 2300 Expedition Way in La Jolla. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors and $8.50 for youths ages 3 to 17. Children 2 and under are free. Call 858-534-3474.
Grunion Run programs listed below. Note: The runs do not take place at the aquarium.
2011 season:
10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. April 5
10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. April 19

More than 200 community leaders gathered earlier this month to celebrate the 78th anniversary of the St. Johns Welfare Federation and pay tribute to the organization's community service award recipient Mike Davis.
Davis has donated many years of service and resources to organizations in the community, and as he told the gathering, he firmly believes "in giving back to a community that gave so much to him when he was growing up."
"The Welfare Federation is financially stronger than it has ever been, though operating charitable programs on a 'continuum of care' basis is always a challenge," board president Mark Bailey told the gathering. "With continued support and managing efficiently, the future continues to look bright for our organization."
Also honored at the event was the 2008 Employee of the Year, Armetta Preston. Preston has been an employee of the organization for more than 20 years. Dr. Larry Lake, executive director and CEO of the organization since 1993, expressed gratitude for Preston's faithful service and expressed gratitude for the good work of all the employees who care for the residents, patients and clients of the many programs of the St. Johns Welfare Federation. The organization has 260 employees.
Other highlights
* Last year the St. Johns Welfare Federation received more than $400,000 contributed in cash, pledges, grants, support and in-kind contributions, and the federation provided more than $1.8 million dollars in charitable and uncompensated health care and community services last year.
* A Nature and Exercise Walkway, completed last year, is well used by residents and family members. The organization is grateful for the donating of funding and in-kind services to make this wonderful enhancement to the facility a reality.
* The BayView Home Health office has been relocated to a more convenient site with expanded space on U.S.1 South, at Southgate Square, Suite N.
* The Welfare Federation completed a bond refinancing, which has enhanced the financial strength.
Currently, the St. Johns Welfare Federation provides healthcare and charitable services to the citizens of St. Johns County through: the Samantha Wilson Care Center at Bayview, a 120-bed rehabilitation and skilled nursing center; The Pavilion at Bayview, a 59-bed assisted living facility; Buckingham Smith Assisted Living, a 36-bed subsidized assisted living facility; BayView Home Health, a Medicare certified home health agency; Community Charitable Assistance; and, Caring Hands Caring Community.

HOUSTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. energy company Apache Corp. announced plans to develop the Balnaves oil field off the coast of Australia, where production could reach 30,000 bpd.
Apache announced its subsidiary Apache Julimar was going ahead with production at the field off the coast of Western Australia. The field could reach peak production of 30,000 barrels per day and has a gross estimated resource of 17 million barrels of oil and 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Apache Region Vice President Thomas Maher said this was the company's third operation in Australia since 2007. With those prospects in place, he said in a statement, "Balnaves will add to our position as one of Australia's leading oil producers."
Apache described the project as a $438 million development. Development is scheduled for 2014.
The announcement follows the approval by the Australian government of Western Australia's Wheatstone natural gas project for U.S. supermajor Chevron.
The Wheatstone project consists of facilities that could produce nearly 9 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year, making it one of Australia's largest natural gas projects. Production is expected to start in 2016.

I heard ___ was amazing so I tried it and, meh, I'm unimpressed.
In a similar vein to the love/hate threads of late I thought this might be interesting. The X in question can be a recipe, cooking method, or particular product someone has raved to you about. I'll start off:
Salt-brining chicken before grilling it. I was unimpressed that the extra day's time was actually worth my effort. The homemade bbq sauce I made to go with it was stellar though...

This smells gorgeous and very edible (almost like coconut cream pie which by the way you cannot buy in the UK :(). The loose leaves are curled into wonderful yet coincidental shapes and spotted amongst them are pure white coconut strips.
Lets see the basics:
Look: Brown…like a coconut shell
Smell – Coconut
Taste: Coconut with earthy tones.
There you have it, this looks, smells and tastes like coconut so if you want a tea that literally is what it says it is then here we have a winner. The balance is nice between the ceylon and the coconut, it's not too strong or too weak but somewhere in the middle with no bad or bitter after tastes and no artificial sweetness.
Very enjoyable and relaxing.

LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — Lowndes County is going back to the drawing board to meet a new industry's needs. But county leaders say it shouldn't slow Cal Star down much.
Bids on the renovation and expansion of the county's 100-000-square-foot spec industrial building came in between $300,000 and $700,000 over estimates. The low bid was $4,010,000 and the estimates for the expansion, renovation and parking areas had been between $3.4 million and $3.7 million.
CalStar wasn't willing to make up the differnce. State and federal loans and grants are paying for much of the work and CalStar will repay the money through a lease agreement on the building, which was built five years ago in an efort to attract industries to the industrial park near Golden Triangle Regional Airport.
The site is across from Stark Aerospace.
Architects have met with CalStar to redesign the building to take new bids. They hope the changes will bring the project in under estimates and still allow construction to be completed by next summer.
The Wisconsin-based company plans to make environmentally friendly construction materials like bricks, pavers and stones.
CalStar's process doesn't use kiln-fires, takes less electricity and has few polluting emissions.
The plant will initially hire 17 people at least 58 within the next three years.

Lombardo Mini-Velo Made in Italy:
The frame is rigid but you can detach the stem, bars and pedals to pack the bike in a small space. Incidentally, that is now the mini-velo functions in Asia, where space is at a premium.
Well, I got my Lombardo Power 2000 today, put it together, and took it for a spin. Great bike, but it needs a serious tune-up. During shipping the chain got stuck in the shifting mechs on the pedals. All out of whack. I guess my LBS will be getting some business tomorrow.
Update: I checked out my gears, all are well. I tuned up the bike & have it running @95% ATM. I'll finish on Friday, and then get a new seat stem (so I can adjust the angle of my seat to a more safe & comfy riding position), and a adjustable stem for the handlebars (too low for meh!!!).
Now, one last comment,...this is not the fastest bike. Pretty good for my after work ride to go workout in the park. Not suited right now for commuting. Maybe later on,...but it does need tweaking/modding of the components.
I'll post pics at a later time,...and I didn't start a new thread since this is already available.
is this bike still made? teh original link is 404'd
The link in your post leads to a dead end. I managed to get one of the last P2000's.
I'm going to post a pic of it later today, after I put on my new adjustable stem & the better seat post. Then, it's test ride time!!!
Portapedal has this
Hot bike!!! But, they also only have 1 in stock.
tds... that is one snazzy looking bike! How does it ride? Inbetween a folder and a full size, or leaning more to one or the other?
It actually has quite good speed, but feels more like I'm riding a BMX bike - no folder feel at all! I wasn't expecting that,... I actually expected more of a hybrid type ride. Even a bit of flex. Real stiff and controlled ride. I love the way it handles, like part of your body. I'm not used to that,...but I'll adjust. But, I find it doesn't resemble the ride my Puma gives,...that's a big boy ride. This is just FUN!!!
Now all I need is a riser bar, maybe 3", so I'm not leaning so forward. If I didn't have a rotator cuff issue I'd say it's actually great as is. This bike, with the riser stem and different seat & seat post, is wonderful.
Once my shoulder gets better I'm going to use it to get some distance riding. I may even opt for a nice drop bar. I really am impressed with it.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Heh, call me Fred!!! ;)
Very cool tds... I'd be tempted to try to get one myself. My wife, however, thinks I have enough bikes... ahem... :)
Hmm, how strange. My wife feels the same way,... :p
K, I did an 8 mile street ride last night, and I had an issue with the front derailer. It went out of alignment, then when I made it home (thank GAWD!!!) the chain popped off and got wedged behind the crank sprockets. I gotta remove a link or 2 later today (after work) and see if there's any damage.
I may need a new chain,...at least. But, I'm somewhat of an aggressive rider, so I kind of expect this. I just get annoyed when it happens.
And this is my bike for riding the bike paths in Alley Pond Park & Cunningham Park in Queens, NY. I really need to get this bike tuned up correctly if I'm going to do the whole length of the connected paths.
EDIT: I fixed the problem. It's the limiting screws, and they're wonky. I'm going to end up taking it to the LBS no matter what. But, at least my chain, frame, and sprocket sustained no damage.
Now, no ride tonight - I rode my Puma to & from work today. I decided to enjoy the fact that the rain didn't fall in the morning or afternoon.
BUMP!!! Lombardo Power2000 is still going strong! A few scuffs and such, but totally enjoyable - especially with the Xootr Swift wheelset.
Now, to get the Xootr up to speed as well,...
That is a very cool bike. I like it. Glad to hear it's still going strong.
I'll post a newer pic later on. It's a bit different now, even if I do need to have the cables shortened a bit.
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a (nighttime, after my evening excursion) pic from my ride:
I'll post another, better, pic tomorrow during the daylight.
I do plan on putting a Dahon crank & chainring on it by the end of the year.

"I see myself in the role as band bodyguard, and I take that role very seriously."
-- Larry
Poll Results: Most Fans Say U2 Has 2 Albums Left Max
April 20, 2014
U2 fans aren't optimistic about the band having many more studio albums left in their career.
In a recent @U2 survey, almost 76 percent of fans said they think U2 will release two more studio albums or less. Almost 40 percent said there'll be only one more U2 studio album, and more than 12 percent said U2 won't release any more studio albums.
We posted the question on March 7th, the same day that Billboard magazine reported that U2's next album won't be released until 2015 -- a report that U2's spokespeople denied a couple days later. More than 3,400 fans voted during the two weeks that the poll was open.
On the flip side of the coin, 15 percent of fans think U2 will release three more studio albums and more than five percent voted "5 or more." Here are the full results.
One of the common things fans say when it looks like the new album gets pushed back is along the lines of "it gives us more time to save money for the next tour." So that's our new poll question: Have you started saving money for U2's next tour? Let us know by voting on our home page.

Wilwarin was one of the constellations of Arda.
Wilwarin was created by the Vala Varda. It was set in the heavens of Arda to welcome and give light to the Elves, who were just waking in Cuiviénen.[1]
J.R.R. Tolkien gave no description of the constellation, nor any counterpart in our modern-day constellations, but Christopher Tolkien suggested that it could be the commonly-known constellation Cassiopeia.[2] Cassiopeia is a plausible candidate for being Wilwarin as its "W"-shape is a reasonable match to that of a butterfly.
Wilwarin (wilwarind-, pl. wilwarindi) means "butterfly" in Quenya.[3]
Wilwarin comes from the same root (wil-, "fly, float in air") as the name for the Ring of Air, Vilya, and shares this common root with the Sindarin word gwilith, "air".[3]
Other versions of the legendarium
In early versions of Tolkien's notes, the name of the constellation is "Vilvarin".[4]
From other published writings, we know of a few other forms of the word wilwarin. The words wilwarindëa and wilwarindië (older Qenya form was wilwarindeën[5]) are the respective singular and plural forms meaning "like a wilwarin or butterfly".[6] We also know of the Qenya form wilwarindon, "as a butterfly".[5]

While the couple's abrupt exit was unique, it was also not regarded as criminal until the bones of Alexandra's husband were found more than a decade later. Private investigator Lincoln Perry has mixed feelings when an ex-con hires him to find Alexandra. It is a task that will challenge both Perry's abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling.
©2009 Michael Koryta; (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Edgar-finalist Koryta spins a dark tale of broken dreams and second chances in his stunning fourth mystery to feature Cleveland, Ohio, PI Lincoln Perry." (Publishers Weekly)
"Feisty plotting and the most memorable prose since Chandler. Koryta belongs on every genre reader's bookshelf." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Koryta writes with maturity and grace, delivering clipped, crisp prose and crackling suspense." (Booklist)
"Fine Book"
Michael Koryta is a gifted writer, probably in the top three writing in this genre today. The story was entertaining and usually engrossing, with only a few flat spots. As I often find, certain narrators are well matched for the book and Scott Brick does a masterful job setting the mood and defining the characters through his interpretation and delivery.
This is my second Koryta book and neither has disappointed. This was a credit well spent.
Highly recommended.
"Don't bother!"
Yes -- I would put some action into this book! Nothing happens and it takes a very long time for nothing!
Not at all. However, I would choose another author.
Even Scott Brick's narration could not breathe life into this dull plot. He's great; the story line is not.
I would sleep through the entire movie if it were actually made.
"Scott Brick cost this one a star."
This is my second Koryta novel. Both are good. I see why Michael Connelly recommends him. That said, I liked the one from my eReader a lot better because Scott Brick is getting a bad case of DickHillitis. I can't/won't listen to Dick Hill anymore and am close to cutting off Scott Brick. Every word they deliver is with the utmost gravity. This is the very definition of over-acting. Michael, PLEASE get a new narrator. Scott was good. He needs to dial it back. Send him to study under George Guidall for a while maybe.
"Loved it"
Great book why do I have to give a review on your terms of how many words when one sums it up
Brick can save any book ! So I was able to listen to the whole book .
But I really disliked Lincoln's character in this book. He was petty, whiney, and not a very good detective.
"Strange Mystery"
This story was a little strange--but it kept my interest. Many writers use too much filler, descriptions, unnecessary stuff--but Koryta was pretty much to the point. This was an involved mystery with a "backstory" that was eventually revealed. While interesting, it was basically unbelievable. However, I am planning to read more of his books.
"I'm Out of This!"
That seemed to be a constant statement of Lincoln Perry in this novel. Not too far into the book I wanted to be out of it too! Perry is hired by an ex-con to find the con's previous employer. This client told Perry a story about his close, meaningful, platonic friendship with the wife, and how much she had helped him. Then, one day, she and her husband just disappeared off of the face of the earth. He wanted to know, once and for all, what happened to her.
Perry doesn't want to take the case, but reluctantly agrees to make a few quick inquiries because this convicted murderer seems to have been rehabilitated, and seems sincere. One thing leads to another, and every time Perry thinks he has washed his hands of this case, something else comes along and he reluctantly agrees to stay involved in solving the mystery of the disappearance of this couple. The annoying part of this story is that Perry complains about his involvement all the way through the book. I'm not talking about once or twice. I'm talking about what seemed to be about every 30 minutes in the story! It drove me nuts! If Koryta wanted Perry to be effective in his role as a detective, let the man be a detective, and stop complaining about it! I think Koryta made a huge error in his development of the story and Perry's lack of interest in this case. It brought me to the point that I lost interest in the mystery, and just wanted it to be over with, right along with Perry.
Aside from that, I chose this book because it was Koryta's most recent book, and I erroneously presumed that after four books, this fledgling novelist would have been able to grow and develop his writing skills. I was extremely disappointed in the writing in this book, and I found Koryta to be one of the worst authors I have discovered on Audible. I really only finished the book because I hate to waste credits, and I kept hoping it would get better. It didn't.
Save your credit on this one, and use it for a really good book!
"Couldn't have been more disappointed!"
Scott Brick's narration was absolutely awful! To differentiate people, he just used a soft voice for everyone except Lincoln. And every conversation was SO intense and dramatic. Very unrealistic. I couldn't wait for him to stop. I have really enjoyed a lot of other Michael Koryta books, but between the really stupid plot and horrible narration, I feel duped.
I'll possibly listen to an earlier performance, but for now, as another reviewer said he goes on the Dick Hill list of narrators to avoid.
My first Audible review, and I have listened to hundreds of books, but I couldn't help but relate my absolute disappoint in the story and narration. Sorry.
"okay but didn't live up to expectations"
I still love the characters but this particular narrative felt tedious. Almost as if the author channeled his own apathy into the story
"Love Michael Koryta,"
You must read all his books. they are awesome, can't wait till August 18th for his new one.

Some really tough news for Mets fans this week with the news that Matt Harvey could be headed for Tommy John surgery. We'll touch on that, a trade and other roster moves in this week's edition of Bats and Balls.
Who is going to "replace" Matt Harvey?
If not for the dominant presence of Clayton Kershaw, Harvey would have been firmly in the running for the NL Cy Young award. That, of course, is out the window with the awful news that Harvey has a partially torn UCL in his elbow, a condition that seems to point toward the Mets' ace undergoing Tommy John surgery. Harvey has a 2.27 ERA (2nd-NL) in 26 starts this year with 191 strikeouts (1st-NL), numbers that Kershaw now appears to be a lock to lead the league in. Hopefully, he's able to avoid surgery, but that seems unlikely. As for who replaces Harvey, no one truly can, but this probably means that both Daisuke Matsuzaka and Carlos Torres will be part of the rotation. As a comp, this is like the Dodgers losing Kershaw and replacing him with Matt Magill.
On the bright side, the Mets do have one of baseball's top prospects in Noah Syndergaard. Syndergaard has taken a bit step forward since arriving in the deal involving R.A. Dickey, as he has a 133:28 K:BB and 3.06 ERA between High-A and Double-A this season. He doesn't have Harvey's ceiling (few do), but if he can stay healthy and avoid being the Bill Pulsipher to Harvey's Paul Wilson, the Mets should have a bright future in their rotation. For now, though, it seems unlikely we'll see Syndergaard before mid-2014, but he is a name to keep an eye on.
What can we expect from Taijuan Walker?
Answer: a lot.
Walker is Seattle's most highly-rated pitching prospect since Felix Hernandez, and after releasing Aaron Harang, he's the top contender to start Friday against the Astros. Not a bad team to debut against, eh? The 21-year-old Walker advanced to Triple-A this year after posting a 2.46 ERA and 10.3 K/9 in the Double-A Southern League. It's been a little more bumpy (3.64 ERA) at the Triple-A level, but Walker pitches in some very hitter-friendly parks, so we'll focus more on the fact that in his last 16.1 innings, he's struck out 24 batters. The 6-foot-6 right-hander has been clocked in the upper-90s with his fastball, and his secondary stuff is reportedly improved greatly this year. Walker may be best-known at this point for being the centerpiece in the failed deal involving Justin Upton, but soon enough, he's going to be known for his results on the mound. Go ahead and add him in all but the shallowest of formats, particularly given his opponent on Friday.
Sorting out the Milwaukee outfield
We certainly didn't think that this would be a crowded outfield after Ryan Braun accepted his 65-game suspension, but that's exactly what we have. Carlos Gomez and Norichika Aoki would seem to be in line to play most every day, especially considering the left-handed hitter Aoki is batting .331/.370/.378 versus southpaws. That leaves Logan Schafer, Khris Davis, and Caleb Gindl fighting over left field and the scraps at the other two positions. Let's break down each plyer:
Logan Schafer - Schafer is more of a defensive specialist, as he's hitting .221 and rarely plays. He's not a credible threat to the playing time of the next two guys.
Khris Davis - Considering Davis is batting a robust .333/.409/.716 with eight home runs and two steals in just 81 at-bats, he should be considered an everyday player, and a player to roster in all formats while this streak lasts. Davis had been hitting a modest .255/.349/.473 for Triple-A Nashville to his recall, so this streak is a bit of a mirage, but he does have power and can run a bit. Expect him to play most every day.
Caleb Gindl - Gindl is on the outside looking in, but he did homer in his last start Sunday after a pinch-hit homer the day before. For the year in 83 at-bats, Gindl is batting a solid .289/.366/.494, but it's just tough to see where the playing time will come from. He probably gets two starts a week and a handful of pinch-hitting appearances.
Is this the real Brett Lawrie?
Lawrie has apparently awoken from a season-long slumber, batting .362/.400/.521 through his first 94 at-bats this month. This after missing about seven weeks with an ankle injury. Lawrie came into the month batting just .212, but he's quickly turned it around in August, even if the two home runs are a disappointment. After posting a .953 OPS in a 150 at-bat rookie season back in 2011, Lawrie appeared poised to become an All-Star. He also seemed to wind his way onto several of fantasy teams, eventually leading me to scramble for a new third baseman. So what's different about his August from his April-July?:
Health - Counting the time he was hurt but not actually on the DL, Lawrie essentially missed two months. After returning on July 13, you have to figure it took him several games to get back up to speed, and apparently that has happened.
Contact - Lawrie is really seeing the ball well, striking out in just 5 percent of his August plate appearances.
A little luck? - His BABIP for August is .368 after a .195 mark in July. We always say this is a number that eventually regresses toward .300, and that's happening.
He's running - Lawrie is just 4-for-7 in steal attempts this month, but when you consider that he had three attempts all year prior to August, this is a good sign that his legs are feeling good.
All that said, I'm bullish on Lawrie. He's healthy, hitting and has a lot of excellent bats around him in that lineup.
Is Rickie Weeks done in Milwaukee?
If Scooter Gennett can hit anywhere near his current .317/.357/.538 over extended at-bats, the answer to that question has to be a "yes." Weeks, though, is making $12 million next year, so unless the Brewers are willing to eat somewhere in the range of 80 percent of that deal, it's possible Weeks will at least start 2014 as the team's second baseman. Gennett, though, has been a revelation, blasting five homers in just 104 at-bats after tallying three all year in Triple-A. Gennett is listed at 5-10, 157, so he could probably stand to pack on a few more pounds. Even with that, he's shown excellent power, giving us some optimism that he could develop into a 20-homer hitter in a couple years. Expect Weeks (plus) cash to be shopped around this winter, but either way, expect Gennett to lead the team in at-bats by a second baseman next year.
How the deal with the Mets impacts the Pirates
Tuesday, the Pirates fortified their roster by acquiring Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the reeling Mets in exchange for a minor leaguer and a PTBNL. The Reds actually had waiver priority over the Pirates, so I'm confused why they didn't put in a claim, if no other reason than to block the Pirates from acquiring Byrd. Even so, the Reds could have used Byrd considering their primary left fielder, Ryan Ludwick, has a .686 OPS. Byrd immediately becomes the team's starting right fielder, so whose value is affected most by the move? Here are a few players:
Andrew Lambo - Lambo blasted 32 homers in the minors this season before being called up earlier this month. He's just 2-for-14 with the big club, so he'll just be a bat off the bench the rest of the. The good news for Lambo is that Byrd is only signed through this season, so he could compete for a starting job next spring.
Jose Tabata - Tabata is batting .269/.342/.403, and while there is still time considering he's just 24, he's yet to develop into the player the Pirates had hoped he would, especially in the power department. Tabata will continue to see regular at-bats until Starling Marte returns from a finger injury, but as RotoWire posted on Tuesday, Marte may not even swing a bat for two more weeks, calling into question his ability to return before the playoffs.
Travis Snider - Snider is still rehabbing a toe injury, but he should be up when rosters expand next month. It's tough to see him getting enough playing time to be a fantasy factor this year.
Travis d'Arnaud - D'Arnaud was probably already the primary catcher, but Buck's departure removes that one shred of doubt. Anthony Recker will back up d'Arnaud, but Recker is a 29-year-old batting .193, so his at-bats will be kept to a minimum.
Eric Young Jr. - Young was given the day off against the lefty Alex Wood on Monday, but he should play fairly regularly. Young's numbers are modest, including a .311 OBP and two homers in over 400 PA, but 29 steals is 29 steals, and he's still seeing at-bats at the top of the lineup.
Juan Lagares - Lagares has a .293 OBP without a lot of power, but it's possible he could see a few more at-bats. He's still only to be rostered in fairly deep formats despite the fact he's receiving fairly regular playing time.
Andrew Brown - Brown may see a little more playing time, but he's probably more likely to continue to see most of his at-bats versus lefties.
Jason Kubel gets designated for assignment
Kubel was batting just .220/.288/.324, but it was still surprising to see Arizona cut him loose given his $7.5 million salary and the 30 homers he tallied last year. Still, the drop-off was severe, and with Arizona unlikely to mount a charge against the Dodgers, the organization is taking a look at other players. With Cody Ross done for the year with a hip injury, the Diamondbacks have close to $16 million in dead money in their outfield. So who's left and who could see a value change as a result of this news? Let's look at a few players:
Adam Eaton/Gerardo Parra/A.J. Pollock - This should be your starting outfield. Eaton is the most intriguing of the trio. Eaton is 8-for-23 in his last five games with just two strikeouts in that span to match his stolen base total. He's up to .260/.343/.370, and there appears to be top-of-the-order skills in abundance here. Eaton has yet to exhibit much in the way of power, but the ability is there to be a .300/.370/.425 type of guy with plenty of stolen bases.
Tony Campana - With Matt Davidson failing to distinguish himself (.412 OPS in 30 PA's) in his brief run at third base, that means Martin Prado shifts back to third, with Campana becoming the fourth outfielder. Campana has actually started the past four games, so perhaps he's going to be playing more than we think. He entered Tuesday's action batting .345/.457/.414 in 35 PA and has already swiped five bases. Campana looks to be one of the fastest guys in the game, but you know what they say, right? You can't steal first base. Campana did have a .354 OBP for Triple-A Reno, but you and I could probably fare OK at the plate in that hitting environment. As a big leaguer, Campana's OBP is just .299 and considering he has little power, he only has value if he can continue to get on base. It appears that Arizona may give him a long look, so if you need steals, he's an option.
My top-10 pitchers and hitters for 2014
By next week, Bats and Balls will start to look more toward 2014. Sure, we'll focus on some players to help you down the stretch, but in keeper leagues, if you're like me, you're starting to position your team for the future if you're not looking at winning in 2013. In that vein, here's a few thoughts on how my 2014 draft board might be shaping up:
1. Mike Trout (LAA) - There may not be a more obvious No. 1/2 in recent times. Edge here goes to Trout for his youth and SB ability.
2. Miguel Cabrera (DET) - May be the "safest" fantasy pick ever.
3. Andrew McCutchen (PIT) - Has really turned it on in recent weeks.
4. Joey Votto (CIN) - A pure professional hitter. You know what you're getting here.
5. Robinson Cano (NYY for now) - I suspect he'll stay a Yankee, but the Dodgers will be in the mix.
6. Bryce Harper (WAS) - Walke rate has improved from 9.4 to 12.9 percent, and when you are 20 years old with a .888 OPS and that's considered a relative disappointment, you have a bright future.
7. Chris Davis (BAL) - Tough to see him repeating, but I don't see a Brady Anderson situation here either. Remember, he did have 33 homers in 2012.
8. Carlos Gonzalez (COL) - As long as he doesn't move to a less hitter-friendly park, CarGo should continue to be a second-round pick.
9. Evan Longoria (TB) - As long as he's healthy (and he has been this year), Longoria is one of the better and more consistent players in the game.
10. Ryan Braun (MIL) - End of round two in a 12-team mixed league? Yeah I'm biting.
1. Clayton Kershaw (LAD) - Pretty obvious one here.
2. Felix Hernandez (SEA) - Have we seen his best? Maybe, but I see it being a very slow decline.
3. Yu Darvish (TEX) - No starter is close to his 12.1 K/9, so if you want to put him No. 2, I'm OK with that.
4. Max Scherzer (DET) - He's not always going to win 95 percent of his first 20 decisions, but Scherzer has always missed bats.
5. Stephen Strasburg (WAS) - Don't see him being 6-9 in late-August next year.
6. David Price (TB) - Not as good this year, but still has plenty of good years ahead of him, likely with a team that can afford his soon-to-be mega contract.
7. Jose Fernandez (MIA) - I still don't like the decision to have him start the season with the team, but he's the only reason I tune into Marlins games.
8. Justin Verlander (DET) - Velocity down a bit, but he's still not falling out of my top-10.
9. Adam Wainwright (STL) - Has a higher WAR than Kershaw, but that doesn't mean I'm drafting him ahead of the LA ace.
10. Madison Bumgarner (SF) - Steady and reliable, with another step forward left in him.

Ghostface Killah's prominence in hip hop has grown steadily over his 20-plus year career including recent high-profile appearances on Kanye West's Cruel Summer, the critically-acclaimed soundtrack to RZA's film The Man With The Iron Fists and the new Wu-Block album. Twelve Reasons To Die catches the gifted MC at the height of his lyrical prowess, and to celebrate this album announcement, Soul Temple is offering a free download of the first single, "The Rise of the Ghostface Killah."
Adrian Younge represents the next generation of black music producers. Twelve Reasons is Younge's first project immersed in the world of rap and hip hop, and his aim is to deliver an organic re-appropriation of hip-hop circa the mid-90s. Younge's previous releases, the Black Dynamite (2009) soundtrack and Something About April (2011) touched on psychedelia, 'blaxploitation,' and the cinematic soul of the 1970s.

LG Spectrum 2 with Wireless Charging Available Today

Still Skeptical
LG looks like they're releasing lots of high end devices lately, but are they high quality? The Optimus G is, but that doesnt mean anything else they make it. I just can't feel good about purchasing an LG phone based on past experiences. Right now i'm trying to decide between an LG Optimus L5, or a Samsung Galaxy W, and I have to chose the Galaxy W, mainly, becuase it's not made by LG.
VZW lists this device as having a dual-core processor. Is that a typo on PS's part?
Hmm, one press release says quad-core and another says dual-core. Double-checking with Verizon. Thanks for pointing that out.
Great Specs
but too bad the first Spectrum was not very good. Hopefully, LG stepped its game up on this one.
