Betsy Pandora, the next executive director of the Short North Alliance, is said to have the respect of the arts community.
The new executive director of the Short North Alliance already has her first day on the job mapped out.
Betsy Pandora will bike to work and then "spend time with the staff, take a walk around the Short North and visit with our business owners and property owners," said the 29-year-old, who starts her new job on Aug. 12.
Pandora's goal is to help the nonprofit organization continue its mission to promote business and the arts in the district. That includes making the Short North more accessible to visitors through improved parking, public transportation and more opportunities to walk and bike to the district.
"This is one of the best places in the city, one of the most-exciting places to be; who wouldn't want to work here?" she said.
Pandora is coordinator of the city's Healthy Places program, which encourages residents to get out and be more active. It sponsors the Columbus Arts Walks and Columbus Green Walks.
She previously worked in the education department of the Wexner Center for the Arts, and she has a master's degree in city and regional planning from the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State University.
"These are exciting times for the Short North, and we've found a dynamic, imaginative leader to take us forward," said Joel Pizzuti in a statement. He is president of Pizzuti Cos., a local developer, and also president of the alliance's board of directors.
The Pizzuti Cos. recently started construction on a$65 million project on High Street in the Short North. It will include an upscale boutique hotel, an office building and a 313-space parking garage.
Several other projects under construction in the district will add residents and retail space.
Pandora was an intern at Experience Columbus while working on her master's degree.
"She's the perfect fit for this position," said Scott Peacock, spokesman for the city's convention and visitors bureau. "She has the respect of the arts community, which is very important in the Short North, and she has a strategic mindset and ability to see the bigger picture."
That bigger picture in the Short North means even more of what has turned the district into a popular attraction.
"We were looking for someone who could move the district forward, getting us national recognition," said Michelle Brandt of Brandt-Roberts Galleries and a member of the alliance's board. "More than anything, Betsy was hired for her enthusiasm and her innovative, forward thinking."
Improved parking is another key driver for the Short North.
"As we speak, we're undergoing a parking study," Brandt said. "We know people love to come down to the Short North, but we also know parking can be an issue and a deterrent, and it behooves us to figure it out."

U.S. Car Sales May Fall Short Of Expectations
Chrysler will add shifts - but avoid investing in new plants - as the US market continues to recover. It could be a big year for the U.S. auto industry. After an unexpectedly strong close to 2012, most analysts anticipate the market will grow by as much as another million units this year – even more if Washington lawmakers can come up with a long-term solution to the nation's debt and taxes debate. Yet, while 15.5 million vehicles would mark the strongest sales the industry has experienced since the start of the long recession, the bad news is that this would still be well short of the more than 17 million peak the industry experienced during the middle of the last decade.

Are you really this dense?
IF, IF, IF. A bunch of IFs. Not one of them proves my point that he could have accidentally brought it into the store.
The fact is, no matter how you try to paint it, making the mall a gun-free zone would not have "indeed prevented" this incident.
The simple fact is you're trying to making it look like making the mall a gun-free zone would prevent incidents like this. It won't. It could only reduce their likelihood. But saying that wouldn't suit your agenda, would it? You're trying to paint a picture for the reader that differs from reality. End of story.
And I tend to think this idiot would have brought it in regardless of any signage, seen or unseen. Unless the sign came down and smacked me in the head, I'm sure I'd probably miss it. I don't read the 7,000 signs, ads, and other nonsense shoved in my face day-in, and day-out.
Not "a bunch" of IFs. Just like ONE assumptions is not "a lot", no matter how you try to spin it.
So, your point is that someone legally carrying a firearm might forget they're got it on them? Or that they might forget the mall was a gun-free zone?
I won't deny that's possible, but we're not talking absolutes. That's YOU assuming that someone could be so careless, which is much more of a stretch than me assuming the person with the firearm is law-abiding.
It's also not germaine to the original argument, spin doctor:
IF the man was law-abiding (enough to obey a gun-free zone), and IF the mall was posted as a gun-free zone
(Just two IFs there, but that's how you construct an argument)
THEN this incident would not have occurred because the man would have obeyed the signs and not had a gun on him.
Simple and concise. ONE assumtion (not the "lots of" you complained about ) and two IFs (because that's how you construct an argument). No agendas, outside of your paranoid fantasies.
And, to be clear, the original thread was about CRIMINALS disregarding gun-free zones, not new legislation.
So, might he forget he was carrying a gun? Possible, but unlikely. Might he ignore the signs? Not if he's law-abiding. Might he miss the signs? Yes, it's possible, but unlikely if they're properly displayed and he wasn't a completely oblivious moron.
Therefore, while the probability isn't 100%, there is a good likelihood that posting the mall as a gun-free zone would have indeed prevented this accident. Or, as you put it, reduced its likelihood.
I'm all for anything that reduces the likelihood of getting gunned down at the mall.

Month-by-Month Guide to Vegetable Gardening
The bottom line: Since this month tends to be unpredictable weather-wise, have row covers at the ready for any late-season frosts or freezes
that might damage perennials.
Outside: Most vegetables prefer a slightly acidic soil (6.0 to 6.8 pH); pick up a pH test kit at a garden center to make sure yours
is in the right range. No such luck? Make adjustments as recommended on the package, using organic matter to increase or decrease
the soil's acidity. Even if your test is good, you should amend the soil—i.e., add conditioners, such as compost, peat moss,
or coir (coconut fiber), that improve its texture—yearly, and give perennial vegetables a boost by "side dressing" it with
organic compost or aged manure. (Scatter the fertilizer along the sides of a row of plants; turn it into the existing soil
with a spading fork and rake it smooth.) If you're stuck with soil that's beyond saving, consider building raised beds instead
and filling them with good soil.
Inside: Start seeds of warm season crops such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, pumpkin, snap beans, squash, and sweet corn.
Use a garden thermometer to determine if the soil temperature is at or above 40ºF. When it gets there, start planting (or
"setting out," in garden lingo) the seeds you've started for cool-season crops: kale, lettuce, spinach, and onions.
At the end of the month, plant peas. If the ground is wet and muddy, hold off so you don't destroy the soil by working in
it too soon.

Staff was very helpful and the location is wonderful because it is walking distance to a lot of places.

The hotel is old, but very well kept. I love the character of historical places. The room and bedding were very cozy. It's located in the heart of downtown Traverse City, so it's easy walking to shopping and restaurants.
November 24, 2013
Business Traveler
The location of this hotel in downtown Traverse City is great for all downtown needs. There are numerous restaurants, pubs, shops, and stores all within walking distance. Parking, for this time of year, was easily accessible. I understand that that may not be the case during times of higher tourist traffic. Although I did not use any of the in-house dining facilities, they were generally busy and reasonably priced. The workout room is adequate and the pool is large and rectangle-shaped for swimming laps if one needs a water workout. I would certainly look to stay here again if I had a reason to be in downtown T.C. again. ...

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Traverse City. It has very friendly and helpful staff. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of shops near by for those who like to browse.

Park Place is an iconic hotel that has dominated the TC skyline for a long time. It is well kept, 1 block(!) from downtown, and parking is free. There is the older tower (8 floors), and the newer section (2 floors). We stayed in the tower, and although rooms are smallish, they are delightful. One surprise: Going from our 7th floor room to the lobby took seconds! This is one advantage of a tower vs. horizontal motels. Nice. Place is well kept, staffed well, and as up to date as a hotel of this age can be. WE LOVED THE PLACE. Rooms are stylish, comfortable, and quiet. Views are awesome if you're higher up. Although we didn't make it up, the Beacon Lounge is a bar on the top floor that has picture window views all around. You can get pizza and desserts too. Nice feature. They have a domed pool on ground floor. Didn't try it. An added treat was room service from the restaurant onsite, Minerva's. We didn't want to trek out in the cold to get supper, so we consulted a GREAT menu in the room, ordered, and it was at our door in 20 minutes! Aside from the cost of food (reasonable) they added an 18% gratuity. We normally tip 20% at a restaurant, so this was quite a deal. Food was good, and breakfast is available too. By the way, room service is romantic! You WON'T get a free continental breakfast.. not that kind of place. Minerva's serves breakfast if you want it, or get room service from them. Appreciated the thermostat. The HVAC unit is not in the room, you can set the exact temp, and it works well. After wrestling with those noisy 'units' in every motel in the land, this was nice. Wi-Fi is available, but needs work. Kept losing signal, and others have commented on the same. I'm sure they will fix it soon. CONCLUSION: I don't want to stay anywhere else when in TC. And we've stayed in this town often since our honeymoon. First time in the Park Place, and we can't wait to get back. ...

Excellent. Would recommend.
October 19, 2013
The hotel was fantastic, however Priceline and the hotel both charged our account for the price of the hotel. Upon contacting Priceline, they indicated that the refund request would be looked into within 5 business days. Additionally, the cost of the hotel was more when booking through Priceline. It would have been less expensive, by almost $20, if we had just walked in to the hotel and booked a room. Priceline has no price guarantee once a room is booked. ...

Angels' competition getting tougher …
The American League West didn't necessarily, well, impress last year.
Here's how it stacked up in combined wins …
AL East: 433
NL Central: 421
AL Central: 400
NL West: 399
NL East: 391
AL West: 387
And here's where it ranked in run-differential …
AL East: 235
NL Central: 219
AL Central: 0
NL West: -137
AL West: -138
NL East: -179
But AL West teams have been particularly aggressive in the early portion of this offseason — and yes, it's worth reminding all of you that it is, indeed, still early — which could make for an interesting dynamic in 2014, and should make the Angels' return to the postseason that much tougher.
The Mariners just reeled in the biggest free agent of the offseason, snatching Robinson Cano from the Yankees via a reported 10-year, $240-million, Albert Pujols-like contract. No, they aren't an instant contender. And as the Angels themselves have shown, throwing the most dollars at the best free agent in no way guarantees success. But this is an important building block for a Mariners team that has always struggled to land the big names (see: Josh Hamilton and Prince Fielder). At some point, you have to overpay to lay a foundation (the Mets thought the same thing with Curtis Granderson). This reminds me of the Jayson Werth deal the Nationals made three offseasons ago. It was a vast overpay at seven years and $126 million. But at that time, it was the only way the Nats were going to land a premier free agent. Adding Werth — even if he isn't a star to the magnitude of Cano — changed the expectations in Washington and ultimately helped make it a place where free agents wanted to play. Same can happen in Seattle, where the Mariners are showing a willingness to spend. And if they trade for David Price — they have the prospects to do it — watch out.
In the words of one executive, "The A's may have one of the best bullpens in history." It's not much of an exaggeration when you consider that they added Luke Gregerson to a group that includes Jim Johnson, Ryan Cook, Jerry Blevins, Sean Doolittle, etc. Their rotation — Jarrod Parker, A.J. Griffin, Scott Kazmir, Dan Straily, Sonny Gray, in whatever order — is darn good, as well. But here's the most important part about the current A's: After back-to-back exits in the Division Series, they're going for it. You don't trade for one season of Johnson, flip a talented prospect (Michael Choice) for Craig Gentry or give Kazmir a two-year, $22 million contract if you aren't.
Then there are the Rangers, who you just know have another big more or two in them. I actually liked the Fielder-for-Ian Kinsler deal for them (and loved it for the Tigers). They're paying Fielder $138 million over the next seven years, which is very reasonable for a guy whose home-run rate will inflate in Texas and who gives them the middle-of-the-order bat they've been missing since Hamilton left. Over the last four years, the Rangers have the third-best regular-season winning percentage in the Majors (.570, trailing only the Yankees and Braves) and have been to the World Series twice. They had the 10th-best staff ERA in baseball last year, and they surely aren't done.
Even the Astros have made some moves. They reached agreement on a three-year, $30 million deal with starter Scott Feldman — a guy the Angels would've liked, but not for three years — and previously traded for former Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler. They were easily dead last in 2013 in winning percentage (.315) and run-differential (minus-238), so they're a ways away. But they have the second-best farm system in the Majors, per Baseball America, and they're on their way.
What does all this mean for the Angels?
Well, nothing. At least not now.
They have about $15 million and some trade chips — Howie Kendrick still chief among them — to fill two spots in their starting rotation. They still have baseball's best player in Mike Trout, two premier superstars in Pujols and Hamilton, two legit starters at the top of their rotation in Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson, and a bullpen that can be among the deepest in baseball if Sean Burnett returns to full health. If they can sign someone like Matt Garza, they're no doubt a legit playoff contender, regardless of how bad this past season turned out for them.
But their competition just keeps getting better.

Angels sign Volstad to Minor League deal …
The Angels have signed starting pitcher Chris Volstad to a Minor League deal with a Spring Training invite.
Volstad, 27, was the 16th overall pick by the Marlins in 2005. The 6-foot-8 righty had a solid rookie season in '08, posting a 2.88 ERA in 15 games (14 starts), but was never able to duplicate that.
Over the next four years, the last of which was spent with the Cubs, Volstad compiled a 5.14 ERA and averaged 153 innings per season. Last year, he spent the vast majority of the season — minus six relief appearances — pitching for the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in the Pacific Coast League, posting a 4.58 ERA, a 1.57 WHIP and a 1.30 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 127 2/3 innings.
Volstad, currently pitching in winter ball at the Dominican Republic, joins relievers Josh Wall and Robert Carson as minor pitching additions in the early portion of the offseason. But unlike the latter two, Volstad is not on the 40-man roster.

Don Baylor returns to Angels as new hitting coach …
The Angels have hired former All-Star Don Baylor as their new hitting coach.
Baylor, who won the American League's Most Valuable Player Award with the Angels in 1979, spent the last three years as a hitting coach with the Diamondbacks and has been a big league manager for nine years, with the Rockies from 1993-98 and with the Cubs from 2000-02.
Baylor replaces Jim Eppard, who was dismissed along with bench coach Rob Picciolo on Oct. 8. He is the club's third hitting coach in the last 17 months, dating back to Mickey Hatcher's dismissal on May 15, 2012.
"Don enjoyed a distinguished playing career, highlighted by his tenure with the Angels during their first two division championships," Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. "As a coach, he brings us tremendous expertise in the areas of hitting, communication and presence. It's nice to have him home."
Dipoto spent time with Baylor when the Angels' general manager played for Baylor in Colorado in the late 1990s and had him in his staff when he was an executive in Arizona.
Baylor will be entering his 22nd season in either a managing or coaching capacity in 2014. Along with his managerial tenure and his time with the D-backs, Baylor has been a hitting coach with the Brewers (1990-91), Cardinals ('92), Braves ('99), Mariners ('05) and Rockies (2009-10). He was also the Mets' bench coach from 2003-04 and compiled a 627-689 record as skipper, earning National League Manager of the Year honors in 1995.
Before that, Baylor – a member of the Angels Hall of Fame – was a former All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger Award winner during a 19-year career as an outfielder that spanned from 1970-88. He joined the Angels as a free agent in November 1976 and posted a .262/.337/.448 slash line in a six-year career in Anaheim, adding 141 homers and 523 RBIs while leading them to their first playoff appearance in 1979.
The Angels are still searching for a new third-base coach and an additional coach.

Angels in search of a backup catcher …
The Angels, feeling a little uneasy about Hank Conger's throwing woes, are in search of a veteran backup catcher as Spring Training winds down, an industry source confirmed to MLB.com on Saturday. Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com first reported the Angels' interest.
Conger, 25, came into camp as the clear-cut favorite to back up catcher Chris Iannetta and has hit well, batting .381 with two homers and 11 RBIs. The Angels like the switch-hitting Conger — who has always hit and has come a long way with his footwork and receiving skills behind the plate — but they need him to correct his throwing issues, which led to three errant throws on Sunday to up his spring total to at least five.
With rosters being pared down this time of year, the Angels will look to the waiver wire to add a steady, inexpensive, veteran presence behind the plate. They have an open spot on the 40-man roster after slipping Bobby Cassevah, now with the Rockies, through waivers. They'll have some competition, though, with the Phillies, Pirates and Rays also looking for catching help, according to MLB.com's Peter Gammons.
The Angels still believe in Conger. So in the event of an acquisition, they're likely to option him to Triple-A to start the season so he can find the consistent release point that has eluded him. Conger has one option year left. John Hester (on the 40-man) and Luke Carlin (a non-roster invitee) are the other two catchers technically vying for the backup job, but both have had very inconsistent time in the Majors throughout their careers.

So, who rounds out the Angels' bullpen? …
Remember all that talk about the Angels' bullpen being deeper, better heading into 2013? Well, that'll probably be the case eventually, but leading up to Opening Day, a setback and some spring disappointments have made it a bit difficult to identify the seven relievers who will begin the regular season with the big club.
With 17 days left until the April 1 opener in Cincinnati, and Ryan Madson opening the season on the disabled list, five relievers are still set: righties Kevin Jepsen and Ernesto Frieri, lefties Sean Burnett and Scott Downs, and long man Jerome Williams.
That leaves two spots and some haziness because …
Michael Kohn, who progressed very quickly from April 2012 Tommy John surgery, has struggled with mechanics and off-speed pitches in recent outings and was optioned to Minor League camp on Friday.
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, signed as a Minor League free agent from Japan, was released in early March because he wasn't throwing as hard as they expected.
Bobby Cassevah — homegrown, out of options and coming off a rough 2012 — cleared waivers and opted for free agency, eventually hooking on with the Rockies.
Veteran Tony Pena had a setback from Tommy John and is trying to work through it in Minor League camp.
Lefty Brandon Sisk, acquired for Ervin Santana and most of his salary, was sent down about a week ago.
Fernando Cabrera, another veteran obtained on a Minor League deal, has spent most of the spring pitching for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic (2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 SO).
Andrew Taylor, the lefty who had a very brief stint with the Angels as a September callup, has a slight tear in his labrum and won't pitch for a while. Granted, he didn't really have a chance anyway.
With that out of the way, here are the options the Angels are left with (keep in mind that the seventh relief spot — the team hopes — may only be relevant for a few weeks, until Madson comes off the DL) …
Garrett Richards
I identified him early in camp as a guy who seems poised to land a full-year bullpen spot, and more than a month in, there's no reason to change my mind. Yes, his future is best as a starter. Yes, the Angels will preserve starting-pitching depth by keeping Richards stretched out in the Minors. Yes, Richards struggled as a reliever last year. But Richards' stuff plays as a reliever, he should be better if his role remains consistent, it's time for him to be up in the big leagues for a full season, and putting him on the roster gives the Angels their best 25 heading into the season (I don't think that's up for dispute). Besides, they have better rotation depth 6-10 than they did last year.
Nick Maronde
In some ways, Maronde's situation is quite the opposite of Richards' — his future is probably as a reliever, but it's probably best to keep him stretched out in the Minors. Why? He's still developing and the Angels don't need another lefty. Even with how camp has gone, I still expect Maronde to start for Triple-A Salt Lake, getting some valuable experience heading into a potential bullpen role in 2014 (with Downs a lingering free agent).
David Carpenter
That last spot may be Carpenter's to lose at this point. In 2012, the 25-year-old right-hander posted a 4.76 ERA in 39 2/3 innings in the big leagues and a 2.75 ERA in 19 2/3 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. But he hasn't really stuck out this spring, giving up three runs on seven hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings.
Chad Cordero
"The Chief" is a fantastic story, but he can't really make the team out of Spring Training … right? "Never say never," one member of the organization said. He is still in camp, and he bounced back in his last outing five days ago. Still, though, a long, long shot.
Lefty Mitch Stetter, the longtime Brewers reliever, hasn't pitched yet because of a bulging disk in his back that was bothering him early in camp, but he's expected to get in a game at some point this weekend. … Robert Coello, 28, appeared in six games with the Blue Jays last year and has given up five runs in 2 2/3 innings this spring. … Kevin Johnson, who posted a 3.69 ERA in the Angels' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates last year, has given up four runs in 5 2/3 Cactus League innings.
Outside help?
The likes of Francisco Rodriguez, Jose Valverde and Brian Wilson, among others, are still out there, and the Angels do have an open spot on the 40-man. Not sure anyone available is an upgrade, though.
Angels 12, White Sox 4 …
Angels starters put together a nice game on Thursday — perhaps the most complete game of a spring that had only produced three victories through the first 17 Cactus League contests.
The first three members of the lineup (Mike Trout, Howie Kendrick and Albert Pujols) combined to go 6-for-9 with five runs scored. The starting pitcher (Jason Vargas) gave up a run in 4 2/3 innings. And the Angels played a solid game defensively, which had eluded them most of the month.
"Some guys are starting to get into their 15th, 20th at-bat, and they're starting to see the ball the way they should," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're swinging the bats well and running the bases well. We have to keep building from this, and as spring moves on, we have to keep building our bullpen and getting guys where they need. That's going to be critical for us."
The good
Trout is in midseason form, it seems. He homered to lead off the game, just missed a homer his second time up — resulting in a double, which gave him an extra-base hit in four straight at-bats — and stole a base after reaching on a fielder's choice in his last plate appearance. He's batting .407 this spring.
Kendrick is on a tear, as he usually is this time a year, hitting a triple and a double to put his spring batting average at .485.
Pujols had a couple of singles in three at-bats, giving him a .429 clip, and ran for himself for the second straight day.
Vargas bounced back from a rough start against the Rockies, giving up a run on two hits while striking out five and putting his pitch count in the high 60′s in 4 2/3 innings. He liked the way his off-speed pitches were working.
The bad
Scott Downs gave up a solo homer to Dewayne Wise in the sixth, and though it was the only hit, he was hit hard in his lone frame of work.
Kevin Johnson, still vying for a bullpen spot, gave up two runs on four hits in the ninth.
Best play (that I saw)
The Angels made a couple of nifty catches on foul pop-ups to end the third inning. Hank Conger raced to the backstop, contorted his body and made the catch for out No. 2, and Alberto Callaspo reached over the dugout railing for out No. 3.
Best quote
Vargas, on adjustments he made coming off an outing in which he allowed four runs in three innings to the Rockies: "I think that last start, I kept throwing fastballs and was really trying to get it down in the strike zone. I was leaving them up and getting hammered for it. We tried to work on that in the bullpen mid-week, and when the game comes it's just trying to get them out."

Scioscia steps away, and other injury happenings …
Angels manager Mike Scioscia isn't with the team today. He flew back to Philadelphia on Friday night to deal with a death in the family and is expected back on Sunday. Bench coach Rob Picciolo will manage in Scioscia's absence.
Here are some injury notes on a muggy Sunday that could produce back-to-back rainouts. Radar shows a 20-percent chance of rain at game time.
* Lefty reliever Sean Burnett, who dealt with lower back stiffness early in camp, expects to pitch in a sim game Sunday and appear in his first Cactus League game on Wednesday, leaving him plenty of time to be ready by Opening Day. Burnett said it's been "a week and a half, two weeks" since he's felt anything in his back and doesn't believe he needs to get in back-to-back games to be ready for the regular season.
"I've been around long enough to know what I need," he said. "If I start tomorrow with the simulated game, I'll get plenty of outings and probably just as many as any year before, if not more. I'm right on track. I'm not going to miss anything."
* Bill Hall, out since suffering tightness in his right quad on Feb. 27, did some running drills on the field again pregame and is getting close to returning to game action.
* Prospect Andrew Taylor, the lefty reliever who was with the Angels as a September call-up last year, hasn't appeared in a game since Feb. 27 due to tightness in his shoulder. The 26-year-old had a hard time getting loose for his first two Cactus League appearances and hasn't picked up a baseball since. He'll see a doctor today and is could undergo an MRI on Monday. Asked about concern it's a rotator cuff issue that would require surgery, Taylor said: "I'm not too worried about that right now. I guess we'll see what the doc has to say."
* Mitch Stetter, yet another lefty reliever, threw a shortened bullpen a few days ago and will throw a regular session — all fastballs — on Saturday. The 32-year-old was told he'd need about five bullpen sessions before appearing in his first action of the spring. Stetter, who posted a 4.08 ERA in 132 relief appearances with the Brewers from 2007-11, has been out with a bulging disk in his back.
Thanks to Spencer Fordin and Owen Perkins for filling in for me while I was away for a few days this week.

How Angels' 'Big 3′ stacks up in 2013 …
I wrote recently about the Angels' own prestigious "Big Three" of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton — how they could potentially hold up historically and in this era.
But how do they hold up in 2013? There's little debate that the Angels now have the most talented and celebrated lineup trio in baseball, giving them arguably the game's most potent offense. But I was a little stunned that their 2012 stats didn't show it.
In fact, when combining each of their OPS from 2012, the Angels' trio ranked third, behind those of the Tigers and Reds. Below is the top 15, based on combined OPS of the top three current players in each lineup (minimum is 400 plate appearances) …
- Tigers (Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Austin Jackson): 2.795
- Reds (Joey Votto, Ryan Ludwick, Jay Bruce): 2.759
- Angels (Trout, Pujols, Hamilton): 2.752
- Brewers (Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez, Corey Hart): 2.729
- Red Sox (David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Napoli*): 2.635
- Blue Jays (Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera): 2.627
- Cardinals (Matt Holliday, Allen Craig, Yadier Molina): 2.627
- Rangers (Adrian Beltre, David Murphy, A.J. Pierzynski): 2.607
- Rockies (Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, Tyler Colvin): 2.602
- Pirates (Andrew McCutchen, Garrett Jones, Pedro Alvarez): 2.569
- D-backs (Aaron Hill, Paul Goldschmidt, Jason Kubel): 2.565
- Yankees (Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira): 2.547
- Twins (Josh Willingham, Joe Mauer, Ryan Doumit): 2.532
- Giants (Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt): 2.527
- Dodgers (Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Adrian Gonzalez): 2.524
* Napoli's deal still hasn't been finalized.

Is it too late to upgrade the bullpen? …
Here's all you need to know about the pitching staff lately: During a just-completed 10-game road trip, the Angels' offense averaged seven runs per game, notched double-digit hits seven times and totaled 23 homers … and still lost six of those games. That's because, of course, the pitching was that bad. Angels pitchers combined to post a 6.78 ERA, giving up 72 runs (66 earned) and 21 homers in 87 2/3 innings during that trip.
The rotation posted a 5.07 mark, getting only four quality starts (two by Jered Weaver, one each by Dan Haren and Ervin Santana) and watching as C.J. Wilson and Zack Greinke combined to give up 24 runs (21 earned) in 22 1/3 innings. The bullpen was even worse, combining to post a 10.54 mark (or, 32 earned runs in 27 1/3 innings), losing five games and blowing five save chances.
Now, through the second half, the Angels rank ninth in the American League in ERA from their starters (4.78) and dead last — by a wide margin — in ERA from their relievers (6.65).
Houston, we have a problem.
Now, how do you fix it?
We'll get the easy one out of the way first. You don't do anything to fix the rotation. You simply expect proven commodities like Wilson and Greinke to figure it out, continue to lean on Weaver (15-1, 2.13 ERA, Cy Young favorite), get encouragement out of the recent outings of Haren (2.00 ERA last three starts) and Santana (five earned runs last 11 innings), and rest easy with Garrett Richards as a fall-back option.
There's no reason why this rotation shouldn't turn it around. (If it doesn't, then I would hate to be pitching coach Mike Butcher.)
The bullpen situation is a lot more dire. It looked set, as it rolled through May and June with a collective 3.02 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. But that was with Ernesto Frieri going on a ridiculous (unrealistic?) run and, most importantly, with Scott Downs healthy. You really notice just how thin this relief corps is when Downs isn't there. Suddenly, you're relying on two 39-year-olds (LaTroy Hawkins and Jason Isringhausen), one guy who was in Triple-A a little over a month ago (Kevin Jepsen), two guys who would be in Triple-A if not for injuries (David Carpenter and Hisanori Takahashi) and one guy very few had heard of before May (Frieri) to hold leads.
The optimists' view: Downs and Jordan Walden are slated to start rehab assignments soon and should be back shortly thereafter, and this latest rough stretch is only an anomaly for a bullpen that put together eight really solid weeks.
The cynics' view: Downs is rehabbing a shoulder strain, was hit around right before landing on the DL and there's no telling how effective he'll be upon returning; Walden hasn't looked right all year; and general manager Jerry Dipoto has to do something to address this 'pen.
The Angels' first-year GM didn't find the reliever market very appealing in July, however. Granted, this was before the road-trip meltdown, but nontheless, here's what Dipoto told me just after the non-waiver Trade Deadline when asked whether Downs' injury made addressing the bullpen an even greater priority in August: "Not at all. You're always open to any way that you can get better. Scotty's been terrific for us all year, we don't anticipate this being a long, drawn-out process, but like I said, you never know. And as a result, like I said all along, you remain as flexible as you can be. We'll keep turning over the stones."
Will gold show up under any of them?
Keep in mind: Now that the non-waiver Deadline has passed, deals involving players on the 40-man roster cannot be made unless the players already have cleared waivers. In other words, the player must be offered to the other teams in reverse order of the standings — with his own league first — and if he is claimed by someone, he cannot be traded. The club that placed the player on waivers can either withdraw the request and keep the player, or let the player go to the claiming team, which would then have the rights to the player.
I was personally shocked that ex-Royals lefty Jose Mijares slipped through 13 AL teams and landed with the Giants on Aug. 6, given his success and salary. Other names to keep in mind this month (and this is just a rough assumption): Darren Oliver (Blue Jays), Matt Reynolds (Rockies), Joe Thatcher (Padres, but out until mid-to-late August with knee tendinitis) and Wesley Wright (Astros) for lefties; Matt Belisle (Rockies), Rafael Betancourt (Rockies), Shawn Camp (Cubs) and Casey Janssen (Blue Jays) for righties.
Thing is, the Angels don't have much flexibility on the payroll (especially not after taking on the pro-rated portion of Greinke's expiring deal) or on the roster. Takahashi and Carpenter can be optioned, but that would be for when Walden and Downs are activated; adding someone extra before rosters expand would probably mean one of their out-of-options guys (Hawkins? Isringhausen? Jerome Williams?) are placed on waivers, since there's no chance they option Frieri or Jepsen.
Perhaps that's why the Angels' front office is hesitant to add someone unless he's a clear upgrade.
Question is: Is it too late to find that clear upgrade?

EMANUEL STERN understands perfectly the sociological process that has made possible his dream of building the first hotel in SoHo in a century.
''Artists constantly stake out underutilized real estate on the fringes, and by doing so are a cultural vanguard,'' he said. ''They come in and make it attractive -- and then the blue suits come in.''
Mr. Stern, 33, is enough the wry post-modern hotelier to acknowledge that, as the developer of the SoHo Grand Hotel, which is to open on Sunday at 310 West Broadway, between Grand and Canal Streets, he himself is a blue suit. In the eyes of many neighbors, he understands, he is a Visigoth from New Jersey, the latest despoiler of an artsy Eden that has become choked with camcorder-wielding tourists.
The construction of the 15-story hotel in a neighborhood of mostly five- and six-story buildings inspired more than the usual community opposition, including lawsuits, the wrath of the local City Councilwoman and a protest march at last year's groundbreaking.

Wikidata, a centralized structured data repository for facts and Wikimedia's first big new project in the last 7 years, is now feeding the foundation's main project, Wikipedia.
The Wikidata project was kicked off around a year ago by the German chapter of Wikimedia, which is still steering its gradual development. For Wikipedia, the advantage is simple and powerful -- if there's a central, machine-readable source for facts, such as the population of a city, then any update to that data can be instantly reflected across all the articles in which the facts are included.
The Wikimedia Foundation's first major new project in 7 years is now feeding the biggest project in that stable, Wikipedia itself. But anyone can take structured data from Wikidata, due to its open license.

RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) — A balloon flying in Albuquerque's International Balloon Fiesta hit a power line as it tried to land Wednesday, sending two men to the hospital with burns and injuries from a 40-foot fall, officials said.
Police in Rio Rancho, a northwest Albuquerque suburb, said the balloon got tangled in the line at about 8:30 a.m. When the passenger reached out to free the balloon, he was shocked, festival spokesman Tom Garrity said.
The balloon was freed, but the gondola crashed to the ground.
Rio Rancho police identified the pilot as Mark Kilgore, 59, of Albuquerque, and the passenger as Daniel Lovato, his 66-year-old crew chief.
KOB-TV reported that Lovato suffered serious burns on his face, chest and arms and underwent surgery at the University of New Mexico Hospital while Kilgore was treated for burns to the side of his face.
Although photos from the scene showed flames, Garrity said it was unclear if the gondola caught fire.
"We know there was arcing of electricity," he said. "We are still trying to figure out the specifics."
Rio Rancho police spokeswoman Janet Garcia said pictures showed some burns along the top of the gondola, but it did not appear that the gondola went up in flames.

Empirical Log Rules According to Species Groups and Lumber Grades
Authors: Schumacher, F. X.; Young, H. E.
Source: Journal of Forestry, Volume 41, Number 7, 1 July 1943 , pp. 511-518(8)
Publisher: Society of American Foresters
The empirical log rule, derived by the method of least squares from the sawlog consumption and concomitant lumber production over a sequence of working days at the sawmill, is applied to the solution of two forestry problems: the effect of species groups upon the lumber produced from sawlogs of given dimension, and the distribution of lumber production among standard lumber grades.Document Type: Journal Article
Affiliations: Associate Editor of the Journal of Forestry, U. S. Army
Publication date: 1943-07-01
- The Journal of Forestry is the most widely circulated scholarly forestry journal in the world. In print since 1902, the Journal has received several national awards for excellence. The mission of the Journal of Forestry is to advance the profession of forestry by keeping forest management professionals informed about significant developments and ideas in the many facets of forestry: economics, education and communication, entomology and pathology, fire, forest ecology, geospatial technologies, history, international forestry, measurements, policy, recreation, silviculture, social sciences, soils and hydrology, urban and community forestry, utilization and engineering, and wildlife management. The Journal is published bimonthly: January, March, May, July, September, and November.

Smoking Guns
(Continued from Page 1)
Sharon's position will probably prove effective. As a practical matter, the more blood Arafat can be shown to have on his hands, the harder the Bush administration will find it to push Israel toward the negotiating table. Still, let the record show that this won't make sense. If logic ruled the political universe (and if cows had wings ...), Sharon's new indictment against Arafat would, in some small measure, strengthen the indictment against Sharon.

>>> Buy Ephedrine & Ephedra Online <<< Click to View in Store
Ephedrine UK
Ephedrine is available in the UK in some common cold medicines, however it unfortunately isn't pure ephedrine. If you're looking to use ephedrine to help get over the flu, then by all means, pick up some of this! However most people are looking to use ephedrine to burn fat, increase energy, or boost performance. Most people don't realize that ephedrine isn't that effective on its own, it works best stacked with caffeine.
Ephedra Diet Pills
Ephedra diet pills such as Thermoburn ECA Xtreme with Ephedra work extremely well to burn fat, increase energy levels, and boost performance. One thing is that Thermoburn isn't readily available in the UK, it is however available online on a couple of Canadian and US sites. Thermoburn works well because it has ephedra, caffeine, synephrine, and other ingredients all in a single capsule – the ultimate fat loss/energy boosting stack. For the most part, you shouldn't have any issue getting this product shipped to the UK in small quantities for personal use, however if you try to stock up it may raise some red flags.

Heck, i basically moved back to SC just so i could be closer to Clemson, but painting the coots field? That's stupid. As far as the streak is concerned, yeap, South Carolina has beat us four times in a row. I hate it with a passion. But I keep my mouth shut. They won. We lost. As Dabo has said, this isn't some 6 or 7 win team we've lost to. They've turned their program into a top ten team. And as much as i hate it, that's good for US TOO. This makes the game an actual rivalry. The winner gets a lot of respect around the nation. Back in the day, nobody cared when we beat the chickens. Now, the next time we beat them will be a huge boost for our rankings. And my ego!

I recently created AlloyActionJackson to test Action Bar and Tab Bar functionality in Appcelerator Titanium. I am also using it to test out some custom Holo styling, which I'll detail here.
If you are looking for info on Action and Tab bar stuff, check out this post. If you want to create custom Action Bar and Holo themes for Android apps using Titanium, read on.
When looking around on how to do this, I came upon Rafael Kellermann Streit's very handy post on adding custom Holo themes to Android/Titanium, as well as Juhani Lehtimaki's (I hope I said that right) useful post on how to use both custom themes at once. and I'd like to expand on it a bit and share my experiences. There is some stuff here that is a repeat of his post, and some new stuff as well.
There are some excellent tools and resources for creating custom Holo Themes at the Android Asset Studio. We'll go through two of the tools for generating custom colors.

Appcelerator added Action Bar support for Android around Titanium SDK 3.0, and has been adding more support/changes for stuff like Action Bar Tabs and the Android Search View with each new SDK update.

In what Wall Street analyst Craig Moffett described as a "moral" victory for cable biggie Comcast Corp., a federal appeals court in Washington struck down a rule that limited Comcast's business at 30 percent of the pay-TV market - this being the second time the '30 percent market-cap' regulation has been overturned; the first time being the 2001 court decision!
Comcast had contended that the market-cap rule, passed under Kevin Martin, the former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was politically motivated, and had said that it would not trounce a court challenge.
About the recent court ruling, the present FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said that while setting a new 'cap' in future, the FCC will give due consideration to the court's decision on the 30 percent level.
Hailing the court decision that allows greater expansion rights, the Philadelphia-based Comcast, which currently controls nearly 25 percent of the pay-TV market with almost 24 million cable-TV subscribers, said that it could now carry forth its acquisition plans, particularly as it has, of late, been steadily losing cable-TV customers.
Commenting on the 21-page court decision, Comcast spokeswoman Sena Fitzmaurice remarked: "We are pleased the court has vindicated our position. This important decision affirms that rules must reflect the changing realities of the dynamic video marketplace where today consumers have more choice in video providers and channels than ever before."

Spartan Stadium's New Scoreboards on Schedule for Opening Night
EAST LANSING – The front of the video board perched above the northwest end zone at Spartan Stadium was turned on Thursday, and on the back, hints of the school's helmet logo have appeared.
In the northeast end zone, the video board is scheduled to be tested next week. By that time, it's expected the 14 LED panels forming the gargantuan scoreboard in the south end zone will have been hung.

The Coast Guard suspends the search for two missing crewmembers, following the Black Elk platform explosion and fire. US Coast Guard crews searched a 1,400 square-mile area in the Gulf of Mexico around Grand Isle for more than 32 hours in an effort to locate the two missing crewmembers. Coast Guard resources used in the search effort: • The 87-foot Coast Guard Cutters Pelican and Razorbill; • Three response boatcrews from Coast Guard Stations Grand Isle and Venice; • Three HC-144 Ocean Sentry fixed-wing aircraft crews and three MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crews • Two MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crews from Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement has established a team to investigate Friday's explosion and fire. The seven-member investigative team includes safety inspectors, engineers, safety management investigators, and law enforcement experts.

Viggo Mortensen loves to joke around on set
Feb 7, 2012, 6:02 GMT
Viggo Mortensen loves working with director David Cronenberg because his sets are always fun.
Although the movies the pair have worked on together, crime thrillers 'A History of Violence' and 'Eastern Promises' and most recently 'A Dangerous Method' - which details the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud - are not comedies, Viggo says they always have a laugh on set.
He told Digital Spy: 'The best thing an actor can be is flexible, because all directors are different and all actors are different. Some people like to joke around on set and that can be good, because it relaxes you. Other actors are very serious and don't want to talk to anybody. I tend to have fun. I take seriously what I do, but I like to have a good time, which is why I like to work with David Cronenberg.'
Viggo believes the tone of the film shouldn't affect the atmosphere on set and says he and the other actors Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Vincent Cassell loved joking around.
He explained: 'I had fun with Keira and Michael who I didn't know and Vincent who I'd worked with on 'Eastern Promises' - I knew he liked to keep things light. So, it was a fun set, which was good, because if you start thinking, well, we're making an important historical document, it can become quite dull. There's nothing wrong with having a laugh, if you've done your preparation.'
