I have a ping of 1000 up when playing supcom with a friend, when we first played my ping was 200, i have broadband and it used to work fine, so why is it so high now?
have you tried a direct connection to your modem?, also, does this problem appear on other computers attached to the router? what kind of networking device are you using to connect to the internet? onboard lan?
it may be an unstable connection.. do you have a scientific atlanta cable box on the coaxial cable too?
Could be what your paying for. Roadrunner has like 3 different levels of Internet connectivity. Have you tried any other server with speedtest. That could account for your high ping and slow upload speeds. My default is Orlando and I get slower results there then when I use Tampa. Also, it could be your router. What kind of router are you using? It may need a firmware upgrade, or may need to be reset. What Pancho is trying to say is what type of modem do you have? it should say on the front of it. Roadrunner is usually paired with a Scientific Atlantica branded modem.
Seems like a there was a huge amount of upload on the network and caused major strain. Best explanation I can give.
you can usually check signal strength from your cable box and that would explain some of the fluctuating speeds you're getting. most of the time its scientific atlanta.. so.. do you have a scientific atlanta cable box? and im talking about cable box as in television.
i can fix this. start the game your having trouble with, move your mouse over to taskbar, right click, task manager, click on processes, find the game your running (should be something like "hl2.exe") right click on it, priority's click on low, click yes on the error message that comes up, restart game, join server, enjoy.
Oh, you meant cable box. =/. My cable provider (Brighthouse) used to have Scientific Atlanta, but they are using Samsung boxes (trying to switch over as of late as their new Scientific Atlanta HDC boxes suck ass). Anyways, my modem is also Scientific Atlanta, so I assumed that is what you are talking about.

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who heads the Republican Study Committee, a group of fiscal conservatives, was part of the group Boehner tapped, along with Ryan, to devise the three-month debt-ceiling extension.
While he helped GOP leaders generate buy-in from conservatives for moving away from their insistence for spending cuts now, Scalise summed up his role going forward: "I need to pull our leadership to the right."
It's unclear how the debt-ceiling battle will play out. Some Democrats saw the move to as encouraging, but argue revisiting the issue in three months causes instability for financial markets. And House Democrats called the requirement for Congress to pass a budget a "gimmick."
Fiscal debates will again dominate Congress' agenda for early 2013, but other contentious battles such as immigration reform will also split House Republicans and could test Boehner's hold on the speaker's gavel.
After the shootings at an elementary school in Connecticut in December that killed 20 children and six adults, Obama has urged Congress to make legislation with new restrictions on guns and ammunition a top priority. Boehner told House Republicans at the retreat he'll look at what the administration is proposing, but he doesn't plan for the House to take any action until the Senate passes something, and that could be an uphill battle.
The GOP retreat also featured a panel with pollsters who showed internal numbers highlighting the party's deficit of support among women and minorities. Both Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and former Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno urged members to step up efforts to show it welcomes those groups.
Rep. Greg Walden, who runs the House GOP 2014 campaign operation to retain and expand their majority, told reporters he tapped Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler, the youngest female House member and a Hispanic, to help with outreach.
But Walden admitted Republicans need to step up that effort as the Hispanic community was increasing its voting numbers.
"We recognize that Republicans have good answers, we just have bad communications in many cases."

15 September, 2009
NHS East Midlands has launched a dedicated Regional Innovation Fund offering our local NHS organisations and their partners the chance to apply for a share of £1.94 million to make great ideas a reality.
The cash will be invested in a combination of projects, speeding up the time it takes for innovative solutions to get from the design bench to the 'bedside' and wherever care is provided. This will benefit East Midlands' patients directly and increase the quality of the care they receive.
The best ideas often come from staff who are working close to patients on the 'frontline', but implementing ideas can be complex. By establishing this new regional fund, money will be invested in projects that will result in more creative solutions; involving closer partnership working across different organisations and disciplines; speeding up the rate of implementation of evidence-based practice and ensuring that clinical service delivery is at the leading edge. In this way, our patients will have the best possible care experiences.
Trusts are encouraged to apply against a number of key allocations that support the priorities of their NHS organisation, address areas of clinical need or specific challenges suggested by frontline staff that could be solved through innovative thinking. There will also be opportunities to propose existing innovations that could be fast-tracked, to apply for innovation fellowships and bursaries, and propose services for local innovation awards.
Each strategic health authority in England is receiving £1.93 million this year, with a further £5 million in each of the next four years as part of the government's commitment announced in April to create a more innovative and high quality health service. They will work with innovation experts from private, public and other experts to assess and develop the proposals submitted and ensure that the really good ideas get off the ground and are adopted and spread across the NHS.
Kathy McLean, Medical Director of NHS East Midlands says: "Previously in the NHS, the potential of many good ideas from staff to improve care was not realised. We are therefore delighted to announce the launch of the new East Midlands Regional Innovation Fund to help make a reality of the ideas of frontline staff, and inspire more than 100,000 NHS staff in the East Midlands to help improve services. And we look forward to working more closely with our partners including social care, researchers, universities, industry and the third sector to improve quality and productivity in healthcare, making a difference each day to people's lives."

Does n´t have the confort and the facilities of others hotels in Vegas.

The smell of cleaning supplies was overwhelming! As soon as we opened the door, my son started to cover his nose. We switched rooms and that one stank also, although maybe only 1/2 as much. The good news is that at least that means they clean their rooms!
The location and facilities for the price were great. It was clean and well kept up.
The bathrooms are too small. Even one person has trouble moving around. There needs to be more hooks or towel bars to hang things up in the bath room.
Good location
No internet connection in the ruins farthest away from the Wi-Fi hub
People in the desk are very friendly..
Room too small.. Not enough local channels on tv.
The staff was awesome.
No Internet in rooms and the TV was crap.
It's not the most beautiful hotel of Vegas for sure but it's well located and the staff is efficient. If you want to enjoy with friends without spending money, it's one of the best option
the staff was very friendly and helpful.
It would have been nice to have a small fridge and access to a microwave
I went to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and the hotel was situated right next to the Circus Circus hotel where I picked up the bus shuttle to take me to and from the Las Vegas Convention Centre which was extreme convenient. Last year I stayed at the Four Queens t Fremont Street which involved a long public bus trip to and from the convention centre every day which was a hassle. The Travodge Hotel itself was very good with a free continent breakfast included in the costs which I did not get last year. I had a ground floor room near the office which gave me a clear wi fi signal. The room was very clean and advices every day. I will certAiy consider staying again next year if I come again to ces purely for the convenience of getting to the la convention centre.
The tv reception was poor and only had a dozen channels hf of which were Spanish speaking channels. My door entry swipe card to my room get losing the code to get me into the room at the end of each day so I had to go to the office to have it re-programmed. They said it was probably caused by all the electric tech at the show so it was not really their fault.
Great location on the Strip if you have to go to the LV Convention Center - 10 minute walk. Clean rooms.
Rooms are old with carpets worn out and need refurbishing. Walls are thin and you hear the noises from next door or even above you. Can be very disturbing.

Century High School Reviews
I was going to San Gabriel High School, and it was a nightmare. I asked to go to Century on my own, and it was the best school i ever went to. Not only did I complete my credits a year early, but I stayed for my senior year and I had the best year ever... photography, animal husbandry, writing, poetry, screen printing, lithographs, all kinds of art classes... this is what high school should be, small and personal... where it's about the students and not about the dollar. I just wish they had a high school like this for my kids... the best days of my teenage life.
I asked to go to Century on my own. I was attending San Gabriel High School, where I was one of too many, but at century I was one of a few who were taught by great teachers. I not only graduated early, but I enjoyed subjects like: art, jewelry making, photography, writing. It's a great school, I just wished they would have gave me this as an option first, instead of wasting my time at San Gabriel High School.
This school is by far the best schools i have ever been to. The teachers in Century High School give you the attention and help you need. This is why i came to Century High School to get my credits and Graduate!

President Obama heading to many -- -- -- Minneapolis right now he will push there for new gun control measures.
The president wants a ban on assault weapons and universal background checks but his proposals face a lot of resistance on Capitol Hill.
With some lawmakers and the National Rifle Association opposing the plans to change the country's gun law.
Talk about it would David Drucker the associate politics editor at roll call it appears the White House David.
Has decided that if you can't get some action from congress on this issue they're gonna try to go over congress' heads go straight to the American people and continue some kind of -- PR campaign right.
Yep and that's what presidents John normally do especially after a second term victory that they they usually of both parties.
-- to come to the conclusion rightly or wrongly that talking to congress is a big waste of time -- to continue to campaign.
Especially without the pressure of worrying about poll numbers because I'm not actually running for reelection anymore.
I still think at the end of the day that it won't be about pressure from the public -- lets you see a real sea change on guns that'll really be.
More about two things one can the president get resistance senate Democrats to support his.
Agenda for more gun regulations to.
Can he get some support from house Republicans.
And I think on both counts.
It's iffy whether he'll be able to -- achieved some results.
-- -- Particularly with the more stringent proposals that he's after like -- assault weapons ban on more background checks that's where some consensus might develop.
-- typically when the president butts heads with congress he likes to blame congressional Republicans meaning on the house side for you know failure to push forward his legislative agenda.
Or -- -- he likes but in this case as you point out he's got just as many problems with Democrats.
That's true and look -- there's nothing wrong with a democratic president blaming Republicans for things that's what politics works.
And often it will be house Republicans that are putting the brakes on his agenda over the the next two years because they have the majority there and they have the ability to do that -- I'm sure they'll use that ability.
But in this case.
The Second Amendment and gun rights -- become such an ingrained part of the American culture at least until now that.
Yeah after the 2000 presidential election Democrats pretty much gave up on the idea politically of more gun control it was a losing proposition for them.
So big you know if you can't beat them join them they joined with Republicans and and support for the Second Amendment and for gun rights has been strong on both sides of the -- Included with senate majority leader Harry Reid the top Democrat in the senate.
So you know again the key is gonna be given some of the events over the last year in this push from the White House.
Will the president be able to convince senators like read like Mark Pryor from Arkansas.
Like -- land drew from Louisiana etc.
to go along with the kinds of gun regulations they have.
Not supported in the past and then once that happens can't he create pressure.
Among house Republicans again I think.
Where he might be able to get something done is with an expanded type of background check.
Banning assault weapons -- -- see is -- a non starter completely all right David Drucker from roll call David could have -- thank you thanks a lot.

He served in the Army during World War II, and after being discharged, he returned to Susanville and attended Lassen College where he met his soulmate for life, Jane Anderson. They were married Dec. 18, 1949. They moved to Oakland where Jim continued his education at Berkeley pursuing a degree in business. Jim and Jane found that the big university life was not for them so they returned to northern California where Jim and his father Carl went into the aggregate business together.
Jim changed career paths in 1965, went to work for the city of Susanville as city clerk and later finance director. While working for the city he went back to school and received his degree in business administration from Chico State University. He finished his career at Lassen College, retiring as purchasing agent.
Jim was a dedicated public servant. He loved Susanville and Lassen County and strived to make this community a better place. He served on the city council two different times in his life and was chosen as mayor in each term. He was referred to as the "negotiator" in local government. He was able to get the city and county to work together to get projects completed. He served, chaired and was honored for serving on many boards and committees in his lifetime. The most recent included: Lassen County Fair Advisory Board, Lassen Regional Solid Waster Board, Lassen County Grand Jury (twice), Northeastern Rural Health Board, Lassen County Treasury Oversight Committee, BLM Advisory Board and Courthouse Renovation Committee. He was an integral part of Sierra Army Depot Base Realignment Committee.
Jim was also active in several local clubs. He was past president and received the Paul Harris Fellowship award with the Rotary Club. He was recently honored as a 50-year member of the Masonic Lodge. Jim was past president and was active in the Silver Lake Homeowner Association.
Jim may have been busy with civic affairs, but he always had time for his family. In the summer the family spent many weekends together at their cabin at Silver Lake. He loved his family and was always a caring and patient husband, father and grandfather. Jim will be missed deeply by family and friends. He leaves us so many wonderful memories and lasting impressions from the way he lived his life and the way he touched ours.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Jane, daughters and their husbands, Marsha and Robert Smith and Sally and Jim Timperley, his grandchildren Jeremy (Kindra) and Rachelle Smith and great-granddaughter Kaydence Smith.
Donations may be made in Jim's memory to the Lassen High School Alumni Association or, as was Jim's philosophy, donate some of your time toward making your community a better place.
Celebration of Life was held at 12 p.m. Nov. 18, 2011 at Jensen Hall.

Jessica Fairley is a reporter with FOX 31 News
ALBANY, GA. -- The downtown Albany business community will gather Friday morning to pray for one of their own.
Homer Holiday, the owner of the Union Dry Cleaners, has been ill for a few weeks and is now hospitalized in the Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
Mr. Holiday has operated his business on North Jackson Street for many years.
Those organizing the event say Mr. Holiday was known to clean clothes for homeless people for free.
"Mr. Holiday would also press and clean clothes for children in the school system who did not have clothes. He wanted the clothes cleaned and pressed so that the children would think they were new," says Marlean Edwards, Dougherty County Commissioner.
Edwards says Homer Holiday has given back to the community and now they are coming together in his honor.
The vigil will be held in front of the Union Dry Cleaners at 8:30 a.m.

Simple Plan Tickets and Concert Dates
In-depth Biography
Simple Plan is one of Canada's most successful punk-pop acts, featuring a lineup comprised of former high school pals Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Jeff Stinco (guitar), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar), and Chuck Comeau (drums). The quintet initially came together when Comeau and Bouvier founded Reset at age 13. Reset proved to be a modestly successful band in Canada, touring the country with other punk groups like MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face. A debut album followed in 1997; however, Comeau bowed out quietly to attend college. Two years later, Comeau pushed his studies to the back burner and returned to music, this time working with Stinco and Lefebvre to put a new group together. Meanwhile, Bouvier was still in charge of Reset, but he'd grown tired of being both a frontman and a guitarist. After he and Comeau reconnected at a Sugar Ray show in late 1999, Bouvier agreed to join Comeau's new project. Desrosiers, who briefly replaced Bouvier in Reset, was also asked to join the group, and Simple Plan was born.
The band quickly hit the road and joined the annual Vans Warped Tour in 2001. By this point, Simple Plan had carved out a spunky, energetic punk sound, textured like Cheap Trick but raw like Pennywise. The following year, Simple Plan headed into the studio to capture the sound on tape. Good Charlotte's Joel Madden and Mark Hoppus of blink-182 joined Simple Plan during those sessions, and the end result was the fiery, fun No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, which was released in early 2003 on Lava Records. The group took home a 2003 MuchMusic Video Award for People's Choice Favorite Canadian Group in June, and the album became a genuine success, selling over four million copies worldwide while going double-platinum in Canada and America. The Bob Rock-produced second album, Still Not Getting Any..., appeared the next year and also did quite well, scoring hits like "Crazy" and "Welcome to My Life." Simple Plan continued touring in support of both releases, and released the concert album Live from the Hard Rock in 2005.
The band scaled back their touring schedule in 2006, looking to concentrate on writing new material instead. Simple Plan entered the studio in June 2007 to begin work on their third studio album, the self-titled Simple Plan, which appeared in February 2008. Although not an international best-seller like its two predecessors, the album still went platinum in Canada, where demand for the band's spunky pop songs remained strong. The band returned three years later with another album, Get Your Heart On!, which featured cameos from Rivers Cuomo, Natasha Bedingfield, and All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Hamamelis vernalis – Vernal Witchhazel
As far as I'm concerned, here is another genus of woody plants that seem to get over looked in the landscape – witchhazel. As a group, these larger growing multi-stem shrubs (or small trees in some cases – vernalis usually stays in the 6-10 feet range) are extremely durable, have no serious pest or disease issues, have excellent fall color (yellow), sun or shade, adapts to many soil conditions including moist, and are used as specimen, hedging (unpruned), mass plantings, screening, and work well in large planter boxes and containers. I have one espaliered on a fence. You'll also find these now available grafted into a patio tree. And did I mention that Vernal Witchhazel is flowering right now? Yep, starts sometime in January and flowers thru February and into March (depending on the weather). The flowers can range from yellow to red (many are red centers with yellow petals), and interestingly enough, the petals roll up and close on extremely cold days, which helps extend the flowering season. One drawback to this plant...it may hold the old leaves from last year, which can hide some of the flowers.

Landover was a real magic kingdom, with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement promised. But after Ben Holiday bought it he discovered a few details were omitted. The Kingdom was in ruin, the Barons refused to recognize a King, and the peasants were without hope. A dragon was laying waste to the countryside, while an evil witch plotted utter destruction. Ben's only supporters are an incompetent Court Magician, a talking dog who serves as Court Scribe, and lovely Willow who has a habit of turning into a tree in the moonlight. The legendary King's champion, The Paladin, seems only a myth. The Iron Mark, Lord of Demons, has challenged claimants to the throne to duel to the death--a duel no mere human can win. It seems hopeless, but Ben Holiday is stubborn. CD ISBN: 1-58116-258-8

We had a very nice stay at you hostel, almost everything was perfect, except one little thing. We booked for the private bathroom, but the bathroom couldn't be locked from outside. So more than once we found other peoples belongings (showergel, toothbrushes etc) in our bathroom and also found the bathroom occupied when one of us wanted to use it. So that may be something to be considered.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie: Summary and book reviews of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis
Ayana Mathis's debut novel The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is a stunning, penetrating portrait of a woman through the eyes of her children. Devotion and its intersection with love is one of the central ruminations of the novel. The narrative structure of the novel is intriguing, and somewhat like a puzzle. For example, although Hattie is the titular character, she is rarely allowed the opportunity to provide her own perspective. The effect is powerful and subtle. Each chapter provides information that creates a complete picture of a proud, intelligent, and ultimately, trapped woman. The Twelve Tribes of Hattie establishes Ayana Mathis as a gifted writer, one who will be watched with excitement. Fans of Toni Morrison and James Baldwin will find another favorite in this powerful new talent. (Reviewed by Sarah Sacha Dollacker). Full Review (1039 words). Media Reviews

Emerson: We sometimes talk about plays we'd like to do together. That shows how our minds work.
I shot a few scenes with her on "Person of Interest," which was a great pleasure. We'd never done TV work together.
CNN: What about a guest spot on "True Blood"?
Emerson: I'd be happy to do it, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. I can't go on there and play anything sinister because I've kind of done that. I guess I could play an innocent. I've said I'd be happy to play a humble human who gets torn apart by supernatural beings.
The characters I like on that show are the most ancient ones. I like Godric. I like thinking about how he looks like he's 19 but he's 2000 years old.
CNN: And what was it like voicing the Joker in the "Dark Knight Returns" DVD movie?
Emerson: If I knew how significant it was to play that role in that franchise, I think I would have been terrified when I took it. I must have been busy or distracted, because I went in there carefree. I had not seen these recent big screen "Batmans." That's probably a blessing. Later when I saw Heath Ledger, I thought "Oh, God. If I'd have seen this, I might not have done it." As it was, my only role model was Cesar Romero, and I thought, surely I can do as well as Cesar Romero.
CNN: Did you get to laugh?
Emerson: I did. It was a chance not to be repressed or contained. All the shows I do, it's all about keeping a lid on it or staying small. When you play the Joker, the sky's the limit. You can turn that thing up to 11.
I know it's a franchise where people have very high expectations and loyalties to whomever has played before, so I hope they'll accept me.

Age is a very delicate topic. Unless you're talking about Homespun Vintage. California-based moms Kathlene Linehan and Corrie Sullivan began reworking recycled vintage pieces into kids clothing in 2010; this fall marks the launch of their first original collection of vintage-inspired threads. The mix of dresses, coats, and leggings looks like it's been stashed in your mother's basement for the past 50 years — but upon further inspection, the pieces are just as hearty as clothes made today. We're showing our support for the mini Army jacket whose tiny patches make it look just like the real thing. Perfect for our troops.

Seminoles announce hiring of 2 new assistants
Florida State names 2 new assistant coaches and confirms another junior leaving school early
Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher has completed his coaching staff.
Fisher announced his hires of Billy Napier as the Seminoles tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator while Randy Sanders will coach running backs.
Sanders comes to Florida State from Kentucky where he served as the Wildcats' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach since 2009. Napier spent last season as Colorado State's quarterbacks coach.
Fisher, who lost five assistants after the completion of the 2012 season, also said offensive coordinator James Coley will now serve as his quarterbacks coach.
The school formally confirmed Thursday that offensive tackle Menelik Watson was leaving after his junior season to enter the NFL draft. Another junior, All American defensive end Bjoern Werner, is also giving up his final season of eligibility to turn pro.

General Dynamics wins $187.5M contract for Saudi tanksBy Dustin Walsh
Sterling Heights-based General Dynamics Land Systems announced Thursday a $187.5 million contract for 84 tanks. The U.S. Army Tacom Life Cycle Management Command in Warren awarded the contract to GDLS on behalf of the Royal Saudi Land Forces in Saudi Arabia. The new contract is a continuation of a prior contract in 2008 to convert M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams tanks to Saudi M1A2 tanks. The conversion will be performed by GDLS' plant in Lima, Ohio with an expected completion date in March 2015. The U.S. Army has previously proposed idling tank production at the Lima plant for three years beginning in 2014 until production begins on a new generation of Abrams tanks in 2017. However, GDLS has said that new defense funding and foreign orders, like the Saudi tank project, will help reduce its anticipated idle period. Earlier this month, GDLS and TACOM announced a $118 million award for GDLS to convert 66 flat-bottom Stryker infantry vehicles to a newer, more protective double-V hull design between July 2014 and February 2015. The new award is expected to be one of several that will convert a complete third brigade of 337 Army Strykers between fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2016, over and above two Army brigades that have already completed the conversion.

Rocked by scandal and delayed for more than a decade, the construction of a long-sought Liberty City transit hub that will also offer shopping and affordable housing is finally under way.
Workers are steering bulldozers and wielding wrecking balls, tearing down what remains of 13 decayed businesses in a run-down neighborhood that for decades has fought crime, drugs and worn-out roads.
The goal: To combine transit, retail and housing into one liveable urban village where people can eat, shop, live and hop on public transportation. Planners hope to create enough pedestrian traffic to return at least one small section of Liberty City to the glory days of the 60s and 70s, when it was one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in all of Miami.
I was raised there. This used to be such a thriving intersection, and it just fell under, said Miami-Dade Commissioner Audrey Edmonson, who has fought to build the village since she took office in 2005.
Back in the day, the busy Seventh Avenue corridor near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where the transit village will be built, boasted a Byrons department store, tailor shops, photography studios, a Fredericks of Hollywood and a Winn-Dixie supermarket.
Those stores are gone now and pedestrian traffic almost non-existent, thanks mostly to the construction of Interstate 95 in the 70s, and the 1980 McDuffie riots, when Miamis urban core was torn to shreds and burned down after a group of police officers who beat motorcyclist Arthur McDuffie to death were acquitted at trial.
Now, almost 15 years since former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek set her sights on revitalization, and six years since the plan was put on hold after the countys inspector general accused the former developer of questionable billing practices, one block is about to get a much-needed makeover.
The $54 million project is located between Northwest Sixth Court and Seventh Avenue, and 61st and 62nd streets. When complete, by the end of next year, its five bus bays will serve as a major transfer site with shuttles to downtown Miami and Metrorail stations. It will also have a large transit office for ticket buyers.
Aside from transportation, the complex will include a 22,000-square-foot playhouse theater for small productions, 8,000 square feet on the ground floor for retail, and more than 160 affordable apartments on the second floor that will rent for between $280 and $853 a month.
Its going to be the catalyst and economic driver in this corridor, Edmonson said.
Getting everyone on board with the project hasnt been easy.
Before development plans were set in stone, Miami-Dade and the Carlisle Development Group partners on the project had to get the 13 property owners on the block to sell, and work out agreements with some of their tenants.
One shop keeper who had been there for decades refused to move, demanding $5 million, then $2 million, said Kenneth Naylor, chief operating officer of Carlisle. When the city of Miami finally declared the shoe-repair shop, which was on county-owned property, an unsafe structure, the retailer left and Carlisle tore it down.
Then there are Rafael Koblence and Markera Galustyants, owners of three pieces of property facing Seventh Avenue, two of them empty, the other a barber shop known as a community fixture. So far theyve refused to sell. At one point, Koblence said, the sides had agreed on a deal for $2.1 million, but when Carlisle came back with an offer of $620,000 due to a lowered property assessment, it only angered the duo.

BP Comment Quick Links
December 28, 2012 In A PickleSlugger OffWhen you do an article search on this site for the phrase "Silver Slugger," you get 57 results, the first of which, by Gregg Pearlman, is apparently the 18th article ever written for Baseball Prospectus and the most recent of which is Geoff Young's piece about the Padres throwing their heft around the N.L. West this offseason. (That's #19056.) Young's Silver Slugger mention came because Jason Marquis won one. Pearlman was writing about Barry Bonds. (Or really about sportswriters' relationship with Bonds. This was October 1997. We were innocent once, and young.) By contrast, when you search "Gold Glove," you see just a smidge over nine times the results. (The first of which, hilariously, is another Gregg Pearlman article -- this one includes a lamentation of the J.T. Snow trade—which is numbered "1" in our content system.) Now that I've mentioned both phrases in this piece, I'm not actually righting the imbalance, but since I'm going to actually discuss the Silver Slugger but not the Gold Glove, at least the scales will be tipped a tad bit more in favor of the batting award in terms of mindshare and Q Score. So. The Silver Slugger awards are decided the same way that Gold Gloves are: coaches and managers vote and they're not allowed to write in someone who plays on their own team. The website describing the award actually mentions batting average, on-base, and slugging, which is interesting, and says nothing about RBI, which is heartening, but then also includes the "general impressions of a player's overall offensive value" as a criterion, which is pretty vague. Two things I can't tell, though I'll take your input, Dear Reader, if you have thoughts on the matter: (a) whether the awards are meant to value level of production as long as the player achieved a reasonable amount of playing time (as opposed to a cumulative-offensive-value approach) and (b) whether baserunning is considered part of "offensive value." Glancing at the history of the American League winners and noting that Rickey Henderson was out-Sluggered in his career by such players as Gary Sheffield, Albert Belle, and Juan Gonzalez, I think it's fair to suppose that baserunning is not at the fore of voters' minds when they mark their ballots. (Then again, maybe it shouldn't be—our Baserunning Runs shows Henderson being 170 runs above average for his career, compared to 598 Batting Runs Above Average. For context, those 170 runs are the most in our database and it's not particularly close (Henderson doubles up the ninth-best runner, Paul Molitor, which is astounding), yet Henderson's batting dwarfs his historic running in terms of contributions to his overall value as an offensive player.) The intriguing thing to me about Silver Slugger voting is that we as outsiders have a much better handle on offensive value than we do on defense and pitching. Without downplaying the amount of research there still is to be done on hitting and hitters, the question of offensive value in the sabermetric realm has essentially been settled for decades—as Jim Albert and Jay Bennett describe in their book Curve Ball, George Lindsey published what we would now describe as linear weights for offensive events all the way back in 1963. While it took a while longer for researchers like Pete Palmer to fully develop the methods (and add elements like park factors), when we talk about True Average or Weighted On-Base Average, we're talking about offensive value metrics that, despite the "new-fangled" and "new-age" and "WAR WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR" descriptors with which they're saddled, were discovered/invented before Ruben Amaro was born and solidified around the time Billy Beane was struggling to hit in Double-A.
