SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants filled out a few more spots on their active roster Tuesday, recalling pitchers Dan Runzler and Dan Otero and purchasing the contract of infielder Emmanuel Burriss from Triple-A Fresno. The Giants designated pitcher Eric Hacker for assignment to make room for Burriss on the 40-man roster.
Burriss hit .214 in 52 games before getting designated for assignment July 28. Having played with the Giants since 2008 and being popular with teammates, Burriss got a warm reception when he arrived in the clubhouse before Tuesday's game against the D-backs.
"It's good to see these guys again," Burriss said. "Sometimes you don't know when the next time you'll see your friends and teammates again, and it's good to be back with these guys in the clubhouse again."
Burriss was hitting .274 in 29 games with Fresno before getting called up again, which he found out about Tuesday morning. He is expected to be used as a utility infielder, specifically as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement.
"He's been playing well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He went down to Fresno and played hard and played well. He earned this."
The Giants now have 34 players on their active roster, including 17 pitchers. Otero started the season on the Giants' Opening Day roster and begins his third stint with the Giants this season, while Runzler still has yet to appear in a Major League game this season after missing the first two months of the season with a shoulder injury.
"We have a pretty big bullpen now," Bochy said. "I think we used just about everybody yesterday, so they can help."
Giants plating runs without finding fences
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants are keeping the ball inside the ballpark, but they're still finding ways to produce runs -- a lot of them, at that.
The Giants entered Tuesday's game against the D-backs tied atop the National League with 252 runs since the All-Star break despite only having 30 home runs in the second half, well behind second-to-last Miami (38), not to mention Major League-leading Oakland (74).
"It might bother me if we weren't scoring runs or getting beat," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "But right now we're doing a good job of getting the timely hits and keeping the chain moving. The long ball is nice, it really is, but if you get guys on base, you'll need to get timely hits, and we've been doing that."
The lack of long balls follows a season-long trend, with the Giants dead last in the Major League rankings with 81 home runs. The Majors-leading Yankees (202) have hit more than twice as many out.
"The last thing you want to do is mention it to these guys," Bochy said. "It's hard enough to hit Major League pitching without trying to hit home runs. We just have to keep swinging the way we've been swinging."
Behind the Giants' recent offensive success has been their improved hitting with runners in scoring position, something that dogged San Francisco hitters throughout the first half. The Giants entered the All-Star break ranking second to last in the NL with a .225 average with runners in scoring position, but they have led the NL with a .311 average in those situations since then. In the last two games alone entering Tuesday, the Giants batted .600 (15-for-25) with runners in scoring position, combining for 16 runs in the two comeback wins.
"We've just had better at-bats," Bochy said. "Guys are putting the ball in play a little more often. What was hurting us before were the strikeouts. You have to go compete up there and try to get the ball in play."
Bochy still hoping to greater utilize Theriot
SAN FRANCISCO -- With Marco Scutaro thriving at second base, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he still remains concerned with finding playing time for Ryan Theriot, the Giants' previous starter at the position.
Since being acquired from the Rockies, Scutaro has hit .322 with 33 RBIs in 36 games and has registered multi-hit games in 10 of his last 19 games entering Tuesday. Theriot lost his regular job when Scutaro shifted from third base to second after Pablo Sandoval returned from a hamstring injury, and Theriot has been mostly relegated to pinch-hitting duties as of late.
Bochy, who has left open the option of having Theriot play left field, credited the 32-year-old veteran with remaining upbeat and ready to contribute. Theriot got a rare start last Friday against the Cubs, notching two hits and a walk as well as scoring a run.
"He got the start in Chicago, but it's hard to take Marco out," Bochy said. "He's going to be out there, and I'm going to have to find ways to keep [Theriot] sharp. I will say, though, that he's been doing a nice job of keeping himself ready. He had a nice game in that start against the Cubs."

Tonight: North Cal. Cyclocross
Everything is hung and the beer is on ice. This evening Brian Vernor's exhibit on North Cal. Cyclocross (and yes, he assures us that both the "North" and the period after the Cal. are important facets) and the history behind racing on the West Coast opens. With the doors being flung wide at 7pm there will be more than enough time to enjoy a few beverages with Stevil and then think about where you would like to ride, or race the next morning. The exhibit contains what could be the best collection of US Cyclocross art and history anywhere. The first US National Champion jersey will be on display as well as one of Paul Sadoff's first Cyclocross bikes built under the Rock Lobster banner. Stop by and say hi to the staff of the Rapha Cycle Club San Francisco and see what they have in store. Go US Cyclocross!

For starters, the pick immediately energized the Romney campaign, as evidenced by the huge crowds the two men have drawn since Saturday's surprise announcement.
It also signals a shift in the terms of the race, which thus far has consisted most of Romney ineffectively trying to parry the barrage of smears leveled by President Barack "You didn't build that" Obama and his surrogates. Romney has seemed baffled at how to respond to Obama's argument that his wealth somehow disqualifies him as a candidate — an argument liberals never made against Franklin Roosevelt or Lyndon Johnson or the Kennedys.
Romney's speeches lately have seemed to consist of urging people to vote for him because he's an experienced businessman and because he's not Obama. He has failed to draw sharp-enough distinctions between what most Americans believe and what Obama believes, and between where most Americans want the country to go and where Obama is trying to take it.
Ryan is just as conservative as Romney if not more so, and also is unquestionably more skilled at articulating that philosophy. As House Budget Committee chairman Ryan has almost single-handedly made entitlement reform a front-burner issue, and remarkably, persuaded nearly all House and Senate Republicans to support his reform plans. They include his proposal to switch Medicare for those under age 55 from the current fee-for-service system to one in which recipients could choose from an array of insurers. Democrats have gone into "Mediscare" mode and are arguing we should continue to kick the can down the road toward bankruptcy rather than reform our entitlement system. Their preferred solution? Raise taxes.
Ryan also is an incisive critic of Obamacare, as you'll recall from his five-minute evisceration of it — to the president's face — during the Blair House summit two years ago. It was a terrific example of "speaking truth to power" — and Obama obviously didn't like it one bit.
Meanwhile, the contrast between Ryan and fumbling, bumbling, verbally stumbling Obama Vice President Joe Biden is also sharp. Ryan is ready-made presidential material who left many Republicans disappointed by his decision not to run for the presidency. Biden, on the other hand, is an accident waiting to happen who few outside white-wine precincts and campus academic lounges can picture in the Oval Office.
Yes, there are drawbacks to Romney's choice of Ryan. He's never run on a statewide basis and is not well-known nationally outside of Republican circles. But his undisputed strengths far outweigh such considerations. As many have noted since Saturday, the race from here on in is apt to be one about ideals. And when it comes down to choosing between Romney-Ryan and four more years of the Obama's socialist-style politics, we suspect a majority voters in Cherokee and elsewhere will find "RR" an easy choice.

SNOOKER: Wiltshire's Lee will appeal 12-year ban
6:00am Thursday 10th October 2013 in Latest News
STEPHEN Lee is to appeal against his 12-year ban from snooker and the findings of a tribunal into match-fixing, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association has announced.
Former world number five Lee, a regular at the 147 Club on Station Road, has insisted on his innocence throughout the investigation into claims surrounding seven matches in 2008 and 2009.
Trowbridge-based Lee, who turns 39 on Saturday, was found guilty of fixing offences at an independent hearing arranged by Sport Resolutions UK and served with his long ban on September 25.
He was also ordered to pay £40,000 in costs.
The sport's governing body said in a statement on Wednesday: "The WPBSA has received notice of appeal from solicitors representing Stephen Lee.
"He is appealing against the finding of the tribunal, the sanction and the costs awarded. The WPBSA has asked Sport Resolutions UK to manage the appeal process and appoint an independent QC to chair the appeals committee."

unprepare - (v) Put yourself back into a state that you are not prepared.

What else could "unprepare" as a verb mean
The process of making yourself unprepared.
To me, it doesn't mean that you have to be prepared in the first place. If you don't do anything to get yourself ready for a presentation, one could say: "I will unprepare myself for the presentation".
Face it, the term sucks. It's silly. startup() and shutdown() are much better terms and more recognizable. As with all technical operations, it is best not to come up with new terms that may lead to confusion. The clearer you make your function names, the clearer you code will be to understand.
Posted Dec 28, 2011 20:48 UTC (Wed) by robbe (subscriber, #16131) [Link]
Why? You can't prepare yourself if you are already prepared, can you? So by symmetry unpreparing implies that you were prepared, and somehow undo that state.
To this non-native speaker at least.
That said, I have no beef with the alternative verbs given in this thread.
This is common situation...
Posted Dec 28, 2011 22:17 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
I've seen it many times before: you see group of people, they all talk using English and have no problems understanding each other. Suddenly someone says: "no, you can not say <this> or <that>" and then fails to explain why. Invariably that someone is native speaker and he can not explain why you can not say <this> or <that> because there are no simple explanation.
If you'll ask linguist then usually source of the problem can be found: perhaps 200 years ago word was ostracized because it was too similar to some vulgar slang. It may be 300 years ago the original world (if this <this> or <that> are some modifications of other word) had slightly different meaning and so un<this> or im<that> made do sense. Sometimes even linguists have no explanation and can just cite some 100 years old articles which said (without explanation) that "<this> or <that> is not a word, don't use it".
This phenomenon if not restricted to English, this happens with all languages, of course.
As for me, I've filed "unprepare" under "strange aberration where English does not give you right to use seemingly simple and clear word". Really: why "unstick" does mean that something was stuck and "uncork" does mean that something was corked yet "unprepare" does not mean that someone was prepared?
Apparently the answer is "for historical reason": Marriam-Webster does include this word but gives the following explanation - "to cause to be unprepared : make unfit or unready <the purpose is precisely to unprepare the reader W.M.Frohock>" thus apparently you don't need to be prepared before you'll be unprepared, this can happen from "normal state", too.
Posted Jan 3, 2012 14:36 UTC (Tue) by ibukanov (subscriber, #3942) [Link]
As non-native English speaker I perceived "unprepare" not as to undo the preparations but rather as to go from the initial state to the state where one would spend more efforts later if he wants to prepare. "Unprepare for a trip" would mean in that interpretation not to empty a travel bag and put things from it back to the shelves where they were before, but to make even more mess at home so it would be more difficult at some later point to pack things together in preparations for the trip.

The nose is weak for an IPA. The flavor profile begins with a blast of oranges upfront followed by light malt flavor and a dry hop finish that gets more bitter as one drinks this offering down.

Planning Commission gives OK for 53 new apartments on Ann Arbor's west side
The Ann Arbor Planning Commission voted 6-0 Tuesday night to approve plans for 53 new apartment units at the northwest corner of West Liberty Street and South Maple Road.
The developer's request, which picks up where a previous developer left off, now goes to the Ann Arbor City Council for final approval.
Rendering from architect Brad Moore
Ann Arbor-based Norfolk Development Co. now wants to finish building a scaled-back version of the project, which is being called Blue Heron Pond.
Instead of condos, the development, if approved, would consist of mostly two- and three-bedroom rentals.
Jim Franke of Norfolk Development Co. previously stated rents would range from $1,500 to $1,800 per unit, which is the price range of the existing units.
An 11-unit apartment building stands on the property where developer Michael Concannon originally proposed an eight-building condo development in 2005.
Financing issues and the economic downturn stalled the project, and then lender Fifth Third Bank sold the loan to Norfolk. The existing building on the site was constructed in 2006 and was vacant until this spring when the new owner purchased the property.
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
The estimated cost of construction is $4.2 million.
The nine new buildings proposed will be located around a wetland and four of them will front on West Liberty Street. The project is proposed to be phased, with the four units along Liberty and associated parking constructed first, and the remaining five buildings constructed in the second phase.
The units will range in size from 980 to 2,577 square feet.
Each unit will have a one-car attached garage and interior bicycle parking. There will be a total of 36 surface parking spaces distributed in nine small parking lots on the site.
The project's architect, Brad Moore of J Bradley Moore & Associates, told planning commissioners Tuesday night the new plan is less intensive, buildings have been downsized and open space has been increased.

Gonzales, Alberto
The latest news on Gonzales, Alberto
The hiring of former attorney general Alberto Gonzales has worried some in the Texas Tech community.
Alberto Gonzales will teach a course on contemporary executive-branch issues for the Red Raiders.
Attorney General-nominee disputes President Bush over legality of that interrogation method.
Add Gonzales's name to the list of the walking wounded.
Neither side is immune.
A conversation with former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias.
Alberto Gonzales has not had the easiest time on the lecture circuit since resigning from his U.S. attorney general post last year.
Much has changed since Michael Mukasey made his first vows to the Department of Justice in 1972, beginning his career as an assistant U.S. attorney. But when the 66-year-old former federal judge took the oath as the 81st attorney general this morning, he promised to uphold the same obligations he had made 35 years ago: to apply the law fairly and impartially.
Nothing's changed since Whispers broke the story.

Letters to the Editor
Read what our readers have to say about Maine.
Where in Maine?
We were thrilled to see the beautiful winter photo of the East Machias River in your January issue. My wife and I ministered at the First Baptist Church (built in 1834) shown on the left side of the river, while our son and daughter attended Washington Academy (established in 1792) up the hill on the right side of the river. East Machias is one of the most uniquely beautiful places in Maine. Eagles soar over its riverbanks, seals play in the river below the rapids, and salmon are free to roam upriver now that the hydro-electric dam has been removed. The railroad tracks on the left bank of the river have been removed and the roadbed is now open as a Down East trail . Most of all, the people are as authentic Down East Mainers as you'll find anywhere along coastal Route 1.
—Reverend Dan and Connie Michaud
New Gloucester, Maine
The scene displayed in your January "Where in Maine?" section is none other than the beautiful village of East Machias. I was a student at the University of Maine at Machias in the 1980s, and I know the scene well. The First Baptist Church, in the foreground of the photograph, was a landmark for me as I traveled between the college and my home in central Penobscot County. Thank you for stirring old memories of friends and of
college days now long since passed.
—William O. Chesley
Woodville, Maine
I instantly recognized my hometown of East Machias in your January issue. It is a beautiful little village, snow-covered or not. The dark shingled building used to be Gatcomb's grocery store. To the left of the church was the Town Hall School; it burned many years ago, and the municipal building stands there now. I remember going with my father to watch fishermen dipping for alewives at the dam above the hydro station. All the old ways of commerce might be gone, but it still remains a great Maine town, uncluttered by urban sprawl and full of wonderful residents.
—Kathryn Vose-Anderson
Prospect, Maine
Remembering the Gaslight
Your January article about dining in Maine neglected to include among Portland's early restaurants the Gaslight, located on Exchange Street in the block above Fore Street. Elizabeth and Richard DeFranco owned the restaurant and opened it in the late 1960s or very early 1970s. Richard was chef and Elizabeth also cooked. Their food was superb — equal to any found in Portland's finest eating establishments. The Gaslight was a bright star among the decayed and boarded-up buildings on Exchange Street. We who frequented the Gaslight (the clientele was large) would say the DeFrancos were the precursors of Portland's famed cuisine.
—Rebecca Hotelling
Freeport, Maine
Quick Getaways
I read with interest your December "North by East" item about Mainers' tendency to back into a parking space. I recall that when studying for the driver's test years ago it was "illegal to back out into a state numbered route." I just studied the current manual and could find no reference to it being illegal, but I did find this: "Because it is hard to see while you are backing, try to do as little backing as possible. Avoid backing into traffic. When you enter a driveway or parking space, back into it unless signs forbid it. That way you will be going forward when you pull out."
—Cynthia Anthony
Searsmont, Maine
Noisy Turbines
We have the misfortune of living within a half mile of the wind turbines on Vinalhaven, the subject of your December "Talk of Maine" article. Imagine how you would feel if turbines were built in your neighborhood and suddenly you were forced into an unimaginable situation? There are so many families in Maine that are overwhelmed trying to deal with problems related to wind farms because the Maine state noise regulations are outdated and inappropriate for neighborhoods. I sincerely hope that you take the time to cover the whole story, not just for those of us who are struggling on Vinalhaven, but also for the many families in places such as Mars Hill.
—Sally Wylie
Vinalhaven and Rockland, Maine
A quote in our article about Damariscotta artist Jake Day ("The Mainer Who Found Bambi," December 2009), should have been attributed to the Lincoln County News, rather than the Lincoln County Weekly. Down East apologizes for the error.

The sky's not the limit for the St. Anne Luxury Lofts.
Instead of four floors, the building currently under construction stands five stories tall, and that's not what the developer and city council agreed on.
"The developer submitted building plans later on that included an optional fifth story," said East Lansing Planning and Community Development Director Tim Dempsey. "Once we realized that that fifth story was going to be included, we went back to the developer, who had to resubmit plans for approval by city council."
By that point, it was too late. The fifth floor was already there. Dempsey said it was a miscommunication due to a complicated situation involving numerous city departments and multiple parties on the developer's side.
"He was under the impression that he could go ahead and construct that - that we had adminstrative abilities, but in this case, we did not, because of the significance of the fifth story," Dempsey said.
Fifth story construction was halted as of last week.
"The developer can no longer do any interior build out," Dempsey said. "He is able to secure the exterior for safety purposes in terms of protecting the other floors. However, he cannot go any further than that until city council grants its approval."
The planning commission said it recommends city council approve the request, but some city council members weren't pleased with this process. If they deny the request, the fifth floor would have to be removed.
"Generally speaking, this is the nature of urban redevelopment," said Dempsey. "It's very complicated. Certainly we're trying to accomodate the developer so he can finish his project, but at the same time we have to make sure he adheres to all the regulations that the city has in place."
The developer couldn't be reached for comment, but Dempsey said he is cooperating.
"We continue to try to communicate back and forth," Dempsey said. "There are challenges on site on a daily basis. Communication between him and the on site crew has been good. We had some issues obviously early on, we've improved upon those. We have regular site meetings on site now, so we're doing these to be proactive to avoid any complications going forward."
City Council will hold a public hearing on the issue July 10. If they give fifth floor the go ahead, the permit could approved by the following day.
The other four floors are still on schedule. They're expected to open to tenants in August.
