Rejection Letter
Defendant Silverio, who was sentenced to 272 months (22 years, 8 months) in prison, had been offered, and rejected, a plea agreement with a binding sentencing recommendation of 17 years. On appeal, he argued that district court erred in refusing to consider the terms of the rejected agreement at sentencing.
Not surprisingly, the appellate court disagreed. There is nothing in § 3553(a) - or circuit precedent - that requires a district court to do so. Accordingly, finding no substantive or procedural defect with the sentence, the court affirmed.

Dear People of the Page:
I've been silent here for sometime now. Just not a lot to say I guess but I have been working on two projects.
- Transcription of a newspaper listing for Comal County Texas Voters in 1868. - When I found this newspaper listing, I thought it'd only take a couple of hours to get copied but that soon proved a mistake. The newspaper block letters are missing and illegible (at least to me) in several places. I finally had to ask for help in transcribing the list. A new found Twitter friend, Frances Ellsworth graciously volunteered and has been transcribing the list as well. Hopefully with two eyes on the project, the list will be useful when it is finished.
- Templates for the U.S. Federal Census Non-Population Schedules, Agriculture 1850-1880 – While searching Ancestry for more documents on my Schmidt line, I happened across a "Agriculture Census Schedule". The main problem was the headings on the form itself were so blurry as to be almost unreadable. So I looked on Ancestry for a template – none. I searched the web – none. I even went to the "go to" in census templates, Census Tools – none. So I decided to make my own. I'll have more to say about the forms later.
Until then…
Happy Hunting!

"Meshkal" (Kaleidoscope), a short film by Dania Bdeir, an aspiring Lebanese director, born in Montreal in 1989 and growing up in Beirut. Dania graduated from the American University of Beirut, holding an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design, but her passion for film-making lead her to spend her free time as a production assistant for TV commercials. "Graphic design was great but film was my passion" Dania says, so as soon as she graduated from AUB, Dania left to New York where she is now a second year graduate film student at Tisch School of the Arts in New York University "NYU", concentrating on writing and directing.
"Meshkal" is Dania's second year film, which will be shot in January 2013 in Beirut. The film is the story of Amer, a 7-year-old boy with a wild and magical imagination. Inspired by true events, it is the story of Amer's journey as he sneaks into his dad's car in the middle of the night and goes tire burning with him.
The Tech Ticker had a quick interview with Dania Bdeir; this is what Dania had to say about "Meshkal" and the Lebanese film scene in general:
What was the main inspiration behind "Meshkal"?
"Meshkal" was entirely inspired from the events of summer 2012. I had come back from New York for the summer only to find daily tire burning protests from the EDL's part time employees. I read an article stating that the Lebanese parliament passed a ruling granting the workers their demands of full time contracts but later, the minister refused to accept the ruling, claiming it would mean that Christians would be underrepresented in the company.
I found it appalling that these people would be denied something they've worked so hard for (after they got it approved), for such a silly reason. It was a first time that I began to understand a violent reaction such as tire burning. "Meshkal" tries to go into the lives of one of these men, and more specifically through the point of view of his 7-year-old son thus highlighting the vicious cycle we're stuck in. The government ignores the people who then react this way and teach their kids that this is the only way to have your voice heard and to protect your dignity.
Films about war and violence dominate the Lebanese cinema; don't you fear that "Meshkal" will be classified under the "war film cliché?
I honestly don't think there is such a thing as a Lebanese "war film cliché", film is a reflection of life and whether we like to believe it or not, Lebanon has had nothing but wars in its past. The wars we've lived through encompass hundreds of thousands of stories that deserve to be told. These wars explain a lot about the way we are as people, our escapism, our denial, our love for life, our hate, and our violence. Thus, the only way to tackle any kind of trauma in life is to deal with it, instead of just sweeping it under the rug.
With that being said, "Meshkal" is not another war film. Tire burning is a reality we've been living for a few years now and "Meshkal" is a personal story about a little boy's coming of age as he is forced to become a man. It is not about war. It's about trying hard to believe in something magical (such as Lebanon) against all odds.Anyone who's ever really tried believing in this country, and believing in its colors and spirit, will relate to Amer.
Why did you choose crowd-source funding (indiegogo.com) to finance "Meshkal", instead of conventional funding channels used to fund Lebanese films?
I wouldn't exactly call it an unconventional source. Almost all of my classmates and fellow Tisch students in New York use crowd-source funding websites to cover their films' budgets. Crowd-source funding is pretty much the future of fundraising. The Internet is a beautiful thing; we are no longer limited to the few people we know and talk to on a daily basis. With crowd-source funding, we can now reach hundreds and thousands if not more, with any project that we have in mind. Once your audience is that wide, all it takes is to touch a few people who relate, respond and decide to be involved with just a simple click. If every person gives just a little bit, an idea turns into an actual project and everybody wins.
Do you follow the emerging Lebanese film industry? What is your opinion regarding the Lebanese film scene in the last few years?
For the past few years, there has definitely been an increase in Lebanese feature films hitting the market. I find it refreshing and very promising especially for us younger filmmakers. In Lebanon right now, there is a new generation of very talented and very passionate young filmmakers very eager to make quality films. They generally work in the more lucrative, yet less interesting, advertising world just to make money and then feed their souls by working on narrative films for free. The new emergence of Lebanese films gives hope to the dream that one day, we'd have a viable and rewarding film industry so that all that passion can go into a valid outlet.
Do you have any thoughts for future projects? Who do you dream to collaborate with in the future (Actors, Directors, Writers)?
I have many ideas and scripts for future projects I'd like to work on. There are so many stories worth telling in this country, it is really very exciting. When it comes to actors and writers in Lebanon, I am still now getting to know the people in the field, but I would love to one-day work with cinematographer Muriel Aboulrouss who is a constant inspiration. I'd also love to work with or just learn from director Ziad Doueiry who directed one of my all-time favorite films "West Beirut".
Would you like to add anything in the end? Any last word for Tech-Ticker readers?
I would really like to add a big huge thank you to the entire passionate team and crew working on bringing "Meshkal" to life. Karim Ghorayeb, Issa Kandil, Melissa Karam, Rawad Hobeika, Farah Naboulsi, Kasem Hatoum, Petra Serhal as well as The Diet Center and Sannine for providing free catering and water, Platform Studios for a beautiful considerable discount on equipment, Cleartag and Bank Audi for helping us get online donations from Lebanese contributors and Wonderful Production for their support.
Finally a big "Thank you" to everyone who's contributed and shared the "Meshkal" Indiegogo campaign. For a film about the difficulty in believing in something positive, I am truly humbled by the amount of people who have believed in "Meshkal".

My Email Digests
I presented in mid March with binocular diplopia, which worsened for nearly a month before maintaining a certain level of visual disfunction. About a month later, I began having ptosis of the left eyelid. Just over a month after this occured, The right side of my face became completely paralyzed. I was not able to even close my right eye completely using effort.
Now, I had my first appointment with a neurologist today. At this point the only remaining symptom of my original symptoms, caused by three separate lesions, is the binocular diplopia. It improved slightly at one point, but there has been no difference in over a month other than the occasional worsening of right eye deviance.
I was unsure if the neurologist was even going to be willing to diagnose me with MS at this point, but after I explained the situation and he pulled up the notes from the emergency room visits he was quick to offer a diagnosis and got the paperwork started for the $0 copay of Rebif.
Here is where I have a problem: After he gave me the information about disease modifying drugs, I attempted to talk to him about some symptoms that have been appearing since I last left the hospital. He told me that I did not have new lesions, and that it sounded like it was just anxiety. I could not believe that he had the nerve to say this to me, when he had not even been willing to listen to the symptoms that I have been having. I attempted to mention a couple of the most troubling symptoms, like electric pains shooting through my right jaw and worsening dizziness and balance problems. Before I was able to mention any of the other symptoms that are causing me a lot of grief and not a little anxiety, he stated that he was not willing to treat any of the symptoms at this point, and that I needed to get started on the disease modifying drug before we started worrying about any of the other symptoms.
To me, having just come in to my first neurologist appointment since leaving the emergency room, I felt that I had just been told, "Well, it's confirmed, you have an incurable degenerative disease. Thank you for spending nearly three hundred dollars, we'll talk more when I'm done avoiding all of your questions. Also, I refuse to treat any of your symptoms unless you're on a disease modifying drug."
Needless to say, I'm hurt and upset. Has anybody else ever gone through something similar?View Thread

NORMAN — A Norman city councilman is claiming the mayor of Oklahoma's third-largest city violated the state's Open Meeting Act during discussions about a possible pay raise for the city manager.
Norman councilman accuses mayor of violating Open Meetings Act
Mayor Cindy Rosenthal, who is up for re-election in two weeks, called the accusation "politics ... there's nothing to it."
Councilman Tom Kovach, who represents Ward 2, told The Oklahoman that the mayor violated the law by sending a memo to council members in February, discussing pay raise options for the city manager, Steve Lewis.
Kovach said the memo sent Feb. 19 by Rosenthal to council members represented a "walking quorum."
"It's been a practice of the mayor to, you know, send these kinds of memos and seek input outside of an open meeting," Kovach said.
The memo, which was requested by "several council members," was drafted with the help of City Attorney Jeff Bryant, Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal denied that the document — or how or when it was sent — is illegal.
"I send them memos about appointments, to boards and commissions," Rosenthal said. "In fact, before we nominate people, I send a memo out telling them who I intend to nominate, and I ask for input.
"The item is then on the agenda and a public vote is taken."
Bryant said that he doesn't believe that any Open Meeting Act violations occurred when Rosenthal sent the memo.
Bryant said his office is not releasing the memo because doing so would violate attorney-client privilege and because he views the document as belonging to the Norman City Council.

Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in an American Kitchenby Donia Bijan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For Donia Bijan's family, food has been the language they use to tell their stories and to communicate their love. In 1978, when the Islamic revolution in Iran threatened their safety, they fled to California's Bay Area, where the familiar flavors of Bijan's mother's cooking formed a bridge to the life they left behind. Now, through the prism of food, award-winning chef Donia Bijan unwinds her own story, finding that at the heart of it all is her mother, whose love and support enabled Bijan to realize her dreams.
From the Persian world of her youth to the American life she embraced as a teenager to her years at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris (studying under the infamous Madame Brassart) to apprenticeships in France's three-star kitchens and finally back to San Francisco, where she opened her own celebrated bistro, Bijan evokes a vibrant kaleidoscope of cultures and cuisines. And she shares thirty inspired recipes from her childhood (Saffron Yogurt Rice with Chicken and Eggplant and Orange Cardamom Cookies), her French training (Ratatouille with Black Olives and Fried Bread and Purple Plum Skillet Tart), and her cooking career (Roast Duck Legs with Dates and Warm Lentil Salad and Rose Petal Ice Cream).
An exhilarating, heartfelt memoir, Maman's Homesick Pie is also a reminder of the women who encourage us to shine.
"As a chef, Bijan is known for blending the cultures and cuisines of the places she's called home: Iran, France, and America. She does the same in her wonderfully written memoir, sharing memories of her childhood in Iran that are so well rendered, readers will easily envision her father making a simple, sumptuous salad or her mother offering bites of delicious seasonal cheeses. Her parents, well-respected founders of a busy obstetric hospital, were named as infidels during the Islamic revolution, so the family fled to California in 1978. Bijan writes movingly of her parents' accomplishments, their difficulty adjusting to their new home, and her own burgeoning love of food and cooking. What began in her parents' kitchen in Iran continued in America, and took her to Paris and the famed Cordon Bleu school. After apprenticeships in France and California, Bijan was chef at a high-end San Francisco hotel and had her own well-reviewed bistro for a decade. Like the perfect dessert, each chapter ends with recipes, from a pomegranate granita she savored in Iran to cardamom honey madeleines evocative of France." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

From the Chariton Leader of July 12, 1955
With its castle-like tower a pile of brick at its base, the famed "Mallory Castle" takes one of her last looks over the peaceful valley to the south before contractor sledge and ropes haul her down from decades of mastery as the Ilion. Hardly resembling her former self without the tower and cornice pieces, the building is being razed to permit the construction of a new housing addition in Chariton. It will be adjacent to the high school athletic field, National Guard Armory and city swimming pool. Dave Hafferty isin charge of razing operation.

I think both my dogs have been healthier since taking Omega-Caps.
My 4-legged fur-babies ate down the omega caps without hesitation! Easiest thing ever!
I've been using this for 3 or 4 years My pug is still healthy and I would recommend this to anyone. The price can't be beat.
My dog has been taking these caps for about a year and a half and her scratching has basically stopped. I give them to her all year long and I believe her skin and coat have improved.
My little kitty was licking all his hair off. We thought it might be anxiety, so the vet prescribed something for that - did not help. I tried other products for that condition - didn't work. Out of desperation, I ordered these Omega-Caps and his hair has almost completely grown back!!! Must be the omega fatty acids that are making his skin not itch any more. Whatever, I am very thankful!
very reasonably priced, pure ingredients reccomended by my vet for westie with skin problems
I buy these vitamins for my little havenese/poodle mix. He rarely itches anymore.
I have two black cats and have been using these caps for years. One in the morning and one in the evening for each kitty. I squeeze it on their dry food. If they notice, they don't say anything. Their coats are beautiful and unlike many black kitties, no little white flakes. Great stuff!
These keep my 12 year old mini longhaired Dachshund Bandit going strong.I give him one every morning and he enjoys them.Sort of like a little snack.His coat is shinny and soft also.
My chihuahua had really bad skin, red itching and scratching all the time.
After using the Omega caps her skin is all healed. She doesn't have the bad body odor anymore. I highly recommend this product.
I bought this for my cats and small dog. When my 50 pounder started chewing some, I decided he should be in on the cure. I hope. They really do like it a lot. If I forget to put it on the dogfood, I just squeeze it out on the bowl and they lick it up. I feel so good giving them a supplement I know works for us 2 leggeds.
Great product for dogs with skin issues. Reduces dry skin
My chihuaua, Chi Chi, has very sensitive skin and tends to scratch a lot. Since I've been giving him Omega-Caps, his scratching is greatly reduced and his skin isn't as red as before.
We use this for our dogs allergies. From Entirely Pets we get twice the amount for the same price as we get from our vet. Thanks for your great service
My dog has a skin problem and itching problem.I give her this product every morning on her food.It helps greatly .
This product through Entirely Pets is well received by my cats - 3 of them. Thank you!

Grace and peace from the Lord. As you desire to know whether my painted seal, which you sent to me, has hit the mark, I shall answer most amiably and tell you my original thoughts and reason about why my seal is a symbol of my theology. The first should be a black cross in a heart, which retains its natural color, so that I myself would be reminded that faith in the Crucified saves us. "For one who believes from the heart will be justified" (Rom. 10:10). Although it is indeed a black cross, which mortifies and which should also cause pain, it leaves the heart in its natural color. It does not corrupt nature, that is, it does not kill but keeps alive. "The just shall live by faith" (Rom. 1:17) but by faith in the crucified. Such a heart should stand in the middle of a white rose, to show that faith gives joy, comfort, and peace. In other words, it places the believer into a white, joyous rose, for this faith does not give peace and joy like the world gives (John 14:27). That is why the rose should be white and not red, for white is the color of the spirits and the angels (cf. Matt. 28:3; John 20:12). Such a rose should stand in a sky-blue field, symbolizing that such joy in spirit and faith is a beginning of the heavenly future joy, which begins already, but is grasped in hope, not yet revealed. And around this field is a golden ring, symbolizing that such blessedness in Heaven lasts forever and has no end. Such blessedness is exquisite, beyond all joy and goods, just as gold is the most valuable, most precious and best metal.This is my compendium theologiae [summary of theology]. I have wanted to show it to you in good friendship, hoping for your appreciation. May Christ, our beloved Lord, be with your spirit until the life hereafter. Amen.

Weight loss surgery can help overweight people treat type 2 diabetes
A new research has revealed weightloss surgery or gastric banding can play a vital role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in people who are overweight.
The research conducted by the Monash University study has found that weight loss surgery for overweight people with diabetes had a profound impact on the illness.
Paul O'Brien said that they have found that treatment of type 2 diabetes in overweight people by substantial weight loss is safe and hugely beneficial.
The results showed that there was a strong relationship between the amount of weight loss and remission of diabetes, clearly showing that successful ways of reducing weight such as gastric banding should have a high priority in the treatment of diabetes.
The study was published in journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today released its new 2011 Strategic Plan, which details how NNSA will invest in the future, build the nuclear security enterprise required to implement President Barack Obama's nuclear security agenda and enhance global security, and continue to improve the way it does business.
As we work to build "OneNNSA," a single integrated enterprise that is organized to successfully complete the NNSA mission, the 2011 Strategic Plan will serve as an outline of NNSA's goals for the next decade and a guide for its planning, programming, and budgeting processes.
In a message included in the Strategic Plan, Administrator Thomas D'Agostino writes:
"We are building on the Nation's renewed commitment to nuclear security. To enhance global and national security, the NNSA is strengthening its ability to ensure that we have the people, tools, and information required to address the broader set of national security needs, including renewal of our facilities. We will execute our mission with the high level of safety, security, ethical, fiscal, and environmental responsibility the Nation expects."

(Allison Joyce/Getty Images)Factions calling for colleges to pay student athletes will not see the current policy against such a practice change any time soon, according to NCAA president Mark Emmert.Speaking at a Marquette University forum on Monday, Emmert said the NCAA could see a major restructure in the near future, but that the paying of student athletes won't be a part of that shift. Emmert points to university presidents as the main roadblock to allowing players to be paid for jobs or for their athletic hours while other scholarship students are allowed to work on-campus jobs."One thing that sets the fundamental tone is there's very few members and, virtually no university president, that thinks it's a good idea to convert student-athletes into paid employees. Literally into professionals," NCAA president Mark Emmert said Monday at Marquette University. "Then you have something very different from collegiate athletics. One of the guiding principles (of the NCAA) has been that this is about students who play sports."While the NCAA and schools are benefiting from the billion-dollar business that is college athletics, athletes like Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel are scrutinized for benefiting financially from their performance. Texas A&M reported raising a record $740 million last year, in large part due to the success of Manziel and his teammates.ROSENBERG: The NCAA has an amateurism mess on its handsIn contrast to the position taken by college presidents, the NCAA's Division I Board of Directors has twice approved allowing schools to give athletes a stipend to cover expenses such as clothes, off-campus meals and travel that are not covered by their scholarship. Smaller schools have led a vote against the move, citing the costs of such stipends. Larger schools with bigger budgets are better prepared to pay such stipends, and could push for a restructuring that allows them to act without the smaller schools' votes.Commissioners of powerful conferences -- SEC, Big 10, Big 12 -- have gone public with their desire for a restructured NCAA. Emmert said discussions will begin at the organization's meeting next month. The agenda for the NCAA national convention will include a day-and-a-half forum that will allow the entire membership to express opinions."That could involve bringing all 350 members of Division I together and having every school vote on it," Emmert said. "It'll be a bit like a constitutional convention."Emmert said that no school has threatened to leave the NCAA because to do so would jeopardize its participation in March Madness and other NCAA championships. But the chasm between large and small voting members is growing."They're having a really hard time finding common interests," he said. Promoted Stories Comments

« Have The Rules Changed? |
| Access to Phase I Drugs: A Constitutional Right? »
Posted by Derek
Since I made a big point out of this in a comment to the last Ariad post, I wanted to update things. The jury is out - literally - on the case versus Lilly right now, and I notice the stock creeping up a bit today.
So, I am now short Ariad stock, 1000 shares at 5.56. This isn't a recommendation that anyone else should run out and do the same, but I thought it was important that I mention it since I've written about the company. I'll post again on the topic after the verdict comes in (which will be when I close out this position, one way or another, I should think).

Ariad won. Hope you didn't cover right away. And I also hope it'll get overturned.
2. Jonathan Robinson on May 5, 2006 8:19 PM writes...
I agree with your positioning on ARIA eventually winning the lawsuit (very slim) but be careful here as the other work the company is doing is probably worth something close to current value and if something good happens there, the stock could to up even with a loss. The mkt has to be factoring in very little value for a win here, unless Wall Street is more stupid than any of us believe. I have not seen one informed person believe that ARIA can eventually win. But what do I know, RIMM ultimately got held up in tech land.

Prodigal Summerby Barbara Kingsolver
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
After earning international acclaim with The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver returns in Prodigal Summer to her childhood stomping grounds of southern Appalachia, making a stop on the New York Times Bestseller list along the way. This award winning fifth novel is somewhat lighter than her earlier works, though no less meaningful and certainly just as entertaining. Kingsolver deftly embraces new risks, largely in the interaction of setting and plot lines that carry her message. High above the Zebulon Valley, a reclusive Forest Service biologist is forced to consider her own connection with humanity when a young bounty hunter trailing the same coyotes she's observing becomes her unlikely companion. Down the mountain, a young widow faces a choice between protecting her heart (by moving back to the city) or pouring it into the land to which she has become deeply attached. Further down the road, two elderly neighbors squabbling over pesticides and God are drawn together by their ideological differences to share a lesson in interdependence. All three plots unfold as the nature within and around them follows the abundant summer's urging to procreate. Where lesser writers would turn these fertile scenes into a prodigal disaster, Kingsolver weaves instead a beautifully detailed, touching meditation on nature and the connection that all things share within it. Prodigal Summer's carefully crafted ecological treatise is a love story told with Kingsolver's signature keen observations and earthy, poetic wit. Powell's customers named Prodigal Summer among their favorites and it's sure to please others in search of a richly refreshing, heartwarming and thoughtful read. Lilus, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. From her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin, Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. She is caught off-guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and confounds her self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself unexpectedly marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land that has become her own. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the possibilities of a future neither of them expected.
Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate overtakes the countryside, these characters find their connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with whom they share a place. With the complexity that characterizes Barbara Kingsolver's finest work, Prodigal Summer embraces pure thematic originality and demonstrates a balance of narrative, drama, and ideas that render it an inspiring work of fiction.

Barbara Kingsolver's fifth novel is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. It weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives amid the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, this novel's intriguing protagonists face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which they necessarily share a place.
In a beautiful hymn to wildness, Kingsolver celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature and of nature itself. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate takes over the countryside, the novel's characters find their connections to one another in the forested mountains of southern Appalachia.

Interdisciplinary Inquiry
Social Transformation professor Marc Pilisuk encourages action on rising student debt levels
by Marc Pilisuk
Student loan debt has surpassed one trillion dollars, exceeding the total of credit card debt in our country. Yet unlike other types of debt, student loans cannot be used as a reason for declaring bankruptcy. Many Saybrook students - like students everywhere - are adversely affected by crushing levels of student debt.
For those who may be interested, a piece of legislation entitled The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170) is hoping to address this pressing issue. Demonstrating the depth of concern, a petition in support of H.R. 4170 surpassed ONE MILLION SIGNATURES. Within weeks Congress will likely be voting on this bill and still more signatures are needed if the bill is to be considered. As a member of the Social Transformation faculty I have long encouraged people to participate in social action, especially when the consequences affect them directly. If you believe that debt forgiveness is worth considering you can find the petition and more information on the SignOn.org website.

Scouting Report: Sturdy catcher's frame. Excellent at throwing runners out. Good gap power and contact at the plate. Leader, good game caller. No particularly dominant tools, but all are average or above average.
Listed as the 20th prospect on Sox Prospects.
RSN Interview
Mark Wagner was the Red Sox selection in the 9th round of the 2005 draft. A right-handed hitting catcher out of UC-Irvine, Wagner made his professional debut with the Lowell Spinners last year, hitting .203-0-6 in 24 games. A 21-year-old resident of Lakewood, California, Wagner is starting the 2006 season with the Greenville Drive.
On his first spring training: "It went well. It was a good first step to get ready for my first full season. In a way, I was kind of in awe, especially getting to dress for some big league games. It was a great learning experience talking to Tek (Jason Varitek). I asked him about a lot -- the whole nine yards. One thing I wanted to know was how he did it in the minor leagues -- how he worked to get where he is now. He didn't tell me I'd have to figure that out myself, but he did say finding out what works for you, and what doesn't, is important. He talked a lot about preparation. As a catcher, you're in constant communication with the pitchers and coaches, and you need to understand your game."
On the start of the season: "I missed the first two games with food poisoning. It was upsetting not playing in the opener, but I was pretty sick. It was great to finally be on the field yesterday (Saturday), but even though I played well defensively I didn't have quality at bats. I was fired up to get the season going, and was maybe a little jittery. I almost felt like a fish out water at the plate, which is funny when you've been doing it for almost 20 years. I was rushing too much, but it was only four at-bats and I hope to get 400 more this year."
On catching Ismael Casillas's four hitless innings on Saturday: "He threw great. We were on the same page, and he was throwing everything for strikes. It's not fair to the hitters when a pitcher is pounding the strike zone with all of his pitches, and that's what he was doing."
On his first impressions of the South Atlantic League: "To be honest, it doesn't seem that different from last year in Lowell. I know it's only been four games, but there doesn't seem to be a big difference in the jump in talent. I asked a few people about that, and they told me there isn't a big difference between the A levels. There's probably a little more consistency as you go up, but not in the talent itself."
On one of the things he learned in the offseason: "I started doing yoga to work on my flexibility. Lear (Rob Leary, the Red Sox minor league field coordinator and catching instructor) recommended it, and so did a few other guys. At first I wasn't too keen on it, because I've always kind of looked at it as a
girl's thing. But I decided to give it a try, and it was like, 'Wow.' A lot of the pitchers do it, and it's really been helpful. I'm in great shape right now, and that's one of the reasons."
Most Valuable Network - A look at Mark Wagner
Going back to the 2005 Draft class, as we look 9th Round Pick, Catcher Mark Wagner.
Mark was originally drafted in the 29th round of the 2002 Draft (by Atlanta), but [/B]decided to go to UC-Irvine instead. He had three progressively better years there, culminating in his Jr. Season where he went .355/.398/.495 with 11 doubles, 4 triples and 4 HRs. He did only walk 9 times and struck out 26 times. He was one of 10 catchers the Sox drafted last season.
After signing, Mark was placed with the Lowell Spinners, where he had a tough time offensively, going .203/.309/.261. However, there are some good things behind the numbers. Specifically, in 24 games he walked 9 times and struck out only 7 times. More importantly, I am of the opinion that the hardest position to come into professional baseball is as a catcher. First, he has to deal with the defensive portion of the program working with a bunch of pitchers he has never seen before. And, then, he has to hit with a wood bat as opposed to the aluminum of college.
This year, he was bumped up to Greenville to start the year. And his start has been a revelation. Through 32 games, Mark has hit .336/.374/.525 with 9 doubles and 4 HRs. He has walked 8 times and struck out 19. He seems to be catching the bigger prospects at Greenville, and appears to have a good defensive reputation. Almost by default, he is the best catching prospect in the system at this moment.
I dont expect him to be moved out of Greenville until late this year, if at all. The first 122 at bats have been great, but we still have no guarantee of this is a true jump (which is possible for the 21 year old), or a small sample fluke. But I am extremely happy with this start.

Cheesewerks is the city's newest, quirky grilled-cheese specialty shop, giving Kensington Market's The Grilled Cheese and the also recently opened Construction Site a little competition. Located in the relatively sparse South Bathurst area, the glassy enclosure boasts fresh house-made soups, baked goods, libations, and of course, plenty of grilled cheese sandwiches, ranging from bare-bones classics to imaginative creations.
The brightly lit, sleek interior of Cheesewerks, though only two weeks old when I stop by earlier this week, is bustling with winter coat-clad thirty-somethings chowing down on oozing sandwiches and drinking house-made "artisan" sodas ($3). With a dining room set against a wall mosaic of cheese-inspired orange and yellows, I feel a little like I'm part of a playtime lunch-break in elementary school. The juxtaposition of playfulness and minimalism punctuates the menu as much as it does the décor.
My friend and I spend some time looking over the city-inspired sandwich menu. Wanting to try a few flavours, I go for the "Toronto" ($9.50), lauded as a "mini-tower of grilled cheese sliders from Toronto's foodie neighbourhoods." I am asked to select two of the following three choices: "Koreatown" (gruyere and kimchi), "Danforth" (aged goat cheddar and olive tapenade), and "Little Italy" (buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil). Salivating, I opt for the Koreatown and Danforth, which sound the most interesting. My friend picks "Los Angeles" (8.50) — a delicious-sounding combo of havarti, smashed avocado, arugula and citrus. Our stomachs rumble in anticipation.
After we wait for seven or eight minutes, my name is called and I feel a little puzzled when I pick up my order. The intriguing "mini-tower" of grilled cheese sliders is just a regular grilled cheese, with two different halves. Misrepresentation aside, the Danforth is quite good — the cheese oozes and drips onto the plate as I eat it, and the tapenade is a welcome salty counterpart to the milder goat cheddar. The Koreatown, however, is disappointing. The shredded gruyere is rigid and unmelted and the cold kimchi only adds to my squeamishness.
My friend is patiently still waiting for her sandwich when we finish the first half of mine. Eventually the counterperson informs us that they're out of arugula, and asks whether she'd like to try something else instead. We ask him for a suggestion and he responds "I don't know... anything else." Thinking he must mean substitutions, we ask again what might be tasty. He suggests "The Charleston" ($9.50) — double cream brie, caramelized onions and citrus compote. Though it's a different sandwich all together, we go for it and ask for some specialty ketchup ($0.75) too.
When the sandwich comes out, he brings us a bag of St. John's Bakery organic gingersnap cookies ($1). We appreciate the gesture and take it as an apology for the wait, though no explanation is provided.
The Charleston is truly delicious. The ultra-soft, melted brie threatens to seep through the bread, halted only by a barrier of toasted walnut crust. The apricot chutney is a touch sweet for my taste, but works nicely with the earthy walnuts and tang of the dripping brie.
It's evident from the staff who seem a little flustered by the rush, and the lack of product knowledge from the counter-person, that the spot is still quite new. When they iron out the kinks a few weeks from now, however, I'll return to get some more of that gooey-goodness into my system.

I don't think I will be going personally until people start saying "it filled me up, worth the $10".
75 cents for ketchup just adds insult to injury (is that even a phrase?)
An attack? Yes, everyone's out to get you because you don't like bread.
Overpriced? Just because you have different values than someone who would enjoy this, doesn't make the restaurant wrong for deciding it's price point. Have you payed 12 dollars for a beer at a baseball game? I sure have, and it was worth it.
I had Los Angeles sandwiches and it was good. I felt it was a little greasy, but it was satisfying, had interesting enough flavours, and was definitely enough to make me want to go back to try another one. Service was fine when I was there, but it's apparent that the staff aren't than well trained. They seemed on their way to getting there.
The price.
I could get a freakin' 2-meal Gandhi Roti for that price!
You can go to Alex Farms and buy $10 worth of gourmet cheese and make all the sandwiches you want at home.
You pay extra for a substitution?
Worst part is that it is expensive AND not filling! Painful.
Also - to Tuxedo - I am lactose intolerant and asked them if they would have lactose free cheeses at their shop and they told me that they would and were perfectly accommodating when I asked them at the Distillery to please grill/toast the grilled cheese on its own without using butter.
It's true though, really good quality or unique cheeses are *extremely* expensive these days, so I can see how a sandwich could get expensive when the owners have to pay for supplies, rent, employee salaries etc. but still, I do feel that $7 should be the cap for a higher end grilled cheese sandwich.
Oh - and if you're looking to spend $10 and be stuffed, head to Wvrst. I was there earlier last week and was reminded of how great a place it is.
The rib eye, shrimp, meatball, chicken are all amazing tasty and quite filling sandwiches! the quality is awesome!
They are not California filling, but what is?
What's good in the area you ask?
Tavolino, Big Smoke, Alimento, Thompson Diner, One that got away, Wvrst, Old York, are all GREAT places in no particular order to add to regular rotation! I don't much like Reggies, but many do.
Skip Cheesewerks until they look in the mirror and fix the issues everyone is experiencing. That should speed up the process!
great idea, execution still needs to have its kinks worked out.
I'm not rich but also not poor. I work hard to earn my money, but even if I was wealthy, I couldn't pay more than $5 for lunch/dinner. I live in Chinatown and $5 buys filling meal!
Artisan bread and cheese does not mean someone popped by the Dominion and picked up a baguette from Ace Bakery and took the 1-yr cheddar from the dairy case and threw it on a grill. The bread is handmade and locally sourced and in some cases made only for Cheesewerks. Likewise the cheese has been specifically chosen from local if not Canadian specialty craft cheese makers. I don't know where you folks shop for good cheese but I did a fondue at Christmas, with only 3 varieties, from a good monger at the St. Lawrence Market and it cost almost $86 before the wine was added – and it only yielded about 2 cups - they were an awesome 2 cups mind you and there wasn't a single shred left. The sandwich concoctions at Cheesewerks are amazing, unique and MORE THAN WORTH THE MONEY.
More than that, there are a couple of very unfair comparisons to California Sandwich here. I'd say it depends on the CS location but there is no arguing they make a fantastic product. BUT, if you were to take that same product and source all the ingredients locally, organically and from sustainable practice supply methods the cheapest you'd get one of their sandwiches would be easily $15-$20 – so STFU about the cost of a loaded grilled cheese sandwich.
For those of you Manwich eaters who complain it's not filling enough – I weigh 240 and am 6' tall and have a healthy appetite, i.e. not a mini – I am hard pressed to eat more than the Cheesewerks original sandwich and wash it down with lemonade and not feel completely satisfied. Then again, I didn't come for lunch to stuff my face full until I felt bloated. This is gourmet food folks, if you want to feel the insides of your gut touching your ribcage, stay home and eat Kraft Dinner and hot dogs for chrissake.
As for the great ketchup controversy, I was at the Christmas market a couple of times this year. Cheesewerks was handing out their ketchup to every patron the first time I went. One glance at the garbage showed that people were thinking it was just Heinz and not eating any/most of it. So they stopped giving it out I was told the next time I went by because the perception is/was it's just a condiment out of a can – which it isn't. Like the sandwiches and cheese and soup et al, the ketchup is especially made as well. In hindsight, given all your ridiculous bitching, I'd say give the miserable fuckers Heinz and call it done. Wow – excuse someone for trying to make an effort to actually consider the condiment as an integral part of the grilled cheese experience.
Finally, this restaurant IS locally owned and operated. It IS a start-up venture by a local family. They DO support other local businesses. They ARE sourcing local ingredients of the HIGHEST QUALITY. They are EMPLOYING people. YOU are commenting on someone's hard work and earnest desire to bring you the best possible grilled cheese experience. If you think charging $7.50 to $10 for a sandwich with this much thought and consideration for taste and goodness is too expensive then make your own Velveeta special and stay home you catty, grumpy bunch of pompous jackasses.
I wonder who did the demographic research prior, because none of my friends (who also live in the thompson) are interested in a cheese sandwich store either.
About the review; It was honest. And I fully agree that when they get the new-biz jitters out of the way, this place will be crawling with regulars.
Don't let comments get you down kids!
People want GOOD affordable options !!!! They don't care if the restaurants looks like an Ikea cateologe, they want something with soul, something authentic, w/e
Fact: There is nothing artisan about metro sliced beef wrongly named slowed stewed brisket.
Fact: A 6' 240lb man does not become obese by getting full on a cheese sandwich and lemonade. I call BS.
Fact: Not everybody wants to eat white carbs, fat and salt with no vegetables in sight. Especially January!
Fact: There are many other places to eat with top quality ingredients where value and satisfaction are high.
Fact: Who cares about the ketchup when the value isn't there?
Fact: People need a full lunch or dinner from CW, not to eat something cute.
Fact: There was huge anticipation for CW to open. It let people down and they are now responding. These people would much rather lover the place, but can't!
Fact: If these people (probably your friends) don't change their offering soon, they will be extinct.
You mean a let down, like your restaurant?!
You won't survive either, based on feedback.
Super yummy - high quality food.
Oh, and reading the comment from "Phil" - who, c'mon, is clearly associated with the resto in some way - just ensures that I will never recommend this place to any clients. I'll keep pointing them to the Thompson Diner if they want overpriced, but still decent food.
I have to agree the price seems a bit steep when I looked down at my tray and saw just the sandwich sitting there. It looked appetizing enough but the presentation was kind of sparse shall we say. It's not outrageously overpriced just seemed like parting with $18 for a sandwich and a beer – meh. Maybe if they made the tray smaller it wouldn't look so lonely.
That being said, the taste was really darn good which goes a long, long way in my book.
My wife noticed they also do wine pairings and had a dairy case where you could buy some interesting cheese selections for taking home.
We'll be back.
To say the ketchup was made on-site and how delicious it was, obviously not one person found it delicious at the Christmas market and hence, it ended up in the trash. Why don't you offer regular and gourmet ketchup for customers so they get to choose instead of forcing them to pay $.75?
My opinion is if you want your food to be appreciated, take notes of your customers suggestions and make changes accordingly. This is not a hate group. If 1-2 people gave a bad review, I can understand but when a majority of customers are saying the same thing, it's time to do something about it!
I have never been to cheesewerks but I can say that I don't think there is anything wrong with a business trying to bring the standard grilled cheese to a new level with artisanal products. Again - since I have not been there I cannot comment on the quality or quantity - these things I don't know. But what I do know is that no new business, run by honest people just trying to follow a dream or make a living, deserves the hate that gets put on them in websites like this. Any good and decent person should be disgusted by the stream of foul, rude hate on this website. I know I am. It makes it look like everyone living in Toronto is bitter, miserable and just waiting for an opportunity to rip people apart. You all should be ashamed.
Whatever happened to constructive feedback? Giving a new business a break while they work out the kinks and try and make it a better experience for the people who have comments for improvement.
I'm sure all of you people posting have jobs and feel you work hard for your money - and the next time you want to come onto a website like this and unload whatever pent up garbage you store in your soul - remember that karma's a bitch.
Let the snobs that want to go around criticizing and trying to destroy everything in the city that represents other people's hard work start their own blog. In other words, let them put in their own hard work and see how well they do.
1. Alimento
3. Big Smoke Burger
You can eat at the above places and be full for less than $11. If the sandwiches were cheaper at Cheesewerks (like $6-$7) then I'd be ok with eating there because to be fair, it was pretty tasty! But because these mini sandwiches go for $10 upwards, I won't be going back. And I live next door to the place.
We use the most expensive cheese and bread for our sandwiches. Best quality products for our valuable costumers. Those who complaint about the price are not our target market anyway. You cheap people deserve to eat crap and we are sorry for not selling crap.
The owner of Melt and all friends/relatives, need to stop spamming boards with their illiterate messages. You can actually see their missing teeth when you read the inane, obnoxious posts they spam the blogs with.
It is only because of their ongoing fake, pathetic posts that I will never eat at Melt.
Of course Sam is not the owner of CW, give me a break.
I found it strange that ketchup wasn't already out on the tables or served on the side with the sandwiches given that ketchup is practically a staple for most grilled cheese eaters. If you are going to specialize in something, you should get the details right and price yourself right. I wouldn't recommend this place.
For what I paid for and what I got is more than fair. Was very filling and had to ask them to wrap up the other half of my sandwich to go. They even ask me if I wanted another bag of chips - now that's what I call customer service.
To your point about ketchup being on the table need to disagree with you again.
Their sandwiches were delicious!!! I'll be there again over the weekend with my family.
Two days later I had to go to the place to try another, the L.A. I came with a party of 5. My bf had the Bejing (he is the pickiest eater and he loved it) the other 3 people did the Toronto with little Italy and Danforth. They loved theirs as well but they did comment they wished they ate the Italy half first cuz by the time they got to it the tomato had made it a tad soggy.
All the sandwiches came with homemade pickles and chips so it was a full meal. $7-$10 price range roughly.
Wish it was at a more convenient location, but I would total spend $10 a third time!! :)
I'm surprised about the negative comments, I suspect they haven't actually tried it. Don't knock it til ya try it! So yummy!
O AND I had the curry ketchup sooo yummy worth the $0.75!
I was so taken aback I had to ask the girl at the counter to break it down for me. I didn't realize a couple strips of bacon added $3, the fact I got it to go added another $0.75 fee plus the small soup is not available to go. At that point, it was too late to cancel so I left with my tail between my legs, feeling robbed.
When I got home (2 blocks away), I opened up the box to find the bottom half of my sandwich was completely soggy. The flavor was mediocre and the chips were stale. The 'large' soup I had to order was definitely not large but it was at least, tasty.
A very disappointing experience.
I have not tried this place yet but I just wanted to comment on the merciless cyber bullying that seems to have unfolded on this blog post.
I'm worried that I might not be getting a balanced opinion here, because anyone who has dared to give a positive review has received backlash and been attacked.
I agree that the prices seem high, but if the bread and cheese are good, I'm willing to try it. I can afford $10-12 bucks for lunch, personally.
I still don't see it lasting much longer. It cannot be making money...which is a shame. I ate there once...but spent $28 for my wife and I and left hungry. Sorry, but I don't patronize such places that take blatant advantage of you.
website needs a lot more attention. I'll probably be back again to
read more, thanks for the information!

|LEWISTON, Me. � Senior attack Henry Sheehan (Newport, R.I.) scored the game-winning goal with 1:11 left in regulation, capping a comeback from 8-4 down in the fourth quarter and sending Middlebury College to a 9-8 victory over Bates College in men�s lacrosse on Saturday.
