Richard Patrick is absolutely amped up about taking a new and improved Filter out on the road, and completely geeked about Anthems for the Damned, their new record. He is upbeat, passionate, extremely confident and pretty darn funny. Bullz-Eye found him trapped in a New York hotel room doing interviews and unable to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. As we scrambled with the tape recorder, Ricardo Patreeck is already midway through his response about the doldrums of back-to-back phone interviews.
Richard Patrick: It's exhausting. You get on the phone and talk about the same shit over and over and over and over, but I love my job. When you stack up these interviews one after another, it gets exhausting, but I get a little coffee (adds a thick New York style accent and pronounces the word caw-feeee) and I look around and I see that I'm in New York City in a beautiful hotel suite, and you make it good.
Bullz-Eye: It could be worse.
RP: (again with the New York accent) I got some caw-feeeee!!!
BE: (laughs): I will try to ask you some different questions so it doesn't seem so boring.
RP: Okay.
BE: Before we get into the new record, I wanted to ask you about the Damning Well [a short-lived project that featured Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit, Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails and Josh Freese of the Vandals, Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle]. I have read that there is an album's worth of material. Is that true?
RP: (adopting English accent) That is completely and utterly false. (back to his regular voice) We were thinking about maybe doing a band. Wes Borland had a ton of music and we did one…no actually, two songs. We did two songs with the Damning Well and one song had Amy Lee [Evanescence] singing with me, and it's amazing. I actually have a copy of that and like to listen to it once in a while. It came out as "Coward" on Wes Borland's Black Light Burns CD. I'll tell you what; Josh Freese plays drums on my record, mmm hmmm.
BE: Freese is an amazing drummer. You've worked with Wes and John (5) and Josh, but how did you get them to work on the new Filter record?
RP: After I left Army of Anyone, I said I am going to go do [another Filter record], I called John 5 immediately. I even called [long time Filter collaborator] Ben Grosse and said "Ben, I'm thinking about doing another record." He asked who was going to do guitars. I said, "John 5." He said, "All right." So I called John 5 and he wrote two songs with me. He's amazing. He did "The Take" and "What's Next." So around June-ish, July-ish, I was meeting with Josh Abraham and he said, "Let's do a record, but are you still signed to Warner Brothers?" And I was like, "NOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOO!!!!" When he heard that he said that we will be amazing and we'll own it. Once we figured out the details of the deal and stuff like that, I just jumped in the studio. Plus, I had done all this stuff on my own, so we got the record done in, like, 14 days. It was great.
BE: You had material lying around, and you wrote the two tracks with John 5, but you wrote, recorded and produced a record in 14 days?
RP: I also wrote "Lie After Lie" but everything else was kind of there. Some of it was from 2003. I was thinking, well, this song won't mean anything when the war is over in 2004, 2006, and then it's still relevant today. Josh suggested it be the first single because he felt it was so beautiful and so elegant. We did it and it's marching up the charts.
BE: So how do you go from having John 5, Freese and Borland help you in the studio to the band you have now out on the road [Mitchell Marlow on guitar, John Spiker on bass and Mika Fineo on drums]?
RP: Well, by being the main dude in Filter, I can kind of do what I want. That's the benefit. It's something I realized immediately after I left Army of Anyone, is that every single detail, item can be answered very simply and quickly by me. When it came time to choose the live band, I just went with who is extremely talented and who is dying to go out. When people hear the name Filter, they feel that the name is a credible one, a credible band. So, I grabbed Mitchell Marlow and John Spiker and Mika Fineo and most of those guys came from my manager, Josh Abraham. He has a huge database of people who are talented and waiting for their shot, waiting to get out. These guys are so talented; they are going to go beyond just being in the live band. Spiker is a bass player and singer, but he is also a Pro Tools guy and an engineer. Fineo is a piano player and a composer, not just a drummer. Marlow is an amazing producer, so all these guys will contribute. When it's time, and I say "Let's make a Filter record," we can get it done quickly.
BE: Everything that I have read indicates that you plan on being Filter for a while.
RP: I do. Dude, if you could see the look on people's faces when I leave the stage. We do these radio festivals and they're [the audience] kind of like, okay, it's Filter; there are some new faces, what's up? Thirty minutes later, they're like, (in hysterical voice), "Fuck! Oh my God! Awesome! The guitar, fuck, this is awesome!" They are literally converted, and it's beautiful and amazing. They are absolutely convinced, and I love it. Halfway through the show every time, I say, "Filter's back, right?!" The audience is just fucking ecstatic and amazed and happy. It's wonderful. It's about re-educating people to the fact of who we were, who we are and what we are about to do.
BE: So when you move forward and you make the next Filter record, will these three guys be involved?
RP: Oh yeah, absolutely. I think these guys are super-talented. I think that they have a lot of stuff going on, and I would like to put a Filter record out quickly. When you have three other dudes and include Josh and Ryan, there are all these other people that can help. All the great bands have producers and other people that help them keep going, so you have to take advantage of those talents. You can't be afraid of those things. These guys have been in Filter for six months and they're like, "Fuck this, let's fuckin' rock! Let's fuckin' have a blast." Actually, they've only been in the band four months and they're like, "I want everything you have, Rich. I want a Gold record, I want a Platinum record." They are hungry as shit. Songwriting is a wonderful thing. When it clicks, it's awesome and you just feel it and it's an addiction. I want to be there when they experience that. You put a couple of chords together and you throw a melody on top and it makes everybody happy. Once you get that going, like when I wrote "Take a Picture," everyone looked around and was like, "Yep!" That sense of accomplishment, like I wrote that…when we play "Take a Picture" and "Hey Man, Nice Shot," those are the last two songs we play, and it is an amazing, powerful thing when you have hits under your belt. They want that, and I want them to have it. Fuck yes!
BE: Is it ever a curse when you go out to do a show and you want people to give the new material a chance and maybe they only think of "Hey Man, Nice Shot" or "Take A Picture?"
RP: I don't know. There has been such a great response to the record. You can sit around and think about that shit all the time. When I listen to the new record, and I hear "Cold" or "Kill the Day" or "Soldiers of Misfortune," and I think about the sentiment behind the songs, I am extremely proud. I can't worry about a fickle audience. I have to pound out new stuff and believe in it and love it because it's true in my heart. Bono once said, "You have to blow your own minds." You just can't release records and cash in. That's what I want to do, I want to blow my own mind. When I heard "Soldiers of Misfortune," the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and that, in my opinion, is the sign of a hit. It emotionally took me someplace.
BE: I am particularly fond of "Kill the Day" and "I Keep Flowers Around."
RP: Thank you. Those are at the back of the record. I am kind of demanding that people listen to the whole thing, they need to buy the whole record to find these tracks, not just grab a couple of songs. That's what Filter is for people, a slow burn. I think (Anthems) is a great record. I wanted it to be a deep record. I wanted 12 tracks that people could understand, and is deep. I want it to be like a movie, a start and a finish and you go through a lot of emotional things. If I gave you 10 "Hey Man, Nice Shots," I think you'd be bummed. (in a loud voice) "Check it out Martha, he's screaming again." I want you to have "Take a Picture" on the same record, I want you to have different stuff. I even went on an ambient trip at the end of the record because I like that shit. I think my audience is an eclectic audience like me. My audience wants heavy shit like Down or Pantera, but they also love Radiohead. If I can sing like a school kid, clean and soft and then scream with the best of 'em, why not have both of those modes show up on a Filter record? That has been something we have always been criticized for. I think it is one of our strongest attributes.
BE: That's the sad thing about audiences today, they're the iTunes generation, they want that one track, they don't dive into entire records anymore.
RP: (in British accent) I say! I agree, but at the same time, I can't afford to only make records every five years. That is why I am so excited to have my new guys around.
BE: It really sounds like you are re-invigorated and you have some really hungry guys with you.
RP: They are also sweet and very decent people, and they live very healthy lives. They are very stable people. It is very nice to have this very cream-of-the-crop talent and useful people around. They are very good people. You get on a tour bus and there's no griping. The only griping is from me, and that's because I have been around the block a couple of times. And it's kind of sad, I mean I better loosen up or it's gonna be a long tour if I'm the only one bitching. That is the beauty of having this band. I mean, you got a show at 2:00, you get there at noon, there's one shower and 50 in the crew, and they're like, okay. And I'm like, Fuck that! I want a hotel room and I want this and I want that. It is so refreshing to be around people who are like, Who cares? All I know is I get to be on stage and fucking rock out!
The other thing is that they really love Filter, and they really love playing the old stuff. That's important, because that's a legacy and a huge collection of songs. We did this acoustic thing, and I didn't know how the hell it was gonna work out. Mitch and John Spiker worked it out on acoustic, and it was so beautiful. I would have never thought to transpose it like that, the way they did it. "Check this out Rich, what about these chords?" That was even a weirder and cooler way to do it. We did "Welcome to the Fold" acoustic, they did "The Take" acoustic. They don't care, they're like, "Dude, we will make it awesome. The songs are well written so we can make them awesome." It is really good for me spiritually, considering I was living at the bottom of the bottle at the height of my career. I was so bothered by having to actually sing because it was getting in the way of my beer buzz. Now, here I am at the age of 40 getting on stage and just enjoying so much of it. It makes it so worth it; it is just exciting being right here and right now.
BE: Richard, I want to ask a few more things, and I appreciate your time and that coffee for getting you through this…
RP: (back to New York accent) Ya gotta have CAWWWW-FEEEE!!!!!
BE: Filter has never been lollipops and balloons, but this record is particularly dark because you're taking a look around at the world and you're not particularly thrilled with what you see. Is this the one political record that you put out and then you go back and do different stuff, or is this where fatherhood and your life has led you, to put out this kind of album?
RP: I am horrified at the way things are going. I can't believe the Bush administration has made this many mistakes. I see a man like Al Gore and that's my hero. I have always loved Carl Sagan. He had a special episode of "Cosmos" in 1977 and he's like, "Who speaks for the earth?" Even when I was a little kid, I thought about this stuff. I would say, So this car uses gas and oil and (Jimmy) Carter just said gas is going to be expensive and we shouldn't use cars so much. Then there is the oil embargo and the Arabs have all the oil. Then there's the tailpipe and it puts out all these pollutants, and that can't be good, either. Why are we driving all the cars all over the place, and wouldn't it be better if we invented something that didn't run on this stuff. So even as a child, I would question these things and ask, what's up? In the '90s I wondered, why is everyone driving an SUV, and the thing is, humans are kind of stupid. You have to kind of remind your fellow man, Hey is this right? Are we doing the right thing? Even in the '90s with my "Take a Picture" money, I went and bought a small car. Granted, it was a (BMW) 330xi, but it was smaller. It wasn't an SUV. I wrote a song called "Cancer." Have you ever flown over Los Angeles? Have you ever flown into LAX? When you fly into LAX and you look down, the earth looks cut up and in pain. Not only that, but there is a fucking smog cloud that you can literally see around the disgusting air. THAT CAN'T BE GOOD!
I have been talking about this stuff for years and people have been talking about this shit for years. I know Britney Spears has a lot of great things to say, and that's why people buy her records, and hip-hop has so many interesting things to say about their ego platforms and how much money they have and whatnot, but I'm thinking maybe there is a crowd out there that wants to rock and wants to hear music that [asks], Fucking why? Why are our children getting whaled on? Why are we sending our children to die in Iraq? Look at my video (for "Anthems of the Damned") and the American flag gets covered in oil, it just consumes it. How much more fucking on it can I be as far as criticizing what we're doing? As long as I'm creating the conversation I don't care. You can hate Filter's videos… (breaks into Daniel Day-Lewis from "There Will Be Blood") "Ladies and gentleman, when I say I'm an oil man, I think you'll agree that my son and partner H.W. and I run a family business." It's fucking oil, man! You could take a hundred billion dollars and build a solar farm in the middle of Mojave Desert and then you could get 40 percent of the country's energy from that. Did you know that? Did you…
(At this point, the line goes dead. A while later, after taking a shower, Richard calls back.)
BE: I was listening to the first Filter record and then I listened to Anthems, and I believe this is the best vocal performance of your career. Your vocals have really matured between these two points. Has this been a conscious effort on your part?
RP: Yeah. After Short Bus went platinum, I decided it was now time to sing. It was time to unleash what I was capable of. I was really intimidated by having to sing originally, and it is something I still grapple with. These kids on "American Idol," by having to get up there and sing and literally be weeded out in front of a live audience, I have a lot of respect for that. I have a buddy, Ryan Star, who was put through the same kind of thing, and I'm just like, My Lord. I have had all sorts of things to help me; you're platinum, relax. So I did, I took that as kind of an encouraging thing to like finally chill out on myself, because I am my own worst critic. The other thing that really fucked with me is drug addiction and alcohol. That fucked me up on The Amalgamut. I was not able to sing "Where Do We Go from Here" live. It is incredibly high, and I couldn't sing it. In the last five years in being sober and quitting smoking and going to vocal coaches, that really put it into overdrive. But it is something I have always grappled with. I consider myself a guitar player. I do work hard at it, and there is something incredible about singing. I did it out of necessity. On Short Bus, I was like, "I don't know anybody else, so I'll do it." It was definitely done with that kind of attitude.
BE: I wanted to ask you briefly about Trent (Reznor) and Nine Inch Nails and there are some real interesting parallels. Trent is Nine Inch Nails, Richard is Filter. Josh Freese has worked with Nine Inch Nails and has worked with Filter.
RP: When we were starting out in Nine Inch Nails, it was my job to remind him that we were heavy, that we were dark. He came in and I heard songs like (sings), "Well you got me working so hard, baby." And I was the little voice in his ear that would say, "'Head like a Hole' is the fucking song man." That was where I was at in Nine Inch Nails. I was a never-ending nagging voice of darkness. He even said so on Broken, which was really like a Ministry record and he even listed me as an influence. So looking back on it, it was definitely amazing to be part of this Nine Inch Nails huge phenomenon thing. At the same time, it was incredibly alcoholic. Trent was drinking 24 hours a day; I was drinking 24 hours a day. It was a lot of excess, a lot of drugs and a lot of craziness, and that complicated things. And then I said, "I got this song, 'Hey Man, Nice Shot,' what do you think?" He said, "Maybe, I don't know, release it, I'm not sure." He really didn't show any interest. So I wondered what Warner Brothers would think. Warner Brothers was like, You can have a million dollars and go live your life in comfort. So, how do you like that?
I thought it would just probably be a hit. He couldn't picture me having an impact on the music world, so I split and it was a little weird at the time, but we were 20-something and then there was a lot of booze, and that complicated our relationship quite a bit. Looking back on it, I am definitely proud of it. I was the guitar player called "Piggy" and it was my job to be a crazed lunatic. I would get on stage and throw beer at the audience. I would spit beer on the audience, Trent would fucking tackle me onstage. I was in the band for three years and it was a great experience, and no one can take that away from me. The fact that I'm not really mentioned in any of that is interesting, but at the same time I don't really care because Filter is my legacy. I have had great success and I am very proud of my track record.
BE: Does being a parent have any effect on what you are writing?
RP: I'm trying to make my world a better place. When my daughter is 10 years old and she starts asking questions like what we were talking about earlier, I want her to have answers. I want her to know that I tried, that I am doing the best I can. Whether it's through lyrics or a conversation or it's pissing people off, I want her to know that I did something that tried to make her world a better place.
BE: Thank you so much for your time and I sincerely wish you nothing but success with the lifestyle change, the new record and I look forward to more Filter in the future. Best of luck.
RP: Thanks Robert, thanks so much.

Trying to use Mathematica as "word processor" for my math homework
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg44293] Trying to use Mathematica as "word processor" for my math homework
- From: Bob Harris <nitlion at mindspring.com>
- Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 03:24:26 -0500 (EST)
- Sender: owner-wri-mathgroup at wolfram.com
Howdy, I have recently returned to grad school, and am attempting to use mathematica as my "word processor" for my math-related homework. There are a few annoying things that keep happening to my attempts at this, and I thought I'd describe them here in hopes that someone would have some better suggestions. For an example of what I've been doing, see http://www.cse.psu.edu/~rsharris/spamlog/ExampleHW.nb My motivations are (a) it will give me a clean output that will be easier on the grader's eyes, (b) it will make it easier for me to edit changes to equations, etc., and (c) I can include mathematica-generated plots and import drawings from other packages. I've been doing this with some success from the beginning of the fall semester. I'm not incredibly sophistocated with mathematica, but have managed to do this using only InputForm and StandardForm cells (i.e. I have set the cells to DisplayAs one of those two forms, depending on whether the cell contains running text or equations). This sort of works, but there are many shortcomings: 1) Mathematica likes to auto format things, so it is difficult for me to get things to line up the way I want them to. This has made the inclusion of mathematical symbology in my running text difficult. I think I have discovered that displaying a cell as Text rather than InputForm is better, but haven't tried it much yet. 2) In many cases when I include a plot, or an imported drawing, when I print out the notebook I get an unnecessary page feed before and/or after the plot/drawing. 3) Font sizes on the printout don't seem to correlate with font sizes on the screen. The default size of 12 pt is fine to read on the screen, but is too small on the printed page. Very surprisingly, it is not as large on paper as wehen I use 12 pt fonts in other programs. 4) Trying to set font sizes on things seems like a nightmare of hard to comprehend results. E.g. slecting a cell and setting the font size many times seems to have no effect whatsoever. 5) ... others ... I've also looked at style sheets a little bit. Like I said, I'm not very mathematica-sophistocated, and am trying to find a fairly quick solution that I can implement without having to dig *too* deep (am willing to dig some, but don't really have the time with my current class and teaching load to spend a lot of time with this). It seems like what I'm after is the same sort of set up that someone writing a paper for publicatiojn would need. Have looked for such examples, but have not found any. Thanks for any help or suggestions, Bob Harris

Saying he "wants to shape the future" of the advisor industry, Ron Carson, CEO of the advisory firm Carson Wealth Management and founder of Peak Advisor Alliance, announced today the formation of Carson Institutional Advisory (CIA), an "alliance" of "growth-minded advisors." Members will receive access to Carson Wealth's research and five model investment portfolios, a co-branded iPad app for advisors to use with clients, and marketing assistance, including lead generation.
While Carson (left) said in an interview Friday that CIA has already formed partnerships with TD Ameritrade Institutional, Envestnet and LPL Financial—CIA prefers that its advisors work with those firms—he said they could also work with other custodians.
Designed for "growth-minded advisors," particularly hybrid advisors, CIA is meant to help advisory firm owners "unload tremendous expense off their middle and front offices." The advisors maintain their own client relationships, firm names and own RIAs, should they so choose.
Moreover, Carson says that with no upfront costs and without a "long-term commitment" from those firms, allying themselves with CIA will be "cash-flow positive"—even considering that CIA will take an ongoing basis point cut on the firms' managed assets.
"We're cutting 100 bps" off their investment management costs, Carson estimates.
"Fees are such an issue" for advisors and their clients, Carson says, so if "you lower the costs clients pay for money management," CIA advisors would see their revenue rise even if they "give back half of their savings to clients."
The marketing assistance will include public relations support in addition to lead generation, with CIA getting involved to the point of helping advisors with their RFPs. CIA members would have access to Carson Wealth's unbiased research—"Wall Street has fabulous research but they use it to their own benefit; bringing people to slaughter," he says, with a reference to his own upbringing on a farm—and advisors (and their clients) will be able to dial in to Carson Wealth's daily morning meetings.
There is one catch, however. CIA advisors will have to adhere to a client bill of rights that requires proof of a formal succession plan. CIA can "monetize" advisors by buying their firms if they choose, Carson says. "It's your choice. But if you're ready to sell, we'll buy your business" after a minimum of two years participation in CIA.
Carson said he thinks it would "be natural" for many of Peak Alliance's more than 1,000 members to "migrate" to CIA, and that many have already expressed interest in doing so.

All-Star Locke quietly opening doors to success
Pirates left-hander named to National League squad in first full big league season
To Jeff Locke's left in the Pirates' clubhouse sits A.J. Burnett, the grizzled veteran standing at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, with some intimidating ink covering his arms. To his right, there's Gerrit Cole, the team's top prospect, whose fastball can graze 100 mph. He's of similar stature to Burnett.
In between those two lockers stands Locke, a 6-foot, 185-pound lefty who would likely still get carded trying to buy beer. He may not look like a prototypical pitcher -- say, a Burnett or Cole --- but Locke has been one of Pittsburgh's most reliable arms in 2013, bringing a humble and quiet confidence to the mound in his first full big league season.
The Pirates' rotation, however, has taken some hits throughout the year with injuries to Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez and James McDonald. The man who's been around through all that? Locke, with his 8-2 record, 2.15 ERA and, at one point, a 16-start unbeaten streak.
"This isn't something that was expected by probably anybody else except me and my teammates," said Locke, a North Conway, N.H., native and one of four active MLB players from the state. "I set my goals high. I just want to be consistent and be reliable. Just someone the team can look forward to having on the mound every fifth day."
The lefty tossed another gem Monday, allowing just three hits and two runs over seven innings, but the Pirates couldn't muster much offensively. Locke took his first loss since his first start of the season on April 7.
One thing that sticks out to Pirates manager Clint Hurdle is the 25-year-old's ability to control the inside part of the plate with his fastball. Even though Locke's heater doesn't eclipse 93 mph, he's got the confidence and trust in himself to attack the inner edge, somewhat of a lost art.
"So far, it's paid off and it's worked," said Locke, a second-round pick by the Braves in 2006. "But you have to mix it up."
Mixing it up will be critical for Locke throughout the second half of the season. After all, many of the teams he's faced were seeing him for only the first or second time. Locke locates well, another key to success, using a four-seamer, two-seamer, changeup and knuckle curve.
Of course, Locke is not perfect. Acquired from Atlanta in 2009 in a deal for Nate McLouth, he has allowed 47 walks to 73 strikeouts this year. The lefty said he's often careful with certain hitters because he'd rather allow a walk when he's behind in the count than get tagged for an extra-base hit. There's still plenty to work on.
McDonald enjoyed similar first-half success last season. Although he had already spent a few years in the big leagues, the right-hander went 9-3 with a 2.37 ERA and a .196 opponents batting average before the All-Star break last season.
After the break, McDonald had a 7.52 ERA and opponents batted .292 with a .940 OPS against him. He doesn't have much advice for Locke other than to keep doing what he's been doing.
McDonald recalled two fans bashing the Pirates on Twitter before the season for giving Locke a chance in the rotation. McDonald jumped to his teammate's defense, telling them to just wait and see.
Locke just wanted to make the team out of Spring Training, just to be in Pittsburgh, because no matter what his role was, Locke felt he could contribute. And he has, silencing some critics.
"It shows [that with] a little confidence in a guy, if you believe in him, they take off to the next level," McDonald said. "[The coaches] believed in Locke, and I think that's sparked a confidence in himself."
Locke isn't complacent, though. The lefty said he'll continue to pitch like a fifth starter in the sense that he knows he can be replaced at any time if things go south.
But Locke's expectations of himself have increased. He's had the confidence and skill set to succeed, but getting a taste of that turns goals into demands. He's allowed two runs or fewer in 13 of 18 starts this year, and he has given up no more than three runs in a start since April 18, when he allowed four.
"I never dreamed of going seven shutout innings until it happened this year. But now it's expected from myself," Locke said. "Once I can do it one time, I know I can do it again. The next goal is to go out there and throw eight, then nine [scoreless innings]."
Hurdle has always seen this conviction and confidence from the lefty, but is nonetheless proud of the way Locke has taken every lesson --- every jam, hung breaking ball, fortunate bounce, win, loss or no-decision -- and used it to get better.
"I do think he's had more of an earning mentality," Hurdle said. "He's felt he's got the skills. He's been a very confident guy for me, under the radar. He's backed that up with performance."
Where does all this confidence -- from a guy with 51 Major League innings under his belt before this season -- come from? Catcher Russell Martin saw it from Day 1 of Spring Training.
Martin pointed to Locke when explaining how simple or challenging it can be to call a game for a pitcher who doesn't have much experience. If a young pitcher hasn't figured himself out yet, it's difficult for a catcher.
"Locke has a great feel for what he wants to do out there," Martin said. "We had some good talks in Spring Training on what he likes to do. I got confidence in what he wanted to do because he had an idea of what he wanted to do."
Martin has helped Locke and the rest of the Pirates' staff become one of baseball's best. The club leads the Majors in ERA (3.09), opponents' batting average (.225) and opponents' OPS (.644).
Locke is far from the lone surprise, though. Liriano, closer Jason Grilli, setup man Mark Melancon, Justin Wilson and Jeanmar Gomez, among others, have exceeded expectations.
But it's hard to argue against Locke as the club's biggest shock. He's an All-Star in his first full season. And although he may not get to pitch at Citi Field on Tuesday because he's scheduled to start Sunday against the Mets at PNC Park, being honored is enough for him.
"I'd like to go and play catch with some of those guys," Locke said. "That's about it."

A couple of years ago fashion designer Raf Simons released two technical running sneakers, a low top and a high top, which at the time were produced in collaboration with Asics.
For Fall/Winter 2012 the sneakers return, but the line-up became much bigger. We cannot confirm that these are once again Asics productions, but they look so similar to the previous ones that it would make sense. The color palette for the Fall/Winter 2012 sneakers is very strong, with a lot of muted colors and metallics in the range, while keeping an overall very subtle look. The low top sneaker comes in overall 8 colors and the high top in 6.
Look out for these new running sneakers by Raf Simons to arrive at retailers this month.

Interview with Bethenny Frankel
Interview With Bethenny Frankel: Housewife's Baby Talk
Catfights, cocktails and creme de la creme guest lists are de rigueur on Bravo's hit Real Housewives of New York, where the cast spends much of their time decorating their homes, attending social events, and gossiping behind each other's backs. So how will the standout star, Bethenny Frankel, known for her witty zingers and Skinny Girl margaritas handle motherhood? With a mellow attitude and some perspective.
The mama-to-be who's due in June is keeping busy promoting the current season of Housewives, filming her own new series, Bethenny's Getting Married about her wedding to the babe's daddy, Jason Hobby, and penning her third book, A Place of Yes. The reality star chatted with me via phone yesterday as she was being prepped for a photo shoot.
BabySugar: Tell us about the pregnancy – were you surprised?
Bethenny: I was totally, completely surprised. It was generally something I was open to, but I wasn't doing handstands and taking my temperature. I was just not being careful because I thought it would take a very long time because of my age. So yes, it was definitely like "Holy S**t".
BabySugar: How's the nursery coming along?
Bethenny: It isn't. We haven't done anything yet. We have to get to that in the next couple of weeks after we have the wedding. I like the catalog at Restoration Hardware, I like their style and the way they do it. Not so jungle-y. I think it will be much more conservative and nice. Not over the top with like clouds and hippopotamuses.
BabySugar: Should we expect to see a parenting book out of you like your costars Alex and Simon?
Bethenny: That will be years to come. It's so hard to be a parent to a thing that doesn't do anything yet.
To see Bethenny's take on parenting and if the baby will call any Housewives "Auntie," just read more.
BabySugar: Will you heed their (Simon and Alex) parenting advice?
Bethenny: Oh me, no? I don't believe in really taking advice for that stuff. I don't really know anybody that is doing the job perfectly. I think you should use your instincts and no two situations are the same. My life is completely different than theirs and my job is different than theirs and I think you kind of have to go with what's going on in your own house.
BabySugar: Will any of your costars serve as "aunties" to your baby?
Bethenny: [Pause.] Uh . . . no. Housewives has been a good experience and I've made some friends, people that I'm friendly with, but it's been a career move. My friend who said I have rotten eggs has been my friend for over 20 years and that's the situation with most of my friends. You'll see them all on my own show Bethenny's Getting Married, which I am shooting right now.
BabySugar: Can we expect a postpartum PETA shoot like the one you did last year?
Bethenny: I don't know if I need to be looking for reasons to be naked. It was a really nice offer, and I loved it, but I think that would be a little overkill.
BabySugar: Has pregnancy tamed you?
Bethenny: I think in some ways it's mellowed me a little bit. Like I was at an event with every single Housewife there last night, and I was sort of giggling at it and taking it a little more lightly. It's put things into perspective.
BabySugar: Will you be a free range mom or a helicopter one?
Bethenny: What? I don't even know what a placenta is. (After an explanation) Free range! For sure!

What Investors Want from a Business Plan
1. Experienced team
I want people who have done startups before. They tend to know what they're doing and where they're going much better once they've been through that process. I don't mind that much if they weren't the leader before, and not even that the previous startups failed. I'd like them to know the territory because it reduces risk.
I like a team more than a single entrepreneur. Building a business takes different skills, so ideally a team has people with diverse experience around different functions of the business: Sales, marketing, administration, and so forth.
2. Believable exits
There's some irony here because we built our business without caring a bit about exits, but when I think like an investor, I want to know that the money I invest is going to generate money coming out of the company, going back into my bank account, later.
So it's not just a matter of having a good business. It's a good business that will grow well and become a business that gets acquired by a larger business in 3-5 years. A lot of good businesses will never be interesting to an acquirer. Is it scalable? Is it defensible? These things make huge differences. It's surprising to me how many people think they can get investors interested in a people-based service business, for which the assets walk out the door every night. Products are much better for exit than services.
3. Real growth prospects
The key to investment success is making the business worth a lot more later than what it's worth today. That takes growth. And growth is a matter of scalability and defensibility, which I included above under exits, plus the size of the market, the nature of the need, and so forth.
4. Real planning
Like many investors, I can rule out some companies just from reading a summary memo or watching a pitch presentation. But if I'm still interested after hearing the pitch and reading the summary, then I want to see a plan. Pitches without plans are obvious because they don't have the potential to drill down into the granularity when questions come up. And of course, I like a plan that is easy to decipher and well written, but what I really look for is the pieces coming together. I want to see the conceptual links between product, marketing, sales, and financial plans. Are they aligned with each other? Do they indicate understanding the keys to success? Does this look like a plan that will be managed, that can be reviewed and revised, and will remain flexible? Or is this a plan that was done once and then forgotten? I want to see planning and management, not just a plan.
A final thought
None of this is completely predictable. Good investments will sometimes appear that don't have all of the characteristics I've listed here. Still, all things being equal, this is a good filter to start with.

The Uruguayan, who will come face to face with his former team-mates when the Nerazzurri take on the Romanians in the Europa League on Thursday, says he cannot wait for the game
Alvaro Pereira says he has "fond memories" of his time at Cluj and is relishing the opportunity to face his former club when his side Inter meet them in the last 32 of the Europa League on Thursday.
The 27-year-old joined the Romanian outfit in the summer of 2008 before being snapped up by Porto a year later.
Pereira has yet to cement his place in the first team since signing for Inter last summer, but is hoping to play some part in the "special" encounter.
"I remember everything from that experience," Pereira told reporters ahead of the game.
"It was my first European team and I will always have fond memories of them. I left behind team-mates and friends in Romania, so it will be a very special game for me tomorrow."
Pereira insists he has adapted to life at San Siro and is willing to contribute as and how coach Andrea Stramaccioni wishes.
He added: "The important thing is to work for the team and do it in the best way possible.
"The system is not a problem for me as I have played with a three-man defence for Uruguay and have the characteristics to play in a 4-3-3 too."

Goblin, 3m 12sec
Tyler, the Creator
Left Brain, Wolf Haley
Golf Wang, Free Earl, uh
Goddamn I love women
Daydream about penis being in 'em
Meet them with a big grin with a Mac-10
Rope, katana, and then I skin 'em
All beige suit made out of white women
With the red lipstick dancing to John Lennon
With the red sweater jeans made out of blue denim
They can catch me in the spot where the sun don't shine
Bitch don't mind me, shake your hiney
The only motherfucking Wolf here, I spit venom
You're a bad bitch with a real good kitten
And I got the appetite of them fat black women
Wolf Gang in this bitch with a bunch of rats with 'em
Lookin' like the holocaust with Supreme hats with 'em
I am tryna get Ms. Piggy by the motherfucking hairs of her chinny chin chin
Um, what's that? The cock of a black dude
Mad 'cause his daughter got the swag of a vacuum (Aww, fuck it)
I'll take her to the back room, dungeon, fighting and punching
And now the slut is under the fucking assumption
That I will be fucking and munching her muffin
Cum will be bleeding but that's not from the time signature of the month, um
It's because, I'm Dracula bitch
Don't got a problem smacking a bitch
Kidnapping, attacking, with axes and shit
'til I grab them throats and start smacking them shits
It's because, I'm Dracula bitch
Don't got a problem smacking a bitch
Kidnapping, attacking, with axes and shit
'til she decides to take Dracula's dick
Goddamn I love bitches
Especially when they only suck dick and wash dishes
Cooking, cleaning, grant my wishes
Make me and the Wolf Gang Sandwitches
Transylvania crypt let's take a, tour
Bitch try getting through that black trap, door
Keep yelling and working them vocal chords
And that'll be more of a reason that you'll get slapped up, for
Is that four trunks comfy? (Fuck you!) Fuck me? No, fuck Buffy
That little bitch keeps trying to hump me
Jumping over gates what the fuck she want from me?
She keeps sending me garlic
How many times I gotta tell her I'm allergic
(I like your cape) Oh this Bathing Ape cape?
Bitch I got it for a bargain at the neighborhood Target
Fangs are sharp and I hope you know
That all I really want from you is that throat
I can't eat pussy 'cause I might leave cuts
Then there's blood on my sheets, but that might be a plus
On the channel a fucking animal, leaking like pairs of candles
Bitches ain't hard to handle, I don't want a bride I just want bone marrow
Bite her in her fucking neck, bite her in her fucking neck
Bottom of the fucking lake, bottom of the fucking lake
Call my gang of wolves and bats, call my gang of wolves and bats
It's a full moon tonight and these hoes ain't acting right
It's because I'm Dracula bitch, swag, swag, swag
It's because, Left Brain, Wolf Haley, Free Earl, Golf Wang

Princeton Fire Chief David F. Cobb — the town's first full-time fire chief and its fire department's only full-time employee — was arraigned this morning on two drug charges in Worcester District Court for allegedly stealing narcotics from the town's ambulance.
Chief Cobb, 45, of 100 Cutler Rd., in the Jefferson section of Holden, was arraigned on one count of larceny of a drug, and one count of obtaining drugs by fraud. He was released on personal recognizance, and scheduled to return to court on Dec. 3.
The investigation into Chief Cobb's alleged theft began earlier this year, when pharmacists at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, and Heywood Hospital in Gardner notified state police that "excessive amounts of narcotics were being dispensed to the Princeton Fire Department," according to a state police report included in court records.
State Police conducted an audit of the narcotics being dispensed to the Princeton Fire Department, and found that varying amounts of Fentanyl, morphine, valium and versed were unaccounted for. Chief Cobb was the primary record keeper of narcotics for the Princeton Fire Department and had signed out the drugs that were dispensed from the two hospitals, the report said.
"He is responsible for replenishing new stock," the report said. There were numerous "questionable" log notes that indicated that narcotics were picked up, but that they were "wasted." There were no corresponding log entries about how the drugs were wasted, the report said. In several instances, the narcotics count for the Princeton ambulance was changed without explanation, the report noted.
According to the police report, the fraud occurred on or about May 31 of this year. State police attempted to interview Mr. Cobb "with negative results," the report said.
State Trooper Brenda Watts wrote that a photo of Chief Cobb, and a photo of another man, were shown to pharmacy employees at the two hospitals. Three of the employees, two at St. Vincent Hospital and one at Heywood Hospital, identified Mr. Cobb as the man to whom they dispensed the narcotics. Three other employees could not identify Chief Cobb.
Chief Cobb, who selectmen placed on paid administrative leave in July, had been appointed the town's first full-time fire chief in January, according to Town Administrator John Lebeaux. The town had been notified by the police of the investigation into Chief Cobb's alleged theft in June, he said.
Chief Cobb had previously served as a full-time firefighter/paramedic for the town of Holden, and had been a part-time lieutenant and firefighter in Princeton. Besides the chief, the town's firefighters are part-time, on-call firefighters, Mr. Lebeaux said.
"I'm continuing the discussion with selectmen about how the town will proceed," Mr. Lebeaux said today. When Chief Cobb was placed on administrative leave, John Bennett was promoted to acting fire chief, he said.
Attempts to reach Chief Cobb, and his Worcester-based attorney, John Vigliotti, were unsuccessful today.

SAN JOSE — One person died and at least two people were injured during a multi-vehicle crash Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 101 in South San Jose, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Emergency crews were called just before 2 a.m. to southbound Highway 101 just north of Blossom Hill Road in San Jose for a report of a crash involving at least four vehicles and major injuries, Officer Eric Anderson said.
At least one person suffered fatal injuries and two other people were transported to local hospitals to be treated for unknown injuries, Anderson said. Their identities were not immediately disclosed.
Officers shut down all lanes of Highway 101, which was reopened to traffic at 4:35 a.m., Anderson said.
