In March, acclaimed Baltimore-based writer and producer David Simon (The Wire) started She Poses for Moses, Erroneously (with apologies to Mr. Kelly and Mr. O'Conner) – the first continuing story in our Renoir Returns story challenge. Now we return to the beginning of that tale, to see how it unfolded. Below, read the story as it played out from the beginning, with thanks to the multiple authors who contributed to it.
By David Simon
Nine months of loose-fitting robes and girlish misdirection were coming to a head, right here, at the low tide of morning.
"Hey," said the princess to the most trusted handmaiden, "what's that over by those white flowers."
"It looks like a basket," said her servant, dry as dirt.
"I wonder what's in it?"
An infant's cry answered, as if in reply. Or, maybe, that was laughter.
By Peter O'Connor
The bulrushes rustled; the maiden tiptoed closer.
Newborns lay mewing, their eyes shut.
"Wolves!" she gasped.
The princess paused from washing off the mud to pull back the rushes.
"Coyotes," she corrected, "My brother was raised by wolves. I recognize a coyote cry from a wolf any day."
The handmaiden whispered, as to not startle, "Remember, a pirate wears a sombrero and does not lose his glasses. A man's heart will pine until one gives him a swift kick in the ass to find his heart's true deseo." Her astronomy with animal totem beliefs became a quilt for Frida Kahlo's memory.
By Ken James Guessen
Mauve shadows paint their faces.
Monet tells of her last days. Renoir interrupts. Degas squints, listening to the memory as if it were his own.
"Relax your arms like a ballerina."
She's goes under. He dives, surfaces.
Tracing the rope to her waist, he lifts.
She arrives coughing, choking.
"A…line! You must learn to swim."
"Get this off me!"
"La corda salvato la vita."
"The rope was just long enough to hang me."
The next morning he taps his razor. His reflection, an echo, his eyes reminiscing.
"I punched a hole in the wall," he tells her.
Laughter erupts. Monet leaves abruptly.
By Jan Ryan
He stares down at the shore. He saved her, hoisted the carcass from the depths. The fabulous creature laughed at him, at all of them. The rest laughed too as if they understood erasure by water, mockingly floating a bubble up to the distant vague ship. How could she prefer to be hidden/lost/gone from them? Were we imbued to crave beauty only to deprive us… was creation not our assigned mission? Could one greedy, selfish lover, an ocean, incinerator, fireplace or thief be allowed to kidnap her?
By Jan Ryan
These kleptomaniacs would steal candles from a church. He pointed and she pocketed. With the ruckus behind the plants (Remus and Romulus basket kidnapping) you may wonder how anyone witnessed anything but I had a higher vantage point.
Newspapers were spread open across the carpet. They LOVED the publicity. They read the news coverage out loud to each other every day. Things were calm with Saidie May and the young lady but forget any peace with these basket cases. They were your feral children.
By Jan Ryan
Each day with no buyer, after optimism based on the serendipity that scored the Renoir, created a little more doubt as to how to escape from a Baziotes cocoon. If they could only sell the Renoir they could move to New York or putter in a propeller basket to the Caribbean. They read the Real Estate section, picking out an apartment that sold before they had the money to buy it, and the travel section, selecting their tropical island. Semi-consciously they floated, descending, through clouds.
By Jan Ryan
Picasso wasn't in Mallorca in 1931 if that's what you are thinking. He was up the coast in Southern France illustrating a Balzac story about a perfectionist artist who kills himself after being ridiculed by young artists.
When tourists assumed her paintings were no good Saidie May was ready to kill too.
"Don't blab that you collect art. They will rob you." warned the artistic sister.
The family never heard the details of Saidie's trip but when the robbery happened much later they wondered.
By Jan Ryan
The thieves made contact. He explained that he was in the market for lesser-known artists like The Painter's Window. He wanted it but a stolen Renoir from a museum? Too hot. "Not going to touch it but try this guy, he's an idiot," and "this guy" was an idiot. He bargained with all the same reasons to not buy then paid cash and disappeared.
They were dealt a better hand. The thieves dyed their hair brown, left their whole stolen collection in Baltimore, went by new names and never returned.
By Jan Ryan
"Did you seek protection? Couldn't you find the museum or the May apartment?" berates the Interrogator.
"Do you understand simile?" she retorts, "Like a plant, someone has to move me."
"… throw out some seeds or fall into a visitor's lap?" the questioning continues.
"After I left the museum no one drew, photographed, no more art history analysis, no X-rays or Internet. There were dire consequences were they to admit they had me. Outside we could be chased through a land of video cameras."
By Jan Ryan
He sacrificed much of the children's tuition and his wife's precious roasts for the Renoir for which the thieves considered him an idiot. He HAD TO bargain: How much cash did they think he could account for? He hated doing business with amateurs and their "buyer" was so condescending. He loved what he loved and he loved the Renoir. If you can't see why you would have been nothing to him.
In a fit of nerves his wife gave the Renoir to the maid.
By Jan Ryan
The maid knew what "this guy" was all about. Research at the museum and libraries made her think the painting was real. There was no way to know for sure. She told her kids it was a copy of a corner of a real Renoir. They took crayons to paper to make their own replicas, thereby, in the maid's opinion, leaving a trail. Uneasily she wiped it clean of fingerprints figuring otherwise her great grandkids would get themselves into trouble selling it thinking they were trying to pass it off as real.
By Jan Ryan
I would be happy to return to the museum with the school kids piping up with comments, the stoned teenagers dully saying, "Cool.Renoir," the adults telling wise tales that aren't true, the quiet ones (mysteries they are thinking) and intimidated visitors finally blurting out, "I like THIS one." Thanks! What's not to like? They all liked me but there was nothing to do but look at me so they looked and looked and I looked back.
This is the final post for She Poses for Moses. The Renoir Returns exhibition is on display in the Museum until 20 July 2014. Examine all the evidence in the Renoir Returns Flickr group, and visit the BMA to see the all the works of art shown in this story in person.

The July government employment report released Friday showed the job market treading water.
And a closer look at one of the two measures the Labor Department uses to gauge employment suggests that part-time work accounted for almost all the job growth that's been reported over the past six months.
Employers added a weaker-than-expected 162,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in July, according to the Establishment Data Survey, which relies on reporting by a large sample of businesses.
The unemployment rate is measured by the separate Household Survey, and it fell two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.4 percent, its lowest level since December 2008. That's due in part to slow growth in the labor force. The jobless rate is based on a sample of self-reporting from ordinary people across the nation, and it's the Labor Department measure that shows a very troubling trend in hiring.
"Over the last six months, of the net job creation, 97 percent of that is part-time work," said Keith Hall, a senior researcher at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. "That is really remarkable."
Hall is no ordinary academic. He ran the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the agency that puts out the monthly jobs report, from 2008 to 2012. Over the past six months, he said, the Household Survey shows 963,000 more people reporting that they were employed, and 936,000 of them reported they're in part-time jobs.
"That is a really high number for a six-month period," Hall said. "I'm not sure that has ever happened over six months before."
The Establishment Data Survey provides the headline-grabbing hiring number that's most cited in news media, but it doesn't distinguish between part-time and full-time work. Similarly, the Household Survey doesn't say whether the part-time workers have found new jobs or represent workers whose employers have shifted them from full time to part time.
Both surveys provide estimated snapshots of hiring, since it's impossible to track every hire and job loss in real time.
"There is something going on if such a large share of the hiring is part time," Hall said.
He said the overall share of part-time jobs to all jobs, 19 percent, wasn't a problem – yet.
Hall speculated that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, shorthanded as Obamacare, might be resulting in employers shifting workers to part-time status to avoid coming health care obligations.
"There's been so much talk about the effects of Obamacare on part-time work," he said. "This is such an unusual thing to see."
By most measures, Friday's jobs report disappointed. Mainstream economic forecasters had projected a number closer to 200,000 in the Establishment Data Survey, in part because of good economic-growth numbers for April through June earlier in the week. Statisticians also revised downward the strong jobs numbers from May and June, suggesting that hiring in the first half of the year averaged about 192,000 a month, near where it was last year.
"Can't help but be let down," said Scott Anderson, the chief economist for San Francisco-based Bank of the West. "Nonfarm job gains were mediocre at best in July and combined with the . . . downward revisions for May and June, the job creation performance remained less than inspiring."
Professional and business services and the leisure and hospitality sectors continued to grow, but at a slower pace, adding 36,000 and 23,000 jobs, respectively. Surprisingly, hiring in the usually robust health care sector slowed to a trickle, at 2,500 new jobs.
The job market "isn't as soft as last month's data suggest," said Mark Zandi, the chief economist for forecaster Moody's Analytics. "Looking at the data over the past several months shows that the job market is slowly but steadily improving. . . .
"New homebuilding is coming back to life, but it has yet to translate into more construction and other housing-related jobs. That should change in coming months as housing activity ramps up."
Manufacturing added a tepid 6,000 jobs in July. The government separately reported Friday a 1.5 percent increase in factory orders in June, led by big-ticket items called durable goods, which rose at 3.9 percent.
"When you look beyond gains in the motor vehicle sector, job growth continues to be weak," Chad Moutray, the chief economist of the National Association of Manufacturers, wrote in his blog Shopfloor.org. "Manufacturers continue to be hesitant to add new workers, a trend that will probably continue until they perceive the economic marketplace to be on a firmer footing."
Construction hiring fell by 6,000 in July, even as the unemployment rate in that sector dropped to the lowest point in five years.
"Although the unemployment rate for experienced construction workers came down to 9.1 percent in July, many of those workers have left the industry for other jobs, school or training programs, or retirement," Ken Simonson, the chief economist for Associated General Contractors of America, wrote in an analysis of the jobs report.
The best showing in July was in the retail sector, which added almost 47,000 positions.
"While unemployment remains stubbornly high . . . retailers are adding to their ranks and payrolls," Matthew Shay, the president of the National Retail Federation, said in a statement.
The financial markets, which have been on a tear this year, looked past the soft hiring numbers. That's partly because any signs of weakness increase the likelihood that the Federal Reserve won't soon remove its unconventional economic stimulus, which has helped inflate stock prices.
"The U.S. markets have responded very well. . . . But we really need to see some top-line revenue growth" at companies, said Ian Kerrigan, a senior investment specialist for wealth-management company JPMorgan Private Bank in Seattle, adding that he doesn't expect a big pullback by investors. "We do think the economy will continue to expand and the valuations (in stock prices) will continue to be justified."
The Obama administration also looked past the weak numbers, saying the economy added jobs for the 41st straight month, and it called on Congress to avoid confidence-killing drama in coming negotiations to pass a new federal budget and raise the ceiling for government borrowing.
"With the recovery entering its fifth year, we need to build on the progress we have made so far and now is not the time for Washington to impose self-inflicted wounds," Alan Krueger, the head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in a statement on his last day in office. "The across-the-board budget cuts known as the sequester continue to be a drag on the economy now and in the future."
Republicans wasted little time seizing on the weak jobs report.
"It is tough to find the bright spot in this report when the fact remains that the economy is still so weak that over half of the kids coming out of college today are either unemployed or underemployed," Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement shortly after the report was released.

MPCA: Container Refund Would Boost Recycling, Jobs
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A new study says a 10-cent refund on recyclable drink containers would cost beverage producers $29 million a year but boost recycling and create a net gain of over 1,000 jobs in Minnesota. The system could also cost consumers $74 million for containers they don't recycle.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency commissioned the study at the Legislature's request. The agency released a draft of the cost-benefit analysis Thursday.
The study says a 10-cent refund would result in recycling around 107,000 tons of containers that currently get trashed and reduce container litter 85 percent.
Minnesota recycles about 45 percent of its beverage containers. The MPCA has set a goal of bringing that up to 80 percent.
Recycle Smart Minnesota says a container deposit would be costly to consumers and businesses.

East Central University was picked fifth as the Great American Conference released its 2012 Preseason Volleyball Poll Wednesday from the league office in Russellville, Ark.
Coach Dave Thorn's Lady Tigers received 37 points after posting a 14-18 overall record and 8-8 regular season conference mark in 2011. ECU did reach the semifinals of the GAC Tournament last season before falling to eventual champion Arkansas Tech.
ATU's Golden Suns received 64 points and eight of the nine first-place votes after going 35-4 last year. Harding, which nabbed the other first-place vote, was voted second in the poll with 54 points, followed by Southeastern Oklahoma State (43), Southern Arkansas (42), ECU, Ouachita Baptist (34), Southwestern Oklahoma State (21), Arkansas-Monticello (17) and Henderson State (12).
Southern Nazarene and Northwestern Oklahoma State, provisional NCAA Division II and GAC members, are not eligible for the title, but will compete with a full conference regular-season schedule.
The Lady Tigers return two all-conference performers in All-GAC Second Team and junior outside hitter Noelle Cope along with All-GAC honorable mention and senior middle blocker Tatiana Booth.
The Golden Suns return 2011 All-GAC First Team selections Sara Motsinger and Amber Cerillos. Motsinger ranked second in the conference in hitting percentage (.305) while Cerillos topped the league in assists and service aces.
The voting for the preseason poll was handled by the league head coaches.
The GAC Championship Tournament will be held Nov. 15-17 on the campus of the regular-season champion.

April 27, 2007
Lipscomb `s Lady Bisons usually depend on freshman Chtisten Campbell's pitching arm, but Thursday in the nightcap of a doubleheader with Middle Tennessee State University she slammed a gtand slam to left field with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning in a 13-9 win at Draper Diamond.
Campbell came on in relief after two outs in the second inning to hang on for the win.
"I could talk about her all day," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Peck said. "She is very competitive on the mound. She doesn't like it any more than we like it when she makes a mistake.
"She is going to go as hard and as long as she can. You never question how hard she is working. It's great to have a player like that to put on the field."
There were six lead changes in game two.
Middle Tennessee scored one run in the top of the first to take the early lead. In the bottom of the first the Lady Bisons responded with four runs.
Lauren Dortwegt led off with a single. With one out Heather Collins singled. Abigail Craig then pinch-ran for Collins. Kellie Sirus made it to first base as Middle's shortstop was credited with an error. Dortwegt scored on the play. Abby Keese singled to right field to send Craig home with the second run. Campbell earned her first of five RBI in the game when she doubled. to bring home Keese.
Middle Tennessee answered with four runs in the second to take a 5-4 advantage. They added another run in the top of the third for a 6-4 edge.
The Lady Bisons tied the game in the bottom of the third with a pair of runs. Keese lad off with a solo home run to center, her 14th of the year. Campbell reached base on an error by the center fielder and went to second on the throw. Jennifer Allsup grounded out moving Campbell to third. Campbell scored on a single to left by Dortwegt.
In the fourth the Lady Bisons took a 7-6 lead when Heather Collins upened the inning with a home run to left. That was her second of the day and 14th of the season. She and Keese are tied for the home run lead in the A-Sun.
Collins also has 55 RBI, tops in the conference.
"Heather is one of those players who has to be consistent," Peck said. "Last year everyone knew she had the power potential, but she never really did it on a consistent basis."
Middle Tennessee took the lead again in the sixth with a pair of runs. Again, the Lady Bisons answered, this time with one run when Collins was walked and then scored when Middle's third baseman misplayed a ball hit by Keese.
In the seventh Middle Tennessee added another run for a 9-8 lead setting the stage for Campbell's blast with two outs. Kellie Sirus singled to score Niki Bails who reached base on a fielder's choice. Campbell's grand slam sealed the win.
"It's a great feeling to know we are never really out of a game," Peck said.
The Lady Bisons pounded 14 hits. Dortwegt and Keese each had four hits. Campbell finished with three.
"It always nice to get the big hits, especially the timely big hits," Peck said. "We have felt all year that we are strong one through nine in the batting order. We even have a couple of players coming off the bench who we know can make contact. It makes defenses uncomfortable." Freshman Christy Grisham started game two for the Lady Bisons, but left after 1 2/3 innings. She gave up three hits and five runs, four earned. She also walked four batters.
Campbell scattered 10 hits and gave up four runs, all earned. She struck out two and walked two
The Lady Bisons lost the first game 8-5. Campbell pitched a complete seven inning game, scattering 10 hits in the loss. She walked two batters and struck out seven.
In game one the Lady Bisons jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Collins hit her first home run of the night to left field, driving in Dortwegt who reached base on an infield single to the shortstop.
Middle Tennessee answered with one run in the second and two in the third. They added four more in the fifth to take a 7-3 lead.
In the bottom of the fifth the Lady Bisons scored a run when Kellie Sirus singled to the shortstop to bring home Dortwegt who led off the inning with a single to center field.
In the sixth the Lady Bisons chipped away at the lead with one more run. Julia Davidson scored when Kristie Sirus reached base on an error by the third baseman.
Middle Tennessee added an insurance run in he top of the seventh.
Senior Julia Davidson and junior Niki Bails, who has decided not to return next season due to the demands of her clinical nursing schedule, were honored on Senior Day.
.The Lady Bisons are 25-25-1. MTSU is 25-25.
This was the last game of the season at Draper Diamond. The Lady Bisons close out the regular season on the road in Huntsville Thursday at 6 in a single game.
The Lady Bisons have qualified to play in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament beginning May 10 at Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.
"What we had in game one was not what we wanted to carry into the tournament," Peck said. "We talked about that between games. We said we had to find a way to get ourselves going."

Julia D.S. Snow (1891-1984), a Greenfield, Massachusetts, resident wore this Army School of Nursing uniform during World War I. The dress uniform was used for formal occasions and travelling. In May, 1918, just over a year after the United States entered World War I, the Army School of Nursing was created to meet the needs for nurses and to bolster the system of using nurse's aides in Army hospitals. Annie Goodrich became the first Dean of the Army School. Although these nurses wore a collar symbol of a lamp superimposed over the caduceus and had Army-regulation buttons on their uniforms, implying a soldiers' status, these women remained officially civilian. By December, 1918, there were 1,578 students in the program. Julia Snow was a volunteer student nurse at the Army training school of the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., from 1918 to 1919, then a laboratory technician until 1921, when she returned to Greenfield.

This selection from Annals of Chicopee Street catalogues the early industries of Chicopee, Massachusetts. In the classic style of 19th century local histories, it reads more like a list of names than a narrative account. Yet the selection shows how early phases of industrialization in New England focused on sawmills and simple workshops, often employing farm girls. For example, Chicopee produced boots and shoes and ?friction matches,? an industry for which the town was well known. The "Fifth Parish" refers to the fact that in the mid-18th century Chicopee was the Fifth Parish of Springfield.

We already know there are a number of tools available to us that can easily rip this information to us, such as RegRipper, and countless articles written about each of the artifacts listed. I find however that if you're purely reviewing the output of the tools to identify that a file was opened or that a file had executed in some way you may be missing the context in how that file was opened. Security analysts must ensure they have the technical understanding for each of the tools they run to ensure they can explain the prescence of an artifact, or lack thereof, listed within the output of their tools.
So I thought for my own benefit I'd create a series of blog posts going through each of the forensic artifacts and hopefully providing some examples with screenshots on how each artifact is created. Again there is no better way to understand these tools then running it across your own workstation where you understand exactly what you've done to complete that action. So with that being said lets take a look at the first artifact SANS lists within the File Download category: Open/Save MRU.
SANS lists the following information within the poster.
In simplest terms, this key tracks files that have been opened or saved within a Windows shell dialog box. This happens to be a big data set, not only including web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox, but also a majority of commonly used applications.
XP NTUSER.DAT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU
Win7 NTUSER.DAT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePIDlMRU
• The "*" key – This subkey tracks the most recent files of any extension input in an OpenSave dialog
• .??? (Three letter extension) – This subkey stores file info from the OpenSave dialog by specific extension
So how can we test the information we've been presented with above. The best and simplest way is create a text file called SANS_ForensicArtifact1_MRU_1.txt and SANS_ForensicArtifact1_MRU_2.txt and open one of them within notepad through the Windows shell dialog box and open another just by double clicking and letting the associated application open the file. We should note the differences in this key from before and after snapshots.
There were a number of ways to export the user hive from my current workstation I decided to leverage of one of my previous posts by using hobocopy to rip it from my live machine. You could use tools such as the built in regedit.exe, simply run a reg save query from the command line or even use a tool such as ftkimager to get this information.
I ran the following first so that I could have a comparison. Please note there are two separate commands in the dialog box below.
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b ^"C:\Documents and Settings\*^"') DO .\tools\hob\hobocopy.exe "c:\Documents and Settings\%%G" .\hives\%%G NTUSER.DATregripper command:rip.exe -r ..\..\hives\username\NTUSER.DAT -f ntuser >> username.txt
I searched the output of regripper for OpenSaveMRU and currently it only listed documents that I'd open previously.
The '*' key indicates the last 10 files opened through the windows dialog box regardless of the extension it has. This can assist us with determining the opening order of each of those 10 files listed. Finally there is a key for each of the extensions opened and in this case we are only concerned with the txt so that we can use our example above. Lets open our file created above and I'll also open a secondary location with a file that has no extension in c:\blogmrulocation\test_noext
Lets run the script again to dump my hive and process it with regripper.
As we can see the only files listed are the ones that we opened through the windows dialog box and there is nothing currently listed for SANS_ForensicArtifact1_MRU_2.txt. As I ran the RegRipper plugin with the -f ntuser option selected it will parse my ntuser.dat file against a number of different plugins and enter the output in the same text file. I decided to search for the second file opened through double click to see where we had references for it.
None of this information above is rocket science by any means and as listed from the SANS reference below the information has already been provided by Chad Tilbury who has written an excellent article on these registry keys. What I do hope to provide to you from this is post is some practical examples and comparisons between what we saw before and what we saw after the files were open. The next time we run the tool rather than accepting the output for what it is we'll have a deeper understanding and hopefully revert back to our example to assist with better understanding and gathering context to an incident where we do not have the luxury of understanding how or why a file was opened and therefore need to piece our view of the world back together.

Angels edged late to fall into first-place tie
OAKLAND -- Joe Smith has made a career out of his ability to locate a fastball down in the strike zone, a pitch that comes from an exaggerated sidearm angle, has led to one of the best ground-ball rates in the Majors and has kept his ERA below 3.00 every season since 2011.
But on Saturday night -- with the game tied, a runner on third and a tight division race in the background -- that skill abandoned him.View Full Game Coverage
OAKLAND -- Joe Smith has made a career out of his ability to locate a fastball down in the strike zone, a pitch that comes from an exaggerated sidearm angle, has led to one of the best ground-ball rates in the Majors and has kept his ERA below 3.00 every season since 2011.
But on Saturday night -- with the game tied, a runner on third and a tight division race in the background -- that skill abandoned him.View Full Game Coverage
Smith's fastball sailed high with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, ricocheting off catcher Chris Iannetta's glove and easily allowing Coco Crisp to score the go-ahead run in the Angels' 2-1 loss to the A's.
"Fastball up and away," a miffed Smith said. "I threw it too high and it went to the backstop."
Entering the much-hyped weekend series, the Angels had won eight of nine and the A's had dropped six of seven. But the Angels have lost the first two, missing a premium opportunity to take control of their division while moving to 0-5 at O.co Coliseum this season. And now the American League West is tied at the top once again.
It'll probably come down to the very end.
"They're not going to roll over," Angels starter C.J. Wilson said after giving up just one run in 6 1/3 innings, keeping his team in the game against an even more dominant Jon Lester.
"When you have a tight race, it's always going to come down to the wire, for sure," center fielder Mike Trout said after an 0-for-4 night that included three strikeouts. "But we still have a month left. There's still a lot of baseball to be played."
The Angels are now 19-15 since the All-Star break, and 28 of their 34 games have been decided by one or two runs.
In the opener against the A's, it was decided on the two runs Jason Grilli gave up in the sixth and the game-ending strikeout of Iannetta with the potential tying run in scoring position. In the second of three this weekend -- and seven over a 10-day stretch -- it was decided on one Smith fastball that got away.
Crisp hit a leadoff single up the middle, then advanced two bases on a couple of groundouts. The next pitch by Smith plunked Derek Norris, putting runners on the corners. Then, Smith's 2-1 fastball got away and accounted for only his second wild pitch and 15th earned run this season.
"That's huge for us to be able to capitalize like that late in the game, to be able to nail it down, take the second game of the series," A's closer Sean Doolittle said after recording his 20th save of the season. "It's a big win for us."
Smith's ERA at O.co Coliseum is now 21.60. Everywhere else, it's 1.63.
In many ways, his Angels have mirrored that.
"We have to figure out a way to win," Smith said. "We are still in good position; we have a lot of games with these guys left. We'll be all right. We just have to beat them here a couple times, starting with tomorrow, and then take care of them at our place."
A troublesome area continues to be the offense, which averaged just over five runs per game in the first half and has averaged only 3.5 ever since.
A recent positive, however, is Wilson.
The 33-year-old left-hander struggled mightily from June 24 to Aug. 7, posting an 11.03 ERA over a six-start stretch that included a stint on the disabled list. But he's given up just four runs in his last 18 1/3 innings, dropping his ERA from 4.82 to 4.45 in the process.
The Angels will need plenty more of that, now that Garrett Richards is lost for the season.
"We need what you saw tonight," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Obviously those guys had some opportunities, and [Wilson] pitched out of trouble. That's a terrific start for C.J. Hopefully he'll continue to do that and give us good starts and opportunities to win games. And when the offense matches it, we will win games."

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this! Kelly Clarkson was ecstatic to share her overwhelming gratitude for where she is in life via Twitter on Wednesday, Apr. 24 — starting with a certain thoughtful fiance.
The "Stronger" singer, who is engaged to Reba McEntire's stepson Brandon Blackstock, shared two photos on her WhoSay account for her 31st birthday, of a decadent cake and a giant bouquet of sunflowers, with a sweet caption to boot.
"I woke up to sunflowers and a red velvet cake that my baby made me 🙂 I'm so in love I'm annoying myself ha!" Clarkson wrote. Her fans responded with an outpouring of congratulations and birthday wishes.
Clarkson announced her engagement to Blackstock in December 2012 with a simple tweet and a photo of an impressive canary yellow diamond ring. "I wanted y'all to know! Happiest night of my life last night!" she tweeted on Dec. 15. "I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever."
And things have definitely been going well for the spunky country singer ever since. Clarkson couldn't resist gushing about her "big year" on Wednesday.
"Today is my 31st birthday!" she wrote on her WhoSay account. "I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life and my career has never been stronger. Thank you God for such an amazing family, group of friends, and a fan base that is rocking!"
"For my birthday I get to put out a Christmas Album at the end of the year (It's sounding amazing!!), go on tour with @Maroon5 (gonna be killer), and GET MARRIED!! It's a big year people!!"
The happy couple have not yet revealed the details of their upcoming nuptials, but she told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month that she's already tapped fellow country crooner Blake Shelton to both sing at her wedding and officiate the ceremony.

The Angel Has Landed
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Today at roughly 3:00 PM EDT, Insider Louisville posted this photograph. It shows three Angel's Envy signs being mounted on the former Vermont American building in Louisville, across the street from Louisville Slugger Field.
Wes Henderson, Chief Operating Officer of Angel's Envy, confirms that this means what it appears to mean; this is where Angel's Envy (Louisville Distilling Company, actually) will build its new distillery and visitors center. A formal announcement is pending.
The location became an open secret at the end of May, when Insider Louisville put the pieces together and reached that conclusion. Company executives would neither confirm nor deny on the record but indicated that the deal wasn't entirely done, and a premature announcement might hurt their negotiating position.
There is still a long way to go but Louisville architects Luckett & Farley say this is what it will look like when it's finished. Exactly when that will be is still TBD.

The first, unfortunately short, blooper reel from The Muppets and promotional interviews has surfaced via ABC Family. I'm not sure if these bloopers actually aired on the channel, or if they're online exclusives, but they are a great way of whetting our appetite in wanting to see more. It doesn't get better than Muppet bloopers, so get ready to enjoy some pure awesome below! (And when was the last time we saw Floyd in a blooper?!)
Special thanks to our good friends at ToughPigs.com for uncovering this gem!

Whoa, the movie dipped 62% in its second weekend! At this rate it won't even make its budget back. Looks like Kermit has croaked!ReplyDelete
There's also enough of a plot to hold your attention. Jason Segel and Amy Adams have great voices. The cameos are fun to pick out; there are quite a few too. I wish there would've been more focus on the secondary Muppet characters instead of just the main ones. But if you're up for a cheesy musical of a Muppet movie then this one is great.ReplyDelete
Does Anon also go by the name Gigglesock?ReplyDelete
thanks for share.ReplyDelete

As a writer, it is your responsibility and your job to report what you believe.
Whatever you write, it should have your full conviction and total belief. If you commit it to print, you have to back it, because you can't take it back without being found out. So there are things that hurt you, but nothing quite like being proved wrong, and having to stage an embarrassing climb down. Therefore, it pains me greatly to write these next two sentences.
I was wrong. Neymar is the real deal.
On this very website, in the wake of Brazil's defeat against England in February, I said: "I don't understand it", "he looks like the ultimate YouTube player", and "I just don't think Neymar is that good".
I ignored him until the Confederations Cup, where he really made me reconsider my stance. Three minutes in against Japan, he scored a great goal and I thought maybe there is a bit more about him than I previously reckoned
But, with the greatest of respect, it was only Japan. I thought Mexico would be a tougher test, and then, with his other foot, he scored an even better volley.
And then came the moment that really worried me as a writer. He made absolute mugs of two defenders to set up the second goal in that game. It was by far my favourite moment of the whole tournament; but in that moment, the professional in me started to worry. In fact, the professional in me already started to write this article in my head, but thought to hold off for a moment.
Let's wait to see him against some European opposition, the likes he'll come up against next season at Barcelona.
Yet again, Neymar produced. Gianluigi Buffon, one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, was left standing as he watched a free-kick sail past him before nestling into the top corner. Now there was no ignoring it. The talent was there for all to see, least of all me. The awkward conversations in my head started, thinking maybe I could just sweep my previous thoughts under the carpet.
The Uruguay game gave me some hope, Neymar was a bit quieter. Maybe the pressure had got to him a bit, I thought. A little bit of me even hoped for this.
But in the final, he pretty much slapped me in the face with his talent. From minute one, he made a mockery of my previous article. He left Arbeloa in such a state that he had to be subbed off at half-time. He committed Gerard Pique and got him sent off. He played a part in all three goals. And he scored a goal so good that there was legitimate applause in my household when his left-foot drive flashed past Iker Casillas.
The win, the trophy and the player of the tournament trophy were well deserved for the young Brazilian.
Right foot, left foot, dribbling, finishing, vision, passing - you name it, he has it in his locker.
I'm looking forward to seeing how he does at Barcelona alongside the likes of Andres Iniesta, Xavi and, of course, Lionel Messi. He won't be shown up, and he's certainly going to be at his level now. And that is something I wholly believe in.

Following last week's narrative of one praised for quietly sitting in the Lord's presence, this Sunday's readings focus on the need to voice one's concerns to God in prayer and on how we should pray. The specific instructions are prefaced by Luke's version of the Lord's Prayer. Luke's version is both shorter and more ordered to everyday life than Matthew's strongly eschatological version (6:9-13). The prayer echoes the Jewish prayer, the Kaddish, Exalted and hallowed be his great name.... May he establish his kingdom in your lifetime and in your days. In Luke the disciples are to pray not simply for daily bread but that it come each day, and that God's forgiveness of sin be measured by their willingness to forgive debts. They ask God's protection from testing, which is both the final judgment and the trials that will accompany their mission of evangelization.
The following somewhat humorous parable stresses the need for a brash and tenacious attitude in prayer. A man is bedded down with his family in their one-room dwelling when a friend comes pounding on the door. There is a crisis. A friend of his has arrived in the middle of the night, and customs of hospitality demand that he fix him a meal, but the larder is empty. The sleeping man envisions rousting the whole family and lifting the unwieldy latch from the door. The point of the parable is not that God is sleeping when we pray, but that when a crisis is present we should be willing to cause a divine ruckus. Abraham is a model of bothering God with a tenacious persistence, and I think of the candid prayers of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, or of St. Teresa of Avila's advice to pray with a holy daring.
The sayings that follow address what for most Christians is the utter mystery of prayer: Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find. Yet we have all prayed constantly for some favor to be granted or for a sick or dying friend, only to be disappointed. I think some members of Luke's community felt the same way, for Jesus then speaks of how a loving father listens to the needs of his children. If he knows how to give good gifts, no matter what the request, then how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit. For Luke the Spirit is the ultimate and greatest gift, which overshadows Mary and empowers the church. Prayers that appear to go unanswered are answered in surprising ways and in God's own good time. Often we become what we pray for: prayers for peace create people of peace; prayers for healing form hearts of compassion; the emptiness of seemingly unanswered prayers is filled by the gift of God's Spirit.

One document = priceless genealogical treasure!! And the serendipity is so heart-warming, isn't it. Thanks for posting all this information, I'm sure it will help others too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Celia. This will forever be one of my favorite documents, and I constantly 'find' new information in it. ;-)Delete
A wonderful surprise at the end of this story! Your mom's cousin gives you big-big-big parts of family history in this long letter, and then at last you the genealogist uncover page 2! Lovely. Sometimes genealogy is as simple as turning the page over! I couldn't figure what relation Nancy Baer Strubbe to you, so that her daughter Mary is now keeper of the family documents?ReplyDelete
This letter is very much like the one that we were poring over this summer after the Reunion--the wife of my dear late cousin, and I. It's a serious and scrupulous effort to get the lineage down on paper. Shows that genealogy is hard-wired into people! I copied and stitched the letter this summer with Flip-Pal, then used it to "seed" one section of Family Tree Maker. Even the handwriting in your letter seems similar to that in our letter-- back from the days when people actually learned handwriting in school.
Thank you for a good read, which I can really relate to!Replies
Marianne, thanks for pointing out I didn't explain Nancy's relationship here. I've spoken about her before, but for those just reading, here goes: Tom Wersel and Nancy Baer Strubbe were first cousins. Tom's Dad Roger and Nancy's mom Virginia were the children of Henry Wersel and Laura Richards Wersel, my great grand parents. Mary Strubbe is Nancy's daughter, my second cousin.Delete
I love handwriting and it's idiosyncrasies, and think it's a shame they're no longer teaching cursive writing in schools. Glad you enjoyed this post!!
WOW! You are so blessed to have this information! I've never found a document filled with so much information as this, but I did have members of a small historical society to put me in touch with a gentleman whose great-grandfather was the plantation owner and Master who owned members of my family. Through him, I was able to obtain information about those particular ancestors as well as information and drawings about the plantation they worked on.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this gift with us!Replies
Liv, your ancestry creates an entirely different set of challenges, and yet as you found yourself, there are still ways in which we can discover the 'where and wherefore' of our lineage. I'm happy for you that you were able to locate information; I have had a number of wonderful genealogical finds and know how blessed that makes me. I'm equally happy that you appreciated that I shared it; I have more that I'll be sharing in the near future, so stay tuned!!Delete

Nicole Kidman Reveals Her Red Carpet Weakness
Stylewatch Style News Now
10/08/2012 at 09:00 AM ET
Courtesy Harper's Bazaar
Nicole Kidman is tall, slender and gorgeous, but even she has insecurities.
"I find standing and posing for photos very awkward," the actress says in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar. "Red-carpet truths!"
Posing (not at all awkwardly) for a cover and spread in the magazine's "Daring Issue," Kidman wears looks by designers like Emilio Pucci, Missoni, Oscar de la Renta and Versace.
However, it's that Dior dress, the one that Kidman wore to the 1997 Oscars, that comes up in conversation.
"It's packed in a box with tissue paper, and it will be donated to a museum," she shares. As for her other couture pieces, "whichever daughter loves clothes more will get dibs on those."
So far, it seems older daughter Sunday is winning that contest; Kidman reveals that she tries on dresses while her 4-year-old sits on the floor. And having such down-to-earth moments with her family seemingly helps the star brush off the endless cycle of gossip that comes with fame.
"As you get older … all of that other stuff becomes less important," she says. "Like, I've always had a little belly. I mean, now that I'm 45, they don't say, 'Oh, she's pregnant!' as much. But I've got skinny arms and legs, and then I've got a little belly." Uh, Nicole, trust us: You look pretty damn good.
For more with Kidman, pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar, on newsstands Oct. 23, and visit harpersbazaar.com/nicolekidman for the full interview and even more stylish photos.

One Brooklyn man is hoping to make a stand against subpar breakfast sandwiches in midtown Manhattan and is raising money to send out instructional pamphlets to the area's delis and bodegas.
Journalist Joseph Checkler launched a Kickstarter campaign to print and mail recipe suggestions to every business that sells egg sandwiches between 33rd and 55th streets from Park Avenue to Ninth Avenue.
"I will save the adequate-but-underachieving NYC egg sandwich by delivering instructional leaflets to all Midtown egg-sandwich makers," Checkler said on the campaign's Kickstarter page.
He briefly outlined his suggestions for improving the breakfast sandwiches, recommending that cooks fry the eggs for shorter periods, use fresh sausage or bacon rather than reheated meat and put up to three slices of cheese on each sandwich.
Checkler said he didn't want to offend cooks at delis and bodegas across the city -- he just wants to improve the quality of one of the Big Apple's breakfast staples.
"I just think that at some point, certain delis started making sandwiches in a less delicious way and I want to revisit the time where they were more delicious," he said.
The fundraising campaign, launched on July 24, has already hit its $310 goal. Checkler said on the page that for additional funding, he would send his pamphlets to more restaurants in Manhattan.
He said he also plans to for similar campaigns in the city's other four boroughs.

Blocking script resources and CSS resourcesHi guys, running few speed tests and seems like there is a lot I need to do, but don't know where to start. One of the issues I am getting is,"Your page has 17 blocking script resources and 14 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page." I am running the test on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=yourownlounge.com&tab=mobile
It is a wordpress site. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Re: Blocking script resources and CSS resourcesIf you are using worpdress then you can use plugins like autoptimize to optimize your scripts. Also use less code that hides/show elements on the page. Always load your scripts just before </body> tag.

LIRC is a deamon that can translate key presses on a supported remote into program specific commands. In this context, the term, "program specific" means that a key press can do different things depending on which program is running and taking commands from LIRC.
The Central Dogma of LIRC
The list below attempts to show the flow of information from the remote to the program using LIRC:
- User hits a button on the remote causing it to transmit an IR or RF signal.
- The signal is received by the receiver connected to the Linux box.
- The kernel (via the correct module) uses /dev/lirc0 to characterize the pulse-length information from the receiver.
/usr/bin/lircduses the information from /etc/lirc/lircd.conf convert the pulse-lengths into button press information.
- Programs that use LIRC translate the button press info from
/usr/bin/lircdinto user-defined actions according to
Summary of Required Files
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf- System-level config translating scancodes --> keys. Is specific to each remote control/receiver on the system and can contain configure for multiple remotes and/or receivers if need be.
~/.lircrc- File containing an include statement pointing to each program's lirc map, i.e.,
~/.lirc/bar, etc.
~/.lirc/foo- User-level config translating of keys --> actions. Is specific to each remote and to application foo.
Install the lirc-utils package, which is available in the official repositories. The most of LIRC kernel drivers are already included in the mainline kernel. Install the lirc package only, if the hardware requires the lirc_wpc8769l module.
Some remotes are identified as "keyboards" and function as such without LIRC. This is problematic and can result in a doubling of commands. Test if this is the case by opening a shell or a text editor, and by pressing buttons on the remote itself. If letters/numbers appear, or if the up/down/left/right arrow keys behave as the up/down/left/right arrow keys on the physical keyboard, a workaround to disable this is required. See, LIRC#Remote_functions_as_a_keyboard for a solution before continuing.
The LIRC Config File
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf which is specific to each remote/IR receiver is the first step in setting up a remote.
Use a Prebuild Config File
Identify which remote/IR receiver is to be used and see if
/usr/share/lirc contains a pre-built config file for it. Once identified, create/edit
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf to use an include statement that points to the selected one.
include "/usr/share/lirc/streamzap/lircd.conf.streamzap"
Create a Config File
Users with unsupported hardware will need to either find a config file someone else has create (i.e. google) or create one. Creating one is fairly straightforward using the included
/usr/bin/irrecord program which guides users along the needed process. If using a detected remote, invoke it like so:
irrecord --device=/dev/lirc0 MyRemote
The program will ask users to begin hitting keys on the remote in an attempt to learn it. If all goes well, the user will be prompted to map out each key press to a specific scancode LIRC uses to identify that specific key press. The process should take no more than 10 minutes. When finished, save the resulting file to
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf and proceed.
Testing the Remote
Start the LIRC daemon:
# systemctl start lirc
Test the remote using
/usr/bin/irw, which simply echos anything received by LIRC when users push buttons on the remote to stdout.
$ irw 000000037ff07bfe 00 One mceusb 000000037ff07bfd 00 Two mceusb 000000037ff07bfd 01 Two mceusb 000000037ff07bf2 00 Home mceusb 000000037ff07bf2 01 Home mceusb
Program Specific Configuration
LIRC has the ability to allow for different programs to use the same keypress and result in unique commands. In other words, mplayer and vlc can respond differently to a given key press.
Decide which programs are to use LIRC commands. Common programs include: mplayer, mythtv, totem, vlc, and xbmc
~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml which is a unique xml file, rather than the LIRC standard files the rest of the programs use.
Users should create the expected files showing LIRC where the various program-specific maps reside:
$ mkdir ~/.lirc $ touch ~/.lircrc
- Populate
~/.lircwith the program specific config files named for each program.
$ ls ~/.lirc mplayer mythtv vlc
- Edit
~/.lircrcto contain an include statement pointing to
~/.lirc/fooand repeat for each program that is to be controlled by LIRC.
include "~/.lirc/mplayer" include "~/.lirc/mythtv" include "~/.lirc/vlc"
Remote functions as a keyboard
Xorg detects some remotes, such as the Streamzap USB PC Remote, as a Human Interface Device (HID) which means some or all of the keys will show up as physical key presses like the physical keyboard. This behavior will present problems if LIRC is to be used to manage the device. To disable this, create the following file and restart X:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Ignore Streamzap IR" MatchProduct "Streamzap" MatchIsKeyboard "true" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection
(Temp placeholder for content to sort)
Setup a HID device with LIRC
Some remotes are supported in the kernel where they are treated as a keyboard and mouse. Every button on the device is recognized as keyboard or mouse events which can be used even without LIRC. LIRC can still be used with these devices to gain greater control over the events raised and integrate with programs that expect a LIRC remote rather than a keyboard. As drivers are migrated to the kernel, devices which use to only be useable through LIRC with their own
lirc.conf files become standard HID devices.
Some HID remotes actually simulate a USB infrared keyboard and mouse. These remotes show up as two devices so you need to add two LIRC devices to
First we need the
/dev/input device for our remote:
$ ls /sys/class/rc/rc0
One of the files should be input#, where the number matches the event# of the device. (To clarify you can check that directory, it will have an event# file.
/sys/class/rc. Under event#
cat name to verify which device you are looking at.
then go to
$ ls -l /dev/input/by-id
You should find a file that symlinks to the input# above, and possibly others with a similar names for mouse events.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 10月 14 06:43 usb-3353_3713-event-if00 -> ../event9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10月 14 06:43 usb-3353_3713-event-if01 -> ../event10
Here 'usb-3353_3713-event-if00' and 'usb-3353_3713-event-if01' are the Linux input device event for our HID device, one for the keyboard, another for the mouse.
Then, we need to edit
/etc/conf.d/lircd.conf. This file contains the parameters for LIRC daemon
# #Parameters for daemon # LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-3353_3713-event-if00" LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" LIRC_EXTRAOPS="" LIRC_CONFIGFILE="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
The latest version of the config file for HID remotes exists in the LIRC git repository [1]. Simply save it as
In order to launch the LIRC daemon for HID remote, You must enable evdev module first
# modprobe evdev
/dev/lircd to
/var/run/lirc/lircd, but many applications still look for the socket in the old location. Since lirc-utils 0.8.6-3 the
/etc/rc.d/lircd script creates a symlink from
/dev/lircd to the
/var/run/lirc/lircd socket when it starts the lircd daemon and removes the link when the daemon is stopped.
Serial receivers that depend on lirc_serial
Make sure that your serial port is activated in the BIOS. There you can also set and lookup I/O address and IRQ settings of your ports.
Now there might be a problem: the module lirc_serial is build to use ttyS0 (COM1), if your device is not connected to ttyS0, you will have to either change the module-options or rebuild the LIRC module. If your device is connected to ttyS0, you can skip this step
To change the options for the lirc_serial module, you edit
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add this line:
options lirc_serial io=0x2f8 irq=3
You should change the values after io and irq to reflect you serial port settings, the values above may work for you if you are using ttyS1 (COM2) to connect your IR-device. But you will find the correct values by checking dmesg:
$ dmesg | grep ttyS
Building the lirc_serial module for another ttySx
Update abs
# abs
Copy the LIRC files to a directory you choose yourself:
$ cp /var/abs/extra/system/lirc /some/dir
$ cd /some/dir
Edit the PKGBUILD in that directory.
Replace the line:
./configure --enable-sandboxed --prefix=/usr \ --with-driver=all \\ return 1[/code]
./configure --enable-sandboxed --prefix=/usr \ --with-driver=com2 \ || return 1[/code]
Where you replace com2 with the com-port you need.
Build and install the package:
$ makepkg # pacman -U lirc-version.pkg.tar.gz
Now try to load the serial module:
# modprobe lirc_serial
If this produces an error which says your serial port is not ready, you have the problem that your serial port support is build into the kernel and not as a module (in the default arch kernel it is build into the kernel)
If it is built into the kernel you will have to do the following (remember that it is built into the kernel, you will need to make some changes later too)
You will have to release the serial port:
# setserial /dev/ttySx uart none
(Replace x with your port number)
Load the module again:
# modprobe lirc_serial
Now it should not show any errors, and the modules lirc_serial should be listed in lsmod
Checking module based receivers
NOTE: This section only applies if your device requires a lirc_[driver] kernel module.
Before you start using lirc, you should check if your receiver is working, and if there is IR interference. Possible sources of interference include monitors/televisions (especially plasma displays), fluorescent lamps and direct or ambient sunlight. Start the following command to display raw receiver input.
# mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
If you press buttons on any IR remote, you should see a series of pulses and spaces. If there is very frequent output without pressing buttons on your remote, your receiver suffers from interference. You want to avoid such interference, e.g. by placing the receiver behind or under your plasma tv.
If you can't make out where the interference is coming from, you can try to put a cardboard roll right in front of the receiving diode, so that it only gets light from a specific direction. Invoke mode2 as above. Then point at different locations till you receive IR noise.
Your serial port support is compiled as a module in the kernel
This is rather easy: you will just have to add lirc_serial to the modules list and lircd to the daemons list in
Your serial port support is compiled into the kernel
This is more complicated, you cannot just add the lirc_serial to the modules list in
/etc/rc.conf, as the serial port should be released first.
So I created a custom startup script to fix this problem.
#!/bin/bash #/etc/rc.d/start_lirc #releases ttySx and loads lirc_serial module . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions case "$1" in start) stat_busy "release ttySx" setserial /dev/ttySx uart none #load lirc module modprobe lirc_serial stat_done ;; stop) stat_busy "unload lirc module" rmmod lirc_serial stat_done ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac exit 0
Now load the daemons: add "start_lirc" and "lircd" to the daemons list in

They are called "probable'' pitchers for a reason. It's because anything can happen, and for the Mets they frequently do.
Injuries to his shoulder and now elbow bumped Jonathon Niese from his scheduled Opening Day start, and thrust Dillon Gee into that role. However, manager Terry Collins has not shut the door on Bartolo Colon.
The current plan is for Niese to open the season on the disabled list and not pitch him until April 6, the fourth game of the season against Cincinnati at Citi Field. He received a cortisone injection Monday to treat elbow inflammation.
Based on his consistency last season and leading the staff with 199 innings pitched, Gee is deserving of the honor of starting Opening Day, March 31, against Washington at Citi Field. Gee had been penciled in start the third game of the season, also against Washington, because of his 4-2 record with a 2.72 ERA last year against the Nationals.
Gee had career highs last year in: innings (199), starts (32), complete games (two), strikeouts (142) and ERA (3.62).
The Mets' rotation to open the season figures to be: Gee, Colon and Zack Wheeler against the Nationals, followed by Daisuke Matsuzaka, Gee and Niese against Cincinnati.
The Nationals' projected starters in the first series will be Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmerman.
