As Alaska lawmakers discuss looming gas shortages predicted by utilities, many on both sides of the gavel have made mention of how importing liquefied natural gas to meet immediate demand might affect the existing market and production levels in the future.
Representatives from a research firm predicting the gas shortages and officials from other utilities were asked by lawmakers recently if importing LNG would disincentivize Cook Inlet exploration or the need for a North Slope gas pipeline. They have also been asked how importing likely higher-priced LNG would affect local gas prices for consumers in the long-term.
Dan Sullivan, Alaska Department of Natural Resources commissioner, said he has been making mention of these "red flags" to lawmakers as importing gas could "stifle" and "undermine" the Cook Inlet's gas renaissance, among other effects.
"We're trying to ... point out to the committee that if we start going down the long term, large-volume import option we need to be aware and think through the implications of that for a whole host of different reasons," he said Wednesday to the House Energy committee.
Matt Berman, a professor of economics at the University of Anchorage Alaska's Institute of Social and Economic Research, said in an interview with the Clarion Tuesday that importing LNG would increase Alaska's low price of natural gas.
"If we are importing LNG in reasonable quantities, then you would, over the long run, expect the contracts for Cook Inlet gas to be renegotiated upward," he said. "It is possible that wouldn't happen, but it is likely that it would."
However, Berman said it is hard to know what price Alaska utilities could get for imported LNG.
"It is really a difficult market to pin down because there are all these prices all over the place and you think, 'How can that be?'" he said. "It is because they are based on long-term contracts that were signed on different periods of time or different scarcities and they are locked in for many years."
Berman said the Regulatory Commission of Alaska doesn't have a good benchmark for what an LNG import price should be as it's really never happened in the state. That benchmark price could have lasting effects, he said.
"If the utilities come in and say, 'We need to import LNG because there is not enough gas locally and here is the cost to import,' and once the RCA approves that, it makes it difficult to deny a local contract for the same terms," he said.
Berman reasoned that importing LNG could disincentivize Cook Inlet gas exploration only if the volume of imported LNG is so high that it dominates the market and the opportunity for new gas.
But, future market growth and the size of the consumer base could grow to make room for more gas, he said.
"I don't have any idea how the volumes would be structured, but you currently have quite a bit of gas still under contract," he said. "So once you build an LNG terminal to import, you have to size it, figure out what is the capacity for it and fill it up. I think even if you design it for the current market, over time the market would currently grow and there will be room for more local gas."
Kara Moriarty, executive director of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, said she was unsure if LNG imports would be needed and said she would never speculate about the market price of natural gas.
"(Speculating) is just something that I would never do and it really just depends on if the state has to look at imports, are we talking short-term contracts? Are we talking long-term contracts?" she said. "What I can tell you is that my members in Cook Inlet are doing everything they can to increase production, both oil and gas, in the inlet."
Moriarty said it was also premature to speculate about how LNG imports would shape producers' desires to explore and increase gas production as it would depend on the length of any LNG contract utilities could find.
"It is all about economics," she said. "If it makes economic sense for them to continue they will and if it doesn't they won't."
During a recent presentation to the Legislature, Petrotechnical Resources of Alaska's Bill Van Dyke said he thought Cook Inlet gas would always be competitive and LNG imports wouldn't drive producers out of business in the future. What sort of legacy that leaves, however, is another matter, he said.
"I would say maybe importing gas to Alaska gives us a bit of a black eye," he said. "I'm not sure whether it does or not. But if it is the choice between a black eye and a black out, I'll take the black eye."
Sen. Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, said in an interview with the Clarion that she has heard utilities say it was their intention to "do no harm" to Cook Inlet gas production, but that she was interested and waiting to see what they decided.
"Regardless, whatever the decision is, it has to be economic and for these producers it has to meet their requirement to provide that reliable energy to their consumers," said Giessel, who represents northern portions of the Kenai Peninsula and is the chair of the Senate Resources Committee.
In regard to the question of lasting higher prices as a result of importing LNG, Giessel agreed that it was an "unknown" but said she had faith in the RCA to ultimately defend consumers.
"I don't see there is much there we can do at this point aside from road access on the western side of Cook Inlet," she said when asked what the Legislature can do to help the situation. "... Otherwise I believe that economics need to drive this and I haven't heard any suggestions from the utilities."
In a presentation last week, ENSTAR's Moira Smith said the regional gas supplier is looking at all options — LNG, compressed natural gas and the possibility of LNG trucking from the North Slope. Regardless of where the gas comes from, an import project would take a lot of capital investment consumers would pay for, she said.
"If you say, 'Do an import project, but make sure it is only five years long to make sure the impact on the market is as minimal as possible,' and again number one is not discouraging production in Cook Inlet but if you say, 'Make it five years,' then the capital expenses have to become amortized over that short, short period or you pay a very expensive escape clause in those contracts," she said.

11.23.10H.B. Fuller Company has appointed Jim Owens to succeed Michele Volpi as president and chief executive officer and director, effective immediately. Volpi will step down from the board of directors.
"On behalf of the board, I extend our thanks to Michele. We appreciate his more than eight years of service to H.B. Fuller, the last four as president and chief executive officer," said Lee Mitau, chairman of the board. "During his tenure, Michele defined a new strategic direction, managed the company through the global recession, and led the company's recent investments in talent, customer facing organizations and technology. We wish Michele the best going forward.
"The board is pleased to appoint Jim Owens as president and chief executive officer," Mitau continued. "Owens has successfully managed the largest region of this company and his transition into the CEO role is a natural progression for him. His 24 years of industry experience, and a track record of proven results uniquely positions him to be successful. We're confident that in his new role the company will benefit greatly from his capabilities, knowledge and experience."
Owens, H.B. Fuller's senior vice president, Americas, joined the company in 2008. He has delivered two successive years of profit growth in Fuller's most profitable, North American business, has led the transformation of the company's Latin American businesses and has been instrumental in driving the growth agenda for the company worldwide.
Previously, Owens, 46, spent 22 years with National Starch's adhesives business, a division of ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries Limited) in a variety of management positions, including vice president and general manager, Europe/Middle East and Africa; corporate vice president and general manager of the North American adhesives business; business director for the pressure sensitive and laminating adhesives businesses; marketing manager; and technical services manager. Owens has served on the board of directors for the Adhesives and Sealants Council for the past seven years, most recently as chairman. He has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware and a master's in business administration from the Wharton Business School.
"I'm honored, not only by the board's confidence, but also by the opportunity to lead a company with such incredible potential," Owens said. "H.B. Fuller has strong technology and market positions around the world combined with a solid financial base, an outstanding executive leadership team and thousands of remarkable employees. Our focus going forward will be to execute against the strategies that we have articulated and take advantage of worldwide growth opportunities to deliver a profitable return for our shareholders."

I'm hoping I have a simple problem but I can't figure out what to do.
Linux distrobution: CEntOS 6.4
Asus motherboard: M4A78LT-M
Original setup:
DVD-ROM via the IDE port
Two 1.5Tb drives on SATA1 and SATA2
RAID1 the two disks, with 3 partitions:
- sda1 ext4 / 20Gb
sda2 swap 2Gb
sda3 lvm /mnt/store
When hard disk space was running low I added two new 3.0Tb disks and did a fresh install of the latest version of CEntOS to one of them. I extended the LVM of the original disk(s) to include the new hard disk.
- sda1 ext4 not mounted 20Gb
sda2 swap 2Gb
sda3 lvm /mnt/store
sdc1 ext4 / 20Gb
sdc2 swap 2Gb

Life was good until SMART warned me one of the original hard disks was failing.
My question:
How do I now replace the original 1.5Tb disks? Would this be a good time to migrate to OpenSUSE and BTrFS?
I really can not see a way forward so any questions, advise or help would be greatly received. I miss my server and the facilities it gave me

It sounds like he would fit in well with Santonio.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young met with the media today for the first time since he was sent home from the practice facility last week, but he didnt have much to say.
Young fielded nine questions, ignoring one and giving eight one-sentence answers before the session was cut off by a Lions spokesperson.
Young was benched for the final series of the Lions Nov. 18 loss to the Green Bay Packers after he purposely lined up incorrectly on multiple occasions and yelled at receivers coach Shawn Jefferson coming off the field.
Jefferson declined to comment on that incident and Young, in general, today.
But team captain Dominic Raiola blasted Young in an interview with the Detroit News (a few adjective expletives have been edited out).
"It's not a distraction because we have moved on from him," Raiola said. "If he wants to be an a------, let him be an a------. It's not my problem.
What we can control is the guys who want to be here. I want people who want to be here, and I think everybody else wants the same thing.
"If you don't want to be here, then leave."
Raiola said he has "no idea" why Young is disgruntled.
"We've got the best player in the world over there (in Calvin Johnson)," Raiola said. "He should look no further than that to know how to act. If you are going to act like that, you are done."
Meanwhile, here was Youngs exchange with reporters:
Q. What led to your absence from the team for last weeks loss to the Houston Texans?
A. Well, what happens in house stays in house.
Q. Are you disappointed youve been sent home from the facility twice in six months?
A. Well, I just made my comment on that whole situation."
Q. How are you progressing this week to get back in the playing mix?
A. Well."
Q. Do you expect to play Sunday?
A. Well, thats all in Gods hands.
Q. Lions coach Jim Schwartz said you need to be more accountable, is this part of that?
A. Well, you have to talk to Coach about that.
Q. What would you say to fans who wonder if they can trust you again?
A. Well, Im not here to talk about that past.
Q. Do you understand why people are curious about your situation?
A. I didnt get the question."
(The question was repeated, and Young, who wore sunglasses and a stocking cap during the interview, did not respond.)
Q. Are you disappointed in yourself?
A. Im not here to comment about the past.
Sounds like he has been getting pointers from Santonio....How was this guy's a$$ not cut? He can't cost that much??
It sounds like he would fit in well with Santonio.
He is their "whipping boy" for Suh.
So tired of this kind of stuff and as a result my interest in professional sports seems to lessen every year. While there are still some good character guys, attitudes like Young's here become more and more typical. It gets hard to cheer for guys you know you would want to avoid if you met them in real life.
I am not trying to say Young doesn't deserve punishment, what he did was inexcusable and if it were my team I would consider cutting him. I agree he got off easy. My point was that I think they could be trying to send a message by punishing a lesser player.
The Lions have a lot of trouble. Their coach is a bit of a doosh and they have these young players who are problem childs. Suh, Young, Fairley, Berry (now a Jet).
sounds like he's just a humble man of God who's eager to move on with his life

This can be true in a passive sense, when a good manager acts as a blast shield to protect the team from things such asManagers don't really do much of anything.
While funny, your comment doesn't do much to encourage the OP to move upward into management.
Effective/successful management is a combination of leadership and management. Management is the process of getting things done, repeatability, auditability, process, etc. Leadership is defining direction, pushing initiatives, etc. A typical boss only does management - you see that all the time. But great bosses are a combination of the two. Note that just being a leader is not a complete picture for a good boss, as nothing really gets done.
Yes, it is important for the successful manager/leader to not do the technical work. When a manager/leader starts to do that, he or she becomes too focused on the "what are we doing" and isn't able to focus on the "what should we be doing". Yes, as a line manager you need to retain technical skills, but you shouldn't do so by doing programming or sysadmin. I try to encourage people at that level to not get their hands on systems - you hired competent staff to do it. A big part of making the transition into management is learning to let go of some of your current technical duties. I'd advise the OP, when he makes the move into management/leadership, to stop coding. Do your best to avoid giving too-technical requirements - "we'll use an AJAX app to do ___" is less good than "we need to do ___". Let the tech team decide what technology to use. Your job should not involve technical details.
The best managers reasise that employees don't work "for them", but instead they work for the employees, helping get rid of obstacles so that the employees can give of their best.
Even if she had spent her days bringing the other developers coffee, she would not have cost the company multiples of her salary to keep employed.
Right on! One of the things I need to do as a team leader is to identify and reduce the damage from incompetent programmers. Incompetent programmers not only have less productivity, often they have negative productivity, the grand parent post is good example. Letting them work on the code creates more work for the rest of the team.

I had to look past the sunbeams and imagine the impact both on the firm and the guy if he stayed on. It wouldn't have been good for us, or for him. The guy should have been a life coach or a priest and by not taking the step of sacking him I was keeping him from a chance to do good somewhere else. Sucked having to tell him.
Then later I found out he'd fabricated everything in his resume in the first instance, coached his friends to act as references (who looks past the phone number?) and screwed up a bid that would have employed another dozen peeps. Sucked finding that out.

Managers don't really do much of anything. If you have minimal people skills then you should have no trouble acting as a manager
Indeed, that's why every manager, on the first day, gets a private meeting with Dr. Spaalzbad and his faithful assistant, Gorky, who proceed to remove his brain and replace it with shredded paper from Legal. Thus the new manager can becoming overtly concerned over the mundane, stupid and non-existent, say the most moronic things, and possess no evidence of intelligence.
Do whatever the little white dog tells you to do.
Actually, I would Scott Adams' "serious" books: The Dilbert Principle and Way of the Weasel are pretty good explanations of why managers act the way they do. Your typical PHB usually has very good business reasons for the stupid things he does, but since he's technically incompetent, he'll attempt to achieve these valid business goals by means that are unlikely at best, and impossible at worst.
Witness our earlier Slashdot thread about a judge not knowing that "storing" logs in RAM is fundamentally different than "storing" logs on disk. She's got a good legal reason to expect that when someone is told to "turn over the logs", that they turn over all the logs. But because she's an idiot, she's very angry and confused when she finds out that RAM just. doesn't. work. like. that.
Your advantage is that you've got the technical background; the Adams books will explain good (techie) management skills in language that you can use with fellow PHBs. Tell your fellow managers "I make sure my employees can leave by 5pm", and they'll wonder why you're harboring a bunch of slackers. But if you phrase it as "if my employees can't get their work done by 5, then the fault is with our management/scheduling/business processes, so let's, as managers, figure out how to improve those processes", and all of a sudden the PHBs love it.
PHBs are funny that way. As soon as it sounds like it's their idea, they love it. Your job, as a non-pointy-haired boss, is to make sure that the ideas your fellow PHBs "love" will be good ones.
In fact, the judge made a perfectly reasonable order which all three of you have completely misunderstood before happily charging in without a clue.
So, who are the idiots?
Getting back to the original question, this exchange certainly demonstrates why managing developers (and IT people in general) is so difficult. I don't think there's any other field where people have such disproportionately inflated assessments of themselves and so much misplaced contempt for others.
The saying is true, but often misunderstood and misused.
Having gone through a similar transformation about 4 and a bit years ago (and something similar but less extreme about 14 years ago), I can only say that I'd be very scared of an (ex-)techie who, when he turns manager, feels comfortable from the start, or even before he accepts the offer. That person may have been overlooked as a talent and his promotion hence long overdue, but that woudl be a (frustrated) exception. More likely than not such a person

This is the best advice in the topic. Your job is to optimize the output of the people below you, often by making their jobs easier. (It's no use paying someone lots of money to order pens and paper from Staples, etc...) They will tell you what they need, you just have to listen and empathize (DIFFERENT THAN sympathize, managers often have to make some very un-sympathetic decisions). A great manager is one who balances those needs with the needs of his/her bosses while making both parties happy.
I highly re
You've clearly got no idea how to be a manager. Let me translate that for you...
1. Treat others as you would expect to be treated
Be people-smart with a view to enhancing workplace synergy.
Never assume that anyone has nothing to add to a conversation
Respect the value of human capital. Gift a space for discussants to talk through their concerns and add value to the dialogue.
Keep your shit together; be organized.
Work smarter, and keep on top of your key performance indicators.
Realize that even if you follow the above rules there will be politics and CYA that will make you miserable from time to time.
Prepare for, and manage, corporate disconnects.
There, now you're ready to be a manager!
I'm pleased the concept resonated with you.
What did your previous managers do? Do what they did except improve on the issues that you thought were lacking.
Depending on your organization, I would generally say that a managers job is to make sure her people are happy and productive. That includes kicking them in the ass when the need it, insulating them from corporate BS and finally, making sure they have the resources they need to get their jobs done.
One, remember - management is more about people skills than technical expertise.
I would say that it's very important to remember that the skills needed to do a job aren't the same as the skills needed to manage people doing that same job. One of the most important things to remember, IMO, is to stay cool-headed. Try not to get rattled. If you're frustrated, annoyed, scared, or confused, then try not to let it show.
As a manager, it's your job to keep your peers and superiors informed about anything tha
I'm going through something similar myself. I've found that I've had to readjust my up-front goals. As a coder, I was more interested in how to accomplish something and, in point of fact, getting it accomplished.
As a manager, I've found it becomes just as important to demonstrate progress (not just results), and to make sure that what has been asked of me is achievable, measurable and makes business sense for the company.
Also, don't underestimate the importance of compliance stuff (SOX if you are with a public company, HIPAA if with a medical organization, PCI for credit cards, etc.). It all seems like a big waste of time but getting through audits and such is critical.
And, for those who say "don't take the management job, ignore them." When they have to move out of mom's basement, they will be more sympathetic to you.
Sun Zi (or Sun Tzu), seriously, it is a big hype in the management world but it is a great work on strategic thinking, really.
Disclaimer: IANAManager, just someone who studied Classical Chinese at University, and from that point of view I would say get this [google.com] not that [google.com]. Or maybe on of the million Sun Zi for manager/marketing/whatever books, but then you got the hype.
what resources would you recommend I look to for guidance in this transition?
Your spouse and your confidence.
One, you will screw up eventually. Two, screw ups build character and experience. And, three, every CEO has bags of regret he carries with him at all times as a reminder, no matter his formal training or degree. In other words, time, patience, and a good shoulder to lean on. My brother is a VP with Rockwell Corporation. He will tell you the same.
Probably not the answer you were looking for, but,
Can't recommend it enough really - it helped me plenty.
If you want to manage then you'll have to forget everything you know about the technical side of your former job. You don't have time for it now, and there are people who do that for you.
Get used to meetings. That's your life now. You'll have meetings inside of other meetings. You'll be in two meetings at once in two different rooms. I wouldn't make this up, you know.
Remember those times when you were on call and had to work the occasional weekend? You still do that, only it's all the time now. Any

The injuries to 6-year-old Zainabou Drame received in a pit-bull attack last month are heartrending and unacceptable.
Disturbingly, there�s little in either Ohio or Cincinnati law to punish dog owners in such situations, let alone prevent something similar from happening again.
Police shot and killed the two pit bulls, and the owner is facing possible prison time � but not because of the attack. Zontae Irby has been indicted on drug charges that could put him in prison for up to 8 1/2 years.
The only law Irby broke in his dogs� attack was one requiring dogs to be leashed or confined, according to Cincinnati Prosecutor Charlie Rubenstein. It�s a minor misdemeanor under Ohio and city law, carrying a $150 fine since the dogs hadn�t been previously designated �dangerous,� he said.
The pit-bull attack in Westwood, which follows a similarly serious one in December, has some questioning whether the city of Cincinnati should reinstate its pit-bull ban...
Another option ... is to put the onus on owners to control their pets� behavior. This could include penalties up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for a dog attack that causes harm, and up to 6 months and $1,000 for an attack that causes serious harm or kills another animal.
We say no more free bites.
An attack that kills a person can already be prosecuted as involuntary manslaughter, and that would remain the case.

The Boy Scouts have their values:
"Since we were founded, we believe that open homosexuality would be inconsistent with the values that we want to communicate with our leaders," said Gregg Shields, national spokesman for the Boy Scouts. "A belief in God is also mentioned in the Scout oath. We believe that those values are important. Tradition is important. Our mission is to instill those values in scouts and help them make good choices over their lifetimes."The sad part is that to pay the $200,000 a year rent (instead of the subsidized $1 a year), the Boy Scouts would need to cut its services, which are obviously highly desirable to the city:
"With an epidemic of gun violence taking the lives of children almost daily in this city, it's ironic that this administration chose to destroy programming that services thousands of children in the city," Mr. Jubelirer said. He added that the organization serves more than 69,000 young people, mostly from the inner city, and that its programming focuses on mentoring and after-school programs instead of camping trips.
And the city will not only lose valuable services, but will probably need to pay millions to the Boy Scouts to reimburse it for the elaborate Beaux Arts building that the Boy Scouts built and improved over the years. What a terrible loss all around.

Harper, others give back what's been given
For the third straight year, college and NFL players gathered at Bandys High School to work with area high school football players on Friday.
Newton-Conover, Maiden, Bandys, St. Stephens and four other schools' athletes participated in drills and took advice during the third annual Justin Harper Oddie Cares Foundation football camp.
This year's camp had even more of special meaning to Harper after the passing last night of 9-year-old "Robbie" Caskey, a close friend of Harper's in the Bandys community.
Harper said the young man had a special place in his life.
"About two years ago, I met Robbie," Harper said. "You talk about transforming a man's life. At the age he was at, I never grew up with a dad. I watched the relationship between him and his dad. He is a big part of me."
Harper's experience with Caskey has come full circle, as he is giving back to high school football players in the area.
"This is why I'm trying to do this camp," Harper said. "I'm trying to bring my guys out here and try to impact a lot of young people's lives."
Not only were college and pro athletes a part of the camp, but former Newton-Conover football player Octavius Harden decided to participate this year as a counselor after participating in the camp a number of years.
"I get to see some of the players I left behind," Harden said. "I get to see how they have grown. I get to take more of a mentor position rather than be a teammate. I can give advice that helped me out. It's a good way to pass what I know on to someone else, even if they aren't from my school."
Current Washington Redskins and former Virginia Tech defensive back Victor "Macho" Harris has participated in the camp all three years of its existence.
He said interacting with college and NFL players can change the perception for many of those participating.
"I can remember back when I was a young kid," Harris said. "I never got a chance to see an NFL football player, except for one player when I was in the fifth grade. I always remembered. His name was Ed Perry. Ever since then, I felt like I could make it. I know if it made a difference in me back then, it definitely can make a difference for them."
Jarrett Boykin, a junior flanker for the Virginia Tech football team in his second year with the camp, said Harper had an impact on his career.
"Justin Harper was a guy I looked up to coming into Virginia Tech," Boykin said. "I wear his number 81. Just for us to come out here, give back to these kids and putting them in a positive direction is great."

I feel the pain and dispare of this loss of this lovely child. No child should have to live a short life of such pain. I am giving you my opinion of the severity of the no danger statement. No, we do not want to live a life in fear for our children. I myself have studied child abduction for 17 years, in hopes I can make a difference, Just preventing just one life being lost or child missing is worth it all.. First of all a predator does not wear a sign saying guard your children. They are usually loaners, with not much comaradery, they need to keep their wants and needs private for fear of retaliation from others. There is no such thing as let your guard down. The federal gov.has estimated there are over 2,000 abductions per day in the U.S.A.. We do not hear about all of them, only the local, sometimes. That would account for tens of thousand of predators if they only did this at 4 or 5 per year each. It is time to work out a plan for keeping an extra 2 or 3 sets of eyes on our children. Don't be afraid to carry legal protection to avert this horrible act, designate play area's with 2-3 adults on guard. keep the children together. If you ever need to become a part of something important, become a hood watch for the children. thank you. Monitor 67

The Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce promotes the campaign, "Jump on the Blue Bandwagon," which encourages residents to shop local. One couple said they aren't convinced the Chamber practices what they preach. The couple booked a trip through the Chamber and assumed they would be patronizing local businesses. When they found out that wasn't the case they wanted answers.
"The biggest issue is, our local chamber is taking the place of a local travel company, our local companies could be making money on these trips, because our local chamber makes money on these trips," said unhappy traveler Deb Stover.
Jim and Deb Stover have gone on four trips abroad with the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce.
"We thought that going with the chamber you kind of get a warm and fuzzy feeling, everything will work out great, and our first trip to Ireland was a great trip but our trip to Greece, not so great," said Jim Stover.
President and CEO of the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce, Diane Schwenke said they went to a local agency first.
"At that time our travel agencies here locally said we can't match this in terms of travel itineraries and cost," said Schwenke.
Stover said now she is planning a similar trip to Spain as the Chamber using a local agent.
"I know that's not true because there are 15-20 of us doing a trip to Spain in the fall, its going to be just as cheap if not cheaper, from Grand Junction with a local travel company," said Stover.
In an email from Schewenke to the Stovers, she said the trips were a temporary source of revenue, in an attempt to weather the recession.
Schwenke wrote in the email, "the Chamber does not receive much revenue from the trips and may discontinue them in the future."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carlos Ruiz hit a tiebreaking RBI single in Philadelphia's two-run eighth inning, helping the Phillies edge the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Monday night.
Cesar Hernandez started the winning rally with a two-out walk against Tyler Clippard (6-3). He came around to score on Jimmy Rollins' double. After Chase Utley was walked intentionally, Ruiz drove in Rollins with a single to left.
B.J. Rosenberg (1-0) recorded the final out of the eighth for the win and Jonathan Papelbon finished for his 24th save in 30 chances.
The Nationals put runners on the corners with one out in the ninth, but Wilson Ramos was called out on strikes and Anthony Rendon struck out swinging to end the game.

Hi fellow Texans!
Hi there Matthew! So glad you could join us!
Hello to the new members!
Just wanted to say a big ol' howdy, and bienvenidos, ya'll.
Hey Ya'll! I have been "surfing" around the atheist websites forever and how I missed this massive one - well, let's just say I'm OLD! ;-) and a tad techno challenged.
I was born and raised for a minute in, drum roll, Panhandle, Texas. Not the panhandle, but a tiny town by that name. Go figure. Anyhoo, moved to New Mexico, met and married the love of my life and moved to San Antonio...a somewhat less Texas city than most, in my humble opinion - tee to the hee.
My husband is an astonomer and a Mexican national with no desire for a green card, which just flabbergasts the gestapo at the border. Why? they ask, would he not want to have a green card or become an Amerkin? For the same reason I don't want to become a Mexican citizen. So we are bi-national. Is there a group for that? (chuckle)
I love being on here and roaming around and reading how wonderful my fellow atheists are...because make no mistake, we are. And now, I've joined a group in Mexico too. Wow, we rock!
Greetings one and all...
Welcome, Julie! I'm in the DFW area, too, and we have quite a few active groups up here. Given your location, the Metroplex Atheists will probably be the most convenient, but we've love you to also check out the Dallas/Plano Atheists and the Fellowship of Freethought (all on meetup.com). There are even more than just those in the area depending on location (Frisco, Fort Worth, Denton, etc) and interest (Book Club, Philosophy, and so on).
Hello, Julie! Good to meet ya! I'm down southeast in the piney woods.
Sadly, this isn't the most active of threads...But a big Texas hug (or whatever makes you most comfortable!) for all of you guys! ;) I'm in the Mid-Cities area (between Dallas and Fort Worth), and I'd love to meet anybody or get involved in any atheist/freethinker groups around! :)
Hello everyone. Fellow Texan here. Just joined and wanted to say howdy.

Coming off a disappointing season, the New York Giants have been uncharacteristically aggressive in pursuing free agents this offseason.
Cornerback Dominique Rogers-Cromartie is the biggest acquisition so far for the Giants, signing a 5-year $39 million contract, with $14 million guaranteed. Rogers-Cromartie, 27, had 33 tackles and 19 passes defended for the AFC champion Denver Broncos last year.
Big Blue finished with a 7-9 record, the first season below .500 since 2004, Eli Manning's rookie season. With $24 million dollars of salary cap room to use, it is amazing to see General Manager Jerry Reese fill the many holes on the team. Going into free agency, linebacker, the secondary, the offensive and defensive lines, wide receiver, and tight end were each positions that needed to be addressed.
Seattle Seahawks' cornerback Walter Thurmond and Broncos wide receiver and punt-return specialist Trindon Holiday have also signed recently with the Giants.
This is a bit unusual for the Giants. Rarely do they make a big splash in free agency, instead focusing on rebuilding through the draft. The last big-time free agent to sign with New York was safety Antrel Rolle back in 2010, when he signed a 5-year $37 million contract. Even when the Giants do make additions through free agency it is typically to upgrade the offensive and defensive lines.
Jon Beason is another key acquisition signing a 3-year $19 million contract with $7 million guaranteed. Traded from Carolina to the Giants in the middle of last season, the linebacker was inserted into the starting lineup almost immediately and became a catalyst for the Giants turnaround after a 0-6 start, leading the team to the 18th total defense. His resigning was important.
On the offensive side of the ball former Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings agreed to a 4 year $14 million deal with $3 million guaranteed. Soon to be 29 years old, Jennings looks to establish himself as the main running back after being the secondary back in both Jacksonville and Oakland. Jennings along with incumbents Peyton Hillis and David Wilson, will improve New York's running game, which ranked 29th out of 32 teams.
The return of receiver and Super Bowl XLVI hero Mario Manningham from the San Francisco 49ers, should fill the void left by Hakeem Nicks, who signed a one-year deal with the Colts. Manningham provides quality depth to the along with Giants receiving corps, led by star Victor Cruz.
These moves are a good start for the Giants. With some more additions from the NFL Draft, specifically at tight end, and both lines, the Giants should make a significant jump and contend for a Super Bowl.

Moon and Jupiter [1]
Long before the last blush of twilight fades away on this Christmas Eve night, two brilliant objects blaze into view in the east: the gibbous Moon and, to its lower left, the planet Jupiter. They arc high across the south during the night, drawing ever closer to each other as they do so.
Although they're the two brightest objects in the sky for most of the night, neither the Moon nor Jupiter actually shines on its own — they don't produce light like the bulbs on a Christmas tree. Instead, they shine by reflecting sunlight.
The Moon reflects very little sunlight — only about 10 percent, give or take. That means its surface is quite dark. But it's so close to Earth that it forms a big disk in our sky, so there's a lot of visible surface to reflect sunlight our way.
Jupiter is close to 2,000 times farther than the Moon, so it forms a much smaller target. But it's the largest planet in the solar system, and it's topped by bright clouds that reflect close to half of the sunlight that strikes them. So Jupiter shines brilliantly — only the Moon and the planet Venus are brighter.
One other bright object stands to the lower right of Jupiter: Aldebaran, the orange "eye" of Taurus. Although it looks fainter than Jupiter, that's only because it's farther away. Aldebaran is a giant star — one that's much bigger and brighter than the Sun. But its light is dimmed by its great distance: more than 65 light-years.
More about this bright lineup tomorrow.

Engineering & Management (E&M)
Major Advantage: integrates business management with engineering, science and technology.
Today's global marketplace requires individuals involved in the integration of technology and business management; individuals who understand engineering but are firmly grounded in the realities of business decision making.
That's where Clarkson's E&M program comes in.
E&M draws upon Clarkson's established strengths in engineering and management. The program was developed in partnership with industry leaders to meet the growing demand for individuals with strong skills in both engineering and business who can bring a broad business and technical perspective to complex business and industrial management.
How E&M Works
The E&M major is different than other undergraduate business majors in several ways:
You declare yourself an E&M major when you enroll at Clarkson, since the degree requirements take four full years to complete.
- The E&M curriculum differs slightly from the core curriculum for other business majors, and the First-Year Experience is built upon two team-based design and entrepreneurship courses designed specifically for E&M students.
- E&M students take required courses from faculty in the School of Business, the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering and the School of Arts & Sciences.
- E&M students can also enhance their education by earning a certificate in a focused E&M track in the area of construction management.
The E&M program prepares talented people for a wide range of career options within the rapidly changing technical and managerial aspects of an organization. It is ideal for those who desire breadth and flexibility in a career centered on leadership and technology.
More About E&M
The E&M program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org as well as the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), http://www.aacsb.edu. Enrollment data and graduation data are currently available.
Learn more about the curriculum, career options available to E&M graduates and where E&M alumni are working. Then schedule a campus visit or apply online.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A 10-year-old girl weighed just 32 pounds when her burned body was found last week in a trash bin, a Gwinnett County police detective testified Friday.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A 10-year-old girl weighed just 32 pounds when her burned body was found last week in a trash bin, a Gwinnett County police detective testified Friday.
The father and stepmother of Emani Moss have been charged with murder, concealing a body and child cruelty. Both were in court for a probable cause hearing Friday.
During the hearing, police Detective Collin Flynn said the girl's father, Eman Moss, told police different stories about what happened to his daughter, whose burned and emaciated body was found Saturday. Flynn said Eman Moss first told him his daughter had ingested chemicals and then claimed his wife, Tiffany, had poisoned her.
Later, Eman Moss told the detective that he had come home and found his daughter having seizures, Flynn said. Police have said they believe the girl was starved to death over the course of several days.
"At one point in the interview, he just leaned back in his chair and just said out of the blue, 'I'm guilty, I killed my baby,'" Flynn testified during the hearing.
Outside court, Eman Moss' attorney, John Burdges, would not say what his client had discussed with him or whether his client had even spoken with police, according to 11 Alive/WXIA-TV.
"I can't tell you what my client said, but it's a sad case," Burdges said.
Earlier, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Georgia's child protection agency had dismissed a report that Emani Moss had been beaten with a belt without sending caseworkers to interview her, examine her injuries or question her parents.
Agency officials characterized the beatings described by Emani Moss as "corporal punishment" and effectively ended its investigation despite four prior maltreatment investigations involving the child, including one that resulted in her stepmother's conviction on a child cruelty charge.
Her case and a separate death involving a 12-year-old boy have prompted the agency to review hundreds of cases that were closed with little or no investigation.
"The deaths of these two children are just devastating to us," the agency's director, Sharon Hill, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "My goal is to do everything in our power to make sure this doesn't happen again."
Redacted records show a DFCS worker took a call from Emani's school on May 17, 2012. The girl said that she had been beaten with a belt for eating breakfast too slowly. "The injury was identified as insignificant," the report said, "and determined to be corporal punishment."
Hill said the incident was one of several missed opportunities to help the girl. She said employees who dismissed the case should have taken the family history into account.
"When you put that together," she said, "it certainly does elevate it to a different level."

Since shortly after the introduction of the LS3 in 2008, enthusiasts everywhere have been anticipating the release of the Generation-V small block from GM. Rumors have been running rampant on everything from its displacement to its basic design. We've heard talk of direct-injection, 3-valve cylinder heads, and one point, even DOHC from a 5.5L engine displacement.
Truth be told, we're not much closer to finding out any solid facts on its specifications. However, thanks to GM Inside News and the Buffalo Business Journal, we were able to get a sneak peek of a completed Gen V small block at the Tonawanda engine plant.
The first thing in the photo that sticks out to us is the unusual valve cover design. There are a number of oddly shaped surfaces on the valve cover, none of which are identical. It could be said that this might have something to due with the 3-valve design, confirming earlier rumors. There's also an addition of a large pulley under the driver's side of the block, possibly for a dry-sump oiling system.
Looking back to the top of the motor, what looks to be the intake manifold at first glance is in actuality a sound suppressing engine cover sitting atop of the intake manifold and injectors. Nothing new there, since all current LS motors have them, but the height of the intake has us thinking it could be for a truck application. But then again, you never know.
Something else that strikes us as odd is the water pump/thermostat design, an obvious deviation the the Gen. III/IV arrangements that we're used to. We're not exactly sure the significance of the holes in the exhaust manifolds either, but the last time GM gave us those, it was to help increase emissions in the LT1 of the '90s. We doubt that the Gen. V emits potentially high emissions, rather this is just a precaution to the ever-increasing CAFE restrictions in the coming years.
Obviously we don't know the whole story yet on this new engine, but as facts become more clear to us in the future, we'll be sure to share them with you as soon once they become available.

Soul great Bobby Womack has been diagnosed with early signs of Alzheimer's disease, the BBC has reported.
The veteran singer-songwriter revealed he's been having trouble remembering song titles and names of people, and therefore sought medical advice. "The doctor said, 'You have signs of Alzheimer's,'" Womack told Gilles Peterson of BBC 6 Music. "He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse."
Womack, who's 66, recently returned to music after suffering a host of health problems, including surgery for cancer and two bouts of pneumonia. His latest album, The Bravest Man in The Universe, was released in the summer of 2012. Co-produced by Blur's Damon Albarn, the album took home the UK's Q Award for Best Album of 2012. Womack said there was a moment when he couldn't remember Albarn's last name, adding he's had trouble recalling his material. "How can I not remember songs I wrote?" Womack said. "That's frustrating."
Womack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

I don't know how I missed getting their marriage record when I was last there in 1999! Anyway, on the drive back to Indiana from Nelson County, Kentucky I stopped at the courthouse in Owenton, Owen County, which is south of Gallatin County which is directly across the Ohio River from Switzerland County, Indiana. On the south wall of a small room in the Clerk's office were several shelves of marriage books. There was a very large marriage register that simply listed the marriages in date sequence, giving the names of the brides and grooms for each marriage and stating whether a bond had been filed.
Looking closely at the books on the shelves I saw that there were some books of Minister Returns and for Permissions. After a bit of searching, I found the books for the time period that Samuel and Susanna were married - 1821. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the book for the Permissions as it contained the original documents! The individual slips of paper were encapsulated in plastic with four or five per page and they were filed by year, sort of.
Susanna Ball would have been 23 years old and Samuel Bray was 24 at the time of their marriage. Since she was over the age of 21, I really didn't expect to find a permission slip, but it was quite interesting to look at the documents. So it was pretty cool when I found the small slip of paper where James Ball gave his consent for Samuel Bray to marry his daughter! The only other record that I had that she was the daughter of James and Margaret was a transcription of Bible pages in Margaret's widows pension file. The only factor that I can think of as to why a permission slip would be needed for their marriage is that they were first cousins. What other reason would there be for needing a permission slip if both parties were over 21 years of age?
"I do hereby certify that James Ball consented in my presence that Samuel Bray Should intermarry with his daughter Susannah Ball. Augt 29th 1821. Jacob Ball." (Owen County, Kentucky Permission Slips 1819-1853 accessed May 19, 2012.)Having had success with the Permission Slips, I moved on to the Minister Returns. It also contained the original documents, which were somewhat larger slips of paper encapsulated in plastic.
The drive from Bardstown to Owenton on the state roads through the hills of Kentucky was beautiful - especially with the sunshine and blue skies. But the icing on the cake was finding these documents... it was definitely a fruitful day. And yes, I had to restrain my enthusiasm while at the Clerks Office but a little "happy dance" ensued once I got out to the parking lot!"Kentucky Owen CountyI James Medley a minister of the gospel legally authorised to Solemnize marriage do Certify that pursuant to a licence Issued from the office of the Clerk of Owen County Court I this day joined in marriage Samuel Bray of the state Indiana and Susannah Ball of said County given under my hand this 29th day Augu 1821 [signed by] James Medley" (Owen County, Kentucky Minister Returns 1819-1836 accessed May 19, 2012.)

Read at your own risk.
My kitchen has developed spontaneous maggots. I was away over the weekend and came home to discover a rather unpleasant smell in my kitchen. Conclusion: something has gone off in the kitchen - so I got rid of anything and everything I could think of that might be causing the smell, the potatoes in the cupboard, the waste bucket, the jars and things sitting on the bench awaiting being washed out prior to being taken to the recycling, the vegies in the fridge, everything. I was tired as buggery so I didn't go into the kitchen again the rest of the evening.
The next morning when I got up for work I found a whole bunch of dead flies all over the place. Now, I don't [let] flies in my flat if I can at all avoid it, I have a somewhat advanced germ-phobia and distinct disinclination to use poisonous chemical sprays, so the only alternative is to try and ensure that no flies get inside. Unfortunately one or two got in when I was carrying my stuff out prior to going away for the weekend, but surely not as many as I found dead all over my flat. Oh yes, and the one big green bastard sitting on the spout of my kettle who I cuaght and tossed outside (I have a jar for this express purpose).
Then I saw the maggots. There were a whole bunch of maggots crawling around on my kitchen becnhtop. Most of them over in the corner where the smell seemed to be coming from, but also scattered across the bench top and sink on that side of the room. Conclusion: the flies had gotten in somehow - possibly through the kitchen window (I left it open slightly to air the place out, and the frame around the fly-screen is a little bent, so there's a bit of gap) and probably attracted by the smell of whatever it was that had gone off.
I cracked out the vaccuum cleaner and sucked all the little bastards up. Checked under and around everything on the bench to make sure I'd got 'em all, banged the knife-block on the bench to dislodge any that might have been inside it, made sure there were absolutely no maggots left. Then I went to get ready for work. Each time I came back to the kitchen there was another maggot, just sitting there in the middle of the bench-top where no maggots had been only minutes before.
I got 'em all and went to work. Checked again when I got home. No maggots. Conclusion: I'd finally gotten 'em all.
So I disinfected the counter-top, washed up everything that had been sitting on the side, chucked out the toaster just in case (it didn't work properly anyway). Looked inside all the cupboards to make sure there was no evidence of maggots in 'em. Everything was nice and clean and I returned the knife-block and milkshake-maker to their usual places in the corner and went to bed.
Got up this morning, went to get ready for work. Saw a mark on the counter I'd cleaned last night. Lifted up the milk-shake maker: maggots. Lifted up the knifeblock: more maggots. Checked everywhere else they'd been yesterday: clean. Conclusion: the maggots must be coming from somewhere inside either the knife-block or the milkshake-maker.
I spent about two hours this morning, pouring boiling water through my knife-block, unscrewing but failing to remove the back of my milkshake-maker and blitzing maggots that kept turning up in random places on the counter-top, same places they'd been yesterday, same trick of randomly appearing somewhere that had been clear only minutes before. Conclusion: maybe maggots can move really, really fast?
I left the knife-block and milkshake-maker in a bag (in a box) on the floor and re-checked that there were no more maggots visible anywhere and went to work and hour late.
I went home at lunch-time and found maggots in the corner where I'd first found 'em this morning - which was completely clear of anything that may have been previously harbouring maggots. There was nothing there at all, but there were maggots from somewhere! They got vaccuumed.
Conclusion: there is something dead in the wall or ceiling that has maggots breeding in it and they're dropping through a gap into my kitchen.
So I went to the Real Estate agents who manage the flats I live in and told them about it and asked for someone to come do something about it ASAP. The chick from the Real Estate came 'round, I told her the whole story, with great agitation, her conclusion? The maggots are there because of the potatoes that had been in the cupboard and I should just get some fly spray and hope that kills 'em all. Apparently she believes in spontaneous generation, or else wasn't listening when I kept insisting that I'd gotten rid of all the maggots and then more appeared from nowhere! Although she did say that if I buy some spray and they still keep coming back I should let them know.
I have nothing in my kitchen that smells bad! I have nothing in my kitchen that those maggots could have come from! Maggots do not just spontaneously happen on an empty bench-top!
So now I have to get some poison and spray it all over my kitchen, you know, where I keep and prepare food, not to mention kill the spiders that I allow to live in the corners of the ceiling 'coz they're harmless and eat any insects that manage to get inside, and just hope the problem goes away. Wish me luck with that.
I hope there's no maggots inside my cupboards.

Every man should own at least one good pair of shorts. Comfortable and relaxed, they're the perfect fair-weather fall-back, and, as MR PORTER's Style Director Mr Dan May demonstrates in our new video, there are a number of ways to wear them. To illustrate this point, we have chosen J.Crew's Stanton chino shorts. Constructed from rugged cotton twill, they are available on MR PORTER in a wide range of colours, but to emphasise their versatility we've chosen just one: a sun-bleached shade of lobster pink that brings to mind an East Coast sensibility, and imparts a summery, preppy flavour to each of our five looks. Shorts are inherently informal, and will likely never be appropriate for dinner at The Ritz, but it's possible nevertheless to dress them up or down to suit a variety of laid-back summer scenarios. Watch the video, above, or read on to find out more.

Irene van Dyk's family will delay the funeral of her mother - who died in the hours before Monday night's epic preliminary final win over the Mystics - to allow the star shooter to play in the transtasman netball final.
Van Dyk will travel with her teammates to Melbourne for the championship decider on Sunday and then head to South Africa on Monday morning.
Her mother, also named Irene, will be farewelled in her hometown of Meyerton next week.
The Magic yesterday dedicated their thrilling overtime win in the ANZ Championship preliminary final to van Dyk's mother.
"While it was devastating for me to hear the news, I was comforted to know Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep and that my sister Janita and brother Harry were with her," van Dyk said.
"I knew Mum would have wanted me to carry on with the game - she has always been a huge supporter of my netball and I wanted to win last night's game for her."
Teammates rallied around van Dyk, who slotted the crucial goal in the hard-fought match to draw the game 44-all and force it into extra time. The Magic won 57-48 to book their spot in the final with an 11th consecutive win.
"I have to see this through and the family back home are also very supportive," said van Dyk, 40.
Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic chief executive Sheryl Dawson paid tribute to the composure shown by the goal shoot.
"Irene, as always, was a consummate professional who put her team before all else despite her immense sadness having lost her Mum," she said.
"We are so fortunate to be blessed with such a strong and amazing player and we will be doing everything we can to support Irene."
Having earned the right to host the grand final more than a week ago, the Vixens believe they will have a huge advantage over the Magic in the final. While the Magic were forced to play five quarters to subdue the Mystics in Auckland, the minor premier Vixens have been relaxing and preparing on home turf.
"We had a hard practice match on Friday night but we've now got the week off to recover and prepare for the game so I think it's a massive advantage for us," Vixens skipper Bianca Chatfield said.
"It's a six-day turnaround for them as well as the travel."
The Vixens could become the first team to win two transtasman titles since the competition started in 2008.
It will be the Magic's third grand final appearance after losing to the NSW Swifts in 2008 and the Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2010.
Chatfield wanted a strong start but felt confident her team could match any team at the end. staff reporter

I just got a 87 XT GL-10 Turbo, First and formost I need to work on the suspension....it is "Air" The left side has some lift to it and the right front, does too. RR has none, I have gone through the threads and I am going to check this out and try and fix it with some help, from my electrical savy buddy.
But, if this does not work, can I use a 88 wagon non adjustable coil overs, on this 87? Front and rear?
Any spare parts out there for sale?
Any other help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The air suspension system is a common prob, i think its usualy the air bags that go. You can swap them for coil overs from another ea82 just fine, its probably not worth trying to fix the air suspension.
Posted 02 March 2005 - 10:07 PM
I wouldn't use the struts from a wagon because it will raise your ride height. You should find some from another XT.

Roy's One-Way Ticket: Los Angeles Dodgers
Latest Status: Interested, but not in Full Salary Roy
LA Times (6/15):
That the Dodgers don't almost desperately need (Lee or Oswalt) in their rotation isn't even an issue. That the Dodgers will, or can, actually make a legitimate bid for either sadly doesn't even appear on the radar. With Seattle's Lee, a deal probably would require several top prospects, which the Dodgers currently have a dearth of. With Houston's Oswalt, it requires serious cash, which owner Frank McCourt has been a wee bit tight with of late.
Ed Price (6/15):
A person who knows Roy Oswalt guessed Oswalt could end up traded to the Dodgers. Oswalt is friends with ex-Dodger Brad Penny, who could help sell Oswalt on L.A. -- if the Dodgers can find the cash to pay Oswalt. Or -- as they have done in other recent trades -- the Dodgers could give up significant prospects and have Houston pay much of Oswalt's future salary.
Yahoo's Tim Brown (6/10):
That means dealing with Oswalt's no-trade rights. And that means the Astros have no current plans to defray the cost of the 32-year old right-hander. Oswalt is due whatever would remain of $15 million this season, $16 million next season and a $16 million option (with a $2 million buyout) in 2012. That's too rich for Frank McCourt, or so it would seem.
LA Times (6/10):
The Dodgers aren't in the mix to trade for Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt. At least not at the moment. Among the reasons is money. The Astros are saying that any team that wants to acquire Oswalt will have to take on all of what remains on his contract, according to a baseball source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
LA Times (5/26):
The Dodgers have asked the Seattle Mariners about Cliff Lee and the Houston Astros about Roy Oswalt. The response from the Mariners and the Astros has been the same: We're not about to trade our guy just yet, but we'll get back to you if and when we do.
Even if the Dodgers were to agree to take on salary, the chances of a trade could depend on how deeply the Mariners and Astros wish to rebuild. The Dodgers' top prospects are at the lower levels of the minor leagues, so the team would be an unlikely trade partner should the Mariners or Astros want a trade package to feature talent ready for the major leagues.
Tony Jackson (5/25):
Despite widespread speculation, the Los Angeles Dodgers are not in active talks with the Houston Astros about pitcher Roy Oswalt, who let it be known publicly last week that he wants out of the city where he has spent his 10-year major league career.
Forbes (5/24):
If the Rangers ownership situation was settled, I would speculate that Oswalt would make the short move across Texas. It certainly would be a shame for their ownership woes to cause them to lose out on this opportunity. If I had to call it right now, I'd say Oswalt joins Torre in the City of Angels.
LA Times (5/23):
Torre can't flat out say he wants Oswalt, at least not publicly. But his eyes fairly twinkle when you ask what Oswalt could do for a team.
"He's one of those No. 1 guys," Torre said. "When you have one of the guys of that quality — like Roy Halladay was talked about last year, or Cliff Lee — for certain that type of pitcher changes the way not only you look at yourself, but the way other clubs look at you."
Does (GM Ned Colletti) have a sense as to whether the Dodgers would be in the market for an ace like Oswalt?
"I do have a sense," Colletti said.
FanHouse (5/23), quoting GM Ned Colletti:
"I sense we'll be in the market for pitching after the All-Star Break."
Colletti declined comment when asked if he and Astros GM Ed Wade have discussed a potential swap involving Astros ace Roy Oswalt, who's asked Wade to deal him.
LA Times (5/22):
Despite his request and the Dodgers' need, there's about as much chance of Oswalt being traded here as Lindsay Lohan winning an award as Citizen of the Year. Oswalt is costly, and the Dodgers haven't shown any interest in spending serious cash in a long time. And with the owners undergoing a contemptuous divorce, there is no reason to think that will change soon...The Dodgers, of course, are a contending team. Unlikely or not, it at least has to be worth a phone call.

The Dodgers seem most likely at the moment. They meet Roy's qualification (true playoff contender) and also have Brad Ausmus. I'm sure Roy would love Ausmus to be his personal catcher over there.
LA does have the pieces to make a deal. Whether that involves young major league guys (along the lines of Loney and/or Ely), prospects (they have lots of pitching prospects and a couple middle infielders), or both.
They also have a large market and a payroll $16M lower than it was last season.
The only real question in my mind is whether their owner's divorce situation would get in the way. It's less likely to disrupt the trade than the Rangers' ownership problems, but it still could be an issue. We'll have to wait and see.

Agreed - the Dodgers make the most sense, and that linked LA Times (by the esteemed Bill Shaikin) outlines the position as to why it could work. Payroll is down significantly from last year in LA, and with the Dodgers going on a tear (aided by the Astros, of course), Frank McCourt may be willing to pull the trigger - but closer to the All-Star Game - divorce be damned.

- Kelsey said...
One thing to think about is that Manny Ramirez and Vincente Padilla are both free agents after this year.Combined their salary is a little over 25 million.I think if we pick up the rest of Oswalt's salary for this year. Next year if they paid for Oswalt's salary and didn't resign Manny then they would actually net $4 million. Just a thought. Maybe would could get something of value in return.

|Recipient of presidential award killed at his matab
|[Dawn] An octogenarian hakeem, a recipient of the presidential award, was bumped off at his clinic in Federal B Area on Wednesday after the attacker failed to find the victim's son, a leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami

independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...

The seventh-ranked Michigan Wolverines put their undefeated mark at the Crisler Center on the line on Sunday afternoon when they entertain the Illinois Fighting Illini in a Big Ten Conference showdown.
After starting its Big Ten slate a lackluster 2-7, Illinois (20-8) has caught fire in recent weeks with five straight wins, its most recent coming in a 64-59 home defeat of Penn State on Thursday night. The Illini have racked up their share of signature wins this season, having taken down elite conference foes Indiana and Ohio State as well as non-conference ranked squads Gonzaga and Butler.
After being named the top-ranked team in the country in late January, Michigan faltered in three out of four to dip to 22-4 and fall back in the Big Ten standings. The Wolverines bounced back last Sunday with a 79-71 home win over Penn State to improve to 9-4 in the league, and they are now 15-0 at the Crisler Center this season and 30-1 at home over the past two campaigns.
Michigan has defeated Illinois on four straight occasions, including 74-60 on Jan. 27 in Champaign. The Illini still lead the all-time series over the Wolverines, 85-75.
Although Illinois never led PSU by double-digits in its latest bout, it also never surrendered its advantage after halftime as it held on for the five- point win. It was a rather lackluster offensive effort for the team, as it made less than 40 percent of its field-goal attempts (including just 7-of-24 from 3-point range). The difference was made at the foul line, where it outscored the Nittany Lions, 23-9. D.J. Richardson connected on all but one of his nine free-throw attempts and finished with 18 points, while Brandon Paul added 16 points in the winning effort. On the season, the Illini score the fourth-most points in the conference (71.2 ppg), but while their scoring defense may appear impressive by most standards (65.1 ppg), in the treacherous Big Ten it ranks just 11th. The guard-heavy squad is led by the efforts of Paul, who nets 16.4 ppg, while also pitching in 4.3 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.3 spg and 0.7 bpg. Richardson adds 12.9 ppg, and he and Paul have combined for 126 3- pointers. Tracy Abrams also nets in double figures with 10.6 ppg.
Michigan experienced a bit of a scare against last-place PSU it last time out, as the teams went into halftime tied, but after shooting just 36 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes, the Wolverines improved to 58.3 percent shooting after intermission as they pulled away for the eight-point win. Trey Burke was outstanding once again, shooting 9-of-16 from the field and 8-of-9 from the foul line for 29 points, and he's now just 13 points away from becoming the 47th player in school history (and just the seventh sophomore) to score 1,000 in his career. Glenn Robinson III tallied a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Nik Stauskas was also stellar with 18 points. Michigan's dominating season has shown through both its scoring (76.2 ppg) and scoring defense (61.4 ppg), and it also boasts great rebounding (+5.2) and turnover (+2.7) margins. Burke is well on his way to an All-American selection at season's end, as he shoots nearly 49 percent from the field for 18.6 ppg while handing out 179 assists (6.9 pg) to only 47 turnovers. Tim Hardaway, Jr. is also in the midst of an outstanding season with 15.2 ppg. Not to be lost in the shuffle are Stauskas (12.2 ppg, .470 3PT percentage) and Robinson (11.3 ppg, 5.6 ppg).

It's SOOOOOOO slow at work today, and there's so little content to be had in mid-June...post something for everyone else to read. Anything interesting, funny, OT...just in (relatively) good taste. I've read the whole site now, I think.
Edit: In case some mod thinks we don't need two pos-bang threads (because there's sooo much going on today) Michfan1997 demands an MGoJen update. (OK, demands might be too strong a word...powerfully requests?)
Incidently, trying to add that to the subject too, I have found out there IS a limit to how long a subject in a post can be.
