Doug Williams Getting Some Love
February 12, 2013 at 01:22am by Scott • 1 Comment »
Did you know there was a timeline of Doug Williams's career on NFL.com? I'm going to go ahead and say it's for Black History Month and not because Williams died and I missed it. That would be kind of embarrassing.
Each slide comes with extra videos or photos, some of which already existed and only tangentially have anything to do with Williams. But some are really good and the best is the Doug Williams Scrapbook, which is a fascinating tour through his time at Grambling. A couple different articles refer to Williams as the "Black Joe Namath", which I would find insulting if I were Williams. Not because of the racial thing, but just because Williams was better than Namath. Better arm, better accuracy and better mobility. By which I mean ANY mobility at all. The only thing holding Namath's knees together was venereal disease.
I don't know if his name ever comes up in the discussions, but it seems like Williams would be a good candidate for a Hall of Fame induction. Not necessarily because of his stats on the field. I don't think he has near what he would need to get in on that basis. But for historic reasons, they might want to consider it. Can you tell the story of the NFL without Doug Williams? Fritz Pollard is in as a player, but not because he was a particularly exceptional player, but because of his historical significance. Williams getting drafted in the first round was a big deal. Starting and winning a Super Bowl was an even bigger deal. Just because we are almost 100 years removed from the founding of the league doesn't mean that we've stopped reaching milestones that deserve some recognition. I'm not saying I'm 100% on board with him getting into Canton just yet, just that it's probably time to have the discussion.
Johnson > Williams

There's nothing going on with the Bucs today that qualifies as news or even interesting, so here's a mostly historical piece from Pat Yasinskas that compares what's going on with the offense now with the offenses of the past. And as you might guess, it compares very favorably.
What's happened in the past five games has vaulted the Bucs into the league lead in average yards per play (6.21). They're averaging 28.9 points per game, which ranks them behind only New England (see Brady, Tom) and Denver (see Manning, Peyton). Speaking of Peyton Manning, he's second in the league with an average of 8.20 yards per pass attempt. Freeman is No. 1 at 8.27.
There are some interesting nuggets in the piece and it's worth a read, but I had to take issue with one part.
Even back during the first rise to prominence (1979), Tampa Bay was much more defined by Lee Roy Selmon and the defense than it was by the offense and Doug Williams.
Speaking of Williams, he was the best quarterback in franchise history — until Freeman's emergence.
That's just not true. Williams is fondly remembered because he was tough and gritty and brought the Bucs from worst to first and won a Super Bowl for the Redskins. But as a quarterback for the Bucs, Brad Johnson win hands down. Williams had a Buccaneer passer rating of 66.2, Johnson had 83.2. Williams's completion percentage was 47.4, Johnson's was 61.8. Williams threw 73 TDs and 73 INTs in five years while in four years Johnson threw 64 TDs and 41 INTs. And Johnson has a Super Bowl ring with a Bucs logo on it. After Freeman gets his fourth season behind him, we can compare him with the others and see if Freeman makes the jump to the top of the heap. But before him, you have to go with The Bull.
"I Know They Wanted Mark Sanchez."
February 22, 2011 at 09:31am by Scott • 1 Comment »
When Doug Williams left the Buccaneers last May, it was passed off as a mutual decision, but he obviously got fired. There was something more to the story that we were only going to find out when Williams got a job good enough to where he wouldn't want to be re-hired by the Bucs again. And now that Williams has been named the Grambling State head coach again, we can finally learn what happened.
Williams indicated he didn't feel like he had a very big voice in the Bucs' front office decisions during his six-year tenure in Tampa Bay.
"People in other offices have a chance to get their ear," he said. "The guys like me don't get their ear. Other folks can tell them something because that's what they want to hear. You know me; I've always been one to say what I thought as right, and not everybody can deal with what's right."
I like Williams and everything, but this whole victim routine he does is getting a little old. It's always about how he's not getting a fair shake and, usually because of race, how he's being held back. He was a first-round draft pick, he's been a Super Bowl MVP, he's been a college head coach, he's been an NFL front office executive. If someone is holding him back, they're doing a piss poor job at it.
One interesting bit in this interview is some insight into 2009's war room where there was a debate going on as to which quarterback to take. Williams reveals that the Glazers wanted Mark Sanchez instead of Josh Freeman
"I laugh, when I hear them talk about Josh Freeman," Williams said. "I know they wanted Mark Sanchez. I sat right there while they were talking about trading up and getting Sanchez and all these different scenarios. Raheem was the strongest guy in there (pushing for Freeman). I remember the owners asking me which quarterback I liked. I said, 'If you want someone to play right now, take Sanchez. But I think over the long haul, Josh is going to be better,' and I think he's proven that. Raheem had the strongest conviction because he had been around the kid (at Kansas State)."
There were potted plants at Radio City Music Hall that I liked better than Freeman at the time, so Williams is obviously a better talent evaluator than me. And the Bucs wound up taking Freeman instead of Sanchez, so I'm not exactly sure why he brings this up in a conversation about how his opinion is ignored, but whatever. Coaching seems to be what Williams loves and what he's best at, so maybe he'll do like his mentor Eddie Robinson did and stay there for the rest of his career. He'll be loved and admired, but the only drawback is that he won't have anything to bitch about.
Bucs Need To Give Brooks Love
August 11, 2010 at 01:56pm by Scott • 3 Comments »
I make a lot of fun of Pat Yasinskas, and I will continue to do so because at any given opportunity, but the piece he did about the Buccaneers' obligation to Derrick Brooks is absolutely spot on.
The Bucs — and I'm talking everyone from ownership to the front office to the public relations department — have to hit this one out of the park. Seriously, it's that important. A team that needs to sell tickets and win back its fan base needs the best player in franchise history and it needs to keep him for the long term.
The Bucs need to do this, and not just because of the revenue implications. It's just the right thing to do.
Multiple people close to the situation have told me there was an attempt by Brooks to come into One Buccaneer Place soon after his release that was blocked from very high levels.
That's almost criminal. If anyone should have a lifetime pass to One Buccaneer Place, it is Brooks.
If that's true, that's fucking disgusting. What did they thing he was going to do, go in there and tear up the place? BROOKS? Honestly, there's no reason why any former player who was with the team for a season or two shouldn't be allowed in there. It's not Area 51 — there aren't any military secrets or captive aliens to keep hidden. At worst, someone would discover Joel Glazer's shoe fetish.
When he walks out of One Buccaneer Place on Thursday, Brooks needs to feel like he's part of the organization. If this thing comes off as some kind of insincere gesture, Brooks, a man of tremendous pride, is going to walk out of that building for the final time and keep his distance from the team.
Yes, yes and yes. It's not too late to announce a Derrick Brooks Day as the theme to a home game this season. They did it for Mike Alstott, they should do it for Brooks. I'll even go one step further and say that if they don't do something of a similar caliber for Brooks that they did for Alstott, people could interpret it as having some kind of racial undertone as the reason. Not to take anything away from Alstott, but Brooks was a better player than Alstott, period. He was with the team longer and more of a team leader. The only difference in Alstott's favor is that he retired injured instead of being cut like Brooks. That shouldn't matter.
It took years after Doug Williams' original departure for the wounds to heal. The team accomplished that when they brought Williams back as a personnel guy. Then, they absolutely blew that bridge up again when they pushed Williams out the door a few months back.
I live in Tampa and I know this for a fact. Williams walked into a Tampa barber shop recently and was giving away the last of his Buccaneers' golf shirts and saying he'll never wear them again. That's a shame and it probably never should have come to that point. But it has and it's too late to repair the latest Williams fiasco.
Man, Williams must feel like the Buccaneers' chew toy. Maybe it's not all their fault. Williams may have thought he deserved a role with more responsibility or maybe he thought more of his own skills as a personnel man than he should have. You can't placate a person when it comes to making business decisions. But there was probably a way to salvage the relationship for the sake of Williams's historical importance to the team and still relieve him of his duties if he wasn't performing well. There had to have been a better answer than whatever went down to make him give away all traces of his time with the Bucs.
With the throwback games and alumni days and the Ring of Honor, the Bucs have done a great job over the last couple years in embracing their past and keeping long-time fans interested. They can't fuck up their relationship with Brooks. Lee Roy Selmon won't live forever and then who have they got as a tie to their successful past? Someone like Al Davis can afford to piss off a Hall of Famer like Marcus Allen because the Raiders have so many other former Raiders who are both successful as players and still loyal to the team. Who do the Bucs have? Warren Sapp says he still bleeds red and pewter, but if there's one guy whose temperament you don't want to have to bank on, it's Sapp. Maybe John Lynch, but I haven't heard a peep from the guy since he did his retirement announcement at One Buc. Anyone seen Paul Gruber lately? The names run out pretty damn fast in Tampa. The Bucs cannot fuck this up. Stroke Brooks's ego and keep him close to the franchise.
REAR ENTRIES: Literally
June 28, 2010 at 11:45am by Scott • 8 Comments »
FSU TO RETIRE BROOKS'S NUMBER: Florida State is set to retire Derrick Brooks's #10 jersey this season. They'll do it in a ceremony at the home game against Clemson.
"I'm excited about it and I'm looking forward to it,'' Brooks said Friday afternoon. "A lot of people did a lot of work to help me get these accomplishments.''
I've always found it a little weird when a player gets his number retired after someone else has already worn it. I'm no FSU historian or anything, but I know Geno Hayes wore #10 recently. There were probably several others as well between 1994 and 2009. "No one else will wear this jersey but Derrick except the eight or nine other guy who already did." I remember when Tennessee retired Peyton Manning's jersey in 2005. They had it all framed and everything and the only thing I could think of is how they were able to get Rick Clausen's stink off of it.
DOUG WILLIAMS IS A GM: The good news is that Doug Williams got a gig he's always wanted: general manager. The bad news is that it's for a UFL expansion team.
Williams, who guided the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XXII and was named the game's MVP, will be in charge of getting the team up and running, including signing players and coaches, and hiring other organization personnel.
So he's pretty much in complete control. I'll probably pay attention to this club when they start playing because it will be Williams's own vision of how a team should look and run. Whether it succeeds or fails will be totally on his head, and it will be interesting to see if the Bucs made a good decision in letting him or or if they should have given him more responsibility. That's assuming his new team even plays.
The UFL League board gave conditional approval for Norfolk, Virginia, to host a sixth team.
I wonder what the conditions are. That the owner comes up with the franchise fee? That they can find a place to play? That they don't give the team a stupid fucking name like the Tuskers? That's got to be it.
TANARD JACKSON KNOCKED UP A PORN STAR: I don't know who the hell MediaTakeOut.com is or if they're at all reliable, but I would imagine that for Tanard Jackson's name to get mentioned, there has to be some level to truth to it. It's not like the paparazzi are sitting outside Jackson's house waiting for him to get the mail or something.
MediaTakeOut.com learned that Tanard Jackson, the starting defensive back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has a new BABYS MOTHER – an adult film star named JEMINI.
But this story isn't a SAD one. We're told that Tanarad [Come on – ed.] has agreed to STEP UP and keep both Jemini and their child in his life.
Eeewwwwww. Jackson is going to fly across the field and and crash into player after player at an effective speed of 60 MPH several times per week for 16 weeks, putting his physical and mental health in danger every single time, and still that's not a tenth as risky as banging a porn star without a condom. I would rather slather my cock with honey and fuck a fire ant pile than take that kind of chance.
Jackson is playing a cruel trick on me here because I've been begging one of these Buccaneers to hook up with a porn star or a centerfold so I would have some relevant clickys to work with (I have since severely relaxed this requirement.) But when I go searching for pictures of Jemini, almost every single usable one has a dick in it. And, sorry ladies, bloggers feel inadequate enough without posting photos of cocks so long that they have elbows. And the only other ones of her look like you're driving into the Holland Tunnel, so I'm just going to pretend that I couldn't find any and go with a classier clicky selection. Feel free to seek the pics out on your own, though. Fag.
Doug Williams Leaves The Bucs
May 12, 2010 at 09:18am by Scott • 5 Comments »
For the second time in 18 years, Doug Williams is out the door of One Buc. Last time, Williams was refused a completely reasonable contract that was in-line with other starting quarterbacks in the league. He went on to become the MVP of Super Bowl XXII for the Redskins while the Bucs sank into 17 years of losing. This time, Williams is leaving his position as Director of Pro Personnel in an apparently mutual decision. So I'm guessing in five years or so, Williams will be the GM of an NFL dynasty somewhere as every one of his free agent signings makes the Pro Bowl while a sinkhole forms under Raymond James Stadium.
"Mark and I have sat down and talked about my future," Williams said in the statement. "After a lot of thought, I felt that it was the right time for me to look at new options. I wish nothing but the best for the Buccaneers."
This is a huge load, you know. If he was leaving of his own accord, he would have said something. "I want to spend more time with my family" or "I really want to get back into coaching" or something like that. Williams interviewed for the head coaching job with Southern University this past January; he probably knew his time was up at that point. Mark Dominik probably said that they were going to be reorganizing the front office and that Williams wasn't in their plans. It was reported around that time that Williams was given a one-year contract extension, which was a red flag in itself since it was just for a year. It turns out even that was false.
There was a report that he had signed a contract extension with the Bucs, but a team source said that never happened. The source said Williams and Dominik hadn't seen eye-to-eye on personnel matters for a long time.
The Times article expands on this a little:
After returning to Tampa to work under then-Bucs general manager Allen in 2004, Williams hoped he was on a path that would lead to a GM post. But he often met resistance when seeking an expanded role in the front office, causing frequent frustration. That continued under Dominik, after Allen was fired in January 2009. Williams' role was mainly evaluating free agents and other possible acquisitions, but he did not appear to be involved in decision making.
Williams's responsibilities were always a little unclear, at least to me. Of course, I'm terribly dumb, so I could just be missing it. But in Williams's time as Director of Pro Personnel, the Bucs signed fewer free agents than ever. Was it a coincidence that this was the same period the Bucs determined they were going to rebuild through the draft? And before that, who was Williams really responsible for scouting and acquiring, draft or free agent? I think he gets credit for Josh Johnson, but I can't think of anyone else.
My totally baseless theory is that Jon Gruden liked having the old veterans around, and hiring Williams to do something, anything was his idea. He was able to finagle Williams a front office job, but when it turned out that Williams either wasn't that good at it or just didn't fit, they didn't want to piss off the old fans by dumping him yet again, so they kept him around as a figurehead. But just like the players, no one is sacred now and Dominik pulled the plug on Gruden's novelty hire.
In any event, I wish Williams well in whatever he decides to do. It's a little late in the offseason for him to get a job for 2010, but we'll probably hear something about him in December or January. In the meantime, maybe a fan out there who owns his own business can find a job for him doing something. I'd hate to think he has enough free time on his hands to brew up another 17 year curse.
UPDATED: This Guy, I Call Him The Chattinator
February 18, 2010 at 09:42am by Scott • No Comments »
If you've always wanted to ask Jon Gruden a question but were afraid that he would eat your face, your chance arrives Friday at 1:00PM EST when Jon will host a chat on ESPN.com. Want to know what he thinks of Raheem Morris's coaching job or Mark Dominik's personnel moves? Or who he thinks the Bucs need to draft in the first round? Or if he really does laugh all the way to the bank or if that's just an expression? Now's your chance.
On Friday, former NFL head coach and current Monday Night Football analyst, Jon Gruden stops by to chat as part of ESPN.com's tribute to Black History Month.
Umm…. really? Black History Month? I realize there's no Gingers With Blonde Hair Month when Jon can get his due recognition, but this seems weird.
On February 20, Jon will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the inaugural enshrinement ceremony for the Black College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA.
Ohhhhh, okay. I guess it kind of makes sense now. It's actually kind of funny. A short white guy has to get dressed up in a tuxedo like a butler to introduce and announce famous black guys for awards. Deacon Jones should tell Gruden to go fetch him some water, just on principle.
UPDATE: Oh, hey, Doug Williams is also hosting a chat for the same reason — the Black College Football Hall of Fame. His is Friday @ 4:00. Ask him how long he's been a black quarterback, that's always fun. Or how close he ever came to beating the hell out of Jay Schroeder. I'll bet the answer is "really damn close".
Is it wrong that I didn't give Williams his own entry? I swear I didn't see that he was doing a chat until I had already posted the Gruden thing. God, I feel so guilty.
Didn't You Just Sign An Extension?
January 14, 2010 at 09:03am by Scott • No Comments »
Okay, I think I've calmed down from my Kiffin-induced day-long mental breakdown yesterday. I appreciate you all indulging me, even you Gator or Southern Cal fans and even the ones that took the opportunity to point and laugh. I'll continue to follow the Tennessee story on here, but I'm not going to do it for a full day anymore. Keeping up with it actually cut into my porn time, and that's where I draw the line.
Rich Bisaccia has been the one getting the Buc-related media attention for the USF head coaching job, but it's Doug Williams who is going to have a real interview with them. The same Doug Williams who just signed a one-year contract extension which essentially ended his flirtation with Southern University.
Williams, the Bucs pro personnel director, interviewed with a search committee hired by USF for 2 1/2 hours in Orlando.
There's no way USF does this without the Bucs' permission whether they technically needed it or not. USF and the Buccaneers are pretty tight. So I guess the Bucs don't really care whether he stays or goes. "Yeah, you can work here for another year. Or not. Whatever."
The Bulls attraction to Williams is obvious. He has a long association with the Tampa Bay community, was a Super Bowl MVP with the Washington Redskins and the first African American quarterback to win an NFL title.
I'm not really sure why him being the first African American quarterback to win a Super Bowl is a point of attraction for the Bulls. Maybe it helps with recruiting other black quarterbacks? Because it's not like that's so rare anymore. I'd think the more important thing USF would look at is whether or not he can, you know, coach. What kind of offense would he run? Who would he want for a defensive coordinator? Where does he have recruiting contacts? How many players can he grab by the throat at once? These are the things they should be concerning themselves with.
This is Williams's second coaching interview this offseason. It's pretty evident that he's got the coaching bug again and would prefer to do that over his current job — whatever that may be. It sounds like the Bucs know that and extended him as a courtesy in case he can't land a coaching gig.
Doug Williams Took The Extension
December 31, 2009 at 11:28pm by Scott • 1 Comment »
It didn't take Doug Williams too long to decide that sticking with a front office job in the NFL is preferable to sweating the sidelines of a SAC school.
"I weighed my options and realized the NFL is best for me at this time," Williams said. "I like what I've seen from some of the young (Bucs) players, and especially the quarterback (rookie Josh Freeman)."
You've got to believe that either this is a contract that the Glazers don't mind eating if they hire someone like Bill Cowher who will demand full control, or Raheem Morris is reasonably safe. A win on Sunday definitely secures Morris, and even a competitive loss would be enough. I think the Bucs have to lose big to keep Morris from getting the cane.
REAR ENTRIES: None Of This Is Interesting
December 30, 2009 at 12:35pm by Scott • 1 Comment »
BUCS SIGN SAFETY: The Bucs claimed safety De'von Hall off of waivers from the Colts yesterday to take the spot of one of the players put on injured reserve on Monday. Hall went undrafted out of Utah State this year, has a total of three tackles this season so far for the Colts and will probably just play on special teams snaps on Sunday if he dresses at all. But at least his name has an apostrophe.
DOUG WILLIAMS OFFERED EXTENSION: Okay, I know Doug Williams has the title of "Pro Personnel Director", but I have to tell you, I don't know what the fuck Williams does for the team. Does he scout? Does he recruit free agents? Does he negotiate contracts? I take it from the "pro" part of his title that he has no say in the draft. WHAT DOES HE DO? Well, whatever he does, the Glazers think he should do it for one more year and offered him a contract extension. This comes on the heels of his interview for the head coaching position of Southern University.
Credit the Glazer family and general manager Mark Dominik for recognizing Williams' overall value to the franchise, which goes well beyond his duties as the chief pro talent evaluator.
He's the chief pro talent evaluator? Huh, he always seemed more like a Buccaneer figurehead to me. But if he's the guy responsible for bringing in free agents, it's been a hit and miss season. Tim Crowder, yes. Derrick Ward, meh. Mike Nugent, no. Kellen Winslow was a big yes, too, so give him credit for that. But the reason why this may be news is that if we are assuming that Bill Cowher would want complete control of all football operations (and I don't know why everyone is assuming that), extending Williams wouldn't make sense. Unless it's not a guaranteed contract, in which case it's just the Glazers hedging their bets.
SPURLOCK IS THE NFCSTPOTY: Micheal Spurlock won the NFC Special teams Player of the Week award. Yep, he sure did.
NO BUCS IN THE PRO BOWL: This is not news because no one expected that a Buccaneer would make it. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the Rams got a selection in the Pro Bowl. The Rams! Steven Jackson made it with his 1,300+ yard, 4.5 YPC season, which I guess are Pro Bowl numbers and I don't have anyone more deserving than him. But, man, a 1-14 team putting a player in the Pro Bowl after the Bucs had two nice wins just seems wrong.

Duo find rare Roman coin buried in a Furness field
Last updated at 16:03, Tuesday, 20 September 2011
A RARE Roman coin has been discovered in the fields of Furness.
Metal detectorist duo Dave Taylor and Ian Miles, from Dalton, unearthed the coin along with another Roman coin.
Dr David Shotter from Lancaster University identified the artefacts and estimated the coins were from 67 AD and 119 AD, when Emperors Nero and Hadrian ruled.
In his findings, he reported the Nero-era coin was quite rare.
Mr Taylor and Mr Miles have only been detecting together for a few months and have already made a number of discoveries. Mr Taylor said: "When we are walking through the fields in the pouring rain for ages and the fields are like a mud bath, it's great when you hear that beep. When you see a glimmer of silver, it makes it all worth it. It's such a buzz. It gives you that kick to carry on."
The friends found each of their coins in quick succession while searching the same field. Mr Taylor's rare discovery was made first.
Mr Miles said: "He came running across the field like a 10-year-old with a lollipop. He was like a child, shouting 'I've found a Roman coin'."
Mr Taylor said: "It's amazing to think that you are touching something that no one else has been in contact with for 2,000 years."
The pair are members of the National Council for Metal Detecting and believe honesty is the best policy when detecting.
Mr Taylor said: "We would always split any of our finds 50/50 with the farmers. Even if we aren't selling it, we would find out how much it was worth and give them half the money. We can't thank them enough. Without their permission, we couldn't do anything.
"We like to go back and show them what we have found. Then they come out with all sorts of stories and it tips you off to look in other areas. It's great. Also, with us on the land, it means they have an extra pair of eyes out. It's added security."
As these Roman coins were found separately and are from different eras, they cannot be classified as treasure, but both Mr Miles and Mr Taylor hope that one day they will come across a hoard.
Mr Taylor said: "It takes a lot of patience. We are out every night. You're always hoping to make that little line in the history books.
"It's like winning the lottery. If we were to find a hoard, I would rather keep it locally, maybe in the Dock Museum. It's history from this area, so it should stay here."

Have your say
Well done indeed! i found a teenage mutant hero turtle collectors coin in my back garden which is obviously far more valuable!
The comments made in relation to Dave Taylors finds do smack of sour grapes. I have known Dave TAYLOR for many years and I know him to be a "TOP LINE" detectorist and one not given to exaggerating his finds. He has a track record of making finds when other give up and this in my opinion is down to his great understanding of how to get the best out of his detector.
I would also add that in reporting his finds to the local Finds Liaison Officer under the Portable Antiquities Scheme is certainly helping to add to the knowledge
Of Roman activity in the area and if there was any suspicion of the coins being "imported" then the professionals would soon react. JF

According to Knight Science Journalism/MIT's tracker. Which is better than "Dan, Dan the Banana Man," I think.
Summary: the disease has spread to Africa, where attempts to control it – a difficult proposition – are underway. Coincidentally, just as the story went live at PopSci.com, Chiquita CEO Ed Lonergan – in his company's quarterly investor's conference call – addressed the issue of banana disease in detail for the first time. Among other things, Lonergan said: "We know tropical race 4 has migrated to Africa. And we would be silly to think that it isn't moving across the world over the course of the coming years." It is absolutely a huge acknowledgement and a very good thing for Chiquita to be dealing with the reality of this. The big question: will the potentially doomed Cavendish monoculture be replaced with another potentially doomed, and absolutely damaging, monoculture, or will the commercial banana industry finally adopt a variety/diversity-based approach.

They actually go to the Chatsworth Estate, where the Cavendish variety – the banana variety we eat – was developed. Listen here
This photo has been in my family for years. It depicts my grandfather, Morris Koeppel (left, in glasses), in front of the clothing store he owned in the 1930s. The picture has been around for years, but I've never known where the store actually was. I had always thought it was in Manhattan, but the rough consensus was that it was probably in Queens, and most likely in Kew Gardens Hills, near where my grandparents lived.
The argument against that was that the store address – we could see the number "1460" in the image – didn't follow the somewhat odd Queens borough numbering system, which break addresses into two-part designations indicating the nearest numerical cross street.
The only real clue I had – and it didn't pan out – were the reflections in the mirror of the store. They were faint, but I could see that a shoe store was located across the street. And that was that. A dead end. A couple of days ago, I emailed the picture to Joe DeMay, who runs the now-archived "Old Kew Gardens" website. Within a few hours, Joe replied, and the mystery was solved.
He wrote: "I love mysteries. For this one I engaged the help of a Richmond Hill historian, Carl Ballenas, who is expert at tracking down such details. We independently came to the same conclusion…The store shown in the photograph is not in Kew Gardens, or even in Queens. It was at 1460 Broadway in Brooklyn. The world Triangle in the store's name is appropriate because the streets there form a series of triangles along Broadway. The clues are to be found in the reflections in the store's windows which are more easily seen if you flip the picture to see a mirror image and view at full size. Across the street was a Bohack and also a Sparber Shoe Shop shown at 1461. I found that there was a Bohack at the time at 1457 Broadway. Carl found an old Sparber ad for 1461 Broadway. That building at 1461 today matches what can barely be seen in the window reflections of your photograph including the pilaster columns and the second floor wall cutting catty corner across the first floor roof. Across the street, where your grandfather's store was, now has no buildings."
I have attached and enhanced some of the images Joe and Carl sent (Joe graciously says that Carl deserves "most of the credit" for the discovery; I'm grateful to both of them!)
The Google Maps image of the lot where the store once stood answers another question: why was it called "Triangle Clothing Company." The shape of the existing lot gives that away: the store is named after the shape.
What's most interesting about all this is how neighborhoods change. From the advertising circulars – as well as the look on my grandfather's face – this was a thriving commercial area once. It appears less so, now, but the community garden that now sits at the location of my grandfather's store shows that there's still something vibrant there.
Now, the final mystery: who is the other person in the picture?
I've been obsessed with Robert Garside – who ran around the world, only to find that nobody believed him – for over a decade. I wrote the first version of this story in 2005, but it never got published, mostly because the story drove me a little bit insane. Proving that Robert Garside ran around the world became, sometimes, the most important aspect of my existence, something that created tension in my relationships, career, and especially my own sense of self. That's because I was one of the people who didn't believe Garside at first, and because my disbelief – publicly expressed – did great harm to what is, in my view, the greatest running achievement in history.
As part of my ongoing attempts to redeem myself and Garside, in 2010, with my friend Morgan Beeby, I ran a portion of Australia's Nullarbor plain. The run is the framing device used in the published version of the story, which finally appeared in the August, 2012, issue of Runner's World. The piece isn't online yet, but you can find it on the newsstand via the magazine's tablet editions. I've posted a link to a PDF of the piece below; please don't redistribute it.
I'll tell a little more of the story behind the story in a bit – I'm waiting for the RW version to appear at the magazine's website – but I wanted to get the main story posted.
Download the story here.
After some weird and entirely avoidable database migration issues, I'm slowly rebuilding the site. Links and pictures are mostly broken; content and text are in fairly good shape. Hopefully all will be well soon.

Guatemala is located to the southeast of Mexico and to the Northwest of the rest of Central America, on the thin sliver of land that joins the continental masses and separates the Pacific from the Atlantic Ocean.
Its topography produces a variety of microclimates. The majority of Guatemalans live in the valleys of the mountainous region in the central highlands where the climate is cool. That region, and its beautiful lakes and stunning volcanoes identify Guatemala to the world.
In this small country of only 108,889 square kilometers, the Maya civilization flourished at the beginning of the first century. In 1821 Guatemala and Central America declared its independence from Spain. Since 1985 Guatemala has been involved in the search for peace and democracy.
The greater part of the Guatemalan population is composed of 21 Maya groups, and other ethnic population such as Xinca, Kaqchiquel, Mam, Keqchí y Kííche. The mestizos or ladinos are the product of blending indigenous people and Europeans. These make up about one half of the population. Added to these are the Garifunas of Afro-Caribbean origin and some Europeans.
Although the official language is Spanish, each ethnic group and the Garífunas speak their own language.
Freedom of worship is guaranteed by the Guatemalan constitution.
The country is principally Catholic although many protestant denominations can be found. Maya rituals and customs continue to be seen in some rural communities.
Economic Profile
GNP: US$56.53 billions
GNP per capita: US$4,100
Inflation: 9%
Main Products: Coffee, bananas, cardamom and textile industry.
Mayor trading partners: United States, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Mexico, Germany, Japan, Venezuela
Travellers Information
Visas: Visa regulations changed in 1996 and citizens of nearly all countries no longer require a visa or tourist card to visit the country. Depending on the country of origin the length of stay varies between 60 and 90 days. Citizens of some countries still require a visa or tourist card and it is recommended to contact the the Guatemalan Consulate in your country.
Currency: Quetzal (aprox. Q8.00 for 1 US$)
We suggest you check the following websites:
The Republic of Guatemala in Central America has a very special location since it is the geographic center of the American Continent. Politically it is divided into 22 departments.
Its neighbors are: to the north and west, Mexico; to the southeast, El Salvador and Honduras; to the northeast, Belize and the Caribbean; and to the south, the Pacific Ocean.
The 108,889 square kilometers (67,674 square miles) of Guatemalan territory shows a surprising variety of geographic characteristics. Nearly two thirds of the country is mountainous and volcanic. Parallel to, but some distance from the Pacific the Sierra Madre rises up to 12,000 feet above sea level.
The Guatemalan landscape is dominated by thirty seven volcanoes, which blend with exuberant tropical forests to the north and fertile valleys to the east and south. Guatemala's beautiful lakes and rivers make it a country of natural contrasts.
Guatemala is located in the tropics, although its different regions have variable climates depending on elevation above sea level they go from hot, warm, average to cold. There are two main seasons, the rainy season from May to October and the dry season from November to April. The average temperature is 75 deg. F (27 deg. C).
Among the factors that contribute to Guatemala's particular beauty are the marvelous colors and patterns of the Maya textiles. The illustrations on these textiles range from flowers to depiction of daily and religious life.
The various styles and designs cover blouses or "huipiles", skirts, trousers, and bands worn wrapped around the head, tablecloths and many other forms of weaving.
Each ethnic group or town has its own dress that is woven by the women following ancestral traditions which merge a chromatic symbolism representing their history, their ancient deities and the environment.
Names like Miguel Angel Asturias, Nobel Literature Prize winner and Rigoberta Menchú, Nobel Peace Prize winner add to Guatemala's international fame.
Additionally the country has other great examples of art forms. The 'Marimba' is the national instrument by excellence, built of extremely hard woods with keys that produce an extraordinarily mellow sound. It looks like a huge xylophone.
The ancient forms of 'Marimba' had resonance chambers made of gourds. A modern 'Marimba' requires up to nine players.
Guatemala's symbol bird is the extraordinarily beautiful Quetzal, which dies if placed in captivity and therefore represents our country's liberty.
Name: Guatemala
Area: 108,890 sq.kms
Population: 13.9 million (yearly growth rate: 2.5%)
Capital: Guatemala (Population 2 million)
People: 55% descendants of the spaniards, 43% descendants of the mayas, 2% Europeans.
Religion: Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Union of Maya and Catholic.
Goverment: Democratic
President: Otto Perez

Project Runway's Althea Harper Shares Garment Care Tips
Spring 2013 Style & Garment Care Tips
By Althea Harper, Fashion Designer and Rowenta Brand Ambassador
Black and White
Black and white was all over the runway back in September for Spring 2013 Fashion Week. It is going to be a huge trend to see the mixing of the two for a chic approach to color blocking. Of course, when you are going for such a clean look you need to make sure the execution is flawless by keeping the colors spotless and steamed. I love the Rowenta Steam Station because it is both an iron and a steamer; which is perfect when there is a mix of delicate and more structured fabrics.
Jeweled Embellishments
Fashion did not have enough fun and glamour with the holiday season, but this spring, jeweled embellishments will add a touch of glamour. The decorative element is especially popular on collars, waistbands and cuffs. Although small, I would not call them subtle as the chunky embellishments definitely make a statement. I recommend choosing pieces that are placed in areas you what to show off. For example, if you have a beautiful face, show off a neck detail. If you have a small waist, then choose an embellished waistband or great arms then go with a cap sleeve with embellished cuffs.
Go Green!
It is the season to go green, both literally and figuratively. We are all trying to do our part to help the environment and this season we can show it off in our clothing. Not only in the color green a big color for the season but designers are choosing to work with materials that are sustainable. I devoted a whole second line to working with organic bamboo jersey that I hand dye in ways that is safe for the environment, Sitella. These pieces are easy to throw in the wash and give a quick steam and they are comfortable and stylish. I recommend the Rowenta Hand Held Steamer for an easy steam; it's small, heats up quick and lightweight.
Macrame and Laser Cuts
Macrame and laser cuts were also another trend that was frequently spotted on the runway. These pieces are beautiful, feminine and chic- but can be extremely expensive! Cost-saving tips include looking for pieces where a small portion of the garment is macrame or laser cut such as the sleeves, or if you love the detailed look all over look choose a fabric alternative such as lace or embroidered cotton with eyelets. If you are in love with a luxury fabric but not willing to pay the luxury price then purchase the fabric from a specialty fabric store and take it to a seamstress or sew up a simple dress yourself!
Bold and Floral Prints
Bold prints have been popular for the past few seasons and this season is no exception. Even more surprising is that floral prints are growing in popularity. However, a bit intimidating floral prints are actually extremely easy to wear. Choose a non literal floral print as those can come across a bit dated and I recommend picking a silhouette that fits loose to the body and adding a belt if you feel a bit lost in it. Of course, this is another piece that I recommend giving a quick steam. Rowenta has a new garment steamer with a hanger and netting attached so you can protect your hands from getting burned!
Boyfriend Pants
Haven't had time to swap out your winter wardrobe for spring? No worries, just roll up your jeans or pants for an instant spring look! This relaxed look is pulled together with cute oxford shoes or a great pair of flats and an easy t-shirt, light weight sweater or oversized blazer.
There has always been the trend of wearing your boyfriends tee or button up and now wearing your boyfriend's pants the trend. Skinny jeans and straight legs are not going anywhere anytime soon but oversized pants are also gaining popularity. This style looks great in various fabrications and looks from wide leg silk. Make sure they are long enough to hit the floor, if flooding opt to wear with flats instead. Cargo pants look great rolled with heels. Most importantly, when wearing anything oversized it needs to be pressed or steamed to avoid looking like a slob! Nothing with take this look from chic to total mess faster than fabric wrinkles.
Below are a few garment steamers and irons that will help freshen and de-wrinkle clothing.

First Class Travel Iron: Fits into purses
IS6300 Master Valet Full Size Garment Steamer

Jon Stewart is a much shorter and more nervous version of Craig Kilborn, which is to say he's hardly Craig Kilborn at all.
Whether this will matter once Stewart takes over for Kilborn as host of Comedy Central's satirical ``The Daily Show'' on Jan. 11 is uncertain. For now, Stewart jokes, all he knows is that ``a team of expatriate Russian engineers from the breakdown of Chechnya'' have installed a booster seat on Kilborn's chair, and a tailor is busy hemming Kilborn's suits to fit a much smaller man.

Mitt Romney Doesn't Believe His Own Campaign
Yesterday, New York magazine's Jonathan Chait called attention to this clip from 2004, in which Mitt Romney defends George W. Bush's economic record by saying—in no uncertain terms—that the president isn't responsible for job losses that occurred at the beginning of his administration:
In the video, Romney derides Kerry for blaming the recession of 2001 on President Bush, despite the fact that he just entered office and his policies hadn't taken effect. Romney's defense sounds a lot like the rhetoric offered by Obama and his backers.
Chait sees this as evidence of deep dishonesty:
Romney's whole campaign is based on an idea he doesn't believe. If you held his current campaign to some standard of intellectual consistency and forced him to make arguments about the president's economic responsibility without shaping those arguments to partisan self-interest, his entire rationale would collapse.
It's true: Romney doesn't actually believe the central claim of his campaign—that President Obama shoulders the blame for the current state of the economy, including all job losses that happened while he was in office. And in point of fact, there's no way you can stretch logic to absolve Bush of poor economic performance at the beginning his administration, but blame Obama for the same, especially if you grant—as Romney does—that Obama entered office during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
The most damaging thing about this clip is that it's one in a series. Two years later, in a press conference, Romney used a similar argument to defend his record in Massachusetts:
Odds are good that this won't matter for actual voters, but regardless, it's worth pointing out. Romney is running the most substance-free campaign in recent memory. He forgoes detail, shuns press, and avoids disclosure. His rhetoric is laced with distortions—"Obama has apologized for America"—and as the Tax Policy Center showed last week, his promises don't add up. And now, with these videos, we know he doesn't even believe the main message of his campaign.
The only thing we can say for certain about Romney is that his candidacy is nothing more than a vehicle for the right-wing radicals of the Republican Party. The plan is clear: Capitalize on economic discontent, sweep into office, and radically reshape government for the sake of low taxes on the rich, and free reign for powerful corporations. It's the Scott Walker strategy on a national level. And if Romney can successfully obscure his intentions from voters, it might actually happen.
Tue, 2012-08-07 10:47
I am completely in support of Obama for reelection, and I agree that Romney lacks honesty. But his message on unemployment is not that Obama is to blame for job losses at the beginning of his term, but rather that Obama should have been able to create more jobs by now. While this doesn't take into account the impossibility of doing so with the GOP blocking everything the president wants to do, it's not quite the same as saying that Obama is to blame for the job losses in the first place.
Tue, 2012-08-07 23:44
It may be possible to use clips like that to build a series of ads highlighting Romney's inability to take responsibility for his actions. He'll take credit for anything that happens under his 'leadership', but everything that goes wrong or smells bad is always somebody else's fault. He gets credit for every job created by every company ever touched by Bain, but he has no responsibility (for example) for any of Bain's outsourcing after his retroactive retirement date. A theme for an ad on that one could be, "Unlike Mr. Romney, when I call myself President it means something."
robtbraun, a lot of Romney's rhetoric about job losses and gains during Obama's presidency is predicated upon starting the count on Obama's first day in office. It's simply not the case that he's limiting himself to suggesting that Obama should have found a way to "create" more jobs. http://goo.gl/b0gpB

The pulley bearings (or bushings?) on my rear der. are squealing and binding after a good work out. I recently dripped a little lube down on them which loosened them up and quieted them down. But now, on my next ride, they are binding and squealing again. The der. has about 300 miles on it.
2 questions:
1) I've never had this issue with any XTR rear der. in the past, am I supposed to lube the pulleys periodically? I do not ride through mud or water EVER.
2) If this is a sign telling me that it's time for new pulleys, I'd like to upgrade to something hopefully lighter and more reliable. Your suggestions, please...

Perhaps in what might be read as a wake-up call for Apple, the Cupertino, Calif., gadget powerhouse was just served a dose of reality before a Dusseldorf court in Germany. A quick recap: Apple secured a sales ban on Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in September on the grounds of too many similarities and patent infringement.
Samsung then re-engineered its device and re-introduced it under the Galaxy Tab 10.1N moniker, but Apple pushed for an injunction of that model, too. Today at the Dusseldorf court, presiding judge Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann made it known that Apple was pushing its luck with a request for an injunction.
According to Bloomberg, she said:

Karl Rove's Prediction: Mitt Romney Wins 285 Electoral Votes to President Obama's 253
Karl Rove, a former senior adviser to President George W Bush, has made his prediction for the presidential election.
His state-by-state picks are pictured above, as he predicts a Mitt Romney victory in Ohio, propelling the Governor to a 285-253 electoral vote victory.
Check out Rove's appearance this morning as he broke down the numbers with Jon Scott. He said his prediction boils down to Romney's apparent edge with independent voters.
"Nationwide in virtually every single poll (of independents), Governor Romney has been beating President Obama, who won independents by eight points last time around. So if Governor Romney is now leading, even by one point - and he's been leading by an average of seven - that presages enough votes being shifted to shift the election," Rove explained.

Welcome to the Master of Science (MS) degree program in Applied Developmental Psychology (ADP) at the University of Pittsburgh! The MS degree in ADP emphasizes the integration of knowledge and practice in human development, with a focus on implementing best practices to promote positive outcomes for children, youth, and families.
Children, youth, and families continue to face a variety of challenging situations for which they are increasingly seeking support and intervention services. As hardships become more widespread and diverse, the resulting needs also grow. Applied developmental professionals serve these needs of children, youth, and families across multiple settings, including community-based organizations, schools, hospitals, child and youth programs, advocacy organizations, residential treatment programs, out-of-school programs (including before- and after-school programs), and service agencies. To promote well-being, the newly revised MS curriculum represents the most up-to-date knowledge across the fields of ADP research and practice. ADP emphasizes the application of this knowledge and use of cutting edge, best practice skills.
Through a blend of research and professional practice training, students in this vital field develop skills and expertise in applying knowledge of development and evidence-based practices, developing, implementing and evaluating effective interventions and programs for children, youth and families, collaborating effectively with professionals in related fields, and understanding and evaluating research.
The revised MS program curriculum includes an expanded set of core, foundational ADP coursework for all students followed by in-depth coursework and a community-based learning experience in one of the following specialization areas (chosen by the student):
Child and Youth Work [CYW] - the Child and Youth Work (CYW) specialization is designed to prepare professional practitioners who promote the positive development of children and youth in a variety of out-of-school time (OST) settings. Child and youth participation in organized activities outside of school has dramatically increased, which has stimulated growth in this emerging professional area. The CYW specialization includes a developmental-ecological perspective that emphasizes both child development and the impact of contexts on the developing individual. It is based on the idea that the growth of OST activities provides the rich opportunity for creating and coordinating developmentally positive spaces.
Behavioral Health in Schools and Communities [BHSC] – the Behavioral Health in Schools and Communities (BHSC) specialization emphasizes improving access to and quality of care for children and adolescents with developmental, emotional, behavioral, and/or psychological/mental health difficulties and their families. A BHSC focus may be appropriate for students interested in direct provision of behavioral health services, program administration and/or development, services to children with disabilities, policy-focused work, education, and/or advocacy. Students learn about emotional and behavioral disorders, developmentally- and evidence-based interventions and treatments for individuals and groups, program development, and use of resources and data to answer identified questions and provide necessary services. Upon completion of the program, students in this specialization meet all of the evidence-based coursework requirements for the PA Behavior Specialist License.
The BHSC specialization is not a clinically-focused curriculum; therefore, it does not prepare students to apply for professional psychology or counseling licensure or to work as professional, licensed counselors, therapists, school psychologists, or school counselors, either in public or private practice settings.
Children with Special Health Care Needs (with Child Life option) [CSHCN] – the Children with Special Health Care Needs (with Child Life option; CSHCN) specialization prepares students for direct work with children who have special health care needs, as well as their families, in settings such as children's hospitals, transitional programs (i.e. "step down" programs), and community-based organizations. Increased access to diagnostic services and better recognition of children's health conditions by parents and physicians have led to an increase in the prevalence of children and families who experience chronic health or medical needs. Students in the CSHCN specialization are trained to provide developmentally based interventions and information, as well as to support children's psychosocial, emotional, and behavioral health needs, in health care settings. Upon completion of the program, students interested in applying for the Child Life Certificate (overseen by the Child Life Council) will have met the coursework requirements but must also earn a passing score on the national certification exam and complete (or have completed as part of the MS program) a formal Child Life internship.
Applied Research Methods for Child and Youth Serving Organizations [ARMO] - the Applied Research Methods for Child and Youth Serving Organizations (ARMO) specialization focuses on training applied research practitioners who are able to producing relevant, useful research to evaluate and enhance key programs for child and youth development. Child and youth serving organizations are increasingly expected to collect and analyze a variety of data in order to monitor outcomes, improve performance, and demonstrate effectiveness. Organizations that serve children and families, however, often are overworked and underfunded, making such data-oriented efforts burdensome. To meet the need of child and youth serving organizations, the ARMO specialization trains practitioners within a model of practical, applied research to evaluate program functioning, performance, and outcomes as well as to contribute to overall knowledge.
Professional Year (only for students who previously completed Professional Year teaching certification program, which transfers 18 credits of coursework) [PY] – take only the ADP core course sequence for additional 18 credits.
Graduates of the program are equipped to work in a wide variety of professional settings, including wraparound or community mental health service agencies, out-of-school programs (including recreational programs and afte rschool programs), residential programs, juvenile justice (detention) centers, early care and education, early intervention, and pediatric health care programs. Some graduates also proceed to doctoral study (in areas such as counseling psychology, applied developmental psychology, and school psychology). Graduates of the program hold positions such as:

Millom skatepark plan gets green light for 2014
Last updated at 16:27, Monday, 02 December 2013
PROPOSALS for a skatepark in Millom have proved to be more than a pipe dream after ambitious plans were passed by planners.
Councillor Brian Crawford has worked tirelessly on the plans to build a skatepark for more than three years.
Plans were submitted to Copeland Borough Council's planning committee this year and officers have now approved the £500,000 scheme.
The skatepark will be in Millom Park, in St George's Road.
Cllr Crawford, mayor of Millom and Cumbria County councillor for the area, is hoping the park could be up and running in time for the 2014 summer holidays.
He said: "We're not quite at the last piece of the puzzle – that will be getting the funding but we're all systems go once we do.
"I've been making enquiries about where to go while we were sorting the application."
The project has been hit by setbacks after funding sources fell through in 2009.
Up to 40 per cent of the funding can be obtained from the Copeland Community Fund equating to £200,000 which, if the bid is successful, would leave around £300,000 before work could get under way.
Now the search is on to secure funding in a bid to make the halfpipe dream a reality.
Cllr Crawford said he would be working up a "festive frenzy" in a bid to get funding applications submitted over the Christmas period.
The park has been designed by Freestyle UK and the company has said skaters and BMX riders will travel from across the north west to use the skatepark.
The plans include ramps, a half-pipe and even a pavilion where refreshments will be sold to skaters using the park.
Cllr Crawford added: "Freestyle have done an awful lot of work preparing the application, they say it will be one of the best skateparks in the north of England.
"The key things now, in terms of timing, are the funding windows.
"I'd love to see it open while I am still mayor but this isn't about me it is about Millom and putting Millom on the map and giving the kids something to do."

Syllamo Bike Trail Maps & Info
Welcome to the Syllamo (Sĭl'-lă-mō) Mountain Bike Trail. This series of interconnecting loops offers the mountain bike enthusiast 50 miles of trail, most of it single-track. The trail name dates back to an infamous resident of the area in the early 1800s. A Creek Indian named Syllamo was tolerated by the native Shawnees. His favorite hunting grounds were a particular creek drainage that was named for him. Eventually the name was anglicized to its current form – Sylamore (Sĭl'-ă-mōre). You may have noticed all the tributes to Syllamo in the area – Sylamore Creek, Sylamore Hiking Trail, the Sylamore Ranger District, and the community of Sylamore. The Syllamo Mountain Bike Trail is a fee area. The fees are kept locally to help maintain the trail and the trailhead facilities. The various loops can be accessed from four different trailheads in addition to Blanchard Springs Recreation Area. All trailheads contain a vault toilet, a bulletin board containing fee information and a map, and a gravel-surfaced parking for approximately 20 vehicles. Three trailheads are on Green Mountain Road, which is the first gravel road to the West 0.5 miles north of Jack's Fishing Resort and one trailhead is on Arkansas Highway 5, 3.5 miles north of Jack's (see map (pdf)). The following trail descriptions are listed in order of easiest to most difficult. Several of the trails have a lot of variety in difficulty—stretches that would be pleasant for a beginner, and then very technical stretches where less experienced should walk their bike. Trails are marked with various color blazes on brown fiberglass posts. If you are unsure about your skill level or new to the Syllamo, it is suggested that you start with the most beginner friendly trails and work your way up to the trails that contain the more technical sections. Each trail is broken down by fitness level, skill level, length, preferred route, and total elevation change on the map section of this brochure. Remember to wear your safety gear and enjoy the ride.

My wife has the MPx200 and is Running Windows Vista Ultimate. When we plug the MPx200 in it automatically recognizes the device as a smart phone and I can browse the phone etc, but I can't use the Sync Center to sync with Outlook. As ActiveSync doesn't install into Vista, does anyone know how I can get this phone to Sync with Outlook while running Windows Vista?

Windows vista uses Windows Mobile Center which is WAAAYYYYY better than ActiveSync (when I say...better...it's actually the looks which are better cause it is basically described as ActiveSync in disguise)!! All you have to do is download that software from Microsoft! Works just fine afterwards!

For the record, he's pitched 3 innings, allowing 1 hit, with 5 Ks so far this spring...
too bad he never got the chance to prove his stuff in Cincinnati.

Who did we get for Medlock?
Krivsky threw away Medlock.
He also threw away Cantu too. Would have been nice to have him on the bench this year instead of giving him up for the Rule V pick that was a waste of space and time. I guess all Rule V's can't be as prosporous as Josh Hamilton I suppose.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
no great loss on either one of them. Cantu was horrible defensively and he couldnt hit righties at all. Everybody was clamoring for Votto around here so here's his shot. Why does he have to sit against lefties. Let the kid play if he hits lefties he hits um if not we can sure find a better platoon player then Jorge Cantu. Calvin Medlock is no great loss either. Salmon is better than him you can find a player of the caliber of Calvin Medlock anywhere. There a dime a dozen every teams got about 10 of um in the minors.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Lauren Taylor scored seven goals to propel the Yale University women's lacrosse team to Wednesday afternoon's 15-8 non-conference victory against the University of New Hampshire at Johnson Field.
UNH fell to 0-3 on the season while Yale improved to 2-1.
The Wildcats' offense was led by Sarah Von Bargen (East Seatuuket, N.Y.; three goals), Beth Sabiston (Bay Shore, N.Y.; two goals) and Katie Leland (Timonium, Md.; goal, assist). UNH starting goalie Ashley Milley (Sudbury, Mass.) made six saves and exited the game with the 'Cats trailing 14-7 with 7:34 to play in the game. Maghan Grahn (Roseau, Minn.) made her collegiate debut in playing the rest of the way, and she was not credited with a save.
Yale's Kat Peetz contributed four goals to the attack while starting goalie Ellen Cameron stopped two of nine shots on goal in 52:26 to earn the win. Lonnie Sarnell went the rest of the way and stopped two shots while yielding one goal.
UNH fell behind 2-0 on Bulldog goals at 2:08 and 4:18 but rallied to tie the score on a free position goal by Alexa Webster (Aurora, Colo.) at 7:23 and Michaela Hardy's (Reading, Mass.) first collegiate point with a goal at 9:02. Yale regained the lead on a Jenn Warden strike 50 seconds later and once again established a two-goal advantage, 4-2, at 11:24 on a Taylor tally.
The first of two first-half goals by Von Bargen trimmed the UNH deficit to 4-3 at 14:18, but a free-position goal by Peetz once again gave the Bulldogs a two-goal lead, 5-3.
The 'Cats once again rallied to tie the score, 5-5, when Sabiston converted a pass from Leland into her collegiate goal and point at 20:21 and Von Bargen netted her second of the game at 23:24.
Taylor closed the first-half scoring with three consecutive goals to give Yale an 8-5 halftime lead. She put the home team back in front for the third time in the game, this time at 6-5, at 24:44 and extended the lead to 7-5 76 seconds later before striking for the fifth time in the half with 11 seconds remaining.
Yale's Lara Milniker opened the second-half scoring at 31:53 to push the lead to 9-5, but New Hampshire once again rallied. Von Bargen's team-leading seventh goal of the season lifted the Wildcats within 9-6 at 33:43 and Sabiston netted a free-position goal 39 seconds later to make the score 9-7. UNH gained possession and set up on offense, but lost momentum in the game with a turnover that led to Taylor's sixth strike of the game at 37:49. Peetz scored 31 seconds later and Taylor extended the lead to 12-7 at 42:35, prompting UNH to call time out.
The Wildcats stopped Yale on the ensuing possession, but were off target on two shots at the opposite end of the field - one of which ricocheted off the post - before Peetz netted her third goal of the game on a free position shot at 47:07 to extend the Bulldogs' advantage to 13-7. Melniker gave the home team a 14-7 advantage at 52:25, at which point UNH called its second timeout and both teams switched goalies.
Leland scored her fourth goal of the season at 54:36 and Yale's Sara Greenberg closed the scoring with 1:16 to play.
New Hampshire returns to action March 11 at home vs. Marist College. Game time at Memorial Field is 12 p.m.

The other day I dusted my hives with powdered sugar (2 cups per hive with a flour sifter)...then I put sticky boards down to see how many would drop.
In the first hive (All American) there were roughly 78 to 80 mites over a 3 day period that dropped onto the board....so that roughly comes out to 26/27 mites in a 24 hour period.
The 2nd hive had right at 60 mites which put them at 10 mites in 24 hour period (this is a Russian hive).
What is the general rule of thumb on when to treat or what number indicates how bad the mites are?
I have never treated these hives except with grease patties last fall.
