Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if my question is common, but I've been searching to set this up for myself without any luck so that's why I'm turning to this forum - hopefully you guys can help me out.
I'm a blogger for wordpress.com, to which we only have certain settings -but then I run my own blog at so-random.org to which I would like to have some of the stuff from the dashboard settings of wordpress.com. I've been wanting to have this image setting (probably new, since it works on wordpress.com blos) which dynamicly resizes the images after the setting looking like this: /wp-content/uploads/2013/01/25/header.jpg?w=300. My current image resizer creates medium and large images like this: /wp-content/uploads/2013/01/25/header-300x300.jpg.
I hope you understand where I'm getting at! I have the latest WordPress version installed on my own hosting, so it must be some kind of plugin or code which makes this work? Let me know.
Forever grateful!

Guess the Pitchers
Time to play a little game of who would you rather have on your team....your three contestants.
|Player A
|Player B
|Player C
Everyone should be pointing to Player B, right? Let's add some columns though...
|Player A
|Player B
|Player C
Just a friendly reminder on BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) and FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching), where BABIP should usually settle in the .290 to .310 range for a pitcher, so if a pitcher is below it, don't be suprised when it goes up along with all his other numbers and if he' s above it, dont' be suprised if it goes down. Knuckleballers and change-up specialists are the exception to that rule. FIP is a similar concept, in it's basically the ERA for a pitcher on what they are ultimately responsible for....walks, strikeouts, hit by pitch and home runs, essentially factoring out defense and lady luck.
The additional columns make the argument a lot more interesting and it's pretty clear that Player A was considerably unlucky last season and you can say that for his entire injury-plagued career.
But the Cubs, in their quest to improve on a 2008 ballclub have decided they're gonna run with Players B & C, which is pretty clearly going to be an inferior product. And if there's anyone still trying to figure it out, your players are Kerry Wood (A), Carlos Marmol (B) and Kevin Gregg (C).
Sure, the Cubs are up against it budget-wise, but there's a lot of creativity that could have gotten them to fit Kerry Wood's salary into their budget. The cost of Kerry Wood and Jose Ceda wouldn't be considerably more than the potential costs of Kevin Gregg (expected to make $4M), Michael Wuertz (around $1M), Chad Gaudin (around $2 M), and Neal Cotts ($1 M). And if you really think any of those last three are essential to the Cubs, which I don't, there's probably a few more ways to hack $5-6M if the Cubs are really that desperate (I'm looking at you Jason Marquis).
Yes, Kerry Wood is an injury-risk, moreso than most pitchers and yes, it's generally unwise to throw 9-10MM at a bullpen arm, but it's also unwise to knowingly go into a season trying to win a World Series with lesser talent, which is exactly what the Cubs are preparing to do.
Is some of this bias towards one of my favorite Cubs players? Maybe, I mean I don't know how you can completely remove that from your sub-conscious. On the other hand, I don't care either. It's not like Kerry Wood is in the Mark Grace stage of his career, he's still one of the best pitchers around, even in a different role. A helluva a lot better than Kevin Gregg will be next season. The ship has probably sailed on Wood pitching for the Cubs in 2009, but there's still that small sliver of hope that the new ownership group gets named rather quickly and rides in on their white horse with a new contract for Kerry Wood.

Here's to wishful thinking.
Re: Stuff...
ha...mark "13 days!!! 13 days!!!" worrell.
he was destined to be traded. he's been telling anyone with a pen or microphone how he wants out of the STL organization for months.
btw, he's not related to the other worrells.
well damn, how's this for timing...
Re: Stuff...
I get the impression he wanted to leave...
Re: Stuff...
yeah...that's way more to the point and blunt than he's been in other interviews.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
I agree with ROB G that the Cubs could have kept Wood just by not acquiring Gregg and by non-tendering Cotts, Gaudin, and Wuertz on 12/12, but I think Hendry is more interested in acquiring Jake Peavy and signing either Milton Bradley, Bobby Abreu, or Raul Ibanez to play RF (Hendry: Damn the defense and the compensatory draft pick), and then he will address the bullpen later, after he moves Jason Marquis (and indeed there should be a market for Matquis and his one year remaining at $9.875M after the top FA pitchers have signed). And I think Hendry will gut the farm system (if necessary) to acquire Peavy, too.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Good summary. I don't know if I'd put Wood in "one of the best pitchers around" category after one above-average year, but I agree that Gregg's definitely a downgrade. Perhaps the Cubs can revisit a one-year option with him after they get their other priorities sorted out. I don't think it's quite fair to say they're going into next season with lesser talent since next season hasn't started yet and they're clearly going to try to use some of the money Wood would have gotten for a bat and/or Peavy.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
I don't know if I'd put Wood in "one of the best pitchers around" category after one above-average year
FWIW... it wasn't just above average. It was a great year. One of, if not THE, best years a reliever had this past season.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Wood did have a very good year, but I can rattle off the the top of my head 6 relievers that were better (Krod, Soria, Lidge, Papelbon, Mariano, Nathan) and if I looked it up I think we could find a few more. Again not taking anything away from Wood he performed a little better than I thought he would, and had a very good year, but I can't see how he was one of the best relievers last season.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
If you consider top 10-12 best being one of the best last season, than you are absolutely correct. When I think one of the best, I think top 3-5.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
I am curious how you read '7th' and translate that into 10 - 12th.
Take out situational guys and he was top 5.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Wood was not a top 5 closer last year. And when considering all relievers he was outside the top 10 IMO.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
According to what? It has already been shown why many of us believe that Kerry Wood was a top 5 closer last year. You should actually show us why you think otherwise.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
According to his opinion.
End o' story.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
According to the stats...
Here are just the closers (not counting set up guys) I think had a better season in 2008 than Wood in no particular order:
1. Francisco Rodriguez: 2-3, 68.1 IP, 2.24 ERA, 62 saves
2. Joakim Soria: 2-3, 67.1 IP, 1.60 ERA, 42 saves
3. Brad Lidge: 2-0, 69.1 IP, 1.95 ERA, 41 saves
4. Jonathan Papelbon: 5-4, 69.1 IP, 2.34 ERA, 41 saves
5. Mariano Rivera: 6-5, 70.2 IP, 1.40 ERA, 39 saves
6. Joe Nathan: 1-2, 67.2 IP, 1.33 ERA, 39 saves
Kerry Wood: 5-4, 66.1 IP, 3.26 ERA, 34 saves
I also think there could be a couple others (Valverde & Cordero) that I would consider at least on par with Wood. Again, I think Wood had a very good year, but just not top 5 closer or top 10 reliever. Please don't take any of this as bashing Wood, he performed better than I thought and did very well last year.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
So pretty much you're just not buying into the who BABIP thing. Go to Vegas and make 7 bets. Put down $100 on the over/under for each of those guys 2009 ERA based on their 2008 ERAs. There's one guy who's probably 5 times as likely to come in 'under' as any of the others.
I do notice, now that you list these guys that Wood pitched approximately the same innings as all of them, despite missing, what 18 games?, with the blister.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Yeah, I can care less about BABIP. You very well might be right about 2009, but we were talking about 2008.
I don't think Wood would have dropped his ERA 1.50 points in those 18 games. ANd injuries are part of the game.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Well you are right, if you judge pitchers solely based on their ERA then Kerry wasn't one of the best last year.
The point of the article, is an illustration why it's foolish to do just that. We're all in agreement now that the point eludes you.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
ERA was not the only stat I used to determine it, but again clearly Wood was not a top 5 closer.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Ok, I see. Yeah, the bullpen as of now is definitely more iffy than last year but if the choice is Peavy or Wood, and it sounds like it might be that for Hendry, I'll take Peavy every day. Hopefully some of the young guys come through strong for us, esp. in a LH role. I think Gregg and Marmol can be competent, if not quite as solid as Marmol, Wood last year.
No doubt Kerry's stuff is top tier, maybe some of the filthiest in baseball. And his 2008 was great, better than I thought it was after looking at BABIP and FIP. But with his history (and remember, I love the guy), I think it's about as safe a bet that he'll be out for a significant chunk of next season as it is he matches or improves on 2008. That, with his payroll restrictions and other needs, is I think what led Hendry to his decision.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
How can a bullpen that has subtracted Bob "Here it is, meat, see how far you can hit it -- wow, that's pretty far" Howry be more iffy that last year?
Stats for relievers can be misleading -- Marmol had a relatively brief stretch where he walked everybody, but gave up few runs. I think he was the best pitcher in the Cubs bullpen last year.
I think we should view Kerry's 2008 as a nice farewell gift. Love the guy, and wish him well, but I expect to see him on the DL in 2009.
I still don't get giving up Ceda for a mediocre closer, though. Yuck.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
The reason Howry was pitching last year is because Lou had no one better to run out there (for the most part). That hasn't changed yet.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
ANDREW: If Kerry Wood is still out there after Hendry acquires Peavy, signs Bradley, Abreu, or Ibanez, and trades Marquis, I would think he would be more than willing to try and offer some kind of back-loaded deal that would make it possible to bring KW back. But Woody may not still be there when Hendry is ready to address the bullpen.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Not offering Arbitration to KW was really a dumb move. There just isn't anyway else to look at it. For KW to get 10 million in Arbitration it would have taken a 350% jump in his salary to get there. I'm fairly certain that would be an unprecedented level of markup for an arbitrator.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
At some point Hendry is going to have to get around to "building" a farm system. I know this isn't the year to do so. But at some point it will be a nice option to have.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Rob, I'm talking about right now. Every guy you mention above other than Samja was drafted or signed before 2002. At some point we are going to have to get back around to player development. Unless we start spending like the yankees. And obviously all this Non-Tender crap is pointing in the direction of us Not spending like the Yankees. As I said. We don't have to this year. But it will be needed at some point.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Let's face it, as much as they're now the Evil Empire, the Red Sox are the model. Somehow they keep churning out top-tier talent, position and pitching, and yet still seem to be in on nearly every big name each offseason. And they're the most successful franchise of the new century.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
If the owners keep considerably upping his payroll like they have the past few years he can get away from not having a good farm system. And I think SD might be showing the days of Hendry being able to send off overhyped/not good prospects for good proven players might be over.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
BTW, just because Hendry is prepared to non-tender Gaudin, Cotts, and/or Wuertz on 12/12 doesn't mean he can't trade one, two, or all three of them for auto-renewal guys next week at the Winter Meetings, just like he did last year when he traded Will Ohman (who was arbitration-eligible) to ATL for Jose Ascanio (and speaking of Ascanio, he is having a very good season in the VWL so far).
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Is payroll the only reason Hendry's considering non-tendering these guys? I thought they were supposed to be parts of next year's pen? If they go, then we really are up in the air after the starters go 5 or 6.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
They 'and they're not good' part my play into the decision factor as well.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
If you're keeping score at home, then I believe you have to read Hendry's moves pretty much as AZ Phil is laying them out in these posts. All 'loyalty' and 'fan' feelings aside, Hendry made a necessary business move in NOT bringing Wood back if he indeed does have payroll limitations at this point in the off-season. Offering Wood arbitration would have garnered him well over the $7M he earned in 2008 with his $4M base and over $3M in incentives.
I've got 2009 payroll at $130-135M right now assuming only R. Johnson and Gregg get arbitration money and Fontenot, K. Hill, Hoffpauir, Marmol, Marshall, Soto, and Theriot are auto-renewed. Assuming he even gets approval to go to $145-150M for 2009, there's no way he gets Peavy and a LH hitting RF without dumping Wood's salary and non-tendering Cotts, Gaudin, and Wuertz. I'd be amazed if his budget is even that high. Of course Marquis and his salary has to go as well if the RF is Abreu or Ibanez. And I hope to God Dunn is NOT under consideration - watching him in the OF 150 times next season would make me retch on a regular basis even if he hit 50 HR's. As Stone said today on WSCR - "he's a DH in search of an AL team".
And I can't say I disagree with this strategy if it nets a rotation of Z, Peavy, Dempster, Lilly, and Harden, and puts Abreu's bat in the 3, 4, or 5 hole. The downside is I see no money to sign Furcal, and Roberts to play 2B only if the O's would take DeRosa, Pie, and/or Marquis in return. Having to rely on DeRosa/Theriot to play 2B/SS next year and Harden in the rotation almost forces Hendry to keep Fontenot and Marshall out of any trades. Good luck with that.
But back to the point of Rob G's post, it really isn't about if Marmol and Wood would have been better than Marmol and Gregg. It's about money and a payroll budget.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
From Rosenthal's latest article:
"Abreu plays right field, but one GM described his play as 'brutal'".
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Brutal is Matt Murton, Dave Kingman, Mike Vail, Brian Dayett, et al. I've seen enough brutal Cubs OF play to put me in semi-permanent anaphylactic shock. I don't need to add Adam Dunn to my list.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Hehehe, Mike Vail. Good Lord, that was a REALLY bad time to be a Cub fan. Today's first baseman....Mike Lum!!
Re: Guess the Pitchers
You Rang? Even I don't want Adam Dunn. None of the lefty batters available interest me. Let's get ICHIRO!
Re: Guess the Pitchers
We can even afford one of those players!
Re: Guess the Pitchers
God Pujols is on a sweet deal. His agent should be clubbed to death.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Len Kasper re-signed through 2011. No word if he'll still be an unpaid PR man for the Redwalls however.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
If I ever testify against the mob on TV, please do not have ROB G do the pixalation of my face.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Gaudin isnt getting non-tendred as I am sure there is a good market for a league average starter who only makes $3 or 4 mil through aribration. My money would be on the scenerio AZ Phil mentioned, with us getting a SP who is a auto-renewal guy with options left who would be a 1 or 2 starter for Iowa and one of our primary spot starters. I think we will keep Cotts, simply because we wont have any loogy candidates left expect for Marshall who we need as a spot starter or trade bait. Wuertz will be gone through, seeing how he is in Lou's doghouse. Though unlike Gaudin I dont see us getting anything of use for him, likely a minor league roster-filler or 2.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Haven't seen this mentioned here yet... according to Baseball America, the Cubs have signed three minor league free agents:
RHP Angel Castro -- AA reliever for Detroit last year, 3.30 ERA, 33/19 K/BB in 43.2 IP.
LHP Jason Waddell -- AA reliever for San Francisco, 3.38 ERA, 70/36 K/BB in 64 IP.
C Mark L. Johnson returns to the system after spending part of last season catching in St. Louis. Solid replacement for Koyie Hill in Des Moines.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
Maybe Manny can give us some Waddell insight, what his repertoire is and if could hack it an an MLB loogy in 2009. Or anyone, but I figured that dude has seen him pitch a few times.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
BABIP cracks me up -- "normal is between .290 and .310".
None of the 3 pitchers were in that range, not even within 20 points of it, which allows for all sorts of conjecture -- Marmol was lucky, Kerry wasn't, etc.
Terrific stat.
Re: Guess the Pitchers
i've been wanting to hold off writing on the topic, but well...i'm bored again...wee...
personally, i don't think that's a weak pen. then again i don't have issues with cotts/wuertz and i don't mind gregg.
none (except maybe marmol) are on kerry wood's level, but none are looking even 1/2 the paycheck wood is.
i don't really see an immediate need there.

I think Jones held up part of your sentence at third while the rest ran through the sign.
has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
I agree -- I think if you are a soft-tosser, you need a track record before you are taken seriously. If Kyle posts sub-3.00 ERA consistently and wins 15+ games a few times (and pitches more innings), he may have a shot at the award in a few years. Hopefully, he gets in the top 5 this year -- would be deserved and a nice boost for his confidence.
It's also possible that the Cubs have no intention of recalling Spencer Patton. Perhaps Maddon has seen enough of him, and Patton will eventually be one of the players cut to make room for others who will be added to the 40 in September.
I doesn't know what your talking about.
Maybe it's to get him some game action. He's only pitched for the Cubs once in the last 10 days. I don't really care much about him going down since he's sucked when up here.
I really want Rivero to be called up.
CHITOWNMVP01: It is indeed odd that the Cubs did not just wait one more day to recall LaStella.
As far as Spencer Patton is concerned...
Why didn't they wait until tomorrow to call up TLS? Don't they have to wait 10 days to bring Patton back up now?
Cubs assigned to Mesa Solar Sox (AFL):
Victor Caratini, C
James Farris, RHRP
Ian Happ, 2B-OF
Eloy Jimenez, OF
Ryan McNeil, RHRP
Steve Perakslis, RHRP
Duane Underwood Jr, RHSP
Brian Lawrence, Pitching Coach
Jimenez, Happ, Caratini and Underwood are among the Cubs Top 10 Prospects, and playing in the AFL should help speed their development.
So presuming he remains on the MLB Active List for the balance of the MLB regular season, Tommy LaStella will be at 2+102 MLB Service Time at the end of the season, far short of what he would have needed to accrue to have a chance at "Super Two" status post-2016. (Even if he had remained on the MLB Active List for the entire season and finished at 2+124 MLB Service Time, he still would have only been "on the bubble" for possible "Super Two" status post-2016).
I don't know about the defensive part of the equation, the fact all the Cubs pitchers are so ahead of their FIP makes me think it's a lot more defense than anything special Hendricks is doing.
Thanks, jacos! I love a good Alice Cooper group performance video -- especially when it corresponds with a shrinking, division-clinching magic number!
TLS up and playing second today. Spencer Patton to Iowa to make room.
Yeah that article describes what I said in my other post about WAR. BR WAR is fine as a snapshot but FG is a better predictor of future performance.
I also get what you mean by FIP being independent of luck but my point is all the soft contact Hendricks gives up negates a lot of that luck and defense aspect. In other words I believe he could pitch in front of any defense and have similar #s because for the most part he isn't giving up the screaming liners or hard hit liners to the gap.
Down on the farm:
"Dealin'" Cease with another good outing for Eugene. Last 4 outings: 16IP, 1ER 29K. But, 10BB. Throw strikes, kid.
Candelario is killing it at Iowa after struggling at AA: .320/.406/.941 in 241AB. At age 22. Where the heck to put him next year?

Prior to this case, Quintero Community Association (hereinafter "QCA") sued Hillcrest Bank (hereinafter "HB") under a variety of legal theories after plaintiffs sustained a loss in their investment. This is the only claim that remains. It is a claim of conversion, meaning that QCA is alleging that HB improperly took control of QCA's property. The issue is that during an investigation into HB's lending practices by the FDIC, an HB employee made a copy of all HB's loan records on a portable harddrive. This employee also made a portable harddrive copy for HB's own records. Later, the president of HB instructed the same employee to make yet another copy for HB's attorney. QCA claims that HB violated its rights by making copies of its loan records. HB moved for summary judgment, claiming that QCA has no property interest in its records and that even if it did; HB's copying of the records did not deny QCA its right of possession. In order to prevail on a conversion claim, plaintiff must prove that, "(1) it possesses a right in the goods or personal chattels; and (2) that the defendants exercised control over the goods or chattel to the exclusion of the plaintiff's right." The court held that QCA does not have a property interest in HB's records. The court reasoned that with intangible records, the plaintiff must have a present property interest in them, but here QCA merely has a right to privacy and no present property interest. The court further ruled that HB never exercised exclusive possession over the bank records. Thus, even if QCA held a property interest in the records, HB's actions do not constitute conversion because HB's actions never interfered with QCA's alleged rights to the documents. HB never asserted control over the documents in a way that excluded QCA from accessing them. QCA also argued that it is entitled to an adverse inference based on defendant's alleged spoliation and in the alternative that it should be granted leave to amend its complaint to include a spoliation claim. The basis for the adverse inference claim is that HB allegedly encrypted the portable hard drives with the loan information in order to prevent QCA from accessing them. "[A] presumption of spoliation only arises when there is evidence of "intentional destruction indicating a desire to suppress the truth." The court found that QCA did not meet its burden in demonstrating intentional destruction. Further, the court denied plaintiff's request for leave to amend because it was not filed until two months after discovery closed, it would require further discovery and fees to be incurred by defendant, and the amendment would be futile.
Larry Klayman sued six separate journalist defendants for defamation. This case is about Klayman wanting more discovery from the defendants. Specifically, Klayman's motion is to compel the production of documents and to hire a computer expert. In this case, Klayman has conceded the fact that he is a public figure. So, in order to win in a defamation suit, he must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the journalists published the statements about him with actual malice. Thus, Klayman made this discovery motion to try to obtain "any and all documents, discussions and/or publications that refer or relate in any way to Plaintiff Larry Klayman within the past five years," as well as several other document requests. Klayman contends this information is relevant to state of mind of the journalists. However, the defendants represent that they have already provided Klayman with all relevant information. Based on this representation, the court denied Klayman's request to compel document production. Klayman also petitioned for a computer retrieval expert to be hired to go through each defendant's computer files. Klayman claimed that the defendants had improperly withheld documents. However, the court ruled that the plaintiff must show good cause in order to compel a forensic expert, and here he has failed to do so. The court further stated that his assertions were "conclusory and unpersuasive." Jessie is a third year student at Seton Hall University School of Law (Class of 2015).

The court first directed the defendant to produce the file of the plaintiff's insurance claim in 2007, and needless to say, even in 2014 the defendant still had not produced everything. Over one year later, the court granted the plaintiff's first motion to compel. When a flood of documents appeared at a deposition in 2011, discovery was reopened and the defendant was sanctioned. Another motion to compel was granted in 2012, and this time it was for the deposition of a representative of the defendant who could testify about the efforts the defendant had taken to respond to discovery requests. Yet another flood of documents appeared, and the representative deposed was unable to describe any of the defendant's discovery efforts. The plaintiff moved again for sanctions, which were granted in 2013. At that time, the court also granted the plaintiff the costs and legal fees due to the late production of documents. As relevant here, before the court in this motion was the assessment of legal fees and another production request. The defendant did not want to produce more documents because by this time the defendant said the emails were on backup tapes that were purportedly not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. Can you guess what the court thought of that argument? We'll get to that in a moment. Without delving into specifics, the court painstakingly analyzed the plaintiff's legal bill for the various motions, filings, etc. and awarded $81,997.60 in attorney's fees. Some of these costs were attributable to an IT specialist hired by the plaintiff that was to help the attorneys ask proper questions at the defendant's representative's deposition so they could ensure protocols were followed during discovery and that sufficient documentation was recovered (and if discovery was delayed because of an honest mistake, the explanation for that could be ascertained). Even though the individual deposed actually had no knowledge of the defendant's discovery practices, the defendants couldn't escape paying for the IT specialist's and attorney preparation time. On top of the nearly $82,000 awarded in legal fees, the defendant said it would cost $200,000 to recover the backup tapes containing emails. While the actual cost is unclear, the defendant was ordered to turn over eight weeks of tapes, at its expense, of the thirteen individuals the plaintiff identified. The judge even left the door open for the the plaintiff to get additional discovery if further exploration is necessary. However, this isn't the end. Sometimes, a single well-placed footnote can be unbelievably powerful. This case illustrates just that, as the judge cleverly observed the defendant's conduct as such: [c]onsistent with Hartford's approach to discovery in this case, it has spent more time and resources challenging two entries totaling 1 hour than the amount requested by the plaintiff for those entries. The court trusts that Hartford's attorneys will notify their client how much they incurred in attorneys fees on these two entries. So please, take discovery seriously.

Last summer the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois decided a case that allows your old boss into your home. Well . . . not literally. Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown granted a motion to compel discovery for a plaintiff-employer over objection of defendant-employee. The plaintiff, Network Cargo Systems U.S.A., Inc. claimed that its former employee, Caroline Pappas, stole proprietary technology and destroyed other electronic data upon termination. Plaintiff denied the request, and consented to limited discovery. After expedited discovery took place, plaintiff returned to the court requesting that an independent technology investigator be granted access to all of Ms. Pappas's electronic devices. The court ordered defendant's counsel to "determine what electronic devices [Pappas] used between 4/1/13 [2 months before termination] and 2/14/14 [the hearing date]." Network Cargo Sys. U.S.A., Inc. v. Pappas, No. 2014 WL 1856773 *2 (N.D. Ill. May 7, 2014). A week later, counsel indicated six devices: two personal computers, an iPad, an iPhone, a Blackberry (which was returned to Network), and a work laptop provided by defendant's new employer. After the court's order, the parties agreed to split the cost of imaging three personal devices: the personal computers and the iPad. Once the imaging was performed by the independent consultant, it was determined that three previously undisclosed flash drives had been connected to defendant's personal computers during the relevant time frame. Id. The plaintiff demanded immediate access to those flash drives, as they may contain relevant evidence. The court agreed, even though the initial connection of the flash drives to the personal computers happened months after the employee was terminated from Network. The court insisted that plaintiff pay the full cost of imaging the additional devices, though, stating "[t]he likelihood that Pappas was using these flash drives to transfer Network's confidential information would seem to become more remote with the passage of time." Id. at *3. Defendant Pappas was forced to turn over flash drives and personal computers. While the target of the investigation is possible stolen proprietary material, through forensic imaging the independent consultant had access to each and every file on the device. Perhaps Pappas can take solace in the fact that her iPhone wasn't subject to discovery, as the device likely contains more sensitive data than just high scores to Candy Crush.

Communication is key to any joint status report! Parties should not risk annoying the court by refusing to withdraw a motion when both sides are essentially in agreement. The court will find a protective order unnecessary when the defendants completely understand their preservation duties, acknowledge their duties, and have made substantial efforts to preserve discoverable evidence. Under such circumstances, the plaintiff or moving party will both lose the motion and risk wasting the court's valued time. In McDaniel v. Loyola University Medical Center, McDaniel, the plaintiff, filed a motion seeking a document preservation order after learning that the Loyola University Medical Center, the defendant, planned to change its e-mail system provider. The defendant was transitioning from GroupWise to Microsoft Office, and the plaintiff feared that relevant e-mails would be erased or lost. In response, the court directed the parties to confer in an effort to resolve the preservation issue in a mutually agreeable way. In the submitted joint status report, the defendant demonstrated its belief that it had adequately assured the plaintiff of his spoliation concerns; however the plaintiff was still unwilling to withdraw the motion. As a starting proposition, a party has a duty to preserve evidence if it reasonably knew or could reasonably foresee was material to a potential legal action. Almost a year before the plaintiff filed his initial complaint in this case, the defendant issued litigation holds and constant reminders to 71 employees who may have information relevant to the litigation. Furthermore, the defendant took similar precautions with the additional 20 custodians identified by the plaintiff. Despite the defendant continually recognizing that it was under an obligation to preserve evidence, the plaintiff needlessly insisted that a preservation order was a necessary additional precaution. The court disagreed with the plaintiff and held that a preservation order was unnecessary. When deciding whether to enter the preservation order, the court considered (1) whether the plaintiff demonstrated that the defendant would destroy evidence, (2) whether the plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm without a preservation order, and (3) the burden that likely would result from granting the protective order. Here, the defendant was fully apprised of the scope and gravity of its preservation duties, and the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the defendant would destroy evidence without a preservation order. The court found that a protective order would be superfluous and needlessly burdensome in this case. Moreover, the court noted in its decision that the parties appeared to be talking past each other and, in actuality, were in complete agreement regarding the defendant's preservation duties. Lawyers must avoid submitting superfluous and needlessly burdensome motions to the court. Do not waste the court's valuable time with unnecessary motions on issues that have already been mutually agreed on by both parties. The last thing any lawyer should want to do is to get on a judge's bad side during the discovery stage of the litigation.

This case provides an important lesson for any person involved in a lawsuit involving text messages as evidence. Here, a group of employees was suing their employer for discrimination under Title VII. When the discovery process began, the defendants requested a number of text messages relating to the conduct of the employees during the relevant time period of the discrimination. These text messages were permitted to be discoverable by the defendant and the plaintiff was ordered to turn over the relevant text messages. The plaintiffs' lawyer then gave the plaintiffs instructions to preserve all data relevant to the case; otherwise they could face sanctions by the court, which could negatively impact their suit. Spoliation is the legal term for deleting or destroying information sought by the opposing party. This is precisely what occurred here. Apparently the plaintiffs felt that if they simply deleted a portion of the requested text messages that the defendant would have no way to access that information and thus the problem would be solved; if there even was a problem to begin with. When the defendant discovered that these texts had not been turned over with the rest of the discovery they inquired about their whereabouts. The plaintiffs responded that the texts had been deleted. Obviously perturbed, the defendant then subpoenaed the mobile carrier, T-Mobile, and recovered the deleted texts. However, now the plaintiffs had a problem; they had deliberately attempted to conceal and destroy relevant information. The defendant then filed a motion to dismiss based on the actions of the plaintiff. The court granted the motion in part but denied the dismissal of all charges. Though, the court did impose sanctions upon the plaintiff, which carried the potential to seriously harm their case even if everything else went well. The simple lesson here is that you should never conceal, delete, or destroy any relevant information sought by the opposing party. Ultimately the content of the text messages remains unimportant in light of the plaintiffs' spoliation. The plaintiffs should have followed their lawyer's instruction to preserve the information. Had they turned over the information, their lawyer would have been able to combat the text messages in court in front of the jury. However, due to their actions, they were sanctioned and essentially handcuffed their counselor from undercutting any information contained within the text messages. Spoliation is never the answer even if you are required to turn over information that does not weigh in your favor. These plaintiffs learned the hard way; do not make the same mistake and follow your lawyer's instructions. A.S.

In May 2014, Hon. Janet Bond Arterton, U.S.D.J. for the District of Connecticut ruled that sanctions were not appropriate in a case involving the conversion of a security video's native format. Plaintiff Robert Crawford brought a motion for spoliation sanctions—including an adverse-inference instruction and monetary sanctions—against the Defendant City of New London for an alleged failure to preserve a hard drive containing video of Crawford's arrest. Plaintiff, whose underlying claim involves excessive force issues, suggested that the original format of a security video may have been capable of being enhanced, and as such, Defendants had a duty to preserve that original version, and turn it over for discovery. Judge Arterton disagreed. In examining whether sanctions were appropriate, the court first set about defining the parameters of spoliation. The court noted "[s]poliation is the destruction or significant alteration of evidence, or the failure to preserve property for another's use as evidence in pending or reasonably foreseeable litigation." Crawford v. City of New London, 2014 WL 2168430, *2 (D. Conn. May 23, 2014) (quoting West v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Co., 167 F.3d 776, 779 (2d Cir. 1999)). Later, the court analyzed the adverse-inference charge, and articulated "[a] party seeking an adverse inference instruction based on the destruction of evidence must establish (1) that the party having control over the evidence had an obligation to preserve it at the time it was destroyed; (2) that the records were destroyed with a culpable state of mind; and (3) that the destroyed evidence was relevant to the party's claim or defense such that a reasonable trier of fact could find that it would support that claim or defense." Id. (quoting Chin v. Port. Auth. of N.Y. & N.J., 685 F.3d 135, 162 (2d Cir. 2012)). Here, the court noted that Defendants' duty to preserve stemmed from a hold letter received pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act on June 24—nearly five months after the incident took place, and more than four months after New London's retention policy allows for transferring of data to portable storage. As such, while the Defendants certainly had a duty to preserve, there was no specific need for multiple copies of duplicative information. New London hadn't breached the preservation duty. But what about "Significant Alteration?" Spoliation isn't just about destruction. Plaintiffs argued that in converting the video evidence from the format present on the hard drive to the portable storage versions on DVD, Defendants sacrificed the integrity of metadata, or of the files themselves such that they could no longer be enhanced for use in trial presentation. This novel argument suggested that were enhanced versions of the video available, perhaps the jury could see that Crawford's arrest on February 4, 2010, was enacted using excessive force. The court was not persuaded by this argument. Testimony from the City of New London's Chief Information Officer indicated that the conversion to DVD was lossless, in that the new format preserved the video in every material way. Absent proof to the alternative, the moving party was unable to demonstrate "that the destroyed [or significantly altered] evidence was relevant . . . " under the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Evidence 401. Defendants were prepared for litigation, and they reasonably preserved all necessary data responsive to discovery request. Defendants' retention policy for the original hard drive housing security footage is acceptable, and preserving the data on portable media after formatting the drive is an added precaution going well-beyond the standard of care. Crawford is fortunate that Judge Arterton didn't force Plaintiffs to cover the costs of responding to the motion—if this author was on the bench, he might have.

It is common for an employer to supply company-owned laptop computers to its employees for doing their work. It is also not uncommon for such an employee to be involved in litigation with a third party where the company-owned computers used by the employee are subject to potential electronic discovery. Knowledge or expectation of such litigation by the employee gives rise to a duty to preserve. In many situations, the employee ends up resigning from the employment and having to return the company laptop computer to the employer. In this whole sequence of events, what should the employee do as to the laptop computer in order to satisfy his/her duty to preserve and thus defeat a motion for preservation order by his/her adversarial? The case of Cognate Bioservices v. Smith sheds some light onto this issue. In Cognate Bioservices v. Smith, Cognate sued Smith for violations of the Computer Fraud Abuses Act and misappropriation of products and trade Secret in the Northern Division of the District Court for the District of Maryland. Smith was previously the CEO of Cognate and had access to trade secrets stored on Cognate servers as well as in a laptop computer provided to Smith by Cognate. Smith then resigned and became the head of the US operation of an Israeli competitor of Cognate, MacroCure. Smith, however, did not give the laptop back to Cognate until more than two years after his termination with Cognate. During that time, he had accessed the Cognate server as well as the laptop computer still in his hands, giving rise to the suspicion by Cognate that he had downloaded trade secrets from Cognate. For his work with MacroCure, Smith bought a second laptop (the Dell laptop) and was reimbursed for the purchase price by MacroCure. Soon after the start of this litigation in the federal court, Smith resigned from MacroCure. Cognate moved the Court to issue a preservation order as to the Dell laptop and Smith objected. This federal action was filed on June 19, 2013. Smith gave Cognate notice that the Dell laptop he used in connection with his employment at MacroCure would be returned after his resignation. Smith then returned the Dell laptop to MacroCure in late July or early August 2013. The motion for preservation order was filed August 15, 2013. After the filing of the motion, Smith contacted the person to whom he returned the Dell laptop, Idan Peer, and requested that he not dispose or delete any of the files on the computer. In addition, Smith's counsel provided Cognate with Peer's mailing address. Cognate argue that the preservation order is still necessary because, by returning the Dell laptop, Smith has demonstrated the urgent need for an order preserving evidence and he also appears to have the practical ability to obtain the return of that evidence. The court disagreed and held that Smith compiled with his duty to preserve material evidence with respect to the Dell laptop. Court-issued preservation order is inappropriate when such duty is met and there is no evidence showing risk of spoliation of evidence. The court is more willing to rely on the duty to preserve to regulate conduct without resorting to preservation orders. This is regardless of whether there is undue burden for Smith to obtain a return of the Dell laptop. Thus, if an employee gets into a similar situation, to avoid a preservation order, make sure that notice about the return of the employer-provided computer is given to the adversarial, that the person receiving the computer is notified as to preserving the data on the computer, and that the information about the custody of the computer is given to the adversarial.

In Freedman v. Weatherford Int'l, Ltd., Weatherford hired law firm Latham & Watkins to review allegations of security fraud made to Weatherford's whistleblower hotline. Latham found no evidence of fraud. However, a second investigation was conducted by Davis Polk & Wardwell, LLP. Plaintiff's alleged that Davis's second investigation reveal that Latham actually discovered evidence of wrongdoing. Plaintiffs sought reports comparing the results of Weatherford's production with search terms and productions related to the two investigations and search terms proposed by the plaintiff, in order to test the adequacy and reasonableness of Weatherford's initial production. Weatherford objected, noting that Plaintiff had no legal basis for its request and its requested production was "hugely burdensome." The District Court for the Southern District of New York held that the plaintiff's request was "outside the bounds of Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure . . . [because they did] . . . not proffer an adequate factual basis for their belief that the production [was] deficient." Plaintiff's claim that Weatherford's production was deficient because 85% of the pages produced related to different case was too conclusory. Furthermore, the Court was not surprised that Weatherford used dramatically different search terms here compared to search terms used in the two investigations and a related action, because of the differing class periods and varying false statements. The court also addresses arguments related to Subject matter waiver and the crime-fraud exception of the attorney-client privilege, but these arguments were not related to e-discovery.

This dispute stems from Plaintiff Linda Riley's slip and fall at a Marriott hotel in Hawaii (her husband, James, is another named plaintiff). As a result of this fall, in simple terms, Riley broke her right leg and sustained permanent nerve damage including sensory motor loss and weakness in her right foot. Riley contends Marriott was negligent for failing to remove accumulated water (it had been raining that day), provide a non-slip surface, or provide warning signs. The entire accident was recorded on Marriott's security cameras, and according to the loss prevention manager, the footage is maintained for 30 days. However, during discovery, instead of being provided with several hours of footage, Riley was only provided with about 7 minutes; the rest was destroyed. The footage released began about one minute before Riley's accident, and ended before Riley was even lifted off of the ground! Plaintiff rightfully believed she was prejudiced because: (1) she is unable to determine how much water was removed from the location and how long it took hotel staff to remove it, and (2) that the loss prevention manager's testimony regarding the footage cannot be meaningfully challenged because the footage was gone. This recording was apparently turned over to the Marriott's liability insurance carrier, but neither Marriott's investigation into its destruction (if one occurred) nor the results of any such investigation were ever disclosed. Even maintenance logs—that might have also denoted any water that was removed from the floor or the placement of any signs—were also allegedly destroyed. From this, the court "easily" found Marriott had a duty to preserve both the sweep logs and the video footage from the day of the accident. Further, the court recognized Marriott's failure to offer any justification for its failure to preserve the evidence. For these actions, the court found "at a minimum, gross negligence." The question then turned to imposing sanctions. Fortunately for Marriott, their answer was not stricken. Nonetheless, their failure to preserve evidence still resulted in an adverse inference instruction regarding the video footage, or lack thereof. This means the absence of a recording can, at trial, corroborate Plaintiffs' statements that there were no warning signs at the time of the accident and that water had also accumulated on the floor. Of note here, the jury would not be required to make such an inference. However, Marriott might not be eager to take that chance.

Indiana has set the date of the Cream and Crimson Game for April 13 and also set the dates for its 15 spring practices. Whether any of those practices will be open to the public is not noted (and probably isn't likely). Regardless, the spring session will begin on Saturday, March 2.

ESPN has ranked the 2013 IU FB recruiting class at #39. It is not hard to guess who the top 12 are. PSU-24, Wisky-32, MSU-34 and Illinois-40. PUke not listed in the top 50. I cannot recall IU ever being ranked better than around 70.
One more step in the right direction.
Did ND end up redshirting Gunner? I know his name wasn't even on the depth chart when I looked.
Gunner told a Chicago Tribune reporter he is very happy with decision to go to ND. So to translate: I'll be transferring soon after I get my ring.
Optimistic about Indiana Football this year, though trying not to get all amped up, because I have been let down many times before. Thus far, Wilson hasn't let me down. Looking at this class, our defense has no where to go but up. I think we have the right coaches as well.
I take that back. Doug Mallory might have to be dumped, but hopefully he can redeem himself this year.
I'm betting if Gunner contacted CKW about giving IU another look see he'd be greeted with a ,"Thanks but no thanks."
I'd guess Coach wouldn't give 'ol Gunner the time of day.
Makes no sense to dump DM after 2 years working with lesser rated talent recruited before he arrived and good talent not appearing until the 2013 season. It'll be 2 more years before the jury can even vote. Recruiting is the medicine needed not new coaching.
Agreed, but his defense was a mess at New Mexico, and had plenty of years to fix it.
He had exactly 2 years in NM Ben. Or 1 recruiting class. That is not "plenty of years to fix it". No one, I repeat no one could succeed at NM when lead by HC Mike Locksley who created an environment on and off the field begging to fail. We are damn lucky to have DM at IU. In fact IU has the highest caliber group of defensive coaches on staff ever. If in fact after 2 more seasons the IU D is not MUCH tougher, I'll join you in blaming DM, ME, Hagen, Fabris and Shelby.
Mallory may not be to blame, but he may also not be the solution. I'm not seeing the improvement in his players. He should not be expected to have a great defense after two years, but he should be able to show significant improvement, and I've yet to see it. Coaching matters a lot!
You get what you pay for. Low rated talent = marginal improvement = slow progress. Because of the talent on hand I am actually pleased with the amount of improvement. And even happier with the energy and effort put out. Recruiting matters a lot.
I agree with PO, but with good talent coming in, maybe he will make a liar of me. Sometimes I feel as if we hold on to Mallory, because wont don't to piss them off again. I like the other coaches, especially Fabris I love having some Georgia Bulldog/SEC influence on the team.
You kidding HC? You want to fire Mike Eckler? His motivation, and charisma is exactly what we need. He did wonderful things at Nebraska. As your fond of saying, once he grabs ahold of better talent, he will exceed in his job.
Ben, don't think that HC anywhere mentions firing Eckelar or Mallory. HC's suggestion that we watch as the defense is rebuilt from a below 0 level and a nearly empty warehouse, while given some experience and schooling is reasonable. Yes, this year we should expect to see some improvement and, at the very least, not have a defense that automatically cancels out the offense. The Hoosiers and KW deserve that.
As HC also points out Mallory spent two years in a very unstable situation at New Mexico; but he also had several excellent years as a position coach at LSU, as the following reference describes through 2007. "In three years, Mallory's impact on the LSU secondary has been significant and impressive as he's guided the Tigers to a No. 3 national rating in pass efficiency defense… for three-straight years…As a unit, the Tiger' 2007 defense limited opposing offenses to only 182.7 yards passing per game and the Tigers intercepted 23 passes…"
Not sure what happened there after his promotion to defensive coordinator at LSU; and it seems New Mexico was just the wrong place. It is important Ben (I think) that here at IU we not get nervous too quickly. More often than not, the successful programs are those that allow time to establish success. We'll all be looking carefully (and anxiously) at the product on the field in 2013.
Glad you've joined us and are sharing your thoughts. We're all hoping Indiana becomes known for its football on the same terms as other nationally respected programs.
…and Mallory will "exceed" also…and for the same reason as Ekler…Recruiting…which is exactly what kicked this discussion into gear, post #1…
Signing day can't come fast enough!
Our local high school, the one my kids attended, will have a player on each team in the BCS Championship, Jeff Pagan for Alabama and Ben Councell for ND (Ben's older brother took my daughter to the prom). Jeff transferred to Asheville High School after his sophomore year. Ben's a linebacker and, I believe, Jeff is a defensive end. They will both see the field a lot in the big game.
There was a cute story written by the QB of their JV team, Caleb Pressley, who is now a backup QB for the Tar Heels. When they all played JV, Pagan was a 6'5″, 240lb wideout and Ben a similar sized tight end. A couple years later Jeff intercepted one of Caleb's passes and ran it back 85 yards to seal the win for Asheville. After the game Caleb approached him and said, "In all the years we've played together I think that was the first time you actually caught a pass that I threw."
It was their only stumbling block in a year that ended in a 4A title. In the championship game Ben blocked the potential winning field goal on the last play of the game.
Seems like a lot of people feel the need to defend Mallory, or make excuses for his unit's below-average performance. I like Mallory. I liked his Dad a lot and thought his termination was a huge mistake. But this is a bottom-line business. Yes, there has been improvement in the secondary, but it was impossible for IU's secondary to get worse after Mallory's first year. Just look at the rate of improvement his father's team had after three years. That seems like a reasonable standard.
I'm not advocating firing Mallory now, but if IU's secondary continues to suck in 2013, Mallory will be out of excuses and should be fired. Three years is plenty of time to demonstrate that you can drive significantly improved performance, regardless of the players you inherited. Does anyone think Wilson will hesitate to replace Mallory if his portion of the defense's performance is still well below average in 2013? IU's defense cost the team three games this year and a trip to a bowl game. That won't be tolerated much longer.
Understood HC and Tsau, and point well taken. Thanks for the mature opinions. I think we can all agree we are very hungry and desperate for a quality IU Football team. It will be a wonderful site to see The Rock filled. Though I guess IU Football fans are fair weather fans. When they are good, they will come out.
Btw, I never introduced myself. Lived 25 years in Indiana. Small town called North Webster. Near Lake Wawasee or 40 miles west of Ft Wayne or 40 miles southeast of South Bend. In Dothan, AL now.
Podunker, I agree with your overall view as reflected in every word you wrote. I think, in essence, that is what HC is saying as well. The image of opposing running backs running past linebackers, CB's and safeties in crimson/white shirt and a helmet with an 'I' on it running into each other, grab and let go or passively allowing the runner 30-40 yards while arriving to the play only to get the number on the back of their shirts on the TV screen is forever burned into my retina and creates a sense of embarrassment to this day. Hopefully, it is a sense that is shared by the defensive staff and one that KW is committed to erasing from teams that carry his 'brand'.
That said, I couldn't be happier nor feel better about the vision KW is translating into a culture for Hoosiers. I couldn't feel better about KW and staff's apparent devotion to turn every nook and cranny upside down, search under every rock for B1G, 'real B1G potential' players, the clear avoidance of bringing in 'wannabes' and to the teaching commitment, knowledge and talent to teach and develop this real potential into 'real skill and performance'.
I love reading KW comments in interviews. His observations about football are as true to the way they (and hopefully 'we') will live their lives. It is so consistent with what he (KW) appears to be as a man. I admire the talent and mind, his philosophy for sacrifice, commitment and group achievement for its simplicity and devotion to hard work.
I also really admire KW's commitment to thinking, innovation and creativity anchored by a hard edge. And, see it reflected in the same qualities and 'pushing of the envelope' by staff like Seth Litrell (look at what was accomplished with not one but three qb's, the constant forced need to adjust offense based on talented by barely out of high school qb's, the development of running backs). And, I couldn't be happier than the edge and character that seems to be reflected on a 'career' coach like Jon Fabris.
Because they seem to be what you and I have hoped for and prayed we would get for more than 35 years (collectively Po- you, HC, Chet and I are closing in on more than a century- yes, I calculate more than 110 years minimum) of searching and hoping we had the right 'One' (coach, staff)- I now humbly defer to KW and his wisdom and sense for whatever he needs and for whatever adjustments are needed and when to make them.
You know Podunker, HoosierC, Chet, MassH… we will never be too old to meet for one last big Hoosier drunk to celebrate (hopefully together for two days on a train) enroute to Pasadena. (And, on the way back, we can kidnap KW to make the return trip with the four-of-us OOHG+ Old Hoosier Geezers…plus).
But for now, we're paying KW enough to let him make the hard decisions while we try to figure out where we boxed our Knickerbocker baggy kneed 3/4 pants.
I love KW. I really think he is the right man for this job. Of coarse I would love to go to a bowl game, but if he can get us 5 wins this season, you won't see me on these boards crying. 1, 4, 5 wins. See a trend? I would prefer 3 Big Ten wins, from our 2 last year, and sweep non conference, but I will take any win! I get a lot of gruff living in Alabama, and wearing my Hoosier Basketball/Football shirts to work, but I don't care! No state or woman will take the Hoosier out of me. Lol
Ben, the world is small…a bit more than 50 years ago I used to go to a North Webster (on Lake Webster) during the summer, while attempting the then ritual "passing into manhood' (mostly failures) with the summer crowd there. Still have fond memories and laugh at myself as a character out of a Ron Howard 'Happy Days' episode.
More than glad you are here (while in Alabama). The train to Pasadena departs from Chicago around 5pm each day.
Ben…I should have included some of the more recent members of Lambda Sigma Phi fraternity (Long Suffering Footbal fraternity). The least we can do when that day comes is to honor your devotion and love for tradition and take you 'newbies' (along on our choo-choo ride and teach you to drink and cry/laugh like 'old geezers' while remembering the 'days').
Ohhhhh God!!!! I am sorry!!! I meant Harvard…I absolutely won't even go without Harvard…; but Harvard, we're only allowed to cry about the 1946-2012 futility of being a Hoosier football fan…no evoking melancholy for the love of it,… please!!!!!
There are others, Southport, JPat; and some really good 'Crimson colored new blood', Ron, Punjab, Dan. Fun trip…we'll take Dustin and Andy (and corrupt their 'journalistic values').
If IU makes to the Rose Bowl, and I'm still alive, I will be there.
It too was impossible for IU'S LB's to get any worse after Ekler's 1st season. Their improvement has not advanced ahead of DM's safeties. In a bottom lie business IU's co-D's have both earned the same grade after 2 seasons. Recruiting is what both need to make the turn for IU.
Party Train Chicago to Pasadena, Rehab Train Pasadena to the Windy. Hope there will be a Doctor on board for us IU veterans and Chet and his 2 wheeler.

Sure enough, the once-upon-a-time championship-contending L.A. Lakers might be a team in need of drastic changes sooner than later.
Yet the question is, will anything change prior to the trade deadline following the All-Star break?
Players like PF Pau Gasol and C Andrew Bynum have been on the trade block since the beginning of the 2011-2012 NBA season, starting with what was a near-trade with the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul.
At just 18-13 on the season and 4-4 in their last eight games, the Lakers are surely thinking changes will have to be made sooner than later.
These are the five changes to the Lakers roster the team could well see before the trade deadline.

To me, Hell is a place with Facebook membership.
haha, I love it!
Been nearly a year, but on some comics I can almost hear a frustrated voice trying/wishing to be heard
Closest I can come to missing the rants
I started laughing when I read your comment. Yeah, I can almost imagine the rants on this one. Don't miss them, but I can imagine them. He's on FB, "friends" with some of the comic artists there. (Why they friended him, I'll never understand…) Every once in a while, he'll cut loose there like he used to do here.
He could always be depended upon at Comics.con, also, whenever a hell or heaven themed comic came up. Probably won't be much of a surprise to hear that he also irked a cartoonist or two over there.
Long time no see. Hope all is well.
All is well, Grog – thanks. I was just hanging out at Comics.com for a while.
Yep, that place will be a BIG time reality check for too many.

The Tigers scored in five of its six innings and outscored Spirit Lake 7-0 in the last three innings to improve to 3-0 in Lakes Conference play this season.
Spirit Lake took a 3-2 lead after the top of the third but the Tiger bats would put up four runs in the bottom half to retake the lead, featuring a two-run single by Paige McCord and an RBI-double by Hailey Huckfelt. McCord, a senior right fielder, went 3-for-5 with five RBIs on the night.
The Tigers would score 11 runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, and starting pitcher Carly Richardson would shut out the Indians over the final three frames to earn the complete-game win.
Alexa Allen collected three hits and stole two bases, Madi Rost and Huckfelt each recorded two hits including a double, and Richardson tripled in two runs.
The Tigers will travel to face Lakes Conference foe, Estherville Lincoln Central, on Wednesday, who's currently ranked ninth in 3A.
"We've got our hands full this week, but the girls believe they can play with anybody, and they can," Spencer coach Greg Jones said.
Spencer defeated Graettinger-Terril, 12-0, in four innings at Saturday's ELC tournament in Estherville. Taylor Anderson picked up the win. In its second game, Spencer fell to North Union, ranked No. 1 in 2A, 11-2.

On the brighter side of the news, a billionaire pharmaceutical developer has donated $100 million to a Santa Monica hospital, with more than half the funds going to research projects and facilities.
Patrick Soon-Shiong and his wife, Michele Chan, donated the money to St. John's Health Center, a 380-bed Catholic hospital.
St. John's Chief Executive Lou Lazatin said Thursday $55 million will create several research centers and fund future projects.
Read our new blog series, La Iglesia Hispana, focusing on Hispanic Catholics, the church's new emerging majority.
The donation includes $35 million already spent on renovating and expanding the hospital and $10 million to attract doctors and scientists.
The couple donated a separate $35 million to St. John's in 2007.

NFL 2012 Season — Week Nine Recap
Record-setting individual performances highlighted the Week 9 action of the 2012 NFL season. Here's a recap of this week's games:
Record-setting individual performances highlighted the Week 9 action of the 2012 NFL season. Here's a recap of this week's games:
Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes and the Chargers' defense added two late scores on Chiefs' turnovers, as San Diego routed visiting Kansas City, 31-13, on Thursday night.
Last week's showdowns knocked several teams from the ranks of the unbeaten and shook up the rankings. This week, we get two of the biggest games of the season, with Alabama-LSU and Oregon-USC setting the stage for conference- and national-championship runs.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. Here is what to watch for around the top 25:
Several key intra-conference matchups highlight the schedule for Week 9 of the 2012 NFL season. Here's a preview of this week's games:
Alex Smith completed 18 of 19 pass attempts for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals, 24-3, in Arizona on Monday night.
There's a lot of argument over this anonymous clip. Not about the guy doing a forward flip right over the person about to tackle him: That's obviously a display of athleticism...
The New York Giants won despite blowing a big lead, and the Atlanta Falcons remained undefeated. Here's a recap of all of Sunday's action:
Two World Series games, college football and an NFC East showdown highlight this weekend's sports offerings. Here's what to watch:
It's always a sad moment when you realize that college football's regular season is more than halfway done, but it should still be a fun week with lots of exciting games on tap. Six of the top 10 teams in the country play ranked opponents, and 13 top 25 teams face challenges on the road.
Here is what to watch this week in college football:
With the NFL approaching the halfway point of the 2012 season, division races are beginning to take shape, as teams anticipate the second half of their schedule. Here's a preview of this week's action:
The stupidity of fans who run onto the field during a game is endless.

Scott unfreezes nearly $90 million in road projects
Published: Friday, January 14, 2011 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 11:39 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Rick Scott has approved 71 transportation contracts worth nearly $90 million, moving swiftly following criticism that his 90-day freeze on state contracts is delaying job-creation.
The governor's office announced the action Thursday, a day after the state Senate's Democratic leader complained that his mandated review of state contracts worth more than $1 million had halted dozens of road-building projects.
The newly announced contract approvals were dated Wednesday, when Senate Democratic leader Nan Rich of Weston criticized Scott for the hold on $400 million in transportation contracts approved before he took office last week.
The hold affected projects ranging from adding express lanes to Interstate 95 to a resurfacing job planned in Manatee County.
It also threatened to delay projects in the pipeline, including a planned resurfacing of State Road 60 in Polk County and installing a new cable barrier along Interstate 275 in Manatee County.
Scott defended the temporarily contract halt and said earlier this week the projects would be reviewed "promptly."
"The reason I did it is I believe the state needs to spend its money better," Scott said this week. "Things that we need to get approved, we're going to get them approved and get things going."
Scott did not say exactly how long the state review would take.
"They're working through it quickly. But we're going to do a review. We have enough money," he said. "We're taking enough in state revenues. We're going to watch how we spend this money. My job is to watch how this money is spent and I'm going to do it."
Some Democratic legislators complained that Scott is doing nothing more than adding another layer of bureaucracy to state government.
But Sen. J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, the Senate budget chief, supported Scott. Alexander tried unsuccessfully the last two years to push a measure giving lawmakers more control.
A spokesman for Scott said the idea was to prevent a repeat of recent controversial expenditures, such as the new 1st District Court of Appeal courthouse in Tallahassee that has come under fire.

Definition of overwinter in English:
verb[no object]
1 [with adverbial of place] Spend the winter: many birds overwinter in equatorial regions
More example sentences
- The film director humorously compared the number of people who rectified their name with the number of black-faced spoonbills, a protected migratory bird that overwinters in Taiwan.
- Though the population is still fragile, today as many as 1,000 birds overwinter in the state.
- Most of them overwinter elsewhere, like the broad-tailed and rufous hummingbirds that pass the cold months in central Mexico, migrating back in summer to drink flow-er nectar and make their chicks on high.
2(Of an insect, plant, etc.) live through the winter: the germinated seeds will overwinter
More example sentences
