Welcome as we go kicking and screaming into the new world of the Wordpress format, where we're pleased to start things off by announcing Liberty Media's surprising decision to immediately double the Braves' payroll and, more importantly, splurge for all-expenses paid trips to the San Diego/L.A. trip for three Braves/MIB blog denizens to join me in SoCal Aug. 3-9!
OK, none of that is true.
Well, except for the part about us starting today on the new Wordpress format.
And this blog is a very rough version of what's to come, because I don't have a good grasp of the technology and because the bold-face and italics functions don't seem to work very well, at least when I preview this page.
We're giving it a first run today before we head to Florida for spring training on Friday, reporting for assignment one day ahead of pitchers and catchers, who are due in Saturday. Folks, do you realize we're going to be in Florida 50 freakin' days this spring training, counting Friday? Yes, 50 days. Damn the WBC!
(I'm serious about the WBC. At least the timing of it. If it didn't line the coffers, they wouldn't even consider having this thing disrupt spring training the way it does. And they know that if they had it in November, they wouldn't have even one-third as many star players agree to participate. And there's no way to compress this thing into an All-Star break, so that's not a realistic option.)
Anyway, where were we? Oh, with the Braves and Tom Glavine butting heads. No, wait. That's probably overstating it. After all, Tom and his agent met with GM Frank Wren for quite a while Wednesday, after an informal breakfast meeting between Glavine and Wren a week or so earlier.
Both sides want to get this done. It's just that the Braves want soon-to-be 43-year-old Glavine to take a deep paycut after his injury-ruined 2008 season.
Now, I think most of us rational folks can see why the Braves are reluctant, with no more than $5-7 million left to spend in their budget, to commit half of it to an aging pitcher coming back from elbow and shoulder surgeries, however serious those surgeries were (the elbow was significant, but not nearly as much as "Tommy John" surgery; the shoulder procedure was a routine "clean-up" thing).
But I think plenty of us could understand why a 305-game winner (the only living, unretired 300-game winner in baseball — might be less than thrilled by a mere $1 million guarantee and incentives that could be worth a maximum of only $3 million.
Think about it: If he went 13-8 with 200 innings pitched, the way he did in 2007, Glavine would still make only $3 mill in the contract the Braves have offered him. If he 15-7 with a 4.01 ERA and 198 innings, as he did in 2006, he'd still make just $3 mill.
And if he got hurt again like he did last year, when he went 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA and only 63 innings, Glavine would probably get $2 mill (the current offer is for $1 million, plus another $1 million if he makes the opening-day roster; he would get the final $1 million if he didn't get hurt before the 60-day mark).
He'd get another $1 mill if he's still on the roster after 60 days. That's $3 mill total, if he makes it to the 60-day mark. Which seems fairly reasonable, actually, especially in a real-world economy that's finally trickled down to baseball.
However, it should be noted, Mike Hampton got a one-year, $2 million guaranteed contract this winter from the Houston Astros. Someone can look this up, but I think he's missed some starts and been on the DL one or two (or seven, or 10) times in recent years.
(And please, can we confine this to actual relevance. By that I mean, I know the economy's gone to hell in hand basket and millions of people are out of work. And yes, of course baseball players and other athletes and entertainers make obscene amounts of money, compared to you and me and just about everyone else who's not a CEO of a failed financial institution. But it's been that way for a long time, and as long as some movie stars make $10 mill or more for working a few months on a movie, or a few talk-show hosts make more than that for sitting behind a desk interviewing people … well, folks, they get what the market will bear. And folks in dangerous and/or noble jobs like cops, teachers, soldiers and sports writers — OK, sorry, thought I'd try to slip that through — are, relatively speaking, vastly underpaid.)
The thing that Glavine is upset about is that there is no way for him to make anything more under that contract. He'd like the opportunity to earn more incentives, to push the deal to perhaps $5 million or more, if he has the kind of season he was still having every year until 2008.
(For those who act like we can start correcting that disparity by not paying Glavine more than $1 mill guaranteed or paying him a maximum of $3 million. Even in this economy, Brad Penny signed a one-year, $5 million guaranteed contract this winter with Boston, after going 6-9 with a 6.27 ERA in 95 innings in an injury-plagued 2008 season with the Dodgers. He's got no ties, no history with Boston, which also gave the aforementioned Bearded Icon (Smoltz) a $5.5 mill guaranteed contract, even though he had major shoulder surgery, will be 42, and might not pitch until June. Hey, and 45-year-old Randy Johnson this winter got a two-year, $8 million contract with San Francisco, after totaling 240 innings and 15 wins over the past two seasons combined. Just saying, dude's as old as me, with a back that's even worse than mine. Far worse, actually.)
It's worth noting, Glavine had never been on the disabled list in his entire major league career until 2008, and had pitched at least 200 innings in 10 of the past 12 seasons before last year (and 198 innings in one of the two years he fell short of 200 in that span).
Glavine says he'll be creative with the Braves and agree to defer money if it'll help them with this year's payroll. As he said, if he's on the team he wants them to be able to sign an outfielder.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if he's really willing to defer salary, would it be unreasonable for the Braves to offer him a contract that pays him what they've already agreed to pay him this year — $1 mill guaranteed, $1 mill if he's on the opening day roster, and $1 mill if he's on the roster after 60 days -– plus another $2 mill or $3 mill in possible incentives, for making 25 and 30 starts and/or pitching 175 innings, with all of that additional incentive money to be deferred for a year or two?
Doesn't it seem like the Braves and a pitcher with so much Atlanta history, such deep roots in the community (despite a five-year affair with Flushing), could work out such a deal? Particularly after the icon (Smoltz) already left this winter, leaving a lot of fans upset and leaving only Glavine, Chipper Jones and Bobby Cox around from the Atlanta Braves' 1990s Mount Rushmore (or Stone Mountain, as it were).
If Glavine isn't good enough to beat out Jorge Campillo, Jo-Jo Reyes, Charlie Morton and uber prospect Tommy Hanson this spring, well, then you pat him on the back and consider that $1 mill guarantee the gold watch he'll get for his years or service to the Bravos (if I'm not mistaken, Glavine had five 20-win seasons and won a memorable postseason game or two for Atlanta).
* Mariners to sign the Kid or Garret Anderson: So if Seattle signs Ken Griffey Jr. or Garret Anderson this week, some of you have asked if the Braves will pounce on the other. Well, don't hold your breath waiting for that development.
While Griffey can still hit right-handers, he's lost a lot and scouts who saw him last year say he can't get to a lot of fastballs. At his age, he's a risk the Braves, with their limited remaining funds, seem unwilling to take. I could be wrong, but I think they'd rather see how their young kids do in spring training and/or try to trade for Nick Swisher soon, if his price comes down or the Yankees are willing to offset a couple mill of his $5.3 mill '09 salary.
There's no question that this weeks signings of Bobby Abreu (by the Angels) and Adam Dunn (by the Nationals) diminished the field of potential run-producing outfielders for the Braves to choose from, but they were never going to give Dunn the kind of money he got from the Nationals (two years, $20 million).
Seeing Abreu sign for a mere $5 mill with incentives that could push it to $6 mill tell you something about how tight the Braves' budget really is — it's tight, folks.
As for Anderson (who's been almost Ryan Freel- or Carl Crawford-like in terms of recent obsession with some on the Braves/MIB blog), the guy's got poor plate discipline and his power has been in decline since the early part of the decade. Plus, he'd be changing leagues at age 36 (37 in June). I don't think Braves have much, if any, interest. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong (and I'll just delete those paragraphs after the announcement they've signed him).
* Another thing, re: Glavine's options: One other thing about Glavine (sorry to ramble on about the old lefty). Some have portrayed it as a decision he has to make this week or soon after, on whether to take this offer, go elsewhere or retire.
Actually, he could wait until March, knowing there's always a team or three that becomes desperate for starting pitching. Remember the Braves a couple years ago, when they literally brought Mark Redmond out of his Oklahoma basement (where he had makeshift pitching tunnel complete with a mound and home plate at the proper distance. (Along with a Bowflex machine used as a clothes rack, two bicycles with tires that have been flat for at least six years, a massive black & white Pulp Fiction poster with Jules and Vincent Vega pointing large guns, and a collection of VHS tapes that haven't been played in at least five years… No, wait, that's my basement. Nevermind.)
For what it's worth, Glavine has also pitched off a mound in his basement some this winter (he's also gotten out and pitched elsewhere, including Turner Field in front of Braves officials, who liked what they saw).
"If anything time is on my side," he told me last week, when he was prepared to keep pitching in Atlanta when spring training began in Florida (Braves pitchers and catchers report to Dark Star on Saturday).
"I'll just continue doing my thing, continue getting myself to the point where I'm ready to start pitching in some games, which I'm confident is going to be early March, and see where that happens, whether it's with the Braves or somewhere else.
"Someone always gets hurt in spring training, or a team is not happy with how things shake out with the pitchers they have. Just keep doing what I'm doing here, keep getting myself ready to pitch, and I'm confident the phone will ring from somebody. I hope it's here, but we'll see."
After his meeting with Wren on Wednesday, it sounded like not much had changed.
* Counting on Hampton (no, really): Who'd have thought anyone would be talking about the star-crossed, injury-plagued (collossal understatement) former Braves lefty in these terms, afer he missed the entire 2006 and '07 seasons and made 13 starts in '08.
Richard Justice wrote this last Sunday in the Houston Chronicle: "Hampton is the most important piece of the puzzle. If he's even close to being as good as he was his first time around, the Astros have a great chance of contending.
"He has made just 25 starts the past four years and didn't throw his first pitch last season until July 26. Hampton had an 8.10 ERA in his first four starts. After that, he was terrific, rolling up a 3.72 ERA with quality starts in eight of his last nine turns.
"[General manager Ed] Wade is betting Hampton finally is healthy and that, at 36, he's still capable of being a top-of-the-rotation starter.
"Hampton wasn't in the original blueprint. The Astros began this offseason thinking they would have to say goodbye to [Jose] Valverde and Ty Wigginton to keep the payroll in the $100 million range. At some point, Wade and Astros president Tal Smith reconsidered their strategy and decided to say goodbye to Wolf, sign a cheaper starter and hold on to Valverde.
"Enter Hampton. Many other things have to happen for the Astros to contend, but everything begins with Hampton."
Oy. Much as we like him as a person, if everything begins or hinges on Hampton, it could be a long summer in Houston.
* OK, let's get this thing posted and see what the new format holds for the Braves/MIB blog and its denizens. Please be patient, folks, and get registered and start using this new format. We should be able to do a lot more linking and all kinds of cool stuff with audio and, eventually, video. But for now, I'm keeping it simple with the first post.
"CHARLEMAGNE'S HOME TOWN" by James McMurtry
I've got it all to myself now
Crack the window just a hair
Dark and close, the way I like it
Black tobacco chokes the air
I keep to myself, I lack the language
I measure out my life with coffee grounds
The trees are the color of ashes
In Charlemagne's home town
I said I didn't fear the distance
As if I'd ever been that tough
I can hear your voice across the water
But that's nowhere near enough
Won't you fly across that ocean
Take a train on down
Because the night's growing lonesome
In Charlemagne's home town
The fortune teller told me nothing
That I wouldn't have found out on my own
She read my palm and she took my money
She looked at me with eyes of stone
She said the odds are long and stacked against us
Still we try because we must
To keep from leaving our senses
Long forgotten in the dust
Like the bones of some saint
Beneath a church floor
Who must have died for lack of light
The color snapshots I sent you
All came out in black and white
There's a lonely child on a snow white pony
On a carousel in the market place
He sits on that horse and he looks right through me
A shadow falls across his face
What will I do when my glass is empty
What will I do when it all comes down
What will I do when it comes to nothing
In Charlemagne's home town

Headed out to Long Island last night for my g/f's best friend's 50th party. It had a 60s theme and an awesome live band
At around midnight, who shows up but ACE FREHLEY, he jammed for a few Hendrix improvs and then I had to leave…

I just got home and saw the news about Griffey. I think he is the best option out there, and would be perfect in a platoon situation with Matt Diaz.
Griffey just had knee surgery, and while his production dropped last year he still had 18HR 71RBI's, and a 353OBP. And against right handers he had 14HR 48 RBI's and a 379OBP.
He is going to play left field and platoon, so his body won't suffer as much. He still has a lot of presence in a lineup, and that's just what the Braves need.
February 14th, 2009

Im thinking…
February 14th, 2009
7:47 pm
We bat Junior #4 vs RHP
FWIW in a baseball mogul simulation they ALWAYS BAT McCann at #4 in our lineup, KJ at 5 or 6 and Chiiper #3, maybe the computer knows it all
February 14th, 2009
7:51 pm
Hello everybody,I hit some good balls in the batting cage today,just wanted to come on here and say hi to al you guys, Looks like this is gonna be a good camp this year.Our team looks real good. I am very impressed with our pitching staff.Before we start the questions and answer. I just got word from Frank who told me it was ok to make this announcement.The Braves will officially announce on WEd that we have signed Ken Griffey JR pending him passing his physical.
Ok lets start the questions.
February 14th, 2009
7:54 pm
How much does Griffey have left in the tank?Remember when we brought Griffey sr. in during the dismal late 70,s Braves.Maybe well find an unsigned player during the world games.It worked last time with Peter Moylan.Thank Goodness the Nationals are in our division at least we wont finish 5th.Come on Frank pick up your phone and Call Liberty media and see if we can get a stiulas plan going…mike

Andy K. Does McCann have a Mohawk? In the picture of him walking out to the cages, it sure looks like he does
Great jumpin' gosh almighty, I hope not…
Mitchie-san –
Haha, yeah! If I had my own computer……
February 14th, 2009
7:57 pm
I am for bringing back Glavine because it means the Braves will not need to rush Hansen to the majors. We are a much better team with the depth of the rotation it looks like the Braves are going to have.
If the Griffey move would not work out the Braves have more than enough pieces to get an OF at anytime in the season. Both moves make the Braves better.
I hope they happen
February 14th, 2009
7:58 pm
Hey, Chipper! Good to hear (read) from ya!
Ok lets start the questions.
Hmm…I'll come up with a good WBC Q in due time…
(I should have added a to my response to Andy K.)
February 14th, 2009
7:59 pm
David are you dumb? How can you listen to some stupid source? You have no credibility whatsoever. Griffey has said many times he wants to play in Seattle, he's going to Seattle.
February 14th, 2009
8:00 pm
If we do get griffey it should be in a platoon format.he is 39 and injury prone. McCann should hit cleanup and have griffey hit 5th. If they get him also that makes for 5 position players who are left handed. also chipper himself admits he hits for more power from the left side. In a division that has cole hamels and johan santana. Is five possibly 6 LH batters a wise move? And they should sign grampa glavine so it can give hanson and morton a chance to gain confidence in beating up on triple A. In doing that they can be ready for either the second half push or to compete for a starting role next season.
February 14th, 2009
8:02 pm
Braves have spent more than any team this offseason except the Cubs and Yankess. People need to quit gripping about only having 5 to 7 million left in the budget.
February 14th, 2009
8:04 pm
Whoever is posting as Chipper…Revelation 21:8.
February 14th, 2009
8:05 pm
Also, in signing Glavine they are putting one hell of a team in Gwinnett for their first season. I have a feeling the Braves want to have a stacked lineup in AAA this year. The pitching staff in AAA will be stacked.
February 14th, 2009

Hey Dogs Brekky no problem.
I look forward to introducing much chat about the Ashes in the summer – hopefully the English will know how to prepare a pitch, unlike the Antiguans.

Little Mac (Brian McCann when he was in middle school):
A teacher at my school taught McCann in 8th grade and has his old basketball picture on her wall (they won the Gwinnett Championships that year, btw….no doubt because Mac was on the team). I was expecting him to be a little pudgey, but he's actually pretty skinny.

High to all, New format should be cool!!! Sooooo much can be done! With Technology~different formats etc… Baseball: I have AlWaYs "argued" on the side of Pro atheletes salaries! As DOB pointed out, its what the market will bare, Michael Jackson for example? (Did I hear a Loud CrInGe???) lol or Jerry Springer perhaps?~ They make the money cuz its there to be made! Personally, I think neither of those "*People?*" shud be making more money than I! However a 42 year old pitcher, coming off TJ surgery, pitching in His hometown, whom has "Went to the Dark side for 5 yrs" and is without a doubt! A HOF/ Anyone have any numbers on how much money he has made in his career? Including minor league stints?
It was soooooooo nice of Timmy to come back and try and hook back up with Lassie! However, as we know~ that dang Timmy fell in a well:-(
It's only a million dollars give or take 4 mil? Lassie is looking down at Timmy right now~and may be pondering? Hm, If I rescue this boy again! Will he have the ability to feed me? Like he did b4? (200 innings) or is it worth my time and energy, to let timmy have another crack at doing what he loves to do? Playing with a class organization, with a HOF manager and a future HOF at 3rd base? Maybe Timmy ~well if he needs more money, to keep a roof over his head, maybe Timmy should consider pitching for a team like Milwaukee? That way he cud get a few more bucks, maybe! And convince himself he ended his career as a brave?
Glavine "was" maybe is a very gifted athlete, Last time I played baseball was many Manny's ago! If my memory serves me~ I actually enjoyed playing the game! I had fun!!! How much has Glavine made in his career?
Get the Jist?

February 14th, 2009
8:30 pm
Hey Chipper thats good to hear! just wanted to say about 11 years ago when i was 9 i never watched baseball before , i was changing channels and i went to TBS and baseball was on and the first thing i seen was you batting and hitting a homerun, and u cant forget a name like Chipper and i started watching more and more became a big Braves Fan because of you so thanks!!

DOB hopefully with all this new technology you will be able to give the players a proper ID so that impersonators don't disrupt the blog.
It would be great if we could get some views straight from the horses mouth during spring training,
February 14th, 2009
8:39 pm
DOB…have to agree. Time for a new blog. Enjoyed going back and reading this one again, and some of the early comments prior to knowing that the Braves were getting close to signing Glavine and maybe JR.
My how folks opinions and comments change as things move forward. Looks like you pretty much had the dollars/incentives deal figured out in what the Braves should be able to do to keep Glavine. It appears you didn't think JR would be a good choice although DAP called that one.
Anyway, if I can't be there (although only an hour or so away), I'm sure glad you are. Keep up the great work.

Steve McP – I play a lot of poker. I noticed the great god from downunder now plays the great game. They featured "WARNEY" at the WSOP Europe..
I think the casino is in Leicester Sq, looks great…
Alas I remember my late dad taking me to Adelaide Oval to see the Poms with the nasty John Snow and uber boring Geoff Boycott (this must have been 1971-72). Anyway, Geoff took 3 sessions to make 100 and the Poms finished like 1-195 in a whole day……….
I immediately took up baseball and never played cricket…….
FWIW Australian cricket is just awesome, they are one mean machine, like the Braves circa 1991-1999
February 14th, 2009

Chipper – what was your initial reaction when we couldnt' close the deal for Peavy and then we lost Smoltz? It seems like the past 3 weeks has been one heck of a nice turn around.
February 14th, 2009
8:43 pm
U Know Who is it really , really you chipper and how come you can say the braves have a deal in place with jr
February 14th, 2009

If Chipper's really on line, tell us what you think the chances are that the Braves will sign Glavine and JR.
February 14th, 2009

Come on guys!!!! It's not Chipper! No way Frank lets him announce JR's signing. Drop it so the impostor will go away.

Spotts,are you calling me an idiot,I bet I can hit more homeruns better than you and can play third base better than you.
February 14th, 2009

I bet I make more money than you do
February 14th, 2009
9:03 pm
Chipper, do you have any indication of what WBC manager Davey Johnson's plans are with both yourself and Wright as the team's third basemen? Who will get the bulk of the playing time, and who will DH more often?
February 14th, 2009

What was the name of your high school?
What brand of glove do you use in the field?

How far is ST from where you grew up in FL?
February 14th, 2009
9:05 pm
Chipper — When you were here last year I asked you how long you wanted to play. You replied "until 40 and after that family, health will determine when i retire." Is that still your plan?
February 14th, 2009
9:06 pm
Hey Chipper, what was your initial reaction to the Lowe signing? I believe you had a convo with him prior to his agreement with the Braves, what were some of the things you sold him on? It sure worked. Happy to have him leading the staff. Thanks man!
February 14th, 2009
9:07 pm
Your welcome Chipper, since your being really open about the Griffey talks, is there a good chance your going to get the contract extension you want, and all of us fan want as well
February 14th, 2009
9:07 pm
That ain't Chipper. Chipper has better grammar and spelling skills. I cried out in joy today upon learning Jr. might be coming to Atlanta. Looking at his and Diaz's numbers, it's like they were made for each other. Can you imagine having Jr. Griffey off the bench when a right handed pitcher comes in late in the game a lefthander started. I am salivating even now. He has presence, and you can't tell me pitchers want to face him. By all accounts his knee is healthy. By the way, he bats cleanup against righties. He will see better pitches in front of Mac. THE BRAVES ARE BACK. Thank you Mr. Wren. You are no bird of prey sir:)
February 14th, 2009
9:07 pm
And I rest my case. Chipper would never talk (type) like the 9:02 post.
Now go away you impostor and take your filth somewhere else. Bowman could use the hits on his blog.

Chipper, did you find/get any good bucks this year while hunting?
February 14th, 2009

The fact that Wren is coming out and stating that the Braves are interested in Griffey seems pretty significant given this offseason's failures with Peavy, Burnett and Furcal. Back in December or January, Wren took to the tactic of making no comments at all about potential free agents; now he's choosing to say that he does have interest in Griffey? Sounds to me like Atlanta may already be either deep into talks with Griffey and his agent or that Wren has reason to be confident that the Braves will be able to sign him.
As exciting as the Griffey possibility is, talk about going into the season with your fingers crossed that the boys stay healthy. Chipper and Griffey in the same lineup? What's the over-under for how many games these two injury-prone players will actually be in the starting lineup together? I'll say 75. If Griffey is gonna be a platoon player, I'll make a gross estimation and say that about 2/3 of opposing starting pitchers will be righties. That would be 108 games, leaving another 33 games in which both players have to be healthy enough to start. Infante can sub for Chipper at 3rd, and Diaz can play in Griffey's stead when he's hurt, but Diaz is coming off knee surgery himself.

but going back to the McCann pic….there's a team pic that I really wish I would've gotten. But it notes that they're the Gwinnett County Champions and they went 11-5.
The teacher said both McCanns were a incredible athletes…even in middle school. She had both of them (Brad….is his brother's name?)

Randy S – everybody knows the answers to those and/or they are easily found out. If you want to give a tester question it's gotta be something like, who were the folks in Macon County you used to deer hunt with back during your rookie year?
Chipper used U Know Who last year but I doubt he's using the same thing this year if he's posting at all. Heck he may have been posting all off season using different names. Let's let DOB try to identify a player's ID.

No prob–I understand how that goes. (And Happy Birthday to ya!) 11-5? Nice. Let's get the Braves a .688 winning percentage!! (Actually, that's impossible–111 wins would give them a .685 WP, and 112 wins would give them a .691 WP, but, you know…)
Yeah, Brian's brother's name is Brad (their 14 months apart, just like me and my my brother, too). Both incredible athletes–that's what I've heard. It's a shame Brad never made it to the Bigs.

Dear Mr. OB.
You are being a little presumptuous and frankly, a bad journalist by publishing bits of text that are merely hearsay from a "friend" of Griffey's…via Terence Moore no less.
Is that relevant? Perhaps wishfully, for those in Atlanta who like Griffey.
Is it poor form? Yes, definitely.
I know it's just a blog…but since you are a "journalist" people seem to take what you say to heart. Regardless of whether it's an article, blog post, comment post or bathroom wall scrawl,
it is preposterous, bad form and simply, well it's just bad.
I know you want to toot your own horn for thinking you have a scoop here, but you don't…and you know it.
Griffey will sign with Seattle and that will be that. Any talk of Atlanta is either crap, or simply a way to create a way to get a couple more $$$ from Seattle.
Regurgitating Terry Moore's bad journalism makes you look even worse.
Please stop it before you get your city all whipped up into a frenzy.

Well….the Braves need a difference maker and Jr. may be the answer.
Here's hoping they land him. If FW can do it, then he's done what he set out to do from the beginning. It may have not worked out the way he or us bloggers would've liked…..but he wanted to redo the rotation and get a run-producing OF….and if he lands Griffey, Jr., he's done just that.

If we could have acquired someone in LF who would generate a 260 – 270 avg. and produce 25 – 30 HRs

We will get that with a Griffey – Diaz platoon!

Why don't you just put a sock in it. What if Jr. signs with the Braves, eh? Your going to look like a complete idiot for that commment.

All calls to any available outfielders: Requirements, must be over the age of 37 and have a history of injuries, part time play in the past season is a must. The Braves would like to pay you very little and platoon you with someone in LF.
Frank Wren please trade for Swisher, Ludwick, or Delmon Young, someone with some potential. You know we have heard the Braves say they are not interested in a outfielder who hits left handed, and can't play defense. To quote "we need a power right hand bat in the middle of our lineup and they must be able to play solid defense, and this is a priority for this off season, "Frank Wren. Oh we're not interest in Dunn, he hits left handed, and can't play good defense, oh yeah and he wants to much money. That's because he hits 40 hrs every year.
Griffey, he hits left handed, had his knee drained 3 times during last season and had surgery on it this off season. How fast can he be at this point in his career. He had one of his worst years last year. Not a good move. Garet Anderson, has bad knees, can't run, and he bats left handed too. These are not the players we need to put in the outfield.
Honestly, I would rather see KJ in left field and Pardo at second base. At least with KJ in LF he has the speed to stop runs from scoring and his HR power isn't that far behind Griffey or Anderson. KJ has hit as many as 16 HRs in one year, last year Griffey hit 18 and he played in two of the best home run parks in all of baseball. Anderson only hit 15 last year. Really, what's the point of signing either?
February 15th, 2009
12:11 am
twinbrave, ahhhh hush! You just had a bad Valentine's Day, you'll be fine. Griffey won't cost much, so Wren is smart if he signs him and able to keep Prado. I know he'll more than likely be a bench guy, but man he can flat out hit. Awesome bench with Prado/Infante/Norton/B.Jones. Back to Griffey, remember, he hit 30 hr's just 2 yrs ago. I think it's pretty obvious his knee gave him fits last year. He's like Chipper in that his instict at the plate won't vanish with age.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors for Coronary Artery Disease
How It Works
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors interfere with the formation of a hormone (angiotensin II) that can narrow (constrict) blood vessels. ACE inhibitors help lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, which lowers the chances of heart attack.
Why It Is Used
ACE inhibitors are recommended for people who have coronary artery disease, particularly those who also have diabetes. They may lower your risk for a future heart attack or heart failure. These drugs frequently are also used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
How Well It Works
ACE inhibitors help lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart, which lowers the chances of a heart attack. They also help people who have heart failure to live longer. And they slow the development of kidney failure in people who have diabetes.
Side Effects
Side effects may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, do not take ACE inhibitors.
Usually ACE inhibitors cause very few side effects. The most common side effect is an irritating dry cough. Most people find the cough to be a minor problem that they can live with in exchange for the benefits of this medicine. If you take an ACE inhibitor and have a problem with coughing, then you might take an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) instead. ARBs are less likely to cause a cough.
ACE inhibitors may interact with other medicines such as pain relievers called NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), antacids, potassium supplements, certain diuretics, and lithium. If you are taking one of these medicines, talk with your doctor before taking an ACE inhibitor.

Easy setup.
So far I am not impressed. The picture quality is poor, especially for Moultrie. The night pictures are overexposed and the trigger is not very fast. Have a lot of deer ¿butt¿ pictures. The last month I have only got about 24 pix. It has been VERY cold and it is post hunting season so I will try it for a bit longer and if nothing changes, I will send it back. I would spend a bit more and get a better one. This is the third Moultrie I have had and the others were great.
Just put the camera out this week so I really can't speak to the quality. It is a Moultrie so I expect it will be fine.
I just got it & it looks like it may have to go back, because i cannot get it to activate any more than 10-15 feet away. I'm awaiting MOULTRIE'S response on an e-mail i sent them... Only time will tell on how well i like this thing or not.

When Danielle King isn't busy with her family she likes to take some time for herself. "This is my time to meditate and think and it's like all time stops when I'm doing this and this is just what I do. I love it," King said.What she loves is making items for her business, Abrau Jewelry. The oldest of her two sons came up with the name, Abrau. It's what he calls his mom. He made it up out of the blue. But it turns out that's also the name of a lake in Russia where King's family is originally from. A weird coincidence and the name stuck. "I was a little bit of a late bloomer. I moved around job to job, a little bit lost in my life and didn't really know what I wanted to do," King said. "Five years ago I was seeking something I could do for myself, something that was mine."King says that's when jewelry making fell into her lap. Once she perfected her craft, she started her business out of her Milton home. That was two years ago.King makes everything from beaded cuff bracelets on a loom to hand wired necklaces. Pieces range from $28 to hundreds. All of her pieces have meaning -- many influenced by Buddhism. From stones with healing properties like energy or freedom, to symbols like infinity and karma. King also has a line of acceptance bracelets. Many have adjustable signature closures to fit any size wrist. "If you look there's a pattern in that represents a path and rising above it and taking the high road," she said. King sells her jewelry to people all over the world -- from China to Australia. And its even gotten the attention of Hollywood. One of King's necklaces will be featured on the show Vampire Diaries. "It's supposed to be worn by Caroline on the Vampire Diaries episode 14," King said.For King it's all lining up. The Buddhist philosophy -- if you do good, good things will come to you -- is ringing true. "It's just kind of karma I guess you could say. It all came full circle and I'm doing something I love," she said.A job that's a perfect fit for King and the people who love her Made in Vermont jewelry.

Search & Selection | Deloitte solution
Your challenge
- Today, more than ever, recruitment requires business vision, expertise and knowledge to align the recruitment processes for the benefit of the organization. Companies need to be active actors in the "War of Talent" if they are to attract, motivate and retain key talents in a very competitive environment.
- Moreover, the financial downturn has put a high pressure on HR professionals to significantly reduce their recruitment costs. Still, organisations need to attract qualified candidates in a difficult market that refrains people from changing jobs.
- Clients have therefore higher expectations than ever, placing a stronger focus on quality, deadlines and ROI.
Our solution
- Search and Selection provides the most appropriate solutions to our clients' recruitment issues.
- We offer a high degree of adaptation to fully complement and team up with your internal services. Like all our services, the Search and Selection offer is based on two key principles: utmost discretion and the highest standards of integrity.
- Our recruitment process follows a rigorous methodology with specific steps leading to completion and success. We also offer our clients a fee structure and a guarantee in line with the chosen recruitment approach and the subsequent investment.

A few days after Holden officially pulled the covers off of the new VF Commodore, the model's race car version, the VF Commodore V8 Supercar was also introduced, providing fans of Australia's V8 Supercar Series a glimpse of what the new model is going to look like before it hits the track this season.
This year, the V8 Supercar Series will race under new "Car of the Future" regulations, which were put into place to make cars more affordable to build and attract more manufacturers to compete in the series.
This particular racecar was built by Holden's in-house racing team, Holden Racing Team, and carries a few styling cues used in the new VF Commodore, including the trapezoidal gaping front grille. More importantly, those bumpers in the racecar appear to be similar in design to what we've seen from the U.S.-bound Chevrolet SS, whose own debut has been scheduled for this coming weekend.
On the flip side, the race version of the VF Commodore will be fitted with a Chevrolet-sourced 5.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 650 horsepower and mates to a sequential gearbox with power sent to the rear wheels. That's a lot more power than the rumored 350-horsepower, V-8 engine the production VF Commodore may feature.
In any case, the debut of the VF Commodore V8 Supercars Race Car does point to the excitement surrounding the opening of the 2013 season of the V8 Supercars Series at the end of the month.

Not only did the students at Desert Vista High School get a thrill in seeing the president, but many of them got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cover the event for their school newspaper.
As most journalists know, large events, like presidential visits, are compromised of an early start, late finish, little to no food and plenty of adrenaline. These students got a taste of that at the age of 17.
Desert Vista senior Jasmine Coro has a portfolio full of pep rallies, football games and now a presidential visit.
"My mom called me and I started crying, I couldn't even contain myself, this is on my bucket list," Coro said.
She and the rest of her media class at Desert Vista High School bid adieu to summer vacation, and hit the ground running.
"I had to get all my equipment ready, had to get people ready in the crowd to take shots," Coro said.
"On top of everything that happens the first week of school, the president's visiting the second day," said ASU sophomore Cory Crowe.
Though he no longer attends Desert Vista, something, or someone, drew him back to help out.
"Still photos, trying to get some video in there, too, of the President coming out, students' reactions," Crowe said.
"I got a cell phone call from the assistant principal who said you need to come to the principal's office right now, and my first thought was, 'Oh my gosh, are we getting complaints already?'"
Media teacher, and Jasmine Coro's mom, Michelle Coro assembled the troops, assigning students to text, tweet and take photos of an event that will stay on their resumes, and their minds, for a while.
"They get to say, 'I was there, I was at Desert Vista,'" Michelle Coro said. "'Not only was I at Desert Vista, but I was assigned to cover stories.'"
Their day didn't end when the President left; as you can imagine, they stayed late filing those stories and publishing those photos, all by deadline. You can see the students' work at: http://dvthundermedia.com/.

One word.... AMAZING!!!!!!!
My niece had a dream…. Experience a destination wedding in an sunny, warn, exotic location…. In July 2014, that dream came true thanks to the help of a lot of people on the island of Sint Maarten but especially the owners and their staff. My family along with several friends stayed at the Villa Vista for the entire week and hosted a wedding on our last full day on the island. The wedding could not have been more perfect. The villa was simply amazing. The villa was surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. An unspoiled, quiet shore was close by as was fine restaurants and exciting water activities. Basically, the location of the villa was centrally located for everything we needed from beaches, to grocery stores, to Casinos, to restaurants, to sailing and to many tour companies. I cannot say enough about how the accommodations made us feel like we were on a magical island. From the well equipped kitchen, to the pool, to the furnishings, to the sound system, to the tiki hut on the veranda, to every detail that the owners provided to make sure our vacation would be perfect and that we would remember this family event forever. At the end of our family vacation, my niece and more family and friends arrived by cruise ship to have her destination dream wedding. Starting several months prior to the event, The owners worked with us to make this a fantastically unique experience at the Villa Vista. The wedding was held on the pool deck overlooking the coastline which provided the perfect turquoise backdrop. The support staff that work with the owners on a regular basis were essential to the success of this event. The villa was fantastic as a place to stay for a vacation and it was even more fantastic as a wedding venue. Thank you for sharing your tropical paradise.
Wonderful Condo!
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice to have North American luxury in a carribean location! Beautifully decorated, with great features (wonderful bedding, modern appliances, air conditioning, wifi, gated parking, daily maid service if needed, etc). The view from the rooms and outdoor decks are great. Pool and fitness room at the top of the building are convenient/quite private also. Not to mention the great view. Access to the Oyster bay facilities is nice to have. Short walk to the beach. Great restaurants in the area. You can pretty much just stay in the area and have everything you need. (A small, but decent little grocery store is a 5 minute walk). It also wasn't very far to Philipsburg and Orient Beach. We would definitely stay there again!
Hpl, Lighthouse 2B 2014 review.
Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very good overall experience. The 24/7 gym facilities was excellent.View from the 3 porches was mesmerizing. Pity that the TV setup in one of the master bedrooms was not such that you could lie down on the bed and watch TV at the same time. The privacy of the bathroom of the same master bedroom was compromised by missing blinds or curtains for the big window.Besides these points the condo is a triple A location to spend ones vacation.

My heart pounded as I walked into the dark cold room. I held my head down and whimpered. "Please stop!" I begged every time a sharp pain would hit my face. My tears stained my face and I eventually went unconscious. I woke up to absolutely no light and a burning smell. I ran up the stairs that led back up to the house and I gasped as fire fighters were scoping out the house. "What happened?!" I yelled. They all jumped and looked at my bloody and bruised body. "Mrs. are you okay?" one of them asked taking a stepped towards me. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" I yelled even louder. The man took my hand and frowned. "Someone left a cigarette next to the gas stove which was still on and it caught ever thing on fire." I he patted my hand and escorted me out the door. "Where will I go? I have no home." I whimpered and sat on the hot cement. "Do you have any friends you can stay with?" I am home schooled and I don't have a job. So naturally I wasn't one to socialize. "No." I dug my face in my arms and clenched the locket my mother gave to me. My mother was also abused by my father. We never called authorities because he was already getting therapy. Evidently, that didn't help. So, we just tried to hide from him when he was drunk. "Any family members?" I shook my head and cried even harder. "Just leave me alone!" I ran fast and hard into the woods and didn't look back.

Lemon Meringue Pie
This famous English classic needs a revival. It is supremely light, squashy and fragrant with lemons. Why did we ever forget about it?
Serves 6
|For the pastry:
|4 oz (110 g) plain flour
|pinch salt
|1 oz (25 g) butter, at room temperature
|1 oz (25 g) lard, at room temperature
|For the filling:
|grated zest and juice 2 large lemons
|3 level tablespoons cornflour
|2 oz (50 g) golden caster sugar
|3 large egg yolks
|1½ oz (40 g) butter
|For the meringue:
|3 large egg whites
|6 oz (175 g) golden caster sugar
|Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C).
|Need help with conversions?
|You will also need a 1 in (2.5 cm) deep pie tin with a ½ in (1 cm) rim and sloping sides, measuring 7½ in (19 cm) at the base and 9½ in (24 cm) at the top.
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course and Delia Smith's Complete Illustrated Cookery Course. It has also appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine
Start by making the pastry: first sieve the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl, holding the sieve up high to give the flour a good airing. Then add the butter and lard, cut into smallish lumps, and, using only your fingertips, lightly rub the fat into the flour, again lifting the mixture up high all the time. When everything is crumbly, sprinkle in some cold water – about 1 tablespoon. Start to mix the pastry with a flat-bladed knife and then finish off with your hands, adding a few more drops of water until you have a smooth dough that will leave the bowl clean. Then pop the pastry into a plastic bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Lemon Meringue Ice Cream
This is sharp, very lemony and most refreshing, truly an ice cream for summer. We have found that the shop-bought meringues actually work better than home-made ones for this as they retain their crunchiness.
Meringues with Summer Fruit
Once you know how, meringues are the easiest thing to make and can be used in recipes from Eton mess to petits monts blancs and pavlova. They're also a great way to use up leftover egg whites from other recipes...

Officials of Westfield Franklin Park issued a reminder to students and their parents that the mall continues to adhere to the citywide curfew ordinance and enforce its own code of conduct.
With spring break quickly approaching, Westfield officials reminded youth via letters to schools, that the mall has a code of conduct, which lists the guidelines and expectations for proper behavior in the shopping center.
"We work very hard to provide a comfortable, safe and pleasant environment for all our customers and therefore expect all who visit our center to respect others and behave appropriately," said Julie Heigel, marketing director. "Regardless of age, disruptive behavior is not acceptable in our shopping center. We work closely with the Toledo Police Department and offenders will be subject to consequences including ban or arrest."
In partnership with the city of Toledo, TPD, and Toledo Youth Commission, Westfield officials also reminded students of the City of Toledo Curfew Ordinance.
The ordinance has the following curfew regulations:
-For those ages 16 and 17, the curfew is midnight. If in public places, places open to the public, or in the street from midnight to 5 a.m., they must be with a parent or guardian, on the way home from work or a supervised activity, or responding to a life-threatening emergency at the direction of an adult or guardian.
-For those ages 11 to 15, the curfew is 11 p.m.
-For those under age 11, it is 10 p.m.
Youth should plan accordingly when selecting movie times, as the final movie on average at Rave Motion Pictures is 11:30 p.m., which may put them in violation of the city curfew.

Brainerd, MN (KDAL) -- The Wausau Paper Corporation in Brainerd is expected to cut up to one-third of its hourly employees by the end of the year.
The move comes a few months after the closing of the Verso Paper Mill in Sartell, and reflects the growing trend of Americans moving toward E-readers such as the iPad and other tablets. Despite the job cuts, Wausau plans to spend $35 million to convert its operations from printing and writing paper to make more tape and food-grade paper.

YE sons of old Killie, assembled by Willie,
To follow the noble vocation;
Your thrifty old mother has scarce such another
To sit in that honoured station.
I've little to say, but only to pray,
As praying's the ton of your fashion;
A prayer from thee Muse you well may excuse
'Tis seldom her favourite passion.
Ye powers who preside o'er the wind, and the tide,
Who markèd each element's border;
Who formed this frame with beneficent aim,
Whose sovereign statute is order:—
Within this dear mansion, may wayward Contention
Or witherèd Envy ne'er enter;
May secrecy round be the mystical bound,
And brotherly Love be the centre!

The Annotated Ramsar List: Cyprus
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Cyprus on 11 November 2001. Cyprus presently has 1 site designated as a Wetland of International Importance, with a surface area of 1,107 hectares.

Larnaca Salt Lake. 11/07/01; 1,107 hectares; 34°53'N 033°36'E. Protected area. A highly saline seasonal lake which supports significant numbers of overwintering and stopover waterbirds. The basis of its productivity is the unicellular alga Dunaniella salina, which supports "fairy shrimps" Artemia salina and Branchianella spinosa (especially in the "airport lake" southern arm of the main lake, adjacent to Lakarna International Airport), which forms the main food for flamingos, chiefly Phoenicopterus ruber. Water levels do not exceed one meter, and salt flat halophytic communities fringe much of the lakeside. An important Muslim shrine, Hala Sultan Tekke, as well as a late Bronze Age archaeological site and an impressive 18th century aqueduct, add interest to the site. Private land, both Greek and Turkish Cypriot, fringe part of the lake, but the lagoons are state-owned and further acquisitions are planned, except for areas owned by Moslem and Christian Orthodox religious organizations, which are constitutionally protected from acquisition. The site was made a protected area in 1997 and a management plan is in place; an information centre and hides are planned. Urban development in the north and east of the lake and airport traffic in the south are seen as potential problems, but a shooting club facility is being relocated outside the reserve in order to reduce the threat from lead shot. Ramsar site no. 1081. Most recent RIS information: 2008.

GSBS faculty members lead UT-MD Anderson Moon Shots ProgramSeptember 27, 2012
Tracey Barnett
Eight University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston faculty members and one visiting lecturer all from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have been selected to contribute to groundbreaking research as part of the six teams in MD Anderson's Moon Shots Program.
The Moon Shots Program is an unprecedented effort to dramatically accelerate the pace of converting scientific discoveries into clinical advances that reduce cancer deaths. It is built upon a "disruptive paradigm" that brings together the best attributes of both academia and industry by creating cross-functional professional teams working in a goal-oriented, milestone-driven manner to convert knowledge into tests, devices, drugs and policies that can benefit patients as quickly as possible.
The Program's name is inspired by President John Kennedy's famous 1962 Moon speech, made 50 years ago in September at Rice University, just a mile from the main MD Anderson campus.
The Program will initially target eight cancers: acute myeloid leukemia/ myelodysplastic syndrome; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; melanoma; lung cancer; prostate cancer; triple-negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Listed below are GSBS faculty members participating in the Moon Shot Program:
Mien-Chie Hung, Ph.D.
Chair and Professor, Molecular and Cellular Oncology
Dr. Hung's lab studies the role of oncogenes (cancer-inducing) and antioncogenes (tumor suppressor) in cancer creation from the aspects of molecular and cellular biology.
Gordon Mills, M.D., Ph.D.
Chair and Professor, Systems Biology
Dr. Mills' lab has made significant contributions to the understanding of how ovarian cancer begins, including the identification and development of lysophosphatidic acid (a phospholipid derivative based on a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes that can act as a signaling molecule) as a possible marker for early-stage ovarian cancer and as a potential target for therapy.
Anil Sood, M.D.
Professor, Gynecologic Oncology & Reproductive Medicine
Dr. Sood has worked extensively as a cancer biologist with expertise in both cell biology and molecular biology. His research is focused on identifying key mechanisms involved in ovarian cancer growth and progression including angiogenesis (the physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels) and invasion.
Acute myeloid leukemia/ Myelodysplastic syndromes
Guillermo Garcia-Manero, M.D.
Professor, Leukemia
Dr. Garcia-Manero's research focuses on improving outcomes of patients with leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) by studying the molecular basis of these diseases and developing new therapeutic alternatives.
William Plunkett, Ph.D.
Professor, Experimental Therapeutics
Dr. Plunkett's research interests include cellular and molecular responses to DNA damage by anticancer drugs; development and validation of strategies for dysregulation of cell cycle checkpoint pathways and for inhibition of DNA repair mechanisms; and investigations of the signaling pathways that lead to cell death as a consequence of these events.
John Heymach, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Thoracic/Head & Neck Medical Oncology
Dr. Heymach's research focuses on the development of biomarkers for selecting patients most likely to benefit from targeted agents; investigating mechanisms of therapeutic resistance; and understanding the regulation of angiogenesis in lung cancer. He is also the director of the Thoracic Blood Biomarker Laboratory.
Jeffrey Gershenwald, M.D.
Professor, Surgical Oncology
Dr. Gershenwald's lab focuses on the identification and characterization of molecular events associated with melanoma progression in order to identify new prognostic factors and targets for anti-tumor and anti-metastasis therapy.
Michael Davies, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Melanoma Medical Oncology
Dr. Davies is a graduate of GSBS and has more than 10 years of experience in the analysis of kinase signaling pathways, a cellular process involving an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a proenzyme to an active enzyme, in melanoma.
Christopher Logothetis, M.D.*
Chair and Professor, Genitourinary Medical Oncology
*Dr. Logothetis is a visiting lecturer at the Graduate School. He was awarded the CaP CURE Award (1993-2003) from The Association for the Cure of Cancer of the Prostate which provides funding to scientists searching for cures and controls for advanced prostate cancer.

Angel Governing June 1st to 5th
Angel number 15 - ANGEL HARIEL - PURIFICATION
Qualities: Moral purity, innocence - Spiritual sentiments, purification of ideas - New methods, useful discoveries - Cleans consciousness simultaneously infusing it with faith and understanding - Bestows great lucidity, produces clarity - Reestablishes communication between divine nature and terrestrial nature - Liberates from paralysis of action - Liberates from all forms of addiction.
Distortions: puritanism - creates links with the forces of darkness - ready to die to impose or defend an unnatural truth - sectarian spirit seeking to impose a base idea or ideal - failure, collapse - fights against nature - arid mentality, lack of clarity, overly analytical - schism.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name HARIEL by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke HARIEL keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
HARIEL is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is June 1st to 5th
HARIEL is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is April 4th, June 18th, Sept 1st, Nov 13th, Jan 23rd.
HARIEL is your Angel number 3 (Intellect) if you are born between 4:40 and 4:59 a.m. (time)

From July to August, prices for finished goods increased 1.7 percent (seasonally adjusted). This increase followed advances of 0.3 percent in July and 0.1 percent in June and marks the largest monthly rise since a 1.9-percent increase in June 2009
