Many of you have heard some of us talking about packet radio. For the "OM's" they may think "That's so old, and I tought packet died!" Well, not really. Sure there is other stuff out there that is "better?", but, packet radio is getting a good makeover, and is a great "last mile" messaging system. Interested? read on...this page is going to give you tips, links, setup and the in's and out's of what's new in packet radio!
First, the title says "sound card" packet radio...I thought you had to have a TNC? You do..your computer has a fancy DSP TNC built right in. No, it's not your modem...it's your sound card! With a neat little piece of software called "AGWPE" your sound card can be a TNC for packet (among other things!)
Second...did you know you can send email to an internet address via packet radio? You sure can. There are some "telnet" nodes around that connect to the WinLink system and allow you to send AND recieve email messages! All you do is connect, send or receive a message and..well, that's it.
Third...did you know you can send small files via packet radio? There are some really neat add ons to a program called WinPack that allow you to receive htlm web pages, jpg pictures, and text files with no problem.
Fourth...and of course there is the BBS system...for the "newcomer" BBS means Bulletin Board System. But with a new twist. You own station can have a PMS! (nope, not the stuff your wife or girlfriend has, a Personal Message System!) Works just like the old BBSs.
Now...still interested? Well, let's dive into the "what does it take"...
You will need the following:
A good 2M mobile radio capable of 25W or more output that is stable on frequency. You will not need CTCSS tones.
A reasonably fast computer (I am running a 1.8GHz processor with 756MB memory and Windoze 98SE.)
A sound card interface (don't worry, you can build one cheap, diagram to follow...)
OK the radio and computer are self explanitory. So let's look at the interface needed.
The interface has to do the following...connect the autio output of the rig to the LineIn of the computer and the Line Out or Speaker Out of the computer to the audio in or mic jack of the radio. It also needs to provide a circuit to key radio using the serial port of the computer. So here you go...
For the audio lines, just build a set of cables to go from the rig to the computer as described above. For VHF and UHF isolation transformers are not needed. Build the cable so they use the "left" side of the sound card, in other words, wire only the "tip" and "sleeve" of the plugs going to the computer. If you need ideas, see
Now for the software. Download all the following files:
(register and download, both free for a promise to donate to Cancer Research)
Once you have done that, unzip (install) AGWPE. Crank it up. Click the little twin tower Icon at the bottom right of your screen and select "Properties" and "New Port". A message window will appear: "A New TncPort File Has Been Created". Click OK to go to this setu screen:
Setup your comport, and choose "SoundCard" for TNC Type. Select Single Port and put a description in the Port Description box. When you select SoundCard, you will probably get this screen:
Self explanitory as to how to set up this one...all you really need to do if you only have one sound card is hit OK...
Hit OK until it asks you to Restart AGWPE and then click the twin tower icon and select exit. We'll restart it in a minute.
OK now install Winpack, and do it to it's "default" directory. This will save you tons of grief if you do. No need to "reinvent" the wheel here!
Next, unzip the PMS into the /WINPACK/EXTERN directory.
Start Winpack. We will do a little configuring and then restart the softwares so your packet will work.
Go to "Options" and "Personal/BBS Info". You will get this screen. Do everything you see in
And go to "Options" and "Comms Setup"...the only thing needed here is to select "AGW" in the "Host Mode".
Click OK and when you get the error box, just get out of it and then set your radio frequency and hook up your cables. Preset your volume controls for WAV out and MASTER out to mid way and make sure they are not muted, and the Record LINE IN to mid way, also make sure it is selected.
Start AGWPE, wait until the slash screen goes away, then start WinPack. You are now ready to play on packet. But I guess you need to know how...
to connect to a station, in the bottom box, type C CALLSIGN where CALLSIGN is the actual call of the station you want to connect to. To disconnect, do one of the following:
Type B or type /B or click the
Once you have connected to a station, just type what you want to say!
There is an excellect help file for WinPack in PDF format that details exactly what all it will do (with a bunch of stuff you probably could care less about) that is handy to have around.You can download it at
Also, there are two small pdf files you will want that detail packet commands, see
NEWS FLASH!!! We have discovered there are two softwares that will do packet WITHOUT a TNC or AGWPE. They are MultiPSK and MixW. MultiPSK is freeware, MixW is not. Do a "Google" to find them.
Our "local" packet frequency is 145.550.
Local stations on are:
KF4YMC-1 Mailbox
NA4IT-1 Mailbox
KG4FZR-1 Mailbox (The MCARC Club Shack)
KG4FZR-10 WL2K RMS Packet Server

If you wanted to open your own bar/restaurant in the city of Brandon, there's a new fee.
And there are some that aren't happy about it.
Last month, council members voted 4-2 in favor of a liquor license fee increase from $8785 to $125,000. That new fee is a lot higher than that of similar-sized surrounding cities.
As of now, councilors say there's only one license available.
There are several factors that go into this particular increase. One of the biggest factors includes how close Brandon is to Sioux Falls with what councilors call a similar market place and value.
With that, the city wants its market value to reflect how it sells liquor licenses. With the old fee of around $8,785, a much bigger increase was long overdue.
Now that it's approved, councilors want something that's going to bring big economic impact, including jobs, which keep people visiting Brandon.
One woman, Ann Evangelisto, has been waiting over a year to be granted her license and jumped through every hoop to do so, including writing the check for $8785.
Her goal is to open a neighborhood bar and grill and, with experience owning her own business, she knows what it takes to do that.
"I think we need to promote local, small business. That's what Brandon has been thriving for years. I think the tradition should continue and I would like to help do that," Ann Evangelisto said.
Her building and floor plans show the new business doing right behind her current one, Brandon First Stop.
At the Brandon City Council meeting, Monday, all six councilors will vote on whether they'll grant Evangelisto her license at the price they quoted her back in 2010, around $8,785.
She's remaining cautiously optimistic while hoping it lands in her favor so she can bring more business to Brandon.

Chandler bursts into Heather's bedroom. Everybody bursts on this show. Why can't somebody knock for once? Just once! It's taken him all day but he double-checked the accusations, and now he knows that she stole the money. All day? All right, he locked himself in the closet for four hours. She admits to taking the money, but insists that she did it for Chandler, and for his father's legacy. He vows to do whatever he can to repay the money, even if it means selling the designs to one of their competitors. He'll do no such thing, she replies. Heather believes that this project is their baby and she will not allow him to miscarry it like their real baby or allow it to get hit by a car like their symbolic canine baby. Chandler wants to know why she's so determined. Because it's his destiny to run Williams Global and it's her destiny to stand beside him looking like a cheap tramp with an even cheaper plastic surgeon. Oh. Well, then, even he can forgive a little thing like embezzling over $5 million. With that he jumps on Heather and puts her up against the wall. She accidentally knocks the intercom switch on and their foreplay continues.
Downstairs, Peter returns home and ask Edward where Heather is. The whole house is ringing with Chandler and Heather's oohs, ahhs and grunts. With a wink, Edward remarks that it appears that Heather is indisposed.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals DC Horton knows Falcons QB presents great challenge
The Arizona Cardinals are back to work this weekend as they hit the road to try and stop a five-game losing streak on Sunday in Atlanta. Unfortunately for them, they're facing a one-loss team in the Falcons.
A huge reason for the Falcons' success and 8-1 start is quarterback Matt Ryan. Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton knows it will be a challenge for his players, and he talked about what makes Ryan so good.
"Accuracy and probably the word I use most after watching him, which I've never played him, is trust," Horton said Friday. "He trusts that whoever is going to be there is there. He throws guys open where when he throws the ball you're like �oh boy', and then all of a sudden wherever they say to be, they do so."
Ryan is fourth in the league in passer rating with a mark of 102.6, and owns a completion percentage of 68.4 this season.
According to Horton, Ryan's got all the skills a top-flight passer needs.
"Trust, his accuracy, arm strength, he can make all the throws, he can run, he gets them in the right (spot)," he said.
The Falcons' quarterback has never been successful in the postseason, but Horton doesn't think that means much.
"Probably the biggest knock on him, from what I hear, is he hasn't won a playoff game so that's why you don't talk about him like Aaron Rodgers or some other guys that have won deep into the playoffs," he said.
Ryan is also fortunate to have two of the best receivers in the game right now with Roddy White and Julio Jones. Jones did not practice this week with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Recent Rutgers Grad Releases Song in Support of The Tyler Clementi Foundation "Perfectly Imperfect" by Alexandra Kelly is Making Kindness Cool
MARTINSVILLE, N.J., Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Acclaimed singer-song writer Alexandra Kelly, debuts "Perfectly Imperfect" to raise awareness and funds for The Tyler Clementi Foundation. Started this year, the foundation is guided by the life and story of Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121207/CG26251)
The song tells the story of one person's journey to overcome insecurity, and "set herself free" from destructive thinking by finding her own uniqueness. Celebrating that she is "perfectly imperfect" frees her from peer pressure and clears a path to a more complete life.
Alexandra Kelly says, "To pair a song that means so much to me with a foundation that means so much to me is an incredible opportunity. I hope that through this campaign, people make the pledge to become "an upstander, not a bystander. We are "all perfectly imperfect" just the way we are."
"As music was a passion in Tyler's life, we are thrilled to support the talented Alexandra Kelly with her promising career. The song "Perfectly Imperfect" is a beautiful testament to all those who have felt different or struggled to find acceptance. This opportunity to share a song with a meaningful message is one The Tyler Clementi Foundation embraces. Alexandra's music allows all of us to spread the word and make a positive change in the world around us." James Clementi, brother of Tyler, stated.
Supporting the TTCF's mission, this campaign gives "fanthropists" an opportunity to help them achieve their vision of a world where human dignity will be exhibited by unconditional love and embraced inclusive of society and regardless of sexual orientation. The song is available exclusively through Hotathon.com.

10 Things Happy Couples Doby Teresa, The CuteKid™ Staff
Some couples just have to seem to have that extra something that makes their marriage great. But exactly what are those secrets of happily married couples; what they do that others don't? Read on for 10 activities that happy couples do.
1. Go to bed together. Going to bed at the same time shows that
you want to experience the closeness that can only be found in bed. I have found that some of our best conversations occur with my head on my husband's shoulder lying in bed. My husband likes to stay up later than I do. But he also likes to cuddle with me in bed. So sometimes
he will
2. Have shared interests.
Sharing your interests & ideas with life partner is
3. Hold hands. Holding hands shows that you are still in love. That you cherish just touching your partner and need that connection whether you are walking through a store or just sitting on the couch. Holding hands and walking side by side shows that you feel it is important that you are together in the things that you do
4. Focus on the positive. Remaining positive is one of the important secrets of happy married couples.. Everyone has something that they dislike about their spouse whether it is that he bites his fingernails or she spends too much money on clothes. But couples that are happy focus more on the positive things about their spouse than the negative. They look not at the few things their spouse does wrong - but all of the things that they do right.
5. Forgive. One of the hardest things to do is to forgive. But couples that are happily married forgive freely forgive each other. Not only do they forgive each other, but they also do not bring up past mistakes. Once the misdeed is forgiven it is also forgotten.
6. Say I love you. "I love you," is a very important sentence for happy married couples they like to tell each other. When you say the words you are reminding your spouse and reaffirming for yourself of the love that you feel.
7. Communicate. Commmunicate to stay connected with spouse. Communication is a secret to remain a happily married couple for years. Couples who can talk to each other stay together. Being able to communicate means that you can share the good things and discuss problems without getting angry. It also means that you probably talk to each other throughout the day. My husband and I communicate through email and phone calls during the day then always take time to talk to each other every evening.
8. Compromise. Sometimes you will disagree and that's when compromising comes into play. If both spouses learn to give then both will be happy.
9. Share affection. Giving affection through hugs, kisses, and touching, is important. It creates a bond and keeps the romantic feelings alive.
10. Show respect. Each spouse needs to respect the other and their desires. Mutual respect means that consideration is taken for the others feelings.
If you don't already do all ten things try incorporating some of these ideas into your own marriage.Read Other Related Article:

Jane Dywan
Dr. Dywan is a clinical neuropsychologist who studies age-related changes in cognitive function as they occur in healthy older adults. She focuses particularly on the relationship between a decline in attentional control and the ability to monitor the source of remembered events. By examining electrical event-related brain activation while participants engage in various cognitive tasks, she monitors neural activity occurring prior to a behavioural response. In this context, Dr. Dywan has also been examining the relation between heart-rate variability (vagal tone), an index of general physiological response, and control attention and response tendencies. She is also investigating how the general physiological reactivity associated with the perception of emotional information interacts with other cognitive functions. The inability to accurately perceive and physiologically respond to emotional expression may lead to an inappropriate response. In this regard, she has studied individuals with traumatic brain injury and violent offenders who vary in their degree of psychopathy.

Sleep, Sleepiness, Sleep Deprivation, Performance while Sleepy, Event Related Potentials (ERPs), Risk Assessment during Sleepiness
I am interested in how the brain functions and how well people perform while sleepy. My recent research has looked at :
- 1) the effect of 20 hours of sleep deprivation on several EEG and ERP (P300, CNV, ERN, Pe) indices of brain functioning, attention and performance monitoring and how they relate to behavioural performance
- 2) the effect of habituation on an event-related potential component (P300) thought to be reflective of attention
- 3) unintentional sleep onset (falling asleep while intending to remain awake).
Future research may involve combining sleep deprivation and mild intoxication as
Sid Segalowitz
Our Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory includes several high-density EEG recording systems, including ones that are portable for data acquisition with special populations, and the latest software in modeling source generators. We also examine other psychophysiological responses, especially heart rate variability, as a reflection of parasympathetic control. My current research projects, for which I am seeking interested graduate students, include the following:
(a) Personality individual differences: A person's personality relates to his or her ERP responses to incorrect or correct performance or to receiving feedback of a failed versus successful response. Of particular interest to me are personality characteristics of risk-taking and sensation-seeking personality styles, responses to rewards and punishments (including harm-avoidance), and the degree of empathy and obsessive-compulsiveness or perfectionism.(b) Developmental differences: The prefrontal cortex of the adolescent brain is still rapidly maturing, and so does its production of the ERN. I am examining the relation between brain maturation and the production of various ERPs, especially the ERN, and what cognitive or personality characteristics account for the individual differences in this growth. Of special interest is the relation between these brain responses and the adolescent's propensity to engage in gamblling and other high-risk behaviours.(c) Child and adolescent mental health: The growth and function of the medial prefrontal cortex and its relation to subjective well-being and mental health is central to another study, focusing on adolescents. In this study, we will be examining internalizing the externalizing personallity characteristics as they relate to life history, physical health, functions of the medial prefrontal cortex, and the role of variation in catecholamine and HPA axis related genes, as they interact with life experiences in the growth of ERP responses from the prefrontal cortex.
Michelle Jetha
Research Associate
My research program is directed toward understanding basic neural mechanisms underlying emotional processes in normal and atypical development. I use measures of regional brain electrical activity (EEG), event-related potentials (ERPs) and autonomic activity (heart rate and cardiac vagal tone) to understand emotion regulatory processes in human development. Certain temperament profiles (e.g., shyness) and the pattern of resting frontal brain asymmetry have been also associated with increased stress reactivity, particularly in response to social and emotional stimuli in healthy adults and children. My Ph.D. work was focused on the consideration that temperament profiles may be identifiable, stable and influence social functioning and affective processing in individuals with schizophrenia. The results of my dissertation suggested that in patients with schizophrenia, shyness remains stable and is related to resting frontal EEG activity. I also found that in patients with schizophrenia, shyness was related to attention allocation, to emotional faces and to aspects of emotion face processing.
Currently, I am working in our collaboration with Penn State University on the "Neuroscience of Prevention of Violence" project, which has been designed to assess the effectiveness of an early intervention program aimed at reducing aggression in high-risk children
James Desjardins
Lab Technician, BA Visual Arts, BA Psychology, MA Psychology (Behavioural Neuroscience)
My research interests center on the relative contribution of top-down and bottom-up processes in perception. More specifically, what is the earliest junction of a perceptual path that can be altered by mental context manipulations? For example, when presented with multiple instances of an identical stimulus, how do brain responses vary from presentation to presentation, and how far down the sensation-to-perception-to-representation continuum can these variations take place? Further, what factors (such as arousal, attention, task demands, expertise, etc.) contribute to changes in the relative influence of top-down and bottom-up processes in perception?
In addition, as a technician I am developing analysis tools for exploring and testing complex patterns in EEG signals, including Matlab tools compatible with EEGLab and High Power Computing facilities (e.g SHARCNet) for automated artifact detection, pattern detection in continuous or segmented data, batch processing and robust bootstrap testing.
Allison Flynn
Research Coordinator
As the lab coordinator, I train and assist students with their data acquisition and processing, from study design to applications for ethical clearance. We work with both the EGI system and BioSemi. We use a wide array of programs for analyzing data, from Brain Vision Analyzer, BESA, LORETA, GeoSource, and NetStation. I have organized the booking and collected data for studies involving community participants, ranging from teenagers, to senior adults.

Risk-taking behaviour is generally considered maladaptive and can be observed in variety of populations. However, some populations and individuals are thought to be more vulnerable to such behaviours. My MA research focuses on testing a model of reward-related behaviour through the development of two gambling paradigms that will allow us to identify and investigate differences in event-related potentials (ERPs) at various stages of the proposed model. Additionally, I will be looking at variability of these ERPs as a function of individual differences in order to examine the role of personality factors in risk-taking behaviour. In the future, we plan to use the developed paradigms to investigate developmental factors that are associated with vulnerability to risk-taking behaviour.
Lesley Capuana
PhD Candidate
I am interested in issues related to aging and cognition. While the majority of research in this area has focused primarily on the relations between cognitive performance and various brain measures, I am interested in exploring the role that other physiological factors may have in modulating age-related change. My particular focus is on how medial regions of the prefrontal cortex through vagus nerve connections are involved in parasympathetic modulation of the heart, slowing heart rate and increasing the variability between successive heart beats. This increased variability is considered relevant to behavioural flexibility and adaptability. Because heart rate variability declines with age, I am trying to determine whether this, in part, explains the increased attentional control problems that accompany the aging process.
Chrissy Lackner
PhD Candidate
Over the course of my PhD I have been, and continue to, investigate the neurophysiological and genetic correlates of adolescent self-regulation abilities. To achieve these goals I employ EEG/ERP techniques to collect data on the neural markers of attentional control (one aspect of self-regulation). I am interested in early (bottom-up) control of attention (e.g., the P50 ERP component) as well as later (top-down) control of attention. I also collect data on adolescent's self-regulatory skills as they play out in the real world. Lastly, I collect genetic material for investigating allelic variations that might be associated with the above. I have a particular interest in genes that are related to the dopamine and serotonin systems. I am currently supervised by Dr. Sid Segalowitz in the Behavioural Neuroscience stream.
Stefon Van Noordt
PhD Candidate
My research examines the functional role of the ACC (and medial prefrontal cortex in general) in performance monitoring using EEG/ERP technology. Currently, we are focusing on the role of the ACC in task-switching, specifically in terms of whether the ACC is sensitive to stimulus cues that signal changes in response contingencies. The ultimate goal is to better understand the functional significance of ACC responses within a coordinated network of brain regions that support behavioural control. Methodologically, my research incorporates a variety of signal processing tools and analytical approaches including time-frequency decomposition, independent components analysis, as well as bootstrapping and robust estimation techniques for testing effects in single subjects and single trials. In addition, I frequently utilize Shared Hierarchical Academic Research Computing Network (SHARCNet) to implement these tools of signal processing and hypothesis testing.
Other research interests I am pursuing include the neuropsychological and psychophysiological correlates of (i) sociopolitical attitudes, (ii) mild head injury in university students, (iii) reward processing across development, and (iv) affect/arousal in performance monitoring.
Meghan Weissflog
PhD Candidate
For my master's thesis I examined early ERP correlates of emotional face processing (i.e., P1, N170/VPP) as they related to psychopathic personality traits in a subclinical, undergraduate sample. More generally, I am interested in studying the neural mechanisms that underlie the affective abnormalities commonly observed in individuals high in psychopathy. Moreover, the field has increasingly begun to conceptualize psychopathy as a developmental disorder, with evidence of callous-unemotional traits in children as young as five. As such I am also interested in how these abnormalities develop throughout childhood and adolescents. For the purpose of my doctoral dissertation I plan to focus on early ERP components (e.g., P1 to N250) as potential markers of abnormal attention allocation during affective information processing in aggressive adolescents high in callous-unemotional traits. Moreover, I intend to further examine the role that executive functioning ability plays in both neural and behavioural measures of affect processing, as it has been proposed that high executive control may contribute to the legal "success" of psychopathic individuals (e.g., avoiding conviction).
Xin (Reno) Zheng
Ph.D. Candidate
I am currently doing my Ph.D. in psychology at Brock University, with a major concentration on behavioral neuroscience. My research is focused on cortical neural activations during visual recognition of complex stimuli, including words, faces and objects. To address this issue, I am following two approaches. With a "bottom-up" approach, we center on the properties of visual stimuli themselves and study the effects of such factors as word frequency and facial features on visual recognition. In contrast, with a "top-down" approach, we focus on how a person's mental state (e.g., attention or appraisal of social/cognitive context) may affect visual recognition. At any particular moment, since an individual's visual experience of the surrounding environment is constantly influenced by these "bottom-up" and "top-down" factors, it is essential to take both into account in order to have a more comprehensive unde

I am a 3rd year Psychology and Child and Youth Studies major working with Dr Tim Murphy. We are currently working on a project testing the use of the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT), a relatively new method of administering multiple choice tests. We are examining its effect on student's test performance and its relationship to personality (specifically measures of perfectionism and compulsivity) and student acceptance of this method of testing.

First, I am dedicated to learning the current computer software systems (e.g., MATLAB, EEGLAB, DMAT, sLORETA, ERPScore, E-Prime, BESA) with the intention of helping others in the lab explore their data to the fullest. This is done under the supervision of Dr. Sid Segalowitz. Second, I will be spending the upcoming years studying the time-course and constituents of top-down modulation on expert level, bottom-up processing (faces). Specifically, I will be exploring the N170 and D220 (P200) in the context of sleep deprivation (SD) to see how and if they are differentially affected. These components index automatic (N170) and manual (D220) processing in the brain (see Philiastides et al., 2006). Thus, they offer a dichotomous and specific approach to the exploration of SD on cognition. Further, I am interested in the individual differences in noise sensitivity that have been observed in relation to these components (Rousselet, 2011), and how SD alters (perhaps amplifies) these differences. This is done under the supervision of Dr. Tim Murphy.

In graduate research I investigated relations between cardiac autonomic regulation and the performance of executive function tasks in older and younger adults. With age, parasympathetic cardiac control declines, whereas sympathetic control is unchanged or increased. Thus, normal aging results in a form of autonomic dysregulation. However, when parasympathetic control (as measured by heart rate variability) is relatively preserved, executive processing appears to be more efficient. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the mid-brain prefrontal region has been identified as a neural interface linking cognitive and biobehavioural systems, including autonomic functioning. We have shown that older adults with higher heart rate variability or lower sympathetic predominance produce fewer errors in complex source memory and spatial learning tasks, better error signalling in ACC, and reduced reactivity to non-target information. My goal in future research is to learn more about the interplay betwee

I am interested in social political psychology. In general, I study antecedents and consequences of tolerance and intolerance, including socio-political attitudes and beliefs (e.g., prejudicial attitudes, political attitudes and ideologies), and prejudice and discrimination. My link to the lab is through collaborations begun during my undergraduate and graduate work at Brock University (PhD, 2008) and following postdoc at Wilfrid Laurier University. Recent collaborations involve how political orientation relates to medial frontal cortex activity during performance monitoring tasks.
Bill Tays
PhD Candidate
My research questions focus on the natural changes to information-processing systems seen in older adults (60+ years). Specifically, are there unique differences in executive functions and working memory that contribute to changes in behavioural performance of older adults on cognitive tasks? Also, are differential brain responses, seen from brain imaging techniques, associated with these changes in behavioural performance? I use electroencephalography (EEG/ERP) to relate changes in cognitive abilities to specific aspects of brain activity in the hopes of identifying the specific mechanisms of information processing that change with age. The perspective I take in my research stresses the importance of individual difference factors in cognitive ageing

Before joining the lab I completed an honours thesis in Psychology at Brock, and I have decided to continue my studies in Neuroscience. My research interests are generally focused on isolating neural mechanisms of personality traits and mood.
For the 2011 / 2012 year I am working with Dr. Sid Segalowitz on my honours thesis in Neuroscience. For my current project, I will attempt to isolate amygdala activity in response to fearful faces by relating enhanced P1 amplitude to low spatial frequency information. Previous FMRI studies show that the amygdala responds to low spatial frequency information through a rapid processing, sub-cortical pathway. Furthermore, differences in P1 amplitude between shy and social individuals may indicate varying amygdala sensitivities in response to threatening stimuli.

We are currently investigating the electrophysiological effects of sleep deprivation on the expectancy and reaction to wins and losses. Specifically, we are looking at contingent negative variation (CNV) and feedback-related negativity (FRN) collected during a gambling paradigm. This research is important in order to further understand cognitive differences between an alert and a sleep deprived state.

I'm currently completing my fourth year of my honours psychology degree here at Brock. My interests span many fields of psychology as well as many other disciplines of academia; however, I find the junction where psychology and neuroscience meet to be particularly intriguing. For my undergraduate thesis I'm examining differences in the psychology and neuroscience of the politically liberal and conservative with Dr. Segalowitz. Specifically, we're looking at how liberals and conservatives differ in the activation of their rostral and dorsal anterior cingulate cortices when confronted with conflicting information.

I am in my 4th year, majoring in psychology and speech and language sciences. I am working on my ndergraduate thesis with Dr. Segalowitz. The project we are currently working on involves second language fluency and specifically, what it is during brain processing that reflects someone?s fluency level. We are interested in discovering if there are early components in the ERP that are able to predict whether someone is fluent or less fluent.

Thursday night in LA, there were two hockey games on TV. Check that. There were two broadcasts of the same game, the LA Kings playing down the road in Anaheim.
Read this two ways. One: each team's fans like their guys to do the call. They're familiar with the voices of their respective teams. They wouldn't enjoy the game as much with a "foreign" announcing crew.
If you followed the playoffs of 2012, which the Kings took all the way to the Cup, you know that the fact that Bob Miller did not call the later rounds, including the Finals, really ticked off a lot of Kings fans, if that's evidence of anything.
Two: these two teams' fan bases hate each other so much that they couldn't stand to hear their opposite numbers call the game. Heck, they might even refuse to watch.
The marketers would like to think that the latter is the case. It sells tickets to have a good rivalry. They have even named the series the two teams play year by year. It's labeled the "Freeway Faceoff," which indicates both the proximity of the two arenas and the way you get from one to the other. In the parlance of the local idiom, it goes like this: You take the ten to the five to Katella. Or if, like, there's totally traffic, then you, like, can take the 110 to the 91 to the five, or stay on the 91 and then use the 57. You'll be, you know a block from the arena when you get off the freeway.
"The" freeway. Every numbered freeway is proceeded by the word "the" when named. That's how you totally talk out here, dude!
But that doesn't create a reality in terms of these two local hockey teams. The fans may tease each other some. They taunt each other with things like, on the part of Kings fans, little rubber ducks hanging on nooses carried into Honda Center for away contests.
But as has become cliché in the area now, "There won't be a real rivalry until these two teams meet in the playoffs." For now, most of the enmity is marketing talk.
There might not be a real rivalry, because neither team has denied the other anything, neither has yet caused the other the pain of exiting the playoffs. But there is a rivalry in terms of how these teams pit against each other. Nothing about them is alike. Nothing.
Their coaches, for one. Bruce Boudreau is personable, almost jolly most of the time. He tells the truth and doesn't cover up his feelings with clichés. Sutter of the Kings is brilliant, make no mistake. But he's also the textbook definition of "mercurial." In fact, some nights he says things so odd in his press conferences that it's beyond laughable, though he does get laughs. He also won't answer questions he doesn't like, and he puts a stop to them using the contrary strategies of either giving a one-word response or going into some highly irrelevant anecdote that is, it appears, intended as a misdirection.
Their goaltending. Jonathan Quick is not just one of the best goaltenders in the league right now. He's one of the most talented athletes to play the position, ever. In history. He's spectacularly flexible, but that's not his secret. His secret is explosive power in his legs that lets him literally burst across the crease to get to pucks directed at the corners or which come from redirects or wraparounds.
The Ducks' main man in net is Jonas Hiller, who is also talented. But he doesn't have a style so much as he's a living textbook on how to position oneself in the net. Take this guy and put him in 1970s equipment, let alone take off his mask the way a guy like Rogie Vachon played when he began his career in the 1960s, and he would be lost. His whole game is played from his knees. It's almost tempting to say that nearly anyone could stop the puck using Hiller's technique, though if that were true, then there would be an endless supply of netminders out there, and that's obviously not the case.
The two team's styles are altogether different. The Ducks play however they feel like, with long passes and a wide open-game their trademark. They often get sloppy. They don't often worry visibly about their defense (in the sense of two-way game). But they find ways to win.
The Kings win by doing what Sutter tells them to every night, without variation. They aren't offensively adventuresome. They're sometimes so clinical in their approach to the game that they are boring to watch. Sutter's famous pronouncement, "It's a 3-2 league" is not just a description. It's a prescription. He's happy to win that way every night. The team is thus a clinic in precision, if not beautiful play. That is, unless they stop playing, which they tend to do at times. When? Sometimes, midway through the game for no apparent reason. Other times, when they think they're playing a weaker team against which the win should be easy.
Thursday night, they met with different goals in mind. The Ducks were out to regain their winning ways after having seen their long home winning streak snapped by Winnipeg on Tuesday evening. The Kings were trying to bounce back from two losses in a row and retain a mid-pack spot in their conference. They had 64 points at the beginning of the night, which put them a comfortable nine ahead of the team in the ninth spot for the playoffs in the West, but it also put them just ahead of the two last teams in the playoff picture currently, with Vancouver and Minnesota both sitting at 61.
The Ducks did it their own way. They had just eight shots halfway through the second period and were down by a goal. But then they put a shot past Quick on a rebound off his body. They scored again a few minutes later off a point shot that Quick corralled into the corner and then saw Patrick Maroon score on a wraparound that scored from in front ultimately. It wasn't neat, and neither goal was textbook at all, but it put the home team up 2-1 after having been down for a good portion of the game.
The teams came out with more resolve in period three, with the Kings in particular laying the body on a little bit early. They had the play in the Anaheim zone much of the first five minutes, but to no great effect. Goalie on the night Anderson did allow for one dangerous short rebound in the early going, but he also corralled the second shot, getting it to go off a toe.
Tim Jackman of the Ducks rung one straight off the post and out again for the Ducks to narrowly miss putting the game out of the Kings' favor by two goals before the halfway mark was reached in period three. Just after, Cogliano and Koivu went down two-on-one shorthanded and the latter just missed a tip-redirect wide. Still 2-1.
In the late going, Trevor Lewis whacked Bryan Allen with a late hit that knocked his head awkwardly into the boards. This didn't sit well with Mark Fistric, who jumped on Lewis and got a roughing penalty for his trouble. The resulting power play didn't net the Kings anything, but it might have done something to create some nasty that will make this into at least some piece of a rivalry. If so, then their next meeting should be fun, and especially so since it's going to take place in just less than two days.
And that leads to the final reason for the two to be so interested in winning this game: it is the foreshadow to Saturday, which is the Dodger Stadium outdoor game. The ice has been in for a little over a week. It will be tested Friday afternoon-evening when each team practices on it. And then, Saturday night, comes the spectacular cash grab that is this game. One ticketholder told IH today that he's excited to go, but that at $170-something, the seat was a bit over the top. With a shrug, he ended the conversation. "But I just want to be a part of it," he explained.
Lots of others do too. We'll be there so IH readers get a firsthand report. In the meantime, the Kings never did manage that second goal, and the Ducks took the close game and smugly returned to their dressing room to pack for LA Friday night.
"Not a lot of guys here have played an outdoor game. We'll see if they can keep the ice cold," was Anderson's summation of what he expects Saturday. Hint: they can. They NHL probably play this game in Palm Springs if they could draw a crowd by doing so. Since they won't, Chavez Ravine is a good choice. And if you don't know what that means, then, like, you're totally not from here, are you, dude?
Media reports were consulted in compiling this story.
Those who are going to the game on Saturday will note that there are lots of activities planned starting in the mid-afternoon. So no typical LA latecoming for this one, eh?
Bryan Allen left the game after the hit by Lewis and did not return.

FROM DIRT TO DIAMONDS (2) by Julia James: Supermodel Thea has been running from her past for ages — until the reemergence of Angelos in her life threatens to unravel all of her well-concealed secrecy. Five years ago Angelos was willing to hire the little-known model (then known as Kat) for a shoot, until her actions led him to believe she was nothing more than a prostitute and a thief. Still angered by the past, Angelos is determined to make Thea pay. There's nothing heroic about Angelos. He's mean and hurtful and his ends don't justify his means. Thea is put in one horrible situation after another, with nary the means to make her own choices.

If the boss drops four pieces of loot, you have a 16% chance of winning one; if you win you get a piece of loot that suits the spec you came in on. Most of the time it'll take less than five kills to get a piece of loot.
Right now, Madness has a 15% chance to drop a Ti'tahk (on four loot rolls). And then you still have to fight with the rest of the raid's casters to get it. If even two others will roll on it, it's now lower than your chances with the Mists system (where after your 16% chance on winning loot, you've got at best a 50% chance of getting the staff instead of the dagger or mace, depending on whether you heal or DPS)

Perfect amounts of freshness, spice, smoke, and floral - mixed perfectly. People always say "you smell amazing", and I also find that though extremely popular, this scent smells different on everyone.
I keep a bottle of this on hand at all times - this is one of my all-time favorites. The only season I don't wear it is the heat of summer - I think it's great but it can be too much for other people.
Gorgeous bottle and packaging - love this. Highly recommended. Great stuff.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love love love this perfume. My absolute signature scent. So feminine, classy and mysterious. Its different. It last long and very unique. It's a must buy fragrance for every woman out there. Floral, powdery, smoked - caramelly.. its like deep but soft ...yet strong, supple, sweet not overwhelming ..contradictory to itself that's why its so powerful and luring. Don't know what more can be said.
I've long been a fan of Chanel Coco, which is more of an evening type perfume. These two fragrances don't seem related at all, as this one is more of a light, airy daytime fragrance that is delicate enough to wear every day to the office. It's one of the most beautiful perfumes I've ever worn, and my husband loves it on me.
Classy and lasts all day.
This fragrance was released when I was at uni, and 21 myself. I remember something about it being created as an approximation of what Coco herself would have worn at 21, if she were a modern women. She wouldn't have worn this, of course, as it's too tame and generic, but in the case of Coco Mademoiselle, that's not an insult.
I live in London and I smell this in 'the City' (the bankers, lawyers, business part of town) which always surprises me as it's (i) a little young, and (ii) not exactly a power scent. I suppose it's worn by anyone wanting to be a little coy.
And my ex's girlfriend wore it. You need to be aware that most people will have memories of this scent. My housemate wore it. Me, I've had three bottles over the years - one, bought by my parents, so it's special to me. Oh, and another ex boyfriend's sister wore it, though she now wears Infusion d'Iris. So, you need to be able to own this scent or you might bring someone else to mind.
It's very well-blended, and candied above any other note, though I get grapefruit, orange and vetiver almost as much as the sugary patchouli. I've worn it in the edp and edt; the latter is aquatic and a little more bitter.
I wear Chance more often than Mademoiselle, because I enjoy the weird masculinity of the former (and they are quite similar) and it's less worn, at least in London, I think. They're both exemplary offerings of the sweet patchouli genre and effervescent, joyful scents to wear.
4 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is extremely popular and smells exactly the same on everyone. The patchouli is headache inducing. Don't get the love for this one at all.
This is the one I always come back to. It is very sultry, assertive, and intelligent - a power fragrance. High sillage and crazy staying power, so one spritz is plenty. Actually, I don't even fully depress the pump on this one - just half a spritz is good for me.
The citrus components dominate at the outset, but are then mostly lost to the opoponax, vetiver, and tonka bean. Vetiver is the last note to stick around.

A first period penalty mess was nearly cleaned up by the Rockford IceHogs on Friday night as the team earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss at the BMO Harris Bradley Center to the Milwaukee Admirals.
Rockford committed eight penalties for 30 minutes in the opening frame, allowing two power-play goals on five shorthanded situations, but didn't commit another penalty the rest of the game.
Nick Leddy and the IceHogs started the scoring early on Friday. Leddy picked up a Marcus Kruger pass and beat Jeremy Smith under the blocker 40-seconds into the period for his second goal of the season.
Penalty problems plagued Rockford later in the period as Milwaukee would strike for two power-play goals, both from Gabriel Bourque. Bourque's first came at 7:04 when he picked up a pass that deflected off of Taylor Beck's leg and into the open net where he cleaned up his sixth tally on the season.
After a double-minor penalty was called on Rockford's Brandon Saad, Bourque capitalized again. This time, the winger knocked a Ryan Ellis pass out of mid-air in front of Hutton and slipped his second goal of the night past Hutton at 11:34.
In the second period another scrum in front of Hutton resulted in Milwaukee's third goal of the night. Taylor Beck's shot was knocked to Michael Latte in the slot and the winger batted in his fourth goal of the season at 11:02.
Rockford grabbed a late goal in the second period to reduce their deficit to 3-2. Off of a Ben Smith face-off win, Brandon Pirri's redirected shot popped over the head of Jeremy Smith and into the Milwaukee goal at 19:52 of the second frame.
Martin St. Pierre tied the contest in the third period after some hard work from his linemates. Both Brandon Bollig and Kyle Beach helped work the puck away in the Milwaukee corner and Beach set up St. Pierre with a centering feed, where he slapped home his tenth goal of the season at 4:02 of the final frame.
In the overtime, the Hogs got crossed up in their own zone and Kevin Henderson picked up a loose puck a slid his fourth goal of the season under Hutton 1:45 into the extra frame to win it for Milwaukee.

The store at 6503 Baltimore National Pike is part of a rapid expansion by the chain, known for selling exclusive discounted brands and keeping its costs and overhead low. Aldi stores typically have small footprints, open carton displays and a 25 cent cart rental system that refunds shoppers' quarters when the cart is returned.
Jeff Baehr, Aldi's Frederick division vice president, said in Wednesday's announcement that shoppers can expect to save up to 50 percent on groceries by switching from national brands to Aldi brands. Aldi stocks more than 1,400 items under its own brand.
The company plans an opening ceremony and tours and product sampling at the Catonsville store starting at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21. The store officially opens for business at 9 a.m. on Feb. 22. Hours will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Isotope Titanium Lume Ring
The Isotope is all about contrast. The brilliant glow of the lume, and the sharp lines of the titanium create a visual moment that refuses to be ignored.
The special lume material in the Isotope ring soaks up both natural and artificial light and will glow bright green as soon as it is in a low-light environment. Wear it to bed and it will still be glowing when you get up for that 3am visit to the bathroom!
Moonglow Material:
Moonglow is a ultra-high output photoluminesent polycarbonate. It soaks up both natural and artificial light and will glow bright green for hours once it is in a low-light environment. It also a passive-lume material, meaning it absorbs light. It does not generate its own light as radioactive materials such as tritium do.

There can be, I've come to learn, beauty in numbers, and the beauty in advanced baseball numbers is that they can reveal something we saw but didn't quite see. (If that makes any sense.) For instance: If you asked, "Which Brave was more likely to swing at balls out of the strike zone — Martin Prado or Freddie Freeman?", I'd have recalled all the times I saw the latter swing really hard at the first pitch and said, in a heartbeat, "Freeman."
And, at least on this point, I'd have been right. According to Carson Cistulli of the ever-useful FanGraphs, 31.6 percent of Freeman's swings came at pitches off the plate. (In sabermetric argot, those are known as "O-Swings.") Prado swung at 26.8 percent of pitches off the strike zone. But if we ask, "Who was the more selective hitter?" … well, here's where we'd have been fooled.
Cistulli reveals that Freeman swung at 75.4 percent of the strikes he saw,while Prado swung at only 48.4. (A swing at a strike is a "Z-Swing.") Cistulli — who's also a poet, FYI — writes: "It seems fair to suggest that a batter who demonstrates the greatest difference between his O-Swing and Z-Swing tendencies would be the league's Most Selective Hitter." Using that methodology, Freeman ranked No. 4 on the list of baseball's most selective hitters. Prado was No. 1 — No. 1! — on the least selective chart.
Maybe you find this stuff unbelievably boring. There was a time, I must confess, when I'd have Z'd out at the mention of a Z-Swing. But the older I get, the more I realize how much I don't know, and sites like FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus help fill the massive gaps in my knowledge. Which brings me, albeit in a way not unlike the circular routes Ryan Klesko took when chasing fly balls, to the Gold Gloves:
Jason Heyward won one, and he should have. But so should Michael Bourn and the aforementioned Prado. If we consult Baseball-Reference.com, we note that the three Braves' outfielders led the National League at their respective positions — left, center, et cetera — in "Total Fielding Runs Above Average," which is to say in runs saved. What's more, the three Braves' outfielders were, according to B-R, the three best outfielders at saving runs in the entire National League. Bourn saved 38, Heyward 23, Prado 16. (Actually Prado tied for third with the Giants' Angel Pagan, who's a center fielder.)
Back to FanGraphs: All three Braves' outfielders ranked among the National League's top 11 players in WAR (wins above replacement) index, by which sabermetricians swear. And here we see that the three Braves ranked 1-2-3 among all NL'ers at all positions in FanGraphs' overall fielding (FLD) ratings.
The Gold Glove for National League center fielders went to Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen, whose FanGraphs FLD number was minus-6.9. (This isn't golf; miinuses aren't good.) The Gold Glove for left fielders went to Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez, whose FLD number was minus-8.5. Bourn's number: Plus-22.4. Prado's number: Plus-17.8. To borrow from the great Tennessee announcer John Ward: "Not … even … close."
Managers and coaches vote on Gold Gloves, and not many among them are sabermetrically inclined. They use charts and numbers, sure, but they also rely on what their eyeballs tell them. And that's my point: Sometimes in sports and particularly in baseball, our eyeballs deceive. We who watched the 2012 might not have grasped that we were observing one of the greatest defensive outfields ever assembled. But we were, and we did.

I think the problem is (and maybe this is what you were saying) that Bourn made it look TOO easy. Because of his speed, he was able to get to the balls easier and make the plays, and save runs. Because he didn't have to dive and go all out all the time, the people who vote didn't give him a gold glove. Just because he didn't "flash the leather" doesn't mean he isn't worthy!
First again?

I stopped caring about gold gloves after Palmeiro won in 1999 while playing 3/4 of the season as a DH.
Chipper should have won a gold glove in 2007 but the NY bias gave the award to Wright who had the 5th or 6th best fielding percentage and had over double the errors Chipper had.
Gold gloves are a popularity contest.

Mark since Bourn is as good as gone thanks to Liberty Media who do you think the Braves can sign as his replacement. Pagan perhaps?

I had no idea they were that good as a group. Excellent article.
I knew Bourn was about as good as you can find out in CF. I also felt Heyward was becoming an excellent defender. Prado was one I felt was solid but not great.
That said, I'd still love to see Prado in the infield, preferably 2B. That would mean shipping Uggla out but I'd much rather have someone else with less hollow production. We could definitely use a Beane-like player in his place.
November 1st, 2012

Way to go, Mark. You are embracing technology and the new wave of more advanced statistical indicators. You are evolving, and I salute you. I wish some of the people in baseball's cadre of decision makers would do the same.

Arguably, Martin Prado is the most valuable Braves player and he is still a man without a position. The team will see who they can find in left field or 3B and then decide where Martin will play. We'd let him pick his spot – the one where he can flourish – and then we'd find somebody else to play around him. If he wanted 2B, he'd get it. We was thinking he's a pretty good sport to play everywhere like he does and then enter the new season not knowing his position. He was an All-Star at 2B and they took his job away. Of course, Uggla was also an All-Star even though he was hitting about .207 at the time. Change the culture and change the results. It is time.

Yea, while trying to read the article, I got lost somewhere shortly after the Freeman vs. Prado question. Z-Swing, O-Swing, FLD? What has happened to you MB?????

You know what? If we was Fredi Gonzalez we'd have a different spring training. There'd be no golfing or fishing, just baseball. We'd set our sights on winning the World Series and we'd act accordingly. The best players would break camp and the best lineup would play every day. If somebody was better than somebody else, they'd get to play and they'd bat where they would do the most good, not where their ego said they should bat. We'd teach bunting, and base running, and we'd practice throwing to the cutoff man. We'd learn how to move 'em over and get 'em in. Of course, we're not Fredi and we're not going to see that from Fredi and the Braves are probably going to win some pretty games in the regular season and be home for the playoffs again.

Great job Mark. I always like for you to write about Braves.
Braves should try to make a trade with Padres for Chase Headley who is under contract for three more years at 12 milliom total. This would be a BIG DEAL.
If Braves can't resign Bourn I would go after Shane Victorino 1st…..Another that I would try to trade for is kid named Ben Revere who is very young and damn good and Braves would have him for 4 years.I would go after Revere even if he was not to be a starter because he will be soon.
Another free agent I would be interested in would be Jeff Keppinger who can play all infield positions and back up 3b.
Thanks again Mark…and write more on Braves. All of these would fit Wren budget.

They should have an honorary funeral procession for Perez all the way around I-285.

mlbtraderumors.com seems to think the Braves could acquire Shane Victorino if we can't re-sign Bourn. Sadly, I don't think we'll have the funds to re-sign Bourn, but the Flyin' Hawaiian wouldn't be bad to have out there either. And if Prado moves to 3rd, I would like to see Constanza in LF. That would be a FAST outfield!
November 1st, 2012

Mark, Denard Span was another that should have won a Gold Glove but over looked..He had the best over all fielding for AL'ers in cf….maybe Braves should consider him for CF?

JoeBravesFan, Constanza is simply not an everyday ML starter, and one of the bats we add needs to have more pop.
November 1st, 2012
1:47 pm
Move Prado to third, trade for Infante from Tigers, ship Uggla to who ever will take him and then try to find someone for left. Uggla has to go. Right fielder (I think) for Marlins is a good player day in and day out.
November 1st, 2012
1:51 pm
Sonny Clusters is correct. The veterans use spring training as vacation time wiht family. Gold, beach, shopping. It is about base ball. They should be housed at stadium 24/7. They no longer know fundamentals. Veterans aught to really look at what happened to E-Rod during series. At least Giradi had guts to do what was good for the team. Fredi will never do that
November 1st, 2012
1:53 pm
Uggla's not going anywhere Derwood. Teams with payrolls like the Braves' can afford to eat that big of a contract. I also don't why the Tigers would trade Infante when he'll only cost $4mm next year and they just gave up some good players to get him. The Marlins' starting RF is Stanton, and he's obviously not going anywhere.
November 1st, 2012

Derwood, already forgot that McCann was benched for the WC game?

Hey Sonny and you other advice-givers: the Marlins, Rockies, and Blue Jays are still looking for managers. Here's your chance to show us just how good you really are!
November 1st, 2012

Rick, Constanza won the IL Batting Title last year. If we lose Bourn, we need his speed and ability to get on base on a daily basis. He doesn't have the "pop", but he can hit 'em where they ain't, which is the ultimate goal. Imagine Constanza getting on base and Prado batting behind him. Prado hits a double, Constanza scores easily from first. And he would have the speed to chase down balls in the outfield, that might have normally fallen for a hit.
November 1st, 2012
2:14 pm
Nice article but….arguing numbers is part of the fun of BB. If numbers say that Freeman is more selective than Prado then they are being misinterpreted. Not all strikes are equal, some (perhaps many) should not be swung at as they are the pitchers pitch, the disciplined batter should let it go depending on the count. Prado is excellent at working the count, Freeman is not.
November 1st, 2012
2:15 pm
Constanza is fast but he is not an excellent fielder, his routes are often scary.
November 1st, 2012
2:19 pm
Prado is your man at third.Put him there and leave him and you have an instant ALL-STAR, period. You have a good outfielder in Jorge Constanza.Take him and use those fantastic hitting instructors we have to improve his hitting and we have another fast runner on base to SCORE some runs and a decent runner in the outfield. Look at Gregor Blanco with San Fran who play here a few years back. He was the same player in Atlanta but we thought Matt Diaz and Grag Norton were what we needed so we traded him to Kansas City and lost a good ball player.We do have a decent team with what we have in players but when does Fredi and Frank start using them instead of finding HAS-BENS to fill positions. GO BRAVES 2013
November 1st, 2012
2:20 pm
JoeBravesFan, if we lose Bourn, we get a guy like Pagan or Victorino instead. Speed is a great tool, but it doesn't matter if you can't hit consistently, which Constanza can not in the ML. He barely can hit the ball out of the infield. The Braves have the money to get someone of worth. Promoting Constanza to full time starter would only be in the name of saving cash and would be a terrible decision. With Chipper gone, a down power year from Uggla, and uncertainties with McCann, another bat with pop is even more necessary for this lineup.
November 1st, 2012
2:21 pm
This is EXACTLY why I keep saying we need to keep Prado in LF and fixate on a true 3rd baseman. Prado is an elite LF'er. Prado is not quite as good at 3B, though I think he would still be a great starter there.
The OF's available at a decent price for LF either can't field or can't hit, or can't hit for any pop. Prado can do most of all of those, and the pop is not bad. Why overpay for a middling LF when we already have a potential All-Star there.
3rd base has better options and if the worst case scenario comes to pass we can try Francisco or TP there. Heck, we could put TP in at 2B and move Uggla to third, which I think he might actually be a better fit for given his lack of range but fairly quick hands (he can turn a DP very well, which requires footwork and good hands).
Don't overspend on a crappy FA crop. Prado in LF, Uggla at 3B, Pastornicky or Janish at 2nd with the other filling a utility role. Go after Bourn for CF. We should be way under budget and we would have a decent 'contact-hitting' team with some pop. That is the recipe the Giants and Cards used very effectively.
November 1st, 2012
2:22 pm
Blanco hit 244/333/344 this year. Yeah he's a real great player.
November 1st, 2012
2:23 pm
Sounds like our LFielder (Prado) and our CFielder (Bourn) got gipped!!
Sooooo sorry to hear about the death of Pascual Perez today. I hope they catch the morons who killed him!
November 1st, 2012
2:25 pm
Steve, there are far more options in FA this year in LF than there are at 3B. Name some specific 3B free agents we should go after if you disagree. And Uggla at 3B would be terrible. The worst part of his defense is his arm.
November 1st, 2012
2:27 pm
FYI … Prado has played 1359.2 innings at third base and has a .965 fielding percentage. That is nowhere near All-Star or Gold Glove.
People need to stop assuming Prado will be an All-Star or even league average at 3rd. He has had plenty of time to prove it and has NOT.
Give the Prado will be a deity at 3rd base talk a rest folks.
November 1st, 2012

Well, and part of the problem with having managers and coaches vote on these awards is I wonder how much time they really have to watch other teams' games. Sure they do it while scouting before they play them and while they play them, but the only players coaches and managers see much of are those in their own division. The rest it's maybe 10-15 games (including scouting reviews) plus highlights. And we all know highlights, as fun as they are, don't give a true picture of a player's abilities and performance.

Transcript from this week's UGA-Ole Miss Game-Planning meeting with CMR, CMB and CTG:
CMR: Today we have a special guest! I've invited Shawn Williams to join us because, as we saw, Shawn did a better job motivating the defense in 10 minutes than we have all year. Personally, I prefer gimmicks, but whatever, it's our first winning streak vs UF in 25 years!
CTG: Speaking of gimmicks, I'm afraid to ask what are those red bracelets for?
CRM: Don't be afraid Big Boy, these are WWSWD bracelets and we'll be wearing them the rest of the year. Shawn, would you say a few words please?
SW: Thank you coach. It's an honor to be here. I believe strongly in shifting the attitudinal paradigm; not just for the defense, not just for the team, but for the entire program! I believe in personal accountability for players and coaches alike! Many players here harbor dreams of playing in the NFL. Let's embrace, nurture and build on that! Treat us like the men we are becoming. Decide who will play based on merit, not some seniority-based system that may keep our best on the bench.
(CTG and CMB stare unblinking with eyes big as saucers, mouths agape)
CMR: Whoa there Shawn baby. RELAX! Don't go all Tony Robbins on us. We're playing Ole Miss not Bama! I was looking for some positive vibes not a manifesto. What the heck are you majoring in anyway? Pretty words?
SW: I just want to add that the team is looking forward to you taking an active role in coaching the kickers. We've just got to fix the kicking game!
CMR: Thanks SW. As mentioned in last week's presser, I'm going to first learn the ABCs of kicking then I'll coach my tail off. Got a great head-start as Blair Walsh sent me "Ace Ventura-Pet Detective". It's a super-awesome instructional video for kickers and a cautionary tale as well. Seems this poor Dolphins kicker, Ray Finkel, missed a Super-Bowl winning chip-shot when Dan Marino botched the hold and naturally, he wound up turning into a woman. Since Ray, Dan, Blair, Marshall and I are all from South Florida, it really hits close to home. Apparently it's vitally important to have the laces out when holding for a kick. Who knew, right?
CMB: I really don't think MM will become a wom…oh, forget it. Let's focus on the Black Bears.
CMR: Gotta tell ya fellas, just love that Hottie Toddy cheer! Had it stuck in my head all week!
CMB: Thinking we keep the good times rolling this week we are going to cancel practice, talk about how great we are, read our press clippings and watch the WLOCP again! We'll be fine on Saturday-Murray can't play worse, right?
CTG: (Red-faced, voice rising) I suggest you practice harder than that, your O managed a whopping 10 points on our 6 turnovers. We can't gift-wrap games for you every week. On D we are going to keep the intensity up through public insults and
CMR: Don't be such a Gasbag Todd! Let's use our inside voices. No more sideline meltdowns either, try to be more like Shawn. Gotta run and talk to Vern and Gary.

Steve, the league average fielding percentage at 3B is 954 and RF is 2.55. As you pointed out, Prado's fielding percentage is 965, and his RF is 2.7. So can you please explain how he's not above league average now?
November 1st, 2012
2:33 pm
Rick -
It's debatable whether the worst part of Uggla's D is his arm or his lateral movement. Either way, those are the 2 most important parts of playing defense at 3B. While range isn't as important at 3B as say SS, being able to move laterally quickly is, and Uggla doesn't have range or lateral quickness.
November 1st, 2012
2:37 pm
GT Alum, either way, we agree Uggla is not a good fit for 3B. The reason I think his arm is the worst part of his defense is because it seems like the majority of his errors are on poor throws that sail well wide of 1B. And Freeman has saved his butt more times than I can count. His RF is actually not bad at all.
