I like a sweeter (but not excessively so) cornbread and this recipe is just that.
Sweet Corn Bread with Mixed Berries and Berry Coulis
Becky Luigart-Stayner; Melanie J. Clarke
Corn bread lovers will also love this dessert, which stars sweet corn bread in place of the traditional shortcake.You can use frozen berries in the sauce, but fresh are best for the topping. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.

Treatment for testicular cancer can lead to changes in sexual function or in the appearance of the genital area. Whether the changes you experience are short-term or long lasting, you can find ways to feel good about yourself and to be intimate with your partner. Remember to be patient and give yourself time. Be creative. Ideas include:
Focus on your physical recovery including diet, rest, and activities.
Ask your doctor or nurse about maintaining or resuming sexual activity.
If partnered, include your partner in discussions.
Choose a time when you and you partner are rested and free from distractions.
Create a romantic mood.
Try different positions until you find one that is most comfortable for you and your partner.
Use pain medications, if needed.
Remember that cancer is not contagious.
Remember that being intimate will not stimulate the cancer to come back or grow.
Remember that your partner is also affected by your cancer; talk about both of your feelings and fears.
Keep an open mind about learning new ways to achieve sexual pleasure for you and your partner.
Clear communication with your partner and doctor are key to maintaining satisfaction with sexual intimacy despite the changes cancer may cause.
Remember, it can be normal, at least for a time, to experience a lack of desire for sex during cancer treatment.
Explore different ways of expressing love (hugging and holding, stroking and caressing, talking).
Find humor where you can.
When thinking about the effects cancer may have had on your sexuality, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:
How has my illness interfered with my role as partner or father?
How has my illness changed the way I see myself and feel about myself?
How has my illness affected my sexual functioning?

KitchenAid Fridge experiences?
I'm considering a bottom freezer (model KBRS19KTMS) b/c it fits in my tight space (30" width) but cannot find any customer reviews. My other choice in the price range is an LG french door model, but have been told they're not good quality.
Any advice?
For what it's worth, Consumer Reports has KitchenAid bottom frezer models listed as 3% more reliable than LG bottom frezer models. This is based on the product reliability survey. The actual testing CR does doesn't include very many models so it's unlikely you will find the model you're looking at, but in general KA ranks better than LG. They have a $3000 LG listed with only 29 points out of 100, while the $2400 KA has 69 points based on performance. The top was an Electrolux at $2200 with 73 points.
Unfortunately every manufacturer has good stuff and bad stuff, even within the product family, so it's very difficult to know what's good and not so good.
I would suggest checking the drawer/ shelf design on the specific fridge model you are sizing up. I have a KA French door model that is two or three years old. It keeps temperature fine, no mechanical issues yet, HOWEVER, the drawers are flimsy, and can be a pain in the butt sometimes. It's obvious that on the model I bought, that is where KA cut corners. The drawers do not slide in/out with ease. They are flimsy so they can twist / bend when you push them back in, and won't glide smoothly.
I have a different model KA, French doors with bottom freezer. Have had no problems in 3 years. The drawers/shelves are fine. Mine is a cabinet depth, so I gave up some interior space for that size.
When I moved to here there was an LG in place, PIECE OF SHIT in my opinion. The drawers were cheap and diffucult to operate, had a hard time sliding them in and out.
we actually have bought 4 of that exact model (KBRS19KTMS) for rental properties we own .... also requiring something under 30 inches wide .... it's been 3 years and zero problems
very happy with them
if you're okay without the kitchenaid sticker on them .... the exact same model is sold under the Maytag brand for less money
re: ssainani
Did you find the drawers to be flimsy as noted by another commenter?
We bought a different model KA (side-by-side) thinking we'd save some money on that instead of buying a SubZero. We also bought a KA convection oven/microwave stack.
The ovens are great. Because the compartment is smaller than the large Wolf oven, it's located at a more convenient height and it's in my baking area I give the oven a real workout and it does great. The microwave, likewise, never disappoints.
The fridge, OTOH, has been a real disappointment and I regret that we didn't spend the money for the SZ at least once a month. Items on the back of high shelves in the fridge portion freeze and yet the milk stored on the door frequently goes sour before it gets used up. The shelf placement is also poorly planned so that you end up with one shelf always in the way and reducing the storage for medium and tall things and more space for short items than is practical.
These concerns may not be problems in the model you're considering but look to be sure.
re: rainey
I had the same problem with the shelves in the LG model that was here, so frustrating!!!

Don't worry, this one has a happy ending. Last week while doing a story on illegal dumping, a reporter from KRON-TV in San Francisco ran into former Santana Blues Band percussionist Marcus "The Magnificent" Malone. Springing into action, reporter Stanley Roberts then reunited Malone and Santana.
Speaking to Santana, Malone said "You don't know how afraid I am to let you see me." The former percussionist is said to have been an important influence on Santana's Afro-Latin sound, and played congas on the band's first album, before leaving in 1969. "We cherish you." Santana said. "It's an honor to be in your presence." Santana has also promised to bring Malone a new set of congas and help get him on his feet.

The tank deal, its just part of a consiracy between the DPS to pass the job to the tank.
They could mark and decide pulls themselves and just let the tank know, many times I had to help inexperienced tnaks like that.
Its not hard.
But they dont want to do it so they pass the job to the tank.
If I'm in a good experienced group, as a tank I actually prefer someone else who knows the fights well to do it so I can just do my job and have less on my plate. If I take skull everytime or skull and diamond or whatever, just mark em up and let me go get em.
Besides my Intelligence is only 33. *drools*
were you being sarcastic or are you kind of an idiot?
I'll bite just in case it's the later. Unless you're helping an inexperienced tank learn it's much faster and more efficient to have him mark the mobs he wants to tank himself instead of having someone else do it and then explain their thoughts.
It's part of a tanks job. Don't like it, don't be a tank.
And that is why people don't like to be tanks. All the DPS show up, and turn off their brains, while the tank marks, but its insane for a tank to let a DPS mark, and not think for a run? that sounds fair.
Maybe you should expand your horizons a little. Explaining why a tank is going to tank a mob for a certain fight is exactly the same as a tank explaining to the DPS why they are killing the target they are killing. Stop being lazy.

Bath Weather
Some people are lazy(ier) to take a bath in this weather. Me, I enjoy it twice as much during these times. I love quick morning & night showers with the classic Johnson & Johnson Baby Bath in Blue which I use even for my hair & face (I wish they come up with a lotion version of this please) followed by either of these classics as well Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion in Pink (I wish they come up with a Baby Bath version naman of this please - or wait, is the pink one I see in groceries already the Baby Bath version? How come it doesn't come in the big pump SKU?) or Neutrogena Body Oil. Aaaaaaaaah!!! Next time, I'll feature more bath stuff!
How about you, what are your bath essentials?
Oh look! Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, and Johnson & Johnson are all part of the J&J group of companies. Wow, I should link this up to their Marketing people!

The musical ideas from the indie-classical ensemble Build range from Bjork to Beethoven.
Emphasis is on musical cross-pollination and mining the recent classical music past to serve a cutting-edge collaborative spirit.
That spirit will be the operative word Saturday and Sunday when the Brooklyn-based Build appears at the Mondavi Center. The five-member ensemble will appear in a shared program with another artist who prizes such collaborations: pianist Lara Downes.
The concert, titled "Moving in Place," was designed by Downes, the Mondavi's pianist-in-residence, to explore the musical links between new music and the music of composers who toiled in exile. Downes has been making a splash by playing the music of the latter, namely the works of composers Chopin, Bartok, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Mohammed Fairouz.
Build will anchor the first half of the evening with original music written by the ensemble's leader and violinist, Matt McBane. Downes will hold down the second half, which is being presented in the cabaretlike Vanderhoef Studio Theatre.
Build will emphasize music that conveys a sense of place, which forms the central idea running throughout all seven tracks on the ensemble's latest CD, "Place."
Downes will perform works from her latest CD, "Exiles' Cafe," which explores the notion of displacement as a universal part of the human condition. The CD, which has garnered positive reviews, includes seldom-heard works such as Prelude No. 1 by Paul Bowles. Most people will recognize Bowles as the author of "Sheltering Sky" and may be surprised that he was also a composer.
McBane sees Downes' kind of eclecticism as a good fit for exploring linkages between the classical musical present and its storied past.
Build's inclusive nature is parsed out in McBane's unique compositional style, which owes a debt to the recent past.
The three pillars of Build's sound are "minimalist chamber music, modal jazz and instrumental rock," said McBane via phone from his apartment in Brooklyn's Greenpoint section.
"More than one of our pieces has examples of where I've taken an idea from a Radiohead song," he said.
McBane said he likes to mine minimalist classical music and put it in a rock music context. He cites bands like Sonic Youth and the music of Bjork as big influences.
The five Build musicians and Downes will perform together at the beginning of each set
"This collaboration will be like creating a collage of music by using fragments of pieces from each of our sets," McBane said. "In a lot of Lara's music there is also this real sense of location, at least as much as can be created in music that has no text."
For McBane, the sense of place is paramount. To Downes, it's the notion of how the musical past visits the present.
"There are different strands that are developing now, and McBane is very much in the forefront of one of them, which involves classical music merging with pop culture and bringing indie rock and the classical world closer together," Downes said.
"I like what Matt does with Build; he's created an interesting sound profile and position for his band," she said. "Obviously, our musical influences are totally different, but that was the idea here to throw all of our working ideas together and see what comes up."
Downes' set will include Dvorak's "Three Hungarian Folksongs From the Csik District" and a Jed Distler arrangement of Kurt Weill's "Lost in the Stars."
"What started this whole progression in my head was my interest in the Romantic tradition and how that got transplanted to Hollywood and gave birth to film music," she said. "To me that was a tremendous moment and coming together of events."
That transplantation was tied to world developments like the rise of fascism.
"In the last century there was hardly anyone who did not encounter a global event where people moved around when they really did not want to," Downes said.
Many composers fled Europe on the eve of World War II and some, like Bartok and Schoenberg, ended up in the United States.
"Their music is rooted in the past, but I'm not," Downes said. "When I perform this music I feel like I'm bringing it into the present, and this is what this concert's narrative is all about."
Downes believes her part of the concert opens a door where the past can play with the present.
"Everything that you will hear in my set all of it would not have happened except for events that defined a new future," she said.
What: Lara Downes and Build When: 8 p.m. Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: Vanderhoef Studio Theatre, Mondavi Center, UC Davis
Cost: $47
Information: (530) 754-2787; www.MondaviArts.org

Federal Minister for the Environment and Heritage
The Hon Dr David Kemp, MP
Doorstop 12:45pm
Wednesday 13, November 2002
Thank you very much for coming to this doorstop. I just wanted to let you know that the government this morning has been meeting with the National Environment Consultative Forum.
The National Environment Consultative Forum is a group of environment and conservation organisations, local government organisations who are working to improve environmental policy, in some cases on a matter of cooperation with the government in its programs. Most of them are independent completely in their views. And the government wanted to discuss with the Consultative Forum the government's way ahead on greenhouse.
The discussion that we had this morning with the Consultative Forum was a very constructive discussion. A very positive discussion. We are keen to involve the whole Australian community in planning Australia's national way ahead to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change is a very important issue for Australia. It's going to affect every section of the community. And the National Consultative Forum on the Environment, we believe, has got a valuable role to play in helping the government develop the national strategy which we'll be working to next year.
We've also got, I think, some very useful discussion out of this morning on a range of issues. The Consultative Forum made a point to the government about the importance of renewable energy. Renewable energy is a very important element in the government's total policy mix.
We currently have the 2% additional renewable energy target to be reached by 2010 and obviously the members of the Consultative Forum are interested that we should increase the waiting on renewable energy.
This is a matter that the government will be looking at in terms of the review of the mandatory renewable energy target that will be launched at the start of next year. And these groups will have an important input into that.
I want to make it absolutely clear that the government is not prepared to sacrifice economic growth and jobs in Australia in order to artificially expand the renewable energy component of our total energy. But we will be working with the review to ensure that we make the best balanced decisions that we can on Australia's future energy mix.
The group raised with me quite a number of issues, and you might want to ask me some questions about that. I would just like to make the point that of course most of the members of the group do not agree with the government in terms of its policy of not ratifying Kyoto, and I don't want to misrepresent their positions on that. The government has stated its position very clearly on that matter.
We don't believe that the ratification of the Kyoto Treaty is in Australia's interests because it would lead to the shipping of Australian industries and jobs overseas. But we are committed to reach the target that we negotiated at Kyoto and the government is putting in place the basis for a long-term national strategy to reduce out greenhouse gas emissions.
On the renewable energy targets system, did the groups convey to you research that has found that several old hydro users are getting hold of the certificates? The energy certificates which are supposedly therefore renewable, creating new developments in renewable energy. Lots of these old producers are managing to obtain these certificates without actually producing any new renewable energy, you know, performance, I suppose? It's not working, the research is saying.
The groups in the forum didn't raise that matter specifically with me in the course of the discussion on renewable energy. There clearly is a debate amongst those companies that are producing new forms of renewable energy. That they want an adequate place in the sun.
We believe that the system that is in place, under the mandatory renewable energy target, does provide a great incentive for companies to develop new approaches to renewable energy. We've seen a great development in wind farms in recent times. We're seeing a lot of new initiatives coming forward.
All these issues will be canvassed in the course of the review of the mandatory renewable energy target commencing in January next year.
Was there any arguments put to you that a different than you've already heard as to why Australia should ratify Kyoto?
No, I think the arguments have been very well canvassed. There wasn't anything that we heard this morning that really changed anything in our thinking. We've got a very clear view on the basis of the analysis that we've made that it is not in Australia's national interest to ratify the Kyoto Treaty.
We believe that that will damage Australian industry and Australian jobs so long as there is no pathway for the involvement of developing countries.
There was nothing that we heard this morning that really changed the basis of that decision.
How can it damage Australian industry and jobs when under the current target, which you said we'll meet anyway, we're allowed to increase our greenhouse emissions? How can that damage current…
Well, Australia is in a position in the world where we're surrounded by countries who are, in some cases, important competitor countries for us for investment. None of whom will be accepting commitments under Kyoto. So our position is very different to the European countries, all of whom will be accepting commitments.
We run the risk of giving a message to those contemplating long term investment in Australia, whether they're in Australia at the moment or overseas, that we're prepared to impose on them obligations that they will not face if they invest in our major competitor countries.
And it's because we don't want to give that message that we've taken this decision that it is not in our national interest to ratify Kyoto at the present time.
You obviously don't agree with the assessment then that Australia, along with the United States, are just spoilers in this whole Kyoto process and moving forward on greenhouse, considering that Kyoto's likely to come into effect next year anyway?
Well of course Australia is one of the leaders in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The Australian Greenhouse office has been a very important international initiative. The initiatives the Australian government has in place will already be reducing greenhouse gases by some 60 million tonnes by 2010. And there is a lot of international respect, I believe, for what Australia is doing for the actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Australia's interest is in getting in place a global framework that works. Kyoto is not the answer. It's going to make a 1% difference to global greenhouse gas emissions. It doesn't include 75% of global emissions.
What we need is a global framework that includes all major emitters. And until there is a pathway for the involvement of developing countries, we don't see it as being in our interests to ratify that Treaty.
We made the point at COP8, this is the recent conference of the parties in New Delhi, that we believe there should be a process getting underway to involve all countries in a discussion about a global framework that is going to involve all major emitters.
Some progress was made on that in New Delhi, but there's a lot further to go.
But given the rest of the developed world, with the exception of the United States, has taken Kyoto and is moving forward with that, how hopeful are you that they'll be wanting to engage with you in this development of a new global framework when they consider Kyoto the first step towards that anyway?
Oh, very hopeful. I mean I think one of the most hopeful features of New Delhi was the recognition for the first time by the European Union that a discussion about the global framework post-Kyoto should now be getting underway. And they were supported in that by a number of the developing countries in our own region.
The Pacific Island countries are strongly committed to having that new global framework being discussed at the present time because they see what the impact of global warming is going to be on them.
Major emitters in the developing world, like China, I believe are thinking and acting domestically to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What we now need to do is to move towards a proper international process where we can get a good discussion beginning about the nature of the global agenda that will succeed Kyoto. Thank you very much.


text: Spaced. Extras. The Office. The Young Ones. Have you ever wondered why most British TV comedies end after only two seasons, which in brief British season numbers translates to a paltry 12 episodes? Blame Fawlty Towers. The 1975 series, starring John Cleese as an easily outraged hotel manager, is considered one of the funniest shows in British television history, and yet Cleese called it quits after only two series, before he ran out of ideas (which was the reason he gave for leaving Monty Python's Flying Circus). Released in a newly remastered boxed set today -- along with the remastered set of Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder -- it becomes painfully apparent that this is a show we would have gladly watched for another hundred episodes. After all, 12 episodes is only half of a regular American TV season, and we've watched full seasons of some pretty awful shows over the years.

Gastrovascular cavity
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Gastro vascular cavity, as the name suggests, functions in both digestion and the distribution of nutrients and particles to all parts of the body. Organisms belonging to two major phyla, the Cnidaria, and the Platyhelminthes, possess gastrovascular cavities. The radially symmetrical cnidarians have a sac-like body in two distinct layers, the epidermis and gastrodermis, with a jellylike layer called the mesoglea between. Extracellular digestion takes place within the central cavity of the sac-like body. This cavity has only one opening to the outside and, in most cnidarians, that is surrounded by tentacles which serve to capture prey. Example: Digestion in hydra occurs in gastrovascular cavity.
Organisms with a gastrovascular cavity:
In popular culture[edit]
The gastrovascular cavity is mentioned during a human dissection or autopsy in the 1962 B movie "Ring of Terror". As humans do not possess gastrovascular cavities, this is a mistake.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Kevin Ranker of Friday Harbor told his colleagues he was leaving to witness an important wedding over the weekend.
During a break in floor action in the Senate Friday, Ranker said he'd be going to New York be in the wedding party as his father, Gary, marries his partner of 16 years, Shan Gilani, on Sunday in Manhattan. New York is one of nine states, plus Washington, D.C., that have legalized gay marriage. Ranker specifically noted the passage of same-sex marriage in Washington state last year, thanking his colleagues for the "incredibly respectful dialogue" during that debate. That law was ultimately upheld by voters in November.
Ranker said his father splits his time between Manhattan and Orcas Island. He later said by email that while "growing up, I never imagined this day would come for my family. "

Being Proactive continued...
Noting that psychiatrists and obesity specialists are more aware of the problem, Aronne suggests asking for a referral if needed.
"But I am not talking about a self-proclaimed weight loss specialist practicing in a strip mall; you want to get a specialist who is of the same caliber that you would go to for any medical problem," he stresses.
Even if you have to wait a month for an appointment, do not stop taking a drug you suspect is causing you to gain weight on your own, he adds. Instead prepare for the visit by keeping a food diary of what you eat and when you eat it - "probably the best behavioral tool out there for losing weight."
You should also take steps to help work off any excess pounds, Fernstrom adds.
"Be a mindful eater, knowing you are at risk for weight gain," she says.
Also, get a pedometer and start walking. "You burn off 100 calories with every 2,500 steps, so walking just 45 minutes a day can help offset drug-induced weight gain," she says.

The New Amsterdams
The New Amsterdams began as a solo project to then-lead singer for The Get Up Kids Matt Pryor. In 2000, he released his debut album Never You Mind, which was comprised largely of acoustic tracks with sparse accompaniment. However, the album also featured Alex Brahl and Rob Pope providing extra instrument tracks. Two years later in January 2002, Pryor released Para Toda Vida, this time sticking almost purely to acoustic guitar, with the exception of a few tracks utilizing harmonica and banjo as well.

Astros owner disappointed, vows to use resources elsewhere
Long a cheerleader of general manager Jeff Luhnow's draft success, Astros owner Jim Crane was admittedly disappointed Friday when they failed to sign first overall pick Brady Aiken by the 4 p.m. deadline.

At signing deadline, no announcement on Brady Aiken
The Astros have got a knack for drama, if not negotiations. There was no immediate word Friday as MLB's 4 p.m. CT draft signing deadline passed, leaving the possibility that the Astros may not have signed any of left-hander Brady Aiken, the first overall pick in the draft, fifth-rounder Jacob Nix or 21st rounder Mac […] [Read More]

Motif detection inspired by immune memory
Wilson, William and Birkin, Phil and Aickelin, Uwe (2011) Motif detection inspired by immune memory. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 62 . pp. 253-265. ISSN 0160-5682
Official URL: http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jors/index.html
The search for patterns or motifs in data represents an area of key interest to many researchers. In this paper we present the Motif Tracking Algorithm, a novel immune inspired pattern identification tool that is able to identify variable length unknown motifs which repeat within time series data. The algorithm searches from a neutral perspective that is independent of the data being analysed and the underlying motifs. In this paper we test the flexibility of the motif tracking algorithm by applying it to the search for patterns in two industrial data sets. The algorithm is able to identify a population of meaningful motifs in both cases, and the value of these motifs is discussed.

On Gonzalez not needing to even ask how he felt about ninth:
"It means a lot. They've noticed what I'm trying to do and they're giving me the opportunities. I really appreciate that."
On wanting to go deeper in games:
"Yeah that's about as deep as you can go. I was pretty pleased. It was fun."
On what it feels like to walk off the mound, game over:
"I told Craig. Man, I'm jealous. You get to do this all the time. You get pumped up there in the last inning. That's a lot of fun."
On if had to talk his way back out there:
"No, they gave me the opportunity and I wasn't about to say I didn't want it."
On if felt as strong as he looked in ninth:
"Yeah, I felt good. I was throwing my pitches down in the zone still. I made some good ones there, actually a backup slider to get the first guy so that wasn't the best pitch but I'll take the result all day."
On the key to going deeper this year:
"I've been more aggressive. Even when I'm getting behind in the count, I'm not doing it the same way I used to. I've got a purpose behind the pitches I'm throwing now, especially earlier in the count, hoping I can get some quick outs and it's happening. I'm not getting the strikeouts I used to get, but I'll take a flyball. As long as it's an out, it's an out."
On other phases of game working well too, offense, defense:
"Some great defensive plays. Chipper made two or three over there. Mike Bourn, Jason, Pastornicky, everybody was making plays. Freddie made a play there in the eighth. Got a great defense out there, just trying to use them, let them have some fun too."
On second-lowest ERA for a Brave through eight starts since Maddux in 1994:
"That's pretty cool. I'm going to keep doing what I can, hopefully continue having success."
On if working off the fastball:
"I threw a lot of fastballs. I threw a few good sliders. That's still a work in progress. I threw a lot of change-ups tonight. I was really pleased. That was the best my change-up has been all year. I controlled it, kept it down in the zone and got some of the results I wanted to see with it."
On getting runs early:
"It's easier to do everything, whether I go six or nine, when I've got a five, six, seven-run lead it makes it so much easier…Having that lead really alleviates a lot of stress."
On best ERA in baseball, biggest difference this year:
"I'm pitching more to contact. Trying to throw as many strikes as I can and trying not to fall behind and get into those six, seven, eight, nine pitch at-bats that I had a lot of last year."
On Beachy's outing:
"If you can keep their speed off base and keep their running game from getting going, and Beachy just said 'You know what? Nobody is getting on base.' It was fun to play behind him. I think ever since he's gotten to the point where he said I'm going to sacrifice some strikeouts to go deeper in games, you see the result. Because he's got stuff to get people out consistently. Tonight was his crowing effort."
On going deeper into games:
"You throw a nine-inning shutout, especially with this club we've got this year, you're setting yourself up for a lot of success. It's fun to watch the young guys kind of make the transition from not knowing that they belong here to thinking they belong here to knowing they belong here. And he's starting to get to the point where he knows he belongs here."
On lowest ERA through eight starts for a Brave since Maddux in '94:
"Yeah, that guy was pretty good too. He's establishing himself as a front-end starter and that's saying something for the limited amount of experience he has. He's caught on very quickly. He took his lumps, first little while of his career, made some adjustments and now you're seeing the fruits of that."
On Beachy's determination to go deep:
"He's been fun to watch. He's built off a great rookie year. He's one of those guys that expects a lot out of himself, probably expects more out of himself than we do. It doesn't surprise me at all what he's been able to do up until this point in the season. He's a hard worker and he's determined. He finally kept his pitch count low enough to where he can flirt with going the distance. It's fun to finish a game. It was exciting to watch."
On if he was working off his fastball:
"He was pitching with a lot of confidence and pounding the strike zone and getting ahead of hitters. When you're the aggressor out there on the mound, it's a lot different. Hitters react to you a lot differently than when you're on the ropes and when you're nibbling. He takes the game to them, and that's what it takes to be successful."
On Beachy:
"He's just showing how smart and intelligent, when he puts a plan together and puts it into action, how good he really is."
On what he and Roger did to help him be more efficient:
"This is all on Brandon. You can tell pitchers this and that but to go out and execute. That's what it's about. It's about execution, and that's what he did tonight. He knows the game. And we've tried to express how important it is to pitch to contact, but quality pitches. He put it in action tonight. It was great catching him tonight."
On lowest ERA for a Brave through eight starts since Maddux in 94:
"Wow. Very impressive. He's one of the hardest-working guys in this clubhouse. He went into this offseason and gathered all the information that he did the year before, and worked on his weaknesses. And those weaknesses are now strengths. That shows you the character of who he is."
On if any question in your mind after 110 he could go back out in ninth:
"He's a specimen. The guy works as hard as anybody in the game. So yeah, he could have probably pitched another couple innings. He didn't really have many stressful innings, and I think that's the name of the game. The pitch count thing is irrelevant in my opinion. It's how many stressful pitches you throw and tonight he didn't throw many."
On some of the weaknesses he's turned to strengths:
"Understanding that you've got to pitch to a lineup. You don't just pitch to everybody. You understand the guys in their lineup and if they're not a good matchup for you, you don't give them much to hit. Then you go after the guy where it's a good matchup. And those are the little things that with time, he's going to understand even better. Tonight was great."
On his demeanor:
"He went out there tonight and really put us on his back….We came out and swung the bats for him. That makes it a little easier to pitch to contact."
On what was effective for Beachy:
"He commanded all his pitches. He commanded the strike zone. We gave him a nice lead to work with. Great for him. I think this is his first complete game in the big leagues and he makes it a shutout. It was all Beachy today and more than enough offense to give him a cushion and get him settled in.
On if any doubt about letting him go out for complete game?
"No doubt at all. The only question was how far we could push him. I think this might have been the most pitches he's thrown in his career. But that was the only question. We had two guys warming up in the bullpen. There was no real room to extend him a lot more because we don't have a day off where we can bump him and get him an extra day [of rest]. We don't have to worry about that. We'll get on the plane and go play Tampa Bay and it should be an interesting series."
On if surprised by how well he's pitching this season:
"No, not at all. I think we saw a lot of growing in him in spring training and he's getting right there were everybody says good major league pitchers are not rookies anymore and that's 30, 35, 40 starts. I think he is right around that right now. We are seeing a mature guy. We didn't play really good defense behind him. Tyler makes that error on that throw that he tried to hold up, and he covers it up. We goes out there and gets out. Prado throws the ball to third and makes it a second-and-third situation and he was able to cover it up. Those are the good signs of a good pitcher."
On if getting nervous at 122 pitches:
"People look at the boxscore and see the numbers and see 122 [pitches] and think 'What a breather.' Roger and I are hanging on every pitch because you want the kid to be successful. You want him to have the complete game. You want him to have the shutout. But then you want to be able to keep him healthy. I don't know what the number [of pitches] would have been. He was fine. Other than the second-and-third situation, he really didn't have any stressful innings. It was a good rhythm game. Good for him."

Great game by Beachy. THAT's the way a Braves starter is supposed to pitch — just like Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine…! A starter should be able to go at least 7 innings…… and put down a sacrifice bunt, and get an occasional hit and RBI…! GO BRAVES!
May 18th, 2012
12:04 am
Excellent performance yet again. You can truly see a difference in his approach out there and it showed tonight better than it has before. MLB leader in ERA and now 5-1. Well done sir. I hope Minor had pen and paper and was taking notes tonight.
May 18th, 2012
12:07 am
Hey DOB,
You know that Beachy is pleased when he's not being critical of himself. He's a perfectionist…at least he appears to be that way in his postgame comments. For example, he may have just pitched a 2 run, 7 inning game and he will say something like "I should have never let that guy get on base."
Great to see such determination and hard work pay off in a young kid who was a baseball nobody a couple of years ago.
He is probably our best pitcher at the moment!
Go BRAVES!
May 18th, 2012
12:25 am
Its a good thing that we never traded him to the White Sox last year like mlbtraderumors.com had talked about. Also beachy just make adjustment to the hitters 2nd and 3rd times through the lineup……Mike Minor needs to take notice.
May 18th, 2012
12:34 am
Gattis only 1 hit and 1 Rbi tonight. Slumping. Great game by Beachy.
42 mil to play with next year by Wren. Let's up Bourn to 11 mil a year for 5 years; 55 mil take it or leave it. That would leave 31 mil for another position player and raises for Prado, Freeman, Beachy. Put Gattis in LF and move Prado back to the IF. Maybe spend 12 mil on a SP.
Move or release JJ; trade Minor to send him to the minors; Teheran to the rotation. Wren is in a good $$$ situation for the next 2 years if he is wise. No more KK's; Lowes.
May 18th, 2012
12:40 am
This is the line up that can take us to the promised land.Even Beachy can handlle the bat.Now Braves have two number one starters, I think it's all starting to come together.
May 18th, 2012
12:48 am
I love watching Brandon Beachy pitch, but I hate watching Tommy Hanson pitch. Tommy needs to get some pointers from Beachy, because Tommy fast ball needs a lot of work. Lets go Braves !
May 18th, 2012
12:51 am
Beachy is the future ACE of the Braves staff even once Teheran, Delgado, Vizciano, and whoever else all grow up and develop not just physically but as pitchers as well. Beachy is a bonafide star and if he continues to work on his slider he will be one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. His fastball and changeup already are on the level of a frontline starter/ace and both of them are plus pitches for him. But, if he continues to develop that slider he will be one of the best in all of the majors for years to come. Right now for Beachy it's all about consistency and with each and every start he's showing everybody how great and how consistent he can be.
May 18th, 2012

Beachy was definitely top shelf tonight… and you could just see it coming! Like several mentioned, this wasn't a big surprise out of Beachy… he's been headed this way all season, and really much of last season as well. No pitcher is going to be right on every time out, but Beachy is quickly becoming very much like the 'Big 3′ of years past… not so much with his pitching style but by the way most of us have come to expect a good outing by him. Hopefully it will be contagious!

Where are all the nasayers? When the Braves have a great game you never see these guys come out and say how glad they are the Braves are winning. HT, Rafael, Joe Tess- do you only post when you have something negative to say? Are you glad your negative predictions are not coming true? Chipper is playing superbly; did you notice JSS? And some redemption for FW on signing Lowe- he is leading the AL in ERA. He does have the stuff.
May 18th, 2012
7:17 am
Redemption for Wren? We are paying 10 mil of that salary and getting nothing for it. Might be some redemption if Wren worked for the Indians. Do you think they would want him? Another big Wren $$$ mistake: Uggla who has 45 K's and is on target for 180 + for the season.
Do you think someone could tell him that with 2 strikes, just put the ball in play and get the RBI?
Baserunning mistakes lately as well. Prado doesn't go tonight for some reason and costs us a run on FF groundout. Fransciso and others thrown out on the bases lately.

outstanding performance by Beachy last night! it was truly a pleasure to watch how he handled the marlins' lineup after the first time thru it. would like for him and Hudson to pass that 'bulldog' mentality on to the rest of the rotation.
May 18th, 2012
7:52 am
Told you before Spring Training Brandon Beachy would become our best young pitcher, not Hanson or Jurrjens; told you during Spring Training Jurrjens was smoke and mirrors, Hanson overrated, and Beachy deserved to pitch opening day; and told you at the end of Spring training Beachy would soon become our best pitcher in the rotation and future ace of our staff.

Mr. O'Brien,
I note that all teams in NL East have records above 500. Is this some sort of record for this late in the Season? Seems like partially a result of the imbalanced schedule, as we have played so few games thus far against the East. Thanks.

May 18th, 2012
8:10 am
Beachy is the number two starter now behind Hudson. He won't go nine innings every game but now we know he can and still have plenty left after 100 pitches. Hanson and Minor are gassed after five innings. They may hang on through the sixth but you Can tell they have little on their fastball and their control leaves them. Delgado seems to be getting there but probably won't be a nine innings guy until next year. With Hanson's throwing motion there will be continued arm and shoulder problems like Pryor and Woods for the Cubs. Minor has Tom Glavine fastball but pitches like he has a John Smoltz fastball. He has to develop Glavine's control of hitting or coming close to outter half of plate and only throw inside to brush guys back. He is not a power pitcher like Beachy and should not try to pitch like one.
May 18th, 2012
8:27 am
Mr. Beachy, I don't know if you read this or not but coming from an old Braves fan, young man you deserve a BLUE STAR!!! Don't lose track of who you are and keep putting the solid numbers up there and you will get your just rewards.

Did anyone notice when Larry was called out on a force at 2nd?…… not because he was out, the short stop dropped the ball, but because he was in right field. I guess if he's not going to hustle down the line on a ground ball, why would he even attempt to break up a double play. that was so funny and typical of the way this guy has played since blowing out his knee at the beginning of his career. playing scared is no way to play. get off the field if you are not going to try any harder than that. and ENOUGH with the announcers blowing up his head with all this crap they keep saying. "slide easy chipper"????? really? please retire now!!!!!
May 18th, 2012

@ don mcmahon
i agree with you that it is sometimes frustrating that uggla cant get a sac fly, like in the first inning. but he is hitting well this year, and though he strikes out a lot, his average is 277 which is nothing to complain about. also, in regards to prado's base running "error." i was at the game last night sitting a few rows up directly behind third base and had prado gone he would have been thrown out by an easy 10 feet. problem being that the infield was way in and freddie hit the ball too hard. a slow roller he could have gone, but the play wouldn't have been close. francisco's play the other night was terrible, however!

We as fans have been trained that a pitcher has to come out of the game ~100 pitches thrown, so when Beachy got to through the 7th, the blog was clamoring about Fredi's move or non move on Beachy.
Kudos to Beachy and Fredi for playing this one out! Now, let's beat some Rays!

May 18th, 2012
10:03 am
Chipper was out and the ss dropped the ball transferring it to throw to first. All players get out of the way of the throw to first either by pealing off toward right or going down on the ground early. Better than getting hit in the face. Also better on his knees to peal to the right. Don't think I would necessarily have to explain this to a true baseball fan.
May 18th, 2012
10:08 am
Braves need to kick some more fish butt. A Ray is a fish, isn't it?
Starting pitching is improving, need for Minor to get straightened out, and Hanson to go a little deeper into the games, I think they will get it together.
Sure am glad that the Braves have Larry Wayne.

I stand mistaken on Beachy, he pitched really well last night and I am pleased with his progress! He has made the adjustments needed to be a viable pitcher both in the rotation and in the national league. Minor will turn it around and Hanson has been a couple pitches away from getting out of most of his troubles.
Prado did what he was supposed to do when he was on 3rd, and FF was at bat. Although it was a grounder, it was sharply hit and he would have been thrown out at the plate. Ultimately, Uggla cant strike out. that next at bat.
Go Spurs Go!

May 18th, 2012
10:29 am
That was some performance last night by Brandon. He is pitching like an ace. Best ERA in the majors! Now that is Atlanta Braves pitching. Huddy's pitching up to his normal standards, so now we need at least one more reliable starter—will it be Tommy Gun Hanson? Minor (doesn't look likely)? Delgado? Medlen? Someone else needs to step up.
May 18th, 2012
10:30 am
Mr Beachy will be joining Jair if he continues with his current mechanics. Because he pulls the baseball forward he is going to lose the stability in his shoulder joint. He topped out at 94 mph last night. A year from now he'll be very lucky to top out at 92. He has a fairly significant forearm bounce as well.
He should walk more batters as well.

May 18th, 2012
11:15 am
Karma…I don't know where you're getting this from. From what I see BB's mechanics are great, well-balanced and about as stress-free as you can get when you consider what he, or any baseball pitcher, is trying to do with his arm…whatayawant, a 75-85 mph'er like Hernandez? There's absolutely no comparison with his delivery mechanics and Hanson's (and while his are somewhat improved, he (Hanson), still has that delay – I call it 'dragging' – with bringing his arm through, thus losing a lot of the drive momentum that his legs and body is supposed to provide to help his arm…that's also why he's so slow to the plate – it's as if his delivery is in stages and it tears the hell out of his shoulder over time. Beachy simply doesn't have that problem. Even Glavine was raving about Brandon's mechanics as fundamental to his success.
Don't want to make much of it, but I believe that anybody that was paying attention last season could see that young Mr Beachy had what it takes. Now if we could just figure out how to duplicate his head and put it on Minor's body, we'd really have something. Maybe they could let Glavive spend some time with Minor cause I really do think his problem lies between his ears. One final thing about Beachy…in one the Braves Spring games they televised, they showed the players 'running the outfield' after they had finished their stints in the lineup. Virtually every one of them were only jogging on what was supposed to be the 'running' leg of the work (they run from one foul-line to the other, then walk back…then repeat). Beachy was 'bustin' it every time on his run. In other words the guy is working his butt off and it's paying off…and good for him. I just hope he doesn't end up with Boros as his agent some day.
May 18th, 2012
11:38 am
Beachy's mechanics are flawless. So flawless that I'm actually getting tired of EVERYONE in baseball rave so much about it. So for anyone to question BBs delivery is just plain goofy. ve always loved the kids approach from day one. With Huddy, Delgado & Tommy (in that order) we have a formidable staff. Imho…Medlen has earned a shot as a starter more so than Minor anyway. Medlen id gettin screwed. I truly hope the reports on Peter Moylan looking real good in rehab so he can come back and Medlen can get his well deserved shot.

+Ozzie Guillen quote from last night, concerning taking his starting pitcher out, — "That's what I hate about the National League, you have to take your pitcher out, for offense,"

May 18th, 2012
11:47 am
I would be really looking forward to seeing Delgado pitch in the Saturday game, unfortunately thanks to Fox in my area, I won't be able to. I see the same aggressiveness from him that we're seeing from Beachy. He has been pitching into the 7th inning and beyond in his last three starts and has only been lacking a little help from his friends (the offense). Right now he is at least league average for a # 3 starter (WHIP, innings/start, ERA) and is only getting better. With a little cushion, it becomes easier for a starter to go deeper into games.
May 18th, 2012
11:49 am
DD @11:15……"I just hope that he doesn't end up with Boras as his agent someday."
If this kid stays healthy, and continues to improve, I don't think that it matters much, if my Aunt Sadie is his agent. He is going to demand a very high price when he gets Free.
But that is a long way off, thankfully.
May 18th, 2012

With that 35 million being freed up in the next two years, the priority should be extending the core players — Beachy, Kimbrel, Freeman, Heyward, and Prado, and resigning Bourn. Hopefully the big bats that everyone is calling for are in our system already — Gattis, Cunningham, Francisco? — How many big-time FAs actually help their new team? Pujols? Bay? Soriano? Werth? Crawford? ARod for 10 years? Fielder for the length of his contract?
May 18th, 2012
12:19 pm
Hanson looked the best he's been all year last outing. It took him over 100 pitches to get through 6 innings, but he had better velocity and life on his fastball and was working off of it instead of an endless succession of curves like he was featuring earlier.
With all the concern about starters innings, that has not been a real problem so far. We have not been overusing the pen, and Fredi has done a very good job of distributing those innings. We rarely see Kimbrel pitch more than once or twice a week, and have not seen EOF and Venters overused either. For all the venom expressed against Durbin, he has not cost us any games so far (all the bad innings have come with the team trailing or comfortably ahead and have not changed the outcome of the game) and he has gotten the outs when used with the game still on the line. Medlen in the pen has been key to saving wear and tear on OVentrebel. For those wanting to swap roles for Minor and Medlen, consider how comfortable you would feel with Minor pitching in a pressure situation from the 7th inning on. Medlen (and Livan) have the guts to handle those innings, and Minor has not shown the same fortitude.
May 18th, 2012
12:28 pm
@Jim hopefully, Hanson will continue. `100 pitches in 6 innings is a lot. 100 in 7 is OK. He has got to throw more strikes early in the count. He gets behind in count and throws a fat one. Usually it costs him. Looked better last outing. Hope he continues. I do not trade places with Medlen and Minor. I send Minor to the Minors and give Teheran a cjhance.
May 18th, 2012
12:37 pm
It looks to me like Hanson has been pitching pretty good in his last few starts, excepting that he can't get past the middle of the game, due to his pitch count.
The last quote from Hudson on this post by CR, kind of tells the story about Hanson so far, in my opin.
He gets ahead of a lot of batters, going 0-2 or 1-2, and then he and/or the catcher decide to start nibbling at the corners.
Before long he has ran the count to 3-2 with 6,7,or8 pitches thrown, and winds up losing the batter due to a walk or a hit.
I think that Hudson is right, go after the batters and get them out, trust his guys playing behind him, especially with no runners on base.
May 18th, 2012
12:39 pm
Well, if someone is going to take the time to call out Chipper for his supposed lack of effort on one play during a game in which the Braves won 7-0, I am going to call him out for being a certain hall of famer (probably first ballot) based on his exemplary career. I further call him out on his 1999 MVP award in which he virtually carried the offense on his back. I call him out for his tireless work on his swing and helping others with their swing. Finally, I call him out on his play this year, in which he has already contributed several winning and memorable moments and contributed immensely to the team's fine record and recovery from an 0-4 start.
May 18th, 2012
12:39 pm
I will Hanson could learn from Beachy. Hanson is horrible to watch pitch, Beachy is great to watch.
May 18th, 2012

12:47 pm
I added a second paragraph about the bullpen in the response to your comment about Hanson. There is a loud call from others to put Medlen in the rotation. His role in the pen is much more important than a start every 5 days. If the 5th starter gives 6 innings and a chance for the team to win, we can live with that. I think/hope Minor will come around and be adequate as the 5th starter.
May 18th, 2012

12:47……."His role in the pen is much more important than a start every 5 days."

Labour Party general election campaign in meltdown as latest opinion polls give Conservatives double-digit lead
Oh, happy days.
Labour's worst week of the campaign so far was capped by David and Ed Miliband's unveiling of a poster in which the Conservative leader was depicted as … the coolest man on television. It feels like a turning point — a moment of such staggering, comic ineptitude it will surely lead to a re-organisation of Labour's campaign team. Mandelson, in particular, looks vulnerable. The Gene Hunt poster is his third unforced error in a row, following his blithe dismissal of the business leaders who supported George Osborne's stance on National Insurance and his anointment of Tristram Hunt as Labour's candidate in Stoke Central. Suddenly, he seems less like Ming the Merciless and more like the Wizard of Oz.
His position won't be helped by the latest YouGov poll which gives the Tories a double-digit lead. According to a poll in today's Sunday Times, the Conservatives are on 39 per cent, Labour on 29 and the Lib Dems on 20. That's Labour's worst showing in a YouGov poll since December 17, 2009. If the general election were held tomorrow, and assuming the Conservatives do disproportionately well in marginal constituencies, that would give them a 20-seat majority.
Stop Press: Another poll, this one carried out by Angus Reid Public Opinion for The Sunday Express, puts the Tories on 38 per cent, Labour on 27 and the Lib Dems on 20.

Watch Lou Beach Reads From His Book '420 Characters' on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
Win a Book Wednesday
Win a copy of Lou Beach's stellar collection of short (and I mean real short) stories, 420 CHARACTERS!
Enter to win HERE!
Acclaimed artist and illustrator Lou Beach began his writing career by updating his Facebook status, every day, with a new stand-alone story no more than 420 characters long. These narrative gems soon appeared on his website, and then arrived in the literary world.
Alternately surreal, funny, ominous, and lyrical, 420 Characters offers an experience as dazzling as any in contemporary fiction, revealing worlds of meaning in single paragraphs. Beach's work has found admirers in Jonathan Lethem, Terry Gilliam, J. Robert Lennon, and others. The collection features original collages by the author.
Official rules here.
Good luck to you all!
Illustrator Lou Beach shares how, bored with Facebook status updates, he rewrote the game. And wrote 420 CHARACTERS.
