Naturally, Z is working on his hitting.
There's some more pics of John Grabow, Randy Wells and Sean Marshall as well if you follow the above link.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Glad to see he's working on his pitching.
~I know, I'm being a jerk~
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Looks like budget constraints are keeping the Cubs from issuing Colvin and Marshall some Cubs practice gear.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
No matter how hard he works out or how much he slacks off, he always looks the same.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
guessing $ 15 mil a year
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
ESPN is reporting 3/37 for Lincecum.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
"Right-hander Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants have settled their arbitration case, with the two-time NL Cy Young winner signing a $23 million, two-year contract ahead of Friday's originally scheduled hearing."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Hi Giants Management, here is $10 million dollars.
Warm Regards,
Tim Lincecum and my incomptetent agent.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Not sure its incompetence. Dude is 1st year arbitration eligible and is going to get 23 million for service years 3 and 4.
As a pitcher it would seem more prudent to get all the security you can. Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
1 year $5 million is security for life.
He would have won and got probably $18 next year if healthy, so maybe $8 million - but that doesn't include the bonuses.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Because his case was better than Howards'.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
No, it's not 100% certain, but I am sure if you survey around (and I bet one of the writers does) the consensus is going to be that Lincecum was going to win. Was places in voting mentioned as a criteria? The guy could simply say "here is the list of guys who won the Cy Young award in their first two full seasons:
Here's a list of the guys who didn't:
(every othe pitcher in the history of the game). Howard had won two of the major awards, he got $10 million three years ago. There are no pitching comps - I am incomprable."
Re: Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Mark Prior won two Cy Youngs in a row! Who knew?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
He was the best pitcher in the NL. Maybe for only 18 months. Similar to Lincecum over the last 24 or so months.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i hope that's not in any specific order because if it is it's loaded with retardation. good info aside from that, though.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Of course it's not in any specific order. Castro would be first on the list if it was. Long live hype.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
s.strasburg is #31 on the list...for instance.
fwiw, the actual info in the article is top notch stuff, but the order is a little confusing.
maybe it's cuz strasburg throws an inverted-W therefore his arm is 100% gonna fall off just like john smoltz's waited 20 years to do...wait...
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i know..i still disagree with the ranking, though.
the important part is the info and the stats along with the info is handy.

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Could be out until June? Sure and Sandberg could be the Cub Manager in June. Pujols could be out with hemorrhoid surgery until June.
Is Phil Rogers really a reporter? Lazy, dumb-ass reporter might be a better description.
I can only hope that Phil Rogers could be out with writer's block until June.
...at least Bruce Levine uses a Hendry quote (who relates his conversation with Cubs trainer Mark O'Neill regarding Lilly):
"I talked to Mark O'Neil [trainer] last week, and he said he is coming along fine," Hendry said. "If he starts April 15 that will be fine. I don't see it being anything unless there is some kind of setback that happens in camp. It was a real minor procedure. In fairness to Ted, we're not going to rush him either. If he's 95 percent on Opening Day then we will wait until he is 100 percent."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I, the eternal pessimist, also said June.
Just going on how Cubs report pitchers recovery times from the past, you usually add 6-8 to weeks conservative what they say.

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
the comments are brain-hurty...but most comments on articles are.
I love the one where the guy goes on for two paragraphs talking about how superior defenders know how to position themselves. Sammy Sosa is the only MLB player I know who got to position himself in the field, everyone else stands where the bench coach tells him to.
A little blurb by a blog I hadn't heard of on SIERRA and the Cubs.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
W/R/T #3, my understanding of it is that it's just a way of saying the marginal value of a strikeout decreases as a pitcher's strikeout rate increases.
I'm trying to wrap my head around #4. After thinking about it for a few moments I think it might be easier to describe what the hell is going on in Lost.
I think what #4 means is that under the theory that groundballs are more likely to be hits than flyballs, groundball pitchers are more likely to have runners on base when pitching, so subsequent groundballs are more useful since they are more likely to be able to induce double plays. The logic seems to be a bit circular, but that's possibly because I'm either not getting it or not explaining it correctly :)
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
3. I think is just saying that the difference between say 4 and 5 strikeouts per 9 will give more benefit than say 9 to 10. Say your HR adjusted WHIP is 1.5. So in an average inning you have one and a half baserunners. If you record all your outs via groundball and flyball, you're going to give up more 'productive outs'. If you get all your outs via strikeout, you don't care how many guys are on base, because they're not going anywhere without a hit (or a forced in walk). I think that's what it's illustrating.
4. Groundballs tend to be singles and maybe doubles. Flyballs which go for hits are rarely singles.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
they just came early to get out of the cold...
Sosa never had that issue.
Plus he needed the extra time to complete his steroid cycle.

Interesting development in Oakland
I just read that the A's are talking a one year deal with Gabe Gross. If so, it looks like ex Cubs Eric Patterson, Jake Fox and Aaron Miles could be fighting it out for the last seat on the Oakland bench.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Off topic:
I was at a friend's house today while he was cleaning out a storage cabinet with old baseball memorabilia in it. He found a box of Slammin' Sammy Flakes, commemorating his 66 home run season. I had to read the fine print, and it said "Free Toy Syringe in Every Box!"
I didn't remember that on there before:)
Re: Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Why this stuff showed up today, I dunno. It all happened two weeks ago. The A's dumped Taveras, shipped Miles and signed Gross. Fox must be safe. So that leaves Patterson who I believe must be put on waivers before he can be sent back to the minors.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Cubs should jump all over EPatt.
2nd base/CF leadoff possiblility. Much cheaper than Baker,Theriot or Fontenot going forward.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I agree, and he's got more upside.
But I wonder whose job the Cubs would have to give him in order to keep him on the active MLB roster. Probably Fontenot's, right? And then Fontenot would be released or traded? Which leaves the Cubs with Jeff Baker or EPatt (whose defense I at 2nd is still suspect, right?). It's a risk I'd be willing to take. I suppose giving Hoffpauir the shaft would be an option as well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Fontentot is shitty defensively just like Epatt is. Both are lefthanded. Difference is that Epatt is 55% cheaper. 4 years younger. Has a much higher ceiling. Can play the Outfield as well.
Really no downside that I can see?

DR AARON B: Thanks to the Cubs optioning him to the minors for disciplinary reasons on 9-3-2007, Eric Patterson is out of options a year earlier than he should have been.
E-Pat had a nice little run with the A's in 31 games in 2009 (287/373/394, playing 2B-LF-CF-RF) after hitting 307/376/494 with 29 doubles, 11 triples, 12 HR, and 43 SB (6 CS) in 110 games at AAA Sacramento while playing all over the place (2B-3B-1B-LF-CF), and is projected as the A's IF-OF super-sub in 2010. And being out of options certainly should help solidify his chances of making the A's Opening Day 25-man roster.
While he is definitely an "offense-first" type of utility guy, I suspect the Cubs would seriously consider taking Patterson back if given the chance. He would be a good "25th man" on an N. L. club, with the ability to PH and PR in addition to having the versatility needed to play a number of different positions (albeit none of them well).
BTW, despite what was reported at mlbtraderumors, both Eric Patterson AND Jake Fox are out of minor league options.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
fontenot's D is better than epat's D...which should say enough.
epat's footwork at 2nd is abysmal. who wants him for 2nd? seriously... technically, bj upton "can" play SS.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I'd like to get Dr. AZ Phil's opine on this matter. He has seen Epatt's work at 2nd more than anyone else has.
His rate and fielding %'s don't look terrible.

DR AARON B: Eric Patterson has plus-range and an above-average arm for a second-baseman, is capable of making spectacular plays, and he's a good flyhawk. He has a lot of the physical attributes you usually see in a young shortstop.
On the negative side, he has difficulty turning double plays (rhythm & footwork problems) and he has Steve Sax Disease (the closer he gets to 1st base, the more-erratic the throw). He plays 2nd base like a bull in a china shop. No finesse. He's like a guy who keeps stepping on his girlfriend's feet when they're dancing. He's a two-guard playing the point.
I saw Eric Patterson as a prototypical CF or LF when he was coming up through the Cubs system, but the Cubs didn't try him in the outfield until mid-way through his third season in the organization. I know E-Pat prefers to play 2nd base, and sometimes a player's "comfort zone" in the field matters more than aptitude because it helps the player perform at his best at the plate. The more he hits, the better chance he has to play 2B. But he is a liability in the field.

What is your opinion of Fontenot's defense?

What is your opinion of Fontenot's defense
DR AARON B: When Mike Fontenot was acquired by the Cubs, he was very stiff and had a lot trouble turning the DP (very much like E-Pat), and he had (and still has) minimal range going to his right.
While he doesn't bring a "Gold Glove" to the field, over time Fontenot has made himself into an average defensive second-baseman, capable of making most all the routine plays. He's not versatile enough to be a true utility player, though, so either he plays 2B (in a platoon if not every day) or he goes back to AAA. And he has to hit, too. His just average defense & speed won't carry him if he doesn't hit.
On the other hand, Eric Patterson does have the athleticism to be a utility player. He is below-average defensively no matter where he plays, but his combination of bat/speed/occasional power can help a manager overlook some of his defensive shortcomings, as long as he keeps hitting and continues to show patience at the plate.
I believe Patterson has a much brighter future than does Fontenot. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2011 Fontenot is playing 2B somewhere in AAA while E-Pat is on an MLB roster.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Thanks for the info Phil.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I thought his defense at 3rd was pretty solid last year, and think he could get by as a emergency replacement at SS or a corner outfield spot. He certainly needs to hit better than he did last year, though. I think he's the guy who suffered the most from Aram's injury ... well other than Aram. He had to play a newish position, and then he tried to pick up the offensive slack and didn't handle it well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I get the feeling, the Cubs are done with the Pattersons.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
if only he could play 2nd worth a damn.

May the best team win, and subsequently humiliate the Cardinals.
I love arriving here first thing in the morning, adding a few moronic posts (moranic for any Cardinals fans who may be trolling), and reading the sage posts of all you guys. Most knowledgeable fans on any forum, by far. So post like crazy today and help give TCR some visibility!
I told my wife last night that I'm going to need a support system for tonight's game. Tonight is going to be a lot harder on me than it is going to be on these rookie bad asses.
James Russell elected free agency.
based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.

Parmalat Units In Netherlands Under Scrutiny For Bond Sales
By GREGORY CROUCH
Published: January 15, 2004
NIJMEGEN, the Netherlands, Jan. 14— Still smarting from the $1.2 billion accounting scandal at Royal Ahold, Dutch financial regulators said on Wednesday that they had opened an investigation into Parmalat's financial dealings in the Netherlands.
Parmalat, the global dairy and food giant based in Italy that was declared insolvent on Dec. 24, used a group of shell companies in the Netherlands to raise at least 5.2 billion euros ($6.64 billion) from bond investors around the world. The shell companies were set up under special Dutch tax laws that help businesses and wealthy individuals from other countries, ranging from multinational companies to rock stars, avoid paying taxes on royalty income.
Parmalat had at least five subsidiaries in the Netherlands that existed almost entirely on paper. Documents and regulatory filings show that most of the companies had no employees, sold no goods and had headquarters consisting of post office boxes. Nevertheless, these ''brass plate'' companies played a vital role in raising capital for Parmalat, selling at least 30 bond issues managed by at least 10 major investment banks over the last decade.
Those bonds and others issued by Parmalat have plummeted in value since the scandal surrounding the company hit the headlines in December, inflicting huge potential losses on the institutional investors who bought them. Duncan A. Yin of CRT Capital Group, an American bond dealer, said on Tuesday that most Parmalat bonds were trading for less than 25 cents on the dollar, implying that at least 6.9 billion euros ($8.8 billion) in value had been wiped out by the scandal so far.
Now, both in the Netherlands and abroad, regulators are collecting and scrutinizing annual reports and bond offering documents of the shell companies to see if Parmalat's financing activities violated securities laws.
Seger Pijnenburg, a spokesman for the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets, the main securities regulator here, said the agency had been in frequent contact with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States about Parmalat's shell companies. ''We are investigating closely the activities of Parmalat in the Netherlands,'' Mr. Pijnenburg said. ''We are trying to gather together all of the facts we can.''
Neither the Parmalat shell companies nor the administrators who established and ran them have been charged with any wrongdoing in the Netherlands.
Still, the paper trail that Parmalat's activities generated here sheds light on how the group used an intricate web of corporate vehicles to raise money and move it around within its ranks, at one point even entering into a currency hedging transaction effectively with itself.
And the case provides a glimpse into what is known in the Netherlands as the trust business, the lucrative work of creating and administering hundreds of brass-plate companies for foreigners, which until recently had largely avoided any regulatory scrutiny.
Over the last 15 years, Parmalat set up at least five subsidiaries here: Parmalat Netherlands B.V., Parmalat Capital Netherlands B.V., Dairies Holding International B.V., Parmalat Finance Corporation B.V. and Parma Food Corporation B.V. Together, these companies issued the majority of the global Parmalat group's outstanding bond debt, with a total face value estimated to exceed 8.9 billion euros ($11.4 billion). The bulk of the Dutch bonds -- more than 20 issues -- came from Parmalat Finance. That company's annual reports show a trail of transactions among Parmalat subsidiaries. In 2002, for instance, Parmalat Finance reported that its main source of revenue was 279.4 million euros ($356.7 million) in interest payments from other Parmalat entities.
In the same year, Parmalat Finance recorded a profit of 136 million euros on a currency hedge, a type of transaction in which one party effectively buys insurance against currency fluctuations from another.
The party on the other side of this deal was another Parmalat-owned entity, Bonlat, based in the Cayman Islands, which is at the center of the scandal involving missing assets at Parmalat. According to Parmalat Finance's annual report, Bonlat reimbursed it for part of its foreign exchange losses that year.
Hedging among subsidiaries of the same corporation would seem to accomplish little for the group as a whole, because one subsidiary's gains would be exactly canceled by the other's losses. Some accountants say the deal should have raised eyebrows. .
''Any time you start to see transactions like this on a subsidiary level, it always raises questions whether these gains and losses have been reported correctly in the parent company's financial statements and that should always be a red flag for the auditors,'' said Lynn Turner, a former chief accountant for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Deborah Harrington, a spokeswoman for Deloitte & Touche, the accountants for Parmalat Finance Corporation, said the firm could not discuss the matter because it involved confidential client information.
Anton Louwinger, a Dutch tax adviser with the Lovells law firm, said that he had not studied the particulars of the Parmalat deal, but that it would not be surprising to see a multinational group using such a transaction between subsidiaries for a legitimate business purpose, such as concentrating its currency exposure in a country where tax laws were favorable.
Tax experts said they thought Parmalat might have chosen to set up finance companies in the Netherlands for a similar reason. The withholding tax here on interest and royalties paid to foreign entities is usually much less than in other countries, and in many cases is zero. By issuing bonds here, Parmalat would likely have saved both itself and the buyers of its bonds some tax expense.
''You tend to see Dutch companies included in group structures in order to retain a reduction of the tax burden on intragroup interest,'' Mr. Louwinger said.
Parmalat Finance, which according to its reports had no employees, was administered in part by a subsidiary of Nauta Dutilh, a large law firm in the Netherlands. The Nauta unit and another company, Amaco, provided Parmalat Finance with a postal address and assisted the company in filing annual reports with the Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce, records show. In the Netherlands, chambers of commerce serve as repositories for corporate filings of companies not listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange.
Spokesmen for both Nauta Dutilh and Amaco declined to comment.
Two central figures in the Parmalat scandal who are in custody -- Fausto Tonna and Luciano del Soldato, both former chief financial officers of Parmalat -- have at various times been listed as managers of Parmalat Finance. Giovanni Tanzi, son of the founder of Parmalat, Calisto Tanzi, is also mentioned.
The Netherlands is tightening its restrictions on administrative subsidiaries and on the banks and law firms that set them up and run them, partly out of concern that brass-plate companies could be used for money laundering.

Day 11
... chuckle. On our last day in Sturgis after a nice ride we were headed back to the hotel and I noticed a sign along the side of the road. There was a bar that had a sign out front that showed "riders and fender fluff welcome". Well needless to say that got my dander up! It still works me up thinking about somebody putting that on the sign. I told Shane about it when we ...
Yay end of week 1 classes
Yay week 1 classes ended!! And ended well!!! Gave students surveys to fill out, and the comments were phenomenal!! They absolutely loved the class :))) always nice when that happens!!! Had a nice lunch and dinner in the dining hall with the staff too. AND I got paid for Emory. So the day is definitely looking up. Hope to have a relaxing time ...
Oops I have not updated... It's been pretty busy and tiring. Students arrived on Sunday, the same day I was working through the supply boxes and handouts and realizing some stuff was missing. I also checked my classroom and discovered a few issues... Issues I had anticipated and communicated to staff about. So Monday and Tuesday classes were rough. I mean on the surface, they went fine. I gave interesting lectures and students discussed and worked in groups. It was ...
2 hour flight to Philadelphia + 20 min train ride to center city + 2 hour wait/lunch + 1.5 hour bus ride later... I am at Lehigh University!!! It is a gorgeous campus with a lot of hills and concrete steps. The midday heat rivaled that of Atlanta. I managed to get checked in, shower and nap before going to an all staff dinner! It's a much bigger camp with 14-15 staff members and 120 students! Seems like a diverse, nice mix of people. I am ...
Renewed Resolve
... it was just too tempting to pass up, as hiking there would not only get my out of Duncannon but also push my mileage for the day up to 30, something I had been wanting to do for a while. So I walked over to the Pilot truck stop at the edge of town (past all the run-down gentleman's clubs and adult shops next to the river, further confirming my impression of the town) to grab a Subway sandwich and headed out around 9:30 p.m. for my first night hike on the trail.

Abuse of power
Published May 19, 2013 5:27 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
I totally agree with Rep. Jason Chaffetz that whoever is found guilty of abusing their power at the Internal Revenue Service should be prosecuted and sentenced to prison ("IRS officials should be jailed for tea party scandal, Chaffetz said," Tribune, May 14).
I suggest that Chaffetz begin legal proceedings against former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for war crimes, lying to the American people and starting a needless war that has cost our country and the world untold pain and suffering.
Never mind. Just remembered that they are Republicans.

DEFINITION of 'Call Price'
The price at which a bond or a preferred stock can be redeemed by the issuer. This price is set at the time the security is issued. Also referred to as "redemption price".
BREAKING DOWN 'Call Price'
For example, let's say the TSJ Sports Conglomerate issues 100,000 preferred shares with a face value of $100 with a call provision built in at $110. This means that if TSJ were to exercise its right to call the stock, the call price would be $110.
A company may exercise its right to call preferred stock if it wishes to discontinue payment of the dividend associated with the shares. It may choose to do this in an effort to increase earnings for common shareholders.
Preferred StockA class of ownership in a corporation that has a higher claim ...
DividendA distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided ...

FREEDOM'S GATE: Al Sharpton in Cleveland - unleashing violence
WASHINGTON, May 27, 2015 – The horrific violence and mass looting that ravished Ferguson, MO., and Baltimore, MD., did not occur in Cleveland, OH, despite Cleveland Police Officer Michael Brelo being found not guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the November 2012 shooting deaths of Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. The two were killed by a barrage of 137 shots fired by police into their car,
Local NAACP leaders were among many black leaders who vigorously disagreed with the judge's verdict but joined city officials Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams and Mayor Frank Jackson in requesting peaceful protest.
As an apparent result of combined community and city cooperation, only 71 people were arrested during demonstrations on Saturday.
But, the calmness in the city may be the quiet before the storm, since Al Sharpton has accepted a request to appear in Cleveland this week to address the judge's decision. Can the city, state or nation expect Ferguson or Baltimore level violence following Sharpton's Cleveland appearance? This is the question that will be addressed on Standing at Freedom's Gate with host Kevin Fobbs and nationally syndicated radio host Kenneth McClenton.
McClenton who hosts the Exceptional Conservative Show, formerly served as Policy Analyst for the DC Financial Authority and Ombudsman for the Federal Voting Assistance Program.

Where was God? - Al Sharpton to the rescue?
in Politics
Hr1 Talking about the Charleston, SC church massacre killing 9.
Obama:"This type of mass-violence does not happen in other advanced countries"
Joe:"Yes it does! I'll go thru a list tonite."
Pastor David Hegg answers the question, "Where was God in the Charleston, SC shootings?" It's the "problem of evil," either God allows us to have free will or He doesn't. There's no in between.
Hr2 Running down mass shootings in recent history. Guess what? They're not all in the US (contrary to what Pres. Obama says!) Guess what else? Most were in areas with the strictest gun control regulation! Surprised? I'm not.
Bradlee Dean with Sons of Liberty Media says the shooting is a condition of man's heart. It has nothing to do with gun control.
Hr3 Evan Sayet's conservative comedy show is a big hit! Keep supporting conservatives. That's how we change things.
Rachel Dolezal, the racial faker, is being offered reality show opportunities. And now she says there's no proof that her parents are her "biological" parents. Crazy!
SCOTUS rules that Gilbert, AZ discriminated against churches with local sign ordinance.
Frmr MA Gov. Deval Patrick diverted $37.5 million to a secret travel slush fund. Why did he need to hide it? Corruption? Does anyone care? Probably not. He's a Democrat.
Rev. Al Sharpton is going to Charleston, SC to "fix" everything. Oh goody!
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?
GoodBye Uncle Tom : The Slut Shaming of Al Sharpton
in Culture
the revolution of the mind continues...
This week we learned of Bryon Allen's 20 Billion dollar lawsuit against Al Sharpton, Comcast and Time Warner Cable for racial discrimination against Black Owned media companies.
Byron went in Madman style -and slut shamed Sharpton - but is his beef with Sharpton fair? Is Sharpton the "least expensive negro" and a "pawn" or is he just playing according to the rules of corporate America, while getting his paper and keeping the dialogue about race open?

Lake Oswego DMVOctober 7, 2013Government • Lake Oswego, United States
Where the privileged go to feel like peasant and wait in line
Airports16 Tips
Hotels18 Tips
Where the privileged go to feel like peasant and wait in line
Standard Sky Club affair, self-service booze is no longer true since the renovation. Grab a Bloody Mary before your early morning flight and remember to always tip your bartender
World class Golf, tennis, pools, great food, booze and miles of bike trails. This is a fantastic destination year round to get away.
You're here because your on vacation so live it up a little
Went here for lunch with a big group on the company dime. Staff made a big deal about no substitutions on a salad, really?. Missed a $20 bottle of wine on a $350 bill after check arrived. Poor form
It's odd that their mascot is a Hops flower but his name is "Barley". I get the beer theme, but that's like naming your cat "Dog"
Carnitas Tacos for days. Verde sauce is excellent. Very nice ppl but the dinning room tends to be a bit messy. Get your order to go and enjoy delicious Mexican food in your car on the way home.
Great happy hour from 3-6pm Daily. If the bar is busy, sit outside on the patio. They have umbrellas and heaters for all types of weather.
Decent Hampton, appears to be in the process of remodeling rooms. Has a new, clean carpet smell. Signage from freeway is lacking and considering the odd location in a business park it would be helpful
No free drinks if you have a partner pass (Delta, Alaska). They sell over priced airport food and drinks. Complimentary amenities suck, no wonder this company is bankrupt.
Remodeled space is great. New and more seating, new clean carpet but still an overall lack of outlets except against the window wall. Drinks and Food are still great and it's never too crowded.
This place is worthless. Called in an order and waited around for 15 minutes after I was told it would be 5 minutes wait. Staff completely forgot about my order. What a joke
Really drunk? Carne Asada fries will help get you through the night
Ride the Cat to the top. It operates in the winter on holidays and weekends when conditions permit. It's free with lift ticket but expect a long wait because its a blast.
They have security tags attached to their shopping baskets. Smart business but it clearly indicates that shady people frequent this place
California burrito or Carne Asada Fries are good. Both are excellent when you are really drunk at 3am
Be sure to stand 2ft from the windows in front of the gate so you are in everyone's way who is trying to board. Even better if you bring your 200lb bag as a carry-on that you can't manage by yourself.
The dinning room smells like weed. Not that it should come as a surprise, it's a Taco Bell.
Really nice by Best Western standards. The room suites in the 2nd building have full kitchens. The AC/ Heat units don't have thermostats so expect to wake up really cold or hot late at night.
This is not well marked and easy to miss as you enter the airport. On the plus side, it's very close to arrivals and baggage claim area.

Network Password Decryptor Portable
editor's review
Network Password Decryptor Portable is a utility which can help individuals recover network passwords saved in the Credential Store area of Windows.
This is the portable version of Network Password Decryptor, meaning it does not require installation. Consequently, you can copy the program files to any location on the hard disk, in order to easily run the app from there, by simply clicking on the executable.
In addition to that, it is possible to use it on any computer you have access to, by dropping the last mentioned files to a portable storage unit, such as a USB flash drive.
It is also important to keep in mind that the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to get updated with new entries.
The interface is straightforward, displaying all the options available and enabling any type of person to make use of this software tool, regardless of their previous experience with computers.
All you need to do in order to begin the retrieval process is press the "Start Recovery" button. In a matter of seconds, Network Password Decryptor Portable is going to show you all the detected passwords in a list, along with details such as network name, type, username, password and last modified date.
Passwords can be saved to the Clipboard, or you can simply export the entire list to a custom location on the hard drive, in an XML, HTML or TXT format.
To sum up, Network Password Decryptor Portable is a piece of software which can come in handy when trying to retrieve forgotten passkeys. It does not put a strain on your computer's performance, as the CPU and memory usage is minimal, and response time is good.

HHS Puts Doctor Snoop Plan on the Back-Burner
**Written by Doug Powers
On Monday we talked about the HHS plan to employ "mystery shoppers" to pose as patients looking for primary care doctors to help determine which doctors turn away patients with government health plans that pay lower reimbursement rates. Somehow this was supposed to help solve a doctor shortage, because in DC, every day is "opposite day."
The plan has been put into hibernation. Why? Pretty much because too many people were paying attention:
The Obama administration will not move forward on a controversial proposal to have "secret shoppers" pose as patients to investigate how difficult it is for patients to receive primary care.
"On April 28th, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services submitted a notice to the Federal Register regarding a proposed study that would examine access to primary care," an HHS spokesman said in a statement. "After reviewing feedback received during the public comment period, we have determined that now is not the time to move forward with this research project. Instead, we will pursue other initiatives that build on our efforts to increase access to health care providers nationwide."
It'll be back before long.
And the water keeps searching for the cracks…

BMC Medicine 2014, 12:120 doi:10.1186/s12916-014-0120-7Published: 17 July 2014
Recent transcriptomic studies revived a hypothesis suggested by historical studies in rabbits that the ratio of peripheral blood monocytes to lymphocytes (ML) is associated with risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease. Recent data confirmed the hypothesis in cattle and in adults infected with HIV.
We tested this hypothesis in 1,336 infants (540 HIV-infected, 796 HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU)) prospectively followed in a randomized controlled trial of isoniazid prophylaxis in Southern Africa, the IMPAACT P1041 study. We modeled the relationship between ML ratio at enrollment (91 to 120 days after birth) and TB disease or death in HIV-infected children and latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, TB disease or death in HEU children within 96 weeks (with 12 week window) of randomization. Infants were followed-up prospectively and routinely assessed for MTB exposure and outcomes. Cox proportional hazards models allowing for non-linear associations were used; in all cases linear models were the most parsimonious.
Increasing ML ratio at baseline was significantly associated with TB disease/death within two years (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.17 per unit increase in ML ratio; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01 to 1.34; P = 0.03). Neither monocyte count nor lymphocyte counts alone were associated with TB disease. The association was not statistically dissimilar between HIV infected and HEU children. Baseline ML ratio was associated with composite endpoints of TB disease and death and/or TB infection. It was strongest when restricted to probable and definite TB disease (HR 1.50; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.89; P = 0.006). Therefore, per 0.1 unit increase in the ML ratio at three to four months of age, the hazard of probable or definite TB disease before two years was increased by roughly 4% (95% CI 1.7% to 6.6%).
Elevated ML ratio at three- to four-months old is associated with increased hazards of TB disease before two years among children in Southern Africa. While significant, the modest effect size suggests that the ML ratio plays a modest role in predicting TB disease-free survival; its utility may, therefore, be limited to combination with existing tools to stratify TB risk, or to inform underlying pathophysiologic determinants of TB disease.

The 2011 NFL season hasn't ended yet, but there are clearly five NFL head coaches which are squarely on the hot seat for 2012, before the season even starts. Several of the coaches on this list were rumored to be on their way out this season, but for whatever reason, have been granted a reprieve for the 2012 season with the expectations of win now, or else.
San Diego Chargers, Norv Turner– The San Diego Chargers fan base is livid this morning as it was announced yesterday by the team's owner that head coach Norv Turner along with general manager A.J. Smith would return for one more year. Turner has two years remaining on his contract, Smith has three. Turner will be a lame duck head coach after the 2012 season and nothing short of a deep push into the playoffs will save his job after 2012 despite how the players feel about him.
Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid– Throwing a verbal shot across Andy Reid's bow yesterday, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie dressed down Andy Reid. Lurie called the team's 4-game win streak at the end of the season, "fools gold". Lurie called 2011 the most disappointing season in his ownership career. Reid gets another chance in 2012, there can be no excuses after 2012 for Reid.
New York Jets, Rex Ryan– Yes, Ryan has guided the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship games but he missed the playoffs this season, undergoing two three-game losing streaks in 2011. QB Mark Sanchez regressed this season and the Jets finished the season in an ugly fashion. Ryan predicts his team will reach the Super Bowl every year, at some point the Jets ownership is going to want a little less talk and a lot more action.
Washington Redskins, Mike Shanahan– Shanahan has mustered just 11 wins in two seasons with the Redskins. After starting the season 3-1, the Redskins managed just two wins in their final 12 games. There was no stability at the quarterback or running back position for most of the season. The offense lacked legitimate playmakers. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has shown unusual restraint with Shanahan and 2012 will likely be his last chance to get things turned around with the Redskins.
Buffalo Bills, Chan Gailey– Gailey is heading into his third season with the Bills, winning just 10 games in the last two seasons. Gailey led the Bills to a 5-2 start of the 2011 regular season, but injuries took their tool down the stretch and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick cooled off in the second half of the season. Another season with double digit losses will likely show Gailey the door in Buffalo.

Norv Turner dodged a bullet this year. He's definitely gone if things don't turn around next year. Linked this at my site http://www.thepowerwire.com
