Eastern playoff links
The first thing I did this morning was look out the window - no snow on the South Hill since Friday evening.

Kupp named first-team All-American
It's been a freshman year to remember for Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
Just two days after winning the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Kupp was named to The Sports Network All-America first team on Wednesday.
Eastern and Big Sky links
I learned a lot about Vernon Adams and Cooper Kupp this week, mostly that they really mean it when they say that individual honors come after team. On Tuesday before practice, I spoke with Adams about his second-place finish in the Walter Payton Award balloting, and reminded him that as a sophomore, he would have two more chances.
That's right, he said. "I still have two more chances. If we win these next two games, we'll be national champs." Wow.

Another year, another big award for Eastern Washington football. On Monday night, wide receiver Cooper Kupp took center stage by winning the Jerry Rice Award for top FCS freshman, while quarterback Vernon Adams finished second in the Walter Payton Award balloting.

I recently started seeing somebody about a month ago. Almost instantly we really vibed and got along EXTREMELY well. We got very close in the matter of two weeks... we let each other in pretty deep. She's confided quite a bit about herself to me, things she hasn't discussed with many people she's... Show More
Most Helpful Girl
I'm going to give you a different perspective; although I can see your text as being harmless and funny, I can also see her taking it to the next level of feeling like she's "not in control".
I've been in the same situation as her; I had so much on my plate with work, school, and here comes this really great guy...unfortunately, that meant "more stress" (good or bad, either way, just another "stressor" in life).
I've also been on the other end where I texted a guy after having made arrangements that he would come over after he got off work. I texted "You better call, haha". I mean, I was just joking (!) and I'm kind of sassy anyways but he took it the wrong way...sometimes texts don't always translate well until you really, really know the other person. Now, from my text, can you see how someone could see that as a "command" (like yours) and feel turned off?
So, on one hand, she really does need to "lighten up" but on the other, she may need the space/time to realize that having you in her life will be more a positive aspect than just "one more thing" on her plate.
And, I'm pretty sure she thinks of you, too. People don't often forget the ones they can confide things to. If you want, maybe send her some flowers to brighten her day (?).
I see where you're coming from, and that's why I felt I may have offended when I read it after I sent it. I was told by a friend we both know very well that she over-reacted on purpose as a reason to be mad and step back... using the whole "being angry" to justify her actions of backing off. Its not what she told the friend, its just what the friend felt was happening, and it makes sense.
- Show Older Hide Older
Actually she saw me online a little while ago and we chatted for a bit... told her I was thinkin about comin up and having a couple, and she gave me the smiley face... I even offered to bring her something to eat and she said if she's hungry shed love for me to do so... so no worries lol...
You never know when you're walking on egg shells heh...
True (eggshell part) but at some point, she'll need to step up, too, and realize there's room for improvement/growth. Have fun!

A decade after the ban expired, gun control groups say that focusing on other policies will save more American lives.
Monte Wolverton, Cagle Cartoons —
AP/Charles Krupa
In the wake of Monday's deadly Boston Marathon bombings, should we urge the Senate to proceed with the gun control debate as scheduled? Or should we condemn both chambers of Congress and the president for doing too little, too late to deal with the problem of mass violence and what some have termed the nation's culture of death?

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Truthdig's editor-in-chief weighed in on gun control laws, the powerful weapons lobby and the possible renewal of the assault weapons ban during an extended interview on "The Sunday Show with Philip Maldari."
Some Democrats have publicly advocated for tighter gun control laws in the aftermath of Friday's shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and eight adults dead. But according to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, the way to prevent such massacres from happening is to have more Americans carry firearms.

James Holmes, the alleged shooter in the massacre in Aurora, Colo., reportedly amassed his huge arsenal with relative ease. Some of these weapons were illegal as recently as eight years ago.
"My administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners," the president boasted, "it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and wildlife refuges."
The Glock 19 semiautomatic pistol that Jared Loughner is accused of using in his rampage in Tucson, Ariz., is, according to Glock's website, "ideal for versatile use through reduced dimensions" and is "suitable for concealed carry."

McNamara's Irish Pub Veliko Tarnovo: Best place to start the night
This Irish style bar is the best place to start the night. It is expat friendly and has a mix of backpackers, expats and locals. There is free wifi as well. The pub is friendly so you should be able to meet other people and get travel tips for Bulgaria from the staff. Awesome!
Dress Code: Anything
- Food and Dining
- Beer Tasting
- Backpacking
Melody bar: Chill out, cool place
Melody bar is just off the main street down a side street and is cool funky bar to chill out in, it has good funky chill house music with a tv screen and dim lighting
it has cheap beer and has a cocktail menu and nice peanuts!!! - 25 lev for 3 drinks for 2 people and 2 lots of nuts (3.20lev for a bulgarian measure of drk rum)
cool place and nice atmosphere
City Pub: A Proper Pub!
The City Pub proclaims itself as an Irish bar, although the theming is quite subtle. The decor, with its musical instruments, route 66 memorabilia, gold and platinum discs by big-name rock bands, and the multi-national drinks signage, is more "Hard Rock Cafe" than anything I've ever come across in my Irish travels. Not only that but I didn't see anyone actually ordering Guinness and the main beer sign above the bar is for Heineken.
What it misses in its attempted "Irishness" however is definitely not to its disadvantage and instead I found it to be as close to a proper pub as I've found in Bulgaria.
This is the sort of place where you can just drop in for half-a-dozen beers, sitting at the bar (yes it has bar stools - all along and in constant use), and not attract the sort of funny looks I've gotten elsewhere. It does do food with an International pubby theme and a few potato dishes to continue the Irish bit but I was more interested in having a few beers and so didn't read the menu. As well as the aforementioned Heineken there are a selection of other lagers both domestic and imported and the prices are surprisingly reasonable with Zagorka at (if I remember correctly) 1.60 leva.
Clientele tends to be a bit studenty (and so plenty of pretty girls) and the place has a pleasant buzz. Service is swift and friendly whilst the backgrouund music (which maybe from a juke box) is once again more "Hard Rock Cafe" than Irish but not overloud.
- Beer Tasting
- Food and Dining
- Music
Situated along the Stefan Stambolov this is the place to be. Many sorts of vodka, good beer and lots of crazy people. The athmoshere is relaxed, the interior is cozy and the staff is fast. I mostly started the night here.
Dress Code: casual
Clubs and bars
I only visited the old town because I wanted a few quiet days to relax and didn't go to any club but on my exploration of the town I saw a few trendy clubs so you have from where to choose. If you want more, go to the new part of town.
Zodiac Karaoke: a near universial activity!
After drinking homemade wine and whiskey at dinner, I decided that karaoke would be the perfect way to end a lovely evening. Oh, maybe lovely isn't the right word, but it can be hard not to have fun at karaoke, even when you haven't a clue what they're singing.
We were told in what direction to head, and we found the place. It was in a basement, made of stone, and the joint was jumpin'. As I've learned from my travels, karaoke takes many forums, a Velinko Tarnovo karoake seems to be taking the microphone and singing from your seat, or roaming around the dancefloor. And, then, if you want, passing it on. Although there's a screen, there are no words. There is no KJ (karaoke DJ) announcing who is the next one up, and what they're singing. People just sing. And, they just dance. In this case, some dancing on the tables. And, of course, they drink.
Very fun. Very exhausting. Very hangover inducing.

"Dublin" Irish Bar: Busy Student Bar
Based loosely on the worn theme of Irish Bar this is nonetheless a great place for people watching during the day as the bar has large window facing onto the main square. It has local Bulgarian beers on tap for 0.5 litres or a "pint" as we say in Ireland costing about $0.60.
Some of the staff spoke English and were very helpful in explaining the menu to me. They serve typical pub food after 5pm each night. It gets pretty busy here in the evening and it has a good atmosphere.
Although those looking for a tradition Irish Pub with an Irish owner, well you won't find it here. Also most of the pictures on the wall were of central London "strange" not Ireland.
Dress Code: No dress code

Bar Ulitsata: Bar Ulitsata
This is without any doubt the best bar in town, which plays a mix of metal and rock music. The beer is good and cheap (don't forget to drink the ever-tasty local Boilarka beer) and the folks are friendly!!

I booked the flights to Amsterdam but then panicked when looking at which hotels to stay in. All the reviews for the budget hotels mentioned dirty rooms- which is an absolute no no for me. I am so thankful we found Hotel Acro. It is a budget hotel so is very basic. The rooms are very small- smallest I have seen. However the plan for this trip was to be out and about- not staying in our room, hence the budget hotel. The stairs are very steep but this is common in Amsterdam. The main thing for me was the room was clean. The room had all we needed. The staff were very helpful and on arrival they gave us a map which was used all weekend. The hotel is in a good location- the tram system in Amsterdam is fantastic but you can walk everywhere too from the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Acro hotel has 65 rooms, all with shower, toilet, TV, hairdryer and free wireless Internet. Centrally located in the Museum district with the Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum & Stedelijk Museum just around the corner. Within walking distance of all major tourist attractions like the Leidsplein (Leidsesquare) with its many bars and restaurants, the Holland casino and the famous P.C. Hoofstraat with its top designer shops. The Albert Cuyp open air market is less than 10 minutes walk. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Orbitz, Priceline, Odigeo, EasyToBook and Low Cost Holidays so you can book your TRYP by Wyndham Poet Amsterdam reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

In DepthWireless multi-room audio is radically increasing in popularity, but with it comes a problem – how to get the audio in sync over a Wi-Fi network.
CES 2014You'll now be able to pump a wide range of third-party services through multiple speakers.
They said it couldn't be done: AirPlay, Lightning and 30-pin connectors together in one speaker
What do you get when you cross a compact, portable speaker with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and multi-room? A strangely hobbled listening experience, sadly.
While the Contour 200i Air is ostensibly the big brother of the Contour 100Di, there's not quite as much family resemblance as you might expect.
News in BriefGiven a relatively level playing field, who would win in a fight between a laser shark and a bear with a lightsaber?

Understanding Tires
There is a lot of information on the sidewall of a tire. Typically, you'll find UTQG ratings for treadwear, traction and temperature, the size of the tire, the load rating index number with a speed rating index, the construction type (bias or radial), the D.O.T. compliance code, and construction details. On some tires used as original equipment, you may also find a marking that indicates its OE status.

About the ManufacturerMore than 25 years ago, Henk van den Berg built his own go-kart in the barn of his parents' farm. He and his friends had one adventure after the other. Many children loved his go-kart and wanted one for themselves. So he built a couple more and that's how BERG Toys started.

Great kart and great exercise! Matt from Westfield, IN on 10/13/2014 – Verified Buyer
The BERG karts are all pretty great, but the JEEP Adventure Go Kart seemed to the best fit and frame weight for my younger boys and our suburban terrain. The karts are well constructed and the BFR Hub system is a real win for younger riders who really benefit from having the coaster brake and 'pedal back' brake (and reverse gear as needed). The karts are really maneuverable and just fast enough to be safe yet a lot fun (sitting low to the ground makes the rider feel like things are faster). I bought two and my boys have been non-stop racing and chasing... and the amount of exercise they are getting is such a benefit over a battery-powered ride-on that is in the same general price range. Pros: Well constructed, smooth ride, speedy gear ratio, tight turning radius, light-frame for younger riders, adjustable steering and seating as riders grow, great exercise and fun. Cons: Price (but you get what you pay for usually), the Adventure Series seemed to only come in green and JEEP theme

This is a guest post by Public Knowledge Vice President Michael Weinberg Mashups are one of the great art forms of our time.
Although remixes, mashups, sampling, and collage predate the internet by decades (if not centuries), easy, accessible digital tools have allowed anyone to remix videos, music, and photographs into their own original works. Mashup culture has produced fantastic music , critical video, and delightful cultural artifacts of all kinds. However, for all of its successes, mashups are ultimately limited by the nature of their source material. The types of things that mashups draw from – videos, music, photos – are also the types of things that are protected by copyright. 20 Best Websites To Download Free EBooks.

Swedish prosecutors filed charges on 31 January 2008 against Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, and Peter Sunde, who ran the site; and Carl Lundström, a Swedish businessman who through his businesses sold services to the site.
The prosecutor claimed the four worked together to administer, host, and develop the site and thereby facilitated other people's breach of copyright law. Some 34 cases of copyright infringements were originally listed, of which 21 were related to music files, 9 to movies, and 4 to games. One case involving music files was later dropped by the copyright holder who made the file available again on the website of The Pirate Bay. In addition, claims for damages of 117 million kronor (US$13 million) were filed.[4] The case was decided jointly by a professional judge and three appointed lay judges.[5] The trial started on 16 February 2009 in the district court (tingsrätt) of Stockholm, Sweden.

Really a Great Colour!
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
This fits true to size for me (plus size), and I bought it in the red. It's a great colour for me, and with Christmas coming soon it will get a lot of wear! I gave it 4 stars because I find the turtleneck fairly long for me, so I tend to just fold it over an extra time, but someone else might find it just perfect for themselves. I also find it just a teensy bit itchy feeling on my neck, but not so much as to put me off from wearing it. I would definitely buy another one if it came in my size, which is sold out right now.

Sure Spock was plenty emotional in TOS. All that had to happen was Kirk get in danger or be angry with him. But it was more subtle over 79 episodes and so much more rewarding when you got to see it.
Sometimes when you see nuTrek Spock you just think its just inevitable he's going to go ballistic at some point. You never thought that about Nimoy Spock (except in Amok Time, This Side of Paradise, The Naked Time, Mirror Mirror - well OK quite a few times LOL)
Again, though, unique situation here. Nimoy's Spock never had to deal with the annihilation of his people, the obliteration of his home planet, or the death of his mother when he was much younger. All of this happened at once for Spock, and I think in the movies he's still sorting it all out.
While I understand the reasons why nuSpock is more emotional than TOS Spock, it's not something I really care for. Same thing with nuKirk having no father thus being even more rebellious and such when he was younger. I don't care for any of that. I'd like to see Kirk and Spock as they were in their prime because I find that dynamic much more interesting and rewarding. After two films in a row, it would be refreshing to see Pine and Quinto playing the characters at their peak. There might not be a lot of films left for this cast (at this rate, a hypothetical sixth movie would be released in 2025, unless the cast loves Trek that much and wants to keep making more beyond a fourth film, I can't see that happen), so I'd like it for these movies to get past the growing pains for these characters instead of holding onto the frat boy Kirk and emo Spock.

Uptown is the new downtown in this week's issue of Time Out New York
Forget everything you thought you knew about life above 59th Street
Wed Jun 18 2014
CommentsAdd +
There was a time when the center of cool existed exclusively below 14th. But now downtown is a sea of banks and chain restaurants, and everything awesome has moved north—or maybe it was there all along. In this week's issue of Time Out New York, we feature original artwork by graffiti legend (and lifelong Upper West Sider) George "SEN One" Morillo, commissioned especially for the magazine, and give you an easy map of everywhere you need to be uptown, in case you're worried about getting lost in this new land of possibilities.
Also in this issue, we're celebrating the arrival of summer with a rundown of the best daytime parties around the city, including a guide to day-drinking—because it's trickier than it looks.
Plus, new twists on surf 'n' turf around the city, an interview with Swedish electropop band Little Dragon, and a primer on what to expect at this weekend's Mermaid Parade. (Answer: Lots and lots of boobs.)

Eggers to run for county commission
Article published on
Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014
Dave Eggers
DUNEDIN Mayor Dave Eggers, 56, said Feb. 25 that he has filed paperwork to become a candidate for Pinellas County Commission, District 4.
Eggers, a Republican, joins 10 other candidates that have announced they are making a bid for the seat currently held by Commissioner Susan Latvala, who announced Jan. 28 that she is not seeking re-election in November.
A lot of reasons people run for a county commission seat are the same as those they have for running for city offices, Eggers said, noting that he has served for about 12 years as commissioner or mayor in Dunedin.
My motivation is that I think its the right time for me, and I certainly feel that I can bring a fresh perspective to county government, to the team and to the residents Ill be serving, he said, with a little experience thrown in.
He said he also has served on the county Metropolitan Planning Organization and Pinellas Planning Commission for a number of years.
Ive had a lot of exposure working with other communities on these boards. There are countywide issues that come up in those groups, and so I feel like Im prepared for that. Theres an awful lot going on at the county level, a lot of exciting things coming up. You feel that fresh perspective will be a good one and will bring a real strong city presence to the board, Eggers said.
Eggers was elected mayor in 2009 and re-elected in November 2012 for a four-year term. He previously served on the Dunedin City Commission for two three-year terms.
Eggers has 29 years of experience in real estate, including marketing owners properties and finding new space for corporations. He owns Centerpointe Realty and has lived in Dunedin for about 25 years.
He graduated from Duke University with a bachelors degree in engineering in 1979 and from the University of Pittsburgh with a masters degree in business administration in 1982.
Eggers is married and has two children.

They're not real Buckeye fans.

Mr. Hero the Parmesan Cheesesteak. I know they're in ever city but still tho!
Butt especially
That smash mouth football they play is something we got a dose of this weekend. We're gonna have to play that style a whole lot tougher over the course of the season for the teams we have up ahead.
Lol I UV'ed you but didn't mean to guess I can't take it back. Northwestern has better wins than USC and deserve to be ranked higher. Duke and Stanford are better wins than Idaho, Ark State, Arizona, and a Stanford lose.
They get their beef from South of The Border
A let me get one of them News Stank Wrap Supremes
Lol it's just the national thing. People talk about how we have a weak schedule and how the B10 is weak so a strong OOC win for the B10 would look good. Obviously they could lose all of their conference games and i'm cool but I want to end the Weak B10 conversation regardless of the rivalry. Minnesota pushed TCU to the brink and get no respect things like that kind of bug me.
Honestly I was hoping BYU would have beaten UCLA last week. Then a part of me would have pulled for TUN but since they lost I'm kind of indifferent.
Hey guys keep a look out for my post next. It's a three part thesis on "What's wrong with the offense and how to fix it"
Calm down
Uncle Luke and The 2 Live Crew getting it done.
This situation looks a lot like Troy Smith and Justin Zwick (albeit Cardale and JT are both very good) before this team can reach it's full potential a decision has to be made. If for nothing else for continuities sake.
Maybe Coach Meyer should ask Coach Tress his opinion on the QB situation.
I think Minnesota's the #3 team.
I really hope the Buckeyes don't tune into ESPN and take this easy schedule crap talk seriously. Every team Ohio State plays this year will bring it. There are ZERO easy games. The Fighting Bielema's proved that this weekend when they paid The Toledo Rockets 1 million dollars to come down and punch them in the mouth.
Bret was worried about the wrong Ohio Team!
And people think we had it rough.
Man that was a good game
It's the SEC Pawwwwwl

That magical date is now five days away. Can't you smell the hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jack already?
With spring training right around the corner -- pitchers and catchers begin reporting for work Wednesday -- it's only natural that the big news of the past week was mostly in the health department, and almost entirely involved pitchers. One recovering pitcher inked a contract, while we received word on the rehabilitation of two other notable fantasy names.
First, the recent signee: The Seattle Mariners signed friend-of-the-disabled-list Erik Bedard to a one-year, $1.5 million contract on Feb. 6, including incentives that might make it worth up to $8.5 million, as well as an $8 million option for 2011. That gives the team another ace-caliber (when healthy) starter to add to its stable, which already included Felix Hernandez and Cliff Lee; in the best-case scenario, that could mean one tough one-two-three punch if this team can make the playoffs.
Assuming Bedard will remain healthy enough to be available come October, however, might be a small leap, considering his track record. He has seven career DL stints on his résumé in the past seven seasons, had surgery to repair a torn labrum on Aug. 14, previously had his labrum operated upon in 2008 and as a result is a virtual lock to reside on the DL come Opening Day. At the time of his surgery Bedard was scheduled to need 10 (that'd be June) to 12 (that'd be August) months' recovery time, but according to the left-hander, his surgeon, Dr. Lewis Yocum, provided an eight- to nine-month timetable -- meaning April or May. Fantasy owners should prepare as if this is a pitcher who might appear for only the final four months of the 2010 season, and even then he's no guarantee to stay healthy.
In terms of performance, however, Bedard presents a lot to like for fantasy owners, especially those in AL-only leagues or with deep benches/DL spots to stash him. In 30 starts for the Mariners the past two seasons, Bedard had a 3.24 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 8.89 strikeouts per nine innings. The Mariners also sport one of the game's strongest defenses and have improved their team's competitive level during the winter, meaning wins might come more easily to him. Don't forget about Bedard in your draft, but understand he's also one of the riskiest pitchers around.
Brandon Webb throws off a mound: Significant news, this is, as Webb is only two years removed from a 22-win season, was a top-two finisher in the Cy Young voting each year from 2006 to 2008 yet made a single appearance in 2009 before eventually succumbing to shoulder surgery on Aug. 4. But on Tuesday, Webb threw off a mound for the first time since the operation, and reported no issues after throwing 20-25 pitches.
"[It] went good," Webb told the Arizona Diamondbacks' official Web site. "[The] ball came out well, but I was just thinking about arm slot on every throw. That's to be expected, not having thrown on the mound in so long."
Webb will throw off a mound again in the next few days before reporting to Diamondbacks camp, ahead of the team's reporting date of Feb. 19. He'll be a critical name to track throughout spring training, but at the onset of camp, all indications are that he'll get every chance to bounce back close to his former self -- which was a clear top-10 fantasy starting pitcher.
(For more on Brandon Webb's potential in 2010, check out the KaraBlog.)
Brandon Lyon admits to shoulder surgery: In a bit of a bombshell, the Houston Astros admitted Wednesday that Lyon, who recently signed a three-year, $15-million contract to take over as the team's closer, had surgery two weeks ago to drain a small cyst in his pitching shoulder. The team reported that he has been throwing without discomfort since the operation, and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next week.
Don't change your draft-day pricing of Lyon just yet, but it's worth checking back in on him once camps open, as he already was a closer who presented several risks. Most notably, he had the second-lowest BABIP (.229) of any pitcher in baseball with at least 70 innings in 2009, 76 points beneath his career mark in the category. He also walked a career-high 3.55 batters per nine innings, meaning some regression from his 2.86 ERA and 1.11 WHIP need be expected. Lyon, if healthy, will presumably be drafted as a low-second-tier closer in mixed leagues, but the more risk factors he takes on, the weaker a pick he'll be even at that level.
What else has been in the news the past week?
New York Mets lower Citi Field fences: Those very words might have fantasy owners salivating over the prospect that the Mets' new home ballpark, one of the most cavernous in baseball during its inaugural season of 2009, might suddenly become a more hitter-friendly venue. Let's not leap to conclusions, OK? According to the team's plan, the height of Citi Field's center-field wall will be lowered from 16 feet to 8 feet, and even the most casual baseball fan recognizes that the toughest place in any ballpark in which to hit a home run, naturally, is to center field. Lowering the fences in that specific area merely means it'll require less of a moon shot to clear the wall at the ballpark's deepest point. The dimensions of Citi Field, meanwhile, will remain exactly as they were in 2009: spacious.
Another point: According to HitTrackerOnline.com data, only 10 home runs were hit to that area of Citi Field's center field in 2009, out of 130 total. To say that the difference will be minimal is fair, especially in light of the fact that, as Rob Neyer points out, it'll be easier for fielders to steal home runs away with shorter fences anyway.
(For more on the fantasy impact of the Citi Field changes, check out the KaraBlog.)
Mets also sign Mike Jacobs and Hisanori Takahashi: It was a busy week for the men in blue and orange, apparently, though mostly in minor moves. Both of these guys signed minor league deals with invitations to spring training, though they'll each get a long look for a roster spot. Takahashi probably stands a better chance at making the Opening Day roster, as a left-handed relief hopeful who registered sub-3 ERAs in two of the past three years in Japan (3.80 career). Consistency has not been his friend, however: He has ERAs north of 4 in four of the past six years, and scouts point out he is hardly overpowering and instead relies on command and changing the speed of his pitches. That's the kind of pitcher who sounds like a fringe NL-only pick at best, albeit one whose progress should be tracked in March. Remember, the Mets weren't the healthiest of teams last season, so a handful of starts might be possible for Takahashi.
Jacobs, meanwhile, will battle Daniel Murphy for at-bats at first base, though the Mets have maintained that Murphy is their projected Opening Day starter there. Considering Jacobs' tendency to strike out (once every 4.36 at-bats in his career), his complete inability to hit left-handers (.221/.269/.374 career BA/OBP/SLG) and his poor defensive reputation, he might be a glorified pinch hitter on a team like the Mets. Accounting for the fact that power is his most useful fantasy asset and that's usually deflated by Citi Field, he'd need to do a lot during spring training to even warrant the attention of NL-only owners.
New York Yankees sign Marcus Thames: Like the aforementioned two, Thames inked a minor league deal with a spring invite, but he might be more likely than either Met to reside on the Yankees' Opening Day roster. He's a smart fit in an outfield that leans excessively left-handed -- the other projected four on the roster, Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher, Randy Winn and Brett Gardner, combined to bat .208/.298/.320 versus left-handers last season. Thames, by comparison, managed .257/.347/.457 numbers against southpaws in 2009, and has .256/.329/.516 career rates against them, meaning that while he'll have to earn his way onto the team, if he does, there might yet be some matchups value in his bat.
San Diego Padres sign Yorvit Torrealba: Bad news for Dusty Ryan and, for that matter, Nick Hundley, as Torrealba's addition makes it likely the Padres will go with a near-split of the catching chores between the young Hundley and the experienced Torrealba. Fantasy owners won't be pleased; fewer at-bats means fewer counting numbers for Hundley, and counting numbers are really his primary contribution for our purposes. Don't get the idea Torrealba is an advised NL-only pick, either. He was a .246/.306/.370 hitter in his road games during his Colorado Rockies career, and he's a .156/.198/.234 hitter in 22 career contests at Petco Park. A significant tumble from his .291 batting average is probable.
Los Angeles Dodgers sign Brian Giles: Formerly an attractive fantasy outfielder, Giles saw his numbers tank last season, and he had a hard time staying healthy. We'll forgive him, being that he's now 39 years old, but that doesn't mean we'd recommend him as a viable fantasy choice in 2010. Giles will be in the mix for a reserve outfield job with the Dodgers during spring training, but the best-case scenario has him probably serving as their primary pinch hitter, a la Jim Thome late last year or Mark Sweeney in 2007-08. If you found any value in either of those guys as Dodgers, feel free to draft Giles. I know I won't.

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize Arthur and George grow up worlds apart in late nineteenth-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of a small Staffordshire village. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age, while George remains in hard-working obscurity. But as the new century begins, they are brought together by a sequence of events that made sensational headlines at the time as The Great Wyrley Outrages. This is a novel about low crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race. Most of all it is a profound and moving meditation on the fateful differences between what we believe, what we know and what we can prove.

Intrepid City College Staffers Record Dust Bowl Refugees for WNYC Documentary
Friday, June 10, 2011
Robert Sonkin and Charles Todd were working at the City College Department of Public Speaking when they decided to spend their summer vacations in 1940 and '41 at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) camps of central California. With the help of Alan Lomax, their project was underwritten by the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress. Carrying a "portable" 50-pound Presto disc cutter, they recorded cowboy songs, traditional ballads, square dance calls, camp council meetings, storytelling sessions and the personal experiences of the Dust Bowl refugees who lived in the camps. Drawing from more than 200 field recordings, the folklorists produced the above documentary for WNYC in 1942, one of three in a broadcast series called Songs of the Okies.
David Randolph: The Father of Weekly Thematic Music Programming
Friday, June 03, 2011
On July 2, 1946, David Randolph began a series of weekly broadcasts on WNYC called Music for the Connoisseur, later known as The David Randolph Concert.*
On his fourth broadcast, he surveyed the subject of humor in music. With that, David pioneered the thematic radio broadcast devoted to a single musical subject with commentary. Above, you can listen to the full broadcast of "Composers' Senses of Humor," David's 375th show that aired in June, 1954.
The programs were later syndicated nationally on the 72-station network of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB). The broadcasts garnered four Ohio State University Awards as "the best programs of music and commentary in the nation," and aired for 33 years. They also resulted in invitations from 23 publishers to write a book, and This Is Music: A Guide to the Pleasures of Listening was published by McGraw-Hill in 1964. It was described by the New York Times as "one of the best of the year."

A 1926 Edition of Soundcheck: The Flanagan Brothers
Friday, May 06, 2011
The Flanagan Brothers were the most popular group of Irish entertainers in New York City between the early 1920's and the late 1930's. Joe, Mike and Louis (who is not pictured here and played harp guitar) were born in Waterford City, Ireland in the 1890's and emigrated to the United States with their parents at the turn of the century. They settled in Albany, New York. The brothers, all self-taught, played at concerts, dances, bars, clubs, and on WNYC. They recorded 160 songs for several labels and their discs sold well across the U.S, Britain and Ireland. Many have since been reissued in anthology collections. Here is an original version of the Kerry Mills Barndance courtesy of the Irish Traditional Music Archive.
