Goldsby man drops roping to win world titles by flipping discs to dog
And it also helps to have a partner who brings serious skills to the table. Gracie has been a quick study over the years, and her athletic ability is unsurpassed.
"She's extremely focused and very athletic," he said. "She's like a mini Michael Jordan."
Competitions usually consist of two rounds of freestyle where Gracie and Fairchild perform a series of tricks, but all tricks have to begin and end with a disc in flight. There is also one minute of toss and catch. In that event Fairchild throws the disc in an area about half the size of a football field. If Gracie and Fairchild don't connect, points are deducted.
"There's a lot of precision to it," he said. "You can't be off by much. If you are, things just sort of fall apart."
While Fairchild was a quick study to the sport, achieving what some take decades to do, he still finds value in the simplest things about it.
"I've always been a pretty competitive person but the real reason I do it is to have fun with my dogs and meet people and establish friendships," he said. "I didn't get good at it until 2005, but I had a whole lot of fun before then."

x360a Review - Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Written Monday, March 10, 2008 By Geoff WhiteView author's profile
When we first heard about Turning Point, the game sounded like a winner. Whilst it was still going to be a take on a WWII game, it was certainly going where no game had gone before with its storyline. When the first screenshots came out, followed by the trailer, all was still looking good.
Then came the demo, and this changed a lot of peoples minds. Unfortunately for the developers, not in the right direction. They promised an overhaul, but have they managed to turn the game around, or will all the sore points from the demo still be in the full release? Read the x360a review to find out.

Here's an easy way to put a modern patchwork twist on simple quilt squares: insert a decorative strip of fabric.
Few quilting artists have all the time they want for creating fiber art & quilts. But accomplishing more--while still enjoying it and doing a good job--is often a matter of efficiency rather than speed.
Most quilt artists have a good eye for color, pattern, and what goes together. If they didn't, they probably wouldn't be quilting. But when deciding how to make a patchwork quilt design, your fabric choices can make a big difference in how the overall design looks.
Many quilters who use appliqué, patchwork patterns, or repeated motifs in their art swear by die-cut machines. The machines can save time, make cutting easier on the hands and back (no endless hours with the rotary cutter and mat), and improve accuracy.
Scraps, scraps, scraps! If you create fiber art, fabric scraps are a way of life. Too pretty (or expensive) to throw away, too many to keep contained. They must be good for something!
I left my heart in Austin...QuiltCon, the show put on by The Modern Quilt Guild (MQG), might be smaller in number of attendees and the amount of quilts on display than some of the larger shows
Welcome to another Block Friday, our December alternative to Black Friday where we feature a quilt block. Today it's a nine-patch--PLUS!
Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
I'm jumping on the Throwback Thursday bandwagon (#tbt) and posting this image of me with a patchwork quilt I made many years ago. It was the second quilt I'd ever made, a wedding gift for a friend.
"Solids and nearly solids play such a big role in contemporary quilting, and especially in improv piecing. But many people find it hard to choose dynamic color combinations when they don't have a place to start," writes modern quilt artist Christine Ravish in the Summer 2014 issue of Modern Patchwork magazine.
Many of us cherish the heirloom block quilts handed down to us--or even the ones we discover at flea markets and thrift shops. But when it comes to our own quilting, we like a more contemporary style.
I know quilters who enjoy piecing quilts and quilters who enjoy free-motion stitching quilts. But I don't know too many whose favorite part of quilting is cutting the fabric--especially if they're preparing to make a large patchwork quilt. Cutting takes a long time and it can be back-breaking work.
Kevin Kosbab, of Feed Dog Designs, is one of a small but extremely
talented group of male quilters in the female-dominated world of fiber
art. Kevin has designed projects for our sister publication Stitch since the second issue and more recently his designs have been featured in Modern Patchwork magazine.
Here it is, the second week of January, and I still haven't settled on
my Word of the Year. You know, the mantra that you use to help you focus
on what you want to accomplish before the next time the ball drops.
What is modern quilting? There's no set definition. Typically, though, modern quilts have large fields of solid colors, take an improvisational approach to cutting and piecing, and highlight contemporary commercial fabrics.

Thanks all for the responses. I heard/read? that using the sodium metoborate predev wash addressed the issue of rapid oxidaton and that this step made using a rotary processor possible. I could be wrong.
But, I also am using alot of developer, 250ml for only 2 sheets. Also, I found this link of Ed's: http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Ti...200_grain.html
And I guess my neg's just slightly less contrasty than that one, but nearly the same density. Maybe Im just not used to the stain. But I'll go with Franks suggestion of a 10% reduction, so 12 1/2min tomorrow. And Frank, the Unicolor is the only drum I have now that'll do 4x5, so I'm just using what I have (same w the PMK Donald, next time I thought I'd try pyrocat hd.
Thanks again for the help!

This is just a suggestion and please don't be offended but, perhaps you should sell yourself as a lighting designer instead of a brand fixture salesman. Kichler has enough folks on the payroll doing just that already. Instead of listing every brand, model number, piece and part on your quote sheet, be simpler and more generic- I know my clients couldn't care less as long as they know they are getting a solid product- they are buying "ME". When you list brand and model numbers on your quote sheet you are opening yourself up to be shopped. When I sell, my clients rarely, (if ever ask me about brand), I just hand them a sample of what I will be using and am very general on my quote sheet. i.e...(8 spots, 7 mini wash, 4 path lights etc). This is a doctor patient relationship with your client- stop acting like a fixture peddler and they will stop treating you like one. There are doctors and there are pharmaceutical reps- which one are you going to be?
I hear you, here. I've often thought of this too. But there are some things in play here that are a little different.
For one, I think our clients, in the area we work in are really tech and consumer savvy. I have given bids similar to what you describe, where I didn't line-item each fixture and STILL had fairly wealthy people divide out the cost of the fixtures and come back to me with, "So I calculated this out and you're charging me $XXX.xx per fixture??? I went online and found XBrand fixtures for about $40 less than that. I feel like I'm kind of getting ripped off here." I have to be careful how I price things. We've just lost too many jobs from people who have done this.
Second, we're not a company who is trying to appeal to the top 4% of homeowners, who have $2mil homes. Sure, I like doing those jobs. But our company has always been a company who works for the top 25% or maybe even top 40%, depending on which service you're talking to. I cannot go to a good long term lawn care customer who has a nice, but modest, $380,000 home and say, "Hey. Don't worry about my high prices. I'm a 'Lighting Designer' and I'm worth it. Let me tell you why." In the end, they're still going to want to price me out and make sure they're getting a good deal.
We sell a lot to all sorts of income brackets. I don't have the luxury, as many in this forum do, of just appealing to the super high end customers. My customers vary from really high end down to fairly normal people. They are conscious of how every dime is spent. The whole reason I do break down my bids these days into an itemized fashion is not because I want to - but because the consumers we're working for often demand that kind of bid. So we just got used to doing it that way. To the consumer, it feels like you're being more fair to them if they can see what they're paying for every item. And as long as they can justify each item in their own head, they'll go ahead with the deal.
So I could just start going for only the high end customers who would probably buy my logic that we're a 'lighting designer' and be willing to pay more, but our volume would go way down. And I'd be alienating a lot of my other customers in the lawn care, landscaping, hardscaping, drainage, irrigation segments of my already existing business. I'm trying to cross-sell lighting to them as well as land the high end jobs. And we're doing all that very successfully. But I wouldn't be getting a lot of the work we do if I just marked up our product as much as I'd like to and just gave people a line about me being a 'lighting designer'. A lot of people would still just feel they're paying too much, once they checked on some pricing. But if I stay at the MAP pricing, I can still make a REALLY nice markup and still make a good profit and still land the volume of jobs that we land.
Anyway, I get what you're saying. I think that would work well if I had a lighting-only business. And we do use that approach to a degree, for sure. We're still more expensive in the lighting portion than most of our competitors. So I have to sell that to land jobs. But I also have the pressure of every 4th customer I give a bid to goes to the internet and sees what they're selling for on the internet. And if my price is a lot more, that customer feels like I'm gauging them. And I never know which client that will be. 3 out of 4 won't do that. But one of them will. And I don't want to lose that bid. I'd rather sell a product where I can mark it up a good portion and they can go to the internet all they want and not find it for less. Then they feel like our prices are competitive and we get the job! Works well for us.

LONDON — Bruce Springsteen's daughter has bought a gold medal-winning horse from the London Olympics with hopes of competing for the United States in showjumping at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Peter Charles rode Murka's Vindicat W in a jump-off to clinch the Olympic team title for Britain last month. He says the 10-year-old gelding has been sold to Jessica Springsteen.
Charles says on his Facebook page, "I wish Jessica the best of luck with him and I am sure he will make her proud, too."
The fee paid for the horse known as "Vinnie" wasn't disclosed.
The 20-year-old rock star's daughter, who missed the cut for the U.S. Olympic equestrian team for London, started riding at age 5.

Eric Stults Rumors
Minor Moves: P.J. Walters, Eric Stults, Todd Redmond
Here are today's minor moves from around the league…
- The Nationals announced today that they've acquired right-hander P.J. Walters from the Dodgers in exchange for cash considerations. Walters, 30, has had an interesting eight months or so. Initially signed to a minor league deal by the Phillies, Walters wound up pitching on the independent circuit to open the season before the Dodgers picked him up. He then worked to a 4.70 ERA in 23 innings with L.A.'s Triple-A affiliate before today's trade, which will send him to Triple-A Syracuse, where he'll serve as rotation depth for the Nats. Walters has 152 big league innings between the Cardinals, Twins and Blue Jays.
- Left-hander Eric Stults will accept an outright assignment to Double-A Tulsa and remain with the Dodgers' organization, reports Chris Cotillo of SB Nation (Twitter link). Stults was acquired from the Braves in last week's six-player Alberto Callaspo/Juan Uribe trade, and the Dodgers immediately designated him for assignment. Stults could have rejected a minor league assignment after clearing outright waivers and instead tested free agency. However, doing so would have meant forfeiting the $1.44MM or so remaining on his contract. He'll serve as a depth piece for the Dodgers, and it wouldn't be all that surprising to see him end up back on the big league club and take some turns in the rotation down the line.
- Cotillo also tweets that Blue Jays righty Todd Redmond has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo. Toronto designated Redmond for assignment for the second time this season last week. He, too, had the option to reject the outright assignment and look for employment with a new club, but the 30-year-old opted to remain with the Jays. Redmond was a nice bullpen piece for Toronto from 2013-14, totaling 152 innings of 3.79 ERA ball in a decisively hitter-friendly environment.

Braves, Dodgers Swap Callaspo, Uribe In Six-Player Deal; Dodgers Designate Stults
WEDNESDAY, 3:30pm: The deal is official, with both teams announcing it. Stults has been acquired and designated in one fell swoop, indicating that he was included in large part to offset Uribe's salary. With more than three but less than five years of service, Stults will have the right to elect free agency if he clears outright waivers, but would have to give up his guaranteed salary to do so.
On the Los Angeles side of the deal, only Callaspo will head to the club's active roster. Jaime will look to work into form at extended spring training, while Thomas will take a job at Triple-A.
2:55pm: The Braves paid Callaspo $100K to waive his no-trade rights, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link).
8:41am: Callaspo received a "stipend" as inducement to agree the trade, Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com tweets.
TUESDAY: Trade talks between the Dodgers and Braves regarding Alberto Callaspo and Juan Uribe fell apart Tuesday morning after Callaspo vetoed the transaction, but talks rekindled just hours later after Callaspo had a change of heart, and the two sides have reportedly reached a deal, pending approval from the commissioner's office. The Braves will acquire Uribe and right-hander Chris Withrow from the Dodgers in exchange for Callaspo, right-hander Juan Jaime and left-handers Ian Thomas and Eric Stults.
As a player that signed as a free agent just this offseason, Callaspo was ineligible to be traded prior to June 15 without his consent. After news of the revitalized deal broke, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweeted that Callaspo reconsidered after his initial decision to stay with a team that wanted him traded weighed on him further.
Though the Dodgers are surrendering talent to acquire him, it's worth wondering how long Callaspo will be retained by his new team. The Dodgers, earlier this season, were content to acquire Ryan Webb and release him almost immediately in order to acquire a Competitive Balance draft pick from the Orioles. The Dodgers may view this as a means of shedding a bit of payroll and unclogging their logjam at third base, though that's still purely speculative at this point.
The Dodgers have Alex Guerrero, Justin Turner, Hector Olivera and, eventually Corey Seager as potential in-house options at the hot corner, making both Uribe and Callaspo seem somewhat expendable. Callaspo has batted just .206/.293/.252 for the Braves this season, so his on-field production isn't necessarily something the Dodgers would view as an upgrade, even though he has a superior track record to that output. Callaspo is capable of handling multiple infield positions, but while that versatility is appealing, the same could be said of Turner, who has experience at more positions and superior numbers at the plate.
From the Braves' standpoint, the team likely views Uribe as an upgrade over Callaspo and, quite possibly, the injured Chris Johnson (who will be activated from the DL later this week). Uribe has posted consistently excellent defensive marks at third base over the past three seasons, and he batted .295/.334/.439 while playing half his games at the pitcher-friendly Dodger Stadium from 2013-14. He's off to a slow start in 2015 — .247/.287/.309 in 87 PAs — but he's also been slowed by a hamstring injury.
Financially speaking, the Braves are actually taking on some money in this deal, assuming there's none changing hands (and there has not been, to this point). Uribe is earning $6.5MM in 2015 — the final season of a three-year contract. That means he has about $4.69MM remaining on his contract, which is more than double the $2.16MM remaining on the one-year, $3MM contract signed by Callaspo with Atlanta this offseason. Stults' minor league contract came with a $2MM base upon making the roster, meaning about $1.44MM is left on his commitment. In total, then, the Braves are taking on just over $1MM in additional salary in order to add Uribe and Withrow.
Withrow, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery at this time, is slated to return from his operation in the second half of the season after undergoing surgery 51 weeks ago, on June 3, 2014. A hard-throwing reliever and former first-round pick of the Dodgers (2007), Withrow spent parts of the 2013-14 seasons pitching in relief for L.A., and doing so quite effectively.
The 56 innings he accumulated in those two seasons are the only Major League work on his resume, but he made quite the impression, registering a 2.73 ERA with 11.4 K/9, 5.0 BB/9, a 39.7 percent ground-ball rate and a fastball that averaged 95.7 mph. It should be noted that while Withrow's BB/9 rate looks a bit troubling, eight of his 31 Major League walks came over his final 8 2/3 innings prior to Tommy John; his control looked markedly better in 2013, and Baseball America noted prior to the 2014 season that he'd significantly improved upon his ability to locate his fastball.
The 28-year-old Thomas has worked to a 3.94 ERA with 18 strikeouts against 11 walks in 16 innings of relief for the Braves over the past two seasons. Thomas primarily throws a fastball, curveball and changeup, and he posted generally strong marks over the course of his minor league tenure after being signed out of indy ball. The Dodgers aren't particularly short on left-handed relief, with J.P. Howell, Adam Liberatore and Paco Rodriguez all serving as MLB-caliber options, but Thomas will further give them some depth in that regard.
Stults, 35, was actually drafted by the Dodgers in 2002 and spent parts of four seasons with the team from 2006-09. Of course, that was under different ownership and a different front office. Since that time, Stults bounced around the league a bit before settling into the Padres' rotation from 2012-14. Over those three seasons, the southpaw worked to a 3.87 ERA with 5.6 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 472 innings. Despite that relatively solid production, Stults was non-tendered this offseason and signed a minor league contract with the Braves, beating out Wandy Rodriguez for the fifth spot in Atlanta's rotation. The results for Stults haven't been particularly appealing, however, as he's posted a 6.34 ERA with a 30-to-13 K/BB ratio in 44 innings out of the Braves' rotation. The Dodgers may feel that a move back to the NL West will allow him to rediscover some success, and the team clearly is in need of some rotation depth after losing Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-jin Ryu for the season due to Tommy John and shoulder surgeries, respectively.
Jaime, the fourth piece headed to the Dodgers, is a hard-throwing right-hander that found himself designated for assignment earlier this season. He broke camp in the Braves' bullpen but made just two appearances before being designated for assignment. The 27-year-old cleared waivers and remained with the organization at the time, but his 96 mph average fastball will now be property of the Dodgers. Jaime has just 13 2/3 innings of experience in the big leagues, but he's posted a lifetime 3.12 ERA with 12.9 K/9 in the minors. However, Jaime has also walked 6.3 hitters per nine in his career, including an alarming 42 walks in 44 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported the re-kindled talks, the completion of the trade, and the inclusion of Withrow and Stults (All links to Twitter). MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported that Thomas and Jaime were in the trade (Twitter links). Braves skipper Fredi Gonzalez first told reporters, including Bowman, that Callaspo was being discussed in trades last night (Twitter link).

Added To The 40-Man Roster: Sunday
The rosters for Opening Day have been officially submitted this afternoon. Several minor league signees have won jobs with their clubs and earned 40-man roster spots. Here are today's additions:
- The Orioles will purchase catcher Ryan Lavarnway's contract on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets. The 25-man roster that the Orioles announced today included Caleb Joseph and Steve Clevenger at catcher, but not Lavarnway, who they had reassigned to the minors.
- The Padres have announced that they've purchased the contract of catcher Wil Nieves. With Tim Federowicz out with a knee injury, Nieves will back up Derek Norris. As we noted when Nieves signed, his big-league salary will be $850K.
- Ryan Madson has made the Royals' Opening Day roster, tweets MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan. Madson caps his comeback from multiple elbow injuries and his first appearance for Kansas City will be his first in the Majors since 2011.
- The Nationals have announced on Twitter that second baseman Dan Uggla and outfielder Reed Johnson have made their Opening Day roster.
- The Braves announced they have officially purchased the contracts of outfielders Eric Young, Jr. and Kelly Johnson, left-hander Eric Stults, and right-hander Cody Martin. The Braves cleared space on their 40-man roster by placing right-hander Arodys Vizcaino and outfielder Dian Toscano on the restricted list.
- One name missing from the Braves' roster is Pedro Ciriaco, who was reported yesterday to have made the club. This is likely a procedural move, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman (Twitter links), because the Braves placed Josh Outman on the 25-man roster instead of releasing him after the left-hander complained of shoulder tenderness. The move will also buy the Braves some time to look for an upgrade over Ciriaco, tweets Bowman.
- The Phillies have announced outfielder Jeff Francoeur and infielder Andres Blanco have made the team. Francoeur is just one of four outfielders on Philadelphia's Opening Day roster, so he could see time as Grady Sizemore's platoon partner in right field. The Phillies are now at their 40-man limit.
- The Marlins have selected the contract of utility player Don Kelly, tweets MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. Kelly earned his spot with solid Spring Training line of .270/.357/.324 in 42 plate appearances. Frisaro reports the 35-year-old will backup both the corner infield and outfield spots, as well as serving as the team's emergency third catcher.

Roster Moves: Hernandez, Enright, Robinson, Uggla, Ciriaco, Stults, Petit
Here's a roundup of some 40-man roster news as teams decide who will break camp for Opening Day….
- The Diamondbacks have announced (via Twitter) that Archie Bradley, Gerald Laird, and Jordan Pacheco have made the roster. Bradley, a top prospect, will join the rotation. Laird will serve as the backup catcher while Pacheco will probably take on a super utility role that includes some catching.
- The Astros have selected the contract of Roberto Hernandez, per the MLB transactions page. The right-handed sinker specialist has a 4.60 ERA in 1,264 innings. He split the 2014 season between the Phillies and Dodgers.
- The Dodgers have released right-handed pitcher Barry Enright, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Enright is a veteran of four major league seasons, although he struggled at the top level. He owns a 5.57 ERA, 4.60 K/9, and 3.15 BB/9 in 148 innings.
- The Nationals will select the contract of outfielder Clint Robinson, reports Chelsea Janes of the Washington Times. Robinson, 30, is a career minor leaguer with just 14 major league plate appearances. In 1,771 Triple-A plate appearances, he's hit .303/.392/.494. Janes also notes that the club is almost certain to retain second baseman Dan Uggla. He's one of just five healthy infielders with the club.
- The Blue Jays have opted to roster eight relievers for the start of the season with Liam Hendriks making the cut, writes Sean Farrell of MLB.com. The righty appeared for the Jays and Royals last season. He has a career 5.92 ERA in 188 innings. Second baseman Ryan Goins was optioned in a corresponding move.
- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez told Mark Bowman of MLB.com that utility man Pedro Ciriaco and pitcher Cody Martin will probably make the team. Ciriaco is a career .270/.299/.372 hitter over 498 plate appearances split over five seasons. The pair were added at the expense of outfielder Todd Cunningham and pitcher Michael Foltynewicz.
- Also making the Atlanta roster is pitcher Eric Stults, writes Bowman. The soft-tossing lefty has a solid big league career with a 4.12 ERA, 5.69 K/9, and 2.53 BB/9. His best season came with the Padres in 2013 when he pitched 203 innings with a 3.93 ERA.
- The Yankees have selected the contract of infielder Gregorio Petit, reports Chad Jennings of LoHud. Petit, 30, is a career .278/.301/.391 hitter in 156 plate appearances.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels says Anthony Bass will travel with the club to Oakland, reports Stefan Stevenson (via Twitter). He'll make the team barring a last minute acquisition. The 27-year-old reliever struggled with the Astros last season. In 27 innings, he allowed a 6.33 ERA with 2.33 K/9 and 2.33 BB/9.
- The Phillies have selected the contracts of right-handed reliever Jeanmar Gomez and left-handed reliever Cesar Jimenez, the team announced on Twitter. Gomez owns a career 4.41 ERA with 5.23 K/9 and 3.14 BB/9. He pitched well this spring in 12 and two-thirds innings, allowing a 0.71 ERA with nine strikeouts and one walk. Jimenez is familiar with the Phillies as he's bounced between Philadelphia and Triple-A over the past two seasons. In 81 innings, he has a career 4.32 ERA with 6.09 K/9 and 3.09 BB/9.

Braves Notes: Cahill, New Additions, Benson
In the wake of the Braves' trade for Trevor Cahill, here's the latest out of Atlanta…
- Though Cahill had an underwhelming 2014 season, assistant GM John Coppolella tells David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the Braves see a lot of upside in the righty. "We saw his last outing, where he showed a real good fastball to 94 (mph) with real good sink," Coppolella said. "We thought he was kind of a good buy-low, based on the fact he's still young. He'll be in a free agent walk year." Working with noted pitching coach Roger McDowell could also help get Cahill back in good form.
- Coppolella didn't comment on whether the team had decided to keep either of Eric Stults or Wandy Rodriguez, both of whom can opt out of their minor league contracts tomorrow. The two lefties are battling for the fifth spot in Atlanta's rotation, and Rodriguez has been announced as part of the staff earlier in the spring, though that doesn't appear to be a sure thing at this point.
- Acquiring a right-handed starter in Cahill checks one item off the Braves' preseason to-do list, and MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports that the club is also looking to trade for relief depth and a backup center fielder.
- That backup center field job could still go to an internal candidate, with Joe Benson and Todd Cunningham looking like the top prospects for the job, O'Brien writes. Benson has already earned his way from the minor league camp to being an official non-roster invite to the Major League camp, even though Spring Training is almost over. Benson's nine-year pro career has only seen him play 21 MLB games, all with the Twins in 2011.

NL East Links: Dunn, Phillies, McDowell, Alderson
Lefty Mike Dunn is the rare player who hopes to be criticized for signing a multi-year deal, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. "I want it to be a situation where, at the end of it, someone can say to me, 'Well, that was a terrible deal. If you would have done it year to year, you could have made more money,' " Dunn said. "That's what I want it to be. I want to prove I'm worth more than that. I want to live up to that two-year deal, and hopefully surpass it." The two-year, $5.8MM contract represents a rare multi-year commitment to a reliever for the Marlins, though they were comfortable giving Dunn two years because of his extreme durability. Dunn has averaged 70 appearances a year since 2011 and never been on the DL during his nine-year professional career.
Here's some more from around the NL East…
- Should the Phillies trade Cole Hamels sooner rather than later? MLB.com's Todd Zolecki makes the point that the club has already been burned by moving too quickly to deal other recent aces — Curt Schilling in 2000 and Cliff Lee in 2009 — and there's no reason to rush into a Hamels deal just because of Lee's current injury concerns.
- The presence of highly-regarded pitching coach Roger McDowell was a big reason why Eric Stults and Jim Johnson signed with the Braves, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes.
- With Josh Edgin possibly facing Tommy John surgery, the Mets are even thinner on left-handed relief pitching options. Manager Terry Collins is "disappointed" (according to ESPN New York's Adam Rubin) with how his southpaws have performed in Spring Training and said he could even consider having an all-righty bullpen, though GM Sandy Alderson told reporters (including Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal) that he "can't forsee" a pen without at least one left-hander present.
- The lack of lefty bullpen depth is another example of how the Mets are hampering themselves by a lack of spending, Joel Sherman of the New York Post opines.
- Alderson spoke to reporters (including Adam Rubin) in order to clarify comments made in his biography about the Mets' payroll situation. "Some people want to interpret the last four years strictly in terms of what financial resources were available or not available to the Mets….From that standpoint, that's never been an issue for me," Alderson said. "I never talked about the payroll as an unfortunate limitation to us. I haven't talked about it recently. I haven't talked about it in the past. I don't intend to. It's not relevant to me….Look, our payroll is at $100 million right now, which is up about 20 percent from what it was last year. I don't think anybody has any complaints at all on our end."

East Notes: Braves, Olivera, Span, Sabathia
In the course of a broader post, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported several opt-out dates for veteran Braves pitchers in camp on minor league deals. Lefty Eric Stults can exercise his clause on April 3, just prior to Opening Day, while Chien-Ming Wang does not have the right to make himself a free agent until July 1.
Here's more from Atlanta and the rest of the NL East:
- Though the Braves have had plenty of discussion with the representatives for Hector Olivera, the club is indicating that it will not spend a "huge" amount of money for the free agent infielder, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution tweets.
- The Nationals will face an early-season challenge now that center fielder Denard Span is set to miss significant time after undergoing surgery for a "right core muscle" injury, as Chelsea James of the Washington Post reports. A "league medical official" tells James that the surgery is particularly concerning since it comes right on the heels of a December sports hernia procedure. The immediate effect of the injury is to provide a full-time audition for prospect Michael Taylor. Depending upon how it proceeds, it could impact Washington's trade deadline needs and Span's upcoming free agency.
- Yankees starter CC Sabathia tells MLB Network Radio (audio link) that he is at "one hundred percent" health at this point. He expects his next outing to be live game action after throwing a simulated game today. Sabathia is just one of several high-variable starting pitchers in the New York stable. His ability to bounce back this year will go a long way not only towards determining the club's short-term success, but also toward assessing the value the team can hope to return out of the $30MM in guaranteed money (and potential for $20MM more through a vesting clause) left on Sabathia's deal.

Rosenthal On Rockies, Drew, Padres, Braves
Other teams asked Major League Baseball about the Rockies' decision to add John Axford to their roster so early in the spring, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports. Axford signed a minor-league deal with the Rockies in early February, but the team added him to its roster March 1, effectively turning a minor-league deal into a big-league one. To clear space on their roster, they moved Tyler Chatwood to the 60-day DL, a move they were not allowed to make in the offseason. The idea is that the team might have effectively agreed to a big-league deal with Axford but signed him to a minor-league deal purely to manipulate its roster. The Rockies, of course, could plausibly claim that they were impressed by Axford early in the spring and wanted to roster him so that he couldn't exercise his out clause later in the month, perhaps making the decision early as a vote of confidence in Axford and in their team. Here are more highlights from Rosenthal's latest notes column.
- Scouts have doubts about Stephen Drew as the Yankees' second baseman, Rosenthal writes. The Yankees signed Drew for $5MM in the offseason with the idea that he would provide veteran stability in the middle infield, given that they're going with youngster Didi Gregorius at shortstop and their backup plans at second, Jose Pirela and Rob Refsnyder, are also inexperienced.
- The Padres are reportedly among the teams most interested in Cuban infielder Hector Olivera, but Rosenthal reports that they are unlikely to pay more than the $70MM Olivera expects to get.
- Teams interested in starting pitching depth could turn to the Braves' collection of minor-league signees, including Eric Stults, Chien-Ming Wang and Wandy Rodriguez. Stults can opt out of his deal April 3, while Wang can opt out July 1. Whether Rodriguez has an out, and when, is unknown.

Braves To Sign Eric Stults
The Braves have agreed to sign left-hander Eric Stults to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training, reports MLB.com's Mark Bowman (on Twitter). Stults is a client of Pro Star Management, Inc.
The 35-year-old Stults has spent the better part of the past three seasons in the Padres' rotation, working to a 3.87 ERA with 5.6 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 and a ground-ball rate just north of 40 percent. The past two seasons were his first full years in a big league rotation, and he averaged 190 innings between the two campaigns.
While all of that appears solid on paper, Stults saw his numbers take a step back in 2014, and he's never fared particularly well away from the pitcher-friendly Petco Park (4.77 road ERA in 2013, 4.50 in 2014). Last season, Stults worked to a 4.30 ERA that metrics such as xFIP and SIERA feel is commensurate with his talent level, and the pristine command he showed in 2013 (1.8 BB/9) regressed toward his career mark, as he allowed 2.3 walks per nine.
Stults figures to compete with Michael Foltynewicz to see which of the two will round out a starting rotation that currently includes Julio Teheran, Alex Wood, Mike Minor and Shelby Miller.

Eric Stults Elects Free Agency
Left-hander Eric Stults has chosen to become a free agent after the Padres outrighted him to Triple-A, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports (Twitter link). Stults was designated for assignment by the Padres last week.
As Jeff Sanders of the Union-Tribune recently explained, the Padres' decision to designate Stults was largely based on financial reasons (the $4.6MM he'd earn through the arbitration process, as projected by MLBTR's Matt Swartz) rather than the southpaw's performance as a Padre. Stults has been a reliable innings-eater since joining the team in May 2012, posting a 3.87 ERA and 2.71 K/BB rate over 472 IP. The advanced metrics, however, rank Stults as a below-average performer at pitcher-friendly Petco Park, so the Friars felt they could afford to let Stults go in lieu of their other pitching depth.
Stults, who turns 35 next month, has a career 4.12 ERA over 635 2/3 IP with the Padres, White Sox, Rockies and Dodgers over eight Major League seasons.

Sun Series books (off topic)
Sorry for this post, but I was looking through the latest edition of the Sun Series book "Core Java Fundamentals: Volume I" earlier today and was astonished at chapter 1. The author discusses the benefits of an IDE, but only mentions Eclipse. No mention of Netbeans or any other IDE. The author then demonstrates how to build the Hello World application in Eclipse, complete with screenshots, and then states that they will cover debugging with Eclipse in chapter 11. Does Sun not have someone look over these books before allowing them to be printed under the Sun Series logo? Nothing against Eclipse, but it appears that someone at Sun severely dropped the ball on this. I would have expected at least a mention of other IDEs that included Netbeans. Even Emacs and jEdit got an honorable mention.
Sorry for the rant.

Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea has clear negative effects, such as dead bottoms and massive blooms of cyanobacteria. But high plankton production can also have positive effects on acidification. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have shown that it is possible to work out the aggregate effects of various environmental measures.
"The environmental state of the Baltic Sea is affected by many different processes at the same time and on several different time scales. Mathematical models are the only tools that can determine the relative significance of such processes. I have helped develop a mathematical model for the marine systems of the Baltic Sea. Modelling tools of this type can and should make a contribution as a basis for decisions on environmental measures in the area," says Erik Gustafsson at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Gothenburg.
Since 1960 an average of 50 000 square kilometres of the deep water of the Baltic Sea has been characterised by a condition in which the level of oxygen is so low that higher life forms either abandon the area or suffocate. The area of oxygen-poor regions can vary significantly from year to year, but more than 100 years of measurements show that significantly better conditions prevailed overall in the deep water during the first half of the last century.
Oxygen conditions are governed both by natural processes and by human impact. Because of strong salinity stratification and limited water exchange through the narrow Danish straits, a large part of the deep water of the Baltic Sea is isolated for periods of time. At the same time, oxygen is consumed due to the decomposition of organic matter. As a result of human activities, the quantity of organic matter increased sharply during the second half of the 20th century.
"The overarching question in my thesis concerns the extent to which the deterioration in the environmental state of the Baltic Sea

Trial of the Century?
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Full coverage of the impeachment hearings.
- Dec. 19, 1998: The House impeaches President Cliton.
- Dec. 4, 1998: Shields & Gigot on the impeachment hearings.
- Dec. 1, 1998: The House impeachment inquiry focuses on the consequences of perjury.
- Nov. 27, 1998: President Clinton answers written questions about the Lewinsky matter.
- Nov. 27, 1998: Shields & Gigot on the 81 questions.
- Nov. 20, 1998: Shields and Gigot on the impeachment hearings and the resignation of Sam Dash.
JIM LEHRER: Perspective on what next in the impeachment story is first tonight. It comes from four key members of the United States Senate: two Republicans, Orrin Hatch of Utah, chairman of the Judiciary Committee; and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the incoming chairman of the Rules Committee; and Democrats Patrick Leahy of Vermont, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
Senator Hatch, what do you think of the Ford/Carter proposal for censure, rather than a trial in the Senate?
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: Well, it's a very good idea, and certainly well-intentioned, and both of those fine former presidents deserve to be listened to. On the other hand, you know, there is an obligation to try the case in the Senate. I think before something like that can be implemented, there's going to have to be some pretty strong indication from the Democrats that they're not going to support and they're not going to possibly support, you know, conviction in the Senate. You know, I think it's going to have to come to that, and I do believe we'll probably have to start the trial. A lot depends too on what fellow Senators feel with regard to going ahead with a trial in this matter, because no one knows really where everybody is right now.
JIM LEHRER: Do you think – in other words – the Senate should be informally polled, all 100 members?
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: Well, I think that the two leaders have to poll their two sides and get a pretty good hard count at some time after the trial begins – it would seem to me – or if there's the goodwill in the Senate to try and do this before the trial, which I – I think a lot of Senators are going to have a very difficult time trying to make a decision on compromising this matter before they actually see the trial begin. But whatever, we could do either, but it's going to have – there's going to have to be a pretty good strong showing that under no circumstances would conviction ever occur if we go through a full-fledged trial.
JIM LEHRER: And is that your feeling right now, that that's where things stand?
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: Well, I think that's one of the areas where they stand. There are a variety of things that can be done here.
JIM LEHRER: No. But I mean – do you feel that that is where the majority of the Senate – I mean, in other words, there are not 67 votes to vote to remove the president at this point?
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: I don't think anyone would disagree with the statement that right now based upon what we know today we do not have 67 votes to convict the president and complete the process of impeachment.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Senator Leahy, would you agree with that, that there aren't 67 votes?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: I think Senator Hatch is taking it very well. He and I have discussed this somewhat ourselves, but we also have – in my own informal accounts of Senators, both Republicans and Democrats, I get that impression, that the 67 votes are not there for conviction. Now, whether we start a trial or not, I think that the suggestion made by President Ford and President Carter has a great deal of merit. President Ford, as you know, made a somewhat similar suggestion in an op-ed piece a few weeks ago, and I called him. I had a long talk with him about it. I was struck by the fact that President Ford wanted to do what was best for the country. He had no partisan gain one way or the other. He wanted to do what was best for the country.
JIM LEHRER: Does it matter to you, Senator Leahy, if a deal – if a censure resolution came out of this – whether it came before a trial, or after – in other words, do you think there should be a trial, at least a trial should begin before any formal action of any kind is taken?
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Well, I think the practical thing is a trial may begin. But I think that we ought to be looking at what the end game is. If you're going to not have a conviction, as most Senators feel, do we want to put the country through the trauma of a trial? The country is saying, censure the president for what he did; maybe should all step back, take a deep breath and listen to the country.
JIM LEHRER: Senator McConnell, where do you come down on this?
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: Well, I think our first obligation, Jim, is to the Constitution and to determine what is appropriate when an article or articles, as is the case now, are passed by the House of Representatives, articles of impeachment — what is our obligation? My reaction to studying this so far is that we have an obligation to go forward with the trial. The various suggestions, such as those made by President Carter and President Ford, are useful, but the question is: At what point is that worth considering? My view is that we really don't know where the Senate is yet. We've taken no testimony. And I think once we dispose of the articles of impeachment, we can have the other discussion about what kind of remedy might be appropriate at that time, assuming the articles are not passed.
JIM LEHRER: In other words, you do not agree with Senator Hatch that the first step should be at least an informal polling of where the Senators stand now, and let that kind of at least dictate some of the steps that follow?
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: Well, I think one of the people I'm going to be looking to, and I think all of the Senate is going to be looking to, is Senator Robert Byrd – the expert on the Senate – probably the greatest expert whoever lived on the Senate, and he's still serving in the Senate. I'm anxious to hear what he has to say about his view of what our obligation is under the Constitution. I'm not ruling out at some point a solution such as those that have been suggested. But I think our first obligation is to the Constitution and to go forward as was envisioned in the Constitution when we receive an article of impeachment from the House.
JIM LEHRER: Senator Byrd issued a statement late this afternoon, Senator McConnell, in which he said – I'm paraphrasing here – that some kind of arrangement is fine, but it must be among the United States Senators, not with the White House or any outside parties. Would you agree with that, in principle?
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: I think what Senator Byrd is saying is that under the Constitution we're the jurors in this case and that we're responsible ultimately for applying the Constitution and listening to the impeachment trial. I think Senator Byrd is absolutely right.
JIM LEHRER: Senator Lieberman, what about you, do you think there should be a trial, at least the beginning of a trial, or do you think a deal could be made before, maybe not with the White House but a deal of some kind?
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN: Well, Jim, I think we're all – I'm sitting back listening to my three colleagues. I'm proud of what I've heard, because what I've heard is what I've heard also privately from many colleagues of both parties that I've spoken to, which is that the Senate is intent on approaching this in a non-partisan manner and doing this in a way that not only is just to the president but brings some honor to the institution of the Congress and maybe even repairs some of the damage done to the relationship between government and the people this year.
I think we're all trying to balance our constitutional responsibility as Senators to try articles of impeachment that have been passed by the House and sent to us with our desire not to inflict more damage on this country than has already been inflicted. And ultimately a trial by our rules has to start. How long it goes depends on a majority of members of the Senate. And I think most of us are now focusing in on the articles, the evidence, the law, the history in a way that we haven't, frankly, during the year to see whether within our heads and hearts we're prepared to reach a judgment now to say that we can't imagine under the current circumstances of the evidence that we've seen that we would go for a conviction. And when more than 50 of us reach that point, that's when we will try to do something — if that happens before the end of the trial – to end the trial.
JIM LEHRER: But you think there should be a beginning? There probably will be the beginning of a trial?
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN: I think we're obligated by the Senate rules to start the trial. And based on the conversations I've had with colleagues, I think it will begin and go for a while, but how long it goes depends on the will of 51 members of the Senate.
JIM LEHRER: Now, you mentioned bipartisanship. Yes.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: This is on trials. We also – though – we want to have some idea once we start a thing. I think the shortest impeachment trial the Senate ever had of anybody was 34 days. The longest was over 400 days, about 448 days, and Andrew Johnson is about 74 days. So we should look at what we're starting with. I think the important thing – the most important thing in the Ford/Carter – President Ford/President Carter op-ed, is that they're approaching it from a bipartisan fashion. What I have been struck by in the last few – last week or so especially – in talk with Senators – is that all the Senators I've talked with – Republicans and Democrats – wanted to do that. They feel the Senate could be the conscience of the nation in this matter. Now, it may mean starting the trial, but I think you're going to find a real effort by Senators to come together with what is the best resolution, which will probably end up being censure, but at least it will be an effort to do it not in a partisan fashion. If it's partisan, then I think the country loses hope in the whole process.
JIM LEHRER: Now, Senator McConnell, both Senator Lieberman and Senator Leahy have said that; this has to be bipartisan, and the general consensus is that that was not the case in the House, getting to this point. Why would it be different in the Senate, and do you think it will be?
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: Well, certainly the House proceeding was partisan. I, for example, was surprised that only five Democrats thought that the allegation of lying under oath before a grand jury warranted impeachment. So, clearly, it was not a bipartisan process. I think it will be bipartisan in the Senate. I also think it's important to note with regard to the various doomsday scenarios that have been suggested if we have a trial that this is not a complicated case. There are very few witnesses. I sat on the special impeachment committee back in 1986, when we impeached a federal district judge. We heard 19 witnesses in seven days. I think this is a case that can be tried very quickly. I don't think it's to anybody's advantage to drag it out. I can't imagine that the president would want to drag it out. Certainly no one in the Senate thinks it would be a good idea to drag it out. I think this is a trial – if it's conducted all the way to conclusion and a vote on the articles of impeachment – will be over very quickly.
JIM LEHRER: Senator Hatch, do you think that this can be done in a bipartisan manner?
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: I certainly think it has to be done in a bipartisan manner, and we have to look at this through the eyes – I personally am going to look at it this way. I want to be as fair as I can to the president, bend over backwards for him, if I can. My standard of proof would be beyond a reasonable doubt they'd have to prove his guilt. I would want to treat this president just like I would if he was a Republican, and I would hope that the Democrats would want to treat this president just as if he was a Republican, as well. And if we do that, yes, I think there has to be a beginning of a trial. I don't think it has to go all the way through to conclusion, although that may be what the Senate in a bipartisan manner decides to do. If, for instance, it is very apparent and very clear that there's no way that you're going to have a two thirds vote for conviction, there comes a time when you have to say, hey, look, let's do the best we can to do what's best under the circumstances, the best constitutional approach that we can take, and let's try and do it in a bipartisan way, and let it go at that. But it may have to go completely to conclusion before we get any results. But there have been some very good suggestions. Senator Lieberman and I, Senator Leahy and others have chatted about a wide variety of ways that we could resolve these problems, and, you know, there's a lot of ways that this problem can be resolved if we can't – you know – if there's not a two thirds vote to impeach –
JIM LEHRER: Senator Lieberman –
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: — to convict, rather.
JIM LEHRER: Having to convict, right. Senator Lieberman, on Saturday, the members on both sides attacked each other and this whole process, the Democrats, members of your party in the House actually walked out after the vote in the –
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN: Right.
JIM LEHRER: If that kind of reaction – no matter what the conclusion is in the Senate, if there is that kind of reaction, what does the country face?
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN: First off, we will not have responsibly carried out the oath we're going to take early in January to do impartial justice; secondly, it's not just President Clinton that's on trial once the trial begins; it's the Congress; it's the country. And I think we're all tested to act in the national interest here. And what Orrin and others have said – if we reach a point at some point in this trial where we just know the outcome will not be conviction, then I think we've all got to look directly at each other and say, do we want to put the country through all the witnesses coming on – to go through all the intimate details – do we want to put our children through that once again? And I think the answer – if we come to that – will be no.
JIM LEHRER: Senator McConnell just said he didn't think it would be that traumatic.
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN: Well, it depends how it's done. I mean, if the parties agree, remember, we're the judges or the jury, but there's prosecution, the White House, there's the defendant – I'm sorry – the prosecution is the House; the defense for the White House. And it depends on what kind of case they want to put on. If they just decide to argue on the law and accept the facts from the House, then it could be a fairly brief trial, but there are major questions of fact that are not quite clear in the two articles sent to us. And if either side decides that they have to put on witnesses, this is going to be a long and very, very traumatic trial, and, therefore, a long and traumatic event for Congress and for the country. And I think we have to think of that national interest when we see this trial go forward.
JIM LEHRER: You don't see it that way, Senator McConnell? It doesn't have to be traumatic for the country?
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: I don't think so. I think – you know – carrying out the provisions of the Constitution is not necessarily traumatic for the country. This is a very, very strong democracy. I think the best evidence of that was last weekend when the president was carrying out a foreign military strike in the middle of what was happening in the House. Let me also say I agree with Joe entirely, that some of these witnesses who have now become rather infamous over the last nine months, if we do have to take testimony from those people, I think the Senate should not take that testimony in open session. I think we ought to take it in closed session. I don't think that children or the families of America ought to be subjected any further to that kind of testimony. We could subsequently make the testimony, of course, public, but I don't think we ought to put on – on that kind of spectacle for the American people.
JIM LEHRER: All right.
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: And I don't think it's required in order to reach a judgment in this case.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Gentlemen, thank you all four very much.

College softball: FGCU loses to Wisconsin to close FIU Classic
The Florida Gulf Coast University softball team lost to Wisconsin, 9-1, to close the FIU Classic in Miami on Sunday.
FGCU finished the tournament 1-4, and is 6-4-1.
"We fell behind early again like we did against Georgia Southern," FGCU coach David Deiros said. "Most of it was because of what Wisconsin was able to accomplish with their game plan and part of it was because we were unable to respond very well in any of our facets – from coaching to hitting and fielding and pitching. We've got some time to get together before we play again. We are really looking forward to the opportunity to show that these last three games were an anomaly and not the way we are going to play the game."
Kelsey Carpenter had two hits, and Louie Ross had an RBI single for the Eagles' only run.
Wisconsin scored two in the first, two in the second, and added three more in the third.
The Eagles will host the FGCU/Four Points by Sheraton Round Robin next weekend. The tournament will feature North Dakota, Villanova, Arkansas, Harvard and Eastern Michigan.

On behalf of Art Educators of Iowa and the All-State Visual Art Awards Committee, congratulations and thank you to all nominees and nominating art educators. We appreciate the time and effort it takes to compile a portfolio and complete the submission process. Though we provide the opportunity to recognize students for outstanding work, it is the time, nurture, and support that individual teachers give students with potential that is most significant. Please, continue to participate and encourage other teachers in your district, region, and conference to become participating members. The more participants involved, the more students we can honor for their outstanding efforts.
This year, judging was completed remotely for the first time by the following:
Clar Baldus – University of Iowa
Jeff Byrd – University of Northern Iowa
Jan Dotzler – Creative Center – Omaha, NE
Anna Pagnucci – Ashford University
Joseph Lappie – St. Ambrose University
Judging is 100% randomized and anonymous and each individual piece is evaluated. Essays are judged on a point scale of 0-5 Points, and Portfolio Images are judged on a scale of 5-10. Out of 111 students who submitted, this was one of the tightest races, point-wise, in All State history. Judge Joseph Lappie stated, "There was some really strong work this year. I felt like ceramics was hitting it out of the ballpark. There are also a lot of strong "drawers". Writing was pretty centered, with a lot of students writing about their unique voice, but an equal amount of artists speaking out about the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of visual arts. To me, this shows how strong Iowa students can be." Judge Jan Dotzler stated, "Let me congratulate the Iowa student artists on all their fantastic work! There were many submissions I considered excellent, especially in the photography category. Some of the stylized artwork had intriguing concepts and
were well designed and executed. The ceramics had a look of sophistication, as you would see in art galleries, and several realistic drawings were outstanding. That's a wonderful reflection of the quality standards set by
the art teachers." Student scores can be viewed in their portals under each image.
The All State Committee is pleased to announce this year's top portfolios.
