Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
The Cubs had to make a roster move today to accommodate Geovany Soto and the victim was Micah Hoffpauir. He'll surely be back up when rosters expand on September 1st and possibly sooner. After a good start to the season, he sort of crescendoed at a .920 OPS on May 20th and since then has hit 182/217/336 in 115 PA with 4 HR's, mostly in part-time duty.
That leaves the Cubs bench with Jake Fox, Koyie Hill, Aaron Miles, Sam Fuld and either Mike Fontenot or Jeff Baker depending on who gets the start.
LIneup for tonight: Fukudome, Bradley, Lee, Ramirez, Soto, Soriano, Fontenot, Theriot, Zambrano
If Soto comes back with a vengeance, that has to be my favorite lineup of the season...hopefully they score some runs this weekend and Lou sticks with it.
By the way, the Rockies are the best team in baseball since June with a .661 winning percentage and 39 wins (tied with the Angels) including 14 straight wins versus NL Central opponents. It's gonna be a tough series...
UPDATE: Z didn't finish his warm-ups and Sean Marshall will make a spot start.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
bradley in the 2 slot...i like that.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
So much for getting more left handed...fuld is our power bat off the bench? Bradley's OBP gets put to the test.
Stl 3 , pirates 4 top 6
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
yeesh...Z never finished his warmup. left early, to the lockerroom...hasn't emerged since.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
he threw 5 pitches before he shut himself down...that's not even CLOSE to throwing full speed or with full pitching motion.
hello DL.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
getting word that he's scratched possible back injury. marshall to start.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Isnt it great when Z bunts for hits and tries to put on power shows during batting practice?
Grow the fuck up.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Cubs.com is saying "Victor Zambrano" was scratched and replaced by Marshall, so I don't see what the big deal is.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Whats wrong with Marshall? Seems like he's been bad for the last few weeks. I know this start was on short notice, but he was having a great year up until this point.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Sean, are you enjoying the thin air here? Oh by the way, head down to the bullpen you're starting.
ESPN showed a stat the other night - Marshall was leading the league in reliever ERA. Not that I dislike Marshall, but he's not even a top 10 reliever in the NL, so you had to know where that ERA was going. The good news is that this start didn't hurt that particular stat.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Soriano broken bat hit, Len saying Soriano should be at second,then they do the replay, Len does not look like he
turned it on, Brenley are you surprised.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
At least Soto is back...
Yeesh, brutal.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Soriano sucks. Soto sucks. Fontenot sucks. The bullpen sucks.
Someone needs to sit Zambrano down and tell him if he wants to be paid ace money (which we unfortunately paid him before having this discussion) he needs to stop thinking he's a legitimate hitter and start taking less ridiculous swings.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Lee refused to label this series and the one against the Phillies as defining.
"The only thing that will tell us about our team is where we stand on Oct. 4," he said. "These games mean nothing. We can win all seven, but if you lose seven next week ... you just have to play good the next two months."
Does Lee really believe this stuff is it just me but does this team just lack a sense of urgency at all times? They aren't good enough to just coast.
Re: Ouch
They didn't show the fall, but it must have been really awkward for him to ding his head. Gotta hand it to Albert P., who's right there to help the injured guy and get his kid a souvenir. Cardinal or not, Albert is the best.
Re: Ouch
That's pretty awesome. I wasn't aware of how active Pujols is with Down's Syndrome (apparently being a father of child with it)...I respect him a lot more. Damn it, why can't he give me something to hate?
Re: Ouch
If there is anything that popular media has taught, it's that anyone who appears to be this perfect on the surface has to be doing something evil in secret. I guarantee he eats puppies or commits ritual sacrifices of panda bears or something.
Either that or baseball is a romantic comedy.
Re: Ouch
He's not the father, he's the step-father. And I am pretty sure he got married after he hit the bigs... after you could speculate see he was going to make $100+ million in his career. He's a tempting target to hate, but that kind of stand up manning just doesn't happen much in America anymore. He gets a pass from me.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
you have to be some kind of special to want to take on that contract. jays would be stupid not to just give him up.
replacing rios isn't exactly hard.
let's see how jp retardii can screw this one up.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
John Gaub, for the I-Cubs pitched another 2 scoreless innings with one hit, one walk and 4 K's.
ERA now 0.54.
Maybe it's time to take a look (hard for him to be any hotter) if Lou would use him
...although I understand we may need a starter if Z's MRI is problematic. The I-Cubs starters at this point are Mitch Atkins, Caridad, Fossum, J Russell and JR Mathes. I guess they'd bring up Atkins again but others would know who's pitching best of that group. Cashner?
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
OK is this belaboring the obvious? Why not make Marshall the starter and have Gaub replace him in the pen?
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
I think it's ridiculous that with the off day on Thursday, that a starting pitcher who had four days rest since his last start (Ryan Dempster) wasn't prepared to start in place of Zambrano last night. Or knowing he had back spasms in his last start, the Cubs even could have just skipped Zambrano's turn at COL and scheduled his next start on Tuesday vs PHI (first game of the homestand) and sent him home to sleep in his own bed, going with Dempster-Wells-Gorzelanny-Harden FRI-MON versus the Rockies. The Cubs shouldn't have had to start Marshall last night.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Was Dempster even at the stadium?
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
it seems to be dusty's fault...i mean a breakdown of communication between Z and the rest of the coaches.
Z should have fessed up earlier and the staff should have planned ahead, but dusty plays favorites with mark prior and...oh sorry, wrong side of the wrong rant...
it happens, but this was a combined effort at screwing the team over at the last minute. fun stuff.
the staff seemed pretty shocked Z wasn't going to be ready. there was definitively no backup plan in place.

CUBSTER: Andrew Cashner is the Cubs top pitching prospect, but I don't think he would be brought up to start against the Phillies in the middle of a pennant race.
With Jeff Samardzija having thrown four innings last night, I would think the Shark would most-likely be the one who gets the start next Wednesady if Zambrano can't go. If that is the case, the Cubs should option Samardzija to Iowa today and recall Jeff Stevens (giving the Cubs an extra bullpen arm), while keeping Samardzija with the club in Colorado. Then if it turns out Zambrano can't make his next start, the Cubs can place Zambrano on the DL retroactive to Sunday 8/2 (making him eligible to be reactivated on Monday 8/17, meaning he would miss just one more start), and recall Samardzija from AAA next Wednesday as Zambrano's roster replacement.
Or with the Iowa Cubs playing at Wrigley Field on Sunday, the Cubs could just have LHP Casey Fossum remain in Chicago after Sunday's game and be available to start (if necessary) next Wednesday versus the lefty-heavy Phillies. Fossum started for the I-Cubs last night, and so he is already in the same rotation slot as Zambrano.
Fossum has pitched very well in his last five starts at Iowa (29.2 IP, 19 H, 9 ER, 10 BB, 26 K, 2.73 ERA, 179 OBA, and 0.98 WHIP), and because he was released earlier this season by the Mets, the Cubs would only have to pay him the pro-rated portion of the MLB minimum salary, so he could just get released if he is needed for only one start and doesn't pitch well, or if he does pitch well, he could be kept around as the 12th man on the staff.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Speaking of the Mets and the Iowa Cubs, the Cubs have traded AAA Iowa OF-1B Jason Dubois to the Mets AAA Buffalo affiliate in the International League, apparently for the usual PTBNL or cash.
With Micah Hoffpauir having been optioned to Iowa and with Brad Snyder back from the DL, Dubois was not likely to get much playing time at Iowa the last month of the PCL season, and he wasn't likely to get a September call-up to Chicago, either.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
For those who did not hear, Randy Bush was on Bruuuuuce's show this am on Talking Baseball.
He stated it is probable that Z will be placed on the DL.
Discussion ensued with Levine and his co-host, that Samardjia might be worthwhile to try as a starter. He believes he'd be more successful as a young pitcher in a starting role.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
"He believes he'd be more successful as a young pitcher in a starting role."
God I would hope so. Sarcasm aside, I see him as having a little Dempsteritis, in that his command would probably improve as a starter.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Stevens is probably coming back, so either Marshall or Shark to the rotation probably makes the most sense.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
shouldnt a guy have a pitch besides a fastball (and a little more control) before being a starter?
how many offspeed pitches he throw a game? 1? 3?
it's a steady stream of that low90s and mid-high 90s fastball for the most part.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
For the out of towners on TCR, tonight's game is also supposed to be on MLB Network.
Re: Josh Hamilton
It's good to be king.
Re: Josh Hamilton
He apologized today and claimed it was a "one time thing" and he's embarrassed. Sounds a bit like David Ortiz' b.s.
Re: Josh Hamilton
it is b.s. if his past is any inclination.
his timeline of how long he's been clean when talking to people doesn't coincide with me seeing him kicking back beers.
Re: Josh Hamilton
One time thing, but a three thing time?
He should have just said he wasn't drinking and that it was Perrier he was drinking off the girl. Just because you're saved or born again or whatever, doesn't mean you shouldn't have any fun for the rest of your life, does it?
Re: Josh Hamilton
you're talking about a guy who's probably got some team regulations on his activities.
then again, i dunno how that's been handled since he moved from CIN to TEX...and it's not like TEX is gonna cut/void the guy over this.
it also doesn't fit the 'whore who found jesus' talks he likes to give for inspiration.
you should have seen this guy in highschool..90+mph fastball, could KILL the ball, and looked like a f'n monster compared to his teammates. rare specimen.
btw, his wife sure puts up with a lot of shit from this guy...for many many years...but she still sticks around.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Any word on how long Zambrano is out? And when can we stop pretending this isn't a huge injury in a season where the Cubs are just barely playing passable baseball?
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
For you Jason Marquis haters... I heard on the radio (but I didn't confirm it's accuracy) that every single team Jason Marquis has been on since coming to the majors has made the playoffs.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Imagine what he and Koyie Hill would do on the same team!
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
But how often has Jason Marquis actually made the playoff roster?
Seriously though, he is a valuable guy to have. He makes all his starts, typically pitches at least 6 innings, keeps his team in the game, and does some decent things with the bat. He's great to have as a 5th starter on a contender. Unfortunately, he's not worth the $10 million per Hendry gave him.
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Is he worth the $7 million a year Hendry actually gave him?
Re: Soto Activated; Hoff Sent Down
Lefty relievers moving up the food chain. (This is two days old and may be old news.)
Dustin Sasser to Tennessee, Casey Lambert to Iowa.
Sasser had a nice set of numbers at Daytona: 45 hits in 62 innings, with 51 strikeouts, 25 walks. ERA 1.60, WHIP 1.13.
His "twin," Luke Sommer, had similar numbers (more hits/inning) but Sasser got the promotion.
Lambert's star has dimmed a little this year but he has been pitching decently since he rested a sore elbow and moved back to the pen.

nathan to join the cubs tomorrow.
Wow in deed.
FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.

We believe that a robust set of professional registers for technicians will help to give technician occupations the status they deserve.
The UK has a shortage of technicians and without significant and sustained action this shortage will worsen in the coming decades, threatening our future economic prosperity.Learn More

We believe that a robust set of professional registers for technicians will help to give technician occupations the status they deserve.
Good career guidance is critical if young people are to raise their aspirations and capitalise on the opportunities available to them. We commissioned Sir John Holman to research what pragmatic actions could improve career guidance in secondary schools and we are piloting the recommendations with schools.
The UK has a well-documented shortage of STEM technicians to satisfy demand for both new and replacement roles. Technical education offers young people a clear route from school into rewarding technician occupations, and progression to higher education for those who wish to do so.
We are committed to supporting practical science in schools and colleges. We will continue to strengthen the role of technicians, to celebrate teacher demonstrations and to improve the assessment of practical skills in science.
In late 2015 David Sainsbury was asked by government to chair a panel of experts that would provide clear recommendations for measures that would not only improve, but transform, technical education in England. The panel's report was published alongside the government's Post-16 Skills Plan in July 2016.
Best practice examples of technical education systems, both in this country and internationally, were considered. Employers, teachers, lecturers, learning providers, and young people, were consulted.

more specifically, what constitutes moral turpitude? Petty Theft? Grand Theft? Aggravated Battery? Arson? Murder? Sexual assault charges?
It would be helpful if you could provide a list of what is or what isn't moral turpitude? As I understand it, it centers around honesty and the willingness of an individual to lie. But I am not too sure.
I ask this, primarily because, after the Patriot Act passed, I am little concerned that I may find myself in the unenviable position of a defendant in a criminal case pursued by overzealous prosecutors. I just want to be a little more informed, just in case.
Thanks in advance
DUI / DWI Attorney
There are many crimes which are crimes of moral turpitude. All theft related crimes including petty theft, identity theft, burglary, robbery, and embezzlement. There are many more theft related crimes that I did not list which are crimes of moral turpitude. Domestic violence convictions are crimes of moral turpitude. It would be easier to tell an attorney what crimes you have been convicted of and the attorney can tell you if it is a crime of moral turpitude.
very helpful. Thank you
Criminal Defense Attorney
Call us back when you get prosecuted. In the meantime good luck on that essay you are writing for your school.
Sir, you keep assuming that I am writing an essay. I swear to you, I am not. I am, as a matter of fact, still in HS. I am interested in this topic, because at the end of the day, just like everyone else I cherish and treasure my freedom, and that freedom can be jeopardized when the blue and red lights appear in the rear view mirrors. I think every reasonable citizen would want to know what can happen during a prosecution. It is in my nature to be curious, I hope you won't hold that against me.

Quality and quantity at The Brampton
Me, my wife and 10 year old daughter had a very enjoyable 4 night stay at The Brampton guest house.
I'd asked Mark, the owner, if he could get us a parking permit that I could pick up on arrival, which he did with no fuss. We were greeted by his wife, Alyson, and were made extremely welcome throughout our stay. The room was spotless, and was tidied everyday, with beds made and cups cleaned. Ample tea and coffee making facilities were provided along with biscuits. The quality of the breakfast was as good as anywhere that I've stayed, and satisfied my very healthy appetite. I'd have no hesitation in recommending The Brampton to anyone.

A lovely B+B, in a side-street which means it's quieter than on the main road.
Great value and lovely owners, with a decent breakfast and clean in all areas, including the shower room, which was shared (between a few rooms) and a bit small but fine. Have stayed there before (Alyson asked me if I had- it was about 5 years ago. But she remembered the name) and will again.

State Rep. Frank Iler, R-Brunswick, said it was business as usual for the first week of the N.C. General Assembly's "short session," which convened last week in Raleigh.
"It was fairly common, I guess for the first week," Iler said last Thursday. "We didn't tackle anything big."
BOLIVIA—No tax increases. No new fees. No layoffs.
On Monday night, Brunswick County Manager Marty Lawing unveiled a recommended $196 million budget for the 2010-2011 fiscal year—1.3 percent less than the current fiscal year's budget—and it did not include a property tax increase, new fees or layoffs for county employees.
Butch Pope, the Whiteville defense attorney who ousted longtime incumbent Democrat District Attorney Rex Gore in the May 4 primary election, said recently, "We did even better than we had hoped," in the election.
Now, Pope said he's looking forward to November's General Election, where he will face GOP candidate Jon David, an assistant district attorney in New Hanover and Pender counties.
As Internet sweepstakes businesses proliferate in North Carolina, so does the possibility of increased fees.
Last month, the Carolina Shores Board of Commissioners approved an amendment imposing a $1,000-per-machine increase over the town's previous $50 fee.
And last week, Calabash commissioners discussed the possibility of increasing its own $5-per-machine fee.
BOLIVIA—Just in time for hurricane season, Brunswick County now has a new emergency management director.
On Monday, Brunswick County Manager Marty Lawing introduced Brunswick County's new emergency management director, Anthony Marzano.
Marzano, a certified emergency manager through the International Association for Emergency Mangers (IAEM), was most recently the deputy director of emergency management in Will County, Ill.
Americans for Prosperity, the Civitas Institute and numerous local grassroots organizations such as We the People of Brunswick County, will host the North Carolina Tea Party Summit this weekend in Wilmington.
Scheduled for 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, May 21, 8:15 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 22, and 1 p.m.-6 p.m. Sunday, May 23, the N.C. Tea Party Summit will be at the Wilmington Hilton in downtown Wilmington.
Joe Kronski, of We the People of Brunswick County, said the tea party summit is open to anyone who wants to attend.
Scott and Marlene Hahn of Holden Beach have heard rumors that gas prices will drop in the next few weeks, but since it's also the beginning of the tourist season in the South Brunswick Islands, they're not sure they believe it.
"Prices always go up in the summer, right?" Marlene Hahn commented, as she and Scott filled up at Family Fare/Caraco on Main Street in Shallotte recently.
Coastal Horizons mental health and substance abuse facility celebrated the opening of its Brunswick County location with a grand opening celebration Friday. The facility, located behind Ocean City Chevrolet in Shallotte, provides professional assistance including counseling, prevention and substance abuse services.
BOLIVIA—"My vision when nothing was there was to have a school that was built on respect and responsibility, in which they would be challenged intellectually, they would form relationships with adults among themselves and they would do projects and see the relevancy in the work that they do," Vicky Snyder, Early College High School (ECHS) principal, said.

Faculty Focus: "'Happiness' is Teaching across Disciplines"
LVC's emphasis on multidisciplinary study extends well beyond the classroom, with events designed to get students, faculty, and staff to reach beyond their departments in discussion of a broad-reaching topic.
In the spirit of these interdisciplinary studies, each year LVC faculty offer courses in collaboration with the annual Colloquium theme. Each fall, several First-Year Seminars are dedicated to the theme, and at least one Disciplinary Perspectives course connects to the Colloquium theme each spring.
In spring 2013, Dr. Michael Kitchens, assistant professor of psychology, taught "HAPPINESS," a Disciplinary Perspectives course relating to the annual Colloquium topic. A broad variety of majors were represented in this capstone course for juniors and seniors, including early childhood education, business, English, art & art history, psychology, history, and mathematical sciences. "We thought about happiness in a number of different ways," Kitchens said. "We looked at religious or spiritual aspects, money and economics in relationship to happiness, sociological and cultural aspects of happiness, and of course the psychological angle."
Kitchens noted that this kind of multidisciplinary examination of a topic is central to a liberal arts education. "What really marks an educated person is that he or she can converse intelligently across a number of different disciplines," he said. "At LVC we try to get students to touch base with many different areas."
It's good for faculty too, Kitchens noted. "Everybody can be in their own departments talking about their own topics, but we can all draw on this common Colloquium theme from different perspectives so we're not working in these kinds of silos," he said. "I think that can be difficult for faculty to do, because we know what we know and that's what we like to think about, but events such as the Colloquium can draw people out and help us work across disciplines."

Laneal Barnes is a handsome kid, with a smile so bright it could ignite a bonfire. He wants to be an artist, and eagerly displays a folder of his sketches.
Put into some environments – a Buckhead home or a good, solid working-class neighborhood in south Atlanta – Barnes would be shooting for the stars.
But Barnes' life has crashed into a few walls. He's deaf. He reads lips and speaks with labored care to mold words he can't hear for people who do hear. Barnes' mother abandoned him, and he ended up homeless. For three months, he has lived and worked at the Task Force for the Homeless – generally dubbed "Peachtree and Pine" after the prime downtown intersection where the agency is housed.
"I'm finally doing something with my life," Barnes says as he hurries about doing administrative chores for the Task Force. "I'm learning something new every day. I think maybe I can become an artist now."
The Task Force's home is a four-story building that's like many of its clients: It's fallen on hard times, but there's still life, character and potential underneath a layer of grime. Peachtree and Pine provides everything from emergency shelter to transitional housing to job coaching to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Its leaders – notably Task Force chief Anita Beaty – have ambitious plans to turn the building into a community asset with a restaurant and a roof garden that provide a real road for the homeless to regain their lives. Inside, it's not swank, but it's also not depressing. "We love our bathrooms; they're so clean," Beaty boasts as she gives a tour of the tidy interior of Peachtree and Pine.
Troy Harris is another Peachtree and Pine denizen. He became homeless after his domestic life fell apart. His teen years were spent selling drugs, but he'd changed vocations as an adult and had been climbing up life's ladder. He had a good job installing hot tubs, and was trying to work through a relationship while raising a child. "I got my girlfriend and kid into an apartment, and that was good," he says. "But in quick order, I lost my job, car and home."
Now Harris is the technology manager at the homeless facility. He points to 15 nicely organized desks, each with an old but working computer, where residents search online for jobs and try to put their shattered lives back together. "When I got here, there was only one of these computers that worked," he says with pride.
There's a battle being waged at Peachtree and Pine. Put another way, there are several parallel universes that converge there. In each, different skirmishes are plotted and executed.
In one universe, the clash pits Atlanta's legions of workers and tourists against the street people. While the Task Force polices its building, it doesn't police the homeless who gather on nearby streets. Pedestrians make dashes for their offices or restaurants while dodging panhandlers who utilize tactics that range from guilt to intimidation.
Another continuum takes the street-level discordance to the level of public policy. The Task Force has had a tumultuous relationship with the city; Beaty can be both charming to her supporters, but abrasive to her critics. Before the 1996 Olympic Games, the homeless advocates sued Atlanta officials – and won – over 9,000 harassment arrests of homeless people. "The city had declared that being poor was illegal," Beaty says, noting that Atlanta recently has revived one of its most devilish tactics, giving the homeless one-way bus tickets out of town.
After the Olympics, the magnitude of the homeless problem was greatly amplified by the city's policies of tearing down housing projects and encouraging gentrification – both of which slashed into the availability of affordable housing.
The two sides eventually made up after the lawsuit. A 2004 city resolution commended the agency and noted that as many as 68,000 Atlantans experience homelessness at least one day each year, and that 63 homeless people – many of them women and children – had died on the streets that year. The city resolution pointed to the root causes: "poverty coupled with substance abuse and major mental illness [and] a lack of affordable housing."
Now, in a power play over money, the city has turned against the shelter. The charge is led by a business group, Central Atlanta Progress, City Councilman Kwanza Hall and Mayor Shirley Franklin's office.
Nothing is ever black and white, however. Under the guidance of Franklin's homelessness point person, former City Councilwoman Debi Starnes, the city plans hundreds of units of low-incoming housing at Fort McPherson when the Army leaves. While commendable, there will be no temporary shelters and services such as the Task Force provides.
The mayor's office has tried to grab control of federal HUD funds and state grants, a move designed to torpedo the Task Force. At stake is about $500,000 of the Task Force's $1.3 million annual budget. Franklin's chief of staff, Greg Pridgeon, wrote state funding officials in May and declared Peachtree and Pine was a "failed strategy." Starnes says she "believes [Beaty] is harming the homeless." And Hall opines that his District 2 constituents "are concerned Peachtree and Pine isn't a good neighbor."
The Task Force's development director, Jules Dykes, shoots back: "It's shameful what the city is doing. What's doubly challenging is that the people who speak out so loudly and strongly against what we're doing have never been here to see how much is being accomplished." Among those who haven't had time to visit is Mayor Franklin.
According to Task Force board member (and former city councilwoman) Gloria Bromell-Tinubu, Hall told her before a council committee meeting last month that Peachtree and Pine should dissolve itself, sell its building and send the homeless men out to work on farms. "Vile and vicious," Beaty says of Hall, who didn't dispute making the comment to Bromell-Tinubu.
The final combat at Peachtree and Pine is ideological. The AJC's neocon opinion commissar, Jim Wooten, last week blamed homelessness on "choices" people make – which certainly would surprise Laneal Barnes and Troy Harris. "Move them off the street," Wooten groused in a column.
Anita Beaty, noting that she is a person of deep faith, had another take. "There is a human right, and it is a right," she says, "to housing, health care and education. That's what we're all about."

Qaddafi, Son and Former Defense Aide Buried in Secret PlaceBreaking News
MISURATA, Libya — After four days on public display in a meat locker here, the slowly decomposing corpses of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, one of his sons and his former defense minister were buried in a predawn funeral at a secret location on Tuesday, a top military official said.
The official, Ibrahim Beitalmal, leader of the military intelligence branch in Misurata, said relatives of the three men, including a nephew of Colonel Qaddafi, Mahmoud Hamid, were permitted to attend the burials. Cellphone photos of the ceremony showed three bodies wrapped in white shrouds and placed in coffins of thin wood.

Thousands of Fish Killed by Red Tide Off Florida Coast
Published: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 8:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 8:57 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE | Florida wildlife officials say a large offshore fish kill in the northeast Gulf of Mexico is being caused by a red tide.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says citizens have reported thousands of dead or dying reef fish like grouper, hogfish and snapper as well as sea turtles and crabs.
Using satellite images, FWC found an 80-mile long, 50-mile-wide surface bloom of red tide offshore of Dixie and Pasco counties.
FWC scientists collected samples of fish, water and looked at water quality data and confirmed that the red tide organism Karenia brevis is to blame.
FWC says the organism is naturally occurring and has been documented in the Gulf for hundreds of years.

Note: the shirt has a sort of ribbing, (if that's the right word) down the centre, which looks good in pictures, but renders the strip a tad thinner than the surrounding parts. So owners should be careful not to snag that on anything, or it may rip. All in all though, 10/10, will buy again. :) ... read more
Looks and feels just like the Authentic jersey, aside from the materials of the crest and the CLIMACOOL printing on the bottom left side, this jersey feels like an authentic jersey. Amazing quality and comfort. ... read more

Great jacket, but it is SlimFit. I wear size Large on adidas jackets, so I decided to stick to my size on this item. The sleeves run true to size, but I can't close the main front zipper. It doesn't bother me because I wear my Madrid jersey under my jacket, but it would be nice to be able to close that main front zipper. Other than that, very happy with this purchase. ... read more
I've owned these sweat pants for a little while now mostly as gym pants. Have washed them a couple times as well and they still hold up great. Very comfortable and I don't get too warm during my lifts. I'm 5'8" and have a 30" waist. I ordered a small and the length is perfect, they end right at the bottom of my ankles. ... read more
I have purchased all of the recent German shirts and always look forward to the "next one". This one is not my favourite but I still love it in spite of this. The detailing on the sleeves is too subtle in my opinion - I think the years could have bolder in the German colours perhaps. All in all though, a fab looking shirt and excellent service form Adidas as ever. Prima! ... read more
The 2015/2016 kit fits so much more different than the 2014/2015. The sizes seem to run smaller but fit better to the body. The left picture shows the 2014/2015 replica Large I have while the right one is the new 2015/2016 replica Medium. I'm a 5'8 165lb guy. ... read more

As expected, good quality and delivery service is great. However, what made me sad that is that i wasn't able to personalize it because Adidas decided not to personalize the old jersey anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why ?? i don't know. ... read more

Youth Illicit Drug Use Prevention:
DARE Long-Term Evaluations and Federal Efforts to Identify Effective Programs
GAO-03-172R: Published: Jan 15, 2003. Publicly Released: Jan 15, 2003.

This report contains information on (1) the results of evaluations on the long-term effectiveness of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (DARE) elementary school curriculum in preventing illicit drug use among children and (2) federal efforts to identify programs that are effective in preventing illicit drug use among children.
The six long-term evaluations of the DARE elementary school curriculum that we reviewed found no significant differences in illicit drug use between students who received DARE in the fifth or sixth grade (the intervention group) and students who did not (the control group). Three of the evaluations reported that the control groups of students were provided other drug use prevention education. All of the evaluations suggested that DARE had no statistically significant long-term effect on preventing youth illicit drug use. Of the six evaluations we reviewed, five also reported on students' attitudes toward illicit drug use and resistance to peer pressure and found no significant differences between the intervention and control groups over the long term. Two of these evaluations found that the DARE students showed stronger negative attitudes about illicit drug use and improved social skills about illicit drug use about 1 year after receiving the program. These positive effects diminished over time. HHS and Education have identified several programs that show evidence of effectiveness in preventing youth substance abuse and promoted their use in schools and communities. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within HHS and Education use expert panels to review program information that the programs' developers or others submit and rank the programs on several criteria, such as the scientific rigor of their evaluations and the overall usefulness of their findings for preventing substance abuse. Only those programs that produce a consistent pattern of positive results that have been verified scientifically are recognized as effective, according to SAMHSA. HHS has also identified other programs supported by HHS-funded research, that show evidence of effectiveness in preventing substance abuse among youth. Specifically, within NIH, officials from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and scientists who conduct NIDA-funded research identified effective drug use prevention programs that were scientifically evaluated and have demonstrated positive results over time. HHS and Education disseminate descriptions of effective programs to practitioners, schools, and the general public. In addition to the effective programs, each of the agencies also has identified programs that, based on initial results, show promise in preventing substance abuse among youth. However, the outcomes of these programs either have not yet been verified scientifically or have not consistently demonstrated positive results in preventing or reducing substance use, according to the agencies. The agencies also disseminate lists of these programs.

Mike Huckabee issued his statement on same sex marriage in Arkansas, and it's particularly scathing:
Judge Chris Piazza, a circuit court judge in my home state of Arkansas, decided that he is singularly more powerful than the 135 elected legislators of the state, the elected Governor, and 75% of the voters of the state. Apparently he mistook his black robe for a cape and declared himself to be "SUPER LAWMAKER!"
...By virtually ordering same sex marriage to begin immediately, which in fact happened in at least one Arkansas county on the morning after Judge Piazza's Friday night massacre of the law and the will of the people, he positioned himself as if he were all 3 branches of government and declared the voters immaterial. The Governor should call a special session of the legislature and impeach the judge and affirm the people's will.
I guess we all know what side of history Huckabee is on.

I think the Coral Reef in Myrtle Beach has great service. The audio on our TV went out so I called the front desk who told me someone would be up in a little while to check our TV. I was suprised to see the repair man within 5 minutes who tried to fix the volume but had no luck. He left and was back in 10 minutes with a new TV, great service. The employees in the resturants were very nice and the food was pretty good. The elevators were quick but they could use a good cleaning. Rooms were a good value, the bathtubs were great. A little confusing to get around the resort because it its so big. Parking was great. I would highly recommend the Coral Reef to families and to couples. The worst thing about the place is they want everyone to wear a ID braclet while on the property, not very attractive.

Philanthropic activities often yield unexpected community development. Nebraska Philanthropy: Investing In Our Future explores that relationship. What began as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization in North Platte has turned into a destination event for railroad enthusiasts from all over the world. In Prague, brothers Jeremy and Justin Stanislav have created an annual mud volleyball tournament that helps women battle breast cancer while bringing people and attention to their hometown. Through it's Hometown Competitiveness model, the Nebraska Community Foundation is helping Holt County attract young entrepreneurs to the region. And the Nebraska Children's Home Society reaps the benefit of a $4 Million gift, 120 years in the making.
