Fontana dei Pazzi information
In front of the 14th-century Palazzo del Bargello , the city's police station and prison in medieval times, stands the Fontana dei Pazzi (Fountain of the Lunatics), so-named because of a belief that you'll go mad if you run around it three times. On summer weekends, the number of visitors carrying out this ritual does indeed pose questions about the collective sanity!

My husband has a bad habit of throwing his U.S. Passport into his messenger bag and running off to the airport for a business trip. Inevitably, whatever else that's in his bag ends up sticking to or falling out when he unearths his document. He says he doesn't like most passport holders because they don't really seem like "him," (too colorful, too synthetic, too tech-y, fancy, etc) so in lieu of protecting his important travel document, he'd rather have the pages messed up by an errant book or a rogue bottle of water. Sigh.
I discovered a handsome leather J.W. Hulme passport holder the other day that is masculine and cool -- and still performs the job of keeping your doc secure while slip pockets on right side can tuck away a few credit/business cards. Monogramming? Naturally.

This bibliography, maintained by Jeff Pooley, contains over 2200 English-language works on the history of communication research and cognate fields. The backbone of the bibliography is CiteULike, the powerful (if unlovely) citation sharing service.
For inclusion, a published work has to present itself as history, and then meet one of two criteria: (1) to self-describe its subject as "communication" research and/or (2) address research that is judged to be centered on mediated or face-to-face communication.
Tags have been assigned to each entry according to its relevant attributes, including (1) historiographical approach (e.g., "biographical" or "institutional"), (2) geography (e.g., "Canada" or "Venezuela"), (3) disciplinary frame of reference, or orientation to a field-within-the-field (e.g., "sociology" or "rhetoric"), (4) substantive topic, subfield, or figure (e.g., "audience research" or "McLuhan"), (5) institutional location (e.g., "Leicester" or "Columbia"), and (6) the historical or geopolitical context (e.g., "1920s" or "Cold War").

Pokémon Rumble Blast, known in the PAL region as Super Pokémon Rumble and known in Japan as Super Pokémon Scramble (スーパーポケモンスクランブル Supa Pokémon Sukuranburu?),[5] is an action video game in the Pokémon series for the Nintendo 3DS. It was the first Pokémon game released for Nintendo 3DS. The game was released in Japan on August 11, 2011,[1] in North America on October 24, 2011[2] and in Europe on December 2, 2011.[6] It is a successor to the 2009 WiiWare release Pokémon Rumble.
The game was re-released as a Nintendo eShop digital download for the PAL region on November 29, 2012[4] and in North America on December 20, 2012.
Pokémon Rumble Blast features similar gameplay to its predecessor Pokémon Rumble, in which the player's Pokémon explores various areas while battling enemy Pokémon. A boss Pokémon awaits at the end of each dungeon and the difficulty of each boss increases as the player progresses throughout the game. In this game there are towns in the area and each town has machines where you can buy new moves, release Pokémon when you have too many, and a fountain filled with Glowdrops that heal your Pokémon. In the game, Glowdrops are disappearing and you have to find out who took them and catch them.[7][8] This game includes Toy Pokémon from the first five generations.[9]
Pokémon Rumble Blast also comes with the option to play against others wirelessly using StreetPass tagging.[7] This allows the player to see other player's Pokémon and Miis.[10]
|This section requires expansion. (January 2014)
The play starts in Toy Town where they are introduced to the mechanics of the game and the Battle Royale. After winning the Battle Royale, Toy Town's Glowdrops have found to have been stolen.
Pokémon Rumble Blast received mixed reviews, with an aggregate review score of 56 on Metacritic.[11] Audrey Drake of IGN gave the game a 6.5/10, concluding her review, "As a whole, Pokémon Rumble Blast certainly has more to offer than its predecessor. With more to do, way more Pokémon to collect and far more areas to explore, the game certainly represents a step forward for the series - just not a big enough one. The unrefined graphics and bare bones presentation, paired with the already skimpy gameplay, make for a package that really should have been a 3DSWare title rather than a full release. If simple fun and the inclusion of Pokémon is all you're looking for, then Rumble Blast is the game for you."[12] Nintendo Power gave the game's highest review score (and the only "positive" review by Metacritic standards) of 7.5/10, summarizing that the game "is a somewhat shallow experience, but the simple action and short levels make it a good pick-up-and-play portable game."[11] The Official Nintendo Magazine gave the game a 68% saying that the game was a little too thin for a full release.[13]

Pitt opens spring with another new look
Pitt opens spring practice Thursday morning with yet another new coaching staff, another new scheme, and more questions than answers.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, this has become a familiar story line. Going on their fourth head coach since the end of the 2010 season — five if you count interim coach Keith Patterson — has brought Pitt its fair share of negative ink, along with upheaval for players who have to adjust to new coordinators and terminology all over again.
Offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph says QB Tino Sunseri should be effective in Pittsburgh's new offensive system this season.
Nobody is quite sure what to expect. That goes for new head coach Paul
, who embarks on his first practice as a head coach.
understands there will be a "feeling out period" for the players to get to know the coaches and vice
, along with the natural anxiety that comes along with figuring out what is being asked.
Pitt is going back to a more traditional offensive style, and switching back to the 4-3 defensive scheme that Pitt has historically run with success. The good news is that the majority of the players on the team were recruited to play those particular styles. The bad news is their brains may feel like football mush given all the tumult of the last year.
But the spring is always a time for renewal and hope for every team, and every position. That goes for quarterback, where
will be under the microscope for the third straight season. Though the Pitt defense has many more holes to fill,
cannot go through an interview without being asked about
, and what he can do to improve himself should he be the starter again.
"I'm glad he's here,"
said. "I'm looking forward to working with him. I know Brooks (
) is, I know Joe (Rudolph) is. We're fired up about that."
never got adjusted to the hurry-up spread system former coach Todd Graham installed, and withstood withering criticism not only from fans but from Graham himself. Never once did
lash out or complain. He took every single hit on the field and off the field and kept coming back up. Rudolph, the newly installed offensive coordinator, believes
has a skill-set the Panthers can utilize effectively this season.
"You look at the offense that we run, we had two really different quarterbacks in the last two years at Wisconsin," Rudolph said in a phone interview. "You had Scott
and you had
Russell Wilson
, and you wouldn't watch film and mistake those guys for each other. They're different, but both had great success. You can have people with different skill sets, but if you teach them to make good decisions and grow the offense to highlight their skill set, they have a chance to be successful. That's what you feel about
. He has the skill set. Now it's can he make those decisions, can you be consistent, can you play within the offense? We'll find out."
The offensive line in front of him was an area of weakness last season, having to fight through injuries and inexperience as well as a scheme that did not lend itself to their strengths. But last season can stay there as far as
is concerned.
"I didn't spend a lot of time watching or caring what their scheme was last year," he said.
Run-blocking generally suits an offensive lineman better than pass-blocking, so there is hope -- especially if
is able to
translate the success
he had with the ground game at Wisconsin to the Panthers.
Ray Graham
is out for the spring, but that gives some young players an opportunity to gain some reps and earn playing time come the fall.
Isaac Bennett
Corey Davis
Malcolm Crockett
will get a majority of the carries.
Defensively, Pitt has to replace linemen
Brandon Lindsey
, along with leading tackler
, and needs to work on depth along the line and at linebacker, the two positions that took the biggest hits. Starting linebacker
Todd Thomas
also will be out for the spring.
So yes, there is plenty of work to be done on both sides of the ball.
and his staff are eager to get started on building this team — for the long run.

A new chapter in human history: Startling discovery of Stone Age cavemen in China who 'are an entirely new species'
- 'Red deer people' lived 14,500-11,500 years ago in Asia
- Previously thought that homo sapiens had continent to themselves
- 'Highly unusual' mixture of ancient and modern - could be new species
- Could also be relic of early migration out of Africa which died out
Four Stone Age people found in caves in China could be a entirely new species of humanoid - and the discovery 'opens a new chapter' in the history of evolution, say archaeologists.
The fossils, found in two caves, belong to a previously unknown Stone Age people and have a 'highly unusual' mixture of ancient and modern features.
Named the 'Red Deer people' because of the animals they hunted and dating from between 14,500 to 11,500 years ago, they are the youngest humanoid fossils to be found in Asia.
Previously it had been thought that early humans had little competition in the continent.
Four mystery cavemen dug up in China could be a new species of humanoid, scientists say. The fossils, found in two caves, belong to a previously unknown Stone Age people
One of the skulls found in 'Red Deer Cave' in China - researchers say that the skulls have a mixture of ancient and modern features
The 'Red Deer' discovery has 'startling implications for the early peopling of Asia', said Professor Curnoe, of the University of New South Wales.
They would have shared the land with modern looking humans at a time when China's earliest farming culture was beginning, he said.
Writing in journal PLoS One, Prof Curnoe explained: 'These new fossils might be of a previously unknown species, one that survived until the very end of the Ice Age around 11,000 years ago.
He said: 'The discovery of the red-deer people opens the next chapter in the human evolutionary story - the Asian chapter - and it's a story that's just beginning to be told.'
'Alternatively, they might represent a very early and previously unknown migration of modern humans out of Africa, a population who may not have contributed genetically to living people.'
Three sets of remains were found at Maludong - Red Deer Cave' - in the Yunnan province in 1989. They were unstudied until 2008.
Analysis of skulls in the 'Red Deer' cave in China hints that the people might be a new species of humanoid
Early humans in the BBC series Planet of the Apeman: The 'Red Deer' people could have come from an early - and undocumented - migration of humans from Africa
A fourth was found in 1979 a cave near the village on Lonling in neighbouring Guangxi Zhuang province. It was encased in rock until 2009.
The skulls and teeth from both finds are very similar to each other and show an unusual mixture of archaic and modern anatomical features, as well as previously unseen characteristics.
Scientists have named them 'red deer people' because evidence suggests that they hunted extinct red deer and cooked them in the Maludong cave.
Until the discovery, no fossils younger than 100,000 years old had been found in mainland east Asia other than those of our own species, Homo sapiens.
This suggested that Homo sapiens had the run of the area which was devoid of our evolutionary ancestors once the first humans appeared.
But the new find suggests this may not have been the case.
Professor Ji Xueping, of the Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, said: 'Because of the geographical diversity caused by the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, south-west China is well known as a biodiversity hotspot and for its great cultural diversity.
'That diversity extends well back in time.'
In the last ten years scientists have discovered the enigmatic 'Hobbit' fossil in Asia as well as evidence modern humans interbred with ancient Denisovans, a species from Siberia.
The latest find shows there is more to learn from the continent, said Prof Curnoe.

Here's a running list of trade rumors around the Major Leagues: – Left hander Francisco Liriano could be a good fit for the Angels according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports and apparently they're willing to trade him. Torii Hunter said that Liriano could end up with the Angels this season. "Don't be surprised. He's been on our radar the last two years. Liriano would be pretty good. They like Liriano over here." – Jon Heyman of CBSSports says that the Orioles, Athletics, Indians, Pirates and Dodgers are among the teams interested in third baseman Chase Headley. He adds that the A's are apparently frontrunners. – The Washington Nationals could be looking for "high-end and mid-level starters" available for trades according to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports. He says that the Nationals "have the farm system, finances and motivation to make something happen." – The Boston Red Sox are not only interested in Marlins' Anibal Sanchez, but Josh Johnson too according to Joe McDonald of ESPNBoston.com. Sanchez apparently has a good relationship with Red Sox's GM, Ben Cherington, because he was the Farm Director when they traded Sanchez to the Marlins in exchange of Josh Beckett. – According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSprots, the Toronto Blue Jays are still looking for a starting pitcher.

Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun, appearing Monday night on WGN Sports Central with Dave Kaplan, said he expects the Cubs and Orioles to reach agreement on a trade involving Brian Roberts in "a week to ten days."
Zrebiec disagreed with Kaplan's suggestion that the talks have "heated up" in the past few days; he thinks the discussions have been on a steady, low simmer since they began. Bottom line: Zrebiec said he's confident Roberts will be in Cub blue by Opening Day.
As to who the Cubs might be shipping east or at least whom the O's might want, the usual names were brought up: Gallagher, Cedeno and/or Patterson, Pie, Ceda. (No mention of Donald Veal.) Zrebiec said the O's are especially high on Gallagher and see him as a potential #3 or maybe even a #2 starter. No such love for Matt Murton, however. According to the writer, the Orioles think Murton will require 400-500 at-bats a season to be an effective MLB hitter, which he won't get in Baltimore if he's part of a platoon arrangement with, say, former Astro Luke Scott.
On an unrelated front...
Kaplan also spoke tonight with Chicago Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin. In the course of that conversation, Kaplan said his sources tell him that the Cubs are talking deal with a major, Chicago-based corporation which would pay less than the $40 million bandied about for naming rights. The company would be paying for "significant" signage all over the ballpark but would voluntarily forego renaming the park and in a selfless gesture of corporate goodness, allow the place to remain "Wrigley Field."
Nice folks, those selfless, major Chicago corporate guys.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Robert Rumor Mill Churns On
the brian roberts trade saga has more lives than a crappy middle infielder on Jim Hendry's libido.
Dusty's new Neifi's - Corey Patterson/Jerry Hairston Jr.
Re: Dusty's new Neifi's - Corey Patterson/Jerry Hairston Jr.
Wow... I don't really get it.
I really don't get how K-Pat's best offer was a minor league contract.
Don't get me wrong - KPat isn't going to be an all-star anytime soon, but he is good enough to get some legitimate offers, and even opportunities to start.
Wrigley Renaming
"Nice folks, those selfless, major Chicago corporate guys."
Sounds like in this case, you are right. I hope this is true.
This damn Roberts saga
feels like it's lasted longer than the whole Santana and Bedard trades put together.
I'm still peeking at the MVN blog to see if there are a few stragglers over there, but I think we've been able to pull them out of the water and brought them over here.
Mostly just flies there now.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
I wish they'd hurry up and get this trade done, no way we can play this season with only 5 second basemen.
Do we know how he fits into the team or are we just obsessed because it's a trade? I'm cool with that, I just want to know. Obviously, the point of the trade is for his bat, since we're not exactly hurting at 2B, does Derosa move to SS? Roberts to CF?
Re: Roberts deal
If we end up giving Cedeno, Marshall/Gallagher, and EPat/Veal, then I'd be okay with that. Gallagher would be nice to hang on to but you have to give up something to get it. EPat's great but he's blocked in OF and can't play 2B in the Cubs' mind. If it's more than that, we ought to pass. I think Roberts would upgrade the team noticeably in terms of his speed and the resulting readjustment of the lineup, but I don't want to give up Pie or any other key part to get him. I think this team still could use a bit more of an offensive upgrade, but I think SP may be our weakness this year.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
I'm hoping the O's are looking for a pitcher. Seems like we have an extra or two of those laying around.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Pinhead starting to realize at 10 HR high OBP guy is better at #2 than #3 in the lineup... Guess he got 'comfortable' quick.
The best thing about the Roberts trade is that it will keep Theriot and Pie down at the bottom of the lineup, when Theriot does play. You would have to think that Patterson at second was for the Orioles scouts. Cedeno and Patterson as the keystone combo would at least make fans happier about losing Robertson (hey, we got two starters for 1!), and I think in that relatively low pressure situation the two of them will do well, so Manny can complain more about Hendry. Maybe Fox is on their radar with the way he's hit so far in the spring. He doesn't seem to have a place to play with us, but Baltimore could get him time at LF/1B/DH if they like him.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
The title says it all. I wish the rumors would just go away. How many times do I need to be told that the Orioles want Gallagher, Marhsall, Cedeno, Murton, and my mom?
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Well, who DOESN'T want your mom? Hiyoooooo!
Yeah, it's pretty tiresome at this point. Everything that happens until he's a Cub has become white noise.
Your Mom?
How's her arm?
Well - it has taken me a while, but I now would agree with most of your assessments - Ryan Theriot is not very good.
Between he and Cedeno, as it stands, he'll make less mistakes in the field.
Probably, batting 8th he'd be ok.
As for Pie, he STILL is not ready for Prime Time. My guess: HEndry is trying to make a deal for Crisp. Perhaps Marquis would be the guy to go?
Re: Your Mom?
She's in the 45 - 49mph range, but she's crafty.
Re: Your Mom?
Your mom is Jamie Moyer? Cool!
Re: Your Mom?
No, she's a righty. That's why she's out of a job. Now if she was a lefty, I'm sure she'd be in someone's rotation at this point, despite being 50+ years old.
Re: Your Mom?
"As for Pie, he STILL is not ready for Prime Time. My guess: HEndry is trying to make a deal for Crisp. Perhaps Marquis would be the guy to go?"
I am not a Jason Marquis fan but we need to be careful about trading him right now. I hated his comments the other day, but there is no denying that he helped carry our SP staff last April and May. We also don't know what we are going to get out of Lieber and Dempster in the starting roles. We also don't know if Marshall's stiff shoulder will hold up for an entire season...plus we already have two lefties with big breaking balls and a high fast ball
Re: Theriot
"Well - it has taken me a while, but I now would agree with most of your assessments - Ryan Theriot is not very good."
Welcome to the club. Let's just all hope that if we do trade for Roberts, Piniella realizes that DeRosa is the better option at SS.
Re: Theriot
That makes a lot of sense except DeRo can't play SS! DeRo is what 33 y/o and has less range than he had with the Braves where he occasionally played SS. He is a poor defensive second baseman and now we will ask him to man the SS position. I am suprised that you did not suggest Murton over Theriot.
Re: Theriot
"That makes a lot of sense except DeRo can't play SS!"
Theriot is below average at SS, both defensively and offensively. It is tough to think DeRosa would be more anything more than a slight downgrade defensively, if that, but a clear upgrade offensively, more than making up the possible defensive downgrade.
Re: Theriot
Manny - that's very logical! So basically there is no basis to your conclusion just that you think that DeRo can't be worse than Theriot. Look I know you hate Theriot and I am not here to defend him because its useless but unless we have someone better to play SS I don't see what all this crying is going to get you.
Re: Theriot
How many times do we have to have this same conversation? I mean seriously, what's the point? Is it your goal to bash Theriot as much as possible? Do you think you will eventually wear everyone down and convince everyone who visits TCR that you are right? Even if you do that, what do you really gain?
Just remember last year you were saying the same stuff about DeRosa. You hated the signing, said he should never be a starter, thought he would contribute to a very weak bottom third of the order, etc.
And I'm not criticizing you for being wrong. We've all been wrong. It's just that after being wrong most of us realize there is that possibility when talking about the next guy. You act like Theriot is the worst offensive and defensive shortstop we could find and that you will 100% be proven correct as the season goes on. I for one hope he has a tremendous year.
Re: Theriot
He is a poor defensive second baseman
Since when is DeRosa is a poor defensive 2b?
Re: Theriot
Since Rory got on this kick that DeRosa can't play SS.
Steve Stone Gets a Full Time Gig...
...as the White Sox radio color analyst. Chris Singleton is going to Baseball Tonight and Steve will be taking over for him.
Re: Steve Stone Gets a Full Time Gig...
Steve Stone is the best baseball analyst I just wish the Cubs had the brains to bring him back. Now I have to watch the Sox!
Re: Steve Stone Gets a Full Time Gig...
"Now I have to watch the Sox!"
Have fun with that. Make sure to fill us in every once in awhile on how Ozzieball is going.
Re: Steve Stone Gets a Full Time Gig...
Of course if you watch the Sox, you'll need to turn down the volume on the tv and turn up the volume on the radio to hear Stoney.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Only six bids in the CBOE seat auction so far.
Re: Steve Stone
Stone with Ozzie and the White Sox = a match made in heaven!!
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Brett Favre has retired.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Brett Favre has retired.
maybe Hendry will sign him...he throws harder then Lieber...observers of his fastball say he's throwing "cheese"
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Farve in the 5th spot..lol
On another note I hope this naming rights crap goes away soon and we can get on to the business of who will actually own our team and winning a WS.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
You stationed at Ft. Campbell I assume airassault?
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Contract talks have slowed between Favre and the Cubs...apparently they will not let him wear Wranglers when he pitches. The Cubs are also unsure of how affective his best pitch will be...the running underhand flip/toss
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
I think that might be a balk.
Out for what could be two weeks or more.
I knew when i found out in Parachat that he broke part of his finger he would be out longer than the 5-7 days they initially reported. You just can't mess with the fingers on a batter, it screws up how they swing the bat and it needs to heal. 5-7 days much less 2 weeks isnt going to heal this type of injury.
Re: Soriano
Well now he gets to rest his legs too.
So in basically one year, Korey went from being the target of Disty's ire against youth and now is a "proven veteran" with speed and "intangible" skills...Because, y'know, that Jay Bruce guy is kinda unproven.
The Reds could have been a dangerous team in this division if they committed to Phillips, Votto, Bruce, Encarnacion in the field and Bailey and Cuerto as starters. But it looks like a slow-motion train wreck.
Re: Korey
Talk radio here in the Natti is questioning the signing because Norris Hopper and Ryan Freel have higher OBP and are both speedy. I'm not sure where Hairston fits in except maybe to give BPhillips a day off here and there...
Re: Korey
Rest assured. Freel will see plenty of time ahead of Encarnacion, and Hopper will handle left when Dunn goes to 1st base to play ahead of Votto. This is just Dusty covering his bases. Has anyone seen Wayne Krivksy and Jim Hendry in the same room yet? They might actually be the same guy.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Dunn can't play first base. They tried that when Sean Casey left town. He's not leaving LF as brutal as he is out there.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Yeah. It won't be Dunn blocking Votto at 1B. It'll be Scott Hatteberg. I bet the Reds will on a weekly basis field a line-up of Hairston at 2B, Keppinger at 3B, Korey in CF, Hatteberg at 1B, and even sometimes Hairston in RF to give Griffey a breather.
Naming Rights
Should we start a contest, trying to find out what "major Chicago-based corporation" is?
I'm thinking it's Ferrara Pan Candy. Lemonheads Park at Wrigley Field. The Atomic Fireball Bullpen. The Jaw Busters Broadcast Booth. The Black Forest Gummies Ivy.
Re: Naming Rights
Re: Naming Rights
I can imagine McDonald's might be a big player. Hamburglar stolen bases, Ronald McDonald Woo Woo, Homeskillet breakfast home runs...
Re: Naming Rights
Really can't wait for the Trib/Zell to get the hell out of the picture. Having an owner that isn't at all culpable to the fan base (or the future of the team) isn't a good thing.
Re: Naming Rights
Here's a list of "major" corporations in the city and suburbs:
Obviously, some aren't large enough and others aren't doing well enough to buy naming rights. It's somewhat of a long shot, but I'm guessing Allstate.
Re: Naming Rights
Sam Zell = Mr. Potter from Its a Wonderful Life
Re: Naming Rights
Allstate might make sense, but they already have the naming rights to a stadium here in Chicago, Allstate Arena in Rosemont (used to be the Rosemont Horizon, and I still call it that).
Re: Naming Rights
I really wonder about the economics of stadium naming deals. It's hard to believe that putting $20MM/year into a stadium name is better marketing than putting the same $20MM into traditional advertising campaigns -- particularly with a stadium like Wrigley where purchasing the naming rights is likely to buy you more bad press than good.
Re: Naming Rights
I have to believe that it's a corporate pecker contest. They have money to burn and so they make themselves feel important by putting their name on big buildings.
Re: Naming Rights
Good point Chad! And they get the VIP treatment with skyboxes, tickets, meet & greet with players, etc. for them, their families, their employees and clients.
Re: Naming Rights
I'm guessing the deal will be to call it something like "Wrigley Field presented by Motorola"
Re: Naming Rights
Please let them try to name it Tootsie Roll Park...
Re: Please let them try to name it Tootsie Roll Park...
It'd be more of a natural for them to sponsor the toilet stalls.
Re: Naming Rights
Better bet will be something like Viagra or Cialis.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Sounds like Dusty thinks it is solely the Cubs fault that Corey has been a bust....
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Krane Kinney was on ESPN 1000
Can't promise that Wrigley Field will be part of new name if they sell name rights.
Zell appoved
-Z's contract
-Field fix up
-Fukudome contract
Cubs have hold up on two trades (one for you know who) both are being held up by odd circumstances (looking at you Angelo). He wouldn't name names obvisouly so don't know about the second trade.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Could the second trade be contingent on the "you know who" trade?
Re: Zell
I agree 100% vorare. Sadly, it doesn't look like he is in any hurry though. They announced this last year on opening Day i think, and I was hoping it would be all done by this Opening Day, but now I am hoping it could be done by the end of the season. We already will be having a lame duck GM possibly making trades at the deadline, let's hope we get new ownership in by the end of the year, so we can have a set plan, personnel and management going into the offseason.
We already will be having a lame duck GM
I thought Hendry has an option to extend himself one more year.
Re: We already will be having a lame duck GM
Aren't there pills for that?
Re: We already will be having a lame duck GM
Hendry did have an option that was possible based on completion of the Tribune sale, so his contract goes through 2009. That was reported by Bruce Levine during one of his AM 1000 radio reports.
Re: We already will be having a lame duck GM
"Hendry did have an option that was possible based on completion of the Tribune sale, so his contract goes through 2009. That was reported by Bruce Levine during one of his AM 1000 radio reports."
That is not what the Sun Times said a couple days ago.
Basically it says that the team would need to be sold, which it has not yet. So if it takes till after the season, Hendry's contract would expire and the option disappear. But I guess we can thank the lovely McFail for that doosy of a option. McFail is the gift that keeps on giving. You'd think giving him a gift extension on his way out would have been enough. I wonder what other little surprised there are. But all that being said, I would be pleasantly surprised if they do in fact not extend Hendry for 1 year if no new owner is set by year's end.
Re: Hendry
Good take on Hendry getting an extension.
I can't see Zell or the Trib letting him go if the new ownership is not in place by year's end, so it is very likely Teflon Jim will slide by for another year. Hurry the f*** up, Zell!!!
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
"but unless we have someone better to play SS I don't see what all this crying is going to get you."
We do, it is DeRosa, and I am not "crying". Not yet at least, but maybe another year of Theriot at SS will get me there...:)
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
The reply button is your friend...
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Lets just go ahead and forget DeRosa can't play SS, and sucks at playiing it when he does now at his age.
What is it with Cubs fans and them latching onto a player who once played a position briefly and believing he can suddenly step into that position and play 162 games of baseball.
I still have flashbacks of when people swore up and down Jeff Kent should be signed for second base and then be told he is gonna play 3rd, cuz he briefly played it at sometime in his past.
Every year its someone new. This year its Manny and DeRosa. Seriously when does Fukudome for SS watch start?
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
Todd Helton in LF.
I read that Reds article and you got Jay Bruce believing he has going to get a legit chance to win an OF spot. And then you got Dusty all complaining how Corey was rushed.
So Jay Bruce at age 20, competition for the OF is over for you now that Corey and Hairston are on the team. So sorry, dont want to rush you, like Dusty said.
Votto, 24
Bailey, 21
LOL...Gonna be fun watching Dusty find excuses not to play them.
Re: Nobody Knows Nuthin': The Roberts Rumor Mill Churns On
I think a package with Marquis would make a lot of sense for Roberts. Will the O's give him a guarantee that he starts? "His value doesn't lie in the bullpen"
Jason Marquis

Sure, no marks and some inconsistencies in the witness's statements. But firing your gun into garage wall immediately after an argument and punching out your car window is still threatening and out of control behavior. There was certainly enough for MLB to think it warranted a 30-game suspension.
I'd prefer they be flexible with the closing situation depending on matchups. You're not really adding a lefty reliever if you use him strictly as a closer.
Stockpiling young talent isn't only for trading for someone like Chapman though. Even with an elite closer winning the World Series is basically a crap shoot so the key is to get to the playoffs as much as possible and not just mortgage everything on one year. Once you get there an elite bullpen certainly helps but the playoffs can be won by one hitter or starting pitcher getting hot (Murphy, Molina, Baumgardner) and a closer might not be able to stop that.
I'm also not crazy about press convictions. As the police report noted, there were no marks on the lady in question. There's a TMZ link (of course) to her police pictures, as well.
I think the only way this trade goes real bad is if Cubbery intervenes and Chapman is suddenly bad for some reason.
I am right there with you closing in on 60.
I don't care that much about "mortgaging" one player who is not only blocked by two guys, but is not ready to hit the majors for at least a couple years.
There is no reason why this team, this year, can't have a real shot at something NONE of us have experienced.
Further, I don't feel that even if they fall short that they have ruined their farm system.
I have made my opinion clear here, with others, Warren was shit on the Cubs save one spot start.
Trading for Warren, Warren sucking, getting Warren back for Chapman plus 3 prospects, sounds like Revenge of The Yankees on the former Boston executive. Old rivalries never die.
I pray to the heavens above Chapman doesn't suck for some reason, or he'll be booed out of town faster than a Todd Hundley revival meeting.
I'm kind of nostalgic for the Schwarber-for-Miller rumors.
This offseason, after some ridiculous playoff run and Chapman saving every game from here until the end of the postseason striking out 27/9innings, I welcome anyone to quote this thread and call me a dummy: I hate this trade, and my hate is 2 parts Chapman makes this team less likeable and 1 part that's a ridiculous overpay for 30 regular season innings and, at tops, 10 postseason innings. Already hoping they don't extend him.
btw...Thanks AZ Phil. I'm really enjoying your take on this trade.
I'm a bit disappointed on the Warren experience. Essentially they gave Castro away for crickets (OK, well they signed Zobrist with the Castro salary dump). Otherwise one might look at it as Chapman for Castro and our #1 minors prospect (Torres) + McKinney/Crawford. Seems pricey for a 2 month rental. We will see if this price tag is that steep in a relative way based on the remaining deadline deals for relievers.
Yep. One of the great things about this team (in addition to being really good at baseball) was the "likable" factor. Feels a bit different now. Who knows...maybe Chapman will be the king of the dance parties.
Here are some possible corresponding minor league moves we might see in the aftermath of the Chapman trade:
SOUTH BEND to MYRTLE BEACH: OF Donnie Dewees and INF Bryant Flete
EUGENE to SOUTH BEND: OF Robert Garcia and INF Vimael Machin
There is really no reason to replace Billy McKinney at Tennessee because both Chris Coghlan and Jorge Soler are doing their rehab at Tennessee.
And there are plenty of pitchers at Iowa. No need to replace Warren at AAA. .
I am 70 years old. The Cubs last played in the World Series in 1945. I was born in 1946. I hate to lose a prospect like Torres, but when the opportunity is there to get that World Series ring, you go for it. This was the idea in stock piling all this young talent. I would like to see Reddick added now and the Cubbies should be done.
I would expect Richard to accept an optional assignment because based on how he's played this season, there is a decent chance that he won't find work elsewhere. Rather stay and potentially get a ring. Same goes for Coghlan since he's struggled mightily this year.
Edwards should not go down. He's pitched very well and Maddon is very impressed with him. I would expect Grimm to go down for Cahill so he can get back on track (he's pitched better in July, but he's not getting enough appearances).
chitownmvp01: Indeed Clayton Richard would seem to be odd man out once Chapman reports, but Richard might accept a minor league assignment if he is promised a return to Chicago on 9/1 when MLB Active List rosters expand (Richard has minor league ioptions left).
The only player in the deal that would cause me a second thought is Gleyber Torres.
McKinney and Crawford are decent prospects but both are redundant/replaceable in the system and Warren was really only a middle-reliever or #6 starter, so to me it's really just Torres for Chapman.

Arctic Cooling E361-WM Earphones
Arctic Cooling is the parent company of Arctic Sound whom is responsible for the product I'm looking at today. Arctic Cooling is a Swiss company who specialize in a variety of innovative, high quality cooling products, which have a reputation for also being very quiet.
According to the company 'PR', the Arctic Cooling team consists of some very highly educated folk with business, technical and communication skills to boot. Perhaps even some of the country's watch making prowess may have washed over into the shores of Arctic 'land'.
With that said, though, the skills used to make things quiet and cold (something the Swiss are great at naturally) is not going to be what's called upon when designing a pair of high quality 'ear phones', But knowing the Swiss folk, their aim would no doubt be hair splitting accuracy, like any great Swiss time piece.
Let's move onward and see for ourselves if they've accomplished success.

Finding a Hotel You Can Trust on the Road
If you have been out driving for hours and are on an extensive road trip as part of a vacation or for work, you may reach a point where you are starting to get tired and need to get off the road for the night. You may not have taken the time to make arrangements for a hotel because you were not sure just where you might be stopping so now you are going to have to take the time to find a hotel. Instead of just stopping at the first place you find and hoping it is nothing like the Bates Motel, has hidden cameras in the bathroom or vibrating beds you might want to try a few of these travel tips to get a hotel you can trust on the road.
• Break Out the Phone – Today's world has been lucky enough to grace people with smartphones, cell phones and tablets that you can use to quickly and easily access the Internet. You can stop at the nearest rest stop, gas station or diner and take the time to look up hotels that are nearby to where you are. This way you can find a place that not only is close to you but is one that is clean and inviting and fits within your budget. You likely can even make a reservation right then so the room will be waiting for you when you get there.
• Get Some Assistance – If you do not have a smartphone, tablet or phone that can access the Internet, you may have a roadside assistance program that you purchased separately or as part of your car purchase. These programs are great for helping you when you might break down on the road, get a flat, run out of gas, lock your keys in the car and so on, but most of them also usually offer some type of travel service to assist you. You can give them a call and they can find hotels in your area that are recommended and in some cases even assist you in making reservations so you do not have to go through it yourself.
• Be Loyal – This is one of the cases where it can pay off for you to have a loyalty card. Many of the top hotel chains offer loyalty cards to customers that come with certain perks, but most of all that come with an easy way to contact them to make reservations at one of their hotels. If you have a hotel chain you prefer you can call the number on the card and they can assist you in finding their hotel or one affiliated with their chain that is suitable for you so you have a place to stay and accumulate some points, giving you the chance to get enough for a free stay or two when you really need one.
No one relishes the idea of spending the night in a bad hotel so it is worth the extra effort to find a place you will be comfortable in. Of course you could always make sure you are driving a new car from the local Nissan dealer Riverside has at metronissanredlands.com. Then you might just need a safe spot to pull over to for the night so you can spend a cozy night in your car.

The Kama Sutra is an ancient Hindu text that most people know as a manual for hundreds of different positions to be used in the bedroom. Aside from containing a mix of many different kinds of creative and unconventional positions, the original Kama Sutra also acts as a guide to a righteous life centered around love and family, and every part of human existence that gives pleasure. While this book by Stephen Williams does not feature as much about "virtuous living" and the pleasure of family, it does understand the central philosophy of the Kama Sutra which is that a healthy, happy life is focused around finding as much pleasure as you can in all aspects of your existence. Williams' "Kamasutra" features dozens of positions, some of the original Kama Sutra's best, with detailed descriptions and clear, easy-to-follow instructions for each one. Anyone looking to improve their time in the bedroom, from beginner to advanced, will find something for them in this book. There are enough positions in Stephen Williams' "Kamasutra Positions" to have you trying something new every day for the next few months! As Williams puts it – every night will feel like the first time with the exciting positions found in this book. "Kamasutra Positions" will have you seeing love-making in a new way, giving you one mind-blowing night after another. I especially love that Williams understands that a healthy love-life is key to having a healthy life in general. Since buying (and using) this book, I find myself more relaxed and having more energy, and racing home from work, excited for another amazing night with my guy and this book! No matter how great your relationship is, every couple thrives on spontaneity and the thrill of doing new things together. This book will not only help you improve your time together in bed, but also your entire relationship. And if you are single and dating, this book will definitely help give you everything you need to have the ladies or gents keep coming back for more! The truly great thing about Williams' "Kamasutra" is that it is so accessible to almost everybody. No matter your age, size, athletic ability, bedroom experience or even health status, there is a position (or even multiple positions) in this book that will work for you. This book encourages you to put your caution aside and try as many new things as you can in order to find what things work the best for you and your significant other. Another really nice thing about this book is that each description explains the advantages of each position and exactly what makes each position so wonderful – if you enjoy eye contact you might love the "Yawning Position" or if your man loves to be in control, "Splitting of a Bamboo" might be the position for you. Variety is the spice of life, and this book gives you all the variety you could ever wish for!
Book is a sample patched in after the table of contence. Do not waste your money
What is it about the Hindu text (later bowdlerized in Western press) known as the Kama Sutra? And why does it still resonate with people the world over, and not just in the Indian subcontinent? Sex and pleasure. Pure and simple. Unlike the religious dichotomy found within the predominantly Christian West (sex/love), the Kama Sutra is a text that does not segregate the act of sexual intercourse from the concept of sex itself. Whereas some schools of thought relegate sexual intercourse to a mechanistic act of procreation and nothing more, Stephen Williams, in his book "Kamasutra Positions: Stop Searching and Improve Your Sex Life," acknowledges the lasting impact that these Indian love lessons have made upon Indian society, and by extension the rest of humanity. India is a predominantly Hindu society, and as such, its religious and spiritual teachings permeate all aspects of life. (To be sure, pockets of secularism do exist.) It is within this atmosphere that various scholars and priests from all castes (usually Brahmin) wrote down, over the course of several centuries, numerous intimate positions for couples, usually featuring drawings of a man and a woman. Certain prominent attributes relating to nature, such as various plants, animals, and celestial bodies, were assigned to each unique sexual position, which reflected the everlasting emotional and spiritual connection between the Indian people and the natural world in which they resided. So such titles as "Splitting of a Bamboo," "Mare Position," "Crab Position," etc., as provided by Williams within "Kamasutra," provide the reader with the ability to mentally create an abstract pictorial of two individuals demonstrating a predominant characteristic or two of the object mentioned within the aforementioned position. Our Western society, however, has taken the Kama Sutra's original intent---to provide two individuals within a committed relationship with as many different opportunities for finding pleasure and happiness within themselves and with one another---and has tended to focus strictly upon the sexual perspective of the text. In many respects, the Kama Sutra has much in common with the Roman Bacchanalists and the Greek Hedonists, who sought pleasure for pleasure's sake and did not deny their desires(although, in this reader's opinion, the Romans tended to excess, whereas the practitioners of the Kama Sutra sought balance and moderation in their daily rituals). Williams does stress the happiness and pleasure factors throughout his work, as evidenced in his numerous exhortations to the readers to focus upon pleasing and satisfying each other. The end result is an intense emotional connection that has been accentuated by physical intimacy and closeness that helps reinforce and strengthen the relationship. Our society is saturated with sex: magazines; DVDs; Internet web sites; warehouses; etc. Yet the Kama Sutra accepts and takes the wonderful gift of sex and accentuates the sheer loveliness of its emotional foundations, rather than just the physical responses. Williams has selected many wonderful, relationship-enhancing positions in "Kamasutra" and has provided his fans with a special relationship aid that works for all people, not just those living in India.

Carl Sagan's influence on space exploration
6th April 2016
In the 1960s, science journalism in the USA was sparse and mostly performed by journalists with little or no scientific background. Science was perceived as minimising the need for pseudoscience, but it didn't fill the spiritual void this left in people. »

Over 180 impact craters have been identified on Earth, and most of these were discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Impacts have been associated with mass extinction events since the 1980s, with strong evidence coming from the Chicxulub Crater, which was linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. »

Would we know if an alien spacecraft enters the Solar System?
26th August 2015
It seems likely that alien life has evolved somewhere in the Galaxy, given that there may be millions of habitable planets, and many of these may have existed for billions of years. If just one species in the whole of the Galaxy were able to explore using self-replicating spacecraft, then they might be able to place probes across the Galaxy within a million years or so. »

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all visible with the naked eye, and can be distinguished from stars because they move around the sky in a different way.

Trans and genderqueer scientists
16th July 2015
Many scientists used to think that there are only two genders, male and female, and that a person's gender can be solely determined from their genitals. We now know that this is not the case.

Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina Completes $2M Redesign
Friday March 15th, 2013 - 10:02AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
SAN DIEGO—The Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina has completed a $2 million soft-goods refresh to all 348 guestrooms in the hotel's Bay Tower.
The project, which began last November, included new carpeting, furniture reupholstery, new task chairs and UV window treatments. In addition, guest bathrooms were enhanced with new bathtubs, fixtures and wall covering. Hallway carpeting, lighting and wall covers throughout the Bay Tower also were redone. In line with the hotel's nautical decor, guestrooms and public spaces now feature neutral tones with red and blue accents.
In addition, the outdoor Bay Tower Lounge Patio was also revitalized to better highlight the hotel's views of San Diego Bay, downtown San Diego and Point Loma. A Starbucks coffee kiosk was added adjacent to the hotel lobby, and upgrades were made to the Bay Tower fitness center. These upgrades included doubling the size of the space and introducing Sheraton Fitness by Core Performance.
Renovation plans for the Bay Tower's main dining room are being scheduled for later in 2013.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.
