Lot of love for Townsville's street van
Four years after setting up a street van to distribute food to homeless and disadvantaged people, 'mum Trudy' is feeling plenty of love from the users of the van and the people that keep it on the road.

"We have so much support in goods and so forth, it is really brilliant" says co-ordinator Trudy Lightfoot of the businesses, community organisations and individuals who finance the van's four day a week service to Townsville's parks, boarding houses and some private residences.
The van delivers 800 sandwiches per week, as well as soup, bread rolls, fruit and milk, most of which has been donated by local bakeries, supermarkets and dairies.
In addition to co-ordinating the service, Trudy gives five days of her week, two rooms in her house and picks up the cost of a few sundries that aren't covered by other donations.
"It's the people" she says, that keep her going even when she is exhausted, adds the former retiree.
Through working on the street van Trudy has learned a lot about different lifestyles and Indigenous culture.
She says she didn't even realise the significance of the moniker 'mum Trudy' that some of the van users gave her.
"The Murrie people have such soft hearts. They really do, even when they have had too much to drink, they are never ever rude to us" Trudy adds.
Retiree Mike Steer uses the van three times a week and will always try to get the egg sandwiches as ham can be a bit tough going if you've no teeth he explains.
"The meat sandwiches can sometimes be a little bit on the tough side with bare gums, apart from that I'm very happy."
Mr Steer says he does quite well on the pension, but feels sorry for the people on unemployment benefits.
"What they call the dole bludgers their income hasn't been raised like the pension has to compensate for various costs of living increases and that, so they are finding it harder than the pensioners are actually."
The Street Van is always looking for volunteers, particularly for their weekday shifts.

MILAN The latest news about the health of seven-times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is not good, his former Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo said on Thursday.
The German is still receiving intensive treatment far from the public eye at his home in Switzerland following severe head injuries that he suffered in a skiing accident in France in December 2013.
"I have news and unfortunately it is not good," Montezemolo told reporters without giving any further details.
"Life is strange. He was a fantastic driver and only had one accident with Ferrari in 1999", the former Ferrari chairman said.
Schumacher's long-time manager Sabine Kehm, who has been steadfast in refusing to comment on rumours or speculation about the 47-year-old's condition, had nothing to say when contacted by Reuters.

I activated the theme on a new site and all was well until I used the customize page. Within 5 minutes style.css was no longer getting called. Deleted it and reinstalled and the same thing happened again. Updated from WP 4.4.3 to the latest version, no change. Switched to other installed themes and there was no issue with them.
So without doubt, there's something fundamental wrong with this theme and I can't recommend it when there are so many other themes that work fine.
Theme is a lot more difficult to get up and running than I thought it would be. I tried following the support documents and without a good and fairly deep understanding of site design and terminology, getting up and running will be difficult. I made the mistake of purchasing the $99 plug-in that goes along with the theme based on the The Theme Foundry's testimony on how easy the theme was to to configure and deploy. It was a total and complete ripoff!

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Cadillac ATS
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
Cadillac's all-new compact luxury sport sedan, the 2013 ATS, puts its own spin on the division's sharp-edged design philosophy. The new ATS trumpets bold looks, handling dynamics tuned on Germany's famed Nürburgring circuit, the choice of 4- or 6-cylinder power, and all of Cadillac's latest technology, including the new CUE infotainment interface. This rear-drive/all-wheel-drive 4-door has its sights set on bettering the best from Europe and Japan, including the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Infiniti G sedans.
The Cadillac ATS is something we haven't seen in a while: an entry-level luxury sedan with standard rear-wheel drive from an American automaker. The 2013 ATS is meant to challenge rivals like the BMW 3 Series, as well as the notion that Cadillacs must be large and piloted by drivers who "look good for their age."
If you want an immediately recognizable compact luxury sedan whose purchase requires little to no explaining to friends, you might want to stick with a BMW 3 Series. As the new kid on the block, the ATS will have to prove itself against more established entries and win over the competition from Germany and Japan.
Cadillac steps back into the compact-sedan arena for the first time in 20 years with a premium-grade offering that's all-new and fully qualified to take on the world's best sport/luxury starter sedans.
Three distinct personalities can be assigned to the 2013 Cadillac ATS, and each is determined by one of the three available ATS engines. At the practical level, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder...
... powerplant gets the job done with 202 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission, but isn't interested in putting in overtime. At the Euro end of the ATS equation comes the 3.6-liter V6 and its 321-horsepower valentine to autobahns and boulevard cruising. The V6 power makes the 6-speed automatic's job easy, but that's not the combination we'd recommend – even if you can afford it. For you, we've picked out the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder – with the 6-speed automatic if you want it, but with the available 6-speed manual transmission if you want to give BMW's sweet, new BMW 328i sedan a run for its (or rather, your) money. The 272-horsepower 2.0-liter rewards calling your own gear-shots with bullet-feel acceleration and legit lightweight sports sedan handling, a truth aided measurably by the available FE3 suspension with "Magnetic Ride Control", a term that did not strike us in the least as an overstatement either on the road or at the track.
If you own an iPhone or an Android, you can learn the ins and outs of this in-car entertainment and communications system in seconds. Even better: If you're not living in a smartphone-centric universe, the touch-screen-based CUE system uses the same intuitive logic that's making Apple gazillions.
If we could convince you of only one thing in this entire review, it would be to at least try out an ATS with the 2.0-liter engine. This is an easy-to-drive engine with class-leading power and class-comparable fuel economy.
Offering a well-finished assortment of real wood and supple leather/leatherette trims set off with plated-metal and carbon fiber accents, the new Cadillac ATS features a wraparound dash, driver-centric controls and LED gauges, and subtle ambient lighting. While in no danger of putting Audi out of business, the ATS cabin feels a breath or two more elegant than expected, which is a very good sign in a luxury car interior. Front-seat legroom is adult-sized, but the ceiling can get cramped if you get the sunroof. In classic compact sedan fashion, rear legroom can be precisely described as iffy, but not scandalously so.
Boldly angular bodywork set off with Cadillac's signature LED-infused vertical lighting elements gives the new ATS an aggressive edge. Posed curbside, the sedan is endowed with a confident, well-planted stance. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels and optional 18-inch upgrades add even more visual intensity to the mix.
The feature set on the
2013 Cadillac ATS expands as you move from the base (Standard) model up through the Luxury, Performance and Premium grades, but even the Standard ATS comes with a full range of attractions. Want the easy life? Power-assist everything, dual-zone automatic climate control, 7-speaker Bose audio, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity are all yours. Want peace of mind? Eight airbags and Front and Rear Automatic Braking that can prevent low-speed impacts are looking out for you. The magical Cadillac CUE infotainment interface and Bose Cabin Surround sound system adorn higher-grade ATS versions, with navigation coming standard on Premium models.
Like the standard features, available extras for the ATS are somewhat trim-grade dependent. Beyond available all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission on the rear-drive 2.0-liter turbo model, key ATS upgrades include a ton of make-me-safer features with vaguely descriptive names like Full-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Forward Lighting, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Brake Pre-Fill Automatic Collision Preparation.
The 2013 Cadillac ATS offers three different engines with the Standard trim models getting a 202-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. All Turbo versions will be fitted with a 272-horsepower turbocharged four. The top-line models get a 321-horsepower V6. Save for the rear-drive ATS turbo that will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission, all other versions of the Cadillac ATS will come with a standard 6-speed automatic.

"I have had this 2.0 standard car for 3 years and 32K miles now. Had a few recalls for minor issues but it never gave me any problems. Read the reviews of this car by JD power and it appeared as bunch of armatures doing the review. Because I quite enjoyed driving it and sad to see it go. Good handling and still comfortable ride. Engine had adequate power with quite good response. It can be argued that the BMW version of the same engine has slight refinement edge but not by much that would be noticeable to the average buyer. Overall very pleased with it."

Pros: "Fun to drive, nice performance and handling"
Cons: "CUE is a little annoying, small rear compartments"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I searched a lot about ATS 2.0T. I viewed about 15 youtube videos, and drove ATS, Merc, BMW, Audi. ATS really competes with its sisters. Great performance, great brakes (Brembo), great acceleration. Mileage is not that great, 20mpg. The drawbacks are: small trunk, small rear compartment, but doesn't bother me as I use the car for commuting. Cue is a little annoying. I wish it was like other sisters, a control next to the gear to be handy. Chair is comfortable. There are few settings that don't work even I talked with the dealers. Passive door unlocked and remote heated seat. I turned them on and they do nothing. I like passive door lock, you just get out and walk away from the car and it locks itself. Moon roof is designed in stupid way. There is a small lid pops out when moon roof is open which has a filter that cause loud noise when driving above 35MPH. Pricing is very good, just search for deals. I got mine about $100 monthly less than BMW, Audi, Merc."

"This is the first American made car I have purchased in more than 15 years. Between my partner and I, we have owned two BMWs, two Acuras, two Audis and a Lexus. I can say from experience that Cadillac is building a world class car with equal or better reliability. The ATS has had no mechanical problems whatsoever and has required far fewer trips to the dealer than any of the German cars we've owned. The car has over 30k miles and is still as tight as the day we bought it. Im truly impressed with this car and proud that its American made."

anyone been to incirlik base in turkey?
Posted in the US Air Force Forum
#21 Jun 14, 2008
I guess time brings drastic changes. I spent 2 years at Incirlik in 1960-61 and have to say that was my worst assignment in 23 years of service!!!
Since: May 07
Yacking up a topix hairball
#22 Jun 14, 2008
To make it that way:
Sometimes, it's the locals.~AND~ Sometimes, it's the immediate CO, Wing King, or Base Commander (or all 3)
I loved it when I was there. The pollution, I could have lived without breathing in. American immune systems aren't used to that....at least when I was there. It might be cleaned up by now.
#23 Aug 27, 2008
I was in turkey from 2003 until 2007, I was both single and married. Dorm life is fun, tell him to get out and travel, see the world, however don't let the drinking and parting run his life. If married make sure it's not just for joint assignment. He will have a blast.. most turkish people are wonderful, others want in your pockets. Enjoy the food, people and travels. Just as you would in the states be aware of your surroundings. Best wishes.. i have advise for travel for you and your son as well as pictures of the base and surrounding places as well as people that are still there that i could let you contact. Good luck
#24 Sep 12, 2008
I was at Incirlik from 98-00 and to this day still feel as if it was my best assignment! My family and I took advantage of the opportunity and traveled the country quite extensively. We found the Turkish people to be very welcoming and often would go out of their way to help a stranger in their land. For example, we were in Izmir and one of my sons became ill. We did not know where the hospital was so we stopped and asked a policeman. He got in our car and went with us to the hospital! My son received excellent treatment. This is but one example of how warm and caring the Turkish people were to us. I have many other examples but won't share them due to space limitations. The one thing though that you should never do is insult Ataturk, the founder of modern day Turkey. This will land you in BIG trouble! Enjoy the country, its people, and travel and I think you will find it to be a wonderful experience!

I was there 1976 for 18 months, originally fr WVA, first time from home, as a female it wasn't really that bad. Made a;ot of friends
#26 Oct 11, 2008
You feel Turkey is safer that Osan Korea? My son has a choice of those two for security forces?
#27 Oct 11, 2008
I would like to know which base is best for security forces Osan Korea of Turkey? My concern is deployment.
#28 Oct 11, 2008
I can't speak for the base in Korea, I've never been there. But if he does go to Turkey, he will probably have a great time. There is so much to do. The people are nice....every one I encountered. The cost of living is good for people with a US paycheck. So many sites and places... the beaches, shops, historical landmarks, etc.
I was a dependant wife with small children at the time and always felt safe. I've heard that the conditions are even better now than when I was there.
The pollution was the only thing I had trouble with at the time. Not all areas of the world have strict US EPA standard equivalents. There are many areas in the world that are cleaner than the USA, too, but not the Incirlik that I was used to. That might have changed, don't know.
I hope this puts some of your fears at ease. I loved it there in Turkey, even during that first Gulf War. I was safe.

I loved Turkey and was also there from 1989 to 1992, I was also NEOed and was back in the states for 3 monthes. Went back on the first available flight. And I agree it was a waste in someways but a blessing for me since my dad passed away less than a year later and without the evac, I never would have spent that time with him. The best advice that I would have given, at least back then, is to never tell how long you have been in country. The locals would use that info to gauge how shopping savie you were. Basically when asked, we would always say we had been there six monthes or longer. And wait a few monthes before you start buying things. You will learn alot about the people and culture if you immerse yourself. Memories that last a lifetime. Read the book Scotch and Holy water by John David Tumpane. It is out of print but you can find it on Amazon and everyone that misses Turkey or is thinking about visiting should read it.
#30 Nov 11, 2008
OMG!! I wonder if I could have been on the same plane as you? I was NEOed out on a C-5 to Frankfurt before taking a C-141 to Dover. I was back as immediately as I could, too.
The weird thing was that Incirlik was an easier place to live that in my home town at that moment. CNN is all about the ratings and making things sound more horrific than they actually were. They know what sells to the "rubber-neckers". It seems they are still pulling that junk still to this day.
And I agree with the choice of 'Scotch and Holy Water' it give a good, honest, and lighthearted ethnographic view of that area from a western standpoint.
#31 Nov 18, 2008
was stationed at Incirlik from 1965 to 67 with Det. 114- APRON. One of the best assignments of my career.
#32 Nov 20, 2008
It was at Pirinclik Air Station, not Incirlik. I worked there at the time. Dante worked on the other shift. I don't remember the woman's name.
#33 Nov 22, 2008
i was a dependent at incirlik (det 4) in 64-65. i went to high school in the kwanset hut, hunted pigs in tarsus forest,drank raki in the compound and had the time of my life! the turkish people are some of the nicest and bravest people in the world. i have many wonderful memories of turkey, especialy since we drove there from paris france. it took 16 days. i would return to turkey in a heartbeat. go there and meet the people and have a great time.
#34 Nov 24, 2008
I was wondering if you found anymore information on the homicide involving Dante Ventresca. Please email me at [email protected] with any information you might have.
#36 Jan 27, 2009
Looking for anyone stationed at Incirlik 1989-1991 for Desert Shield / Storm. I was in NCOIC of transient alert. Looking for anyone I might have served with. Would like to get in touch.
Also, I was also in the 601st CAMS/AGS at Sembach AB, GE from 1979-1981.

I work for the DoD schools in Italy now. I am thinking about transferring to Incirlik. It sounds like it was a wonderful place years ago but what about now for a single civilian female? Is there base housing? Is the housing modern off base? Shopping still good? Would like to chat with someone there or recently moved.

Thinking back, I wonder if I was perhaps the first person to go to Star Wars with my own Light Saber? It was the day after it opened in 1977. O.K. Here is my Star Wars story...
On the day the original opened we went in Star Trek outfits a friend of mine had made. The theatre manager called us over and offered us a job. He wanted us to make costumes from the new movie and walk around the mall (Westfarms Mall in Ct.) for pay! So we said we would need to see the movie a few times to make sketches and such, he gave us a bunch of tickets.
By the 2nd time I saw the move (still the first day) I was convinced Luke's Light Saber was a lightly modified flash bracket off a Speed Graphic - the camera I learned on and had at home. So when we went back the next day to watch the film a few more times (you know, for research), I brought it with me.
Later that day we met with the manager, he apologized and said the thing was so popular he didn't need to give it any additional publicity. By way of apology he walked over to the ticket reels and spun off several hundred tickets which the four of us split up. For the last few weeks of High School that year we went to see Star Wars with our friends almost every day with those tickets. The only other thing playing was "One on One" with Robby Benson which I as recall my girlfriend and I sat through once. The rest of the tickets went to seeing Star Wars over and over again.

text: Ok, here's my patch. It applies against the stable 5.42 from sourceforge (as that's what we want to roll out). One thing I noticed while changing it over to -l was that scterc is using it's own function 'ataGetSetSCTErrorRecoveryControltime' to set SCT values, whereas I just added the necessary commands to allow me to use the existing 'smartcommandhandler'. I'm not sure if one method is necessarily preferred over the other, but I imagine someone will want to be consistent, and I'm not really excited to change what I've already got. I give no guarantee that this won't break someone else's features in strange ways, I can only say that we've been running smart with this patch (well the -z flag version) for awhile and haven't run into anything unexpected.

Kids' Decor with Room to Grow
Furnishings your children won't be embarrassed to own in five years
Frilly flowers and cartoon racecars may be classic children's room motifs—but to a maturing child, they are far from timeless. So in an effort to prevent an annual décor overhaul and a hole in your wallet, we set out to find furniture, soft goods, and accessories that create all the whimsy and playfulness a child's room should have, without the childish overtone. These fresh finds are an investment that promises to grow with the kids for years to come. But even if eventually your youngster does crave a new look, fear not—these are so chic and stylish that you'll be proud to put them in most any room of the house.

"We're gonna listen to the new record," says Cindy Wilson excitedly, only moments after greeting her visitor at the front door of her north Atlanta home. As a member of the Athens-born art project called the B-52's for the past 30 years, the pop icon is instantly recognizable as the bewigged, bewitching, big-eyed blond blend of Nancy Sinatra's sensual purr, Lene Lovich's serrated new-wave yelp and Yoko Ono's angular, art-damaged attack.
Tonight, however, she's in subdued, domestic mode; there's no towering beehive over her long, straight hair, and instead of an outrageous dress she's in a tasteful top and pants. She resides in comfy suburbia with her family, the role she originally left the band for in the early 1990s, only to return to the fold a few years later. Safely away from the scores of rabid fans who squeal with delight whenever she spouts "Love Shack's" famous "tiiin roof – rusted!" break, she's relaxed and positively glowing with the anticipation of playing the new album from the B-52's.
And it is a big deal, arriving 15 years after the release of the Cindy-less Good Stuff and a whole generation since her last full studio recording on 1989's Cosmic Thing. Fans anxious to hear the new music will get a sneak preview during the group's current tour, which stops in Atlanta at Chastain Park Aug. 1. "It's the best thing we've ever done," Cindy enthuses as she retreats to the memorabilia-lined basement of her spacious home, disc in hand. Her children are busy watching cartoons, playing computer games and teasing their hyperactive dog as her husband, artist/musician Keith Bennett, drops the CD into a player behind the bar.
Hearing artists say their newest album is the best thing they've ever done usually elicits a healthy measure of jaded skepticism in this writer, having endured the unwarranted glee of countless hopeful musicians since around the same time the B-52's first appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in 1980. But even with a proper game face on, it's hard to ignore Wilson's childlike delight as she curls up barefoot on the couch while the throbbing dance track "Pump" fills the room.
After each song, she giggles proudly, and her unbridled enthusiasm is undeniably contagious. The 12 songs alternately pulse and rock with a thoroughly modern sheen, thanks to in-demand producer Steve Osbourne (KT Tunstall, U2), the signature sound of the band balancing insistent dance-club grooves, and Keith Strickland's inventive guitar flourishes and goofy pop-culture narratives.
The vocals from Wilson, Fred Schneider and Kate Pierson are playful, sinewy and dynamic. The material is sassy, hooky and kitschy. And the whole thing sounds remarkably like it could be a lost project from sometime in the late '80s, yet it doesn't rely on tired retreads or obvious rip-offs from the past.
Standouts from the first listen include "Funplex," "Juliet of the Spirits," the anthemic "Hot Corner" and "Let's Keep This Party Going On." Overall, there seems to be at least five strong-enough-to-be-hit singles. The rest are well-crafted album cuts with no obvious filler. It could very well become the band's best-received album of its career – if it's properly promoted and heard.
And that's an "if" Wilson is acutely aware of.
"This is the worst time in the world to put out a record," she sighs, surrounded by an impressive collection of band-related artifacts, oddball knickknacks, '60s collectibles and awards. "We should have our heads examined for even trying to do something new the way things are now, but that's just the way it's happened." Half the album was recorded at John Keane's studio, she says, not far from the spot the band debuted on Valentine's Day 1977. "We'd recorded in the Bahamas but never in Athens," she continues. "There's an 'Athens vibe,' even though it's changed so much over there. I think it's the magical kiss we needed."
But why did it take so long? "Everybody's in a different city now. It's not like we all lived in New York, like when we did Cosmic Thing." Over a four-year period, the B-52's met in various locations, often in Atlanta, and collaborated during intense, three-day writing sessions.
As her son gently requests a bedtime story and the dog hops on the couch with a slobbery chew toy, she adds, "We're bringing everything that's happened to us in 30 years to this record. There's a maturity to it, but we're not about to grow up. It's still us, you know."
Since the music exists only as a completed master with no cover art, title or distribution deal, the only way fans can hear the new songs is live on tour, mixed in with the hits. "This summer we're taking it out on the road, doing about half of [the album], to see the crowd reaction. So far it's been great, people really like all the new songs."
With a new album currently being shopped to labels, and a busy summer and fall tour schedule ahead, it'd be easy to call the B-52's new wave of activity a comeback, but don't. Wilson says it's far more personal than that. "It's like a 'Here, [a] present,'" she concludes as she leads her kids off to bed, "Or, with the new songs, it's like 'Here, here's a present.' It's a party."

I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Aaron Miles got four at bats and reached base twice, and four Cubs pitchers combined to throw a four-hit shutout with 13 strikeouts, as the EXST Cubs blanked the EXST A's 5-0 this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 under mostly-cloudy skies.
Miles, on the Cubs 15-day DL since May 27th with a sore shoulder, got the start at shortstop, and hit 2nd in each of the first four innings. He was the middle-man on a 4-6-3 DP in the top of the 2nd, but otherwise had a quiet day in the field throughout his four innings at SS.
At the plate, Miles grounded out to 2nd base (4-3) on a hit & run play that advanced a runner to 2nd base in the 1st inning, walked in the 2nd inning, popped up to short in the 3rd inning, and singled to right (sending the runner on 1st to 3rd) in his final AB in the 4th.
In addition, IF-OF Ryan Freel (on the Cubs 15-day DL with a strained hamstring since May 28th) and INF Luis Rivas (on the Iowa Cubs DL with a hamstring strain since April) took "live" BP, but did not play in the game. (Rivas has actually been at Fitch Park for several weeks, but he is just now starting to get out onto the field).
18-year old Dominican LHP Jeffry Antigua got the start for the EXST Cubs today and was outstanding, throwing four shutout innings, allowing two ground singles and no walks, while striking out eight. He kept the ball down on every hitter, getting four ground outs in addition to the eight punchouts, including the 4-6-3 DP that featured a nice "turn" by Aaron Miles.
19-year old RHP Tarlandus Mitchell (Cubs 2008 22nd round draft pick out of Alto HS - Alto, TX) followed Antigua to the mound, and threw two hitless & shutout innings, striking out four while walking two. Mitchell had a very poor outing last week in Tempe (he was yanked out of the game after only one inning), so I'm sure he felt good with his comeback outing today.
RHP (and ex-OF) Andres Quezada then threw two shutout innings, and RHP Carlos Rojas finished up with one inning of shutout relief.
The Cubs offense got going right off the bat in the bottom of the 1st. Jose Valdez was hit on the foot with a pitch (he also was hit on the same foot with a pitch in his next AB), and advanced to 2nd on the Aaron Miles ground out. Then with two outs, John Contreras blasted a double off the LF fence, scoring Valdez.
The Cubs scored again in the 4th. Matt Cerda (2008 4th round pick out of Oceanside HS - Oceanside, CA) led off with a walk, and advanced to 3rd on a line single to right by Miles. Then with one out, Chris Weimer lined a single to CF, scoring Cerda.
The Cubs got three insurance runs in the 8th, as 20-year old lanky Dominican switch-hitting infielder Robert Bautista (batting right-handed) led-off the inning by blasting a home run over the left-field fence onto 8th Street. (The normally light-hitting Bautista hit an inside-the-park HR yesterday, so maybe I should stop comparing his speed and defensive play to Junior Lake and his hitting prowess to Veronica Lake). Jose Valdez and Dwayne Kemp singled, and Valdez scored on a passed ball. Then Contreras singled, scoring Kemp.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Jose Valdez, CF: 1-2 (HBP, HBP, F-8, 1B + 2 R, 1 CS)
2a. Aaron Miles, SS: 0-1 (4-3)
2b. Dwayne Kemp, SS: 1-2 (4-3, 1B + 1 R)
3. Matt Cerda, DH-C: 0-3 (F-7, BB, F-9, 4-3 + 1 R)
3x. Aaron Miles, PH: 1-1 (1B)
4. John Contreras, DH #2: 3-4 (2B, 1B, K, 1B + 2 RBI)
5. Chris Weimer, 1B: 2-4 (K, 1B, 3B, L-6 + 1 RBI)
6. Jae-Hoon Ha, LF 2-4 (1B, 1B, K, 1-3)
6x. Aaron Miles, PH: 0-0 (BB)
7. Logan Watkins, 2B: 1-2 (1-3 SH, P-6, 1B)
8. Jesus Morelli, RF: 0-2 (5-2 FC, K, 5-3 SH)
9. Alvaro Sosa, C-DH: 1-3 (F-7, E-6, 1B + 1 PO)
10. Robert Bautista, 3B: 1-3 (F-7, F-7, HR + 1 R, 1 RBI)
10x. Aaron Miles, PH: 0-1 (P-6)
1. Jeffry Antigua - 4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K, 1 GIDP, 4/0 GO/FO
2. Tarlandus Mitchell - 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
3. Andres Quezada - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 4/1 GO/FO
4. Carlos Rojas - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1/2 GO/FO
1. C Alvaro Sosa - overthrow at 2nd base on stolen base attempt, allowing runner to advance to 3rd.
2. 2B Logan Watkins - dropped pop-up in short RF, allowing batter to reach base.
1. Alvaro Sosa: 0-1 CS, 1 E (see above)
2. Matt Cerda: 1-3 CS
WEATHER: temperature in the 90's, mostly cloudy, not as hot as yesterday,

I love ya, but please don't associate that piece of crap ball player with the one of the all time greats, the Who.
How about "2000 Miles" by the Prenteders(also good) as in keep Aaron Miles 2000 miles away from Wrigley.
Thanks always for the great reports.
A Tweeting fool...
Lineup: sori, riot, fuky, lee, font, rejo, hill, blanco, z.
McLouth will bat third tonight for Braves.
"Harden to throw today and head to Iowa for Sunday rehab start. Barring setback, returns from DL 6/12 vs. Minn."
No DL for Bradley for now.
and then seems like some jokes by Z about players going into Lou's office.

Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Hopefully there will be a Jeff Gillooly sighting, and a possible mysterious injury that keeps Miles in Arizona for the rest of the summer.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Oh my goodness, it looks like Antigua was trying to top Suarez' last outing.
Arizona Phil, is it safe to assume these two will be locked into Boise's rotation (along with Nagel) in a few weeks, right? I hope so because Boise allows you the option to watch their home games online for free.

LaRussa suing Twitter
St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is suing the social-networking site Twitter, claiming an unauthorized page that used his name to make light of drunken driving and two Cardinals pitchers who died damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Good. In general I am against the US being 'A nation of litigants' as my grad school roommate described us. However, the amount of really nasty shit people think they can get away with on the internet is way out of whack.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
So we have a right to free speech unless someone doesn't like what you are saying? It's the Internet. People say cruel shit all the time. Grow a pair, Tony.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
No, but the right of free speech combined with assumed anonymity shouldn't over rule existing libel laws.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
I'm definitely no law expert, and I understand and respect your point, but libel is specific to harming someone's reputation. And if someone is talking about true events: i.e. Tony getting busted drunk driving, I'm pretty sure that is more about Tony La Russa hurting his own reputation. If he doesn't like it maybe he should do less drinking and driving.
The bit about his feelings being hurt is B.S. He can ignore Twitter if he wants. Litigators do this crap for juries. Throw a few different charges out there with the hopes that a jury will pick one: Plaintiff gets what they want and the jury can go home feeling like they split the middle.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Impersonating someone and saying stupid shit is harming to his reputation, so that's libel right there.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the things quoted in the article aren't the only things these knuckleheads said.
Imagine, for instance, if Kile's kid thought this was the real Tony LaRussa and signed up for the Twitter.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
If only! It's not that easy at all. If all you had to do was impersonate someone and say stupid shit there would be millions of libel suits more than there are now.
You have to prove harm to your reputation, emotional distress, or loss of money. You can't just be annoyed. Just being bothered or annoyed by something is the first reason these cases are dismissed. The onus is on the supposed victim to prove this. Did someone call him wondering why he was saying these things, did the newspaper pick up on it and report those quotes as his, did someone cancel a talk he was supposed to do because they thought he said them, etc.? Did people believe he said them. The site explicitly said that "bio-parodies are funny." The quotes were also outrageous. Would a reasonable person attribute those quotes to him, did anyone? If Darryl Kyle's kid did think he said that and called him and Tony then experienced emotional distress as he had to talk to him, then fine, but he would have to show that.
Most likely is that an agent or friend said "hey, there is this parody site out there pretending to be you, how do we go about shutting it down and discouraging this type of shit in the future?" Answer - file a libel suit. It gets attention to the problem, shuts down the site, gets twitter to be tougher on who signs up for accounts, make sure they never let anyone else sign up as Tony LaRussa ever again - and then in the MONTHS between now and when the case would go before a judge, you drop the charges, or you let the case get thrown out early on.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Well, yeah, there has to be damages, or there's no reason to sue. If Twitter people thought they had a rock-solid case, they wouldn't have taken the pages down. I would imagine they're going to wind up having to be a little more thorough on what is defined as a 'parody' page in the future. You can see my comment below if you want an example of a page that has been up for 2 years, with no policing of it whatsoever.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
What a load of crap! The Twitter Tony L was clearly labelled a PARODY which is protected speech. Here's Twitter's policy
The standard for defining parody is, "would a reasonable person be aware that it's a joke." An account may be guilty of impersonation if it confuses or misleads others—accounts with the clear INTENT to confuse or mislead will be permanently suspended.
What happens to impersonation accounts?
Parody impersonation accounts are allowed to exist. The profile information on a parody account must make it obvious that the profile is fake, or it is subject to removal from Twitter.com. If it is not evident from viewing the profile that it is a joke, it is considered non-parody impersonation. Non-parody impersonation accounts may be permanently suspended for Terms of Service violations.
But because the perpetually inebriated LaRussa is suing Twitter, all parody accounts using his name are being pulled including NotTonyLaRussa.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
How do you know that it was clearly labeled, since it's been taken down? For instance, they may have added the label after some people signed up. I don't know, I never even signed up for twitter, but a quick google search leads me to this:
Obviously not the real George Bush, yet no mention of the word 'Parody' on it.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Do they have any estimate as to when the game might start?
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
according to the hour-by-hour tab on that link, it should clear up around midnight EST for about 3-4 hours.
They can't possibly be waiting for that.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
only trip to Atlanta this year so they'll wait it out as long as possible.
Bradley update
as long as he can pinch hit in Cincy, he won't go on DL, they'll find out tomorrow. Think he can play the field again by the time they reach Houston.
As mentioned, Harden should be back to open homestand.
Lou Backs off the Koyie starting comment a bit
"Obviously, Geo is my No. 1 catcher. I'm just giving him a nice little mental break."
Game called according to Wittenmyer...
Just like that, it's official. Game banged. Don't have a makeup date yet.
Game Banged? That's hot.
June 22nd is the makeup date. Greatest day ever.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
At the bottom of the Tribune's Cubs article today it has this encouraging word:
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Nice news. Today (Friday) is exactly 4 weeks after the Friday, May 8th shoulder injury to ARam.
So he is on track for the schedule the Cubs (via Tribune writer Paul Sullivan, link below) reported. As per the Piniella quote (below) we'll get a better estimate as to ARam's return as he returns to baseball activity. Everyone has extimated 6-8 weeks for this recovery then add a few games in the minors (rehab assignment). 4 weeks is vs Brewers at Wrigley (July 3rd) and 8 weeks is at Washington after the all-star break, July 16th.
MILWAUKEE (May 9th)-- Aramis Ramirez will be in a sling for one week and spend three weeks in non-baseball activities, namely motion and strengthening exercises on his shoulder.
That suggests his stint on the disabled list will probably closer to eight weeks than 4-6, though the Cubs said it's too early to speculate on how long he'll be out of action.
"You're looking at a while," manager Lou Piniella said. "We'll know more after the first month."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Baseball-related activities... Lou told him to go find a bat stretcher.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Impersonating someone and saying things in that person's voice might damage that person's reputation, but it's not necessarily libel. (He's suing for trademark infringement, among other things, not libel.)
A libelous statement is more along the lines of someone not impersonating him said, "Tony LaRussa likes to kill and eat kittens."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
These are the tweets in question:
"Lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving incident or dead pitcher... I'd call that an I-55 series."
"Fortunately, Ian Snell sucks now... when Molina and Duncan Jr. go deep off of you it's time to look yourself in the mirror, have an ice-..."
"drinking a cold Zima and wishing fucking Hancock was alive, I bet he could've gotten Jack Wilson out."
Dumb but not libelous.
Recent comments
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.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).
CHITOWNMVP01: The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) has had one slot open since 7/6 (when RHRP Joel Peralta was Designated for Assignment).
The problem with the September roster is all of the pitching changes. They should find a way to limit pitchers to twelve except for extra inning games. More pinch hitters or pinch runners do little to slow the game down and are more fun than endless calls to the bullpen. I also think the fans get cheated when they use position players to pitch because employed a half dozen pitchers with righty-lefty switches. Having as few as four positions players on the bench to start a game also leads to some pretty ugly defensive substitutions.

It was an incredible experience, even though it took me hours reach to the "final" destination. I managed to produce two drawings.

Chef Cina to lead the emerging chain's culinary efforts on a national level
Real growth continues to be hard to come by for the foodservice industry. In fact, overall customer traffic was flat through the first quarter of 2016, according to The NPD Group, a market research firm covering the foodservice industry. Revenues and customer traffic may be inching along, but one area growing at breakneck speed is labor costs.Read more...
The National Restaurant Association's annual trade show has come and gone to much fanfare. From what I saw and read, the participation was phenomenal.

The fast-casual segment seems to be the darling of the foodservice industry — and with good reason, if you look at some of the industry data. According to market research firm Technomic, the fast-casual segment is in the best position to achieve real growth this year and next.
As you hear more about the fast-casual segment, have you ever found yourself wondering what it is all about? What's driving its success? And whether you are an operator or supplier, do you ever wonder how to position your business to ride this impressive wave? I have asked myself these questions on many occasions and over the next few posts, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts and observations about this burgeoning segment.
First, I think it is important to understand that fast-casual is a morphing segment. Nowadays it seems as if concepts that 10 years ago would not have made the cut to be categorized as fast-casual are getting thrown into this mix. It used to be easy to recognize a fast-casual concept but that's no longer the case. There has clearly been a blurring of the lines between fast-casual and QSR in many of the benefits offered to the customers. When Subway started, it would have probably been categorized as QSR, yet now, with the advent of concepts like Firehouse Subs and others, it may be seen as a fast-casual concept.
If you look at what fast-casual originally was and compare it to what it seems to be today (more on that in the next post), you begin to wonder how concepts get labeled as fast-casual.
Perhaps a good portion of how concepts become categorized is based on the customers' perceptions of the operation. OK, you can say that perception is reality, which I buy, and the way an operator positions the concept significantly impacts how customers see the business.
Understanding the importance of perception, though, is critical if you want to be part of the segment either as an operator or as a supplier of industrial engineering or other consulting and design services, foodservice equipment and various other forms of technology.
So what makes a fast-casual concept? In an effort to answer this often-asked question, you can approach it from a variety of angles including:
• Is it the menu offering?
• Is it the ambiance and retail design?
• Is it the menu price?
• Is it the production process?
• Is it the service system?
• Is it the employees?
These are but a few of the questions one could pose but it seems like a reasonable place to begin our exploration of the topic. As a preview of the subsequent blog posts, consider that many fast-casual concepts now play in the drive-through arena, a service attribute that was typically the exclusive domain of the QSR. Perhaps that's still the case?
In my next post, I will expand on each of the points listed above further, providing some thoughts on how these attributes are materializing in the marketplace, which could provide support (or not) as to how a concept gets positioned and categorized as a fast-casual concept.
Stay tuned!
