Ametek Inc. ( AME ) reported third-quarter 2013 earnings per share of 52 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.Revenues
The company reported revenues of $890.0 million, up 1.3% sequentially and 6.0% year over year. The increase was due to strong demand in the Electronic as well as Electromechanical segments.
During the quarter, orders grew 4.7% sequentially and 17% from the year-ago quarter to $937.0 million. The book-to-bill ratio improved to 1.05 from 1.02 in the prior quarter.Revenues by Business SegmentsElectronic Instruments Group (EIG) comprised 56% of Ametek's sales in the quarter, up 9.3% from the year-ago quarter to $499.8 million. The third quarter was strong due to strength in Aerospace and oil and gas businesses, combined with the contribution from Micro-Poise and Controls Southeast acquisitions.
Ametek's Electro Mechanical Group (EMG) segment generated 44% of its sales, up 2.1% from the year-ago quarter to $390.2 million. Management stated that the strong growth in Precision Motion Control business and Floorcare and Specialty Motors business led to the top-line increase.Margins
Reported gross margin for the quarter was 35.7%, up 30 basis points (bps) sequentially and 20 bps year over year. The increase was due to higher volumes.
Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and Depreciation) of $113.2 million were up 3.2% from $109.7 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased, while depreciation expenses remained the same. As a result, the reported operating margin of 23.0% expanded 60 bps from the year-ago quarter margin of 22.4%.
Reported net income was $127.9 million or earnings of 52 cents per share compared with $115.4 million or 47 cents in the comparable quarter last year. As there were no special items, adjusted net income was the same as GAAP net income in the quarter.Balance Sheet
The company ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents balance of $254.9 million, up from $207.6 million in the prior quarter. Trade receivables were $532.1 million, up from $521.5 million in the prior quarter. Long-term debt was $1.1 billion, flat sequentially.
Cash flow from operations was $166.0 million versus $128.0 million in the prior quarter. Free cash flow was $151.0 million versus $117.0 million in the prior quarter.Guidance
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Ametek expects total revenue to be up in high single-digits from the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share are expected to be approximately 54 cents, up 10% year over year.
For fiscal 2013, management expects revenues to be up in mid single-digits on a year-over-year basis. Earnings are expected to be approximately $2.09 per share, up 11.0% on a year-over-year basis.Conclusion
Ametek manufactures and sells electronic instruments and electromechanical devices. The company reported a decent third quarter with both earnings and revenues increasing year over year.
We remain encouraged by the improving order rates in the quarter. Also, the company gave modest fourth-quarter guidance and strong earnings expectations for 2013, reflecting an improving demand environment.
We believe that Ametek's new products, accretive acquisitions and Global & Market expansion will continue to drive growth. Recently, Ametek acquired 3D measurement technologies and services manufacturer - Creaform, Inc. - for approximately $120 million in an attempt to expand into a high-growth niche market in portable, non-contact metrology applications.
However, we remain concerned about the continued soft economic conditions and believe that the share price will remain range bound in the near term.Other Stocks to Consider
Currently, Ametek has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Other stocks that have been performing well and are worth a look include Melco Crown Entertainment Limited ( MPEL ), Kemper Corporation ( KMPR ) and Fiserv, Inc. ( FISV ). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

SC alum to speak at Marion County Public Library
The Marion County Public Library is pleased to announce an upcoming author's visit. Bambi Nancy Shen, author of The Uncrushable Rose: A Memoir from Concentration Camp to Becoming a Free Woman, will be visiting the library on Tuesday, May 21 for a short speaking engagement and book signing. The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. at the library.
Bambi's life journey began in communist China. Through her hard work and studies, she won a catholic scholarship to attend St. Catherine College and arrived in America (and St. Catharine) in 1958. Following is the book-jacket write up:
WRONG.....WRONG.....WRONG....her mother's words sounded like a gong, over and over, tolling the doom of her destiny - a Chinese born the undesired gender. These words permeated the youth of author Bambi Shen, who, like all Chinese women, has had to contend with the legacy of millennia of cultural subordination and oppression of women.
This moving memoir paints life in World War II Japanese concentration camps from Bambi's three-year-old eyes. Near-death experiences there, as interpreted by her Buddhist nanny, formed the foundation of Ms. Shen's philosophy of living in gratitude and being of service to others. In the darkest days of the internment, her diplomat father taught her to learn to thrive, in spite of any outer circumstances.
Still, surviving concentration camps and wars seemed easier than breaking free from her mother's criticisms and negative prophecies. Bambi's escape from these took the form of academic success, enabling her to receive a Catholic scholarship and make her way to college in the United States.
Arriving with only $500 in her purse, Bambi learned to look for the gate in every wall. With the help of the nuns of St. Catharine College and the teachings of Unity, Bambi found her voice and her strength and went on to build a thriving life over the next five decades. Having endured and overcome racial discrimination and domestic violence, Bambi has become a teacher of cross-cultural understanding and an advocate for the empowerment of women everywhere.
You may also find additional information on Bambi's website: www.uncrushablerose.com
Bambi has also sent the library limited quantities of her book available for sale for anyone that would like to read the book prior to her visit. They are available at the library for $18.95. Stickers the author has placed on the books indicate that proceeds benefit "Homes from the Heart."
Founded in the Dominican tradition in 1931 and sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Peace, St. Catharine College, a Catholic, Dominican college inspired by its founders, welcomes all to the challenging pursuit of truth, preparing them to become critical thinkers, ethical leaders and engaged citizens.

This lineup is awesome :D
Type: Posts; User: JNev
This lineup is awesome :D
Ugh. These last two losses have been really terrible
Poor Locke and Worley
I can honestly say I knew once we loaded the bases in the 10th that that's how the inning would go
We'll be 34-34 if we close this out
They just said we've had at least 10 hits in 6 straight games and scored 33 runs
The marlins are 1 game out of 1st place in the NL East and we are putting a hurting on them
Okay Morton, you get 1 inning like that and that's it
Devin Mesoraco gets an honorable mention but it's definitely Lucroy. Willin Rosario needs to wake the **** up for my fantasy team's sake
Our offense is now the best in the division by Wrc+.
Very good point about Locke, he could easily get game MVP too
Big ups to Jeanmar and Polanco. I'll gladly eat my crow any night for you Mr. Gomez. Boy that one felt good not to lose
Earth to offense
Uhhhhh Jeanmar Gomez?
Barely a whimper. Ugly inning
Please let Cutch have another at bat
Jeanmar is who we're hanging our hopes on. Jeanmar Gomez.
So we're happy with 3 of 4 from the Cubs right?
I like this Volquez
Wanna see some offense against Shark from the top of the order. That would be a huge confidence booster. Can't lean on Volqy pitching a shutout
Probably didnt like the pitching matchup coming into tonight, but Cumpton showed his good side tonight and we really hit Hammel hard. Cutch literally cannot be stopped and boy is our OF fun to watch....
It seems like we're stuck at 3-4 games under .500
Rough luck for Snider in the 9th but yea that was not the fairest game ever played
That was very fun. Wouldn't have wanted it against any other team
Successful road trip though. Onto .500!

England skipper Charlotte Edwards has jumped five places to second in the Reliance ICC Women's ODI batting rankings following her impressive performances in the Royal London One-Day Series victory over India.
The 34-year-old struck 53 and 108 not out, her ninth ODI century, in the two matches at Scarborough to help her side bounce back from the Kia Test defeat to the tourists.
Edwards is denied top spot by India counterpart Mithali Raj, who hit scores of 34 and 30 respectively at North Marine Road.
England all-rounder Jenny Gunn moved to a career-high second place in the bowling standings.
Gunn, also fourth on the all-rounder list, took five wickets in two games at an economy rate of 2.95.

Hello, I have this weird issue with the posts - for example, after google caches a post of mine, and I find that page in the search - I click thru and I get the nothing found page, like if google made that particular url up and it was never a post url of my blog, I use feedwordpress, the duplicate posts filter of feedwordpress - are there any issues know with them? My urls aren't teh default wp urls - I set wp to put the post title in the urls so there's lots of keywords there - I even saw a case when somebody came to a post and after that there was page not found in that url - I then dicovered that the url changed somehow and there was one word added to it and it was accesible that way, added by feedwordpress I think - as he updated the syndicated content, making a new url for that post - but why erasing the older url of that post... This happens older and newer posts alike - could that be that posts are deleted on their own? Or what else might be causing this?
Thank you in advance!

It wouldn't be too much of a superlative stretch to say that 'AM' has become the album of the decade so far. Since its release back in September of 2013, Arctic Monkeys' fifth effort has propelled the band from British national treasures to a world-beating concern. After years of trying, it's the album that finally broke them in America, while on these shores it's racked them up NME and Brit awards, a Mercury Prize nomination, huge sales and steered them through the biggest headline gigs of their lives.
Tonight, bringing Leeds festival to a close (August 24) with a celebratory Yorkshire homecoming - and with the biggest crowd of the weekend with them - the Monkeys gave 'AM' its send off. There are still gigs scheduled overseas throughout the autumn, but as far as the UK goes, this is it for the foreseeable future. And, as far as goodbyes go, their headline overflowed with all the things a goodbye should have: celebration, nostalgia, emotion and, fundamentally, a joyous reminder of exactly why you'll miss them when they're away.
If Alex Turner and co have had criticisms levelled at them for being too polished over the last year, then tonight they seemed to be genuinely having fun. There's the white roses emblazoned on Turner's jacket (a nod to the War of the Roses) and quips about Sheffield, the singer's jokey stage chat ("You can do louder than that, come on don't be a dick," he laughs, revving the crowd up before 'When The Sun Goes Down') and the finale, where the usual kick back in of 'R U Mine?' occurs twice, a clearly improvised move as Turner gives the amused look of a man who knows he's being ridiculous but is having too much fun to care. Add that to a set that manages to pack in nearly all of 'AM' alongside one of the most solid greatest hits back catalogues of this century and you've got an inarguable triumph.
Of course, the closing of this chapter of the Sheffielders' story poses the question of where they'll go next and what they'll do next. Over the last decade, the band have slowly evolved from spiky upstarts to sultry provocateurs via side projects, solo endeavours and the odd guiding hand from their musical mates.
If their recent work points to anything, it's that the Monkeys will pick up the R'n'B baton they teased us with on 'AM' and run with it. But as the prowl of 'Humbug' lead us into the lovesick 'Suck It And See' and, in turn, its randy cousin in 'AM', there's equally as much chance that the quartet will wrongfoot us all.
As far as other projects go, a recent reunion during the Arctics' Finsbury Park shows has already teased the idea of another Last Shadow Puppets record (Turner and Miles Kane have spoken about wanting to make it happen), while drummer Matt Helders has been working on an as-yet-unreleased track with Toddla T. And, following the success of his 'Submarine' soundtrack EP, you wouldn't want to rule out any solo output either.
If most artists have to negotiate their difficult second album (and lord knows, following the gargantuan success of 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not', Arctic Monkeys know a thing or two about that), then this must be one of the first cases of facing a difficult sixth. Five albums in and Arctic Monkeys have surpassed their own heights and created their own challenge with it. Tonight was a righteously brilliant send off for an album truly deserving off it. We may have seen the last of 'AM' in the UK now, but Arctic Monkeys have the look of a band just getting into their stride.

If you are looking for a super-luxurious toilet to answer nature's call, then Kohler's upcoming smart toilet, Numi, is just for you.
University Place, Wash. -- Police in University Place, Wash., said a restaurant surveillance camera recorded a burglar hiding in a bathroom ceiling for two hours.
Investigators said the video depicts the man, dressed in jeans and a blue hoodie, entering Captain Nemo's restaurant in University Place about 10 minutes before closing time Saturday and heading straight for the bathroom.
Police said the man hid in the bathroom ceiling for about two hours while waiting for the restaurant to empty. The footage depicts him emerging, taking $5,000 and fleeing out a back door.
Officers said they are seeking evidence from the scene and are asking for the public's help in identifying the man in the footage.
Akron, Ohio -- An Ohio woman was surprised by a knife-wielding robber in a clown mask while sitting on her toilet, police said.
Cory Buckley, 20, allegedly broke into the Akron home of Jacqueline Cutright, 70, through a basement window Saturday, police told WCMH-TV in Columbus.
Cutright said the clown robber stole her car and escaped with $28 and about $1,000 worth of costume jewelry.
He demanded to know where she kept her drugs and money.
"I said, 'Boy, did you break into the wrong house," Cutright said.
Cutright feared the robber was going to take a silver bracelet a friend gave her.
Liverpool -- A toilet reportedly used by former Beatle John Lennon sold for $18,341 to an unnamed bidder at a Beatles convention held in Liverpool, organizers say.
That's nearly 10 times what the porcelain pot was expected to bring, auction organizer Stephen Bailey told the BBC.
Lennon used the lavatory during three years he lived at Tittenhurst Park, Berkshire, between 1969 and 1972.
"It is unbelievable," Baily said after the sale. "We had bids coming in from all over the place but it went to a private overseas buyer."
The auction was part of the 33rd Beatles Convention in The Paul McCartney Auditorium at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
Karlstad, Sweden -- Officials in a central Sweden city said they built a special jetty for gulls to perform their business away from local yachts.
Karlstad municipality officials said they built the dedicated lavatory jetty away from the local marina after other measures, including scarecrows, failed to stop the birds from defecating on yachts, The Local reported Thursday.
"We have built a platform -- the gulls like to sit and enjoy the view," Karlstad municipality worker Jens Gustafsson said.
He said his team will tow the jetty away from the marina Friday to see if the gulls follow.

If you are migrating test cases containing shared steps from one server to another via TFS integration platform chances are the link between Test Case and shared step is broken.
Even though both workitems Test Case and shared step will be transferred properly and the TFs link between them will also be transferred properly.
Test case internally refer to shared step, by internally I mean Test Case work Item type internally has Shared steps embedded in them. Those links will not be updated.
When you open the test case in Microsoft Test Manager you might
a) Be unable to see shared step at all
b) See shared step which refer to some other ids.
How to know if you have hit the issue:-
If any of the above mentioned scenario is happening and you can go to Links tab of test case and see the proper link for shared step then you have hit the issue
Use the utility attached. All the new work items created will have a link to original work item via ID in history field. This utility tries to get ID of original shared step from which it was created. And then it walks over all the test cases and tries to update the original shared step ID with newly created shared step ID.
Example on how to run utility
UpdateSharedSteps.exe <Project Collection> <Project>
You will need to have permissions to modify existing work items in the project.
Things you should know:-
1) If you have used some other server thanEnglish:- The code is attached in the exe, try updating the correspondingstring which is in history and see if it works
2) If you have customized your categories /workitems chances are this exe might not work: - You might need to change the query appropriately here.

text: On November 22, 2011 at 8:09pm the Bonifay Police Department received a report of a 2008 Ford Mustang that was stolen from the parking lot of a local convenience store. An officer spotted a car meeting the description within seconds of the call being dispatched. The officer proceeded to turn around and obtain a license plate number on the vehicle. It was then that the driver took evasive action, passed a car stopped for a red light and turned east on US Hwy. 90 towards Chipley. The driver then led Bonifay Police on a high speed pursuit in heavy rain. Speeds approached 100 miles per hour on the wet roads and neighboring agencies were contacted for assistance. The pursuit entered Washington County and continued almost to the city limits of Chipley. It was then that the driver pulled over to the side of the road near the Hutchinson Road intersection. The driver and passenger were taken into custody without incident at 8:18pm. The driver was identified as Mellissa Ann McDonald, white female, 22 years-of-age of Jacksonville. McDonald has been charged with grand theft, fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, DWLSR and possession of marijuana less than 20 grams. The passenger identified as Jeffrey Lamar Williams, black male, 37 years-of-age of Jacksonville. Williams has been charged with principle to grand theft. Both subjects were transported to the Washington County jail for first appearance and await extradition back to Holmes County. According to statements obtained post Miranda, the couple was attempting to get to Jacksonville from Pensacola and had been dropped off in Bonifay. While outside the convenience store they observed a vehicle with the keys in the ignition and they were just trying to get back home.

Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Not here to talk about how awful life is for the Cub fan right now.
It's a day off, lets talk about flip flops - this'll make Cubs sense later.
They have an underdog kind of history, flip flops, especially in the midwest.
When I came to Chicago in the 80's, people didn't wear flops except in the shower.
There were sandals, sure, but sandals have that Jesus thing going on.
The real midwestern flip flop in the 80's was a hideous boat shoe called the Sperry Topsider, leather and sometimes with tassels - like little cardigan sweaters for the feet.
They made me feel silly so...I went with flops.
The kind from Walgreen's that come in all colors.
I'd get about 6 pairs for a grand total of about 10 bucks, last all summer long.
Especially fabulous in the bleachers at Wrigley, where staying cool is a must and the beer spillage is rampant.
You can just hose 'em off after.
They've come a long way since then.
Fashionable even.
Found my favorite kind about 5 years ago at a surf shop in Kona: Reefs.
I still have 'em.
I've got a pretty big collection now, including the sporty "Fannings" with the super cool beer bottle opener on the bottom (which surprisingly I've never used).
Okay, back to the White Sox, the flops, and the point of this little chat.
If I'm going to Wrigley and I put on a pair of flops, I can look at my sock drawer and say, "Fuck the socks."
And I do, every time.
Say that out loud right now.
Awesome, right?
Tim Souers is the illustrator and author of Cubby Blue and appreciates the opportunity to guest blog here at The Cub Reporter.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I don't think it's very hygienic to place your beer bottle up against the bottom of your footwear. That's just me. (Keen slide-in sandals wearer.)
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Nice artwork again. What are you using, watercolors and black ink?
I have to admit, I dislike flipflops anywhere but at the beach or the locker room.
When I was seven I was chasing my brother around my grandparents house in stockinged feet. I slipped and busted my lip open on an end table in my grandfather's den. All the way to the hospital the only thing I would say around my crying was 'NO MORE SOX! NO MORE SOX!'
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Obviously you have not used the bathroom facilites at Wrigley because you do not want to be wearing flip flops in there.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Yeah, I go full hip-length waders in there.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
No shame in wearing Depends to Wrigley.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I don't quite get the flip-flop Cub connection, but I am wearing a pair of "Reefs" as I write. I love 'em.
But, as Jacos says, I personally would not wear them into Wrigley's men's rooms at any time.

No Wonder the Old Time Players do not like the net
Joe Morgan's embellishment
Hawk got nailed a few weeks ago for the same thing talking about a game he was in and he even wasn't with the team.
Joe tell us about the time you told Babe Ruth not to be so cocky before he called his shot.
Re: No Wonder the Old Time Players do not like the net
Awesome. I watched that and thought it seemed too perfect.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Who was it that said the highlight of their season is listening to Ozzie complain about Wrigley?
Ozzie strikes! After the Brewers series...
Everytime I go to Wrigley I puke...
Start a "send Ozzie a bottle of Pepto-bismol" campaign, anyone?
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
This will be a good series for one team or the other to turn their shit around. I have zero optimism about the Cubs right now, but I'm not sure Sox fans feel a whole lot better.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I still have 'em.
Who's shooting bullets at your feet, and why?
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
The Cubs have been shooting themselves in the foot a lot recently. Do these flip-flops come with cleats?
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I wonder what the asking price on DeRosa is at this point? Apparently Billy Beane kicked the tires recently.
Even if Chavez's rehab goes well, Oakland is likely to find other help at third. The A's made a call on Cleveland utilityman Mark DeRosa, who is available, but the team believes the asking price is probably too high for a player who is in the final year of a deal. DeRosa might be a consideration this offseason
Off Day
Looks like the Iowa Cubs are streaming on the internet and maybe even have video if you're so inclined. Having a little trouble getting the audio though.
Speaking of Iowa - amazing but true department. Jake "The Hammer" Fox went two for five last night with a triple, and managed to lower both his batting average and slugging percentage.
Re: Off Day
Somehow, I cannot imagine Jake "The Hammer" hitting a triple.
Someone must have fallen down.
Re: Off Day
Keep in mind that in the PCL guys like The Hammer and Dubois are allowed to patrol the outfields.

I feel bad for the guy, but I have to say, Thank God that is over.

Freel to start rehab tonight
and Blake Parker tearing up Iowa....0.69 ERA and 7 saves in 13 IP, 14 K, 5 BB...
Cubs have the converted catcher to pitcher market cornered....
Other minor league stuff...
Kyle Burke leads all of professional baseball with 27 doubles...he was the bounty for Michael Barrett in 2007.
Cubs 5th round pick Wesley Darvill has signed.
and I think this was mentioned, but Doug Deeds demoted to Tennesee, Brandon Guyer and Todd Blackford demoted to Daytona (Blackford was acquird for Todd Hollandsworth once upon a time).
Re: Other minor league stuff...
we still have someone in our system from the holly trade? yeesh...
Re: Other minor league stuff...
The Cubs got two pitchers in the deal: Angelo Burrows and Blackford. Burrows struggled mightily in 2006 and was released, after which he went on to Independent leagues. Blackford didn't fair well his first couple years in the Cubs system, but he finally put it together in 2008 going 7-1 with a 2.40 ERA for Daytona. He just turned 24 last week, and is 6'4" 205, but he is running out of time, especially since he struggled to start the season at the next (AA) level.
I should also note that Justin Berg was acquired just two days prior to Blackford from the Yankees for Matt Lawton.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
okay...i'll go ahead and bite. wtf is the cartoon about?
it reminds me of andy warhol's early work for Life magazine, but beyond that i can't find a commentary or joke in there.
-edit- okay, i just read the writeup under it...i dunno how i missed it the first few times. i blame the "new" button on the posts, the liberal media, and P.C. thugs. muh bad.
Some scouties take on the Cubs...
One veteran scout claims if he were turning in a report for the White Sox about the Cubs, he would write across the front: "Hurry."
As in, hurry and get there before all those veteran Cubs wake up.
Re: Some scouties take on the Cubs...
I would write:
"As a general rule, just pitch a damn breaking ball low and away out of the zone. They'll swing.
Trust me."
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Steve Stone flames Jim Hendry on Chicago Tribune Live tonight: "Kenny Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed, no-trade offer to a DH who happens to be playing left field for the Chicago Cubs right now....". Only slightly out of context. He smoked other contracts the Cubs are currently burdened with, and again brings up St. Kenny as the Patron Of The Good Contract. (I had hoped his ax was ground all the way down since he started rooming with Hawk. Guess he still sees red when Jim Hendry is the subject.)
Then he makes an appearance on WGN Sports Central (!), and during an interview with Crane Kenney, he and Kap try to pin Kenney down on the flexibility Hendry might have for a mid-season deal. Kaplan brings up DeRosa specifically, and Kenney replied (paraphrasing somewhat) "DeRo is in the last year of his deal, he makes what, $2.5 million? That would probably be considered a small deal that we might be able to fit in this year's numbers." (10 minutes later, DeRo hits an RBI double for all you young fans who miss him.) So maybe the Cubs will be able to get someone in the last year of a deal, not making much. So who's a free-agent-to-be, not making a ton of money, that could help and not cost much in the way of players?
It was pointed out earlier that Will Carroll of BP spoke to the real severity of Jake Peavy's injury. Stone said the ankle is bound to at least bother him when he comes back in September and make him a less effective hurler.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
steve stone...that guy sure does have opinions.
my favorite recent-memory steve stone moment barely involves him. len/bob have a studio area and before it was finished it was a bare-wall area with a hung-crooked autograph picture of steve stone on a thumbtack hanging on the wall.
i'd love to know what's behind that, who hung it, and why len/bob left it there until they completed their studio renovation.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Stoney is a little over-the-top on that comment. Soriano isn't the most graceful outfielder in the world, but the league has a number of far worse fielders and he'll age in the same mold as Jr. I have no problem with Soriano in LF for several more years. Anyways, that's what big-market teams do. Rather, I sense some lingering resentment from Stoney.
On the larger point of Hendry giving some irresponsible contracts out, I guess I can agree with that. All those NTC reduce the flexibility of the team. Of course the team won two pennants in a row and I guess that's a nice accomplishment, but it's easy to forget seeing as how they have a 0-6 playoff record the last two years.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
Expounding on Hendry's roster moves in the offseason, he mentions that the Cubs "shipped Jason Marquis and $800,000 to Colorado for a pitcher they knew they were going to release, and by the way Jason Marquis is tied for the league lead with 8 wins....Marquis a guy Lou Piniella didn't want on the team, and who lives a block away from Jason and walks to the park with him every day - Mark DeRosa, who is traded to Cleveland for three pitchers who may help you down the road, but certainly will not help this season." Again paraphrasing only slightly, but I don't quite understand why Stoney would imply that since DeRosa was Marquis' buddy, he needs to go too.
He went on about DeRosa's stats, his 44 RBI (added to tonight against the Brewers), and "if you can count, and I know you can, that's more than Derrek Lee and Milton Bradley combined." His partner on the telecast, Frank Thomas, laughed out loud several times - as if he's a disciple of Kenny Williams now too.
I really don't buy into the whole "gotta beat the Sox - gotta beat the Cubs" mentality. It makes me sick to see kids running around in "Cubs Suck" or "Sox Suck" shirts. Too bad the media doesn't feel the same way. (Then again they make money with it.)
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
If you had been sentenced to sit next that old flatulent verbal mastubatorb who tells the same story of how he invented the batting glove(he didn't) and how good Yaz's cock taste you would be bitter against your former employer too.
Stone is probably still hurt the Cubs picked Merker and Dusty over him and he's probably right, but for all his baseball insight he still shills like a carney you can find at any country fair this summer.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
stone can't be a manager. the #1 thing a manager needs is for the people he's trying to manage to actually listen to and respect them. steve stone can barely command the respect of his peers in baseball, much less lead men.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
"Comment of the Week" goes to jacos.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
"Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed"
Of course the Sox would not have the money to make that offer.
Might as well say the Royals would not make that deal either.
I still believe that Peavy would have came to Sox if they guaranteed the final year, and Uncle Jer shot it down.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Kenny Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed, no-trade offer to a DH who happens to be playing left field for the Chicago Cubs right now
Yea... instead he will trade for a worse version in Jim Thome.
And if Stoney thinks that Soriano is a DH, then he has lost any baseball acumen that he once had.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Tribe up 8-6 on Brewers in bottom of 5th in a game that has almost reached barn burner status.
Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
"I like Gerald's approach, but if you step out of line, he gets you back quickly," Thomas said. "Von was more fundamentals. We clashed at first because his fundamental style was different from what I was taught by [former Sox hitting coach]Walt Hrniak, but we worked it out. He's a real professional and a good guy. But it will take a few weeks. They'll go backward a little before they go forward." Asked about the Cubs' hitting problems, especially regarding Alfonso Soriano, Thomas said he considers Soriano a prototypical fifth hitter.
"I've always loved him as a hitter, but I would never have had him in the leadoff spot," Thomas said. "The guy can drive in runs. Put him in the five hole." Thomas called the crosstown series one that brings a new level of intensity.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
Somewhere crunch just smiled.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
frank's not the first to bring it up...it's not radical thinking. to a lot of people it makes a whole lot of sense.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
I vote anywhere from 7-8 right now, he's been the worst hitter on the team since May 1st.
OPS since May 1st....
Lee - .976, Johnson .908, Theriot . 785, Soto - .756, Bradley . 747, Fontenot .678, Fukudome .670, Soriano - .636
the scrubs
Hill - .620, Hoff - .682 (TRADE LEE!!!!)
Reed's done most of his damage versus lefties and Theriot's OPS is all thanks to the homer binge, so I have no fucking clue what to actually do with the lineup. You can rearrange it anyway you want right now and it's not gonna score anymore runs.
.485 OPS for Soriano since getting punked on the WWE...Neifi! would be an improvement.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
ah, the great game of 30-40% success...closer to that 30% for most of MLB. go batting.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
Oh, I know that crunch. But it seems like the whole Soriano-bats-leadoff thing bothers you more than anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I think it's dumb, but Soriano is our leadoff hitter and I'm resigned to that.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
with the lack of solid power up the middle it bugged me.
once aram went down and added to it it really bugged me.
as soriano approached his .310 and below ob% it bugged me more.
at this point (and for the past week+) i see no point having him leadoff.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
I say bench 'em all, let God sort em out.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
"Natural Selection" for the Darwinists in the crowd. Not Barney, either.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
fox, fuld, clevenger, scales, taguchi, and mark johnson will get us to the playoffs. time for some wholesale changes here!
dubois would be a hell of a leadoff hitter, too.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
A 6-run, 8th inning for the Brew?! What the Fuck?!!
I am jealous!
I am pissed!
Oh, Luis Vizciano, who some of you point to as a great loss, started the inning with two straight walks, and then was removed.
And the Brew come from behind by 4 runs late to get the W.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
DeRosa hit his 12th HR...sigh.
Brewers bullpen
M. DiFelice 1.0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0.86 1.40 T. Coffey (W, 2-1) 1.1 0 0 0 0 2 0 1.19 2.48 M. Stetter (H, 13) 0.2 0 0 0 0 2 0 0.97 2.91 T. Hoffman (S, 16) 1.0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.65 0.45
WHIP and ERA are the last two columns...talk about lucking into a good bullpen.
Re: Brewers bullpen
I am extremely annoyed by this.
Re: Brewers bullpen
I was thinking about this as I watched the game. I thought, gee, how come the Cubs couldn't get those guys off the scrap heap, then flashed on the luck factor. Hoffman was the most fortunate selection of all (and we'll see how he holds up in August), but the history of middle relievers and specialists in the game seems to be when they are on, they are on, and you have to have the lucky timing to get these guys on your club. Cotts flashed brilliance at the right time for the Sox, crapped out at the wrong time for the Cubs. Milwaukee flashed on at least three of them and it's all falling into place.
I also kept thinking that the Cubs could very well snap out of it facing the likes of Pavano, Vizcaino and whoever the skinny lefty was this weekend. Hopefully the snap-out comes three games earlier.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
What exactly is a "Cubs Insider" column? This reads like Jim Hendry's wife wrote it--> http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/16239...
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
But financial resources or not, Hendry's biggest move as the trading deadline nears might be to stand pat.
I ran this through my P.R. translator machine and it said:
We might not need to make a move, though, with ownership issues all f***ed up we wouldn't be able to even if we needed to.
Recent comments
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.

Occasionally, TideNation's writers will answer a handful of questions that address a pressing topic regarding the Alabama football program. And with every Roundtable, we'll seek outside opinions. Edward Aschoff contributed to this week's roundtable.
Question: AJ McCarron showed last year he knows how to play winning football. This season, he's shown himself capable of executing the offense with remarkable precision, tossing seven touchdowns and no interceptions en route to an otherworldly 196.6 passer rating. Where does he go from here? Is he ready to take the offense to another level?
Aschoff: I've said time and again that McCarron has all the talent to be an elite player in this league and nationally. He knows it and Nick Saban knows it. The problem that he sometimes has is he presses. He tries to make the perfect play when there isn't a play to be made and mistakes happen. We saw it a few times last year, especially in the first half of the Tennessee game. He can get careless with the ball. So far, we haven't seen that from him this season. Granted, he hasn't been tested by any of the defenses he's played, but you just see a different quarterback out there. He has more to work with at receiver and the running game is stout enough that it makes the offense extremely balanced. I expect him to put up better numbers this year and be able to stretch the field as he continues to mature and take advantage of the weapons he has.
Scarborough: While McCarron has been pitch-perfect under center, we haven't seen a step forward in terms of just taking over the game. And frankly, he hasn't had to this season. When most Saturdays are over by halftime, the necessity for McCarron to take chances down the field hasn't been there. What has to be encouraging to fans is the depth at receiver and their effectiveness downfield.
Ostendorf: McCarron's been accurate. He's been smart. He's making the right decisions. But give credit to the receiving corps, too. His top three targets, Christion Jones, Kevin Norwood and DeAndrew White, are all averaging more than 20 yards per catch. That's explosive. For McCarron to take the offense to the next level, the receivers need to keep making big plays.

Automatic test pattern generators based on the stuck-fault concept are theoretically inadequate in their ability to generate test patterns for CMOS circuits. A new set of pin faults, called CMOS faults, is discussed that can represent the necessary test pattern sequences for these circuits. Processing of these faults by a new test pattern generator, called the Enhanced Test Generator (ETG), is also described.

Behavior with PHP 5.4:

-If I try to open the site and see the source code I can see the minified css link - I click on it and I get a 503 error;
-If I disable in the wp-admin the minify and refresh the site, I still can see the minified files added by W3TC - so the plugin does not turn off the minify with PHP 5.4 on.
-Everything starts to work back again if I disaple W3TC OR I go back to PHP 5.3.
Any help?
