Two unearned runs proved the Jays undoing as Creighton dropped the series finale to Omaha on Sunday, March 31, 4-2.
The loss dropped the Bluejays to 14-6 on the season, while the Mavericks moved to 6-14. Creighton claimed the series from UNO with victories in the first two games on Friday (4-3) and Saturday (11-4).
Three Creighton errors led to two unearned runs for the Mavericks, the first error coming in the opening inning. Omaha's first run came via catcher's interference, nullifying an apparent inning-ending double play that would have allowed the Jays to escape a bases loaded jam. Bluejay starter, freshman Matt Warren, was able to limit the damage to just one run as he induced a foul out and a ground out to end the threat.
Omaha added to its 1-0 lead with solo home run off the bat of Ryan Keele in the top of the third, but Creighton answered with two runs of their own in its half.
Senior Jordan Makovicka laced a single up the middle to start the rally, then freshman Ryan Fitzgerald's fly ball into left was lost in the sun for a double. Sophomore Kevin Lamb and junior Brad McKewon followed with RBI grounders to knot the game at 2-2.
Omaha manufactured a run in the fourth on a walk, sacrifice and a single to surge back out in front, 3-2. The Mavericks extended the lead to 4-2, taking advantage of a walk, a Bluejay error and an RBI ground out.
Creighton's best chance to close the gap came in the sixth as junior Mike Gerber led off with a triple into right center. Unfortunately the Jays were unable to plate Gerber, going down on strikes followed by two ground balls.
Omaha's Tyler Fox earned the win (2-1), holding Creighton to two runs on five hits in six innings. Maverick Josh Bullock picked up his fourth save of the year, allowing just two hits over the final three frames.
Warren took the loss (1-1) for the Jays, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks in 3.1 innings.
Fitzgerald led the Jays offensively with two hits, finishing 2-for-3.
The Jays return to action on Tuesday in a midweek road game in Lawrence, Kan. at 6:00 p.m. Creighton will return to MVC play next weekend as the Jays host Bradley for a three-game set beginning Friday, April 5 at 6:00 p.m.

Musical Company, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1626
This curious painting refuses to divulge its secrets. The image can be interpreted as an admonition to praise God with singing and music-making, but also as a risqué scene of seduction. The young woman's gaudy garments and red shoes are in questionable taste, and the old woman looks suspiciously like a procuress. Perhaps the painting contains a warning against immoral conduct.

Over-the-counter decongestant equals popular prescription drug in relieving hay fever symptoms
February 21, 2006
Over-the-counter decongestant equals popular prescription drug in relieving hay fever symptoms
February 21, 2006
There is no significant difference between an over-the-counter decongestant and a prescription medication that costs almost four times as much in relieving hay fever symptoms, report researchers from the University of Chicago in the February issue of Archives of Otolaryngology--Head & Neck Surgery.
The study, conducted during the 2003 ragweed allergy season in Chicago, found that daily doses of 240 mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (Sudafed® 24 Hour) were just as effective as 10 mg daily of montelukast sodium (Singulair®) at relieving symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itching, and at improving quality of life for those with hay fever--without any additional side effects.
"This came as a genuine surprise," said Fuad Baroody, MD, associate professor of surgery at the University of Chicago and director of the study. "Our hypothesis was that montelukast would have additional benefits and pseudoephedrine would interfere with sleep, but when we compared them head-to-head we found that for treatment of allergic rhinitis, these drugs at these doses were virtually identical."
In fact, pseudoephedrine had small advantages in specific categories. It was slightly more effective, for example, in reducing congestion, which it was specifically designed to do.
Despite similar results, the drugs work in completely different ways. Pseudoephedrine, designed to treat nasal congestion, constricts vessels within the nasal mucosa, thus leading to a more patent airway and less nasal congestion. It does not have known anti-inflammatory effects.
On the other hand, Montelukast, originally designed to treat asthma, antagonizes leukotrienes, substances released during the allergic response. These substances have potent inflammatory effects and are known to cause nasal congestion and contribute to chronic inflammation, which is one of the hallmarks of allergic rhinitis.
Because of these properties, montelukast was approved by the FDA to treat allergic rhinitis, and "indeed," notes Baroody, "this study is one of few that shows that montelukast causes a significant improvement in nasal airflow, an objective measure of nasal congestion, an effect shared by pseudoephedrine in this study."
Another difference between the agents is the cost. At www.drugstore.com, timed-release 240 mg capsules of pseudoephedrine cost about 80 cents a day, compared to $3.20 a day for montelukast. Since allergic rhinitis--the nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itching associated with seasonal allergies such as hay fever--affects about 40 million people in the United States, the difference can add up.
This study compared these two treatments in 58 adults with ragweed allergy during the hay fever season, from mid-August until late September, of 2003. Participants recorded their allergy symptoms, quality of life without medication, and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF--a measure of air flow through the nose) for two days before beginning the drug trial.
During the study, 30 patients took montelukast and 28 took pseudoephedrine each morning for 14 days. For these two weeks, they recorded allergy symptoms and PNIF twice a day. At the end of the study they filled out another questionnaire about quality of life and side effects.
"There were two surprises," Baroody said. "We expected pseudoephedrine to be effective against congestion, but we underestimated its impact on sneezing, runny nose, and itching."
The second was the lack of sleep problems among those taking pseudoephedrine. Although nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth and palpitations have all been associated with pseudoephedrine in previous studies, neither medication caused any significant side effects in this investigation.
"Both medications were well tolerated," note the authors, "and pseudoephedrine did not lead to any of its well-known stimulant adverse effects, likely owing to its once-daily administration in the morning and lower blood levels in the later hours of the day closer to bedtime."
Additional authors include Samantha Mucha, Marcy de Tineo, and Robert Naclerio of the University of Chicago. This study was supported in part by a medical school grant from Merck & Co. Inc., the makers of Singulair. Merck also contributed editorial suggestions during the preparation of this article. Drs. Naclerio and Baroody belong to the Speakers Bureaus of Merck & Co. Inc. and Dr. Baroody has received honoraria from Merck.

Jeff Moriarty
Associate Professor, Philosophy
What do you teach?
I teach the introductory philosophy course Problems of Philosophy, upper-level courses including Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Ethics, and a module in our new MBA program, Leadership Ethics: Decision-Making, Influence and Integrity. In all of them, we ask: "What is the right thing to do?"
Why do you like teaching at Bentley?
I like teaching here because students care about doing well in class. This means they do the required work, and do it well. I see this in class. There is important course content I want students to master, so lectures are unavoidable. But since students are prepared, we can always move past this to critically examining the issues as a class. In this environment, students learn a lot from each other as well as from me.
What is your teaching style?
I use a mix of lectures and discussion, readings and case studies. I want students to master the course content, think deeply and critically about it, and examine it from all angles. I choose classic readings that make detailed and influential arguments. Case studies help illustrate the relevance of theoretical concerns to the real world, and are chosen based on their ability to excite students about the issues. I make PowerPoint available to students so they don't have to scribble furiously in class. This gives them more time to think and ask questions.
What advice would you offer a new Bentley student?
Don't be afraid to get in touch with your professors! Send them an email, drop by during their office hours, or stop them on the quad. Discuss what you're learning in class with your professors, fellow students, friends and parents. At Bentley, you will encounter ideas that will be entirely new. Now is the time to explore them as fully as possible.

LAS VEGAS — Former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was arrested in Nevada on suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana, her second marijuana-related run-in with the law in the past three months.
Fleiss, 47, was pulled over about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday on State Route 160, near her home in Pahrump, according to the Nye County Sheriff's Department. Fleiss didn't have a license and her registration was suspended, authorities said.
Deputies also found about four ounces of marijuana and a large amount of cash with her and reported she was under the influence of the drug.
Fleiss was booked into the Nye County jail but bailed out later in the day Tuesday, jail officials said.
A phone number listed for her was disconnected.
The Tuesday arrest comes less than three months after authorities said they found nearly 400 marijuana plants growing in and around her home in Pahrump.
She reportedly told authorities she was growing marijuana without a license and said she planned to sell it to a cooperative in Las Vegas.
Prosecutors charged her in August with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, although the status of the case wasn't immediately clear Wednesday.
Fleiss once ran a high-priced Los Angeles prostitution ring providing models-turned-prostitutes to wealthy clients. She moved to Pahrump in late 2005, several years after serving 21 months in a California prison for money laundering, tax evasion and attempted pandering.
She appeared in Season 3 of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," shot in 2009, along with the late Mindy McCready, former NBA star Dennis Rodman, actors Tom Sizemore and Mackenzie Phillips, and a handful of lesser known celebrity types.
Pahrump is an unincorporated town of about 36,000 people located about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

BlackRock Inc.'s BLK, -0.57% fourth-quarter profit jumped 24% as the world's largest money manager recorded double-digit revenue growth, helped by higher assets under management.
Results beat Wall Street estimates, and BlackRock raised its quarterly dividend by 12% to $1.68 and expanded its share-repurchase program by 7.5 million shares to 10.2 million shares.
BlackRock is the biggest provider of exchange-traded funds in the U.S., although rival firms have been gaining market share of late. Firms across the ETF industry have been slashing expenses, and in October, BlackRock unveiled fee cuts on six ETFs and introduced new low-fee ETFs amid price competition from Vanguard Group Inc., Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW).
Chief Executive Laurence Fink on Thursday characterized the firm's results for the year as "strong by any measure," noting that BlackRock recorded $107.7 billion of long-term net new business during the year.
Looking forward, he said "the improving global economy provides the potential for greater market stability, but it is likely that political and regulatory dynamics, persistent low-rates and protracted periods of heightened volatility will remain key factors."
The company said net inflows in long-term products totaled $47 billion at the year's end, reflecting equity, fixed income and multiasset class product net inflows of $31.2 billion, $12.4 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. The net inflows were partially offset by alternatives net outflows of $700 million.
Total assets under management were $3.792 trillion as of the end of the fourth quarter, versus $3.513 trillion a year earlier and $3.673 trillion in the third quarter.
BlackRock reported a profit of $690 million, or $3.93 a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $555 million, or $3.05 a share. Stripping out one-time items, per-share earnings were $3.96 versus $3.06. Revenue rose 14% to $2.54 billion, reflecting strength in base fees and higher performance fees. Analysts expected earnings of $3.73 a share on $2.49 billion in revenue, according to a poll conducted by Thomson Reuters.
Last week, BlackRock said it would begin disclosing the values of its U.S. money-market funds on a daily basis, a similar move to those announced by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM).
Shares closed Wednesday at $222.24 and were inactive in recent premarket trading. The stock has risen 19% in the past 12 months.

I don't think there's any evidence of that what so ever. Jesus never spoke of Dukkha, or anatta. He never spoke of having a personal insight into paticcasamupada. These things are necessary for stream entry. Though an admirable man, with many good qualities, he was possessed of wrong view, and advocated eternalism, which the Buddha spoke against.marc108 wrote:I believe that Jesus was likely a stream-enterer due to the way he speaks and teaches around the 1st 3 fetters. I also think his contact with God and angels was not a delusion or some sort of story made up after his death, but rather that he was in contact with sort of deva(s), perhaps what had become called the Brahma Deva in Buddhism. It's interesting to think about how much of the Judeo-Christian religions central teachings have been effected by contact and influence from devas.
I don't think there's a valid argument that Jesus was a stream enterer - On the basis of what I have said above, in fact it seems like a rather erroneous conclusion, no offense intended.

The opening story of Alice Munro's rich new collection, The View from Castle Rock, glancingly refers to the talent of her ancestor, Scottish author James Hogg, for "embroidering" factual histories: i.e., he was known to practice "some canny lying of the sort you can depend upon a writer to do." Munro's own homespun genius for transforming received material into imaginative projections of how we've lived (and might have lived) has produced ten lavishly praised collections and an early novel-in-stories, and earned her a reputation as both the best short story writer on our continent and her country's probable first Nobel laureate.
In addition to The View from Castle Rock, which speculates (or, if you will, "lies") about the lives of Munro's Scottish ancestors as prelude to a compact fictional semi-autobiography, Munro's matchless work is represented this fall by Carried Away, a gathering of 17 previously published stories. The tales in Carried Away display a broad range of subject matter, emotional experience and rhetorical effects, though the settings only rarely stray beyond Munro's native rural Ontario.
Among the best: unsparing portrayals of the combative relationship between young protagonist Rose and her impulsive mother Flo ("Royal Beatings," "The Beggar Maid"); a crisply imagined mystery about a country wife who may have murdered her abusive husband ("A Wilderness Station"); the intricate account of a vulnerable nursing home patient protected and exploited by her frustrated husband ("The Bear Came Over the Mountain"); and the great title story, in which a timid librarian's life from youth through marriage and middle age is dominated by fantasies of the young soldier who possessed her imagination through all the years when they never met.
The View from Castle Rock echoes these earlier works in its concluding half ("Home"), which presents an episodic biography of its unnamed narrator, from her Ontario girlhood through first intimations of romance ("Lying Under the Apple Tree"), maturity and marriage, the aging and deaths of loved ones and confirmation of her own mortality. But the book's great achievements are the five long stories that trace the harsh lives of her Scots ancestors (the Laidlaws) in a bleak land offering "No Advantages," their emigration to North America, what and how they endured and what, so far as their descendant can piece together and imagine, became of them.
This book within a book eloquently memorializes our common past and the manner in which it formed us and continues to shape our destinies. Alice Munro has honored the world of her fathers and mothers in an echo of the promise made to the medieval Everyman: "I will go with thee and be thy guide." In the last century, we have had no better guide than this indispensable author.

Yesterday, I went to the Fabulous Food Festival. It was a bunch of booths of free samples and demos and other giveaways, but mostly businesses trying to sell their products to the masses. I think this picture explains it pretty well (if not, check out the picture at the bottom of this post.):
I tried some olive oils, and some fudge, along with some interesting things, such as tea infused chocolate. I even networked (sorta) by talking to the people who were selling chocolate bars and other chocolaty items. I did get this one guy's business card who said that I should call him when I do start up my own business and that he would give me samples of his chocolate to use. I also found this company that rents out commercial kitchen space to caterers and bakers, and other chefs that are trying to start a business, but don't have the money for kitchen space yet. I think the most random item being sold at the food festival was sheets. I didn't get what that company was doing there. There were some other non-food but food related items there, such as "pies" that weren't really pies, but little ornaments that looked like pies, but had things inside them that made them smell like pie, but then they also had other scents that I wouldn't want to associate with pie, such as lavender. Is it me, or do flowers just not belong in food? I mean sure, one could argue that fruits are flowers, too, but don't get me started there. I also tasted fennel pollen for the first time. Sure, it was mixed with other spices that you would generally use with apples, such as nutmeg, and cloves, and I wasn't really sure what exactly fennel pollen was, and it was pretty much masked by the other flavors, but I guess it was good. I also bought some honey sticks, which are meant to be eaten kinda like pixie sticks, you just bite off the end, and then suck down the flavored honey. I guess you could also squeeze it into some tea, I guess it is probably just the right amount.
I also bought chocolate covered caramel, which had sea salt on top, which, since I like sweet and salty together, was good, though this was a little too salty for my taste. Overall, an interesting experience at the festival.
Today, I was going to do some volunteering down at the Food Bank, but then had other plans, but then those plans got changed, so now I am left with just hanging out in my apartment with nothing to do. Perhaps I'll end up baking something, and therefore blogging about it later, but we'll see.

Stark County commissioners have approved the first step to establishing a county land bank that could help property owners who live near abandoned lots more quickly take ownership of those lots. Some residents in the Young Street SE neighborhood in Massillon hope to be among the first to take advantage of the new option.
Robert and Dodie Muntean hope to someday own the land they've mowed and maintained for the last 14 years.
The Massillon couple say the grassy lot next door on Highland Avenue SE that's slightly longer than a basketball court is too small for anyone else to use. They want to combine it with their existing property and build a garage.
"It isn't worth anything to anyone except us," Robert Muntean said.
The Munteans first tried to get the lot more than a decade ago. They sent two letters to the former property owners, Oliver and Virginia Sturges, whom the county treasurer says stopped paying taxes in the 1960s. Newspaper archives show that Oliver (identified under the last name Sturgis) died in August 1971 and Virginia (identified under the last name Sturgiss) died in October 1972.
The Munteans also sought help from Massillon and Stark County officials, only to be told that they would have to pay the thousands of dollars in back taxes and assessments owed on the property, plus the fees associated with the lengthy process.
"It was more than what we spent on our own house," Dodie Muntean said. "... We don't have that kind of money to throw out for a little piece of land that we were already maintaining. We just kind of gave up."
It's a frustration the Munteans share with other property owners in the Young Street SE neighborhood, a community up the hill from Republic Engineered Products where tax delinquent lots make up one-third of the real estate. Members of the neighborhood association say they've made big improvements to clean up their area and don't want these abandoned lots to attract vandals, trash and varmints.
Several property owners have staked out the abandoned lots they want to obtain — most of which have delinquent taxes and assessments that exceed the property's value. The Word of Liberty Christian Center, whose parishioners clog Young Street NE when the church has a special event, would use the land next door for a parking lot. Frank Slocum, who first moved into the neighborhood as a renter before buying and remodeling the house across the street in October, wants the three vacant lots that flank his Young Street property to erect a garage and build a swimming pool.
Stark County officials say the Massillon neighborhood is a poster child for why the county needs a land bank, which can acquire abandoned and foreclosed properties and transfer them clear of tax liens to neighboring property owners or interested buyers.
"It's very clear that the chance of really collecting the delinquent taxes in a neighborhood like this is very nominal," said Auditor Alan Harold, who recently met with the Young Street SE Neighborhood Association to introduce the land bank concept. "The land bank gives us a tool to work a lot more quickly with these folks."
Current methods of obtaining delinquent and vacant properties can take 18 months to complete; a land bank can transfer a property in less than three months.
Last week, commissioners took the first steps to establishing the county's land bank, formally known as the Stark County Land Reutilization Corp., by authorizing Stark County Treasurer Alexander Zumbar to file its articles of incorporation with the state. Stark County is the ninth county to take advantage of a 2009 state law change making a land bank an option for counties with a population of at least 60,000.
Those in the audience at the meeting, including Dodie Muntean and Carole Clark who founded and leads the Young Street SE Neighborhood Association, clapped and cheered after the vote. Joel Owens, director of the Community Building Partnership, also was visibly delighted.
Owens, whose nonprofit agency received a grant from the Stark Community Foundation to hire land bank consultants, has been working with Zumbar since last spring to get the county land bank established.
He believes the land bank will provide a more flexible planning tool for officials to fight blighted neighborhoods.
The land bank could take over tax-foreclosed properties whose owners cannot be found, low-value parcels that lenders, such as Fannie Mae, or federal agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), no longer want and land that private owners or probate estates don't want to maintain anymore. Once any liens are wiped from the property, land bank officials could work with community leaders to decide how best to put the property back into tax-generating use, whether by transferring it to a neighbor, demolishing an existing building, bundling it with other properties for a developer or turning it over to a nonprofit like Habitat for Humanity.
Stark County's land bank will be governed by a board of directors that's a separate, community improvement corporation with county, municipal and township leaders as members. It will not be a county agency, but will be authorized to operate on behalf of the county. The initial five-member board of directors includes Treasurer Zumbar, Commissioners Janet Weir Creighton and Thomas Bernabei and representatives yet to be appointed by Canton and the Stark County Township Association. The five could later choose to expand the board's membership to seven or nine people.
Commissioners still must authorize the land bank to act on the county's behalf and approve a land reutilization plan created by the new board of directors. They also must decide how to fund the land bank.
Zumbar believes commissioners should divert 5 percent of money collected from delinquent tax payments for the land bank's primary operating income, an option he estimates would generate between $250,000 to $500,000 a year. That money would be on top of the 5 percent the prosecutor and treasurer already keep to offset their expenses for collecting back taxes. If Zumbar's suggestion is approved, the 10 percent would come off the top of any payments made on late taxes before the payments are forwarded to schools and other governmental subdivisions.
School officials, who initially questioned the concept, have said they do not oppose the land bank, and have asked for a seat on the board of directors.
Zumbar believes the land bank could acquire its first property in June. Residents in the Young Street SE neighborhood hope the abandoned properties in their community will be among the first on the land bank's list.

For the second straight year the game came down to the wire, but again ETSU could not overcome free throw shooting by Shanara Hollinquest. Last season the post player nailed the game-winning freebies with 4.3 ticks left inside
To go along with Wiles' career night, juniors Siarre Evans (
The Lady Bucs have now lost 23 of the last 30 games played in
Both teams showcased an offensive clinic in the opening five minutes as they combined to go 11-for-17, and ETSU led, 13-12, heading into the first media timeout. The Lady Bucs gained a little breathing room over the next three minutes, using a 10-3 run to gain a 23-15 advantage, but six unanswered by UTC cut the margin to two, 23-21, with 8:08 left in the half. Wiles' second trey of the half halted the brief run and gave ETSU another spark, as the Lady Bucs rattled off nine consecutive points to extend their lead to 32-21 with less than five minutes remaining before the break. ETSU did not let up as they grabbed a pair of 13-point leads thanks to Kami Phillips' (
After struggling from the field on Saturday, the Lady Buccaneers made up for it by shooting 42.5 percent (17-40) in the first half. ETSU was led by Wiles' hot hand as she led all scorers with 12, and she knocked down two of the Lady Bucs' five treys. Pressure defense gave the Lady Mocs fits in the opening stanza by coughing the ball up 11 times - leading to 14 points on the offensive end for ETSU.
ETSU used the opening minute of the second to half to good use by pushing its lead to 15, but then a 16-2 UTC run saw it diminish to 52-51, until a lay in by freshman Gwen Washington (
From there, Wiles came out of the under eight media timeout and drained a jumper from the corner, but three straight three-point baskets and another Hollinquest layup gave UTC all the momentum they needed as they took a 69-61 advantage with 5:49 on the clock.
The Lady Bucs stayed with the Lady Mocs cutting the lead to one, 70-69, but a missed jumper by Devin Thompson (
Then, after a pair of free throws by Tenisha Townsend, Evans drove the lane and cut it to three, 74-71, but back-to-back missed turnover calls by the officials, led to Hollinquest being fouled with 14 ticks remaining. Again she came back to haunt the Lady Buccaneer faithful by nailing both and ending the contest.
For the game ETSU shot 39.7 percent (31-78), compared to
Things do not get any easier for the Lady Bucs as they head home to take on 12th-ranked Vanderbilt Friday night. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside Memorial Center. Come out and support the ETSU women's team as they "Pack the House" and look to break last season's all-time attendance record of 1,236.

So I got to wondering, "What information can be brought up in an arbitration hearing that could tilt the panel one way or the other?" First, let's talk about some rules in arbitration hearings:
1. Sides cannot bring up team finances, previous offers, comments from the press, or salaries in other sports (that last one slays me).
2. Sides can talk about performance and leadership
3. Sides can discuss team record and attendance
4. Sides can discuss "special accomplishments"
5. Sides can discuss salaries of comparable players
Let's get to it. And keep in mind, I'm not advocating either position (until the end, I guess). I'm just trying to think of what each side might say...
Wandy's Case
1. Career highs in Wins, ERA, WHIP, IP, K:BB ratio, ERA+
2. Led team in Wins, IP, ERA, WHIP, Strikeouts, ERA+
3. Opponents had a slash-line average (against) of .250/.309/.386 in 2009. LHBs had an OPS of .502 against
4. Named 2009 Astros' pitcher of the year
5. Joe Blanton just signed a 3-year, $24m deal
Tal's Case
1. While Wandy was 9-3 at home with a 2.08 ERA, he was 5-9 on the road with an ERA almost two points higher (4.05).
2. Wandy was pretty inconsistent. Look at his monthly numbers...
April: 1.69 ERA/1.03 WHIP. 2.25 K:BB ratio, 0HR
May: 2.78 ERA/1.40 WHIP. 3.89 K:BB, 1HR
June: 5.90 ERA/1.59 WHIP. 1.75 K:BB, 11HR
July: 0.75 ERA/0.94 WHIP. 4.86 K:BB, 2HR
August: 4.00 ERA/1.25 WHIP. 2.38 K:BB, 5HR
Sept/Oct: 3.41 ERA/1.27 WHIP. 6.33 K:BB, 2HR
3. Sure, he had a great year, but Wandy didn't receive a single Cy Young vote.
What am I missing? I think Wandy has a pretty good case...

How Wandy's arbitration case might proceed
Labels: Apparatus, Arbitration, Wandy Rodriguez
2 comments:

I'll take a stab at making Tal's case.
Wandy has 4.105 years of service time. Last offseason Zach Greinke had 4.057 years of service time.
Like Greinke had at the time, Wandy's 2 most recent seasons were sub-4.00 ERA.
Wandy: 3.54 ERA, 3.02 ERA
Greinke: 3.69 ERA, 3.47 ERA
In his arbitration, Greinke only asked for $4.4 million. And although Wandy's ERA was a bit better, Greinke was significantly younger.

Well you see, we can't be genuine about our beliefs. We have to just be angry at God. That way we're much easier to deal with.[1] 1. And by deal with, I mean dismiss.
I think it's a great show and I believe that if the writers allowed Sheldon to come out of the closet as an atheist it would do for the atheist community what Ellen Degeneres and Will and Grace did for the gay community as far as acceptance goes.
For what its worth, I prefer to think of Sheldon as asexual. You guys all know im pro-gay, but I dont think it "works" with that character. imo.
No, I do not believe in the big bang theory. I accept the big bang theory as a precise, possibly accurate model of our understanding of the reality we all share. This model is based on models of physics that allow us to basically create, say, a GPS unit. A GPS unit requires some electronic intelligence, which we are capable of building because our models of quantum mechanics allow us to dope, with high precision, the transistors that make the base for the processor in the device, exploiting the known laws of quantum mechanics. The use of GPS satellites depends on the accuracy of our models for electromagnetism in order to transmit information to and from large objects orbiting the Earth - large objects, by the way, that mankind basically throw around the Earth fast enough so that they won't fall for a really really long time. The actual process of geolocation, allows us to develop algorithms that take into account the relativistic model of gravity that allows us to determine a location on the planet Earth within tens of centimeters of accuracy.

Offers a wide and smooth frequency response with minimal feedback.
The CROWN PCC-130SW is a surface-mount small supercardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and teleconferencing. With its small size it is less conspicuous
on a conference table than comparable mics and because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-130SW minimizes background noise and feedback.
The microphone uses the principle of phase coherency achieved by mounting a small-diameter mic capsule very near a boundary. Direct and reflected sound waves arrive at the mic in-phase, and add coherently. This enhances sensitivity, clarity and reach. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line power module. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130SW has a low-impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss.
This inconspicuous boundary mic also features a silent-operating membrane switch that is normally off. This switch can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The 130SW is intended for multiple-microphone use on a conference table where each person wants control of his or her microphone. The microphone attenuates 70 dB when the switch is in the off position.
Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130SW will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.
Included with each PCC-130SW is a 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded microphone able with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output).
- Supercardioid polar pattern reduces background noise and provides an impressive gain-before-feedback
- CROWN PCC technologie (phase coherent cardioid) prevents phase interference due to table sound reflections
- Programmable, silent operating on/off membrane switch
- Wide and smooth frequency response
- Exceptional performance and small size
- Three-position bass-tilt switch

In Lieu Of Flowers
When I die, I want FLOWERS! Not just an urn wreath...not just a family spray, I want an obscene amount of flowers...If someone wants to send money to a charity of choice in my name that is ok. I would hope that I had made a positive impact on enough lives that I had lots of friends who would send flowers. If they just pick flowers from their yard or from a field; I would love that just as much...Once, I had two AIDS patients who lived together and died within days of each other...Tim and Jim...They were as we say in the south, Dandies...Always into something and just plain ole trouble…But, you just had to love them..I buried them in a cookie jar thqt was donated by a local potter, in my family cemetery with a do it yourself funeral because I could not get a single preacher who would do a funeral for an AIDS patient... And in one of the most touching moments I have ever seen, a grandmother and her young grandson walked into the cemetery, with a coffee can covered in aluminum foil and filled with flowers of the field..I could imagine both of them carefully and thoughtfully taking the only vessel that they had and covering it with foil...they then walked about a mile by themselves and handpicked flowers...a coffee can full of wildflowers. Every flower picked to show Tim and Jim how much they were loved and would be missed...They said that they sang gospel hymns while picking the flowers...Can you see it in your mind? I can and I hope that you can, too.
While I was living and working in Florida, at one of the Crown Jewel of cemeteries for SCI, Woodlawn Memorial Park, I saw thousands of sprays of flowers...WOW, do they ever know how to knock out fabulous flowers! Everyone ALWAYS asks me why I like working at cemeteries? One of the best things I can say is that I love flowers and get to receive huge bouquets of them several times a day. I get to see them and smell their beautiful scents all day long...I get to see how much people are touched by the sentiment that words cannot express... I have never seen anyone weeping with pride over a piece of paper with a number on it...In Lieu of Flowers is great...I am all for donating to charity...I was Excretive Director of a 501(c)3.. I know how much donations mean, I really do but, I have never seen the thank you phone calls or the thank you notes that I have seen by a single bouquet of flowers…store bought or handpicked!
I always send flowers, not that I am that special, I just love to make people happy. I want people that I love to know how much I love them and how very much I will miss them. I have the best florist in the world, Marie's Flowers on Albert Pike in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. All I have to do is call them up and tell them what it is for and they magically read the mind of the one I am sending flowers to and when we see the spray it is magically the sentiment that I was hoping it would be. We once had a friend who was a Cheyenne Medicine Man, Al Tallbird and his beautiful wife, Beverly... She called us to her deathbed and asked us to take care of her husband after she was gone and she wished for flowers at her funeral…She wanted everyone to know that she was loved...My sentiment exactly..I called Marie's and told them who she was and what she was like...We picked up the spray to take to Oklahoma...IT WAS STUNNING!! Autumn flowers with pussywillow and pheasant feathers...whenever I find my box of photos I will post a picture of it….
My childhood friend, Frank Rapley's father, David Rapley was one of the first Marines to set foot on forgiven soil in WWII…He came home from saving the world to raise a family and lead our community..He loved flowers and always sent flowers to the deceased...I found this out when I called to order flowers for Mr. Rapley... Joanne, at Marie's Flowers, answered the phone and said that the family was just in and said that he hated In Lieu of Flowers. Joanne and I talked a long time about why people feel the need to say please send money instead of flowers and I told her that I had sat with hundreds of families while planning a service and felt that for whatever reason, people feel guilty about having people making a fuss over them. They have all of these excuses like "the flowers die" ..."it is a waste of money"...I always ask how they would feel if someone sent them flowers on their birthday? They would be thrilled!! I asked them if they had ever been to a wedding where there were not any flowers and they look at me like I am crazy. (I am but, that isn't the point) Would you expect a bride to not have a bouquet? Don't you want to catch it?? Of course!!! I tell them that a wedding only lasts an hour and then the marriage might only last a few years...yes, I am a little jaded…Then there is a second marriage...Would there be flowers..Absolutely!! So, why in the world would you not have as many flowers at a funeral as you would a wedding? Think about it, it is the last party and celebration that your loved one will ever attend…I feel that it should be a blow out and a true send off...
When I go to a funeral or memorial Service, I think about, Are the flowers beautiful and have the feel of the soul of the deceased? How about the scripture, will it bless the departed? Is the music foot tapping and does it make you want to sing along in joy and sorrow...can you pour your heart out, too? And I love a good eulogy...I want it to be thought provoking and mindful of the sence of the person that it is intended to honor and I want to cry and then laugh..I want to know that everyone involved had the opportunity to mourn and then honor the wishes of the loved one...and I feel that part of the mourning procces is that we , I, have the opportunity to express my feelings with flowers! If any of you don't want a beautiful spray of flowers just let me know and I will count out the pennies and write a cold number on a small piece of paper and send it to an unknown address and let a clerk open it and put it in a pile...or I can send flowers? We always take flowers ot the cemetery after the death when we visit..Why? Why do we feel the need to keep flowers on the grave and not at the funeral?
I have given much thought to my funeral and how I can get a lot of flowers and mourners…I am going to have a raffle...for every $10.00 a person spends on Flowers They will get a raffle ticket...we will draw for something every 15 minutes..After a song of my choice...then at the very end...At the cemetery after I am inurned, there will be a drawing for a one week's vacation anywhere in the world, I have a book to choose the resort from...I think it will work! What do you think?

I'm with you - I want flowers! I love flowers. I've been so happy the past couple of weeks because the flowers are finally coming out. By the way, my current research on my grandmother's Norman family is currently centered around the Hot Springs area; there are a whole bunch of them in Peak Cemetery. Love the stories and pictures in this post.ReplyDelete

Sharks aim to get back to winning formula in Game 5by Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- Less than 24 hours after the San Jose Sharks lost 6-3 to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 of their Western Conference First Round series, Sharks coach Todd McLellan gathered his players Friday afternoon to watch video of that defeat.
McLellan hammered home the same message he delivered late Friday night in his postgame interview at Staples Center: The Sharks' net play wasn't strong enough at either end of the ice.
The Sharks have a 3-1 lead in their best-of-7 series with Game 5 on Saturday at SAP Center (10:30 p.m. ET; CNBC, RDS2, CBC, FS-W, CSN-CA). They are looking to make amends, end the series, and avoid a Game 6 in Los Angeles.
"They are going to the net hard trying to push [goaltender Antti Niemi] in the crease, keep him in the crease," Sharks center Logan Couture said. "We have to box out, get sticks [on pucks] and then on the opposite end go to the net hard on [Kings goaltender Jonathan] Quick and make him uncomfortable. Tip-in goals, rebound goals, that's how we've scored all series. We have to get back to that."
The Sharks won the first three games by a combined score of 17-8 before falling hard Thursday.
"We allowed six goals, so our net play wasn't great," Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic said. "We only scored three, so it wasn't good enough in the offensive zone too. We've got to be good in both ends."
Stanley Cup Playoff history says the Sharks are in great shape to advance. Three NHL teams have overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-7 series.
The Sharks also own a decided home-ice advantage against the Kings. San Jose has won five straight home playoff games against Los Angeles, three last year in their second-round series and the first two this year.
"They were desperate," Couture said of the Kings' in Game 4. "We played desperate as well. But it's going to be different coming into our building. Our fans are going to be loud. We have to start well. Hopefully get the first goal and play with the lead."
The Sharks grabbed a 3-0 lead at home in Game 1 and cruised to a 6-3 victory. In Game 2, they fell behind 2-0 in the first period but scored seven unanswered goals in a 7-2 rout.
Vlasic said the Sharks have no reason to be nervous or put undue pressure on themselves.
"We're up 3-1, and we can close it out at home tomorrow," Vlasic said. "So we're in a great situation and guys will be ready to play tomorrow."
The series between these Pacific Division rivals has been physical and heated from the start, but the temperature appeared to go up even higher late in the third period with the Kings in command.
At one point while Sharks forward James Sheppard was scuffling with a Kings player, Los Angeles defensemen Willie Mitchell skated by and popped him in the head. Sharks forward Andrew Desjardins quickly came over the boards and onto the ice to confront Mitchell.
After the final horn, Sharks forward Brent Buns and Kings defenseman Robyn Regehr began trading blows.
The Sharks took five roughing penalties and two five-minute fighting majors in the third period. The Kings took three roughing penalties, one cross-checking minor and two five-minute fighting majors.
Does McLellan expect more scrums and fights Saturday?
"It's funny," he said. "We're talking about what goes on after the whistle. The important stuff goes on between the whistles. That'll certainly be a focus of ours, to make sure we channel our energy and focus between the whistles. We don't have to get involved in that stuff. It's a waste of time and energy. We'll approach the game that way."
McLellan sounded more concerned with the number of power-play chances the Kings have had the past two games. L.A. was 2-for-4 in Game 3 and 1-for-5 in Game 4.
"When you look at some of the penalties we've received, too many of them have occurred in the offensive zone, which is normally where you don't take them," McLellan said. "You normally are drawing penalties when you're in the offensive zone.
"We talked about that after Game 3. You want to play aggressive and you want to play on the edge, but you can't play in the penalty box. Both teams have been guilty of that somewhat. But we'll try and clean that up as well."

BSISD to seek class size waiver
Big Spring Independent School district officials are asking for a do-over, at least where state-mandated student-teacher ratios are concerned.BSISD trustees will are expected to seek a waiver of the ratio requirement when they hold their regular monthly meeting at 5:15 p.m. Thursday in the high school board room.The state mandate, which applies to grades kindergarten through fourth, requires that school districts have at least one teacher per 22 students at each of the grade levels. But an influx of students this year has forced BSISD to exceed that ratio, particularly in kindergarten classes.The district has 59 more students enrolled kindergarten classes than this time last year. Overall elementary enrollment stands at 2,163 students, up 121 from a year ago.BSISD is looking for teachers to bring class sizes back into compliance with state regulations, but it is competing with several other area school districts in the same situation."We're still looking for (teachers)," Executive Director of Instruction and Personnel Anne McClarty said last month. "But it's a hard chore — we're in the same boat as everyone else. We'll probably have to wait for December and the (college) graduates who will be available then."The district also has had to shuffle teachers from one campus to the next — McClarty said teachers had to be transferred from Moss Elementary to Marcy Elementary to deal with increased enrollment at the latter campus.McClarty said waiver approval is largely a pro forma exercise, at least for now.In other business, trustees will consider:• Personnel matters.• Policy updates.• District and campus improvement plans.

There are several forums going on. It will obviously be a bad time for Bismarck and people will want to chatter about it. Lets keep all the related talk in here.
The latest projection is for the dam to hold at 85,000 cfs through June 8th. Unfortunately, this is not in good news. It is a means to allot time for Bismarck / Mandan and other downstream communities and homes to prepare for what is coming June 9th.
On June 9th the dam will be pushing 105,000 cfs. It has been told the rainfall out west in the last couple weeks has equaled the ANNUAL rainfall. You simply do not and cannot plan for that.
Releases may need to go even further if we get rain events. Plus obviously, we have record snowfall on the way.
Not good folks but it is no time to ridicule, panic or place blame. Quite frankly, Mother Nature is winning and we will leave it at that.
Thanks for understanding and lets remember Fargo and their fights. Together, they got through this and at one point in time they were in uncharted territory. Bismarck has never seen this and it will take strong efforts from our citizens to get through it. But I believe we can.

With grandparents in the business, Joe Dunbar spent much of his Virginia childhood helping out in restaurants.
With grandparents in the business, Joe Dunbar spent much of his Virginia childhood helping out in restaurants. Even after his grandparents moved to Florida when he was 9 or 10, Dunbar would come down to spend summers with them, working in the kitchen of the breakfast-and-lunch place they opened in downtown St. Petersburg in 1989.
With high school came sports teams and summer-training commitments that kept him away, but it didn't take long for Dunbar to get back onto what would become his career path.
"When I turned 18, that's when I started cooking again, at Lonestar Steakhouse in Fairfax, Va.," said Dunbar, now executive chef and manager at 27 Fathoms, a fine-dining restaurant with an eclectic menu in The Pavilion at Port Orange.
Five years in that first professional cooking position led to more than six years with the Baystar Restaurant Group in Southwest Florida, most of it at the Salt Rock Grill in Indian Rocks Beach under Executive Chef Tom Pritchard. He's been with 27 Fathoms since it opened in April 2011, first as sous chef, then taking charge of the kitchen just over a year ago.
Dunbar recently spoke with The News-Journal about the on-the-job culinary education he received from the chefs for whom he's worked along the way, and shared a recipe he created for his wife on their wedding anniversary.
He also talked about his inspirations, from the 4-year-old son whose name and footprint are tattooed on his arm, to his grandparents, who are retired and still living in the St. Petersburg area. On a recent visit, they dined at their grandson's place of employment.
"My grandfather says I've become a very good chef ... which is awesome to hear," Dunbar said.
Where are you from originally, and how did your path lead to this area?
I grew up in Alexandria, Va. I moved to Florida to be closer to my grandparents and to pursue my cooking career (with the Baystar group). I was with them for 6 1/2 years until I moved over here with my wife and son — her parents live in New Smyrna Beach. That brought me a great opportunity with the owner (of 27 Fathoms).
Q: Who or what influenced you to become a chef?
My grandfather's love for food was the beginning influence. I have also developed a great passion for what I do and owe that to the great chefs I have worked under.
Q: What's your favorite thing about being a chef?
My favorite thing about being a chef is being able to create art on a plate. I enjoy pleasing people through the dishes I create.
Q: Briefly describe your education, training and experience.
I have not had any formal training at a culinary institute. I have learned everything I know from the great chefs I have trained under. I also have a passion for reading cookbooks of the greats and teaching myself. I enjoy trying and experimenting with new things. I feel I have a gift that has been passed down from my grandfather.
Q: How would you describe your style of cooking?
I would describe my style of cooking as modern comfort food.
Q: What is your signature dish?
My signature dish is Pan Seared Diver Scallops. I serve them over a smoked Gouda and spinach orzo and top it with a balsamic citrus mignonette and roasted macadamia nuts.
Q: What recipe are you going to share with our readers?
Louisiana Rock Shrimp is a great appetizer and will serve four. I just came up with that sitting at my house one night, for my wife. It was our anniversary.
Louisiana Rock Shrimp
From Executive Chef Joe Dunbar; serves 4 as an appetizer
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup diced Vidalia onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 pound of rock shrimp, peeled
1 teaspoon blackening seasoning
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
baby spinach leaves, for serving
Heat butter in saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and shrimp. Top with the blackening seasoning. Saute for approximately a minute and a half, mixing well. Add hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Add cilantro and continue to saute. Reduce sauce in the pan until shrimp are cooked fully.
Serve over a bed of baby spinach leaves.

Kristen Stewart to Attend TIFF for 'On the Road'
Well, not like today, but I can exclusively reveal that Stewart will jet to the Toronto Film Festival next month to support On The Road.
TIFF announced yesterday that the movie adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel would have a special presentation screening during the fest. The date will be announced on Aug. 21.
"Kristen will be there," a source says.
But will TIFF mark her first red carpet appearance since her cheating scandal erupted last month? We're not sure just yet because there's still no word if Stewart will be attending the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sept. 6.
Stewart has yet to face the press since those now infamous photos of her and director Rupert Sanders emerged in mid-July.
Robert Pattinson, however, has been on a publicity roll this week for his new indie Cosmopolis. He's appeared on the Daily Show With Jon Stewart and Good Morning America and attended the film's premiere on Monday in New York City.
He has carefully avoided talking about the scandal.

Heifer Central Philippines Projects Unharmed; Impact on South Being Reviewed
Heifer Philippines country staff report that project communities in the Central Philippines, which received high winds and heavy rains from Typhoon Bopha, suffered no damage, injuries or other adverse impact from the storm, so efforts are being directed at understanding the impact in the South in the Caraga regionAgusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte.
Assessments are expected to take several days as staff is being dissuaded from moving too quickly into affected areas as it may create expectations of immediate relief, a service Heifer is not positioned to provide.
In an emergency like this, the urgent need by affected communities is to get immediate help like food, clothing, water, etc., within the next 24-48 hours, said Hercules Paradiang, Heifer Philippines country director. These needs are being met for now by the government and emergency response agencies, so it is not yet the appropriate time to go visit individual families to ask questions related to rebuilding or rehabilitation at this point.
We will respect the request to delay, but will collect other information about livestock, agricultural impact, infrastructure, etc., from the province or municipality National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and provide it back to headquarters.
Paradiang has been able to determine that 439 homes were damaged in Heifer project communities, of which 422 were partially damaged and 17 destroyed.
Across the Southern Philippines, rescue teams continue to try to reach isolated communities Wednesday in the wake of Typhoon Bopha, which struck the southernmost island of Mindanao on Tuesday. The death toll is estimated at 270, with reports that 170,000 people were forced to flee their homes.
The storm, dubbed "Pablo" in the Philippines, made landfall early Tuesday (the Philippines is 14 hours ahead of Central Standard Time in the United States) with sustained winds greater than 160 mphthe equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean.
Rescue teams are reporting seas of mud, upended trees, toppled electrical poles and flattened buildings or lost roofs in their search and rescue efforts. Wide areas of the island are without electricity for the second day, including one of Heifers primary regions, the Caraga, and the government continues to use trucks and boats to bring supplies of food, blankets, medicines and cadaver bags to stricken areas.
The Philippines weather bureau said that Bopha, which means "blossom" in Khmer, is expected to exit Philippine territory by late Thursday.
Provincial officials in Mindanao are estimating the economic damage to infrastructure and agriculture could run into billions of pesos (tens of millions of dollars), with several bridges cut, roads washed out, power lines severed, and banana, coconut, vegetable and rubber plantations ruined.
Updates will be provided as events warrant.
