Same load of crap.
The guy is truly an idiot. He just don't get it. It's tough for someone with his intelligence and educational background to 'get it'.
Still screaming and kicking calling Lin a "marginal" PG in this league.
Lin's TER is currently ranked 34th overall.
Marginal? Steven A. Smith. You are truly a moron.
Lin's number since starting Feb 8th.
19.5 points
8.14 Assists
2.19 Steals
3.89 rebounds
4.857 Turnovers
Based on his "Marginal" player statement. I assume MORE THAN 50% of the players in the NBA average those numbers?
SAS hates the fact that Lintendo made more of an impact than Carmelo. He can't stand that it's Lin who makes Dolan big bucks not Carmelo. Dude doesn't understand that we're a team now and it doesn't really matter what are Carmelo's numbers as long as he defends, makes great passes and gives overall effort.
Anyone have a link where I can listen to it or where there might be a podcast?
I think this guy does make good points. He may be biased at times, makes a lot of noise, but he does understand bball i think.
I agree with some of you that Lin is a good point guard, but is not that good.
He is doing great so far, but he needs to improve in different areas before we get too exsited about future point guarg position of our team.
He does favor his friend Fields and looks for him first and everybody else second, i am sure Woody will fix that, overdribbles a lot, often misses wide open teammates and drives in the defensive wall or turns the ball over. He is slow and not as explosive to ever be a superstar IMHO. I hope i am wrong as we do need a good point guard and he seems to be a good person.
Screamin' A. Smith is a perfect example of what you call a closet hater.
Anyone who is not Black is his enemy. From my studies at university (yes, was forced to take psychology for an elective), something bad must have happened to him in the past or he was wronged by someone, so that now, he thinks everyone is against him. He kicks and yell, obviously, in order to prove he is always right.
Everybody knows he is a little man, an idiot, and a jerk. He give black people a bad name. Sometimes I wish another black person with authority (like Magic Johnson) would tell Screamin' A. Smith to STFU, idiot. You don't represent us.
Whatever people may think about him, he had some very good points. He never once said that Lin was garbage or didn't deserve to be in the NBA. In fact, he said Lin would be a very good point guard in the future.
His point was that the team, as previously structured, didn't make sense with Lin as the focal point when you still have two star guys that are still in their prime. Lin's shot attempts have dropped and his TOs are also down as a result of him not carrying such a heavy load. It's working, so hey.
Lin isn't as big a star as people are makinig him out to be. He still has a ways to go. He had some good moments but that doesn't make you a legit star PG. Nate Robinson had some great games for us but you earn a rep in this league during the playoffs. People get so emotionally hurt over Lin. He's good but he's not THAT guy yet. He'll improve each year and hopefully he will be among the top pgs in the league. We all know he still has issues with his dribble and his court awareness could improve a bit.
I agree that Melo and Amare have to be the guys to take this team to a title. We get there as a team but those pressure moments will be put on their shoulders as the conerstone guys. This is how it works in the league with every team loaded with a star or two... or three.
Real Talk
Jeremy Lin is good. Two years he'll be great. His work ethic is solid, and hopefully Baron will continue to mold him. He has a gift, we all saw it. Now it just has to become consistent - even against top tier teams (when he starts making the heat look bad, then he has become a premier PG).

This may have been discussed before, but if it was, my search didn't find it. If so, please point me to the thread.
I am 51 (*well* over the hill). I practice at the pistol range at least once per week, I try to be heads up, I have a carry permit & I carry pepper spray to boot. The situation I worry about is being suprised by a BG. How do I create enough distance to escape or draw a weapon?
I am not in great shape. I ski or hike on the weekends, I walk a couple of miles most days, but no workouts or weight lifting. I would like to find a more interesting workout.
Being a practical guy, it seems to me that I could combine some close-quarters training and get a workout at the same time. I did read a couple of threads here that basically said that if you are over 40, don't bother. I don't buy that. Some training and some conditioning have to be better than none at all. However, it needs to be less intense than some group of 20-somethings would want.
I could easily dedicate a couple of nights a week to this, if I could find the right place. Any suggestions? I think that practical techniques are better than structured sports.

You have already made the first (and most important) steps. Those are trying to be aware and trying to remain phisically fit. Our minds are the weapons but the body is the instrument (even if only to use a tool.)
With all do respect I would recomend a local martial arts class. Don't get hung up on the particular style, they all have their good and bad points. The things that all of them will give you are: some cardiovascular workout; a feeling of where your body is in relation to your agressors; a basic set of moves to defend yourself with; a better awareness of your suroundings; and a less than lethal option. Hope this helps, If not, at least you got your moneys worth (0 for $0!)
I've joined the 300.

I think Steve gave very good advice. You mentioned "...if I find the right place." That is key to your enjoyment of the activity that you will participate in. Training is much simpler if you like where you are going. At this point, I wouldn't worry so much about how practical or "reality based" the style is. Instead, the ambience of the location, instructor and students will be of higher importance.
Above all, persist and ENJOY. Being a beginner at a particular martial art can be a humbling experience because you might find the techniques look easy but for some reason your balance is off or the movements just don't "feel right."
Just as in a classroom, you will benefit the most from an open mind and a willingness to ask questions. Good luck! I'm interested in how your search goes!

"I did read a couple of threads here that basically said that if you are over 40, don't bother. I don't buy that."
and well you shouldn't. I don't have a whole lot to add to what's been said before, but I will say this: it's been a long time since I underestimated anyone's ability based on size, gender, demeanor, or, least of all, age.

Tai Chi or Yoga.
You need something that keeps the body limber, your blood pressure relaxed, and your muscle conditioned so that you can respond effectively. Both Tai Chi and Yoga are easy to get into, are non contact, and would be a huge benefit not only for your mental and physical response to CQB, but also improve your general well being immensely. There's usually a lot of hot chicks in these classes as well.
You also might check into your local range, ask if they teach defensive pistol courses, ask to speak with the instructor. If he/she knows there stuff they should be able to put you in contact with a hand to hand defense program that would work for someone who carries. Police departments, Security agencies all have instructors and programs that teach this sort of thing and I bet their are some programs available to civilians as well.

Drothen, you get out there and do what you feel driven to do, and ignore the Young And The Arrogant. Do your Tai Chi Chuan classes or whatever. I'd also suggest talking to pistolcraft/CQB instructors about tactics for those of diminished mobility. If you learn any good tips share them; I'm only 5 years behind you.

I agree with Steve's idea, and think that Akido is one of the better choices. It relys less on blocking and striking (less effort for us older folks) and more on evasion and using the opponents force against himself.

one of the baddest dudes i know on this planet just turned 51 years old this week.
i would not want to fight him if he was blind, gun less,and in a broken up shape.
he is not in the best of condition just average but he has the killer instinct and desire to f u c #### you up...
age is not a big deal as long as the desire is there.

The best marksman I've ever known was my late grandfather, who was at first turned down for military service because his trigger finger was handicapped (it could hardly wiggle). He ended up a Lt. Col. in the Air Force regardless, and was very much qualified in pistol marksmanship. Even in his 60's he outdid everybody in the turkey shoots, using his middle finger to squeeze the trigger. My dad would be not far behind with his second place ham. And some say old people's eyesight is bad!
There's the familiar phrase, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." That's a crock of poo. You're never too old to start working out unless you medically can't. (I've decided I'm going to buy my first motorcycle when I'm 70 and tote my great-grandkids around in the sidecar.)

Just and added thought...
You may want to look into several styles of martial arts to find something that is to your liking. I know your goal is to try to put some distance between you and an attacker, but it may not always be possible depending on the aggressiveness, speed, agility, and physical strength of the attacker. There are essentially two types of fighters out there - the ones who want to stand toe-to-toe trading punches/kicks, and those who want to grapple on the ground. My suggestion is find something that provides a foundation in both areas, as well as covers transitioning between the two.

Hey, Drothern, don't despair. Always remember that old saying, "I'm not as good as I once was, but ONCE, I'm better than I ever was."
That's the way I think... and I've got some years on you.
Best of luck. J.B.

Drothen, I'm 15 years ahead of you. I still manage fairly lengthy daze with my backhoe and dumbtruck and road-grader. Play therapy with the lifesize Tonka Toys beats being an Old Fart couch potato. Keeps my arthritic shoulders loose enough to speed-shoot on multiple targets.
Since I can pinch a nerve in my back doing such strenuous activities as leaning over to wash my hands or fold a shirt, I figure maybe one side kick to a knee is about all I've got--after that it's my friend Judge Colt.

I once read that When things get violent, the only way to win is with greater violence. I'm a firm believer that winning the fight is a mind game not an age thing. sounds like your already better prepared than most.

So I have been doing more searching on the forums. I've seen that many people really like the PTSK and other coated aluminum pans and that restaurants use tin coated steel, but not much more than that. So as far as buying a new pan goes, I seem to have three options. I could buy a new PTSK pan, a new tin plated steel pan, or a used restaurant steel pan on ebay. I haven't found much on the advantages or disadvantages of each.So is there a reason that restaurants use steel pans instead of coated aluminum? They don't have issues with seasoning since they make so many pizzas, but are steel pans more durable or does the PTSK coating wear off over time or is it just a matter of cost?As far a my needs go I always serve the pizza directly out of the pan. I generally eat one pizza by myself over three or four meals and cover the pan with aluminum foil and put the whole thing in the refrigerator. So I need a pan that is durable and can handle pizza being served inside it preferably with metal utensils and will last a long time. Any advice would be appreciated.
So people seem to be giving me a variety of recommendations which is unsurprising. If there was a single best type of pizza pan I wouldn't need to ask what it was. Does it actually matter what the pan is made of or will any sufficiently seasoned pan give approximately the same results after adjusting for differences in baking time and other factors?As a side note be careful when going to the seriouseats link grathan posted above. The first time I went there my antivirus software said the page was trying to install a virus. It seemed fine the second time though.
I use two 9" Chicago metallic pans from Ross 5 bucks eachThey are square and a 10" dough for round pie works perfect.They have 2" sides. Didn't have to season and never have stuk Thanks Marvin

From all corners, Sandoval a Gold Glove candidate
Giants third baseman rates highly in both traditional and sabermetric numbers
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- If Pablo Sandoval ever is to win a Gold Glove award, now's the time.
The Giants third baseman has built a solid case to be recognized as the National League's top defender at his position. Traditional statistics as well as modern metrics reflect Sandoval's excellence.
As the Giants approach a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies beginning Friday at AT&T Park, Sandoval leads Major League third basemen with a .980 fielding percentage, which has steadily risen during a 68-game errorless stretch. Former Pirate John Wehner and former Mariner Jeff Cirillo share the big league record of 99 consecutive errorless games at third base.
According to FanGraphs, Sandoval's 7.6 UZR (ultimate zone rating), a leading indicator of defensive prowess, is second among NL third basemen to Los Angeles' Juan Uribe's 9.0. But Uribe, a former Giant, has played only 78 games at third base compared to Sandoval's 113. On ESPN.com's list of defensive WAR (wins above replacement), Sandoval and Uribe are deadlocked at 1.3 in third place, with New York's David Wright (1.5) in second. The leader at 1.9, Colorado's Nolan Arenado would appear to be Sandoval's primary Gold Glove rival. Arenado also tops MLB.com's range factor list (3.23), while Sandoval ranks third (2.65). But injuries have limited Arenado to 84 games.
Pittsburgh's Pedro Alvarez checks in with a 3.07 range factor. But he falls short of Sandoval in games played (96) and fielding percentage (.925), not to mention his throwing woes, which have forced the Pirates to remove him as the everyday third baseman.
Then there's the eyeball test. Sandoval has made spectacular diving stops and impossibly quick, accurate throws all season against virtually every opponent. Surely he has left an impression among the coaches and managers who cast Gold Glove ballots.
"I've always seen him make good plays against us," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said last week. "He's really athletic and he's quick-footed. You may not think he is, but he is."
Moreover, Sandoval's defense seems to have met enough statistical standards so that the sabermetric component incorporated into the selection process will help rather than hinder his chances.
"I think Pablo gets the most out of his ability at third base. And that's saying a lot," said Giants bench coach Ron Wotus, who shepherds San Francisco's infielders. "There are guys who are quicker. There are guys who have more range. There are guys who have more athleticism and can get to more balls. But I don't think there's anybody in the league who gets more out of his ability at third base."
Sandoval's also batting a respectable .280.
"He hits well enough to win it," Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford said with a wry smile, referring to the widespread perception that most Gold Glove winners gain an assist in the voting if they're offensively productive.
Sandoval, 28, savors making a big defensive play as much as delivering a clutch hit.
"In one of those plays you can save the game," he said. "You might not do it with the bat, but you can do it with the glove."
Sandoval's defense formerly was suspect, at best. Giants manager Bruce Bochy benched him through much of the 2010 NL Championship Series and that year's World Series because Sandoval's subpar physical condition did not allow him to play reliable defense. Since then, Sandoval has improved so much on defense that Bochy removes him in the late innings only to rest him.
Sheer diligence has accounted for Sandoval's ascent. Jose Alguacil, San Francisco's coordinator of infield instruction who spends most of his time tutoring Minor Leaguers, has worked extensively with Sandoval during previous offseasons and in Spring Training. Alguacil has refined Sandoval's footwork, most notably by helping him develop an unerring first step, which is essential for defenders at any position. With Alguacil's assistance, Sandoval also has established a steady release point on his throws. Wotus makes sure that Sandoval continues to sharpen his fundamentals during the regular season.
The result has been unprecedented consistency from Sandoval on defense.
"Everything that's hit right at him, he's making the play. You can see that from his errorless streak," said Crawford, Sandoval's partner on the left side of the infield. "And then he's making a good throw every time. In the past he's kind of been a little erratic with his throws."
Reserve first baseman Travis Ishikawa, who recently rejoined the Giants after spending 2012-13 with other organizations, noticed a difference in Sandoval.
"He's making plays that I don't remember him making four years ago," Ishikawa said.
Wotus cited Sandoval's resolve.
"He's always worked extremely hard in the spring, but I think it's carried forward better this year," Wotus said. "He doesn't take many days off. He's always preparing himself defensively to play the game every day. He's always worked hard, but I think he has been a little more determined this year to have a good season."
Some might claim that Sandoval's impending free agency drives his effort. He has maintained that he's not focusing on that.
"I'm just trying to help my team make the playoffs. As far as personal goals, I just worry about making plays to save the game," he said.
No discussion of Sandoval would be complete without some reference to his fluctuating -- some would say expanding -- weight. But his nimbleness afield tends to silence such criticism.
"I think his range might be slightly better," Crawford said. "He's a pretty good athlete. I don't think people realize that."
Said Wotus, "He's better than you think at diving for the ball."
Sandoval initially entered the Gold Glove conversation in 2011, when he placed second to Philadelphia's Placido Polanco.
"Finishing second, that's a good job for me," Sandoval said, pointing out that he was primarily a catcher through 2008, the year he made his Major League debut.
Don't be fooled, Alguacil emphasized.
"Pablo is very competitive," Alguacil said. "When he wants something, he fights for it. He wants to be the best. He wants to win a Gold Glove for sure. He was disappointed when Polanco won it. He wants to accomplish a goal and I believe that he will do it."

text: About 8 months ago I thought I had the system gamed . Shawn and Lance from RawHyde Adventures were hosting an Adventure Night at the Ruddy Duck Restraunt/Brewery in Solomans Maryland. I had met the guys back in March of 2012 when they gave a RawHyde presentation at Bobs BMW and attended one of the Adventure Riding Clinics they presented. Interesting duo to say the least Anyhow it seemed like a fun night out and the Mrs. (Philygal) was up for the ride and wanted to go as well. I had also heard that in an effort to promote the event, they said they would be giving away a free class to RawHyde Adventures to whomever traveled the furthest to their gathering As luck would have it, my job had me on travel in Virginia Beach till day of the event. I figured this was great. I could ride up from Virginia Beach, pick up Philygal and continue on to Southern Maryland, at just over 200 miles, I figured I would be a shoe-in. Who would ride farther than that for a couple hours at a local micro brewery? I arrived at the event after a beautiful day riding to find out some nut case had ridden all the way from Chicago .WTF dammit Oh well, it had been a great day riding, we got dinner out away from the kids and met up with a few of our friends. The RawHyde group had a few door prizes to give out at the event, maybe I would get lucky and win a T-shirt or something It appears that my luck held out but it wasnt a T-shirt I won, it was their grand prize They were giving away a second RawHyde Class. Now, as much as I find RawHyde Adventures interesting It was not something I would have taken on my own. Between the cost of getting there, riding a bike cross country and back or renting one and the class itself going there didnt fit my budget. But winning a paid class .that put it in reach.

BERKELY- It was a gloomy and cold morning in Berkeley when the Cal football team began their double-day Saturday. On a morning where they San Francisco Bay was smothered in big and ugly clouds, it seemed only appropriate to look into Bears' big uglies.
Offensive Lineman Matt Summers-Gavin has not returned to the practice field since his injury early in camp. The sophomore is no longer walking with a limp and head coach Jeff Tedford says the coaches will take a closer look at him next week.
"He's progressing. Hopefully by midweek next week we'll see and evaluate him. We'll see when he comes back," said Tedford. "Matt can play both guard and tackle so we'll see at that point. A lot can happen between now and then so depending on our health and things, we'll figure that out then."
In his absence, the offensive line has worked hard throughout camp. The offensive line during first-team reps Saturday morning included Mitchell Schwartz at left tackle, Dominic Galas at left guard, Chris Guarnero at center, Brian Schwenke at right guard and Donovan Edwards playing right tackle.
"They're doing fine," said Tedford of the offensive line. "It's been the whole camp, (Summers-Gavin) got hurt on the second day, so they've been at those positions throughout camp and they're doing just fine."
Galas has played both center and covered for the injured Summers-Gavin at left guard. Both Tedford and Galas are unsure of what will happen when Matt returns to play.
"I've been running center and left guard," Galas said. "The coaches are going to put us in the best position to win so wherever they tell me is where I'll end up. Wherever the coaches think is the best position for the team is where I'll be."
Covaughn DeBoskie-Johnson spoke last week of the extra work that the backs and offensive line had done since last year. So far in camp, it looks as though that work has paid off.
"I think we're really coming together, gelling," explained Galas. "Everyone is talking, communicating, getting along real good on the line, making all the calls; I think the team as a whole is coming together real well. We're closing in on two weeks so we're excited, we're warm, we're ready and we're ready to get on with the season."
"In the spring and the summer we've all been alternating, getting ready to play any position, so there's been a lot of shifting around, a lot of movement, so you kind of prepare for that," said Schwartz after practice on Saturday morning. "Luckily we have a lot of smart guys, so the transition is pretty easy because they know their job and I know my job. We all get along pretty well so it's been a lot of fun to work with all the guys."
By playing both center and left guard, Galas says he has developed a much better understanding of the relationship each offensive lineman plays to the person on either side of them.
"The assignments are definitely different at center and left guard, but a lot of times they help out with each other," Galas said. "If you're at left guard and you know what the center is doing, you know where you should be. So they kind of complement each other real well, that experience is a good thing. It gives me a better understanding of where the help protection is, where the center is going to be versus the tackle and the left guard when I'm at center. It helps out a lot."
Schwartz has noticed the payoff of the offensive line's off-season work, particularly that of Galas.
"Him specifically, he has come a long way and just keeps getting better every day through understanding," said the 6-foot-5 junior. "There's a lot more to protection then just your job - it's kind of seeing how the other linemen fit, how the running back fits, tight ends - so it's more than just knowing your job.
"With all the extra time he's putting in and all the meetings and stuff, he specifically is getting better at doing that. For us as a unit it's the same type of thing, we keep getting better at understanding the protection as a whole. So we know how we all fit into the protection rather than just what our job is on that play."
Throughout the Tedford era at Cal, a combination of great protection and extraordinary talent at tailback have led to a great running game for the Bears. Both Schwartz and Galas had nothing but great things to say of the guys they will be paving the way for.
"We're excited to block for them, open up holes for them," said Galas of the Bears' tailbacks. "They're going to make us look good and we're going to make them look good. We're going to open up big holes and they're going to hit those holes hard. We're excited because we know we've got the best backs there are out in the backfield and I think we're excited to block for them."
"Ever since coach Tedford got here we've had so many great backs," said Schwartz. "It's always been not just the one back but the second and the third guy, and this year we have great depth. Just having a whole stable of guys and they all bring something different. It's just great knowing no matter what the play is, you have complete confidence in them not only to hit the hole, but if you miss a block or make a bad play they will still make you look good."
At left tackle, Schwartz will be protecting Riley's all-important blindside. He knows how critical his job will be each game and that it only takes one play to erase an entire day of great work.
"Pass blocking is obviously tough with Riley not being able to see," explained Schwartz. "You always got to be so perfect. If you have one bad play out of seventy five and the quarterback gets blown up and you have a terrible game and that guy on defense has one good play all day and all the sudden he's in the papers for blowing up the quarterback.
"He might have had sixty-four terrible plays and that one play kind of defines his day. So you always have to be perfect on each play. With pass protection it's a little bit more specific because it's a bigger picture thing and guys are able to see your faults if you screw up."
Defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast has brought some serious heat on the line thus far in camp. Schwartz sees the new, more complicated schemes as invaluable preparation for the season, and is confident that it will pay huge dividends once the first whistle blows.
"He's probably got some of the most complicated stuff out there, coming from the NFL and that background," said Schwartz. "So it's been great to go up against that kind of stuff in practice. It kind of prepares us for all the complicated stuff we're going to see in games.
"It's a little tough because he keeps throwing stuff at us and we have to adjust on the fly. You get into a game plan and plan for certain things; certain personnel and who you want to block and that type of thing. Right now we're just trying to apply our base rules to the defense and so it's been great from that perspective too because it really reinforces your rules and you have to know what your doing on each play and where to go and then you let the rest take care of itself."
Practice Notes
• 11-on-11s on Saturday morning all took place from the defense's four yard line. Playing in their own end zone, the defense held strong before allowing some scores.
• Kendrick Payne quickly got to quarterback Beau Sweeney for a sack. Payne has been great all camp. Sweeney scored on a keeper up the middle on the next play. He continues to show great ability on his feet.
• Cornerback Steve Williams made a pair of great plays. First he broke up a pass intended for Michael Calvin before locking down his man in the end zone, forcing Sweeney to throw the ball out of bounds. Tedford said yesterday the redshirt freshman Williams and sophomore Marc Anthony are both competing for a starting spot at corner.
• Ryan Wertenberger had some good reps to end practice. First he escaped the pocket and headed to what looked like a wide open field on the left side before Dash Oliver closed in an instant and forced him out of bounds for a short gain. He then threw two touchdowns, the first by way of an incredible catch from starting tight end Anthony Miller and then with an impressive connection to receiver Spencer Hagan

Rangers prepared to round out rotation in house
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers have made it through one turn of their spring rotation. Yu Darvish started for the Rangers on Tuesday and set down six straight hitters in his first Cactus League game.
He will be followed by Alexi Ogando, who will start at 2:05 p.m. CT on Wednesday against the White Sox, and Derek Holland, who pitches on Thursday against the Indians in his final outing before leaving for the World Baseball Classic. Randy Wells, one of several pitchers competing for the fifth-starter spot, is scheduled to start on Friday.
Nobody knows when Kyle Lohse is scheduled to pitch. Lohse remains a free agent, and there are no signs that the Rangers are trying to sign him. But he was a 16-game winner for the Cardinals in 2012 and club officials said they're keeping an eye on his situation as the spring progresses.
Right now, the Rangers are not inclined to act on anything, even though Lohse's asking price may be dropping and the club has the financial flexibility to make a major addition.
General manager Jon Daniels said Tuesday "nothing has changed" in the Rangers' position toward Lohse. They are not involved at this point and are not engaged in talks with his agent, Scott Boras.
One reason for the Rangers' reluctance is they would forfeit their first-round pick in the 2013 First-Year Draft if they signed Lohse. The Rangers aren't inclined to do that, especially since they are getting good news from Colby Lewis in his recovery from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery. The Rangers believe there is a good chance he could return to the rotation sometime in May.
Darvish's outing was the most impressive performance by a Rangers starter this spring. Relying on a fastball that was clocked at 96 mph, Darvish struck out two of the six batters faced. He threw 28 pitches, 16 for strikes.
"Compared to last year, my comfort level is very high," Darvish said. "Physically, I feel a lot better. It isn't complete yet, but overall I feel pretty good."
The outing reinforced the prevailing theory in camp that says Darvish is more comfortable in his second Major League camp, and that could play a big part in improving upon what was a solid rookie season.
"He's just been a part of things," manager Ron Washington said. "It's been a very relaxing spring for him. He doesn't stand out as much as last year, and that's a good thing. He blends in with his teammates more, and that should help. What I see more of this spring than last year at this time is he's commanding the ball better. That's because he doesn't have to impress people as much."
The Rangers are expecting a smooth spring from Darvish, Matt Harrison and Holland. They are also expecting Ogando to move back into the rotation, although he struggled in his first Cactus League appearance, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in 1 1/3 innings against the Royals on Friday.
The Rangers are eager to see Ogando sharpen his breaking pitch and develop the necessary changeup that would allow him to more effective as a starter. But Rangers officials stress they are committed to Ogando being moved to the rotation even if early spring returns continue to be shaky.
The most impressive fifth-starter candidates through the first turn were Martin Perez and Robbie Ross. Both threw two scoreless innings, and Washington said he is seeing Ross pitch the way he did in the first half of last season when he was a rookie reliever. Ross had a 0.95 ERA before the All-Star break and a 5.60 ERA afterward.
"His aggressiveness is back, which he lost in the second half," Washington said. "His command of his [cut fastball] is back, which he lost in the second half. He's using his changeup more and he's starting to use his slider. He has to rely on more pitches because he's trying to be a starter. He wants to be a starter and he's doing everything he can to win that spot."
Kyle McClellan's fifth-starter bid is on hold while he's dealing with muscle soreness in the back of his right shoulder, and Justin Grimm is off to a rough start. But the Rangers have been pleased with Wells. The former Cubs starter is described as a "pitch-maker" who knows how to keep the ball down and change speeds.
The Rangers are only forming early impressions of what they have for a rotation. There is still a month left in Spring Training and 33 games left to play before final evaluations are made.
But at this point, the Rangers believe they have enough in camp to put together a rotation that could be a strength for them this season no matter which way they go on the fifth starter.
The Rangers just have to keep in mind Lewis may be back in May but not as effective as he once was, that the young kids ultimately may show they need more time in the Minors, that Ross is needed more in the bullpen and that Ogando may not make a seamless transition back to the rotation.
These are things to consider over the next month and are why the Rangers ponder whether Lohse would be worth both the financial investment and the loss of a potentially valuable draft pick. The Rangers also know their first-round draft picks from the past 10 years included pitchers Thomas Diamond, Eric Hurley, Kasey Kiker, Michael Main and Matt Purke. None are currently in the organization.
The Rangers have survived lost draft picks before. As long as Lohse remains unsigned, any club with a rotation that's not completely set still has to at least monitor the situation.

Exciting matchup worth the wait
Opener between Red Sox, Rays postponed to Tuesday
By /
When we last viewed the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays, they were playing for nothing less than the 2008 American League championship. And they were terrific stories; the Red Sox the only team to have won two World Series in this century, the Rays emerging from a decade of defeat to stun the baseball world by winning 97 games and the AL East. They kept on stunning people by winning this AL Championship Series.
And here they were again at Fenway Park on Monday to open the 2009 season. There was reason to believe that both teams would be at least as good as last season. With the emergence of the Rays, and with the Yankees responding to a third-place finish and no October at all by spending $423.5 million on three free agents, there was also reason to believe that the AL East would be the most difficult division in baseball.
The rivalry between Boston and New York needs no introduction. But Tampa Bay has added a terrific twist to the plot. It was David against at least one Goliath. The competition would be somewhere between better than ever and absolutely great. So let's get started with the Red Sox and the Rays as soon as possible. Opening Day at Fenway is one of baseball's splendid events in any circumstance. With the quality of the competition, this one could have even more meaning.
We have waited all winter for something very much like this. Come on, play ball. Oops.
All of the glorious anticipation for this event is going to have to remain in place for one more day. With forecasts calling for rain in something like Biblical proportions, the Red Sox did the prudent thing, postponing this game roughly four hours before it was to start. Opening Day at Fenway will now be Tuesday, beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET -- weather, of course, permitting.
With the heavy rain not expected to arrive until afternoon, the Red Sox put their late Monday morning to good use by taking batting practice. This looked a lot like a typical pregame ritual, except that this BP was going to be pre-going home.
"You hate to work for two months and then sit around for three days," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
The early postponement spared the Boston fans getting soaked for no apparent purpose and also worked out for Red Sox starter Josh Beckett, who was spared an afternoon of uncertainty.
"It's much better this way," Francona said. "There's no sitting around, put your uni on, get up, get down, getting updates."
There was a letdown that Opening Day would be delayed, but it wasn't a crushing letdown, even though the day had begun in sunshine, largely because the rain was absolutely no surprise.
"I think we all kind of knew in the back of our heads that this was a possibility," Francona said. "It's hard when you wake up with sunshine and think you're going to play."

This interweb thingy can be very cruel. I was contacted some years back, by a girl and we struck up an interwebby relationship. After some months, it seemed like a very strong and real relationship. I sent her some money for a plane ticket to come meet me, since she claimed she could make my penis larger. Well, she never made it to the airport near me & I never heard from her again. Lastly, my little guy is still little. I contacted the FBI and they said she was from Nigeria. Some items to discuss: 1. Is Manti a Tebow Virgin? 2. Should he date a ND priest now? 3. Are Mormon's more susceptible to these kind of hoaxes? 4. Is his online GF like playing in a BCS game, they disappear? 5. When U now get scammed online, will it now be known as being Te'o-ed? Finally, Poor Umpah Winfrey - Lance's story is now dead.

what is meant exactly by the term wrapping code?
-that is in the context of intergrating code from another language?
let me explain my problem:
i am building a system in C++ in a modular fashion (as should be).
To this end i need to integrate the (entire) functionality of a small but related set of programs written in C. Each console executable uses the same header files & these contain a lot of globals which i want to keep away from the rest of my system. Each program in effect takes command line parameters, a couple of files, and outputs numerical results to std out.
Ideally, i would like to wrap these programs into a class, and rename each main() in each program as a separate function. This would save me writing code to make a system call to run each executable...
...but the header files:
what options do i have? is the above possible? what are the most common approaches to this problem? i'm a complete newbie with this stuff, so any pointers of comments of any kind would be well received.
I'm on a tight deadline too, so what's the quicj=kest thing i can do here?

UFO Spaceship Orbiting the Sun, or a Camera Glitch?.
UFO hunters have spotted a curious object near the sun in a new NASA image. It is, in the words of a blogger for the website Gather, "what looks like a metallic, jointed spaceship with a gigantic extension, perhaps a boom arm, anchored off its lower end."
According to Nathan Rich, lead ground systems engineer in the NRL's solar physics branch, the "spaceship" is merely a collection of streaks left by cosmic rays, charged particles from space, which whizzed through the camera's sensor, or CCD, as the image was taken.
Tip: @LLMysteries on Twitter
DN does NOT recommend Gather as a reliable source of news. It's typically more like mystery mongering in order to get hits. And, they got creative with this still picture. But, people do go there and may believe these extreme interpretations have merit.Mr. Rich's explanation sounds much more plausible than the UFO/alien spaceship theory.
Here's a video showing the sun orbiting object:
Here's a previous story about another UFO gulping up solar power! This is getting to be a trend… UFO buffs finding something mysterious and alien when it really is more like rather interesting.

This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with

The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith

See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our

Vote for Angels in the All-Star outfield
Guerrero poised to win starting berth in Detroit
By Mike Scarr / MLB.com
Angels fans have six more home dates to go to the ballpark and hand-punch an All-Star ballot. Voting at Angel Stadium ends on Sunday when the Angels conclude their Interleague series with the Dodgers. Big crowds and a motivated electorate will be needed if the Angels are to be represented by more than one starter in Detroit on July 12 for the 76th All-Star Game. Vladimir Guerrero remains in third position in the outfield for the American League. Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez and Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki would be the other two starters if the voting ended today. Guerrero has been making his case since being activated from the disabled list on June 9. Guerrero is hitting .429 with three homers and eight RBIs in the nine-game span. Garret Anderson still struggles to get recognition. Despite batting better than .300 and being third among AL outfielders with 48 RBIs, Anderson is 12th in voting for the All-Star Game. The Angels third starting outfielder, Steve Finley, is currently 13th in voting for AL outfielders. Yankee Tino Martinez is first in voting for AL first baseman, but Darin Erstad is second in batting at .294 among league first basemen with at least 250 at-bats and fourth at the position with 15 doubles. Erstad is also the only regular AL first baseman without an error. Mark Teixeira is second in voting at first behind Martinez with Kevin Millar of the Red Sox, Paul Konerko of the White Sox and Richie Sexson of the Mariners in the top five. Fans do not get to vote for pitchers but staff ace Bartolo Colon remains in a good position for consideration. Colon is tied for fourth in wins in the AL with an 8-4 mark and is fifth among starters with a 2.90 ERA. The right-hander's 96 1/3 innings are sixth among AL starters. Other Angels on the ballot are designated hitter Jeff DaVanon, second baseman Adam Kennedy, shortstop Orlando Cabrera and catcher Bengie Molina. Chone Figgins is listed as a third baseman. Fans can cast their votes for starters up to 25 times with the Ameriquest 2005 All-Star Online Ballot at MLB.com and all 30 club sites. Online balloting ends at 8:59 p.m. PT on June 30.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Investigators are trying to determine whether a Lee County Sheriff's deputy had engaged his siren before crashing into an Ohio couple's vehicle.
The Fort Myers News-Press reports the sheriff's office also hasn't said how fast Deputy Roberto Torres was traveling when he hit the vehicle on Sunday while responding to a 911 call. The details will be included in the Florida Highway Patrol's report.
John Steffens, 84, died at the scene and his 84-year-old wife Marilyn Steffens died enroute to the hospital. They lived in Pandora, Ohio, and vacationed in Fort Myers.
Torres was released from the hospital on Monday. The sheriff's office says he remains on patrol. A sheriff's committee will review the crash to see if disciplinary actions are needed once the FHP investigation wraps up.

Music Interview
Taste the REIGHNBEAU!
Hample's work manipulates sound and emotion
Show Up!
Where Have You Been?
Best of Burque, killer concerts demand your presence
REIGHNBEAU Rocks!
Good news, everyone!
Local electro-wizards REIGHNBEAU (Bryce Hample plus collaborators Hannah Daney, Colleen Johnson, Madeline Johnston and James Sturgis) have been recognized by music magazine Stereogum.
Their new album, Blood, is currently streaming—along with a brief yet well-deserved laudatory review—at a site known for its focus on lo más chingón in current musical forms.
Check out the solid and synthetic sound of twenty-first century Burque here.
Show Up!
Meeting of the Minds
Four perspective-changing concerts
Show Up!
The Soul of the Party
Five bomb gigs serve as sonic balm
Now Hear This, Vol. VI
You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension of A/V. This is the middle ground between mediocre and too-good-to-be-true, between something called "reggae" and the sound angels emit. You are traveling deep into the realm of rad tuneage. Next stop, Now Hear This!
Zachary James Watkins and Marshall Tramell aka Black Spirituals bring "black resonance" to Spirit Abuse (1103 Fourth Street NW) tonight. Our interview "Postmodern Black Spirituals" yielded more insight than we could fit in print. For instance, the project's name originates from Watkins finding a dusty cassette in a closet; the recording within was a 1970s lecture by activist, scholar and singer Bernice Johnson Reagon on the roots music of black slaves in America. Black Spirituals tour in support of their forthcoming SIGE Records cassette Of Deconstruction. Five bucks gets you in to the most intriguing concert of the week. The sympathetic vibrations amp up at 9pm, and Bigawatt and Mesa Ritual open the show. I'll see you there.
If you feelin' more metal than avant-garde, scope Alibi resident hesher Constance Moss' previews of two heavy gigs. Tonight at Sister (407 Central NW) revel in crossover metal, hardcore, "low desert punk" and sludge metal with Corrosion of Conformity, BL'AST!, Brant Bjork and Lord Dying. Scope "Melt Your Face Off" for all the deets.This 21-plus gig starts at 8:30pm, and admission is $15.
On Sunday night at Sunshine Theater (120 Central SW), Geoff Tate's Queensrÿche—featuring former members of Dio, Ozzy and AC/DC—brings a mishmash of nostalgia and brand-new heavy. Read Moss' Show Up! column to learn more about the drama surrounding Tate's physical and verbal abuse of his bandmates and consequent firing, the ensuing legal battle and future of Queensrÿche. According to our in-house metal expert, this show will not be a "pathetic and flaccid mockery of itself." Irish rock outfit The Voodoos open this all-ages concert, and presale tickets are $25.
Last week in "Now Hear This, Vol. V" I hyped much-buzzed about hometown swervegaze idol REIGHNBEAU's inclusion in tonight's Nothng Forevr showcase at Burt's Tiki Lounge (313 Gold SW). Burqueño electro standouts BK Beats, The 1960 Sci-Fi Era and Nathan New round out the bill for this 21-plus vowel-eschewing celebration. The aforementioned artists begin casting sonic spells at 9pm, and there's no cover, man.

When it comes to local wizard-themed bands, too much is never enough. Swervegaze wizard REIGHNBEAU has been casting beatific spells—and stealing my vantablack heart—since prime mover Bryce Hample began transmitting incantations into the æther. During the Alibi's latest totally-not-weekly podcast, guests Marya Errin Jones (ABQ Zine Fest founder, The Tannex co-founder) and Mike Smith (author, zinester and Alibi contributing writer) had high praise for REIGHNBEAU's "Milk of Amnesia" video premiere at Guild Cinema. If you missed that rad event, fear not. Screen the viddy below. Commune with REIGHNBEAU, BK Beats, The 1960 Sci-Fi Era and Nathan New in the so-called flesh at a Nothng Forevr showcase at Burt's Tiki Lounge (313 Gold SW) on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 9pm. It's a 21-plus recital, and there's no cover.
During the same podcast, Mike Smith hipped us to the debut music video for up-and-coming alchemical heavies Melanthius. It's a family band featuring siblings Mauro Woody, Brahm Woody and Dhaveed Woody and kindred spirit Eric Wellman. "The Door" video captures the mage collective with shimmery, psychedelic cinematography as they walk the earth, work a fluorescent cauldron and seek nuevomexicano treasure. Scope the vid below, and catch Melanthius' debut gig on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at Burt's (313 Gold SW) starting at 9pm. The 21-plus show is free and also features Shoulder Voices and Billy Crooze and the Dinglehoppers.
Steve Hammond's various projects have garnered a lot of ink in the Alibi over the years. His most well-known bands are twang-and-thrash trio Leeches of Lore and umlautcore outfit Tenderizor, but Hammond is a prolific solo artist and has also performed as Retard Slave and in Death Convention Singers, Knife City, Filthy Jim and Black Ale Sinners. His microlabel, Flying Midget Records, hosts releases from these projects. One of my favorite Flying Midget offerings is Hammond's Cover of the Month Series. Available as a name-your-price download, the compilation features covers of tunes by Miles Davis, Billy Idol, Buck Owens vs. The Fresh Prince, Wire, Melvins, Irving Berlin, Hank Williams, Funkadelic, Neil Young, The Kinks, They Might Be Giants and Beach Boys. Stream or download it below.
Explore the bountiful local music scene further with our Back to School Guide's "Intro to Venues—ABQ 505," "'90s Nostalgia Meets New Wave of Now," Music to Your Ears and micro reviews of new albums by David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights, Naomi Punk and Samantha Glass. Happy listening, y'all!

On the local tip, swervegaze wizard REIGHNBEAU is premiering the boss music video for "Milk of Amnesia" at the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) on Wednesday, Aug. 6. One of the perks of the fourth estate is sneak peeks, and I can assure you that my REIGHNBEAU crush remains strong. The screening will be followed by a live performance and light show. The house lights dim at 10:20pm only to rebound with matchless radiance. For more deets and to RSVP for this free cinematic event, click here. Below, listen to or download REIGHNBEAU's "bootleg" of Angelo Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks" theme.
Chapter House is an enigmatic micro label whose catalog is hyperlinked to genres like "punk," "moccvsin gvze" and "stewgaze." The label's latest compilation features Four Corners-based and nuevomexicano artists. Ryan Dennison and DISCOTAYS are all-time favorites of mine, but I was unfamiliar with other acts showcased on the release. And while I didn't unearth the secret lives of those new-to-me bands, I did discover groups with names like Purple Cats in Slacks, Midnight Stew and The Fly that are ripe for inclusion in New Mexico's sonic cosmology. Stream Volume 3 below and nab some pay-what-you-will releases from the Chapter House Bandcamp.
This entry's final homespun miracle is the NSFW [coughfreethenipplecough] music video for the opening tracks from sleaze-thrash trio [H]ohm's Haroun Farm EP. The narrative begins with telegenic power-drummer Kris Kerby hitchiking, and it focuses on the band and alt.models from The Voodoo Dolls, including co-owner Jelly Honey. Produced by Solano Pictures, the photography and editing are professional-

I'm so sad that it's all finished! I've read the sequel and think it is fantastic, but this alternate ending is also amazing! Good job :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Even though it wasn't my first vision for the story, I tried to make the alternate ending as satisfying as possible. I'm glad it worked!
This was absolutely beautiful! I am hesitant to even want to read the sequel now because the last thing I want is to relive Harry and Ginny dying and Hermione being jailed up. I loved this story though and I wish it did end happily! I am going to read the sequel, even though I hope it ends well.
Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm glad you liked the "lighter" ending to "Aversion." I tried to keep it as true to the tone of the story as I could. The sequel is definitely darker than this, and darker than much of "Aversion", too, but I hope you enjoy it, anyway!
Loved it! I love the sequel as well, but i didn't want Draco to break her heart like that, so i had to read this! Again, loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it a second time, too!
This ending is nice too, though I think for some reason the other one is more believable. Will read The Resilient now.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think the "real" ending is more believable, too, and the reason I wrote this one was so that people who can't really handle the darkness had a way to find closure. :)
This ending was awesome. I'm still going to read the sequel that goes along with the normal ending... But i was curious :)
Author's Response: Aw, great! Thanks so much for reading!!
As much as I loved The Resiliant, I loved this too. PLEASE keep writing!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Because I am a sappy romantic, I must say, I loved this ending MUCH better! :) lol
Author's Response: :D Thanks!! This one was nice to write.
Though this ending is sweet, the real story is so much better! It evoked lot of emotions and angered me and made me cry. I was not able to read some parts of "The Resilient", but still I couldn't leave the story unfinished. I loved your Draco and Hermione. They evolve so much with the time, their mature love, passion, hate mature. You are a wonderful writer. You have given the characters a new angle of life.
Thanks for a breathtaking story. And always keep writing.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!! I wrote this ending specifically for those who couldn't finish "The Resilient" for one reason or another, and I'm glad that you found some closure with it!
Your story is amazing!!! So many emotions going through me right now!!! I'm a sucker for the happy ending, so I loved the alternate ending, but I'm definitely reading the sequel! THANK YOU! :)
Author's Response: :D Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you like the sequel, too!!
I love the alternate ending! Can't wait to get started on the sequel though :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you enjoy it!
So I re-read the alternate ending after finishing the real Aversion to Change. As sweet as this is, I think that I do prefer the actual ending. It was so much more painful, but it gave Hermione and Draco a happiness they deserved, in my opinion. Brilliant writing. :)
Author's Response: Ah, I'm glad! I like the "real" ending more, too, but I felt it would be nice to offer this alternate for the people who didn't want to handle all that angst and torture I put them through. Thanks for (re)reading!!
I definitely liked this ending better than the other one (for obvious reasons, if you ask me), but I have no doubt in my mind that I'll be reading the sequel. As irritating as it was to have to keep my dictionary handy at all times (just kidding... sort of), I definitely enjoyed your story, including both endings.
Author's Response: Haha, sorry about the dictionary! That's a pet peeve of mine, too! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!!
i may be a sucker for happy endings but truly, this one was better. :) great story though. i liked aversion to change too.
Author's Response: Thank you!!
i like the alternate-ending much better!!! awesome job with the story!! keep it up!
Author's Response: Thank you!!
Awwww, in love this ending too! Bravo!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Sweet god, woman.
I finished reading An Aversion to Change, and I almost had to weep. In fact, I won't cover for myself. I did. I wept. Like a baby that had been cut with a razorblade, multiple times. And then, for the first three quarters of this alternate ending, I cried some more.
If you hadn't given me some closure, I might possibly have murdered you; despite these homicidal feelings, I truly admire how you still implicated Draco in the crime, and over all, it gave the story a lovely finish. Good work, and I hope you have many more good scratchings of the quill this year ;).
Author's Response: Thank you very much!! I don't think there's any greater compliment to an author than when a reader cries, unfortunately, so that really means a lot to me. :)
i love it :')
Author's Response: Thanks!
You truly are an amazing writer...I read An Aversion to Change and what you posted of The Resilient yesterday in one sitting. I didn't go to bed until 4:15am. haha but you're an incredible writer! I like this ending, but I love the original ending so much more. They both invoke a lot of feeling, but I'm a sucker for the darker romances and insanely difficult struggles. I think it makes for a better story. Thank you so much for writing these stories, you saved me from hours of boredom (:
Author's Response: Wow, this is not a short series! Kudos for making it through! I'm glad that you liked "Aversion" and what I've posted of "The Resilient." Thanks for reading!
Okay, I don't hate you anymore. Why didn't you use this ending? It would have spared me a lot of rage and tears.
Author's Response: Ah, because this wouldn't have allowed for such a fun sequel! :)
I dont know if I could forgive Draco`s actions... but this pice is really nice. :)
Author's Response: Thank you!

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by Timby, Oct 2, 2012.
^ Much better....now.
We're hoping to relocate to Pittsburgh this year, which means I'll be doing Shore Leave which is in Baltimore each year. We might actually meet at some point.
Baltimore though. You poor bastard!
Well we will be relocating soon as well, my wife tendered her resignation this morning. We will be moving upstate, to the Syracuse area. She has to give six months notices, so her last day will be March 29th 2013. So we have sometime to look for a house to purchase up there. We already made one trip up looking at houses and I'm planning to go up at the end of the month to look at some more. Really looking forward to moving up there.
We are looking forward to visiting Baltimore just to go see the Orioles. Actually, having read some of the above posts, we are anxious to try the food too.
Pittsburgh is also high on my list. Pirates are my NL team and am hoping for an inter-league Jays/Pirates matchup.
The last time we visited Syracuse there was a lot of housing on the market. Good luck to you both in finding something nice.
I'm actually looking forward to it. The job is pretty much a dream opportunity, and I would have been an idiot to turn it down. As for the city itself, my impression was that it's very similar to Milwaukee in terms of its layout and such. I enjoyed my time there, however brief it was, back in 2010, so I'm looking forward to this.
Getting used to Eastern time is going to be a bitch, though.
Good luck with the move and the new job, Timby. Baltimore's a nice area. I've visited it time to time, especially when I was still in the DC area. I'm not familiar with the immediate Baltimore area beyond names of some suburbs. I had a friend who lived in Owings Mills to the northwest, but it would be quite a drive to work.
Baltimore's mass transit system isn't huge, but it is helpful. Probably the light rail is more useful than the subway. I always like it when a city's major airport has a transit stop, and BAL does.
Plus, if you plan on going to DC a lot, or indeed at all, Baltimore and DC's transit system farecards (Baltimore's CharmCard and DC's SmarTrip) can be used in each other's systems.
The last time a city smelled bad to me was your beloved New York in August. The whole place smelled like hot garbage. Although after a day or so I got used to it.
I'll take NY in the spring, fall, or winter, but never again in the summer.
Oh, and Baltimore was great for the brief time I was there. We took a tour of Camden Yards (unfortunately the O's were out of town), and visited Babe Ruth's birthplace and museum just a few blocks away. Very cool!
Oh, I didn't know that. That's good to know.
I live to the northwest of the city, and you're absolutely right that it would not be a great drive to Canton from there.
Owings Mills is the start of the city's subway line...it's one line at the moment. It only goes from Owings Mills to downtown and ends at Johns Hopkins. The Charles Street exit is very convenient for visiting the Inner Harbor, but the subway wouldn't be much help getting to Canton. I don't think the light rail runs near there either.
You're right. If they build the controversial east-west line (I think they're calling it the Red Line?), it will, but that won't happen for years, if ever.
I remember a metro station and a rail passing the convention center at inner harbor
^ There's transit access down by the harbor. When I visited Camden Yards I stayed at a Marriott that was a block away, and there's a light rail stop directly adjacent to the ballpark. It's only a short walk from there to the harbor.
Light rail is great for getting to the ballparks. It's no help for Canton, though.
I love Inner Harbor, we have real good friends who live there. We'll be down there visiting in November.
