Huber named MVP of Futures Game
Australia native plays in contest for third year
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
DETROIT -- In a prelim to Monday's World Baseball Classic rollout, Australia native Justin Huber was named Most Valuable Player of Sunday's XM Satellite Futures Game at Comerica Park. The 23-year-old Kansas City Royals prospect and former member of the Australian Olympic baseball team lamented the dropping of hardball from at least the 2012 Summer Games, but said he hopes next year's new tournament will fill the void. Huber, whose pinch-hit, fifth-inning double knocked in two runs as the World Team defeated the U.S. Team, 4-0, added that he expects to play for his native country next March 3-20 in the 16-nation Major League Baseball-sponsored tourney that will include Major Leaguers for the first time in international play. Late last week, the International Olympic Committee voted to boot baseball and softball out of at least the 2012 Olympics. "It's a big bummer that they're not going to have baseball in the 2012 Olympics," said Huber, who was traded to Kansas City last summer in the three-team deal that sent Kris Benson to the New York Mets. "That's going to be a big downer for baseball worldwide just because of the fact that a lot of baseball federations bank on government funding to help those teams get off the ground. The little nations are going to struggle because of it. "Hopefully, this World Baseball Classic will really kick in and become a big thing for baseball. It's what baseball has to cling to now if it wants to remain a world sport, move forward and not backwards." Huber, ironically, said the same thing about his own career. After three Futures Game appearances, the catcher-turned-first baseman is hoping that his Major League future is now. He doesn't want to go backwards. Huber blew out his left knee last year and missed Australia's run to a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. The Mets then traded him to Kansas City and the Royals moved him to first base. He's been working with Hall of Famer George Brett to learn the moves around his new position and said, "I don't want to be a nuffy over there. I don't want to be a blimp over there." "Nuffy," he said, is an Australian colloquialism for looking like "a dip." "I want to actually be doing a good job and be reliable over there," Huber said. "That's my goal right now. I'm really happy that the Royals are giving me the opportunity to do that. I can't really ask for a better situation for myself." The Royals thought enough of him to bring Huber up for two weeks earlier this month when Mike Sweeney was placed on the disabled list. He went 3-for-12 with three RBIs in five games. Then it was back to Double-A Wichita, which, of course, is ultimately not where he wants to be. "It's a double-edged sword," he said. "It's an honor to come here and win an award like this. But I think about 70 percent of the guys who played with me in my first Futures Game (2002) have been up in the Major Leagues already. It's not something I hope to do again next year."

Wonder why they kept Edward in suits in NM instead of jeans or something. Made him look even older than necessary. He already looks 26+ compared to Taylor.ReplyDelete
@StephandEdward: Where did you see that?ReplyDelete
@Anon (8.21): I think that's for Bella's visions, i.e. how she thinks of him rather than the reality :)
Maybe he is in jeans and t's more in the beginning of movie, but I guess he wore the suit for her birthday party. (doesn't match the book of course) and then it looks like he basically keeps the same outfit on until he leaves. ??ReplyDelete

Seacrest isn't on the Daily 10. He does the E News broadcast. Maybe they'll show them tomorrow.ReplyDelete

Rob Tweets and the world smiles
It ain't much but it's Rob - I think if he actually joined Twitter, there'd have to be a special Twilight version of the "fail whale" ... suggestions please :)

Omg he was thinking about *us*ReplyDelete
Okay, admittedly the 'my dad made me do it' bit was cute... but come on..that's it?! Throw us a bone, here!ReplyDelete
I could become his "personal assistant" and tweet for him...haha.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2009 at 9:51 PM
wtf?! that was like nothing!ReplyDelete
i know he doesn't like twitter and all this stuff but come on...
"thanks a million"...what is that supposed to mean? "thank you for stalking and being ridiculously obsessed with me -although you don't know me- and basically ruining my life!"
what a hypocrite..
i mean i also adore him but that makes me sick..
I can't believe a Tweet from Rob made my heart race a mile a minute. Just the idea of him actually tweeting is so freakin adorable!! Gah!! =}ReplyDelete
@Anon - the "thanks a million" was from Peter...remember -- he'll have Rob tweet if he gets to one million followers. "Thanks a million" is Peter being cute, IMHO. He's not exactly there, but close. I think Rob's tweet fits him perfectly.ReplyDelete

oohhhh sorry you're right, i just completely forgot...
wow so my comment seems effing ridiculous and embarrassing now... haha takin it all back...
now it seems waaay sweeter than before.
but still...i want more :D
this whole rob-diet is driving me insane..
That is just too cute!!!! LMAO way to go Rob!!!!!ReplyDelete

That sucked. It's official. Rob doesn't give a crud about his fans.ReplyDelete
Well if you think of it his life is paparazi hell because of us the "fans". Sorry Rob:(ReplyDelete
I'm with you, Cheryl! When I got home and saw the alert that Peter had gotten Rob to tweet, my heart started racing, my hands were shaking, and I couldn't open the link up fast enough. Clearly, we are going through withdrawal to react this way to a simple message!ReplyDelete
I don't know about you, but the lack of face time at the VMAs really has me nervous. Rob was so accessible during the Twilight media blitz. We may be in for some disappointment during the New Moon media blitz.
At any rate, I thought the tweet was adorkable, just like Rob. It was awesome of Peter to follow through on his promise. Peter has really emerged as an engaging personality and will have fans, including me, long after the Twilight Saga has wrapped.
Well I'm not smiling:(( Was that suppossed to be funny?- it wasn't! Why bother at all, I'd rather continue to imagine how Rob is as a person- if he's interesting or not. This just shows me he's not!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Seriously?!?!? If Rob doesn't want to "tweet" that doesn't mean he is uncaring or unthankful. Why do we feel we need to invade every aspect of their lives? If he puts it out there great for him, if he doesn't want to share, then fans need to stay out. If it is not inregards to the movie and he doesn't talk about it then it is none of our business. The same would go with any star!!ReplyDelete
Sorry for my rant, I think sometimes people take things too far! I do love Twilight and I love reading about the Twilight updates. I do not have a twitter, but was excited to see that Rob wrote on Peter's. To expect more is just silly. If he wanted to say more he would have his own!
There I go again ranting and raving.....

wow you people are crazy. hes busy and hates all of this stuff so that was very nice of him to do so for us. he doesnt tweet or anything. and by the way on twitter you can barely fit 2 sentences in a tweet so what do you want a paragraph from him? he cant do that.ReplyDelete
Thank you Rob!
I understand!

Seriously people I´ll give to you the tweett was not the smartest, but there are so many BS that people tweett and no one critic them but if it is Rob, then we all jump and complain and whine... What were you expecting he would say? if you ever watched his interviews you would know he is not the kind to be fake and kiss fans asses or producers asses or whatever, and he owe us nothing, so why the complain?ReplyDelete
And for those of you complaining also because him or Taylor or Kristen are MIA, remember they work 10 to 12 hours or more 6 days a week in the film; and to give interviews and do promotion takes time and free schedule; as soon as they are done filming Eclipse they will be fully back on promoting with all the time for it.. for now there is a shot tweett, not the brightest but a sweet one, I love how he shows his bond with PF and calls him as his character in fiction, his "dad"
Ps, as to why he may be no giving interviews now or walking the red carpet of any BS awards shows, remember last year Rob was the one that did most of the promotion, most of it was by himself all alone, so I think he deserves this time to sit back and let Taylor do it.

OK we get it. Get down from your soapbox now.
{{{sigh}}} A tad disappointing but what the heck - guess I can't blame him... If you think about it, Twitter is N0T Rob's friend - more like the main tool everyone uses to stalk his every move... It's probably ruined many an attempt at a quite-ish/normal-y night out. It's like cozying up with the enemy for him - lol!ReplyDelete
Waaooohohoh ! xDReplyDelete
You people need to calm down = )
I think what he'd done is cute, so why blaming him ? Uh ?
Team Rob ; )
I loved it and will save the text forever. lol OK maybe not forever but for a while.ReplyDelete
People just need to lay off. Just because an actor/actress isn't on twitter, facebook, my space, etc all day long doesn't mean they don't care about their fans. Give me a freaking break.
@ Snarkier Than You:ReplyDelete
Oh you bring up a good point that Twitter kinda = Rob's enemy.
Maybe he shoulda just told us what he was wearing... that'd be sure to please, no? lol
I think it's just fine. I refuse to Twitter - I stopped at MySpace (won't even do Facebook). Now I must go marry Rob because we're clearly the only two adults under 40 that don't Tweet. Yay Rob-licious! :PReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 19, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Whoa, poor Rob! He was nice enough to say hello and you guys are scaring him off with all the negative and angry comments. I bet we get no more 'personal' messages or anything else from him, unless forced by the studio. Geez lighten up and stop being so ungrateful!ReplyDelete
It was sweet of Peter to try to give the fans something special. He sent the tweet before his followers even reached the 1M goal.ReplyDelete
Would you rather get a gushy message from Taylor? (not me)
Ok, I sorta wish Peter had snapped a pic to post along with the tweet, but I'm HAPPY Rob/Peter even bothered to TWEET anything at all. Hope they keep this up.

I'm sorry but to be honest Rob and Kristen strike me as the type that's irritated and annoyed by the fans and I see why with the craziness and all but I've seen bigger stars react more humble and shy about this whole experience they have to go through too and maybe more.

it was better than nothing though :) ahh i love him so much!

I'm sorry to say but there was NO message to his fans in this tweet AT ALL. You people are lame if you think he was giving you some kind of message by saying "this is my first and last tweet." The translation is "I don't want to talk to you, and I'm never going to tweet (talk to) you again." In other words: "I have nothing whatsoever to say to you people." If you take it as anything else, then you're fooling yourselves. He doesn't give a rats azz about his fans. He just wants to go home with a big fat paycheck and be left alone, like every other actor in Hollywood. That's reality. Face it. You'll be happier.ReplyDelete

So if this is true, contacting Lue would have been Leiweke's final decision.Leiweke and Colangelo met somewhere other than Toronto almost two weeks ago, and sources say Colangelo was informed that Leiweke would have final say on all basketball decisions until a decision was made. Colangelo presented his plan to the MLSE board on Tuesday last week, and the meeting ran for three hours; it was a pre-planned meeting, however, and included Leiweke.
The players are not on the same page with EACH OTHER.
The guys don't like Lowry's heroball. They resent Bargs for this paycheque/terrible play. They don't pass to JV when he's hustling and open, Alan Anderson (of all people) often decides "fuck these guys, I'm chuckin it!", Demar hustles and works hard but is also the eye-rolling champion of the Canadian region, and we traded away 2 of the only guys that everyone seemed to like.

Is this guy an offensive coach?
If I'm Lue I'm respectfully telling the Raptors to call me when the other shoe drops--- If they're still employed then.

Essentially non-news since I doubt Casey will be around when the season starts next year.
How are we looking for assistant coaches without a GM? Is Aaron Gray conducting the interviews? #MakesNoSense
I wonder if Rio Grande Valley head coach has anything to do with Glen Rice, Jr.?
I would say no but it is a good excuse to put this out there:
With his reputation in the mud, and his college resume spotty at best, Rice decided not to enter the NBA Draft or transfer to another school, which would have forced him to sit out for a full year. Instead, he signed up for the D-League, but had to wait until the fourth round of the draft to hear his name called, as the #55 pick by the Houston Rockets' affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. With that, he became automatically eligible for the 2013 NBA Draft, as unlikely a goal as that may have appeared at the time.
When Terrell Harris got hurt, and in-between call-ups to the mothership for the likes of Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas, an opportunity for minutes arose, and Rice took full advantage. His first start of the season came on February 4th, and he responded by scoring 35 points in 40 minutes, knocking down 6-10 3-point attempts, and grabbing 15 rebounds for good measure. Rice hasn't looked back the rest of the way, as he's averaging 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 31 minutes per game in 25 games as a starter since February, shooting 56% from 2-point range, 43% for 3, and 76% from the free throw line.
This past Saturday Rio Grande Valley won the D-League championship after sweeping the Santa Cruz Warriors, and Rice was the best player on the court in the series, averaging 29 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks per game. Fortunes can change quickly in the basketball world, but rarely will you see a player go from racking up DNP-CDs in the D-League to being mentioned as a potential first round NBA Draft pick in the span of just four months.
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz2U8B6CDYU
Wow. Good for the kid. I'm thinking he didn't put his head down, but just kept working ion himself and his game. then when his opportunity came, he grabbed it with both hands.
Working hard and being ready will get you places in this world.

Don't worry about the budget, Joe Hockey could even sell an old sandshoe and a bottle top, says Malcolm Turnbull
Give Treasurer Joe Hockey a desk and a phone, his good friend Malcolm Turnbull declares, and he can sell anything.
"He would find an old sandshoe and a couple of bottle tops and he would be selling those," Mr Turnbull told a NSW Liberal Party luncheon on Monday, warming up the crowd before Mr Hockey's post-budget speech.
"Joe has got commercial instincts in his DNA."
Even so, Mr Hockey's sales pitch to the party faithful had a touch of shrillness about it, following dire Fairfax-Nielsen polling showing the Coalition's stocks have plummeted after its first budget.
In a trumpet call to his fellow conservatives, Mr Hockey was animated and at times defensive as he spruiked the logic of his reforms, insisting the budget may not be popular, but it is "right for Australia".
"We didn't go through ... all the dark days of opposition to get back into government and do the things that might please people, that might sound easy on the ear," he said.
"We did it to make a difference for our nation ... to strengthen our economy, to give people hope that tomorrow would be better than today."
Earlier, Mr Turnbull had continued the Coalition's doomsday rhetoric about Australia's economic prospects if government spending is not curbed.
"Were we to proceed on a business-as-usual approach, we would see deficits out forever, and debt ballooning to levels which would impoverish our children and grandchildren. Of that there can be no doubt," Mr Turnbull said.
Mr Hockey defended the most controversial of his budget measures, including cuts to family tax benefits, the Medicare co-payment, tougher welfare eligibility and deregulated university fees.
On his plan to raise the pension age to 70 by 2035, Mr Hockey said those in physical careers would be encouraged to transition to other jobs.
"You don't play first grade football all your life, I don't expect you'll be a bricklayer or a plumber all your life until you're 65 or 70. There will be multiple careers that people have," he said.
Addressing his cuts to family tax benefits, Mr Hockey said the economy could no longer afford to support stay-at-home parents.
"Who is going to pay the tax that's going to pay for that parent to choose to stay at home? Someone has to pay that money. It doesn't come from the magic tree," he said.
Mr Hockey avoided questions about the bad government polling, claiming "it's about delivering the right policies".
"You have a policy commitment and then you deliver the policy and the dividend flows," he said.

Can anyone give me any advice/lowdown/comment on the relative merits, performance etc. of these UK-based TESOL/TEFL distance learning training schools?
I've researched quite extensively into various distance learning/online schools (to try and avoid the cowboys) and these three seem to come out top - all of them offering a Level 2 teaching certificate course of at least 150 hours (for a reasonable price) and all of them accredited by either ACTDEC or the College of Teachers (or in the case of Eurolink/Training Link, both accrediting bodies).
The courses are also eligible for the Teaching Practice Portfolio Scheme (run by ACTDEC) which awards a recognised Certificate of Teaching Practice Development after completing a four-month development practicum whilst in a teaching job [see the link http://www.traininglinkonline.co.uk/teaching.html]
If anyone out there has experience/knowledge of these schools (whether good or bad) I'd be very grateful to know as I will make a final decision on a course provider soon with the intention of starting a course in March 2005.
Many many thanks
Graham Hadley

Of the two bodies, I'd go more for the College of Teachers, which is recognised by the British Council, who carry a lot of weight: http://www.collegeofteachers.ac.uk/t...reditation.htm

What do Medical Professionals think about the passing of the health care bill, both the pros and cons?
Question by : What do Medical Professionals think about the passing of the health care bill, both the pros and cons?
I am currently doing research on the health care bill, and would like to know how medical professionals (from all walks) feel about the passing of the health care bill. Let me know your profession and how long you've been in the medical field. Include both the pros and cons if possible. Let me know what you think!
Best answer:
Answer by Tofu Ninja
I am a hospital pharmacist and I think it is a good thing. We have so many patients with no insurance coming to ER because of no insurance (or they don't want to pay.) The hospital get stuck with the bills and we have to lay off a lot of people. ER is very expansive. If they have insurance, they can go to primary care doctor for minor things. They also have to pay their co-pay which will reduce those frivolous ER visit. We have people come in just for allergy! They don't want to pay for Claritin over the counter and come to ER and asked for a prescription. Then filled in at pharmacy with Medicaid. We need them pay some money back!
What do you think? Answer below!

Semiconductors Worldwide!
Tech Graduate Became Electrical Engineering Entrepreneur
Albuquerque, N.M. June 1, 2010 – The study of electronics has become more than just a career for 1985 New Mexico Tech graduate Chris Henderson.
The Albuquerque native is the owner and operator of his own company, Semitracks Inc., which specializes in educational training in the semiconductor industry.
Chris Henderson, 1985 graduate of New Mexico Tech, in his office in Albuquerque. After 17 years at Sandia, Henderson started his own company.
Henderson started Semitracks in 2001 after working for 17 years at Sandia National Laboratories. He felt like the industry was prepared for a niche company that provides professional training in fabrication, failure analysis and process engineering.
When he matriculated at New Mexico Tech in the early 1980s, Tech did not offer a bachelor's in electrical engineering. Henderson earned his degree in physics with an electronics option.
Tech was in a transition period on several fronts. In facilities, the campus had not expanded in step with the growing student population, which had reached 1,200.
"The old Student Union was about the size of my office," Henderson said. "Just a little snack bar and a game room. Workman Center was only one floor. Tech is much better equipped now. Back then, the equipment was like World War II surplus."
Henderson said he found mentors in the physics department in Dr. Vern LeFevre and Dr. Steve Sherry. He was made lasting friends who he still stays in contact. He was active in the Baptist Student Union, which periodically joined with students from other N.M. universities for outreach projects.
"Back when it was safe to do mission work in Juarez," he said, "we worked at orphanages, helping repair facilities and building playground equipment."
New Mexico Tech was also in a transition in culture.
"The 1970s were very freewheeling – almost out of control," Henderson said. "Tech had quite a reputation as a party school. In the 1980s, Tech kind of grew up and developed a more civilized environment. But there was still a clash of the old culture and the new culture."
Chris Henderson of Semitracks Inc. explaining his company with a few visual aids -- semiconductors.
Much like today though, most students came to Tech to study science and engineering and prepare for a career.
"It's a difficult school where you go to study," he said. "When I first visited tech, I found that it was a good school and a good value. And that's still true today."
Henderson considered other engineering schools – Stanford, Rensselaer Polytechnic and Rice. Ultimately, he decided the cost of those schools was not justified. He graduated from Tech without debt and started his career with Sandia.
In 1990, he completed his master's degree in electrical engineering at the University of New Mexico, where he was at the top of his class.
"I recommend Tech because it's a school where you get in-depth level of discovery and critical thinking to help you contribute to society," he said. "Plus, it's a reasonable cost."
After 17 years at the national lab, Henderson decided to start his own business because he had been teaching classes at Sandia and felt like the time was right to start his own business. In retrospect, the time could have been more wrong.
"We made the jump in 2001, which was a horrible time," he said. "After 9-11, no one wanted to buy new services."
Despite the bad timing, Semitracks weathered the storm in 2001 and again had to survive lean times when the economy turned sour in 2008-09.
The main employees include Henderson, his wife, Teri, who runs the financial side, and their son, Jeremy, who is the company's information technology guru.
The Hendersons all play a role in the Semitracks. They are Chris, Teri and son Jeremy.
Semitracks also employs business development managers in Austin, Texas, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a course administrator and several web developers in Albuquerque, and a programmer in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The company offers training courses around the world that are open to professionals. Henderson and his instructors also provide in-house training for larger companies. Some of the courses are also offered on-line. Semitracks also provides a training module that customers can embed on their own websites to train their employees and customers.
His customers fall into three categories. Small to mid-sized semiconductor manufacturers avail themselves of Semitracks' services. Also, Henderson finds customers among users of integrated circuits, including defense contractors like Northrop Grumman, automotive suppliers like Bosch and corporate manufacturers like Dell and HP. The third category is companies that supply equipment that use circuits, like Novellus
Through the business, Henderson gets to travel the world on occasion, although he often hires instructors to deliver classes in various locations.
"Sometimes it's difficult, but it gives me satisfaction to know that we are providing a meaningful service to the industry," he said.
In his own way, Henderson serves as an unofficial ambassador and recruiter for New Mexico Tech. Through his church and family connections, he regularly encourages teen-agers to pursue careers in science and engineering and to consider New Mexico Tech.
As one example, Rachel Clements, a 2010-2011 Macey Scholar at Tech, decided to come to Tech after Henderson encouraged her to do so.
"I always tell kids to pursue science and engineering because those careers make us more productive," he said. "We have enough lawyers. Science and engineering are ways to help the nation be more productive. Discovering new things pushes us further. All these little things help our nation succeed."

Indians may use free agency to add experience
Building around young core key to contending in 2012
By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com
One needs to look no further than the blockbuster trade in July that landed starter Ubaldo Jimenez, and sent Cleveland's top two pitching prospects packing, for evidence of the Tribe's confidence level. The Indians feel that a push to the postseason is a realistic goal.
"We've transitioned from that developing team to a contending team," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said at the end of the season. "Our sole focus is to do what we can to build around a very talented nucleus to put ourselves in a position to have a chance to play meaningful games not only in September, but in October next year.
"That's what we'll set out to do this offseason."
With the 107th World Series now in the books, Major League Baseball's free-agent period began Oct. 30 at 12:01 a.m. ET. The Indians have not been big players on the open market in recent winters, but their level of involvement will probably increase this offseason, considering the promising season just turned in by the club.
Cleveland finished this past season with an 80-82 record, marking an 11-win improvement over the previous year. The Indians ended 2011 in second place in the American League Central and were in the playoff discussion for a majority of the season. The Tribe hung in the race despite featuring one of baseball's youngest teams.
Given the youthful roster, and the wave of injuries that struck the team throughout the year, it would be understandable for the Indians to simply be content with their showing. That is not the message that Antonetti or manager Manny Acta want to send.
"We just can't sit here and be satisfied," Acta said.
The task at hand is finding a way to build on the successes experienced during this past season.
The Indians like the foundation in place with Jimenez, Justin Masterson and Josh Tomlin leading the rotation and All-Star closer Chris Perez anchoring a strong bullpen. The Tribe also sees promise with players such as shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, right fielder Shin-Soo Choo, catcher Carlos Santana and second baseman Jason Kipnis highlighting the offense.
The Indians still have their financial limitations, so it seems probable that the club would look more to trades than free agents for upgrading its roster. That said, Cleveland will certainly explore what options exist on the open market and the organization will likely be more involved in talks than was the case the past two winters.
"We made progress this year, but we need to improve in every area," Antonetti said. "Offensively, defensively and on the mound, that will be our focus both with the guys that we have internally and anything we do externally. It's been a good year and we made a lot of progress, but we need to be better."
What follows is a breakdown of the Indians' situation heading into the free-agent period:
Free agents: Travis Buck, OF; Chad Durbin, RHP; Kosuke Fukudome, OF; Mitch Talbot, RHP; Jim Thome, DH.
Eligible for arbitration: Asdrubal Cabrera, SS; Shin-Soo Choo, RF; Jack Hannahan, 3B; Justin Masterson, RHP; Chris Perez, CL; Rafael Perez, LHP; Tony Sipp, LHP (only if eligible via Super Two status); Joe Smith, RHP.
Club options: Fausto Carmona, RHP, $7 million (option exercised); Grady Sizemore, CF, ($500,000 buyout after option declined).
Non-tender possibilities: Jack Hannahan; Rafael Perez.
First base: The Indians have made it clear that first baseman Matt LaPorta will have to earn the starting role for 2012. That said, Cleveland will be examining internal alternatives for first base, as well as exploring options via trade and free agency. Santana figures to see some time at first base next year, too.
Third base: The Tribe wants more thump in the heart of its lineup and upgrading at first or third base is one way to do it. Cleveland could stick with the defensively-sound Hannahan, or give youngster Lonnie Chisenhall a chance out of the gates, but the team will certainly look at other possibilities this winter.
Outfield: With Sizemore's option declined, the Indians can explore upgrades for left or center field, given Brantley's versatility.
Rotation: With Carlos Carrasco (right elbow injury) out for the season, the Indians have an increased need for rotation depth. Cleveland will probably be in the market for one or two mid-rotation arms and the club will explore trades and free agency to fill that need.
2012 payroll: The Indians operated on a budget of around $49 million in 2011, and that figure will see a natural increase for '12 given the volume of players eligible for arbitration this offseason. Beyond that increase, Cleveland did get some flexibility after declining the $9 million option on Sizemore.

Amar'e finally with a nice drive and finish.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I can also see him as a starter. But if he starts, we have nothing off the bench. He's the crowd pleaser, he needs to come in when STAT or Melo takes a seat...I just don't see anyone else on our team be that guy..Like Nate...come in and fire up the crowd...get the others going..
STAT dosen't see a basket when he shoots. He see Grand Canyon. He can't miss today.
Melo to Chandler and he brought down the house..I LOVE THE KNICKS..
Shumpert!!!! I cant believe how good this guy is!!!!
We about to be over 500 where we belong tonight!!!
Melo's night isnt about scoring, its about assisting this team win.
Shumpert will be a superstar
I'm getting goose bumps watchin this game! I love it!
get teammates
warmed-up by getting touches and a chance to score on offense.
If Dantoni had a coaching system Bibby would be the perfect starting PG.
We dont have any design-plays for players or a high or low post-up Stat or
Tyson at the foul-line to pass the ball around.
Think Duncan/KG/Dirk/Bosh/Noah getting the ball at the foul line to pass to cutters.
Shump style brings energy....which we need coming off our bench for 30+ minutes!!!
Somebody please tell Anthony to stop taking shots...
ShumpShump for ROY
Bill walker needs to stop shooting 3's and dunk the fkin ball

Memory management, locking, page sizes, slow, and if you pushed it it could lock up your system, but maybe adequate to keep your system from locking up if you run barely over, rarely. I personally hope they do it, although I do think that we're about to go through yet another paradigm shift. With flash coming down to around $10/GB or less wholesale in sizes up to 16 GB, I think we'll start seeing pure flash-boot systems appear any day now. As in systems with built-in 4 GB flash memory holding the basic OS installation, systems with 8 GB flash memory holding the OS and several GB of userspace. A whole new kind of thin. Built in would have certain advantages -- USB fobs are too easy to knock off and are regrettably slow. For clusters I'm not sure -- they are quite slow compared to disk, and even slow compared to network disk. Too slow? For loading/reading they're not so bad, and Linux will get the pages into memory if there is enough memory and work no better or worse than network diskless. The diffentiation then is management. I'm not convinced that it will be easier to install and manage a cluster with (say) 1 to 4 GB flash drives used as boot compared to using e.g. warewulf to manage boot images. Or that it will be faster. Or (really) cheaper -- $40 is still $40 more than a diskless system, and $40 that would buy it more real memory that is likely to ultimately be more valuable in terms of improved performance and stability. rgb > > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Analysis: Bryan Colangelo could go a number of ways here. He has strong interest in both Brandon Knight and Kemba Walker. If Knight's on the board, I don't think he gets passed on here. If Walker's here the question for Colangelo is what to do with Leandro Barbosa and Jerryd Bayless. Both players are similar to Walker.
He could go with an international player, such as Valanciunas, Vesely or Bismack Biyombo. Of the three, sources say, Vesely is the highest on their board. He provides size and athleticism at the small forward position. The other dark horse here is Kawhi Leonard.
Irving, Williams, Knight, Kanter, Vesely, Leonard, Walker, Valanciunas, Morris, Burks, Klay Thompson, Singleton, Tristan Thompson, Biyombo

Bought one with my new deck 1.5 years ago. It stopped working completely. Was no longer covered by warranty. Had to pay full price for a replacement in order to use my iphone the deck i have installed. next time ill be sure to purchase a deck that doesnt require a cord like this to use my iphone.
Pros: worked fine for 1.5 years
Cons: shouldve lasted longer for the price i paid. But this is the first time ive EVER been dissapointed with a product i purchased with Crutchfield.

• When watching an NBA game, most fans and analysts naturally trace the movement of the ball and the path of the ball-handler. We watch as drives are repelled, deft passes are threaded in traffic, and shots are hurled over the outstretched arms of defenders. But focusing too intently on the ball glosses over all of the work and movement that goes into a given possession from all five players on the floor, including those tasked with the dirty work of freeing up their teammates via screens. Over at Daily Thunder, Royce Young waxed on the importance of the screen in Oklahoma City's offense specifically, and the plight of the screen-setter more generally:
It's kind of a strange thing, really. [Russell] Westbrook gets an assist for just passing the ball four feet to Durant as he curls off a Collison screen. It goes in the play-by-play, the PA guy announces it in the arena — Kevin Durant! From Russsssell — and Westbrook gets a nice little stat in the box score. Collison doesn't get anything. But a successful set is often a three-part harmony. One part pass, one part screen, one part shot.
Now, by no means am I going to sit here and act like Durant or Westbrook would see their production destroyed if Collison or Perk weren't on the floor. Some guys are better at screening than others, but mostly, like Collison said, it's really just about getting in someone's way. But what separates something as elementary as just standing in somebody's path and somebody setting a good, solid pick that opens space is the mental part of it. The timing, knowing when and where to set it, understanding space, delivery and all that stuff. Listening to Collison describe it, it's something he approaches as his craft, something he really attempts to understand.
"I think a big part too of screening is like how hard you run in to it, how quickly you run into it. Because how they defend the screen is going to depend on what your guy does as guarding the screener," [Collison] said. "So if he's playing from behind and he can't get up in time, you're going to get something good. If you walk into it, he's going to be up and you're not going to get anything good. So there's that part of it too and I've learned that the last few years how important that is."
• Corey Brewer, leakout artist.
• Grant Hill is 40 years old, and somehow where he went to college is still a big deal (and one worthy of ridiculous generalization) to some.
• The Dallas Mavericks have won four straight, but Ian Levy warns against the notion of putting too much stock in their offensive resurgence. By comparing all of Dallas' attempts to their expected points per shot, Levy finds that the Mavs have benefitted from unusually good shooting from the least efficient spots on the floor.
• An amazing bit of trivia, courtesy of Zach Lowe:
Things changed [for the Wizards] when Nenê returned and started playing more minutes; the Wiz have actually outscored opponents by about 5 points per 100 possessions with Nenê on the floor, a mark that would rank 6th overall — pretty remarkable for a 7-29 team. It's amazing how much better those semi-artful sets work with a big guy who can actually shoot, pass, and cut in smart ways — and how many more sets become possible for Randy Wittman to actually use.
• Here's a great interview with Keith Bogans, who is so far down the Brooklyn Nets media availability totem pole that he was initially skeptical of The Brooklyn Game's Devin Kharpertian wanting an on-record chat.
• Some interesting perspective here on the value of taking a practice stroke before shooting free throws.
• Brian Scalabrine shared the scary story of his multi-concussion season with TrueHoop's Beckley Mason, in which he lied to doctors in order to get clearance to play in the 2009 postseason:
I just told the doctor, Man this is great! I don't have any issues with light, I'm sleeping better, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
Were those things happening? Eh, not really. I wasn't sleeping much better, I wasn't feeling much better. But at the end of the day, there was an opportunity to play, so I played. That's the decision I have to live with, and I'm completely fine with it.
I get a lot of heat for how I played in that playoff series. They judge me based just on that. But I'll remind people that I couldn't exercise, not play basketball, I couldn't exercise for two months. Two entire months. I could walk. I couldn't lift, I couldn't run, I couldn't shoot, I couldn't do anything for literally two straight months.
I would like to see another NBA player, even a star, who has to sit there for two months then get thrown into a playoff series. I ended up shooting 50 percent from the field; I played pretty decent for what I did. But I looked terrible, my body was in awful shape. I had to wear a headband that had padding in it. People make fun of me for playing and how I looked, but at the end of the day I had no business being out there.

Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline quarterback Max Browne is ready to make his college selection. After unofficially visiting USC last weekend and Oklahoma two weeks before, Browne is shutting it down. The top-rated quarterback in the 2013 class by Rivals.com will make his commitment Wednesday night.
Browne, who has thrown for 8,216 yards with 95 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in the past two seasons combined, returned to USC after unofficially visiting Los Angeles for the Trojans' Junior day in February.
Last Saturday, Browne and his older brother, Mitch, watched the Trojans practice at the Coliseum. Mitch Browne, who was a starting quarterback at Skyline from 97-00, is still the school's No. 2 passer in total passing yards, completions, attempts and touchdowns.
Max Browne spent considerable time Saturday shadowing the Trojans offense and watching quarterback coach Clay Helton interact with USC head coach and play-caller, Lane Kiffin.
"It was a great process and I became more comfortable with the staff and the players and all the stuff USC has to offer," Browne told Rivals.com last week. "I was sitting back and observing how coaches coach, how players interact with other players on the team and how they interact with the coaches. Also, besides football, I saw how students go about their business."
Browne also interacted with recruits like Murietta (Calif.) five-star defensive back Su'a Cravens and Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) four-star cornerback Chris Hawkins. Sunday, Hawkins became the Trojans second commitment of the 2013 class.
News of Browne's pending announcement came Monday night. Browne was expected to unofficially visit Alabama before making a decision, but those plans appear to have been canceled. USC, Oklahoma, Alabama, Washington, Cal, Clemson, Wisconsin and Auburn were among the many schools to recruit Browne.
Browne has been a highly touted recruit since taking over for Jake Heaps at Skyline as a sophomore. Heaps was an Army All-American, who eventually went on to sign with BYU before transferring to Kansas last year. Browne helped Skyline maintain national prominence and helped the Spartans win a state title in 2011.
Browne, who is working to graduate from Skyline in December, wanted to get the decision out of the way in order to focus on his senior season, which includes two national match-ups against Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee and Salt Lake City (Utah) Cottonwood.
USCFootball.com will cover Max Browne's college announcement with live updates, video and photos from Skyline High School Wednesday at approximately 7:15 p.m. PST.

Ford Escape Noises and Sounds
wvescape Posts: 1I was wondering if 2hills or anyone else has had luck with the new TSB was issued on July 22 to fix the hoot in the transmission. TSB11-7-23. Please respond it drives me crazy.
suzyatv Posts: 1I am taking the vehicle in this week for what Ford tells me is a "simple" fix.
I am alarmed by the many posts about this problem and the fact that it has gone on so long.
I hope that the fix works or I will be an unhappy camper. It is most annoying and getting worse.
Has anyone requested the assurance that it will not do long term harm in writing.
That will be my strategy,
I returned from vacation only to find the ford dealer hadn't ordered the snubber as he had promised. I have an appointment on the 27th to have this part installed so hopefully this is the long awaited fix. I think most of my frustration with this noise is the fact the local dealer acts like its no big deal and I should just go away. Dealers are great when they sell you a car but when you have problems.... well its a crap shoot. I left one dealer in town because they shafted me on a repair to my 2001 escape now this dealer is stating to geive me the run around. I'll keep you posted on the fix.
I have had my 2010 into the ford dealership and had a snubber installed in the transmission as per TSB11-7-23. We took the car on a road trip the next day and had a lot of stop and go traffic and the "hoot" has gone away. I hope this is a permenant fix because its nice not hearing that noise any longer. I love my escape again.
Well I have been driving my 2010 escape now for about 3 weeks and do not have the hoot, but the transmission is noisier than it used to be, probably the snubber has something to do with it.
Just had the "subber" fix for the hoot noise done on my Escape AWD and so far so good. The noise is gone. If it comes back I will post it.
I meant "snubber". It took six hours to put in the piece. They had to take the transmission apart. It is supposed to keep the transmission chain "taut" so that it doesn't make the noise.
normak2 Posts: 1I just had the transmission in my '10 Escape rebuilt. It had 24,000 miles on it when it began to have just a slight hesitation when going at highway speeds. They checked the fluid and said it was awful so scheduled for a rebuild. Said it would take a week. Well, guess what...parts were back-ordered from Ford. So well over 2 weeks later, I finally have my car back in the garage. Also had to have the module for the heating/cooling system replaced. Also the alternator pulley had to be replaced due to a rattle. All of this at 24,000 miles. I am disgusted. I also had to get to my 3rd loaner car before I had one that was decent.
My fear is what else will go wrong with this car? I'm retired and never expected to have to have these challenges so soon in the ownership. It was a one-year-old Ford lease car. (one "owner" only) so presumed it would be in good condition. Feel let down!
nvbanker Posts: 7,285Odds are, if it was a lease car turned in within a year, it was a buy back or lemon, or the owner just got tired of the problems and turned it in on another one, which is costly to do. Or, could have been a repo. Anyway, they don't make 1 year leases routinely - I think you got someone else problem. These issues are NOT normal for an Escape. I've had 9.
connie43 Posts: 1Did you ever resolve your clicking noise problem?
danno56 Posts: 1Hi ...this is kind of related to the Ford Escape rear end noise issue posted 2 years ago. Thought I would give this info to your readers, we just recently discovered a whinning/whistling noise from the rear of our 2007 Escape. I thought it sounded alot like the diff case, and possibly the wheel bearings. To the shop for diagnosis it went where, they could not find anything wrong other than it had regular 90 weight oil instead of the synth stuff. Everyone was stumped including me cause the noise was annoying! I jacked it up, spun the wheels, checked all i could check, and then realized the noise started when i put the luggage racks back on! Duh
printerman1 Posts: 68what program can tweak the engine computer to give better gas mileage, then re-tweak it in case of in case it goes into be fixed.
I noted European version of this 2011, given much better mileage. We do a lot of distance driving. Forget about the emissions, I just want better mileage.

The plight of the Florida grasshopper sparrow
Scientists are racing against time to save the Florida grasshopper sparrow, one of the most endangered birds in the United States, Margaret G. Zackowitz writes in this month's National Geographic.
Says Audubon Florida: The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow is a federally endangered bird found nowhere else in the world. Despite public land managers' efforts to recover the bird its population continues to decline steeply on the very lands where it should be thriving. Without immediate intervention the outlook is dire for this diminutive Florida prairie specialist.
Adds the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission: The Florida grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus) is a fascinating grassland bird found only in the dry prairies of south-central Florida. This non-migratory subspecies is critically endangered as a result of range wide habitat loss, restricted distribution and population decline. Its secretive behavior makes this bird a challenge for biologists and land managers who work hard to slow its decline by identifying limiting factors and implementing management actions.

The man suspected pulling a drive-by shooting near Bad Boy recording artist French Montana's tour bus is in police custody and has been charged with murder, according to Philadelphia's Fox 29.
According to police, the suspect, Frank Biggs, was the passenger in a black sedan police identified at the scene. Biggs reportedly gave investigators a full statement about the shooting that left Jowann King, 26, of Flushing, N.Y., dead and another person injured.
Biggs is now facing murder, attempted murder, and aggravated assault charges.
French Montana was not injured during the shooting and the rapper has made several public statements over the past week insisting that he nor anyone associated with him were the targets of the shooting. People inside his tour bus that night included Maybach Music Group's Meek Mill.
Philadelphia police officials said they have no evidence that the shooter was aiming to harm Montana or his entourage. No motive for the shooting has been revealed yet.
Outside of police headquarters, the rapper addressed reporters and said "Nobody was shooting at me."
French Montana also addressed the matter via Twitter.
My bus was located in the vicinity of the incident that took plac last night in Philadelphia. I had a peaceful concert and was not involved—
French Montana (@FrencHMonTanA) March 01, 2013
My deepest thoughts and sympathies go out to the familiesof the victims, as well as all of those who were affected—
French Montana (@FrencHMonTanA) March 01, 2013
The tour bus had just arrived at the Penns Landing Holiday Inn Thursday night when the shots were fired. Rapper French Montana was in Philadelphia to promote his "Excuse My French" debut album.
Police say a crowd surrounded his bus as the sedan pulled up.
The driver of the car was not charged.

The Fine Print of NY's Gun Bill
At the urging of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Senate in Albany approved a gun-control package on Monday night. (The Assembly is expected to vote on the measure today and kick it up to Mr. Cuomo for signing.) Law Blog jotted down some observations about the lengthy bill. (You can read the text here).
Large-capacity magazine ban: The bill makes it crime to possess "large" capacity magazines that can store more than seven rounds of ammunition. The definition of large shrunk from the limit of 10 bullets that states like Hawaii have set. But the bill makes a few exceptions.
If you already have a magazine that can hold seven to 10 bullets, you can still keep it, as long as ….

Can it really be that we're nearing the end of the New Orleans Saints' alleged bounty scheme that came to the NFL forefront in early March?
After months of allegations, suspensions, appeals, legal proceedings and a bunch of he-said, he-said testimony, things may be almost back to normal for the Saints as early as a month from now.
That's if suspended coach Sean Payton, who has been away from the team and in NFL exile for eight months, is reinstated and allowed to return to his office during the playoffs instead of having to wait until the day after Super Bowl XLVII.
Word of that possibly happening came just one day after former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue vacated the suspensions handed down by Commissioner Roger Goodell to linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith — allowing them to remain on the field for the final three games of a miserable season.
That, coupled with an earlier-than-expected return by Payton, is good news for Saints fans although it won't do much to help them as they finish off a season with nothing to play for other than an 8-8 record.
But just like Vilma and Smith and former teammates Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove considered Tuesday's decision by Tagliabue to be a win, having Payton back — even if it's only a couple of weeks early — could be a win for the Saints if Goodell allows him to return.
While a couple of weeks don't seem like much considering what has transpired in the past 91/2 months, Payton has an awful lot of work to do.
You have to know that after an unwanted eight-month vacation, the soon-to-be 49-year-old Payton is energized and itching to get back in the saddle after watching his team get off to an 0-4 start and lose its last three games to tumble out of the playoff race.
Even though they went 5-1 between those two losing streaks, the offense has been too inconsistent and turnover-prone and a defense that has held just three of 13 opponents to fewer than 400 yards ranks last in the NFL in total yards and rushing yards allowed.
If you don't think Payton isn't already thinking that he can walk in and turn things around and get the train back on track, you're terribly wrong.
Only one penalty from the bounty episode will remain at that point — the forfeiture of their second-round pick in the April draft.
Naturally, Payton won't be able do anything to change this woebegone season, but interim coach Joe Vitt knows what it would mean to have him back.
"It's huge. ... Sean's the head coach of this football team," he said. "Every player, coach and member of this organization misses him.
"The spark that he's going to give us and leadership he's going to give us … we're talking about a man that's already won a Super Bowl, and he's got Hall of Fame credentials. His body of work and credentials speak for itself."

Smiles, sunshine and snowmobiles: Club's annual Very Special People Ride generates goodwill
WOODFORD -- There seems to be a direct correlation between riding on a snowmobile and smiling.
More than 60 children and adults with special needs proved that theory on Saturday during the Woodford SnoBusters Annual Very Special People Ride.
The snowmobiling club welcomed visitors to the McKenna farm in Woodford for its yearly quest to provide smiles and snowmobile rides to those with special needs. After a snowmobile ride with a club member or law enforcement officer on a one-mile loop into a winter wonderland of Woodford wilderness, the very special people and their parents or caregivers were invited indoors to warm up and enjoy a hot dog lunch and refreshments. Each participant also walked away with a memento from the day -- a warm winter hat embroidered with the event name.
A total of about 120 people -- including riders, caregivers and volunteers -- visited the farm Saturday during the noon to 3 p.m. event, according to Jeanne McKenna, who with her husband Gene McKenna organized the event. The couple are from Bennington but recently purchased the family farm in Woodford.
"It's the most people in recent years," said McKenna.
The Woodford SnoBusters, a group of roughly 2,000 snowmobiling enthusiasts that started in 1984, doesn't profit from the event in any way, other than the collection of smiles and happy memories they help to generate.
"It's just the club giving back to the community," McKenna said.
Ryan Sweet, 29, of Bennington, was among the riders who enjoyed several snowmobile rides on the property Saturday.
"I like to go fast!" he exclaimed after a snowmobile ride with Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette. Sweet added, "He's an awesome driver," of Doucette.
Sweet estimated he'd taken at least six snowmobile rides throughout the afternoon. He said the rides were "wicked fun!"
Doucette said the reactions of the riders, who ranged from 6-year-olds through adults, were priceless.
Some laughed the entire ride or screamed with glee. Many, like Sweet, asked to go "Faster! Faster!"
"We like to try to give back," said Doucette. "Plus, this is an awful lot of fun for us. For me, it's hearing the laughter from the very special people when they're on the back of the snowmobile. It just makes you feel good."
As of about 2 p.m. on Saturday, Doucette said he'd given about 28 miles in rides on just one sled.
"It was -12 degrees when we got here, but it turned into a fantastic day," Doucette said of weather that warmed up to the mid-20-degree range under sunny blue skies in the afternoon.
Linda and John Dovitski of Woodford were among the club members providing rides for kids Saturday. They had a covered sled hooked up behind their snowmobile that could show the riders a lower -- and covered -- vantage point through the trails.
"It's just a lot of fun," said John Dovitski.
Jeanne McKenna said those who volunteer at the event get as much out of it as the participants. "We all know how much the participants love the event, but I think many of the volunteers like it as much. The entire event is run by volunteers. Some have been volunteering since it started almost 30 years ago and new people volunteer each year."
McKenna said her husband spent days working on the trail, shoveling snow from the sides into the trail to help fill holes and get it ready for the event.
The volunteers come not only from the local area but also from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. One father and son team drives five hours from New Jersey, she said.
"Without all their help there would not be an event," McKenna said.
Assisting at the Very Special People Ride were Bennington Police Department, Wilmington Police Department, Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, Bennington Rescue Squad, Vermont State Police and the Bennington County Sheriff's Department.
Those agencies as well as Winhall Police & Rescue participate in the Southern Vermont Snowmobile Task Force which patrols forest land during the winter snowmobiling season, enforces safety and ensures that snowmobile drivers have current insurance.
Joseph Szarejko, chief of the Wilmington Police Department and also a snowmobile task force member, was at Saturday's event helping to direct both snowmobile and vehicle traffic.
"We're just here to help," said Szarejko. "The McKennas and the Woodford SnoBusters make this a successful event."
Szarejko said the Southern Vermont Snowmobile Task Force assists at the Very Special People Ride every year.
"You see some of the same faces year-in and year-out," he said.
Seeing the smiles on those faces makes it fun and is a nice break from the day-to-day tasks of the officers.
Doucette said the task force did patrols in the Woodford State Forest from early Saturday morning until about noon and then came to the SnoBusters event to assist with giving rides and directing traffic.
Rep. Mary Morrissey, R-Bennington, said she has worked for the last 15 years to make sure the Southern Vermont Snowmobile Task Force receives its appropriation to fund the important work they do patrolling the forests on snowmobile.
Morrissey said she has made it to nearly every one of the SnoBusters Very Special People Rides through the years.
"I tell the riders that their smiles are my sunshine," she said.

Murmurration is the new release by Scottish singer-songwriter Jo Mango. Jo's voice is as lovely and delicate as her melodies, particularly in the album's gorgeous opener "The Black Sun." It was Jo's riveting performance of the song in the indie film Tonight You're Mine that first brought her beautiful music to my attention. You can stream and watch the video for the song below.
Jo's voice has an an angelic tone similar to that of Stina Nordenstam or Innocence Mission's Karen Peris, most notably on the lilting "Blue Dawn Light."
Yet, in tracks such as "Crossties," Jo's music often has a more wistful tone that falls somewhere between Sylvie Lewis and Nick Drake.
"Kingdom" is a stunning piece of melodic melancholia which culminates in what is truly a haunting refrain.
The sublime waltz of "Every Certainty" came as a song of healing for me in the wake of last Friday's horrific news. Besides, I can't resist any song that contains the lyric "I must agree with Shakespeare."
My only complaint about the album is regarding its brevity – these ten tracks leave you wanting more.

Press release
from U. S. Forest Service
The U.S. Forest Service plans to conduct a prescribed burn in the Curtis Creek area of McDowell County between now and April to reduce hazardous fuels and improve wildlife habitat. The prescribed burn could occur as early as next week, depending on the weather.
The prescribed burn will be implemented approximately six miles north of Old Fort, N.C, in the Grandfather Ranger District, Pisgah National Forest. Part of the area is a sanctuary for bears, which will benefit from the prescribed burn. The containment lines for the fire are Curtis Creek Rd, Newberry Creek Rd and trail, as well as Horse Branch and Licklog Branch creeks. The following trails will be closed during the prescribed burn: Newberry Creek Trail #210 and Snook's Nose #211.
The safety of the firefighters and public is the number one priority. The public is asked to heed signs posted at trailheads and roads and to stay away from burn areas and closed roads and trails.
The burn will occur over a 4-5-day period. The Forest Service will conduct the prescribed burn when environmental conditions permit; wind and relative humidity are key factors in fire behavior, safety and smoke control. The Forest Service is required to meet state air quality requirements and will conduct smoke modeling to determine the optimal conditions for minimizing the effects of smoke. The proper personnel and equipment will be on site during and after implementation of the prescribed burn.
The burn will remove woody debris and enhance wildlife habitat by decreasing the amount of mountain laurel and rhododendron. This management practice will allow mast-producing plant species to grow, improving habitat for game and non-game animal species such as turkeys, resident and neo-tropical songbirds, deer and bears.
The U.S. Forest Service will conduct the burn in cooperation with the NC Forest Service, Old Fort Volunteer Fire Department and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Approximately 3,700 acres of U.S. Forest Service land will be burned. Approximately 100 acres of National Park Service land will be included in the burn. Private land is not included in the burn.
The Forest Service is conducting the burn as part of the Grandfather Restoration Project, a 10-year project designed to restore 40,000 acres of the Grandfather Ranger District. The project is restoring fire-adapted ecosystems by enhancing conditions for a variety of native plants and wildlife, controlling non-native species and protecting hemlocks against hemlock woolly adelgids.
For more information on prescribed fire, visit the U.S. Forest Service website, http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/management/. Information about the National Forests in North Carolina is available at http://www.fs.usda.gov/nfsnc.
For more information, contact the Grandfather Ranger District at 828-652-2144.
