Cubs will eye lefty hitter at Meetings
Hendry could look to unload a big contract for flexibility
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
Left-handed-hitting outfielder: In the Cubs' 10 games against the Dodgers, including the National League Division Series, they never faced a left-handed pitcher. Lou Piniella wants a left-handed bat to slide into the middle of his right-handed-heavy batting order. The only real opening is in right field, and that's only if the team decides to move Kosuke Fukudome to center.
IF Ronny Cedeno: Cedeno batted .378 in the first month but couldn't maintain that the rest of the year, batting .214 in June. He can play short or second and even the outfield if needed.
RHP Jason Marquis: The Cubs wouldn't mind finding someone to pick up Marquis and his $9.875 million owed in 2009. The right-hander is healthy and can be effective in spurts. It's the mental part of the game that he seems to struggle with.
OF Felix Pie: Pie has the speed that Piniella covets and brings a lot of excitement to the game, but he hasn't been able to make the transition at the plate in the Majors. Once considered untouchable, the Cubs may part with the left-handed-hitting outfielder in the right package.
OF Tyler Colvin, 3B Josh Vitters, RHPs Angel Guzman, Mitch Atkins, Justin Berg, Rocky Roquet and Marcos Mateo: Atkins, Berg and Mateo were added to the 40-man roster. Guzman may finally be healthy and ready for a full season. Colvin had Tommy John surgery but was expected to be OK for 2009.
Big contracts they might unload: Marquis (owed $9.875 million in 2009) and, if anyone is interested, the final six years of OF Alfonso Soriano's $136 million deal.
Arbitration eligible: Cedeno, LHP Neal Cotts, RHP Chad Gaudin, Gregg, OF Reed Johnson, RHP Michael Wuertz.
Summary: The Cubs' ownership situation is still in flux. Even though management says it's business as usual, they do have a limited budget. Plus, the team has several long-term contracts that bump up in 2009. Expect the final payroll to be slightly higher than the $120 million spent in 2008.

Pennington focused on present
Sacramento shortstop honored by Futures Game selection
By Kevin T. Czerwinski / MLB.com
Oakland's former first-round pick (2005) out of Texas A&M was busy Saturday afternoon taking early batting practice with his teammates at Raley Field, nothing unusual there. But as the rounds of hitting progressed, the Sacramento infielder shed his helmet and batting gloves and began roaming the outfield picking up all the stray baseballs. There's nothing big-time about that.
He proceeded to wander into the bullpen and stand as a practice hitter while one of his teammates threw a side session, then dug in for an imaginary at-bat. He followed by picking up another ball or two as he trudged back to the clubhouse just beyond the center-field fence, never once having to make room for the ego that would have accompanied some others.
When someone joked about the Futures star doing the grunt work, Pennington just smiled, deflecting any attention.
"I'm not the big name," he said. "There are some bigger names in this clubhouse. This is just an honor. It was something that I knew had a chance of happening this year. I got selected and I'm very excited about it. I haven't put a lot of thought into it, though.
"It [the event] is always a fun thing and I've always enjoyed watching it on television. I haven't seriously thought about it, otherwise."
The Futures Game will take place Sunday, July 13, at Yankee Stadium. With the Olympic Games in Beijing in August, a new format has been adopted for the Futures Game. Instead of selecting the U.S. squad based solely on prospect status, players were chosen as part of the 2008 Team USA Olympic trial team. Also different from years past is the length of the game. This year's contest will be nine innings, beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Prior to this season, the majority of the games were seven-inning affairs.
While Pennington will be in New York next week, and possibly in Beijing later in the month, he still hasn't lived completely up to expectations that accompany a first-round pick. He was hitting .264 in 311 at-bats between Double-A Midland and Sacramento.
So, he's out there early, like he was last Saturday, working on what he describes as "trying to keep the ball out of the air."
"I want a line-drive, ground-ball approach," Pennington said. "I want to have a hard-ground-ball approach."
It may help in the long run, and help Pennington earn himself that spot on the Olympic team. He does get on base, having collected 60 walks while striking out only 50 times during those 311 at-bats. And when he does get on base, he's able to wreak some havoc, stealing 21 bases in his first 26 attempts.
"I think things are going pretty well, and I feel healthy, that's a big key," said Pennington, who missed much of the 2006 season with a hamstring issue. "I just want to go out there, have fun and enjoy playing baseball.
"I want to try worrying about being here rather than being somewhere else. That doesn't help. I've wanted to move up the last couple of years, but the only way to move up is to play well. If you think about moving up, then you're not focused on playing baseball, and not likely to play well."
If Pennington seems like a serious young man, well, he is. He turned 24 in June and has been married for a year-and-a-half. His wife, Missy, has moved with him from Midland to Sacramento, and he believes that has been a benefit.
"I get to have home-cooked meals when I go home, whereas the guys in Midland were getting fast food after the game," he said. "They have a spread here, so it's a little different, but it's nice having her here with me."
She'll probably accompany him to New York, and then, who knows, maybe Beijing.
"I'm excited about it," Pennington said. "I've been to New York before but never Yankee Stadium. Ask me again in a couple of weeks, though."

Jean-Baptiste Lully Collection - 2 Matching Results
Search Results
- Persée : tragedie
- King Louis XIV's involvement in campaigns against the Dutch/Swedish alliance in early 1682 prevented him from attending the premiere of Persée in April of that year. As was customary in the operas of composer Jean-Baptiste Lully and librettist Philippe Quinault, the prologue included references to current battlefield exploits and portrayed the king as a paragon of virtue. The prologues of previous Lully operas emphasized glory and prowess over virtue; the change in emphasis in Persée may have resulted from the increased influence of Madame de Maintenon (the king's new mistress) in the court and her pension for decorum.
- Atys : tragedie mise en musique
- Atys, which premiered on 10 January 1676, is the first of the tragédies lyriques of Jean-Baptiste Lully and Philippe Quinault to have a tragic ending. As the Prologue indicates, the tragedie itself is a divertissement to ease the king's mind of his impending duties. Joyce Newman, in Jean-Baptiste de Lully and his Tragédie Lyriques, summarizes the message of the story in this way: "In [Atys], Quinault shows how actions which are not in accord with the noble ideal will bring defeat and punishment. Not only is love in opposition to glory in this opera, but also it is shown that if love is place more highly than honor, it will bring unhappiness even to one of the immortals."

Whenever I see the words intellectual property, I think of David Letterman. Remember when he left NBC for CBS, thus inciting an intellectual property firestorm? NBC claimed intellectual property rights on much of Letterman's material, including Stupid Pet Tricks and the Top 10 List. The controversy even caused the fictional demise of Larry "Bud" Melman (also considered the intellectual property of NBC), although the actor who played the character of Larry "Bud" Melman (Calvert DeForest) continued with Letterman at CBS until he retired in 2002. Much comic fodder was made of this intellectual property brouhaha, mostly by Letterman himself. However, in publishing circles, intellectual property is serious business.
So, what exactly is intellectual property? The AMA Manual of Style writes,
Intellectual property is a legal term for that which results from the creative efforts of the mind (intellectual) and that which can be owned, possessed, and subject to competing claims (property). Three legal doctrines governing intellectual property are relevant for authors, editors, and publishers in biomedical publishing: copyright (the law protecting authorship and publication), patent (the law protecting invention and technology), and trademark (the law protecting words and symbols used to identify goods and services in the marketplace).
This month's AMA Manual of Style quiz offers multiple-choice questions on intellectual property. Test your knowledge by responding to the following question from this month's quiz:
A scientist develops data while working at Harvard University. He then moves to Stanford University, where he publishes an article using the original data in JAMA. Who owns the data?
- Harvard University
- Stanford University
- Scientist
What do you think? Do the data belong to the scientist, one of the academic institutions, or the publishing journal? Use your mouse to highlight the text box for the answer:
Harvard University
In scientific research, 3 primary arenas exist for ownership of data: the government, the commercial sector, and academic or private institutions or foundations. Although an infrequent occurrence, when data are developed by a scientist without a relationship to a government agency, a commercial entity, or an academic institution, the data are owned by that scientist. Any information produced by an office or employee of the a government agency in the course of his or her employment is owned by the government. Data produced by employees in the commercial sector (eg, a pharmaceutical, device, or biotechnology company, health insurance company, or for-profit hospital or managed care organization) are most often governed by the legal relationship between the employee and the commercial employer, granting all rights of data ownership and control to the employer. According to guidelines established by Harvard University in 1988 and subsequently adopted by other US academic institutions, data developed by employees of academic institutions are owned by the institutions (§5.6.1, Ownership and Control of Data, pp 179-183 in print).
So, when Letterman packed his bags and moved to CBS, he was legally required to leave some of his property behind because it was owned by NBC. Similarly, when authors leave their academic institutions, they are usually required to relinquish the results of the work they performed during their employment.—Laura King, MA, ELS

Brazilian supporters left devastated at World Cup humiliation
Brazilians have cried, cursed their president and covered their faces in shame after their beloved football team's humiliating 7-1 thrashing by Germany in the World Cup semi-finals.
After the fifth goal, well before half-time, hundreds of people left their expensive seats at the stadium in the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte.
A section of the crowd chanted sexually expletive obscenities against the players and President Dilma Rousseff, who during the cup had mostly enjoyed a reprieve from protests over the record $US11 billion spent to host the tournament.
The tears began well before the final whistle, with the third German goal in the first half causing children and adults to start bawling in the stadium and in public screenings across the nation.
As people streamed out, police reinforced security inside and around the stadium.
Others around the country shouted at their televisions and abandoned public screenings.
As the goals kept going in, a downpour only added to the already gloomy mood of thousands of fans in Brazil's canary-yellow jersey at the official "Fan Fest" on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach.
Two dozen fans scuffled, forcing police to intervene.
Brazilians were already concerned about the team's chances after their superstar forward Neymar broke a vertebrae in the quarter-final victory over Colombia.
But they never thought it would be this bad.
"This is a terrible match and Brazil without Neymar are terrible. I hate this match. It's embarrassing to lose like this," said Beth Araujo, 24, a biology student.
"The only good thing is I think it will affect President Dilma in the election. But all our politicians are even worse than the team," she said.
Rousseff said she was "very sad" and "sorry" about the result.
"Like every Brazilian, I am very, very said about this defeat. I am immensely sorry for all of us. Fans and our players," she wrote on Twitter after the game.
But Jessica Santos, a 23-year-old photo student, was taking the massacre in stride.
"The cup is back in Brazil for the first time in 64 years so of course we'll cheer until the end," she said. "If Brazil wins, we party, if Brazil loses, we still party. It would have been worse to lose to Argentina in the final."
At a popular night district of Sao Paulo, fans shouted insults at goalkeeper Julio Cesar and other players.
"I was afraid we would lose because we were without Neymar and Thiago Silva. But I never thought it would be a massacre," said Alexa Rosatti, 19, a university student. "I stopped watching for a second and they already had scored a sixth goal."
At Sydney's World Cup fan park, Adriana Schroeder, a Brazilian emigrant, saw a young boy weep on screen.
"I was crying because I saw the kids suffering, I think they really believed that we could win," she said.
"The whole country is crying right now."
It only took thirty minutes for it to be over for Brazilian fans around the world as Germany raced into a 5-0 lead.
"It just got worse and worse, I was beyond shocked" said Brazilian Nathan Costa.
At half time, German fan, Linda Bixa, danced her way through a marching Brazilian samba band.
If she felt sorry for a country in tears it wasn't showing.
"I never expected it to be so easy!" she said.
As the game wore on, fewer and fewer Brazilian fans were prepared to keep watching the punishing spectacle, only a trickle remained at Sydney's fan park as the game pushed through the second half.
Other fans were already prepared to look beyond the World Cup, the crushing loss means that Brazillians can focus more on the country's economic issues, said Brazillian student Nathan Costa.
"I just hope the protests get back on track, the World Cup was a distraction with the focus on the football team," he said.

We then dedicated our trial beds at the Rodale Institute, near Kutztown, Pennsylvania, to these tried-and-true standards, familiar open-pollinated varieties, and lesser-known heirlooms. Our team of 13 test gardeners scattered around the country grew the same varieties. What follows is the best of our 2011 harvest.
Easily grown like sweet basil, lime basil has a refreshing citrusy tang all its own. Use lime basil leaves to flavor marinades, salad dressings, or salsa—or brew a cup of herbal tea.
Seed source: John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds
Growing tip: "Harvest often! With the onset of heat, most basil varieties will start going to seed, leaving you less foliage for culinary use," says Leslie Halleck, our Dallas test gardener. Instead of pinching off individual leaves, Leslie harvests by cutting the stems back about a third, prompting new growth. "Regular harvesting will result in sturdier plants that continue producing new foliage," she says. And when the Texas sun and heat become brutal in late summer, Leslie drapes floating row covers over her basil plants to protect them from scorching.
'Scarlet Nantes'
This is the carrot to turn to where the soil is heavy with clay or shallower than ideal. Not as fickle as longer varieties, 'Scarlet Nantes' is a reliable producer of sweet, crisp roots.
Seed Source: Nichols Garden Nursery
Growing tip: Carrots are worth the extra effort they require in clay soil, says test gardener Linda Crago, of Wellandport, Ontario. "After I've tilled my soil as finely as I can, I take my hoe and draw a good deep trough 6 to 8 inches in depth. I fill this trough with finely sifted compost and seed my carrots quite thickly," Linda says. She waters as often as twice a day if the weather is dry while the seeds are germinating. "I find the carrots germinate very well in the compost and they grow long and straight. Another bonus is that because the compost is so light, I do very little thinning, because they can push each other out of the way as they grow."
Gardeners who find the bean harvest to be tedious, rejoice: It takes less time to fill a basket with this big flat-podded Romano bean than with little filet beans. Best of all, stringless 'Musica' has all the flavor you expect from a bean.
Seed Source: Renee's Garden
Growing tip: Don Boekelheide, our test gardener in Charlotte, North Carolina, grows vining beans on tepees constructed of 7-foot poles, secured at the top with twine. He inoculates beans and other legumes with the symbiotic bacteria they need to begin fixing nitrogen on their own. "'Inoculate' sounds intimidating," he says, "but all it means in this case is moistening the seed and shaking it in a bag of inoculant powder until coated. Plant immediately." The bacteria capture nitrogen from the air and deposit it in nodules on the roots, where it nourishes the bean vines.
We were skeptical when the folks at Territorial Seed told us that this kohlrabi could grow to monstrous proportions without losing its crisp, mild quality—but they were right. Still, it's best to have a heavy cleaver handy to cut through the thick skin. Or harvest before they become huge.
Seed Source: Territorial Seed Company
Growing tip: Timing a cool-weather crop such as kohlrabi can prove difficult in climates where spring proceeds quickly into summer. Test gardener Bill Nunes, who operates a 2-acre market garden in Gustine, California, lives in such a climate. "Winter-sown kohlrabi can bolt quickly here, come what passes for spring in central California. Fortunately, the greens of kohlrabi are delicious," he says. "When I see signs of bolting before the bulbs start to form, I cut and bunch the greens over about a week's time. Just because the bulbs fail to form, it doesn't have to be a complete crop failure."
With its substantial, deeply textured leaves, this variety of kale is ornamental in the garden as well as delicious and nutritious as a cooking green. In late December, we were still eating the frost-sweetened leaves from our early spring sowing in the test garden.
Seed Source: Johnny's Selected Seeds
Growing tip: Although kale is generally a trouble-free crop, cabbageworms can turn its leaves to lace in midseason, says test gardener Jackie Smith, of Belle Plaine, Minnesota. "I hand-pick the cabbageworms from where they are lurking on the undersides of the leaves. If the infestation is more extensive, I pull out the BT [Bacillus thuringiensis] spray once or twice. The plants generally recover nicely by fall," Jackie says. "My best kale tip is to plant it along with ornamentals in the flower border or in containers. It's stunning!"
- 'Blushed Butter Oak' (looseleaf)
- 'Tom Thumb' (butterhead)
- 'Anuenue' (Batavian)
An assortment of tender lettuces keeps the salad bowl interesting. 'Blushed Butter Oak' (bottom, John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds) adds bronze tones with its wavy leaves; 'Tom Thumb' (center, The Natural Gardening Company) forms perfect single-serving heads; and 'Anuenue' (top, Fedco Seeds) is notable for its heat tolerance.
Growing tip: Test gardener Debbie Leung, of Olympia, Washington, thins her direct-seeded rows of lettuce diligently—without wasting a single seedling. "If the lettuce seed is planted somewhat thickly, there are plenty of thinnings to eat," she says. "I thin first to 2 or 3 inches apart. Then when the remaining seedlings get crowded, I thin them to 4 to 6 inches, and maybe repeat again until they can grow to full-sized heads." At every stage, from delicate microgreens to nearly mature heads, the thinnings are deliciously edible.
'Snow White'
Our test gardeners rarely agree on tomatoes, but 'Snow White' brought unanimous praise. Its pale amber color and tropical fruitiness made it a standout among the 22 tomato varieties we trialed in 2011.
Seed Source: Tomato Growers Supply Company
Growing tip: Tomatoes, especially some heirloom varieties, are susceptible to many fungal diseases. John Lewis, our test gardener in Newport, Rhode Island, recommends two techniques that help keep tomato plants healthy. "I mulch to conserve water, but also to cut the spread of disease," he says. "No soil splashes up on the bottom leaves," keeping soilborne disease spores away from foliage. And once a week, John inspects his tomatoes and snips off any spotted or yellowing leaves. Regular cleanup of blighted foliage prevents disease from gaining a foothold.
This onion starts out like a typical scallion, or bunching onion, but it just keeps growing, eventually reaching the stocky size of a leek without bolting. Harvest it at any size along the way.
Seed Source: Territorial Seed Company
Growing tip: Barbara Miller, our test gardener in Boulder, Colorado, prefers the quality of onions grown from seeds to those grown from onion sets. "I start all my onion seeds really early, before anything else," she says. Barbara grows the seedlings in a cool hoop house, but a coldframe or indoor light setup would also work. "When the seedlings are 4 to 5 inches tall and it's time to transplant them to the garden, I soak them well and use my fingers to unbraid the tangled roots—a process that can feel a bit brutal. Each plant then gets its own hole, 4 inches or so apart, in the garden. The young onions take the rough treatment in stride."
Combining characteristics of heading broccoli and broccoli raab, 'Piracicaba' offers a long season of miniature heads on large, bushy plants. The fall harvest is especially sweet and flavorful.
Seed Source: Turtle Tree Biodynamic Seed Initiative
Growing tip: Gardeners everywhere, but especially in Florida, sometimes need to shield seedlings from heat and sunshine, says Andres Mejides, our test gardener in Homestead, Florida. Andres creates a temporary shelter alongside rows of newly transplanted broccoli and other vegetables, using a 3-foot-wide strip of shade cloth secured to rebar stakes with twist ties or twine threaded through the loosely woven fabric. "Rather than putting the shade cloth perfectly vertical, I like to lean it to the east, over the row," Andres says. "That way plants get protection from slightly before noon through the afternoon." He removes the shade cloth after the transplants are acclimated in the garden.
'Oregon Giant'
We found ourselves snacking on these right off the waist-high vines. If any of the harvest makes it into the kitchen, the sweet and crunchy pods are tasty in stir-fries and salads or lightly steamed.
Seed Source: Nichols Garden Nursery
Growing tip: Pea plants are floppy and need some support. Kathy Shaw, our test gardener in Neenah, Wisconsin, uses straight 4-foot sticks—usually shrub or tree prunings—to weave simple pea trellises in place. "I love the look of the woven pea trellis, since it reminds me of Colonial gardens and makes me feel in tune with gardeners over the centuries," Kathy says. She sows her peas in a double row 6 inches wide, then pokes the sticks down the center of the row to form the trellis. "I arrange the sticks diagonally in both directions about 3 to 6 inches apart, making overlapping Xs and weaving them back and forth."

SNOW HILL – The County Commissioners voted this week to
take a new approach to the disposal of excess equipment, switching from a
traditional auction to the Internet.
Forty-seven vehicles and 13 pieces of equipment will be
offered for sale on GovDeals.com, an Internet auction service dealing
specifically in government surplus.
The auction site, like popular general merchandise auction
websites such as eBay, takes commission on sales, in this case 7.5 percent.
Items to be offered by Worcester County range from an old ambulance to a
The surplus property will be sold in batches of 10,
according to county staff. Buyers will be responsible for picking up their
Commissioner Bob Cowger disagreed with the move, saying
area residents like the traditional auction. Many do not have computers and
cannot be involved in an Internet sale, he said.
Also, he said, the county gets paid right away with the
traditional auction, while payment would be delayed with the online method.
Commissioner Judy Boggs said the vehicles, or other excess
equipment have to be stored until the traditional auction takes place. With the
new method, items can be sold quickly.
Commission President Jim Purnell agreed the local auction
was good for residents. He said he feared people with deep pockets could outbid
locals in an online auction.
Purnell reiterated that not everyone has a computer, while
Cowger contended that online bidders have to keep following the auction.
"Maybe we really need to publicize it so they can take
advantage of pieces they're really interested in," Boggs said.
The online auction will be advertised in local papers for
three weeks before the sale.
Gerry Mason, chief administrator of Worcester County, said
the sale method could be changed back to a traditional auction if the online
sale is not successful. Another option is to do both, he said.
county will look at the results once it's done, said county spokesperson Kim
Moses, and determine whether to continue.

My own home birth in 1990 started me on the path to midwifery. Soon after my daughter was born, I enrolled in the Ancient Art Midwifery Institute. Simultaneously, I apprenticed with Nancy Duncan, CNM, who later worked with me as a midwifery partner at Clear Light Holistic Midwifery until her retirement in 02/2012. I became a primary midwife in 1994, having also worked with other midwives in Maine, and at a birth center in Honduras. I studied at the New England School of Homeopathy from 1994 - 1998.
The services we offer at Clear Light Holistic Midwifery expanded after moving into our new space in Old Town in 2008. We offer complete home birth midwifery care, prenatal care, labor and delivery assistance, water birth, childbirth education, hypnobirth education, and homeopathic consultation. We now also offer birth center services in our Birth Suite, where women can come and have a natural birth out of the hospital. We offer well-woman care and consultation.

The test is UP's latest effort to further reduce emissions and move closer to the U.S. EPA's Tier 4 locomotive emissions standards for new locomotives starting in 2015, the railroad said in an announcement Monday.
The locomotives are intermediate line-haul units, with an operating range of approximately 200 miles, and will be used exclusively in California.
"The testing and analysis of these locomotives is part of an ongoing initiative at Union Pacific to develop and use technology in pursuit of emissions reductions," said Mike Iden, UP's general director, car and locomotive engineering. "This effort is emblematic of our continued commitment to provide environmentally responsible freight transportation."
One locomotive based in Roseville to test the combined use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel oxidation catalyst, and diesel particulate filtering. "In testing the combined benefits of these three technologies on one freight locomotive, this Union Pacific unit is the closest an Electro-Motive Diesel locomotive has come to achieving Tier 4 standards," said UP. "The move toward Tier 4 is made up of a 45% reduction in the oxides of nitrogen emissions compared to the current Tier 2 standard and an 85% reduction in particulate matter emissions based on preliminary analysis."
Nine of the experimental units fitted with the EGR technology are to be based in the Colton, Calif., area and will be tested through operations in the southern California region.
The remaining 15 experimental units will work out of Roseville for operations in northern California. These locomotives have the capability to be retrofitted with EGR and other emissions reduction technologies as testing progresses. The Proposition 1B – Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is partially funding this set of locomotives.
Testing on all 25 locomotives is scheduled to last through 2014.

Hi can anyone identify this spider please. It's the largest I've ever seen! Big fat body with tiger like markings. It's body was approx 1 inch diameter, inc legs 2.5 - 3 inch
It dropped down outside my window on a thread of web. I'm not normally scared of them but I'm glad it was outside and not in :-D
This looks like a Garden Spider. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/insects-spiders/identification-guides-and-keys/spider-bites/cross-spider.html
Best wishes,
Hi Florin,
Thanks yes I'd agree it does, having looked at some on google images. Must just be a bng one!
Hi Mat,
I have several large garden siders that have set up residence in my living room. Agreed, very large ones & the skinnier males can look a bit "grizzly", but in reality there are very docile, not in the slightest bit aggressive. They stick to their webs and tend to flee, or drop on a long thread & play dead, at any potential contact with humans.
I have come to see them in a whole new light & now rather like having them around.
Cheers, Mark.

The commitment of Reuben Foster, the nation's No. 2 overall prospect and a five-star, to Auburn last Thursday gave the Tigers their third five-star pledge on defense.
Only USC can boast three five-star commits, and no program can currently boast three five-star commits on one side of the football. Foster joins defensive ends Carl Lawson and Dee Liner as five-stars hoping to lead the way for a resurgent defense.
Lawson and Liner were critical in recruiting Foster to Auburn, making a big impact during the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta just a few weeks ago. Lawson had an idea after that event that Foster would join the Tigers' class.
"I was happy that it was public, I expected him to flip," Lawson said. "I was real happy. I was pretty confident he was coming. He has a great relationship with Dee and I, and the Auburn community."
Many believed Foster wouldn't flip from Alabama to arch-rival Auburn. Liner hinted at Foster's flip at the Challenge, and was thrilled when it became reality.
"It was really important because people really thought he wasn't going to come to Auburn," said Liner.
Auburn now has commitments from the nation's top inside linebacker (Foster), the nation's top weakside defensive end (Lawson) and the nation's third-ranked strongside defensive end (Liner). Foster's abilities are praised across the recruiting world. Those abilities certainly aren't lost on Lawson and Liner.
"Reuben brings rare abilities to the field," said Lawson. "To have that in a middle linebacker, to read and react, to be able to scoop up anything that comes through the hole, it's great. It helps having him in the middle, but it helps the two 'A' gaps. He's freakish and it's great to have him on the team."
Liner has never seen better.
"He is really good. He's the best linebacker I have seen out of high school," Liner said.
The Tigers finished the 2011 season ranked No. 81 in total defense, allowing 408 yards per game. Under new coordinator Brian VanGorder, Auburn is hoping to dramatically change that. Three five-star defensive prospects, along with the nation's No. 2 inside linebacker Trey Johnson, are creating high expectations for the future.
"We think we can accomplish greatness, but at the same time we have to see how things go. We have a chance to build something special," Lawson said.
As far as recruiting, Lawson and Liner are leading the charge in persuading top talent to join Auburn's 2013 class.
After saying differently publicly at The Opening in Oregon, Lawson has decided not to take visits to USC and UCLA. Meanwhile, Liner flirted with Alabama this spring with visits, but reaffirms his commitment after Foster's decision.
"I'm way more than solid," said Liner.
Instead, the pair, joined by Foster, will continue to recruit elite prospects on board. Liner has his sights set on three.
"We're going after Montravius Adams, Tray Matthews (Georgia commit) and O.J. Howard (Alabama commit)," Liner said. "I'm going to get Tray on board. We are going to have the number one defensive class in the country."

Reddick to work in slowly after rejoining A's
Outfielder activated from 15-day DL prior to series opener against Twins
By Patrick Donnelly / Special to MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- A's outfielder Josh Reddick is back in uniform, but that doesn't mean he'll have an immediate impact on the lineup.
Oakland activated Reddick from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday and he joined his teammates at Target Field for the start of a three-game series against the Twins. Reddick was hitting .213 with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs before landing on the DL on Aug. 26 with a sprained right wrist.
Now he's back, but manager Bob Melvin said he'd wait to see how Reddick felt on Wednesday after taking a full round of batting practice before Tuesday night's game.
"He's not an option for me swinging the bat," Melvin said of Reddick's availability on Tuesday. "Potentially, we could use him in the outfield or pinch-running, something like that, but I would stay away from using him at the plate unless something crazy happened."
Reddick was hitting .264 with five homers and nine RBIs over his previous 15 games before going on the DL, but he knows it's not smart to rush back into the lineup and hope to pick up where he left off.
"I don't think it'll be 100 percent until the season comes to an end and we can rest it up," Reddick said. "Right now it's the first day of full batting practice and I'm just looking to see how it feels after that. If there's no pain then it's a good sign, but if I feel anything, I'm going to let somebody know. I'm not going to try to grind through it, especially with the way this team's been playing."
Reddick also spent much of May on the shelf with a sprain of the same wrist, but he said on Tuesday that he thinks he's on track to a similar recovery.
"It's feeling good," Reddick said, "like it did the first time I came off the DL this year."
Balfour excited to see Australia hosting MLB
MINNEAPOLIS -- Major League Baseball on Tuesday announced its plans to begin the 2014 season with two games in Sydney, Australia, giving one member of the A's a chance to offer his unique insight on the growth of the sport Down Under.
Reliever Grant Balfour is one of 48 Australians to have played in the Major Leagues, according to baseball-reference.com, and he said that he's thrilled that his home country will get to see the game played at its highest level for the first time.
"It's awesome -- they've been trying to get baseball down there for a while," Balfour said. "Obviously in Japan it's big and they get some games there in Japan, Puerto Rico and a few other countries that have had it. They love baseball down there. It's not nationally known down there like it is here, but there's a whole group of people who love baseball down there."
Balfour noted that demand for the two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks on March 22-23, 2014, was off the charts.
"The tickets sold out in no time -- they were gone before you knew it," Balfour said.
The A's opened last season with a series in Tokyo, the fourth time MLB had scheduled its Opening Series in Japan. The 1999 season opened in Monterrey, Mexico, and Puerto Rico hosted the Opening Series in 2001.
Now, Australia joins the list with a series that Balfour hopes will provide a boost to a sport that's increased in popularity since he was a rugby fan growing up in Sydney, but still hasn't caught fire the way it has throughout Latin America and the Far East.
"Hopefully it gets the media on a national basis, just seeing that baseball's coming down there, and it'll open up some eyes so people can see that they play baseball down there as well," Balfour said.
"That's the tough part -- my dad's been involved in baseball the whole time down there, for a long time, and the money's not there. It's hard when they don't spend any money in marketing, so they really don't get to market the game as well as they probably should. I just think having this is going to be huge."
Worth noting
• Third baseman Josh Donaldson returned to the A's lineup on Tuesday night after missing Sunday's game against the Astros with a strained quad.
"He's good enough to play, so that's good enough for me," manager Bob Melvin said. "I don't make those calls on whether or not he's healthy or not, but he is a guy that's played a little bit dinged up before and I don't think at this time of the year you're 100 percent healthy anyway."
• Right-handed reliever Dan Otero was expected to be away from the A's due to the birth of his child, but Melvin said Otero was going to rejoin the team in Minneapolis on Tuesday as his wife, Tiffany, won't be induced until Thursday. Melvin said he expects Otero to miss Thursday's series finale against the Twins and Friday's opener at Texas.
• Lefty Brett Anderson has picked up three three-inning saves in the past two weeks, but even though it looks like he's being stretched out for a potential start, Melvin said he expects Anderson to remain in the bullpen for the rest of the season.
"He hasn't started in awhile so that plays into it," the skipper said. "The option is open, we could potentially do it, but we do like the way our starters are throwing and he does give us added depth in the bullpen, which you can never have too much of anyway."

The nonprofit's objective is to get guns off the streets and out of homes. It was started by Silicon Valley investor Roger Lee and aims to raise a total of $50,000 for the event. With that amount of money, it could bring in 700 to 800 firearms, based on other similarly funded buyback programs, they said.
Mr. Cook and Mr. Lee said in phone interviews that they were deeply affected by the shootings of primary-school children in Newtown, Connecticut. The men decided a gun-buyback program that is robustly funded could entice more people to give up firearms, they said.
The guns will be turned into scrap metal and sold, they said.
Mr. Lee said he initially sought to help Newtown itself after the massacre but struggled with how to make that happen. "I decided the best way to honor their memory is to try to make sure something like this doesn't happen again," he said.
He decided to act locally, since the likelihood of legislators enacting meaningful legislation quickly is not high, he said.
But gun buybacks have proven popular when there has been enough cash as an incentive, and in the aftermath of Newtown, they have been even more effective, Mr. Lee said. A recent program in San Mateo netted about 700 firearms, including 24 assault rifles. An earlier buyback in Marin County brought in 800 guns within four to five hours, he said.
He said he and Cook will be measuring the efficacy of the program. Three Stanford University graduate students from the law and economics schools will gather data on gun-related crimes of all kinds before and after the buyback to see if it made an impact, Mr. Lee said.
He also hopes to have other buyback programs for the three cities if the February event is successful. The program they put together could ultimately be shared with organizations around the country, he said.
Already, the idea is catching on. He has received inquiries from places as far away as New York, Connecticut and Texas, he said.
"The long-term vision is to have the programs run on a systematic basis in communities all around the country," he said.
Mr. Cook, a former U.S. Marine who is trained in safe handling of firearms, said he has been struck by how many people don't have the training to handle firearms safely.
"I liked the idea, beyond the obvious reasons," said Mr. Cook, who is also the chairman of the Palo Alto Utilities Advisory Commission. "The three communities are so interrelated. The buyback program provides an opportunity to work collaboratively."
The group is also promoting gun safety through the cities' police departments, city councils, Parent Teacher Associations and Palo Alto Unified School District, Mr. Cook said. He also plans to work with the newly founded residents group Silicon Valley Community Against Gun Violence.
"All of these groups working together are bound to have some success," he said.
` The buyback will be held at East Palo Alto's City Hall, 2415 University Ave., but the time has not yet been set, Mr. Cook said. People will be able to turn in the guns anonymously, regardless of the firearm's history.
Unlike other buybacks, the program will give cash instead of gift cards in exchange for the weapons. To get more powerful weapons off the street, the compensation will be based on the firepower and danger of the gun. Hypothetically, a small-caliber handgun with a small magazine might fetch $100, for example, while a high-powered assault weapon with a large magazine would garner more, perhaps $200 or $250, Mr. Cook said.
The group hopes the removal of guns from the public will help curb accidental shootings, suicides and homicides, especially in homes, he said.

Re: Getting away with it
Getting away with abusing The Highway Code.
When you come onto a motorway and join the traffic, cunts in the first lane that don't move and they honk or flash their lights when you have the fucking right of way.
So if I'm reading this correctly, your're saying that people who are joining the motorway have the right of way, because the last time I checked, it was the other way around?

Shepparton road dispute stalls SPC Ardmona redevelopment
The $100 million rescue of Shepparton's SPC fruit cannery has been thrown into doubt after the company warned it may halt its investment unless the local council approves a road closure.
SPC Ardmona management have asked the Greater Shepparton City Council to permanently close Andrew Fairley Avenue - a short road that splits its Shepparton factory operations in two - and grant the land to the company.
But the plan has sparked a backlash from sections in the community.
Anger has built in recent weeks with complaints that other businesses will suffer from closing the road, which connects Shepparton's industrial district to the rest of town and carries 8000 vehicles daily.
On Friday SPC Ardmona managing director Peter Kelly warned that without the closure of the road, the ''investment program will be halted''.
''If SPC was unable to have free access across the avenue, it will have a major impact on our operations and prevent us from achieving the necessary efficiencies,'' Mr Kelly said.
''SPC's investment program will be halted and we will have to take a revised plan to Coca-Cola Amatil's board who will then review its investment decision.''
The council's proposal to close the road prompted 69 submissions ahead of a meeting this week - 66 against the closure.
Local resident Barbara Brown said SPC had squandered the goodwill built up in the campaign earlier this year to save the cannery from going bust.
The bid to save SPC also took on national significance after the Abbott government refused to make a $25 million federal contribution to plans to redevelop the ailing cannery.
''I think the community went from elation when we were all buying SPC products to disbelief and dismay because of their request to close a major traffic route,'' Ms Brown said.
''Why support one business economically and disadvantage every other?''
But SPC insists closing the road is essential to its improving its factory and reinvestment plans.
The road - named for the founder of the cannery - already has a level-crossing that stops traffic to allow forklifts and factory vehicles to cross.
SPC said it raised closing the road with the mayor Jenny Houlihan in early February, and then wrote to the council on February 14 after the Victorian government said it would contribute to a redevelopment of the cannery.
The council then announced its proposal to close the road on March 18 - leading some in the community to complain that SPC did not consult sufficiently beforehand.
The company rejects and said it had spoken to nearby schools, a childcare centre and business.

Nicole Richie's Baby Shower
Nicole Gets Showered in Oz
As planned, Nicole Richie was joined by friends and family for her big fancy baby shower at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday. Paris cohosted the Wizard of Oz themed event, which included guests like Nicky, Rashida Jones, and Samantha Ronson. InStyle was inside for all the fun, check out their gallery of party photos. Even though Nicole and Joel asked their guests to donate gifts to charity, some guests couldn't resist buying something for the little one — including a pair of sneakers for a baby boy and a maternity shirt with a boy on the front. Supposedly the couple doesn't know the sex of their baby yet, but these gifts are pretty suggestive that their little one may be getting a few more blue items in the future.
Lots more from the party so just
Images include Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Samantha Ronson and Rashida Jones.

Jersey Mike's Subs will open its first restaurant in the state of Oregon -- its 33rd market -- in Portland. Franchise owner, Raymund Baluyut, will hold a grand opening and free sub fundraiser from Wednesday, February 6, to Sunday, February 10, to support Randall Children's Hospital. This is the first of five restaurants that Baluyut will open in Portland.
The new restaurant is located at 10123 NE Cascade Parkway, in Cascade Station, one of the premier shopping centers in the state. Baluyut and team will circulate 10,000 coupons throughout the community, offering a free regular sub for a minimum $1 contribution to Randall Children's Hospital.
"I am thrilled to bring the Jersey Mike's brand to Portland," says Baluyut, a restaurant industry veteran who owned 43 Jack in the Box restaurants in Oregon and Washington. "Jersey Mike's is truly unique because it hasn't changed since its inception. Sticking to core values and never compromising quality or service makes Jersey Mike's special."
Started at the Jersey Shore in 1956, Jersey Mike's wins best sub awards in virtually every market it enters.
The history of the company is one of entrepreneurship and giving back. CEO Peter Cancro started the company at age 17, before he was even legally able to slice a sub. The company remains committed to making a difference in the communities it serves. Since 2010, locations throughout the country have raised more than $5 million for worthy local charities and distributed more than 500,000 free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
Jersey Mike's continued its steady growth in 2012 opening 92 new restaurants throughout the country, a 33 percent increase in new store growth over 2011.
Store hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.

Search continues for missing Eden Prairie woman
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Police are still searching for a 24-year-old Eden Prairie woman, a day after the man wanted for questioning in her disappearance shot himself in the head in the police parking lot.
Eden Prairie Police Lt. Bill Wyffels says Mandy Marie Matula was reported missing Thursday morning after she didn't show up for work. Police believe she was with 24-year-old David Marshall Roe of Victoria in Miller Park early Thursday.
Wyffels said the two had a romantic relationship previously, but were no longer dating.
Roe agreed to speak with police, but shot himself in his vehicle in the department's parking lot. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that police did not update his condition Friday, but say he's unable to provide information.
Anyone with information is asked to call (952) 949-6200.

Prop Shaft Bolts
I started this process. Was worried about not being able to get it done before leaving on vacation so I'm gonna put it off till I get back. I was working on doing fluid changes and such and noticed this forum so thought I would look at this. Well when I looked at the bolts holding the two shafts together they were loose and you could spin them by hand. I know someone else on here had the same problem and replaced the bolts. I took a picture of the bolts so everyone could see. The lock nuts could be spun off by hand so they weren't working that well anymore either. The threads on the bolts were pretty much shot from being loose. Also, my bolts were 2 1/4" long for anyone that wants to know if they replace them.2006 Mobius LSV
Found the exact same issue when I first went to do an engine alignment. Those flat threads are the ones inside the coupling, and don't come into contact with the locknuts, but it is good practice to replace a bolt showing any signs of damage. I replaced both the bolts and locknuts with new this year, and am glad I did. Just good piece of mind. I check them for tightness once in a while, just to make sure they don't vibrate loose.
One piece of advice I'd give when putting new bolts and nuts in is use some anti-sieze on the threads, or some other form of thread lubricant. As they are stainless bolts and nuts (assuming that's what you replace them with), they can gall. And once Stainless galls, it's game over. I had to cut one of the bolts out of my boat. Not fun.2015 Supra SC400

Go big, or go home.
Yeah I put Some on the bolts so they wouldn't seize up. I was worried that the flats in the threads was from where the bolts were loose. Also since the lock nuts were shot I went ahead and replaced it all. Now just actually need to do the alignment part.2006 Mobius LSV
FYI: If anyone decides to do a shaft replacement you can order a replacement drive shaft from Elbert's. It works great. It also makes future changes much easier because of the A.R.E. system. However, you should know the coupler is slightly different than the stock one and requires shorter bolts. All the info you need can be found on his site:

Im a little lost. I loosened all 4 bolts and took measurements at 3,6,9, & 12 o'clock all while trying to hold the couplers together. My gap was uniformly way bigger than .005 at all points. In fact it was big enough to fit the biggest feeler through. Should I be checking the gap with the bolts tightened to get more accurate numbers? Im supposed to be running the feeler gauage through the gap between couplers correct?
I am having the same issue. I can't close the gap. Does it just need to be a .002 difference or less at the reference points (could be .012 and .014)?2010 Moomba XLV

Maybe Doc can give us a new tutorial on how to check this?????My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

1. Loosen the 4 9/16 bolts a few turns so you can free the driveshaft output flange from the prop shaft flange.......if the two flanges are stuck together just bump the engine over
2. Now pull the prop shaft flange into the vdrive out put flange with your left hand check the gap at 12 then at 6 then at 3 o'clock . To do 9 you will have pull with left and measure with right. Yes it may require a contortion move. If you are not aligned one of these will be 0 and the others will be open. If all are open then go have a bowl of wheaties or grow a pair and pull harder on the prop shaft.
When the bolts are tight there will be no gap between the coupler plates even when misaligned . When you loosen the bolts sometimes there is no gap until you free the two halves. If you are getting open points all around the coupler then you are not bringing the prop shaft half close enough to the vdrive half.
Hope this helps, let me know09 21v LAUNCH

I loosened all 4 which made a gap. You're saying the two flanges should be able to completely separate? This was not happening for me. If I applied pressure with my left and measured with my right there was no changes. So it sounds like they are stuck together? I had a big gap all the way around even when applying pressure.

Hi all, I need some advice from you veteran vintage machine owners. I just got a new to me FW machine that is in very good condition. I also purchased an electronic foot controller for it. When I use the original bake light controller (with the little button), I have much better response from the machine, it seems to work very well but I would prefer it was re-wired with new wiring, I am also concerned with the heating up of this type of control. For these reasons I would prefer the electronic control.
However, when I use the electronic control, there is a humming and delay when I depress the control, and I have to turn the hand wheel to get the machine to start sewing. This does not happen with the bake light, only the electronic controller.
Do I need to tighten the belt a bit to be able to use the electronic controller? What is the best option for the foot control on these FW's? By the way, I am a quilter and use the FW for piecing mostly, which includes quite a bit of stopping and starting and also sewing slowly, which seems to make more heat with the bake light.
Thank you in advance for any experience you can share,

The sidebar is an important new feature of Reunion 10. It makes lists of information readily available and it can sometimes take up valuable screen space. One of the first things to learn about it is how to hide and display it as desired.
It's handy because it automatically appears when it's required, and not displayed.[1] That makes it tricky, since it doesn't necessarily stay the way you put it.
It's tricky too because by default, it changes the size of your Reunion 10 window when you hide or reveal it.
