Ten Things About Today's Game
Ten Things About Today's Game
10. I decided that I would start out this week by saying something nice. One thing you can say about the Chiefs is, they ARE consistent. Today for the first time ever, I wore all black, and only had one Chiefs item on me, an Arrowhead pin on my hat. My opinion of the opening kick off crowd was, about 1/3rd of the stadium wore black, about 1/3rd did not, and about 1/3rd of the stadium was EMPTY. This is the first game this year where the stadium was visibly empty at kickoff instead of after the half. In one of the threads they mentioned a guy in a black "Fire Pioli" T-Shirt. He stood next to me and chatted for a few minutes before kickoff. When Pioli cleared the field, he yelled at him. He didn't get 'kicked out" of our section. He was standing where season ticket holders sit, and the people who owned those seats showed up about two minutes after the opening kick. So he had to move out. That happens all the time with people who come down front that don't have tickets. Nobody was nasty to him, and there was no incident with any of the green shirted security wanks. He delivered his message effectively. I heard stories about people having "Fire Pioli" signs taken from them by stadium security wanks, but didn't see that personally.
9. There were a lot of service people in the crowd today and they were well represented and treated respectfully by the Chiefs game management people. National Anthem was nice, had some Warthogs fly over, Mizzou Band doing military music at half, guy at half sang "God Bless America." It was all very nice for the service people. Besides that, the rest of the day was a giant snooze and more of the same that we've seen at home this season. The Chiefs have been total dog shit at home. The two best games they played this year, both OT games, one won, one lost, were both on the road. The whole bragging rights about "Loudest Stadium in the NFL" BS should be changed to "The Top Tourist Destination in the NFL." Visiting teams LOVE Arrowhead. We haven't won at home since the Green Bay game last year. Every team has come in here and all but one -Baltimore- totally beat our ass. Baltimore didn't really beat us that day, Matt Casshole beat us that day by fumbling a snap on the one yard line. Actually, this whole season has been shit since Hali got suspended for the home opener. That set the tone for "player accountability" under this coaching staff.
8. This team is a photocopy of the Chiefs back around 1984. They have no offensive diversity. The are dismal in the red zone. They settle for field goals. In the first quarter, no score, the second time KC gets the ball, they drive. On 3rd and 5, Casshole throws an out pass to McMidget for four yards. Typical, a four yard route when they need five yards. They don't even consider going for it. They kick the FG. They kick another FG on the last play of the half. They give up four TDs. You're not going to beat anybody scoring six points. This is why Nick Lowrey had big stats as a Chief in his career. Because for ten years, the Chiefs settled for three instead of six, and lost over and over and over again. If anything, Cincy looked like the team playing with nothing to lose. They went on fourth down, they threw long repeatedly. They faked a punt. They knew once they got a lead their defense would throttle KC. They coasted the whole fourth quarter. They could beat KC easy, and they knew it. Marvin Lewis eased up in the fourth quarter, that's for sure.
7. I haven't been able to watch the whole game yet. Players were dropping like flies, especially on offense. Bowe did nothing today, they took his helmet in the first half, I guess he's the next guy with a "mystery concussion." Then Albert went out with some kind of hip or thigh problem. Then Moeacki came out after a hard hit across the middle. I also noticed a bunch of guys on the sidelines wearing Chiefs jerseys this week I've never heard of. Mail it in time has officially arrived. These guys will be playing for the name across their backs instead of the logo on their helmet the rest of this season. It's pure garbage time from here on out.
6. Casshole or Quinn doesn't matter. They're the same guy. Casshole was 8-16 for 93 yards. Quinn was 9-14 for 95 yards. Neither guy led a touchdown drive. Charles has 87 yards, but KC gave up 101 to Ben-Jarvis-Green-Ellis-Shook-Hardy-Bacon-Thompson-Edelman. Cincy's best receiver Green has 91 yards and a TD. Bowe had zero catches for zero yards. In the second half Chiefs put Wylie in, but he alligator armed the only ball he could have caught. Moeaki has a decent day, but not nearly enough to make any difference. Brian Daboll looks like Charlie Brown with an Abe Lincoln beard. I never thought anybody could make me pine for Bill Muir, but this guy is a clueless piece of crap. He called six straight plays in the second quarter that did not gain a single yard. And they ran and passed in both of those series. That's hard to do. He may be the worst OC in Chiefs history.
5. There is still no ramifications for screwing up on this team. Hillis fumbled, few plays later he's back in the game. Cassel is totally ineffective in the first quarter. He fumbles, but Chiefs land on it. He's allowed to play out the first half before a change is made. Breaston dropped another pass today. He's left in until the game is out of control, then we have Wylie and Copper playing wide out in the fourth quarter. Draughn had three penalties against him on special teams, for the same offense all three times, but he was left on special teams and not benched. There's no punishment, it's just allowed to happen. It's embarrassing, and the detachment and apathy of the coaching staff under Romeo is just baffling. Nobody, players or coaches, literally give a flying flip.
4. There seemed to be no offensive game plan or coherent offensive strategy whatsoever. We run Charles off tackle, until the opposition figures that out. Then we throw four yard passes, until that gets stopped; or run Hillis until he fumbles. This is perhaps the worst offensive Chiefs team ever, even worse than those led by Tyler Thigpen or Tyler Palko. God, that's hard to believe, but its true. At the end of the game today, people were cheering for Colquitt and chanting his name. You know things are bad when your team's most popular player is the punter. He got plenty of work today, as Cincy forced seven punts.
3. The sideline demeanor pissed me off today as well. With about nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cincy scored their last TD. From that point forward, it looked like BOTH TEAMS were just trying to burn clock to get the game over. The players on the Chiefs sideline -Brown, Siler, Jones, Gafford, Hartman in street clothes, were yukking it up, and certainly didn't seem too worked up about losing. They seem to have just accepted their fate, and look for a major mail in over the last six games. This team, frankly, no longer tries or cares to try. The checks will cash. Vacations will be taken, and they'll wait to see who's the new boss.
2. Clark Hunt was down on the field before the game started. He went up and gave Romeo a pat, shook hands with a bunch of the players, then disappeared. He stayed down on the field much longer than Pioli did. He doesn't tip his hand. He wears dark sunglasses, and he hangs out with the other suits on the sideline. He's usually part of an entourage of suited business weasel types. So he didn't seem to act any different this week than usual. He didn't go out of his way to talk to any fans. He talked to a couple of military guys, but that was it. I'm not sure if he gets it, or cares to get it. He's introverted, and not prone to public shows of emotion.
1. Tyson Jackson got a "sack" today. Actually, Hali chased Dalton out of the pocket, who just happened to run into Jackson and fall down. At the end of the game today I caught a glove from Dontari Poe. Looks like this:
I noticed on the "official NFL glove" in the lower right hand corner it says "super bad." This must be standard Chiefs issue for 2012, and nothing could be closer to the truth. Next week the stadium will be 1/3rd empty seats, 1/3rd Donk fans, and 1/3rd pissed off Chiefs fans. I expect more of the same or worse, and we've never played well against Peyton Manning. The Chiefs are nothing, if not consistent.

So question George......
Is this is the worst Arrowhead atmosphere you have ever seen? I was just a kid back in the 80s, but i dont remember fan apathy and anger being quite as bad as this season.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.

I think in the 1980's, there were fewer Chiefs fans, and the general feeling was apathy. Also, usually the team would finish just good enough to draft mid-pack. They'd go 6-10, or 7-9, etc etc etc, so they would perpetuate their mediocrity. The problem is, it was like that for an entire decade.
Now with social media, and the 24 hour news cycle, and sports talk radio, the intensity of the spotlight is more intense. Also, the cost of the tickets are much higher now than then. So the commitment a season ticket holder must make, in terms of dollars, is much higher now than then. Back then, tickets were $16 a game for a great seat. Now, my seats are around $125 each. So the bite it takes out of your pocketbook stings a lot more.

Your review is spot on. No accountability and a team that is just like the crap we had in the 80's, probably worse.
Being a Chiefs fan in Kansas City area at least you have each other for consoling one another after a loss. I however grew up on the Jersey Shore and was completely alone in my misery all the years growing up.

Another stat that was very telling from yesterday. KC was a combined 1 for 12 on third and fourth down. That is on Brian Daboll.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Dell Inc.'s bold bid to go private may lead to a proxy war after the PC maker's largest institutional shareholder said Friday it plans to oppose the deal.
Dell DELL, +0.49% shares traded up nearly 1% to close at $13.63 — putting the stock on par with the price offered by the private-equity deal sponsored by founder and CEO Michael Dell and the Silver Lake investment firm.
Southeastern Asset Management, which owns 8.5% of Dell's shares outstanding, sent a letter to the company on Friday saying: "We are writing to express our extreme disappointment regarding the proposed go private transaction, which we believe grossly undervalues the company."
The letter was included in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm owns about 147.3 million shares of Dell.
The investment firm said it "will not vote in favor of the proposed transaction as currently structured," adding: "We retain and intend to avail ourselves of all options at our disposal to oppose the proposed transaction, including but not limited to a proxy fight, litigation claims and any available Delaware statutory appraisal rights."
A Dell spokesman said the company had no comment.
Under the buyout deal announced Tuesday, a group of investors led by Silver Lake and Michael Dell, would acquire the company in a $24.4 billion deal, or $13.65 a share in cash.
Southeastern Asset Management said the firm "would have endorsed a transformative transaction that would have provided full and fair value to Dell's public shareholders, including a leveraged recapitalization or a go-private type sale where current shareholders could elect to continue to participate in a new company with a public stub."
Instead, it called the proposed deal "an effort to acquire Dell at a substantial discount to intrinsic value at the expense of public shareholders."
In a valuation breakdown of Dell's businesses that was included with its letter, Southeastern said it believes Dell to be worth at least $24 per share. "This obviously exceeds the $13.65 offer and does not even take into account Dell's strong product distribution capability, especially in the small to medium size business space," the letter read.

3D projectors were the stars of the show at CEDIA 2010.
Multiple manufacturers, including Sharp and JVC to name a few, debuted their latest offerings for viewing the third dimension.
We've got the rundown.
3D projectors from Sharp
Sharp, already a leader in the 3D projectors for business and education realm, debuted a 3D-ready DLP projector at this year's CEDIA. Hometheaterreviews.com reported the new Sharp XV-Z17000 projector has a rated contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and brightness of 1,600 lumens. It comes with two pairs of active-shutter 3D glasses and should be available in early 2011. Best guesses at an MSRP put the Sharp XV-Z17000 projector at about $5,000.
3D projectors from JVC
JVC announced 6 new 3D-ready projectors, ranging in price from $4,495 to $11,995, reported Hometheaterreviews.com. The JVC DLA-RS60, JVC DLA-RS50 and JVC DLA-RS40 are geared for professionals. 3D home theater enthusiasts get their pick from the JVC DLA-X9, JVC DLA-X7 and JVC DLA-X3. These are expected to hit the scene in late November.
3D projectors from Sony
The VPLVW90ES (MSRP $10,000), first announced at the IFA show in Berlin, is similar to the JVC units in many ways. Both use active glasses technology, reports CNET. The VPLVW90ES includes two pairs of glasses. They are the same $150 models used by Sony's 3D LCD TVs. Unlike the JVC projectors, the required IR emitter is built into the unit.
3D projectors from Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi launched its latest home theater projector, the Diamond 3D 1080p, at CEDIA. The LCoS unit is capable of producing 100+ inch images at a 120,000:1 contrast. The Diamond 3D projector has an auto-iris function and a 120Hz refresh rate. Users can tweak the color, intensity and brightness, as well as individual red, green, cyan, magenta and yellow colors through the independent management function, reports Electronicista.com. No word on the 3D protocol used, pricing or availability.
Optoma and 3D projection
Optoma's new 3D-XL converter box enables 720p 3D projectors to play 3D Blu-ray discs through their HDMI inputs. This is big news. Before, 720p projectors were only able to receive content from a PC through a VGA or DVI cable, which could reduce the image quality to a lousy 480i.
Expect this to hit the shelves later this year. The price is a rumored $400.
"The 3D-XL is an important product for the market right now," Jon Grodern, senior director of product and marketing for Optoma, told MaximumPC.com. "It gives a large installed base a way to embrace 3D life without having to make a new, expensive investment."
Which innovations in 3D technology are you waiting for?

Toiling away will never be like flogging a classic GT at 11/10ths, but a line of seats inspired by classic sports cars' butt-buckets may make doing that presentation just a bit less sucky.
Designer David Clark took inspiration for a new run of chairs from the classic seats of Alfa Romeo, Bentley and Porsche. The "Veloce" combines cherry wood and faux leather with brushed aluminum; Modena takes the old Bentley-style low-back seat and adds wood and metallic accents, and "Infiniti" wraps an aluminum frame around a Porsche-stye bucket. They're priced from $647 (just the seat, no frame) to nearly $1,200.
They're not quite as racy as the Porsche 917 and Ferrari F1 chairs, but they are cheaper and more HR-friendly.

Hot Planet
One of the smallest planets yet discovered around a "normal" star isn't likely to be a popular destination for future star travelers. The planet is smaller than Earth, but it's only a couple of million miles from its parent star. At that distance, its surface temperature is more than a thousand degrees Fahrenheit — so hot that the surface may be coated with molten rock.
The planet orbits the red-dwarf star Gliese 436, which is far smaller, fainter, and cooler than the Sun. Its surface is so cool that it emits most of its light in the infrared. Infrared wavelengths are tough to see from Earth because they're absorbed by the atmosphere. So scientists were studying the star and another known planet with Spitzer Space Telescope, which is sensitive to the infrared.
Spitzer detected tiny dips in the star's brightness. Astronomers realized those dips were caused by a planet passing in front of the star, briefly blocking some of its light. From that, they were able to measure the planet's size, mass, and its distance from the star — compiling a thorough dossier with the help of infrared light.
Infrared provides the best views not only of cool stars, but of the gas clouds that are giving birth to stars, the cocoons of dust that are giving birth to new planets around stars, and many other objects. And the best way to study them all is with space telescopes. In fact, the first infrared space telescope was launched 30 years ago. More about that tomorrow.

(sultanknish.blogspot.com) The Middle East Policy Council, formerly the slightly more truthfully named American Arab Affairs Council, founded by two American diplomats who worked in the Middle East, is typical of how the Gulfies do things. Saudis and Emiratis don't do their own laundry or build their own buildings or pump their own gas, they hire foreigners to do it for them. The Saudi Lobby is their equivalent of the Filipino maids, British architects and Indian construction workers. Want someone to spread the smear that the Jews control America. Hire that boy who took our messages to the president, give him a budget and let's see what he can do.
You won't find politicians stopping by the American-Saudi Political Action Committee. Instead a whole bunch of former American ambassadors to Saudi Arabia, like Chas Freeman, explain their position to influential people, which just happens to be the position of the House of Saud.
That goes double when the target is the general public. In 2003, the Alliance for Peace and Justice ran a bunch of radio ads attacking Israel and calling for an end to the occupation. The "Alliance" was the end of a long tail that led through an ad agency to a public relations firm and to the Saudis. Qorvis Communications, founded a year before September 11, acts as the House of Saud's PR firm. Raided by the FBI back in 04, it's still out there and working hard for the kingdom, and has its own political action committee. Much like the way the Kuwaiti government used the law firm of Shearman and Sterling to run a campaign against Guantanamo Bay.
One Qorvis alum, Judith Barnett, another former diplomat, sits on the advisory board of J Street, the left-wing anti-Israel lobby. And the Finance Committee of the Democratic National Committee. Not to mention Amideast, formerly American Friends of the Middle East, originally the Committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land, an organization created to oppose the creation of Israel. Its co-founder *Kermit Roosevelt Jr had come out of the board of the Institute of Arab-American Affairs, which was headed by the same man who headed the Arab League's office in the United States– proving that the Saudis were still playing the same game as far back as the 1940's.
Ms. Barnett's political activism aligns neatly with her business in The Barnett Group, which helps Middle Eastern companies overcome "trade and governmental regulatory barriers" to do business in the United States. This line of work isn't particularly unusual for her ilk. Barnett was formerly the VP of Georgetown Global Investments Corporation, which specialized in Middle Eastern investments. GGIC was started up by Marc Ginsberg, another former ambassador to the Arab world, who blogs at the Israel Policy Forum, yet another left-wing anti-Israel group.
Tying them all together is Ambassador Robert Pelletreau, another J Street advisory board member, the original contact man for the PLO and a member of the Board of Governors of the Middle East Institute, (funded by a collection of oil companies and the Sultan of Oman) and on the advisory council of the Israel Policy Forum– and is also the treasurer of Amideast. In addition to all that, he's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and on the boards of the National US-Arab Chamber of Commerce and the American-Iranian Council. The latter is part of the Iranian Lobby and has arranged meetings with Ahmadinejad. His former law firm, Afridi, Angell & Pelletreau is based out of the United Arab Emirates. (MORE)

Lynch Leads Team with Ninth-Place Finish
BRONX, N.Y. – The Yale men's cross country team posted an impressive third-place finish at the Fordham Follies and Fiasco Invitational on Saturday. Yale's 88 points were bested only by Princeton (26) and Navy (41). The Bulldogs beat out Penn (4th- 146 points), the only other Ivy team competing, and the rest of the 16-team field.
Senior Sam Lynch finished first for his team and ninth overall in 26:08.39 over the five mile course at Van Cortlandt Park. He was followed closely by senior Conor Dooney (11th- 26:11.94) and junior Demetri Goutos (15th- 26:17.46). Junior Sam Kirtner (33rd- 26:48.52) and junior Matthew Thwaites (35th- 26:50.22) also scored for Yale. Sophomore Ryan Laemel (36th- 26:50.66), sophomore Miles Richardson (37th- 26:51.01) and senior captain Nathan Richards (39th- 26:52.87) all finished within two minutes of Thwaites, demonstrating excellent teamwork. Sophomore Michael Cunetta was not far off the pack, finishing 42nd in 26:55.24.
Junior Kevin Lunn (53rd - 27:12.82), freshman Alec Borsook (77th- 27:54.00), freshman Tom Harrison (79th- 27:55.52), freshman John McGowan (91st- 28:12.82), freshman Jacob Sandry (145th- 29:38.38) and freshman Isa Qasim (164th- 30:15.87) also competed for Yale.
The race was a good experience-builder for the team's many freshmen, who comprise the largest incoming class in the past four years. Juniors and seniors stepped into a leadership role, placing in each of the five scoring positions.
"Today was a great starting point for the season," said Richards. "We stayed together as a pack for the first few miles and then picked up the pace over the last mile and a half. Placing third as a team in our first race was impressive especially after running as a pack for those first three and a half miles."
Richards said that running so closely together helped the team to its score, a strategy that "will be key for championship races coming up later in the season."
The team will next be in action on Saturday, Sep. 17th, when they travel to Harvard. The meet will begin at 11:00 a.m.

WINNIPEG — The weather is changing and once again it's time for the Jewish boys of summer to turn their backs on winter and prepare for a new baseball season.
The regular season commences March 28-29, when Seattle plays Oakland in a pair of games in Tokyo.
But the Milwaukee Brewers are already winners upon learning in late February that "The Hebrew Hammer," left-fielder Ryan Braun, last year's National League MVP, had his 50-game suspension overturned by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das.
Shockingly, last fall in one of those "Say- it-ain't-so, Joe" moments, the now-28-year-old highly regarded star tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. What a relief for a club which had already lost Prince Fielder to free agency for the princely sum of $214 million (all figures US) to Detroit.
The son of an Israeli-born Jewish father and a Catholic mother who made his fourth consecutive NL All-Star team when he hit .332, smacked 33 taters, drove in 111 runs and stole 33 bases is now the fourth Jewish player to capture the MVP award. He joins all-time greats Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers, Hank Greenberg of the Tigers and Al Rosen of the Indians in holding the distinction.
Boston may possibly have three Jews in the lineup in 2012: Kevin Youkilis, Ryan Kalish and Ryan Lavarnway. Youkilis, 33, who can play first or third, has been injury-prone the past two years but will bat third or fourth in the Red Sox lineup after a year in which he had only 431 at-bats but whacked 32 doubles, 17 home runs and had 80 RBIs, but saw his batting average drop to .258 from .307, perhaps due to sports-hernia issues.
Kalish, 24, an outfielder, is presently on the 40-man roster, but due to injury in 2011 had only 86 at-bats and hit a paltry .209 at AAA Pawtucket. In 2010, however, he was with Boston where he managed 163 at-bats and hit .252, drove in 24 and slammed four homers.
Lavarnway, a 24-year-old catcher, was brought up late last season and went to the plate for the Red Sox only 39 times, hitting .231 and impressing with a pair of homers. The Yale grad earned the call-up when no other player in the Boston organization demonstrated more power. Between AA Portland and AAA Pawtucket, he went deep 32 times, drove in 93, and hit .290 in 116 games.
Cleveland second-sacker Jason Kipnis was a second-round pick in 2009 out of Arizona State. If all goes well, two days after his 25th birthday on April 3, he'll start against the Blue Jays at home. He came up last July and in 136 at-bats hit a respectable .272 with nine doubles, seven homers and 19 RBIs. And here's one for Ripley's Believe it or Not: Kipnis became the first Indians' second baseman to hit a homer in four consecutive games on Aug. 3. The only other Cleveland player to do so was Jewish third baseman Al Rosen in his rookie year. Precisely one week later, Kipnis had a five-hit, four-run game.
The Twins have added a second Jewish player to their roster to go along with third baseman Danny Valencia. Right-handed hurler Jason Marquis, who spent his entire 12-season major league career in the National League, is bringing his act to Minnesota to perform at pitcher-friendly Target Field.
The 33-year-old will likely be fourth or fifth in the rotation and, being a sinkerball pitcher, will keep his infielders constantly on alert. By today's standards his one-year pact at $3 million is a bargain.
Last season, Marquis went 8-5 with an ERA of 3.95 with the Washington Nationals before being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 30, where he was 0-1 and saw his season ERA rise to 4.43. Now in the AL, he won't have to go to the plate but, interestingly, he was one of the top hitting pitchers in the NL and was on occasion used as a pinch-hitter. Marquis missed the last six weeks of the season with a broken right leg after being hit by a line drive.
Valencia, 27, is coming off a season in which he hit .246 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs. The Twins are hoping he can improve on his rookie season in 2010, when his batting average was .311 in 322 at-bats. He hits lefthanders much better than righties and is a dead pull hitter with outstanding bat speed. At six-foot-six and 220 pounds, he has lots of power potential. Valencia was raised in Boca Raton, Fla., and is the son of a Jewish mother and a Cuban father. He was raised Jewish, attended Hebrew school and had a bar mitzvah.
Sam Fuld has finally, at age 30, found a home as a utility outfielder who brings excitement to the game. The five-foot-10 sparkplug can lead off, steal a base, and make eye-popping snags in left field. With Tampa Bay last season, he came to the plate 308 times and hit .240 with 18 doubles, five triples, three homers and 27 RBIs. He won't strike fear into the hearts of opposition pitchers, but being an agitator and a base threat with speed that allowed him to steal 20 bases in 2011, he can distract and annoy entire infields.
A self-injecting diabetic – in dugouts during games – the former Cub is a fan favourite.
The Texas Rangers' Jewish duo is back again with Ian Kinsler, 29, at second and Scott Feldman on the mound. You can't define the former by his mediocre .255 batting average in 2011, since Kinsler, who is most often used as a leadoff hitter, had unusual power, going deep 32 times and adding 34 doubles along with 77 RBIs. Kinsler can also create havoc with his feet, having stolen 30 bases and scored 121 runs.
Feldman, now 29, was out much of last year, but in limited service, he went 2-1 and had an ERA of 3.94 in 11 games. A former starter, the Hawaiian resident occasionally comes on in relief and only took the ball as a starter twice last year while working 32 innings. Texas tried to trade Feldman last season, but his contract is heavy and its movement clauses are tight. He will most likely be their primary long man who does a fair amount of mopping up.
New York first baseman Ike Davis, the son of former major-league pitcher Ron Davis and Jewish mother Millie from Lithuania, will start at first base for the Mets and likely bat cleanup. He missed much of last season with a serious ankle injury after colliding with teammate David Wright in pursuit of a pop fly in May. He was off to what may have been an all-star season when with only 129 at bats he was hitting .302 and had eight doubles, seven homers and drove in 25 – which matches his present age. The moribund Mets, who finished 25 games out last year, need a healthy season from the six-foot-four, 230-pound Edina, Minn., native who, for his size, is sure-handed around the bag.
Arizona's bullpen ranked 14th in the majors last season, and for relief in 2012, the Diamondbacks acquired left-handed reliever Craig Breslow, 31, from the Oakland A's.
In the past Breslow quelled uprisings, or tried to, in Boston, Cleveland, and Minnesota. Last year, he was 0-2, but in 67 appearances he sported an ERA of 3.79. Hence, his salary on a one-year pact for the upcoming season is close to $1.8 million, which was negotiated without going to arbitration.
The New Haven, Conn., native is a strikeout pitcher who in his 295-game career has fanned 235 in 279 innings. He has one more asset: Breslow led all relievers in the majors with five pickoffs.
The Dodgers signed veteran Jewish left-handed reliever John Grabow to a minor-league contract this past winter. The 33-year-old went 3-1 last season with a 4.76 ERA in 62.1 innings with the Cubs. He works especially well with runners in scoring position.
Two other hopefuls on this year's rosters to watch for are pitcher Michael Schwimer of the Phillies and infielder Josh Satin of the Mets, both of whom had a cup of coffee in the majors last season.
Play ball!

We'll probably never know what brought them to a high-kill shelter in Missouri. But what we do know is, thanks to the work of volunteers at shelters like Home at Last (HAL) Dog Rescue in North Wales, many of these precious animals who have been abandoned, neglected — or worse — will now have a forever home.
Today, again thanks to HAL, I live with Snowball, a pure-bred Maltese who was used as a breeder and then given up when she was no longer of use. But I find many uses for her, for she is a constant source of love, laughter, companionship and much, much more.
I adore dogs. Always have. And for most of my life I've lived with them, enjoying all the unconditional love, sweetness, loyalty and joy they bring with them.
But for the most part, my dogs were puppies when they first came into my home, until several years ago when my daughter talked me into adopting Brooke, a pure-bred 10-year-old Maltese, from a local shelter.
Of course, at her age, Brooke was considered an older dog, and her future looked anything but bright. Even some of my friends questioned my judgment in adopting her.
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into," they argued. "What if she gets sick? What happens if you get really attached to her and she doesn't live that long?"
Too late, I countered. I fell madly in love with her within hours and, believe me, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. With an older dog, what you see is what you get. Size, temperament, loyalty, ability to get along with children and other pets, and so on.
Years ago, when I was much, much younger, I only wanted a puppy. But today, rather than having to go through that awkward and very time-consuming puppy stage again — housebreaking, losing furniture to teething, soiled carpeting and so on — at my age and because I, too, am older, I believe in adopting older dogs who are already here and desperately in need of a second chance at love.
By adopting an older dog, you will have a companion that can be counted on to do what you want it to do. One that loves riding in your car (my Snowball, between 7 and 8 years old, certainly does), loves all other living beings (like my daughter's little cat), will let you take it on relaxing walks rather than racing down the street in search of who knows what, and so much more.
According to the Humane Society of the U.S., approximately 4 million cats and dogs — about one every eight seconds — are put down in U.S. shelters each year. Fortunately, my Snowball will not be one of them.
Sometimes, older dogs need a period of adjustment. Dogs who have been abandoned or left in a shelter for various reasons know what sadness and fear is, but with proper nurturing and a loving environment, they can make exceptional companions.
But if you want to adopt or foster a dog from HAL, you will have to go through a rigorous adoption process, according to Barbara Moyer, director of fostering, often requiring references and a home visit.
"We started HAL in May of 2011 and today have about 125 volunteers who work with us. We also have quite a network out there, with two volunteers who pull dogs from various shelters for us, and we receive approximately 100 emails every day hoping we can save their dogs," Moyer explains.
"We also hold what we call a 'Meet and Greet' at the PetValu store in Blue Bell and other sites when the weather gets warmer, where some of our volunteers bring dogs who are up for adoption out to be seen by people who might want to adopt them," she continues.
Last year alone, Moyer says, HAL placed more than 800 dogs in permanent homes. Moyer's involvement with HAL began when her own dog died and her daughter begged her to get another one. Heartbroken, Moyer, from a family of dog lovers, thought fostering might give her a chance to "get my fix this way. Today, I continue to do it, even after my daughter moved out."
I, too, understand the heartbreak of losing a loving dog. After my beautiful Brooke was lost to cancer, I was inconsolable. My doctor, my daughter and most of my friends urged me to get another. But there could never be another Brooke. However, searching online one day, I discovered there could be Snowball.
So today, almost three weeks after she came to live with me, my little 8-pound Snowball has become my constant and very loving companion. In spite of her horrific background, she seems to love everyone — people and animals included.
And believe me, I love her. You know, they say love is lovelier the second time around. Watching my little Snowball prance around my home and lie quietly next to me at night, I hope she feels that way too.
There are many other fine shelters in our area. Just go online to find one.
To reach HAL, simply go to Homeatlastdogrescue.com and see the beautiful and wonderful dogs up for adoption — with more and more coming weekly. I promise you won't regret it.

Who would have thought that jobs like metal-refining furnace operators and tenders would be making a comeback in the year 2012?
But they are.
Such jobs, done by folks who " operate or tend furnaces �(euro) 1/8 to melt and refine metal before casting or to produce specified types of steel," as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, have increased 16 percent from 2010 to 2012 after declining 16 percent from 2007 to 2009. That's according to a study conducted by CareerBuilder and Economic Modeling Specialists International that tracked U.S. labor trends and includes data from more than 90 national and state sources.
And that's not all. Other jobs in manufacturing now seeing a revival that had major job losses in the recession include metal pourers and casters. These people "operate hand-controlled mechanisms to pour and regulate the flow of molten metal into molds to produce castings or ingots," according to BLS.
Also rallying are jobs for computer-controlled machine-tool operators for metal and plastic production and engine and machine assemblers. The resurgence is highest among computer-controlled machine tool operators, which has even more workers now than in 2007.
One thing is clear: These jobs are related to the types of industries tied to energy, production, technology and transportation.
You can find these jobs at such employers as iron and steel mills and steel product manufacturing and machine shops. They are at manufacturers who make machinery for mining, agriculture, engine and turbines, and plastic and rubber as well as manufacturers that make equipment for companies that make cars, motor vehicle bodies and parts, railroad stock and aerospace.
Yes, the country is "predominantly a service economy," writes Professor Farok J. Contractor of Rutgers Business School in YaleGlobal Online Magazine. "But the nation is still the world's biggest manufacturer," he says, with "unrivaled productivity in terms of manufacturing value-added per employee or per hour worked."
Among the factors cited for the resurgence is that "jobs once offshored are now returning in industries including automobiles and even unlikely areas like furniture and televisions."
One of several factors that could inhibit the resurgence is U.S. companies' lack of an apprenticeship system, he says.
The study also looked at other industries where new jobs have accelerated the most. They are in markets tied to health care and consulting.
Overall, job growth has increased by double digits in the past two years in these industries:
— Internet publishing and broadcasting and Web search portals — a 30 percent growth.
— Drilling of oil and gas wells, up 29 percent.
— Electronic shopping, up 23 percent.
— Crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, up 21 percent.
— Temporary help services, up 21 percent.
— Machine shops, up 18 percent.
— Marketing consulting services, up 13 percent.
— Computer systems design services, up 12 percent.
— Specialized freight, up 11 percent.
— Home health care services, up 10 percent.
I know it's not easy to pick up and move. But if you are wondering where these jobs are, the survey found that the 10 areas with the most job growth are in some surprising places hard hit in the recession such as Detroit and Phoenix.
The other areas are San Jose, Calif.; Houston; Austin, Texas; Salt Lake City; Raleigh, N.C.; Oklahoma City; Dallas-Fort Worth; and San Francisco.
After a depressingly negative election campaign season in which we were led to believe that the automobile industry was our last vestige of manufacturing and that the rest of our manufacturing had been outsourced to other parts of the world, statistics suggest otherwise.
In fact, they seem to indicate that we indeed are still No. 1 in the world. And that products — and jobs — are still made in America.

92-Year-Old Woman Shoots at Neighbor's House After He Denies Kiss
Based on actions displayed by Helen B. Staudinger earlier this week, she's what you'd refer to as a feisty female.
On Monday evening, the 92-year-old visited her friend/neighbor's house and before departing requested a kiss. The neighbor, 53-year-old Dwight Bettner, declined the offer and asked Staudinger to leave.
Furious, Staudinger returned to her home, grabbed her semi-automatic pistol, stomped back to his house and fired several gunshots into the home.
Bettner said he was on the phone when her heard the shots . One shot in particular went through his window, sending glass everywhere.
Staundinger is currently in jail, with bail set at $15,000. Should she post pail, Judge Sarah Ritteroff explained to the woman that she's forbidden contact with Bettner, cannot return to her home if his residence is within 500 feet of her own and is not allowed to possess firearms or ammunition. Her next court date is April 2, 2011. Let's hope she leaves her gun at home this time.

The CEFM Network, formerly the Catonsville Emergency Food Ministries, celebrated its second annual St. Valentine Day dinner/dance Feb. 9 at the Rolling Road Golf Club.
More than 150 guests attended the delicious surf and turf dinner and danced to the music of one of Baltimore's best upcoming bands, Collect All 5.
This year, the grab bag was extended to 75 special bags. Each contained a bottle of wine from Dave Carney of the Wine Bin, in Ellicott City, along with a gift card valued at between $30-$200. Additionally, most bags contained a brand new pair of designer sunglasses or a piece of estate jewelry.
One of the evening's highlights was a live auction of six pieces of estate jewelry, culminating in the last item, a 14-carat-gold tennis bracelet with 42 diamonds. After purchasing the bracelet for $3,000, the lucky winner presented it to his lady friend. Everyone enjoyed the live auction.
All of the profits from the $20,000 proceeds went directly to the CEFM Network.
On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to extend our gratitude to the following sponsors: Epple Family Enterprise, Catonsville Optical Co., Wine Bin, Booth Properties, Arete Wealth Management, Windsor Electric, Ruther family and Judge Susan Souder.
Also, Rotary Club of Catonsville, Elkridge Rotary Club, Chesapeake Financial Corp., Investment and Retirement Planning Group, state Sen. Ed Kasemeyer plus Del. Steve DeBoy and Del. James Malone.
Also, Akors Services, Monck family, Mosaic Community Services, Realty Concepts, Meiser and Mohler, and Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz.
The crowd, many dressed in tuxedos and beautiful evening gowns, had a wonderful time. Young and old alike packed the dance floor all evening to the marvelous music.
Upon leaving, most of the guests indicated a desire to reserve tickets for next year's event, which is expected to be a sellout.

Whether it's wood-burning, gas, or electric, a fireplace is a great addition to any room and invariably becomes a focal point.
Clients are often taken by surprise when I suggest that their mantel need not be painted the same colour as the. For many people, it's a thought that hasn't occurred to them before and one that can make them feel a bit nervous, but they're usually intrigued enough to see where I'm going with it.
A mantel is like a front door: it's an entity unto itself. This is your opportunity to do something unique and even a little dramatic. As with the front door, it's important to remember that all elements must harmoniously work together.
There's no set rule as to what colour a mantel should be. In general, it needs to set off whatever wonderful items you plan to place on top of it, but more importantly, it must act as a colour bridge between your walls, the surround and the firebox.
Gas and electric fireplaces have black fireboxes. This isn't just to give them the black sooty look of a wood-burning fireplace. Rather, it draws attention to the flames and makes them glow brighter. This black element is the final destination on one side of your colour bridge and is why a smooth transition of colour is so important.
Fireplaces often have a surround and hearth made of tile or brick, and it's this area that usually proves to be the greatest colour challenge and source of misery for many a homeowner.
Painted brick can look great and is usually an easy way to breathe new life into a tired looking fireplace. There's something about brick that looks wonderful when painted in creamy off-whites or warm, stony greys. But a word of advice: avoid painting brick a brick red colour. Attempts to imitate the surface that you've painted over tend to be visually disappointing. Seize the opportunity to give it a new and interesting life.
An unfortunate colour choice in terms of paint can be easily remedied, but not so when it comes to tile. What a previous owner or builder may have loved often has a subsequent current owner pulling out his or her hair.
I'm frequently asked if tile can be painted. While the answer is yes, I usually stress to my clients that it's something to consider only as a last resort. My first piece of advice is to get a fabulous new colour on the walls and mantel and then see if the surround is still an issue.
Colour is a remarkable medium, capable of so many things. Through the correct colour choice in one area, you can diminish an unfortunate and unchangeable colour in another area, making it virtually disappear.
I say over and over again that colour is all about relationships. A colour will appear to change depending on what colour you put next to it. This is important in terms of things like tile or bathroom amenities.
With a fabulous new colour on your walls, the surround can easily become a non-issue. A tile that was previously a nightmare can look great when all the colours are working together.
I consider painting tile a last resort because the outcome often doesn't give great results. This has to do with texture. Brick has an overall texture that gives it a cohesive look when painted. Tile usually has a very slick surface with only the grout lines to break it up. There's an intrinsic relationship between tile and its grout lines that painting can adversely affect. Because most tile is glazed, it has a shiny surface, which even a high-gloss paint cannot match. I think one of the reasons why painted tile often fails to be esthetically pleasing is because we hold the memory of how shiny that surface used to be, and it seems somehow unfortunate that we removed that shine.
It's not any easier to pick a colour for a small surface just because of its size.
The reality is that choosing a colour for a mantel is complicated because it has to relate to so many other elements in the room.
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said that the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time. In a way, this is what you must do when considering your mantel. On the one hand, you want it to stand out and be unique, but on the other, it must live harmoniously within the room.
It's easy to get stuck, so here are a some things to keep in mind.
Try not to second-guess yourself. Colour is an emotional experience and your gut instinct is often the best.
Don't be afraid to be bold. Half measures are a sure route to failure. If you're really uncertain, a straightforward solution is to take the colour that's in the room and find its darker cousin. Building tone-on-tone layers is one good method for building a colour bridge.

colours. For more information, please visit www.kcolour.com

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 3, 2008) - The Lady Buccaneers are in the midst of a season-long five-game winning streak, and they look to push it to six games this Monday night when the Mercer Bears visit Memorial Center. Tip is scheduled for 7 p.m.
ETSU (11-10, 7-1), who has the second longest active win steak in the Atlantic Sun, is currently tied atop the league standings with Jacksonville. Much of the reason for that is due to the early wake-up call they received from Gardner-Webb last month. Since falling to the Runnin' Bulldogs, the Lady Bucs have been a completely different team as they have tallied six straight conference wins.
The Lady Bucs' success deals with the fact that ETSU distributes the ball and finds the open scorer quite often. Six different Lady Buccaneer players have led the team in scoring this season, and four ETSU players are averaging over 10 points per game in A-Sun action. Sophomore Siarre Evans (
Mercer is coming off its first conference win of the season after downing USC Upstate, 74-61, Saturday afternoon. The victory snapped a 12-game losing streak for the Bears, as four different Mercer player scored in double figures against the Spartans. TaShera Lewis led the way for Mercer with her first double-double this season. Lewis notched season-highs with 18 points and 13 rebounds. LaToya Jackson continued her stretch of knocking down four triples en route to 16 points. Kourtney Carter added 12 points and eight rebounds, and Sarah Russell contributed 10 points.
The Bears are currently 4-17, 1-7, and have only won one game away from

It's been an interesting week for the Cubs. Just a day after Milwaukee went out and got CC Sabathia, albeit for half a season, Jim Hendry answered back by getting Rich Harden from Oakland.
Meanwhile the Cardinals ... did nothing. Come in, St. Louis.
Let's hope Harden, who's got an injury rap sheet to rival Mark Prior, can make it through the entire season. The Cubs have some
in store for the guy.
Now this trade makes you wonder. Billy Beane, whose reputation is probably a bit blown out of proportion and borders on that of some mystical baseball guru, has a decent track record of unloading pitchers when they're done, like Mark Mulder and Barry Zito. But then again Beane traded away Danny Haren, too. Hendry knows Harden's history and has acknowledged there was no way they would have a chance at getting him without that history, so it's a risk. We'll see.
As for the other guy they got, I don't know Chad Gaudin from Paul Gauguin. As far as I know, Gaudin has never visited Tahiti.
Where were we? Right. Today. Good afternoon sports fans, welcome to a Thursday edition of From the Cubicle. The Cincinnatah Redlegs are in town ... Dusty, Dunn, Junior and Marty along with their merry band of traveling hayseeds.
This pitching matchup of Ted Lilly and Bronson Arroyo does nothing for me. But don't let that dissuade you from enjoying this one. I'm just a jerk. I also don't like Arroyo's feathered hair or his singing.
As always when the Reds are in town, Adam Dunn will hit a homer and misplay a ball in left. It's a given. He poked one off Zambrano last night and then botched Fukudome's ball in the seventh.
What's up with Carlos Marmol? Is Marty Brennaman under police protection? Will I ever step foot in this
again? Answers to these questions and more ... shortly.
Lineups, get
Did someone ask about hockey? No? Well, here's
. "There's no denying some of his reputation is justified -- he once apologized for mocking an opposing player who had a birth defect during a game..." He also got knocked the heck out
. Worth watching. Skip to around the :40 mark.
First inning
American Girl Theatre sings the Anthem. Very traditional. The Cubs go for the sweep of the Reds after this commercial break. It's 84 degrees, a bit cloudy and the wind is blowing out of the west southwest at 14 mph (translation: it's blowing straight out to center). The lights are on. Apparently it's some American Girl day and the first 10,000 brats received some kind out outfit for their creepy dolls. Also, those bags from that store are big and sharp, if you've ever been poked by one walking down Michigan Avenue. And we're off. Jerry Hairston Jr. fouls one off and then pops out to the second baseman Mike Fontenot. Jeff Keppinger pops out in foul ground near the plate and Aramis Ramirez gloves it. Lilly walks Junior. Brandon Phillips flies out to Fukudome in right to end the top half of the first.
Ryan Theriot hacks at the first pitch and pulls it through the hole on the left side for a single. Fukudome takes a 2-2 backdoor breaking ball for strike three. Bob Brenly thinks it was off the plate. Then again, that's his job to think such things.
Theriot takes off on a 3-2 pitch; Lee rips it into the left-field corner, Dunn's knitting a sweater out there digging that ball out, allowing Theriot to score without a throw.
Lee knocks home the game's first run with an RBI double. Aramis Ramirez quickly falls behind 0-2 before moving Lee along to third with a flyball to right. Geovany Soto grounds out to third but the Cubs take a 1-0 lead.
Cubs 1, Reds 0
Second inning
It's nice to see Alfono Soriano as a Walgreen's Celebrity Bat Kids. Gotta work on that wave, Fonzi. Here's Dunn to lead off the second for the Reds. Strike three in the dirt and Mongo only pawn in game of life.
Edwin Encarnacion hits a towering shot to the first few rows of the left-field bleachers to tie the game.
Joey Votto bounces a single past a diving Lee. With David Ross at the dish, Votto takes off for second. Ross pops up to shallow center where Theriot makes a nice over-the-shoulder catch and fires to first to get Votto. Votto is back in time and Lee makes a great play to scoop the low throw that even hit the runner. That was one great pick. Lilly strikes out Arroyo.
Cubs 1, Reds 1
"Emmitt, your gray facial hair has put you in a rocking chair. Your beard is weird." So is that commercial. Jim Edmonds bounces out to second. Mark DeRosa draws a one-out walk. Mike Fontenot, a little guy with some pop, drives one deep to center over Hairston's head for a double. DeRosa stops at third. Lilly is swinging away. Not that he's an ideal guy to trust to lay down a squeeze bunt. He swings through a few pitches and then gets sawed off by Arroyo and squibs the ball about three feet. He's out; the base runners stay put. Theriot takes a ball to even up the count at 2-2.
Full count and Theriot takes it right back up the middle to drive home both runs.
Fukudome hits it deep to right; Junior back pedals, nearly loses it but reaches out and stabs it at the last second for the final out.
Cubs 3, Reds 1
Third inning
To answer your question, The FTC Oversight Committee, I believe that makes about six, six Justin Timberlake Pepsi commercials in two innings. Also, that Verizon commercial with the creepy lady kind of scares me. Hairston Jr. draws a leadoff walk. Keppinger squibs a slow roller towards third. Ramirez doesn't even look at second and fires to first for out No. 1.
Griffey turns on the first pitch and rips an RBI double down the right-field line.
Phillips swings at the first pitch and deposits it in the left-center field bleachers and just like that, two pitches, it's a 4-3 ballgame.
Phillips hot-dogs it a bit around the bases and will be done with his complex series of celebrations and gyrations in the dugout, oh, any minute now. Mongo no like breaking ball. Dunn strikes out for the second straight at-bat. Encarnacion bloops a single to left. With the runner on the move, Votto lines one to left. DeRosa makes a nice play to cut it off and save another run. That's it for Lilly after two and 2/3. Lou Piniella yanks him and WGN goes to commercial before we can see if Lilly smashes anything up in the dugout. Michael Wuertz takes over with runners on the corners, two outs and Ross at the plate. Good start for Wuertz; he walks the first batter he faces to load 'em up for Arroyo. Arroyo, who hit a couple of dingers off Glendon Rusch a few years back, grounds to third where Ramirez makes a decent play to get out of the inning.
Reds 4, Cubs 3
Lee draws a leadoff walk. And Ramirez erases that by grounding into a 6-4-3 double play. Soto is out on a swinging bunt and so much for that half inning. That took about 30 seconds.
Reds 4, Cubs 3
Fourth inning
As for the basket, I believe it was installed to prevent people from throwing trash on the field, which hasn't really worked, considering its giant two-foot clearance. Either trash was a lot heavier then or Cubs fans had weaker arms. Though, I'm probably wrong about that. Hairston singles to left on a full count. Keppinger lines a single to left. Wuertz gets two strikes on Griffey and that gets the runners moving. Let's hope there are no shoving matches in the dugout. Griffey fouls one off and then takes a ball.
Enough with all the dancing on the basepaths, Griffey rips a Wuertz slider and with that sweet swing hits home run No. 605, this one to the right-center bleachers where --oh, dear--someone spills their beer.
Pitching coach Larry Rothschild trots out to talk to Wuertz. But seriously, what is he going to say at this point? Phillips singles and that's four straight hits to open the inning and still no one out. Jon Lieber gets up in the pen. Phillips swipes second on the first pitch to Dunn. Dunn flies out to left but Phillips tags and takes third on the flyball to left. Sure, why not? But ... that is the first out, which is progress. I spoke too soon.
Encarnacion knocks home Phillips with a flyball to right.
And not that anyone's still talking about this, but, according to Wikipedia, which we all know is the authority on everything, the basket was installed to keep fans from falling on the field and interfering with balls, which is what Lillie Lee Lilly said on the board and two helpful readers pointed out in emails. Votto strikes out to end this one. What? It's only the fourth inning?
Reds 8, Cubs 3
Yes, still the fourth. Plen-teee of time. Edmonds doubles to the left-field gap start things off here. DeRosa grounds out to short and Edmonds can't advance.
Little guy with the pop, Fontenot, pulls one down the right-field line for a two-run homer.
Carlos Zambrano, who was on deck (yes, he was), made Fontenot jump extra high to get a high-five. And here's Zambrano. Zambrano bounces it back to mound where Arroyo makes a nice back-handed grab and fires across his body to get the fleet-footed Z, who then gets a standing ovation for grounding back to the pitcher. Theriot bounces out. But the Cubs get two back on Fontenot's homer.
Reds 8, Cubs 5
Fifth inning
Ross pops one the other way down the right-field line that goes out of the camera view and apparently gets out for a solo shot.
Good start for Jon Lieber. Arroyo pops out to Fontenot. A light rain begins to fall on Wrigley Field. Hairston strikes out swinging. Keppinger singles to right. Griffey grounds out to end the top half of the fifth, but one more for the Reds.
Reds 9, Cubs 5
Fukudome strikes out. Lee drives it deep to left. Hairston calls off Dunn and Dunn just steps in front of him and snags it on the track. Sorry, buddy. Had there been a collision, Hairston would've gone through that Under Armour door.
Ramirez draws a walk. Soto singles and the Cubs possibly, maybe have something cookin' with two outs. Well, maybe not. Edmonds grounds out to first.
Reds 9, Cubs 5
Sixth inning
Lieber remains and strikes out Phillips.
There's Dunn's homer. Wow. Crushed onto Sheffield, one-hops the building and bounces way in the air.
No one throws a bunch of balls on the field and Marty Brennaman remains silent. Encarnacion flies out to left as the rain really comes down now. The grounds crew is at the ready. Votto grounds out. One more for the Reds and that makes 10.
Reds 10, Cubs 5
Lefty Bill Bray relieves Arroyo and will face DeRosa. Still raining. DeRosa singles to left and Dunn, who's a mudder, tracks it down and keeps his footing. Fontenot draws a walk. Ronny Cedeno hits for Lieber. Cedeno swings and misses and then tosses somethign back to the ondeck circle. I hope he still didn't have the doughnut on the bat.
Cedeno grounds to Encarnacion, who flips to second to start the double play but instead sails it into right field, allowing Derosa to score.
Theriot grounds into a 5-4-3 double play. Tough one there, but a run scores.
Fukudome strikes out but the Cubs manage to get two more on an error and are still in this.
Reds 10, Cubs 7
Seventh inning
New guy Chad Gaudin makes his Cubs debut and starts things off by throwing three staight balls to Ross. Why not?
After a get-me-over strike Ross rips his second homer of the day.
So, good start for Gaudin. Billy Beane has fleeced Jim Hendry! That's six homers by the Reds. Jay Bruce pinch hits and bloops a single to left. Gaudin already hearing the boos. Hairston flies out to Edmonds. Bruce runs on the pitch and Keppinger grounds to short. Theriot's only play is at first. Griffey grounds into the shift and that brings on American Girl Theater for TMOTTBG. Wow, too much enthusiasm. Make them stop. Now. I hate them.
Reds 11, Cubs 7
Mike Lincoln is the new Reds pitcher. Lee, who's been in the game all day, flies out to Griffey in right. That rain got some immediate results. It's very green out there at Wrigley now. Ramirez walks. Soto bangs one off Encarnacion's glove for an infield hit. Edmonds flies out to Dunn. The count evens up at 2-2 to DeRosa before he strikes out, stranding the two runners.
Reds 11, Cubs 7
Gaudin stays in the game. Phillips pops out to DeRosa. Dunn grounds out into the shift. Encarnacion hits a swinging bunt in front of the plate that Gaudin handles.
Corey Patterson takes over in center. Hairston moves to left. Dunn takes a well deserved seat. Jared Burton is the new pitcher. Fontenot grounds to Votto, who flips to Burton covering first but Burton drops the ball and Fontenot is safe. Daryle Ward hits and flies out to left. Theriot grounds to short. Fontenot is out at second but the relay to first is high. Very indepth discussion about the latest moustache trend going on between Bob Brenly and Len Kasper. Two of the umps on this crew have staches. I would think Brenly would be a little annoyed by all these trendy soup strainers, considering his moustache probably is older than Kasper, but he's liking it. In fact, I think all this talk has inundated the
because it's now down. Fukudome, clean shaven, grounds out.
Reds 11, Cubs 7
Neal Cotts takes over and serves up a first-pitch homer to Votto, the Reds' seventh of the day.
The Cubs' pen has given up three leadoff homers today. Not good. Ross reaches on a flare to right. Andy Phillips hits for Patterson, who didn't even get an at-bat. Phillips flies out to left. Hairston pops out to Fontenot. Keppinger lines a single back through the box and through Cotts legs. Wow. That was close. Don't think I've ever seen that. Griffey fouls one back off Soto's arm and it draws blood. But he's tough. Griffey flies out to right and we move to the bottom of the ninth with the Cubs down five runs.
Reds 12, Cubs 7
Francisco Cordero will try to close this one out for the Reds. Lee flies out to Patterson in center. Yes, I said Patterson was lifted for a pinch hitter but that's what Len said. We both regret the error. Ramirez lines what I swear was a double down the left-field line. But I guess it was foul. WGN apparently has turned off the replay machine for the day. Ramirez eventually strikes out and this one's almost over. It's up to Soto to start the two-out, five-run rally. So much for that. Swing and a miss and that's that.
Final: Reds 12, Cubs 7
The Reds hit seven homers today and avoid the sweep. Come back for more tomorrow when the Giants arrive for a three-game series. Thanks for stopping by, everyone. See you then.

Don't give your baby popcorn. With its sharp edges and kernel flakes, popcorn is one of those foods that can even get caught in an adult's throat, causing gagging and choking.
"I'd say 4 years is the youngest age when you can let a child eat popcorn," says Susan Moores, a registered dietitian in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Until then, your child doesn't have the ability to grind food down into pieces small enough to prevent choking.
When you do give your child popcorn, let him eat only the fluffy stuff. Unpopped and half-popped kernels can get caught in your child's throat and block his airway.

Cora or Alma was killed on a harley she was the passenger. After that her husband put his two daughters Marie and Wilma in a home, then remarried a woman with five children. Any information on Alma or Mathew or their family would be really appreciated. Cora or Alma had two brothers Ralph and Niven. My mother Wilma P. Gibson born in 1928 married Patrick C.

iOS 6 will allow users to use FaceTime over the cellular network as opposed to just Wi-Fi. AT&T has released a statement saying they will not charge extra for the FaceTime over cellular feature but you'll need to be on one of their new Mobile Share plans in order to have access to it.
AT&T has declined to comment on initial reports that they may charge extra for FaceTime over cellular, until today:
AT&T will offer FaceTime over Cellular as an added benefit of our new Mobile Share data plans, which were created to meet customers' growing data needs at a great value. With Mobile Share, the more data you use, the more you save. FaceTime will continue to be available over Wi-Fi for all our customers.
Some users on the iOS 6 beta were reportedly receiving a message when trying to enable the feature that said they'd need to call in to activate the service. This lead to speculation that wireless carriers may indeed charge extra or not allow it at all.
Sprint has already said publicly that they will not charge extra for the feature and Verizon has declined to comment yet. There's no doubt that FaceTime over cellular will use an incredible amount of data and it's reasonable to assume carriers may be concerned with that.
AT&T's solution seems to be to force customers onto new Mobile Share plans that may or may not be right for them. Considering carriers have already migrated to capped data plans, it would make more sense to allow it only any plan except grandfathered unlimited ones and just charge overages when someone exceeds their limit, Mobile Share plan or not.
If you're currently on AT&T does FaceTime over cellular provide enough incentive for you to switch to a Mobile Share plan or will you just go without?

Ai Group came up with the estimate from 485 surveyed businesses, but the heated debate over the carbon pricing reforms adopted last July may have been behind that result in the November survey.
A survey that shows businesses have estimated a 14.5 per cent jump in energy costs due to the carbon tax underlines why the impost must be scrapped, Tony Abbott says.
The federal opposition leader says the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) survey shows company power price rises are well above the 10 per cent increases the federal government has so far been prepared to concede.
He says the additional cost is an example of how the carbon tax is worsening job uncertainty and elevating the cost of living.
"It just goes to show that if you want to get this economy going again, if you want to make people's jobs more secure, (and) families' cost of living lower, get rid of the carbon tax," Abbott told reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday.
"That will be the first thing that an incoming coalition government does."
Pointing to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showing a smaller 6.7 per cent increase in power prices for the September quarter, the Ai Group report said "the high profile of the carbon tax appears to have led to some over-estimation by business (of its impact)".
The lobby group's report is based on a series of surveys conducted with businesses in the construction, manufacturing and services sectors.
In another survey, 49 per cent of businesses said their energy and other input costs had risen since the July introduction of the tax.
The impact across the economy has been uneven, with 61 per cent of manufacturing businesses, 36 per cent of service businesses and 52 per cent of businesses in the construction industry reporting a rise in costs.
Ai Group chief Innes Willox said food manufacturers were hardest hit and were restricted from passing on the increased costs to consumers due to a host of factors, including competition from imports unaffected by carbon pricing.
"Food manufacturers do not qualify for the trade-exposed industry assistance program and are currently facing substantial resistance to price rises from the major retailers," he said in a statement.
Of those surveyed, he said just 42 per cent intended to increase their prices.
A spokesman for Climate Change Minister Greg Combet said a previous Ai Group study had found most businesses spent just two per cent or less of their total revenue on energy expenses.
"This makes the carbon price impact on total costs an increase of around 0.2 per cent of revenue," the spokesman said.
"The Ai Group report confirms that carbon pricing is a manageable economic and environmental reform.

Google begin testing "multiple profiles" – a Chrome OS feature in Chrome broser's Canary builds and Chromium. Just enter about:flags in the address bar, enable "Multiple profiles" and click "Relaunch browser" at the bottom of the page.
"The multiple profiles feature will allow the user to associate a profile with a specific set of browser windows, rather than with an entire running instance of Chrome. Allowing different windows to run as different Chrome identities means that a user can have different open windows associated with different Google accounts, and correspondingly different sets of preferences, apps, bookmarks, and so on — all those elements which are bound to a specific user's identity. Having multiple profiles in the Chrome browser also makes it easy to browse with separate identities without having to log in as separate users at the operating system level," explains a Google Chrome design document.
The new feature associates each window with a profile and lets you sync some of the settings with a Google account. Until now, you could create new profiles manually, but you had to use special shortcuts for each profile. This feature is now available in the interface, even though it's more limited and you can only identify profiles using Google accounts.
