Pederson Leads Jayhawks During First-Round at Landfall Tradition
Zach Pederson overcame a difficult golf course and rainy conditions at the Landfall Tradition to card a first-round 75 and finish the day tied for 18th place. After a rough start, the Jayhawks finished the day in eighth place with 308 strokes at the Jack Nicklaus Course (par-72, 7084 yards) at the Country Club at Landfall in Wilmington, N.C.
"It pretty much rained all day and when you are playing on a tough course the scores are going to be a little high," said head coach Kit Grove. "We really came on strong during the back-nine today so hopefully we can carry that into tomorrow."
Junior Walt Koelbel finished the strongest of all the Jayhawks, as he birdied his final three holes to card a 77 and finish the day tied for 33rd place. Koelbel is the only Jayhawk to compete in all five tournaments this fall as a part of the team.
Freshman Brad Hopfinger shot a one-under par score of 35 on his back-nine today to finish the day tied for 38th with 78 strokes. Fellow freshman Nate Barbee also carded a 78 in today's first-round action. Sophomore Bobby Knowles rounded out the Jayhawk line-up with an opening-round 80 and is tied for 47th.
Tulsa is currently leading the 12-team event after firing a two-under round of 286. Four of the members of the Tulsa squad rank among the top-15 golfers, including the leading individual Nicholas Geyger, who carded an opening-round 67.
The tournament will continue tomorrow with the second-round of play, followed by the final round on Sunday, Oct. 28. Check kuathletics.com for a complete recap and results following each of the remaining two rounds.

When Julio Urias was born on Aug. 12, 1996, Bill Clinton was in his third year in office, Independence Day had been in theaters for a month and "Macarena" was No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
That was the year that consumer DVDs first hit the shelves in Japan, Atlanta held the Summer Olympic Games and eBay was launched.
What were you doing when you were 16? You probably didn't strike out the side in your professional debut like Urias did Sunday afternoon.
The Mexican teenager struck out six batters -- all swinging -- over three shutout innings in the Class A Great Lakes Loons' 2-1 loss to the Dayton Dragons.
Urias struck out the first three batters he faced and he fanned Robert Ramirez as he worked around a pair of singles in the second inning. He fanned Brent Peterson and Joe Terry in a hitless third frame before turning things over to the bullpen.
"I did a really good job for being only 16 in my first professional outing," the 5-foot-11 southpaw said through teammate Alan Garcia. "I felt pretty good. I was attacking on the first pitch with my fastball and I finished them off using the changeup and slider."
The Dodgers signed the 160-pound left-hander last August, just 11 days after he became eligible on his 16th birthday. The Dodgers purchased his rights from Diablos Rojos del Mexico -- the Mexico City Reds -- of the Mexican League.
As first reported by Baseball America, only part of his undisclosed signing bonus counted against the Dodgers' $2.9 million international cap. According to Baseball America, only around 25 percent of the overall fee to secure his rights -- the portion of the fee that Urias receives -- would count against the team's international pool.
Added to the roster when right-hander Joel Lima was promoted to Double-A Chattanooga and fellow pitcher Ralston Cash was placed on the disabled list, Urias -- who would be a sophomore in high school right now -- turned a lot of heads in his debut.
"[Julio] was extremely effective," Loons manager Razor Shines said. "He pitched three innings, attacked hitters. He looked a lot older than he is. We were very excited to see that from him.
"We should've won the game today. We weren't as efficient as we should have been. We're working on some things, we're working hard and we're going to get better."
He threw 35 of 52 pitches for strikes and held his own against hitters up to six years his senior. The Dragons' 23-year-old second baseman Joe Terry, whom Urias struck out twice, was in first grade when Urias was born. Terry was drafted by the White Sox while Urias was still in elementary school.
"The first couple batters I was feeling nervous, but as the game went on I was feeling more confident with my pitches and I was trying to throw strikes," Urias said.
"Coming to America ... all of the coaches in the organization have taken it step by step. I'm really happy with the organization for giving me the opportunity to pitch in this league."
The average age for Midwest League pitchers this year is almost 22. To put Urias' debut into perspective, no other player in the league was born in 1996, and only two others (Clinton's Victor Sanchez and Lansing's Roberto Osuna) were born in 1995.
The Dodgers could have started Urias off in the Dominican Summer League, which begins Saturday. Failing that, they could have opted to send him to either the Rookie-level Arizona League or to short-season Ogden of the Pioneer League, both of which gets underway three weeks later.
None of the three alternatives would have seemed out of place. In 2012, the average age of pitchers was 19 in the DSL, 20 in the Arizona League and 21 in the Pioneer League.
"My dream is to make it to the big leagues as soon as possible," Urias said. "I don't know what the plan for me is ... but right now I want to stay here and do my job.
"I am really honored to come to the Dodgers. It was my dream to sign with a professional baseball team and the Dodgers had the biggest deal. I'm really happy because Fernando Valenzuela played for the Dodgers and I want to be the next Valenzuela."

HOME / Blog / GitHub as a mechanism for public participation?
By Julienne Chen
Digital participation has become a hot topic in recent years, whereby traditional methods of gathering feedback from the public – Town Halls, workshops and meetings – are increasingly being augmented by online tools.
Maptionnaire (www.maptionnaire.com) is just one of many online engagement platforms that provide a growing suite of digital tools for the public to participate in planning and policy making processes – allowing people to remotely provide feedback, ideas and insights at specific geographic locations, respond to surveys, etc. – information that previously would have exclusively been provided in-person or with pen and paper.
In addition to these built-for-purpose platforms, urban governments around the world are also building up their mobile app infrastructure and social media presence, allowing their constituents to reach them through Facebook, Twitter, public service apps and more. While they have their limitations, these tools allow governments to engage on issues quickly and reach new segments of the population, for instance, younger people or those with busy schedules who cannot attend in-person meetings.
Recently, we've also been hearing references to another approach towards digital participation, one that utilizes existing, if unrelated, online platforms to facilitate engagement in new and unexpected ways. For instance, in January of this year, US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made waves for calling into a Donkey Kong Twitch session to discuss the challenges faced by transgender children and young people. Twitch is a live streaming platform for digital videos, with a core focus on gaming (i.e., you can watch other people play video games in real time) and a daily user base of ~15 million people.[1] While its purpose is not public participation, it provides a way for public officials to (virtually) meet and engage with people where they are.
As the title of this post suggests, however, the platform of interest here is not Twitch, but another online platform called GitHub. GitHub was founded in 2008 in San Francisco as a way for software developers to host, share and collaborate on software code. As such, even though it has more than 30 million registered global users, it's used by a niche audience and generally speaking, a highly educated and technically-oriented audience.
Its core function has little overt overlap with public participation. However, they share some important principles. For one, GitHub is an important player in the open source community, and users can choose to make their software projects available in a public repository – which means their software code is available to others, who can "fork," or take the code and adapt it for their own projects. Users can also submit and track issues with the code, or even contribute by helping to resolve some of those issues, that can then be used and built upon by others. Arguably, this open source ethos is aligned with that of public participation, as it supports collaboration across multiple contributors, and is meant to be transparent and open for others to see and use.
Functionality available in GitHub includes:
Documentation and wikis: written content for users to read and understand more about the project; in public projects, the wikis can be set to allow all users to edit and contribute to the written content
Issue identification and issue tracking: users can identify 'issues' with the repository that need further attention. The issues can be voted on and prioritized. When the issue is resolved, it is marked as 'closed' with a notation of who it was resolved by and when.
Task lists: shows items that are currently being worked on for the project and who is assigned to it
Pull requests: a pull request is essentially a user contribution. When someone proposes making a change to the repository, they can submit a pull request for the change to be accepted and merged into the base branch. They can also request the change be reviewed by others; the change can be publicly discussed and commented on before they are revised and approved.
Commits history: the commits history documents all changes that have been made, including which user submitted the change and which user subsequently approved the change
Forking: users can make a personal copy of the repository that they can then modify, adapt or simply keep.
Other relevant functionality includes the ability to embed interactive maps into the repository; graphs showing repository activity, users and contributors; and the ability for users to subscribe to updates
In this post, I highlight a few examples of how GitHub intersects with public participation, including:
GitHub as a community organizing tool
GitHub as a collaboration tool
GitHub as a dissemination tool
The 996.ICU repository (https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU) is the highest profile example of GitHub being used as a community organizing tool. 996 is shorthand for the 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. working day, 6 days a week (9-9-6) required of many tech workers in China, while ICU stands for "Intensive Care Unit," referring to the emotional and health toll that these working hours pose on them.
As of 3 May 2019, the 996.ICU repository is the second most tracked repository on all of GitHub, having been "starred" by more than 240,000 GitHub users. It does not actually house any software code; rather it's used as a platform to raise awareness and enable collaboration on the topic of labour rights.
For instance, users can contribute to a black list of tech companies that follow the 996 schedule, and a white list of companies that do not. Within the repository, they have also created an Anti-996 software license that prohibits companies that violate labour laws from using the code. This license was developed on GitHub as a living document with multiple collaborators, and made available on the repository for others to adapt and use.
Users are invited to contribute other proposals to further the development of 996.ICU, which can be viewed and added to/edited by others. One such proposal to organize annual or quarterly events has generated 120 comments, and 221 'thumbs up' and 11 'thumbs down' responses.
People can contribute in other ways, with the repository stating, "Please feel free to translate 996.ICU's contents, adjust the format, add some contents or fix grammatical errors."
To date, 563 contributors have created more than 2,700 "commits," or discrete changes to the repository. Users can create a proposal to merge a set of commits into the main repository – a 'pull request' – allowing others to comment and discuss the proposed changes, allowing for an open conversation that can help surface and reconcile different perspectives and points of view.
What works very well is that every change or addition to the repository is documented – people can see who suggested the change or addition; who 'approved' the change or addition; and when it was approved. This creates a chain of accountability and transparency that is often crucial to create trust in participatory processes.
In 2012, Iceland made headlines for being the first country to "crowdsource" their constitution. They did so by creating a very open process, including publishing drafts of the clauses every week and asking the public to read and comment on them.[2]
GitHub was not used in this process, but as collaboration tool, it does provides much of the same functionality, including the ability to publish content for others to discuss, raise issues and propose changes.
Washington, DC has been one of the top cities exploring this functionality. For instance, the DC City Council GitHub page (https://github.com/DCCouncil) actually hosts the city's digital version of its legal code (i.e., the laws and regulations of the city, including public safety, permitting, etc.). Any changes made to the code on GitHub subsequently update digital versions of the DC Code on the city's website and other online sources it is linked to.
This means when Joshua Tauberer, a DC resident, noticed a typo when reviewing the DC Code on the city website, he was able to edit out the typo and submit the edit as a "pull request," or a proposed change to the Code. This edit was subsequently accepted by the Council's lawyer, and all versions of the digital code automatically reflected that change.[3] While not a substantive change, it shows the potential of creating collaborative documents that members of the public can review, discuss and edit in a quick and transparent way.
GitHub is not only a way for users to collaborate on a document or project. It's also an important way for people to share and build upon the broader digital participation movement. It achieves this through providing a platform for people to share the code for open source software, thus allowing it to be used by others.
Why is this relevant? Because several open source e-participation tools have been made available on GitHub. This makes it easier and cheaper for entities that are interested in implementing digital participation. In the past, they would have likely needed to source and procure e-participation software; now, they are able to go to GitHub, and download and customize existing (and free) software for their own purposes.
One compelling example is Consul (http://consulproject.org/), an online participation platform that was developed by the City of Madrid. Its functionality includes allowing citizens to submit and vote on proposals; debate issues; engage in participatory budgeting; and collaborate on legislation. Instead of keeping the software to themselves, the City of Madrid made the code available for free on GitHub, enabling dozens of other cities to adapt and use it for their digital participation activities.
In this post, I explore three different uses of GitHub in the age of digital participation: GitHub as a community organizing tool; GitHub as a collaboration tool; and GitHub as a dissemination tool. Each of these have interesting use cases, and show the potential to: 1) learn from tangential and nascent communities, such as the software development community, and the methods and tools they use to foster participation; and 2) leverage existing platforms to engage with constituents in novel and collaborative ways.
GitHub: Advantages as an engagement platform
Allows for transparent tracking of who is contributing and how; and the chain of approval for those contributions
Allows people to raise very specific, and often action-oriented issues
Allows people to participate in developing and submitting solutions to those issues; and to see when and how issues are resolved
Easy for people to "fork," or copy all of the content to their own repositories, meaning the content and contributions have more distributed and shared ownership and are more likely to be accessible in the long-term
Because of its open nature, it's easy to share and replicate content and tools for other entities who wish to initiate their own engagement activities
Free (for publicly-available repositories)
Barriers to participation are fairly high; relatively little of the population has a GitHub account or knows how to use it; its reputation as a technical platform can be intimidating or discouraging for others – leading to concerns about the digital divide and its further implications
Its key purpose is not public participation – rather, it's a collaboration tool for software development that in some rare, but notable cases, has been appropriated for public participation.
It also signals a trend to try to engage people "where they are." Staying up-to-date on new digital platforms – whether it's Snapchat, Twitch, GitHub or other emerging players – allows entities to engage with diverse audiences in ways that are convenient and meaningful to them. This is essential to address important concerns such as how to make sure that participatory processes are well-utilized and representative of different population segments.
What GitHub does well, and why it's important, is because it shows the potential of digital participation as a general practice. There are multitudes of GitHubs repositories that model an open and transparent process in which multiple users debate, contribute and collaborate on a common project – one that is available to all users, and can be widely shared and distributed for public gain. As an advocate for digital participation, this seems like an important process indeed.

Character Analysis Jem Finch
Jem ages from 10 to 13 over the course of To Kill a Mockingbird, a period of great change in any child's life. Jem is no exception to this rule. Interestingly, the changes he undergoes are seen from the point-of-view of a younger sister, which gives a unique perspective on his growth.
Jem represents the idea of bravery in the novel, and the way that his definition changes over the course of the story is important. The shift that occurs probably has as much to do with age as experience, although the experiences provide a better framework for the reader. When the story begins, Jem's idea of bravery is simply touching the side of the Radley house and then only because "In all his life, Jem had never declined a dare." But as the story progresses, Jem learns about bravery from Atticus facing a mad dog, from Mrs. Dubose's fight with addiction, and from Scout's confrontation with the mob at the jail, among others. And along the way, he grows from a boy who drags his sister along as a co-conspirator to a young gentleman who protects his Scout and tries to help her understand the implications of the events around her.
His own sister finds Jem a genuinely likeable boy, if sometimes capable of "maddening superiority." He very much wants to be like his father, and plans to follow him into law. He idolizes Atticus and would rather risk personal injury than disappoint his father. As he grows older, he begins to do what is right even though his decision may not be popular. For instance, when Dill sneaks into Scout's bedroom after running away from home, Jem can only say, "'You oughta let your mother know where you are'" and makes the difficult decision to involve Atticus. Afterward, he's temporarily exiled by his friends, but he maintains the rightness of his decision without apology.
Like many adolescents, Jem is idealistic. Even after Atticus' long explanation about the intricacies of the Tom Robinson case, Jem is unable to accept the jury's conviction. In fact, he is ready to overhaul the justice system and abolish juries altogether. Wisely, Atticus doesn't try to squelch or minimize Jem's feelings; by respecting his son, Atticus allows Jem to better cope with the tragedy. Still, Jem turns on Scout when she tells him about Miss Gates' racist remarks at the courthouse, shouting, "'I never wanta hear about that courthouse again, ever, ever, you hear me?'" His coping skills are still developing, and his family is the one group that gives him the room that he needs to hone them.
Ironically, Jem, who so strongly identifies with Tom Robinson, is the only person in the story who is left with physical evidence of the whole event. More ironic still is the fact that Jem's injury leaves "His left arm . . . somewhat shorter than the right" just like Tom Robinson's, and Tom Robinson sustained his injury at approximately the same age. That the man responsible for breaking Jem's arm was also responsible for sending Tom to prison (and indirectly, responsible for his death) serves to drive the irony home.
The adult Jean Louise doesn't provide much insight into the adult Jeremy Atticus Finch, but from the fact that the story begins with their disagreement over when various events started, the reader can assume that they maintained a similar relationship into adulthood.
Previous Atticus Finch
Next Dill Harris
By the end of the novel, Scout realizes that
Jem has anger-management issues
she can be a lady and still be true to herself
she can never walk in someone else's shoes
she is ready for Atticus to treat her as an adult

The health benefits of full-spectrum hemp go beyond it being a source of CBD. The array of cannabinoids and other natural constituents found in full-spectrum hemp oil work have been shown in studies to work together in what's referred to as the "entourage effect." Together, these compounds work harmoniously to magnify their therapeutic properties. The complex mix of cannabinoids, essential nutrients, protein, and healthy fats work synergistically to encourage homeostasis and balance in our health.
And without high-quality trials, experts don't know how much is best for a given purpose. The staff at Roth's dispensary told her, "Try some once or twice a day and see what happens." (Half a dropper's worth was a good amount for her.) One thing scientists feel confident about is that CBD is not dangerous. It won't damage vital organs even at doses as high as 5,000 mg a day, Marcu says, and nobody has died from simply overdosing on a cannabis product.
Extracting CBD from the hemp plant is just one part of the process for making CBD hemp oil. Extracted CBD oil is less than palatable. If the consumer's desire is to make CBD oil part of their everyday routine, producers try to make the oil at least a little bit tasty. Also, consumers require a choice when it comes to the product's potency, or the strength of the CBD oil-based product. Producers then need to dilute the raw CBD oil to accommodate their needs.
Considered the most scientific method this is also among the cleanest techniques of extraction. Referred to as sub-critical or super critical CO² method, it uses carbon dioxide under different pressures to extract the medicinal oil. This is among the most expensive techniques of extraction due to use of hi-tech equipment that can be operated by trained personnel only. The advantage of this technique is that the end product is the purest form of CBD oil which is highly potent and free of chlorophyll. However if the heat used during extraction is too high it can damage terpenes in the oil that have therapeutic benefits and provide flavor and essence to the oil strain.
That being said, though, CBD isolate still has a very relevant place in the cannabis market. A lot of people, for instance, use it to concoct their own personal daily CBD remedies – they mix the pure powder with oil, or they add it into their coffee, or they make edibles out of it. Since it comes in an easily-measurable powder, it's a great option for those individuals who are trying to calculate exact personal dosages of CBD medication by the milligram.
"Marijuana and industrial hemp are different varieties of the same plant species, Cannabis sativa L. Marijuana typically contains 3 to 15 percent THC on a dry-weight basis, while industrial hemp contains less than 1 percent (Blade, 1998; Vantreese, 1998). Most developed countries that permit hemp cultivation require use of varieties with less than 0.3 percent THC. However, the two varieties are indistinguishable by appearance. DeMeijer et al. (1992), in a study of 97 Cannabis strains, concluded that short of chemical analysis of the THC content, there was no way to distinguish between marijuana and hemp varieties." http://www.ers.usda.gov/media/328202/ages001eb_1_.pdf
Industrial production of CBD oil is done by combining the cannabinoid rich plant with other compounds like CO², butane, ethanol or olive oil etc., all of which leave their residues in the final product. The most important part of CBD oil extraction is selection of right plant for the extraction of oil. Cost of final product will depend on its potency and purity which is controllable only via oil extraction technique.
Most human studies of CBD have been done on people who have seizures, and the FDA recently approved the first CBD-based drug, Epidiolex, for rare forms of epilepsy. Clinical trials for other conditions are promising, but tiny. In one Brazilian study published in 2011 of people with generalized social anxiety disorder, for example, taking a 600-mg dose of CBD (higher than a typical dose from a tincture) lessened discomfort more than a placebo, but only a dozen people were given the pill.
Now that cultivation of hemp has become legal in some parts of the world there are widespread discussions about how the medicinal properties of CBD oil is curing people of varied illnesses. Since it is derived from hemp which is a strain of cannabis, people had apprehensions about this product but now with widespread media coverage usage has become common in therapy clinics. CBD is one of the many cannabidiols that exist naturally in the Cannabis plant along with THC.There is difference between plants rich in CBD and those rich in THC as the former is called indica-dominant plants while latter is sativas rich plant. While sativas rich plants give an uplifting feeling, the indica rich plants give the body a relaxed feeling that is ideal for people in acute pain.
Supercritical CO2 extraction is also the key to understanding more cannabinoids in cannabis like Cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabicitran (CBT) and how they interact with each other (called the Entourage effect). This can lead to increased understanding of marijuana in the medical field, and will also allow growers to come up with more effective, new and exciting strains.
It probably depends on each individual's preference, but many researchers support the effects of the full spectrum CBD. They say that the full spectrum's healing factors through the "entourage effect" are very useful for the treatment of any of the chronic condition. This is why the full spectrum CBD has to be part of the ingredients, not the isolate non-pure one.
At this point in time we have multiple states selling medical marijuana and other states looking to jump on board where there are other states that seemingly will never be open to the idea of legal cannabis. The decision on cannabidiol isn't getting any easier, and company propaganda isn't helping any. I think it's obvious after talking to people from both sides of the spectrum that this choice is not cut and dry, and instead is something that you, the cannabidiol buyer, has to educate yourself on so you can make a fully informed decision. While there are still choices for you to make, I now hope you have the information and facts to make an educated choice.
So which is better? Hemp derived CBD or Medical marijuana derived CBD? I believe, given the information I have found, that the reasonable and definitive question we should ask is: What are the pros and cons of both options and, most of all, what will be best for me and fit my lifestyle. In addition, legality within the state and country you live must be taken into consideration.
This is regarded as most inexpensive method of extracting CBD oil and is recommended by director of phytochemical research at Bedrocan BV that supplies it to Dutch Health Ministry. CBD oil extracted by this method will contain a healthy dose of Omega rich acids and minimalistic chemical residues in the pure oil. Usually hemp seed oil or olive oil is used as a carrier in these methods as this is the most effective way to extract resin from the plants and flowers. The only drawback is the short shelf life of oil extracted in this manner though it is highly effective when taken orally or applied topically on the skin.
At least one benefit of CBD is well-supported by science: It can be effective in treating children with rare, genetic seizure disorders. Adults, children and even animals with epilepsy have been shown to benefit from the chemical too, the World Health Organization reports. There's also some evidence that CBD can help with anxiety, says Dr. Robert Carson, an assistant professor of neurology and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University who focuses on children with epilepsy. "In children, especially those with autism spectrum disorders, this may manifest as improved interactions with others," he says. Other preliminary research shows CBD holds promise for conditions including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, psychosis and Parkinson's disease – and is pretty much impossible to abuse or become addicted to, WHO says.
These studies conclude that "the higher efficiency of plant extract can be explained by additive or synergistic interactions between CBD, terpenes, and the minor phytocannabinoids or non-cannabinoids presented in the extracts. …because other phytocannabinoids, including Tetrahydrocannabivarin, Cannabigerol and Cannabichromene, as well as mono- and sesquiterpenes, exert additional effects of therapeutic interest and the therapeutic synergy observed with plant extracts results in the requirement for a lower amount of active components, with consequent reduced adverse effects."
Full spectrum (or "whole plant") products contain CBD as well as terpenes and other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN and trace amounts of THC. Usually these will be in ratios that were naturally-occurring and extracted from the plant and specific strain. Terpenes and cannabinoids are occasionally added back into products as an isolated form to raise the potency of the product.
CBD oil is not legal everywhere. It is banned/restricted by countries such as UAE, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia. Although CBD oil is illegal in many of the US states too, some have legalized its use for medicinal purposes. While the number would be ever-changing, as of 2016 there are 17 states in the US which have legalized the use of low THC, high CBD products for medical reasons in limited situations. These states include Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. It is advisable to consult your local health specialist before use.
CBD has proven neuroprotective effects and its anti-cancer properties are being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere. A 2010 brain cancer study by California scientists found that CBD "enhances the inhibitory effects of THC on human glioblastoma cell proliferation and survival." This means that CBD makes THC even more potent as an anticancer substance. Also in 2010, German researchers reported that CBD stimulates neurogenesis, the growth of new brain cells, in adult mammals.

On a molecular level, all classes of cannabinoid are derived from the cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG). Cannabinoids are changed from their original acid forms by decarboxylation through heat, light, or alkaline conditions, allowing them to interact fully with the endocannabinoid system.

So, many of CBD's popularized benefits aren't well-proven. But are there any harms in trying CBD-containing products? In a word, yes. While any reported side effects from CBD alone are minor (think dry mouth and dizziness), they can be serious if the CBD products interact with other medications, experts say. Since CBD is metabolized by the same enzyme in the liver that metabolizes many conventional medicines and supplements, the chemical can cause the levels of other drugs in the system to rise; in some cases – like for those taking a drug to prevent their bodies from rejecting a donor organ – to a deadly level, Tishler says.

By connecting inventory, lift truck operators and trailers with managers in real-time optimization and efficiency of a warehouse is enabled to reach next level. Everything in a warehouse is interconnected what enables managers to use predictive analytics, do decisions immediately, save the time needed for decision making and communication.
Most warehouses of today are still using barcodes and RFID tracking solutions which are not real-time and require a lot of manual work like reading tags, searching for inventory. This is going to change. Thanks to our location platform we know in real-time where inventory, lift trucks and trailers are with 100% accuracy, using our +/- 5cm location tracking. On top of that, we can do this with costs comparable with currently deployed RFID tracking systems.
Smart lift trucks know what they do and know what they are supposed to do next. Fitted with tablets, they tell operators if a correct item was picked up and where the next item is located, including optimum routing. If drivers do any mistake, smart lift trucks know about it and alert drivers. Managers, on the other hand, can see performance analytics for each lift truck operator. This technology can decrease the number of lift trucks needed by more than 15%.
Being able to use predictive analytics is a cornerstone of any efficient planning. As an example, knowing a performance of your lift truck drivers and predicting future occupancy of your warehouse you might decide that instead of 10 previously planned lift truck operators for tomorrow, you would only need 8. This is because now, you know that 8 over-performing operators are available for that day.
Misplaced inventory is a big deal in large warehouses. Finding out where the inventory is, costs lot of time and money. WMS and RFID know where inventory is supposed to be but not where it really is. This is where Locatible comes in. Now, you can see any inventory, lift truck or trailer item in real-time on a live map and see all the necessary analytical data needed to plan and recognize bottlenecks in your material flow.
And the best of all mentioned above is that all of this is available right now for your warehousing company. We have many installations and pilots scheduled with large warehousing companies in 2017 and we are looking forward to doing our part in bringing innovation to warehousing and supply chain in 2017.


English 'Romantic' painter, printmaker, and poet William Blake (1757-1827) was a radical visionary. He expressed his mystical views through paintings, engravings, and poetry. Blake was never inclined to represent the materialistic things around him. The concept of his work was driven by religious visions. Blake's unusual capability to capture and portray a theme from just his imagination shows his sheer brilliance as an artist. One of his most amazing paintings was a relief called "The Ancient of Days," created in 1794.
This print of 23 cm x 17 cm (9″ x 7″) in size was made from a copperplate engraving. "The Ancient of Days" was actually a cover illustration for his book of poems 'Europe, a Prophecy,' which Blake published in 1794. William Blake claimed to have created this alluring image based on a vision he had over a staircase while he was living in Lambeth. It may not seem that there is an obvious connection between the print and its title, however, its a known fact that in his prophecies, Prophet Daniel referred to God as "The ancient of Days." Blake made the print with intricate detail and hand painted it using deep vibrant watercolors.
The image features an old but strong looking man sitting on one knee in a sphere bending down. The bright coloring of the sphere makes it seem like the sun surrounded by a dark cloudy sky depicted in maroons and browns. The man has long white hair and a white beard. He is stretching to bend downwards outside the sphere holding a huge compass in his left hand, as if taking a measurement. William Blake was termed eccentric, for he rejected all the conventional norms of religion and formed his own beliefs. He often conveyed his ideology through his works. "The Ancient of Days" is one such illustration where Blake portrays 'Urizen' (a name he had given to the creator of the universe in his writings). This magnificent illuminated print is proof of Blake's inventive creative genius and skillful artistry.
"The Ancient of Days" was a personal favorite of Blake's. It is currently housed at the British Museum in London. His innovative artwork may not have been well received during his lifetime, but today they are considered great masterpieces. William Blake's artwork is deemed unique and critics have tagged him as one of the greatest artists Britain produced.

WINDY CITY TIMES
AIDS: Spreading the truth, HIV-themed films that broke new ground
by David-Elijah Nahmod
An Early Frost ( 1985 )
Director: John Erman.
Teleplay by Daniel Lipman and Ron Cowen, based on a story by Sherman Yellen.
100 minutes. DVD distributor: Wolfe Video
The AIDS epidemic was raging in 1985. People were dying at rates that were unimaginable. When they looked back years later, survivors spoke of losing friends, sometime every single one of them, in the space of a few years. In the "gay ghettos" of major cities, it was not unusual to see scores of emaciated young people preparing for death. President Ronald Reagan wouldn't even say the word—AIDS. Televangelists screamed of "God's wrath." ACT UP—the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power—took to the streets and demanded proper care for the sick, among other things.
In the midst of all this tragedy, NBC green-lighted An Early Frost, the first major film that attempted to deal with the realities of living with, and dying of AIDS complications.
Aidan Quinn played Michael Pierson, a successful lawyer who's come home to die. Both Michael and his parents ( Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara ) had to deal with a double coming out. "So you're a homosexual," says Dad. "And you have this disease."
For gay men in the trenches, it was the first time they had ever seen any attempt to honestly convey what they were going through. An Early Frost wasn't perfect. It was set in an upscale, single-race universe that couldn't possibly reflect everyone who saw it. But it was an admirable effort, and it opened doors. It was the most viewed television attraction in the country the night it premiered, garnering a 23.3 ratings share.
The film was infuriating, albeit for all the right reasons. One of the issues Michael has to deal with is his own sister, who avoids him and doesn't want him touching her baby, out of a false fear that her child will contract the disease. It could also be uplifting. When Michael has a seizure, he's denied ambulance service, again due to unfounded fears of contracting the disease. Dad looks at his son's convulsions, and puts his homophobia aside. He takes Michael into his arms, puts him in the family car, and rushes him to the hospital.
An Early Frost could also be heartbreaking, as when Michael is reunited with his partner ( D.W. Moffett ) who may or may not have given him the virus. Their love for each other is undeniable.
Prior to An Early Frost, AIDS was ignored by the entertainment industry. After it aired, AIDS became part of our lore. Numerous sitcoms, and even a daytime drama, As the World Turns, introduced story lines that dealt with HIV. Other TV films, and the Oscar-winning Philadelphia ( 1993 ) followed. But it all began with An Early Frost.
Longtime Companion ( 1989 )
Director: Norman Rene.
Writer: Craig Lucas.
96 minutes. DVD distributor: MGM.
At the 1990 Oscar telecast ( three years before Tom Hanks won his first Oscar for Philadelphia ) , viewers were treated to a scene from Norman Rene's Longtime Companion that perhaps they weren't ready for. As Sean ( Mark Lamos ) breathes his last few breaths, he's told that it's safe to go by David ( Oscar-nominee Bruce Davison ) his "longtime companion," the term used by The New York Times to refer to gay couples in its obituary section. "You can go now," David says gently, as he holds Sean's hand. "Let go … . " The very next scene in the film cuts to a memorial service. But it's not Sean's service, it's David's, sometime later.
As Longtime Companion begins, it's 1981, the day The New York Times first reported a strange cluster of deaths among gay men. As Blondie's "The Tide is High" blares on the soundtrack, gay men play on Fire Island. There are nine major characters, all but one of them are gay men. When the story ends, nearly a decade later, only three are left.
Over the course of the film's 96 minutes, the AIDS virus swoops down on a circle of friends and wipes them out, one by one. Few films have ever captured the horrifying realities of what it was like to be young and gay during the epidemic's peak. Haunting, chilling, and unforgettable, Longtime Companion spells it out in a no-holds-barred manner that shocked people. The truth is never pretty.
This film was one of the first time that cinema acknowledged, albeit briefly, that not all HIV victims were white. In a particularly tense scene, lead character Willy ( Campbell Scott ) goes to visit the buddy he's assigned to by the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City. He shows up to help Alberto, a young, ill and angry Puerto Rican man, take care of household errands. Alberto was played by actor Michael Carmine, who died at age 30, three days after the film was released,
Longtime Companion was Norman Rene's first theatrical film as a director. It was also the peak of his career. After making two more films, he succumbed to AIDS in 1996. He was 45 years old.
The Living End ( 1992 )
Director, Writer: Gregg Araki.
DVD distributor: Strand Releasing.
In 1992, writer B. Ruby Rich coined the phrase New Queer Cinema in Sight and Sound Magazine. The phrase was meant to define "queer-themed independent cinema" from the 1990s onward. The films in question were definitely not of the cookie-cutter variety. Gregg Araki's The Living End, a daring, politically incorrect thriller like no other, quickly became one of this new genre's defining titles.
Shot for a paltry $22,769, Living End is a road movie about two HIV-positive men. One of them is Luke, an aimless drifter and hustler who kills a homophobic police officer with a gun he loves to wave around. The other is Jon, a disillusioned movie critic who makes 25 cents a word. Feeling like they have nothing to live for, they go on a road trip, on which Luke's fondness for identity theft, breaking into ATM's and threatening people causes them more trouble then Jon can deal with.
Araki pulls no punches. The director completely ignores the rules of political correctness that had by then taken over the gay-rights movement. At one point, Luke is himself nearly killed by a psychotic lesbian couple, but he steals their car and escapes. In another scene that's played for laughs, a woman shoots her bisexual boyfriend when she catches him in bed with Luke. This is a mean-spirited film that wasn't meant to be viewed by polite society.
It's an angry film that works. By the time The Living End was released, millions had died of AIDS around the world. People were furious at the lack of government help. Like no other film before or since, The Living End captured the rage of a dying generation.
Zero Patience ( 1993 )
Director, writer John Greyson.
100 minutes.
Shortly after his death from AIDS, French Canadian flight attendant Gaetan Dugas ( 1953-1984 ) achieved notoriety as "Patient Zero," the man who allegedly introduced the HIV virus into the Western World's gay male community. A 1984 article in The American Journal of Medicine traced the first cluster of HIV infections in New York to an unnamed flight attendant who brought the virus over from his many sexual encounters in Africa and Europe. Dugas was named in Randy Shilts's book And The Band Played On ( 1987 ) . Shilts chronicled the history of HIV's spread across the Western world, and portrayed Dugas as a sexual sociopath who delighted in infecting others. Shilts further alleged that Dugas called himself "the prettiest one."
Scientific study has since proven the Patient Zero theory to be false. No one is sure when or how the HIV virus came to the U.S., but there are now documented cases of isolated AIDS deaths which date back to the 1960s, including that of a 16-year-old boy named Robert. Robert's death in 1969 baffled doctors. In 1984, the same year Dugas died, Robert's frozen blood samples tested positive for HIV.
With Zero Patience, openly gay director John Greyson attempts to exonerate Dugas, in the format of a musical comedy. Zero Patience is a strange film indeed: it chronicles a love affair between Dugas' ghost and Sir Richard Burton, the 19th century explorer who shocked Victorian society with his writings on the sexual habits of the various countries and cultures he visited. Burton was believed to be an experienced bisexual.
In Greyson's film, Burton still lives in 1990s Toronto after an encounter with the Fountain of Youth. As he prepares a museum exhibit on world epidemics over the years, he brings "Zero," an unnamed Dugas, back from the dead. This strange film features, among other things, a pair of singing rear ends, and a splashy musical number featuring colorful viruses. Yet the basic real-life facts offered by Greyson are sound ones. While Dugas was without question part of the first cluster of AIDS cases, which made headlines around the world, he couldn't have single-handedly introduced the virus into the general population. In a scene set at an ACT UP meeting, Greyson suggests that in 1982, Dugas actually cooperated with researchers who were trying to pinpoint the cause of the disease.
Alternating between funny, bizarre and thought-provoking, Zero Patience is another example of a gay filmmaker who is unafraid to throw caution to the wind and speak his truth.
3 Needles ( 2005 )
Director, writer: Thom Fitzgerald.
DVD distributor: Wolfe Video.
At last, a film which unequivocally states what AIDS activists have been shouting from the rooftops: AIDS is not a gay disease. Anyone can get it. Canadian auteur Fitzgerald offers an impressive low-budget film set on different continents and featuring a cast of major players. The cast includes Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis, Lucy Liu, Stockard Channing, Sandra Oh, and X Men heartthrob Shawn Ashmore.
The film presents three seemingly unconnected stories. In rural China, the entire population of a village becomes infected when they donate blood on tainted equipment. In a small African Village, HIV is spread through dirty needles. In Toronto, a straight porn star ( Ashmore ) fakes his own blood tests and infects seven co-workers. In order to provide for her son, his Mom deliberately injects tainted blood into herself so she can collect on an insurance policy.
Many characters become infected during the course of the film's two hours, and most of them die. All of them are poor people struggling to survive. Not one of them is gay. Only a handful of them are white. Many of them are women.
3 Needles is a dark and depressing film that's difficult to sit through at times. It's doomsday scenario is relentless, yet it's must-see viewing. In a world where anti-gay religious leaders continue to play the gay blame game, here's a film that shows us what's really been happening worldwide for decades. Particularly impressive is how polished and expensive the film looks: Fitzgerald shot it for $2 million. It was barely released Stateside.
See this important work now, and share it with friends.
Pedro ( 2008 )
Director: Nick Oceano.
Writers: Dustin Lance Black, Paris Barclay.
There's no question that Pedro Zamora was put in this world for a purpose. This beautiful young man, raised in Miami's Cuban refugee community, contracted HIV when he was 17 years old. Four years later, as his T-cell count plummeted, he was cast in the MTV reality series The Real World: San Francisco. In full view of millions of viewers, Pedro sparred with a homophobic roommate, fell in love, married his partner Sean, and educated people about AIDS. His star burned brightly, but briefly. As his Real World episodes began airing, Zamora lapsed into his final AIDS-related illness. He died on Nov. 11, 1994, the day after his last episode aired.
Screenwriters Paris Barclay and Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black ( Milk ) weave an unforgettable portrait of courage. They don't sugar-coat anything: the ugly homophobia, and racism, of Real World roommate Puck ( Matt Barr ) is dealt with frankly—Puck was voted out of the house by the housemates. The tender love story between Pedro and Sean ( Dajuan Johnson ) is sweet, touching, and profound. In 1993, one didn't normally see gay weddings on the tube, much less one that was mixed race. Pedro the film is quite a tearjerker: when Pedro's homophobic Dad watches his son marry Sean on TV, the elder Zamora's eyes well up with tears. No doubt viewers of Real World—and movie watchers—were crying with him.
The film also shows the deep friendship that developed between Pedro and Real World roommate Judd Winnick ( Hale Appelman ) , a straight man who spreads Pedro's message and legacy to this very day.
Alex Loynas is superb in the title role. He gives life to a beautiful, long-departed young man who was in a hurry. Pedro Zamora danced as fast as he could. He accomplished far more in his 22 years than most people could in a century.
Wolfe Video's DVD of Pedro offers three of Zamora's Real World episodes.

Innovation policy as output is analysed by ordered logit regressions and set-theoretic analyses under neo-positivist policy analysis approach for the case of generic R&I commodities in the EU-28 for the period 2011-2013. The following factors are revealed as positive determinants of effective R&I policy: positive standalone or interactive role for informal coordination among ministerial institutions, societal interest group consultations, paradigmatic/programmatic ideas applied by sustainability impact assessments and media attention. Innovation policy as a process is analysed by comparative case study and evaluative method within a critical-rationalist policy analysis approach for the case of renewable energy technology, solar PV in the EU/Germany and China/Jiangsu during the last decade. Findings indicate that the politics of purpose (sustainability-oriented development vs. export-oriented development) shapes institutional intelligence throughout three activities: i) identifying the types of barriers to innovation (paradigmatic/programmatic ideas), ii) mixing of demand/supply-side policies (interests) and iii) policy coordination (institutional access to/of ideas/interests). Unforeseen meso or macro-crises (e.g. increase in silicon prices, int'l trade disputes) reintroduce the need for a better policy and institutional intelligence by reexamining the politics of purpose within a global context. Innovation policy as structuration is analysed by exploratory descriptive statistics collected by organic photovoltaics global questionnaire, and by investigatory method using media content under forensic policy analysis approach for the case of emerging energy technology, Organic Solar PV in Northern America, Western Europe, and East Asia. Findings indicate that the interests and ideas of OPV researchers in different world regions reflect institutional archetype characteristics of varieties of capitalism under which they operate. It is also believed that the combination of positive elements of these three world regions could foster the development and commercialisation of OPV technology. Innovation policy as organisation is analysed by case study collection and argumentative method for the case of social innovation in the metropolitan areas of the EU. Findings indicate that different innovation systems' actors (interests) are invited by institutions in the EU to tackle with societal challenges (ideas) that none of which could address them alone. Emerging inter-systemic interactions among different types of innovation systems on this new ideational content can be argued as constructing a new context, a societal kind of innovation system where nodes are the interactions between ideas and interests, and links are the institutions that bring them together.

Female directors only account for 3% of all the movies that have been made. Their work has often consequently been overlooked or downplayed in many official film histories. Yet a close scrutiny of the history of cinema reveals that women — from the silent era through today, in every national cinema around the world — have not only been present in all of the major historical movements but have been responsible for making significant contributions to them.
This talk will highlight the work of female directors from Germany in the Weimar era (Leontine Sagan's Madchen in Uniform), classic Hollywood cinema (Dorothy Arzner's Dance, Girl, Dance), independent American film (Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker), the French New Wave (Agnes Varda's Cleo from 5 to 7), the Danish "Dogme 95" movement (Lone Scherfig's Italian for Beginners) and more.

Here's part two of my top 100 films of the half-decade list. Don't forget to let me know how many titles you've seen in the comments section below for a chance to win dinner and a movie on me and/or a copy of my book Flickering Empire.
Okay, if Pitchfork can do it with albums, I can do it with movies. Now that the decade is half over, I will be posting a countdown of my top 100 favorite films (in order of preference) that received their world premieres between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014. The list will be spread across four blog posts. I will be posting 25 titles per day, each accompanied by an image, over the course of the next four days — culminating in my posting capsule reviews of the top 25 movies on Tuesday.
This is also White City Cinema's first official contest. Here's how it works: you count up the number of films you've seen and post that number as a response to each of the four lists. On Monday, I will calculate who's seen the most movies out of the top 100. The person who comes in first wins both a copy of my book Flickering Empire: How Chicago Invented the U.S. Film Industry as well as dinner and a film on me (airfare to Chicago not included). The first runner-up will also receive a copy of Flickering Empire. Good luck!

Covington, Georgia, pilots controversial program to revitalize its suburbs
Friday, Jan 23, 2015 Amanda Gold
Tweet on Twitter Share on Facebook Email this article
Originally approved in 2003 and planned to have 249 homes on large lots, the Walker's Bend subdivision in Covington, Georgia stalled in 2007. With 79 homes built and only 50 sold, Developer Timber went bankrupt and left behind 160 empty lots and abandoned homes. Shortly thereafter, home values fell and crime rates increased. City planning director Randy Vinson has implemented a controversial plan to save Walker's Bend, and the city of Covington will be the master developer. Successes of Covington's plan
Renovation of existing homes: in a 4-2 vote, the city council approved the purchase of the empty lots and partnered with Habitat for Humanity to renovate eight townhouses that had fallen into disrepair.
Elimination of vacant lots
Provision of affordable housing: for low income residents, the city constructed 32 single-family homes and built a three-story apartment building with an additional 28 units. Next door, the city constructed a 26-unit apartment building for people with disabilities.
Budgetary Success: by the time Walker's Bend is completed, the city expects to have made a profit of about $500,000.
Community criticism
Existing residents are disgruntled by the influx of low-income residents.
Some community members have complained that low-income residents are responsible for increased crime in the area. NHC was unable to find data to show crime trends over the past ten years.
Some residents also complain about the increase in residential density because of the apartment construction.
However, the city's plan isn't limited to low-income housing. Market-rate homeownership units are planned along with other projects, but the lengthy process of acquiring funding has slowed construction.
Policy implications
Walker's Bend provides an example of when a long-term strategy is necessary for neighborhood recovery, as well as how a distressed suburban neighborhood can provide an opportunity to create a number of other positive changes like inclusionary housing policy, a mixed income neighborhood and a more sustainable development pattern.
Walker's Bend also reveals some of the implementation struggles that a long-term strategy can face. Specifically this case shows that changing the development plan for an existing neighborhood, originally designed as market rate single family detached units to be a denser mixed income neighborhood, incurred neighborhood concern and community disapproval.
Did expectations about what the neighborhood was supposed to look like exacerbate community backlash?
Can inclusionary neighborhoods be a successful way to stabilize suburban neighborhoods?
Can local government play a master developer role like Covington?
What kinds of community engagement strategies could be deployed to build support for these changes? NHC's Communications HUB can be a resource for communities looking for messaging strategies for dealing with a changing neighborhood like Walker's Bend.
Cities across America are grappling with the challenge posed by distressed suburban communities in the wake of the housing crisis. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, policy leaders and those in community development would do well to consider the lessons learned in Covington.

A new form of digital asset like Bitcoin is a very bad sign for the Global banking system, according to the Basel Committee.
The banking supervision forum has stated that cryptocurrencies and crypto assets have become popular despite their exposure to high volatility and risk throughout the years.
According to the committee, this new financial instrument is still immature and even then, it still presents a lot of risk to the global banking system.
Throughout the years, it has brought threats to liquidity, markets, credits, banking operations, money laundering, terrorist financing, along with some legal and reputable risks.
This notice coming from the Basil Committee comes at a time when the growth of cryptocurrency speculation has brought a lot controversy around the Blockchain industry.
Major bitcoin activists have put the digital currency technology as a messiah against the corrupt banking system as the banking systems belief a decentralized asset technology would distribute wealth more evenly and more openly than the regular banking system. Which is currently creating money just by printing it with the backing by "faith".
This belief has brought the global financial and banking system nothing but problems, suffering and has continuously torn down societies and cultures across the world.
Also, this has led many to embark on the crypto-enabled financial wave for years sparking a revolution which is in flames. This evolving protest is aiming to replace the global financial reserve system, the Fiat dollars (EURO,US YEN etc.) with an asset whose supply is limited and backed by Math and methodology.
The goal is to make more people join such a demonstration, as such, they will eventually dump the government-issued money for a mathematically-born scare asset. This will automatically lead to the devaluation of the established financial system.
However, despite this global anti-establishment stance, most people involved in cryptocurrencies are speculators trying to maximize profits off crypto investments.
Nonetheless, the lack of regulation and excessive price volatility in crypto asset markets have been posing a risk to banks that do business with these nascent markets.
According to the Basel committee, they are monitoring the developments in crypto assets, including direct and indirect exposure to banks in order to clarify how this technology will protect the banking system from its own high risks.
The committee suggests that banks conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crypto-related risks and banks should employ a clear and robust risk management framework that will protect them from crypto asset exposure and related services when things really start heating up.

Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities
Saturday 26 May 2018, 11.30am Venue: Tata Tent

Standing as the gateway between East and West, it has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was known simply as The City, but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city, but a story. Chaired by Sameer Rahim of Prospect magazine.

and the slow-playing of injuries...and Luhnow's unwillingness to make a minor trade or two for backup major league talent
Phrasing
didn't have a chance to watch - but saw the stat sheet that Altuve went 0-4. How did he look physically out there?
Frok said:
Yes there is? We are playing with AAA players. Calm down
agcat
Altuve back and picking up right where he left off at the plate.
Altuve now at .236 on the year
cannot even believe this comment got a star.
In reply to Ags #1 • 3:02p, 6/19/19
Ags #1 said:
Yep. Still winless since he returned from injury.
Kashchei
I'm not worried about our division, but home field in the playoffs is pretty ****ing important.
In reply to Kashchei • 3:16p, 6/19/19
Kashchei said:
This year it is since we may end up having to play in MIN in late October.
And we know how we fare there when it's cold.
Ouch on the $151M, 5 year contract extension he signed just a year ago.
Not worried about his BA or contract at this point as we all know he can go on a tear at any time. Just stating what his BA is currently.
Bonfired
Tough series to get swept in when you had your 1-2 starters going, but, **** happens, and happened. Focusing on the big picture here...but damn, losing this one stung a little more because we actually had a lead to protect.
Four Ls in a row to bottom feeders. Butt ugly.
7 more games in NL parks...I think our already hamstrung lineup was hurt even more in this series by losing a bat. If we're fully healthy, that will matter less.
Seasons over. Tear it down and start the rebuild.
Keeper of The Spirits
On pace to win 102/103
The Twins will cool down the stretch while we and the Yanks should expect to pick up our pace.
It could be a tight race but we have over performed with 3 all star out. Altuve will return to form. Springer will be back for the Mariners series
In reply to Keeper of The Spirits • 5:08p, 6/19/19
Keeper of The Spirits said:
Username checks out in the best way possible.
Are people never allowed to voice concerns/complaints over a loss, or string of losses?
regarding Tucker...is the plan for him to stay in AAA all season?
with so many hitters slumping or trending majorly in the wrong direction
and Altuve...he played in his 40th game today. Currently 35 of 148 for a .236 batting average.
if he plays in 80 more games this season...and figuring 4 AB's per game...
he'll need to hit .328 the rest of the way to finish with a .300 season batting average.
that is certainily possible. Obviously he needs to go on a long hot streak to get there
Give him a first baseman's mitt
Tucker was awful last year. He blew his opportunity. I don't see him getting any consistent at bats with us this year. So many guys called up this year because of all the injuries at one time and Tucker wasn't one of them and hopefully the roster gets healthier from here.
irish pete ag06
White and Kemp to Toronto for Biggio jr and Vlad Jr
In reply to irish pete ag06 • 5:39p, 6/19/19
irish pete ag06 said:
White and Kemp to Angles for Trout & Ohtani.
Who said that? I'm just voicing my opinion.
If that's the plan, then it's a stupid ****ing plan.
He's had a fun 162 in AAA as of a few days ago.
Yeah, no one believes you.
You wound me, sir.
I wouldn't call it a hot streak, just bat the same as he has the last 4-5 years.
RealTalk
Everybody was expecting these Triple A guys to come back down to earth. Too bad it was against the crappy ass Reds.
Silent For Too Long
Sure, you are allowed to. We are also allowed to needle you for being over reactionary nancies.
This team is going to lose 50 to 60 games this year, which is fantastic. Some of those losses are going to be strung together, particularly when some of our best players are still on the mend.
Its disappointing, for sure, but takes like "Lunhow should have done something " are just asinine and show the people favoring that take know nothing about baseball.
In reply to Silent For Too Long • 10:47p, 6/19/19
Lol. It's the extreme mood swings both ways like a women on her cycle that people don't want to hear. Good or bad. Or being a smart arse
There's just no room for him.
Seriously how do you bring him up where he isn't riding pine? Especially now with Yordan having success as a DH.
You aren't sending Jake down, you aren't sitting Brantley, he's not taking Reddick's spot, Kemp needs to be here to play 2nd, Jack needs to be here to play SS.
Maybe him instead of Straw but he still ends up getting minimal ABs,
At some point this year you have to ditch either White, Kemp, or Mayfield to get Tucker another chance. You can't leave someone like that at AAA. Luhnow needs to figure it out.
