Trembley Enjoys Driver's Seat
Long before he settled into his office at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, Dave Trembley received a distinct reminder that this spring will be unlike any other. "I went to the airport yesterday to pick up my rental," he said Wednesday. "I'm used to getting a little matchbox car." He drove away in a huge Cadillac, one of the many fringe benefits of being manager of the Baltimore Orioles. After spending 20 years as a minor league manager, Trembley finally made it to the big leagues last spring as Baltimore's bullpen coach. Then, on June 18, he became interim manager after the Orioles fired Sam Perlozzo. Trembley had the interim tag removed in August and will begin his first spring training camp as a big league manager Thursday. He spent much of the offseason preparing for the assignment, and already has Day 1 mapped out to the minute.
Wrigley Field would get new neighbors under developer's proposal for ...
A Chicago developer unveiled plans in the city's Wrigleyville neighborhood Wednesday night for a nine-story, mixed-use development with a hotel that would stand virtually eye-to-eye with Wrigley Field.
Representatives for developer Steven Schultz, who owns land across the street from the ballpark at the north end of the block bounded by Clark and Addison Streets and Sheffield Avenue, met with community members and Ald. Tom Tunney to seek support for the project.
Schultz wants to build two nine-story buildings connected by a four or five-story base, with a Hyatt Place hotel on the Clark Street side and residences at Addison and Sheffield. The hotel would have about 135 rooms, and the other building would contain about 150 rental units. There also would be about 100,000 square feet of commercial space on the land, plus a health club and 500 parking spaces.
A fan's perspective.
Two Super Bowls, one in the midst of an ice storm. Five World Series in the '90s with the Braves though I only choose to think of the one in '95. The Democratic National Convention in '88, (actually, I left for Tampa while that circus came to town
but Rob Lowe was here). There was the MLB All Star game in 2000 in which Sammy Sosa launched a shot over the giant scoreboard during the home run contest, (juiced balls? Performance enhancers? Nah
couldn't be). And now the 2008 NHL All Star weekend, which was much awaited and anticipated, has come and gone leaving a plethora of memories. Hossa's goal, Nash's hat trick, the West All Stars erasing a 5-1 deficit, Enstrom playing in the Young Stars game, Kovy's give-n-go goal with Eric Staal, and so much more. But what will probably stick with me the most as I think about the 56th NHL All Star game is the way it was played in the third period, especially the last several minutes.

All the bodies were covered of dark powder so to look black, but were not burnt. Clothes and hair were not damaged or burnt." Samples from the skin of six corpses were analyzed for histology in two independent laboratories. The results revealed no altered elements in the skin and derma and no sign of burns. All samples showed particles of dark color covering the skin, histologically staining for iron. Electron microscope scans showed the presence of phosphorous, iron and magnesium at below the normal level of detection. Analysis of the dark refractive material layered over the skin of one victim showed it contained mainly carbon and oxygen, and lesser amounts of iron, silicon and calcium. Some of these elements are used in particle form as fuel additives to boost the blast of thermobaric bombs or grenades.
Chevron Defends Richmond Refinery Upgrade Project
Why would they go to cheaper, dirtier oil? (Because) price discounts can exceed $5 per barrel, which, for a refinery Chevron's size, could be about $400 million per year," Karras said. He added that those price discounts would not necessarily translate into cheaper prices at the pump. Communities for a Better Environment uncovered the refinery's alleged plan to switch to dirtier oil after looking at the final environmental impact report and finding that "it didn't make sense," Karras said. They then looked at documents submitted to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board and found that the project was similar to one proposed in 2001 in which the refinery applied for a permit to upgrade its refining capacity to be able to refine dirtier oil, Karras alleged.

Malaysia: Citizens Denied a Fair Vote
Freedom of expression, association and assembly Malaysian law and practice allow free campaigning for the ruling coalition while placing severe restraints on the opposition. For instance, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahman Badawi on March 1 was able to hold a rally of 20,000 supporters. But police have repeatedly blocked attempts by opposition parties to hold election rallies by refusing to issue the permits required for any gathering of four or more people. In November 2007, the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih), a loose alliance of almost 70 civil society organizations and several political parties, organized an orderly march and rally by some 40,000 Malaysians. In response, police used excessive force, including tear gas and chemical-laced water on peaceful protesters.
Have You Tried The T?
So now not only do I have to wait for this slow new T line...I have to do a lot of unwanted hiking every day! I'm annoyed that MUNI felt they had to ruin the N-Judah line to make way for the T. It doesn't make sense. Why don't all the trains go to the Caltrain station? Adding one new line while shortening others causes a NET LOSS IN SERVICE! This new line has screwed up my commute and offers nothing to me to balance everything out. It seems like it is MUNI's goal to disappoint riders. Posted By: HelloHex | April 09 2007 at 04:03 PM .
No cable, no problem – until next year
Yes, there are pangs of disappointment and longing for Discovery Channel and TLC from time-to-time, but for what it saves me. I can buy most of the Discovery Channel stuff on DVD for what I save in a month or two.
OTA is not dead and picking the right TV with ATSC built-in is a painless upgrade to the old tube-based models. If you can put up an antenna mast, or even a decent antenna in the attic, show Rogers the door! Ploy or not, if there are enough people enjoying FTA/OTA programmingm, it will not go away.

What to see at SXSW
Word has it the live show is not a straight recreation of the album, and deep down, no matter what type of music is being played, SXSW thrives on the acts that display an element that's not found in their recorded work. (Top alternatives: Jim Bianco at the Parish on March 13; Liam Finn at the Ale House on March14) DeVotchKa (Thursday, March 13, midnight, Cedar Street Courtyard/Friday, March 14, midnight, Antone's) A great band. Yes, scoring "Little Miss Sunshine" got the Denver band's name out in the public a bit more, but the assuredness with which they perform their indie-gypsy-folk rock is simultaneously mesmerizing and soothing. They can make you dance, then spin on a dime and provide the feeling of an hour-long massage just a few minutes before it concludes. "A Mad and Faithful Telling," which Anti- will release March 18, is yet another leap forward in terms of the confidence with which they play and the sonic variety found in the arrangements.
Economic toll may top $100M across state
The total economic cost of the deadly storms that ripped through the state Tuesday night won't be available for some time, but several early estimates offer a glimpse of what's to come. Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee said it expects statewide claims from the storms to reach $100 million, about the same level as when tornadoes rocked West Tennessee and Gallatin in 2006. .
