Red Sox Sign Aaron Cook To Minor League Deal
2012-01-09 17:05:00 As the Boston Red Sox found out during the 2011 season, you can never have enough starting pitching. According to multiple reports, the Red Sox have added some pitching depth by signing former Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook to a minor league deal. Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports that Cook will make $1.5 million if he makes the big league roster. Cook has spent his entire 10 year career as a member of the Rockies. In that time, he was 72-68 with a 4.53 ERA. He was hurt for part of the 2011 season and only made 18 appearances (17 starts). In those 18 appearances (17 starts), Cook was 3-10 with a 6.03 ERA. If Cook can rebound from his injuries, he could be a valuable addition to the Red Sox staff. At the very least, he could probably start the season with the Pawtucket Red Sox and be one of the first callups if an injury were to happen to any of the Red Sox starters.

How to cook Farro
2011-12-30 16:00:00 Besides the Orange and Pecan Salad with Red Onion Dressing, Michelle also prepared another side dish for the South Arm Seniors Kitchen. The seniors had expressed their interest in learning more about grains. Michelle brought a grain called Farro to make a simple side dish. There are other grains which are very similar to farro like emmer, spelt and einkorn. Barley also has similar characteristic as farro and so, you may substitute farro with barley in recipes. Farro can be eaten plain or used in salad and soups.

Cook County Board: Where a Politician Refuses to Say Something Like a Norma
2011-04-27 19:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston You gotta hand it to new Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. Not only has she risen above her goofy name and won a highly important political position, but she's achieved the art of almost saying something that she means. Of course there's another thing you have to hand to her. For a Democrat she's been doing a fair bit of cutting of the Cook County budget. She could do far more, of course, but at least she's doing something. Anyway, back to the "almost saying something she means" thingie......

Is Winnetka Cook County's teardown capital?
2011-04-04 22:52:00 View Winnetka teardowns & new construction in a larger map The current issue of Crain's Chicago Business (subscription required) reports a moderate resurgence of the teardown phenomenon in suburban Cook County. According to the Crain's article, which was based on a recent study published by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, Winnetka earned the "teardown capital" moniker by seeing nearly 8% of its residential parcels redeveloped from 2000 to 2010. Several years ago we linked to another study (no longer online) finding that nearly 10% of Winnetka's housing stock had been torn down and rebuilt between 1996 and 2003. We also suggested that, despite the to-be-expected preservationist lamentations cited in the Crain's article, most of the redevelopment had been relatively...

Is anyone listening to child sexual abuse victims in Cook County?
2010-11-04 20:46:00 The majority of people who call Cook County's child abuse tip line are adults - friends, neighbors, teachers, pastors, counselors. But sometimes those calls are made by someone a lot closer to the abuse - the victims themselves. In this month's investigation of child sexual abuse in Cook County, we noticed a strange trend among calls made by victims of abuse: almost none of them were deemed valid. Out of 84 calls made between 2005 and 2009, only one showed evidence of child sexual abuse. That really made us scratch our heads. What exactly is going on there? More at chicagoreporter.com...

Cook County Board President Election Needs A Desire For Change
2010-10-27 10:26:00 Cook County Board President Election Needs A Desire For Change I happened to catch the three candidates running for Cook County Board President; Roger Keats, Toni Preckwinkle and Thomas Tresser. This race, even more than the upcoming mayoral free-for-all, really intrigues me. It is also extremely important and it is my hope that every single registered voter in the county gets out and casts a vote. Really, it is that important! Preckwinkle's open support for Joseph Berrios has to scare the ever-loving crap out of people. Berrios is the epitome of insider politics and his array of conflicts of interest are legendary.

As I blogged about last year, the jail garden constructed a greenhouse and moved ahead with plans to sell produce grown at the jail garden. Charlie Trotter's and The Publican are two local restaurants that purchased produce grown at the jail garden this year. The bulk of the edible plants grown at the Cook County jail garden were started by detainees from seeds donated by Renee's Garden, who sells culinary herb and vegetable seeds. (use the arrows...

Upper Middle Class Now Seeing Higher Foreclosures in Cook County
2010-08-15 18:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston As the housing bubble began to burst the lower middle class and poor areas of Cook County were immediately hit with mounting foreclosures. But now the upper middle class is seeing a higher rate. This only stands to logic. As the Obama depression widens, as home prices stay in a slump, and as more and more people lose their jobs it makes sense that the upper middle classes are beginning only now to lose their homes at a higher rate than before. After all, these people have been likely living off savings they had that the lower classes and poor didn't have to tide them over. But now those savings are being depleted. That and the... |
