The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
This is probably no more than a formality for 2009, but might as well go through the motions. Last year our wonderful readers voted Geovany Soto as the Cubs 2008 MVP, so let's see who we come up with this year (attempts to build suspense). You can vote in the post above, leave comments on this post though.
Your offensive candidates:
Derrek Lee and...(shuffles papers, clicks on Fangraphs and Baseball Prospectus)...I got nothing. Let's put Koyie Hill just for laughs and because he saved this season according to Hendry.
|Team Record when starting
|League OPS @ Position
For what it's worth, Lee led the Cubs in home runs, RBI's, runs scored, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging (for qualified hitters) and was second in doubles (to Fukudome) and hits (to Theriot). Koyie Hill has a mangled hand, caught 29 straight games and threw out 40% of would be basestealers.
Let's throw in some pitchers for fun:
The team MVP is pretty obvious, but the teams' pitcher of the year is a little more open to the discussion. I'm not even including Zambrano in the poll. I think it comes down to the Ted Lilly or Randy Wells, although if Ryan Dempster isn't dealing with his family problems, I would venture a solid guess that he would have had the best season. But let's deal in reality instead of theory. 12 innings more for Lilly isn't much of a difference, the W-L records are about the same and the ERA's are pretty much the same. Wells stepped up big and cost a lot less than Lilly, so to put the value in valuable, I'll give Wells the nod.
LVP Candidates
Kevin Gregg, Aarron Miles, Milton Bradley, Alfonso Soriano, Mike Fontenot, Geovany Soto
|League OPS at Position
and Kevin Gregg...
5-6, 4.72 ERA, 23 S, 7 BS (1 after he was removed from closing duties), 13 HR, 68.2 IP, -0.3 WAR, 1.2 WARP-1, -0.78 WPA,
That looks like a three horse race to me between Miles, Soriano and Kevin Gregg. Bradley underperforming jack-ass and all, still put up league average numbers at his position. Man, this is tough...I got good reasons to vote for anyone of those three.
Soriano - when you get paid like a superstar, you just can't put up sub-replacement level numbers...you just can't do it. Throw in his scatter-brain defense (11 incredible errors in LF), and refusal to be up front about his injury and then remember he has 5 years left on his deal. How does that make you feel about the Cubs future?
Gregg - If you looked at his numbers on July 30th, you'd come away impressed...3.35 ERA and just 3 blown saves. But his August was one for the history books, blew a Marlins game that the Cubs came back and won, then blew another one in Florida, took the loss in extra innings against Philly and then giving up 4 runs in a 1-0 game at San Diego.
Miles - I can't tell you how impressed I am that he accumulated a negative WARP-1 and WAR value in 170 PA's. He has surpassed Neifi! in TCR folklore as the representation of everything that is wrong with the Cubs.
And I still can't decide...but I think I'm going Soriano. As the second highest paid player on the team(he'll be first going forward for the next 5 years, wrap your head around that), the expectations are rightfully high. He disappointed like no other, driving in just 12.7% of the runners on base in front of him, and more interested in playing it up with the fans, then working on his defense. If the knee was the problem, that's fine, hope he heals up well, but he did his team a huge disservice trying to play through it instead of taking a DL stint. If it wasn't the knee, the Cubs are gonna be the proud owners of the worst contract in baseball.
Comment below, vote on the post above....
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
soriano was a flaming POS this year.
he doesn't change..he doesn't listen to coaches..but he waves to the OF bleachers and smiles a lot. i'd like to have a beer with that guy!
well, flaming POS is harsh, but his "swing hard at the front of the box" days seem be catching up to his body/skill decline. he's still got his power swing, but he was late on so much stuff in the box. out in the field his casual play is getting embarrassing.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Not trying to defend Soriano, but it seems pretty clear that he wasn't 100 percent physically. I don't think we can expect more than his '07-'08 seasons at this point, but I think he'll be better next year than he was this year.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Chris De Luca at the Sun-Times claims the Cubs and Rays are trying to work out a Milton Bradley for Pat Burrell deal.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
I suppose he could sit with the visitors' bullpen.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
'De Luca says the Cubs are pushing the Rays for a "quick resolution."'
I thought the Cubs respected the don't upstage the post season rule, or was that just McPhail?
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
That's great.
I had wanted them to sign Burrell on a one-year deal anyway.
Isn't he an old Jake Fox? With similar defensive "prowess"?
Actually - I have said this before here several times - Jake is Matt Stairs II.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Dave Kaplan has a chat with Bill James on his blog. Unfortunately, I can't get the mp3 file to open. If anyone else any luck, could you let us know if it's worth listening to?
Here's the link: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kaplan-chica...
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Well, Bill James said one thing that won't be popular here at all. He said that clubhouse chemistry is hugely important. And one guy (e.g. TheRealNeal) can really screw things up.
He also said
--balanced skills are more important than the ability to do one thing well (see Alfonso Soriano..except this year he could do nothing well).
--wasting an out to move a runner to 2B is ill-advised unless the pitcher is batting
--not making outs most important
--RBI not very important, too related to opportunities
--BA with RISP...not predictive of what a player will do in the future
--OBP very import
--SLG very import
--ERA very import
--OPS..he doesn't use it but it's useful
--BA can be useful
--Wins by a pitcher IS a VERY reliable stat over a period of years (not in a single year)
On Carlos Zambrano, "Is he an ace..I don't know, but if you don't want him I'll take him"
On Milton Bradley, "outstanding player when he keeps his head in the game"
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Thanks, Navigator and Rob G!
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Very clever, Navigator.
OK, I fess up. I am the Milton Bradley of TCR, and you are the Neifi Perez. The really perplexing question is why you haven't retired.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
what does bill james know about clubhouse chemistry?
unlike some of his peers, he's never worked in one on a regular basis.
you ask any player if it's important and most will say "yes" fwiw. it's actual impact, though...meh...
wins by a pitcher over a period of years makes aaron sele awesome, too.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
You've never been in the Cubs' clubhouse, but that doesn't stop you from commenting on it.
You are correct, though, about what players will say. Every one I've talked to said it's important but that winning breeds chemistry, not the other way around. The good chemistry aspect seems to come into play when dealing with adversity. The Cubs had plenty of that this year and didn't seem to deal with it all that well.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Once again I am a little confused how Bradley made the other player's jobs more difficult. Can someone elaborate on that? We have players on the team that performed well over expectations - how is that possible with Bradley in the clubhouse? And of course, if creating a negative environment can affect a player's play, why do people boo players on their own teams?
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
you're right trn....It's the fans' fault. Just like it was in Montreal..Cleveland...LA....San Diego..Oakland...Texas...
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
So when those GM's and managers say they would like to have Bradley back they're just lying to prove my point? It's probably because we're such close personal friends.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
oh...well that makes more sense...
rsox take it into account? is that year 1 or year 3 they wanted to get rid of manny? hehe...
they also had trot nixon and julio lugo on their team. did i miss something?
maybe manny/lugo/nixon (well, nixon wasn't their fault, he was drafted) taught them something.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Forget Burrell and just sign Johnny Gomes.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Forget them both and play Jake Fox and Michah Hoffpauir.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
I'm for that even if we dump MB for Burrell. One of those three is likely to be hot. Fox has to stay as backup 1b-3b at the least in case of catastrophy at those positions. Can we then get Chone Figgins to play 2B? And can he spell Theriot at SS for 15 games so we don't need Blanco?
Reed is gone if we have Burrell, Fox, and Hoffpauir, yes? I wouldn't spend money on Reed's slot with the cheaper choices at hand. Fontenot can go to the minors? That would help. Miles has to go. Tampa have any use for him along with Bradley, and throw in Cotts too? Iwamura back to the Cubs? That's a complete stretch. They have to eat Miles.
Soto/Hill, Lee, Figgins, Theriot, Ramirez, Soriano, Fukudome, Burrell, Fox, Hoffpauir, Baker, Johnson or Fuld or Blanco and we've already run out of slots? Who goes, I could see a case for all fo them staying somehow.
Looks like the bullpen will get younger. Grabow would be nice, Cotts not so much. Not gonna be much of a first offseason to the new owner. Ramirez and Soriano healthy and back all year would be huge enough for 2010 I believe.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
I could go along with Burrell, but I don't see Figgins coming anywhere near the Cubs in FA
Re: Playoff fun...
Yeah - he "hit crap" alright, to end any chance of the Cubs winning a Playoff game against the DBacks.
A nice 6-4-3 DP with the bags juiced.
I was there and you could hear a pin drop.
He is a very nice player. I was disgusted that Hendry traded him.
But "clutch" in the Playoffs is not his strong suit.
Even in Atlanta - same thing.
Re: Speaking of soul-crushing errors
Bah. We former St. Louis residents are not pleased.
Memories of Brant Brown, only worse...
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
soul-crushing errors
DeRosa gives Matt Holliday a tag-your-it high five.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
man. even though i am not a big Dodgers fan, how sweet it would be for the Ned-Flanderish, Cardinal Nation to have a huge turd placed on their collective head. it is goin to be tall odds to win three straight. Wheeee!
btw - joe torre's scouts know what they're doing
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Maybe Lou can manage for Torre the next three games, if the Cardinals want to win three straight.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Dave Kaplan on comcast sportsnite talked about how a source of his in
Minnesota (damn he has a source in every city) told him the twins wanted
to trade for Harden and Gregg but Hendry said he didnt want to wave
white flag on Aug. 30th.
To bad Kaplins source did not tell him who the Twins were offering.
My question is are you really waving the white flag by trading Harden
and Gregg. I would think addition by subtraction would have worked here.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
that goes against reports from hendry that there was never any serious offer. don't recall hearing about anyone claiming gregg...weird.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
oh yeah...forgot about the "just sliding through waivers" thing.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Paul Sullivan
Soriano's lack of concentration in the field is definitely a problem. He committed 11 errors this year, while no other left-fielder with 100 or more games there made more than five. But I don't think it's a problem of him not working hard enough. He just takes bad routes, plays the wall and corners poorly, and seems afraid of injuring himself making a diving catch.
He should hire an editor, so someone could point out to him that you don't get errors for doing any of those things.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Well, bad routes and fear of the wall/corners can result in errors if they contribute to getting into bad position or not concentrating on the ball. But most of the errors I've seen out of Soriano don't seem to have much to do with the wall, and often he seems to get to the spot in plenty of time. How does one explain those errors?
Add those to his poor range (bad routes and fear of diving--or poor first steps and poor last steps) and his difficulties with the walls and corners, and you've got some defensive problems. His arm makes up for some of them, I think. I don't know how it is that in the past he's been evaluated as good by defensive metrics... I just don't have insight into the stat, I think.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Where'd your idea of 'poor range' come from? Go back and watch some games from 2007-2008 when his legs weren't bothering him, he had excellent range coming in on balls and on ones hit to his left.
People have a tendency to fixate on watching him struggle with a ball hit over his head and conclude that he takes bad routes to all balls. It's just not true.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
Okay. Mediocre range? His range looks impressive when he's got a high fly ball that gives him time to get into his stride. But he's not as quick as I would've thought based on his past stolen base numbers, and he's definitely not a good finisher. Obviously I'm not making a quantitative statement here.
Re: The Cubs 2009 MVP and LVP Analysis
According to Win Probability Added- which is probably my favorite way of determining an MVP:
Lee had 3.48 which lead the team.
Fountainout came in at -2.27
For pitchers it was Lilly leading with a 2.64 (unmentioned Guzman came in 3rd with 2.16) and Heilman was last with a -.84
Recent comments
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
If all the starters have FIP > ERA, is that luck or good defense?
#Cubs plummet to 19-5 in August.
Fun with FIP
- J. Hammel 3.07 ERA/4.27 FIP (3.68 FIP last year)
- J. Arrieta 2.62 ERA/3.05 FIP (2.35 FIP last year)
- J. Lester 2.81 ERA/3.67 FIP (2.92 FIP last year)
- K. Hendricks 2.19 ERA/3.37 FIP (3.36 FIP last year)
- J. Lackey 3.41 ERA/3.72 FIP (3.57 FIP last year with Cards)

RTC Executive Management
General Manager – Tina Quigley
Tina Quigley, general manager of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), oversees one of the few agencies in the country that manages public transit, traffic management, roadway design, construction funding, and transportation planning, all under one roof.
Tina is working to change how residents, employees and visitors travel throughout our community by focusing on connecting the airport, resort corridor and convention center with a mass transit system and enhanced roadways. At the forefront of that effort is the Transportation Investment Business Plan, a cooperative effort with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, focused on strengthening our region's tourism economy.
Tina understands that efficient and effective transportation is a key driver to economic development. She leads the RTC's collaborative initiatives aimed at improving mobility and accessibility, creating jobs and attracting new businesses. She successfully worked with government, businesses and the community on the fuel revenue indexing program that is directly funding more than $700 million in roadway projects and leveraging more than a billion dollars in new infrastructure for our community. Tina's collaborative spirit and proven track record will be valuable assets as the RTC takes on the new role of core administrator of Southern Nevada Strong, the first comprehensive regional plan for our community.
Under Quigley's direction, significant enhancements have been made to the RTC transit system, improving workforce mobility and accessibility for two million residents and more than 41 million visitors. In recent years, the RTC launched eight rapid transit and express bus routes, a new residential route, and a transit pass program for university students and staff. The RTC also added three transit terminals with commuter park-and-ride lots, a platinum LEED-certified transit hub in downtown Las Vegas, and hundreds of new bus shelters. As a result of Quigley's management, the National Transit Database named the RTC one of the most efficient transit providers in the nation.
Quigley, a licensed pilot, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Business and Planning from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. In recognition of her professional achievements, Quigley received the Woman of Distinction Award for Government Services by the National Association of Women Business Owners and the Carolyn M.

Hello and thanks for such an excellent Plugin. It does (almost) everything I require...
The thing: Can I change the slideshow fade type? I find the fade out and in very distracting and would prefer a fade-through (cross dissolve).
One of the visually disturbing things is the fading buttons. These become inactive once the fade code has kicked-in.
Thanks again.

Marsh scored two of the visitors' five tries and was an impressive presence throughout as Denis Betts' men triumphed in the capital. The Vikings were forced to make do without two of their big-name signings, Gareth Hock and Kevin Brown, due to injury and installed former London loanee Joe Mellor at stand-off.
The Broncos elected to give a debut start to centre Alex Hurst, a close-season signing from Swinton. Last season's clash between the pair went right to the wire, with the hosts eventually prevailing thanks to a last-gasp Antonio Kaufusi try.
The visitors set about putting that right straight from the off, grabbing an early lead when Marsh took Jon Clarke's pass, cut inside and muscled over from close range. London really should have levelled things up moments later, but Jamie O'Callaghan was bundled into touch by a posse of Widnes defenders when he looked certain to score.
It was no-frills stuff from the Vikings, but their aggressive approach was certainly putting the Broncos on the back foot. And that energetic start was so nearly converted into more points on 16 minutes when Willie Isa was inches from grounding a teasing kick through.
The home side were showing precious little creativity, with loose kicks and passes into touch peppering their attacking play. But London were fronting up defensively, with the end result being both sides cancelling each other out for much of the opening half.
It was Widnes who were to move further clear on the half-hour, Clarke engineering space and romping over after neat hands from the Vikings backs. And the away side moved into a commanding position before the break, Dave Allen cashing in with a third try after the Broncos spilled an aimless kick on the last tackle.
With skipper Craig Gower departing due to injury, London were forced into a second-half reshuffle, Chris Melling and new signing Tommy Lee entering the fray. The Broncos had the perfect chance to grab a lifeline midway through the half, only for Will Lovell to somehow spill the ball in the act of grounding with the line at his mercy.
Tony Rea's men finally got on the board on 64 minutes, profiting from a loose pass that went to ground with Kieran Dixon scooping up and skidding home.
Further late scores saw Frank Winterstein rumble home for the visitors and Melling and Dixon burst over late on for the Broncos, Marsh rounding off the scoring.
Francis Cummins enjoyed a dream start to his role of head coach as new-look Bradford beat Wakefield 40-6 at the Provident Stadium.
Jamie Foster, Matty Blythe and Adam Sidlow all scored tries on debut as the Bulls, embarking on a re-building phase after almost going under last year, dominated the West Yorkshire derby from start to finish.
Foster, a specialist winger filling in at full-back, also kicked six goals from seven attempts to finish with a 16-point haul, while man of the match Jarrod Sammut helped offset the absence of the injured Luke Gale at scrum-half with a brace of opportunist tries.
Much was expected of the Wildcats, who won their last seven league games of 2012 to snatch the last play-off spot from the Bulls, but they could not match the energy and enthusiasm of Cummins' superbly-drilled outfit.
The visitors also sorely missed last year's player of the year Tim Smith, who is still recovering from an ankle injury sustained in a pre-season friendly, but coach Richard Agar will be alarmed at the ease with which their opponents broke through the heart of their defence.
The Bulls had a spring in their step from the kick-off and opened the scoring with a scintillating eight-man handling move. The lively Sammut made the decisive break and Foster handled twice before Chev Walker provided the final pass for winger Michael Platt, who crossed at the corner to make up for earlier dropping a tryscoring pass from Tom Olbison.
Foster then came up with the tryscoring pass for Blythe to go through a gap in the fragile Wakefield defence wide out, and Sidlow took Matt Diskin's short pass to crash over for Bradford's third try.
Foster kicked all three conversions to make it 18-0 and Bradford added a fourth try five minutes before half-time through the mercurial Sammut, who broke through the visitors' first line of defence and held off full-back Richard Mathers in a sprint to the corner.
Any hint of a Wakefield fightback was snuffed out within seven minutes of the re-start when Foster raced on to a grubber kick by Brett Kearney, who switched effectively from full-back to stand-off. He then jinked his way over for his second try and Foster's goal made it 34-0, but Wakefield avoided a whitewash when skipper Danny Kirmond blocked Sammut's kick and centre Dean Collis gathered the loose ball to race 70 metres for a try.
Former Bradford half-back Paul Sykes kicked the conversion but the Wildcats continued to spend most of the game penned inside their own half, and the Bulls rounded off the scoring with a seventh try from Kearney nine minutes from the end.
Laurent Frayssinous started his Super League coaching career with a win as his Catalan Dragons beat Hull KR 32-24 at MS3 Craven Park.
Frayssinous had the unenviable task of replacing Trent Robinson as the Dragons coach, but Robinson left the team in great shape after finishing fourth last season.The rookie coach reduced his pre-season to six weeks and that seemed to do the trick as Catalan started with a comfortable win.
One of the few bright spots for Rovers last season was keeping the French side to three tries or less in three close encounters, but Catalan scored four in the first half after Michael Dobson gave Rovers a third-minute lead with a penalty.
The lead only lasted four minutes as Thomas Bosc sent Zeb Taia over for a try and Bosc converted for a 6-2 lead which Jason Baitieri extended as he took advantage of some slack defending from Rovers.
Super League's oldest player Steve Menzies then rolled back the years with two tries in the closing stages of the first half.
His first came when Brent Webb's pass caught Rovers off guard on their left-hand side. The best try of the half came on the opposite flank when Jamal Fakir broke with electric pace before sending the 39-year-old Menzies away for a simple score. Bosc landed three of the four conversions as the home side struggled.
Rovers' problems worsened three minutes after the break. A breakdown in communication 20 metres from their own line between Con Mika and Lincoln Withers gifted Catalan possession from which Fakir ran through unopposed to score. Bosc missed the conversion but the Dragons led 26-2.
Rovers finally got over the Catalan line in the 51st minute from a superb offload from Cory Paterson. It was just what Rovers needed with half an hour to play and another Paterson offload helped set up Rovers' second try. A Dobson kick was dropped a metre from his try line by Webb and fell invitingly for Josh Hodgson to pick up and score. Dobson converted to make it 26-12.
Suddenly Rovers were on top and they made the most of their dominance when Omari Caro scored his side's third try of the game. Centre Liam Salter provided the perfect flick pass for the winger to score and Dobson converted to set up a tense finale.
However, Webb then secured victory for the Dragons with the killer try. Young prop Julian Bousquet powered through a gap in defence and offloaded for Webb to score. The game's final score came for the home side when Hodgson found Withers to open his account for the season with two minutes remaining. Dobson's conversion made the final score 32-24.
A stunning first half display by Super League favourites Warrington Wolves saw them kick off their 2013 campaign with a 40-24 victory over Castleford Tigers at the Halliwell Jones stadium.
The Wolves exploded out of the blocks and scored four tries in the opening 13 minutes through Chris Riley, Ryan Atkins, Rhys Evans and Richie Myler with Brett Hodgson landing three conversions to open up a 22-0 lead.
Further first-half tries from Ben Westwood and Garreth Carvell, both goaled by Hodgson, saw the Wolves extend their lead to 34-12 at half-time. The Tigers produced a much-improved second half display and restricted the home side to just a further score from Westwood but the damage had been done in the opening exchanges.
Castleford scored second half tries through Richard Owen and Jake Webster to add to first half scores from Justin Carney and Michael Shenton with Jamie Ellis landing four goals. Warrington coach Tony Smith had almost a fully fit squad to select from with centre Chris Bridge the only absentee as he recovers from a close season operation.
A much changed Castleford side saw coach Ian Millward give six full debuts to Jordan Tansey, Jake Webster, Keith Mason, Justin Carney, Weller Hauraki and Lee Gilmour, while Michael Shenton returned for his second spell at the club as captain but they were without winger Kirk Dixon who was ruled out with a torn calf sustained in training.
Chris Riley scrambled over in the corner after two minutes and three minutes later a superb midfield break by Simon Grix sent Ryan Atkins racing clear to score. Centre Rhys Evans claimed Warrington's third try on the 10 minute mark and three minutes later Richie Myler touched down with Brett Hodgson landing three conversions to make it 22-0 to the home side after just 13 minutes.
It was a surprise that it took a further 10 minutes for Warrington to add to their tally and this time a Briers bomb was kept alive superbly by Joel Monaghan and Evans to allow Westwood to cross for his side's fifth try which Hodgson again converted to stretch the lead to 28-0.
Castleford finally got a foothold in the game and were rewarded with points when Rangi Chase's kick deflected off Lee Briers and Jake Webster sent Justin Carney over for his side's first try of the season which Jamie Ellis converted.
Garreth Carvell added a further try for the Wolves which Hodgson converted, but the Tigers had the final say of the first half when Shenton pounced on a loose pass and raced 30 metres to score. Ellis kicked his second conversion to reduce the arrears to 34-12 at half time. Warrington were once again on the front at the start of the second half and three minutes after the restart Myler sent Westwood over for his second try of the game and Hodgson's conversion made it 40-12.
But to their credit the Tigers stuck to their task and produced a gritty second half display which was rewarded with tries for Owen and Webster and Ellis landed two more conversions but all the damage had been done in the first half.

Principal investigators are responsible for insuring that members of their staffs who work with animals are familiar with relevant procedures and details specified in the protocols. In addition, supervision of work performed on animals must be adequate to insure that approved protocols are being followed and that significant changes are not implemented prior to IACUC approval.
The Central Washington University Use of Animals in Research and Teaching policy [2-2.37] states "It is the policy of Central Washington University to provide the best possible care for animals used in research or teaching, thereby meeting or exceeding accepted guidelines and all applicable federal, state, and local legislation." One of the roles of the IACUC is to review all concerns about the animal care and use program, regardless of origin, and to investigate them as warranted. Furthermore, as an institution that accepts federal funds for research, CWU is legally obligated to report to the appropriate federal agencies (a) any serious or continuing noncompliance with PHS policy or the requirements or determinations of the IACUC, (b) any serious deviation from the provisions of the Guide and (c) any suspension of any activity by the IACUC.
The procedures described below are guided by recommendations in the OLAW Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Guidebook.
Several types of noncompliance problems may be brought to the attention of the IACUC, such as:
- Reports that an investigator is not following the research protocol as approved by the IACUC.
- Repeated failure of an investigator to report required or requested information to the IACUC.
- Ongoing research or instructional use of live, vertebrate animals for which there is not an IACUC approved protocol.
- Failure to provide appropriate standard of care.
- Problems causing a funding agency audit regarding an investigator or a research study.
Given the wide range of possible noncompliance events, the procedures and timelines to be followed will depend on the seriousness of the situation and the potential impact on animals involved.
Emergent Situations: The IACUC is authorized to suspend an activity involving animals as set forth in the PHS Policy at IV.C.6.
- In an emergent situation where the Attending Veterinarian is on site and veterinary medical intervention is not sufficient, the Attending Veterinarian may immediately suspend an ongoing activity until the IACUC can be convened and consider the matter formally. This is accomplished by personally providing a written statement of suspension to the person in charge of the facility or laboratory. The Attending Veterinarian will immediately notify the IACUC Chairperson of the action.
- Upon receipt of a complaint alleging an emergent situation, the IACUC chairperson will determine with the attending veterinarian if immediate suspension is required for all or part of the project in question as well as the facility. The IACUC chairperson will inform the principal investigator and/or facilities manager as soon as possible. This initial decision will be based on preliminary information and the seriousness of the situation, and a meeting with the PI, if appropriate.
- In either case, the IACUC Chairperson will convene a meeting of the IACUC at the earliest possible opportunity. A majority vote of a convened quorum of the committee will result in the suspension, or continuation of the suspension of the activity.
- If the activity is suspended, the PI will be notified in writing of the suspension and the reasons for it. Notification will also be provided to the PI's department chair or director, facility manager, Office of Grants and Contracts, the Provost and/or other pertinent university officers. All communication regarding the suspension will be documented.
- In consultation with the IACUC, the IO will review the reasons for the suspension, take appropriate corrective action and report that action to OLAW. The IO will also report suspension activity to USDA (APHIS) and any Federal funding agency if required. Follow up reports will be sent at resolution of the concern.
Non-emergent Situations:
- Upon becoming aware of a non-emergent noncompliance concern, the IACUC Chairperson (or subcommittee) will determine whether to place it on the agenda for the next regular IACUC meeting or to convene a special meeting.
- After initial review of the concern, the IACUC will determine whether it requires further investigation and immediate action (including but not limited to suspension), further investigation but no immediate action, or no action. At that time the IACUC will also determine which individuals or other institutional or noninstitutional offices may require notification. (See procedures for suspension above.)
- Should further investigation be required, the IACUC will outline the information to be gathered and set a completion date. The IACUC Chairperson or appointed designee or subcommittee will conduct the investigation and report back to the IACUC. Care will be taken to avoid actual or perceived conflict of interest.
An investigation will be performed of the research or activity against which the complaint is lodged and may include any or all research at CWU conducted by the principal investigator (PI). The investigation procedures may include but are not limited to:
- Reviewing the research protocol in question.
- Reviewing the principal investigator's IACUC files (i.e., all previous and current projects).
- Reviewing any relevant documentation, including data files, etc., as they relate to the investigator's execution of his or her activities involving animals.
- Interviewing appropriate handlers, and study or university personnel.
The person(s) conducting the investigation will prepare a written report of the investigation findings that will be presented to the full IACUC at its next convened meeting. The report may recommend actions, if appropriate, based on its findings.
4. Possible findings
a. No evidence to support concern or complaint: A finding of no evidence will be signed by the IACUC chairperson. Copies of the communication will be forwarded to appropriate parties.
b. Concern or complaint not supported, but related aspects of animal care and use program or other institutional programs may require further review: A finding of no evidence will be made as above, and the issue will be followed up by the IACUC and/or reported to appropriate institutional officials or committees for their consideration.
c. Nonserious and noncontinuing : If the incident appears to be isolated and, in essence, a miscommunication of a nonserious or noncontinuing nature, the incident will remain internal to the university. A letter from the IACUC Chair to the PI describing a summary of the investigation will be written. A response from the PI describing corrective action, if any, is required. This will be considered the final step if the incident is considered nonserious and continuing noncompliance was not determined. The finding of nonserious and noncontinuing noncompliance will be signed by the IACUC chairperson. Copies of the communication will be forwarded to the PI, the PI's department chair or director, and the IO.
d. Serious or continuing : If the investigation indicates noncompliance that is serious or continuing, the IO will contact OLAW. If applicable, the funding source will also be notified. This notification will consist of an immediate phone call to apprise the office of the incident of serious or continuing noncompliance and will be followed with a formal report including corrective actions for this specific incident as well as for the research program in general at Central Washington University to ensure incidents will not occur again.
A letter to the PI describing a summary of the investigation will be written. This finding of serious or continuing noncompliance will be signed by the IACUC chairperson and may include corrective actions to be taken and/or recommendations to the IO for sanctions. Copies of the communication will be forwarded to the PI, the PI's department chair or director, the appropriate college dean, and the IO. The IACUC and the IO will confer as necessary to resolve the issue. All communication regarding the finding and resolution will be documented.

Let's get this out of the way right real quick: If you've been around the Internet block this week, you might have seen articles about the Disney Animation film Wreck-It Ralph. Many of them, wrongly, presupposed that the movie was being done by Pixar. It is not. Yes, the above trailer does have a Pixar look to it, we saw hints of the Toy Story style of animation, but it is not a Pixar film.
We're offering a couple of context clues for any future potential Pixar trailers: One, Pixar always puts their lamp logo at the beginning of trailers (see: Brave trailer). Two, Disney goes out of its way to let viewers know that they're getting a Pixar movie, including the lamp logo, the name of the company and calling back to previous Pixar films.
With all of that said, what is Wreck-It Ralph? The new movie from Disney Animation Studios follows a Donkey Kong-esque character in Wreck-it Ralph (John C. Reilly) who captures a girl and has to fend off a Mario-esque character, Fix-it Felix (Jack McBrayer, Kenneth from 30 Rock). After 20-plus years of capturing and wrecking, Ralph has gotten sick of being the bad guy. So, he leaves and finds himself in a first-person shooter (cheekily based on Call of Duty, sort of) where he accidentally unleashes a worse villian into the gaming world.
It's a nice trailer with the nostalgia button fully pressed down. Who doesn't smile seeing the Pac-Man ghost and Zangief in a video-game-bad-guy-support-group? We did.
The film also stars Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch as a cart-racer character and a FPS sergeant, respectively.
Wreck-It Ralph hits theaters this fall on November 2.

proceeded normally throughout the project, save for a problem with the shell that required a repair. Shortly after
the completion of the pool, we began using the pool. Then, one morning as we prepared to leave on a cruise to the Caribbean, we observed that water was pouring into our basement. It had been raining very hard outside, and the water was coming in at 2 basement windows. Our basement is fully finished. Well, we had not purchased cruise insurance,
so we went ahead and left, but, hired someone to clean up the water. This is where all of the problems start. The concrete decking that was poured around the pool has been sloped incorrectly, which causes any rain water to drain toward
our house, and when enough rain enters the window wells, it pours into the basement. We have had to install 2 sump
pumps into the window wells to pump the water from this area. Now we have the issue of rain water coming into the basement from the window wells if there is heavy rain and the pumps cannot keep up, or the power fails. Plus, every few
months, we have to clean the pumps of mud and muck to keep them in working order, not a pleasant thing, and all due to improper grading of the concrete decking toward the house instead of away from the house. The next problem is
that Jack charged us $660 for a sump pump that was to be installed into a tube next to the pool. It is a fiberglass
pool, so it is important to keep water from collecting under the pool, (says Jack) hence the reason for the sump well and pump. The problem is, we have paid for this, but, Jack refuses to come and install the pump.
(Jack has since promised to install the pump 3 different times.) The next problem is concerning an inflatable dome that was to be installed late in Sept. 2004. My wife is disabled, and the injuries that she sustained that made her disabled make it very difficult for her to do the exercise necessary to maintain mobility. She must use a wheelchair whenever she goes to the mall, shopping, Wal-Mart, etc. She needs use of the pool all year, hence the reason for the dome. Jack charged us $6600 for the dome, 1 install, and 1 removal, as it is removed for the summer. He kept putting us off as to why he could not deliver the dome. He did this for several weeks. For a time, he began refusing our calls. In the end, the dome was eventually installed, but, we found it to be unusable because the air temperature inside the dome was the same as the air temperature outside the
dome, so, at 10 degrees outside, it would also be 10 degrees inside the dome, hardly swimming weather! We called the company, and they indicated that Jack, the pool installer had been informed of this when the dome was ordered, but,
that we as a customer had supposedly been informed of this, and wanted it anyway. This made a $6600 inflatable dome useless. The sump pump has NEVER been installed next to the pool, and all we have is a hole in our concrete deck next to the pool. Do your homework before hiring any contractor to do any work in or around your home!

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
AUTHOR: Jack - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 31, 2015POSTED: Tuesday, March 31, 2015
My name is Jack Anderson the owner of Custom Pools, yes I did build a pool for the complainants. First I will begain with some of what is written is true I did provide a sump well for a pump to be added but yes a pump was never installed. As for the rest it is completely false and over exaggerated. The concrete deck slops away from the house to a deck drain and away from the pool also toward the same deck drain, if you don't keep the end of the drain open or you allow the drain to become plugged the result will be that water is allowed to backup and flood the same as a toilet or kitchen sink, common sense.
As for the pool cover, yes I did order the pool cover as instructed by the home owner after they researched the inflatable cover themselves and yes they were completely aware of the needs to heat the pool during the winter months and that SOME KIND of supplemental heat source would be required to bring up the temperature within the pool environment during the winter months, again they did the research (internet) before order was placed.
These customers did hire a lawyer and after reviewing the contract and doing the prproper onsite nvestigation, the lawyer no longer pursued any action against me or Customer Pool.
My belief is that they are not able to properly maintain the back yard environment, and needed to place blame for their neglect. I have a great deal of pride in my projects and would NEVER do such a silly thing as to slop concrete toward the house without the proper drainage in place.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Robert Pattinson felt embarrassed to go shirtless
"It's really embarrassing, especially when Taylor has a fourteen-pack or something," the Telegraph quoted him as telling Heat magazine. Actress Kristen Stewart also had a word of praise for Lautner's new look.
She said: "He's an entirely different person physically. It took him so much time. He's so devoted. The cool thing, though, is that it's not just physical. You can read it all over him, just in his attitude. "The difference between the kid that did Twilight and the guy now is pretty astounding. He even did a lot of his own stunts. He catapulted himself into a window - that was really impressive."

A melted MacBook Magsafe Power Connector! It got hot, and I didn't notice until I looked at it! :(
h.rav added this photo to his favorites. (89 months ago)
I had one that melted through and actually caught on fire (just a flame coming out). Apple was very cautious on the phone making sure I wasn't going to press anything. They ended up sending me one for free and that one is already showing signs of wear and tear.
Yes, that happened to me twice already.
That plug looks pretty beat up. Sure you didn't toss it in the wood chipper?
I got to this picture from www.tauw.com where someone is starting a lawsuit over stuff like this. No offense, but crap like this happens when you beat up your stuff. the wire looks like it had a short in it from misuse close to the connector, sliced a little in the outer lining, and also like it has been beat against some thing hard. I have had mine for about three years now and it is in MUCH better shape than this and I am ALWAYS on the go. nothing personal though.
Same thing happened to my MB (June 2006). Apple replaced it a few weeks ago for free.
One More!! It even sparked a little bit and it got hot as hell, just a few months after warranty expired...on my second one and on my second battery as well...
The 1/8" power adapter wins again.
You obviously don't know how to take care of your things. Did you chew on it?
That looks suspiciously like what my cables (not magsafe) look like after my cat has chewed on it... puncture and all.
I take really good care of mine and always make sure I have a loop for strain relief and that the cord is not pinched at the point where it enters the end housing. Still on #1, though my old powerbook g4 is about to need its 3rd.
The magnetic attachment is solid, but the failing with these adaptors is the pogo pins and the cable's strain relief. I'm not sure how much longer this kind of connector will last as I'm not sure how well it will transfer more than 90-100W of power.
This is already an unspoken issue. Peak power demand from these laptops is already greater than the adaptors will supply as evidenced by the fact they underclock themselves when running without a battery installed. The only real solution will be to make the connector larger -- I'm not sure how well that will go over considering how they are pushing out other ports claiming a space issue.
You know, if you take ANY cable carrying any amount of current that isn't just 'sustaining' a system (ie: charging) and kink it several times, bend it, break some of the metal strands, then stress it against plastic, that plastic will melt.
The device is sucking power just as fast through less metallic surface area in the delivery.
The result is heat.
That's pretty basic to understand.
This should be classified as "normal wear".
Take care of your shit and this won't happen, I promise.
You know, I have psu cables that carry 150 amps on the 12v rail, bent double several times for mounting, and they don't do that.
This happened to me too. Good thing it was under the warranty still :)
80bucks X 4 mag[not]safe so far, damn
I like muscular men
Bent once is OK. Bent, re-bent, re-bent again, coiled up, smushed between the side of a laptop and edge of a desk, etc... that's quite another.
It all matters whether or not the wire strands inside the wire break apart, because once they do, you have the same amount of current going through less wire. that equals heat.
Simply bending without breaking strands in the wire isn't a bad thing. :)
So... yeah.. for mounting, that would be safe.
If I took a vacuum cleaner cord, picked ONE spot, and bent it several hundred times, my guess is that in that spot, it would eventually get hot enough to light a match. Either that or my ancient breaker box would object before that happened.
Even if the wiring breaks, the shielding/sheathing shouldn't, especially on a cable that costs that much. Someone could probably bank making aftermarkets for this.
Since I'm not one to fail to admit when I could be wrong, I'm starting to side with the "design flaw" and "maybe a recall is in order" crowd:

A month later they billed my credit card for the order and shipped it via UPS. After four phone calls they eventually agreed to take the shipment back, but refused to pay for the full amount of return freight.
Fraudulent billing, terrible customer service. Upon searching the internet I find scores of similar complaints. It seems as if company policy is to annoy as many customers as possible.

Chaos in Egypt again!
Buoyed by international praise for the effort he made to mediate a Gaza ceasefire, where out of 104 civilians killed and 970 wounded, 34 and 274 respectively were children, president Mursi of Egypt tried to consolidate his power by a decree giving him sweeping new powers.
This surprising move sparked violent nationwide protests.
The president said that he was acting to protect the revolution. Specifically, he wanted to prevent the courts from disbanding for a second time, the assembly that is writing the Egyptian constitution. There was credible reports that the courts might be about to do this.
Most of the judges are appointed by the ousted former dictator Hosni Mubarak. Many Egyptians think that they are still loyal to the old regime. The same applies to the prosecutor-general whom Mursi sacked.
His replacement moved quickly to re-open criminal investigations into the former president, his family and former regime officials. A series of trials for corruption and for the killing of protesters during the revolution have so far had only mixed results, raising questions about the loyalty of the prosecutor, though Hosni Mubarak himself is serving a long prison term.
A possible way out of the crisis would be for a memorandum or amendment defining the decree's limits.
It was reported that the president was due to meet members of the Supreme Judicial Council to discuss the decree on an early date. Several prominent opposition leaders, including Nobel Peace Prize winner former head of IAEA, Mohamed El Baradei, have said they will not engage in dialogue with the president until he rescinds the measure, known as the constitutional declaration.
Meanwhile a Cairo administrative court has said it will hold a first hearing on 4 December in a case brought by lawyers and activists against the decree.
According to president Mursi's decree, no authority can revoke presidential decisions. Mursi's supporters have called for one million people march to take place outside Cairo University.
In every way, we believe, Mursi's supporters can easily outnumber the opposition. A chaos in Cairo at this moment is not at all good for the Palestinians in Gaza Strip in particular and for the Egyptians in general.
