ERISA at 50: A New Model for the Private Pension System
Pamela J. Perun
Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement
C. Eugene Steuerle
Urban Institute
March 2000
The Urban Institute, The Retirement Project, Occasional Paper, No. 4
In 1999, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the primary law regulating the private pension system, turned 25. Since 1974, ERISA has expanded in unanticipated and often irrational ways. The private pension system is now burdened with overly complex rules, regulations, and plan types inhibiting its ability to generate adequate retirement income for millions of Americans. This paper proposes a new model for ERISA at 50 with vastly simplified plans and rules intended to make the private pension system more accessible by employers and employees alike. The center of the proposal is a single, standard defined contribution plan that would include a simplified option for employee savings. The role played by IRAs is also enhanced, enabling them to achieve parity with employer plans through a coordinated individual savings limit. The proposal also suggests ways in which defined benefit plans could be adapted for an aging workforce and alternatives for the nondiscrimination rules to increase benefit accruals by moderate-income workers. The paper then looks to ERISA at 65 and proposes replacing the employer-sponsored plan with individual defined contribution accounts offered through the financial services industry. It explains how removing the superstructure of a plan could simplify benefits law and enable employers to spend more of their employee benefit dollars directly on their own employees and less on the plan compliance industry.

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
Conveys a signal across a cell to trigger a change in cell function or state. A signal is a physical entity or change in state that is used to transfer information in order to trigger a response.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, extent or direction of cell growth.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway activity.

Ha! They did not cancel it. Now I continue to send the blankety blank DVD back every month. I don't have the account number anymore because I threw it out when I thought they had cancelled my membership as I requested them to do. Now in order to get the account number, I will have to open the DVD that comes every month. Then I will have to pay for it to be mailed back to them and that is not going to happen. I am through paying anything to do with them.
So I guess I will continue to call the credit card company every month and have them remove the charges to this horrible company and Columbia will continue to pay for the mailing back. This will go on until they get smart enough (NEVER) to see that this is costing them money now.

Sir: Quetiapine (Seroquel) is a new atypical antipsychotic drug belonging to a new chemical class, the dibenzothiazepine derivatives. It is a serotonin and dopamine receptor antagonist, which also has antagonistic activity at α-adrenergic and histamine receptor sites. A MEDLINE review of the literature yielded no prior published reports of quetiapine overdosage. Therefore, we report the case of a patient who intentionally ingested a large quantity of quetiapine.

Klitschko-Wach Negotiations Intensify For The Fall
By Luke Furman, Alexey Sukachev and Inna Lagun (Allboxing.ru)
Mariusz Wach (27-0, 15 KOs), a huge (6'8'') Polish heavyweight, is very close to striking a deal to face the world's top big man Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 51 KOs), who holds the WBA/IBO/WBO/IBF titles. Sources close to the situaation indicate that only minor details are under discussion right now while the body of the contract is agreed upon.
The bout is scheduled to take place at Imtech-Arena in Hamburg, Germany, either in late November or in early December this year. Imtech-Arena can be filled in by approximately 60.000 fans.
Wach, 32, is interestingly rated #4 by the WBC but unranked by the other major sanctioning bodies - and still an unknown among the elite of the sport's glamour division. He started his pro career in 2005 but was fighting mainly overmatched foes and journeymen of a lower caliber for the first six years.
In 2009 he suffered a back injury and was one step from calling it a day. Luckily for him, he was guided back to the sport by Maiusz Kolodziej of Global Boxing. He got four big wins in 2011 and 2012 (including those over veteran behemoths Kevin McBride and Tye Fields and dangerous upset artist Jason Gavern – all by way of knockout) and captured WBC Baltic and WBC International belts along the way. He is fighting mainly in the United States at this point of his career.

SenarioTek, a designer and manufacturer of RF and microwave products, announced the extension of the FlexMatrix reconfigurable RF switch matrix series to incorporate external signal conditioning. Now test engineers can easily route their required signal conditioning into RF switching paths for applications such as radar, military communications and consumer wireless.
The FlexMatrix expansion ports provide test engineers with the capability to expand their 5x5 or 10x10 solutions to a greater number of ports. These expansion ports now provide the flexibility to allow an inline component to be added between the FlexMatrix input and output, without the need for external switching (see diagram). For example, an external amplifier may be added with the amplified signal being routed to any or all of the FlexMatrix outputs.
"Our FlexMatrix series leverages our many years of designing custom RF/microwave products and offers our customers the expandability they require", said Simi Ghiasvand, SenarioTek's CEO and President. "Now test engineers can easily add the signal conditioning they need without compromising their RF switching performance."

It takes the signatures of 5,000 Alabama voters to get an independent presidential candidate on the ballot.
A spokesman for Nader said the campaign has already gotten more than that. The other three campaigns are still working on it, but hope to reach the goal.

I was told when I purchased the contract that it was a 50 dollar deductible. I am eligible for an upgrade on my account, but am waiting for the release of another phone. The fact that a Company like Asurion makes a mint in premiums, and in essence offers a replacement phone that is obsolete for 100% more than I can get one off ebay for is absurd. Save your money. Do Not buy Asurion. Poor customer service and misleading benefits on the front end.

Product Description
Isabella Valentine and Goddess Lycia are two sexy Goddesses entrancing you using repetitive brain conditioning techniques.
In this classic femdom brainwashing mp3, you will receive over 100 triggers that activate after the recording is over. They are given to you one after another, repeated *at least* once, with various sound effects and voiceovers to guide you in the world of female domination. If you have a Mistress, a wife, or a girlfriend (or want one), this will enhance the pleasure you receive submitting to her.
We've compiled some of the top suggestions commonly requested by clients in femdom communities and worded them in ways that are easy to understand, simple to follow, and arguably one of the hottest femdom conditioning recordings you'll find out there. Suggestions include obvious things such as pleasing your Mistress, doing what she says, love of obedience, and the correct submissive role to take. However we've also included many other hot suggestions that are more geared towards her pleasure in and out of the bedroom. For example: a desire to remember her shoe and dress size, be willing to cook and clean for her, and – as Lycia so sexily suggests, "Your penis must point like an arrow in her direction."
There really are FAR too many suggestions for me to list them all here, but what I can tell you is that it's a classic femdom brainwashing mp3. There's no references to feminization, cuckolding, or financial domination. (There are references to wanting to buy your woman flowers or surprise her with her favorite clothes from time to time – but doesn't focus on giving "us" anything.) It only focuses on the male servant who wishes to please his female dominant in the most effective manner. Most of the suggestions are based on obedience, service, eagerness to please, the desire to be spanked, kneeling on the floor, and doing whatever the fuck a yummy woman tells you to do.
This mp3 has special master effects which gradually change midway through the recording to dynamically whirl you further in entrancement. There is also stereo panning involved so be sure you have stereo headphones if you want the highest impact this mp3 can give you.
If you're serious about being the best submissive slave toy you can be for your Mistress, this is a must-have recording for your collection. Without it, it's like having a coffee table without a book on it.

This province isn't necessarily more corrupt than other jurisdictions, but some of the underlying factors are "distinct."
One of the accused in the municipal corruption trial concerning the sale of the city of Montreal's Contrecoeur site pleaded guilty to fraud on Friday. Daniel Gauthier, who was an urban planner working on the sale of the city-owned land in Mercier — Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, pleaded guilty to three of four charges he was facing. The charges are conspiracy to commit fraud and two counts of fraud.

The accused, including former city executive committee chairman Frank Zampino, who was the number two man at Montreal city hall from 2002 to […]
The Charbonneau Commission's final report on corruption is 1,741 pages long, offers 60 recommendations, and leaves many questions unanswered.
Provincial police force received a videocassette in 2002 saying that there was collusion among construction companies that were applying for contracts in Laval. But because the tape was sent anonymously, the SQ couldn't base an investigation on the recording alone.
Fire Prevention Week is happening October 5th to the 11th. This year the big focus is on smoke alarms. Why? Because they save lives.
About 1,300 employees of Laval-based Dessau Inc. will soon be part of Canada's second-largest engineering, design and construction management company.
When former provincial MNA Diane Lemieux took over as head of Quebec's construction commission in 2011, the organization was in complete disarray.
Tax evasion and other forms of fraud connected to the construction industry in the 2000s resulted in more than $1 billion in lost government revenue each year, the Charbonneau Commission heard Wednesday.
The Charbonneau Commission marked an important milestone on Thursday morning, formally closing the main portion of its public hearings after summoning nearly 190 witnesses to the stand.

MONTREAL — Quebec's Order of Engineers has suspended Gilles Vézina for six years, in a ruling that found him guilty of accepting bribes while he worked for the city of Montreal. The ruling, published Tuesday, won't affect Vézina since he's been retired for five years, but a spokesperson from the Order says it should dissuade engineers from unethical conduct in the future.

I bought a pool based on his super-dooper claims and the thing fell apart. Suddenly Mr Gillebaard was no longer available.....6 months later I stil have the piece of trash in my backyard. I got help through my credit card company, but I could have saved alot of blood sweat and tears if I knew then what I know now.
Hope my complaint will save other from buying a pool from this jerk. He makes them in his garage with a gallon glue can. They explode in two days and the Ted Gillebarrd runs away like a frighten chicken. He ran so fast that the hounds couldn"t catch him, he runs through the briar and he runs through the bushes, down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. ,Human , humn, humn. The Orange County District Attorney ran faster and finally caught him.

Skill Level Intermediate
If you create a chart in Excel and put it in the same worksheet as the data, sometimes you want certain kind of control over how the chart is placed. If you have worked with charts, you probably know that if you'd like to move a chart, you need to only click just inside the border and drag perhaps in one smooth action here, like that, move it around wherever you want. Sometimes you might have other charts with this, or you just want to move it a little bit. If you hold down the Ctrl key as you click on a chart, you've put it into a certain kind of mode, so that you can nudge the chart by simply pressing arrow keys.
So, I'm pressing the Up Arrow right now and you see how this is moving the chart just slightly upward. Or leftward, or downward. If you work with graphics a lot, either objects or images like this, that might be not too critical. Something else you might want to do though, something different really, is that when you click on a chart, you perhaps recognize that on each midpoint, on the four sides and on the corners, you see little dots. These are sometimes called handles. If you drag one of these corners, of course you can make the chart taller, wider, narrower, whatever.
But if you hold down the Alt key, something special happens. This serves as if to be a magnetic attraction so that the edges line up with cell boundaries. You don't always see this so clearly. So, right now I've got the Alt key held down. You see as I'm dragging here, I'm not jumping to the edges. This happens almost automatically. I'm going to let go of the mouse now. As I click outside, you see how perfect and even that is. So, if you have that sort of special need, if you want these edges to line up just perfectly with the cell boundaries, as you drag a corner or edge, hold down the Alt key, and then let go of the mouse first as you drag these. Just makes it look neater and tidier.
I didn't do on the bottom here. Actually, it works best if you do two opposite corners and then that takes care of two edges at a time. Let's try this again down here, holding down Alt. There we go. Let go of the mouse, and then click away from it to see the effect of it. If you've got some kind of a shadow effect on this, it might not be so obvious. You can quickly do this, and you can do this with most objects as well too. Reposition the chart to make it look the best. Keep in mind too that two of our top ten shortcuts for creating charts, one here, if we want a chart real quickly right here on the worksheet, it's just Alt+F1.
Invariably, that does need repositioning. So, use either of the two tips we've talked about. Either align this with edges, again holding down Alt, or possibly just nudging it by Ctrl+Clicking and using the arrow keys. So, different ways to control the placement of charts on a worksheet.

Alexis Sanchez scored an injury-time winner to give the Blaugrana all three points, but the Argentine tactician was less than impressed.
"Sevilla's goals were a consequence of our lack of control," he told a press conference.
"We won but we have to work on a couple of aspects of play. I completely share the club's idea of how to play, and we intent to recover some of the aspects of play from past seasons.
"In the first half we did everything necessary to score, we created five very good goalscoring chances.
"[But in the second half] Sevilla's substitutions hurt us but we managed to find space to close out the match but we didn't do it.
"Neymar played an impeccable match because not only did he go forward but he also defended.
"Messi started to get involved in favourable plays in the second half and he was very dangerous."

I set up a blog where I wanted the first post to display by itself at the top of the page in a different style, then the rest of the posts would be below it in a new section. This is working great, but when I click the navigation for the next page, it just shows that same posts again. How do I have the navigation continue to the next posts like normal, even though I did a query to start the loop?

Bruce Chen Finds Out Javier Baez Can Do Whatever He Wants
Bruce Chen was torched for five home runs (two by Javier Baez and one each by David DeJesus, Alfonso Soriano, and Alberto Gonzalez) over five innings, as the Cubs cruised to an 8-3 vistory over the Kansas City Royals in Cactus League action this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, AZ.
Baez took Chen deep with a solo HR onto the berm beyond the LF fence with two outs in the 1st, and then again with another solo HR (this one a Monster Jam) over the scoreboard and into the parking lot with two outs in the 5th, and has now hit four home runs in his last five plate appearances (he hit home runs in his final two PA versus Team Japan yesterday, including a walk-off two-run HR in the 9th).
LHP Hisanori Takahashi got the start for the Cubs and worked four solid innings (53 pitches - 15 strikes), allowing one run (a Mike Moustakas solo HR over the bullpens in RF) on five hits (three singles, a double, and the HR) and one walk, with one strikeout and a 7/3 GO/FO. He also picked a runner off 1st base.
The Cubs have stretched-out Takahashi as a starter over his past three appearances, and while he seems to be suited for that role, there does not appear to be a spot for Takahashi in the Cubs starting rotation at this time, even if Matt Garza (strained lat) and Scott Baker (TJS rehab) are not ready to start the season. The Cubs might have a "piggy-back" role in mind for Takahashi, where he would follow Scott Baker to the mound if Baker does not have his pitch count up to necessary levels by the end of Spring Training. (Baker would start the game and go as far as he can, and then Takahashi would follow and pitch multiple innings if necessary).
RHRP Michael Bowden took the mound in the 5th and pitched two shutout innings (26 pitches - 18 strikes), allowing two hits (a triple and a single) and no walks. He struck out two (the last two hitters he faced), and got the other four outs on pop ups or fly balls.
Bowden has pitched OK (not great but not bad) so far in Cactus League games, but he has an advantage over most of the other contenders for middle relief jobs in the Cubs bullpen because he is out of minor league options and thus cannot be sent to the minor without being exposed to Outright Assignment Waivers (which are irrevovable), but even if waivers were to be secured, Bowden can refuse an Outright Assignment and elect free-agency because he has been outrighted previously in his career. So the Cubs have to make sure to get a good read on what Bowden has to offer now and in the near future.
Shawn Camp followed Bowden and labored through a 27-pitch (only 12 strikes) 7th. Camp surrendered a single and a walk to start the inning, and eventually allowed a run on a two-out infield single, but at least he was able to get out of the inning without further damage.
Kyuji Fujikawa pitched the 8th inning and allowed a run on two hits (a lead-off double by Brandon Wood, a single, and an 8-6 RBI FC where CF Dave Sappelt just missed making a spectacular diving catch, but still was able to get to his feet in time to make an accurate throw to 2nd base that forced the runner who was on 1st).
Carlos Marmol worked a fast 1-2-3 9th (two deep fly ball outs and an infield pop up).
Six of their eight Cub runs resulted from the five home runs (Soriano hit a two-run dinger, and the other four were solo shots).
The Cubs scored another run in the 3rd, as Alfonso Soriano walked and later scored on a throwing error by the KC second-baseman, and collected their final tally of the day in the 6th on a two-out Justin Bour RBI ground single through the box that followed hits by Rafael Lopez and Christian Villanueva.
The Cubs made several roster moves yesterday, optioning IF-OF Junior Lake to Iowa, 3B Christian Villanueva to Tennessee, and OF Jorge Soler to Daytona, although they can continue to play in MLB Cactus League games (Villanueva and Soler played in the game at HoHoKam Park today, but Lake will be out 4-6 weeks with a rib injury).
The reason those moves had to be made yesterday is that normally an injured player cannot be optioned to the minors, but the one exception is a player who did not accrue any MLB Service Time the previous season, as long as the player is optioned to the minors no later than the 16th day prior to MLB Opening Day (which was yesterday).
By optioning Lake, Villanueva, and Soler to the minors yesterday (and Matt Szczur, Trey McNutt, Logan Watkins, and Rob Whitenack earlier this week), the Cubs covered themselves in case any of the seven (none of whom accrued MLB Service Time last season) are injured prior to being optioned (as happened with Lake) or in an MLB Cactus League Spring Training game.
If the Cubs did not option the seven to the minors by yesterday's deadline, they would be taking a risk that the player could be injured prior to MLB Opening Day. And if that happened, the Cubs would have to place the player on their MLB 15-day or 60-day Disabled List and pay the player at the MLB salary rate (about $2,650 per day), rather than the lesser minor league "split salary" rate (about $430 per day for Lake and Szczur, and about $215 per day for the others), with the player also accruing MLB Service Time for days spent on an MLB DL during the MLB regular season (which could eventually affect when the player would be eligible for salary arbitration and/or free-agency).
But because they were optioned to the minors by yesterday's deadline, any of the seven can be placed on the Disabled List of the minor league club to which the player was optioned. And this is exactly what will happen with Junior Lake. He will be placed on the AAA Iowa DL at the start of the season (and be paid at the minor league "split salary" rate), will probably spend about a month at Extended Spring Training at Fitch Park while getting back into playing shape, and then will be reactivated when he is ready to play.
I know they're projecting
I know they're projecting Baez and Soler to join the Cubs in 2025 or something, but I get a strong feeling Baez is going to get up to the big leagues more quickly than a lot of people are saying. That said, Theo was on WGN today during the game saying he likes to see minor leaguers get a bazillion ABs, so who knows. Still, I saw that home run today and the dude really smacked it.
On another note, during the WBC the MLB network did an at bat comparison of Rizzo and Josh Hamilton, and they looked like twins at the plate with their swings. Kinda fun.
Theo should just respond
Theo should just respond "service time service time service time." I don't think there's any chance of seeing Baez up before June 2014 on a non-September roster.

A period after the 2014 would have sufficed. No need to rush things.

Two of them surprised me- RHP Arturo Maltos-Garcia and RHP Austin Urban. You mentioned Urban recently as having finally pitched and looking good. Plus Maltos-Garcia was a TJ rehab guy who had put up really nice numbers prior to the injury and I believe was given a higher than normal bonus. Any word on if the report is true and why they would have been cut.

Is anyone else bugged by the
Is anyone else bugged by the numerous media stories that report that Almora's hamate bone was being removed? As I understand Dr. Hecht's description, only the fractured hook fragment was being taken out -- not the entire hamate. The removal of the entire hamate would be another thing entirely. Sloppy reporting. OK -- end of pet peeve rant.
Sorry to go all medical lingo on everyone but (I don't have time to soften this post up)...
Excision of the hamate bone in it's entirety is not done because it would destabilize both the 4th and 5th metacarpal connection to the wrist. If you watch the last link from my Hamate article one more time (the video slideshow), the presenter discusses fractures of the body of the hamate (which would be what you are referring to as 'entire' hamate) and shows techniques to fix that fracture with temporary wire fixation. The hamate body is never excised and if it were that comminuted (shattered) they would let it heal with some distortion (or with supplemental bone graft) but would still put pins in to keep the alignment of the 4-5th metacarpals to nearby wrist bones intact. The key is to keep the stability to the adjacent metacarpals as they are important in power grip (as opposed to fine detail grip coming from the 2-3rd metacarpals).
The hook of the hamate IS excised because when fractured. It typically does not heal as the area of fracture impairs the local blood supply to the hook portion of the bone and the healing of bone to bone just won't occur (called a nonunion or malunion). Thus leaving residual tenderness in the palm and making it painful when gripping a bat. The anatomic functions lost when it is excised are small.
The hook of the hamate is an attachment site for a portion of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) which is a support for the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is seen on the cross sectional CT imaging (also a previous link in the article) and all the flexor tendons and the median nerve pass underneath the ligament. The TCL is divided longitudinally when carpal tunnel syndrome surgery is performed to relieve pressure on the entire carpal tunnel contents and specifically the median nerve. On the little finger side of the hook of the hamate are the ulnar artery and nerve. Removing the hook does not affect them unless the surgeon isn't careful about those structures. Local ulnar nerve damage is one of the complications of this surgery and fortunately it is a rare event.
That was pretty much my
That was pretty much my understanding after viewing the links you gave and reading your post. None of the procedures illustrated a removal of the hamate. In fact, they seemed to emphasize the lengths a surgeon would take to fix the fracture with wire fixation in the case of a fracture of the body of the hamate.

"Scott Baker woke up with elbow soreness Monday after his Cactus League debut and will undergo an MRI."
Because the fees for MRI's
Because the fees for MRI's are so high ($2500-$3500 for one or two views without contrast), it seems to me like some of this is just padding the radiologists pockets as well as the owners of the technology. I wonder who bears these expenses anyway? 100% on the Club? It is insane now, but I guess they just protect themselves - and to a lesser extent - "the investment".
Too bad Gayle Sayers didn't have all this technology available to him.

Also too bad that my dad didn't have current cancer fighting technology available to him in 1967 when he developed Hodgkin's lymphoma. I'm grateful for medical advances and it's a bittersweet feeling to think of what was lost to medical conditions that nowadays would be considered almost routine.

Another good site I don't know has ever been considered would be Milwaukee. Midwesterners in March are starved for legitimate competitive baseball.
Milwaukee would be great.
Milwaukee would be great. Lots of hotel rooms, good food, good local beer,and saloons on Blue Mound Road that would love to have business at this time of year. BTW, try Burke's, new on Blue Mound; my daughter and family live around the corner and really like the food, drink, and vibe. WBC would be great for them. (Milw also has lots of Asian and Latin-American restaurants, and if Serbia ever fields a team, they'd find a place to eat.)

Stewart to DL with fluid in quad, Baker's throwing program shutdown
so they should start the season with this rotation that goes 2 deep (maybe 3 if you really like Feldman): Samardzija, Jackson, Feldman, Wood, Villanueva
and then a lineup that will try to score runs wth Valbuena, Barney, Castillo and a pitcher taking up 45% of the Ab's...
I give myself until May 1st to still be interested in the daily outcome of games.
This is the risk with signing
This is the risk with signing "rehabbing" players. In most cases the player gets paid anyway. The Club gets nothing. What a great country!
The team has the makings of 90+ losses again.

and despite my disappointment on wasting yet another season, I do think they're well on their way to building that perenial winner that we all wish for...

MLB Owners...still evil
"The first attempt to do so
"The first attempt to do so (eliminate pensions of non-uniform wearing personnel), initiated last year by a small-market owner, never came to a vote after Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf chastised his brethren for being petty with the lives of ordinary people given the riches produced by the sport."
I had a friend who worked for both the White Sox and the Bulls -- he said that Reinsdorf was a generous and fair guy to work for and treated his employees well.
have heard he's good to his
have heard he's good to his employees, except those that put on a uniform :)
He seems to detest the player union...but glad he has some ounce of morality in those rich, old bones of his.
I always thought he should
I always thought he should have given Jordan a chunk of the Bulls, but to a guy like Reinsdorf that's probably communist. But overall he seems to pay pretty good at the professional sports level, and he's got quite a few championships under his belt. As Chicago owners go, as much as I'm not crazy about the white sox (I don't hate them, either - my family had too many sox fans as I grew up on the south side - I was the lone rebel in fact), he's been pretty good.
"but to a guy like Reinsdorf

good look at minor league
good look at minor league park factors...
FSL hardest league to score runs in over the last 5 years...good luck Baez and Soler.
PCL is very hitting friendly, although Principal Park is near the bottom as a run scoring environment
Southern League is about the middle to slightly conservative, although the Smokies park is the friendliest hitting environment in that league (or least friendly pitching environment depending on your point of view)
FSL very unfriedly as mentioned, although Jackie Robinson skews slightly hitter friendly for the league
Midwest League around the same as Southern League, Chiefs park is near the bottom and Kane County isn't much better
Northwest League is quite hitter friendly, no ballpark factors were listed though.
"Cubs acquired OF Jose Dore
"Cubs acquired OF Jose Dore from the Padres for a player to be named later or cash considerations."

Levine says don't expect
Levine says don't expect Marmol or Soriano traded before the start of the season, particularly because of all the injuries. Cubs looking for utility player that can play both infield and outfield.
better showing for tonight's
better showing for tonight's WBC final in SF...could be better, though.
looks like they have 10-15K...it's a bit hard to tell, though the park is filled out a lot more tonight (especially in the bleachers and lower levels).
Recent comments
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.

Barack Obama: Clean energy will deliver the jobs of the future
By: MJ Lee May 7, 2011 09:22 AM EDT
For the third weekend in a row, President Barack Obama used his weekly address to the nation on Saturday to promote his energy agenda, calling clean energy jobs the jobs of the future.
Speaking from the Allison Transmission plant in Indianapolis, where he visited on Friday, Obama lauded the workers at the hybrid technology manufacturing company for doing big and impressive things.
The clean energy jobs at this plant are the jobs of the future jobs that pay well right here in America, the president said. And in the years ahead, its clean energy companies like this one that will keep our economy growing, create new jobs, and make sure America remains the most prosperous nation in the world.
On Friday, Obama renewed his call for an end to tax subsidies for oil companies, saying profitable firms in the industry dont need the extra $4 billion of tax benefits every year. If youre already paying them at the pump, we dont need to pay them through the tax code, the president said, echoing the topic of last weeks address. Especially at a time when were scouring every part of the budget to try to figure out how we bring down our deficit and our debt.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
he is honestly delusional
Didn't I read somewhere that a number of these green-energy enterprises are going belly-up?
Another government boondoggle, paid for by our tax dollars. Obama is truly trying to destroy this country.
Another intangible. More BS — no substance. This guy is totally beatable in 2012.
No one on the left has a clue how the real economy works.
Geez....He's a total a**.
We can't windmill our way out of this mess.
Atlas is shrugging at comments like this.
Guess we all need to move to China and the 3rd world countries to get one of these wonderful jobs...it's where pollution is rampant!
Yeah, we will all be harvesting plants for bio fuel similar to what the Khamer Rouge did in Cambodia. To the fields you all as the great one flies over head onto his next vacation.
Sheesh! I didn't realize that we were "scouring every part of the budget" to see if we could find a way to bring down our debt??
Where in the heck was I when all this was going on??
He's trying to fabricate companies out of nothing and under government control. It has never worked and never will. The USSR tried this and look what happened to them. They went broke.
He has uttered this nonsense over and over. WE don't need "jobs of the future", we need jobs now (in case has has chosen to, or failed to read the latest official job numbers (which understate the REAL unemployment numbers by a significant margin).
The next big bubble to burst will be the green bubble.
Well, I believe in the Second Coming also.
Thing is, only the Father knows the day and the hour.
Still, I'd bet that the Second Coming comes before "clean energy" becomes economically practical.
Well that just sounds hunky-dory. Clean energy jobs...I'm convinced this guy really knows what he's talking about.
Everyone wants clean energy jobs (probably run by robots) To hell with our farms, our way of life as we know it and our freedoms to choose.
Let's all rejoice in the Fascist Coming and those 'clean energy jobs' by golly.
Dirty energy would provide jobs for the present.
I'm not confident in the Republicans aside from Palin and I know that this old dog isn't going to lie down for anyone. Things are going to come to a head real quick. I highly recommend that people who value their freedom and liberty begin making preparations.
He only wasted one trillion dollars on this and now he wants another trillion or two so we can be energy independent.
This man is sick and getting sicker.
Kudos to Bob Grant.
Delusionally demented....defines liberalism as a "mental illness"....
The last time I heard from him, he was encouraging Brazil to drill, emphasizing that we would be their "best customer".
Note to self: Pick up some Tums.
he's going after China next. /s
Where do you even begin when someone is this stupid?
IMO, RATs are jumping off this sinking Liberal RAT ship. I would anticipate more and more leaks. Anyone agree?
A couple of things working against that theory:
1. Republicans of recent have a penchant for picking read turds for candidates that couldn't win their way out of a wet paper sack (because they are limp-wristed RINOs who won't stand and stay put on principals- and far too many of the current "favorites" fall into that category).
2. Never underestimate the power of a stupid/ignorant/lazy electorate. Remember, 52%+ of voters (living and dead) voted for the Bummer we have in office today no matter how bad things are in the economy. They will fall for the same tired rhetoric and lies that they keep falling for (as well as the threats of loss of their juicy entitlements).
You have to have lots of "jobs" in order for there to be much of a demand for energy in the first place.
The old saying goes, "When you are getting run out of town, try to get out front and make it look like a parade." Obama has promoted his "clean energy jobs of the future" lie continuously hoping that we will begin to believe it. What the dummy is trying to hide is the fact that we need jobs now. Something that he has failed to stimulate even after tripling our deficit.
Drilling, coal mining, gas and oil pipelines, new and additional refining capacity, enhanced crude oil recovery from existing wells, restoration of deep water exploration, and other related domestic fossil fuel endeavors financed by private capital will provide jobs now—not in the future.
His is not an energy concern. His is an ideological pursuit. He achieved his goal of $4/gallon gasoline much sooner than even he expected. It will lead to his political demise.
Obama's vision for the U. S. is called socialism which is just one step away from communism.
We can see clearly. He thinks we can't. We showed him in November, 2010 and we will show him again in November, 2012.
The kindest interpretation of Obama and his continued promotion of green jobs is based on the inescapable conclusion that he is ever clueless, completely oblivious to reality.
Additionally, a second and more sinister motive for his continued pushing of green jobs appears increasingly more likely.
The green bubble doesn't exist without federal dollars. Since we are out of federal dollars to prop these boondoggles up, the bubble can't grow without market speculation and nobody (with brains) is putting money in it except the moron in the white hut.
That would make a great bumper sticker!
There isn't going to be a future the way things are going now!
Yes, yes he is...
I don't hear this mantra from the same sources against the Ethanol producers - which is subsidized on several levels - direct subsidies, not just tax credits or deductions.
The farmers receive direct subsidies
The ethanol "brewers" receive subsidies
And the distributors get tax breaks
And we still pay the same amount of tax per gallon at the pump - regardless of how much ethanol content the fuel has.
What amazes me - E85 (some nasty stuff) use to be available at the pump for something around 40-60 cents per gallon less than regular unleaded (where I use to buy fuel). The primary reason was tax breaks/subsidies . So what happened to that? Last time I looked, E85 was only 10-15 cents "cheaper" per gallon. And when you figure in the 30% (on average) loss in fuel economy - you are paying a HUGE premium to burn fuel with less energy. To even come CLOSE to making ANY sense to the consumer (regardless of supposed or perceived environmental "greenness" ), the price of E85 would have o be less than 2/3 the cost of regular unleaded to "equal out" the out-of-pocket fuel cost. To make any plausible impact beyond, we are looking at closer to 1/2 the cost. Yet that isn't the case. Even with massive subsidies, that isn't feasible today, or in the future because we are paying for the fuel cost in other ways (our taxes used for subsidies, higher food/grocery/and goods costs, etc.).
Ethanol, wind, solar and electric cars, etc. will never be viable economic or practical alternatives to replace good old fossil fuel technology. You can't wish it so or base economic policy on it either. At some point you have to recognize this reality or destroy forward progress.
Scour? How about passing a 2006 Pre-Pelosi/Reid budget...and then start cutting from there?
Cleaning you out of the White Hut will deliver some jobs of the future too.
Cleaning you out of the White Hut will deliver some jobs of the future too.
This nitwit is sick beyond belief and those that support him are equally just as sick.
I just can't wait until this nitwit loser (aka: nobama) is long gone. Green jobs????? Ask Spain.
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America. nobama is the Destroyer.
Everything nobama does is intentional.
There is nothing honest about him in any way.
More lies from the prince of lies.
Honestly. No sarcasm. Whenever I still catch a whiff of it in the morning, it smells like . . . prosperity.
Bet GE keeps Obama on a very short leash.

(ABCNews) -- Leaders from flood-damaged Cedar Rapids, Iowa were in Grand Forks, North Dakota Tuesday talking about recovery.
City and business officials from both towns toured downtown Grand Forks to
see how that city recovered from flooding.
Eleven years ago, the Red River swelled and destroyed most of the city's
infrastructure, but with the help of architects and other specialists, the town
was able to bounce back. Now they're sharing what they've learned with
other cities suffering through the same.
Damage estimates due to flooding in Cedar Rapids are at one-billion dollars
right now. That total could rise in the coming days as people come back to
assess the damage.

Soca originally combined the melodic lilting sound of calypso with American soul(SOulCAlypso:SOCA) and the cadence music fromDominica and the French Antilles. The presence of a large Indian population in Trinidad blended traditional western jazz instruments and Indian musical instruments—particularly the dholak, tabla and dhantal—as demonstrated in Shorty's classic compositions "Ïndrani" and "Shanti Om". The influence of Spanish music from Venezuela also crept into the art form
Every region that Africans were sent to developed a form of Calypso, blending West African Highlife music with new beats. Eastern Caribbean and Belizean beats tended to be much faster than the slower "chip chip" music of Trinidad. Soca changed the bass line from a free flowing bass to a syncopated stuttering bass. Ras Shorty I is credited with this innovation.
Soca has evolved in the last 20 years primarily by musicians from various Anglophone Caribbean countries including Trinidad, Guyana,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, United States Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, The Bahamas, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica, Belize and Panama. The speed is now indistinguishable across the region. Many variations exist including groovy soca, party soca, rapso, chutney and a host of others.
Calypso Music
Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid 20th century. It lays it roots in theWest African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from Dominica and Martinique.
The music, which drew upon African and French influences, became the voice of the people, and was characterized by highly rhythmic and harmonic vocals, which was most often sung in a French creole and led by a griot. As calypso developed, the role of the griot (originally a similar traveling musician in West Africa) became known as a chantuelle and eventually, calypsonian. As English replaced patois (creole French) as the dominant language, calypso migrated into English, and in so doing it attracted more attention from the government. It allowed the masses to challenge the doings of the unelected Governor and Legislative Council, and the elected town councils of Port of Spain andSan Fernando. Calypso continued to play an important role in political expression, and also served to document the history of Trinidad and Tobago.
The French brought Carnival to Trinidad, and calypso competitions at Carnival grew in popularity, especially after the abolition of slavery in 1834. While most authorities stress the African roots of calypso, in his 1986 book, Calypso from France to Trinidad: 800 Years of History, that veteran calypsonian, The Roaring Lion (Rafael de Leon) asserted that calypso descends from the music of the medieval Frenchtroubadours.
