EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
Some of you might be happy to know this, but more might not be...
Scott Eyre, on the DL since the last week of Spring Training with a sore elbow, has progressed beyond just throwing side sessions in the bullpen. While the EXST Cubs were playing the EXST A's on Fitch Park Field #3, Eyre threw a 25-pitch "live" BP session on Field #2 to some of the Cub position players who were not in the starting lineup of the EXST game.
While we all know Eyre is not the pitcher he was three years ago, he did appear to throw the ball OK today, mixing a decent fastball with a "big league" slider the Cub youngsters will rarely see in Minor League Camp or Extended Spring Training.
Eyre is at the point in his rehab where pitchers are just before the start of Spring Training games (throwing "live" BP), but since he's a relief pitcher who usually pitches only one inning, he probably could get himself ready to rejoin the Cubs after just a couple or three rehab game outings.
Of course, that would be dependent on whether or not he has any setbacks in his rehab. And if he does continue to progress without any setbacks, it still must be determined if his rehab game outings will be at Fitch Park (EXST) or will begin at a full season stop or stops (Peoria, Daytona, Tennessee, or Iowa) yet TBD.
Eyre did say that his "live" BP session today "felt good," although he admitted that might have been due to the medication he's been taking.
In other injury news at EXST, RHP Alberto Alburquerque underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on Monday, and RHP Rafael Dolis (2007 TJ surgery) has been shutdown after developing a sore shoulder. When Dolis will start throwing again is unknown.
On the bright side, Leon Johnson (finger) and Jeffrey Rea (sore arm) are about back to full strength, and both will likely be leaving Fitch Park for a full-season affiliate (probably Peoria) very soon. So if I'm Peoria 2B Nathan Samson (BA in the .130's), or 1B-OF Drew Rundle (3 for last 35 with 13 K), or LF Dylan Johnston (0 for last 15 with 11 K), I might start to worry just a bit.
The fact that Rundle had been demoted from Peoria to Boise-Mesa during Minor League Camp, only to get a last minute reprieve when Johnson got hurt just prior to the Chiefs leaving Arizona, might not be a good predictor for Rundle remaining at Peoria.
And if the Peoria Chiefs ar looking for a first-baseman, Bryan Jost has been on a tear at EXST.
A 2007 draft-eligible sophomore picked in the 44th round out of the University of Minnesota and signed (he fell due to signability concerns) just before the August 15th deadline for signing Rule 4 draftees, Jost suffered a season-ending knee injury in the AZ Instructional League in October, and was limited to light activities at Minor League Camp in March (BP and fielding OK, but no sliding). But he's cleared for "full contact" now, and it looks like he's trying to make up for lost time, as he went 3-3 today with a single, a double, and a triple, as well as making a couple of nice scoops at first-base.
Speaking of today's EXST game, the Cubs jumped out to a 6-0 lead, with starter Marcus Hatley throwing three shutout innings. But then the A's came back against the Cubs bullpen (F. Acosta, Carmona, and Rojas) to take a 7-6 lead in the 6th, before Nelson Perez hit a game-winning two-run HR 430+ feet over the CF fence in the bottom of the 8th. John Muller then pitched a shutout 9th for the save.
If a replacement pitcher is needed at Peoria or Daytona in the next few days or weeks, and it's not one of the rehab guys like Todd Blackford or Billy Muldowney, expect to see Hatley or Muller get the call. Both right-handers are throwing the ball VERY well right now.
Both Hatley and Muller are converted position players, Hatley having played OF at Palomar JC, and Muller shortstop at St. Thomas Aquinas College.
The guy who hit the game-winning HR today (Nelson Perez) is an unsual case in the Cubs system, in that he was signed as a pitcher, but was converted to an outfielder.
Essentially, N. Perez is a left-handed hitting Ryan Harvey, an EXTREME first-ball fastball hitter with an aversion to breaking balls and change-ups, but with the power to hit a ball half-way to Apache Junction.
Also like Harvey, N. Perez has one of the top two outfield arms in the Cubs organization (11 outfield assists in just 2-1/2 months at AZL Mesa in 2007). He also bears an uncanny physical resemblance to a young Sammy Sosa.
Like Felix Pie, Nelson Perez is another one of Alfonso Soriano's Dominican proteges. During Spring Training, Soriano befriended the youngster, giving him bats, gloves, shoes, and a case of batting gloves.
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):
1. Leon Johnson, CF-LF: 1-2 (2B, 2-3 SH, BB + CS, K-s)

7 at the game today? Sounds like the crowds are starting to build on ya Phil.
Re: EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
phil was "down" when it was real and underground...now the crowds are twice the size and it's getting worse than the bleachers at wrigley.
bet he misses the good ol' days when he could park 3 spaces closer to the field.
heck, soon the line for the bathroom will be...well...one will exist.

I live in South Bend and plan on attending the series versus the Peoria Chiefs that goes from Friday, May 2 through Sunday. I'll try to ask you a day or two ahead of the series, but I would love to hear any tips on players to watch for, etc. I'm going to try to get behind the Chiefs dugout and take some pictures, keep score, eat nachos and drink like 10 beers/game. Thanks in advance for your help
Re: EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
You want a tip? How about taking your pictures before drinking the ten beers. :)

Holy crap, I forgot all about Scott Eyre.
Soriano: Not the Hop
I have a feeling some TCR readers will disagree...
Re: Soriano: Not the Hop
there's some extraordinarily intelligent commentary under that trib blog post. Sheesh.
Re: Cubs Offense
The offense continues to carry the pitching (even with Sori out, Aram underperforming, Pie struggling, etc.). Top 5 in MLB in runs scored and Top 10 in home runs.
Lets get that pitching in shape!
Re: EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
Does anyone know what time the extended spring training actitivites start? I'd like to add to the group of seven watching.
Re: EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
Phil, I see Randy Wells is now listed on the Iowa Cubs roster under the category of "reserved". Does hat mean that the Cubs have now reaquired him? Thanks.
Re: EXST Cubs Rally to Beat A's, Eyre Throws "Live" BP
Glad to see Mr Wells is back for the Cubs sake.

The official police report on Chapman:
You can draw your own conclusions.
Where is he going to play for the Cubs?
That was, ummmm, you know. A joke?
Even from an on-field perspective, Torres is a 19-year-old beating up High-A pitching who also plays a great SS. Even if he never develops a legit MLB power stroke, he's still an obvious 4-tool guy with a very high floor. Sucks to trade away his next 6-8 years for a closer, albeit a great one.
"Like the Chapman deal for Cubs from on-field POV, wish I didn't now have to feel lousy following an otherwise likable Cubs team." @jonahkeri
pretty much sums up my feelings
You mean Yankees?
Cards lose!
You do have a point. The TheoJed certainly would need to address this in a transparent way. Milton Bradley was no help to the team.
FWIW, the Cubs would get a compensation draft pick between the 1st & 2nd rounds (around #35) if they extend a Qualifying Offer to Chapman post-2016 (probably about $17M), Chapman declines, and then he signs with another MLB club before next year's draft.
This all assumes Chapman doesn't want to be a free agent and possibly sign a $20MM+/year deal. We all know free agents get overpaid, sometimes dramatically (Hello, JayHey!). Not sure why Chapman would agree to the extension. If i'm is agent, I would tell him I could get I'm a $100M deal as a FA.
I'll root for the uniform and imagine it's left-handed Rod Beck or Randy Myers out there I suppose.
Amen to this. I guess it's gonna happen and I'm gonna have to suck it up but I really despise domestic abusers with every bone in my body and cannot stand them on any team I root for.
I just prefer they don't acquire players that choke their wives/girlfriends.
So you'd rather go with Blown Save guy, when you can trade a prospect who is blocked for one piece that could get you over the top to the Big Dance? That is pretty old thinking. This is not a move that they cannot recover from if it goes south. But the upside is potentially historic.
I'd prefer it not happen too.
it's a hell of a blockbuster, but it's for a guy who pitches 1/3rd of a season at an extreme premium considering the guy being traded and if the early extension $$$ rumors are true.
it's one of those things that is bringing a guy at the top his game, but something is nagging me that this trade piece could have been put to better use.
a huge part of me is all "hell yeah, top of the line producer"...another part of me is "hmm, that for that?"

AbstractTraditional Cathodoluminescence (CL) tools are limited to the Near Infrared (NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Commercially available NIR CL tools are useful for studying wide bandgap semiconductors like CdTe. However, narrow gap materials such as Mid and Long Wavelength infrared (MWIR and LWIR) HgCdTe have spectral energies outside the limits of traditional CL tools. A design proposal for a CL characterization tool for the study of defects in HgCdTe is outlined. Phase I is to design MWIR and LWIR CL tool that can be mounted on a traditional analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM). The detector cutoff wavelength, spectral response, detectivity and ease of design incorporation into the proposed CL setup will all be used as design criteria to choose the final detector(s). A computer aided design (CAD) based layout and design of the CL setup will be part of the final tool design. The layout will be a compact design to increase the photon collection efficiency and increase the resolution of the CL spectra and imaging capability. The design will also include a layout for the proposed collection and analysis software that will need to be developed for this project.

Low to mid level moisture will increase across the northwest Gulf and portions of south Texas tonight into Tuesday as the upper level feature moves westward. Subsidence will diminish across the lower TX coast tonight into Tuesday as a result and isolated to scattered convection will develop offshore tonight and inland Tuesday as the outflow from showers and thunderstorms across the upper TX coast this afternoon provide a focus for additional convection to develop. In addition...the seabreeze front Tuesday will also provide a focus for convection to develop across the lower TX coast early Tues afternoon and further inland Tues afternoon as the seabreeze front moves westward. Will continue to mention a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight and chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday as a result. && .Long Term (Wednesday through Monday): A strong ridge will remain positioned over Arizona and over the western North Atlantic while a weakness inbetween the respective height centers will be positioned over Louisiana and will extend north somewhat into the central plains and south toward the CWA. The weakness will favor isolated showers for the lower Texas coastal waters for a majority of the period through Saturday. As the weakness fills and the mid level ridges merge into one system spanning the entire Gulf Coast area, somewhat drier weather will develop for the CWA Saturday night through Monday. However, minor convective activity over the west Gulf will be almost unavoidable given the anticyclonic surface circulation pulling moisture up from the south. With no significant weather feature to focus on during the period, went with a standard model blend. Day time high temperatures and overnight low temps will remain near to slightly above normal for the entire forecast period. && .MARINE: Tonight through Tuesday night...Seas were near 2 feet with south winds near 8 knots at buoy020 this afternoon.

Race and ethnicity map shows increasing gentrification of northwest Denver
"I'm a map guy," says Brian Timoney of The Timoney Group. So when he saw the gusher of data from the 2010 census, he couldn't resist putting together a color-coded map showing the racial and ethnic changes that have taken place from Pueblo to Fort Collins over the past decade. As for Denver, he says major shifts have taken place in the northwest part of the city.
"Those are the big trends," Timoney says. "I'm a resident in northwest Denver, and the increased white presence east of Federal Boulevard -- between Federal and I-25 -- shows that a huge amount of gentrification has happened."
A wide-angle look at the map. Click to enlarge.
Timoney stresses that he has no agenda in regard to the data shown on the map -- but he can certainly perceive its potential public policy implications. Consider that "Council District 1 actually lost population, while the rest of the city grew by something like 8 percent. And that's because the dynamic is changing, with working-class Hispanic households with lots of people in them being displaced by white households with relatively few people in them. So we saw not only a population shift, but an ethnic shift.
"From a political standpoint, the really fascinating pattern is the African-American presence in the City of Denver, which has become less concentrated," he continues. "If you look at neighborhoods like Park Hill, North Park Hill and the areas above City Park, you see that they're much more mixed. And a large part of Denver's population growth is taking place in the far northeast, in places like Montbello and Green Valley Ranch, where a lot of the new construction has taken place. There's a huge increase in the Hispanic presence there."

T. Boone Pickens Is No Longer a Billionaire, Forbes Says
You don't hear T. Boone Pickens talk much about wind energy, once the cornerstone of his plan for U.S. energy independence. It's not so much that he's given up on the idea of wind as a key component of the country's future energy portfolio as that his recent forays into the market have been disastrous.
In Texas, his plan for the world's largest wind farm was tripped up by the recession and regulatory hurdles. The investment he made instead, in a proposed Minnesota wind farm, went little better.
He summed it up nicely in an interview last year with MSNBC's Morning Joe: "I've lost my ass in the business."

He's also lost many, many millions of dollars, enough that Forbes has officially stripped him of the billionaire mantle, knocking his net worth down to $950 million.

Posted on 10/09/2002 3:14:53 AM PDT by Peach
Another press conference due soon. To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news that comes from press conferences, thought we'd keep a live commentary thread going again today.
Good question. The moon is quite symbolic in tarot card reading. The freeper who drafted the crescent moon from the killing map may not have been so far off the mark. The death card - death to who? Death to men? women? children? the elderly? whites? blacks? hispanics? asians? Or simply put -- death to Americans. I wouldn't so readily dismiss the recent al qaeda threats. Who ever is doing this is a ruthless trained killer, such as one might find in a training camp in Afghanistan
Damn I wonder if Montgomery County police department pays well...?
Now, if the Tarot thing is accurate, and if the words on the card mean anything, the next victim should be a priest...who is the 'King'...??
Also heard a brief report on last night's local news that at one point during the day yesterday, MOOSE had requested 'EXTRA' security during his press conf...hmmm...did he have knowledge of the Tarot thing, and did he wonder if HE might be the 'King'...??
Nice maplettes.
Hmmm... for an Irish Traveler who makes his living on "repair" scams, the glare of national attention in the wake of the Toogood case may have been the equivalent of getting fired from a normal job, and could have same results on a borderline mental case....
Glendenning's statements border on the truly irresponsible. In this litigious society, he's just inviting major lawsuits against the state of MD if his ill-considered remarks prompt another sniper attack.
The public officials involved in this (Chief Moose, Glendenning) are revealing (in my opinion) how poorly some of these local organizations are being led. Chief Moose is clearly in over his head. I'm surprised this problem hasn't been "federalized" although I know you need to leave responsibility for crime at the local level. If I lived in Montgomery or Prince George's Counties, I'd be very concerned about my local leadership.
I was wondering the same thing. And how would you know if it were reversed, once you got to the scene?
Of course it could..Mike Buchanan made this connection:"ooohhh, the taxi of the cab driver that was killed had the name "President" written on it..Personally,I think that has no connection..The 'King' would have to represent a high authority figure...even higher than ole Moosey..
I don't know if you've seen this but here are the pictures of the victims. No pattern here.
Far too much maturity and shooting talent for the perp to be young.
This guy has spent considerable time at the shooting range, and has detailed knowledge of marksmanship, law enforcement procedures, and anatomy. No way he's some punk twerp, or he would have screwed up long before now.
Or King George County?
But from which direction? From the sniper's shooting spot, looking towards the school, or from LE perspective walking towards the shoot spot?
Know what I mean?
Didn't the Secret Service just enter the case?
Absolutely, this is NO kid.....
I think it was just announced with a cover story of sorts in the last two days that the 'President's Secret Service has entered the case.
Would strongly resent that reference. In Islam, Allah is all-powerful, and thus would never take human form. For that reason Jesus Christ is relegated to the status of prophet (subordinate to Muhammad, of course). "I am God" would be outrageous blasphemy to a Muslim.
Same here. I've heard before that some snipers get this "God" complex because they feel a lot of power from the whole situation. Somebody else posted on this thread that the profilers said something about that last night. I could totally understand that.
See my post #94 Last night I posted my theory about the current Sony playstation interactive game with the SNIPER theme being related in this case..I'm told this is a VERY intense and addicive game..Pete then commented that apparently in the movie "Navy Seals", the nickname of the sniper was GOD... A look needs to be taken at the seals link...
I agree that he is a trained killer, but the amount of training it would take to make the shots he's making is minimal. I'm getting tired of hearing people (even Hannity) saying how it takes "years of training" to be this "good." I tend to agree with the Navy Sniper I heard on TV yesterday saying you could just about train a monkey to do this kind of thing accurately.
One sick monkey, IMO! What we need are more people out there with concealed carry permits so they can effectively stop this guy when they see him.
Has anyone mentioned that this guy might be using a silencer as well, or has that been ruled out? I would think that would make it even easier to get closer and avoid detection.
As I understand, snipers who have 'years of training' are those that routinely make shots many times farther than this creep is making.
Didn't help at all. If his mother hadn't dimed him out, the police (at any level) never would have found him.
What's all this I keep hearing about Michael's? I take it's a store in America? Were all the victims patrons? Is this the same as being a WalMart's patron? I don't mean that snidely, I don't know what they sell at Michael's. Do they sell things there that only a select crowd would buy or would the average shopper be likely to visit the store if there were one in the area? If so, I don't see the connection- I mean even I have been in a WalMart's although I don't live in the USA. I would imagine most people in the WTC that day had been in one as well but I wouldn't see this as a connection.
How does the young boy fit into that? He was shot at school wasn't he? Sounds to me like the sniper was laying up waiting for the first good shot he could get at somebody at the school and he took the first thing that looked good to him.
Even if it did say 'God' that doesn't rule out that this could be a guy affiliated with Muslim terrorists.
'Allah' is just as generic a term for God as 'God.' But the comment about the guy in the movie being called 'God' I found interesting (haven't seen the movie yet).
Terrorists aren't stupid and they can play games, too.
Look. Just as (in my opinion) the anthrax killer is a DOMESTIC KOOK who purposely wrote those letters to Capitol Hill, the White House, the Supreme Court, with strange grammar and "Allah Ahkbar" to make it look like a foreigner did it, there is just as much an equal, reverse possibility that a savvy Islamist terrorist (who has been here for years or may even be an American) could set the stage for the planting of evidence to 'make it look like a DOMESTIC KOOK case.
I see these two cases, ANTHRAX and now MARYLAND SNIPER still as reverse of what they appear on the surface to be.
They didn't say.

Anthony Weiner's 'Carlos Danger' alter-ego commemorated with a line of $69 ties
Anthony Weiner's loss in last week's New York City Democratic mayoral primary has not squelched the world's endless supply of Carlos Danger jokes—the newest of which was announced on Wednesday.
Weiner's infamous sexting persona has now provided seeds of artistic influence to Vittorio J tie designer, Jesse Chao.
Chao, a 33-year-old New Jersey resident, has trumpeted a plan to commemorate Danger's scorned behavior with a special line of 'ties so sexy you don't need a shirt,' he explained in a release announcing the range's creation.
Taking inspiration: Vittorio J ties has issued a range of ties that are named for Carlos Danger (including the 'Weiner' tie, R), the sexting alter-ego of former mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner (L).
The collection's final outcome is still in the works, but Chao told MailOnline by phone on Thursday that he wants to 'keep them simple.'
Chao says he is holding out on the design's final appearance because he 'would love Anthony Weiner to design the ties [himself].'
His label has already 'sent [Weiner] a letter and we are just waiting to hear back,' with the disgraced politician's decision, he said.
Late Thursday evening, he rolled out a temporary collection on CarlosDangerTies.com, offering consumers a placeholder to the Weiner-produced designs that Chao hopes will prevail.
'I just thought it was the right time to put something out,' Chao told us on Friday morning, approximately twelve hours following our initial interview, a time at which he had no plans to release a Carlos Danger tie collection until hearing Weiner's response.
In character: Chao, who says he is no stranger to controversy, has previously publicized his ties on naked models
Overnight, a handful of classic plaid and striped designs materialized online. They are named for Weiner's disgraced acolytes including John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer, Monica Lewinsky, and David Petraeus, whose commemorative tie is spelled 'Patraeus'. There are also ties named for former Presidential hopefuls Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich, the choice of which Chao thought was 'funny.'
But while Chao quickly moved forward with his Carlos Danger concept, he still would like Weiner to step into a creative tie designing role.
'I want him to realize I'm out there and seeking his services, I want him to be the lead designer—I would creatively stand back to give him free range to design the ties,' he told us.
While Weiner does in fact seem eager for a comeback, it seems unlikely that he'd be willing to perpetuate the buzz surrounding his Carlos Danger alter-ego, which received more attention throughout his unsuccessful mayoral campaign than any of his political platforms.
Representatives for Anthony Weiner did not return MailOnline's request for comment on Chao's design project.
'Classic with an edge': Chao says that his ties, including the 'Patraeus' style (L) and the 'Lewinsky' style (R), express the 'very best of old-world tailoring and contemporary design'
If by chance Weiner accepted a consulting design role at Vittorio J, Chao would essentially place the reputation of his small business in the onetime mayoral frontrunner's hands.
While Chao described Weiner's style of dress as 'very conservative,' he feels that if the politician were allowed to express himself through tie design, the result would be 'definitely not something I want people to wear at work.'
When prompted to describe Weiner's potential designs, Chao responded: 'That is a scary question…I don't trust that he'll design something that's business appropriate, I don't know what's in his head.'
'I don't trust that he'll design something that's business appropriate, I don't know what's in his head'
Regardless of these opinions, Chao says he is OK with waging his success on Weiner's creative inclinations.
Ties in the Carlos Danger collection will sell for $69—a price point with sexually-charged inclinations that happened by pure coincidence, claims Chao.
He was also careful to note that Weiner's actions 'are something we don't condone so I don't want people to take the name [Carlos Danger] and think that I'm disrespecting someone, I want people to think it's kind of funny.'
On his own: Vittorio J founder Jesse Chao places a large emphasis on marketing his brand--a skill he says he learned while in residence at one of New York City's young designer markets
Chao's label, Vittorio J, began in 2006 with a small stall at a young designers' market in New York's NoLita neighborhood. The brand is now sold in 'four or five' stores in the United States, as well as online. He says he has sold approximately 6,000 ties in the last seven years, the designs of which he describes as 'classic with an edge.'
Chao says that working at the NoLita market taught him to focus on the marketing and PR side of his business. 'At the end of the day nobody knows about my designs, so I focus on getting exposure, I focus on getting a bigger social media following, and on getting attention through celebrities wearing my ties.'
'At the end of the day nobody knows about my designs, so I focus on getting exposure...'
He told us that as a young designer 'Everything is against you, you are meant to fail. So I'm working on getting my name out there to become a major brand one day.'
Chao says that the intentions behind his campaign to sign Weiner on as a designer are purely genuine. 'Publicity stunt is a very strong term, [Carlos Danger] is something we wanted to do for fun,' he told us.
Chao says that he is 'not the kind of person who would hold back from being controversial.'
He hopes that Weiner will make a personal contribution to his label, which he says offers the 'very best of old-world tailoring and contemporary design.'
While Weiner has not yet responded to his request, Chao feels like he has a good reason to answer.
'He doesn't have a job right now, so what else does he have to do?'

The Golden Turk
In Stores
The Golden Turk, or rather "De Vergulde Turk" as it is called in the Netherlands is a building in the Dutch City of Leyden (Leiden).
I constructed this building using pictures of the actual thing to make it look as real as possible.
The model is completely modular and connects to the modular LEGO models you can buy in stores. Like most of my models this model is deeper then the modular LEGO models but you can still connect it and will line up in the front. The base is 24 wide x 32 deep and the building it self is 24 x 24.
As I plan to make a building on the back that connects to it (the way it is in reality), I made the back completely closed for structural reasons and no interior yet.
I have seen some pictures on the Internet of someone else that has also recreated "The Golden Turk" , but that was actually after I made this model myself (no way to prove that though). Still...I hope you like it.
You can also see this project on my website: www.modularbrickcreations.nl.

What's new in the world of tax and business? Here we feature advice and information on the latest hot topics. To view our full archive of articles, please click here.
Brexit - what are the likely implications for business?
The new Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, David Davis, has recently indicated that formal Brexit negotiations could begin by the start of 2017 - so what could this mean for UK businesses?
It is important to note that in the short to medium term (until 2018 at least), there will not be any changes to tax and employment laws as a result of the vote.
However, once Britain's withdrawal is complete, VAT (which is operated in line with EU law) could be subject to some significant reforms. In theory, the UK could even decide to replace VAT with a sales tax on goods and services, although many experts agree that this is highly unlikely.
The UK currently faces restrictions from the EU over its ability to reduce VAT rates on certain goods and services such as domestic fuel and power. If the UK is no longer obliged to comply with the EU VAT Directive, the UK Government could choose to amend the legislation to apply different rates to goods and services without constraint.
If VAT were to be applied to items that were previously exempt, or if there are changes to the rates of VAT, the financial implications for business could be sizeable. Some commentators have also argued that potential changes to VAT law could lead to more obligations and complexities, and business owners may need to invest time and money adapting their procedures and processes accordingly.
Importing and exporting
The potential restrictions on the free movement of goods between the UK and its EU neighbours could also trigger significant changes to how businesses import and export.
For example, currently when a UK firm buys goods from an EU business it makes an 'acquisition'. The transaction does not result in any VAT being payable - a book entry in a VAT return being the only consequence, unless the UK business makes exempt supplies. However, following Brexit, the transaction is likely to be treated as an 'import' and import VAT would be paid to HMRC at the time of importation. Although this would be reclaimed by the business on the next VAT return (unless the business makes exempt supplies), the changes could have implications for the firm's cash flow.
Business reliefs
Once Britain leaves the EU, the UK Government could have greater control over business reliefs such as R&D tax credits for SMEs, which currently have constraints placed upon them due to EU State Aid rules. Britain may also gain more flexibility over the rules governing the Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital schemes.
Employment laws
With much employment legislation derived from Brussels, concerns have been raised over whether this is another area that could be open to reform. However, while the UK Government could choose to amend working rights, many experts have suggested that significant reforms are unlikely.
Other regulations
In a recent blog on the Conservative Home website, David Davis suggested that he will seek to cut red tape with the aim of making 'Britain a better place to do business'. He claimed the 'regulation already in place will stay for the moment,' but he added that the 'flood of unnecessary market and product regulation' will be halted. With fewer regulations to comply with, this could be good news for business owners.
A new Chancellor, a new economic policy
With a new Prime Minister and Chancellor at the helm, there could be significant changes to Britain's economic and fiscal policies in the months and years ahead.
The Government has already axed its plans to achieve a budget surplus by 2020, while the former Chancellor George Osborne suggested that corporation tax rates could be cut further to encourage investment. Of course, this may now change following the appointment of the new Chancellor, Philip Hammond, although we will have to wait until the Autumn Statement for further details on the Government's latest economic strategy.
The dust may be settling on the EU referendum result, but there is still much that remains unknown about the future of UK tax and employment law. What is clear, however, is that all eyes will be on the new Chancellor when he delivers his Autumn Statement later this year. Whatever happens, we will be happy to advise you on any issues that may arise.

MiniFlame malware: Assessing the threat to enterprises

malware and the Gauss malware. Could you explain how miniFlame operates? Is it strictly a cyberweapon that targets nation-states, or should enterprises be concerned too?
Ask the Expert

The miniFlame malware, also known as SPE malware, is reported to be a module of both the Flame and Gauss malware, but could also potentially operate as standalone malware. Many pieces of malware come with modular functionality, meaning new attacks or functionality can be added as it is developed, much like legitimate software. Using modular software development practices allows an attacker or developer to expand the functionality of the malware without needing to develop an entirely new version of the software and deploy it to the compromised systems. Using modular development, only the new functions or plug-ins need to be installed, rather than reinstalling all of the software. For example, if an attacker wanted to target a new bank with previously developed malware, the functionality could be added as a plug-in rather than updating the core software. Another benefit is that only the new module would need to be tested, which again cuts down on the time needed to develop an attack.
In terms of how miniFlame works, it shares some of the same command-and-control infrastructure with Flame and Gauss. It is used as a back door to allow control by an external attacker. MiniFlame works by connecting to a client system that controls the server installed on the compromised system. In comparison with Flame and Gauss, miniFlame is much smaller in size and has infected a small number of systems, which tends to indicate that it is being used in highly targeted attacks. Like the Flame and Gauss malware before it, miniFlame itself is not a significant concern for enterprises; instead, enterprises should be wary of the techniques used by miniFlame, including its ability to operate as a module for other malware and allow the operator full remote access to the compromised system, which could be incorporated into automated toolkits by less sophisticated attackers.

MINNEAPOLIS—The Opus Group has just completed a deal which should finally get a big chunk of industrial property in southwest suburban Shakopee, MN, back into productive use. They closed the acquisition of a 50-acre site where they plan to break ground on a 200,000-square-foot speculative project and simultaneously spun off about 60 acres of adjacent land and a vacant 509,000-square-foot building to the Emerson Electric Company. That building has never been used. "They're basically going to go into the building and make improvements and add offices and manufacturing components and occupy it," says Tony Phelps, the senior director of real estate development for Opus. And the Opus building will be just the first phase of a new industrial and office park known as the Valley Park Business Center.
"[Emerson] got a fair deal on the building itself," Phelps adds. They paid about $7.25 million for the site, while Opus paid about $9.25 million to Premier Banks, a locally-owned banking organization, for their property.
"We're thrilled for Opus to bring a new industrial development to the area," says Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke. "This new warehouse and distribution center will bring additional businesses to the community and have a positive impact on our area."
"This submarket in general has seen a lot of activity; it has seen by far the most activity in the Twin Cities area," Phelps says. However, the metropolitan area as a whole also has a serious lack of available warehouse and distribution space designed for the needs of modern logistics firms. "You can count on one hand spaces with more than 100,000-square-feet and 32′ clear ceiling heights." This sparked interest among Opus officials for a new speculative project with 32′ heights that they can market to a distribution or logistics company.
Opus Development Company, L.L.C. will develop the project, Opus Design Build, L.L.C. will serve as the design-builder and Opus AE Group, L.L.C. as the architect and engineer.
Other companies have also given the Twin Cities a vote of confidence. The Trammell Crow Company, a Los Angeles-based subsidiary of the CBRE Group, Inc., for example, has just begun developing an 185,470-square-foot speculative industrial development in suburban Roseville. They will build the project, known as the Midtown Business Center, on approximately 13 acres and complete it by December.
"With the exception of multifamily, industrial is the hottest product type in our market," says Phelps.
