The New Chunnel: Europe-Africa Train under the Strait of Gibraltar
May 21, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The dream of connecting the two continents-- only nine miles a part at the narrowest point of the Straight of Gibraltar-- may at last become a reality. After years of terrain tests, engineers have come up with a blueprint plan for a high-speed rail tunnel connecting Europe and Africa. As reported by the Associated Press:
This tube for passengers, cars and freight would bore deep under the Strait of Gibraltar, the narrow waterway where the Atlantic flows into the Mediterranean, and run from Tangier, Morocco, to the Spanish town of Tarifa at Europe's southernmost tip, possibly extending further both ways in the future. Big-name European engineering consultants brought in a few months ago are to complete a feasibility study this year.
This would be a true engineering marvel, the deepest underwater tunnel anywhere. There are plenty of challenges. At the proposed project site, the water is about 1,000 feet deep, six times deeper than the depth of the English Channel where the Eurostar tunnel is located. In addition, there are geologic complications, as the terrain is muddy and unstable with pockets of debris from tectonic slides. If the Straight of Gibraltar Project gets the green light in 2008, the cost would be over $13 billion and take about 20 years to construct.
White Nights in St. Petersburg, Russia at the W Hotel
May 18, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Just in time for the 2008 White Nights Festival, Starwood has announced the opening of a new W hotel in the Russian city on the Neva built by Peter the Great. Throughout the month of June, the sun never sets and St. Petersburg celebrates in style with music, festivals, and ballet performances at the Mariinsky Ballet and Opera Theater. Indulge in some caviar and ice-cold vodka and take in the city sites: the Hermitage (which rivals the Louvre), the Russian Museum, and the imperial estate of Peterhof. Scheduled to open in mid 2008, the new W hotel will be the first W in Eastern Europe. The hotel will showcase historic architecture complemented by exciting contemporary interiors (and plenty of signature W design elements, like the W Living Room). Located on Voznesensky Prospect, the hotel will feature spectacular views of the gold-domed St. Isaac's Cathedral from the guest rooms. The best part of all? A rooftop bar overlooking the historic city's sparkling lights.

Product Description
From Amazon
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: From Laura Hillenbrand, the bestselling author of Seabiscuit, comes Unbroken, the inspiring true story of a man who lived through a series of catastrophes almost too incredible to be believed. In evocative, immediate descriptions, Hillenbrand unfurls the story of Louie Zamperini--a juvenile delinquent-turned-Olympic runner-turned-Army hero. During a routine search mission over the Pacific, Louie's plane crashed into the ocean, and what happened to him over the next three years of his life is a story that will keep you glued to the pages, eagerly awaiting the next turn in the story and fearing it at the same time. You'll cheer for the man who somehow maintained his selfhood and humanity despite the monumental degradations he suffered, and you'll want to share this book with everyone you know. --Juliet Disparte --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

It is remarkable but the violence and terror as a POw is a difficult read. I would recommend this book to those who have an interest in World War !! as well as those who enjoy reading biographies of resilience and survival
What an amazing book! I would give it 10/10 if I could and two thumbs up if it were a movie. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't made into a movie either, unless telling about the relatively unknown Japanese atrocities is too much for Hollywood to handle.
Louis Zamperini was a boy with humble beginnings, who grew up to have a shot at Olympic stardom, which was torn away from him by WWII and instead replaced by one of the most horrific survival stories you will ever hear. Seven years in the writing Hillenbrand has brought a book and a story that will not be forgotten by time. This is a story that everyone need read to see what despicable, horrific things human beings are capable of doing to others and how the spirit of other human beings are capable of surviving even the most degrading and self-demeaning tasks placed on top of daily torture of the most extreme kind. This book is hard to read in many places, but is also full of many moments of pathos. The POWs managed to find little ways to brighten their days at the expense of their prison keepers to help keep their morale up.
Louis started life as a thief and a thug, until his older brother took his energy and placed it into something more constructive. Track. Louis was a natural, but didn't take to it kindly at first, since he easily won without trying, until he saw that with real effort he could actually break efforts and his dream for the Olympics took over and he became a changed youth, participating in the Berlin Olympics. The War came along, and the draft changed Louis's life forever.Read more ›

We report a simple, ultra-sensitive, and straightforward method for non-labeling detection of a cancer biomarker, using Rayleigh light scattering spectroscopy of the individual nanosensor based on antibody-antigen recognition and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) λ(max) shifts. By experimentally measuring the refractive index sensitivity of Au nanorods, the Au nanorod with an aspect ratio of ∼3.5 was proven optimal for the LSPR sensing. To reduce the steric hindrance effect as well as to immobilize a large amount of ligand on the nanoparticle surface, various mixtures containing different molar ratios of HS(CH(2))(11)(OCH(2)CH(2))(6)OCH(2)COOH and HS(CH(2))(11)(OCH(2)CH(2))(3)OH were applied to form different self-assembled monolayer surfaces. The results showed that the best molar ratio for antibody conjugation was 1 : 10. When using individual Au nanorod sensors for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA), the lowest concentration recorded was ∼1 aM (∼6 × 10(5) molecules), corresponding to LSPR λ(max) shifts of ∼4.2 nm. These results indicate that sensor miniaturization down to the nanoscale level, the reduction of steric hindrance, and optimization of size, shape, and aspect ratio of nanorods have led to a significant improvement in the detection limit of sensors.

The power window switch sounds like a bad ground, the park light comes on because the window system is searching for any ground it can find, and back traces up very strange places. ( I have seen very strange things like the radio will turn on etc ). Sounds like a similar situation with the Heater Switch.

When Aches & Pains Disrupt Your Sleep
When Aches & Pain Disrupt Sleep
Aches and pains give everyone a sleepless night now and then. It doesn't take much -- a pulled muscle from an overenthusiastic workout or an afternoon spent helping a friend move furniture. Next thing you know, you're lying in bed at 3 a.m., staring at the ceiling above your bed, aching, and praying for unconsciousness.
While most aches fade pretty quickly, painful and sleepless nights are the norm for people living with chronic pain. "Between 50%-90% of people with chronic pain say that they don't sleep well," says Gilles Lavigne, DDS, MSc, FRCD, an expert on the connection between sleep and pain and a professor of dentistry, physiology and psychiatry at the University of Montreal. "They wake up feeling like they never went to bed."

Chronic Pain: Why You Shouldn't Ignore It
Remember your gruff high school coach's advice for treating an injury? "Just walk it off." Turns out your coach should have been sidelined for making a bad call, because while this strategy might have worked for the odd skinned knee, it's downright dangerous for serious pain. Still, a staggering one in 10 Americans reports that he or she has had regular pain for more than a year. Pain is the No. 1 cause of disability in the United States. So why can't we find relief? Experts say that some people...
Read the Chronic Pain: Why You Shouldn't Ignore It article > >
Not getting enough sleep can have a poisonous effect on your whole life, says Penney Cowan, executive director of the American Chronic Pain Association. It makes you feel rundown and depressed. Your job and family life can suffer. If your sleeplessness is keeping up your spouse too, that can cause even more problems. And that's not all.
"There's very good data that suggests that disturbed sleep can worsen your pain," says Thomas Roth, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. It's a vicious cycle: pain prevents you from sleeping, and not sleeping makes the pain worse.
The good news is that there's a lot that you can do -- on your own, and with your doctor -- to break the cycle. With changes to your lifestyle and possibly medication, you can finally get the good night's sleep you crave.
Pain and Sleep
"During a normal night, we all go through cycles of light sleep, deep sleep, and REM [rapid eye movement] sleep," Lavigne tells WebMD. "This cycle is repeated three to five times a night." Getting enough deep sleep and REM sleep are key to feeling refreshed in the morning.
The problem is that pain interferes with this cycle. Sudden severe pain can make you bolt upright from a sound sleep. But even milder pain can cause "microarousals," Lavigne says. These are periods when your pain breaks through and bumps you back into the light sleep stage. You may not become conscious, and the next day you won't remember waking up. But your fragmented sleep can leave you feeling like you didn't get any rest at all.
Any pain can interfere with sleep. But some common causes of disturbed sleep are:
- Headaches
- Back pain
- TMJ pain, which is pain in the temporomandibular joint of the jaw
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia, which can cause pain throughout the body's muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Neuropathy, or nerve pain
- Premenstrual cramping
Acute injuries, surgery, and more serious diseases, like cancer, can also cause pain and sleeplessness.
It's not just the intensity of pain that can make it hard to sleep. Lavigne says that pain that varies -- that is worse some days than others -- is often the most likely to cause sleeplessness.
"It makes sense," he says. "If you have constant pain for six months, you figure out how to cope with it. But if the pain level goes up and down, if it's unpredictable, you can't get used to it and it can really interfere with sleep."

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- A jocular video made by CollegeHumor.com and Jest.com and featuring a bevy of gorgeous adult actresses calls for a national "Wankout" on May 1 to protest Rick Santorum's anti-pornography stand. The "Porn Stars Against Santorum" video, shot on a Vivid Entertainment movie set, has gone viral and now appears on many other sites.
Vivid Girl Allie Haze, currently starring in "Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody," leads off the lighthearted video, noting that, "If elected, Rick Santorum has vowed to prosecute our industry on infrequently enforced obscenity laws." She and adult actresses Chastity Lynn and Chanel Preston plus actor Jerry note: "Picture a world without pornography. As porn stars and Americans, we can't let that happen. Pizza delivery boys with nothing to dream about. People masturbating to Facebook photos. Or, worst of all, people using just their imaginations."
The video goes on to say, "Santorum says watching porn causes profound brain changes, resulting in negative consequences. Besides not being supported by any facts, wouldn't the opposite be true? Porn lets you visualize your fantasies, so you don't walk around like a tightly wound sexually repressed time bomb. Besides, what are you going to do, erase all the porn? As soon as you took one video down, two more would pop up, like a mythical multi-headed porno beast."
"So, to protest Santorum, on May 1 at 8 p.m., we're staging the World's Largest Wankout. Just open up your favorite porn site, the one you downloaded to your hard drive and named 'old college papers,' '2010 taxes' or 'grandma's 80th birthday party' and let loose. Together we can enfranchise ourselves with the power of excessive masturbation."
About Vivid:

The heads of two local sporting organisations, the Canberra Raiders and AFL Canberra, are doing their bit to help boost membership for 2009 by supporting each other.

Mr Furner said memberships were important for all clubs and all codes and supporting sport in Canberra was the way to do this.

Salvatore er meget rart og særdeles tilgængelig.
Salvatore est très agréable et particulièrement disponible.
Studiet ligger i centrum af Nice, ren og meget velorganiseret, ejeren er en meget høflig ung sympatisk og seriøs, jeg anbefaler det til alle dem, der beslutter at besøge rart.
Tak Jeg følte mig hjemme.
lo studio è posizionato al centro di nizza, pulito ed organizzato molto bene, il proprietario è un giovane molto educato simpatico e serio, lo consiglio a tutti coloro che decidessero di visitare nizza.
Grazie mi sono sentito a casa mia.
Nice is a great city!!
The apartment was a fine place to stay; after 5 minutes walk you are at the beach, to the old town is a bit further to walk, but you can walk there and the supermarket is around the corner.
There are many buses in the city and also to and from the airport and the train station.
Salvatore is very helpful and kind person and he helped me with a few questions I had.
In the apartment was everything there that I needed during my stay and there was even a city map. Very useful!
I was only 1 houer in the "amazing sunny Appartment" and i leave the Appartment. I was disappointed about the Appartment. It was not sunny sorry to say that. On the pics looks good but not in real.
Everything went well. Nice, small, and tidy apartment in the center of Nice.
Get our keys at the agency office.
Salvatore is friendly and helps you with every difficulty you have with his appartements or in nice. I hope that every owner is like him.
All we could wish for! Very clean! :)
First of all Salvatore is not a private person, this is an agency which doesn't care if there are any problems. I would never recomend him as a host nor his flat. We had to go to the agency to pick up the keys but in the description of the flat at wimdu was written that we will meet at the flat. Also the stink of cat piss from the outside of the flat was so strong, that we couldn't sleep with an open window which was unbearable (it was really hot in Nice).There were also cockroaches in the flat. Last but not least we had no wifi for 2 days. We contacted the "cousin" and Salvatore (as he was our contact person) to take care about this problems and there were no reaction. Until the second complaint he came to the building to check what's wrong with the internet. Our problem with the cat piss stink wasn't resolved and therefore I will write a complaint letter to wimdu. Never again. It was the worst host & apartment & wimdu experience ever.
We had a great stay at the apartment! It was quiet, clean and we got very good informations about the city and trips we could do. Every time again!
The flat was really clean and the rooms are cosy. We really enjoyed staying there. It was not complicated and really worth the price.

Stephanie Ramage, the outspoken news editor of the Sunday Paper, a CL competitor, was let go last week as part of the weekly publication's upcoming redesign — an overhauling of the paper's mission that apparently won't include news coverage.
Ramage wrote in a weekend blog post and e-mail to her contact list:
"I have just been given the news by my publisher and friend Patrick Best that The Sunday Paper will be taking a different, less newsy path, and so it looks as though our adventure has come to its end. It's been a respectful farewell. We part on good terms."
Launched in 2004 by Patrick Best, a former CL ad sales manager, SP marketed itself as a more conservative, family friendly alt-weekly. Gone was the colorful language and ads for massage practitioners, in came the advocacy journalism and locally produced columns on national politics.
It's fair to say that CL and SP have had a somewhat prickly relationship, especially when Best made a publicity-seeking offer to purchase the Loaf for the Dr. Evil-esque sum of $1 meeellion during our bankruptcy. (CL exited bankruptcy in late 2009. We're happy to report we're doing well.)
In recent years, Ramage, a former CL staff writer, fixed her sights on the City Hall and the police beat. Nearly every week, she's taken what she admits to Atlanta Progressive News was a "pro-cop" approach, often times advocating for the rank and file. She'd even taken the unusual move of speaking out at public hearings before the Council, thereby crossing the line between journalism and activism that most reporters and editors view as inviolable.
(UPDATE, 2:50 p.m. View Ramage's response, which she submitted via e-mail, at the bottom of this post.)
Over the past year, Ramage had become increasingly critical of mayor Kasim Reed — whom she had earlier endorsed — culminating just last week in a blog post in which she excoriated three-time Pulitzer winner and best-selling author Thomas Friedman for a recent column in which he praised Reed. "Friedman…will apparently swallow any line that's conveniently and tastily fed him," Ramage wrote.
In the same post, she accused the mayor of cronyism, misrepresenting city finances and being a "classic tax-and-spend liberal."
Ramage says that, in addition to fielding several job offers, she's launching her own personal websites and will continue covering City Hall.
But it appears SP won't. As Ramage noted, the redesigned paper won't include news coverage. Visitors to SP's website find the following message:
SP will be back on January 7, 2011 as the complete source for coupons, deals, fun and culture in Atlanta.
Best's voice mailbox listed on a cached version of SP's website was full. We've sent an e-mail as well asking for comment. WABE is scheduled to air an interview with the publishers today. And here's APN's piece.
UPDATE: Ramage responds via e-mail:
"I have spoken twice at City Hall, both times in the Public Safety Committee—once to ask the committee not to approve George Turner's nomination as chief of police because the citizen input process had been violated and once to point out that the League of Women voters was supposed to have only one seat represented on the CRB, but in practice had two because its president was occupying the seat designated for the Gate City Bar representative. [...]
"You write in your post 'She'd even taken the unusual move of speaking out at public hearings before the Council, thereby crossing the line between journalism and activism that most reporters and editors view as inviolable' making it sound as though this were a regular occurrence, first, and, second, making it sound as though there is some tenet of journalism somewhere that says columnists aren't allowed to speak at public meetings. Both are baloney. The very columnist whom you praise as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Thomas Friedman, has spoken at public meetings of the very entities about which he writes. The only rule we must follow regarding such public appearances is that we divulge to the public in our writing that we have done so. My aim in doing so was to document on Channel 26 the concerns I had expressed in my column—my first and foremost responsibility as a journalist is to inform the public, and yes, as a columnist I am, by the very nature of my role as a opinion writer, an activist. (Friedman is certainly an activist.) Those are my priorities, not the accolades of other reporters who are more eager to stab me in the back than to report accurately on politicians.
"You praise Friedman and publish only one tiny line of a blog post that showed how completely misinformed he was regarding Reed's policies. Not even Campbell or Franklin bled the residents and small business people as Reed has done in less than a year in office."

Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
- Rosenthal says the Braves are growing impatient and may pull their offer by Friday when free agency opens up. USA Today says "one team" is demanding a resolution by the 14th (let's take a guess on which team). Rosenthal goes on to say the Padres have sent counter-offers to the Cubs and Braves, although he doesn't think either team will up the ante. In terms of players involved, he mentions Sean Marshall and possibly Josh Vitters.
- Sullivan thinks the Cubs are offering about 4/50 to Dempster right now.
- The Toronto Globe and Mail thinks Dempster is pretty likely to stay a Cub and says he'll take a discount if the Cubs acquire Peavy.
UPDATE: Buster Olney says the Cubs and Padres are trying to get a 3rd team involved and that Josh Vitters might be in play. I'd be surprised if the Cubs dealt Vitters or Samardzija myself, but you never know.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Can we have the old Rich Hill back? A Z, Peavy, Demp, '07 Hill, Lilly rotation would be alright. Of course they won't score any runs in the playoffs, so who gives a shit.
What happens to Harden? I'm sorry, I should know this, but I've tried to think about the Cubs as little as possible the last two months.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think if Cubs get Dempster and Peavy they will flip Harden for a lefty bat?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
unless it's a bat of epic proportions then no thanks
I drool over the thought of
That right there is a 110 win season.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
We too drool over the thought of...
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I would put Lilly ahead of Harden based on durability.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I just drool a lot, no matter what the occasion.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I love the idea of getting swept in October by scores of 1-0, 2-0, 1-0.
They ask if it could get worse, well yeah, that is worse.

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think there is something to the Padres withdrawing their offer to Hoffman? Like maybe they are getting a potential power arm to try at closer from the Cubs, i.e. Samninja or Ceda? Or someone from the Braves? Or maybe its nothing.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Espn 1000 Bruce Levine is reporting Padres and Braves have "two pieces in place to complete trade," but Cubs still might have a chance.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Thought so too
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
My bad
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
No BP love for Casey Lambert or Mitch Atkins?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
There isn't anybody on Baseball Prospectus' list or combination thereof that I wouldn't trade for Peavy. Samardzija has the NTC, and Cashner/Flaherty can't be traded until after June 15th or whenever the June draft is held this year.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Lincecum gets the NL CY
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
the Cubs will send back Felix Pie, Sean Marshall and Ryan Theriot.
Oh my... that would be incredible.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Interesting. That would seem to seriously conflict with today's rumors about the Braves having pieces in place, but perhaps they ended up asking for too much. I have a bad feeling though this will be akin to the '05 blog from some dude that Furcal signs with the Cubs, only to have him sign with the Dodgers the next day.
Rob, I'm guessing the "please oh please" is more about shedding Theriot than acquiring Peavy? :)
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
"the '05 blog from some dude that Furcal signs with the Cubs"
As long as WSCR George Offman is not reporting it, it could be true.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Could be Padres are releasing this to scare Braves into action.
If the Theriot gets traded they better sign Furcal asap. Ronny the Retard for 160 a games will not be pleasant.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Would the Cubs trade Theriot if they Greene back in the deal somehow? They'd make a run at Furcal, sure, but Greene would be the back up plan.
Of course, perhaps the deal is "basically" done except for the little detail that Hendry still has to find a third party to get involved to send more pitching to SD.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Could it mean Ronny Cedeno at Short? Or maybe Khalil Green is coming this way?
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Lets hope we never see the 'Ronny Cedeno era' as the starting shortstop, Greene has really declined lately but he'd be a way better option than Cedeno.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Realistically we have nothing to offer pitching wise (exception Szamarja or Harden) compared to the Braves. If this deal gets done with pie, marshall and theriot then it's silly not to take it. I wonder if Giles will be in this deal to shed all of their salary...find this third team...what else would we be giving up?
There is no way we are getting rid of Marquis and his 9mil this year if this deal gets done. In all honestly they should let Dempster walk this was his best year by far when you compared it to his past. He's not worth the 12-15 he may get on the open market. If you can get a good deal on Wood then go for it but he's also not worth 12-15 per year.
Marquis or Hill (in my prayers)
Any body have details on Hill in the Venezuela league..he's getting hammered. Don't count on him to do anything.
It should be interesting.
WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
His source at Cubs-
No chance for Dempster resigning, he wants 5/85
Wood gone also, Tampa very interested
Peavy trade needs third team(duh), Peavy needed because of no Dempster
~grain of salt~
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
He probably means no re-signing before Thursday. It'd be stupid for Dempster to rule out the Cubs now.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
The way he was saying it was the Cubs would not pay 5/85 for Dempster, which is what he's supposedy is asking for.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
Yeah, but I doubt any team is going to pony up that kind of cash off one good year as a starter. Maybe his agent is having delusions of Boras. He may ask for that, but I doubt he gets it.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
I agree.
And I can't understand the whole he will take a cut in pay to pitch with Peavy is mind boggling. I mean it's not Bball or Football and that they will be on the field again.
Then again he's Canadian.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
Or just keep Marquis. I'd probably trust him over Samardzija for a year. Never thought I'd say that.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I'd do the Peavy deal pretty much under any circumstances, Vitters might hurt a little but I'll take a pitcher with Cy Young stuff over a prospect.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Kerry Wood's got Cy Young stuff...
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
that and Peavy actually has won one.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
So Randy Johnson would be better than Peavy?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
if it was 28 year old Randy Johnson, then yes.
The difference is that Jake Peavy has Cy Young stuff and has one one. Meaning that he's put up the numbers deserving of a Cy Young award and will probably continue to show his Cy Young stuff.
Kerry Wood will not put up Cy Young numbers nor will Randy Johnson.
Why are you trying to pick this nit when you God Damned well what he's trying to say?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Because I think Peavy is a disaster waiting to happen for whichever team trades for him. You can see the Braves are not willing to discuss their two 'five star prospects' but the Cubs, in theory are. That doesn't make sense.

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I've read in a couple places now about maybe Adam Dunn to the Cubs. Can he even play RF? He sure can't play LF worth a damn, but if he has a strong arm (I don't know, does he?), there's no reason he'd be any worse in RF than in LF, right?
He would certainly address the Cubs' age-old need for a LH power bat in the middle of the order. If they signed him, I imagine he would be the heir apparent at 1B once Lee's contract is over.
Final question, this one about Brian Roberts. Would the Orioles at all be interested in Mark DeRosa as part of a Roberts trade? I wonder if the Cubs could put together trade packages for BOTH Peavy and Roberts; I'm not convinced the Cubs have enough quality young players, but maybe DeRosa would help them get it done.
If the Cubs DID somehow acquire Peavy, Roberts and Dunn, I'm buying my World Series tickets right now.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
The Cubs already have two heir apparents for first base in Ramirez and Soriano.
I am not sure about Dunn's arm. He was a college QB, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's playable, though I don't know why the Reds wouldn't have played him in right. The other option would be to move Soriano to right (or center), but his arm is a little short for that.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
ive heard this Dunn/Cubs/RF crap, too.
yes, pinella will play guys in RF who have no business there, but not regularly (thankfully).
dunn can barely play LF and his arm is clunky. hell, he can barely play 1st.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Right field has the fewest plays.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
but generally requires the best arm.
having said this, Dunn was a college qb. I bet his arm is better that we think
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
dunn's arm isn't that bad, but it's not good or accurate. he's also battled off/on soreness with his throwing arm almost yearly.
much like the entire package that is adam dunn he's got an amazing set of tools he applies really oddly.
it makes me wonder how good of a player he could be if he actually liked the game as much as some other players out there. there's more than a few that think dunn could use a clemens meets schilling lockerroom "talk" to get him into the game more.
Recent comments
"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?"
Still don't want. Kinda hope they can't work out the extension.
obviously not, and I'm sure they did their homework...just hope they have some better answers than the Yankees
Chapman 12+ Career WAR. Currently 4.7:1 k-BB. With Rondon/Chapman/Strop/Nathan/Montgomery/Wood...Its the best pen I can recall other than Sutter or Lee Smith handling things themselves.
Its gonna suck if he gets injured, and it appears he's not the greatest of characters.
But, he'll have another Cuban to hang out with on the team.
I agree with the names you mention but there are lots of names being tossed around still and there's that small matter of Chapman agreeing to the extension.

"RE: Problems with D80 in P mode"
> If I set the ISO, then in P mode>the camera should set the aperature and shutter speed right? >I don't have to mess with the aperature or shutter speed to>get a good picture? This is usually correct, but it may depend on other variables. Was it dark at the time? Was part of the scene dark and part of the scene light? As Charlie suggested, an example would help.Program does take care of both aperture and shutter speed, but there are other combinations of aperture and shutter speed that can make or break a photo.
