Content from the current issue
The question facing voters on 23 June is 'Should the [UK] remain a member of the [EU] or leave the [EU]?' with corresponding answers 'Remain ...' and 'Leave ...'. This format is well designed: clear, concise and impartial. In contrast, regional referendums on Welsh devolution (2011) and Scottish independence (2014) had draft questions 'Do you agree ...', which would have led voters towards apparently favoured positions had they not been changed before implementation. However, their simple answers of 'Yes' and 'No' could still have introduced bias as affirmation is generally deemed more pleasing than negation. These were also the options for nationwide referendums on the European Community (1975) and alternative voting (2011). The current referendum avoids these problems and has fair campaign rules, though extensive feedback arising from media reports, opinion polls and social networks will surely influence the outcome.
The IMA Lighthill Lecture at BAMC
Delivering the 2016 IMA Lighthill Lecture was not only a great honour, but also an opportunity to reflect on the influence of Sir Michael James Lighthill (1924-1998). Of course, he is well known to this audience as the founder of the IMA and Lucasian professor at Cambridge. He is remembered worldwide as a pioneer in theoretical fluid mechanics, especially in aeroacoustics and swimming, which was also his passion in real life.
Personally, I first came across the work of Lighthill, when I was trying to calculate the induced-charge electro-osmotic flow around a polarisable particle and its resulting electrophoretic motion. Half a century later, his seminal paper on the 'squirming' motion of micro-organisms provided a useful mathematical framework that could also be applied in this context. Lighthill's emphasis on broken symmetries in swimming also foreshadowed recent developments in induced-charge electrophoresis.
A Tennis Assignment Algorithm
For some years, I have played social tennis at a local club and have recently organised midweek men's doubles matches for those who are retired, work part-time or have flexible working arrangements. This used to consist of asking each member of the group about their availability in the coming week, and how much they would like to play, and from their responses, putting together a set of fours using just pen and paper. However as the numbers increased, I started to think about how I could make the process easier and more efficient by writing some code and treating it as an optimisation problem. This article describes how I tackled the problem.
The initial purpose of the algorithm was to automate what I had done manually, by finding a feasible assignment of players to groups across the week and to maximise the number of groups formed. As it is clear that generally there are many possible solutions, the next step was to remove any bias or favouritism in the choice of the groups, by generating all possible feasible and equally-optimal assignments and choosing randomly from them.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a mathematician in academia is encountering diverse and exciting challenges. One such incident occurred recently when a refrigeration engineer brought two tubes into my office and plonked them on my desk. 'Can you model intrinsic weight gain and predict time to saturation?' she asked. As so often happens, my mouth uttered 'Yes' with little input from my team and despite my ignorance.
These right annular cylinders were 127 mm long and sealed at both ends, with external diameter 124 mm and bore 70 mm, as illustrated opposite. One of them rattled ominously, though my visitor explained that they were sections of pipe lagging and that the noise was caused by a desiccant. Cold liquid refrigerants pass through the pipes, with the adverse effect of causing costly condensation damage. The engineer had executed the following well designed experiment, which was repeated many times for tubes of various materials and dimensions, in order to address this problem.
Raising the Profile of Black Mathematicians
According to Professor Rosina Mamokgethi Setati-Phakeng, the first Black South African female to get a PhD in Mathematical Education:
Being the first is not something to be proud about, it is a calling to ensure you are not the last.
My name is Dr Nira Chamberlain and I became the first Black Mathematician to be referenced in Who's Who, which is a leading source of biographical data on more than 33,000 influential and distinguished people from around the world. Published annually since 1849, I am only one of approximately 30 mathematicians referenced in the 2015 edition of this book. Inclusion has therefore come to carry a considerable level of prestige.
Small Worlds by Design
Connecting all the members of a large group involves many exchanges; think of it as clinking glasses at a social gathering. Allowing second-hand exchanges/clinks where the group splits into subgroups who clink glasses, and then representatives from each subgroup clink with each other – second-hand clinking – can decrease the number of clinks. This paper finds the optimal number of subgroups necessary to minimise the total number of clinks. It also looks at what is optimal if there is third and higher level clinking. Examples are given of such problems arising in parallel computer systems, social media, communication systems, and sports tournaments.
Historical Notes: A Mathematical Inscription from Ancient Pergamon
During the latter part of the 18th century, the wonderfully named polymath Comte Marie-Gabriel-Florent-Auguste de Choiseul-Gouffier, French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire based in Constantinople, embarked on an extensive series of travels around the Aegean and Asia Minor. Writing up his journeys and observations in the similarly wonderfully named Voyage Pittoresque de la Grèce, he copied the details of a particular inscription, written in Greek, found at Pergamon and dating from the 2nd century CE during the Roman Antonine period. This inscription is the only ancient one, known to me, that contains any mathematics. Sadly the stone itself would now appear to be lost.

Let me start by congratulating Professor Chris Linton on his recent appointment as IMA President and wishing him well during his term in office: the IMA will undoubtedly prosper under his leadership. His predecessor, Professor Dame Celia Hoyles, was an excellent president who achieved much over the past two years.
Among her many contributions, Celia was guest editor with Professor Richard Noss for December's special issue of Mathematics Today on the theme of education, surely one of our most important professions. I hope that you enjoyed reading the wide selection of entertaining articles by international authors, which clearly demonstrate the fluidity of mathematics and the adaptability of teaching to incorporate new technology as a means of enthusing and inspiring our students. For those interested, IMA Councillor and former Honorary Secretary, Professor Nigel Steele, and his colleague Matthew Bulmer (NCTL) will present a talk on Training Mathematics Teachers at the Mathematics 2016 conference in London on 17 March.
The 2015 ECM Autumn Conference at Bath
On Saturday 14 November, more than 80 mathematicians in the early stages of their career gathered together at the University of Bath to hear and talk about promising areas of mathematics, and the challenges that young mathematicians face in those fields. The day was a big success despite the unfortunate weather, and it gave ample opportunities to everyone who attended to network with their peers from different universities and organisations.
How to Make the Perfect Pancake
We explore the cooking of pancakes using a combination of kitchen experiments and mathematical theory. The properties of a pancake are characterised in terms of a dimensionless geometrical measure of aspect ratio (I1) and the baker's ratio that describes the mass ratio of water or milk to flour (I2). The patterns on the top and bottom of pancakes are analysed in a kitchen study and explained in terms of how the vapourised liquid in the batter escapes. We determine the properties of a perfect pancake.
Pancakes are a starch-based comestible created by pouring batter onto a hot solid surface and cooking until solid [1]. They come in a lot of different shapes from the large, thin, circular French crêpes to small, thick, circular drop scones from Scotland or ball-shaped æbleskiver found across Scandinavia.
The Participation of Girls in Further Mathematics
Further Mathematics (FM) is a qualification designed to broaden and deepen a student's mathematical knowledge, and can be taken to either AS level or A-level alongside AS or A-level Mathematics courses. It is valuable for a number of reasons, including:

A text message is sent, and cash starts spitting out of an ATM infected with malware.
That is one of the capabilities of a sophisticated variant of malware known as Ploutus that has been linked to attacks in Mexico and the Ukraine. In the process, it has become another example of how hackers are turning their attention to ATM machines as another avenue to a bank's coffers.
"I've heard some people saying, 'Well, you know you need physical access to the machine and that makes it more difficult,' " says Symantec researcher Liam O Murchu. "And that is true, but the reason we are reporting on this is because this is something we've seen being used… So even though it may seem like, "Well, you need physical access to the machine so it's not really going to happen,' it is happening, and we're seeing people arrested in Mexico, and we're seeing it being used elsewhere."
Symantec's recent report on the capabilities of the Ploutus malware served to underscore the issue, but also drew some critics who highlighted the difficulties of getting away with opening up a machine and inserting a mobile phone, USB stick, or anything else. Yet that is precisely what researchers at the Chaos Communications Conference in December said they uncovered in the wild: attackers uploading malware onto ATMs by vandalizing machines and inserting USB sticks. They then covered up the hole so they could remain undetected.
"When I hear about a successful malware attack on any ATM, I am not particularly interested in the features which the malware implements, such as its user interface, what data it captures, how it manages the 'casher' mules, and so on," says Henry Schwarz, software projects director at ATM manufacturer Triton. "The central issue is how the malware made its way onto the ATM in the first place -- that is the attack vector which must be addressed. Once malware is running on an ATM, the damage is done."
According to Schwarz, Triton takes various precautions to prevent malware infections. For example, Triton's ATMs now verify software has been digitally signed by Triton using its private key. If the digital signature is incorrect, the ATM does not accept the software.
"The most common vulnerabilities are those that arise almost directly from making maintaining ATMs easy for technicians in the field," explains Mike Park, managing consultant at Trustwave. "These include easy-to-pick locks, the ability to bypass locks, ATM operating systems running as 'administrator' without a password, and USB ports both enabled and in the boot order before the hard drive. Many lack hard drive encryption or any form of endpoint security. Anti-virus, for instance, can bog a machine down such that transactions take far too long to complete.
"By far our most successful and easiest attacks are to gain access to the ATM network and manipulate ATM requests and responses, allowing us to gain access to the cash in the ATM without having to actually touch the machine, except to initiate a legitimate transaction."
Some of the company's most successful attacks during penetration tests do not require physical access to the device and are agnostic to the operating system, Park tells us. Network-based attacks have proven repeatedly to be both easy to exploit and lucrative, and at times testers have been able to hide the fact that the ATM was compromised from a central management application.
Based on the company's penetration tests, ATM manufacturers and banks should take measures such as adding a BIOS password, encrypting the hard drive, and installing host intrusion detection systems, Park says. In addition, armoring application binaries against reverse engineering and using endpoint security solutions can help as well.
"The biggest issue however is that implementing many of these security measures make ATM technical maintenance much more difficult, time consuming, and expensive," says Park. "Technicians will need a large ring of keys -- will need to know BIOS password and admin passwords when doing routine or emergency maintenance."
Telling ATM owners to pay more attention to physical device security in the form of cameras and other methods as opposed to upgrading devices is a losing proposition, opines Craig Young, security researcher at Tripwire.
"ATMs are networked devices which can potentially be attacked without direct physical access to the system," he says. "Migrating from [Windows] XP embedded is really the ideal solution as newer operating systems will not only benefit from ongoing security updates but also from security enhancements integrated into newer operating systems."
Support for the Windows XP embedded products varies depending on the version of the product, according to a timeline set out by Microsoft.
"From a technical standpoint, organizations not in a position to upgrade ATMs from Windows XP do have some options for system hardening," notes Young. "As a starting point, USB ports should be locked down as much as possible. This could be a physical solution such as an additional locking mechanism over the USB port or a technical solution such as disabling USB ports within software."
Attacks against ATMs are on everyone's radar, says Troy Leach, chief technology officer at PCI Security Standards Council.
"According to findings from the ATM Industry Association's 2012 ATM Global fraud survey, skimming remains the top global threat to ATMs, with different kinds of brute force attacks continuing unabated," he tells Dark Reading. "PIN and account data present in ATMs has become a growing target for criminals who use this stolen information to produce counterfeit cards for fraudulent transactions, primarily ATM cash withdrawals."Brian Prince is a freelance writer for a number of IT security-focused publications.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Continuing his rehab from last September's Tommy John surgery, Angel Guzman threw 14 pitches (8 balls & 6 strikes) in an EXST Camp Day intrasquad game at Fitch Park this morning.
Guzman had previously thrown a "simulated game" last Friday and a "live" BP session on Monday.
Guzman faced four batters, walking Junior Lake on four pitches to start the game. Then an errant pick-off throw by Guzman allowed Lake to advance to 2nd base. Brandon Guyer grounded out to short on an 0-1 pitch, as Lake advanced to 3rd base with one out.
Drew Rundle then pulled a hard-hit ground double past 1st base on a 1-0 pitch, driving in Lake for the first run. Rundle stole third on the first pitch to clean-up hitter John Contreras, before Contreras hit a F-8 SF on a 3-2 pitch to finish Guzman's day (he was supposed to throw "around" 15 pitches).
As long as he has no setbacks from today's outing, Guzman will probably make his Cactus League Extended Spring Training game debut sometime next week
Recently converted to pitcher, ex-catcher Jake Muyco got into his first game action today, and struggled through his one inning of work, allowing two runs.
Today's intrasquad game also provided a rare glimpse of RHP Chris Huseby, who has been suffering from an EXTREME control problem since Minor League Camp that has limited him to bullpen sessions and one "live" BP session that went just so-so. .
One of the Cubs better pitching prospects coming into the 2008 season, Huseby was expected to start the year at the top of Peoria's starting rotation. But the 6'7 right-hander just can't find home plate.
It's very similar to what happened with Luke Hagerty last year, where his pitches either bounce in the dirt, or go over the catcher's head, or hit the batter. And it's the reason he has been held out of game action. He's just plain dangerous.
And today was a good example, as Huseby was yanked after just 11 pitches (only two strikes), an outing where he walked two, hit a batter (and almost hit two others), and threw two wild pitches.
Huseby probably will be assigned to Boise when the short season leagues begin play next month (with a 30-man roster, the Hawks can afford to stash away some extra pitchers), but he probably won't get much game action until he can find home plate. .
Today also marked the return of Cubs 2007 5th round pick Brandon Guyer to LF. Prior to today, Guyer (a Matt Murton clone) had been restricted to DH duty only while recovering from a fractured elbow.
Guyer will likely be assigned to Boise next month, although he could get moved up to Peoria before that if the Cubs feel the Chiefs need a right-handed hitting LF to platoon with Dylan Johnston.
As is sometimes necessary due to not having enough players available to staff two squads, the position players rotated between defense and offense without regard to "teams" in today's intrasquad game. Some of the players got more ABs than others, while others did not hit at all.
Here is the box score (such as it is):
Junior Lake, SS: 0-2 (R, BB, 2 K)
Brandon Guyer, LF: 0-1
Drew Rundle, RF: 1-1 (RBI, R, 2B, SB)
John Contreras, 1B: 1-1 (3 RBI, 3B, SF, CS)
George Matheus, 2B: 1-2 (R, HBP)
Gian Guzman, SS: 0-4 (R, BB)
Cesar Salazar, CF: 1-3 (RBI, BB)
Bryan Jost, 1B: 2-4 (2 RBI, 2 R, 2B, 2 K, SB)
Nelson Perez, RF: 1-3 (R, CS)
Jeffrey Rea, 2B: 0-2
Luis Bautista, C: 0-0 (R, HBP)
Alvaro Sosa, C: 0-1
Josh Vitters, 3B: DID NOT BAT (sore hand)
Kevin Soto, LF-CF: DID NOT BAT
Roberto Sabates and Carlos Perez warmed-up pitchers in the bullpen but did not get an AB, and Dwayne Kemp and Starlin Castro did not play.
1. Jake Muyco - 1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 1 WP 0/2 GO/FO)
2. Carlos Rojas - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K (1/1 GO/FO)
3. Ryan Searle - 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (2/0 GO/FO)
1. Angel Guzman - 0.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 0 K (1/1 GO/FO)
2. Chris Huseby - 0.0 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 2 WP
3. Eduardo Figueroa - 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (2/4 GO/FO)
Angel Guzman overthrow on pick-off attempt at 1B allowed runner to advance to 2B,
Junior Lake made errant throw trying to double runner off 2nd base after catching a line drive, and runner scored from 2nd base (the throw went into the RF corner):
Luis Bautista: 1-3 CS
Alvaro Sosa: 1-1 CS
WEATHER: Overcast with game-time highs in the 80's
ATTENDANCE: 3 (I've noticed that Camp Day usually doesn't draw quite as well as the other days)

Phil, Is Rhee at Fitch? Have you heard any report on him? Thanks.
Ryan Harvey demoted to Daytona
Re: Ryan Harvey demoted to Daytona
what's the point?
great power stroke (insane power stroke)...too bad it pretty much only works on 60-90mph fastballs in BP/game.
killer arm, too.
still...looks like he's hit a developmental brick wall if he can't figure out AA pitching at this stage in his career.
The solution for Haggerty and Huseby's wildness
Let 'em pitch exclusively to Felix Pie in simulated games.
He'll swing at everything out of the zone and take anything in it and they'll both get their confidence back.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Guzman is quickly becoming the mythical beast of yore, akin to the Unicorn or Centaur. AZ Phil, what are the club's expectations for this oft - injured budding phenom? If he gets promoted to Peoria and/or AA before the season's over, will his TJ surgery be considered successful? Thanks in advance for responding.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
AZ Phil:
Thanks for a great report, as usual. You've probably seen enough of Angel Guzman to have an opinion--is their something in his delivery that has contributed to all his injuries, or does he just seem to you to have an especially fragile arm? Thanks.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
the weird thing about guzman, because of his injuries/rehab and adjustments, is that he's got about 1/2 dozen+ pitches out of multiple arm slots.
as far as what he's throwing now out of what slot, i dunno...but he's got a huge arsenal of possible stuff.
seen him throw fastballs out of 3/4 slot and sidearm...slider 3/4 and sidearm...overhand change and fastball...god only knows what else over the years...
what is he throwing now predominately?
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Too bad about Harvey. He's obviously got a little talent just strikes out WAY too much.
edmonds story with quotes...
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Demp for Cy Young?
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
At at least a return to the ASG?
Holliday might be on the market According to Rosenthal.
Could be an option if Edmonds doesnt work out. Holliday would be under Cubs control next year before he is a FA and Aaron Cook is a FA after this year so I could also imagine he would be on the block to. Maybe in a perfect world we could pull off
Cook and Holliday for Murton, Pie, Gallagher, Hill, Epat, Ceda, and Veal
Jimbo couldnt probably pull the trigger on the deal due to ownership, but adding Holliday would give us the a top 5 line-up in MLB history and Cook can help stablize the rotation. The deal would also fill COL needs in LF and 2b, give them a pitcher taylor made for Coors in Gallagher, some good pen arms in Ceda and Veal and a CF who can go it in that large park in Pie.
Re: Holliday might be on the market According to Rosenthal.
Holiday's 3-year Away split:
.281 / .343 / .466
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
I like the way the next series is shaping up. MKE and STL face the two best (by record) teams in the AL, while the Cubs face the mighty Pirates. Time to widen the lead!
Pittsburgh is on a roll now
I think they have won something like 7 out of their last 11.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Astros are currently in 2nd place, and on a serious roll, and they have played a lot more games on the road than at home.
Down 6-0 to Lincecum (sp) yesterday, and they score 4 in the 8th and one in the 9th to win it. Berkman is on fire, and has been for a while.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Chifan is right. Right now, the Pirates are not the same team as a couple weeks ago.
Even if the Cubs win 1 of 3,, its a 7-3 home stand.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Actually... they were playing decent baseball even when they were playing the Cubs earlier in the year.
If you take out the 6 losses against the Cubs, the team has a 20-15 record.
Re: Cub All Stars
Re: Cub All Stars
Dempster will be there if he keeps it up. Marmol deserves to go as well.IMHO
Re: Cub All Stars
I think they will take one starter from Cubs.
Marmol is intriguing, has there been any set up men who have been All Stars?
Re: Cub All Stars
Justin Duchscherer
Tom Gordon
Are the recent 3 that come to mind.
Re: Cub All Stars
Soto, Lee, Z should all be in without question.
But I would also say that Dempster should be in without question, and Fukudome, ARam, and Marmol all have very legitimate arguments to get in.
Fukudome is 4th among NL RF in OPS, plays excellent defense, and leads all of baseball in walks. And don't forget the power of the Japanese vote.
ARam is 2nd among NL 3b in OPS.
Re: Cub All Stars
Current VORP for NL First Basemen:
Berkman 42
Pujols 28
C. Jackson: 17
Derrek Lee: 16.6
I'd say Marmol, Z, Soto, Ramirez (as a backup to Chipper) would be deserving
Dempster (12th in VORP),Lee and Fukudome on the outskirts. Soriano still can get himself in the discussion.
Re: Cub All Stars
Yea... I looked after, and saw the 1b numbers. Lee has seen a significant drop in May.
And Berkman has been ridiculous.
And again... Fukudome may not necessarily have the numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was voted in as a starter. Or at least voted in as the final guy.
MH hit another home run last night for the I-Cubs. That makes three games in a row he homered.
Our erstwhile #3 SP RICH is on the HILL tonight at 7 PM.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Thanks, Phil. I really hope Guzman can put his injury history behind him; he's always had the stuff to be a major leaguer and I could see him contributing as a spot starter or out of the bullpen late in the season. I dread a late season rotation that includes Marquis. Having guys like Marshall, Gallagher, and Guzman to step up and take that spot would be great.
Reds attendance down 9%
Makes you wonder what they'll do for fans after Griffey Jr. hits #600.
Re: Angel Guzman Throws in Intrasquad Game at Fitch Park
Harvey is not the only guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona. Harvey probably has a better chance of pitching in the majors than that wide receiver does. Can the Cubs still trade Samardzija to an NFL team?
Samardzija's line yesterday:
4 innings, 10 hits, 6 runs, 6 ER, 5 walks, 1 K, 1 HR.
Plesac had an interesting point on the radio a few weeks ago
and that was that Shark has not been committed to baseball a 100% for years so he is actually behind the learning curve for what his age and college expirence might lead one to believe.
Re: guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona
Why stop with Harvey and Samardzija? The Smokies are 15-26 for a good reason.
Go Farm Go!
Re: guy who deserved to get knocked back to Daytona
wins and losses in minor league games?
last friday i saw jeff neimann...TB pimp...pitch 3ip of AAA ball then hand it over to the pen to help get the loss.
why 3ip of ball? cuz that's what he and the parent organization needed...not the team.
the concept of a "team" in the minor leagues is sketchy at best. its structured exercise of what's been worked on in practice, especially at the lower levels unless you already got your refinement down or the coaches don't care enough to tweak you anymore and are gonna let you sink/swim your own way.
what about the win? what about it...minor leagues aren't there to win games (psst, dont tell the fans).
Re:minor leagues aren't there to win games
Well, this appears to be true in the Cubs organization even if it is crazy talk.
Baseball is a zero-sum game. Somebody has to win and somebody else has to lose. But, following your premise, if no one is trying to win, then it's even more likely that the organization with the most talent and ability will win.
If winners and losers were determined only by luck then everyone would finish the season around .500, which is not the case.

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?"
Still don't want. Kinda hope they can't work out the extension.

One of the knocks on early-stage use of disposables is significant difference in form factor between low-volume, development-stage cell culture performed in plastic, and full-scale processing in stainless steel. Richard Mirro, a product manager at New Brunswick Scientific (NBS) provided some insights into this discrepancy and how to overcome it.
He described new products from NBS that include 5 L and 14 L stirred-tank single-use vessels that replicate traditional autoclavable bench-scale reactors "while providing all the benefits of disposable technology." A key component of the new reactors is their stirred-tank design, which mimics agitation mechanisms in larger stainless steel bioreactors.
"The downside of competing products is the difficulty in transferring from a rocker-based system to a 5,000 liter fixed-tank system," Mirro said. "Unless you're transferring to a similar system, there are scalability issues."
The new bioreactors are constructed from translucent, USP Class 6 polycarbonate or polystyrene, making the reactors light and easy to move around, Mirro noted. They are fitted with noninvasive pH and dissolved oxygen sensors. As fully disposable systems, they require no cleaning or autoclaving or unthreading of ports or head plates. "You wouldn't ever think they were made of plastic," he said.
What if someone is tempted to re-use them? "The reactors are designed specifically to prevent re-use," Mirro assured. "You can't clean or disassemble them without damaging them. They're basically uncleanable, and because they're made from plastics they can't be autoclaved without deforming."
The single-use bioreactors are a bit more expensive than plastic film bio-bags, but their advantages more than make up for the extra cost, according to Mirro. "Compared with a traditional reactor, dollar for dollar, you're either breaking even or saving significant money if you calculate in autoclaving, cleaning solutions, and validation, plus the additional effort saved in tech transfer and upscaling."

Internal reason stopped Dhoni from being replaced: AmarnathPTI | Dec 11, 2012, 06.38 PM IST
NEW DELHI: Former national selector Mohinder Amarnath created a flutter by openly admitting that "certain internal reason" stopped the selection committee from replacing Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Indian captain after eight successive Test defeats in England and Australia.
"Definitely, there were discussions to replace Dhoni and people were agreeing to do so but for some internal reason, it didn't happen. I will not like to divulge what were the reasons. But when the time is right, I will let the people of this country know about the reasons," Amarnath, the hero of India's 1983 World Cup victory, said.
In a roundabout manner, Amarnath also admitted that there were external pressures on the selection committee when the topic of Dhoni's removal was broached.
"In Indian politics and cricket, it's always the same. There are people who are controlling the game and other people are scared to take a stand," he told 'Times Now'.
"I believe that Dhoni should be removed as captain from the Tests. He hasn't set the Test stage on fire. A captain's place in the team should be secure and I don't see his place secured in the side. He doesn't have the technique for Test cricket," Amarnath said.
It was widely believed that the veteran of 69 Tests and 74 ODIs, who was in line to become the chairman of selectors, was removed at the behest of BCCI president N Srinivasan as he had a fall-out on Dhoni issue.
To a question whether someone showed him the constitution to overrule the decision of selection committee, he smiled and replied, "I would neither agree nor deny this."
"But I don't think that any selector is aware about the constitution. I am a person who doesn't believe in being controlled. I love to do my work freely. I don't think there should be interference in selector's job," stated the man who was known for scoring plenty of runs against the likes of
Amarnath also believed that selectors need to speak to Sachin Tendulkar.
"Look age has everything to do in life. Even players like Javed Miandad,
Amarnath was critical of Dhoni at a promotional event in Pune, accusing the Indian captain him of blocking entry for other deserving wicket-keepers.
"Who is Dhoni to say that I want to stay there (in the team) and take this challenge (of captaining the side). What has he done?" he asked.
Dhoni had refused to step down from captaincy despite the team's humiliating loss to England in Kolkata, insisting that he doesn't want to run away from the challenge.
"He doesn't deserve a place in the team. There are better keeper-batsmen in the country. They are not getting an opportunity because he is the captain," he said.
Former Indian players such as Dilip Vengsarkar and Kris Srikkanth have had similar views on Dhoni's position in the team.
Amarnath believed that the only reason why Dhoni has been given an extended run as captain is the World Cup victory last year.
"He has been captaining the team for the last one year because India won the World Cup. We are talking about one-day cricket here and not Test cricket," Amarnath said while talking about his dismal Test performances.

WASHINGTON - Georgetown University men's tennis team (10-8) won its eighth consecutive match earlier today, defeating Fairfield, 6-1, at the McDonough Outdoor Tennis Complex. The Hoyas have not lost a home men's tennis match yet this season, amassing an 8-0 mark in D.C.
After a huge conference win over St. John's on Friday the Hoyas came out Saturday and swept the doubles competition. Sophomore Daniel Khanin (Baldwin, N.Y./Pendleton) and Reese Milner (Los Angeles, Calif./Crossroads) started the sweep with an 8-1 win at third doubles. Casey Distaso (The Woodlands, Texas/Edmond North) and Charlie Caris (Des Moines, Iowa/Theodore Roosevelt) followed with a 8-4 win at one and Alex Tropiano (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) and Shane Korber (Newport Beach, Calif./Corona Del Mar) completed it with an 8-5 win at two doubles.
In the singles matches Caris rolled at two, 6-3, 6-1 and Khanin rebounded from a Friday loss to win 6-2, 7-5 at number one.
The clinching match was recorded by Kevin Katz (Woodbury, N.Y./Syosset), who played in just his second dual match of the year, at six singles 6-2, 6-2.
Tropiano and Distaso recorded victories on courts five and four, respectively. Tropiano won 6-3, 6-1, and Distaso won 6-4, 6-4.
GU plays next on Sunday, April 7, against GWU. The match will be played at the McDonough Outdoor Tennis Complex and begins at 11 a.m.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A familiar formula receives skillful handling in this heartfelt family drama involving three sistersAfeisty European model Jilly, authoritative pediatrician Birdie and reclusive Rose Season. Following a lengthy separation, the three gather at their family home in Milwaukee for the funeral of their youngest sister, Merry, who was brain-damaged years earlier in an accident that continues to haunt the sisters. Merry's last request, that they find the baby daughter Jilly was forced to surrender as a teenager, sets the three remaining Seasons on a cross-country journey that will ultimately offer them a chance at personal redemption and self-discovery. Smoothly integrated flashbacks help illuminate long-held family secrets and allow the women to reclaim their childhood affection for each other. Although some of the old mysteries won't be much of a surprise to readers, Monroe (The Book Club) writes with a crisp precision and narrative energy that will keep them turning the pages. Her talent for infusing her characters with warmth and vitality and her ability to spin a tale with emotional depth will earn her a broad spectrum of readers, particularly fans of Barbara Delinsky and Nora Roberts.

This is the story of the four Season sisters, hence the title of the book. The youngest sister, Merry, has passed away at 32 after a long illness as the book begins. As the remaining sisters convene at the family's aging Victorian house, all their long-time hurts, dreams, failures and successes are almost palpable as each grieves in her own way. It sounds like a million other books of this type, but a different twist makes it all brand new, and very interesting.
That is the search for the illegitimate daughter of Jilly, the sister who went on to become a top model in Paris, and a minor celebrity. It turns out that at age 17, she was shunted off to a strict Catholic home for unwed mothers, and forced by circumstances, the time in which she lived, her unyielding parents, and the nuns themselves to give up her baby without being allowed to hold or see it. That momentous situation, it turns out, has colored the lives of all the sisters--even Merry, left brain damaged after a childhood accident. Her last wish was that Jilly and the other sisters find "Spring," the name she has, in her childlike innocence, chosen for the missing Season.
This is not a deep and unforgettable book, but it is well worth reading, and simply perfect for the beach, which is where I finished reading with a long sigh and many tears. Go for it!
Jilly, Birdie, and Rose - ¾ of the four Season sisters are gathered at their childhood home in Evanston, Illinois after the death of the fourth sister, Merry. It is Merry's last wish that will have the other three on an adventure which will not only have them searching for the child Jilly gave up for adoption 26 years earlier, but for themselves at the same time.
Jilly who left home years ago for elegance and wealth in Europe has returned for good. Despite her fancy clothes and furs, she is broke and all alone. Seemingly without purpose in life, her modeling career over, she really doesn't know who else to turn to but her sisters. Her whole life is a sham - will she be able to tell her sisters how broke she really is? Will she ever find the love of her life? And will her search for the daughter she gave up for adoption be successful?
The second sister, Birdie, has become a physician. Always the studious one, she has married Dennis Connor, a man who Jilly dated as a teenager, and has a teenage daughter, Hannah, who in typical teenage fashion is giving her mother a rather difficult time. Birdie's husband, too, is giving her grief. They don't seem to have the closeness they once had, and when Birdie insists on accompanying Jilly on her search for her birth daughter, Dennis gives her an ultimatum - come home now or our marriage is over. Birdie still chooses to side with her sister.
Third sister, Rose has been living at home taking care of the youngest, Merry, after the death of their parents. She really didn't mind and has juggled her caretaking duties with word processing at home. Rose doesn't get out much but she has traveled the world and met many people via the internet.Read more ›
In the typical fluff fashion (and anyone who has read my reviews knows how I feel about 'fluff'!), there were a lot of female characters 'turning on her heel' but thankfully, no 'hoydens'. It is basically the story of 4 sisters. Birdie - 'sensible' and married to a doctor, leading a life of quiet desperation. Rose - the recluse. Jilly - the 'wild one', and ex-model, who had a baby when she was a teenager. Merry - the last sister, who ended up brain damaged due to the sister's negligence (at least that's what I thought). Upon the death of Merry, the sisters are shown a videotaped last request that the feebled sister made, asking her sisters to "Find Spring!" which is Merry's code name for Jilly's illegitimate baby that was put up for adoption at a convent in Wisconsion. No one ever saw this baby, no one discussed it, but supposedly all the sisters knew about it. The sisters team up and head for Wisconsion, resolving all their childhood issues along the way. Birdie even starts an exercise program along with her teenage daughter, to which her daughter says something like, "I'll be buff when I get home." Sparking dialogue, wouldn't you say? Jilly manages to fall for the owner of the crappy motel they all stayed at. All the sisters end up making nice, find what they're looking for AND Birdie finds a way to make her marriage work - all in 3 freakin' weeks! I kept reading it because it makes me believe that if I can discipline my writing and organize it into 'x' amount of chapters, each with 'x' amount of words, problems and resolutions, that I can maybe finally make some money with my writing.
Jilly returns home from Paris, where she has lived for the last twenty years. A once successful model, she returns home almost penniless.
Birdie, a successful doctor, is unhappy in her marriage, and domineering to her only daughter, Hannah.
Rose, Merry's caretaker, has a secret online friendship with a man whose online name is DannyBoy. She is at odds with what to do now with her life, now that Merry is gone.
After the funeral, the family lawyer sits down with the sisters to disclose Merry's last wishes. Merry's last wish is for the sisters to find Spring, the baby Jilly gave up for adoption 26 years ago. With this request, the past is opened up, and the sisters must decide how to honor Merry's request. Together they embark on a journey through the past, and separately they embark on private quests, as they determine the paths they must follow.

If you need any help, I am always available to meet in one of our NYC branches. Good luck!
Javier Meneses
Senior Loan Officer
Sterling National Bank
(516) 606-9648
I don't know.. I keep hearing your husband is not eligible. He's making from 2011-2012 about 60K and he has 40% debt income from all his credit card and student loans. He's getting a 401K loan to pay off all his credit card which are about $20,000, but because he has student loans he still not eligible. I am a freelance officer admin and I am new to credit so i can't be his co-borrower. I need to make some credit, and get a full time job of $35,000 or more to be able to come in and help my husband purchase the co-op and the loan officer said that he doesnt even know if that will get him approved. I am hopeless! It's very difficult to buy anything in NYC. My husband has a great credit (750) always pays his bills on time and we have 20% down payment. We are ready but not according to a loan officer. I don't know what else to do.
Interesting scenario in that I'm not sure where or why you're coming up with the 25% Debt-To-Income (DTI) ratio and the other one of 40%. Were these numbers calculated by your mortgage professional?
Because most conservative guidelines for Conventional Loans and Government Insured Loans (including FHA, VA and USDA) have higher DTI requirements.
So, before you begin bringing family members in to assist you in qualifying (which is allowed under certain guidelines/programs) and potentially "mucking up the works" of your qualifications (those same guidelines can be more stringent when using Non-Occupant Cosignors), you need to get an accurate assessment of your qualifications, including a correct calculation of your Debt-To-Income ratios.
Meet with a Local Mortgage Banker in person for your mortgage Prequalification.
Mortgage Bankers in your community will provide you with a much higher quality of service and financing options than any "Big Bank." Local Mortgage Bankers have long been the source of excellent financing options for homebuyers. Further, Loan Originators who work at Mortgage Banks are LICENSED whereas Loan Originators who work for the "Big Banks" are REGISTERED. There's a BIG difference.
Sit down face to face with your Mortgage Banker to be thoroughly prequalified. The Mortgage Banker will review all facets of your loan request to answer your questions with regards to the types of loans and maximum loan amounts you could qualify for.
Consumers have been led to believe---thanks to huge advertising budgets with the BIG BANKS---that they should go to their bank for a mortgage loan. This is the WORST place to get assistance with the BIGGEST PURCHASE of your life! These BIG BANKS are basically BIG CORPORATIONS. You're a number, at best. With a Local Mortgage Banker you will be treated like a friend and a client for life. You can't imagine the high quality of personalized service you will receive from a Mortgage Banker until you try.
As to price---rate and fees---competitive if not better than the BIG BANKS.
You can verify the License of any Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator at nmls.consumeraccess.org

If you thought my answer was helpful, please give me a "Thumbs Up." Thanks!
There is not enough information here for us to give you a definitive answer. You need to speak to a mortgage banker and get yourself pre-qualified. When you do that, make sure that you, your husband and his parents all meet with the banker together to go over all of your qualifications. This way there will be no mistakes.

Having your husband's parents cosign may help or harm your chances depending on their own credit, income, assets and debt situation, of which you made no mention. Also, I'm not sure why you said your husband's debt to income ratio needs to be brought down to 25% for you to be approved. I routinely get buyers approved for mortgages of all sizes and types who have debt to income ratios that are higher than 40%. It's possible that your current lender, if you have one, may have uber conservative underwriting guidelines. The only way to know is to get a second opionion from a licensed and experienced loan officer working with a direct lender. I can provide you with a complimentary second opion without cost or obligation and can be reached directly at 917.699.0183 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

in my Visual Studio 2010 setup project, I have a managed Custom Action. It used to work great but will not on Windows 8 unless .NET 3.5 is installed. I can't force my users to have .NET 3.5 installed - well I could, but I'd lose customers.
I have a vague understanding that maybe it's not working with .NET 4 because the shim DLL (installutillib.dll) has a dependency on .NET 2?
Is there anything I can do to get it to work? I know managed CAs are frowned on by some, but need it to write a registry entry that depends on a bit of logic.
