Thanks for your time:
The DVD looks weak though. No widescreen? Just the trailer? Ok granted, a making of documentary might not be needed for this one, but at least give us a double layer disc so we can choose wide or full. I doubt there will be a special edition of this coming from MGM anytime soon, but It would be nice. I guess I should thank them for putting it out at all. However considering the cult following of this movie and our feelings on the matter, MGM should "try to be more sensative".
Jim Belushi (the tough, callous super agent) and John Ritter (a regular family man who's "average, maybe a little less") are perfect foils even as they slowly exchange personas: Belushi finding his more sensitive side while Ritter becomes a more assertive, resourceful, take charge 'kinda guy.
Real Men shares much in common with another of the funniest films ever made: The In-Laws. It's virtually the same premise: a buddy film about a regular guy dragged kicking and screaming into the covert, wacky world of espionage.
Both films hilariously turn the ridiculous into the sublime as the viewer first sees the story from the viewpoint of the "regular joe" whose life is turned upside down while he tries to remain calm. Gradually though, you come to accept the sincereity of Belushi's character (Nick Pirandello) and suspend disbelief at the preposterous situations because they're set up so well (like Soviet agents quitting in the middle of a gunfight because they're going to lunch - no incentives like we have in the free world.)
Well written with a great, bouncy score that compliments the film perfectly.
Finally starting to be taken seriously after some second looks and a new and growing appreciative audience.

V.19 No.30 |
Wasting time, the way only lawmakers can
By Patricia Sauthoff [ Fri Jul 30 2010 3:48 PM ]
Yesterday, I heard on the radio that Gov. Richardson might issue a pardon for Billy the Kid. Yes, that Billy, the one who murdered a few people back in the 1880s and became a legend. My first instinct was to ignore it. But I can't, it keeps coming up. Today, KOB has a whole, long article about the history of the conflict. It's good, read it. I don't want to rehash it.
My point is, SERIOUSLY? The governor of New Mexico actually has time to sit around and think about this? Clearly, the answer is yes. He also, in 2003, let the Lincoln County sheriff to reopen the case as to whether Billy the Kid was actually shot by Pat Garrett or whether Garrett shot someone else and Billy escaped.
If I was 8-years-old, I would totally want the outlaw to win, even a hundred years later. But I'm a grownup now, and wish lawmakers would spend their time more productively, say helping victims of domestic violence or issuing pardons to people who are alive and jailed wrongfully.
But, I'm optimistic and probably a cranky-pants. Please, if you think the Kid should have his name cleared, explain to me why in the comments. I really do want to understand why anyone cares.

Our favorite photos from this year's sporting events.
Roses Always: The "hack" only affected the clinton campaign because those emails proved that the DNC and hillary and the media were conspiring to destroy Bernie Sanders campaign. hillary is not the victim here. Bernie and the American voters are. Stop trying to make the Russians look like the bad guys when, in fact, the bad guys are the DNC and hillary clinton. The Clinton Machine didn't get away with hurting people and then being able to deny it this time! They got caught red-handed. Human rights mean nothing to the Clintons. Fair play means nothing to the clintons. Their only goal is power and money and they don't care what they must do to get it. I think most of the world agrees that Assange should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. After all, his actions served to inform the American people of how their government is conspiring against them.

Hurl Sack
But sometimes in the depths of semi-disaster, one can find inspiration.
This is a new product I figure would sell like hot cakes.
New Cubs Hurl Sacks®.
You know that queasy feeling you get watching the Cubs, and it's ohh, say the
7th and they're clinging to a tiny lead and in comes, well...any one of the Cubs relievers.
Wouldn't it be great to have a Kleenex-sized box of barf bags at the ready, on the side table right next to your frosty cold one?
"Wow" says Bob Brenly, "Marmol is missing the plate by SIX INCHES."
"Ball three." says Len.
Right about now you could just pull out a handy Hurl Sack®, open her up and start gagging.
"He walked him and the bases are loaded."
"Lou's gonna visit the mound."
"He's calling for Aaron Heilman."
"No, wait. He wants Gregg."
And finally, you know, just let it rip.
Toss your Cracker Jacks.
All without ever leaving the comfort of your couch!
All without any mess!
Plus, I guess you could do Yankee Hurl Sacks® or Padre Hurl Sacks® - any team would work.
Man, this is seriously a good idea.
Scott Boras, if you're reading this, gimme a call.
I think I'm gonna need an agent.
Tim Souers is the illustrator and author of Cubby Blue and appreciates the opportunity to guest blog here at The Cub Reporter.

Re: Hurl Sack
it worked well....
Re: Hurl Sack
Awesome product. Would like to suggest one to compliment the agressive side of all Cub fans' passive-agressive natures. A mini-Gatorade machine with a mini-bat so you can beat it all to hell when the bullpen is called up or when Soto can't put down a bunt or practically almost any other moment this season.

Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
I'm no business expert, but I'm pretty sure this means the repo man will show up soon to wheel off Soriano on a two wheel cart.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
I linked to the Trib article in Cubnut's game recap...
from what I get, Zell could care less about running the Trib and if the creditors wanted to keep him or lose him, that's fine by him. As for the sale of the Cubs, I would think it would only help. They just want their money by this point and Ricketts is their best option.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
speaking of the sale...uh oh
The Sports Business Journal has multiple sources saying the
exclusive negotiating period between the Tribune Co. and Cubs bidder
Tom Ricketts expired last month. The Tribune entered exclusive
negotiations with Ricketts in January, when the company selected him
over two other bidders to buy the Cubs, Wrigley Field and a 25 percent
stake in regional cable network Comcast SportsNet.
There was no comment from representatives for Ricketts or the Tribune.
According to the SBJ article, the problem appears to be the level of
involvement Tribune's WGN would have in the Cubs post-sale. WGN has
been paying below market rates for broadcast rights to the games, and
Ricketts wants that to change, sources said. The Tribune side has said
that the terms bidders agreed to in November outlined WGN's role, the
sources said.
What is not at issue is Ricketts' financing for the deal, the
sources said. Another SBJ source expressed optimism a deal would be
done soon, saying it would be hard for Tribune to go back out to the
market looking for another buyer. Ricketts has his debt and equity
lined up for the $900 million offer, though he is seeking up to a $50
million price reduction because of the WGN issue.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
So I'm seriously business-stupid... this is saying WGN & the Cubs (both owned by the Trib) had a deal where the Cubs would cut WGN a huge break on broadcasting rights (because they happen to have the same parent company) and Ricketts says screw that. Is that right?
I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on this.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on this.
Frankly, it stinks. WGN's tv deal was no secret before Ricketts made his bid.
When and if the Ricketts family takes over, it'll be interesting to see if they handle their players' contracts the same way they're dealing with Zell.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
WGN's tv deal was no secret before Ricketts made his bid.
Curious about this statement, the few articles in the business journals lately couldn't even nail down the specifics of the contract, other than it was negotiated sometime last fall and it could be up to 10 years.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
If I have been following it correctly, the TV contracted would have been negotiated after the potential suitors were given the detailed financials on the Cubs, which means it would have been precluded from any offer, because that offer would have a clause stating that any substantial changes that had taken place would open the deal for renegotiation which is what they're now doing.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
I believe they've already said the exact details of the TV/Radio deal were not known until farther into the process, which is why Ricketts is throwing a fit. His side has issued a statement that WGN is underpaying by 40-50 million per season for their TV/Radio rights. That didn't matter when it was the same owner, but why should a new owner put an extra 40-50 million per year into Zell's greedy hands?
Zell's angle on all this is incredible. Not only does he want a fortune for the deal, but he wants it to fit into his sneaky ways so he doesn't have to pay taxes on a 1 billion dollar transaction. Let's stop and think about that. Zell is the same as the shitty CEO's that have helped do their part to destroy our economy. He guts companies, fires thousands of employees, then sells off the parts to line his pockets with no regard for anyone but his bottom line. Now he's so greedy he refuses to pay taxes on his billion dollar profits. He's a scumbag.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
Which is exactly why I believe NO substantial new player acquisition will happen, other than near-net zero trade deals, before the deadline. We are stuck with Bradley, unless he as traded to an AL team - as AZ PHIL suggested sis weeks ago.
Should A-Ram not come back properly from injury, season is fucked.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
That's not right though. The player budget would be set, and it would include some money for mid-season trades, just like it has the last 6 seasons. A-Rod isn't coming on board for prospects, but there's probably some room.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
read the word "substantial", Mr. Literal.
Sure, maybe they could acquire someone like VizcIano, but under the circumstances, but under the circumstances they most likely will not be getting someone with any pedigree. Again, I am not ruling out trades if cash leveled.
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
Well, Mr Literal 'substantial' is an ambiguous word. They probably have $4 million budgeted. Would you consider Hanley Ramirez a 'substantial' acquisition? What about Evan Longoria? What about Mark DeRosa?
Re: I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on ...
yep, wonder how long it will be until Zell hires Julia Roberts to hangout in his hotel room for a week because he's playing the role of Richard Gere's character in Pretty Woman.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
we don't know the specifics, but I touched upon it a few weeks back.
sounds like last fall Zell and Trib gave WGN a 10-yr sweetheart deal on Cubs broadcasting rights for radio and television. The Zell and Tribune plan to keep WGN, so it certainly was in there best interest to keep the Cubs on there as long as possible and a cut rate.
Rickets, after reviewing the contract, decided that isn't gonna fly. Zell and Trib seem to want believe that it was part of what they agreed on in November.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
It's hardly news that the Cubs and Trib-owned entities have sweetheart deals. Every bidder knew or should have known this...
e.g. BP commented on the Cubs situation back in 2005
As the late great Doug Pappas reported two years ago, the Cubs regularly report less local media revenue than their crosstown rival White Sox, despite the fact that until this October you couldn't find a White Sox fan in Chicago with Google Earth. From there, let's allow sports economist Andy Zimbalist to pick up the story, from his book "May the Best Team Win":
So, what's going on? The Cubs are owned by the Tribune Corporation, which happens also to own WGN. The Tribune Corporation transfers revenue away from the Cubs and correspondingly lowers the costs of WGN. According to Broadcasting & Cable, the industry's authoritative source, the Cubs' local media earnings were $59 million. [In 2001; by 2003 this figure was $63 million. -ND] If the Cubs had reported this figure instead of $23.6 million, then their reported $1.8 million loss would have become a $33.6 million profit in 2001!
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
well neat...
but pretty much what Neal said, if the timeline that has been reported has been correct, books were opened up to potential buyers sometime last spring/summer and then Trib negotiated their own deal in the fall, most likely w/o asking or telling Rickets the exact details of what they were negotiating with themselves.
Of course without being in the room for any of this, it's impossible to know exactly what was known and not known at what time, but considering Rickets has wanted to own the Cubs all his life, he's probably risking jeopardizing the deal for good reason.
Re: Zell may lose control of Tribune Co.
When purchasing real estate, this is typically what title insurance is used for--to verify that no liens have arisen that don't yet show up on a title search for the buyer to be able to see. With a business deal like this, there is no way of verifying what is going on behind the closed doors of the company you're buying after the snapshot of the books and legal commitments that have been revealed as of a particular date. This is why Rickets I'm sure has a clause that allows him to walk away from the deal in the event that something like this happens...which it clearly has and he seems to be threatening to do just that.
Ultimately it's terribly unprofessional unless it's a negotiative strategy wherein you're trying to see if you can negotiate the deal to a different conclusion wherein this new commitment discounts the price by less than what the deal gains you on its flipside. Without knowing too much about this deal, I would guess that if this is the reason, the primary concern was that the deal with Rickets may fall apart and this deal in some way lessens the long term risks in the event of a postponed or renegotiated sale. In that event it certainly wouldn't demonstrate a lot of good faith on the part of the seller and regardless of value to the deal could torpedo the whole thing by eroding the buyer's trust. This is pure speculation, mind you.
That or Zells folks are dirty scoundrels who assumed that Rickets' attorneys would be too dumb to notice this. Stranger things have happened in larger deals than this.
Re: Hurl Sack
right now Guzman >> Marmol, even with the same work load.
(thankful for the TCR bullpen usage chart)
Re: Hurl Sack
I think our fearless manager should stop abusing Marmol's arm.
Re: Hurl Sack
But he should not compensate by abusing Guzman's arm.
Re: Hurl Sack
patton, waddell, and asscan can only be pitched once a week or it'll disturb the multi-player monopoly game they have going on. they're already mad they've had to replace k.hill's player with waddell.
marmol, gregg, and guzman can keep holding those "down by 2-5 runs" games within a few solo shots by soriano.
Random question...
anyone know a site or way to slice and dice historical team records? Like if I wanted to find out the Cubs record versus the Mets over the years? each decade? @ Wrigley...etc.
Besides going year by year through BR.com...
Maybe it's somewhere else on BR.com, but can't seem to find it.
Re: Random question...
Re: Random question...
much obliged....
Re: Random question...
When I was looking at the Cubs records over the years, I was thinking about how easy it used to be to make the world series (win a 8 team division), compared to now. Then I was thinking about how much bigger the leagues are then they used to be. Then I came upon a sort of startling thought about parity between the two leagues. It used to be that the AL was bigger (14 teams) and the NL always won the All-Star game. Now the NL is bigger (16 teams) and the AL always wins the all-star game. Which seems counter-intuitive, because a bigger pool should mean more good players to choose from. And the AL has been kicking the NL's ass for several years in interleague, so there's no real debate about which is the better league. Lots of people want to point to the Yankees, but what if it's more simple than that.
In the NL you've got a 4 in 16 chance of making the playoffs (roughly) a 2 in 16 chance of making the championship series and a 1 in 16 chance of making the world series, and finally a 1 in 32 chance of winning the world series (assuming all things are equal). Lets say that the playoffs makes you $10 million, the CS $2 million, the WS $5 million and winning it all $10 million. The average AL team would make about $.5 million more a year in that scenario (not looking at divisions which would make it a little more in the AL team's favor). Maybe that money goes part of the way in explaining the disparity in the league records and all star games.
And you're welcome.
Re: Random question...
That difference is negligible. A better indicator would be comparing average payrolls for the AL and NL over the last couple of years. The AL outspends the NL by a considerable margin.
The lowest payroll in the AL? Athletics $62,310,000
The lowest payroll in the NL? Marlins $36,814,000
Three other teams in the NL also come in lower than the A's
Re: Random question...
Another equalizing factor, at least over the last 4-8 years, has been that the very best-run small-market franchises - Minnesoat, Oakland and recently Tampa - are all in the AL.
It isn't too tough for most big-market teams to buy competitiveness, but the differences between the small markets of each league has been pronounced this decade.
Re: Random question...
Yes, but are they the best franchises because they're in the playoffs or are they in the playoffs because they're the best? I wouldn't throw Tampa Bay in with those others. Give MN and Oakland 8 years of top 8 picks, then you'll see some good teams.
Re: Random question...
Any of you TCR author types going to be doing your thing tomorrow? Think I am going to do a new, different, draft study if anyone wants to put it up.
Re: Random question...
I should have a draft preview for tomorrow.
Re: Hurl Sack
"I don't see anything wrong with Ricketts position on this."
I agree, Ricketts should be able to put the contract up for a fully open bidding process, and let the best broadcast bid win. This type of arrangement is becoming more exposed over the past few years - NBC was outed by none other than David Duchovney, who sued them for a greater share of royalties from "The X - Files" reruns on USA cable network. It turned out that NBC was selling the rerun rights at below - market rates to USA, primarily because they also happened to own most of that network as well.
Re: Hurl Sack
Cardinals losing 4-2 in the 7th inning. Harden pitching rehab assignment tonight. Ho-hum. Off day.
Rockies, behind Jason Marquis (8-4, 3.98), win to finish a 4-game sweep of the Cards in St. Louis.
Re: Rocks/Cards
Marquis now leads the NL in wins while pitching for a losing team.
Funny stuff.
Somebody please tell Geo to hit to RF -- everyone is pitching him away, he tries to pull everything....DP grounder to short.
Re: Rocks/Cards
How the fuck did he hit into a GIDP when the Cubs didn't even play?
Re: Rocks/Cards
it's that kinda season.
marmol also dressed up in disguise and threw 20 pitches of relief in the COL game in order to stay in game shape.
Re: Hurl Sack
more on Harden and Bradley slated to start Tuesday.
Re: Hurl Sack
Anyone want Josh Fields because he seems to want a trade:
He might be our best bet as any trade they make because of the sale has to be bascially be revenue neutral, and he makes less than 750k. He was heating up right before the Beckham call-up and have a 23 homer 70 rbi season to his credit.
Re: Hurl Sack
Josh Fields? Really? *groan* At least with Josh Fields around Fontenot wouldn't look so bad.
Soriano drops to 4th
in All-Star voting...Ibanez moves to the top of the NL list, as does Jimmy Rollins.
Phils must have had a bunch of home games before the deadline. Seems like they're a week behind counting these.
Re: Soriano drops to 4th
My fantasy team wishes he was playing like an all star. Hooray for blowing round 1 on a .222 batting average in June.
Guess which manager said this...
"Good teams win games. Horse[expletive] teams have meetings. We're having a lot of meetings right now."
Re: Guess which manager said this...
Has to be Ozzie, who else uses horseshit all the time like he does.
Re: Hurl Sack
Harden goes 4.2 IP, 6 K, 1 ER for Iowa. I'm hoping he was pulled after 4.2 because of a pitch count or something... 70 pitches.
In other news Miles goes 0-5 with 3 strikeouts for Iowa. They're going to get fed up with him pretty soon and send him down to Tennessee.
Nobody liked Miles when he was signed, nobody likes him now. It's as if Hendry is the only person in the world who liked the idea of signing Aaron Freaking Miles. It's so irritating. I know they can't put together 25 all-stars, but why put a guy in the lineup who is an automatic out? For the same batting average I'd much rather have Blanco playing and at least see some flashy defense.
Re: Hurl Sack
I think it was 75 pitches or 5 innings...missed it by that much.
Re: Hurl Sack
I saw Harden tonight; will post my observations in the morning...
Re: Hurl Sack
Dude? Major d*** tease. At least tell us he was just pulled because of a pitch count and not another injury.
Re: Hurl Sack
"Harden pitched tonight in Iowa: did his arm fall off? STAY TUNED."
Re: Hurl Sack
No injury! He was free & easy; just don't have time for more right now - don't worry!
Geez louis...
Geovany Soto had a breakthrough season last year, earning National League Rookie of the Year honors, but has regressed in '09. Micah Hoffpauir is contributing in a limited role, while Jake Fox, recently called up after tearing up the Pacific Coast League, can't find his way into the Cubs' lineup. Ryan Theriot has been consistent at short but lacks the dominant offensive numbers to make him an impact player. At this point, it appears that the top position player drafted by the Cubs in the last decade was an obscure catcher selected in the 38th round of the 2002 draft. That catcher turned out to be Randy Wells, now one of the most dominating rookie pitchers in the National League.
I love you Paul Sullivan...you make all us bloggers look smart.
Re: Hurl Sack
Cubs 2005 6th round pick 3B Kyle Reynolds (son of ex-MLB SS Craig Reynolds) has been released after "hitting" just 150/195/252 with 30 K and only two HR in 114 PA (combined) between Tennessee and Iowa, making room on the AAA Iowa roster for INF Luis Rivas, who was reactivated after spending the last six weeks on the DL with a hamstring injury. Rivas had three hits (a single, a double, and a HR) and four RBI in a rehab start at Fitch Park last Friday.As for Reynolds, he hit 21 HR combined between Daytona and Tennessee in 2007, but he's been going strictly backward ever since.
With the release of Reynolds, only three players selected and signed by the Cubs out of the 2005 draft remain in the organization (LHP Jayson Ruhlman and RHP Jake Muyco at AA Tennessee, and OF Dylan Johnston at Daytona).
2005 #1 pick LHP Mark Pawelek was released in Spring Training (he is now in the Cincinnati Reds organization), #2 pick LHP Donald Veal was selected by the Pirates in last December's Rule 5 Draft, and #3 pick RHP Mark Holliman was selected by the Brewers in the AAA Phase of last December's Rule 5 Draft.
Catcher Michael Brenly was selected by the Cubs in the 43rd round of the 2005 draft but did not sign (instead opting to attend UNLV), although the Cubs did draft him again last year and he did sign at that time.
By comparison, 17 of the players drafted & signed by the Cubs in the 2006 draft are still in the organization.
Re: Hurl Sack
Wow. So not only did the Cubs flub the entire draft that year, but our top three guys are now all with other teams in the division.
Re: Hurl Sack
There appears to be an interview with Tim Wilken about the '09 draft at Inside the Ivy, but it's premium-only, so if anyone has a subscription there, a summation would be just wonderful.
Re: Hurl Sack
I've got a draft preview coming up sometime today....would have been this morning, but too much wine last night and I deleted the bulk of my work.
As for the article, it's a whole lot of nothing....he basically says the commish office is cracking down about talking about individual players so there's no tease as to who they'll pick. Otherwise, likes athletes from the middle of the diamond (CF, SS), drafts the best player available regardless of position and if there is a need in the system it's left-handed pitching. He does feel they're pretty well stocked at catcher and shortstop. No real blue chip catching prospects in the system necessarily, but good depth and not like there's a big-time catching prospect in the draft this year that they could grab.
Re: Hurl Sack
Interesting and thanks.
You've got mail.
Re: Hurl Sack
Wow, for someone who very recently put a WS-winning team together, Kenny Williams is kind of baseball-stupid.

I am 70 years old. The Cubs last played in the World Series in 1945. I was born in 1946. I hate to lose a prospect like Torres, but when the opportunity is there to get that World Series ring, you go for it. This was the idea in stock piling all this young talent. I would like to see Reddick added now and the Cubbies should be done.
I would expect Richard to accept an optional assignment because based on how he's played this season, there is a decent chance that he won't find work elsewhere. Rather stay and potentially get a ring. Same goes for Coghlan since he's struggled mightily this year.
Edwards should not go down. He's pitched very well and Maddon is very impressed with him. I would expect Grimm to go down for Cahill so he can get back on track (he's pitched better in July, but he's not getting enough appearances).
chitownmvp01: Indeed Clayton Richard would seem to be odd man out once Chapman reports, but Richard might accept a minor league assignment if he is promised a return to Chicago on 9/1 when MLB Active List rosters expand (Richard has minor league ioptions left).
The only player in the deal that would cause me a second thought is Gleyber Torres.
McKinney and Crawford are decent prospects but both are redundant/replaceable in the system and Warren was really only a middle-reliever or #6 starter, so to me it's really just Torres for Chapman.
There is no Comp pick for players traded mid-season. 2+ months of Chapman is it.
to get one of the best you have to give up one/some of your best...but it's a bit painful to watch the system's best prospect walk for any 2-3 month rental, especially one that's not an everyday player.
I assume Chapman will replace Richard on the roster, but who goes down when Cahill gets activated? Maybe Grimm?
And when Soler and Coghlan get healthy, how do they fit them on the roster when they're ready to be activated?
We are giving up a lot, but it's not like we're trading Addison Russell for 2+ months of Jason Hammel. When impact players become available, they are going to cost you. The other bids could also have been high.
Having Chapman as a rental is potentially less disruptive than having him come in with an extension in place.
Billy McKinney had season-ending knee surgery last August and came to Minor League Camp this year somewhat restricted. (He was used mostly as a DH in Cactus League Minor League Camp games), and I'm not sure he's 100% right now (he's repeating AA, and his XBH numbers are way down, like he's not getting good rotation in his lowev half). That might have been part of the reason why the trade wasn't completed right away.
Rashad Crawford was a basketball star in HS (he was known as "Baby Jordan", and baseball was only his second sport) and he has plus-speed and athleticism, so when the Cubs drafted him (Keith Lockhart was the scout) he was seen as a long-term project.
I was at Fitch Park the day that Rashad Crawford became a LH hitter, He waa never a switch-hitter, He went directly from being a RH hitter to a LH hitter, which I had never seen before.
I'm with Rob G and Johann here. It's not about Chapman as a pitcher. I just don't want to have to block out a real problem (the domestic violence) in order to try to enjoy the frivolous ball and stick game.
ROB G & BOB R: You're right. The QO can only be extended if the player spends the entire previous season with one club, so only the Yankees could have offered one to Chapman (if he wasn't traded). If an Article XX-B FA is traded during the season, the new club can't offer a QO. .
i was going off what AZPhil said above...they keep talking about tweaking the rules, i didn't know if that had been changed or not. my winter/spring was way too hectic aside from a couple weeks vacation in janurary and i missed a lot of stuff.
if not, this is one hell of an expensive trade for what looks to be 30-40 innings of play...including the playoffs. damn.
Did the QO rules change?
unless there's a TARDIS involved, I dont believe that's a possibility
I didn't think you could offer a QO to a player who was traded during the season? For example, Lester was not offered a QO when the Cubs signed him.
I think the assumption is that make him a Qualify Offer and he signs elsewhere next year.

they game did not hold my 11 year olds attention very long he said the questions were much to easy and he didn't feel challenged , I played a few rounds myself and was inclined to agree with him .
I ordered this game for my 10 year old for Christmas at the last minute. I was very plleased with the price as this game came in a bundle for one price. I thought that it would not be delivered on time due to my ordering a few days before Christmas but Walmart came through by upgrading the delivery to express instead of standard delivery for no additional charge I just love Walmart and will definitely order and shop online again!

Xkeyscore tool gives NSA access to email, web history and Facebook
Documents from Snowden reveal snooping is worse than first thought
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA) has been snooping on web users' email, browsing history, Facebook Chat conversations and more through a programme called Xkeyscore, the Guardian has revealed.
The Guardian published some new documents provided by NSA PRISM whistleblower Edward Snowden on Wednesday, which reveal that the NSA's snooping is worse than was first thought.
Through a programme called Xkeyscore the NSA - along with outside analysts such as Snowden - can access web users' emails, Facebook chats, web browsing histories and, well, "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet", according to the document.
This reportedly can be accessed by NSA analysts without prior authorisation, the Guardian reported, although a FISA warrant theoretically is required if the person in question is a US citizen.
The Xkeyscore programme's vast database also allows its users to find people by email address, name, phone number, browser, language used, IP address, or specific keywords. The programme is hailed by the NSA as its "widest reaching system", and the Guardian reported that in 2012, 41 billion individual records were stored in Xkeyscore over one 30-day period.
Of course the NSA denies that it's doing anything wrong. In a statement sent to the Guardian it said, "NSA's activities are focused and specifically deployed against - and only against - legitimate foreign intelligence targets in response to requirements that our leaders need for information necessary to protect our nation and its interests.
"Xkeyscore is used as a part of NSA's lawful foreign signals intelligence collection system.
"Allegations of widespread, unchecked analyst access to NSA collection data are simply not true. Access to Xkeyscore, as well as all of NSA's analytic tools, is limited to only those personnel who require access for their assigned tasks ... In addition, there are multiple technical, manual and supervisory checks and balances within the system to prevent deliberate misuse from occurring."
"Every search by an NSA analyst is fully auditable, to ensure that they are proper and within the law.
"These types of programs allow us to collect the information that enables us to perform our missions successfully - to defend the nation and to protect US and allied troops abroad." µ

Framework for Unified Speech and Audio Coding
The purpose of this study is to propose a framework of unified speech and audio coding scheme that can compress speech and music equally well, and then to verify the feasibility of a highly efficient low-rate coding scheme. In this paper, a coding scheme is introduced by utilizing flexible time and frequency representation of a filter bank called Frequency Varying Modulated Lapped Transform (FV-MLT). Experimental results show that the proposed technology can improve the performance of existing technologies for speech and audio contents at low bitrates of 16 - 24kits/sec mono and stereo. We hope that this framework for unified speech and audio coding can deal with various kinds of audio contents at low bitrates and eventually provide a new opportunity for converged applications in mobile devices.

MacCammon to Participate in Sustainability Conference at Cornell University
This year, the Sustainable and Organic Gardening in a Warmer World Conference will be getting some seeds of knowledge from a member of the Fisher faculty. Dr. Linda MacCammon, Director of the Ethics Minor Program, will be participating in the conference, which will be held at Cornell University on October 5.

Shares of Mitsubishi Motors (MMTOY.PK) slump 5.5% after Japan's transport ministry issued its first-ever public rebuke of an auto maker, castigating the car maker over its latest recall application, its fourth one for the same safety issue. This brings the total number of vehicles recalled for the same problem - in this case for mini-vehicle engine oil leaks - to 1.78M, Japan's worst ever for a single recall issue.

From pattern to process: linking intrinsic water-use efficiency to drought-induced forest decline
Correspondence: Juan Carlos Linares, tel. + 34 953 212 551, fax + 34 953 211 873, e-mail: email@example.com
The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ca) has been related to tree growth enhancement and increasing intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE). However, the extent that rising Ca has led to increased long-term iWUE and whether climate could explain deviations from expected Ca-induced growth enhancement are still poorly understood. The aim of this research was to use Ca and local climatic variability to explain changes during the 20th century in growth and tree ring and needle δ13C in declining and nondeclining Abies alba stands from the Spanish Pyrenees, near the southern distribution limit of this species. The temporal trends of iWUE were calculated under three theoretical scenarios for the regulation of plant-gas exchange at increasing Ca. We tested different linear mixed-effects models by multimodel selection criteria to predict basal area increment (BAI), a proxy of tree radial growth, using these scenarios and local temperature together with precipitation data as predictors. The theoretical scenario assuming the strongest response to Ca explained 66–81% of the iWUE variance and 28–56% of the observed BAI variance, whereas local climatic variables together explained less than 11–21% of the BAI variance. Our results are consistent with a drought-induced limitation of the tree growth response to rising CO2 and a decreasing rate of iWUE improvement from the 1980s onward in declining A. alba stands subjected to lower water availability.

The week ahead on just-style...
By just-style.com | 18 April 2011
Taking a look at the week ahead for the footwear and apparel industry, here is a snapshot of just-style's latest news and insights agenda.
The UK's largest retailer Tesco will be reporting its full-year results in London tomorrow (18 April). Analysts expect new CEO Phil Clark to deliver strong growth from Asian and US markets, but UK profits still represent the bulk of the supermarket's profits.
just-style will be reporting on the company's clothing results during the period. This time last year, Tesco reported a 7.3% rise in clothing sales to reach the GBP1bn (US$1.54bn) mark for the first time over the fiscal year.
Meanwhile, UK luxury goods firm Burberry will be posting a second half trading update on The London Stock Exchange this week - with analysts predicting sales will rise a third.
Seymour Pierce analyst Kate Calvert says: "We expect Burberry to report a strong finish to the year with the focus on management guidance for next year. We are forecasting 2H underlying retail sales up 31.4% with comparable store sales up 10% and new space up 22% driven by China."
Other apparel companies reporting their latest financial performance this week include Wolverine World Wide, Hanesbrand and Sports Direct.
Sport Direct will be hard-pushed to equal the progress of rival JD Sports, which last week said its FY revenue increased by 14.8% to GBP883.7m, compared to last year, with like for like revenues increasing by 3.1%.
Nevertheless, Sports Direct saw its own sales rise 12.1% to GBP416m (US$674) for the 13 weeks ending 23 January 2011, while gross profit increased 8.4% to GBP167m. It also secured GBP220m (US$357m) in refinancing last month.

To get a better picture of who it's hiring for city positions, East Grand Forks is mulling contracting with a private firm for conducting background checks. The proposal made its first appearance before the City Council during the group's Tuesday work session.
While the Salvation Army is known for its holiday bell ringers, Grand Fork community members ventured behind the scenes on a tour of the charity Thursday to learn about its other services. A group of about a dozen people wound their way through the charity's 1600 University Ave.
The years haven't been kind to the 52-year-old East Grand Forks swimming pool. The concrete on its deck continues to shift and erode, leaving the surface uneven and preventing several doors to its bathhouse from opening — as Parks and Recreation Superintendent Dave Aker discovered Wednesday when he tried to enter the building. "It'll be good to have a new pool," he said, surveying its cracked surface. The pool's renovation is in sight with the City Council set to vote on allowing the city to advertise for bids at its meeting March 17.
Last week, the Grand Forks City Council voted to split updating a wastewater cost sharing agreement with East Grand Forks, leaving the latter city to decide if it's willing to pay. The original proposal asked Grand Forks to foot the bill of updating cost estimates for a potential wastewater interconnect project between the two cities.
The city of East Grand Forks cut funds to maintain flowers in this year's budget, but at least one resident still wants to see them planted, and he's asking others to help him see it done. Former council member Dale Helms voted to uphold a veto of a 10 percent tax increase that resulted in the city having to cut $180,000 from the budget it passed last minute on Dec.
Artist Bonnie Lee never wants to the world to forget the lives of her friend Tina Martin and cousin Dawn Sanquist-Anderson. Both women died at the hands of abusive men and Lee says often times in domestic violence situations, the focus remains on the deaths instead of the lives of victims. "So many times those headlines concentrate on the sensational part of it and they forget there was a real person behind that," Lee said from her home in Red Lake Falls, Minn. To memorialize these women and to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence in Minnesota, Lee started the Beautiful Life Pr
Frustrated East Grand Forks residents lashed out Tuesday at their City Council before it voted to hold off on taking action to collect on a $510,000 city loan that has gone unpaid for more than a decade. The council voted to adopt a resolution Tuesday saying the city will take "no action to pursue foreclosure and civil action" on the loan made to Boardwalk Enterprises and will instead wait for the city to be in a better position to collect on the loan. Two residents who spoke out called for the council to put the issue to bed once and for all. "I don't think it's right to put this thing off
The maple syrup and donations were flowing Tuesday at the IHOP in Grand Forks. IHOP declared March 3 as National Pancake Day and gives away a free shortstack to every customer, asking he or she make a donation to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. It's a cause that's close to server Callie Von's heart. Zon, 22, donated all of the tips she made to the charity in honor of her best friend Taylor, who passed away at the age of 15 from leukemia. "It means a lot to me," said Zon, who has a daughter of her own named Taylor after her friend.

Why Tim Thomas Could Use a Hug
As the Dallas Mavericks prepared for Thursday's parade to celebrate the team's NBA title, I couldn't help but think about Tim Thomas, the 6-foot-10, sweet-shooting, supposed-to-be-Mavericks forward.
Thomas could've been there under the confetti, smoking a stogie and waving to the crowd with Dirk Nowitzki. Instead, he'll be here in New Jersey with his family. There will be no ring and no share of the team's playoff bonus pool.
Last September, Thomas said 'goodbye' to his team and 'I'm-here-for-you' to his wife, Tricia, who is suffering from an illness the family has not disclosed.
Thomas didn't return calls this week. Bob Myers, his former agent, said Thomas hadn't talked to him either since the Mavericks finished off the Miami Heat in Sunday's Game Six. Even Thomas's cousin, Jimmy Salmon, who doubled as his high-school coach in Paterson, N.J., said the former Knicks player has been making himself scarce.
"I think Tim would have really enjoyed being there," Myers said of the Dallas celebration. "You don't see people making these types of decisions often."
Thomas was an absurdly versatile and gifted teenager who went to Villanova for a year and was then drafted No. 7 overall in 1997 by the New Jersey Nets. He was immediately traded to Philadelphia and in a 13-year career, he's played for the Bucks, Clippers, twice for the Knicks and twice for the Bulls. In 824 games, he's averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds and put together a fine career. Fine, not great.
His coach with the Bucks, George Karl, once said he was his team's most talented player. Celtics sharpshooter Ray Allen once said Thomas could be the league's best player if he wanted to be.
What's sad about Thomas's situation, beyond of course his family crisis and its cruelly inopportune timing, is that Thomas probably didn't do himself any professional favors. A popular saying among NBA scouts is that in basketball, if the family is No. 1, basketball has to be No. 1A. If a player is truly driven, the most important thing in his life is a passion to improve. Larry Bird was so driven he spent entire off-seasons logging late nights at a local high-school gym, bouncing chest passes off the walls. In December of 1992, Michael Jordan told Chicago Bulls beat writers that he was working as hard to get his third NBA title as his wife was to deliver their third child.
Myers, Thomas's former agent, has a new job now. He's the assistant general manager of the Golden State Warriors. Even as he talked about the respect he has for his former client and how Thomas has told him he wants to play again, he said it's possible that some NBA teams may not pursue him because he picked his family over basketball.
One NBA scout put it more bluntly. "Anyone who takes care of their family first, they get a big tip of the hat. But yeah, I do think people will be gunshy now."

- Reviews
'Trust is critical to effective negotiating. The Trust Factor is full of useful negotiation advice combining Jensen's impressive negotiation experiences with insights from behavioral economics and trust research. The book is clearly written and the advice is straightforward.' Daniel L. Shapiro, Ph.D., Director, Harvard International Negotiation Program and co-author, Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as You Negotiate
'Keld Jensen's book is full of great insights on how to build negotiation competency and develop long term relationships underpinned by trust. This book is very relevant for company executives who have business dealings in Asia where the TRUST Factor and the ability to connect ('Guanxi') must be established as key success factors between western companies and their Asian business partners.' Peter Woon, Vice President, Procurement and Supply Chain, Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd
'A superb and deeply relevant book which is refreshing and thought provoking. This book will help build bridges between trading partners and highlights the unlimited possibilities for those who chose to adopt the principles of Negotiating in SMARTnership. I assure you that we at Deutsche Bank will employ this in our negotiations going forward." Joseph Martinez, Head of Global Sourcing, APAC, Deutsche Bank AG, Asia Pacific Head Office, Global Purchasing and Cost Management
'This book outlines a transition, from negotiation as an event, to negotiation as a process. In making that journey, it provides compelling evidence of the value that is missed by conventional negotiators and provides insights to a winning combination negotiation, trust and behavioral economics. Together, these elements generate new, value-add solutions that support sustainable and highly profitable relationships. Easy to read, practical to implement, substantial in its personal and business impact reading this book really is non-negotiable!' Tim Cummins, President/CEO of International Association For Contract & Commercial Management
'In The Trust Factor, Keld reminds us that our irresistible lure to a focus on results, and to "win" also narrows our focus so we can't see alternatives. Counter-productive practices like "bluffing" and over-reliance on data, feed a cycle of sub-optimal negotiations. Keld explores more rarified ideas such as: How do we find asymmetrical value? Why do people trust you? He provides a rich set of examples, tips, and tactics where you are sure to learn (or relearn) something that you can use tomorrow!' Dr. Dennis Baltzley, Senior Vice President, Executive Education, Thunderbird School of Global Management
'Anyone looking to be an excellent negotiator must read this book. Keld has completely shifted conventional thoughts on negotiation. Now everyone can win and win big!' Rodney Cheah, General Manager, TenCate Geosynthetics

Data on birth outcomes are important for planning maternal and child health care services in developing countries. Only a few studies have examined frequency of birth outcomes in Zimbabwe, none of which has jointly examined the spectrum of poor birth outcomes across important demographic subgroups. We assessed delivery patterns and birth outcomes in 17 174 births over a one-year period from October 1997 to September 1998 at Harare Hospital, Zimbabwe. The annual rate of stillbirth was 61 per 1000 live births, rate of preterm birth (<37 weeks) was 168 per 1000, and low birthweight (LBW) (<2500 g) was 199 per 1000. Not attending antenatal care (prenatal care) was associated with increased risks of stillbirth [relative risk (RR) = 2.54, 95% CI 2.21, 2.92], preterm delivery [RR = 2.43, 95% CI 2.26, 2.61] and LBW births [RR = 2.16, 95% CI 2.02, 2.31]. Preterm births and LBW births were more likely to be stillborn [RR = 7.26, 95% CI 6.28, 8.39 and RR = 6.85, 95% CI 5.94, 7.91]. In conclusion, the rate of stillbirth is high and is predominantly associated with preterm births and to a lesser extent LBW. Reducing the frequency of stillbirth will require a better understanding of the determinants of preterm births and strategies for addressing this particular subset of high-risk births.
