Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
- Rosenthal says the Braves are growing impatient and may pull their offer by Friday when free agency opens up. USA Today says "one team" is demanding a resolution by the 14th (let's take a guess on which team). Rosenthal goes on to say the Padres have sent counter-offers to the Cubs and Braves, although he doesn't think either team will up the ante. In terms of players involved, he mentions Sean Marshall and possibly Josh Vitters.
- Sullivan thinks the Cubs are offering about 4/50 to Dempster right now.
- The Toronto Globe and Mail thinks Dempster is pretty likely to stay a Cub and says he'll take a discount if the Cubs acquire Peavy.
UPDATE: Buster Olney says the Cubs and Padres are trying to get a 3rd team involved and that Josh Vitters might be in play. I'd be surprised if the Cubs dealt Vitters or Samardzija myself, but you never know.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Can we have the old Rich Hill back? A Z, Peavy, Demp, '07 Hill, Lilly rotation would be alright. Of course they won't score any runs in the playoffs, so who gives a shit.
What happens to Harden? I'm sorry, I should know this, but I've tried to think about the Cubs as little as possible the last two months.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think if Cubs get Dempster and Peavy they will flip Harden for a lefty bat?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think there is something to the Padres withdrawing their offer to Hoffman? Like maybe they are getting a potential power arm to try at closer from the Cubs, i.e. Samninja or Ceda? Or someone from the Braves? Or maybe its nothing.

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

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I've read in a couple places now about maybe Adam Dunn to the Cubs. Can he even play RF? He sure can't play LF worth a damn, but if he has a strong arm (I don't know, does he?), there's no reason he'd be any worse in RF than in LF, right?
He would certainly address the Cubs' age-old need for a LH power bat in the middle of the order. If they signed him, I imagine he would be the heir apparent at 1B once Lee's contract is over.
Final question, this one about Brian Roberts. Would the Orioles at all be interested in Mark DeRosa as part of a Roberts trade? I wonder if the Cubs could put together trade packages for BOTH Peavy and Roberts; I'm not convinced the Cubs have enough quality young players, but maybe DeRosa would help them get it done.
If the Cubs DID somehow acquire Peavy, Roberts and Dunn, I'm buying my World Series tickets right now.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
The Cubs already have two heir apparents for first base in Ramirez and Soriano.
I am not sure about Dunn's arm. He was a college QB, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's playable, though I don't know why the Reds wouldn't have played him in right. The other option would be to move Soriano to right (or center), but his arm is a little short for that.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
ive heard this Dunn/Cubs/RF crap, too.
yes, pinella will play guys in RF who have no business there, but not regularly (thankfully).
dunn can barely play LF and his arm is clunky. hell, he can barely play 1st.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Right field has the fewest plays.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
but generally requires the best arm.
having said this, Dunn was a college qb. I bet his arm is better that we think
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
dunn's arm isn't that bad, but it's not good or accurate. he's also battled off/on soreness with his throwing arm almost yearly.
much like the entire package that is adam dunn he's got an amazing set of tools he applies really oddly.
it makes me wonder how good of a player he could be if he actually liked the game as much as some other players out there. there's more than a few that think dunn could use a clemens meets schilling lockerroom "talk" to get him into the game more.
Recent comments
How about Kyle Farnsworth? I know he was consistently upper 90s.
If he puts up Soriano numbers I will be ecstatic
I think Javy is learning--but he's learning to make contact, not learning to lay off pitches out of the zone. A quick glance at his plate discipline numbers on Fangraphs shows that his contact rate is up, especially his contact rate out of the zone, but his swing rate is up too, especially his swing rate out of the zone.
I definitely saw ballpark radar guns go up to 102 on Kerry Wood back when he was still a starter, but who knows how accurate they were.
They've mentioned Henry Rodriguez (2013), Chris Carpenter, and Andrew Cashner as Cubs who have gone 100+. They said Rodriguez was tops at 100.8. Who knows before 2008?
Regarding Heyward--
He'll play regardless of what he does, just like Soriano played for seven years before they finally ditched him.
What can they do? All I can think of is they can keep hiring and firing hitting coaches until they find one who can get him to stop hitting balls with the handle of the bat.
(All those broken bats added to his paycheck is just a bit much.)
Lester will probably be all right.
I think Arrieta might have added too much muscle preparing for that butt-naked ESPN photo shoot. Pitchers are supposed to be loose, not muscled up.
I have basically written off Heyward for this year -- if you are working on major swing changes in late July, you are going to struggle. Hopefully, he can be more productive at the plate next year. It will be interesting to see what they do with him if the Cardinals keep winning and close the gap. Heyward is dead last in the NL in slugging and in the bottom 5 in OPS -- yet still has a positive WAR. Hunh.
Has anybody in a Cub uniform ever thrown a ball 103 before?
He certainly looks better, no doubt, and is a different player than what we saw when he first came up. Full credit to him for changing his approach and saving his career.
But he has zero walks in 35AB since the break, and 10 in 251 AB all year. He does seem to be able to hit some pitches out of the zone, but, a guy with his pop should be drawing more walks. However, it's easy to forget he is still only 23, and probably trying to make an impact to prove he should be an everyday player.
The usual suspects, Molina and Wong. Gyorko drew a walk with two outs, none on. I recall us (particularly Szczur and Bryant) swinging at everything Familia threw.
Yup. Thanks Q
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTNekUcY-XM
I for one hope that Sosa comes back soon.
O/B interesting you should mention that. Google ESPN Science Aroldis Chapman and you'll be treated to how his mechanics and delivery are possibly historic. It's the 120% of his body stretch plus the torque. They compare him to the Unit and NRyan.
Amazing how much lower the production gets when Bryant runs into a mini-cold streak. He doesn't stay cold for long. If just one of Zobrist or, gulp, Heyward, gets hot, they oughta have one more really nice winning streak in them. Having a closer that you have absolute confidence in can't hurt.

AbstractFuture space-borne cloud radars will require significant technical innovations for improving remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere and that of other planetary bodies such as Venus and Saturn's moon Titan, which have significant cloud cover. One critical innovation required is a pulse compression scheme at W-band (95 GHz) with ultra-low range sidelobe levels - on the order of 90 dB. The current space-borne cloud radar flying on CloudSat is an outstanding technical achievement but lacks sensitivity to weakly reflecting low altitude clouds. Because these clouds play a significant role in modulation the Earth's radiation budget follow-on missions will have to address this limitation. Pulse compression (coded) waveforms can maximize transmitter duty cycle usage and thus system sensitivity. However, the reflection from the Earth's surface can easily mask the cloud signal via the coded waveforms range sidelobe response. The requirement for detecting these clouds from space is severe and significant innovations are required to meet them. The proposed research addresses this requirement and is supported by staff who have significant experience in MMW system development, having built and flown the first airborne cloud radar utilizing FM chirp pulse compression.

Windows 7
External Drives not showing
However, on the Win 7 laptop from time to time I will plug in one of the ext hard drives and it doesn't show up. I know how to find it and get a drive letter assigned but does anyone have any idea why this is happening.
I have two ext hard drives and it has happened to both of them.
Delete items from the Windows Update list?
I have three 2TB MyBook external USB devices, so I checked with Western Digital to see what this is all about. They said it is not essential, and that if my USB drives are working fine (they are), I can ignore it.
But a window keeps popping up to tell me that it needs to be installed.
How can I remove an item from the list of updates (without changing the settings I have now)?
Saved audio cd not playing - but playable from CD
Explorer/View/Extra Large Icons - Larger size required
Can this be done?
Remote Desktop To Windows XP
I have several Windows 7 machines, all able to remote desktop to each other no problems.
I added two Windows XP machines to the network, and could not remote desktop to them.
Went through all the troubleshooting, and realised they have Windows Firewall enabled on them. So I went in and ticked the box in the Exceptions. This still did not work.
I shortly discovered I could connect if I used their IP addresses, but not if I used their machine names.
I later discovered that if I turned off the firewall completely, the connection worked no issues.
The answer lies in the Exceptions entry for File and Print Sharing. You don't have to tick this box entirely if you do not want to, but there are two ports in there that need to be openfor Windows to locate the machine by its NetBios name: 137 and 139.
I realised this when I read the below KB article:
It shows that those ports are used by the local machines NetBios name service. So you will have to open up more than just port 3389 in the firewall if you want to connect by machine name.
Exported Database link does not work
Is there a way I can fix this? I have other database links on my desktop and they all work, except this one.
URL shortcut on desktop with non-default browser
Some folder icons now show padlocks?
Backup Size Different
Files saved to desktop not visible until hit refresh (F5)
Just recently (in the last couple of weeks) any file I save to the desktop does not show up visibly until I hit F5 to refresh the screen. It is a bit annoying when I am researching something and saving a lot of pictures or PDFs and leave before I hit F5.
Remote Desktop Connection on LAN
Is this possible it connects flawlessly the other person still needs to work on particular program so login screen is preventing this.
Remove the background from desktop shortcut name
How to change Desktop clock font?
How to leave a Homegroup and fix shared folders problem?
My desktop OS is Win 7 Pro with SP1.
All 3 computers are designated Workgroup.
I just noticed that on my computer if I open Network and Sharing Centre and click Homegroup in the left pane, and then click "Leave the Homegroup" I am told I cannot. How can I leave Homegroup?
All 3 computers can see the shared folders on the other 2, but my friend's laptop and desktop cannot open the shared folders on my desktop. The access denied etc. message comes up. How can I resolve this problem?
Dragging desktop icons
Desktop is displayed upside down
Desktop Decreased in size and centred
Difference between windows local admin and a domain admin.
Windows 7 32 bit & Outlook 2003 not connecting to Exchange Server
I installed MS Office 2003 Sp3 and everything there seems to work. Outlook even seems to work mostly except when I try to setup an Exchange Server (2003) mail account. I keep getting the message "There was an error locating one of the items needed to complete this operation.
It might have been deleted". This is what I get when I just put in the server name and username then click the "check name" box.
If I type in the full server & domain name and the full user name and click next or more settings options I get "The account you have added is not fully configured. It might notwork properly until re-configured correctly."
And I can only hit cancel from here, it won't let me proceed any further.
I have checked the event logs for any errors and warnings and found these:
Application Event Log - Warning
Security policies were propagated with warning. 0x534 : No mapping between account names and security IDs was done....

This shows in the text, which has grammatical and punctuation errors on virtually every page (I may be more fussy than most because I write documentation for a living), and in the tutorials, which may leave out a critical step, setting or condition. That may make the process confusing, or make finishing the exercise impossible without backing up to figure out what we SHOULD be doing to get what the book shows, which adds minutes or hours to the learning process.
One tutorial, for example, starts with a downloaded Fireworks file that isn't set up the way the book shows it. After a few steps you have to restructure the file to continue. The final tutorial has inconsistencies between the book illustrations and the downloaded tutorial file, and between illustrations on different pages.
Our teacher publishes an errata sheet for the class so we don't spend too much time mired in confusion; and a Friends of Ed rep informs me he is passing on our feedback to their editorial team. This is not as helpful to owners as Lynda.com's Web-published errata sheets (a great marketing tactic that not only maintains the book's value and affirms the publisher's commitment to quality but gives customers a reason to visit their site), but it holds promise that the next version will be cleaner and more straightforward to learn from.
So if you buy this tome to learn to use Fireworks, be prepared to get a good introduction to Fireworks' many features. But if you plan to learn by doing the tutorials (the only way), be prepared for occasions when what happens isn't what the book says should happen, and you'll have to back up to sort things out.
The book is very well paced, moving you along very quickly. I am an intermediate user and found out so many things that I never knew. Then on to the "Hero" section of the book where you work with vectors to create a simple tabbed folder, making decorative ornaments and my favourite chapter - "Spectacular Text Effects". 3D text, metal text, filling text with an image are just a few of the great text effects highlighted. From here you move on to colour enhancements andretouching photos. And then you also get to create some interface - with metallic buttons and pop up menus, hotspots, disjointed rollovers and much more. Simply amazing tutorials!!
The final 2 chapters cover the "Super Hero" status with topics including using extensions with Fireworks MX, automation tools, creating your own extensions, and finally integrating Fireworks MX with Dreamweaver MX. This was a real eye opener for me. Some great information here for a productive work flow using these two programs.
The techniques taught in this book are simple yet remarkably stunning!! Lots of really worthwhile tips covering all aspects of web images using Fireworks. There is a colour section in the book with samples of some of the projects built along the way. All of the excercise files can be downloaded from the Friends of Ed website. All in all, a terrific book full of great tips, techniques and excercises. Joyce's writing style is a joy to read and follow. A great addition to anyone's reference book arsenal!!
Why only 4 stars? The book's in black and white, with only a small section in colour, which really doesn't do justice to the contents. Still, it's very reasonably priced, and good value for money.

Matusz impressed teammates and manager Buck Showalter during his first spring training bullpen session, however all agree it's too early declare he's back - much less assume he'll be able to win a spot in the starting rotation coming out of what figures to be a competitive camp.

After an epic three-month rental I finally decided to finish Red Steel 2. Under most circumstances I would've dropped the game in the face of Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I hung on because the title's level of interest and importance to gaming as a whole go beyond its actual quality.
I never played the original Red Steel because I could see from the first screenshots and videos that it wasn't going to be a very good game. The art, graphics, production values, everything looked just plain shoddy - and not compared to HD generation games even, but compared to PS2 and Gamecube games.
This franchise only get's as much attention as it does because the original game was the first tangible software Nintendo fanboys saw running on what is now known as the Wii. I wasn't surprised with the first Red Steel's critical reception.
In most areas, Red Steel 2 does not redeem the name. One thing that constantly stuck out for me with Red Steel 2 was how all character interaction and animation outside of combat was relegated to pre-rendered FMVs. The in-game environment felt about as alive as an N64 shooter, or something I'd have made in the TimeSplitters map editor (nothing against TimeSplitters). I'd say the same for the actual quality of the shooting mechanics (which mostly resemble Metroid Prime 3 just a lot less inventive).
The samurai/western setting and cel-shaded graphics were smart aesthetic choices, but the story and characters are just something you'd rather ignore throughout the whole game. Half the characters are old guys with Pai-Mei beards - that's how bad it is.
Despite all this, I stuck with Red Steel 2 because the motion control sword fighting... actually wasn't really bad. If nothing else it shows some pretty intriguing potential.
Red Steel 2's combat system does the right thing by starting out with Wii Sports Resort's Swordplay Showdown mode as its base. If you haven't played that mode in Resort and still don't believe in motion controls, you are doing yourself a disservice. Red Steel 2 only really falters by not going far enough and because of a couple game-breaking moves you get later on.
Like Resort, Red Steel 2's challenge and strategy is based on matching your enemy's guard and attacks depending on horizontal or vertical orientation. From the very beginning of the game you have to block and counter enemy moves. Waggling won't even get you the basic movements. This had me interested enough to stick with the game, waiting for a point where enemies would stop telegraphing at glacial pace.
Eventually you do fight enemies that require you to watch your guard, positioning, etc. I found myself doing things like parrying at the right time and waiting for an opening in my enemy's defense. There's even at least one boss who, when you're waiting to parry him, will disguise the direction of his attack and switch up at the last second. In this regard though Red Steel 2 unfortunately doesn't go as far as Resort did.
Eventually I earned moves in Red Steel 2 that let me effortlessly parry enemies, stun them, out-maneuver them, and break their guard. After this point most enemies went down in less than three moves. The game turned into an easy and ordinary character action game that is completely functional on Wii controls, but no longer a promising interface evolution for the genre.
As you go up the levels in Resort's Showdown mode, each fight with a strong enemy actually becomes a little bit of a strategic face-off. Keeping up with their shifting guards and looking for openings actually felt a little bit like the silent, motionless mind games that started every swordfight in Akira Kurosawa films, ending with a single decisive combo.
Later on in Resort there are enemies who rarely strike first at all, but simply sit there and wait for you to make a mistake so they can parry, leaving you stunned with only enough time to see and parry their counterattack. Sometimes this even leads to legitimately intense exchanges of back-and-forth parries. That's a level of weapon combat slightly deeper than anything that's ever been possible with conventional game controls.
Red Steel 2 however looses that level once it starts giving you moves that disregard the blocking and striking system described above. If I were Ubisoft I would've maybe made it so that players had to perform the parry and guard break moves with the correct type of sword strike to get a stun. Even more interesting is the fact that Red Steel 2 can detect diagonal sword swipes at more than eight different angles - a whole level of control accuracy that it just leaves on the floor.
Red Steel 2 is one of those games that, while overall pretty crappy, should probably still be looked at because it contains valuable ideas for game design. The game proves that it is possible that one day, someone might make a motion control melee combat game that's actually playable on a hardcore level. I'd really like to see what Namco, Capcom, or Sega would do with a similar idea.
- So now we're getting rumors a bit more concrete that we might actually get that Team Ico collection on the PS3. Apparently people have already been playing Shadow of the Colossus in HD and at 60fps on emulators (though not flawlessly). This video of what it looks like proves that Sony definitely needs to go through with this.
If they don't do this collection, at the very least they need to reprint Ico. Colossus isn't very hard to find but ever since that Last Guardian trailer upped interested in Ico, prices on it have skyrocketed.
- This is probably one of the greatest ideas in the history of flash gaming - play through Super Mario Bros. as other 8-bit characters. Right now it's just Mario, Simon Belmont, Bill from Contra, Samus, Link, and Mega Man. Eventually though we're getting Ryu Hayabusa, which looks just plain sick.

You can explore the campus with the official CSUN mobile app, which you can download at m.csun.edu. The GPS-enabled map allows you to search for buildings and departments, campus dining facilities, etc., as well as walking directions. You can also look at and print a map. Los Angeles may be known as a city of cars — but with congested freeways and steep gas prices, buses and the subway have become viable options for the daily commute. College discounts and frequent-use passes further reduce costs. With a bit of planning, not only can you get by in Los Angeles without a car, but you can save some serious cash doing so.
Two major airports serve the Northridge community. The Burbank Bob Hope Airport is 17 miles from campus, and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is 24.5 miles away.
To and from Burbank Bob Hope Airport
• Shared ride vans — SuperShuttle and Prime Time
• Taxis
• Transportation network companies — Lyft and Uber
To and from LAX

Store your bike at one of the fully enclosed Matador bicycle compounds on campus. A bicycle compound will protect your bike from theft and the elements. There is a one-time administrative fee of $7, and sign-up is on a first-come, first-served basis.
If your bicycle is stolen or lost, you are more likely to recover it if it is registered. Print and fill out the bicycle registration form and bring it to the Department of Police Services along with your bicycle and driver's license or university ID card. Registration is free and you will receive a sticker for your bicycle and a card with a registration number. Keep the card handy in case your bicycle is ever stolen.

Starting in 2016, Associated Students has introduced Zimride by Enterprise, a free online ride-matching service exclusively for CSUN. Log in to the secure online environment to find friends, classmates and coworkers going where you are, whether it's for a daily commute, road trip or one-time event. Both drivers and passengers can save money and help reduce carbon emissions.
Electric vehicle charging stations
If you drive an electric vehicle, you're in luck. CSUN supports sustainability with eight electric vehicle charging stations located in campus parking lots. Charging is free at CSUN, but your vehicle must display a valid CSUN parking permit. Check the time limit on the charging station stall to avoid a citation. For more information, visit the Parking and Transportation Services website.
Use the campus map to find the electric vehicle charging stations located in the following parking lots.
• B2 has four chargers (northeast corner) .
• B4 has two chargers (south side, near Information Booth 2) .
• B5 surface lot has three chargers (northeast, outside the north wall of the B5 parking structure) .
• B6 has three chargers (southwest corner) .
• G3 surface lot has four chargers (southwest corner) .
• G9 has two chargers (southwest corner on the second level and west wall of the parking structure).
• F2 has three chargers (northeast corner) .
• F5 has two direct current quick chargers (northeast corner).
Housing shuttle
If you live in the dorms, the housing shuttle stops at the Suites at University Park, F8 parking lot, the soccer and baseball fields, and Redwood Hall. During finals week, the shuttle operates until midnight.
Public transportation
There are various public transportation options to and from CSUN. The Antelope Valley Transit Authority, Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) and Metro provide direct service to campus. Buses pick up and drop off at the CSUN transit station on Etiwanda Avenue and Vincennes Street.
Planning to ride Metro frequently? Follow Metro's Twitter account for the most up-to-date information about delays or street closures, and apply online for a reduced-fare monthly student pass. Once Metro mails you a TAP card (which can be used when transferring from Metro to other participating transit systems), bring it with your student ID to the Associated Students Ticket Office to pay. You will receive an additional CSUN discount ($10 off).
CSUN runs a Metrolink shuttle between campus and the Northridge Metrolink Station for student commuters. Morning shuttles pick up riders at the Metrolink train station and drops them off at the CSUN transit station on Etiwanda Avenue and Vincennes Street. Afternoon shuttles pick up at the CSUN transit station and the University Student Union on Lindley Avenue. The shuttle arrives at the CSUN transit station about 30 minutes before train departure times and at the University Student Union about 25 minutes before. Check the Metrolink website for train schedules. To travel to or from the Northridge Metrolink Station outside of shuttle operating hours take the LADOT DASH bus.
The closest Amtrak station is in Chatsworth, about five miles from campus. You can save 15 percent on Amtrak fares by applying for a Student Advantage Card. To use the Student Advantage discount, you must reserve your tickets at least three days in advance.

A house that has been around a while might be in need of updating or in some cases require a complete overhaul. Just like a house, a financial plan needs to be updated or reconstructed from time to time to accommodate the stages and changes that occur in life. Sometimes the changes needed are easily seen and in some cases they are not quite as visible. A good architect can detect the issues and develop a plan to solve the problems and explore the possibilities just like a good wealth advisory team can help you make smart decisions with your money.

Understanding your health savings account (HSA)
- Overview
- How to enroll
- University seed contribution to your HSA
- View your HSA balance and activity
- Change your contributions
- Retaining ownership of your HSA
- Receive your reimbursements
Looking for plan providers or health care providers?
Visit our plan contacts page for more information.
If you enrolled in the Healthy Savings Plan, you may be eligible to enroll in a health savings account (HSA). An HSA allows both you and/or the university to contribute to a tax-favored account that can be used for health care expenses. To be eligible for an HSA:
- You may not be covered by another health plan (including Medicare).
- You may not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
- You, or your spouse, may not be enrolled in a general purpose health care Flexible Spending Account.
If you are an active faculty or staff member (as opposed to a retiree), the university contributes annual seed money to your HSA in one lump sum. The amount is determined by your HSA enrollment date, per the table below. You are not required to contribute any funds in order to receive the university's seed money. However, you do have to complete HSA enrollment with the account administrator in order to receive the seed money. Find the form in the forms and guides section on this webpage.
How to enroll
Once you enroll in the Healthy Savings Plan and indicate you want an HSA, the university alerts the account administrator that you are ready to enroll. The account administrator will mail their HSA welcome packet directly to you. Note: If you enroll in an HSA during the university's Annual Enrollment period in the fall, it can sometimes take until January for you to receive your enrollment packet.
In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act, the account administrator is required to verify the identity of each HSA account holder. Please be aware that you must complete the Customer Identification Process (CIP) within 75 days of the account administrator first contacting you. If you do not complete your identification verification within 75 days, your HSA election will be terminated and you will not receive the university's contribution.
University contributions to your HSA
HSA contributions are limited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and pertain to both your contribution and the university's contribution. In 2016, the HSA contribution limit is $3,350 for an individual or $6,750 for a family. (2015 limits were $3,350 for an individual or $6,650 for a family.) If you are 55 years old or older, the IRS allows you to contribute an additional $1,000 under a catch-up provision.

|Oct 1 - Dec 31
|... meaning the IRS limit allows you to contribute an additional:
If you were previously enrolled in an FSA and will now be enrolled in an HSA, you will need to take special action. In order to make or receive HSA contributions at the beginning of a calendar year, your previously held general purpose Health Care FSA account must have a zero balance before the end of the previous calendar year. That means you'll need to submit claims for eligible healthcare expenses by December 24 for those claims to be processed before the end of the year.
View your HSA balance and activity
Your HSA administrator will send your Welcome Packet and debit card seperately. Your Welcome Packet will provide instructions for establishing your account for online access. You can view your HSA balance, check that your university contribution has been deposited, and see your transactions by creating an online HSA account with the adminstrator. To find your HSA administrator, visit the benefit plan administrators page.
Once you have been enrolled in the health savings account for 30 days, the university will deposit your seed money into your HSA within 7-14 days. Those who enroll during annual enrollment can expect to receive the funds in the third or fourth week of January. Any funds that you have elected to contribute through pre-tax payroll deduction will be deposited into your HSA within 5-7 days of payroll.
Change your contributions
You may change your pre-tax payroll contribution amount at any time during the year by completing and returning the HSA enrollment/change form. Find the form in the forms and guides section on this webpage.
Retaining ownership of your HSA
The minute money is deposited in your HSA, it is yours to keep forever. There are no requirements to use your HSA funds by the end of each year. (This is unlike a flexible spending account, in which funds must be depleted each year.) Furthermore, your HSA stays with you even if you separate from the university. And even if you are no longer eligible to contribute to your HSA, you can still use the funds that are in it. For example, individuals covered by Medicare may not contribute to an HSA, but they can use funds from an HSA that they had in years prior to enrolling in Medicare.
Receive your reimbursements
You can decide how to utilize your account funds. You may use your debit card to pay for eligible expenses, or authorize Optum Bank to pay for eligible expenses automatically when your claims are processed. You may also reimburse yourself from your HSA for any personal funds you spent on eligible expenses.
Your HSA funds may be used to pay for all IRS Section 213(d) expenses including:
- Medical
- Prescription drugs
- Dental
- Vision
While the university HSA contribution may be earned only by the primary subscriber to the Healthy Savings Plan, it can be used for any qualifying member of the subscriber's family.

No Bed for Bacon (Paperback)Caryl Brahms, S.J. Simon, Ned Sherrin
Paperback Published: 02/09/1999
- Not available
First published in 1941, No Bed for Bacon is a comic classic. Out of print since 1985, but much-discussed in the press following the release of the Oscar-showered film Shakespeare in Love, the novel fizzes with wit, warmth and the occasional custard pie. It is a festive celebration of 'The Great Bard' par excellence. Five o'clock and all's well in Merrie England. But not for long. Good Queen Bess is stirring in her four-poster and is feeling neither happy nor glorious. Down at the Globe, Will Shakespeare is chewing the end of his quill: something's amiss with Love's Labours Wunne. And Walter Raleigh, boiling his new potato in the depths of the regal kitchens, is getting very hot under the collar of his latest cloak - will his spud achieve the perfect fluffiness for The Royal Tasting? Heads are sure to roll before the day is out. No Bed for Bacon is a trivial pursuit through Elizabethan England - a book which will delight all scholars of Shakespeare, history and gleeful frivolity alike.

Waste district awarded $5,000 grant
MONTPELIER The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District received a recycling education grant of $5,000 to help implement an educational advertising campaign dedicated to recycling information.
The grant, from the Curbside Value Partnership, is part of a new program that provides resources to users of CVP Connect, a free online education training tool for recycling coordinators launched last year to help communities be more strategic and effective in the promotion of their residential recycling programs.
Recycling is mandatory in the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District and will be mandatory in all of Vermont by 2015, said district General Manager Leesa Stewart in a news release. The educational programming this grant will allow us to provide will enable the CVSWMD to increase valuable educational services and enable us to provide information to residents of the region around the importance of recycling and the new state requirement to recycle.
The district is one of 15 communities selected by the Curbside Value Partnership to receive assistance to execute upcoming recycling education plans.MORE IN This Just In

I adore Jane McClure, of McClure Mallory and Barron in San Francisco. She may already be full for this year's applicants, but she's been incredibly helpful for my child (a Gunn sophomore). However, she is not such a fan of those wanting to use admissions counseling just to get their kids into the Ivy League. She's more about helping your child find the best match for them based on a whole host of their preferences and needs, not on figuring how out to insert your kid into the best Name Brand School.

How to Not Go Broke Preparing for Wedding Season
I'm excited that spring is starting to show up in my neck of the woods. The days are getting longer, and the temperatures are getting warmer. But one thing I'm not quite ready for that is just around the corner is wedding season.
Weddings are an expensive affair, even if you aren't getting married or even taking part in a wedding party. Just being a guest at a few weddings can take a toll on your budget. Unfortunately I think this spring and summer I've got more weddings on my calendar to attend than I've had in all the other years of my life combined. Being a millennial means we're at the age when many of our friends are settling down and getting married.
If you are in this situation too, here are some ways you can prepare now for the upcoming wedding season so you don't go broke.
Look for a Versatile Outfit or Two
I only had one wedding on my calendar last year and it was very casual. Therefore for the upcoming weddings on my calendar this year I'm going to have to go shopping for more appropriate attire since they have a more "fancy" dress code expectation. That said, I don't want to go broke on buying a bunch of new dresses or skirt outfits that I'll only wear one time each. Instead I'm going to go budget and minimalist friendly by picking out one or two outfits that can be worn to all of the weddings on my calendar, plus any other events that would call for such attire.
I've been keeping my eyes open and the other day I found a dress that would be perfect for several of these events for only $40. Plus, I can pair it with a cardigan, purse, and shoe that are already in my closet. I'll probably also look for a skirt that I can pair with some of the spring and summer tops I already own too. This way I'll be able to avoid wearing the exact same thing to every wedding and event, but I won't have to buy too many new things.
Beware of Buying Expensive Gifts
I usually try to set a limit of what to spend on a gift for each wedding I attend. Most of the time I try to keep gifts within the same price range at each wedding I attend, unless I'm very close to the bride or groom. In those cases I will spend a little more on the gift.
One way to keep gifts costs under control is to organize the gift registry by price when you are looking at it online. If you organize it from lowest to most expensive, you can avoid even looking at the things that are outside of your price range. If you can't find anything suitable and in your price range on the gift registry, you can always purchase a gift card for the stores the couple has registered at instead. This will allow them to put that money toward whatever item(s) they choose.
If you know you have several weddings to attend this season, you should start saving up for the gifts and other costs right away. You can set up a targeted savings account and begin making monthly or weekly deposits to it so you have some money set aside and don't have to take it all out of your budget in the same month when it's time to attend the weddings and other events.
Lowering Travel Costs
Another significant expense of attending weddings for friends and family is the cost of travel. If the weddings you are planning to attend are not local, you may have to get creative with your travel and accommodations to save some money.
One way I've saved money on wedding accommodations is by finding another single person to share the room cost with. If you know some other friends who will be attending the same wedding, perhaps you can share a hotel room to cut down on cost. You may even be able to carpool if you have to drive a long distance to attend the wedding.
Another consideration is staying at a different hotel than the one with the block of rooms for guests. A block of rooms reserved for wedding guests will often be cheaper than regular room rates, but it may still be more expensive than other places in town.
Staying at an AirBnb near the wedding may also be an option. AirBnb is usually a lot cheaper than a hotel. Just make sure you can make it to your accommodations safely after the wedding reception if you've been drinking.
Attending the weddings of friends and family can be expensive, but it's important to share in these once-in-a-lifetime experiences with them. Even still, you don't want to go broke on the costs of attending. Luckily you can save money by starting preparations now for weddings coming up this spring and summer.
I've Been Cable Free for 4 Years and Here's How
4 Comments
In my country people usually give money as a gift. Weddings are seriously expensive and this way the young couple will recover financially after the 'ordeal' of spending thousands of bucks on a single day and maybe get a bit of a profit, which will help them in their married life.
We didn't do a 'normal' wedding though, since I really don't like the idea of being a princess and all the jazz, but many do go through this and earn a bit of money (well, not all, but most).
As for our costs as guests … I had 2 black dresses I wore to all our friends weddings (about 6 or 7 weddings in total) and a pair of high-heels. Husband has one suit only (we're not the elegant type) and had no issues wearing it at all occasions 😀
Whenever I attend weddings, I just use what I wear at the office. I just do some mix and match or buy a new tie. Investing on a good coat is really helpful as well as especially if it really fits well.
I have a wedding next weekend and I am wearing a dress I have in my closet instead of buying something new. It's not worth spending the money on a dress for a few hours when that money can go toward something more important like paying down law school debt!
I totally agree! If I had an appropriate dress in my closet that fit I wouldn't have bought anything either. 🙂
