Missed It By That Much
Those Jake Peavy talks will probably heat up again once the Ricketts take over the team or Rich Harden hits the disabled list, but just how close were they to completing the trade over the winter?
They were so close, in fact, that Peavy's side had begun the process of negotiating how much of his salary would be deferred. I's were being dotted, t's were being crossed.
Buster Olney makes it sounds like they were in the middle of the press conference before the red phone rang from Sam Zell to put a stop to the deal. I guess we may never know, but Padres general manager Kevin Towers certainly thought a deal was just about in place, so there's probably more truth than fiction to that story.
The other newsworthy item is that USA Today pegs the Cubs total payroll at $134,809,000. That's the third highest in baseball behind the Mets and Yankees and well ahead of the fourth place Boston Red Sox ($121,745,999).
NL Central Payroll
|$ 134,809,000
|$ 102,996,414
|$ 80,182,502
|$ 77,605,109
|$ 73,558,500
|$ 48,693,000
By USA Today's numbers, the Cubs increased their spending by $16.5 million from last season and are outspending their closest division rival by nearly $32M.

Well, it's not quite the Evil Empire, but I think it's safe to retire the Cubs don't spend enough clichés. And while you still have to make the right decisions with that money, the Cubs and Jim Hendry are working at a decided advantage...a $32 million advantage.
Re: Missed It By That Much
I forget; can you recap for us who was supposedly headed to SD in that deal?
I remember Marshall for sure, plus maybe Josh Vitters, but can't recall exactly. Need a refresher.
Re: spending
Over to the right of me as I post lies Arizona Phil's updated estimated payroll and there are some glaring discrepancies , e.g. USA Today has Ryan Dempster at $9MM and AzPhil has it at $12MM.
As for the so-called spending advantage, there's spending and then there's spending. Hendry just blows money out his ass. Backloaded contracts, guaranteed contracts for chumps who get cut before the season starts, long term contracts for total busts, etcetera, etcetera..... ad infinitum.
Re: spending
The difference is because of Dempster's $4 million signing bonus he got this year. USA Today only is showing his base salary which isn't showing the whole picture.
And don't forget Hendry giving out no-trade clauses to everyone except Jose Macias...:)
Re: spending
I always liked the one way player options. Those were neat!
Re: spending
Most likely he got the signing bonus last year, to dodge some of the expected tax hikes.
Re: spending
Very possibly true, but it would still likely count against this years budget/payroll.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Cubs have been a playoff team two years in a row and look like they're headed for a third so I'm going to lay off the management team. My new whipping boy is Corey Fukudome, the Cubs' bakayaro!
Re: Missed It By That Much
Hendry sucks, spending 30% more than everyone else in a weak sister division doesn't make him Billy Beane.
Blind squirrels find acorns. Ed Wade GM'd a team to the World Series for chrissakes.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Hendry doesn't suck, and saying it hundreds of times doesn't make it true.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Ed Wade GM'd a team to the World Series for chrissakes.
Ooh... please do tell. What team was that?
Unless, of course, you mean when Wade traded Lidge to the Phillies, giving the Phillies the closer they needed to win the World Series...
Re: Missed It By That Much
Excuse me, Dan O'Dowd
I got my shitty GM's confused.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Beat up on Hendry if you want, but I truly believe most GMs rely on their managers to tell them what they need. It's no coincidence Lou has had better tools to work with than Dusty had. I'm also convinced Fuku is perfectly capable of being an impact player. It's too soon to write him off.
Hendry isn't some GM genius, but he's no Littlefield, either.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Yeah, I am sure Dusty told Hendry, don't spend the extra $30MM and leave the payroll at around $100MM.
Re: Missed It By That Much
No no, you can't just post a snide comment and think you made your point. Tell me how you think the coversations went between Dusty and Hendry. Or do you suppose they just never talked? I'm really confused.
This is the manager who would routinely field Neifi Perez when better (albeit not much better) options were available.
Of course another $30 mil would help, but who cares. Dusty wasn't going to get it done.
Re: Missed It By That Much
I have absolutely no clue how the conversations between Dusty and Hendry went, nor do I know how they go between Hendry and Lou. I would think it would be a collaborative effort to decide what they need and who to get. But I do think they did talk, as I am sure most managers/GM's do, most likely daily.
Re: Missed It By That Much
All you need to know is that Dusty stole ABs from TheRiot and gave them to Neifi...anyone who steals from TheRiot in a dream better wake up and appologize.
Re: Missed It By That Much
I think replacing Derek Lee's bat with Neifi Perez's was a sign that Dusty is just too stupid to manage a cub with serious aspirations.

Re: Missed It By That Much
Count me in with the Hendry is decent, not great crowd. He's done a real nice job of getting the free agents that he wants. He's used his minor league talent to engineer a lot of trades that helped the big league team. And he's relied on his scouts to resurrect several players from the scrap heap and get useful play out of them (Dempster, Barrett and Edmonds come to mind).
His biggest dings are that he is not as fiscally sharp as he should be, the Cubs big wallet covers up some sloppy decision making at times. And he has the most maddening fetish for overpaying for fringe players, I don't know that I've ever seen anything like it. $5MM deals to Neifi, Blanco and Aaron Miles, huh? A million bucks and trading a warm body for Jose Macias? Weird.
Overall, I'd rate Hendry's tenure a solid B.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Good point Jim! And when his payroll was well below $100MM, the sloppiness really showed.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Does Lou make that much more money than Dusty did?
Re: Missed It By That Much
I think they make about the same.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Concur Jim
Re: Missed It By That Much
Does he suck as bad as Ed Lynch of Andy McFail? NO
Is he Billy Beane,Theo Epstein,Josh Byrnes or Walt Jocketty? NO
I suspect that even a total Dud like Dave Littlefield could have backed into a couple of 90 win seasons if Pirate management had let him outspend everyone else in the central by 30%
It's like beating a 10 year old kid in basketball, then claiming your NBA ready.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Jocketty was GM in St. Louis from 95-2007.
7 post season's
2 pennants
1 ws win
9 winning records in 12 years spending less than than the cubs almost every year.
Jim Hendry GM from 2002- now
1 90 win season
4 winning records in 7 years
You can't even compare the track records
Re: Missed It By That Much
Is he Billy Beane,Theo Epstein,Josh Byrnes or Walt Jocketty? NO
Is someone actually making this claim? What frustrates me about the Hendry hate is the presumption of Hendry love. Who is claiming him to be the best GM in baseball? I mean, did we all see the cock-up that was his 40-man roster management this year? That said, he's gotten more big things right than wrong.
I agree that B- is about right on JH.
Big wins on a few obvious big trades. Successfully re-signing players like Wood and ARam to home-town discounts. Scrapheap recovery for Dempster/Borowski. Getting his free agent targets once the purse strings were unleashed by McDonough
As mentioned, goofy roster management. Trading prospects and players at their lowest value. VERY frustrating reliance on marginally useful stats for evaluating hitters, like hitting with RISP. The Juan Pierre trade. Awful team OBP until Lou showed up.
Division champs for 2 years in a row and 3 of the last 6 is still pretty good. I will dance in the aisles when the Cubs take it all, but I've always maintained that I can be happy if this team is consistently and highly competitive. Jim Hendry has given me that. I give Lou a lot of credit too, but Jim's the boss. He deserves credit with his blame.
Re: Missed It By That Much
is it worth mentioning that beane is overrated vs. his results...especially when you look at them longer than just a few years past his projects being drafted or hitting the bigs?
last season's team was beyond an embarrassment full of 1-dimensional players...$300 million team or $30 team.
Re: Missed It By That Much
harden couldn't help the pile of crap they've had there the past 2 years. the bats last year were inexcusable.
this year is looking just as pathetic, imo.
he had a great run, but things are looking stagnant and the once strong pitching is looking trashy.
Re: Missed It By That Much
harden couldn't help the pile of crap they've had there the past 2 years. the bats last year were inexcusable.
What the hell are you are talking about? Sometimes you say some really strange shit.
Lets repeat what Rob said. When Harden was traded, they were 49-41.
That is the best smelling pile of crap that I have ever smelled.
Re: Missed It By That Much
maybe you should look at the pile of bats they called a team there...it was on par with the 06 cubs.
harden getting traded didn't cause the team to tank..the team caused it, itself.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Very simply question... how is a team that is 49-41 a pile of shit?
Oakland's offense was bad last year. There is no question. But that doesn't mean that Beane didn't still put together a team that could win.
And, btw, if you think this year's Oakland team's offense is similarly a "pile of shit," then I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you somewhere in Alaska.
Re: Missed It By That Much
You don't need a bridge up there. I heard the Gov. can see Russia from her house!
Re: Missed It By That Much
"Very simply question... how is a team that is 49-41 a pile of shit?"
1- because they play 162...they lost 12 games out of 1 pitcher and they go toilet?
Re: Missed It By That Much
I find it really funny that some of the same people who complained a couple years ago that Hendry never signed big name free agents and only kept people if he got a hometown discount are now complaining that he sucks because he spends too much money and/or spends it wastefully.
If you have a veteran team like the Cubs, and you've got a quality roster like the Cubs, you're going to have to spend money. The Cubs don't let people go or trade them near the end of their contract because they get too expensive, and the payroll numbers show it.
I think you can say that Hendry probably paid more than he needed to this past offseason for Dempster and Bradley, but that's only because he was agressive and went after the players he wanted before it was quite so clear that the market for player salaries had fallen off so dramatically.
Re: Missed It By That Much
In hindsight I think it was probably McFail who put the handcuffs on Hendry spending.
Why can't we have some sort of happy medium?
Sitting at a poker table with McFail and Hendry would be like sitting between a guy who folds each and every hand and a guy who pushes "all in" every hand.
That being said, we have a good team and I am really optimistic.
Re: Missed It By That Much
"In hindsight I think it was probably McFail who put the handcuffs on Hendry spending"
I have no proof of McFail handcuffing Hendry, but I believe he did also.
From the stories of Mark Grace annual resigning being seen as a free agent signing to McFail wetting his pants when he offered Mike Hampton the biggest contract in Cubs history I could see it being true.
Re: Missed It By That Much
Personally, I applaud Hendry for not sitting on his ass in the offseason. We won 97 games last year, so it would have been easy to just phone it in and say that we were good enough to win again this season, but he made some moves to try and make us better. Not every free agent signing and trade gets a gold star, but Hendry helped to perpetrate rapes on both the Pirates and Marlins to get Ramirez and DLee, and Soriano was far and away the best offensive free agent on the market when he was signed, and he is by no means a bust.
I know some of the moves made this past offseason were questionable, like trading DeRosa and signing Miles, but I've said it before and I'll say it again (and it was reiterated in this article) - my belief is that those moves were made (along with obtaining Garrett Olson) in anticipation that the Peavy deal was going to get done. Something obviously changed, and I'm guessing either Hendry changed his mind about not wanting to pay the ridiculous price Towers was asking, or Towers wanted to up the ante a bit more. I guess we'll never really know, but my point is that Hendry is always looking to try and make the team better. It doesn't always work out, but hindsight is 20/20 and I'll take back to back playoff appearances any day...

Other than Dallas Green he is the best Cubs GM of our/my lifetime. He isn't terrible. He's just a middle of the road GM with a top 5 payroll.

At least he isn't Larry Himes or Ed Lynch.
Re: Missed It By That Much
At least Himes got us Sosa.
Re: Lineups
Very pleased to see Fontenot in there against the lefty. If he can be marginally productive against LHP early in the season, we may not see much of Miles beyond a strictly utility IF role--a role for him that I can certainly live with.
250 PAs for Miles: OK. 400 PAs for Miles: not OK.

Over to the right of me as I post lies Arizona Phil's updated estimated payroll and there are some glaring discrepancies , e.g. USA Today has Ryan Dempster at $9MM and AzPhil has it at $12MM.
NAVIGATOR: This comes up every year.
USA Today prorates (averages) signing bonuses over the lenghth of a player's contract when determining players salaries & club payroll even if the signing bonus is paid in a lump sum when the player signs a contract (as is usually the case), while the numbers I provided on the right tab here at TCR are what the Cubs are actually paying out in payroll in 2009 (which commences with the end of the 2008 World Series), including lump sum signing bonuses, buy-outs, termination pay, and other pay-outs (like the Cubs paying a portion of Jason Marquis' salary), and also includes guaranteed salaries or minor league split salaries for players on the 40-man roster who are optioned to the minors.
Allowing clubs to calculate payroll by prorating signing bonuses is part of the CBA and it's done to reduce club payroll when determining revenue sharing & luxury tax.
Clubs consider post-season contract buy-outs, lump-sum signing bonuses for players signed after the conclusion of the World Series, termination pay for released players, and any agreement to pay a portion of a traded player's salary (as is the case with Jason Marquis), as a part of the next season's payroll, although that type of accounting is not reflected in the USA Today payroll numbers.
The only post-season payments that clubs consider to be a part of the previous year's payroll are performance bonuses that are earned by players who have incentives in their contracts.

i'm sure he'll be a bit hit. hope he doesn't choke. dude has a rifle for an arm. he'll add a bit of punch to the bullpen.
the 'crosstown classic' sure has lost it's magic with interleague. the excitement level is barely noticable...maybe it's a bit more hype in the city, itself.
Well he didn't leave a mark so its not that bad.
Fuck that.
He choked her.
Her brother tackled him to separate him.
He cooled off by shooting his gun in the garage.
I don't have to like him on the team I follow.
And you are others are free to not give a shit about his personal misgivings if you so choose as well.
Sure, no marks and some inconsistencies in the witness's statements. But firing your gun into garage wall immediately after an argument and punching out your car window is still threatening and out of control behavior. There was certainly enough for MLB to think it warranted a 30-game suspension.
I'd prefer they be flexible with the closing situation depending on matchups. You're not really adding a lefty reliever if you use him strictly as a closer.
Stockpiling young talent isn't only for trading for someone like Chapman though. Even with an elite closer winning the World Series is basically a crap shoot so the key is to get to the playoffs as much as possible and not just mortgage everything on one year. Once you get there an elite bullpen certainly helps but the playoffs can be won by one hitter or starting pitcher getting hot (Murphy, Molina, Baumgardner) and a closer might not be able to stop that.
I'm also not crazy about press convictions. As the police report noted, there were no marks on the lady in question. There's a TMZ link (of course) to her police pictures, as well.
I think the only way this trade goes real bad is if Cubbery intervenes and Chapman is suddenly bad for some reason.
I am right there with you closing in on 60.
I don't care that much about "mortgaging" one player who is not only blocked by two guys, but is not ready to hit the majors for at least a couple years.
There is no reason why this team, this year, can't have a real shot at something NONE of us have experienced.
Further, I don't feel that even if they fall short that they have ruined their farm system.
I have made my opinion clear here, with others, Warren was shit on the Cubs save one spot start.
Trading for Warren, Warren sucking, getting Warren back for Chapman plus 3 prospects, sounds like Revenge of The Yankees on the former Boston executive. Old rivalries never die.
I pray to the heavens above Chapman doesn't suck for some reason, or he'll be booed out of town faster than a Todd Hundley revival meeting.
I'm kind of nostalgic for the Schwarber-for-Miller rumors.
This offseason, after some ridiculous playoff run and Chapman saving every game from here until the end of the postseason striking out 27/9innings, I welcome anyone to quote this thread and call me a dummy: I hate this trade, and my hate is 2 parts Chapman makes this team less likeable and 1 part that's a ridiculous overpay for 30 regular season innings and, at tops, 10 postseason innings. Already hoping they don't extend him.
btw...Thanks AZ Phil. I'm really enjoying your take on this trade.
I'm a bit disappointed on the Warren experience. Essentially they gave Castro away for crickets (OK, well they signed Zobrist with the Castro salary dump). Otherwise one might look at it as Chapman for Castro and our #1 minors prospect (Torres) + McKinney/Crawford. Seems pricey for a 2 month rental. We will see if this price tag is that steep in a relative way based on the remaining deadline deals for relievers.
Yep. One of the great things about this team (in addition to being really good at baseball) was the "likable" factor. Feels a bit different now. Who knows...maybe Chapman will be the king of the dance parties.

Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) may be a strong predictor of hip and knee joint replacement due to severe osteoarthritis (OA), according to a group of researchers. They also note that inclusion of VCAM-1 levels in risk prediction models resulted in a more accurate classification of individuals.
The details will be published in the August issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism but appear online in a paper titled, "Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 as a predictor of severe osteoarthritis of the hip and knee joints." The study involved 912 healthy individuals in Bruneck, Italy, 60 of whom underwent hip or knee replacement surgery due to severe OA in a 15-year follow-up period. Subjects had a baseline exam in 1990 and follow-up tests were performed every five years until 2005. Blood samples were analyzed for VCAM-1, a sialoglycoprotein expressed on cells in the cartilage and connective tissue.
Results showed that VCAM-1 levels were substantially elevated in the 60 individuals who underwent joint replacement. The highest baseline levels were seen in those who had bilateral joint replacement. "The level of VCAM-1 emerged as a significant predictor of the risk of joint replacement due to severe OA, equaling or even surpassing the effects of age," the scientists state. VCAM-1 promotes leukocyte adhesion and homing to sites of inflammation. In chondrocytes, VCAM-1 expression is induced by inflammatory cytokines. This is why increased VCAM-1 levels may emulate active cartilage damage or an inflammatory component in OA, the investigators suggest. In addition, since it mediates the interaction of chondrocytes with immune cells, VCAM-1 may contribute to immune-mediated cartilage damage.

The Settlersby Vilhelm Moberg
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Considered one of Sweden's greatest 20th-century writers, Vilhelm Moberg created Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson to portray the joys and tragedies of daily life for early Swedish pioneers in America. His consistently faithful depiction of these humble people's lives is a major strength of the Emigrant Novels. Moberg's extensive research in the papers of Swedish emigrants in archival collections, including the Minnesota Historical Society, enabled him to incorporate many details of pioneer life. First published between 1949 and 1959 in Swedish, these four books were considered a single work by Moberg, who intended that they be read as documentary novels. These new editions contain introductions written by Roger McKnight, Gustavus Adolphus College, and restore Moberg's bibliography not included in earlier English editions. Book 3 focuses on Karl Oskar and Kristina as they adapt to their new homeland and struggle to survive on their new farm. "It's important to have Moberg's Emigrant Novels available for another generation of readers."—Bruce Karstadt, American Swedish Institute

In fact, I hated to finish the last book, as it signaled the end of my relationship with the characters. Having ancestors that made the emmigration from Scandinavia to the USA made this book even more compelling. I normally do not read books more than once, but these were page turners that I would return to someday. LOVED LOVED LOVED

South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB) has chosen a UTAH-400 series SD/HD routing switcher along with an SC-4 routing control system and MC-2020 master control switcher as part of a master control room upgrade to HD at its statewide broadcast facility in Vermillion, SD.
The station wanted a compact 1RU panel to provide full X-Y control because rack space was at a premium. Besides the UCP-1 panel and the UTAH-400 router (V-144 frame loaded 88 x 88 SDI and 16 x 16 HD), SDPB purchased Utah's MC-2020 master control switcher with two SD and HD processor channels and an SC-4 control system.
The control system will interface with a Quest Research & Development Q-Alert system, which automatically generates storm alerts. Q-Alert interfaces with a variety of graphics platforms including Utah Scientific's GPI-controlled MC-2020 master control switcher.

Skip to comments.WHY REPUBLICANS SHOULD SAY HELL NO TO THIS LAWLESS PRESIDENT
Posted on 06/26/2012 3:14:30 PM PDT by kingattax
Theres been much speculation about whether the Obama administration has a Plan B ready in case the Supreme Court strikes down all or some of Obamacare. But its clear that the White House was ready today when the Court rejected its challenge to the constitutionality of an Arizona law requiring local law enforcement officers, during routine stops, to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.
The White House promptly reacted to the decision, which also struck down three important provisions through which Arizona attempted to counteract the federal governments unwillingness to do anything much about the flood of illegal aliens into the State. First, and predictably, Obama renewed his call for comprehensive immigration reform. Sen. Harry Reid quickly echoed the White House, tweeting that [Republicans] must join [Democrats] to forge fair, tough, practical solutions.
Next, the administration announced measures designed to undermine the portion of the Arizona law that was upheld, unanimously, by the Supreme Court. The Department of Homeland Security said it would exclude Arizona from a program known as 287(g), which allows the feds to deputize local officials to make immigration-based arrests. A Homeland Security official explained that the administration finds such agreements not useful in states that have Arizona-style laws. I guess the program is useful only in states that arent taking meaningful measures to identify illegal aliens.
Accordingly, local police in Arizona will have to rely on federal officials to arrest illegal aliens. But federal officials have made it clear that the feds will not respond to calls from Arizona law enforcement unless the person detained meets certain criteria, such as being wanted for a felony. Being an illegal alien is not enough. As Obama showed with his unilateral mini-DREAM act, this administration is no longer interested in enforcing the immigration laws except perhaps against illegal aliens who are shown to have engaged in felonious conduct.
In addition, the Justice Department set up a hotline through which people can complain about having their immigration status checked by Arizona law enforcement officials. Obama thus hopes to drum up complaints against Arizona law enforcement agents. He wants to make the federal government a party to the harassment of those trying to do what Obama wont enforce the law. Obama hopes to intimidate them into not using their authority to address the severe problem of illegal immigration authority granted by the state legislature and upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court.
Given all of this, its quite clear that the Republicans should say hell no to Obamas call for comprehensive immigration reform. Republicans must not permit themselves to be coerced into writing a new immigration law by Obamas refusal to enforce the law we have.
Moreover, what is the point of legislating with a lawless administration? Legislation on an issue like immigration requires compromise, and thats fine I have no objection in principle to compromising. But suppose a compromise is reached. This president has demonstrated that his response would likely be to ignore the provisions the Republicans insisted upon because ignoring them is the right thing to do. Immigration reform, if it is to occur, must await the election of a president who, unlike Obama, is willing to enforce the law as written, not just the portions of the law he finds palatable. Indeed, Im tempted to say that the passage of compromise legislation on any important issue should await the election of such a president
That would be great...but, unfortunately, the GOPe has no spine.
The GOPe will never say "Hell No!"
But they WILL say, "Please, massuh, don' call me racis'".
The answer was loud and clear under Bush. If you won't secure the borders, then don't push some amnesty on us and call it comprehensive immigration reform.
Since these were obviously measures the Obama regime had decided upon in advance, we need to consider what their response will be if the Supreme Court strikes down all or part of Obamacare.
There is no doubt in my formerly military mind that Obama has already worked out ways to replace, by executive fiat if necessary, every one of the provisions that might be nullified by the Supreme Court decisions.
These people are not even pretending to respect the Constitution or Separation of Powers anymore. America is more than three quarters of the way to totalitarianism.
Yup. This would all end quickly if Bohner simply shut down congress until Obama regained compliance with the constitution.
But not a single congressman has the guts to even suggest it.
0b0z0 is NOT A US CITIZEN.
That is the mother of all the BIG ones. It was the first push of the envelope (his eligibiity).
And how, exactly, are Republicans to rein in this out-of-control paranoid maniacal sociopath? Sweet reason surely has no charms for him, nor is threat of any kind of restraint particularly effective.
Democrats, listen to James Carville, and step up, if you dare, to tell him that not just a line, but several of them, have been crossed, and there is precious little time to retreat from a place where he has burned far too many bridges already.
I wonder if some afternoons he just sits in the Oval Cubicle, grumbling to himself, "I HATE this effing job!"
Clearly, he is in WAY over his depth already, and just discovered the sharks are circling.
That means that our activism not loud enough OR the liberals are louder than we are.
My prediction: Romney will "try to find common ground", McCain will "reach across the aisle", Boehner will go into one of his crying jags then adjourn.
Rinse and repeat.
(I mean why would they change their MO now? It's worked so well in the past )
Yes I really believe that.
I know We used to be the spine of the politicians and we could hold them accountable. But, sadly tso, I'm just not sure we are/can, anymore.
I make calls and attend town halls, etc., etc. I even have a "conservative" rep. It seems like there's not a dime's worth of difference between most of 'em, now.
We have undergone a coup while America wallows in ignorance (what else would you call it?) and the Constitution is reduced to a meaningless relic, like the House of Windsor.
Yes I really believe that.
I agree.
Anyone not terrified of another 0bama term is not sane.
Sometimes when listening to Rush we assume that our reps are listening to him too. We must always assume they only watch MSNBC because they probably do.
They need to hear from us, our friends and relatives (the conservative ones preferably)
There are many things they are doing or NOT doing that commits them to the oath they took. They have NO excuse for that. The law is the law. I suppose we can always let them know that we know what the oath is and they had better keep it.
I think it means that they were/are willfully deaf, more concerned with becoming Democrats at minimum and want the country wrecked as much as the dems do. I am willing to weigh all evidence to the contrary...should any exist.
Both parties are Socialist tyrants. The game is rigged.
At what point does a President's deliberate refusal to uphold and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States qualify as an impeachable offense? If the reaction to the AZ decision isn't it, what the hell is? It's not just steps taken to compensate for the outcome of the case, but a deliberate attempt to subvert the effect of the decision by saying "We don't care that the Court deemed AZ's efforts to inquire about immigration status constitutional and we're going to actively undermine their constitutional efforts to keep their citizens safe and employed." Is there no one in the Republican Congressional caucus to take up the gauntlet and bring Articles of Impeachment for this latest and most extreme outrage against We the People?
obama's not doing this by himself. If he issues an order lots of people down the line have to follow it. For instance, he tells his cabinet hag not to work with AZ cops. She passes it down to her underling who sends it on down to others and finally to all the agents. Then every ICE agent in AZ is being forced to disobey the law.
Plus, the governor of AZ and all the cops in AZ are going along with it.
The republicans cry a little and that's that.
No wonder this guy believes himself to be a dictator. He IS a dictator.
Yes, and then there is that other party, the Enablercans, who made it a cake walk, because of their cowards in leadership. They feign rejection of this or that, using it for a weak springboard to campaign on.
But, they have a real tiger up as our nominee, to lead them—made of paper.
Anyone not terrified of another Obama term is not sane.
I am terrified of an Obama second term. I am also terrified of a Romney first term.
Now what do I do?
See tag line.
There are traitors by action.
Then there are traitors by inaction.
Unfortunately our "representative government" is chockful of both. And I quite honestly see no way around them.
Well, vote for one.
There are still large section of the US that are NOT. Texas is one of them. Lot of open space and lots of freedom, but we do enforce our laws.
Au contraire. Shutting down congress would suit obama just fine. He has darn near shut them down already.
Defund ICE, Homeland security, the Border Patrol and the Justice Dept. If they won't do their job, why should we pay them?

Windfall keeps state budget on even keel
Published: Monday, June 2, 2003 at 1:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 1, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- Members of the Terrebonne-Lafourche House delegation voted in unison Sunday evening to adopt the latest version of the state's $16.9 million spending plan.
Local lawmakers joined their colleagues in a push to send House Bill 1 to the Senate by a 100-3 vote.
The newly revised budget doesn't include the drastic health-care cuts and spending decreases once predicted, thanks in part to a last-minute windfall of $264 million in federal money.
"The Easter bunny this time hopped in with one leg and real late, but it showed up," said Rep. Jerry Luke LeBlanc, chairman of the budget-drafting House Appropriations Committee.
LeBlanc presented the 273-page budget bill to the House, noting that the document reverses the proposed shuttering of developmental centers and mental hospitals around the state, including the Peltier-Lawless center in Thibodaux.
"Nearly all of those entities that had a problem are just about whole and do not face a fiscal crisis as the bill stands before you," LeBlanc told lawmakers.
While the developmental centers made it through the first phase unharmed, it didn't stop Rep. Warren Triche, D-Chackbay, from inserting an amendment that calculates the number of staffed beds for the Belle Chasse and Thibodaux mental-health sites.
Without these notations, Triche said, the commissioner of administration could still make cuts to the developmental centers.
"I'm concerned, since we have no numbers there, that the commissioner of administration or his designee or his office will provide the final number," Triche said. "My amendment says basically that we will not go below what we did last year, not leaving it up to the division of administration to decide on this."
Triche's amendment drew no opposition from lawmakers.
'Slush funds' and condoms
An attempt to eliminate the legislative grant funds, commonly criticized as "slush funds," was defeated handily by a 27-74 House vote.
Here's how Houma-Thibodaux representatives voted. A "for" vote represents one in favor of favor of abolishing the funds.
For: Damon Baldone, D-Houma; Hunt Downer, R-Houma; Loulan Pitre, R-Cut Off; and Triche.
Against: Carla Dartez, D-Morgan City and Ernest Wooten, D-Belle Chasse.
House lawmakers did agree to strip $720,000 from a condom-distribution program and redirect it to a new program that would inform elderly residents about prescription medication discounts offered by drug companies and other programs.
Rep. Lydia Jackson, D-Shreveport, said removing those dollars also would eliminate $2.5 million in federal funds as part of an HIV/AIDS prevention program, but the amendment passed anyway by a 69-29 vote.
Here's how Houma-Thibodaux representatives voted. A for vote "favors" rerouting the condom money.
For: Baldone, Downer, Pitre and Triche.
Against: Dartez and Wooten.
Health and education
While most agencies would avoid budget pain, the charity hospital system would face a nearly $98 million reduction that the hospitals agreed to. They hope to partially fill in the loss with a separate measure moving through the Legislature that would let the hospitals charge some patients for services.
Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center, the state hospital in Houma, is fairing better than in previous years as far as state funding goes.
The center's secured funding line as indicated in the budget is up from $113,501 for the current fiscal year to $294,000 for the next cycle.
The state's colleges and universities would also get new dollars next year, as would public elementary and secondary schools.
Nicholls State University, for one, is scheduled for a few major increases. Monies from the general fund are listed as $23 million, up $1.7 million from this year's appropriation. The overall financing to the university also carries an increase of $1.8 million, bring the total to $42.2 million.
The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium in Cocodrie, which focuses on marine and coastal studies, could see its budget boosted by $300,000 next year to $9.5 million.
The state spent $16.5 billion in the fiscal year that ends June 30. LeBlanc said the coming year's budget would increase by about $62 million. The budget includes the elimination of nearly 500 state jobs.

Low-Crest-Factor Multitone Test Signals for Audio Testing
Many frequency domain audio tests, such as measuring the frequency response, measuring frequency-dependent crosstalk, or making some kind of distortion measurements, can be performed by applying multitone test signals to the audio device under test and analyzing the output signal by means of the discrete Fourier transform. In contrast to standardized single-tone or dual-tone excitation tests, the multitone test offers significant time savings and enables realistic test conditions by approximating the frequency domain characteristics of a typical program material. But multitone testing requires the design of low-crest-factor test signals. Several computation schemes and indirect optimization methods of low-crest-factor phases, are discussed, and for the first time optimum multitone signals designed by general-purpose nonlinear optimization software are presented.

A new screening strategy for ovarian cancer appears to be highly specific for detecting the disease before it becomes lethal. The strategy is described in a study published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. If verified in an ongoing clinical trial, it could potentially help save the lives of thousands of women each year in the United States alone.

Maternity care that involves a midwife as the main care provider leads to better outcomes for most women, according to a systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. Researchers found that women who received continued care throughout pregnancy and birth from a small group of midwives were less likely to give birth pre-term and required fewer interventions during labour and birth than when their care was shared between different obstetricians, GPs and midwives.

Connect any celebrity with Mia Wasikowska to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
before she went blonde, she could've been the twin of supermodel & film maker, Victoria Keon-Cohen...especially in the film, 'Stoker'
This gal has the fortune to combine acting talent with ethereal beauty, hence all the gushing praise below.She'll go far.
Mia is the most amazing actress EVER and the most beautiful cousin
I really don`t know Mia until i saw her on Alice movie.She is really perfect and the prettiest girl i ever seen. I fell in love with her for the first sight. *sigh* I really want to meet her face to face. i know it`s impossible.. so, i just pray for her so that she`ll success in her life and always be fine. I`ll support you Mia.
Mia Wasikowska was the PERFECT actress to play Alice. the movie was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! i honestly think that its way better than Disneys cartoon version(no offence there disney). Tim Burton is a really imaginative and inspiring director and Johnny Depp is my favorite actor. Mia Wasikowska i honestly never knew until the movie came out but i think that shes awesome at acting and she has real potential. :)
i love you
Hi, Mia. You are sooo cool.
i love mia wasikowska i love you
She was perfect for Alice in Tim Burton`s version of Alice in Wonderland ! It`s always good to see a new face in movie that you can find yourself starting at for a long time. And she`s very beautiful.
I fell in love with this girl ever since I saw the Alice trailer :)

We stayed here 1 night to attend a concert down the street. Can't reserve till 14 days prior, we did, but they didn't have any record of it. Can't check in till 5pm, Must leave by 11am. They put us in the parking lot backed up to the trees. Had to move a bunch of cars in the lot to get us in. Cable tv had 3 channels. WiFi was free for an hour, then $6.00 a day! Restrooms need a lot of TLC before my wife would use it. Would only stay here again to attend another concert. - Tredguy

This is not a real RV park, it is a day use park for picnics. The road in is narrow and twisty, the sites are VERY short and not level. The bathrooms are not cleaned daily and old. Avoid this if your in anything longer then 10'. They don't tell you this when you talk to them. We stayed in a 38' motor home, never again. You have to wait till the day use parking lot clears out before you can get in or out of your site. Severe steep driveway. - wrready2

Pleasant location. However the site was not flat, which made for awkward sleeping. This was surprising as it is tarmac all the way through. Restrooms and showers needed a LOT of work (holes in the walls, cramped and dirty). Wifi was available for $6. This site has a lot of potential as it is beautifully situated in the woods and right by a stream, and has all facilities available. However the problems mentioned above mean I can only give it a 6 out of 10. - wicksee

We came to this county RV park as many other RV parks in the Bay Area closed down. The RV sites are difficult to level and only for smaller units. We have a 27 ft class C so it was OK lengthwise but had a hard time to level. The county park closes its gate at sunset but we were given access code to get in at night. Unfortunately the code we were provided were wrong as they did twice. We were stuck at one night for more than half an hour. The camp host never answered calls or knocks on the door of his/her motor home. Other campers told us they never saw the camp host anyway. The ranger station was not attended so you do everything online. We will never stay here if there is another alternative in the Bay Area. The high housing cost has driven most of the RV park out unfortunately. This county park has no incentive to improve its service. - hotpepper
Apr 2013 - $30.00
This is a Santa Clara County campground in a park. They have 15 RV sites for smaller rigs. The official policy is no RVs over 31 feet, but we have seen much longer RV's. There is water and 30 amps at the site and a dump station. Larger RV's (and perhaps smaller as well) will have an issue with the road into the park. The last two miles on Sanborn Road is very narrow with some overhanding limbs and a one-lane bridge. It is also very steep coming up the hill into the park. The dump station is very, very tight. The sites are all back-in and fairly short and not very level. This is a campground that I would recommend for smaller RV's with a sense of adventure. Once you get past that, it is a wonderful, quiet campground with great access to the Bay Area. You can make reservations but we have never, ever seen it full. If you do not make reservations, you have to pay day-by-day; a bit of a pain but it works. The gates close at sundown so it feels secure. If you talk to the right person, you can get the gate code to come in after dark. The park is a bit strange in that it gets some folks camping because they have no other housing, but it has never been a problem for us. Our Verizon phone and data card did not work in the park because of the terrain. There are some sites where you can pick up satellite. - TheJim

This park is pretty with only a couple of trailers left, full of motorhomes and fifth wheels. They have very specific parking rules which required us to park our dually next to a bush, that scratched it. Nice but cramped laundry.30 amp electricity kept going off and on. No breaker to turn off electric so must hot connect. Sewer is not a proper fit so it leaks. No recycling available. Very expensive, not near groceries or shopping. In industrial area of town surrounded by poor neighborhoods. WiFi virtually non-existent, no cable and no antenna stations available. Sites and streets are paved with many many very high speed bumps. No discounts. - DRV

This RV park in silicon valley is clean! This park appears to have its own cc&r's and is better for it. Pool and gazebo surrounded by green grass. Postal service is evidenced by a row of mailboxes at main office. There is an electric lawn mower to borrow to keep up your very own 10'x 5' strip of green space should you reside here for over 2 weeks. It offers spaces to one-night travelers too. This is a nice, clean, groomed trailer park where you want to live while earning a living here in San Jose. I didn't want to leave. It is nice for city camping in your travel trailer & I would go back. It is just a few miles from World Famous Henry's High Life restaurant and HP Concert Pavilion - CasaRoll

Located in an industrial area with good access to the freeway. Park is very clean and well kept and has many long term/permanent residents. Dogs are limited to 20 lbs. The downside is that they do not take credit cards, cannot arrive after dark and must have a reservation. This park is not a resort, but a convenient place to stay for those visiting friends/relatives in the San Jose area. - nkwazi

Would never stay here again. Got the last site in what seems to be mostly fulltime campers. Odd set up and needed extension and level blocks. Didn't feel safe because of unsavory characters and the neighborhood wasn't the nicest. Showers cost. Not good value for money at all. Manager was abrupt and rude. No amenities for the high charge. Don't bother coming here unless you're desperate. - kiwitravelers

This park would rate much higher if it weren't for the noise at night. Starting about 3 AM the recycle trucks arrived and dumped their loads. Now, if you sleep like my wife, or wear a hearing aid, I can highly recommend the park. Showers were older, but spotless, including shower curtains. The rest of the bathroom was extremely clean. The manager was kind and made sure we had good instructions when calling in for reservations. Unlike a previous poster, we did not experience a smelly environment from the recycle center. - JDRobar

Nothing new on the comments below except to say the management was competent, friendly and proud of the park. This is an urban camp that has a lot of back up alarms during the day. But just the urban noise at night. If you are going to be in the bay area this is the most reasonable place I found. The internet signal is very weak and drops off a lot. Wi-Fi card will work OK here. Water pressure is low. The camp is kept spotless and does not allow units in that are older than 10 years unless they are in good shape.(?) Clean bathrooms and laundry. No frills top end park - pumper9x9

This park is located within a residential setting. Very low tree clearance at the entrance and had to go in the exit for additional clearance. Everything is tight in this park. We were instructed to keep the entire RV including slides within the white lines...which was impossible. We were told that the fire marshall would ask us to move our RV if we didn't stay in the lines. No one was within the lines. Hard to navigate our 32' fifth wheel into our site but just fit. Not enough room for our truck and hung over into the street, which makes it challenging for others to navigate. Lots of permanent folks with lots of kids loose in the park. We were ok but just watch when driving around. Pool, spa, laundry and bathrooms were in good shape and in working order. Good location for exploring Santa Cruz, Pacifica to Carmel but very expensive! Might stay here again if we didn't have other options. - JeffDeb
May 2016 - $50.00
This park is almost entirely full-time residents, but there is a small section of pull-through sites for "transients". These were very narrow and barely long enough for our 34-foot 5th wheel with the truck parked sideways in the road. The park is very convenient to the town of Scotts Valley and a 15-minute ride to downtown Santa Cruz. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and the cute town of Felton are 10 minutes away.
As a base camp for exploring the area, this is pretty good, though we prefer the state park campgrounds down on the beach, which are quite nice, or the yacht harbor RV park. The pool is nice, though it can get crowded on weekends since lots of kids live here. Even with the Thousand Trails discount, this place is quite expensive, but typical for the greater Bay Area. - MrSunshine

Not our kind of place. Cramped spaces, neighbors entry faced ours so thru us together so absolutely no privacy. Lots of kids so it was noisy as we were right by the pool. No place to walk outside park. Staff was extremely helpful and went the extra mile for us. Internet was not good. Sites were holy, not level. - LottaTidbits

Just got home from staying there 6 nights. Had a site with a nice view of river below so it cost more but really enjoyed it. The location in redwoods is great and your close to the community of Felton. Most of the sites appear pretty close and a few hard to get into,but part of this is because of all the trees. Sites are not level so if in a travel trailer bring the leveling blocks. Found the TV reception and internet very good. The only issue I had was the number of people out with dogs, by RV or walking them not on a leash. They all seemed well behaved but it did bother us some. Really enjoyed the area and this park. Will definitely go back. - allens

Beautiful setting in giant redwoods, about 15 minutes from Santa Cruz. As they say on their website, DO NOT drive up Hwy 9 especially from Santa Cruz, use Hwy 17 to Scotts Valley, then over to Felton and 1 mile south to park. Staff very friendly and helpful. Sites are very close together but doable in our 35 foot rig, many are not level. Big signs that 9:30 pm is quiet time and they enforce it! Some Verizon reception but no T-Mobile. Have free WiFi, but often cuts out. Fire rings are available for extra rent. We would stay again. - BandD

They squeeze you in like sardines, if your lucky you can open your slides and awning. Employees were nice. Very dry. you can see the river at some points and you can also walk down to it not easy though. We won't go back due to the closeness. - onemohawk

I cannot believe that Good Sam visited this place. We were here in April: used the showers, which were old, with peeling old paint and cold water. They did not turn on the hot water, etc. The RV spaces were horrible, not level, not clean, very dirty, had left over food on the ground, dog feces all over the place. Office people were not friendly at all.
I have told numerous people about this place.
I hope maybe someday Good Sam will visit it, as a camper, and not with a big sign saying you are inspectors. - Nanaof6

Have stayed here during the summer as well as in the winter. VERY crowded in the summer, with RV's stacked in like a busy parking lot. Winter just the opposite, maybe 10 RV's in the entire place. Nice pool, hiking trails and easy drive to the beach so good for kids. - Tom Sch

We stayed in space 23 where the spaces are very close together. I would not recommend spaces 14-28. No at&t service, no wi-fi at our campsite. We have stayed before in space 38 which is much nicer. I would choose 30-43 if you have a choice. Our son and his family stayed in cabin 29 which was very nice. They had wi-fi at the cabin. Campground is kept very clean. They will deliver firewood. Nice little playground for kids. Lots of people in pool. We would stay again if we got the site we wanted. - NaniJ

We had a great stay at Smithwood. When booking the reservation I was truly concerned since several reviews stated problems checking in even with a reservation The ladies that answer the phone, and those checking you in, are view scattered. However once they saw the size of our RV they decided to show us two options. They continued to say they just want to make sure we are happy with the spot. The park was clean, lots of families and RV groups. Beautiful trails to hike and the railroad is a short distance away. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. The park does have a lot of full timers but everyone was very nice. The only issue is the price they are rather pricey for what you get. - newtofifthwheeling

The bus driver will get his 9th loss, SMH. Khan's gonna be too big, his reach, speed will be too much. Soto is an okay fighter at best but i've never seen him beat other good top fighters. Every time he steps up and gets a chance to get a real big win, he loses. Sure he beat the Antillon's, Juarez's, old Jesus Chavez and past his best David Diaz, but those are not eye-opening opponents either.

Not a very good fight. Moving Soto up to JWW just makes him target practice for Khan, who is probably going to fight relatively safety first. Cotto-Trout will make up for it.

soto and mathysse was a give and take fight until thost last few punches landed. soto is a very good offensive fighter.
that said, he's been in a lot of wars, and he's coming off of his own stoppage loss. he took a beating over the course of that fight.
not a horrible fight for an undercard on showtime.
both are warriors. if soto can handle the speed and the size he might make a nice fight of it. khan's chin is khan's chin.

Russia's Stavropol May Have Lost 3 Million Tons of Grains
Russia's Stavropol region may have lost 2.5 million to 3 million metric tons of grain crops due to frost and drought, the local farm ministry said.
The loss is estimated at 17.4 billion rubles ($530 million), the ministry said on its website, citing Anatoly Kutsenko, first deputy agriculture minister. Stavropol's harvest area this year will decline 111,000 hectares (about 274,300 acres) from a year earlier, Kutsenko said in the statement without giving last year's reaping area figure.
Stavropol had Russia's second-biggest regional grain crop last year after gathering 8.2 million tons of cereals, or 8.7 percent of the national harvest, according to state statistics.
Rain is forecast in Stavropol tomorrow and hail on June 16 and June 17, according to Russia's Federal Hydrometeorological Center.

For International Day of Zero Tolerance of FGM/C today, the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme for the Acceleration of the Abandonment of FGM/C released a new report, Key Results and Highlights 2011, which indicates that approximately 2,000 African communities have abandoned female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C).
UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, stated, "These encouraging findings show that social norms and cultural practices are changing, and communities are uniting to protect the rights of girls and women. We call on the global community to join us in this critical effort. Together, we can end FGM/C in one generation and help millions of girls and women to live healthier, fuller lives, and reach their potential."
In 2011, the UNFPA reports that 18,000 community education sessions were held to discourage FGM/C. As a result, almost 2,000 communities renounced FGM/C practices that year alone in Burkina Faso, Dijbouti, Ethiopia, Gambia, Senegal, Kenya, and Somalia.
Internationally, an estimated 100 million to 140 million women and girls have undergone an FGM procedure, with the practice widely being regarded as a human rights violation. The procedure, which involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia, is designed to decrease women's sexual desire and is seen in many cultures as essential for a women's suitability for marriage. The practice is also known to both increase the risk of HIV transmission and infant and maternal mortality rates.

Going down to the cafeteria in the morning and watching someone toast an English Muffin.
Do you want to go muffining at 10:00, or should we wait?
