Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
According to the Mayan calendar, the Cubs will win the World Series in 2012, causing an apocalypse about six weeks later.
So since it's getting late, here's a look ahead at what the Cubs roster might look like in about six months, and what the player payroll obligations will be going into the historic 2012 season.
This does not address potential free-agents the Cubs might pursue or players the Cubs might target in a trade, although it should give you some idea of how much the Cubs might have available to spend for free-agents.
NOTE: "OUT OF MINOR LEAGUE OPTIONS IN 2012" applies only to players who will have less than five years of MLB Service Time accrued through the 2011 season, because players with five or more years of MLB Service Time can refuse an assignment to the minors even if they have minor league options left.
39 players (one slot will probably be left open)
* bats or throws left
# bats both
* JEFF BELIVEAU (will likely be added to 40-man roster by 11/20 deadline)
Alberto Cabrera
Chris Carpenter
Andrew Cashner
Casey Coleman

* John Gaub
ANGEL GUZMAN (will likely be added to 40-man roster in September)
JAY JACKSON (will likely be added to 40-man roster by 11/20 deadline)
* Scott Maine
Carlos Marmol
* Sean Marshall
Marcos Mateo
* James Russell
Jeff Samardzija

Carlos Zambrano
OUT OF MINOR LEAGUE OPTIONS IN 2012: Guzman, Mateo, and Samardzija
ARBITRATION ELIGIBLE POST-2011: Garza, Guzman, and Wells
Welington Castillo
* STEVE CLEVENGER (will likely be added to 40-man roster by 11/20 deadline)
# Koyie Hill
Geovany Soto
OUT OF MINOR LEAGUE OPTIONS IN 2012: Soto
ARBITRATION ELIGIBLE POST-2011: Hill and Soto

D. J. LeMahieu
JOSH VITTERS (will likely be added to 40-man roster by 11/20 deadline)
OUT OF MINOR LEAGUE OPTIONS IN 2012: Lahair (only matters if he is on 40-man roster, otherwise he is a minor league FA)
ARBITRATION ELIGIBLE POST-2011: Baker and DeWitt
Marlon Byrd
* Tony Campana
* Tyler Colvin
Luis Montanez
Alfonso Soriano
MATT SZCZUR (will likely be added to 40-man roster by 11/20 deadline)
ARBITRATION ELIGIBLE POST-2011: Montanez could qualify as a "Super Two" (still TBD)
Justin Berg, P (would be out of minor league options in 2012)
Esmailin Caridad, P
# Fernando Perez, OF (would be out of minor league options in 2012)
Brian Schlitter, P (after he is reinstateed from 60-day DL post-2011)
ELIGIBLE TO BE MINOR LEAGUE FREE-AGENT IF OUTRIGHTED: Berg and F. Perez can be minor league free-agents post-2011 if outrighted to minors, but Caridad and Schlitter cannot be minor league FA until post-2014
NOTE: It's possible that one or more of the veteran minor leaguers presently at Iowa (like Bryan Lahair, Scott Moore, Augie Ojeda, and/or Bobby Scales) could get a September "courtesy" call-up, but if that happens, all except Lahair would likely get outrighted back to the minors after the season (and then each can be a minor league FA), with Lahair probably kept on the 40-man roster at least until a first-baseman is signed or acquired via trade during the off-season.
* Doug Davis, P
Ryan Dempster, RHP (player option)
* John Grabow, P
Reed Johnson, OF
Rodrigo Lopez, P
* Carlos Pena, 1B
Aramis Ramirez, 3B (mutual option with club option $2M buy-out)
Kerry Wood, P
* Kosuke Fukudome, OF
NOTE: Salaries do not include signing bonuses not actually paid in 2012
+ Has NO TRADE rights in 2012
+ Alfonso Soriano ($18M 2012 through 2014)
+ Carlos Zambrano ($18M in 2012 and a $19.25M vesting-player option in 2013)
+ Aramis Ramirez ($16M mutual option or $2M club buy-out in 2012)
+ Ryan Dempster ($15.5M player option in 2012)
Carlos Silva (RELEASED - $2M 2012 buy-out still to be paid)
Carlos Marmol ($7M in 2012 and $9.8M in 2013)
Marlon Byrd ($6.5M in 2012)
Carlos Pena (FA post-2011 - $5M deferred from 2011 salary to be paid pre-2012)
Sean Marshall ($3.1M in 2012)
+ Jeff Samardzija ($3M club option in 2012 and $3.5 mutual option in 2013)
SUB-TOTAL: $94M (or $77M if Ramirez and Samardzija club options are declined)
NOTE: If Samardzija's 2012 club option is declined, he would lose his "no trade" rights and would revert back to being an "auto-renewal" player for 2012 (thereby being subject to a unilateral club option 20% pay-cut from his 2011 $3M salary), and if he is cut the max 20%, he would receive a non-guaranteed $2.4M contract for 2012 (and Cubs would owe him $600K severance if he is released prior to 2012 Opening Day). Samardzija will not be eligible for salary arbitration until after the 2012 season.
Jeff Baker ($2M?)
Blake DeWitt ($1.25M?)
Kosuke Fukudome (see NOTE)
Matt Garza ($9M?)
ANGEL GUZMAN ($1M? - but only if he is added to 40-man roster prior to becoming a minor league FA)
Koyie Hill ($1M?)
Luis Montanez ($750K? - but only if he qualifies for Salary Arbitration as a "Super Two")
Geovany Soto ($5M?)
Randy Wells ($3M?)
NOTE: Kosuke Fukudome is technically eligible for salary arbitration post-2011, but he has the right to demand his Outright Release if he has not signed a contract-extension by 11-15-2011
ESTIMATED SUB-TOTAL: $23M (presuming Fukudome is released)
Darwin Barney
JEFF BELIVEAU (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
Alberto Cabrera
Tony Campana
Chris Carpenter
Andrew Cashner
Welington Castillo
Starlin Castro
STEVE CLEVENGER (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
Casey Coleman
Tyler Colvin
Rafael Dolis
John Gaub
MARWIN GONZALEZ (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
RYAN FLAHERTY (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
BRYAN LAHAIR (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
D. J. LeMahieu
Scott Maine
Marcos Mateo
Luis Montanez - unless eligible for Salary Arbitration as a "Super Two" (see above)
James Russell
Jeff Samardzija ($2.4M - but only if 2012 club option is declined)
Kyle Smit
MATT SZCZUR (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
JOSH VITTERS (presuming he is added to 40-man roster)
ESTIMATED SUB-TOTAL: $8M (includes $2.4M salary for Samardzija, average $450K 2011 salary for 10 auto-renewal players on MLB 25-man roster, and average $75K minor league "split" salary for the 15 players who would be on optional assignment to minors)
ESTIMATED PROJECTED TOTAL 2012 PAYROLL: $108M (presuming Ramirez club option is declined, Fukudome is released, Samardzija's option is declined and he becomes an "auto-renewal" player, and none of the MLB free-agents are offered salary arbitration)
NOTE: The Cubs could net about $4M in 2012 payroll savings by non-tendering Samardzija, K. Hill, DeWitt, and Montanez, and not adding Guzman to the 40-man roster, and then replacing them on the 25-man roster with five auto-renewal players making an average of $450K, but that still only gets the 2012 payroll down to about $104M.
2012 CUBS MLB PAYROLL BUDGET: $???M (it appears that the 2011 Cubs MLB payroll budget is around $130M)
NOTE: The Cubs 2010 (last year's) payroll budget was apparently originally somewhere around $140M, but the team actually only ended up spending about $132M of it after Dempster's contract was re-structured (back-loaded) and Lilly, Theriot, D. Lee, and Fontenot were traded. The Cubs right now are on target to spend about $128M in player payroll in 2011, but it could be reduced if some of the veteran players (like Pena, Grabow, Wood, et al) are traded later in the season.

Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
AZ Phil: You are right in my wheelhouse. My brothers and I have been discussing this for a while. When visiting other ballparks, we share the knowledge of the 2012 World Series Winning Cubs to the people: "Repent! Reds Fans, Brewers Fans, Pirates Fans!,.etc.,etc.,"
Reguardless of who's on the roster, the Cubs will win 2012 ...According to the Mayan calendar, if it is in fact, correct. Works for me.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Castro 6, Johnson 8, Baker 3, Ramirez 5, Soto 2, Montanez 9, DeWitt 7, LeMahieu 4, Zambrano 1
LHP Narveson goes for Brewers...
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
mentioned earlier I believe, but Barney probably going to DL, I assume Soriano gets activated to take his spot.
Q-Ball's quote from yesterday
"His knee got banged up on that slide a little bit," Quade said. "Poetic justice for not being as far toward second base on the double as he probably should've been. ... I don't think it's anything serious. He's fine."
Dr. Q-Ball he is not...
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Ha... did Quade really say, "Thats what happens when you are a shitty baserunner!"
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I'm sure he said it in a sarcastic fashion, but that was the jist of it.
apparently he's okay with getting on the rookies, just not the vets.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
"Thats what happens when you are a shitty baserunner!"
Barney is considered a very good baserunner. It's why he has scored 34 runs this year in spite of a low OBP and poor run production from the middle of the order. Check out our leadoff hitter's runs-scored number some time when you have a minute.
Quade doesn't appear to know this either, so I guess I'll have to reluctantly give YOU a pass, but it's obvious from WGN's first-base camera replay (showing Barney and the left fielder in the same frame) that Barney was trying to get back to first on Pena's catchable warning-track fly, in order to tag up and go to second. He was being aggressive, not stupid.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
good point
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Barney does seem like a good baserunner for the most part imo, takes a lot of extra bases and BP has him rated at the best Cub, with Fukudome second to last.
I can't find the play on video anywhere, but you don't tag from first unless you're 98% certain the guy is going to catch the ball and is headed away from the base. Anything to left field, he should be on second base or a few steps past it, ready to go back, especially in a 1-run game. If he thinks he can beat a throw to second base on a tag up, he can just steal second base. Radio call sure didn't make it sound like it was a can of corn for Braun in anyway which was why I originally asked in a previous thread how he didn't score.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
mlb.com, the Bob & Len broadcast, first replay: they show the ball off the bat, then shift to a closeup of Braun missing it, then they go back a few seconds to Barney racing back to first while, in the same frame, Braun is waiting for the ball.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I watched the play live, and saw the replays, and sure, he may have been trying to tag up. Or he may have been stupid, and thought that he had to get back to 1b for some reason. But you simply don't choose to tag up on that play. That is base running 101. He was wrong, and both Barney and Quade admitted as much. Per Barney: "I made the wrong read and luckily I still got to third. I should've scored on that play." (http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index...)
Like Rob, I don't really think that Barney is a bad baserunner. And I was pretty clearly sarcastically paraphrasing Quade. But he did run the bases poorly on that play. But if you would prefer to think that you know more about what happened on that play than both Quade and Barney, go ahead.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I think I know what happened on the play, and I also think I added something to the discussion, since nobody else was mentioning a tag-up. Whether tagging up was a good decision, I don't think I ever weighed in on.
We all have a responsibility to add something to these discussions, rather than just subtract. Right?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Whether tagging up was a good decision, I don't think I ever weighed in on.
Actually, you did, in saying this: "He was being aggressive, not stupid."
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Check out our leadoff hitter's runs-scored number some time when you have a minute.
And that is relevant to Barney's base running how?
He was being aggressive, not stupid.
No... it is stupid, and simply not how you run the bases on that play. It was bad base running. I would MUCH rather have Barney score on that play than get to second on a fly out.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
rotoworld says at least 3 weeks w/o Barney.
now will Q-Ball remember that Baker is still useless vs. righties?
be a good time to switch Lamehieu for Ryan Flaherty
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Let's see if the new keystone combo makes more or fewer double plays minus Barney.
Cubs are last in the league at this point.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I agree. LeMahieu has probably watched enough MLB games so it's time to call up another prospect to sit the bench and watch Baker & DeWitt (that is unless they're playing outfield that day).
This is a three-ring circus.
Alfonso Soriano's endless contract
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Ricketts speaks...
cliff notes
- vote of confidence for Hendry and Q-Ball
- Wrigley not a dump
- says winning will bring fans, not least bit worried about attendance right now
- says debt structure is a non-issue and will have no effect on signing free agents
- didn't care much for Z's comments, but not a big deal either, same about shirt yesterday although doesn't want players wearing them outside of the clubhouse because of the language
(dismissive wanking motion)
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Ricketts also said he won't hire a CEO to replace Crane Kenney that has any actual baseball experience.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Once again I will give him this year, and if all the bs he said stands in the offseason we can gather the pitchforks and torches.
/ a riot is an ugly thing
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
and as I said, Andy McPhail was a CEO that had baseball experience, what's the rush to do that again.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
And as I posted, it was in the article, why censor it out in your roundup?
It's a major point.
And Andy McPhail did suck, but to be fair to an extent, he never had a ton of money to spend here. Not that I'm trying to be put in the position to defend him, but I would think having a baseball guy overseeing a baseball franchise makes more sense than having a failed newspaper executive in charge.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
It's this part I object to: "Then what do you get, a baseball guy to watch the baseball guy who's watching your baseball guys?"
Hey, Tom, don't do the reductio ad absurdam argument. This is the Cubs; it's *all* absurdam. You know that this organization has been run by lackadaisical fools for much of its post-1930s existence. The implication that multiple levels of baseball experience and competence could somehow hurt the club is snotty at best and disingenuous at worst.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Is Jim Hendry a baseball guy?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I'm guessing he's considered so by people who matter. From what I've read, I think so too, but then I don't matter.
I understood Ricketts to be addressing whether he should have ashcanned Kenney (the most glaringly "non-baseball-guy") and instead hired a Gillick/Alderson/Towers type. I'm still not sure if having done so would have meant improvements ("baseball guys" can make crap decisions too), but Ricketts' childish response grates on me. No, Tom, nobody is saying you need to hire 147 VPs of baseball ops. Sheesh.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
My comment about Jim Hendry was snark and was a commentary on his performance... or lack thereof.
Obviously, Jim Hendry is a baseball guy. He is the heart and soul of the Chicago Cubs. And this may be getting into my opinion rather than provable fact, but I believe Jim's stamp is on nearly every aspect of this organization from minor league coaches to scouts to large free agent acquisitions. This is, I believe, one reason why Jim Hendry is slow to go; because he IS the Chicago Cubs.
Regarding Tom Rickett's comment regarding a baseball guy team president... I think it all just depends on the GM. Jim Hendry, good or bad, doesn't really need a team president micromanaging him. Of course, the entire conversation about a 'baseball guy' is kind of strange to me as the term 'baseball guy' seems to be this ill-defined, nebulous person. I assume 'baseball guy' means someone who has worn a uniform and/or been involved in the baseball business most of his life. If this is the definition, then I would say Jim Hendry does not need a team president who is a baseball guy. I wouldn't say that about every GM, however.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Nice comment. Good stuff.
Things are a bit hazy right now with the Cubs, a team in transition. We'll all know for sure in a year or two whether they are going in the right direction, but in the meantime Hendry is still going to be there.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Sorry, I missed the snark. I, as you may know, stinks.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Those first two points do not represent reality, so it doesn't make me too confident that Ricketts is telling the truth about the fourth point.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
scott hatteberg playing shitty 1st base without the power and molina-like speed...but hey, he can take a walk and not score without 2+ hits if needed...or 3 walks =p
get on base, don't score, ride your pitching into the ground...woo.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
must have been a different 1999-2002 A's team playing in your universe...
you'd be better served playing the 'roids angle if you want to disservice those teams.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
hatteberg's character was hitting in the clip.
that was him (or his actor) murdering grounders at 1st, too.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
his character in the film is most likely the vehicle to show beane's ability to pick a diamond in the rough deemed expendable by another organization and turn him into something new.
he took a castoff backup catcher DFA'd by BOS and turned him into a sub-par 1st base starter that won't ask for 5-10m bucks. i'm sure he'll be hitting homers and going from crappy D to good D in the movie, though.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Beane must be pretty pleased with Pitt playing him.
Also, Bennett Miller, Director, did a pretty amazing job previously with Capote.
I think I'll see "Tree of Life" and then "Moneyball" for back-to-back Pitt.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Did my best to fill out a 25 man roster given the 39/40 spots on the 40 man, with the last spot going to your pick of Pujols/Fielder or other. It looks like we're going to have to drop a few players from the 40 in order to field a major league team next season. Out of the 39 players left on the 40, who is most likely to be released?
I'm thinking Montanez, Campana, Hill (please) and possibly Mateo or Coleman?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Sori behind Fielder?
Fielder may get IBB every at bat
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
What makes you think that Soriano would hit 4th? There is no way that happens.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Interesting that you have Baker as the starting 3B. That could happen.
Four pitchers on the 40-man who have pitched poorly in the minors this season are Cabrera, Caridad, Mateo and Kyle Smit. Cabrera is 22 and Smit 23, but Caridad and Mateo are 27+.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Cashner back to the pen?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Phil...so is Kerry Wood the pitching coach for 2012?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse

Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse

Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Carpenter switched to Angel Guzman's old number.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Thus the great fastballs that still get hit, just like what happened to Gooz when he first came up.
Actually, Carpenter's velocity is outstanding -- hit 99 mph twice, per gameday. Now, if he can learn where to put it and mix in a few off-speed pitches, we may have another nice bullpen power arm.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Wasn't Carpenter suppose to be a starter?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I believe Carpenter had a high pitch count issue when starting?
This was a command issue or something...anyway I know he was moved to the bullpen last season.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
carp can't work deep because of his control and disappointing lack of developing secondary stuff.
he's pretty much a 95-98+mph fastball and a slider he's almost afraid to use.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Thursday's line up:
Fukudome, Castro, DeWitt, Ramirez, Pena, Soriano, Soto, Campana, Garza
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
DeWitt third---how does Q-Ball keep a straight face....
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
Minor league Draft Eligible players that seem vulnerable
I am surprised the Cubs would risk losing Lake and to a lesser degree Spencer and Ridling. It seems to point to two problems we have. With a bunch of good but unspectacular prospects, inevitably we must choose who to hold and who to fold. Particularly this year we're watching barely adequate veterans being played when it appears prudent to get a good look at draft eligible minor leaguers such as the above mentioned so we don't see another McGehee slip through our fingers. LaHair might be a placeholder but it would be nice to see what Ridling might look like at 1B. And rather than add another middling RF, why not look at Spencer before we allow someone to get him for $50K. As for Lake, that's the problem with signing young Dominican players who go on the eligible list at 20 before we've seen them finally mature.
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
That makes it all the more confusing that a guy like LeMath would be called up so early?
Re: Preparing for the 2012 Apocalypse
I saw Carpenter throw all 3 times he's been in Chicago. I sit behind home plate and watch the new guys closely. He has been at 95-99 and 87-90 with the slider. Having not seen him before, I am actually impressed with his slider. Both his K's have come on nasty sinking sliders, his FB has a decent tail and he got ARod and Swisher out on weak ground balls on sliders, Swishers a 3-2 pitch one. Teixeira out on a on the hands FB that was popped up to right.I have been impressed so far as he has been in tight situations and handled it well for a rookie.
Recent comments
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).
CHITOWNMVP01: The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) has had one slot open since 7/6 (when RHRP Joel Peralta was Designated for Assignment).

Things are heating up with Heather Graham and her filmmaker boyfriend.
"We just moved in together," she said in Las Vegas Friday night at a charity poker tournament at Caesars Palace. The star of The Hangover has been dating Yaniv Raz, 32, for about nine months, she told PEOPLE.
Graham, 39, and Raz met while he director her in the upcoming movie Son of Mourning. Seeming very much in love, the couple held hands while entering the poker tournament with her Hangover costars and kissed on the red carpet.

Trying to keep up the faith but these types of days with serious drops on low volume and absolutley no news from headquarters can test a man's metal.
I was asking an Oil man I met online, if perhaps, Oxy wasn't trying to leverage PIE into a better deal, what with announcing early about pulling out (they have until March 4th). He said flat out no. He is working on putting together a play where they figure on the wells costing 2-3 million and bod rates between 400 & 600. In other words, Oxy will have plenty of better opportunities to chose from. This also makes it sound like getting another JV might be a challenge. That would leave PIE with the option of becoming a production company. Anyone out there know about Anschutz drilling away just to the north and west of PIE? They seem to be making it work. If that newspaper article was right, and we have a 150 and a 200 bod well, then why not drill in those areas and get some cash flow coming in and go from there. At just $70 a barrel a 200 bod well should produce $5,110,00 a year. And the 150 bod well had only 1/2 the frack sections, so who knows what it would produce had it been fracked like the Spring Hill well - probably at least as much. The dry hole proves what others are saying that the oil is in the upper zone - not the lower one like in North Dakota. But like I said before - I'm waiting on 5 cents. Looks like it's headed that way. Which ever way this goes, I doubt anymore drilling is going to be going on for some time.
as you know oxy has plenty of oil in california and other places.
mgt doesn't bother keeping shareholders informed so no wonder the company has gone down to dirt

Every Third Tuesday of the month, we will be gathering from 7 to 9 p.m. These meetings are by donation, so pay what you can afford! These days, a lot of people can't afford to go to our regular classes, and rather than have folks go without herbal education, I'm donating my time and some fun plant medicines to our growing, wonderful family of herbal enthusiasts.
So if you've been putting off coming to classes because you couldn't afford the $20 class fee, you now have NO excuse! Pay what you can (suggested donation of $5 - $10) and come learn and play with some incredible people every month!
These gatherings are less structured than our usual classes, but will be a great source of herbal education, they'll be VERY fun, and we'll have an additional opportunity to hang out and play together.
I'll leave some time near the end for a Q & A session, so bring Questions, and we'll try to find answers together!

The Fortune Cookie Sums It Up
My girlfriend was just cleaning out her kitchen and I was eating all the old Chinese Fortune Cookies she found (she's a vegan and I'll eat most anything that doesn't have flavor). I came across one fortune cookie that read:
No profit grows where there is no pleasure to be had.
I think that this is at the very foundation of what Kinky Solutions is all about; pleasure leading to profit, leading to growth. I try to use fun to learn and to teach. That is what Skin Spider is all about really; a fun domain to teach ColdFusion application development. Hey come on, the fortune cookies never lie.

In this paper, we exemplify the power reduction that can be achieved by using analogue rather than digital signal processing. This reduction is illustrated with an FSK demodulation. The power reduction is achieved using conventional off-the-shelf discrete electronics components rather than through an ASIC implementation. The power consumption is reduced by a factor of more than ten; more specifically, the analogue FSK demodulator consumes about 65 μW compared to 750 μW for the digital implementation. These results show that analogue signal processing is an interesting candidate for power optimisation, even in cases where an ASIC is not practical.

We have stayed at Lost Burro many times and will likely stay here again. Staff does keep the grass mowed, restrooms clean and grounds up well. Wi-Fi worked OK for checking mail, no AT&T cell service in most of the park. We stay here because the other campgrounds in town are in the open and not particularly inviting. While out of town a bit, you are close enough for the gaming, restaurants, and entertainment in Cripple Creek. Now the bad. This reason for my low rating is the large number of derelict looking units and full timers, some with messy campsites, staying here. Much of the park simply looks shabby as a result. - Paul Gavin

Disappointed in looks and layout of park. We thought the sites would be more secluded but all were wide open and close to each other even though not in rows. Several permanents RVs there that were trashy looking. Most sites are electric only, but they have a dump station. Many dogs barking, some off-leash. Interior roads are red dirt, slippery, and rough. Our site was impossible to level, as were others when we talked to other camper. The GOOD: very clean showers and bathrooms! They have a delicious BBQ dinner on Saturdays and it is a very good deal. - number one

Steep, tiered sites. The grassy area in front of RV not level. Our rug kept sliding down the hill and lawn chairs felt as if they might tip over. Many mosquitos, no cable and poor WiFi. Fenced dog park with one bench and piece of plastic sewer pipe. The owners were not very friendly or helpful. Considering the price, I didn't feel it was a good value. Probably won't be back. - Shelby Roo
Jul 2016 - $50.00
Glad we had GPS. A little difficult to find. I was worried about staying here based on reviews. Yes it is a dirt road up to the park, but pretty level. Sites are terraced and a little tight. We were able to manage ok with our 36 foot MH. Our site was level but the side was very uneven. We had trouble sitting in a lawn chair. The views were great and made up for alot of kinor inconveniences. The dog park is nice but scattered with droppingss from inconsiderate owners.
Staff is very nice and accomidating. We were pleasently surprised with this campground. Only issue was the altitude. It is just over 10000 feet and we had some trouble breathing (not their fault). We will stay here again. - sfretts

This KOA is on a very steep hill. Not Big Rig Friendly as we have a 40 ft RV. Right when you turn off the pavement the KOA road is so full of big pot holes that we just about dumped all our cabinets. The road is rough long and steep. Hard to park and find a level site. I would not recommend this KOA and I would not stay again. - Matt Wilson

We stayed here due to mandatory fire evacuation from the Waldo Fire (Colorado Springs). The owner offered free sites to fire evacuees. Cripple Creek is a big gaming location with lots to do in the area. Walking distance to town and a free shuttle offered as well. Not a glamorous park but good power and convenient location. - Gailb

$29 dollar rate is weekly w/ 50 amp full hookups. Extremely friendly staff and plenty sufficient non-resort campground. Short gravel drive to sites which are not large, but quite adequate - easy drive in and easy drive out. Power / electrical voltage excellent. Water very good and not hard. Bath house clean according to my wife's high standards. No real amenities other than excellent basics. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Stayed here a week in our 40' motorhome to explore Cripple Creek and surrounding area. - God Bless America
Aug 2012 - $25.00
While the area around Cripple Creek is interesting to explore and of course the gambling can be fun, the Campground itself is nothing special. The Pros are the location and the friendly people in the office. The Cons were the unlevel sites, locations of the hookups being right next to the rickety picnic table and close proximity to the next unit. Its definitely not the worst place, but far from the best. - sl11744
Aug 2011 - $24.00
The previous reviewers are spot on for most of the details. FWIW, the spot they assigned us wasn't large enough or level enough for our 40' coach so we chose another site. It worked out fine, but we had to use our spare leveling blocks under the front tires to keep from "hanging" them from the leveling jacks. If possible, stay in sites A1-A4 if you can, they have the best view of the not so distant mountains. This is a great place to visit, but mostly for the wonderful things to do while in the area, not necessarily for the campground. There was much to see and explore and we had a grand time in Cripple Creek. We'd would stay here again as the alternative nearby was much more difficult to enter and to get set up at. - mackerman

Mueller is beautiful and has amazing views. Tons of hiking trails. The park has a lot of options for different size rigs but gets pretty tight for larger RV's. If you have a bigger camper/trailer we would suggest going with a spot that is one size larger than you would normally get. The pull throughs can be narrow to get in and out of because there are so many large trees all around. - Team Lobster

Would have been nice to have had sewer hookup, but they do have a dump station. Must go to the lodge for WiFi, but nice walk. Fishing is available there. Other outdoor activities are there as well.

This is the 4th year I've stayed at Lone Duck & I love it more every year! They're always making improvements, but the friendly staff, clean bathrooms, hot showers with excellent water pressure, beautiful surroundings, and free coffee every morning stay the same. There's a great camp store and the best B'fast deal around available right there every morning - delicious pancakes and sausage for only $5. The pool, stocked lake for fishing, video arcade, and rushing stream keep the kids so active & happy! We just LOVE everything about this Camoground. It's also convenient to everything and there's even a pizza place that'll deliver here. We'll be back! Wouldn't stay anyplace else. - SilverJ

Very friendly and helpful staff. We camped here for 3 nights while we explored the Colorado Springs area. It was a great location with easy access to Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs, Royal Gorge, and Pikes Peak. The sites were large and easy to get in and out of. They had a heated swimming pool and served an all you can eat breakfast for $5.00. We were in a 33 foot RV with 3 slides and had no problem in our site. We highly recommend it. - cbp
Aug 2012 - $37.00
Very nice staff, easy pull through site, choosing a site was easy as there were very few other campers. CG is mostly dirt but good shade with some grass. Restrooms were dated and not very clean probably because it is the end of the primary camping season. They have a wonderful pool but I am sure many campers abuse the restrooms, i.e. track dirt everywhere, after using the pool and then the restrooms. Excellent WI-FI but that may be due to the small amount of campers using it. Unfortunately this CG is just down the hill from Hwy 24; it is very noisy during the day, fine at night as long as we were inside the camper. Not a place to enjoy the out-of-doors unless you are just there for the pool and playground for the kids. It is close to Manitou Springs. - katinfoco

So glad we found this place. Yes, it's old but the restrooms have been done and are very very clean all the time. They have two Pull Through Sites that give you the most amazing view of the mountains...the kids loved the rec room...pool table ping-pong and foosball and TV. The staff are so friendly, not much in the camp store, just a few things, but Walmart is only a few miles up the hill in Woodland Park. TV reception is great. Their WiFi is slow but verizon 4G was strong. - plcurl

This park would be fine for an overnight stay. Clean restrooms, but many sites have permanent residents and were a bit shabby. Park is just off highway, but road noise wasn't noticeable at night. WiFi was good. - rebeccaal
May 2014 - $25.00
The staff are incredibly sweet and helpful. The park is clean, but somewhat barren at the sites (no grass). The older playground equipment should be condemned and removed...it is old, rusty, full of splinters and just plain dangerous (especially the merry go round)! The newer playground equipment is fine, but the owner prefers only toddlers use it, even though it's not sized for toddlers. There are mountains surrounding the park, so the view is breathtaking no matter where you look! The store is well stocked. The game room is adequate and fun. It is the halfway point between Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, about 20 minutes from each. I would camp there again and I've recommended it to a few people. - The Boho Hobos

Coroner Rules Michael Jackson's Death a Homicide
It already looked bad for Houston physician Dr. Conrad Murray, whom just about everyone with a pulse expects to face criminal charges stemming from his client Michael Jackson's June 25 death and is already the subject of a manslaughter probe by the LAPD. Now things look even worse, because the Associated Press is reporting that the Los Angeles County Coroner's office has ruled Jackson's death a homicide. The report has not been officially released, but the official told the AP the coroner found the anesthetic propofal and two powerful sedatives in Jackson's system.According to a search warrant affidavit that police used to raid Murray's Houston office and storage facility last month, the doctor has already admitted to police that he gave Jackson several drugs, including propofal, the day the pop star died. Rocks Off says he'll be arrested within 24 hours, but just to be on the safe side, we'll take the under.

Hercules XPS510 5.1 Speaker System Review
- Subwoofer
The XPS510's 20 watt subwoofer features a solid wooden casing. This assures more undistorted, deep bass effects when compared to a plastic casing. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and features a 5.25" paper cone driver with a frequency response of 35Hz - 180Hz. On the back of the subwoofer you will notice a rather large, black heatsink. This helps keep the unit cool after extended periods of use. Another thing to note is that the subwoofer is quite compact compared to some competing solutions, measuring 170mm(W) x 315mm(D) x 238mm(H). This makes it ideal for those of you that do not have much room around or under your desk.
Unlike some high-end speaker systems that feature a separate control box full of knobs and switches, the XPS510's controls are on the subwoofer itself. There is a power switch, a volume knob and a bass knob. One complaint I have about the controls being mounted on the subwoofer itself is that because I usually place the subwoofer on the floor, it is quite inconvenient having to reach under my desk to adjust the volume, bass, etc.

What a great day!!
What a great day!!
Feb 03, 2005 2:17PM PST
Sony finally announced the release date and price for the PSP. The PSP will be released on Thursday March 24, 2005 and will cost $249.99. Yeah, I know the price is steeper then everyone was speculating and hoping but I think it is a better deal then people want to admit at this point. The only version released is the value pack which includes a headphones with integrated remote, 32MB Memory Stick Duo, battery pack, soft case, cleaning cloth, a sampler UMD disc with non playable game demos and for the lucky first million a SpiderMan 2 UMD movie disc. I think that price is cheaper then what the Japanese Value Pack converted to in US dollars and we get the movie disc which Japan did not get.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
New CBA Hurts Pens
by Paul on 12/15/05 at 11:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
It's quite the irony. The deal that was supposed to have been the salvation of small-market hockey franchises and their fans may actually have made it easier for one of those teams to cut and run. And the player who was supposed to have led the renaissance of a dying club may in short order wind up as the poster boy somewhere else. A year and three months back, the National Hockey League went to war with its players and eventually won a glorious victory, shoving a collective labour agreement complete with salary cap right down their throats.continued

- Alaska finalizes its deal to buy out TransCanada's (NYSE:TRP) share in the proposed Alaska LNG export project for $64.6M, giving the state direct ownership in the project along with partners BP, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM).
- The $45B-$65B project would transport natural gas from the North Slope fields, then liquefy the fuel at a facility on Cook Inlet for shipment to markets in Asia; it has not yet been approved for construction and would not start commercial shipments before 2023.
- The state legislature earlier this month approved funding to buy out TRP's interest in the project.

- Canadian oil producers may say they are on board with Alberta's new climate change policy goals, but the requirement that companies reduce their methane emissions by 45% will add costs "in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years," the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers says.
- Alberta's oil and gas sector produced 30.4 megatons of methane emissions in 2013, accounting for 70% of the province's overall methane emissions.
- National Bank Financial analyst Kyle Preston calls Alberta's climate change policy "fair and accommodating" for oil and gas companies, and says newer energy projects such as Canadian Natural Resources' (NYSE:CNQ) Horizon oil sands project and MEG Energy's (OTCPK:MEGEF) Christina Lake facility emit less greenhouse gas than older facilities, which will be hit harder by the new policies.

Nov. 23, 2015, 8:19 AM
- Alberta's government announces plans to cap oil sands emissions for producers, phase out coal power plants and implement a carbon tax in an effort to curb pollution.
- The provincial government in impose a limit of 100 megatons/year of carbon emissions, above current annual emissions of ~70 megatons, phase out coal power plants by 2030, and set a carbon price of C$20/metric ton (US$15) by 2017 which rises to C$30 in 2018.
- The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers supports the initiative, saying it could help improve Alberta's image in markets to which oil sands producers hope to expand access.
- "This will create a wealth of opportunities and jobs for generations to come. We in Alberta want to take a leadership role on climate," says Suncor (NYSE:SU) CEO Steve Williams.
- Coal producers criticized the new policy, however, saying it will raise electricity costs in Alberta and cost Canadian jobs.

Nov. 20, 2015, 10:53 AM
- Production from Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale play is expected to double by 2018, according to a new development study by Wood Mackenzie.
- The study says oil and gas output from the play will be moderate in 2016, with a Y/Y production increase of 10%, but the increase will see a sharp upturn by 2020.
- The consultant sees ~200 wells brought online in the region in 2015, with fewer in 2016 as vertical wells are phased down.
- In order to fully develop Vaca Muerta, the study suggests that more joint venture deals will be necessary, as YPF will need outside assistance to develop the 6.3M acres it holds.
- Related tickers: XOM, CVX, RDS.A, RDS.B
Nov. 18, 2015, 9:11 AM
- A Dutch court orders more cuts in gas production at the Groningen field in The Netherlands, saying the government had given too little consideration to earthquakes caused by gas extraction.
- The court says output at Europe's largest gas field will now be capped at 27B cm/year from 33B cm through October 2016, adding that the government had failed to sufficiently weigh public safety risks.
- Production already had been cut twice this year from an original target of 39.4B cm, sending regional prices higher.
- The Groningen field is operated by a joint venture including Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and the Dutch government.
Nov. 18, 2015, 8:33 AM
- Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform at Raymond James, which says XOM's limited leverage to oil prices will act as a hindrance during an expected modest oil price recovery in 2016.
- Analyst Pavel Molchanov says the downgrade is not a short-term trading call but a 6-12 month time horizon, which could prove wrong if oil spends the year below $50/bbl.
- Molchanov expects XOM shares to be a source of funds for investors turning more constructive on oil in 2016.
Nov. 16, 2015, 6:53 PM
- Low crude prices have caused oil companies to cut spending but they are still protecting their hefty dividends, WSJ reports, as the four supermajors - Exxon (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) and BP - have distributed nearly $28B to their shareholders YTD, ~10% more than the same period in 2014, and as their collective earnings have fallen by more than 70%.
- The payments to investors come amid $22B in reduced spending on exploration and development of oil fields, and 80 scrapped or delayed projects so far this year, according to BP E&P chief Lamar McKay.
- The supermajors have little choice but to pay fat dividends to keep investors, but it is a potentially risky strategy given concerns about the length of the oil price downturn and its impact on cash flow; dividend yields oil companies made last quarter are at the highest level in more than a decade, according to FactSet.
- But investors are hooked: CVX has increased its annual per-share dividend for each of the last 28 years, XOM has raised its dividend by an average of 6.4% every year for the last 33 years, and Shell and BP have reiterated that maintaining returns to shareholders is a priority.
Nov. 16, 2015, 9:59 AM
- Russia's first deputy natural resources minister says the partnership between Rosneft (OTC:RNFTF) and Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.7%) is "long-term," when asked about talks between Rosneft and Chinese firms on their possible participation in offshore Arctic projects.
- Russia's RIA news agency had quoted Russian Deputy Energy Minister Yanovsky as saying Rosneft wanted to allow Chinese companies to take part in its offshore Arctic projects.
- Rosneft suspended drilling in Kara Sea in 2014 after XOM withdrew from the project because of Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
Nov. 14, 2015, 8:25 AM
- The number of oil wells in North Dakota that have been drilled but not fracked surpassed 1,000 for the first time in September, as producers wait for prices to recover before turning them on.
- As a result, more than 8% of oil wells in North Dakota now are sitting idle, harming the industry's ability to grow production; daily output in the state fell 2% in September to ~1.16M bbl/day.
- The backlog is "sending a definite signal to the market that oil and gas operators are not willing to do a lot of drilling or hydraulic fracturing or production at these low prices," says Lynn Helms, director of the state's Department of Mineral Resources, who figures the backlog is not likely to be worked off until next year at least, and only if oil prices rise.
- Top North Dakota producers include CLR, HES, EOG, WLL, XOM, OAS, NOG, EOX, MRO
Nov. 13, 2015, 9:12 AM
- Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) says it plans to start drilling in Liberia in late 2016 or early 2017, in what the country's president calls a sign of economic recovery after the Ebola epidemic.
- Liberia produces no oil but has awarded a number of exploration blocs offshore, following the examples of neighbors Ghana and Nigeria.
- XOM had signed on for Block 13 in 2003 but put the project on hold due to the Ebola epidemic.
Nov. 10, 2015, 11:38 AM
- Israel's energy minister says the country is encouraging global oil companies to further explore its offshore waters for natural gas, adding that he has met senior execs of more than 20 energy companies, including Eni (NYSE:E), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Hess (NYSE:HES) to gauge interest.
- Yuval Steinitz estimates 350T-530T cf of gas, or at least 60B boe, in the whole of the eastern Mediterranean basin, which includes Israeli, Egyptian and Cypriot waters.
- Steinitz also says a framework agreement on two gas fields would be signed off by the prime minister this year and that exploration for more fields could begin thereafter; Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) and Delek (OTCPK:DGRLY) had been negotiating long-term contracts to sell gas from the fields to companies in Egypt, but the deals were delayed by bureaucratic hurdles in Israel.
Nov. 10, 2015, 10:59 AM
- Executives from Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.1%), BP (BP -0.5%) and Total (TOT -0.9%) tell an oil industry conference in Abu Dhabi that the global oil glut is likely to last longer than expected and may depress oil prices for many more months if not years.
- BP's and XOM's heads of exploration and production Lamar Mckey and Jack Williams both say low oil prices likely will stay for a while, and BP's Middle East chief Michael Townshend says he foresees oil fluctuating ~$60/bbl for another three years.
- But the oil industry is quickly becoming more efficient by learning how to recover more resources from existing fields; Williams cites the 36% decline in the cost of well drilling in North Dakota over the past four years while generating higher production.
Nov. 9, 2015, 7:23 PM
- Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) has acquired a 35% stake in an oil block off Uruguay's coast and will team up with Total (NYSE:TOT) to spud the country's first offshore exploratory well, according to Uruguay's state oil company.
- The well will be drilled ~250 miles from the seaside capital Montevideo at a depth of 3,400 meters (11,155 ft.).
- The two companies will invest $200M and begin drilling the well in H1 of next year, the state-run firm says.
Nov. 9, 2015, 3:34 PM
- Apache (APA +14.3%) shares reach their highs of the day after a report that the company had rejected a takeover offer after a suitor was lured by APA's $1.6B in cash and low leverage to help strengthen its balance sheet and fund a dividend.
- One analyst thinks Hess (HES -0.8%) and Murphy Oil (MUR +0.5%) - with strong balance sheets and which have materially underperformed in 2015 as investors have focused on E&Ps with longer life onshore portfolios - also could be buyout targets.
- But shares of APA's peers have enjoyed little benefit from the report, which Heard On The Street's Spencer Jakab says suggests that the bargains on offer among North American oil and gas producers are not compelling enough to kick off a round of consolidation and that the list of buyers is short.
- Analysts at Simmons thinks Exxon Mobil (XOM -2.1%) and BP (BP -0.5%) are the most likely prospective buyers for APA.
Nov. 9, 2015, 11:14 AM
- Ineos, owner of Scotland's Grangemouth refinery, signs a deal with Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) to supply ethane derived from U.S. shale gas imported into Scotland to their nearby chemical plant.
- Swiss-based Ineos, which recently acquired the U.K. North Sea natural gas field interests of Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman's LetterOne investment fund, will supply ethane from Grangemouth to the Fife Ethylene Plant at Mossmorran in Scotland from mid-2017.
- The plant is owned by an Exxon subsidiary, and a Shell subsidiary has 50% capacity rights.

- The New York attorney general's investigation of Exxon Mobil's (XOM -1.8%) record on climate change may prompt legal inquiries into other oil companies, NY Times reports, citing legal and climate experts.
- Prosecutors could decide to probe companies that funded or joined groups that questioned climate science or policies designed to address the problem to see if discrepancies exist between the companies' public and private statements, according to the report.
- For example, internal documents discussing climate change from companies belonging to the Global Climate Coalition - including XOM, BP, Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) and Texaco (now part of Chevron CVX) - could contradict what the companies said as part of the group, which disbanded in 2002.
- Energy experts say it would be harder to make cases against oil companies than it was against tobacco companies that deliberately hid research from their customers, since many oil company scientists, including those of XOM, have presented papers on climate change publicly at conferences and contributed to research of groups concerned with the issue.

The Amazing Strauss-Kahn Case
The roue, the maid and the mysterious $100,000 deposit.
Within the disintegration of the Manhattan district attorney's case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn may be found sufficient lessons to occupy seminars on law, media, sex rehab and modern politics for a very long time.
Let's start with the higher road of the law's role in what, from start to finish, has been a very low story.
After Mr. Strauss-Kahn's arrest in May for his encounter with an immigrant maid in a room at the Sofitel Hotel on New York's West 44th Street, the Manhattan DA charged him with seven counts, including four felonies. Bear in mind that the accused was not some anonymous French businessman overwhelmed by the neon excitement of Times Square but was the managing director of the International Monetary Fund and the odds-on favorite to be the Socialist contender for the presidency of France.
After indicting Mr. Strauss-Kahn, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. announced that the "evidence supports the commission of nonconsensual forced sexual acts." Moreover, the prosecutor's office called the maid's account of sex "compelling and unwavering." Thereupon, Mr. Strauss-Kahn took ownership of the tabloid covers.
This Thursday evening, information about the maid was leaked by New York law officials. Under investigation, the maid's credibility passed from compelling to about zero.
The investigation revealed that a day after the May incident the Guinean immigrant called a man, in jail for possession of 400 pounds of marijuana, to discuss how she might exploit the case. The call was taped. Even more compelling, this man and others had made cash deposits totaling $100,000 in the maid's bank account. This raised the possibility that the woman was involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. There's more, but that's enough.
There is little possibility of the DA's office winning a she said/he said case against Mr. Strauss-Kahn, who earlier had posted $1 million bail and a $5 million bond (money, it was reported, that will be returned to him). On Friday, the prosecutors agreed to release Mr. Strauss-Kahn on his own recognizance. He can travel anywhere in the U.S.
The case isn't officially over. A prosecutor in the DA's office says the rape charge will continue, because forensic evidence establishes a sexual encounter. In light of the woman's recorded conversation about cashing in on the incident, it is difficult to see the point. Instead, the Manhattan DA should dig deeper into the reasons for those large cash deposits to the woman's bank account. Mr. Strauss-Kahn's allies inevitably will suggest the money was part of a plot to entrap him. If it was only part of routine money-laundering, that needs to be established quickly.
Mr. Vance's office loaded up a lot of its reputation on the credibility of one witness in a high-profile case. That reputation has taken a hit. That said, Mr. Vance deserves credit for resisting the modern, Javert-like prosecutor compulsion to grind these cases through the courts. If it's over, it should be over.
As to Dominique Strauss-Kahn, no doubt he has been handled roughly. Some in France will ascribe this to "the Americans." We would suggest it is truer to say that if a man is known throughout the world as simply "DSK," he has attained a degree of stature and fame that he can protect or pointlessly put at risk. Running an international institution or running for the presidency of an important nation is incompatible—if no one has noticed by now—with also being a famous and full-time roue.
There was a time when the peccadilloes, misdemeanors and even high crimes of public officials might be carried out on the tides. No longer. In the modern media age, nothing of this sort is ever "small" for people in public life, which—hard as it is to recall—brings with it public responsibilities.
People like Dominique Strauss-Kahn or Anthony Weiner, who want to skate along the edge of responsibility to the public they serve and the excitements of private temptation, should probably retire to private life where they can take their chances with nothing more than private reputation.
The case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn has turned out to be a useful if rugged lesson for prosecutors, the media, politicians, gawkers and the famous man at the center of it all. With luck, the lessons may even be learned.
