In the Memory provider described in PyQGIS Cookbook or in question How to create a new empty vector layer programmatically? I can see how to create a vector layer programmatically using standard fields (String, Int, Double).
with PyQGIS/QGIS 1.8.0, is it possible to programmatically add calculated fields like the ones defined using the GUI field calculator? After some reading about QgsExpression I'm thinking in something like this:
exp = QgsExpression('Column * 3')
pr.addAttributes( [ QgsField( "fieldName", QVariant.Expression, exp ) ] )

Hey! How are you?!
Hey Betheny,
M son is stationed at Vance for the next year. What's OK like?
My goal is finding a handicapped camper to rent and visit him.
Cheer, Steve
Hi Betheny...I like your knowledgeable and insightful posts. If you're bored, feel free to message me at KP1996 on Yahoo Messenger.
was trying to send you a pm, wrong place,
you're totally cool, love all your posts. You're like the big sister 'round here.
Hey Beth, Just wanted to say hello. And that I care. We miss you here and on FB. I'm hoping to see you again in October in Irvine. Take care,
Hope your feeling better.
love your attitude
peter f
i'm new to this site and saw it's your b'day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
i am looking for females to share stories with. i'm a c4/5 . whats your level? if you feel like it give me a line.
betheny i am deeply sorry for your recent tragedy. i was popping into cc over the summer but was not on for long and didnt read a lot if any of the posts. i just found out about it, dont know what happened, just saw a posting where your father was calling you a widow wife. like you needed that and very hurtful and inappropriate especially considering the very short time frame. you dont need tough love, you have been there. i am deeply sorry, with the graves and everything else in your life, this i am sure floored you as it would any of us.
peace and keep writing, i wish i could write , but i seem to have lost that focus , i have to learn to talk on the phone more as i know few locals that have a clue.
Hey beth, sorry to here about your bubby passing a while back. I hope you are doing good. it has been a while since I last posted but I do check in from time to time. I have a new computer and am trying to learn all it can do. the screen looks a lot different than my old one so I have no idea of what I am doing.lol.
Beth, PM me
Thanks for the advice
Thou hast a game waiting at Facebook.
Just wanted to say that I love you, lady. Please let me know if you need anything.

I was not sure if you read my reply to my salad recipe but you can use any kind of meat. Pork chops would work well. I hope you try and I hope you enjoy it. Let me know
Hi Beth, it's a minute past midnight here 4/11/09 so have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think I'll ask Steven if I can write one and they'd make it a Sticky. Need to do it before summer travel season gets here. And I need cspanos to write up that awesome island he stayed on, where he was sitting on a deck and looking at the Great Barrier Reef.
Flying to Australia...There's a Great Barrier, if you ask me. I keep telling myself "If Dogger could do it, you can too." And Dogger made that flight solo. But he was a great deal tougher than me. That Barrier Reef is taunting me. "Here I am, but you've never seen me, nah nah nah nah nah. And you call yourself a scuba diver..."
I wish Dogger was here to egg me on. Damn I miss him!
Good idea re. the trip report and especially the template for the hard of writing.
Pictures of obvious bear traps like your corrugated slope and sand pit would be a great help as well, I spend ages squinting at pics. in brochures trying to judge gradients and the like, invariably it's worse/better than I thought, the photographer has to be a wheeler to get a meaningful shot.
I can't believe you were surprised when a hot guy hit on you, look at your avatar and "study more" (I do miss him sometimes)!
Bummer re. the diving but the island sounds heavenly and I can't wait to see the pics.
PS Timaru-A hot guy macked on me in the Atlanta airport. Said "You are a DOLL. Do you ever go to DC? Would you call me?" I said I would, if not for that pesky husband. He was a gentleman so apologized profusely. OMG, I needed that! And I think I need to wear more halter tops, senorita skirts and suntans-Age be damned!
Didn't get to dive, as Jill was poorly and it was windy as hell. It was Mardi Gras Week on this little Caribbean island, just a village really, 8 miles off the coast of Cancun. Island name = Isla Mujeres. It is 1/2 mile wide, and 4 miles long, and the residents look like Mayan Indians. (Because they are!) Little English spoken, got to practice my Spanish. Lots of community parades, and bright colors (the theme was Cubano!) The MOST relaxing vacay ever. Photos coming soon!
Hey - you're back, I've missed your posts, rumor has it that you've been diving in Mexico, if so where are the pics?
Your public awaits!
Hey you been hiding? not seen much of you lately! Oh Merry Christmas freind!!
hey bethany, i have seen yr posts so i know u have been around. just wanted to know i was thinkin about u....i pray for u and your son and family still. Is he doin ok these days??
dear betheny,
very sorry for your troubles. If you were meaning adi, I think he has made effort to change in the last couple of weeks. I notice he isnt trying to disrupt threads, and his comments have changed in nature. this thing with jhope will probaly affect him more than you might think.
ms Betheny, you have been like a shiney little flower in the muddy of field of life. your posts have made a real difference in my frame of mind. Im sure Im not the only one who feels that way. please dont change a thing about the way you post. you have a wonderful personality, and wisdom. please know that you have been a huge supporting stone in the c.c. city of hope. right up there with Dr young and the sci nurses. hang in there. and dont worry so much about buttheads.
I'll have to tell you about my brother's funeral. I know it was funny, because of one of our dearest friends leaned up against the wall of the church, slapping his knee, tears of mirth streaming down his face. Due to circumstances it was hard for me to laugh, but it IS a great story.
If they make a scene, you'll survive anyway. It was a proud day for me, on my wedding day. Mom yelled across the yard at Dad "Frank, it's good to see you're still an ASSHOLE!" (She had a stroke, has no filters.)
I laugh about it now.
And now I'm laughing about it! PRICELESS!
Well, f*** that then!
Mimi-Don't attribute it to me, pls. I'm backsliding already.
"Better humans don't curse." Can I quote you on that?
Oh just whenever you get around to it. I'm not in a huge hurry. I'll email it later. Thanks!
Sure will! When do you need it by?
Oh, I love Dr. Drew. That man is a stud.
Hey, I have a favor to ask. If I email you this cover letter and career goals thing I have to write, will you give me your thoughts? I need someone else's opinion.
Ashley-will do. Pls don't send me crabbs!
hey betheny...would you mind bumping your send your ex crabs thread? I can't seem to find it, and want to share the link thanks!
PJ Case aka Dingo wasn't invited, to my great distress. But yes, I've been to Minneapolis and got home last night. Whew, that was a lonnngggg drive! Well worth it; we got a lot of organization type work done and I feel great about the progress made. I am exhausted, though! I just got back from taking my lil pajama case to the park. He's working on forgiving me for my desertion. Steve says Dingo CLUNG to him while I was gone, actually slept ON his legs. That made me laugh. When Dingo wants to make sure I can't leave without him, he sits on my wheelchair. Equally effective!
Are you and the pajama case (sorry Dingo) on the road yet?
Jeff from Taxi is back and more messed up. His g/f Vicki is in treatment after she kicked him in his back five times after his fourth surgery. Total crazy bitch. She's next door in another wing so won't be there all the time, thank God.
-Gary Bussey is there and thinks he's part of the "staff" to help people. He thinks he's clean and suber, but he's been smoking pot so go figure. Bussey has what appear to be behavioral probs from his head injury. It's that or psych probs or both.
-Tawny Kittaen.
-Sean Stewart, Rod's son.
--Rodney King.
Some model who's been doing drugs with her Mom. --A season 1 American Idol 3rd runner up who got into substances after AI and hit it hard when her Mom died after they partied together about a year ago.
-The guy who was kicked out of Guns n Roses for drugs. (Yeah, let THAT one sink in a bit.)
Bussey's the crazy as hell wild card so far. Dude is annoying and hasn't a clue.
I love Dr. Drew and especially Shelley. You have to love Shelley. Maybe you can catch it before next week because they usually air it again before the new episode each week.
Hope you're doing well B. I miss you Girl.
I highly regret missing that. Who are the Drunks du Annum?
Hey B. Don't know if you're on your trip yet, but Dr. Drew hits it again tonight with Celeb Rehab on VH1 at 10 p.m. Eastern. Just passing it along. Hope all is well with you.
NOOOO! I'm your enemy!!!!!
LOL, of course. If I ever figger out the point, I shall inform you!
Yer agreeable to me friend request, me duckie?
LOL, dunno, I'm soooo confused!
Is there a tutorial we can sign up for about using this new format?

Hawai'i Music Pupu Platter
While interviewing artists for the 50 Greatest Hawai'i Albums list, we heard many stories and tidbits that we didn't have room for in the main feature, but they were too fun to leave out. Here are some of them: The Booga Booga comedy team-Rap Reiplinger (photo 1), Ed Kaahea and James Grant Benton-started out as doormen for Keola and Kapono Beamer's show at the Territorial Tavern in downtown Honolulu. Says Kapono: "That was our first gig, and we'd sometimes get lines around the block. James, Ed and Rap asked us if they could try out some material on our off nights, and we said sure. After that, they just took off."
Palani Vaughan's career got a similar start while Don Ho was performing at Waikïkï's Kälia Gardens. "I was his 'singing doorman,'" Vaughan says. "When Don found out I could sing, he would just call me up on stage once in a while to do numbers."
Like father, like son. Augie Colon, who played percussion for Martin Denny, created and performed the birdcalls that became an integral part of the exotica sound. About 40 years later, Colon's son, Lopaka, joined Pure Heart. On the group's debut album, Lopaka is credited with-what else-percussion and bird calls.
Although Kahauanu Lake is right-handed, he strums his 'ukulele with his left hand. When he first started lessons at 4 years old, he learned how to play in mirror fashion, following the instructor in front of him. "Maybe I'm correct, and everybody else just plays their 'ukulele wrong," Lake jokes.
The love song "Kainoa" was written by Jimmy Taka when he found out he was dying of cancer. The song was for his wife, Margaret Kainoa Taka, a former cruise director for Matson liners. Taka then shared the song with his friend Andy Cummings. Cummings, one of Hawai'i's guitar greats, put the song down on paper and later taught it to his then-teenage niece, Marlene Sai. "Kainoa" went on to become Sai's first hit and title for her debut album.
Composer extraordinaire Ku'i Lee and Buddy Fo, founding member of The Invitations, were close friends who enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard together. Lee was an intellectual, says Fo, but definitely not a neat freak. "If we wanted to go on liberty, we'd have to wear clean, pressed uniforms for inspection," Fo says. "Ku'i would never be ready for inspection, and he would borrow my jumper and return it without washing 'em, every time." Fo had his way of getting back at Lee. "On the ship, haole guys used to hang around us to hear us sing and play guitar," Fo says. "Every time Ku'i did a new song, like 'One Paddle, Two Paddle,' I'd tell him, 'Junk, that song,' even though I knew it was pretty neat." Of course, some of those songs eventually became some of Don Ho's biggest hits. Fo, who now plays congas for Ho's thrice-weekly show, likes to joke: "Maybe if I were nicer to him, I would've become the millionaire, and Don Ho would be playing backup for me."
Ku'i Lee was a perfectionist when it came to songwriting. "When he wrote 'Lahaina,' he didn't like it, so he crumpled it up and threw it in the wastebasket," says friend and entertainer Don Ho. "His wife, Nani, just grabbed it out of there and brought it to me. I recorded it, and it was a hit."
None of the members of the group Kalapana were actually from Kalapana. Mackey Feary, Malani Bilyeu, D.J. Pratt and Kirk Thompson just wanted to name their band after a Hawai'i town, so they blindfolded Pratt, spun him around and had him point to a random spot on a map of the Islands. Lucky for them, one translation of the town name is "free beat of music."
Although Gabby Pahinui couldn't read music, he had an incredible ear for it. When his label, Panini Records, took him to record in California, he sat in on a rehearsal of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. "Gabby was wearing a T-shirt and horrible pants, and when all these trained musicians started to play, Gabby told the conductor to stop," says family friend and radio personality Honolulu Skylark. "The conductor was probably like, 'Who is this weird-looking man?' Gabby points over to one lady playing the violin in the middle of these twenty-something musicians, and he tells the conductor, 'She's flat.' And this man who couldn't read a note was right-unbelievable."
Long before Jack de Mello became one of Hawai'i's producing giants, he was a child music prodigy, a brilliant trumpet player by age 6 and touring the states with his brother. "When he was 11 years old, he got a call from [world-renowned composer] Igor Stravinsky," says son Jon de Mello. "Stravinsky wanted to learn how to write for a marching band. So my father actually started traded lessons with Stravinsky, because my father wanted to know how to write for a big orchestra."
Jack de Mello's body of work seems even more impressive today, considering the time and financial constraints under which he conducted his orchestra. "My father used to budget 23 minutes per song, because of the cost factor-$80,000 per day to have an orchestra, for a full 100-person chorus and 50 or 70 musicians," says son Jon de Mello. "We'd have three chances to record it, so the process was an absolute performance." Because overdubbing was not yet widely used, Music of Hawai'i, for instance, was essentially a live album.
When Honolulu City Lights came out, producer Tom Moffatt gave a copy to his friend, Karen Carpenter. He told her, "Listen to 'Honolulu City Lights'-you'll love it," Moffatt was right. Carpenter died not long after that exchange, says Moffatt. "But several years ago, I got a royalty check from A&M Records for the publishing on 'Honolulu City Lights,' and I was like, 'What the hell is this?' Come to find out, Karen had recorded the song and released it in Japan. It became quite popular there."

No one ever said his deathbed, "I'd wish I spent more time interacting with gas pumps." But in the attempt to make those pumps more interactive, more entertaining, and most of all, more profitable, it seems this is exactly what gas stations are trying to do—make every interaction I have with a gas pump longer, slower, more complicated, and more frustrating.
Decades ago, gas pumps pumped gas and nothing else—you'd have to go inside to pay, even if you paid with a card. Then the pay-at-the-pump era began, gas pumps began their slow, steady decline into the monstrosities we see today—obstacles, rather than catalysts, to customer satisfaction.
When I pull up to a gas station on my way in to work, I want one thing and one thing only—a quick refueling. But sometime in the last couple of years, gas stations have decided I want to linger at the gas pump, watch a little TV, and savor the moment, as if they were Starbucks and I didn't have to get to work on time.
Not long ago, I could go from driver's seat to flowing gas in a matter of seconds. Get out, lift the handle, swipe the card, select a grade, and then the enjoy odor of sweet petrochemicals flowing into my tank—all in around 15-20 seconds. But gas pumps have changed. They have color screens. Multiple options. Layers of security. And very, very slow reaction times. Now I'm lucky if I can get the pump to even recognize the fact that I've swiped my card in the first thirty seconds. Then I have to run through the gauntlet of security codes—a necessary evil—discount codes, car wash offers, and so on.
And then there's the Weather Channel. I'm not kidding—this morning, for the first time ever, my local gas station was showing live TV on the gas pump. Because, you know, I want to hang out.
Now, I get the need for security. And I understand the economic need for the car-wash upsell. But each complexity in the transaction adds another delay, in part because the pumps are so slow to respond. And god forbid you hit the wrong button on the touchscreen—the Cancel/Restate cycle takes longer than the act of filling the tank. There's got to be a better way.
A better way?
The essential elements of this transaction are payment, product selection, and receipt option. As for payment, that part legitimately takes the most time up front, so start that first: swipe the card, assume it's credit—or debit, whichever—unless the customer expressly touches the button saying it's not. Input should result in immediate feedback—no spending several seconds wondering if the keypad is malfunctioning. Make it easy to cancel an individual card—ooops, swiped the personal card instead of the business card—instead of the whole transaction. And then, while waiting for payment authorization, multitask.
What to do while waiting for payment authorization
Now is the time to ask about car washes, and discount cards, and any other miscellanea. The pump should even state, "While we're waiting for payment approval, would you like…?" And screen response should be instant—most especially if you're streaming live TV through the pump. What, you can tell me the weather in Peoria, but you can't tell if I pressed the "No receipt" button?
It is painfully obvious that the makes of these pump systems have spent not nearly enough time studying the way people use these pumps, and the way they want to use these pumps. A little, maybe—hence the "No Receipt" option—but nothing in the last several years tells me that anyone is paying attention to what customers want at gas pumps—fast, simple transactions so they can get their gas and get to where they're going.
No Weather Channel required.

Horizontal axis - front loading washing machines
The drum is supported usually by two single row deep groove ball bearings or, when space is a constraining factor, by a Hub Bearing Unit. The drum is overhung in respect to the two support bearings. The out of balance load is predominantly taken by the bearing closest to the drum. Therefore this bearing tends to be larger than that on the pulley side.
SKF single row deep groove ball bearings
The ball bearings commonly used have metal shields and an internal radial clearance dependent on the press-fit required and material of the housing. For high speed washers (over 1 000 rpm) special greases with extreme pressure additives are used to withstand the higher unbalanced loads and vibrations. The bearing closest to the drum is usually protected against water/humidity by a static and dynamic seal. SKF can provide a wide range of static and dynamic seals. Special seals can be manufactured on the basis of design requirements.
SKF Application Specialists will be pleased to offer the right solution for your application needs.
SKF Drum Support Units front loading
The patented unit developed by SKF integrates the cast iron hub, the 2 supporting bearings, the garter seal
Spider arm
In every front loading horizontal axis washing machine with stainless steel tank there is a Spider arm
Hub bearing units
SKF has developed integrated units to support the drum with several advantages
Garter seal
Garter seal is obtained in low friction material
Magnetized bearing seal
Low cost for an integrated solution respect the standard axial and radial dimension of a standard bearing
Garter seal with integrated labyrinth
Garter seal with integrated labyrinth used instead of the traditionally seal plus rubber flat for static sealing
PTFE axial seal for water pump
Axial seal in PTFE material, gives the possibilities to reduce the number of components
SKF Special ICOS for washing machine
The need for compactness and system integration was the base for the design of ICOS
Small single row deep groove ball bearings
Single row deep groove ball bearings are particularly versatile
Rubber axial seal for drum
Axial seal in rubber material, gives the possibilities to reduce the number of components
Rubber axial seal for water pump
Axial seal in water material gives the possibilities to reduce the number of components

The Architect Lyrics
Like a father to a son, all that's mine is always yours. The stars of heaven mourn for what's to come. I hear a lover's song inviting me away. I know the first heart that breaks is not mine but yours. I know now all things must pass but oh the cost. My hands have built the cross. How can I ask to know what forgiveness is while my hands are still tied with guilt and the filth of mistrust? How can I ever look into your eyes when my hands will nail you down? How can I ask to know what forgiveness is when it's my hands that built the cross? How can I account for this? How can I just walk away? There's a flame that still lights the gate.

Sub Pop At the Katowice, Poland OFF Festival!
Sub Pop is very pleased to announce our involvement with this year's OFF Festival, to be held August 1st-3rd in Katowice, Poland. Now in its 8th year, the lineup features the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Neutral Milk Hotel, Deafheaven, Glenn Branca, Fuck Buttons, Loop, Earth, Dean Wareham, Dirty Beaches, Chelsea Wolfe, Perfume Genius, Perfect Pussy and more to be announced.
On Friday, August 1st Sub Pop will curate the Experimental Stage, with a lineup that includes artists from the labels roster, past and present, our sister label Hardly Art, and a few Polish bands. Artists performing include: Wolf Eyes, Rose Windows, clipping., Lyla Foy, Protomartyr, Kaseciarz (Krakow, PL) and Wild Books (Warszawa, PL).
Please find additional information about each of the performers below.
Wolf Eyes
"Choking Flys" (From No Answer - Lower Floors / Destijl)
Some say Rock N Roll will never reach the same primitive raw vein hit of Bo Diddley at his more subhuman lurch, or that no unit could ever scramble the marbles left of what brain-boiling suburban electronic punk outsiders did in the mid-'70s: Whatever you think, there is no denying the homemade nuclear war Wolf Eyes has declared on music. Wolf Eyes was birthed in the shadows of late-'90s Michigan. However, Wolf Eyes has grown beyond a band into a collective mutant ensemble, an art abstraction unit: musicians, print makers, photographers and more, all sharing a primal vision of decoding the wilderness of the humanoid soul using their deep audio arsenals.
"Work Work" feat. Cocc Pistol Cree (From CLPPNG / Sub Pop)
Before the release of clipping.'s debut, 2013's Midcity, the trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson did not expect to find an audience for their abrasive brand of rap music. But since the formation of clipping. and the release of their debut album, the field of commercial music enlarged ever so slightly, making room again for noisier, more adventurous elements in electronic production. Examples of this have been incremental, mere baby steps, so far. And despite clipping.'s insistence that they're really just making rap— not noise-rap, industrial-rap, or any other mashup genre— their music might be more sonically challenging than that of the punkish rap rockers, lo-fi bedroom producers, and street goth hybridist's they've been lumped with so far. The band will release their Sub Pop debut, CLPPNG, this June.
Lyla Foy
"Feather Tongue" (From Mirrors the Sky / Sub Pop)
Lyla Foy (formerly known as WALL) released Mirrors the Sky, her Sub Pop debut in March. The London singer and producer specializes in intimate vocals effortlessly intertwined with delicate, emotive instrumentation. The production is an integral part of her writing process, capturing not only the intended notes but also the incidental and accidental sounds that bring the recordings to life and provide endless intrigue. While the patter of keyboards, guitars and pulsing bass lines create a beguiling backdrop, it's Foy's sense of melody and turn of phrase that takes centre stage. Subtle nods to classic refrains, mingled with her own inflection, suggest a writer who draws from many different eras, resulting in a sound that is both timeless yet modern.
"Scum Rise" (from Under Color of Official Right / Hardly Art)
Protomartyr's taut, austere rock was incubated in a freezing Detroit warehouse littered with beer cans and cigarette butts and warmed, feebly, by space heaters. Despite the cold, Protomartyr emerged with a sound that is idiosyncratic but relatable, hooky but off-kilter. Protomartyr's economical rock elicits comparisons to possible antecedents like Pere Ubu or The Fall as well as local contemporaries like Frustrations or Tyvek (whose frontman Kevin Boyer played bass in an early iteration of Protomartyr). Singer Joe Casey's dry declarative snarl serves as a reliable anchor, granting his bandmates — guitarist Greg Ahee, drummer Alex Leonard and bassist Scott Davidson — the opportunity to explore textures and reinforce the rhythm section. This is never more apparent than on the band's sophomore LP and Hardly Art debut, Under Color of Official Right.
Rose Windows
"Heavenly Days" (From The Sun Dogs / Sub Pop)
Rose Windows began in late 2010 in Seattle. On their debut album, The Sun Dogs, the band incorporates elements of The Band, The Doors' organ-driven psychedelia, and Black Sabbath's dirges, along with Persian, Indian, and Eastern European music. Rose Windows have toured the West Coast several times, fluidly sharing the stage with underground art-metal bands one night and popular indie Americana acts the next. The Sun Dogs was recorded and produced by Randall Dunn (SunnO))), Boris, Earth) at Avast! in Seattle.
Wild Books
"Oranges & Lemons" (from Wild Books / Instant Classic)
Who said you could only play rootsy, dirty, sunburned rock in Texas or Tennessee? The duo Wild Books proves that you set out from a Polish garage to follow in the footsteps of Jack White and The Black Keys. Wild Books' self-titled 2014 debut record showcases retro-rock in its whole ass-kicking glory.
"Dance" (from Motörcycle Rock and Roll / Instant Classic)
Three years ago, this guy proved you could be a surfer in southern Poland. This year he's back with Motörcycle Rock and Roll, a mix of psychedelia, garage, and surf, or as he likes to call it, "garbage rock." Fortunately the sound quality is inversely proportional to its aesthetic value. Maciej Nowacki's music will blow your socks off, even though he himself admits that the only reason he got into music in the first place was to prove he was in the arts at parties.

Don't call them the Dream Team yet, but the Eagles have landed their first major outside acquisition of the offseason.
Middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans is headed to Philadelphia from Houston for a 2012 fourth-round draft pick and a swap of third-round choices.
It's a home run for the Eagles. They badly needed a middle linebacker; Ryans is a natural 4-3 man in the middle. He stops the run and calls the plays. The Eagles needed leadership at a position where their young players struggled in 2011.
Jamar Chaney now can move to the outside. Combined with promising second-year pro Brian Rolle, the Eagles have a chance to turn a weakness into a team strength.
So why would the Texans want to give up a 27-year-old, two-time Pro Bowl pick and Defensive Rookie of the Year?
Ryans suffered a torn Achilles in 2010 and initially was slow to recover last year. He also didn't fit as naturally into Wade Phillips' 3-4 defense, although Ryans played quite well at the end of the season.
The Texans traded Ryans because they could afford to do it. He's due $5.9 million in 2012, and that number goes up in future years. Houston wants to free up money to sign some of its other young players long term. The team also has a young in-house candidate to replace Ryans in Daryl Sharpton.
We've seen this trade described as a win-win by a few sources. Make no mistake: The Eagles won more.

Keep Castro and get rid of Dunn.....

Keep Castro and get rid of Dunn.....
Kill me now.
The question is if Castro is put at SS and $5M saved on Gonzo would that money be put to better use elsewhere? The one difference in Gonzo vs Castro is that Gonzo is younger and has decidedly more pop.

Salaries are skyrocketing. An assured good glove (with EBH power) for 3 years at 5MM seems smart to me. I don't think I want WK chasing shortstops every year.
Who knows, maybe he then packages Dunn, Gonzalez and Freel to the Os for Tejada and a pitcher...

Finding a better hitting, decent glove at 2B (and shifting Phillips to SS) is a better option then this rumored deal.Indians: In light of a so-so season from shortstop Jhonny Peralta, the Indians are looking for protection up the middle and the Plain Dealer reported that the club has talked with Alex Gonzalez and Craig Counsell. But a couple of sticking points: Gonzalez wants a four-year deal and Counsell wants a full-time job. GM Mark Shapiro told the paper the Indians might have to make a trade to find a suitable backup for Peralta.
What does everyone think about Craig Counsell? From the above article this guy is just asking for an everyday job, is he considered an everyday player at this point? And if that's what he's asking for he would likely be a shorter term and cheaper player than Gonzales. Lord knows he's got a reputation for an outstanding situational hitter which makes him an excellent choice for a #2hitter which we badly need, except his splits suggest he doesn't hit LHP at all. Could he platoon at 2B with Freel and then Freel could play the OF vs. RHP. He might be worth a look see. At any rate I'm not sure he could play SS any more effectively than Castro at this point but he would likely want to play SS.

Alex Gonzalez is an unbelievable fielder, but he'll leave you shaking your head alot at the plate. Sometimes in a good way!

It could be worse, he could be waiting for the Nats to release ex-Twin Guzman.

When it comes to luxury sports sedans, style and performance typically come at a high price.
Thankfully, Kia bucks that trend with their brand new 2014 Cadenza, a head-turning four-door that effortlessly blends elegance with high performance, all at a price point that won't break the bank. For the Korean car manufacturer's first foray into the luxury market, designers opted for a sleek, "tiger nose" front end, elongated hood and smoothly curved roof. The result? Luxury-inspired lines usually found on imported vehicles costing twice as much.
But let's not be superficial. Because just like your mother told you, it's what's inside that counts. And the Kia Cadenza's luxury appointed interior does not disappoint. From the leather upholstery to state-of-the-art technology like UVO--a Microsoft-powered system that allows you to navigate phone and audio controls with the sound of your own voice--you'll be cruising comfortably. Add 6-speed panel shifters (just like a Formula-1 car), advanced cruise control (capable of stopping the vehicle even when you are not) and integrated blind spot detection, and you'll be as secure as you are stylish.
Under the hood specs are equally impressive. The 293 horsepower V-6 engine packs a punch, while the 19-inch alloy wheels and wide wheel base hug the pavement no matter how circuitous the road.
Can't wait to check out the Cadenza for yourself? Then swing by the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place between Feb 9 -- 18 to preview 2014's most exciting sports sedan in person.

A bill, previously passed by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is up for floor action this week. The American Farm Bureau Federation has joined a coalition of 121 organization in urging support for the Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act, a bipartisan bill that restores the balance between the states and the Environmental Protection Agency in regard to regulating the nation's waters. The group told House leaders in a letter, the bill would reaffirm the decades-old, state-federal relationship set out in the Clean Water Act by addressing the EPA's ongoing regulatory overreach.
The groups say H.R. 2018 has important job creation, economic security and federalism implications, adding that over the years, EPA has repeatedly challenged states' authority and expertise under the Clean Water Act. Further, the groups noted that EPA has asserted its control as the sole arbiter of evolving CWA permitting requirements and standards, jeopardizing more than $220 billion dollars of annual economic activity.
AFBF is also urging members of the Senate to support a bipartisan bill that would continue America's transition to home-grown biofuels. In a letter, AFBF President Bob Stallman called for passage of S. 1185, the Ethanol Reform and Deficit Reduction Act, sponsored by Senators John Thune, R-S.D., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. The bill would end the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit on July 31.
"One-third of the savings resulting from this change would be used toward providing tax credits for cellulosic biofuel production and building blender pumps," Stallman wrote. "Efforts that should result in better security for our nation and lower prices at the pump for consumers. Farm Bureau believes that our nation should be focused on energy independence."
Stallman stressed that clean, renewable, domestic energy will help America achieve long-term economic growth, create a cleaner environment and shield our economy from unreliable foreign energy sources.

Schroders Investment Weather Forecast: Global bonds continue to find support
Gareth Isaac discusses why the outlook for global bonds rests on central bank monetary policy and which areas of the market could come under pressure in the coming months.
Global bonds braced for Fed lift off
The outlook for the global bond markets remains constructive in the near-term.
Although interest rates are likely to rise in the US at some point this year, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will only move gradually, and rates will then likely rise to levels seen in previous tightening cycles.
The reason that they can be so measured, despite a marked improvement in the outlook for the US economy, is that inflation remains very low by historical standards, and we expect inflationary pressures to remain benign for the foreseeable future.
Elsewhere in the world, interest rates in major economies are likely to remain on hold, which will support bond prices.
The market will also be supported by unconventional central bank measures such as quantitative easing.
The European Central Bank has begun a long-term bond purchase programme, as has Japan, and these measures will keep downward pressure on bond yields.
US monetary policy
A major concern is that the Fed, in its desire to be slow and gradual, will leave monetary policy too loose and medium-term inflationary pressures will build.
US unemployment has fallen sharply over recent years, and we're starting to see the signs of improving wage growth.
Increases in real wages will drive consumption and may push up inflation once the base effects from the commodity decline pass through.
Monetary policy works with a lag, and if the Fed waits until it sees signs of inflationary pressures building, it may need to hike more aggressively than the market expects, causing some adverse market movements.
Another concern is that debt levels among European countries have risen to unsustainable levels.
Much has been commented on Greece, but many other countries have debt levels that are too high, and when the next crisis or recession arises, then sustainability of those countries will be called into question.

It seemed like the Beaver Beavers had barely stepped off the bus in Blanding before they were up 6-0 with just under seven minutes left in the first quarter.
San Juan's defense stepped up and turned their guests away on their next possession but a muffed punt returned the ball to the visiting Beavers, who scored shortly afterwards on a halfback pass. The rest of the half was all Beaver as they extended their lead to 25-0.
In the second half, both defenses took center stage as the offenses struggled to sustain a significant drive. The Beavers managed to break the cycle and add another touchdown to their score early in the fourth when they scored again on their third half back pass of the night.
San Juan finally got on the board about midway through the fourth quarter when sophomore quarterback Payton Palmer hooked up on a 65-yard pass with freshman receiver Nate Nielson. Kasper Pedersen hit the PAT to bring the score to 32-7.
The Broncos missed a couple of other opportunities to cut into the Beaver's lead when they missed a 42-yard field goal attempt and dropped a pass in the end zone.
In spite of the lopsided score, the Bronco defense played well for most of the game. A few mental errors led to big plays for the Beavers, which led to 25 of their 32 points.
San Juan's offense also had some solid performances. The Broncos totaled 105 yards rushing, led by Jens Grover's 58 yards. Max Morley added 11 yards, while Grant Laws and Terrace Tate chipped in 13 and 21 yards, respectively. Palmer and Tate combined to throw for another 94 yards through the air with one touchdown and no interceptions.
Trason Jack led San Juan's defensive effort, tallying 17 tackles. Grover was right behind with 13 stops. Brayden Giddings had 11, while Holden Smith and Sterling Black each logged 10 tackles. Hayden Brown pitched in nine tackles just ahead of Laws and Payton Palmer who had six.
Jordan Blake had four tackles and Chase Palmer and Brittain Bowring each had three tackles. Palmer also had a sack. DiQuan Lopez and Jonathon Lewis had two tackles each and Kesian Barton had one.
The Broncos take on the Enterprise Wolves on the road. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

|Protesters Encircle Morsi Palace
|[An Nahar] Thousands of protesters broke through a barbed-wire perimeter protecting the Cairo palace of President Mohamed Morsi on Friday, as his vice-president hinted at a possible compromise aimed at calming the seething crisis dividing Egypt.
A cordon of soldiers prevented the crowd from nearing the palace's main gate, but elsewhere protesters sprayed graffiti on the outside walls saying "Leave, Morsi" and "Down with the Moslem Brüderbund," the movement from which Morsi hails, Agence La Belle France Presse correspondents at the scene said.
There was no visible violence. But tensions were high after bloody festivities at the same spot on Wednesday between supporters and opponents of Morsi left seven people dead and more than 600 injured.
Several army tanks were stationed in the square and nearby but made no movement against the protesters, some of whom clambered atop them to declare the army was "hand in hand" with them.
That was reminiscent of the popular uprising that ousted long-time president Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
early last year, when tanks stood idle amid massive protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square, as protesters mixed with soldiers.
The crowd also shouted "We want to see the fall of the regime" -- a slogan common during the anti-Mubarak revolt.
The increasingly strident calls for Morsi to step down followed an address on Thursday in which the president dismissed demands he give up sweeping new powers he decreed for himself two weeks ago and postpone a December 15 referendum on a constitution drafted by a panel of Islamist allies.
Late Friday, however, Egypt's vice-president, Mahmoud Mekki, told AFP that Morsi "could accept to delay the referendum" on the draft constitution but only if the opposition guaranteed it would launch no legal challenge to the decision.
Under Egyptian law, a president is compelled to hold a referendum two weeks after formally being delivered its text.
Mekki's suggestion implied Morsi might be seeking a way to de-escalate the crisis.
On Thursday, Morsi had offered to hold talks with the opposition, but the main opposition bloc, the National Salvation Front, rebuffed the offer, accusing Morsi of "dividing Egyptians between his 'supporters of legitimacy'... and his opponents."
The opposition sees Morsi's decree as a brazen power grab, and the draft constitution as an attempt to quash Egypt's secular underpinnings in favor of Islamic aspirations.
Demonstrators on Cairo's streets said they were determined to stop Morsi.
"Before the violence, I just wanted Morsi to repeal his decree and cancel the referendum. But now that blood has been spilt, he has to go," said Sahar al-Shazli, 27, a veil covering her face.
"Morsi won't back down and neither will we," said Sharif Qasem, a demonstrator outside the palace. "Those who are steadfast the longest will win."
But determination flashed just as brightly among those backing the president.
Late Friday, police fired tear gas at hundreds of Islamist protesters, mostly hardline Salafists
...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them...
, who tried storming the Cairo studios of private Egyptian television channels critical of Morsi's supporters.
Prominent Salafist leader Hazim Abu Ismail had called for the demonstrations on his Twitter and Facebook accounts in order to "cleanse the media" of reporting they see as biased against the Islamists' cause.
At a Cairo funeral on Friday for several of the seven people killed this week and said to be Moslem Brüderbund members, Morsi supporters dismissed the public protests against the president.
"All the people are with us, with the (draft) constitution," said one Brotherhood supporter attending the service in the Al-Azhar mosque.
That unquestioning backing was not shared by Egypt's top Islamic body, which on Thursday called on Morsi to suspend the decree.
The United States and European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
have called for dialogue to resolve the crisis.
And on Friday, U.N. human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal
chief Navi Pillay criticized the draft constitution and "the way the process has been short-circuited," saying "people are right to be very concerned."
She highlighted the proposed charter's perceived weaknesses in upholding human rights and gender equality, the primacy of Islamic sharia law in the text and its potential to give the president "excessive power" over the judiciary.

Yet another reason to never leave home without your toothbrush. As Gina Sunseri of ABC reports:
A $100 billion space station saved by a simple $3 toothbrush? It was the brainstorm of astronauts Sunita Williams and Akihido Hoshide and NASA engineers on the ground: a tool to clean a bolt that gave them so much trouble during a marathon 8-hour spacewalk last week.
They were trying to replace an electrical switching unit, but on Thursday they couldn't bolt it to the outside of the station.
What to do if there is no hardware store in the neighborhood and the next supply ship is months away? Build it yourself — so they attached a simple toothbrush to a metal pole and voila! They were able to clean out the bolt's socket today and finish the job. Shades of Apollo 13 — when engineers threw parts on a table and brainstormed a solution, which saved the crew.
