Updated through 9/18/14 - 9 games left for Cubs.
For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in next year's draft on top of their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

The Cubs have sent RHP Casey Weathers outright to AAA Iowa.
Alfonso Soriano homered twice and Brett Jackson whacked a three-run home run, leading the Cubs to an 11-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Cactus League action at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in warm, sunny, and windy (sometimes VERY windy) Mesa, AZ, this afternoon.
The Cubs have optioned Tyler Colvin and Marcus Mateo to Triple A and called up lefty Scott Maine and speedster Tony Campana.
Maine was sporting a 2.84 ERA in Iowa, striking out 21 in 19 IP, while walking just 8. Hard to imagine he'll be any worse than what he is replacing.
Campana was sporting a good luck line of 342/383/442 in Iowa earning his promotion. I wish him well, but he'll be hard pressed to find enogh playing time and such good luck in the majors(.423 BABIP in Iowa this season). He does bring speed with him, being successful in 8 of 9 stolen base attempts this year and 144/186 for his minor league career (77.2%). Of course, Yadier Molina wasn't playing in those leagues during the same time, so he probably won't see that success translate either.
Colvin did need to start getting some regular at-bats, although it's hard to figure out why he can't get them over Fukudome, Byrd or Soriano. For a team that already hits plenty of singles without walking much and in desperate need of some power, Colvin seemed closer to a cure than Campana, but neither will be effective without regular use.
It's also of note, as mentioned in the comments, that the Cubs are about to begin interleague play at American League parks starting off at Boston this Friday. Barring injury, Colvin cannot be recalled now for 10 days, leaving the Cubs DH options Reed Johnson, Castillo, DeWitt, Campana and Baker or more likely one of those play the field while the likes of Ramirez, Soriano and so forth get a defensive rest day. It's foresight like that keeps a century-plus losing streak alive.
Anyway, the appropriate deck chairs have been moved on this Titanic. May the disaster continue...
It's your first start of the season, chance to impress the manager and the fans...Cubs need a pick-me up. Tommy Hanson, ace-in-training on the mound just struck out the side in the first. He unleashes a 95 mph fastball down the middle of the plate, might be the best pitch you see the entire at-bat. You calmly let it go for strike one. Bravo. Make him think you know something. Next pitch is another fastball but Hanson misses well inside. 1-1 now, and Hanson mixes it up with a slider but it's outside. A hitter's count and you know the fastball is probably coming. The catcher sets up away and Hanson rears back and fires. He misses his target...badly, ball is right in the lefty sweet spot down and low. You bring the hands in, uncoil the swing and *crack*, you know you hit it good. You're a rookie though, put your head down and start running. A muffled cheer and the ump twirls his finger, time to break out the home run trot but don't show up anybody or you'll get one in the ear next time.
Jesus Heyward ain't got nothing on you Tyler Colvin...well other than probably having a much better major league career. As for rookie theatrics, you're neck and neck.
Ryan Theriot had three hits, and Marlon Byrd, Mike Fontenot, and Jeff Baker mashed home runs, leading the Cubs to an 8-1 victory over Dusty Baker's Cincinnati Reds at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park under mostly cloudy skies in warm Mesa, AZ.
Tyler Colvin went 4-5 with two singles, an RBI triple, and a solo home run, but it wasn't enough, as the Cubs and the San Diego Padres played to a 2-2 tie in front of a Cactus League record crowd of 13,462 at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park this afternoon in sunny Mesa, AZ.
Derrek Lee crushed a two-run double, Aramis Ramirez and Tyler Colvin had two hits a piece (and Colvin also stole a base and scored two runs), and Ryan Dempster threw five innings of shutout ball before tiring in the 6th, as the Cubs and Royals played to a 5-5 tie in Cactus League action at Surprise Stadium this afternoon.
Bryan Lahair cranked a three-run homer to tie the game and then later doubled and scored, leading the Cubs to an 11-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in Cactus League action at sunnny and warm Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa this afternoon, in what was the first-ever appearance by the Reds at HoHoKam Park. (The Reds relocated their Spring Training camp from Sarasota, FL to Goodyear, AZ this year).
Brad Snyder crushed a game-winning two-run double off the CF Batter's Eye in the bottom of the 9th, scoring Bobby Scales from second base with the tying run and Sam Fuld from first with the winning run, as the Cubs edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7 in Cactus League action in front of 11,775 fans under sunny skies (65 degrees) at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa this afternoon.
Tyler Colvin went 3-3 with two doubles and a solo HR, Derrek Lee and Marlon Byrd singled and homered, Sam Fuld blasted a two-run home run, Brad Snyder ripped a 450+ foot solo HR, Kosuke Fukudome doubled and singled, Starlin Castro tripled, and five Cubs pitchers combined to throw a three-hitter, as the Cubs drubbed the Oakland A's 9-3 in front of 7,496 fans at the 2010 Cubs Cactus League Opener at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in sunny & breezy Mesa this afternoon.
box score
Here are my "2010 Cubs Top 15 Prospects."
If there's anything good about this Milton Bradley suspension other than not having to read about the last idiotic thing Milton said, is that the Cubs are calling up Tyler Colvin. Well it would be good if Lou Piniella wasn't managing, because then he would just play Sam Fuld, Jake Fox or Micah Hoffpauir and Tyler Colvin the rest of the season with a few at-bats for Kosuke Fukudome sprinkled in, but instead I imagine it'll be more Scales, Fuld and Fukudome than anything else and that makes me want to throw a brick at the TV screen. And let's say I wouldn't be all to upset if that brick magically traveled through that TV screen and knocked some sense back into Lou.
For those that might have missed the former #1 picks career arc, he was a suprise first round pick at #13 in 2006. There were reports later that some teams were thinking about taking him later in the first round, so there's no way he would have lasted to the Cubs next pick in the 5th round and then the Cubs picked up a first round talent in Jeff Samardzija who slipped because of his football committment at the time. Then the Cubs ruined it all by giving Samardzija a major league contract but that's for another time.
Colvin then had some decent seasons in Boise and Daytona in 2006 and 2007 but struggled badly in 2008 in Double A. Ended up that he had a bum elbow and went under the knife for Tommy John Surgery at the end of last year after trying to play in the Arizona Fall League. He was ready by the start of this year, but just in DH capacity and started the year off in Daytona. Once the Cubs felt he was healed up, they brought him back to Tennessee for his second tour and in half a season he put up a .859 OPS in what is normally considered a pitcher's league with 35 XBH's and earned Southern League player of the week twice in August. He still strikes out at a Mark Reynolds rate with no walks or patience to offset that, so let's just say I'm not on the edge of my seat, but I'd like to see the kid get plenty of opportunties to play the rest of the way.
You may have come across the news that Tyler Colvin had left the Arizona Fall League due to an elbow injury. Supposedly it was something that was troubling him for much of the 2008 season and according to our pals at Inside the Ivy, Colvin did undergo Tommy John Surgery on Sunday. The procedure has become rather common place these days and Colvin should be back for a good portion of the 2009 season although it's likely he'll start out in extended spring training in Arizona before being assigned to a minor league affiliate.
That does take him off as a potential trading chip this offseason, although his .736 OPS in AA probably already took care of that.
Tentative rosters for the 2008 Arizona Fall League (AFL) were announced yesterday (they are incomplete and also subject to change), and six of the seven Cubs prospects who will be playing for the Mesa Solar Sox this fall have been named:
They should play Oakland in the devastation bowl where the winner gets to wear '69 Cubs hats all winter ...
Epic choke job by Milwaukee tonight. 4.5 back in the Wild Card with 8 to go.
It's hard not to be excited about the lineup of the future:
Olt (CF), Olt (2B), Olt (SS), Olt (3B), Olt (1B), Olt (RF), Olt (LF), Olt (C), Olt (P)
You should try the new Sony beta machines. I heard they are grabbing all the market share.
ROB G: Does Villenueva have any interest from a contender?
What do you think?
That's cringe worthy!
Hendricks, Ramirez, Grimm, Olt, Edwards and Christian Villanueva for Dempster and Garza. Sucks to be you, Texas.
"E-Jax: "It may seem farfetched, (but) I still think my best years are to come, and I really don't care what anyone else thinks."
This is probably true. With that nice fat contract, he is going to have a lovely retirement.
I like that post. It's a keeper.
Great post.
8/250-300 ... wow. With the kind of numbers these guys are heading towards, you might as well give them a stake in ownership. These kinds of economies just don't scale. Something's gotta give.
This makes sense, I hope you're right. I would only add that all most of us were asking for was that he had something like a straight 8 weeks of play. And as O&B pointed out you may find that he never had a straight 8 *days* of playing.
he was born too soon...shame.
Lou Piniella's stroll out of the dugout would have been tailor made for the replay delay game.
This was Epstein on Baez last month, but I don't know why it wouldn't also apply to Olt.
"We all know it can be very difficult to make in-season adjustments as a big leaguer," Epstein said, citing struggles by Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo last year. "This timing allows Javy to go play for eight weeks, and then take a deep breath this winter. He can take a fresh look at his performance in the big leagues and take it all in and start to make any adjustments if necessary."

The United States is home to a gigantic socialist sector, larger and with a greater reach than any in the world, and it is fed by tax dollars and managed entirely by the government. Strangely, the opponents of socialized medicine and socialized industry don't complain about it. In fact, all throughout the 1980s and 1990s, they urged its expansion.
It is called the prison system. It's a fairly new system, but the cruelties of similar systems are so famed throughout history that they are spoken of by the Psalmist: "For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners."
The presumption in the Psalms is that prisoners are despised, ignored, forgotten, dismissed — and they are in our country, where this topic is not even on the list in the mainstream debate.
It's stunning when you think about it. The "land of the free" is home to the world's largest prison population. Americans constitute 5% of the world's population, yet one-quarter of the entire world's inmates are in the U.S. The ratio of the prison population to the general population is higher in than any other nation in the world. Russia is second. China is third.
If the jailed lived in one place, the 2.3 million would be the fourth largest American city, between Chicago and Houston. Every day, 35,948 people are newly incarcerated (source), and the only people who even bother to talk about it are considered to be on the fringe left, crazy people who can't stop pleading for special interests.
Maybe we have more criminals who need to be locked up? It depends on how you define a criminal. Some two-thirds of people mired in the justice system (prison, probation, parole) are in for nonviolent offenses. Among federal prisoners, 91% are in for nonviolent crimes. No dictator in the world gets away with this.
And while the prison system as we know it came into existence in the early part of the 20th century, the trend toward mass imprisonment is relatively new. The numbers in prison are five times higher than in 1980, when the war on drugs really became a nationwide mania and sentencing became long and mandatory. Nearly the whole of the change is accounted for by these two facts alone. In 1980, 40,000 people were in the slammer for drug-related charges. Today, it is closer to half a million.
The statistics are not unknown. They have never been more accessible. But people hear these statistics and think: "Well, that seems like a lot of people, but hey, I'm not there and my friends and family aren't there. Regardless, we are probably better off with too many people in jail, rather than too few. At least the streets are a bit safer than they otherwise might be. So let's just forget about it, shall we?"
But it turns out to be very easy these days to trip over that wire that causes you to land in jail. The trouble is that you don't know that until it happens. It could be a mistake that you or a family member made in handling too much cash. It could be a joint that someone smoked at your house party. It could be an unpaid ticket. It could be a tweet you sent that insulted a bureaucrat.
It could be the wrong download, upload or file-sharing act. Or maybe you lost your temper at the airport and said something you shouldn't in the presence of a TSA agent. Maybe you acted on a stock tip that was slightly too revealing. Even the wrong glance at a cop could cause your life to unravel.
Any of these actions and thousands of others can cause you to become embroiled in a system you cannot control and cannot resist. You spend the night in jail. You are bailed, but there are endless legal battles ahead to get out of the thicket.
Your life suddenly becomes about keeping your freedom. You pay lawyers. You lose time from work going to hearings. You lose sleep with worry and have to take pills you never thought you would. Your finances are crushed. You can hardly think about anything else. This goes on for months and you are pretty much a wreck.
The whole thing seems crazy and preposterous. Why is the state focusing on you, rather than on real criminals? You are an easier and safer target. Plus, you broke the law. It is a dumb law and it is understandable that you broke it — and you would never do it again, even though many others who have done the same are out free — but you finally have to admit it: You are more guilty than innocent.
It comes time to plea-bargain. Your lawyers make a deal with the system. If you admit guilt, you will be let off. The sentence of 20 years, or whatever it happens to be, will likely be suspended. You agree to the deal, anything to bring an end to this hell. But something goes wrong. The judge sentences you anyway. Wait, this isn't the way it is supposed to turn out! But now there is nothing you can do.
Then you find that the prison system is the crystallization of life under government control. Your Facebook, Twitter, email, phone number are all zapped. Freedoms of association, speech and press are entirely absent. Human rights don't apply. The choices you can make about how to spend your time are allocated to you by wardens and at their discretion. Your person and labor are valued by no one in particular. Everything you consume — whether it is food or space — your masters regard as a favor granted.
Everyone who cares about you is outside the prison. The people on the inside do not care whether you live or die. And to your amazement and shock, you find that the prison is not filled with violent thugs, thieves and murderers. Most everyone is pretty much like you. They are people, real people with families and friends and lives, who were stopped by a cop and had forgotten to take the marijuana out of the glove box. They are people who exploded in a temporary rage at a bureaucrat. They are people who downloaded and shared the wrong files.
You discover an entire world behind walls, thousands of people just like you, and nearly all of them could be out living productive lives, caring for their families, contributing to life in their communities, living out their dreams on the outside. But here they are in this government institution — like millions of others in our time and throughout history — wasting away their lives in the name of some claim of "justice" that clearly does not exist.
The experience is enlightening and amazing. Prisoners are not who you thought they were. You want to get the news to everyone on the outside. You want to reveal this scandal to the world.
What do you say? The slogans that created this system — "the war on drugs," "get tough on crime," "zero tolerance," "mandatory sentencing" — are about politics, not justice or humanitarianism, and they have nothing to do with the reality you see. It is a cruel system, completely out of control, and one with an immense human cost.
The prison system is a massive human rights violation. It has to be stopped.
But there's a big problem: You can't speak. You can't act. You now know the truth, but now you also know that there is nothing you can do about it. And you also know that everyone on the outside pretty much thinks exactly how you used to think. They do not care.

Let's face it… americans are the dumbest, evillest, most amoral people on the face of the earth. I'm just going by the government they ALLOW to "represent" them. That's why they have the biggest penal population; stupid criminals get caught, and run through the rock-crusher system. For as much evil… killing, looting, torture, poisoning, well, the list goes on and on. For all this to be done in each and everyone of their names without some kind of real, violent – if it needs be, protest, then what exactly do they stand for???
In the minds of most of the world, perhaps it would be better if MORE americans were imprisoned, not able to leave the country, and separated from their families forever. Perhaps it would make them begin to think about what is really going on.
Really, if you didn't stand up YESTERDAY, you're absolutely stupid, and it's too late. Look at the beast that stands on you now…. yesterday all it took was saying "no." Today, it will take the blood of generations of not yet born children. Good luck!
What???? The prison industrial complex, which has been at the forefront of imprisoning African American activists on the fabricated War on Drugs has been severely criticized by those, like me, who advocate government paid medicine. Which all our modern partner countries from Canada to Japan Germany, Britain, France have. US health care system is the worst per dollar of any system in the world. Only if you have money are you sure to get good treatment. In' Socialist' Norway, education to the Ph D level is free if you qualify with good grades. The reason why the US is going down, is because newsletter writers keep telling the people that predatory capitalism is the best and only workable system And your subscribers eat that Sh8t up.

COMING BACK: Indicted Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is planning to launch a replacement of his shuttered website and a new online music service.
News Summary: Megaupload founder plans site reboot
DETAILS: Dotcom says his planned music service will enable users to download music for free in exchange for accepting some advertisements. He says 90 percent of the revenue will go to the artists. Still, the move is bound to provoke U.S. prosecutors and entertainment executives.
THE BACKDROP: The file-sharing site that Dotcom started in 2005 was one of the most popular online sites before U.S. prosecutors shut it down and filed racketeering charges against Dotcom and others.

House Republican lawmakers said retired Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner raised the possibility of auditing Sen. Charles Grassley (R., Iowa), a senior lawmaker and former chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, over a group's offer to pay his wife in connection with a speaking engagement.
"While the Ways and Means Committee investigation into Lerner's involvement in the potential Grassley examination is ongoing, documents show that Lerner received an invitation to a speaking event that was intended for Senator Grassley," House Ways and Means Committee Republicans said in a release. Instead of forwarding the invitation to Mr. Grassley's office, the lawmakers said, Ms. Lerner suggested to others in her office that the issue should be referred for examination.
A 2012 email from Ms. Lerner reads, "Looked like they were inappropriately offering to pay for his wife. Perhaps we should refer to Exam," referring to the IRS office that conducts audits.
The email was obtained as part of lawmakers' continuing probe into the IRS's loss of email records of Ms. Lerner, a retired IRS official who's at the center of a controversy over the agency's treatment of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
Another IRS official says in response: "Not sure we should send to exam. I think the offer to pay for Grassley's wife is income to Grassley, and not prohibited on its face" because Mr. Grassley was not an officer or director of the organization. The Ways and Means release doesn't identify the group in question, because of taxpayer confidentiality rules.
The other official goes on to say that the agency would need to wait to see whether Mr. Grassley attended the speaking engagement and how he handled the payment.
Ms. Lerner also had been invited to the event, and her invitation had been sent to Mr. Grassley, according to the email chain. She wrote, "Don't think I want to be on stage with Grassley on this issue." It's not clear from the e-mails what issue she's referring to.
The committee said it was able to obtain access to emails identifying individual taxpayers through its special authority under the tax code to review confidential taxpayer matters. Sen. Grassley and his wife signed a waiver to make the information public, House lawmakers said.
Asked for a response to the committee's allegations, a lawyer for Ms. Lerner didn't comment. "News to me," said lawyer William Taylor III.
The committee alleges the effort was part of a broader attempt at "targeting of conservative individuals."
"We have seen a lot of unbelievable things in this investigation, but the fact that Lois Lerner attempted to initiate an apparently baseless IRS examination against a sitting Republican United States senator is shocking," Rep. Dave Camp (R., Mich.) said in a written statement. "At every turn, Lerner was using the IRS as a tool for political purposes in defiance of taxpayer rights. We may never know the full extent of the abuse since the IRS conveniently lost two years of Lerner emails, not to mention those of other key figures in this scandal."
Mr. Camp also criticized the Justice Department for refusing to investigate or appoint a special counsel. The department has said that its investigation is active and ongoing.
Mr. Grassley has been a sometime critic of the IRS and its bureaucracy. For example, he's criticized bonuses paid to union workers at the agency. He also has been an advocate for encouraging tax whistleblowers, an effort that he says the agency has sometimes been slow to embrace.

How do I trade in gems for coins or chips? I've been doing the Christmas bingo but it doesn't give you the option at the end of a game to trade in gems won, and I can't find it on shop either. Help?
Answer from: Tinchen
Hi Danielle, when you have bingo bash open, in the upper right hand corner you will see the icon (MORE) click on that&then you will see "GEMS" click on it. And that's where you can trade them in for chips.
Answer from: Bonnie
Danielle, on the main page left hand side there are icons, one says Gems, click on that and that is where you trad in your gems for coins and power plays.
Answer from: Misa
The app on the iphone and ipad only allow you to trade gems in after certain games however Bonnie is referring to playing on facebook on a pc which allows you to use the gems any time you want.

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Doug Fieger, leader of the power pop band The Knack who sang on the 1979 hit "My Sharona," died Sunday. He was 57.
The Knack lead singer Doug Fieger dies
Fieger, a Detroit-area native, died at his home in Woodland Hills near Los Angeles after battling cancer, according to The Knack's manager, Jake Hooker.
Fieger formed The Knack in Los Angeles 1978, and the group quickly became a staple of Sunset Strip rock clubs. A year later he co-wrote and sang lead vocals on "My Sharona."
Fieger said the song, with its pounding drums and exuberant vocals, was inspired by a girlfriend of four years.
"I had never met a girl like her — ever," he told The Associated Press in a 1994 interview. "She induced madness. She was a very powerful presence. She had an insouciance that wouldn't quit. She was very self-assured. ... She also had an overpowering scent, and it drove me crazy."
"My Sharona," an unapologetically anthemic rock song, emerged during disco's heyday and held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard pop chart for six weeks, becoming an FM radio standard.
It became a pop culture phenomenon, parodied by Weird Al Yankovic and others and sampled by rap group Run DMC.

Later this month, Toshiba will begin mass-producing NAND using a second-generation 19-nm process. According to the press release, the 64Gb (8GB) chips will be the world's smallest with two bits per cell. Each one will have a die size of 94 mm², which appears to be 17% reduction from the previous generation. The presumably gen-one 19-nm chips discussed in this Toshiba presentation (PDF) from last year have the same 64Gb capacity and a 112.8 mm² die area.
Thanks to a "unique high speed writing method," the new Toshiba NAND can program bits at up to 25MB/s. That might not sound like a lot, but the figure applies to a single chip. SSDs achieve their speedy transfer rates by addressing multiple chips in parallel, and a 256GB drive would have 32 individual dies accessible to the controller.
In addition to producing MLC chips with its updated 19-nm tech, Toshiba plans to use the process to crank out TLC NAND with three bits per cell. Mass production of that memory will begin in the firm's second fiscal quarter, which ends in September. The TLC chips will first be sold in eMMC devices meant for smartphones and tablets. They'll eventually make their way into solid-state drives targeted at PCs. Thus far, the only TLC-equipped SSD we've seen is Samsung's 840 Series.
We first spotted Toshiba's 19-nm MLC NAND in Plextor's M5P SSD last year. Since then, the flash has popped up in a refreshed version of Corsair's Neutron GTX and in Toshiba's own SSDs. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the second-gen stuff to make its way onto the market—and whether the new chips will allow drive makers to cut prices even further.

Dundee United & Cowdenbeath have agreed a fee for French midfielder Morgaro Gomis, which should see the 21-year old arrive at Tannadice in January to start a 2 and a half year deal with the club.
Morgaro signed for Cowdenbeath at the start of this season, after impressing during the pre-season, and the Fife side valued the midfielder at around £20,000.
He began his career with French side Montpellier, before spending time in the Chelsea youth set-up and playing some non-league football with Barnet.
Speaking about his first signing, Craig Levein said 'The deal is agreed in principle because we can't actually sign him until the window opens again.'
'He's a young boy with potential, hence the nominal fee.'
'While he will be a first team squad player, I don't expect him to be a regular first team player in the short term.'
'He's seen as one for the future and shouldn't be viewed as someone who will immediately add strength to the midfield.'
Levein has made it clear he's looking for experienced players during the January window, but he's still planning for the long-term future of the club and feels that Morgaro Gomis will be part of that future.

Green party announce transport policy
Relevant offers
Aucklanders may be the biggest beneficiaries of the Green Party's transport policy which will see $10.4 billion invested in the country's public transport.
Party co leader Dr Russel Norman announced the policy this morning from one of Auckland's new electric trains on a trip from Onehunga to the central city.
He and transport spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter criticised the Government's spending on roads and highways which they said kept people in their cars.
The Green's policy would prioritise getting people out of their vehicles and on to public transport by building better networks, increasing the number of services and making them more affordable.
The party pledged to invest $10.4b in public transport projects and rail throughout the country over the next decade, promising more trains and buses at peak hours and decongesting the country's roads.
It would focus on implementing the Congestion Free Network plan in Auckland by 2020 through seven key projects costing $2.2b.
These included completing the City Rail Link, building a rail extension to Mt Roskill, electrifying the rail network between Papakura and Pukekohe, building another bus lane on the northwestern motorway, extending the northern busway to Albany and Newmarket, establishing a "high quality" bus network on the Upper Harbour and extending the AMETI Busway into Ellerslie and Manukau.
No other cities were mentioned in today's announcement but the Greens said "ambitious plans" for Christchurch and Wellington would be announced in the coming weeks.
Genter said they would also look at a train service between Auckland and Hamilton and increasing passenger services in Northland once the North Shore had a rail network.
The plan would be funded through a "reallocation" of Land Transport funds which Norman said would ultimately cost less than what the Government was spending on transport now.
"Instead of spending all this money on new motorways which will do nothing to reduce congestion in Auckland and across the country ... we will make critical investments which will make a huge difference in the lives of Aucklanders," Norman said.
"It is critical - Auckland is our international city but it can't be without an international transport network."
Walking and cycling infrastructure would receive a 300 per cent increase in funding across the country and there would be a $423 million contestable fund for regional projects.
Public transport would become more affordable, particularly for students, who would get a free "green card" for free off-peak travel.
This could be extended for beneficiaries or low-income earners, Genter said.
The party's announcement was supported by Transportblog's author Patrick Reynolds who said it wasn't too late to fix Auckland's transport woes.
"Auckland has enough motorways and enough roads," he said.
"Congestion is simply too much driving. At the moment people in Auckland don't have a choice.
"We're very excited by this policy, we believe it's the most rational and economically sensible thing to do."
Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee said the Green Party should identify which state highway projects would not proceed under its new policy, as the $11b removed indicated it would be all of them.
The National Party had provided $2.4b to public transport over the past five years, but 97 per cent of New Zealand's passenger travel and 91 per cent of freight movement was done on the roads, Brownlee said.
"Since being elected in 2008 the National Government has been rectifying a 30-year deficit in road transport infrastructure," he said.
"The Green Party proposal would put us back by decades."
The Greens' proposal to cut local road spending by more than $500m also put pressure on communities and compromised safety, he said.

"also the Kings are not a bad value to repeat @ 7-1 Western Conference and 14-1 Stanley Cup. Quick & Company proved last year they can get "$HIT HOT" during the playoffs. also looking at Rangers @ 7-1/16-1 and Maple Leafs 15-1/30-1 as "dangerous dogs"..."
We love a parlay of two favorites for UFC Fight Night 52. Check it out below!
Kiichi Kunimoto looked incredible in his last bout, taking on Ultimate Fighter Brazil finalist Daniel Sarafian in hostile territory. Not only did Kunimoto win, but he finished the much-hyped Brazilian. Kunimoto has incredible grappling skills and we're big believers in his ability to dominate opponents once he gets them to the canvas. That shouldn't be a problem againts Richard Walsh, an Australian fighter with limited ground ability. If Kunimoto gets this fight to the floor, it's over.
We're going to parlay Kunimoto with Miesha Tate. Tate is a former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion and is currently ranked the #2 women's bantamweight in the world. The talented veteran is coming off a close decision victory over former title challenger Liz Carmouche and, like Kunimoto, she's taking on an opponent who's a step down in competition level compared to her previous one. We expect Tate to perform very well against Japanese fighter Rin Nakai due to her significant size, reach, striking and submission advantages.
Good luck to everyone who tails!

Yes...... our souls go through our entire lives looking for one another. If we are lucky we get to spend our lives with our soul mates. If we arent lucky enough then we get to try it all over again in the next lifetime. Soul mates are undeniable..... its what God joins together in heaven and puts down here on earth..... to experience to feel to enjoy and to have peace
Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another.

There's a story in her eyes. It's a tale of dark desires. If only you could see what I see, what I feel. If only you knew what I've experienced. If only you knew what I know. My life has not been easy, there have been many trials. I can honestly say that throughout it all, despite it all, my life has always been blessed with ppl who love me & care for me. Even in my darkest hours, I could see the light shining at the end of the tunnel. I am eternally grateful for what Yah has blessed me with

"Amy," Jakob looked at me. "What's your advice to the world?" I thought long and hard about this, knowing I could say anything. I could make this statement as labyrinth or as simple as I wanted to. I was a complicated person, full of words. However, I never spoke all the words I thought, so I kept it basic. "Be kind to yourself."

Also let's not forget Aurora was betrothed (which uhh, was a thing and some places still is).
Cinderella had to be locked in her home away from her prince whilst she knew he was looking for her.
I love how no one is trying to defend Ariel and Snow.
When Ariel was permanently turned back into a human by her father, we don't know how much time passed between that day and their wedding.
Snow was under the sleeping curse for at least half a year. Remember the lovely commentary animated films used to do? At the end of the film, it states, "The Prince, who had searched far and wide, heard of the maiden who slept in the glass coffin." Additionally, it shows changes in season.
And finally we don't even see a marriage between The Prince and Snow.
I love this fandom
So really, Anna is the only princess who tries to marry a prince right away
I am so proud of everyone who commented on this

NORWALK, Conn. -- Norwalk police will conduct a water safety day Sunday, Aug. 3, at Calf Pasture Beach.
The event is hosted through a partnership with Stew Leonard III Children's Charities, Fairfield County Safe Kids and Norwalk Parks and Recreation. The event will take place from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday and feature educational materials, Stewie the Duck, the Norwalk Police Department's Dive Rescue truck and a live broadcast from 95.9 The Fox radio station.
According to Stew Leonard III Children's Charities, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children the ages of 1 and 4 years old. Most drownings occur in residential pools, though most infants younger than 1 year drown in a toilet, sink, bathtub or bucket with as little as 2 inches of water. For every child who drowns, four others are hospitalized for near drowning, and as many as three suffer permanent brain damage. Nine out of 10 drowning deaths happen when a caregiver is supervising but not paying attention.

Inga to seek British citizenship?
January 7, 2000
Newcastle's Va'aiga Tu'igamala may seek British citizenship to solve their problem of too many overseas players caused by the arrival of John Leslie.
Despite playing for Scotland, John Leslie does not hold a British passport. His arrival at the Falcons means that to play their desired side they would infringe the limitations on the number of foreign players permitted to play at one time in the Allied Dunbar Premiership.
Only two overseas players can play in any Allied Dunbar team and as South African Marius Hunter completes a trio of foreigners at the club, Samoan 'Inga' has spoken of a desire to get a passport.
Newcatle boss Rob Andrew said, "It's impossible to say when Inga will get his passport but I'm confident we can resolve this quickly.

I made these trousers in stretch cotton/linen as part of my outfit for April. When I was making them I did a few alterations to improve the fit, but I still wasn't really happy with the fit. This is after some more alterations to the depth of the crotch and the width of the legs. I'm much happier with them now and it has been a learning experience in fitting trousers!
The pattern is from Burda Style 1/2009 pattern 121
The original trousers are blogged here
Stretch cotton/linen blend, zipper, skull button.
