GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Niagara's Hobey Baker Award finalist outplayed his two counterparts from North Dakota for all but 57 seconds in Friday night's NCAA Tournament West Regional semifinal in Van Andel Arena.
That brief stretch, however, prevented the Purple Eagles from authoring a fairy-tale start to the biggest weekend in the history of Division I hockey in Western New York.
Carsen Chubak turned aside 41 shots, some of them rather acrobatically, but it's the two that slipped past the junior goaltender up for college hockey's player of the year honor that proved to be the difference as one of the best seasons in Niagara history ended at the hands of North Dakota, 2-1, before 2,289 fans.
UND (22-12-7), the region's second seed, faces No. 4 Yale in today's 4 p.m. regional final. The winner advances to the Frozen Four in two weeks in Pittsburgh.
Yale stunned top-seeded Minnesota, 3-2, in overtime in the opening game.
Hobey Baker finalist Danny Kristo's goal with 17:07 left in the third period completed North Dakota's two-goal blitz that left the third-seeded Purple Eagles woozy for most of the final frame. UND outshot third-seeded Niagara, 20-7, over the final 20 minutes and 43-29 overall.
"We had an incredible run," a disappointed Chubak said. "First three quarters of the season was probably one of the best in Niagara's history. Too bad we couldn't finish as strong as we started."
It wasn't for lack of trying.
NU (23-10-5), which made waves by becoming the first Atlantic Hockey Association team to earn an at-large bid to the tournament and has been ranked a program-record 18 straight weeks, showed flashes of top-10 team in the nation ability during the second period. The Purple Eagles seized momentum, started throwing their weight around and then took a lead on senior defenseman and co-captain Jason Beattie's seventh goal in 105 career games.
The problem: The Purple Eagles only beat UND freshman goalie Zane Gothberg once on their 16 second-period shots despite having several quality scoring chances. Gothberg's best stop came against junior Ryan Murphy's partial breakaway with five minutes left in which Niagara's leading scorer went to his patented forehand-to-backhand deke. It's a move he scored on five times this season, but North Dakota's Gothberg prevented him from making it six.
"It was nice to jump over the boards and have a partial break," Murphy said. "I just tried to pull to my backhand as quick as I could and I think when that happened the puck rolled on me and affected my ability to get it upstairs."
"We need to make it 2-0, 3-0 on some of the Grade A's we had," NU coach Dave Burkholder said.
"If we make it 2-0 even, I think the third period's different. We kept a very good offensive team in the game."
UND, which entered Friday as the nation's fifth-best scoring team, seized the momentum at 1:56 of the third period as one of the six NHL draftees it boasts on the blue line beat Chubak, except it was the stay-at-home defenseman who found paydirt.
Senior captain Andrew MacWilliam's shot through lots of traffic handcuffed Chubak and bounced in off his glove.
"I had a good look at it from the bench. ... A couple of guys skated through his line of vision just as it was making its way" to the net, Burkholder said. "It was a tough one."
Not as tough to swallow as Kristo's game-winner 57 seconds later.
Kristo scooped up the rebound of his own shot in tight, made a fake that Chubak bit on and then beat him on a wraparound to the other side.
"He's really aggressive, that's why I think he's so successful," Kristo said.
"I saw him coming out a bit, I didn't think I had much room or anything to shoot at so I just tried to do a quick fake and a wrap."
"It was a tough one. I just couldn't get back to the far post on time," Chubak said. "Both goals are would-be ones I'd like to not give up."
Niagara, making its fourth NCAA appearance, last won in its tourney debut in 2000, when it beat New Hampshire.
In that game, the Purple Eagles scored timely goals and received spectacular goaltending from Greg Gardner, who parlayed a strong season and NCAA Tournament into becoming the first Niagara player to sign an NHL contract.
On Friday, Niagara got the goaltending from Chubak. It was the other ingredient vital for playoff success that led to the Purple Eagles' sudden doom.
"He played great for us all game, he stood on his head," said senior assistant captain Giancarlo Iuorio, who had a scoring chance in the final minute blocked by a UND defenseman. "When you play a team like North Dakota you need to score more than one goal."
"Carsen's had a terrific year," Burkholder said. "We knew he'd have to be one of the game's stars. He should have been the first star. ...
"We pull our goalie [at the end], have a couple chances, couple whacks at it. It wasn't enough."

5 Ways 'Arkham City' Proves I'm Under Qualified to be Batman
Look, I know it's highly unlikely that I would have ever been Batman, but I just didn't think the option would be completely off the table at this point in my life, you know? Yes, I'm poor, cowardly, out of shape and the only thing I want to "avenge" is that time somebody took one of my beers out of the company fridge without asking. But I guess I just figured that there was always time for my parents to be murdered, to win the lottery, and maybe to take a few karate classes. And that should be it: That's all I would need to successfully Batman myself. All the rest of it -- the mentality, the plans, the drive -- that's stuff I already have. But now that Batman: Arkham City is out, and has proven to be a rather effective Batman simulator, I realize that there are so many other factors to being a Batman, and that I am just fundamentally terrible at all of them. Sadly, what follows are the myriad ways Arkham City has finally convinced me that it's time to scratch "Dark Knight" off the list of things I want to be when I grow up.
#5. I Got No Rhythm
The fighting sections in Batman: Arkham Asylum, and again in Batman: Arkham City, are rhythm-based affairs. That's not an observation I'm making up: During development, the devs initially planned the whole game to be a kind of gritty Dance Dance Revolution. Wait, no: Put the knife down and stop googling "batman devs address." That concept is not as stupid as it seems. Jackie Chan himself once described the inherent rhythm involved in being a great fighter. To paraphrase: If you don't feel it inside, get a sense of it while the fight plays out, find the song narrating each battle, you can't win. If you don't have music in your soul, you're going to get your ass beat.
And I absolutely do not have music in my soul. My rhythm's so bad I need sheet music for clapping. I'm so musically retarded that I thought a diminished fifth was a half-empty liquor bottle. I understand music so poorly that when I first heard the rhythm was gonna get me, I asked if it was a visual hunter and smeared myself in rotten offal just in case I was wrong.
In short: My ass gets beat routinely, and with much vigor.
Like this, except right afterward I trip, fall into a dumpster and get beaten to death.
And it's not that Arkham City's fighting is objectively hard -- you can flail at buttons and win most melees. But the point of such a basic fighting system is mostly to show what a badass Batman is: He makes short work of his foes no matter what, and if you do it right, they'll never even touch you. If you do it wrong, you still win, of course, but a lot of the savage, balletic fight scenes get interrupted by an awkward punch to the back of the head. The thugs doing the punching seem just as surprised as you when this happens. They stand there giving you a look like, "Re- really? Man, if I knew that was gonna connect I would've put some heart into it." If you ain't got no rhythm in your bones, the fighting in Arkham City feels less like a barbaric waltz that you're conducting, and more like you're the special class in the school's football championship.
You're doing your best and you should be proud, but come on; nobody's really been trying to tackle you.
#4. I Do Not Understand People
When I said that the fist-fighting in Arkham City was easy, even if you're terrible at it, that doesn't mean the game lacks for challenge. It just means that some poor bastard brought a fist to a Batman fight. No, the challenge, rightfully, comes from the armed enemies. Guns in the game are almost instantly lethal. To defeat a roomful of armed hooligans, you'll need stealth, agility and an understanding of basic psychology -- especially that of fear. You play with their minds, get them to separate, and then take them down one by one in the dark, because you're the fucking Batman. You're what nightmares have nightmares about.
Or at least, that's how it goes if you do it right.
So far, my experience in Arkham City has mostly been setting up brilliant traps -- lines of psychological dominoes that will all fall at just the right angle to terrorize and incapacitate my foes in one fell swoop -- and then charging into them myself while screaming my own name.
I used to blame the stealth genre in general for these aborted schemes: "It's the game's fault," I'd say, "if your gameplay relies on psychology, you're going to need more impressive AI to deal with the stuff I dish out."
But after decades of failed espionage, I'm starting to realize that is not the case: The ninjas aren't eating that poisoned rice ball because the item is useless, but because you threw it into their abdomen from a shadow three feet away. They knew it was you that stabbed the guard because the crowd you were hiding in turned left five paces back, and you were left standing in the middle of an empty road with a bloody knife. You failed the stealth mission, Robert, because you covered the ceiling with explosive gel, stood directly on top of it and then detonated it so you could "jumpkick everybody through the flames on the way down," instead of just ducking into the vents, like you were supposed to.
#3. I'm Too Easily Distracted
Arkham City takes place in a dense, heavily populated open world. It won't stagger you with its sheer size, but every inch feels organic, lived in and genuinely intriguing. This kind of game design is more about immersion than interaction. It's like good service at a high-end restaurant; all the effort is there to make sure you never notice it at all. But if you're a completionist, or you're just stuck somewhere and need a break from the main story, there are a few side missions and exploratory games.
Or, if you've lived 30 years with undiagnosed ADHD, you can go charging off after shiny things in the middle of a tense hostage situation.
This is my main problem with all open world games: If you tell me to get from Point A to Point B, you'd better make the journey fun. However, if you make the journey too fun, it's incredibly likely that I will forget about Point B entirely, and run off clapping after pretty birds instead, screaming to my wife in the other room about "these fucking crazy authentic migratory behaviors!" In Grand Theft Auto IV, I happened to notice some fast food workers cleaning the windows as I ran by a restaurant on my way to rescue a friend from certain death. I stopped and stared, mesmerized, as an NPC ran a dirty rag over glass. The clock ran out, the timed mission failed, a good man died and a window was cleaned.
Do you know how many hours I wasted just jogging from rooftop to rooftop in Assassin's Creed? Not even pursuing unlockables, just jumping because jumping is neat!
... but there's something even neater.
Well now they've added a similar mechanic to the Goddamn Batman: You traverse a vast swathe of a meticulously rendered Gotham City via a combination of parkour, grapple-hook swinging and hang-gliding. That's right: Just traveling from objective to objective incorporates the most addictive elements from Assassin's Creed, Bionic Commando and fucking Pilotwings.
A scream rings out in the night, shrill and desperate. A woman. An alleyway. Two men in hoods.
"Please, somebody help me!" She sobs.
"Ain't nobody gonna help you," the thin man answers.
"Wait, why not? Isn't this a Batman game?" The fat one asks.
"Hey, yeah, where is he?" The woman interjects, wiping mascara stains from her pale skin.
"Last time I saw him, he was doing loop-de-loops around the bell tower, seeing how long he could go without touching the ground and holy shit, is that him up there? Is he still doing it?! It's been six hours! What is he, high?"

But he could still compete at Nationals for a place on the world team, couldn't he, even though he would not be eligible for the Olympic team---- so all his effort is not in vain.
But he could still compete at Nationals for a place on the world team, couldn't he, even though he would not be eligible for the Olympic team---- so all his effort is not in vain.
So...did he finally make you all happy?!
Not this season-----does that mean he plans on competing in the future?
What in the world? It's over? Evan isn't going to Sochi? What next? There is no Santa Claus? Johnny Weir doesn't like wearing sequins? I hope people don't think the US are sending second class skaters without Evan. They still have a good group of skaters fighting out for the National title.
Perhaps I ought to be disappointed that we didn't get to have another round of "Evan works harder than ANY OTHER SKATER IN THE WORLD!!!!" bull...
I find it ironic that you get upset at other people who "disrespect the abilities and prospects of much younger and better skaters", when you have made it a habit on this forum to repeatedly disrespect the abilities and accomplishments of several skaters, including Lysacek.
My reference to the "charade" was the rubbish that Lysacek was the only prospect of anything, which is blatantly false and, as I said, very annoying.
I have no doubt that Lysacek was injured - it always seemed to me that he pushed himself too far, too soon, quite regularly. He is not Weir who regularly faked. However I lost a ton of respect for Lysacek after that whole rubbish with Skate America where he withdrew because they could not come to a suitable financial arrangement! I mean, what a joke. The USFSA weren't jerks, Lysacek got greedy.
Here is Phil Hersh's take, as of a few days ago, about why Lysacek is still in the conversation (basically, because no other U.S. man has stepped up over the last four years).
Really...you want me to believe that your "charade" comment was not referring to Lysacek, when you make this comment about him in the other Lysacek thread: "my only surprise is that he didn't keep up the act until the day before Nationals." (FYI, to put on an act is a charade)
To further clarify, it is my belief that Lysacek has known for some time that he would not recover in time, but has continued to say that he would to milk his sponsor spots. For which I cannot really blame him.
So far, pangtongfan's track record:
1. Chan is certainly in a suitable position to win gold, or at least silver. But we'll have to wait and see.
2. Weaver and Poje haven't won the GPF, or their first ever GP assignment, and certainly will not win the bronze in Sochi. Even Worlds if D/W and V/M retired they could still lose to B/S, I/K and P/B.
3. V/T, as you said, lost the GPF. They have my respect, but the judges certainly don't for their egregious PCS boosting and +GOE even on mistakes.
4. Pending... if Julia wins, that's another one wrong.
5. Wagner likely won't medal in Sochi, and at Worlds she'll be depending on retirements of Mao/Kim/Kostner to medal (and could still lose to Murakami/Gold/Suzuki).
6. Oooooh, he got one correct! Ando not making the Japanese Olympic team... such a daring prediction.
1, 2, and 4 can all potentially not happen. Somebody get ready for another bump!

The Best Car Ever!!!
by Casey M from Jupiter, Fl | January 8, 2014
I bought this car about a year and a half ago and have loved driving it. It is a great strong car that always has a little more power when you need it. It is a solid car that continues to impress me. This car is a tank that is light on its feet, beautiful to drive and look at and it has performed beyond expectation.

I Love this Car
by Teenaged driver from | May 21, 2011
I typically drive the clk 320 coupe and my dad's 08 c300 sports sedan. I prefer this as it is more fun to drive, it is just more zippy. The ride i comfortable yet still able to provide good feed back. I get around 22mpg (mostly city). I have the stock speakers hooked up to an aftermarket stereo and they sound better than any toyota. The car has a few minor issues but none major and this is to be expected of a 12 year old car. A well maintained one will be an excellent car for anyone.

Longevity with style
by kphins from So Cal | February 26, 2011
I've owned my CLK430 for 10 years now. I never expected the experience this car has provided. Other than oil changes and tires this CLK430 has never needed a single repair. The engine is responsive, intererior design is effecient and stylish. The only problem is the gas mileage. 13 years ago, gas was cheaper and the sub 20 mpg I get makes this a more expensive commuter. MB got ths one right!

CLK430 -Must Have Classic
by Black Opal from | May 25, 2009
I am a car enthusiast and this car turns heads everywhere. Its classic and elegant but very powerful and masculine at the same time. It has lines that are better than the newer W209's. The CLK430 will cost you marginally more but it well worth it because the AMG body moldings as well as the AMG wheels make the car look complete. The engine is a powerful V8 which is so smooth and powerful with torque on demand in any gear at any RPM. The ride is wonderful for a sports coupe and amazing for long drives. For the money I've never been able to find anything that hits all the marks quite like this car. I always wanted one and since I've had mine I've never been dissapointed. They are very reliable if you change the oil (synthetic only) and put in the premium gas. The more you drive it the more you will realize why Mercedes is such an exellent brand. The leather alone lasts so long and never cracks. My car is 11 years only and looks like a new car. The stereo is awesome (bose) and the interior is simple (real burlwood not like the new mercedes-plastic). Its good in the rain just don't take it out in the snow. This car is a solid as a rock and will never let you down. BUY ONE!

Pleasantly surprised
by Tman from Chicago, IL | September 7, 2006
The engine has good torque which makes the most of the 215 hp. The handling is nuetral with a nice tendancy towrds oversteer especially in wet conditions. Transmission is in need of tiptronics for downshifting. I bought mine used and noticed a lot of windshield noise. If you don't like the looks of this car something is wrong. It does'nt mean you won't get along in the world, but something is missing!

The holdings of the Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Collection include three detached manuscript leaves. "The detached leaves, consisting of two Evangelist portraits and a text page with figurative initial, are known to have come from a pair of de luxe eleventh-century manuscripts. Moreover, by an unusual and happy coincidence, both of those precious books carry dedication notices naming members of the Byzantine court aristocracy, both were given to known monasteries, and in both instances the donor had left the court to take monastic vows. This small booklet is devoted to those three manuscripts leaves and to their fascinating history as courtly gifts."

From the Preface: "The present volume is conceived" on a principle "of uniting dated manuscripts from the same geographical area and the same cultural milieu. In a sense it breaks new ground in Greek manuscript studies. It comprises dated or plausibly datable Greek manuscripts copied in Cyprus or by Cypriot copyists from the tenth century to the occupation of the island by the Ottoman Turks in 1570, wherever they are now located and whatever their content may be."

This monograph is devoted to a group of fifteen illuminated Byzantine manuscripts of the late thirteenth century which, though closely interrelated and the result of collaboration by a very small number of scribes and artists, defy classification as works of a single scriptorium. It is argued that they were commissioned by an imperial princess who personally assembled a team of eminent craftsmen expressly to produce a limited number of distinguished books showing common characteristics and adhering to a common codicological program. The evidence offers an unexpected insight into the unique conditions that were responsible for some of the finest surviving illustrated manuscripts of the Palaeologan period.

"Turyn's work will long be definitive." Journal of Hellenic Studies
Professor Turyn has published books on Greek manuscripts in the Vatican Library, and here he examines book scripts and subscriptions from the dated Greek manuscripts in the libraries of Great Britain. These to-scale facsimile reproductions, one hundred ninety-eight in total, provide ample paleographical material that will help in dating other manuscripts. The author presents the chronological evidence and extensively interprets the prosopographical and linguistic elements of the manuscripts. At the same time he elucidates the origins of a manuscript, its character as a document of Byzantine culture, and its role in the transmission of ancient and medieval Greek literature.

Our age, in which computers have taken over all forms of textual production and promise to give new meaning to late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century concepts of "automatic writing," has witnessed a widespread nostalgia for, or at least sympathetic interest in, older, more personalized forms of writing, such as calligraphy, glyphs, and graffiti. The relationship between word and image has long been a staple of scholarship. Of these, ut pictura poesis is only the most familiar. Ekphrasis is another. Variations on the text-image paradigm include oppositions between oral and written, hearing and seeing, and, in the medieval West, Latin and the vernaculars -- a hierarchy of languages, both spoken and written, that varies in its relationship to visual forms of expression. Whereas semiotics insisted on the linguistic nature of all systems of representation, and Derrida's deconstruction, building on Saussurian linguistics, emphasized the logocentricity of Western thought, the anthropological turn in the Humanities has redirected attention to the ways in which images and imagistic modes of presentation augment and enhance the primacy, presence, and power of speech. The symposium sought to tap into and interrogate the newfound interest in presence, or in the production of effects of presence; in issues of agency -- the agency, not only of human actors, but also of objects; and in the role of materiality in the production of meaning.
Contributors explored ways in various cultural traditions have organized the relationship between image and letter, whether in terms of equivalency, complementarity, or polarity. Papers explored those situations in which letter and image were fused, forming hybrid signs that had no vocal equivalent and were not necessarily bound to any specific language. It emerged that while imagistic scripts work on the visible, troubling representation, they also challenge the legible in terms of linguistic signification. The incorporation of figures, objects, colors, even events, within the letter insists on the material dimension of the sign. As the iconicity of the letter transforms reading into gazing, the script-like character of the image compels consideration of the co-signification of sign forms. In mediating each other into altered formats, the script-image disrupts a-priori models and ideas and thus redefines both text and image in terms of their signifying and representational processes. The disruptive effect of imagistic script inheres in a suspension of meaning that defamiliarizes the system of representation and signification in which it was produced and circulated.
Looking at the material and visual dimensions of script, including pictographic, ideographic and logographic writing systems, as well as alphabetic scripts, the contributors offered a variety of ways to consider this entire nexus of issues. Are the visual dimensions of script essential or extraneous? Do they merely shape expression or are they constitutive of meaning? Such questions go to the heart of the relationship between representation and reality.
The Dumbarton Oaks Research Library holds almost 2,000 microfilm rolls that are reproductions of medieval and early modern manuscripts, the originals of which are held in institutions around the world. Researchers have difficulty using the collection, as it is still without a finding aid. Last year, the library started a project to develop a searchable finding aid for this collection. The project is coordinated by Byzantine Studies Librarian Deborah Brown, who is assisted by Special Projects and Reference Librarian Sarah Burke Cahalan.
In close consultation with Deb and Sarah, Web and Graphic Designer Michael Sohn and Database Specialist Prathmesh Mengane designed a FileMaker Pro database for recording each film's information. During the summer of 2012, Deb and Prathmesh will design a version of the finding aid and auxiliary pages for the Dumbarton Oaks website. Until the new pages are launched, a simplified version of the database is available to researchers on Library levels one and four.
Key to the project are three graduate students who joined the library staff as interns for the summers of 2011 and 2012: Vladimir Boskovic (Harvard University, Classics/Modern Greek studies), Saskia Dirkse (Harvard University, Classics), and Roderick Saxey II (The Ohio State University, Classics). Their task involves evaluating the physical state of each film, identifying its contents, researching manuscripts using print and online resources, and recording the information into the FileMaker Pro database. In 2011, the team processed 531 microfilms representing 509 manuscripts. The library staff is delighted to welcome the same enthusiastic, friendly, and highly skilled team for another ten-week internship this summer.

This is the first monographic study of a single Armenian manuscript, the Glajor Gospel, a fourteenth-century illuminated manuscript. In addition to critical studies of the iconography of the illuminations, Mathews and Sanjian provide the history of the Glajor Gospel and the political and cultural setting in which it was produced, as well as the history of the monastery and school of Glajor. All full-page illuminations from the Gospel are reproduced at their original size, with twenty-four color illustrations.

For almost three centuries, scholars have debated the credibility of the information provided in the colophon of Codex Parisinus graecus 1115. According to this inscription, the manuscript was copied in the year 1276 from another manuscript dating back to the year 774/5; the archetype originated in the papal library at Rome and contains a partial record of the Greek holdings of the library.
The majority of the texts included in the manuscript come from florilegia related to the ecumenical councils. This volume examines the use of florilegia—anthologies of earlier writings—by these councils. Analysis of the contents of the manuscript provides new information concerning, among other things, the beginning of the Filioque controversy and the use of Iconophile florilegia by the seventh ecumenical council in 787. Also revealed is the archetype's role in the negotiations between Rome and Constantinople that led to the Union of the Churches, proclaimed at the Council of Lyons II in 1274, and the indirect involvement of Thomas Aquinas through his Contra Errores Graecorurn.

And pretty pleased with the S/S win too although it's tough when it's so close.
Oh,, my goodness, this makes up for a lot of the misery in this Worlds.
They're stunned and so are the japanese fans. She's like a little puppy jumping around and being lifted up. A wonderful moment.

Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Baseball here, baseball there; baseball, baseball everywhere…
Friday night I got home from work as quick as I'm able, changed outfits and headed to the ballpark, arriving in the second inning of game one as the I-Cubs dug into the first of four games with the Nashville Sounds in barely 24 hours.
We went with a group of friends and sat at one of the picnic tables in the leftfield corner so I had neither my usual vantage point nor perspective. On the first pass of the cart-mounted mortar we scored an I-Cubs t-shirt. While Rodrigo Lopez labored to preserve the bullpen I worked my way through a lineup of hot dog, nachos, peanuts, soda and lemonade, looking up only at the crack of Tony Rizzo's bat to watch #18 jump the center field wall. I seem to recall him later singling in the middle of a game-winning seventh (i.e., last) inning rally that first tied and ultimately won the first episode of the weekend marathon. It would not have been a good thing had the opener of the quad-stacker extended into extras.
Game two opened with me indigested, Corey Patterson penciled in as the Sounds' leftfielder (batting seventh) and Rafael Dolis flirting with a pair of blondes along the short bullpen wall. While I fasted the Sounds cruised to a split of twinbill numero uno. Rafael went unscored upon later in the evening but I wonder if the same could be said for the two blondes.
I stayed away from the ballpark Saturday, opting instead for a day at the races; even dropping a couple of bucks I bet to show on a longshot named "Big Z" in the eighth race. Meanwhile, back at the ballpark, Iowa and Nashville split again with the I-Cubs taking the opener behind a complete-game 1-0 shutout authored by Brooks Raley before dropping the nightcap, 3-2. I was afraid the teams might be reduced to playing tee-ball at some point in their fourth game in two days but thanks to pretty sturdy starters both pitching staffs survived.
Yesterday I took a daytrip to Target Field to watch the big club become a 20-game winner. Try to think of their winning percentage as a batting average.
The Twins' playground has already depreciated into just another with all the obnoxious bells and whistles that ensure a start-to-finish sensory bombardment whenever you dig deep enough to finance an outing to a big league venue. When they posted the lineups on the skyscraping Jumbotron before the game the Cubs' struck me as a list of MLB's Nine Least Wanted when I saw the names on that scale. Heart of the order = DeJesus, Soriano, Baker. Ye gods...
Dempster didn't disappoint, outpitching Liriano to enable a rare win over an opposing southpaw. Castro seemed hobbled in scoring his third run of the day but he gamely shuffled back out to man his position and finish the game. Maybe he's just tired. I know I am. Remember the flip side of the Meat Loaf hit: One Outta Three Ain't Good.
While the Cubs were salvaging the finale in Minneapolis the same stout breeze that was at our backs driving north was escorting Rizzo's 19th and 20th over and out back home in Des Moines. Brett Jackson tagged one, too, operating out of the two-hole I noticed, just ahead of Rizzo. He's been batting sixth against lefties of late while staying in his customary leadoff spot versus righties. Yesterday's starter for Nashville was a right-hander. Jackson also swiped his 12th base. His 80 whiffs lead the PCL.
Tonight the I-Cubs open a series at home against the division-leading Omaha Storm Chasers, hoping to close the ten-game gap that separates the two clubs.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Joel Sherman tweet:
I hear the #Cubs won out for Jorge Soler. #Yankees tried, but didn't get him.
Goldstein: Source told me last night that he didn't think the Cubs had a ''choke point" on Soler, and would one-up any bid until he was theirs.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
fwiw, Goldstein's scouting report on him.
Jorge Soler is a RF profile guy. BIG power, big arm, ok fielder, holes in swing. He's not historic and he's seen as ready for Low-A.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Rosenthal confirms signing.
The 2016 Cubs are gonna be fucking awesome!!!!
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Potential middle of Cubs 2016 lineup:
3- Starlin Castro SS
4- Anthony Rizzo 1B
5- Javier Baez 2B
6 - Jorge Soler RF
7- Jeimer Candelerio 3B
depending on the actual MLB abilities of the infielders involved. In other words, maybe Castro at second, blah blah
EDIT: Or, this being the Cubs, trade all those names in for journeymen.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
who's ready to pay $15m+ for castro?
not only can i not believe reyes got the deal he got with MIA, i'm blown away by how many people were calling it awesome.
yeah, he's great for a SS...for a SS...for a SS...but he got slugger money.
it's not as bad as theo's folly of paying a LF'r with leadoff skills like he's a 40hr 120rbi guy, but it's still a lot of money to pay just for position scarcity and i hope theocorp is done with that.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Okay, well, not exactly something to do cartwheels about, but at least its another prospect to watch in the Boise/Peoria box scores. It does feel good to beat out the Yankees, regardless of what it is. What is the over/under on his ACTUAL age? I put it at 23...
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Jim Bowden tweets a scouting grade; " 50 RUN, 65 ARM 65 PWR 45 HIT 55 FLD"
Heyman says 9 yrs/$30M.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
I just got a phone alert and did a double take on the 9 years.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
9 years is great, no rush to promote him and you basically have him for the bulk of his better years.
He'll be 29/30 when the deal is done.
We'll have to see what the structure is and if there any outs or options in there, but sounds great if he works out.
Not so great if he's a bust of course.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
no surprise, but Keith Law saying Soler can opt out at some point and go through regular arbitration process.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
If I'm giving $30M to a 20 year-old "ready for Low-A," I'd want to have him for 9 years as well.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
i hope that's a current grade and not a projection grade.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Albert Almora has to feel a little pissed about the system.
monday morning 10-pack
While the focus on the Cubs system is firmly on the Triple-A team and the prospects that will arrive in Wrigley this year, Alcantara has turned into a pop-up guy in the system. With five hits over the weekend, the 20-year-old Dominican is now batting .291/.315/.417 in 60 games this season. There are some holes in his game, in particular an overly-aggressive plate approach and sloppy throwing mechanics that have contributed to 22 errors, but he's a line drive hitter with a quick bat, plus speed, and the tools to remain at short. Scouts see Alcantara as a good utility player, at the very least, and many give him a chance to be an everyday player if he continues to progress.
Prior struck out four batters on Friday, and in three appearances for the PawSox, he has now recorded 10 whiffs over 4 2/3 innings while allowing three hits and two walks. His fastball has gotten up to 93 mph, and one insider noted its deception as well; hitters are clearly having a difficult time picking the ball up out of his hand. He's 31 years old, however, and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2006. Prior could have easily hung them up years ago without any guilt, but there he is, in Rhode Island and missing bats. I don't think there's a player in the minors I'm rooting for more.
Goldstein on Soler
On a scouting level, Soler has a classic right-field profile. He's athletic, with at least average speed, and has decent instincts in center, which should serve him well in right, as well as a plus or better arm. His calling card offensively is raw power that has earned 70+ scores from scouts, but opinions are his pure hit tool are quite varied. There is clearly some swing and miss in his game, but he's shows the ability to make adjustments in international play. There is some stiffness to his swing, but it clearly has worked for him so far.
In the 2011 draft, Soler could have been a top ten pick. In the 2012 draft, he certainly would have been among the top eight, and likely top five.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Levine says he can opt out each year he is arb eligible essentially being able to weigh his guaranteed money vs. potential arb money.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
That is not terrible... if he performs well enough to get more money through arbitration, he should be well worth the money.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
So how many years before he becomes arb eligible? I have read AZ Phil's breakdowns of these things enough times that i should know the answer, but I'm afraid I don't....
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Depends when he starts playing in the majors. But it's usually 3 years of service time, some players are eligible just shy of 3 years, aka Super 2's.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Well, he will not ecome arb eligible until he starts on the 40-man I believe. Thats gonna take some time.
Then, it is the following:
Player with less than 6 yrs service time is eligible
1. Witout a contract coming up
2. hes been tendered an offer by his xurrent team by the tender deadline, and he cannot...
3. agree with the current team on a new deal AND
4. meets this:
- has been on a roster or on the DL for at least 3yrs
- 2 yrs mlb service time (but less than 3), Has to be among top 17% for cumulative playing time in majors among his peers, and on a mlb roster for at LEAST 86 days in the previous season.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
he actually got a deal that didn't put him on the 40-man?
about time and good job, theocorp...even though he'll probably have to be added after the season to protect him.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
it's a major league deal, he'll be put on the 40-man immediately.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Cue the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the 40 man and losing the ryan flaherty's of the world.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
No need to lose any more Ryan Flaherty's. We've got Johnson, Baker, Mather, Camp, etc.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
he'd have to be protected after this season anyway.
...and the 40-man roster management has been...interesting.
no matter what anyone thinks of r.flaherty he instantly became the #1 bat target in the Rule 5 as soon as he wasn't protected...and that showed itself to be true. that's what was wierding out most people.
he probably still belongs in AAA, but that's BAL's issue now. at least the cubs took casey weathers off the 40-man because he had no business there to begin with.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Until they prove otherwise, I'll defer to the current front office about the 40 man roster and who to keep on and leave off as it's impacted by the signing of the Solers and Concepcions of the world. Because while there are the occassional Abreus and Santanas to be found, they're more typically largely fungible "assets" that have minimal impact. Or in other words, is there really a difference between Flaherty and Cardenas?
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
some of us believe there was plenty of fat to be cut off the 40-man before getting flaherty involved. two names have already been mentioned...there's more to some of us.
we're talking about a 2nd/3rd backup anyway...a guy that's good for 200-300ab's.
there's also the g.concepcion business...the money was weird, the 40-man assignment was weird...both of them together was "really?"

Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
I assume he goes to Mesa for a couple of weeks and then reports to Boise or Peoria. This means AZ Phil will be seeing him every day for the next few weeks and I will be very interested in reading your thoughts Phil. Also, once the details of the contract become little more public I would like to see your thoughts on this arbitration thing and when the free agent clock starts ticking. A very interesting day for our Cubs.
Re: Where's Banks When You Need Him?
Phil, my mind is working after this 9 year deal. Could this be the loophole in the new agreement. I realize there are no Major League contracts on the new deal, but is to prevent the boys from saying to Boras, here's the deal. You realize we can only give you the maximum for the slot, but how about if at the end of 2013' if you meet minimum goals we agree to sign you to a Major League deal at much higher money. I would be nterestedin knowing if that is doable under the new deal.

ROGER: First-year international players (that is, players from outside the U. S. and Canada who have not previously signed a minor league or MLB contract) can be signed to a major league contract through July 1st.
Starting on July 2nd, first-year international free-agents can be signed only to minor league contracts, unless the player is at least 23 years old and has spent all or parts of at least five separate seasons in a recognized foreign "major" league (but only a minimum of three years in a foreign "major" league for Cuban players age 23 and older).
So as long as he signs by July 1st, the Cubs can sign Soler to a major league contract, and the bonus and salary do not count against the International Signing Bonus Pool (ISBP) that goes into effect on July 2.

UTEP went over nine minutes without a field goal in the second half, during which time it was outscored 17-2, in an eventual 45-39 loss at Southern Miss on Wednesday.
The Miners (14-11, 7-5 C-USA) led for most of the first half, and for the first 10 minutes of the second half, before going ice-cold from the field. During a stretch starting at 12:52 remaining and ending at 3:45, UTEP shot 0-for-10 from the field, including 0-for-8 from three-point range. During that time Southern Miss (21-6, 10-2 C-USA) turned a 29-24 deficit into a 41-31 lead.
For the second time this season, the Miners allowed 45 points in a road game but came up on the short end of the scoreboard.
"It's always frustrating when you don't make shots," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "But at the same time, I'm very pleased with how hard our guys played on the defensive end. It was not like Houston, where we did not do anything on the other end."
The Golden Eagles' 45 points were 29 under their season average. Their 16 first-half points were a season low for a period.
"We held them to 33 percent [shooting], which is usually good enough to win. But unfortunately we shot 30 ourselves," Floyd said. "We took a lot of threes [4-for-26], and did not shoot for percentage from the three-point line."
UTEP was up 22-16 at halftime, holding Southern Miss to 30 percent shooting. Konner Tucker's three pointer gave the Miners their largest lead (25-16) on the first possession of the second half. The Miners were still up by nine (27-18) when McKenzie Moore scored shortly afterwards.
After that, UTEP scored 12 points in 16 and a half minutes.
For a while, it looked like the Miners might be able to overcome their offensive futility. Neither team scored for two and a half minutes after Jerrold Brooks tied the game at 31 on a three pointer with 10:12 to play. But Rashard Gill broke the deadlock on a free throw at the 7:38 mark. That gave Southern Miss its first lead since 10-9 early in the game, and the Golden Eagles wouldn't trail again.
Southern Miss didn't shoot a free throw in the first half. The Golden Eagles were 8-for-13 from the stripe over the final 20 minutes.
"That is probably the big difference in the game," Floyd said.
A key to the Miners building the halftime lead was their outrebounding the Golden Eagles 17-12. In the second half, Southern Miss controlled the glass 24-16. UTEP converted four offensive rebounds into six second chance points before halftime. The Miners scored two second chance points in the second half.
"I was pleased with some of our offensive board work in the first half. We didn't get many in the second," Floyd said. "In games like this, where you're struggling scoring and shooting, you'd love to have second chance opportunities. We just fired up way too many threes, probably the most we've taken all year long."
Moore led UTEP with 12 points and 11 rebounds, his first career double-double. No other Miner scored more than seven points. Brooks (13 points) and Neil Watson (11) were Southern Miss' scoring leaders.
The Miners will play their final non-conference game on Saturday at I-10 rival NM State at 7 p.m. MT. UTEP has C-USA games remaining at home versus Houston (Feb. 27) and Memphis (March 5), and at Rice (March 2) and SMU (March 9).

Can you define these popular missing words?
If something is blang blang, it's not really ballin at all, it's silly, cheesy, or trying too hard. Often used in reference to ghetto people trying to be ballers. Cheap rims, fake jewelry, off-brand gangster clothes are all blang blang. Also can be used sarcastically to refer to one's own lack of blingness.
Usually it's said by itself, not in a sentence. Upon seeing or hearing something, one will say blang blang.

Whereas bling and blingbling refer to the imaginary sound that is produced by the internal refraction of light in cut diamond, blang and blangblang refers to sound of light refracting inside QVC's Diamondite. blangblang is mainly used as an ironic substitute for blingbling- a phrase now favored by the mtv generation.

No one in the original thread would answer, so I thought I'd start a new thread. I know it's "abortion week" and I apologize for yet another thread, but I really would like people who are pro-life to answer this question. So here it is:
Research has already proven that making abortion illegal doesn't stop the number of abortions; it only increases maternal deaths.
Therefore, why is abortion legislation important?
Second question:
Since abortion legislation seems to be pointless in stopping abortion, why don't pro-life people (the millions who march and protest every day) start an organization which educates women and hands out birth control, since education and birth control ARE proven methods to reduce abortions?
Please answer.

Stetson men's basketball head coach Corey Williams announced a fourth National Letter of Intent signing to his first full recruiting class on Sunday. Point guard Divine Myles of Mobile, Ala. will join the Hatters squad for the 2014-15 season.
Myles, who attends Blount High School in Alabama, has been recruited by the likes of Auburn, Seton Hall, Northwestern, and more, but chose to attend Stetson for his collegiate career.
The 5-10 true point guard was named Alabama Class 6A All-State last season as a junior after leading the Leopards to the state finals with 10 assists per game.
"He's one of those guys that you want to make sure you have to lead your team," Williams said of Myles. "He is an excellent defender and he's shown that he has the ability to both score the basketball and find his teammates. I'm excited to have him in the fold, because I think he adds a lot to what we're trying to do."
Blount joins Jonathan Joseph, Wyatt Sikora, and Grant Lozoya, who all signed earlier in the week, as members of Williams' first full recruiting class as a head coach.
"The talent level is increasing," Williams said of the four players he's brought in. "They were recruited by a lot of good teams, and they weren't easy to get. When you look at the group, they're all skilled, they all have a high basketball IQ, and so this is a group that will bring a more intense value of what we already have on this team. They are kids that we think can take this program to the next level."
Stetson continues its 2013-14 season on Tuesday, hosting cross-county rival Bethune-Cookman at 7:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center.

A one-term City of Tonawanda councilman is the latest challenger to take on a veteran state legislator seeking his 19th term representing the 140th Assembly District.
Charles M. Gilbert, a 41-year-old electrician, represented Tonawanda's First Ward on the Council from 2009 to 2011. Seeking re-election last fall, he lost a close race that was decided by absentee ballots.
In the Assembly race, Gilbert will appear on the Republican and Working Families lines. His Democratic rival is Assemblyman Robin Schimminger of Kenmore, a 65-year-old lawyer who also has the Conservative and Independence lines.
The district encompasses the City and Town of Tonawanda, the Village of Kenmore, most of North Tonawanda and, under the latest redistricting, part of northwestern Buffalo. Both candidates are lifelong residents of the district.
Compared with other state races, this has been a low-key affair of lawn signs and mailings, old-fashioned pounding the pavement and shaking hands.
It's also been a low-cost campaign for the challenger. According to the state Board of Elections, Gilbert has reported $8,775 in contributions – $4,000 of which he said came from his own pocket.
No expense reports have been filed.
Meanwhile, Schimminger's campaign has reported approximately $71,400 in contributions since Jan. 1 and approximately $34,400 in expenses.
As in the campaigns of most challengers to Schimminger before him, Gilbert has come out swinging.
"The big thing is, [Schimminger] says he's a champion for small business, but we're the fifth worst state in the country for small business," Gilbert said, citing a poll by Thumbtack.com and the Kaufmann Foundation, the results of which were reported by CNN in May.
Endorsed by several labor unions, Gilbert added: "The big thing with them is we need to protect our own people here."
"Robin's not doing that," Gilbert said. "He's not helping small business. He's not helping labor."
But Schimminger's endorsements include Unshackle Upstate and the National Federation of Independent Business, which laud his achievements on small business-related issues. He also was endorsed by the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, the region's largest business advocacy group.
Among the accomplishments of Schimminger's current term, the 36-year incumbent cites the "Innovate NY Fund," a seed-stage equity fund to support innovative businesses. It was included in the 2011 state budget through a bill sponsored by Schimminger, who heads the Assembly's Committee on Economic Development.
"There's a real need for seed funding," he said. "Companies will be benefiting from it."
Neither candidate supports a pay raise for the part-time legislators, who currently are paid at least $79,500 annually. But they differ on raising the state's minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 an hour, an issue that may be tied to legislative pay hikes if lawmakers are called back to Albany before the new year.
"There is already a federal minimum wage," said Schimminger, who voted against the increase when it came up in the Assembly in May.
"We should be looking at ways to make New York State more competitive – not less competitive."
Gilbert is for increasing the minimum wage – incrementally.
"I think it needs to be done in a way that's responsible for small business," he said. Increasing it by $1.25 at once "is just irresponsible," he said.

As the Stetson baseball team enters the final home weekend of the 2013 season the Hatters don't quite have their fate in their own hands in terms of the regular season Atlantic Sun Conference title, but they certainly have a chance to have a say over who does, or doesn't win the crown.
The Hatters will host A-Sun newcomer Northern Kentucky (8-40, 3-18) for a three game series this weekend starting tonight at Melching Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Stetson (23-26, 12-9) has won each of its last five A-Sun series and enters the weekend just three games behind league co-leaders North Florida and Mercer. In fact, the four teams in front of Stetson in the league standings all play each other this weekend, with UNF hosting Florida Gulf Coast and Mercer hosting ETSU.
The Hatters are not quite ready to play the "what if" game yet, but if things were to fall just right this weekend, Stetson could go into its series next week with a chance to earn at least a share of the league crown.
Most importantly for Stetson this weekend, however, is securing a berth in the A-Sun Tournament, which will be played at Melching Field beginning on Wednesday, May 22. The tournament championship game, which will determine the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, will be played on Sunday,May 26.
"We are still a work in progress," Stetson coach Pete Dunn said after Wednesday night's loss to No. 7 Florida State. "We are a young team with a lot of new faces. It is obvious that we are not where we have to be or where we want to be, but the important part of the season is still in front of us and we have a legitimate shot."
The Norse came into the 2013 season knowing they would not be eligible for the A-Sun Tournament in their first year in Division I. The season has been tough for NKU in terms of overall record, but the team has lost 13 one-run games during the year. That streak included six such losses in their last nine games, all losses.
"I expect they will be much improved team from the first of the year," Dunn said of the Norse. "They have played a lot of very close games. Our guys certainly won't take them lightly because they understand that we have to be a blue-collar team and work for everything we get. I certainly don't think Northern Kentucky is going to be quaking in their spikes coming to play us either."
Friday's series opener will pit Stetson sophomore right-hander Josh Powers (1-6, 3.11) against NKU senior left-hander Tim Clark (1-0, 3.12). Powers continues to look for his first win since mid-March. He has pitched well, including 7 2/3 innings last week against UNF in a no decision.
Saturday night's game, which is also scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. start following afternoon graduation ceremonies, will be Senior Day. The Hatters five senior players – pitchers Joe Dye, Kurt Schluter and Chad Rood and outfielders James Rasmussen and Mitchel Brennan – will be honored prior to the game. All five players will have received their degrees earlier in the day.
Junior Austin Perez (6-1, 2.64) will take the mound for the Hatters in the evening game against NKU freshman right-hander Aric Harris (1-5, 4.57). Sunday's regular season finale will pit either Rood (0-3, 6.14) or freshman Adam Schaly (2-3, 5.44) against Norse junior left-hander Matt Jefferson (1-7, 3.86).
Despite the fact that the Hatters have dropped three straight games overall, the team has played better, especially offensively, over the last 10 games. During that stretch Rasmussen, who has a 10-game hit streak, is hitting .486 and sophomore Darby McCormick is hitting .433 while getting his first significant playing time in the outfield.
"The thing about Darby is that he is not only swinging the bat well, but he has also turned himself into a pretty good outfielder," Dunn said. "When we started putting him out there we thought he was going to be a liability. We were a little concerned, but he has turned himself into a pretty good left fielder and he is only going to get better."
In addition to that duo, freshmen Patrick Mazeika and Kevin Fagan have continued to hit well at the top of the Stetson batting order. Mazeika has just one hit in his last nine at bats, but is still hitting .395 overall on the year and .382 over the last 10 games. Fagan is hitting .366 over the last 10 games to push his season average close to .300.
In addition, junior infielder K'shawn Smith has started hitting the ball well in the last week.
"We have some guys who are starting to come around, but we still have some guys who are scuffling," Dunn said.
Following the series against Northern Kentucky, the Hatters will close the regular season with a three-game series on the road at Florida Gulf Coast. The Eagles are currently the hottest team in the A-Sun, entering play today riding a 10-game win streak.
