Cubs Trade Pitcher
The Cubs made a move today to clear some much needed....minor league roster space? Rotoworld says the Oakland Athletics have acquired pitcher Rocky Roquet for the ever popular player to be named later.
Roquet, a 26-year old right-hander was always a favorite of Arizona Phil and was a non-roster invitee to camp this spring. He pitched in the Arizona Fall League the last two years and Scout.com had him at #18 in their 2008 prospect rankings.
I'm not sure why the move was made unless the Cubs felt they were full at the minor league levels or Billy Beane really liked Roquet and promised a decent return for the Cubs on that ambiguous future player they'll eventually receive. Or the Cubs know they're going to have to bite the bullet on Chad Gaudin's salary and the deal will just end up being for cash...an unlikely but possible scenario.
UPDATE: Muskat also says the Cubs have released LHP Ed Campusano. I believe over the last month the Cubs have cut ties with their top picks from 2003-2005 (Ryan Harvey, Grant Johnson and Mark Pawelek), plus pitchers Ryan Acosta, Campusano, Micahel Cooper, Jim Henderson, Jordan Latham, John Muller, Audy Santana, Harol Tolentino, catchers Mario Mercedes and Tony Richie, 1B Bryan Jost and SS Erick Almonte.
UPDATE #2: The Cubs VP of Player Personnel Oneri Fleita says the trade was simply due to a minor league roster crunch.
"He's a great kid with a chance to pitch in the major leagues," Cubs Vice President of Player Personnel Oneri Fleita said of Roquet.
"We were simply full and had to create (minor league roster) space.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
I bet we get Eric Patterson out of this.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Pawelek was let go on Sunday, Grant Johnson was let go last week. In other news the Cubs have signed another Korean, 18 year old outfield prospect Ok-suk Wang.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Nice April Fool's.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
The Cubs also cut Ed Campusano. No comment? What is he, chopped liver?? or maybe I just missed it elsewhere...
I know Ed had Tommy John surgery and sat out 2007 so why cut him now after being an NRI to spring training? He's got talent. But maybe Lou put him on his hate list because of the 5 walks.
And I reeeeeeeeeeeeally don't understand dumping Rocky Roquet. His minor league averages speak sweetly (3.14 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 10.5 K's - 7.4 Hits - 0.5 HR's per 9 innings pitched). Can't the obviously depleted Cub organization use some of that??

1) Read [poster's name]. 2) Read post.
1) Read [Navigator]. 2) Skip and move on to next post. 3) Dude, you're really negative.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Did you see where the Cubs ranked with their farm system? Saying "so-and-so is one of the Cub's best pitching prospects" isn't saying a whole hell of a lot. Might as well shake things up.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
And, in other news, navigator is reeeeeaaaally negative, just about all the time...
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Wow. You beat me to it. What am I thinking about right now?
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
I'm glad to see that the Cubs are cutting dead wood, if young ballplayers don't have a chance in hell of making the big club we shouldn't waste time or money developing them.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Good idea.
Let's dump Vitters and Castillo too.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
"Good idea.
Let's dump Vitters and Castillo too."
This is where Rob comes in and suggests getting rid of Samninja too...
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
The Cubs have clearly adapted the idea of a fire sale to their own philosophy. Rather than sell the declining, high-priced big leaguers for a bunch of talented and cheap minor leaguers, they are attempting to clear minor league roster payroll in the hopes of affording another star or at least someone paid like a star. $80k here, $120k there -- it adds up quickly people. Who knows, after we clear out the rest of Tennessee and Daytona's roster, we might be able to afford ... Bernie Williams? Frank Thomas? I don't know, I'm thinking big here.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
A sure sign that spring training this year is ENTIRELY too long--when Cubs fans get uptight about the departure of future hall-of-famer Rocky Roquet.
Nearly all of the Cubs' minor leaguers have zero big league talent. I'm struggling to identify ANY minor leaguer the Cubs have given up on over the last five years who has mattered a hill of beans. Ricky Nolasco is the only one I can think of, maybe Jerry Blevins too.
Clay Rapada was cut by the Tigers today, Scott Moore didn't make it with the Orioles. Orange Guy is back in the minors. Etc...
Frankly, I think the Cubs have been pretty darn good assessors of their minor league talent, or lack thereof, in recent years. No complaints on that end. I just wish they'd draft better in the first place. (Tyler Colvin rant deleted).
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Bummer for Murton.
He goes 3-for-30 with the A's last year, now back down to the minors at age 27. Rough.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
i dunno what the hell COL wants with him anyway. him...in that OF in COL? LF in wrigley was enough of a challenge for the guy.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Actually, by most metrics, Murton was, at worst, a league average defensive left fielder for the Cubs.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
metrics measure him getting there...not the adventure to the resolution.
and OF in COL in any position you better know how to read a ball of the bat.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
100% agree, CRUNCH. I've seen his escapades in the OF in-person and on TV. He is below average, without a doubt.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
yeah...it's not that i dont think he could play OF somewhere...but expanding his OF coverage by putting him in the huge COL outfield is the main reason i find COL wanting him odd. that's a place where you can let guys score from 2nd on a single or let a guy turn a single into a double if you screw up out there.
Not sure its a huge loss
Roquet has a pretty good arm, but the Cubs have quite a few good prospects that are at least comparable in terms of likelihood of future success. Kevin Hart, for example, is better than Roquet. Alex Maestri, Esmalin (sp?) Caridad, Blake Parker, Marcus Mateo are other good right handed prospects. Plus Jeff Stevens (acquired from CLE in Derosa deal).
If we get something decent in return, particularly an OF, LHP or a low level 1B (each of which are places where we have a dearth of prospects), perhaps it will be a good trade.
I actually am more upset at cutting Pawelek and Campusano. But neither of them, nor Rocky Roquet, were people who I expected much from this coming season.
Re: Not sure its a huge loss
paw's "dead arm" turned into a "where's your velocity, kid?"...
ever since he *cough cough* tripped over his playstation *cough cough* he's not been the same.
he's a 88-90mph fastball pitcher now and when he cranks it up he can hit the low 90s.
he's not a mid+90s kid anymore.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Hmmmm...not sure why Jordan Latham was cut. He's someone I had my eye on at the lower levels.
Last year combined b/w Peoria (A) and Daytona (A+):
Career minor league HR/9 is 0.5, BB/9 is 3.7, K/9 is 8.6
He won't turn 23 until late September.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Shit, Rob. Clearly you fucking hate him. I am so sick of you hating on our fucking minor league pitchers.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Prob'ly BECAUSE you hate him!
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Latham's name stuck out to me, too. Not doubting Rob's source--I know he has great sources--just wanted to see it in print somewhere so I looked through all the BA transaction reports back to January and the Felix Pie deal. All of Rob's names except Latham and the very recent duo (Roquet and Campusano) are listed.
It's strange, if true. Latham is too new--his first season was short-season Boise in '07.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Hey, Matt Bush is available! Who says there's no talent to be had?
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
He's a Fort Wayne Tincap (Formerly Fort Wayne Wizards) alumni. He was real good at the low-A level. *rolls eyes*
By the way, likely no one will really care about this but I'll put a plug in anyways. Fort Wayne is building a new ball park for our local low-A Padres affiliate. The Fort Wayne Tincaps will play at Parkview Field downtown Fort Wayne:
Photos of the new facility:
I walked around the construction site last Saturday and I was surprised how little security there was. I was able to walk around the concourse and the place is gorgeous (can a straight guy use that word?). The facilities boast of having the largest jumbotron in low and high A baseball, there will be a park in centerfield for children to play (hopefully they don't get drilled in the head by a home run to CF.
SO if you are ever unlucky enough to be around Fort Wayne during the minor league season... stop in for a game.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
I am from Peoria and follow the Chiefs religiously. For the last 5 years, my father-in-law and I travel to the Midwest League All Star game. Last year it was in Midland, Michigan and the park was unbelievable! Unfortunately, it can be difficult to secure tickets, especially in a new venue. I understand that the 2010 MWL All Star game is in Fort Wayne! They usually reserve all the good seats for the season ticket holders and we have a difficult time getting anything other than general admission. Perhaps you have a source?
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Did it look more "done" on the inside? My son and I were at the library last week and decided to drive by the park. I thought no way it's ready in two weeks or whatever.
Does anyone know
why Zambrano came out after 3.1 innings? He only gave up 1 ER on 2 H and 2 BB, so I doubt (though its not impossible) that he was at the pitch limit.
Re: Does anyone know
No way in hell Lou would allow that. That's one of those high-risk, zero reward moves.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Check out Peavy's line today in his final tune-up for the season---5 innings, 0 runs, 0 bb, 4k's---it says 22 pitches, 22 strikes---he WILL look good in Cubbie Blue!!!
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Peavy was so November. This spring/summer, it's going to be the Halladay Show! Heads up, just based on talent, I'd rather have RH anyways; factor in the contracts, and it seems more than obvious.
Of course, if we did end up with Peavy, we could do a heck of a lot worse.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Halladay is someone I could get on board with - we would still have the problem of too much $$ in the rotation, though. Z or Lilly would have to go, I think, to fit that big contract in.
Re: Bullpen watch
Sorry Rob G. but it was a leadoff error by Hoffpauir the run scored was not earned. Must be watching Comcast sports you got wrong again.
Re: Bullpen watch
Apology accepted peace out. See ya!
Re: Bullpen watch
Blown save for Smardypants. The no K, one unearned run inning got his ERA down to a stellar 7.63 ERA. I too don't understand why Iowa would need to make room for him on the roster. The only place that needs to make room for him is Cooperstown.
Re: Bullpen watch

you don't have to worry about watching your every move because your new friend here will.

bo jackson was so f'n awesome...

Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Don't worry, they make these jet planes rain-proof nowadays. Apparently not bird-proof, but rain shouldn't be an issue.
Re: Cubs Trade Pitcher
Heck, even if an unfortunate birdstrike occurred, Samardzija! could take over the plane and land it safely in a river...

Or Fontenot can part the river, and Samninja can just land the plane on the flat rocky bottom.

Jeff Samardzija: "I am not sure if we can make runway. Oh, what's that over to our right? Anything in Indiana, maybe Hammond?"
Tower: "OK yea, off to your right is Hammond airport. Do you want to try and go to Hammond?"
Jeff Samardzija: "Yes."
Tower: "Hammond, uh, O'Hare actually. Mesa departure got an emergency inbound.
Hammond: "OK, go ahead."
Tower: "Cactus League 1529, Over the Skyway Bridge wants to go to the airport right now."
Hammond: "He wants to go to our airport check. Does he need any assistance?"

Hammond: "Runway one, that's good."
Tower: Cactus League 1529, turn right 2-8-0, you can land runway one at Hammond."

Good Hendricks sure is fun to watch. He was hitting all his corners today and the Phillies couldn't do anything with his changeup.
Bryant and I believe Zobrist both did that too.
Soler BB acumen and plate awareness is excellent. Not unusual for even the best players to react as if they were about to hit them, "even though they weren't that close" from your vantage point sitting on your deck, or wherever.
soler vs inside breaking balls is scary.
he's had 2 inside curve balls today where he reacted as if they were about to hit him even though they weren't that close...one he bailed out of the box on, it was a called strike.
j.urias optioned back to AAA...guess we wont be seeing him in the LAD series.
so is him actually getting 2 hits in a game (2 doubles!)...first time he's even been on base 2 times in a game since 9 games ago on his 3/4, 1bb day.
im ready for him to at least look like a 2-slot hitter since he's gonna be slotted there no matter what he does.
That Heyward move to avoid Bryant's ball hit at him was a thing of beauty too.
9 pitches in and this game already rules.
HR, double...bryant's turn (who came out to a Kris Kross song for some horrible, horrible reason).
...2 run inning...zoobrest hitting streak at 14.
First time I saw Herrera was yesterday. He took like 100 pitches, fouled off a ton off Lester.
Very nice young player and perfect leadoff guy.
Obviously not Phil. But he mentioned this on Wednesday.
"Dominican Summer League (DSL) Opening Day is Saturday June 4th, so probably about 8-10 pitchers and position players presently at EXST in Mesa will be sent to the Cubs Dominican Academy (probably sometime this week) and be assigned to either DSL Cubs #1 or DSL Cubs #2."
In the comments here: http://www.thecubreporter.com/05242016/cub-power-d...
Per FanGraphs, Cubs have a 72.5% chance of winning today. Jinx! Next highest percentage on today's games is D-backs with a 64.7% chance (Greinke vs. Cesar Vargas, in Arizona.)
Phil, when will the Cubs start moving international players from EST to the Dominican for the start of the DSL season?
It was a nice barehand pick-up but he was close enough to 1st where he could underhand the ball to Bryant. The trouble he's had has been with the overhand throw. He's definitely working on it, but I don't know if that play was a good example of progress made.
Phil, have you heard anything about the condition of Oscar De La Cruz's elbow? Has there been talk of a time table? Is he throwing?
i was distracted for most of the game and also missed the first few innings.
but yeah, any time he makes a good fielding+throwing play on D it's worthy of praise and a trip to pizza hut for a personal pan pizza and $1 worth of songs on the juke box.
seriously, i'll take it.
BTW, CRUNCH, Lester made a nice bh pick-up and toss to Bryant. Did you catch it?
He's been workin' on the D!

Hello all, I am experiencing heat loss only at idle. Blows very warm (normal) on acceleration, but turns cool while at idle (stop light). Temp always sits at half, rad fan almost always on, no overheating. Would not think heater core, as heat is warm, no damp floor, or window fogging. Coolant full (not overfull). Vehicle is a convertible. Thanks all for any info.

CAMAS, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says a cement truck blew a front tire and veered into oncoming traffic on State Highway 14, colliding with three passenger cars in a crash that killed an 18-year-old Vancouver woman.
Trooper Ryan Tanner said Kali B. Oberg was pronounced dead at the scene of the Monday afternoon crash in Camas, Wash. She had been driving a Toyota Corolla.
The Columbian says the cement truck driver was identified as 28-year-old Yevgeniu Konkin of Portland. He suffered a broken cheek bone.
The State Patrol says none of the five other people involved in the crash appears to have life-threatening injuries although one of the two passengers in Oberg's car suffered multiple broken bones.
Traffic was detoured around the crash site until the highway reopened late Monday night.

Areas of Practice: Dentists
One of the most unpleasant things is having to select a dentist. Let's face the facts nobody really likes dental work, but there are some methods to make it more bearable. When faced with deciding on a dentist, you have many options available. In this article we'll talk about some keys to deciding on the best dentist.
The initial thing you should do is choose a dentist that is experienced. There are a lot of inexperienced dentists and low quality dental offices. I suggest a dentist who has at least five years of professional experience. This is especially true if you're getting any major dental work done such as root canals or bridges.
It is also a good idea to get referrals from your family and friends. Just like most other services, people tend to visit the same specialists once they find a good one. If you can't get a referral do some research on the web and see what other individuals have said about certain dental offices. If you find one which has a lot of positive reviews, they may be worth looking at.
If you see a dentist selling really low prices, you ought to be wary. Most of the time these dentists are interested more in quantity versus level of quality. The chances are you probably won't get the particular awareness you'll need at places like this. If they use routine sedation, you need to keep away from them. For young kids this is ok, but for the majority of grown ups being sedated is not necessary for dental work.
It is always a smart idea to call the dental offices and read more about their service. If you ask a lot of questions and stick to the hints above, you should have few problems when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 40383.
Have you actually went to Watts Harry M DMD? If so remember to give a precise review.

Parties » Seeing Sparks
Seeing Sparks
Miu Miu celebrated its new film with a who's who of pretty young starlets
What: A party celebrating the 7th edition of Miu Miu's ongoing Women's Tales film series, for which it commissions female directors to make short movies. This time the Italian brand enlisted South Korean director So Young Kim.
Where: At the Diamond Horseshoe, the recently reopened dinner-theater club in the basement of the Paramount Hotel. The space's gold leafed, touch-of-louche glamour was the perfect foil for Kim's melancholic film "Spark and Light."
When: February 11th
Who: Riley Keough, the movie's star, was joined by a squadron of the young and precocious, like Hailee Steinfeld, Sami Gayle, Zosia Mamet, Melonie Diaz, Nicola Peltz, and Anna Kendrick. The Icelandic electronic band mùm, who did an original soundtrack for "Spark and Light," also performed.
Why: "I've never made a short film before," said Kim, who is known for her acclaimed family dramas Treeless Mountain and In Between Days. "At first, when Miu Miu approached me, I wanted to try a comedy—but I ended up doing what I do." The result, which has Keough as a young woman trying to get home to her ailing mother, is filled with familial longing, but also shot through with a magical realism inspired by the colorful, childlike patterns of birds, cats, and fish in Miu Miu's spring 2014 collection. "The feeling I got from the clothes was dreamy and very playful," says Kim. "It just felt like a fable!"Follow Us:

Europe's top court
has ruled in a dispute between Italy and a US biotech giant
that Rome can keep in place its ban on certain GM products
but only if it can provide clear proof of a public health
risk. The decision has prompted both to claim victory in the
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has intervened
in a deadlocked dispute between the Italian government and
US biotechnology giant Monsanto over Rome's three-year-old
decision to ban – on public health grounds – certain
varieties of GM maize available elsewhere in the EU.
The row centres around the Union's "simplified
procedures", which allow biotechnology firms to distribute,
without European Commission approval, GM foods that are "substantially
equivalent" to conventional varieties already on the
market and deemed to be safe by any one Member State.
The ECJ ruled that Italy can continue to uphold its ban but
only if Rome can provide "detailed" evidence of
the risks to public health involved. However, the Court also
confirmed that Monsato's decision to market the GM maize
without Commission approval was in accordance with EU regulations.
"Foods which are produced from genetically modified
organisms but no longer contain them may be placed on the
market… if they are substantially equivalent to comparable
traditional foods: proof of which can be given by a national
food assessment body." Monsato had introduced its maize
– which loses its genetically modified DNA during processing
– into the EU market on the strength of approvals by
French and UK agencies.
The battle continues
The ECJ has referred the matter to the Italian legal system,
which will have to review any evidence the government provides
in defence of the injunction it put in place in 2000. The
Italian government will be required to substantiate its fears
of the environmental or public health impacts of the maize.
Tests of processed maize carried out by Italian scientists
have found residues of GMO proteins. This has prompted Italian
officials to regard the ECJ ruling as vindication for their
ban. "I am very pleased that Italy has won," Environment
Minister Altero Matteoli told journalists.
However, Monsato points to the ECJ verdict to suggest that
the evidence so far uncovered does not justify the Italian
ban. "The mere presence of residues of transgenic protein
in novel foods does not prevent their being placed on the
market," the Court concluded.
Monsato is sceptical that Rome will be able to uncover enough
new facts to keep its decision in place. "It is extremely
unlikely," a company spokesman told Reuters. "These
products have been reviewed by authorities not just in the
EU, but around the world, in the United States, Canada and
"Whatever Monsanto may say, this doesn't mean that these
products are allowed or that the ban is lifted," a spokesman

May 7 2009Spock: Upside Down And Looking Spool-y
Deborah Sperber made this rendering of everyone's favorite elf (sacrilege!), Spock, using 1,102 spools of colored thread. But to view Spock's visage properly, one must gaze into a crystal viewing ball while rubbing it and repeating "I love The Geekologie Writer" three times. Then, I will leap out of the piece, shirtless atop my snow-white unicorn. You will squeal with delight and rush towards me with open arms. Unfortunately, this will spook my mount, which will gore you upon its crystalline horn. I will not touch your dead boob.
Spock Spools [ibored]
Thanks to Mike, who knows quality romance when he reads it.

That's delight, GW, with a t on the end. You have spell check. Use it.
Nice... but one must ask....Why?
So cool!
I would have made a spool pic that puts Jambi from Pee Wee's Playhouse in the crystal ball, but that's work and work is a four-letter word.
GW is awesome!
Best online game ever>>

While you're busy playing your silly game, I'm busy fücking your daughter. Mmm.. I've tasted better baby.

This is AWESOME! Ok not that awesome just cool. When you look in the ball, that is.
this reminds me of the time that i hung my life size cardboard cutout of william shatner as kirk upside down and pretended to 69 with it. i mean....maybe if i made something this geeky my girlfriend would have sex with me without having to get drunk and take a bunch of pills first.
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max went into an area with high amounts of radfiation to fix the warp drive, He knew he would die and he transferred his essence to another guy without telling him, and hilarity ensued.
I can't wait for startrek movie to come out tommorrow.

Louisville, Miss.
A community memorial service will remember the 10 Winston County residents killed in an April 28 tornado.
The service will take place at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Louisville High School.
Louisville Alderwoman Frances Ball says that the pastors of Calvary Apostolic Church and Still Valley Missionary Baptist Church, which were destroyed in the storm, will speak. So will Rev. Mason Joy, the pastor of East Louisville Baptist Church. A family of three victims, including 8-year-old Tyler Tucker, were members of his church.
Ball says Gov. Phil Bryant is scheduled to attend.
Individual funerals for all 10 victims have already been held.
The tornado cut a crescent-shaped swath around the town of 6,600, destroying and damaging hundreds of buildings.

.- Michigan's Thomas More Law Center has decided to take a prominent atheist activist to task on the constitutionality of the phrase "in God we trust" and its role as the U.S.'s national motto.
On May 19th, a California federal district court is scheduled to hear opening arguments in a case brought by California's Michael Newdow who, the law center points out, "almost succeeded in having the Pledge of Allegiance recited by California school children declared unconstitutional."
Ann Arbor based Thomas More has filed a friend of the court brief in Sacramento's federal district court supporting the U.S. government's motion to dismiss the case.
In their brief, the group said that "This nation and its form of government were founded upon an essential idea: individuals have God-given rights that the government may neither bestow nor deny."
Richard Thompson, the law center's Chief Counsel added this week that "Newdow's attempt to eliminate the mere acknowledgement of our religious heritage by our National Motto has no basis in constitutional law."
"Even the Supreme Court, in past decisions, has understood there is an unbroken history of official invocations of Divine guidance beginning with our Founding Fathers and continuing to our present day leaders," he said.


text: A short teaser clip for "For The Animals", the first single from THE CULT's new album, "Choice Of Weapon", can be seen below. The song will go to radio on Monday, March 26.Fan-filmed video footage of THE CULT performing "For The Animals" at the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas on Saturday, March 17 is available at this location. One of the finest British rock acts to have enjoyed worldwide success over the last few decades, THE CULT will release its first studio album in five years, "Choice Of Weapon", on May 22 via the band's new label Cooking Vinyl. "Choice Of Weapon" is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2007 release "Born Into This" that the U.K.'s Mojo magazine called "a wholehearted, utopian and irrefutably exciting record." Longtime THE CULT collaborator and producer Bob Rock (METALLICA, BUSH), who produced one of THE CULT's most successful albums, the platinum-certified "Sonic Temple", put the finishing touches on the foundations that were laid by co-producer Chris Goss (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, U.N.K.L.E., MASTERS OF REALITY). The album was written by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, recorded in New York City, Los Angeles, the California high desert, and the band's Witch Mountain studio between July and December 2011. The new release features founding members Astbury on vocals and Duffy on guitars, with drummer John Tempesta and bassist Chris Wyse. Speaking to Austin360.com, Astbury said of "Choice Of Weapon", "I think we went back to a place of instinct. There were no predetermined agendas. We've had periods of stagnation and being stale and repeating ourselves, but I think that's common. With 'Choice Of Weapon', we just said, '(Screw) it! We're going to grab every jewel we can find. We're going to play the ace and go as deep as we can.' There's definitely hard rock moments on this record, but then again, there's moments that are kind of pastoral." "Choice Of Weapon" is aimed at the heart of THE CULT's loyal following. It reflects the current discontent and destruction of our eco systems, the search for individual meaning against a tide of rampant materialism, narcissism and disconnected lives. "We're still growing and still developing," Astbury told Austin360.com. "We're still students; we're still inquisitive; we're still passionate. I still think what we're doing is relevant. We still have an awareness of what's going on around us. It's not like I live in a cave."

Lenovo Recalls 200,000 ThinkPad Batteries
Last year, both Sony and Dell were almost as hot under the collar as the laptop batteries both were responsible for shipping. Although Sony was primarily to blame -- it manufactured the batteries, which were prone to overheating -- retailer Dell also accepted part of the guilt. Now IBM and Lenovo are at the heart of a recent recall, which has 205,000 notebook batteries affected.
Like the Sony culprits, Lenovo is recalling lithium-ion batteries. The technology is used worldwide in IBM's very popular ThinkPad laptop, a device that appeals to many corporate users because of its ThinkVantage fingerprint security.
Despite the fact that Lenovo and IBM are the names many are contacting for replacements, manufacturer Sanyo is behind the battery's production. Lenovo will take much scorn for the announcement, however, since it was forced to make a similar recall (of over half a million batteries) when Sony's technology proved dangerous last year. (Source: betanews.com)
Is the Sanyo battery dangerous? According to reports, it could be. Although in typical use the batteries pose no threat, if the laptop is dropped it could conceivably set on fire.
The specific models being sought out include the R60 and R60e series, T60 and T60p series, and Z60e, Z61e, Z61m, Z61p editions. (Source: ibm.com)
Approximately 100,000 of the affected units, or nearly half, were shipped under the hood of American notebook computers. Lenovo is telling all of those owning the named computers to immediately remove the battery and instead connect to an AC power source, using this method until a replacement can be obtained.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The story opens in Hell, and the Devil isn't too happy with Magdalena and he steals her soul, planning to take Dinah for his own as well. But having learned from her past experiences these last few weeks, Dinah knows exactly how to use a man, any man, even the Devil, and make him her slave…that is with sex. It is not long before he is hers entirely and after she gives him what she wants, her way, he grants Magdalena her soul back, but in return Magda ages her full seven hundred years and dies, but at least she dies with her soul.Dinah than returns to the surface world buries her friend, makes peace with her father and begins a true relationship with Carl, the father of the daughter in her womb while the devil just watches in loneliness, wishing Dinah would have accepted his offer to be his queen.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Luis is a young 24-year-old entrepreneur. After finishing his secondary studies, he decided to get training in systems because he has been interested in this subject from a young age. After some time, and with his father's financial support, he started his own business: an internet cafe that has been welcomed by the community and, bit by bit, has become positioned in the market. He works in his cafe every day from 10 am to 10 pm. With the passing of time, he has been increasing his services with photocopiers, phone minutes, cell phone accessories, printers, and stationery. This way, he has been able to generate an income to cover his personal costs and pay for his university studies.
He will invest this loan in the purchase of a laminating machine, a fridge, pop, and games. This will allow him to expand his portfolio and offer a more complete service which will solidify his customer base and improve his income.
Luis plans to finish his university studies and become a professional. In the future, he dreams of opening another service point. This will allow him to improve his living conditions and his well-being, as well as that of his family.

Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

i guess i'll have to read this again to see if i feel the same way about it, but this felt to me like an aging white man unable to come to terms with changing sexual and racial equality, and it really rubbed me the wrong way. i don't know if i've been reading too much commentary lately about books written by white men for white men, but i've never read a book that felt more like that than this one. and, i think because of that, all the annoyances (or worse) that i felt toward the main character or the story, i can't seem to separate from coetzee, who i'd never read before.
david lurie has "an affair" with a student of his, which looks exactly like rape, and which is never remotely described that way. (even ignoring the professor/student relationship, she expressly says no, after he plies her with alcohol. i don't know the laws in south africa, but he's committed rape three times over in the usa, and i suspect it's the same there.) so this is a story of a man who loses control of his life, from his job and his home to his relationships with friends and his daughter. the racial stuff i don't know enough about south africa to really evaluate. his character, though - it seems that we're not supposed to think of him as a bad guy (even if not a good guy) although he's completely reprehensible. his salvation in the end? i couldn't be made to give a shit.

Michael K is one of those books that changed me just a little bit as a human being. Reading this in its wake I suppose I was hoping to be changed just that little bit more. My disappointment is no doubt reflected in my rating. There's nothing wrong with the novel. It's a well written exploration of all the permutations of disgrace. There may be a lot more going on that I picked up on. I read somewhere that it can be interpreted as an allegory on South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Committee. I can see certain correspondences but knowing as little as I do about that I can't say whether or not it's a full-blown allegory. Either way, it's a quick, fun read. Shame about the ending.
This book was not for me. The dialogue was wooden, and I felt thoroughly unengaged throughout the whole story. I couldn't get into the mindset of any of the characters. Events would occur - many of them horrific - but they felt rather flat and distant. It's not that I wouldn't recommend the book, but definitely for a different kind of reader than myself.
Set in post-apartheid South Africa, J. M. Coetzee's searing novel tells the story of David Lurie, a twice divorced, 52-year-old professor of communications and Romantic Poetry at Cape Technical University. Lurie believes he has created a comfortable, if somewhat passionless, life for himself. He lives within his financial and emotional means. Though his position at the university has been reduced, he teaches his classes dutifully; and while age has diminished his attractiveness, weekly visits to a prostitute satisfy his sexual needs. He considers himself happy. But when Lurie seduces one of his students, he sets in motion a chain of events that will shatter his complacency and leave him utterly disgraced.
Lurie pursues his relationship with the young Melanie—whom he describes as having hips "as slim as a twelve-year-old's"—obsessively and narcissistically, ignoring, on one occasion, her wish not to have sex. When Melanie and her father lodge a complaint against him, Lurie is brought before an academic committee where he admits he is guilty of all the charges but refuses to express any repentance for his acts. In the furor of the scandal, jeered at by students, threatened by Melanie's boyfriend, ridiculed by his ex-wife, Lurie is forced to resign and flees Cape Town for his daughter Lucy's smallholding in the country. There he struggles to rekindle his relationship with Lucy and to understand the changing relations of blacks and whites in the new South Africa. But when three black strangers appear at their house asking to make a phone call, a harrowing afternoon of violence follows which leaves both of them badly shaken and further estranged from one another. After a brief return to Cape Town, where Lurie discovers his home has also been vandalized, he decides to stay on with his daughter, who is pregnant with the child of one of her attackers. Now thoroughly humiliated, Lurie devotes himself to volunteering at the animal clinic, where he helps put down diseased and unwanted dogs. It is here, Coetzee seems to suggest, that Lurie gains a redeeming sense of compassion absent from his life up to this point.
This book was not for me. The dialogue was wooden, and I felt thoroughly unengaged throughout the whole story. I couldn't get into the mindset of any of the characters. Events would occur - many of them horrific - but they felt rather flat and distant. It's not that I wouldn't recommend the book, but definitely for a different kind of reader than myself.
The book is written with Coetzee's accustomed steely restraint, and is, like all his work, a masterpiece of understatement. However, there is here what seems a new note of authorial irritation, not only, as might be expected, with the perennial intractability of language and the constraints of the novel form, but with the social changes that are occurring in his country, and in the world at large.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0143115286, Paperback)David Lurie is hardly the hero of his own life, or anyone else's. At 52, the protagonist of Disgrace is at the end of his professional and romantic game, and seems to be deliberately courting disaster. Long a professor of modern languages at Cape Town University College, he has recently been relegated to adjunct professor of communications at the same institution, now pointedly renamed Cape Technical University:
Although he devotes hours of each day to his new discipline, he finds its first premise, as enunciated in the Communications 101 handbook, preposterous: "Human society has created language in order that we may communicate our thoughts, feelings and intentions to each other." His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.Twice married and twice divorced, his magnetic looks on the wane, David rather cruelly seduces one of his students, and his conduct unbecoming is soon uncovered. In his eighth novel, J.M. Coetzee might have been content to write a searching academic satire. But in Disgrace he is intent on much more, and his art is as uncompromising as his main character, though infinitely more complex. Refusing to play the public-repentance game, David gets himself fired--a final gesture of contempt. Now, he thinks, he will write something on Byron's last years. Not empty, unread criticism, "prose measured by the yard," but a libretto. To do so, he heads for the Eastern Cape and his daughter's farm. In her mid-20s, Lucy has turned her back on city sophistications: with five hectares, she makes her living by growing flowers and produce and boarding dogs. "Nothing," David thinks, "could be more simple." But nothing, in fact, is more complicated--or, in the new South Africa, more dangerous. Far from being the refuge he has sought, little is safe in Salem. Just as David has settled into his temporary role as farmworker and unenthusiastic animal-shelter volunteer, he and Lucy are attacked by three black men. Unable to protect his daughter, David's disgrace is complete. Hers, however, is far worse.
There is much more to be explored in Coetzee's painful novel, and few consolations. It would be easy to pick up on his title and view Disgrace as a complicated working-out of personal and political shame and responsibility. But the author is concerned with his country's history, brutalities, and betrayals. Coetzee is also intent on what measure of soul and rights we allow animals. After the attack, David takes his role at the shelter more seriously, at last achieving an unlikely home and some measure of love. In Coetzee's recent Princeton lectures, The Lives of Animals, an aging novelist tells her audience that the question that occupies all lab and zoo creatures is, "Where is home, and how do I get there?" David, though still all-powerful compared to those he helps dispose of, is equally trapped, equally lost.
Disgrace is almost willfully plain. Yet it possesses its own lean, heartbreaking lyricism, most of all in its descriptions of unwanted animals. At the start of the novel, David tells his student that poetry either speaks instantly to the reader--"a flash of revelation and a flash of response"--or not at all. Coetzee's book speaks differently, its layers and sadnesses endlessly unfolding. --Kerry Fried

At fifty-two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking in passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless. Except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells "truths [that] cut to the bone." (The New York Times Book Review)… (more)

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — A privately funded museum in Klamath Falls showcasing Gene Favell's lifetime collection of Western art and American Indian artifacts is in danger of closing.
The Herald and News (http://bit.ly/GQEuX2) reported Monday the Favell Museum's board is looking for new sources of revenue to keep its doors open to the public.
Museum officials say a nonprofit foundation was formed after Favell's death in 2001. But since then a leading supporter, window and door manufacturer Dick Wendt, has died, and the recession has made fundraising more difficult.
The museum currently relies on revenues from admissions, gift shop sales and its banquet room.
The museum features original oil paintings by such artists as Charles M. Russell, as well as about 100,000 American Indian artifacts.

I reedited my question due to the lack of clarity. the code below get a random number then checks if it is a new high and records it if it is one. Then after a certain delay (1min) it does the same thing again, starting from the last number of the previous period.
I want to run the same for different frequency so i will have many periods, should i rewrite the code below in function for instance, i could get agregateinfrequency(5min), it will return only the print below (or list)
Hope it makes more sense now.
for random_number, current_time,i in generator():
previous_last_price = mynumber
mynumber = mynumber + (random_number*0.0001)
#print (random_number*0.01)
if mynumber >high_price: #new one
high_price = mynumber
if mynumber <low_price: #new one
low_price = mynumber
last_price = mynumber
if keyfunc(current_time,1) != previous_reftime1min: #new one
print mynumber,",",i, current_time,",", keyfunc(current_time,1),",", previous_reftime1min,",", open_price,",", high_price,",", low_price,",", last_price
wrtr.writerow([mynumber, i,current_time, keyfunc(current_time,1), previous_reftime1min, open_price, high_price, low_price, last_price])
myfile.flush() # whenever you want, and/or
open_price = previous_last_price
high_price = mynumber
low_price = mynumber
last_price = mynumber
previous_reftime1min = keyfunc(current_time,1)

I Had Some Excess Filler Dissolved a Month Ago and the Area Seems to Be Quite Flat and I'm Experiencing a Tingling Sensation in the same area. Will my natural tissue renew itself and the tingling subside? How long does it take to get back to normal? Very worried!!
Tingling Sensation After Excess Filler Dissolved
Doctor Answers 2
In Europe you have many fillers that we in the US do ot have. We do not know what filler you had and what was used to disolve it. Your tissue will NOT disolve only Hyaluronic acid can be disolved but it does not disolve your tissue . After disolving Hyaluronic acid you should go back to where you were before the filler.The tingling is not normal ask your doctor.

This review is from: Safco 8933BL Multimedia Cart, 3-Shelf, 27-3/4w x 18-1/2d x 32-1/2h, Black
Pros: Product was here quickly
Cons: The cart has cheap plastic parts that don't fit into each other tightly which causes the cart to wobble. I bought this to hold computer monitors on and wouldn't trust it to hold a book.
