Crystal Ballin' & Spit Ballin' the Cubs 40-man Roster
A look ahead at the Cubs 40-man roster over the next six months:
The Cubs presently have 40-players on their MLB Reserve List ("40-man roster") plus another four players on their MLB 60-day Disabled List (players on 60-day DL do not count against 40-man roster). Players on the 60-day DL must be reinstated to the 40-man roster no later than the 5th day following the conclusion of the 2013 World Series,
At present the Cubs have eight players (nine if the Cubs buy-out the final season of David DeJesus' contract) who will be be Article XX-B free-agents after the 2013 season.
Per Article XX-B of the CBA, any player on an MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) who has accrued at least six years of MLB Service Time and who is not signed for the following season automatically becomes a free-agent the day after the conclusion of the World Series. The player's former club retains exclusive negotiating rights with the player for the first five days after the conclusion of the World Series, after-which the player is free to sign a Major League contract (or minor league contract) with any club, including with the player's former club.
CUBS ARTICLE XX-B MLB FREE-AGENTS POST-2013 (last updated 5-6-2013):
Scott Baker, RHP
Shawn Camp, RHP
David DeJesus, OF (club option)
Matt Garza, RHP
Kevin Gregg, RHP
Scott Feldman, RHP
Carlos Marmol, RHP
Dioner Navarro, C
Ryan Sweeney, OF
An Article XX-B MLB free-agent who signs a Major League contract after the conclusion of the exclusive negotiation period that extends through the 5th day following the conclusion of the World Series receives automatic "no trade" rights that extend through June 15th of the following season, even if the player re-signs with his former club. An Article XX-B MLB Free-Agent who receives "no trade" rights this way can waive the right, but if he does, his club can trade the player only for player contracts and/or cash with a maximum aggregate value of $50,000. Note that a player who signs a Major League contract after becoming a free-agent by any other means (Outright Release, Non-Tendered, or Article XX-D or MLB Rule 55 minor league free-agent) does NOT receive automatic "no trade" rights through June 15th.
If an Article XX-B MLB free-agent signs a minor league contract at least 10 days prior to MLB Opening Day, and then is either not released by 12 PM (EDT) on the 5th day prior to MLB Opening Day or added to an MLB Active List (25-man roster) or MLB Disabled List by MLB Opening Day, the player automatically receives a $100,000 retention bonus, and the player can unilaterally opt-out of the minor league contract on June 1st if he has not been added to an MLB Active List (25-man roster) or an MLB Disabled List by that date.
A club receives one compensatory draft pick between the 1st and 2nd rounds in the next First-Year Player Draft (MLB Rule 4 Draft) if an Article XX-B MLB free-agent subject to compensation signs a Major League contract with another MLB club. The MLB club that signs the player forfeits its 1st round selection in the Rule 4 Draft, unless it selects in the Top 10 of the 1st Round, in which case it will forfeit its next-highest pick. Additional draft picks will be forfeited in subsequent rounds if the club signs more than one Article XX-B MLB free-agent who is subject to compensation.
For a club to be eligible to receive compensation, an Article XX-B MLB free-agent must have spent the entire immediately-preceding MLB regular season on that club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) and/or on one or more of the club's inactive lists (7-day, 15-day, and/or 60-day Disabled List, Military List, Bereavement List, et al), the club must offer the player a guaranteed contract for the following season with a salary at least equal to the average salary of the 125 highest-paid MLB players from the previous season (expected to be about $13.5M in 2012), and the contract (known as a "Qualifying Offer") must be tendered no later than the 5th day following the conclusion of the World Series.
If a club extends a "Qualifying Offer" to an Article XX-B MLB Free-Agent subject to compensation, the player has seven days to decide whether to accept or decline the offer. If the player accepts the offer, he is considered "signed" and must be immediately added back to his club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster). If he declines the offer, the player is free to sign with any MLB club, including his former club. MLB clubs are not permitted to extend a Qualifying Offer to an Article XX-B MLB free-agent if the player has agreed in advance to decline the offer so that the club will obtain a draft pick once the player signs with another club.
If an Article XX-B MLB Free-Agent subject to compensation signs a minor league contract with a new club, or if the free-agent signs a Major League contract with a new club after the MLB Rule 4 Draft, the player's new club does not forfeit a Rule 4 Draft pick, and the player's former club does not receive draft pick compensation. However, MLB clubs are not permitted to sign an Article XX-B MLB Free-Agent who is subject to compensation to a minor league contract just to avoid losing a draft pick.
COMMENT: The Cubs will probably actively shop all nine of these players prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and probably even until the August 31 deadline for post-season eligibility. That doesn't mean all of them will get traded, though. (Shawn Camp was having a really nice year as a middle-reliever last season and was going to be a free-agent after the season but he didn't get traded). BTW, if the Cubs do not get what they consider to be satisfactory offers for Matt Garza and/or Scott Feldman, they could retain both of them and extend Qualifying Offers to both pitchers after the World Series and (worse case) pick up a draft pick. It's not like they HAVE to trade either of them.
There are presently nine Cubs players who are signed beyond this season. Last year Paul Maholm was signed beyond the 2013 seasn, but he was traded anyway, so being signed beyond 2013 does not make a player less-likely to be traded. In fact, it might make the player even more attactive than a player eligible to be a free-agent after the season, because the player's new club would retain control over the player beyond just this season.
+ Has "No Trade" rights
+ Alfonso Soriano,OF ($18M in 2014, then FA post-2014)
Edwin Jackson, RHP ($11M salary each season 2014-16, then FA post-2016 - NOTE: 100% of signing bonus was paid up front)
David DeJesus, OF ($6.5M club option for 2014 and FA post-2014, or $1.5M post-2013 buy-out and FA post-2013)
Starlin Castro, SS($5M in 2014, $6M in 2015, $7M in 2016, $9M in 2017, $10M in 2018, $11M in 2019, and $16M club option for 2020, with $2M additional in both 2019 and 2020 if Top 5 MVP twice 2013-19)
Carlos Villanueva, RHP (5M in 2014, then FA)
Kyuji Fujikawa, RHP ($4M salary in 2014 plus $2M in performance bonuses based upon GF, and $5.5M vesting option plus $500K in performance bonuses in 2015, or $5.5M club option for 2015 or $500K buy-out post-2014)
Scott Hairston, OF ($2.5M salary in 2014 plus $1.25M in performance bonuses, then FA post-2014)
Jorge Soler, OF ($2M each in 2014-15, $3M in each in 2016-17, and $4M each in 2018-20, and player option to opt out if eligible for salary arbitration)
Anthony Rizzo, 1B ($1.75M salary and $1.25M second-installment of signing bonus in 2014, $5M each in 2015-16, $7M each in 2017-18, $11M in 2019, and $14.5M each in 2020-21 with $2M club option buy-out for each season 2020-21, and 2019-21 salaries increase by $1M per season if one MVP or two Top 5 MVP 2013-19, and player may void 2021 club option with Top 2 finish in MVP 2013-19 or if traded)
OTHER (OUTRIGHTED PLAYERS): LHP Gerardo Concepcion $500K each in 2014-15 and $1M in 2016 (all remaining salary to be paid at time of termination if released)
COMMENT: The Cubs will probably continue to try and trade Soriano (although he has a 100% "no trade" right in his contract), and as he gets closer to free-agency, it probably will be easier to do it. Carlos Villanueva and Scott Hairston will also likely be shopped by the Cubs, even though they are signed through the 2014 season. Edwin Jackson might be available, too, although he is signed for three more seasons and is only 29 years old.
An unsigned player under club control who has accrued at least three but less than six years of MLB Service Time is automatically eligible for salary arbitration. Also, any unsigned player with at least two years but less than three years of MLB Service Time who accrued at least 86 days of MLB Service Time the previous season can qualify for salary arbitration as a so-called "Super Two" if the player is among the top 22% in MLB Service Time of players in that group.
CUBS ELIGIBLE FOR SALARY-ARBITRATION POST-2013 (last updated 6-11-2013):
Darwin Barney, INF - FA post-2016
Julio Borbon, OF (will very likely qualify as a "Super Two") - FA post-2017
Cody Ransom, INF - FA post-2014
Henry Rodriguez, RHP - FA post-2016
James Russell, LHP - FA post-2015
Jeff Samardzija, RHP - FA post-2015
Nate Schierholtz, OF - FA post-2014
Luis Valbuena, INF - FA post-2016
Travis Wood, LHP - FA post-2016
If a club and a player eligible for salary arbitration cannot agree on a contract, the player can request the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) to file for salary arbitration. The MLBPA is responsible for delivering all requests for salary arbitration to the MLB Labor Relations Department (MLB LRD) on the Tuesday immediately prior to the third Friday in January. Once salary arbitration has been requested, the player submits his desired salary to the MLBPA and the club submits its salary offer to the MLB LRD, and the MLBPA and MLB LRD exchange the two figures on the third Friday in January. The MLBPA and MLB LRD then schedule hearings with a three-person arbitration panel, and the hearings are held on various dates during the first three weeks of February.
The club's offer must be at least the MLB minimum salary and, in most cases, must be at least 80% of the player's previous year's salary and at least 70% of the player's salary from two seasons back. However, if the player received a raise in excess of 50% by a salary arbitration panel the previous season, a 20% maximum salary reduction from the previous season and a 30% maximum salary reduction from two seasons back does not apply, and the club only has to offer at least the MLB minimum salary.
After arbitration has been requested, the player and the club can continue to negotiate back & forth, and the player can withdraw from the process any time up until the hearing. And in fact this frequently happens, as the player and the club will often agree to just "split the difference" (something the panel cannot do). If the matter does go to a hearing, the arbitration panel must choose either the club's offer or the player's figure.
Win or lose, the player is awarded a standard one-year MLB contract with no "minor league split" salary or incentive/performance bonuses. Also, the contract is not guaranteed, so if the player is released during Spring Training, the club would only owe the player 30 days or 45 days salary as termination pay, depending on when the player is released. (A player on an MLB 40-man roster receives 100% of what remains of his salary if he is released during the regular season).
COMMENT: Players eligible for salary arbitration are the guys who usually get non-tendered on December 2nd. Clubs will often try and sign the player to a club-friendly contract (sometimes even a minor league contract) after being non-tendered, and that could be the case for Borbon and H. Rodriguez. Because of his age (he's 37), Ransom will probably be dropped from the roster even before contracts are tendered (or he could even be traded), although even if he is dropped from the 40 the Cubs might try and re-sign him to a 2014 minor league contract with an NRI to Spring Training.
Samardzija, T. Wood, Barney, and Russell won't be non-tendered and they might even get multi-year contract extension offers during the off-season. Schierholtz and Valbuena won't be non-tendered either, but they also probably won't get multi-year extensions. So while both of them have done nice jobs for the Cubs and likely have a spot waiting for them on the Cubs 2014 25-man roster, Schierholtz and/or Valbuena could get traded if the Cubs get a decent offer.
An unsigned player under club control who does not yet qualify for salary arbitration ultimately has to either accept the club's offer or just not play.
A club (usually the Assistant GM) will negotiate with the player up to a point, but if the club and the player cannot agree on a deal by the first week of March, the club has the right to unilaterally dictate the player's salary and/or renew the player's contract (albeit for an amount not less than the MLB minimum salary, and not less than 80% of the player's previous season's salary and not less than 70% of the player's salary from two season's back). These players are the ones who have a "minor league split" salary in their contract, which the player is paid if he is sent to the minors. The "minor league split" salary must be at least 60% of the player's salary from the previous season.

NOTE: 2014 MLB minimum salary is $500K for players on 25-man roster or MLB DL, and minor split minimum for players on Optional Assignment to minors is $80K (or $40K for players on 40-man roster for first time)
COMMENT: Sappelt and Putnam are the two players on this list who are likely to get outrighted after the season. Everybody else will probably get another year to show what they can do, although the Cubs would probably like to move Vitters, but without giving him away.
Players on a 40-man roster who have accrued at least five years of MLB Service Time cannot be optioned to the minors without their permission.
Julio Borbon
Alberto Cabrera
Welington Castillo
Rafael Dolis
Henry Rodriguez
Jeff Samardzija

Travis Wood
Also, although they will not be out of minor league options in 2014, Optional Assignment Waivers would have to be secured before Darwin Barney Starlin Castroi, and/or James Russell can be optioned to the minors in 2014.
COMMENT: Alberto Cabrera and Rafael Dolis will be out of options in 2014, so the Cubs will want to get a good reading on both pitchers (especially Cabrera) through the rest of this season and at Spring Training 2014. The Cubs will not be able to option either pitcher to Iowa in 2014, so they will go into the 2014 season not much different than a Rule 5 pick. If Dolis' forearm injury is serious enough to require surgery, he would probably get outrighted or non-tendered post-2013.

NOTE: Article XX-D players can elect free-agency beginning on day after conclusion of MLB regular season through October 15th, unless player is added back to an MLB 40-man roster prior to conclusion of MLB regular season
NOTE: A minor league player eligible to be a free-agent per MLB Rule 55 is automatically declared a free-agent at 5 PM on the 5th day followeing the conclusion of the World Series, unless the player is added to an MLB 40-man roster prior to the deadline

COMMENT: Some of the older players presently at Iowa who are eligible to be minor league free-agents post-2013 will be called-up to Chicago in July and August to fill roster slots after players are traded, but most of the ones who do get called up will likely get outrighted or released after the season. Among the less-advanced minor leaguers eligible to be free-agents, only LHP (ex-OF) Kyler Burke would appear to have long-term value. I would expect Burke to be added to the 40-man roster prior to the deadline (5 PM on the 5th day following the conclusion of the World Series), although the Cubs might want him to pitch in the AFL first. The Cubs might want to re-sign some of their minor league free-agents to 2014 minor league contracts, but even if the Cubs invite him to return, it would be entirely up to the player whether to return to the Cubs organization in 2014. The only way to guarantee that a minor league FA will remain under club control is to add the player to the MLB 40-man roster prior to the deadline (5 PM ET on the 5th day following the conclusion of the World Series).
NOTE: A minor league player eligible for selection in the MLB Rule 5 Draft is not eligible for selection if he is added to an MLB 40-man roster by November 20th.

NOTE: Juan Carlos Paniagua signed his first contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks as "Juan Callado" on 5-8-2009 and pitched for the DSL Diamondbacks in the Dominican Summer League in 2009-10, but the contract was "pending" for almost two years and was never officially approved by MLB. The contract was eventually rejected by MLB due to "fraudulent paperwork" and Paniagua (Callado) was suspended for one year and then was declared a free-agent. He signed with the New York Yankees in March 2011 but then was suspended again and that contract was rejected, too, because his birth certificate could not be verified. Paniagua was cleared by MLB in 2012 and he signed with the Cubs on 7-9-2012. Therefore, Paniagua could be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time in December 2013, since 2009 was his "first season" on the field, and he was 18 on the June 5th immediately preceding the signing of his first contract, or he might not be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time until December 2015 if 2012 is considered Paniagua's "first season" for Rule 5 eligibility purposes. (MLB must make ruling prior to November 20th).
COMMENT: SS Arismendy Alcantara is a virtual lock to be added to the 40-man roster by the 11/20 deadline (he has emerged as a Cubs Top 10 Prospect), and OF Jae-Hoon Ha and LHRP Zac Rosscup are two others on the list who will probably get added (although both might have to first prove themselves in the AFL). I don't think there are any others who will get added to the 40 this time around.

damn...that's about 400-500K
damn...that's about 400-500K more than most people in round 3 have signed for so far.
it's pretty much early/mid 2nd round loot...and 100K less than the cubs very early 2nd round pick Z-nasty.
they also signed their 4th round pick for $800K...which is about 300-400K more than expected.
here's a tracker btw,
it's $263,800 over slot ($736
it's $263,800 over slot ($736,200), they paid $261,900 under slot for Zastryzny, doesn't seem that crazy since he had some leverage. So far 4th rounder Skulina is the biggest overslot at $323K, although if 12th rounder Clifton did get "3rd round money", he'll probably net the biggest difference.
Bryant is probably going to come in under $6M, so Cubs should save there as well.
Also, the Cubs I'm sure will gladly pay the 75% tax if they go over by 5% or less, so it's more like $11,084,325 in bonus money. They're currently $241K over according to the confirmed signings by BA. What I have going on the left sidebar is a little looser on the restrictions.
I thought the Hannemann bonus
I thought the Hannemann bonus was high because of comments his father made right after the draft about what he'd be signing for. More like slot. Which was higher than most thought because they had him ranked lower on draft boards.
The guy is already 22 with minimal baseball experience. I'll be rooting for him to turn into the next Ellsbury (without the injuries). But...
Bonus amount has been added.

Re: Bryant signing
I believe he'll end up with the highest bonus in the draft, that the Cubs knew going in roughly what it would cost, and that there is absolutely no chance he plays in Chicago this year.
Re: Hannemann and how soon before we see Baez, Soler, Almora, Arismendy, Rizzo and Bryant altogether in the lineup
[Hannemann] is not advanced. You're probably looking at 2016 before you get all of those guys in the lineup, and that's assuming zero attrition.

Baseball America Prospect Hot
Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet:
Or in this case Not Hot
• Brett Jackson, cf, Cubs: With the outfield prospects the Cubs have coming behind him, Jackson, 24, would be well served to make a move on a big league job sooner than later. Instead, he's hitting .217 and striking out in roughly a third of his at-bats for Triple-A Iowa. His misery this week included 14 strikeouts as part of a 2-for-25 (.080) showing.
Hot Sheet Chat:
Who has the best farm system now, after the draft?
Matt Eddy: I don't know the answer to your question, but I know which organization's hitting talent I feel the most confident in, and that would be the Cubs with 3B Kris Bryant, SS Javier Baez, CF Albert Almora and RF Jorge Soler. They also have a nice second wave with guys like 1B Dan Vogelbach and 3B Jeimer Candelario. Many organizations have more balance (and thus deserve higher rankings) because of pitching depth, but pitchers are volatile, and this group of hitting assets is fairly stable.
How much longer until Brett Jackson goes from Not Hot to not a prospect?
Matt Eddy: The early returns are not promising, but I'd let Cubs CF Brett Jackson work through his issues with his new swing at Triple-A Iowa before passing final judgment. The Cubs have had some success in this department, having worked some remedial magic with Anthony Rizzo previously.
Thanks for the chat. With SS leagues getting started, are there any players we should pay special attention to?
Matt Eddy: In addition to Rosario, Lin and Margot from the previous answer, I'd also nominate Boise RHP Paul Blackburn (Cubs) and Missoula C Styker Trahan (D-backs). We'll actually have an entire post about this next week, highlighting one short-season leagues prospect to watch for each organization.
"I'd let Cubs CF Brett
"I'd let Cubs CF Brett Jackson work through his issues with his new swing at Triple-A Iowa before passing final judgment."
he hasn't had a single hot streak all season...except for a few games in may which didn't even include any HRs.
it's been horrible from the start and not getting any better.
sucks...decent D, decent arm, above-average speed, some pop...relies on contact, but not good at making contact...and not getting any better as the season goes on.
I can see why people have a
I can see why people have a hard time letting go of him. He just looks like a baseball player out there. Even at the plate. It's just that he misses the damn ball with that pretty swing. I still wonder if they've checked his vision. I can't imagine they haven't, but he just misses the ball completely. I read an article on Miguel Cabrera - they said he can pick up the spinning seams on a fastball from pretty much the point the pitcher releases his pitch, his vision is so uncannily acute. I think Jackson see this big, fuzzy thing coming his way and tries his damnedest to hit it, and just can't find it.
Tim Wilken is reminding me
Tim Wilken is reminding me more and more of Clint Easwood in "Trouble with the Curve". His Hendry picks in the first round with the Cubs just fucking blow. Not drafting Matt Weiters alone was a huge fuck-up. I am glad TheoCorp., relegated him back to where he can't harm anyone with picks like Hayden Simpson anymore.
Yeah, but they keep him
Yeah, but they keep him around in the back in case his hot daughter stumbles into the next Matt Weiters.

Yeah, but they keep him around in the back in case his hot daughter stumbles into the next Matt Weiters.
BTW, Weiters line this year: .233 .288 .404 .692, so he's doing a bit of the Castro Dance.
Samardzija, Barney, Donaldson
Samardzija, Barney, Donaldson, Cashner, Russell seem to be the best so far
Baez looking good, but a long way to go.
Vitters vs. Wieters probably came down to money, at least that's the rumor, Wilken probably didn't get to make the final call on that one.
Simpson was obviously the real big fuck-up.
Here's the full list of players drafted that at least reached the majors.
Colvin, Samardzija, B. Parker, S. Clevenger, Vitters, Donaldson, Guyer, Barney, J. Russell, Cashner, Flaherty, C. Carpenter, J. Harrison, T. Campana, C. Coleman, J. Beliveau, B. Jackson, LeMahieu, Rusin, Raley
A. Wilson as well, but after being redrafted by Boston, and E. Hamren with Padres after being released by Cubs.

eduardo rodriguez come on over...
i imagine it would take more than that, but he would most likely be the key to the deal. middle rotation lefty type that's a couple of years away from tasting the bigs.
aside from bundy/gausman...which BAL probably don't want to shift...he's about all that's worth mentioning in the system that the cubs have a need for...unless they have an interest in jonathan schoop to play 2nd (most likely valued more highly by BAL than e.rod).
Recent comments
CHILDERS: Dylan Cease and Bryan Hudson are probably the Cubs top two SP prospects in the organization right now.
LHSP Jose Paulino has electric stuff (91-94 MPH fastball with sinking action and a mid-80'sslider), but has trouble commanding his stuff.
RHP Jose Albertos (2015 IFA - Mexico - $1.5M bonus) just turned 17, and his fastbball sits at 95-96. He also throws a curve and a change-up, and is fairly advanced for a kid his age.
AZBOBBOP: Most of 2016 draft picks will get assigned to either Eugene or AZL Cubs, but the Opening Day Eugune roster will probably be almost 100% from the Extended Spring Training squad roster (pending the arrival of draft picks).
I think I can probably tell you which pitchers and players at EXST are in contention for roster slots at Eugene and which are in contention for slots with the AZL Cubs - AS THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW - (listed alphabetically):
* bats or throws left
# bats both
Eloy Jimenez atop the leader board for minor-league home runs in the Cub system, with seven. Tied with Balaguert and Vogelbach, two 24-year-olds. Jimenez won't be 20 until late November. Leads the Midwest League in SLG and OPS. Maybe he'll get promoted to the Myrtle Beach squad that visits Woodbridge, VA, in June or Frederick, MD, in August.
Watched two Pelican games at Frederick the other week. Was most impressed by Stinnett and Happ. Happ may swing harder than Javier Baez, though more compactly. (Also got to see Brockmeyer hit a bomb.)
E-MAN: Jose Paniagua isn't a string-bean, but I wouldn't say he necessarily bulked-up during the 2015-16 off-season either, He led the DSL Cubs in HR and doubles in 2014, and he showed XBH power when he arrived in Mesa last year, leading the AZL Cubs in HR, doubles, and RBI in 2015. It's just that he has taken his HR power to a new level this year.
Paniagua displayed plus-HR power in Cactus League Minor League Spring Training games in March, and that got him a slot on the South Bend Opening Day roster. But he was sent to EXST after only six MWL games.
More on the Cub Way.
Martinez is one of my least favorite pitchers in baseball. I'd love to see a game like yesterday's against him.
Send Soler down!
Awesome thanks AZ
Great report, Phil! This organization has so many hitters to be excited about.
Ben Zobrist is very enjoyable to watch!!!!!!
given that he seems to only be throwing low 90s these days rather than the 93-96mph he used to throw, along with his wildness issues this year, he may end up passing through.
i dunno if something is wrong with him physically or his past shoulder issues has rendered him what he currently is, but he's been throwing a lot of sliders he can't control well and his fastball isn't as sharp. even when his slider wasn't working in a game he was still throwing a lot of them.
Any scuttlebutt on where Neil Ramirez gets traded?
He seems better than some of the relievers on competitive teams. He ought to bring more than the waiver fee.
My guess? Toronto.
PHIL: It seems as if Paniagua has always played 1B with the Cubs. At 6'2 and 180#, what is his frame like? String bean? Have you seen him bulk up? Where do you project him? Thanks.
Phil, what's your thoughts on which position players are going to Eugene and who is staying in AZL?
Ahhh...way to bring me down BB.
Still - a win tomorrow will be an acheivement regardless.
Don't mean to spoil your mood, but with tonight's win the are 3-5 on the trip with one to play.
While I'm bringing the room down -- Richard comes in to pitch the 9th with a 12-1 lead...and can't finish the game. Woof.
For some reason

Can't is the new dirty word
Thursday, August 02, 2012
I have had can't in my vocabulary for so long, I can't do X I can't do that I can't I can't I can't. Every day I have said I can't about so many things. But I have told my kids can't just means you just don't want to and that if they say I can't then they will never know if they can. But I never followed my own advice because ever day I said the same thing. I can't! One simple word that can be so damaging. I nstead of telling my self the flat out truth, that I just did not want to do it I said I can't. I have convinced my self for so long that I just can't walk, I cant go run around with my kids. I can't go do X today because I can't.
I am trying to not say Can't for a whole day that can't is as bad as a curse word. I don't say can't now I say I might not be able to fully do that today but soon I will. Every day I am getting stronger, every day I am getting healthyer. 4 months ago I would have said I can't walk the mile at the track. My back and knees Can't to that. But the truth was I have become to comfortable not do anything. Laying in my room reading a book a day, playing on the laptop. Watching the world go by becasue I said I can't.
But I know now that I can, every day I am putting more verbs in my activitys. I still get to read every day but it is actually more enjoyable after a workout or walk. That one word holds so much power over you if you let it. Because while you are telling your self I can't life is still going on without you and you have to decide if you are going to continue missing out on the good part pr even the bad parts of life just because you hace convinced your self you can't? Or are you going to say no more Can't I am going to DO! Can't can hold you back from so much in life so much you are missing.
While I was walking last night I saw a beautiful moon in the sky and I thought if I was at home sitting in my room closed off from the world I would not have seen such a beautiful sky. From now on in my life I am going to DO. Can't is no longer a word I will say even though it is so much more easyer to just say I can't. I am DOing because I can. I have told my self even through the pain that I can do it. I have been so proud of my self, I have pasted so many goals now that I know I can do anything I put my mind to. I no longer live by Can't, I am living by I can. I have taken Can't out of my volabulary. If I feel a can't coming on I am stop and think instead of can't what small steps can I do to turn can't into I did? It might take me a few extra steps or a little longer than I thought but I got past it.
CAN'T is no longer holding me back from life!

This is a wonderul way to think and do. I spend a lot of time with kids who immediately say "I can't." I have to take precious time--sometimes a lot of it to prove to them that they CAN. It is important to take the advice that we give kids, just lije you did and not allow "I can't" to be in charge of anything. You are living that, so it is great that you put it into words for the rest of us to use as an example.
Keep up the good work!

Can't *is* a dirty word. I understand the appeal of staying in bed all day with the laptop, I do it a lot. But I'm also out there getting my walking done, and I want to start training for a half marathon. I can walk a 5k right now, so it's just building on that. Like you said, what baby steps can I do to make a can't into a can? I just need to keep walking one block further at a time. I want to eventually do a marathon, which I can do if I train properly. it seems impossible right now... I walk a 28 minute mile and can only jog for a tiny bit, but with the proper training, I can do it! Just like you!

Copenhagen Photo Festival was founded in 2010, to raise awareness about, and focus on, photography. The festival showcases Danish as well as international contemporary photography in urban spaces, art and cultural institutions, galleries and photo schools. Danish photography nowadays is receiving substantial recognition worldwide. CPF promotes Danish and Nordic photography internationally, as well as bringing the international photo scene to Denmark.
Everyday we encounter photography: in the media, public spaces and on the contemporary art scene. The festival seeks to awaken public awareness of photographic images surrounding us – where did they arise? What stories are they telling us?
Copenhagen Photo Festival's main aim is to create an international platform for contemporary photography in Denmark. A platform, which explores the different aspects of photography, raising theoretical discussions and presenting new works. It's an opportunity for both emerging and established photographers as well as amateurs, to network and explore contemporary photography.
The founders of Copenhagen Photo Festival are Julie Navne Klitbo and Rasmus Ranum.
Klitbo and Ranum each run their own photo agency – BLINK and SUMO.

A Korean Crossover at Home in the Euro Zone: 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited TestOctober 29, 2015 at 6:34 pm by Ron Sessions
In the ever-escalating battle for the hearts and checkbooks of North American crossover SUV buyers, Hyundai is drizzling a bit of European character into its all-new 2016 Tucson. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, torque-rich four-cylinder turbo, stiff structure, and improved chassis are some of the attributes that give this compact crossover a more composed, more substantial—dare we say almost engaging?—feel behind the wheel. The Continental flavoring is no accident, as the new Tucson is also the replacement for the Euro-market ix35, and so it must not disappoint picky Old World drivers traveling on, say, unrestricted autobahn stretches or serpentine Bavarian two-lanes.

Subaru XV Crosstrek 2.0i Tested: Mellow YellowOctober 9, 2015 at 11:52 am by Ron Sessions
We're not sure what the opposite of a sleeper is, but the Subaru XV Crosstrek 2.0i we tested in Premium Special Edition guise has to be a strong candidate. Mostly, what's special is the retina-searing Sunrise Yellow paint, quixotically juxtaposed to the otherwise quotidian and practical four-door hatchback that's jacked up with additional ground clearance for foul weather and back-country treks to the pumpkin patch. But, hey, it sure is easy to spot in a sea of crossovers at the mall parking lot. So just when we thought we had the gluten-free wing of the Subaru family pegged, along comes this lemony-fresh all-wheel-drive compact hatchback. It's a contrarian twist on an already contrarian car.

2016 Nissan 370Z Coupe Test: An Analog GT for a Digital WorldAugust 21, 2015 at 5:55 pm by Ron Sessions
Other than swapping an ashtray for a cup holder and Datsun badges for Nissan medallions, the Z-car has harkened to the same formula for 46 years. A popularly priced two-seat GT with six-cylinders, a long hood, a short deck, a fastback roofline, and a rear hatch aptly describes both 2016 and 1970 models. That's Corvette-caliber staying power.

2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Test: Practice Makes (Almost) PerfectAugust 5, 2015 at 11:57 am by Ron Sessions
It's not always easy being green. With the price of regular unleaded at four-year lows and big pickups and luxed-up SUVs and crossovers rolling off dealer lots at a fast clip, fewer buyers may be willing to put up with the unpredictable brakes, rubbery steering, and disconnected drivetrain feel associated with many mainstream hybrid sedans. And for those buyers who do prioritize fuel economy, most hybrid models' vaunted EPA estimates seem to be achievable only on flat terrain, at country-club speeds, and in mild weather. READ MORE ››
2015 Toyota Sienna Reviewed: Suburban SpacecraftJuly 23, 2015 at 6:12 pm by Ron Sessions
Overview: Minivans may not be the suburban status symbols they were a generation ago, but for those who want room, easy sliding-side-door access, and people- and pet-friendly convenience, no other type of vehicle will do. The spacious and comfortable 2015 Toyota Sienna is among the more highly evolved minivans, with a peppy 3.5-liter V-6, crisp-shifting six-speed automatic, a choice of front- or all-wheel drive, four LATCH child-safety-seat anchor locations, fold-into-the-floor third-row seats, and a long list of standard and optional creature comforts such as a dual-screen Blu-Ray rear-seat entertainment system. Think of it as the Camry of minivans, embodying the reputation for reliability and durability all Toyotas enjoy, but with a larger footprint. It has room for seven or eight passengers or up to five and 87 cubic feet of cargo behind the second-row seats with the third-row seats stowed. While the Sienna isn't what you'd choose to take on a sports-car rally, it's unbeatable for family duty. There's easy ingress and egress for kids, pets, and grandparents through those large sliding doors; spread-out room with three rows of adult-size seats; and unobstructed views through the Sienna's big windows. We drove a well-equipped 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD Premium for this review. READ MORE ››
2015 Nissan Murano Reviewed: Aggressive Style, Agreeable PersonalityJuly 22, 2015 at 5:40 pm by Ron Sessions
Overview: Lock eyeballs on the 2015 Nissan Murano and it's not likely you'll un-see it anytime soon. Nissan's third-generation "flagship crossover" sports a jutting chin and sci-fi styling worthy of a Star Wars flick. As with the smaller Juke crossover, the mid-size two-row Murano is designed to stand out in parking lots now teeming with crossovers and SUVs. It's a standout inside as well, with an edgy design theme, a long list of standard luxuries, and spread-out room for five. Nissan doesn't cram a tiny third-row seat into the Murano, and despite its "floating," arcing roofline it offers more cargo space than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Volkswagen Touareg, or the Ford Edge. Think of the Murano as a tall, hatchback iteration of the Maxima sedan, sharing drivetrain and chassis bits, and Nissan's flagship-crossover descriptor seems less of a stretch. The Maxima DNA makes itself known in the Murano's well-damped body motions, naturally weighted steering, and crisp brake response. The Murano's single engine choice, the 3.5-liter V-6 from Nissan's VQ engine family, may be getting on in years, but its ample torque and eager throttle response don't disappoint. The 2015 Murano is offered in four trim levels, each available with a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. We drove a top-of-the-line 2015 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD for this review. READ MORE ››
2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 EcoBoost FWD Test: A Competent Pod for the Luxury-Crossover CrowdJune 18, 2015 at 6:28 pm by Ron Sessions
As the first "all-new" product to debut from the rechristened Lincoln Motor Company, the MKC has had a lot of eyes on it. Even though Lincoln's compact crossover shares a great deal of its underlying mechanicals with the Ford Escape, that's no bad place to start. Apparently, U.S. buyers agree and have so far made the 2015 MKC the bestselling entry in Lincoln's four-vehicle SUV lineup. READ MORE ››
2015 Chrysler 300 Limited AWD Test: Chairman of the BoardJune 16, 2015 at 6:36 pm by Ron Sessions
As base cars go, the 2015 Chrysler 300 Limited doesn't make you feel like you settled for the cheap seats, as even the least-expensive 300 oozes curb appeal. Out on the town? Chances are good the valet will park the 300 (especially one dressed in dark gray or black) near the front with stuff imported from somewhere other than Detroit. Freshened a smidge for 2015, Chrysler's flagship sedan wears the same basic bad-boy, Bentley-esque look it brought to the mainstream with the first-generation, 2005 model, albeit slightly evolved.

|HOLD ON! There are versions of this character available that don't have their own branch articles! Please help us document the following:
Oldest version
Qkrtkf's version (2003)
Newest version
Cyanide's version (2013)
Strange Tales
Shuma-Gorath is a Marvel Comics character and one of Dr. Strange's foes. He is a extradimensional warlord and lovecraftian horror who wants to conquer our dimension and add it to the incountable amount of dimensions under his control. He was made into a fighting character in Capcom's Marvel Super Heroes, later appearing in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
In M.U.G.E.N, Shuma-Gorath has been made by Qkrtkf, Sludge, ゴマ, Basara-kun and Cyanide.
Qkrtkf's version
Qkrtkf's version is based off his Marvel Super Heroes appearance, with the purple palette as the default and a gem system implemented.
Sludge's version
Sludge's version is based off his MvSF and MvC2 appearances, though his Mystic Stare was changed into a regular projectile. It was made for the Super Marvel vs. Capcom: Eternity of Heroes project.
Basara-kun's version
Basara-kun's version is a version of Shuma-Gorath with custom gameplay, with features from all of his various appearances and the voice of UMVC3. It was released in beta state in 2012, with some moves still not implemented, though a finalized version was released during 2014, adding in all moves that were absent in its previous release.
Cyanide's version
Cyanide's version is based off his MvSF appearance. It is mostly source accurate, though it adds the Hyper Mystic Ray (complete with new custom sprites) as a bonus.
Azathoth (Edit)
A very cheap Shuma-Gorath was made, it's strong enough in it's 12P to kill Chuck Norris and other characters with ease (it uses null and will take a while to load). It's first palette can beat Rare Akuma, but can still be beaten with other characters.

When Memory Plays Tricks
Deyanova, Liliana, UNESCO Courier
A Sociologist discovers how history can be retouched by those who took part in it
"OUR past is becoming more and more unpredictable." Bulgarians today are increasingly familiar with this paradox. Not for the first time, they are asking themselves such questions as these: Did the communists come to power on 9 September 1944 as the result of a "popular uprising" against a monarchist-fascist dictatorship, without direct intervention by the Red Army, or as the result of a coup d'etat by a gang of traitors and terrorists supported by Russian guns? Was Bulgaria ever fascist? Who saved the Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps? The communist party or King Boris III?
In one of its first directives, the new government set up in 1944 enjoined teachers "not to expound the positive actions of monarchs in history lessons, but to stress the tyrannical quality of their rule and the struggle of the oppressed people". The triumphant workers and peasants were to be glorified. Thus was history rewritten. It is no surprise to find Spartacus described as a "proletarian"; the most grotesque illustrations of communist iconography came close to depicting him brandishing a hammer and sickle.
Today's history books, on the other hand, avoid talking about "the positive aspects of the proletariat", and filter or exclude previously sacrosanct expressions such as "anti-fascist popular uprising" and "the glorious October Revolution". Perhaps this is what the French sociologist Jean Baudrillard has described as "a rewriting of history that is contrary to the totalitarian version"?
A sociological enquiry
In Bulgaria a far-reaching research programme has been launched on "the rewriting of history". It is sociological rather than historical, and is less concerned with discovering the truth about past events than with understanding how they are interpreted in the various "rewritten" versions. The content of history books and history lessons, exhibits in historical museums, and biographies are all being studied as part of this programme.
By examining the ways in which individual biographies are being rewritten it is possible to see the two-way relationship between biography and history. We can discover how people see their own lives and try to "legitimize" them by making sure that they conform to newly-accepted standards, and also how new interpretations of certain historic events are being inserted in these "revised" biographies. Two different processes are involved: giving meaning to one's own life, and using one's life story to make sense of the past. It is possible to identify various strata in the collective memory by seeing how certain events are given emphasis, important facts are omitted, minute details are magnified, and what Freud called "screen-memory" comes into being.
In this context it may be hard to say exactly "what happened on 9 September 1944". Perhaps we ought instead to see what the various interpretations of 9 September are, or even find out about the different 9 September stored in the different layers of the memory. What story do those who once called themselves "active combatants in the struggle against fascism and capitalism" now tell? What story do their victims tell?
To carry out this analysis we are using a variety of sociological techniques and a number of sources. By collecting the life stories of people as they are described in the eulogies pronounced at their funerals and in later conversations with those who knew them we have tried to find out how biographies are orientated nowadays, by people on both sides of the fence.
We shall not dwell on the way in which people make crude manipulations (intentional or otherwise) of their own past. What interests us is the way in which episodes in a biography are unconsciously reorganized at the time of death. In every biography we have noted a transference of guilt, a refusal to be associated with evil. Evil is rejected: it is done by enemies, or at a pinch by black sheep on one's own side. …

I have Apache installed under Vista. Today I notices that web browser does
not open URLs http://localhost/.... , but only http://127.0.0.1/...
I commented the last string of hosts file so that it now looks like this and
everything works perfectly now:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 188.8.131.52 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 184.108.40.206 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Who knows what's the meaning of the last string: ::1 localhost ?
Is there any place in the world where the syntax is explained?
Thank you

James Bond is a man of action, and playing him means Daniel Craig gets to explore many a man's fantasy — world travel, fast cars, fast women. But the lifestyle sometimes takes a toll, and so when Craig took a break between Bonds (after "Casino Royale," before "Quantum of Solace" — check out the "Quantum" trailer right here!), he looked for something a little different and decided to finally play a "Fool."
Craig's friend Baillie Walsh — known for his music videos for INXS, Massive Attack and Oasis — wrote his first feature film, "Flashbacks of a Fool," with the actor in mind. "Luckily, he loved the script," Walsh told MTV News. Craig plays Joe Scott, a movie star more preoccupied by cocaine and group sex than his next gig.
"I'm playing a movie star," Craig laughed. "That might sound a bit arrogant to do something like that. But it's more than that. He was exceptionally successful for a while, but how high up did he go on the ladder of success? To the point where he could have had anything he wanted in his life. That's the point: He threw it all away."
Scott would have been the type of actor you'd expect to see in a franchise like Bond, "but when I wrote it, Dan wasn't Bond," Walsh said. "It makes it more interesting that he is Bond now. And his character — minus some vices — is quite similar to who he is in real life."
The film, which will be released in the U.S. later this year, shows what Craig — or an actor of marquee status like Tom Cruise or Will Smith — could look like if he took his success for granted and started to believe his own mythology at the expense of his family and friends. But Joe Scott gets a chance to reassess his empty life, in which no one, other than a personal assistant played by Eve, actually cares about him. When he gets a phone call alerting him that his childhood best friend has died, Scott looks back at his youth, with the majority of the film taking place in flashback (hence the title). "It's a very simple story," Craig said. "It's about growing up and what we learn when we're children and how that forms who we are as adults. And just the essence of it — about the sh– we don't deal with when we're growing up, if we don't deal with it, it will come back and get us. It has resonance for everybody."
But the script sat on a shelf for six years while the two friends tried to figure out how to make the movie happen. Meanwhile, Craig's star rose as he got parts in increasingly more high-profile films, including "Layer Cake," which led to him being cast as Bond in "Casino Royale." That, Walsh said, made all the difference, because it meant they could get financing. "Luckily, after his success with Bond, he still wanted to do it," the director said. "And he became an executive producer. His success with Bond enabled the film to happen, to create interest in it, to move it along."
"I just got involved to help drum up the money," Craig said. "You know, pressing the flesh and being nice to people — and you know how much I like doing that. But getting the money is one of the hardest things."
Craig had no such trouble getting the Bond films made — raising $200 million was not one of his responsibilities, he laughed — but he did get more involved with "Quantum" after his experience on "Flashbacks." "That I would be able to sort of dedicate myself and get involved with it and make something of it, that's what made me do it," Craig said. "I wanted Bond to be good."
That process becomes harder and harder as fewer stories are left in Ian Fleming's body of work, Craig said, which is why screenwriter Paul Haggis came up with an original plot for "Quantum" (although the title refers to one of Fleming's stories ). "There's nothing left as far as I know," Craig said of Fleming's novels and short stories that have yet to be adapted for film. "The funny thing is, if you read Fleming — which I try to plow through occasionally — there are an awful lot of story lines that have never been used. Obviously, the films are based on the books, but there are still ideas that we can sort of pluck from that are still in there."
But before they figure out the next story line in the franchise, Craig would like a break — from playing Bond and actors who've self-destructed from playing characters like Bond. "I've very much tried to retreat back a bit, and I'm having therapy," he joked. "If I'm promoting a movie, I'll talk about my work, and I'm proud of it, but it's got nothing to do with my private life. I'm not stupid enough to believe that a link between the two wouldn't happen. It's OK. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"
Check out everything we've got on "Flashbacks of a Fool" and "Quantum of Solace."

Chiropractic is well-known for the treatment of low back pain arising from a slipped disc or any traumatic action. With slipped disc, the inner part of the disc bulges out due to weakness and degeneration of the outer part. The disc bulge, if not detected or treated earlier may irritate and interfere with the nerves coming from the spinal cord. As a result, pain/inflammation and symptoms such as numbness and tingling can occur in conjunction with lower back pain.
Chiropractic treatment involves specific spinal adjustments to the body by a gentle application of force to the misaligned spine to restore its alignment and reduce nerve irritation. Once adjusted, proper spine and muscle function is restored and the body starts recovering better.
Chiropractic can provide effective slipped disc treatment as well as low back pain treatment caused by other mechanical problems in the spine. If you are facing problems of slipped disc, you can find effective slipped disc treatment by the chiropractic doctors from Alpha Chiropractic Singapore.

Pakistan vs West Indies Highlights ICC Champions Trophy 2013. Pakistan vs West Indies Highlights 7th May 2013. PAK vs WI Cricket Highlights 2013. Watch Champions Trophy Highlights 2013.
Whatever your persuasion when it comes to one-day cricket the Champions Trophy looks set to offer something for everyone. After the high-scoring opening match in Cardiff, there was a low-scoring nail-biter at The Oval with West Indies surviving major problems against Pakistan's pace and spin combination to secure a priceless two-wicket victory.
Amid a passionate, excitable crowd dominated by Pakistan support – this is arguably the closest they will get to a home crowd given their current situation – West Indies, who themselves used to have a vast following at The Oval in the 1970s and 1980s, threatened to throw away their outstanding work in the field with a nervous batting display. They eventually limped over the line with Denesh Ramdin and Kemar Roach at the crease: a wicketkeeper and a pace bowler, as it was in the darkness for the triumph in 2004.

The Spartanburg County Coroner's Office has identified the man found dead below an Interstate 85 overpass in Duncan on Sunday evening.
Nicholas Alexander Bixler, 34, originally from Irvine, Calif., died of open head trauma from the fall onto an emergency lane of I-85 below Highway 290, according to a statement from Coroner Rusty Clevenger.
Clevenger said Bixler was assisted by several church agencies in the area because he was said to be homeless.
Witnesses on scene stated that he walked off the bridge intentionally, according to the statement.
