Please hold your skepticism, keep an open mind, go through the following points and only then pass a judgment on my prediction that "three years down Windows Phone would have overtaken Android"
[Update August-2012: The 12th reason (Apple awarded 1 billion US$ but Microsoft wins)!]
[Update June-2012: 3 Thing Microsoft Achieved Through The Launch Of The Surface Tablet]
(1) "Mango" has received very positive response
Just go through the following comments.
"… I say this with all seriousness and some incredulity: Apple, watch your back. Microsoft may have finally figured it out. The battle for the mobile market just got interesting again…" – Robert X. Cringely
"…With Mango, WP7 has caught up with Android and iOS in nearly every way, and in some areas it's even surpassed the other two in functionality …" – Brad Molen
"…Windows Phone 7.5 is supremely usable, surprisingly powerful and delivers the experience Microsoft has been promising, with only a few rough edges left…" – techradar.com
"…Windows Phone is, in my opinion, the second-best OS out there, after iOS. It's more cohesive, reliable, pretty, and fast than Android…I have no hesitation in recommending it…" – Dan Nosowitz
"…Android doesn't look as shiny and as for Apple, since our play, we certainly notice a lot more "Windows Phone 7 features" in the latest iOS 5 Beta builds…" – Stuart Miles
If you don't believe me then just do your own searching – I am sure you will find comments very similar to these.
(2) Metro UI is innovative and usable
The UI is different but very well designed for mobile and tablet. The same view is expressed by most experts and most owners of "Mango" phone.
"…keep an open mind and you just might be pleasantly surprised by Microsoft's elegant, daring, and simple take on smartphones…" – Jessica Dolcourt
(3) Microsoft usability design is backed by strong research
I have discussed this elsewhere – Microsoft's Second UI Innovation.
If you have doubt then just go through the presentation on How Ribbon Interface was created.
(4) Unlike Android UI, Metro UI has nothing in common with iOS
Google and Android handset manufacturers are fighting legal battles with Apple in so many different countries. These battles are prompted by similarity in the design and user interface.
"Mango" is different. If fact Microsoft has already secured a patent for the metro UI – Microsoft patents Metro UI. On the other hand Android is fighting so many patent and IP violation suits.
(5) It is a question of survival for Nokia
Even though Nokia has been steadily losing market share it still enjoys more than 20% market share of the number of mobile handsets shipped (see IDC report). RIM is also in a similar situation, but unlike RIM, Nokia has something decent to fight back with.
They have put all their eggs in the Windows Phone basket and they are not going to give in without a fight, especially in the non-US markets.
(6) Microsoft has patent agreement with handset manufacturer which lowers the barrier for switch
Microsoft has patent deals with HTC, Samsung and many other Android handset manufacturers and receives US$ 5 upwards for every handset sold. See this – Microsoft Getting Royalties From Over Half Of All US Android Phone Sales.
So, Android is not exactly free.
(7) Most users would have changed their handset in three years
One of the concerns expressed by many analysts is that Microsoft is late in the game and the mobile market is already crowded. However, history has taught us that the mobile landscape changes every 3 years. One of the top 3 players drop out to be replaced a newcomer. You also get a new leader.
Therefore, three years down the line the field is wide open.
(8) Windows 8, which has Metro UI, would have enough presence in desktop & laptop
In spite of all the prediction about the end of the PC era, you will almost surely be using a PC for many more years. You will also, periodically, continue to upgrade your PC and Laptop. Majority of those upgrades will result in your getting a Windows 8 machine.
As a result, three years down the line most of us would get reasonably familiar with Metro UI.
(9) Windows App store, by then, would have many more applications
By having the same programming model for desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile, Microsoft has ensured that app developers will always find a wider market for their applications. They are also offering developers a larger piece of the pie.
Microsoft fleshed out details for its Windows Store, announcing to developers that the Windows 8 app store will become available with the Windows 8 beta in late February 2012. (See this)
(10) Microsoft has an uncanny knack of persisting with, perfecting a product and become one of the market leaders
We have seen this happen time and again with so many different categories of products. The list is long – Word Processor (Word), Spreadsheet (Excel), Database (MS-SQL), Search Engine (Bing), O/S for handheld device (Windows CE), Enterprise web application platform (SharePoint), Enterprise mail server (Outlook), Development platform (.Net), Developer Studio (VSTS), Gaming Console (Kinect), Browser (IE), ERP (Dynamics) … (See this for more detail).
So, why can't they pull it off again?
(11) Windows Phone is much more strategic to Microsoft than Android is to Google
Microsoft is primarily an O/S company and Google is a search company. If Google loses the mobile O/S war it is just another loss. It is not going to threaten the existence of the company. However, the same loss for Microsoft may threaten their very existence.
You don't expect Microsoft to give in without a very very strong fight … especially when they have hit upon an innovative product with lots of promise.
Also, there is no Steve Jobs around who can completely change the game.
Here are 3 more reasons from Galen Gruman:
- No strong commitment to Android from Google
- No strong commitment to Android from device makers
- A likely loss in the Oracle lawsuit over Android's Java base
The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, demonstrated how to move beyond today's coding paradigm and shared the must-have mindsets for removing complexity from the develo...

In today's uber-connected, consumer-centric, cloud-enabled, insights-driven, multi-device, global world, the focus of solutions has shifted from the product that is sold to the person who is buying the product or service.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Deborah Robinson
Robinson Studios Inc.
Little Rock
Deborah RobinsonAs community program director for Comcast Cable, Deborah Robinson became known as the host of locally oriented programs. In May, she moved on to a bigger challenge by starting her own production company.
Robinson Studios has two divisions - one that develops and markets programs and documentaries, and another that produces videos and programming for others.
"I guess I'm most proud of this move because it was a step of faith for me," says Robinson, 29. "Everything I did up to this point seemed very easy for me."
Robinson's immediate plans for her six-person company include producing the story of Daisy Bates' life, which she has acquired exclusive rights to, and launching a local newsmagazine program, which she hopes to air on a local station this fall.
A devout Christian, Robinson sees her career move as one directed by God, and she relies on her strong faith to empower her. She raised $425,000 to start her business and refuses to accept any of the potential obstacles in being a minority business owner.
"I don't walk in the myths that control black businesses," she says.

Flags Are A Rarity for Brooke Coach Tom Bruney
WELLSBURG – Brooke coach Tom Bruney swears he's not a bad guy, no matter what a group of eastern panhandle high school football officials may think of him.
"Here's the thing that puts the dot on the I," he said Monday. "I've only been flagged one time in my entire coaching career, and never as a head coach. I was an assistant coach in 1991. I just don't get that wrapped up in it."
Anyone who saw the Morgantown game has to believe that. That's when a long run by quarterback Cotey Wallace was nullified by an official's quick whistle. The ref was confused as to who had the ball and stopped a play that would have otherwise been a 64-yard run to the Mohigans' 8.
"Those were quality officials," Bruney said. "He immediately owned up to his mistake, and that made it OK. Even our kids didn't have a problem with it."
That was then; this is now.
Bruney, of course, was ejected with 30 seconds remaining in the first half of last week's come-from-behind victory against Musselman after he was hit with back-to-back personal fouls.
Looking back, he's not proud of his actions that led to his second personal foul – he threw his headset in frustration – but, then again, he's still trying to figure out how simply calling a timeout constituted the first one. For that reason, he never thought he'd get thrown out because he didn't believe the first one was really all that personal.
Here's the story. The one-step-forward, two-steps-back Bruins had moved the ball at a decent pace during the first half, but had not scored mostly because of red-zone turnovers.
Inside a half a minute to go in the half, Bruney asked for a timeout, something that is very normal for coaches to do in a hurry-up situation, almost so normal officials should be ready for it. Heck, grandparents should be ready for it. After a good 10-15 seconds of real time passed, Bruney still could not get anyone's attention – couldn't even get a cursory glance – and by that time, he was out on the field. When they finally saw him out there, they were not interested in what he wanted. They were reaching for yellow hankies.
"We're trying to appeal this because I deserved the flag for throwing the headset," he said. "I take full responsibility for going into Gene Hackman 'Hoosier' mode. But I don't deserve the flag for calling a timeout."
Assuming that appeal doesn't work – and there's not a strong history that suggests it will – Bruney will not be coaching the Bruins this week during their playoff opener against Princeton, per SSAC rules that require a mandatory one-game follow-up suspension.
In the meantime, it would be hard to convince Bruney those officials wanted the top-rated Bruins to win a game against an unranked, and under-.500 foe last Friday night.
"It was the type of game we needed," he said. "We needed to get belted and get up off the mat. But it's a shame a high school game for kids can get out of hand because of adults."
Obviously, Bruney didn't see Wallace, Kyle Sims (13 tackles and a sack), Tripper Naragon (10 tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss), Shane Graham (nine tackles) and Mike Kosevic (nine tackles) lead the comeback. He was escorted off the field prior to halftime.
But he's seen the second half via the lens of Deb and Scooter Rowing, Brooke's longtime video team.
"We have a whole video tape full of things that appear to be purposely done (by the officials)," Bruney said. "You hate to think like that because you're calling into question a man's integrity."
All of this has given Bruney an idea.
"They already do this in college and in the pros," he began. "One of these days, they're going to arm coaches with flags. When an official is out of control, then we should be able to throw flags on them.
"We've had nine very good high school crews the season. We've had quality men working our games up until that last trip."
At the end of the day, none of this wound up hurting Brooke's chance at perfection. And the Bruins did get an important pass interference call late in the game on what proved to be the winning drive.
"The most important part about it, the thing I'm most proud of," Bruney said, "was the chips were lined up against us, adversity hit, and our kids found a way to win the game.
"Guess what? We're 10 and 0. Nothing else matters right now. In about 5 minutes, then 10 and 0 doesn't matter. It's a new season. Our next goal is to be 1 and 0 this week."
Even in the face of a bad experience, the people of Brooke County have never tired of hearing that.

Publisher's Description
New theories come and go about methods of evangelism involving psychological concepts, social theory, marketing models, church growth strategy and obscure texts applied more widely than intended. The irony is that we have a model for evangelism staring us in the face in the story of the early church told by Luke through the book of Acts.
So, it's time to realign your thoughts on evangelism in tune to what God has to say. It's time for ACTive Evangelism.
Derek Prime guides us through the book of Acts giving very practical examples of how to do evangelism in the workplace, with our neighbours, to our families, as a church and individually. In each chapter Prime looks at the context the disciples were ministering in, the challenges they would have faced, the methods they used, and then applies it to our situation today.
Author Bio
Editorial Reviews
"Drawing on the book of Acts and a lifetime of experience, Derek Prime offers practical wisdom for ordinary Christians who want to reach others for Jesus."
"It is that wonderful combination of Biblical exposition alongside real application to the modern day, both at a personal and church level. The questions at the end of each chapter also really nail down the teaching. This is an outstanding tool to 'prepare God's people for works of service' (Ephesians 4:11)."
"Derek Prime continues to serve God and his people in giving us these splendid studies on evangelism, based on the Acts of the Apostles. The author's passion for Christ underlies every page and under girds the whole book. Equally, though, it pastoral, sensitive and wise, arising from the author's considerable experience. I highly recommend this text for church groups embarking on serious outreach or needing good motivation to do so."

Central Park
Parks Winter Wonderland Returns At Winter Jam NycIMMEDIATE
Saturday, February 6, 2010
No. 8
On Saturday, Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Olympic Regional Development Authority's Brad Clark and Red Bull sponsored pro snowboarder Pat Moore welcomed thousands of New Yorkers to Central Park for snow activities from snowshoeing to snowboarding at Winter Jam NYC.
"Thanks to our partners at the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and I Love NY, people of all ages could try snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and skiing right in the heart of Manhattan," said Commissioner Benepe. "From the Winter Market with goods from local producers to the world premiere of Red Bull's Project X documentary on Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, Winter Jam NYC provides snow much fun in Central Park. This event brought New Yorkers together for a day of winter sports and spirit in snowy Central Park."
Parks presented the biggest snow festival in the city: Winter Jam NYC! The event brought winter fun back to Central Park with the Lake Placid snowfield for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Our partners at Olympic Regional Development Authority made snow for a week leading up to the event to create a winter wonderland.
More than 100 New Yorkers brought along their snowboards for the Switch Academy Rail Jam competition, which was hosted by Red Bull-endorsed snowboarder Pat Moore. The high flying Skyriders showed off their acrobatic trampoline tricks to the crowd, while participants learned how to ski with Head Skis and snowboarded with the Chill Foundation.
Winter Jam also featured the world premiere of Red Bull's Project X, Shaun White's Olympic training documentary. New Yorkers of all ages built snowmen and forts on the snowfield while others honed their hockey skills with the New York Rangers Road Tour, featuring the Inflatable Slap Shot Booth and a children's Bounce House.
The Pride of New York Winter Market warmed up the crowd with refreshments provided by local producers, while visitors browsed booths from their favorite winter sports vendors.
The event was presented by NYC Parks & Recreation, ORDA, Lake Placid, New York Post, Mountain Creek Ski Resort, Switch Academy, Gore Mountain, Gear to Go Outfitters, New York Rangers, I Ski NY, 101.9 WQXR, Pride of New York, Red Bull's Project X, and Iloveny.com. To experience the fun of Winter Jam 2010 again, tune into the series It's My Park presented by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation on NYC TV or view the video online at www.nyc.gov/parks/video, keyword: winter jam.

SpectraI analysis of the Japanese vowels shows that the five vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/ of a single speaker can well be separated by their first and second formant frequencies (F1and F2). Considerable amount of overlap is observed, however, when vowels of many speakers are plotted in the F1-F2plane, which can be ascribed mainly to differences in the size and shape of the vocal tract. A normalizing process, based presumably on higher formant frequencies, is expected in the identification of these vowels. It is not dear, however, whether concurrent changes of pitch and higher formants are necessary in the normalization process. This paper presents a method for evaluating the roles of these parameters and describes the results obtained. Perceptual boundaries between a pair of vowels, which share approximately the same ratio of F2to F1, are defined in the F1F2plane, using synthetic vowels generated by a terminal analog synthesizer. The importance of pitch and higher formants, is then evaluated by the extent to which their changes affect these boundaries. The results of listening tests show that, for ordinary buzz-excited vowels, neither pitch nor higher formants alone are sufficient for perceptual normalization, and the combined changes in pitch and higher formants are necessary to counteract the changes in F1and F2. For noise-excited vowels, on the other hand, the roles of higher formants are as important as the combined roles of pitch and higher formants in buzz-excited vowels.

I'm looking for a simple chart which shows how the pawns and pieces move , so when i'm teaching a complete begginer, they're able to refer to the chart as they play and get a reminder of how they can manoeuvre around the board and capture.
Prefurably something on-line which is small enough that i can copie and print onto an A4 sheet.
If you've seen any thing like this, i would greatly appreciate a link or web-site name so i could follow it up.
Thanks in advance . . . . GD : )
or try the wiki.
Here are some sites with move diagrams:
You can save the images and print them, they should fit A4. Good luck!
Thanks Glex, i'm gonna use them : )

Decent buffet spread but no where near authentic Chinese,IMO. Step in only to if you are dying to satiate your craving for Chinese food and to fill your tummy on budget.If you want to sample fine and authentic Chinese cuisine,then give it a miss.
For whatever reason, I had a hankering for chinese food during my December 2012 trip to Muenster and found this place, probably by google search. I don't know that I'd bend over backward to get here, but if you're close, stop in.
Not the best chinese restaurant you'll ever eat at but considering what I have found so far in Muenster, this is actually pretty good.
The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, nice atmosphere... service is fast and the waiter actually tried to speak english to us (which is a nice change from the usual "I speak german as fast as I...

A headcount was conducted again, at 6 pm, where prisoners were forced to stand in attention. Only one toilet was available for a group of four hundred people, where everyone was supposed to wash up. Death Upon Arrival: As has been mentioned before, upon arrival several inmates were sentenced to immediate death, as they weren't considered healthy enough to be a part of the concentration camp. Phase 1: Arrival at the Concentration Camps The journey to the camp began with a train journey, where the prisoners had to travel for several days without food and water. They say that this was further magnified by the Jews to garner support for their own homeland. ― Psalm 27:1 "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believeth." ― Mark 9:23 "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." ― Psalm 34:8 "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous ladder to it and are safe." ― Proverbs 18:10 "Cast your cares upon the LORD, for he cares about you." ― I Peter 5:7 "Come unto me, ye who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest." ― Matthew 11:28 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." ― Philippians 4:13 "Be strong and courageous. The most common disease in concentration camps was typhus.
Scott Applewhite | AP Schuette made no mention in his speech of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Several top Michigan Republicans, including Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof and House Speaker Kevin Cotter, are delegates or alternate delegates at the convention. In advance of Schuette's speech, U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint, said in a statement that by stepping up to the podium, Schuette is "endorsing all that Donald Trump's Republican Party now stands for." "How Bill Schuette can look himself in the mirror and defend such divisiveness and hate baffles me," Kildee said, referencing several of Trump's most controversial comments. "As Michiganders, we know we are better than such hateful rhetoric. "Trump and Schuette are standing hand-in-hand together in Cleveland, but make no mistake they do not stand with Michigan's working families," Kildee continued. The theme of the convention's first day of proceedings is "Make America Safe Again." Others speakers set to address convention attendees Monday includeMelania Trump, retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, Jason Beardsley and U.S.

Several of these camps were set up along rail road lines. No towels were made available to dry up. In such cases, they were transported to death camps, which were sometimes close to the concentration camps. At other times, it involved more long journeys, in gassed trucks and trains, which means they died on the way to the death camp. The work was to resume from 1 pm to 6 pm. Several times, officers whimsically asked a prisoner to turn around, where he was beaten on his back with a stick, so harshly, that it broke. To rid themselves of all the hideously criminal and inhuman suffering, thousands of inmates usually killed themselves. The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" These camps consisted not only of Jews, but also criminals, prisoners of war, physically disabled, mentally disabled, Polish labourers, homosexuals, Russian Jews, Italian Jews, and even Catholic priests.

Great hotel but the beds have to GO!Posted Apr 19, 2016 on Hotels
With my family and I coming in late, we were greeted like it was 8am. Check in was a breeze. Room was great until we sat on out hard bed. We were told it was a knob that controlled the pressure of the mattress but we felt nothing different when we changed the setting. Let out sofa sleeper. Ghee!!! We felt every spring in that mattress. I even asked for a blanket to line the bed up with to make it kind of comfortable. Only other issue I had. With a 15 month old crawling on the floor he found lots of ojects to put in his mouth especially when the let out bed was up. And under the table. So keep that mind. Other than that stay was peaceful

This place is a must see in Tbilisi, its frescoes are among the most beautiful examples of byzantine orthodox art, the main altar is stunning for its beauty.
Paid a short visit to this church while a ceremony was taking place, so it was a good experience. Close to the river and right in the heart of the old town.
The church is beautiful and the history is amazing. Go for that alone.
And as well, not necessarily about this church, it was amazing to me to see so many churches of different faiths all close together and all getting along.
Not a large church but very busy with local use on several days we were here, it was nice to see a busy church. The exterior is quite impressive even in the small street of the old city. Good interior paintings.
I found myself visiting Sioni Cathedral more than once during my last visit to Tbilisi. It it well maintained both inside and out and has a beautiful interior. This cathedral is a must visit when traveling to Tbilisi wether you are religious or not it is worth seeing.
Sioni cathedral church(Tbilisi Sioni) built in 6th & 7th century,which one of oldest orthodox churches in old Tbilisi town.
Close to Freedom square & other places 7 easy to locate from its structure
Destroyed by foreign invaders many times but rebuilt also many times,finally taken reshape in1812,as a remarkable cathedral church.

Sioni Cathedral Church. A nice place. Place of prayer. One of the oldest church in Georgia. From this location you can see the whole old city of Tbilisi.
Easy to find as it's in the centre of the old town. In my opinion the most beautiful church in Tbilisi, full of beautiful artwork and full of atmosphere. Shouldn't be missed.
One of the loveliest churches in Tbilisi. Although Tbilisi is full of churches, Sioni has a special character, all painted inside & a place where you feel religious
This is a place to visit while walking through the old town in Tbilisi. It's near the KDG/Cafe Klara and the Caucasian Carpet shop.

Fairy tales made real at University High
University High Schools' take on William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a whimsical journey full of wacky characters and gratifying moments.
This classic features young Athenian lovers, acrobatic fairies and mischievous wood nymphs. Things go awry when mysterious forces in the wilderness combine to create mischief.
Scenic lighting by William Dang works well with the strobe lights and fog to create the eerie, remote woods.
Sound design by Casey Cunningham and Ally Kaufman adds an enchanting effect. The use of mystical chimes to accompany Oberon's (Darius Estigoy) swish of the magical flowers is spellbinding.
Throughout the show, the gentle tone of voice and caressing gestures of Alberto Silva, who plays Lysander, are effective in developing chemistry between himself and his love, Hermia, played by Megan Tran. Their growing relationship sets up the comedy when Lysander, under the effect of a love potion, ignores the hysterical Hermia because of his sudden love for Helena, played by Alexandra Kramer. Silva creates a memorable character with his bold gestures and excellent stage presence.
Walking pompously amid the busy streets of Athens is the zealous, overconfident Bottom the Weaver, played by Sami Lodi. Lodi amazes with his excellent comedic timing and animated facial expressions. Although some of the other performers are hard to understand as they attempt their unique inflections, Lodi has no such problem during the production of "Pyramus and Thisbe," the play within the play.
University High School's production effectively crosses the bridge from the human world to the whimsical world of fairies. This is a dream come true.
Amilcar Jauregui is a senior at Anaheim High School in Anaheim.

This expansion in the population of the town was quite marked after the war that took place in 1812. Saint Louis remained as capital of the Missouri territory till the year 1821, and it was at last incorporated as a city in the year 1822. The city became highly famous as a river port.

Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
...and other notes
As our own Arizona Phil predicted, Henry Blanco's $3M option was declined, but the whispers are that he'll be back with the Cubs at a lower rate. The buyout did cost the Cubs $300,000.
- Oneri Fleita expects Tyler Colvin to be ready by Opening Day from his Tommy John Surgery that I mentioned earlier this week.
- Looks like Trader Jim is ready for the offseason...
I'm looking forward to it, maybe more so than
the last couple. It'll be nice to talk to a lot of the GMs to see what
their appetites are going to be with free agency and possibly trades.
We feel like we've got some excess in areas that might help us in areas
we need to get stronger."
Happy Halloween!
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
I get that Hendry is saying things for public consumption, but what are the areas that "we've got some excess in".
Just askin'
I guess if somebody needs whatever the hell Ronny Cedeno is (flashes of competence between long spells of buffoonery?) we got one of those to spare.
What else?
Catchers converted to pitchers?
I'd really like to know ehere the Cubs are deep.
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
Starting pitching candidates--not aces, just guys who could be in a rotation. In addition to Zambrano, Harden, Lilly, and Marquis, the Cubs are likely to re-sign Dempster, have Marshall, Hill, Samardzija, Hart, and Atkins.
And second basemen. The Cubs have plenty of second basemen.
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
Cmon Charlie, You know Jim Hendry ain't letting go of any second basemen. He might add 2 more just in case.
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
Wow, just saw that Howry is a Type A FA. Good bye.
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
I don't know that it matters. Will the Cubs really offer arbitration to Home Run Howry?
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
I think that would depend largely on what Howry would get in arbitration. Any thoughts from people who know the process?
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
He's up for arbitration?! I thought he was a FA?
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
He is a FA. But you can offer a FA arbitration. If they decline you can then get your draft pick.
(i'm 99% on this one)
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
You're right. Obviously, the player needs to sign elsewhere for the Cubs to receive two draft picks, and if the team that inks him has its top 15 draft protected the Cubs would get an additional first round pick and a sandwich pick; also, if the FA signs before a November (arbitration) deadline, the Cubs get automatic picks without having to offer arbitration. That's the best case scenario.
If Howry accepts the arbitration offer, I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back at 3.5-4 million. There are worse relievers out there that will get 6 million; either way, there should be a market for Howry.
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
I would be very surprised to see Howry on an MLB roster next year.
RH reliever, with one pitch, and that pitch is a so-so fastball that isn't going to age well.

I think that would depend largely on what Howry would get in arbitration. Any thoughts from people who know the process?
CHARLIE: To get draft pick compensation, Hendry will have to decide by December 1st whether to offer arbitration to the three Cubs who are rated Type "A" or Type "B" Article XX free-agents (Dempster, Howry, and Wood).
If they aren't already signed by 12/1, the Cubs will certainly offer arbitration to Dempster and Wood (Demp and/or Woody agreeing to a one-year contract would be great for the Cubs), and ideally, another GM (Ed Wade, maybe?) will sign Bob Howry before December 1st and the Cubs won't have to offer him arbitation. They'll just get the draft picks.
But if Howry doesn't sign elsewhere by December 1st, the Cubs could offer salary arbitration, hoping that because Howry thinks he can get a multi-year deal with another club, he will will reject the offer (and this happens fairly often).
But even if the Cubs offer Howry arbitration and even if he accepts, the Cubs could still release him in Spring Training, and if that happens, they would only have to pay 1/6 or 1/4 of his 2009 salary (1/6 if they place him on Release Waivers at least 18 days prior to Opening day, or 1/4 of his salary if they place him on Release Waivers anytime between 17 and four days prior to Opening Day), but to avoid losing a near-certain grievance that will be filed if he were to get released prior to Opening Day, the Cubs would have to make sure that other pitchers have outperforned Howry statistically in Spring Training and that the pitchers who outperformed Howry make the Cubs 2009 Opening Day roster.
You might remember that happened with Todd Walker a couple of years ago. Walker was an Article XX FA post-2006, and was offered arbitration by the Padres. Walk accepted, and won his case, getting $3.95M from the arbitration panel (the Padres offered $2.75M). But then Walker was released during Spring Training (March 2007) because the Padres claimed he had been outplayed by other infield candidates (and that was actually fairly obvious, at least statistically), and the Padres in fact did win the subsequent grievance and had to pay "only" 1/4 of Walker's 2007 salary (about $970K). So it cost the Padres almost a million dollars to offer Walker arbitration, and they didn't even get a draft pick out of it because Walker accepted the arbitration offer!
Usually about two or maybe three Article XX free-agents accept arbitration offers every year. Hopefully Howry has delusions of grandeur and will consider an offer of salary arbitration to be an insult.
If I had to guess, I would say the Cubs will NOT offer Howry arbitration. The cost of paying him if he were to accept the offer just isn't worth the financial risk, even if the Cubs could get a couple of draft picks if they offer arbitration and Howry declines.
The "best case scenario" for the the Cubs is that Howry will sign with a new club by 12/1 and the Cubs will get the draft picks without having to risk offering Howry salary arbitration. The Cubs lucked-out with Type "B" FA Juan Pierre that way a couple of years ago, when Dodgers GM Ned Colletti signed Pierre prior to December 1st and the Cubs never had to offer Pierre arbitration in order to get a compensation draft pick (who turned out to be Josh Donaldson).
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
"The Cubs lucked-out with Type 'B' FA Juan Pierre that way a couple of years ago"
Happened with Kendall last year, too, no?
I don't see any time signing Howry until after the Arb. deadline, given that they could lose a first round draft pick. But those top 15 draft picks are protected, right? So if a team in that first 15 were to sign him they wouldn't actually lose any draft picks, the Cubs would just gain a 1st round pick and a sandwich pick?
Re: Cubs Decline Blanco's Option
mmmmmmmmmm sandwich pick!

CHARLIE: Yes, Jason Kendall also signed with a new club before 12/1, so the Cubs got a supplemental (sandwich) 1st round pick (who turned out to be Ryan Flaherty, one of the Cubs Top 10 prospects IMO) without having to offer arbitration to Kendall. A club is more likely to sign a Type "B" FA than a Type "A" FA prior to 12/1, though,because while the player's former club does get a compensation draft pick for losing a Type "B," it's just one draft pick, and it's a supplemental pick between the 1st and 2nd round and doesn't cost the player's new club a draft pick. Signing a Type "A" FA prior to 12/1 would cost the new club one of it'own draft picks (either 1st or 2nd round). Of course, that didn't stop the Cubs from signing free-agents like Alfonso Soriano, Jacque Jones, Scott Eyre, and Bob Howry (and losing draft picks as a result) prior to 12/1!
If a club picking in the Top 15 of the 1st Round of next June's Rule 4 Draft signs Howry (or any other Type "A" Article XX FA) prior to 12/1 (or after 12/1 if the player's former club offers salary arbitration), that team would lose their 2nd Round pick to the player's former team and the former team would also get a pick in the Supplememntal 1st Round (between the 1st and 2nd round).
One other thing to remember is that if a team signs more than one Type "A" FA where compensation is required, that team would lose multiple draft picks, but not all of the teams receiving the compensation draft picks would be able to get the signing team's 1st (or even 2nd) round pick.
For instance, if the Yankees were to sign three Type "A" free-agents this off-season, and all three players require compensation, and one of them is Howry, if the other two Type "A" free-agents they sign have higher statistical ratings than Howry, the Cubs would end up getting the Yankees' 2009 3rd round pick instead of the Yankees' 1st or 2nd round pick.
Again, I would expect the Cubs to offer arbitration to Dempster and Wood (and the Cubs would be thrilled if Demp and Woody would accept the offer), but they will not offer arbitration to Howry. And I would be shocked if Howry signs with a new club prior to 12/1.

Heyman, Wiatt, and Sharma are definitely reliable sources. Wiatt and Sharma have a ton of connections with the FO, and Heyman is one of the national guys who usually breaks stories first along with Rosenthal and Passan.
Twitter is even more nonsensical with names and rumors than usual right now. I'd wait for a real confirmation from someone reputable at this point before getting too worked up.
a'ite then. i mean, at least they're getting one of the best at a young/durable age even if there's a heavy price to pay for it.
i pretty much assumed this would be one of the last kinds of things they'd do...give up a top prospect (probably the best in the system) to get 1/2(ish) year of a reliever followed by multiple years locked in at his market value.
i wonder if there's other players going back/forth, too.
i mean, it's not like it's a horrible thing...this is just something that seems out of profile.
Suspend him for the rest of the year and get him ready for the Schwarber era?
Sadahev Sharma says the names are done. Torres and other parts for Chapman only.
i liked it better when Cubs were really good and likeable.
will be very curious how and if they address the DV incident.
We are coming into the realm of, ""this ain't the old Cubbies...", with the printing money machine coming online. They'll be able to handle it.
15m a year for 65-70 innings...phew.
i mean, technically he's worth it, but wow...the cubs? a'ite.
Heyman is reporting Trees + for Chapman is almost done. Rian Wiatt at BP Wrigleyville reports that the agreement is waiting on Chapman to agree to a 4-year, $60 million extension that is contingent on the trade.
Not scratched because of a headache.
Source: Cubs prospect Gleyber Torres was in fact scratched due to ongoing trade talks. Destination unknown, but Yankees definitely in play.
He also leads the NL in runs scored by 12 runs. But sure, no RBIs for a week, I feel it strong.
So conflicted
Torres a late scratch from the Pelicans game and no word of injury or signs of foul play with the unis. May be a trade a brewing after all?
Edit: now word he was a late scratch due to a "headache". Hmmm
Hopefully Zobrist is regaining his stroke and KB can move back down to third or fourth in the order. Did not realize the zero rbi's in over a week - glad Rizzo and Russell picking up the slack
Just had to ask, I guess.
Haven't had a big comeback win in a long time (at least it seems like a long time). Great feeling!
Rizzo should hold clinics on 2-strike hitting. Awesome.

Subject: [OMPI devel] [PATCH] Improving heterogeneous IB clusters support.
From: Vasily Filipov (vasily_at_[hidden])
Date: 2009-09-23 05:05:38
Some time ago Mellanox proposed design that should improve current
support for heterogeneous clusters (see Design.txt).The design was
accepted by IB vendors, and now we propose patch that adds a
heterogeneous cluster support. The path leaves one issue that we do not
resolve completely. If 2 different procs have different QPs
configuration (P/S/X) we print nice warning message that describes that
such configuration is not supported and it propose way to resolve the
issue. Theoretically it will be best to provide solution that
automatically will resolve the problem, but it will require significant
changes on openib blt that we donât want to introduce in this stage.
Please comment.
