Castro's Quest
The Savior knocked out 3 hits including his 9th home run last year and is up to 190 hits. That's 10 hits shy of the magic 200 mark for the math impaired. He has 15 games to do it, which I don't believe will be a problem unless Q-Ball decides he needs another life lesson on the bench. By my back of the envelope calculations, if he stays healthy, he's on pace to reach 3,000 hits by age 36, sometime during the 2026 season.
No pressure.
- Baseball America took to some list making and recently rated the Cubs 2005 draft as the worst of the lot. A look at the 2006 draft, the first under Tim Wilken sees them moving up 5 spots.
$11.5 million investment in Tyler Colvin (1), Jeff Samardzija (5) has yet to pay off.
That year the Cubs lost their 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks by signing Bob Howry (Type A), Scott Eyre (Type A) and Jacque Jones (Type B). Their 1st round pick was protected since it was in the top half of the draft. Other notable (notorious?) picks from that draft were Steve Clevenger, Jacob Renshaw (traded to Orioles for Trachsel), Chris Huseby ($1.3M bonus, released by Boston in August), Marcus Hatley, Matt Camp and Blake Parker.
- I've been trying to put together useful draft lists over at Wiklifield and have roughly gotten through 2009-2011. I think the 2009 one has some nifty information. You can now see bonus info that I can track down plus where the prospects are now. There's also a partial Cubs Draft Bonuses list that has started to come together. As I get more information inputted, the more it will fill out.
- Baseball Prospectus now has normalized sortabe minor league stats, although I'd prefer they defaulted to TAV rather than BWARP, cause who the hell would trust minor league fielding stats?
- According to Shawon Dunston Jr. and Arizona Phil, players report for Arizona Instructs this Thursday with the first game being next Friday, September 23rd.
- Poor John Gaub last night...makes his major league debut and is flawless in his first inning. Be nice to go out on a high note, but alas, Q-Ball decides to go a second inning with him and he ends up letting the first two runners on and they score.
- Tuesday's lineup
Castro SS, Barney 2B, Ramirez 3B, Pena 1B, LaHair RF, Soriano LF, Byrd CF, Soto C, Dempster P
Phillips 2B, Renteria SS, Votto 1B, Bruce RF, Alonso LF, Stubbs CF, Francisco 3B, Mesoraco C, Leake P
Cubs still in the 7th spot and going the wrong way.
- Smokies will battle Mobile (DBacks affiliate) in the Southern League Championship starting tomorrow. Marco Carrillo is the game 1 starter.
- Aramis Ramirez said that he wants a multi-year deal and is open to it being with the Cubs. That should make the offseason decision easy enough. Cubs should choose to exercise his $16M option, he wil then opt to void it and then the Cubs can offer him arbitration. He certainly won't accept it and the Cubs can get a first or second round pick for him if he signs elsewhere. And they still can try to negotiate a multi-year deal if they wish.
Re: Castro's Quest
Cashner made his first appearance since April and got his two outs including a strikeout.
Cashner pitched a few days ago - on the 9th.
Re: Castro's Quest
Yankees are the easy one.
I couldn't come up with the other two.
Colorado is actually really close (Helton, Giambi only 54 hits away).
Re: Castro's Quest
So that's why he didn't take Dempster out after 6 innings tonight. Way to go Q-ball, putting selfish interests ahead of the team's actual needs.
UPDATE: highest pitch count of the year for Dempster, 124 and rising, and most walks in a game this year. On verge of blowing any shot we have of coming back in this game, Q sits in the dugout counting his brain cell.
UPDATE 2: 129 pitches through 7. Dempster gets a brain dead Jay Bruce looking on a called 3rd strike, stranding runners at 1st and 3rd. Q greets Dempster in the dugout and asks if he can go all the way.

Re: Castro's Quest
Still viable (=playing somewhere) 2006 draftees are Colvin (1), Samardzija (5), Clevenger (7), Parker (16), Latham (29), Samson (34), Smith (35) and Hatley (39).
I only see Veal (2) still viable among Stockstill's class of '05.
Re: Castro's Quest
Latham was booted out of the organization for reasons unknown (to me) and he missed the 2009 season. Since his return last year he has had control issues, but maybe they still like his arm.
Samson is the guy who reminds me of Theriot, although he doesn't steal bases. Smokies mgr. Brian Harper seems to like Samson and has given him over 300 PAs in spite of competition at short from Gonzalez, Lake and Mota. It's true that Samson hasn't hit much in two seasons in double A.
Re: Castro's Quest
It had to do with this...
The Idaho Statesman - Dec 06 11:22 PM
Jordan Latham, a pitcher during the Boise Hawks 2007 season, was arrested early Thursday morning for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after the car he was driving hit a bump and launched into the front porch of a house at 22nd Avenue and Blaine Street, Boise police said.
Re: Castro's Quest

VA PHIL: Cubs 2006 6th round pick RHRP (ex-3B) Josh Lansford (Carney Lansford's son) is still active in the OAK organization.
BTW, Josh Lansford's brother Jared is also a pitcher in the OAK organization.
Re: Castro's Quest
A couple of items of note regarding the Cubs 2006 draft...
The 2006 draft was notable for the Cubs not having any picks in rounds 2-4, and then giving significant "over-slot" bonuses to a number of draft picks, including 5th round pick RHP Jeff Samardzija and 11th round pick RHP Chris Huseby (both eventually got "1st round money"), 14th round pick OF Drew Rundle (who got "2nd round" money"), 22nd round pick 3B Jovan Rosa and 34th round pick INF Nate Samson (both got "5th round money"), and 20th round pick RHP Kevin Kreier and 29th round pick RHP Jordan Latham (both got "6th round money").
Jordan Latham and Marcus Hatley were two of the last so-called "Draft & Follow" draft picks to sign with the Cubs. (3B Jovan Rosa and RHP Cedric Redmond were the other two).
The "Draft & Follow" rule allowed an MLB club to draft a player and then retain the rights to that player until a week before the next year's draft, as long as the player was eligible for selection in the next draft. So it applied mainly to JC players. ("Draft & Follow" was abolished starting with the 2007 draft). Now clubs retain the rights only to college seniors with no eligibility left until a week prior the next year's draft. (TCU RHP Steven Maxwell is the only unsigned 2011 draft pick the Cubs can still sign up until a week before the 2012 draft).
Latham threw in the mid-90's at Fitch Park in the days following the 2006 draft, but opted to return to the College of Southern Idaho for the 2006-07 school year when the Cubs didn't meet his bonus demands (and he was set to transfer to Arizona State if he hadn't signed in 2007). But the Cubs did eventually relent, and gave Latham 6th round money ($100K) to sign just prior to the deadline in May 2007.
Hatley was a JC outfielder (Palomar JC) with a power-arm (and zero secondary stuff) the Cubs converted to a RHP after he signed in May 2007, and then he had TJS in 2009, so it has taken him a while to develop.
Re: Castro's Quest
Az. Phil, are you seen the Instructional roster yet?
Re: Castro's Quest
soriano still sucks at LF. neat.
Re: Castro's Quest
Too bad we didn't need them this season.
Re: Castro's Quest
That reQuade quote is priceless... it's like someone else is controlling the playing time.
Re: Castro's Quest
Just to make it clear regarding Cubs AZ Instructional League team, players report to Fitch Park this Thursday (9/15), and the first league game (for the Cubs) is A WEEK FROM Friday (9/23).
The Cubs are scheduled to play 20 AZIL games (10 home & 10 road), everyday Monday-Saturday (no activity on Sundays).
MIL & CIN first games are this Friday 9/16 and they play each other four times before there are any other AZIL games involving other teams scheduled. Then CLE & SD play their first games next Tuesday 9/20, OAK, LAA, and AZ play their first games on Thursday 9/22, SF, TEX, and CUBS play their first games on Friday 9/23, COL, LAD, and CHW play their first games on Saturday 9/24, and KC and SEA play their first games on Monday 9/26.
MIL last game is on Friday 10/7, SEA & SD last games are on Saturday 10/8, LAD & CLE last games are on Wednesday 10/12, CHW, TEX & AZ last games are on Friday 10/14, CUBS, LAA, SF, COL, and OAK last games are on Saturday 10/15, and CIN & KC last games are on Tuesday 10/18.
The Mariners play the fewest number of AZIL games (10), while the Reds play the most AZIL games (26).
Re: Castro's Quest
Since we all seem to be okay on your overall player reporting, can I just make a suggestion that you don't leave out the attendance figures by mistake. I think you did that once last session. It was a huge gaffe but I let it go since there is no micropayment requirement on this site yet.
Re: Castro's Quest
YEah, that really pissed me off too.... :)
Re: Castro's Quest
What happened is, the Cubs asked me not to report the attendance for that game, because it was embarrassingly low.
Re: Castro's Quest
If Ryno did QBall, would we bash him?
Re: Castro's Quest
I doubt we would as much. I also doubt that he'd require it as much.
Rumor is (and I think the rumor is perpetuated by Ryno himself) that he has read some of the "sabermatic books".
One quick check I did on how that was working out with him... the guy who closed last night's game, isn't always used at the closer, and has pitched as many as three innings in a relief outing. In fact, 11 guys got 48 saves for the Iron Pigs this year, seven of them three or more. Those same 11 guys combined for 41 holds. Of the top three guys, the highest percentage of games they finished was 64%. Marmol, for comparison has finished 83% of his games.
For the uninitiated, one of the tenets of sabermatically managing is to use your best reliever in the most important situation, regardless of inning.
Re: Castro's Quest
you'll find that your relief observation scales to almost every AAA/minor team and it rarely has much to do with situational closing or pressure situation relief appearances.
btw, you realize he managed a AAA team of starter bats that were almost all 26-32+ years old and an average age of about 28? not that it's a bad thing, you play with what you got...but he's run a vet-heavy-playing-time team this year.
Re: Castro's Quest
Have you also noticed how crappy a lot of those vets are?
When your best player is Brandon Moss....bleccchhh.
How'd they win?
Re: Castro's Quest
yeah, pretty much the pitching. weak bats all around except for columbus and durham in the IL.
it's still weird seeing durham out, but they did lose desmond to the majors. columbus took them out.
-edit- columbus lost some players to the bigs, too...oh well...woo playoffs.
Re: Castro's Quest
jeebus, how did they win?
The brilliance of Ryne Sandberg?
Re: Castro's Quest
they would have won 20 more if they hired j.zuleta to rub the bats down with fruit.
Re: Castro's Quest
Bwahahaahaa!! "Hats...for bats...keep bats warm.."
Keith Law Goes to the Movies
Moneyball, the movie, is an absolute mess of a film, the type of muddled end product you'd expect from a project that took several years and went through multiple writers and directors. Even good performances by a cast of big names and some clever makeup work couldn't save this movie, and if I hadn't been planning to review it, I would have walked out.
Re: Castro's Quest
"Peter Brand, a.k.a. Paul Antipodesta"
Re: Castro's Quest
either way k.law lays out pretty much every fear i had for the film...and more...as a fan who knows how baseball works rather than coming at it as a casual film fan.
i've gone from "maybe" based on earlier reviews to "pass."
Re: Castro's Quest
"I wasn't as concerned with the script having Beane trade Carlos Pena to Detroit for a reliever and some money (as opposed to the actual three-team, seven-player deal including Jeff Weaver and Jeremy Bonderman) as I was with seeing Pena, an intelligent, gregarious person, depicted as a sullen Latino player."
K Law
Re: Castro's Quest
A little known fact about Moneyball is that a completely different film (Hendry!) was orginally planned, but the actor signed to play the lead died before the picture could be completed.
Re: Castro's Quest
worst heart attack death acting ever in Norma Rae...great film, though.
Re: Castro's Quest
Re: Castro's Quest
Tell me if this bit rings true to anyone:
Howe is nothing but a holier than thou obstacle for Beane whose entire motivation for his stubbornness is his desire for a contract extension - a hopelessly tired plot device that makes for a one-dimensional character.

Sure, no marks and some inconsistencies in the witness's statements. But firing your gun into garage wall immediately after an argument and punching out your car window is still threatening and out of control behavior. There was certainly enough for MLB to think it warranted a 30-game suspension.
I'd prefer they be flexible with the closing situation depending on matchups. You're not really adding a lefty reliever if you use him strictly as a closer.
Stockpiling young talent isn't only for trading for someone like Chapman though. Even with an elite closer winning the World Series is basically a crap shoot so the key is to get to the playoffs as much as possible and not just mortgage everything on one year. Once you get there an elite bullpen certainly helps but the playoffs can be won by one hitter or starting pitcher getting hot (Murphy, Molina, Baumgardner) and a closer might not be able to stop that.
I'm also not crazy about press convictions. As the police report noted, there were no marks on the lady in question. There's a TMZ link (of course) to her police pictures, as well.
I think the only way this trade goes real bad is if Cubbery intervenes and Chapman is suddenly bad for some reason.
I am right there with you closing in on 60.
I don't care that much about "mortgaging" one player who is not only blocked by two guys, but is not ready to hit the majors for at least a couple years.
There is no reason why this team, this year, can't have a real shot at something NONE of us have experienced.
Further, I don't feel that even if they fall short that they have ruined their farm system.
I have made my opinion clear here, with others, Warren was shit on the Cubs save one spot start.
Trading for Warren, Warren sucking, getting Warren back for Chapman plus 3 prospects, sounds like Revenge of The Yankees on the former Boston executive. Old rivalries never die.
I pray to the heavens above Chapman doesn't suck for some reason, or he'll be booed out of town faster than a Todd Hundley revival meeting.
I'm kind of nostalgic for the Schwarber-for-Miller rumors.
This offseason, after some ridiculous playoff run and Chapman saving every game from here until the end of the postseason striking out 27/9innings, I welcome anyone to quote this thread and call me a dummy: I hate this trade, and my hate is 2 parts Chapman makes this team less likeable and 1 part that's a ridiculous overpay for 30 regular season innings and, at tops, 10 postseason innings. Already hoping they don't extend him.
btw...Thanks AZ Phil. I'm really enjoying your take on this trade.
I'm a bit disappointed on the Warren experience. Essentially they gave Castro away for crickets (OK, well they signed Zobrist with the Castro salary dump). Otherwise one might look at it as Chapman for Castro and our #1 minors prospect (Torres) + McKinney/Crawford. Seems pricey for a 2 month rental. We will see if this price tag is that steep in a relative way based on the remaining deadline deals for relievers.
Yep. One of the great things about this team (in addition to being really good at baseball) was the "likable" factor. Feels a bit different now. Who knows...maybe Chapman will be the king of the dance parties.
Here are some possible corresponding minor league moves we might see in the aftermath of the Chapman trade:
SOUTH BEND to MYRTLE BEACH: OF Donnie Dewees and INF Bryant Flete
EUGENE to SOUTH BEND: OF Robert Garcia and INF Vimael Machin
There is really no reason to replace Billy McKinney at Tennessee because both Chris Coghlan and Jorge Soler are doing their rehab at Tennessee.
And there are plenty of pitchers at Iowa. No need to replace Warren at AAA. .
I am 70 years old. The Cubs last played in the World Series in 1945. I was born in 1946. I hate to lose a prospect like Torres, but when the opportunity is there to get that World Series ring, you go for it. This was the idea in stock piling all this young talent. I would like to see Reddick added now and the Cubbies should be done.
I would expect Richard to accept an optional assignment because based on how he's played this season, there is a decent chance that he won't find work elsewhere. Rather stay and potentially get a ring. Same goes for Coghlan since he's struggled mightily this year.
Edwards should not go down. He's pitched very well and Maddon is very impressed with him. I would expect Grimm to go down for Cahill so he can get back on track (he's pitched better in July, but he's not getting enough appearances).
chitownmvp01: Indeed Clayton Richard would seem to be odd man out once Chapman reports, but Richard might accept a minor league assignment if he is promised a return to Chicago on 9/1 when MLB Active List rosters expand (Richard has minor league ioptions left).
The only player in the deal that would cause me a second thought is Gleyber Torres.
McKinney and Crawford are decent prospects but both are redundant/replaceable in the system and Warren was really only a middle-reliever or #6 starter, so to me it's really just Torres for Chapman.

Read an Excerpt
'Is that even legal?'
Ava Lange glared at the row of suited clones flanking Daniel Arnot in his high-rise Sydney office. Smugness fattened their expressions; they were all too used to getting their own way.
Four against one. Nice.
'Can they do this, Dan? Mid-contract?' Her use of they was no accident. The word demarcated a battlefield, with the network suits on one side and her on the other. Between them stretched a mile of barbed tangles—a very apt representation of Ava's feelings towards all of them right now. Particularly the man in the centre, whose fringed brown eyes stared steadily back at her.
'We can, Ava, yes.'
Disappointment bit deep as Daniel declared his allegiance. Then anger surged in like a king wave, swamping any anxiety she had about being called in today. She'd assumed she was here to be fired, not promoted.
The former held vastly more appeal.
She stalled her hands before they smacked down on his desk, settling them instead with deceptive care. Blessedly, they were steady. 'You're telling me keeping my job as landscape consultant for Urban Nature is now conditional on me getting in front of the camera?'
Clone Number One eagerly spoke up. 'There is provision in your contract for AusOne to modify the manner in which you—'
Dan looked askance at the man until he fell silent, then he turned and reclaimed her gaze steadily. 'Test audiences loved your brief appearance on the behind-the-scenes episode last season,' Dan said, as though that explained it all. 'We'd like to give you a fly and see what happens.'
It had been a long time since she'd last swum in the choco-latey depths of his eyes. Ava had to steel herself against the urge. 'I have no interest in being on television.'
His jaw tightened, and some perverse part of her delighted to know she was troubling him. That she was impacting on him at all. But he wasn't done yet; those eyes were at their blankest when that mind was working its hardest.
'Ava, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' he said. 'You should take it.'
She pulled her hands off the polished surface of his desk, leaving a heat-aura in the shape of her slender fingers. It evaporated into nothing, along with her words in the face of Dan's blind determination to get his way. Her pulse picked up and she straightened.
'I have no interest in being on television, Dan. I'm saying no.'
Clone Number One piped up again. 'You can't say no. You're contracted.'
Ava's eyes flicked to him, to see how serious he was about that. He had the intense look of a feral dog scenting blood. Ava imagined just how rabid he'd be in court, and how many prize horses her father would have to sell to help her mount a legal defence. She swallowed the discomfort.
Seasoned leather protested as Dan settled his surfer's shoulders deeper into his chair. He silently lifted two fingers and all three lawyers rose as one. If she hadn't been so furious, Ava might have laughed.
She kept her eyes fixed on Dan's dark brown ones as the clones filed past her to the door. It was only when his posture changed that she knew they were alone. He ran a carefully manicured hand through his hundred-dollar haircut.
Manicures, Dan? Really? The Daniel Arnot she remembered had paid about as little attention to his cuticles as he had to politics. If he couldn't surf it, he couldn't see it. As a girl, she'd dreamed he'd turn that singular focus in her direction— just once. Now he had, she wanted to bolt from the room.
He looked at her from beneath an untroubled brow. 'Ava…'
'Don't!' She shot to her feet, recognising that honey-smooth tone all too well. He'd used it on her half his life when he wanted something. Today was not the day to discover whether or not it still had power over her. She prowled across his office, venting a warning over her shoulder. 'I know where this is going. You sharpened your negotiation skills on me and my brother growing up, remember?'
'Ava, if you say no you'll be breaking your contract with the network and the piranhas waiting outside will pull you to pieces in court. Is that what you want?'
A horribly expensive and public legal case? That was the exact opposite of what she wanted. She just wanted to grow her consultancy business and build herself some kind of financial security. Right now she couldn't afford to fight, or the bad publicity. Heck, she could barely afford the taxi fare to this meeting! Every cent she earned these days she plunged into her business.
She made a beeline for the ornamental black bamboo in the corner, where it was strangled in its constricting pot. Its roots had nowhere to go.
I can empathise entirely.
She spun around, thick hair swinging. 'Don't you know me at all, Dan? What made you think I'd go for this?'
'Common sense. You don't have a whole lot of options here, Ava.'
Irritation hissed out of her and she crossed towards him. 'I enjoy my job the way it is: behind-the-scenes, designing the gardens, planning the themes.'
'You'll still get to do all that; you'll just be doing it on camera. A handful of set-ups per shoot and the rest is unchanged.' He rubbed his chin and Ava lost her train of thought for a moment, suddenly imagining it was her palm tracing over the stubble growing along the square angles of his jaw.
She shook her head and doubled her focus. 'Except that I'll be on set all the time, instead of in my home office working on the designs.'
Long fingers waved her concern away. 'We'll get you a mobile office.'
The speed with which he offered a six-figure sweetener took her aback. His cashed-up world was a million miles from her carefully budgeted one, but even so it was suspiciously generous. She sank onto one hip and tipped her head to study him.
'What's in this for you?' His jaw set and she knew she was onto something. 'You know I'd never go for something which puts me right in the public eye. So what is it, Dan? Why the pressure?'
'Ava…' There it was again—that tone. 'Be reasonable.'
Heat roared through her body. 'You're asking me to give up my home, my business and my life to give you what you want. I think I have a right to know what you're getting out of it. Money? Promotion? A corner office?'
That one hit home. A tic flared in his left eye, but he didn't bite. 'One season, Ava. Thirteen shows. Then your contract expires and you can negotiate freely.'
She snorted. The last time she'd been free had been six months ago, right before she'd signed on with AusOne. Back then, the promise of a year's fixed income and the chance to quadruple her portfolio had been like a siren's song. And it had been going to plan for the most part.
But this… After everything her family had done for him. What had happened to him?
Fury and a healthy dose of Lange mulishness made her rash.
'This is hardly a negotiation. I wonder what my father would have to say about you press-ganging me into this.'
Like a disturbed tiger snake he shot out of his chair and advanced around the desk, stopping a mere breath away from her. Ava met his stare and filtered air in and out through her lips rather than risk inhaling his intoxicating scent.
Nine years had changed nothing.
'He'd say Thank you, Dan, for making sure Ava's livelihood is secure—that she has food in the fridge and a future in the industry she loves.' Brown eyes turned nearly black as he glared down at her. 'Not to mention for the extraordinary boost the publicity will give your business.'
He radiated furious warmth, and Ava had to force herself not to bask in it. Not to look at him and think about how well the extra nine years suited him. 'I don't value the publicity and I don't consider hosting a gardening show will do diddly to help my career—my serious career—in landscape design. Quite the opposite, in fact.'
Colour streaked along those sensational cheekbones. 'This would be the same gardening show that has bankrolled your fledgling consultancy, yes? A show you obviously have little respect for.'
Guilt intensified her heat. She'd used his television programme to kick-start her business and they both knew it. Being a hypocrite didn't sit well with her. She'd always prided herself on her honesty, too. Curse him!
'You might as well put me in a bikini and drape me over an expensive car,' she said. Heat flared in his eyes before they dulled to blank, behind-the-desk Dan. 'How many people do you suppose will want to commission me to design their corporate landscaping projects if I'm a poster-girl for television? You're bargaining with my professional self-respect.'
Conscious of her shaking voice, she bought some calm-down time by filling a glass with cool water from an ornate pitcher and taking a long, slow sip. Then she crossed the thick wool carpet and emptied the remainder onto the parched bamboo. The hint of a smile on his face when she glanced at him sent her roaring straight back up the Richter scale to furious.
'What?' she snapped.
'You love your plants. It's part of who you are.' Sincerity glittered in his eyes. 'Why not let that enthusiasm and expertise show for everyone to see? No more getting irritated when a presenter mispronounces the Latin or dumps a plant into unprepared soil. You virtually write the scripts anyway—why not simply be the one to deliver them?'
She narrowed her eyes, thinking furiously. She was trapped by her contract; the lawyers knew it and Dan knew it. They were just waiting for her to catch on. There was no way in the world she would be able to match one of Australia's biggest television networks legally, and neither could she afford to resign. In fact, the pay rise Dan was offering meant she could wash her hands of AusOne at the end of her contract and still be on track with her business plan.
Just six months.
'Ava, they have you over a barrel. You really don't have a choice here.'
Her head snapped up. No way was she going to cave just because she couldn't afford a five-hundred-dollar-an-hour lawyer. The days of her just giving in to Daniel Arnot were well and truly over.
'I get to be hands-on,' she said. 'No swanning in for two shots and then leaving assistants to do all the work…'
'Fine. Butnot at the expense of your designing,' he countered.
'Naturally. And Shannon and Mick stay with me.'
'I couldn't agree more.'
'You'll put it in writing?' she parried.
His lips thinned at that one.
'Come on, Dan, you're not short of a lawyer or three to whip something up for you.'
He exhaled, and shoved his hands deep into his designer pockets. 'I'm disappointed you think you had to ask, Ava. I swear I've tried to make this a good deal for you. It's happening; you might as well just…' He waved frustrated hands.
'Lie back and think of England?'
A phone rang in an office somewhere. His mouth set dangerously. 'Thirteen episodes, Ava. That's it.'
And then she saw it: the tiniest glimmer of the younger man she remembered. Deep in those brown eyes was some fear that she'd take her skills and walk out. This mattered to him. That was her undoing. Instantly she was sixteen again, and every protective urge she'd spent years exorcising came bubbling to the surface. It galled her that she was still biologically opposed to hurting him.
'You hold my self-respect in your hands,' she said quietly. 'My career.'
He sighed and held her gaze. 'I know.'
'Give me your word it will be handled tastefully.' That I will be.
'You have it.' He stretched out a large hand. 'On your mother's memory.'
Ava glanced at his long fingers, at the tanned hand where it emerged from an expensive cuff. She itched to feel that smooth skin. But she forced herself to remember which side of the battlefield he'd chosen just minutes before. She stood straighter.
'If you had the slightest respect for my mother's memory you wouldn't be screwing her daughter over to further your own career.'
Even after nine years she still had enough residual hurt left in her to be satisfied as the colour leached entirely from Dan's face. Then she turned and walked from his office. It would be too easy to fall back on old times and trust him. She had to remember he was no longer Steve's best mate and her de facto big brother.
He was one of them.
The enemy.
'You are kidding, right?' Ava looked at her brother in confusion. 'I can't afford this!'
A magnificent home spread out before her, the deep blue of Sydney Harbour reflecting in its many tinted windows. It was sensational. Shooting six days a week for Urban Nature meant the ninety-minute commute to her south coast home just wasn't doable. Steve had warned her that city accommodation wouldn't come cheap, but even so she hadn't appreciated how much of her lucrative pay-rise would be eaten away.
He'd offered to scout affordable rentals for her in the week it would take her to pack up her life in Flynn's Beach. They'd looked at three already, but this opulence was by far his most ludicrous suggestion.
'You don't get it all.' Steven Lange took her shoulders and twisted her gently to face the east side of the residence. 'You get that bit.'
'What bit?'
'This bit.' A smooth voice cut in from her right, and Dan walked towards them, a newly cut key dangling from his fingers. She met his gaze evenly, almost defiantly, hoping he'd never realise she harboured the slightest remorse for the way she'd last spoken to him.
He clapped his hand on her brother's shoulder. 'Hey, mate. Good to see you.'
Steve grinned. 'Danno.'
A bad feeling came over her. Oh, he hadn't…
'Come on, I'll show you around my humble abode,' Dan said.
She turned and glared at Steve as Dan guided the way to a refurbished arched gate in the large rammed-earth wall that obscured the rest of the house from view. Ava's heart leapt as she stepped through the pretty gate into a small garden space, and her designer's eye immediately started doing its thing. There wasn't a lot of planning evident, but it was lush, flowering and completely unexpected in a house as modern as this one. An ancient birdbath leaned skew-whiff in the garden's heart. It was designer crooked, dotted with clusters of moss, and looked as if it belonged in a home magazine.
She fought to keep her face from betraying how much the whole setting appealed to her. It was precisely the sort of thing she might design.

I have an tcl script that is supposed to send a grep command to a server, but will only execute the command if I put another expect with exp_send immediately after.
set spawn_id [::SshLibrary::connect **.***.**.*** username password] ;#just ssh, essentially
set cmd "grep \"$str\" /var/log/syslog/$smtsIp"
expect -re $::LinuxLIbrary::prompt { exp_send "$cmd\r"}
expect -re $::LinuxLibrary::prompt { exp_send "echo \" \"\r }
So, through experimentation, I've found out that the first expect will only exp_send its command if the second expect statement is present (Similarly for the second expect command, regarding the presence of the first) even though they expect the same thing and the second statement is entirely useless. I'm unsure of what the problem is, it seems totally illogical. Any suggestions?

Pat Robertson: What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. A million monkeys typing for a million years would eventually produce Shakespeare.
And once in a blue moon, Televangelist and 700 Club head Pat Robertson and I agree on something.
When asked about his position on the decriminalization of marijuana, Robertson said the following:
"I just think it's shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardcore criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of controlled substance. The whole thing is crazy."
Umm, can I get an "Amen?"

Dear Founding President,
You are a force to reckon with in the waste industry. Your knowledge and skill is what will be continually relevant in building the industry. Your passion for sustainable waste management and to see your Country, our Country, position fitly among the Committee of Nations led to the birth of WAMASON.

BRYAN, Texas -- The Missouri Tigers are looking for a bounce back season in 2013. The Tigers went 5-7 last season and 2-6 in SEC play.
Missouri had a number of injures in 2012 so head coach Gary Pinkel is making some changes this season. The Tigers will not have two a day practices leading up to the season. Pinkel says he wants a healthy football team. "If we have a healthy football team we will be pretty good. Last year by the middle of September we were not the same football team so those are the things were are going to do different and we are excited about doing it."
The Missouri offense should get a boost with running back Henry Josey coming back after missing all of last season recovering from a knee injury sustained late in the 2011 season. Quarterback James Franklin will also be back this year after missing time last year with injuries. Franklin only played in nine games last season.
Missouri will open the 2013 season August 31 at home against Murray State. The Tigers will host Texas A&M in their final regular season game on November 30.

Gone But Not Forgotten
It wasn't your time to go
So, we just want you to know
We think about you everyday
There's so much left for us to say
You died while I was young
But it was still hard for us to hold on
You were a huge part in all our life's
Your death was a pain like a thousand knifes
To everyone but especially your mom
Just know that in our hearts you live on
I hope there's radios in heaven so you can listen to this song
I want you to know in our hearts you live on
I wish we could have you back for one last day
So we could all say goodbye the right way
I wish ...

As he undressed he began to rub and feel his hands all over his body, and reveled in the sensations it brought. Damien's mind wandered to more pleasurable pursuits, and he wondered...Read On

Study Buddy becomes much more
I'd had a problem with some college work and taken it to David, my tutor; when I left his study, my balls were drained, my butt was still tingling from the stretching his cock had given me and I had a crib sheet that explained the problem with the work. So when he introduced me to Tom and suggested we become 'study buddies', I had high hopes. Tom had a slightly feminine look to him,...Read On

I was sitting at the bar one Saturday evening, drinking my beer and hoping to get lucky. Even though my looks are said to be; easy on the eye, finding an interesting fuck can sometimes be tedious.

MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Congress convened hearings today on what should be done to strengthen the Food and Drug Administration. One of the things that came up was contamination of pet food with melamine, an industrial chemical that's not supposed to be found in food.
NPR's Richard Knox reports that the pet food episode illustrates a much bigger problem with the safety of imported food ingredients.
RICHARD KNOX: Chinese food producers say it's an open secret there that the chemical melamine is often used to spike wheat and rice products that are added to animal food. Because melamine is rich in nitrogen, adding it is a cheap way to make food ingredients look like they contain more protein than they really do. But FDA officials freely acknowledge that the contamination of pet food with melamine took them by surprise.
Dr. DAVID ACHESON (Assistant Commissioner for Food and Safety, FDA): Melamine is not something that is going to go high on the list of the toxic agents that you'd have concerns about. This illustrates the need to think outside the box.
KNOX: That's Dr. David Acheson, who, today, became the FDA's assistant commissioner for food safety, a new position. The FDA worries about known toxins and melamine, a byproduct of coal used to make plastics, wasn't known to be very toxic. But Acheson says the contamination of pet food, which is known to have killed 16 U.S. pets and sickened thousands of others, has taught scientists something new.
Dr. ACHESON: This situation has become more complex than just melamine. One of the things that we have learned in recent weeks is that this is not just melamine, but it's melamine-related compounds. It would appear from animal studies that are ongoing right now that the combination of melamine with the melamine-related compounds is actually a greater concern than just the melamine alone.
KNOX: In combination, these chemicals can cause crystals to form in the kidneys of an animal that eats contaminated food. Older animals and presumably humans would be more susceptible because they have lower kidney function. There's no evidence that people have been harmed by eating meat contaminated with melamine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is looking for cases of kidney failure that might be due to melamine but so far hasn't found any.
The FDA is now stopping all shipments of protein concentrates at the border until they can be tested for melamine. Experts say the melamine episode dramatically illustrates a major problem with the safety of food ingredients, more and more of which are coming from China. The problem is not just with the FDA. Peter Kovacs, a consultant for the food ingredient industry, says users of imported additives should have been more alert.
Mr. PETER KOVACS (Food ingredient industry consultant): It's fairly routine that you test the protein content by measuring the nitrogen level. And, of course, if the nitrogen level is too high, it should immediately give a concern why this product's reading is too high for nitrogen.
KNOX: The problem extends to additives such as vitamin C and vitamin A, much of which now come from China. Kovacs says a German manufacturer of infant formula recently found some vitamin A from China that was contaminated with bacteria, fortunately before it was added to the formula. William Hubbard, a former FDA official, who now works for the Coalition for a Stronger FDA, says the agency is ill equipped to deal with adulteration in a rising tide of food ingredients from abroad.
Mr. WILLIAM HUBBARD (Coalition for a Stronger FDA): This melamine example should be a wake-up call to decision makers in Washington that something needs to happen to improve the FDA import program. I think there's no question that this melamine example is a case of there but for the grace of God went some humans.
KNOX: Hubbard says the FDA needs many more food inspectors. He says it also needs more legal authority, not only to stop contaminated food at the border but to inspect the foreign food products before they're shipped, as the Department of Agriculture now does with imported beef.
