Ndure Installer for PC 3.1
Posted 01 September 2007 - 01:10 AM
NKpatcher 11_U04: Better nkpatcher with more functions. This version of nkpatcher is more modular. Its possible to change LED/Video/Fan/dashboard path/Retail-Basic settings on the fly by placing runtime config files in E:\NKP11\ folder.For a better description and changelog read NKP11_U04 readme.
Basic/Retail Option: Switching between Basic and Retail is done by nkpatcher. Setup creates same set of files for both installation.
XBOXHDM Installer: Fixed xboxhdm script bugs.
Clock Check: Clock check is disabled by default. It can be enabled by selectiong "enable clock check" option in softmod and nkpatcher settings.
eeprom backup: instead of evox.. this release includes eeprom_reader by xman954.. Which will backup the eeprom in E:\NKP11\ folder.. virtual eeprom also been moved to E:\NKP11\ so just backing up the eeprom will take care of virtual eeprom.
Ndure Installer: Completely recoded. Its more flexible and esier to use. No need to select kernel separately for font and ST.DB, selecting kernel once will reflect changes on other settings.

good to hear that you made a new version of this fine softmod tool.
Did you also upgrade the Unleasx version that comes with it?
The previous version had the option to install the ndts rescue tools. Are these installed by default now?
The previous rescue dashboard was booted after a new bios was loaded with the Phoenix Bios Loader. (To disable the shadowc and the virtual eeprom). Is this still so with the xman954 eeprom reader? Or is that program always reading out the eeprom chip, even when the virtual eeprom is enabled?
If you used the C and E stock files of a updated dashboard, the previous dashboard left some stuff on the C partition. That caused the softmod to generate a disk full error when it copied the filler files to the harddisk. Has their anything changed about that? Is the virtual C partition still located on the real C partition, or did you change that location to E:\NKP11?
I know I could download the package and try it out. I could figure out most of the answers myself. I think this information is also usefull for others, and you should have the answers readily available... That's why I ask these questions here.
thanks in advance.

so you will need to use the NDTS or E:\NKP11\EEPROM_off.bin to update/replace (after the first usage of the backup program)
for the advanced user it is probably best just to permanently disable the virtual eeprom
by using E:\NKP11\EEPROM_off.bin, especially if you change HDTV setting frequently
BTW Kingroach, good work on the new version
like the DDAE to xonline option, thats a new one

yes I used the newest unleashx version..
The ndure rescue tools are installed by default now..The eeprom_backup tool is run by ndts which runs PBL.. so the virtual eeprom will be disabled..
As far as I know.. if you updated previous dashboard, they left xbox.xtf and xbox book.xtf file in the C:\root. Those are deleted ( both by the installer and xboxhdm script).. In the xboxhdm script, it copies rescue dash ( evox) to C:\shadowc\ after it copies all the files.. so even if it fails to copy there will be about 1.5MB space left in C drive..
virtual C shadowc file is in the C:\shadowc\ folder.. only the virtual eeprom location has been changed..
@krayzie.. thnx for pinning.. yes its available in the xbins.

First I would like to say that you're amazing for taking the time to keep this project updated
I installed using the an older ndure tutorial I had found but used the newest version of ndure which was a little bit confusing. I was able to do the hotswap and got everything perfect the first time through but wanted to make xbmc my main dash, this is where I kinda broke the install and after messing with it for a while just installed ndure using option 2, something about replacing C:\ files and that got it back. Now I have a couple questions
Why is there no shadowc folder in my C:\ partition and I cant write/read to it but I can still see everything in it.
Which partition is supposed to be used for movie/music storage and such, I wasn't able to find the details for each partition except for the one that was on the main unleash screen which was nowhere near the amount of room that should be free on the HD.
I'm also in the process(taking a while noone seeding) of getting slayer's rar so I can do a fresh retail install with everything and not have a weird install that I ghettorigged to work.
Posted 17 September 2007 - 05:43 PM
there is a shadowc in the xbox.. when you look into c drive using ftp, you see the shadowc which has original dashboard files in it.. you can see real C if you place a file called shadowc_off.bin in E:\NKP11\ folder or run E:\ndts\default.xbe
normally there is about 4 GB E drive. There you can store some movies/games.. Also if you have a seagate hard drive, then you can format F drive to get extra 2 GB on F drive..

But, originally, the fan setting in the toolset would change the default fan setting, but in this one, the fan just seems to run at about 70% all the time, and only changes in the dashboard, and kicks up to 70% once i launch a game, which is a little noisy lol... Know a way to change it?
Posted 18 September 2007 - 01:10 AM
use a hex editor to create a 1 byte file and FTP it to you xbox
$19 = 50%
$32 = 100%
(fan speed in % / 2 = hex value)
there's also LED.BIN and VIDEO.BIN options

bit0 = 480P
bit1 = VGA
Posted 20 September 2007 - 04:02 PM
Also, previous to doing this softmod I accidently formatted my C drive on my xbox so my MS dash is gone. Everytime I try to launch the MS dash from UnleashX it just relaunches UnleashX. How can I get my MS dash back?
Thanks in advance and thanks roach for making ndure!

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
After more than 25 years of research, a vaccine to prevent AIDS remains elusive. A new vaccine being developed at Mymetics is drawing attention because of its unique approach. The vaccine provides both first-line mucosal and second-line cellular immunity, according to the company. It is designed to block early transmission of the virus at mucosal surfaces, preventing it from spreading throughout the body.
Called MYMV101, the vaccine combines a peptide that stimulates mucosal immunity with a modified gp41 antigen for additional cellular immunity. The antigens are delivered via virosomes, which are lipid membranes modeled after envelope viruses. These lipid-based carriers contain functional fusion viral proteins and rationally designed antigens. Virosomes fuse with target cells, but they do not replicate. The virosome platform was created at Berna Biotech and improved by Virosome Biologics, which Mymetics acquired in 2009.
The route of administration of MYMV101 is unusual, too. The vaccine is first injected intramuscularly then followed by an intranasal booster dose. This approach induces IgA antibodies at mucosal surfaces to block viral entry, as well as IgG antibodies circulating in the blood. "Our vaccine represents a first line of defense before the virus can settle in the tissues and spread within the body. Targeting a virus before it enters the body is probably more efficacious than after it invades the body and infects it," says Jacques-Francois Martin, CEO.
Mymetics researchers were inspired by observations that some men and women in Africa remain HIV-negative, despite being regularly exposed to HIV during unprotected sex. Morgane Bomsel, Ph.D., at INSERM in Paris, a key collaborator with Mymetics, discovered the reason for this natural resistance—the vaginal and rectal secretions of resistant individuals contain specific IgA antibodies. Dr. Bomsel showed that HIV enters human mucosal tissue by a transcytosis mechanism, and that IgA antibodies against a specific part of the gp41 protein could block this entry.
Most pathogens enter their hosts through mucosal surfaces, such as the respiratory, genito-urinary, or gastrointestinal tracts. They migrate in the bloodstream to organs where they replicate. Classic vaccines trigger mostly IgG antibodies in blood, but not IgA antibodies at the point of entry. Based on Dr. Bomsel's results, researchers at Mymetics designed a vaccine formulation that induces IgA antibodies at the mucosal level. Most other HIV immunization projects have targeted IgG antibodies, or specific cytotoxic cells against HIV in the blood.

Saturday, December 21, 2013
The Wando Warriors rolled back into the win column Friday night with a 58-46 win over the James Island Charter Trojans at home.
After allowing a season-high 76 points Tuesday in Summerville, Wando (8-1) locked James Island down defensively, holding the Trojans to eight or fewer points in each of the first three quarters.
James Island (1-3) didn't find its first points until nearly four minutes into the game. The Trojans were limited to just one field goal in the second quarter while the Warriors stretched open a 24-14 lead by halftime.
"It was great to see that type of effort on defense," Wando head coach David Eaton said. "That's what we've been preaching the last three days. So I love that we came out, played hard, and that they listened and really wanted to execute on defense."
Amp Moore hit a three to jumpstart a 9-2 Warriors' run through the first three minutes of the third quarter. Moore scored 14 of his team-high 16 points in the second half.
Andrew Glover knocked down three threes in the fourth quarter to help stretch the Warriors' advantage as wide as 19 with four minutes left to play. James Island chipped away at the gap late with five different players scoring at least three points in the fourth quarter. The Trojans climbed within 12 in the final minutes before the Warriors closed the door on the game and the season series.
"I think we finally decided in the second half, we want to break this game open a little bit," Eaton said. "We showed a little bit of urgency on offense and kept the pressure on them with our defense."
Brady Schuck led all scorers with 18 points for James Island. Glover and Jamez Rogers each finished with 13 for Wando.
This season's Warriors continue Wando's recent string of dominance over James Island with the program's fourth straight season sweep. Wando hasn't lost to its former Region VII foe since February 2009.
Wando also regains some of its early momentum as it heads into this year's Roundball Classic Tournament. The Warriors tip off in the first round 4 p.m. Dec. 27 against Porter-Gaud at North Charleston High School.
"It's a breath of fresh air," Eaton said. "After you lose, you worry until you get that next win so I think it was important for us to get this one tonight."
Wood leads Wando to season's first win
The Wando Lady Warriors picked up their first win of the season Friday, pushing past James Island 55-50 at home.
Warriors guard Courtney Wood turned in a game-high 27 points, bookending the night with 13 in the first quarter and 10 in the fourth. Wood gave Wando (1-7) its first lead of the night with a three from the corner with four minutes to play. James Island (1-4) came as close as one point with two minutes remaining before Wood knocked down another three to reopen a four-point lead and secure the win.
Sierra Williams and Mackenzie Tillman combined for six threes in the first half to help James Island to an early 31-24 lead. James Island stretched its lead to 12 points by the end of third quarter. Wando answered with a 16-0 run through the first four and a half minutes of the fourth quarter.
Kimberly Smalls scored 10 for Wando. Williams led James Island with 12 points.

The 10 Most Bizarrely Interchangeable Celebrities
They say we all have a doppelganger out there somewhere, almost assuredly plotting our downfall. That's why you should always dive tackle and pull at the face of anybody who looks even a little bit like you, just to be safe. That's sound advice, and it applies to the everyman as much as it does to celebrities: Hollywood just isn't big enough for two Bill Paxtons, even if one of them is Bill Pullman. So any day now, expect E! News to report on the impromptu death-match between...
#9 - #10. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon
Remember, this isn't just about physical identity. Looking at the pictures, any red-blooded Pats fan could easily spot the differences between these two meat-faced Southies. But there's something in their larger persona that causes your brain to misfire when you try to distinguish one from the other. The world just doesn't need two guys trying and hilariously failing to convince audiences that Bostonians are smarter than you think.
Mark Wahlberg made his fame by rapping and showing his underpants. Despite the extrovert briefs and the ever-present Funky Bunch that still, to this day, follows him everywhere he goes, Mark Wahlberg seems like the more down to earth one. He's also less successful, and generally warrants B-movie roles like The Happening. Matt Damon is the more Hollywood of the two actors: He was, at least briefly, the go-to A-Lister for white guy screen filler. He gets both the high-profile and arthouse roles - he's the guy from Good Will Hunting, after all - and you can apparently ride that cachet for ten years, at least.
So it's quiz time: Who was in the Brothers Grimm, the ill-advised tongue-in-cheek action reboot of a collection of fairy tales? That's straight to video caliber premise, right there. Gotta be Wahlberg.
Nope! Damon. Bah, that was an easy one.
What about I Heart Huckabees, the rambling existentialist lecture-comedy? Art house fluff. That's Damon all the way.
Nah, Marky marked that one; it belongs to him now.
Now here's where it gets tricky: They're both proud former Bostonians. Two Southie white boys, one trying to hold onto his roots, and one still struggling to overcome some criminal connotations. So which one was in The Departed - the Boston mob flick about both of those things? Oscar quality says Damon; but gritty subject matter says Wahlberg.
It's a tossup, but I'm going with Damon.
Wrong answer!
Ah, so it was Wahlberg...
Wrong answer!
#7 - #8. Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg
The world does not need two human avatars for the concept of "getting beat up in high school a lot." Yet we have both Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg awkwardly pawing at the blouse of Hollywood right now. The physical resemblance is pretty strong here, but both have their flagship roles:
Michael Cera was George Michael in Arrested Development.
Jesse Eisenberg was the kid in Zombieland that everybody thought was Michael Cera.
One stars in quirky nerd movies about love, like Juno and Scott Pilgrim, while the other stars in slightly more serious blockbusters, like the aforementioned Zombieland and The Social Network.
So it's quiz time:
One Day Like Rain, a film about a misunderstood teenage girl and a science experiment. That's easy: Girls, misunderstandings and science? Total Cera territory.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist? Toss-up. It's romantic and quirky, but also a bit more approachable than Cera's traditional fare. Probably Eisenberg? Nope, Cera with the double fake-out.
Squid and the Whale, the Oscar bait drama about families coping with loss (I assume, even though I've never seen it, because they're friggin' all about families coping with loss). The arthouse vibe screams Cera. But no, it was Eisenberg.
Here's where it gets rough: A coming of age story about foul-mouthed young people dealing with the inevitable separation after school while also struggling to accept personal responsibility?
Ah, bullshit. That's cake. Everybody remembers McLovin'! Superbad. Cera. Boom. Out.
Except I was actually talking about Adventureland.
It's okay to be confused: It was by the same people that did Superbad. They probably meant to cast Cera in the pseudo-sequel, but ran into Eisenberg at the supermarket, accidentally gave him the part, and didn't want to make things awkward when he showed up for filming.
#5 - #6. Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
Natalie Portman was the little girl from The Professional, who still holds a special place in the hearts of pedophiles everywhere. Keira Knightley was the female lead from Pirates of The Caribbean.
They look a bit alike, sure -- insomuch as, below a certain body weight, all pretty white girls look like Legolas. Plus, they both seem like they're smarter than you, and probably wouldn't let you forget it. There's definitely an aura of similarity there, but there are differences: Portman does the arthouse stuff. She's the cultured Harvard chick, while Knightley is the mainstream Renaissance girl. Portman does the smart films, while Knightley does the old timey blockbusters.
Your Highness, the medieval-themed Danny McBride comedy about stoner knights? Goofy, fun, medieval. Totally Knightley territory.
Nope! That film starred Natalie Portman's ass, according to the internet.
King Arthur? That's Knightley. And you're right! Old timey damsel stuff. She's playing right to casting. So which one was in Thor? Kinda dumb, medieval vibe - Knightley? No, Portman again. Haha, what? Did she lose a bet or something?
Which played the lead in that movie about dominos or whatever? Knightley, right?
Wait, no - which one is that? Is it...I'm changing my answer to Portman.
Keira Knightley starred as the titular character in Domino, Portman starred in the entirely different, how-could-you-even-get-them-confused, Domino One.
Well, then who was in London Boulevard, the British gangster flick? British says Portman, even though Portman is actually American and Knightley is actually British...I think...probably. It takes place in modern times, at any rate. I'm going Portman. But it is, of course, Keira Knightley, who stars in the film opposite Colin Farell.
I mean Colin Firth.
Shit, I don't know: One of those foreign white dudes that looks like a douchier version of...

More consumers are falling into health-insurance policies that won�t cover their bills when they get sick.
That�s according to Wendell Potter, a nationally known author and former insurance public relations executive-turned-industry critic who has visited Colorado twice in recent weeks, speaking in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
�People look at the cost of premiums, and don�t realize that�s not nearly the entire amount that they are going to be paying for coverage,� Potter said in an interview with Colorado Public News before one of his speeches.
Consumers, he said, also need to consider:
High deductibles.
Procedures and other items not covered.
Payments beyond the so-called �out-of-pocket maximum.�
Surprise out-of-network expenses at in-network hospitals.
Potter is not alone. Insurance companies also are issuing similar warnings � though less dire � telling the public not to assume their policies will cover everything. Many advise consumers to be certain they understand what�s covered, what�s not, and to set aside money to pay the medical bills that today�s policies will leave to them.
Then, �when you do need coverage, you have sufficient savings,� said Will Shanley, spokesman for United Healthcare.
Customers should calculate their share of costs of a major surgery or injury, and ask themselves: �Would I be able to afford that?� said Jeff Sepich, large group sales director for Anthem Blue Cross in Colorado.
A recent Colorado Health Access Survey found that 671,000 Coloradans are underinsured � that is, they have insurance but know it doesn�t cover enough. As policies become more obscure, more people are ending up underinsured � and increasingly don�t know it.
Potter was brought to Colorado Springs by Republican and former Colorado insurance commissioner Marcy Morrison, where he spoke to a group of about 200 in late April. He appeared in Pueblo on Tuesday, drawing a crowd of about 175.
The problem, he said, starts with deductibles � the amount people must pay before the insurance company does.
�More and more employers and insurers are moving people into high-deductible plans,� he said. �People are now finding themselves in family policies that have $50,000 deductibles every year.�
�My worry is that even if the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented, and more people are in coverage, a lot of people will be opting to enroll in plans with high deductibles � and they shouldn�t,� he said. �They�re still going to be vulnerable to losing their homes and having to file for bankruptcy if they get seriously ill.�
Another issue: Many policies have good coverage for doctors inside the network of preferred providers � but require customers to pay as much as 50 percent for services outside the network. Consumers may think they will never use an out-of-network provider, so they don�t have to worry about this. But it�s actually possible to have surgery at an in-network hospital, and be billed by out-of-network doctors who work there.
�Who would ever stop to think � particularly if you are ill � if the physicians who are going to treat you in a hospital are included in your network? It�s an insane situation,� Potter said.
Shanley agreed that consumers need to be aware of this possibility. He advised asking detailed questions of hospitals and doctors about whether all their bills will be in-network.
Many insurers have websites where it is easy to determine whether the surgeon and hospital are in-network. But it�s nearly impossible to pre-check certain hospital staff doctors, such as anesthesiologists, pathologists and radiologists, Sepich said. Colorado law does require such services to be billed at in-network rates. �It�s a nice consumer protection,� he said.
Consumers also need to ask whether out-of-network fees are included in the out-of-pocket maximum, Sepich said. On some policies, that maximum isn�t a maximum, because some bills just aren�t counted.
In addition, patients can get a bill for a service not covered by the policy.
Potter also warned consumers to read carefully, especially on �plans of limited benefits� or �consumer-directed� plans.
�That�s another thing that has become increasingly popular and is marketed heavily by insurance companies � plans with benefits that are so limited, they often don�t cover, in many cases, hospitalizations,� Potter said.
Purchasers also �need to make sure there are no annual or lifetime limits,� he said. �The average hospital stay in this country is now more than $20,000. And some of these plans have annual limits that are less than that.�
�You can really find yourself on the hook for a lot of money,� he said.
Customers also need to be prepared to pay a 10 or 20 percent share on many policies.
�Ten percent of a major medical procedure can still be a significant amount,� Sepich said. On a $100,000 list of charges, that�s $10,000 from the patient.
Potter has been speaking in Colorado in favor of the federal health-care law now under review by the Supreme Court. He sees it as containing major consumer protections and extending care to more people. But, he says, the law has many flaws, as special interests had too much influence on it.

The attack by Union forces to capture Battery Wagner located on Morris Island took place on July 18,1863. Although the assault on the fort was unsuccessful, this battle has its place in history due to the fact that the attack was led by the 54th Massachussetts Volunteer Infantry, one of the first major American military units made up of black soldiers. This battle was portrayed in the Academy Award-winning movie "Glory."

Whether it's a cherished memory on display or a favorite dish being served up at a party, there are some moments in life that just call for something special.
And "special" is what the entire collection from BEATRIZ BALL reminds me of… beautiful, handmade pieces fit for wedding pictures, holiday parties, celebratory gifts, and more – like dressing up your favorite coffee table or bookcase with something extra pretty, for instance! :)
Speaking of favorites… I'm excited to share that one lucky HWTM reader is going to score some of theirs – because BEATRIZ BALL is offering up a generous $200 shopping spree on their site for our giveaway this week! And whether you pick something out for yourself or to gift to another, there are so many options to choose from… the hardest part will likely be narrowing things down. You'll find everything from lovely pieces for entertaining (bowls, platters, cake stands, ice buckets, pitchers, cheese boards & more) to thoughtful gift ideas for weddings, house warming parties, and other happy occasions.
Also something worth noting… when BEATRIZ BALL calls their pieces "handmade", they really mean it! I don't think I can explain it any better than they do, so here goes: "More than twelve different sets of hands are involved in the creation of each piece, and the result of this intensely handmade process is a piece with a depth of character, warmth and personality that communicates in a way that only a handmade piece can."
Scroll down to enter the giveaway & take a peek at a few pieces from the collection… there are lots more where these came from!

Chamber officials say bed tax funds used on tourism
March 6, 2013
Chamber of Commerce officials assured Mayor Dan Bing they are spending motel tax revenue as required on tourism....
Not only is it not right, but I bet it isn't legal. If you want to promote tourism first thing you need is an attraction, then remove the bed tax to make staying here affordable

Does anyone else think there is something wrong with the government taxing people and then turning the tax money over to a private non elected organization to spend as they will? Seems to me the government entity that did the taxing should have the responsibilty to use that tax money properly not hand it over to private clubs. That just don't seem right to me.

The thing is, I don't look at Rachael and think, "Here's a skater who's going through a tough spot, and she'll recover soon." I see nothing in her skating, either technically or artistically, that leads me to believe she's going to improve. Her best years are clearly behind her, and she doesn't seem to have the time or energy to devote to practicing or even to staying in condition. So it does seem as if she's not making the best use of a GP spot, and she has so much else to absorb her in terms of studying and so forth that she'd be better off devoting herself to that. Of course it's not my place to tell any athlete that she or he has reached the end of the road, but maybe this is really it for Rachael, unless she takes a leave of absence from college and really buckles down to her skating. Even then, I fear, she couldn't catch up with the world and help boost the international standing of U.S. ladies.
She doesn't even seem to be bothered by her low placements, as if she's just happy to be there participating. It really does seem like a waste of a spot at our country's premier international event. Having said that, I blame the USFSA for making this decision. She basically delivers what she has been in the past few years, so the placement is no surprise. It's a shame because the USFSA lost a great opportunity to showcase Gracie at one of the only skating events with network coverage.
A few things:
1.) Rachael revealed her injury before the competition. It was not as if she waited until the result to reveal the injury. Lynn Rutherford tweeted this information as early as Thursday.
2.) Consider that Rachael, while injured, still scored a 92 in the FS and did five non UR triples. What hurt her ultimately were a lack of +GOE in those jumps (I think she should have gotten some more, the jumps were quite solid) and the low levels on spins. Compare that to Caroline Zhang, who was not injured, could not break the 90 mark in 2010 or 2011 Skate America.
3.) That said, Rachael may be done simple because of a lack of recovery on those lingering injuries.
Also regarding Skate America being a coronation for Ashley: This was a good competition and I'm glad I could catch it live. I can honestly say that every skater there, Leonova notwithstanding, actually was able to skate their best. And 9 out of 10, including Rachael, were able to at least complete four clean, non UR triples (though some were edge calls) in the FS. And the the top 5 competed six triples in the FS. (Though for Adelina the sixth one didn't count due to combination rules). Ashley deserved her win for sure-- she was fast, great ice coverage and her jumps were clean as a whistle. I'll give more comments in the Ladies thread when I have a chance.
Didn't Gold have two OTHER events - and THAT's why she wasn't at SA?
I felt it a bit suspect of USFS to give Gao the SA slot, but in retrospect she showed that she fully deserved it. You never know, really.
Perhaps it's worth it to wonder why Flatt didn't WD after her injury, but we all know she will fight through whatever even if she can barely manage being on the ice...this behavior isn't unique to Flatt though, so the intent is not to single her out. (i.e. we remember other(s) doing this last season)
Again, to play DA with all this Gold stuff...again, there is no need to push her. Yes, I understand the desperate need for a star, but that is NOT how you go about doing it. Why push gold when you have other skater(s) actually producing RESULTS and gaining international REPUTATION which will hopefully lead to world medals again? Sorry but I just don't see the need to rush yet ANOTHER young phenom to the spotlight and watch her crash and burn under all the pressure like a broken record, etc.
Soon, Wagner is going to be feeling the pressure of being the top American. Someone else needs to step up and join her.
It could be good that Ashley is doing well right now and is a solid number 1 in the US. Gracie might not feel now like she has to be the savior of the US women and can just go out and skate and get better. But i'm sure she will still feel the pressure.
This doesn't explain why they couldn't work something out for Mirai, though.
I think we will be seeing more & more of skaters skating injured. Here's why:
The new minimum TES rules for 4CC's, Worlds & Europeans pretty much assure that all skaters who have a single assignment from their Fed, whether to a Senior B or a GP, pretty much have to skate regardless of their physical condition. They have to take advantage of that one assignment to try to make their qualificaiton.
For example, Pang & Tong were skating injured at Skate America (Tong has knee problems), as was Jeremy Abbott (who is having a serious back problem). P&T were absolutely lovely, particularly in their exhibition program. Jeremy was not particularly lovely, and someone else could have used the spot...however, Jeremy needed it himself to get the qualifying TES for Worlds and 4CC's. He got the SP score for both Worlds & 4CC's, but not the LP TES for Worlds.
Douglas Razzano got the LP score, but not the SP score for Worlds. His SP did not qualify for either event. I have no idea whether he was injured, but he skated a dreadful SP.

LOCKPORT – Michael S. Loverdi admitted Friday that he had a loaded handgun with him April 26 when he and another man unwittingly interrupted a Niagara Falls police drug raid on a Third Street apartment.
Loverdi, 20, of 20th Street in the Falls, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and could receive up to seven years in prison when he is sentencing March 28 by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
Assistant District Attorney Peter M. Wydysh said Loverdi had a gun in his pocket and friend Michael D. Ramos, 19, of Pine Avenue, had one in his waistband when officers collared them after they knocked on the door of an apartment that police were searching for drugs.
Ramos pleaded guilty Dec. 20 to attempted second-degree burglary and attempted second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. The former charge stemmed from the theft of long guns and jewelry from a 19th Street home Aug. 27 or 28, 2011.
Ramos is to receive five years in prison when he returns before Murphy March 14.

NIAGARA FALLS – A man who witnesses said took his life by walking into the Niagara River above the falls at Goat Island has been identified by Houghton College.
College officials said on their website that they were "deeply saddened by the presumed death" of Gregory Young, a 21-year-old student from North Carolina who was a junior in theological studies.
State Parks Police searched unsuccessfully by air and on land looking for a body Monday, according to State Parks Police Maj. David Page.
While the body had not been recovered, evidence suggests that Young took his own life by entering the rapids above the falls Saturday evening, police said.
"We are shocked and saddened by the untimely loss to our community," Houghton College President Shirley Mullen said on the college website. "Greg Young was an accomplished young scholar with a promising future in theological study. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his many friends and colleagues during these difficult days."
A special chapel service was held Monday and the counseling center at the school offered extended hours for those who were struggling with the loss. Counselors and student life staff were also made available.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University women's tennis team is gearing up for its appearance in the 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. The Hatters (16-5, 5-3) were awarded a No. 4 seed and will take on fifth seeded Mercer, Thursday, Apr. 17, at 2:30 p.m., in Jacksonville, during the opening round.
Stetson enters the three-day tournament having won six straight matches and four consecutive conference contests, one of which was against the same Mercer Bears squad.
"There is certainly an air of confidence heading into the championship after our victory over our old nemesis, UCF, last week," said Director of Stetson Tennis Pierre Pilote. "With that being said, all team members understand the challenges ahead, starting with a very good Mercer team."
"We played them pretty recently so we kind of remember how it went," said senior A-Sun Player of the Year, Diana Bukajeva. "Yes we play on different courts now, but I think it definitely helps us and we are excited about it," she added.
The Bears and Hatters waged battle, back on Mar. 28, in a rain shortened match, where SU blanked MU 5-0, without the benefit of doubles play. Mercer enters the championship with a 4-4 conference mark and a 10-13 overall record.
"Mercer presents some difficult match ups in singles for us and I know they will be looking to avenge their regular season loss at our hands," Pierre added. "That match was shorten do to the weather, so it's impossible to tell how we will match up in doubles since we didn't play them on the day."
Waiting for the Hatters in the second round should they advance is the No. 1 seeded and defending conference champion Ospreys of North Florida, who will also be playing on their home courts as they are hosts to the 2014 tournament. Stetson and North Florida met up in the regular season with the Ospreys coming out on top 5-2 in DeLand.
The prospect of playing two matches in two days or even three in as many days if Stetson made it to the championship match, does not worry Pilote, as he thinks this is what his team has been focused on achieving.
"The possibility of playing three matches in three days will be a challenge, but it is something that we have been preparing for all year, with our strength and conditioning staff," Pilote explained.
For those fans not making the trip to Jacksonville, they can follow @StetsonTennis on Twitter, as well as sign up for Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system for match and tournament updates.
Gohatters.com will have Stetson recaps and atlanticsun.org will provide comprehensive championship coverage with up to date brackets and records. Live stats are also available on the A-Sun women's tennis website as well.

As Army Tightens Rules on Tattoos, Soldiers Hit the Parlors
Aficionados Rush to Add Ink to Some Parts of Their Body, While They Can
With the Incredible Hulk on his left shin only two weeks old, Staff Sgt. Alex Bahmandeji was back in a tattooist's chair outside Kentucky's Fort Knox on a recent Tuesday to get a tribute to the band the Sex Pistols finished on his left calf.
Staff Sgt. Bahmandeji is ready to pony up for more work in coming weeks, as he and other soldiers race to get tattoos before Army brass tighten rules that are now the least restrictive in the armed forces.
A new set of Army regulations, now under final review, would ban tattoos below the knee or elbow, but soldiers who already have the ink will be grandfathered in. That has set off a rush by soldiers to get work done ahead of a looming cutoff date, which Army authorities have said will most likely be 60 days after the approval of any new regulation.
"I'm working on a sleeve on both arms," 34-year-old Staff Sgt. Bahmandeji said, referring to tattoos that cover the entire arm down to the wrist. Staring down the barrel of new regulations, the construction supervisor says, "forces me to finish my new pieces within 60 days."
Current Army uniform policy bans tattoos on the head and face, but it allows them down the arms and legs and on the hands. New recruits face the same prohibitions but also are banned from having neck tattoos. The coming regulations have irked many soldiers who would like to keep adding to their skin-art collection.
"Who's going to see our tattoos?" asked 21-year-old Pvt. Cody Hartman, a combat engineer, who recently got a Chevrolet symbol on his left forearm and has plans to get a chain-link fence on his right. Both combat and dress uniforms have long pants and sleeves, which cover up tattoos most troops get in line with existing rules, he said, adding: "It's not like it's going to affect professional appearance."
A spokesman for the Army said the branch "is a uniformed service where the public judges a soldier's discipline in part by the manner in which he or she wears the uniform, as well as by the individual's personal appearance." The spokesman wouldn't comment on the state of the proposed rule change, saying all soldiers would be subject to the regulations but that troops would be grandfathered in.
Tattoos have long been a part of military culture, but as they have become more popular, and more prominently displayed on the body, the various branches have been reining them in to try to maintain a professional look.
The Air Force bans tattoos covering more than a quarter of an exposed body part, under regulations revised in 2011. For a time, recruiters were instructed to not accept recruits with tattoos on the saluting arm, but the guidance was quickly rescinded.
"It was a tighter restriction than was part of current policy," said Christa D'Andrea, chief of public affairs for Air Force recruiting. "It did raise a few eyebrows for those who were getting ready to ship off to basic training."
In 2006, the Navy announced that forearm tattoos could be no wider than a hand's breadth.
The Marine Corps has been cracking down on tattoos for years. In 2007, the Corps banned sleeve tattoos and those covering the leg below the knee.
A little more than a year later, heavily tattooed Marines were told they couldn't serve in sought-after embassy security duty or in recruiting positions because such tattoos could be visible while in uniform and might affect the public's perception of the well-disciplined branch.
"Military tattoos have been around since at least as far back as the Romans," said Anna Friedman, a tattoo historian. These have included unit logos, battle scenes and commemorations to the dead. The often-rebellious art form has become even more prevalent among service members as its popularity increased among general society since the late 1990s, she said. Tattoo regulations, at their roots, are about not offending people, and "not having tattoos is not going to offend anybody," she said.
Nearly 40% of millennials, or those now 18 to 29 years old, have a tattoo, according to a 2010 Pew Research Center poll, a higher proportion than in preceding generations. About 30% of those with tattoos have them on a visible spot on their bodies, according to the Pew survey.
The military often has implemented restrictions on tattoos, and troops just as often have found ways to stretch regulations. In 1910, the War Department's General Orders banned obscene tattoos, which included highly popular images of nude women. As rumors of this ban got out, sailors rushed to local parlors to cover up their immodest female ink, turning nudes into grass-skirted hula girls, Indian princesses and fully clad ladies, according to the Naval Historical Foundation.
A rush on parlors happens every time there is a rumor of a tattoo ban, said Baldy Carder, owner of Baldy's Tattoo & Piercing Parlor in Radcliff, Ky., near the gates of the Army's Fort Knox. Business has "picked up quite a bit. A lot of guys are coming in for the simple fact they want to get grandfathered in," Mr. Carder said.
And this time, the Army has made it clear the feared order is coming through, much to the dismay of many troops.
"Tattoos and the military go hand in hand," said Staff Sgt. Bahmandeji. A soldier without a tattoo "is like having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the jelly," he said.

Hipolito Mejia summarizes his proposals
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Apr 27 2012 23:59PM
- Speaking on the Voto-2012 special TV series with interviews with the candidates on their proposals for the 20 May presidential election, former President Hipolito Mejia said that fighting corruption would be a key priority of his government. He described corruption as a "national disgrace. " He said he is prepared for government officials who may err in their decisions, but not for those who take what is not theirs, and said they would have judicial problems because he would "not play around with that. " He said he would apply existing laws to fight corruption and would reform others. He said that administrative corruption is a cancer that has metastasized. Mejia said he would fight the wasteful spending that has the Dominican Republic in 142nd place of 142 countries in the wasteful spending category in the World Economic Forum global competitiveness report. He criticized the way in which the government payroll has ballooned, describing it as "a sterile bureaucracy". He criticized the fact that government resources are used to employ 334 deputy ministers, with 37 vice consuls in New York alone, and that there are vice consuls who do not even live in the areas where they are appointed. He pledged austerity in his new government. Mejia, speaking at the televised talk hosted by the Corripio media group on TeleAntillas (Channel 2) and TeleSistema (Channel 11), said that he would give priority to agriculture, education, public health, production, and making available credit to productive sectors. He expressed his support for the small and medium-sized business sector, saying that they are the backbone of the country`s development, welfare and social and economic stability. He said education was the basic priority of his government, because without education there are no possibilities for progress. He said health would be his second priority, and recalled that it was during his government that the present social security bill was approved. He criticized the fact that the country now depends on imports, for many items that the country should be purchasing from local farmers. "I continue with my ties to the farm and because I am from that sector, I am sure there are extraordinary opportunities in agriculture," he said, as reported in Hoy. He announced that he would conduct a fiscal reform to improve the efficiency of the state. Mejia added that he would sign an agreement with the IMF and stressed that construction would be a major area for his government, on the basis that construction stimulates the economy.

Former Durango resident Jeanette Helen Price Martin died Monday, June 25, 2012, in Portland, Ore. She was 100.
Mrs. Martin was born Sept. 1, 1911, in Denver. She grew up in Flagler, a whistle stop on the Rock Island Line on the eastern plains of Colorado.
Her father died when she was 11, but Mrs. Martin stayed in school, graduating as valedictorian of her class and went on to earn a bachelor�s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She taught high school English in Berthoud while earning a master�s degree from CU during summers. In 1938, she became one of the first teachers at the new junior college in Pueblo.
While teaching in Berthoud, she met her future husband, George Gregoire Martin, an elementary school teacher in the same district. They dated during those years but couldn�t marry because they both were supporting their mothers and younger siblings, and �Depression rules� allowed only one teaching position in a family.
In 1940, the couple married in Los Angeles. During World War II, the young family followed Mr. Martin to various Army posts, eventually settling in Colorado Springs after his discharge in 1945.
In 1950, the Martins moved to Durango, where Mrs. Martin taught English at Fort Lewis College for 10 years.
In 1967, the Martins moved to Salt Lake City, where Mrs. Martin earned a doctorate in linguistics from the University of Utah in 1974. At that time, she was the oldest doctoral candidate in UU�s history.
After retirement, the Martins returned to Durango. They scheduled a world trip each year for many years. Mrs. Martin was active in the community as a member of First Presbyterian Church of Durango and as a longtime volunteer for the Durango Public Library and the La Plata County Humane Society. Even at the age of 89, she enjoyed driving �the old ladies� to church events, her family said.
In 2006, the Martins moved to Portland to live near their second son. Mrs. Martin enjoyed the Portland Baroque Orchestra, Shakespeare in the Parks, Portland�s wonderful Happy Hours and was an active participant in many activities at Laurelhurst Terrace in southeast Portland where she lived.
Mrs. Martin was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, George Martin.
She is survived by her sons Gerald Martin, Kenneth Martin and Mahan Martin; 10 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 14, 2012, at Laurelhurst Terrace Chapel, 3060 SE Stark St., in Portland.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to the La Plata County Humane Society; Friends of the Durango Public Library; any public library; or the Portland Baroque Orchestra.

Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
We already knew about Ryne Sandberg's assignment to manage the Triple A Iowa Cubs, and today the Cubs filled in the gaps.
|Pitching Coach
|Hitting Coach
|Ryne Sandberg
|Mike Mason
|Von Joshua
|Bill Dancy
|Dennis Lewallyn

The minor league coordinators are: Dave Bialas (Minor League Field Coordinator), Mark Riggins (Pitching Coordinator), Dave Keller (Hitting Coordinator), Carmelo Martinez (Latin American Field Coordinator), Franklin Font (Roving Infield & Bunting Instructor), Bob Dernier (Roving Outfield & Baserunning Instructor), and Marty Pevey (Roving Catching Instructor).
News like this is why December is the most magical time of the year.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Casey Kopitzke...ha.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
How many options does Sandberg have left?
It'll be really nice to have some home grown talent that can produce at the big league level while still under club control
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Well he won't be under club control, but hopefully he'll be about $2 to $3 million less per year than Grandpa Lou.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
yeah i was kidding, you know, cuz he's a manager and all
but in all seriousness, what are the odds he's managing in 2011 do you think?
I think it would take winning a playoff series to give Loupa the extension he wants
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
This is an interesting point. Joe Girardi, a relatively young guy - and not a HOF - was able to connect with his multi-millionaires who bought into his style.
Ryno is everything Cub. He is a recent HOF inductee. He certainly has "respectability-factor" there.
PErsonally, I had advocated earlier that he get hired for 2010 as Lou's bench coach and learn under him. I am sure Trammell will get an interview - but c'mon now. We are talking Ryno, here.
Would he have the stones to take pt away from players that are not giving it their all?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
At this point, it would probably be best for Ryno not to learn anything from Lou.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I suppose so, TRN. But, I don't know - there must be some value in learning under him. He does have one World Series ring.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
the dude isn't an idiot, but he's far from special...like most managers.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I fully expect Ryno to manager by All Star break 2010.
Especially if Cubs get rid of Bradley and they start out as bad as they did in 2009 with Lou doing the shrugging act.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I don't think that the Cubs will fire Lou, no matter how bad they start out. The only way there is a new manager during the 2010 season would be if Lou decides to resign. If they wouldn't get rid of Dusty the last season that he was here, there is no way they get rid of Lou.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
"If they wouldn't get rid of Dusty the last season that he was here, there is no way they get rid of Lou."
The Cubs are under new managment. So while I don't really disagree, I am not sure we can rely on the past to tell us how the Cubs will react in the future.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Yeah different owners.
I figure Lou will get tired of the media and the losing and will try to get fired.
Like making a pitching change with no pants on or hitting on Ricketts sister.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I'm just saying that Hendry wont make the move unless he is forced too. I am not calling for a change, I am just making an observation. Even when it was obvious that Dusty was not coming back, Hendry wouldn't fire him out of some sort of strange loyality.
Re: Nick Johnson almost to the Yanks
so much for damon...
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Not taking arbitration is like not taking the 100k in Deal Or No Deal.
I absolutely detested that show until I started rooting against people, then it was kind of fun. Actually, I still hate it (and all game/reality shows) but it was at least more bearable.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I agree, that show is ridiculous.
You can justify making any choice
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I didn't know Carmelo Anthony was so versatile.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Now that's a shame.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
The worst thing is that so many of us read it and knew exactly who you were talking about.
Milton Bradley to Mariners? 3/44?
An AP article on ESPN. It's mostly about Cliff Lee's reaction to the trade but throws in MB acquisition speculation at the bottom.
Milton Bradley to Mariners?
Seattle might make Hendry an offer HE could never refuse.
Milton Bradley to Mariners?
"Combine that with a manageable contract and you've got the makings of a decent trade chit."
Whereas Bradley is just a chit.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I'd be good with that. Lopez is owed only 2.3M this year and 4.5M/250K club option.
Cubs would probably have to include a 2B or a prospect to sweeten the pot. I wonder if Figgins means they want to rid themselves of Bill Hall? Not that he'd be much use to the Cubs, but if the deal was Bradley and Baker for Lopez and Hall I'd be good with that. Too bad Hall can't play CF. He could fill in at LF, 3B, even 2B in a pinch.
Lee, Lopez, Theriot, Ram, Soto
Sori, Byrd/FA, Fuku
Hill, Hoff, Hall, Blanco, Font, Fuld
Looks like one too many players. Someone would have to go
This whole thing is probably a really bad idea
Let's just forget I said anything
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Didn't Hall try a season in center field? I sort of like it, I forgot he's "wasting" away up there. In your scenario Blanco would go to AAA and Hall would be Theriot's backup at short (Fountainout has played a couple of games there too).
Doesn't make us a better team, particuarly if Byrd plays CF, but it does solve the "Bradley Problem".
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Football and baseball can be apples and oranges, but recent interviews with Chris Henry before he died tells a different story concerning an athlete who has a change of attitude toward his team. He said he'd also figured out something that eludes many of the best performers at his position: A realization that individual accomplishments are secondary to the team's goals.
"I'm just gonna get out here and grind every day, do what I can do to help the team," he told me. "My stats don't even have to get sky-high. I just want to win, and to be part of something."
In the end, Henry most certainly was. Statistically, his impact was understated – he caught 12 passes in eight games, gaining 236 yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns. People in the Bengals' organization will tell you that, as the team's only true deep threat, Henry's ability to stretch the field had been sorely missed during the six games, which is a significant reason for Cincy's offensive struggles during that span.
While it is sad that his life was snuffed out just when he was "getting it," wouldn't it be just as sad if an organization who has a history of giving up on players too early can't iron out the wrinkles and make oh, let's say a Milton Bradley into such a giver. We want our team to be the best. Getting rid of a Milton Bradley without even trying to heal the wounds all around just makes us look like another Boston or New York. I see moving Bradley as just as much a mistake, not only for the team, but for the man. Maybe we've been thinking that having a "family" run the team would be more helpful for the fans, players and standings. Maybe we were wrong.
~quotes from Yahoo Sports, Michael Silver
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Wow...that is some sentimental bullshit. Thanks Michael Silver..
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Henry was also 26 and had had such severe troubles that he was surely facing a premature end to his career. Bradley, at 31, has had some scrapes and capers but not to the same degree as Henry. He also likely sees himself as a victim of circumstance here, not as someone who needs to reform.
I'd rather the Cubs keep Milton than do a truly crummy deal, but even if they do that, I doubt there'll be much healing.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Never be surprised when a person doesn't change.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
The problem is as a player you need to want to change your attitude. Chris Henry looks to have "got it" but Bradley has shown no desire to change who he is as a person.
Thats why all these bullshit comments that Lou didn't manage Bradley properly are exactly that, bullshit. Because guess what? He has had problems at nearly every stop in his career, and the one place where you thought he actually got along with a manager (Texas) he was playing them all for fools by faking injuries and thinking only about himself.
But all of a sudden its Lou's fault for not getting Bradley on board. The organization gave him a shot, gave him his financial security like he asked, and he still layed a giant turd in the clubhouse. All those lies about trying harder for a team that commits to him, and he didn't change one bit.
I have told you guys from day one, he doesn't give a damn about anyone else but himself. You can baby him and he will take advantage of it, you can be a hard ass with him and he will claim racism or play the victim.
You could have someone wipe his ass, jerk him off between innings, and laying roses between the dugout and homeplate and he would still be unhappy. They didn't use the right toilet paper, the girl strokes him too hard, or the roses are red instead of yellow. Boo hoo no one cares about poor old Milton.
Honestly, even if all those things you said were true who cares? I don't have to work with him or interview him. As long as he plays baseball, which he is likely to do better than anything we get back for him, let him play.
Re: let him play.
How about when he refuses to play? Remember the fight he got into with Von Joshua about pinch hitting.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
When a player says they're injured and playing is going to aggrevate the injury, then they shouldn't play. Odds are it was Joshua, not Bradley who started that fight.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
How do you know the trainers didnt tell Pinella and Joshua that Bradley was full of shit? People in and around the Rangers in 08 were mentioning he would pull himself out of the lineup to preserve his stats. Also Joshua seems like the most milquost person on that staff last year, I seriously doubt he would be the one starting shouting matches that lead to threats of physical violence.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
"How do you know the trainers didnt tell Pinella and Joshua that Bradley was full of shit?"
Common sense? If the trainer is going to determine whether he's good to go by what Milton tells him.
" I seriously doubt he would be the one starting shouting matches that lead to threats of physical violence."
So this is your theory. Milton says to Lou "My knee's not 100%, I probably need another day." Then he turns to Joshua and starts screaming at him. Seriously?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Good point. It's not like Bradley has a history of irrational anger.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Ok Neal..your hero, and internationally known man of peace Milton Bradley was right again.
Well put.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I know it's very hard for some of you to use reason in your thinking process, just showing you how.
Bradley to Seattle
CCO reports Bradley will be traded to Seattle.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Is the deal immindent?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I won't believe it until Bruce Levine reports it.
Re: Is the deal imminent?
I hope not, that's proved to be a deal killer.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Of all of the guys, he's usually the most reliable.
He's in a slump. What can we do?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
He's been announcing the trade "any day now" since November.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Yes, that is the idiot Mike North.
They signed on to do a 5-7 am show on local CBS TV station in February with a financial advisor.
It will be a mix of sports and financial advise.
North lost a mint on a local Ponzi scheme in 2009, sounds like he will be as good as that as he is on sports.
Kill Me Now
Oh Jesus, did I just perpetuate a Mike North rumor? I thought he might he dead.
CCO reports that Mike North is dead.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
According to Cot's, the Brewers are on the hook for as much as $7.15 million of Hall's $8.4 million salary in 2010, so there isn't much motivation for the M's to move him in exchange for MB. Hall's buyout in 2011 is only $500,000.
Is there any chance that Carlos Silva might be a bit more healthy now and could approach being at least a competent long man in the pen? (grasping for straws...)
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Even a healthy Silva is just a pitcher who goes with the "hit em where they are" pitching strategy. He'd probably get murdered at Wrigley. To me it would make more sense just releasing Bradley and calling up Atkins if that is what it comes down to.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
So to recap.... The plan is to
1. Trade Bradley for Silva
2. Heavily backload a deal to Byrd
3. Heavily backload a deal to Capps
Sounds like it. Then release Silva if he is late to a meeting and have Capps unhappy because Marmol is blowing 2 saves a week and he's still a setup guy. Spend the season wondering why the pitching isn't as good as we thought and why Byrd isn't going to get 100 RBI's batting 5th. Eeke into the playoffs then get outed in three games by a team with power throwing right handed starters, and have Lou complain that if he had Cameron and Ibanez they would have won it all. That just about cover it?

In this game of musical chairs for CF's, I'm afraid there won't be anywhere for Hendry to sit when the music stops.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
That beats sitting on Coco Crisp or Marlon Byrd's lap for millions of dollars. Pick up some DFA center fielders at the end of spring training or the first weeks of the season.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Why do we need a Cfer exactly?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
worked in 2007
Heyman on a possible Bradley/Silva deal
"Perhaps the Cubs feel he (Silva) can regain his form"
Regain what form, exactly?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Jody Davis was managing in the Cubs organization before Ryno, right? He hasn't exactly climbed the ladder. Wonder what the story is there.
Not trying to start rumors about animosity. Maybe Jody is perfectly happy where he is.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Does anyone notice that Silva makes more than Bradley over the next 2 years?
It will be cheaper to release Bradley than it will be to trade Bradley.
Kick the tires on Derek Lowe if you are going to go this route.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I, for one, completely oppose Ryno being promoted to manager in Chicago. It would just be too confusing for me in TCR comments to discern between Ryno me or Ryno the manager.
Rotoworld, Via Larry Stone (M's beat writer for the local paper)
is confirming a Bradley-Silva swap. As someone who hated the Bradley signing to start with and really wants him off the team, this is horrible. He gets payed more than Bradley and sucks more than Bradley.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
If that's true (and that's a big if), I don't think it's all that terrible. Milton Bradley is no big prize, my friends.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
If you say so, but I like the Mariners chances of making the playoffs better than I do the Cubs right now.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
The Boise manager is also the Extended Spring Training "Boise/Mesa" (EXST Cubs) manager April-June, so Jody Davis will have those duties, too.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Larry Stone says the Cubs will get Carlos Silva from the Mariners for Bradley.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Did he say if it was imminent?
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
No he says it "is a done deal".

Muskett confims:
I hope the "merry christmas" is sarcastic or it means she's going on holdiay/
The Cubs might make the Bradley for Silva deal just so they can spread the $$$ loss over three years instead of over two and to release $1.5M in payroll for 2010 to help pay for a CF and/or a RHRP, perhaps paying Silva $7.5M in 2010, $11.5M in 2011, and the $2M buy-out in 2012, with the Mariners paying Bradley's $9M salary and $4M of Silva's salary in 2010, plus Bradley's $12M salary in 2011. (The Mariners otherwise owe Silva $25M 2010-12, including the 2012 buy-out).
I would also hope that the Cubs would get a prospect back as part of the deal, since Silva would (at best) probably be the 12th man ("garbage man") on the staff in 2010-11, presuming he doesn't get released.
Re: presuming he doesn't get released.
but the Cubs have 21 million reasons not to release him
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
I doubt it... and I doubt he got a prospect.
Re: Cubs Announce Minor League Coaches
Sounds like he's back to his '08 form.
