No Peavy Deal for Cubs
As reported in multiple places, including here, the Cubs are baling out on the Jake Peavy trade talks. Writes Ken Rosenthal:
The Cubs were frustrated by the Padres' attempts to seek five or six
players for Peavy with one team executive saying, "They're looking for
a Herschel Walker-type deal."
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Good. The cost was just outrageous. How can the Pads expect such a huge return and have the other team pick up the entire $85 million? That's not how baseball has worked in recent years.
Hopefully this means we keep Derosa.
Can we package Theriot and Dempster to the Siberian Professional League for Miss Uglugchuk?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I bet Jake is peaved.

Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
He's just showing off for USA Today.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Good. Now we can stop hearing new rumors about it...but we probably still will.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Soooo can we trade for Wood now?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
i would guess peavy is not to happy
the price may come down when towers
realizes he has a disgruntled player
also wonder what owner thinks about
still having that contract.
lets move on to right field
i want ibanez
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
you want to give up the Cubs 1st round draft pick for a 37-yr old outfielder?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
This is all on Towers now, all Hendry has to do is wait.
He's in no rush.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Does that mean we still can't trade Marquis! I think he'd still look better in another uniform!
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
sign Randy Johnson, move Marquis once all the FA starters are off the market and someone is left standing in that game of musical chairs without a pitcher.
They'll still have to eat a good chunk of it, but I think they'll be able to move him.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Randy Johnson looks just as good as anybody to me. At least Lou would get someone familiar who is a lefty to boot. Samardzija will have a mullet to look up to.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
hahahahaha - you just got roberts'd
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
"roberts'd" ... absolutely hilarious!!
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
we have a winrar!
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
somebody should make entries for all these terms on Wiklifield.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I would rather have Randy Johnson, Josh Vitters, Sean Marshall and the trade pieces of Felix Pie and Ronny Cedeno over Peavy anyway. I wonder if Jimbo now hits the trade market for a RF and use the FA money for Bradley or Ibanez to get Johnson and Trevor Hoffman. I wonder if the O's would do Pie for Scott? Given the volume allegeldly for Dero, Jimbo should put him on the block and see what he can get.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Jeremy Hermida should be the target. Maybe some combination of
Kevin Gregg
Felix Pie
Jose Ceda
Ronny Cedeno
Jose Ascainio
Mitch Adkins
Can get it done. He is left handed. And under club control for 3 more years.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Maybe we could trade Gregg for Ceda, that would be sweet.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Now go get Brian Roberts.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Well, I'm relieved.
I like the Bradley, Johnson, Hoffman suggestion.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Would it have been amazing to have the rotation of Peavy, Z, Dempster, Harden and TL? Of course. Does not trading away everyone and their Johann's mother for this deal and pursuing Randy Johnson make more sense. Yes, I think it does.
On another note, I'm wondering when the last person posts a 3/44 "Peavy deal is off" post.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Maybe Hendry was surprised by the interest that DeRosa generated and he realized he could improve the team even more.
So instead of Hoffman, how about a leadoff man joining Bradley and Johnson?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I wrote this in another thread, but just a thought...
a Chone Figgins for Mark DeRosa trade would make a lot of sense...
I'd rather keep DeRosa probably, but if the goal is more LH bats and a
little more "athletic", not to mention a potential leadoff hitter, it's
not too bad.
Angels were said to be wanting more power from the third base spot,
although they should just give the job to Brandon Wood then. I also
think they'd want more than just DeRosa. I think last year they said
they would want Aramis Ramirez for Figgins, so yeah, they're a bit
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
After watching Marmol crap out in June, I want more protection than Kevin Gregg if that happens again if he is the closer. Plus we have a leadoff guy on this team already that Lou wont hit there and two if Fontenot is upgraded to an everyday player if they trade Dero.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
in what type of baseball is Mike Fontenot considered a leadoff hitter?
I am still curious on why Lou thinks Theriot isn't one...the only things I can think of is his tendency to swing at the first pitch and/or he got fed up with him getting caught stealing last year.
Re: am still curious on why Lou thinks Theriot isn't one
Lou explained, if obliquely, that Theriot fits in at #2 because he hits behind the runner and is a "good enough" base runner that the #3 gets fastballs.
I think the "good enough" comment says it all.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Ibanez talks heating up and likely going to the Phils as per ESPN?
Let's get Abreu or Bradley! Wonder what the contract will be for? 2-18?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Nice goatee, eh?
Clement signs minor league deal with Toronto.
Re: Nice goatee, eh?
Wow, A Clement sighting. I wondered where he was. He ain't been right since he got clonked on the head with a line drive.
When the Dads started asking for DeRo, I felt this trade was degenerating into the ridiculous. Peavy wanted to come here. Shoulda woulda coulda. Towers is the clown here. He should hook up with Baltimore's owner.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Okay...move on! Sometimes the best deals are those that aren't made! Let's address our problems...ie Marquis and RF!
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Any update on Peavy?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Bravo...well put
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
it's the not knowing that really kills you...if only someone would come out with a definitive statement on where talks are headed.
----->USA TODAY----->Read THIS------->
We haven't heard the last of this story this Winter, I bet.
I think that with Sabathia and Burnett deals being wrapped up, the market for pitchers will start to clear pretty soon. That may cause both sides to reassess...and more likely Towers, because he is the one that needs to cut payroll.
I wasn't too happy with the idea of helping out the Phillies by trading DeRosa to them. While not in the same division, they are a strong NL team and we didn't need to be making them a better and deeper one.
Is it possible to sign Randy Johnson and then only pitch him on days when the wind is blowing in?
Re: ----->USA TODAY----->Read THIS------->
Is it just me, or does it seem beyond insane that pitchers are getting 7 years at 20 Million per?
Me thinks that there are going to be alot of Mike Hampton-esque, salary dumps comming down the baseball landscape over the next couple of years.
signs with Reds...
so with the Brewers falling apart (and they should really just trade Fielder and Hardy by this point for a boatload of prospects), who's the Cubs top competition next year?
Cardinals "should" have a mostly healthy Carpenter and Wainwright back, plus looking to add a Fuentes or another closer. Greene is actually an improvement over someone, so I'm thinking they should be the big contender. Kind of depends what they do with Ankiel and Ludwick.
Reds pitching has the potential to be pretty damn good as well. Enough young hitters where you don't know if they'll all click together like the Brewers did in 2007 and make a run.
Unless the Astros find 2 starting pitchers, I don't see them doing much. Pirates are, well, the Pirates.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
a cold winter blast
no peavy, but not too peaved
let's play two today
(It's the wrong day of the week; just couldn't help it.)
Marquis for Scheonweis being discussed per Heyman
If there is no money exchanged in the deal, it clears 6.2 million off the payroll. Schoenweis is also in the last year of his deal and because he is a RP, has a chance to maybe get Type B status next winter. Given that it curently looks like the Phillies 3-4-5 is going to be Utley, Howard, Ibanez getting all the LHRP help as possible is nice.
Re: Marquis for Scheonweis being discussed per Heyman
comment #8 on that thread is fantastic...particularly the use of all caps.
Re: Marquis for Scheonweis being discussed per Heyman
cruise control to cool!
Re: Marquis for Scheonweis being discussed per Heyman
The Mets need more right handed power so Beltran, a switch-hitter, must leave?
I am so confused.
I guess you have to bat right handed in every at bat.
Re: Marquis for Scheonweis being discussed per Heyman
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Hendry today, reported by Sullivan/Rogers:
"I see Marshall being a huge, valuable guy," Hendry said. "We knew exactly what we were getting into with Rich Harden. ... The adaptability Marshall had [last season] was very admirable. You have to be mentally strong [to be a spot starter]."
Hendry said he was looking beyond the 2009 team when he decided not to do a Peavy trade. He sees Vitters as a key part of the future, as he is expected to be ready to take over at third base if Aramis Ramirez opts not to exercise his player option for 2011 or the club doesn't exercise its option for '12.
"The Chicago Cubs are a big-market club," Hendry said. "But still, you have to have a flow of talent coming to allow you to operate the way you need to operate."
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
here's the link
Hendry also said he's not against revisiting talks.
Axelrod thinks the Padres demands were ridiculous.
"Objectively understanding where you stand with your negotiation position helps you to be successful," Axelrod told Tim Sullivan of the San Diego Union-Tribune. "The Padres asked for too much."
More Axelrod: "There might have been four or five total teams in baseball [that could assume Peavy's contract]. ... The powers that be are going to have to be a little more objective about their strength in negotiating."
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Jim Hendry, I know a way you could have picked up a couple of prime draft picks real easy.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I was the biggest Peavy-trade supporter here, so I'll chime in.
I'm disappointed that it sounds like Peavy won't be here. I think he would have given us the best rotation in baseball (even over the Yankees' forecasted rotation) and a great improvement over last year's club.I understood that it was going to cost something to get him though and so I never saw the trade as a sure bet, even when it seemed to be. I'd much rather have Peavy for the next 5 years at $70 mil or so than Dempster for the next 4 at $52 mil. It's too bad that Hendry apparently couldn't wait long enough to do a Peavy deal before re-signing Demp.
Part of me still wonders whether the Cubs will monitor the situation and see what happens in the next month or so. It seem clear now that Towers is about as big of a delusional fuck-up that MacPhail was last year who played the media just as badly first with the Braves and then with the Cubs. No doubt someone got to him and told him to raise the stakes on the Cubs. I knew that things had changed from their end when DeRosa's name started getting tossed around, and when Towers had suddenly discovered a third or fourth team to deal with. Towers is likely to have a very pissed player, a pissed fanbase, and perhaps a pissed owner to deal with in the coming weeks, so chances are that Peavy's name will remain in trade rumors.
However, perhaps not with the Cubs. Hendry's comments as reported above by VirginiaPhil (via Sullivan/Rogers) seem like he's made up his mind. Unless the price drops drastically, I don't see the Cubs revisiting this topic.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
my own wild-ass-guess based on recent hendry talk to the media seems to lead to chc/sd looking for a "big name" SD wanted to rope this whole trade together without chc shifting marshall/vitters in any way.
seems the task was harder than it might have seemed...
just a guess, though.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
how much did signing Dempster have to do with trading for Peavy?
I'll answer, not a lot.
still would have had to give up the same ridiculous package that the Padres were asking for, albeit the need to move Jason Marquis wouldn't have been there.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
albeit the need to move Jason Marquis wouldn't have been there.
Exactly, which I think did impact matters in the end. I agree with crunch's assessment of the situation, with the addition of a tight payroll for the Cubs. It seems like the insurmountable obstacles to me were, in no order:
1) Padres wanting too much
2) Cubs not wanting to give up Vitters/Marshall (who else do we have???)
3) Cubs tight payroll (probably tighter than expected from the Demp signing -- I don't think Hendry thought it'd be that high)
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
you know, you're probably right...
w/o Dempster, Hendry would have had to bend over and take it up the ass since he'd be short a starting pitcher and give up whatever Towers wanted.
so yeah, Hendry really blew that one
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
If they hadn't re-signed Demp, than Towers would have had the upper hand in the negotiations. As is, signing Demp allows Hendry to walk away knowing that even without Peavy the rotation is good enough to get the cubs to the postseason. IMHO adding RJ on a one year deal and signing Bradley to the less than 4 years he is looking for (Perotto on BP said he was looking for 4 year $40 mil) would give the cubs a good offense and allow them to have some bargaining chips come july for whatever the biggest need is. I also like the inquiries into Figgins, though adding him and Bradley is 2 big injury risks.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
happen to have a link on Bradley wanting 4 years? I looked around at BP and didn't see anything.
If Bradley thinks he can get 4 years, the dude is nuts.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
It's in his chat from today. Towards the end of the transcript.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I think that proves that Bradley is bat-shit crazy.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
4 years is definitely too long, but I guess I'm surprised that he's only looking for $10 mil a year. 2 years $20 mil with perhaps a performance based option for year 3 seems to be about right to me.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I heard Hendry's comments on WSCR this afternoon, and he came as close as Hendry ever comes to saying, in effect, that he's done with dealing with Towers. Very polite, but the context was the important part of his response. Shades of the McFail fiasco last year.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
The Cubs were frustrated by the Padres' attempts to seek five or six players for Peavy
...Yeah, because clearly it's easier to find Peavy-caliber players than it is Marshall-caliber players.
more quoties
"It was just one of those rare occasions that we thought it was worth trying to go in and kick the tires and see if it was possible," Hendry said. "Or, how can we make it work if we can do it? As the week progressed, the volume of the depth we had to give up became the sticking point for me.
"Out of respect to the player, he was worth looking into."
sounds more respectful of Towers in the print version what Dmac got from the radio, not that I doubt Dmac's account (comment #47).
Speaking of bat-shit crazy
"Randy's really interested," one of his agents, Barry Meister, said Thursday, the final day of the winter meetings. "We made a check list of everything that's important, and San Francisco checks off on every box. They're in the National League. They'll be competitive. They train in Arizona.
"San Francisco has a lot of appeal."
so is there another team in San Francisco that I forgot about? one that doesn't count Randy Winn as their best offensive player.
Re: Speaking of bat-shit crazy
In that division, with three teams consciously going backwards, anything's possible.
Re: Speaking of bat-shit crazy
"so is there another team in San Francisco that I forgot about? one that doesn't count Randy Winn as their best offensive player."
Good stuff, holmes. And, yeah, Monopoly Bradley apparently IS a fuckin whacko...
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
This whole thing has been a big distraction from getting done what they need to accomplish this off season, although there is still time. A LH RBI bat is needed, but only because FUKUDOME was / is a $14 million bust. Why is no one talking about this? If you sign someone for $10 million to play RF, and FUKU is in center, your outfield will cost $42 million next year! You could have afforded Manny in LF and whatever you want in RF with Johnson/Pie in center for that price!
I know there would be no takers, but if there was any possible way to move FUKU they should be doing it. I hate the Sox, but look, they have moved Swisher and Vasquez so far. That is moving out the overpaid deadwood, and good management. The FUKU contract at this point is much worse than Marquis. I admit I was happy we got him last year, but the deal has not worked out by any measure, and now we essentially have to fill the same hole via expensive FA two years in a row.
Am I the only one who would like one more solid arm in the bullpen, preferably LH? Just think, if FUKU could hit we could have kept Wood.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Fukakkedome has a strong left handed arm.
He was a rookie, I'm not giving up on him yet.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
if Fukudome can play cf like he can rf, it won't be a complete waste, just an overpaid one...
that being said, you think the Cubs shoud trade Fukudome, have Pie play CF and spend it on another bullpen arm?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
and a full NTC makes me think it'll be very hard, if not impossible to move him.
Marquis to Mets...
From Rotoworld (via SI):
The Mets and Cubs are reportedly talking about a Jason Marquis deal.
There was talk about Aaron Heilman for Marquis as recently as yesterday, but it's believed the Mets turned down that deal weeks ago. Scott Schoeneweis for Marquis would make a lot more sense. Both are entering their contract years. Schoeneweis is owed $3.6 million, while Marquis is due $9.875 million.
Re: Marquis to Mets...
why I gotta be the 3/44 police?
comment #34 fwiw....
Re: Marquis to Mets...
My fault. I did a quick search of the comments for "Mets" and nothing relevant came up.
Speaking of 3/44, don't these winter meetings represent the two-year anniversary of the beginning of "3/44"?
Still going strong.....
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Listening to Bruce Levine today, he stated that Towers was looking fo "...6 or 7 players from the Cubs."
IF that's the case, that is just fucking nuts. I love Peavy, but its not like all of the names bandied about were completely useless Todd Hundleys.
Again, if there was no pitching talent on the team already, then I'd understand a bit more. But on paper, it is now the strongest starting core in the Division.
If the owner, in the throws of his divorce, really needs to slash payroll, the price will come down. You can bet on it. Hendry did the right thing in this case.
Peavy's pissed
"It's tough. Jake was pretty shaken by it,'' Axelrod said. "He was starting to think about what life was like to be a Chicago Cub, and now that was taken from him.''
Re: Peavy's pissed
pissed peaved
Re: Peavy's pissed
It's really Hendry's bad luck that 2 players who could really help the Cubs (B. Roberts & Peavy) have GM's who are baseball-retarded. If Roberts doesn't accept the 'long-term' contract offer from the O's, Andy McFail will be lucky to get an offer for him better than Cedeno, Colvin, and Marquis + $4.5 million or any comparable talent from any other team. Peavy's value will be lucky to be half of what Towers asked for today when July 31st comes around, especially if getting his NTC waived involves taking on his $23 Million option for 2013.
My wish list remains (in this order): (1) Leadoff hitter (Furcal or B. Roberts); (2) LH RF (Bradley or Abreu); (3) Randy Johnson only if Marquis can be traded with absorbing little (< $2.0 million)of his salary.

Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Jayson Stark's nontender prediction sheet:

The only LH bat is Gabe Gross .... yuk.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
i can't imagine why cotts/wuertz would make the list...they'd have homes on many team's rosters if hendry wanted to let them go.
cotts is throwing 94+mph again and wuertz isn't that bad given his upside.

Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Will he take Burrell's position, then? 'Cause he ain't gonna take over for Vittorino or Werth.
Well, good, and bad for the Cubs. Good in that he will not be on the north side patrolling RF. Bad, in that Bradley will want a similar deal, I'm sure.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
I would guess he's going to wind up with a 2 year $21 million deal with a vesting option for a third year at $11 or $12 million.
Is that in the budget?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
2009 will work if they can trade away Marquis without gaining another big salary. Heileman or Schoeneweise make sense to me. 2011 could work considering Ted Lilly will be a free agent (if the Cubs don't then need to get some starting pitching). 2010 might be a stretch. I guess DeRo is coming off of the books in 2010, but that isn't exactly going to pay for Bradley, plus depending on how Cedeno, Theriot, and Fontenot play, we might need to get a second baseman and/or a SS. I think, though, that if Hendry can make it fit in 2009, he'll get the deal done and leave future payrolls for future consideration, as he's done with all the backloaded NTC clause contracts he's been signing lately.
I still think there are better fits, but they come via trade rather than free agency, and that appears to be pretty complicated this year. Luke Scott makes sense to me.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Story about Cubs' interest in Bradley.
Frank Thomas thinks Cubs fans would "love" Milton ... although he doesn't clarify if it's because he thinks they're all asses.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Frank Thomas is an ass.
On Baseball tonight Karl (You Don't Go Full Retard) Ravech and Kruk thought Dunn signing with SF and playing first base would be a great idea.

Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
If your paying attention to the NFL, once an asshole always an asshole. Terrell Owens bitching and complaining again and sabotaging another NFL franchise.
How many days till he calls Romo a racist?
Just keep that in mind if Milton Bradley becomes a Cub. He is of the same mind set of Terrell Owens. A me first type of guy where everyone is always conspiring against them to bring them down. Mix in a little uncontrollable rage and you got a fine human being.

Re: The last post on Bruce Levine's Blog
You'll probably still be hearing rumors long after Peavy is dead.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Rotoworld sez Reds will make an offer for Burrell.
Because Baker and Adam Dunn worked out so well...
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Via Rotoworld:
Dusty Baker would like to meet with Burrell before any negotiations take place. Reportedly Baker has concern about Burrell's "lack of aggression at the plate".
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Towers kept putting left-hander Sean Marshall on the table. Never did the Cubs give a nod of approval to Marshall being part of the package. Then the Cubs' brain trust considered all of the money they would be taking on in a Peavy deal. Financially, they could make the right-hander fit in 2009. Even 2011 and beyond. But 2010 was a real sticking point.
The Cubs' payroll will be supersized in 2010 without Peavy. Adding him creates a lot of stress
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Jason Marquis ($9.875M), Rich Harden ($7M) and Mark DeRosa ($5.5M) come off the books after the 2009 season, plus Reed Johnson (who will probably get somewhere around $2.5M in 2009) and Kevin Gregg (who should get something like $4.5M in 2009). So that's about $28M off the books going into 2010, with Carlos Marmol, Ryan Theriot, Sean Marshall, Rich Hill (if he's still around), and Mike Fontenot (who is a virtual lock to be a "Super Two") becoming first-time salary arbitration eligible post-2009 additional to the others who are already eligible for salary-arbitration (Gaudin, Cotts, Wuertz, and Cedeno, presuming they are still on the team).
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Why not just go with Marquis the first half of the season and then unload him mid-season when you might be able to get someone to pick up his remaining salary?
He's got a career 4.25 ERA, 49-33 record, and averages 6.2 IP per start the first half.
That's awesome for a fifth starter. Keep him.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Navigator: The longer the Cubs hang onto Marqus, the more likely somebody will take back his entire contract. Once it gets to Spring Training and some of the FA losers realize just how lousy their starting rotationa are, a guy like Jason Marquis (one year for $9.875M) will suddenly look like a bargain.
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Good call Phil.
Any Peavy updates?
Re: No Peavy Deal for Cubs
Agreed. Hendry was at a real disadvantage trying to move Marquis at this stage of the off-season. His market value will increase once all of the FA's are off the board and teams start realizing they need someone (anybody) to throw 200 innings next year.
The fact that Hendry was willing to shop Marquis now (and eat a sizeable part of his salary) shows how much he likes Peavy. (And perhaps how much Piniella dislikes Marquis).

Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
It's All About Validation
Six of the seven companies on this list focus on cancer drug development, with eye disorders, inflammation, and myelofibrosis among other treatment specialties. [© ArtFamily - Fotolia.com]
Focus: Discovering, developing, and commercializing small molecule drugs for "serious" unmet medical needs.
Key products and pipeline: Lead product Jakafi® (ruxolitinib), a JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, is currently approved in the U.S. for intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis. Pipeline includes three additional Jakafi indications—polycythemia vera (Phase III), pancreatic cancer (Phase II), and solid/hematologic tumors (Phase I/II)—and five compounds, including INC280 (formerly INCB28060) for solid tumors, for which worldwide rights have been licensed to Novartis (Phase II); INCB24360 for metastatic melanoma and ovarian cancer (both Phase II); and INCB39110 for myelofibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis (all Phase I/II).
Why attractive: Incyte has built on its successful 2012 launch of Jakafi for myelofibrosis, with the drug generating $102.4 million for the first half of 2013, more than double the year-ago number of $49 million. In August, Incyte raised its range of projected annual sales for Jakafi, to between $220 million and $230 million, a change from $210 million to $225 million. The company's pipeline has wowed partners and investors: Ruxolitinib for pancreatic cancer showed overall survival of 42% vs. 11% for placebo, in results released August 21. Earlier this year, Incyte captured a $25 million milestone payment from Novartis once it formally launched the Phase II trial for INC280 in April, under a 2009 agreement that could land Incyte more than $1 billion. Phase III data for the polycythemia vera indication for Jakafi is expected early next year.
Focus: Rapid development of therapies for "serious" diseases with limited treatment options.
Key products and pipeline: Xtandi® (enzalutamide, formerly MDV3100) capsules for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Medivation and Astellas Pharma are jointly responsible for commercialization and development of Xtandi in the U.S, while outside the U.S., Astellas oversees development and commercialization, paying Medivation a tiered royalty ranging from the low teens to the low twenties on aggregate net sales. Pipeline includes several new indications for Xtandi including prechemotherapy CRPC (one ongoing Phase III trial, and two Phase II trials), neoadjuvant therapy (Phase II), and breast cancer (a Phase II study in advanced, androgen receptor positive triple-negative breast cancer that began enrollment in June).
Why attractive: Xtandi successfully launched last year, and has generated $161.5 million in net sales for the first half of 2013. In June, Xtandi won marketing approval from the European Union for adult men with mCRPC whose disease has progressed on or after docetaxel therapy. The EU approval triggered a $15 million milestone payment from Astellas to Medivation. By year's end, Medivation expected to release promising additional data on Xtandi for prechemo CRPC, and eventually compete head on with Johnson & Johnson mCPRC drug Zytiga.
Focus: Discovering, developing, manufacturing, and commercializing medicines for serious medical conditions that include eye diseases, colorectal cancer, and a rare inflammatory condition, with developmental drugs in other areas of high unmet medical need including hypercholesterolemia, oncology, rheumatoid arthritis, allergic asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
Key products and pipeline: Arcalyst (rilonacept), marketed to U.S. patients since 2008 for Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) in adults and children 12 and older; Eylea® (aflibercept), launched in 2011 for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with a second indication, macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion, approved by FDA in 2012. Regeneron collaborates with Bayer HealthCare on development of Eylea. Also last year, Regeneron joined Sanofi in obtaining FDA approval for Zaltrap® (ziv-aflibercept) Injection for intravenous infusion for macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion.
Pipeline consists of more than a dozen drug candidates and/or indications including four in Phase III: Eylea for diabetic macular edema (DME) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO); sarilumab (REGN88) for rheumatoid arthritis; and alirocumab (REGN727) for LDL cholesterol reduction.
Why attractive: In a word, Eylea. The drug enjoyed a very successful launch, with U.S. sales more-than-doubling in the first half of 2013, up 103% to $644 million. Total worldwide sales stood at $805 million, versus $318 million in 1H 2012. Twice this year, Regeneron has raised its estimated full-year Eylea net sales forecast—most recent after the second quarter, when the company upped its projection to between $1.3 billion and $1.35 billion.
Morningstar's Karen Andersen, however, told GEN: "I think Regeneron is not as likely to be acquired, given the stability of their relationship with Sanofi and the financial structure of their collaboration." Earlier this year she told Reuters another factor boding against an acquisition was the doubling of its share price since mid-2012.
Focus: Developing and commercializing innovative, empowered antibody-based therapies for the treatment of cancer.
Key products and pipeline: Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin) for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and relapsed systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (sALCL), approved as the first in a new class of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) by FDA in 2011 and HealthCanada this year. Adcetris was developed with Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, which has worldwide exclusive rights except in the U.S. and Canada, which are held by Seattle Genetics. The drug is in more than 20 ongoing clinical trials, including four Phase III studies—post-transplant HL relapse prevention; relapsed CD30-positive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; Frontline HL (+ chemotherapy); and Frontline CD30-positive mature T-cell lymphomas (+ chemotherapy). An additional five indications are the subject of Phase II studies. The pipeline also has six additional compounds in preclinical phases through Phase I.
Why attractive: Adcetris has delivered net product sales of $69.7 million from January–June, just above $69.2 million a year earlier. However, collaboration revenue doubled to $55.3 million and royalty revenues from Adcetris jumped nearly five-fold, to $5.9 million from $1.2 million in 1H'12.
The company is also well-viewed for its rich pipeline, as well as its crafting of ADC licensing agreements with 12 biopharmas—including giants like AbbVie, Bayer, Genentech, GSK, and Pfizer—which have generated more than $225 million for the company. In the most recent such deal in June, Seattle Genetics netted $20 million in up-front and option exercise fees for worldwide rights to its auristatin-based ADC technology with antibodies to several oncology targets, with up to $500 million in milestone payments possible.
Seattle Genetics says it's more focused on expanding use of Adcetris than on finding a buyer: "We have a great trajectory in the future," CEO Clay Siegall told Reuters, adding: "I believe that our big shareholders are supportive of that. I don't have any pressure on me to try to run out and do some deal."

Jon Green throws the SPOTLIGHT on genetic influences in the formulation of people's political attitudes:
It would be silly to think of newborn babies� brains as being a blank slate. The preponderance of biological research has shown that differences in our genes play a large role in our personality. But certainly our political opinions are formed some time after we�re born, since we need some actual political information before we can develop political attitudes, right?
Well, kinda.
Numerous studies have shown that monozygotic (identical) twins are more likely than dizygotic (fraternal) twins to hold similar political opinions and exhibit similar ...

Derry Area's three-time state champion Jimmy Gulibon hadn't wrestled since tearing his MCL on Dec. 30 in the Powerade finals.
But the Penn State recruit returned over the weekend and won the 126-pound title of the District 7 Section 2 Class AA Tournament in convincing fashion, ringing up a 16-1 technical fall over Charleroi's previously unbeaten Aaron Toth in 3:36. It was his fourth section tournament title.
Jefferson-Morgan won the team title by 67 points, 209-142, over Bentworth. J-M had four champions and two runners-up.
In Class AAA, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, two Central Catholic returning state placewinners will miss the postseason with injuries.
Returning state runner-up Jason Luster missed the entire season after having shoulder surgery. Austin Coniker, who took sixth, is out with a knee injury he sustained the second week of the season.
Two other Viking wrestlers, Tyler Zymroz, who was a two-time state qualifier before having to give up the sport because of a heart condition, and Matt Bradley (concussion) have missed most of the last two seasons.
McDowell shines in D-10
McDowell placed 14 wrestlers in the top four of the District 10 Class AAA Tournament, and 11 of them qualified for the Northwest Regional.
McDowell had five champions, four runners-up and two third-place finishers.

USFSA is doing what they can best do in the given situation, I think. It seems like everytime Mirai shows a hint of her true potential, people, including myself, have such high hopes, and then she just falls apart under the pressure. For the nth season? I don't even remember. But at the same time she has a special quality that makes people think "This time, it'll be different." USFSA is just waving a seriously red flag to Mirai, considering her "unreliable" like they almost did to Ashley or Caroline. Who knows, maybe this time, it'll be really different and Mirai will have stronger motivation than ever.
Glebova is ranked 33rd as far as I know. I definitely am very disappointed they gave her the spot over Mirai and think it is crazy. However, there is no point complaining about Biyukova-Mirai could not receive that spot.
Kexin Zhang - she was the top Chinese ladies skater at Worlds last year, and withdrew from her competitions. Massive disappointment, as she really had potential.
Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification!
Has Mirai herself made any comment about this? It would be impolitic to do so, but maybe she did not want to contest the full Grand Prix this season and is content with CoC, an early senior B, and plenty of time to build for Nationals.
She's expressed disappointment in not having two grand prix events because she would have liked a shot at the grand prix final, but that's all she's stated publicly. There's a goldenskate article about Finlandia results that quotes her saying pretty much that.
She also mentioned she thought Finlandia was a great start to the season and that she has a lot to work on when she gets home. It's nice to see her talk with such a positive attitude, about her skating and her life. I really hope she's able to pick up a second event this fall. I really do think she's on the upswing.
Kexin Zhang's abandoned slot at TEB filled by Jenna McCorkell. There's definitely something going on with the passing over of Mirai. I can only hope it's that the people who need to know, already have the inside tip that Alissa will be withdrawing from NHK and Mirai will get the replacement invite and this has been the plan all along. I truly hope that it's not something more nefarious against her. Her international results do not justify being passed over for way way lesser skaters. Pay attention, ISU.
I do have to say that I wish the ISU would require that the first group of eligeable replacements all get chosen before making anyone lower on the list an option, and then the same with the next group, and so on.
Edit~ Or at least require that they get invited and pass on the spot before opening up new candidates.
I do think something else to keep in mind though is that the people who are being invited over Mirai are people who did not even have one GP event (for instance Jenna, mentioned two posts above, or Elena). So it isn't as though these lower ranked skaters are being given two slots while Mirai still has one- they are skaters who went to Worlds and who did not receive any GP assignment until now.
I'm a huge Mirai fan. No one hopes more than me that Mirai will get a second assignment, bit I feel like the situation is not always being discussed in a way that reflects the whole picture.
It appears Mirai is being treated as a second or even third alternate every time there is consideration to fill a spot. My guess, however, is that she is being "saved" for consideration of NHK once AC decides she needs to withdraw because all she can do are double jumps and a single axel. Mirai would get another GP spot, but also another loooooooong trip to make to Asia which may even disrupt her training at home this fall.
Another thing to consider is this ... is Mirai not being given GP assignments so that she would be REQUIRED to perform in Regional and Sectional Competitions to qualify for US Nationals? In my view, Mirai should be REQUIRED to qualify for Nationals given her poor performances last year, both in the GP series and at US Nationals.
Mirai does NOT deserve a BYE to Nationals this year, and maybe USFS is holding her back to make her earn her spot at Nationals and FIGHT for it and PROVE herself. She has not yet proven herself to be a consistently high-level performer the USFS can count on at EVERY competition to skate well.
I think she should blow off CoC, even though she will get money for it, stay home, train for Sectionals and prove she can still compete at the highest level and restore USFS enthusiasm about her.
Just my 2 cents.
As for the rest, I see no reason why she should have to give up a spot that she earned fair and square (as well as, you note yourself, potentially thousands of dollars) because you think she should have to go to Sectionals. USFSA gratefully does not think so. The rest is Mirai's decision. Not ours.
Additionally, if only the USA had even one performer we could count on at EVERY competition to skate well. That hasn't been the case since Kwan, or actually, for a few years there, Flatt (though that time is through). We may now have it in Gracie or Ashley but I'm withholding judgment till the end of this season. I see no reason to punish or critique Mirai specially when all our other inconsistent performers push on without such punishment or critique.

NEW RIEGEL - Upper Sandusky's Cody Gabriel did what any good closer does: slam the door on the opponent.
Gabriel came into the seventh with two on and nobody out and the Rams clinging to a 7-6 lead and managed to hold off New Riegel Tuesday night in non-league action.
With runners on first and second, Aaron Acree picked up a bunt single off Gabriel to load the bases. Andrew Hohman then flew out to right and Alex Kenner and fired home to hold the tying run at third base. Gabriel struck out Blaine Hughes for the second out.
Brady Hall battled with Gabriel, fouling off two pitches with 1-2 count, before rocketing a grounder to first baseman Trey Clark. Clark knocked the ball down and beat Hall to the bag for the game-clinching out.
Sam Plott (1-1) picked up the win on the mound for the Rams (1-1) while Jake Dryfuse (0-1) took the loss for the Blue Jackets (2-2).
Alec Oney led the Rams' attack with three hits, including a double, while Tristan Reichelderfer, Cameron Binau, Plott, Kolin Johnson and Josh Lear all had two hits each. Kenner and Clark each singled.
For the Blue Jackets Austin Mathias had three singles. Dryfuse had a double while Brandyn Reinhart had a pair of hits. Nick Wank had two singles. Acree, Hohman and Hughes each singled.
Lakota pounds Fostoria
KANSAS - Lakota managed just four hits against Fostoria, but that was enough to produce 12 Raider runs in a 12-1 five-inning Lakota victory..
Kody Brewer had a pair of hits for the Raiders (1-1). Dakota Gilbert and Nick Watts each added singles. Watts also picked up the win on the mound, allowing five hits and one run to get the victory, Lakota's first of the season.
Lance Smith had two hits for Fostoria (0-3). Hunter Abell, Kaleb Bemis and Casey Kitchen all singled.
McWilliams' powerful in Tiger win
ATTICA - Mason McWilliams struck out 13 and only allowed two hits in in a complete game shutout against Crestline. Seneca East won, 3-0.
Seneca East's (2-0) Ben Cramer smacked a double, the only extra-base hit of the game. Nate Phillips, Adam Bauman, Dalton Wise and Jordan Bowerman each added hits.
The win marked McWilliams' first victory of the season.
Columbian eeks out final inning victory
MARION - Bryce Lonsway pitched a solid game and had Columbian's offense to back him in a 6-4 victory over Marion Harding.
Columbian scored two runs in the top of the seventh to gain a 6-4 edge and Marion Harding was unable to respond, raising Columbian to 2-0 overall.
Lonsway (2-0) fanned eight, going the distance to stay undefeated.
Mike Rohrbach lined two doubles and Vince Anway ripped a triple to lead the Tornadoes while Lonsway, Bubba Miller, and Jordan Dye each had hits.

I've seen quite a few posts referencing how we will be in trouble next year moving to the Eastern Conference and playing some tough, physical teams. I was skeptical and wanted to see how we've stacked up in the recent past. Now I know that these stats were with #5 on the blue line but its not like he made us all that physical so here goes.I also included out record against the existing NE division
2011-2012 season: 10-7-1 against the East, 4-2 against the NE
2010-2011 season : 12-4-2 against the East, 6-0 against the NE
2009-2010 season: 9-6-3 against the East, 4-2 against the NE
Just for kicks against the big bad Bruins:

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The Stetson women's tennis team lost for the first time since Jan. 19 on Saturday, falling on the road at ETSU by a score of 6-1. The Bucs snapped the Hatters' school record 10-game winning streak.
"I am very proud of my team today," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "I know that our doubles can do much better and I am certain that we will raise our level at FGCU on Wednesday. Our singles will also have to improve, but again, I am confident that we can elevate our performance at each position."
ETSU won at both number two and number three doubles to secure the first point of the match and get the Bucs out on the right foot. On court one, Stetson senior Diana Bukajeva and freshman Isabella Fernandez were tied 7-7 against Lyn Yee Choo and Anna Gerbasi before the match went unfinished.
The Bucs took the first three singles matches to clinch the victory with a 4-0 advantage. ETSU won in straight sets at the five, four, and three positions.
Bukajeva earned the lone victory for Stetson on the day. The senior won 6-4, 7-5 against Choo at the number one position to cut ETSU's advantage to 4-1. The Bucs then went on to win a pair of three-set tilts at number six and number two to finish with the 6-1 triumph.
Stetson (10-2) will continue its three-match road trip to start Atlantic Sun Conference play on Wednesday. The Hatters take on Florida Gulf Coast at 11 a.m. in Fort Myers.

However, one element of the film that's stirred much discussion is the frail figures of both Hugh Jackman and Ann Hathaway, who combined lost nearly 50 pounds to play characters in the midst of a revolution.
Jackman appeared on Ellen in late December to discuss his demanding role as Jean Valjean, which required him to appear gaunt and distressed in much of the film. "I lost about 25 pounds," said Jackman. "I was as lean as I could possibly be." Jackman had also gone on a water dehydration diet for certain portions of filming in order to get a "sunken cheek" look. "I hadn't drunk for 36 hours I had a massive headache," he said. (more…)

On the international level, Datsyuk played with Team Russia in both the 2010 Olympics and the IIHF World Championship, winning silver in the latter. He also was recently voted by Russians as the best Russian hockey player.
Im actually surprised. I thought the people of Russia would have chose someone like Ovechkin for his explosive style of play. I am happy to see Datsyuk get that honor though he for sure deserves it.
The article for those interested
Sorry for the spelling error in the title I am still half asleep hopefully a mod or can fix it or something haha.

Two armed gang members who were arrested for weapons violations in Greeley after being stopped for playing music too loud were sentenced earlier this week to federal prison.
An officer approached a vehicle carrying Daniel Prieto, 33, and Saul Galvan, 27, in August in a downtown Greeley parking lot after hearing loud bass, which violated a noise ordinance. Police found that Prieto and Galvan, who were both on probation after serving prison sentences, had guns and drugs in the vehicle.
The two were indicted by a federal grand jury on suspicion of being convicted felons in possession of firearms. Galvan pleaded guilty and Prieto was convicted by a jury of weapons possession by a previous offender.
Galvan was ordered to serve 21 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised probation. Prieto was sentenced to serve more than eight years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised probation.
Prieto had most recently served a 10-year prison sentence for an aggravated robbery conviction in 2002. Galvan was sentenced in July 2011 to two years in prison.

COLUMBIA - House lawmakers did an about-face Tuesday, choosing to give themselves a pay raise just moments after they had rejected the idea.
Gov. Nikki Haley immediately criticized the move on social media.
"Unreal. The House just reconsidered & voted themselves a pay raise," Haley posted on Twitter moments after the vote. "Thank those who voted 'N' and stood with us."
The $12,000 pay raise was one of 76 vetoes Gov. Haley had placed on the 2014-2015 state budget, most of which were overridden by the Republican-led S.C. House of Representatives.
Haley had wanted the pay increase to go to state voters for approval by way of the ballot box. Rep. Jim Merrill R-Charleston, took to the floor to explain the effects of the pay raise, answering questions. He did not recommend to override or sustain the veto when it went up for a vote. He also said that the districts lawmakers represent are more populous and more pay would go a long way toward making the job of serving more desirable and competitive. Lawmakers' current yearly salary is $10,400.
Though the House initially voted on sustaining Haley's veto, members later returned to the measure and 73 members voted in favor of overriding it.
Most of the expenditures that benefitted Charleston also survived Haley's cuts, including $200,000 for the Southeastern Wildlife Expo; $100,000 to the nonprofit Palmetto Project to enroll school-aged children in Medicaid; and $100,000 for the next version of the Medal of Honor Bowl, a college post-season all-star game played at The Citadel.
Other notable survivors of the veto debate included $150,000 for three annual Black Expos, including one in the Lowcountry; $300,000 for the Lowcountry Graduate Center in North Charleston; and $150,000 for unfinished sections of the 500-mile Palmetto Trail from the coast to the mountains.
One Charleston-area item that did not survive Tuesday was $100,000 toward the creation of a tourism trail dedicated to Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion.
Haley's vetoes had totaled about $18 million in spending out of the $7 billion budget that is scheduled to take effect July 1. The items will next be taken up by the state Senate Wednesday. A two-thirds vote by the House and Senate is needed to override governor vetoes.
Early into the debate Tuesday, it appeared that most of the spending requests that House members wanted were destined to survive. At one point Merrill even asked the members not to start a veto war by attacking some of the spending projects that lawmakers from other geographic parts of the state wanted.
"And that goes for all regions of the state," he said.
In terms of the Charleston-designated spending, Haley had objected to several on grounds that taxpayer money for a football games or for events that were capable of sustaining themselves, such as the Wildlife Expo, were not a good use for public dollars.
The Medal of Honor Bowl money came as part of a three-game package totaling $300,000; it also supported North-South and the Shrine Bowl high school stars games.
Another Charleston-area measure that survived the veto process Tuesday was an effort that would provide about $275,000 for an anti-crime initiative in North Charleston. State Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, said he hoped the money will make an impact in the city, if it survives the Senate.
"This allows us to really fund some programs that go in a meaningful way to help reduce crime," he said. "What I'm talking about is not necessarily more police officers. But you have a number of community policing projects in local neighborhoods and they need things like additional lighting (and) emergency boxes that seniors can press if they are in danger. And all these things can help reduce crime because you'll have law enforcement more accessible."
Also overridden by the House was Haley's cut of $2 million meant for the lieutenant governor's office to increase funding for Home and Community Based Services.

Bertrand Serlet, Apple's
senior vice president of Software Engineering, describes, "Snow
Leopard builds on our most successful operating system ever and we're
happy to get it to users earlier than expected. For just $29,
Leopard users get a smooth upgrade to the world's most advanced
operating system and the only system with built in Exchange
The new OS is set to go head-to-head with
Microsoft's Windows 7 and delivers many major improvements for Mac
Over 90 percent of the 1,000 core programs in OS X had
their performance tuned and improved, according to Apple. Many
-- namely, Finder, Mail, iCal, iChat, and Safari -- were moved from
32-bit into a 64-bit world, which boosts memory performance, among
other things. Apple says that its Finder is "more
responsive", its Mail client is twice as fast, and Time Machine
is 80 percent faster at its initial backup.
Apple includes the
new QuickTime X and Safari 4 with the OS. Apple says that the
new version of Safari is more resistant to plug-in crashes and 50
percent faster at general web browsing (Safari recently received the
accolade of being listed by Futuremark as tied with Google's Chrome
as the fastest browser).
The size of the installation has also
been cut in half freeing 7 GB.
Apple is pushing a
couple of new technologies with Snow Leopard. The first is its
Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) a technology designed to optimize
multi-core usage. Another new tech is OpenCL, a C-based open
standard, which looks to provide heterogenous processing on both GPUs
and CPUs.
Ironically, one of Apple's biggest selling point
with the new OS comes from competitor Microsoft. Apple
explains, "Snow Leopard is the only desktop operating system
with built in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and it
allows you to use Mac OS X Mail, Address Book and iCal to send and
receive email, create and respond to meeting invitations, and search
and manage contacts with global address lists. Exchange information
works seamlessly within Snow Leopard so users can also take advantage
of OS X only features such as fast Spotlight searches and Quick Look
Unlimited licenses of Snow Leopard are
available for $499, half the price of an unlimited pack for Leopard.
The new OS will start shipping this Friday to customers that
pre-order. Amazon.com has already been holding an unofficial
pre-order for the last couple weeks and saw Snow Leopard jump
to the top of its software sales charts.
Snow Leopard
Server will launch on August 28, as well, alongside the new consumer
OS. The Server edition comes with Podcast Producer 2 and Mobile
Access Server and costs $499 for an unlimited license.
quote: The 32-bit kernel fully supports 64-bit applications, all system libraries that 64-bit applications use are fully 64-bit, and 64-bit applications have a full 64-bit virtual address space of 16 exabytes available to them on Mac OS X. The primary benefit of a 64-bit kernel is to improve the efficiency of accessing over 32GB of RAM.
quote: there is no conceivable reason to only allow 2GB RAM on hardware that is suppose to be high end.
quote: Welcome to 64 bit Apple users, please commence your 2 year waiting period before suitable 3rd party drivers become available for your hardware.. at that point perhaps everyone will see true 64 bit.
quote: Apple is trying to pull a fast one over its customers, they have been claiming something to be true for months and have taken back on that promise. While I would still upgrade to SL, if I were an Apple user, I would not be very happy right now.
quote: I agree it is a good move, but I feel unless you move to newer hardware, you're pretty much SOL.
quote: There is no reason why my Macbook can't address 8GB of ram with a 64-bit OS, but Apple went ahead and made sure to cripple it to only work with a maximum of 2GB of ram, which sucks. I have a laptop that cost $1700 at the time it was purchased, but it was crippled by the company.Dells, HPs, Lenovos, etc with the same hardware from the same period could support 8GB of ram, provided you have a 64-bit OS.

Switzerland's most panoramic planet trail runs high above the Val d'Anniviers in the Valais. It is also accessible during the cold season as a cleared winter hiking trail. As you walk you will enjoy a fantastic summit panorama as well as superb views into the Val d'Anniviers and the Rhone Valley. At the same time, the trail gives you a sense of the vast dimensions of the solar system - with every step you take representing about one million astronomical kilometres. The trail starts at the top station of the funicular railway running from St-Luc to Tignousa. It then gently rises as it follows the slope to Alp Le Chiesso and then becomes a little steeper towards the Hôtel Weisshorn. This Belle Epoque building is only accessible on foot in winter. Continue your hike by returning to Le Chiesso before branching off into the forest. Moderately steep now, the trail runs down to St-Luc, where it ends at the funicular railway valley station.

The original order was received promptly in amazingly high quality packaging - stylish and actually classy. After a few months a problem with the product developed. My call to Levenger was handled with courtesy; the solution to the problem was determined through two phone calls, exact details about how the return and replacement would be handled - all to MY benefit in the end!

Not expecting the world, I ordered these cards as a quick and easy option versus having our professional print shop make some for us. My only criteria was that Levenger not to put their branding on these like VistaPrint does. Sadly, there it was when I opened the package: the reverse of each card says "Levenger" and their phone number.Nowhere in the product description is this mentioned. I'm trying to figure out how to return these.

Comments about Levenger 500 Personalized 3 x 5 Cards - Horizontal:
I've used the pocket briefcase for as long as it's been around and it's only recently that I decided to have my cards personalized. It's a nice touch and a quality product. In years past you could put a logo on the cards which I was hoping I'd be able to do. Also feel that in this day and age we should be able to choose our fonts with more flexibility as we would if using a word processor, with variable fonts (and more to choose from), and sizes for each line.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

type is too small
By Yoshifriend
The paper quality is lovely and the box it comes in elegant, but the heading is tiny, tiny, tiny. Seems to be no way to control the size of the font, which would help greatly. Also, if one had more choice of fonts and colors, this would mean you could individualize your card.

LOCKPORT – A man who allegedly injured three Niagara Falls police officers after a drunken driving arrest and another man who was allegedly intoxicated before injuring two people in a collision were arraigned Thursday in Niagara County Court.
Allyn D. Smith, 31, of Bollier Avenue in the Falls, pleaded not guilty in the case involving the police officers, while Cody Miller, 25, of Divide Road, Town of Niagara, denied 16 charges in connection with the crash.
Smith is charged with three counts of second-degree assault and single counts of aggravated and misdemeanor DWI, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, a lane violation, imprudent speed and endangering the welfare of a child.
Smith refused the breath test after his arrest, Brenner said.
Deputy District Attorney Theodore A. Brenner said three officers, one of whom missed 10 weeks of work, were hurt trying to subdue Smith Nov. 2 on Niagara Falls Boulevard. He said a Taser video exists of part of the incident.
In the collision case, Miller pleaded not guilty to three counts each of aggravated and first-degree vehicular assault, one count of second-degree assault, three counts of felony driving while intoxicated and single counts of running a red light, imprudent speed, reckless driving, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and not wearing a seat belt.
A blood test measured Miller's blood alcohol content at 0.32 percent, four times the legal threshold for intoxication, after the Nov. 3 crash at Porter and Tuscarora roads in the Town of Niagara.
Gary N. Bugyi, 49, of Wheatfield, and his 12-year-old daughter were injured in the other vehicle, a pickup truck, Niagara County sheriff's deputies said at the time.
In other drunken driving cases Thursday:
• Thomas B. Staley Sr., 52, of Colt Avenue, Lewiston, pleaded not guilty to felony driving while intoxicated, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and a lane violation. The charges stem from an Oct. 25 arrest in Lewiston by state police.
• Michael V. Jopson, 43, of Chili, pleaded not guilty to aggravated and felony DWI and two counts of first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, stemming from a Nov. 16 arrest in Niagara Falls.

However, the star, 50, made a public statement of his own Tuesday, when he was back to work on the June Lake, Calif., set of Oblivion – without his wedding ring.
Talking to a photographer before filming the final scene of the day, a dressed-down Cruise – who will have generous visitation rights – wore no band on his left hand. Holmes, 33, was first spotted without her ring when she filmed Project Runway: All Stars July 2, just days after news broke of their split.
On set, Cruise stayed to himself, a source tells PEOPLE. (Shooting is expected to go through this week in the mountains.)
Meanwhile, Holmes was spotted with Suri at the Chelsea Piers sports center in New York City, not far from their new Manhattan apartment. The actress is also keeping busy: She continues work on a new film she co-wrote, Molly, which follows the life of a single mother and her daughter.

City Council stands up for equal rights
Buckhannon adopts new resolution addressing sexual orientation

As a straight Christian, I can not judge you for your hatred toward fellow man. However, very factually the American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American Psychoanalytic Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics among others have released extensive scientific research showing that homosexuality is not a decision. It's available online and probably at the library. Further, although homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible, God or Jesus say nothing about it. Also, many Biblical scholars will point to other times "Sodomy" is mentioned in the Bible as not being hospitable to the less fortunate. Of course, the Bible also says that we shouldn't plant two different crops in the same field or wear clothes made of mixed fabric. These are all truths that can be proven in text and through research, so while homosexuality may not be a choice - homophobia is.

Show me WHERE any law says it EXCLUDES anyone based on sexual PERVERSNESS??? It doesn't. THIS is just a bunch of godless, disgusting animals wanting everyone to tell them it's 'okay' to be a disgusting sickening pervert. Well it's NOT; it never has been and it never will be. God calls it an ABOMINATION and that's that. It's settled. What you want to do in your own home PRIVATELY we could care LESS. You're still sick and disgusting and perverted and we won't EVER ACCEPT it as anything else.

These comments are barbaric and reminiscent of ones segregationists made about black people in the 50s and 60s. I am proud to be from Randolph County. I have since moved away, and I enjoy sharing the Inter-Mountain with my friends from time to time, but the comments that accompany this article make me embarrassed that I have to defend something as basic as equal rights. Our founding documents state that ALL men are created equal, not just some. These same documents set the framework for the separation of church and state. Since that's the case, the church should have nothing to do with a decision involving city government. And if the churches are as close-minded as these comments make them sound, I'm not sure I would want them to be involved anyway. I applaud John Waltz for moving into the 21st Century and would urge anybody who thinks that homosexuality is a "new fad" or a choice to PLEASE do some scientific research.

It appears that the city of Buckhannon cannot think for itself. It wants to be considered a progressive city so it believes that it has to do whatever is the "new fad". It sounds as though they never thought about passing a "fairness act" until some organization brought it to their attention.
What happened to all of the churches in Buckhannon? Have they rewritten their bibles? The Buckhannon in which I grew up did not believe in homosexuality.

Razorback fans will hold a rally Monday in support of University of Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino.
The rally will take place at 7 p.m. in front of the Broyles Athletic Center on the campus of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
"What Bobby Petrino did isn't right, but in the four years he's been here, he's brought so much respect to our team," fan Raymond Burks said. "We were circling Vanderbilt territory with Coach Houston Nutt in charge."
