GENEVA (8 April 2013) – "It is a positive development that the fate of Europe's largest and most marginalized minority group, the Roma, is more and more on the international human rights agenda," said today the United Nations Independent Expert on minority issues, Rita Izsák, on International Roma Day.
"However, political and legislative commitments must be implemented in reality to bring the so much needed changes into the lives of Roma," she warned, while recalling that the UN Human Rights Council has made nearly 250 recommendations to almost 30 countries concerning the situation of Roma communities.
Estimates suggest that up to 12 million Roma live in Europe, and other sizeable populations live in Latin America, most of them at the margins of society. Roma people regardless of whether they are young or old, boys or girls, residing in urban or rural areas, in Europe or elsewhere have their daily struggles to enjoy their basic human rights:
Ferlando, 16, is receiving a personal identity document for the first time in his life this year, so that the authorities can prosecute him for theft. No effort was ever made to provide him with a personal identity document so that he might attend school.
Elena, 44, is one of 87 women who sent their complaints to their country's ombudsman, reporting forced sterilization. She tirelessly continues raising awareness and maintains the movement she started by founding the Group of Women Harmed by Forced Sterilization. "I decided to come out with my story so that it doesn't happen to other women, to our children, to our grandchildren."
Sorina, 30, was fired from her job taking care of an elderly woman because her employers found out she is Romani. Sorina holds a Masters degree in Political Science, but has been unable to find work other than cleaning or taking care of the elderly in her host country.Vesvije,45, and her five sons were deported back to their country of origin after 16 years. Her three youngest children were born in their host country, where they also attended school. Where the family home once stood in their home country, now only a few rocks are left. "We have nothing here. For us there is no future, no life." They barely speak the local language.
Sava, 32, was refused to be hired as a driver in his community, because he is of Roma ethnicity. The mayor preferred to hire a non-Roma driver because, as he claimed "these are not potatoes to be transported but children."
Dervana, 18, had her two-month old baby violently ripped from her arms by the police when she was reading the palms of by-passers.
István and András, 18 and 21, were placed in so-called special schools maintained for children with mental disabilities at age 10 and 12. In 2013, the European Court of Human Rights found that they were discriminated against and isolated from mainstream education, hindering their prospects of higher education and employment.
Sevdija, 18, was abandoned by her parents and was, therefore, denied the right to obtain an ID card. This prevented her to register her newborn baby in the birth registry and benefit from health insurance.
Miguel (45) has been bullied after a local bank has published a warning notice which advised to "be careful with people who look like gypsies and read fortune, they can rob you".
Malin, 59, one of the candidates in local elections, went to remove a suspicious package left in front of the building of the country's largest pro-Roma political party in 2012. A bomb exploded tearing off his arm. He died of his injuries a few days later "These are a few real people we remember today. They live in this world, in countries like yours and mine, where they are subjected to the same kind of marginalisation," the UN Independent Expert said. "We must not forget however the millions of other Roma who need our attention, commitment and efforts today so that they can enjoy all their basic human rights. We must go beyond words and take action."
"Everyone of us can play a part and reach out to seek the views and visions of Roma people on how and what they want to see as a change in their societies," Ms. Izsák stressed. "And then work together for that change, so that we can all live together in peace, dignity and truly achieve unity in diversity."
Rita Izsák was appointed as Independent Expert on minority issues by the Human Rights Council in June 2011 and took up her functions on 01 August 2011. As Independent Expert, she is independent from any government or organization and serves in her individual capacity. Under her UN mandate, the Independent Expert is required to promote implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, which marks its 20th anniversary in 2012.

Agree or Disagree? The Supreme Court's Ruling on Hobby Lobby
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that companies with strong religious ties can be exempt from an Affordable Care Act requirement to offer certain contraceptives in employee health plans.
A March Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that the majority of Americans (53%) of Americans believe that employers should not be exempt from covering birth control. Broken down, 78% of liberals and 58% of moderates believe that employers should not be exempt, while 60% of conservatives said that employers should be exempt.
We are following reaction from political and religious groups and will be posting those here, along with reactions from readers. Tell us your thoughts on the ruling in the comments or on Twitter with #WSJHobbyLobby and vote in our poll:
White House: the court's decision would jeopardize the health of women. Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that "We believe that the owners of for-profit companies should not be allowed to assert their personal religious views to deny their employees federally mandated benefits."
Congress: for the most part, the ruling split Congress along party lines. Republican lawmakers cheered the Supreme Court's decision while, Democrats criticized the ruling as a blow to women's choice.
2016 Potential Candidates for President: potential presidential candidates are sticking to party lines as they weigh in on the ruling.
Businesses fitting religious exemption: Atlas Machine and Supply Inc. in Louisville, Ky. and Hastings Automotive Inc. and Hastings Chrysler Center Inc. in Minnesota are among business who plan to stop covering contraceptives in their health plans.

Buying Cars on Ebay: eBay Protection Policies
|Email Print
Do not depend on the eBay Buyer Vehicle Protection Program. It's not that I don't believe eBay will protect you, they have a vested financial interest in doing so, it's that there are a lot of variables and a lot of things that can go wrong. In fact, whenever you buy anything, the protection policies should never come into play because you should only enter into a transaction that you are 100% confident in. If there is a inkling of foul play, don't buy the car. If the guy sounds funny or is not entirely forthcoming when you ask a question, don't buy the car. If you're on the fence about the vehicle, for whatever reason, do not buy the car.
Vehicle Purchase Protection
Ensures that you receive the vehicle you paid for, with coverage up to $20,000 against fraud or material misrepresentation.
That's the guarantee that eBay provides, with a $100 deductible. But if you look closely, it only protects you if the seller commits fraud or misrepresents the vehicle. A lot of times, the listing will state "As-Is" and so that absolves the seller of any problems that he or she didn't know about beforehand.
Let's say you purchase a car and it has a huge scratch that the seller didn't mention. Well, that's something that the seller can't pretend to not have known about. But what if the problem is a small leak in the coolant line that ruptures, causes your car to overheat, and you blow a head gasket? Well, that small leak isn't something that the seller would necessarily know about, especially if the leak was small and grew over time. The repairs to your car would be in the thousands of dollars but you can't hold the seller liable because he or she didn't know.
So, bottom line, if you would buy the car without the protection program, buy the car. If you see a car that you would only buy if you had eBay's protection program, skip it. Do yourself a favor and skip it. No money is worth the headaches that a potential "mysterious" problem would bring.{ 46 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Because we both use logic and awesomeness to determine our thoughts and opinions, haha
I feel like whether they were to choose Comerica or the Big House, they really can't lose. I agree that Comerica would have more of a Detroit feel but having 100k fans show up would be absolutely insane.
I know the NBC would want major American markets but I think Detroit - Toronto would be the best possible match up. Toronto is obviously a huge market and I think Americans care about the Leafs too. Plus, think of it this way...say the Leafs end up witha strong season and make the playoffs. Then if the Wings were moved to the Eastern Conference the NHL could use the WC to reignite and showcase this rivalry.
If it had to be an all american match up I would choose Detroit vs. Boston
Damn it Krause, why do we always agree? Are you like my long los brother or something?

I can't believe people WANT to see a Detroit-Minnesota game. Virtually every Wings fan (in the past) has agreed that Minnesota games are snooze-fests. I'd like to see an Original 6 matchup, but since they refuse to do Canadian teams that limits the options some. I don't see how a Toronto-Detroit game wouldn't sell out the Big House, though.
That was Minnesota in years past. They have clearly made strides in the right direction and I think it would be an exciting game. Plus I would hope they would wear something similar to the North Stars jersey which would be neat to see. I agree though, I would love to see a Wings-Leafs match up but I don't see it happening. If we move east, we will play them plenty soon enough. They aren't worried about selling out. It all has to do with TV ratings.

Last year. But I was thinking a Boston-Detroit WC would be awesome, too. The Winter Classic is basically a showcase for a select few teams anyways. Especially since my money is on a Boston-Detroit Cup final.
last year was caps/pens. so maybe the year before? my memory blows. cant even remember who else played against them. i only remember the important WC. Wings/Hawks when Pavs was doing some nasty s*** out there.
edit: so people arent confused the original Q was when was bostons last WC.

I don't care where it's played I'll be there. As far as the opponet I think Avs, Pens, Bruins, Blues (if we are still in the West). I am a bit bias towards the blues because I'd have some buddies who would make the trip with me to watch the game.
I actually wouldn't mind to see us play the Blues as well. I have a friend who lives down there and is a Blues fan and she would probably come up for the game if that was the case. Oh and I don't know if you have noticed but your signature says Steve Yzerman is the greatest caption. Not captain. lol.
Posted 01 December 2011 - 01:43 PM
Yeah, and it probably wont be in Ann Arbor either. When Detroit hosts the Winter Classic, it will be at Comerica Park, as crappy as it would be to view a hockey game there...
Here is an excerpt from the article as well:
While it would be great, probably not going to have Canadian teams in the Winter Classic.
...as for an opponent, since we'll be in the Eastern Conference, I would like to see one of our newest rivals, the Devils, Bruins or Islanders.

Based on the NHL's brilliant and super fair selection process we can guess the potential opponents the Wings may face:
NY Rangers
At the moment Crosby's only been a part of 40% of the Winter Classics so it's probable the next one will be Detroit vs Pittsburgh.
Thanks TeeMan!

I feel like it needs to be some kind of team with history. The Sharks don't have a whole lot of history. Perhaps we could play the Wild. Detroit is rivals with Minnesota in every other sport just about so I'm sure it would be a good game for the fans and players.
Sharks are the current rival as far as I'm concerned. The Wild = *yawn*

I know it's pointless. I don't care that it's pointless. I still have fun thinking about stuff like this. There are others on the board that do as well. If you don't, fine. Let us have our fun.
V. Filppula(33)---P. Datsyuk(38)---J. Franzen(37)
G. Nyquist(27)---H. Zetterberg(36)---T. Jurco(24)
T. Tatar(26)---C. Jarnkrok(25)---T. Pulkkinen(25)
R. Sheahan(25)---D. Helm(30)---J. Abdelkader(30)

T. Holmstrom(44), T. Bertuzzi(42), D. Cleary(38), J. Hudler(33), D. Miller(33), P. Eaves(33), J. Mursak(29)
...If all these supposed "high-end talent level" prospects we've got pan out, it's going to be hard to not roll three scoring lines in the near future. Holmstrom's no longer going to be around. Bertuzzi's no longer going to be around. I'd be surprised if Hudler was resigned this off-season. Cleary's not aging well, I'd be surprised if he was still around. Miller, Eaves and Mursak could all stick, but there will be no shortage of competition. It's scary seeing Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Franzen at 38, 37 and 36 years of age. It's scary seeing all that talent on the same roster. It's scary seeing such a physically unintimidating team.
N. Kronwall(36)---I. White(32)
B. Smith(28)---K. Quincey(31)
J. Kindl(30)---J. Ericsson(33)
X. Oullet(23)
N. Lidstrom(47), B. Stuart(37), R. Sproul(24)
...Lidstrom 'should' be gone (lol?). Stuart's gone. I think it'd be surprising if Holland let White walk (without a fight) next off-season, so I've got him listed. I think it'd be surprising if Holland let Quincey walk (after giving up a 1st) this off-season, so I've got him listed. I think it'd be surprising if Kindl was still on the team, but I've still got him listed due to the lack of prospects (it'll be interesting to see if sleepers emerge here?). In general, this is a group that could use some outside additions.
J. Howard(33)
P. Mrazek(25)
T. Conklin(41), J. MacDonald(37), T. McCollum(27)
...Not much to talk about here. Conklin's gone. MacDonald's probably gone. McCollum has some serious ground to make up on Mrazek. Excited about possibly having two plus goalies on the same team though.
...Well, in the next five years:
-1) Proven, reliable, elite talent is going to need to either emerge from within or be acquired from outside. Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Franzen being in their late 30's in five years scares the hell out of me.
-2) Some depth is probably going to need to be added to the blue line.
-3) The goalie situation looks great, as things currently stand.
-4) Size and strength (at all positions) is going to need to be acquired from outside, as none of it appears to be on the way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KCgirl Perfect catch-all tote It's just what I want to travel with: a zippered cavern with just a couple of pockets. I'm sick of trying to remember which pocket I stored an item in among the myriad pockets of my old bag. Lipault style is SIMPLICITY! November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sargexxxxxxxx Perfect size. Very upscale product. GREAT GREAT GREAT March 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by frequenttraveller handles too small for shoulder Bought this in conjunction with the rolling satchel. Tried to slide it over the handle of the rolling satchel but it kept falling off. Had to carry it over my shoulder, but the handles were not big enough to strap over my shoulder and carry it comfortably under my arm. Had to basically carry it with my hand bearing all of the weight of the bag and contents. Also, no outside pockets of any kind to quickly store my boarding pass and ID as I was going through security. Not a very convenient bag for airline travel… I thought that they would have those features as standard on carry on bags! November 27, 2013

The drivers coming toward youare they sober? Are they under the influence of a mind-altering substance? How can you possibly know? How fast are you traveling? How fast is the vehicle coming toward you traveling? If you collide, both of you driving at 55 mph, the impact speed will be in the neighborhood of 110 mph. What will happen if you aren't wearing your seatbelt? What will happen if you are? Have you ever seen someone who flew threw a windshield? Do you think such things only happen to other people?
When the Be Smart Be Safe Coalition met last week to talk about traffic safety, it was reported that, of the 15 traffic fatalities in Columbiana County this year, only one person was wearing a seatbelt. The statistics included 11 drivers, two passengers, one pedestrian and one motorcycle driver. When a seasoned highway patrolman says, "The last fatality was the worst I've ever seen," one stops to ponder what those patrolman's eyes have seen over the years and with compassion blesses him or her for staying with the job, and for the people who have to do the cleanup when the scene has been cleared. The tragic part of that story is that a seatbelt would have made a huge difference.
At your house, clicking your seatbelt may be as automatic as inserting the car key into the ignition. You don't think about it. You buckle your babies into car seats, your toddlers and children up to age 8 in booster seats. Your front seat passenger clicks that belt around them and you are locked into your own before the car ever moves. If you forget, your children will most likely remind you to buckle up.
Maybe we take for granted that everyone clicks before they move the car. Many people do not use their seatbelts. In Ohio, seatbelt usage is not governed by a primary law that permits law enforcement to make traffic stops and write citations for violators. Traffic officers say that they could make a lot of stops for seatbelt violations if there was a primary law to enforce.
It seems like common sense should be at play here. Of the 15 traffic fatalities this year, one driver had five seatbelt violations and still did not utilize the seatbelt. The passengers were locked in, but the driver was not. The driver, unfortunately, did not survive. Had that individual been wearing a seatbelt, death would not have occurred.
Seatbelts save lives, decreasing the number of fatalities, and help to lessen injuries. When you talk to people who have been saved by seatbelts, you may have some impact from their story. When you have been saved by the belt, you become a believer. A report about the issue (ohiohighwaysafetyoffice.ohio.gov/Reports/2011StatewideTelephoneSurvey.pdf) advises that when you think you may be involved in a traffic accident where you could be seriously injured or killed, you are more likely to use a seatbelt. If you already have been involved in a traffic accident, you know the value and the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
All tragedies can not be averted, but some can. Injuries still happen sometimes, even when you use your seatbelt, but the belt gives you a better chance. Who doesn't want to be around to raise their children, enjoy their grandchildren, and keep making memories in the family scrapbook?
The above report, which you can read in its entirety online, also advises, "African Americans, males and pickup truck drivers exhibit comparatively lower levels of seat belt use, according to results from Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use in Ohio. Drivers and passengers who live in rural communities may also be less likely to wear their seatbelts" Folks, Columbiana County is one of those rural communities.
The hope is that you enjoy your holiday season with its festive events and gatherings of friends. Travel safely to your destinations. The goal is safe highway travel.

Debt Settlement Survey: How Creditors and Collectors Increase Collections
Free report breaks down insideARM.com's debt settlement survey.
Historically, the debt settlement industry has enjoyed a less than stellar reputation in the eyes of most ARM professionals. Many companies were perceived as preying on consumers by charging large upfront fees and delivering little or no results for the consumer.
insideARM.com wanted to further discover not only which companies or segments of our industry most utilize the debt settlement industry, but how ARM firms are utilizing this new channel to increase liquidations.
Download the free report, sponsored by Persolvo Data Systems, and learn:
- Complete survey data breakdown
- Over 25 charts and graphs of the data
- How the ARM industry is working with debt settlement companies
- Download the full report now.
The Survey and Its Results
insideARM.com designed its Debt Settlement Survey to gain insight into the perception and utilization of the debt settlement industry by creditors, buyers, collectors, and legal recovery firms. Recent legislation may have changed the perception of the industry, and we wanted to better understand the extent to which creditors and collectors now utilize this channel to manage collections and recoveries.
The survey, conducted over a two week period in October of 2011, generated a good deal of response. We partnered with Persolvo Data Systems. Over the two week period the survey was available on InsideARM.com, 649 respondents completed the survey.
Respondents Who Currently Work with Debt Settlement Companies
The largest group of respondents identified their primary business classification as Collection Agency. Collection Agencies made up over half of all respondents, or 53%. Collection agencies also made up over half of all companies who currently work with debt settlement agencies to settle accounts.
Conversely, Credit Card Issuers made up the smallest group of respondents to the survey overall, and to those answering YES to working with debt settlement companies. Overall 6% of respondents identified themselves as a Credit Card Issuer, and only 5% of Credit Card Issuers answered YES to working with debt settlement companies to settle debts.

The Big Freeze
The Cubs and the other 29 MLB clubs must submit their MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) and minor league reserve lists (38-man AAA roster, 37-man AA roster, and 35-man Class "A" rosters) to the MLB office no later than the close of business this Thursday (11/20).
What will the Cubs do?
Any player on a minor league reserve list at the close of business on November 20th who is eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft is considered "frozen" on that roster until the conclusion of the Rule 5 Draft, meaning all Rule 5 eligible players who are not added to the MLB 40-man roster by 11/20 cannot be traded to another organization or moved to a different reserve list in the same organization during that period of time. Players on an MLB 40-man roster can be outrighted to the minors during this period, however. (Some of you may remember back a few years ago, when the Cubs had to wait until the conclusion of the Rule 5 Draft to send RHP Mike Nannini to the Florida Marlins as the PTBNL in the Derrek Lee deal, because Nannini was eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft and the trade was executed during the post-11/20 "frozen" period).
Players who were 19 or older on the June 5th prior to signing their first contract and who signed their first contract prior to September 1st of that season are eligible for selection beginning with the 4th Rule 5 Draft after signing, and players who were 18 or younger on the June 5th prior to signing their first contract and who signed prior to September 1st of that season are eligible for selection beginning with the 5th Rule 5 Draft after signing. (For Rule 5 Draft eligibility purposes, a player who signs his first contract after August 31st is considered to have signed his first contract in the next season, and if a player signs his first contract prior to September 1st but is assigned to a minor league club whose regular season has concluded, that player is also considered to have signed his first contract in the next season).
At present, there are 32 Cubs minor leaguers eligible for selection in this year's Rule 5 Draft, and so the Cubs must decide by no later than Thursday if they wish to add any of the 32 to their MLB Reserve List ( 40-man roster), or else risk losing the player in next month's Rule 5 Draft.
Draft-eligible players on AAA rosters can be selected in the Major League Phase of the draft for $50,000, but must be kept on the drafting club's 25-man Active List for an entire season or else get offered back to the player's former club for half the draft price. However, draft-eligible players on AA rosters are available for only $12,000 with no roster restrictions, and draft-eligible players on Class "A" rosters are available for only $4,000 (also with no roster restrictions).
A club can place any of its draft-eligible minor leaguers on which ever reserve list it so chooses (AAA, AA, or "A") on November 20th regardless of where the player played the previous season (and it would have no impact on where the player can play the next season), but most of the players eligible for the Rule 5 Draft are usually assigned to the AAA roster because of the higher draft price and roster restrictions. So any player selected off a AA or Class "A" roster usually is put there with the hope that he will get selected, usually because the club feels the player has zero future in the organization and getting even a few thousand bucks for the player is better than nothing.
Besides the 32 Cubs minor leaguers eligible for selection in this year's Rule 5 Draft, any free-agent who has signed a 2009 minor league contract with the Cubs (including any Cubs minor league free-agent who re-signs with the Cubs) prior to the Rule 5 Draft is eligible for selection as well.
In addition, an MLB club can designate any player who is not otherwise eligible for the Rule 5 Draft as available for selection if the club so chooses. Although it rarely happens, a club might do so if it was planning to release the player after the draft anyway, and the club is hoping some fool might be willing to shell out $12,000 (or maybe even just $4,000) to take the player off the club's hands. (Think of it as a "yard sale").
For example, it's possible that the Cubs will choose to make Peoria RHP Julio Castillo (indicted for felonious assault with a deadly weapon after throwing a baseball at a fan in Dayton this past season) available for selection in the 2008 Rule 5 Draft for $4,000 off the Peoria roster (even though Castillo otherwise isn't eligible for the draft for the first time until after next season), since the Cubs do not have a minor league club in the Ohio State Prison League (at this time).

While I have no special insight into what the Cubs might choose to do, I suspect that RHP Mitch Atkins, 2B Nate Spears, and LHP Donald Veal are virtual locks to be added to the 40-man roster by this Thursday, with RHP Justin Berg, RHP Jesse Estrada, and LHP J. R. Mathes "on the bubble."
The Cubs presently have eight open slots on their MLB Reserve List (AKA 40-man roster), so they could select as many as eight players to be added if they so desire, but I suspect GM Jim Hendry will want to keep three or four slots open for any MLB free-agents (RF, SP, C) he may sign in the days and weeks ahead.
Note that the Cubs have lost players in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft in each of the past six drafts, starting with 1B-OFJason Dubois to TOR in 2002, and then RHP Jason Szuminski to SD in 2003, LHP Andy Sisco to KC and LHP Luke Hagerty to BAL (subsequently traded to FLA by BAL) in 2004, RHP Juan Mateo to STL in 2005, LHP Edward Campusano to MIL (subsequently traded to DET by MIL), RHP Lincoln Holdzkom to HOU, and INF Jason Smith (signed as a minor league FA a month prior to the draft) to TOR in 2006 and RHP Randy Wells to TOR last year, and the Cubs ended up getting all of them back except Sisco and Smith, so I doubt that Jim Hendry is sweating this decision very much. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't delegate the job to Player Development Director Oneri Fleita and/or Assistant GM Randy Bush.
Re: The Big Freeze
Hi, Phil. Great stuff, as always. One name that I have not heard about for quite awhile is Dumas Garcia, the mystery man. Is he still with the Cubs? If so, I would imagine that he would be headed for Iowa soon?
Re: The Big Freeze
Thanks AZ Phil! Who do you think is "Cub most Likely to be taken in Rule 5 draft?", assuming they add to the 40-man as you say.
Isn't Garcia a Minor League FA?
You're right about not sweating it, last I checked we could have Sisco back now if we really wanted him. He made us look bad with that nice rookie year in KC though.
Re: The Big Freeze
Jeremy Affeldt signs with the Giants (was a Red last yr), I wonder if that means the rumor of Howry to the Giants is dead.
Also Ryan Braun was released.
alas, it's the pitching RB from the Royals.
Re: The Big Freeze
probably got their LOOGY...so Howry might still be in play
another article on there says 6 teams have asked about Furcal, A's and Giants are two of them, not sure about the other 4. Furcal expecting something in the 4/40 range.
speaking of Furcal
6 teams interested, Braves might be one of them if they deal Yunel Escobar. One team has already offered 3/39 for him.
Re: The Big Freeze
Damn... I would have loved Affeldt on the Cubs. I am guessing that he will be one of the best deals of this off-season.
Re: The Big Freeze
Beimel vs. Affeldt vs. Ohman
you make the call?
obviously Ohman's not going to be a Cub, but I would think the Cubs might get in on Beimel.
Re: The Big Freeze
Beimel vs. Affeldt vs. Ohman
I would go with Affeldt, And it isn't really close, in my mind.

Peavy rumor mongering continues
Re: Peavy rumor mongering continues
Crazy rumor. Besides being a right-handed hitter, why would the Cubs want Dye at $9.5 million?
Re: Peavy rumor mongering continues
why would the Cubs want Dye at $9.5 million?
Probably because he is quite good.
Are there better options at RF? And for less money?
Re: Peavy rumor mongering continues
Yes, he had a good 2008 season but he bats right-handed. The Cubs want -- and need -- to add a left-handed hitting run producer.
Re: Peavy rumor mongering continues

You said "Besides being a right-handed hitter."
Re: The Big Freeze
Phil, a lot of these guys have mileage, which is why they're Rule 5 candidates--but Jake Muyco has only been a pitcher for one season, and it was a pretty good one at Boise and Peoria. Maybe they'll try to hang on to him for a longer look.
By the way, Steve Clevenger gets a writeup on the Winter Leagues page of mlb.com today for swinging a good bat in the AFL after being promoted from the taxi squad.
Re: The Big Freeze
-but Jake Muyco has only been a pitcher for one season, and it was a pretty good one at Boise and Peoria.
all the more reason to not waste a 40-man spot on him, his chances of sticking with a big league club for the entire 2009 season are even less than his chances to be picked in the Rule 5 draft.
Re: The Big Freeze
Yeah, probably he's pretty safe to expose. AZ Phil says he throws hard. Most of these other guys have had a lot of failure.
Re: The Big Freeze
I'm all for Jake Muyco or any of our newly converted pitchers, it's just the percentage of players that stick that are Rule 5 draftees are pretty small. Pretty unlikely that a guy pitching for a year can hack the majors for a full season.
It would be nice to be on the right side of a Josh Hamilton, Johan Santana, Dan Uggla or Roberto Clemente though....
Re: The Big Freeze
We were a small part of the right side of Josh Hamilton. We were the unsuspecting part.
Re: The Big Freeze
I know....would fit the lefty middle of the order outfielder part so well...
ZOMG, you suck Hendry...die, WORST.GM.EVER. He needs to blow up the team...change, like Obama!!!!
Re: The Big Freeze
I just realized that Jody Davis was a rule V draftee. There's a nice prize for the Cubs.
Re: The Big Freeze
a nice pickup indeed...did not know that
Re: The Big Freeze
Great as always. Is there a way of finding out what players are being protected on the Iowa and Tennessee rosters for their respective drafts?

cubs to get 2 nights at the new yankee stadium in april 3-4 exhibition games.
Re: [email protected] april exhibitions
Sweet, Soriano gets a chance to be the first strikeout victim in the new digs.
because nothing else is going on...
"First of all I want to congratulate newly elected President Obama and I am glad he has a passion for college football like so many other Americans," Swofford said in a statement. "For now, our constituencies -- and I know he understands constituencies -- have settled on the current BCS system, which the majority believe is the best system yet to determine a national champion while also maintaining the college football regular season as the best and most meaningful in sports."
really? the majority? because I don't know a lot of folks who like the BCS except the guys getting rich off the TV deal.
Re: because nothing else is going on...
Speaking of random articles about football, Here's a great line from the Yahoo Sports article about McNabb not knowing that NFL games could end in a tie:
Maybe athletes' lack of knowledge about the sports they play is more widespread than we know. (This would explain Joe Morgan.)
Re: because nothing else is going on...
except the guys getting rich off the TV deal.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly the constituency that the BCS guy is referring to. The NCAA, the BCS conferences, and the schools in those conferences (plus Notre Dame theoretically)are who he answers to and those are the entities that rake in all the cash from FOX and soon ESPN. I won't say he doesn't care what you and I think about the BCS, but we're down the priority list a bit. Especially if people keep watching it on TV in it's current format. I'm not a big fan of the current format, but there's quite a long list of things I want my POTUS concentrating on rather than college football.
Re: because nothing else is going on...
As far as money goes, it's not the BCS to blame. If the BCS turned into an 8 or 16 team playoff that rotated the final three games games to the top four bowls then rotated the other 4 or 12 games to the remaining bowls (and bowls that weren't part of the tournament that year could still invite teams that didn't qualify) there would almost undoubtedly be more systemic money. The problem in that scenario is that four or eight teams wouldn't get to play in a bowl, because the playoff teams would be playing multiple games. Despite it being 'all about money' these coaches and these AD's do think it's a good experience for their kids to get to go to Hawaii or Florida and play in a bowl game on national TV. Whether an extra $50K would appease that desire for the 3% or 6% of schools that got hosed in a playoff system is the open question. At this point it doesn't seem that it does.
Interview with Towers
not sure when that interview happened, but says he's focusing on the Cubs. Says they'll have to get a third team involved or possibly more...
"Jim Hendry is a great guy to work with..."
"couple pieces that are attractive to us but we're going to have to find 2 or 3 other pieces from other ballclubs...."
"Jake could very well be our Opening Day Starter...if the right deal doesn't present itself we'll start the season with him."
"any deal will not be perceived as a good deal..."
"...take more time than we originally thought"
hasn't talked with Angels and very little with Brian Cashmen
Re: Interview with Towers
"any deal will not be perceived as a good deal..."
wonder if that implies a less than active market for peavy, there's some kind of impact on his value to deal with (such as health), or SD is looking guys so young that the fan base wouldn't be pleased they're not getting an 09-ready star.
Re: Interview with Towers
they won't be getting any major league "names" so they don't expect the fan base to be excited by it. And the Cubs are the only team they're talking to right now, other than whomever Hendry is trying to get involved to finish the deal.
Re: Interview with Towers
Re: Interview with Towers
No worries, some dude over at MLBTraderumors has this all worked out. 3 team deal. Cubs give up: cedeno, pie, hill, vitters, veal, hart, and Dlee for Peavy.
SD gets all those players, except Lee, plus a 'good RHP/LHP' plus a 'decent' SS/2B/OF from the 3rd team.
3rd team gets Lee.
Why hasn't Hendry figured this out already? It's brilliant.
Re: Interview with Towers
Um, no thanks ChiTownCubbies. Ripoff for both the Cubs and the third team. The Cubs get Peavy, lose their backup shortstop, best outfield prospect, best hitting prospect, two high ceiling lefties, depth at starting pitcher, and their starting first baseman. 3rd team loses a good pitcher and a good middle infielder, only gets a high-paid defensive minded first baseman in return. Padres make out like bandits, dumping salary and getting all sorts of depth and a few pretty good prospects.
I love the random some-third-team that wants high salary defensive minded third baseman and has good middle infield and starting pitching prospects/major league ready talent to spare. Where is that team, and why does Derek Lee want to waive his no trade clause to go there?
Re: Interview with Towers
Interesting. I have to think that Vitters isn't part of the deal, because if Towers could get a package of Vitters, and say, Pie, and Marshall, that should be a pretty decent deal for them. The fact that the Cubs' offer is clearly not enough so as to involve another team makes me think Vitters is (probably the only player to be) off the table.
Hey Chad! Check with your source guy dude.
Forgot to mention
on XM this morning, Randy Bush said they still want to resign Ryan Dempster but Randy Johnson would be a great fallback.
Re: Forgot to mention
I would love to have them both and then just not worry too much about getting the lefty bat until mid-season, if it is still a priority.
(Marquis, Marshall, Samardzija, Gaudin, Hill, Atkins)
I figure Marquis and Marshall (I'd try to trade Marquis's contract anyway) would both get some starts filling in for Harden and Johnson, but if healthy (familiar words) that is a disgusting four man rotation (with either Lilly or Dempster getting shifted to the bullpen). Then again, maybe I shouldn't worry about a 4-man rotation until at least July.
I also think that Marshall could be an above average reliever and that Veal could be a loogy sometime soon--plenty of young pitchers to keep the bullpen respectably effective.
Re: Forgot to mention
That's not a bad idea. Adding on to that, maybe 300 more PA's from Pie and/or Fukudome will convice us that one of them is going to be good enough to play, if not, hopefully some of our prospects will step up and become more attractive. If we go into the ST with a rotation of Zambrano, Lilly, Dempster, Harden, Johnson - I'd be pretty confident we'll need Marquis before the end of May (if not for the 8th game of the year).
*Edit - vote against counting on Veal for anything.
Re: Forgot to mention
can't see the Cubs getting 2 starting pitchers AND keeping Marquis
just can't see them going into spring training where he would have to earn a job, more likely where he would have to really fuck up to lose a job.
I'm fine with it myself, but at nearly $10M, I don't see the funds to let that happen.
I'd be more than thrilled with Z, Dempster, Harden, Lilly, Johnson as a rotation, trade Marquis (for anything), sign someone like Lieber again and then roll with Marshall, Hill, Atkins, Gaudin, Samardzija, Wells as the backups
Re: Forgot to mention
Marquis went into ST last year having to earn a job, and he was owed two years' contract. Johnson would, essentially, be a better version of Lieber.
Re: Forgot to mention
yeah, I guess...I forgot about the Rich Hill fiasco and that Hill was supposedly a lock for the spot.
I mean, technically it was between him, Dempster, Marshall and Lieber for 2 spots with Z, Lilly and Hill supposedly locked. HIll shit his pants and Dempster took it pretty easily. I guess it would have been interesting if Hill did something in ST.
Carry on...Marquis for the PEN!!
Re: Forgot to mention
"*Edit - vote against counting on Veal for anything."
Actually, I agree. I didn't mean to indicate that Veal would be counted on to produce, just that he could pop up as the second lefty in the bullpen (after Marshall). Hill could also do this, if he bandages 2/3 of his brain back together.
I don't know that I'd say "need" Marquis, though. With Marshall, Samninja, Guadin, etc., Marquis is pretty expendable (although probably better than the alternatives). Only problem there is moving Marshall from bullpen to rotation in case of injury would mean no lefty reliever (unless Hill, Veal, or Piggy steps up).
Re: Forgot to mention
Also, Fontenot could be a lefty bat. Probably not middle of the order, but 2nd or 7th are reasonable and 6th is not out of the question. DeRo would move to RF. I guess if the season started tomorrow, that's how it would go down, no?
Re: The Big Freeze
In response to the Randy Johnson comment....whats a better version of Lieber?
Re: The Big Freeze
"whats a better version of Lieber?"
Not Lieber.
Re: The Big Freeze
Lieber wasn't active long enough under perform much.
Re: The Big Freeze
Well there's a chance that the same thing will happen with Johnson.
Better version of Leiber in that you bring him in to build depth, but you don't necessarily count on him. He gets paid moer than Leiber and has a higher upside than Leiber - thus better.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
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.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Olympus VR370 16MP, 12.5x wide Angle Optical/4x Digital Zoom Digital Camera
Olympus Optical/4x Digital Zoom Camera Takes Great Pictures for Less If you like the portability of smart phones but not the picture quality, consider an Olympus VR370 16mp 12.5x wide-angle optical/4x digital camera for your photography needs. The average smart phone only provides around a 4-6 megapixel resolution for pictures, which can cause them to blur or pixelate when you crop and zoom. With 16mp, you can take crisp images that keep their quality even with extensive editing and resizing. With the Olympus optical/4x digital zoom camera , you get a built-in 4x zoom and a wide-angle lens so you can take excellent close-ups and easily zoom in on middle-distance subjects. Built-in filters allow you to set the effects that you want inside the camera, significantly reducing editing time later. At the same time, image stabilization and shadow adjustment ensure you get great pictures even in low light or without a tripod. Flip to video mode to record clips in 720p HD for those times when you need to capture more than just one moment.
- The Olympus VR370 16mp 12.5x wide-angle optical/4x digital camera offers considerably better resolution than most smart phone cameras for better picture quality and flexibility
- No need for a tripod; built-in image stabilization lets you point and shoot for crystal-clear images
- Shoots video with 720p HD resolution for high-quality home videos in a snap
- Uses face detection to avoid halo effects and other similar issues with portraits and group photos
- Add extra memory with an SD card (sold separately) so you can store hundreds of pictures before uploading them to a computer or other storage device

text: Stetson Improves to 4-0 in A-Sun With Mercer Win March 24, 2013 MACON, Ga. – The Stetson women's tennis team (9-5, 4-0) won its fourth straight Atlantic Sun Conference match to start league play, defeating Mercer (4-10, 0-3) by a score of 6-1 on Saturday afternoon in Macon. The only thing that prevented the Hatters' from recording their sixth sweep of the season was an injury. Junior Lindsey Cable was forced to retire at Kennesaw State on Friday, while both her doubles and singles matches were defaulted on Saturday. Stetson won both of the other doubles contests against the Bears, as junior Diana Bukajeva and senior Jen Miller won 8-1 at number two doubles to start things off. Freshman Andrea Crespo and senior Sara Lazarevic then won 8-2 at the number one position to earn Stetson the first points of the match. After the defaulted match at number six tied it up at 1-1, the Hatters won the final five singles tilts, to leave Macon with the 6-1 victory. None of the five competing Stetson players lost a set, as Bukajeva finished first with a 6-1, 6-1 win at number three to give her team a 2-1 lead. Miller followed with a 6-1, 6-0 victory at number four, and Crespo won 6-2, 6-3 to clinch the victory for the Hatters. Lazarevic had a tough 7-6 first set win before cruising 6-0 in set number two. Freshman Eveline Lepinay finished up play with a 6-0, 6-2 victory at number five. "We had a very successful weekend," Stetson assistant coach Christophe Noblet said. "Getting two wins on the road is never an easy task. The team is improving match by match, which is promising for the important upcoming conference contests." Stetson will now return home to host East Tennessee State on Thursday, March 28. The Hatters and the Bucs will begin at 4:00 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

This New Year's Eve, welcome in 2013 at Miners Foundry Cultural Center with a dance party featuring Jelly Bread, one of the hottest funk, R&B, and roots bands in Northern California and Nevada, and local all-star rock group Achilles Wheel.
Jelly Bread, emerging out of Reno, is a tour de force of full frontal funk, thoroughly steeped in a Rock-Americana style, with a dash of rollicking indie alt-rock radio appeal.
The band is fronted by award winning songwriter and lap steel player, Dave Berry, and vocalist and beast of drummer, Cliff Porter. The group's ability to meld the elements of a high desert twang and Oakland funk and rock through musical alchemy produces a chameleonic play list highlighted by dual vocals that bounce between native chanting at a bluegrass barbecue and a gospel singer fronting a rock band at a Sunday morning service.
The band's influences range from the likes of Stevie Wonder, James Brown & Parliament Funkadelic to the reaches of modern contemporaries like Robert Randolph, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Ben Harper and the John Butler Trio.
The group is coming off of a series of much talked about performances that included the Strawberry Music Festival and Railroad Earth's Hangtown Halloween Ball. They have also shared the stage with Soulive, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, G Love and Special Sauce, Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Roy Rogers and The Delta Rythm Kings, Rusted Root, and jamming with Jonny Lang, Jelly Bread has marked more than 350 shows under its belts in its short three year history.
Local musicians, Achilles Wheel. is ready to rock after the weather sidelined their show near stateline last weekend. The jam band offers local flavor with their high-energy fusion of World and American music played on numerous stringed instruments and a whole truckload of drums. Featuring the singing/songwriting and guitar playing of Paul Kamm and Jonny Mojo, this up and coming group came together in the wake of other projects including The DeadBeats, Buck Love and The HumperHeads, The Jonny Mojo Trio, D'arcana, Collage of I, Euthanasia, and Dead Ahead. The rhythm section of the band is Gary Campus and Mark McCartney on drums and Shelby Snow on bass.
Food will be available for purchase along with a no host full bar.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door and $35 for limited reserve seating. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to www.minersfoundry.com.

The Virtual Kinetics of Materials Laboratory (VKML) is a web environment to develop microstructural evolution models by using FiPy, a powerful set of python-based libraries to write Partial Differential Equations. A basic set of examples is provided to simulate: a) the electrochemical transport kinetics of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries; b) simple diffusion and spinodal decomposition problems; c) Symbolic Thermodynamics using the Gibbs infrastructure; and d) basic examples to learn how to write a program with a simple GUI. Each example can be readily edited, debugged, and run online. The developed interface also provides a TKInter-based GUI, which enables the user to rapidly prototype flexible interfaces with sliders, menus, and buttons.

Few plays in hockey draw a bigger reaction than a glove save. There's just something about the big leather mitt snatching a puck out of midair that gets fans and players going.
Jhonas Enroth's glove has been hot all week. He hasn't been shy about showing it off.
The Buffalo Sabres' backup goaltender brazenly waved the leather back and forth after several stellar catches in training camp, demonstrating to the shooters who had the edge.
"It was pretty funny," Enroth said Wednesday. "Guys were giving me a little [grief] after, but it was a good glove day, for sure.
"I've been here for a couple years, and I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable with stuff like that. Outside the rink, too, I'm more comfortable after being here for a while now. I'm starting to feel more at home."
While he's more comfortable in Buffalo, he knows he shouldn't get too accustomed to being in the crease. Coach Lindy Ruff has already penciled in Ryan Miller for about 38 of the team's 48 games.
Enroth watched most of last season from the bench, too, especially after Miller got hot. Enroth made just three starts from Jan. 19 to the season finale April 7. He made 22 starts in 26 appearances, going 8-11-4.
This season will be a little different, though. The schedule is compressed, and no one should benefit more in Buffalo than Enroth. Even if Miller starts four of every five games, Enroth will be idle only seven to 10 days rather than the two or three weeks he'd sit in a normal calendar.
"It's a lot of games in a short period of time, so it's good for me, I guess," he said. "I'm excited to start playing games again."
Enroth went home to Sweden during the lockout and signed with a team in the country's second division. He played 12 games, including one that he'd rather forget. He and his Almtuna teammates hopped on the bus early on a Sunday morning, rode for eight hours, suffered a 4-1 loss and came all the way back home.
"It was a bad day for us," the 24-year-old said.
He had a few with Buffalo. While he improved his goals-against average (2.70) and save percentage (.917) from the previous season, he went 0-8-3 in his last 11 decisions. That won't cut it this year, especially if he gets only a dozen starts or so.
"We're going to have to use both guys, and both guys are going to have to win us games," Ruff said. "We know when we're starting to play the heavy parts of the schedule your goaltender needs a break. You can ride him, but what a luxury if Jhonas can step in and win games for us."
Said Miller: "I like where his game's at. I think he's done a good job making adjustments. It's good to have him as a partner. If the two of us get going on the type of games we can play, I think we can hold the fort."
The Sabres have changed their camp schedule and will take today off. They'll finish with practices from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The public is welcome to both.
The day off coincides with the last waiver period before final rosters must be submitted. The Sabres have 26 players in camp and must get down to 23 before 3 p.m. Friday. Waivers begin at noon and last 24 hours.
Though they've participated fully in practice, it's possible the Sabres could place forwards Nathan Gerbe (back) and Cody McCormick (finger) on injured reserve. If so, they'd have to waive only one player in an attempt to send him to Rochester. That would be only a temporary fix, however, since the return of both seems imminent.
Nearly everyone on the roster would need to clear waivers in order to be sent to Rochester. Several Amerks, including Kevin Porter and Nick Tarnasky, also must go through the waiver process because they're on NHL contracts.
"We have guys to make decisions on," said Miller, whose team is carrying 15 forwards, nine defensemen and two goalies. "With that amount of talent, there are some guys in my mind — maybe I shouldn't even say it because it could spark somebody's interest — but waivers becomes an issue for some of our guys, so it's going to be interesting to see what decisions are being made.
"We have a lot of talent here. Everybody in this room can contribute and play a part. It should be interesting."
The Sabres could send 18-year-old center Mikhail Grigorenko to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but that seems like a long shot. He's spent the entire week between veteran wingers Steve Ott and Ville Leino, so the Sabres are probably going to give him a five-game tryout before deciding his future.
"It really is the toughest question to answer," Ruff said. "I just know if we feel he's ready to help us win, we'll use those games. We'll make that decision at the end of the week. If we feel he's ready, that he can help us win hockey games, he'll in all likelihood be there."

WASHINGTON – The FBI and the CIA helped capture an alleged al-Qaida spokesman who was Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and have flown him to New York City to face terrorism-related charges, U.S. officials said.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was taken into U.S. custody in Jordan, where he was stopped while being deported from Turkey to Kuwait, his native country, under a scheme orchestrated by U.S. authorities. He is believed to have spent most of the last decade in Iran.
Abu Ghaith has been providing information to U.S. interrogators since his arrest, said a former U.S. official who was briefed on the case.
A federal indictment unsealed Thursday accuses Abu Ghaith of conspiracy to kill Americans, among other charges. It alleges that he "served alongside" bin Laden from May 2001 through part of 2002 and appeared on videos to praise the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States and threaten further assaults.
"This arrest sends an unmistakable message: There is no corner of the world where you can escape from justice," Attorney General. Eric H. Holder Jr. said in announcing the indictment.
Abu Ghaith, 48, is scheduled to be arraigned today before U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in New York City. If convicted, he could face life in prison without parole.
His case is notable because he is only the second al-Qaida militant known to be captured overseas and brought to the United States for trial under the Obama administration, rather than be killed by a CIA or military drone strike. The first, a Somali, was interrogated for two months aboard a Navy ship off the coast of Africa before he was imprisoned in New York in July 2011 to await trial.
Abu Ghaith, who cemented his ties to bin Laden after marrying his oldest daughter, Fatima, has not played a significant role in al-Qaida in years, a U.S. official said.
In May 2001, according to the indictment, Abu Ghaith urged individuals at a guesthouse in Kandahar, Afghanistan, to swear "bayat," or allegiance, to bin Laden. After 9/11, he was summoned by bin Laden and agreed to provide further assistance. The next morning, he appeared with bin Laden and others in a video and spoke on behalf of al-Qaida.
He warned the United States that a "great army is gathering upon you" and that the "nation of Islam" would fight "the Jews, the Christians and the Americans."
In another video, which appeared Oct. 10, 2001, he praised the 9/11 terrorists who hijacked four jetliners and vowed more attacks would follow. "Americans should know the storm of the planes will not stop," he said. "There are thousands of the Islamic nation's youths who are eager to die, just as the Americans are eager to live."
Such statements, plus his membership in al-Qaida, are enough to establish involvement in a conspiracy under U.S. law, said Ali Soufan, a former senior FBI agent who worked on terrorism cases.
"He's a senior al-Qaida figure; there's no question about that," said Seth Jones, a counterterrorism analyst at RAND Corp., a nonpartisan research group. He was a member of the terrorist network's management council, Jones said.
The Kuwaiti government stripped Abu Ghaith of his citizenship after the videos appeared. He later spent years under a form of house arrest in Iran, a U.S. official said.
Turkish media reported that he entered Turkey in January and was detained at the request of U.S. authorities, but then was set free because he had committed no crime in Turkey. He was later rearrested at a luxury hotel in Ankara for his deportation, the reports said.
Rep. Peter T. King, R-N.Y., former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, credited the CIA and FBI with catching the al-Qaida propagandist.
"Definitely, one by one, we are getting the top echelons of al-Qaida," King said. "I give the administration credit for this: It's steady, and it's unrelenting, and it's very successful."
But the case also provided fresh fodder for a long-running debate over how terrorism suspects should be treated, where they should be incarcerated and how their cases should be adjudicated.
"We should treat enemy combatants like the enemy – the U.S. court system is not the appropriate venue," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement. "The president needs to send any captured al-Qaida members to Guantanamo."
"If this man, the spokesman of 9/11, isn't an enemy combatant, who is?" Sen. Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., told reporters. He "should be going to Gitmo. He should be kept there and questioned."
Human rights activists strongly disagreed. "Our nation's track record of successfully prosecuting alleged terrorists in federal court is second to none," said Raha Wala, a lawyer at Human Rights First.

Amazingly, THIS is supposed to be serious:
Earlier this year, Jeb Bush told ABC that both his father George H.W. Bush, and brother George W. recommended he run for president in 2016. Mama Barbara Bush is not keen on the idea, declaring in April that �the nation�s probably had enough Bushes.�
But in the constantly shifting equations of potential Republican hopefuls for future president and vice president, the former Florida governor�s name has been tied with another former governor: Sarah Palin.
The pair have now been framed as a �the GOP�s only chance� in the race by American Thinker contributor ...
