Hi, I am trying to compute the coefficient of a polynomial as follows:
However, Maple complains that it cannot compute the coefficient, which is clearly not zero. Does anyone have any suggestions? I wonder under what circumstances would Maple decide that it cannot compute the coefficient of a polynomial? (I tried a simpler expression involving r^(-1) and it worked.) It is utterly important that Maple picked up the coefficient in my algorithm. Thank you for your insight.

BEDFORD - For 40 years, Ned J. Marrow, 91, rode the rails as a freight train conductor, but on Saturday he was in Bedford to do a little train watching.
The pertinent word here is "little," as the Bedford Model Railroaders held its annual N Scale Model Train Display & Show at the ProCare Sportsplex, situated between Bedford and Everett.
Marrow, of Corning, N.Y., said he got into model railroading five or six years ago through a friend and made the trip with his local model railroading club.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec / Ned J. Marrow of Corning, N.Y., looks over some model train displays during the Bedford Model Railroaders' N Scale Model Train Display & Show at the ProCare Sportsplex on Saturday. Marrow worked as a brakeman and freight train conductor for 40 years with New York Central Railroad, which later became Penn Central and then Conrail.
"I like to see the cars run," Marrow said. "Especially the freight trains."
Watching the trains reminds him of his time working as a conductor for freight trains that ran between Williamsport and Corning, through the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, Marrow said.
Starting as a brakeman for the New York Central Railroad in 1946 after serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II, Marrow went on to become a conductor during
a career that spanned four decades.
He saw the railroad go from steam to diesel power and the New York Central become Penn Central and then Conrail before he retired in 1986.
"I kind of miss it," Marrow said.
"We have a blast with this," said Mike Phillips, who along with some other area N scale train enthusiasts started the event as a simple weekend to share their love of the diminutive model trains, ones that are about half the size of HO trains.
"It's not your regular train show," said Phillips, who noted that as opposed to other shows, the Bedford show is strictly N scale. Now in its 10th year, two dozen dealers, 13 clubs and hundreds of people gathered Saturday to show off and check out each other's layouts, engines and rolling stock.
The goal of the weekend is for enthusiasts to get together and have some fun, Phillips said.
Dean Brenner, 69, of Lancaster County was at the show Saturday, manning the layout of his club, Penn Scalers. Brenner said he had been into HO scale railroading when a friend wanted to show him his new N scale train in the early '90s.
"I was skeptical," Brenner said, adding that after seeing how he could do more with less space than with an HO train, he converted.
But what's a train layout without houses, buildings, roads, bridges, lakes and streams. Layouts featured this weekend include everything from country settings with rolling hills and farmland to stockyards bustling with activity to even a massive warehouse fire besieged by firefighters, complete with flashing lights.
Building kits produced by Dave Capener of Waldwick, N.J., of Bergen National Laser showed the level of realism sought by enthusiasts. The Manhattan watchmaker said his Internet-based side business, producing museum-quality buildings using laser-cut wood with scaled-down brick, rock and shingle textures, grew from his love of trains that he had as a kid.
"I love the trains. I love the architecture," Capener said. "I try to create an emotional feel for it."
The Bedford Model Railroaders N Scale weekend runs through 3 p.m. today.

Perkins Plaza dedication to be held Oct. 19
Penn State Berks will hold a dedication ceremony for its recently constructed Perkins Plaza on Friday, Oct. 19, 2012, at 1 p.m. The event will begin with a brief program featuring remarks by Perkins family members, campus officials, and members of the architectural and construction firms. This event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served.
With construction completed in the summer of 2012, the Perkins Plaza honors the memory of Dr. Harold W. Perkins, the first campus CEO, and also provides a beautiful gathering place for students, faculty, staff, and community members.
According to Chief Operating Officer Kim Berry, the project includes a central paved plaza, a pergola, seating walls, a fountain sculpture, and a clock carillon–a longtime dream of Perkins. The existing asphalt walkways have been replaced with concrete walkways, which also address ADA issues. The existing lighting has been replaced with energy-efficient LED technology, and general landscaping has been added throughout the campus core to create a central green space to accommodate events. Together, these elements create a vibrant outdoor social gathering space.
The Plaza was designed by Derck & Edson Associates, LLP and construction was completed by Uhrig Construction, Inc.
Dr. Harold W. Perkins served as CEO of Penn State Berks from 1959-1984 and was instrumental in laying the foundation for the campus. He helped the school grow from its small beginnings in the Wyomissing Polytechnic Institute buildings to a new, expanded campus location, where the college stands today.
The Student Center was named in his honor shortly after he stepped down in 1984, and though he officially "retired," his passionate involvement with the campus never ended. He continued to serve in many capacities, most recently as the honorary chair of For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, which he continued until his passing in October 2010.
For more information on the event or ways to contribute to the Perkins Plaza, contact the Office of Development at 610-396-6056.

Another try for Charlie Frye.
The former Cleveland Browns and University of Akron quarterback has signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders, as reported by Steve Corkran for the Contra Costa Times.
Writes Corkran:
The Browns gave up on Frye, a third-round selection in the 2005 NFL draft, after only one game in 2007 and turned over the reins to Derek Anderson.
Frye holds the ignominious distinction of being the only quarterback in league history who began the season as the starter and was traded after one game.
Trade!: Here's a report on the Browns' Sept. 11, 2007 trade of Frye, by The Plain Dealer's Tony Grossi and Mary Kay Cabot.
Frye's finale: Tony Grossi's game story on Frye's final game as a Brown is here.
Wrote Grossi:
Frye suffered a drop from receiver Joe Jurevicius on his first pass, was sacked on his third snap from center and was intercepted on his second pass.
On Frye's fourth series, new feature back Jamal Lewis lost the ball on a hit by Farrior. Roethlisberger responded by freezing the Browns' safeties with a play-fake and connecting from 40 yards with Holmes for a touchdown.
That made it 17-0 before the first quarter ended.

The family that founded and still runs the French National Front was plunged deeper into discord yesterday after revelations that its patriarch is being investigated by police for corruption as he accused his daughter of stabbing him in the back.
The attack left the dynasty embroiled in a web of distrust that is threatening to become a political crisis for the ultra-right movement headed by Marine Le Pen. She has been accused by Jean-Marie Le Pen, her father, of seeking to freeze him out of the party he founded in 1972 as she courts the centre ground in an effort

Last week, the legendary Kenny Rogers visited The Bobby Bones Show. In addition to discussing his new song with Dolly Parton, "You Can't Make Old Friends," the title track of his album, Rogers discussed his friendship with Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, his party years, the current state of music, and his advice for handling fame, which is fitting since it appears some of the stars of the younger generation aren't really handling it well…right…em…Miley?
"…I look at Lindsay Lohan out there…what happens is, the big fear in this business is not being recognized…look at Miley Cyrus and what she's doing now. Is it going to work? It's going to get her some press. In LA, any press is good press. They're talking about it. Not for me. I don't need that kind of stuff and I think it's a sad mistake. And I think people have to be careful. You have to live with it, more so now than ever before. Anything you do now is going to be around forever. It's just dangerous."
He's right. Unlike when we were growing-up, I think some of these young folks don't realize the magnitude of things being "out there" forever. As in, thank you internet for allowing me to relive my awful choices and poor fashion sense over and over again.
As for Kenny, he realizes that he can't compete with everyone…just being himself is plenty.
There's only two ways I can compete. I can do what everybody else is doing and do it better. And I don't like my chances of doing that. Or I can do something nobody else is doing and you don't invite comparison…So I've always kinda been outside the box cause I can't do the things Keith Urban does or Taylor Swift or those guys, so I just have to do what I do."
I think more people need to just stick to what they do in stead of trying to keep up with everyone else. Otherwise we end up with a bunch of the same thing and no variety at all.

Weimar Classicism is one of the more disputed periods of literary history. The distinction of also possessing a classical period was first arrogated for German literature in the nineteenth century under the pressure of strong national feeling. German classicism purportedly extended from Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) to the death of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), including some seventy years of literary production. Of course, this was a stretch by any precise definition of classicism, and the assertion of a German Classicism of this kind won no international recognition. Matters were further complicated by the fact that the putative German Classicism coincided with a succession of acknowledged European and German literary …

Our View: See what delights await in western Erie County
Legendary newspaper editor Horace Greeley is remembered for this famous quote encouraging exploration of the American frontier: "Go West, young man."
Greeley, founder of the New York Tribune, didn't have many kind words about Erie when he left here after working as a journeyman printer at the Erie Gazette in 1830 and 1831. He complained about our weather, criticized Erie's passionate embrace of politics and once wrote that people should "let Erie be avoided until grass grows in her streets."
If only Greeley could see Erie now, maybe he'd appreciate western Erie County, known for its rural setting and community efforts to preserve local history. Three of the 15 trails on the Erie County Recreational Passport give you a sample of the best that the west has to offer.
Visit www.letsmoveoutside.org to download a passport and to learn more about this countywide initiative to encourage Erie residents to hike for their health and to discover parks and museums close to home.
The western destinations in the passport program include the Greenway Trail at Asbury Woods, where you'll travel through meadows and forest. The Girard Trail, in contrast, has 28 stops on its 3.5-mile route, but the historic sites are close enough that you won't feel overwhelmed. Take time to read about well-known local legends such as circus man Dan Rice. You can also stroll along part of the path of the Erie Extension Canal and view Girard Manufacturing Co., former home to Marx Toys. The Albion Trail takes you through the heart of that borough. Like the trails at Asbury Woods, the Pleasant Ridge Park Trail is a perfect place to soak up the scenery. The trail starts at 8271 Barker Road in Fairview Township, on the south side of Route 20 off Dobler Road.
In Fairview, visit the Old Almshouse Cemetery on Blair Road, north of Route 20, where those who died alone and destitute are buried. Their stories are part of our past, too.

Women who have had an IUI or intrauterine insemination would have several fears in their mind. IUI may not always be successful in women and the distress, going through the procedure and the endless wait to find out whether you are pregnant or not can be very daunting for a woman who has been trying to conceive for long. While you need to keep an optimistic mind after an IUI, there are also factors that you can check out to find if you are indeed pregnant and what to expect in the days after an IUI. Some of the signs of pregnancy after an IUI could be contradictory to a normal pregnancy and hence very scary and misleading.
Signs Of Pregnancy After An IntraUterine Insemination
The most early and misleading sign of pregnancy after an intra uterine insemination is bleeding that resembles menstruation. While heavy bleeding is definitely a cause for concern, light bleeding is normal after an IUI and would mean that the egg has successfully implanted and you could be pregnant. You must wait for a couple of days to check the progress and what happens in the coming days.
Light abdominal cramping after an IUI would be the implantation pain most women miss as they do not know that they are pregnant at that time. Implantation pain happens when the embryo implants itself inside the uterine wall, making your pregnant.
Light cramping can also be caused due to the IUI procedure itself. Any cramping that is heavy and cause a lot of distress must be taken seriously though and reported to the doctor.
Breast Tenderness and Changes
Tenderness of the breasts is one of the most noticeable symptoms of pregnancy. Breast tenderness is caused due to the hormone changes that happen in the body and most women immediately notice this change which is associated with pregnancy. The areola of the breast becomes darker due to the hormonal action in the body.
Many women experience extreme tiredness and fatigue that comes in the way of their daily activities. Any kind of hormone fluctuation in the body can lead to tiredness and fatigue. This is why pregnancy can lead to tiredness and extreme fatigue in many women.
Aches And Pains
Backache is a common symptom, though it is more pronounced in the later stages of pregnancy. Women also feel frequent headaches as a result of hormonal changes in the body.
Morning Sickness
Morning sickness is a common symptom for all kinds of pregnancies whether normal or artificial. The symptoms and feeling of nausea and vomiting become worse when you have food or strong odors too can trigger them.
Increased Urination
Pregnancy will lead to some pressure on the walls of the bladder, leading to increased urination in pregnant women. This can be due to urinary tract infections as well. If you are visiting the bathroom way too often, it could mean that you are pregnant.

Here is another kind of Christmas story -- the kind where kids don't get presents. They are the presents.
The 15-year-old survivor doesn't want to talk about it. And Stephen Anthony, special agent in charge of the Cleveland FBI, which handled the investigation, though empathetic, avoids specifics: "These are heartbreaking cases in which children are forced into the commercial sex trade."
Our tale begins in the eastern suburb of Wickliffe on Jan. 3, according to a criminal affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland. FBI Agent Charlie Sullivan contacted local authorities for help arresting Ernest McClain, who celebrated his 27th birthday that day. McClain was 6 feet tall and weighed 265 pounds, according to Wickliffe police reports. A convicted drug dealer, he also trafficked in women and children. He used the moniker "Tubbz," according to federal sources.
Wickliffe police knew the name. There had been a couple of anonymous complaints the previous fall about McClain running prostitutes through the local Ramada Inn, said Lt. Pat Hengst, head of the Wickliffe detective bureau. One of the girls allegedly was underage. The cops went out to do a knock-and-talk, but McClain and his stable had moved on.
Now he was back at the Ramada, Sullivan told Wickliffe police, allegedly trafficking a 15-year-old girl as well as 21-year-old Brittany White. He said members of the Ohio Internet Crimes against Children Task Force found ads for the girls posted on backpage.com. A task force agent made a date, hoping it was with the teen ager, Wickliffe police reports noted. But when the feds and the cops knocked on the door of Room 248, White answered. She knew the minor -- called her "Lil Bit" -- but didn't know where she was.
White told investigators McClain would rent a hotel room, drop the girls off and leave. When the "date" was done, he would return and take his 50 percent cut.
When McClain rolled into the Ramada parking lot, the feds arrested him, according to the affidavit. McClain told the cops he knew "Lil Bit," but denied he ever touched the "child," according to a Wickliffe police report.
Meanwhile, "Lil Bit" surfaced at the Westhaven Youth Shelter in Cleveland, the affidavit states. How she found sanctuary is unclear. But her journey was the stuff of nightmares.
The affidavit identifies her as Confidential Witness #1 or CW#1. She confirmed she was 15 years old. She said she had lived in Columbus until August 2011 when she met a guy called Rico in an Internet chat room. She ran away from home to be with him. Turned out Rico was a pimp. He made CW#1 turn tricks in hotels around Columbus.
In late September, CW#1 learned that Rico had been arrested, leaving her adrift. As she strolled around the hotel where she was working, she was approached by McClain. He told her that she could make a lot of money in Cleveland and bought her a Greyhound bus ticket.
She joined a stable that included White and Chardee Barfield, McClain's girlfriend, who worked under the name "Seduction," according to the affidavit. On backpage.com, CW#1 was christened "Msseductive."
She told federal investigators that over approximately a 30-day period, she was forced to have sex, on average, 10 times a day. Hotels. Homes. Day. Night. East. West. South.
CW#1 recalled another incident when she requested a bath after being raped by five or six "clients." McClain and Barfield offered her a Summer's Eve wet wipe and told her to get back to work, the affidavit states.
CW#1 told Sullivan that McClain also forced her to have sex with him when Barfield attended classes at Cleveland State University, where she was studying criminal justice.
An estimated 1,078 Ohio juveniles are trafficked each year, according to a 2010 report from the state attorney general's office. Another 3,016 are considered at risk.
"The statistics that you're citing -- as awful as they are -- undercount the real numbers," said U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach.
Just like rape -- which is exactly what sex with a 15-year-old is.
Barfield, 22, pleaded guilty to charges of sex trafficking a minor. She was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison by U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster on Nov. 29. McClain pleaded guilty to three sex-related charges, including transportation of a minor to engage in prostitution. On Nov. 31, Polster sentenced him to 20 years behind bars.
Merry Christmas, CW#1.

Safety Edward Paris Jr., the No. 9 overall player according to 247Sports.com, committed to LSU on Monday.
Paris had his choice of destinations, but the Mansfield (Texas) Timberview prospect chose LSU over Texas and Florida and a host of other schools.
He said that LSU coach Les Miles was a big reason for his commitment.
"He's hard on every player of his and every recruit," Paris told 247Sports.com. "He doesn't tell recruits what they want to hear. He tells them what they need to hear, and I respect that a lot."
More: Alabama, LSU offer 8th-grader
The 6-1, 190-pound Paris is originally from New Orleans, but left the city after Hurricane Katrina.
He is the No. 2 safety and a 5-star prospect behind Quin Blanding, who is expected to announce his college choice Wednesday from a list of 10 finalists.
"It's always felt like home," Paris said of LSU. "It's an amazing life and an amazing fan base. I want to the Alabama game and that was a game they lost. Even after the game the fans were still in the stands and still there for the players and coaches. I like how they are with the team through thick and think. I like that a lot about that place. It's real special."
LSU has six commitments for 2014 and Paris is the second safety to commit to the Tigers, joining Devin Voorhies from Woodville, Miss.

The notion of Charleston eaters doting on a peculiar Southern food tradition isn't too far out, but Mathias Hickman and Eric Martin knew their pepperoni rolls were a success when they served them in their native West Virginia.
"Down here, people tell us they taste good, but when you go to the hometown of pepperoni rolls and people tell you they taste good, it means a lot," says Hickman of Pep Rolls, a 5-month-old local baking operation that recently acquired a food cart and approval to sell its single product wholesale.
Although a proposal to bestow official West Virginia state food status on the pepperoni roll last year died in committee, the lack of legislative sanction hasn't deterred the snack's fans from daily gobbling down tens of thousands of the "soft, warm bread infused with flavor from the freshly cut, delicately seasoned pepperoni," as House Concurrent Resolution No. 84 put it. A remnant of coal mining culture, the roll was invented in the 1920s by an Italian baker who realized he could combine the two standard elements of a miner's lunch into a handy, stand-alone concoction.
"We always tell everybody, if you know anyone from West Virginia, throw them our card and they'll go crazy," Hickman says.
Hickman, 28, and Martin, 25, last summer moved to Charleston with vague plans to start a business. "We hadn't really decided what to do, until we saw the need for pepperoni rolls," Hickman says.
In West Virginia, around convenience store microwaves and in front doughnut shop display cases, debates rage over the correct number of pepperoni sticks in a roll, whether sliced pepperoni and cheese are acceptable innovations, the suitability of various condiments to the roll, and what size and spice level are ideal. Before Hickman and Martin could take a position on those essential matters, though, they had to figure out the basics of roll-baking.
"We've always cooked a lot, but neither of us had prior baking experience," Hickman says. "So we basically grabbed the first generic Italian bread recipe we could find. They were awful."
After the first failed experiment, the West Virginia University grads consulted "a bunch of books about the complexity of gluten." They eventually came up with a roll so reflective of state standards that fellow Charleston-based Mountaineers started ordering them for their events.
"A lot of people just really enjoy this food," Hickman says.
Pep Rolls currently parks its cart at Charleston Scooter Company, 844 Savannah Highway, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursdays. It also makes appearances at breweries and various events. For schedule updates or ordering information, check the company's Facebook page or call 732-3456.

|The Sludge Economy | 2010
If we think about the city as an extension of the human body, then infrastructure like wastewater treatment is part of a natural cycle of "input and output". However the geography and economy of waste are much removed from out actual bodies. The Sludge Economy makes more visible the infrastructure of human waste –specifially sewage treatment plants; and the social, environmental, and racial justice issues that are sometimes equally as invisible as the physical infrastructure.
A newsprint pamphlet outlines a sewage chronology and related social justice issues in two neighborhoods burdened by sewage treatment
plants. I also held a public event titled This Picnic Stinks! in the Riverbank State Park which sits atop the North River wastewater treatment plant
in Harlem, New York City. This potluck picnic included a talk by me and Jaime Stein (formerly the environmental policy analyst at Sustainable South
Bronx) about New York City's sludge economy. A cake printed with locations of sewage plants was a visual aid and dessert.

Some small businesses owners said they are on edge after hearing that the state is looking to get out of the liquor-selling business.
In fact, one local beer distributor said Pa. Gov. Tom Corbett's plan could spell doom for his company.
Tom Derr has been in business for more than 60 years. His beer distributor, West Lawn Beverage Company in Spring Township, Berks Co., is practically a landmark, but he said that may all change.
"Now suddenly, the governor wants to put me out of business," Derr said.
Corbett announced Wednesday in Pittsburgh that he wants to privatize the entire liquor-selling business. That means customers would be able to buy beer, wine and spirits all in one spot, in places like a supermarket or a restaurant.
To keep up with the competition, Derr said he would have to purchase an additional wine and liquor license and pay for costly renovations to hold all the added inventory.
"You're talking close to $1.5 million to $2 million to do this," Derr said. "Where am I going to dig up that kind of money?"
"Change as we all know is not very easy, but it is the only thing that has ever brought progress," said Corbett.
Over the next four years, the governor said he hopes to raise $1 billion by auctioning off 1,200 wine and liquor licenses. That money would be invested in a block grant for public schools.
Pennsylvania is the only state in the country, other than Utah, still involved in the liquor business.
"It's time for Pennsylvania to lift the rules in place for 75 years because the selling of alcohol is not a core responsibility of government," said Corbett.
Derr is also concerned about the governor's plan because he said, if it goes through, it could put quite a few people at this business out of work.
"This business here supports maybe four or five families," said Derr. "Mortgages, cars, taxes. Close me down, they're going to be out looking for jobs."

The first farm programs, which were enacted during the depths of the depression, were designed to reduce the supplies of grain, cotton and meat that began to build up across the United States when demand plummeted at the beginning of the great Depression. The lack of demand meant that farmers received only a small fraction of the prices they had enjoyed during World War I and for a short time in the 1920s. The first farm bill, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, attempted to restore farm prices to a level of parity with farmers received during the period between 1910 and 1914. This term, parity, remained in the legislation until the most recent law, the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008.
Under the parity formula in the early farm bills, farmers could place their crops in storage and request a loan from the government-owned Commodity Credit Corporation in exchange for holding them off the market. The loan rates, which varied by crop, were set high in the early years to help producers pay for input costs and make land payments to stay on their land. In more recent times, Congress has tended to reduce the loan rates to keep crop surpluses from building in response to high loan proceeds.
Over time, the farm bills, which are enacted every four to five years by Congress, have grown to include a number of provisions so much so that the latest farm bills have totaled hundreds of pages and have taken two years or more for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fully implement. (Observers estimate that 5 percent of the 2008 farm bill provisions have yet to be implemented.) Among the titles in the latest farm bill:
Commodity or farm programs
Rural Development
Crop Insurance
In the Mid-South, drought and record-high temperatures continue to plague farms and ranches. While prayers for prolonged, drenching rains remain unanswered, irrigation costs hammer row-crop producers and ranchers are finding quality hay increasingly difficult to locate even as prices rise. Burn bans are common in the region as officials try to keep wildfires from breaking out.

Costas vs Bonds...pistols ablazin' at 50 paces:
A day after Barry Bonds called him a "little midget man who knows (nothing) about baseball," broadcaster Bob Costas said he wasn't upset with the San Francisco Giants slugger and responded with a jab of his own.
"As anyone can plainly see, I'm 5 foot-6 1/2 inches tall and a strapping 150 lbs, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally," Costas said Thursday in a telephone interview.

But, Derrek Lee steals a foul ball from a fan for the second out. And Duncan taps one to Theriot at SS who throws him out at first.

Over at NSBB there is a post
Over at NSBB there is a post about Kroger and Pie being pulled from the Iowa game and there is some speculation over there that a Pie trade could be in the works:
Wow, they make it sound like
Wow, they make it sound like if Pie/Kroger are traded then we got a solid player, otherwise the other theory is that we traded JJ for someone else and Pie is being brought up to fill the other spot.
BTW, I f'ing HATE the format of those discussion boards, so God Bless Chifan for putting up with that. Good catch as well ...
Apparently Pie and Kroger
Apparently Pie and Kroger were both injured the inning before, hence they were taken out of the game

Piniella said the Cubs aren't in the market for any big-name hitters.

Pie with a sore squad, Kroeger hurt himself on a swing it sounds like.

Uke, I have to agree with
I have to agree with some of the guys over at NSBB that it would seem odd for 2 guys to have mild injuries like this. IF, and I mean IF, Hendry were working on a blockbuster he would probably have said to the AAA manager to come up with some backstory on why you gave them the hook.
they wouldn't pull anybody
they wouldn't pull anybody unless a deal was finalized. And if it's finalized they wouldn't make up a story.
From our wonderful minor league site, Hoffpauir is out for the year and Moore on the DL, hurt his ankle on a slide.
and Iowa was losing 7-1 at
and Iowa was losing 7-1 at the time they were both pulled. That would be the time to pull them.
The D'backs are the new Wild
The D'backs are the new Wild Card leaders. We would have been co-leaders if it wasn't for Marquis who is worse than Estes was in 03. God I cant believe were going to be paying 10 million in 09. Hopefully he pulls a Denny Neagle number.
Penny left the game tonight
Penny left the game tonight with a groin injury. So apparently the Dodgers are trying to be the 85 Cubs. Needless to say if he and Lowe are out for awhile then the Dodgers are done. The Cy Young race looks to be down to a 3 horse bewteen Hamels, Peavy and Z then.
I put the Whammy on Marquis
I put the Whammy on Marquis and Rob G put the Whammy on Theriot. I take full responsibility for the pummelin (but not the loss since we only scored one run).
Marquis who is worse than Estes was in 03.
In Bizzaro Cub Land I guess 8-11 with a 5.17 ERA us better than 7-6 with a 4.20 ERA?
If Marquis goes 1-5 and allows 40 earned runs over the next 30.1 innings, then he would be Estes of 2003. As I recall, Estes threw a complete game shut-out in his last start of the year for that '03 team.
One loss does not a season end.

If I were dating Eliza Dushku I would probably be on the 60 day DL with a groin injury. Dodgers management should put an end to that relationship ASAP.
We need to make another
We need to make another trade like this one.
August 15, 2003: Bobby Hill Sent by the Chicago Cubs to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete an earlier deal made on July 23, 2003. The Chicago Cubs sent a player to be named later, Jose Hernandez, and Matt Bruback (minors) to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Aramis Ramirez, Kenny Lofton, and cash. The Chicago Cubs sent Bobby Hill (August 15, 2003) to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete the trade.
Cedano,Pagan,Jones. = A
Cedano,Pagan,Jones. = A Rod
To Much? Not enough? ahh who am I kidding, The only move we will end up making is swapping Right fielders with the W Sox.
Marquis' splits are pretty
Marquis' splits are pretty interesting. In wins, his ERA is 1.40. In losses, his ERA is 8.02. Either way, his post All-Star numbers are pretty bad, partially because his BAbip has come back to earth. I have a feeling if we make it to the playoffs, he will be the odd man out again, which has gotta suck for him.
Of course, that all depends on Hill, Marshall and Lilly keeping on keeping on.

Comment of the day.
Raise your hand if you
Raise your hand if you thought that in July the Cubs would be playing the Cardinals and having an infield of Fox, Fontenot, Theriot, and Cedeno.
If you would have heard that would happen in July, you would have thought that the Cubs would be 15 games back.

Just looking at team stats
Just looking at team stats this morning and sure enough the Cubs hitters have reverted to form in one prominent category--- taking walks. We rank 15th in the National League after 100 games. So we're right back to being a team that hits for good average, doesn't strike out much but doesn't take many walks either.
One team stat surprised me though (but perhaps it's explained by the lack of Cub HR power this year). The Cubs are last in the NL in being hit by the pitcher (18). The league leaders in that category are the Phillies who've been hit 56 times already.

You would think that all the posing the Cubs do, they would be hit more often!
I haven't been keeping
I haven't been keeping track, who are we blaming this week? Can Barret or Izturis still be responsible for anything that makes a Cub fan angry at this point, or have the merry bloggers picked a new target for Cub fan angst?
Barrett - definitely still

The only reason they're not
The only reason they're not higher in hit batsmen is because Aram gets out of the way of the high and tight pitches he knows are coming.

Wow... those are some pretty
Wow... those are some pretty lousy home run numbers (and no, I am not being sarcastic).
While I don't think that home runs are the only way to get to the playoffs (as I have made clear in other threads), the lack of power is confusing. Lost in Lee's power drought is the fact that both A-Ram and Soriano are significantly below where they should be in terms of home runs.
Soriano has averaged about 34 home runs a season (in full seasons) and 36 home runs over his last three years. A-Ram has averaged about 31 home runs a season (in full seasons), and 35 home runs over his last three years.
I know some people hate to
I know some people hate to say it. But the lack of walks directly coincide with the recent offensive ineptitude. Lack of walks and pitchers who outhit your catchers.
Normally I'd be happy about
Normally I'd be happy about a pitcher outhitting a catcher. While we have some excellent hitting pitchers I think this particular stat is more a testament to our overly-lousy hitting catchers than it is to the hitting ability of the pitchers.
Murton, Cherry coming
The Cubs are turning to Iowa for reinforcements again and plan to call up right-fielder Matt Murton and right-hander Rocky Cherry Friday.
Lou Piniella said Thursday that the Cubs would probably stand pat at the trading deadline, with Murton's hot hitting at Iowa one reason for the decision.
HAHAHAHA! I laugh at all of you have said in recent weeks that Murton would not see the big leagues this year with the Cubs.
No word on who is going down... I would think it would be Petrick and Fox.
Alright. I was wrong,
Alright. I was wrong, smartass. Bask in your awesomeness.
Good lord. You really are an arrogant ass.
dave - I was one of those
dave - I was one of those who did not think Murton would be back, but I have always wanted them to give him another chance... This makes me happy. Now, if they would just play him in some games, I would be even happier...
Good lord. You really are an
Good lord. You really are an arrogant ass.
Right... because everyone else didn't act like arrogant asses about Murton saying that there was no way that he would be back with the Cubs?
Come on...
And honestly, that wasn't directed to you as much as others who were very adamant about wrong me, Johann, and others were about Murton having a future with the Cubs. You were mild compared to others.
ugh... ... about HOW wrong
... about HOW wrong ...
dave - do you think Lou will
dave - do you think Lou will play Murton consistently? I really hope so. I am afraid that if he doesn't, Murt will not really be able to perform...
I would guess that Lou will play him, possibly tonight, and if he doesn't get a hit or help significantly, he'll be riding the pine for awhile... I hope he's able to step up...
dave - do you think Lou will
dave - do you think Lou will play Murton consistently?
I have no idea... I would hope that he gets some decent playing time, and I would think that he plays against all LHP. Of course, with all of the injuries that Floyd finds, Murton may get some time against RHP too.
Dave, For all we know
For all we know Murton is up for an MLB showcase.
I have read today in the
I have read today in the Daily Southtown, that "...barring any additions at the deadline (Ty Wigg.), it is likely that Murton would get called up."
We will have to wait until Tuesday to find out, imo.
Yeah, dave. I think that's
Yeah, dave. I think that's the problem right there. I don't think Murton is the answer as a platoon player hitting against LHP. I think we saw that earlier in the year, with Floyd or Jones getting the RHP games (75%), and Murton playing every 4 days or so. I think either he plays almost every day, or he fails... So, I think he better be ready to really bring it on that first day he gets...
Enough with the personal
Enough with the personal attacks.
Everybody here is entitled to state their opinions without being attacked or called names.
It's fine to disagree with a comment or opinion about a particular player, but it isn't necessary to turn a disagreement it into an in-your-face personal argument, or to bait others into making nasty replies to your comment.
If you feel you can't do that, then don't post here. There are a lot of other Cubs forums that welcome that crap. Go there and have fun.
Dave- Of course, ARAM did
Of course, ARAM did miss some significant time with the quad injury, right?
So 26 HR's wouldn't be so bad...
Anytime DLEE-Uncle Cliffy, Soriano, and Jacque Strapp want to hit a few HR's, it's fine with me.
I am aware of Jacque's hitting the last 2 weeks, but it would still be nice if he'd hit a homer or 2. Zero since June 1?
AZ PHIL - What are your
What are your thoughts on the cubs farm system right now. As we get to the trade deadline, who in your mind are our top 10 prospects?
I don't know, I love all
I don't know, I love all this rearranging of the deck chairs at Iowa and Chicago. Seriously, to me it's almost as good as making trades at the deadline, which the Cubs may not get involved in after all.
So that's it: Murton back, Fox probably going back to Tennessee where they desperately need him. At Iowa, Craig on first (or switching with Moore, whoever plays third better), Kroeger in right, Pie in center and Coats in left.
Craig has had a terrific year under the radar and deserves Iowa more than Fox.
This was nothing personal between Piniella and Fox. The Cubs were just waiting for Murton to make some noise with his bat, which he finally started to. Fox would probably have started a game in right if we had faced a lefty while he was up. He didn't put many dents in the scoreboard in that one at-bat at Wrigley.
AZ Phil stepping it
AZ Phil stepping it up!!
Nice....and while I'm here:
What do you think of Kyler Burke's improvement at Boise? It seems maybe that the Padres were a little over-aggressive in pushing him to A ball at 19?
murton/cherry... probably
probably safe to assume petrick's going down...fox/cedeno/pagan? my loot's on fox but hendry's gone weird before with the callups (remember the theriot callups last year...even one with the sending down of a pitcher in an already full IF/IF-bench?).
Of course, ARAM did miss
Of course, ARAM did miss some significant time with the quad injury, right?
Yea... that is true. So A-Ram is probably pretty close to his normal pace.
Well... now that I look, he is still not quite there either.

2004-2006: 15.28

Enough with the personal
Enough with the personal attacks.
Good call... sorry...
Lee had a hit a HR last
Lee had a hit a HR last night! If he steps it up at all in the second half as he's shown signs if doing, he might not his career #s, but he will still look much better. I still don't want to see AVG sacrificed for HRs though. Hopefully he can do both.
And yes, Murton! I love me some red heads.

I interpret the paraphrased
I interpret the paraphrased statement by Lou that the Cubs will probably stand pat on trades to be a bit of a poker face. What team would advertise and bemoan their needs with four days left before the deadline?
It seems that just about every team is waiting to see if any of their competitors makes a key move. If the Braves decide to trade Saltamacchia to Texas for Texeira, that could cause a chain reaction in which the Mets, Dodgers, Brewers and Cubs all look for upgrades. Baseball Prospectus yesterday said that the Cubs might be hovering over the Texeira deal and may trade for Gerald Laird at C if the Rangers end up with Salty. I can see that trade if Blanco is not ready to come back.
ESPN Rumors column today says Yankees are shopping Damon, possibly to the Braves. Now that is "subtraction by addition." It's too bad we're not talking about the 2004-2006 Damon and not the pale ghost of Johnny Damon we've seen this year.
re: craig... at least he's
re: craig...
at least he's held his power since being busted for roids, but his power wasnt that impressive to begin with...middle of the road line-drive stuff.
craig's not much of a 3rd baseman, either...but neither is scott moore...they both got decent arms (last i heard about craig's anyway).
fox has a chance to be a real power hitter, but craig's stilll got that line-drive thing going on. not that's he's trash or no chance, etc...its just mroe likely too see craig as a bench 1st/3rd type at this point.
he's a little old, too...like 25/26....he's gotta move up eventually, he's done with what he can exploit in AA and he should be in AAA soon enough...maybe really soon with the 2 new injuries cuz he can also cover 1st.
I'd probably agree with Lou
I'd probably agree with Lou the Cubs should just stand pat. Outside of catcher, they don't have any real needs, and there's not a lot out there we could get at catcher.
Our infield is set, our outfield looks pretty good if Jones keeps hitting and if Murton is brought up, our bench could look decent if Ward comes back and with possibly Floyd, our pitching is good outside of Marquis and he can get dropped in the playoffs and our bullpen is certainly one of the better ones.
Of course I'd like to have another big time bat, but I really doubt that could happen right now without some serious names traded, and do we really have the debth to pull off a trade like that?
So, catcher is a big time need, but I doubt that's a possibility.
this is a really good break
this is a really good break for jones...pagan slowed down his bat (and isnt much of a CF to begin with)...jones discovered a few holes between fielders enough to earn a legit shot at starting again...
i kinda highly doubt jones is gonna be around next year and wouldnt be surprised at all to see him leave for next to nothing during the waiver-wire-trade period past the official deadline if he doesnt start elevating the ball (esp. over the fence) soon.
AZ Phil put up a new thread,
AZ Phil put up a new thread, btw.
I would have liked to see us
I would have liked to see us make a run at Lofton for CF or Griffey for RF. I wonder if like the troubles against lefty starters has ruled out consideration of trading for a lefty hitter right now.
I do think that if we see Atlanta, LA, the Mets and the Brewers make moves, we may respond. Right now, unless the Texeira deal happens, about the only thing we may see moving are bullpen arms like Wheeler, Dotel, Qualls, Chad Cordero, and middling starters like Lohse, Traschel, and Contreras. Outside of Chad Cordero, nothing I'd be interested in.
Hi from Cincy! The first
Hi from Cincy! The first person I met at the hotel was Pat Hughes. It was a brief conversation and I was able to thank him for the Harry Caray voices CD. Apparently he ate something that didn't agree with him in StL (Ronnie keeps warning him about the tuna sandwich). He missed last night's broadcast and looked a bit gaunt...he's probably day to day (grin).
Last night's broadcast had Corey P. telling Ronnie about lunch with Pat and Len and that they split the check (CP didn't have to pay). Ron then said something to the effect that play by play guys don't spring for dinners. It's the color analysts that are the big spenders. Hopefully CP didn't sabotage Pat's lunch.
crunch, I wasn't pushing
crunch, I wasn't pushing Craig for promotion. I don't know anything about him except for his good numbers at AA and the fact that he plays positions that don't give him a future with the Cubs. But he's already at Iowa. He played in his first game yesterday. He pinch-hit for Pie and then replaced Kroeger at first. I suppose that Craig was called up a day early to fill Murton's roster spot.
craig's earning his way.
craig's earning his way. he's not trash...he just doesnt project like fox does. not like either are expected to be the next coming of pujols or anything close, anyway.
he's just never developed anything but gap power...it worked for mark grace, but craig dont have grace's eye.
if healthy he'll probably get a shot on someone's bench someday and if he adjusts up the ladder he could be someone's regular...dont think he's ever played above AA.

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.

Sunday's horrendous crash on North Kihei Road that took the lives of two motorcyclists and injured three others is a devastating blow to our community.
Two very good people lost their lives. Marlene Debnam was a past president of Street Bikers United Hawaii-Maui County Chapter and one of the leaders of that group's annual drive for Toys for Tots.
The other victim, Abel Ventura, was described by a fellow cyclist as a "good guy . . . the kindest person you wanted to know."
Debnam, Ventura and the three injured motorcyclists were part of a St. Patrick's Day rally - a carefree, fun outing. Unfortunately, it turned into a sad reminder that a moment's distraction on our roads can prove deadly. In this case, it appears one small mistake resulted in the crash of six motorcycles and two pickup trucks.
While the official cause of Sunday's crash has not been announced, we'd like to make a few suggestions. To all of our cycling friends - both motorized and pedaling - we'd ask you to be especially diligent. You don't have the protective armor around you a car or truck provides, so remember that vulnerability and drive defensively.
We'd remind all of our motorist friends to not engage in activities that take your mind off the road - no phone calls, changing playlists or texting. And, remember, Maui County's roads are not super highways - slow down, obey the posted speed limits.
Maui County simply can't afford to keep losing good people who should have years of service to their friends and community left.

That's Odd: A collection of the weird, unusual and just plain funny
Goat manure fire stinks up town
WINDSOR, Vt. -- A pile of goat manure spontaneously caught fire, spreading stench and wrinkling noses through a Vermont town but causing no damage, officials said.
The odor evoked "a damp kind of burning leaves or brush fire," Windsor Town Manager Tom Marsh said.
A worker on her way to milk goats discovered the fire in the 120-cubic-yard manure pile around 3 a.m. Wednesday, said George Redick, owner of the 800-goat Oak Knoll Dairy. He and others put out the flames.
Marsh said he could smell the fire at his hilltop home 5 miles away.
Ex-convict sentenced for sneaking into jails
NEW YORK -- A convicted sex offender who repeatedly used phony correction department credentials to gain entry into New York City jails has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Matthew Matagrano was sentenced Thursday. The 36-year-old Yonkers resident pleaded guilty in July to posing as a correction officer and sneaking into the Manhattan Detention Center, where he mingled with inmates for hours.
During a Feb. 27 visit Matagrano assaulted an inmate and stole a $2,500 walkie-talkie. He also handed out cigarettes to inmates.
Matagrano said he repeatedly sneaked into jails because the people inside were "nice" and made him "feel important."

Rock In The Suburbs?
Live Nation and Plano Have Agreed To Terms On a Large-Scale Music Festival For The Dallas Suburb.
By Pete on Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 4:10 PM
For the mere starting cost of $625,000, Live Nation will put an Austin City Limits-styled music festival in your suburb.
Or at least that seems to be the big takeaway in Bill Conrad's Plano Star-Courier piece from earlier this week, which details a new agreement between the City of Plano and the massive event promotions conglomerate, which has now agreed to bring a two-day music festival to the Dallas suburb's Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve in 2014 and, possibly, into years beyond.
It all boils down to this: Plano is paying Live Nation $500,000 for the festival's first year of talent booking, plus an annual fee of $125,000 for in-kind services; in exchange, the company promises some 20,000 attendees per day in the as-yet-unnamed -- or really even announced -- festival's first year, plus as many as 70,000 attendees per day in future years.
Live Nation will keep all revenue generated by the event itself. Plano, meanwhile, estimates that it could earn anywhere between $1.5 and $7.5 million as a result of the added economic benefits surrounding the fest. No surprise, then, that city manager Bruce Glasscock describes the now-promised festival a potential "signature destination event" for his city.
But what can we really expect of the fest? Amy Fortenberry, director of parks and recreation for Plano, expects the event to kick off at a comparable size to Richardson's Wildflower Festival, but anticipates that the event will grow in future years. We also know the festival is set to take place in May.
That's all we really know for now, though. No name has been announced yet for the festival and there have been no indications on the types of acts that will be booked to play.
Danny Eaton, senior vice president of Live Nation's Dallas offices, does however offer up the following in an emailed statement to the Star-Courier: "Our planning will commence immediately [and] we look forward to sharing more details about the 2014 festival later this year."
So word is coming, we can rest assured about that.
But more important? Plano just stepped its music game.

STATEMENT: CAP's Marshall Fitz on President Obama's Plan to Use Executive Authority on Immigration Reform
Contact: Tanya Arditi
Phone: 202.741.6258
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today, President Barack Obama announced that he is directing the Secretary of Homeland Security and Attorney General to make recommendations for taking administrative action to fix the country's broken immigration system. In reaction to the president's announcement, Marshall Fitz, Director of Immigration Policy at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement:
The president today laid the blame for the failure of immigration reform squarely where it should be—at the feet of House Republicans who have refused to bring the Senate's bipartisan legislation, or any immigration reform legislation, to the floor for an up-or-down vote. The president and advocates gave House Republicans every inch of political space they asked for in order to move the process forward, but Speaker Boehner chose short-term politics over the best interests of the country. The inaction of House Republicans has come at a heavy cost to American families, communities, and the economy. To date, the House's failure to pass immigration reform has cost our nation more than $13.5 billion.
We were happy to hear the president state loud and clear he cannot and will not stand by and do nothing in the face of congressional obstruction. President Obama's commitment to taking all the steps within his legal authority—however inadequate given the continued intransigence of House Republicans to pass legislation—is an important step for our nation. We stand strongly with the president and look forward to working with him as he develops administrative reforms to help grow the economy while keeping families together.
We are, however, deeply concerned about the administration's plan to address the burgeoning humanitarian situation at the border. Any attempts to expedite the screening and removal of young children who arrive without their parents is unconscionable. We call on members of Congress and the administration to ensure that any changes to current protections make sure that these children have the necessary time, opportunity, and representation needed to demonstrate whether they are eligible for protection under the law.

Both my grandmothers taught me how to crochet when I was a child. In the fall of 2010, I got involved with crocheting again and it has quickly become a passion. I love creating patterns!View all patterns by designer (214) »
This is a PDF pattern for a great Halloween hat! It's a great accessory for a Halloween costume. The "witch" version has options like a band and buckle, the "wizard" version has stars and crescent moons. The pattern is worked using two strands of worsted weight yarn.
All of my patterns are written using Standard U.S. Crochet Terminology.
