Lee Suspended 5 Games
Does anyone know what caused
Does anyone know what caused Perry's suspension? I haven't seen complete footage of the brawl and haven't heard any details as to his involvement. Was he the one who greenlighted Zambrano's belt-waving?
#1: Because he is Derrek

You, too? Chad & I went on about this yesterday. I say Lee serves his suspension now. Basically play the Rangers with neither Lee or Ramirez and Ramirez comes back Friday.. Lee comes back Sunday. No sense in prolonging it.
And by the way... has Ramirez been taking batting practice? Will he even be ready to come back Friday?

How ironic if Sammy hits
How ironic if Sammy hits number 600 versus the Cubs. I would love to see it!
My paraphrase of Tim Kurjian
My paraphrase of Tim Kurjian on the ESPN Baseball Today podcast:
Kurjian - "I would think that McPhail and the rest of them would look at it and say, "We are not winning with Tejada, so lets see what we can get for him."
I would rather upgrade at SS than in RF, especially if Tejada would be the option. I know that Tejada is on the backside of his career, but he can still be highly productive. And if Floyd can stay healthy, he will be able to produce in RF.
Dave, Just curious - which
Just curious - which top prospects or current Cub players would suggest we include to get MJ?
Tejada is very much on the
Tejada is very much on the downside of his playing career and should be moved to third or even better first. He is not the answer for anyone at shortstop. He can still hit, as evidenced by his .300 average with seven home runs, but has become a definite liability in the field. If the Cubs needed a third or first baseman, I would be all for acquiring him.
According to Espn 1000 there
According to Espn 1000 there is video of Perry "horsecollaring" Peavey during the bruhaha.
Just curious - which top
Just curious - which top prospects or current Cub players would suggest we include to get MJ?
I have no idea what it would take to get Tejada. I would think it would take a lot less than what it would have taken a couple of years ago (i.e. Mark Prior).
How about Zambrano and Jones
How about Zambrano and Jones for Santana on the Twinkies? I can't imagine they are going to have enough money to sign him when his contract is up....maybe Big Z is a little more affordable? Hell, throw in Barrett and some minor leaguers and maybe we can get Mauer too! lol.
The unfortunate thing is we
The unfortunate thing is we did not trade him for Mark Prior. However, MJ is not a good SS anymore and I don't see the Cubs with a need at third base plus the Cubs would have to give up a lot of minor league talent to get him. The Cubs needs are relief pitching, a catcher, a right fielder. In terms of the catcher and right fielder they need to be able to be above avergae defensively!
I disagree. In right field
I disagree. In right field you need someone who can mash the ball, but without being a butcher in the field. We need a good defensive shortstop and catcher more than a right fielder.
Why is RF a need but not
Why is RF a need but not SS?
The Cubs have a player (Floyd) hitting well in RF, without another guy in AAA (Murton) who has proven that he can hit major league pitching successfully.
The Cubs do not have a quality hitter at SS. They have a decent, patient hitter (Theriot) and a bad hitter (Izzy), but not a good one.
I don't understand why RF is more of a need than SS.
How many years/dollars does
How many years/dollars does Tejada have left? If memory serves he is signed through 2009. He could certainly be a possibility at 2B after this season if he was acquired.
nazey: "On a side note, how
"On a side note, how is it that DLee is hitting .340 in the 3 spot and only has 36 rbi? That's about an 80-85 rbi pace- yikes."
It's because Dusty puts crappy OBP guys at the top of the lineup, oh nevermind...
*without = with It should
*without = with
It should read "with another guy in AAA..."
Welcome back Rob...hope all
Welcome back Rob...hope all is well. Go Sammy! Screw Mustache!
ZHL: "How many years/dollars
"How many years/dollars does Tejada have left?"
Tejada is still owed:
2007: $12 million
2008: $13 million
2009: $13 million
2010: $2 million signing bonus (deferred)
2011: $2 million signing bonus (deferred)
So, after this year, he still has 2 years/$30 million left.
D-Lee only has 36 RBI's
D-Lee only has 36 RBI's because when he was hitting .390, Soriano was sucking and Jacque was hitting second.
Then he started slumping and Soriano and Pie were on base all over the place.
Now he's hitting again and Soriano's sucking again.
That, and if he had 15 homers by now, he'd have a bunch more RBI's. Instead, he has half that.
D-Lee only has 36 RBI's
D-Lee only has 36 RBI's because when he was hitting .390, Soriano was sucking and Jacque was hitting second.
Not quite... Jock only has 16 at-bats batting second.
When are you people going to
When are you people going to learn? We already have an All-Star, Gold Glove shortstop! And Jacque's gonna be a very good player this year!
End o' story.
Would you sign Tejada this
Would you sign Tejada this offseason for 2/30 to play 2B if you hypothetically knew he was going to hit .310 with 22-25 homers? I would lean slightly toward no.
But if the Cubs can trade for him without giving up a stud - like perhaps for Theriot, Jones and Dopirak or a similar package - then maybe.
Given that we have 2 SSs - one with a plus golve, one with a plus contact bat - but only one legit RF and at that who should only play part-time - I'd still prefer to try to upgrade RF over SS. Unless Mike Young is available, but I doubt it.
Ha Ha Danville Joe!! But it
Ha Ha Danville Joe!!
But it is funny as all offseason and even currently people keep saying how JJ is such a good value when you consider what other OFs are signed for, but I don't care if he was making only $1,000 a year, he has totally sucked so far this year. Putrid!!!
.235 avg, .294 obp, .332 slg and .626 ops
one with a plus contact
one with a plus contact bat
I am a big fan of Theriot, but I am not so sure that he has a "plus contact bat." His current season numbers are as follows:
That really isn't a "plus" anything.
Don't get me wrong - I believe that Theriot is valuable, but not necessarily as a starter on a team with playoff hopes.
Another thing about Tejada I
Another thing about Tejada I have annually noticed as he is one of my fantasy players on my dynasty team - he has faded after the ASG every year he has been in Baltimore.
Now, is that due to lack of excitement because he's stuck with a loser? (I know, I know, we're still talking about the Cubs...) I can't answer that. I don't recall him being a bad second-half player with Oakland, but that's almost ancient history these days.
One more factor with Tejadad - Baltimore is self-proclaimed "shortstop country," and I'm not sure they're ready to deal him yet.
Dave, The Riot has
Dave, The Riot has definitely been exposed and/or overexposed this year. I think his career numbers show he's slightly better than his annual line thus far, except for the slugging %, which is probably almost best-case for the Riot.
Probably only a starter on an AL team where you can easily "hide" him at 8/9
he has faded after the ASG

I think his career numbers show he's slightly better than his annual line thus far
What career numbers? His 50 games from last year where pitchers didn't know who he was?
Again... I like the guy - a lot. But I am not sure that we can expect much more from the guy. His career minor league numbers are: .271/.355/.337, which show great patience, but that is about it.

That, and if he had 15
That, and if he had 15 homers by now, he'd have a bunch more RBI's. Instead, he has half that.
And yet when I said several weeks ago that one of the main problems with the Cubs was production from the #3 spot DUE TO A LACK OF HR's you disagreed Wes.
In fact, although DLee accounts for the overwhelming majority of the stats, the Cubs #3 is aactually below average in RBI's and well below average in HR's.
Does anyone here stilll want to argue that #3 hitters don't need to hit HR's??!!
Until he finds his power, I hit Lee #2 and get Pie outathere. In fact, I'd only start Pie when Marquis and Z are pitching and bat him ninth in front of Soriano, not behind him the way we're doing it now.
We also need to get Barrett out from behind the plate more often. He came up as a SS/3B. He has a decent arm. So, why can't he play first base or RF? Right now he projects to 24 HR/ 78 RBI which is enough production to justify playing him in the outfield.--- certainly better than anything else we've tossed out there this year.
Does anyone here stilll want
Does anyone here stilll want to argue that #3 hitters don't need to hit HR's??!!
Lee not hitting home runs has been somewhat bothersome, but the guy still is slugging .525, which places him 13th in the NL. His RBI production has not been because of a lack of home runs.
Lee, with runners on: .398/.476/.565
Lee, with RISP: .422/.486/.656
He is crushing the ball with runners on. The RBI will come.
HItting the sweet rock a
HItting the sweet rock a little early, cwtp?
Let's focus on fixing the real problems with the Cubs, not creating others... Pie needs to play EVERY DAY. More than almost anyone else, he needs to be put in a stable role on this team, and left there to learn and develop. As for moving Barrett, I am all for it, as long as moving him means moving him to another team, and getting another catcher in here. Moving Barrett to another position leaves a big problem behind the plate, since Koyie Hill is the only other option right now. Not to mention that your two proposed positions are currently occupied by the Cubs' best hitter, and a serious logjam of other players who have actually played RF before. I am not going to get into the whole argument about Lee not hitting enough homers. I am in agreement with Wes, as usual, that some of Lee's production has been hurt by Soriano and the #2 slot, which was seemingly a different person every day for awhile there.
Samaramadingdong apparently
Samaramadingdong apparently had a positive start, so his bullpen work might have been useful:
CHC HiA Samardzija, Jeff
……….. 4.2 5 0 0 5 1 5.06 - first start since June 1
#40 CWTP...........Barrett
#40 CWTP...........Barrett came up as a third baseman and played in about 120 games there for some really bad Expo teams. Apparently, you never saw him play third. If you think he is weak defensively as a catcher, he was a butcher at third.
He has one ideal position in the major leagues, designated hitter, and the sooner they find a club for him, the better.
some of Lee's production

Hmmm... I questioned this one, but the I looked that the stats.
The Cubs are 11th in the NL in terms of OBP from their #2 hitter. They are 6th in the NL in terms of OBP from their lead off hitter.
I actually think that a
I actually think that a bigger problem is one we discussed a few days ago, and that is the Cubs' production from the #5 slot, which I don't expect to get any better with Lee and/or Ramirez out of the lineup. Look at those stats if you really want to see a problem...
Jace... no question - but
Jace... no question - but the problems from the 5 slot have little to do with Lee's lack of RBI production.
If Lee hits .350 the rest of
If Lee hits .350 the rest of the year, I could care less if he doesn't hit another HR. With a so called good lineup and a so called good hitter in the leadoff spot, .350 should be enough for many, many RBIs, and then ARam hits behind to hit the HRs.
The interesting thing is Soriano is only hitting .167 with a .167 OBP against finesse pitchers. For the past 3 years, he's hitting .273 with a .291 OBP against finesse pitchers. If pitchers ever figure out that you can get Soriano out by throwing sliders in the dirt, he's going to be screwed.

I know, dave. I was just
I know, dave. I was just pointing that out while you were on a stat-finding mission already. I think that the #5 slot production is a more serious issue to the team's overall success than D. Lee's RBI production right now.
Johann - That is why Soriano insists on batting in the leadoff slot. With the good part of the lineup behind him, pitchers are more likely to throw him strikes, because they want to avoid walking him. When most pitchers really want to throw strikes, they throw fastballs, which he can actually hit.
Johann: The interesting

Steve Stone eluded to this some time ago... Soriano crushes the #3, 4, and 5 guys in the rotation and can't hit off the #1 & 2 guys.
That lends credence to the saying that good pitching beats good hitting.
Yeah, Rynox, and the #1 and
Yeah, Rynox, and the #1 and #2 pitchers in most teams' rotations are the ones that can throw their junk for strikes, so Soriano sees less fastballs from them.

Interesting... I didn't realize they had splits against different types of pitchers. That is quite cool.
With that said, the .167 BA/OBP is only in 24 at-bats. Over the last three years, he does have a (slightly) more respectable line: .273/.291/.482
Steve Stone also likened the
Steve Stone also likened the setup guys and closers on most teams to the #1 & #2 starters. So basically when you need that big hit in the 8th & 9th inning you might not want to count on Soriano.

So basically when you need that big hit in the 8th & 9th inning you might not want to count on Soriano.
Hmm... not so sure about this. Most setup guys/closers tend to be power pitchers, and rarely are finesse pitchers. Soriano hits power pitchers VERY well.

Soriano, Late & Close:
Soriano, Late & Close: 240/296/280
So the question is this - does Soriano struggle in late and close situations because of the pitchers? Or because he presses to hard and pressure situations and tends to swing at bad pitches?

lol rynox... you may be right.

Yeah somebody used it in a comment and I loved it... maybe it was jacos... oh well I don't feel too bad, because I don't think it was original anyways. :-p
So what have we learned about Soriano?
* He doesn't hit well in cold weather
* He only hits in the leadoff spot
* He only hits while playing left field
* He doesn't hit well against good pitcher
* He's not good late and close
* His bat starts to get hot when the cicadas come out
* He has a better OBP during the full-moon lunar phase
As Ron Santo would say... oh boy... geesh.

Yet somehow he is still hitting .294/.345/.517. That's not too bad for a guy who has such limited abilities.
But is anyone else concerned about the fact that Soriano only has 8 SB?
Given the hamstring injury,
Given the hamstring injury, 8 SB seems like a decent amount.
I don't understand this
I don't understand this whole late and close thing. According to what I have read here, there is no such thing as clutch. Soriano's numbers in "late and close" situations must be due to small sample size or just plain bad luck. People are not effected by situations. The only thing that matters is career numbers and that a player will generally perform in all situations to those numbers. Clutch can't be proven with numbers, right? So it doesn't exist.

Also, Soriano has been overall good in the late innings except for this year. Which, Chad, proves what stat people say about clutch in general. There is very little consistency in "cluitch" numbers among players. There are clutch situations, but not a lot of players who do better in those situations then others over an extended period of time.
What you do get are good hitters doing well in clutch situations because they're good hitters, not because they're more clutch.

Former Cubs seem to thrive in Florida. -- Dontrell (sp), Sergio, Harris, etc. Maybe we should start only drafting players from cold-weatheir climates.
You know, my first reaction
You know, my first reaction to #102 was to think, well gee, Harris never played well for us, how were we supposed to know he was going to randomly bust out in 2007? But then I took a cursory glance at his batting averages in our system and he hit .274 at Lansing, .329 at Daytona, .321 and .280 at West Tenn and .311 at Iowa (in order by year and per various sample sizes, some of them significant) before he was traded to Montreal in 2004 as part of the 3-way Nomar deal.
Is there a specific reason I can't recall that we were willing to give up on him, other than that we were about to receive Nomar (and Murton)?

Is there a specific reason I can't recall that we were willing to give up on him, other than that we were about to receive Nomar (and Murton)?
Well... you do need to give up something decent to get decent people back.
And I would do that trade over in a second. The Cubs came out on top with that trade both at the time and in the future.
Murton will be a better major league baseball player than Brendan Harris.

he used to be an allstar, you know...
Like Theriot and Fontenot
Like Theriot and Fontenot (and Murton), nobody really liked Harris because he didn't have spectacular tools, like Corey or Felix. They are just good, solid ballplayers, but we label them "AAAA" because they can't hit batting practice pitches 500 feet or run like the wind.
Having said that, I would still have made the Nomar deal.. I still can't figure out how a lineup with Sosa, Alou, Nomar, Lee, Ramirez, Walker and a decent Corey completely stopped hitting the last week of 2004 and missed the playoffs.

I still can't figure out how a lineup with Sosa, Alou, Nomar, Lee, Ramirez, Walker and a decent Corey completely stopped hitting the last week of 2004 and missed the playoffs.

Yeah -- Dusty batting the goat in the #2 hole was just stupid. The thing couldn't bunt worth a damn.

Ok..I was for it at the time, and if it'd wprked out, it would be a good trade.
Nomar as a Cub:
105 games played..we didn't win shit.
Another great Cub trade. Fate...karma..whatever.
It didn't work out.
And now, we'll have to trade Murton for something useful for the trade to look good if Harris keeps hitting like he is in 2007.
"for the trade to look good
"for the trade to look good if Harris keeps hitting like he is in 2007."
Put that right next to "world peace" in the Things That Aren't Likely To Happen list.
Actually I want to change my
Actually I want to change my vote. Mannytrillo is absolutely, positively correct. Sosa needs to go 1-for-13 with 8 Ks and a solo home run in a Cubs' three-game sweep. That's called Double-Entendre Poetic Justice.
Please 'splain what you mean
Please 'splain what you mean Carlos?
The Cubs won't trade him for something useful, or Harris won't keep hittting?
Sorry! I didn't crop the
Sorry! I didn't crop the paragraph properly. I meant that Harris is very, very, very unlikely to keep hitting the way he's been so far.
Hmmm...he may fall off
Hmmm...he may fall off some...but his minor league #'s are:
.295/.363/.469..compared to .321/.376/.502 this season. He's 26, and has hit at every level.
I don't think he can quite keep up what he's doing, but it is his first extended shot in the bigs.
Even reverting to his minor league #'s is better than anything else the Cubs have at SS.
Neifi Garciaparra .279 .322
Neifi Garciaparra .279 .322 .340 has 1 HR this year.
Meanwhile, Juan "prototype leadoff man" Pierre .278 .310 .327 has managed to score a feeble 36 Runs which projects well below 100 for the year. And that will make it three years in a row with less than 100 RS.
Neither of these guys were good trades for the Cubs
or good pickups by LA for that matter.

5. Gallagher
6. Izturis-on the condition we get another shortstop
I can see another team trading us they're poor performing, big contract for Eyre or Jones. I can see a buyer (AL) wanting Barrett in a backup catcher/dh role and I can see a team dumping salaries wanting Murton+Gallagher.

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.

How to connect wireless networks for printing capabilities

two devices so all users can be on the Internet and print.
To create the physical link, you can use Ethernet, HomePlug, or Wi-Fi. Because your routers are from different vendors and located in different rooms, HomePlug may be your best bet. Buy a pair of HomePlug Ethernet adapters -- you can find a list of HomePlug certified products here.
Plug one HomePlug adapter into an electrical outlet located near the 2Wire router, and the other HomePlug adapter into an outlet near the Linksys router. Use a short Ethernet cable to connect one HomePlug to an unused Ethernet port on your 2Wire router. Use another short Ethernet cable to connect the other HomePlug to the WAN port on your Linksys router. The two networks are now physically connected.
At this point, your Linksys router will get its WAN IP address from your 2Wire router.
Important: Change your Linksys router's LAN port address so that it uses a different (non-overlapping) subnet than your 2Wire. Both may default to 192.168.1.x. If so, change your Linksys router's LAN port to something like 192.168.55.1, leaving your 2Wire's LAN port at 192.168.1.1.
At this point, clients connected to the Linksys router will have no trouble reaching the Internet by routing through the 2Wire onto your AT&T broadband connection. However, you also want clients on the 2Wire to reach the printer connected to your Linksys router -- that requires a configuration change on the Linksys router. By default, your Linksys wireless router includes a firewall that blocks unsolicited traffic sent to its WAN port, including any traffic sent by 2Wire clients to your print server.
To change this, configure your Linksys to treat your print server as a "DMZ Host." On most Linksys routers, this can be found under "Applications and Gaming," just enable DMZ Host and enter the print server's static LAN IP address.
From now on, 2Wire clients will be able to print by sending jobs to the Linksys router's static WAN IP address. The Linksys router will forward those incoming requests, translating its own WAN IP address to the DMZ Host's LAN IP address.
To make this all works, the print server and Linksys router must have static IP addresses. Configure your JetDirect with an IP address from the Linksys router's LAN subnet, using a host number other than the Linksys router's LAN IP or DHCP range.
For example, if your Linksys LAN IP is 192.168.55.1 and uses 192.168.55.50-100 for DHCP, you could assign the JetDirect 192.168.55.2.
Finally, configure your Linksys WAN port with a static IP from the 2Wire's LAN subnet, For example, 192.168.1.2. Clients connected to the Linksys will print to 192.168.55.2, while clients connected to the 2Wire will print to 192.168.1.2. Yes, addressing does get a bit confusing, so I recommend drawing a diagram to keep everything straight.

The vast majority of the world's poorest countries are in Africa, and nearly half of Sub-Saharan Africa's 910 million people are estimated to live on less than US$1.25 per day. Grameen Foundation has been working in Sub-Saharan Africa for more than a decade, improving the livelihoods of the region's poor by building relevant mobile-based solutions and increasing access to financial services. Our current work focuses on delivering financial solutions and information services via mobile technology that target the rural poor, with a specific focus on agriculture, health and livelihoods.
Grameen Foundation began working in Ghana in 2008 through a collaboration with the Ghana Health Service to improve the maternal and neonatal care in rural communities with the Mobile Technology for Community Health (MOTECH) initiative. Using the MOTECH platform, we have also developed mobile applications that provide information on sexual reproductive health to youth.
In Kenya, we are using mobile technology to improve access to financial services and information on agriculture. Through our e-warehouse initiative, we are also developing a mobile-based system to provide information to help smallholder maize farmers properly store their crops post-harvest, and connect them to financial services and markets for final sale.
Grameen Foundation launched its mobile technology work in Uganda in 2002 with Village Phone and it remains a hub for many of our mobile-based initiatives. Our Community Knowledge Worker initiative combines mobile technology and human networks to give smallholder farmers access to accurate, timely information that helps them protect their crops and animals, improve their yields and get better market prices.

In this movie, I am going to review my recommended color settings for achieving the best results when working inside Photoshop CS5 Extended. Now these are the exact same color settings I have recommended in my previous one-on-one courses. So once again, if you have done it in the past you don't need to do it again. Otherwise, go up to the Edit menu and choose the Color Settings command, where you can press Ctrl+Shift+K, Command+Shif+K on the Mac in order to bring up this dialog box. The first change we are going to make is to switch the RGB space. Now by default its set to sRGB which is a consumer color space, it's designed to simulate a worst-case scenario monitor, it is not for us.
We are going to get much better results, wider color gamut, if we switch from sRGB to Adobe RGB, like so. CMYK is between you and your commercial print house. So if you work with Prepress group then, go ahead and contact them and find out what CMYK settings you should be using. Next go over to the More options button and click on it and there's two changes, I recommend down here. First of all, I turn off Use Dither and what that means is when you're converting between color spaces by default Photoshop is going to add a little bit of noise it's going to rough up the colors in order to basically, achieve closer color equivalence, however, that also, means if you specifically decided an area of color needed to be one flat color, one solid color and in my opinion it's just not worth it.
You don't really achieve tremendously better results with Dither on, so I turned it off. Next I go ahead and change Intent from Relative Colormetric which is actually great for graphical work and we will be doing graphical work in this series. However, for photographic work Perceptual tends to be better and it does a better job of preserving gradual transitions between colors and we are going to have a lot of that inside of our 3D artwork as well. All right, once you've done that then go ahead and click on the Save button and I recommend that you call this file, and, by the way, you want to save it exactly, where Photoshop sends you, don't go to a different folder.
I would like to call this file Best Workflow CS5, it will work across all the CS5 applications, including Illustrator and InDesign and so forth then, click the Save button and you'll get this description field right here, you can type in your own description if you want to. If you want to add my description, I have already created one in advance, then, you can go ahead and switch over to this file which is called Best Workflow description.txt, open it inside of any text editor, go ahead and grab that text and copy it like so, you can press Ctrl+C, Command+C on the Mac then, go back to Photoshop and just press Ctrl+V or Command+V on a Mac, in order to paste, click OK and the deed is done, you now have your settings saved as Best Workflow CS5.
Initially your colors will be unsynchronized between the various applications. If you have the entire Creative Suite and you've got the Adobe Bridge then, you would go ahead and load this Best Workflow CS5 file, inside the Bridge using the Bridge's color settings command. In any case I am just going to leave it at Photoshop here, I'll click OK, and we have now applied what I believe to be the best color settings for working inside Photoshop. Now if this in anyway shape or form messes you up. If you end up getting colors that you don't like, if all your images start looking different, if your images start printing different there's a very slight chance that kind of stuff is going to happen, but if it does then you can reset back to the previous color settings easy as pie.
All you do is go up to the Edit menu, you choose a Color Settings command again and then, you switch your settings from Best Workflow CS5 back to the defaults which in this country are North America General Purpose 2, that will take you back to the sRGB space which as I say, big mistake, but you can do it and things will look the way that they used to then, go ahead and click OK. I don't recommend that thought, so I am going to click Cancel. I just want you to know that option is available to you. In the next movie, I am going to show you how to set up your workspace.

MIAMI -- Let's take a quick look at how the Miami Heat earned a 107-95 win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night at American Airlines Arena.
How it happened: LeBron James led the Heat with 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds while Chris Bosh added 16 points and six rebounds.
Carlos Boozer was one of the only bright spots on this night for the Bulls. The veteran power forward scored 31 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
What it means: The story is the same as it ever was for the Bulls when it comes to playing the Heat. Yes, Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler being in foul trouble changed the dynamic of the game. But that shouldn't override the fact that the Bulls couldn't get anything substantial going offensively all night. They struggled to find a rhythm, a common occurrence against Miami's defense in years past.
Rose looked rusty in his first regular-season game in more a year and a half, and there is no doubt he and his teammates will have better nights than this one this season. But with all the hope surrounding his return and the Bulls' championship aspirations this season, this game will serve as a reminder they still must find a way to get consistent scoring in crucial moments from someone other than Rose.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau will remind his team, and the media, that this game is just one of 82 contests this season. The issue for the Bulls is that this game -- one dominated by Miami's defense at times -- looked a lot like some of the playoff defeats the Bulls have suffered at the hands of the Heat in recent years.
Hits: Butler ended up having a solid night after he dodged his foul trouble. The third-year swingman finished with 20 points, three assists and three rebounds.
Misses: This was one of the worst games Deng has played in a long time. Mired in foul trouble throughout the night, Deng didn't play in the second quarter while saddled with three fouls. He scored four points and was just 2-for-8 from the field in 29 minutes.
Stat of the night: Rose's final line was 34 minutes, 12 points, 4-for-15 from the field, 1-for-7 from the three-point line, 3-for-4 from the charity stripe, four assists, one rebound and five turnovers.
What's next: The Bulls take on the New York Knicks on Thursday night at home in the United Center.

MATTER: Disregarding the barriers between design and art since 1999. Thats the motto of MATTER, the fast-forward local design studio masterminded by Rick Griffith, and it describes perfectly the show Griffith has hung in the fourth-floor Jury Selection Room at the Denver City and County Building as part of the ongoing C&C Exhibition Series curated by local photographer Anna Newell. The boundary-crossing exhibit, If (Silence = Golden) Then Get Rich Quick, Now: New Works Designed to Inspire Quiet While Waiting for Jury Service, opened last Tuesday and continues weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. through April 29.
Yes, its a long name for a show. But understand that this comes from the active mind of a man who is more than just fascinated with the graphic properties of words and wears his hair in Reddy Kilowatt devil horns that leave one under the impression that his thoughts are so relentless and complex that they actually leak right up and out of his head. That said, hes certain to give the lucky potential jurors who file through that room throughout March and April a lot to think about. And you, too: The general public is also invited to view the exhibit between noon and 6 p.m. weekdays; log on to www.myspace.com/exhibitionspeakerseries for the details.
Mondays-Fridays, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Starts: March 3. Continues through April 29, 2009

Imagine an exciting, new community of faith in Jesus Christ, right in the heart of downtown Montréal.
Our prayer is that God would build us into a modern, open place where all can come with their questions about life.
Imagine a church with vibrant worship in English and French where bilingual families and individuals can celebrate God's love, together! Imagine a church home where children are an integral part of every gathering, inspired by their parents and grandparents to grow in their faith.
And now, imagine all that in a brand new community with a new formula, set within the re-opened doors of the 150+ year old Church of St James the Apostle on rue Sainte-Catherine. Our prayer is that God would build us into a modern, open place where all can come with their questions about life.
Our vision
Our vision is to love Jesus, build community and transform lives. We hope to do this in active learning partnerships with friends from all parts of the church – evangelical, sacramental, charismatic and more. Led by Rev. Graham Singh and Céline Singh and a growing team of volunteers, we are particularly inspired by a new movement of church planting from London England and led by a church called Holy Trinity Brompton, home of Alpha. Alpha is a 10 week course including a meal, short talk and time for questions. We will be running Alpha regularly in both English and French.
If you are new to church, this will be an opportunity for you to see how Christians build a whole new community.
If you have been following the church from a distance, come and see how this new experience may help you connect with God.
And if you have been a follower of Jesus Christ for some time, perhaps you've been waiting for something like this to start? Perhaps you need this to boost your Christian experience. We need you!
Are you ready?
We are ready to welcome you!
Our official launch will be on Sunday September 11th, 10am. Come and join us for this great celebration.
Everyone is welcome! Children hugely welcome too!
A few weeks later, we will start Alpha on Wednesday October 5th, 7pm.
Our prayer is that as autumn unfolds, we'll be fully launched on Sundays, ringing the ancient bells along rue Sainte-Catherine and praying for God's continued blessing and guidance, on all we do in His name!
So join us! And if you can't join us, please support us in prayer!

Gordon Brown has met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at Downing Street to discuss the peace process in the Middle East.
The two met for an hour in Downing Street where their discussion included the Arab Peace Initiative and the Palestinian economy.
A spokesman for Number 10 said: "They focused their discussions on the need to renew efforts towards a lasting peace agreement.
How are we to account for the complete lack of progress in peace negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israel during 2009?
To give a comprehensive answer to this question would require many more column inches than the JC permits me. So let me focus on just one of the components. But first I must dismiss two excuses repeated ad nauseam in the media.
The Palestine Liberation Organisation provoked a spat between newly-elected prime minister Margaret Thatcher and Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington, according to papers just released by the National Archive.
The papers also show her unswerving commitment to Israel and recognition of its position as the West's
primary ally in the region, even at such an early stage in her leadership.
Israel's main route between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem must be opened to Palestinians, the Israeli Supreme Court has ruled.
Palestinians have been barred from using Highway 443 since 2002 when Palestinian terrorists attacked and shot dead Israeli motorists on the road.
But villagers from the Arab village of Beit Sira in the West Bank section of the road, which runs for 10km, have been prevented from access by concrete barriers, and are stopped at military checkpoints.
Villagers took their case to court in 2007, with the assistance of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.
More than 600 protesters gathered outside the Israeli embassy to mark the year anniversary of Operation Cast Lead.
Representatives from 25 organisations, including Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), the Green Party and Neturei Karta demonstrated in High Street Kensington on Sunday.
Politicians, Jeremy Corbyn, Martin Linton and Baroness Jenny Tonge were joined by Manuel Hassassian, the Palestinian Territories' diplomatic representative to the UK.
A government minister has spoken at the same controversial Palestinian-organised conference which invited an extremist Hungarian far-right leader.
Mike Foster, Minister of State at the Department for International Development, was invited by the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) to a conference in London on Wednesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
More than 60 protesters demonstrated outside a church which held a carol service with alternative songs condemning Israel.
The service was held at St Paul's in Covent Garden by Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods (JBIG) on Tuesday and included readings from Palestinian writer Ghada Karmi, veteran peace campaigner Bruce Kent, Baroness Jenny Tonge and Lauren Booth.
Prominent Palestinian academic Sari Nusseibeh has reportedly been blasted for writing about the Jewish connection to Temple Mount.
Mr Nusseibeh was one of a number of Palestinian and Israeli scholars to contribute to an unprecedented joint new study about the site, Where Heaven and Earth Meet: Jerusalem's Sacred Esplanade, initiated by the Hebrew University and the Yad Ben-Tzvi Institute.
In his chapter, Mr Nusseibeh, president of al-Quds University in east Jerusalem, does not affirm that there were Jewish temples on Temple Mount.
Dozens of protesters demonstrated outside a Baptist church which held a carol concert organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).
The service, entitled Voices of Bethlehem, was held at the Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church on Monday.
Protesters waved Israel flags and handed out flyers as more than 200 people attended the service, which included readings from playwright Caryl Churchill, whose play, Seven Jewish Children, caused controversy earlier this year.
Celtic fans have reacted with outrage at the Scottish Trade Union Congress' attempts to use the Hapoel Tel Aviv Europa League match as a political rally against Israel.
The STUC, backed by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, plans to hand out 10,000 Palestinian flags to fans entering the Celtic Park stadium as an "act of solidarity", almost one year after Operation Cast Lead.
Writing on blogs, comments and message boards, Celtic fans have railed against the mixing of football and Middle East politics.

HMV Guernsey warehouse closure 'due to end of LVCR'
- 31 July 2012
- From the section Guernsey
The ending of a UK tax relief was a key factor in the closure of HMV's warehouse in Guernsey, the head of press for the company has said.
The warehouse, which employed 46 people, closed on Friday.
Gennaro Castaldo said the ending of Low Value Consignment Relief, which allowed certain goods to be sent to the UK VAT free, had forced the decision.
He said without the relief it was not commercially viable to have a separate operation from the island.
Mr Castaldo said: "We also had a warehouse in the West Midlands in the UK and it was just very difficult to run two operations when we didn't have Low Value Consignment Relief to help make our internet fulfilment more commercially viable."
He said 11 staff had been able to transfer within HMV, one to its store in St Peter Port and 10 to the company's warehouse in London, and about half of the rest had found alternative employment.
The company first moved some of its warehouse operations to the island in 2006.
Mr Castaldo said the closure of the warehouse would not affect the St Peter Port store, which was "one of their more successful" and they had no plans to close it.

'American Idol' officially reveals Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler as new judges
Randy Jackson will continue to judge, while Jimmy Iovine will be an in-house mentor
Well that, kids, was mighty anti-climactic.
Formally confirming rumors that were reported as fact months ago, FOX announced on Wednesday (September 22) morning that actress/singer/former Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler will be joining Sole Survivor Randy Jackson on the judging panel for next spring's 10th installment of "American Idol."
Slightly less over-reported (but still strongly rumored) previously was the news that Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine will serve as this season's in-house mentor, working with contestants throughout the show's run.
The formal reveal of the "American Idol" judges were made at Los Angeles' Forum on Wednesday after many weeks of reports that Lopez and Tyler were signed, sealed and delivered, followed by several weeks of reports that Lopez might not be so set-in-stone after all, followed by several more weeks of reports that everything was copacetic again between Lopez and FOX.
Through it all, the network retained a strict "no comment" policy, telling reporters at this summer's Television Critics Association press tour that no announcement would be made until all contracts are signed. That time appears to be now.
"For nine years I've enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams," says Lopez in the FOX statement. I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I'm looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit in the many 'American Idol' contestants I look forward to meeting this year."
Lopez's contract came accompanied by a new deal with both 20th Century Fox Films and FOX Broadcasting company for her Nuyorican Productions shingle.
"We're incredibly excited to have Jennifer join the Fox family," states Peter Rice, Chairman of Entertainment for Fox Networks Group. "From the worlds of dance and music to television, films and fashion, she is a global superstar with iconic and captivating style, along with impressive insight on how to reach and move audiences worldwide."
But now back to canned statements from other folks on the "American Idol" judging team.
"I've been on tour for most of my life in a band with four guys who judge me every day. Sometimes it hurt, but it only made me stronger," contributes Tyler. "I want to give everybody a little love before I decide who goes home heartbroken. If you don't like what I say, don't get mad, get better. I'm ready to bring some rock to this 'roller' coaster and show these kids if they have the dream, the talent and the drive, they will be the next American Idol."
And Randy Jackson, the only returning "Idol" judge after the departures of Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi, adds "I can't believe it's been 10 years of the greatest show in the world. I am looking forward to this next season; we are going to knock it out of the park. Season 10 is going to be hot!"
Sigh. Oh, Randy.
Cowell left the show, as previously announced, in May after serving as judge for all nine "Idol" seasons. DeGeneres departed after one season in July, while DioGuardi's exit after two seasons was revealed in September.
"Jennifer was a terrific mentor on 'Idol' -- one of the best we've ever had -- and we've always dreamed that she would take a seat at the judges' table," states FOX reality guru Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "America is going to love her on this show because she's impossibly glamorous, yet totally relatable, and she understands what these contestants will be going through as they pursue their dreams. Steven Tyler is, hands down, one of the most successful rock artists in history, and he is the epitome of what rock-and-roll is all about: bold, outrageous, creative and passionate. With an unprecedented career and innate knowledge of the music industry, Steven will definitely add a unique edge to the new judges' panel next to Randy, who understands every aspect of developing talent and performing." He added, "Jimmy Iovine is the most impressive mentor we could have ever wished for on the series. In his role at Interscope Geffen A&M, Jimmy would be developing these young artists anyway, so now we'll get an even deeper look at how someone is transformed into a star."
"American Idol" will return to FOX for its 10th season, starting this January.

The Year the Culture Broke
A decade ago, two movies changed everything
Decades of Hollywood's and the news media's chasing after uneducated youth, fostering an undiscriminating market (disguised as populism), have finally paid off with a culture in which nothing is learned or remembered. Nothing is valued past opening weekend, and the cultural fragmentation that sorts moviegoers by age, political proclivities, race, and gender cannot be mended by taste or education. All entertainment now reflects our political division.
How did we arrive at this abyss?

Zika virus is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and there is no indication that it can spread person to person through casual contact. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported several cases of Zika virus infection in non-travelers in the continental United States after their sexual partners returned from an affected area and developed symptoms.
The disease has historically occurred in Africa, Southeast Asia and islands in the Pacific Ocean. In May 2015, Zika virus was found for the time in the Western Hemisphere in northeastern Brazil. The virus has since spread through much of the Caribbean, Central America and South America. The CDC maintains an updated list of affected countries and territories as well as associated travel notices.
Most people, 80 percent, infected with Zika virus do not have any symptoms. Of those who do experience symptoms, they are usually mild and include fever, rash, joint pain or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other symptoms can include muscle pain and headache. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. Despite these relatively mild symptoms, health officials have determined that there is an association between Zika virus infections in pregnant women and birth defects.
Travel advisory for pregnant women:
Because of the association between Zika virus infections in pregnant women and certain birth defects, CDC recommends that pregnant women consider postponing travel to any area where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. More information on Zika virus and pregnancy is available on CDC's website.
Mosquito information:
The primary mosquito that transmits Zika virus is the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. This mosquito is found in the tropics and in the southern United States. It is not known to be established in Ohio. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a related mosquito that is found in Ohio and may potentially transmit Zika virus, although it has not yet been implicated in the transmission of human cases in the United States. This species was introduced into the U.S. in the 1980s and has been collected in 37 counties (see current map), and it likely occurs in other counties as well. As a precaution, it is recommended that suspected cases of Zika virus infection avoid mosquito exposure the week after symptom onset when mosquitoes are active in Ohio (May to October) in order to prevent the possibility that mosquitoes might become infected by biting an infected person and then transmitting the virus to other people. Because most people who have Zika virus will have no symptoms, it is recommended that anyone returning from travel to a Zika-affected area use repellents and otherwise avoid mosquito exposure for three weeks after they return.
The best way to avoid Zika virus infection and other mosquito-borne diseases is to prevent mosquito bites:
What travelers should know about Zika virus:
On July 29, 2016, CDC announced that it had been informed by the State of Florida that Zika virus infections in four people in one small area of Miami-Dade County were likely caused by bites of local Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The cases were likely the first known occurrence of local mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission in the continental United States. The Florida Department of Health and its partners conducted aggressive mosquito control activities in the neighborhoods of the four cases to mitigate the risk of further spread of Zika virus. CDC said that it would not designate the impacted area or the entire state of Florida as areas with active Zika virus transmission because it was believed that the area no longer had active Zika virus transmission.
All people traveling to areas with Zika virus transmission should take precautions to prevent mosquito bites. These precautions include:
In addition, travelers to areas with active Zika virus transmission should take precautions to reduce the risk of sexually transmitting the virus to their partners:

Today's New Member Special: Save $15 & Get a Tote!
Employers are offering creative perks to attract and retain today's workers.
Plus all the HR resources you need to be more efficient and effective this fall!
Prepare for your exam with the guidance of a SHRM-certified instructor in Boston, Oct. 24-26.
Learn how to make the business case for diversity, October 25-27.
Amid challenging economic times for U.S. businesses, a study of employers from the nonprofit Integrated Benefits Institute indicates that key aspects of medical and disability leave programs remained remarkably stable.
The incidence of short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) programs changed little between 2008 and 2010, and durations for STD and workers' compensation temporary disability were essentially flat, according to the study by IBI, a supplier of health and productivity research.
The study draws on IBI's benchmarking database, with data on more than 3 million claims for nearly 48,000 U.S. employer programs. To avoid confusion and misinterpretation, IBI examined results across the same employers when comparing 2010 claims results to 2008 and 2009 for short- and long-term disability and workers' compensation.
Among other findings, the study showed that in 2010 more employees took continuous federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leaves to take care of their own medical conditions, rather than intermittent leaves or time off to care for family members.
Impact of Health Reform
"Research has repeatedly shown that the full costs of health—including absence, disability, reductions in employee performance and lost productivity—can often be greater than medical and pharmacy costs combined," said Thomas Parry, president of IBI. "While there's been a great deal of discussion around the impact of health care reform and anticipated health care cost increases for employers, little has been said about the more serious threats to employer costs and business results from employee absence from work if employers opt out the health care system. Employers that opt out will eliminate their ability to work in partnership with their health plans and providers to manage the health of their workforce."
He added, "Employers need to carefully consider these broader issues in decisions about exiting the health care system. Those that continue to view medical costs in a separate and distinct program silo do so at their peril."

Sorry, I've have absolutely no idea what your point is but please don't feel the need to explain.
Perhaps If we called Mr and Mrs Average "The Squeezed Middle" (as the policy makers are fond of doing) it might help to smooth/narrow the areas for discussion.
I think it is widely acknowledged the cost of living in NI is higher (car insurance!), wages are lower, health is poorer - probably die younger too than the UK average. Little competition in electricity (especially annoying for businesses), high personal dependence on heating oil (something like 60% in NI against 30% UK average).
Living in Northern Ireland is bad for your long-term health
We are all aware of the "not available in NI" offers or free UK delivery EXCEPT...........
One of IDB's (now INI) main plank for promoting Foreign Direct Investment, not that long ago, was that NI was a low wage economy. They thought this was brilliant, and chimed with the type of businesses they wanted to attract ie call centres. Short sighted to say the least. This aspect is now subsumed in the term "competitive cost base" once Selective Financial Assistance (what we call a grant) has been factored in. Though, sadly, their 'pipe' is now blocked. Dripping but not flowing.
They'll have a harder sell when Continental pull out of Belfast 'international' Airport due to crippling Airport Passenger Duty
I think I recall people saying before the housing boom " ahh yes it's dearer there but housing costs are low" as a sort of mitigation for business. That time has long since passed. High(er) rents and housing costs must act as a powerful disincentive for investors at the best of times, but especially when most other things (except wages) are also higher. Which is where the grants, and the level of grants comes in.
You'ld think Sammy would be happy to see a cost base reducing - I don't detect any establishment enthusiasm for lower house prices/housing costs (except everyone loves cheap mortgages).
As for a highly educated workforce and leading by example, well our Deputy First Minister (ex Education Minister) has little by the way of educational qualifications and our First Minister was an Estate Agent - both with chequered backgrounds.
Just goes to show, though - we voted for them!
Anyway, I don't think NI house prices are going to rise anytime soon.
