Cubs Week in Quotations
Commence the Season
"Hey, it's Opening Day. We've got some things to find out about this group, and we'll find them out relatively quick.'' - Lou Piniella
''Words can't describe how it felt. Just awesome.'' - James Russell on his major league debut.
Quote You Only Hear from the Losing Team on Opening Day
''Opening Day don't mean anything. You want to win ballgames early in the season. The more games you win now, the less you have to win later. But it's just a game.'' - Aramis Ramirez
Is There a Draft?
"We need Zambrano to shut the door." - Lou Piniella
Maddog Love
"This Spring Training for me is very special. To have Greg Maddux around, he's my guy. ... I was asking him the other day, 'How can I throw a backdoor sinker to a lefty?' It's unbelievable -- you ask him something, and the way he answers is ... wow." - Carlos Silva
"When Greg's on your team, you're better in any role. He's got a great way about him, and he's the most successful, non-promoting person I've ever met. We can all learn from Greg." - Jim Hendry
"In every sense of the word, he's someone I aspire to be. It's just how he's so personable and knowledgeable and doesn't try to force it on you. It's almost like he breathes excellence. It's pretty cool and pretty special having him around." Randy Wells
Except Steal Their Hearts
"I haven't done nothing for them." - Greg Maddux
A Land War in Asia?
"Those things shouldn't happen." - Lou Piniella on Chad Tracy getting doubled off first on Opening Day
I Want Answers!
''We've just played two games, sir. 'We're not in our 22nd game or our 42nd. We've played two games, for God's sake. What do you want? Roles changed in two games? - Lou Piniella
Once You Lose That Trust, It's Gone Forever
"Demp pitched a heck of a ballgame, and I kind of let everyone down. But you've got to come back tomorrow and go at it again. Once you leave this place, it's over.'' - John Grabow
The Other is Where to Hide Soriano's Body
''We're going to have to sort some things out here, period. I said that coming out of spring training. And one of them is the youth that we have in the bullpen.'' - Lou Piniella
Quicksand Jesus or Jason Heyward?
''I don't want to be more impressed than I was the first day. He's impressed me enough.'' - Lou Piniella on Jason Heyward
Maybe 3 Feet
"...2-0 you're on top of the world; 0-2, you're six feet under. - Lou Piniella
Like How I Forgot How to Throw Strikes Last Year
"We learn from our mistakes. We have tomorrow. He needs to forget stuff."- Carlos Marmol on Esmailin Caridad
And Make Routine Catches
Control yourself, and that's all you have to do."- Alfonso Soriano on Esmailin Caridad
Lies, Damn Lies
"We have a good bullpen. We just have to trust them." - Carlos Zambrano
Someone Should Hang a Green Jacket in Fukudome's Locker
"He's a Masters player. That's when they play the Masters -- in April, right?" - Lou Piniella on Kosuke Fukudome
"This is the year I feel he'll break out and have a nice solid offensive year. We know he can play defense."- Lou Piniella on Kosuke Fukudome
Funky Fukudome
"The country guys play country music, the Latin guys play Latin music -- Kosuke's on the team so he should be able to play his music." - Carlos Zambrano letting Fukudome choose the music the day he starts. It's customary to let that day's starting pitcher make the choice.
Can Lou Make It Anymore Clear that He Doesn't Like Soto's Defense?
''I like Koyie, the way he calls a ballgame. He's a really good defensive catcher. When a team isn't scoring many runs, the more defense that you have on the field, the better. Is he going to catch more? We need Soto to hit. I've said that before. That's the key to this whole thing, how well Soto swings the bat. And we'll leave it at that.'' - Lou Piniella
18 Million Excuses
"I took a couple steps then hit the grass, and as soon as I hit the grass, I thought I had two more steps. I took little steps, because I didn't want to hit the wall. You know, full speed into the wall can be very dangerous." - Alfonso Soriano
"But at the last moment, I take my eyes off the ball and just think about the wall. One second, I took my eyes off the ball, and I dropped it." - Alfonso Soriano
"I've got to have a little stop, because I don't want to go into the wall. If you go full speed into the wall, it can be very dangerous." - Alfonso Soriano
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
"But it's just a game."
uh oh, some people get upset about that one... =p
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I really like this piece, I hope you can put one of these together every week or so.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
You know, Rob, Adam is right. Putting one of these together each week would be swell.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
That is if you have time between doing the pre-game write ups, the Friday recaps and finishing up my taxes, that would be just swell, Rob.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
And mow my lawn.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I thought that was my job.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
You are all racists. Probably are booing Soriano yesterday, didn't ya? DIDN'T YA?!?!?!?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Ricketts on WSCR this am-
-been reading Bill James since late 80's
-Wasserstrom is our sabre guy
-Went to DR this winter to check on things there(willing to bet first cub ownership ever down there)
-Hosts suggested that Hendry is "safe" this year and next due to previous Ricketts quotes, Ricketts reiterated that Hendry and Lou " are accountable" for this year
-Believes player development needs to be strength of the team, rather than relying on free agents "so you are not stuck with big contracts" (looking at you Sori)
-Knows Cubs have had dry spell with development(still in it)
-Says there is "flexibility" with pay roll if needed during the summer
-Does not have same options as Fenway regarding bringing in outside income(landmark status)
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
It's good to know that they're willing to spend a little if, by some miracle, they are in contention in July.
And also, I hate Albert Pujols.
Edit: "Believes player development needs to be strength of the team, rather than relying on free agents "so you are not stuck with big contracts" (looking at you Sori)"
That is an amazing quote. Clearly he's talking about Soriano. I agree with Ricketts on this point, but I would also say that having a good player development system does not excuse a big-market team from opening the wallet.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
The Soriano error was terrible, but let's not let that error distract us from all the other bullshit that happened in that game.
Loading the bases up in the first with zero outs and letting Cincy off the hook? A team that does that doesn't deserve to win. Ridiculous. Walking in runs? F' that.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Sori made the last out of the first inning.
~piling on I know~
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Had Ramirez or Byrd done what Soriano did, we at least get a run.
Byrd sort of sucks, that's to be expected, but the pitch that Ramirez swung at - and tried to pull - that's just not the smart hitting I expect from Aram-Ram.
Rookie, making his ML debut - bases loaded and no outs in the first and they let him off the hook - who oculd do that other than the Cubs?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I'm not trying to excuse Soriano for anything. I'm just saying let's not forget all the other bs in that game.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
7th game, I count one start for Colvin so far - is that right?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
No started against Reds Homer Bailey. Lefty pitching today.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
2 starts, which is within the 2-3 games a week range that Piniella gave. I, however, think 2 is not enough. If they don't want to stall his development, he needs to start at least 3-4 and get into most of the other games off the bench as well, especially if he's going to sit against all left-handed pitchers.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Facing a southpaw today seemed to wake up the bats. The Cubs don't usually beat up on Doug Davis. (He's 9-6 against us lifetime with a 3.20 ERA.) Newcomers Byrd, Nady and Baker may present a problem for lefties. We may see fewer lefty starters than usual during the season.
Colvin had another walk today, although he swung at a bad pitch (he likes those low ones) during the at-bat.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
On a more positive note, although it's debatable whether or not getting more access to Cubs games is a positive, I subscribed to MLB Premium and can now watch the games from my iphone and was surprised at the good quality.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I also have MLB Premium, but am blacked out for all Brewers games because I live in Wisconsin. And my apartment building's cable package does not carry the Brewers' channel. Annoying.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Though I am generally not a proponent of pirated media- when there's a series of circumstances that conspire against you like that, what else can you do? Someone can probably find you a site that broadcasts the Brewers' channel.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
In the first inning, the Cubs work Davis for 27 pitches. I'm feeling good about that.
2nd inning, Soriano and Baker see a grand total of what, 2, 3 pitches? And they both ground out to the right side.
Is there any game plan at all?
Maybe we need a hitting mechanics coach and another hitting strategy coach. And somebody to press the button on the shock collar remote when guys err from the path without a good reason (like a hanging slider or fastball down the middle).
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I hate Byrd's swing.
Anybody know if he has any power at all to RF? He looks like he shouldn't.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
If you look at his hit chart from last year at home - http://cubs.mlb.com/stats/individual_player_h...
You can see almost all of his HR's were to left (left center) and his two triples were to right center. His doubles and fly outs were more evenly dispersed. His groundouts were almost all to the left side. I would guess when he's trying to hit a HR he's going to be pretty pull-conscience.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Not a terrible thing on a day when the wind is blowing right to left, though.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Can we get Millar back!?!!!?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Some comments on watching the game:
After he singled to left in the 2nd, I saw Soto shaking out his left hand as he returned to first after his turn. It was his left hand/wrist that he hurt at the end of 2008, wasn't it? I wondered if that was a manifestation of that same injury or was it just a stinging from a "bees in the bat" situation. Or possibly both? I know there has been some speculation about whether Soto is still having injury problems with his hand. A left hand injury would definitely affect one's power. Something worth watching.
What were they thinking? On Soriano's single off McGehee in the 4th, Vargas had a 1-2 count on him and had just got him to swing and miss on a (what else?) slider low and away. The next pitch? Zaun, the catcher sets up INSIDE and Vargas throws a thigh-high fastball on the inner third of the plate, which Sori smokes on a line off 3B McGehee's body for an infield single. I don't know if they just missed location on the pitch and intended to waste a fastball off the plate inside, but why they (or anybody) wouldn't just throw him another slider low and away, I just don't know. I know you got to mix things up sometimes to keep from being too predictable, but I would wait until Sori actually starts to HIT that pitch before I started mixing things up.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Up and in I would understand, but Zaun was set up low and inside. It was just a head-scratcher.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Another Soriano- related question: Has anyone EVER seen him successfully check his swing and not be rung up by the umpire? I've just come to the conclusion that he is constitutionally incapable of doing so.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
dude swings a very heavy and long bat...it's gonna be hard.
he's using a new bat this season thanks to rules that length/weight requirements that can only be "3" +/- from each other.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
42 ounce bat I believe?
I'm no hitting instructor but I would suggest a lighter bat.
Alfonso Soriano
Alfonso Soriano is turning into the Michael Barrett of 2010.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Does that mean that Zambrano will slug him and we'll trade him for a decent prospect then take off in the standings?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I bring up these things about Sori even though I like the guy. He's just like a damn Ferrari -- great capabilities but quirky as hell, VERY high maintenance and a lot of work to get it to perform at its best (so I hear). I wonder if he has ever been checked out for ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). Stuff like the "hop" before catching a routine fly helping him concentrate sounds very much like classic ADHD coping behavior. If he does have it, some medication may help him decrease some of that "scatterbrained" behavior. Now that the Cubs have a psychiatrist on staff, they may have someone who could look into that (if he is very familiar with classic ADD/ADHD symptomology).
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
I know your question was a joke, but if you were so inclined you could just take the under on whatever Vegas has for their season win total.
Ya know, if gambling were legal and all.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
he walked last week too.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Hey, Double Play! Cubs Win!
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Good thing, too. Marmol was starting to give me a stomach ulcer again. 10 pitches, 4 strikes, 6 balls (incl. a HBP). So what else is new?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Ah, the Marmol angst. Gotta love it, especially after how dominant he was in Cincy.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Yeah, why wouldn't anyone forget the 77 free base runners in 74 innings last year based on one good inning in Cincy over the weekend?
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Wow, when you put it that way... that's wretched.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Of course not. But it was his third game of the year, he didn't allow a run and there's a complaint about him, immediately after he had a great outing. Just thought it was a little quick.
Off Topic
"Mark McGwire drew a standing ovation before the Cardinals' home opener Monday, a clear sign many St. Louis fans have forgiven the former home run king for using steroids."
More like don't care that he used steroids, while playing for them.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
there's a lot to learn from the roid-era...
...most specifically that you'll still get paid, whatever team hires you will still love you, and you'll be welcome back to coach the game.
i'm sorry...what am i supposed to learn from all these roid commercials besides my balls might shrivel up? all i'm learning from the real world is you get paid and you might not make the HOF.
these roiders are not only not shunned by our community, they're forgiven and celebrated.
jason giambi is an embarrassment to the game, yet no one has an issue giving the guy work. mark mcgwire is a cheating piece of shit who dragged others through the mud while he waited over a decade to come clean...standing O, yall.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
Hey, Hey! The Cubs are undefeated at home.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
GO Cubs!!!
Aww man, they need to just get rid of everybody. @#$@!!
Yay!!! Cubs win!!!
!#%#@ bullpen... f* this...
Awesome win!
#$@@#!@ Soriano. What a bastard....
Go Cubs!!!
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
WHATEVER. this turnaround is ___________ (insert coach's name) victory in spite of the faults of ___________ (insert coach's name).

X-rays of #Cubs Derrek Lee's right thumb were negative and he's listed as day to day. No fracture. He originally hurt it last Wed in Atlanta

Jake Fox is the A's DH tonight vs mariners.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
CUBSTER and I in Attendance.
The Good: The offense! Soriano with a SINGLE! The X-Man commeth today. Decent relief by youngsters. Soto nails Weeks. Best weather I can remember for an opener since HS.
The Bad: Doug Davis turns every AB into a ten minute affair. Theriot trying to steal 3b on a ground out to Fielder.
Re: Cubs Week in Quotations
i just noticed the pitching chart on the right. that is really cool. What a great usage of google docs.

Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.

I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.
boston pitching snags a couple of mlb team records...
"Over nine innings of play, Boston's staff struck out 11 straight Tampa Bay Rays hitters Sunday, breaking the major-league record for most consecutive strikeouts in a game.
The previous record was held by former New York Mets right-hander Tom Seaver, who struck out 10 straight hitters in 1970.
Not only that, but with a strikeout to end the ninth, sending the game into extras, Boston's staff also struck out an MLB-record 21 batters over nine innings."
What a loss to baseball, which I'm sure pales in comparison to the personal loss to his loved ones.
Somehow I am sensing alcohol was involved. The highest number of boating accidents by a wide margin...

Be the Messageby Rick Warren Chris Shook Kerry Shook
Maybe you're troubled by the disconnect between the words you speak and the life you live. Maybe you'd like to see your faith become more active and life-changing in the world around you. Pastor Kerry and Chris Shook felt that way. Even though their calling involved preaching and teaching, they became weary of sermons and words. They felt a gap between what they were saying and the needs of people around them. They decided to do something about it. Be the Message is their story of waking up to the gospel--not just a gospel of words and sermons, but the gospel of intention and action and people. They discovered a profound secret: You Are the Gospel As they explored the deeper truths of scripture, the verse "the word of God lives in you" came alive. Digging deeper, they discovered that the gospel message is really about life message--your life lived out. God's call to you is simple: Be the Message Be the Message opens up a new world of understanding about what God calls you to. As the Shooks learned, the gospel is not about what you say. It's about who you are and what you do--and how you can be God's hands and feet in the world. What would happen if we talked about God less and walked with God more? Be the Message reminds us that Christianity was meant to be a faith of action, not a faith of words. Yet often we sacrifice doing something for the sake of talking about it. When we actually act out on our faith, we find our faith grows even more. You can do more than nothing. People's lives are changed when you allow your life to be the gospel to the world. Living out the gospel in the world today is both simple and costly. The Shooks explore that paradox through biblical stories and their own experience of making a decision to live out the gospel in practical ways. Choosing to be the gospel changed their family, church and personal relationships with God. How can it change your life?
Be the Message Devotionalby Chris Shook Kerry Shook
The Gospel is not a well-crafted sermon. It is a life well lived. It is you. Drawn from the book Be the Message, this thirty-day devotional will help you cultivate your life message and live it out. Over the course of a life-changing month, you will learn how the messes in your life can become a door of hope, discover new ways to love those in front of you, and find out how God is calling you to take a stand in the world. Using Scripture, illustrations, and practical action steps, the Be the Message Devotional can bring you to a deeper understanding of how your life can make a difference and be the gospel to the world. How will God live out his message through you?From the Hardcover edition.
Beauty Begins: Making Peace with Your Reflectionby Chris Shook Megan Shook Alpha
You are, and always have been, beautiful. "Beauty begins. That's the point of this book. Our understanding of beauty got started somewhere and somehow, and probably due to someone. Now that may have been a good start, but then again it may not have. But regardless of what your past looks like, we want to offer up this word of hope: it's never too late to make peace with your reflection." We live in a culture that's obsessed with beauty. Walk by any magazine stand, turn on a television, or visit the local shopping mall, and you'll be bombarded with the images and ideals that our culture believes are the epitome of what it means to be beautiful. And if you're like most women, you've probably spent countless hours trying to measure up to this standard of beauty whether you realize it or not. But if you don't make peace with your reflection, you'll end up declaring war on yourself. That's where mother-daughter team, Chris and Megan Shook, want to help. In Beauty Begins, they explore the origins of beauty (hint, it didn't start with a fashion magazine) and challenge each of us to trade the pressure of perfection for God's perfect love. Poignant, relevant, and relatable, Beauty Begins is for every woman who wants to reclaim what it means to be truly beautiful. Do you feel beautiful? When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Others may tell you that you're beautiful, but do you believe them? Why not? Don't let another day go by without believing and knowing that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. It's time for you to exchange society's cookie-cutter suggestions for what is beautiful and instead discover and reclaim what true beauty looks like - and the One who created it. In Beauty Begins, Chris and Megan Shook share with you their own experiences and struggles with appearance and body image, as well as equip you with the wisdom to distinguish what's artificial beauty and what's real. Filled with heartfelt encouragement, insightful challenges, and undeniable truth, after reading Beauty Begins, you'll never look in the mirror the same way again.
Love at Last Sight: 30 Days to Grow and Deepen Your Closest Relationshipsby Chris Shook Kerry Shook

By learning to be present in the moment, acting intentionally, risking awkwardness, and learning to let go, you'll discover wisdom from the Bible that contradicts what popular culture would have you believe.

One Month to Loveby Chris Shook Kerry Shook
Improve your most important relationships--starting today. At the end of the day in this all-too-short life, what matters most is relationships. Spouse, parent, child, friend--whoever your closest loved ones are, they warrant more than a passing glance; they deserve an intentional and meaningful relationship with you. The One Month to Love thirty-day challenge is the greatest adventure you'll ever take, helping you deepen the important relationships in your life. Authors Kerry and Chris Shook use timeless, biblical wisdom to walk through three stages of relationships: First Glance, Second Look, and Lasting Love. Many of us have launched into the exciting First Glance phase. When we then tiptoe into the Second Look, reality sets in, and often friendships weaken, families suffer, marriages crack. Now learn how to experience the deep, satisfying lifelong relationships of lasting love. All it takes is one chapter a day. If your marriage is broken, restoration is possible. If your friendship is frail, a fresh start is possible. Even if you've made mistakes in all your relationships, lasting love is still possible. "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Includes a weekly focus and daily readings to guide you through the process.

Skip to comments.ACLU Shocked at Bush Use of National Security Agency for Domestic Spying...
Posted on 12/16/2005 6:31:55 PM PST by Jay777
click here to read article
Aren't you the slightest bit suspicious of an organization like that one which has such a big mouth but was not targeted by AlQaida for anything?
The ACLU is ANTI-CHRISTIAN......period.....so they can't last forever!
No, I didn't read that article. I read another one somewhere else and I can't remember right now where it was. The net is so full of information that I simply cannot keep track of everything.
I don't think that is very practical...
Didn't Janet Shake and Bake Reno want or have a program that listened in on CITIZENS if they said key words like"Assassination...Kill Clinton...Money laundring....murder the President"?? It has a code word, but I can't rember it.
And they were started by Evan Thomas' COMMUNIST grandfather!!
Roger Baldwin..
Jeeez Louise...is that Zibignew's littel boy I see on the TV?
ACLU shocked by Bush/NSC domestic surveillance?? How can ANYONE be shocked? As soon as Echelon was invented, it was going to be used domestically, anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
My concern also. The Bush White House must learn to go on the offensive QUICKLY, and not give in to those who seek to destroy them.
Speaking of destroying, they need to politically destroy Sen. Specter-make an example of him.
We are war; not just in Iraq; but right here at home. . .the 'grass roots' is going to have to respond en masse here. . .
Where in the constitution does it mention electronic evesdropping? I can tell you that anything you say on a radio is fair game.
Not as pretty, but this works as well:
American Communist Lawyers Union. . .
Hey silly little lib, I worked with the NSA for twenty years doing special ops in the Navy, and yes during the Clinton years we did the exact same thing, only we were looking for drug traffickers. INTERNATIONAL CALLS and EMAILS is the key (and yes that does include electronic transmissions between CONUS and OUTUS, not just OUTUS to OUTUS) The NSA has been doing this since day one, it's their job, it's their charter. ONLY the CIA is prohibited from spying on U.S. citizens, the other 12 agencies have dispensation to investigate within the U.S. as per their charters.
To all the idiot libs:
Catch a clue, bother to learn to read while your at college.
hmmm, just four years after the bolshevik revolution. Damn, Stalin moved fast or was it Berria that set up the ACLU?
You are an idiot and probably a dim(U)wit. No reposible conservative on FR would adhere to that position.
Well then, according to your post, leaks are perfectly ok and legal.
I think leaks are counterproductive and nigh on treason...
I just don't think you can stop them unless you literally duct tape peoples mouths shut.
Your idea of killing them is just not practical.
I hope they were spying on ACLU's New York headquarters.
Good citizens and patriots have nothing to fear.
I think you replied to the wrong person.
I'm well aware of Marx and Engels historically & of the ideas of the previous 3 centuries of writers whom or envisioned classless societies and/or utopias.
My comment was was partially injest and partially a rhetorical question in that the Soviet communist party probably had some influence (though not the primary driving force) in the founding of the ACLU.
I'm not a Constitutional lawyer but I'll wager that a president has the authority in time of war or if there is a threat to national security to order surveillance operations without court orders.
Thanks for the info.

Could've been better.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Loaded (Audio CD)
After listening to their previous three records, I was glad to finally hear this album as part of the Peel Slowly box set. It certainly isn't inoffensive; now matter how commercial the Velvets ever got, that adjective is not something that would describe them. But it is somewhat neutered. Not because of new drummer Billy Yule, who is far better than Moe Tucker, by the way, but simply the album doesn't have enough strong songs and lackluster production.
I needn't restate what virtually every other reviewer has said: "Sweet Jane" and "Rock 'n Roll" are classics. 'Nuff said. "Cool it Down," "Lonesome Cowboy Bill," and "I Found a Reason" are very underrated tunes in the VU cannon. "New Age," "Who Loves the Sun," and "Oh!Sweet Nuthin'" are good, but rather overrated. "Train 'Round the Bend" and "Head Held High" are mediocre throwaways.
Overall, a listenable album with two stone cold classics ("Sweet Jane" sounds even better on the Peel Slowly box set in its full-length version) and a few other good tunes. But it's not a rock 'n roll classic.

Domantas Sabonis — son of former Portland Trail Blazers center Arvydas Sabonis — plans to visit Arizona State this weekend.
Sabonis, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward, is from Lithuania, but wants to attend college in the United States, possibly enrolling in time for the 2014-15 season.
In the recent U18 European Championships, Sabonis averaged 14 points and 11.4 rebounds, shooting 55.4 percent from the field in nine games. In a 74-70 win over Serbia, he posted 22 points and 22 rebounds.
Sabonis, 17, also has drawn reported interest from Oregon and Gonzaga.
Arvydas Sabonis, once considered among the top European players of his era, played in Portland from 1995 to 2003, averaging 12 points and 7.3 rebounds.

Miley Cyrus: I don't think MTV VMAs are 'ever gonna ask me back'
'Remember only God can judge ya'
Reflecting on her biggest moment of 2013, Miley Cyrus said in an interview this week that her controversial MTV VMAs performance may have long-term consequences.
"I was pretty stoked to perform there," Cyrus told Power 96.1's Sonic following her Jingle Ball appearance in Atlanta. "I doubt they're ever gonna ask me back. But just kidding...I don't know."
The buzz about her nearly-naked, bump-and-grind VMAs set with Robin Thicke, where they performed their hits "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines," quickly evolved into "the twerk heard round the world." The foam finger-assisted stunt was conveniently timed just before the release of her new album "Bangerz."
"It kind of just opened so many doors for me to be like, alright, I already pissed you off as much as I possibly can," Cyrus said. "So, now I can kind of just be freer and kind of do whatever it is that we want to do."
Do you think the VMAs performance helped or hurt Miley? Would MTV really hold it against her?

Résumé :
Cžanne to Van Gogh is published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, during the summer of 1999. For the first time, the collection amassed by Gachet, originally unveiled in 1954, is being exhibited outside of France, and in this catalog it is published in its entirety. The collection contains paintings, drawings, prints, copies, and such souvenirs as the palettes of Cžanne and van Gogh, as well as the actual still-life objects seen in many of their paintings. This volume includes informative essays by both French and American curators as well as a wealth of new information, including the detailed results of new technical studies using macrophotography and x-radiography. A 328-page hardcover overflowing with 500 illustrations, 117 in color, Cžanne to Van Gogh is both the fascinating story of a unique collection and a major contribution to the study of postimpressionist art in late-19th-century France.

text: Hi, Here is officially the proposal for library functions for searching and handling of binaries. I have been told that it is better to have many smaller EEPS than a large EEP trying to cover everything. In that spirit this EEP does not include any suggestions which would require changes to the compiler, although several such changes has been suggested to me. There is plenty of material for future EEPs with pattern matching and regular expressions combined, for instance. There is probably also room for further EEP:s on efficient transformation of binaries, e.g. for writing encryption algorithms or codecs. The main focus of this EEP, however, is the introduction of efficient search functions for binaries, including regular expressions. Also included are a number of support functions for binaries discussed on the erlang mailing list over the years.

Nationwide drivers boosted by new backers
2011 Nascar Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr has received additional sponsorship for the 2012 season in the form of Sam's Club and its Member's Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve brands.
Having served as the primary sponsor of Stenhouse Jr's Nationwide No.6 entry at last weekend's Feed the Children 300 in Kentucky, Sam's Club and its brands will also support the driver at Indianapolis in July and at Kansas in October.
"I am thrilled to have Sam's Club back on our Mustang this year," said Stenhouse Jr. "Cargill has been a huge supporter of our No. 6 team the past two years. We hope to bring recognition to Sam's exclusive brands of Member's Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve by putting them in victory lane."
Elsewhere, Stenhouse Jr's fellow Nascar Nationwide driver Blake Koch has received backing for this weekend's Subway Jalapeño 250 at Daytona from precious metals purchasing service SilverSaver, which will serve as primary sponsor, and from apparel brand Salt Life, which will take up an associate sponsor position.
"I'm so pumped to be racing at Daytona next month in the SilverSaver No.82 Dodge," said Koch. "It's great to have a new sponsor like SilverSaver on board for the race. They are the ones making it possible for me to race and I couldn't be more thankful for their support."
Commenting on the separate deal with Florida-based Salt Life, Koch said: "I've been endorsing Salt Life for years, and it's a brand I love and believe in. I'm so excited to have them on my car for Daytona as an associate sponsor."

Houston Rockets
Southwest Division
Houston Rockets Power Rankings - 2015-16
|Power Ranking
|Week 24
|The NBA's 16-team playoff field could be set by Monday night in the worst-case scenario for the Rockets, should they lose in Minnesota to a Wolves team fresh off wins in Golden State and Portland and if Utah beats visiting Dallas. Making the playoffs, mind you, can only fix so much; Houston knows it's facing a long, tough offseason with or without a first-round series against the Warriors or Spurs.
|Week 23
|Give Houston this much in its three-team battle with Dallas and Utah for the final two spots in the Western Conference: Wednesday's crucial visit to Big D is the only game of the five left on the Rockets' schedule against a team currently occupying a playoff berth. The Jazz have three such games left (all at home) ... while Houston ranks as the weakest remaining opponent on the Mavs' schedule record-wise.
|Week 22
|When Houston hosts Chicago on Thursday night, you'll be looking at two teams that began the season with a preseason over/under in the 50s in Las Vegas and now find themselves scuffling just to finish eighth in their respective conferences. Last week's fall-from-ahead home loss to Utah was the third time this season that the Rockets squandered an 18-point (or bigger) lead.
|Week 21
|We're going to need more time to get to the bottom of the bizarre Dwight Howard "Stickum" story. In the interim, since it's NCAA tournament time, we pass along this bit of relevant trivia knowing that Rockets fans, weary of this season's many dramas, are looking for inspiration anywhere they can find it: Houston teammates Jason Terry and Corey Brewer rank as two of the seven active NBA players to win a championship in both college and the pros alongside San Antonio's Danny Green, Golden State's Brandon Rush and Marreese Speights, Oklahoma City's Nazr Mohammed and the recently felled Mario Chalmers.
|Week 20
|Leave it to the Committee's NBA.com counterpart John Schuhmann to dig up a gem like this one: Houston has somehow managed to take a lead into the second quarter zero times in its past 16 -- SIXTEEN! -- games. Yet the state of the most disappointing Western Conference in memory gives James Harden and his Rockets hope of finishing as high as No. 6 despite ongoing woes on D.
|Week 19
|Part of what makes Golden State's Sunday afternoon demise in Lakerland so hard to comprehend is the fact that Houston just beat New Orleans in a game in which the Rockets started 0-for-15 from deep, made two of their next three 3-pointers and then missed 15 more in a row before Patrick Beverley got one to go down in a 3-for-34 showing that ranks as the worst of all time.
|Week 18
|It took a 34-point second half from James Harden, and thus the fifth 40-point game of his career against the Trail Blazers, for Houston to turn around last week's trip to Portland and ensure that the Rockets didn't get swept on the road by the two teams closest to them in the West standings. But they still seem plenty ripe to be squeezed out of the playoffs by the Mavs, Blazers and Jazz.
|Week 17
|After they elected not to trade Dwight Howard, this is a huge week for the Rockets. The team pegged to finish No. 3 in the West by ESPN Forecast has to visit both Utah and Portland in the increasingly tight race for the last few playoff spots in the West, with Portland just one win away from clinching the head-to-head tiebreak just like the Blazers did Sunday night against the Jazz.
|Week 16
|We'll soon learn if the Rockets are headed from "broken," as interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff describes them, to broken up. It's not the first time we've ever said this in mid-February, but no team out there is more motivated to make a deadline deal than the Rockets, who are suddenly under .500 and looking up at a No. 8 seed that only sets you up for a first-round date with Golden State.
|Week 15
|As covered last week in great detail in conjunction with our pal Calvin Watkins, all the current signals suggest that the Rockets are more likely than not to keep Dwight Howard beyond the Feb. 18 trade deadline. Yet it's undeniably factual to point out that the Rockets are 5-0 in 2016 when Howard isn't in uniform ... compared to 6-8 when he is available.
|Week 14
|Really thought the Rockets, at worst, would be ahead of their old friends from Dallas by now. The Mavs, though, have managed to cling to a three-game lead over Houston in the West standings despite a rough 9-9 January in which they were moved to give Dirk Nowitzki five games off for rest. Defense remains a huge issue (tied for 27th), and Houston's February is filled with road games.
|Week 13
|As much as the Clippers clearly wanted to exile Josh Smith, you have to wonder if they'll regret helping the Rockets. Houston is the one place J-Smoove seems to fit (and maybe the only team willing to take him), but it's not hard to picture the Rockets rising to No. 5 in the West by season's end and forcing a first-round showdown with none other than Doc Rivers' Clips.
|Week 12
|The Rockets have been playing at a noticeably slower pace during their 6-1 uptick, but we know you'd probably prefer to hear something about James Harden. So here goes: For all the areas his numbers have suffered compared to last season, as detailed by our ESPN Insider gang, this one jumped off the page: Harden averages 8.1 more PPG in wins (31.5) than he does in losses (23.4).
|Week 11
|After an 11-game run in which he averaged just 11.4 PPG, Dwight Howard might finally be regaining a slice of prominence in the Rockets' orbit. In his past five outings, Howard has averaged 22.0 PPG, 14.2 RPG and, perhaps more notably, 38.8 MPG. We should also note, though, that Houston is 11-4 when James Harden scores 30-plus points, compared to 8-15 when he doesn't.
|Week 10
|The degree of difficultly opposition-wise hasn't exactly been easy, but the Rockets have indeed squandered every ounce of momentum they hoped to bottle from that Christmas Day W over mighty San Antonio. Although that's the only loss the Spurs have suffered in their past 12 games, Houston is 0-4 since and right back in the bottom five in defensive efficiency.
|Week 9
|We finally saw what this team is capable of in home wins over the Clippers and Spurs within the span of a week. Then we saw regression to the lackadaisical nature that put the Rockets in such a hole in Saturday night's loss at New Orleans. For more, we refer you to these tweets for the latest James Harden and Dwight Howard trends.
|Week 8
|The West amazingly has only two teams at the minute with winning records against .500-or-better opposition, but the Rockets have quietly inched as close to break even as anyone else in the conference at 6-8. We might need the rest of the season, though, to figure out how these guys went 0-5 against Denver and Brooklyn.
|Week 7
|Sixers, Knicks, Pelicans, Mavericks, Kings, Wizards, Lakers. Those are the teams Houston has toppled in this 7-2 surge back to .500, which is what stops know-it-alls like us from proclaiming the Rockets healed. Ongoing issues on D (27th overall) don't help, but J.B. Bickerstaff is starting to get a better response with some new-look lineups.
|Week 6
|You have to know that the Rockets are going to be active after such a bumpy start, but they're up to 10-2 now then when they score 100-plus points, compared to 0-9 when they fail to crack triple digits. As for James Harden: The Beard was shooting 34.4 percent in fourth quarters for before Friday's late clinching outburst at hated Dallas.
|Week 5
|A frantic comeback against Portland in J.B Bickerstaff's first game in charge. A fortuitous home escape against lowly Philly after throwing away a double-digit lead. And an OT win at MSG that was its own roller-coaster. Those are the Ws in Houston's 3-3 response to a coaching change that hasn't changed nearly as much as management was hoping.
|Week 4
|This was a top-12 team in offensive and defensive efficiency last season. These Rockets are 27th on O, tied for 26th on D and, only adding to the panic, enjoyed the sort of bounce you'd expect after a coaching change for all of a quarter (plus OT) against Portland. Kevin McHale's ouster won't be the last big move we see here if this keeps up.
|Week 3
|Losses to Denver home and away. The only team, in 10 tries, that failed to beat Brooklyn. And a pushover Saturday night at home to hated Dallas -- with Dirk Nowitzki, Wes Matthews and Chandler Parsons all resting. The Rockets will need some turnaround in the next two weeks to dodge November's Biggest Disappointment status.
|Week 2
|In Houston's first three games, James Harden scored slightly more than 20 percent of the Rockets' points. In the next four, all wins, Harden scored 33.9 percent of the Rockets' points. You figure better balance is preferable in the long term, but Houston's launch was so rough that multiple wins were needed by any means necessary.
|Week 1
|In a week of stunners -- even by the unpredictable standards the NBA is known to deliver in the embryonic stages of its 82-game schedule -- Houston's 0-3 launch tops the list of hard-to-process developments. Worse than the results and the Rockets' various injuries, though, is the sense that team spirit is somehow already lacking.
|The Rockets are the pick here to win the Southwest, thanks largely to their enviable depth and how much easier that makes coping with the 82-game schedule. But they'll face as many fit questions as the Spurs with Aldridge after James Harden and Ty Lawson were sixth and seventh last season in total touches.
|Training Camp
|The Rockets are the reigning champs of Texas based on their playoff success. Now imagine if James Harden cedes some of the playmaking to Ty Lawson without complaint ... and if Lawson flourishes as a second playmaker ... and if Dwight Howard, Pat Beverley and Donatas Motiejunas stay healthy. Dangerous.

What seems like an all night party becomes a deadly battle in the streets when Gary Grieco goes from young unemployed actor to head bouncer at one of LA's hottest clubs in a matter of weeks.
Surrounded suddenly by all the cash, women and drugs he could want, he has only one loyalty - to Dirk Gueron, the head of all the LA bouncers, the leader of the Knights. But on these streets, loyalty is short lived and when Gary gets an offer from a rival club he has to choose between the power he desires and the man who gave him his only chance.

Recycling for fun and profit
Hillary Clinton may well run for president in 2016. Or she may not. But while the nation awaits her decision, both jittery Republican politicians and titillated political journalists — often in concert — will seize upon any excuse to recycle those old "Clinton scandals."
The latest trip around this endless loop began when Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican of extremist pedigree and nebulous appeal, deflected a question about his party's "war on women" by yapping about Monica Lewinsky, the former "inappropriate" playmate of Bill Clinton. Then the Free Beacon, a right-wing Washington tabloid, published some old papers about the "ruthless" Hillary and the "loony toon Monica" from the archives of the late Diane Blair, a longtime and intimate Arkansas friend of the Clintons.
Suddenly, the media frenzy of the '90s resumed, as if there had never even been a pause.
What was truly bizarre in Paul's outburst was his suggestion that somehow Hillary Clinton is implicated in the Lewinsky affair (which he and others have wrongly characterized as "harassment" or victimization of the young White House intern). Most voters will consider that kind of insinuation more repulsive than persuasive.
Still, there were other long-running pseudo-scandals that featured Hillary Clinton. Are we doomed to revisit every crackpot allegation and conspiracy theory? Very likely so, if only because that brand of moonshine brought in wads and wads of money from the same credulous wingnuts who follow Fox News. Last week, many of them surely sent money to Paul or clicked on the Free Beacon.
The Clintons are still big box office in the mainstream media as well. Our historical amnesia will make the old charges against them sound new again. And if there's a sucker born every minute, a lot of minutes have passed since they left the White House.
To prepare for the coming tsunami of bull-bleep, a brief guide to past scandals may prove useful. Then when another lightweight politician or television personality starts spouting about Whitewater or Filegate or Travelgate — about which he or she actually knows approximately nothing — pertinent facts will be available. (For the longer version, with colorful narrative, consult "The Hunting of the President.")
WHITEWATER: Kenneth Starr spent roughly millions of dollars trying to find evidence of chicanery in a land deal that lost money for the Clintons — and his probe ended up demonstrating their innocence, like several earlier investigations. Having whispered to gullible journalists that he was about to indict Hillary in December 1996, Starr instead abruptly resigned as independent counsel in February 1997, knowing he had no case against her.
Indeed, the Clintons have undergone more thorough and invasive financial vetting than any couple in American history, from the exhaustive Starr investigation through Hillary's Senate financial disclosures to the Clinton Foundation donors disclosed before her nomination as Secretary of State.
TRAVELGATE: Feverish coverage of Hillary Clinton's firing of several White House employees who handled press travel arrangements neglected some salient facts — such as the suspicious absence of accounting records for millions of dollars expended by the White House Travel Office, the Travel Office director's offer to plead guilty to embezzlement, and evidence that he had accepted lavish gifts from an air charter company. The first lady and her staff didn't handle the controversy skillfully, but she had plenty of reason to suspect chicanery. And again, exhaustive investigation found no intentional wrongdoing by her.
FILEGATE: Sensational accusations that Hillary Clinton had ordered up FBI background files to target political opponents soon became a Republican and media obsession, with respectable figures warning that Filegate would be the Clintons' Watergate. "Where's the outrage?" cried Bob Dole, the 1996 Republican presidential nominee. Starr investigated the matter and found no evidence of wrongdoing. Finally, in 2010, a Reagan-appointed federal judge mockingly dismissed a civil lawsuit based on the allegations, saying "there's no there there."
In truth, there never was.

Pelosi, however, said she'd much prefer a grand bargain to sequestration.
"I don't want that to happen," she said. "It's a blunt, crude way to do it. We could do it more finely, with more establishing of priorities, if we were to do it in the committee."
The remarks arrive with just six days left before the deficit panel's deadline for reaching an agreement to slash deficits by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years. If a majority of the supercommittee cannot agree to a deal, it will trigger automatic cuts of that same amount.
More than 100 House lawmakers from both parties — along with almost 50 senators from both sides — have urged the 12 members of the panel to reach far beyond its mandate and instead cut in the area of $4 trillion.
Last week, Republicans offered a $1.2 trillion plan that includes $250 billion in new tax revenues if the Bush-era tax rates are extended beyond their 2013 expiration date.
Democrats have rejected that offer, arguing that any plan to slash entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid would have to be balanced out by significant tax hikes, particularly on the wealthiest Americans.
Rep. Xavier BecerraXavier BecerraHispanic Dems 'disappointed' with party's Latino outreach Pelosi will vote to override Obama veto on Saudi 9/11 bill GOPers fear trillion-dollar vote is inevitable MORE (Calif.), a Democratic member of the supercommittee, suggested this week that there's not enough time before the panel's Nov. 23 deadline to bridge the partisan divide on taxes. He said the committee members are mulling a plan to kick tax reform back to Congress next year.
"With time quickly expiring it becomes more difficult to package something big ... and have the Congressional Budget Office be able to score it," Becerra said Tuesday. "And so you hear more and more [among supercommittee members] the talk about trying to do some of it now, a down-payment now, and the rest later with some instructions to the Congress on how you get it done."

tried to trade for the past 4 weeks, even for the worst player on another team, no bites. now the trade deadline's passed.
Add Mike Wallace to that list

I'll trade you Wallace for deadweight Alfred Morris!
I was just coming to the forum here to say the exact same thing. He's had 2 good weeks so far total.
Trade him for a Defense. or Kicker, Anyone. then drop that player. Nope if you started No Cut TS live with it. I would pitch a chit too. And in a $$ league that's pretty amateur. Only reason for Not Cut is to prevent a rookie move or keep people from dumping players. Better luck next year. No Cut deal breaker every time.
INDEED!- have other players to rotate so hasnt become an issue yet however the fact is if steve smith and reggie wayne arent on the list then i would LOVE to hear the logic behind this boner- and dont try and sell me that "hes the biggest threat KC has" #$%$- ive been doing this tooooo long
