"while sitting on brighton beach (UK) back in 2005 with my new girlfriend, verity, i thought the view of our feet pointing out to sea would make a nice photo. ever since then we've continued to document our travels in this way, resulting in a collection of over 100 photos. in 2011 the series took a new twist with the arrival of a third set of feet – our daughter matilda. you can already see her little feet getting bigger and bigger." - text and photos by tom robinson

Strategy-Proofness and the Strict Core in a Market with Indivisibilities
AbstractWe show that, in markets with indivisibilties (typified by the Shapley-Scarf housing market), the strict core mechanism is categorically determined by three assumptions: individual rationality, Pareto optimality and strategy-proofness.

EU leaders are expected to fully approve Croatia's accession at a summit on 23-24 June.
Croatia is the second post-Yugoslavian state to join after Slovenia, which joined in 2007.
According to Bloomberg, Croatian Premier Jadranka Kosor now faces the task of both convincing Croatians that strict budget cuts are worth EU membership, and convincing EU members that Croatian membership won't cause a similar influx of crime like the one that followed Bulgaria's membership.
Once a member, Croatia will be able to access 1.5 billion euros ($2.2 billion) allocated to it in the EU's 2013 budget.

Kelly Clarkson talks music's trials and triumphs
Kelly Clarkson
No one had to put one of the nine guns Kelly Clarkson owns to her head to get her to appear on The Voice. The American Idol veteran, who recently talked to National Public Radio in the U.S. about her gun collection and the fact that she sleeps with a Colt .45 under her pillow, was more than happy to accept a recurring advisory role on the hit TV talent show where celebrity judges, including her pal, country star Blake Shelton, sit in chairs with their backs turned to the singers and choose talent based on voice alone.
"I am obsessed with that show," Clarkson admits. "I just want to audition and I want to see how many chairs will turn around. I'm, like, so competitive."
Clarkson was in Toronto recently ahead of a couple of Southern Ontario concert dates. The "Mr. Know It All" singer is on the road in North America until April touring her fifth album, Stronger, which came out last fall to generally positive reviews and sales of well over 600,000 in North America so far. But The Voice gig, she says, was less about self-promotion -- although its timing is fortuitous -- than simply getting the chance to be a part of a similar environment to the one in which her own career was spawned.
"I love Idol, I still watch Idol," she says. "I love all those shows. I think especially in an environment where there's not a lot of artist development going on right now because people need to make money right off the bat and it's so formulaic, so it's hard. Yes, people do hit every once in awhile but not like they used to. So I think it's kind of cool with these shows [that] you get this raw talent that comes on this stage, and I think that's awesome."
Clarkson should know. The Texan broke out internationally when she was chosen to compete on the very first season of American Idol back in 2002. That led to her hit 2003 debut album Thankful and a recording career that has spawned another four albums, over 24 million record sales, and two Grammy Awards.
While the Fort Worth native is generally considered a pop star, she recently won a Country Music Association award for Musical Event of the Year with Jason Aldean for their hit single "Don't You Wanna Stay." The change in direction, she says, was primarily an attempt to stave off boredom, not a rejection of her pop roots.
"I like being able to sing different stuff. I don't want to ever sing the same stuff over and over and over, and I'm forced to sometimes; in the past I have been. So I don't want to get stuck in that rut.
"I like being able to go and do something country or go sing for the Pope. It's for me; it's more selfishly for me. Not even to prove to people I can do this, more like I get bored out of my fricking mind doing the same damn thing over and over and over. So I need it. It's a challenge for me creatively."
Perhaps Clarkson's greatest creative challenge during her decade in the spotlight has been to simply be herself, which has sometimes meant not making the most commercially accessible music. She famously feuded with RCA Records head Clive Davis over the artistic direction of her third album, 2007's My December. Less dance-oriented than her previous work, My December was a more sombre record but still proved to be a critical and commercial success.
Following her instincts and standing up for herself is never easy, Clarkson says, but "[i]t's getting easier now because I've been doing it for a decade. But my whole twenties... People find it unbelievable... Even, like, my previous manager, he wanted me to be the biggest star in the world. That ain't a goal of mine. I don't care. Like, I don't want to work that hard! I don't want my life to revolve around this.
"I have a life separate [from my career], and I want that. I want to one day have kids and be able to take them to school. I just have bigger dreams than that. And I think a lot of people in this industry can't fathom turning down million-dollar deals, they can't fathom [that] you want a life. And I love my job, but I want to love my job. I don't want to hate my job or resent it. I've had to pick and choose. I don't think life is about sacrifice, I think life is about priorities, and my priorities are just very different from most people in this industry.
"So I've had to really work for that. And there's been a lot of ups and downs with that. But in the end it's all been worth it, and I think people have a really good grasp of who I am now. But I think you'll always have to work at that, right?"

Kent, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Javon McCrea registered a double-double with 31 points and 11 rebounds to lift the Buffalo Bulls to a 78-69 decision over the Kent State Golden Flashes in Mid-American Conference action at the MAC Center.
Will Regan added 15 points for Buffalo (16-8, 10-4 MAC) as it notched its fifth win in six games. Justin Moss provided a spark off the bench with 12 points, while Jarod Oldham dealt out eight assists.
For the Golden Flashes (15-12, 6-8), Kris Brewer netted 16 points. Kellon Thomas had 13 points, Devareaux Manley scored 11 points and Derek Jackson finished with 10 points. Chris Ortiz led KSU on the boards with seven rebounds.
The Golden Flashes connected on 43.3 percent of their field goal attempts, but converted just 2-of-6 shots at the free-throw line in the opening period. Buffalo sank 13-of-15 attempts at the charity stripe in the first half to take a 33-32 lead into the intermission.
The Bulls heated up to drain 48.1 percent of their shots from the floor after the break. Although KSU also hit on 48.1 percent of its field goal tries, it was outscored, 15-6, at the free-throw line in the second half.
Buffalo finished with 32 points in the paint compared to 20 by the Golden Flashes. The Bulls also enjoyed a 39-28 edge in total rebounds.

MADISON (WSAU) Two unions have told a Dane County judge why they believe Wisconsin's new limits on public union bargaining should be thrown out. Madison Teachers Incorporated and A-F-L C-I-O sanitation workers in Milwaukee filed their lawsuit in August. Yesterday they submitted documents reinforcing their arguments. They said the law violates the state Constitution's equal protection clause, because it exempts police-and-fire unions. And they said it violates the Constitution's home rule provisions which let the city and county of Milwaukee run their own pension systems.
The lawsuit also claims the law violates the unions' freedom of association, saying it puts extra burdens on public union members. Two similar cases are pending in federal courts.
Governor Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers have said their measure is constitutional -- and they believe they'll win the lawsuits.

We Tried It: New Snack Bars From Luna and Kind
Written on June 21, 2012 at 2:46 pm , by Karla Walsh
New snack bars seem to pop up on supermarket shelves nearly every week. With so many options, it's hard to know which are worth your money—and calories. Recently, readers and staff members chewed and scored for our best bar food awards, and since then a few new items have caught our eye. The FITNESS team did the tasty work of testing out the latest in the Luna Fiber and Kind lines. Read on for their honest feedback!
Luna Fiber Vanilla Blueberry
- "I loved the rich blueberry taste and at 110 calories, it's a great go-to snack for my 3 p.m. munchies." — Kathy Green, managing editor
Luna Fiber Chocolate Raspberry
- "For 110 calories, I think you might as well have a real cookie. I really like the crunchy Luna bars, so I was surprised at the over-syrupy, artificial taste." — Betty Wong, editor in chief
Luna Fiber Peanut Butter Strawberry
- "I immediately noticed the strawberry flavor, then the peanut butter hit my taste buds after. This would be a good on-the-go treat before hitting the gym." — Samantha Shelton, editorial assistant
Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt
- "The first bite was so flavorful and had a lot of depth. It was crunchy and is truly one of the best bars I've ever had. I have to buy a crate and keep them in my fridge." — Lapo Belmestieri, freelance designer
Kind Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan
- "This tasted like French toast drizzled in dark chocolate!" — Colleen Moody, web editor
Kind Cashew & Ginger Spice
- "It's nice and crunchy, and since it's mostly nuts, you could tell that it doesn't have the filler junk that a lot of snack bars do. It wasn't too sweet, which I like, but it was filling. Even half would be a good post-workout snack!" — Lisa Turner, editorial intern
Now tell us: What are your favorite snack/breakfast/energy bars?

We Tried It: Coco Cafe
Written on December 13, 2011 at 9:59 am , by Marianne Magno
We're big fans of coconut water and coffee, so when we heard about Coco Cafe's newest product that combines the two, we were eager to give it a shot.
Coco Cafe's Coconut Water Cafe Latte (available online and at 200 stores nationwide, including select Whole Foods Markets) is a mix of all-natural and fair trade organic espresso, coconut water and 2 percent milk. Together, these ingredients give you a refreshing boost, which we think both coconut water and coffee lovers will enjoy.
Here's what our editors had to say about the drink:
"I admit, I was skeptical about the combination of coconut water and coffee at first, but this drink tasted just like an iced latte but without all the extra sugar. It got me through my afternoon of errands." — Marianne Magno, associate web editor
"This little guy tasted just like an iced frappuccino without all the calories and guilt that I usually feel along with them. It pepped me up during my usual 3 p.m. slump without making me feel sluggish later from a sugar crash, like I usually do with coffee or anything else that is caffeinated." — Colleen Moody, web editor
"I love coconut water and coffee. It's a great match. It has a rich taste, but not too heavy, which I like." — Cheri Crump-O'Donoghue, sittings editor
Tell us: Would you drink coconut water coffee?

Taste Test: Does "Supercandy" SNAP Infusion Measure Up?
Written on September 13, 2011 at 3:19 pm , by Samantha Shelton
We all love indulging in candy once in a while, and with Halloween right around the corner (can you believe we're halfway through September?), stores are flooding the candy aisles with every variety you can think of. One new treat to hit the shelves? SNAP Infusion, a "naturally designed supercandy" that's supposed to be healthier than the regular stuff, yet taste just as good. We're not ones to recommend a new product without giving it a whirl ourselves, so we had a little taste test in the office. Check out the results below!
We Tried: SNAP Tarts vs. Sweet Tarts
Winner: SNAP Tarts! "They taste a little bit like chewable vitamins, which I like," says associate beauty editor April. "They have a satisfying tartness too, and I kept going back for more! I'd pick these over Sweet Tarts, especially knowing that they're better for you."
We Tried: SNAP Mel (caramel) vs. Rolo's
Winner: Rolo's…kind of. While our assistant fashion editor, Melissa, would instinctively go for a Rolo, she would pick up SNAP for help with portion control. "They taste yummy, are miniature, and they have vitamins and antioxidants," she says. "What's not to love?"
We Tried: SNAP Citrus Gum vs. Trident Layers' "Wild Strawberry Tangy Citrus" Gum
Winner: It's a tie. Digital director Christie wasn't a fan, but says "if you like Fruity Pebbles, you'll love this gum. Each piece is very flavorful at first, but there was a weird after taste." Associate art director Lauren also noted the odd after taste, but says, "I love the idea of vitamins in gum. I would definitely chew it for something sweet."
SNAP will also be featuring a gummy and bean soon! Check their website for updates on the official release.
Now tell us: Would you opt for a healthier candy, or splurge on the well-known treats?

It's a magical Callie dance!
Redraw of a picture from ten years ago. I guess she's a magical peace girl?
A quick birthday sketch for my brony friend. =3
Having fun trying to imitate the colorful beauty of bubbles. Wheee!
Don't worry, if you don't want to be my valentine, I've got 18 other candidates which are way softer and fluffier than you.
Meimei being all distracted and stuff.
I'm pretty proud of how I can draw the same character more than once and actually have him/her look like the same person. Twelve-year-old me is really hating me right now.
Woah, hey, it's a face.

Apparent suicide raises concern from residentsOctober 04,2013Apparent suicide
raises concern
MANCHESTER Police responded Thursday morning to an apparent suicide at the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park.
Police went to the park around 6:10 a.m. to investigate the death. The name of the person has not been released.
Town officials said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this death and police believe there is no danger to the public or visitors to the park because of the incident.
Town Manager John OKeefe said it was unusual for the towns police department to make a public announcement for a suicide but some residents who had heard about the investigation or had seen the police presence were concerned about public safety.MORE IN This Just InBy George V. Nostrand Full Story

RAGE Gets Mandatory Install on PS3, Humongous Optional Install on 360
Posted on Thursday, August 18 @ 14:39:51 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
As RAGE is finished and shipped off to the magical place where they make video games for mass consumption, details have started spilling out about the game's size and how much space console gamers will need to fully enjoy id Software's future-apocalypse-shooter.
Word has already come straight from John Carmack that the Xbox 360 version of RAGE needs 21-22GBs of space for an install on Microsoft's console. At Gamescom, reporters have learned that the PS3 requires an 8GB install for the game. That's not an optional installation like the 360 version offers.
While my 360 hard drive only has 20 GB of space, my PS3 still has plenty of room on it. If you're not going to play RAGE on a monster PC, which console will you buy it for?

System head curve for tree piping system
as we know to draw the system curve of a piping system we have to change the value of
Q total and get a head for each value we put in the following equation : H=Hstatic +Kq^2
where K is the sum of major and minor losses.
what if we have a piping system that have many branches "tree -system" , how can we plot the system curve then ?
if we take the longest run and apply the above equation the change in Q all along the pipe will interrupt our calculation because the foumula will look like the following:
H=hst +K1Q1+K2Q2+K3Q3 ....
BUT usuallly for a single pipe system we have 1 Q all along the pipe which is the total Q , what do we do in the case of branched system ?

People Protest… People?
In America's current, highly charged political environment, people are holding everyone accountable these days. Including People Magazine.
Today, fans of Ryan Gosling (women AND men if you thought it was just the fangirls) lined the streets in front of People Headquarters in New York and protested the naming of Bradley Cooper as People's Sexiest Man of the Year.
Looks like they really struck a cord with the people of New York (or the staff of BuzzFeed.Com, rather)!

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
Facebook ( FB) has built up some impressive momentum over the course of the summer. I've made it no secret in the past that the social network isn't exactly my favorite stock -- but it's hard to argue with the market's recent love affair with FB. By far, Facebook ranks as the largest social networking site in the world: More than 600 million people use Facebook every day, and a billion use it each month. As the firm gets better at monetizing that enormous user base, the firm should grow into its lofty valuation.
>>4 Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not)One of Facebook's biggest detractors is that, unlike other Internet businesses such as Google ( GOOG) or LinkedIn ( LNKD), the firm has to basically derail what its users are doing to earn advertising revenues from them. But the firm is trying to combat that by brute force; with such a massive user count, it can afford to only make money off of a tiny percentage of its users. The highly targeted nature of FB's data should help the firm charge more for space on the site. It's also gaining revenues more directly through premium online games like those made by Zynga ( ZNGA). Mobile is an exciting growth avenue for Facebook. The firm has been growing its mobile revenue at a breakneck pace, and demographic shifts toward using portable devices should make that mobile monetization all the more important to Facebook's overall value in the years ahead. More than anything else in September, market momentum is the reason to get behind Facebook. This stock has gone from a Wall Street punch line to a Wall Street darling, and there's still money on the table.

Middlemen, Non-Profits, and Poverty
AbstractIn many markets in developing countries, especially in remote areas, middlemen are thought to earn excessive profits. Non-profits come in to counter what is seen as middlemen's market power, and rich country consumers pay a "fair-trade" premium for products marketed by such non-profits. This paper provides answers to the following five questions. How exactly do middlemen and non-profits divide up the market? How do the price mark up and price pass-through differ between middleman and non-profits? What is the impact of non-profits entry on the wellbeing of the poor? Should the government subsidize the entry of non-profits, or the entry of middlemen? Should wealthy consumers in the North pay a premium for fair trade products, or should they support fair trade non-profits directly?

Pictures from our St. Louis trip! Robert is an excellent little traveler. He did great in the car and never did get fussy... so nice!
There were 16 of us this weekend. Jim, Robert & I stayed at a hotel because I knew Robert would never go to sleep with that many people around to entertain. We had such a nice relaxing time. Dawn & Mark's house is in the country and has a lake and such a beautiful view. I could have sat outside and just stared at the lake and pasture for hours. I also had a great time getting to know Jim's family better.
Next week we will be in Arkansas at the end of the week with Gary and Sherry and will probably also see Scott and Nici there.
The bad news is Harley took a turn for the worse this weekend. The really freaky thing is I had a dream last night that I got to the vet's to pick her up and they told me something was wrong. Then I woke up. They called me before I got there this morning. She wasn't eating or drinking, was dehydrated and had diahrreah. Not good. They wanted to do some blood work and x-rays and would call me back. I got some things done at the office and then headed to the vet's. My baby was sick, she needed to know that I was still here for her. The tests didn't show anything really significant but her platelet count was down. She looked horrible. SHe did wag her tail a bit for me but she has lost a bunch of weight, was drooling and her coat looked horrible. While we were waiting for the vet she stood by the door with her tail between her legs looking at me like "take me home mama". While talking to the vet I remembered she had a tick on her a few weeks ago. All the symptoms point to Ehrliclia. A totally treatable disease. And if that's
what it is we've caught it in the acute stages. We started her on the dyocylene and hopefully when I go by tomorrow she will be showing some signs of improvement. They say it takes 24-48 hours to start working. For now she's still at the vet's. Further blood work showed that her liver and kidney function were fine so that's good. She is getting IV fluids to rehydrate her. I'm so worried. I absolutely broke down in the vet's office. I'm sure they think they're dealing with a total nut case. I was so afraid they were going to tell me that it was fatal. We're still not out of the woods but my gut is telling me it was the tick. Time will tell.

Smoked Oyster Po'Boys
Star Ingredient: Geisha Fancy Smoked OystersThere is nothing more satisfying than a traditional Southern oyster po'boy sandwich--until you consider the time and effort it takes to shuck the fresh oysters and then deep fry them. This deliciously simple variation, using smoked oysters sold in tins at the supermarket and a tangy lemon dressing, is ready in one-tenth the time.
Yield: 6
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce or 2 tablespoons minced jalapeño
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 inner celery ribs, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- Two 3 3/4-ounce cans smoked oysters, drained
- Two 6-ounce bunches watercress, thick stems discarded
- One 1-pound baguette, halved lengthwise
- 1. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil with the lemon juice, garlic and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add the celery and oysters and toss. Add the watercress and toss again. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2. Mound the salad on the baguette, close the sandwich and press to flatten slightly, tucking in any greens. Cut the baguette into 6 sandwiches and serve right away.
- Wine Recommendation: A crisp California sparkling wine will provide a refreshing contrast to the briny oysters and the tangy dressing. Consider the 1998 J Brut or the 1997 Iron Horse Brut.

The city of Chicago is preparing for the cycling season by putting 700 Divvy bikes back into circulation.
The city usually keeps at least 2,500 bikes out at one time, but reduced that number to 1,800 over the winter.
In an effort to encourage Chicagoans to try Divvy for the first time or purchase an annual membership, Mayor Emanuel declared the week of April 21 "Divvy Week." During that week, 24-hour Divvy passes will be offered at a discounted price of $5.
Those who sign up for annual memberships during that week will receive Chipotle gift cards and other prizes.
"Divvy has already been a great success, and with the improved weather comes the chance for more of us to get outside and ride a bike," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.
A recent report shows Divvy bike users have taken 900,000 trips and traveled more than 2 million miles since the program was launched nine months ago.
There are more than 300 Divvy stations and 3,000 bikes throughout the city.

cardboard would be moister
I think this is the driest ham I have ever tasted - I could not even serve it up to the kids. Will not be buying again.
29 May 2012
Very nice ham!
I cannot for one moment understand a previous reviewers comments stating the ham looks like a pigs exploded!! It is extremely nice ham - with no shiny surface, like other hams. Very nice flavour too. Bought last week and it is on my next order too!
28 February 2012
A must try
Opened up the pack to make a sandwich and ate the whole lot. A really nice traditional tasting ham that I will definitely be buying again

Ced Landrum/Micah Hoffpauir = Cub's man love
This post is not to continue the Hoffpauir debate, but to draw attention to a greater debate. The greatest flash in the pans in Cub's history. My vote goes to Ced Landrum. In 1991 he stole 27 bases in 86 at bats. Did not make a major league roster in in 1992 and ended his career in 1993 after a cup of coffee with the Met's. Let's see if anyone can beat that.
The previously promised post 'em if you've got 'em thread
Or: What's in YOUR bookmark page?
As promised late last week, I've decided to open a thread to invite those of you with blogs to share them here. A few conditions:
- No pr0n
- Nothing that goes to a website offering paid services of some kind
- White Sox suck
Basically if you have a blog, post it. If you've got a fantasy league team you want us to know about, share. Similarly, if you know of a Cubs blog that gets far less traffic than it deserves, I have no objections to you posting about it here.
So, have at it!
Another Fantasy Baseball League
- I have a league that is set to draft later today, but if we don't get more teams the draft will be moved back one week. Anyway, you can join by going to baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com, clicking "Join A League", and then "Join Custom".
- The league ID is 4307, the password is mlb09
- It is a PLUS league, which grants you full access to a boatload of live in-depth stats and the league winner gets a trophy/t-shirt.
Should be fun, we may even make it a keeper league if there is enough interest. Thanks!
fantasy baseball
I have already joined 2 leagues via MSN/Fox Fantasy. Since there seems to be some intrest and the leagues are not full I will pass on this information. I think (I have not tried to add additional teams before) that all you have to do is -
Go to MSN Sports MLB and there will be a link to get to the fantasy baseball sign up.
use option C
pick options rotisserie, daily, live draft
If you are interrested to joining me in the leagues I am in you will need to choose
draft date 3/28 at 11am et - 6 slots open
draft date 3/29 at 8 am et - 8 slots open
Kurt, I know you are not big on links etc. being on this blog, so if I crossed a line let me know.
Maestri in the news
Quick Links: Cubs Top Prospects #20 Alex Maestri
Hardball - Keep an Eye on Maestri
Alex Maestri is in the news, and while I normally wouldn't give too much consideration to something written by Phil Rogers (who I am convinced will say stupid things rather than say nothing at all), I thought I'd mention it here too.
Maestri was our #20 Prospect back in December. I'm more convinced that he's rated that highly by us - and 29th overall in the Cubs organization by Baseball America - not because he's a bullet headed toward the big leagues, but instead because the Cubs farm system is extremely thin right now.
Anyway, Maestri pitched again for Italy against Venezuela recently, where he did extremely well, sitting down big leaguers like Miguel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez, Jose Guillen, Cesar Izturis, and Endy Chavez between issuing a couple of walks. Chances remain against him that Maestri will ever pitch completely enough to reach Chicago, especially since the Cubs appear intent on using him in relief this year (and we all know how hard it is for relievers to make the Major Leagues), but Rogers speculates that one great season might get Alex Maestri on Jim Hendry's promotional short list. Maybe it's improbable, but it's not impossible.
What Jersey would you want?
OK, this is a sort of poll, only I don't want to restrict options, so I'll just tally it by hand after a few months.
If you could have one, and only one, top-level professional jersey (this includes MLB, the Negro Leagues, and the Japanese leagues), from any player who
ever played, who would it be?
Personally, I can't decide between Greg Maddux, Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown, Sadaharu Oh, and Josh Gibson. Although I'm extremely Caucasian, so that kind of rules out Gibson (a Negro Leagues player).
Nothing else to do but wait (a random slightly OT post)
So, I'm in the midst of apartment and (possibly) roommate shopping. Trying to go from the NW 'burbs to Chicago. Somewhere preferably on the Metra UPN line (if you got tips, I'm all ears). I responded to a roommate wanted listing on Craigslist that sounded good and fit my needs. In the course of emailing back and forth with the individual, I mentioned that my summer routine often revolves around "when is the game?"
As a follow up, she asks me where I typically watch the game: at home or go "to the stadium".
I sat and laughed at that for a good minute. Stadium. No, no, no my dear. As far as I'm concerned, it's "the yard", "the park", or just "Wrigley". Stadium? That's for monstrosities like "Yankee Stadium" or football venues. I don't know yet if she's non-native, or just not into baseball, but it did make me laugh.
In the event I do wind up having her as a roommate, a crash course in Cub-ucation will be taking place.
Orlando Hudson
Well, I do like the idea of stealing O-Dog to play 2B this late in free agency. Nothing personal against Mike Fontenot, but their offensive production is close to a wash while Hudson's glove is in on a much higher level. In any case, there are probably people within the organization that are on both sides of this, but its certainly been considered. One article mentions as much, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe from 2/8/2009:
"Orlando Hudson, 2B, free agent: It's amazing that a player of this caliber remains unsigned, but lining up are the Cubs, White Sox, and Dodgers. A few Cubs organizational people really want Hudson, but the impending transfer of ownership from the Chicago Tribune to Tom Ricketts may hinder GM Jim Hendry's ability to do anything until it's complete."
I'm not trying to say that everyting the guy says is fact, but I would have to assume that he consulted various sources before he published it in an article in the Boston Globe. What he's suggesting isn't all that wild either. Fontenot is a nice 2B, but if the team can add an All-Star & GoldGlover at half-price and work him into the current payroll then the idea is probably worth exploring. Nothing says that Fontenot couldn't still be a valuable utility player and bat off of the bench as well as insurance to guard against various injuries. If the team can add Hudson for near the same cost as what they would have paid DeRosa if they kept him, then I would say that is one hell of a steal. They sign Hudson the team gets; a replacement for DeRo at relatively the same cost, 3 pitching prospects from the Indians, and Mike Fontenot is still on the roster as well --> What exactly does the team have to lose?
The Great Shark Debate
Perhaps the biggest wild card you can find anywhere on the entire Cubs' team roster going into 2009 is Jeff Smardzija. Some feel he should start in AAA as a starter and be called up later to be used when/as needed. Still some hold the belief that he should begin the season in MLB as a strong foundation in the set-up bridge that gets the ball to Carlos Marmol. Its a tough decision for any organization to face. Samardzija certainly can provide a valuable arm in the bullpen immediately, but many feel his long-term career path will take shape as a starter. So its quite a toss-up. Does the team leave him in AAA at the detriment of the bullpen and valuable outs late in games? Or do you work with what's currently in the bullpen and let Samardzija develop as a starter in AAA?
Samardzija just turned 24 years old, and he's a big kid at 6'5" 220 lbs. He possesses an above average fastball at this point, which he featured at 94.7mph on average, in nearly 70% of the pitches he threw in relief on the big league team in 08. He also has a few secondary pitches that need to be further developed, but its a clear possibility that both his slider and split-finger pitches could soon be plus pitches. Also his 56.5% first pitch strike rate is good with room for improvement in the future as well. The strikeouts will always be there for this kid, but if he can cut down on the walks he will be tough in any role.
As a a reliever -MLB- 27.7IP, 25K, 15BB, 1W, 1S, 2.28ERA
As a starter in the minors his numbers were a little less than stellar until he arrived in AAA in 2008. For the most part his ERA was in the high four's for the brunt of his innings in A and AA from 06-08. There is little argument that he was able to turn things around from the time he arrived in AAA going (4-1) which then launched him into the Cubs' bullpen in late July. There is little doubt that Samardzija's arm can be utilitzed by the cubs major league team in the very near future, however, its still unclear what level the Shark lands at or what role he can play in the teams' success in 2009.
Lou's future
There is a blog in Bleeding Cubbies Blue talking about Lou's future. According to them via WSCR via an un-named Cub's blog with a source, Lou has talked to Hendry about retiring at the end of the season. The reasons given were he wanted to get away from the club house politics and the pressure from the media. I have a question about his future with the Cub's. If he is looking to leave at the end of 2009 for the reasons given would he consider going to AAA for the last year of his contract (he is signed thru 2010).
I bring this up because we all complain about the Cub's farm system and the fact that they don't develop position players. In Lou's time here he has developed at least Theroit and Fontenot into good/decent players. If I remember correctly they were not considered top propects. I would also give Lou partial credit for Soto's development based on the number of failures we have had in the past with propects at the major league level.
For Lou it could mean semi-retirement. At 3A ball he would face less pressure from the media and fans, fewer ego's, and a shorter season. Travel may-be an issue, but I am sure something could be worked out. He could focus more on developing players and less on winning now. Could he have done something with Pie if could of let him play everyday doing what Lou wanted. He could get Hendry to cut or trade the deadwood and bring up 2A players to develop. An added extra could be that he could identify players the Cub's should target in trades.
Just offering a different approach to solving an age old problem with the Cub's farm system.

The family of an abducted Louisiana woman rescued her and killed her abductor Friday, according to news reports.
Bethany Arceneaux, 29, was kidnapped Wednesday by Scott Thomas, 29, as she picked their child up from daycare, police said.
Police and family members in Lafayette Parish began searching for her immediately.
Her family found her first.
Video on The Advertiser website shows a group of armed men on ATVs surrounding the abandoned house and Arceneaux crying after being rescued.
Police said the family was searching the area and heard a woman scream. About a half-dozen men kicked in the door of the house and confronted Scott, who began stabbing Arceneaux, police said.
What happened next is not clear, police said, but gunfire erupted and police that arrived at the scene found Scott dead from injuries sustained during the confrontation.
Police said it appeared family members were acting in defense of Arceneaux so they may not face criminal charges.
The woman's brother didn't apologize for his family's actions.
"We did what we had to do. We did not wait for authorities. We did it our own self," said Harold Carter, Arceneaux's older brother.
Police say Arceneaux filed a complaint against Thomas June 15, alleging he locked her in a house and threatened to kill both her and the child.
"Since then, Scott has been riding around my mom's house and my work looking for me. I am afraid for me and my son's life," Arceneaux wrote in the complaint.
A protective order was issued June 17. Thomas was arrested Aug. 8 for violating that order and was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated flight from an officer, according to The Advertiser.

Good for them! If they had waited for the authorities she would probably be dead now as this guy was not going to give her up alive. Her family members indeed did what they had to do and my hat is off to them for taking care of business the only way it could have been taken care of. This guy put himself in that position to get killed for his actions and there is no one to blame for what happened to him except him.

What a screwed up paper the AJC has become that it would even suggest that an apology would be appropriate. We have an obligation to protect ourselves and our loved ones. We only hire law enforcement to help us with this task. We do not abandon our responsibilities. Kevin Riley, you have a big job ahead. Your paper is stuffed with big government leftists.

I think those that applaud this families actions are spot-on. Sitting around waiting for help would have resulted in the death of this woman. Her family did what they had to do and this rag of a newspaper injected their politics into the reporting. The spineless sheep of the left would be sitting around wondering why the police didn't do their job while completely ignoring their own culpability in allowing it to happen. Come after me or mine and you will get my entire arsenal in response. Go after my loved ones and I will dispatch you with no judge or jury, just the weeping of your woman. Touch me or mine and feel that wrath. I think this is hilarious and I'm enjoying it. Stupid people wait for the government to do what they could do themselves. God help your loved ones if you are so cowardly you would wait as your wife or daughter is being stabbed. May God have mercy on your souls. Darwin won't have any mercy.

This story has nothing to do with President Obama nor Trayvon Martin, so why interject either in your comments if not for your hate and/or jealousy of Black men? Congratulate the family of Ms. Arceneaux for a job well done and move on. What miserable lives you people must lead. All we in civilized society can do for you is pray. May God help you.

The police are there to protect the government and enforce the laws the government has seen fit to impose on the rest of us. They have NO specific duty to protect individuals whatsoever (numerous Supreme Court cases support this position). Every week at least we read stories of police beatings, shooting, killings etc. of innocent people (many of them physically and mentally challenged). In every case, regardless of the blatant abuse of power, internal investigations by other police or by the state district attorney's office declare that the beatings, killings, etc. were "justified" and absolutely nothing is done to these violent criminals with badges.
As the state apparatus collapses around us and more revelations of abuse are exposed daily, it is high time for the victimized citizens of this country to explore the bigger question of what we really wish government to do for us and why we have put so much faith and power in the hands of people who not only create abusive and destructive laws, but put themselves above the laws that victimize the rest of us.
Private protection services, paid for through a variety of mechanisms and operating in a completely free market could provide REAL protection for our communities and would, unlike government controlled police, actually have to answer to their customers and treat them with dignity and respect.
Government controlled police are there to show up after the crime has already been committed to fill out paperwork and file it away. While there are certainly some conscientious folks, they would have a real role even in a private alternative and the rotten apples would thankfully find themselves out on the street on behind bars where they belong. This will never happen if we continue to let the current government police state continue to grow and oppress us.
