Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
With less than 48 hours to go on the trade deadline and the Cubs season over long ago, Hendry seems on the brink of not being able to move any of his overpriced talent.
Well-done sir.
The latest of course is that Derrek Lee wouldn't waive his NTC to go to the Angels who happen to reside in Southern California where he is building a home. As a 10/5 man, he has earned that right, so fair enough. But please don't invoke the love of the city or your teammates because you're kind of screwing them over.
"I think the bottom line is family. I like Chicago, I enjoy my teammates. It was the decision we made."
You may be thinking that he just didn't want to go to the Angels who are pretty much out of it, but according to Bruce Levine, the Rangers came up with an offer as well and they're very well on their way to the playoffs at the moment. I don't know anything about Lee's personel life, but for the $13M he's making this year, it seems like he could overcome the 2-month inconvenience. Since Lee is still having a crap year and the team is obviously moving on past him for 2011, it'd be nice if he was benched for prolonged period of times to start giving whomever the Cubs think might be next year's first basemen some much needed game experience (Colvin, Soriano, Ramirez, Hoffpauir, etc).
- Ted Lilly seemed like a slam dunk to get moved, but teams seem to be balking at picking up his salary. The Cubs should of course just offer to pay most of it, if it can net them a decent pair of prospects, but Hendry still can't figure out how free agent compensation works, so I'm doubtful he'll figure out the idea of sunk costs. The Phillies are of course out now as they picked up Roy Oswalt, leaving the Mets, Twins and Dodgers as the most likely targets, although all seem hesitant at this late hour.
On the other hand, if these teams are so hesitant to pick up his salary or Lee's, both should easily clear waivers and if they don't, dear god Hendry, just let them go and save the money since there's no way in hell you'll offer them arbitration cause you never do that.
- I haven't heard much on the Ryan Theriot front lately past the Rockies and Tigers rumors. Xavier Nady's continued awfulness has nullified his trade value.
So at this moment, we all have the joy of following a terrible team that can't even conduct a proper fire sale. Cubs fever...catch it.
Re: Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
I believe the deadline is not until Saturday 5:00 eastern.

QUET MAN: You are correct, sir. The non-waiver trade deadline is one hour prior to the end of the waiver period.
And then the new waiver period begins at 05:00 EDT on Saturday.
Because weekends are only considered "business days" during Spring Training, players cannot be placed on Trade Waivers until Monday August 2 at 2 PM EDT. And therefore the first batch of players will clear waivers at 1 PM EDT on Wednesday 8/4.
So there can be no trades starting at 4 PM EDT Saturday until Wednesday at 1 PM EDT.
Re: Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
Hi AZ Phil,
Do you see either Guyer or Thomas (Tony) getting promotions before the end of the year? Both have really turned it on offensively over the past few weeks, and the looming 2B vacuum at the big league level makes it seem like a no-brainer to see how Thomas can perform against AAA pitching in a significant number of ABs before camp breaks next spring.

Hi AZ Phil,

Both have really turned it on offensively over the past few weeks, and the looming 2B vacuum at the big league level makes it seem like a no-brainer to see how Thomas can perform against AAA pitching in a significant number of ABs before camp breaks next spring.
ROSS B: As things stand right now, I believe three of the players who are eligible to be Rule 55 Minor League Free-Agents (OF Brad Snyder, RHP Thomas Diamond, and C-IF Robinson Chirinos) will be added to the Cubs 40-man roster by the deadline for adding Rule 55 Minor League FAs (no later than the 4th day following the conclusion of the World Series).
Players who are eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft must be added to the 40-man roster no later than 11/20 to avoid being eligible for selection, and I believe RHP Chris Archer, INF Darwin Barney, and OF Brandon Guyer are the three Cubs players eligible for selection in the December 2010 Rule 5 Draft who will be added to the 40-man roster, although Guyer might have to have a good showing in the AFL to secure the slot.
Of those six, I would think Barney and Snyder will very likely be added to the 40-man roster and placed on the Cubs MLB Active List in September (Snyder will be out of options once he is added to the 40, so the Cubs need to get him as much playing time as possible in September and Spring Taining 2011 to find out if he can hit big league pitching), while the other four might not be added until the applicable deadlines because the Cubs need to create roster space for them. (Archer, Barney, Chirinos, and Guyer would have three minor league options available in 2011, while Diamond would have one left over from when he was previously on 40-man rosters).
Archer and Guyer will just take the roster slots opened when Lee and Lilly file for free-agency, while Diamond and Chirinos will have to take the roster slots of players dropped from the 40-man roster prior to the 4th day following the conclusion of the World Series.
Some of the roster moves the Cubs might make in September and October would be to transfer Esmailin Caridad from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL (players on the 60-day DL do not have to be reinstated until the conclusion of the MLB Free-Agency Filing Period) and release Bob Howry (that opens up slots for Barney and Snyder), and either release or trade Xavier Nady and maybe outright Jeff Gray (he will be out of options next season) to open slots for Chirinos and Diamond.
And then Jeff Baker, Koyie Hill, and Angel Guzman are likely 12/12 non-tender candidates, although the Cubs could outright any of the three prior to 12/12 to clear additional roster slots (and if that happens after to the conclusion of the season, the player will almost certainly refuse the Outright Assignment and become an Article XX minor league FA, presuming the player is not claimed off waivers).
Re: Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
I know he hasn't done much at all to impress this year, but I would have liked to see Jeff Baker get to play 2b every day, vs rhp and lhp, for an extended period of time earlier this year. Instead we got force fed a platoon and then Theriot. Now if Riot happens to be traded and Baker gets regular ab's, they'll just say it's at the end of the year and doesn't matter (kind of like Baker's performance last year).
It's hard to believe but Baker has only started 13 games all year at 2b.
I'm not saying Baker would turn into anything, but it's been a problem throughout Cubs history to get rid of guys before we know what they can do. Last year Baker's BABIP for the Cubs was way out of whack, and then he got off to a slow start platooning and got buried on the bench.
It's kind of crazy to be getting rid of people when you never gave them regular playing time (and it's not like we had a solid starter blocking him).

Re: Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
per Rosenthal: Twins get Capps and cash for Ramos and LHP Joe Testa, recently demoted from AA to A
would have been a nice trading chip had the Cubs gotten Capps...woulda, shoulda, coulda.
Kerry Wood coming off the DL tomorrow. Lilly for KW...just to add to the DLee and LouPa lame duck but feel good, wrap-up the 2010 season tour.

As we have seen, Hendry gives the veteran the last say. Always. Dusty. Lou. DLee. Any "good soldier".
Indeed, we have not reached the deadline yet. So -we have to wait and see...

Move Theriot to 1b and make him play on stilts. It will be entertaining, for sure.

No, Someninja is for getting into that 7-run deficit.

"The Boston Red Sox were banned from signing any international players for the next year and had five of their teenage prospects declared free agents on Friday after a Major League Baseball investigation showed they circumvented signing-bonus rules last year, a source familiar with the situation told Yahoo Sports."
The thing with Heyward is its not just free agency. He is way under performing his career #s. He's making the same % of contact but his soft contact is much higher and hard contact much lower than all his previous years so there is something very specifically going on this year causing the issues. Chances are he will eventually get back to his previous #s and it's better to get the slump now and get that hot run later but I wish I knew what is different about this year. He's either just not seeing the ball as well or a swing change is causing it.
Only 3 pitches for Leathersich. Not much of a rehab outing.
Thanks for the reporting Phil.
He's the nastiest pitcher I've seen in awhile. I'm gonna give them all a mulligan on this one.
Coghlan's strike out was more disappointing. He was fighting off a lot of pitches and not swinging at crap, and on the last pitch, he swung at stuff he was laying off, and struck out.
And Heyward, too. I don't blame Heyward - I blame free agency. I hate it. You almost never get a valid return on the investment.
I look forward to the day when ball players own the teams. The current economics are not sustainable.
Oh, I'm sure you're right. He's not 27-27 in saves for nothing. But, man, I hope they learned last night that he didn't throw a single pitch in the zone to KB, Contreras or Baez, and they all just kept swinging.
Sounds like a much better game than last night's fiasco in Flushing.
I'm pretty sure it looks like a sweet pitch on the way in. How many sinkers like that are there at 98 mph? I agree that they should just do a Lackey and stand their with their bat on their shoulders until he throws a strike next time, but I can see how that's hard to do.
The bullpen, on the other hand, is a mess, and Heyward is starting to piss me off.
I noticed that too. He's getting to everything, but when he gets right under it on a high flyball he looks uncomfortable
Did you expect anything different?
Wow, did they blow this game. Stupid plays by the kids in the 7th -- Almora throwing to 3rd instead of 2nd to keep the DP in order (when a DP probably wins the game) and Baez throwing to 3rd (to a backpedalling KB) instead of getting the easy 2nd out at first - cost them the game. Also, Contreras almost throws the ball into RF on a nonexistent pick-off play. And Maddon, for using Peralta in the first place. Did they do a bunch of shots in the dugout before the 7th? Unbelievably bad baseball. I thought Almora had a high baseball IQ?
men on 2nd/3rd, 0 out...and nothing.
cubs lose :(
Getting tired of this Heywood weak sauce
Yep, can't say I disagree with that. His first batter and resulting walk was just brutal. Reminded me of a bit of Jacque Jones spiking his throws into the ground from RF.
The use of Peralta in any
semblance of a high leveragesituation is questionable at best.
fixed that for ya.

News Release 13-84
Ottawa, February 21, 2013—Tens of thousands of truck drivers are approaching retirement age, but very few young people and immigrants are entering the industry. A new Conference Board of Canada report concludes that the gap between the supply of drivers and the demand for them—estimated at 25,000 by 2020—could be costly to the Canadian economy.
"The food we eat, the goods that we enjoy and even the homes we live in are in large part delivered by trucks. The inability to meet a huge demand for drivers could be costly for the trucking industry, consumer goods and the Canadian economy," said Vijay Gill, Principal Research Associate.
The trucking industry moves 90 per cent of all consumer products and food within Canada and 60 per cent of trade with the United States, Canada's largest trading partner. It alone accounts for 33 per cent of real gross domestic product (GDP) in the transportation sector. Most of the demand for truck transport services is tied to the manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade industries. Demand for goods and services from retail industries is expected to grow significantly by 2020. The trucking industry's real GDP is expected to increase from $17 billion to $21.4 billion from 2011.
While truck drivers make up nearly 1.5 per cent of the Canadian labour force—approximately 300,000 truck drivers overall—it struggles to attract drivers to the for-hire industry. The for-hire industry is comprised of companies that provide truck transportation services to other companies. Drivers in the for-hire industry are often required to work long hours, over long distances, and with unpredictable schedules.
Participation of young people, ages 15 to 24, has dropped off significantly in the past decade. As a result, the average truck driver's average age has increased from 40 years in 1996 to 44 years in 2006, an average that surpasses that of many comparable occupations.
This report, Understanding the Truck Driver Supply and Demand Gap and Implications for the Canadian Economy, was funded by the Canadian Trucking Alliance, a federation of provincial trucking associations.

The tumor suppressor p53 does all it can to prevent oncogenes from transforming normal cells into tumor cells by killing defective cells or causing them to become inactive.
Sometimes oncogenes manage to initiate tumor development in the presence of p53, but, even then, the tumor suppressor doesn't give up and focuses its efforts instead on limiting the tumor's ability to invade and metastasize. A study in The Journal of Cell Biology uncovers one way that p53 acts to prevent cancer cell invasion.
A team of researchers, led by Keiko Kawauchi from the Mechanobiology Institute at the National University of Singapore, studied cells that had been transformed into cancer cells by Ras, the most common oncogene in human cancer.
They compared Ras-transformed cells with and without p53 and observed that those expressing p53 were less invasive and formed fewer focal adhesions, the molecular linkages that connect the structural scaffolding within the cell to the extracellular matrix that surrounds the cell.
The researchers found that p53 limits invasion by initiating a chain of events that ultimately prevents the formation of lamellipodia, cell membrane protrusions that spur cell movement and invasion. p53 activates a mitochondrial protease called Omi, which is then released into the cytosol of the cell when Ras causes mitochondria to fragment.
Omi cleaves actin filaments in the cytoskeleton, and the decrease in actin suppresses the activity of p130Cas, a focal adhesion signaling protein that promotes the formation of lamellipodia. With low levels of active p130Cas, cells don't form lamellipodia and are therefore less able to invade.
"Actin remodeling is a signal that prevents cell invasion," explains Kawauchi. "Most research has focused on how p53 prevents metastasis by regulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions," a biological process by which cells gain migratory and invasive properties. In contrast, says Kawauchi, the new findings help explain how p53 affects the cytoskeletal processes within the cell that drive invasion.

Since the completion of the human genome an important goal has been to elucidate the function of the now known proteins: a new molecular method enables the investigation of the function for thousands of proteins in parallel. Applying this new method, an international team of researchers with leading participation of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) was able to identify hundreds of previously unknown interactions among proteins.

This religious drama stars Kelsey Sanders as Kerry Wells, a college student and aspiring journalist who also happens to be a Born Again Christian. She strikes up a budding romance with fellow undergrad Blake Truman (Logan Bartholomew), a collegiate hockey superstar and one of the most popular men on campus. As the two grow ever closer, however, Kerry learns that Blake is still reeling from a painful secret in his past. When Kerry suggests that Blake pray and ask God to relieve his emotional burdens, Blake - an atheist - scoffs at the suggestion, insisting that the miracles of modern science disprove the validity of the Bible. Meanwhile, Kerry finds her faith challenged from another source, and decides to weigh scientific discoveries against the account of creation in Genesis - with surprising results. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Okay, I am working on an application and I want to store a file on the user's SD Card, but I want the file encrypted. I've researched several sites that use the DES encryption to encrypt files and data, but I am confused about something. All the examples I'm seen use a line like this:
SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES").generateKey();
The problem I am having is that I get my key to encrypt and obviously I need the same key to decrypt. But its seems like a paradox because if I store my key in a file or in a database, can't someone get the key and decrypt my file? Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way to generate a key using a supplied pass phrase? And why would someone not want to use a passkey if they must store the generated key somewhere else?

Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion "King Mo" Lawal enters his third Bellator MMA tournament on Friday in hopes of earning another title shot. On the opposite side of the bracket sits rival Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who is matched up against Christian M'Pumbu. If Lawal defeats his first round opponent, Mikhael Zayats, he could face Jackson in the finals, but he's not looking that far ahead.
"I'm focusing on Zayats," Lawal told MMAWeekly.com. "If I look past Zayats, I could (expletive) around and get beat. I'm worried Mikhail. Once I get past Mikhail, it's not given that Rampage is going to beat M'Pumbu. You don't know what's going to happen. No one is psychic. No one here is Ms. Cleo. No one can predict the future. We have to wait and see what happens."
Lawal has limited information on his Russian opponent, but sees the former Combat Sambo Russia National Champion as a challenge.
"Good sambo, good submissions, stocky, from Russia. I see a solid opponent and I'm ready to fight him," said the 33-year-old Lawal. "Sambo is just like jiu-jitu except it's more of a wrestling base, kind of. I'm just training when it comes down to it, training for every position."
While Lawal slightly tailors his preparation for specific opponents, he admits he doesn't know what to expect when the two meet at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Friday.
"I do tailor it a little bit, but I train for every position because who knows what this dude is going to do. This dude could be like, you know, I'm going to work on spinning back tornado kicks. He could throw that in his repertoire," he said.
Lawal isn't looking past Zayats, but predicts that he'll get past him in the tournament.
"I'm going to the next round. I'm doing this for Apollo Creed. The last time I saw a black man fight a Russian, he got killed in an exhibition," said Lawal.

Internet governance forum in Lagos
GOVERNMENT| Jan. 20, 2012, 11 a.m.
The 2012 edition of the Nigerian DigitalSENSE Africa (DSA) forum on Internet Governance for Development (IG4D) will be held in Lagos on 19 and 20 April.
The event will be held with the theme: Internet Governance and Mobile Economy in Nigeria.
The Executive Director, Operations at DigitalSENSE Africa, Nkemdilim Nweke, said with the licensing of electronic payments companies by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to operate mobile money service, it had become crucial to examine issues relating to implementation of the service in line with relevant laws of the land, in comparison with global best practices.
She said it was imperative to create more awareness on the subject and how it would affect Nigerians and the Internet community in Nigeria because the services are expected to ride on existing mobile networks in the country.
The Minister for Information and Communications, Labaran Maku, the Minister for Science and Technology, Prof. Muhammad Abubakar Ka'Oje, the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr Eugene Juwah, and the CEO of NITDA, Prof. Cleopas Angaye, will be among the dignitaries attending the event.

Gartner, Inc. on Tuesday highlighted the top ten technologies and trends that will be strategic for most organizations in 2014. Analysts presented their findings during Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, being held here through October 10.
Gartner defines a strategic technology as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major dollar investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
A strategic technology may be an existing technology that has matured and/or become suitable for a wider range of uses. It may also be an emerging technology that offers an opportunity for strategic business advantage for early adopters or with potential for significant market disruption in the next five years. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.
"We have identified the top 10 technologies that companies should factor into their strategic planning processes," said David Cearley. "This does not necessarily mean adoption and investment in all of the listed technologies, but companies should look to make deliberate decisions about them during the next two years."
Mr. Cearley said that the Nexus of Forces, the convergence of four powerful forces: social, mobile, cloud and information, continues to drive change and create new opportunities, creating demand for advanced programmable infrastructure that can execute at web-scale.
The top ten strategic technology trends for 2014 include:
Mobile Device Diversity and Management
Through 2018, the growing variety of devices, computing styles, user contexts and interaction paradigms will make "everything everywhere" strategies unachievable. The unexpected consequence of bring your own device (BYOD) programs is a doubling or even tripling of the size of the mobile workforce. This is placing tremendous strain on IT and Finance organizations. Enterprise policies on employee-owned hardware usage need to be thoroughly reviewed and, where necessary, updated and extended. Most companies only have policies for employees accessing their networks through devices that the enterprise owns and manages. Set policies to define clear expectations around what they can and can't do. Balance flexibility with confidentiality and privacy requirements
Mobile Apps and Applications
The Internet of Everything
The Internet is expanding beyond PCs and mobile devices into enterprise assets such as field equipment, and consumer items such as cars and televisions. The problem is that most enterprises and technology vendors have yet to explore the possibilities of an expanded internet and are not operationally or organizationally ready. Imagine digitizing the most important products, services and assets. The combination of data streams and services created by digitizing everything creates four basic usage models – Manage; Monetize; Operate; Extend. These four basic models can be applied to any of the four "internets" (people, things, information and places). Enterprises should not limit themselves to thinking that only the Internet of Things (i.e., assets and machines) has the potential to leverage these four models. Enterprises from all industries (heavy, mixed, and weightless) can leverage these four models.
Hybrid Cloud and IT as Service Broker
Bringing together personal clouds and external private cloud services is an imperative. Enterprises should design private cloud services with a hybrid future in mind and make sure future integration/interoperability is possible. Hybrid cloud services can be composed in many ways, varying from relatively static to very dynamic. Managing this composition will often be the responsibility of something filling the role of cloud service broker (CSB), which handles aggregation, integration and customization of services. Enterprises that are expanding into hybrid cloud computing from private cloud services are taking on the CSB role. Terms like "overdrafting" and "cloudbursting" are often used to describe what hybrid cloud computing will make possible. However, the vast majority of hybrid cloud services will initially be much less dynamic than that. Early hybrid cloud services will likely be more static, engineered compositions (such as integration between an internal private cloud and a public cloud service for certain functionality or data). More deployment compositions will emerge as CSBs evolve (for example, private infrastructure as a service [IaaS] offerings that can leverage external service providers based on policy and utilization).
Cloud/Client Architecture
Cloud/client computing models are shifting. In the cloud/client architecture, the client is a rich application running on an Internet-connected device, and the server is a set of application services hosted in an increasingly elastically scalable cloud computing platform. The cloud is the control point and system or record and applications can span multiple client devices. The client environment may be a native application or browser-based; the increasing power of the browser is available to many client devices, mobile and desktop alike. Robust capabilities in many mobile devices, the increased demand on networks, the cost of networks and the need to manage bandwidth use creates incentives, in some cases, to minimize the cloud application computing and storage footprint, and to exploit the intelligence and storage of the client device. However, the increasingly complex demands of mobile users will drive apps to demand increasing amounts of server-side computing and storage capacity.
The Era of Personal Cloud
The personal cloud era will mark a power shift away from devices toward services. In this new world, the specifics of devices will become less important for the organization to worry about, although the devices will still be necessary. Users will use a collection of devices, with the PC remaining one of many options, but no one device will be the primary hub. Rather, the personal cloud will take on that role. Access to the cloud and the content stored or shared from the cloud will be managed and secured, rather than solely focusing on the device itself.
Software Defined Anything
Software-defined anything (SDx) is a collective term that encapsulates the growing market momentum for improved standards for infrastructure programmability and data center interoperability driven by automation inherent to cloud computing, DevOps and fast infrastructure provisioning. As a collective, SDx also incorporates various initiatives like OpenStack, OpenFlow, the Open Compute Project and Open Rack, which share similar visions. As individual SDx technology silos evolve and consortiums arise, look for emerging standards and bridging capabilities to benefit portfolios, but challenge individual technology suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to true interoperability standards within their specific domains. While openness will always be a claimed vendor objective, different interpretations of SDx definitions may be anything but open. Vendors of SDN (network), SDDC (data center), SDS (storage), and SDI (infrastructure) technologies are all trying to maintain leadership in their respective domains, while deploying SDx initiatives to aid market adjacency plays. So vendors who dominate a sector of the infrastructure may only reluctantly want to abide by standards that have the potential to lower margins and open broader competitive opportunities, even when the consumer will benefit by simplicity, cost reduction and consolidation efficiency.
Web-Scale IT
Web-scale IT is a pattern of global-class computing that delivers the capabilities of large cloud service providers within an enterprise IT setting by rethinking positions across several dimensions. Large cloud services providers such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc., are re-inventing the way IT in which IT services can be delivered. Their capabilities go beyond scale in terms of sheer size to also include scale as it pertains to speed and agility. If enterprises want to keep pace, then they need to emulate the architectures, processes and practices of these exemplary cloud providers. Gartner calls the combination of all of these elements Web-scale IT. Web-scale IT looks to change the IT value chain in a systemic fashion. Data centers are designed with an industrial engineering perspective that looks for every opportunity to reduce cost and waste. This goes beyond re-designing facilities to be more energy efficient to also include in-house design of key hardware components such as servers, storage and networks. Web-oriented architectures allows developers to build very flexible and resilient systems that recover from failure more quickly.
Smart Machines
Through 2020, the smart machine era will blossom with a proliferation of contextually aware, intelligent personal assistants, smart advisors (such as IBM Watson), advanced global industrial systems and public availability of early examples of autonomous vehicles. The smart machine era will be the most disruptive in the history of IT. New systems that begin to fulfill some of the earliest visions for what information technologies might accomplish — doing what we thought only people could do and machines could not —are now finally emerging. Gartner expects individuals will invest in, control and use their own smart machines to become more successful. Enterprises will similarly invest in smart machines. Consumerization versus central control tensions will not abate in the era of smart-machine-driven disruption. If anything, smart machines will strengthen the forces of consumerization after the first surge of enterprise buying commences.
3-D Printing
Worldwide shipments of 3D printers are expected to grow 75 percent in 2014 followed by a near doubling of unit shipments in 2015. While very expensive "additive manufacturing" devices have been around for 20 years, the market for devices ranging from $50,000 to $500, and with commensurate material and build capabilities, is nascent yet growing rapidly. The consumer market hype has made organizations aware of the fact 3D printing is a real, viable and cost-effective means to reduce costs through improved designs, streamlined prototyping and short-run manufacturing.
