Meet The U.K.'s First Ever Twerking Champion — Yep, Really
If you think Miley Cyrus invented the twerking craze think again. This dance phenomenon has been a huge part of the hip hop scene for years. And, twerking now has its own U.K. champion, Mizz Versatile, to show all of us how to shake it with the best of them.
JumpOff TV crowned the 19-year-old in November at a competition held in London. Versatile may have been dancing for years, but she is pleased that Cyrus brought twerking into the mainstream: "It's a good thing because before Miley did that, a lot of people had negative views on it. It wasn't really positive. They said it was bad for women because they're showing themselves up," she explains. "Now that Miley has come out with it the tension has eased a little. It just looks like fun."
We totally agree: Versatile does make it look fun — just watch the how-to video accompanying The Telegraph. Unfortunately, we're not sure we have the talent to copy her skilled moves. Click through to watch Mizz Versatile's top tips for twerking like the best of them. (The Telegraph)

Raimondo unveils plan to help small businesses
Raimondo unveils plan to help small businesses
PAWTUCKET — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Raimondo unveiled a plan today to help small businesses in Rhode Island that would eliminate what she calls "regulatory rigmarole" and encourage startups.
The treasurer said she would, if elected, conduct a comprehensive review of all regulations in her first year, speeding up the work the Office of Regulatory Reform has begun. She also wants to create a single online source for all state and municipal permitting and a "concierge" service to help businesses navigate the regulatory landscape.
In addition, Raimondo's plan calls for better promotion of the state's successful incubator programs to attract potential entrepreneurs; expanded use of a federal visa program designed to attract new foreign investment; and improved access to seed capital.
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of the state's economy," Raimondo said in announcing the plan at Foolproof Brewing in Pawtucket, which has grown quickly in its first 15 months.
She called for a culture change and said small businesses and startups need to be nurtured.
"Too often, cities in this state treat small businesses as adversaries," she said. "We all need to work together. There's no us versus them."
Raimondo is running in the Democratic primary against Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and political newcomer Clay Pell. Gov. Lincoln Chafee is not seeking re-election.
The small business plan is the final plank in Raimondo's five-part job-creation package.
She said the state hasn't done enough to address its high unemployment — 9 percent in February — and needs a comprehensive strategy for economic development.
"We need to be bolder," she said.
Rob Yaffe, who owns two restaurants and a bakery, including The Grange in Providence, was one of several small business owners with Raimondo at the plan's rollout. He called the regulatory system "very dysfunctional" and said there is too much bureaucracy and paperwork.

 In the words of Isaac Watts' hymn, which we sang earlier this morning, we capture the message
of Psalm 77:

 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
 our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.

When times of trouble strike, and they will strike, where do you turn? To whom do you look for guidance and protection? Do you turn to God, who is "our help in ages past, our hope for years to come?"

 As we have been moving through the Psalms, we've discovered that they invite us to cry out in laments. They give us permission to rage and complain. It's okay that our souls refuse to be comforted. It's not a sin to have doubts. Here in Psalm 77 the Psalmist cries out to God demanding to be heard. After issuing a torrent of complaints, the Psalmist then remembers that God has been our help in ages past. Recognizing the prospect that life can be challenging, Martin Luther wrote a hymn that picked up on another Psalm, Psalm 46, where he also affirmed God's strong presence in the face of difficulty. This hymn is a favorite of many, who sing boldly: "A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing, our present help amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing."

 I've not yet had a chance to hear or read Rick's sermon from last Sunday, but I've heard from several people that he spoke passionately about Orlando and what this event means for people who are gay and lesbian. When we go through times such as these, where do we turn? Cliches that declare "don't worry, be happy," simply won't suffice.

 As we read the Psalms, we often get this feeling of divine absence. God appears to be far away. In the verses that were omitted from Psalm 77 by the lectionary we hear the Psalmist cry out:

 "Will my Lord reject me forever? Will he never be pleased again?
 Has his faithful love come to a complete end?
 Is his promise over for future generations?
 Has God forgotten how to be gracious?
 Has he angrily stopped up his compassion?" (Ps. 77:8-10 CEB)

Nevertheless, even if God seems absent, we're invited to seek the Lord. We cry out: "in the day of my trouble I seek the Lord."

 While we were spared the rage against God present in verses 3-10, in verse 11 the Psalm acknowledges that God has been present and active. The community is invited to call to mind God's deeds and "wonders of old." The Psalmist remembers how God acted powerfully on behalf of the people; how God redeemed the "descendants of Jacob and Joseph." The Psalmist calls to mind a very specific occasion – the Exodus from Egypt, when God led the people through the waters of the Sea to freedom. God led the people of Israel through the sea, even though God's footprints remained unseen. So, how did God lead the people through the sea? According to the Psalmist, God used Moses and Aaron -- and I would add their sister Miriam -- to guide them through the sea, redeeming them from slavery.

 Things happen in life that remain unexplainable. Why does a man go into a nightclub and kill forty-nine people and wound fifty-three others? If you've been following the story of Orlando, you know that the answers are complicated. There's a mixture of religion and hatred, perhaps even self-hatred, as well as possible mental health issues, tied into possible terrorist motives. Politics likes to simplify things, but life is anything but simple.

 This past week we watched as the Brits decided by a rather small margin to exit the European Union, throwing the financial markets into a tailspin. That one event caused global confusion and anxiety. Many wonder why all this occurred? To whom do we look for guidance?

 The Psalmist invites us to turn to God. But, if we do turn to God, how will God answer our request? Quite often when we pray, we expect direct divine intervention. We want God to step in, sort of like Superman, and save us from our dangers. But is this what the Psalmist is thinking of?

 Many of us grew up watching one form or another of cartoons and shows about super-heroes ranging from Wonder Woman to Superman, from Spiderman to Batman. Whenever Gotham City was under attack by one villain or another, Commissioner Gordon would put out the bat signal, and Batman would appear to save the day. One of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons growing up was "Underdog." When trouble appeared, "Shoeshine Boy" turned into "Underdog." When Underdog appeared on the scene he would declare "Never fear, Underdog is here." Part of us wants God to be Underdog or Wonder Woman or Superman, but is that how God is present?

 I found an interesting clue present near the end of the Psalm – that reference to the unseen footprints of God as God led the people through the sea. God's footprints might be absent, but the Psalmist acknowledges that God's presence was seen in the leadership of Moses and Aaron, along with the unnamed leadership of Miriam.

 When we find ourselves in times of trouble, it's important to remember our stories, stories of when we saw God at work. What those stories likely reveal is that God works in partnership with us. Theologian Tom Oord has written about the "uncontrolling love of God." He makes the rather uncomfortable suggestion that since love defines God's nature, God cannot act coercively. Therefore, because of this love, God cannot prevent evil – except as God works in willing partnership with creation. So, when it comes to the sea, the implications of Oord's theology is that God invites the very elements that make up the sea to part so that Israel can cross on dry land. But God also worked with and through Moses and Aaron and Miriam to redeem Israel.

 It's good to remember that the people of Israel didn't walk through the Sea and right into the Promised Land. No, they left behind slavery in Egypt, but their journey continued. There were times of trouble ahead. Many wanted to turn back. When faced with the uncertainty of the journey ahead, sometimes the stability of slavery looked attractive. But Moses and Aaron, with fits and starts, kept their focus, and the people continued to move toward the Promised Land, although the journey took a lot longer than it could have!

 If we are to seek the Lord in times of trouble, how does God respond to these challenges? Tom Oord speaks of God being an "omnipresent Spirit." God is ever present, but we may not perceive God through our senses. However, if we pay attention we might catch a glimpse of God at work, and then we can join God in this work. We live in a rather individualist society. We like to think that we can do everything for ourselves. The message of scripture, however, is that God usually works in and through communities – like Israel and the church. Paul speaks of the church as the body of Christ. It is through the church as a community that Christ is present and working toward the reconciliation of all things. There is a responsive motto that we use in DRIVE to express what we're up to. The leader will declare: "We need each other . . . " The community will respond: "We are better together!" Then in the second phrase of this call to action, the leader calls out: "What we accomplish . . ." is answered with "We cannot do alone." In essence, God wants us to understand that we are better together and that what we accomplish we cannot do alone. If Tom Oord is correct, God's own actions depend on our response. It's a challenging vision, but it can also be a very worthwhile vision.

 When we encounter times of trouble, God is there waiting for us to pursue that relationship. Yes, "God is here! As we your people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share" (Fred Pratt Green, CH 280).

This is a study guide on marriage. Discussions include: covenant vs contract, concepts of biblical marriage, loneliness and looking for a mate, the realities of divorce, and family in the larger community.

I titled the study guide "Marriage in Interesting Times," because we are living at a time when profound changes in the way marriage is understood. Not that long ago, it was assumed by many in American society that traditional marriage not only involved a man and a woman, but the man was the head of the household and the woman was a homemaker. The man earned the money, and the woman cared for the children and kept the house in order. Then came the idea that husband and wife were equal partners in the marriage. In most cases both partners worked outside the home, and they shared more equally the duties of the home. Today, the definition of marriage has evolved one more time to include same-sex couples … So, when we talk about marriage in the twenty-first century, at least in the United States, and a number of other nations around the globe, we must remember that the legal definition, if not the religious one, includes both gay and straight couples. Yes, these are interesting times. Dr. Bob Cornwall

It is the hope of both Dr. Cornwall and Energion Publications that there will be more dialogue during this study and less diatribes.

That is the hope too of pastor and author the Rev. Katherine Willis Pershey, whose own book on marriage -- Very Married: Field Notes on Love and Fidelity -- is due out from Herald Press in the fall:

All too often, biblical texts about marriage are flattened into soundbites, divorced from historical context and emptied of wisdom. In Marriage in Interesting Times, Bob Cornwall masterfully guides readers through the nuance and complexity of biblical teachings about marriage and invites us to explore their meaning in light of our contemporary context. The times are very interesting indeed --- and so is this book!  Katherine Willis Pershey. author of Any Day a Beautiful Change.

Copies of the book can be purchased on Amazon, at your favorite bookstores, and from the publisher, which has quantity discounts for groups wanting to use the book.

RACE IN A POST-OBAMA AMERICA: The Church Responds. Edited by David Maxwell; Foreword by Otis Moss III. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2016. Xix + 139 pages.<o:p></o:p>

 Racism is referred to as America's "original sin." It is a sin that led to the genocide of much of the Native American population. It was expressed in chattel slavery of persons brought to this continent from Africa. It was also expressed in laws that denied persons from Asia from either immigrating or gaining citizenship in the United States. It has also been expressed in the treatment of Latinos/as—a community of peoples, many of whom trace their ancestry to a time before much of the Southwest was part of the United States. The ramifications of these original sins remain with us. We might like to believe that all of this lies behind us, but the truth is, racism remains a scourge on the American psyche. Many hoped that the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States would mark the dawn of a new post-racial era. While his election was an important milestone in American history, the past seven years has seen not the decrease of racism but an increase in its public presence. <o:p></o:p>

 Even as attempts are made to build relationships, educate against racism, and reform institutions change has proven to be slow. Indeed, the names Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown that gave birth to the #BlackLivesMatter movement, along with the rise of the Birther Movement, and growing Islamophobia are all signs that there is much work to do. Simply claiming to be color-blind will not suffice. <o:p></o:p>

 As a white male Christian, reading books about race and racism isn't comfortable. Neither is acknowledging white privilege. Even if I don't embrace white supremacy, there are certain privileges accorded to me, whether I ask for them or not, that are related to my color. By understanding that these privileges exist I put myself in a better position to stand as an ally with those who because of their ethnicity and race do not share in these privileges, but in the end I still have privileges. It is important to understand that these privileges have little to do with economics and everything to do with color. <o:p></o:p>

 As an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) I am expected to participate in anti-racism training. This training is designed to sensitize clergy to the realities just mentioned so that we can help our congregations move forward toward being anti-racist communities. Educating ourselves to these realities is important, and there is an increasing number of books and resources that help us in this regard. One of these books is Race in a Post-Obama America. <o:p></o:p>

 This book has its origins in conversations on the part of the faculty at Presbyterian-related McCormick Theological Seminary. It is edited by David Maxwell, the acquisitions editor for Westminster John Knox Press, the publisher of this book. This is a committee-written book with ten contributors, including the editor and the author of the foreword—Otis Moss III. All except Moss are Presbyterian. Ethnic identity is not noted in the bios, though names can suggest an ethnic background. Thus, this is a book that represents a conversation among a group of people with a shared concern for the church and the broader world. One of the contributors, the Rev. Mary Gene Boteler, writes in the introduction that the book is especially written for white Christians living in the United States so that they might "read, discuss with others, and initiate or continue a plan of action to confront racism" (p. xviii). The book both educates and calls the reader to action. <o:p></o:p>

 The book is divided into two parts. Part one defines and recounts racism in six chapters. The authors define terms, explore the relationship of the Bible to racism, and then offers four chapters that provide a historical overview. In chapter three we explore the years 1492 (the date of Columbus' fateful voyage) to 1790. The later date marks the beginnings of the American nation. Chapter 4 covers 1790 to 1954 (the latter date being the moment of "Brown v. the Board of Education," the Supreme Court decision that overthrew separate but equal legislation. In the next chapter the timeline grows shorter. It takes us from 1954 to 1973, a period in which racism went from being overt to covert. Finally, in chapter 6 we explore the post-Civil Rights movement era. This final era was supposed to be the time when things would change. But in reality racism simply changed its stripes. This is the period of the New Jim Crow when mass incarceration disenfranchised large swaths of the African American community. It is a period where anti-Arab racism emerged, in part due to the war on terror. Moves toward multi-culturalism emerged but were often resisted. <o:p></o:p>

 If Part I offers definitions and recounts history, Part II focuses on the realities of racism today. There are five chapters in this section. The first chapter asks the question of whether the election of President Obama ended racism. The current election cycle offers us an important reminder that racism continues to exist. Chapter 8 is a difficult chapter to read for it raises the question of segregated churches and whether they imply racism. While Martin Luther King decried the reality that eleven o'clock on Sunday is the most segregated hour of the week, the authors aren't so sure that the continuing existence of ethnic churches is a necessary sign of racism. While truly integrated worship is to be welcomed, a case can be made for, at least it this moment, the continuing existence of ethnic churches. But if we do move toward multi-cultural worship it needs to be more than simply a reflection of the dominant culture's preferences without allowing for other expressions to exist. The authors write that "dominant-culture hegemony is akin to the melting-pot metaphor in which all ingredients are welcomed but are expected to surrender their distinctiveness to assume the flavor and texture of the soup" (p. 80). Better is the metaphor of the salad, where distinctive elements are present and celebrated! We have a long way to go before this reality is widespread.<o:p></o:p>

 Chapter nine addresses the issue of police brutality, inviting us to consider its causes, ramifications, and offers insights into how we might as the church respond. For we who are white the police are often seen as protectors of our safety. I have very good relationships with the police in the community in which I live. But then I'm white. I've not had the negative experiences that many in communities of color have had. So I must listen and respond as requested. The reality is that in communities of color the police often are brutal in their treatment of the people. This must be stopped.<o:p></o:p>

 Chapter ten is addressed primarily to white people like me by contributors who are white. This chapter addresses the challenges of white supremacy and white privilege. It serves to remind us that racism is more than prejudice. It is systemic. We who are white often miss the signs. It is telling that 80% of white youth and young adults don't like talking about race and assume that they live by a color blind code. So, what do we do? The authors provide us with eight excellent suggestions for how we who are white can address white privilege and work toward the elimination of racism. Among these include recognizing our privilege, along educating ourselves as to what this means, and then speaking up and showing up. Again, the chapter is not a comfortable read, but then it's not supposed to be.

 Finally, in chapter 11, we turn to the church's response. While we may want to quickly move toward a color-blind beloved community, they tell us that there must be justice before there can be reconciliation. That will take a lot of work. It means addressing questions of reparations and looking at the way in which we engage in mission. The authors conclude that "racism is hard-wired into this country from its founding and then through its constitution and religious, social, economic, and political life. Undoing it will take more than reading a book or going to one protest. But change and transformation and hope are also in the DNA of the Christian Disciple" (p. 124). Addressing the challenge won't be easy, but this should not deter us or lead to complacency. That is not an option.

 It's a tough read, and that is to be expected. It challenges and educates. If I have any critique is that the conversation remains too binary between black and white. While the challenges faced by Native Americans, Latinos/as, and Asians are addressed, it's mostly on the margins of the conversation. If we're going to engage in true redeeming experiences, we'll need to broaden our horizons. Nonetheless, as the current political situation reminds us, there is much work to be done if we're to truly become that Beloved Community envisioned by Dr. King. The goal is not becoming color-blind, for that simply negates the wonderful diversity that is humanity. Rather it is a move toward respect and celebration of our diversity so that out of the many we might be one.

Former buyside analyst now running my own fund for accredited investors. Things to know:
1) I research a lot of companies, but invest in very few. My goal on SA is to provide analysis, particularly of small and underfollowed companies, that readers can use as a starting point for their own research. When you read my articles, please understand that I try to present a high-level look. It's up to the reader to determine if it's the sort of situation that is worth monitoring. Note that I usually try to err on the side of conservatism, so just because I'm not enthused by a particular investment candidate doesn't mean you shouldn't be.
2) I appreciate comments whether you agree with me or not - especially in cases where I might be wrong, I'd like to know why! If you happen to be a particular expert on a topic and are interested in discussing it further, please shoot me a direct message. I would love to chat. Or if, you know, you're just a lonely value investor who wants a friend. Jokes aside, I've made lots of great friends through SA and am always open to talking.
3) If you enjoy reading my work, in no particular order, you might also enjoy reading fellow SA authors Vince Martin, Stephen Simpson, Brendan Rose, Brian Grosso, Bumbershoot Holdings, Adib Motiwala, Jeremy Raper, Investing 501, and Ted Barac. Most of them have professional investment expertise and the ones who don't are equally insightful. Like Amazon recommendations, not all of these will be perfect, but if you're new to SA, it's as good a place as any to start!
All the usual disclaimers apply... articles are provided for entertainment purposes only, interpret everything as opinion rather than fact, do your own due diligence, this is not an offer to sell securities, forward looking statements are not made using a crystal ball, etc. Most importantly, I will reiterate that everything I write is an opinion; analyzing stocks is inherently subjective and two reasonable people can come to different conclusions.

I'm not sure Twitter is for me
The other day, one of the guys sent out an e-mail to all the other writers at TCR. He mentioned that he had setup something called Twitter. I have heard of it and seen people around me using it, but I've decided that I'm sticking to Facebook. There is something magical about being able to endulge in something that would probably be considered a high school website and get so addicted to it that you find your grandma wants to be your "friend". That being said, I put the twitter out of my mind until I saw this:
WITH a cry of "holy f**king s**t", a US man is believed to have made
history by "Tweeting" the aftermath of a plane crash just moments after
the accident.
Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) user Mike Wilson was on board the Continental Airline's 737 in Denver, in the US mid-west, when it slid off the runway during take-off yesterday.
least 58 people were injured after the Texas-bound plane slid off the
runway – sheering its landing gear – and dropped into a 12m ravine.
A fire then broke out, damaging the entire right side.
Just moments after the plane came to a rest, Mr Wilson used his
mobile phone to send a message to all of his Twitter followers: "Holy
f**king s**t - I was just in a plane crash!"~ (View Full Story)
Since there is no news, I thought maybe I'd tie this into the Cubs is some sort of way. It's obvious that this Mike Wilson cat is addicted to twitter. I liken it to the addiction that we have with the Cubs. The other day I see AZ Phil's post about a new minor league coach with the name Pevey and I got excited. We're so thirsty for news that, in a sense, we're just waiting to swallow the first bit of news that comes over the wire. Things like twitter make that happen. It's there you get nuggets that say someone just saw Ryan Dempster running or Lou Piniella in Nordstoms with his shirt off and rumors begin to fly. "Is Ryan Dempster training for a marathon?" "Is Lou Piniella secretly a gay pole dancer?" Is that a good thing? I'm not sure. It certainly makes for an interesting transition to the new way news and media is reported.
I'm not sure when, or if, I'll rock the twitter. What I do know is that I won't be doing it as a plane is crashing, unless of course that plane is carrying me back home from a Cubs World Series.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Now you know why all passangers' electronics are to be turned off before take off.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
...and I'm sure investigators documentation now and will find this Mike Wilson at fault by interfering with the electronic instrumentation on the aircraft.
Headlines? "Twitter leads to life sentence"
of course he might be dead which implies his life sentence might be short.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
If we can't use twitter while crash landing a plane. Then the terrorists truly HAVE won.

Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
Heyman from SI is reporting that they're on the verge of signing him.
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
It's gone up to $180 million now.
Joel Sherman of the Post says that they'll now trade one of their outfielders, Matsui and Swisher may be fits for the Cubs RF spot. Not sure how healthy Godzilla is and his arm is better suited to left.
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
Just a thought...
The Yanks now desperately need to unload Nick Swisher, who is a switch-hitter and hits better from the left side. 2008 was clearly an aberration, as he is a legitmate 25-30 HR/.380 OBP guy. He is owed $5.3 million for 2009, with another $15.75 guaranteed through 2011. There is an additional $1 million buy-out for 2012.
Instead of signing Bradley for 3/$30 and eating 50% of Marquis salary in a lousy salary dump deal, he trades Marquis straight up for Swisher. By doing so, he'd get his RF bat, and has an extra $4.5 million to spend on his 2009 team. He'd also have Swisher for the equivalent of 3/$12.175 (or $4 million per year), which would be quite a bargain.
Swisher can play all 3 OF positions if needed, and plays a nice 1B too, making him a versatile player for Lou. He is also one of the best character guys in all of baseball, unlike Bradley.
Hendry, for once, can buy low and sell high.
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
I would like Matsui, if he could play Rf.
Anyone know about his d?
He's in final year of contract and he's a pro, I don't need to see the look at me show of Nick Swisher with the Cubs.

Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
yanks are content to spend 200 zillion trillion bazillion on a roster to choke competition...they dont need to get rid of anyone.
he's expendable now, but this is the yanks and they don't follow normal baseball convention of give/take on the roster.
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
"The Yanks now desperately need to unload Nick Swisher, who is a switch-hitter and hits better from the left side."
Sorry, but Swisher's stats the past three years don't back you up.
Re: Texiera Signs with Yankees
good for my FA frenzy entry....
I'd get in on Swisher over Abreu. Probably take Dunn or Bradley just above him though. Don't see Swisher in the .251 BABIP range next year, so a good 30-50 pt boost in his average stats wouldn't shock me.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Corey Patterson gets an $800,000 minor league deal from the Nationals. Same price as Gathright.

Btw, I like this Aiello fella. Nice little articles.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
That seems to ring true, crunch.
I was afraid of what the Yanks might do as I updated the 2008 roster of my baseball video game to reflect FAs and NTFAs.
If nothing else, the Yanks shouldn't be competition for Abreu, which is nice.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
I think Nick Swisher is Adam Dunn with less power. Also cost less so who knows.
I wouldn't mind Xavier Nady for RF. I wonder how high the Yanks are on him?
But i wouldn't mind one of the group of Nady, Swisher, Matsui, or Damon.
Think we can convince them to swap one of them for Marquis? LoL. I can dream.
Other rumors
Mets and Lowe are now deep into talks...
Angels GM said there's no way in hell Manny Ramirez will be an Angel.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
I always liked the way Damon played...Great idea, Swisher for Marquis. As for Matsui, I don't understand why Soriano couldn't play right. His arm is his greatest defensive asset. Playing Soriano in right would give us several more options-Dunn,etc..
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Right field sun at Wrigley is nasty. Think about how lost Sori looked in left last year. Moving him to right has un-educated boo birds written all over it.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Taken from MLBTradeRumors:
Per Joel Sherman, the Yankees -- "He says they'll now attempt to trade one of Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Xavier Nady, and Nick Swisher."
Awesome news. Nady? Swisher? Matsui? Suddenly, a whole new market for OF opens up.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Maybe Gorilla Matsui would help Fukkake break out of his funk. Question is, can Matsui play the OF anymore with his creaky knees? If he can, there's nothing wrong with his consistent 120 OPS+ in the OF.
Swisher, OTOH, can play some CF if you needed him to, as well as some 1B. A more flexible option. He damn near grew up at Wrigley Field with his Dad, so maybe he'd like to play for the Cubs. I think I'd rather take a chance on Swisher than Milton Bradley's injury history.
There's no way the Yanks will move X Nady though, they need that guy for corner OF.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
Of course, Matsui has been banged up 2 of the last 3 seasons, and is 34...and prolly needs 20-40 games at DH to rest those creaky knees.
Re: I'm not sure Twitter is for me
If the Cubs weren't really in on Swisher for the price on him in the first trade, why are they in on him now? Because free agent prices are up? Because they can trade with the Yankees instead of the White Sox?
I'd love to get Swisher on the cheap.

Reds pitching meeting tomorrow:
"Hey coach...maybe we should walk Bryant?"
"No...keep challenging him with fastballs! What kind of man are you?! The Cubs walked Harper, and look what happened there! They got teased for it, by one of the Nat players! Is that what you want?"
How can I get that feature? I think it woudl be a win-win for all involved.
Ian Happ is hitting.733 after 5 games at Tennessee. He went into tonight's game hitting .667 -- and went 3-for-3 to raise his average.
2-for-3, including a bomb, for LaStella at Iowa. Pierce Johnson very bad -- 2IP, 5ER. Pitching prospects not looking so hot -- Underwood has been awful.
Did Jiminez get hurt? I noticed he came out early yesterday.
Contreras keeps hitting/walking like this, and Miggy keep up the poor D and lack of offense - the kid could be the #1 catcher very soon.
it doesn't hurt that the Cardinals lose the KC and the Pirates lost too.
...still trying to process what I just saw. From both KB and Jake. Walking Billy Hamilton twice is a cry for help. I think the nudie photos are messing with Jake's head.
Hopefully Peralta's time on the Cubs roster will be shorter than R. Soriano's.
it took 9 pitches for peralta to give up his 1st cubs homer. neat.
damn...totally missed that ruben quevedo died on june 7th. he was only 37...heart attack.
he threw some really horrible games for the cubs in 2000 and followed it up by doing the same for 3 season for the brewers.
Holy Kris Bryant what?!
Hitting 3 HR, 2 doubles in a game. Never been done in mlb history per Len/Bob.
walks? this is baseball, not a nature hike. he needs to get his head in the game.
in my opinion, he would have been better off hitting 2 homers rather than walking twice. /moneyballs
Rizzo: 2-3, homer, double, 2 walks - meh
in other news, the site seems to be eating about 50% of my comments...which is probably a good thing in hindsight.
The Tucker Barnhart reactions after each Kris Bryant HR are kind of priceless.
...but, he's also good at home runs, too.
also, rizzo.

Azercell opens new Express Office in Baku
12 April 2014 [11:00] -
The number of Azercell's Express offices in Baku has reached 20, according to a message from Azercell Telecom.
The leader of Azerbaijan's telecom market Azercell continues the expansion of Azercell Express offices in Baku and regions in order to provide high quality services for its subscribers.
On April 11, Azercell Telecom opened another AzEx office at Yeni Binagadi settlement, Meden Street, 3. The new AzEx office will operate based on "one-stop shopping" concept, which is so convenient for subscribers.
This concept allows customers to benefit from three services at the same location: make payments for their phone bills, use full range of customer services and buy a new phone, data-card or a number.
Azercell Telecom is the first mobile operator among CIS countries to introduce its subscribers to such services by launching the first Azercell Express office in Baku on August 27, 2004.
By expanding its coverage and network, Azercell now has 20 AzEx offices in Baku and 30 AzEx offices in the regions. Moreover, four Customer Service offices operate in Baku and six in the regions. New AzEx office, opened in Binagadi will enable subscribers to enjoy the benefits of the most professional and exemplary customer service in the country.
Azercell is continuing to increase the number of its Express offices all over the country in order to provide all its customers with prompt and top quality service.
Since early 2014, Azercell has already launched three new AzEx offices. The company will continue bringing benefits for its subscribers by opening three more AzEx offices in Baku and five AzEx offices in the regions till late this year.
For more information contact : email@example.com.
Azercell Telecom LLC was founded in 1996 and since the first years sustains a leading position on the market.
Azercell introduced number of technological innovations in Azerbaijan: GSM technology, GPRS/EDGE, 24/7 Customer Care, full-time operating Azercell Express offices, mobile e-service ASAN imza (ASAN signature) and others.
With 53 percent share of Azerbaijan's mobile market Azercell's network covers 99.8 percent of the country's population. By late 2013 the number of Azercell's subscribers reached 4.5 million people.
In 2011 Azercell deployed 3G and in 2012 the fourth generation network - LTE in Azerbaijan. The company is the leader of Azerbaijan's mobile communication industry and is the biggest investor in the non-oil sector.
Azercell is a part of the TeliaSonera Group of Companies, which has subsidiaries in more than 20 countries with total number of 186 million subscribers and 27,000 employees.

Gay and happy ... but the journey continues
Opinion: Columns
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and announced their ruling on the challenge to Proposition 8 in California, this showed up on a friend's Facebook page:
"I was telling my kids about the historic importance of today's Supreme Court rulings. My daughter asked if we were talking about gay people as in people who are really happy or the other kind of gay. I told her that today they are likely one and the same."
Based on the atmosphere at an impromptu local celebratory gathering that night, I think my friend was absolutely right. After years of struggling — both personal and political struggles — the efforts of gay and lesbian Americans and their allies to achieve full equality took a giant step forward. Some 50 or so local residents and leaders gathered at that celebratory event. And there were likely hundreds, if not thousands, of similar celebrations going on all across the country.
Members of the Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association (OPALGA) are among those who are gay — in the "really happy" sense of the word. This local grassroots organization has had several really happy milestones in the journey to equality.
1989: The village of Oak Park's Human Rights Ordinance was amended to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment (by the village and village contractors), housing and public accommodations.
1994: The village extended Domestic Partnership benefits to same-sex partners of village employees. That same year, the action was affirmed by public vote via a citizen-led referendum. This was the first affirmation of its type by citizen vote to pass in the country.
1997: The Domestic Partnership Registry for same-sex couples in Oak Park was established. This was the first of its kind in Illinois and became a model for other communities to develop their own.
2011: The state of Illinois began granting Civil Union status to gay and lesbian couples.
Even with this list of happy milestones, and last week's historic rulings, the journey is not over.
The next big challenge is full marriage equality in the state of Illinois. With any luck — and a lot of hard work — that could come this fall. OPALGA is grateful for the support of our local state representatives, La Shawn Ford and Camille Lilly and state Senator Don Harmon. Our hope is that the Supreme Court rulings will set the stage for other legislators who have been on the fence to now move to the right side of history and support marriage equality in the state.
Our hope, too, is that the rulings will send a positive, supportive message to gay and lesbian teens who may still be struggling with their sexuality. Supporting gay and lesbian youth has been and remains one of our key focus areas as an organization. This year, in fact, OPALGA is looking into using the funds raised from the annual Oak Park Area Leadership Awards Gala to establish a scholarship for local high school students.
So, yes, the Supreme Court rulings last week made us happy. But the journey to full equality — and happiness — continues.
Greg Raub is co-chair of the Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association.

I believe the referendum actually took place in early 1998, after the registry was approved.

Corruption, Greed, and Lust. They're all represented on the hooks of today. Tomorrow, they'll be stinging Gluttony, Desire, and Sloth. Go ahead. Tell yourself you're better than all of them. But you can't. Hell can be funny like that. Down here it's all just sin. Everyone here is screwed just like you. They don't care who you sliced, diced, or cheated. No on is escaping this heinous place. Your roommate is an ax murderer. Eerily, he's not threatening. How can he be? Here, the Fallen Angel owns your body, mind and soul. As such, no one can take your life. It's already been taken. Or was it given? Neither matters. Did you seriously think you were living a virtuous life. At least Satan serves beer in Hell.
