Cdc6 (C42F7) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total cdc6 protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human cdc6.
The initiation of DNA replication in mammalian cells is a highly coordinated process that ensures duplication of the genome only once per cell division cycle. Origins of replication are dispersed throughout the genome, and their activities are regulated via the sequential binding of pre-replication and replication factors. The origin recognition complex (ORC) is thought to be bound to chromatin throughout the cell cycle (1,2). The pre-replication complex (Pre-RC) forms in late mitosis/early G1 phase beginning with the binding of CDT1 and cdc6 to the origin, which allows binding of the heterohexameric MCM2-7 complex. The MCM complex is thought to be the replicative helicase, and formation of the pre-RC is referred to as chromatin licensing. Subsequent initiation of DNA replication requires the activation of the S-phase promoting kinases cdk2 and cdc7. Cdc7, which is active only in complex with its regulatory subunit dbf4, phosphorylates MCM proteins bound to chromatin and allows binding of the replication factor cdc45 and DNA polymerase (3,4).
Replication licensing is controlled in part by the degradation of cdc6 in quiescent cells. Phosphorylation of cdc6 by cdk2 prevents its degradation, allowing pre-replication complexes to form (5). Cdc6 has recently been shown to play an important role in the intra-S-phase p21 Waf1/Cip1-dependent DNA damage response (6,7). Both cdc6 and CDT1 are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway in response to DNA damage associated with re-replication (8).

Finally done!
Finally done!
DVC45, I like that rigid Diamondback frame. Nice bike!
oldfool, I like your home brew utility bike. I grew up about 40 miles from Bayou Blue, and I've handled quite a few flat-back feed buckets for horses. That's a great idea for those buckets!
sashae are those 717 rims? Any problems putting fatties on them?
It's none of my business what other people think of me.
Yep, Mavic X717s. No problems with the Fat Franks thus far...
I put huge tires on my bike once, man that sucked. I ride alot and it's hard enough without a ton of rubber. I guess with disc brakes and tires like that, your rims will last forever. Is that the thinking? I gave mine fatties away after a week. You must be a beast!
I just finished putting this together this afternoon, so my first ride was with a load on the back.
Just a bit of headshake until I got rolling. I sure got a lot of looks!

Hi all, I have a DIY longtail but it's pretty generic so I haven't ever bothered to take photos of it. Instead, however, I thought I would show off the custom cargo bike I made for a local delivery service.
I call it The Truck. It is almost 11 feet long with an 8 foot wheelbase, it will carry 12 common plastic tubs for a gross vehicle weight of 500 lbs. The rear wheel has zero dish and uses a special 14mm BMX axle with a 6-speed cluster. The kickstand can be remotely operated by cable with a special pull handle mounted atop the stem. Chain slap is minimized with a layer of UHMW beside the chainstay. Mostly made with materials and bike components rescued from the landfill.

Bike Friday Family Triple (The Truckster!)
Burley D'Lite Trailer (Hitches on ALL bikes!)
It will negotiate normal street corners without problem. A U-turn is still possible in a space that is at least 25 ft wide, but as you might expect, the movement is more like that of rotating the front wheel about the rear wheel. For really tight maneuvers, I recommend the operator dismount and, facing backwards and straddling the front wheel, use the handlebars as if moving a low flat dolly.
The beauty of the cable-operated kick-stand is that the rider need not worry about balancing the load while dismounting. Even better is that the load is only about 8"-9" from the ground and if you come alongside a curb with the sides just overhanging, the bike can be set down on the curb without much tilt. Though that seems like a lot less clearance for turning, it still calculates to cornering at about 0.5G... more than most riders ever do on any bike and way more than any fully loaded cargo bike should be going.
Just amazing - the cable actuated center stand is ingenious.
My theory for loaded CG is more from trucks so prob not appropriate for bikes...

Actually, I studied trucks and other cargo vehicles of various types for this commission. Take a look at the next truck that goes by.... flatbed, cube, semi-trailer, etc. The rear axle(s) will be behind the middle of the loaded area.
There are several design reasons I can think of why Xtracycle puts their rack over the rear axle. One primary consideration is shipping weight and size. Moving the load forward entails making the extension kit even longer, and thus harder to ship. Moreover, because it is an addition to the existing bike, the designer cannot be certain exactly if the bike frame being modified is even strong enough to carry extra weight. By putting all the cargo weight on the rear axle, Xtracycle guarantees that any bike frame can be used, regardless if it is a Bianchi or a Flying Pigeon. Finally, the load itself is almost never large enough to affect the handling of the overall vehicle, especially if using the Wideloader wings to carry the weight down low. IME, only loads in excess of 100 lbs negatively affect the handling of the typical longtail with wings, and only when moving slower than 2 mph. If I had to guess, I'd say that the load has to reach 200 lbs before the bike requires constant attention while in motion. For what it is supposed to do, it is a good design.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
purplepeople, really nice bike! Great work!
Thanks.... the biggest problem was the required size. I am working out of an 8'x10' shed and the bike is 11' long. I'm sure the neighbours though it pretty funny to see the bike slowly growing out the door of a backyard shed.
Very nice, cabana!
I removed the rear rack from my Marin, but it's easy to hitch the B.O.B. when needed.

Celebrating the New Year in Mexico
Mexico is a country filled with people who love a party. Celebrating the New Year gives Mexico's residents a good reason to celebrate in a big way.
Just as in the U.S., most celebrations take place the evening before, on New Year's Eve.
Families decorate their homes in festive colors, with each color representing what the family hopes for in the coming year. Yellow connotes better employment conditions, and green is a sign the family wants to have a better financial situation. Red means family members want an overall improvement in their lives. White means improved health.
What do grapes have to do with celebrating the New Year in Mexico? Keep reading.
The family serves Mexican sweet bread that was baked earlier with a charm or coin hidden in the dough. The guest who receives a slice of the bread with the coin/charm is supposed to have good luck throughout the coming year.
A popular activity is to write a list of all of the unhappy or bad things that happened in the previous 12 months and, at midnight, throw the list into a fire. This symbolizes removing negative energy from one's life as the New Year arrives.
Mexicans celebrate the New Year with a late dinner with friends and family. A traditional New Year's Eve meal is pork loin or turkey. Once done eating, many families head outside to attend parties.
In the U.S., we count down the seconds right before midnight. In Mexico, people eat one grape at each of the last 12 seconds as the clock moves toward midnight, making a wish as they eat each one.
All Mattito's locations close at 9 p.m. on New Year's Eve and we'll be closed all of New Year's Day. If you'd like to celebrate early, stop by the Mattito's closest to you and enjoy some great Tex Mex dishes to ring in the New Year!

Thankful this Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving I will be thankful for a number of things, but none more important than my family. Your family is, of course, an extension of yourself, and when you can't help yourself, they are there to help you, as my family has done for me so many times.
When I have experienced difficulties at work, I knew that my family would be there. When I suffered an automobile accident, they came to assist me. When I was ill, they were there to provide comfort. When I felt that others were against me, I knew that I could turn to my family for peace and strength. This Thanksgiving, I will be able to share my thankfulness with members of my family at the same time I offer my thankfulness to them.
I am thankful for my career, which has blossomed over the years. I am fortunate that the education I received so many decades ago has not gone to waste, and that I am instead able to use the knowledge gained during those years of school to achieve and maintain a profitable career. Higher education can be costly, but what it offers in return will pay back the investment made many times over.
Finally, I am thankful for my health, which has been remarkably good over the years and will hopefully remain that way long into the future. Your health is part of you, and when it goes bad, it affects everything else in your life. I know others around me who have experienced serious illnesses, from which some never recovered. I owe my good health to the fact that I take care of myself by watching my diet and, of course, by not smoking.
Family, career and health. These are the things for which I will be giving thanks this Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for this year?

Thanksgiving Alternatives
Thanksgiving is a time for families to get together and enjoy their time with each other. Unfortunately, there are some families who do not get to enjoy a "normal" Thanksgiving together. In today's busy world, work may get in the way or scheduling conflicts arise. Even worse, a family may be torn apart from past arguments. For those families, they find alternative ways to enjoy the Holiday.
Some of the alternative ways families spend Thanksgiving together include going out to eat, seeing a movie, or spending the night playing games. Even though these families do not spend Thanksgiving together the normal way, they still spend quality time together, which is the real spirit of the Holidays.
If you are not spending Thanksgiving together with extended family this year, you should come out to Mattitos. We offer the finest Mexican foods with excellent customer service. We also offer a catering service, so we can bring the food to you this Thanksgiving.
Our buffet is lined with a variety of foods for you to enjoy. You can take your pick of any foods for a low price. What would be better, purchasing hundreds of pounds worth of food for your family to enjoy or having all you can eat for one low price?
There is no reason to spend Thanksgiving alone. Grab a couple friends and come out to Mattitos this year, and have a great time with great food and great friends. You only get one Thanksgiving a year, and we know how important it is to take time to remember all the things we are thankful for.
Cinco de Mayo!
Celebración! Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is known to most people as the day that Mexico was freed. But to Texans, it is a celebratory holiday to enjoy Mexican cuisine, drinks, good people, and a great party!
What better place to have fun this upcoming Cinco de Mayo than at Mattito's!
Cinco de Mayo will be properly celebrated at Mattito's at 7778 Forest Lane; Mattito's Frisco, located at 6129 Main Street; and the newest location in Las Colinas at 1001 MacArthur Park Drive. DJ music kicks -off the fiesta at 2:00 p.m. at each location, joined by a face painter and master magician Marty Westerman (Frisco location only). $4 margaritas and $3 beer are available 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., along with the award-winning Tex-Mex cuisine all night.
Beginning at 2:00 p.m. inside the restaurant and outdoor tent in the adjacent parking lot, the Mexican holiday is commemorated with mariachis, DJ music, mechanical bull rides and tequila tastings compliments of Corozon Tequila, games and prizes, and of course, drink specials and cuisine from the award-winning Tex-Mex menu. Celebrity D J Brandon Olds starts at 6:00 p.m. and The Monco Poncho band takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Adding to the excitement, Mattito's will give away 1000 cap guns to attendees to blast off during the bands shows.

Eating Healthy and Light at Mattito's
For example, our delicious fajitas are well known for featuring tender beef and chicken. Our rice, beans and guacamole are also second to none. However, we also have an option of cutting out the meat and including mixed vegetables instead. Get that fajita without sour cream to help cut out even more calories.
Our taco salad is also a well known and delicious choice for many of our patrons. It features seasoned beef or chicken, in a taco shell and lettuce, guacamole, cheese, refried beans, sour cream and fresh tomatoes. Again, simply ask for it without the meat and sour cream. In fact, take out the cheese and you have a delicious and healthy meal.
Basically, our menu items can be altered any way you like, giving you the opportunity to cut out the unhealthy items and to eat healthier and lighter. However, many of our signature elements, such as our refried beans and rice remain in the dishes, keeping them tasty and healthy. Wash it down with a glass of complimentary water instead of soda or tequila to keep your meal even lighter and healthier.
Mattito's offers a party service for banquets designed to benefit a wide range of people and situations. Any type of party is perfect for our banquets , as it can sit up to 200 people. Keep your party guests healthy and happy with our lean and healthy dishes.

Make your New Year's Resolution- No Bad Mexican Food!
New Years resolutions can be hard to keep. We here at Mattito's understand that we all want to lose those extra pounds, quit smoking, wake up earlier, get that promotion or any number of difficult and hard to manage resolutions. Is it any wonder that most resolutions fail? Why not make an easy resolution this year? Resolve to never eat bad Mexican food again. Instead, come to Mattito's for your party banquets or drop by anytime.
Our drink selection will make sure you never go thirsty. Our fine Mexican sodas come straight from across the border and offer a unique experience for our patrons. Imagine drinking a peaches and cream soda with your shrimp tacos. We also serve a fine selection of liquor, including our high quality tequila. Make sure you never drink and drive while out! Always have a designated driver that hasn't touched a drop of liquor. This helps avoid annoying car tickets and dangerous car crashes.
So, next time you have a New Years party and are considering different banquets, why not try our excellent services? Not only do we provide a place for your party and provide excellent, prompt, we'll help you keep that resolution by serving you only the finest Mexican food. We're jealous of each and everyone of our customers each time we serve them. After all, they get to eat our delicious food.
Gotta Love Tequila!
We here at Mattitos love helping people plan party banquets. We also love tequilla. Or at least serving tequila! This favorite Mexican drink is just one of the many benefits of throwing a party the Mattitos way! Each of our restaurants has an excellent banquet room that is available to rent for the day.
Our excellent Tex-Mex menu is fit to the gills with excellent, mouth watering food. Fajitas of all types are one of our major specialties. How does tender beef, chicken or vegetables served with rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream sound? Or chicken fried steak, cheese enchiladas with chile con carne, baja chicken, nachos piled high with pico de gallos and sour cream sound? We know they sound delicious and spicy. They all wash down perfectly with one small shot of tequila.
All of these foods are available during one of our banquets. Our rooms can serve from 20 to 200 guests at a time. These banquets are perfect for special occasions when Tex-Mex food just HAS to be served! Imagine a wedding reception with perfectly rolled tacos instead of the normal fried chicken. Not only do we provide the place for the banquet, we also provide the chairs, the accessories and the food. We'll even clean up after you as you leave. This helps make planning these large events much easier as you don't have to focus on hiring somebody to cook the food at a rented hall or cooking and cleaning up yourself. Instead, you can focus on having a great time!

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I posted this in the MTB section, but i know alot of you don't hang out there, so i thought i would share my ride/race report. (i would have entered the cylde class, but they only had it for the sport class not the beginners )
I just finished my first XC race. I feel like I learned alot. I got caught up in the adrenaline rush and made the classic new guy mistake of starting off at too high a pace. This translated into a 9 min difference between lap one and two on a 5.5 mile 11 mile total course.
I ran in the beginners senior men I (2 laps for 11 miles age 19-29). This group unfortunately starts first, because they think you are fast, and everyone else was. I have heard other people make it sound like beginners class is a joke, and maybe it is at other places, but here i think alot of the riders should be riding in a different class, but go to beginners to grab the points (aka 1st in beginners is worth same points as 20 in sport so if you are on the cusp, or a short distance guy you grab the beginners points). I was shooting for 90 minutes and I finished in 87 stopping for one pee break and some running up hills (alot the 2nd lap) as I said a 9 min difference between laps that I need to work on. fastest guy finished in 70 minutes so 17 min off the leader didn't strike me as horrible.
I decided to go with the hydration pack (good move unless you have a team passing you bottles), and was glad I did. I wrecked once due to my front tire digging into the soft dirt/sand (racing in the pine barrens of jersey) someone ran over my rear tire, but nothing was messed up. Alot of people had mech trouble (the only ones i passed ). the course was pretty fast with tight single track, stream crossing (very rocky), Some very tight corners, alot of bridges, a tone of soft dirt/sand, and a TON of roots. The hills were short and steep (pain in the rear with roots), but pretty flat for the most part. It was a great start for me and I would defiantly tell anyone who likes XC biking to go give it a shot.
(sorry no pics [no one came with me] but there may be some on line at some point)
sorry if this is long winded and doesn't make any sense, I am pretty tired and am going to take a nap now.

Once More into the Breach: The Path to Effective Workers' Compensation Reform in Oklahoma
As observers of Oklahoma's public-policy scene are keenly aware, the field of workers' compensation reform is littered with the remains of failed reforms of years past. Why do our efforts to reform the workers' compensation system repeatedly disappoint? Because we refuse to address the chief structural feature of our system—its conception and organization as a judicial system. Conceiving of workers' compensation claims as legal causes of action, rather than employee benefits administered by the administrative branch of state government, places excessive control of the administration of the system in the hands of the judiciary. Oklahoma will not succeed in implementing the reforms necessary to reduce costs until it does what every state except Oklahoma and one other has done—transforms its system to one that is primarily administrative, with a more limited role for the judiciary. This paper lays out the best legal and structural path for finally implementing comprehensive reform in Oklahoma.

After weeks away due to numerous injuries, Steve Nash made his return a few nights ago. His first game was on Tuesday against the Timberwolves, and then, after a game off, he played again last night in the Lakers matchup against the Sixers.
It was his 40th birthday last night, but Nash showed he can still play, scoring 19 points, grabbing 4 rebounds and handing out 5 assists in 28 minutes. Plus, he embarrassed the much younger Evan Turner.
Late in the 2nd quarter, Nash crossed over behind his back, sending Turner the wrong way and giving Nash an open lane to the basket. Even a broken leg couldn't stop Nick Young from celebrating Nash's nashty (#nailedit) move.

Pooh-poohing is what many people do about the Pencil Museum.
"I am going to Keswick and I will probably re-visit the Pencil Museum," I told colleagues in the office. They snorted with derision.
"You might like it, actually" I went on.
"It's quite graphic."
Further snorts.
"At least it'll be quiet. Jan. Only you there!"
These chortling fools, I should explain, are not people who have ever visited. They are people with unenquiring minds to whom the pencil has little meaning. They believe they know what the experience of visiting the Pencil Museum will be like and quite frankly wild horses would never drag them there.
On the basis of the Pencil Museum being a "must do" when I'm in Keswick, they have all declared they would never want to go on holiday with me. Fair enough. They don't even own bicycles.
Yes, the name could be more dynamic. But in times past, before Gameboys and PSPs and the electronic telegraph, youngsters were grateful to go to the Pencil Museum and go home with a nice free pencil.
My own family were pooh-pooh-ers. The first time I exhorted them all to come with me and have a jolly time they preferred to sit in the car while I went alone. They fed my sandwiches to the ducks.
This latest visit was a big improvement. The nice lady on the desk who took my admission money gave me a free pencil and it's sitting nicely sharpened in the Cumberland Pencil Museum pot which DT man generously bought for me as a gift (£1.69). I'm just spoiled rotten.
Should they re-name and re-brand the place? I like it as it is. The name Pencil Museum keeps out the riff-raff. Anyway, they are doing a grand job of being dead trendy. The Pencil Museum is on Twitter. They have seventeen followers of which I am proud to declare I am one. Oh yes, I believe I am getting down with da kiddies.
A Museum re-brand would call for titles like Alien Pencils II – Revenge of the Sharpeners. Ninja Pencils 3B. Dynamite Graphite!! Pencils r Us!! I think the more exclamation marks the better. Or maybe just "The Secret World of the Pencil."
Humble pencils do have a secret world. At least they did in the World War II, and who knows, they probably still do now.
In the war, certain folk at the Cumberland Pencil Factory in Keswick had to sign the Official Secrets Act because they were involved in making particular pencils issued to air crew and sent to POW camps in Germany.
The reason? In place of a section of lead was a tiny, rolled up piece of silk, imprinted with a map of Germany showing escape routes. The pencil would also feature a hidden compass. And a code letter on the exterior of the pencil indicated which region the map covered. Clever – and undetected.
The museum isn't big enough to be boring in any respect. It's a celebration of the pencil industry in Keswick and the fact that graphite was first discovered in Borrowdale in the 16th century.
The other amazing thing at the Pencil Museum is the World's Largest Pencil. I forget how big it is but it weighs 948 pounds. It might be as long as a bus. A short bus. It's right there in what must be the World's Largest Pencil Case. They should really have declared how many men it takes to lift it – or how many, end to end, would stretch the length of a football pitch but maybe they should consider that for the future.
In keeping with a place that started making pencils in 1832 (they've moved the factory operation to Workington now) the shop is the best pencil shop in the world. It is a showcase for the range of world-famous Cumberland pencils.
There is every type of pencil you could possibly wish for – plus a display of Cumberland pencils through the ages so you'd definitely recognise the tins from your childhood. A new pencil is a practical, artistic and often unexpected gift which anyone would surely be grateful to receive.
If there's anyone still reading at this point, congratulations. You win a free Cumberland pencil! Actually no, but tell you what, they have a pot of pencils and rather nice drawing paper on every table in the cafe at the Museum.
While you are having your cuppa, you can doodle away and try most of the pencils that they now make. They are terribly sexy, high quality pencils. The 'coloursoft' range is a total joy. You might not think that this, in itself, is much fun, but when you consider that some pencils turn into watercolours with a few streaks of the Cumberland water pen, it gets quite exciting, I can tell you.
It was remarkable that everyone in the cafe became absorbed in drawing or painting with the pencils. There were no children there the morning we visited so it was just adults; adults hunched over their work, some tongues protruding slightly with concentration, completing their master work while their tea got cold.
See what I mean? Well worth a visit. And the best drawings/paintings go up on the wall. The quality of some of the artistry was staggering.
Me? Oh I doodled the same kind of eye and face I've been doodling since I was 15. Then I drew a springer spaniel. DT man did a boat and a very realistically wet expanse of sea.
When the sprogs were small, I used to sit and draw them. Studies of their adorable chubby little feet and those perfect little hands with tiny fingernails. Some quick sketches of the telly-addict son no 2 while he was engrossed in SuperTed. I haven't drawn anything decent for years but where there are newly sharpened Derwent Onyx pencils, there is definitely hope…

More inmates in Pitt County are being released and placed on an electronic monitoring program, one of the results the sheriff says of not getting the funds they needed.
The sheriff's office asked for 26-million dollars, but got a million less.
Sheriff Neil Elks says in efforts to keep both the staff and the inmates safe at the detention center, a large number of non-violent inmates are being released and placed on an electronic monitoring program. Elks says, "We probably have close to 100 people on electronic monitoring that would normally be in jail, so we've relieved some of the capacity by doing electronic monitoring."
Elks says the sheriff's office had to cut four positions while the detention center had to cut five positions.
Here's what they say that means for the detention center and why more inmates are on electronic monitoring. The detention center holds 596 beds. But due to a shortage in staff, only 500 of the beds can be used. And because certain inmates are not allowed to share cells with other inmates, full capacity is considered 460. Just last month the detention center housed 535 inmates forcing several to sleep on the floor.
County commissioner Glenn Webb says with a shrinking budget there was no way to avoid cuts throughout county departments. Webb says 90 positions were eliminated in this year's budget---all of which have been vacant for the last year. Webb also says they saved 40 jobs that had people in them. Fourteen of those came from public safety, which Webb says is a big priority. "It's a concern of mine and the rest of the board that we have this deficiency with staffing."
Webb says, "Safety is our number one concern, with the sheriff's deputies and the jailers especially because they are the ones inside with the prisoners that we're housing in excess of what we would normally house and so we are very concerned about their safety. If something's not working we can always readdress it. There's going to be budget amendments throughout the year, that's not an uncommon process"
In the meantime, Sheriff Elks says the increase in electronic monitoring is just a temporary solution to what appears to be a continuous problem. "I just worry about now, I made the commitment to the citizens and I have to able to make that same commitment to the detention officers and keep them safe too."

Shana came to Madrid in 2009 for a brief summer study program and couldn't stay away for long. Immediately after finishing university, she came back in September 2010 and has since been spending her time navigating the English language with primary school children and constantly rediscovering all of the charms that captured her for the first time.
While I am of the firm belief that Madrid is a fantastic and beautiful place in all seasons, all bets are off once the crisp autumn air rolls into the city. The leaves change, the oppressive summer heat subsides, and the siesta begins yielding to an afternoon stroll through the always enchanting Parque Retiro. However, to fully enjoy this season, you must first equip yourself correctly. Everybody–guiri or otherwise–wears scarves here, both for form and for function in the colder months. Long or square, thick or thin, solid or patterned? They are the perfect accessory when the wind begins to blow, not to mention they might make you look a little bit more Madrileño! Don't have any scarves? Don't worry. Head over to El Rastro next Sunday morning and you will find scarves of all patterns and colors, starting as cheap as 2€ each.
A Madrid autumn also comes with plenty to do. Every year in late October/early November, Madrid's Jazz festival begins and brings world-famous names and acts to the capital city. Individual tickets begin around 10€, with shows held in the Auditorio Conde Duque (Metro: Noviciado), Teatro Fernán Gomez (Metro: Colón), and Teatro Circo Price (Metro: Atocha). This year, the festival runs from the 2nd of November to the 4th of December and is sure to entertain.
A great place to see the fall colors is Aranjuez, just south of the city. A quick cercanías train ride from Atocha, Aranjuez is a charming town with good food, a grand palace, and incredible gardens. While this town is often visited in the summer via its famous Strawberry Train, the gardens are best viewed after the summer heat disappears and the orange leaves begin scattering themselves along the walkways. Be sure to bring your camera with a fully-charged battery, because maxing out your memory card on this journey is a given.
If you're more of a summer person, don't fret–the warm weather will be back before you know it. Until then, bundle up with one of your newly-purchased scarves and return to enjoying sangria's cold-weather cousin, the ever-reliable vino tinto.

Split Vote?
If you live in NY State, your vote doesn't matter a damn. Obama will take NY walking away. The same is true for California and Illinois. If you're in those states, and like Mitt Romney, you might as well stay home on Tuesday; your vote is a waste of time. If you live in Texas or Arizona, and you think Obama deserves another four years, forget it; your vote's a throw away.
There are few states where it will make a difference, but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what happens in Ohio. Once again, Ohio will determine who is going to be running the show for the next four years. That's crazy.
State Population = 11.5mm - 3% of US total
State GDP = $500Bn - 3.7% of US total
Four years ago I voted for Obama. I thought he would make a difference. I supported his campaign with contributions. I carried his petitions during the primary. I got the vote out on Election Day. It's hard to describe how disappointed I am. There is no way I'm going to vote for Obama again. But that doesn't matter; I live in NY. I'm a protest voter for Romney. I'm voting knowing full well that the electoral votes in my state are going to Obama. Say I'm not alone. Now add in Sandy.
There are a large number of people who are displaced in one way or another in the northeast. The dislocations that the storm caused will have an influence on voter turnout in the region. Add into the mix, another weather problem. The same area that was hit with Sandy, is going get a Nor-easter on Wednesday. The talk from the weather guys is for 3-4 inches of rain, and more wind. After getting crushed by Sandy a week ago, many people will spend Tuesday worrying about storm preparation. They won't be thinking of voting.
There are a hell of a lot of Democrats in NJ, NY and Ct. that might just stay away on Tuesday. I don't think it will change anything as far as the electoral votes go. The states hit by Sandy (and the ones in the way of the next blow) will still end up with electoral ballots going to Obama. But I wonder if this combination of events will have a consequence on the (unimportant) popular vote.
It would not be unique if the electoral votes ended up different than the popular vote. That has happened in 1824, 1876, 1888 and of course, the big one in 2000 when Gore got 536,000 more votes than Bush.
With all this in mind, my election forecast:
- Obama will win the Electoral College (it will be close, but no tie).
- Romney will win the popular vote by more than 500K (the "Sandy Factor" will keep traditional NE Democratic voters at home).
- Ohio will prove to be the determining factor for the Electoral vote. The Ohio result will be very close. There will be recounts. There will be challenges. There will be questions raised about write-in ballots. (See report from Citi on this: Link)
- It will take two weeks+ to resolve the election of 2012.
If the election plays out along these lines, the opportunity for post-election compromise will be lost. In this scenario, the most likely outcome is that nothing happens, and the country falls off the fiscal cliff.

Um why did you bother voting
So let me get this straight. If I go to the county fair and they have an ice cream contest with chocolate, vanilla, moose tracks and fudge swirl I should only vote for chocolate or vanilla because otherwise I'm throwing my vote away?
Anybody that says "you are throwing your vote away" is a DUMBASS and should NEVER be listened to. The system works by casting YOUR vote for whom YOU want. I don't want chocolate and I don't want vanilla. I'm voting for moose tracks and will not apologize for that vote. Ever.
Election day? I thought November 6 was National Buy a Gun Day??
Obama was unknown enough that he COULD have picked an interesting senior finance/economics team during the height of the financial crisis.
But of course we all know how that turned out.
McCain meanwhile was a known crook in so deep that one barely knew where he had sunk beneath the surface by the occassional bubble popping.
So please save the carping. It makes you look like idiots.
"Four years ago I voted for Obama. I thought he would make a difference."
From one of the greatest intellects of our time - "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"
Yet, people do get fooled over and over and over and over again. At least Romney waited until the last few weeks of his campaign to use the rightfully totally discredited bullshit phrase "real change."
Anyone who still believes that there will EVER be "real change" from either of the campaign donation owned major parties is a complete and total idiot.
Poor Bruce, you should've been brighter! This is how the Bolshies won in all the other countries, they appealed to the intellectuals!
Just flip a coin [ http://www.random.org/coins/?num=1&cur=60-usd.5000c-gold-buffalo ] and get this erection over with.
No, Ohio is not determining who is going to be President. Every voter is. The sum is the whole of its parts, not the sum of of one part.
A California voter who votes for Romney is not throwing their vote away. Nor is an Obama voter in Texas. By such a false reckoning, with an alleged near tie going into electon day, virtuallyhalf the people in the country are throwing their vote away.
By such a false reckoning, people should wait for the early exit polling results then go out and vote for the person who is ahead, whether they like the person or not, to ensure they are not throwing their vote away by voting for the loser.
I am voting third party. I am guanteed to vote for the loser. But i am not throwing my vote away. I would be throwing my vote away, by voting for either of the two people who have the chance to win.
Good article Bruce, but I think you underestimate the number of citizens who like you, and I, vigorously supported obummer only to learn that he is just another shit talking, two faced, lying weasel fucker. In other words, a typical politician. He is indeed an impressive speaker, but that just makes him more dangerous. I bought his shit hook line and sinker and will NEVER make that mistake again (I hope anyway). The problem was that GW had created a perfect environment for bambam's shit spew to land and take root. Very sad, but this time is indeed different. That obuthole is a peerless liar is now common knowledge. I think many voters, like me, will stay away from the polling sites this time around, because the sting from the betrayel by obiteme is still too fresh. I absolutely will not vote for Romney. Voting also tends to lend credibility to our two party system, when in reality, none exsists. I will protest by just saying no to participating in the rigged game. I think many others that voted for obumpy will do likewise and Romney will win by a surprising margin.
Naw, I think it's status quo ante. Obama wins the presidency with over 300 electoral votes and about a 1.5% - 2% popular vote majority (I think we are up to 6 different poll aggregators that have converged on this). Republicans retain the House, Democrats the Senate. $6 billion spent to accomplish absolutely nothing.
What an idiot Krasting is. Obama and his minions caused the whole crisis on purpose (not that the Rs are much better), so your thinking that he might make things better is ridiculous. Plus he is NOT ELIGIBLE. He was born British of a British subject Kenyan father.
He knows he is not eligible, and so does all of congress. They want it that way so that there is no Constitution-- when the POTUS, who is the executor of the laws is ineligible, then there is no Constitution and no law. It is tyranny. They took your sovereignty while you were looking down at your Apple Chinese slave made Iphone. Get a clue.
The Republic can be restored only by the realization of Obama's Usurpation, which was done INTENTIONALLY to absolve the Republic by the criminal banker/politician class, under cover of the useful idiot media and judiciary. The blood of tyrants and patriots will be needed.
MickV your stupidity is absolutely breathtaking. Krasting's article demonstrates a level of thoughtfulness that you, clearly, are unable of achieving or understanding. The tripe you are spewing has been recycled soooooo many times now that only a utter idiot, like you, would bring it up. Shouldn't you be attending a skin head survivalist training seminar in Mississippi or something.?
Read Federalist #68. An "improper ascendant" (improper ancestor") should be eschewed in order that that the chief magistrate be a "child of their own" (natural born Citizen). It is not possible that a natural born Citizen is the British born scion of a British subject Kenyan father. He is certainly not a child of our own, and has already demonstrated many times his lack of allegiance and attachment.
"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigner". Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167
Foreign paternity voids eligibility for President since 1787 "at the ratification of the Constitution". Obama's birth was 174 years too late for the grandfather clause.
If the Jew York media says it's a virtual tie, it's a Romney Romp.
Look at the crowds. Obama can't draw anyone but his own paid hacks.
A protest vote is to Not vote (or vote 3rd party). I voted for NM Gary Johnson lib.
Jeez Bruce...
All that time spent driving around in a van to pick up the the drunks, crazies and the homeless to vote for Obama has come to naught.
Professional Dems know that registering the dead to vote, Chicago style, is much less labor intensive.
I feel your pain, bro.
Ah the Promise of Hope, only sheeples will believe in. As long as WMT accepts EBT who fucking cares.
Long Live 32 oz drinks, MCD , KP and PEP.
Christmas is gonna be ugly for very many. Buy that Waffle Iron on sale
This could be much worse than Bruce Krasting wrote.
North Dakota does not have voter registration. You show up with photo ID and you vote.
VA, FL, OH, NH, IA , MI, NC and CO are all very close and recounts will likely happen.
NY has a law that if fewer than 25% of RV vote, then the AG can extend the election window many days.
NE2 and ME2 can vote separately from their state.
CT, NJ and NY are all crushed under Sandy and the Nr' Easter and turnout may be very low.
Obama could lose the EC but win the PV. We get riots if that happens.
Obama could lose the EC and PV. We get riots.
The EC could tie. We get riots and it goes to Congress.
There are many ways this can go South.
Riots if Obama shits the bed...
Because one Black Friday a year isn't quite enough for his voter base.
If Obama loses and riots ensue, the resulting destruction will stimulate the economy. Ergo, Obama must go. Besides, I'm tired of his lies. I need a fresh batch of lies to keep me going.
"We face a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose wisely."

I look for another Haarp storm and a delay of the election followed by Martial Law.
That was just Christie jumping up and down in frustration.
In Texas we are are confused as to why Obama is still popular with anyone. 4 more years of this is really bad.
That's why your Texas.Spend some time in LA,Chicago,Philly,NYC,St Louis,Alanta.Then your confusion will end.
Why is Romney popular with anyone?
This election pits satan against beelzebub. Anyone who is enthusaistic has screws loose.
" Four years ago I voted for Obama. I thought he would make a differenc"....Sorry you are feckin' stupid...End of conversation.
He made a significant difference. Between laws like NDAA and numerous executive decrees, Americans are less secure now than in 2008. And thanks to the Patriot Act, Americans were far less secure in 2008 than in 1988.
Look at everything that's gotten worse in the last 4 years. Obama has made an incredible difference.
No he isn't. He just believed what a presidential candidate said. The same thing can and will happen to your vote someday.
Hey, be cool Clowns...a lotta righties voted for O....
But Bruce, i have to ask....didn't YOU get a gander at O's economic "team" in the runup to '08?
Didn't that give you pause?
I sat out '08....Prolly will this time too.
Things must suck in NY for you guys right now.....
Count your blessings... maybe try to enjoy the historic surreality of it all if you can, eh?.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
Where is V when we need him? Blowing up a building or two might make a difference on the 6th....
Blowing up the election, in a manner of speaking, is what we need to do.
What I don't get is that there is almost zero discussion of why the electoral college system is ridiculous
The electoral question you are having difficulties getting is because the education you are having is not keeping you from being in ignorance. You are not knowing the problems when the forefathers of America solved the problem they were having because little states were not having a chance to be voting when so many big states were outnumbering the peoples in their state. If the voting of only popular vote was being counted a state like wyoming would not be having any way to be making a counting of votes be counting for them. The thing that is being ridiculous is not the electoral system but the thing that is being ridiculous is the Americans who are not knowing why it is not ridiculous. It will be good when the mormon who lies and the man who lies about the running times of his running are having defeat to be understanding how bad they are.

4 years ago you voted for Obamney and now you plan to get back at Obamney by voting for Obamney? Me no understand.
Let me see. If I vote for Obama, I'll get more of the same but he's unlikely to cower toward Israel.
If I vote vor Romney, I'll get more of the same but he'll be long on Israeli schlongs.
Tough choice.
Think I'll sit this one out.
I do not understand how, after admitting last election's error, you can possibly be voting, with all of your intelligence STILL, for the lesser of two evils.
If you HAVE to vote, why not vote for a third party candidate and thereby make a real protest against the failed machine?
Your 'protest' against Obama with all of the 'mea culpa' and associated handwringing rings quite false to this oldman unless as you say, you are, indeed, quite stupid.
Please think about what the fuck you are doing so that those of vus who have more faith in you than you do yourself---will not have to read this same shitty apology two nights prior to the 2016 election.
Not to vote for the dude from NM or the locked up lady is equivalent of not voting for a third party candidate like Patrick Henry when this drama began over two hundred years ago.
Please put a little more thought behind you protest---mine is not to vote because I disenfranchised myself in 1980 for having voted for REAGAN!
Too stupid to vote is this old fool om
romney is the banker's choice based on them being his major contributors. romney will win because of this i think.
In 17 the last 18 Presidential elections if the Washington Redskins won the last game before the election the incumbent pres won.
The Redskins lost today.
That's only slightly more accurate than the possiblility that the hair on a candidate's head is a determinant, especially in the age of TV.
Eisenhower over Stevenson. Ike had (marginally more hair).
JKF had better hair than Nixon.
LBJ had more than Goldwater.
Nixon had more than Humphrey or McGovern.
Carter had more than Ford.
Reagan had more than Carter. With Mondale it was closer (hairwise).
Dukakis had more hair than Bush I, but hid it under some stupid tanker hat.
Clintoon had more than Bush I or Dole.
Bush II had about the same as Gore, and Bush won by a hair. Kerry?
Obama had more than McCain (Palin's Big Hair didn't count).
Romney has more than Obama. Time will tell.
10 wins for more hair, 2 failures, 2 too close to call by my recollection. A trend?
...says prediction markets.
These daily charts are still breaking down & overdue sell off expected after Obama victory: SPX / CRUDE / COPPER / GOLD / SILVER / EURUSD / AUDUSD
USD will rally.
obama has the voters who still think hes the answer to bush. to those people i give you my deepest sympathies. romney is the better man, not that it makes much difference. well it does, though obama has learned not to show his animus toward the white race. he still has those chicago racketeering habits to shed, or not. frankly he is corrupt and venal as they come. he has the poor and downtrodden on his side, those poor saps. i would rather starve to death in a ditch than take a handout from the man, but i don't need to make that decision, so i cast my vote on their behalf.
Sure you would!
R&R lose Tuesday. Why? Because of the Tea Party wingnuts like Akin and the guy in Indiana to name a few. Romney has only closed the gap on Obama by sounding LESS wingnut on just about everything. Ironically, the TP wont see it that way. They'll think they lost because they were not far enough t the right. As a man once said: Stupid is as stupid does.

CHILDREN: Cailey Sophia (b. September 18, 1994), Cassidy Rose (b. April 18, 1999) and Joshua James (b. December 5, 2004)
One of daytime's hottest stars, Maurice Benard has endeared himself to audiences as GENERAL HOSPITAL's moody mobster Sonny Corinthos for the past 10 years. Born and raised in San Francisco as Mauricio Morales, Benard's mom hails from El Salvador and his father is from Nicaragua. He began his career in the spotlight as a model in his early 20s; after several years he set his sights on acting and landed his big break as ALL MY CHILDREN's Nico Kelly in 1987.

There, he landed the lead role in the TV movie LUCY & DESI: BEFORE THE LAUGHTER (1991), and roles in films like Ruby and Mi Vida Loca. In 1993, he joined GH as Sonny, a role in which he has truly made his mark. Benard says he draws on his own personal experience with manic depression in his intense performances.

Hi. I'm new to this forum -- actually, to any forum. So apologies in advance if I screw something up.
I'm searching for some help. I've gone 12 days without being on my bike, and am going through withdrawal. But my wrists are screwed up (carpal tunnel or tendonitis, that sort of thing).
So ... is there a grouping that would help me find others in like situation? I'm specifically wanting to buy some sort of elbow rest to alleviate the wrist action.

(From left) Star Publications (M) Bhd senior circulation executive Yap Wan Ying, events manager Victor Cheong and Star Media Group (marketing and government relations) group enterprise senior manager Linda Sharini handing over the SOBA submission pack to Looi, PUMM secretary-general Nelson Beh and PUMM Perak state liaison cum central committee chairman Lim Kee Siang.(From right) Looi, Beh and Lim listening to the briefing on SOBA.
A TEAM from The Star visited the Malaysia Entrepreneurs' Development Association (Persatuan Usahawan Maju Malaysia-PUMM) headquarters recently to promote The Star Business Awards (SOBA) 2014.
Representatives from The Star introduced the awards, which is in its fifth year now, and encouraged PUMM members to join.
PUMM was formed to create a platform for entrepreneurs, especially for SMIs and SMEs, to share knowledge, wisdom and to create new business opportunities through seminars, forums, workshops, business visits, and business study trips.
PUMM president Datuk Tony Looi said
winning was not everything. Business owners can benefit by just participating.
"Going through the application process, business owners are able to know what they are lacking such as CSR, technology or advertising and promotions.
"This provides good exposure and allows bankers and investors to know about your company and brand," he said.
Speaking to Chinese entrepreneurs, Looi discovered that many of them did not know about SOBA.
"Some do not read English newspapers. Even for someone like me who reads The Star, I only knew about it two years ago although the awards is in its fifth year.
"Language is a barrier. Some do not know how to fill in the application forms.
"I hope The Star can invite more Chinese entrepreneurs to join, there are many of them who have made it to the international market," he said.
Looi suggested that The Star utilise its Chinese medium (such as Red Tomato, SH Business Monthly and Chinese radio station 988) to promote SOBA.
He encouraged business owners to take part.
"I have heard that SOBA is a prestigious award, it is not easy to win.
"Aside from our national language, Bahasa Malaysia, English is a widely-used language in the country. Plus, The Star has the highest circulation.
"Winners can have a sense of achievement and this will spur their competitors to do better; this will result in a healthy, competitive market for industry players; which is good for business owners and the country's economy," he said.
PUMM Perak state liaison-cum-central committee chairman Lim Kee Siang
suggested that there be winners from each state in Malaysia.
"There are many successful entrepreneurs outside of the Klang Valley but they do not feel they stand a chance to win as those from the Klang Valley normally emerge winners," he said.
The Awards submission pack can be uploaded at www.soba.com.my. Deadline for entries is Sept 19.
The Star Business Awards 2014 is organised by The Star. Its sponsors are PKT Logistics Group Sdn Bhd, Citroen and Main Place@USJ21. The venue sponsor is Connexion@Nexus
SOBA is supported by Bursa Malaysia and audited by BDO Malaysia. Red Tomato is the official Chinese newspaper, SH Business Monthly is the official business magazine, and 988 and Red FM are the official radio stations.
For details, call The Star at 03-7967 1388 ext 1240 (Melissa)/1475 (Pei Wen) or log on to www.soba.com.my.

Cupid's Breadsticks Recipe
Our Test Kitchen home economists encourage you to play with your food and shape refrigerated breadsticks into hearts and arrows! A sprinkling of seasonings provides the finishing touch.
- 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1. Separate breadstick dough into six pieces. For each heart, unroll four pieces and twist if desired; seal perforations and pinch ends together. Shape into hearts on an ungreased baking sheet.
- 2. For arrows, unroll remaining two pieces and separate into four breadsticks. With scissors, cut one end of each breadstick into a point. About 2 in. from the point, cut out a triangle from both sides of breadsticks (discard removed pieces). At the other end of the breadstick, make diagonal cuts on each side, creating feathers. Place on baking sheet with hearts.
- 3. Combine butter and seasonings; brush over dough. Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 4 hearts and 4 arrows.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Unfortunately if someone wants to fight for the purpose of fighting (i.e. because he wants to drag it out, not pay you a dime, make things difficult for you), you have no choice but to go along with the litigation process. If he refuses to leave and you cannot stay, then you should consider leaving. If your child is a minor, you'd be entitled to child support. If you're worried about him paying the support once it is ordered, you could seek an income deduction order or garnishment so that his child support is paid right to you from his employer. If he leaves the country then while the U.S. Order would still be valid and enforceable, obviously if he isn't here to enforce it on, then you would have a problem.

Art league expands to Rehoboth AvenueAnnex to open Feb. 15 for classes, exhibits
This winter and spring, the Rehoboth Art League will be offering classes and featuring members' art works in the historic McQuay's Marketplace at 510 Rehoboth Ave. across from the Rehoboth Beach Museum and Visitors Center. The property owned by Cindy and Paul Lovett, which is for sale, has been made available to the art league.
"We were looking for a location outside of Henlopen Acres to offer additional art programming," says Executive Director Sheila Bravo. "We were thrilled when we learned we would be able to occupy historic McQuay's Marketplace." The art league is able to use the space temporarily and plans to hold classes, open studios and highlight the various artistic media of its artist members. It is one of several ways in which the league is offering art experiences outside of its main campus in Henlopen Acres. "This summer, we will also hold classes in Lewes at the Lewes library," said Bravo.
The Rehoboth Art League Annex on the Avenue will be open to the public beginning Saturday, Feb. 15. Its hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Thursday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Featured programs include open studios, art and coffee - short art films with discussion, and several fun evening classes.
The Rehoboth Art League is a membership-based nonprofit arts organization dedicated to teaching, preserving and inspiring the arts in the region. For more information on the art league, its classes, events and exhibitions, visit rehobothartleague.org or call 302-227-8408.
These programs are made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

UPDATE 9:47 PM – The Indians' Press Release on the trade, including detail on all four new players, has been appended to the bottom of this post.
UPDATE 9:19 PM – Things are starting to clear up, and the trade is indeed bigger than originally thought. Let's do this team by team.
And here are your supporting tweets:
Indians will end up with Trevor Bauer, Drew Stubbs and relievers Bryan Shaw and Matt Albers. Will part w/ Choo, Sipp, Lars Anderson.
— Zack Meisel (@ZackMeisel) December 12, 2012
#Indians get Drew Stubbs, Trevor Bauer, Bryan Shaw, Matt Albers; Choo and Donald go to Cinci and Sipp, Anderson and Gregorius go to Az.
— paul hoynes (@hoynsie) December 12, 2012
In the three-team deal, Tony Sipp and Lars Anderson are now with the #Dbacks. Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Donald going to the #Reds.
— Nick Camino (@CaminoTribe) December 12, 2012
UPDATE 9:09 PM – Buster Olney is confirming that the Indians will acquire Trevor Bauer.
The Indians are going to get Bauer in the deal with the Diamondbacks.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) December 12, 2012
UPDATE 9:06 PM – Multiple reports are confirming Drew Stubbs to the Indians, which comes as no surprise at this point in the game.
Much bigger news, though unconfirmed, comes from Tony Lastoria at Indians Prospect Insider:
No confirmation yet, but hearing the Indians may have landed Bauer.
— Tony Lastoria (@TonyIBI) December 12, 2012
9:01 PM – We'll keep updating this as the news comes out, but for right now it looks like the Indians have traded Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Donald to the Cincinnati Reds as part of what should become a three-team deal.
choo goes to #reds. done deal.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) December 12, 2012
#reds also get jason donald in choo deal. working on rest. theres a lot more.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) December 12, 2012
According to multiple reports, the Indians will receive OF Drew Stubbs and SS Didi Gregorius in the trade, though perhaps not for long.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly the third team in the deal, and they have shown interest in Gregorius. What sounds possible/plausible at this point is that the Indians will move Gregorius and perhaps more to Arizona in exchange for one of their young starting pitchers. Keep an eye especially on 23 year old Patrick Corbin, though it's still possible that Trevor Bauer or Tyler Skaggs could be included if the complexity of the deal continues to escalate.
RHP Trevor Bauer, OF Drew Stubbs, RHP Matt Albers &
RHP Bryan Shaw Joining Cleveland
CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Indians today announced the club has acquired four players in a three-team trade involving the Indians, Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Today, the Indians received RHP TREVOR BAUER, RHP MATT ALBERS and RHP BRYAN SHAW from the Diamondbacks and OF DREW STUBBS from the Reds in exchange for OF SHIN-SOO CHOO, INF JASON DONALD, LHP TONY SIPP, INF LARS ANDERSON and cash considerations. Choo, Donald and cash are being sent to Cincinnati while Sipp, Anderson and INF Didi Gregorius (from CIN) are now members of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Bauer, 21, was the third overall selection by Arizona in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of UCLA after winning the 2011 Golden Spikes Award and National Player of the Year [1,2]. Named the 9th overall prospect in Minor League Baseball [1] entering 2012, Trevor spent most of the 2012 season between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno where he went a combined 12-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 22 starts (130.1IP, 107H, 35ER, 61BB, 157K, 223AVG) and averaged 10.8 strikeouts per 9.0IP. He also became the first member of the 2011 draft to appear in the big leagues ahead of Indians RHP Cody Allen, making four starts for the Diamondbacks in July. In his brief Minor League career he owns an ERA of 3.00 in 156.0 innings of work (134H, 52ER, 73BB, 200K, .229AVG) while fanning 11.5 batters per 9.0IP.
Stubbs, 28, has appeared in parts of 4 Major League seasons with the Reds since 2009 after being selected in the first round (8th overall) of the 2006 draft, batting .241 (431-1791) with 59HR, 178RBI, 110SB, 285 runs (.312OBP/.386SLG) in 486 career games. The right-handed hitter has also posted a career .276 (127-460) avg./.821 OPS vs. left-handed pitching. Stubbs recorded at least 30 stolen bases for the 3rd consecutive season in 2012, becoming one of just 6 Major League players to do so over the span since 2010 (Bourn, Crisp, R. Davis, J. Reyes, B.J. Upton). With 40 steals in 2011, Stubbs became the first Reds player to reach that threshold since Deion Sanders swiped 56 bags in 1997. Defensively, the University of Texas product has appeared exclusively in center field in 481 career games (24 outfield assists).
Albers, 29, split the 2012 season between the Boston Red Sox and Arizona, going a combined 3-1 with a 2.39ERA in 63 relief appearances (60.1IP, 46H, 16ER, 22BB, 44K, .215AVG). Over Matt's final 11 outings with the D-Backs in September he posted an ERA of 1.80 (10.0IP, 9H, 2R/ER, 9K). On the year with Boston and Arizona he limited left-handed batters to a .207 (17-82) average against. The Houston, TX native was a 23rd round pick of the Astros in 2001 and debuted with his hometown team in 2006. He was traded to Baltimore prior to the 2008 season and after a successful stint in Boston in 2011-12 he was acquired by Arizona at the trading deadline for LHP Craig Breslow.
Shaw, 25, spent most of the 2012 season in the Arizona bullpen where he went 1-6 with 2 saves and a 3.49ERA in 64 relief appearances (59.1IP, 60H, 23ER, 4HR, 24BB, 41K, .273AVG). The Livermore, CA native also spent two weeks in Triple-A Reno in July and August, posting an ERA of 2.25 in 8 outings (8.0IP, 6H, 2R/ER, 10K, .207AVG). Shaw began his pro career in 2008 after the second round selection by Arizona out of Long Beach State (CA). He debuted with the D-Backs in June 2011 and owns a two-year career Major League record of 2-6 with a 3.18ERA in 97 relief outings (87.2IP, 90H, 31ER, 65K).
Following today's transactions the Indians 40-man roster remains at 40.
