Chicago Cubs news
Nico Hoerner among 3 Cubs prospects in MLB Pipeline's new Top 100
The Cubs have a few prospects moving up the ladder.

Share All sharing options for: Nico Hoerner among 3 Cubs prospects in MLB Pipeline's new Top 100
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports
Nico Hoerner made a strong first impression when he was brought to the major leagues in an emergency situation last September. In 20 games he hit .282/.305/.436 with three home runs and played solid defense.
He's been in a bit of a slump lately (0-for-12) after a strong start to the 2020 season. And, since he's still under the number of plate appearances for rookie qualification, he's still prospect-eligible, and Thursday MLB Pipeline listed him as their No. 56 prospect in a newly-released Top 100 prospects list.
Two other Cubs also made MLB Pipeline's Top 100 — Brailyn Marquez (76) and Brennen Davis (86). That's a bit better showing than last year, when some prospect lists had no Cubs at all on them.
MLB Pipeline also released a Cubs Top 30 list Thursday. After Hoerner, Marquez and Davis, the rest of their top 10 are:
4) Miguel Amaya
5) Ed Howard
6) Cole Roederer
7) Adbert Alzolay
8) Kohl Franklin
9) Ryan Jensen
10) Chase Strumpf
Interesting to see Howard, this year's No. 1 draft pick, listed so high. I'm not certain whether that's his talent level, or the lack of talent in the organization, or a bit of both.
Given the 28-man rosters that will be in effect the rest of the year, Hoerner is likely the only one of the top Cubs prospects who will get playing time at all this year other than in intrasquad games at the Cubs' alternate training site in South Bend. And it's unclear at this writing what's going to happen to the affiliated minor leagues for 2021.
Related and also of interest: Jayson Stark of The Athletic wrote about rookie qualifications and how they might have to be pro-rated for this shortened season, and how that could potentially lead to a player being eligible to win Rookie of the Year twice. It's an interesting read and worth your time.
In the meantime, if Nico Hoerner picks up the pace in this shortened season, he might have a chance at the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year.

Philippines LCS Group to Invest More in Korea Tourism
The $1.7 billion property development project includes construction of resort centers and ocean complexes in Donghae city, about 260 km east of Seoul The Philippines LCS Group of Companies plans to expand investment in South Korea's tourism as the Northeast Asian country is expected to attract more travelers from the globe once the COVID-19 subsides, its chairman said.The group last week agreed to join a $1.7 billion resort development project in South Korea with an investment of up to $100 million. The Mangsang District 1 Development Project in East coast Free Economic Zone (EFEZ) includes construction of resort centers and ocean complexes in Donghae city, about 260 km east of Seoul.Louis Chavit Singson, LCS Group Chairman, told Market Insight, the capital news outlet of The Korea Economic Daily, that it will invest more in South Korea's tourism sector starting with the project."It is the 20th most visited country globally. Although everyone in the world has been affected by the Pandemic, it is never too early to prepare for its re-opening," Singson said in an interview at LCS Group Korea office in Seoul.Singson said the Korean wave - the popularity of the country's cultural economy exporting pop culture, entertainment, music, TV dramas and movies – will attract visitors from the world again. TO DEVELOP MANGSANG INTO HAWAII IN NORTHEAST ASIALCS Group aims to develop the Mangsang district into Hawaii in Northeast Asia, utilizing growth potential of the coastal area, Singson said."I see a lot of potentials in this economic zone. First of all, geographically and strategically it is located on the coastline with accessibility to neighbor countries Japan, Russia and North East China," the Filipino tycoon said. "Clean ocean, green forest, the best air quality in Korea and highly developed technology of Korea will bring the vision comes true which makes this economic zone to sustainable tourism complex."The group plans to build hotel and resort, as well as residential buildings in the district."We will develop hotels and resorts along the coast and have already begun talks with the big hotel brands to infuse value and prestige into the economic zone. Ultimately, along with fundamental of the EFEZ, we will bring sustainable growth to the tourism complex." LCS Group focuses on property developments in the Philippines. But the group also works on other sectors such as mining, transportation, defense, logistics and telecommunication towers. The value of its real estates across the Southeast Asian country including Manila mounts to about 2 trillion won ($1.7 billion), while its gold mines are estimated at around 2.5 trillion won, according to the group. COOPERATIONS WITH KOREAN COMPANIESThe group is cooperating with more South Korean companies. It invited Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Hyundai Engineering Co., Korea Investment & Securities Co., Hyundai Asset Management Co. and Meritz Financial Group to the Ortigas development project, for example. The project includes constructions of apartments, hotels and office buildings in Manila.It also signed a deal with Genesis BBQ Group for a chicken franchise business in the Philippines.Singson stressed the group will expand cooperation with South Korean companies for business in the Philippines. It is in talks with Bosung Powertec Co. and other firms in the Northeast Asian nation for electric and telecommunication business as well as new growth sectors at his home country."Because Korea is a world leader in high technology, we are in talks with several Korean companies for our Aerospace & Defense projects, as well as for our Digital banking projects," he said.Singson is serving as the mayor of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, and the president of league of munipalities of the Philippines.

After Notre Dame upset Army in 1924, Grantland Rice penned one of the most enduring football tropes in American sports journalism. He used a biblical image—the four horsemen of the apocalypse—to emphasize the terminating power of the Fighting Irish backfield. Wreaking metaphorical famine, pestilence, destruction, and death on their gridiron opponents, they then led their team to an undefeated season.
Acknowledging that references to apocalypticism suggest a cosmic cataclysm, complete destruction, and final judgment, Mount Shoop nonetheless identifies the core of apocalyptic not with the end of the world but with its power to disclose distortions, defeat evil, and introduce radical change. She also understands that sports can provide vitality, strengthen community, and inspire transformation. An apocalyptic analysis exposes the demonic tendency of big-time football to perpetuate systemic sexism, racism, and classism, and it helps to restore the potential of sports to provide redemption by revealing people's true identity. In light of the current domestic violence and child abuse cases involving National Football League players Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and Greg Hardy, her critique is all the more pertinent.
Mount Shoop is uniquely positioned to bring this creative reflection to bear on a sport she loves. A Presbyterian minister with a doctorate in theology, she also knows sports from the inside as a former celebrated college track athlete and as the wife of John Shoop, a prominent Big Ten coach who formerly served as the offensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears.
Empathizing with fans who believe that the world makes more sense in a stadium than it does anywhere else, Mount Shoop explores why they care so deeply about football. One factor is fans' creation of "fantasms"—the projected identities of players, coaches, and teams on the basis of their respective roles. Fans' vitriolic cries against a coach, for instance, ignore the true character of the person on the field. The screams are directed to a fantasm of the coach and simply express the fans' hopes and dreams about the game. Their shouts in frustration reveal the depth of their identification with the team itself.
Mount Shoop also prophetically decries the institutional distortions and abuses of big-time football, drawing on sociological data and personal experience to support her argument. The demographic and economic statistics are the most revealing. Although 65 percent of the players in the NFL are black, the economic benefit of their play overwhelmingly goes to a few nonplayers, particularly the team owners, all of whom are white. In fact, the financial disequilibrium is so severe that the majority of NFL alumni face bankruptcy within two years of retirement. In the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the disparity between the economic advantages and disadvantages of the privileged and the poor is equally striking. Although the NCAA's revenue in a recent academic year approached $1 billion, most of the players in Division I football and basketball, who generate the bulk of the funds, live below the poverty line.
To personalize these racial and economic issues, Mount Shoop focuses on the situations of accused student athletes at the University of North Carolina, where her husband had served as an assistant coach before he was fired—along with the entire coaching staff—during an NCAA investigation of 18 football players and one coach, all African American. They had been suspected of NCAA infractions related to academic regulations and rules about support of student athletes. In large part this book provides Mount Shoop with an opportunity to engage in a kind of liberation theology, constructing a narrative and conducting an analysis from the perspective of those who were under investigation.
At the heart of her complaint is the story of Devon Ramsay, a former NFL prospect and a student mired in deep poverty. Ramsay was accused of academic dishonesty for having followed the suggestion of a tutor to shift a couple of sentences in one of his essays. Without any evidence—the paper itself no longer existed at the time of the university's investigation—he was withheld from games because of the possibility of an infraction.
According to Mount Shoop, the university had repeatedly advised Ramsey not to secure legal counsel because doing so would imply guilt. During the investigation he had no recourse to a statement of his rights because no such statement exists in the NCAA's rulebook. He was eventually exonerated, but without the challenge of regular competition, he lost ground to other pro prospects, and his hopes for a football career were sacked.
During one interim between school terms, another player whose family was trapped in poverty had fainted because he hadn't eaten for days. He had been receiving his allotted per diem for food while the university's cafeteria was closed, but he had sent the money home to help his family pay the bills. If he had accepted a complimentary meal while receiving his food allowance, his eligibility would have been endangered.
Mount Shoop points out that many athletes cannot afford to purchase appropriate clothing for professional job interviews, yet they would violate NCAA regulations if they were given a business suit. By contrast, no stipulations exist against supplying a suit for a scholarship student in law or business.
Although these cases might seem to beg for a sociological analysis rather than a theological one, Mount Shoop focuses on the spiritual challenges of these situations by questioning how in such a distorted football culture Christians can fulfill the biblical imperative to feed the hungry and care for the poor without placing oppressed players in a more precarious situation.
Though she asserts that "there is more to cultivating just systems and thriving communities than good intentions and individual accountability," her suggestions for transforming the dystopia of big-time sports depend on individual action rather than systemic revision. Nonetheless, her astute critique in Touchdowns for Jesus reveals her deep faith and her palpable love of football and family.
Does God play favorites on the gridiron?


Capping off a tumultuous day for the Kings, forward Chuck Hayes dislocated his left shoulder during the team's victory over the Bucks.
He will be out indefinitely.
Welcome to the job, Keith Smart.
It was an ugly play. Hayes had his arm extended as he fouled the Bucks Drew Gooden, their arms got locked and the shoulder dislocated. He laid on the ground in pain for several minutes before going back to the locker room.
This is going to put a lot more pressure on J.J. Hickson, who has struggled and is shooting just 36.6 percent this season (going into the game).

Deprivation index, Canada, 2006
This Canadian deprivation index was created using data from the 2006 census by dissemination area.
There are four versions of the index for the Canadian territory. They cover either Canada as a whole, each region of Canada, certain geographic areas or metropolitan areas. The different tabs allow you to explore each of the versions. Each tab presents a brief description of the version of the index, a map illustrating the distribution of deprivation at the desired level, and multiple tables of statistical data that distribute the Canadian population by age group and by sex for both material and social deprivation.
Each tab also allows users to get information common to all the levels of analysis. First, an equivalence table allows users to link the dissemination area, certain geographic areas and the deprivation indices. A program for SAS assignment is also available so users can merge the material and social deprivation index into administrative files or into their analyses, as long as the files have a 6-digit postal code variable. A municipal code is preferred but not mandatory. A user guide comes with this program. Finally, a series of publications associated with the deprivation index is available.

Jason Haam is pleased to present Cheikh Ndiaye: Archives of the Sun, Cheikh Ndiaye's first solo exhibition with the gallery. Featuring new and recent works by the artist, the exhibition provides an insight into the everyday scenes of post-independent West Africa.
Born in Dakar, Senegal, 10 years after its independence from France, Cheikh Ndiaye experienced the aftermath of socio-political unrest and rapid modernisation first-hand. The structural adjustments imposed on Senegal by the International Monetary Fund from the late 1980s led to an expansion of African cities and to a radical growth of informal economies, which constitute one of the main motives of Ndiaye's paintings. Portraying day-to-day scenes, old movie theatres built during the post-independence era, and street vendors' kiosks in West African metropolises, the artist provides a visual interpretation of the connection between formal and informal architecture and of the occupation of space and people's daily habits.
The title of the exhibition refers to a Senegalese daily "Le Soleil" (The Sun). Ndiaye— seeing architecture as an archive of social practices—often exploits archival materials depicting social movements in Senegal in his works. At first glance, the modernist movie theatres, which appear in many of his paintings, might seem derelict; yet, a closer examination reveals that they are indeed full of life. While these movie theatres no longer serve the purpose of film projections, they continue to fulfil a vital role within African urban society. Ndiaye's paintings evoke two distinct temporalities: the post-independence enthusiasm of the 1960s and 1970s during which those movie theatres were built and their present transformation. Such temporal shifts serve as a subtle way to question the modern history of West Africa.
The artist's methodology is grounded in a precise observation and reflection on the relationship between architecture, figures, and urban space; he bears witness to people's capacity to inhabit public space. In his new body of work, the artist emphasises the importance of figures within the composition of the painting; this transition from architecture to figures is gradual but evident. In some artworks, buildings start to function as a backdrop rather than as the main subject—the paintings provide an immersive, almost cinematographic experience of architecture. The sky, painted in a single shade of blue characteristic of Ndiaye's older works, is barely apparent; instead, the canvas captures an intimate view of the subtleties of emotion, embodying a narrative of the lives of people within. In addition to serving as a document of current affairs and of scenes which Ndiaye has personally seen and experienced in his life, his approach pays particular attention to the materiality of the painting: elaborate surfaces of derelict walls or dust-covered folds of tarp are, for him, a way to question the nature and the history of the medium of painting itself. Minute details, expressive use of bright and vibrant colours, and the quality of texture enhance the animated and lively scenes of Ndiaye's paintings.


Why go through surgery, physical therapy and other forms of treatment when you could solve your problem by getting a hydrotherapy bathtub. These types of tubs are recommended for the elderly, arthritic patients and people with other disabilities. Hydrotherapy tubs have jets and whirlpool options to massage and heal the body. Hydrotherapy helps with inflammation, reducing blood pressure, arthritis, muscle pain and more. Walk in tubs tend to be deeper than a typical tub mainly because the user sits down and soaks. Benefits of doing so can be improved mobility, ease body pressure and furthermore, hydrotherapy can ease depression, stress and anxiety. If you are unsure about purchasing a hydrotherapy walk in tub be sure to seek medical advice and talk with a tub expert to learn more about them today.

I'm used to either wanting to play a game or not wanting to play a game. But WoW Classic… WoW Classic is different. Maybe I'm just falling victim to nostalgia. Maybe I'm conflating the people I played with in 2004-2006 with the game I played in 2004-2006. Nostalgia is a hugely powerful motivator, after all, and even us jaded reporters are susceptible to it. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about stepping back into a game that was genuinely slower, jankier, and less well-balanced than the WoW that exists today. I do know I'm looking forward to it more than any other launch I expect this year. Some friends of mine have already started planning for a return. I'm going to join them. It's annoying to find myself pulled back to a game version I genuinely don't think is as good, in many ways, as what exists today — and yet, here I am.
To fill our pool of beta and stress test participants, we'll be choosing dedicated players who meet select criteria from both the WoW Classic beta opt-in and the standard Warcraft beta opt-in. Participants will also need to have an active subscription or active game time on their Battle.net Account. While opting-in to the beta is the primary way to make sure you're in the running to join the test it doesn't guarantee an invitation to the closed beta test. We may also consider additional factors such as how long a player has been subscribed to the game so that we have the right mix of players to ensure great feedback toward making WoW Classic the very best experience for the community.
Dustin Bailey recently interviewed senior producer Calia Schie and game director Ion Hazzikostas for PCGamesN about recreating this kind of environment, and it includes some equally wonderful lines, like Hazzikostas saying "It was surreal almost to see our art director [Chris Robinson], who is one of the best artists I've ever met, and someone who pushes for perfection and refinement in everything that we do, advocating for actively working to make things look worse."
Escort quests can take awhile to do. I have thoroughly tested all the escort quests in the game for time/xp. Most are worth doing, but as long as you are able to actually do them without failing. Most require you to pay special attention to the escortee as most are fragile and will die easily, so do your best to keep mobs off of the escortee during escort quests. The longest one in the game is the Tanaris chicken escort. The chicken escorts are only worth doing if you were able to do all 3 of them, as if you do, you will be able to turn in an additional easy quick XP turn in quest at BB, which makes them worth it.
Then, there are the…well, these are bugs, actually. Blizzard's going to go ahead and call them "inconsistencies," though. NPCs who want to give you more than one quest could show up as either a dot or an exclamation mark on your quest list, and that was "inconsistent in [patch] 1.12, and we've reproduced the exact inconsistency they had back then." I love the idea of deliberately reproducing an issue for the sake of authenticity.
An advice for those who are trying to compete monopolizers: you cannot beat them by selling for less if they follow right steps. You should do opposite: sell for more. Because market will come down if the price goes unreasonably high. You can set a bid on item for the price it should cost and buy out price for higher than a monopolizer is selling. So, common buyer may get an item for the right price or monopolizer has to buy the item at his loss.
I received a beta invite for Classic, and had also been an alpha and beta tester for the original game 15 years ago. That isn't unique; plenty of people in Northshire Valley had had the same experience, suggesting to me that active players who were Day 1 WoW gamers or had participated in the original tests might have gotten priority invitations to this one.
But how do you proportionally resize the swing? Even if you did, it wouldn't give you the same type of joy as when you were a kid, because you have grown up and changed. Even if that wasn't the case for you, you have to consider that the swing has become a place that is sacred for many other adults. When they visit, they aren't visiting to try out the new adult-swing. They want to try the old swing. The one that brings back the joyful memories of distant past. They know that the experience isn't the same, but if they close their eyes ... even for a brief moment ... they just might get that nostalgic thrill that brings them back to a time where things seemed so much simpler.
And once you had been performing so 10-12 hours a day for weeks on end the thought of that time you'd already sunk into it made it rather difficult to stop. Combine this with the fact that missing a single day could put you back a full week of progress and you've got some pretty bad mojo going on.It may be argued that the Vanilla PvP honor rating system attested a lot of the negative perceptions about the MMO scene and video game addiction generally at the time. IMO it would be an error to reinstate it.
It's time to do this again! I am bringing this back for nostalgic value along with a way for you guys to support me! Now keep in mind I am sending the very first original version of my leveling guide for Horde (I did not make an Alliance guide back then). This is not really meant to be used to level through WoW, even though you could use it for that purpose. My website JoanasWorld.com contains the latest up-to-date version of my leveling guides which have changed a lot over the years.

Moscow's Chinese Pearls
Ten places to immerse yourself in Chinese culture
By Emily Couch
The Perlov Tea House / Moskva News Agency
February 5 marks the beginning of the Year of the Pig – the last Zodiac sign in the Chinese lunar calendar's twelve-year cycle. China may be more than five thousand kilometers away from Russia's capital, but you can still immerse yourself in Chinese culture and celebrate.
Not managed to live up to your New Year's resolution? Chinese New Year gives you a third chance to succeed. To help you towards your goal, Moscow's Chinese Cultural Center offers classes in Chinese cooking, calligraphy, and language. If you want to find out more about pricing and timetables, visit their site. The website and classes are in Russian.
1/1 Ulitsa Pravdy. Metro Dinamo
Feel lucky at Shans Boku
The name of the bookstore Shans Boku is a combination of Russian and Mandarin, and both words mean 'luck.' About 80 percent of the books are in Mandarin, and the rest are Russian translations of Chinese works. If neither language is your forte, Shans Boku also offers a range of Chinese-themed gifts from calligraphy-decorated notebooks to delicate fans.
29/1 Elektrozavodskaya Ulitsa. Metro Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad

Gaze up at the Peking Hotel
Completed in 1955, the hotel was named to honor the friendship between the People's Republic of China and the U.S.S.R. Its luxurious interior décor is Chinese-inspired, featuring swathes of silk and scenes from the life of the Chinese nobility.
5 Bolshaya Sadovaya Ulitsa. Metro Mayakovskaya
Taste northern Chinese cuisine
Run by Harbin native Chef Wang and an all-Chinese team, Harbin (or 'Kharbin' as it is pronounced in Russian) is an authentic Chinese restaurant serving primarily northern cuisine. Frequented by as many – if not more – Chinese than Russians, Harbin should be on your list for a culinary celebration of the Year of the Pig.
56 Bolshaya Yakimanka Ulitsa. Metro Oktyabrskaya
Try Russian-made Chinese cuisine
Chinese News (Kitayskiye Novosti) is a relatively new, hip, restaurant chain run by life-long China enthusiast Stanislav Lisichenko. Throughout February, he's rolling out a Chinese New Year menu featuring dishes such as sweet and sour carp and Sichuan beef. There will also be special fortune cookies containing wishes for the new year.
See site for addresses and information about celebrations.

Step back in communist history
Tucked away behind the Pushkin Museum is the Volkhonka Mansion. This unassuming pale yellow building once housed the assembly hall of the Sun Yat-sen Communist University of the Toilers of China. In May 1927, Stalin himself appeared there to speak to an audience of young Kuomintang and Chinese Communist Party members. Unfortunately, the building is now a private events space so the public cannot enter – but the outside is worth a look for any Chinese or Russian history buff.
23/1 Bolshoi Znamensky Pereulok. Metro Kropotkinskaya
Shop at the Perlov Tea House
The shop's fantastical Chinese-inspired exterior dates back to 1896 when Russian tea merchant Sergei Perlov transformed his tea-house in an attempt to woo a visiting Chinese merchant to negotiate tea delivery contract. Today, the shop sells tea and coffee from all over the world. Not quite 'authentic,' but still worth a visit.
19 Myasnitskaya Ulitsa. Metro Chistiye Prudy
Admire art from the 'other' China
To coincide with Chinese New Year, the State Museum of Oriental Art is holding an exhibition entitled 'The Eastern Calendar' in which they will exhibit colorful graphic works by contemporary Taiwanese artists featuring the twelve zodiac animals. Further information on the exhibition in Russian can be found here.
12A Nikitsky Blvd. Metro Arbatskaya
Glimpse pieces of imperial China
Despite the name, the Russian National Museum of Music houses an extensive collection of Chinese instruments, such as the sheng – a mouth-blown pipe organ – dating from the first millennium BC. As the Lunar New Year approaches, it's the ideal time to bone up on your Chinese musical history.

Garage in Gidea Park can't be converted into house after 118 residents oppose idea
Ian Weinfass
Cllr Lynden Thorpe spoke against the Gidea Park house plan - Credit: Archant
A garage can't be turned into a house, after it was narrowly refused planning permission.
Havering Council's regulatory services committee heard on Thursday of last week that 118 Gidea Park residents had signed a petition against the plans.
The new home was planned in an area behind the A127 Southend Arterial Road, roughly opposite the Renault Garage.
Resident Judith Holt, told the committee: "There's no room for visitor parking, most of the parking places are private to residents of Ferguson Court."
She said that there had been traffic problems and "several near misses" of children from cars in the area already.
A spokesman for the applicant said that cars drive into the garage at the moment so there would not be an increase in traffic issues.
Squirrels Heath ward councillor Lynden Thorpe also spoke against the plan, outlining a number of concerns including that emergency services wouldn't be able to access the area in the event of a fire.
Cllr Barry Tebbutt (Conservative, Brooklands) pointed out that the committee had previously approved similar applications based as long as adequate sprinkler systems were installed.
Meanwhile, Cllr Steven Kelly (Conservative, Emerson Park), sitting as a substitute member on the committee, said that he thought the plan met all the necessary requirements.
The committee rejected the proposal by six votes to five, on the basis that the site was an overbearing development and there was limited access for the emergency services.

LOS ANGELES — California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are looking for an offender who walked away from a Los Angeles re-entry facility on Monday, Aug. 15.
Jeffrey Scott Pine, 47, was transferred from California Institution for Men to the Male Community Re-entry Program (MCRP) in Los Angeles County on July 5. After being notified at approximately 1:37 p.m. Aug. 15 that Pine's GPS device had been tampered with, staff initiated an emergency search. Pine's GPS device was found down the street from the facility.
Notification was immediately made to local law enforcement agencies. Within minutes, agents from CDCR's Office of Correctional Safety were dispatched to locate and apprehend Pine.
Pine is a white male, bald, with green eyes. He is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds.
Pine was admitted from Los Angeles County on June 8, 2015, to serve a three-year sentence for false impersonation. He was scheduled to be released to probation in October 2016.
The MCRP allows eligible offenders committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for men who have approximately 180 days left to serve. The program links offenders to a range of community-based rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.
Anyone who sees Pine or has any knowledge of his whereabouts should immediately contact law enforcement or call 911.
