Padres Sign Matt Carpenter
By Steve Adams | December 20, 2022 at 2:00pm CDT
2:00pm: The Padres have officially announced the signing.
12:52pm: The Padres added some punch to their lineup Tuesday, reportedly agreeing to a two-year, $12MM contract with veteran infielder/outfielder Matt Carpenter. Carpenter, a client of SSG Baseball, can opt out of the contract after the 2023 season by declining a 2024 player option. The contract pays Carpenter a $3MM signing bonus and $3.5MM salary for the 2023 campaign, and he'll have to decide on a $5.5MM player option next winter. He can also reportedly earn $500K bonuses for reaching each of 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances in both seasons of the contract.
Carpenter, who turned 37 years old last month, enjoyed one of the more remarkable rebound campaigns in recent memory this past season. A three-time All-Star with the Cardinals, Carpenter looked to be on the downswing when he posted a combined .176/.313/.291 batting line in 418 plate appearances with St. Louis from 2020-21.
Last offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic detailed the manner in which Carpenter reinvented himself, taking a data-driven approach to hitting and enlisting feedback from the likes of Joey Votto, Matt Holliday and a private hitting coach as he revamped his swing and his entire approach at the plate. The Rangers were intrigued enough to sign him to a minor league contract.
We often see stories of veterans making changes late in their careers, but few have found the level of success enjoyed by Carpenter. After hitting .275/.379/.613 in 21 games with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate, Carpenter was released by Texas (oops) and signed a Major League deal with the Yankees, for whom he posted a borderline comical .305/.412/.727 slash. Carpenter mashed 15 home runs in just 154 plate appearances, and while he was surely aided to an extent by the dimensions of Yankee Stadium, he still popped six of those round-trippers and batted .253/.333/.506 on the road.
Simply put — and in rather stunning fashion — Carpenter was baseball's best hitter on a rate basis in 2022 (min. 100 plate appearances). He led all of baseball in slugging percentage, isolated power (slugging minus batting average) and wRC+ (217), ranked second to only Aaron Judge in terms of on-base percentage, and posted the 12th-best batting average of any player in the game. Carpenter's rate of "barreled" balls (as defined by Statcast) was elite, and his average exit velocity and hard-hit rate both clocked in comfortably north of the league average. There's no realistic way to expect him to sustain that pace, but Carpenter has clearly put himself back on the map as a viable big league slugger.
Unfortunately for both team and player, the revitalized Carpenter fouled a ball into his foot in early August, resulting in a fracture that wiped out the remainder of his regular season. A predictably rusty Carpenter jumped directly back onto the Yankees' playoff roster but went just 1-for-12 with an alarming nine strikeouts between the ALDS and the ALCS.
With the Padres, Carpenter becomes the favorite for DH work, though the Yankees played him at both corner infield slots and in both corner outfield positions in 2022. He's also logged more than 1900 innings at second base in his career, though defensive metrics on his limited work there in 2021 were unsightly, to say the least. Still, he could potentially serve as an option there in an emergency.
The agreement with Carpenter pushes the Padres to more than $246MM in actual cash payroll for the 2023 season and bumps their luxury-tax ledger to nearly $267MM, as projected by Roster Resource. The Padres are already well into the second tier of penalization and, given that they're entering their third straight season over the luxury line, are being taxed at a 62% rate on every dollar in the second bracket ($253MM to $273MM). As such, Carpenter will cost them an additional $3.72MM in taxes for the 2023 campaign.
AJ Cassavell of MLB.com first reported the two sides had agreed to a deal with a 2024 player option. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the terms and financial details (Twitter links).

DJ LeMahieu Not On Yankees' AL Division Series Roster Due To Foot Injury
By Anthony Franco | October 11, 2022 at 3:48pm CDT
The Yankees were on a record wins pace early in the season. They hit a midseason lull and tailed off a bit down the stretch, but a strong month of September locked up the AL East title in convincing fashion. Their reward: a first-round bye as the AL's #2 seed and an ALDS matchup with the Guardians, the Central division champs who dispatched the Rays in two games in their Wild Card round.
Here's the roster the Yankees will roll out for this set:
Right-Handed Pitchers
Miguel Castro
Gerrit Cole (Game 1 starter)
Domingo German
Jonathan Loaisiga
Clarke Schmidt
Luis Severino (Game 3 starter)
Jameson Taillon
Left-Handed Pitchers
Nestor Cortes (Game2 starter)
Lucas Luetge
Wandy Peralta
Kyle Higashioka
Jose Trevino
Josh Donaldson
Marwin Gonzalez
Isiah Kiner-Falefa
Anthony Rizzo
Gleyber Torres
Harrison Bader
Oswaldo Cabrera
Aaron Hicks
Tim Locastro
Giancarlo Stanton
Injuries are much of the story for New York. Notably, infielder DJ LeMahieu is not on the roster, as he continues to battle a right foot injury. The veteran hitter was reinstated from the injured list on September 30 after missing three weeks with toe inflammation. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports (Twitter link) that LeMahieu has a fracture in his foot/toe area that inhibits his ability to swing. While the Yankees aren't ruling him out for the entirety of the postseason, he won't be an option for this series and could be sidelined even if New York advances.
In LeMahieu's place, the Yankees welcome back Matt Carpenter from the 60-day injured list. Carpenter has been out since the second week of August with a foot fracture of his own, his occurring after fouling a ball off his foot. While the 36-year-old hasn't played in a game since the injury, he has taken live batting practice in recent days. Manager Aaron Boone informed reporters this afternoon he's likely to deploy Carpenter as a left-handed bench bat but didn't entirely rule out the possibility he sees some defensive action (Twitter link via Yankees Videos). Signed to a major league deal after being granted his release from a minor league pact with Texas in May, Carpenter ranked at a .305/.412/.727 clip in 47 games before going down.
There's also a fair bit of intrigue in the bullpen. It was surprisingly revealed this morning that Scott Effross would require Tommy John surgery. He's of course not on the roster, while Aroldis Chapman has been left off after missing a team workout last week. Boone told reporters that Chapman has been throwing in Miami over the past few days but "for now, he's staying away" from the team (via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Clay Holmes is on the roster after not pitching since September 26 due to a shoulder issue.

Yankees ALDS Notes: Rotation, Peralta, Holmes, Carpenter
By Jacob Smith | October 9, 2022 at 10:50pm CDT
In the wake of the news that Aroldis Chapman will not be named to the Yankees' ALDS roster for skipping a mandatory team workout, notes about other Yankees have helped clarify how the Bronx Bombers will prepare to take on the Guardians:
Gerrit Cole will be getting the start in Game 1 of the ALDS in New York on Tuesday night, manager Aaron Boone announced. Cole will be followed by Nestor Cortes and Luis Severino in games 2 and 3, respectively. Boone stated that he considered different alignments for his starting rotation, but ultimately decided on Cole for the opener. Boone added that the Yankees are likely to opt for a three man rotation of Cole, Cortes, and Severino for the ALDS, considering the series's unique schedule, which features an off day between the first and second games. The extra off day will allow Cole to pitch Game 4 on full rest.
Clay Holmes is going to face hitters on Monday, in what he hopes will be a final tune up for the ALDS, reports Meredith Marakovits of YES (via Twitter). Holmes has battled a strain in his right shoulder since the end of September and was last used on September 26. Holmes said that his most recent bullpen felt "free and easy" and that his velocity was good. It remains to be seen whether or not Holmes will be used as a closer in the ALDS, given his second half struggles. Holmes accumulated a 4.84 ERA during the second half, a far cry from his dominant first half, during which he logged a 1.31 ERA.
Wandy Peralta will be ready and back in the Yankees bullpen for the ALDS, Marakovits reports (via Twitter). Peralta hit the 15-day IL retroactive to September 19 with thoracic spine tightness. Peralta, a left hander, has been one of New York's most effective relievers, posting a 2.72 ERA in 56 1/3 innings. Peralta projects to be particularly important if the Yankees are to quiet the bats of Guardians lefties, like Andres Giminez and Steven Kwan. He has held lefties to an OPS of .422 in 2022. With Chapman off the roster, Peralta and Lucas Luetge figure to be the Yankees only left-handed options out of the bullpen.
Matt Carpenter expects to be ready to play in the ALDS, reports Bryan Hoch of MLB.com (via Twitter). Carpenter has been hitting, running bases, and took some grounders at first base on Sunday. After a sensational 47-game summer stretch in which Carpenter slugged 15 home runs and hit .305, the veteran infielder suffered a broken left foot on a foul ball. If Carpenter plays as a designated hitter against the Guardians, it is possible that Giancarlo Stanton will spend some time in the outfield, where he has not played since July 21.

Yankees Select Chi Chi González, Designate Jacob Barnes
By Darragh McDonald | October 2, 2022 at 10:50am CDT
The Yankees announced a series of roster moves prior to today's game, selecting right-hander Chi Chi González to the active roster while designating fellow right-hander Jacob Barnes for assignment. Additionally, infielder/outfielder Matt Carpenter was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
González, 30, has bounced around quite a bit this year. He signed a minor league deal with the Twins in March and briefly cracked the big league roster. After getting designated for assignment, he was claimed by the Brewers and spent just under a month with them before getting designated again. He signed a minors deal with the Tigers but opted out of it without getting a call to the big leagues, then signed a minor league deal with the Yankees in late August. Through all of that, he's thrown 18 1/3 innings at the big league level with a 6.87 ERA. He's fared much better in the minors, throwing 80 1/3 innings with a 4.03 ERA, 20.8% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate.
As for Barnes, 32, he's had a fairly similar season to González, getting brief tenures on various rosters around the league. He signed a minor league deal with the Tigers in the winter, cracking the Opening Day roster but getting designated in June. He then signed a minors deal with the Mariners and joined their roster but was designated again without making an appearance. He went back to the Tigers but was released and signed with the Yanks at the same time as González. He was selected to New York's roster just yesterday and pitched 1 2/3 innings of mop-up duty while they were beating the Orioles 8-0. He's thrown 22 1/3 total MLB innings this year with a 5.64 ERA but, similar to González, has been more impressive on the farm. In 18 minor league innings this year, he has an ERA of 2.00, along with a 32.9% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate. Since he's out of options, the club had to designate him for assignment in order to get a fresh arm onto the roster.
As for Carpenter, this move is mostly a formality. He will be ineligible to return until 60 days from his initial IL placement, which was August 9, meaning he can return October 8. The Yanks already secured a bye through the first playoff round and will be playing in the ALDS beginning October 11. It was recently reported that the club plans to get him some at-bats with Double-A Somerset before returning to the big league club. Prior to fracturing his foot, he was having a comeback season for the ages, hitting 15 home runs in 47 games and slashing .305/.412/.727. The club will have the next week or so to decide if he's healthy enough to earn a spot on their postseason roster.

Yankees Activate DJ LeMahieu From Injured List
By Nick Deeds | September 30, 2022 at 5:45pm CDT
The Yankees announced they've activated infielder DJ LeMahieu from the 10-day injured list earlier today. In a corresponding move, outfielder Tim Locastro was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. LeMahieu spent most of September on the injured list with right second toe inflammation.
LeMahieu has posted a .262/.358/.381 slash line in 120 games this season, good for a wRC+ of 117. While a far cry from his peak during the 2019 and 2020 seasons, which saw him post a combined 8.2 fWAR in 195 games while placing in the top 4 of MVP voting in both years, LeMahieu's production in his age 33 campaign can be seen as something of a bounce-back after a 2021 season that saw his defensive metrics slip while his bat hovered around league average (100 wRC+). With other infield options such as Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa struggling at the plate this season, LeMahieu's bat returning to the lineup should provide the Yankees with a boost to their infield headed into the postseason.
As for Locastro, while his hitting has left much to be desired (he's slashed just .186/.239/.349 in 46 plate appearances with New York this season), he has served as a capable bench piece this season, effectively fielding all three outfield spots while swiping eight bags in just ten attempts. While Locastro will finish the regular season in Triple-A, he may be called upon by the Yankees for his baserunning skills during the postseason.
In other Yankees news, the team provided an update on injured utilityman Matt Carpenter. He took batting practice this afternoon and may take some live at-bats with Double-A Somerset in lieu of traveling with the big league club to Texas next week, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Carpenter has hit exceptionally for the Yankees this year, slashing .305/.412/.727 in 154 plate appearances, but has been on the injured list with a fractured foot since early August.

Injury Notes: Carpenter, Larnach, Brault
By Steve Adams | September 27, 2022 at 8:46am CDT
Matt Carpenter was putting together a comeback season for the ages with the Yankees, hitting .305/.412/.727 with 15 home runs in 154 plate appearances before suffering a broken bone when fouling a ball into his foot. The foot fracture didn't require surgery, but the timing of the injury placed Carpenter's season in jeopardy. Manager Aaron Boone said yesterday that the Yankees are now hopeful that the 36-year-old Carpenter will be able to return for the final series of the regular season (Twitter link via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). It's not a given, but it'd be a nice bonus for both the Yankees and Carpenter himself to get a look at his swing in a game setting before the postseason rolls around.
A couple more injury updates from around the game…
The Twins added another name to their ever-growing list of season-ending injuries, as outfielder Trevor Larnach will not return before the end of the 2022 season, per Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Larnach underwent core muscle surgery early in the summer and was all but finished with a rehab assignment last week, when he sustained a wrist injury during one of the final plate appearances of his rehab assignment. The 25-year-old tells Miller that he wasn't even able to hold a bat the day after incurring the injury. Larnach got out to a solid start in 2022, hitting .258/.331/.477 with five homers and 13 doubles through his first 145 plate appearances. He collected just four hits in 35 plate appearances before undergoing surgery, however, and now won't return to the field this year. Larnach and teammate Alex Kirilloff are both former first-rounders who've been touted among the game's 50 best prospects at multiple points in the past, but injuries have prevented them from establishing themselves as lineup fixtures at Target Field.
Left-hander Steven Brault's shoulder hasn't responded as hoped during his minor league rehab assignment, Cubs skipper David Ross said yesterday (via Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, on Twitter). He's headed back to Chicago to be further evaluated and won't return to the mound this season. The longtime Pirates lefty originally inked a Major League deal with the Cubs in the offseason but had it restructured as a minor league contract due to an injury setback. The 30-year-old Brault didn't pitch, even in the minors, until July 1 this season. He made his way to the big league roster two weeks later and tossed nine innings with a 3.00 ERA and an 8-to-5 K/BB ratio before a shoulder strain sent him back to the injured list in mid-August. Brault also missed significant time in 2019 due to a shoulder strain and missed much of the 2021 campaign due to a lat strain. Brault will be a free agent at season's end.

Injury Notes: Carpenter, Gonsolin, Kopech, Lowe
By Darragh McDonald | September 7, 2022 at 4:49pm CDT
The miraculous Matt Carpenter comeback was put on pause last month when the infielder/outfielder for the Yankees fractured his foot. On August 10, it was reported that he would need surgery and be reevaluated in a month, with the club hopeful he could return in 6-8 weeks. Here we are almost a month later and Carpenter has made progress but not much. Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports that Carpenter underwent some X-rays that showed healing but it isn't enough to get him out of his protective walking boot. He'll be reevaluated again in 10-14 days, says manager Aaron Boone.
That essentially eliminates any chance of Carpenter returning at the short end of that 6-8 time frame and even puts the longer end of it in doubt. By the time that next evaluation rolls around, it will already have been six weeks since the injury. Even if Carpenter gets good news at that point, he will surely need some kind of rehab assignment to get him back into game shape after such a long layoff. That could also be a challenge if the injury lingers, as most minor league teams will be winding down their seasons in the coming weeks. The Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are the Yankee affiliate that goes the latest, though their last scheduled game is September 28, three weeks from today.
Prior to the injury, Carpenter was on an absolute tear, hitting 15 home runs in 47 games and slashing .305/.412/.727 for a wRC+ of 218. It's all the more remarkable given that Carpenter was hitting at a below-average rate in the previous three seasons. The club has seemingly missed that hot bat, going 10-13 since August 10. They have a 4 1/2 game lead over the Rays and a six game cushion on the Blue Jays in the AL East race.
Some other tidbits from around the league…
Dodgers righty Tony Gonsolin was placed on the IL due to a forearm strain August 29, but since the move was retroactive to August 26, he's eligible to come off in a few days. Gonsolin has been playing catch in recent days, which is perhaps a sign that he's not far from returning. However, it's not all good news, with Juan Toribio of MLB.com relaying word from manager Dave Roberts that Gonsolin isn't progressing as quickly as they initially hoped for. The Dodgers are virtually guaranteed a bye through the first round of the playoffs and can take their time with Gonsolin, though it's at least noteworthy that the plan isn't on schedule so far. The righty had enjoyed a tremendous breakout season, throwing 128 1/3 innings with a 2.10 ERA, 23.7% strikeout rate, 7.2% walk rate and 43.2% groundball rate.
White Sox righty Michael Kopech landed on the IL August 23 due to a knee strain but was activated today after a minimum stint. After missing all of 2019 and 2020, Kopech threw 69 1/3 innings last year and has already jumped up to 110 2/3 here in 2022, coming into today's action. He's fared well overall on the season, registering a 3.58 ERA, though his 21.4% strikeout rate and 12% are both a bit worse than league average, with a .228 BABIP likely helping him keep that ERA down. The club will be looking for a strong finish from Kopech and the team overall, as they are currently three games back of the Guardians in the Central and 7 1/2 out of a Wild Card spot.
The Rays have reinstated infielder Brandon Lowe from the IL, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Lowe landed on the shelf due to a right triceps contusion but has now returned after a minimum stay. It was the second IL stint of the year for Lowe, who also missed about two months due to a back issue. Despite the multiple ailments, he's still hitting .234/.319/.405 on the season for a wRC+ of 114. That's a bit of a drop-off from his previous seasons but still 14% above league average. Tampa is in the thick of all the American League action, sitting 4 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the East while grappling with the Mariners and Blue Jays for the top Wild Card spot.

Yankees Notes: Dominguez, Severino, Carpenter
By Anthony Franco | August 12, 2022 at 10:37pm CDT
The Yankees were known to be interested in Luis Castillo before the trade deadline. Jon Heyman of the New York Post sheds some light on the team's discussions with the Reds, reporting that New York put outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez on the table. Heyman reiterates that New York refused to make top shortstop prospect Anthony Volpe available, however, and it's unclear whether they were amenable to giving up fellow infielder Oswald Peraza either.
Volpe and Peraza are the only two Yankees farmhands who appeared on Baseball America's most recent ranking of the league's top 100 prospects. Dominguez checks in fifth in the New York system, per BA. The highest-profile player in the 2019-20 international amateur class, the switch-hitting Dominguez has big power potential but is now seen by many evaluators as likely to eventually move to a corner outfield position. He's impressed offensively during his first full season at an affiliate, however, hitting .265/.373/.440 with nine homers and 19 stolen bases over 324 plate appearances in Low-A before being bumped up to High-A last month.
Details on the Yankees conversations with the Reds are ultimately an historical footnote, as Cincinnati wound up shipping Castillo to the Mariners for a package headlined by infielders Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo (each of whom appeared among BA's top 50 farmhands). The Yankees then pivoted to Oakland in their search for an impact starter, landing Frankie Montas for a prospect package headlined by Ken Waldichuk and JP Sears.
Some additional notes on the Yankees big league club:
Luis Severino has missed the past month after suffering a lat strain, but he's making progress in his rehab. The righty threw off flat ground of a distance of 120 feet this afternoon, as Bryan Hoch of MLB.com was among those to relay (Twitter link). He's scheduled for a bullpen session on Monday, his first mound work since landing on the injured list. Severino was transferred to the 60-day IL earlier this month (to his chagrin), but Hoch suggests the club anticipates he'll make multiple starts in September. That indicates he's on track to be reinstated around when first eligible during the second week of next month.
Infielder Matt Carpenter, meanwhile, went for a visit with a specialist after fracturing his left foot on a foul ball on Monday (relayed by Hoch and Marly Rivera of ESPN). He'll go a couple weeks without weight-bearing and be reevaluated at some point next month. Further testing confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of a 6-8 week recovery timetable for Carpenter's return to game action, giving him a chance to make it back for a postseason push. The 36-year-old mashed at a .305/.412/.727 clip through 47 games after signing with the Yankees in May, so it'd be a key boost if the club could welcome his left-handed bat back for the stretch run. Carpenter will be a free agent at year's end, so a late-season comeback and productive showing in October would also serve as a nice boost to his market.

Matt Carpenter Expected To Miss 6-8 Weeks With Foot Fracture
By Anthony Franco | August 10, 2022 at 6:09pm CDT
Aug. 10: Carpenter will not require surgery, tweets Marly Rivera of ESPN. He'll be reevaluated in a month, with the club hopeful he could be back to action in six-to-eight weeks. That gives Carpenter a shot of returning for the stretch run and/or postseason play.
Aug. 9: The Yankees placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list today, recalling Miguel Andujar to take his spot on the active roster.
Aug. 8: Yankees utilityman Matt Carpenter fractured his left foot during tonight's game against the Mariners, the club announced. He fouled a ball off his foot in the third inning and was immediately replaced by Tim Locastro.
The club will provide more specifics and a timetable for his recovery in the coming days. He'll certainly require an injured list stint, and whether his season is in jeopardy should be known shortly. Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies fractured his foot in mid-June and has yet to embark on a rehab assignment, with the club estimating his recovery in the two-to-three month range. Dodgers outfielder Chris Taylor suffered a less devastating fracture in early July and returned to action over the weekend, missing exactly one month of action. That's not to say either player offers a definite comparison point for Carpenter. His recovery timeline surely depends on the placement and severity of the fracture.
The injury interrupts what has been one of the more remarkable stories of the 2022 season. A three-time All-Star, Carpenter seemed to be nearing the end of his career after three years of well below-average play to close out his tenure with the Cardinals. The 36-year-old overhauled his swing path over the offseason but was still limited to minor league offers. He signed a non-roster pact with his hometown Rangers, and while he played well in Triple-A, he didn't have a path to playing time in Texas.
After being granted his release from his minor league deal with the Rangers, Carpenter received an immediate MLB opportunity with the Yankees. Brought on as a bench bat, he's played his way into an increasingly larger role with an unbelievable bounceback season. Carpenter has connected on 15 home runs in 154 plate appearances, posting an otherworldly .305/.412/.727 line. He's forced his way into the lineup, with manager Aaron Boone rotating him between designated hitter and all four corner positions.
New York is already without primary DH Giancarlo Stanton, who has been on the shelf for a couple weeks due to Achilles tendinitis. First baseman Anthony Rizzo has dealt with a nagging back issue in recent days, although he's not required a stint on the injured list to this point.

AL East Notes: Ryu, Sale, Red Sox, Carpenter
By Mark Polishuk | June 11, 2022 at 8:12pm CDT
It has been a little over a week since a forearm strain sent left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu to the 15-day injured list, and Ryu and the Blue Jays are still determining the next stage of rehab. Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith (Twitter link) writes that Ryu has met with noted specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and is also going to seek out other opinions.
As with any forearm injury, there was immediate speculation that Ryu would require Tommy John surgery, and it isn't yet known if such a major procedure is necessary. The fact that Ryu wasn't immediately slated for TJ surgery is perhaps a positive sign that his forearm strain doesn't involve any serious UCL damage, yet on the flip side, it is possible that a TJ procedure was the initial recommendation, and Ryu and the Jays are trying to find a second opinion that involves an alternative recovery treatment. It certainly seems like Ryu is in for a lengthy absence regardless, and if he does ultimately require Tommy John surgery, his tenure in Toronto could already be over. TJ rehab usually takes 12-15 months, and Ryu is only under contract through the end of the 2023 season.
More from the AL East…
Chris Sale threw a bullpen session on Friday and is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Monday. Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush told The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey and other reporters that Sale is roughly on the same pace as a pitcher just beginning Spring Training, so Sale would have roughly six weeks of work ahead before he is fully ramped up and ready to rejoin Boston's rotation. However, Sale could potentially return sooner if he was used as a relief pitcher, and Bush said that "everything is on the table at this point" in terms of Sale's potential role. "If it suits him and us for him to come back sooner and in fewer innings and we have a bullpen that's capable of absorbing the extra innings, then maybe that's an option," Bush said.
The Red Sox and Braves were among the teams who had interest in Matt Carpenter after the Rangers released the veteran infielder in May, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The Rangers didn't have a role for Carpenter at the big league level, but his big numbers at the Triple-A level surely caught the attention of multiple teams wondering if the former All-Star had gotten back on track. Much to Boston's particular chagrin, Carpenter ended up signing with the Yankees, and he has already delivered four homers and a 1.250 OPS over his first 25 plate appearances in the pinstripes.

Football is a cruel business, but it can be crueller to some than it is to others. Just ask Danny Ings. The Liverpool striker looks set to miss the rest of the 2016-17 as he requires surgery to correct cartilage damage on his right knee, just over a year after he suffered a devastating ACL injury to his other knee when Jurgen Klopp first arrived to the club.
The former Burnley frontman was already having to bide his time for first-team action this season after his seven-month layoff and had only made two appearances -- both as substitutes in the EFL Cup.
But in last month's tie with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, Ings was dealt yet another devastating blow. After receiving a standing ovation from the crowd when he came on in the second half, Ings injured himself while attempting to win the ball back in a tackle. A scan has now revealed he could be out of action for up to nine months.
Anfield had willed the 24-year-old to find the back of net that night, such is the high regard they hold him in. The staff at Liverpool feel the same and sources told ESPN FC in the summer that the Reds had rejected advances from eight Premier League clubs -- including one who indicated they were prepared to pay £20 million -- who enquired about the possibility of signing Ings.
Klopp was adamant that the one-cap England international was firmly part of his plans going forward, however Ings found himself on the fringes as he was proving his fitness. The success of Liverpool's forwards at the start of the season only made it harder to break into the XI as Klopp stuck with continuity in the final third.
As a result, Ings has regularly featured for Liverpool's Under-23 side this season, but not begrudgingly so. Indeed, he has flourished in Michael Beale's side and proved he is far too good for that level by scoring seven goals for the Reds' second string.
Dropping down also gave Ings the opportunity to prove his professionalism. Some players may have turned their nose up at the newly-formed Premier League 2 but Ings played as hard in those games as he would for any Premier League fixture. His workrate and application was of the highest standard, so much so that Beale told young American striker Brooks Lennon to replicate exactly what Ings had been doing for the U23s ahead of a recent fixture.
Danny Ings has suffered another cruel blow.
The staff at Liverpool's academy have been mightily impressed following their encounters with Ings, believing him to be an exemplary example for their youngsters to follow. He had made it impossible for Klopp not to take notice of his recent contributions.
"He takes the situation in the perfect way but that's all for him," Klopp said ahead of the Spurs game. "He had a long-term injury, he's not injured anymore, he's fit, he's good, he plays in the U23s -- that's all for his career and everything. How he is doing with this attitude, everything will be good at the end."
Sadly that looks no longer to be the case and, while it would have been difficult for Ings to have forced his way into Liverpool's starting XI this season -- given the current form of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, in addition to the fact strikers Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi currently occupy spots on the substitutes' bench -- there may have been the chance for the No. 28 to get game-time in the new year.
With Mane heading off to the African Nations Cup with Senegal in January and the ever-present threat of injuries, Liverpool would have loved to have had someone like Ings to call upon. But now he must focus on the long game: get fit again and, if European football is delivered to Anfield next season, Ings can boost the club when squad rotation start to take effect again.
If he can get back to his top level then he would arguably be one of the best fourth-choice strikers around, and more than good enough for group-stage encounters in European competition. But it will be tough not to feel hard done by right now. Another long road to recovery awaits and, as his manager put it: "He deserves better luck than this."


Reports from Syria say columns of tanks have moved towards the central city of Hama, which has been the scene of anti-government protests in recent weeks.
There have also been arrests in the nearby city of Homs, and in the coastal town of Baniyas, where a crackdown by troops is continuing, activists say.
Earlier, the UN said it was concerned it had been unable to get humanitarian aid to the embattled city of Deraa.
Deraa has been cut off for two weeks. Dozens are said to have been killed.
Meanwhile, the European Union has announced an embargo on exports to Syria of arms and equipment that could be used for internal repression.
The bloc also imposed a visa ban and asset freeze on 13 officials and associates of the Syrian regime identified as being "responsible for the violent repression against the civilian population".
"The aim of these measures is to achieve a change of policy by the Syrian leadership without further delay," said EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in a statement.
President Bashar al-Assad is not on the sanctions list, but it does include his brother Maher, who heads the Republican Guard and is believed to be overseeing the crackdown, and their influential cousin Rami Makhlouf, who is one of Syria's richest men and has been accused of bankrolling the regime.
An adviser to President Assad has said she believes the government has gained the upper hand over the protesters.
"I hope we are witnessing the end of the story," Bouthaina Shaaban told the New York Times. "I think now we've passed the most dangerous moment. I hope so, I think so."
The government says it is combating an armed insurrection by "armed terrorists" and has deployed troops and tanks to protect civilians.
On Monday, the army moved into the western Damascus suburb of Muadhamiya. A human rights activist told the BBC that at least three people were killed and many others wounded in clashes. About 200 were arrested, he added.
Security forces are continuing their efforts to crush dissent in Homs, Syria's third city. Hundreds were arrested as troops divided up the city to prevent any mass protests, activists said. Electricity and telephone lines were also cut.
Gun and tank-fire were heard but the number of casualties was unknown.
On Tuesday, a resident of central Homs told the BBC that there were no longer any armed security personnel on the streets, but that people were still being arrested.
Activists also said that more than 250 people had been arrested in Baniyas, including a 10-year-old boy. Water, electricity and telephone lines were cut, and tanks were deployed on roads leading to the town, they added.
Foreign journalists have not been allowed to enter Syria, so reports from the country are difficult to verify independently.
In central Damascus, a small group of about 100 youths sang protest songs on Monday evening in Arnous Square as shoppers bustled around them.
They called on the army to "stop the gunfire", end the sieges of flashpoint cities such as Deraa, and said national dialogue was the solution.
But plainclothes security men moved in and broke up the gathering, bundling the protesters roughly into vans and driven off, amateur video footage showed.
Later, unverified footage was published on the internet showing columns of tanks moving towards Hama, to the north.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says Hama was virtually wiped out in 1982, with tens of thousands killed after an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood.
There have been protests in the city in recent weeks and now there are fears that it may be subjected to the kind of crackdown already being felt in Homs, Baniyas and Deraa, our correspondent says.
Meanwhile, the UN said it was increasingly concerned about the situation in the southern city of Deraa, which has been cut off since troops and tanks were deployed there two weeks ago.

A humanitarian mission was to go there on Sunday following a request by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, but access was refused.
"We were expecting to go in with a mission to Deraa yesterday. That was postponed by the government," the UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, Valerie Amos, said.
She said no reason had been given, but added that she had been assured relief teams would be allowed to "go in later this week".
The UN Relief and Works Agency (Unwra), which looks after the 30,000 Palestinian refugees in the Deraa area, has also not been able to get emergency medical supplies through to them.
The agency said it was particularly concerned for 120 patients there who depend on it for supplies of insulin.
"It's a matter of life and death, and that is why we call for immediate humanitarian access and are working with the relevant Syrian authorities to send a team to the area," spokesman Chris Gunness told the BBC.
Officials said last week that troops were being pulled out of Deraa, where dozens of people have been reported killed and many hundreds arrested.
On Tuesday, an activist told the Associated Press that tanks had entered several nearby villages shortly after midnight. He heard heavy shooting, but it was not clear if there were any casualties.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 621 civilians and 120 security personnel have been killed since demonstrations pro-democracy protests began in March. Another Syrian rights group, Sawasiah, says more than 800 civilians have been killed.
Officials dispute the civilian toll and say about 100 soldiers have died.
The unrest poses the most serious challenge to President Assad since he succeeded his father, Hafez, in 2000.
A mobile phone snapshot, reportedly taken in Qamishli on 29 April, shows protesters carrying banners written in Arabic and Kurdish demanding democracy.
Razan, who is a resident of Damascus, tells the BBC about violence and protests around Syria.
This unverified video seems to show a peaceful protest in Talbisah. Moments into the footage, tanks fire on unarmed civilians. Wyre Davis reports.
Residents of Deraa walk past a burnt-out building. It follows shelling by troops in what human rights groups say was an intensified crackdown on protests in recent weeks.
Syrian army vehicles were photographed near Homs and broadcast on the Syrian opposition internet channel Sham SNN on 11 May.

Q: Insert if not exists assistance Hey all i am working on a database project for a class (im just learning sql)

What i am doing successfully
1: Reading an event XML feed from another website and placing it into the database (via php)
(internal id is controlled by me and needed externalinstance_id is pulled from the feed and i want it to insert if not exists)
http://i.imgur.com/rKrRBQ8g.png

what am i trying to do?
1: The events have their own eventinstance_id (i want to use this to insert only unique) , and i Have my own Internal ID, how do i "insert if external_id is not in the database" (ignore duplicated)

what i tried so far:
1: A select where not exists in phpmyadmin(trying to build the query) however when i perform the query i get this error on phpmyadmin
*different table same idea (my testing table)
http://i.imgur.com/unkURL5.png
(i want to insert iff there isnt a internal_id of 2 for example... (same project different table same idea of what i need to do) )

Server
Win 7 (i know)
Apache 2.4.18
PHP 7.0.6
PHP EXT mysqli
phpmyadmin 4.5.1
Thanks in advanced (may or may not be a stupid question)

A: Make eventinstance_id as Unique Id and use can use "INSERT IGNORE" QUERY.
It will insert only unique values.
Example :- INSERT IGNORE INTO table (pid,uid,data) VALUES (1,34,56);
Where pid is primary key and uid is unique key.
Below you can find more details on Insert Ignore
"INSERT IGNORE" vs "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE"

Oakland may soon study the possibility of creating an aggressive program to protect homeowners from foreclosure, inspired by Richmond's program that includes the possibility of seizing mortgages through eminent domain. In a special session on November 5, the city council decided that at its next meeting, November 19, it would consider two similar but competing resolutions, both of which would commend the City of Richmond for its pioneering program and launch an investigation into whether Oakland should adopt a similar strategy.
Authors of both the resolutions, Councilwomen Rebecca Kaplan and Desley Brooks, credited the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) for urging the city council to move forward on this issue.
Patrick Lynch, director of Housing and Community Development in Richmond, described the progress of that city's initiative, which specifically targets mortgages that have been packaged into securities and sold to investors. Richmond has sent letters to 32 companies that own such securities, which together own about 1,400 mortgages in the city. Richmond offered to buy these mortgages, all "underwater" — the homeowner owes more than the home is now worth. The city would then negotiate a new mortgage with the homeowner, including principal reduction.
If the mortgage holders refuse to sell, the plan is to seize the mortgages under eminent domain, but lenders are now battling this plan in court. In addition, Lynch said, proponents have not yet lined up a majority of "yes" votes on the Richmond City Council, which would allow the eminent domain part of the plan to go ahead.
ACCE activist Ralph Kanz emphasized that the goal of the program is not eminent domain but principal reduction. He and several other speakers at the meeting said current programs to restructure mortgages to keep people in their homes have failed to solve the problem.
Susan Harman of the Public Banking Institute described efforts to spread this approach to other cities: She and Lynch have met with officials in Vallejo and Berkeley; Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin has spoken with San Francisco supervisors; Lynch has met with activists in Sacramento; and there are plans to hold meetings soon with residents of Pittsburg, Merced, and Fresno.
Neither of the competing resolutions would commit Oakland to adopt the Richmond program. Both simply commend Richmond for its pioneering effort and mandate a study about whether a program generally along the same lines would be beneficial to Oakland.
main substantive difference between the resolutions is the process of the study. Kaplan's resolution would direct the City Attorney's Office to study the possibility of a program along the lines of Richmond's approach. Brooks' resolution first calls for an "outside expert" to study the issue at no cost to the city; in an interview she declined to name the outside expert. Her resolution calls for the idea to be evaluated by the City Attorney after the outside expert weighs in.
Brooks said in the meeting that she wanted an outside opinion first because she feared the City Attorney's Office would squelch the idea, citing legal risks. Her motion to vote immediately on her resolution failed, but a later successful motion scheduled discussion of both resolutions for the November 19 meeting.


is there any translation fot any language ?
It would be useful and beneficial for the whole masternode ecosystem.
Be carefule! Dev can block you if you asking questions about project. Got banned coz asked dev about their platform. All pics which they have on the site - only design. They do not have developers for start working on this platform! When i wrote (what i thinking) "So as i can see - right now this is another coin for coin with "maybe in future we will make platform if we will find developers for that"" Dev blocked me and deleted all my question! This project only for receive your money and Developer prefers delete your msg or ban you than answering on simple questions.
Why did you have to make a new coin for this purpose? It seems like a waste of tech and time.
Preparing a paid subscription for each level of services might be a better choice. If not, looks like a money grab imo.

Streep, who started out in theater before launching into film, has long stayed connected to the theater industry over the years, appearing in Shakespeare in the Park outings "Mother and Courage and her Children" (in 2006) and "The Seagull" (in 2001) and signing on as a presenting producer for the Broadway run of "Bridge and Tunnel" (in 2006). Last year she played Juliet opposite Kevin Kline's Romeo in the Public Theater's one-night-only reading of "Romeo and Juliet."

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer drops big hint of a Chris Smalling return following AS Roma loan
Date: 4th August 2020 at 4:55pm
Written by: Off The Pitch Media
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer drops big hint of Chris Smalling return following AS Roma loan, according to the Independent.
Smalling's career at United has certainly been up and down, since his arrival from Fulham a decade ago back in 2010.
Now at 30-years of age, the international defender seems to be at a crossroads in his career, despite a very productive loan spell at AS Roma.
The ex-England man performed very well in Serie A, which has prompted Solskjaer to recall the defender and speak positively about Smalling returning to the club.
Solskjaer has many defenders in his squad.
He said: "I think Chris has shown over his Man United career how valuable he is to Man United," Solskjaer said. "This season was about him being a regular and showing how good a centre-back he is.
"I wanted to give Harry, Vic and Axel a chance, so we found that was best for him, to go to Roma and play for a year.
"Now he's coming back and he's shown this season he'll be valuable. I've been speaking to Chris throughout and I've been delighted with his season."
Despite the positive words, most United fans will know that their squad is full of centre backs and there is probably room to sell one or two with the likes of Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling, Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof and Axel Tuanzebe.

Kanye West, Nas & CyHi The Prynce Are Working On Something In Miami
Nas, Kanye West and CyHi The Prynce are up to something.
Kanye West and Nas are no strangers. The pair previously collaborated a handful of times, including Hip Hop Is Dead cuts "Still Dreaming" and "Let There Be Light," Lost Tapes "Poppa Was A Player," as well as Late Registration's "We Major." The chemistry even led to a presidential co-sign; back in 2016, Barack Obama apparently made Kanye promise to contribute to Nas' upcoming (and still unreleased) album. Today, we're currently awaiting drops from both artists. While Nas tends to operate within his wheelhouse, Kanye has a proven track record of reinventing himself with every album.
It's hard to predict where Mr. West might be headed on his upcoming project, but some have speculated a return to the College Dropout is imminent; West was recently spotted working on something with Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Now, new photos have surfaced of Kanye West and Nas chilling in Miami. An educated guess points to a studio session, although it could be reasoned that the duo were simply playing catch up. Still, if you were Kanye, would you really want to break your vow to Obama? Does honor mean nothing?
It would appear that CyHi The Prynce was also privy to the meeting of minds. The No Dope On Sundays rapper shared this picture on Instagram, which finds him posted up with the legendary Queens rapper. Note that Nas is wearing the same outfit in both the CyHi and Ye pictures; perhaps The Prynce will find himself involved in this collaboration.

preventive action
WHY ME, WHY THIS, WHY NOW?
[This is the third in a series of four pieces arising from my recent, and in some ways still ongoing, experience with an obscure and distressing skin affliction apparently extremely rare in adults. They're not only about skin, though. Is anything ever really just about what it first appears to be?]
Until things go wrong, most of us fail to appreciate the ability of our bodies to protect us from the innumerable, frequently unseen enemies outside our skins that would invade and take us down if they could. That ability is lodged in our immune system, and when it's doing the job it was intended to do we never even know what we're escaping. Our bodies may provide an ideal environment for viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, but our immune systems prevent or limit their entry. Without going much further into how immunity works, which I am insufficiently knowledgeable to be able to do anyway, let's just observe that it is provided by a network of cells, tissues, and organs that collaborate to protect us from invasion and infection. We get some of this protection from our mothers at birth; we develop the rest of it from adaptation to the dangers with which we are threatened as we grow.
However, even in a healthy adult, the fully functioning immune system is not impervious to breakdown and failure to defend. Major stress can eventually compromise it or shut it down and render you vulnerable. So can an external "enemy" too powerful for the immune system to overcome on its own without external help. (Vaccinations are one kind of such "help.") At these times, each of us has a body that seems predisposed to go its separate way in response. Perhaps this predisposition is genetic, perhaps not. We just don't know.
Some people are most vulnerable internally. Those are the ones who develop digestive problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis. Others respond with a lung crisis, such as asthma. In still others, the immune system fails to operate properly by going crazy; in the course of trying to defend you it attacks you instead: those are the unfortunate sufferers of auto-immune diseases, such as lupus, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis. Looking back now at my own medical history, such as it has been — and up until now I've been very lucky, in that it has been relatively minimal — I must conclude that my own particular vulnerability has been skin.
It first manifested itself when I was very young, with a still immature and only partially developed immune system. I am told that by the age of one, I was breaking out in hives from what was then considered healthful exposure to the sun. I certainly remember the hives of subsequent summers, until I was about five or six, when the summer sun miraculously seemed to cease to stimulate their arrival. Those were the years of endless maternal daubing with pink calamine lotion, which dried white and flaked off, and didn't help the itch at all after the first wet cooling minutes. Also the years of, "Nina, don't scratch! It will make it worse." It did make it worse. Always. But how can you not scratch an itch? Even if your mother tells you not to.
Then came the mosquito bites. As an aside, I will permit myself to note that while I was doing all this research during my recent long and dreary convalescence, I discovered mosquitos only bite human beings. They're not interested in the blood of house pets, or elephants or any other kind of animal because there's something to be found only in human blood which is necessary to the mosquito reproductive process. In addition, some people seem to have more of this mysterious "something" in their blood than others. Count me in the appetizing group. If I'm sitting on the grass with six other people, they will escape unbitten while mosquitos feast on me.
However, that's neither here nor there with regard to my immune system. The point is that I appear to be extraordinarily hypersensitive to whatever hostile substance mosquitos release into the human bloodstream when they sip their mosquito Viagra (or whatever it is). The mast cells in my skin (the outer Maginot line of the immune system) rush to defend me by releasing what I consider inappropriately vast amounts of inflammatory chemicals, like histamine, to combat this antagonist substance at the point of entry and mediate my allergic reaction to it. My parents, the first persons I observed, and later many others — including both husbands and Bill — did not have this problem, and therefore did not need to scratch a bite. If a mosquito deigned, rarely, to sip their blood, it left a tiny red pinprick which faded without fuss or bother. No inflamed and unsightly red circles of histamines rushing to over-protect against the invader and its venom. No swelling. No irresistible need to scrape away at the spot until it was raw. No endless itch-scratch-itch cycle leaving scabs for sometimes as long as a month after the initial bite — or, more likely, many bites. Nothing like that for them. Only for me.
Well, now there's air-conditioning. That has pretty much taken care of the mosquito problem for me, even though I've lived most of my life in the hot damp stretches of the American mid-Atlantic seaboard. So I can move right along to the next skin-related immune system failure of my past.
The stress and unhappiness of my first marriage eventually produced — not colitis, to which the first husband succumbed (he was unhappy too) — but a boil, a bacterial infection of a hair follicle on my neck so large and virulent it had to be cut out at Roosevelt Hospital. (I didn't even know there were hair follicles on the neck!) Skin again. After the incision and removal, penicillin was prescribed. Allergic reaction? You bet. Rash here, rash there, rash just about everywhere. Those mast cells were really working overtime.
Actually, I'm not a particularly substance-allergic person. Besides the penicillin, which no one has ever dared again prescribe, my only other known allergy is to erythromycin. Two tablets by mouth when I was thirty-six, and rash again, almost instantaneously — all over me (plus, in this case, ominous swelling of the joints).
Okay, enough of that. I've been well enough for most of my life to have had almost no experience of other later-generation antibiotics and drugs, and therefore have no more drug-induced rashes to tell you about. Whatever was administered during a right hip replacement four years ago caused no problems whatsoever. And I've already told you in a previous post about the one-time mysterious appearance of an "eczema" or "atopic dermatitis" that arrived to plague me in my early sixties during a period of extraordinary economic, emotional and professional stress.
So I will mention just one more thing. In August 2008, when I was seventy-seven, under the blazing sun on a tiny Greek island in the Dodecanese, I came down with a severe case of shingles on the upper right quadrant of my face. [Shingles is the disease officially known as herpes zoster.] You don't get shingles unless at one time in your life you've had chicken pox. And yes, I had had chicken pox — the summer I was nineteen. [I thought I looked so awful I wouldn't let my entirely sympathetic boyfriend come see me. Fortunately, my vanity also kept the need to scratch in check. If you don't scratch, you don't get pock marks. It was the one time in my life I managed to keep my fingers away from a nearly intolerable itch.]
But you don't necessarily get shingles because of a chicken pox history. Chicken pox is caused by the varicella virus. Unfortunately, after it's been defeated, this virus doesn't die. Weakened, it retires to your spinal cord, or someplace like that, and lurks there harmlessly, perhaps for all of your life, kept down by your ever-vigilant immune system. But should extreme stress or very hot sun combine with a weakened immune system, the virus will arise to attack again from within, and this time it's savage.
It is relevant here that shingles tends to strike only the aged. There's a very expensive shingles vaccine which American insurance doesn't cover but which does appear to offer some protection some of the time; it's intended to boost the aging immune system against this particular virus. However, as I didn't even know shingles existed until I fell victim to it (and neither did the only doctor on the island, who failed to diagnose it properly), I certainly didn't know about the vaccine. But yes, we got off the island and back to America, and again I was lucky: it didn't go into my right eye and blind me, as it might have done, and eventually it went away.
And now we come to my recent bout of "general viral exanthem" at the age of eighty-two, pushing eighty-three — and to the three-pronged question with which I began: "Why me, why this, why now?" I've already provided a possible, and to me plausible, answer to part of this question: I succumbed to this particular virus because it attacks the skin and because my Achilles heel has been, throughout my life, my skin. The real thrust of the question, however, is why now?
One of the interesting things I learned about "general viral exanthem" is that it manifests itself almost exclusively in very young children. Rarely, if at all, in adults. There are pictures of a four-year old boy online whose face and skin looked exactly like mine (except that he, poor little thing, had it inside his mouth, too). Very young children have not-yet fully developed immune systems.
That observation seems to me related to why, as a person whose immune system functioned extraordinarily well throughout much of my adult life — almost too well in the zeal with which it released inflammatory histamines to annihilate invaders of my skin once its outer barrier had been breached — I succumbed to stress-induced eczema in my early sixties and shingles at seventy-seven. Research has shown, although it's evident anyway, even without the data produced by "research," that the aging process reduces immune response capability. The elderly succumb to more infections, more inflammatory diseases, more cancer. Just by way of example, the thymus — which produces T cells to fight off infection — begins to atrophy with age and produces fewer T cells. Glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant and detoxifying agent, is at its optimal level when you're 20. After that, natural production (in the liver) drops by roughly 10% per decade. By the time you're 60, you're producing only a bit over half the amount you had when you went to college. By my age, less than that. A compromised liver (like mine) will generate even less.
So a virus to which I might have been impervious at forty or fifty was able to lay me, and my skin, painfully and annoyingly low for three weeks. Yes, the mast cells still did a great histamine-and-itch production job in trying to burn out the invader, but I still wish the virus had been unable to gain a foothold in the first place, so they hadn't had to.
I concede, reluctantly, that aging is inevitable. Nonetheless, it seems to me that there are still things one can do to slow down its inroads on one's immune system so as to keep from feeling really crappy — in whatever special way "crap" manifests itself in you — for as long as possible. One is evidently to optimize the workings of the immune system in every way one can. The other is to reduce the number of adversaries in one's immediate environment with which the aging immune system has to contend on a day-to-day basis, thereby reducing the strain and burden on its overtaxed resources so that some reserve power remains for halting both minor and major health problems before they make themselves at home in your body. A very large subject, which I will touch on briefly next time.

Q: Dimension reduction (matrix) using eigenvalues and eigenvectors. PCA? I am stuck with one task where I need to reduce dimensions of the matrix 20000 by 10, compute eigenvectors and eigenvalues and determine how much the dimension can be reduced and transform the data.
I have calculated the covariance matrix (10 by 10) but stuck where to move next.
I'm working in Matlab but any advice is sincerely appreciated.

A: You do not need any dimension reduction algorithm at all. Because the number of the dimension is 10 and it is not that much. Indeed, you need some sampling algorithms base on the nature of the data (in general case a uniform sampling).
Anyhow, if you want to do that, you need to find eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, and then project all 20000 data into the eigenvectors space (using dot product along each eigenvector). Also, you can select top eigenvectors that cover more than 95% of information (for example, it depends on what you want). Also, data normalization could be part of the task before finding eigenvectors.

It's some sort of jewish revenge fantasy power trip, STRONK partisans killed accursed antisemites.

It is, despite the fact that, if I recall, Stalin was becoming paranoid of kikes himself
I don't recall the details, but I DO remember reading somewhere he had plans to purge some of them?

Stalin's antisemitism has been overstated in some corners.

>In April 1940 Major Buber was awarded the medal of Hero of the Soviet Union for valor demonstrated during the fighting at the Mannerheim Line.
>Leonid Buber died in 2005 in Moscow. In July 2011, during a public ceremony held at the Ammunition Hill (Givat hatahmoshet) Museum and National Memorial Complex in Jerusalem a memorial plaque was dedicated to Leonid Buber.

He was also made the honorary chairman of Israel's national veteran's association.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_Morel
>On March 15, 1945, Morel became commander of the infamous Zgoda camp in Świętochłowice.[3] The Zgoda camp was set up by the Soviet political police, or NKVD, after the Soviet Army entered southern Poland. In February 1945 the camp was handed over to the Communist Polish secret service, the notorious Urząd Bezpieczeństwa. Most prisoners in the camp were Silesians and German citizens, while a small number were from "central Poland", and about 38 foreigners.
Sometimes children were sent to the camp along with parents.[7] Prisoners were not accused of any crime, but were sent by decision of Security Authorities. Authorities tried to convince society that prisoners were only ethnic Germans and former Nazi war criminals and collaborators.[7] It is estimated that close to 2,000 inmates died in the camp where torture and abuse of prisoners were chronic and rampant.[5] The camp was closed in November 1945.[5]
>In 1998, Poland requested that Morel be extradited for trial, but Israel refused.[4] A reply sent to the Polish Justice Ministry from the Israeli government said that Israel would not extradite Mr. Morel as the statute of limitations had expired on war crimes.[4]
> statute of limitations had expired on war crimes.[4]
It's okay to kill a couple of thousands of goys. Counting pennies in labor camp? WE HAVE TO BRING HIM TO JUSTICE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

> In July 2005 this request was again formally refused by the Israeli government. The response rejected the more serious charges as being false, potentially part of an antisemitic conspiracy, and again rejected extradition on the grounds that the statute of limitations against Morel had run out, and that Morel was in poor health
Ashkenazis need to burn
I've always felt this shit was due to neurosis due to Ashkenazi genetic bottlenecking
Sigeberht
Not even fit to fertilize muh soil
cast them into the sea
jew blood in my soil
I have to say I lean on the exterminationist side when it comes to the JQ.
We tried deportations 209 times.
I doubt 210th's gonna do it.
At least with Ashkenazis, you basically can't have them in your country because they keep producing problems.
This time they have nukes too.
and Ashkenazis are like 90%+ of all Jews anyway
I will oppose them more and more aggressively until they stop. And if they can't stop, then so be it.
They'll never stop
It's wired behavior
non-Ashkenazis may not be a problem but the vast majority of kikes at bare minimum need to be isolated forcefully
It doesn't even matter of most of them aren't anti-white pieces of shit conciously, as I said they produce the problem
This goes for a lot of things too
Most blacks in South Africa aren't going around hacking white people to death, but the people who go around murdering Afrikaners on their farms are "produced" from the Bantu

Even the most dippy and useless Jew manifests the basic instincts.
Concentrated evil
and yeah whilst I said most for the concious ones, the generic normie kikes are going to at bare minimum with extremely few exceptions support policies that de-facto fuck over Europeans

Q: Multiple imputation for predictive analysis using mice package in R I am using the mice package to impute some missing values, and it works nicely.
I am facing a tricky strategic question though.
Basically, I am working on predictors of myocardial infarction (at time 3), with all patients having baseline features (e.g. age, gender - at time 1), despite a few missing values.
Some patients have performed also a stress test (at time 2), with specific continous details (eg stress duration), but others haven't. Notably, those without the stress test are not missing at random, as typically a stress test is not performed in those who are very sick, or have electrocardiographic abnormalities). Yet, it would be very important to be able to capture all stress test details, as it generates several prognostically informing variables (eg rate pressure procudct, stress duration, maximum heart rate, and so forth).
What should I do to capture the information associated with stress test features?
A complete case analysis will of course exclude all those without a stress test (roughly 50%).
Is it reasonable to impute with mice the stress features among also those who did not undergo any stress test?
Or should I best create a factor variable such as stress_status (0- no stress, 1-stress with low tolerance, 2-stress with high tolerance, and so forth)?

My son tells me my blogs are too long.
We live in a culture where to be read or even appreciated you have to keep it short and sweet, simple.
So this blog today is short, sweet and simple. This is for Matthew.
What do you want? The question is easily asked but not easily answered. What the previous paragraph is saying is that we are not so good at understanding exactly what it is we even want, much less going after it. Which makes everything even more complicated. And then, when we try to discern what our spouse wants, what our friends want, what our boss would like, life gets even more complicated.
Is it any wonder that introverts pull further into their shell?
Is it any wonder that extroverts run themselves ragged trying to figure this out?
But no simple answer or answers.
And there's the rub. If we don't know what we want, how can we ever go about meeting our own needs, much less anyone else's?
I said this was going to be short. I guess I spoke falsely about the "sweet" part. And neither is it simple.
But it's something to ponder on this first Wednesday of September, and I do hope you'll give it some thought.
