Approval processes for new houses and duplexes in residential zones have been streamlined under the new Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009. New regulations allow councils to manage approvals of houses and duplexes so that they will no longer need separate planning approval from council in certain circumstances.

Since the introduction of this simplified approval process, some councils have expressed their concerns regarding the impact of the regulation, particularly for the assessment of duplex style housing. To address these concerns, changes have been made through the Building and Other Legislation Amendment Regulation (No.1) 2010 to allow local governments to opt in to the simplified process for duplexes from 26 March 2010.

This means that where houses and duplexes proposed in a residential area do not need complex planning consideration, only a building application will be required. Councils may also include requirements for duplexes in their planning schemes which are self-assessable.

Councils can still manage their streetscapes through the Queensland Development Code for new houses and duplexes or they can set alternative standards for setbacks, height and other amenity issues through their planning schemes. Councils can now use the Queensland Development Code and adopt an amenity and aesthetics resolution to set appropriate standards for these local issues. A new part of the Queensland Development Code has been created to specifically cater for duplexes. Councils will be able to provide their important planning input through a faster and inexpensive referral process where required.

The new process for houses and, where councils opt in to the process, for duplexes is designed to help councils remove red tape for less complex applications like duplexes. It will allow applications to be assessed more quickly and reduce development costs. Building applications may be processed up to ten times faster than planning applications and expensive planning application fees, which can cost between $1200 and $6500, will be removed. These changes will allow development to proceed quickly to support growth, particularly in South East Queensland.

Facts and fiction

Fiction 1: This will lead to out-of-control development and result in loss of character.

Fact 1: The new process will not remove council development controls.

Under the new system, only a building application made to a private building certifier or a building certifier employed by the local government is required.

The process does not remove council requirements for houses and duplexes, including character and amenity considerations. For example, these may be made self-assessable in a planning scheme.

By law, councils retain control of development in their area through a range of planning controls and policies. For duplex developments, the council can now use the Queensland Development Code and adopt an amenity and aesthetics policy by resolution. This means that all building applications in areas with a council amenity or aesthetics resolution must be referred to the relevant council during the building approval process.

The Queensland Development Code permits the use of alternative planning provisions for all or some of the performance criteria within the part and if the development does not comply with the acceptable solution (or planning scheme equivalent) it must be referred to local government as a concurrence agency referral.

Councils can also direct a building certifier to refuse applications that are not in keeping with the council's planning requirements. Alternative solutions can be proposed by the building certifier or applicant and then referred to council. Council can choose to apply conditions or direct that the application be refused.

Fiction 2: The new process will lead to double the number of houses, driveways, cars, people, and half the trees.

Fact 2: Councils can still set dwelling density and lot sizes under this policy. The new process does not alter councils' powers to do this.

The new laws remove duplication in the approval process for a residential duplex. Councils will have the ability to allow low-risk development to take place more quickly. Bringing homes to the market faster will help make them more affordable. The new approval process only applies to houses or to duplexes where council has chosen to opt-in to the process in residential areas. Other planning zones are not affected.

A building application is still required for houses and duplexes. Council and private building certifiers will still be involved in the assessment of applications for duplexes and local planning controls will still apply.

Fiction 3: The government is ignoring community views.

Fact 3: The government is delivering on promises to the community about improving housing affordability.

The community and key industry stakeholders wanted simpler processes for low-risk development, but only where the proper checks and balances had occurred.

Industry and local governments, including Brisbane City Council, were consulted through the planning reform panel. This committee expressed strong support for simplifying the approval process for less complex housing applications.

The government has listened to community feedback about improving housing affordability. The community retains its role in developing planning schemes through consultative processes and councils can administer streetscapes through amenity and aesthetics resolutions where the community expresses legitimate concerns.

Council officers who provide advice to building certifiers will still be able to speak to local residents for any application. For information about appealing development applications or decisions, please contact the Building and Development Dispute Resolution Committees - a much cheaper and faster option than the Planning and Environment Court. Appeals to the committees are usually decided within five weeks and cost between $220 and $1973.

If You Eat Well, Are Nutritional Supplements Necessary?

By Beverly Nadler, CHT, CMT   © 2007

There is probably no subject that has more information, misinformation, opinions, beliefs and myths about it than nutrition. There are millions of research documents, many of which conflict with each other, and new "diets" and eating plans (some of which are ridiculous) are promoted every few months in best seller books.

Confused About Nutrition and Diets?

With constantly changing and often contradictory nutritional data and reports, you can't help but be confused. Nutrition has been made so complex, complicated and contradictory - it's no wonder that most people don't know what to do...and so they do nothing. Other people take every "miracle supplement" that comes out (or at least as much as their pocketbook can bear.)

As for diets (I am using "diet" for any food plan, not necessarily weight loss) - there is no agreement among so-called "experts" as to what makes a "good" diet. We have the frequently-changing pyramid diet recommended by the U.S. government, the high protein diet, low protein diet, vegetarian diet, vegan diet, low carbohydrate diet, high complex carbohydrate diet, the low fat diet, the fruitarian diet, natural hygienic diet, blood type diet - to name the most common ones.

Every diet has its adherents (those who love and swear by it), and every diet has people who hate it and proclaim it's unhealthy. Aside from the diets that are supposed to be everyday food plans, there are many different weight loss diets and plans, such as Atkins, Carbohydrate Addicts and Cave Man Diet, plus Weight Watchers and those sold at the various weight loss centers. And, of course, new weight loss fads come out with regularity and then fade away. (Peanut butter diet? Ice cream diet?)

Is It Really Possible to "Eat Well" Today?

Poor farming practices have depleted our topsoil of nutrients for generations. This means that fruits, vegetables and grains have less nutrients now than they had 20-30-40-60 years ago. Here's what's happened to spinach since 1963: 45% LESS vitamin C; 17% LESS vitamin A, 6.45% LESS calcium, 10.22% LESS magnesium. Here are other examples: 50% less calcium in broccoli, 40% less vitamin C in cauliflower, 88% less iron in watercress - all since 1975! And scientists have even analyzed carrots with NO vitamin A! (When I "googled" soil depletion, 1,275,000 references came up!)

Not only does produce lack nutrients (one reason for world-wide mineral deficiencies), it contains more pesticide and herbicide residues than ever, because each "spraying" adds to the residues already in the soil. That's why residues are even found in organic produce that is not sprayed.

Processing foods removes many essential nutrients. Over a dozen natural nutrients are taken out of flour and FIVE synthetic ones added -- and this is called "enriched"! Fresh food loses nutrients during storage and transportation across the country -- a good reason to grow your own organically or purchase from local farms. We've been eating processed foods with hydrogenated oil and preservatives for years; now we also eat genetically modified foods of dubious safety.

Animals are fed hormones and antibiotics, so when we eat meat, including chicken, we're also ingesting hormones and antibiotics, unless it's organic. Fish swim in polluted waters and we get a dose of toxins, especially mercury from tuna, (highest is in white albacore tuna) and other large and older fish. Salmon, praised for its high Omega 3 content, has less of this precious oil when farm-raised. Plus, the salmon are fed antibiotics and contain more PCBs than wild salmon. Needless to say, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, mercury and other water contaminants, PCBs and various chemicals added to our foods don't contribute to "eating well".

Your Body Can Handle Toxins - It's the Amount That's the Problem

Our incredible bodies are designed to handle some "poison". We have built-in filtering systems, especially our liver and kidneys. They filter out harmful toxic material for our organs of elimination to get rid of. If that weren't true, we'd all be dead!

However, here's one of the problems with toxins. The so called "safe" or allowable levels don't take into consideration how many different toxins we ingest, inhale and absorb. There's a huge difference to your body if you get a "safe" amount of a few toxins, or a "safe" amount of 100 or 500 different ones. The more you take in, the bigger the burden on your liver, kidneys and elimination system and also on your immune system. In fact, the more toxins in your body - whether from ingestion, inhalation or absorption -- the more well-nourished your body needs to be, in order to counteract the ill effects.

Why Supplements Have Become Essential

You can see from the above, "eating well" is difficult, if not impossible. Also, about 50% of our meals are not prepared at home, so we don't know all the ingredients. Then, of course, with our hectic lifestyles, eating-on-the-run is often a necessity - usually of "fast foods", which are not known for their high nutritional content.

Suppose you prepare all your meals -- avoiding fast foods, highly refined sugary and starchy foods, soda, chips etc. -- does that mean you don't need supplements? I doubt it. I eat very few "foodless foods" (I admit to enjoying a sweet treat now and again!), and I eat organic foods when possible, but there are other challenges that require us to increase the amount and quality of nutrients our body receives.

Some people have the illusion that if they meditate or do yoga and/or other spiritual practices, they don't need to be concerned about nourishing their body. Maybe this is true for very "highly evolved" people who are in a state of perfect mental/emotional and spiritual balance (I don't know any of these people), but for everyone else, the cells of your body need to be well nourished. And food alone is unlikely to do the job!

Stress, Exercise and Other Factors Increase Nutritional Needs

The ever increasing physical, mental, emotional and environmental stresses that plague modern society -- including extra low frequently (elf) electronic waves from power lines, computers, TV, cell phones, etc.** -- increase our nutritional needs. Stress uses up a lot of nutrients that must be replaced to maintain health and prevent disease. People who exercise heavily -- athletes, weight lifters, body-builders, dancers, etc.-- need extra nutrients, not just extra protein. While exercise is vital for health, keep in mind that it also increases the need for certain nutrients. (**contact me for information on devices that can help protect you from these elf frequencies that are incompatible with the human body.)

Our bodies require "extra" nutrients (more than food can supply) in order to deal with a variety of situations and conditions, including the following: genetic weaknesses, illness and injuries, recovery from surgery, the side-effects of medicinal drugs, smoking or living/working with smokers, working with chemicals, excessive alcohol, social drugs, excessive sugar consumption (sugar uses up B complex vitamins).

Can Supplements Replace Drugs?

That's not likely, nor is it desirable. Aside from all the political and monetary "reasons" for the proliferation of drugs, sometimes drugs are essential, especially for life-threatening, acute illnesses or for elderly people who haven't the stamina to rebuild their body naturally. And when it comes to controlling pain, nothing is as effective as drugs. (Would you want to suffer excruciating pain after an accident or injury, without pain-killers? I doubt it.) Of course, since the side effects of drugs are undesirable, we want to avoid them when possible. The best way to do that is to be so well nourished and so healthy that you rarely need them.

If you get sick or are injured or have a surgical procedure, you need extra nutrients to assist your body in healing, no matter what else you do. I can't tell you that specific nutrients heal anything (that's considered "practicing medicine without a license" and is illegal). However, you can "google" individual nutrients and find out the roles they play in helping your body heal. (Googling Vitamin C resulted in 30,100,000 references.) When you're sick, supervised short-term fasting may be advised to get rid of toxins, but after that you need to have a well-nourished body.

Remember this fact -- when your body has what it needs, it heals itself - even from deadly, life-threatening diseases. I know. My body healed itself from cancer in 1994!

There's a lot of nutrition information on this site, including material you probably won't read elsewhere. As a companion to this article I highly recommend that you read Since Millions Of People Spend Billions of $$ On Supplements Annually, WHY Are So Many People Still So Sick? and Is Your Body Getting Cellular Nutrition?

Pepperdine Beats TCU To Force Decisive Game 3
June 08, 2014

By Wendell Barnhouse | Correspondent
FORT WORTH, Texas – To paraphrase the words of the Announcers Buck (Jack and Joe) … And we’ll see you tomorrow … afternoon.

Pepperdine forced Game Three in the Fort Worth Super Regional with a grind-it-out 3-2 victory over TCU Sunday at Lupton Stadium. The Waves and the Horned Frogs will meet at 3 p.m. Monday on ESPN2 with the winner heading to the College World Series in Omaha.

“It’s a big for us and big for the program,” said TCU shortstop Keaton Jones, whose two-out single in the eighth inning nearly tied the game. “We want to get to Omaha. As a team, I think we can put this game behind us.”

The Horned Frogs (46-16) will start freshman lefty Tyler Alexander (10-3, 1.94 ERA), who has thrown complete games as TCU clinched the Big 12 championship and the Fort Worth Regional. The Waves (43-17) will go with sophomore right hander Jackson McClelland (8-3, 3.53 ERA).

By virtue of a coin flip, the Horned Frogs will be the visiting team for the second consecutive game.

“Those are the rules,” TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle, whose team won the Austin Regional in 2010 to reach the CWS. “In 2010, we weren’t a national seed and we were the home team twice. That’s part of it. We’ve won regionals in that dugout. We’ve won conference tournaments in that dugout. That’s no big deal. We get to hit first.”

Pepperdine ended the Frogs’ 10-game winning streak with timely hitting and an outstanding performance from junior Aaron Brown. A third-round selection by the Philadelphia Phillies, Brown is a .300 hitter who will play center field and bat clean up in Game Three.

He’s also a quality left handed pitcher. He battled through seven innings, throwing 119 pitches to improve his record to 3-1. And after he was relieved, he moved to center and made the defensive play of the game.

“Aaron Brown was outstanding all over the field,” Schlossnagle said. “We had opportunities early in the game to get a lead. Brown is the story of the game. He had command of three pitches and he looked better than he did on film.

"As (Texas) Coach (Augie) Garrido says, 'Sometimes when you lose, it's not your fault.' I think it's more about Aaron Brown today than it was anything else."

After the Waves took a 3-0 lead, TCU finally broke through thanks to a Pepperdine melt down. Two errors on one play scored one run and put Garrett Crain at third. He scored on Jerrick Suiter’s single. A stolen base put Suiter at second with two out.

Jones lined an 0-1 pitch to center. Brown charged and threw home. The throw to catcher Aaron Barnett easily beat Suiter, who by rule couldn’t try to run over the defensive player. Instead, he went airborne and tried to leap over Barnett. Spectacular, but out.

“As soon as I saw it hit to center, I thought we had a chance to get the runner because of Aaron’s arm,” Pepperdine coach Steve Rodriguez said.

“I wasn’t surprised they sent the runner,” Brown said. “That’s a chance for them to tie it up. The runner made a great try getting to the plate.”

Lead-off hitter Brandon Caruso gave Pepperdine a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth with a two-out single off TCU starter Preston Morrison. He also drove in the eventual winning run with a two-out double in the bottom of the seventh.

Sophomore second baseman Hutton Moyer, the son of former major-league pitcher Jamie Moyer, was a game-long pest. He scored the Waves’ first run and started the two-run rally in the seventh inning. With one out and down 0-2, he was hit by a pitch.

“I tried to go with a curve ball over the inside half of the plate and I hit his leg,” said Morrison, the Big 12 pitcher of the year who is 9-4.

The Frogs, playing in front of a post-season record crowd of 5,620, had momentum going into the ninth. Pinch hitter Connor Castellano jumped on the first pitch from closer Eric Karch and hit a scorcher to the right side. Moyer – that man again – dove to knock it down and make the play at first.

“That play will go unnoticed but if you look back on it you’ll see how big a play,” Rodriguez said. “That was humongous, getting the leadoff guy out.

“It’s a little surreal to be in this position. … Winner take all, what more can you ask for?”

Kivett, Carley and Barrera Tabbed Weekly Award Winners
March 31, 2014

Ross Kivett (Kansas State), Sean Carley (West Virginia) and Tres Barrera (Texas) have been named Big 12 baseball weekly award winners for games played March 24-30.

Kivett earns his second Big 12 Player of the Week honor this season. Carley (Pitcher of the Week) and Barrera (Newcomer of the Week) are first-time award recipients.

Ross Kivett, Kansas State, Sr., OF, Broadview Heights, Ohio/St. Edward
Kivett, who started off the week’s four games by hitting for the cycle, batted .588 (10-for-17) with three doubles, seven RBI, seven runs scored, a .600 OBP, and a 1.059 slugging percentage – all leading or tied for the lead in the Big 12 for the week. He had a multi-hit game in each of the four contests, helping him total a Big 12-best 10 hits. On March 26 against Nebraska, Kivett became the first Wildcat to hit for the cycle in nearly 17 years. He had a home run in the first inning, a triple in the second, a double in the third, and a single in the sixth (his fifth at-bat of the game) to hit for the first cycle in K-State history since Heath Schesser on April 30, 1997. It was also the 15th cycle in Big 12 history. He followed up that mid-week performance by notching two hits in each contest of the three-game series at Creighton. In the series win against the Bluejays, Kivett went 6-for-12 with two doubles, four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base.

Sean Carley, West Virginia, Jr., RHP, Melbourne, Fla./Air Force
Carley improved to 5-0 this season with a 4-1 complete game victory over No. 29 Baylor on Sunday. The junior allowed just one run on five hits with two strikeouts and one walk. The right-hander allowed just two hits in his final six innings. The win gave WVU a rain-shortened series sweep. Carley is 5-0 this season with a 2.47 ERA and has struck out 29 batters in 47.1 innings, while opponents are hitting .244 against him.

Tres Barrera, Texas, Fr., C/1B, Eagle Pass, Texas/Mission Sharyland
Barrera led Texas to a 3-1 record, including a series victory at Texas Tech, with an 8-for-19 week at the plate. The freshman had a .737 slugging percentage with three doubles and his first career home run, while also leading the team with seven RBI. He had his best game at the plate on Friday in an 11-1 win over the Red Raiders, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, two doubles and two HBP to reach base five times on the evening. Since March 11, Barrera is .460 at the plate, including five doubles, a triple and a home run. He has a .660 slugging percentage and a .491 on-base percentage (1.151 OPS) in that span and has raised his batting average from .128 to .299.

Texas Tech's Beckie Named To 2013 Hermann Trophy Watch List
August 20, 2013

Texas Tech sophomore forward Janine Beckie will represent the Big 12 on the 2013 Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy Watch List.

In 2012 Beckie was an NSCAA All-America Second Team selection, earned All-Big 12 First Team honors and was named the Big 12 Rookie of the Year. The Highlands Ranch, Colo. native was tabbed by the league’s coaches to the 2013 Preseason All-Big 12 Team earlier this month.

The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual honor given in intercollegiate soccer. Named after Robert Hermann, former president of the National Professional Soccer League, the award has been given annually to the top male collegiate soccer athlete since 1967 and the top female collegiate soccer athlete since 1988.

Near the end of the regular season 15 players will be announced as semifinalists. NSCAA member coaches and fans will then narrow the field down to three finalists in December. The award will be presented by the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Jan. 10.

The Red Raiders, picked to finish second in the league, open the 2013 season at New Mexico on Friday, Aug. 23.

The entry-level R540 road pedals are based on Shimano’s long-running and successful SPD-SL design and are great all-round performers. True to Shimano’s ethos, they work in exactly the same fashion as the company’s much pricier models, but without the lighter, more exotic materials.

There’s enough release tension adjustment to make them a good beginner’s pedal, but they can be wound up tight for more experienced riders. Smooth bearings and great sealing – along with easy servicing and great dealer backup – add even more to what are great budget pedals. They come with a set of standard 6° float cleats and are compatible with all current Shimano SPD-SL cleats. Weight is 336g a pair.

The Brain: Protection

Guiding Questions
What protects the brain? Why does the brain need to be protected?

The skull protects the brain.

The brain is 80% water, and it is fragile. It is enclosed within the skull dome, or cranium, a bony shell that protects the brain and forms the shape of the head.

Animal brains fit snugly inside their skulls, which have a size and shape to afford maximum protection. Animal brains are further protected by a cushion of fluid and a covering of three thin, tough membranes, called the  meninges.

Still, our brains are vulnerable to injury. For safety, helmets should be worn when skateboarding, riding a bicycle or playing contact sports, such as hockey, baseball or football. Seat belts should be worn at all times when riding in a motor vehicle, to protect the brain from injury during a collision.

Note: Before class, create a life-sized outline of a child on butcher paper (use a student model or draw the outline free-hand). Be sure the head is turned to the right to match the illustration on “Brain Diagram 2.” This will serve as a classroom human body diagram. Display the diagram on a wall or bulletin board in the classroom. You will add information to it throughout the unit, as students learn more about the brain and senses.

Ask students, What protects the brain? Discuss their answers. Then, have students place their hands on their heads and ask, What do you feel? Tell students that the hard surface is the skull, which is made of several bones.

Saturday: KCDC at The Bazaar Cafe

Saturday, August 8th, 2015

Bazaar Cafe

KCDC Acoustic w/Alex Walsh 7pm-9pm

5927 California St San Francisco, CA 94114

Once upon a time, many years ago ago, I made a weekly visit to The Bazaar Cafe in the Richmond, where songwriters gathered (and still gather) to play their latest songs at the Open Mic. It was a nerve-wracking experience, playing in front of the other songwriters, kind of like an unofficial adult school of songwriting. Plus the Bazaar is unplugged, and acoustic. No PA, no microphone, no nada. I often broke out into cold sweats before and after, but somehow, over time,  I got better at holding it together to play my songs in front of people, and a I met some long-term friends.
A very large percentage of Bay Area songwriters have come through its unassuming doors to play and listen over the years. It has a living room feel and at this point, it would be very interesting to hear what its walls would say if they could talk.
We still play there once or twice a year, and this weekend, we're up, offering an all-acoustic set of KCDC songs from our "Your Own Reaction" CD and new material for our next one. Alex Walsh joins us for a set and to play guitar and we'll have Andrew Gibson on bass.  Plus...there's pie!

YouTube Portraits

Drawing from a vast library of recent online birth videos,

Helen Knowles appropriates imagery of women in the

transcendental state of birth. Sourced from films posted

on YouTube by women empowered by their experience,

Knowles’ striking prints attempt to unpick cultural attitudes

to birth and probe the difficulty audiences may have with

certain kinds of imagery. YouTube portraits consist of seven

large-scale screen prints. Using an innovative printing

technique of exposing a screen with a digital projector,

Knowles creates images that oscillate between the figurative

and abstraction. By selecting footage that portrays the

women’s euphoria, Knowles attempts to capture the intense

emotion through a heightened colour contrast, challenging

the separation between women as mothers and women

as sexual entities.

Nowadays, people can find different scooters in various kinds of TV programs, so electric scooters are no longer the toys for some certain small group. Fosjoas K1 electric skateboard, a fully-upgraded skateboard on the basis of traditional one, can satisfy skateboarder’s enthusiasm to the hilt.

Generally speaking, most of people are short of exercise in winter. Truly, compared with chill outside, people prefer to stay at warm space, but it isn’t good for health at all. What is worse, people’s cold-resistance ability will decline gradually. Meanwhile, too much chill striking physical body will lower down immunity and resistance to illness. Fosjoas K1 electric skateboard will attract people out of warm house and make them fall in love with exercise as well as the cold winter. Fosjoas K1 is a motorized skateboard, but is totally different from traditional ones.

Riding becomes very relaxing in cold winter. K1 self-balancing skateboardis controlled by aerospace attitude control theory, fuzzy software algorithm and gyroscope system to keep itself balance. When riders stand on the board and slightly lean forward, Fosjoas K1 will advance automatically. However, it doesn’t mean that skateboarding is completely effortless. It just doesn’t need too much physical strength, but a skillful force from join strength of four limbs, backbone and whole muscles. It won’t make players feel exhausted even if continuously riding for one hour. On the contrary, the body will be fully exercised.

Matt Garza Reportedly Traded to Rangers for Mike Olt, C.J. Edwards, Justin Grimm and a PTBNL

Chicago Cubs Rumors

matt garza cubsHere we go …

Ken Rosenthal reports that Matt Garza will not make his start tonight for the Chicago Cubs as expected. Instead, sources tell him, a deal with the Rangers is “near.” That’s is for details so far, but I expect this to develop in the next few hours.

In case you missed it, the Cubs nearly completed a trade involving Garza on Friday. Although you had to do some dot-connecting to get there, it appeared that the package was Garza and another Cub (possibly James Russell) for third base prospect Mike Olt, infield prospect Luis Sardinas, and pitching prospects C.J. Edwards and Neil Ramirez. A medical issue caught the Cubs’ eye after the exchange of records, and the deal was temporarily held up.

We’ll see if the ultimate package – assuming this deal with the Rangers actually goes down now – is similar.

UPDATE: Jon Heyman also reports that Garza has been scratched for tonight, and a deal with the Rangers is close.

UPDATE 2 (3:59pm CT): Jerry Crasnick isn’t quite hearing the same thing as Heyman and Rosenthal, instead saying only that the talks between the Cubs and Rangers have picked back up. He adds that another involved club tells him that the Rangers are making “another big push” to get a deal done.

UPDATE 3 (4:03pm CT): Oh my – Jeff Passan, who initially reported the “snag” on Friday night, now reports that Garza is going to the Rangers.

UPDATE 4 (4:04pm CT): Buster Olney says a deal with Texas is “close.” They were the “most motivated.”

UPDATE 5 (4:04pm CT): Mike Olt is in the deal, per Jeff Passan.

UPDATE 6 (4:06pm CT): Dave Kaplan says the deal is “being finalized,” but not quite done.

UPDATE 7 (4:07pm CT): Jeff Wilson reports that young Rangers reliever Joe Ortiz could be involved. He’s already having success at the big league level at 22, so it’s fair to wonder if he’s been substituted into the deal, given the Cubs’ concerns about Neil Ramirez (again, per Wilson). Wilson says the Rangers did have health concerns about Garza, for whatever that’s worth.

UPDATE 8 (4:10pm CT): Rosenthal reports that it’s Garza for Olt, C.J. Edwards, and a third player.

UPDATE 9 (4:11pm CT): Passan says it’s actually Olt, Edwards, a third player, AND a player to be named later. Evan Grant reports that he’s heard two versions of the package, with one being Olt/Edwards/Ramirez, and one being Olt/Edwards/Rougned Odor (a very good second base prospects at the lower levels).

UPDATE 10 (4:13pm CT): Kaplan says it’s a done deal, and Garza is a Ranger.

UPDATE 11 (4:16pm CT): Jon Heyman says the deal is done pending medicals, and we know how that can go. Unless the replacement piece has any issues, this is going to happen.

UPDATE 12 (4:23pm CT): Although the Cubs aren’t yet ready to announce the deal, they have identified Chris Rusin as tonight’s starter, according to multiple reports.

UPDATE 13 (4:25pm CT): Jeff Passan reports that the final package includes Major League starter Justin Grimm, making it Garza for Olt/Edwards/Grimm and a PTBNL. If so, that’s a hell of a nice haul (albeit a slightly flawed one) for Garza.

UPDATE 14 (4:27pm CT): Grimm, 24, hasn’t had big league success yet, but he’s the same age as Neil Ramirez and already in the bigs (minor league track record is short and decent for Grimm). That’s a nice substitution right there (I’m assuming that Sardinas was dropped because the “other Cub” was dropped).

UPDATE 15 (4:30pm CT): Passan says it was the A’s involvement that spurred the Rangers to “up the ante,” meaning that those involved believed Grimm is an upgrade from Ramirez. I think I’d agree.

UPDATE 16 (4:34pm CT): Gordon Wittenmyer reports that the PTBNL list *includes* Neil Ramirez. If true, this deal is a huge, huge haul for the Cubs. No one else has said anything about the caliber of players on the PTBNL list, or if it’s contingent on anything (like Justin Grimm’s current forearm soreness becoming something more serious).

UPDATE 17 (4:41pm CT): This might be the last update until this thing goes official. When that happens, and some dust settles, I’ll have more on the prospects involved, and an overall evaluation of the trade. Right now, gut says: very solid return for Garza, and just about what I’d expected all along (top 100ish prospect (Olt), and two organizational top 15s (Grimm and Edwards (yes, I know it’s debatable how high up they are – Edwards is borderline top 100 at this point, and Grimm no longer is technically a prospect)). If that PTBNL ends up being someone like Ramirez, then it goes from solid return to oh-wow-seriously-well-done-borderline-squeal.
