The submount removable media handling system automatically mounts and unmounts removable media devices such as CDROMs, DVDs, and floppy drives. It is a two part system, with a small kernel module and a userspace program. It provides the same functionality as supermount, but (hopefully) avoids supermount's stability problems.
GPL and libraries.
The FSF clearly intended that GPLed libraries would not be usable to make proprietary programs. That is why they created the LGPL originally-- to allow libraries to be used outside of the Free-Software environment. If lawyers claim that the language of the GPL does not make this apparent, then it is a serious flaw in the GPL, and the FSF needs to update the GPL to make that particular point clear.

Developer's personal settings and preferences are stored in a .user file. This is why it's not recommended to add .user files to VSS or other Source Control tool – keep personal to yourself.
However, when using ClickOnce deployment, the published version is stored in YourExeProject.csproj.user. So, if you don't check this file into VSS, when somebody else (or you on another computer) will do the ClickOnce publishing to the deployment server, the version number will restart from zero! Needless to say, that will mess up your versioning… You could manually enter the version you want, but many don't... So, if you're using ClickOnce with version auto-increment, do add your csproj.user file to the solution and check it into Source Control tool.

The Care Quality Commission has rated the quality of care provided by the Hereward Group Practice, Bourne as good following a recent inspection.
This follows an earlier inspection in February, where the practice was rated inadequate and had been placed in special measures.
The practice, in Exeter Street, Bourne, provides primary medical care services to about 12,500 patients.
Inspectors found that the practice is providing high quality, safe, caring and effective care; meeting the needs of the population it serves.
The CQC has published its full inspection report on its website at www.cqc.org.uk
It highlights several areas of good practice, including:
l The practice had put in place an effective system to safeguard adults and children.
l A practice was putting new systems in place for palliative care monitoring.
l Staff assessed the needs of patients in line with current evidence based guidance.
l Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect.
l Patients were involved in their care and decisions about their treatment.
l The practice had good facilities and was well-equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.
Partner Dr Ian Wheatley said: "The staff and Partners at Hereward Group Practice have worked hard all year, since the previous CQC Inspection, to make the changes that were required. We are naturally delighted that the CQC has at re-inspection award us a rating of 'good' for our services.
"The whole team should be really proud of what they have achieved. We will continue to work to give the highest quality care that we can to our patients."
Business manager at the practice Jonathan Flint added: "This is the result of all the hard work and motivation of every member of the practice in response to difficult circumstances and results of the previous inspection.
"Due to their continued efforts and input from a very supportive patient participation group we have raised the rating to 'good' across all five key areas.
"This result will reassure our patients that we are always striving to provide excellent care to all."

The load balancer plug-in installation program makes a few modifications to the web server's configuration files. The changes made depend upon the web server. In addition, for some web servers you must make manual configurations in order for the load balancer to work properly.
The load balancer plug-in can be installed either along with Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition, or separately, on a machine running the supported web server. For complete details on the installation procedure, see Chapter 1, Installing Application Server Software, in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Installation Guide (if using the standalone Application Server) or Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX (if using Java Enterprise System).
For Sun Java System Web Server, when you install the load balancer plug-in, the installation program automatically does all necessary configuration. No manual configuration is required.
The installation program adds the following entries to the Sun Java System Web Server's configuration files:
To the web server instance's magnus.conf file, it adds:
##EE lb-pluginInit fn="load-modules" shlib="web-server-install-dir/plugins/lbplugin/bin/libpassthrough.so" funcs="init-passthrough,service-passthrough,name-trans-passthrough" Thread="no" Init fn="init-passthrough" ##end addition for EE lb-plugin
To the web server instance's obj.conf file, it adds:
<Object name=default> NameTrans fn="name-trans-passthrough" name="lbplugin" config-file="web-server-install-dir/web-server-instance/config/loadbalancer.xml" <Object name="lbplugin"> ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/lbplugin" PathCheck fn="deny-existence" path="*/WEB-INF/*" Service type="magnus-internal/lbplugin" fn="service-passthrough" Error reason="Bad Gateway" fn="send-error" uri="$docroot/badgateway.html" </object>
In the above code, lbplugin is a name that uniquely identifies the Object, and web-server-install-dir/web-server-instance/config/loadbalancer.xml is the location of the XML configuration file for the virtual server on which the load balancer is configured to run.
The order in which NameTrans entries appear in obj.conf is very important. The installer puts the NameTrans entries in the correct location, but if you are editing obj.conf for other purposes you must ensure that the order remains correct. In particular, the load balancer info must come before the document-root function. For more information on the obj.conf file, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
After installing, configure the load balancer as described in Setting Up HTTP Load Balancing.
To use Apache Web Server, you must perform certain configuration steps before installing the load balancer plug-in. The load balancer plug-in installation also makes additional modifications to the Apache Web Server. After the plug-in is installed, you must perform additional configuration steps.
On Apache 1.3, when more than one Apache child processes runs, each process has its own load balancing round robin sequence. For example, if there are two Apache child processes running, and the load balancer plug-in load balances on to two application server instances, the first request is sent to instance #1 and the second request is also sent to instance #1. The third request is sent to instance #2 and the fourth request is sent to instance #2 again. This pattern is repeated (instance1, instance1, instance2, instance2, and so forth). This behavior is different from what you might expect, that is, instance1, instance2, instance1, instance2, etc. In Sun Java System Application Server, the load balancer plug-in for Apache instantiates a load balancer instance for each Apache process, creating an independent load balancing sequence.
Apache 2 has multithreaded behavior if compiled with the --with-mpm=worker option.
Configuring Apache before Installing the Load Balancer Plug-in
Configuring Apache After Installing the Load Balancer Plug-In
For the Apache Web Server, your installation must meet the minimum requirements, depending on the version of Apache.
With Apache 1.3, the load balancer plug-in requires:
openssl-0.9.8b (source)
mod_ssl-2.8.n-1.3.x (source), where n represents the correct version of mod_ssl for your version of Apache, and x represents the version of Apache
gcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC)
gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)
The preinstalled gcc (for Solaris 10)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)
The preinstalled flex (for Solaris 10)
The software sources are available at http://www.sunfreeware.com.
For more information on mod_ssl, including the correct version of mod_ssl to use with your version of Apache, see http://www.modssl.org.
In addition, before compiling Apache:
On the Linux 2.1 platform, install Sun Java System Application Server on the same machine.
On the Solaris 9 operating system, use pkgadd to install gcc and flex. Note that pkgadd requires root access.
On the Solaris 9 operating system, ensure that gcc version 3.3 and make are in the PATH, and flex is installed.
On the Solaris 10 operating system, on Java Enterprise System installations, before running make for OpenSSL, run mkheaders, located in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris SPARC or /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris x86.
If you are using gcc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1, the version must be later than gcc 3.0.
To use C compiler other than gcc, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable. For example, with the sh shell: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:application-server-install-dir/lib
With Apache 2, the load balancer plug-in requires:
openssl-0.9.8b (source)
httpd-2.0.49 (source)
gcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC).
gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)
The preinstalled gcc (for Solaris 10)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)
The preinstalled flex (for Solaris 10)
The software sources are available at http://www.sunfreeware.com
In addition, before compiling Apache:
On the Linux platform, install Sun Java System Application Server on the same machine.
On the Solaris 9 operating system, use pkgadd to install gcc and flex. Note that pkgadd requires root access.
On the Solaris 9 operating system, ensure that gcc version 3.3 and make are in the PATH, and flex is installed.
On the Solaris 10 operating system, before running make for OpenSSL, run mkheaders, located in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris SPARC or /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris x86.
If you are using gcc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1, the version must be later than gcc 3.0.
To use a C compiler other than gcc, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable.
Before installing the load balancer plug-in for Apache, install the Apache Web Server. The Apache source must be compiled and built to run with SSL. This section describes the minimum requirements and high-level steps needed to successfully compile Apache Web Server to run the load balancer plug-in. These requirements and steps only apply to the Solaris and Linux versions of the software. For information on the Windows version of Apache, see the Apache web site.
The instructions included here are adapted from the instructions at http://httpd.apache.org/docs. For detailed instructions on installing SSL-aware Apache, please see that web site.
You must have already downloaded and uncompressed the Apache software.
Download and unpack the OpenSSL source, available at http://openssl.org.
Compile and build OpenSSL.
This step is not required on the Linux 3.0 platform if OpenSSL 0.9.7.e is installed. It is required for Linux 4.0.
For full installation instructions, see the file named INSTALL in the directory where you uncompressed OpenSSL. That file has information on installing OpenSSL in a user-specified location.
For more information about OpenSSL, see the http://www.openssl.org/.
Download and unpack Apache.
Apache is available from http://httpd.apache.org.
Compile and build Apache.
Follow one of these procedures, depending on the version of Apache:
For Apache 1.3, configure Apache with mod_ssl with the following steps:
Unpack the mod_ssl source.
Type the following:
cd mod_ssl-2.8.n–1.3.x
Type the following:
./configure –with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.8b --prefix=Apache-install-path --enable-module=ssl --enable-shared=ssl --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --enable-module=so
In the above commands, n is the correct version of mod_ssl to use with your version of Apache, x is the Apache version number, and Apache-install-path is the directory in which to install Apache.
For more information on mod_ssl, including the correct version of mod_ssl to use with your version of Apache, see http://www.modssl.org.
For Apache 2, configure the source tree:
cd http-2.0_x.
Run the following command:
./configure --with-ssl= OpenSSL-install-path --prefix= Apache-install-path --enable-ssl --enable-so
In the above commands, x is the Apache version number, open-ssl-install-path is the absolute path to directory where OpenSSL is installed, and Apache-install-path is the directory in which to install Apache.
Note that you only need to use the --enable-ssl --enable-so options if your Apache 2 server will be accepting HTTPS requests.
For Apache 2, make sure Apache's ssl.conf and httpd.conf files contains the correct values for your environment.
In ssl.conf, for VirtualHost default:port replace the default hostname and port with the hostname of the local system where Apache 2 is installed and the server's port number.
Without this change, the load balancer will not work. On Solaris Apache may not start and on Linux, HTTPS requests may not work.
In ssl.conf, for ServerName www.example.com:443, replace www.example.com with the hostname of the local system where Apache 2 is installed.
Without this change, the following warning appears when you start Apache if a security certificate is installed:
[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) hostname does NOT match server name!
For more information on installing certificates for Apache 2, see To Create a Security Certificate for Apache 2.
In httpd.conf, for ServerName www.example.com:80, replace www.example.com with the hostname of the local system where Apache 2 is installed.
Without this change, you see warnings when you start Apache that the system could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, and that there are overlapping VirtualHost entries.
If you installed apache as a root user, please be sure to read the note on configuring the User and Group in apache-install-location/conf/httpd.conf. Apache runs as the user described in httpd.conf. For the load balancer plug-in to be initialized when Apache is started, the loadbalancer.xml file and the sun-loadbalancer_1_1.dtd file (found in apache-install-location/conf) must have file permissions in accordance to this user.
For Apache on Linux 2.1, before compiling:
Open src/MakeFile and find the end of the automatically generated section.
Add the following lines after the first four lines after the automatically generated section:
LIBS+= -licuuc -licui18n -lnspr4 -lpthread -lxerces-c -lsupport -lnsprwrap -lns-httpd40 LDFLAGS+= -L/application-server-install-dir/lib -L/opt/sun/private/lib
Note that -L/opt/sun/private/lib is only required if you installed Application Server as part of a Java Enterprise System installation.
For example:
## (End of automatically generated section) ## CFLAGS=$(OPTIM) $(CFLAGS1) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) LIBS=$(EXTRA_LIBS) $(LIBS1) INCLUDES=$(INCLUDES1) $(INCLUDES0) $(EXTRA_INCLUDES) LDFLAGS=$(LDFLAGS1) $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS) "LIBS+= -licuuc -licui18n -lnspr4 -lpthread -lxerces-c -lsupport -lnsprwrap -lns-httpd40 LDFLAGS+= -L/application-server-install-dir /lib -L/opt/sun/private/lib
Set environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
With stand–alone installations, set it to the Application Server: install-dir/lib
With Java Enterprise System Installations, set it to the Application Server: install-dir/lib:opt/sun/private/lib.
If you are using Solaris 9, add /usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Compile Apache as described in the installation instructions for the version you are using.
For more information, see the http://httpd.apache.org/
In general the steps are:
The command make certificate asks for a secure password. Remember this password as it is required for starting secure Apache.
The load balancer plug-in installation program extracts the necessary files to a directory in the web server's root directory:
For Apache 1.3, the directory is libexec.
For Apache 2, the directory is modules .
It adds the following entries to the web server instance's httpd.conf file:
<VirtualHost machine-name:443> ##Addition for EE lb-plugin LoadFile /usr/lib/libCstd.so.1 LoadModule apachelbplugin_module libexec/mod_loadbalancer.so #AddModule mod_apachelbplugin.cpp <IfModule mod_apachelbplugin.cpp> config-file webserver-instance/conf/loadbalancer.xml locale en </IfModule><VirtualHost machine-ip-address> DocumentRoot "webserver-instance/htdocs" ServerName server-name </VirtualHost> ##END EE LB Plugin ParametersVersion 7
Note that for Apache 2, the module is mod_apache2lbpblugin.cpp.
Apache Web Server must have the correct security files to work with the load balancer plug-in. The load balancer depends on the NSS (Network Security Service) library which requires these security database files. You need to get these security database files from Application Server, so an installation of Application Server must be available in a location accessible by the Web Server.
Create a directory called sec_db_files under Apache-install-dir.
Copy the security database files from Application Server to the directory you created.
Copy domain-dir/config/*.db to Apache-install-dir/sec_db_files.
Depending on the platform, perform additional configuration.
On the Solaris platform, for Java Enterprise System installations:
Add the path /usr/lib/mps/secv1 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the Apache-install-dir/bin/apachectl script. The path must be added before /usr/lib/mps.
On the Linux platform, for Java Enterprise System installation:
Add the path /opt/sun/private/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the Apache-install-dir/bin/apachectl script. The path must be added before /usr/lib.
On Microsoft Windows:
Add a new path to the Path environment variable.
Click Start ⇒ Settings ⇒ Control Panel ⇒ System ⇒ Advanced ⇒ Environment Variables ⇒ System Variables.
Add the Application Serverinstall-dir/bin to the Path environment variable.
Set the environment variable NSPR_NATIVE_THREADS_ONLY to 1.
In the Environment Variables window, under System Variables, click New. Enter Variable name of NSPR_NATIVE_THREADS_ONLY and Variable value of 1.
Restart the machine.
These steps are required to support HTTPS requests on Apache.
For detailed information on setting up a security certificate on Apache, see the instructions on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html and http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html. The following procedure is adapted from those web sites.
Go to the appropriate OpenSSL directory:
If using Solaris 10, use the preinstalled OpenSSL for certificate creation. cd /usr/sfw/bin
If using Solaris 9 or Linux, go to the directory where you installed OpenSSL. You should already have run configure and make for OpenSSL as instructed in To Install SSL-aware Apache.
Set up an environment variable OPENSSL_CONF=OpenSSL-installation-directory/apps/openssl.cnf.
Create the server certificate and key by executing the following command:
openssl req -new -x509 -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem -days 365
When asked for a common name, give the host name on which you plan to run Apache. For all other prompts, enter values that meet any specific requirements you have.
This command creates newreq.pem.
Open the newly-created newreq.pem from the location where the openssl command was run.
Copy the lines beginning with BEGIN CERTIFICATE and ending with END CERTIFICATE and paste them in Apache-install-dir/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt. For example:
Copy the lines beginning with BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY and END RSA PRIVATE KEY and paste them in Apache-install-dir/conf/ssl.key/server.key. For example:
Make sure that the variables SSLCertificateKeyFileand SSLCertificateFile in Apache-install-dir/conf/ssl.conf have the correct values.
Ensure that the ServerName is not www.example.com. The ServerName should be the actual host name where Apache will run, matching the Common Name you entered when creating the server certificate and key.
For the sticky round robin feature to work, in the httpd.conf file, under the section prefork MPM, ensure that the values of the parameters StartServers and maxclients are set to 1. Otherwise, every new session request will spawn a new Apache process and the load balancer plug-in will be initialized resulting in requests landing in the same instance.
In general, you should start Apache with the same user that installed the Application Server. You must start Apache as root under the following circumstances:
If you are a Java Enterprise System user.
If you've used port numbers which are less than 1024.
If Apache runs as a different user from the user that starts it.
To start Apache in SSL mode, use one of the following commands:
apachetl startssl or apachetl -k start -DSSL
If needed, check the Apache web site for the latest information on starting the Apache server.
To configure Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to use the load balancer plug-in, modify certain properties in Windows Internet Services Manager. The Internet Services Manager is located in the Administrative Tools folder in the Control Panel folder.
Make these modifications after installing the Sun Java System Application Server.
Open the Internet Services Manager.
Select the web site for which you want to enable the plug-in.
This web site is typically named the Default Web Site.
Right click on the web site and select Properties to open the Properties notebook.
Add a new ISAPI filter, following these steps:
Create and configure a new virtual directory:
Right click on the default web site, select New, and then Virtual Directory.
The Virtual Directory Creation Wizard opens.
In the Alias field, type sun-passthrough .
In the Directory field, type C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sun-passthrough.
Check the Execute Permission checkbox.
Leave all other permission-related check boxes are left unchecked.
Click Finish.

Niners might go old school with Reeves
Reeves interviews for coordinator job
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, January 24, 2009
A coach who was good enough to win 190 games in the NFL and take his teams to four Super Bowls interviewed for the San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator job Friday. Niners coach Mike Singletary also interviewed a coach who took a rookie quarterback to within one game of the Super Bowl.
Former Broncos, Giants and Falcons coach Dan Reeves and Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson became the sixth and seventh candidates for the coordinator position since Singletary fired Mike Martz on Dec. 30.
Jackson, 43, was up first in the morning at the team's Santa Clara headquarters, followed hours later by Reeves, the latter an intriguing prospect to be sure.
Reeves, 65, has been out of the NFL since 2003 as a coach but has remained active in the game. He's done radio broadcasts of NFL games and did consulting work on the start-up football program at Georgia State University, scheduled to begin Division I play in 2011.
As an NFL coach, Reeves crafted a career record of 190-165-2. He took four of his teams to the Super Bowl and lost them all, including three with the Denver Broncos - the third being a 55-10 rout by the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV.
A running back in his playing days with the Dallas Cowboys and later a coaching protege of the late Tom Landry, Reeves had mixed success with his teams' offenses during 23 years as an NFL head coach.
Six times a Reeves-coached team finished in the top 10 in the league in total offense, including a No. 2 ranking with Denver in 1987. Seven times Reeves' teams ranked in the top 10 in rushing offense, including No. 1 with the Giants in 1993.
With his sixth and seventh candidates interviewed, Singletary is either exercising due diligence in his search for a coordinator or is struggling to find someone compatible with his vision for the 49ers' offense.
The old-school Reeves is someone who believes in a strong running game, which coincides with the kind of offense Singletary wants to develop in San Francisco. He offered the coordinator job to former Rams coach Scott Linehan a week ago, but Linehan turned him down Sunday, citing nebulous family concerns.
On Friday, Linehan accepted a similar position with the 0-16 Detroit Lions.
Those close to Linehan say he was not comfortable with Singletary and did not like either of the quarterbacks on the roster, Shaun Hill and Alex Smith. With Detroit, he'll be reunited with quarterback Daunte Culpepper, whom he coached as the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator.
Reeves, who turned 65 on Monday and is a decade removed from heart surgery, became an NFL head coach in 1981 with Denver. With a young John Elway as his quarterback, Reeves took the Broncos to three Super Bowls.
Elway always thought Reeves held him back as a player, however, and in 1992, Reeves was fired and replaced by Wade Phillips. He moved on to the New York Giants from 1993-96, when he was again fired after going 11-21 in his last two seasons there.
Reeves' last head coaching stop was with Atlanta from 1997-2003. He led the Falcons to their only Super Bowl in '98 despite missing time late in the year for heart surgery brought on by high cholesterol. The Falcons lost to Denver in Super Bowl XXXIII.
With a 3-10 record in 2003, Reeves stepped down in Atlanta and was again replaced by Phillips for the remainder of that season.
Jackson, an NFL assistant coach since 2001, became available when the Ravens lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
In addition to Reeves, Jackson and Linehan, Singletary has interviewed Jeff Jagodzinski, Rick Dennison, Rob Chudzinski and Clyde Christensen. Dennison has since been retained on Denver's staff.
Jackson was credited with helping the Ravens prosper at quarterback in 2008 despite major setbacks involving Kyle Boller and Troy Smith. When Boller was injured and Smith became ill, the team had no choice but to turn to rookie Joe Flacco.

About me
I am originally from Finland where I did my Master in Cell Biology at Åbo Akademi University in Turku. During my studies I spent a fantastic exchange year in Scotland at the University of Aberdeen. There I took many courses in Neuroscience and my astonishment for the complexity of the brain was further increased. I feel privileged for, already as a PhD-student, being able to work with what I think is among the most fascinating processes; synaptic function and Alzheimer disease.
Also outside of work I´m busy making this world a better place.
Master of Science (Cell Biology) from Åbo Akademi University, Finland (2011)
Research description
Early in Alzheimer disease the connections between neurons, called synapses, begin to degenerate. The toxic amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) is believed to play an important role in this degeneration but the mechanisms behind remain elusive. In my PhD project I study the role of Aβ at synapses in Alzheimer disease. I´m particularly interested in where Aβ is produced and how it is secreted from synapses.

I have a Vivitar Camera that I bought from a Pawn Shop. The Flash worked fine for the first few months having it. I didn't use it for a while, and once I finally did, I heard 3 pops. After that my flash no longer works. When I switch into Flash mode it blinks and goes back to No Flash mode. Do you think it's the flash tube, the circuit or the battery that charges the flash? I opened the camera and nothing looks blown.

And if there are people in your life that may be clueless about what to get you – here are a list of great suggestions of gifts to buy runners this holiday season. If you're on the Nice list, pass it along to Santa and your fam.

Well, first playthrough done for me. Great, great game - absolutely loved my time spent on it so far. Could not play much yesterday so have not proceeded much into NG+ yet but I definitely intend to. Oh, and I want to start another char, probably full on magic wielder.
I definitely need to work on my parry/riposte and backstab skills though - I have gotten by so far without them but I imagine in NG+ these heavy damage dealers could become quite important!

Tabata Extension, 2011 Draft Class Point to Pittsburgh's Newfound Spending TouchAugust 22, 2011
This article also appears at Slew Footers.
The Pittsburgh Pirates opened the 2011 season with baseball's fourth-stingiest Opening Day payroll at $45.63 million.
It must have been one hell of a week in the front offices of PNC Park, then, that drew the ire of MLB Commissioner Bud Selig for what he deemed overspending by the Pirates and Washington Nationals, two of baseball's much-maligned but promising young teams.
If any promise is to exist in these and similar clubs, it will be thanks to work done in the draft. Two blue-chip prospects and a total $17 million later, the Pirates have done just that—whether or not the commissioner who oversees payrolls of more than $195 million approves.
As Sports Illustrated writer Jon Heyman notes, spending high on draft picks may be the only way for small-market teams like the Pirates and Nationals to get ahead. An overrated draft pick can mean seven or eight million dollars burned, but an overrated free agent acquisition can waste upwards of $125 million.
Last week, the Pirates set a signing deadline record by handing out $17 million in bonuses to draft picks, including a combined $13 million to number one overall selection Gerrit Cole ($8 million) and second-round prize Josh Bell ($5 million).
Cole set a signing bonus record with his deal, while Bell's $5 million was the highest bonus ever awarded a player not taken in the first round (Bell was surefire first-round material who lowered his own stock by notifying teams he intended to play college ball).
Hot on the heels of signing their big draft picks, the Pirates awarded left fielder Jose Tabata a six-year contract extension worth $14.75 million in guaranteed money, with club options in the three following years worth a potential total of $22.5 million. The deal buys Tabata out of his arbitration-eligible seasons and at max value could be worth $37.25 million over nine years.
"The Pittsburgh Pirates gave me an opportunity to play in the big leagues," Tabata said. "I don't want to talk about the money but I can say it's good because I can take care of my family."
"I like Pittsburgh. I like the city. I like the people. I want to stay here for a long time."
With Tabata's extension, count $31.75 million spent on one major league starter and one draft class, or almost 70 percent of this year's Opening Day payroll matched in just a few days.
This kind of spending contrasts well with the long-standing stigma about the team's spending habits, which were established far before the organization's current front office trio of owner Bob Nutting, President Frank Coonelly and General Manager Neal Huntington were part of the picture.
In fact, the events of the last week are some of the first real indications that the current management group is committed to reversing the trends of the past—not only in the draft, but in locking up some of the perceived "core" players.
While the Pirates are the only team in baseball to have landed in the lowest-five of opening day payrolls in each of the last eight seasons (Bob Nutting's tenure as principal owner), the team has spent more than any team in baseball in the last five entry drafts.
MLB Draft Spending, 2007-2011
1) Pittsburgh: $52,057,400
2) Washington: $51,084,600
3) Kansas City: $45,204,900
4) Boston: $44,097,250
5) Baltimore: $41,219,700
The committed money spent has locked up such names as Pedro Alvarez, Tony Sanchez, Jameson Taillon, Stetson Allie, Gerrit Cole and Josh Bell, and its worth noting that many of the signees have been clients of super agent Scott Boras, who has a checkered past with Pirates' management but who worked to get his clients signed to the club nonetheless.
Tabata's extension is the first sign that the team is committed to re-signing established major league talents, and not just handing relative mountains of cash to young men who are earning their first money as ball players.
Added to the excitement of the Tabata signing are reports that second baseman Neil Walker may not be far behind on an extension of his own.
A new deal for Walker isn't far removed from the realm of the inevitable. Walker is a Pittsburgh native and career-long product of the Pirates organization. He was the team's first pick (11th overall) in the 2004 draft, and is a fan-favorite in the city. As long as the team offers him a fair deal, locking up Walker through his arbitration-eligible seasons and beyond should be no problem.
If the Walker extension occurs this season, his signing, along with the Tabata extension and draft expenditures will see the Pirates commit more money on two major leaguers and a draft class than they spent on any Opening Day roster recent memory.
These are all great signs coming from the Pirates. The biggest confirmation of the team's renaissance will be the McCutchen extension—when, and if, the team commits to it.

Blagojevich Shows Hometown a Gentler Side as His Corruption Retrial Nears
Standing between the hot-food bar and the stir-fry line in the Chicago federal courthouse cafeteria, Rod Blagojevich jokes with a Bloomberg reporter. He offers her a Pepsi, after learning she lives in Coca-Cola's hometown, Atlanta.
"At least he's friendly," a young woman remarks to a companion in the pay line as potential jurors interviewed that morning for Blagojevich's trial swirl around the cafeteria.
Blagojevich, 54, charged with trying to trade his power as Illinois governor for favors and campaign donations, has been showing a softer side rather than the pugnacious and profane politician the public got to know. He smiles, jokes and offers thumbs-ups and handshakes to anyone amenable inside or outside the Everett Dirksen Federal Courthouse where he'll go on trial next week.
The man who once called his power to appoint Barack Obama's Senate replacement "f-----g golden" and challenged a prosecutor to be "man enough" to face him in court now dandles a dog named Skittles as he confesses to the press of "moments of fear."
Before jury selection started April 20, Blagojevich hosted journalists for interviews at his home. In an Associated Press story in the suburban Northwest Herald, he was quoted as saying it's "brutal" to have to sit through all that testimony again. An AP photo showed him in jeans and a knit shirt with the family dog on his lap.
"Blago: 'I have my moments of fear'" was the headline in the Chicago Sun-Times's Southtown Star. The story opened with Patti, his wife, making coffee and him in "his reading room" ruminating on the "multitude of books he's read." When the couple moved to the living room, Skittles took turns jumping onto their laps.
Fireplace, Dog
For still another story, in the Chicago Tribune, the ex- governor was photographed with a fireplace in the background and dog on lap. Patti, the paper reported, was on hand too.
The vulnerable, subdued Blagojevich contrasts with the character created through Elvis impersonations, reality TV appearances (Donald Trump fired him during a "Celebrity Apprentice" episode) and attacks on his prosecutors.
He called government lawyers "cowards and liars" last year and challenged U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald to be "man enough" to face him in court instead of sending assistants, the Associated Press reported. The ex-governor said the prosecutor told a "big lie" and was trying to "cover up."
Blagojevich still marshals passion and vehemence in proclaiming his innocence and accusing prosecutors of hiding evidence. He has toned down the pugnacity he showed in the wake of his indictment in 2008, when he declared, "I will fight, I will fight, I will fight until I take my last breath."
National Television
Nor has he made the rounds of national television interview shows as he did during state impeachment proceedings in 2009 and after his first federal court trial last year.
After the Illinois House voted to impeach him and before the Senate tried and removed him, Blagojevich appeared on NBC's "Today" show, ABC's "Good Morning America," "Fox News Sunday," ABC's "The View" and others. He complained of "persecution" by prosecutors and a state proceeding where "the fix is in."
On "Today" he said that, when he was arrested, he thought of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi.
Blagojevich launched another round of nationally televised appearances after his 2010 trial at which the jury convicted him of lying to federal agents while failing to reach verdicts on 23 other charges.
"Twenty-three down and one to go," he told Jon Stewart of "'The Daily Show," as if he had rid himself of those 23 charges. Prosecutors slimmed them to 20, which he faces now.
Jury Pool
Is he playing to the jury pool with the new round of local interviews?
"Of course," said Richard Waites, a Chicago-based jury consultant not part of the former governor's case.
"It may seem manipulative, because it is," says Waites. Trained as a psychologist and lawyer, he's chief executive officer of a multicity trial consulting firm, the Advocates.
Asked over lunch whether he was attempting an image re- make, Blagojevich said, "No." His wife then cut short the conversation, saying news interviews aren't allowed in the cafeteria. Neither Blagojevich nor his spokesman Glenn Selig replied later to phone and e-mail messages.
In the jury-pool questioning, most of those who told the judge they have an impression of Blagojevich weren't favorably inclined toward him.
One called him a "nut case" on a questionnaire. Another, who had seen him on reality TV, thought him "off center." Several said they believe him to be guilty.
"It would take a strong case by Mr. Blagojevich to prove he's not guilty," one prospective juror wrote.
Jurors' Comments
Such comments alone didn't persuade U.S. District Judge James Zagel to send them home. When pressed individually on whether they could decide the case only on the evidence at the trial, those who said they could stayed in the pool.
From that group of more than 40, prosecutors and defense lawyers next week will pick 12 jurors and six alternates, with each side allowed cuts -- 13 for the defense and nine for the government -- without having to say why. Then will come opening statements and evidence, including the recorded conversations.
In one captured talk, Blagojevich describes his power to appoint Obama's replacement in the Senate seat he vacated to become president.
"I've got this thing, and it's f-----g golden, and I'm not giving it up for f-----g nothing," the governor is heard to say.
That excerpt is so well-known that a potential juror downloaded it from the Internet and used it as his telephone ringtone, he told the judge.
Blagojevich made fun of it, too, when he and his wife co- hosted a local radio show on WLS-AM last month and he complimented himself on air on how well he had handled the show.
"Hey, Patti, you'll be proud of me," he said. "Not one single swear word. It's effing golden how I'm doing here."

A recent article in the advertising industry publication Creativity highlights a problem that should worry ad agencies as much as it does their clients. This story reinforces the doubts some marketers must feel about the real priorities of the agencies they hire to create brand-building messages.
The piece describes an advertising campaign created for a political candidate running for attorney general in a recent Illinois state Republican primary. The campaign made political advertising history and attracted national attention, the story reports. According to its creator, the campaign "broke every rule that politicians make about advertising." It broadly lampooned traditional political advertising, which made it stand out from the cluttered world of political ads. The ads championed the "product"--Bob Coleman--as "A great lawyer, not a great politician."
It was, its creator claimed, "great work."
Where's the proof? The client received 34 percent of the vote. That means that two thirds of the voting party electorate was unimpressed by Coleman's message. His party didn't nominate him and, come this month, he won't be on the ticket, running for the office he sought.
What's so great about that?
Confronted by the candidate's dismal showing at the polls, one would assume that the creators of this ad campaign would be both chastened and chagrined at the apparent failure of their efforts. Hardly. In fact, the campaign's chief architect stated that the "spots weren't designed to elect him; they were designed to give him awareness. Now he's a household word."
Coleman may be a household word, but, nevertheless, he won't be on the ticket in November. Enron is also a household word, but Arthur Andersen doesn't seek to take credit for it. There's more to success than achieving household-word status.
If the candidate didn't win, then who did?
Aiming at the wrong targetThe article reports that the creator of the campaign, Jan Zechman, "won big time." The campaign was considered a success because it broke new ground and because the candidate "laughed harder at the spots than anybody." Of course, these ads undoubtedly will be featured prominently on the creator's reel, demonstrating his ability to design and execute attention-getting advertising.
But when did getting attention become the key criterion for significant achievement in an ad campaign? Is an advertising agency's success best measured by its ability to attract attention to itself, or to a product name? Shouldn't an ad or a campaign's success be measured by its ability to achieve a far more meaningful result--one that presumably was the reason the ad creator was hired and why the client spent the money?
If the product loses, how can the advertising be said to win?
Ads are not created to forge a bond between a company and its advertising agency. Companies or candidates spend their marketing money to create a bond between the company and its current or potential customers.
Brands obviously need ads that can help them stand out from the increasing clutter of competitive offerings. Brands must vie aggressively for the consumer's attention. Companies hire advertising agencies to create ad campaigns designed to make their brand top-of-mind. They create ads that cajole, or sing, or sometimes even scream. And their client companies invest considerable sums of money to support these ad campaigns.
Why do marketers spend in $2 million or more for a single 30-second TV spot during the Super Bowl? Because they believe that brand awareness counts.
Brand awareness is only the first step, however, and often marketers and their ad agencies forget this simple but essential fact. Too often, "step one" becomes the final destination, rather than the first step on a journey of a thousand miles.
Making it countAdvertising can be an effective means to raise awareness of a brand name or a brand claim, but that is not the marketer's ultimate goal. It's certainly not how the ad's return on investment will be assessed in the company's boardroom.
Gallup Organization research points out that advertising can be a tool to establish customer expectations. But this research also shows that it is not a sufficient tool for actually delivering on those expectations, which is where the actual product and service experience must come powerfully into play.
When it comes to connecting with customers, great advertising cannot overcome poor product performance. In addition, memorable and entertaining advertising cannot compensate for an unconvincing or irrelevant message--even if the client laughs harder than anybody.
A poorly positioned product can be memorably established in what turns out to be an undesirable perceptual space. But this will not attract customers--nor, as the Creativity article reveals, will it attract voters. Companies do not create or sustain enduringly profitable customer relationships just by entertaining their customers.
Entertainment can help an advertising message or a political candidate gain the attention of an audience. And distinctive advertising may be needed for an ad message to break through the morass of media messages.
However, there is absolutely no value in breaking through with a non-performing message. It makes no more sense for companies to spend marketing money on messages that have no appeal to consumers than it does for them to spend money to create messages that no one hears, or to showcase products and services that no one wants. The result is exactly the same: wasted money, and no apparent return on the investment.
The candidate loses. The product fails. And who benefits? Certainly not the company or the candidate that spent the money. They wasted their money.
Winning awards or customers?In truth, there are few benefits to advertisers who trumpet their performance failures as noteworthy success stories. That sort of celebration simply reinforces marketers' belief that ad agencies care about impressing their peers in the creative community, but really don't care whether the spenders obtain a tangible return on their investment.
The critical marketing challenge for a brand or a candidate remains one of relationship building. As with all other marketing initiatives and expenditures, ad campaigns--and ad agencies--must be held accountable for contributing to building brand relationships, not for achieving trivial and inconsequential results.
In this case the product failed. Bob Coleman, the lawyer, lost the election. But if the advertising industry chooses to proclaim that failure exemplifies creativity, then the product, and the client, is certainly not the only loser.

I'm starting to notice a pattern: If it's interesting or good, and it's in New Mexico, it's usually at the end of a dirt road. Whether it's people living on the fringe of society, stunning vineyards or, in this case, fresh pasta, I find myself turning off the pavement to bounce along dusty alleys in search of what's hidden from beaten-path travelers.
In a semirural area of Santa Fe I found Michelangelo Raffaello Leonardo Stanchi laboring over dough in a converted garage. His mouthful of a name came about when three ships—the Michelangelo, the Raffaello and the Leonardo—appeared in the Genoa harbor the day he was baptized. His mother, sensing an omen, quickly added Raffaello and Leonardo to his already chosen name of Michelangelo. She may have been on to something.
Multilingual, artistically inspired and with several trades under his belt, Michelangelo has shown himself to be something of a Renaissance man. His current venture is fresh pasta, gnocchi and sauce. He crafts all three on his own while also educating customers on the virtues of authentic Italian fare.
To make his pastas and sauces, Michelangelo starts with the freshest ingredients he can find, including organic durum semolina wheat and cage-free eggs. His pasta dough is mixed and cut by a machine from Italy that makes short work of pappardelle, tagliatelle, linguini and even ravioli. He uses a separate machine for turning out gnocchi. His sauces are made from scratch on a vintage-looking red stove and canned on-site.
Looking at the ingredient listing on the labels is the first indication that his products are something special. Everything is pronounceable and familiar. No poly-
Michelangelo points to his use of quality ingredients as one reason his pasta is better than store-bought dried pasta. But the biggest difference is the fresh eggs. He explains, "Dried pastas use water while fresh pasta uses eggs. It has more flavor and cooks up nicer."
I did a little taste-testing at home. It took all of 10 minutes for a plate of pappardelle--a wide, ribbon-like pasta--tossed with his "Santa Fe Style" sauce to go from freezer to table. Fresh pastas take only four minutes or so to cook, and the fresh basil in the sauce calls for little heating. Just toss the sauce on hot, drained pasta and enjoy.
The pappardelle was firm and richer than dried pasta. Its texture grabbed onto the sauce so tightly that there was no extra pooling on the plate. A bright tomato-based sauce with basil and green chile—hence the Santa Fe—didn't seem like it was dumped from a jar. It tasted like I had made it from scratch that day. I also tried his basil-tomato sauce. Whole basil leaves adorned the light and sweet sauce, and again its freshness defied expectations.
Now that I've worked up your appetites, you probably want to know where to buy it. You can pick up his Michelangelo-brand pastas, tomato sauces and pestos at La Montañita Co-op or order directly from Michelangelo by visiting theartoffreshpasta.com for products and pricing information. While you're there, ask about his fresh-baked focaccia, made to order.

Sounds like you have some boot tracks on your colon.
Why strange?
If you look at the end of the Soviet Empire, everyone who wasn't on the government gravy train, and many who were, were either actively monkeywrenching the system, or looking the other way when it happened.
That is the likely outcome in the U.S.: Not a shooting war, but an erosion of the ability of the state to keep competent people enforcing intrusive laws and regulations.
IRS employees already inbreed because humans won't touch them. Cops have a distinct culture of casual fraud, drinking, divorce and suicide. Just give a JBT a shove on his way down, and pretty soon, they will have to lower standards to the point that FLEAs will be neutered by ineffictiveness.

To hate massholes is to love Free Staters. It will hit you after you've met a few of us. Give it time.
Bullshit. We aren't the dumb hicks you've taken us for. That's the trait you people share with them. Words to that effect were stated on the original statement of intent on your webpage (which has conveniently been removed) before NH was selected.
Hell, your president is a masshole. The chick with ANARCH or whatever on her license plate? And what the hell was that in Grafton last year with the Filipina mail-order bride pimp?
You're doing more harm to the Libertarians than good by doing this. Just go away, or at the very least stop making fools of yourselves. We've suffered enough by seeing our once-beautiful state get turned into a commuter toilet. Now we have to be the poster child for lawless activism, too?
Maybe, but maybe not as well. Think about that one. Not all of us are "passive" and "simple".
It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; ...
In the modern United States, how are citizens of any color treated? As citizens, or as property?
Kanning went on to say, "I will not show the TSA official my identification. Instead, I'm going to show him this huge chip on my shoulder."
Preach it, brother.....Preach it!
I still object to the government-imposed requirement that tells me that I have to pass through a metal detector if I want to fly on a commercial airplane. I still long for those halcyon days (pre-1972, IIRC) when anyone could wander into an airport waiting area without having to pass through a metal detector.
And, though I am way too youpng to remember it, I think there were days before the Government enslaved all of us by requiring us to wear seat belts during take-off and landings of commercial aircraft. Oh, how I long for those days!

You want people to stretch their limits, but your conversations meant to help them often fall flat or backfire, creating more resistance than growth. Top leadership coach Marcia Reynolds offers a model for using the Discomfort Zone - the moment when the mind is most open to learning - to prompt people to think through problems, see situations more strategically, and transcend their limitations. Drawing on recent discoveries in the neuroscience of learning, Reynolds shows how to ask the kinds of questions that short-circuit the brain's defense mechanisms and habitual thought patterns. Then, instead of being told, people see for themselves the insightful and often profound solutions to what is stopping their progress. The exercises and case studies will help you use discomfort in your conversations to create lasting changes and an enlivened workforce.

During a speech at the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, actress Roma Downey told a story of her childhood in which faith literally saved her life. Before Downey became famous for her role in "Touched by an Angel", she experienced the loss of her mother as a child in Ireland and nearly lost her life trying to honor her mother.
"When I was just 10 years of age my mother died and I remember going to visit her grave when a fierce gun battle broke out in the cemetery, and I narrowly missed being shot," Downey said. "The bullet hole singed the coat I was wearing and missed my head by inches. Surely, I must have had an angel watching over me that day."
Downey and her husband Mark Burnett produced the wildly successful biblical television shows "The Bible" and "A.D." According to the Daily Signal, the couple devoted their lives and careers to creating shows and movies that are family friendly.
"Far more important than the ratings were the stories of families sitting together in their living rooms watching 'The Bible," Downey said. "The stories of how God's love for us unfolded through the ages moved them and engaged them because faith was and is alive and well in America.

Lovely hostel near Chatuchak weekend market Dec 01, 2009
This lovely hostel is located near the weekend market, about 20 minutes walking. I chose this hotel for my last day in BKK just because I wanted to spend the whole Saturday at the market and it would be easier to go to the airport as well on Sunday morning for my flight back to London. As I walked through this neighbourhood I felt I was the only western in the whole Bangkok. It's really nice to get be way of the backpacker centre and feel a little bit of the Bangkokians life. The hostel has a home feeling and despite the bare concrete walls it is very cosy. They serve toast, coffee and tea, and fruits for breakfast. The staff is very helpful and friendly. On the same street of the hostel there's a very good Japanese restaurant. A bit pricey but very good food and they are open until late. It was a good change since I have been eating Thai food for the last 10 days. Also there's a big supermarket about 10min walk from the hostel, "Big C" is where Thais go to for their monthly grocery shopping. The hostel is also about 10min from the Sky Train line.

hmmm...that was a while ago for me (dd's 5)...i think she started out on bananas. I had a girlfriend who made all of her own baby food. She asked me if I had ever tasted it (the stuff in jars); and she is right; it WILL make you gag! If you don't start having better luck maybe you could pull out the blender/food processor & see how he likes it....I bet you could make a lot & freeze some, not to mention save $.....also maybe waiting just a bit longer between feedings to make sure he has a big appetite? Best of luck! Judy
What kind of food are you feeding him. My daughter doesn't like any green veggies and its a struggle for her to eat it, but she loves things like bananas, apple sauce, even guava. Maybe try fruits with him, they are a little better tasting. Also, keep it up, it takes at least 10 to 20 times for a baby to decide if they like something. Good luck.

With World's Biggest Cricket League Indian Premier League (IPL) season 7 in about to start in couple of days, we shall look at five batsmen who had to be watched out as they can be proved out to be dangerous for opposition and also they can be expected to be in the race of Orange Cap.
Top five batsmen to be watched out in the IPL 2014:
5. Kevin Pietersen:
Even been the leading run scorer in international field for his nation Kevin Pietersen has been declared as he will not be considered for selection keeping an eye over the team's future. This announcement from the board had made the South African born English Cricketer disappointing. And that help in to gain a good price at IPL auction brought by Delhi Daredevils using Right to match card. This will be a good opportunity to show his ability and what the selectors will be missing. He will be a bit more responsible player as he will lead the side under the coaching Gary Kirsten. Kevin is normally a good hitter of ball and known for his switch hits and reverse sweeps. He hasn't played much in the IPL as he till now featured in just 21 games in which he scored 634 runs at a good average over 40 and with a strike rate above 140.
4. Virender Sehwag:
One the Dashing Openers India has produced, Sehwag stands top in the list. He is known for going for big shots straight for the moment comes in. After getting ousted from the National Team in 2013 he hasn't show signs of form. But with just one month before the new season of IPL he scored 342 runs in 7 innings at an average of 57. A player like him will be dangerous even out of form, but with been among runs he will be very dangerous in the IPL. Looking at his past IPL record he is the quickest to score 200 runs considering no. of balls faced and also has better strike rate than Chris Gayle. He will be playing for Kings XI Punjab this time after going to them in auctions.
3. AB de Villiers:
AB de Villiers who unorthodox shots perfectly suits the T20 format is undoubtedly one among the bests. He is one of the stylish batsmen who can slog with taking the responsibility of the wicket. He comes around No.4 and No.5 and starts smashing straight away. He one of those batsmen who can take on bowlers like Steyn and counter them. He has a healthy record in IPL with 1662 runs at an average of 35 with a good strike rate of 135. He will represent Royal Challengers Bangalore after the team management decided to retain him before auctions.
2. Rohit Sharma:
