The latest expert opinions, articles, and guides for the Java professional.
JVM Languages Report extended interview with Kotlin creator Andrey Breslav
The very first programming language that we experimented with for the Adventurous Developer's Guide to JVM Languages report was Kotlin, the JVM programming language developed by JetBrains. Kotlin features nice syntactic sugar, strong IDE support and combines the best features from other programming languages. This time we had an honour to interview Andrey Breslav, the Kotlin project lead.
RebelLabs: How do you describe Kotlin?
Andrey: Kotlin is a modern statically typed language compilers to JVM byte codes and JavaScript. The language is backed by JetBrains, creators of IntelliJ IDEA, and distributed under the Apache 2 Open Source license.
We think of Kotlin as a modern language for industry: it is focused on flexible abstractions for code reuse and readability, static type safety for early error detection and explicit capturing of intent for maintainability and clarity.
One of the most important use cases for Kotlin is a big Java codebase whose developers want a better language: you can mix Java and Kotlin freely and migration can be gradual and doesn't have to alter entire codebase.
RebelLabs: How did you come up with the idea of a new programming language for JVM?
Andrey: We have a huge Java codebase developed over a decade, IntelliJ IDEA, and we wanted to switch to a better language without abandoning the code we already have.
After examining existing alternatives, we found that none of them fulfills our requirements (that are rather moderate: smooth integration with the existing infrastructure, efficient tooling possible, good compiler and run-time performance), and as we believe that we are not unique in this sense, we decided to leverage our expertise in programming languages (seven IDEs on the market today, and each one is almost a compiler), and create a language that people need.
RebelLabs: What was the programming language that inspired Kotlin the most?
Andrey: It's hard to name only one. Java, Scala, C#, Groovy were the biggest influencers. We also learned from many others, including Objective-C, Gosu, Spec#, Python, Eiffel and so on.
RebelLabs: Are you excited about the features (lambdas, defender methods) in Java 8?
Andrey: Sure. Java getting better means millions of developers getting happier. Kotlin can make some of them even more happy, but it's another story :)
RebelLabs: What are the features you would like to see in Java.next?
Andrey: Declaration-site variance and some way of storing collections of primitives without so much performance overhead.
RebelLabs: Probably it is too early to talk about adoption since Kotlin haven't reached its 1.0 version yet, but nevertheless: do you think Java 8 (or Java.next) will affect adoption of Kotlin in any way?
Andrey: People who only need "Java with closures" will get it with Java 8 and be happy. But there are other people, who need more than just anonymous functions (that are very important indeed, but the world does not end there).
RebelLabs: Jigsaw was dropped from Java 8… What are the plans for Kotlin in regards to modularity?
Andrey: We find it impractical to tie a language to any runtime modularity mechanism, so we provide compile-time modularity for dependency and visibility management, and that's it until Jigsaw comes out.
RebelLabs: How hard it is to get Java interop working for Kotlin? What are the main challenges?
Andrey: For the user it's very easy: just works out of the box. For us, it's a lot of work. The challenges include using Java classes in a smart way while they lack the necessary type information: nullability, declaration-site variance, mutability of collections and such.
Currently we are working on a tool that performs additional analyses on Java binaries and thus infers more precise type information.
Other challenges concern well-known design mistakes made mostly in Java's early days, like covariant arrays and such.
RebelLabs: If you had an opportunity to design Kotlin from scratch again, what would you do differently?
Andrey: I would think faster and make no mistakes I've made and had to correct later :)
RebelLabs: Some JVM languages seem to have a bit different approach to the "billion dollar mistake" (ie null values). What is the rationale for Kotlin to approach this?
Andrey: Kotlin uses a notion of a "nullable type". References in Kotlin do not admit nulls by default, you have to specify nullability explicitly in the type. You are not allowed to dereference a nullable pointer without an explicit check. This effectively guarantees NPE-free code, unless you do really bad things, e.g. use Java to throw bad data at Kotlin, and even then we blow up early and give reasonable error messages.
RebelLabs: Is there a particular aspect of Kotlin you would like to emphasize?
Andrey: Too many of them! But I'll tell about one here: tackling declarative data with builders. Builders were something only possible in dynamic languages before we Kotlin supported them in a completely type-safe way.
For example, you can write type-safe HTML and CSS in Kotlin and have true reuse of declarative structures (as opposed to rather cumbersome and sometimes limited template languages and LESS/SASS). The Kara web framework is doing a rather good job there. It's under development, but what they have so far is very impressive.
Just google for "Kotlin Builders", you'll like it.
RebelLabs: Programming language design is about compromises. Is there any feature that you had to drop because it didn't fit your constraints or because of JVM limitations?
Andrey: Most notably – reified generics. It turns out that we'd have to completely spoil Java interop to implement them, and considering the relatively little benefit they bring, it's not worth it.
RebelLabs: It looks like that most of the recent JVM languages take advantage of static types. Have statically typed languages win the race?
Andrey: I don't think there can be a winner there. There was a lot of confusion, because old statically typed languages had no/little type inference, so they became too verbose and ugly. Modern statically typed languages look almost as nice as their dynamic rivals, but provide better tooling support and runtime performance.
On the other hand, there's a lot of "dynamic magic" some people like so much, and quite a lot of it is not possible in a statically typed language. That's why many statically typed language introduce "dynamic types" or something similar.
I think eventually everyone finds their niche: dynamic languages for small, short-lived, quickly written projects, static ones for bigger, longer-lived, more effort-demanding ones.
RebelLabs: How do you see the JVM languages landscape in 5 years?
Andrey: Java's market share will be smaller, i.e. in total, other languages will attract more people than today, but it's hard to say who will get what.
RebelLabs: In your opinion, how important is the toolset for the programming language (in respect to Kotlin)?
Andrey: In general it depends on what your project is. If you have many developers working on a long-lived project, the tooling is very important, since you simply have a lot of code to maintain, i.e. browse through and refactor. And Kotlin is targeted at this kind of projects.
RebelLabs: Can you suggest any good reading for the wannabe language designers?
Andrey: Steven Muchnick's "Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation", Benjamin C. Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages", and of course, Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" – it's a very good book and no language designer should miss it.

If you ever want to get someone super paranoid about mobile security, have them watch the Will Smith flick Enemy of the State. While vastly over-the-top at times (hey, it's Hollywood), it makes a good point about mobile phone calls: they're easy to tap, as are text messages. But securing mobile calls just got a bit easier for iOS users, thanks to the new Signal app.
Open Whisper Communications has already brought voice and text encryption to Android, but now you can keep your phone calls private in iOS too. And the best bit? It's free.
Easy, encrypted voice calls
One of the app's advantages is ease of use. No lengthy instructions here: you just enter your phone number, get a confirmation code, have your contact list auto-imported and you're ready to go. The whole point of encryption is foiled if users find it too hard to use in the first place, after all.
How does it work? Signal uses the ZRTP protocol with AES 128 encryption. It should be able to fend off attempts by anyone trying to hack into your call, but you won't be able to tell while using the app whether it's encrypted or not: the tech is kept behind the scenes. To talk to another Signal user, all you need to do is read aloud a pair of words that appear on the screen to authenticate.
And if you're using Signal, you can call users who use the encrypted voice app Redphone – as both apps are made by the same company.
But if the apps are free, then how are their makers making money? Well, as a matter of fact they aren't: the app's development is funded by a combination of government grants and donations to make encrypted voice calls available and affordable for all.
Download it for free from the App Store or go for the RedPhone app (also free) if you're on Android. For free, encrypted texts, the company also makes TextSecure for Android.

Last Thursday, George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, jointly announced a new measure to stimulate economic growth. They also, importantly, did not rule out more quantitative easing.
Mr King prescribed a recipe of subsidised credit, estimated to be worth about £80bn –already known as 'funding for lending'. Technically, it consists of auctions by the Bank of England of loans totalling a minimum of £5bn a month for 6 months at a minimum rate of the Bank Rate plus 25 basis points (currently 0.75 per cent).
They feel this is required because the volume of loans to non-financial companies has been falling since the onset of the crisis: the chart below shows that less money has been loaned than the month before, almost every month, since February 2009.

Convicted ponzi swindler Bernard Madoff has left New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center and is taking up new digs at a federal prison in North Carolina, where he will begin a 150-year sentence that should guarantee that he dies behind bars.
Madoff had been held at the federal jail -- a temporary home to a range of felony suspects from John Gotti to terror detainee Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani -- since a judge revoked his $10 million bail on March 16.
Prisoner Madoff will be held at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex, which is near the so-called Research Triangle of Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill. Rumor had it that Madoff had hoped to be sent to Otisville prison in upstate New York.
Madoff, 71, was sentenced last month to 150 years in jail for carrying out a multi-billion dollar fraud that demolished the life savings and retirement accounts of thousands of people, wiped out charities, slashed the bottom line of domestic and foreign companies, and shook Americans' confidence in the oversight of the U.S. financial system.
Last week, the disgraced financier's lawyer, Ira Sorkin, said he had decided against appealing his 150-year sentence. Sorkin declined to say why the decision was made.
Just a week before, Sorkin had argued for a 12-year sentence, saying his Madoff's expected life span was not that much longer.
At his sentencing, Judge Danny Chin said "the message must be sent that Mr. Madoff's crimes were extraordinarily evil and that this kind of irresponsible manipulation of the system is not merely a bloodless financial crime that takes place just on paper, but it is instead ... one that takes a staggering human toll."
As investigators try to get to the bottom of the massive fraud --- estimated at around $65 billion -- a preliminary $171 billion forfeiture order stripped Madoff of all his personal property, including real estate, investments, and $80 million in assets his wife Ruth had claimed were hers. Ruth was also ejected from the Madoff's swanky Upper East Side penthouse.
Madoff pleaded guilty in March to securities fraud and other charges, saying he was "deeply sorry and ashamed." He insisted that he acted alone, describing a separate wholesale stock-trading firm run by his sons and brother as honest and legitimate.

philipsim needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Logo wanted for an event called Influence Forum - which connects together journalists, analysts, bloggers, etc.
Influence Forum
Desired Color Scheme:
red, blue, grey
Desired Style:
Looking for something to simultaneously convey authority but also energy and cutting-edge
We [MediaConnect] are looking for a logo for an event that we run called Influence Forum. It should site well beside our current logo which can be seen at http://www.mediaconnect.com.au, so we'd probably like to keep close to the colour scheme. The idea of the event is to bring together a whole bunch of influencers - ie journalists, bloggers, analysts, etc. It will be used on a website, on brochures and on signage.
It would be good if its easily adapted to be updated each year for each years event; ie Influence Forum 2007, so can be used as either a date specific or as a stand-alone ie just Influence Forum. We would want the art for both versions.
The Influence word should be the focus of the logo. Forum is incidental and we may well want to spin off other Influence products, so a logo that is adaptable in that sense would be ideal.
We like the idea of keeping the "connect" idea going but be aware there are a lot of very similiar logos, along the lines of our original MediaConnect logo. ie http://www.mediacontacts.com/en/home/
We'll been playing around with a tagline 'Connecting spheres of influence' but we've not settled on it

Busted Explanations for Karate Breaking
John Rennie
Martial arts are my hobby and explaining science is my job, so the recent appearance of "How karate chops break concrete blocks" on io9.com naturally caught my eye. Unfortunately, not only did it fall far short of my hopes of offering a lucid explanation, it parroted misleading statements from an article on exactly this same subject that has been annoying me every time I remembered it for 10 years. (Oh wonderful Web, is there no old error you can't make new again?) Indulge me while I try belatedly to set the record straight. The io9 article starts by asking how the squishy human hands of martial artists can break concrete slabs, wooden boards and other considerably harder objects. Reassuringly, it wastes no time on talk of chi and similar Eastern mysticism but instead goes right to a very loose discussion of the biomechanics of hitting efficiently and striking to vulnerable positions in the target. So far, so good, although the descriptions of what to do are probably too vague to be helpful to readers who don't already know what they're doing.
Then the article seems to go off the rails (emphasis added):
It's also important to strike quickly at the surface of the block. Most blows are part connective smack and part push. This delivers the most damage when fighting flesh, but helps protect concrete or wood. Concrete and wood have a good mix of rigidity and elasticity. The materials will bend, and even flex back like a rubber band would, but the limits of their malleability are much lower. Bending and snapping back can do more damage to them than it can to things that flex easier. By making the blow fast and pulling back, the striker hits the block hardest and allows the material to do the maximum amount of bending. A follow-through push will keep the material from snapping back, and snapping itself.
In my experience, and that of every other martial arts practitioner to whom I've ever spoken about this subject, that's just not right.
When you break a board, or concrete, or a Louisville slugger or anything else routinely used these days in demonstrations of tameshiwari (breaking), you have to follow through on the strike. Indeed, advice commonly given to students learning to break is that they should aim at an imaginary target several inches beyond the actual object, for two reasons. First, doing so helps to make sure that the actual strike occurs closer to the movement's point of peak biomechanical efficiency. Second, it helps to override our natural tendency (partly psychological, partly reflexive) to slow down ballistic movements such as punches and kicks before they reach full extension, which helps to protect the connective tissues around our joints.
This argument is not theoretical for me. I'm not in the same martial arts galaxy as Mas Oyama, and I am anything but a breaking ace. But I have studied karate for 17 years, and during that time I've broken my share of boards, concrete and rocks, and helped out with demonstrations by other karateka executing far more powerful breaks. They all followed through.
The reason this faulty description of breaking jumped out at me is because I had read it 10 years ago in Discover magazine's "The Physics of … Karate," which is one of the two articles that the io9 piece listed as a source. (The other was an entertaining and apparently blameless piece by The Straight Dope.) The Discover piece was if anything even more confused because it implied that boxers' punches could not break boards (believe me, they can) and implied that biomechanical efficiency somehow justified its statement that a karate chop "lashes out like a cobra and then withdraws instantly."
If you'd like more thorough and quantitative explorations of the physics of breaking, you can get them here and here [pdf]. You can also read what are regarded as a couple of classic papers on the subject:
Walker, J. D. "Karate Strikes," American Journal of Physics, Vol. 43, 10, Oct. 1975
Feld, M. S. et. al. "The Physics of Karate," Scientific American, pp. 150-158, April 1979
A surprisingly accurate and informative description of the science behind breaking is also available on this page (with video) for the old Newton's Apple children's science TV show, which states:
One key to understanding brick breaking is a basic principle of motion: The more momentum an object has, the more force it can generate. When it hit the brick, [karateka Ron] McNair's hand had reached a speed of 11 meters per second (24 miles per hour). At this speed, his hand exerted a whopping force of 3,000 Newton's --or 675 pounds--on the concrete. A slab of concrete could likely support the weight of a few people weighing a total of 675 pounds (306 kilograms). But apply that amount of force concentrated into an area as small as a fist and the concrete slab will break.
The io9 article correctly points out that when breaking multiple boards or slabs at once for demonstrations, breakers often put small spacers (wooden pegs, pencils, stacks of coins, etc.) between them at the edges so that they do not sit solidly atop one another. Use of spacers does make breaking a given number of boards much easier (see that Straight Dope article to see how much easier). But then it continues:
Hold a piece of paper by both sides in the air and a knife, applied to the middle, will cut right through it. Put it on a smooth concrete floor, and it will be much, much harder to cut the piece of paper using the same knife.
Like everything else in life, breaking is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending. The paper can't bend, and so it doesn't give. A concrete block works the same way.
Trying to explain breaking by drawing analogies with cutting only confuses matters. And what in the world does "Like everything else in life, breaking is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending" even mean? [Update: Good news, everyone! Allan West in comments points out to me what I should have recognized in the first place: the author is quoting Bender of Futurama. Thanks, Allan; your Planet Express gift certificates are on the way.]
Breaking is filled with practices that, depending on your point of view, are either tricks for fooling observers or techniques for maximizing a strike's visible effect. You don't just strike with the power in your arm or leg: you organize the movement of your strike to bring in as much power from your legs, hips and upper body as possible, too. When breaking wooden boards, you use pine (not oak, not mahogany) that isn't marred by dense knots, cut ¾ inch thick and about 12 inches on the diagonal; you hit them to break along the wood's natural grain. (For some demonstrations, breakers have been known to bake their boards ahead of time to make them more brittle.) One good board, if held securely so that it won't move on impact, is so easy to break that even those with no training at all can be taught to do it in under five minutes.
When breaking concrete, you use slabs that are relatively narrow and long, so that the strike can hit at a distance from the supports at their edges for best leverage. With some multiple breaks—involving, say, big slabs of stacked, spaced ice—you can count on the weight of the falling, broken pieces on top to help break slabs lower in the stack. And so on.
All these practices are ultimately demonstrations of simple physics, not magical chi, but doing them well—particularly the more demanding ones—also takes strength, training and concentration. The value of tameshiwari to martial arts training is much debated; it has little or no practical relevance to fighting or whatever else people study martial arts for. Done wrong, breaking is an amazingly efficient way of messing up your limbs, potentially permanently. I don't do it often and I don't much miss it. But I have seen (and felt firsthand) how much successfully breaking boards can boost a student's confidence, so who knows.
In closing, Matt, the Skeptical Teacher, demonstrated karate breaking at The Amaz!ing Meeting a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas, and even showed that he could teach veteran skeptic Joe Nickell to break in under five minutes to prove the lack of mystical woo involved. Here's a clip of a break he did on the main stage.

Checks Systems For Merchants (SCAN)
SCAN and CHEX Systems are owned by Deluxe Check Printers; this company prints the checks used by consumers for banking purposes. If a retailer wishes to determine the validity of a check, he or she may contact SCAN or run the check through the check scanner to find information on a closed account or whether the consumer has a history of bad checks and credit.
A micro coding on the check indicates whether the consumer has one or more closed accounts or whether a bad credit history or pattern of bad financial practices exists in the consumer's file. (A driver's license is also used to establish the consumer's identity when writing the check.) Negative information is generally kept on file for two years, but if individuals clear their accounts, the information will be removed within 24 hours.

Re: "It didn't have to happen," May 3 news story
Thank you for your front-page article in today's Post, "It Didn't Have to Happen. They had emergency water right there. I would have given him a drink." As an avid appreciator of the outdoors, Certified Safety Professional (CSP), and BOSS Graduate, I believe the issues discussed in this article are important to the public. It is extremely unfortunate that this rare tragedy has befallen both the folks at BOSS and the Buschow family.
While not a professional guide, I have been trained in mountaineering, wilderness medicine, and wilderness survival skills, over many dozens of back-country days from recognized educational institutions throughout the United States over more than a decade. My professional training, education and experience in evaluating potential health hazards in workplaces (such as the potential for heat induced illness) has extended over two decades. While a discourse of all pertinent information related to heat induced illnesses is best covered by experts in that field, I will make two observations.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and others, have observed a wide variation of humans to hot environmental conditions.

My experience at BOSS was a well organized, thoughtful, professional, outstanding addition to my training in wilderness survival. To have operated a survival school over the course of 5 decades before a single student succumbed to the widely documented potential for death from heat induced illness is a credit to the professionalism and safety record of the knowledgeable staff at BOSS.

Q&A with Tony Choi
Related Links
Few first-year players make the type of first impression delivered last fall by UC San Diego Men's Soccer standout Tony Choi. The 5-10 Folsom native was the Tritons' second-leading scorer (4 goals/4 assists) and was selected by conference coaches as the Freshman of the Year in the CCAA. "Tony's got great pace," says UCSD Head Coach Derek Armstrong. "He does finish well, but his real strength is getting past people and delivering the ball into the box." The talented
QŚHow would you describe your game?
CHOIŚOffense. I enjoy running at defenders and taking them on. I have confidence in my game and I don't like to lose so I think that helps me win those 1v1 battles. I also enjoy fast paced, high scoring games. I think they're more exciting for players and fans as well.
QŚWere you surprised at the impact you had as a freshman?
CHOIŚComing in I knew what I could do as a player and that I could offer a lot to the team given the opportunity, but surprisingly I almost didn't even make the team last season. During the first few days of tryouts Derek told me I might not make the squad and through preseason it looked as if I wouldn't play much, but things turned out quite differently and I'm glad I could contribute.
QŚWhat things do you hope to improve on in 2007?
CHOIŚI hope to improve a bit more on my fitness. It's probably what I am lacking the most at the moment.
QŚWhat type of off-season training do you do?
CHOIŚThis summer back home I've been training with my old club team and playing in a few games just to work a bit on my touch and game fitness. I also have been working out and running a bit here and there on my own. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just trying to stay in decent shape.
QŚAfter a solid start, last year's team struggled down the stretchŚwhat happened?
CHOIŚI think we got too overconfident and not everyone was on the same page at times. We definitely had our chances to put teams away but we just couldn't capitalize. Basically, it all came down to that last little bit of effort and we just couldn't find the back of the net.
QŚWhat's your prognosis for the UCSD men's soccer team this fall? What do you feel will be the strength of the team?
CHOIŚI'm really excited and looking forward to this fall. I think we have a decent shot this year. We lost a lot of key players from last season but we still have a lot of talented players. As a team we are all pretty close to each other. We get along really well and as long as we can keep that team chemistry together and on the field and figure out the missing pieces we'll be just fine.
QŚIs there any player on this year's team who has a skill you'd like to have?
CHOIŚEveryone has there little things to offer and I wish I could have all of them. Jon Sawyer does have a pretty crazy shot though.
QŚWhat made you decide to attend UCSD?
CHOIŚI always came to UCSD once or twice a year to play soccer tournaments and I always liked the campus and I want to go to medical school. UCSD has an excellent biology program so I thought it would be a good fit. But, the area and beach is also a definite plus.
QŚOutside of soccer, what surprised you most about UCSD last year?
CHOIŚI was kind of overwhelmed by the number of students and huge classes at first but I got used to it. And the campus was a lot bigger than I had thought. I didn't know I'd have to walk so much to get anywhere.
QŚAre you doing anything interesting this summer?
CHOIŚNot too much. I'm just back home taking two summer school classes to get those Revelle General Ed requirements out of the way. Besides that just relaxing and hanging out with some old friends. And of course I've been training and trying to keep fit for the upcoming season.
QŚWhat are some of your favorite things to do in your spare time?
CHOIŚI like to just relax and hang out with friends. Watch TV, go online, go to the beach and go out at night. Basically anything every other college student does in their spare time. Recently I've been enjoying going to a few Padres games.
QŚWhat do you think about the David Beckham signing by the
CHOIŚBeckham is a great addition to the Galaxy. Already you can see all the attention he is bringing to the MLS and soccer in the

Troy Tulowitzki making his case10/03/2007 10:59 AM ET
Troy Tulowitzki put an exclamation point on his candidacy for National League top rookie honors by going 4-for-7 with an RBI and three runs scored in the Rockies' Wild Card-deciding win over the Padres.
The Rockies' precocious shortstop had a single, two doubles and a triple, with his second double coming in the bottom of the 13th inning to pull the Rockies to within a run. Then he scored the tying run on Matt Holliday's triple. Holliday scored the game-winning run on Jamey Carroll's sacrifice fly.
"We fought hard all year," Tulowitzki, the Rockies' first- round Draft pick in 2005, told the Rocky Mountain News. "Finally, to have this happen, all the hard work pays off. I can't explain it. This is a dream come true for my rookie year.
"Some of these guys have been going at it a long time, and I made the playoffs in my first year. What an experience."
Tulowitzki, a tall shortstop in the mold of Cal Ripken Jr., Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, had an outstanding rookie season, driving in 99 runs, hitting 24 home runs and scoring 104 runs. He fell one RBI short of becoming the first NL rookie shortstop to collect 100 RBIs and 100 runs in more than 30 years.
He also broke many of the club rookie records previously held by Todd Helton. Some of those records were games played (155), hits (177), runs, most at-bats (609) and RBIs. His 24 homers were one short of tying the club record of 25 held by Helton.
Defensively, Tulowitzki led NL shortstops in assists (561), putouts (262) and double plays (114), and led Major League shortstops with a .987 fielding average.
Tulowitzki, of course, had more important things with which to concern himself as the Rockies prepared for their first postseason since they lost a 1995 Division Series against the Braves.
"I couldn't ask for anything more," said Tulowitzki, who turns 23 next week. "I'm playing on a great team with a bunch of young guys. We all get along great, we're great friends, and we go out there and play hard."
Cirillo, Helton end postseason droughts: The streak is over for Jeff Cirillo. The veteran infielder played 1,617 games without ever playing in the postseason, the longest active streak in the Majors. That streak will end Wednesday when the Diamondbacks face the Cubs in Game 1 of the NLDS.
"Even though I had to piggy-back to get there, it's still nice to do it," Cirillo told the East Valley Tribune. "I couldn't be happier here. These kids ... they don't know."
Arizona claimed Cirillo off waivers from Minnesota on Aug. 3. His overall average for Arizona was .200 but he hit .271 against left-handed pitchers this season. Cirillo signed with the Twins this past offseason, but he must have had second thoughts about the move after Milwaukee raced out to a big division lead earlier this year.
"I just figured I made the wrong choice. I kind of regretted the decision," said Cirillo, who left Milwaukee for Minnesota when Brewers officials told him he would be strictly a pinch-hitter if he returned. "That's my role here, but it's easier to do for six weeks in a season than six months."
Todd Helton also had his postseason drought end Monday when the Rockies earned a spot in the postseason. Helton had played in 1,577 games without appearing in a playoff game. Damion Easley of the New York Mets (1,593) now has the longest active streak without a playoff game.
Dempster could do without Bartman chatter: Ryan Dempster is looking forward to joining his teammates in their quest for the 2008 World Championship. What he's not looking forward to, though, is listening to all of the same old things about the curse of his team.
"They'll be looking for something, or waiting to try and find something, like if a feather flies across the field, they'll drop down and be like 'Bartman,' " Dempster told the Chicago Tribune. "I swear, it's more fun to write about it and talk about that kind of stuff on TV or the radio than it is if we actually won. If we win, it's like, 'Wow, now what are we going to talk about?' "
Last month in a game at Dolphin Stadium against the Marlins, a rainbow appeared and some in the press box chattered about the possibility that the rainbow could be a good omen for the Cubs. Then the team was swept by the Marlins.
"Oh, we went ahead and clinched and ruined everybody's rainbow thoughts," Dempster said.
Now, though, Dempster and the rest of the Cubs are used to that kind of talk and they don't let it bother them.
"For me, none of that stuff matters," he said. "I mean, we know about it all. If we just go out there and do our thing and take care of business, then you can write about 'the lucky rainbow.' If it wasn't for that rainbow, who knows what would've happened? We finally found that pot of gold."
No sweets good to the core for Rollins: Jimmy Rollins likes ice cream -- plain and simple. But heading into the 2007 season, Rollins made a commitment to cut back on the sweets and to work out more -- and subsequently built himself a gym in his own home. With a girlfriend who's a personal trainer, Rollins no longer has any reason not to work out.
"I can't even make up a legitimate excuse not to work out, with a gym less than 100 feet away from my bedroom," Rollins told the Philadelphia Daily News. "I don't even have to get dressed if I don't want to."
And the ice cream had to go, too -- along with other things.
"It was hard. Between ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, man," Rollins said.
This year, Rollins kept his weight around 170 -- down from 175 or 180 in other seasons.
"In the past, I was stronger overall, but when it came to baseball, I was slow running, my body was slow and my quick muscles couldn't turn on balls like they could earlier in the season," Rollins recalled. "Now it's late in the season and I'm down to 170, 169, and all of a sudden, that whip comes back, and that's where I need to be strong at. Right there in the core, which sometimes is an area that gets overlooked, but is probably one of the most important parts on your body, as far as a good hitter goes."
Martinez brings the whole package: Cleveland Indians catcher Victory Martinez is known in many circles as an offensive-minded catcher. He did, after all, have his best offensive season in 2007 with a .301 batting average, 25 home runs and 114 RBIs. But, he says, there is more to his game that just his bat.
"I'm really happy with the job I have done behind the plate," Martinez told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It's a challenge to me. After last year, with all the trouble throwing to the bases, I really worked hard in offseason and the work is really paying off."
Closer Joe Borowski thinks that those that categorize Martinez as strictly an offense-only player are off the mark.
"Everything you've heard about his defense being below par, I haven't seen it," Borowski said. "You have no doubts going in there that he has a plan of attack for each hitter. He makes it comfortable for you."
Casey bids farewell to Tigers: Sean Casey, formerly known as "the Mayor" in Cincinnati before moving on to the Detroit Tigers, is once again looking for work. The Tigers plan to move Carlos Guillen to first base next year, bringing an end to the season-plus that Casey spent in Detroit.
"I talked to both Jim (Leyland) and Dave (Dombrowski)," Casey told the Detroit News. "They let me know. I've had a great time with this team, the greatest year and a half of my career. It was great. But I understand the situation."
In his final at-bat as a member of the Tigers, Casey got a hit and later said it was the "perfect day."
"I loved it, being able to walk off like that to all the hugs," he said. "I definitely didn't want an 0-fer on the last day."
Casey accepts that he now must seek work elsewhere, but will definitely miss his time with Detroit.
"I'll miss this a lot," said Casey, who hit .296 this season and .281 in his career with the Tigers. "I've played with a great bunch of guys, Detroit is a great city, and I had a great relationship with the fans. I'll really miss the fans. It's been an awesome experience."
Keeping Myers interests Chicago's Cooper: Mike Myers, who had a rough final few weeks that resulted in a climbing ERA, appears to still be in the plans of the 2008 White Sox.
"I'm not looking at ERA," pitching coach Don Cooper told the Chicago Tribune. "Every club would like to have three lefties in the bullpen. We have that ability to have three lefties every day, at least two, especially in our division where we have a lot of good-hitting lefties and guys who switch-hit."
His efforts against left-handed hitters make him a valuable commodity, added Cooper.
"He has done very well in the past against lefties, except for earlier this season," he said. "There are a couple of little things helping him. His savvy is experience. He's a very interesting guy to me."
With a team option for 2008, Myers cannot yet be sure if or where he will suit up for a 13th Major League season. If it were up to Cooper, though, it certainly sounds like he'd be back on the south side of Chicago.
"I also like the veteran presence he can bring," Cooper said. "We had a bunch of younger guys out there. [But] we're not looking [just] for presence, or a guy who is good in the clubhouse. We're looking for guys who can help us get guys out, and then if they bring those things in the clubhouse, it helps."
Wickman faces pair of good decisions: Arizona reliever Bob Wickman may have played his final game of his career Sunday, a career that has seen him rack up 267 saves. Wickman faced one batter Sunday and retired him on a comebacker to the mound.
"This gives me a chance to walk off on my own terms if I do walk off," he told the East Valley Tribune. "I got the last out that I faced and ended up being pretty successful. Hopefully, I helped this ball club and took some pressure off some of the guys. All I wanted was a chance to pitch, and to show to myself that I still could pitch."
Wickman wasn't sure how his career would end after being waived by Atlanta. But Arizona signed the veteran reliever and in eight appearances for the Diamondbacks he had a 1.35 ERA. Wickman, however, is not eligible to compete in the playoffs because he was not with Arizona by the Aug. 31 deadline.
"I thank (manager) Bob Melvin and the whole Diamondbacks organization for giving me an opportunity," Wickman said.
Wickman may now take the opportunity to spend more time with his wife and three children, who are ages 10, 8 and 4.
"I'm 38. I've got a wonderful wife and three wonderful kids that I want to be able to throw 'bp' (batting practice) to," he said. "It's getting to the point right now where maybe it's about time to get settled and let them meet some friends that they are going to have every day. Whatever decision it is going to be, it is going to be a good one. If I don't play, I'm going to be happier than heck being with my family every single day. If I do play, I'm going to be happy doing the thing I love to do."
Mets' Maine bothered by hip: There may be a reason New York Mets pitcher John Maine struggled in the second half of the season, when he was 5-6 with a 5.53 ERA in 15 starts. Maine said his hip has been sore since the All-Star break and was at Shea Stadium Monday picking up MRI film of his left hip.
"It bothered me all year," Maine told Newsday.
Maine will have the hip further examined in Philadelphia, but he seemed in top form on Saturday against Florida, striking out 14 and carrying a no-hit bid into the eighth inning.
Maine's effort kept the Mets' playoff hopes alive, only to see them dashed on Sunday after losing to the Marlins and watching the Phillies defeat Washington.
"It still doesn't feel like the season is over," Maine said. "I don't think (the fans are) as disappointed as we are."
Burke starts collection: Mariners backup catcher Jamie Burke is adding a room to the house he built last year that will house his memorabilia. On the final day of the season, Burke hit his first Major League home run and that ball will certainly find its way in the new room.
"I've got a lot of new memorabilia from this season, that's for sure," Burke told the Seattle Times. "I'll probably go home, buy some shelves and put them up on those."
Burke hit .301 for the Mariners this season but has no guarantee of a job next year. He speculated the Mariners would remove him from the 40-man roster and invite him to camp to compete for his job.
"I expect the worst all the time," Burke said. "That's just the way I am. I just prepare myself."

It's a huge topic. I'd suggest starting with Andrew Lang's Fairy Books - (I'd post a Wikipedia link, but the site won't let me) - they're old, but when I was a kid (I was born in the 60s) they were still around and people read them in newer printings. There's also Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen; again it's old, but it's still read.
But do you specifically mean English (as in the country on the same island as Scotland and Wales) fairy tales, or tales in the English language?
Something else to think about is that sometimes people talk about fairy tales when they really just mean children's books. What sorts of things are you going to translate, and how old is the target audience?

INDIANAPOLIS – Each week, the NCAA announces its Players of the Week for football and Monday the organization honored Salisbury University sophomore linebacker Steven Gamble as the Division III Defensive Player of the Week.
Gamble led Salisbury to 28-17 win against then-No. 8 St. John Fisher College. The Rockville, Md., native posted a career-high 14 tackles to go with 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Gamble's biggest play came midway through the fourth quarter of the contest, with the Sea Gulls trailing 17-14. On the first play of the Cardinals' drive, Gamble took down quarterback Tyler Fenti for a 3-yard loss and forced a fumble, which Gamble recovered, setting up the Gulls at the Fisher 6-yard line. Two plays later, Salisbury put the ball in the end zone for the go-ahead score in the top-10 battle.
Gamble and the Gulls will return to action this Saturday, Oct. 13, when they host Hartwick College for an Empire 8 Athletic Conference contest, which will begin at 1 p.m.
University of Wisconsin-Platteville quarterback Bryce Corrigan was named the NCAA Division III Offensive Player of the Week, while Northwestern (Minn.) College's Brian Lecheler was named the Special Teams Player of the Week. For more information on the Division III Players of the Week, click here.

The 2010 U.S. Directors' Compensation and Board Practices Report analyzes findings from a survey of 279 corporate secretaries administered by The Conference Board in May and June 2010. Unlike the last three editions of this report, compensation data is based solely on responses to The Conference Board survey as opposed to a larger sample of proxy filings. In this edition, companies are categorized according to three large business sectors (with the 22 industries of prior editions now aggregated into manufacturing, financial services and non-financial services), five revenue groups (for manufacturing and other services), and four asset value groups (for financial companies). This edition of the survey was conducted in collaboration with the Deloitte Center for Corporate Governance and the Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals.

Don't Delay; check Out These New Fiction Titles!
I have been dragging my heels, with a serious case of writer's block keeping me from starting this article. As I read back that first sentence, it occurs to me to wonder how in the world I could be dragging my heels when I'm actually sitting down.
Looking up "dragging one's heels," I discover that it's an "idiom," and have found the definition. Sure enough, it applies, because according to "AudioEnglish.net," it means, 'to postpone doing what one should be doing,' and also offers other related terms; "dilly dally," "stall," and "shilly shally." To further prove to my readers that I'm really not dilly dallying, I'm going to do my best to fulfill a Dutch proverb that I just learned, and that is "A good start is half the job done." That means that with no further procrastination on my part, I'm going to give you some great ideas for reading material that will keep you from dilly dallying from visiting your local branch of JCPL. I always keep my promises, so here are some great, new fiction titles to help you ring in the New Year!
We'll begin with a question; would you stay in a haunted house for a whole night or more, where ghostly things, like cellar doors opening on their own and hushed whimpering, take place? "The Secret of Crickley Hall" by James Herbert visits the "other side" as the Caleigh's, with reasons of their own, decide to stay in the house, known to be haunted. Page after suspenseful page, the terror mounts and the nightmare is in full swing, and the Caleigh's realize that not only is their sanity at risk, but their very lives, as well, all because of the secret of Crickley Hall.
Maddie McGlade, now in her nineties, receives a letter. This correspondence, written by the last of the former nanny's charges, is the unburdening of a secret; a secret that had been hidden for over seventy years. Set in Northern Ireland, the story unfolds as Maddie tells the tragic story of Charlotte Ormond's death, a little girl whose mother is tried, convicted and condemned to prison in "The Butterfly Cabinet" by Bernie McGill.
Rules abound for the wolves of Wide River Valley. Young Kaala of the Swift River Pack has broken the rules, and the consequences of her actions lay hidden beneath the rules of the pack. Will she be able to find a way for the humans of the Wide Valley and the wolves to live in harmony? Kaala must find a way to redeem herself with her pack and prove herself worthy of her pack before the Greatwolves take over, destroying every wolf and human in the valley in "The Secrets of Wolves" the second installment of The Wolf Chronicles by Dorothy Hearst.
The year is 1944, and Grace Anderson, Lena Maki and Lena's mother, Violet, are working for the war effort. The anxieties of wartime, however, are ever present, and their fears for the men that they love are very real. When tragedy strikes, the result is turmoil in the lives of these women, and they know beyond the shadow of a doubt that their lives will never be the same. Five decades pass, and Violet's great-granddaughter returns to the small farmhouse, uncovering one dark secret after another, finally finding unexpected redemption from the tragedy of her own life in "I Gave My Heart to Know This" by Ellen Baker.
Orphaned and lonely, Agnes White breaks through the barriers of her day and pursues her unladylike interest in science, becoming one of the world's most celebrated women doctors of her time. Inspired by her father, who was imprisoned for murder and later acquitted, Agnes is on a mission to find him, pursuing clues in her quest, learning along the way that even a world-renowned expert in the physical workings of the heart is not versed in the feelings stored in the human heart in "The Heart Specialist" by Claire Holden Rothman.
To dilly dally is to delay, waste time, diddle daddle, fritter away and get no place fast. Other phrases include trifle, toddle, or "warm a chair." Now you're talking! "Warm a chair" is right along the lines of what I have in mind, but the best way to keep that chair warm is with a book in your hand, so don't dilly dally, get straight to your local branch of JCPL and THEN warm that chair!

'It takes the best bits from the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6, and blends them together into a quite brilliant smartphone. '
'Not much has really changed from the outgoing S6, but this still holds up as the best screen on a smartphone. '
'fantastic phone'
'Though we prefer the Galaxy S7 Edge because of its larger screen and battery, the standard S7 is an absolutely fantastic phone. '
'It really is something special.'
'Very compact for a 5.5-incher. '
'Great feel.'
'Stunning design.'
'excellent smartphone'
'I never thought I'd write this about any phone, but the LG G5 just feels a bit desperate.'
'The display can get extremely bright.'
'Great wide-angle camera'
'The Nexus 5X is a great smartphone that showcases the best of what Android Marshmallow has to offer. '
'Overall the Nexus 5X is great in some areas, lacklustre in others.'
'Pure Android, Decent specs for the price, USB Type C, Excellent fingerprint scanner.'
'Those looking to upgrade from a Nexus 4 or 5 should be quite happy with this new model.'
'But does all that on-board tech translate to a great smartphone camera' Of course it does. '
'Samsung's Galaxy Note series has never been for everyone, but the Note 5 just might change some minds.'
'With its slick, Galaxy S6-like body and brand-new S Pen, the Galaxy Note 5 is Samsung's best Note yet.'
'And it succeeded: the Note 5 is probably the most consumer-friendly Note ever. '
'The S6 Edge+ is good, but not a great standalone phablet.'
'It's a gorgeous phone with some of the finest hardware available right now, but its key feature is relatively useless, and still somewhat experimental. . '
'top-tier specs'
'For my money, it's the best Android phone on the market right now: the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. '
'The S6's lead over other Android-powered devices is really significant, and I see this as a potential problem for Qualcomm and its customers.'
'The Galaxy S6 is one of the sexiest Android smartphones I've ever used. '
'The Samsung Galaxy S6 is the best Samsung smartphone ever made. '
'Buy it for its looks, not because it's any more functional.'
'its 6800K color temperature is very close to achieving that ideal 6500K reference value.'
'first smartphones'
'It's a beautiful smartphone, with the eye-catching Deep Garnet model being particularly gorgeous. '
'Bottom line: the A9 is a pretty phone, but in a deeply superficial way. '
'The LG G4 is the follow-up to 2014's TrustedReviews Phone of the Year, the LG G3 and as such has a great deal to live up to.'
'The LG G4 isn't just a decent update to an already very good phone, it is now vastly improved with vastly superior imaging capabilities, improved battery performance and a beautifully refined display, which illustrates profoundly just why QHD, power hog that it is, is very much here to stay in flagship Android handsets. '
'The LG G4 is an interesting smartphone that ticks many of the right boxes.'
'From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3. '
'Otherwise, this is the best Android-powered phone on the market, just in a slightly different shape. '
'This is the best phone you can buy right now. '
'It's the best looking, most radical phone of the year. '
'This phone is gorgeous, powerful and has no major flaws.'
