There are many things I love about my husband Juan. He is funny, loving, kind, and generous. We have been together for 10 years and have experienced quite a lot together. I feel like we know and understand each other as only soul mates can. Still, there are a couple of things about my husband that continue to surprise and amuse me. The first thing is Juan's obsession with the rock band KISS. It's quite shocking really, how much he knows about the band, how much he enjoys their music and what a big fan he is. Last year, Juan took the kids to see KISS in concert dressed up like this:
In fact, there is so much good material about Juan and KISS that it will make up a whole other blog post.
The second thing about Juan that still surprises me is his love of tech gadgets. When I first met Juan, and I learned about his love of gadgets I found it charming. Like any person in new love, I thought the fact that he wore his cell phone and CD-sized MP-3 player on his belt loop was quirky but endearing. In the early days of our courtship Juan shunned the iPod. He is a true music lover and therefore thought the Nomad MP-3 player was the superior product. He would carry a large, round MP-3 player, which he wore like an extra appendage, on his belt loop around his waist.
When Apple released a new iPod with greater memory Juan succumbed to the sexy, slimmer, rectangular gadget in white, and dumped the Nomad. It was his new obsession. With each new iPod version Juan upgraded. Juan's gadget loves became slimmer, smaller, more colorful. But at least they were smarter, because they had more memory. I consoled myself with each new purchase because he managed to sell or upgrade his old models with little expense. But of course his "hobby" of organizing and reorganizing his music playlists and purchasing music also managed to preoccupy him. His habit of walking around the house listening to his iPod with headphones on began to grate on me. It was especially irritating when I would be halfway through a discussion before I realized he was listening to KISS with his headphones on, and I was having a conversation with myself. I complained that he couldn't hear me or the kids,so he took to wearing his headphones throughout the house with only one side in his ear. Marriage involves compromise.
And then Apple launched the iPhone. Juan was hooked. He dumped that iPod like a bad habit. I saw the same pattern repeat itself with each new version of the iPhone. A younger, slimmer model launched and he was there with all the other Fanboys, waiting to purchase one. On the day the iPhone 3 launched he took the day off and waited at home for it to be delivered. I had the day off from work too and I sweated it out at Disneyland with Nico and Diego. In the middle of my day waiting in line for Thunder Mountain, I received this text message and picture of my husband gleefully welcoming his new gadget:
Now the iPhone is a part of our life. We wake up in the morning to the iPhone as an alarm. Juan rises and takes it with him to the kitchen while he gets his morning coffee. He returns and heads to the bathroom with the morning news blaring from his I Heart Radio App. He checks weather on it before he dresses for work, making sure to inform me of the day's forecast. We have a No-Electronics–at-the-Table-Rule during meals, except for breakfast, when Juan eats his morning cereal while reading the iPhone's bookmarked news blogs for the day's headlines. Before Juan is out the door he has checked his traffic app and let's me know what's ahead on the freeways. The iPhone is with us all the time. So, Ieven though this video isn't promoting the iPhone, I still found it so true it was only half-funny:
Really? Yes. Just like Juan and his iPhone. But guess what? Not long ago Apple launched a new technology. Granted it was much larger, and couldn't possibly be worn around the waist. But it had had more memory and it was an even better multi-tasker than the iPhone. It is the IPad. Juan was hooked and as much as he tried to resist, he succumbed. Although to be fair, I was an enabler. We bought it as an anniversary/Father's Day present. It is now a part of our lives. Really. The Ayyyye Pad.

(CNN) -- Nothing makes a workout go by faster than the perfect playlist. Studies show listening to music while exercising can boost your spirits, distract you from feelings of fatigue and increase your workout intensity.
"Music is like a legal drug for athletes," exercise and music expert Costas Karageorghis told the American Council on Exercise. "It can reduce the perception of effort significantly and increase endurance by as much as 15%."
Spotify users must like the high; they've created more than 2.8 million "workout" playlists on the music streaming service.
But after a while, even your favorite tunes can be overplayed. Spotify has released the top tracks that got gym goers moving between January 1 and 13. Steal some to keep your time on the treadmill upbeat. Mobile users can access the playlist here.
(Warning: Some of the songs may contain explicit content.)
Or, if you'd like something a little more personal, check out the songs that led to first lady Michelle Obama's impressive guns.
Or go pro, by listening to the same music that fitness trainer Jackie Warner uses to pump up her workouts.
British pop star Ellie Goulding also shared her "Music to Run to" motivational playlist with Spotify. She told the company, "Music and working out go hand in hand. The beat of a song or the perfect playlist can always carry you through a tough workout."
What tracks keep you moving in the gym? Share your favorites in the comments below.

Red Flags Rule Program
Identity Theft Prevention at the University
In accordance with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) of 2003 and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) "Red Flags Rule" of 2007, the University has established a comprehensive, coordinated, and university-wide approach for facilitating the detection, prevention, and mitigation of identity theft.
Your University business unit or department should participate in the program if:
- You provide goods or services and payment can be deferred to an account established with the University. For instance, students are allowed to purchase goods by presenting their student I.D. and have those charges posted to their student account.
- You have management and/or oversight responsibility for established accounts.
- You provide loans to students or other customer groups.
If you aren't certain whether your unit's activity is subject to the Red Flag Rule after reviewing this website please email us at email@example.com. The Assistant Vice President for Finance and University Comptroller can help to determine whether these rules apply to you.
Questions about the University of Virginia's Red Flag Rule Program? Contact us at: email@example.com.

Orange goes green for festival phone-fuelling
Wind-powered charger prototyped
Eco-warriors planning to head down to the Glastonbury mud festival - sorry, music festival - later this month will be able to re-charge their mobile phones in an almost entirely carbon-neutral fashion.
Orange's wind-powered phone charger:
UK climate friendly
Orange today launched a prototype wind-powered charger capable of delivering a constant supply of green juice despite "the unpredictable English climate". How? The turbine charges a battery, and it's from that power pack that the phone's own battery is charged.
It is, of course, a variation of one on humanity's oldest devices, the windmill, though this time kitted out in suitable, sponsor-friendly colour. The windmil weighs a mere 150g - let's hope it's capable of being anchored against strong gusts - and is compact enough to be tucked into a rucksack.
Orange's wind-powered phone charger:
sorted out for Es and... er... whizz
The idea is you plant your windmill then go off and down to the groove - and probably high on something else. On retiring for the night, you plug in your run-down mobile which is ready to party again the following morning.

Florida beaches moving up on Dr. Beach best beaches in the U.S. list
Richard Tribou
, Orlando Sentinel
May 29, 2012
Florida has landed the No. 1 beach in the U.S. seven times, but not in 2012. This year's crown goes to Coronado Beach in San Diego, California, but that doesn't mean Florida still isn't the place to be for the finest stretches of sand. The Sunshine State nabbed two of the Top 10 spots for 2012 with St. George Island State Park near Apalachicola at No. 4 and Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne at No. 8 Both beaches moved up two spots from the 2011 list. Of course, the thing about the list is once you win, you're no longer eligible for the list.

Toll violations in Central Florida: Expect to pay up sooner
By Dan Tracy, ORLANDO SENTINEL
August 26, 2010
Motorists in Metro Orlando who do not pay their tolls face much smaller penalties than they used to, but they are about to get the bill sooner, too. The Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority decided Wednesday that it will send out notices to violators after two unpaid tolls per month, rather than three, which was the old standard. The change, which takes effect Sept. 1, could bring in an additional $725,000 annually to the agency, which owns and operates 105 miles of toll roads in Orange.
Foster adoptions flourish as Florida makes them a priority
By Kate Santich, Sentinel Staff Writer
August 7, 2009
At age 17, Amber Holley knew that the odds of being adopted were grim. After 11 years in Florida's foster-care system, living mostly in group homes, she had started telling people she just wanted to be left alone -- even if she didn't really mean it. But three months ago, after being won over by a compassionate caseworker, Amber became one of a record 3,774 foster kids in the state to be adopted during the past fiscal year. Many of them were considered difficult to place because of their age or because they are part of a group of siblings.
Coastal towns picture perfect on the Florida Panhandle

June 24, 2011
It has been 15 years since Seaside, a meticulously manicured town on Florida 's Panhandle, staked its claim to fame as the setting for "The Truman Show. " In that 1998 film, actor Jim Carrey played the unknowing "star" of a global TV show set in a town that also doubled as a production set. Although the film crews for that project have long departed, there's still an undeniable movie-set feel to Seaside, the central point in a scenic 20-mile stretch of County Road 30A along the Gulf of Mexico.

About Tom
The beauty of collecting exabytes of data about average citizens "just in case" is that if you, for whatever reason, decide to get into politics, public life, legal trouble or any other situation that suddenly makes details about your life valuable, there they are. It allows for amazingly accurate retroactive targeting to eliminate enemies. Maybe you think your government today has good intentions, but will you think the same in 20 years? If not, how do you get your personal information back?
Many of the big tech companies backing the bill have been sold on it as it is a legal "get out of jail free" card for any and all abuses of personal information that might otherwise be actionable.
I would be surprised if there was even one general counsel at any tech company likely to be affected by CISPA recommending against the bill.
If they wanted to release a new game that substantially deviated from the form and function of previous editions, they should have given it a different name. By continuing to use the "SimCity" brand, they not only succeeded in driving big $ in presales, but also jacking up player expectations. Further, the tightening of the DRM screws, ignoring quality and playability for moment, made what you get for the big $ worth something less since they effectively destroyed any resale potential the game had. Take that, consumer.
I hate ironing, so I take my shirts to the dry cleaners.
Here are some ideas that might help EA:
- Recognize playability and quality impacts the amount of both paid purchases and piracy for any game, but high quality causes paid purchases to increase at a faster rate.
- Diminishing the playability and quality of your products in an attempt to reduce piracy usually results in a more dramatic impact on paid purchases.
- DRM doesn't cause potential players to switch from being pirates to being paid purchasers.
- Paying customers recognize and resent you for taking away important playability characteristics from the games they enjoy and will think twice before purchasing additional titles from you in the future.
- An important segment of the buying public (i.e. the educated ones) recognize that you are placing more focus on manipulating market behaviors instead of building quality, playable games. The rest just think you are incompetent crooks who took their $60.
RIAA will claim ownership by default as the artists' advocate.
The really idiotic part of this is that the way it is written, anyone for any reason can install a rootkit and start collecting unspecified data. Sure, there is the BS about "suspicion", but that's a pretty low bar.
The unwritten part is that the only ones permitted to do this legally will be the content monopolies and, of course, the government(s).
Assuming this sees the light of day, I can't wait for clever citizens to figure out how to intercept, isolate and decrypt the data being collected and start publishing the embarrassing habits of government officials and industry executives.

MEI Pharma to Present at BioCentury's NewsMakers in the Biotech Industry Conference
Live Webcast from New York on Friday, September 27
Sep 17, 2013
San Diego – MEI Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEIP), an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapies for cancer, announced today that Daniel P. Gold, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, will present at BioCentury's NewsMakers in the Biotech Industry conference on Friday, September 27, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time from the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York. A live webcast of the presentation can be accessed at www.meipharma.com/investor. A replay will be available approximately one hour after the presentation.
About MEI Pharma
MEI Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEIP) is a San Diego-based oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapies for cancer. The Company's lead drug candidate is Pracinostat, a potential best-in-class, oral HDAC inhibitor being developed for advanced hematologic diseases, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The Company initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase II trial of Pracinostat in combination with Vidaza (azacitidine) in patients with previously untreated MDS in June 2013. An open-label Phase II trial of Pracinostat in combination with Vidaza in elderly patients with AML who are unsuitable for induction therapy is expected to initiate in the fall of 2013. In addition, MEI Pharma is developing two drug candidates derived from its isoflavone-based technology platform, ME-143 and ME-344. Results from a first-in-human Phase I trial of ME-344 in patients with solid refractory tumors are anticipated in October 2013. In September 2013, the Company further expanded its pipeline of drug candidates with the acquisition of PWT143, a highly selective PI3-kinase delta inhibitor.

You may think high blood pressure is a health burden only for adults. But it can strike children, too, especially if they are overweight or obese. Unfortunately, the condition may not always be recognized or treated in the young, a recent study found. If you are a parent, you can take steps to protect your child from this health problem.
Does your child have high blood pressure?
High blood pressure—or hypertension—typically has no symptoms. So testing is often the only way to detect it. In adults, a healthy blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mmHg. But in children, that healthy level can be much lower. And it can vary a lot, depending on a child's age, sex, and height. For instance, an older boy will tend to have higher normal levels than compared with a younger girl.
That difference may make it hard to diagnose high blood pressure in children. In the journal Pediatrics, researchers looked at this problem. They analyzed the health records of nearly 400,000 children ages 3 to 18. Around 12,000 children had higher than normal blood pressure levels. But only about 1 in 5 of them were diagnosed with high blood pressure, based on current screening guidelines.
From their analysis, researchers also found that an additional 38,000 children had prehypertension. That means their levels were slightly above normal, putting them at high risk for high blood pressure. But only 1 in 10 were actually diagnosed with prehypertension. Those most likely to be diagnosed and treated for problems with their blood pressure were older male children and those who were overweight or obese. Healthcare providers may more easily recognize high blood pressure in these groups.
What parents can do
Experts such as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that children be regularly screened for high blood pressure. If 3 or more of those readings are above what's considered normal for your child, he or she may need more testing. Lifestyle changes may be all that's needed to lower your child's blood pressure. But treatment can include medicine, too.
High blood pressure can put your child at risk for many health problems in the future. These include kidney disease and heart disease. Fortunately, you can do a lot to help keep your child's blood pressure in a normal range. Here's how:
Watch your child's weight. More and more children are developing high blood pressure. The main culprit is childhood obesity. Carrying too much weight can raise blood pressure levels.
Cut back on salt (sodium). Packaged or processed foods tend to be high in salt. Limit how much your child has of these top sodium sources: breads, cheeses, deli meats, pizza, chips, crackers, and soups. Checking the Nutrition Facts Label can help you spot foods with too much sodium.
Cook more meals at home. You can then better control how much salt and fat are in the foods your family eats. Focus on healthy fare, such as lean meats, low-fat dairy, and lots of fruits and vegetables.
Get your child moving. Plenty of physical activity will help your child lose weight or stay at a healthy weight.

wednesDAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
A-Rod, Yankees at odds: After a Yankees team doctor diagnosed third baseman Alex Rodriguez with a strained left quadriceps on the final day of his injury rehabilitation assignment Sunday, Rodriguez asked another doctor for a second opinion. Dr. Michael Gross said during an interview on WFAN radio Wednesday that he examined Rodriguez's MRI scan earlier in the day, saying, "To be perfectly honest, I don't see any sort of injury there."
Gross never personally examined Rodriguez. ESPN.com reported that Rodriguez's representatives began supplying details to the media to support Rodriguez's belief that the Yankees and Major League Baseball are conspiring to keep him off the field as he faces a ban from MLB for alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Rodriguez is one of more than a dozen players under investigation by MLB for alleged ties to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.
The Associated Press reported later Wednesday that Gross was reprimanded this year by New Jersey's board of medical examiners over steroid prescriptions.
Rangers 3, Yankees 1: Matt Garza pitched into the eighth inning of his Texas debut, and A.J. Pierzynski and David Murphy homered to power the Rangers.
Dodgers 8, Blue Jays 3: Mark Ellis hit a two-run homer in a five-run 10th inning, and Yasiel Puig also homered as Los Angeles won its sixth straight.
Mariners: Manager Eric Wedge sustained what the club called a "very mild stroke." He was released from a Seattle hospital Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery. Wedge, 45, was hospitalized Monday when he complained about lightheadedness during batting practice. Wedge will miss the Mariners' next three series.

Comcast and Verizon's Phony Free-Speech Claim
Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit wrote this week that the First Amendment shields Comcast Corp. from Congress's authority to ensure the free flow of information across the basic network connections it provides.
Kavanaugh's assertion accompanied a ruling by the three-judge panel that reversed a Federal Communications Commission action against Comcast. Although the other two judges on the court did not endorse Kavanaugh's First Amendment argument, it will come up again later this year -- in a case brought against the FCC by Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ)
The court should resist this reasoning, or risk trivializing the freedom of speech that the First Amendment truly protects.
This week's case, Comcast Corp. (CMCSA)v. FCC, concerned the 1992 Cable Act, enacted at a time when policy makers rightly worried that cable operators would favor the channels that they increasingly controlled. The statute directed the FCC to prevent cable companies from discriminating among programming providers if the effect of such discrimination is to "unreasonably restrain the ability of an unaffiliated video programming vendor to compete fairly."
Comcast is both the largest high-speedInternet-access provider and the biggest American video distributor, and faces little competition within its territories for the wires it installs in American homes. At the same time, it owns a controlling interest in Golf Channel and NBC Sports Network, which Comcast distributes as part of its most popular "Expanded Basic" and "Digital Starter" bundles. Meanwhile, the company relegates Tennis Channel, a competitor, to its far-less-popular "Sports Tier," which focuses on sports programming and requires subscribers to pay additional fees.
Other cable distributors mimic Comcast's treatment of Tennis Channel, which claims that this prevents it from reaching the 40 million-subscriber threshold required to attract national advertising. The FCC agreed last year that Comcast's activities amounted to unlawful discrimination.
Free Speech
In its appeal of the FCC's ruling, Comcast wrapped itself in the mantle of the First Amendment, claiming that it is a speaker akin to the New York Times. The FCC's order that Comcast carry specific content to a specific audience amounted to an unconstitutional intrusion, the company said. In his concurring opinion this week, Judge Kavanaugh was strongly sympathetic to this claim, saying "the FCC cannot tell Comcast how to exercise its editorial discretion about what networks to carry any more than the Government can tell Amazon or Politics and Prose or Barnes & Noble what books to sell; or tell the Wall Street Journal or Politico or the Drudge Report what columns to carry."
Congress, though, has long distinguished basic information transmission facilities from newspapers; there is a sharp difference between a facility that allows someone else's speech to be transmitted, and expression itself. Indeed, all of American communications policy is based on this premise.
In enacting the 1992 Cable Act, Congress was concerned that the operator of the single wire into a home would have the power and incentive to pick and choose among sources of speech and thereby constrain Americans' access to information. No one watching a particular channel would think that Comcast, by virtue of transmitting it, was "speaking." And even if Comcast is, in some blunt way, "speaking" through its choice of channels, the rules against discrimination aren't meant to further the "message" of Tennis Channel. The government just wants fair competition.
In a separate case before the same court, Verizon is making a similar claim. According to the company, an FCC rule that keeps an Internet-access network provider from blocking its customers' access to any content violates its First Amendment right to control the speech it transmits. The rule amounts to compelled speech, and is thus as unconstitutional as a law ordering a newspaper what to publish. Verizon claims the right to edit the Internet with absolute discretion.
Closed Market
Hundreds of millions of Americans entrust giant, private digital-network providers with their First Amendment-protected speech. These providers -- principally Comcast and Time Warner Cable Inc. over wires, and Verizon and AT&T Inc. (T) in wireless -- have acted in parallel to exclude competition in their individual geographic and product marketplaces. At this point, it would be extraordinarily difficult for any new entrant to achieve the scale it would take to cut into the incumbents' profits.
As a result, the country that invented the Internet is lagging behind other nations; only people in Mexico, Israel, Chile, New Zealandand Greece pay more than Americans for each megabit per second of Internet access, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Now, the same companies are claiming First Amendment immunity from any congressional oversight. Other enormous industries have seen the appeal of this argument: Last year, the pharmaceutical industry successfully argued that the First Amendment shielded it from prosecution for promoting off-label use of a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
For the Internet-access providers, this implausible argument must not stand: If business decisions were constitutionally protected speech, every government regulation would be presumptively unconstitutional. Surely the First Amendment wasn't intended to be used as a shield to protect power in the marketplace.

What got my attention today was the latest Special Issue devoted to Nonsulfide Zn-Pb deposits in Ore Geology Reviews going into press now and ready for April 2008. Perhaps to the veterans of exploration the topics discussed are yesterday's news however, I have found my favorite reading for the next couple of weeks! Without going into the details let me recapitulate the topics discussed (I skipped the Intro):
- Stable isotope geochemistry of carbonate minerals in supergene oxidation zones of Zn–Pb deposits by Gilg et al. who present new equations for cerrusite and smithsonite oxygen isotopes and temperature fractionation by looking at deposits from Europe and Australia.
- Numerical simulation and a geochemical model of supergene carbonate-hosted non-sulphide zinc deposits by Reichert & Borg who offer a fascinating metallogentic modell for nonsulfide and discuss it in great detail with some excellent illustrations (one good image can say more than a 1000 words).
- Willemite (Zn2SiO4) as a possible Rb–Sr geochronometer for dating nonsulfide Zn–Pb mineralization: Examples from the Otavi Mountainland (Namibia) by Schneider et al. who demonstrate in this pilot study how the mineral willemite can be used as a geochronometer to directly date nonsulfide deposits and supplies good and reasonably accurate data.
- Mineralogical and geochemical characterization of nonsulfide Zn–Pb mineralization at Silvermines and Galmoy (Irish Midlands) by Balassone et al. and The "calamine" nonsulfide Zn–Pb deposits of Belgium: Petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical characterization by Coppola discuss the historic districts of Ireland and Belgium. Especially the later also features a number of great sample fotos.
UPDATE: Also read my more recent postings!

The Grand County High School marching band started its competition season with an impressive first-place showing at the Nebo Tournament of the Bands on Saturday, Sept. 28.
The competition featured 31 bands from all across Utah, classified into five divisions – 1A through 5A – according to the size of the band, said GCHS band director Don McGuire.
Grand, with 35 performers, competed in the 1A division, which is for bands with fewer than 40 members. The Red Devils were grouped with Spanish Fork, Springville, Ogden, Uintah, Salem Hills, Timpanogos, Payson and Stansbury Park for Saturday's competition at Payson.
In addition to taking overall first place in its category, the GCHS marching band was recognized as the best visual group and the best musical group, McGuire said. Stansbury took second place overall and Timpanogos placed third, he said.
"We were most pleased with the way the crowd received our show," McGuire said. "We enjoy being something of a 'good time' band."
The GCHS marching band's lively and entertaining show, entitled, "N'Awlins: Second Line," is styled after a traditional New Orleans jazz funeral. Parts of the show have been seen by GCHS football fans this season during the band's halftime performances at recent home contests.
Although Grand is the smallest school in Utah to have a competitive marching band, the GCHS group makes up for its lack of size in talent, McGuire said. He gave credit to drum major Adam Jenkinson and color guard captain Lindsay Farnsworth for their leadership, along with color guard coach Carrie Foy.
"Our music, which has been so well received, was written by Dr. Shannon Roberts of Weber State University, and our drill was written by Victor Neeves of Bandtek," McGuire said, adding that Neeves writes for many of the universities in the state as well as universities and high schools across the country.
"We enjoy enormous support from our band parents, who not only supply the kids for this band but also help with the transportation of sets and equipment, but also help set up the field for the performances," McGuire said.
"I have such a wonderful group of people to work with, both students, assistants and parents, we can't help but succeed," McGuire added. "More importantly though, is how much fun we have doing this. I think that's why people respond so well to this band … We're having fun, so they have fun!"

GreenMango needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
This is a countdown timer application for the Mac.
People who need a timer for their computer. They may use this to keep time on any task. For example, I am taking a practice test and I have 30 minutes to complete it, or I need to remember to turn off the stove in 5 minutes, etc. It's a countdown timer. It plays a sound and flashes when time expires to let the user know time has expired.
I need an icon for a countdown timer that we are building for the Mac. I have attached a photo of the application so that you can get an idea of what the app is, but I don't need the icon to look just like the app or anything like that. Think simple and think of timers.
The icon should be very sexy. This icon is NOT for the iphone, so it should not be an iphone style icon. This is a Mac computer application icon.
The icon will need to work at sizes ranging from 512x512 all the way down to 16x16.
The finished product will need to include a photoshop or illustrator file that can be used to recreate the icon image file.
Keep in mind, this is not a stopwatch. This is a countdown timer, and there is a big difference.
I look forward to your designs!
Also, look at my company's record on this site. We have awarded a winner in all prior contests so you can design with confidence.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
Last time I ran a tren cycle I noticed a huge mental fog that lasted a few weeks after discontinuing caber and tren.
During the cycle I felt like a god, both physically and mentally. My state of well being was incredible.
I'm thinking that during the tren cycle the caber keeps you in a great mood due to it constantly raising/releasing dopamine.
Could it be possible that after discontinuing it takes time for your body to naturally start producing dopamine? Sorta like how it takes time for natural test to come back?
Also, I'm cruising on test, so this is not associated with the lows of pct.
Just a thought I had, no science at all to back it up. Anyone have any thoughts?

NYC Mayor Bloomberg endorses Obama
He may have discouraged a post-storm presidential visit this week, but New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed President Obama for re-election Thursday.
His big issue: climate change.
"We need leadership from the White House — and over the past four years, President Barack Obama has taken major steps to reduce our carbon consumption, including setting higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks," Bloomberg wrote in a column for the Bloomberg News website.
Bloomberg added: "His administration also has adopted tighter controls on mercury emissions, which will help to close the dirtiest coal power plants (an effort I have supported through my philanthropy), which are estimated to kill 13,000 Americans a year."
It wasn't a particularly enthusiastic endorsement, as Bloomberg described much of Obama's administration as "disappointing;" but the mayor said Republican candidate Mitt Romney has reversed himself on too many issues, including climate change.
Obama said he was "honored" by the endorsement, adding: "While we may not agree on every issue, Mayor Bloomberg and I agree on the most important issues of our time — that the key to a strong economy is investing in the skills and education of our people, that immigration reform is essential to an open and dynamic democracy, and that climate change is a threat to our children's future, and we owe it to them to do something about it."
As for Romney, Bloomberg wrote that while Romney backed a "cap and trade" plan to reduce carbon emissions while he was governor of Massachusetts, he backed away from it during this year's presidential campaign.
"This issue is too important," Bloomberg said. "We need determined leadership at the national level to move the nation and the world forward."
The New York City mayor attributed the ferocity of this week's Hurricane Sandy to changes in the climate.
White House staff and Bloomberg discussed the possibility of an Obama visit to New York to inspect storm damage, but that did not happen; the president went to neighboring New Jersey.
Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-independent, did have some criticism for Democrat Obama in his column.
While running as a "consensus builder" four years ago, the president has "devoted little time and effort to developing and sustaining a coalition of centrists, which doomed hope for any real progress on illegal guns, immigration, tax reform, job creation and deficit reduction," Bloomberg wrote. "And rather than uniting the country around a message of shared sacrifice, he engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it."
Obama has also had "important victories," Bloomberg wrote:
"His Race to the Top education program — much of which was opposed by the teachers' unions, a traditional Democratic Party constituency — has helped drive badly needed reform across the country, giving local districts leverage to strengthen accountability in the classroom and expand charter schools. His health-care law — for all its flaws — will provide insurance coverage to people who need it most and save lives."
Here is Obama's full statement:
"I'm honored to have Mayor Bloomberg's endorsement. I deeply respect him for his leadership in business, philanthropy and government, and appreciate the extraordinary job he's doing right now, leading New York City through these difficult days.
"While we may not agree on every issue, Mayor Bloomberg and I agree on the most important issues of our time — that the key to a strong economy is investing in the skills and education of our people, that immigration reform is essential to an open and dynamic democracy, and that climate change is a threat to our children's future, and we owe it to them to do something about it. Just as importantly, we agree that whether we are Democrats, Republicans, or independents, there is only one way to solve these challenges and move forward as a nation — together.
"I look forward to thanking him in person — but for now, he has my continued commitment that this country will stand by New York in its time of need. And New Yorkers have my word that we will recover, we will rebuild, and we will come back stronger."

Since 1.6 and even further with 1.7 Dojo has a brand new AMD loader. Among the numerous features of the AMD loader like its ability to load various resources asynchronously, one of the great advantage is that AMD is a common approach followed by several JavaScript libraries. That basically means that you can use a shared approach in your web application to load and use various libraries getting a far better interoperability between the libraries on the market and avoiding potential clashes between them.
Before diving into the technical details of this, if you are not familiar with AMD I encourage you to read this introduction to AMD.
Let's first see how you load Dojo 1.7 and some of its modules using AMD.
For that you include the following tag in your web page:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.7.0/dojo/dojo.js"
Here in order to simplify the example I have referenced Dojo on the Google CDN, however nothing prevents you from hosting your own Dojo version and referencing it.
Once this is done any subsequent script tag in your web page will have access to the Dojo loader.
In order to load several Dojo modules you just need to leverage the require function. In the following example we are loading the Dojo query module and the DOM manipulation module as well as using them to modify the visibility of a DOM node:
The first parameter of require is the array of modules we want to load, the second one being a callback function called once all the modules have been loaded. Each parameter of the function corresponds to a reference to each loaded module. You can give whatever name to the reference you want to and no global reference is supposed to be created allowing several modules to be loaded without any of theme stepping on each other. Note that in this example we aliased the query module of Dojo to the usual $ alias of jQuery and we will see in the next example that it does not cause issues.
In order to load jQuery in addition to Dojo modules we need to tell the Dojo AMD loader where to find the jQuery module. One more time we can either configure it to find it locally or on a CDN. To be consistent with where we loaded Dojo let's load jQuery from Google CDN as well.
For that we first need to decorate the script tag loading Dojo with the correct configuration on where to find jQuery. This is done using the package property in the data-dojo-config attribute as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.7.0/dojo/dojo.js" data-dojo-config="async: true, packages: [ { name: 'jquery', location: 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1',
main: 'jquery' } ]"> </script>
The second step is to modify our source code to add the actual loading of jQuery through the require function:
As you can see we now have dojo/query module aliased to $ and jQuery module aliased to jquery without any conflict.
Note that we had to set the define.amd.jQuery flag to true in order for Dojo loader to be able to load jQuery. Indeed there is specific protection in jQuery code that prevents jQuery from being loaded by loaders that do not support the loading of multiple releases of jQuery in a single page. However as in our case we control the web page and we know we will only load one we can set that flag to override that protection. Note that if you need to load both Dojo and several jQuery versions on the same page you can, for example, use a 3rd party alternate AMD loader like RequireJS.
Obviously in a real life application you won't probably load the two libraries to achieve the same task (i.e. doing DOM queries and manipulations). So you will be loading different modules. The following example shows you how you can use jQuery to query your DOM and use Dojo to display a chart widge both being loaded using Dojo AMD loader:
minorLabels: false}). addAxis("ry", { vertical: true, fixLower: "major", fixUpper: "major", includeZero: true,
majorTickStep: 10000, max: 30000, title: "Revenues" }). addAxis("py", { vertical: true, fixLower: "major", fixUpper: "major", includeZero: true,
leftBottom: false, majorTickStep: 100, max: 300, title: "Profit" }). addPlot("profit", {type: Line, vAxis: "py", tension: "X", markers: true,
stroke: {color:"yellow"}, fill: "yellow", animate: true}). addPlot("revenues", {type: Columns, gap: 5, vAxis: "ry",
stroke: {color:"white"}, fill: "#2a6ead", animate: true}). addPlot("grid", { type: Grid, vMajorLines: false, vAxis: "ry"}). addSeries("data1", new StoreSeries(store, {}, function(item){ return item.revenues; }), { plot: "revenues"}). addSeries("data2", new StoreSeries(store, {}, function(item){ return item.profit; }), {plot: "profit"}); chart.render(); }); }); </script>

|Graduating Year:
|13 Years
When Brian Lee took the reigns of the LSU Soccer program in December 2004, he envisioned a program with the potential to be a perennial contender for the Southeastern Conference championship and an annual participant in the NCAA Tournament. His bold vision to transform LSU Soccer into a nationally-respected program has produced unprecedented results as the Tigers are ready to take to the field again in 2018.
Lee has guided the Tigers into a new era of SEC soccer as NCAA Tournament qualifiers and SEC Tournament semifinalists again in 2015 after winning four SEC Western Division championships and earning four trips to the NCAA Tournament through the 2011 season. That includes an impressive three-year run for the program in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and its return near the top of the SEC table again in 2011.The Tigers have twice advanced to the NCAA Round of 32 in 2007 and 2009.
The Tigers have also proven themselves as perennial contenders for the SEC regular season championship while claiming second place in the final conference standings in 2008, 2009 and 2011 to match their best SEC finish in program history.
In Lee's 13 seasons in Baton Rouge, the Tigers have posted a 130-101-41 overall record with a 56-63-21 mark against conference opponents. And since capturing its first SEC West title in 2007, LSU has posted a 51-52-19 record against SEC teams in the regular season, including a school record eight SEC wins in 2009 and 2011.
The 2017 season saw the Tigers match the school record for most consecutive wins to start a season. LSU racked up seven straight victories that featured a 1-0 victory over No. 19 Cincinnati to push the Tigers record to 7-0. The Tigers return 15 letterwinners in 2018 and will be led by the senior trio of Alex Thomas, Caroline Brockmeier and Christyna Pitre. A pair of underclassmen, Lucy Parker and Tinaya Alexander, will also be key cogs in the 2018 push for postseason success. Alexander matched the school record for most matches with consecutive assists (7) to start off her freshman season, and Parker contributed 10 points during her inaugural campaign in Baton Rouge.
Tigers Shine in National Spotlight
LSU soared to new heights in 2009 by matching the school wins record with a 15-4-5 overall mark and establishing a new school record with an 8-2-1 mark and 25 points in SEC play. For the second-straight season, the Tigers finished in second place in the final SEC standings and just one point shy of Florida for their first ever SEC Championship. LSU then took a No. 2 seed to the SEC Tournament and advanced to the conference final for the first time in program history.
The Tigers were rewarded for their outstanding performance with a No. 4 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, while serving as a regional host for the first time in team history and advancing to the NCAA Second Round for the second time in three seasons following a first ever appearance in the second round of the postseason in 2007.
Their effort helped land a No. 14 national ranking at the end of the 2009 season in the final Top 25 ranking released by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. It marked the second year in a row for LSU to finish a campaign as high as No. 14 in the national rankings.
Midfielder Malorie Rutledge was at the center of LSU's emergence into the national spotlight. After being recruited by Lee as part of a heralded Class of 2006, the Sharpsburg, Georgia, product wrapped up her collegiate career in 2009 as the most decorated Tiger to step on the pitch. Rutledge earned consensus All-America accolades in 2008 and 2009, while also being picked as a two-time SEC Offensive Player of the Year and three-time First-Team All-SEC performer during her brilliant career.
Rutledge rewrote the school record books in four seasons in Baton Rouge while setting LSU career records with 46 assists and 102 points from 2006-09. She added 28 goals as the club's most prolific scorer in its 21 years of collegiate competition. Rutledge wrapped up her career with an NCAA-leading 18 assists as a senior in 2009, shattering her own team single-season mark.
While Lee has coached 26 Tigers to 41 All-SEC selections in his 11 seasons, LSU was recognized with a team-best five all-conference selections in 2009.
Joining Rutledge on the All-SEC squad were defender Chelsea Potts (first-team), midfielder Allysha Chapman (second-team), midfielder Melissa Clarke (second-team) and forward Carlie Banks (all-freshman). Both Clarke and Potts ended their collegiate careers in 2009 as three-time All-SEC performers following their senior season.
The Tigers nearly matched that performance in 2011 as they again finished runner-up for the SEC Championship with a 13-8-1 record and their second-best league mark in program history at 8-3 with 24 points on the final SEC table. That earned the Tigers their fourth SEC West title and fourth at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in a five-year span.
Chapman led the charge for the Tigers in 2011 with her second First-Team All-SEC selection and third All-SEC honor in her collegiate career. She also made history by becoming the first LSU Tiger to be selected the SEC Defensive Player of the Year with her performance as one of the premier defensive talents in all of college soccer.
Five Tigers were again honored as All-SEC selections in 2011 as Chapman was joined on the squad by seniors Taryne Boudreau (first-team) and Natalie Martineau (second-team) and freshmen Alex Arlitt (all-freshman) and Jodi Calloway (all-freshman).
Chapman has since gone on to star for the Canadian Women's National Team during her professional career. She made history in each of the last two summers while becoming the first Tiger to ever play at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada in 2015 and the Olympic Games in Brazil in 2016 as Canada's starting left back throughout both tournaments.
LSU Soccer made history once again in 2013 when it became the first team SEC history to feature at least three freshmen on the All-SEC team in a single season with first-team, second-team or honorable mention all-conference honors. Striker Summer Clarke, midfielder Emma Fletcher and defender Megan Lee were each honored as Second-Team All-SEC performers in the wake of outstanding rookie seasons with the Tigers in 2013.
Clarke earned her second career All-SEC honor with a second-team selection in 2015 as she joined with the likes of Jorian Baucom(first-team) and Alex Thomas (all-freshman) in getting the Tigers back in the NCAA Tournament with one of the biggest turnarounds in the country.
Individually, Lee has coached five athletes to All-America honors and nine athletes to Freshman All-America honors in 21 seasons as a head coach. In addition, he has coached four Southern Conference Players of the Year, five Southern Conference Freshmen of the Year and three SEC Players of the Year, while guiding his athletes to a total of 92 all-conference selections since his first season as a head coach in 1994.
Despite finishing in 12th place in the final SEC standings in each of the previous two seasons prior to Lee's arrival in Baton Rouge, LSU Soccer has shown steady progress and continued staying power in their ascent to the top of the SEC as the squad finished in eighth place in 2005 and 2006, fourth place in 2007 and second place in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
The Tigers have also been a staple in the national rankings in recent seasons while cracking the Top 25 nationally in all major polls. LSU has climbed as high as No. 9 in 2008, No. 10 in 2009, No. 18 in 2010, No. 14 in 2011, No. 25 in 2013 and No. 24 in 2015 in the rankings.
Tigers Battle Nation's Elite
Lee and his dedicated coaching staff have built a program with the ability to compete with anyone in women's college soccer. That was never more evident than in 2007 when LSU battled No. 4-ranked Texas to a 2-2 draw on the road in Austin and dominated No. 6-ranked Tennessee by a 3-0 margin at home for the program's first victory against an opponent ranked as one of the Top 10 teams in the country.
The Tigers were impressive again in 2009 when they earned a pair of shutout wins versus teams in the Top 10 of the polls with a 6-0 blanking of No. 8-ranked Georgia and a 1-0 shutout of No. 10-ranked South Carolina in a pair of matches played at the LSU Soccer Stadium. The Tigers and Gamecocks then battled to a 1-1 draw in the SEC Tournament final during the 2009 season as South Carolina took the tournament title with a marathon 8-7 decision in penalty kicks.
In 2011, LSU Soccer earned its fourth at-large NCAA Tournament berth in five seasons on the strength of a resume that featured a pair of shutout wins over No. 10 Tennessee and No. 11 Florida in conference play en route to a third runner-up finish in the final SEC standings.
With the Volunteers bringing a Top 10 national ranking to Baton Rouge for the second time in three seasons, the Tigers were dominant in a 2-0 shutout to extend their unbeaten streak to four-straight in the series. The Tigers then made history with a trip to Gainesville, Florida, on Oct. 23 of the 2011 season as they pitched a 1-0 shutout for their first victory over the powerful Gators and hand Florida only its fourth defeat in SEC play at Pressly Stadium in its history.
The Tigers have since earned a pair of wins over nationally-ranked opponents in their inaugural meeting on the pitch in recent seasons with a 3-1 road triumph over 16th-ranked Missouri for their signature win of 2012 and a 1-0 shutout of 13th-ranked Southern California in a match played at a neutral site at the Minnesota Gold Classic in 2013.
LSU's NCAA Tournament qualification in 2015 was solidified with a signature win over 15th-ranked Duke as the Tigers blanked the Blue Devils, 1-0, in Baton Rouge during the non-conference season. Duke recovered to finish as the NCAA runner-up at the NCAA Women's College Cup in December 2015, falling to Penn State, 1-0, in the national championship match.
The Tigers have more than proven themselves as an elite program during Lee's 10 seasons in Baton Rouge as they have now scored nine wins and 10 draws against nationally-ranked teams since the 2007 season.
LSU Soccer: A Box Office Smash
Lee's impact has not only been felt with unprecedented results on the field, but also at the box office as record crowds have packed the LSU Soccer Stadium week in and week out to watch the Tigers in action since his arrival in Baton Rouge.
The 2011 season witnessed the birth of a new era of LSU Soccer as the Tigers christened the new LSU Soccer Stadium on the night of Sept. 9 with a dramatic 1-0 shutout of the Oregon Ducks before a record crowd of 2,542 supporters on hand for the festivities. It proved a fitting end to a night of celebration of one of the top rising programs in all of college soccer as the squad opened a stadium that stands as one of the true jewels of the Southeastern Conference.
The Tigers wrapped up the 2011 campaign ranked among the Top 20 teams nationwide in average attendance while drawing an average of 1,174 fans in their nine matches played at the new LSU Soccer Stadium to stand as the NCAA's No. 17-ranked program at the box office.
They then raised their attendance record again in 2012 when 2,624 supporters witnessed a 1-1 draw with the visiting Rice Owls in their home opener on Aug. 24.
The 2007 season proved to be unlike any other in the history of the program as the Tigers were unbeaten at the LSU Soccer Stadium for the first time with a 5-0-3 record while drawing an average of 1,294 fans per match. That ranked LSU Soccer among the Top 10 teams in the country in average attendance for the first time as the team finished the season at No. 7 in the NCAA with average paid attendance. The Tigers set three single-game attendance records on the season which includes a crowd of 2,402 for its 3-0 win over No. 6 Tennessee on Oct. 5, 2007.
LSU Soccer has proven formidable on its home turf while following an unbeaten season in 2007 at 8-1 in 2008, 7-1-2 in 2009, 6-1-2 in 2010 and 7-1-1 in 2011. The Tigers are coming off their second unbeaten season at home in team history as they were 8-0-4 in 12 matches played on their home turf at the LSU Soccer Stadium in 2015.
Tigers Lead by Example
Not only have the Tigers proven to be one of the SEC's top programs with their effort on the field in 11 seasons under Lee's direction, but they have also taken great pride in their performance off the field as they are the University leaders in community service each season as winners of four-straight Tiger Cups from 2009-12.
The Tiger Cup is presented each season by the Tiger Athletic Foundation as part of the annual TAF Academic Excellence Gala to the athletic program that best represents the University with its performance on and off the field. The winner of the Tiger Cup is determined using a point system based on a team's final conference and national ranking, cumulative team grade-point average and community service hours accumulated during the previous academic year.
Lee's athletes boast a proven track record in the classroom as his teams have earned 10 NSCAA Team Academic Awards. A total of 122 student-athletes were selected to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in his 11 years at Furman, while 137 Tigers have been named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in his 11 seasons in Baton Rouge.
LSU Soccer actually set a program record following the 2015 season with 17 selections to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll a year ago, eclipsing the team's previous record of 14 SEC honor roll selections three times in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
Lee Brings Proven Track Record to Tigers
Winning conference titles and leading a nationally-prominent program are nothing new for the native of Cheltenham, England, who led the Furman Lady Paladins to six Southern Conference Championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances during his 11-year tenure after starting the program from scratch in 1994.
In 11 seasons, Lee's teams amassed a 144-80-10 overall record, including an impressive 76-16-3 mark in conference play. The Lady Paladins went undefeated in conference play three times (1999, 2000, 2002) and were just shy of perfection in 2003 after finishing the season with a 10-0-1 record in Southern Conference play.
For his many accomplishments, Lee was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year five times and was named the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 1999, the same year in which he was selected as a finalist for the NSCAA National Coach of the Year Award.
In addition to his experience coaching at the collegiate level, Lee served on the staff of the Region III Olympic Development Program Team from 1999-2008, while reaching the rank of assistant coach of the Region III ODP Team in 2006.
In 2014, Lee rejoined the coaching staff for the Region III ODP Team as the head coach of the Under-15 age group.
A successful athlete in his own right, Lee earned four letters with the Furman men's soccer team from 1989-92 as an integral part of three Southern Conference titles and was voted team captain and selected as the team's Most Valuable Player as a senior. He also led his team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1991.
Lee, 46, graduated from Furman in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He and his wife, the former Nancy Repsher of Westboro, Massachusetts, and also a 1993 graduate of Furman University, have two children – Aidan, 12, and Abby, 11.

Craig Wilson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
We need a new clean, crisp logo to add to our website http://www.digital-detective.co.uk.
Digital Detective
We quite like the font that we currently use for the logo but feel we need something else in conjunction with it. Ideally, it would need to work as well on a black background with white writing as well as on a white background with dark blue writing. The logo needs to go on the top of the web site which currently has a black banner. It also needs to able to be used on company paperwork.
The company deals in digital/computer forensics software, training and in the future we will be doing computer/mobile phone and digital forensics.
- We like this current logo http://www.digital-detective.co.uk/…llLogo.png using a font we have. It would be nice to have some sort of logo as well as this format or style of text. The dark blue is RGB 20,29,76.
Something reasonable simple and not too fussy or complicated
We would possibly be willing to look at alternative fonts etc
- We have had suggestions with magnifying glasses, images of detectives heads, detective and sherlock holmes type logos in the past which we do not like

Improved health would be big boost to Brewers in 2014
MILWAUKEE -- The calendar has flipped to 2014, so here are five big questions facing the Brewers as a new season looms:
1. Whither Ryan Braun?
MILWAUKEE -- The calendar has flipped to 2014, so here are five big questions facing the Brewers as a new season looms:
1. Whither Ryan Braun?
He is one of the best hitters in baseball, the 2011 National League MVP Award winner and the 2012 runnerup. He is also a player who struggled with injuries for the first four months of 2013 before being suspended the remainder of the season for violations of Major League Baseball's drug program.
Which Braun will the Brewers get in 2014?
"I think I will be better," Braun said as he broke his silence in November. "I should be better."
Whether he is right will go a long way in determining what type of team the Brewers turn out to be, and will do more from a public relations standpoint than anything that comes out of Braun's mouth. For his part, Braun says he is sorry for using a cream and a lozenge containing a banned substance to speed his comeback from an injury, though he still won't identify the injury or the specific substance. He has expressed particular remorse for his February 2012 comments about Dino Laurenzi Jr., the collector who took the urine sample that led to the positive test that began the whole saga. Braun has apologized privately to many coaches and teammates.
Because he has not been transparent about some of the key the details that led to his suspension, expect the story to continue into Spring Training. Braun knows he will receive harsh treatment on the road, and he's unsure of what reception he will receive from fans at home.
"Obviously the whole thing is a huge regret," Braun said. "It was a huge mistake. I wish that I hadn't done it. I wish I could go back and do a lot of things different. I don't think I could specifically pinpoint one thing that I regret more than anything else. I regret all of it. I wish I could go back and change it, but I can't do that."
2. Who's on first? And second? And third?
We can answer the second two, albeit tentatively. Manager Ron Roenicke made clear that Scooter Gennett has earned the second-base job over Rickie Weeks, whose $11 million salary and comeback from hamstring surgery makes him a quite complicated fit for the '14 club. And at third base, Aramis Ramirez is returning from a season ruined by a knee injury, entering the final year of his contract. Given the premium on right-handed power at the moment, both Weeks and Ramirez could be key trade chips if they are healthy early in the season, despite their high salaries.
As for first base, it was "wide open," to borrow general manager Doug Melvin's characterization, on the first day of the offseason, and remained so at year's end. There appears to be little appetite in the Brewers' front office to start free-swinging Juan Francisco on Opening Day, although he is arbitration-eligible and the team's top internal option. Melvin vowed at the Winter Meetings that, "We'll get someone," so the search will continue in the New Year.
Whomever the Brewers choose for the position, they will probably be better than what the team had in 2013. Seven different players started at first base for Milwaukee, none of whom had ever started a Major League game at that position before. They combined for a Major League-worst .629 OPS.
3. Has the bullpen been ignored?
Because first base is such a priority, and the budget is relatively tight (with more than $70 million already committed to 10 players, including arbitration projections), Melvin has put his search for bullpen help on the backburner. He would still like to add a pitcher or two with experience closing games to what, at the moment, is an inexperienced group.
Jim Henderson will enter a season as a closer for the first time, and Brandon Kintzler as a bona fide setup man. Both right-handers were technically rookies in 2013, and were excellent, combining for a .219 opponents' batting average and 2.6 wins above replacement.
After that, question marks abound. Veterans John Axford, Francisco Rodriguez and Burke Badenhop have been traded away during the past six months. Left-hander Tom Gorzelanny will return for the second season of his two-year deal, but he will be coming back from what assistant GM Gord Ash characterized as minor offseason shoulder surgery. Another left-hander, Will Smith, was acquired in a trade with the Royals, but he will get a look as a starter first. Relatively inexperienced players like Rob Wooten, Donovan Hand, Michael Blazek, Alfredo Figaro, Mike Fiers and Hiram Burgos could be in line for more prominent roles.
Once first base is settled, look for Melvin to add more names to that list of options.
4. Will the outfield shuffle pay off?
Braun is moving to right field after playing the last six seasons in left, a move that Roenicke touted for its long-term effects. The manager and Melvin believe it is generally easier to find a good left fielder than a right fielder, and Braun is signed through at least 2020.
The shift could provide a short-term boost as well, if 26-year-old Khris Davis can grab the left-field job and replicate his performance late in 2013 over a full season. Davis' arm strength limits him, but his bat looks big league; he batted .279/.353/.596 in 56 games last season, mostly after Braun was suspended. Davis hit 11 home runs and 10 doubles in 136 at-bats, and his .949 OPS was eighth best among Major Leaguers with at least 100 plate appearances -- trailing Miguel Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez, Chris Davis, Mike Trout, David Ortiz, Carlos Gonzalez and Paul Goldschmidt.
The trick for the Brewers' Davis will be maintaining production over a full season, especially now that opponents have a better book on him. Logan Schafer and Caleb Gindl are the top in-house options to man left field should Davis falter.
5. Can they catch the division leaders?
The Cardinals, Pirates and Reds ran away with the National League Central last year, and none of those teams look significantly diminished heading toward the 2014 season. Roenicke believes his own club will be better with good health and the sort of starting pitching the Brewers showed during the second half, but he is also realistic.
"It's a good division," Roenicke said. "We know what we're up against. We know everything has to go right. We certainly can't have any injuries we had last year. But that's OK. It's fun when you're not picked to win something and you end up having a great year. That's really nice to do."
