For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in 2015 draft as well their their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records (top 11 picks) have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

a lot of ground to cover here, let's get to it...
UPDATE: Muskat previews the Winter Meetings and says up to three teams are interested in Bradley. Talks have happened with the Tigers for Granderson but not looking good at the moment. Reed Johnson is welcome back and Mark DeRosa is out of the Cubs price range.
- Mlive.com has a pretty detailed report on the negotiations between the Cubs and Tigers so far for Curtis Granderson. The Tigers wanted Carlos Marmol or Starlin Castro as the headliner in a trade and they've been deemed untouchable (that always works out well for the Cubs). They did do some previous scouting on Jake Fox last season and he could of been of interest as part of the package, but they'll have to get him from the A's now. Names like Josh Vitters, Jay Jackson, Andrew Cashner and Hak-Ju Lee are thrown around, but they don't quite bring the right mixture of major league readiness and prospectdom that the Tigers are craving.
- A very sketchy rumor of the Cubs having interest in Vicente Padilla.
- Chone Figgins to the Mariners for 4/36 according to Rosenthal. A bit pricey, but such is the cost of dabbling in free agency.
"In the days to come, some people will no doubt try to use this as a referendum on the A's versus the Royals and on Moneyball versus old-school thinking, as if a game this wild, this tight, this utterly drop-dead gorgeous could serve as a standard-bearer for either school of thought. This game didn't vindicate Billy Beane or Dayton Moore. This game vindicated baseball."
The book is slightly dated now and some of the statistical calculations have evolved since then, but I really enjoyed: "Baseball Between the Numbers: Why Everything You Know About the Game Is Wrong" And my favorite chapter was "What if Rickey Henderson had Pete Incaviglia's Legs?"
The upshot from the last paragraph:
Interestingly, this year he gave up 13 stolen bases but caught 10, for a 43% CS rate. And only one of the stolen bases last night was off Soto, the other six were off Derek Norris--his CS% is only 17%, or 10% below league average. So the smart move was actually to wait until Soto was out of the game, then run like crazy. And Soto actually got credited with a CS on the stupid double steal attempt when the runner was thrown out at home, which was "small ball" at its worst.
that you Tom Boswell?
When Geo Soto is your opponent's best defensive catcher, the "specific situations" where steals make sense expand to include "when runners are on base."
The Royals use the same types of advanced metrics that the A's use. The moneyball vs. non-moneyball distinction is moot these days.
And no one ever says that sac bunts and stolen bases can't help a team win a game. Those moves have proven pivotal in many games over the history of baseball. But those moves backfire or hurt the team far more often than they help teams win, and studies have demonstrated that there are only specific situations where those types of moves make sense.
I don't know about "old school." Nothing wrong with youth and speed.
Don't overlook that steals were involved in all three late-inning, come-from-behind rallies by the team that beat the moneyballers.
Yeah, Royals only have Omar Infante, who was a Cub for three weeks in the 2007 off season. Casey Coleman is on their 40-man, but not active. I think that's it.
I might be missing people, and the post-season rosters are not yet set, but:
The Angels have Tony Campagna. Josh Hamilton was owned by the Cubs for a minute. Rich Hill and Ian Stewart played for them this season but Hill was released and Stewart optioned.
The Tigers have Al Alburquerque who was a Cubs' farmhand (traded to acquire Jeff Baker), but that might be it.
Wow, just wow. I may have to read the local news pubs out in the Bay Area just to see the reaction. Baseball is just so crazy - here you had Beane going off his recipe quite a ways to go in for the kill in the playoffs and it absolutely, almost literally, explodes in his face. It almost makes being a Cubs fan bearable. Kansas City v Pirates maybe? A true ratings blockbuster.
Adam Dunn, not WS MVP. Even better, he was a no-show in a 12 inning game. A's out. Shark sits out the All Star game and the playoff game. Hammel tosses the losing pitch. Soto sprains his thumb and has to leave mid game but still partakes in the defense side of a base stealing record playoff game.
Cardinals next on my kiss of death prediction list.
Missed it by that Much!
ex-Cub factor too strong for A's (Fuld, Donaldson, Soto, Hammel, Samardzija)
old school baseball wet dream
sac bunts and stolen bases everywhere...(7 SB total off Soto and Norris and their pitchers)
OAK takes a 1 run lead in the top 12th...KC ties it in the bottom 12th.
this is one of those "why i watch baseball" games.
KC WINS! BOTTOM 12! wow.
...and tied in the 9th.
awesome game.
helluva game
Yost goes to Ventura in 6th inning instead of Herrera, Davis or Holland because, well no one but Yost knows. Moss hits second HR of game.
Royals with a tease rally though. 7-6 headed into the 9th.
Heh, 3-2 Royals at the moment
Collapse narrative is back on

A college group had rented three vans and parked them on the street right behind the hotel where they were staying. Police estimate that at about 6 a.m. Thursday at least two people busted the back locks of two of the vans and stole them.
So students from St. Joseph's College campuses in Patchogue and Brooklyn had no transportation to do what they've been doing all week: helping families devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
More than 30 college students and advisors voluntarily spent their spring break this week helping families rebuild in Breezy Point and Fire Island.
They were staying at the La Quinta Inn in Ozone Park, Queens, when the vans were stolen. Thieves not only hurt the students but the families that the students had planned on helping.
When police learned that the charitable students had been ripped off, they jumped into action and used GPS to track down the vans in East New York, Brooklyn. Police dusted for prints, which will hopefully help them find the thieves.
The students' good will may have been cut short this week but they say they will be back.

Five thousand students in Metro Nashville Public Schools will be heading back to class next week with a load of new supplies donated by the community.
About 300 volunteers came together at Greer Stadium on Thursday to place school supplies into backpacks for the United Way's annual "Stuff the Bus" campaign.
All of their energy was focused on one goal: getting the children who are most in need off to a good start this school year.
This is the fifth year that United Way's Nashville branch has held the school supply drive, and each year it gets bigger and bigger.
Organizers tell us they collected more than 110,000 items.

DETROIT -- One of the defense lawyers in the Kwame Kilpatrick corruption trial left court in an ambulance. It cut short Monday's testimony, and Tuesday's is canceled, as well.Gerald Evelyn has been a key figure in the Kilpatrick and company trial for years now and a trusted defender of Bobby Ferguson. However, his condition is casting a shadow on the future of these proceedings."We really don't know his condition at this particular point. We're hoping, obviously, that it's nothing serious. He was taken for treatment, and in the meantime, the attorneys all agreed that they would adjourn court for tomorrow," said court information officer Rod Hansen."It appears to be something that obviously is of concern to everybody, and so our hopes and prayers are with him," said defense attorney Jim Thomas.Everybody hopes Evelyn will make a speedy recovery, but his collapse on Monday raised doubts about whether he'll be able to return to court anytime soon.One legal expert said Judge Nancy Edmunds will probably have to keep the case moving forward no matter what happens."She may well say that you have other people in court with you, we'll take some time for them to get up to speed, but I think it's unlikely that she would stop the trial at this point, even though it's his lead attorney," Peter Henning explained.The Wayne State University law professor said Edmunds doesn't have the option of putting the trial on hold indefinitely. That would cause a mistrial, and that would trigger a new trial complete with another painstaking round of jury selection."I doubt she wants to put this to a stop now and then restart it all over again. That would likely mean a delay of four to six months and then the entire jury selection process again. That was so painful that I doubt anyone wants to go through that again."While Ferguson has a top notch legal team, continuing the trial without Evelyn could provide grounds for an appeal."It may be more of a legal issue down the road. If there is a conviction and Mr. Evelyn's not allowed to come back, but the trial continues, certainly he could try to raise that issue on appeal. It would be a very difficult one to win. He would have to show that whatever lawyer stepped in was ineffective," Henning said.Hopefully this will all be a moot point with Evelyn returning to court hale and hearty soon.

As a kid, Tory Brown '13 loved reading mystery book series such as the Hardy Boys and The Box Car Children. "I liked figuring out what was going to happen," he said.
Today, the communication studies major from Fredericksburg, Virginia, is turning that love of mystery into what he hopes will be a career in journalism or other communications field. "I like the reporting aspect," he said. "I love talking to people and getting information that helps you get to the bottom of things."
During high school, Brown's interests mostly centered around basketball. But college brought the opportunity to a try a number of new activities—a few that surprised even him. Dance is a big example. Friends convinced Brown, who had never taken a dance course, to participate in the College's dance concert his first year.
"I really didn't know what I was doing, but they said if you can walk, you can dance," he said. "That is what I did for that first performance. Afterwards, I decided to take a couple of dance classes."
The same thing happened later with a theatre production, and it was not long before Brown caught the acting bug. "I was never a risk-taker during high school," Brown said. "I wanted to stay in my comfort zone. But it is different here. Taking dance and acting were risks, and taking those risks opened up opportunities for me."
Chad Beck, a communication studies professor, said Brown's involvement in arts-related activities such as theatre and dance will help later in life. "Tory is a living example of how Randolph students can emerge as productive, engaged leaders in the artistic and cultural spheres," he said. "Culture and the arts nurture creativity valuable for any career and for contributing to communities."
Brown was chosen as a 2011 Davenport Leader, and he can already see how the competitive program, which provides students with leadership training, has made a difference in how he works with others. Whether he is using those skills as he coordinates events for the Macon Activities Council, in class, or during any of his other extracurricular activities, Brown knows the experiences will be valuable when he is searching for a job in the journalism field.
"College is much more than what I expected, and I definitely think I am going to be prepared for anything," he said. "My professors always know when I can do better. And when you have that positive influence and positive push, you can't help but be successful."

LAWRENCEVILLE - Two residential trash haulers threatened with termination now have their paperwork in line, but county commissioners said they are unsure if the companies can be trusted to pick up garbage.County Commissioner Bert Nasuti said he was "bombarded" with complaints about Quality Waste and Red Oak Sanitation earlier in the year, after one of the companies removed trash cans from some customers' homes. Quality Waste owner Richard Watson said the removal was a mistake. He said the move was meant to get the company out of an area where business was thin, but residents were not properly notified about the decision. "It was just a huge error," Watson said. "We tried to rectify it." Watson said he will talk to commissioners, who tabled until Tuesday a decision on whether to allow the companies to go forward with their businesses, this week. Stub Luce, who owns Red Oak Sanitation, said he was upset the companies were lumped together for the decision. The February termination notice gave the haulers until the end of March to have the proper bonds and insurance in place, but required them to reapply for the right to pick up garbage in the county. Luce said after 25 years in the business, he's now in a "wait-and-see" mode before learning if his company can continue. Nasuti said he will talk to Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful about both haulers. He said he was concerned residents had the rug pulled out from under them when cans were removed. "They picked up their stuff, they picked up their cans, and said 'Have a nice life,'" Nasuti said. "They thumbed their nose at the citizenry. ... In all my years in government, I haven't seen citizens treated that way." Both companies said they have lost hundreds of customers as a result of the termination and reapplication. Nasuti said he is keeping an open mind about whether to allow the haulers to continue operating, but that it is not the board's job to keep people in business. "You have no right to be a trash hauler; you earn it," Nasuti said. "My concern is that if they did it once, they'll do it again." The termination is unrelated to a new trash plan, slated to begin in 2009, that divides the county into eight service areas. It will also have no bearing on the companies' ability to apply to pick up waste as part of that plan, currently in the draft stage and being reviewed by the Atlanta Regional Commission and the state's Department of Community Affairs. Commissioners Tuesday also approved an application from a commercial trash hauler, Operations Management International, Inc.

Rhinoplasty, Septorhinoplasty & Repair Of Nasal Fractures
Rhinoplasty facts
- These procedures are done to change, correct, or repair the nose.
- A thorough discussion of anticipated results and possible surgical limitations is an essential part of pre-surgical planning.
- Surgery is usually done in an outpatient surgicenter facility under anesthesia.
- Assistance is required for the first day after surgery.
- Several office visits for nose care and optimal results will be necessary following surgery.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a facial cosmetic procedure, usually performed to enhance the appearance or reconstruct the nose. During rhinoplasty, the nasal cartilages and bones are modified, or tissue is added, to improve the visual appeal of the nose. Rhinoplasty is also frequently performed to repair nasal fractures. When rhinoplasty is used to repair nasal fractures, the goal is to restore pre-injury appearance of the nose. Septorhinoplasty is a related procedure performed for patients who also have nasal obstruction. Septorhinoplasty not only improves the appearance of the nose, but it removes any internal obstructions and stabilizes structures that may be blocking nasal breathing.

One of the world's most powerful supercomputers has finally done what had seemed impossible: successfully modelled brain activity.
Harnessing more than 82,000 processors on the world's fourth-ranked supercomputer, scientists run an experiment that represents 1 percent of human brain activity.
Scientists convince mice they remembered something that didn't happen. So where's that luxury cruise I want to recall?
Too tired to get up? Get a leg up from Riba II, the latest teddy bear robot nurse from Japan. No, you can't take it to bed.
The system, called K, will have 80,000 processors and is designed to perform 10 quadrillion calculations per second when done in 2012.
The latest list of most-powerful computers is a bit of same old, same old. But soon, it won't be so easy to get ahead on the Top500 list by plugging in special-purpose accelerator cards.
The machine, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, bumps the IBM-based Sequoia system down a notch with its performance of 17.59 petaflops per second.
A Japanese scientist says he has a "reasonable chance" of successfully cloning the long-extinct woolly mammoth within just a few years, according to a report.
Researchers have unveiled an improved nurse robot called Riba that can lift patients from beds and wheelchairs. It has a teddy bear face.
The biannual Top500 Supercomputing list is out, and for the first time in seven years, Japan has built the world's fastest computer. K Computer displaces China's Tianhe-1A just six months after the Chinese machine took the crown.

Lester struggles again, Red Sox fall to Rays 8-3
Starting pitching has been the key to the Red Sox' recent success and unfortunately for them they didn't get a good outing from starter Jon Lester and thus fell to the Rays 8-3 Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.
Lester didn't make it out of the fifth inning as he allowed seven runs on eight hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work. The most discouraging thing was his seven walks, never having any command all night. He also allowed three home runs and his ERA jumped to 4.12. The one encouraging thing was Jose De Le Torre, who was called up earlier in the day as the Sox needed an arm in the bullpen, as he went 3 1/3 innings and allowed just one run to give the bullpen a much needed night off.
With the game tied at two entering the bottom of the third the Rays scored six runs in their next three at-bats to blow the game open, including a three-run fifth inning chasing Lester from the game.
Jacoby Ellsbury and Jose Iglesias paced the Red Sox offensively in the loss each registering two hits in the eight-hit attack. Iglesias has now hit in 14 straight games. Dustin Pedroia had an RBI sacrifice fly and Mike Napoli had a two-RBI single to account for the Sox runs.
The teams will play the rubber game of their three-game series Wednesday night (7:10, NESN). Alfredo Aceves will make a spot start for the Sox and be opposed by Chris Archer.
What they'll be saying: Many expected something to come about following John Lackey drilling Matt Joyce last night and Rays manager Joe Maddon's comments on it after the game, but nothing ever came about … It was another disappointing outing for Lester who has not won a game since May 15. All seven of his runs allowed came with two outs, which has become an issue for the left-hander. Over those five starts he has an ERA of 6.90 and has struggled with his command. Something to monitor with Lester is his health, as something just isn't right as he was so dominant to start the season.

Asheville, North Carolina is home to a wonder of a home that was built by George Vanderbilt. The home sits on 8,000 acres that have been stunningly transformed into an unforgettable experience. Your first view of the home is mostly taken up by the size and grandeur of the estate. Vanderbilt had the estate set up so that it blended into the surrounding countryside and mountains. The result is a fantastic journey into the past that is as amazing on the outside as it is on the inside.
As you go on a self-guided tour through its numerous rooms, you will see paintings done by some of the most influential artists in history, a chess set owned by Napoleon, gorgeous woodwork and items from all over the world. The structure itself is fascinating in its technology and innovation for the time. Trained docents are available at strategic points to answer any questions that you might have about the home, and you can also rent a player that will explain the home's history to you as you go through it.
One of the best times to visit is during the holiday season, as the home is decorated to the hilt for Christmas. A huge Christmas tree sits in the grand entrance hall and you are greeted by the sounds of carolers dressed in period clothing. You can stay at an inn that has been built on the site, sample wine produced at the estate winery and sample food grown right on the property as well.
The experience requires at least a good day, or more if you have the time. There is a lot to take in with the gorgeous art, interior furnishings, indoor garden and just the house and grounds as a whole. There is no better way, though, to take a break during the holidays and unwind than at this gorgeous estate. They offer reasonable packages for couples and families, which makes it affordable to go.

Hartnell College Represented in Who's Who Among Students In American Junior Colleges
Oct. 18, 2002
There are 98 students from Hartnell College who have been selected to be in the 2003 edition of Who's Who Among Students In American Junior Colleges. These students have been selected as national outstanding campus leaders.
The nominating committee and editors of the annual directory have included the names of these students based on their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for continued success. They join an elite group of students from more than 1,400 institutions of higher education in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations.
"We at Hartnell College are very proud of these 98 students. This makes it all worthwhile," said Dr. Edward Valeau, President of Hartnell College.
Outstanding students have been honored in the annual directory since it was first published in 1966.

I write this not to create fear, but to warn you of the dangers of the mind.
This story is not one to be taken lightly.
My name is Jarod. I lived with my daughter, Angie, who was 6. She always loved to draw things, every day she'd run up to me and show me another one of her happy and colourful drawings. However, one day she came up to me with a picture of her and a woman. This woman was apparently called 'Maud' and it was Angie's imaginary friend, although naturally she believed Maud was real. But the picture portrayed this woman was in incredible detail; she appeared to be a frail lady with a long dress. The features were disturbing to say the least as the eyes were glaring and her mouth was curled into a sneer. I looked at my daughter over the picture and tried to feign a smile but she could tell something had upset me. "What's wrong Daddy?" She asked in a peculiar tone of voice "Don't you like Maud? But she likes you so much! She's right next to you!" I turned to see that nothing was there, my heart was pounding in my chest to think that this woman was right next to me. I laughed to myself and smiled at my daughter and told her that I liked her new friend.
Later that night I heard a loud crash and my daughter crying. I bolted up the stairs to see what was wrong, the door to Angie's bedroom was broken off and lying on the floor. I ran inside to find Angie on the floor crying and holding her arm, she looked up at me and cried "She hurt me! She scratched my arm!" She lifted up her hand to reveal a deep cut in her arm; it wasn't very long but it had reached down to the bone.
"Who? Who did this to you?" I questioned.
"It was Maud!" Angie said with tears pouring down her face. The second she said that name I felt as if I was going insane. She can't have done this, she's not real. I shook my head at the thought and focused on trying to carry Angie down the stairs and into the car. I had to take her to the hospital; I barely had enough medical supplies as it is. As I drove to the hospital, I was on the verge of a panic attack. What the hell could have happened to my daughter? What did that to her? Thoughts like these and many more were racing through my mind at an incredible speed. I finally got to the hospital and ran inside with Angie.
The rain was battering down on the windows when we got inside, I immediately ran to the counter and told them what had happened. Angie received the proper treatment as I waited in the entrance hall for her return. I paced up and down worrying about her; I thought that Maud wasn't real, I thought that my daughter was just seeing things. Then I stopped and thought, why me? Why do all the bad things happen to me?
It was nearly 11pm and we had just gotten home from the hospital. Angie was still upset and wouldn't go to sleep because she said that Maud would come back again. So she spent the night in my room, her crying slowly ceased and she had begun to sleep. That night I was plagued with nightmares of a tall, thin woman with claws for hands running towards me and screaming my name. I awoke the next morning to find that my daughter was gone and there was a note on the bed. I looked around and cleared my vision before reading the note. The note said:
Dear Daddy
Maud came back yesterday. She said she was sorry and she said she'd take me to the park. She said she knows a place that'll make all the pain go away.
Love Angie
The colour drained from my face and everything went cold. Instantly, I grabbed my keys got dressed and ran outside to the car. As I got outside I took one look at the car and I knew I wouldn't be able to drive it. The wheels were slashed, the lights had been broken and the bonnet had something scrawled on it. I walked over slowly and what it said made my heart sink, it had been hastily scrawled and it read:
I knew you'd try to come looking for Angie when you read that message but we are having a party and NO ONE is invited.
From Maud
I cannot describe the emotion I felt at that moment, the sheer anger and fear for my daughter, the feeling of being completely useless, and the feeling of absolute emptiness. I could only think of one thing to do. Run.
I sprinted down the road towards the park, I knew if I didn't get there in time this thing would take her away from me. I could see the park slowly coming into my sight, so I pressed on, not stopping for a second. I got to the park and looked around manically, no one was around at this hour and all I could hear was this faint laughing sound coming from a bush near a group of trees. I ran towards them and pushed through the plants to find Angie lying on the ground with marks on her neck. I fell to the ground in front of her; I kept thinking I could save her. Tears were falling down my face as I tried speaking to her, calling her name. My loss struck me like a knife to the chest, my heart crumbling, and my soul withering. A voice behind me giggled "She's not coming back… hehehe" I turned around, my empty sadness was instantly replaced by murderous rage at the loss of my daughter. "WHERE ARE YOU?" I shouted, my voice startling the birds causing them to fly away. "Show yourself!" I shouted again.
"I'm right here Jarod." The voice whispered behind me. I froze, and slowly turned around to face her. That's when I saw her. Her haunting frame was so thin the skin just hung off of the bone, her eyes were like pits of darkness surrounded by a sneering face. "Now you see me…" She said coldly "Now you see me because you have lost someone dear to you… hehehe". I couldn't move. Her cold eyes stared past me and right into my soul. I tried to move, but to no avail. She seemed to float towards me, she stopped just as she reached my face and smiled. "hehe…. You see me Jarod….. I will come for you when you least expect it….. I shall wait for you to want to leave this world the most…. And I shall take you from it…… Just as I did with sweet Angie….." Maud breathed. She then suddenly vanished and I heard as clear as day my daughter voice saying "I miss you Daddy, come with me….."
And that's the tale of Maud. She haunts me every day. She is in my room while I sleep. She is following me wherever I walk. She will wait for me to give up on the world. Then she'll take me. That time is fast approaching. When you lose someone dear to you, she'll be there to comfort you. Taking care of you, and when she gains your trust…
She'll take you too.

Go 4G!
gawd i feel like a 16 year old girl back in High school...
"it was made very explicit that Gizmodo was to help the finder return the phone to its rightful owner or give it back..... You mean the "kid" only wanted $5K to find it's rightful owner? Thats a really good deal!!! LMAO!! It doesn't make sense at all! He supposedly saw the guys facebook page on the phone. Why would he need help locating him? And also need $5k for help doing so? Since when did Gizmodo get into the "iPhone lost and found" business???
There are more rumours about this than about Kate Goselin and Lindsey Lohan combined
poor guy, he got himself locked in apple's mess.
bet he wont cooperate with them again.
It's all about having a good story and sticking to it. Paying someone $5000 to "help the finder return the phone to its rightful owner" is not a good story.
Why didn't the guy cover his face or something? It's not hard to know what the consequences were of showing the years hottest device by APPLE early, geez.
Let this be note......If u ever find an Iphone laying around. Immediately call Gizmodo and ask them help return the Iphone to its rightful owner. Also, ask them to pay you around $5k for doing so......Damn we should all quit our jobs and just run around looking for lost Iphones, and calling Gizmodo to help return them, LoL
It doesn't matter whether it was lost or stolen (I don't think even Apple seriously thought this guy even knew the engineer had a prototype phone, let along planned to steal it), to point is that it wasn't his to sell.
If I find someone's wallet and ID in the street and try to sell it on ebay, they'd have every right to take action against me. How is this different?
According the California law, if someone finds something and does not return it to its owner or turn it in to a police station, it is considered stolen regardless of whether it was "lost and found" or actually "stolen" (as in reaching into his pocket and taking it without permission or something).
Silly college kids
@angiepangie -- your point is so oft ignored by all of the anti-Apple comments that I have seen on this story. This kid may come down with a severe case of felonitis as a result of his own stupidity.
Expect this college kid to get sued by Apple.
The $5K he made may have been nice at first, however... When apple causes his finances to become a negative amount, it will definately not seem worth it after all!

The mid-year population estimates for 2002 (MYEs) were published on 26 September 2003. These were based on revised MYEs for 2001.
Interim Revised National Estimates 1992 to 2000
There is a need for national estimates for time series and other uses that form a series that has no break. Some users need such a series very quickly.
The interim revised national estimates will be produced using a simple methodology that can be quickly implemented. This methodology is likely to draw upon existing estimates for 1992 to 2000, and allocate the difference between the original 2001 estimates and revised 2001 estimates, allocating this across the decade. The precise methodology will require some research in order for a consistent series to be delivered. Details of the methodology used will be published alongside the interim estimates.
Revised National and Sub-national Estimates 1992 to 2000
These will provide the definitive estimates of population for the 1990s. Estimates prior to 1992 will not be changed, and existing estimates for this period should be regarded as definitive.
Production of the revised estimates will require significant time for research as well as for production and quality assurance. In order for the best possible estimates to be derived, it was not possible to commit to a timetable earlier than spring 2004.
We took this time to address a number of issues that have only come to light after publication of the existing series. Whilst the overall methodology for revisions was sound and provided estimates fit for most purposes, it did cause issues for certain limited uses, for example in constructing participation rates in education by children aged 5 to 19. Therefore, modifications to this methodology will need to be carefully researched.
Since the revised MYEs were published in February 2003, revised international migration estimates for 1992 to 2000 have become available, these were published in June 2003. In spring 2004 we undertook the complicated task of examining the possibility of incorporating these revised migration estimates into the revisions for 1992 to 2000.
Marital Status Estimates, Population Estimates for Primary Care Trusts, and Quarterly Population Estimates
The revisions to 2001 MYEs will have a knock-on impact on 2001 marital status MYEs so we will be revising 2001 marital status MYEs.
In order to complete the program of research that was required to produce revised 2001 MYEs it has been necessary to put on hold the research required to produce population estimates on Primary Care Trust boundaries. Similarly, work on the assessment of accuracy for marital status MYEs and consequent production of revised 1982 to 2000 marital status MYEs has also been delayed. We publisheed the results for marital status in early 2004, and spring 2004 for MYEs on Primary Care Trusts boundaries.
The Future
There are more lessons to be learned from the 2001 Census and it will continue to provide valuable additional insights for population estimates for some time. We will be taking on board these lessons and insights in our continuous research program. We will also be acting upon the recommendations made in the report: 'A Demographic Statistics Service for the 21st Century'. It will take time to implement these recommendations, but as we do so this will mean higher quality estimates, and estimates that can be used for a wider range of uses. We will consult with users as the research programme develops. As improved methods and sources are put in place there may be a need to revise MYEs for earlier years.
Part of the future work programme will be to develop, in consultation with users, a revisions policy for population estimates.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), in conjunction with the Home Office, has also recently published (2 September 2003) a National Statistics Quality Review on International Migration. This review will have a number of impacts that are aimed at improving the quality of migration statistics in the future, with consequent improvements for the population estimates that use these migration estimates. Here is a link to the NSQR report for international migration. ONS has published an action plan for future research aimed at implementing the recommendations of the NSQR on international migration

- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014Just amazing....I don't know how you could improve on a restraunt that seemingly has it all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic proposal celebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014I had popped the question to my fiancee earlier in the day, and we were able to enjoy just a fantastic celebratory dinner at a window table in the Top of The Hub. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience and I could not have asked for a more special night. The entire staff was very courteous and it made the ultimate romantic setting, thank you!Special Features:
- less than impressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014I had high expectations for top of the hub and was very disappointed when we finally left. It took 30 minutes to get a martini then whole dinner with drinks, an appetizer and mason course took 2 hours with a minimum wait time been sections of 15 minutes and that was for cappuccino at the end. The quality of the food is great except we got shell in our lobster cake and the pork chop was dry but the flavors were good and the lamb shank was perfect. All of my friends have wanted to go here and I've told them not to bother unless they are just going to go to the bar and see the view. Our waiter also was a bit condensing when I think he misheard us talking about the prices not being too bad and comparable to other restaurants we have visited.Special Features:
- Greeter was not very friendlyDrOrlandoDined on 9/19/2014For such a nice restaurant , you should have a very friendly and accomodating person. She seemed like a greeter in a fast food joint.. Not good at allSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Amazing Experience!MiniCoop469Dined on 9/19/2014My husband and I ate at Top of the Hub for our Babymoon in Boston. The entire experience was magical!! We had the crab cakes for an appetizer, chicken pot pie, sausage and broccoli ravioli, and mousse cake for dessert. It was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten out! The food came to us hot, fresh, and full of flavor!! The dining room experience also can't be beat, as you're sitting on top of the Prudential Center and overlooking Boston below. That -- coupled with fine linen, fine place-settings, AND a professional, courteous staff -- turns lunch or dinner into a magical experience. (They also wrote 'Congratulations' in chocolate on my dessert plate, because they knew I was expecting my first child)! An amazing experience!Special Features:
- 15th AnniversaryHighatlitudediningDined on 9/18/2014The perfect place to enjoy our 15th Anniversary evening and dinner. Staff was very friendly and patron oriented. Our server was great, very attentive. She had no problem with us wanting to have a lengthy service. Never felt rushed or pressured to eat and go. The food was amazing, on par with the spectacular skyline view. Definitely a spot to recommend and go back to.Special Features:
- Excellent View!WaltDined on 9/18/2014I've returned here a few times with friends visiting from various places. The prix-fixe menu is usually always a great option and I've enjoyed the selections in the past. Unfortunately this visit was an exception. The kale salad was very good. The pineapple tart was very nice, not too sweet. I was looking forward to the entree of fresh Hake and saffron rice. I usually always enjoy anything with saffron. Okra is just one of those things I find difficult to eat and unfortunately the rice was infused with okra and its juices- not good. Had I known the dish was garnished with cilantro and accompanied by okra I definitely would have made another choice. One other person mentioned that he's ordered chicken before and found it underdone again.Special Features:
- The View is EverythingBonwahDined on 9/16/2014This really is an astonishing view, and it makes everything else sort of unimportant. We visited for my wife's birthday and it was just right for that occasion. The food was OK, but (as with all restaurants with a view) *only* OK. Service was attentive but somehow not really smooth; waiter was friendly and interested but just didn't seem quite comfortable in the job. Salads came zooming out before we'd gotten our wine, and so on. As I say, we had a lovely time -- the setting is terrific. Wouldn't recommend it for families or large groups unless money truly is no object.Special Features:
- amazing.RM913Dined on 9/14/2014My husband and I dined here the night after our wedding. The view was spectacular. We were lucky enough to have a window table, overlooking Fenway Park and the Charles River. Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere overall was amazing. Great way to finish the best weekend ever :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Veg menuVegiDined on 9/14/2014The menu should include good vegetarian option also. We were not able to eat much and bill amount was very less - bad for you guys.Special Features:

- Love this spot!JessVIPDined on 9/13/2014This was my second time at Top of the Hub, and again I was not disappointed. The food, amazing service and not to mention, the beautiful panoramic view of Boston, makes the experience one to remember. Will definitely head there again very soon!Special Features:
- A must visit in BostonJamonDined on 9/13/2014Excellent tasting menu along with wine pairing. The service was impeccable. You will not find a better view. A MUST if visiting Boston.Special Features:
- Resting on its tired old laurelsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014This was a very unimpressive experience and hardly worth the view that makes it famous. Our server did a decent job, but felt bad for him as he was representing a kitchen that seems to be going though the motions for this tired old tourist trap. I sent my cold soup back twice before giving up and also sent back a cold side dish. When I raised these issues to the mgr. at the end of the night, she was combative & cited all the good reviews they get (hah!). I guess food temperature is in the palate of the beholder. Our entrees (steak & a veal sirloin) were just OK. This restaurant needs a serious makeover in its 70's style decor, its blase attitude and uninspiring food and menu. C'mon ownership - how 'bout a little effort????!!!!
- DineOutOftenDineOutOftenVIPDined on 9/13/2014We were celebrating the anniversary of another couple and the restaurant was very attentive to that, which we appreciated. Our waiter was fabulous and service was very good, even though the place was mobbed. Overall it was a good experience, but the noise level was so high that we could not talk across the table and the temperature was so cold that we were looking for coats to put on. The food was good, but the prices were very high, making the expectations greater.Special Features:
- I thought the menu could have more!OverpricedDined on 9/12/2014Service great, too pricey, not enough choices on the menu.Special Features:
- You are paying for the view.dubnobassDined on 9/12/2014The food is disappointing and overpriced. Why would they need to impress tourists who are never going to come back anyway? Insulted that they would not seat us by the window even though there were at least 2 window tables open. The hostess said they were "expecting someone". We had reservations too; was she not expecting us? Those tables went unused for 40+ minutes while we lamented over the food with no incredible view to make up for it.Special Features:
- Amazing experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Went with my boyfriend for our 4 year anniversary. We both had salmon with a martini, it was delicious! And the service was on point. No complaintsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the wait...GaryDined on 9/12/2014Had a 7pm reservation for my daughters 8th birthday only to be asked to wait to be seated in an area that didn't have a place to sit and waited more than a half hour standing with two kids before the hostess came to get us. Food was just OK and way overpriced.
- NancieVIPDined on 9/12/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday and could not be more pleased with the food, service, and view. Will definitely return again soon.Special Features:
- good date placeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/12/2014Top of the Hub is a great place to take someone on a romantic date if they haven't seen Boston. Try and go after its dark for a better ambiance. The food is not that great for the price but the drinks are really nice.Special Features:

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Matt Jones rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown and Tyler Murphy threw for 156 yards and a score as No. 20 Florida beat Kentucky 24-7 on Saturday night, its 27th straight win over the Wildcats.
Murphy also rushed for a 3-yard TD in his first career start for the Gators (3-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference), who closed a difficult week on a high note after losing starting quarterback Jeff Driskel and defensive tackle Dominique Easley to season-ending injuries.
Jones outgained Kentucky by himself while he and Murphy provided all of the Gators' touchdowns in the first half to extend the longest active winning streak over a major opponent. Florida gave Gator wide receivers coach Joker Phillips a happy return after his firing last fall as Wildcats coach.
Joe Mansour's 25-yard run on a fake field goal was the only TD for Kentucky (1-3, 0-1), which was outgained 402-173.

He owns the second ever Macintosh computer sold in Europe, and has never met a smartphone he hasn't bought. To introduce his new column, Stephen Fry explains why he's deeply dippy for all things digital
Digital devices rock my world. This might be looked on by some as a tragic admission. Not ballet, opera, the natural world, Stephen? Not literature, theatre or global politics? Even sport would be less mournfully inward and dismally unsociable.
Well, people can be dippy about all things digital and still read books, they can go to the opera and watch a cricket match and apply for Led Zeppelin tickets without splitting themselves asunder. Very little is as mutually exclusive as we seem to find it convenient to imagine. In our culture we are becoming more and more fixated with an "it's one thing or the other" mentality. You like Thai food? But what's wrong with Italian? Woah, there… calm down. I like both. Yes. It can be done. I can like rugby football and the musicals of Stephen Sondheim. High Victorian Gothic and the installations of Damien Hirst. Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass and the piano works of Hindemith. English hymns and Richard Dawkins. First editions of Norman Douglas and iPods. Snooker, darts and ballet. Such a list isn't a boast, it doesn't make one an all-rounder to rival Michelangelo, it's how humans are constructed. Adaptable, varied, versatile. So, believe me, a love of gizmos doesn't make me averse to paper, leather and wood, old-fashioned Christmases, Preston Sturges films and country walks. Nor does it automatically mean I read Terry Pratchett, breathe only through my mouth and bring my head slightly too close to the bowl when I eat soup. (None of the above, I grant you, excuses a 50-year-old for saying that anything "rocks his world"; that's just too horrid and must stop.)
I blogged on my (this) website a few weeks ago explaining my long-standing passion for all kinds of gizmos. I have never met a smartphone I haven't bought, I wrote. And so now, all juiced up by that experience, I am to bring to you every week in this paper a technology column of sorts, in which I will attempt to share my passion for the new; to review, rave over and ramble on about the latest arrivals in the field of digiware, and occasionally to stand back and survey the field.
When WH Auden produced his collection of critical writings, The Dyer's Hand, he first laid out a list of his preferences and predispositions, believing it right that the reader should know what sort of person they were encountering and be able thereby to form a judgment of his opinions in the light of his prejudices. I ought to do the same.
It is true that I have a great admiration, sometimes only just short of reverence, for the elegances and brilliances that have emerged from my favourite address in the world: 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California, the home of Apple Computers. I am lucky enough to count their chief designer, boy genius Jonathan Ive, as a friend. I bought the second Macintosh sold in Europe back in 1984 (Douglas Adams bought the first). I currently have about 10 on the go. But I also have more than one PC. I could not pursue my love of the digital without those, too. And it certainly would not be fair or right for me to expatiate on technology without a proper understanding of the operating system employed by more than 90% of all users. I run Windows XP and Vista. Linux, too, in different distributions, including Mark Shuttleworth's increasingly popular Ubuntu, although I also take Red Hat's Fedora and Yellow Dog out for a run from time to time. It is very important to me that you believe that I will be as impartial as I can be in the great schism that has riven computing since the mid-80s. You might be amused by Umberto Eco's writing on this subject if you don't already know it: simongrant.org/web/eco.html.
What do I think is the point of a digital device? Is it all about function? Or am I a "style over substance" kind of a guy? Well, that last question will get my hackles up every time. As if style and substance are at war! As if a device can function if it has no style. As if a device can be called stylish that does not function superbly. Don't get me started …

Confrontation bringing wargame to PC in April
Cyanide Studio did a decent job of turning a tabletop game into a video game with Blood Bowl, and soon we'll get to see its stab at another adaptation in Confrontation. Based on the vintage miniatures wargame by Rackham, it's coming to PC on April 5, publisher Focus Home Interactive announced today.
Confrontation's a splash of tactical combat, a dose of RPG, and a pinch of fantasy. Your squad persists across missions (missions to kill things), gaining experience, adding new units, levelling up and gearing up as you go.
Here's the first trailer, with a peek at the world of Aarklash:

Vulpix - You are very energetic, courageous and quick witted! You love attention. However, you might find yourself being impulsive and impatient, and possibly be a little bit selfish.
Growlithe - You are patient, reliable, loyal and very detirmined to achieve your goals. Be careful of becoming possessive, self-indulgent or greedy, though.
Eevee - You're very adaptive of any environment you happen to find yourself in. You're also very intellectual and witty. However, a cunning person like you might find themselves being nervous, tense and afraid of imperfection.
Mew - You're a sympathetic person, so you may find that other people's joys and sorrows become your own. You're also cautious, and can be very protective of those close to you. You may have a habit of being overemotional or moody, and you probably find it hard to leg go of things you love.
Wigglytuff - You're probably the most generous and warmhearted person you know. Your enthusiasm causes people to like being around you. You're faithful, and very loving. However, you might find yourself becoming bossy and patronizing without noticing.
Dragonair - You are a pretty modest person, right? And shy, as well. You're a very good listener, and very diligent, too! You're incredibly intelligent and analytical. On the downside, you might find yourself worrying about many things, including not being perfect. You also may come across as harsh sometimes, intentional or not.
Persian - You have a lot of charm. You're a very easy going person, and you're very sociable. You might even be called a flirt! You're also quite changeable, or easily influenced, so be careful who you hang out with. Try your best to make your own decisions.
Pikachu - When you know what you want, you're detirmined to get it and can be very forceful about it. You're very passionate about many things. People are drawn to you because of your exciting, electric personality. You may have a habit of becoming jealous or resentful, though, and you can also be very secretive.
Clefairy - You are definitely an optimist. You enjoy the feeling of being free, and don't let heavy emotions weigh you down. You're a very honest and straightforward person. Sometimes, though, your optimism blinds you from the truth, and causes you to be careless and irresponsible.
Haunter - You're a very practical person, and also very disciplined. People may look up to you for that. You're also very humorous- on purpose or simply by accident! However, you may tend to be very pessimistic and judgemental. Lighten up!
Bulbasaur - You are very friendly, honest and loyal. You're very good at using your imagination, and have many original thoughts. You're also very good at being indepdent- you probably prefer to be alone in a lot of your free time. You're not very emotional, though, and you tend to be unpredictable. Don't be afraid to show your emotions.
Lapras - You're very sensitive to the world around you. You try your best to be kind to others, and help out as much as you possibly can. You rarely worry about your own needs- you're happy as long as the ones you care about are. However, you're very idealistic, and feel let down when things don't go as planned. You may also be easily led.

By Lauren Vinopal, Hollywood Staff
This week's episode starts with Dr. Mindy Lahiri talking to her food. Expressing her self-discipline to a bear-claw is one of many human insights that makes The Mindy Project a great comedy series. Creator Mindy Kaling was overlooked for the 2013 Emmys, but not likely for long. She seems to be following in the footsteps of Tina Fey, who vacated a spot in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category. Her deep connection to food is no coincidence.
What makes Kaling's character so interesting is that it seems so genuine. She is girly, dramatic, and a little spoiled: all words not likely to be used describing Liz Lemon. Yet both characters are a means to the same end. They are honest, original, and yet provoke the reaction of "I'm just like her."
It's no accident that The Mindy Project has been similarly successful in creating the funniest female protagonist. It is the product of a great writing staff falling into place, including 30 Rock's Jack Burditt and Tracey Wigfield. Combining them with writers from Community and The Office has created something new, but with a Lemon foundation as the backbone.
Kaling is literally falling into Fey's footsteps as a gifted physical comedian. This week's episode started with Kaling colliding with a sexually attractive loser. Her physical failings around men are what sets the RomCom-turned-on-its-head tone. Kaling has killed with this all season, whether she's crowd-surfing or just wearing a whipped cream one-piece. Wit is important, but a body gone rogue is still timelessly funny.
Kaling cares more about her characterization than what she looks like. Great comedic actresses (and actors!) all have one thing in common: they're not afraid to look bad. She is able to do this while being convincing as a woman who cares about being pretty. This contrast is the heart of most funny and relatable females, a blend of chaos and confidence. Kaling even sported short hair (which totally didn't suit her) for the sake of a storyline, which is the Oscar equivalent of wearing facial prosthetics to look ugly.
The Mindy Project is proving to be one of the best new comedies on TV. With her own brand of absurd hyper-femininity, Kaling is taking over for Liz Lemon while providing a girlier counterpoint that's uniquely hers. Her beautiful blend of slob and princess is worth recognizing, even awarding.
