Package ksim-3.5.10-3
|KDE - system monitor (3.5.10-3)

(see downloads) * CPU plugin that can monitor CPU usage.
|Usage Hints:
---[ Installation ]--------------------------------------------------- To install all of the official KDE packages, install "bundle-kde" or "bundle-kde-ssl" (depending on whether crypotgraphic laws permit downloading strong cryptography). Unless you have a specific reason not to, "bundle-kde-ssl" is suggested. ---[ Configuration ]-------------------------------------------------- To use KDE as your windowing system in XDarwin, create a file called ".xinitrc" in your home directory, containing the following line: /sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1 See http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc for more information on the xinitrc files and how they work. If you want to use Apple's X11 instead of the KDE window manager, put the following line before the startkde line in .xinitrc: export KDEWM=quartz-wm If you want to disable quartz-wm even for clipboard synchronization (proxying), put the following line before the startkde line in .xinitrc: export DISABLE_PROXY=1 ---[ Startup ]-------------------------------------------------------- Once you have created an ~/.xinitrc file, you should be able to start KDE by clicking on the "XDarwin" icon in your Applications folder. NOTE: By default, X11 on Mac OS X runs in "rootless" mode, generally. If you run KDE in rootless mode, it will take over your desktop with a window that covers everything up. You can remove this by disabling desktop icons in the KDE control center. Open the control center (either from the "K" menu bar, or by typing "kcontrol" in an xterm) then expand the "Desktop" list, click "Behavior", and uncheck the "Show icons on desktop" checkbox. ---[ Removal ]-------------------------------------------------------- To remove all of the official KDE packages, you can remove the KDE libraries and anything that depends on them by running, in a terminal: sudo apt-get remove kdelibs3-unified-shlibs To remove an individual KDE package collection (like kdenetwork3 or kdesdk3) you can generally remove [package]-base. For example, to remove all of the kdenetwork3 packages, run: sudo apt-get remove kdenetwork3-base

Secretary Clinton Congratulates Winners of First Apps4Africa Competition
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton today congratulated the winners of the first Apps4Africa competition, which brought together local technology entrepreneurs to build tools that serve the needs of local NGOs and their communities.
"Your work to develop 21st century solutions to Africa's challenges is a powerful example of what individuals can do to shape a dynamic, successful future," the Secretary said in a video message.
Launched in July 2010, in Nairobi, Kenya by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Judith McHale, Apps4Africa generated more than 20 entries from Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania. Civil society groups and citizens challenged program developers to find innovative technological solutions to everyday problems on issues ranging from transparency and governance to health and education. The competition builds on Secretary Clinton's Civil Society 2.0 initiative and helps civil society use digital technology to connect to their communities and develop innovative solutions to shared problems. Key private sector partners include iHub, Appfrica Labs and SODNET.
Live stream here:
A panel of judges chose winning projects based on their potential to have a measurable impact and their creativity and ingenuity. A full list of winners and prizes follows:
- First Place: iCow, a voice-based mobile application that helps farmers track the oestrus stages of their cows. This application can enable farmers everywhere to better manage breeding periods as well as monitor cow nutrition leading up to the calving day. This will help farmers get the most of their cows and their farms.
From Kenya, Charles Kithika is the first place winner receiving $5,000 and an Apple iPad.
- Second Place: Kleptocracy Fighters Inc. allows citizens to record and report real time information on government corruption. Reports can include: audio, video, text, and are meant to be both positive and negative. Reports will be forwarded to legal and media partners to help publish cases of corruption. This application has potential to help build trust, accountability and transparency around the world.
The second place winners received $3,000 USD and a Nokia N900.
- Third Place Winner: Mamakiba is a patient-facing SMS savings calculator and prepayment tracking tool specifically designed to help low-income women save and prepay for their maternal health needs such as ante-natal care and clinical delivery. Many women struggle financially, and this application can help teach the value of budget planning and provide lifesaving care for women and their families.
Jane Del Sur, Geoffrey Muthondu , John Wesonga jointly developed "Mamakiba", our third place winner receives and shares $2,000 and a Sprint HTC Desire.
Honorable Mentions each received $200 and are as follows:
- Fogs Funeral Announcements, developed by Alex Gitonga, is an application for generating death and funeral announcements via text message. Radio and newspaper are costly in the region. Fog will allow users to cheaply and easily draft, edit and send these types of messages to ensure they reach friends, family, former schoolmates and colleagues – an important Kenyan custom.
- Kenya Constituency Development Fund : Community Tracking and Mapping was developed by Jamila Amin and Mikel Maron. This application allows Kenyans to easily view both official and on-the-ground details of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) projects that are ongoing in Kibera, a neighborhood of Nairobi and the world's second largest slum. This application will review and map submitted reports on the real status of aid and development projects on the ground, in contrast to official government reports, as well as allocated amounts, contractor details, photographs, and geographic locations. This evidence-based monitoring, combined with the communication power of maps and the web, serves as a powerful advocacy tool for improved accountability of development funds in Kenya.
- Ujuzi was developed by Ahmed Mohamed Maawy as a mobile resource locator application aimed at helping low income populations living in poor areas worldwide to locate useful resources like organizations, services, assets and personnel in their region. This free service has huge potential because it takes readily available information and creatively provides it in a useful, easy to access way.
Apps4Africa is the first in a series of regional competitions that the State Department will help convene, host and connect in Africa.

Read previous negative reviews and was plesantly surprised. Negative reviews are addressed as follows: THICKNESS: not thick or thin, adequate thickness for use as a bedspread. Its does not look like its a pillow when placed on the bed. Again, I believe its intended use is as a white bedspread due to intricate pattern. I place it over my comforter when I make the bed and looks amazing - just like in the picture. True comforters are measured in "ounces of fill" this one is adequate for use as a lightweight comforter though I would not reccomend since it wrinkles easily if used as a comforter for daily use. COLOR: white is a true bright white not ivory or cream. QUALITY: Its polyester but very soft. there are no smells. Again, I purchsed for use as a decorative bedspread so I will dry clean it and not risk ruining pattern or accidentlaly shrink by washing in water. VERY DELICATE: one review stated it was falling apart by making the bed and just pulling, Not true, maybe they were very rough and broke the stitching when pulling the fabric or the one they received was damaged. It can be handled normally without damaging the fabric or stictching. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. Again my intent was to use it as a bedspread and not comforter. I have been searching desperatly for a True White bedspread that was very rich looking and inviting at a reasonable price. I found it in the Carmen white comforter. Comparable comforters other online stores M***ys and P*****ry B**n were $200 - $400 price range and ruched instead of diamonmd pattern - this pattern when found was closer to $400 in other stores.
Ordered white and gray. The white is a bright white, exactly what I wanted. The gray one is darker than in the picture. At night with the overhead light on it almost looked like it had army green in it. Was too dark for what I wanted, but was still pretty. Also, ordered it in a king for my queen size bed. It is an extra thick mattress and the king is a little to big but the queen size was a little too small, so kept the king size. This is a light to medium weight comforter. I am very pleased with it and like the way it looks on my bed.
This product would make a wonderful addition to any bedroom. The color I ordered, blue, is bright and really perks up my room. The best thing is this comforter stays in place overnight unlike another one I have that always seems to slide toward the bottom of the bed. It is nice and fluffy and very cozy to sleep under without a lot of weight on top of you.
The color is true to the picture, I ordered the beige. In the photo is appears the shams are euro shams but they are not, they are standard shams but nonetheless very nice. As expected when it arrived it was quite wrinkled from being packaged but just a few spritzs with the iron and steam and it looks fantastic. Even the little throw pillow it comes with looks great after a little steam wrinkle release. Great value for the price! Pair it with a different color coverlet and your bed will pop! I've spent so much money on bedding sets in the past and I love this one the most!
This comforter set is great! I went for the taupe because the white looked too bright and it was more beige than I wanted. I was hoping for off white like it looked in the picture. But none the less the pattern looks cool and the set is soft and warm. I love it.
Very warm and comfortable. Lays perfectly on the bed. Seams are straight and the product seems to be nicely manufactured. The colors are warm and vibrant.
Color is perfect for my bedroom decor! Love the detail and matching pillow.
Not a bad piece for the value. One of the pleats was undone, but it took 2 minutes to stitch back. Expected it to be a little heavier, but it still look great in my client's guest bedroom.
Similar sets are so much more expensive in the catalogs. I've been eyeballing the ones at W*st E** for a long time and I'm so glad for overstock to get one just like that one but so much cheaper. It is soft and silky with a slight sheen. It is thick enough not to appear at all shabby on the bed- looks exactly like the picture in this regard. It is also not super thick, which I did not want living in Florida. I cannot speak as to how it holds up as I just received it. After reading the reviews, I too ordered the king for a queen size bed and the size is perfect. Of course when you order the king for a queen you will also get king size shams, but it's an easier fix than a comforter that is too short. I ordered the taupe and it is not even close to taupe. I actually think the color is much prettier than what is pictured so I'm fine with that. I would call it a dark cream color with an ever so slight yellow undertone. It may appear like a champagne depending on what color is on your walls. The set I received is definitely not taupe, tan or khaki. The batting does not feel top-of-the-line when you squeeze it but is is very comfortable and does not look cheap at all on the bed. It looks elegant and modern and you feel like you are sleeping in fluffy clouds. For under $**for the entire set, I am thrilled with it so far. I will probably dry clean rather than wash due to the pintuck stitching.
Expected a better quality comforter. still very good and usable but would not buy again with this price.

For those folks who don't know, the Mazda RX-8 R3 Edition features a new sport pack consisting in a re-designed front bumper, new side skirts and rear wing spoiler, Recaro sport buckets and stylish 19" alloy wheels. According to the Japanese manufacturer the new edition promises to deliver more stability and better steering due to the new Bilstein sports suspension kit. Mazda announced that the pricing for the new R3 Edition will be approximately £25,000 or $50,000.
Launched in 2003, the Mazda RX-8 hit the global market with a serious bang. The RX-8 has won more than 50 global awards since its release including 2003 RJC Car of the Year in Japan Australia's Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 2003, 2003 International Engine of the Year, 2004 Singapore Car of the Year, the 2004 U.S. Best Sports Car and UK Car of the Year 2004. It was also named on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2004, 2005, and 2006. All together, Mazda has sold nearly 167,000 RX-8s around the world.
Mazda will unveil the facelift RX-8 in a few days at the Detroit Auto Show. The company decided to release two official images so people can make an idea of what to expect, but as you can see many others were leaked.
Mazda will unveil the facelift RX-8 in just a few days at the Detroit Auto Show. Question is will it look like in this scanning images? The facelift RX-8 features new front fascia with adjusted grille, wider headlamps and the fog-lights have been placed higher while the LED rear lights have received a rounder look.
As we reported yesterday, Mazda will unveil at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show a heavily revised new RX-8 sports car. According to Auto Motor Und Sport, this faceift will be followed by a completely new generation sometimes in 2013.
Mazda Motor Corporation will showcase the world premieres of the Mazda Furai concept vehicle and the heavily revised new Mazda RX-8 sports car at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), to be held in Detroit from Sunday, January 13 through Sunday, January 27, 2008. On the heels of its show-stopping debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show in October, the Mazda Taiki concept vehicle also will make its North American debut, the first time it has been shown outside Japan.
To celebrate a unique anniversary – it is 40 years since Mazda launched its first rotary powered car, the Mazda Cosmo Sport back in 1967 – Mazda is releasing a strictly limited number of its latest rotary model, the Mazda RX -8 40th Anniversary Limited Edition. Just 400 examples of this very special four-seat coupé model will be available in the UK, priced at £24,595 (on-the-road), each identified by its own unique number.
The revolutionary Mazda RX-8 four-seater, four-door sports coupé is now available with 0% finance and a new optional Sport Pack priced at £350 – offering a customer saving of £1,400. Available for all models, the Sport Pack comprises Eibach lowered sports suspension, unique Bright Silver 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured aerodynamic side skirts, a satin-silver fuel filler cap and dramatic body-side RX-8 graphics.
To commemorate forty years of Mazda's rotary engine vehicles sold globally, Mazda Motor Corporation has commenced sales of a limited edition model Mazda RX-8 throughout Japan. The RX-8 Rotary Engine 40th Anniversary edition is available from today at all Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships.

They finished the season on a six-game losing streak and wound up third in the division, but ESPN.com's Insiders sees the Braves as perhaps the NL East favorite in 2010. (Link requires registration.) Insiders quotes one unnamed "longtime NL scout" as saying, "That's a team that has the pitching to run down the Phillies next year."
More from Insiders Buster Olney and Shawn Hoffman:
"Atlanta needs a bopper. It's maybe the one missing ingredient. The Braves appear poised for a breakthrough season, in what Cox says will be his last year as the team's manager. Atlanta is flush with starting pitching, from Javier Vazquez to Tommy Hanson, and has some excellent young prospects expected to rise into the major leagues — outfielder Jason Heyward, most notably. A 20-year-old slugger with exceptional plate discipline, Heyward reminded his Double-A manager of Darryl Strawberry. Atlanta is expected by rival GMs to be very aggressive in its search for a right-handed hitter, whether it be a left or right fielder or a first or third baseman …
"Atlanta is abuzz with word that the Braves will take aim at a big right-handed bat. How about Dan Uggla or even Miguel Tejada? Outfield offers big targets like Matt Holliday and Jason Bay, but you'd think the Braves would stay cheaper. Hello, Gary Sheffield? We'll see, but a bat is surely in the equation …
"All things considered, 2009 was a massive improvement on 2008, and they could easily be the favorites to win the NL East going into 2010 if they can improve in a couple of spots. The outfield, for one, wouldn't be a bad place to start; Garret Anderson … leaves a lot to be desired, and the Braves would be hard-pressed to find someone who will give them less value in left field next year. As for right field, 2010 will likely be the start of the Jason Heyward era in Atlanta, which should give them a boost over this year's Jeff Francoeur/Ryan Church/Matt Diaz triumvirate. If the rotation can hold some of its gains, and Chipper Jones can at least maintain his current level, the Braves could be very, very tough."
OK, my two cents. Don't really see where Tejada or Uggla would play here. Don't really think the Braves could afford Holliday or Bay. Don't really think Sheffield is an answer. (Tried that already, didn't they?) Do think the Braves are positioned to win the division next year, but I think a key to the offseason now becomes what to do about the guy who finished 2009 at first base. And so …
Also today: What should the Braves do with Adam LaRoche?
And then: Why the Braves must keep Greg Norton at all costs!
October 6th, 2009
1:07 am
Keep LaRoche and bring up Heyward.
Rotation next year should be Vasquez, Jurrjens, Hanson, Lowe, Hudson.
Those changes alone set us apart.
October 6th, 2009
1:25 am
We have to keep LaRoche. I Like what he brings to the table. Besides he was a baby brave.
October 6th, 2009

I agree with Josh. But I'll have to add this: fortify the bench (let's say good-bye to Norton), and keep both Gonzalez and Soriano.

Bring up heyward. and sign one superfast guy and we will go to the series. Maybe trade a starter for a juan pierre type player
October 6th, 2009

…is getting up there in age and we already have Yunel Escobar and Sheffield probably only has a few years left. And going on the speed topic how about making a run at Dexter Fowler in Colorado although i doubt they would be willing to trade him.
October 6th, 2009
1:53 am
Of the players mentioned in the article, only Uggla makes a little sense but I think it would still be hard to trade in division. I'm jut hoping they dont trade Vazquez for the big right handed bopper.
October 6th, 2009

If the Braves can trade Derek Lowe, the Team should resign Laroche, but only for 2 years. Freddie Freeman will be ready by 2011 and doesn't need to be blocked. In addition, they should look at Xavier Nady and Mike Cameron on 1 year contracts. Nady can play Rightfield until Heyward comes up in June(The Braves will leave him at AAA so he doesn't become a Super2 player like they did Hanson this Year) Diaz in Leftfield, Cameron in a platoon in Centerfield with McLouth. Nady and Cameron would add 2 RH hitters with 20+ HR power.
October 6th, 2009
2:02 am
I think the Braves are The team to beat if they keep LaRoche! Bring up Heyward to play right field, and Jordan S. to play left. Diaz can be the fourth outfielder. Prado can be the starter at second and play third when Chipper is not in the line up. Kelly johnson can be a fifth outfielder and back up second when prado plays third base ( which will be about 60 to 100 games).
If the Braves are serious about a run at a title, they need to trade Chipper. I hate to say it but he is old, very injury prone, and half the player be used to be. Maybe try and package Chipper, Lowe, and 2 prospects for A-Rod or a Roy Holliday.

Enter your comments here Question for you Mark. Who was the player that was drafted by Atlanta and played QB for Oregon or Oregon State and where is he now? I thought that he was highly thought of.
October 6th, 2009
2:19 am
I've always thought Cody Ross do well in Atlanta. Not the biggest bopper, but I think he had 25 or so this year, and he can field. He's under contract, and the Marlins have a younger guy they like in center.
October 6th, 2009
2:44 am
Well, one of the six starters is gone, that we know. Which one is anybody's guess. Trade is the key word here when and if the Braves acquire a bat. The connection between trading one starter and getting that big right handed bat has to be made.
Chipper has already reiterated the obvious, LaRoche has to be resigned. Ditto For either Soriano and or Gonzo. Bringing both back would be nice but there are budget concerns.
The 800 pound Elephant in the blog is the outfield. It's a mess and has been for two years running. McLouth and Diaz are a start. Will Schafer and Heyward contribute? Youth, defense and speed are key words to live by if it is to be improved upon.
I have two names for Frank Wren, one of which I screamed for last year: Nelson Cruz. Would the Rangers part with the young slugger for a pitcher? I don't know but it won't hurt to ask.
The other is a sleeper and a big one in a mighty might sort of way. Luis Durango. The dude is lightning in a bottle. No power, all legs and one of the fastest players to hit the big leagues in years. He's Otis Nixon reborn. Pure blazing destruction on the base paths which can only help our Braves anemic running game. The Padres have a glut of young talented outfielders and no room for the lead off hitter. His key career stat: 232 walks against 193 K's just screams big league. Not to mention his two minor league batting championships or career .422 OBP. Opportunity is knocking, will Frank Wren answer the door?
Adding a couple of reliable middle relief arms won't hurt either. The Twins Jose Mijares is in his managers doghouse. His 2.34 ERA in 70 appearances equals opportunity……again.
October 6th, 2009
3:16 am
Are some of you off your rockers? Remember that we are talking about the Braves here. We don't throw money at free agents (except pitchers). We will have to trade young talent for a proven, yet questionable, hitter. Laroche is a guy who would be a smart resign in the sense that he wants to stay and that he already gets our team concept and has bought in to it long ago. But when have we ever resign relief talent. It seems that we also manage to let our RPs go and replace them with capable talent.
We should add a power bat to left field. Resign Laroche to play first. Let Heyward have his shot (providing he has a good fall league) and have Infante sub in whenever Chipper is too acky to go.
October 6th, 2009

If they trade Javier it could be another long season with no playoffs…can't let your top pitcher go and be left with back three of Hudson, Lowe and KK…just don't see that working out very well.
Gotta get a bat or two and keep the main pitchers…would love to see Lowe clear his locker out and never return.
October 6th, 2009
5:41 am
October 6th, 2009
6:10 am
I think they should re-sign LaRoche and leave it at that for now. Heyward may be ready for RF already and Schafer was hitting the cover off the ball until he injured his wrist – if he's fully recovered by March, give him a shot at CF and move Nate to LF.
The Braves were just fine after they dealt Francouer and inserted Martin at 2B. They just need a little more pop and a little more consistency at the top of the lineup to make this thing take off.
October 6th, 2009
6:18 am
Mark, As for the Braves being the "team to beat". That remains to be seen. We had a very good season in 2009, that ended on a sour note.
As we know, one of our six starters needs to go. I personally hope we trade Derek Lowe. He;s getting on in years, and did not have a good 2009. I again say that to trade Javy Vazquez would be a huge, huge blunder. He's much younger than Lowe, and has more of an upside. After intially not that Tim Hudson would be re signed, I now think the Braves will come to some kind of deal with him. He may take a big discount to remain here.
Also imperative is to re sign Laroche. I say give him two years, with a team option for a third, with a cheap buyout, if Freddie Freeman is ready by 2012. We need Laroche's power.
There is no reason this team can't win 90 games, and snare at least a wild card in 2010. As for whether we can take the division from the Phillies, that remains to be seen.
October 6th, 2009
6:45 am
How can you be the team to beat when you just lost 6 straight to blow the playoffs and haven't corrected any of your holes?
Let's wait 'til Wren makes some moves to determine if we're the team to beat.
No way we go into the season with all of these starters, though. Hudson or Vazquez is out.
October 6th, 2009
6:52 am
Dennis Dickson is the young man from Oregon, but I am not for sure where he is at now. I thought he was a pitcher but I am unsure.
Laroche needs resigned I agree. The bat needs to come from somewhere but not any of what ESPN speculated. Sheffield really? He's like 41-42? And you pay for that mess?
October 6th, 2009
7:15 am
You have returned to being a goober after you finally had the courage to discuss Bobby Cox. Did you see how this Bobby Cox team finished off the season? 0-7!
So, the Braves management caves in to pity and sympathy and now we have to watch this lackadaisical effort and horribly managed team another year and you ask if this is the team to beat? Hilarious! This decision to waste another year on dwindling crowds and lost enthusiasm is why after 19 season as a season ticket holder (Hank Aaron section, right behind the plate) that I have elected to not renew for 2010. I'll spend my $10,000 where I can enjoy it rather than, like this year, giving all but 2-3 games away so I am not angry with the dumb decisions, bored completely out of my mind with the hackers and slackers, and eager to leave by the 7th inning knowing that Bobby hasn't a clue how to manage a close game.
As exemplified by the last 7 games of this regular season, his mismanagement of players from April – June, and his 1-14 record in the last game of the postseason, let me say it just one more time:
"In the end
it will not matter
with Bobby Cox
as the Manager"
Larry (Author of the 1-14 last game postseason record record that Mark fails to comprehend or recognize as a real stat–just like the stat of W/L record of the opening game of a season. Everything is a stat in baseball!)

LaRoche will start the year hitting .230 with very little power and we'll all say in unison…….What were the Braves thinking? The guy is a TERRIBLE 1st half ball player. HE'S ALWAYS BEEN SLOW OUT THE GATE! The problem is; there's really no better options AVAILABLE for The Braves. We can throw Freeman's name around but the guy hasn't played 1 inning in the majors. Right now he's just WISHFUL THINKING. The moves Frank Wren made last year made the 2009 Braves BETTER! I expect he'll do the same for the 2010 Braves.
October 6th, 2009
7:25 am
Enter your comments here— I think the Braves should bring in Heyward and maybe platoon him early with Diaz, the right handed hitter I would go after is Mark DaRosa (he can play multiple positions and has good right handed power plus he loves Atlanta). I would keep Judson maybe try to sign he and Vasques for 2 or 3 years to keep the rotation really solid.
The braves will need to address the closer role (maybe Moylan), but other than O'…..flarety and Medlin they are really thin. Could they trade Lowe to the Red Sox for two young pitchers that maybe could start in the pen ??
October 6th, 2009
7:30 am
You're fooling yourselves if you think Vazquez will be anything like he was this year in 2010.
Also, LaRoche had his typical second half explosion. But let's see how much you all like him when he's hitting .240 through June. If he doesn't come cheap, he needs to go.
Trade Vazquez while his value is at his career peak. Use him to get a LF or 1B.
October 6th, 2009
7:38 am
Agree rhynster, Vazquez has never pitched like he did this year. And can't be counted on to do it again. LaRoche will not hit .240 in the first half and to add, there is not a night in and night out closer on this team. Gonzo and Soriano can't go back to back nights and be effective.
October 6th, 2009

Please stop writing these "sports-only" columns. Don't you know that readers come here to read political snark. I am not interested in your opinion about the Braves.

October 6th, 2009
7:47 am
Random thoughts here:
1. Before we get carried away, remember that this team finished THIRD in the division – never sniffed the Phillies
2. They only took off after the Reds home sweep & the pressure was off – once they got close again they showed who they really were
3. Chipper is breaking down – if you think he's good for more than 120 games you're kidding yourself
4. Lost 7 in a row to finish – nice heart
5. LaRouche was in a contract drive – beware
All things considered – not a bad improvement – they still need another quantum leap to contend.
October 6th, 2009
7:50 am
The team to beat? LOL. That's pretty comical when you consider the Phillies will be even better next year when they get their bullpen back end straightened out, plus have some stud prospect pitchers ready to go. And then there's the Mets, who were only where they were this year due to the amazingly bad string of luck they had with injuries. And you KNOW they have the cash to at least TRY to fix what's broken, not that that guarantees anything. Another third place finish again next year.
October 6th, 2009
7:52 am
Dan Uggla? No thanks. There are other 30 h.r. hitters that can hit over .250 and can play outfield.
October 6th, 2009
7:57 am
Braves tried bringing up a youngster for center this year and it did not work. Probably won't work next year either. Players are ready for the majors when they are ready, not when the major league club is ready.
The Braves have 6 starting pitchers. Trade one for the right hand bat.

Keep Infante, Ross 6. Teach Nate how to drag bunt this winter 7. request Bobby work the stolen base agenda and 8. Whoever is in bullpen don't make them work 85-90 games!!!
October 6th, 2009
8:12 am
Why does everyone continually diss Diaz–he's proven he can hit, run, and play a decent outfield. Put him in left and let him play! Use others (Schaffer) to platoon with him not the reverse. I agree with the DeRosa comment–always been one of my favorites and hoped we would get him this year for the supposed run.
October 6th, 2009
8:27 am
Phillies are thr team to beat in the N.L East.
A full year of Cliff Lee….a rejuvinated Cole Hamels….not to mention the young stud Kyle Drabek.
The Phillies won 93 games with 11 blown saves and still tanked at the end of the season. With a healthy bullpen and full year of Lee, theres no reason to believe Philly wont push 100 wins next year.
Are the Braves a 100 win team?…..time will tell but I have my doubts. Javier Vazques had a career year las year…will he repeat that?….will Hanson suffer the all-too common sophomore slump when his innings increase?
Phillies are clearly team to beat until they are beaten
October 6th, 2009
8:34 am
Enter your comments here The Phillies have better players at every starting postion exept catcher. That includes 3rd base where Feliz had a better year than Chipper Jones. The pitching is very close. Beat them first, then talk.
October 6th, 2009
8:44 am
2009 is over and its time to spend some money in order to make a run in 2010.
1. Keep Vasquez
2. Pick-up Hudson's option.
3. Keep LaRoche
4. Sign Jason Bay
You can never have too much pitching and trading Vasquez for a bat would be a stupid move plus who knows how Hudson's arm will play out over a full season.
Re-sign Hudson as he wants to stay here.
Bay is a good character and clubhouse guy, has played in the AL and NL (with Pirates and LaRoche), and would solidify one outfield spot. Let Diaz have the other and bring Heyward up middle of next year after a half season at AAA.
See what McLouth can do from the start hitting in the Braves line-up and bring Schafer up if he's healthy to get some spot duty.
As much as I love him, let GA walk (he did what we asked him to do) and I don't really see Church in our future beyond 2010.
Frank needs to tell Cox that Prado is his second baseman and if anyone is moving to the outfield, its Kelly Johnson.
Keep Infante and please for the love of all that is holy, let Norton walk.
With Nate, Prado, Escobar, Chipper, McCann, Bay, Diaz, and LaRoche, we would have a formidable lineup with a bunch of contact hitters and enough power to put a hurtin' on the NL.
Contrary to most, I like our bullpen with Gonzo and Soriano and Moylan. BC simply needs to make his starters give us seven innings.
October 6th, 2009
8:45 am
One theory I've heard is that the Braves might swap Lowe with a team that has an expendable big contract hitter. Who fits that description?
October 6th, 2009
8:46 am
To answer your headline:
With Bobby Cox in the dugout, if the Braves make the post-season in 2010, then YES, they will be BEAT. I'd bet the farm on Cox screwing it up.
October 6th, 2009
8:48 am
With our pitching we are only a couple of good bats away from a run at the playoffs but I doubt this will happen with Cox in the dugout. I think we also need a strong reliever but not too many to choose from at this time. Cox has already said that KJ needs another chance but hopefully Wren will make the decision and not resign KJ. We will probably have another Norton/Corky Miller guy on the team next year that Cox will keep on going to, no matter what. No matter who we sign the make up and attitude of the team will not change until we get a new mgr. I am not a Cox hater but its time for a change. There will be more dumb decisions next year and we will end up short by a few games once again. No doubt in my mind that Cox will cost us 8-12 games a year. Cox is more concerned about keeping the ship happy and being professional than winning ball games.
October 6th, 2009
8:51 am
Team to beat? Are you serious? The won't win another division with Bobby Cox as manager. The last game of the season summed up his entire managing career:
No sense of urgency, mismanagement of the bullpen, mismanagement of substitutions, playing for the home run (their only run) and never playing for just the one run that they need. All of that summed up to not beating the teams we were supposed to beat. He should have retired that day. I couldn't think of a more fitting way for him to go out and retire.
October 6th, 2009
8:56 am
Resign LaRoche. Resign Soriano. There is a need for right-handed power, but an outfield of Schafer, McLouth and Heyward isn't bad, if you could only teach Bobby Cox this isn't an American League team in the '60s. Playing small ball is the way to go.
If anything, the Braves need to work a package for a left-handed starter.
October 6th, 2009
9:03 am
MB: Until it is determined what happens to LaRoche, who ends up being the big bopper in the lineup, and what pitcher is traded away to make room for the big bopper, this column is absurdly premature. It's also absurd considering the Phillies are division champs 3 years running. This column smacks of being a blind homer, something you are usually not.
October 6th, 2009
9:03 am
Did anyone read Carroll Rogers report this morning? Bobby says they may move Prado to right field, so Kelly Johnson can get another shot at second. He says, "we can't just give up on Kelly …." Next he will want to give Norton a try in left. Unbelievable – almost makes you to forget about 2010 altogether and wait for Bobby and his boys to get gone!
October 6th, 2009
9:08 am
Yeah, great idea on Sheffield – a 40 year old has-been. Or Uggla, a guy who uppercuts at everything trying to hit it out, and finishes the year at .240. Tejada is a former roider who is also past his prime.
Why can't we go after big Adam Dunn and run him out in left field?
We need a true bopper, not some past-his-prime goofball, or some munchkin 2nd baseman.
October 6th, 2009
9:11 am
Dunn…probably about it!
October 6th, 2009
9:12 am
Everyone is forgetting about Schaefer. He will be in the mix.
If the Braves can sign LaRoche, they can make a run in the second half.
But I worry about the bullpen, and how Bobby pulls the trigger.
Best guess Braves 2nd, and not the wild card.
October 6th, 2009
9:17 am
Joey, I did read that column. I had hoped that Kelly Johnson would be the first to leave. It IS unbelievable.
October 6th, 2009
9:20 am
I REALLY WISH some of you guys would take your "Reality Pills" Ask yourselves this: how much did Soriano and Gonzolez make combined? Were either of them better than Moylan down the stretch? I think Moylan moves into the closer's role next year. He saves the Braves a ton of money AND BALL GAMES!I think the Braves will try to re-structure the contracts of Hudson and Vasquez. I think if Lowe gets moved it won't be a "mega trade" It will probably be a deal for each guy to get a "new start"
Jason Bay will not sign with the Braves. Matt Holliday will not sign with the Braves. We have a starting center fielder that can't hit a Turner Field. Matt Diaz has shown EVERYONE he's an everyday player. Bobby Cox is out of his freaking mind to think of moving Prado to RF in an effort to get Kelly Johnson into the game a 2nd. Newsflash Bobby, KJ SUCKS AT 2nd! He can, however, play LF. Bobby, Hide him out there if you're so intent on getting KJ some regular at-bats. I wonder how much Marlon Byrd will be pursued this off-season? He can play CF and it gives the Braves an additional very affordable "trade piece"
October 6th, 2009
9:25 am
I would try to sign LaRoche, but I'm afraid there'll be a bidding war and the Braves will drop out. In that case, I'd move Chipper to 1B (he hurt the team at 3B this year) and move Prado to 3B and Infante to 2B. KJ, Church and Norton are history — the first two because they're too expensive for bench players and the last because he had a horrible season. The biggest need is a RH power hitter. Bay or Holliday would be terrific, but that won't happen. They're each going to get big, long-term contracts. Nady or Cameron wouldn't be bad, but I'd rather go after a guy like Carlos Lee or Lance Berkman. It's great to have a glut of starting pitchers, but they can't all return, that's for sure. I would not trade Vazquez, although I have a feeling that 's going to happen. I would bring Hudson back. The bullpen will need work, too, because both Soriano and Gonzalez are free agents. One, or both, likely will depart. There are an awful lot of questions on this team. No one can say it'll be the team to beat in '10 until we get answers. Regardless, as others have pointed out, until they're beaten, the reigning world champions obviously are the team to beat.
October 6th, 2009
9:27 am
Only 10m for Dunn for next season. I think that the 'Natinals' would unload him for 3 prospects. Their system is BARE. I'm sure they would ask for 5 (a la the Texas trade), but they would end up holding the bag. Of course, they might take Kelly Johnson and Jordan Schaffer for Dunn and a reliever.

TEAMS: Washington Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates
The Washington Nationals activated third baseman Ryan Zimmerman from the 15-day disabled list on Friday and he was in the starting lineup in the weekend series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rookie third baseman Anthon Rendon was optioned to Double-A Harrisburg of the Eastern League. Zimmerman had been on the disabled list since April 18 with a strained left hamstring and the Nationals were 6-8 in his absence. He played in one game for high Class A Potomac on an injury rehabilitation assignment, going 0 for 3 on Wednesday against Carolina. ''I really only needed to play one game just to test the hamstring, make sure I could run out a ground ball or charge a slow roller,'' Zimmerman said. ''I only missed three days of (batting practice), so it wasn't like I needed a lot of at-bats to get my timing back.'' Zimmerman went into Friday' game with a .226 batting average, 61 points below his .287 career mark. He had one home run in 15 ga...

Sarah Shannon, lead singer of '90s indie-rock darlings Velocity Girl, releases her second solo album, "City Morning Song," further marking her departure from the guitar driven noise pop of her former band.
On "City Morning Song," Shannon composed all 12 tracks herself with help from piano player Matt Perry on six. Within the frame of Martin Feveyear's earthy, analog, and apropos production (he has also worked with Mark Lanegan, Rosie Thomas, Brandi Carlyle, Village Green, and John Wesley Harding), "City Morning Song" offers up track after track of timeless classic pop with the central feature of Shannon's solo work -- her voice -- showing strong as ever.

Mina Stefan Babe Of The Day exclusive interview and pics
Name Mina Stefan
From Toronto
Age 24
Vital statistics 32D 24 34
Eyes Brown
So Mina Stefan tell us about yourself :
Well, there's not too much to tell! Im an animal lover, foodie, gamer girl, fitness lover, obsessed with the internet…and a model :)
Describe what you wear when you're out to meet guys
If I wanna get a guys attention I usually try not to show too much off. I find that men actually like the mystery of a woman's body and would like their hands (and teeth) to do the discovering instead of seeing everything up front. I'm like a fine steak house. You know whatever is on the menu is gonna be amazing without having to see it first. Unlike when you go to a buffet and everything is laid out before you. It's not gonna be that good if everyone is lining up for the stale fries.
What do you wear to bed to turn a guy on?
You mean other than a smile? ;) usually a low rise full back panty and something sheer on top, like a white burnout t-shirt..like pyjamas but a touch sexier.
What kind of men do you go for?
-Nice guys, always. believe it or not, i pretty much don't care what a man looks like. As long as you take moderate care of your body, have great personal hygiene, can make me laugh, and know how to treat me like a goddess then I'm all yours.
Chat-up line
Best "were you by chance featured on BabeMag.com?"
Worst "hey you have a taco bell dog" (regarding my chihuahua Chola)
Sexual experience
Best There was a belt involved…I'll let you use your imagination ;)
Worst any man who finishes early and neglects to take care of me…and yes, its happened.
Drink Sake
Movie How to train your dragon (cartoon), Anchor Man (comedy), Pans Labyrinth (drama)
TV show Pretty much most HBO shows and Walking Dead
Man Currently, my starbucks barrista…but that's easily changeable for anyone who's willing to step up to the challenge ;)
Food Potato. It's the most versatile carb…what's there not to love? Or if you mean "dish", Poutine.
Which football team you support Whatever is my boyfriend's favourite
A joke So 2 neutrons walk into a bar and order a drink. They say to the bartender, "How Much?" he replies, "For you, No charge!" *cue "punch line" drums*
A secret about you My dog is literally like my child, but Im actually a cat person.
Your hidden talent I can do lots of tongue tricks!
Your greatest asset Isn't it obvious? *looks down* My wicked rack and flat tummy!
If you could be an animal which one would you be and why?
A house cat owned by a very loving and non smothering older couple. I love the idea of napping as long as i want, the freedom to choose when I want love, being fed and the freedom to go outside and hunt when i'm feeling energetic.
Who's the most famous person you've ever met?
I've met so many "famous" people.. to name a few Carmen Electra, Ben Affleck, Bill Murray, D-Dot (famous hip hop producer), Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris…just to name a few
Describe yourself in 3 words

(HealthDay News) -- Torticollis is congenital condition that is
generally noticed within the first six to eight weeks after a baby
is born, says the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
The primary symptom is the head tilting to one side, and
problems turning the head to the other side.
Torticollis tends to be more common in first-born children, the
academy says. There isn't a known way to prevent it.
Torticollis generally can be treated with exercises that stretch
the neck and turn the head to the opposite side, the group says.
Placing toys where a child has to turn to the opposite side may
also help. In about 10 percent of cases, surgery may be needed.

We will NOT find an alternative to energy dense, easily transportable conventional oil in time to sustain indefinate economic growth.
All alternative energies have one or more disadvantages that do not let them compete with cheap conventional oil.
Given our industrial civilization depends on massive amounts of cheap energy, the reliance on conventional oil is enormous.
The only quick solution I see is a drastic downscaling of economic activity.

Feb 11 2013: We sure should replace conventional oil with alternative energies some day,
But with all gigantic oil companies and investors and stuff, there is no hope to do it before it is late.
I mean, someday oil becomes so expensive that no one uses it for energy, but for plastic, medicine etc.
That time, people find it cheaper to leave oil and find other means, but until that time, it has no use to deal with oil companies about losing their binefits.
Let economy do its work !

I'm on a plane flying to L.A from New York right now.
I remember making this same journey 4 years ago. At a point in my life where I didn't really know many people in L.A, and if I did.. they were nothing more than acquaintances.
At this moment in time, I knew that Peaches had moved from NYC to LA. As soon as I landed I called her.
We met up for what would become tradition in her stint in Los Angeles & my back and forth from New York, we ate burgers. I'm serious, this was really the first thing we'd meet up and do every time, no questions asked.
Although there was one time where before we ate, she'd convinced me to buy a pack of porno playing cards to do magic tricks for her, i obliged, I was heavily into magic at the time, what more can I say?
It's funny that this would be the memory ringing in my head right now. There are plenty of memories growing up & coming of age in London with her, my dear friends Fifi, Fred and the rest of the gang. Even when I first moved to New York 7 years ago, and she'd also just moved to NYC with her good friend Lily, who in turn became a very close friend of mine, I didn't really live anywhere at the time & I would spend every day in their apartment. But for some reason right now the memory of LA sticks out.
Obviously because i'm on my way there now, I guess, but i've really struggled to put into words how I've been feeling, i'm sure we all have. Nothing I could write, say, or any pictures I feel can really, truly convey the loss we are feeling right now…
This is someone who affected so many of us, my friends, in our lives. It's a struggle to picture a moment in time without her. Just last month while playing shows in London I remember the delight of seeing her and Fifi together, just like old times. We quipped about it, a little older, but still babies in the grand scheme of things.
But really, she had grown so much, we all watched her grow, and create a beautiful family with Thomas. My heart goes out to him, and the rest of her family. This is just so unfair… it's made me physically sick..
I don't have much more to say, i'm still in shock over this. I just wanted to try and honour her in some way…
We love you Peaches.
Rest In Peace.

My Book Curation For The TED2014 Conference.
As well as being invited to give a TEDTalk Lecture/Performance last week in Vancouber, I was also asked to help curate their book store for the event. Below are my book selections along with a link & a little info about each choice. Enjoy !
Formalized Music: Thought & Mathematics in Composition (Harmonologia Series, No 6) by Iannis Xenakis.
Fleeing from World War II torn Greece to become an illegal immigrant in Paris. Xanakis got a job as an engineer & architect. From there his interest in music sprung and he applied the same techniques in regards to architecture to his music compositions. With breakthrough scores shattering any pre conceived notion about music and it's links to math.
This book is a prime collection of theories & techniques from one of the greatest avant-garde composers to have ever been.
Just delivered my lecture / performance on composition & synesthesia for TED Talks conference 2014 in Vancouver, very honored. I hadn't been that nervous since high school. Altogether, an intense, inspiring week in Vancouver. I heard some very inspirational talks and met some amazing minds.
Side note, I also helped curate their book store for the conference, I'll post my book list soon.
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favourite photographers Jeannette Montgomery Barron. Her book SCENE is incredible and highly influential to me. She took this picture while we were in Washington Sq. Park. NYC. March 2014.www.jeannettemontgomerybarron.com

The most kawaii cookies you'll make this holiday season
"Back the fuck up", you are saying (and you should watch your language),"What, exactly, makes these cookies so damn kawaii? Are we speaking ironically kawaii or what's going on? Answer me, you hipster."
I assume that's what you're saying anyway, because I have lost touch with reality for the most part.
Anyway, I think these particular cookies are pretty darn kawaii because they REEK of HONEY. Seriously. Your entire block will smell like an apiary, without the horrible droning and the whole issue with stings and allergies. …..and Honey is pretty darn kawaii, in my book.
Seriously though, these cookies are perfect if gingerbread isn't quite your thing. It's NEARLY gingerbread…. it's like gingerbread's little sister, who one day hopes to grow up to be a spicy minx like it's older brother (…what?). It's got hints of the spice, and a touch of molasses, but the star of the show is definitely honey. And they're pretty darn easy to put together, as far as cut-out cookies go. Listen up.
- In a large-ish bowl, sift together 3 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and half a teaspoon of salt and go crazy and crack some fresh black pepper in there. Seriously, sift. Don't just dump all this shit into a bowl and stir it a couple of times with a spoon. I don't have a fancy ass flour sifter like my gramma, so I suck it up and sift everything through a mesh strainer. The resulting pile will look and feel beautiful. You will want to rest your head in it and take a nap. But don't, because that's gross and you'll make a mess.
- Set your beautiful flour pile aside for now, lazy.
- Have a stick of butter ready at room temperature. It will make your life a lot easier if it's soft, is all. Using a large bowl and an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter with 1/2 cup of sugar until it's fluffy and a lovely pale yellow shade. This'll take like, a minute or something. JUST BE PATIENT, IT WILL HAPPEN.
- Now crack a large egg in there with the butter and sugar, and beat well for another minute.
- Slow that shit down and add 1/4 cup of unsulfured molasses and 1/2 cup honey. PRO-TIP: Spray your measuring cup with non-stick baking spray stuff and then pour the sticky stuff like molasses or honey into it. That way it will just pour right out again after it's measured. Use a rubber spatula to get out any remnants because in case no one told you, honey is liquid gold and don't you dare waste any of it.
- Also add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract at this point. If I find out you're using imitation vanilla which is made from TAR, I will come to your house and slap your face.
- Once all that's combined, SLOWLY add the beautifully fluffy flour mixture in SMALL batches. Take your time with this. If you go crazy and just dump it all in there at once while the mixer is running, your kitchen will be covered with flour and your cookies will be horrible and everyone you live with will be really pissed off at you

With next round of Kindles, Amazon is making it harder to go ad-free
Summary: With the latest price cut to its Kindle Offers Kindle Keyboard Wi-Fi, Amazon is making it harder and harder to justify buying the advertisement-free version of the eReader.
Amazon is playing an interesting game with the pricing of its ad-supported Kindle eReaders.
When the company launched the Kindle Offers-supported version of the Kindle Wi-Fi back in April, it dropped the price of the device $25 to $114. The Kindle 3G saw a similar drop, moving from $180 to $164.
But with the next round of Kindle eReaders, Amazon is doing something a bit different, opting to make the ad-supported Kindles the default models rather than the ad-free versions. The Kindle Touch Wi-Fi with Special Offers will sell for $99, while its ad-free counterpart will go for $139. Amazon barely mentioned the latter version during the Kindle Touch's unveiling.
But here's the interesting part. In addition to announcing the $99 Kindle Touch, Amazon also dropped the price of the current Special Offers Kindle Keyboard Wi-Fi to $99. This is significant because though Amazon dropped the price of the add-supported model, it chose not to do the same for its ad-free counterpart. Clearly the company is trying to push new consumers towards its Offers Kindles by making the price discrepancy between the different versions of the tablets too significant to ignore.
What this means is that buying a Kindle without advertisements is going to cost you an extra $40 rather than $25. How many people are actually bothered by advertisements enough to still go with the ad-free Kindle? It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say not very many.

Two Thumbs Down: Education Documentaries Fictionalize Research
Waiting for Superman, The Lottery offer simplistic and misguided solutions for urban public education. BOULDER, CO (January 24, 2011) — They may be on some critics' short lists for Oscar nominations to be released Tuesday, but two documentaries on education—Waiting for Superman and The Lottery—are rooted in fiction and are likely to set back the cause of real education reform.
That's the conclusion of two education experts who examined the movies for reviews published today by the National Education Policy Center, housed at the University of Colorado at Boulder School of Education.
University of Colorado at Boulder professor Elizabeth Dutro reviewed Davis Guggenheim's Waiting for Superman. The Lottery, a film by Madeline Sackler was reviewed by Washington University in St. Louis professor William Tate.
Given the hype, neither film was particularly successful at the box office, but together they became a focal point of education campaigns, making similar claims about education policy and practice. In their reviews, however, Dutro and Tate conclude that those claims rely on self -contradictory premises, distortions of the research evidence, and serious omissions of fact.
Waiting for Superman, writes Dutro, offers solutions that "ignore research evidence, and are too often built on false assumptions." The result is that it glosses over the systemic inequities in American society that contribute to the problems faced by impoverished students in urban schools, while also ignoring reform policies that don't fit its one-dimensional agenda.
In his review of The Lottery, Tate notes that the film's "zealous advocacy for charter schools fundamentally misdirects viewers away from the actual evidence about the mixed results that they have achieved."
Waiting for Superman takes its title from a story that Geoffrey Canada, founder of Harlem Children's Zone, tells the filmmakers about his upsetting discovery as a child that Superman was not real and would not save him or his friends from the poverty in which they were growing up. It follows the stories of five children and their families as they go through the lottery process to be admitted into charter schools.
"The film argues that heroic action, swift and sure, can be taken to fix what it portrays as the disaster of public schooling," Dutro writes in her review. "Unfortunately, this appearance of simplicity is only achieved through omissions and misrepresentations surrounding some of the film's key points of evidence for its claims."
Superman casts public school teachers unions as enemies of reform and protectors of bad teachers. One of its heroes is Canada. Yet the film downplays the scope of Canada's own Harlem Children's Zone's extensive services and ignores the $100 million in funding it has received from private sources – funding that "simply cannot be broadly relied upon to create similar systemic change in all communities with underperforming schools," Dutro writes. Similarly, the film ignores the role of poverty in school performance as well as the "demonstrated relationship between financial resources and educational performance and opportunity" – and thus ignores anti-poverty measures as potential solutions to the problems that confront poor children and their families.
"While the movie asks viewers to focus on individual schools and heroic leaders," Dutro writes, "the reality is that the array of services provided by Geoffrey Canada's Harlem Children's Zone actually supports a counter argument – that schools are only one key ingredient in a much larger mix of social services necessary to mitigate the impact of multi-generational poverty in some urban neighborhoods." The film also ignores real examples of successful neighborhood schools and committed urban teachers.
In his review, Tate compares The Lottery to a game of Three Card Monte – a street card game peddled by grifters. Like the con game, Tate writes, the film "relies far too much on skillful sleight of hand and misdirection" in order to put across its message.
"It is clear that the parents and children in this documentary have a burning desire to gain a meaningful and productive elementary education," Tate writes. The film passionately promotes the idea that attending a charter school represents the best chance these children have to get a high-quality education. According to Tate, The Lottery "implicitly but clearly defines the primary problems of public education as an inadequate provision of charter schooling, combined with a public school system that is rendered inefficient by a stifling bureaucracy and the self-serving demands of the teachers union. Given these problem definitions, the solution is obvious: create more charter schools and eliminate teachers unions."
As evidence for charter school superiority, the movie offers testimonials of a variety of elite leaders, who argue that charter schools are more accountable and more efficient than traditional public schools. It also presents descriptive statistics about the achievement gap between minority and low-income children on the one hand and high-income, majority children on the other.
As Tate points out, "The movie presents these descriptive statistics as if they were part of causal relationships that demonstrated associations between traditional public schools and the educational disparities and other social concerns." Yet, Tate writes, The Lottery offers "no credible research evidence … to support these contentions." Indeed, when it comes to charter schools, Tate comments that "the filmmaker never presents an honest picture of the evidence."
"The overall body of research evidence does not … actually bolster the claims made about charters," he writes. "In fact, no social science researchers with expertise on charter schools appear in the documentary. [Yet] In the world outside of The Lottery there is a growing body of research on charter schools – research with decidedly mixed findings."
In the end, both films get a thumbs down from their respective viewers. In words that could just as easily apply to Tate's view of The Lottery, Dutro sums up her assessment of Waiting for Superman this way: "The solutions offered by the film are simplified, ignore research evidence, and are too often built on false assumptions that undermine the need to examine the systemic inequities and consequential reforms and policies that surround schooling in the United States. These inconvenient truths are the kryptonite to Guggenheim's Superman."
Find Elizabeth Dutro's review on the NEPC website at:
The Think Twice think tank review project (http://thinktankreview.org), a project of the National Education Policy Center, provides the public, policy makers, and the press with timely, academically sound, reviews of selected think tank publications.
We applaud efforts that appear to criticize and condemn while offering, when they choose do offer, simplistic solutions stemming from the condemnations. We love journalism of this ilk because it makes us think things really are OK with America as long as we get this or that pesky group of obstructionists on board.

Unable to fire update handler in couchbase
I am able to do all CRUD operations on couchbase using the 8091 url, however I am not able to fire an update handler. ie I created a new updates function in my design document using the futon interface, and then tried firing it using the 8091 url, however it fails.
Is it not supported yet?
I'm not sure I fully understand exactly what you are trying to do here, but you might want to try sending the request to 5984. 8091 is the cluster management port. If that doesn't work then we will look further into your question.
I am able to all this through the 8091 port -
1) Call a view
2) PUT (create) a document
3) PUT (update) an existing document

The same way that I can call a view under _views, I would also like to call an update handler under _updates. However this returns an error.
I can certainly call it from 5984, but then how will I know which database to call it on in the bucket. It creates 16 DB's and how do I know to call the handler on which db.
In the case of the view I just call it on the bucket, and it takes care of pulling the data from the different db's, I would like to have the same functionality of calling a handler on the bucket.
Is that possible?
The _update handlers are not, unfortunately, available in Couchbase Server 2.0. We're looking to add that functionality as soon as we can though.
As Mike mentioned, the 8091 port may have some other, undocumented HTTP URIs, but we expect all interaction with the buckets, which represent a logical Couch database, to be through 5984.

Amazing! Something about the cast iron pan makes it the most delicious pan chocolate chip cookie ever. DEEEEElicious.
Giant Cookie-in-a-Pan
Oxmoor House
This recipe, a variation of one in her book Batter Up Kids Delicious Desserts cookbook, is from best-selling cookbook author and kids' cooking expert Barbara Beery, the founder of Batter Up Kids, Inc. "Kids adore giant cookie 'cakes' for birthday and team sport parties," says Barbara. Baking it in a cast iron pan is an easy way to keep the cookie perfectly round.
Yield: Makes 1 giant cookie (16 slices)
More From Oxmoor House
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Assorted M&M's or sprinkles
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
- 2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat both sugars and the butter until smooth. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well with a wooden spoon. The dough will be stiff. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- 3. Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray. Pat the cookie dough evenly into the skillet and decorate the surface with M&M's or sprinkles. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
- 4. Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Cut the cookie into 16 wedges and serve it directly from the skillet using a pie server.
