HelloSoft Announces the Availability of Its VoIP Solution for LTE Devices
2/15/10 - HelloSoft announced the extension of its carrier proven VoIP and Voice Call Continuity (VCC) solution suite to future 4G-LTEdevices. HelloSoft's VoIP and VCC solution allows seamless handoff of voice calls between VoIP on the 4G LTE network and circuit switched voice systems that run on cellular 2G and 3G networks. Supporting VoIP over LTE (VoLTE) extends HelloSoft's recently released, award winning VoIP and VCC Convergence Client Software platform for Android mobile devices, which also supports handsets running Windows Mobile, Symbian and Linux operating systems.
HelloSoft is extending its partnership with Beceem to provide a complete platform for VoIP and VCC on Beceem's new 4G multi-com chip that supports both LTE and WiMAX. This extends the collaboration between both companies which have already enabled VoIP and VCC solutions to run on 4G-WiMAX devices. Beceem's 4G-LTE/WiMAX chip is designed to support session hand-off between WiMAX and LTE, which is a key enabler for HelloSoft to show its VCC and convergence software client providing unified communications across multiple 4G networks.
Lars Johnsson, Beceem's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, commented: "Beceem is pleased to expand its partnership with HelloSoft and leverage the previous VoIP over WiMAX work to bring VoIP calls to LTE devices that will support seamless handoff of VoIP calls between LTE and WiMAX, and also to legacy cellular networks, enabling a truly seamless 'mobile voice' experience." Johnsson continued, "We feel that the convergence and roaming in 4G networks, taken together with full QoS VoIP services, is very compelling to service providers, and working with HelloSoft's advanced VoIP and VCC Android client solution will accelerate this trend."
Allan Johnson, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Business Development at HelloSoft, says, "As the networks upgrade and LTE adoption gains pace, VoLTE will experience strong adoption. The combined Beceem 4G-LTE/WiMAX chipset, together with the Titan Android Convergence Client, brings together two industry firsts from leaders in their respective industries. HelloSoft Android Titan Convergence Client offers mobile device manufacturers a complete solution for Android including VoIP, VCC and handoff of Voice calls and data sessions both between a wide range of IP bearers including LTE, WiMAX, HSPA, EVDO and WiFi and between circuit switched voice and VoIP over IP pipes. With Beceem's new 4G-LTE/WiMAX solution and their extensive 4G multi-mode experience, we see this as a strong combination with HelloSoft's industry first complete convergence client solution for Android with VoIP, VCC for seamless handoff and HelloSoft's IP to IP handoff solution. The resulting turnkey solution will enable ODMs and OEMs to build a wide range of exciting next generation 4G LTE and WiMAX devices allowing any Android application to work over any bearer."

Posted Feb 17, 2014By
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Alexander Zubkov has driven Russia to the Olympic gold medal in two-man bobsledding, teaming with Alexey Voevoda for a one-sided victory.
Zubkov finished 0.66 seconds ahead of the Swiss team of driver Beat Hefti and brakeman Alex Baumann.
Steven Holcomb of Park City, Utah, and Steven Langton of Melrose, Mass., won the bronze medal, finishing another 0.22 seconds back.
Zubkov's last win in a two-man race was at the 2011 world championships. But on Russian ice, he was dominant, taking a sizable lead into Monday's final two runs and then all but sealing the title with a track record in his third heat.
At 39, Zubkov became the third-oldest pilot to win two-man gold. Holcomb and Langton gave the U.S. its first two-man medal since 1952.

PAX 12 - Card Hunter Developer Walkthrough
Easily one of the coolest games I saw at PAX this year. It's a completely free, web-based tactical RPG that's also a card game. It sounds bizarre, yes, but I really, really liked what I played.
I absolutely love the presenetation of the game, too. It's made to look like you're playing a table top game, complete with cardboard miniatures, dice, and snacks laying out on the table.
I sat down with the art director, Ben Lee, and he walked me through a few tutorial dungeon fights. I'm really looking forward to this one!

Applications folder in home | 16 comments | Create New Account

Applications folder in home
I used to use a folder called "More Applications" that I made myself on my hard drive. I put all non-Apple stuff that I installed myself, there. That worked quite well for a while, then I got some applications that wouldn't work unless they were in /Applications. Now I just stuff everything in my Applications folder (unless it looks like a utility, then it goes in my Utilities folder). I also made a folder for games inside Applications, but I don't have very many and that folder often gets forgotten. When I install Tiger (in just two more weeks, come my birthday) I will wipe everything, leave the apple stuff and stuff that I find completely necessary in my Applications folder and I will put everything else in my home folder's Application folder. That brings me to my point: The system considers a folder called "Applications" in your home folder to be a valid place to put applications. The idea is that if you don't own, or have admin access to the computer, you still have a place to install applications. I would also say that this is more of my stuff and not Apple stuff, so it belongs in my home folder. If you don't believe me, just put an "Applications" folder in your home folder and watch it take on the appearance of your Applications folder. The change will take effect the next time finder is reloaded (logging out then back in, for example).

Streaking Express top River Bandits for sixth straight win
By Jeff Nations
WOODSTOCK -- As bunts go, it was hardly a thing of beauty Luke Wurzelbacher dropped down for the Strasburg Express on Monday night.
Batting in the top of the seventh inning with runners on first and second base, Wurzelbacher tried to drop a sacrifice bunt down the third-base line and well away from Woodstock River Bandits first baseman Esteban Puerta.
"We were trying to bunt that ball to third because the last time we were here that first baseman made a play on us," Strasburg manager Ben Moore said. "We tried to squeeze and he made an awesome play and threw us out at home."
Moore didn't want to see a repeat, but Wurzelbacher's bouncing bunt wasn't far enough away. Puerta cut across the infield diamond to scoop up the ball, but he throw to third skipped away for an error that opened the door for a big Express rally and an eventual 8-0 victory in Valley Baseball League action.
When things are going good, they're going really good. That's been the case for Strasburg (12-13), now winners of six straight. That streak coincides with the Express getting their home field back after leading a semi-vagabond existence earlier in the season after First Bank Park suffered extensive storm damage.
"Ever since we've gotten our field back and we've been on a routine, we've gone 6-0," Moore said. "It's just good for these guys."
Wurzelbacher got things going with that misplaced bunt single, but Strasburg was just getting warmed up against River Bandits reliever Justin Ratte. Joe Ravert followed with a two-run single to cap the three-run rally.
"We're a small-ball team," Moore said. "We do a lot of small-ball things right -- that's what we try to preach to these guys. We did a small thing right and it paid off, and after that we just kind of rolled."
The three-run cushion was plenty for Strasburg starting pitcher Mike Vinson, a right-hander from the University of Florida. Vinson matched zeros with River Bandits starter Mike O'Reilly for six innings before the Express broke through, then chipped in one more scoreless frame for good measure.
It was the second straight strong start for Vinson, who's only made two since moving up from a relief role. Vinson missed the college baseball season as he recovered from surgery on a fractured elbow in his pitching arm, and as a freshman had only thrown in relief for the Gators.
"It feels nice to start again. I haven't done it in a really long time," Vinson said. "I had surgery this past year, so getting my arm back into shape and throwing that many pitches is nice.
"I'm full go, nothing's holding me back now. It's just building it back up."
Vinson allowed just five hits and no walks while striking out seven to earn the win.
"He pounds the zone," Moore said. "He's a bulldog. He comes in, he demands the strike zone and he goes right after people."
Woodstock (7-18) saw a close game unravel after the sixth. Wurzelbacher came through with the bases loaded and one out with a single off Ratte, and Jay Lizanich followed with a two-run single to right to chase. Two more runs would score on a throwing error as the Express capped a five-run outburst.
O'Reilly was the tough-luck loser for Woodstock, allowing two runs off three hits and two walks while striking out nine.
"He's been outstanding all year," Woodstock manager Phil Betterly said. "He pounds the zone, he's a competitor. There's a reason he was their leading pitcher at Flagler [College]. He just comes in and he throws strikes with all his pitches."
Wurzelbacher and Kevin Baron had two hits apiece for Strasburg, which totaled seven. Andrew Brodbeck and Zach Jarrett had two hits each for the River Bandits.
"The kid that started for them tonight has thrown against us three times in a row and he's got our number," Moore said of O'Reilly, a right-hander. "I think we beat him one time, but I think he only gave up one earned run the time we beat him and we shouldn't have beat him that time. So he's had our number and he had it again tonight. Luckily we got his pitch count up after fouling a couple balls off and getting into 3-2 counts, which paid off in the end."

If rivers run dry or we pollute them, it's not just wildlife that suffers; water companies, farmers and power utilities are affected too. This is why governments from South Africa to Sweden have prioritised ... the maintenance of river flows in laws, policy or guidelines. The maintenance of river flows is critical to determining the future success or failure of meeting the water security challenge. The trade-offs referred to in abstract food-water-energy nexus debates often take tangible form when decisions are made about how to use rivers like the Itchen, Godavari, Great Ruaha or Yangtze. Yet we hear little in nexus debates about these vital freshwater ecosystems. By Dave Tickner

Water-Food Nexus
Every food item we eat needs water for its production, but different foods require different amount of water. What do you think consumes more water: a steak, a glass of milk, a piece of bread or a cucumber? The short answer to this question is that the steak is the biggest water consumer. - by Ylva Ran
However, this answer is not enough, it is much more complex than it seems and requires that we understand more of the complexity behind water use in agricultural production. Regardless of whether you think livestock products is a key ingredient of your every meal or not, it is an important part of human diets globally, especially in low-income countries. 1 billion people in these countries depend on livestock, and it has a significant value for battling malnutrition in many places around the world.

In response to nexus challenges EPSRC, with input from other research councils, is running a sandpit in the water energy food nexus in order to try to engender a radical change in the research undertaken in this field in the UK. This complex area presents multi-dimensional research challenges that require a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to addressing them. It is expected that £4-5 million of Research Council funding will be made available to fund research projects arising from this sandpit with additional computational modelling support from STFC.

There's A Reason Why We Need A Better Transportation System. Actually, There Are 32. The transportation system in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) isn't working, and
we can't accept it any more. It can be so much better. CivicAction's Your32 campaign is about building public support for a better regional transportation system and the need for new sustainable ways to pay for it – to give our political leaders the evidence they need to act. Residents of the region have told CivicAction and our Regional Transportation Champions Council how they would benefit from a better system by answering the question "What would you do with 32?". Now, we're giving you a way to say what you are ready to do for that better system – and to invite your politicians to join you.
Please join us by pledging your support at your32.com

Herfy4 reviews
First Reviewed By: FoodCritic
Herfy offer an array of burgers, including chicken, and other shrimp dishes, like wraps and nuggets. There are branches across the country and quite a few in Jeddah. I would best describe Herfy as the Arabian equivalent to McDonalds. The Burgers almost taste the same too. We recently tried the double cheeseburger and only had to wait a couple of minutes before it arrived.These are certainly not patties like in Fudds or Hot Waves, more along the lines of Burger King and McDonalds. The double burger came in at 8 SR, for 2 SR you can super size your meal. The burger we were served was pretty similar in taste to a McDonalds burger and so fairly greasy, so if you're watching your weight, this may not be for you. However if you're a fan of fast food type burgers, this may be right up your street.

Former candidate files EEOC complaint against Shenandoah University
By Kaitlin Mayhew -- email@example.com
WINCHESTER -- Former Democratic state Senate candidate Shaun Broy filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Wednesday, claiming discrimination and wrongful termination from his position with Shenandoah University.
Broy, a Stephens City resident, ran unsuccessfully for the 27th District state Senate seat against Jill Holtzman Vogel. He lost that race last month by a margin of about 3 to 1.
He said he was terminated from his position as the manager of box offices at the university on Dec. 5 as a result of "discriminatory and retaliatory treatment."
Broy had held the position since June 6 of this year.
When contacted Wednesday, Broy would not go into detail about how he was discriminated against by university officials.
"I can't go into details on [that]. That's in the hands of the EEOC investigators. I am sure that with time, and allowing the investigation to take place, it will reveal the why and how and what that many people may be asking," he said. "That's all I can say at this time. I have a lot to say, and I wish I could."
Broy sent out a news release Wednesday afternoon announcing that he had filed the paperwork with the EEOC.
"I felt like it was important for the community to know that I was no longer with the university," he said in an phone interview.
There are three possible outcomes after the complaint is reviewed by an investigator, according to Broy. In the first, the EEOC could issue to Broy a right to sue, which would mean that he could take the case to court and pursue a lawsuit on his own behalf.
The second possibility would be that the EEOC could file the suit itself, which Broy said only happens in extreme cases where the agency feels it needs to set a precedent.
The third option is that a type of mediation could be recommended, and then both parties would participate in coming to an agreement.
He believes the investigation will begin within 30 days.
Broy said he is particularly saddened by the fact that he felt he was forced to file this complaint in spite of his "deep roots" in the Shenandoah University community.
He was a student at the university himself, graduating in 2001 with a degree in political science and minor in mass communications. Broy also served as student government president.
"I felt very comfortable going back into the world that I was placed in," he said.
However, he said that feeling changed about a month into his position.
"The role changed very dramatically in the middle of July, and the demands upon me changed quite dramatically," he said. "That all coincided with a number of events that took place and things that the university ignored and decided not to address, which, if ultimately ruled in my favor, will be their downfall."
Broy announced his intent to run for the Senate seat in July.
The week after the election, he filed formal complaints with the Democratic Party against two sheriffs in the region, Anthony W. Roper of Clarke County and Leonard Millholland of Winchester, over their support for his opponent in the Senate race. Broy later withdrew the complaints.
He said he doesn't have any specific plans in terms of moving forward, but that he has already begun the search for new employment.
"Right now it's a very difficult time for me. I just finished a state Senate campaign and a lot of times employers want to shy away from politics and politicians altogether, so that puts me in a hard position," he said. "My good name has been slandered as well and tainted just because I decided to throw my hat in the ring."
Emily Burner, director of media relations for Shenandoah University, confirmed that Broy no longer works at the university.
"We are aware that he has filed a charge," she said. "The university is interested in letting the process run its course."
Broy said that despite his complaint, he harbors no ill will against the university itself.
"I do not want to in any shape or form negate the educational value that Shenandoah University provides for our region," he said. "I would highly recommend it to anyone I came across in the future."

Argentina scraped to the 2011 Rugby World Cup quarterfinals where they are scheduled to meet New Zealand after overcoming Georgia by 25-7 in the last Pool B match at the Arena Manawatu.
Argentina had a nervous start against the 14th ranked Georgia, although they needed a single point to play in the quarterfinals. Both nations played defensively until the 32nd minute when the Pumas left wing Juan José Imhoff found a gap for a try.
Argentinean captain, Felipe Contepomi admitted his men struggled to find flow till the 40th minute but found themselves settled after drawing first blood. He said, "We couldn't find a way to break through in the first half. We couldn't score when we had to."
Georgia's Lasha Khmaladze was the lone scorer with a try in the 39th minute. It was Malkhaz Urjukashvili who successfully converted to put the Lelos in front by 7-5 at half-time.
A disappointed Georgian prop David Kubriashvili admitted failure in capitalizing on an early lead. "It's a shame because we played well and in the end they scored two tries," he said. "I don't like the final score, it's not good and it does not reflect the way we have played. We played this match to win it, so it is disappointing."
Imhoff who scored the first try, articulated on the Puma's main weakness saying his team fumbled the ball too much. Argentina had 9 handling errors in 80 minutes in comparison to Georgia's 8. "Georgia played very well and we made a lot of errors which cost us some points," he said.
Georgian coach, Richard Dixon was unhappy with the way his men performed in the last match of the campaign. The Scot said, "I was very disappointed with the outcome of this match. We didn't get as much out of the game as what we put into it. I thought that we were very much in this game. But the score line flatters them (Argentina)."
Argentina were callous in both halves of the match, nonetheless they were satisfied with the 2 tries they had in the last 15 minutes of the match that increased their lead. "Thankfully, we scored some tries and we won," said Contepomi.
Contepomi confessed his men made mistakes. "We have a lot to do in the next week," he said. "We are thrilled that we went through but now we have to work hard."

Chapter 8:
NPS SUBSISTENCE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, 1990-PRESENT (continued)
I. A Renewed Discussion of Traditional Use Zones
As noted in ANILCA, five Alaska park areasAniakchak, Gates of the Arctic, Lake Clark, Wrangell-St. Elias, and the Denali additionscontained language stating that subsistence uses would take place "where such uses are traditional, in accordance with the provisions of Title VIII." As noted in Chapter 6, the NPS asked the various SRCs to help delineate traditional use zone boundaries, but the SRCsdespite considerable prodding from NPS officialswere reluctant to make such determinations. By the end of the 1980s, most of the state's SRCs had mulled over the issue; the Gates of the Arctic SRC had spent considerable time on the matter. The result was an awkward standoff, but none had seriously considered (let alone recommended) any traditional use zones.
This pattern, of NPS encouragement and SRC recalcitrance, continued on into the early 1990s. At Wrangell-St. Elias (where NPS staff, during the mid-1980s, had stated that the imposition of traditional use zones "would be an administrative nightmare") and at Lake Clark, neither government officials nor SRC members showed any particular interest in changing the existing state of affairs. And at both Aniakchak and Denali, the only opinion expressed by SRC members, predictably, was that the entire park unit should be considered a traditional use area for everyone living in the various resident zone communities. Even the Cape Krusenstern SRCwhere the "where traditional" clause did not applygot into the act; it too passed a hunting plan statement "recommend[ing] that the entire Monument be classified as a traditional use area." [133]
Most of the discussion pertaining to this topic during the 1990s was directed to Gates of the Arctic National Park, where attention had also been focused during the 1980s. In May 1988, it may be recalled, the Interior Secretary had responded the SRC's May 1987 recommendation with a strongly-worded denial: the recommendation "will not be implemented because [it] seems to imply that the entire park is an area of traditional use. Congress was clear in its intent to have the Commissions and NPS identify traditional use areas and to have some areas of the park remain, for the most part, unhunted. ... We believe that the Commission ... should analyze the patterns of subsistence use following establishment of each community and develop a definition of traditional subsistence areas by community." [134]
This difference of opinion between the SRC and the federal government continued for the next several years. After learning that the Interior Secretary had rejected its recommendation, the SRC mulled over the issue for awhile; then, in November 1990, it once again decided "that the entire park be generally classified as a traditional use area," and it further noted that its conclusion was "consistent with, if not compelled by, the intent of Title VIII." In February 1992, that recommendationwith an added caveat that "when a wild, renewable resource must be protected in a specific area, the NPS will take appropriate steps to protect [it]"was forwarded once again to the Interior Secretary. The Secretary, however, was no more favorably disposed to this recommendation than he had been to the SRC's previous (1987) proposal. The Secretary further noted that the NPS "was in the process of incorporating, within the Resource Management Plan, a study of traditional use areas for designated resident zone communities. ... Based upon the data presented in the study, the NPS will initiate a process to identify traditional subsistence hunting use areas." The agency promised to "consult with and involve the Commission" in this process. Even so, its decision to initiate such a study and, by implication, to identify park areas where subsistence hunting might not be allowed, was clearly a change in tacticsand one that threatened to undermine the SRC's role in the process. [135]
The SRC, unbowed by the Secretary's letter, fought back. At its October 1993 meeting, it passed a new traditional use area recommendation because it felt "compelled to defend their definition of 'traditional use.'" Citing "elders of the communities within the Gates of the Arctic resident zone" as well as the 1982 publication, Tracks in the Wildland, the park SRC again resolved to "clearly define ... the entire 8.4 million acres of the park/preserve as the 'traditional use area.'" [136] This proposal (Recommendation 9) was sent to the Interior Secretary on April 11, 1994; shortly afterward, SRC officials learned that the NPSin conformance to the Interior Secretary's instructionshad indeed included a proposal for a traditional use zone study (S102) in the park's still-developing Resource Management Plan. [137]
By this time, however, various NPS officials were beginning to rethink their long-held views on subsistence policy. The various park superintendents, for example had by this time held a subsistence management conference; the park had a new superintendent, Steve Martin, who had not previously worked in Alaska; and Martin, moreover, was a key member of the ad hoc group of NPS officials that spent much of the spring and summer of 1994 conducting a thorough review of subsistence laws and regulations. Martin, analyzing the traditional use zone issue in May 1994, sent Waller a draft response note which said, in part, that "The Gates of the Arctic staff has reviewed the substantial information available on this issue. ... Initial findings support the contention that nearly all of the 8.4 million acre unit has been used for subsistence activities at least since the contact period in the mid to late 1800s by those residing in the area of the park." Martin urged that the NPS "define the terms and legislative guidance pertinent to this particular issue to ensure that research, analysis, and designation of traditional use areas is consistent for the five ['where traditional'] park areas," and he concluded that various "key criteria ... must be identified [and] be carefully considered before deciding whether each community must have exclusive areas delineated." And two months later, he prepared a five-page briefing statement on the topic; most of the statement justified his conclusion that "the Subsistence Resource Commission proposition ... is reasonable and acceptable." Key to his argument were two statements that were gleaned directly from the Congressional Record:
Martin's views, not surprisingly, were not shared by everyone. Ray Bane, an NPS subsistence specialist, countered that "the NPS must constructively work with local residents to identify use areas and to devise a flexible and effective system for accommodating traditional subsistence uses," while Jack Hession of the Sierra Club, who defined a "traditional national park" as one that was "closed to the consumptive use of wildlife," chided the NPS for its 13°-year delay "in establishing the five new traditional parks envisioned by Congress." [139] Faced with such a strong diversity of opinion, the agency's new regional director, Robert Barbee, approved of a draft response to the SRC's recommendation saying only that "the application of [the 'where traditional'] mandate is being examined by the Department. At the conclusion of this review, the Secretary will address the Commission's concerns regarding Recommendation 9." But perhaps because the NPS made no move to finalize its draft review of subsistence policies, the Interior Secretary did not immediately respond to the SRC's recommendation. The SRC waited until May 1996two years after its initial submittalbefore it publicly questioned the delay. Regional Director Barbee, in response, politely noted that the Secretary was "currently reviewing all the comments/suggestions received." Otherwise, however, no official response was forthcoming. [140]
NPS staff addressed the traditional use zone issue, along with a number of other subsistence issues, during the review and comment period that preceded the completion of the NPS's August 1997 subsistence issues paper. Gates of the Arctic and Denali were the only SRCs that commented on the issue; both, predictably, stated that the whole park area was a traditional use zone. The NPS, in its final document, hedged on the issue; it noted that Gates of the Arctic's staff was "currently responding" to the park SRC's recommendation and that it had not yet been determined whether the Federal Subsistence Board's "customary and traditional" determinations would be used as a basis for defining traditional use areas. [141]
Shortly after the issues paper was completed, however, the agency's position as it related to traditional use zones became slightly more clear. In November 1998, for example, Wrangell-St. Elias Superintendent Jon Jarvis stated at an SRC meeting that
A similar point of view emerged at Aniakchak, where a November 1998 response to an SRC recommendation allowed qualified subsistence users to hunt and trap throughout the monument. [142]
At Gates of the Arctic, additional information relative to this issue was gathered beginning in the winter of 1997-98, when the NPS, at long last, began work on a traditional subsistence use area analysis. That study, entitled Traditional Subsistence Use Areas: Information Necessary for Making a Determination for Gates of the Arctic National Park, was presented in draft form to the SRC at its April 20-21, 1999 meeting. But the SRC, upon receiving the report, decided that the status quo was working well; it therefore passed a resolution stating that a determination of traditional use areas is unnecessary as a management action. NPS staff, for their part, also recognized the wisdom in opting not to designate traditional use zones. [143]
Three weeks after the SRC meeting, Jack Hession of the Sierra Club pressed the agency to designate these zones. A long letter to Regional Director Robert Barbee served as a petition on the topic under the Administrative Procedures Act, and Hession later stressed that "such a zoning effort is required, not discretionary." Barbee, however, disagreed. In a July 8, 1999 response, he reiterated that the Gates of the Arctic SRC "currently does not wish to work further on this issue ... and there is no immediate need to make formal designations. ... We do not agree with your conclusion," he continued, "that NPS regulations mandate formal designations of traditional use areas. ... We do not believe that there is a need to make such [traditional use zone] designations at this time, but will certainly reconsider this decision if in our judgment it becomes necessary to do so in the future." A recently completed subsistence management plan reflects the language of Barbee's July 1999 letter. The plan notes that "Title 36, Part 13, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 13.41 gives the NPS the option of designating areas 'where such uses are traditional' as a management tool, if necessary, but it remains an option and not a fundamental directive of the law or the regulation itself." [144]

HBT's Trade Deadline Wrapup
Jul 31, 2013, 4:58 PM EDT
The non-waiver trade deadline hit at 4PM EDT today. It was pretty uneventful compared to years past, with lots of chatter but very few deals. Here's what we had go down today before the non-waiver trade deadline: The Dodgers acquired Drew Butera from the Twins for a player to be named; The Orioles receive Bud…
UPDATE: The Rays acquire Jesse Crain from the White Sox
Jul 29, 2013, 5:08 PM EDT
UPDATE: The deal is done. Buster Olney reports that the Rays have acquired Jesse Crain from the White Sox for future considerations. Olney believes that the future considerations will be based on how many games Crain, who has a bad shoulder, pitches for Tampa Bay. The more he pitches, the better the return. Crain, if…
Jesse Crain won't be off the DL by the trade deadline
Jul 25, 2013, 1:50 PM EDT
Jesse Crain was supposed to play catch and then throw a bullpen session today, but those plans were canceled after the White Sox reliever suffered what the team is calling a minor setback. Minor or not, it means Crain won't be activated from the disabled list until after the July 31 trade deadline, significantly reducing…
White Sox place Paul Konerko and Jesse Crain on DL
Jul 3, 2013, 4:16 PM EDT

But ace Chris Sale is unavailable, as is 10-and-5 guy Paul Konerko. Heyman doesn't indicate whether…

Chicago's bullpen is in flux after the White Sox reversed their decision to make Chris Sale a closer, but the relief corps gets a boost today with Jesse Crain coming off the disabled list.

Chris Sale moves back to the pen, takes over as White Sox closer
May 4, 2012, 6:09 PM EDT
Now this one is a real shocker: Chris Sale, who has been very impressive in opening the season 3-1 with a 2.81 ERA in his rotation debut for the White Sox, will move back to the pen and take over as the team's closer, it was announced Friday. Health concerns are the obvious reasoning behind…
White Sox reliever Jesse Crain on DL with oblique injury
Apr 27, 2012, 2:48 PM EDT
Jesse Crain hasn't pitched since April 20 because of an oblique injury and after leaving him on the active roster for a week the White Sox placed the reliever on the disabled list today.

Robin Ventura still hasn't named the White Sox's closer
Apr 6, 2012, 11:19 AM EDT
Now that the Royals have officially picked Jonathan Broxton as Joakim Soria's replacement nearly every team has named their closer, but one holdout is the guy with the least managing experience in the bunch (which is to say no managing experience). Robin Ventura played coy with the media yesterday, refusing to disclose his closer while…
Matt Thornton favored over Jesse Crain and Addison Reed as White Sox's closer
Mar 23, 2012, 12:48 PM EDT
White Sox manager Robin Ventura has avoided naming a closer or even giving strong hints about which way he's leaning among Matt Thornton, Jesse Crain, and Addison Reed, but Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times reports that "the smart money" is on Thornton getting the job. Thornton struggled with some save chances early…
Jesse Crain unsure when he'll return from oblique injury
Mar 20, 2012, 1:50 PM EDT
Jesse Crain has been sidelined for more than a week with a strained right oblique muscle and said yesterday that there's no timetable yet for his return. Crain was able to play catch Monday, but told Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune that "we haven't even talked about" when he'll see game action again and…
Blue Jays nab their closer, acquiring Sergio Santos from White Sox
Dec 6, 2011, 12:53 PM EDT
Ryan Madson and Francisco Rodriguez were among those hoping the Blue Jays would spend liberally on a closer.

Santos, once a member of the Toronto farm system as an infielder before he…
Red Sox targeting Twins trio of Fuentes, Crain, and Guerrier

Apparently general manager Theo Epstein and company really liked Minnesota's bullpen down the stretch, because Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com reports that the Red Sox "have their sights focused on" Twins free agent relievers Brian Fuentes, Jesse Crain, and Matt Guerrier. None would require giving up a draft pick to sign, as Guerrier is the only…

Twins offer arbitration to Pavano, Hudson, and Crain

Free agent reliever Jesse Crain wants a chance to close

After the Dodgers chose to non-tender Kuo, the Mariners signed him in February as a free agent. His one-year contract was worth $500,000 plus a bonus if he had made the 25-man roster. It wasn't to be. Kuo had underwent a fifth elbow surgery this offseason, and he even wondered whether he would still be able to pitch. Being one of our favorites, we were all rooting for him to make a comeback and regain his 2010 form.
In 2010 Kuo was nothing short of spectacular. His 1.20 ERA set a new Dodger record for a reliever. He struck out 73 opposing batters in 60 innings. He played in the All-Star Game, and through that magical season he was virtually unhittable. Yet he struggled with the yips and back problems in 2011, and he finished with a very high 9.00 ERA.
Kuo commented on his Spring Training performance before it was announced that he was released.
"It's all about command, and I've been getting better, getting closer," Kuo said. "Baseball is baseball, and when you struggle you keep working to get it right."
Kuo may be able to sign with the Mariners to a minor league deal if he clears waivers. Perhaps it is the end of the road for the 30-year old whose arm has been surgically repaired five times. He has worked back from the brink before, but I'm not sure if his arm can be held together much longer.
If Kuo's baseball career does come to a close, maybe he will open that restaurant in Taiwan he spoke about in the past. We will always have 2010, and we will always have this…

We're going to try to post our thoughts about what we're working on and show production in general, the state of the fulldome community, and anything else that may pop in our heads.
