Customize your mail environment with the light and powerful Claws Mail
Claws Mail offers other useful features, such as the powerful QuickSearch tool, which allows searching through folders and sub-folders based on any criteria. QuickSearch can search in standard headers, but it also has an Extended mode, which enlists the full power of the filtering engine.
Setup Wizard for Sys Admins
System administrators can create a wizard configuration template with the correct values entered in the setup wizard, so users only need to enter their passwords. Using the configuration template, the system administrator can define the server addresses, add LDAP servers or people to the address book, add filtering rules, and load plugins.
To set up a configuration template:
- Start Claws Mail with a user who does not have a ~/.claws-mail directory, click through the wizard without entering any settings, and then use the Save button to exit the wizard.
- Quit Claws Mail.
- Edit the newly created wizard template file ~/.claws-mail/accountrc.tmpl and save it. The template file is fully commented with instructions and details about each entry.
- Delete both ~/.claws-mail/accountrc and ~/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml, then recursively copy the .claws-mail directory to /etc/skel/. If Claws Mail will use MH folders, then also copy the Mail directory to /etc/skel/. Then chown both these directories in /etc/skel/ to root:root.
Claws also supports user-defined hotkeys and provides good mailing list support. Several operations are available from the command line that allow interaction with external applications, such as web browsers or file managers. More than 20 plugins support features such as RSS reading, PDF display, and personal and public calendaring.
If you like a lot of control over your email, and you're looking for a powerful application that is light on resources, give Claws Mail a try.

Jim began his career in 1963 as a freelance photojournalist in the Far East. His first major sale, a Life Magazine cover, was a stock photo of the overthrow of the Ngo Dinh Diem government in Saigon, Vietnam.
He spent the next ten to fifteen years focusing on assignment work, first as an editorial photographer, and later in the corporate area. He regularly filed his outtakes with several stock agencies around the world.
As the stock side of his income grew, Jim studied the needs of the stock photo market, and began to devote more of his shooting time to producing stock images. At about this time the 1976 change in the copyright law went into effect, and the industry began to see rapidly growing demand by commercial and advertising users for stock images.
In the early 80's he helped establish the Mid-Atlantic chapter of American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) and served as Vice President, President and Program Chairman over a period of six years. He served on the national board of ASMP for two years, was on the committee that produced the ASMP Stock Handbook in 1983, and was active in the fight to reverse the IRS rules that required capitalization of all expenses of stock photo production.
In 1989 he published the first edition of Negotiating Stock Photo Prices, a guide to pricing hundreds of stock photo uses. The fifth edition was published in 2001. In 1990, he began publishing Selling-Stock, a bi-monthly newsletter dealing with issues of interest to stock photographers and agencies and libraries that represented their work. The newsletter focused on issues related to marketing stock images. Today Selling-Stock is recognized worldwide as the leading source of in-depth analysis of the stock photo industry. As a result of his many years in the industry and his work with Selling-Stock, Jim has an expert understanding of the stock industry, its standard practices and developing trends. He frequently provides consulting services on stock industry issues to photographers, stock agents and individuals in the investment community.
In 1993, his daughter, Cheryl, joined him in the business. Together they established Stock Connection, an agency designed to provide photographers with greater control over the promotion and marketing of their work than most other stock agencies were offering. The company currently represents selected images from more than 400 photographers.
At age 77, Jim is still excited by the challenges of the Stock Photo Industry and expects to be participating in the marketing of stock photography, and advising stock photographers, far into the future.

Xenakis 15 May 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com American-Russian relations upset by CIA spy scandal CIA spy scandal may be Russia's revenge Russia rebuffs West on S-300 missile shipments to Syria American-Russian relations upset by CIA spy scandal Ryan Fogle, alleged CIA spy in Russia, wearing a blonde wig (AP) Russia has declared US diplomat Ryan Fogle "persona non grata" and ordered to be deported, after he was arrested for allegedly spying for the U.S. This could be a movie. He was arrested wearing a blue checked shirt, a baseball cap, and an ill-fitting blonde wig, and carried a letter offering $1 million for unidentified secret information to a Russian recruit, a counter-terrorism officer who specializes in the Caucasus. Usually, spy scandals are kept relatively quiet by all the nations involved, but in this case the Russians are making a very big deal of it, releasing photos and interviews to the Russian press. BBC CIA spy scandal may be Russia's revenge The fact that the Russians made the CIA spy scandal such a high profile event is probably a way for Russia's president Vladimir Putin to send a message. It's well-known that Putin is still furious over what happened in Libya. Putin went along with a United Nations Security Council resolution for a no-fly zone over Libya, and then it turned into a major military operation to bring down Russia's ally, Muammar Gaddafi. Putin has vowed never to let anything like that happen again, particularly not in Syria. Putin is also said to be angry that Russia is being blamed for the Boston Marathon terrorist attacks, since the perpetrators were from the Caucasus. In Syria, Putin has expressed opposition to any Western moves to send weapons or even humanitarian aid to Syrian forces opposing president Bashar al-Assad. In the meantime, we've been having these silly dog and pony shows put on by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry running around saying that we're going to reach agreement with the Russians, to bring a political solution to the Syria crisis. So, one possibility is that Putin made this CIA spy scandal such a high profile event in order to get some revenge against the Americans, and also to illuminate the weakness of the West in Syria negotiations. For Russia, the bottom line regarding the Syria crisis is that a ruler has the right to use military force to secure stability in his domain and the responsibility to crush a revolution of any color at whatever cost -- the same policy that's followed in both Russia and China. Jamestown Russia rebuffs West on S-300 missile shipments to Syria Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went to Sochi, Russia, on Tuesday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to warn him against sending arms to Syria, especially S-300 surface-to-air missiles that are capable of shooting down Israeli planes. Instead, in a statement regarded as a warning to the West to stay out of Syria, Putin said, "In this crucial period, it is especially important to avoid any moves that can shake the situation." It's thought that he was specifically warning against a repeat of last week's Israeli warplane bombing of weapons sites in Damascus, the capital of Syria. However, according to one analyst, that message was rejected by Netanyahu, who let Putin know that Israel would destroy the S-300s when they arrived.

A Willingness to Learn
Willingness is one of the keys to my sobriety. In early recovery as much as today, I must maintain an open mind and a willingness to learn something new. Whether it is accepting a Higher Power into my life, letting character defects go, getting a sponsor, or listening to the experience of others, willingness is an essential quality of my spiritual growth.
Willingness in Early Recovery
When I was newly sober, willingness was one of the qualities that saved my life. Although I did not immediately want quality sobriety at first, I was willing to go to treatment. I did not see it as willingness at the time, but I had enough of an openness to consider an alternative to the way I was living. Unfortunately, the only reason I had this amount of willingness was because of where I was emotionally; I had become emotionally exhausted, confused, and completely afraid of life.
Attending twelve-step meetings, I had the slightest amount of willingness, and was able to listen to speakers and fellows share their experiences. With the little amount of willingness I did have, I heard enough to help me grow. I did not have the most open mind, nor the most willingness in the room, but I was reminded that I only needed a little to begin.
I heard repeatedly to get a sponsor, even if it was a temporary sponsor. I heard I needed to work the steps, help others, get commitments, and go to a meeting every day. All the cliche pieces of advice for newcomers, I took in. I had enough willingness to get a sponsor on my fourth day of sobriety. He told me he would be my sponsor one day at a time until I found a new one, and that I should call him the next day so we could start working together. With over 30 years of sobriety, I had enough willingness to believe in what this man was telling me. He is still my sponsor today, and we have grown extremely close over the past several years.
Being a newcomer, willingness is not an easy quality to come in contact with always. My ego was in the way, telling me that I could do it differently. Spending my whole life "knowing everything, always," it was a dramatic shift to have it brought to my attention that I needed help. However, my sponsor asked me in my first 30 days one simple question, "Are you willing to just entertain the idea that maybe there is a different way for you to interact with life?" My answer was that I was, and this was and still is a great reminder to remain open-minded and willing.
Willingness and Faith
Willingness also takes a crucial role in the development of my relationship with my Higher Power. When my perception of a Higher Power first began to develop, I had to have willingness to even consider the possibility of it. Raised in a Jewish family, I attended a Catholic high school before moving to rural Costa Rica, where Roman Catholicism was by far the most popular religion amongst the community. My religious views were cloudy at best, and I bashed any form of a "god" as weak, ignorant, and irresponsible. Not truly an atheist, I acted like one as a defense mechanism.
When I began attending meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, I was completely put off by the talk of a Higher Power or of God. However, I had the willingness to stay, and ignore what I did not need. As time went on, my willingness spread to this aspect of my recovery, and I considered the presence of a power greater than myself in my life. As many people getting sober, the rooms and meetings were my first sense of a Higher Power. I thought of love, the energy in the room, or of compassion as my god. It took a growth in willingness for me to even accept any of these into my life.
As my growth continued, I began praying and meditating as suggested by the program and my sponsor. Willingness was one of the most frequent things I prayed for (and continue to pray for). My relationship with the world grows with my willingness. As I have maintained an open mind with my faith, my sense of a power greater than myself has greatly changed. With willingness, I become open to change and do not get attached to one idea of a god that I have set in my mind.
As the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions says on page 34, "There is only one key, and it is called willingness."
Daily Thought 1/19/12 – Valuing Our Spirit
"The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it."
-Henri J. M. Nouwen
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?"
-Henry Ford
Thy Will, Not Mine
I have felt at times in my life that my Higher Power was not there when I reached for it. I also find that I often pray for things for situations to turn out how I want them to. The Twelve N' Twelve Quote of the Day today was "In the morning we think of the hours to come. Perhaps we think of our day's work and the chances it may afford us to be useful and helpful, or of some special problem that it may bring. Possibly today will see a continuation of a serious and as yet unresolved problem left over from yesterday. Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped. In that case, we are asking God to do it ourway. Therefore, we ought to consider each request carefully to see what its real merit is. Even so, when making specific requests, it will be well to add to each one of them this qualification: "…if it be Thy will." We ask simply that throughout the day God place in us the best understanding of His will that we can have for that day, and that we be given the grace by which we may carry it out."
This reminded me that I must pray for God's will, not mine. When I am praying for something to turn out the way I want it to, I am setting myself up for failure. As the popular quote from "Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict" (or "Acceptance was the Answer" in the 4th Edition) says, acceptance is the answer to my relationship with God.
When I am asking for things that are within my will, my prayer is futile. If I am praying for my will to be done, I find that my Higher Power is absent when I most need it. Hard times come, anger comes, friends relapse, things don't go my way. When I am not praying for God's will to be done, I am far less accepting when these things happen. When I pray for God's will, not mine, I find that I am able to accept these situations with an amazing level of serenity.
In Buddhism, the first step of the Noble Eightfold Path is Right View. I find this applicable to this topic in that when I am in Right View, I see that God's will is always being carried out, and THE ONLY THING STOPPING IT IS ME. When I am seeing more clearly, working to eliminate my warped perceptions (which is indeed all of them), I see that it truly is my will that interferes.
One piece of advice I have found especially helpful is to practice my Right View specifically when I am praying and meditating. When I am asking for God's help, I check to see if my perceptions are interfering. I do not pray for many things other than happiness for others, compassion, and patience.
Big Book – p. 63
"Though our decision was a vital and crucial step, it could have little permanent effect unless at once followed by a strenuous effort to face, and to be rid of, the things in ourselves which had been blocking us."
Big Book – p. 52
"The Wright brothers' almost childish faith that they could build a machine which would fly was the mainspring of their accomplishment. Without that, nothing could have happened."
1/5/12 – Making Our Happiness
"God can move mountains, but please bring a shovel."
"If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else."
-Chinese Proverb
"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
-Benjamin Disraeli
1/4/12 – Faith and Fear
"God can move mountains, but please bring a shovel."
"Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. And lo, no one was there."
"Faith makes things possible, not easy."
Alcoholics Anonymous – Breaking Boundaries
I am currently in the San Francisco Bay Area. Living in Santa Monica, I believe I am blessed with one of the strongest recovering communities in the world. West Los Angeles is full of people of all ages and nationalities, from parents to their children, from homeless heroin addicts to soccer moms. It is a beautiful thing, yet traveling to Northern California has changed my perspective.
The Vicious Battle
It was brought to my attention once again that Fear is one side of the coin while Faith is the other. I was encouraged by a mentor to look at a few things regarding my faith and fear. My direction came in several steps, and I have found them to be super helpful, so I thought I would share my experience in hopes that it would help someone out there!

best crockpot recipe for pulled pork?
Trying to make a pork convert of Mr. Pine, so I need to wow him with pulled pork. I'll make my own bbq sauce (not too sweet), but I've seen some weird recipes for crockpot pulled pork--many had various sodas poured over the meat. Can you do better than that??? Gracias.
My favorite is just what you said-home made BBQ sauce poured over a boston but and cook on low for 10+ hours depending on the temp of the crock pot. (My new crock pot cooks at a much higher temp then the old one.)
Once the pork is fall apart tender, remove from sauce and crank up to high. While the sauce is boiling, shred the pork with two forks or your hands. Then depending on whether you like saucy or dry either put back in the sauce before serving, or plate the pulled pork and serve sauce on the side.
Once thing I do that many have called me out on is defat my BBQ sauce after the pork is cooked. It takes longer because I strain the sauce and pour int a de-fatter, let cool slightly and then boil down the defatted sauce. I like the taste much better.
re: foodieX2
Thanks, foodie. Thought I'd need to cook in in {something}, shred, then use my homemade BBQ sauce. That's why I was snarling up my nose at the sugary-soda idea.
I like to cook my pork into crockpot with a beer, a touch of BBQ sauce and water to cover. After 6 or so hours, I remove most of the liquid, shred the meat, add sauce, and cook until ready to eat
I use a basic barbecue rub (I think I use McCormick) on the pork and a little beer (Newcastle Brown Ale). Cook for 8 hours on low. Instead of sauce I like to toss the pulled meat with a vinegary sauce that I found for pulled chicken. http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/pu...
For those people who prefer sauce I toss the meat w/barbecue sauce before serving. I do it kind of sparingly so people can use as much as they need.
My favorite recipe just uses my homemade bbq sauce poured over and then cook in the slow cooker. I have made the root beer pulled pork (I use a craft root beer) and it was very good.
I like Carolina vinegar style pulled pork, not the sweet one, and find a dry rub on the pork yields better tasting pulled pork. I do something along these lines.
I like the onions in the pulled pork and cut it a little finer than quarters.
re: chowser
That sounds pretty good., chowser. I have tried many sauces and have reached the conclusion that I just don't enjoy any tomato-based BBQ sauce, spicy or sweet or anything in-between. Vinegar style might work. I'm not southern either; CA born and raised.
re: tcamp
I'm the same way. I avoid any that call for barbecue sauce in a jar, especially ones that are sweet. I'm from California, too (though not born and raised but more years than any other place in my life)--is there a connection? I don't follow the recipe exactly but play w/ it, depending on mood and company.
My favorite is "Slow Simmered Pork Roast" from Jeff Smith's _Three Ancient Cuisines_. The book has you simmer it, but I do it in the slow cooker. It is great with homemade bbq sauce.
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
3 1/2 - 4 lb. Package pork carnitas (chunks of Boston butt roast)
16 ounce jar of barbecue sauce
12 ounce bottle of beer
8 ounce can of pineapple juice (You can add another 4ounces if you like but no more.)
pork rub consisting of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black ground black pepper
1 large or 2 medium onions rough chopped
Put onions in bottom of slow cooker. Rub pork rub onto chunks of pork and put in crockpot.
Add barbecue sauce, dear, and pineapple juice to crockpot. Put the lid on and set too low for eight hours.
Remove pork to separate plate to cool. While pork is cooling. Strain and defat 4 cups of braising liquid. Put this liquid in a saucepan on medium heat and reduced to 2 – 3 cups. Be sure to bring liquid to boil to kill any lingering bacteria. Adjust sauce to taste. It may be necessary to add vinegar if the sauce is too sweet. It may need liquid smoke. You may want to add more barbecue sauce to thicken it. If you don't wish to use more barbecue sauce you could thicken the sauce with a teaspoon of cornstarch in a slurry.
Use two forks to shred pork. Discard excess fat. Add some of the braising liquid to the pork and mix. Serve on hamburger buns with a ring of sweet onion and some relish.
Use a whole bone in boston butt if you can't find carnitas.
I can't remember where I got this recipe, but here is our favorite (and it freezes great!)
Mustard Pulled Pork
2 Tbsp. of butter
2 ½ cups chopped white onions
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 ½ Tbsp. dry mustard
2 Tbsp. mustard seeds
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. crushed red chili flakes
½ tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
Salt & pepper
5lb. pork shoulder or Boston butt, cut into 2-inch cubes
Day 1
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions and garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Add remaining ingredients in order through salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Place the pork in crock pot and pour sauce over top. Cook on low, 6-8 hours, until tender enough to pull with a fork. Let cool overnight.
Day 2
The melted fat will have solidified on top of the meat and will appear bright yellow. Scoop it off with a spoon and discard. Remove the meat from the mixture and pull apart with fingers, discarding any connective tissue. Spoon some of the cooking sauce into the pork to moisten and flavor it and discard the rest.

Horror director Tim Sullivan has announced his new production company will be making Hellions.
"As part of my ongoing mission to become the next Roger Corman (lol), I am thrilled to announce I'll be producing Hellions (think Juno meets Halloween)," director Tim Sullivan announced to his Facebook followers.
"It's to be directed by Gavin Heffernan and made thru The Clubhouse, my new production company with Gavin, Brian McCulley, John Crockett, Adam Robitel and Paul Ward!"
Sullivan told Fangoria the project would be an '80s-horror throwback and gave them the exclusive conceptual artwork displayed above.
Written by Canadian screenwriter Pascal Trottier, Hellions centres around a night of terror for a 17-year-old girl who must defend herself against an onslaught of creatures on Halloween night.
Sullivan also recently previewed the horror anthology Chillerama at Comic-Con, having directed a segment of that film.

Can mixing the teen speak of Juno with the horror of Halloween produce a good hybrid? Or did that already fail with Jennifer's Body? Tell us below!

2014 Season Review: The Ex-AceBy · Comments
The 2014 season is over and it's time to look back at the year that was. Our old What Went Right/Wrong format has gotten stale, so it's time for a new review format. We'll review individual players, performances, tendencies, all sorts of stuff in the coming days and weeks.
By just about any measure, last season was the worst of CC Sabathia's career. He did manage to soak up 211 innings and that's worth something, but he ranked 76th with a 4.78 ERA and 72nd with 0.3 bWAR out of 81 qualified starters. Sabathia led baseball with 112 earned runs allowed and his 2.69 K/BB fell off big time from the 4.48 K/BB ratio he put up in 2012. It was an awful season and everyone and their mother had theories why CC dropped off so much.
Despite the terrible year, there were some reasons to believe Sabathia would rebound this year, specifically that he was a year out from elbow surgery and would have a normal offseason. He was also working to add a cutter. I, personally, also thought he couldn't possibly be any worse. Maybe he wouldn't get back to being an ace but he would be a serviceable mid-rotation horse, someone who soaked up a boatload of innings and was league average or better at preventing runs. I would have taken that in a heartbeat.
Instead, Sabathia did get worse in 2014. He got worse and he got hurt. Sabathia made just eight starts for the Yankees this summer and threw only 46 innings — he failed to complete six full innings of work three times, equaling his total from 2011-12 combined — with a 5.28 ERA and 4.78 FIP. It all started in the first inning of the first game of the season too. The Astros (!) tagged Sabathia for four runs in the first inning on Opening Day and only twice in those eight starts did he allowed fewer than four runs.
There were flashes of Sabathia figuring it out but one of the ways we cope with Ace Sucking Syndrome (ASS) is over-analyzing the hell out of every little thing. I did it. More than once. But none of the positive signs — the times he's retired 12 in a row in the middle of a start, stuff like that — meant anything in the end. Sabathia was getting bombed on the regular, allowing ten homers in those 46 innings (1.96 HR/9 and 23.3 HR/FB%). Hit Tracker says those ten homers averaged 403.1 feet, so they weren't wall-scrapers.
Sabathia's season came to an end following his May 10th start against the Brewers, when the Yankees placed him on the disabled list with fluid in his twice-surgically repaired right knee. He was expected to return in June or July and he actually did go out on a minor league rehab assignment at one point — I completely forgot about that — but Sabathia eventually suffered a setback. It was feared he would need career-threatening microfracture surgery after a stem cell treatment didn't work, but additional tests showed he only needed the knee cleaned out. Either way, his season was over.
If you're looking for a silver lining in Sabathia's season, it's that both his strikeout (9.39 K/9 and 23.0 K%) and walk (1.96 BB/9 and 4.8 BB%) rates were stellar. He also got a lot of ground balls (48.0%). That's all well and good, it's better than having crappy peripherals, but Sabathia's struggles are rooted in the type of contact he allowed, which was routinely hard. Unfortunately there is no publicly available data measuring this stuff. Line drive rates are fickle — his 22.1% liner rate was in line with the last four or five years anyway — because of scorer bias. All we have is anecdotal evidence and that sucks.
What we do know is that Sabathia's velocity continued to trend downward — he averaged 90.76 mph in 2014, down from 92.36 in 2013 and 93.31 in 2013 according to Brooks Baseball — and that's completely expected since he's a 34-year-old with nearly 3,000 regular season innings on his arm. Velocity loss is inevitable and not reversible. That's life. It happens to everyone. Sabathia's location was ever so slightly worse than it had been, particularly when it came to grooving pitches over the plate (via Brooks):
You can get away with grooving ~6.5% of your fastballs like Sabathia did from 2011-13 when you're throwing 93+. In his limited time this year he grooved 7.3% of his fastballs while averaging just north of 90 mph and that's a big difference. Since 2010, opponent's slugging percentage against Sabathia's fastball has steadily reason from .373 to .447 to .479 to .486 to .722 (!) this year. Obviously there's some sample size noise in there, but the point stands. Hitters are getting mighty comfortable in the box against CC.
The location issues — it seemed like whenever Sabathia missed, he missed up in the zone and/or right out over the plate — could stem from lots of stuff. There's a million variables here. He could be overthrowing to compensate for lost velocity, his landings could have been sloppy because his knee was unstable, his mechanics could have been out of what for whatever reason. I'm sure all of that and more have contributed to his problems. Sabathia's release point has been steadily dropping over the years (via Brooks) …
… which, again, is fairly common among pitchers his age, especially with that workload. At some point your shoulder just isn't strong enough to maintain your arm slot. Sabathia's dropped his arm over time and that at least partially explains the extra cut we see on his pitches from time to time. Extra cut that usually took the pitch over the plate and into the happy zone for hitters. We saw plenty of that last year and we saw plenty of it again this year. He had the same issues as last season only worse.
Sabathia had his knee cleaned out in August and soon thereafter had a second stem cell treatment (as planned). We recently learned he has started throwing and will soon get back up on a mound before shutting it down for the winter and going through his usual offseason routine. I love CC, he's one of the my favorite Yankees of all-time, but I learned my lesson last year and I'm not expecting a bounce back next year. I'm not expecting anything. If he comes back and dominates with a healthy knee, that would be awesome. If he comes back and is a league average inning eater, great. If he comes back and stinks again, well that'll stink, but that's sorta what I'm expecting at this point.
The Yankees are stuck with Sabathia for another two years and possibly a third — his 2017 vesting option is based on the health of his shoulder, not his knee — so they have to hope this knee surgery helps him get back to being a useful pitcher. Sabathia is a tough dude who has pitched through knee problems and a bone spur in his elbow these last few years and I have not doubt that if he fails and is again one of the worst pitchers in baseball, it won't be for a lack of effort on his part. The Yankees have a lot of uncertainty in their rotation heading into next season and, after both this year and last, Sabathia is a huge part of that uncertainty.
Update: Hardy agrees to three-year extension with Orioles
1:34pm: According to Roch Kubatko, Hardy and the Orioles have agreed to a three-year extension worth $40M or so. Scratch him of the list.
12:00pm: Via Dan Martin: Orioles shortstop and impending free agent J.J. Hardy said he will listen to the Yankees if they come calling this offseason. "It's not something I can look into the future and see what's going to happen. I've just got to focus on helping our team right now and obviously the playoff this year. But if it comes to it, I'll have to think about it more," he said. "This is my fourth year here and I feel like this organization, we're going in the right direction. It's a good group of guys here. It's something if they came to me, I would listen, also."
Hardy, 32, hit .268/.309/.372 (90 wRC+) with nine homers in 141 games this year while missing time with lower back problems. He hit 20+ homers every year from 2011-13 as well as in 2007-08, plus he's a very good defender despite an unconventional over-the-top throwing motion that makes you wonder if the ball will make it to first base on the fly. There will be a bunch of quality shortstops on the market this winter and Hardy is probably the best two-way player, though the back trouble dates back to last year and that's kinda scary. Jhonny Peralta signed a four-year, $52M contract last winter and I suspect Hardy will get something similar even though he'll cost a draft pick to sign. · (333) ·
The Five Shortest Yankees' Homers of 2014By · Comments
Earlier this week we looked back at the five longest homeruns of the 2014 Yankees' season, and now it's time to flip the script. We're now going to look at the shortest homers of the season. This post is made possible first by Hit Tracker and all its wonderful and freely available data, and also by the new Yankee Stadium and it's cozy right field post. I honestly look more forward to writing this post than the longest homers post each year because these cheap homers make me laugh.
The shortest homer in baseball this year was, of course, an inside the parker. Brandon Barnes hit it and it only traveled 304 feet. Yes, there was a missed dive involved. Here's the video. Usually there are a few 200-something-foot inside the parkers that bloop in and take a weird bounce by an outfielder, but not this year apparently. The shortest homerun to actually leave the yard this season was this David Ortiz blast that wrapped out the Pesky Pole, which traveled only 318 feet. Only two other dingers traveled less than 330 feet this year. Here are the 2012 and 2013 shortest homeruns posts. Now for the 2014 edition.
5. July 2nd: Brian McCann vs. Jake Odorizzi
As you might suspect, Yankee Stadium will be featured prominently in this post. The fifth shortest homer of the Yankees' season was a cheapie to right field, the kind of homer that McCann was never able to hit in Turner Field all those years with the Braves. Odorizzi left a 90 mph heater up in the zone, McCann flicked his wrists, and hit a high fly ball that landed just beyond the wall in the field field corner. This one had a nice big arch to it. Hit Tracker says it traveled 342 feet, which is hard to believe. Doesn't look like it went much farther than the 314 on the wall, but whatever. The dinger left McCann's bat at 94.5 mph.
4. August 23rd: Carlos Beltran vs. Scott Carroll
This homerun a) came on Joe Torre Day at Yankee Stadium, and b) was so short that White Sox manager Robin Ventura had it reviewed to make sure a fan didn't reach over the wall to grab it. The replay confirmed the initial call though, that it left the yard for a sixth inning solo homerun. Beltran had just received a cortisone shot in his troublesome elbow, and even though it barely snuck over the wall, it was a sign he was feeling good enough to swing the bat. The ball traveled only 339 feet with an exit velocity of 94.4 mph.
3. September 24th: Mark Teixeira vs. Brad Brach
Technically, this homer didn't go over the fence. It was stopped short by the foul pole. This Teixeira blast was the team's third shortest homer of the year, clanking off the bottom of the pole in right field. I'd say no more than 10-15 feet up the pole from the top of the wall. In a park with a normal sized right field, it would have continued to slice foul and that would be that. The at-bat would have continued. Instead, the Yankees walked away with a pair of runs. Yankee Stadium giveth and Yankees Stadium taketh, I guess. Teixeira's dinger traveled only 335 feet and left his bat at 98.5 mph.
2. September 14th: Brian McCann vs. Darren O'Day
Believe it or not, this short dinger was not hit at Yankee Stadium. It was hit at Camden Yards and it was kind of a big deal for a few minutes. The Yankees were barely hanging on in the wildcard race at the time and they were tied 1-1 with the Orioles in the ninth inning on Sunday Night Baseball. O'Day's sinker stayed out over the plate and didn't sink, a pitch that is more or less a batting practice fastball coming from an opposite hand sidearmer. McCann hammered it to right and just over the big wall with the scoreboard. The Yankees eventually lost the game in walk-off fashion but, for at least a little while, McCann gave the team some hope. This homer went 333 feet with a 97.7 mph exit velocity.
1. June 17th: Brett Gardner vs. Marcus Stroman
I'm disappointed Gardner hit the shortest homer of the season because it's almost cliche. The scrappy little speed guy willing the ball just over the fence, that sorta thing. Lame. Anyway, this was nothing more than a hanging slider that Gardner tomahawked down the right field line and off the Yankee Stadium foul ball. Teixeira's ball clanked 10-15 up the pole, right? This one hit about six feet up the pole, that's all. It was barely high enough and it would have sailed foul had right feet been 315 feet away from home plate instead of 314 feet away. At 331 feet and 98.9 mph off the bat, this was the shortest homer hit by a Yankee and fourth shortest outside the park homerun in baseball overall this past season. Though I guess it really didn't leave the park. You know what I mean.
Wednesday Night Open ThreadBy · Comments
Got some bad news to pass along: Bill Madden and Filip Bondy report the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center on the campus of Montclair State was broken into last night and several pieces of memorabilia from Yogi's career were stolen. The thieves were described as a "team of professionals" who targeted very specific pieces. The investigation is ongoing. Hopefully they catch these guys and Yogi's stuff is returned. People are the worst.
Here is your open thread for the night. There's no baseball tonight — the ALCS and NLCS begin Friday and Saturday, respectively — but hockey seasons starts, so that's cool. NBC Sports Network is showing a few games though none of the Rangers, Islanders, or Devils are playing. The Knicks are also playing a preseason game. Talk about any of that stuff and more right here.
Forbes: Yankees, YES Network among most valuable brands in sports
Forbes published their #brand value rankings yesterday, and, unsurprisingly, both the Yankees and the YES Network rate very highly. Despite a second straight postseason-less year, the Yankees saw their brand value increase from $443M to $531M in 2014, the highest among all pro sports teams. Real Madrid is second at $484M. YES was the seventh highest business brand, going from $625M to $680M. It's behind companies like Nike and Adidas, among others.
According to the write-up, the team's brand value "captures the name recognition and incremental earnings power that comes with winning 27 World Series. But it omits the portion of the team's media, ticket and concession revenue that any team playing in the Bronx would get, and also excludes the $26 million that each of the 30 MLB teams took in from broadcasters Fox , TBS and ESPN in 2013." Earlier this year Forbes valued the Yankees at an estimated $2.5 billion, making them the fourth most valuable sports franchise in the world. · (114) ·
Prospect Profile: Jacob LindgrenBy · Comments
Jacob Lindgren | LHP
Lindgren, who will turn 22 in March, is from Bay St. Louis in Mississippi, which is about 50 miles outside New Orleans. He played both football and baseball at St. Stanislaus High School and won state championships in both sports. Lindgren had a 1.26 ERA with 197 strikeouts in 107.1 innings as a junior and senior while earning All-State honors. The Cubs selected him in the 12th round of the 2011 draft, but he did not sign and instead followed through on his commitment to Mississippi State.
As a freshman with the Bulldogs, Lindgren was a middle reliever who eventually worked his way into the rotation and made two starts late in the year. He finished the season with a 3.18 ERA and a 24/7 K/BB in 28.1 innings across 14 appearances, including the two starts. Lindgren was named to the Conference Freshman Academic Honor Roll and played summer ball with the East Texas Pump Jacks of the Texas Collegiate League.
The late season audition didn't just earn Lindgren a rotation spot as a sophomore, he started on Opening Day and was the team's Friday night starter for much of the year. Lindgren had a 4.18 ERA in 56 innings spread across 14 starts, striking out 65 and walking 18. He was again named to the Conference Academic Honor Roll. After the season, Lindgren pitched for the Bourne Braves of the Cape Code, posting a 4.15 ERA with six strikeouts and one walk in 4.2 relief innings.
Lindgren moved back into the bullpen full-time his junior year once it was decided the whole starting thing wasn't going to work out. He quickly emerged as one of the top relievers in the country, pitching to a 0.81 ERA with 100 strikeouts and 25 walks in 55.1 innings. He was used as a multi-inning high-leverage reliever rather, not as the closer. Lindgren was a candidate for both the Stopper of the Year Award (top reliever) and Gregg Olson Award (breakout player) in addition to being named to the Conference Academic Honor Roll a third time.
Prior to the 2014 draft, Baseball America and Keith Law (subs. req'd) ranked Lindgren as the 50th and 67th best prospect in the draft class, respectively. Baseball America had him as the second best prospect in the state of Mississippi. The Yankees selected Lindgren in the second round (55th overall) of this June's draft, which was their top pick. He signed within about a week of the draft for the full slot $1,018,700 bonus.
Pro Debut
Lindgren made his pro debut two weeks after signing and it was nothing more than a tune-up appearance with the rookie Gulf Coast League Yankees. He struck out two in a scoreless inning. The Yankees bumped Lindgren up to Low-A Charleston (5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K), then to High-A Tampa (7.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 17 K), then to Double-A Trenton (11.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 9 BB, 18 K). All told, Lindgren struck out 48 batters and walked 13 in 25 pro innings after signing (2.16 ERA).
Scouting Report
Listed at 5-foot-11 and anywhere from 180-205 lbs., Lindgren is a short little lefty who regularly sits in the 92-95 mph range his fastball, which runs back inside on lefties. His moneymaker is a vicious low-to-mid-80s slider with hard and late break that chews up righties and lefties alike. Lindgren turns his back to hitters during his delivery and the deception helps his fastball-slider combo play up. Here's some video:
Lindgren does not have a changeup nor will he need one going forward because he's a full-time reliever — both Brian Cashman and amateur scouting director Damon Oppenheimer confirmed he will remain in the bullpen going forward. His fastball sits in the upper-80s as a starter and his command is just okay overall, so there isn't enough upside to make it worth trying him in the rotation. Lindgren played against top competition in the SEC throughout his college career and his makeup is said to be well-suited for a late-inning role.
2015 Outlook
The Yankees will invite Lindgren to big league Spring Training next year and the expectation is that he will be given every opportunity to win a bullpen job. If he doesn't, he'll go to Triple-A Scranton and bide his time. The Yankees didn't draft Lindgren with their top pick — even if it was in the second round — to coddle him in the minors for several years. They aggressively moved him up the ladder this summer and he'll make his MLB debut at some point next season, likely sooner rather than later. If he doesn't, then something went very wrong.
My Take
I don't love the idea of taking a reliever with your top pick, though the Yankees did not have a first rounder and these days the talent comes off the board fairly linearly. The best players go first. Their options with the 55th overall selection were some raw high schoolers — the kind of players they haven't had much success developing lately — or a near-MLB-ready reliever. They opted for a reliever and Lindgren will help him in some capacity this season. I like that Lindgren has an elite put-away pitch in his slider and that he isn't just a specialist; he's an Andrew Miller-esque southpaw who will be able to pitch full innings against both lefties and righties. It'll be nice to see a top draft pick pay some immediate dividends after these last few years.
King: Yankees do not appear to have serious interest in Yasmany Tomas
Via George King: The Yankees do not appear to have serious interest in free agent Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas, who is expected to receive a nine-figure contract. "He is a good player, but for $100M? I don't know. He is better than [Rusney Castillo], but that doesn't mean he is worth $100M," said one evaluator to King.
Tomas, who turns 24 next month, worked out for scouts two weeks ago and King says the Yankees attended the showcase. He's been traveling around for private workouts these last two weeks though it's unclear if the Yankees invited him to Tampa for one. I've been saying this the whole time: if Tomas truly looks to be a middle of the order right-handed hitter with power, the Yankees should be all over him. Guys with that skillset at age (almost) 24 don't come around all that often. · (324) ·
The 2014 season is over and it's time to look back at the year that was. Our old What Went Right/Wrong format has gotten stale, so it's time for a new review format. We'll review individual players, performances, tendencies, all sorts of stuff in the coming days and weeks.
It happens every year like clockwork. Some seldom-known player shows up to Spring Training, has a strong camp, and fans clamor for him to make the team. He doesn't, he goes to Triple-A, he performs exactly like he has every other year in his career, and fans forget about him by June. Happens to every team every year. This isn't something unique to the Yankees. But, every once in a while, that player does stick.
* * *
The Legend of Yangervis Solarte started in early January, when the Yankees signed the then-26-year-old minor league journeyman to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. The Tigers were after him as well, but Solarte was put off by their Ian Kinsler pickup because it blocked a potential spot for him. The Yankees flexed their financial muscle and signed him to a nice deal worth $22,000 per month in the minors. That's big bucks for a minor league deal.
Solarte came to Spring Training and was lumped into the infield competition with guys like Dean Anna, Eduardo Nunez, Zelous Wheeler, and Scott Sizemore. He was a total afterthought. No one knew who he was and his minor league track record wasn't particularly impressive — .282/.331/.404 (~91 wRC+) in over 1,100 plate appearances at Triple-A with the Rangers from 2012-13 — so there wasn't much of a reason to get excited. Solarte switch-hit and he could play all over the field, which is great, but a ton of guys in the minors do that.
Then, in camp, Solarte was that guy. That guy who just hit and hit and hit. He played a different position just about everyday — Solarte played five games at second, eleven at short, four at third, and five in left during Grapefruit League play — and just kept hitting. Solarte ended Spring Training with a .410/.452/.615 batting line in 47 plate appearances while facing mostly MLB caliber pitching according to Baseball-Reference's quality of competition metric. He was the guy. The guy everyone wanted to make the team but was destined for Triple-A.
But then something weird happened: Solarte actually made the team. The Yankees decided enough was enough and it was time to move on from Nunez, who was designated for assignment before Opening Day and traded to the Twins for a Single-A arm. Solarte took Nunez's roster spot and his uniform number, No. 26. With Brendan Ryan starting the season on the disabled list a back problem, the first five or six weeks of the regular season were essentially a continuation of the Spring Training competition between Solarte and Anna, who also made the club.
Solarte's first career big league plate appearance was not exactly a garbage time situation — he pinch-hit for Kelly Johnson against the left-handed Kevin Chapman with two men on the base and the Yankees down 2-0 in the seventh inning of the second game of the season. Solarte banged into a 4-6-3 double play to kill the rally and later popped up to end the game in his second plate appearance. It wasn't the most exciting MLB debut after such a stellar camp, but what can you do. It was two plate appearances and I'm sure he was nervous.
The Solarte Partay began in earnest the next day, when Joe Girardi gave Solarte is first career start (at third base) with the lefty Brett Oberholtzer on the mound. Solarte recorded his first big league hit on a ground ball single back up the middle in his first at-bat then scored his first career run on Carlos Beltran's single later in the inning. He doubled to left field in his next at-bat and singled again in his third at-bat, which was nothing more than an infield pop-up the Astros didn't catch because they're the Astros:
That was also his first career run batted in. I'm sure he'll tell his grandkids it was a screaming line drive into the gap but they won't believe him. This is the internet age and they'll pull up the video on their phones or whatever the hell the kids carry in the future.
Anyway, the 3-for-3 showing earned Solarte another start the next day. Two doubles in that game earned him another start the next day. Two singles in that game kept him in the lineup the next day. And on and on it went. Solarte went 11-for-22 in his first six starts and 19-for-49 (.388) in his first 14 starts. He also started an around-the-horn triple play in the middle of April, in his 16th career game:
Even if he hadn't come out of the gate so strong, Solarte would have stayed in the starting lineup anyway because Mark Teixeira's hamstring injury forced Johnson to play first base. Solarte took advantage of the opportunity and just kept hitting. Through April he had a .303/.404/.461 (147 wRC+) batting line and through May he had a .288/.361/.441 (126 wRC+) batting line. He hit his first career homerun off Grant Balfour in the same game as the triple play.
Of course, there were slumps along the way. Slumps that made you think the Solarte Partay was over and he was going back to being a minor league journeyman. There was the 2-for-19 (.105) in late-April, the 1-for-14 (.071) in mid-May, and the 2-for-24 (.083) in late-May. Solarte rebounded well those times, but his June slump effectively ended his time in pinstripes. He went 10-for-61 (.164) in June, including an ugly 0-for-28 skid that spanned nine team games.
Solarte's season batting line sat at a still respectable .263/.345/.404 (112 wRC+) after the 0-for-28, though the blush was off the rose and he was trending in the wrong direction. The Yankees shipped him to Triple-A Scranton on July 3rd — the move cleared a 25-man roster spot for Wheeler — hoping he would find his strike in the minors. Solarte went 12-for-20 (.600) with three doubles in five games with the RailRiders before being recalled on July 10th, when Beltran was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list.
After appearing in just four more games with the Yankees — he went 1-for-10 in those four games — Solarte was traded to the Padres with Single-A pitching prospect Rafael DePaula for Chase Headley on July 22nd. The Yankees got what they could out of him then cashed in their chip for a third base upgrade. Solarte finished his time in pinstripes with a .254/.337/.381 (104 wRC+) line with six homers, 30 walks, and 34 strikeouts in 289 plate appearances. He played adequate defense at mostly third base but also saw time time at second and at short.
Following the trade to San Diego, Solarte hit .267/.336/.355 (101 wRC+) with four homers, 23 walks, and 24 strikeouts in 246 plate appearances while splitting his time between second, short, third, and left field. An oblique injury hampering him late-August. Ultimately, his numbers with the Yankees and his numbers with the Padres look very similar. Headley was a big boost at third base both at the plate and in the field. I'm guessing both sides were happy with the trade.

Solarte was found money for the Yankees. They can talk all they want about how they thought he could be a useful player when they signed him, but I'm guessing that if you gave the team's decision-makers and pro scouts a truth serum, they'd tell you they didn't expect him to be a better than league-average hitter for nearly 300 plate appearances. They milked Solarte for all they could then used him to acquire a legitimate upgrade before his stock took a nose dive.
It's very rare that the guy in Spring Training turns out to be The Guy like Solarte. He has some skills, most notably versatility and a good approach to go along with bat-to-ball ability from both sides of the plate, and he capitalized on every opportunity the Yankees gave him early in the season. Solarte was a huge lift when the team had question marks all around the infield and a nice trade chip when something better came along. He was right guy at the right time on more than one occasion in 2014.
According to Matt Eddy, the Yankees have re-signed RHP Diego Moreno and C Francisco Arcia. They both became six-year minor league free agents after the season. Also, LHP Josh Outman elected free agency rather than accept his outright assignment. He was designated for assignment last month when the Yankees claimed Eury Perez off waivers.
AzFL Scottsdale Scorpions (7-4 win over Salt River) Tuesday was Opening Night in the Arizona Fall League
- DH Greg Bird: 3-5, 3 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K — this is a big time hitter's league, he should put up some nice numbers here
- RF Tyler Austin: 2-4, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB
- C Peter O'Brien: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — no, he's no longer a Yankees farmhand, but he played for Salt River tonight so I included him for old time's sake
The Yankees also sent OF Aaron Judge, 3B Dante Bichette Jr., C Kyle Higashioka, RHP Caleb Cotham, RHP Branden Pinder, and RHP Alex Smith to the AzFL, though they didn't play tonight. Bichette replaced 3B Eric Jagielo, who had his face broken by a pitch in Instructional League a week ago.

U.S. Marshal Adam Louge can't get past the death of his fiancee 10 years earlier. Forced into counseling, his doctor suggests he start dating. Since Adam would rather face armed gunmen than date again, he formulates a plan to "date" fellow marshal Chastity Caldwell because she's safe. Too bad Chastity didn't get the memo. She's been in love with Adam forever. Now if she can just get him to realize that. To Catch a Husband, by Laura Marie Altom (3), is an entertaining read. Adam is so clueless that the reader won't be able to help but fall in love with him and root for Chastity.

Globalization the flow of people, goods, services, capital, and technology across international borders is significantly impacting the chemistry and chemical engineering professions. Chemical companies are seeking new ideas, a trained workforce, and new market opportunities regardless of geographic location. During an October 2003 workshop, leaders in chemistry and chemical engineering from industry, academia, government, and private funding organizations explored the implications of an increasingly global research environment for the chemistry and chemical engineering workforce. The workshop presentations described deficiencies in the current educational system and the need to create and sustain a globally aware workforce in the near future. The goal of the workshop was to inform the Chemical Sciences Roundtable, which provides a science-oriented, apolitical forum for leaders in the chemical sciences to discuss chemically related issues affecting government, industry, and universities.

Knitting Lace Heere Be Dragone Pattern by CrazyLaceLady
This is absolutely incredibly well done.
(via knits-and-knacks)
Agent P!! Perry the Platypus scarf that I made for my Boyfriends mam for her birthday. It took 6 months to make because I kept having to put it to one side while doing uni work.
She loved it!
I have a massive double chin in the last photo :s I'm sure its not like that in real life!
My kids are huge Phineas and Ferb fans and would absolutely love a scarf like this.
(via knits-and-knacks)
100% in agreement, one of my biggest pet peeves.
(via stitchesandhos)
I want to follow you :)
What a great idea!
(via yarnbombmylife)

That's how I feel most days at work.
(via kitsunehotaru)
I finally finished my first pair of socks and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out but most importantly is that my two year old who I made them for is extremely ecstatic that I made some socks just for her.
For anyone interested in the pattern it is Socks For Mary Janes and I found it on Ravelry.
Russian Join by Ann Yotter
Seamlessly add in new yarn, no double thickness, and no ends to weave in. Perfect for knitting!
This looks like an interesting way to join yarn and one that I am going to have to look more into.
(via unremittingknitting)
The importance of blocking
Very true!!
I have only ever blocked one piece but this definitely shows that blocking makes everything look better and that I should start doing it for everything I finish.
I started some knitting tonight and enjoyed a rum and coke at the same time and then I had another and another and now I'm too drunk to knit without screwing up, so I'm going to watch Supernatural on Netflix instead.
Don't judge me.
Death or Knitting
Giving genuine thought to having this (or something like it) tattooed on my back.
This is awesome! If I seen a shirt with this on it I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

thanks in advance
A better looking bike? So not about fit and feel, just looks??
If you looking at the Cannondale 8 with 105, you might want to check out this bargin
I'm guessing it would be something like this http://www.evanscycles.com/products/wilier/la-triestina-105-2012-road-bi...
yeah fit n feel 1st saw the bike and liked the look of it and got home and cudnt find many reviews, will try 1st but geometry is similar to the one 1 ride now. so cant be to far off!

Bought one last year with campag groupset and miche wheels, slightly different spec to current spec (I think)... However cannot fault it, good ride, money well spent and a Wilier seems to turn heads!
Nice touch Drive!
As long as it fits you then buy the bike that makes you happy.

I apologize for not replying directly to Bugtraq for the sake of proper
threading, but I'm not actually subscribed, so I saw your message on
the archive at http://geek-girl.com/bugtraq/.
Anyhow, you said:
Digital Unix 3.2G does not seem to have either vsnprintf or snprintf.
Neither does 4.0B.
However, qpopper under Digital Unix 3.2G does not seem to show the
vulnerability as discussed on this list even though it contains the
vulnerable code.
I'm glad to hear that. :-) Nevertheless I installed a patched version
of qpop-2.4 last night on our DEC Unix 4.0B POP server.
I used the following hacked vsnprintf() interface, which I wrote myself
after giving up on finding source elsewhere (eg, the NetBSD version,
which is totally incompatible with the definition of (struct FILE) on
DEC Unix).
This version follows the semantics for vsnprintf() as found in
NetBSD/386 1.2:
8<---------------------------- cut here -------------------------->8
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
* vsnprintf() -- hacked interface, because DEC OSF/1 doesn't
* have the real thing...
* Steven Winikoff
* 1998/06/27
* This code is rather feeble-minded; all it does is truncate the
* given string temporarily, call vsprintf() to "print" it, and
* then restore the original string.
* We return whatever we got from vsprintf().
int vsnprintf(char *str, size_t n, const char *fmt, va_list ap)
int result;
char c;
/** do we even need to bother? **/
if (strlen(str) < n) return(vsprintf(str, fmt, ap));
/** okay, truncate, call vsprintf(), and restore: **/
c = str[n-1];
str[n-1] = '\0'; /* take that! :-) */
result = vsprintf(str, fmt, ap); /* do the write thing :-) */
str[n-1] = c; /* all better now :-) */
8<---------------------------- cut here -------------------------->8
I don't know if this is helpful at all, but I figured I should pass it
on anyway just in case.

UNC Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program
The UNC Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program (UNC BCERP) in the Gillings School of Global Public Health works to understand how environmental influences like obesity affect the susceptibility to basal-like breast cancer and to inform premenopausal African-American women of that risk.
Watch videos from UNC BCERP playlist:
Partnering with Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, staff from both Makowski and Troester's labs conducted hands-on activities for the 2014 SciVentures summer enrichment camp. Activities included students building models of cells and their microenvironment to better understand how cells communicate and to understand the role of the extracellular environment in the promotion of disease.
Visit Dr. Makowski's lab to understand how her investigations lead to better understanding of how obesity affects disease risk.
UNC BCERP staff and UNC-Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS) are collaborating to develop, pilot test and disseminate an interactive website that will inform women about basal-like breast cancer risks. Read more.

Wrapping Paper a Bad Burning Idea
To ensure a safe and happy holiday, local emergency personnel and fire departments are asking revelers to take a little extra care.
Chief Mike Tilly with the Kenai Fire Department said there are some simple ways to cut down on risks, starting with holiday wrapping paper…
Chief Tilly: "Your fireplaces are designed typically to burn wood, which burns very slow, in a controlled environment. Wrapping paper is very volatile burns very fast, and it doesn't look like much when you ball it all up and throw it in the fireplace. And then also, if you have an open fireplace, it has a tendency to expand, and could possibly push back out of the fireplace. Airtight fireplaces, obviously you have a nice secure door that you can close things up, but those kind of stoves aren't designed to burn a terrible amount of paper, they're typically designed to burn something that burns slower and in a more controlled environment."
Instead, most wrapping paper can be recycle. Click here for a full list of local transfer stations.

Fan Beats Ref During 1976 Finals
Here's An NBA Fan Doing Exactly What I'd Like To Do
6/12/08 in NBA | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
With all the crappy reffing that's been going on in these NBA Finals, combined with Tim Donaghy saying games are rigged anyway, I know fans aren't pleased.
So, in honor of the fan hatred directed at NBA refs right now, here's an old clip from the 1976 NBA Finals, where a Boston Celtics fan was so pissed at a call he ran out on to the floor and put ref Richie Powers in a headlock. I'd like to do the same thing to a few refs these days myself.
Powers actually got the call right, which was that the game wasn't over after Havelcik hit the shot. However, I'm sure the fact that Phoenix proceeded to to force the game into a third overtime after that didn't help that Boston fan any.
By the way, Boston wound up winning, but the biggest piece of controversy in the game actually came in the first overtime. With the score tied, and three seconds left, the Celtics' Paul Silas wanted a timeout, but the Celtics had none left. That should have been a technical foul, but guess who refused to call it - Richie Powers.
Boston ultimately won the championship, but that never sat well with the Suns. Al Bianchi, then-assistant coach of the Suns, had a ring made which had the words "F*** You, Richie Powers" inscribed.
So see, refs have been horrible forever.
[HT: Fanhouse]

In the summer of 2009 Dr. Perky Beisel, 5 graduate students in history (Chris Elzen, Ryan Gullett, Nathan Copling, John Hannah, and Mike Godfrey), and 2 undergraduate students (Cassandra Bennett and Joyce Preston) spent 336 hours transcribing 56 oral interviews conducted by members of the AAM's Archives and Oral History Program between 1986 and 2009. This project was funded by the Center for Regional Heritage Research and the Department of History. Copies of the transcripts are available to the public in the
East Texas Research Center
. The AAM has the original transcripts and videos. In order to learn more, please visit the

Twice a week I take my daughter to the Floyd County YMCA to go swimming. Lately, we've been keeping tabs of the renovations to the Scribner House Gardens. Dedicated on May 8th and finished a week or so after that, these new gardens are a beautiful addition to the Riverfront and it's ongoing redevelopment plan.
Yesterday, after arming myself with an iced coffee and some free local magazines from Destinations Booksellers, I sent my kid off to swim, then crossed the street to visit the gardens.
The brick path run through fresh landscaping with young plants still growing into the space, then leads down some steps to a fountain surrounded by some rather comfortable benches.
Sitting on the bench listening to the water flowing through the fountain, reading and watching the little kids periodically visit to throw money in, I felt like I was in a tiny oasis tucked away in the city. Facing that fountain, with Downtown New Albany to the left, the Riverfront Ampitheater to my right, and the YMCA at my back, gives the feeling of being in the center of some great nexus of civilization. The eye of the storm, where it's most peaceful, sheltered from the flurry and movement all around.
I think I found my reading spot.
