U.S. Stocks Advance on Earnings Reports, Pending Home-Sale Data
U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gaining a fifth day, as home sales and Qualcomm Inc.'s forecast beat projections, offsetting Japan's credit downgrade and higher-than-estimated jobless claims.
Qualcomm rallied 5.9 percent as the biggest maker of mobile-phone chips benefited from more sales of devices that browse the Internet. An index of car companies in the S&P 500 advanced 2 percent after online researcher Edmunds.com forecast a 17.3 percent jump in the industry's new sales in January. Netflix Inc. surged 15 percent as profit topped projections. Microsoft Corp. increased 0.3 percent after its quarterly results were released before exchanges closed.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 percent to 1,299.54 at 4 p.m. in New York. The index has gained 1.5 percent over its five-day advance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 4.39 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 11,989.83.
"We're in repair mode," said James Dunigan, chief investment officer at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia, which oversees $105 billion. "As confidence improves, home sales will rise and that will be an important piece of the puzzle in this recovery. We still need to see progress in hiring. The U.S., Europe and Japan are not out of the deleveraging woods yet. Still, earnings have been good, valuations are reasonable. It might not be the best entry point, but it's certainly not time to reduce your equity allocation."
The Dow average rose above 12,000 for the first time since June 2008 yesterday after the Federal Reserve maintained stimulus measures and new-home sales topped projections. Of the 171 companies in the index that have posted quarterly results since Jan. 10, 129 beat the average analyst earnings estimate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
U.S. stocks rose after the National Association of Realtors said the number of Americans signing contracts to buy previously owned homes rose in December for a third month, showing the industry that triggered the recession was stabilizing heading into 2011. The index of pending home resales climbed 2 percent, more than forecast, after a revised 3.1 percent gain the prior month. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey called for a 1 percent increase.
"We continue to be cautiously positive on stocks for the next couple of quarters," said Thomas Nyheim, a Greenville, Delaware-based money manager for Christiana Trust, which oversees $6.8 billion. "We're focused on the fact that earnings continue to exceed forecasts, so we should have a strong market for the next six months without a correction."
Qualcomm advanced 5.9 percent to $54.90. The biggest maker of mobile-phone chips reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of 82 cents a share, beating the 72-cent average estimate of analysts. Sales in the period ending in March will be $3.45 billion to $3.75 billion. That compares with $3.14 billion, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
An index of car companies rose 2 percent, the biggest gain among 24 industries in the S&P 500. January new car sales are expected to be about 816,000 units, a 17.3 percent advance from a year ago, according to Santa Monica, California-based Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information. Ford Motor Co. added 2.3 percent to $18.79. General Motors Co. increased 2.1 percent to $38.67.
Netflix surged 15 percent to $210.87. The DVD-rental and video-streaming company posted fourth-quarter earnings of 87 cents a share, exceeding the 71-cent average estimate of analysts. Netflix was raised to "buy" from "underperform" at Bank of America Corp.
Microsoft gained 0.3 percent to $28.87. The world's largest software maker said second-quarter profit topped analysts' predictions as corporate customers bought more Office and server programs and consumers purchased Xbox Kinect motion sensors. Net income was 77 cents a share and sales rose to $20 billion. Analysts on average projected profit of 68 cents and sales of $19.1 billion, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Earlier today, equity futures declined as Labor Department figures showed that more Americans than forecast filed first-time claims for unemployment insurance payments last week. Applications for jobless benefits increased by 51,000 to 454,000 in the week ended Jan. 22. Economists forecast 405,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
Stock futures also fell earlier as S&P cut Japan because the nation lacks a "coherent strategy" to reduce the world's biggest debt burden. Persistent deflation and political gridlock are undermining efforts to cut Japan's 943 trillion yen ($11 trillion) debt, S&P said. The country is now rated AA-, the fourth-highest level and the same grade as China.
AT&T Inc. lost 2.1 percent to $28.13. The second-largest U.S. wireless carrier reported fourth-quarter sales of $31.4 billion. Analysts predicted $31.5 billion.
Procter & Gamble Co. declined 2.9 percent to $64.18. Third-quarter profit excluding some items will rise to 95 cents to $1 a share, P&G said. That compares with the 99-cent average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Prices for some commodities have climbed as much 20 percent year over year, reducing sales last quarter, Chief Financial Officer Jon Moeller said today.
Bearish bets against S&P 500 companies rose for the first time since September as short sellers increased speculation stocks may decline after the benchmark gauge soared to the highest level since August 2008. The proportion of S&P 500 shares available for trading --or float -- that was sold short on Jan. 14 rose to 3.99 percent, up from 3.93 percent two weeks before, according to data compiled by U.S. exchanges and Bloomberg. It was the first increase since Sept. 15 as traders boosted bets against materials and consumer goods companies.
While the number of shares sold short on S&P 500 companies decreased to 6.89 billion from 6.9 billion, the percentage of float that investors were betting against increased because shares in the S&P 500 available for trading fell.
The decline in that figure "can indicate complacency in the market," said Michael Purves, chief market strategist at BGC Partners LP in New York. "It may be a good indicator of a directional change in the market."

First and most important thing to remember when working on designing a SQL Server cluster is it is entirely dependent upon the underlying base architecture that you choose to implement for the operating system. Here, it really pays to do your homework as the newer versions of Windows Server have some AMAZING features that will change the way we have traditionally thought about clustering.
In my opinion, Windows Server 2008 changes the story that can be told surrounding clustering and disaster recovery. For the first time, without the headache (licensing cost, training, additional complexities) of third party products you can create geographically separated clusters. Well, whoop de do you say? We could do this with previous versions. The big gotcha was, all nodes of the cluster had to reside on the same subnet. Just about every time I see geographically separated offices or data-centers, they each have their own sub-netting scheme.
Now pair this with Hyper-V clustering.... whoa Nelly. Game Changer! Geographically separated Hyper-V clusters. Talk about simplicity of administration, and powerful disaster recovery. Oh yea, don't forget that we're also adding live migration (the ability to move a Hyper-V guest machine from one node to another without taking the guest offline) in Windows Server 2008 R2 (coming soon!). My co-worker Dave Ziembicki's blog (http://blogs.technet.com/davidzi/) has a cool video of an actual live migration on an early release of R2 http://blogs.technet.com/davidzi/archive/2008/09/14/demos-of-live-migration-and-hyper-v-server.aspx.
Some additional cool changes in Windows Server 2008 is the ability to use IPSEC between not only clients and the clusters, but between the cluster nodes. This is a major step forward for cluster security. My other personal favorite is not requiring NetBIOS and WINS anymore... clusters can support IPv6 and DNS rather than the ancient WINS subsystem. My days will suddenly be more productive as I won't have to troubleshoot nasty WINS problems anymore!
Anyway, I think you understand that SQL server's clustering is significantly dependent on the architecture that is chosen for the host operating system. I hope this came across as passionate about the changes Windows Server 2008 brings to the table and not like a bad Saturday night infomercial, these changes are really amazing.
Onto what I really intended to write about today... SQL Clustering.
Here's the bulleted list:
To me personally, this is the biggest shift everyone will have to get used to who has created a SQL Server cluster in previous versions. In previous versions of SQL Server, when the cluster was being created, as long as all nodes of the cluster were visible to the primary node at the time of installation, the cluster was installed on all nodes. Going forward, each node in the cluster will need to be attended to to join it into the cluster. Some may take this as a negative, but really, it was a by-product of the increased security posture taken in Windows Server 2008.
To conclude, SQL Server clustering is a great option for ensuring your data is highly available. With the changes made in Windows Server 2008, I think the disaster recovery story got significantly better. Remember, before setting up any HA or DR solution, look at the problem you are trying to solve to ensure you are providing the right technological solution.

Jacques Martin hasn't managed to survive as the longest tenured coach (with the same team) in the National Hockey League today without having a very good radar screen.
So when a question -- subtle but dangerous -- came out of the pack regarding his goaltending, Martin was quick to move it out of harm's way.
"Patrick (goaltender Patrick Lalime) struggled a bit earlier in the season, but that hasn't been the case for a long time now," Martin said about whether or not goaltending might be a team weakness.
"All the great ones struggle from time to time. Look at Patrick Roy; the years he won Stanley Cups weren't always the years he put up his best numbers."
Martin has a lot of answers like that.
Ask him about the bad shake his team got from the schedule makers (13 of their last 17 games starting with Wednesday's 4-3 loss in Buffalo are on the road), and he talks about balance and how every team has to play 41 at home and 41 on the road.
Press him about the disadvantage road teams have regarding the last line change, and he'll tell you about how he rolls four lines so that matching isn't a problem home or away.
Mention how his team appears to have shed its image as a defensive-minded club, and he's quick to point out that the great teams score and defend with equal ability.
Put another way, Martin has a pat and positive answer for every tough question. Distractions, inventions and excuses are not things by which he is going to abide.
And why should he? His team might not defend the President's Cup, but it could. The Senators may not win the goal-scoring crown, but they have a chance. They might not finish with the game's best power-play numbers, but they are on track to do so.
Not bad for a team with a defensive-minded reputation that could, for the record, also finish with the league's lowest goals against total.
Simply put, the Senators are good -- very good -- and while they still might have a reputation as a team that simply checks opponents to death, the truth is the club now plays a powerful yet finely tuned offensive game. It's just difficult to get anyone to really admit it.
"They're a different team than the one I joined last year," said Rob Ray, who was a late-season pick up for the Senators last season and rejoined the team out of retirement this time around.
"They seem to be a more confident bunch, and they seem to have grown from that loss last time."
Are they more offensive-minded than the one you remember?
"Well, yes and no," Ray replied. "They do have guys who can take it and go, but you have to play the other end. I don't think Jacques will let anyone get too far away from that."
One gets a sense it's part of Ottawa's growing process. The Senators are still burdened by their seventh-game defeat at the hands of the New Jersey Devils, in Ottawa, in the Eastern Conference final last spring.
They don't talk much about it, but it can never be completely erased. Had they won that game, it's almost a given that the Senators would have gone on to win the Cup. New Jersey did, and you could argue that the Sens played defense every bit as well as the Devils last season and had a much better offense.
The goal this season appears to be nothing less than the Cup. It's a quest that likely will be the only way the Senators can satisfy both their critics and their own little smidgen of doubt that comes when you don't fully meet expectations whether they are your own or someone else's.
The mood among the Senators and the people who direct them suggests they have one goal -- to be playing their absolute best come playoff time.
"A team has to sometimes suffer disappointments in order to grow and get better," says general manager John Muckler, who watched a young and talented group of Edmonton Oiler players evolve into an elite team in the 1980s. "I truly believe that team had to suffer some setbacks before it learned the price that needed to be paid to become a champion."
Muckler likely hasn't finished tinkering with his team. He already picked up Peter Bondra from the Washington Capitals to add to what was already a highly productive offense and a fearsome power play, but there are rumors about that he's still searching for a bit more grit, a defensive-minded forward, and perhaps some reserve strength on defense. Still, even if he does nothing before the March 9 trade deadline, the essence of the team is set -- and it's a good one.
The Senators may give up a few more goals than in the past, but those are more than offset by their ability to score them, almost at will.
Only the playoffs can determine whether or not that will be enough.

Miyamoto: Nintendo working on new hardware
Shigeru Miyamoto has yet again confirmed that Nintendo is working on new hardware.
Speaking at the Annual Japan Media Arts Festival on Saturday (via Andriasang), Miyamoto admitted the company was working on something new.
His words come following a rumoured reveal for new Nintendo hardware at GDC in a month's time.
Official confirmation of new, in-the-works hardware is nothing new: company execs regularly assure fresh meat is on the way.
Speculation surrounding new Nintendo consoles is picking up. Wii HD is an evergreen story, and was joined recently by talk of a new DS with motion controls, which was apparently suggested by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata last month in a Japanese newspaper article, only to be flatly denied by the exec last week.
At the same event, Miyamoto confirmed he was working on a new title involving WiiMotionPlus, but isn't the new Zelda in development for Wii.

Murder-for-hire schemes are pretty rare in this area, and the one Panama City Police investigators derailed Wednesday especially is---that's because it was plotted by an elderly man.
74 year old Marcellous Dudley was arrested Wednesday after allegedly trying to hire a casual acquaintance he met several months ago to carry out the crime of killing his wife. When Dudley's friend turned him in it prompted investigators to launch an undercover investigation.
Panama City Police Investigators held a press conference Wednesday afternoon and released a few details behind the operation. According to the arrest affidavit, the couple had apparently been going through a divorce which may have played some kind of role in the motive. The report states Dudley paid out $500 to one person and $25 to another as down payment for the murder with the promise of up to $500 more after the job was done. One of those payments went to an undercover investigator. Authorities say they have recorded video and audio of Dudley admitting to the scheme but say thankfully it never went that far.
"This could have easily been a homicide as well as a murder for hire investigation so I want to stress to the public how important it is to report these kinds of activities to us" said Acting Deputy Chief Scott Ervin of the Panama City Police Department.
Dudley has been booked in the Bay County Jail and has been charged with solicitation for murder.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - The Fraternal Order of Police said it will fight the possible parole of a man convicted of killing a Columbus police officer almost 25 years ago.
The Georgia State Board of Paroles is scheduled to hear Lonnie Gene Bott's bid for early release from prison.
Botts, according to court records, murdered Officer Thomas "Spanky" Bowen on March 11, 1984.
Botts was sentenced to life in prison. The FOP said Botts should serve everyday of his sentence.
The FOP has organized a letter campaign to urge the panel to turn down Bott's request. A similar effort in 2005 was credited with keeping Botts in prison.

The two sides' respective set-piece weapons were enough to edge 40 minutes of the game but you need to be in control of a Test match for longer than that to come away with a victory in a tournament as competitive as the Six Nations.
Ireland were on the whole the better team but they are sure to receive some criticism for letting a 10-point lead at half-time slide. However, when you look at the experience and talent in that France squad you cannot be too down on Jamie Heaslip's side. That is not a substantial lead and France at home is not a banker win after a few poor games.
But it is disappointing nonetheless given the way Ireland came rushing out of the traps. They clearly did their homework on the French, and kept an eye on the weather forecasts, to come up with a first-half game plan based around a kick-chase tactic and a much-improved line-out.
Rory Best and Donnacha Ryan were combining to brilliant effect in the line-out, as were Sean O'Brien and Peter O'Mahony, to provide a platform for a dynamic and dangerous unit to take the driving maul to France. It proved to be such an area of strength for the Irish and they made regular inroads into the French defence.
This was highlighted vividly for Heaslip's try, which showcased not only their excellent driving game but also other good points of their first-half performance.
There was a smart tactical grubber from Brian O'Driscoll, a clean line-out from Best and Ryan, and an energetic and powerful drive from the rest of the forwards to provide Heaslip with a simple touchdown. You beat the big French pack by moving them around, and Ireland certainly got them moving then.
Ireland's decision makers at half-back, Paddy Jackson and Conor Murray, played a tactical blinder in the opening 40 minutes, pinning France back with their kicking game and bringing the line-out into the game as much as possible.
If they weren't forcing line-outs they were winning ball in the air, with Rob Kearney to the fore with his kick-chase.
But after the break France got into the game more and more for a number of reasons. Firstly, the effort from the Irish forwards in the first half was so intense that they were physically spent for much of the second period. As Ireland huffed and puffed France introduced some outstanding physical specimens off the bench in the forwards to increase the toll on the Irish pack.
Secondly, they changed their tactics, doing all they could to avoid bringing the Irish line-out back into the game. As a result, France saw far more of the ball, providing their outstanding runners like Louis Picamoles a chance to run at the Irish defence.
And thirdly, by refereeing quirks more than outright dominance, the French pack began to win more and more of the penalties at the scrum, handing Morgan Parra kicks at goal and, on other occasions, relieving them of Irish pressure.
Ireland were not helped by the departure of Ryan in the second half. When he left the field Ireland lost the best proponent of their strongest suit.

Research Institution:
AbstractEmerging military, space and commercial communications systems, are placing a high premium on low-cost, small size, weight and power consumption (SwaP) RF components, while at the same time increasing demands for higher functionality. This trend necessitates the utilization of low SWaP phased array antennas that operate well at that frequency band. The future-generation of wafer-scale antenna arrays will require 3D multi-layer modules for improved performance, reduced cost and minimized packaging complexity through 3D interconnects. This arrangement, however, will reduce the space for the active and passive components of the array including the power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, matching networks, and interconnects. As a result, the heat flux per unit area (W/cm2) will be increased and conventional air cooling may be insufficient to effectively cool the antenna array since major heat generators (e.g. PAs) may be enclosed by wafers and will not have access to cold air from the outside environment. In order to address these issues, EMAG Technologies proposes to develop a 30 GHz wafer-scale array with an integrated microscale cooling system. Moreover, since it is very important that the micro-cooling system does not interact with the RF fields of the antenna array, electrothermal co-design of the system will be attempted.

Hi all
I was helped at mailchimp live chat, but they also gave me this forum for some further tips. I think i'm early there, but have a question (something simple i'm sure) i can't quite work out
There are two parts:
1 - I want to centre the 'Join Team Turndog' text. I tried doing this with the <centre> tags, but it made the text small, revert to something other than courier, and non bold. So, how can i centre it whilst keeping the current size and font?
2 - I would like to have the email strip (where you place the email) go across the entire box, so it sits flush. I think this will make it look more neat, which is important for someone with a bit of OCD :)
Any help from you would be amazing

#7983 Jul 6, 2012
like u are borderline retards, nothing you say is true in fact it is all backwards, the GOP is the reason for all those problems, Bush never allowed such trials to go on because they do not want evidence in courts that would incriminate that admin, why Obama does not go through with this is because the Republicans don't want them and they will block bills from passing through in congress if they do not get their way, they just want you to be spooked so you can vote for them.
The only smart Republicans today are the ones that says nothing instead of parroting what they hear on fox news.

Talk:Adobe Flash Player
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|Adobe Flash Player received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
Review and assessment[edit]
I've been expanding this article over the past few months and would like to know what's missing. I added 2 more project templates, Software and Free software (since Flash Player is free, though not open source). I've rated it "Mid" class under Software, since Flash Player was the first example on the Mid-class of the project's importance scale. I've also cleared the issues with the Criticism section and expanded the same section, and I've tried to be as unbaised as possible. Thanks for any help. -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 15:30, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- The criticism section avoids the history of criticism. Some of the points criticised have been addressed in more recent versions, but this section mentions a criticism and then gives the answer to that criticism as if it had always been there.
- Its use to get around users clearing cookies.
This controversy was about 2009: eg http://www.wired.com/business/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
"More than half of the internet's top websites use a little known capability of Adobe's Flash plug-in to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mention the so-called Flash cookies in their privacy policies, UC Berkeley researchers reported Monday." It goes on to say how Flash is used to create 'zombie cookies' that reappear whenever users clear their cookies. None of this is even mentioned in this page its like history has been whitewashed.
User's were unaware of the settings manager website, and even those that were may not have realised that with each update all the settings were cleared.
- "Flash Player 10.1 and upward honor the privacy mode settings" is that a roundabout way of saying versions 1 to 10 ignored privacy settings?
- "Flash Player will only allow content originating from exactly the same website domain to access data saved in local storage." This is either wrong or very misleading, because when a user visits different websites information is shared between these websites using Flash. They just do it through a 3rd party. The 3rd party will be using a single domain but this is not the website domain the user is visiting, it is only the domain of the 3rd party, often an advertiser's plug in. If the average user looks at the domains that are listed by Flash in the Settings Manager they would not recognise the majority of the websites listed.
- "According to Steve Jobs, running Flash video on the iPad would cut its battery life from 10 hours to a measly 1.5"
Apple says "Flash delivers half the battery life of its H.264" No mention of how Flash uses up the battery. Users have created special programs to handle Flash, and other plugins, because they are such a drain on batteries. eg ClickToFlash, being able to start up Flash only when the user wants to see a video. http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ (Which is another criticism: users have no control over a Flash movie starting up when they visit a website, Adobe do not allow users to even start/stop a movie, users have had to create these controls themselves.)
QuentinUK (talk) 03:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- A few times a day my computer locks up because Shockwave has stopped running (This happens even though I rarely do any moving stuff like Youtube). If this is common and documentable, it should be included. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 12:59, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Only content created on the Adobe Flash platform?[edit]
In the first sentence: "software for viewing multimedia, executing rich Internet applications, and streaming video and audio, content created on the Adobe Flash platform." What does this mean? Can it only be used to view, execute and stream content created on the Adobe Flash platform? Or can it view and execute content created on other platforms, but stream only content created on the Adobe Flash platform? Or can it also be used for streaming video and audio content created on other platforms? Nurg (talk) 04:19, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Is there a source which has no COI in providing the penetration numbers of Flash Player? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:49, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Release date of latest updates[edit]
One thing I like about this article is that it usually has the date of the latest update of Flash Player. There was an update release today (Feb 5 2015) but when I looked at the article, the article hadn't been updated to match. I did find the release notes on Adobe's site. Oaklandguy (talk) 03:13, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Someone did it! Thank you! Oaklandguy (talk) 03:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
There appears to be a problem with the Adobe Flash Player page on Wikipedia, namely that on the right hand side of the page, in the "Stable release" section, we currently have:
Windows, OS X: {{LStp://adobe.com/software/flash/about Newest Adobe Flash Player versions] Release date for older versions Direct download links for all supported versions and OS
followed by a /noinclude end tag.
I don't appear to be able to edit this part of the page in order to fix the problem. If someone else could do this I would be very grateful! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gepree (talk • contribs) 09:13, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
- Done. You can thank Denniss for his vigilance. —Codename Lisa (talk) 17:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
The article's issue reappeared when I checked today (Apr 22, 2016) - there was a release on April 21. Maybe this issue is related to the reason for the release, which relates to Macs. Oaklandguy (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Player vs Authoring environment[edit]
The release history lists a lot of improvements made in the authoring environment, but many of these features aren't actually reflected in the player. Color tweening for example is handled only in the authoring environment, AFAIK, and dumps the tweened results to the SWF file. You can verify by importing an SWF file into an FLA.
External links modified[edit]
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Adobe Flash Player. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add
{{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add

- Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.flashrealtime.com/flash-game-library-engine-list

I remember my favourite English teacher talking about the word 'cicatrice' from My Brother Jack, and how she had looked it up in the dictionary to discover it was the most perfect word in the context it was used.
I tried to spot the swelling on the photos but wasn't quite sure, so, tell me: is "la piqûre d'abeille" on the same cheek as "la cicatrice"?
I must go back, I have this cicatrice, scarifice to make.
I saw a man struggle with a pick axe to remove the carefully built stone edging with its squared, level surfaces; I heard the rocks thrown in the back of a truck and hauled away; and now I can see the flattened round expanse of dirt that remains like a smoothed over cicatrice.
The Jewish operator, after snipping off the foreskin, rips up the prepuce with his sharp thumb-nails so that the external cutis does not retract far from the internal; and the wound, when healed, shows a narrow ring of cicatrice.
Sur ma radio on peut voir cette grosse cicatrice sur mon poumon c rigolo!
After her hearing improved he still continued to examine the cicatrice from time to time, pretending to note the speed with which it was disappearing.
Miss Travers, it appeared, had been burnt low down on her neck when a child: the cicatrice could still be seen, though it was gradually disappearing.

Hasegawa agrees to $6.3 million contract, no arbitration offer to Cameron
SEATTLE -- After an All-Star effort last season, Shiggy is returning to the Seattle Mariners. Cammie is not.
The Mariners agreed to a $6.3 million, two-year contract with reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa on Sunday night, locking up last season's star performer from the bullpen.
The Mariners, though, faced tough choices about their other free agents. They decided not to offer salary arbitration to center fielder Mike Cameron, who won his second Gold Glove last season, and lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes.
The move essentially releases both players.
General manager Bill Bavasi said Randy Winn, who played in left field last season, will move to center. Raul Ibanez, a free agent who joined the Mariners last month, will play in left.
Catcher Pat Borders was Seattle's only free agent who was offered arbitration.
"We offered him arbitration because the club has a special relationship with this guy," Bavasi said.
The Mariners did not offer arbitration to their other free agents: reliever Armando Benitez, outfielder John Mabry, infielder Mark McLemore and shortstop Rey Sanchez.
Cameron, who turns 31 next month, joined Seattle in the February 2000 trade that sent Ken Griffey Jr. to Cincinnati. He won his second Gold Glove last season, committing only four errors in 492 chances for a .992 fielding percentage.
"I don't feel great about it," Bavasi said. "This guy filled some pretty big shoes. From the outside looking in, he made people forget Junior pretty quick with the year he had. It's not without an appreciation we did this."
Cameron hit .256 in four seasons with the Mariners, with the highlight coming May 2, 2002, when he hit four homers against the Chicago White Sox.
He also set a franchise single-season record with 176 strikeouts in 2002. Cameron hit .253 last season with 18 home runs and 76 RBIss, and Bavasi made it clear the Mariners want more offense.
"We want more offense by spreading the dollars around better than we could if we signed Michael," Bavasi said. "He understands that. He's just a little out of reach for us if we want to build up a better offense."
Rhodes, 34, has been with the Mariners four seasons, going 26-15 with a 3.07 ERA and eight saves. He was the team's only left-handed reliever last season, posting a 3.82 ERA before the All-Star break and a 4.96 after.
"We're not in the position to offer arbitration to those guys and we just have to live with that," Bavasi said.
The Mariners made it clear they're glad to have Hasegawa back.
He converted 16 of 17 save opportunities after taking over the closer's role June 21 when Kazuhiro Sasaki got hurt. Hasegawa also made his first All-Star appearance last season.
Manager Bob Melvin said Sasaki will close again next season, and Hasegawa's versatility will be used wherever it's needed.
"Whatever role he's in, he's proved to be the most versatile reliever in the American League," Melvin said.
Hasegawa's 1.48 ERA was a franchise season record for a reliever. Hasegawa's ERA was below 1.00 until Sept. 5, when he allowed an earned run at Baltimore that boosted his ERA from 0.98 to 1.09.
Last season was the first time Hasegawa worked primarily as a closer in the majors. After six seasons in the Japanese leagues, he spent five seasons with the Anaheim Angels, then flourished after joining the Mariners in 2002.
Bavasi said Hasegawa indicated he wanted to return to Seattle, but the reliever seriously considered other offers.
"He was prepared to take off, more than people think," Bavasi said. "I got to know him a little bit. He's an adventurer. I think he was prepared to go back East. I don't think he wanted to."
Opponents scored only 11 times in Hasegawa's 63 appearances last summer, and he stranded 21 of 26 inherited runners. He had a 12-game scoreless streak in 13 innings from April 23 to May 29.
The 35-year-old right-hander gets a $500,000 signing bonus and salaries of $2.5 million next season and $2,975,000 in 2005. Seattle has a $3.1 million option for 2006 that could become guaranteed under certain conditions. There is a $325,000 buyout.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was moved from a Houston hospital to a nearby rehabilitation center Wednesday after her condition was upgraded from serious to good, another milestone in her recovery.
The Arizona Democrat had been in the neuro-intensive care unit at Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center since arriving in Houston from Tucson on Friday. She will continue her long-term recovery at TIRR Memorial Hermann rehabilitation center.
Giffords was shot in the head at close range at a constituent event Jan. 8 in Tucson. The shooting rampage killed six and injured 12 others.
"Since Gabby arrived last Friday, we have noticed daily improvement in her neurological condition," Dong Kim, chief neurosurgeon at the hospital, said at a news conference in Houston. "In terms of recovering from brain injuries, this is lightning speed."
Giffords had been at the intensive care unit while doctors monitored the draining of cerebral spinal fluid that had built up in her brain, a common occurrence after severe head injuries. On Sunday, Kim said, the fluid was largely gone, and on Monday he removed the drain.
Although she already had started rehabilitation exercises in the intensive care unit, Giffords will continue to build up to a more rigorous schedule, said Gerard Francisco, TIRR's chief medical officer.
"We're working on conditioning, strengthening her range of motion," Francisco said.
She's also working with a speech therapist, although she is not yet able to talk. Giffords still has a tracheal tube in her throat, which is making it difficult to determine if she can speak, but doctors said that could be removed in the next few weeks.
Imoigele Aisiku, director of neurocritical care, said Giffords is "awake as much as you and I are. . . . She's cooperative and interactive and aware."

This is a really cute outfit for the money. Walmart has great promotions.
I purchased 2 in different colors. One was in excellent conditions but the other was already bare in a spot on the jacket. I would have kept the one in good condition but the size was completely off. I have 2 girls and what doesn't fit one it fits the other. The size 7/8 was to long in length for my 7 year old and for the other one the jacket was to small. My daughters are thin so I am used to adjusting their clothes but this required to much adjusting and not worth the quality.
Red outfit purchased for my daughter to wear for Christmas events. Size was fine, so washed then had her wear it with an ivory top underneath. After a few hours, she complained of the red all over her top. I had her change into other clothes. The outfit had shed red material and pilled already! Wish I had kept the tags and packaging so I could return this poorly made item.
Beautiful vibrant colors but I think I would not get a full season out of it because the quality is not good. Not the outfit for girls who run & play. The hoodie size seems to be 2 sizes too small while the pants are true to their size.
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. Super cute! Only it runs on the small side. She wears a 6x /7. I bought the 7/8. I'm glad I did not get the 6x. It would have been too small. It fits her just right.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my niece. I'm sure she will love it.
Was a gift for my granddaughter. Love the color and the price!!
Love it!
