As Rudnick departs, Partnership's progress is measurable
Western New York has come a long way in the last 20 years, as the private sector assumed a leadership role, private investment and jobs took center stage, Albany recognized the unique needs and clout of upstate communities, and political leaders started viewing the area as a regional community that crosses local and even international borders.
That overview was the core of the farewell speech Tuesday by Andrew J. Rudnick, departing president and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership. The Partnership provided a copy of Rudnick's speech.
Rudnick, 66, said that much of the change in the last two decades came as a result of the Partnership's efforts. He was the first to lead the regional business group created in 1993 from the merger of the Greater Buffalo Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Buffalo Development Foundation.
"I feel we can all take pride in what's been accomplished and how much better this community is today as a result," Rudnick said, as he welcomed the group's new CEO, Dottie Gallagher-Cohen. "Lots and lots of people have contributed to this measurable improvement."
Reflecting on the past, Rudnick noted that the Partnership was formed at a time when Buffalo business leaders, weary of the region's decades-long economic decline, had started taking matters into their own hands and calling for government to be more efficient. Its original mission statement – still unchanged – called on the group to take action to expand private-sector jobs and investments in the region.
He cited the Buffalo Financial Plan commissions of the 1990s that worked to help the city close its $50 million budget deficit and find $180 million in unnecessary public school spending that could be shifted to the classroom. He also listed the Erie County Stabilization Project of 2005, which recommended changes to fix Erie County's budget woes.
And he identified the Framework for Regional Growth that focused on "smart development" and regional land-use planning, and the more recent Buffalo Building ReUse Project to address the 2 million square feet of vacant office space in downtown Buffalo.
All were largely directed by business leaders, through the Partnership. "Twenty or so years ago, people in government thought they were in charge," he said. "Maybe they were, but things have changed immensely since then."
Economic development – centered on creating private-sector jobs and investment rather than public-sector growth – is now the focus, he said, citing the establishment of the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise as a regional economic-development recruitment organization. BNE has worked with 293 companies since 1999, helping attract $3.3 billion in investment and helping create or retain 39,000 jobs.
"Twenty or so years ago, elected officials saw their role to be to create government jobs for their constituents," Rudnick said.
"Now they are being evaluated on if and how they've helped create a climate to stimulate private-sector success."
The rest of the state now recognizes the upstate region as having different conditions and needs than the areas below the Tappan Zee Bridge, where two-thirds of the state's population lives, Rudnick noted.
That follows the joint effort by the Partnership and the Rochester Business Alliance, which formed Unshackle Upstate in 2006 to jointly advocate for changes and actions for upstate employers and taxpayers.
The coalition now consists of more than 80 business and trade groups, whose members employ more than 1.5 million New Yorkers. And, Rudnick said, its efforts have helped yield results through UB 2020, the statewide property tax cap, state pension reforms and the Buffalo Billion investment pledge.
Finally, local leaders no longer think just of their own communities but of the Buffalo Niagara region, he said. Early on, the Partnership even created a new map of the region with the international border in the middle, and then changed its name from Greater Buffalo Partnership.
"Our job has been to build and improve Buffalo Niagara assets and initiatives that are fundamental to the strength of this regional/binational location," he said, citing the expansion and repositioning of Buffalo Niagara International Airport, the efforts to support and stabilize the Bills and Sabres, and regional lobbying efforts in Washington for both Western New York and the larger Great Lakes region.
As for his successor, Gallagher-Cohen – who called herself the "second-most popular and without a doubt the least controversial CEO of the Partnership" – joked that "this job is going to be a lot harder than I thought."
"Listening to that litany of accomplishments, I can understand why you've decided to retire," she said. "I am exhausted just hearing it."

New to car audio? Read this first.
mast240 posted an article in Articles & ReviewsSo i have noticed that many who are new to the world of car audio, ask the same exact questions. So in an attempt to cut down on some of these posts, i figured we should start a thread with the most commonly asked noob questions. feel free to add here guys if you think of anything else.... ALSO: These answers are meant to be a good starting point for understanding some basic principles in car audio. They are in no way the definitive answer to every single application, just more of a generality to help those just starting out. My subwoofer is rated at xxx watts rms & xxx watts peak, how much power should i give it? For the sake of generalities, and a large amount of equipment that is out there, peak rating is pretty much useless. It has become more of a marketing tool to make said equipment seem more appealing to the buyer. There subs out there that can handle alot more than rated RMS power, but if you are just starting out in car audio, RMS rating is a good bench mark to use when thinking of powering your subs. Once you become more knowledgeable, then i would start to consider running more than RMS safe, but, if you are new, i would not recommend exceeding it. What impedance (ohm load) should i run my system at? This is a very subjective topic, with a mariad of opinions. I will say this though... As you lower your impedance, the strain on your electrical system as well as your amp increases. At the same time, your amp's THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) will increase, diminishing sound quality. On the large majority of amps, this will not even be noticeable until you get into very low impedances (1 ohm and below). The amount of THD increase can be as small as >.1%, or can be much greater, just depends on the amp. You also want to take what your amp is rated at into consideration. The large majority of mono block amps are rated at 1 ohm, but on the flipside, if you are running a 2 channel amp bridged, the large majority of those are rated at only 2ohmx1... What this really translates to, is that running your amp at lower than rated impedance can be dangerous. Also, even if your amp is rated at lower ohm loads, if you do not have the proper electrical upgrades to back it up, it can also be dangerous. The biggest point i'm trying to make here, is if you don't have the electrical to back it up, or arent sure, wire to a higher impedance... otherwise the magick blue smoke fairy may come for a visit (AKA you might fry your amp). How do i wire my subs to a different impedance? I could make a long drawn out thread about this, but instead, i will link you to a great wiring wizard, that will show you exactly how to do it. Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams Why is setting my gains properly so important? This is a very Long and Arduous topic. The simplest answer is this... mis matching your gains can lead to a clipped signal, which in turn can lead to problems... from a distorted signal all the way up to frying your VC's (voice coils on your subs). If you really want the nitty gritty of it, check out this great write up... http://www.caraudio.com/forums/amplifiers/206351-why-gain-setting.html I set my gains by ear because blah blah blah/ How do i set my gains properly? I dont care who tells you that you can properly set your gains by ear/that it doesnt matter... He is a dirty, stinking, liar. Truth of the matter is, a clipped signal occurs WAY before the distortion is audible to the human ear. That is why using the proper tools to set your gain is so important. You can not hear any difference, but yet be running an extremely clipped signal to your subs. You will need a few things to porperly set gains will be a DMM (digita mutimeter), a test tone generator or CD, and basic math skills. (an o-scope is preferable to a DMM, but you can still do with just a DMM) You will need to know a few basics of Ohm's law... which defines the relationship between power, current, voltage and resistance. The most basic principle to understand, is that all the variables are relative to each other, meaning if you change on of the variables (power, current, voltage, or resistance), it will directly affect the others. This is the equation to remember: Voltage = sqrt(power x resistance) ----- voltage equals the square root of power times resistance. You will take this formula, and use the specs from your amp for the variables... I.E. if you have an amp that runs 300 watts @ 2 ohms, it will look like this.... V = sqrt(300 x 2) Voltage = 24.49 - this is your magic number. this will be the amount of AC voltage you will look for when setting your gain. *You also want to make sure you use the impedance (ohm load) that you will have it wired to in your equation.* Take your DMM, set it to AC voltage, then place the test leads on the output terminals. Take your tone generator or cd, and set it to 50 hz. *The vast majority of HU's (head units) out there will clip their signal when at very high outputs, the majority of which will start at around 3/4 full volume* Set all you setting on your HU to 0/flat, and turn it up to 3/4 of full volume. Starting with your gain turned all the way down, start turning it clockwise, until you reach the voltage you found in the formentioned equation.... this is where you will set your gain at... no higher. The rest of your setting are like this... the LPF is the upper limit of frequency you want your subs to hit, the subsonic is the lower... and bass boost shouldn't be used in most situations. For your mid/high amp, you will do the same, only you will use a 1khz tone instead *This is a very general and simple way to safely set your gains... There are better/more in depth methods, but this is the simplest* Here is a good chart for those who are not math inclined What is the big 3, how do i do it, and why is it so important? The big 3 is an essential step when upgrading your electrical. Main reason being, when auto manufacturers designed your electrical system, it was never designed for high amperage duties (such as large amplifiers), so the stock wiring in between your alternator and battery is garunteed to be very small, and insufficent for high power applications. This can lead to a "choke point" in your electrical system. You can have all the 1/0 runs from your battery to your amp you want, but unless you do your big 3, it really wont do any good. Your electrical system is only as strong as it's weakest point, which is usually right at your alternator. To accomplish the Big 3, you will want to use a minimum of 4 Ga wire (although 1/0 much better)... and you will want to match the size wire you use to the rest of your install (if you run 1/0 from your battery to amp, but only use 4ga on your big 3, your still creating a choke point). You can either straight up replace stock wiring, or just add to it.. and on the majority of newer model cars, you'll want to add to it, and leave the stock (due to their wiring harnesses being interconnected). The wires your going to replace/add are from alternator to battery, battery to chassis, and battery to engine block. Alternators for the large part are self grounding, which is why you wont need to run a ground. For a much more in depth write up on Big 3, check this out... http://www.caraudio.com/forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/152355-official-caraudio-com-big-3-thread.html What size capacitor should i use to keep up with my amp? The simple answer is none. A capacitor is completely useless in 99% of installs. The smaller farad capacitors have no benifit for voltage drop, and can actually cause a choke point in your electrical, causing voltage drop when not installed properly. They are useful in certain, more advanced installs... but that has nothing to do with voltage drop for which they have been marketed over the last 5-10 years. If you are really experiencing alot of voltage drop, refer to the last question about big 3, and consider upgrading your alternator, battery, or even adding an extra "helper" battery in the rear. If you want more info on capacitors, and how they are useless in the majority of installs, here's a really good read.... http://www.nanopulser.com.sg/capacitor.htm If i fuse in between batteries/alt and batteries, what should the fuse be rated at? You will want to fuse according to the wire, not the batteries... This also varies for each brand of wire... so there is no real "magic number" for all 1/0 ga, or 4 ga... you will want to check with the manufacturer of the wire for what amperage it is rated at, and fuse it at that rating. Another, much more in depth writed up... http://www.caraudio.com/forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/398527-dual-battery-wiring-tutorial-why.html MORE IN THREADS BELOW, RAN OUT OF ROOM

Taunton parents say they realize how high the cost of child care is in the state of Massachusetts, but that doesn't change the need.
A report by the Child Care Aware of America for 2013 showed that Massachusetts has some of the highest child care costs in the country.
The average cost of center-based care for a 4-year-old in the state is $12,176, the report said, making Massachusetts the sixth least affordable state in that category. That means a family of three living at the poverty line in Massachusetts would have to pay more than 86 percent of their income for full-time, center-based infant care.
Taunton parents in various situations, including single mothers, families with low incomes and parents facing high costs because of other needs, said that while the price can sometimes be high, there are some excellent day care options out there allowing them to work full-time and make ends meet. The high costs have caused some to leave their work to stay home and provide care, but many interviewed by the Taunton Gazette said they were able to make child care work by finding affordable options nearby, including one mother who started her own child care service in her house and another who found success with a public child care program.
Below are what some Taunton mothers had to say about concerns over child care in Massachusetts, and how they are able to get child care, juggle other financial needs and continue to bring home income.
Rachel Fratalia
Family situation: Single mom, with an 11-year-old son
Context: Fratalia, a nurse, found out about an extended-day public school-based child care program that the city of Taunton offers. The students go to school early, at 7 a.m., and can be picked up as late as 5:30 p.m. During the summer, the program is centralized at Martin Middle School, she said the program is just $15 a day during the summer, which she considers very reasonable, and $9 a day for the extended-day after-school care.
Quotes: "The program is very reasonable. I don't have to worry about transportation or anything like that and it's affordable. They've been wonderful. The staff is amazing. They are very good with the kids. And they take field trips in the summer."
Jennifer Harris
Family situation: Married, with one 8-year-old daughter who is on the autism spectrum
Context: Once she had her daughter, Harris said she couldn't afford day care on the salary she received working as a full-time customer service employee at a local company. To make ends meet, take care of her child and still generate income, she started her own day care out of her Winthrop Street home, called the Little Train Family Child Care.
Quotes: "I've been running this day care since my daughter was 1. We take care of 10 kids at our day care. When I had my daughter, I couldn't afford child care. Originally, I didn't even know family child care existed out of homes. I thought it was all centers and there was no way that was fitting into my income. I said, 'You know what? I can do this.' I pursued it and got it up and running within six months. Initially, when I was looking at day care for my daughter, I was looking at $250 a week. That was my entire income. But being in a home like mine, I can charge parents at a much lower rate."
Christina McMahon
Family situation: Married, with three children: a 22-month-old, a 10-year-old and a 21-year-old in college
Context: McMahon, an accounts payable manager at a local company, said it's frustrating that there are no federal and state tax credits available for her, as she and her husband pay for the college education of an older child along with day care for her 22-month-old daughter. McMahon said she brings her daughter to a center-based day care in Raynham, which she highly rates as a nurturing, trustworthy establishment. It costs her approximately $1,000 a month. But McMahon said her family is sandwiched in between high tuition costs for her 21-year-old daughter and the much needed child care services for the 22-month-old, adding that she pays more for day care than the college education.
Quotes: "There is no relief from the costs," McMahon said. "My oldest doesn't qualify for financial assistance for college. It's almost comical. A child care payment every month is a mortgage payment. Yet the day care is inexpensive compared to some of the others I've seen when I first looked. I've met other women who have children … who want to work but can't because can't afford the cost of day care. I'd like to see state and federal government help me and the staff at the day care because these women are incredible. I'm very happy with the quality. It's a relief to know that these teachers love my child as much as I do, or almost as much. They come in with hugs and kisses. It gives me a great peace of mind going to work every day."
Tanya Muldoon
Family situation: Single mom, with a 7-year-old son
Context: Muldoon, who works as a housekeeper at a Providence hospital, said that she has found a relatively inexpensive day care provider who works out of a home in Taunton. Her son goes to school but needs care after school on Tuesdays and Fridays and during the summer. Before her son started going to public school, he went to day care full-time, costing $3,000 a year, which she considers a low price tag, she said.
Quotes: "I actually got really lucky with my day care. I'm extremely happy with my day care now. I don't want to lose our spot there. The day care provider does more with the kids than most places so it's great. As far as affordability, I'm lucky that I have a good job. ... Not many employers will pay that much. I'm lucky in that aspect. But even for me it's tough. I use my family as well, as far as helping, they will give me a hand."

McCormick Theological Seminary
Commencement Address – May 14, 2011
"The Vision Thing"
Cynthia M. Campbell, President
Sixteen years ago last month, I stood in the pulpit of Rockefeller Chapel to deliver my inaugural address. In it, I said that McCormick's charge was to prepare leaders for a church we could not yet envision. Apparently, it struck a chord because we ended up using variations on that theme for several years in our attempts to shape and interpret McCormick's mission. But I have decided, now that I will be leaving in a few weeks, to let you in on a secret. I came up with this phrase about "a church we cannot yet envision" because, frankly, I couldn't think of anything else to say!
The moment I arrived at McCormick, actually even before, people began asking me: "What is your vision for McCormick? What is your vision for theological education? What is your vision for the future of the church?" Obviously, I knew these were the questions. And, not surprisingly, I had a lot of thoughts about both theological education and the church. But three and a half months into my tenure at McCormick, I was still trying to learn people's names and figure out one-way streets in Chicago. All in all, what I didn't know seemed much clearer to me than what I did! I knew there was a lot I could not envision!
You who graduate today will at some point in the not-too-distant future be in the same situation. As our new pastor, what is your vision for our church? As our new associate for youth, how are you going to build a program that will quadruple the size of our youth ministry? As a newly-minted Doctor, surely you now have the vision for how to revitalize and transform our congregation … isn't that what the seminary PR materials say you're supposed to have learned?!?
Lots of people want to help you with this! A little prowling around the internet will lead you to a variety of websites on "vision casting" – the latest buzz word in both business and church circles. The materials suggest that, first, the leader develops an idea about the future of the business or church, and then persuades employees or congregation members to get on board. You have to make sure that your employees "really believe" in your vision, says one website. Then, your job is to attract, train and retain employees (or congregation members) who will make your vision a reality.
I must confess that a great deal of this "vision casting" stuff seems more than a little narcissistic – it is all about "the leader" and "his vision." We know, of course, that all sorts of people can have visions, even very compelling ones. Adolf Hitler had a vision of Europe from which all Jewish people had been eliminated. Osama bin Laden had a vision of destroying what he perceived to be Western and/or American domination. Visions must be tested. So, this afternoon, I want to reflect for a few moments on some familiar passages of scripture and let them guide us as we all think about the "vision thing" and our role as leaders who help communities discover and follow God's vision.
First of all, in order to receive a vision, you have to be paying attention. From what I can tell, visions in the Bible are always gifts. They are given to the prophet or leader by God. But the recipient of the vision needs to be paying attention, ready to receive the vision when and as it comes. The Revelation to John is a case in point. Chapter 21 opens with stirring words: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth." But in fact, this is but another in a long series of visions. They begin in Chapter 4, after the letters to the seven churches. John writes, "After this I looked, and there in the heaven a door stood open!" Chapter after chapter in this mysterious book, John says: "and then I saw …; then I looked …; after this I saw …." John is given an amazing series of visions, because he was paying attention – eyes open, mind on alert, heart ready, spirit focused.
Paying attention is not easy in our world. Most of us, most of the time, have our attention divided in at least more than one direction. We sit in meetings and check email on our Blackberrys. We go to class and surf the web during the lecture. We drive and do all sorts of things: eat, talk on the phone, put on make-up, text, and talk back to talk-radio. And we are insanely proud of our abilities to do these things!
But receiving a vision, especially a vision from God, requires that we pay attention. Discerning what God is up to in the world and being ready to receive God's call to action demands that we step back from the busyness and the schedules and the demands of the moment and reflect. When I was a pastor, I took one day a month and went to a friend's home out in the country. I walked the fields; I took naps; I worked through the lectionary for the coming weeks. I always came away with the basics of worship planning but even more important were those moments when an insight would just open up inside my mind, and I could see because I was paying attention to something other than the tyranny of the moment.
Second, even when you are paying attention, sometimes (probably more often than not) you don't get the vision right the first time. Next to the story about Jesus calling the Canaanite woman a "dog" (as in, "you don't take the children's food and throw it to the dogs"), this healing story is the most embarrassing in the gospels. People bring a blind man to Jesus. By now, his healing power is legendary. But this time, Jesus needs a do-over! First, he puts saliva on the man's eyes, lays hands on him and then asks: "Can you see anything?" Images of the guy in the cell phone commercial spring to mind: "Can you hear me now??"
"I can see people but they look like trees, walking," the man replies. Almost but not quite. A second time, Jesus lays his hands on the man and this time, success! His vision is restored. This is really quite remarkable! In this story, vision for the blind man and success for Jesus do not come instantaneously. They come in stages, and the key both for the blind man and for Jesus was not giving up. Jesus was being willing to try again.
Catching the vision (which seems to me more theologically more appropriate than "casting" it) means paying attention to what God is up to in the world. But it also means being willing to try again. As many people have said, leadership is more of an art than a science. And in art, there are a great many rough drafts on the way to the final product and hours of practice sessions on the way to the performance. At least once in his life, Jesus didn't get it right the first time! That should give all the rest of us great comfort as we try to lead congregations or organizations into the future. Catching a vision takes work. It takes persistence. It often requires a willingness to start over and try again.
Finally, the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Habakkuk is: don't give up. "For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and it does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay." Ted Hiebert, who wrote the fine commentary on Habakkuk for the New Interpreter's Bible, places Habakkuk after the Babylonian defeat of the Egyptian-Assyrian coalition in 604 BCE and before the final destruction of Jerusalem in 586. The book as it stands is largely the prophet's complaint, first about rampant corruption in Judean society and then about God's use of the ruthless and evil Babylonians to accomplish God's purposes of judgment? How can a God of justice tolerate injustice and then use unjust means to accomplish God's purposes?
Habakkuk marches up to the ramparts of the city of Jerusalem; he positions himself at the watch tower and waits for the vision. In fact, he demands a vision. The answer Habakkuk sees is that God's justice will eventually prevail. In the meantime, the "righteous live by their faithfulness" (v. 3). That is, life comes by remaining faithful to the principles of justice that give shape and form to the universe even when that justice is not visible in the immediate context.
Hiebert writes: "The righteous, the sincerely religious, those who long and work for justice and righteousness receive the strength to go on, not because the world itself is just or because it rewards those who work for justice, but because these persons possess a larger vision of the way things should be. They possess the vision, as did Habakkuk, of God's just reign. There will always be a discrepancy between such a vision and the real world. But the truly righteous place greater trust … in the reliability of that vision than in the brute facts of existence."[i]
Over and over again, God has shown us the vision. The important thing is not to give up when it is not fully realized. The challenge is to trust that it will surely come. The challenge is to believe, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., so memorably said, that "the arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice."
Sixteen years later, as you (and hopefully I) go out to lead and serve in a variety of ministries, I still do not have a clear vision of what the church is going to become in the years ahead. Change has been the norm for years. But some things are clearer to me. More people grow up outside faith communities. Thus there are more opportunities for us to tell the story of how our lives have been shaped and transformed by God's love for all people in the person of Jesus Christ. The continuing financial crisis leads some politicians to adopt policies that will do great harm to the poor and most vulnerable among us. Therefore we are called to show what love of neighbor means both for the church's ministry and for public policy. Violence is too often the response used to settle problems in our homes and neighborhoods and on the global scene. Thus we are called to love our enemies and work with all people towards justice, freedom and peace.
Sixteen years later, it now seems to me that it is less important for us (individually and as a seminary) to envision the church of the future. It is more important for us to catch God's vision for our lives and for the future of the human and natural world God loves so much. So pay attention. Don't worry if you don't get the vision right the first time. Most of all, don't give up because God has a vision for the appointed time, and even if it tarries, it will surely come.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

Phils, Braves lift the lid on 2013 season at Turner Field
The Washington Nationals are the odds on favorites to win the National League East. Who finishes behind them, though, is still up for debate.
Two teams who hope to be in that position square off on Monday when the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves begin their 2013 seasons at Turner Field.
Atlanta will be beginning a new era on Monday, as the Braves start the season without third baseman Chipper Jones, who retired following last season. Atlanta, though, replaced him with the Upton brothers and hopes are again high for the Braves.
After a 2011 September collapse kept the Braves out of the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons, the franchise did little to alter its roster following Fredi Gonzalez's first season as manager. Instead, it leaned heavily on a deep rotation and a returning offense led by Jones, who announced before the season began that 2012 would be his last.
The patience paid off as Atlanta won five more games than it did in 2011, with the 94 victories marking the most for the club since posting 96 in '04. That was good enough to get the Braves into the brand new one-game National League Wild Card round, but it was there that their quest to send Jones out a champion ended at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals.
That 6-3 loss put the final stamp on Jones' career and began an offseason that saw major change for the Braves.
Opting not to re-sign center fielder Michael Bourn, the Braves instead handed out a five-year, $75.25 million to former Tampa Bay Ray B.J. Upton before swinging a seven-player deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks to bring his younger brother Justin into the mix of a new-look outfield.
Chris Johnson also came over from the Diamondbacks in that deal, one that cost the Braves the likes of super fielder Martin Prado and pitcher Randall Delgado in addition to prospects, and he'll platoon with 25-year-old Juan Francisco to replace Jones at third.
Atlanta also cleared the way for some of its young pitching to crack the majors by parting ways with Jair Jurrjens and dealing Tommy Hanson to the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim for reliever Jordan Walden.
While the Braves do have a relatively young pitching staff, it will be their veteran on the hill Monday, as righty Tim Hudson makes his sixth Opening Day start. He was 16-7 last season with a 3.62 ERA.
"Why not give it to the veteran guy?" Gonzalez said.
Opposing Hudson will be lefty Cole Hamels, who draws his first Opening Day start on Monday. The former World Series MVP had his best year as a pro in 2012, going 17-6 with a 3.05 ERA. Hamels also closed the year strong, winning his final six starts.
But even with Hamels' heroics the Phillies found themselves on the outside looking in come playoff time.
Things went south in a hurry for the aging Phillies, who saw the likes of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Roy Halladay all slowed by injuries last season, contributing to the club being 14 games under .500 by mid-July.
That led to the Phils becoming sellers before and after the trade deadline, dealing outfielders Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence as well as starter Joe Blanton to the NL West in separate trades. And though the club rebounded to finish at .500, the writing appeared to be on the wall that the window was closing.
The Phillies went into the offseason with a handful of needs, but general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. was able to fill all of his holes without spending a ton of money on the likes of a Josh Hamilton, Michael Bourn, B.J. Upton or Nick Swisher (though they did make a run at Upton).
Amaro got creative by trading away young starters Vance Worley and Trevor May to the Minnesota Twins for 24-year-old center fielder Ben Revere. And with free agency bare of any major upgrades at third base, Amaro sent a pair of relievers to the Texas Rangers for veteran Michael Young to replace Placido Polanco at the hot corner.
The rest of the holes were filled through free agency, with reliever Mike Adams signed to fix the team's eighth-inning troubles and outfielder Delmon Young brought in to fill the void in right field. Former Washington Nationals lefty John Lannan is expected to complete a talented rotation that still features Hamels, Halladay and Cliff Lee.
On top of that, the Phillies are hoping that Howard and Utley can remain healthy all season, Domonic Brown can finally full fill his potential and closer Jonathan Papelbon can duplicate his 2012 success.
Atlanta went 12-6 against the Phillies in 2012.

Last week I attended my eighth PASS Summit in nine years, and every year it is a fantastic event! I was fortunate my first year to have a contact (Bill Graziano (blog | Twitter) from SQLTeam) that I was expecting to meet, and who got me started on a good track of making new contacts. Each year I have made a few more, and renewed friendships from years past. Many of the attendees agree that the pure networking opportunities are one of the best benefits of attending the Summit. And there's a lot of great technical stuff, too, some of the things that stick out for me this year include…
Overall, another GREAT event. I can't wait to get the DVDs so I can sit in on a bunch of other sessions that I couldn't get to because I was in one of the ones above. And I can hardly wait until next year!

Bolts trim Devils in SO, Cooper gets first Tampa win
Tampa, FL – Teddy Purcell and Victor Hedman scored in the shootout, while Mathieu Garon stopped both New Jersey attempts, as Tampa Bay scored a comeback 5-4 victory over the Devils on Friday.
Steven Stamkos added two goals and assisted on the game-tying tally from Alex Killorn for the Lightning, who received a goal from Nate Thompson and 21 saves from Garon to give Jon Cooper a win in his head-coaching debut.
"It's just a wave of emotions," Cooper said on earning his first win. "It's all like it happened in slow motion."
Andrei Loktionov, Andy Greene, Tom Kostopoulos and Ryan Carter scored for the Devils, who have lost five of their last seven outings.
Martin Brodeur stopped 21 shots in defeat.
Purcell opened the game's final segment by scoring with a wrister, then Garon forced a Travis Zajac chance wide at the right post. Hedman whipped one past Brodeur, and Patrik Elias didn't get his shot off after Garon used a poke check to knock the puck away.
Loktionov registered the game's first goal with 5:50 played in the second period, and Kostopoulos followed with his first for New Jersey 51 seconds later on a penalty shot -- a chance that resulted from Hedman dragging him down on a breakaway.
Stamkos and Thompson tallied 2:26 apart to tie the game, but Greene's power- play marker 1:32 later put the Devils back on top.
Carter's short-handed goal at 2:39 of the third gave New Jersey a 4-2 advantage, then Stamkos netted his 25th of the year at 7:11 to make it a one- goal game once more.
Garon was pulled for an extra skater in the final minute and the move paid off with 16 seconds remaining as Killorn one-timed a Stamkos feed from the right circle to force overtime.
The Devils survived a holding call to defenseman Matt D'Agostini early in the extra session.
"It's disappointing when you're 15 seconds away from getting two points," Devils head coach Peter DeBoer said. "We'll just put our one point in the bank and keep moving forward."
Game Notes
Tampa Bay evened its 2013 shootout slate to 1-1, while New Jersey fell to 2-6 ...Stamkos picked up his fourth multi-goal effort of the season and scored at least three points for the fifth time in this truncated schedule ... Tampa defenseman Andrej Sustr, a former Nebraska-Omaha product, made his NHL debut ... Carter's marker was the Devils' ninth short-handed goal of the year, best in the league ... Kostopoulos notched his first free-shot goal on his third career penalty shot.

At the age of 52, I had rhubarb last night for the first time in my life - and I used your idea for roasting it. We had it over low-sugar ice cream. What a delight! My husband says he remembers eating mushy, stringy rhubarb as a child - his mother would cook it in a pot and serve it with nothing else. So for years he's resisted my trying it. Now we are sooo glad we did. It was wonderful. Next up is another new-to-me vegetable, bok choy.
Kevin ~ So easy, SO yum.
Sally ~ Oh I wish I could make this for you!
Dave ~ Thanks!
Cyndi ~ Good for you and your husband for being adventurous eaters! I'm so glad you loved the rhubarb, its simplicity stuns me.

DANVILLE, Ill.
(AP) -- A judge in east-central Illinois has
sentenced a 79-year-old Markham
man to eight years in prison in the fatal shooting of his former business
Prosecutors say Antone Akroush shot his cousin Imad Farah
Shteiwi in Danville
after arguing about money. Shteiwi died of multiple gunshot wounds. Akroush
says he fired in self-defense.
Akroush originally was charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say
they opted for second-degree murder in a plea agreement because a witness left
the country and was unavailable to testify.
Judge Nancy Fahey's sentence Thursday was less than the 15-year maximum.
Vermilion County prosecutors say Akroush won't be
in prison long because he only has to serve 50 percent of his sentence and he's
already been in custody for almost four years since his 2009 arrest.

CONCORD, N.H. — The New Hampshire Supreme Court says a police officer who stopped a driver for a defective headlight acted unlawfully when he asked to see the driver's tongue and then used its green hue as the basis for a marijuana arrest.
The court reversed the drug convictions of Hillman Blesdell-Moore, saying the Enfield officer who stopped him had no basis to ask to see his tongue and continue questioning him about whether a drug-sniffing dog might be alerted to his pickup truck.
In a unanimous decision Tuesday, the justices said Officer Roy Holland's request to see the driver's tongue transformed the routine traffic stop in November 2011 into an unconstitutional search for evidence of drug possession.
The court says all drug evidence stemming from the stop should have been suppressed at trial.

There's also a magnet gun—the first magnet you fire attaches to an object, and the second pulls the first toward it. I'm inclined to complain that it gets old quickly, and that the developers completely missed a golden opportunity to design puzzles around it. But if you play Armageddon as a summer blockbuster, the fact that you can use this gun to throw the game's plentiful explosive barrels around is more than enough to make you fall in love with it.
In the second half of the game, things open up a bit. The plot takes you above ground briefly, down into Mars's molten core, and then back to the surface for a tense finale. The more diverse set of environments fits the game well, and there are some terrific vehicle sections. In addition to a mech and a huge crawling spider, you get to pilot a small ship Descent-style, complete with six degrees of freedom. The controls here really shine on a console controller; they're basically just standard FPS controls, with face buttons used to ascend and descend. (Given that Halo: Reach included a section clearly inspired by Freespace, perhaps space shooters from the '90s will live on within the FPS genre?)
The one thing that's missing from the summer blockbuster shooter formula is competitive multiplayer. Given how fun deathmatch could be with destructible environments, that's a shame. Instead, we're limited to two variations on Horde mode. In one, you simply survive as wave after wave of enemies attack, and in the other, you have to defend a point on the map against the enemies.
An additional single-player mode, Ruin, is something like Burnout's Crash mode: you just do as much damage as you can, and if you score highly enough, you unlock a new map. Like the multiplayer modes, this is fun, but hardly indispensable. And in a somewhat annoying move, THQ made Ruin mode inaccessible without a code, so it won't be included for renters and used game buyers. (The download is too small to contain much of anything, so I suspect the code merely unlocks material that's already on your game disc.)
If you were one of the people who bought Red Faction: Guerrilla and loved it, this game will disappoint you. Two of Guerrilla's most impressive features (the story and the open world) are gone, and a third (the sledgehammer) isn't as fun this time around. But if you look at the game this way, you're missing the point. Armageddon is about taking the tried-and-true formula of a cinematic third-person shooter, adding destructible environments and a few gimmicks, and watching the money roll in. If you want to mow down some high-definition aliens and can't wait until Gears of War 3 comes out, this is the game for you.

My Party: Julian
Julian and his friends had a blast at his history-filled party. And we're guessing there was a lot less clean up for mom Debra. She tells us all about the fun day: My son celebrated his birthday at Historic Fort York in Toronto. All I have to say is that this party theme is a surefire hit with 7 year old boys. I usually do parties in our backyard. It's the first time I have ventured off site for a party. I can definitely see the advantages!
The boys arrived at Fort York and were assigned a Historic Guide named Eric for the duration of the party. He proceeded to give the boys a tour of the Fort. Highlights included "Drill Training", learning to march, a mock "charge!" on the hills, and free run of the beautiful grounds.
After, we refueled with cold drinks, snacks and cupcakes all they wanted to do was head outside to explore the Fort and play.
The favor bags were fun to put together. The boys got a replica pop gun, war of 1812 era soldier toy, and a "candy ration". I packaged them in a cotton muslin bag to which I added the image of a Union Jack.
The invitations were antique reproductions of a postcard with the party details printed separately and toed together with bakers twine.
The decor was minimal to go with the overall esthetic of the era. Simple mason jars with flags lined the table. Red replica toy soldiers stood at attention at each place setting.
I highly recommend Fort York as a birthday party destination. It was the perfect mix of fun and education in a stunning location. My son declared it the best birthday party ever!
Thanks Debra, you can't argue with that!

Contemplating moving my main laptop from ubuntu to openbsd...
Has anyone tried doing so. dropping all os's for openbsd? What do you miss and what do you appriciate bing all open sourced?
Hi jjennings089 and welcome !
So far I haven't missed anything vital since I migrated from Win/Mac to OpenBSD .. it's king as firewall .. but KING as well as a workstation/desktop .. Going opensource means being freer, but going BSD means being cooler, more secure .. more enlightened :-)
OpenBSD is a wonderful Operating system .. just go ahead , try it, use it, and don't tell anyone it's Free, Functional and Secure !!
I've done the same, but not because I prefer OpenBSD but rather because every other OS out there irritates me in some way, shape, or form. OpenBSD is the closest to "my ideal" that I've found.
I'm probably not the best person to ask about what I "miss" in other OS's...heh.
Linux/Network-Security Engineer by Profession. OpenBSD user by choice.
OpenBSD is my preferred environment for general purpose workstation applications. It is not my only workstation OS. I use both Linux and Windows for specific applications that are not available to me with OpenBSD.
I have done that with FreeBSD, but that is kinda different story as You asked for OpenBSD. Its also easier to do so on FreeBSD as there is VirtualBox available (and I use many systems within these virtual machines), on OpenBSD You are left with QEMU option only.
religions, worst damnation of mankind
"If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened." Linus Torvalds
Linux is not UNIX! Face it! It is not an insult. It is fact: GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not UNIX".
vermaden's: links resources deviantart spreadbsd
Single-hearted OpenBSD
It works. My main desktop at home runs nothing else at all, never has. Laptop was able to run it, but OpenBSD couldn't run the webcam, so I reverted it. It's still handy to have a Windows box for flash from time to time, although the get_flash_videos script has given OpenBSD amazing progress.
Frankly, if flash played nicer and the laptop camera would work, I'd never run anything else at home. I love the cleanliness.
In my experience, the specifics of your hardware and your need for proprietary formats has a huge impact on choosing a windows alternative. There has been significant OpenBSD-current progress in openjdk/icedtea-web but it is too early to say that java apps will run as well in OpenBSD as FreeBSD or Linux. You can search the forum for discussions on Flash videos and the alternatives.
I've actually had more difficulty getting java apps working on Linux than OpenBSD. YMMV.
Linux/Network-Security Engineer by Profession. OpenBSD user by choice.
The icedtea-web binary has just undergone several recent updates (1.2 -> 1.3 -> 1.3.1).
I was getting a fair number of firefox core dumps and am awaiting the latest patch from my 2nd tier snapshot server.
I had good luck with the older jre/jdk that I built from ports but it was such a PITA (and security hole) that I gave it a pass. If openjdk/icedtea-web is more stable I hope to figure out how to temporarily enable in firefox when needed.
Anyone know if there is something like flashblock plugin?
To answer my own question
Last edited by shep; 15th November 2012 at 07:11 PM. Reason: Added NoScript link
I'm all in. I installed 5.1 configured my desktop and promptly upgraded to 5.2, you're responsible for upgrading your desktop, so when I updated to 5.2 from disk, it re-installed the core and my desktop popped up just fine, then I had to upgrade my applications via pkg_add. pkg_delete is cool too and includes the option of bringing your install back to core, by default it doesn't delete your configuration files, but the option is there if you want.
I use the BlackBox window manager, I'm not sure about Gnome or KDE. Blackbox has great documentation.
With blackbox, firefox, gnash, and mplayer I can download and listen to music from my Amazon account if I download my songs one at a time. The gnash package crashes a bit when visiting Youtube, but NoScript and FlashBlock both work.
I like Blackbox and OpenBSD together because with Blackbox you absolutely have to read the documentation and I think that mindset compliments OpenBSD quite well.
Welcome, vanGrimoire!
I switched from linux to OpenBSD since version 4.7 and never looked back. I am running 5.2 i386 (release) on my Thinkpad R61. Everything works, even suspend. Simply awesome. If you willing give up few things like flash then OpenBSD is a great choice.
I like it a lot
I've been running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 on my desktop and laptop but didn't feel like I was utilizing them both to the full extent and installed OpenBSD 5.2 on my PC last night. I had it installed briefly a few months ago but the difference in the OpenBSD ports system way of doing things put me off and I didn't leave it installed long enough to really get the hang of it before I switched back to FreeBSD.
I feel much more at home with it this time around. I ran into a couple problems along the way (not enough space alloted to /usr for the ports I wanted to compile) but am compiling the last of my programs now and am just about ready to boot into Fluxbox for the first time.
I probably won't be converting my laptop over any time soon, but am pretty happy with the way things have gone so far. I'm comfortable enough with FreeBSD to get things done and am going to stick with it till I get more familiar with the OpenBSD way of doing things, though I might have to ask a question or two along the way.
Why using ports???
"pkg_add" works fine. In most cases packages works just nice. I did not came across
yet that I need use ports on OpenBSD.
If I remember correctly packages are preferred method to install in OpenBSD.
Additionally, it should be pointed out that all the ports system does it build *packages* and install the packages. Unless you have some strange requirement (build options, etc...) that aren't default, or whatever, you really should use packages. In fact, there's an option you can put in /etc/mk.conf to have ports fetch the appropriate packages and only build packages it can't find in your $PKG_PATH. I forget the option off the top of my head (something along the lines of FETCH_PACKAGES?).

# make package BULK=Yes
The packages you build from ports and the packages you install with pkg_add(1) are functionally the same. Building ports only consumes time and resources, and you also have additional packages built and installed that are build dependencies but not run dependencies.
The portupgrade tool you are missing from FreeBSD does have an equivalent replacement. After upgrading the OS, the OpenBSD admin merely upgrades all installed packages with pkg_add(1)'s -u option.
If you insist on building everything from ports, you may find OpenBSD's Distributed Port Builder dpb(1) very helpful, even if you are not building thousands of ports on a server farm, but only dozens on a single system. The dpb(1) binary is in /usr/ports/infrastructure/bin. While the tool by default builds the entire tree, you can create a pathlist file containing just the ports you wish to have built.
I probably will use mostly packages with OpenBSD. Keep in mind I only installed it about 48 hours ago, here's a screenshot to show the progress I've made so far, so it's been a learning experience for me. Not to mention a test to see how things went and if I even wanted to devote one of my FreeBSD machines to OpenBSD, which I do. I'll probably reinstall it in a couple days and do a few things differently.

Looking nice. I am also using Fluxbox. I did not know about Xfe (file manager)..I downloaded it
and I like it along with Rox-Filer (file manager).
Also on the left side of the screen is that a Conky? If it is how you set it up to looks like that?
Ahh, that brings back memories. I used flux/conky for years, but within the past 3-4 years I switched to cwm/tmux full time.
Looks good, Trihexagonal!
