The Future at Short
With this season becoming a lost cause now is the time to look to the future. The one spot that has been looked at since 2005 is shortstop. Ever since the Nomar trade everyone has wondered when we will get another quality shortstop. After Nomar the likes of Orlando Cabrera, Edgar Renteria, Julio Lugo, Alex Cora, Alex Gonzalez, Marco Scutaro, Jed Lowrie, Yamaico Navarro, Mike Aviles, Jose Igelsias, Pedro Ciriaco, Nick Punto, and others whose names aren't coming to mind at the moment. Now you look at that list and are you impressed? Probably not. The Red Sox have been unable to develop or acquire a quality shortstop after they traded away the greatest shortstop in team history. No answers have been present over the past eight years, but the answer may come soon. Here's a look at some guys who could be the next great Red Sox shortstop.
Mike Aviles: Aviles has been with the Red Sox since last season's trade deadline and proven to be a fairly mediocre shortstop. So why is considered part the future? The answer is simple, he's still young and has a lot to learn. He has decent power and if he becomes more disciplined hitter he could raise his OBP to one that is considered adequate for a shortstop. Now I don't truly believe that Aviles is the answer, but you never know.
Pedro Ciriaco: He's a long shot at best, but like I said with Aviles you never know. Ciriaco has been a bright spot in this tough season, but I don't see him as an everyday player. He's fast, he can hit, he plays solid defense but I don't think he can pull it all together and become one of the top shortstops in the league. His biggest issue is his pitch recognition. He'll swing at just about anything with one or two strikes on him and teams are starting to notice. If he doesn't get a fastball to hit, odds are he's striking out. Another issue is he treats every play like Usain Bolt is running down the line. Everything he does seems rushed and it hurts him sometimes. With all that said, he could magically reinvent himself into a disciplined player, but I doubt it.
Jose Iglesias: Iglesias was said to be the future of this team. Not just the next shortstop, but the next face of the franchise. He's always just needed to learn to hit and then he'd be ready. The problem is he hasn't learned yet. Could he become a perennial gold glove winner by next year? Yes. But can hit above .200 has an everyday player? I have my doubts. In 18 major league at bats he's recorded just 2 hits. Now some would say he just needs to adapt to big league pitching, but if you look at his minor league numbers you wouldn't be surprised by his major league struggles. In three minor league seasons his posted a slash line of .264/..313/.314 two homers and just thirty-nine extra base hits. That isn't impressive at all. Without being able to put it together at the plate in the minors, what makes anyone think he can do it in the majors. I have no faith in Igelsias and I believe that it is warranted.
Xander Bogaerts: Widely considered to be the Sox top hitting prospect, Bogaerts figures to be an ideal candidate for the shortstop of the future. He's just 19 years old, but he's already tearing the cover off the ball in AA. In his three minor league seasons he has a slash line of .295/.366/.495 with 39 homers and 168 RBI. Those numbers are very good, but they don't truly reflect Bogaerts. He struggled last year, but has bounced back in a huge way this year. He's become a much more disciplined hitter this year and it has shown in his numbers. Despite moving up in the minors his numbers have improved which speaks volumes about his adaptability. The only issue with him being the shortstop of the future is that he's said to have to big of a body for shortstop. He may be better suited to play third base or even left field according to some scouts. Overall I really like Bogaerts, but he might not work out as a shortstop.
Devin Marrero: Marreo was the Sox first round draft choice this year and could become the great shortstop for the Red Sox. He was just drafted so there isn't much to go on as far as numbers go besides his college numbers, which probably don't translate well. Over his three college seasons his numbers steadily got worse which is scary. He also has very little power, he had just 10 homers in college, and his fielding isn't the greatest either. These concern me as well. The good thing is that with the right coaching he could fix theses flaws. Another good thing is that he can hit. He projects as a Dustin Pedroia kind of hitter which isn't bad at all, but he isn't expected quite as good as Pedroia. Pedroia has more power and is an all around better hitter. Marrero is a project, but it could be worthwhile in the end.
Elvis Andrus: This might seem crazy and it probably is, but I like it. Today, the Rangers called up their top prospect Jurickson Profar. He is the future shortstop of the Rangers, but where does that leave their current shortstop, Elvis Andrus. He's an All Star with two more years of team control, but he's being pushed out. He's become expendable, so that's where the Sox come in. He's a dynamic player who brings quality defense, speed, and the ability to get on base. With a career .346 OBP we know he can get on base. With three 30+ stolen base seasons we know he can run. He's the kind of guy this team needs. There guys in the Sox lineup who can drive in runs, so a guy who can get on base is a huge plus. He may have little to no power, but if he can score runs it'll make up for that. If your still not sold on this move, here's something that may get you on board. As I said earlier, he has two years remaining of team control. Now you may think this is irrelevant, but Xander Bogaerts will be ready in 2014. Now after one year of Andrus he can be traded away for around what we gave up for him, or he can be used as an insurance policy for Bogaerts, if he's not quite ready for the big leagues in 2014. Either way I really like the idea of the Sox getting Andrus, and I believe that it's something Ben should seriously look into this offseason if he wants to continue to be bold.
Now none of these may be the answer, but eventually they'll have to be someone who can be a great for the Sox once again.
Relief for the Relievers
It's no secret that the Red Sox bullpen has been bad. They need some type of quick fix to save the pen. As promised here's my list of guys who can help save the bullpen by the end of May.
Huston Street RHP-SDP: I mentioned Street in my article yesterday. He's currently the closer for the San Diego Padres. He doesn't appear to be a trade candidate, because they just traded for him, but I've heard that they only got him to spin him off to another team, when his value got higher, for more. At this point the Sox may be reluctant to add a pricey closer, but at the same time you look at the problems with the bullpen you have to expand what you call too expensive. He can save the pen by bringing his closer experience along with some leadership. With a win-loss record of 30-21 with 179 saves and a career ERA of 3.09 he's proven to be a quality arm over the past 8 years.
Jeff Gray RHP-MIN: Gray isn't a name known by many and perhaps that benefits the Sox. Gray is a reliever for the Twins currently and has played for 5 different teams in his 4 year career. He hasn't had too many chances to prove himself, but he ended last year strong and has started off this where he left off. The Twins don't appear to be contenders this year and the asking price for Gray would likely be low and they might be able to get a quick and painless deal done.
Brandon Leauge RHP-SEA: Last year League established himself as an elite closer. Their Mariners were thrilled with his ability to step into the closer role in their time of need, but as a rebuilding team they entertained the idea of trading him this offseason. Hopefully the market for League is still open. It's highly unlikely they'll deal their closer within the first two months of the season, but everyone has their price. He'd be very valuable to the Sox, because of his AL East experience and his closer experience as well.
John Lannan LHP-WSH(AAA): Lannan's situation in Washington is getting worse and worse and he wants out. Yes, Lannan is a starter, but he gives the Red Sox the option to send Bard back to bullpen which would obviously help the pen. Lannan would add a third lefty to the rotation which isn't a bad thing, but it could lead to some match up problems with right-handed heavy lineups. I like the idea of adding Lannan, but I like the idea of putting Bard back into the pen a lot more.
Juan Carlos Oviedo RHP-MIA: I know the Red Sox don't want another troubled reliever (Bobby Jenks) but Oviedo was pretty special when he was Leo Nunez. The Marlins considered non-tendering him in the winter, so we know they'll be willing to part with him. Oviedo can still close games and a deal could be made.
Roberto Hernandez RHP-CLE: He's a cross between Oviedo and Lannan a troubled starter. Formerly known as Fausto Carmona, Hernandez has had an up and down career. The Sox did make a push for him at the deadline and can rekindle talks at a lower price. He also gives them the option to move Bard back into the pen and he could pitch pretty well in the rotation. If the price is right the Sox can't pass up this oppertunity.
Junichi Tazawa RHP-BOS: I know he's already part of the pen, but he hasn't pitched yet, so he's still got a clean slate. In 2009 he was able to showcase his ability and he had some pretty good stuff. He was fantastic in his short stay. I saw his start against the Yankees and that's when I was sold that he was going to be good. Lately he's been sidelined with injuries, but now he has his chance to establish himself as a big leaguer.
Brandon Duckworth RHP-BOS (AAA): Duckworth is currently a righty pitching for the PawSox. He has some major league experience, and he could end up being a quality reliever in the pen. Key word is could though.
Clayton Mortenson RHP-BOS (AAA): We dealt Marco Scutaro for him so the former starter turned reliever can have an impact on this team. He's not always dominate, so he might not be a quick fix, but he has potential and I can only hope he'll live up to it.
This list isn't really a star-studded list, but that's not the point of it. These are guys who can be acquired (or called up) and have an impact. There are other guys out there, but I complied this list based off of a little research and my own personal knowledge. Feel free to add names or pick apart this list. If you want, send me a tweet @thebestsoxblog (or at least follow me). Personally I like all of these guys, some more than others, and I'd be thrilled in the Sox got any of the 6 not on the team.
Offseason Review
As I watch Jason Varitek retire it inspired me to get back to writing on my blog. Also as the month turns over it seems like a good time to an offseason review, so here it goes:
Subtractions:Jonathan Papelbon, J.D. Drew, Jed Lowrie, Hideki Okajima, Josh Reddick, Marco Scutaro, Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, Kyle Weiland, and Dan Wheeler
The biggest loss was Jonathan Papelbon. He was force at the back of the pen, but when your biggest loss is you've had a good offseason in terms of losing guys. Lowrie and Scutaro hurt the Sox infield depth, but with three guys (Punto, Aviles, Iglesias) who can handle any position in the infield They should be fine. Drew, Reddick, and Wheeler won't hurt at all considering they found better players to replace them. Kyle Weiland might be a huge loss or nothing at all, we have to wait and see. It's sad to see Wakefield and Varitek go, but they weren't going to be key players this so they aren't huge losses at all. All in all this list could be much worse.
Andrew Bailey, Chris Carpenter, Aaron Cook, Mark Melancon, Clayton Mortensen, Ross Ohlendorf, Vincente Padilla, Nick Punto, Cody Ross, Kelly Shoppach, Carlos Silva, and Ryan Sweeney
I like who the Sox added this year. Bailey, Carpenter, Melancon, and maybe Mortensen will provide much needed help help in a weakened pen. Sweeney and Cody Ross will platoon in right. Punto will provide nice infield depth, or maybe even become the starting shortstop. Cook, Ohlendorf, Padilla, and Silva will all compete for a shot at the fourth and fifth spots in the rotation. Shoppach will be an alright backup to Saltalamacchia. Like I said before I like this group. A lot of them are hit or miss guys, but they can end up being key players down the stretch.
Grade: B
I'd give this offseason a B. They didn't lose any real key players, and filled the necessary holes with good enough players, but nothing spectacular. Although none of the additions are sure things they could become huge players or huge failures. All in all nothing great, but nothing bad.
Red Sox Acquire Clayton Mortensen
Today the Red Sox traded Marco Scutaro to the Colorado Rockies for RHP Clayton Mortensen. This is a complete salary dump as the Sox search for more pitching. Mortensen has been a failed prospect as the former first rounder hasn't been effective since he was in AA. I don't see him making the big league roster unless he has an amazing spring.
As for Scutaro's replacement, Nick Punto, Mike Aviles, and Jose Iglesias are the options for the Sox. Don't expect much from offense from the SS position this year unless another move is made.
Scutaro Coming Back, Atch and Wheeler Shown the Door
I know this is late, but it's been tough to write lately. Anyways, yesterday was the deadline for teams to accept or decline player options. The Red Sox had to make three decisions on their options. Marco Scutaro, Scott Atchison, and Dan Wheeler's statuses were up in the air. The Sox made the decision to keep Scutaro and let Atchison and Wheeler go. It was the right move to make because Scutaro was very productive player in his two years here and Wheeler and Atchison had seasons to forget. Hopefully they'll find work somewhere, which they probably will considering they still have something left to offer to a big league club.
Deadline Review
I'm a bit puzzled by the Red Sox moves at the deadline. They acquired Mike Aviles, Erik Bedard, and Josh Fields. Bedard is the only one I see having any impact this year. He'll start until Buchholz is healthy, and then I don't know what the Sox will do with him then. He might keep his spot in the rotation if he pitches better than Tim Wakefield, but if that's not the case there isn't really much room for him on the roster except as a possible second lefty out of the bullpen.
Fields is said to be just a throw in so is impact, if any, will be minimal. He can play both corner outfield positions and both corner infield positions, so he may be of some value to the Sox.
Aviles is the most perplexing move. To give away too players with tremendous upside for a utility infielder seems a bit strange. The only possible move I see for Aviles with the Sox is potentially competing for the starting shortstops job next year with Jed Lowrie and possible Marco Scutaro. Aviles has proven he can be an effective starter at the big league level, so that may of been Theo's thinking as he made that deal.

Celebration, Disney's master-planned, picture-perfect central Florida community, has never reported a homicide in its 14-year existence — until this week.
Residents of the town five miles south of Walt Disney World woke up Tuesday to the sight of yellow crime-scene tape wrapped around a condo near the Christmas-decorated downtown, where Bing Crosby croons from speakers hidden in the foliage. A 58-year-old neighbor who lived alone with his Chihuahua had been slain over the long Thanksgiving weekend, Osceola County sheriff's deputies said.
The community's famous friendliness is what brought investigators to Matteo Giovanditto's body: Neighbors hadn't seen him for days, so they filed a missing person's report, then went into his condo a day later and found him.
Town officials claimed this to be an isolated incident. What would they have said at the beginning of last week, if asked if there were ever to be a murder in their fair town?
UPDATED: More tragedy in Celebration. Craig Foushee committed suicide after barricading himself in his home.
"Just because this is Celebration doesn't mean everyone's perfect," said Eva Medved, who lived across the street from Foushee. "People die, people get divorced, people get in trouble."

College's Cyrus Habib, Jonah Lehrer Named Rhodes Scholars
By Kristin Sterling
Cyrus Habib (right) with U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA)
Columbia College students Cyrus Habib (CC'03) and Jonah Lehrer (CC'03) are among the 32 college students in the United States selected as Rhodes Scholars. The scholarship provides two or three years of study at Oxford University.
Habib, of Bellevue, Wa, is an English major also concentrating in computer science and Middle Eastern and Asian languages and cultures (MEALAC). Last year he was named a Truman Fellow, which is offered to students who display outstanding leadership potential and who plan careers in government or public service.
"I am delighted and surprised to find myself a Rhodes Scholar," says Habib. "I could not have done it without the help of the professors and deans at Columbia with whom it has been my honor to work. Especially, I would like to thank Professors Seidel, Kastan, Robbins and Shapiro in the English department; Professors Dabashi, Saliba, El-Hage, Massad and Nichanian in the MEALAC department; Professor Cannon in the computer science department, and perhaps most importantly, Deans McDermott and Lorch at Columbia College."
A pianist and skier with a black belt in karate, Habib uses his computer skills to foster new opportunities for disabled users. He also works as an advocate for students with disabilities on campus and in the community.
Habib plans to study comparative modern literature at Oxford.
Joining Habib at Oxford next fall will be classmate Jonah Lehrer, a neuroscience major from Los Angeles.
Lehrer's lifelong interest in science and books led him to Columbia and the Kandel Lab, where he is examining the biological process of memory and what happens in the brain on a molecular level when a person remembers or forgets information.
In the lab Lehrer credits Kausik Si, Kandel's post-doctoral research fellow, as a great researcher who has deeply influenced him.
Lehrer asserts that science asks questions so big it has to incorporate other dimensions, such as psychology. As such, he plans to study philosophy, physiology and psychology at Oxford, and hopes to become a science writer.
"Science is too often perceived as cold," he says. "I want to translate science and show how beautiful it can be."
In addition to his work in the lab, Lehrer is a member of Columbia Advocacy, where he volunteers at local church soup kitchens and on other projects to help the homeless. He was the editor of the Columbia Review for two years and enjoys writing poetry.
"It is an incredible honor to be selected a Rhodes Scholar," he says. "It has been a humbling process and an amazing experience."
Habib and Lehrer now join the ranks of Bill Clinton, Bill Bradley, Byron White and Dean Rusk, who are among the nearly 3,000 American recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship. The award was established by the will of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes in 1902.
The two were selected among 981 nominees nationwide. Of the 98 finalists, 7 were from Columbia College. The College also had one finalist for the Canadian Rhodes.

All posts by philfolk
The Explanation!!
Phil Explains everything!!
No more Show of Hands live until September 2014
The significance of this winter tour is beginning to hit home. We really won't be playing together as a Band until september next year. We are involved in some major recording projects and thats going to be a big part of early 2014 but you'll only be able to see us separately until then. This gives Rex and Miranda a big chance to develop their duo and promote the lovely album, Sing a Full Song. Steve will be doing his major village hall project and having more time with his family. I will be playing solo shows, touring with the Phil Beer. Band again and sailing all summer. I will also be able to do the whole of the Feast of Fiddles tour for the first time in years. Looking forward to all these things. The 'comeback' show in September 2014 is the most interesting we've yet encountered. Details will be revealed when its contracted.
In the meantime, check out the remaining SOH gigs. Its the last chance!!
Questions and answers
Bookings going steadily now. The first week in august for the cruise featuring a workshop from Steve Knightley and a workshop from Miranda and Rex is now sold out with a waiting list. We'll see what else is possible.
FAQ no. 1.
'Do I have to be a sailor or musician to do this'?
Answer. No. We've had mostly non sailors and some non musicians on all the trips we've done to date. Once on board, you'll be taught how to sail a big traditional boat. If you don't play or sing, just sit back and enjoy the sessions. This is not heavy education, its totally informal and fun.
FAQ no. 2
Could you let me know what is exactly included in the price e.g. food, refreshments. Also where does the boat sail to? Do we disembark of an evening at different places? How many workshops would there be approximately on a trip.
Answer. All food/refreshments are included except if we are in port and people choose to eat ashore. Where each cruise goes is entirely weather dependent but the range of destinations is anywhere from the Solent down to Falmouth/ even the Scillies or France (Bring Passports!) That could include possible trips to (Weymouth, Brixham, Babbacombe, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Fowey etc. (Anywhere we can get Vessels of this size into) Once in port after a longish sail, everyone votes as to whether they wish to stay a day, say, in Falmouth. (Land of my mothers!) or wherever. We try to do a session/workshop every day, usually in the evening. If we are in port for a whole day, these sessions might be on deck on a sunny day. Have a look at some of the videos. One of the most fun things is a night sail where everyone gets to help run the boat at night.
FAQ no. 3
Can you supply a few more details re food and do we moor up at night.
Answer. Once again, its totally variable. When we set off from Plymouth, we have an attainable destination in mind which is dictated by the weather conditions. ( Wind direction etc.) We could be at sea of a night or moored/anchored somewhere or we could be alongside in any of the places described above.
Obviously, the galley is not a restaurant kitchen but the standard is pretty high under the circumstances. Any special dietary needs need to be communicated well in advance.
FAQ no. 4
Haven't got a passport.
Advise bringing passports on the grounds that we never know when it might be possible to pop across the pond
FAQ no. 5
Do we need wet weather gear?
All waterproofs are supplied on Pegasus and Tectona. By all means bring your own. You will, however, need your sleeping bag.
Little Feat at Rockpalast
OMG how did I miss this one. Thankyou Steve Fairhead. Best wishes to Paul Barrere during his year off. How lucky was I to have played with these guys before Ritchie died.

Doug is a hands-on craftsman who believes that the result of every decorative project should be a work of art which is functional, personal and beautiful. He believes that stained floors should reflect your personality or project goals. Doug has been in the decorative concrete business since 1994 and has a passion for concrete stain. When you choose Re-Crete for your stain project you will be working with Doug and his crew. Re-Crete believes that every floor should be a collaborative effort of our experience and your desires. Together we can create a look that magnifies the natural beauty of cement, the oldest building material in the world.
Acid Stain:
Acid stains are metallic salts in acidic, water-based solution that reacts with the lime in the concrete and becomes a permanent part of the concrete. The stain can be applied to new or existing concrete. Stains come in earth tone colors and can be layered for different effects. Each floor will take on an original and different look.
Concrete dyes are translucent, penetrating color solutions. But unlike stains, they do not react chemically with concrete. Instead, they contain very fine coloring agents that penetrate into the concrete surface. We use dyes to add depth, additional color, and colors that are unavailable with stains. Like stain, they will not hide or mask imperfections in the concrete. The real advantage of using dyes is the ability to go back to a project and recolor areas that been mistreated. We can recolor areas that are worn with excessive traffic, areas that have been scratched, just to name a few.
If scoring is desired, we score the concrete to a depth of about 1/8 of an inch in a pre-approved pattern. We will work with you to design a pattern that will work well in your room. We suggest the pattern be no smaller than 24" by 24" to keep the floor from becoming too busy and if there are existing walls, we will have a minimum 8" border around the room. We can work with you or your architect to create custom patterns at an additional fee. While we use a vacuum system during this process it will still create dust in your room.

'The Full Effect'28 January, 2018Comments (0)
A few years ago a local television station did a feature on a man who was legally blind. He had caught their attention when he joined a search for a neighbor who had been missing for over a week, mounting a 4-wheeler and scouring rugged terrain searching for a body. A young and very attractive reporter sat across a table interviewing the man and she finally asked the question that had been on my mind.
"So, how does a blind man such as yourself search for someone?"
He took a breath and smiled, looking her straight in the eye, and responded, "Well, I'm legally blind with 20/100 vision but I can still see blurry images. Take you for example. If you were sitting over there completely naked, I could tell you were naked. I just wouldn't get the full effect."
I fell out of my chair laughing. That man must surely be kin to me for I could see myself saying something stupid like that. Now, I told you that story to tell you this one:
I had cataract surgery last week. Everyone said it was no big deal. Wham Bamm and it's over. Liars, every damn one of them.
I showed up on time that morning and seated myself in a small crowded waiting room where a dozen or so other victims sat nervously waiting. One by one they disappeared behind a wooden door, escorted by a ravishingly beautiful blonde woman wearing bright blue scrubs. Finally, she appeared at the door and called my name, pointing to a small restroom just a few steps past the wooden door. She instructed me to remove my shirt and don one of those infamous backless hospital gowns. I spent fifteen minutes trying in vain to tie the thing behind my back when a knock came at the door.
"Are we doing alright in there? Do you need me to tie your gown?"
Well, this affair was starting out nicely, I thought as the nurse tied my strings much like a kindergarten teacher might do. She then led me to a staging area, telling me to make myself comfortable in a recliner of sorts, where a barrage of blonde nurses swarmed toward me.
" Do you have any dentures or partials that you need to remove before surgery? Are you wearing any contact lenses?"
Well, I put one in my good eye this morning so I could see to drive up here."
"You drove yourself to surgery? Take the contact out. Did you bring some glasses to wear?"
"No," I shook my head, "the last pair of glasses I bought was back in nineteen-ninety something. I still put them on when I go pee in the middle of the night. Never know when there might be s scorpion lurking about."
I obediently removed the contact and placed it in the container I had remembered to thrust into the pocket of my jeans just in case. And that's when everything went fuzzy. Another blonde nurse approached me, seating herself on a stool beside the recliner. She was close enough that I could tell she was even more attractive than the nurse that had tied my strings. Informing me that she would be putting a variety of crops in my eye, she reached toward me, digging her fake and very sharp fingernail into my eyelid. I let a whimper escape as she flooded my eye with one drop after another.
"Now I am going to place an IV in your hand for the anesthesiologist You might feel a little sting."
I let out another whimper which turned into a yelp as I felt her twirling the needle beneath my skin, trying to hit a vein.
"Nope, we will have to try again," she said as she again jabbed the needle into my hand. I screamed in agony and began kicking my legs as she floundered again with a needle buried deep in my flesh.
"There, all done. You can quit your kicking and screaming now. They will come and get you for surgery shortly." she muttered sarcastically as she rose and sauntered away.
I sat in my recliner and surveyed my surroundings, futile to say the least with my contact in my pocket. There were at least twenty nurses scurrying around, all wearing bright blue scrubs, all 5'2", all one hundred twenty pounds, and all with long blonde hair. I found myself utterly frustrated. Here I sat staring at what might be a collection of some of the most beautiful women on earth, or at least in Texas...and I couldn't see! That's when the blind man on the four-wheeler came to mind. I found myself wondering if more blondes choose the nursing profession or if this particular doctor just prefers blondes. I didn't finish my train of thought. A possibly beautiful blonde nurse suddenly appeared from the operating room, wiggling a finger which I could hardly see, summoning me. My time had come.
The surgery itself was much like waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay. Not that I've ever been to Guantanamo Bay, but there surely must have been some blonde nurse standing over me with a fire hose, flooding my eye constantly as the surgeon removed my cornea with a dull pocketknife. Pain seared through my body as I wondered if maybe the anesthesiologist had called in sick, or if perhaps the blonde nurse had just given up on hitting a vein. Between the waterboarding torture, I could feel the surgeon attaching a new cornea, wondering if it was manmade or if it had been lifted from some unsuspecting dead corpse. I bit my lip as I felt a needle suture the thing onto my eyeball.
"There, all done!"
A green veil was lifted from my face and what might have been my doctor peered down at me with a smile as some blonde nurse unstrapped my head from the gurney.
See, that didn't take long, did it?"
"Neither do executions," I muttered under my breath as the blonde nurse taped a clear plastic patch over my eye with duct tape. Not sure about the duct tape since I couldn't SEE!
Fifteen minutes later some blonde nurse pointed me in the general direction of the door, giving me a wave goodbye. I stepped out into the bright sunlight and withered like a vampire, a terrific pain shooting through my eye. Of course! The evil blonde nurse had dilated my eye, and a mighty fine job she did at that.
I felt my way to my vehicle, stumbling inside and groping for a pair of sunglasses, which wouldn't fit over the patch. I finally found reverse and secretly hoped I wouldn't back into anything. Just forty miles to the house, I thought, crossing my fingers. And off I went in search of home, blinded by the bright sunlight and the glare on that blasted plastic patch. A pirate patch...I've always wanted a black pirate patch and what do they give me? It might have been worth going through all this for a pirate patch! I mean, a plastic patch? You just don't get the full effect...

Easiest Sensory Bin EVER!
Classroom Activities Sunday, December 25, 2016
If you all are anything like me you're printing a ton of resources to use in your classroom and there are paper scraps everywhere. Literally. I had recently created a task for my students using astrobright paper and looked at all those bright, beautiful scraps and thought to myself "There has to be something I can do with these extra pieces." And not much later that's when it hit me, toss these scraps into my sensory bin!
If you're looking for what is seriously the EASIEST sensory bin ever, you've found it! Grab all those scraps you're not going to be able to reuse in art projects and toss them in your sensory bin. You'll be surprised with what your students come up with!

Hi! I just found your blog and love it! I am a MOId teacher and I have a few students with Autism. I have one student that rips up everything around him when he is agitated. Would it be good to have a small bin of paper on his side of the table to rip up when he is agitated?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! That would be a great idea. Pair it with identifying the emotion. It could definitely be part of a calm down system for your student.Delete
I have a great sensory bin made from a water table but, my students K-1st love to climb in it? What can I do to stop them from doing this?ReplyDeleteReplies
I would use a combination of visual rules (feet on floor, hands in bin, etc.) and reinforcement of those rules (token, tangible, edible, etc.).

Both of my children started new schools this year.
My son is in high school and loves it. He took an art class first semester and I enjoyed watching him work on his self-portrait.
|9th Grade self-portrait
My daughter is in middle school this year. And growing up so fast. Her school had a half-day today, so she is enjoying the sunshine.
|A girl, her dog, a new book, and sunshine:)
What else is new?
|I am officially a big nerd:)
I started wearing glasses this fall. I really needed them for long distances. Driving is much easier now that I can see road signs.
I have been simplifying life. I was a bit overwhelmed and it was time to let go of some commitments. (I highly recommend this if you are feeling scattered. It will all be okay and you can always add more things to your plate when you are ready.)
Along with letting go of commitments, I've also let go of unused items around our home. It's nice to have an empty shelf or two. (I still have a long way to go!)
Yoga and BodyFlow are my two favorite gym classes.
We can not walk to school this year, so I feel like I spend lots of time in the carpool line. I am thankful for wonderful friends who share this job with me. (You two know who you are and it has been such a joy to get to know you and your kiddos better this year.)
The last few snow days have helped me catch up on laundry...I can see the bottom of the laundry hamper! (This is the first time since becoming a mother that I can say that!)
Zoe's Kitchen just opened nearby. Such a great place for fresh takeout and they have great gluten-free options!
I am often asked about my shop. Polka Dot Skies is still on vacation and will be for a while. As much as I love my shop and my customers, life keeps getting busier as the kids grow up and I don't want to miss the rare opportunity when my tween and teen want to chat. I really treasure these moments. Right now, I am exactly where I need to be.
|Pause. My motto right now.
Now it's your turn. I have truly been wrapped up in my own little world for a while and I have missed you all. Please let me know how you are doing.

Autumn, most often associated with changing foliage, Halloween and dull weather, but it's also time of the largest beer drinking festival in the world. Oktoberfest!
As the travel experts, we wanted to take an in depth look at the best in-flight beer offerings above the clouds – so whether you're traveling to Germany with the 6 million other Oktoberfest goers, or you're going to catch last of the summer rays somewhere in Caribbean – having a bottle or two is always a good idea, because let's be honest, beer makes the ride a little less bumpy…
Southwest Airlines
America's answer to Ryanair, Southwest Airlines is dedicated to making sure you have a blast during your flight, and their beer selections falls nothing short of your expectations. Southwest was one of the pioneers of bringing specialty beer onboard their crafts, and they stick to their reputation of being affordable with reasonable pricing.
Inflight Offerings:
New Belgium Fat Tire known for a perfectly balanced flavour.
Leinenkugel's Seasonal, if you're lucky, maybe they'll have the "Oktoberfest" seasonal available.
Dos Equis Lager Especial, a classic pale malt designed for drink-ability.
British Airways
One of the most iconic and largest global airlines is proudly selling London Pride's brews. You couldn't experience more of the Britishness than sampling these ales, which are brewed right beside the River Thames. Popular lager choices such as Heineken and Amstel are also available as well as Asia's famous Tiger beer.
Inflight Offerings:
Fuller's Pride London, quintessentially British ales
United Airlines
United Airlines started offering specialty beers on flights back in 2010, and they are still going strong 5 years later. Make sure you ask your flight attendant if your beer is on the house the next time you take a long-haul-flight. Beers are complimentary on some longer flights as of April of this year.
Inflight Offerings:
Goose Island IPA, a hop lovers heaven.
Despite having two menus catering for European and North American markets, the famous Icelandic beer is served for both markets, because who wouldn't want to taste a beer brewed from crystal clear Icelandic water?!
Inflight Offerings:
As mentioned, authentically Icelandic beer brewed from clear Icelandic waters (probably melted glaciers)
Hawaiian Airlines
Everything about Hawaiian Airlines looks and feels authentically Hawaiian from the flight attendants outfits to the pineapple snacks. Fittingly, they've also brought one of the largest local breweries to the sky. As they say in Hawaii, Hipahipa (Cheers)!
Inflight Offerings:
Maui Brewing Company's Biking Blonde Lager, a light 100% malt beer that'll make you feel like you're on a beach.
Lufthansa Airlines
Lufthansa is one of the oldest operating airlines in the world. This German based company brings a taste of the traditional Oktoberfest on your flight. You can expect multiple different options from one of the largest macro breweries in Germany "Warsteiner Brewery", a brewery famous for its brews which have to pass the German Purity Law (a brewing law) dating back to 1615.
Inflight Offerings:
A lineup of premium beers from Warsteiner Brewery
Air New Zealand
Air New Zealand has an award-winning meal and beverage service, and we think that it might have to do with their long list of craft brews on board. Kick back and fly with some of the finest beverages available.
Inflight Offerings:
Macs's Craft Beers, a macro brewery of New Zealand with big flavors like the Gold All Malt Lager that is smooth and refreshing. Stella Artois, yeast and Saaz hops make for it crisp and smooth every time.
One of the largest airlines in the world added seven new craft beers to their menu last December to some of their flights. Depending on where you're flying out of or going to, you'll have a selection of local beers to choose from. Delicious and reliable Samuel Adams can be found on some selected flights, so just ask the attendant for selection.
Inflight Offerings:
Fancy imported and craft beers include Blue Moon (North America only) Heineken, Sweet Water and Samuel Adams (Oktoberfest).
…Fly responsibly – cheers!

Massachusetts venture capital firms are keeping more of their deal-making close to home.
Local venture capitalists closed on 199 deals in the Boston area in 2013, according to data provided by Dow Jones VentureSource. That represented 45 percent of their investments, the highest share of their total investing since 2007, as they pared back on deals in San Francisco, New York, and other innovation hubs.
Stephen Kraus, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners in Cambridge, said the climate for venture investing improved dramatically in Massachusetts in 2013 with a surge of younger companies selling shares to investors through initial public offerings, or IPOs. Going public allows for venture firms to cash in on their early investments.
"Massachusetts was home to the most life science IPOs last year and a number of great local tech companies either have gone public, like Care.com, or are rumored to go public soon, like Wayfair and HubSpot," said Kraus, who also serves as president of the New England Venture Capital Association, a trade group.
Wayfair, a home goods e-commerce firm, and HubSpot, a provider of marketing software for small businesses, have both reportedly lined up investment banks for IPOs this year.
The Boston area has also seen an uptick in seed funding for its tech companies and continues to have an active early-stage life science investor community, Kraus said.
"At every stage of the game we're seeing tons of possibility, which means those of us investing can do more close to home," Kraus said.
Dollar amounts were not available from Dow Jones VentureSource, so it's not clear whether more total funding remained in Massachusetts in 2013 than in prior years. However, the data does suggest Boston-area venture capital firms are finding a strong contingent of tech and biotech companies in Boston relative to other innovation hubs in the US.
A number of Boston-area venture capital firms have also been well-endowed for making new investments heading into this year. In 2013, Massachusetts-based VC firms raised $5.4 billion for new funds, more than triple the amount raised the year before, according to figures from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association.
At Boston startup Stackdriver, which aims to improve the performance of cloud-hosted software applications, chief executive Izzy Azeri said he's found Boston-area venture capital firms to be highly interested in backing local startups. His company has two venture capital firms as backers, Flybridge Capital Partners and Bain Capital Ventures, and both are headquartered in Boston. Together they invested $10 million in Stackdriver in September.
Boston-area venture capital firms are "heavily focused here," Azeri said, even though many have also opened offices in other regions of the US in recent years. Flybridge opened a New York City office in 2012, for instance.
NY & San Francisco investing
The increased focus on Boston for area VC firms is a departure from 2010 to 2012, when there was a notably lower percentage of investing in Boston by area VC firms. In 2010, for instance, the VCs closed just 36 percent of their deals in the Boston area as they increased their investing rate in San Francisco and New York.
By 2012, the percentage of deals done in San Francisco by Boston VC firms had hit the highest rate in at least nine years, 23 percent.
And Boston-area venture capital firms closed 17 percent of their deals in New York that year, up from 7 percent in 2007.
Companies funded by Boston-area VCs in the years leading up to 2013 included Twitter of San Francisco and Tumblr of New York, both backed by Spark Capital of Boston, and Marketo of San Mateo, Calif., funded by Boston-area firm Battery Ventures.
But the percentage of deals by Boston-area VC firms fell last year in San Francisco and New York, to 19 percent and 16 percent, respectively, as the firms favored deals with Boston-area companies.
Doubling down
Spark Capital is among the firms that appear to be paying more attention to Boston, according to Ryan Moore, partner at Atlas Venture in Cambridge. Spark's Boston investments in 2013 included co-leading a $52.5 million deal for online insurance agency Consumer United and taking part in a $2.1 million round for Superpedestrian, which offers a product that converts bicycles into hybrid electric bikes.
Moore also pointed to General Catalyst Partners of Cambridge and Flybridge as other firms that are "taking their expertise and finding good investments here in Boston."
Atlas Venture, meanwhile, has "definitely doubled down on our efforts here locally," he said. The firm invested in several dozen Boston-area startups in both tech and biotech in 2013. They included fantasy sports startup DraftKings, online custom goods marketplace CustomMade, and obesity drug developer Zafgen.
"We have definitely put a stake in the ground of saying Boston is where we live and where we want to invest," Moore said. "And we're not alone."

In-Depth Review
Playing with several cryptocurrencies prove to be a hit in online gambling; that is why having casinos like Crypto-Games.net make this activity even more convenient and attractive.
Crypto-Games.net debuted in 2014 as an online gambling website dedicated to online slots powered by Dogecoin, one of the more popular altcoins in the market. The demand for it and for adding Bitcoin to the game, however, pushed the team of operators to include other cryptocurrencies and improve the website by adding more games. Today, this site support several coins and has expanded its game library.
Bitcoin Games
This casino initially rolled out with only one casino game, which is a slot game. It carried over the game that was used on its original website. For the casino to grow, adding more games is essential. Thus, the dice game was included in its library in second half of 2014. With the Bitcoin dice and slot games on board, Crypto-Games.io further expanded its offerings by adding a blackjack game, giving more variety. In October 2015, lottery joined the ranks. Roulette, 5th game, was added in July 2016. These games have low house edges and don a retro feel that makes the website distinct from most of the Bitcoin casinos in the market. Provably fair technology is implemented accordingly and reviewed by some high trusted members of bitcointalk community.

A growing rugby league club is hoping to encourage more youngsters to give the sport a try this Easter.
Cramlington Rockets is holding camps again at Cramlington Sporting Club and Longhoughton First School in Alnwick, with a new camp at Ponteland First School to cope with demand.
And it has also added a football camp to itsAlnwick session, thanks to new signing, Cramlington-born ex-Sunderland goalkeeper Greg Purvis.
The camps in Alnwick and Ponteland are running for two days for five to 12-year-olds while the main camp at Cramlington will be running two four-day blocks over Easter for five to 16-year-olds.
The popular rugby camps will be a key feature alongside the multi-sports camp at Cramlington Sporting Club, the Rockets' home base.
In addition to all that, it has now added an online booking option.
Rockets community manager Steve Beaty said: "We are very excited about all the innovations we have coming up this Easter.
"Ponteland is an area that has really embraced rugby league and we get a lot of players coming across every Saturday to play. It made sense to give more kids the chance to get involved.
"We have returned to Longhoughton First School in Alnwick and we are excited to welcome Greg Purvis to the fold.
"I am sure his football camp will go down very well."
For more on the Cramlington Rockets camps this Easter, visit www.cramlingtonrockets.co.uk
Steve added: "The online payment system is something we've being wanting to add for a while.
"Making it as easy as possible for both non and current members was important and by being able to do it through our website means people can have confidence it is secure as well as hopefully spending time to see what else is on offer through the website."
"We believe it will really enhance the booking process for anyone that wants to join us for what are set to be some excellent camps."

The European Commission has today proposed new rules to ensure that digital business activities are taxed in a fair and growth-friendly way in the EU. The measures would make the EU a global leader in designing tax laws fit for the modern economy and the digital age.
The recent boom in digital businesses, such as social media companies, collaborative platforms and online content providers, has made a great contribution to economic growth in the EU. But current tax rules were not designed to cater for those companies that are global, virtual or have little or no physical presence. The change has been dramatic: 9 of the world's top 20 companies by market capitalisation are now digital, compared to 1 in 20 ten years ago. The challenge is to make the most of this trend, while ensuring that digital companies also contribute their fair share of tax. If not, there is a real risk to Member State public revenues: digital companies currently have an average effective tax rate half that of the traditional economy in the EU.
Today's proposals come as Member States seek permanent and lasting solutions to ensure a fair share of tax revenues from online activities, as urgently called for by EU leaders in October 2017. Profits made through lucrative activities, such as selling user-generated data and content, are not captured by today's tax rules. Member States are now starting to seek fast, unilateral solutions to tax digital activities, which creates a legal minefield and tax uncertainty for business. A coordinated approach is the only way to ensure that the digital economy is taxed in a fair, growth-friendly and sustainable way.
Two distinct legislative proposals proposed by the Commission today will lead to a fairer taxation of digital activities in the EU:
- The first initiative aims to reform corporate tax rules so that profits are registered and taxed where businesses have significant interaction with users through digital channels. This forms the Commission's preferred long-term solution.
- The second proposal responds to calls from several Member States for an interim tax which covers the main digital activities that currently escape tax altogether in the EU.
This package sets out a coherent EU approach to a digital taxation system which supports the Digital Single Market and which will feed into international discussions aiming to fix the issue at the global level.
Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice-President for the Euro and Social Dialogue said: "Digitalisation brings countless benefits and opportunities. But it also requires adjustments to our traditional rules and systems. We would prefer rules agreed at the global level, including at the OECD. But the amount of profits currently going untaxed is unacceptable. We need to urgently bring our tax rules into the 21st century by putting in place a new comprehensive and future-proof solution."
Pierre Moscovici, Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs added: "The digital economy is a major opportunity for Europe and Europe is a huge source of revenues for digital firms. But this win-win situation raises legal and fiscal concerns. Our pre-Internet rules do not allow our Member States to tax digital companies operating in Europe when they have little or no physical presence here. This represents an ever-bigger black hole for Member States, because the tax base is being eroded. That's why we're bringing forward a new legal standard as well an interim tax for digital activities."
Proposal 1: A common reform of the EU's corporate tax rules for digital activities
This proposal would enable Member States to tax profits that are generated in their territory, even if a company does not have a physical presence there. The new rules would ensure that online businesses contribute to public finances at the same level as traditional 'brick-and-mortar' companies.
A digital platform will be deemed to have a taxable 'digital presence' or a virtual permanent establishment in a Member State if it fulfils one of the following criteria:
- It exceeds a threshold of €7 million in annual revenues in a Member State
- It has more than 100,000 users in a Member State in a taxable year
- Over 3000 business contracts for digital services are created between the company and business users in a taxable year.
The new rules will also change how profits are allocated to Member States in a way which better reflects how companies can create value online: for example, depending on where the user is based at the time of consumption.
Ultimately, the new system secures a real link between where digital profits are made and where they are taxed. The measure could eventually be integrated into the scope of the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) – the Commission's already proposed initiative for allocating profits of large multinational groups in a way which better reflects where the value is created.
Proposal 2: An interim tax on certain revenue from digital activities
This interim tax ensures that those activities which are currently not effectively taxed would begin to generate immediate revenues for Member States. It would also help to avoid unilateral measures to tax digital activities in certain Member States which could lead to a patchwork of national responses which would be damaging for our Single Market.
Unlike the common EU reform of the underlying tax rules, this indirect tax would apply to revenues created from certain digital activities which escape the current tax framework entirely. This system will apply only as an interim measure, until the comprehensive reform has been implemented and has inbuilt mechanisms to alleviate the possibility of double taxation.
The tax will apply to revenues created from activities where users play a major role in value creation and which are the hardest to capture with current tax rules, such as those revenues:
- created from selling online advertising space
- created from digital intermediary activities which allow users to interact with other users and which can facilitate the sale of goods and services between them
- created from the sale of data generated from user-provided information.
Tax revenues would be collected by the Member States where the users are located, and will only apply to companies with total annual worldwide revenues of €750 million and EU revenues of €50 million. This will help to ensure that smaller start-ups and scale-up businesses remain unburdened. An estimated €5 billion in revenues a year could be generated for Member States if the tax is applied at a rate of 3%.
Next Steps
The legislative proposals will be submitted to the Council for adoption and to the European Parliament for consultation. The EU will also continue to actively contribute to the global discussions on digital taxation within the G20/OECD, and push for ambitious international solutions.

The Positive Empowerment Group – or PEG – was the brainchild of one of ADKC's members who identified that ADKC members were really in need of some emotional support.
This is the story of how the group developed – in her words…
"I was always in tears, a sandwich carer for my mum and son and I had problems of my own. I felt like the weight of the world was on top of me and I was sinking. I had no-one to share problems with or offload onto. I approached Jamie, chief executive of ADKC, to discuss how there could be support that helps people like me- as I was sure I wasn't the only one -and with his help and funding, this user group was born. I have built up a solid base of friends as a result – and, having Joe (facilitator) there, with his knowledge of psychology, he is able to listen to the various issues we are all struggling with and help us to find solutions together." MP – group founder.
Now called the "Positive Empowerment Group" or "PEG", it meets once a month on a Monday. Keep an eye on our events page for more information about dates.
These are what a few other PEG members have said:
"I have found it to be a lifeline, and a confidence builder with regards to accepting and living with my disability. You don't feel like you have to hide your feelings as no-one judges you". (PD)
" It is my space, a really important place. It is like being at home. I am addicted to it. I am not good with dates but I know that I will have a message from one of my friends from the group to remind me to come along, and I will always be made to feel welcome and be supported". (HT)
"We all support each other – we generate strength from each other. Joe (facilitator) listens from the side-lines, absorbs everything and chips in to give advice when needed. He is an invaluable part of the group. (NW)
"It is an interesting group. There are issues that resonate with all involved. It is not like traditional counselling or therapy – members generate suggestions and solutions. It is like a ship- with everyone having a go at steering it with a common goal. Some people just come in for a couple of meetings, others are there every time. It is such a welcoming group – something which you do not find anywhere else. Joe Sairally (facilitator)

today i compared the running times of the quicksort algorithm implemented in java, scala and groovy. i took the scala implementation from 'Scala By Example' [available on scala-lang.org] and based on that i wrote the other two. i ran a test on an array of 1.000.000 integers. the algorithms were not optimized for each particular language [but i compiled the groovy file at least] and i don't really know if these results are quite representative. but anyway, here are the running times:
java: 280 ms
scala: 359 ms
groovy: 535250 ms

Birdman's Cash Money Records Signs Limp Bizkit, Ashanti Next?
Birdman has made some unique signings in the past, but this one might take the cake. Cash Money Records has added the veteran rock-rap group Limp Bizkit to their star-studded label. Young Money CEO Lil Wayne spilled the beans when he called into New York's 98.7 Kiss FM on Thursday (Feb. 24).
"As far as Cash Money, they're always listening and looking at acts, so honestly, it's like every other day I hear about somebody new just signed to Cash Money," Weezy told radio host Lenny Green. "The other day I just found out Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money. So they're signing everybody and everybody's getting a chance."
LB frontman Fred Durst confirmed the signing Friday morning on his Twitter page: "The game is missing danger, electricity, and rock n roll!!!!" Cash Money Limp Bizkit." Then he followed it with, "Rock shit doesn't rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop so I'm back in this ho! #CMLB."
Some rock fans were concerned about the band maintaining their authenticity with partnering with the rap label. But Durst assured them that Limp Bizkit will never change no matter who they signed to.
In addition, R&B songbird Ashanti might join the YMCMB family, as well. "I don't wanna step across any boundaries, but I think we're working with Ashanti right now," Wayne revealed. Ironically, 'Shanti's single 'The Woman You Love' features recent Cash Money signee Busta Rhymes.
If this is true, Ashanti will be label mates with fellow singer Christina Milian who recently inked with Cash Money in early February.
While we are happy that Cash Money are expanding their label with these various signings, we hope they are not spreading themselves too thin. But we wish Birdman and Limp Bizkit much success in their rap-rock endeavors.

In my previous post, "what are (not) Spaces for Social Innovation", I went briefly through a few examples of self-proclaimed social innovation spaces and tried to look at how they describe themselves and what can be some constitutive elements of Spaces for Social Innovation.
As a starting point for an emerging theory on spaces for social innovation, I summarized relevant points from sociology and social innovation theory in three main principles that are applicable to all types of spaces for social innovation and can be used as a starting base for their understanding. These three principles may be obvious to many but it is important to have them written down and explained before any further deepening of the concept, as they can later on cause confusion. They do not represent an exhaustive list nor should be considered as a final version, as it represents a work in progress, on which feedback is appreciated.
- Spaces for social innovation are social spaces. Space, in this sense, refers to the spatial practice of its social actors, ordered through representations of space with specific spatial codes. These social spaces are thus particularly designed to enable social innovation and are given life solely through the practices of the communities that inhabit them. Following this principle, several mentions must be made such as that the term "space" does not necessarily refer to a physical space, (though there are several theories that suggest that face-to-face interaction facilitates social innovation) or that a large diversity of spaces with a given purpose can be redesigned and understood as a space for social innovation.
- Spaces for social innovation are innovative and social oriented. Bringing Social Innovation down to one of its basic definitions, innovative solutions that address social needs, it is important not to confuse spaces for social innovation with organizations that simply offer solutions for social needs that are not innovative in nature (completely new or an improvement of the current used methods) or with organizations that offer innovative solutions but their finality is not focused on addressing social needs.
- Spaces for social innovation engage in the process of social innovation. Described by many with slight variations, the process of social innovation usually entails several stages or steps, from inception to impact: identification of new unmet social needs, development of new solutions (ideas, proposals, prototyping…), evaluation of effectiveness, sustaining and scaling up (diffusion) of effective innovations. Some spaces for social innovation only address the initial steps of the process, while others focus on scaling and diffusion.

Seminar: Calabi-Yau Manifolds and SU(3) Structure
- Date:
- Location: A73121
- Lecturer: Andre Lukas (Oxford)
- Contact person: Fabrizio Nieri
- Seminarium
String compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds and on manifolds with SU(3) structure are usually seen as complementary. In this talk I will explore the possibility of combining these two approaches by studying non-trivial SU(3) structures on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It turns out that large classes of Calabi-Yau manifolds do indeed support such SU(3) structures. Moreover, for certain choices these structures are potentially relevant for string theory. In particular, it turns out that complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds - and likely even more general classes - support a Strominger-Hull system. These results may lead to a new avenue for string compactification and I will discuss the prospects and current problems.

Posted: 1 Jun 2005
Nigel Griffiths of pSeries Technical Support at IBM has posted quite an extensive article on virtualization. It is entitled "POWER5 Virtualisation: How to set up the SUSE Linux Virtual I/O Server."
"Virtualisation is a hot topic, and the computing industry has varying views on recommendations for different technologies and solutions, development, and use. Through examples that apply equally to both pSeries, p5, and eServer OpenPower systems, this article shows how to set up and use the SUSE Virtual I/O Server (VIO Server). The SUSE Linux VIO Server is an alternative to the VIO Server software offered by IBM."
