iPv4 Net Addresses Could Be Gone Soon
You might have heard something about the exhaustion of the pool of free IP addresses. It's been topic of discussion among network engineers for almost 20 years.
But according to current estimates, 3 months from this past weekend, the IANA will have no more free blocks of IPv4 addresses to allocate to the various RIRs (Regional Internet Registries), the bodies which then parcel out addresses to Internet Service Providers. Approximately one year from today those ISPs will run out of addresses to allocate to end-users. You'd better buy them all up now before the hoarders get to them!
There has been a complete solution to the problem available for quite a while, namely IPv6, which vastly expands the address space and makes many other improvements. Unfortunately, IPv4 software and firmware is necessarily incompatible with IPv6 software and the lack of an immediate problem (for the next year or so) has meant that many vendors and users are unprepared for crisis day.
Some industries are prepared, or at least preparing. Cable modems based on DOCSIS 3.0 support IPv6 and are widely, if not universally supported. Much back-end architecture at ISPs is also IPv6-ready. But while you at your home may have an IPv6-ready cable modem and your Windows version may support it as well, your router probably doesn't support it and your application software has no idea about IPv6.
Globally, support is spotty: 206 of the 294 TLDs (top-level domains) in the DNS fully support IPv6. Based on the various routing tables, only 7.8% of networks around the world run IPv6.
Thanks to Geoff Huston and George Michaelson of APNIC for the graph. (at RIPE 56 in Berlin, May 2008)
The obvious solution to these problems has always been a "dual-stack" setup of some kind, where users could run IPv4 and IPv6 or have IPv4 on their computers bridge to IPv6 on the network. These systems are complex enough that they aren't popular. Many IPv6 users just make the jump and put up with what's available to them. The Huston/Michaelson presentation above says "Around 25% of IPv6 clients appear to use tunneling techniques to reach IPv6 servers" (this is 2 1/2 year old data).
There are hints of what you might call "pre-optimism" in the numbers, but overall it looks like something bad is going to happen. You were warned.

Happy Independence Day!
One of the things my class this past year loved was history. It was my PLEASURE to teach them all sorts of things, including why we call it Independence Day! I have made it my goal to call it that going forward. It's not just the Fourth of July but the day our country was free!
Before you look down at the picture, here is one warning: it's not all Stampin' Up (but everything else is)! I am sorry! Long story short, I didn't own the Simply Stars set we sell, prior to making this card. As you can tell, the "A" is backwards... but in papercrafting I like to say those little "mistakes" add character. :) Plus this card really isn't being sent to anyone, I plan to frame it and put it in my stamp room!

Record: 9-1/1991* 2-7-1/1992 *World Bowl Champions
London represents a pearl that the NFL has been eager to expand to internationally for quite some time. With the "London Bowl" and other experiments in checking the pulse of Englanders for their interest in American Football, the NFL made it official with their 1990 announcement that they intended to run an international league with a team in London. Unable to find a suitor willing to cough up the 11 million dollar price tag to purchase the team, the Monarchs became a league run franchise. Led by league appointed general manager Billy Hicks, and English native and offensive head coach Larry Kennan, the Monarchs would be the first team on the board taking defensive backs in the WLAF inaugural draft, and with that pick grabbed Corris Ervin. Through and through the Monarchs executed well in the draft, and it would show later in the All-World roster after the 1991 season, especially on the offensive line. London later would turn around and take Stan Gelbaugh in the WLAF supplemental draft to back up John Witkowski at quarterback.
The Monarchs were run on a shoestring budget and played in Wembley Stadium in downtown London. Like all European Stadiums, at capacity 87,000, the main purpose was for concerts and soccer games, but it was converted to handle the rigors of a 120+ yard stadium used in American Football games. Footballs initially got stuck in customs and the limited number of footballs the team originally could get, became worn and flat after a few practices. The players quickly had to adapt to the open air stadium and wet Seattle-like weather of London. The Monarchs in the end however, put together an amazing run in 1991.
The first game in WLAF history would pit the Monarchs against the Frankfurt Galaxy. Chris Williams, (FRG) a nose tackle, would score the first points in league history when he stuffed runningback Judd Garrett (LON) for a safety. Starting quarterback John Witkowski would be replaced in the lineup by Stan Gelbaugh, and the Monarchs high scoring offensive machine would get back on track and beat the Galaxy 24-11 in London. Gelbaugh would not relinquish his role as starter for the remainder of his career on the team. He'd earn league MVP honors for his play at the end of the season. At runningback the team sported sure handed receiver Judd Garrett, and hard nosed fullback Jeff Alexander. The offensive line, which only allowed 11 sacks all season, was headlined by Doug Marrone, Steve Gabbard, Theo Adams, Paul Berardelli, and Larry Jones. Quality depth would be given from Todd Oberdorf and John Fruhmorgen. The line became known as 'The Nasty Boyz'.
At wide receiver, it seemed no fair. The team drafted Dana Brinson and the league touted his dimunitive size and speed as electrifying for football in their print magazines. Brinson did not disappoint, leading the league in punt return yards. On the other side Jon Horton would lead all receivers in yardage, and dominate defensive backs week in and week out. They'd be backed up by veteran Tony Sargent, and Andre Riley.
Defense wasn't an entirely different matter either on the "Hart Attack" defense. Roy Hart was one of the league's dominating nose tackles in the Monarchs' 3-4 defense. Linebacker Danny Lockett was the league leader sacks, along with Marlon Brown, while underrated Rickey Williams chipped in 70+ total tackles. At defensive back were Ervin, and headhunters Dedrick Dodge and Danny Crossman at safety.
Phil Alexander, kicker, and Victor Ebubedike, fullback, represented international flavor for the Monarchs, with the league's "Operation Discovery", and they too would be head and shoulders above their own international countrymen. Alexander led scorers his rookie season and was named Operation Discovery player of the year.
London lost their only game of the season in the final week versus their rivals, -the Barcelona Dragons. The Monarchs met them again in World Bowl I, suffocating the Dragons 21-0, paced by Judd Garrett with 13 receptions and Danny Crossman's Herculaneum MVP performance with 3 picks and a touchdown. Slightly over 61,000 watched the game at Wembely Stadium in London. Afterwards the Monarchs were the toast of the town, even pressing a single titled "Yo Yo Monarchs!" Unfortunately this was the franchise's only appearance in the World Bowl.
The Monarchs would be picked apart by the NFL for talent in the offseason, and head coach Larry Kennan bolted for the states to become offensive coordinator of the Seahawks. To replace him, defensive coordinator Ray Willsey assumed the head coaching duties. London drafted Roland Smith (CB Miami) with their first pick in 1992, and later added notable names such as Bernard Ford (WR), and Steve McNair's older brother Fred, to back up Stan Gelbaugh at quarterback. Gelbaugh got embroiled in a league-wide contract controversy over league retainer fees, but was a true ironman, playing in the NFL during the WLAF offseason and then later returning to the lineup in 1992.
While the Monarchs started of with a shaky victory over their North American rival New York-New Jersey Knights, the team slumped losing 7 of their last 9 contests. Gelbaugh's statistics notably dropped off from his MVP season as he threw for only 11 touchdowns to 12 picks. On a brighter note, Jeff Alexander stepped up finishing the season with 702 rushing yards, and linebacker Danny Lockett had another outstanding season. Outside of that the Monarchs tied the Birmingham Fire, which ultimately proved pivotable in the American race between the Fire, Surge, and Riders. The WLAF reorganized after the 1992 season.
The Monarchs (along with the Dragons and Galaxy) were reborn in the reconstituted NFLE in 1995, and their games moved to White Hart Lane. With the Monarchs reconstituted, London came out flat under head coach Bobby Hammond, posting 3 4-6 records. As fan attendance dwindled the Monarchs were forced to move and called up their offensive coordinator Lionel Taylor to be head coach. The NFLE would rebrand the team as the England Monarchs and play in a variety of venues including the Crystal Palace, Ashton Gate, and Alexander Stadium. This wouldn't save the franchise, and at the end of the 1998 season, the franchise was shut down after a 3-7 record and even worse attendance than at White Hart Lane. Victor X Ebubedike, would be the lone holdover from the original roster seeing it from beginning to end. Other notables along the way to play for the Monarchs included, future Superbowl quarterback Brad Johnson and former Chicago Bears star William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

The Internet Safety qualification is actually part of SQA's "e-only" project - which is an experiment to trial various online technologies. One of those technologies is a wiki.
We have put all of the teaching and learning materials into a wiki so that teachers and lecturers can change the materials. So, if you've discovered errors or omissions then this is your chance to fix them.
Wikis sound a great idea - but practical issues (such as time constraints on busy teachers and lecturers) might be a problem. So it will be interesting to see if this wiki is used.

Strange Settlement on an Alien Planet
After reading about the conflict between us and Stardock, several people have asked the reasonable question, "Why can't you guys just work this out?" In early October 2017 we tried to do just that, exchanging email with Brad Wardell. In these communications, Fred and I defined our idea of a 'win-win' solution...
(Oct. 6, 2017 email from Paul to Brad Wardell) "… It is important that our players are not confused about which game they are getting, so we need to clearly distinguish our respective projects. That separation should fall along our respective rights, Stardock having purchased the Star Control trademarks and Fred and I owning all the IP rights to the works we created.
As we've said to you several times over the past years, we do not want Stardock to use any of our IP, and that remains our position today. To avoid consumer confusion, we must also pass on the DLC option you proposed. Despite your suggestion below, you do not have a license to use our IP. All rights to our work reverted to us long ago. You (and Atari) previously acknowledged same. Further, time and again you have asked for a new license, notwithstanding our consistent rejections. Kindly do not use our IP in your game. If already added, please remove it before release.
We too wish to see both projects succeed and are confident that with reasonable efforts on our respective parts, we can avoid any perceived conflict or confusion between them. …"
Initially both sides made moves toward compromise. Our blog now includes the attribution "Star Control is a registered trademark of Stardock Systems, Inc". We describe Ghosts of the Precursors™ as "a sequel to the Ur-Quan Masters". We no longer use the #starcontrol hashtag. Stardock removed images of our alien races from their website banner and they changed "SUPER-MELEE" to "Fleet Battles" in Origins.
But earlier this month we received an unfathomable settlement offer from Stardock. Paraphrasing from legalese, it requires…
- Fred and Paul must surrender all their IP rights to the classic Star Control games to Stardock.
- Fred and Paul never again use the words "STAR CONTROL" or "GHOSTS OF THE PRECURSORS" or "THE UR-QUAN MASTERS".
- For the next 5 years, Fred and Paul do not work on any game similar to the classic Star Control games.
- Fred and Paul issue a public apology to Stardock.
- Fred and Paul never again challenge Stardock's rights to STAR CONTROL trademark or STAR CONTROL 3 copyright.
- Fred and Paul pay Stardock $225,000.
- Fred and Paul never again call themselves the "creators" of the classic Star Control games.
And if their intent wasn't clear enough, Stardock has now also filed for the trademarks:"The Ur-Quan Masters", "Melnorme", "VUX", Pkunk", "Ilwrath", "Chenjesu", "Androsynth", "Spathi", "SUPER-MELEE", "Syreen", "Ur-Quan", "Orz" and "Yehat".
Fred and I still believe in the 'win-win' scenario for both studios and both games, but given Stardock's recent actions, we seem headed into a world in which many hundreds of hours and many MILLIONS of dollars are spent on legal actions. Those hours and that money will be lost – not spent on making both games cooler, more beautiful, more fun -- and ultimately that hurts players like you.

One of the best opportunities to own a turn key Formula Drift car has arrived this afternoon from Torrance, California. This Scion FR-S built by World Racing has been followed by Wrecked Magazine and was slated with a 2013 Formula Drift debut but due to the customer being unable to finish the project the guys at World Racing are looking to liquidate it for pennies on the dollar! The car is being sold as a rolling chassis and drivetrain/suspension is complete. Engine plate, bell housing, and adapter plate are all designed to mate the Quaife QBE69G 6-speed sequential transmission to a Toyota Tundra 3UR-F3 V8 which can be purchased separately. World Racing is offering the car without the engine as it is most likely not the "go-to package" some are looking at in a Formula Drift build. There is a body kit available for this car that has been mounted but for visual stimulation we decided not to include it in the shots and showcase the chassis. Included are three spare body kits that are all unpainted and a slew of OEM parts. The price would be discussed in person with serious potential clients only!
Here are the STATS of this Formula Drift legal/ready Scion FR-S:

Like many conservatives, the announcement of Paul Ryan as Romney's VP pick made me very happy. I can't wipe this silly smile off my face. It's not Rand Paul my first choice, but of the likely possibilities, Ryan was the best. He will fight for fiscal sanity. I can't wait for the showdowns with Harry Reid in the Senate. I have no doubt Ryan will call ol' Harry out on shennanigans. And the VP debate? I can see Biden's head exploding already.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's a nice young fellow, easy on the eyes, that may bring in some of the shallow female vote. (The non-shallow female vote is already in the Romney camp).
BUT while this is a great pick, we are screwed more than ever if Obama does win a second term. I didn't think anything could make an Obama second term worse, but losing Paul Ryan's leadership in the house would do it. Ryan can't be re-elected to his House seat now. Chew on that for a second. Replacing his fiscal leadership in the House is impossible. He would have been the mattress in the canyon at the bottom of the fiscal cliff Obama is driving us off of. Now, if Obama is re-elected, he's on the sidelines.
Be careful what you wish for. I love the Ryan pick, but if Romney loses, we are even more screwed, something I didn't think was possible.

RinseKit FAQ
Easy to Fill
Rinsekit holds two gallons of hot or cold water and fills in less than 30 seconds from a standard hose connector or home sink. It has been designed to not only easily fill, but drain water quickly. In addition RinseKit also self-cleans every time you fill it with water.
The sprayer nozzle offers seven different settings and the hose is 6' long. The plastic lid detaches and turns into a pad to stand or sit on while cleaning sandy or dirty feet. The lid also has inch markers for measuring fish and can be used as a cutting board. RinsKit has a storage area to keep wet bathing suits, sun tan lotion and other items for easy access.
Rinsekit sprays water with the same pressure as a garden hose and will hold that pressure for one month. It does not require a pump to create this pressure, like other portable showers. Rinsekit also does not require any batteries to create the pressure. When filled, the 2 gallon pressure chamber fills with 65 psi of water pressure, which is the standard home pressure, in 20 seconds, and will maintain this pressure for 2-3 minutes
Each RinseKit is BPA Free so it is safe to drink from. There are also no moving parts to break or wear down. As an example, its durable materials withstood an instance where RinseKit parked and SUV on the unit without any damage. The plastic is made from virgin PE and has only two small stainless steel parts so there is no corrosion

Word on the Street: Internet smarts
So many questions are answered using the Internet these days, but does "Googling" make us feel smarter?
A new study asked two groups of people how a zipper works. Both groups were given the same information, but one had it from the Internet, while the other was "offline."
According to the experiment, the group of Internet users believed they were the smarter ones.
News 12 decided to ask viewers if the Internet makes them feel smarter.

Zefira sailing yacht is the seventh design of Dubois Naval Architects, and a gorgeous 47.9-meter (157-foot) vessel built by Fitzroy Yachts. Built entirely from aluminum, the lightweight yacht was designed without a flybridge, and is the largest sloop ever created by Dubois.
The owners of the yacht have owned another Dubois sloop in the past, so this one just had to be better than the previous one. Keeping comfort at the core of the project, the yacht maker managed to meet the requirements of the Italian owners.
The luxe interiors boast beautiful finishes, cozy furnishings, and a natural, facile flow of space. They were created by Remi Tessier, who turned the owner's suite into a real gem, with a generous wardrobe space, a spacious en suite bathroom, and a very welcoming color palette. This is a vessel that one can only admire, both on the inside and on the outside.

As the August 31 trade deadline approaches, we're likely to see more and more prospects on the trading block. In addition to our regular features, Down on the Farm will provide brief capsules of all prospects involved in these late summer trades.
Cory Stewart, LHP (Padres to Pirates in Brian Giles trade)
Stewart was originally drafted by the Reds in the 27th round in 1998, out of high school in Texas. A shoulder injury led to his release in 2000. He drifted to independent ball, pitched well, then was signed by the Padres as a free agent. Fully recovered from his arm problems, Stewart developed into one of the best prospects in the Padres system, posting a 3.72 ERA and a 133/50 K/BB ratio in 126 innings this year for Double-A Mobile. Stewart's best pitch is his curveball, but his 88-92 mph fastball is respectable, and his command is sharp. He looks like a solid Grade B prospect.
Jason Bay, OF (Padres to Pirates in Giles trade)
Bay was originally Expos property, drafted in the 22nd round out of Gonzaga in 2000. He hit .362 in A-ball in '01, but was traded to the Mets in the spring of '02. He then went to the Padres last July as part of the Steve Reed/Bobby Jones deal. Bay has played well at every level, showing power, speed, and good strike zone judgment. He hit .303 with 20 homers and 23 steals this year at Triple-A Portland. He missed six weeks after being hit by an Elmer Dessens pitch, but seems to have recovered fully. Bay has solid skills in all aspects of diamond play, and it's a bit of a puzzle how he lasted to the 22nd round.
Chris Tierney, LHP (Royals to Padres in Rondell White trade)
The Royals drafted Tierney in the seventh round in '01, out of high school in Illinois. A thin, projectable lefty who stands tall on the mound at 6-6, Tierney has a high-80s fastball that could pick up velocity as he fills out his frame. His curveball and changeup have their moments, but so far he has been very inconsistent. He has a 4.38 ERA this year at Class A Wilmington, with a poor 73/48 K/BB ratio. His control is OK, but he doesn't dominate people, and will need to learn the difference between throwing strikes and throwing quality strikes. There is potential here, but so far it is mostly untapped.
Brian Sanches, RHP (Royals to Padres in White trade)
Sanches was drafted out of Lamar University in 1999. He pitched well as a starter in A-ball, but had serious problems adjusting to Double-A competition, where he's spent the last three years. Converted to the bullpen this year, Sanches has improved, posting a 3.16 ERA and a 73/17 K/BB ratio in 85 innings. His control is good, and he's made strides keeping hitters off balance with his 88-mph fastball, curve, and change. He projects as a middle reliever at this point.
Justin Pope, RHP (Cardinals to Yankees in Sterling Hitchcock trade)
Drafted by St. Louis in the first round in 2001, Central Florida right-hander Justin Pope missed half of the 2002 season following elbow surgery, but posted a 1.38 ERA in the Class A Midwest League after recovering. He's been less effective this season, with a 4.92 mark at Palm Beach in the Florida State League. Pope's fastball is average; he's lost velocity following the injury. He has a decent slider and changeup. His 69/33 K/BB in 106 innings at Palm Beach is OK; the walk rate is low, but the strikeout rate is mediocre, and not a good sign for higher levels. He's a Grade C prospect at this point, and is 23 years old.
Ben Julianel, LHP (Cardinals to Yankees in Hitchcock trade)
The Cards drafted Ben Julianel in the 12th round in 2001, from San Diego State. He's spent the last two years at Class A Peoria in the Midwest League, pitching very well. He has an excellent 1.05 ERA this year, with a 78/25 K/BB ratio in 52 innings. Despite his superb strikeout rate, he does not throw hard, owning a fastball that is just mediocre on its best days. But he has a good breaking ball, throws strikes, and has gotten people out so far. He projects as a Lefty-One-Out-Guy (LOOGY). Julianel turns 24 next month.
Kieran Mattison, RHP (Royals to Indians in Brian Anderson trade)
Mattison, 23, pitched college ball at East Carolina, but wasn't highly-regarded and went undrafted in 2002. He signed as a free agent, and has had a very good season at Class A, splitting between Burlington in the Midwest League and Wilmington in the Carolina League, combining for a 2.80 ERA and 118/35 K/BB ratio in 142 innings. Mattison has a fastball timed at 88 to 90 mph. He also has a curveball and changeup, both of which are decent pitches. It's puzzling why he wasn't drafted; he has a better arm than a lot of guys who were. We need to see how he holds up at higher levels.
Trey Dyson, 1B (Royals to Indians in Anderson trade)
Dyson was a successful college player at the University of South Carolina, but like Mattison, he wasn't drafted, joining the Royals system as a free agent in 2002. A 6-4, 220-pound left-handed hitter, Dyson is hitting .275 with 14 homers this year, and has made major strides with his strike zone judgment. He does not have much defensive value, however, and will probably end up as a DH. He is 23 years old.
Ray Sadler, OF (Cubs to Pirates in Randall Simon trade)
The Cubs drafted Sadler in the 30th round in 1999, from a junior college in Texas. A speedy outfielder, he has some pop in his bat as well, and was hitting .291 with a .434 SLG before the trade, playing at Double-A West Tennessee. Sadler is very good with the glove, but will have to prove his bat will hold up against higher-level pitching. He has problems with strike zone judgment on occasion. 22 years old, he projects as a useful reserve outfielder.
Emmanuel Ramirez, RHP (Cubs to Rockies in Tony Womack trade)
The Cubs signed Ramirez (then known as Pedro Olivero) in 1999, from the Dominican Republic. A member in good standing of Chicago's Live Arm Collection, Ramirez has a fastball/slider combination, and projects as a solid middle reliever. He has split this year between Class A Daytona and Double-A West Tennessee, combining for a 2.36 ERA and a 47/26 K/BB mark in 46 innings. His walk rate is too high, and he'll have to improve his command before getting a major league trial. But his strikeout rate is also high, a good sign. Ramirez is 23 years old, and rates as a Grade C/C+ type prospect, a potentially useful bullpen arm.
Greg Bruso, RHP (Giants to Brewers in Eric Young trade)
The Giants drafted Bruso in the 16th round in 2002, out of the University of California-Davis. He posted a 1.99 ERA last year in the Northwest League, getting himself on the prospect radar, and has combined for a 3.26 ERA and a sharp 122/22 K/BB ratio this year, pitching at Class A San Jose and Double-A Norwich. Bruso has a mediocre fastball, but gets people out with his curve, slider, and changeup. He has successfully made the finesse pitcher transition to Double-A, a good sign for his future, but will need some Triple-A time to make adjustments. Bruso is 23 years old. He could be a Rick Reed-like starter if everything goes well, but for every similar finesse success, there are five who don't make it.
Tim Hummel, 2B-3B (White Sox to Reds in Scott Sullivan trade)
The White Sox drafted Hummel from Old Dominion in the second round in 2000. He made good progress at first, but stalled following a mediocre season in Triple-A in '02. He has rebounded this year, hitting .284 with a .349 OBP and a .447 SLG in 126 games at Triple-A Charlotte, with a career-best 15 homers so far. Hummel is best at second base, but can also play third and short, though he lacks the tools needed to play those positions full-time. His plate discipline is decent, but he hits the ball on the ground a lot, and tends to hit into double plays. He is 24 years old.
Matt Belisle, RHP (Braves to Reds in Kent Mercker trade)
Belisle was drafted by the Braves in the second round in 1998, out of high school in Texas. He had a strong campaign in 2000, but hurt his back and ended up missing all of 2001 following surgery to repair a ruptured disc. He came back in 2002 and was less effective, lacking the zip he formerly had on his fastball. This year, Belisle had a 3.52 ERA and a 94/42 K/BB in 125 innings for Double-A Greenville. He is still a decent prospect, owning a 90-mph fastball (as opposed to the 95-mph fastball he used to have), and a decent curve. He could be a good back-of-the-rotation starter or perhaps a middle reliever. He is 23 years old, and now rates as a B-/C+ type prospect.
Ryan Hannaman, LHP (Giants to Orioles in Sidney Ponson trade)
The Giants drafted Hannaman in the fourth round in 2000, from high school in Alabama. Although he hasn't received a lot of attention, he is one of the better left-handed prospects in the minor leagues. Hannaman, 21, works with a fastball clocked as high as 94 mph. He also has a good slider, and his command has been surprisingly good, considering that he didn't pitch much in high school. He posted an outstanding 145/46 K/BB ratio in 132 innings last year in the Class A South Atlantic League. He has been less successful this year, posting a 4.74 ERA and 77/32 K/BB in 63 innings in the Class A California League. His strikeout rate remains very high, a great sign, but his command has slipped. Hannaman has missed time this year with a sore arm, but it isn't supposed to be a major problem. Assuming that is true, he rates as a solid B/B+ prospect, as a live-armed lefty with a fresh arm and a good track record.
Brandon Claussen, LHP (Yankees to Reds in Aaron Boone trade)
The Yankees drafted Claussen in the 34th round in 1998, from Howard Junior College in Texas. He emerged as a top prospect in 2001, possibly the top southpaw pitching talent in the minor leagues, but blew out his elbow and had to have Tommy John surgery last spring. Claussen has returned healthy this year. His fastball isn't quite up to what it was before, but is still respectable, and his breaking stuff has returned. He has a 2.75 ERA with a 39/18 K/BB ratio in 11 starts at Columbus in the Triple-A International League this spring. The strikeout rate is low, and an indicator that he still has some work to do in getting his stuff back, but overall he is still an effective pitcher. At 25 years old, Claussen should go right into the Cincinnati rotation.
Charlie Manning, LHP (Yankees to Reds in Boone trade)
Drafted by the Yankees in the ninth round in 2001, Manning, a University of Tampa product, is your classic soft-tossing lefty. His fastball runs 87-89 mph. He has a good curve, and his changeup has its moments as an above-average pitch. Manning has had problems with his command this year, pitching poorly in the Double-A Eastern League and getting demoted back to A-ball. His combined ERA is 5.12. He has fanned 59 hitters in 77 innings, but has walked 50, entirely too many for a guy who doesn't throw hard. At age 24, he still has time to turns things around, but shouldn't be regarded as a top prospect at this point.
Bubba Crosby, OF (Dodgers to Yankees in Robin Ventura trade)
The Dodgers drafted Crosby in the first round back in 1998. The former Rice University star was supposed to be a regular outfielder by now, but his pro performance has been marred by nagging injuries and inconsistent hitting. He is having his most successful pro season this year, hitting .361 with 12 homers for Triple-A Las Vegas. He runs well and is a good defensive outfielder, but it remains to be seen how well he'll drive the ball at the major league level. Crosby is 26, and profiles best as a reserve outfielder.
Scott Proctor, RHP (Dodgers to Yankees in Ventura trade)
Like Crosby, Proctor is a product of Los Angeles' 1998 draft class. Drafted out of Florida State in the fifth round, Proctor has pitched adequately as a starting pitcher, but never obtained true prospect status and was often left off Dodger prospect lists. Converted to relief this year, Proctor has posted a 2.58 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 66 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. His fastball has been timed anywhere between 89 and 95 mph, and he has a reasonably effective slider. He is 26, and could be a middle-relief sleeper.
Anastacio Martinez, RHP (Pirates to Red Sox in Jeff Suppan trade)
Goes back to the Red Sox after coming over to the Pirates in the July 22 Scott Sauerbeck deal. Pitcher Brandon Lyon, also sent from the Red Sox to Pittsburgh in that trade, turned out to have an injured elbow, making the trade very unfair to the Pirates. To make up for this, the Pirates are returning Lyon and Martinez to the Red Sox along with Suppan, while the Sox send prospect Freddy Sanchez to the Pirates along with Mike Gonzalez, included in the Sauerbeck trade.
Freddy Sanchez, INF (Red Sox to Pirates in Suppan trade)
Drafted in the 11th round in 2000 from Oklahoma City University, Sanchez is a line-drive hitter with a proven ability to hit .300+ at the minor league level. He can possibly do that in the majors as well, while providing defensive flexibility and reliability up the middle. Sanchez hit .341 at Triple-A Pawtucket this year, but has hit just .220 in 32 major league games thus far. At 25 years old, Sanchez is capable of much better than that, and will get a chance to show his talent in Pittsburgh.
Mike Gonzalez, LHP (Red Sox to Pirates in Suppan trade)
Gonzalez goes back to Pittsburgh after spending eight days in the Red Sox organization.
Joe Valentine, RHP (Athletics to Reds in Jose Guillen trade)
Originally White Sox property, Valentine was drafted in the 26th round in 1999, from Jefferson Davis Junior College in Alabama. He saved 36 games for Double-A Birmingham last year, with a 1.96 ERA and 63/30 K/BB in 59 innings. He came to Oakland as part of the Keith Foulke/Billy Koch trade this past winter. At Triple-A Sacramento this year, Valentine had a 4.82 ERA and had struggled with his command at times, walking 37 in 52 innings, though he also has 53 strikeouts. Valentine, 23, has a 93-95 mph fastball and a savage slider. He could be a closer if he can refine his command.
Jeff Bruksch, RHP (Athletics to Reds in Guillen trade)
Oakland drafted Bruksch in the fifth round in 2001, out of Stanford, where he was a very successful reliever. His fastball is average, 87-90 mph, and his best pitch is his changeup. Bruksch hasn't had the same success as a pro as he did in college. Used as a starter in the Class A California League this year, he has a 5.13 ERA and 87/54 K/BB ratio in 126 innings, allowing 144 hits and 14 homers. Although Bruksch has good size at 6-4, 210, he doesn't throw that hard, and needs better command to survive at higher levels. He is 23 years old.
Anthony Webster, OF (White Sox to Rangers in Carl Everett trade)
One of the more interesting players in the White Sox system, Webster was drafted in the 15th round in 2001, from high school in Tennessee. Very athletic, he got on the prospect board by hitting .352 with 16 steals in the Rookie-level Appalachian League in 2002. This year he was hitting .289 with a .353 OBP for Class A Kannapolis in the South Atlantic League before being included in the trade. Webster hasn't developed much power yet, but that should come in time, and he has good strike zone judgment to go with his speed (20 steals). He needs development time, but the 20-year-old has lots of potential, and could end up being a solid player.
Josh Rupe, RHP (White Sox to Rangers in Everett trade)
The Sox drafted Rupe in the third round in '02, from Louisburg Junior College in North Carolina. Used as both a starter and reliever this year in the Sally League, Rupe has a fine 69/36 K/BB in 66 innings, to go with a 3.02 ERA. His walk rate is a bit high, but his strikeout rate is impressive, and a good sign for his future. Rupe throws 89-93 mph, has a good slider, and could end up being a solid No. 4 starter or an above-average middle reliever. He is 20 years old.
Franklin Francisco, RHP (White Sox to Rangers in Everett trade)
Originally in the Red Sox system, Francisco was traded to the White Sox in exchange for Bobby Howry last summer. He has a very good arm, with a fastball in the 92-94 mph range. Pitching for Class A Winston-Salem in the Carolina League, Francisco was 7-3 with a 3.56 ERA, with a 67/36 K/BB in 78 innings. Although his fastball is impressive, his secondary pitches need work, and his command will have to improve for him to flourish at higher levels. He struggled last year in Double-A. Francisco is from the Dominican Republic, and is 23 years old.
Phil Dumatrait, LHP (Red Sox to Reds in Scott Williamson trade)
The Red Sox continue to shed reminders of the Dan Duquette era. Dumatrait was Boston's first-round pick in 2000, from Bakersfield Junior College in California. His fastball is average, but he has a very good curveball, and can be overpowering at times. He's had problems with nagging injuries, but has stayed healthy this year, posting a 3.02 ERA in 21 games for Class A Sarasota in the Florida State League. Dumatrait's K/BB ratio is mediocre at 74/59 in 104 innings, but he's allowed just 74 hits. He may face adjustment problems in his initial exposure at higher levels, but does have upside down the road. He turned 22 years old last week, and projects as a No. 4 starter.
Jon-Mark Sprowl, C (Diamondbacks to Yankees in Raul Mondesi trade)
Sprowl was drafted by the Cubs in the 47th round in 1998, out of high school in Florida. He signed the following spring as a "draft and follow" pick, then was traded to the Diamondbacks in the spring of 2002. Sprowl has a solid bat, hitting .296 this year for Class A South Bend, with a .402 on-base percentage. He is a sound left-handed line-drive hitter who doesn't have tons of power, but does a good job controlling the strike zone and getting on base. Sprowl's defense behind home plate is shaky, and he may have to switch positions eventually. Sprowl is 22, and is the son of former major league pitcher Bobby Sprowl.
Doug Nickle, RHP (Angels to White Sox in Scott Schoeneweis trade)
A Triple-A veteran, Nickle was originally drafted by the Angels back in 1997, from the University of California. Traded to the Phillies in 1998, then to the Cardinals in 2002, he re-signed with the Angels as a free agent last winter. Before this trade, he had a 1.48 ERA and 23/18 K/BB ratio in 49 innings at Triple-A Salt Lake. Nickle has proven he can handle Triple-A hitters, but has yet to be given a full trial in a major league bullpen. He works with a 89-92 mph fastball and a knucklecurve. At 28 years old, he projects as a middle reliever.
Scott Dunn, RHP (White Sox to Angels in Schoeneweis trade)
I first wrote about Dunn earlier this month when he was traded to the White Sox from the Reds in the D'Angelo Jimenez trade. He has a good arm and a decent track record. His combined numbers in Double-A this year show him with a 3.35 ERA and a 68/21 K/BB in 51 innings. He may get an opportunity in Anaheim sooner than he would have in Chicago.
Tim Bittner, LHP (White Sox to Angels in Schoeneweis trade)
The White Sox drafted Bittner in the 10th round in 2001, out of Marist College. A typical soft-tossing lefty, Bittner's fastball is average at 86-89 mph. He does have a decent slider, and has proven he can handle the A-ball level, with a 3.54 ERA at two Class A levels this year. You need to see what he does at higher levels before you know exactly how he will project. Bittner is 23 years old, and projects best as a reliever.
Jeremy Hill, RHP (Royals to Mets in Graeme Lloyd trade)
The Royals drafted Hill in the sixth round in 1996, out of high school in Texas. A former catcher, he was converted to pitching two years ago. Hill had an excellent season in Double-A last year, but had severe problems with his command and control this spring. He posted a poor 7.44 ERA with a lousy 41/42 K/BB ratio in 40 innings for Triple-A Omaha this year, and was recently demoted back to Double-A to try and get things back in gear. At his best, Hill combines a 92-95 mph fastball with a hard slider, and can be very overpowering. His mechanics are currently fouled up, his confidence is down, and the change of scenery will probably help him. Hill is 25 years old.
Kenny Kelly, OF (Mariners to Mets in Rey Sanchez trade)
Originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the second round in 1997, Kelly is a great athlete who played quarterback at the University of Miami in the mid-1990s. He's never been able to fully translate his athletic tools into baseball skills however. Tampa sold him to the Mariners in 2001, but Seattle hasn't been able to get much out of him, either. Kelly does have 13 homers and 20 steals at Triple-A Tacoma this year, but was hitting just .246, and continues to struggle with the strike zone. Age 24, he projects as a reserve outfielder unless he makes significant progress refining his skills.
Matt Bruback, RHP (Cubs to Pirates in Aramis Ramirez/Kenny Lofton trade)
The Cubs drafted Bruback in the 47th round in 1997, out of high school in Texas. He opted for junior college in Florida, then signed as a "draft and follow" pick in May of '98. He has made slow but steady progress through the farm system, pitching at Triple-A Iowa this year. He has a 3.96 ERA overall at Iowa, with a decent 90/33 K/BB mark in 125 innings. Bruback has pitched better recently after a slow start; his ERA since June 1 is 2.76. He works with a 90-mph fastball, a curveball, and a changeup. I've seen him twice this year for Iowa, and was impressed with his breaking ball in both games, though his command of it was erratic at times. The 24-year-old could end up being a solid No. 4 starter.
Anastacio Martinez, RHP (Red Sox to Pirates in Scott Sauerbeck/Brandon Lyon trade)
Martinez was signed by the Red Sox out of the Dominican Republic in 1998. He has one of the best arms in the system, with a 93-95 mph fastball, but his career has been slowed by problems throwing strikes. He moved from the rotation into the bullpen this year, and he's done better as a reliever, posting a 2.25 ERA at Double-A Portland to go with 14 saves. He has fanned 37 hitters in 40 innings, a solid mark, but has also walked 23, too many. He has a lot of raw ability, but Martinez, 24, still needs to make strides with his command and control. I wouldn't expect him to be ready until some time next year.
Mike Gonzalez, LHP (Pirates to Red Sox in Sauerbeck/Lyon trade)
The Pirates drafted Gonzalez in the 30th round in 1997, out of junior college in Texas. He's been clocked as high as 94 mph, though 89-92 is more usual. He has a very good breaking ball, and is tough on left-handed hitters, making him a potentially solid short reliever out of the bullpen. Gonzalez has been bothered by a sore back this year, and has pitched just 21 innings at three levels. He could take over a bullpen slot for the Red Sox by early next year. The Texan is 25 years old.
Ryan Ludwick, OF (Rangers to Indians in Ricardo Rodriguez/Shane Spencer trade)
Originally drafted by Oakland in the second round in 1999, Ludwick, a UNLV product, is a power-hitting outfielder. He has decent plate discipline, but his swing is inconsistent, and while he has a lot of raw power, his batting average and on-base percentages may fluctuate. He hit .303/.372 OBP/.558 SLG this year at Triple-A Oklahoma in 81 games, but has yet to make the adjustment to major league pitching. Ludwick is a solid defensive outfielder, so he isn't just a one-dimensional bat. He could hit anywhere from .220 to .280 at the major league level, and would likely exceed 20 homers in a full season of play. He is 25 years old.
Frank Brooks, LHP (Phillies to Pirates in Mike Williams trade)
The Phillies drafted Brooks in the 13th round in 1999, from St. Peter's College. He is your standard finesse lefty: his fastball is mediocre, but he has good breaking stuff and solid control. His track record has been nothing special, but he is pitching very well this year, with a 2.30 ERA and nine saves at Double-A Reading. His K/BB and K/IP marks are very strong, with 71 strikeouts and just 13 walks this year in 59 innings. He has held lefties to a .222 batting average this year, righties to a .182 mark. Brooks, 24, could get a shot as a middle reliever in the Pirates pen next year.
Jason Anderson, RHP (Yankees to Mets in Armando Benitez trade)
Anderson was drafted in the 10th round from the University of Illinois in 2000. A starter initially, he moved to the bullpen in '02, and gained several mph on his fastball to emerge as a very interesting prospect. He's been bouncing between the majors and Triple-A Columbus this year. Anderson has greater diversity in his arsenal than many relievers, featuring a slider, a cut fastball, and a decent changeup to go with the 90-95 mph heater. If he can develop consistent command in the majors, he'd make an excellent middle reliever.
Anderson Garcia, RHP (Yankees to Mets in Benitez trade)
A Dominican signed in 2001, Garcia has one of the best power arms in the Yankees system, capable of hitting 95 mph. He doesn't have a breaking ball, and does not change speeds well at this point, but so far he's done well in A-ball, with a 3.32 ERA and 62/36 K/BB in 76 innings for Battle Creek in the Class A Midwest League. Garcia is being used as a starter, but could end up in the bullpen eventually if he doesn't learn a changeup. His command needs work, but he has a lot of potential, although at 22 he isn't young for the Midwest League. I would rate him as a Grade C+ prospect.
Ryan Bicondoa, RHP (Yankees to Mets in Benitez trade)
Bicondoa was a successful pitcher at Western Kentucky University. Signed as a free agent by the Yankees last May (he was a fifth-year senior and thus eligible to sign before the draft), Bicondoa posted a 1.90 ERA and 94/7 K/BB ratio in the New York-Penn League last summer. He has been less successful this year, with a 3.54 ERA and 30/20 K/BB in 48 innings for Tampa in the Class A Florida State League. Bicondoa's stuff is average; his fastball is mediocre, but he has a very good changeup, and his control is usually good. He'll have to prove himself at higher levels, and is a Grade C prospect at this point.
Victor Diaz, 2B (Dodgers to Mets in Jeromy Burnitz trade)
Diaz was drafted in the 37th round in 2000, out of Grayson County JC in Texas. A right-handed hitter with a quick bat, he entered 2003 with a .320 career batting average, and was hitting .291/.353 OBP/.462 SLG at Double-A Jacksonville before the trade. Diaz has line-drive power, and obviously hits for average. He could use better patience at the plate, but he runs pretty well for a big guy. His defense at second base is erratic, and some scouts think he'll end up at first base or the outfield in the long run. He is 21 years old.
Joselo Diaz, RHP (Dodgers to Mets in Burnitz trade)
A 23-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic, Joselo Diaz played under the name "Jose Diaz" in previous seasons, and was a catcher until this year. He has a very strong arm, but couldn't hit, so moving him to the mound made sense. Used as a starter this year at Class A Vero Beach, Diaz has a 3.50 ERA in 62 innings, with 69 strikeouts but 48 walks. He throws very hard, and limited right-handed hitters to a .127 average this year. Diaz will have to improve his control, but so far his pitching career is off to a decent start.
Kole Strayhorn, RHP (Dodgers to Mets in Burnitz trade)
The Dodgers drafted Strayhorn in the second round in 2001, from high school in Shawnee, Okla. Clocked in the mid-90s in high school, he's been in the 90-92 range more often as a pro. He has a very good breaking ball to go with the fastball. Used as a closer this year at Class A Vero Beach, Strayhorn is 5-2 with seven saves and a 2.93 ERA. His K/BB of 44/13 in 46 innings is solid, and he's shown a good balance of stuff and command.
Adrian Gonzalez, 1B (Marlins to Rangers in Ugueth Urbina trade)
The first player picked in the 2000 draft, out of high school in California, Gonzalez's pro performance has been acceptable, though not outstanding on the surface. He hit .266 with 17 homers in Double-A last year, OK but not terrific. This is misleading, as he's been one of the youngest players in his league every year, and most scouts have no doubt he'll hit. He has a smooth stroke, untapped power potential, and excellent defensive ability. He hit just .216 through 40 games in Triple-A this year, but has been hampered by a wrist injury, and has played better lately. He'll need a year to be ready for the majors, but there is still a lot to like here.
Will Smith, OF (Marlins to Rangers in Urbina trade)
A sixth-round pick out of high school in Arizona in 2000, Smith has been quite successful as a pro, showing a consistent ability to hit for average and knock balls into the gaps. He has an unusual batting stance that turns some scouts off, but it works for him. He broke a bone in his wrist in April, and like Gonzalez that has inhibited his production this year. Smith needs experience and refinement, but his career batting average is .300 and he is still just 21. Like Gonzalez, he's a year away and needs to heal his wrist.
Ryan Snare, LHP (Marlins to Rangers in Urbina trade)
Snare was involved in a trade last summer, going from the Reds to the Marlins for Ryan Dempster. He was originally drafted by Cincinnati in the second round in 2000. He does not have a blazing fastball, hitting 87-88 most days, but his breaking ball is very sharp, and he knows how to use it. He has a 3.67 ERA in Double-A this year with a 77/37 K/BB in 103 innings. He projects as a solid fourth starter type, or perhaps an anti-lefty middle reliever.
Scott Dunn, RHP (Reds to White Sox in D'Angelo Jimenez trade)
The Reds drafted Dunn in 1999, a 10th-round pick from the University of Texas. He hasn't received much attention, but his pro track record is pretty good. He throws 90-92 mph, has a solid curveball, and usually throws strikes. He had a 3.79 ERA with 54 strikeouts in 40 innings this year at Double-A Chattanooga. I've had him on my sleeper list for a couple of years, and the change of organizations may help people see him in a new light. He could be an impressive middle reliever.
Alejandro Machado, INF (Royals to Brewers in Curtis Leskanic trade)
Machado, from Venezuela, was originally a Braves prospect, but was traded to the Royals in '01 for Rey Sanchez. Just 21, he is a slick-fielding middle infielder who can handle second base and shortstop. He was hitting .286 at Double-A Wichita, but doesn't have much power, and the Royals no longer projected him as a future regular. His glove and ability to hit for average should get him a bench job eventually.
Wes Obermueller, RHP (Royals to Brewers in Leskanic trade)
The Royals drafted Obermueller in the second round in 1999 from the University of Iowa. Arm injuries cost him much of the '00 and '01 campaigns, reduced his velocity, and slowed his development. He still has a 90 mph fastball and a good slider, but has problems with consistency and command. Used as a starter for the most part so far, he is probably better-suited for a middle relief role.
Royce Ring, LHP (White Sox to Mets in Roberto Alomar trade)
Ring was drafted by the White Sox in the first round in 2002, out of San Diego State. Ring's fastball has been clocked as high as 96 mph, though 89-93 readings are more usual. He has a sharp breaking ball that keeps left-handed hitters off-balance, and he has a changeup that's good enough to use against right-handers. Although he is a southpaw, he does well enough against righties to be a regular closer. He's perhaps a half-year away from being ready to substantially help in the majors, although a rebuilding team like the Mets could push him to The Show more quickly than that. Overall, Ring is one of the most promising relief prospects in the minors today.
Edwin Almonte, RHP (White Sox to Mets in Alomar trade)
Almonte was drafted in the 26th round in 1998, from St. Francis (N.Y.) College. He saved 26 games in Triple-A in 2002, with a 2.24 ERA, but has struggled this year, with a 6.68 ERA and a sharp drop in his strikeout rate. His fastball is mediocre, 87-89 mph, but when he is sharp he can get people out by changing speeds very well. He projects as a middle reliever down the road, provided he can fix whatever is bothering him this year.
Andrew Salvo, INF (White Sox to Mets in Alomar trade)
Salvo is a University of Delaware product, drafted in the 22nd round in 2001. A left-handed hitter, he can play second base or third base, and his versatility is his best skill. He is willing to take a walk, but lacks power and hasn't hit for much of an average. At this point, he looks like just an "organization player," a useful roster-filler.

I can't write a blog post summarizing the Habs' season or their playoff round against the Bruins without simply repeating what has already been so aptly stated by The Active Stick, The H Does Not Stand For Habs, Hey, My Name is Will, All Habs, Cowhide and Rubber, and countless more.
Here go my thoughts, trying hard not to be repetitive:
- The Habs lost a hard battle against the Bruins and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. You may think it's bitter of me to say, but I believe the better team lost, the classier team lost, the team that deserved to win lost, and the refs missed too many blatant calls against the bad guys, which contributed to ultimately losing out to the classless Bruins.
- Again, you have permission to call me bitter, and you probably wouldn't be incorrect, but that does not mean that I am incorrect.
- Max Pacioretty, that prince of a young man, forgives Chara for breaking his neck, giving him a concussion and ending his season, so I guess I have to, also.
- That doesn't mean I have to forgive Ference for a cowardly "unintentional" bird gestured to the Bell Centre faithful (didn't even have the stones to own up to it later), and a gutless last-second impeccably-timed shoulder shrug administering a headshot to Halpern that looked like a carbon copy of the hit that put Crosby out for 4 months – which he also later denied, but upon reviewing the replay was obviously intentional and dirty. A mom knows. Mr. Ference knew exactly what he was doing. The creep meant it, knew what he did, and skated away pretending to know nothing. Again, denied it.
- I don't have to forgive the NHL for once again refusing to suspend a filthy hit delivered by a Bruin. Such a coinky-dink how they agreed with Mr. Ference's version of events.
- I also don't have to forgive Tim Thomas, Vezina candidate and whom I previously thought was probably an all-right guy, for jumping on the trash-talking bandwagon and picking on P.K. Subban on Boston radio the day after barely managing to eliminate the Habs in Round 1. It's almost like he knew he had to be obnoxious to mask the fact that deep down he knew the better team lost. I mean – why else pick on the loser. As I mentioned on Twitter, shame on his mother for raising a son with such bad manners. As I always tell my kids, part of sports is winning gracefully.
- My own mother always attributes anything good that happens in my life to acts from the beyond of my beloved deceased grandparents. Any time I or my kids have particularly good fortune, which we have had a lot of lately (Habs aside), she says, "they did this. They are watching. They knew you needed them."
- I consider sending a shout out to my grandparents to visit some particular bad fortune on the likes of Messrs. Ference and Thomas to ultimately be a good deed. So, Abuelos, if you're listening. I'd throw in Chara but I'm following Max's lead and crossing him off my hate list. I'd also throw in Lucic, but he's been such a useless non-factor.
- What the hell, throw in Lucic anyway. Abuelos?
- Huh. It's been 2 days since the elimination, and I am not over it.
- What will help me get over it will be watching the Flyers decimate the Bruins in round 2. I will, like The Active Stick, temporarily not hate the Flyers and will enjoy, nay, REVEL, nay, LUXURIATE in the Bruins' quick elimination and hopefully get to see the Flyers deliver the Bruins' own medicine and then some to them. Richards, you know what to do, and you do it so well. You too, Carcillo.
- So, go Flyers! Just for this round.
- I'm cheering for the Canucks now, too. Too many people I care about too much like Vancouver too much for me to do any different. I seldom if ever watch Western Conference hockey though, and it's just so weird for me. Besides the famous-famouses, I don't really know anybody. I have to do my homework. Oooh, but last night I saw the Nashville goalie without his mask on. Pekka Rinne, I dub thee Cutie McHandsome. This will be a fun series.
- Would you believe that for 2.6 seconds this morning, I made a mental note to contact my local Habs fans to get together to watch the game this weekeNO WAIT THERE IS NO GAME THIS WEEKEND. That was brutal.
- I can't allow myself to think about this time last year. We still had Habs hockey to look forward to. Yeah no, I can't think about that. Also, I still can't bring myself to ask, "is it October yet?" I haven't finished processing, obviously, that we're not seeing our boys again until then.
- Still, this was cathartic.
- I was going to write about other stuff too, but I think this is good for today. Back to the usual off-season topics next time.
- I won't be wearing my cranky pants for my next post.
Thanks for reading and putting up with me being a negative Nancy. All positivity and sunshine next time.
Have a terrific weekend!

|Tale of Tales
|From the makers of the experimental games The Graveyard and The Path comes this interactive vignette in realtime 3D inspired by the story of Salome. Explore a living tableau filled with references to the legendary tale and enjoy the moonlit serenity of a fatal night in the orient. Fatale offers an experimental play experience that stimulates the imagination and encourages multiple interpretations and personal associations. Salome is a first century Judean princess mentioned in the Christian Bible by Matthew and by Mark. But it is Oscar Wilde's 19th century play "Salome" that really inspired Fatale. In the Bible, Salome is a child who dances for King Herod and asks the head of John the Baptist as a reward. In Wilde's version, Salome falls in love with the prophet. He rejects her and she has him executed. The play ends with her kissing the lips of his decapitated head. Most of Fatale takes place in the aftermath of this event, when all has turned quiet and the moon brings comfort to troubled hearts.

I have Windows server 2008 with MS SQL Server 2008 R2 standard edition.
On Windows server I created a local group and added domain users into it.
On SQL server I create a login mapped into the windows group.
For this login I created user mappings for several databases with public roles.
Each databases table has grant to select for public role.
The problem is the domain users can select data from all tables except one database.
I compared setting for all databases. They are the same.
Is it a way to check security setting like I can check a database consistency using DBCC CHECKDB or something?
After using "SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions ('Accounts', 'OBJECT') ORDER BY subentity_name, permission_name;" the problem disappeared. I used a lot of other functions to check the security settings (e.g. sp_helpuser, sp_helprolemember), so I am not sure which one really helped.
Anyway somehow the problem got fixed.

Two in one baby! Some of our favorite ways (and things on our bucket list!) to make this summer not only fun but a whole lot cooler too! (All images are linked!)
Starting with this great idea to cool kids off and keep them busy! I am making this asap this week and might add in a bunch of different food colors throughout the ice to make it even more fun! This one would be perfect in the tub or pool!
This is on our list tomorrow! We have craft sticks and watermelon. I can't wait!
My toddler would go nuts over this idea. We are getting some jello tomorrow for this week!
I've been on a salad kick lately, but I sometimes want out of the typical salad rut. This is a cool & delicious way to do just that!
I wish I could take credit for this idea. It's ingenious!
But, if you want something easy peasy, head over to your local drug store and get yourself this awesome sprinkler! Dude, it's an elephant with a trunk! You can wind it however you want and adjust the spray depending on how water-loving your kids are. Our boys LOVE it for so many things, including as a car & bike wash! Best $9.99 ever spent!!
This one we made at our MOPS group and it was a bit hit! Super easy- raw sugar + coconut oil + lime juice=amazing scrub!! Use it on your feet for a great exfoliating treat.
I'm saving the best for last here. It's one of my favorite "secret" summer drink recipes. It is so good- blueberry mint limeade. Refreshing and tasty perfection.
Linking up here. Happy Sunday! What cool summer things are on your list (or are favorite things you love?)

Francesca's painting technique consists of layering water colour and gouache in thin washes to create depth, detail and colour.
This method is time consuming but reflects her appreciation of traditional, wholly hand done illustration techniques. She aims to create pieces which evoke a sense of the old world combined with the familiarity and timelessness of nature and family.
The joy of finding old unloved, unused furniture and transforming it into something beautiful and original lies at the heart of Francesca's interior design ethos. For environmental and aesthetic purposes, In a time of mass production and uniformity, recycling what is already there, creates truly original and heartfelt homes and interiors.
(Francesca was chosen to appear on BBC 2's The Great Interior Design Challenge which airs on the 28th of October 2014).
Francesca began making soft toys when her eldest son drew a picture of an elephant with a Hawaiian print top and polka dot trousers and asked her to make what he had drawn. Many drawings and animal creations followed - all made using old, unwanted, worn out clothes and stuffed with natural/untreated sheep's wool. She now takes commissions based on other children's drawings.
The dolls are made with vintage and antique silk and lace clothing. Their faces are modelled using light weight clay with hand painted features. They can be commissioned for wedding cakes, Christmas trees, or as ornaments for a child's room or mantelpiece.
Francesca hand sews the cushion covers from antique and vintage bed sheets and table cloths and then paints onto them, freehand, using textile paints.

Bring Nurses Back to Austin ISD Elementary Schools
This petition had 2,070 supporters
Since returning to school this fall, AISD (Austin Independent School District) parents and students discovered there had been an extreme change to nursing staff. In an apparent effort to save money, AISD has removed Registered Nurses from campuses replacing them with SHAs (Student Health Advisers) connected via computer terminal and video chat to a Registered Nurse. This leaves a deficit in knowledge, capability and care for our students, including medically fragile students. Students with chronic conditions (as many as 27% of school-age children**) such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, seizure disorders, severe allergies and medication needs are now being managed by school staff without appropriate credentials. A SHA only needs to have a high school diploma and 6 months medical training.
This is very unsafe policy change and the children of Austin deserve better. We are fighting for our students and demand that a ratio* of 1 Registered Nurse to a maximum of 750 students be restored.
When students are healthy, attendance is up, academic success is up. When students are well cared for, unnecessary strains aren't added to our city's health infrastructure, parents take less unpaid leave and lastly a school district's liability lessens.
This change is particularly damaging to the elementary school population which it affects the most. Children as young as 4 and up to age 12 attend AISD elementary schools. Many children in this age group may not be able to adequately voice their health concerns. One child's "ear itch" is an ear infection and another's is the beginning of a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction requiring immediate medical action. Video conferencing an actual Registered Nurse may cost valuable minutes that could dangerously change the result in an emergency situation. A SHA simply does not have the experience necessary to make these often life-changing decisions.
All stakeholders: parents, students, and teachers win when schools have adequate coverage with certified school nurses. Sick and injured children are cared for. Teachers can teach when a student gets sick. Parents don't get called to school unnecessarily, 911 system is not abused wasting taxpayer dollars. Hospital emergency departments are not unduly burdened.
Please consider signing this petition to bring AISD to the recommended Registered Nurse to student ratio*.
*This ratio followed the recommendation of National Association of School Nurses (NASN) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

UIC TA Handbook - Three Types of Professors and How to Work with Them
By Leo Schelbert
Professor Emeritus, History
UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Once the assignment has been made, a TA needs to get to know and understand the person with whom he or she is to work closely for a semester. As in every other walk of life, personalities differ and compatibility is a gilt rather than something one should assume. Perhaps three main types of professors may be distinguished, each of whom will demand a different response from a TA and will shape a different experience.
The first kind of professor might be called the "busy" type. Such a person is likely to view the TA as primarily a helper, as someone who will free the professor for his or her own work, that is research and scholarly writing. The TA may be expected to do the bulk of the work for a course, grading and leading discussion and review sessions. In one case such a professor gave a midterm examination to a class of some hundred students on a Friday and demanded that the TA grade them by following midweek, although the student had to take the comprehensive examinations for an advanced degree that very week. The professor would not hear of any delay. In such a relationship a TA must try to understand the professor's expectations and know that quiet cooperation will be a most valued attitude. The busy professor type -- often hard-working, successful, and immersed in a demanding scholarly project -- will greatly appreciate it if all goes smoothly with the course, if consultations are kept to a minimum, and if students stay content and away from the professor s office. If there are problems, the TA may find it wise to consult not with the professor assigned, but with a trusted, discreet, experienced and accessible faculty member. Seasoned TAs will also be a valuable resource and will be able to direct a colleague to the right door. By recognizing the expectations of the busy professor type, a TA may truly enjoy the freedom and trust that often characterizes this relationship.
The second kind of professor might be called the controller type. He or she will view the TA mainly as a learner, as someone to be supervised, guided, and molded in the professor's image. A TA is expected to submit outlines for discussion sessions, to have the graded papers examined, and her or his judgment challenged, even if the TA is an experienced and mature teacher and grader. A lecture given may be harshly (and perhaps quite unfairly) critiqued if it does not conform to the professor's personal style, sensibility, or outlook. This kind of professor will at times confuse accidental compatibility with talent and skill: the more a TA' s performance differs from her or his approach or ideology, the harsher it will be criticized as inadequate or inept, although it may be perfectly valid and legitimate. In such a relationship a TA needs to remain self-confident, must sort out what may derive from difference and what indeed may be inadequacy. He or she may learn much from such an experience about the many facets of the craft of teaching and, above all, may hone the skills of diplomacy, flexibility, and tolerance, all which are desirable traits once a person joins a department as a junior colleague. If problems emerge and the need for discussion arises in order to gain perspective, it will be advisable not to approach the professor directly, but again seek out a trusted, discreet, and accessible person in the department who can be of help in sorting out the issues involved and in regaining a quiet inner confidence on the basis of understanding rather than negative critique.
The third kind of professor may be called the collegial type. For such a person the TA is above all a future colleague and a person who will bring fresh and unique perspectives to the classroom which often will complement rather than duplicate the professor's stance. The TA is expected to be primarily not a helper, but an observer, someone who will assess the professor's style and approach in relation to her or his own values and perspectives. An example of this can be found in the question of lateness in assignments: some will stress the imparting of disciplined planning -- indeed a valuable trait in professional life -- and thus be unbending, taking off points from a student's work for not being prompt or even refusing a paper after the due date. Others will view the students as struggling young adults, who often carry heavy responsibilities and face numerous obstacles in their personal life, and thus accept their late assignments with minimal ado. Both approaches are defensible. A TA may prefer one approach over the other and freely discuss the matter with the collegial professor how he or she sees this or any other issue. This kind of professor will expect dedicated and reliable cooperation, will be ready to listen to suggestions, will allow a TA to experiment with alternate methods, and discuss problems as they arise in a spirit of exploration rather than authority. Creative independence deriving from a genuine commitment to students and the challenge of teaching will be most highly prized by such a professor.
Of course, the types sketched above rarely exist in pure form. Yet it seems certain that the more a TA becomes conscious of a professor's general make-up and attitude, the more he or she can adapt and gain insight into the numerous paths one may take toward an educational goal.

Do you spy a blue ghost chair, David Hicks La Fiorentina pillow and I believe Alan Campbell's zig zag fabric on the chair? I do!! Hope you enjoyed her portfolio as much I did!! To see more, go here.

The Science & Theatre Magic Program is a collaborative
effort involving adults, teenagers, and young children.
The adults mentor teenage students who, in turn, prepare
and deliver magical lessons to younger children from Philadelphia.
We are looking to enroll a group of creative and talented
13-17 year olds who have an interest in the arts and sciences.
Over the course of the three week summer program, these students
will research, create, plan, and develop their own magical
performance which will be presented in the final week.
The Science & Theatre Magic Program is an opportunity unlike any other.
If you participate, you will be:
The Science & Theatre Magic Program is a PIVOTS
(Peer Interdisciplinary Volunteer Outreach with Theatre and Science) Project initiative.

Oksa thinks she is a totally ordinary 13-year-old schoolgirl... but, in fact, she has amazing magical powers. And she doesn't know anything about these magical powers until the day her true origins are revealed to her by her grandmother. Oksa's adventures start when she moves, with her parents and her Baba (grandmother), from Paris to London. Her best friend, Gus, also moves to London at the same time as Oksa because their fathers (both chefs) want to continue working together in the same restaurant.
Oksa and Gus start secondary school together and, on their first day, meet a bizarre maths and physics teacher called Mr McGraw. After a difficult lesson with him, Oksa detests Mr McGraw and she returns home from school feeling upset. And then strange things start happening... a ball of flames appears in the palm of her hand which sets her doll on fire... and then she starts to fly around the room, but doesn't know how or why!
Oksa confides in her grandmother about these weird events and her grandmother is forced to explain everything to Oksa. She and her family are not from Earth - they actually come from a parallel world called Edefia. They're trying to get back to Edefia, but the only person who has the magical powers to achieve this is Oksa.
Will Oksa manage to find the correct path back to Edefia for her family? And who is the creepy Mr McGraw?
The Oksa Pollock books are available to read in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Polish, Swedish... but not yet in English! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to become "Pollockmaniaks", especially as there's a film due out in 2012 or 2013. Meanwhile, you can read about Oksa in English here and watch a subtitled video about the book, which features the authors, Anne Plichota and Cendrine Wolf.
So when "Pollockmania" arrives in the UK, remember you read about it here first!
