Then the second-deadliest shooting in American history occurred, when a gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., and shot and killed 27 people, most of them children.
In the ensuing days, Russellville students discussed the shootings in their classes, and Hocker's class was no different. Both Hocker and her students felt the same as millions of Americans across the nation — helplessness, coupled with a desire to help.
"I wish I could do something," one student said.
And then Hocker had an idea.
"I asked them if they would like to create a card to express their feelings," she said. "And then response was unanimous."
Hocker scheduled a day to work in the computer lab, and the class found an opportunity to take a class project and make it meaningful, for both them and a community of people they've never met.
"It's a form of release," Hocker said. "They can't understand this, and they don't know why it happened, but to say 'I'm sorry' to someone is a small measure of healing."
Hocker, whose 105 students all made cards, sent them to Newtown during the Christmas break. With the grieving elementary school inundated with gifts expressing consolation — Associated Press reports stated a 20,000-square-foot warehouse in Newtown serving as a donation center was packed wall-to-wall with toys — it's unlikely Hocker or her students will receive a letter in return, at least not anytime soon.
But the gratification from the experience has been worth it all the same.
"I was very moved by the compassion and expressions of sympathy," Hocker said. "It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever experienced as a teacher."
Hocker made copies of the letters, which are showcased on a bulletin board at the school. The cards are posted in front of a background containing white paper bordered by green trim, which represent Sandy Hook's school colors.
One student, who is an identical twin, wrote about Noah Pozner, a twin who was a victim of the shootings.
"I saw about the twins on the news," the card read. "I am very sorry about all your losses, and I wish this never had happened to the children."
The front of one card reads, "Praying for you guys!" above a picture of an array of votive candles.
"I cannot even begin to say how sorry I am for your loss for those words seem inadequate," another card reads. "But please know through these trying times a nation's thoughts and prayers of peace and love are with you."
Hocker said students frequently stop to read the cards on the board.
"The cards on the bulletin board serve as a reminder of the tragedy and the lives lost on that terrible day," she said.

Computers have come a long way over the past few years. They have become faster, smaller, and more efficient when it comes to energy utilization.
The Best Computer Under $500
Here is some helpful information to find the best computer under $500. The average price of a personal computer is somewhere in the neighborhood of $1300, according to CNET.com. That's a rather hefty chunk of change, especially if you're a recent high school or college graduate and don't have a sizable bank account (who does in this economy?). Even spending …

In a few weeks time I will need to travel from Wrexham to Beaconsfield (M40).
Date of travel will be 20th July, will the school holidays have started on that date?
I have made this trip previously, but there are so many alternative routes through the midlands. There are frequent hold-ups with accidents and road works.
Can anyone please suggest their preferred route.
Here is the route that I am thinking of at the moment: Wrexham to A483 Southbound, A5, M54, M6 South, then join M5, Exit M5 at Junction 4A onto M42, then take M40 all the way to Beaconsfield.

Ortiz doing separate running program
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As part of the master plan to be conservative during the early weeks of Spring Training, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz isn't participating in team baserunning or conditioning drills yet. But he's doing his own agility work with the trainers and looks comfortable moving around.
"They are specific to his protocol," said manager John Farrell. "He feels not only that he's getting stronger, but with each passing day, there's less hesitancy to be a little bit more agile, a little bit more explosive. So I know that's a relative statement, but he's making good progress."
During batting practice, Ortiz certainly appeared comfortable, hitting bullets all over the field.
Middlebrooks showing no ill effects of broken wrist
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The best way to gauge how well Will Middlebrooks has recovered from his right wrist fracture of last August is to listen to him take a round of batting practice.
"There's no limitations at all," said manager John Farrell. "When you see him take BP, the sound off his bat is different than most guys, even in this camp. He's fully healed from the fracture."
Middlebrooks doesn't even think about his wrist anymore. Instead, he's just focusing on getting ready for the season.
"It was a pretty simple rehab," Middlebrooks said. "I was in a cast for eight weeks and I got out and just did some strengthening things. It's not ligaments, it's not tendons, it was bone. So it was not really a whole lot of rehab. It was just kind of a waiting game, and I'm absolutely 100 percent right now. I feel normal now. I feel as it did before I got hit."
Buchholz advances to long toss
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz has already advanced to long toss, three days after straining his right hamstring.
"Buchholz got out to 120 feet of long toss today," said manager John Farrell. "We've still got some functional running tests we've got to put him through before we turn him loose completely."
Lefty starter Felix Doubront, who was held back because of some mild shoulder weakness, will throw his first side session of camp on Wednesday. He's set to throw 135 feet during long toss.
Southpaw reliever Craig Breslow has also been on a conservative program. He threw 75 feet during his long toss on Friday.
"He's in the early phases of a throwing program," Farrell said. "As a reliever, he's got time on his side a little bit."

how about projects to become a down-to-earth city? philanthropy to help the down and outers and less fortunate. palo alto is not what it once was. get off of your high horse and address the downcast and regular people. palo alto is not shangri-la. it's just a place that is somewhere and it is somehow. wake up everyone

That Mitchell Park Library is an abomination.
It has absolutely NO connection to the park or surrounding residential neighborhood. The massing and materials of construction are totally inappropriate and should be a loud embarrassment for the Architectural Review Board.
While I can appreciate that the ARB is a volunteer board...they need to go. Let's count the community disappointments that this ARB has hoisted upon:
1. Mitchell Park Library - Disaster
2. Alma Plaza - TOTAL Disaster
3. JCC - Massive Disaster
4. "Gateway" - Horror on Alama (only second to Alma Plaza)
5. Housing at Alma/Homer
Please!Thank you for your time and effort,now please just move on.
This insane urbanization theory the ARB is enamored with is an unmitigated disaster for the City. We DON'T WANT BUILDINGS PUSHED TO THE CURB...we like our set-backs. We don't want towering slabs of stucco hanging over the street.

Love the JCC...
Please don't confuse my love and admiration for the programs and facilities housed within the project for my criticism of the ARB's roll in the project design. The JCC is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood that I regularly enjoy.
My assignment of fault is with the architecture which has created a fortress against the neighborhood. This is a direct result of this ARB insisting that he projects be pushed to the absolute edge of the property and that public space be located within the center of site.
For the JCC site this philosophy resulted in those god awful interior concrete deserts and a buildings that feel like they will fall onto Charleston or San Antonio. Its an urban fortress as uninviting and intimidating to a pedestrian as can be conceived. Epic architectural fail. Made more so by the absolutely wonderful programs and facilities it houses.
Alama Plaza stinks too. Who asked for this slab sided monstrosity to be placed right at the property line along Alma. NOT THE DEVELOPER! It is a huge insult to our pedestrian scale neighborhood and directly the result of this ARB's misguided urbanization philosophy that builds forts against the street and insists on minimal public space on the interior.
This ARB needs to retire. Please...Save Our Sidewalks!

Couldn't agree more about these new "Urban" designs -- people don't live in Palo Alto to be urban. We're a small-town suburb, with people who, for the most part, value the small town feel and a sense of neighborhood. Excessive high-density housing and lack of set-back decrease both. The large, at-the-curb projects are a fad some planners describe as "progress". They are anything but.

Regarding San Fransquito Creek the flood control effort needs to focus on cleaning out the excess vegetation from 101 West. I observed banks of dead vegetation, broken tree limbs, and in general a vegetation mess within the creek boundaries. Adobe Creek was cleaned out in autumn to improve flood control. San Fransquito Creek has a different set of problems but the creek can be cleaned up to remove excess dead vegetation. What is happening is dead vegetation is moving down from Stanford and compacting the ability to clear water. This needs to be a joint venture with Stanford since the creek is part of the border to Stanford property. Both entities have the manpower and equipment to do this job - and the city has $90K for consultants to apply to this effort. If the city is claiming that is has no budget for creek maintenance then it has no budget for consultants.

Totally with you about the setbacks and urbanization of our town. You forgot to add the school construction choices, which not only make for more urban, impersonal, larger schools, but cost a lot more for what we get.

Nora Roberts eBooks
Nora Roberts was born in Silver Spring, Maryland, the youngest of five children. After a school career that included some time in Catholic school and the disciplines of nuns, she married young and settled in Keedysville, Maryland.
Born into a family of readers, Nora had never known a time that she wasn't reading or making up stories. During the now-famous blizzard, she pulled out a pencil and notebook and began to write down one of those stories. It was there that a career was born. Several manuscripts and rejections later, her first book, Irish Thoroughbred, was published by Silhouette in 1981.
Through the years, Nora has always been surrounded by men. Not only was she the youngest in her family, but she was also the only girl. She has raised two sons. Having spent her life surrounded by men, Ms. Roberts has a fairly good view of the workings of the male mind, which is a constant delight to her readers. It was, she's been quoted as saying, a choice between figuring men out or running away screaming.
Nora is a member of several writers groups and has won countless awards from her colleagues and the publishing industry. Recently The New Yorker called her "America's favorite novelist."

The chaplains are ready to answer the call
In the guise of supporting our fitness
To breach and dismantle the church-and-state wall
And to act as a born-again witness
And the Head of the chaplains will smile and nod,
For God and for country (but mostly for God)
To protect and defend, you remember the oath,
So there's no use in getting indignant
But I think I've detected a spiritual growth
And I'm worried it might be malignant
A chaplain, who shepherds the men in his squad
For God and for country (but mostly for God)
There's no cause for worry, no need for alarm
It's only the damn constitution
And the chaplain, who's keeping your soul safe from harm
Is the problem, and not the solution
But they've been there so long it no longer seems odd
For God and for country (but mostly for God)
The problem is growing, of that there's no doubt
And the bible does not hold the answer
The simple solution—you cut it right out
Cos that's what you do with a cancer
It's a cult, once you see past the shiny façade
For God and for country (but mostly for God)
Two things. Go here and read this. And even more importantly (US Citizens only), go here and sign this. As of this writing, only

Every since then every time I watch the movie I have sighed and wondered when I'd get to see this beautiful, charming man again. Then I saw him in the trailer for Twilight. I couldn't take my eyes away from it. Honestly he is the reason I started reading the books (well him and the great movie trailer). Rob as Edward Cullen seems so natural and yet again I find myself compeltely in love haha. There is something so sexy and beautiful about him, yet unique and mysterious. The way he carries himself is intriguing. Okay, I'm done gushing now. Anyway, needless to say I am very excited to see the movie and further feed my interest for both Rob and Twilight.
Since you're so interested in all things Rob, as I am now...You should check out his songs on playlist.com, Stray Dog; I'll Be Your Lover, Too; and I Was Broken. They're performed live so it's "one take", which means there are pitch problems (not many! He's great!) and people talking in the background but I like that about these songs! The last few minutes of I Was Broken was hard to listen to at first but now, I can't get enough of it, just listening to him "get into it" makes me think dirty thoughts !!!! I'm not sure where else you can get these particular ones, they are not on iTunes. I wish he would put out an album!!! (album=CD for the younger crowd!!

Harvey outduels Nolasco, going 4 1/3 hitless innings
Mets pitching allows only two hits, strikes out nine Marlins in win
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Ricky Nolasco entered this spring as the Marlins' clear No. 1 pitcher. Matt Harvey reported to camp hoping to develop into a top-of-the-rotation starter for the Mets.
Both of them looked like aces on Thursday.
Harvey fired 4 1/3 perfect innings in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Marlins, while Nolasco struck out six over 3 2/3 innings at Tradition Field.
"I was just getting the work done," Harvey said. "I tried to throw as many strikes as I could and get as many outs as I could, and [the defense] made all the plays."
Nolasco nearly matched Harvey into the fourth. He gave up three hits and an unearned run on Anthony Recker's RBI single in the second. The Mets later padded their lead on outfielder Matt den Dekker's solo homer in the fifth off reliever Mitch Talbot to make it 2-0.
Andrew Brown's RBI double and Justin Turner's run-scoring single in the sixth, both off Talbot, made it 4-0.
The only baserunner against Harvey came courtesy of shortstop Omar Quintanilla's fielding error in the third. Other than that, Harvey was perfect, striking out five batters and pitching into the fifth. He has now struck out 12 batters over nine spring innings, sporting a 2.00 ERA.
Carrying a heart monitor in his back pocket, Pedro Feliciano relieved Harvey and retired the only two batters he faced in the fifth. Feliciano had not appeared in a Grapefruit League game since doctors diagnosed him earlier this month with left ventricular noncompaction, a rare genetic heart disease.
The Marlins got on the board on J.T. Realmuto's solo homer off Greg Burke with two outs in the ninth.
Chris Valaika drove a ball deep to left in the seventh, but the Mets' Jamie Hoffmann leaped above the wall to rob him of a homer.
Up next: Don't expect many veterans to ride the bus when the Mets take one of their longest road trips of the spring, traveling to Lakeland, Fla., for a 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Tigers on Friday. Dillon Gee will start for the Mets opposite Max Scherzer, with Bobby Parnell and LaTroy Hawkins expected to pitch in relief. Gee will be making his second big league outing since undergoing emergency surgery to repair artery damage in his shoulder last July. The game can be heard live on Gameday Audio.

Discussion in 'Star Trek: Voyager' started by Caprica_Six, Apr 16, 2005.
Welcome newbies.
I am quite excited to find this forum. I am coming to Voyager from the movies first and then TNG. TNG is a tough act to follow but I have really enjoyed the first 5 episodes of VOY and future discussions on this forum.
Looking forward to discussing some of those future episodes with you!
Welcome to the Voyager forum, where we're not quite sure what timeline we're in anymore.
Glad to be a part of a great show, I'm Keith1701, I'll be 51 this month, and I'm glad to be part of this group of fans.
Hi all, I just found this forum while googling a couple minor thoughts about the show, and found a forum dedicated to folks sharing their nitpicks and thoughts!
Have been a fan since TNG first-runs, watched all of Voyager, and caught as much of DS9 as I could when it first-ran (it came on at midnight where I lived!). Now that Netflix has the series', I've already watched every episode of TNG and am now up to the start of season 3 of Voyager. Just biding my time until DS9 finally gets added to the collection!
I just finished voyager and I thought it was good. I too started watching after TNG and I didn't think it would be any good compared to it but I was wrong. Voyager is a great series.
You could say I've reformed my opinion on Voyager.
I used to slot in my bottom 2-- just ahead of Enterprise-- but in the last few months the wife (who missed all but the 7th season) has been picking up the DVD sets on deep-discount and we've been working through the series. I guess that fact I haven't watched it since the finale aired must have mellowed me cause it's not as bad as I used to think it was. It actually works pretty good for a side story to the be "main events" in DS9 and the TNG movies of the time.
Am going through Voyager currently, it being the Trek series I was least familiar with for a while. Might make a run through Enterprise as well later.
Welcome to the Voyager forum, where the Kate Mulgrew gossip is the only thing that goes faster than warp 10.
Hi everyone. I'm new to the Voyager forum, but I've seen all the VOY seasons at least four times through. I have a special soft spot for VOY, and even though I like DS9 a bit more, I still love VOY. VOY is what TNG should have been, and season 1 of VOY didn't have those teething pains...
Welcome to the Voyager forum, where you're not a true fan unless you've seen all the episodes at least four times. You pass, congratulations
Welcome Ln X.
Hello All,
Every time I google Voyager or Robert Beltran It leads me here, so I thought I might as well join! I just finished watching the series (My first time) and am feeling sad that it's over!!
Welcome to the Voyager forum, where it's never over (unless you're a Janeway fan who reads the continuation novels)
Welcome Mamascatz.
Voyager is what TNG should have been? Not sure how that logic works but ok.
Oh great, another one who googles Robert Beltran.
Sorry Mareika...but I must admit that I am a hopeless slave to Beltran's smile.
Also, I am not sure how to navigate in here yet....or how to properly post in the correct topic are but I saw a thread about Robert Beltran being married and having a daughter.( I can't post there yet I guess because I'm new???)
But I accidently ran into a photo of him and his new wife and baby...In case anyone is interested!
She does look just like him!!! He looks happy
^The only reason you shouldn't be able to post in a thread (they all work the same way as this one) is if it's been locked for some reason. It'll have "CLOSED X" in place of the reply button.
Separate names with a comma.

Don't worry about being 'too political' in the pulpit
"Pastor, you are too political," said the irritated parishioner. But he did not stop there. "If you continue this, I'll leave the church." A further implication was obvious: "along with my tithe." In that moment, the pastor is at a crossroad.
Some parishioners have heard sufficiently diluted preaching for so long that they don't recognize truly biblical preaching. Therein lies the problem.
After all, isn't the Bible quite clear? "Go into all the world—except the political realm," according to some people's Bibles? How has that type of preaching worked out for us? Is anyone's community more righteous today than 20 or 40 years ago? Not one.
For 57 years, people have believed a cultural myth that "pastors cannot speak out about politics." Such is the nature of the 1954 Johnson Amendment, which suddenly stripped way from American pulpits what they had enjoyed for more than 160 years—no governmental intrusion in the pulpit. Not only is this "pastors-can't-talk-about-politics" myth unconstitutional—check out the First Amendment—but it flies in the face of biblical authority.
What about Daniel, Jeremiah, Queen Esther, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Obadiah and Nahum? They all failed to get the memo about not speaking out about politics. American pastors are not the first to have "speech restrictions" placed on them. Peter and John dealt with this at the Sanhedrin council, which attempted—unsuccessfully—to dictate what they could preach.
Was John Wesley "too political" for being a cheerleader to William Wilberforce in his crusade to end slavery in the British Empire? Were Orange Scott and Luther Lee too political when they campaigned against American slavery?
Was the congregation of the Wesleyan Chapel of Seneca Falls, N.Y., in 1848 too political when they hosted the first ever conference to obtain the right for women to vote? Was World War II era German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer too political in his biblical preaching? Why do we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.? Because he did not tone down his biblical preaching simply because it had implications for the body of politics.
We fully understand, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" (Matt. 22:21). But what happens if Caesar begins demanding that which is God's?
Can you see how the demarcation has slid? If I would have said 40 years ago that tearing up a baby in a womb was wrong, everyone would have said, "Of course." Say it today, and you are too political. What has happened? Caesar demanded that which is God's. Tragically, some pastors have retreated as the line was moved.
Robby George, the Catholic professor at Princeton, and Timothy George, dean of the Beeson Divinity School of Samford University—under the direction of Prison Fellowship founder Chuck Colson—said it best in writing the final words of the Manhattan Declaration: "We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar's. But under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God's."
On Sunday, Oct. 2, 539 pastors stood in their pulpits and defied the massive governmental intrusion into the pulpit (the Johnson Amendment) as part of the PulpitFreedom.com movement, bringing the four year total to more than 700 who have taken action. And what was the response? The pastors were greeted—most to their surprise—with standing ovations.
Congregations are hungry for true biblical preaching—and that includes preaching that has clear implications for the political arena. Ultimately it is not really political, but it is biblical. Gratefully, many people are coming to realize this truth.

Click here to read the Governor's prepared remarks from the State of the State speech yesterday. Here's an excerpt:
As the wildfires remind us, Colorado is still experiencing a difficult drought. About 95 percent of Colorado is under severe or worse drought conditions. Our snowpack is well below average. This affects far more than the outdoor recreation industry; it impacts all of Colorado.
That's why we set a goal of crafting a state water plan by 2015 … and much work has already been done. While expanding reservoir capacity makes sense, and rotational fallowing of agricultural land shows great promise, every discussion about water should start with conservation [ed. emphasis mine].
The Interbasin Compact Committee and Basin Roundtable process affords stakeholders in each basin a forum for discussion. Our water plan will stand on the shoulders of their work. We know that a plan is not a silver bullet, but it is an essential next step if we are to shape how Colorado will look in the future. As farmers and ranchers brace for what could be another hard year of drought, every property owner who lives in the mountains to our west will need to make their own preparations…
Many scientists believe that our severe drought, the bark beetle epidemic and the terrible fire season are further evidence of climate change. While no state can address the issue in isolation, reducing pollutants and promoting sustainable development, ought to be common ground for all of us.

DETROIT - Brian Elliott turned aside all 28 shots he faced to make Chris Porter's gritty second-period goal stand up as visiting St. Louis matched a season high with its fourth consecutive victory.
Patrik Berglund and defenseman Barret Jackman each notched an assist for the Blues, who have won eight of 12 and moved past the Red Wings to tie Minnesota for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Wild visit Columbus later on Sunday.
Jimmy Howard finished with 24 saves for eighth-place Detroit, which has nine contests remaining and is flirting with missing the playoffs for the first time since the 1989-90 season.
Elliott highlighted his 19th career shutout - and first in 2013 - after denying Gustav Nyquist on a breakaway with eight minutes remaining in the second period. Elliott made a brilliant glove save on Pavel Datsyuk with 21 seconds left in the third to preserve the victory.
Porter provided the lone offense with 3:32 remaining in the second period. Jackman blocked a shot in his own zone to ignite his team's rush up the ice. Berglund's bid was denied by Howard, but Porter alertly spotted the loose puck between the netminder's outstretched pads and poked it home for his second goal.
Commissioner Gary Bettman announced prior to the game that Detroit will face Original Six-rival Toronto in the Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium on Jan. 1, 2014. The teams were originally scheduled to play at The Big House on New Year's Day in 2013, but the lockout canceled the contest. ... St. Louis captain David Backes and LW Alexander Steen saw their respective three-game point streaks come to an end. ... Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg remained one assist shy of 400 for his career. ... Referee Dan O'Halloran officiated his 1,000th career NHL game.

Tagged: Matt Vasgersian
A 2-0-1 weekend
The Pirates competed in a trio of ballgames this weekend in the Sunshine State.
They did not lose a single game.
The jolly roger was raised for the first time this spring training season on Friday in a 5-3 win over the Orioles.
One of my favorite prospects in the organization is catcher Tony Sanchez.
I was able to catch one of Sanchez's very first minor league games in person back in Youngstown, OH. He was with the State College Spikes facing my hometown Mahoning Valley Scrappers.
He is a very likeable fellow coming out of Boston College.
In his very first spring training at bat, Sanchez belted a solo homerun off Baltimore's Troy Patton.
Sanchez is just 21 years old, eight months older than me. It is very funny that someone my age is one of the hottest prospects on a major league ballclub. I guess it is really not too much to fathom as I am a year from graduating college surrounded by Division 1 athletes at one of America's top sports universities.
Sanchez will probably begin the year in AA Altoona, but will find his way in the 'Burgh by 2011.
On Saturday the jolly roger may have been raised, but just halfway.
The Pirates and Philies played their way to a 3-3 ten inning tie.
The reining National League champs got hot right off the bat with two runs in the first inning. Pirates starter Kevin Hart looked very sloppy. He looks to be the 5th starter in the rotation so he really needs to hone his mechanics for the remainder of March.
The bottom of the first inning let the Pirates match the Phils, in fact they one upped the boys with Brotherly love. The Buccos scored their only three runs of the contest in the first frame. Ryan Church delievered a two run home run.
On Sunday's day of rest, the Buc's bats did anything but. Pittsburgh destroyed absolutely destroyed Minnesota 15-5.
Bobby Crosby gave a good audition for the starting shortstop position with a four RBI performance.
Crosby belted a 3-run homerun while going 2-for-3. It was great to see this guy come through. Whether starting or on the bench he will be vital to the team's success. Garrett Jones also connected for a homerun, his first of the spring.
The weekend was fun filled with Pirates baseball.
On Sunday it was 30 Clubs/30 Days featuring the Pirates on MLB Network. I think the broadcast team led by Matt Vasgersian really brought to light the hope and promise of the Bucs. They were valiant to praise the efforts of Neil Huntington and the restocked minor league system. They also had good interviews with Lastings Milledge, Andrew McCutchen and Paul Maholm. McCutchen also had a "wired-in" segment with him playing around with teammates comparing his speed to Usain Bolt (a stretch) and hitting an opposite field homerun into the Allegheny River at PNC Park (a bigger stretch).
This weekend I also recieved a package I have long been anticipating.
My Dave Parker poster finally came! I saw this on ebay for a nice price of seven bucks and could not pass it up. It is actually a 7-up ad from the early 80's. I'm sure the cobra will be so proud to know a college id knows who he is and that the Pirates pride is still stemming from the "We Are Family" days.
On Tuesday I will get the opportunity to see live baseball for the first time in a while.
The West Virginia baseball teams hits the recently snow vacated field to do battle with Duquesne. I once again will be the beat writer for the school newspaper covering the team.

By Denis Hayes, President and CEO, The Bullitt Foundation. Mr. Hayes, coordinated the first Earth Day in April 1970, and is Honorary Chairman of the Earth Day Network.
Extensive recent media attention has focused on setbacks for environmentalists at the hands of the Tea Party activists bent on limiting the ability of the federal government to protect the environment. Indeed, it seems Tea Party elements are comfortable filling our harbors with substances far more toxic than tea.
But a sea change in environmental law is occurring without out as much notice, one that is disconcerting, and calls out for heightened attention, and action.
In recent years, our courts have issued rulings undercutting the Clean Water Act, lifting deep water drilling moratoriums, expanding mountain top removal, and weakening other environmental protections.
On Tuesday, just days before Earth Day, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in American Elec. Power Co. v. Connecticut, which centers on whether a string of states can proceed with a lawsuit against coal-fired power plants to force restrictions on the pollutants they emit. The Obama administration, which continues to disappoint environmental groups, urged the Supreme Court to shut the lawsuit down, claiming that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will eventually get around to crafting regulations curtailing emissions of carbon dioxide.
The lawsuit lodged by Connecticut, New York, California, Rhode Island, Vermont, Iowa and New York City, says the EPA is taking far too long to implement such regulations. The Los Angeles Times reports that during oral argument the justices, both liberal and conservative, seemed ready to side with the administration and the power companies, including American Electric Power, Xcel Energy, Duke Energy and Southern Co., and toss the lawsuit out of court.
It is not surprising that many environmentalists are deeply disturbed by the anti-environmental court rulings and the administration's unwillingness to remain firm on even the most vitally important environmental issues.
From its earliest days, the modern environmental movement has taken pride in its superb litigators. In the 1970s and 80s -- when the federal judiciary still aspired to objectivity and neutrality -- our legal gladiators routinely won landmark cases. In more recent years, however, right-wing extremists have successfully packed the courts with anti-environmental zealots who ignore legislative intent and scientific evidence.
Environmentalists are up against organizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has been funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into state judicial races and helping to groom potential federal judges for the bench, ones inclined to support big business interests without regard to established law and precedent. The chamber's greatest triumph to date was the Supreme Court's 5-4 opinion in Citizens United v. FEC, holding that no limits could be placed on corporations' independent political expenditures.
Nearly two-thirds of the federal judiciary was appointed by Republican presidents, and a large percentage of recent Democratic appointments were made principally with an eye to avoiding a conservative-led filibuster in the Senate.
Unfortunately, this ideological shift in the judiciary has largely escaped public notice. Groups like ACS must find ways to generate public support for the selection and appointment of jurists to the courts who are respectful of legislative intent, stare decisis, and science.
Well-funded right-wing organizations help corporate interests skew the federal bench and the debate over sound environmental policy by producing reams of so-called expert scholarship that trumpet deregulation and the original intent of statesman-philosophers in an 18th century agrarian nation, as well as deny or downplay global warming. Of course, the "original intent" of the Framers was to conquer a wilderness -- not protect the last remnants of it that remain two centuries later.
Recent debate over environmental policy has been shaped by these right-wing promulgators of sound-bite philosophies that are blithely indifferent to science, reason, or the public good. And they are enjoying an appalling degree of success.
As a result, the values that underpinned the first Earth Day and that are still shared by the vast majority of Americans are being quietly subverted by all three branches of government. In the years ahead, those of us who care about a healthy, sustainable environment must play a much more active role in supporting or opposing judicial nominees. At the same time, we must work much harder to win the war of ideas in law schools and in the legal community.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to design an application that runs entirely from the system tray. One of the main features of this application will be to intermittently display messages containing various information to the user.
I would like to display the information through "popups" that would appear just above the system tray. This would be similar to the popups displayed whenever a user logs into or sends you a message through MSN Messenger. Or also the kind of message you receive when there is an OS update available from Microsoft.
I did manage to find some information on how to design "balloon tips" that look like yellow comic book dialog boxes. However, only the newest versions of Windows support that feature and they are not as customizable as I would like (I would like to have a title, hyperlinks, pictures).
If anyone could offer some information on how I would go about designing customizable popup dialogs above the system tray I would be very grateful.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

aff_tim wrote:sounds like an investment priority of faster GPU instead of more video card ram would be prudent for system ram optimization.
aff_tim wrote:No, that's not how it works. A given video card has a set of registers that specify how much space it wants in the system memory map for DMA operations. This may or may not correspond to how much RAM is on the card, but it's set in stone by the firmware on the card. At boot, your system's BIOS reads these registers and sets aside that area. When Windows boots, that chunk of the physical memory map is already unavailable. It does not change over time; the only way it would change is if you flashed a different firmware on the card (and perhaps not even then).sounds like the available memory is actually a moving target with the % of on board video ram being utilized at any given instant to be a factor involved in the available system memory issue.
There's still contention on the bus for that system memory, so it's still much slower than dedicated memory. Sideport memory or on-card memory belongs to the GPU alone, and that makes a difference. Dedicated cards also tend to use fast memory optimized for graphics ops.but as I now understand it, on-board video chips using system ram is not the resource hog I perceived the on-board chip to be.
& the new side port video memory is actually of less benefit than would appear at 1st (well marketed) glance.

But on older hardware that may not help, since (as we've discussed multiple times) there are motherboards that will accept a 64bit CPU but don't offer the option of hoisting RAM above the area set aside for DMA devices, and/or don't offer more than 32bits of physical address lines.Or you could get an x64 OS and not have to deal with half of this madness.

If you are getting errors no matter which way this switch is set (even if they differ in detail) it's possible the problem has nothing to do with the switch. Are you sure your memory is all good (run a memtest on it)?
If you're not encountering a hardware problem (like bad memory) then it's possible that you're hitting some problem with the drivers. You said you upgraded your PC -- was the system running properly with the new hardware before you tried re-installing the OS? What 32bit OS are you trying to install (XP?) Have you tried installing the OS without the new hardware (it's possible Windows is detecting the new hardware and selecting drivers for it, but the default drivers that you'd have on any original Windows XP CD would be very old and might have problems with newer hardware)?
Since we're talking about a 32bit OS and possibly other hardware problems that likely has nothing to do with memory remapping or the 4GB limit (and "lost" RAM below that) you might want to open a fresh thread for this.

At around that same time there was another problem. In areas where 1024KBs wasn't enough. You had to buy an expensive, separate memory module along with a software hack known as EMS or Extended Memory System.

PHP frame/includes problem
Hi! I'm new to PHP, so forgive me if I am missing an obvious answer. I can't get a small portion of my include or switch statement to work correctly.
I am trying to develop my own site using PHP instead of frames with this layout:
|_______ Header __________|
[__ Nav1___ Nav2 ___ Nav3 __]
|_________________________ |
|_________________________ |
|_________________________ |
|_______ Content __________|
|_________________________ |
|_________________________ |
But within the content, I am trying to make a seperate navigation list like this:
| [subnav item1] ___ subContent _____|
| [subnav item2] ___________________|
| [subnav item3] ___________________|
where the subContent changes depending on which subnav item is clicked.
To do this, I've been using something like this:

 <?php include('header.php')?>
 Nav1 Nav2</> //etc for nav3 <?php $page = $_GET['page']; switch ($page){ case "nav1": include('Nav1.php'); break; //etc for nav2, nav3 default: include('home.php'); } ?> And then within Nav1 I will have:
 <?php include('subnav.php')?>

 <?php $subc = $_GET['page'] switch($subc){ case "sn1": include('subnav1.php'); break; default: include(Nav1_home.php) }?>
So when I visit my page, everything works except the includes statement for the content. The address bar would say "http://website.com/index.php?page=subnav1" but it would show the home page instead of the content which was written in the file subnav1.php. But however, when I visit say Nav1, the default includes "Nav1_home.php" will show up in the subcontent area
Is this because I can't do multiple switch/include statements within each other? How can I work around that? If not, what am I doing wrong?
I've been trying to search multiple forums for a problem close to this but I have not been able to come across one :[

Saying "using PHP instead of frames " is like saying you want an apple orchard without planting orange trees. We say Of Course
So you want a horizontal menu and in the main area under that you want a vertical menu

Haha... so i'm not totally understanding the apple orchard analogy. Thanks for the website though! it is very useful to see with the different designs. i will be sure to reference it in the future when i am thinking about more designs. however, i don't see it helping this problem much.
i wanted to be able to load the subcontent without having to reload the page everytime a new navigation link has been clicked. however, i realize now that wanting that would be crossing into ajax and jquery territory so i have some more learning to do now...

Yount reveling in another postseason
Bench coach and Hall of Fame shortstop played in 1982 Series
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Robin Yount, Mr. Brewer, would have been back in Milwaukee on Saturday for the city's first postseason game in 26 years under any circumstances, but not particularly these circumstances. On Sept. 15, Yount was sitting at home in Phoenix, a plane ticket already in hand to attend last weekend's final home series of the season, against the Cubs, when he received a phone call from Dale Sveum. Ned Yost had just been dismissed as Brewers manager. Sveum was the interim manager. Did Yost want to be his bench coach for the final 12 games?
"This is not exactly what I had in mind, the way I was going to come and watch these playoff games," said the Hall of Fame shortstop while sitting in the Brewers dugout before Thursday night's Game 2 of the National League Division Series at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies. "I had planned on coming to all the games, but I was going to be sitting in the stands."With the unfortunate circumstances of Ned being fired, Dale called, and I couldn't say no to that." Yount played his entire 20-year career with the Brewers, from 1974 to 1993. And as such, he was the shortstop on the 1982 squad that made it to the postseason for the last time, losing the World Series in seven games to St. Louis. Four members of that club, which Commissioner Bud Selig owned, are in the Hall of Fame. In addition to Yount, Paul Molitor, Don Sutton and Rollie Fingers are enshrined in Cooperstown, N.Y., but Yount is the only pure Brewer in there. He's the continuum from one postseason appearance to the next, even working as Yost's bench coach in 2006 before leaving the game to entertain his outside interests. "I have others beside baseball," Yount said with a laugh, his lips curling under that trademark red mustache. Even with all that, and with the Brewers struggling to make the playoffs, Yount said that he didn't have to think twice when he received the call from Sveum, even if the position is just for the short term. "I was coming back either way, not expecting to be in uniform," he said. "So it was a pretty easy decision. My wife wasn't home, and I had to try to find her and tell her what had just happened. It was a done deal, about as quick as it could be. I feel very lucky to be here and be a part of it." Yount was a .285 lifetime hitter with 251 homers and 1,406 RBIs. But he excelled in the 1982 World Series, saving his best work for those seven games. He batted .414 (12-for-29) with three doubles, a homer, six runs scored and six RBIs. His homer came in the seventh inning of the Brewers' Game 5, 6-4 victory at Milwaukee's old County Stadium off Cardinals starter Bob Forsch on Oct. 17, 1982, and it stands as his fondest memory of that World Series. "Playing in it was the highlight of my career, but to pinpoint little things is not that easy to do," he said. "If I had to pick out one single thing, I guess every kid dreams of hitting a home run in a World Series game. And I did that in one of the games, so if I had to pull one thing out of a hat, that might be it." On the downside, the Brewers left Milwaukee that October needing one win in the final two games at Busch Stadium to win the World Series. "We didn't get it," Yount said. Down, 1-0, in the current best-of-five series, the Brewers entered Thursday night's tilt having not won a postseason game since that Game 5 of that World Series nearly 26 years ago. To Yount, as it is to so many others, it's mind-boggling that the years have soared by so quickly. "It's hard to imagine it's been so much time," he said. "We expected to be back in it the next year. I think most players feel that way when you get to a World Series. We were certainly like that, and to think it's gone this long since that time, it's pretty amazing. On the other side of the coin, there are organizations that have gone even longer than that. "What you realize is that it's such a special thing to get to the postseason and even more so to win a World Series. You can't take any of it for granted, because you just never know."

(NAPS)—It may seem surprising to some, but real estate investors can not only do well for themselves, they can do good for the community, too.
Here's How
Back when the housing market went bad, investors got a lot of the blame. They were accused of taking on more properties than they could afford, which resulted in increased foreclosures. Now, however, investors are finding valuable opportunities and earning a more respectable reputation.
In several areas that were hit hard by the housing and economic recessions, investors are playing a key role in the turnaround. Many of today's investors are ordinary people, simply buying a second home in their own neighborhood and turning it into a rental property.
So why the surge in real estate investment? These investors see the "perfect storm" of opportunity: historically low interest rates, attractive home prices and a great selection. The new breed of investor also removes many damaged and vacant properties off the market and makes much-needed repairs to improve the value of their investment and the neighborhood.
Because rental demand is strong, today's investor can realize a positive cash flow and hold the property for appreciation over the long term. Also, Fannie Mae now allows financing for up to 20 properties for individual investors, in addition to financing that will cover both the property purchase and remodeling costs.
During any real estate downturn, all eyes fall on real estate investors. Their activity level often indicates how stable real estate markets are and signals other buyers when it's a good time to make a move—typically when investors sense prices have stopped declining.
Investors are sending a strong message about their confidence in the current market by making up over 20 percent of all residential real estate buyers.
Expert's Opinion
"Real estate is and has always been a sound long-term investment," said Margaret Kelly, CEO of the real estate franchise company RE/MAX, LLC. "More and more of the folks next door are taking steps to secure one or two rental properties or a vacation home in their favorite locations in hopes of adding to their nest egg."
Interested buyers don't have to have a large sum of cash on hand to start investing. In fact, it's even possible to use retirement funds, such as an IRA, to invest in real estate, using an approved custodian to manage the investment.
Many budding investors may not be aware of the stimulus they provide a challenged industry and a struggling economy. Investors reduce the foreclosure inventory, make improvements and provide housing for families that can't qualify for a mortgage. All this adds to the momentum of the current housing recovery.
Anyone thinking of investing in real estate, however, should seek out professional advice and assistance.
"Real estate agents know their communities and can identify the best opportunities. And many real estate agents have obtained specific training to help those looking for investment property," Kelly added.
Many communities that suffered during the housing crisis are now benefiting from increased investor activity.

Wilson not worried about SI survey
By Trey Scott / MLB.com
"Hey, that's fine," Wilson said after winning his seventh game on Friday against the Rockies. "I don't really care what opponents think. It's my job to get them out."
Wilson, who has a 2.39 ERA, was forwarded a link to the survey this week.
"When I do those surveys and answer that question, I try to think of it in terms of performance per dollar," said Wilson, who signed a five-year, $77.5 million contract with the Angels in the offseason. "That's the way I view it. I don't know where I rank in terms of starting-pitcher salaries. Mine over the past three years had to be in the middle of the range for starting pitchers."
Because the survey was handed out during Spring Training, it's likely Wilson's 2011 postseason struggles, in which he was 0-3 for the Texas Rangers with a 5.79 ERA, were fresh on the minds of many. But Wilson has been among the best pitchers in the Majors recently -- he has the second-best ERA among American League starters and has allowed only two runs in his last 28 innings pitched.
"He's throwing the heck out of the ball for us," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy didn't think the pitcher that mowed his club down on Friday -- Wilson had nine strikeouts -- had failed to live up to his big contract.
"The Angels didn't pay for mediocrity," Tracy said. "They paid for [last night's performance], and they got it."
Trout says thumb is 'fine'
DENVER -- A day after an errant fastball, clocked at 97 mph, clipped him on the thumb in the top of the ninth inning, Mike Trout said he was feeling "fine."
"It just hit the the tip of my finger," said Trout, who had a small bandage wrap on his left thumb. "I'm happy I got out of the way."
After a brief injury delay, Trout took his base, advanced to third on a hit by Torii Hunter and then scored on an Albert Pujols double. It was one of Trout's three runs scored in the Angels 7-2 win over the Rockies. Trout, a rookie, also notched three hits and stole two bases.
Since May 1, Trout is hitting .360, tops among American League hitters. He's compiled a .500 batting average in June heading into play on Saturday. Overall, Trout is hitting. 340 with five home runs and 22 RBIs, with 11 stolen bases.
"He's been a catalyst," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "You have to step back and realize this is a 20-year-old kid. He gives you a lot of confidence moving forward about having a player who's going to be an impact player in your lineup for a while."
Trout went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, three runs scored and two stolen bases on Saturday.
Hunter gets another shot in two-hole
DENVER -- Torii Hunter hit No. 2 on Saturday against the Rockies, the second time this season he's hit there.
The results are hard to argue with. Hitting second on Friday night, Hunter drove in six runs on two home runs and a single. It was the 17th multi-homer game of his career, and the sixth time he's had as many RBIs.
"The way he performed yesterday in the two-hole, we want to keep that look," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "Torii is a guy who'll work some counts, he runs well, he creates offense. He's not a traditional two-hole hitter, but I think having him in front of Albert [Pujols] and Mark [Trumbo] is something that can work."
Each of Hunter's three hits came with leadoff hitter Mike Trout on base. Trout had three hits himself, and also was hit by a pitch. A threat to steal -- two yesterday and 11 on the year -- Trout makes sure pitchers pay him plenty of attention, which can open things up for Hunter at the plate."It's always good when I'm on and he's up," Trout said.
Hunter followed up his performance by going 3-for-4 with three runs scored on Saturday.
Hawkins returns from disabled list
DENVER -- The Angels reinstated LaTroy Hawkins on Saturday after the right-handed reliever missed 30 games with a fractured finger on his right hand, which he suffered on May 6 while fielding a ground ball on the last play of the game against Toronto.
To make room for Hawkins, Bobby Cassevah was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake.
"LaTroy is the type of guy you don't realize how good he is until he's gone," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "We definitely missed what he could bring to our bullpen depth, whether he was coming in [during] the middle of the game or pitching late.
Hawkins has given up one earned run in 8 1/3 innings this year. In 24 appearances against the Rockies, he owns a 1.80 ERA. He pitched for the Rockies on their 2007 National League championship club.
"We'll see what inning he comes in, but he's ready," Scioscia said "We're excited to have him back and have a different dimension to our bullpen."
Hawkins entered Saturday's game with one out in the sixth inning and pitched two-thirds of an inning of scoreless ball.
Worth noting
Starting pitcher Jered Weaver (6-1, 2.61 ERA) will throw from the mound on Monday. Weaver was placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 29 with a lower back strain.
Catcher Chris Iannetta (fractured right wrist, placed on 15-day disabled list on May 10) experienced some tightness in his forearm during his rehab work. The Angels stopped Iannetta's assignments this weekend and hope to resume on Monday.

Community service for singer Bowers
Dane Bowers must perform community service after admitting common assault during a drunken night out.
Norwich Crown Court heard how the singer, DJ and former Big Brother star led a group of men in a violent confrontation against another group, including two black men, outside a nightclub in the city.
During the attack, the 33-year-old former partner of glamour model Katie Price, grabbed a man by the neck and "shook him around", the court heard.
Witnesses said they heard Bowers shouting racist language but when challenged he told them: "Don't accuse me of being racist, my father's black."
Other witnesses said somebody else may have shouted the abuse. When arrested Bowers told police that he was "eight out of 10 drunk" with 10 being a state of total drunkenness.
He had been due to stand trial today accused of two counts of assault on separate victims and one of harassment - all allegedly racially aggravated.
But today Bowers, who wore a grey shirt, waistcoat and tie in court, admitted one count of common assault and one of threatening behaviour, both without any racial element. Judge Stephen Holt ordered that he compete 120 hours of unpaid work for the community. He must also pay £1,000 in legal costs.
Prosecutor John Farmer said the other charges would not be proceeded with. Mr Farmer said the incident happened after 5am on June 2 in Prince of Wales Road, Norwich's nightclub district.
Kevin Molloy, mitigating, said that Bowers was "many degrees away from somebody who could be deemed racist". He added that his grandfather is Jamaican.
A spokesman for Bowers said after the hearing: "Dane Bowers has been found not guilty of any racial elements of the allegation made against him... He is upset that it's taken this long to clear his name and obviously the attached stigma of racism affected him workwise, and was in any case always a bizarre allegation given that Dane's father is black and Dane himself is mixed race."

The Wallflowers packed a number of tracks from their upcoming album, Glad All Over, as well as their most beloved songs, into their 40-plus minute Live On Letterman performance at New York's Ed Sullivan Theater on Thursday (October 5).
"We're gonna play something that's new and also a bit familiar," frontman Jakob Dylan announced before "Reboot The Mission" from the new album (due in stores October 9). That statement seemed like a contradiction: but while the song is new, it has elements that would be familiar to fans of The Clash, a band that Dylan has long cited as an influence (Clash guitarist Mick Jones plays on the studio version). The lyrics include lines like "now, welcome Jack, the new drummer/He jammed with the mighty Joe Strummer," a reference to The Clash's late leader. But Jack Irons, "the new drummer," definitely brings the band some extra punch. A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a member of The Red Hot Chili Peppers (and also a former member of Pearl Jam), he gives The Wallflowers a more aggressive feeling than they've had in the past.
Opening with an upbeat new song "Have Mercy On Him Now," which also had a Clash-like feel, the band then went into "Three Marlenas." While the world knows that The Wallflowers is Jakob Dylan's band, keyboardist Rami Jaffee's importance can't be underestimated; he left the band briefly in 2007, and they are much stronger with him back in the fold. His Hammond organ playing is as vital to the band as Benmont Tench's is to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. It's no surprise that he's one of the most in-demand keyboardist in music (in fact, he splits his time between The Wallflowers and The Foo Fighters).
The other new songs — including "Love Is A Country," "It Won't Be Long Before We're Not Wrong Anymore" and "First One In The Car" — were well received by fans, no doubt looking forward to picking up or downloading Glad All Over on Tuesday. But the audience reacted most warmly, predictably, to the older songs from the group's breakthrough album, 1996's Bringing Down The Horse: "6th Avenue Heartache," "Three Marlenas" and "One Headlight." Before playing the latter song, Dylan took issue with some incorrect lyric transcriptions that he's seen online. "I would never write a line that says 'I'm so alone!' It's 'I sit alone!' Big difference! 'I'm so alone' is a bit dramatic for my speed!"
Dylan ended with a few thank yous: "We want to say how much fun we've had our entire career with 'The David Letterman Show' since 1992," joking "That's 35 years ago!" and then closed with another Bringing Down The Horse hit, "The Difference," which had a bit more muscle (and maybe speed) than it used to. The band have tour dates booked through December, and if this show was any indication of how strong their full live shows will be, it's a performance that is not to be missed.

A comeback by Ozzie could be a winner
Guillen a proven winning manager and should follow path similar to one Leyland took
By Phil Rogers / MLB.com
A funny thing happened at the Caribbean World Series on Wednesday. Ozzie Martinez, the Mayaguez shortstop, hit a home run to help Puerto Rico avoid elimination, and Ozzie Guillen, as part of the ESPNDeportes broadcast team, helped describe it.
What's odd about that?
Well, the two Ozzies were traded for each other a little more than two years ago.
Martinez, who was sold to the Dodgers midway through the 2012 season, and reliever Jhan Marinez were the price that the White Sox extracted from the Marlins to allow Guillen to leave his contract as the White Sox manager one year early.
What a sad chapter for everyone involved, as it turned out.
Guillen, who had managed the White Sox to a World Series championship in 2005, ending a drought that had begun in 1918, forced his exit from the organization that had his back as a player and a manager because Miami owner Jeffrey Loria had a new stadium and the new revenue streams to go with it.
When Guillen signed on to manage the Sox in 2004, he didn't even know how much he was going to be paid. He took the job first and then let chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Ken Williams decide how much to pay him. That's how happy he was to get a chance to manage.
But things changed after Guillen's team won the World Series. His personality, which had been on display since his Rookie of the Year season for Tony La Russa in 1985, grew.
Around baseball, with payrolls climbing, this came at the height of the so-called "Moneyball" era, as some managers began to be valued less and general managers more. Guillen clashed with Williams over a variety of issues -- most of them silly -- and at times sucked the air out of a room. He suddenly cared a lot about his contract, pushing Reinsdorf for contract extensions. The Marlins saw him as available after the 2011 season, even though he was signed to manage the White Sox through '12, and Williams worked out a deal -- for Martinez and Marinez -- to allow them to talk to Guillen, who said yes to a four-year, $10 million offer from Loria.
Guillen continues to draw that salary even though Loria swept him aside in the purge that followed a 69-93 season that began with hope fueled by the additions of Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell and Guillen. He has two more years to go on a contract that makes him the sixth-highest-paid manager in baseball.
Believe it or not, Mike Scioscia, Joe Girardi, Bruce Bochy, Terry Francona and Dusty Baker (no longer with Cincinnati but with one more year on his deal) are the only managers known to be earning more than $2.5 million a season. The guy who wears a World Series ring from 2005 makes more than the two guys who took their teams to the most recent World Series, John Farrell of the Red Sox and Mike Matheny of the Cardinals, and Ron Washington, who took the Rangers to back-to-back Series in '10 and '11.
Guillen has actually moved up on the list while in comfortable exile. Big-ticket managers Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Charlie Manuel and Davey Johnson have come off the books in the past two years, all replaced at much lower costs.
If nothing else, this speaks to how little managers are valued in the current game. Guillen worked the system to get what he believed he was worth, and now he's a 50-year-old with more energy than responsibility.
Guillen should manage again, the sooner the better. The only way to statistically quantify the success or failure of a manager is through Bill James' Pythagorean standings, which calculate a team's expected record based on a series of factors, the biggest being runs scored and runs allowed. Guillen was plus-19 in his eight seasons with Chicago and plus-1 in his one year with the Marlins.
That plus-20 is proof that he would be worth it to a team that hires him. But between his departure from the White Sox and his turbulent year with Miami, Guillen's reputation took a big hit. He's got to rehabilitate his image and demonstrate that he's hungry to manage again.
If a job opportunity comes along, he's got to jump on it, whether it's to manage or coach. His mistake was to get too caught up in himself, the power he wielded and the money he made. It shouldn't be a life sentence to get off-track.
Look at Leyland. He managed three teams in four years when he was in his early 50s, burning himself out. He was a mess in his one season with the Rockies, resigning even though he had two years remaining on his contract, and now he seems ticketed for Cooperstown.
Leyland stayed involved in the game post-Colorado, working as a scout and advisor, and after a six-year absence from the dugout, he jumped when GM Dave Dombrowski offered him a chance to manage a losing Detroit team.
It was the one of the best moves the Tigers ever made, and the same for him. There's no reason Guillen can't one day make a similar return. He's got too much to offer to spend the rest of his career as an analyst and story-teller.

My bike (with 74,000 km on it) was working fine prior to doing a synchronization with the GS-911 today.
As part of routine maintenance, I thought I would check the synchronization, so I connected the GS-911 using my laptop and I believe I followed the directions as prompted by the GS-911. I used two mercury columns from my mercury four column manometer for the balancer.
Before doing the synchronization I calibrated the exhaust flap successfully.
As it turned out, I actually didn't make any adjustments whatsoever to the bike's two throttle body cables as the differential pressures at idle, and at 1400 - 1800 rpm, were within specification, as per the BMW Repair Manual DVD.
When I finished the calibration procedure, the laptop said the procedure was successful. But in reality it was not successful, because when I finished the procedure the engine is now steadily surging back and forth between about 1500 to 2000 rpm, so the bike is not idling normally, and it is not driveable.
There were no fault codes before I started and there are no fault codes now.
When I attempted the synchronization procedure again, the engine runs normally when the idle actuators are locked during the procedure, but when they are unlocked, at the start of the procedure, and at the end of the procedure, the engine surging starts.
After the problem arose, I did some other things with the GS_911, and the GS-911 says that it successfully performed the idle actuation calibration, as well as the idle actuator test 1 and test 2, as well as the electric fuel pump test, as well as the injector 1 and injector 2 tests.
During the synchronization procedure, I ran the bike at idle, and I also sped the engine up a bit with the twist grip to check the pressure differential between 1400 to 1800 rpm, as per the BMW Repair DVD...would my moving of the twist grip have screwed something up? Is there a way of "re-calibrating the twist grip?
I have started the engine several times since, thinking it might "reset" itself, but the problem is still there.
Can anybody please help me out?
Thank you.
