Making sense of the signing
Yes, the internets were scratching their collective heads on Tuesday when the word broke that the Jays had signed ex-Marlin and Cub closer Kevin Gregg. On the surface, the move is just that - a head scratcher. Standing alone, it's difficult to find the logic. Is Gregg really an upgrade over Jason Frasor? Scott Downs? Jeremy Accardo? Was there really a need to add another relief arm considering the club also has Shawn Camp, Brian Tallet, Josh Roenicke, Jesse Carlson, Dirk Hayhurst, Casey Janssen, Scott Richmond, Merkin Valdez, and rule-5 dude Zech Zinicola looking to eat some innings?
No, probably not. But there's the rub - it's probably unfair to judge this move on a stand-alone basis. Consider some possible scenarios:
(1) Anthopoulos has a deal in the works to trade one (or more) of the more notable bullpen arms - think Frasor, Downs, Accardo - thus the need for an experienced late-inning reliever to handle the 8th/9th. It's problematic in that it seems to be working backwards, but we've seen the domino-effect already this winter - the Jays/Phils/Mariners/A's deal as a prime example, and the Yankees/Tigers/Diamondbacks trade being another.
Lots of overly-optimistic speculation out there that the signing is a precursor to a deal to bring in the exciting young shortstop the club covets, but I'm not buying it. Young franchise shortstops aren't traded for spare bullpen parts - unless they're packaged with big-time talent. Which could happen, I suppose (lending credence to my oft-stated belief that a young starter is on the way out....), but I'm not holding my breath.
The question then becomes, who/what are the Jays targeting in return if the primary asset on the move is Frasor/Downs?
(2) As a Type-A free agent who wasn't offered arbitration, he comes to the Jays free of draft pick obligations, and the club hopes he holds that value throughout the season, effectively netting picks when he signs elsewhere in 2011. This can't be the primary motivation. Can't be. Way too risky, for a multitude of reasons.
For one, the Jays would have to offer arbitration to qualify for compensation, and the market clearly penalizes relievers designated with Type-A status. Gregg could very easily accept the arb, and the Jays are not only left pick-less, but with a contract (and player) they don't want. For two....do we really think Gregg can maintain that Type-A status? Type-B maybe, but that's a big to-do for a sandwich pick.
(3) The Jays are aware of the arbitration risk, and instead hope Gregg pitches well enough to garner interest at the trade deadline, netting prospects in return. If this is the case, I don't see how Gregg ups his value pitching in the AL East. Best case scenario, he hits the deadline being viewed as potential bullpen help for a contending team - who'd be willing to offer contract relief and not a lot more in return.
(4) Gregg has a nice enough arm, the Jays felt he was undervalued in the market, and it's a $2.75M play for bullpen depth. That can't be it, can it? The Jays have been stockpiling relief all winter, and it's not like Gregg suddenly became available. He's been out there all winter with nary a peep until, uh, now.
Something has to give. I've mentioned thirteen arms above vying for major league innings. Half of those will make the team (yes, 6.5 of them). It's not like the rest can all go straight to Vegas, leaving no room for other prospect arms and rehab stints.
Reviewing the possibilities, it seems there has to be something in the works, no? Forced to choose, I'd say more trades are coming. I just wouldn't get your hopes up on that franchise shortstop we all dream on....yet.

Loved your take on the "sign him for picks" theory- as you said, seems like no team is in the market of offering middle relievers arbitration at the moment.
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more smaller deals are on the horizon. I think Anthopoulos is trying to get some value out of the bullpen arms the Jays have, relievers being the most volatile commodity year to year.
Or he's a really firm believer in the "you can never have enough pitching" theory.

So looks like a few relievers will be out the door this week. How many I wonder?
- February 3, 2010 at 1:05 AM
It pays to keep the opposition, and fans for that matter, off balance and guessing. Do you think I would allow a short-sighted contract signing of any kind to take place? Understand this: I am in total control of your baseball dreams, and you must trust my suave demeanor and tactical brilliance. After all, who else can you rely on?
Rest assured, I have more than a few tricks left up my fine Kashmir sleeves.

I'm not a big fan of Shawn Camp and Camp clearly had a better year against tougher competition than Gregg had last year - hell it was pretty much as good as Gregg's BEST years when you figure the divison.
this gets a big honking "WTF?" from me.

Just when I was getting confused enough about the Gregg signing, we go and sign Wade Townsend. Former 1st rd pick (twice), never played above AA ball it looks like. He must have some good stuff???

the hope is for a SS of the future but Downs/Frasor could easily be packaged with Overbay and a young starter for some B prospects at 3B or CF. those are positions of need as well.
at the end of the day the next major move will be signing a big time FA next off season. this team cannot plausibly hope to compete for the playoffs in the next 5 years by trading their spare parts and building through the draft.
- February 3, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Hi. Hope you all will excuse this pinstripe interloper. (Blame Neyer for linking the rest of us to the Tao.) My question: Do you all think that Downs is healthy? Has he begun his decline?
If he's physically sound, and if his gastank isn't nearing empty, then I would bet he has real value to the Sox, Phils, Yanks, et al. Problem is the $4 million he's due this year and his age (34). Still, paired with a mid-rotation starter, he might just net you a high-ceiling prospect.
But, again: Is he healthy? Is the team that trades for him gonna get stuck with a fat, useless contract? What's your honest assessment? Thanks for accommodating an Evil Empire troll. Best wishes, seriously, on building a winner.

Heyo - Neyer love. He's a smart guy and a good writer - big fan here.
re: Downs - it seems the problem with him (health-wise) the past few seasons have just been bullshit fluke little ankle/toe injuries - from such athletic endeavors as awkwardly running to first during an interleague at-bat or stumbling off the mound while fielding grounders.
When he's right, though, he's a weapon out of the pen.

I heard about this deal and keep thinking back to AA talking about trying to package 5-6 players for a young SS. Not sure if anyone out there really needs 5 new bullpen arms and a shiny slightly used overbay but maybe. Stranger things have happened.
I guess today we wait for the other shoe to drop. I can't help but wonder if this may end up being a Frasor/Downs + young starter to the Cubs for Vitters. We could hope for Castro but even Hendry isn't that crazy.
I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
In AA I trust...I think...maybe.
- February 3, 2010 at 10:19 AM
- mike in boston said...
after watching the Red sox's struggles with their 7th and 8th inning guys i'm convinced Downs would be an excellent late inning lefty specialist on a contending team. his talent is wasted on the Jays.
he's well worth a mid level prospect but i think if he doesn't get traded immediately then it won't be until the deadline. once spring training starts teams will hope that one of their existing guys emerges. that will create a huge logjam in the Jays' BP (which will result in Cito running Carlson out there 3 out of every 4 days ...)
- February 3, 2010 at 10:33 AM
I'm a little surprised at the negative reactions over this signing, when people throw names like Camp, Valdez, and Richmond out there as guys that Gregg could potentially replace. Seriously, Shawn Camp? The dude is 35! It's not like he's going to factor into this team long-term, and his career peripherals (because I'm too lazy to look into advanced metrics) are definitely worse than Gregg's. Merkin put up a 16 IP stretch of good baseball (in 2008), to go along with 51 shit-tacular major league "innings" for a career stat line that makes Camp look like a godsend. Oh yeah, he's gonna be 29 this year, so chances are he's not going to get a whole lot better an time soon. And is anyone gonna lose any sleep over Scott Richmond getting shuffled out of the BP? I mean, good for the overlooked Canadian boy to persevere make it this far, but the dude can't pitch to lefties (except that one awesome game against the Phillies last year), and he's only one year younger than Gregg. Casey Janssen is a HUGE question mark coming into spring training, as his bed-shitting performance last year has quelled any of the hype surrounding his amazing 2007 campaign. Dirk Hayhurst is about the only player mentioned who I'd be dubious about giving Gregg a shot over... but that's based on an extremely small sample size of work on Dirk's part, and I would probably change my tune pretty quickly if Gregg started a hilarious blog of his own.
It's easy to look at the top few names in the Jays BP - along with the success we've had over the past few years - and assume that we're set. But really, Gregg is an improvement over at least 1/3 of the options we currently have (I'd be willing to say half)... and who knows what AA has up his sleeves?
- February 3, 2010 at 11:21 AM
- Ian H. said...
Ack, I'm with you on this one - if he's such a great reliever, how come no other team has signed him yet? Given that his price will come down now, but it's still too much to pay when the Blue Jays already have a fully capable bullpen in place.
- February 3, 2010 at 12:18 PM
I'm with Mike in Boston - I see a deal for a SS that includes a reliever and Overbay. Of course if that's the direction they're headed it just makes the Johnny Mac contract all the more maddening.
- February 3, 2010 at 12:33 PM
- Chris said...
I don't know the intricacies of how compensation picks work, but if there is an option on the contract and the Jays declined that option, then would they even then be eligible for compensation?
- February 3, 2010 at 12:40 PM
hilleraj has a great point, especially considering the fac that dirk hayhurst is having surgery this weeknd will not be an option. we may have a really nice looking pen with
didn't anyone hear handsome tony? he never lies, and is never wrong. i feel fine, and re-assured.

A reliever and Overbay for a SS? Whatever your smokin' please ship me several boxes full - thank you.
AA is looking to get a - good - young - SS - no freakin' way you get that without some serious talent going the other way.
- February 3, 2010 at 4:32 PM
I was thinking a reliever and Overbay as part of the deal but not the complete deal. Depending on the caliber of SS it could include relievers (plural) being sent (maybe as part of a three-way deal) or possibly include a draft pick.

hmmm .... not sure how i feel about dealing away draft picks as a rebuilding team. i mean, think back to how many draft picks Riccardi gave away in trades, and for what? Would you do those deals over again? i sure wouldn't . no sir. trading draft picks in baseball is risky business. that's why you almost never see it happen.
why don't you call WIlner and see what he thinks about it?

- Whitman, Price, and Haddad said...
Typically, in baseball, when you trade a draft pick to a team, the pick is traded back as part of the same deal. This results in no draft picks being traded. I mean, I think that's usually what happens. Yea.

- dave57 said...
Guys give the kid a break you can trade picks in any other sport maybe he's just a newbie to the baseball scene. And who knows when they re-vamp the system maybe they will allow you to trade draft picks.
I could see this being a precursor to a young arm, reliever plus overbay or some other spare part for a mid-range SS prospect or a better 3B or cf prospect. I guess time will tell but I do expect the other shoe to drop

no dave, those were excellent comments. uber wit. no one should be spared from uber wit.

Hey, Overbay isn't the greatest, but his WAR is decent. Granted, he wont be here next season, but i doubt teams will give up much in a deal that included him for $8m...

Nice post! I definitely believe that Alex is playing his cards to deal Jason and Scott during spring training, when teams start realizing their pens are horrible. Also wanted to add that Hayhurst is out for a long time, so it's really 12 guys up for the pen, which plays into Alex's
competitive format which says - nobody gets a free spot, they have to earn it, which I absolutely love.
- February 5, 2010 at 4:29 PM
anyone remember Dennis Lamp? At the time, Lamp signed for a lot of money relatively, and hope was that he could step in and be a saviour for the ninth innning. He was coming off of what, a 9-1 year as a middle reliever, had a good sinker.
Bill Caudill, the inspector, nuff said. We traded griff and collins for this superior stiff, whom we held even higher hopes for than lamp.
So lets put this in perspective now. 2.75 million, and any premium represented is because of the fact he has proven he can step into the ninth and close 23 out of 30 save opportunities. There is no pressure on him, there is no pressure on the jays this season, he's bullpen depth, thats all.
- February 5, 2010 at 4:42 PM
This massive competition for bullpen jobs does not excite me, or make me inclined to believe it will lead to amazing results. Remember a couple years ago when so many pitchers were competing for starting spots (zambrano et al), and they still emerged no better than before. Survival of the fittest only sorts out the best few guys... In this case from a big ol' pool of mediocrity. It doesnt create talent.

- thejulius said...
I'm just not sure what kind of deal we can package together. I mean, with guys out there like Jermaine Dye, Carlos Delgado and Russ Branyan, you'd have to think those 3 guys would have to sign before another team looking for a first baseman would even knock on AA's door looking to deal for Overbay. I'd love to see trades happen that would move guys like Overbay, Encarnacion, Bautista, and Downs out for younger guys, but I think it might have to wait until Spring Training when teams get a better idea of what they have. Until then, we'll have to try to accomodate 31 or so pitchers.

Hello everyone. I've been recently trying to set up netplay for this fun little game. I have the latest version of both the free and retail versions and they both work fine on my PC. I got netplay working for the free version both in connecting to and hosting a server (haven't tried the retail yet).
The issue I'm having are the controls. I have a couple of PS1 and PS2 controllers in nearly perfect working condition. I connect them to my PC using Mayflash's Super Joybox Pro 3 & 5 (the single and 4-port versions, respectively) as well as a generic converter I picked up before I got the Joyboxes. They all work pretty much perfectly for whatever I've used them for so far.
When I tried using them for Windom, I got the same problem on both versions with all three converters and both kinds of controllers on different USB ports Whatever button assigned to the primary weapon executes both it the jump function at the same time. Same for the target change button which executes target change and primary weapon.
I reconfigured the controls several times. Looked at the .ini files and found no overlapping. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Seitan Roulade with Parsley Root Stuffing
We haven't had many celebration-worthy meals of late, instead falling back on many of our comforting favourites from Triumph of the Lentil (especially the lentil lasagne, penne pasta bake and seitan 'steak' with onion and pepper gravy) while I focus my kitchen creativity on baking for my next book. With the release of the Kindle edition of Triumph of the Lentil and it quickly reaching #1 bestseller status in Germany for English language Natural Foods cookbooks, a need for a tasty celebration meal arose.
The Kindle edition is available from Amazon.com, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.fr
Parsley root is a strange looking and delicious vegetable. I grow my own but if you're lucky you might find some of these at a farmer's market or CSA from late summer to early spring, depending on your climate. Growing it is pretty much the same as parsnip, but the seeds sprout a little easier, it's also sometimes sold as "Hamburg parsley".
With this recipe it's possible to have an impressive meal to serve to guests in under an hour. It can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge until baking, perfect when you're having friends over and want to spend time with them rather than rushing around cooking stuff.
This stuffing is really unique and tasty. It's grain-free, so people on gluten-free or grain-free diets could use this instead as stuffing for a nut roast or lentil loaf.
Kitchen time 15-20 minutes. Makes 4 serves. (if you're cooking for less people, the other rolled and tied-up roulades can be kept unbaked in the fridge for up to 5 days and baked when needed). Best served with roasted veggies, miso gravy (recipe below) and a green salad.
Soy-free, Onion- and garlic-free, nightshade-free (depending on your worcestershire sauce ingredients)
New improved baked seitan mixture (makes 4 serves)
Dry ingredients:
1 1/4 cups gluten (vital wheat gluten)
1/3 cup chickpea flour (besan)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (savoury yeast flakes)
1 teaspoon salt (omit if using tamari)
Wet ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegan worcestershire sauce, soy-free tamari or coconut aminos
2 tablespoons oil (olive, sesame or sunflower)
1 cup water
Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients stirring, and then kneading to combine. Leave to rest for at least 5 minutes.
Parsley Root (or celery root, or parsnip) Stuffing
2 cups finely diced parsley root, celery root or parsnip
1/2 cup hazelnut meal or almond meal
2 tablespoons dijon mustard (or 2 teaspoons yellow mustard powder plus 2 tablespoons water)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried
optional 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
optional pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (add if using mustard powder instead of mustard.)
Preheat the oven to 160-200c (320-390f).
Prepare the seitan mixture from the directions above and set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes. Prepare your side dish and stuffing ingredients while it rests and the oven heats up.
Grease a baking sheet and stretch the seitan out into as large a rectangle as you can without it breaking (if you want to make two or four roulades instead of one, divide the mixture into pieces and then stretch it and bake). Place on the sheet and continue to press it out until it gets bigger, without it breaking. It should be less than 1cm (1/2″ thick).
Brush the top with oil and bake for 7 minutes.
Bring a tiny bit of water to the boil in a small pot, then add the parsley root and boil for 5 minutes. Drain.
In a mixing bowl, mix the parsley root, hazelnut meal, mustard, thyme and parsley together.
Place the least browned side of the seitan down on a plate and place the parsley root mixture in the middle third of the rectangle. Roll the shorter end towards the other shorter end, overlapping it a little bit. Tie it up with cotton string and stuff any of the fallen-out stuffing back in it. Leave it seam-side down until you're ready to cook it.
When your roasted veggies have 20 minutes to go, place the seitan on the same tray as them, or a separate greased tray, and brush liberally with oil. Bake for 20 minutes.
Miso Gravy
This gravy really compliments the crispy seitan, which is a little dry on its own, and is delicious with roasted potatoes.
Serves 4. Kitchen time 5 minutes.
Soy-free option, gluten-free option, low fat option, nightshade-free
1 medium onion
4 tablespoons flour (whole barley, spelt, wheat or gluten-free)
2 cups water
3 tablespoons miso*
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh)
1/4 teaspoon dried sage (or 3/4 teaspoon fresh)
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 3/4 teaspoon fresh)
cracked pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Place the onion in a frying pan with a little olive oil, stirring to coat. Put on a medium-high heat and continue to stir until the onions are tender and fragrant and starting to brown. Stir through the flour, then stir through the water, a little at a time so that no lumps form. Add the miso, herbs, pepper and vinegar and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 5 minutes.
*For details on soy-free and gluten-free miso, see this post.

Home-opening series to feature several festivities
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Tigers will start off a weekend of remembering last season's run to the World Series during their home-opening series against the team they swept out of the American League Championship Series last October to get to the Fall Classic.
The team will raise its 2012 AL championship banner Friday before the home opener against the Yankees. Willie Horton, part of the heart of the 1968 World Series championship club, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch to ex-teammate and current Tigers broadcaster Jim Price. Motown legends The Four Tops will sing the National Anthem prior to the 1:05 p.m. ET start.
The team will also hold a moment of silence to remember the late Virgil Trucks, former Tigers pitching great who passed away last month.
The next day, members of the 2012 AL champions will receive their championship rings in a pregame ceremony that will include Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder receiving their 2012 AL Silver Slugger awards.

President Glassner reflects on Asia trip in Oregonian commentary
November 26, 2012
President Barry Glassner recently returned from a trip to Asia designed to deepen ties with alumni and parents, and build new relationships with local leaders, an experience highlighted in a recent Oregonian commentary.
"It was incredibly affirming to witness the strong Lewis & Clark presence in Seoul, Tokyo, and Shanghai," Glassner said. "At the events we held in each of those cities, I met many alumni and friends of the college who are business leaders, or who are barely out of Lewis & Clark and already engaged in exciting careers in Asia."
Just 18 months ago, President Glassner presented a diploma to one young man with whom he spoke while in Tokyo. "Now, he is living in Japan and working as an account executive for a bilingual job-finding service akin to Monster.com," Glassner said. "This young alumnus got his job as a result of his frequent use of that very service. Having noticed him on their company's virtual job board, recruitment scouts invited him to interview; three months later, he was moving to Japan to take his new job."
Glassner also met Jun Ge, a Lewis & Clark Law School graduate who is managing director of Intel China and who hosted the Shanghai event. Other attendees included parents of current students and recent alumni, as well as Dean Robert Klonoff from the law school.
"I was heartened by their strong allegiance to the college and their appreciation for the role that Lewis & Clark played in setting them, or their family members, on their productive paths," Glassner said. "We saw the same level of enthusiasm at our event for high school counselors in Shanghai, a good sign for our continued ability to attract top international students."
With nationally recognized overseas study programs and students from 66 countries on campus, Lewis & Clark has many connections with communities around the world. This trip helped strengthen trans-Pacific college and university relationships, such as the 40-year affiliation between Lewis & Clark and Waseda University in Tokyo, which provides enriching international study opportunities for students and professors from both institutions. During his time in Tokyo, Glassner visited with Vice President Katsuichi Uchida and staff from the Center of International Education at Waseda University.

DOVER — After nearly seven years, the owners of Silvermoon Crêperie have decided to put the restaurant on the market and start a new venture, preferably somewhere warmer.
Chris and Theresa Therrien, who spent most of their lives in New York City, and have worked in the restaurant business there and in New Orleans, moved north to Dover after friends suggested the city to them for the crêperie.
"We love the location, the proximity to Boston, Portland, even Canada and the White Mountains," Chris said.
They opened on Third Street and have had much success, but are simply ready to try something different.
"It is bittersweet," Chris said. "We have such great customers, but we want to make a change in our lives."
Chris said he and his wife started to think about moving last winter when they realized they had seen so many people come and go from their establishment, who have graduated, gotten married and are having babies now.
"We felt like, jeez, we have been here a long time," he said. "And I'm 49 and I think I want to move south," he said, adding that the winters are getting tough for him.
The business only is available for $75,000. Chris said he is willing to train the buyer if they would like to continue to use the rented space as a crêperie.
"It's in such a great location, with the traffic and being downtown," he added.
The sale includes all fixtures and equipment.
Chris wrote on the crêperie's Facebook page that anyone interested in owning the "hip 'Euro' cafe with quirky charm" should contact his real estate agent, Jeffrey D'Angelo at (617) 290-5220 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The crêperie has been closed for the past two weeks for plumbing repairs, maintenance and from the blizzard, but Chris said the restaurant will reopen Feb. 20, and will continue to operate every week Wednesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until it is sold.
"Business has been pretty good," he said. "We just thought it would be better to cut out when the going is good."
The Therriens are interested in staying in the food business wherever the road may take them and said they would like to expand their menu and explore Mediterranean food.
"We would do the crepes still, but I would like to do more," he said.

When it comes to heart disease, women and men are not equal
When C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, became a cardiologist, she quickly learned that heart disease studies focused on male patients, while women were widely viewed as though they were smaller versions of men.
Times have changed.
Online videos
Dr. C. Noel Bairey Merz was a featured guest on The Dr. Oz Show, a popular, national program carried on Fox. Click on these links to see three excerpts from the show:
Here are links to four Dr. Oz "web exclusives" - "Heart disease and what women need to know" - with Dr. Bairey Merz:
Bairey Merz, the director of the Women's Heart Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, says recent research has shown that women who have heart disease experience different symptoms, causes and outcomes than men. She believes that each gender's heart ailments deserve different names. "We are just at the beginning of understanding the differences between the sexes when it comes to heart disease," says Bairey Merz. "The more we find out, the more it becomes clear that men and women can experience different diseases and the medical names for those diseases should reflect the differences. There is enough research to conclude that women and men can experience different types of heart disease.
Bairey Merz believes women's heart disease should be referred as ischemic heart disease. Ischemia is a term that indicates a lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart, resulting in symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath and nausea. Women with ischemic heart disease generally have major arteries that are clear of plaque, but the smaller coronary blood vessels cease to constrict and dilate properly, creating the lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart.
The type of heart ailment that generally affects men should continue to be called coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease (CHD), Bairey Merz says, because men more often suffer from plaque build-up in the large arteries around the heart.
Some of the key findings that point out the heart disease differences between men and women include:
- Women who have a history of irregular menstrual cycles, estrogen deficiencies and polycystic ovary syndrome may have a higher risk of developing heart disease as they age.
- Women can have normal angiograms even when they have ischemic heart disease.
- Women are often told their stress tests are normal or that they have "false positives." Bairey Merz says doctors should pay attention to symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath rather than relying on a stress test score.
- Women who exhibit symptoms of ischemic heart disease can benefit from treatments ranging from proper medication to reduce heart attacks and control symptoms, as well as lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a low-fat diet and exercising regularly.
"We are just at the beginning of understanding the differences between the sexes when it comes to heart disease," Bairey Merz said. "What we need now are large-scale medical studies that identify tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to optimize outcomes for women and men."

February must have been an anomaly, as browser usage in March seems to have reverted to familiar patterns. IE is still losing ground to Firefox, though its lead is still unmistakable; Safari is not threatening any of its competitors, nor is it being threatened from below; Chrome is happily carving out a small niche for itself; and poor Opera can't seem to budge from fifth place. In March, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome were the only browsers to show any positive growth; IE and Opera both fell.
Between February and March, Internet Explorer dropped a significant 0.62 percentage points (from 67.44 percent to 66.82 percent) and Firefox jumped 0.28 percentage points (from 21.77 percent to 22.05 percent). Safari regained almost all it lost in February: moving from 8.02 percent to 8.23 percent. Chrome once again moved further away from Opera: it gained 0.08 percentage points (1.15 percent to 1.23 percent) while Opera dropped from 0.71 percent to 0.70 percent. It's worth noting that IE8 has been out for only two weeks, and it has already managed to double Chrome's market share, despite not yet having been pushed out via Windows Update.
You can see the market share pie for March 2009, according to Net Applications, at the top of the post. As usual, things at Ars (below) look very different: only Safari gained this month; Firefox, IE, Chrome, and Opera all lost share. Firefox continues to dominate here, but the default browsers for Windows and Mac OS X still show their strength. Chrome's lead over Opera is much more significant at Ars, and this month it slightly widened. Being only 0.02 percentage points behind IE, Safari looks poised to take over as the second most popular browser at Ars, though with IE8's release and Chrome for the Mac on the way, this may be as close as it gets.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we're in the midst of a new browser war. Opera 10 and Safari 4 are on the horizon, Chrome is starting to mature, and many, many users continue switching back and forth, unable to decide what their favorite browser is.

Go, Honda, go! Green is good these days and Honda wants to help save the environment by announcing its plans to start mass-producing solar cells for both residential and industrial use. The plant, which will be on the site of a car plant on the southwestern Japanese island of Kyushu, should be able to generate sales of about $40 million to $70 million and power about 8,000 households at its full annual capacity. The cells will be made of non-silicon compound materials that are more energy-efficient to manufacture—they're said to consume half as much energy and generate 50 percent less carbon dioxide during production.

I have written a java application based on two classes. The Application runs perfectly fine when I execute it from the development tool (Eclipse). I have posted the files to my webpage and the applet display, but nothing else works. The ActionListeners don't seem to do anything, but it doesn't seem to be throwing an error. Below is some info if someone can help me debug:
My Site: http://community.wvu.edu/~lcs009/
each class's html page has the following html to start the applet:
<TITLE>Logan's Quiz</TITLE>
Welcome to Logan's Interactive Quiz!:
<applet code="quiz.class" archive = "run_quiz.jar" width="300" height ="300">
more info:
For the quiz page, it should either say "file could not be read" or display option panes for a list of questions. You should be able to use example.txt as the file name which is stored in the same folder on the website.
The scores page should then display additional labels with your score history, the username "logan" should be a good test.

In the cases I mentioned, each record has hundreds or thousands of elements: the pixels in a photo, or patterns in a sound snippet, or web usage data. These records can be regarded as points in high dimensional space. When you look at a points in space, they tend to form clusters, and you can infer a lot by looking at ones nearby.
In fact, I found it quite useful.
I have an irrational need to optimize my Ubuntu installation. I did some investigating and came up with this method, which gives a minimal graphical 1.2 GB install, with gnome, networking, and no applications.

Welcome to the Missouri DD Council Website!
For more than 30 years, Developmental Disabilities Councils have played a critical role at the State and Federal levels in helping all States and Territories develop, improve, and expand the system of services and supports for people with developmental disabilities. Councils were originally designed to study the needs of people with developmental disabilities, but now serve as key advocates in the DD system. The Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council began as the Missouri Advisory Council on Mental Retardation and Community Mental Health Centers with the passage of the Mental Retardation Facilities and Communities Mental Health Centers Construction Act in 1963. Funding was not available until 1970 when federal DD legislation was passed. Federal Reauthorization of the DD Act in 1987 and again in 2000 brought changes that led to the current Council focus and efforts. The Missouri Council has remained in state statute, as well as Federal Law since its inception in 1971, but the focus and role have evolved with changes in State Legislation and Executive Orders by several Governors.
The Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council is a federally- funded, 23-member, consumer-driven council appointed by the Governor. Its mandate under P.L. 106-402, the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, is to assure that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families participate in the design of and have access to needed community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance that promote self-determination, independence, productivity, and integration in all aspects of community life.

Professional Golfer Jeff Klauk Tees Off New Pledge Campaign for People Living with Epilepsy
Golfer is the first to take online Pledge, an outlet for epilepsy patients and caregivers to take action and ask themselves, "Am I really okay?"
ATLANTA, JUNE 18, 2013 — regulated information — Global biopharmaceutical company UCB, Inc. and professional golfer Jeff Klauk today announced the launch of a new Pledge campaign for people with epilepsy and their loved ones. The Pledge empowers the millions of Americans living with epilepsy to take a stand and make a personal commitment to demand more: greater understanding of the condition, better collaboration with their health care team and additional partial-onset seizure control. More information is available at http://www.ourtimeourpledge.com.
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition that affects 3 million Americans and 65 million people worldwide.1 Anyone can develop epilepsy; it occurs across all ages, races and genders. Even though one in three adults knows someone with the disorder, it remains among the least understood chronic medical conditions.1
Jeff Klauk's experience with epilepsy has been a winding journey, dating back to 2006 when he first began experiencing seizures. He had his first partial-onset seizure in 2010, but did not get an official epilepsy diagnosis until 2011. Klauk then began working with an epileptologist — a neurologist that specializes in epilepsy2 — to get additional control of the condition, and was started on a new treatment regimen that included the addition of the antiepileptic drug VIMPAT® (lacosamide) C-V to manage his partial-onset seizures. The most common adverse reactions reported with VIMPAT® include dizziness, headache, nausea, and double vision.
While Klauk's partial-onset seizures are typically 30-second periods where he spaces out and chuckles, partial-onset seizures vary from person to person and can also present as twitching or a sudden emotional swing.
"Almost 60 percent of people who have seizures experience partial-onset seizures,3 and while some have trademark characteristics like Jeff's that make them easier to identify, others might be barely perceptible, even to the person having them," said Kelly Simontacchi, Ph.D., Medical Director, CNS at UCB. "Even the most subtle partial-onset seizures cannot and should not be taken lightly."
A critical step for people experiencing partial-onset seizures may be to seek care from a specialist, who can help them manage their condition.
"My personal Pledge was going the extra mile to seek out the best health care team I could find and have the most productive conversations with them as possible," said Klauk, whose first partial-onset seizure occurred as he was driving his family to church. "Epilepsy is not something to hide from. I encourage others affected by partial-onset seizures to speak candidly with their doctors and loved ones, and go online to take their own Pledge."
UCB's Pledge campaign isn't just for those living with epilepsy. Caregivers, who are often on the front lines of epilepsy management with their loved ones, are also invited to take the Pledge.
"I took the Pledge for the one I love the most, and constantly strive to better understand the condition and how it impacts Jeff," said Shanna Klauk, Jeff's wife and the one he credits as his 'anchor' in helping him to manage his condition. "Standing outside Jeff's condition gives me a perspective that he doesn't have. The vantage point of a family member or loved one can be invaluable to someone living with epilepsy, both in the doctor's office and in everyday life."
UCB, a leader in epilepsy and the maker of VIMPAT®, an add-on medication used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy, is committed to transforming the lives of people living with severe diseases through conducting scientific research, developing treatments and creating programming for health care professionals and patients. The company's latest initiative is a simple but important step in helping the epilepsy community obtain additional or improved seizure control and encourages the public to shift their mindset, take action and support a nationwide movement of people ready to do more. Pledges can range from improving communication, educating friends and family about epilepsy or encouraging others not to settle for their current level of seizure control. More information and tips for living the Pledge can be found online.
VIMPAT® (lacosamide) is a prescription medicine that is used with other medicines to treat partial onset seizures in people 17 years of age and older with epilepsy.
VIMPAT® may not be for everyone. Ask your healthcare provider if VIMPAT® is right for you.
Antiepileptic drugs, including VIMPAT®, may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have new or worsening symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts about self-harm that you have never had before or may be worse than before.
Do not stop taking VIMPAT® without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping VIMPAT® suddenly can cause serious problems. Stopping seizure medicine suddenly in a patient who has epilepsy can cause seizures that will not stop.
VIMPAT® may also cause you to feel dizzy, have double vision, feel sleepy, or have problems with coordination and walking. You should not drive, operate machinery or do other dangerous activities until you know how VIMPAT® affects you.
VIMPAT® may cause you to have an irregular heartbeat or may cause you to feel faint. Call your healthcare provider if you have a fast, slow, or pounding heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded, or if you fainted or feel like you are going to faint.
VIMPAT® is a federally controlled substance (C-V) because it can be abused or lead to drug dependence. Keep your VIMPAT® in a safe place to protect it from theft. Do not give it to anyone else, because it may harm them.
In rare cases, VIMPAT® may cause a serious allergic reaction that may affect your skin or other parts of your body such as your liver or blood cells. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have a skin rash or hives, fever or swollen glands that do not go away, shortness of breath, swelling of the legs, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, or dark urine.
Before taking VIMPAT®, tell your healthcare provider if you have or have had depression, mood problems, or suicidal thoughts or behavior; have heart, kidney or liver problems; have abused prescription medicines, street drugs or alcohol in the past, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Common Adverse Reactions
In clinical trials, the most common side effects seen with VIMPAT® were dizziness, headache, nausea, and double vision.
Talk to your healthcare provider about other possible side effects with VIMPAT®. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see additional patient information in the Medication Guide at the end of the full prescribing information. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your condition or your treatment. Visit http://www.Vimpat.com for more information.
About Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting approximately 65 million people worldwide and 3 million people in the U.S. —making it more common than autism, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined. Anyone can develop epilepsy; it occurs across all ages, races and genders and is defined as two or more unprovoked seizures. Uncontrolled seizures and medication side effects pose challenges to independent living, learning and employment, so the goal of epilepsy treatment is seizure freedom with minimal side effects. More than 1 million patients in the U.S. continue to have seizures despite initial therapy, and more than 800,000 patients in the U.S. continue to have seizures despite treatment with two or more therapies. New medications and treatments give hope to those living with uncontrolled seizures.1,4

EXCLUSIVE! Demi Lovato's BFF, Tiffany Thornton, Tells Us Demi Needs A Christian Guy Who Will Challenge Her!
Demi doesn't lack when it comes to turning heads and getting a guy's attention, but she hasn't had much luck sustaining a relationship longer than a couple months. Her Sonny With A Chance costar and BFF, Tiffany Thornton, tells HollywoodLife.com who would be her perfect match!
We'd like more than anything to see Demi Lovato with a guy that is not only her type, but knows how to treat her the way she deserves. After failed relationships with guys like Joe Jonas and Miley Cyrus' older brother, Trace Cyrus, BFF Tiffany Thornton told us at Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood Party Oct. 1 who 18-year-old Demi needs to date.
"I think Demi needs to be with someone who has a very strong faith," she said. "A guy that respects her and can make her laugh. She gets bored easily. We both are Christians. We both love the Lord. For us, being able to focus on that helps a lot."
It's been rumored that Demi had her eye on R&B artist Trey Songz, but that has since fizzled with no reports of anything following her public statement that she thought he was hot. Regardless, we know Demi will end up with a guy who is her perfect match. She just has to get through kissing all the frogs before finding her prince!
Who do YOU think Demi should date? Let us know!

Arizona Group Sends Piece of Home to Troops
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2007 - What started out as a way for an Arizona Army mom to support her deployed son has turned into a nonprofit organization that sends about 2,500 care packages to servicemembers each month.
"Packages From Home gives to our (servicemembers) in harm's way, which would be Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, Cuba and the Sudan, the necessary things that they would like to have to make their stay more comfortable and to give them a bit of home," Kathleen Lewis, the group's founder, said.
Packages From Home is a member of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with members of the military and their families at home and abroad.
The group's efforts have earned it the Arizona Governor's Commission on Service and Volunteerism 2006 Volunteer Service Award. The Volunteer Service Awards were established in 2002 to recognize and thank Arizonans who have given their time and talents to help solve social problems, according to a news release from Gov. Janet Napolitano's office.
"The strength, will and determination of the thousands of volunteers throughout Arizona who tirelessly give of their time and energy should be an inspiration to everyone," Napolitano said in the release. "I am proud to honor the individuals, groups and businesses whose exceptional work and dedication serve to strengthen Arizona and improve the lives of its citizens."
Lewis will accept the award on behalf of Packages From Home on April 27.
Packages From Home was born in March 2004 when Kathleen Lewis learned from her son, Army Sgt. Christian Lewis, that there were other soldiers in his unit not receiving anything from back home. She and some friends decided to adopt his unit and the organization began shipping about 30 packages a month.
As Packages From Home begins its fourth year, that number is up to about 2,500 packages a month, Lewis said.
"The holiday months, we try and send 5,000 a month," she said. "Last year we were right at 15,000 packages for the holidays."
The packages contain everything from food and necessities to entertainment and comfort items. The group even recently sent a six-foot fiberglass dog bone-shaped swimming pool full of goodies for military working dogs in Iraq.
For requests for assistance that don't fit Packages From Home's mission, Lewis said she relies on the group's America Supports You membership.
"Networking within (America Supports You) is terrific," she said. "If my group doesn't fit someone's needs, I certainly know a group that will fit their needs."
As a member of America Supports You, the group also takes every opportunity to spread the word about the Defense Department's program to Arizona's large seasonal tourist population.
"Very often while they're here, they help Packages From Home," she said. "When they go home, they want to help their home state, and I'm able to say, 'Go to America Supports You.'"
Lewis added that she's learned more about what the servicemembers face overseas beyond what's conveyed in the news through the membership as well.
"I've become a much better American by listening to (America Supports You) to understand what's going on," she said.

At the heart of every modern computer is the CPU – the central processing unit. For several decades the CPU has been the main focus of the computer, with the name of the CPU sometimes used as the name for the computer itself. In the 1990s Windows users were introduced to the "Pentium", and Apple would go on to release a range of G3, G4 and G5 computers. The CPU has become synonymous with the actual computer, the definitive part of the machine.

Some of the pre-release buzz around The Irishman was … skeptical. Yes, director Martin Scorsese remains one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the world, but wasn't he repeating himself by making another mob movie starring Robert De Niro? How could he justify a three-and-a-half-hour running time? And what about reports that the film was using de-aging techniques to allow De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino to play younger versions of their characters in the film? Was Scorsese's character-and-performance-driven approach compatible with VFX-heavy filmmaking?

As long as there have been cables, there's been someone willing to take a cable, dip it in liquid nitrogen and polish it on a maiden's knee, then sell it for 17 times the going rate. This sort of chicanery serves to make most people cautious about different and expensive cables bearing extravagant claims of specialness, usually quite rightly.

The DaVinci Resolve to AVID round trip is an industry-standard workflow used by many professional DITs, assistant editors, and post houses. This tutorial is ideal for assistant editors who are beginning an assembly of a show while production is still underway. This process uses DaVinci Resolve to create master clips that you can ingest in AVID, without consolidating or transcoding your media. This is because the proxies you'll create in DaVinci Resolve are in the MXF OP-Atom codec, which allows you to drop them into your Avid MediaFiles folder and begin editing immediately.

UK suspends military cooperation with Russia
LONDON (AP) — British Foreign Secretary William Hague says the U.K. is suspending military cooperation with Russia in light of the crisis over Ukraine.
Speaking shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty to annex Crimea from neighboring Ukraine, Hague told British lawmakers on Tuesday that it is regrettable that Putin is choosing a path of isolation in the annexation of Crimea and denying Russian and Crimean citizens of a partnership with the international community.
Hague said the U.K. is suspending military export licenses to Russia, has canceled naval exercises and suspended a proposed Royal Navy ship visit to Russia.
He said this is not the relationship Britain wants with Russia, but one it is being forced to have.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Pricing Revealed
The Cherokee returns at $22,995
Pricing has been released for the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, available in the third quarter of 2013. With a starting price of hundreds less than the Liberty and more fuel economy, safety and technology features, and improved ride and handling, the Jeep Cherokee sets itself up competitively to enter the mid-size SUV segment. Let's get straight to the off-road stuff. The 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has best-in-class Trail Rated 4x4 capability. With off-road wheel flares, skid plates, off-road suspension, an increased ride height, Jeep Active Drive Lock 4x4 system with low range and locking rear axle, new Selec-Speed Control with Hill-ascent Control and Hill-descent Control, full-size spare tire, all-weather slush floor mats, unique front and rear fascias (that contribute to aggressive 29.8-degree approach and 32.1-degree departure angles), and many more standard and optional equipment choices, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee could make for a fun and equipped off-road SUV for those who want a turn-key, trail-ready, factory-reliable rig. Don't be surprised to find these trail rated Jeeps atop the same hill climb or trail end as other heavily modified off-road vehicles.
So, back to the pricing. Listed below are the U.S. MSRPs for each of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee trim levels offered – Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk:
Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x2: $22,995
