Sony is expanding its line of professional video options with the introduction of a new high-definition video production system. The HVR-Z1U camcorder and HVR-M10U VTR form the core of an entry-level HD acquisition and playback solution, designed to provide video professionals with a flexible and affordable migration from standard definition infrastructures to the rapidly expanding world of HD.
The HVR-Z1U HDV 1080 camcorder can record HDV, DVCAM, and DV images at 60i, 50i, 30, 25, or 24 frames per second, in either SD or HD. This switchable 60/50 capability allows videographers to use just one camcorder to meet an array of client needs.
The new camcorder uses three Super HAD, 1/3-inch, 16:9 native CCDs. Combined with a 12X Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens and Sony's new 14 bit A/D with Digital Extended Processor (DXP), the HVR-Z1U's advanced design allows more light to reach each pixel in the imager, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity. In addition to high-quality image capabilities, the HVR-Z1U includes features and capabilities designed to make the camcorder a professional production tool. Key features include:
The HVR-M10U model is a lightweight, compact HDV 1080 VTR capable of recording and playback of HDV 1080, DVCAM, and DV SP, as well as playback of video recorded in 720/30P. In addition to allowing backward compatibility to the standard definition DV world, the 1080 recorded image can also be down-converted to SD output mode directly from the VTR or camcorder in the digital or analog domain.
Designed in conjunction with the new camcorder and VTR is Sony's recommended professional media for HDV applications, DigitalMaster videotape. These 63-minute cassettes use Sony's AME II Technology and its dual-active magnetic layers. The new AME II manufacturing process employs Hyper Evaticle IV magnetic grains, improved lubricants, and a refined Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) layer. Sony says the DigitalMaster exhibits greater packing density of magnetic grains, higher retentivity, higher output, and lower noise. The result is a more robust tape with fewer dropouts and errors.
A critical aspect of any professional video production is compatibility with an array of non-linear editing solutions. Sony's HDV production system can achieve interoperability with editing software from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Canopus, Pinnacle, Ulead, and Sobey, as well as Sony's own Vegas 5 software, which can handle 1080 HDV signals, Sony says. The HVR-Z1U and the HVR-M10U are planned to be available in February, for about $4,900 and $3,700, respectively.

Australian Pelican
The two Australian Pelicans in the wetlands area of Wild Sea were found in the wild with injuries and brought to Melbourne Zoo for treatment. They have remained at the Zoo ever since. Although pelicans are found over large parts of Australia, for many city-dwellers, the Wild Sea at the Zoo is a rare opportunity to see these delightful birds.
Australian Pelicans are not a species presently at risk. However, many individual birds are at risk from fishing waste: hooks, fishing line and nets abandoned in areas where these and other marine wildlife live. Your local council or community can play a big part in protecting marine wildlife by installing Seal the Loop bins to collect fishing waste and help reduce rates of marine wildlife entanglement.
Meeting the pelicans at Melbourne Zoo is an important way to connect with the animals of Australia, and to learn about the Zoo's conservation programs, especially those aimed at conserving threatened native species. The money you spend helps to support the Zoo's conservation programs.
Australian Pelicans are found throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Indonesia. They will travel great distances to find food and may form large flocks of hundreds of birds. These flocks will sometimes work together to capture food, driving fish into shallow water where they can more easily be caught.
Pelicans have very wide wingspans: up to 2.6 metres. Their most characteristic feature of course is their long bill (40–50cm) and throat pouch.

A campaign has been launched by Councils across Lincolnshire in an attempt to crack down on housing benefit fraud and error.
A Parliamentary report which looked at the annual expenditure of Housing Benefit in the UK found that most councils were affected by claimant error or deliberate fraud.
In Lincolnshire the annual spend on Housing Benefit is £160,000,000, for around 52,500 households.
Lincolnshire authorities have joined forces and are working together to support the Government's bid to cut the cost of fraud and error.
The Lincolnshire campaign, called 'Tell Us' runs until March 2016.
The campaign's key message to Housing Benefit claimants is simple. "If you claim Housing Benefit, Tell Us, about all changes in your circumstances such as: Money coming into the home; people who live in your home; savings and investments.
All Lincolnshire authorities will be checking their residents Housing Benefit claims.
As a priority, the initial focus will be on those considered a high risk of not having reported changes which means they may have received too much Housing Benefit which will have to be paid back.
Whilst most claims will be genuine and correct, the review is essential in order to find those that are wrong.
Some residents may have simply forgotten to let their Council know that they have had a change in their circumstances, such as children moving out or leaving full time education, getting a job or a pay increase. Changes such as these should be brought to the attention of their district or borough Council as soon as possible to avoid claiming the wrong amount of Housing Benefit.
Now is the time to notify the Council of a change before fraud investigators take more serious action which can include prosecution.
SKDC's Benefits Manager, Heather Green, said: "Anyone who claims Housing Benefit and has had a change in their circumstances that might affect the amount of benefit they receive should contact their local District or Borough Council immediately. Most residents will be claiming the correct amount, and therefore do not need to worry.
"However it is an offence not to declare changes in circumstances, and anyone found to be in receipt of Housing Benefit that they are not entitled to may have to pay back the money and could face court action or financial penalty. Tell Us. We want to help claimants avoid being in such a position."
To report a change in your circumstances, contact your local council now:
Boston Borough Council - 01205 314202
City of Lincoln Council - 01522 873355
East Lindsey District Council – 01507 601111
North Kesteven District Council - 01529 414155 (or 01522 699699 if calling from a Lincoln number)

We didn't grow up watching much professional wrestling, so we don't have the solid foundation in its history as some of you might ... but we'll confess, for a writer/reporter, being brought into an ongoing WWE "feud" without your knowledge has to be quite the career highlight.
Darren Rovell, formerly of ESPN and now at CNBC, wrote a story last week questioning whether WWE shareholders could have an action against the company now that it is pretending that owner Vince McMahon was "killed" in a car bomb last week. (Apparently, there's some sort of storyline involving McMahon and a blown up limo and ... jeez, we get tired just typing this.) When he emailed the company for comment, they accused Rovell of being a suspect.
As far as speculation as to who may have committed this heinous act against "Mr. McMahon," the WWE has not ruled out any suspects, including CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell. The WWE would like to thank CNBC for its concern over the "Mr. McMahon" mystery and we would like to remind your viewers to continue to tune into WWE's Monday Night RAW, cable's top rated program on USA Network (a division of NBCU), to keep abreast of the latest developments in this ongoing situation.
We are so tired of sports business reporters assassinating fictional owners of fictional sports leagues. Goddamned liberal media.

Hope Villa - a romantic haven in Christchurch
Safe haven at Hope Villa just out of Christchurch - after series of earthquakes
- by Kip Brook, Word of Mouth Media NZ
This was the most relaxing, cathartic and re-energising but surreal holiday ever, after a devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
We are shading ourselves from the scorching sun under the terracotta tile-roof summer house at a stunning plush luxury lodge - Hope Villa - 20 minutes south east of Christchurch international airport.
This feels like such a romantic haven and the name of the place is so apt after a terrible earthquake on February 22 killed 182 people and caused widespread damage, destroying much of the inner city. But Christchurch has had its share of tragedy; the earth will settle down and once more millions will stay and pass through this lovely revamped city.
So this is dream-like at Hope Villa. We are in the sanctity of the quiet countryside. Birds are chirping, bees busy among an avenue of lavender in a gorgeous manicured garden.
Hope Villa lodge is so beautiful – a neutral pastel palette in a warm and inviting lounge; fluffy pillows piled up in the cosiest big bed ever. We loved that villa bed so much.
This place is a Mecca for honeymooners and Aussies skiers. It is heaven on earth – but 20 minutes away in the city we see so much devastation and ruin as the February earthquake left its mark brutally shaking buildings to the ground. The rebuild is expected to cost $30billion.
So many grand older heritage-listed buildings have collapsed leaving streets in rubble destroying the heart and soul of the city and the people who live here. But out of the silt, cracks, mortar, broken bricks and shattered wood, a new Christchurch will rise again.
For 150 years this has been the most English and most peaceful of cities. It is one of the safest and best places to visit and rest in majestic New Zealand. Christchurch has had its share of earthquakes and will soon – in a month or two - be safe and ready to attract millions of visitors once more.
This is one of the first tourist stories out of Christchurch since February 22's big earthquake. Christchurch city's tourism industry has taken its first steps towards recovery with the removal of non-essential travel restrictions and reopening of some core services.
Christchurch is still under a state of emergency and many businesses remain closed, key local tourism attractions are re-opening. The airport is busy as ever again as thousands of people flock to help in the recovery.
Our hosts Terry and Maurice tell us about the earthquake; and their own experiences but they say they are lucky they had no structural at the Villa. They slip away and we sip on chilled champagne they gifted to us; we listen to dulcet sounds of Norah Jones floating across the room. Our shoes fly off; feet up; and cuddle in on the couch...this is magic.
In the morning Terry brings over a breakfast of fresh fruit and yoghurt, salmon, spinach and egg, a fruit smoothie and cup of tea. She is a great cook. We savour the yummy tastes and now raring to seize the day.
First they produce bikes and we peddle down a country bike trail to the Little River village for a coffee. The untouched countryside is so quiet and picturesque. We visit a Maori marae (community meeting place) known as Wairewa. It is tidy and a great place for gatherings.
In the afternoon, we stroll nine holes of golf at tranquil Tai Tapu without threatening the course record. We sip a buttery Forrest chardonnay in the sunshine and chat to locals how they cope with the earthquakes.
They are stoic; they are the lucky ones. Others didn't make it. People here adapt to a new and eerie reality. Life will slowly return to normal. People are resilient in the rebuild and recovery. They say at least 10,000 homes need to be demolished. Each day the impact sheets home.
The name Hope Villa was so appropriate as Christchurch rebuilds for a new tomorrow. Terry and Maurice were great hosts. Their adorable chocolate Labrador, Berlin, was snoozing under a fruit tree as we drove quietly away to the airport, fully recharged and so happy after the best ever short luxury holiday.

hello friends… this card has been sitting on my desk since FRIDAY!
I almost did not want to post it… today I felt I should start a new card but I broke out in hives once again and my head is exploding. None of my allergy medicines seams to work. So I decided to post the card anyways. The reason why I am not confident with it is, I have found that the lines of Tilda's hair stamped off much thicker than usually and the area is small so I did not get the high contrast of my usual coloring done at all. The same happened with her shirt. The image was colored almost completely with a variety of PRISMACOLOR pencils – except the face. Maybe this could also be the reason why iam feeling unsecure about the card.
Stamps: Tilda with binocular
Tilda's sea background
Sentiment: Whiff Of Joy
Papers: My Minds Eye.

Try the New 2012 Edition of the Quiz
Finally! The first update since 2004. Now much more objective, with more reasonable bigger government options, and some creative options thrown in that you probably haven't heard of. Take the test and see what you think. This is still a work in progress. I have bugs to fix and questions to add. Please email me or leave comments on the blog about any errors, omissions, or suggestions you might have.
If you are trying to test your views against others who have taken the classic political quiz, you can still get to it here. (For those new to here, the classic quiz attempted to measure emotion. This made the quiz seem biased. It also didn't have enough answer possibilities for many.)
Political Quiz Statistics
See how other people scored. Overall scatter plots and question by question breakdowns for each area of the map. Statistics for the new Version 7 are updated frequently -- and need to be since we're still working on getting up to statistical significance. One of these days I want to do some correlation studies as well...
Result Screens
Have you taken this quiz in the past but forgotten the recommended links and books? You can reach your result page without retaking the quiz by clicking the appropriate link below. You can also see the recommendations given to people who scored differently from you.
Stimulate Constructive Political Debate
"My side is right!" " Their side is wrong!" "They lied!" "Blah! Blah! Blah!"
This is no way to run a country. More nuance is in order.
The Enhanced-Precision Political Quiz makes it clear that there is a wide range of possible options for every issue. And the Nolan Chart on which it is based makes it clear that there are at least two ranges of possible opinion overall.
At least two. Though the Nolan Chart is a huge improvement over the limited Left-Right spectrum, it is still a projection of a wider space of options. The Quiz herein samples that wider space with creative possibilities outside the usual debates, ranging from more universal military service without a draft to unconditional government money as a replacement for most welfare programs. The result screens reveal yet more possibilities ranging from easy ways to stop global warming to voting systems which allow us to consider more options at the polling place.
This site now exists not to push any particular party or ideology, but to stimulate creative political thought. If you are an educator teaching social studies, history or political science, have your students take the test and prepare for lively discussion afterwards. Likewise, if you are on a forum and want to uplift your discussions out of parroting the usual talking points, use this quiz as a poll.
Finally, if you know of a political party, organization, or think tank which deserves mention in some of the result screens, contact me.

For the most part, New York City has had no problem expressing its distaste for Guy Fieri's new Times Square mega-restaurant, Guy's American Kitchen and Bar.The New York Times was especially brutal.
But there's at least one media personality that thinks Fieri is doing it right. Bloomberg's Tom Keene had nothing but praise for Guy's after he visited the restaurant week. The radio host documented it all on his Facebook page.
Here's what Keene wrote (the post has been edited for clarity):
I promised a road-trip to Times Square and Guy Fieri's much maligned restaurant. First, it was wonderful to walk into Times Square like a tourist. It has been years, and it is a very very special place. Yes, it is all tourists, but it is such an important statement of American dynamism. For all of us and for an entrepreneurial upstart out of Columbus, Ohio like Fieri.
The food: jalapeno margarita where you could actually taste the fire in it, with less salt. Malibu baked oysters where you could actually taste the damn oyster, with less salt, better than the last three I have had from chi-chi restaurants…Pork shank that was perfect portioned, with a sauce that was OK-hey-great but with truly interesting vegetables and rice, and less salt, unlike Bubba Gumps and the Hard Rock within shouting distance.
ZZ Top and Lovely Rita from Sgt. Peppers? Plain Guy margarita, duex? Duex? And Ashley the waitress from North Carolina is nailing the service, hey Guy, let her wear plaid! No dessert, too full. Guy hats for Sara and Scarlett, Ozark Mtn and Boston, Tom Scholz and Boston! Are you kidding? $6 16 oz. PBRs? I have never seen Fieri on TV. The place is brand new, ambitious and creates 150 to 200 jobs in the tourist nexus of New York City. Get over it Food Philistines. Fieri is trying to do American basic with a bit of flare…Ashley, I'll have another…I'm walking.
So chalk one up for Fieri.
We're just pleased to find out Keene likes ZZ Top.

Headstone: Unknown, Nelson Grove Cemetery (Est. 1875), near Woodbine, Cooke County, Texas. Photograph by Herstoryan. Houston, Texas. 2007
Nelson Grove cemetery is a rural cemetery about 9 miles east of Gainesville, Texas. The first burial was a 14 year old girl named Mollie Nelson who died in 1875 from pneumonia and the measles.
My 3rd great grandparents, Madison D. and Harriet (Miller) Lynch, also died in 1875. Harriet died 08 Mar 1875 and Madison died a few weeks later on 06 May 1875. They left 5 children orphaned. My great great grandmother, Alice Louise (Lynch) Creel, was only four years old at the time.
According to the historical marker on site, the cemetery and surrounding land was deeded to the Cooke County judge in 1877 for use as a "school, church, and burying ground." Several members of the Lynch family are buried in this cemetery. It is unknown whether Madison and Harriet are buried here or on their land. The cemetery wasn't donated for public use until 2 years after they died.
However, some researchers have said that they are buried at Nelson Grove Cemetery which is entirely likely. Madison owned 80 acres of the J. Banning land grant and 160 acres of the Elizabeth Spencer land grant which bordered the Nelson's land. R. C. Nelson was appointed administrator of the Estate of Madison D. Lynch after he died. It is entirely possible that Madison and Harriet are buried near R. C. Nelson's daughter, Mollie in that shady grove that later became Nelson Grove Cemetery.
The stone pictured above is one of several unmarked stones located next to the Lynch family graves. Could one of these stones belong to Madison and Harriet? Mollie Nelson's grave is also "unmarked."

A Fall River native and respected superior court judge who clashed with the Bristol County District Attorney's Office three years ago during a murder trial has been appointed to preside over Aaron Hernandez's court case.
A Fall River native and respected superior court judge who clashed with the Bristol County District Attorney's Office three years ago during a murder trial has been appointed to preside over Aaron Hernandez's court case.
Defense lawyers and civil attorneys who have argued cases before Bristol County Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh praise her as an intelligent and tough, but fair-minded, jurist who moves cases along and uses a deep knowledge of case law to issue well-cited, legally sound rulings.
"I have done several first-degree murder cases with Judge Garsh, and I say confidently that, if she is not indeed the sharpest and most intelligent judge on the superior court bench, then she has to be one of the top five," said J. Drew Segadelli, a defense lawyer who has represented defendants in several murder cases in southeastern Massachusetts.
Kevin Reddington, another high-profile defense attorney who has appeared often before Garsh, said she is "one of the best in the state" and "very reasonable to deal with it."
"She's very objective. She doesn't swing to the defense. She doesn't swing to the government. She plays it right down the middle," Reddington said. "I don't think that there could be a better judge assigned to this case."
But the Bristol County District Attorney's Office was less willing to shower Garsh, 66, with praise.
First Assistant District Attorney William McCauley was surprised when he was informed last Wednesday that Garsh had been assigned to the Hernandez murder case. McCauley paused and declined to comment.
On Friday, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said: "At this time, I'm not going to comment."
In June 2010, McCauley — who is now a lead prosecutor in the Hernandez case — accused Garsh of being antagonistic toward prosecutors during the murder trial of George Duarte, who was subsequently convicted of shooting a 15-year-old boy to death during a 2008 New Year's Eve party in New Bedford.
After the three-week trial — which featured more than 80 witnesses — McCauley told the New Bedford Standard-Times that Garsh issued unfair rulings on evidence, which McCauley added, "was repeatedly limited or excluded by a trial judge who exhibited antagonism to the commonwealth's case throughout the course of the trial."
McCauley said Garsh appeared to have had no background in a murder trial like Duarte's, and added that the district attorney's office expected "more from the witnesses and judges who hear these most serious cases."
Garsh declined to comment at the time, citing the rules of professional conduct prohibiting judges from discussing cases that could be argued on appeal. Garsh could not be reached for comment for this story. She did not return messages left for her Friday at the Bristol County Superior Clerk's Office and Judge's Lobby.
Segadelli and Reddington defended Garsh, saying McCauley's criticisms were "unfounded" and "extremely unfair."
"Judges can't get up and defend themselves from the criticism, which is part of the nature of the profession," Segadelli said. "But she is extremely astute and always fair."
Garsh's sense of fairness will ensure that not only Hernandez, 23 — the former New England Patriots star tight end accused of murdering Odin Lloyd on June 17 — receives a fair trial, but also that witnesses, the prosecution and public will have their rights respected, said Douglas Sheff, president of the Massachusetts Bar Association.
"I think she's the perfect judge for this case. She's extremely thoughtful and is among the highest regarded judges on the bench," said Sheff, a Boston injury attorney who has argued civil cases before Garsh. Sheff said Garsh knows "how to control a courtroom," adding that he believes she will balance all the competing interests during Hernandez's trial, which is not expected to be scheduled for at least another year, if not longer.
"She is going to figure out a way to be fair to everyone," Sheff said.
Barbara J. Rouse, chief justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court, assigned Garsh to the Hernandez case on Sept. 17. Garsh did not waste any time on the case. On Sept. 19, Garsh ordered prosecutors to respond by Sept. 30 to a motion filed by Hernandez's lawyers that seeks to prohibit all parties from issuing extra-judicial statements on the case.
Segadelli, who said Garsh recently denied a motion he filed seeking to overturn a client's conviction in a first-degree murder case, said Garsh issues her rulings in timely fashion.
"In my case, she wrote a long finding of fact and conclusion based on good sound evidence," Segadelli said. "I wasn't happy about it, but she calls them like she sees them. That's all you can ask out of a judge."
"She's pretty tough as far as managing her schedule," Reddington added. "Her opinions are issued quickly after the hearings and they are very well thought out. She holds herself to the same standard as the attorneys."
Former Gov. William Weld nominated Garsh to the superior court bench in January 1993. The Governor's Council unanimously approved her nomination a month later.
Garsh began her legal career in 1973 as a clerk for U.S. Justice Levin H. Campbell at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston. From 1975 to 1993, Garsh worked as a private attorney for the Boston law firm Bingham, Dana & Gould, where she specialized in communications law and constitutional litigation. She also took on cases pertaining to tax, banking, commercial, securities and criminal law.
Garsh served as director of the Women's Bar Association of Massachusetts from 1988 to 1990 and was the chairwoman of the Board of Editors for the Boston Bar Journal in 1992.
Born in Fall River, Garsh graduated from B.M.C. Durfee High School in 1965 and is the daughter of the late Henry and Rita Speier. Garsh wrote an article for the Massachusetts Bar Review in January 2010 where she said her father received a doctorate degree in law from Heidelberg University in Germany, but added that he fled "Nazi storm troopers" and arrived in Fall River, where he found work in a textile mill.
Garsh wrote that her father, who had been trained to be a civil law judge, received a tie pin, depicting the scales of justice, that she keeps on her desk. She wrote: "Having these miniature scales in my lobby acts as a constant reminder that my task is to do justice and that the trappings of justice are no guarantee of the presence of justice."
Before attending Harvard Law School in the early 1970s, Garsh spent a year in Johannesburg, South Africa, researching and writing for the Financial Mail, a news weekly. In March 1970, Garsh wrote an article for The Herald News on her experiences in Apartheid-era South Africa, which she described as "physically beautiful and morally reprehensible."
The daughter and granddaughter of immigrants, Garsh has presided at several naturalization ceremonies aboard the USS Massachusetts at Battleship Cove. In one ceremony, at her request, the superior court interpreters translated the phrase "My Fellow Americans, Welcome" into 19 different languages, including Cambodian, Portuguese and Farsi.
In her remarks to new citizens, Garsh said she stresses that "we all share responsibility to work for the cause of liberty, justice and equal opportunity."

Ben Cherington plays blame game
NEW YORK — You can see in his eyes and in his demeanor and in his body language how badly Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington feels about this season.
He has done mea culpas about his lack of offseason moves, which left Boston's pitching rotation short, and about things he could have done differently to improve a roster that was Red Sox Light.
But nobody should have only one season to prove themselves. With the complete backing of ownership, he will return to give it another try.
He deserves the chance to rebuild this team, because with 27 players on the disabled list and 56 players on the roster, how could it possibly have succeeded?
Cherington's first order of business likely will be to end the managerial tenure of Bobby Valentine . . . after one year.
Cherington wouldn't talk about that before the season finale against the Yankees Wednesday night amid speculation that Valentine is gone — a report by CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman said that Valentine would be fired at the conclusion of the season.
"I'm not gonna talk about it,'' Cherington said. "I've said many times, Bobby is with the team until the end of the season and then we'll talk about it at the end of the season.
"When the results are this at the final days of the year we'd better all look in the mirror and figure out what went wrong and what our contribution to that was. Bobby said things he wished he could have done better as a manager, and his job is to deliver results. As GM, my job is to deliver results and help build a roster to help win games. Together, we didn't get it done.''
There's no doubt that Cherington and Valentine were like oil and water. They tried to work things out, but while they had peaceful, constructive moments, there weren't enough of them.
Cherington's roster left Valentine having to perform a daily miracle. After the deal with the Dodgers Valentine was expected to win games? How fair was that?
Cherington also seemed to grow tired of Valentine's statements, particularly on talk radio, which often got him in trouble. And let's cut to the chase — Valentine wasn't his guy.
Valentine had problems with the coaches from the Terry Francona regime, namely bullpen coach Gary Tuck and bench coach Tim Bogar. It was an ongoing issue, and when Valentine said on WEEI that a couple of his coaches undermined him, it shouldn't have been a major shock to Cherington, who claimed he never had heard that sentiment, when everyone else associated with the team had.
"He expressed his feeling and that's his feeling,'' Cherington said. "If he feels that way, I'm sorry he feels that way. I don't have examples that would lead to that. That's his feeling. I'm not in his office all the time. Not in the clubhouse all the time. I don't know exactly what he's referring to. He has a right to his opinion and to express it. If he feels that way, I feel bad.''
Cherington did acknowledge that he and Valentine spoke about the coaching staff all season. The two finally agreed that pitching coach Bob McClure should be replaced, and that happened.
Cherington said he and the owners have spent a lot of time trying to sort out next season. Obviously, Valentine was not part of those discussions, which is unusual. The owners and front office gang likely decided Valentine was going to go long ago and decided to keep their end of the bargain and keep him until the end of the season.
E-mails to John Henry and Larry Lucchino have gone unanswered.
"We fell out of it earlier than we wanted to,'' Cherington said. "You have to start looking forward. We've done a lot of work and we'll continue to work. Spent a lot of time with ownership the last few weeks and the better part of September talking about that. I need to look at myself and the operation to see where we can improve. We've done a lot of work and we're confident we can improve. It's not going to happen overnight and we have to get back at it.
"I'm confident we can be better. I think people are trying. I'm confident we're going to be better and over time, very good. I don't know yet whether it's April of 2013 or beyond or what. I know we'll be back. Too many good people here. Too much strength and support at the ownership level despite a really low time in the team's history. We have strengths. We have strong players at the minor league level and major league level.''
Cherington spoke about trying to improve the performance of the players who underperformed this season and how make them better. He spoke about Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, and Felix Doubront as if they were top pitchers.
He spoke about a comebacking John Lackey and how hard he's worked at recovering from Tommy John surgery.
"I made some decisions that didn't work out,'' Cherington said. "I still believe in a lot of the players here and those we acquired. It didn't work out. That's on me. I didn't do enough to stabilize the rotation last offseason. The rotation wasn't good enough. I didn't do enough to help that.''
He thought he had made the right decisions. Daniel Bard to the starting rotation. Andrew Bailey as the closer after trading Josh Reddick. In Cherington's defense, there weren't many who thought Reddick would turn into a power hitter except for former Pawtucket hitting coach Chili Davis, who went over to the A's and convinced David Forst and Billy Beane that could indeed happen.
Carl Crawford was a nightmare for the Sox. Jacoby Ellsbury got hurt again. Injury after injury. Good depth turned into bad depth. Pretty tough on the GM. Pretty tough on the manager.
"There's a couple of different ways this could go,'' Cherington said. "We felt there was a chance we'd be really good if things fell our way. It didn't happen. So I don't know if the pressure is more than it was last offseason. I'm confident in myself, confident in people I work with and ownership. For as long as I am here I'll do everything I can to make the situation better.''
He will get more than one year. He likely will get two or three years, and he should. He will get a legitimate amount of time to get things straight and to rebuild after some of the poor decisions he helped Theo Epstein make back then.
But let's be clear. As much as Cherington admitted his missteps and failures, the person who will take 100 percent of the punishment is Valentine.
Because he'll be the one who pays the ultimate price – the loss of his job.

TEHRAN, July 10 (UPI) -- Western negotiators concerned about Iran's nuclear program should shift their stance to match that of the next Iranian president, an Iranian official said.
Hassan Rouhani, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator, secured a victory in the June presidential elections in Iran. He is considered a moderate when compared with the conservative leaders he defeated.
Rouhani, who takes office next month, said he would welcome a deeper level of engagement with the international community during his administration.
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, a spokesman for Iran's foreign policy committee, said Tuesday the Iranian government wanted its negotiation partners to shift their stance "from extremism to moderation" in order to parallel Rouhani's platform, Iran's state-funded broadcaster Press TV reported.
Iran is suspected by members of the international community of pursuing the technology needed to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies the allegations, saying it has the right to conduct peaceful nuclear research as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The Iranian government said it was interested in holding multilateral nuclear talks in Kazakhstan. Two rounds of talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany ended with little progress early this year.
