Which raises the question for us: IF the Mets tie the can to Delgado, would King Carlos consider a return to Toronto? And more to the point, would the Jays' front office want him?
Delgado has been in decline for a couple of seasons, although if you were the sort of person who cherrypicked the stats you wanted to make your point, you could show that Delgado was as effective as Matt Stairs versus righties in 2007.
Delgado vs RHP: 367 ABs, 20 HRs, 57 RsBI, .818 OPS.
Stairs vs RHP: 312 ABs, 21 HRs, 53 RsBI, er, um....931 OPS.
Okay...maybe not quite as effective. But vaguely comparable. Almost.
Speaking of faint praise, the Mets hitting coach Howard Johnson told the New York Times that Delgado's 2008 performance is "not as bad as it looks."
We'd usually dump on anyone who came up with this sort of fanciful BS notion of returning a player to the team for completely sentimental reasons. But there's something about the idea of seeing Delgado back in Toronto that melts away all of our reason and good sense.

old phone
best phone i ever had. kinda old now but still have it =) works like new !
love the cam best. found no other phone to have the same cam quality . never tried the 8mp though =(
Amazing Phone (k790a)
Been using this phone for about a week now.
- Large, crisp screen. Beautiful resolution
- 3.2 MP camera is amazing. With Cyber-Shot technology, this phone/cam can take amazing pictures.
- Menu is extremely fast
- Very nice design for a cyber-shot phone
- Lens cover
- great reception (Cerritos, CA)
- T9 is great (though i had to add a lot of words in and usually the word i want isn't the first one so i need to scroll)
- Keypad is nice and soft
- Music player is fast and easy to use
- Browser looks very nice for a phone
- Games look amazing
- VERY EASY to set up WAP and MMS
- Able to get RSS Feeds (I dont use this though)
- Radio
- Dedicated music player button
- Call volume a bit low, but not too bad for me
- Bump the lens cover makes (but i'd rather protect the lense =] )
This is simply the best phone I've ever had (And i've had quite a few now lol). I highly recommend this baby
K800i - Great Phone
I bought this phone while on a trip after my N80 crashed for about the 20th time. This phone is SO much better than the N80 -- i am very happy with the purchase.
Camera - Superb. I've almost given up using a dedicated camera this one is so good.
Call Quality - Great. No complaints about hearing others or being heard.
Interface - Great. It's much faster than the N80 and hasn't crashed yet.
Music Player - Great. I use it as a music player while i work out if I'm too lazy to get the iPod out.
Battery life - OUTSTANDING. I can go 3 or 4 days with heavy usage. I'm not tied down to an electrical outlet like the N80 where i was lucky to get a day of use between charges.
Nits - I wish it had wifi so i could use it as a VOIP device. I wish you could add new profiles instead of just editing the ones that come with the phone. Other than that, I've got no complaints.
K790a - great, great phone
I previously had the Cingular branded Sony Ericsson W810i and I liked it, but it was too small to comfortably hold in my hands while talking for a long period of time. The earpiece volume was also very quiet. And the screen was nice, but after going from Samsung D820 to W810i, I missed 240x320 screen resolution.
I've had the K790a for a little over two weeks now and I love it!
-Gorgeous 2.2" QVGA 240x320 screen
-Best camera on a phone (3.2 megapixel is handy)
-Xenon flash
-Stylish looks/smooth rubber touch
-Comfortable size
-excellent battery life
-very durable
-factory unbranded/unlocked (no carrier junk)
-Decent keyboard -- looks great when lit up
-Included games are fun, especially mini golf
-Joystick is a novelty to me
-Earpiece volume could be slightly louder, although I thought it was better than the earpiece volume on my W810i
-Keys are not as easy to text on as W810i, but acceptable and still enjoyable
-Camera lens cover sticks out a little too much
-It is expensive if you pay retail (although I got it for a great price second hand in 10/10 condition with 1 hour of use on it for $250)
This is a worthy upgrade from W810i, a phone that I kept for 6 months which has to be a new record for me, and I plan on keeping this phone for a while.
I love this phone.
Great camera
Decent built in memory
Good quality
Nice menus
Soft buttons
Hard to find memory card at major electronic stores like BestBuy or FutureShop, etc...
Lacks a "change song" button while playing music.
Other than those two cons, this is the best phone ever!
Love the phone it is awesome!
I had the samsung d900 for a while and it was a great phone. My 2 favorite brands are Samsung and Sony Ericsson. I have to say though the K790a is really awesome.
Pros: Sick Camera
Awesome Screen
Loud MP3
Movie Viewer
Streaming Vid
Great Games
Good Internet
Cons: None
My Time With K790a
I have a W810 and I got this phone about 3 weeks ago. I was contemplating about returning it but after using it for awhile I decided I couldnt. The screen is amazing and beautiful. I love the camera, and the Xenon flash is off the chart!! Other little things make it better than the W810 (which until I got the K790a was my favorite phone). The built in web browser is superb as well. The feel of this phone is very business like and classy. The keys are good but I will say the W810 keys are great as well as I prefer the D pad on the W810 over the joystick on the K790a, but overall this phone, yes, is a worthy upgrade over the W810. I am digging the A2DP with my Plantronics 590a stereo bluetooth headphones also.
i love this phone!!
i have had this phone for a few weeks and after many hours of playing with it i decided to submit a review.
it is a great phone. i can't find much to complain about. the camera is awesome! i have a toddler so i am constantly taking pictures. it's nice to be able to print them and they look great. the bluetooth features are really nice. the menus are easy to navigate through and pretty straight forward. i love the fact that you can change the themes. there are several sites that offer free themes for download and software to create your own. the phone is very customizable, which is a bonus of course. the only small complaint i can find is that the earpiece sound is a little low sometimes, but not enough to take away from the phone. the battery life is wonderful. i use it heavily all day long and only need to charge it every other day. i would recommend this phone to anyone! this phone is definitely a keeper.

I really miss blogging and miss my blog. I think I should return to blogging soon. Meanwhile, here is an attempt to explain what is happening now in Egypt and what should we be expecting to happen next. I wrote this in English, specially, for my foreign friends who cannot read my posts in Arabic. I hope this helps clarify the image for you:
The whole world, not only Egypt, is looking forward to the 30th of June. By then, the new Islamist president of the post-revolution Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, would have completed a full year of cumulative fails in running state affairs. Over that year, the Egyptians suffered a lot from the selfishness of the regime that did not shy from working exclusively for the good of the Muslim Brotherhood group even if it is on the expense of Egypt itself. As a result, the Egyptian people decided that the Muslim Brotherhood have wasted their opportunity and does not deserve to remain in power any more.
The persistence of Egyptians to remove the MB regime was clearly expressed through a massive petition signing campaign, under the name "Tamrud" or Rebel, which successfully collected more than fifteen million signatures in less than three months. The petition calls upon the president to resign and for the constitutional court to decide on a date for early presidential elections. The number of those who signed the petition exceeds the number of those who voted for Morsi last year with three million people. Democratically speaking, it makes perfect sense to go with the demands of the majority and hold early presidential elections. I am so proud to say, that my Ibn Khaldun Center for Democratic Studies (IKC) was the first to launch the call for early presidential elections after the severe forgeries we monitored in the presidential elections of last year.
Among the many public opinion polls and surveys that we ran at IKC last year, two results should be highlighted as an explanation to what is happening today and what we expect to see on June 30th and what should we expect to happen after the success or – G-d forbid – failure of that day. The first result is related to a series of surveys on citizen satisfaction towards the performance of the Muslim Brotherhood regime and government. The survey targeted a random sample from all over Egypt and was conducted on a quarterly basis since Morsi came in power last summer. The second result is related to a nation-wide opinion poll that we ran in April to find out the most popular alternative that the people look forward to have in case Morsi, voluntarily or forcibly, resigns.
In July 2012, only one month after Morsi was elected, the survey showed that 40.3% of Egyptians were satisfied with the performance of the president. During this month, Morsi – a new president then – made an endless list of flowery promises that included improving the economic status and empowering women and religious minorities to take decision-making positions. That is probably what made the people more optimistic about the future and was reflected on the indicator of satisfaction.
In November 2012, amid the wave of protests outside the presidential palace, the citizen satisfaction index dramatically declined to 8.5%. The reason for this severe decline could be explained by the violent involvement of the militias of the Muslim Brotherhood in cooperation with police forces in beating and torturing the protests outside the presidential palace, who were protesting the failure of the government in dealing with internal crises.
In June 2013, in coincidence with the first anniversary of Morsi's rule, the satisfaction index showed an attention-grabbing slight rise in the level of satisfaction to 15%. What makes this slight rise in the satisfaction level especially interesting is that it comes amidst massive protests all over Egypt calling for Morsi's resignation. A sensible explanation could relate to the threats of violence that Islamists have been spreading since the beginning of the month to scare the people from participating in street protests planned on June 30th. This fear was also coupled with the disappointment caused by the military's loud statements that they are not willing to get re-involved in the political life and rather focus on their traditional role of protecting the borders.
In April, we ran a public opinion poll that asked Egyptian citizens about the extent of their acceptance of the army returning to the political scene during this critical time after having withdrawn for more than six months. The sample included two thousand people from different political, social and intellectual backgrounds with 63 percent of them under the age of 35. The sample included residents from both the countryside and urban cities including Cairo and Northern and Southern cities. Eighty two per cent agreed that the military should return in power as soon as possible to return security and stability to our life. Forty-seven percent of the sample asked that the army, if it returned to power, declares a specific period during which it would run the country as well as transparency with its plans during the transition period.
We, at the Ibn Khaldun Center, agreed to participate in the protests of June 30, not only as individual protesters, but also as researchers. We plan to survey the protesters in different cities and governorates about what they are expecting after the fall of the current regime. The main purpose of this is to avoid creating a gap similar to what was created after the fall of Mubarak, two years ago, when the revolutionaries were lost in how to build up democracy after bringing down a dictator. This gap is what allowed the MB to seize power despite they are not qualified to run the country. June 30 is important, but what matters most to all of us is what should happen after the success or failure of the upcoming wave of protests. This is exactly what I, personally, and all my colleagues at IKC would devote their time to discover in the upcoming few weeks.

Singer Keyshia Cole has gone where few people dare to tread, railing against Beyonce's new single, "Bow Down/I Been On," which features an unusually aggressive set of lyrics for the 31-year-old megastar.
"I know when you were little girls you dreamt of being in my world," Beyonce sings on the new track, posted to her Tumblr page Monday. "Don't forget it. Respect that. Bow down, b*tches."
"Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk sh** when convenient 2 FOH," Cole tweeted Monday in reference to the "Bow Down" lyric.
"First 'Women need to Stick together' now bitches better Bow. Smh," Cole added. "But it's all G! Chicks stay shooting the sh**. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad"
"Bey Hive" immediately came to their Queen's defense:
"B*tch you ain't gon need NO more perm kits. The #BeyHive bouta snatch you BALD !!!" one fan tweeted.
"When Beyoncé sings she's Sasha Fierce though, so get ya life," said another.
Cole hit back at a few:
How am i hating? no Mamm or sir. whatever u may be. No H8RT @gothamsknight_: d*mn @keyshiacole hating on everybody— Keyshia Cole Gibson (@KeyshiaCole) March 18, 2013
Cole has criticized members of Beyonce's team before. In February, Cole targeted Michelle Williams, one of Beyonce's Destiny's Child bandmates.
"I think I was frightened to blink for a sec. Then Michell sung and woke my ass up from my daze!" she said. "She always f---N the groove up."

Duke Global Entrepreneurship Network (DukeGEN)
The Duke Global Entrepreneurship Network is a group for Duke's entrepreneurial community (made up of alumni, but also students, faculty, staff, parents and friends). We were started in 2008 and we have about 2100 members.
Find us online at http://www.dukegen.com
Mostly we focus on connecting members of our community.
We primarily do this through
- networking events in about 15 cities throughout the world
- online discussion groups
- social media, mostly LinkedIn, but also Facebook and Twitter
We're about helping our alumni and our community to start companies.
We're looking for a logo that will capture the professional nature of this organization.
Our target audience is mostly Duke University Alumni
But also Duke students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends.
While Duke has an well-known undergraduate school (which accounts for about half of the 12,000 current students), it has several other strong schools including
-Fuqua School of Business, http://www.fuqua.duke.edu
-Pratt School of Engineering, http://www.pratt.duke.edu
-School of Medicine, http://medschool.duke.edu
-School of Law, http://law.duke.edu
-Nicholas School of the Environment, http://nicholas.duke.edu
-Sanford School of Public Policy, http://sanford.duke.edu
-The Graduate School, http://gradschool.duke.edu/
-School of Nursing, http://nursing.duke.edu/
-Divinity School, http://divinity.duke.edu
-Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, http://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/
We want to be welcoming of all of these schools at Duke.
Additionally, Duke is building campuses in five locations around the world
- Dubai, UAE
- St. Petersburg, Russia
- Delhi, India
- Kunshan, China
- London, England
We want to be welcoming of people from around the world.
In summary, there are many potential target audiences. But mostly it comes down to Duke alumni since they form the majority of our membership.
1) Professional looking
2) We think we want "Duke Global Entrepreneurship Network" spelled out. However, we'll entertain logos that just say "DukeGEN".
3) Eye-catching
4) Blue should be the main color. But additional colors are ok and encouraged.
5) Probably do not use the "Blue Devil" head
6) Probably no pitchforks or devil horns.
7) There should be a secondary version that works well in a square (like for Twitter)
8) It's ok to use the same typography from the original Duke Global Entrepreneurship Network logo (attached). In that case, you can focus on adding an icon.

On Saturday at Robertson Stadium, the Houston Dynamo thumped Chivas USA 3-0. The result helped Houston vent some of their frustrations at their performance last week.
"Guys were [ticked] off about [last week's] loss, especially at home and the team was fired up," said Dynamo midfielder Geoff Cameron. "We came off of a loss last week and we all know we didn't play that great, but we rebounded this week and we were fired up from the beginning."
That's a bit of an understatement. The Dynamo scored two goals in the first 20 minutes, and cruised from then on.
"Last week, we were disappointed obviously," forward Dominic Oduro, who scored the third goal, said. "We wanted to forget about that. I thought we played well and controlled the game, and we scored some amazing goals."
Watch: FULL MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
The first gaol came when Corey Ashe's pass split the Chivas defense and Cameron beat keeper Zach Thornton to give Houston a 1-0 lead.
"We've been working on it all week with our outside midfielders pinching in," Ashe said. "Cameron made a great run and I figured if I could slip it in, he would do the rest and that's what happened."
Houston extended its lead eight minutes later when Lovel Palmer, who started his first game, hit a rocket from 35 yards out.
"I'm elated," the Jamaican midfielder said. "I couldn't ask for a better goal and it helped the team relax and we got three points."
The final goal came in the 64th minute, when midfielder Brad Davis found Oduro in front of goal for an easy tap in.
The victory gives Houston their best-ever start to a season and extended their unbeaten streak against Chivas USA to 10 games. After gifting their opponent two goals last week, taking an early lead and then recording the first shutout of the season went a long way to please head coach Dominic Kinnear.
"It's one of those where after last week I told the guys we're not going to blow up the team because we had a bad forty-five minutes," Kinnear said. "I see the response from the guys, and the response was excellent. . . . Now the guys are very happy and you can tell: The music is a little louder and the chatter is a little happier."

School of Music receives 11 Steinway pianos in one delivery
June 19, 2013
PLAINVIEW – The School of Music at Wayland Baptist University received 11 new Steinway
and Sons, Boston and Essex model pianos on Tuesday, ushering in the final phase of
the four-phase All-Steinway Initiative. A generous gift from the Roberta Wright Reeves
Trust helped purchase the pianos that will be used in faculty studios and student
practice rooms.
"This is one of the most exciting days I can imagine," said Bryan Elmore, Director of Institutional Sales for Steinway Hall who was on hand for the delivery. "We've planned for it and we've prayed for it and God has brought us manna from heaven. He brought us Steinways from heaven."
With this delivery, all of the pianos that will be used in the music wing of Harral Arts Complex have been replaced with models produced by Steinway and Sons. These pianos will be used in teaching studios as well as student practice rooms and performance venues. Dr. Ann Stutes, Dean of the School of Music said this was an important day for faculty and students.
"This single day … this single delivery means that every instrument that we use in the course of a workday in all of our educational environments, classrooms and faculty studios where we teach piano and also voice and other instruments, now have the finest possible piano available to students across the United States," Stutes said. "It has taken us to a whole new level in one day. One incredible day."
The focus will now shift to completing the initiative by replacing pianos in other areas of the campus including the Academy of Fine Arts facility, School of Music annex building, the atrium of the Learning Resources Center, the banquet room in the University Center and other areas. The big purchase of the final phase will be a Steinway Model B grand piano for use in the band hall.
Anyone interested in being part of the All-Steinway Initiative is encouraged to contact Linda Grover at 806-291-1076 or email@example.com. The School of Music will conduct an 88 Keys promotion through Steinway, allowing donors to purchase keys in order to raise money for the grand piano. The price of the keys will range from $100 to $5,000 with the 88 keys adding up to the $76,000 purchase price.

Eight young children and three adults died in central China after the minivan they were in crashed into a pond, state media reported Friday.
The bus was returning the children home from school on Thursday in a mountainous village near the capital city of Hunan province when it fell into a pond, the Xinhua News Agency said.
The minivan was pulled out of the pond early Friday with the children and a driver inside, while the bodies of two teachers were found an hour later, Xinhua said.
The minibus was carrying 11 passengers even though it had only seven seats, Xinhua reported, citing the father of one of the children who died as saying it was common for the van to be overloaded.
An investigation is under way, the agency said.
Overcrowding on buses is common in China, where two years ago, 19 children died when a makeshift school bus for a primary school collided head-on with a truck. The bus had been converted from a nine-seat freight van, but was carrying 64 people at the time of the accident.
The crash caused public uproar about school bus safety in rural China, where there is a shortage of education funds and children are often forced to travel far to get an education because of school closures.

As the global population surpasses 7 billion people sometime around the end of October, addressing the challenges associated with a still-growing world population will require a two-pronged response.
The combined measures of empowering women to make their own decisions about childbearing and significantly reducing global consumption of energy and natural resources would move humanity toward, rather than further away from, environmentally sustainable societies that meet human needs.
Roughly 4.5 billion people have been added to the world population in just the last 60 years, according to United Nations estimates, putting increased strain on the world's ecosystems and resources. Because humans interact with their surroundings far more intensely than any other species and use vast amounts of carbon, nitrogen, water, and other resources, we are on track not only to change the global climate and deplete essential energy and other natural resources, but to wipe out thousands of plant and animal species in the coming decades.
To some extent, these outcomes are now unavoidable; we'll have to adapt to them. But in order to improve the likelihood they will not be catastrophic, we need to simultaneously work to influence the future path of population and to address the environmental and social impacts that continued population growth will have.
Earlier this year, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) launched 7 Billion Actions, a campaign to highlight positive actions by individuals and organizations addressing global development challenges. By sharing these innovations in an open forum, the campaign aims to foster communication and collaboration as the planet becomes more populated and increasingly interdependent.
Addressing global population growth is not the same thing as "controlling population." The most direct and immediate way to lower birth rates is to make sure that as high a proportion as possible of pregnancies are intended, by assuring that women can make their own choices about whether and when to bear a child.
Simultaneously, we need to rapidly transform our energy, water, and materials consumption through greater use of conservation, efficiency, and green technologies. We shouldn't think of these as sequential efforts – dealing with consumption first, then waiting for population dynamics to turn around – but rather as simultaneous tasks on multiple fronts.
Worldwatch recommends two main approaches to mitigate the impacts of a soaring global population:
Empower women to make their own decisions about childbearing. More than two in five pregnancies worldwide are unintended by the women who experience them, and half or more of these pregnancies result in births that spur continued population growth. [Former journalist and Worldwatch Institute president Robert] Engelman has calculated that if all women had the capacity to decide for themselves when to become pregnant, average global childbearing would immediately fall below the "replacement fertility" value of slightly more than two children per woman. Population would then move onto a path leading to a peak followed by a gradual decline, possibly well before 2050. Women must be able to make their own decisions about childbearing free from fear of coercion or pressure from partners, family, and society. And they must have easy access to a range of safe, effective, and affordable contraceptive methods and the information and counseling needed to use them.
Consume fewer resources and waste less food. Humans appropriate anywhere from 24 percent to nearly 40 percent of the photosynthetic output of the planet for food and other purposes, and more than half of the planet's accessible renewable freshwater runoff. In addition to overuse of finite resources, humans waste large quantities of food every year. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, industrialized countries waste 222 million tons of food annually. If fewer resources and less food were wasted, the world would be able to feed more people and use fewer resources. With nearly 1 billon hungry people worldwide, wasting less food would also mean utilizing existing resources – not new ones – to feed them.

By Dave Feschuk, Toronto Star
December 23, 2012, Victoria, BC – From its origin as a carving by a First Nation's individual, to the factory produced, carbon and fibergalss one-piece composites that rule today's game, the simple hockey stick has undergone a tremendous evolution. Please enjoy this educational history lesson.
While there is little agreement of hockey's moment and location of origin, there is little dispute that some of the first commercial hockey sticks were honed by Mi'kmaq carvers in Nova Scotia. Using wood from the hornbeam tree — sometimes known as ironwood for its strength — the carvers create an implement that resembles today's field-hockey sticks, with a short, upturned blade. Other types of wood are also used, including yellow birch. Some carvers come to believe that the ideal raw material are the exposed roots of second-growth trees, which possess the desired mix of flex and strength.
The Hespeler stick company, which had been making sticks on the banks of the Speed River since 1905, is among the first to bid adieu to the hand-carved one-piece stick era by patenting designs for a two-piece wood stick. The blade is inserted into a joint in the shaft before it is glued. Early models suffer quality-control issues when the glue loses its grip in cold weather. But the two-piece wood stick comes to rule the market, with small manufacturers setting up shop all over Ontario and Quebec.
1930s and 1940s
Two- and three-piece wood sticks come to dominate the NHL. Conn Smythe, the Maple Leafs owner, demands his players use only one type: A CCM model at least 22 ounces (or about 600 grams) in weight. Smythe, a known penny pincher, prizes the heavy sticks for their longevity.
Manufacturers experiment by wrapping their wood blades in fibreglass, and within 20 years they are also using the materials to reinforce their shafts. The advancement paves the way for stronger, lighter sticks made of cheaper, lighter woods that retained the durability of heavier models.
During a practice at Chicago Stadium, Blackhawks great Stan Mikita breaks the straight blade of his Northland so that it resembles a V. When he fires a puck at the net with the crooked implement, he is amazed by the result. Says Mikita to teammate Bobby Hull: "Bobby . . . can you ever shoot the puck (with a curve)." Mikita and Hull begin to experiment with curves, running their wood blades under hot water until they're soft before bending them under a door jamb overnight. Though others have claimed to experiment with the curve before Mikita and Hull, it is they who popularize it. The results change the game forever.
While many stick manufacturers still use solid hardwood, Quebec's Sher-Wood and Canadien companies begin to dominate the market with sticks fashioned from lightweight aspen and reinforced with fibreglass. Among the most popular models for pros and amateurs alike is the Sher-Wood PMP 5030, which Guy Lafleur will come to call "the greatest stick in the world."
Wayne Gretzky begins to rewrite hockey's record book not with a pen but with a Titan brand TPM 2020 model. In his prime Gretzky is estimated to have used about 700 sticks per season, in part to satiate the huge demand for game-used souvenirs. One reports says Gretzky's use of the stick helps vault Titan from the 13th-biggest stick maker to No. 1 in the world as measured by revenue.
Lured by a six-figure endorsement contract, Gretzky signs on to use an HXP 5100 aluminum shafted stick made by Easton, whose aluminum bats have come to dominate the market in softball and college baseball. Aluminum sticks have been previously used by the hall-of-fame-bound likes of Mark Howe and Brett Hull, who led the NHL in goal scoring using an aluminum shaft, but Gretzky's stamp of approval — which sees him earn a reported $2 million over seven years — helps the stick skyrocket in popularity. Within a year some 80 NHLers are using a metal-shafted model.
"After using it, I'm convinced that it's the best stick made," Gretzky says at a news conference. "It is absolutely perfect for my needs — stiff shaft and yet extremely light. With wood it seems that stiffness is sometimes directly related to overall weight. I'm nearly 30 now and any advantage I can get in the weight of my equipment is welcomed."
The first composite blade is introduced. Paul Kariya, an early adopter, scores 50 goals with the new technology.
Joe Sakic and Kariya are among the early adopters of the Easton Synergy, the first popular one-piece composite stick. By 2004, some 90 per cent of players are using composite technology. NHL goaltenders are among those who aren't thrilled. "What do I think? Ask any pitcher in baseball if he would want Mark McGwire swinging an aluminum bat. Ask me if I want Al MacInnis swinging a Synergy stick. Of course, I'd say no," Blue Jackets goaltender Marc Denis says. "Everyone's shot is harder. You see third- and fourth-line guys letting them rip from the top of the right circle."
The composite stick dominates the pro game, with only rare holdouts like Edmonton's Ryan Smyth using a wood blade in a composite shaft. Sher-Wood, the only Canadian manufacturer still producing wood sticks in industrial quantities, announces plans to move its remaining domestic operations offshore.

Mail::SpamAssassin::SimpleClient - easy client to SpamAssassin's spamd
version 0.102
This module is still in its infancy. Its interface will probably change somewhat, especially if some changes are made to the spamd protocol to make this module awesomer. Please don't rely on it. Just play with it and try to help figure out how to make it great.
my $spamc = Mail::SpamAssassin::Simpleclient->new;
die "It's horrible, horrible spam!" if $spamc->check($message)->is_spam;
Mail::SpamAssassin is a great, free tool for identifying spam messages. It is generally accessed via the spamc or spamassassin programs. Despite the fact that SpamAssassin in implemented in Perl, it is often difficult to check a message against SpamAssassin from within a Perl program.
This module provides a very simple (but also limited) interface to check mail against SpamAssassin.
my $client = Mail::SpamAssassin::SimpleClient->new(\%arg);
This method returns a new SimpleClient object.
Valid arguments are:
host - the host on which to look for spamd (default: localhost)
port - the port on which to look for spamd (default: 783)
username - username to pass to spamd
timeout - how long (in seconds) to allow SpamAssassin to consider the
message before an exception is raised; default 120; set to 0 to
wait forever
my $result = $spamc->check($message);
This method passes a message to SpamAssassin to be spam-checked. It returns a Mail::SpamAssassin::SimpleClient::Result object. If SpamAssassin does not respond within the SimpleClient's timeout period, an exception is raised.
Support spamd-less operation.
Get the protocol to support "always rewrite" or another way to always get scores.

With the Arduino board, I'm using the proto shields very often. It all sounds good with the exception that I often have many ongoing projects and only two proto shields. On top of that I would like to start using the ATtiny and not only the Atmega328 and the UNO board is not made for the ATtiny.
The solution? Make my how proto board of course!
I wanted the board to be compact but still contain a mini breadboard so I decided to used one half of a mini breadboard.
To make things convenient, I also wanted to use a ZIF socket to easily change the micro-controller chip(s). Here are all the parts before assembly:
Part list:
1: ZIF socket 28 pin (~$2.95)
2: 8 pin female header (~$0.50 2x)
2: 6 pin female header (~$0.50 2x)
1: 5 pin female header (~$0.50)
1: 4 pin female header (~$0.50)
1: 16MHz Crystal (~$0.95)
1: Mini breadboard (~$3.95)
2: Capacitor Ceramic 0.1uF (~$0.25 2x)
2: Electrolytic Capacitors - 100uF (~$0.35 2x)
1: Voltage Regulator – 5V (~$1.25)
1: 9V Snap Connector (~$1.25)
1: PCB board (~$1.25)
+ some wires for connecting the components.
Total cost: ~$16.0
Total cost: ~$16.0
Here's the final product.
I'm pretty happy with it because it's small, it doesn't need a separate proto shield, I can use it with either 1 Atmega328 or 1-2 ATtiny(s) and the ZIF socket makes things a lot easier when switching chips.

A surreal invitation to the Mediterranean diet, the shape of this jar evokes the archetypical recipe of Italian cuisine. There's even a reminder of the perfect sauce to go with it, in the tomato-shaped knob.
Born in La Spezia in 1954, Stefano as an architect and designer was taught by Buti at Florence University. In the early 80's he founded the King-Kong Production Group along with Guido Venturini. His explosive talent enables him to embody a complex system of 'affective codes' in his projects. This great approach won him the title of 'Super & Popular' designer in the 90's. A technical designer par excellence he has industrial design in his DNA and the capacity to understand public sentiment like no other designer mentioned in this catalogue. His projects began with the "Girotondo" (1989 designed with Guido Venturini) and the first transparent objects in plastic from the "Family Follows Fiction" series (1993). There is a huge number of his items in the "Officina Alessi", "Alessi" and "A di Alessi" catalogues. www.stefanogiovannoni.it
