Tones Electrical
We are a local electrical contracting business in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. We have been operating in the electrical repair industry for over 20 years. Repairing washing machines, dryers, fridges, stoves and the likes. Recently with the addition of a couple of new employees we are branching out into all electrical contracting requirements. Including Domestic housing, Industrial electrical, and still maintaining electrical repairs side of things to. We have a showroom in which we sell reconditioned electrical appliances, 2 vans and a workshop. We have 5 staff.
Targett audience would be, everyone that requires work done. We have alot of older recuring loyal customers, but find that alot of younger people dont really know about us as a contracting business. I would like to see a nice mordern design that could be used on sign writing of vans and signage of workshop and front. a nice fresh eye catching desing that grabs the attention of the younger to middle aged audience.
no particular design or requirements here. your all free to design as you will. All that needs to be included is our business name. Tones Electrical. Our old design had lightning bolts on it, but i find lightning bolts to be very standard in the design of electrical business logos and would preffer no lightning bolts(but am open to sugestions). Neat Fresh Modern and eye catching are my main reqirements. Cheers guys

|"Maciste, L'Eroe Piu Grande Del Mondo"
|Well-sculpted Forest plays yet another mesomorph to the rescue in this poorly dubbed spaghetti legend. Goliath must spare 24 virgins whom the evil Crisa would submit as human sacrifice. Forest--who played the mythic Maciste in a number of films--was randomly assigned the identity of Goliath, Hercules, or Samson for U.S. viewing; go figure.

Magpies duo assure supporters
Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse and midfielder Cheick Tiote have assured fans the players remain united and fully committed to the task of avoiding relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
Responding on the club's website to reports of disharmony among the squad following two thumping home defeats last month - 3-0 against local rivals Sunderland and then 6-0 at the hands of Liverpool - Cisse acknowledged the players were hurting but insisted they had a "strong bond".
He said on www.nufc.co.uk: "Every player is together. We are totally focused on Saturday's game at West Ham and the two games after that. We have a strong bond and we want the best for our club, our manager and our wonderful fans."
Cisse continued: "We are not happy about recent results. Nobody is happy when they lose, but this has only made us stronger as a group and we will come through this together. There is no divide in the team."
Tiote added: "We want to let the fans know that all of the players are committed and we are in this together.
"We will fight to get out of this problem and we know our fans will help us to do that. They are incredible."
Magpies managing director Derek Llambias also hit out at "false rumours" of a rift within the dressing room.
"The club is determined to turn things around and everyone is working together to secure that goal," he said.
"It is not helpful when people try and distract the team and the manager with false rumours."
Alan Pardew's side, who sit five points above the relegation zone but have played a game more than 18th-placed Wigan, travel to West Ham on Saturday before visiting QPR the following weekend and then finishing the season at home to Arsenal.

JCRS (Jewish Children's Regional Service)
JCRS (Jewish Children's Regional Service) is a non profit organization that began in 1855. It is currently the oldest existing Jewish children's social services organization in the United States.
During the "phone-a-thon" we will be calling people that have contributed to the organization in the past, but haven't contributed to the organization in the past few years. The postcard should act as a playful reminder of the organization itself, and it should also inform them that we will be calling them soon.
We are looking for a postcard design (4.24" x 6") to announce a phone-a-thon fundraising campaign. The copy that will appear on the designed portion of the card will say:
Hello (again)
It should be an eye catching, smart and fun design. Integrated into the design we need to include our logo. (size optional) SEE ATTACHED FILES. We are very open to design ideas. It can be strictly design and type, or it can have images and/or icons integrated into the design. Some ideas that have been discussed: The look and feel of a hand drawn postcard or note. Maybe include a coffee stain? Doodle? Perhaps it's written on a blackboard? Icing on a cake? Perhaps a phone is somehow integrated into the design? We really are open to your ideas and interpretation.
The copy on the back of the postcard (NOT INCLUDED IN DESIGN) will read "We're calling to say hello! JCRS's New Orleans Phone-A-Thon will be held the evening of March 14th and 17th. We will be calling all of our local friends to say hi, catch you up on what's going on at JCRS, and how you can get involved and support the organization. We look forward to speaking with you!"
We look forward to your submissions. We're pretty good about feedback, so please check back.

John McAfee, Running from Cops, Drops F-Bomb on Live TV
(NEW YORK) -- John McAfee, the computer security mogul on the run from Belizean police who want to question him about a murder, lobbed an f-bomb on live television Friday while explaining why he thinks he's being targeted by corrupt authorities.
In a telephone interview with CNBC, McAfee recounted an incident before the murder investigation in which dozens of Belizean officers allegedly stormed his compound, arrested him, detained him for hours, and then let him go without charges. When the CNBC anchor asked McAfee why he thought the police had done that, McAfee said it was because he "does not play by the rules."
McAfee said he pumps millions into the local economy, but said, "I don't do it by giving to the government and letting them dole it out because if I give $5 million to the government, $10,000 goes to the people and $4 million plus change goes into the pockets of the politicians. I give directly to the people. And I have been doing this all along."
"I do not donate to any political party. When I was asked to donate, I said, 'Get the f*** off my property,'" he said.
McAfee and the show's anchor immediately apologized for the slip.
The founder of the McAfee anti-virus company has been on the run from local police since Nov. 11 when his neighbor, Greg Faull, was found shot in the head. Though he has not been formally charged with the crime and is only wanted for questioning, McAfee has maintained his innocence and claims that he will be killed if he is taken into custody.
But running from the authorities doesn't mean McAfee has been keeping quiet. He gave his first broadcast interview to ABC News earlier this month and has since spoken with a number of major news outlets, most recently Friday's chat with CNBC.
The 67-year-old also started a blog a few days after his run began, and in it he describes the elaborate disguises he uses to hide from police in plain sight and conduct his own investigation into Faull's murder.
"My safety is contingent on the truth being discovered," McAfee wrote in the blog. As of the publication of this report, the blog appeared to be suffering technical issues.
On Friday McAfee said he is beginning to run out of money and is having trouble getting cash from a bank in Belize "oddly enough." But still, he said he has no plans to leave the small Central American country.
"Everything I have is here in Belize," he said.
After hearing some of McAfee's public statements in the early days of his flight from the authorities, Belizean Prime Minister Dean Barrow said the American expat seemed "extremely paranoid" and "bonkers."
"They may call me as they wish," McAfee told ABC News earlier this month. "I do not intend to turn myself in, no matter what they call me."

In commemoration of Black History Month, this series of blog posts highlights African-American history in Florida.
In February 1864, the Union launched what would be the war's largest military campaign in Florida. Designed to interrupt the supply of cattle and goods from the state that were destined for Confederate armies outside of Florida, add more escaped and freed slaves to the ranks of the U.S. Army, and possibly bring Florida back into the Union as a reconstructed free state, the northeast Florida campaign of 1864 consisted of some 7,000 Union troops, including three black regiments: the 1st North Carolina Colored Infantry, the 8th U.S. Colored Infantry (USCT), and the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.
The 54th had already distinguished itself on the ramparts of South Carolina's Fort Wagner during the unit's now famous assault on that Confederate bastion in July 1863. Unlike the 54th, however, the two other regiments had never been in combat, and the 8th USCT had not even completed its training when it arrived in Florida along with the rest of the Union troops on February 7, 1864.
Leaving about 1,500 men to secure Jacksonville and conduct other missions, the main Union force of 5,500 troops under the command of Brigadier General Truman Seymour began marching on February 20 west towards Lake City and the Suwannee River beyond. East of Lake City the Federals ran into advanced elements of a Confederate force of 5,000 men that established defensive positions outside of Lake City at Olustee, a station along the Florida, Atlantic & Gulf Railroad. The battle, which lasted through the afternoon of February 20, was a particularly bloody encounter that ended in a Confederate victory and a humiliating Union retreat back to Jacksonville.
The more experienced 54th Massachusetts as well as the 1st North Carolina played an important role in the battle by holding back the Confederate advance as the rest of Seymour's regiments withdrew. One of those regiments, the 8th USCT, experienced some of the day's heaviest fighting. Its untested ranks were ordered forward and ran into a storm of Confederate fire.
At the end of the battle, the 8th USCT lost more men than any other Union unit: 49 killed, 188 wounded, and 73 missing. Of these missing, several became prisoners and were eventually transferred to the infamous Confederate prisoner of war camp at Andersonville, Georgia. Others may have faced an even worse fate. Several postwar accounts, mostly from Confederate sources, recalled that individual Confederate soldiers killed some of the wounded and captured black soldiers.
After Olustee, black troops continued to play an important role in Union operations in Florida. In September 1864, they made up part of the force that attacked Marianna, Florida, and on March 6, 1865, black soldiers formed the mass of the Union troops that engaged the Confederates south of Tallahassee at Natural Bridge. The Union lost the battle and was denied the opportunity to capture Tallahassee during the war. A little over two months later, however, black troops marched into Florida's capital as part of the Union occupying force that received the formal surrender of Confederate Florida on May 20, 1865.
Today, while the operations of black troops are better known in theaters of the war such as South Carolina (the assault on Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863) and Virginia (the Battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864), the actions of black troops in Florida, although less famous, were just as crucial to establishing the importance of black units in the Union war effort. Although the direct path to Union victory and black freedom pointed to Atlanta and Richmond, the route included many detours, like Florida, which ultimately led to emancipation.

UPDATE 12/7/12: And the winner is… #67 Tori P. ! Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who entered!
Please note: This giveaway has ended and is now closed to further entries.
It's been almost one year since I became a Julep Maven, and I have to say, I am completely smitten. Each month, I get the prettiest package delivered to my door with two new nail lacquers, plus other fun goodies like hand cream, glitter or nail art tutorials. At first I was skeptical (when am I not?) but month after month, Julep brings a huge smile to my face. The polishes are high quality. The colors reflect my personal style (I'm Classic with a Twist). And they always add those little seasonal extras (like candy corn for Halloween or sparkly confetti for the Fourth of July) that make the packages even more special. To top it all off, Julep sometimes team up with top designers like Trina Turk for fab collabs that you just have to have.
Keep reading for swatches, an exclusive promo code, plus a giveaway for a Julep Maven intro box!

Yes, it's after Christmas. Yes, I'm posting a holiday gift idea when gift giving is probably the last thing you want to be thinking about. In my defense, I had to wait, otherwise it would have ruined the surprise for our parents, who each received a set of these for Christmas. For what it's worth, this is not a last minute gift. I let mine steep for about 6 months. So you should be thanking me for giving you such a fabulous gift idea you can get started on so far in advance. You're welcome.
Homemade vanilla extract. It sounds so… complicated. So involved. Something akin to distilling your own whiskey or something. But you'd be surprised how simple it is. As easy as pouring some booze into a bottle with a few vanilla beans, and then forgetting about it for 6 months. I think we're all capable of that.
For this particular batch I purchased three different varieties of vanilla beans: Madagascar, Tahitian, and Tonga. I just love the idea of comparing the subtleties present in each variety (obviously, because I've done it before with eggplant, summer squash, figs, and garlic) and the three-extract sampler made the gift that much more special. The final product was packaged in 4oz amber bottles and stickered with a lovely designed label indicating the variety. I knew our parents would appreciate them so much more than a store-bought present.
Hooray for planning ahead.
(Psst! If you like the labels I designed here, you can download a free printable pdf of them to use for your very own homemade vanilla extract!)
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Makes 16 ounces.
6-10 fresh vanilla beans (more beans will yield a stronger extract in shorter amount of time)
16 oz. (2 cups) vodka or other liquor
Split vanilla beans and scrape out seeds. Cut pods into 1″ pieces. Put both seeds and pod pieces into a glass jar or bottle. Fill with vodka and seal. Store jars in a cool dark place, gently shaking the mixture several times a week. For best results, allow to brew for at least two months, if not longer. The extract will get better with age.
Strain out solids prior to using.
You can also refill the bottle with more vodka as it is used. Occasionally you may also want to strain out the old vanilla beans and replace them with fresh beans. This is also a great use for old beans or beans used for other purposes (once you've scraped out the seeds for your other recipe, simply cut up the empty pod and add it to your extract.)
Did you make this recipe?
Let us know what you think!
Leave a Comment or share a photo on Instagram with the hashtag #loveandoliveoil.
Guess what? I've got another giveaway for you! I wanted to include this one in giveaway week, but since these bottles were actually given to family members, that would have ruined the surprise. So I had to wait. Call it a belated Christmas gift, if you will.
Beanilla, online retailer of gourmet vanilla beans and vanilla products and where I purchased my beans for this project, has so kindly offered one lucky reader a gift set that includes 3 Madagascar vanilla beans and 3 Tahitian vanilla beans, plus a 1/2 ounce jar of ground vanilla. I truly believe in having fresh vanilla beans on hand at all times, and Beanilla is a quality and affordable source (ie: not the dry and dull beans that they sell in the grocery stores for $10 a pop). Do yourself a favor, buy a bunch. When the price per bean is so reasonable, you don't have to treat them like precious objects; you'll find yourself using them to gussy up your everyday dishes and baked goods.
To Enter:
Simply leave a comment on this post with the answer to this question:
What is your all time favorite vanilla recipe?
Entries open through 1/8/11 at 11:59 CST. I'll be randomly selecting the winner the morning of Sunday, January 9th. Prize will be shipped to the winner directly from Beanilla. Beanilla is willing to ship this prize internationally.
Want Extra Entries?
Increase your odds of winning! In addition to the main entry comment, leave a separate comment for each bonus entry.
1. Follow @loveandoliveoil on twitter and tweet the following:
I just entered to win a vanilla sampler from @beanilla and @loveandoliveoil! Enter here: http://bit.ly/eHuESh
2. Like Love & Olive Oil on Facebook (or if you are already a fan just say so!)
Be sure you enter a valid email address, because if your name is drawn and I can't get a hold of you within 48 hours, I will choose an alternate winner. You may also want to add me to your address book (lindsay AT loveandoliveoil DOT com), as I'd hate for your congratulatory email to end up in the spam folder.

BISD hires new PR assistant for Haynes
Despite facing the impact of budget cuts by the Texas Legislature and publicly announcing that "no one in the district, not even the superintendent" would receive a raise this year, Beaumont Independent School District spokesperson Jessie Haynes announced on Friday April 8 that she hired an assistant for the communications department.
The new employee, Craig Eichhorn, who most recently was employed by the Galena Park Independent School District, will interact with the media and help with what Haynes has described an exorbitant amount of work in her department.
Haynes claimed that Eichhorn is filling a position that has been vacant for three-years and refused to publicly disclose Eichhorn's salary despite promises of opened and transparency in a press release announcing the new hire.
"I am elated that Craig is joining our team," Haynes said. "Keeping the public informed and assuring transparency in all we do are critical. He brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and capabilities that will help the BISD Communications Department and the Office of the Superintendent in this age of expanded and new means of communications."
Even with the promises of transparency, Haynes, whose annual salary is $101,400 not including any bonuses, benefits or her expense account, refused a request by The Examiner to provide Eichhorn's compensation, which is public under Texas Law. Haynes said she wanted Eichhorn to have a day of privacy and instructed those interested in Eichhorn's salary to submit a public information request, which The Examiner did before the press conference ended. The Examiner also requested Eichhorn's records from his previous employers, as well as, all emails between him and Haynes for the past several months.
But then the focus of the press conference shifted from hiring a new employee and the amount of work he is facing to how Haynes claims the media is attacking BISD and that Eichhorn won't have as hard of a time as she does because he is a white male.
"I did tell him that the fact that you are a white male, you might not have as much of a hard time as I have being black female," Haynes said, as she pointed to her wrist as if she were indicating to the audience the color of her skin.
Haynes also said that only blacks in the district were "attacked" by the media.
"Everything you see about in the media about BISD if you take it and tell it like it is, anybody who is black has been attacked," Haynes said.
A review of Eichhorn's background showed that he has been with Galena-Park ISD as the director of communications since 2006. Prior to that he was the director of communications for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. He is a 1987 graduate of Texas A&M University and was a newspaper reporter in Atlanta and Houston. Eichhorn is a music fan, Tweets under the name of WyldeDawg and frequents Blue Water Seafood and Candelari's Pizzeria in Houston. He currently lives in Tomball.
When asked about this job being a step down on the career ladder, Eichhorn admitted that it appeared that way based on the title but that he is looking forward to working with BISD.
"What a great place to work," he said. "Look at what this leadership team is doing."

As a strictly residential area, it offers peace and tranquility as well as sweeping views of its high alpine surroundings. East Vail residents enjoy the many conveniently located hiking trails, a large dog park on the Eagle River, and several waterfalls along the north facing slopes. East Vail is convenient to the heart of town by the free bus system yet maintains moderate property prices in comparison.

We need a logo to serve as an umbrella to our overall branding campaign. General feel: something clean, friendly, professional, trustworthy. Our branding message is to save money and save the environment. Both are good!

PekaSys, Inc.
PekaSys is a new company that seeks to revolutionize the way businesses operate by inspiring them to be more green/sustainable.

Target Audience
Business leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs in companies large and small, who want to transition to a sustainable business practice, but don't have the tools to make the first step. They are concerned about obstacles, extra expenses, the ROI, etc.
- Overall: A logo that includes an image/graphic (if possible an interpretation of a river, but we'll consider other ideas as well) and the name "PekaSys."(current logo available for reference, but please be creative…!)
- Symbol: Bold, innovative, creative, business. The symbol should be able to stand alone without the text once we have built brand recognition (initially, we will use the logo both with the symbol and text together).
- Color: Green and Blue. You can mix in other colors…but Green and Blue should be primary (shades are up to you).
- Logo should look good when reduced (For examples: http://www.opportunitygreen.com/contact.php)
- Accepted File Formats: vector and .psd with layers, plus a .jpeg version and any fonts needed
Avoid *cliché images* such
as leaves, graphics with arrows (which suggest recycling) that appear

stand out from the crowd.

2 quarts of canned tomatoes (diced or whole)
1 garlic clove
1/4 onion
2 1/2 t. Knorr Caldo con sabor de Pollo (Chicken Flavor Bouillon) (this can be found in the mexican section of most grocery stores, Walmart and Costco) I am sure you can use chicken bouillon cubes as well.
1-2 quarts of milk
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
basil, oregano, pepper to taste
There is no exactness to this - you have to do it to taste, desired thickness, and desired amount - it can be easily halved. This amount easily serves 10 people.
Place tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, oregano, and chicken bouillon in blender on high. Allow to run for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy bottomed pan on med-high. Add flour and mix, making a nice roux. This may need more or less flour. You want a thick paste (almost too thick) consistency. While stirring, allow to cook for a few minutes, taking care not to burn. Place sieve over pan, and pour tomato mixture into roux, straining out all seeds. Quickly stir into roux, making sure to
eliminate any lumps. Continue stirring until entire mixture is smooth, heated, and on the brink of
boiling. Add milk (once again - to taste and desired thickness), stirring constantly. Heat stirring constantly, but do not bring to a boil (this will curdle the milk) and serve. Season with pepper and fresh basil to taste.
You can garnish with Parmesan or mozzarella cheese or I like to serve this with mozzarella grilled cheese sandwiches.

MySQL Notifier is a small utility that can keep watch over your Windows and MySQL services, notifying you of changes in their operation. Notifier is intended to run when Windows starts up and sits in the tray notification area watching the MySQL and Windows services you have configured.
Monitor Windows Services
MySQL Notifier watches your selected services and MySQL database connections for changes. When a monitored service changes state, you are notified using a notification balloon. You can then use the context menu for that service to manage the state of that service or possibly launch directly into MySQL Workbench. Service monitoring is limited to Windows computers, however monitoring of database connections is fully cross platform.
Monitor MySQL Connections
When you have a farm of MySQL instances that you want to keep an eye on, Notifier can help. Simply create the connection using Notifier or in Workbench and you can easily monitor it with Notifier. Notifier will keep an eye on the server using the connection given. If the server stops responding Notifier will gently nudge you taht something could be wrong. You can then go to Workbench or MySQL Enterprise Monitor for more detailed analysis.
Integration With MySQL Workbench
MySQL Notifer is fully connected to MySQL Workbench. In fact, they use the same connection list. So create a connection in Workbench and see if appear automatically in MySQL Notifier. If you are interested in a server enough to use it in Workbench then you likely want to keep an eye on it in Notifier. Also, directly from the server context menu in Notifier you can launch directly to either the Workbench Administration page or to the SQL Editor.
Integration with MySQL Installer
There's nothing worse than letting your software get out of date. That's why Notifier will use the new MySQL Installer to monitor your installed MySQL software and let you know when there are software updates available. If so, it will give you a gentle reminder along with a context menu to launch directly to MySQL Installer. Simple.

Tony Siragusa's book entertained us, even though he lied in the course of promoting it. But he consistently fails to entertain us on NFL telecasts. He also consistently fails to inform us, about football or, for that matter, anything else. This sweater was the high point of his 2012. Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston can only do so much to preserve what's left of the broadcast's integrity. And—no wonder—Fox has now bumped Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick into the second spot in its rotation, which means they (rather than Kenny, Moose, and Goose) will announce the less-attractive NFC playoff game during divisional weekend.
The network diplomatically told Newsday's Neil Best that "both broadcast teams had very strong years." But that's not true! Neither team had a strong year. If you're in the business of announcing NFL games, and you're not Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, you probably didn't have a strong year. (There's a possible exception here for Joe Buck, Ian Eagle, Mike Mayock, and Jon Gruden, depending on your taste.) But unless you're Tony Siragusa, you didn't ceaselessly bellow useless information from field level. I suppose that's an accomplishment.

BlackBerry's new all-touch Z10 may have only been announced a little over a week ago, but some intrepid nerds have already torn the phone to shreds. And inside? It looks a lot like a Samsung.
The teardown, by UBM TechInsights, isn't the most thorough, but at least it's a start. Taking a peek inside, they found, in terms of the main components, what they were expecting: a Snapdragon S4 Plus chips, some other Qualcommm parts, and Samsung-made RAM and storage.
One thing does stand out, though: across the board, many of the design decisions on the inside seem to run parallel with those made by Samsung for the Galaxy SIII. As they explain:
All in all, the Blackberry Z10 seems to incorporate many of the component selections of the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE. It's not certain if these decisions the designers made on what semiconductors, ICs and other modules to use were by design or by accident.
Given the success of the SIII, we think it's safe to say it's no accident. [UBM Techinsights via CrackBerry via Engadget]

"A beautifully written memoir of awakening and self-acceptance."– Kirkus Reviews
DeSilver's memoir recounts the adolescent and young-adult experiences that shaped his writing and artistic endeavors as an acclaimed poet.
Growing up in the upper-middle-class–Connecticut suburbs during the 1970s and '80s, DeSilver used alcohol at an early age to dull the emotional aches and pains he was too young to process. A sensitive observer even as a young child, he first experienced deep anxiety and loneliness after his parents hired an austere, often violent German governess to care for him and his two sisters. His fascinating parents (especially his feisty mother with her hilarious one-liners and anecdotes) struggled with addiction, too, although they are portrayed as loving yet detached from their children's emotional needs. DeSilver leaves for college and, pursuing photography and art, slowly begins dealing with his demons. After a series of damaging meltdowns and relationships, he finds a path to sobriety and self-awareness through therapy, meditation and nature, which help him transcend his battle with alcoholism. DeSilver details this pursuit of inner peace via his talent for painting rich imagery with words, while his keen ability to gracefully and openly express his vulnerability brightens and enriches the memoir. He writes honestly of the times in his life when he produced tiresome art amid a plethora of self-centered decisions. With eloquent metaphors, lyrical prose and subtle humor, DeSilver engagingly expresses his determination to examine his life's purpose. Told clearly but not chronologically, his path to sobriety leads to a life about much more than addiction.
A beautifully written memoir of awakening and self-acceptance.

MarshHall wrote:He's been on a tear lately with 2+ hits in 4 of the last 6 games. Five doubles during that span. Best part is only 4 strikeouts in those six games.
I would not be surprised to see his home run totals drop this year. At this point, he's proven he has plenty of power, but if he keeps going up there hacking and striking out 150+ times per season, then he's never going to get above AA.
Everyone in the O's organization knows he can crush the ball - he doesn't have to prove that by trying to hit a home run every game. His coaches are probably encouraging him to take a more patient approach at the plate and to just take what pitchers give him.
Brandon has always been a dead fastball hitter, but if you sit back and wait for fastballs at this level, you're not going to see a lot of pitches to hit - hence the 156 strikeouts and .270 batting average last year in A ball.
Again, he's got big-league pop but that's not enough. I'm sure the O's would much rather have him develop into a better overall hitter.

The unraveling of Anthony Weiner
Anthony Weiner has lost his mind.
At least, that's the conclusion most Democrats have come to.
Story Continued Below
There's really no other way they can explain how he's handled the revelations of his post-resignation sexts and his combative encounters with voters over the weekend looking for him to quit the mayor's race. But Monday night's needlessly dismissive brush off of the Clintons — the first family of Democratic politics who consider his wife a second daughter — surprised even people who thought they couldn't be surprised anymore by his political self-destructiveness.
And all for a campaign that's plummeting in the polls and heading, with every passing hour, toward a seemingly more inevitable fiery end.
( Also on POLITICO: Quinn: Spitzer shouldn't judge)
The question at this point isn't whether he'll win or be able to use his 2013 campaign to purge memories of his 2011 humiliation. It's just how defiant and, his critics argue, delusional, Weiner will get.
He recently suggested, for example, that the latest sexting revelations, and whatever else may be coming, will actually benefit him in the race and once he gets to City Hall. "I'm going to be a successful mayor because of it," he told the Staten Island Advance, "because it's going to give me a level of independence."
Somewhat amazingly, he tried for sympathy about being betrayed by his online liaisons — people, Weiner told the Daily News, "who I thought were friends, people I trusted when I communicated with them."
( QUIZ: Do you know Anthony Weiner?)
But the topper may have been Monday night, when he made another unforced and flagrant foul. Responding to reports that associates of Bill and Hillary Clinton believe they want him out of the race, Weiner said the opinions of the man who gave Huma Abedin away to him at their wedding and his wife's long-time boss — who also happen to be a former Democratic president and potentially future one — don't matter to him because they live in Westchester.
"I am not terribly interested in what people who are not voters in the city of New York have to say," Weiner said, even as Abedin was in Washington staffing Hillary Clinton for her visits with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
"He looks a guy who's at the deep end of the pool and he really doesn't know how to swim. For a guy whose whole reputation was how smart a political guy he was, how good he was on camera, how quick witted he was, this is part of the process of unraveling," said Bill Cunningham, a former communications director for Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
( WATCH: Spitzer: Not voting for Weiner)
Weiner's got two options, Cunningham said: Keep taking questions that prompt more incredible answers or refuse to speak about the scandal and get accused of going into hiding.
"Either way," Cunningham said, "he's caught in this spiral."
Several Democrats who knew him when he was in Congress believe the recent display is who Weiner actually is — an unvarnished version, perhaps, stripped of the protection of a government office and membership to the Washington club, but the real Weiner nonetheless.
"Remember, this is someone who thought he was unfairly pushed from office," said one source, referring to the initial days of scandal in 2011, when he admitted to sending messages he'd initially claimed were the work of hackers. In private conversations with Democratic leadership at the time, Weiner defiantly insisted he shouldn't have to quit, since he had broken no laws and his mistakes were personal failings, multiple sources said.
( PHOTOS: 8 times Weiner lied about lewd pics)
His mantra then was "let the voters decide." The mayoral campaign, and this last week in particular, have taken that to an extreme degree.
"I think this is the real Anthony. … He saw himself as a contender," said one veteran operative who knows Weiner.
The problem now, the operative said, is not so much Weiner's behavior as his "truthfulness" in describing it publicly.
More than anything, even people who thought Weiner had a real shot at making a mayoral runoff have expressed surprise that he didn't get everything out in the open in a New York Times magazine profile that effectively kicked off his campaign.
Weiner's every event now has a carnival-like quality. On Tuesday, his beleaguered press aide, Barbara Morgan, told reporters ahead of a candidates' forum that he would speak to them after the event, which proved untrue when the spindly Weiner walked briskly down the stairs and away from the throng giving chase.
A CNN reporter yelled a question at him about whether he'd fired off any recent sexts, after he gave a fuzzy answer to the Daily News. A debate ensued between the reporter and Morgan as to whether Weiner actually answered the question. "He said no," Morgan said repeatedly.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak told an enthusiastic rally of Jews from the former Soviet Union Thursday he hoped another million Jews from their previous homelands would settle in Israel.
"Give us a million more immigrants and we shall be not only the strongest but also the best," Barak told a huge public concert, which organizers said was attended by 200,000 people from the former Soviet Union and their families.
"This immigration is the best present Israel has received since its establishment" in 1948, he said, to the sustained applause of the crowd.
The concert, entitled "From Russia with Love" was a threefold commemoration marking the 10th anniversary of the wave of immigration of ex-Soviet Jews, the 52nd anniversary of the creation of the state of Israel, and the 55th anniversary of the Allied victory over the Nazis.
Top Russian pop stars performed before the appreciative, mainly youthful crowd gathered in a Tel Aviv park, in the biggest rally yet seen of Jews from the countries of the former Soviet Union.
Barak Sunday welcomed the millionth immigrant to arrive from there since the wave of immigration started in September 1989.
Russian-speaking immigrants make up a sixth of the Israeli population, which reached 6.2 million people at the end of 1999 - (AFP)

To Change Our Direction, It's Time to Follow Nature's Lead
I live among Chief Seattle's people, and one of the things I've learned from this experience is humility.
I say, "I've lived here 12 years—longer than I've lived anywhere!" And then I look around at the ancient petroglyphs and the shell middens that whiten the beaches, and I remember that my neighbors' ancestors have lived here for thousands of years. I talk about the growing divide in our society between the 1 percent and the 99 percent. Then I'm invited to a potlatch, where a seafood feast is followed by an outpouring of gift giving. Ah yes, these people figured out centuries ago that inequality upsets the delicate balances that allow societies to thrive. So instead of gaining status from accumulating stuff, they earn respect by giving it away.
One of the old stories tells of a time when people and animals were on equal foot ing, and they were all hungry. They made a wager. Whichever side won a game of chance could eat the other. Humans won, but not by much. There's humility in that story, too—it could have gone the other way.
When the Suquamish Tribe began making its way out of the devastation caused by having their land taken away and their culture suppressed, one of their first priorities was to restore habitat for salmon and shellfish. The tribe, with its staff of biologists, is now among the most relentless forces for clean water and fish habitat in this area.
When a nearby saltwater bay was closed to shellfish harvesting because of pollution, I figured cleaning up that bay would be too difficult. Just harvest somewhere else! But tribal leaders saw it differently, and now I do, too. Each place is sacred—even places dominated by strip malls, industry, and parking lots. Nature doesn't write off parts of the Earth, and neither can we. This place we live is all we have. There is no place "else."
After years of patient work, that bay is now clean; tribal members go out on the sandy flats at low tide with buckets and digging forks and bring home shellfish for themselves—and to share.
It takes humility to recognize that what we've called progress isn't always for the better and that sometimes nature's original idea was a better one. Here are some of the lessons I've learned over years living among the Suquamish people and months asking "What would nature do?"
- Nature works in cycles. There is no place to throw things "away." When nature's systems are working, every kind of waste nourishes another part of the system. We humans can produce that way, too.
- Nature is a self-organizing and adaptive network of relationships. Except when these relationships are disrupted, this network generates yet more life and relationships, in forms that are competitive and cooperative, and unimaginably diverse.
- Nature uses current energy (mostly from the sun), not fossil energy. And it doesn't draw down the principal of the Earth's largess. It lives off the interest. That means it can continue indefinitely.
I grew up in a culture that claimed the right to conquer, use up, and displace nature. Human intelligence coupled with technology would take us on a one-way trip to a brighter future, we were told.
Today, as we reach the limits of what life on Earth can tolerate, we need a little less hubris and a little more humility. If we learn from nature and from our indigenous brothers and sisters, I now believe we'll have a much better shot at that bright future.
Can a boat be designed to clean the water? How does a spider manufacture resilient fiber? We need products that don't harm us or the environment. Nature's already done the research.
A California proposal would offset the state's climate-altering emissions by paying for forest conservation in Chiapas. Could there be unintended consequences in a region with a history of human rights abuse and land grabs?
Left alone, natural systems keep nitrogen, carbon, and other key ingredients of life balanced. We just need to stop overloading them.

Guinness Record-Holding Triathlete Heads to Kona
James Lawrence has checked more race boxes than most of us ever will. But this year, he gets to check the biggest one of all.
by Carrie Barrett
It all started with a four-mile run and challenge from his wife. Even though James Lawrence, originally from Calgary, Alberta, was healthy and active, he struggled with each step, cursing how much he hated to run. But he wouldn't quit. Just a few months later, Lawrence crossed the finish line of his first marathon. This, back in 2005, was the first in a series of challenges that would lead him to triathlon and eventually into the record books.
The 38-year-old now resides in Utah and holds two spots in the Guinness Book of World Records for triathlon: one for the most long-course races in a year (22 in 30 weeks in 2010), and one for the most ultra-distance triathlons in a year (30 in 2012). This October, Lawrence will finally get to race on the hallowed ground of Kona as a Legacy winner for the 2014 IRONMAN World Championship.
Completing the Vineman Triathlon in 2009 marked the beginning of what would, in due course, become an epic quest. In 2009, Lawrence focused on IRONMAN 70.3 races, and did IRONMAN 70.3 Boise (he loves the noon start), and IRONMAN 70.3 Calgary, his hometown race. Then an idea came to him: Why not try to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the most triathlon races in a year? The following year, he stepped it up big time, racing 21 IRONMAN 70.3 races, plus another local race of equal distance, to raise funds and awareness for the African humanitarian charity, QuietWay.org.
Related: Lottery and Legacy Winners React
Lawrence says that at first, he wasn't even aware that there was a world record to be broken. "There were people rooting for me and then there were people who thought it couldn't be done, or that my body wouldn't hold up," he says. "I wanted to prove them prove them both right and wrong simultaneously." In 2011, he stepped it back up, tackling IRONMAN Canada, and then went on to travel to 11 countries to finish more IRONMAN races and raise additional awareness for QuietWay. Somewhere along the way, he did his 12 IRONMAN races, qualifying him not just for a world record, but for the IRONMAN Kona Legacy program.
Lawrence says he couldn't have achieved the success he has without the support of his wife, a full-time student, and sponsors, friends and strangers he's connected with along the way. "We definitely had to come together as a family to make this work," says the father of five. "We literally bootstrapped 2010 and relied on the generosity of others." It strengthened his faith in humanity, too, as the people he met along the loaned him cars, cooked him meals, gave him a bed to sleep in and helped pay for travel expenses and race fees.
Now a coach, personal trainer and motivational speaker, Lawrence has dedicated his life to spreading the word that no goal is too big as long as you believe in your journey and have the conviction to see it through. He shares this passion with his children and the athletes he coaches, reciprocating the generous spirit he encountered in his travels by giving back to the sport. One of his most memorable races was racing as a guide for a boy named Dayton, who suffers from cerebral palsy. He did the entire race with the young man attached to him via boat, bike, and chair. It was one of his hardest, but also most rewarding events.
With his pursuits having taken him all over the world, Lawrence has faced just about every weather condition imaginable. "I swam in 50-degree water and ran in 105-degree heat. I've raced in hail and sleet," he says. Even though the potential Kona conditions don't scare him, the allure of the race is always spine tingling. "Kona is such an elusive place," he says. "It's the pinnacle of our sport and I can't wait to race with the best in the world."
Even after everything he's accomplished, this avid golfer still has his sights set on new goals. Next year will be "epic," he assures, with subtle hints of what is to come. After Kona, he's also looking forward to racing the new IRONMAN Fortaleza (Brazil) in November. The other thing he's really looking forward to? "People ask me all the time if I've done 'that big race in Kona,'" he says with a laugh. "I finally get to say YES!"

HHMI Symposium
The Dixon lab has recently identified a family of atypical "secreted" kinases that constitute a novel branch within the human kinome tree. The Fam20-family of kinases appears to be responsible for the phosphorylation of extracellular proteins and proteoglycans. What defines these kinases is the presence of a signal peptide that directs these enzymes to the secretory pathway where phosphorylation of ER/Golgi resident proteins, extracellular domains of cell surface receptors, xylose residues within the glycosaminoglycan-protein linkage and secreted proteins occurs.
