Despite the fact that the House is poised to pass a bill Tuesday to hinder the Department of Labor's rerelease of its fiduciary rule, the primary architect of the rule, Phyllis Borzi, said the same day that "it is entirely possible" that the reproposal could be at the Office of Management and Budget by year-end.
"We are coming very close to finishing our work" on the re-proposed rule, Borzi, assistant secretary of Labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration, told attendees at the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries' annual conference in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington.
The "conflicts of interest rule," she continued, is DOL's "highest priority."
Indeed, OMB released a statement Monday that President Barack Obama's senior advisors would recommend that he veto H.R. 2374, the Retail Investor Protection Act, introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo, which would require the DOL to wait to repropose its fiduciary rule until 60 days after the Securities and Exchange Commission issues its fiduciary proposal under Section 913 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
While the Republican-controlled House "will likely pass" Wagner's bill, Borzi told ThinkAdvisor after her remarks, "we're a long way from having a law."
Said Borzi: "My job is to get my work done."
OMB said that the administration "strongly opposes passage of H.R. 2374 because it would derail important rulemakings" underway at the SEC and DOL "that are critical to protecting Americans' hard-earned savings and preserving their retirement security."
H.R. 2374 "prohibits Labor from issuing a rule to protect investors until the SEC engages in and completes further study of the effect of a rulemaking on retail investors," OMB said. "The bill ignores the fact that significant work has already been conducted in both agencies and that the agencies have included and continue to include the public, industry and numerous stakeholders in their rulemaking processes."
The two agencies, OMB continued, "are already working closely to avoid conflicting requirements for the regulated community, and this legislation would hamper effective coordination between the two agencies. The bill would hinder efforts to protect consumers from conflicts of interest among brokers, dealers, financial advisors, and others whose incentives may be misaligned with investors, potentially leading to deceptive and abusive practices."
OMB has a minimum of 90 days to review DOL's rule. However, as Borzi stated during her comments at the ASPPA event, the recent 16-day government shutdown "was a long time for those of us involved in government," and a "backlog has accumulated in a wide variety of activities, including at OMB."
H.R. 2374 passed the House Financial Services Committee by a 44-13 vote in June.
One industry official told ThinkAdvisor that Wagner's legislation may not die in the Senate, "especially if it gets strong bipartisan support in the House." Support for such legislation in the Senate, however, is unclear.
Wagner said in her Sunday video message that her bill would "prohibit the DOL from issuing any new rules unless the SEC acts first," and require the SEC "to perform some common-sense due diligence to determine whether any new rules are necessary."
Said Wagner: "When federal agencies overreach, as they have in this case, it's the responsibility of Congress to intervene and stand up for hardworking American families who ultimately pay the price for misguided regulations."
Chris Paulitz, spokesman for the Financial Services Institute, said that Wagner's bill "sends yet another message to the Department that many in Congress are concerned about the rule's impact on retirement advice for small investors." FSI, which has been a staunch opponent of DOL's fiduciary rule, is "working to ensure that the Department of Labor's rule proposal doesn't limit access to quality, affordable advice for middle-class Americans, [which is] our top priority."
Borzi noted at the ASPPA event, as she has previously, that the reproposed rule — which is a redraft of the one pulled by the department in 2010 — will include three parts: the text of the reg; the preamble explaining "why we are doing this"; and an "extraordinarily robust" economic analysis.

Reprieves, squandered second chances and weekend stuff
A bucketload of Sunday transactions
The Jays have been nudging the pawns around board for the past few weeks, adding players with marginal roles like DeWayne Wise and Nick Green to the roster, while sending Jeremy Reed away and waiting for Travis Snider's wrist to recover.
But Sunday's transactions are a bit more intriguing to us. The Jays dispatched Jorge Padilla to the Mets for essentially nothing, which tipped us off that something else might be moving later in the day. (We can't remember is Padilla was still on the 40-man, but we figured a move like that was making room for something else.)
Before the Jays even had time to hit the showers after yesterday's loss to the Giants, the team announced that they were calling up Triple-A slugger Jarret Hoffpauir, while sending Edwin Encarnacion off to Vegas to chill and get his swing back.
We love the move to bring up Hoffpauir, as it shows that the team might not be quite so stubborn about trying to get the most out of the minor-league veterans on its roster. He's posting a .910 OPS in Vegas, with more walks (21) than strikeouts (15), which shows a level of maturity with the strike zone. Moreover, he's in his 27 year-old season, which means (if the old scouting addage holds true) that the next few years might be his most productive. So why not give him a chance?
The only thing that is perplexing about this is the sequence of adding journeyman Nick Green and his career .656 OPS to the mix while dispatching Encarnacion, who's OPSing .765 this year. We're not entirely sure what Encarnacion is supposed to learn at this point in the PCL, and the Jays should know that they have a guy who will hit the ball hard and whiff a lot. We're not sure how that's supposed to change from here on out.
Maybe this is just the beginning of the end for Edwin.
A Minor League Hero is something to be
Another couple of transactions that might have slipped below the radar drew our attention this weekend. First off, our off-season mancrush Brian Dopirak was dropped from the 40-man roster and outrighted to Vegas.
It's funny to us now how much we spent the off-season bitching and moaning about the raw deal that Dopirak and Randy Ruiz were getting, and how the Jays should be making room for both of them on the 25-man roster. Now, Ruiz is getting back into game shape and helping the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, while Dopirak is rocking a sub-.700 OPS and grounding into double plays like your grandma.
We're sure there's a lesson to be learned there.
Meanwhile, Kevin Ahrens (the next Chipper!) and his .524 OPS was shipped from high-A Dunedin to end-of-the-line Lansing last week, with an order to stop with his switch-hitting nonsense (Thanks to Lott at the NP.) We'd say something hopeful about the young-ish (21) Ahrens' chances of pulling it together, but a slide back to the Midwest League at this point pretty much wipes clear most of the optimism that we might have had for him.
Litsch is bitchin'; Brian leaves us cryin'
How good did Jesse Litsch look on Saturday? Good enough that we're going to give him one week's worth of free passes. There shall be no discussion of his follicular colouring or pigmentation, nor shall there be any brickbats launched at the expense of his physique. You toss a three-hitter where you attack hitters like that, and you get yourself a nice reprieve.
As for the man he replaced in the rotation, Mr. Tallet: Shave your stupid lambchops, you beatnik.
Optimism! More Optimism Please!
Five Dunedin Blue Jays were named to the Florida State League All-Star game, including starter Henderson Alvarez, catchers Travis d'Arnaud and Yan Gomes and infielder Tyler Pastornicky. (And some other dude got added, but we're inclined to believe that it was a sympathy thing...or we're just too lazy to go back and find who it was.)
We've got a lot invested emotionally in Alvarez, d'Arnaud and Pastornicky at this point, so any good news coming from wherever they are is fine by us. We just wish we didn't have to wait so long for them to get here, because the more levels that they have to traverse, the more that we get nervous about whether if they can surmount the next obstacle.
On the other hand, the past few weeks worth of performance from J.P. Arencibia (still young at 24!) has us feeling like we might actually start to see real live prospects emerge from the system any day now. Arencibia is doing a passable job in terms of throwing runners out (24%) while reclaiming some of his past form at the plate (.884 OPS, 14 HRs, 35 RsBI.) It was in his 24th year that Mike Napoli finally emerged from the minors to start making a dent in Anaheim, and Arencibia's numbers compare pretty favorably with the Angel's backstop.
We could definitely learn to live with that.

Great post, Tao.
About JMac, Bastian had a quote from Wells after the game, where V-Dub said it was "the happiest loss of our pro careers." That said it all right there. Just a fantastic moment. Thankfully Tallet shit the bed. Mac doesn't get a chance if Tallet pitches half-decent.
And I'm with you: I like all the moves. AA's been busy pretty much all season. As for Edwin, he'll be back. So we can listen to the Encarnacion song again.
I was at Jesse's start on Saturday. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. I figured I was drunk with heat stroke and was hallucinating. Kid was dope. Those are the Litsch-Tits I fell in love with.
And this: Mr. Tallet: Shave your stupid lambchops, you beatnik. really ought to be on a sign.
I can't fucking wait for the Arencibias and Wallaces to get up here. Looking forward to seeing what Hoff can do. These are good baseball times.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:22 AM
I may be off here, but I'm thinking the EE move was more for his defense, it seems like every time he scoops one up that Overbay is gonna pull something he has to stretch so far.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:35 AM
- The Ack said...
Perhaps the loss of the Encarnacion Song can be somewhat mitigated by the theme from Knight Rider or something. I'd suggest the Baywatch theme, but that would just be wrong.
Buck kinda missed the call on JMac's shot, I thought. Tabby jumped in with the "goosebumps", at least. Never heard Jerry & Alan's take, but I couldn't help but wonder how Tom Cheek would have handled it. Just a great, great baseball moment.
And yeah, load up or go young in the next few months - either way, I'm down, man.

Also: I've never been a big National Post guy, but Jon Lott does some fine bloody work over there. And he's created a niche for himself on Twitter, with his minor league updates, instead of telling me what's happening in the game at hand, like all the other MSM guys over there. Lott's a must-follow on the ol' Twitter, yo.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:41 AM

Agreed on Lott with his minor league coverage....though sometimes I intentionally skip his nightly MiLB stat tweets because it spoils the enjoyment I derive from perusing the boxscores on my own.
Yeah, I'm a nerd.

I was listening to the radio broadcast on Sunday, and Alan and Jerry went through an interesting bit about EE. Apparently he had struck out on a wild pitch and proceeded not to even attempt a run down to first. Alan and Jerry said they thought someone needed to get in EE's face about a perceived lack of effort at the plate, though they weren't sure who in the Jays' clubhouse would pull such a move. I may have been reading into it, but it seemed like they were reining themselves in, not wanting to go off on EE.
I guess what I'm saying is that there could be all sorts of fun reasons he was sent down.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:49 AM
You want my take on EE's demotion? I think AA saw it as the only way to get Hoffpauir regular at bats. If he leaves EE with the big club, then Hoffpauir rots on the bench as Cito goes on about getting EE at bats so that he can get a good contract, feed his family, etc.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:56 AM
By the way, listening to Johnny Mac's homer on the radio was golden. It made me glad that I was in the car at the time.
- June 21, 2010 at 11:58 AM
- Tao of Stieb said...
I had forgotten about that bit that Jerry and Alan had on EE, re: not making the catcher make a throw on that play.
I think they were conscious of the fact that it wasn't the end of the world, and Alan kinda said that EE might not have realized where the ball ended up, but still. You don't have to be a gitty gamer to at least make the catcher make a throw.
Re: Anon 11:56 comment - You're probably right. The Manager might not have given the opportunity to Jarrett if he still had EE there, and might have left him to rot for a month.
The Manager's reign can't end quickly enough.

The four and a half mill that he's getting this year ought to feed them for a while...
- June 21, 2010 at 12:13 PM
- Ty said...
I listened to most of the games on the radio this past week, and Jerry and Alan (actually, mostly Jerry, surprisingly enough) made some very direct comments about Edwin's lack of hustle on at least three separate broadcasts, as I remember it. Jerry went to far as to drop the word "unacceptable" a few times and even said something along the lines of "if that's the hardest you can run, then you have no business being here." It reminded me of the time he went off on Rios after he went to Chicago, except EE was still on the team this time around.
I found it really unusual to hear at the time, but obviously Jerry and Alan weren't the only ones who noticed it. I'd be very surprised if his effort level didn't at least partially play into the demotion. After all, he has pretty much the exact same line as Aaron Hill so far this season, and I think it's safe to assume he won't be sent down any time soon.
- June 21, 2010 at 12:54 PM
- Ty said...
As for why they didn't just send him to the bench, it seems to me that he'd be pretty useless there -- pinch hitting doesn't happen in Toronto anymore, and "defensive substitution" is definitely not on E5's resume.
Coincidentally that's pretty much the reason they picked up Nick Green in the first place -- they wanted to see what McCoy could do with every day playing time, and he obviously wasn't being used off the bench enough here to be useful in any way. AA said they had "some questions about him that could only be answered with regular playing time," which I think is more or less the same deal for EE.
- June 21, 2010 at 1:01 PM
The beginning of the end of E5.
This doesn't mean that Brett Wallace is the team's third baseman next season, does it? Or is this the beginning of some rotating auditions for next year?
- June 21, 2010 at 1:24 PM
- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
Wallace is playing 1B out in Viva Las Vegas.
Bautista at 3B next year; Wallace at 1B. Lewis LF, Vernon CF, Snider in RF. Lind as DH. If they don't trade A-Gon and pick up his option, he's back at SS. Hopefully Arincibia's ready behind the plate, with Molina as his back-up (I figure Buck will find work as a regular with someone else; perhaps we can trade him.)
I'm very excited.
- June 21, 2010 at 1:26 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Oh, and nobody look at what Hechevarria is doing in Dunedin.
I told you not to look, damn it.
- June 21, 2010 at 1:31 PM
- The Ack said...
Am I crazy, or is Bautista a free agent after the season? Because if he is, I'm not paying the dollars he's sure to look for if he has even a moderate second half.
But maybe that's just me.
And no, I dunno who plays 3B if that's the case.
- June 21, 2010 at 1:58 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Bautista's got one more arbitration year left. Then, free agency in 2012.
- June 21, 2010 at 2:04 PM
- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
We're in luck, because it looks like Jo-Bau isn't going to hit another home run this season.
Ack, now that Hoff is up with the big club, Brad Emaus will hopefully be the everyday third baseman down in Vegas. He's only 24 and since his call up to AAA, his line this year reads (18 games): .339/.409/.542
- June 21, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
And suddenly, no one gives a shit about Scott Campbell.
(Whaaaaat?! It's true!)

- Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf) said...
We should have known the Kiwi couldn't play baseball!1 In all seriousness, his numbers are frightful. Yikes.
- June 21, 2010 at 2:35 PM
- The Ack said...
It's about time I took Emaus seriously, you are correct. At least until the Jays trade a young arm and a reliever for a high upside 3B. What?
(oh, and the GCL Jays underway today. Marisnick! Hobson! Prospects! Boxscores!)
- June 21, 2010 at 2:43 PM
- Peter DeMarco said...
Hopefully people will remember next year not to get to excited about career minor league guys like they did with McCoy, Ruiz and Dopirak this year.
As for Arencibia, he is John Buck/Rod Barajas all over again, but will probably have a few inconsistent years before he's consistently mediocre.
Finally, I really really (did I say really) worry that Brett Wallace is a below average offensive and defensive 1B. His numbers are underwhelming, especially if you take out that two week period where he hit like 10 home runs.
- June 21, 2010 at 3:20 PM
- The Ack said...
Peter D bringin' the sunshine on a cloudy Monday!
Here's what I hate about Vegas and the PCL: if a player doesn't OPS > 1.0, his numbers are suspect.
Arencibia might be Rod Buck v3.0, but maybe he's Mike Napoli. Wallace (at the dish) might be Overbay (which, 2010 notwithstanding, wouldn't be a total disaster), but maybe he's Kendry Morales. Why not twist the stats to say "get rid of the last 5 or 6 weeks, and Wallace is a monster!"? It's the same sort of speculation, and yet you say it with such certainty....
Point is, we don't know. These guys aren't stiffs, they're legit prospects with a pedigree, so nothin' wrong with hoping, is there?
- June 21, 2010 at 3:33 PM
- The Ack said...
Whoa....E5 DFA'd?
- June 21, 2010 at 3:41 PM
- Tony said...
EE DFA's, making me go WTF?
Okay, that was fun, but seriously... what?
- June 21, 2010 at 3:45 PM
- Ty said...
Wow, didn't expect that one. The good news is that Emaus doesn't have to move off 3B to make room for him now, and I guess we don't have to worry about who'll sit when Snider gets back, but... crazy stuff.
AA's message to the rest of the team: run hard on ground balls, or get the fuck out, apparently. Fundamentals!!!1
- June 21, 2010 at 3:48 PM
- Peter DeMarco said...
What concerns me is Wallace's K/BB ratio, which in my opinion should throw out any comparison to Overbay. If Wallace is to have success at the major league level, I think he will need to hit for a high average. Additionally, I do not see Morales being a good comparison either, this is because Morales was always identified as a player with a lot of power, most scouting projections believe that Wallace has limited power and is probably a 15-20 HR guy. Any positives I've read about Wallace are usually generic like 'This guy is a hitter' whatever the heck that means.
I would love Arencibia to develop into Napoli, but I would be surprised if this were to happen.
I think this organization should be looking at ways to acquire more hitting prospects, and given their depth at pitching, trading from depth is usually the best solution to address weaknesses.
- June 21, 2010 at 3:50 PM
- Ty said...
Peter, for what it's worth, I read yesterday that Wallace stopped raking around the same time they started having him work super-duper-extra hard on his defence, which was lacking at the beginning of the year. They say he's now making plays he never could have dreamed of making back in April, but the extra hours of fielding practice every day were taking a toll on his hitting, so last week they decided to back off and just do a few sessions a week with him instead of going at it every day. Since then, he's already hit two home runs.
- June 21, 2010 at 4:24 PM
- Peter DeMarco said...
To be honest, I find Wallace's minor results to be very similar to when a young Vernon Wells was coming up through the system. If that means anything?
- June 21, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Watching E5 turn on a few fastballs earlier this season, I would think there will be a GM out there that will take a flyer on the guy. KC Royals, I'm looking in your direction. The Twins are on the hunt. Angels to build a 1st base platoon for a while.
But come on, E5 was in the perfect situation for him to succeed and the Jays gave up on him. His defense was helped by having Overbay (and Gonzales, and Butters no less) plus a Manager and Hitting Coach are all about power hitters with a thing for vets.
If the home radio guys are taking shots at effort, then things behind the scenes are usually way worse. But, the guy does have a wicked swing when it works.

As per the scribes, EE's DFA is just a paperwork move. Nobody's touching that salary on waivers.
Everyone's just shitting all over Edwin today. EE needs some loving. Or a drink. Hope he cleans up at the blackjack table tonight.
- June 21, 2010 at 5:29 PM
- Ty said...
Team Scrappy: I dunno about KC, if they don't have room for Alex Gordon and his 1.000+ OPS in AAA then I'm certain they wouldn't have room for EE. But hey, I guess if any front office in baseball has their head far enough up their own ass to make that mistake, I guess it'd be them.

After his hot return in the desert, you can count the number of balls E5 has squared up since on one hand. That guy was just a stiff who got lucky and talked some GM into a huge contract. He will not be missed.

Of all the fabulous and quirky names out there such as aubergine, brinjal, melanzane, and egg apple, we had to go with "eggplant." It's such a dull name to describe such a singular vegetable. (Botanically, it's a fruit, but we all use it as a vegetable, so let's go with that.)
Why "eggplant"? Apparently some 18th century European cultivars resembled goose or hen's eggs, so planters called them "eggplants."
Eggplants have a long history. They are native to India where they were first cultivated over 4,000 years ago. During the Middle Ages Arabs introduced eggplant to the Mediterranean region. Eventually European explorers introduced eggplant to places such as Africa and North America. Today China, India, and Egypt are the world's leading producers of eggplant.
Eggplants are available year-round in most major supermarkets, but they are best during August-October, their prime growing season. So here are some tips on how to select, store, and cook with eggplant:
How do you select eggplant?
- Look for glossy, richly colored skin that is free of dimples and bruises. Pick it up. It should be firm and heavy for its size. Gently squeeze it; it should give slightly. Avoid either rock hard or squishy eggplants.
- Store unwashed, uncut eggplant in the crisper drawer for up to 2-3 days. Once you cut the eggplant, the flesh will begin to oxidize, or turn brown. That's okay. It's not bad, just not pretty. If, however, you cut into the eggplant, and it's already streaked with brown, or the seeds are blackened, then toss it. It's old.
- Rinse the eggplant with water, and cut off the green top. Use a very sharp knife; otherwise, the rubbery skin will make slicing difficult.
- Many people swear by "sweating" raw eggplant before cooking it; that is, sprinkling it with salt and letting it rest for 30 minutes, to remove the bitterness. I have done it and have never noticed any significant difference. To me, it's more important to by a fresh eggplant.
- Eggplant can be steamed, sauteed, roasted, broiled, baked, or grilled.
- 1 cup of eggplant is only 27 calories and is a very good source of dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B1 and B6.
- Roast it and make dips such as baba ganoush or tomato-eggplant jam; grill it for a delicious appetizer; add it to salads, sandwiches, and soups; make caponata; add it to pasta, risotto, and grains such as farro; add it to lasagna; use it as a pizza topping; make a big dish of eggplant parmigiana.
Of all the cooking methods, grilling may be the kindest to eggplant. The intense heat lightly chars the outside of the eggplant, lending it an irresistible smokiness, yet keeping the flesh deliciously tender and creamy. These Grilled Eggplant Napoleons are ideal for a dinner party -- they're a breeze to make yet make a grand impression.
Grilled Eggplant Napoleons
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
a generous sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium eggplant, sliced into 3/4-inch rounds, about 20 slices total
1-2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing eggplant
a generous sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large beefsteak tomatoes (or large heirloom tomatoes), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 small bunch of fresh basil
8-10 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1. Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Preheat grill to medium high.
3. Brush eggplant slices with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place on a hot grill that has been lightly oiled. Grill eggplant for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred.
4. To assemble stacks, start by placing an eggplant slice on a plate. Top with a slice of cheese, then tomato, then basil. Repeat one more time. End with a slice of eggplant. Repeat with remaining ingredients until 4 stacks are made. Drizzle with dressing, and serve immediately.
Drizzle with basil pesto.
Substitute arugula for basil.
Add slices of roasted red pepper.
Add olive tapenade in between layers.

At the close of business this coming Sunday, the NFL will welcome the 47th Super Bowl champion to its most exclusive team fraternity.
So how do we rank the previous 46?
That's a dangerous project, one guaranteed to bring arguments from many fan bases.
But I have decided I'm up to the task, especially after sampling a few of the old NFL Films Super Bowl productions from over the weekend.
ESPN did a somewhat similar list several years ago, ranking all 80 Super Bowl participants at the time.
That would really be starting too much trouble, ranking teams who have lost Super Bowls ahead of teams that actually got their name on the trophy.
So here it is, all 46 Super Bowl champions – starting with the dreaded Worst team ever to win the Super Bowl…
The Bottom 16
46. 1970 Baltimore Colts
Actually, naming the worst Super Bowl champion is not a hard decision.
The 1970 Colts went through much of the old AFL in the NFL's first post-merger season and then defeated the third-year Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders. The Super Bowl V win was over the Dallas Cowboys in a game in which it was a shame someone had to win.
Incidentally, on the NFC side the Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions in a Divisional playoff game in which the final score-line was 5-0. Here is some cool CBS post-game footage from the game with coach Tom Landry being interviewed.
45. 1968 New York Jets
Super Bowl III remains a benchmark event for professional football, and the Jets delivered in proving that the AFL had arrived in becoming equal with the original NFL.
From the highlights of that game though, it seemed like the Colts did not come to play that day. There have even been conspiracy theories over the years that the game was a "production."
I don't buy those theories, but I do believe that the '68 Colts considered winning the old "NFL Championship" as the big game and mistakenly considered the Jets game as a mere formality.
44. 1969 Kansas City Chiefs
Hank Stram's squad sent the old AFL out on a high note with a convincing trashing of the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV, proving the Jets upset of the previous year not to be a fluke.
The Chiefs were very talented, but the Vikings were perhaps the least impressive of 1960s' "NFL Champions." And Joe Kapp ranks near the bottom of starting QB's ever in the big game.
43. 1967 Green Bay Packers
The Lombardi Era has always had its rightful place in league history. But the fifth and last of the Packers 1960s championships was its least impressive, as by this time Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung were among those who left the building.
Green Bay went 9-4-1 in the regular season. And then there was the Ice Bowl. Everyone knows the final chapter but does not talk about how Dallas rallied from 14-0 to lead 17-14 going into the Packers' final drive.
If Bart Starr or a lineman slips on that final QB sneak, the Cowboys would have been NFL Champions. As it was, the Packers won, then took care of business against a young Oakland Raiders team two weeks later.
The following year the Packers were a 6-7-1 team, which started 20+ years of futility for the franchise.
42. 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I had to stick a somewhat recent champion near the bottom.
Controversy recently erupted over Tim Brown's allegation that Bill Callahan "sabotaged" the game to let friend Jon Gruden win.
Watching the NFL Films production, it was interesting hearing Jerry Rice gripe in the first half about not getting the ball. Truth be told, Super Bowl 37 was decided when Raiders center Barrett Robbins went off the deep end in Tijuana a couple nights earlier.
Brad Johnson was the third-rated QB in the NFC that year, but defense (Sapp, John Lynch, etc.) carried this team.
41. 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers
It's hard to slot the teams who caught fire at the right time.
The first sixth-seed to ever win the Super Bowl, the Steelers literally had to run the table after starting 7-5.
The signature moment of the playoff run en route to Super Bowl XL was Ben Roethlisberger's tackle to prevent a would-be TD return in the Divisional playoff at Indianapolis.
40. 1980 Oakland Raiders
The first team who had to go through the Wild Card round to win it all.
A telling moment was Mike Davis picking off Brian Sipe in the infamous "Red Right 88" play. With anyone other than the ailing Don Cockcroft kicking that day, Cleveland would have won.
Oakland's championship was especially awkward with Pete Rozelle handing the SB XV trophy to Al Davis, who at the time was in a middle of a lawsuit with the league.
39. 2001 New England Patriots
Some people still put an asterisk on New England's first championship in SB 36 because of the Tuck Rule.
Still, New England has to earn points for upsetting the heavily favored St. Louis Rams. The Pats would prove not to be a one-hit wonder in the decade that followed.
38. 1987 Washington Redskins
This was the Doug Williams team that exploded for 35 points in the second quarter of the Skins' Super Bowl 22 win over Denver.
The team's 11-4 regular season record was padded by the replacement team going 3-0 while the NFL varsity was on strike early in the season. And Timmy Smith's 204 rushing yards ranks as the biggest one-hit wonder ever.
37. 1982 Washington Redskins
I would like to rank Joe Gibbs' first championship team higher. They went 12-1 after finishing the previous campaign 8-8 (after starting 0-5).
The Miami Dolphins did not provide much opposition in SB 17. An early 76-yard David Woodley pass and a Fulton Walker kickoff return accounted for Miami's two TDs that day. The 'Skins were able to stick around until John Riggins (166 yards) took over late.
36. 1981 San Francisco 49ers
In real time, the Super Bowl 16 matchup at the Pontiac Silverdome between the 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals was an odd battle of Cinderellas, and two franchises who hadn't amounted to much in the previous several seasons.
Of the Niners five championships teams, I'll slot this as the worst. Joe Montana was a bit young yet and Roger Craig and Jerry Rice had not yet arrived.
35. 2000 Baltimore Ravens
The Super Bowl 35-winning team featured one of the best defenses in league history, and it began Ray Lewis' "vindication."
That defense needed to be nothing short of legendary to win with Trent Dilfer at QB. And Kerry Collins was easy pickings for the Ravens in Tampa.
34. 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers
The first of the Steelers' four championship teams in the 70s was not close to peaking on the offensive side, but defensively was one of the best ever.
Franco Harris ran wild in an ugly 16-6 win outdoors in a frigid rain in New Orleans over the Vikings in SB 9. That game was 2-0 Pittsburgh at halftime.
Rookies on this team included Swann, Lambert, Stallworth, and Webster. The best was yet to come.
33. 1988 San Francisco 49ers
This team gets ranked relatively low only due to a 10-6 regular season that featured Steve Young stepping in at QB during the season.
The 49ers routed the Chicago Bears in frigid conditions at Soldier Field before winning an epic Super Bowl 23 over the Cincinnati Bengals with a late Montana drive.
32. 2010 Green Bay Packers
Another team I will put relatively low for being a six-seed in the playoffs.
As I said during that season, the Pack in reality had to win six games consecutively at the end of the season, like a low-seed making an NCAA basketball tourney run.
Green Bay's championship vindicated Aaron Rodgers and was achieved despite numerous injuries to key starters throughout the season.
31. 2003 New England Patriots
It's kind of hard to knock the New England championship teams. Interestingly, the team that was undefeated in 2007 was arguably better than the three teams that won.
The Carolina Panthers took the Pats to the wire in SB 38 before the Tom Brady/Adam Vinatieri late-game heroics for the second time in three seasons.
Ricky Proehl would make a great bridesmaid at any wedding.
Where is the Greatest Show on Turf? How about Peyton Manning's Colts? And the recent Giants' championship teams?

Many teens are very casual about sharing personal information online because they fail to fully understand the ramifications of doing so. You will rarely feel any immediate negative consequences for giving out information. Much of the time you may never understand that there was a connection between something we, a friend, or family member posted and a consequence that comes later.
Think of a drop of water. When a drop of water lands, it is either absorbed, evaporates, or becomes part of a larger body of water and is indistinguishable from any other drop.
This isn't the case with online information. Each drop of information is collected into personal virtual buckets. The information rarely disappears; instead, it accumulates, slowly building a comprehensive picture of your identities and lives. Small details about your appearance, where you live, go to school and work, financial status, emotional vulnerabilities, and the lives of those close to you all add up.
Comments, actions, or images once posted online may stay long after you delete the material from your site. You don't know who else has downloaded what you wrote or what search engine crawled and stored a photo. You can't know who else sees your comments and judges you by them, nor will you have the opportunity in most cases to explain your comments.
Shedding an earlier image to move in new directions can be harder in a digitally recorded world as your previous postings may make it difficult. For example, if you went through a punk period and now want to be more preppy, that punk past will follow you. Or perhaps there is an old relationship that you do not want to be associated with any longer, but it remains online for anybody to see. Or you had embarrassing moments documented that now won't go away.
Anyone - those with good intentions as well as those with intent to do harm - can dip into your virtual bucket and search for your information years from now. It may be the admissions director at a school to a potential employer, or your future children or in-laws. The person dipping into your information bucket could be an identity thief, or anyone in your life who wants to use something you've posted to lash out at you, can cause harm. What seemed like a good idea to post at one time may come back to bite you in a variety of ways.
The flip side to negative permanence is positive permanence. If what you are documenting helps establish your positive reputation and credentials and helps people learn great things about you (without revealing too much in the way of personal identification), you're on a path to be proud of. As future employers, loan officers, school administrators, friends, family, and coworkers look over your history they will be pleasantly surprised to find your pages filled with positivity – as long as what you wrote is true.
Everyone has both positive and negative thoughts and actions. The difference is in what you choose to document – and what others choose to document about you. So think before you act and post. It is far easier to think twice about a negative or embarrassing action or comment and refrain from following through than it is to try to take it back or down once it is documented on an online source.

We use cutting-edge, specialized treatments and procedures to ensure the best care for your child.
Awaiting the birth of a baby is an exciting time, and a busy one. Along with considering baby names and buying a crib, choosing the right health care provider should be on your to-do list, too.
When it comes to medical care for kids, there are three types of qualified providers: pediatricians, family physicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners.
Pediatrics is the medical specialty fully focused on the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth through adolescence. The primary focus of pediatrics is on preventive health care.
Pediatricians complete 4 years of medical school, followed by 3 years of pediatric residency. To become board certified, a pediatrician must pass a written examination given by the American Board of Pediatrics. To keep current on changes in children's health care, pediatricians must recertify by taking examinations every 7 years. They also must take a certain number of continuing medical education (CME) courses each year to be eligible for license renewal in the state in which they practice.
Some pediatricians have additional training in a subspecialty area such as cardiology, critical care or emergency medicine, or hematology. These specialists usually have 3 years of additional training after their residency to be board certified in their subspecialty.
Family physicians must complete 3 years of residency after medical school. Family medicine residents train in pediatrics and several other areas such as internal medicine, orthopedics, and obstetrics and gynecology. They usually spend several months training in each area. Afterward, they're eligible to take the certifying examination of the American Board of Family Medicine. They're also required to earn CME credits and take periodic recertification exams.
Because they train in many areas, family physicians are qualified to care for patients of all ages. This means your child would be able to see the same doctor from birth through adulthood. It also means that all members of your family can receive their primary care from the same doctor. A family physician will know the medical histories of all family members and may also be more aware of the emotional and social issues within your family.
When seeking a family physician, be sure to ask about age policies — some see only a few kids or don't see children younger than a certain age.
A pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) has earned a master's degree in nursing and can take medical histories, perform physical examinations on children, make medical diagnoses, write prescriptions, and provide counseling and treatment. Like pediatricians, PNPs may specialize in a particular area, such as neurology or endocrinology. PNPs work closely with doctors in hospitals, clinics, and private practices.
Some parents might hesitate to choose a PNP, possibly worrying that the PNP is less extensively trained in children's health care. These feelings are largely unwarranted. The presence of PNPs in the practice can have many advantages. Parents often find that PNPs spend more time with them than doctors discussing health and child care issues. Plus, if a PNP encounters a more complex medical problem, he or she is trained to consult the doctor.
Still, if you want to see only the doctor or feel the doctor should be consulted after the PNP has seen your child, most practices will honor your request.
Your search for a health care provider should begin well before your baby's due date. Babies often come early and you'll want to be sure you've found someone whose style and personality work with your own.
A good time to begin your search is about 3 months before the baby is expected. If you're in a managed health care plan, your choice of participating doctors who provide primary care for children may be limited, so be sure to check the plan's online list (paper lists get outdated quickly).
If you have questions about whether a provider participates in your plan or if you're interested in a doctor who isn't on the list, call the health plan directly. Also call if your child has any special medical needs that would require an out-of-network doctor.
Once you know the limits of your health plan, compile a list of candidates from people you trust — your relatives, friends, neighbors, and coworkers who share your parenting philosophies. Your doctor, obstetrician, or nurse-midwife can also be a good source for recommendations.
If you've recently moved to a new area, you may not have personal or social connections established to ask for referrals. In this case, consider contacting area hospitals or medical schools for recommendations or ask the pediatric residents or nurses where they take their kids.
You also can request a list of board-certified pediatricians from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and board-certified family physicians from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Local hospital "nurse line" referral services, the local medical society office, medical directories in public libraries, and the yellow pages also can be helpful.
Once you have some recommendations, check them out more thoroughly. In each state, a medical board investigates complaints against doctors and may take disciplinary action, ranging from citing a doctor for nonpayment of certain administrative fees to suspending or revoking his or her license for criminal behavior.
Disciplinary action is rare but, fortunately, very easy for parents to uncover. In most states, the information is public and is posted by state medical boards on their websites.
Now you're ready to begin the interview process. Considering that this doctor will be the first to treat your baby, you'll want to be sure that you're comfortable with the doctor's personality, office staff, location, and environment. A prenatal appointment is an excellent opportunity for parents to ask questions and get acquainted with the office staff.
During the interview, you should find out how the practice works by asking:
Making a question checklist will help you organize your thoughts and be thorough during the interview. Some doctors offer group classes for expectant parents to learn about the practice and discuss newborn care, while others offer one-on-one interviews.
Many insurance companies encourage these prenatal appointments or classes and will cover any cost involved; however, be sure to check with the doctor's office and your health plan first to avoid surprises.
The interview is a great time to observe office procedures. Check out the reception area: how many patients are waiting? More than a handful may mean overbooking or it could mean the doctor is spending extra time with a patient who needs it. Is there a place where sick kids can be separated from those in for a well visit? Is the area clean and child-friendly? Is the staff polite and considerate to patients in the waiting room and to people on the phone?
While you're waiting, talk to other parents to determine whether they're satisfied with the care. Is their child comfortable with the doctor? Do the parents feel confident the doctor is thorough and competent? The overall atmosphere in the waiting area will give you a good idea what the practice is like.
Another important aspect of the interview is getting a feel for the doctor's personality. Does he or she see parents as partners in a child's care? Is he or she patient and willing to explain things carefully? Do you get the impression the doctor would be supportive if you requested a second opinion? Are the doctor's age and gender important issues to you?
Good communication between a doctor and parent is essential to building a good working relationship. Is the doctor is a good listener who seems responsive to your concerns? Are you comfortable asking questions or do you feel intimidated?
You also should be sure that your parenting style matches your doctor's in the important issues. How does the doctor feel about circumcision? Breastfeeding? Alternative or integrative medicines or techniques? Use of antibiotics and other medications? Does the doctor focus on preventive care, including immunizations, child safety, and nutrition?
Philosophical issues might not seem important before the birth but if you consider that this doctor may see your child for years to come, agreement on larger issues becomes more significant.
Although you may feel overwhelmed with preparing for your baby's arrival, imagine how you'll feel after the baby is born. Choosing the right health care provider will help you feel confident your baby will be well cared for throughout childhood and beyond, and will ease some of the anxiety all new parents experience.

X Freeze ups Explained?
Is there a good explaination of the problems with Qt 2.3.2? I just upgraded to KDE 2.2.2 with Qt 2.3.2, and I get periodic freeze ups, sometimes when I highlight a URL in the location bar. I've turned off Klipper, so that's not it. I'm making the current assumption that Qt is the culprit, and I'll upgrade in the next day or two.
Symptoms, anyone?

KC KDE announcements on theDot
it seems that some people get a little annoyed or confused when theDot doesn't post a story on the latest KC KDE issue immediately. this lag between release and appearance on theDot is due to the fact that i don't (usually) announce their release. Zack takes care of Linux Today for all the KC's and I really don't find much pleasure in hopping about from website to website posting announcements.
But all is not lost. Over time the KC KDE "project" has gained several contributors including Rob Kaper, Juergen Appel and Timothy Butler. Rob and Timothy will be looking after announcing KC KDE hither and yon from next week on. so theDot may even beat Linux Today at posting the newest KC KDE.
so everyone can stop bugging theDot people (and me) about it, m'kay? =)

Re: KC KDE announcements on theDot
Thanks for that. And just a word of my own:
Instead of people mailing me personally and complaining to me that KC KDE announcements are not posted on the dot first thing, why don't you instead write up something nice for the dot and *submit* it? That way as soon as an editor sees it, it can be approved. Good way of distributing the work, spreading the word, bringing liveliness to the dot, and everyone is happy. AFAIK, the Dot isn't intended to be a one-man show but rather wants to continue to be community-supported. We encourage contributions from all...
My own excuse is that lately I've been busy and rather absent from the Net, so by the time I notice a new KC and write up an announcement (if I have the time/courage), it's pretty late. Thankfully Dre took care of it already.

now could someone tell me, why don't they just put the arts-stuff in the kernel, remove esound and artsd, and use oss as the output for kde and all gnome-stuff? that would be one step to lowering the devision between kde and gnome... or what is I don't get?
By Johannes Wilm at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: arts-esound
aRts is far more poweful then just merged OSS streams. It has internal codec knowledge, MIDI capabilities, and all sort of nifty audio stuff. Plus, the mentioned module does not contain aRts, it just redirects OSS streams back to the normal (user-space) aRts server because artsdsp doesn't work with all apps.
By Carbon at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: arts-esound
I think the gnome people are going to kick out esd and use arts instead, if they haven't already done it. It'd be great if gnome and kde used the same sound deamon; I can live with gnome/kde apps looking and behaving differently, but they should be able to output sound at the same time.
By Johnny Andersson at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: arts-esound
i think arts still needs better documentation about things like network-transparent
Also, i have latency and stability problems with arts, but i guess thats a weird interaction problem on my system. (if i play a file, and start playing another file, the first 'play' stops for half a second and then plays on. i am running arts via artswrapper)
As for your problem, doesn't 'artsdsp esd' or 'esddsp artsd' work ?
By ik at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: arts-esound
Actually, I don't need any esd apps so I haven't tried. It probably works. ;)
Speaking of network transparency, can you explain how you did it? I tried just a few hours ago to get it working, but without success. I use my laptop as an X terminal for my main computer and I'd like to have the sound redirected to the laptop too.
I can start artsd on the laptop, but how do I tell KDE on the main computer to use that artsd instead of starting a local one? I can't find any relevant settings in kcontrol (as you say, the manual/faq doesn't help much). I find no way of specifying address/port for the sound server.

I know alot of you wont really give ideas for enhancement much attention,
I believe sometimes it takes someone whos not a programmer to tell people
If you think any of my ideas are good, please discuss them, perhaps even
Also, I think it would be good to sometimes survey features you do add by
You see in my post i mentioned that I wanted to change the way multiple desktop works, this way there would be no way to "lose" track of your icons. Important Icons could just be locked or stuck or snapped into the backround of the desktop so whenever you click the arrow to get a blank desktop again your vital icons remain right there. Almost like bookmarking eh?

Re: Heres my idea, what do you think
There are way too many "cool ideas" like these out there for KDE to implement them all. Mostly KDE just implements the ones that will make users feel at home on the desktop. If you want radical new features in a desktop, KDE is probably not the place to add them or ask for them. I think it is safe to say that these features will not be added into the main KDE releases, and it is not because they are bad ideas, or because KDE people don't listen to non-coders. It is because they are new and radical, and most users aren't used to them.
However, it sounds like what you want is a replacement for KDesktop, KWin, and Kicker. The beauty of KDE is that it is open source. All of these components can be modified if you want. All you need is some time and a willingness to learn.
By not me at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Heres my idea, what do you think
>It is because they are new and radical, and most users aren't used to them.
That isn't true at all. Just look at konqueror, and give me another UI where you can install plugins into file manager/web browser to make it a printer manager, cd ripper, ssh client, terminal, and image thumbnailer? Seems pretty new and radical to me.
How about kicker? Windows and MacOS both have a definite lack of such a modular and extensible panel, though they both have rather similar concepts. Neither of those OSes have support for multiple desktops (well, possibly Mac OS X, but that was released after the feature was implemented in KDE), and if you're arguing for KDE attempting to accomodate the average user, the concept of multiple desktops doesn't fit.
I wouldn't implement your ideas (if it were up to me, and it isn't, so who can say) because the problems that the addressed by those methods have already been fixed. Searching is already implemented in the application-class taskbar organization option, your multiple taskbars is done in the form of multiple desktops. Making taskbars that automatically form new tabs as needed would look cool, but the organization would be nearly arbitrary. It's much better to give the user total control over grouping of their windows.
By Carbon at Fri, 2001/12/07 - 6:00am
Re: Heres my idea, what do you think
Konqueror's flexibility is a logical extension of Windows Explorer's ability to view web pages, ftp sites, local folders and network folders all in one interface. The availability of neat ioslaves is great, but almost the same thing is possible under Windows using shell extensions (though almost nobody uses this capability). KDE has simply made it easier and better. It's not radical, it is just a *very good* extension and generalization of an already-existing concept.
> How about kicker? Windows and MacOS both have a definite lack of such a modular and extensible panel, though they both have rather similar concepts.
Kicker is the place where KDE departs the most from the crowd, but even in Kicker many of the ideas are not radical at all. Dockapplets are not new, but KDE made them better. The system tray and the clock are directly from Windows, though they have been changed in appearence somewhat. The taskbar is almost exactly like other taskbars I've used.
> if you're arguing for KDE attempting to accomodate the average user, the concept of multiple desktops doesn't fit.
These ideas aren't new and radical though. They were well established long before KDE existed. Many of the people using KDE early on were not Windows converts but Unix coders, and they were used to multiple desktops and brought the idea with them. I'm not saying KDE always does what Windows does, I'm saying that KDE isn't a testing ground for radically new and different UI concepts like the ones thought up on the usability mailing list. KDE merges what is best about many different systems. KDE is a place for tested and well-liked UIs, not radically different and new UIs that may or may not be good.
I think there is a place for these radical new ideas. Berlin, maybe. Or a whole new project. Someone might even decide that they want to fork KDE and produce a different interface for it. I just don't think that these ideas belong in the main KDE development branch, which so many people use.

Re: Heres my idea, what do you think
:: Konqueror's flexibility is a logical extension of Windows Explorer's ability to view web pages, ftp sites, local folders and network folders all in one interface.
No! It's a logical extension of the URI RFCs such as 2838 (which defines things like tv: for television). See my post from June 2000 on the subject ( http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=96015237309542&w=2 ). Somewhere I have a long long list of useful KDE add ons that are a mix of kio_slaves and kparts.
URLs are *meant* to have context... context that allows the appropriate code to be executed. Long before IE existed, Mosaic was viewing http:. gopher: and ftp: (? It's been awhile) URLs built in. The next logical step is to add a plug in archetechture. Any time you have lots of add-ons, a modular archetecture makes sense - if you're running filters on an image (Photoshop), or spitting out formatted data to requests (Apache). Some are compiled in, some are loadable code.
It's also important to remember (and I worry this may get lost) that Konqueror is nothing but a framework, yes, but *all* correctly written KDE apps can access all the kio_slaves, and embed the same kparts that Konqueror uses. They can also expose themselves as kparts for other applications. It's this synergy (through not having to worry about depending on another corporation's code screwing you over) that makes open source great - it *can* depend on each other because were all on the same "team"... you create easily solved dependancies, not omes that require going out an buying Adobe Acrobat (the writer) because your billing software needs it (which occured last month to us).
It's late, and I'm starting to rant (okay, the entire post is a rant). Sorry about that - I've been wrangling buggy code for 12 hours... read the above with a grain of salt. :)

Re: Heres my idea, what do you think
I don't think this is a good idea. I use multiple desktops to separate my applications, not my desktop icons. I don't really have many icons on my desktop. But I have usually many applications running and it is very nice to group them by desktop. And it really takes care also of the taskbar, as it only shows applications on current desktop. I think (real) multiple desktops are good. :-)

IMO, that's big-time overkill. For one thing, it would be annoyingly cycle-sucking to render, difficult to distinguish the reflection on your desktop of the desk behind you from actual windows, and almost completely advantageless. How is it that you lose track of your desktops? If you forget which windows are there, just use the Kicker pager preview, or the all-desktops window list on the left side of the taskbar applet.

aRts-oss: YALQ?
(that's "Yet Another License Quagmire" for the uninitiated...) Warning: this is tedious.
aRts itself seems to be GPL'ed according to http://www.arts-project.org/doc/manual/index-13.html#ss13.3
The kernel is GPL'ed but kernel modules are explicitly not regarded as linking to the kernel, so it shouldn't be relevant.
KDE is GPL'ed according to rpm -qi kdebase.
Qt/Free is dual licensed, GPL and QPL, but for purposes of building or distributing KDE, it may have to be treated as GPL'ed.
aRts-oss, the kernel module, is only QPL'ed.
I think you can specify in your GPL'ed programs that there's an exception for linking to QPL'ed code, but aRts doesn't seem to have done this. Is it possible to write an aRts driver without linking to aRts?
It sounds like an awesome idea, but it seems best to get things all explicit before it becomes part of KDE and someone starts screaming GPL violation.
By raindog at Sat, 2001/12/08 - 6:00am
Re: aRts-oss: YALQ?
arts is LGPL, arts-oss doesn't link to kdelibs (which is LGPL or better), and the kernel allows any linking. So this is all legal.
By Charles Samuels at Sat, 2001/12/08 - 6:00am
Re: aRts-oss: YALQ?
Of course, it is all legal. But for kernel work, wouldn't the GPL or the LGPL be a logical choice? Is there a point at all to using the QPL for this kernel module?

aRts partially obsolete?
Why bother redirecting OSS streams to aRts anyway? Does anybody actually still own a sound card that doesn't do hardware mixing? A sound daemon is largely useless on modern systems, since /dev/dsp can be opened multiple times and the hardware can be used to mix the sound streams. By using aRts as a sound multiplexer, the KDE guys are shutting out a lot of people from using the advanced (reverb, special effects, HW mixing) the advanced features present in modern sound cards. IMHO, it would be better to seperate aRts into two parts. One part acting as a sound multiplexer (even then its pretty useless, ALSA, for example, does software mixing automatically if the HW doesn't support it) and another part acting as a multimedia framework. That would probably get rid of many of the latency problems people have with aRts, and wouldn't effect the common case (a few apps playing sounds concurrently, with no media being traded).
By Rayiner Hashem at Sun, 2001/12/09 - 6:00am
Re: aRts partially obsolete?
:: A sound daemon is largely useless on modern systems, since
Yes, but what about things like network transparancy? What if there are multiple outputs?
:: By using aRts as a sound multiplexer, the KDE guys are
Why? The aRts system is an API... the hardware effects can be coded into the API, and you get the benefit of abstraction... you don't have to worry "What *if* the card doesn't support it", and you can take advantage of hardware features that are there (assuming that they are coded into aRts).
OpenGL will fall back to software support of features that the hardware dosen't support - and use the features that the hardware *does* support. aRts isn't there yet, but then, it's still young compared to OpenGL. To go by your reasoning, X, OpenGL, DirectX, and even video drivers are all useless... just access the hardware directly, and code each app for every piece of hardware you want to support.

The band's tenth studio album, All That You Can't leave Behind was released on October 30th 2000 and following the less than overwhelming response to 1997's POP (and that was just from the band) it was instantly judged a triumphant return to form.
The band, said Bono, ahead of release, were 'reapplying for the job of best band in the world'. Going to No. 1 in 32 countries, eventually garnering 12 million sales and with widespread critical praise... they got the gig.
'U2's tenth studio album and third masterpiece,' judged Rolling Stone. 'All That You Can't Leave Behind, is all about the simple melding of craft and song.'
'Gone are the experimental ambitions and Big Ideas,' reported the NME. 'Back are the chiming guitars, the stratospheric synth and - best of all - the tunes. (It's) modern enough to sound new, but sufficiently evocative of their... Joshua Tree days to make it seem as though they have come full circle.... There is no fat on this record, the lines are clean. Its beauty is in subtlety rather than extravagance...'
Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno were again at the helm and, as usual, making the record wasn't always easy. 'It was tough at times.' recalled Larry. 'There were dark moments. We chose to record in Dublin so you have to go home, deal with that leak in your roof as well. Danny thought it was interfering with making the record.'
But the reception for the debut single Beautiful Day, backed with a memorable video shot at Charles de gaulle Airport in Paris, could not have been any warmer. It took three Grammy Awards in 2001 - a year later the album won four more, including Record of the Year for 'Walk On', won the previous year by 'Beautiful Day' - the first time a band had achieved this. A remix of another track, Elevation, featured on the soundtrack to the movie Lara Croft:Tomb Raider.
Produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, additional production Steve Lillywhite, Mike Hedges, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher. Engineered by Richard Rainey, assisted by Chris Heaney. Mixed by Richard Rainey, Tim Palmer, Steve Lillywhite, Mike Hedges, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Steve Fitzmaurice. Mixing assisted by Chris Heaney, Alvin Sweeney, Jay Goin. Additional engineering Tim Palmer, Stephen Harris, Ger McDonnell, Mark Howard, Alex Haas. Assisted by Keith McDonell, Stephen Harris. Recorded at HQ, Windmill Lane Recording Studios, Westland Studios and Totally Wired in Dublin, and South of France
'It was tough at times. There were dark moments. We chose to record in Dublin so you have to go home, deal with that leak in your roof as well. Danny thought it was interfering with making the record.'
'Bono's lyrics this time, in a sense, they're less poetic, less romantic and more real. To me they're much more about where he's coming from and what he's dealing with. I think this record has a great tenderness. And I'm sure it addresses the way he feels about the commitment to the band and to his family, to his children and Ali.'
'From the beginning we were excited when music met the real world, and, going into this, we reckoned that people aren't buying rock records any more because of this progressive rock lurgy, which is on the rise, where the single has been forgotten. In our heads we've written 11 singles for this record. '
'Pop music often tells you everything is OK, while rock music tells you that it's not OK, but you can change it. There's a defiance in rock music that gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Most pop music doesn't make you want to get out of bed, I'm sorry to say. It puts you to sleep.'

All that you can't leave behind- to me-Fragmentation, it is not a step back, almost a step onward,but there is this feeling of the heart beat,a distinctive imprint for each song,giving this virtual sense of the waving in the ocean of sounds. ' And that's make an innovative album through fragmentation .Maybe you can educate my mind' 'Elevation' . ' Love is not the only baggage you can bring'' Walk on'. Melancholic album,sometimes it is,for some grooves of piano and guitar.' New York ,and part of lyrics : 'In New York I lost it all to you and your vices Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis I hit an iceberg in my life But you know I'm still afloat You lose your balance, lose your wife In the queue for the lifeboat'. In Grace song we find the balance and the defense for particular situations that may occour in life :'Grace makes beauty out of ugly things .

10 yearsThis album was released in October 2000, wasn;t it? With a new millennium dawning, U2 were working on another reinvention or return to a sort of stripped-down and more classic approach. Instead of experimenting with humming electronic sounds they concentrated on the main vocabulary of rock music: bass, drums, guitars and vocals. "Walk On" is an extraordinary example of U2;s regained preference to use more traditional song structures to create grand melodies and big emotions. The track was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, but the theme of travelling is also relevant on a more general level. "Beautiful Day" is also one of the most meaningful songs. With The Edge playing such a distinctive and unique guitar riff that only The Edge can deliver that way, it is obvious that U2 decided to include their trademark sounds again. Listening to "Kite" I can feel that U2 put their whole heart and soul in the music. Bono forms overwhelming melodies that change between softness and brilliant power. "In the time when new media/Was the big idea..." he closes from the angle of an observer. This big idea has taken the world on exciting journeys so far and it has brought us to the place where we are right now.

As sweet as honeyI believe this album is like eating a sweet chocolate, is so soft, so easygoing and at the same time it gets to the heart with those lyrics about love and life. It is the second best romantic album for me before achtung baby, music to fall in love or at least to remember memories from past. Every piece of music you do, it's a big important part of me and all the fans we love you. Congratulations guys. Congratulations U2.
