truTV delivers some edgy stuff, like "1,000 Ways to Die" (who knew one could be decapitated by an exploding tire? Or eviscerated by one's own killer robot?). The network promises to be even "Bigger, bolder, broader" in the 2012-2013 season, placing a strong emphasis on comedic and action-packed "actuality" programming designed to appeal to its young adult and young-male-skewing audience.
Projects in the works include a unique new game show set on an airplane, which is being developed by Howie Mandel and his production company, Alevy Productions. truTV has also ordered a pilot starring NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and developed by Fishbowl Worldwide Media, with "America's Funniest Home Videos" creator/executive producer Vin Di Bona and Tosh.0 co-creator Mike Gibbons among the executive producers.
"truTV has firmly established itself as a leader in TV's fastest-growing genre, delivering on the promise of outrageous, fun television with truTV's unique spin," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and chief operating officer of truTV. "We're also programming with an eye towards creating content that works across multiple screens and establishing ourselves as a truly multi-platform brand."
Since its re-brand in 2008, truTV has been on a tear when it comes to ratings growth and competitive position. After scoring its best year ever with key demos in 2011, truTV just charted its best quarter ever in Q1 2012. truTV has also planted itself among basic cable's Top 10 networks with men 18-49:
With a median age of 41, truTV claims the youngest primetime audience of such direct non-fiction competitors as Discovery, History and A&E.
truTV's dedication to "actuality programming" has paid off with shows that deliver ratings success every night of the week. Six of truTV's primetime series rank in the top 10 for their time period with key adult and male demos. In addition, nine truTV series average more than 1 million viewers, while several truTV shows – including "Hardcore Pawn," "Lizard Lick Towing" and "Impractical Jokers" ranked among basic cable's Top 50 unscripted series for the first quarter.
For this year's Upfront, rather than putting on a splashy press event in New York, truTV hit the road to conduct in-person meetings with small groups of key clients. "Given the rapidly changing media environment, we decided the big budget upfront presentation does not provide the opportunity to sit down and develop unique solutions for our clients," Juris said. "This year we don't want to pitch. We want to partner."
"truTV has experienced record-breaking growth and a desirable young adult audience, catching the eye of over 30 new advertisers this year," said Joe Hogan, executive vice president, Young Adults Ad Sales, Turner Broadcasting. "We have enjoyed sharing this success story with clients the last several weeks, and look forward to attracting more marketers to the network this Upfront through customized multi-screen opportunities."
Looking ahead, truTV is working in the development arena to craft additional on-target series for the network's audience. truTV is specifically focusing on the comedic reality genre, with an eye toward shows that tap into the network's recent success with the acquired hit Wipeout.
Here's a rundown of what truTV has coming down the pike:
Killer Karaoke – New series premiering later this year
Unlike anything else on TV, popular comedian and "Jackass" star Steve-O hosts this outrageous singing contest that challenges contestants to break out in song in the midst of extreme, hilarious and sometimes skin-crawling physical challenges. The hits just keep on coming as contestants try to carry a tune under fire. Killer Karaoke comes to truTV from Zodiak USA, producer of the network's popular Hardcore Pawn and Lizard Lick Towing.
Guinness World Records Gone Wild – New series premiering later this year
A new series that challenges everyday people to push themselves to do astonishing things for their place in history. Among the records the show will set out to break are the most panes of glass run through in one minute, fastest time to jump over three oncoming cars and the highest dive into 12 inches of water. Guinness World Records Gone Wild is produced for truTV by High Noon Entertainment ("Cake Boss," "Tough Love").
Container Wars – Cast-contingent series
This auction show is unlike any other auction show on television, because this one takes place in a commercial shipping port. The cast will compete against each other to buy the contents of huge shipping containers that have come from all around the world. They have no idea what's inside the containers until the doors are opened. They then have only have a few minutes to assess what's visible and decide whether to bid. The winner of each container then checks the contents in greater detail and decides on the amount of profit or loss they are likely to make. "Container Wars" comes to truTV from T Group Productions.
Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg – New series premiering in July
Guns Plus is a truly unique pawn store that is a favorite of the thousands of soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg, as well as their proud families, friends and supporters. Located next to the legendary military base, Guns Plus is staffed by military veterans, including ex-Marines and Special Ops soldiers, who have an amazing first-hand knowledge of the rare and collectible weapons that come through their doors on a daily basis. For this series, viewers will be taken behind the scenes for very different look at the pawn business, focusing almost entirely on weapons and military equipment. Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg comes to truTV from Zodiak USA, producer of the network's popular "Hardcore Pawn" and "Lizard Lick Towing."
Upload with Shaquille O'Neal (working title)
truTV has ordered a pilot of this new series from the producers of "Tosh.0" and "America's Funniest Home Videos." Basketball superstar and TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal and friends will round up the week's online video clips, as well as create their own viral videos and comment on and parody current pop culture stories. This pilot comes to truTV from Fishbowl Worldwide Media founded by entertainment industry veterans Vin Di Bona and Bruce Gersh, with the creative team led by Susan Levison. Di Bona, Gersh, Levison and Beth Greenwald serve as executive producers, along with "Tosh.0's" Mike Gibbons.
Jeff & Curtis Lose Weight (working title)
This new series takes the weight-loss concept and puts a truTV unique spin on it. Comedy duo Jeff Sloniker and Curtis Rainsberry are struggling to maintain their diets and workout regime as they battle the bulge…and each other. Guided by their trainer, they will try extreme diets, attend absurd exercise classes and generally humiliate themselves physically in public for the sake of losing a pound or two. At the end of each episode, the guys will weigh in, and the loser will have to perform a humiliating task drawn from the "Bowl of Pain." "Jeff & Curtis Lose Weight" is being developed for truTV by Rive Gauche Television.
Turbulence (working title)
truTV takes off for one truly outrageous game show in the sky. As contestants fly from one location to another, they must answer questions. Every correct answer banks money for a big weekend blowout in Las Vegas. And every wrong answer makes the flight a little bit bumpier. "Turbulence" comes to truTV from Howie Mandel's Alevy Productions. Mandel says, "I couldn't be more excited to be working with truTV on a project that I am really passionate about."
World's Dumbest… – Season 14 begins Thursday, June 7, at 9 P.M. ET/PT

Alan Moore likes sex. This makes him something of an anomaly in the world of comic book writers. I'm not saying that other scribes don't enjoy the pleasures of the flesh in their off hours, but relatively few are interested enough in the erotic as a subject to make it a part of their writing.
Of course, there are all kinds of reasons for this prudishness—not the least of which is industry censorship—but the result is that comic books are largely a sex free zone. To the degree that sex does appear in comics, it mostly takes the form of suggestively drawn female characters. At best, that's an adolescent way of dealing with sex, and at worst it's something darker—with the sex drive either implicitly rejected or sublimated into violence.

Well another Chopping Block is out! This issue is packed full of meeting summaries thanks to Lee and the Worlds crew.
The two main features in this issue are a Project Summary by Cyanide and an Article on Lagrangian Mechanics by rsteinke (useful for writing physics engines!).
There is also a wonderful story by nowhere. (Everyone needs to prod him so he gives us another one for the next Chopping Block! :).
As well there are 2 new white papers a HUGE load of announcements.
The "Ask Chopping Block" section has been discontinued because of a lack of interested. I didn't receive any emails asking questions, not even a single one!
The reason no Chopping Block was out last month was the lack of stuff to put in it! Everyone PLEASE submit anything that you feel could be interesting to other Worldforgians and the outside world! White papers are very welcome, fictional stories are also very highly welcome! If it's readable submit it, I haven't had anything of such low quality that I've had to reject it yet!
Anyway hope you enjoy this months Chopping Block!Mithro

Next Generation Ubuntu: First Gutsy Gibbon Beta
Release Manager Steve Langasek today announced the first beta version of the next generation Ubuntu, Gutsy Gibbon.
The distribution uses kernel 2.6.22 which introduces dynticks for more frugal power consumption – a benefit that laptop users will appreciate. Thanks to the new kernel version, Intel's Powertop software will run in native mode, another bonus for power tuners.
Ubuntu includes the brand new Gnome 2.20, although X.Org 7.3 has not made the cut for this release. Despite this, the Ubuntu desktop enables a couple of basic 3D effects by default, assuming a graphics adapter with 3D support. Ubuntu automatically detects and configures printers, and it can write to NTFS partitions thanks to the NTFS-3g project.
Things are also happening on the browser front: Ubuntu users can install Firefox plugins via the package manager, and Gnash, which is free, although not quite stable, is available on request as a GPL'd replacement for Flash. Ubuntu relies on AppArmor for security.
The download site offers Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu. The final release of the Debian-based Linux distribution is scheduled for October 18, 2007.
The new Kubuntu does not include KDE 4.0, but it does integrate the Dolphin file manager and the Strigi desktop search engine with KDE 3.5.7 to give users a first impression of the next generation KDE. KDE 4.0 will be made available in the form of KDE4 packages at a later stage. As a further highlight, Kubuntu includes the new Open Office 2.3 and improved proprietary driver installation support.

Comments On Apr 14, 2014:Amazing elbow guards, they fit quite good and are a total protection for the elbow. Good finished product, internal rubber to avoid slip. Easy to move around the bike. A minor issue: the velcro sticks easy to the strip which starts to tear.

Comments On Mar 10, 2014:I really like these, worth the few extra dollars. They go further up the arm and stay up better than other guards I have worn.

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:Ive tried a few elbow pads and these ones are the best ive tried. They stay on the elbows pretty good, better than some others ive tried. They seem like they provide pretty good protection as well.

Comments On Jul 24, 2013:My forearm is 13" just below the elbow. These elbow guards are so tight that I can barely use them. i do not reccomend the L/XL unless you have 12" or smaller forearms at the elbow.

Comments On Nov 30, 2012:A little small for guys with even average size arms

Comments On Nov 19, 2012:These elbow protectors are some of the best out there. They wont slide or move around while your riding. A little bulky for under jersey wear though. And if you have it too tight it will cause some pretty bad arm pump. So it all depends on how you ride. But overall very good quality guards.

Comments On Oct 31, 2012:Got to truely test these last week - Elbow is good! Great value for the price, no elbow guard is going to save your elbow in a serious high speed wreck, but these give you the padding needed to prevent "fall downs" from ruining an otherwise perfect day. Great product, Thanks Rocky Mtn!

Gov. Hickenlooper to sign bill making Goodwill a Checkoff Colorado charity | Style
Title (Max 100 Characters)
On Wednesday, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper will sign House Bill 11-1097, making Goodwill one of just 15 non-profits Coloradans can choose to donate to on their state income tax return. Checkoff Colorado is a program that allows taxpayers to make voluntary contributions to their favorite charitable organizations when they file their state income tax return.
During this time of economic need, allowing Coloradans to support Goodwill's workforce development programs by making a voluntary contribution on their state income tax returns will have tremendous return and economic benefit across the state.
As the second largest human services non-profit in the state of Colorado, Goodwill provides critical job-readiness training for at-risk youth, struggling adults and individuals with disabilities. Goodwill also employs nearly 1,000 employees – empowering the citizens of Colorado through employment. As a retailer of gently used goods, Goodwill keeps more than 55, 000 pounds of goods out of landfills each year. All of the good Goodwill does in the state of Colorado is due to the generosity of Coloradans.
"Coloradans can now support our workforce development community programs via the wonderful Checkoff Colorado program," says Goodwill Industries of Denver CEO Jesse Wolff. "Next year we hope Coloradans will remember Goodwill and our mission if they choose to donate part of their Colorado state tax refund when filing. It really makes a difference to us."
Representative Mark Barker and Senator Lucia Guzman, both supporters of Goodwill and its mission sponsored HB 11-1097.

Superbly-lighted, realistic and almost photographic images are a hallmark of Collin Bogle's work. In the ten years since he burst onto the art scene, this award-winning artist has cultivated a national following for his strikingly realistic wildlife and floral images. Says Bogle, "Light plays a major role in my work.
An abundance of light and shadows creates a playground for me, and allows a painting to take on a life of its own." The son of a famous American artist, Collin learned the concepts of technique, composition and design from his father, later refining his skills and setting out on his own artistic path. Bogle uses pastels, colored pencils, watercolor, acrylics, whatever it takes, to create that remarkable detail and master the light of natural settings.
Best of all, my buyers negotiated better so you can bring the natural beauty of the outdoors into your home or office without paying the in-store price.

Sad to see ya go Blair! Good luck in Dallas!
Mavericks land DeJuan Blair, will make formal pitch to Greg Oden this week
San Antonio Spurs free agent big man DeJuan Blair announced Tuesday afternoon on Twitter that he is signing with the Dallas Mavericks for next season.
The Spurs had explored deals for the power forward-center before the February trade deadline last season but opted to keep him. San Antonio used him only sparingly throughout its playoff run to the NBA Finals, playing him only 18 minutes total in the Finals against the Miami Heat.
SI STAFF: Eastern Conference roundtable: Taking stock of the offseason
The Mavs will add Blair to a crowded front court that includes the newly-added Samuel Dalembert as well as Brandan Wright and Bernard James to shoulder some of the burden on defense for the 35-year-old Dirk Nowitzki. Blair had shown some promise as a young big man, averaging 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 21 minutes per game during his 2011-12 campaign. Last season, however, Blair struggled to find a role in head coach Gregg Popovich's rotation, finishing the season with career-low averages of 5.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14 minutes per game.
MAHONEY: Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak not surprised by Dwight Howard's decision to join Rockets
The Mavericks could also add center Greg Oden to the mix. Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that Dallas is one of six teams expected to lay out "financial specifics" and details of the medical care that will be made available to the oft-injured 2007 No. 1 overall pick. The Heat, Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings are also expected to make offers to Oden. The former Ohio State standout and Portland Trail Blazers center has played in just 82 games in his entire NBA career because of various knee surgeries but insists he will be ready for next season. He is expected to announce which team he will sign with later this week.
Dallas!!!!! Now lets have some fun!!!!—
DeJuan Blair (@DeJuan45) July 30, 2013

The sleeve runs small. It was exactly what I needed but cannot bend arm because of the tight fit. I need more padding because I am always bumping my elbow and need protection from myself. I think this item would work better for sports activities.

The author of the New York Times bestselling book "Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You've Been Told about the Economy is Wrong" (Portofolio / Penguin, 2012), Edward Conard was formerly a partner at Bain Capital, where he led the firm's acquisition of large industrial companies. Earlier, Conard worked for Wasserstein Perella & Co., an investment bank specializing in mergers and acquisitions. He also worked for the management consulting firm Bain & Company, where he headed their industrial practice, as well as Ford Motor Company, where he worked as a product and manufacturing engineer. At AEI, Conard will continue his work on US economic policy - in particular, on the effect of taxes, government policies, and finance on risk-taking and innovation.
Liberal and conservative economists disagree sharply over the extent to which a lower marginal tax rate motivates talented workers to take the risks and suffer the consequences necessary to earn more money.
It has finally dawned on left-leaning economists like Paul Krugman and Larry Summers that the U.S. economy is not suffering from a temporary lull in demand but rather from a structural problem that yields slower growth from a permanently lower base.
As the budget and debt ceiling-standoff continues in Washington, many are asking the wrong question: Which party will pay a political price for the government shutdown? Democrats are comparing Republicans to "hostage-takers"; Republicans complain that Democrats refuse to negotiate.

The Civilization series is arguably the best empire-building franchise ever to grace the PC. So when a new sequel comes along, there are some very high expectations to meet.
Civilization IV
meets each and every one of those expectations, giving us one of the best games of the year, of any genre. Sure, I'm a little biased toward strategy titles, and Civilization in particular, but even through that bias I see an out-and-out gem of a title, something with which to while away countless hours, spending "just one more turn", conquering just one more city, and researching just one more technology.
Civilization veterans should find a lot of familiar ground in
Civilization IV
, but there is enough new and innovative content to keep everyone happy. As in previous Civilization incarnations, players get to choose from one of 18 available Civilizations. Each Civ has one or two leaders to choose from, with each Leader conferring a particular pair of Traits, some starting Techs, and the ability to build a Unique Unit specific to the Civilization in question. Civilization traits have been extensively reworked for Civ IV, and it will take some time before I get a solid handle on which Traits I like most. Thankfully, none of the traits seem overpowerful, since the developers were careful not to pair up any devastating Trait combos for a single Civ. Some of my favorite Traits include "Financial," with the ability to generate additional commerce points from all worked city squares that already produce commerce, and "Creative," which allows all cities to generate a small amount of Culture points per turn, negating the need to construct early Culture buildings for a border expansion. With the large combination of Traits and Civ Leaders, it's easy to find a favorite Civ or two to fit just about any play style.
A big change has been made to the military units since
Civ III
. No longer do units have an "attack" and "defence" value; they now have a single "Strength" rating representing their combat effectiveness. That's not to say that all units are equal in attack and defense, though. Units now come with a wide variety of abilities which determine how best to utilize them. For instance, Archer units gain a bonus when defending cities, and Spearmen get a bonus against mounted units. In addition, as a unit wins battles and gains experience, it gains "Promotions", additional abilities which can further tailor units into very effective (and frightening) forces. A wide variety of Promotion abilities are available, such as bonuses against Melee, Ranged, or Mounted units, additional First Strike abilities, and terrain bonuses such as increased movement and Strength when fighting in forests, hills or jungle tiles. This Promotion scheme allows for a great deal of customization of military units, further diversifying an already-impressive selection of forces.
Building up an army requires some careful planning and use of resources, and
Civilization IV
introduces a great many new resources and improvements to the mix. Worker units can not only improve tiles with Farms and Mines, they now have the ability (with the proper technological advancements) of building Pastures, Watermills, Lumbermills, and Plantations to gain full advantage of the many Resources available. A very interesting tile improvement, the Cottage, actually grows as time progresses. Initially, this improvement only provides a single point of Commerce, but as the nearby city work the Cottage squares, they develop into larger and larger Hamlets, Villages, and Towns, greatly increasing their output.

The beauty of the desert resides in the texture of the land, the starkness of the sky and in how life has found a way to conquer the desert. Atacama is a lunar landscape in places, lush river canyons in others. In some parts, rain has not touched this parched land for the past three hundred years while summer can bring brilliant rainstorms in the mountains. Atacama can be vast empty stretches but it is also a place to see life unfold.

We just returned last night from our Patagonia adventure and wanted to tell you we had the time of our lives! Everything turned out perfectly. Guides were fun, on time and informative. The excursions were great for an active family and, of course, amazing.
I can't tell you what was our favorite. The boys enjoyed exploring the mountains in El Chalten (they called it Mountain running) while Mohan and I relaxed in the beautiful hotel. I thought after the glacier trek it can't get any better - but it kept surprising me and amazing me. My personal favorite was the horseback riding. I thought afterwards after everything we have seen the bike tour would have to be a let down - NOPE - it also was so exciting and our guide was a hoot! We had great weather for each activity (I know there is a bit of luck involved with that one).
Meals were amazing and after so many active excursions no guilt in pigging out.
I am so happy we took a little risk and went out of the way with our vacation this year. We will have this with us for a life time.
Thank you again,
Laura, Mohan, Ryan, and Nathan

"Hi Brandi,
GREAT trip! We were very pleased with every aspect that you set up for us including the tour of Quito and environs. Our guide spoke excellent English, the driver was courteous and we felt safe and well-informed throughout the day. We're still going through the 500+ photos that I took and the 1700+ photos that my son took. Galapagos was a fabulous trip and the Eclipse was a terrific way to navigate the islands.
Thanks again!

We had great weather the whole trip and only lost one activity due to high winds. As you know this is a beautiful part of the world so my camera was snapping all the time. We would definitely use your services in the future for this type of travel. Thanks for all you help and expertise........be well.....m.d."

"Dear Sofia
I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru.
In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience.
Special thanks to:
-The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for
-The people that looked after us in Lima
-Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day.
-The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care.
-Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides.

"Dear Matt
Sandy and I are back from Peru and had a wonderful time. Kensington seems to have the best contacts in each country and Peru was no exception. I wanted to take the time to give you some specific feedback on each segment of out trip.
The "Hotel B" in Lima is fantastic. It's an old house that has been turned into a small Hotel. The people are great and the location in Barranco is just what we like.
The Inkaterra Amazonica is probably the best place place to stay in the Amazon region. The rooms give a real feel of the sounds of the rain forest.
The hotels in both Cusco and Aquas Calientes were perfect with great locations. We added an additional day in Aquas Calientes which gave us three days in Machu Picchu. For us, this was well worth it and gave us the time we wanted to see all aspects of Machu Picchu. Pictures did not do justice to the site, although we got some great pictures.
The trip to see the Nasca Lines was, also, worth the time. Our guide added some side trips including lunch at a local winery which we really enjoyed. The Hotel Paracas was an unexpectedly high quality resort and a great way to end our trip.
Thanks for your help we look forward to next year

"Buenas Noches Brandi-
I filled out the survey but I wanted to send you a note to say thank you. Our trip was the stuff lifelong memories are made of and I mean every part of it. From our time spent in Quito, to the Safari Camp and Isla Isabela. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the staff at our accommodations and the expertise of all our guides (most especially Tanya Helmig at the Safari Camp). We hope to go back for an extended stay.
I have attached 2 photos for you of Bart and I. I think the joy is clearly evident- thank you for making it possible.

"Dear Nella,
Our trip was wonderful, we had a great time, wish we could have spent more time. In fact, I now know I would have spent more time in Cuzco and the Machu Picchu area.
Machu Picchu was fabulous.
Margot, our guide, and the driver, were absolutely wonderful, low key, very personable, very accommodating, really good. We didn't end up with enough time on the last morning in Cusco to finish the tour, but got a feel- of Sacsayhuman, Qengo, Koricancha. We saw Ollayantatambo, and went to Moray and Maras, and Wayra ranch which was also outstanding, on the next day, but did not do Pisac and the market. We got tired and ran out of time so cut a couple things. Louis the coordinator was good as well.
Would love to go back and learn more some time.
The coordinator in Lima was extremely nice too, and very helpful.
In fact, we loved the food, the people and everything. The Libertador Palacio , the Tambo del Inka and the Sanctuary were indeed outstanding hotels. LAN was all on time, great service.
Thank you again for all your help.

Summary of The Absolute Value of Mike Summary of The Absolute Value of Mike Reviews for The Absolute Value of Mike An Excerpt from The Absolute Value of Mike
From the author of Mockingbird, a National Book Award winner!
Mike tries so hard to please his father, but the only language his dad seems to speak is calculus. And for a boy with a math learning disability, nothing could be more difficult. When his dad sends him to live with distant relatives in rural Pennsylvania for the summer to work on an engineering project, Mike figures this is his big chance to prove himself. But when he gets there, nothing is what he thought it would be. Instead of an engineering assignment, he finds himself part of a town-wide project to adopt a boy from Romania while working alongside his wacky eighty-something-year-old aunt, a homeless man, and a punk-rock girl. Mike might not learn anything about engineering, but what he does learn is far more valuable.

San Isidro de El General
Although San Isidro de El General has no major attractions, the bustling market town is a good place to have lunch, get cash at one of the many ATMs (most accept Visa/Plus cards), or fill your tank—the main highway into town is lined with service stations, some operating 24 hours. Advice to map readers: There are other San Isidros in Costa Rica, but this is the only San Isidro de El General. Just to confuse matters more, this town also goes by the name Peréz Zeledón.

Here's what the Marlins won't be getting with Mike Redmond as their next manager.
Marketing sizzle.
An outsized personality suitable for cable TV reality shows.
The experience of having managed a World Series winner somewhere else.
Instant relevance with even casual baseball fans in a crowded South Florida sports market.
Then again, when the Marlins introduce their 41-year-old former backup catcher as Ozzie Guillen's low-wattage successor Friday afternoon, they won't be getting any of the following either:
Profanity-laced monologues with the cameras rolling and the team logo in the background.
Extensive breakdowns of the geopolitical merits of foreign dictators.
An ego so massive it bumps against the roof at Marlins Park.
Blunt suggestions the front office take a flying leap when it dares to enter the manager's office after a tough loss or mentions potential lineup changes before the game.
Daily reminders of the manager's fat bank account and complete willingness to spend his golden years in Spain, counting his money and attending bullfights.
Confession: I will miss some, if not all, of the above now that Ozzie has been dumped and replaced with basically the Anti-Ozzie.
Ozzie was fun. And great for those in my profession.
There's no denying that.
Still, what if the Marlins got this hire right the way they have so many others?
These, remember, are the same bosses who gave Joe Girardi and Fredi Gonzalez their first chances to run a major league team. Both men have gone on to do quite well in the Bronx and Atlanta, respectively, since getting fired here.
Speaking of Fredi, the Marlins' last winning manager came up in a discussion I had Thursday with a long-time scout who watched Redmond manage the Class A Dunedin Blue Jays for about 10 games this year in the Florida State League.
"He reminded me of Fredi Gonzalez," the scout said. "I don't know if [Jeffrey] Loria will like that, but that's what I saw."
How so?
"Just the way he ran the games," the scout said. "Controlled, balanced, very even-keeled. You could tell he was very knowledgeable and had his team very prepared for every situation. Just a very professional approach."

"In addition, he will be a great role model and mentor for students, and he possesses the ability to build relationships and partnerships throughout the community."
Berry is a graduate of Fork Union and took over the program from his father-in-law, Fletcher Arritt.
Dave Rocco will continue as Covenant's Head Football Coach and will also resume the role of Assistant Athletic Director.
