Same here.
803 errors all the way in 1.2.2 and 1.5.x
tried URI and home/root/domain/dir methods of upload paths.
Yea I don't believe it even works, and the people who say they hve aren't sharing how they go it to work
The problem is that you are trying to define your upload path, the upload path is controlled in wordpress, so example
if you wordpress upload path is http://www.yourblog.com/assets
and you want you uploads to go there leave the paths blank in the photon blank.
if you want them to go to another directory after assets then just add it like this
this will fix your server error 803
Here is how I got my Photon to work with WordPress:
1. In your WordPress admin, go to Options-->Miscellaneous
- Check the box where it says "Allow File Uploads"
- Where it says "URI of this directory", I removed the slash in front of "wp-content"
2. Make sure the upload path "wp-content" on the server has permissions to read, write, execute. It should be located here:
(CHMOD command is 777)
3. In iPhoto-->Weblog--> Settings
I used Blog ID "1" and "http://domain.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php" as my access point.
4. In iPhoto-->Weblog--> Settings-->Image Upload Area
I put the URL of the path:
I hope that helps.
Hi everyone.
Is there anyone who has got the photon plugin to work with WP 2.0? If yes how?
I got photon working with WP2.0 When I updated it, the plugin was still set up in my iPhoto and it just worked. I can give you more details if you have a copy of the plugin. I lost mine and the daikini site has been taken down.

Artist Statement
During the fall and winter months, I return to Grand Central's Oyster Bar for a stellar selection of North American oysters. It's always packed and the wait staff is gruff, serving up incredible seafood in a time capsule of old New York. Mark Kurlansky's book, The Big Oyster, notes that New York City, abundant with local oysters, built road foundations from shell middens. Today, groups like NY/NJ Baykeepers are working to grow new oyster beds obliterated long ago by dredging and pollution. Oysters, like wine, are defined by terroir: what you taste is a specific bay's seawater. These prints use text to describe the action of eating. This series was handset from woodblock type on a vintage Vandercook letterpress at The Arm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a haven for this rapidly disappearing craft. The custom Verona pink-colored ink represents the interior of oyster shells. The Hamilton Gothic (also known as Franklin Gothic) type, from the 1920s, was originally owned by the Baltimore Police Department. It is a clean, honest face for everyday use. Oysters were once the everyman's food, eaten by rich and poor alike, Gothic symbolizes this spirit.

I have re-installed wordpress at the same location, and want to know if it's possible to/how to restore my old blog site to that location. I have tried the phpMyAdmin method noted in other forum threads, and it just seems to eternally stall (I can only guess, since there is no visual progress bar and nothing has worked). I don't know anything about coding, so is there a way to actually restore my site that doesn't involve high technical aptitude? I'd hate to see three years of work just cast to the wind.

I'm having two issues. I have been setting up nrelated plugin to work with the Style Settings Huffington Post. It should normally display the text extract.
1/ It doesn't display any text on posts where custom text extract has been implemented.
2/ When the custom text extract has been removed, it works well but it shows the first text that appear on the captions of the featured image.
In other terms, it display the captions and sometimes the shortcodes or other HTML characters just before the text post.
I'd like to display only the custom text that I have implemented in the extract. How can I achieve that?
Many thanks.

Fitness Do-It for 10/13: A 5K for $15?! Sign up for Trinity Forest run with REI
Good heavens. Races are sooo expensive these days! Well, not ALL of them. Sign up for REI's $15 (!!!) offering that takes place this Saturday, October 17. It starts and ends at the Trinity River Audubon Center, which I bet is as pretty as it sounds.
It's part of the 2015 REI Run Series which, admittedly, I hadn't even heard of — not till till Renee Shipey of REI told me when I was at the store researching this story.
Anyway, keeping this short and sweet, but register ASAP because space is limited. For $15 (you read that correctly), you'll get not only a beautiful place to walk or run on what looks to be a beautiful Saturday; you'll also receive REI goodies, a map of the course and…refreshments!

AES E-Library
Estimating Room Impulse Responses from Recorded Balloon Pops
Balloon pops are convenient for probing the acoustics of a space, as they generate relatively uniform radiation patterns and consistent ``N-wave' waveforms. However, the N-wave spectrum contains nulls which impart an undesired comb-filter-like quality when the recorded balloon pop is convolved with audio. Here, a method for converting recorded balloon pops into full audio bandwidth impulse responses is presented. Rather than directly processing the balloon pop recording, an impulse response is synthesized according to the echo density and frequency band energies estimated in running windows over the balloon pop. Informal listening tests show good perceptual agreement between measured room impulse responses using a loudspeaker source and a swept-sine technique, and those derived from recorded balloon pops.

Kyle is one of the best coaches in the nation at finding and developing
overlooked players. Hayes will "rise up." I think Arizona State is
slightly overrated. They're talented, but I think it will be a very close match
and although last week home field didn't mean much, it normally does.
If we beat ASU I'd say we'd be back to being favored to win the division and play in the first Pac 12 championship game. They still have to play Oregon, which is a guaranteed loss. This means both teams have 2 conference losses, and we would hold the tiebreaker over ASU. We control our own destiny with a win this Saturday. I'll be there. Will U?

Time for the Utes to dig deep and step it up. This is a must win to salvage hope of a Division title. If we win this game, the Division race becomes a dog fight.

Sadly, Utah will lose their next two games badly. If they can go 2-1 against Cal, UCLA and WSU along with beating the PAC patsies, they might get back to the Vegas bowl. A winning season, even if it includes the Montanna win, and a bowl game is better than nothing.

Yep. After losing our starting QB, and forced to go with a former D-II player,
8th sounds about right to me. However, I'm not sure what the frantic and
emotional, mid-majored 54-10 Holy War losers are gloating about. They got PONED
by 44-pts on their own home field on national TV by the Utes. They also stormed
the field, on national TV, after rallying from 11-pts down to beat a 1-3 WAC
team. Wow! Talk about EMBARRASSING!
I guess the only way for them to assuage themselves of the pain of knowing their season was over after their 1st loss -- which was in Week 2 of the 2011 season by the way -- while the Utes, despite their 0-2 record in Pac-12 play, are STILL mathematically in competition for a Rose Bowl invitation. Poor cougs; TEEMING with Ute-envy! Haha!
Oh well. Have fun down there in the WAC!

Bowl thing let alone a NC.
What does it say about BYU? Well that question could be reversed. What does it say about the u.....just that you are the little brothers who will always be chasing the big brothers looking for the NC, Heisman, Outland and the many many other awards that the Y has that the u will just keep dreaming of and never quite making it. Yes, you will win some and lose some, but u will never make it to the NC. Good Luck trying, but let's keep all things in perspective.

I'm a low dimensional topologist. I mostly care about smooth, 4-dimensional manifolds and anything that comes with the territory.
Here are some things I actively care about:
* maps from 4-manifolds to surfaces and families thereof (Lefschetz, broken, wrinkled,...)
* diagrammatic descriptions of 4-manifolds
* intersection forms of 4-manifolds with boundary
* Heegaard Floer homology, especially with twisted coefficients
I'm also curious about these things:
* Parameterized Morse theory (aka Cerf theory)
* Seiberg Witten theory (especially in comparison to Heegaard Floer theory)
* any kind of Floer theory, for that matter
* diffeomorphism groups of surfaces and 3-manifolds

It starts today.
In a week that saw the Seniors beat the Juniors in Powder Puff action, new Homecoming Royalty crowned and an 'off-the-beaten-path' route for the Friday afternoon parade of floats, Oakdale capped its fall celebration with a big varsity football win over Lathrop on Friday night. (See story, photos in Sports, Page A10.)
Members of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District board learned a little bit themselves on Monday night.
Legislation by Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen, of Modesto, to allow the use of electrically-motorized personal transportation devices in California has been signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown. The bill provides for key safety measures, while allowing local governments the flexibility to regulate their use for individual communities.
Average retail gasoline prices in Modesto have fallen 0.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.62/gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 201 gas outlets in Modesto. This compares with the national average that has increased 2.7 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.31/gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is implementing a regional effort to save lives and eliminate impaired drivers. To accomplish their mission and reduce traffic collisions involving impaired drivers, the CHP's Modesto Area office is using a federal grant to conduct a regional campaign against impaired drivers in Stanislaus County. The 12-month project started Oct. 1 and ends on Sept. 30, 2016.
Former Oakdale Irrigation District Director Jack Alpers died Thursday in Oakdale after a long illness. He was 79.
The Stanislaus County Bicycle Club is sponsoring the Golden Hills Century ride this Saturday, Oct. 10 beginning at the Odd Fellows Lodge in Knights Ferry.
"A soldier never dies – until he is forgotten" – that comment was made several times on a recent Saturday morning at the Oakdale Citizens Cemetery, as local members of the Stanislaus Civil War Association joined with the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 2023 to remember "Judge" William A. Griffin and two of his fellow veterans, Daniel "Whit" Carmichael and Thomas Jefferson Ralls.
The Oakdale Cowboy Museum announced that 470 guests were in attendance at their 18th Annual Dinner and Auction held at the Pioneer Equine Hospital on Saturday, Sept 19.
Local female aviator Alexandria Riedinger will be part of the festivities at the Oakdale Airport this weekend, as Airport Appreciation Day touches down on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Music, merriment and sights of pure joy might be found on any one of the four Oakdale Elementary school campuses this Friday, Oct. 9 as the student bodies participate in the District's annual Jog-a-Thon event.
The Cowboy Capital of the World may be a reference to the Old West history of Oakdale, but so far as the shoot-'em up Wild West, not so much, as measured by permits to carry concealed weapons (CCW) in the city of 20,000. Those with a permit can take loaded guns to the store, their workplace, and other public places as long as the firearm is not visible and is not prohibited by private property rules.
As the city seeks ways to conserve water to make its way through an intense drought, one Kimball Street home used an astonishing 816,873 gallons of water the past year, or an average of 2,023 gallons per day – five times the average use in the city.
Due to concerns with a lack of clarity and in an attempt for more transparency, Oakdale City Manager Bryan Whitemyer asked the city council Monday night, Oct. 5 to consider amending an ordinance covering the Oakdale Tourism Business Improvement District.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Republican Gov. Rick Perry says videotape seeming to show him questioning whether Texas is in a recession is
only a "snippet" of what he told a Houston business group and shouldn't be taken out of context.
Perry told reporters Tuesday he regards the Texas economy and job creation with seriousness. He said anyone who listens to what he says repeatedly or in the Houston speech Thursday would know that.
He said the videotape is the work of a "political hack."
It shows him discussing Texas' emergence from the recession and saying, "We're in one?"
The video was shot by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's gubernatorial campaign and was posted on YouTube. Hutchison's campaign has been circulating news stories highlighting Perry's remarks.

Walgreens Hires To Kick Boots Alliance Into Gear
Tuesday September 18th, 2012 - 12:19PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
To execute a strategic partnership with the British/Swiss Alliance Boots health maintenance and drug store operator, Walgreens today announced the establishment of several new senior management roles. The additional management will coordinate between Walgreens and Alliance Boots as they build a newly forged strategic partnership that will create what the companies characterized as the first global pharmacy-led, health and wellbeing enterprise.
Wade Miquelon, Walgreens CFO, will assume an expanded and global leadership role at Walgreens as executive vp/CFO and president, international. Miquelon will lead a newly named value creation services and international division. Miquelon will serve as Walgreens president and CEO Greg Wasson's senior leader in collaborating with Alliance Boots management to execute the new joint global strategy.
Walgreens also announced that current senior vp/chief strategy officer Robert Zimmerman will lead a new global mergers and acquisitions synergy team as senior vp/ international and international chief administration officer. In essence becoming Walgreens key project leader as regards the Alliance Boots partnership, Zimmerman also will serve on the Alliance Boots board of directors.
In addition, Brad Fluegel joins Walgreens as senior vp and chief strategy officer. Fluegel was executive in residence at Health Evolution Partners and previously served as executive vp and chief strategy and external affairs officer at Wellpoint, Inc., a major health benefits company. Fluegel also will lead the Walgreens project management office and corporate consulting team as well as work together with Zimmerman on the company's venture capital efforts.
Walgreens took a 45% stake in Alliance Boots this summer and stated that it expects combined synergies across both companies of between $100 million and $150 million in the first year and $1 billion by the end of 2016. To carry out a capture those synergies, the company is setting up six global synergy teams in Miquelon's new organization that will work closely with Alliance Boots management.
To complement Zimmerman's global mergers and acquisitions team, the global synergy teams will oversee worldwide value creation, global projects, new markets and international expansion, as well as procurement and pharmaceutical development.
"These new roles will allow us to move forward aggressively, working closely together with Alliance Boots, to implement our strategic partnership and realize the extensive synergies from the acquisition, as well as accelerate our core growth strategies to achieve our purpose to help people get, stay and live well," Wasson said. "The changes also reflect Walgreens high level of confidence in our senior management team, with a mix of internally and externally developed talent, to execute the strategic partnership with Alliance Boots and major initiatives across the company efficiently and effectively."

"In Five Golden Rules, John L. Casti serves as curator to a brilliant collection of 20th-century mathematical theories, leading us on a fascinating journey of discovery and insight. Probing the frontiers of modern mathematics, Casti examines the origins of some of the most important findings of this century. This is a tale of mystery and logic, elegance and reason; it is the story of five monumental mathematical breakthroughs and how they shape our lives. All those intrigued by the mathematical process, nonacademics and professionals alike, will find this an enlightening, eye-opening, and entertaining work. High school algebra or geometry - and enthusiasm - are the only prerequisites."--BOOK JACKET. "From the theorem that provided the impetus for modern computers to the calculations that sent the first men to the Moon, these breakthroughs have transformed our lives. Casti illustrates each theorem with a dazzling array of real-world problems it has helped solve - how to calculate the shape of space, optimize investment returns, even chart the course of the development of organisms. Along the way, we meet the leading thinkers of the day: John von Neumann, L.E.J. Brouwer, Marston Morse, and Alan Turing, among others. And we come to understand the combination of circumstances that led each to such revolutionary discoveries as the Minimax Theorem, which spawned the exciting field of game theory, and the Simplex Method, which underpins the powerful tools of optimization theory."--Jacket.

The control-value theory of academic emotions has emerged as a useful framework for studying the antecedents and consequences of different emotions in school. This framework focuses on the role of control-related and value-related appraisals as proximal antecedents of emotions. In this study, we take an individual differences approach to examine academic emotions and investigate how trait self-control is related to students' experience of academic emotions. We posited a model wherein trait self-control predicted academic emotions which in turn predicted engagement and perceived academic achievement. Filipino university students answered relevant questionnaires. Results indicated that self-control positively predicted positive academic emotions (enjoyment, hope, and pride) and negatively predicted negative emotions (anger, anxiety, shame, hopelessness, and boredom). Academic emotions, in turn, had a significant impact on engagement, disaffection, and perceived achievement. Implications for exploring synergies between research on trait self-control and the control-value theory of academic emotions are discussed.

NEW YORK (May 20, 2013)--The Russell 2000, an index of small-company stocks, rose above 1,000 for the first time Monday as it outpaces the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index this year.
Small stocks are doing well partly because they are less exposed to Europe's economic woes than large companies.
The Dow fell 19 points to close at 15,335, a loss of 0.1 percent.
The S&P 500 fell a point to end at 1,666, or 0.1 percent.
The Nasdaq composite fell two points to close at 3,496, or 0.1 percent.
The Russell rose a point to 998.
Three stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange where volume was light at 3.2 billion shares.

Ushuaia is the southernmost city before Antarctica and boy are they proud of it! The city is the capital of the region Tierra del Fuego. In this region you'll enjoy a host of outdoor adventures from hiking in the Martiel mountain range which is the backdrop to the town, cruising through the Magellan Strait or visiting the nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park as part of a 2 or 3-week holiday in Patagonia.
Want something less strenuous or pushed for time? Take a multi-activity day trip; 4x4 off road tour of Lago Fagnano, walk amongst penguins on Martillo Island or join a tour to see the local Estancia Harberton.

How do I get there?
The most direct way of getting to Ushuaia is flying from Buenos Aires. There are also flights from El Calafate to Ushuaia per day with a duration of 1hr 17m. To find out more about flights, see our Patagonia flights page.
Buses are also an option, buses board the ferry from Punta Delgada in Chile passing through Rio Grande before arriving in Ushuaia. However, this bus trip takes over 12 hours and although it's quite an enjoyable route, many people don't want to spend time on the bus.
We recommend taking the scenic route. First of all visit Los Glaciares National Park then make your way over the border to trek the W Circuit of Torres del Paine National Park. Afterwards, hop on a bus to Punta Arenas and board the adventure cruise, a 5 day cruise along the fjords and islands of the Chilean coast, round Cape Horn and through the Magellan Strait, finishing in Ushuaia.
What makes Ushuaia special?
The last point before Antarctica, Ushuaia is located in Tierra del Fuego or 'Land of Fire', known for its wild and remote landscape and the place where Darwin formed his theory of evolution. Ushuaia is the best place to base yourself as the region has a beautiful national park, only a small part of which is open to the public for day trips and many mountain ranges, some more accessible than others. The landscape here is green and wild, with many beautiful coastal walks, pebbled beaches and mountains everywhere you look.
Ushuaia is easy to access and is a great place to see Ushuaia as part of a longer, guided tour of Patagonia. We offer several trips that allow you to do this from 13 - 23 days in order to see the very best parts of Patagonia including Torres del Paine National Park and El Chalten.
What are the highlights?
A fantastic way of seeing the best of Tierra del Fuego is on an Adventure Cruise. You can take a 4-day cruise from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas (5-days vice versa), you'll round Cape Horn before travelling up the Magellan Straits and along the coast of Chile where you'll see glaciers, forests, penguins and sea lions. The cruise makes daily excursions in fast Zodiac boats, with guided walks and fantastic views. Cabins are comfortable and there's an open bar, 4 course meals, evening entertainment and informative videos and talks from the guides each day. We wholeheartedly recommend sitting back with a glass of cava as you sail past Glacier Alley; 5 hanging glaciers inaccessible by any other means.
Fewer people get out into the mountains here because it's so much more remote. Our partners offer a range of hiking trips in the mountain ranges surrounding Ushuaia and perhaps one of the most exciting is a 20-day trip that Explores the Darwin Moutain Range and combines sailing the icy waters of the Magellan Straits in amongst the glaciers of the Cordillera Darwin Mountain Range and trekking along the Atlantic coast.
Kayaking in the Beagle Channel is a unique experience and not for the faint hearted. The Beagle Channel is known for its strong winds and choppy waves, but kayaking in it is a one off experience which will take you to the channel's remote islands and wildlife.
What is there to do in Ushuaia?
There's a lot to see and do in this region, particularly if you like history and nature - on the coastal walk in the national park, you'll see where the Yaghan boat people used to live as all that remains are 'concheros', (from the Spanish word 'concha', or shell) which are circle shapes in the ground where the natives disgarded their leftover mollusks and shells. More active options include canoeing in Lapataia bay, catching a boat to see the sea lion colony on the 'Isla de Lobos' in the Beagle Channel or join a tour to Isla Martillo to walk on a pebbled beach amongst hundreds of Gentoo penguins.
There are a multitude of museums to visit - the Maritime and Prison Museum, which actually gives a very informative and bleak insight into Ushuaia's past as a penal colony. The Yaghana Museum - A small but interesting museum, dedicated to documenting the way the Yaghana people lived in Tierra del Fuego. You can also take a taxi up to the Martiel Mountain Range and catch a ski lift up to Glacier Martiel to look down over the whole port and Beagle Channel. The ski lift up and down costs $55 Argentinian pesos per person, approximately 9 pounds.
Alternatively, buy a ticket at the Ushuaia Boating ticket office in order to catch an early morning ferry to the Chilean naval settlement of Puerto Williams. From this tiny place, you'll be able to catch a bus to Navarino Island where you can start a fantastic 5-day Dientes de Navarino trek along a beautiful mountain range whose name, 'Navarino Teeth' comes from their incredible formation.
What about the penguins?
Patagonia is a wonderful place to see wildlife. Penguins can be seen on various islands throughout Tierra del Fuego and in the Beagle Channel. If you're hoping to see penguins in their natural habitat there are several places to do this. On the Tierra del Fuego cruise you'll stop at Tucker Islets and watch as hundreds of Magellanic penguins dip in and out of the water.
You'll also see sea lions grouped together, fighting, eating and sun bathing on the 'Isla de Los Lobos' in the Beagle Channel, which is a great chance to get up close to them on a small boat and get some great photos. If you want to get up closer still, join a canoe trip in Lapataia bay within the Tierra del Fuego National Park. You'll see hundreds of comorants and if you're lucky, a couple of seals will bob their heads out of the water around you.
Where is Ushuaia?
Ushuaia is quite easy to find on a map as it is the capital of Argentinian Tierra del Fuego, (the broken up part of the very southern tip of Patagonia and South America). It is made up of an archipelago of islets and is divided between Chile and Argentina, although the majority of Tierra del Fuego is in Argentina and its borders follow the direction of the Andean Mountain Range. The biggest city in the area is Ushuaia in Argentina, whilst Puerto Williams, the last town before Antarctica, is in the Chilean part.
What time of year is best to visit?
The climate is generally windy with a chill in winter so it's best to visit during the Patagonian summer months of November to March when it will be about 5-10 degrees most days.
If you have only a few days to spend in Ushuaia, it's definitely better to get something booked for before you arrive. For example, if the ferry from Ushuaia to Puerto Williams doesn't have a sufficient number of passengers, it won't run and it's good to know that kind of thing before you turn up.
How far is it from Antarctica? Can I do a trip combining both?
The distance between Ushuaia and Livingstone Island in Antarctica is approximately 950 km or 590 miles and the journey to the island takes 3 days to cross. We're currently in the process of recruiting companies that combine trips to Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica cruises. We have partners that run Tierra del Fuego trips and Antarctica trips, so these can be combined to form one long adventure holiday. Note that trips to Antarctica are generally longer in duration than many of our other trips, sometimes lasting up to 23 days.
What's the connection with Darwin?
In 1833, a 23 year old Charles Darwin joined the British Expedition on the HMS Beagle to survey the southern tip of South America. Darwin travelled with Captain Fitzroy who would eventually bring four captive natives back to England with the hope of 'civilizing them' through teaching them the Catholic faith, the English language and manners.
Darwin made extensive visits throughout South America but it was in Tierra del Fuego where he was amazed at the differences between the 'uncivilized' aborigines that he found there and the 'civilized' people in Britain.

'Most wanted Nazi' Sandor Kepiro, 97, tried in HungaryBreaking News
A 97-year-old Hungarian accused of massacring civilians in Serbia in 1942 has gone on trial in Hungary.
Sandor Kepiro was listed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center as the world's most wanted Nazi war crimes suspect.
More than 1,200 Jewish, Serb and Roma civilians were murdered over three days by Hungarian forces in a notorious massacre in the city of Novi Sad.
As Mr Kepiro arrived at court he told reporters he was "completely innocent" and called the trial a "circus".
After using a walking stick on his way into the court in Budapest, he took his seat and displayed a printed sheet of paper stating: "Murderers of a 97-year-old man!"
The former police captain is accused of "complicity in war crimes".
Prosecutor Zsolt Falvai detailed the charges. He said Mr Kepiro was directly responsible for the death of 36 Jews and Serbs - including 30 who were put on a lorry on the defendant's orders and taken away and shot....

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
- Alphaville, "Forever Young"
(In case you were wondering the name of the '80s song that was featured in the formal dance scene of "Napoleon Dynamite," now you know.)
At some point or another, whether we want to face it or not, there is an inevitable decline in a baseball player's skill level. The big question isn't "Why don't they stay young?", as Alphaville wistfully asked. Rather, it's "When are they too old?" I wish there was an easy answer, but it differs with every player. Before we get to the other highlights, let's take a hard look at players over the age of 30 who have tormented fantasy owners this season
It's been well over a year since Scott Rolen underwent surgery on his left shoulder. Therefore, many fantasy players expected he'd start his 2007 season on a stronger note. However, it was last October when Rolen received a cortisone injection in that same shoulder, so despite his great comeback season, it's not as if the surgery was definitive success. Fast-forward to this season, when Rolen is having trouble getting smooth swings off and he's not driving the ball deep with any kind of authority. He's always gone through patches in which the high and inside fastballs gave him fits, but now he can barely fight off some of the 90 mph fastballs over the middle. His plate discipline remains strong, but his coverage just doesn't look the same this season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see wear and tear later in the season; and it would be very optimistic at this point to expect anything over 18-20 home runs.
On Wednesday, Carlos Delgado was moved down to the sixth spot in the batting order; the lowest spot he has hit in since 1997. Delgado has looked off balance for most of the season; failing to get level cuts and getting under the ball. His bat speed has lost a tick, as he's having trouble catching up to high fastballs, but it appears to be more about slow timing than anything. I think the age factor, in addition to the left elbow and right wrist surgeries that he had in the offseason, has probably sapped some of his strength and there's a chance he could be a batting-average liability all season. He has taken some level swings since being moved to the sixth spot, so at least it's a move in the right direction in his recovery.
Happy Birthday, Miguel Tejada. You just turned 31 years old in time for the column. He did a better job of getting his hands back before his swing when he ripped just his third home run of the season on Thursday. Overall, he's had a tendency to drop his hands and get tied up during his swings and has lacked pull power on inside pitches -- he gets jammed for grounders or weak singles. Remember, he only hit 10 home runs combined between June and September of last season.
I think I lost count of how many times I've seen Paul Konerko either drop his head down or slam his bat to the ground in disgust after a weak pop or groundout. Konerko wears his emotions on his sleeve and puts a lot of pressure on himself to perform, and his early struggles appear to be due to in part to an anxious mental approach. It's eerily similar to his slow starts in 2003 and 2005. Now that Jim Thome has returned to the lineup and the team is hitting more as a whole, Konerko should be able to take it easier on himself and not try to swing for the fences so much.
Highlighted Players
Fausto Carmona, SP, CLE -- He's greatly improved in both confidence and command of his hard sinker, which he uses to pound the bottom half of the strike zone. Carmona also throws a good four-seam fastball around 95 mph that he can command at the corners, and he can mix in a slider and changeup as secondary offerings. The sinker is his bread and butter though and it's worked wonders so far. Most of the time, opposing hitters get very weak swings on it and can't catch up to its late downward break. Many just beat it down into the dirt or a few feet in front of the plate and I've seen a bunch of broken bats as well.
Garrett Atkins, 3B, COL -- Atkins has been prone to chasing the high fastball this season, but he's also run into a lot of bad luck. He's hit many line-drive outs this year or barely missed the gaps. I've also noticed he often squints when he's at the plate, but I can't say for sure if that's because he's having trouble seeing the ball.
Jeremy Guthrie, SP, BAL -- Guthrie has been overlooked in many leagues despite his success after being moved into the rotation this month. It's easy to forget that Guthrie was a first-round draft pick in 2002. He has a very good fastball, which he can get up to 96 mph, and he's locating it on both sides of the plate. He also has a good changeup, a tight slider and his curveball, which could be a quality pitch if he could locate it better. The Blue Jays locked in on his fastball on Thursday, but Guthrie continued to show poise and get the needed double-play grounders. Pitching coach Leo Mazzone has helped Guthrie focus on his fastball foremost -- commanding it low in the zone and at the corners. Fun fact: Guthrie did not pitch or even touch a baseball for two seasons (1999-2000) while on a Mormon mission in Spain. For more famous baseball players with Mormon ties, check out: http://famousmormons.net/baseball.html
Justin Germano, SP, SD -- Germano has thrown many hitters off balance with huge changes in velocity between his fastball and curveball. His fastball isn't that good and sits in the high 80s, though it has good sink. when he commands his curveball, which he throws anywhere between 68 to 75 MPH, it really disrupts hitters' timing. I'm not high on his long-term success this season because of his lack of strikeout stuff, but he should be good for spot starts if he sticks.
Jack Cust, OF, OAK -- I don't know if other pitchers will follow suit, but Jon Garland figured out Cust doesn't like the high fastball and lacks the agility to reach the outer half of the plate. It's much easier for Cust to pull the belt-high pitch with his short powerful stroke. Due to poor defensive range, he'll need to keep hitting if he wants to stay in the lineup when Mike Piazza returns.
Angel Guzman, SP, CHC -- Granted, we haven't seen enough of Guzman in a relief role, but he gets my vote for future Cubs closer. He uses his 92-93 mph fastball with good sink to get ahead in the count early and mixes in a 78 mph curveball that drops out of the zone. He still needs to refine his command of his slider.
Ramon Ortiz, SP, MIN -- That was a very short-lived renaissance wasn't it? Ortiz has strayed from the aggressive (and successful) April approach of working his two-seam fastball inside, early in the count. He's gone back to relying too much on his slider and leaving pitches down the middle and up in the zone.
Quick Cutaways
Kevin Kouzmanoff has exhibited better plate discipline lately and is hitting to the opposite field more. Claudio Vargas has positive early results, but he's been nibbling at the corners too much and working from behind in the count, so beware of further fallout Heath Bell has shown improved command of his curveball this year and better location of his slider both in and out of the zone Jorge Sosa has improved his slider as well by locating it sharply both in and out of the zone, but he still leaves his fastballs too high, which will lead to recurring problems with the long ball J.J. Hardy has been more aggressive at the plate recently, as pitchers have picked up on his tendency to go after high fastballs, but it's too early to tell if it will become a big issue Chone Figgins has looked more comfortable with his swing over the past couple of games, his bat speed is there and he's taking some better cuts And finally, as my colleague Ben Duggan likes to say, Carlos Zambrano is still "alligator-arming it."

In the digital age, all discussions of image editing software lead to Adobe Photoshop (PS).

Heavyweight software comes at serious prices with gigantic overheads. For people who want to avoid the Adobe business model and the various costs and other overheads that PS demands, Pixelmator is an alternative.
