Posted on January 28, 2010 in Miscellaneous Tournaments
Since our time in Australia is coming to an end, Mats and I will be reporting a little less news on the blog. We would like to thank you for taking the time to read our daily activities, and because we have only one of our players in the tournament we will be slowing down a lot.
Yesterday was a day of walking around the grounds, and in the second week there are fewer players in the tournament and fewer people roaming the grounds. It is always a special feeling in the second week of a slam.
When you arrive at the site and are walking in the corridors, it is much more quiet, and it is also a sad feeling because you realize it is coming to an end. Everything becomes easier, from booking practice courts to getting transportation to getting new balls for practices.
We wanted to watch some juniors because this is where the new generation is preparing for the big world of tennis. They are playing on the outside courts, and you have to do quite a bit of walking to cover all the courts from Court 20 to Court 10. Rod Laver Arena stands between these courts, and it takes at least 10 minutes before you reach the other side of the site.
The weather has been extremely mild this year, so it has been very pleasant for fans, players and coaches and has been one of the best in the 19 years I've been coming to the Australian Open.
We wanted to watch Laura Robson again, so along the way we also passed Court 4 where Andy Murray was having his day of recovery. It is always strange to congratulate somebody if they have won through retirement, but this one is special because it is his first semifinal here in Australia. There is a slight possibility that Mats will be hitting with Andy in the next few days because his coach Miles has a sore back.
Laura won her match and was not the most energetic on the court. I spoke to her after the match, and she said she had slept poorly and her mind was thinking of her whole day. She had to play her quarterfinal (open division) women's doubles match, which was scheduled to be after Tsonga-Djokovic at 7:30 p.m. I fully understand that a 16-year-old can get tired and her mind may wonder.
After her match, we decided to have a quick sandwich before heading to The Oval, where there is a big beer garden and other activities for the fans with live music and bars and restaurants. We wanted to watch the Serena and Roger matches there. We ended up staying there until about 6 p.m., and Roger had just won the second set before we walked over to Maria Kirilenko's at 6:30 p.m. warm-up for her doubles match.
We watched the end of the Federer match in the lounge, and we had a nice dinner in the players' restaurant before we headed over to the night match of the day: Tsonga vs. Djokovic. The first two sets were spectacular. The women's doubles match that was originally planned after the match was moved to the Margaret Court Arena at 10 p.m., and I was getting updates from Laura Robson's coach. She and her partner were leading 4-0 in the first. So I decided to walk over and watch a little from the side of the court. (I am not supposed to be in the player's box of either of the players, but I am allowed to sit and watch neutrally.) I came in at 4-3 for Robson and Peers, but Kirilenko and Radwanska turned it around and won the set 6-4. I stayed for one more game before heading back to center court. I watched as Tsonga was fighting his way back after losing the third, and Djokovic was running of the court because he seemed ill. At the end Tsonga won the battle and put another adidas player into the semis.
Today is going to be a bit slower, but I look forward to see Justine Henin play her comeback semi and roam the grounds again and in between have a personal workout in the gym.
Another day of Paradise is beginning.

on March 14, 2014 - 7:07 PM
U.S. stocks fell Friday, a day after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost the most in five weeks, as talks with Russia failed to end a standoff over the Crimea ahead of Sunday's referendum.
Bank of America Corp. dropped 2.1 percent amid a rate- rigging lawsuit by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Aeropostale Inc. tumbled 20 percent after mounting losses and a $150 million loan raised concern the company is running out of cash. Yahoo! Inc. climbed 1 percent, increasing for the first time in six days.
The S&P 500 lost 0.3 percent to 1,841.13. The equity gauge had its biggest weekly decline since January, after closing at an all-time high on March 7. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 43.22 points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,065.67. About 6.7 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, in line with the three-month average.
"I think we've been kind of expecting volatility right now," said Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer of First American Trusta. His firm manages $1.1 billion. "There's a lot of different stuff going on in the world."
The U.S. and the European Union are threatening sanctions against Russia if it doesn't back down from annexing Crimea. Ukraine's Kiev-based cabinet says Russia has taken over the southern region and is massing troops on its border.
"Everyone is watching this Ukraine situation, not knowing what to make of it," said John Carey, a fund manager at Pioneer Investment Management Inc., a Boston-based firm that manages about $220 billion worldwide, "Consumer confidence was a little low, although I think people still need to coincide what the weather has done to the data. People are realizing the market is OK if we don't have a real setback internationally."
Consumer confidence in the U.S. unexpectedly dropped in March to a four-month low, data showed Friday, indicating household spending may be slow to pick up from a weather-related setback earlier this year.
The Federal Open Market Committee, which meets March 18-19, has cut monthly bond buying to $65 billion from $85 billion in December. Policy makers have indicated they plan to taper by $10 billion at each meeting absent a weakening in the economy.
Three rounds of Fed stimulus have helped push the S&P 500 up 172 percent from a 12-year low, as U.S. equities enter the sixth year of a bull market that started March 9, 2009.
Four of 10 main industries in the S&P 500 fell today, as technology and financial shares erased more than 0.5 percent.
Bank of America slipped 2.1 percent to $16.80. The lender, Citigroup Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG were among more than a dozen banks sued by the FDIC for allegedly manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate from 2007 to 2011.
Credit Suisse decreased 2.5 percent to $30.25 in U.S. trading and Citigroup fell 1 percent to $46.88.
Aeropostale tumbled 20 percent to $5.83, the lowest level since 2003. The teen apparel retailer forecast a loss of as much as 75 cents a share for its first quarter, more than the 17-cent loss estimated by analysts. The company also said it has entered a strategic partnership with Sycamore Partners, which will provide the $150 million loan.
Boston Scientific Corp. climbed 2.1 percent to $13.01 after the company's Ingevity pacemaker wires received European approval as they met certain product standards.

Product Details
The sweater you'll wear with almost everything. It's soft, flattering and layers well—so you can totally justify buying several. This edition features classic stripes in fun color combinations.
Size & Fit Details
Tippi sweater in stripe
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Julie I didn't love it.... I'm not growing....but everything seems to be shrinking. This sweater is slightly too short in the length and the sleeves... I'm tired of "bracelet" sleeves.. The material is very thin. I felt that this sweater was over priced. January 13, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by shoptilIdrop Not as good as in the past, but still a staple. I have a lot of the Tippi Sweater. I have always been a M. I'm 5'10" and 148lbs and the length of the sweater was ok, even for me. I am not a fan of the 3/4 sleeve length, but I wear it under a blazer, so I've made it work. The Tippi this year is smaller. The M did not look good. It was too tight. I went up to the large and bought both the black/champagne and the navy/red. Now they are a little bit too big - can be kind of sloppy looking....but I really wanted something other than my solids, so I kept them both in size L. I agree that the quality of JCrew is continuing to falter. My older Tippi Sweaters are much better quality fabric and a little bit heavier. These can be see through depending on the color and what you have underneath. I'm ok with it, since I wear them mostly under JCrew blazers. I would recommend if your expectations are correct. January 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophie Fun addition! I have several tippi's and this one is a great addition to my solids. I love the warmth, but light weight, a great layering piece! January 14, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Minnesota Cute... I love the Tippi; I wear one once a week. Unfortunately, the fit was a little off. It's still cute, but it fits smaller than my normal size medium. February 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LJmom Tippi sweater Black/White stripe Love the sweater.... great weight, classic stripe. Has 3/4 sleeves perfect for layering or for wearing alone. February 10, 2016

Bulgari Pour Homme, though it depends on what type of business it is. BPH is nice without being candied. And if anyone asks, when you tell people that you've got something on from Bulgari, it will add to your image as sophisticated and worldly. In a cool way.
Grandpa Wheatstraw
Hanae Mori, is what I voted.
From that list I would go with HM.
But in my opinion the perfect office scent is Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir.
KC Reaction or Tiffany For Men, depending on your mood.

I would use ADP Colonia if I worked in an office and could afford it.
I really like the opening of Bulgari PH but I can't smell it after 45 minutes.
another vote for Tiffany For Men
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
I voted also for Bvlgari PH, even if I don't like it too much.
But, as others said, Bvlgari PH Soir is another (better) story...you definitely should try this out!
"I love fragrances because they provide a sheer endless variety: there is a scent for every occasion, mood or feeling. Standing before my collection in the morning matching a perfume to my needs is one of the most enjoyable things in my day"
My Top 15 Autumn :: Gucci pour Homme I :: Cacharel Nemo :: YSL M7 vintage :: L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau du Navigateur :: Bentley Absolute :: Creed Royal Oud :: Thierry Mugler B*Men :: YSL M7 Oud Absolu :: Guerlain Heritage :: Dior Homme Parfum :: Thierry Mugler Pure Coffee :: Lancome Miracle Homme :: Versace Man :: Armani Attitude :: Dueto Parfums Über ::
Thanks for the recommendation! I didn't know about Bvlgari pour homme soir. I will check out a sample.
Tiffany for Men.
Don't wear scents to the office!

Detroit, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?
Thou wouldst fain destroy the temple! If thou be Jesus, Son of the Father, now from the Cross descend thou, that we behold it and believe on thee when we behold it. If thou art King over Israel, save thyself then!
God, My Father, why has thou forsaken me? All those who were my friends, all have now forsaken me. And he that hate me do now prevail against me, and he whom I cherished, he hath betrayed me.

What Detroit's Bankruptcy Teaches America
As has long been expected, the city of Detroit has officially filed for bankruptcy.

A Suburban Economic Future?
The basic, often unappreciated, fact about economic life in Australia's metropolitan regions are that most of the jobs are in suburban locations. Our central business districts (CBDs) – prominent though they are – account for only around 10% of all metro wide jobs. That rises to maybe 15% if you include inner city areas. But still, 85% of everyone else who calls Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne home works somewhere other than the CBD or inner city. read more »
Metropolitan Dispersion: 1950-2012
America has become much more metropolitan since 1950, when the Office of Management and Budget released the first modern criteria for determining the boundaries of metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas are the economic or functional definition of the "city." They are otherwise known as labor markets and include the physical "urban area" (the area of continuous development) as well as economically connected rural territory from which people commute into the urban area. read more »
Eastvale, CA: Suburban Charm Trumps Urban Convenience
Eastvale, a new community just over the Riverside County line from Orange County, is a place that most urbanists would naturally detest. City Hall is no architectural masterpiece, occupying a small office inside the area's largest shopping mall. The streets are wide, and the houses tend to be over 2,500 square feet. There's nothing close to a walking district and little in the way of restaurants besides fast-food outlets and chain eateries. read more »

The violence spread to the nearby districts of Rinkeby and Tensta as well as to other parts of Sweden. read more »
Suburbia's Sacred Spaces
From the earliest times, cities have revolved around three basic concepts – security, the marketplace and what I call "the sacred space."

The latest data (2011) from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) indicates that violent crime continued to decline in both the suburbs and historical cores of major metropolitan areas (over 1,000,000 residents). Since 2001, the rates of decline have been similar, but contrary to media reports, the decline has been slightly greater in the suburbs than in the historical cores. read more »

Ok, so ive downloaded it and when i open it up, it says "cannot connect to the server" "Horizon is running in offline mode. you have limited access to modding" or something like that.. how can i get FULL access to Horizon?? ive already tried deleting it and re-downloading it and it still doesnt work D: also.. the MW3 mod is unstable. it freezes when i pull out the default weapon and when i activate the "unlock all weapons" mod, it works but all of the guns are pulled out twice and have no ammo. PLEASE HELP..??
Try restarting your internet or flushing your dns. If that doesn't work check your anti-virus to see if it's allowing it.
What anti-virus do you use?
Are you running Horizon as Admin?
That often fixes connection issues.
Also, what anti virus do you have?
i use avast and im also have this problem. i can`t use any of options that need diamond.
You need to go to the firewall section.
Add an exception for Horizon in the application rules.
Alternatively, you can uninstall Avast. That will more than likely fix the issue.
If it still gives you problems, PM me.
Remove or disable Avast, It causes a lot of problems with horizon IMO. Try disabling it or putting it in game mode and start horizon as admin.
Reset your Router / Modem, then try running Horizon. If that doesn't work, flush your dns. Once that is done, try and see if you can run in online mode. If that does not work, try restarting your computer, once done, try it, once again. Make sure you are running Horizon in Administrator too. Also, you may have to make a slight ajustment to your virus-protection.
I'm running Symantec Endpoint and I'm having the same problem of it running offline. Other times it won't even load up. I want to get Diamond but I'm not doing that if I can't get the regular version to run.
Do you use the firewall on it?
If so disable it, run Horizon as Admin and see how that goes.
I tried adding an exception to the Firewall as well as just turning it off completely and still no dice. However I did figure out a way to always get Horizon to load up. I have to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 2000.
Well, that's the first step! I'm glad Horizon is at least loading.
Have you tried running Horizon as the Admininstrator?
That often fixes connection issues with Horizon.
I would like to thank you for taking the time out to help me. I really appreciate it. I gave up on my PC and started using Horizon on my Netbook and it works like a charm. It's actually more convenient since I had no real use for my Netbook since I finished school. Thanks again.
hey i also need help cuse i dont know if there is a virus on the site , hackers , or my horizon is not " mannualy updated please help im almost out of cash in one of my games

Google is going head-to-head with Wikipedia after finally releasing Knol - a user-generated online encyclopedia, which was first announced in December last year.
Google claims the service, which has been kept under wraps in private testing, is different to Wikipedia in a number of ways. Specifically, it encourages writers to use their real names and stand behind their articles. It will also offers users the possibility to generate income from their work via Google ads.
Check your broadband speed and enter our £4,000 prize draw by completing PC Advisor's Broadband Survey 2008
"Every knol will have an author, or group of authors, who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good," Knol product manager Cedric Dupont and software engineer Michael McNally said in a blog.
Wikipedia, on the other hand, has a culture of anonymity in which contributors rarely use their real names, and no ads appear on the site.
In addition, Knol apparently will have more controls over submissions and edits than Wikipedia. In Knol, readers can suggest changes to articles, and the authors have the final word on whether to accept or reject the feedback. "This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it," the Google officials said.
"Readers will also be able to rate articles and write reviews of them."
In Wikipedia, anyone can make changes to articles and have them appear instantly online.
Although in the blog posting knols are described as "authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects," a Google spokesman said that anyone can write an article.
"Google will have no advance knowledge of the content of a knol and we will not be doing editorial screening of content posted by users and authors," he said.
In addition, Google will encourage authors to use their real names, but will not require it, he said. Google will give authors the ability to have their identity confirmed via a telephone or credit card verification process. Articles penned by these authors will appear with a 'verified' stamp, he said.
Another difference is that in Wikipedia all content is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. This means that Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed, as long as the new version extends those same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used.
NEXT PAGE: More differences between Knol and Wikipedia
Google has gone head-to-head with Wikipedia after finally releasing Knol - a user-generated online encyclopedia, which was first announced in December last year.
In Knol, authors will get two options for licensing their work. They may choose to reserve some rights using a Creative Commons licence. They also may opt for a traditional copyright licence format to reserve all rights.
"We want to give authors a choice and provide them with an option to publish content in the manner they desire. For some authors, it is important to make their work freely available to the world with a minimum of legal restrictions, while others prefer the 'all rights reserved' model the spokesman said.
Knol is far from revolutionary, considering its similarities not only to Wikipedia but also to other sites like Squidoo, so it remains to be seen whether the Google entry will attract a critical mass of contributors and readers, said Gartner analyst Andrew Frank.
"It's a long shot, if you had to give it odds on whether this will change the world or not," he said.
What's clear is that Knol is another example of Google's power and resources, since not many companies would dare attempt to compete against such an entrenched player as Wikipedia, he said. "It's interesting and certainly shows how Google is one of the few companies with the scale to be able to do an experiment like this without being intimidated by Wikipedia," Frank said.
Although the roster of Wikipedia and Knol contributors will overlap to an extent, Knol will likely attract a different type of author as well - those who want to take advantage of the marketing and revenue opportunities the Google service offers, said industry analyst Greg Sterling of Sterling Market Intelligence.
This has its pros and cons. It may yield articles of excellent quality, but the model will likely sacrifice the collective participation on individual entries that Wikipedia fosters and that results in a generally effective quality control and community policing, Sterling said.
In terms of layout, Knol at first glance seems more user-friendly and appealing than the bare, academic-journal look of Wikipedia, and this might help the Google service attract readers, Sterling said.
Jay Walsh, spokesman of the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia's parent organisation, declined to comment about the competing Google service, but said the group is "always happy" when information is made freely available to the public "under any of the free content licenses".
"The Foundation's mission is to increase the amount of free knowledge globally, and to help bring that knowledge to audiences in as many formats and methods as possible, both on the internet and in off-line formats. To that end, we're always pleased to see other organisations undertaking similar, free knowledge mission work," Walsh said.

The conservative Christian organization from which founder Bill Gothard resigned four months ago amid allegations of sexual harassment revealed in a contested statement that it has found no criminal activity but will maintain its ban against Gothard's participation in the nonprofit. Gothard, meanwhile, insists his "intent was never to harass" alleged victims.
A statement written by the board of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, an education-oriented nonprofit that promotes "God's principles found in Scripture," reveals:
"In response to allegations against Bill Gothard, the board sought the facts through a confidential and thorough review process conducted by outside legal counsel. Many people were interviewed, including former board members, current and past staff members, current and past administrators, parents, and family members. more >>
An impressive seven of 10 homeschooled children from a Christian family in Montgomery, Alabama, which now boasts a doctor and New York City architect among them, all started college by the time they were 12; and now their parents have written a book about how they managed to pull off such staggering academic success.
The parents of the 10 children, Mona Lisa and Kip Harding, are described as high school sweethearts on a website dedicated to The Brainy Bunch Book.
"After four kids, they decided to turn to homeschooling, and their success paved the way for their children to start college by the age of 12, and go on to great careers in medicine, engineering, architecture and more," explaines the website. more >>
Did you know that anyone can call themselves an evangelical? Sure. The description is up for grabs so long as you pair your evangelical label with sweet-sounding descriptors and fluffy mission statements. At least, that's the emerging trend.
Floating into the inboxes of prominent evangelical leaders is an invitation to join what's being called The Compassionate Evangelicalism Network (TCEN), a developing new project of the organization Faith in Public Life. While the project sounds well intentioned, pastors and evangelical leaders should use caution before joining a network subsidized by pro-abortion activists.
Here's an example of what Faith in Public Life (FPL) considers a compassionate evangelical: "[E]vangelical leaders who would be willing to speak up in support of the issue of Anti-LGBTQ Discrimination legislation" and "take a stand on a wide array of justice issues." more >>
A leggy 17-year-old girl from Virginia says she was kicked out of the Richmond Homeschool Prom because several fathers complained that her dress triggered "impure thoughts." Others who attended the event held in a church gym, however, are calling her a liar.
In a guest post on her sister's blog Clare Ettinger explained that one of the female organizers of the event took issue with her dress even after she had checked to make sure that it met the "fingertip length" dress code, which is a requirement for attending the prom. Even after that, she said, the same woman pulled her aside during the prom and advised her that her provocative dancing in her dress could incite "impure thoughts" among the young men in the room.
"She took me into a corner in the hallway, with another woman (who I'm assuming was a parent/chaperone), and told me that some of the dads who were chaperoning had complained that my dancing was too provocative and that I was going to cause the young men at the prom to think impure thoughts," wrote Ettinger. more >>
Bill Gothard, an influential conservative Christian leader in the homeschooling movement, has released a statement denying allegations that he sexually harassed women and teen girls. He insists in the statement that his behavior toward those whom he favored, such as holding hands or touching the feet or hair of young ladies, was never carried out "immorally or with sexual intent."
In his statement publicized via his Twitter account Thursday night, Gothard addressed ways in which he believes he failed in his leadership of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, which he quit last month more than 50 years after founding the nonprofit organization.
"For many years I have been building the Institute but losing my first love for the Lord," Gothard, 79, writes in the statement, which appears in full at the end of this report. more >>
Michael Farris, the chairman and cofounder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, has criticized the biblical patriarchy beliefs of his former HSLDA colleague and Vision Forum founder, Doug Phillips, and said he regrets not speaking out against him sooner.
Michael Farris, an attorney who also founded Patrick Henry College, has expressed remorse for not making it clear sooner that he did not condone Phillips' views.
"There was no way that I could have known that Doug was involved in sexual misconduct, but I knew that he was involved in unscriptural views about women in his teaching," Farris wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday, referring to Phillips' admission last year that he had cheated on his wife. more >>

Hostess: Twinkies to return to shelves July 15
NEW YORK -- Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves in July.
The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers in 2012 is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.
Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return in July for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will bare the tag line "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."
"A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves," says Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.
Hostess Brands Inc. was struggling for years before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in early 2012. The eventual shuttering triggered a rush on Hostess snack cakes, with stores selling out of the most popular brands within hours.
In unwinding its business, Hostess sold off its brands in chunks to different buyers. Its major bread brands including Wonder were sold to Flowers Foods, which makes Tastykakes. McKee Foods, which makes Little Debbie snack cakes, snapped up Drake's Cake, which includes Devil Dogs and Yodels. Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo bought Twinkies and other Hostess cakes for $410 million.

Node.js. Node.js and MongoDB. Static Version This was the sixth in a series of posts leading up to Node.js Knockout on how to use node.js.
This post was written by 10gen and is cross-posted from their blog. 10gen is the corporate sponsor of MongoDB. MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). Node.JS. Getting Started with Node.js on Windows.
UPDATE: New packages and further items What a difference a year makes.
Last year at the first conference solely dedicated to JavaScript, JSConf 2009, there was a big focus on the uses of JavaScript on the client side. This year, there was a marked change with server-side JavaScript taking up about half the sessions at JSConf 2010 this past April. Why Developers Should Pay Attention to Node.js. There's a substantial amount of buzz and enthusiasm right now about Node.js.
Secondly, thanks to the expressiveness of JavaScript and the concise yet powerful Node.js API, you can build programs that have been typically considered out of reach or too time consuming. Introduction to Nodejs (taking javascript to the server-side) - GeexHQ. 0inShare Web Technologies so far Remeber those days when we used only the basic features of html to bring texts, images, tables and few other layouts into our webpage, Later CSS came into the picture and created a huge impact or it has actually influenced the way a normal web user-interface is made.
After creating webpages & designs using markups and CSS, developers turned their focus onto the data transfer techniques, thats when Ajax came into the picture. Ajax is one among the awesome web technologies that has taken the web user experience to another level, these days we do a lot of work on the web in less time and without actually reloading a full page. And then we have javascripts on the client side for creating all the user interactions along with ajax & more other technologies Taking Javascript to the server-side. Node.js. Node.js. Why You Should Pay Attention to Node.Js ? tecosystems. Learning Server-Side JavaScript with Node.js.
Node.js is all the buzz at the moment, and makes creating high performance, real-time web applications easy.
Then there was Ajax. But now think about how you'd go about building a service like FriendFeed, where each user's feed is updating in real time, all the time. Now think about what that means for a traditional web server like Apache. So what's the solution? Virtual Panel: The Node.js Ecosystem - Frameworks, Libraries and Best Practices.

Is Zack's "What's Next for the Market" Realistic? 0 commentsI just opened an e-mail from Zack's Research, which goes as follows:
"Dear Investor,
Sentiment on The Street has begun to turn positive as the stock market has enjoyed a sustained 7 day rally. Fears of a double dip recession are subsiding as companies report better than expected earnings this week.
The BP oil well has been capped, and durability testing is underway which proved to be a strong psychological hurdle for the market, and seems to have renewed hope that better times are ahead.
Update In BriefCorporate cash and equivalent assets as a percentage of total assets are at their highest level in decades. This is a vast improvement from 2008 when we had a highly leveraged corporate sector.As recovery in the market slowly continues, positive signs that the economy is also well on its way are beginning to firm up. Treasury rates have maintained their historic low levels for some time now, which of course begs the question of what the Federal Reserve's short term move may be, if anything."Through trading discipline, I have learned not to disagree with the Ichimoku weekly chart of the SP500, as the weekly chart has never abruptly done an about face within several weeks after a signal -- mostly due to the momentum of 500 stocks. Instead, the directionality of the markets signaled by Ichimoku became more extreme for a while. In light of this weekly-based signal, you might keep some "powder dry" for quite a while.
After reading this, I considered some recent issues surrounding the economy and markets, and therefore wondered how how realistic the report was. My recent evaluation indicates the following conditions:
1. Gold is approaching very overbought levels.
2. The daily SP500 volume is going down while price return is increasing.
3. The ratio of gold (GLD) to the SP500 price return suggests very little gain of the SP500 in terms of "real money" over the last decade.
4. Monthly unemployment is not dropping substantially.
5. Those unemployed have not found work for the last 1-2 years.
6. Taxation on dividends is increasing at the end of the year.
7. You can still purchase a new automobile with no down payment, 0% interest, and no payments for several years.
8. Health care reform is going to be very expensive to fund, and the component involving free care coverage will require new money (debt) to be printed.
9. A very large proportion of US states (~75-80%) have economies that are not better than Greece's economy.
10. Basically, Gov't spending is "on steroids" at a time when it should be frugal.
Interestingly, by way of technical analysis, the Ichimoku chart (below) of the weekly SP500 showed a weak sell signal on 7/2. The last time this happened was the week ending 9/21/2007 -- almost 3 years ago!

Barney has turned into a better player than I ever thought he would be, actually. And Castro - I think his improving defense (I remember a really low UZR last year) may be impacting his hitting a bit from the standpoint of focus, but for all I know that theory is baloney. I doubt Castro really projects much higher than a .800 something OPS /15 homer guy, but that isn't too bad.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Jed rushed Castro into the bigs. Shoulda been seasoned one more year at Tacoma.
/ : 0
Re: Castro vs. Barney
While I like Barney, I really hope people aren't starting to pass judgement on a 22 year old player who's shown clear indication he works to get better (defense).
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Definitely. It's really hard to know how far Castro can go still. I think it's to be expected that he hits a bit of a bump. Hitting at that level is just such a hard thing to do and he started off like he had figured it out really early. But he's struggled some this year. That's okay, so did Josh Hamilton for a really long stretch.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Yeah. Let's not all jump on top of Castro during a slump. My biggest concern about his numbers this year is that his BB% is down instead of up. He'll be the Cub's number 2 hitter in his prime.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I am jumping on him, godamn it!
Its b/c of him we are not making the Playoffs this year!!

Lame ass comment. You know damn well who to blame.
I blame Michael Barrett.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I'm not a regular poster here, but it cracks me up to see how many folks around these parts are on the bash a 22-year old wagon. The kid hasn't even filled out yet...
I see Castro sliding to 2B and making more of a Brandon Phillips comparison. In 2003, Phillips played 112 games at 22 yrs with a .981 FLD%... was out of the Bigs until 2006 when he posted a .977 with the Reds at 26 yrs, after the tribe gave up on him. Since '06 Phillips has averaged a 3.48 WAR. I'm not saying Castro is going to develop into a GG caliber SS/2B, but offensively he has a very similar in body type as phillips and an average projection of .300-22-85-20 would make him a pretty damn valuable 2B going forward, especially if Baez stays at SS.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
While I have been on the Barney bandwagon (which has broken down on LaHair, apparently) since I saw him in the CWS, he seems to be a #8 batter. He is better than Theriot with more range, and unless HoyStein gets something in a package for real value, it seems like he is the kind of player Jed likes up the middle to save runs.
It is a great thing to have. As Goldstein says, "He's a baseball player who will play in the Big Leagues for ten years and deservedly so."
Re: Castro vs. Barney
It's important to remember context when you quote as well. Goldstein said that while he isn't really a starter but more of a backup.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
some Muskat tweet tidbits:
today is Rizzo's 23rd birthday
cub record thru 108 games is 2011 and 2012 is identical: 43-65
lineup... Jakkkkson sits, Soriano returns: DeJesus, Barney, Rizzo, Soriano, Castro, Castillo, Vitters, Mather (RF), Samardzija
Re: Castro vs. Barney
My problem with Barney is that on a really good team you can aford to have a good field no hit 2B. However, on a crappy team you can't afford that luxury. Is it worth keeping him 2 - 3 years until we become good? My vote is no, get something for him while you still can. If he could only draw walks and get his ob% to .340 - .350 or so, he would be worth keeping.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I see this sentiment on Barney a lot from posters and talk shows all over, and I get it. Where it stops for me is -- Barney for who? Is the return worth 1 to 3 WAR value more than Barney? Would the Cubs be just trading a so-so MLB player for someone else's so-so player?
That's my take whenever the subject of trading Barney or Castro for Upton or, for that matter, almost any trade (except veterans/big contracts for prospects) at this point in TheJedi's 'rebuilding' project.
Fundamentally, I'd like to see Ricketts spend $60-70M on FA's this off-season for no other reason than he probably can. Perversely, I'd like to see him have to decide - better team? or better ballpark? However, what do the Cubs get back? More Crawfords, Lackeys, and Soriano's? Or worse than that - 4 to 5 year deals that when the 'waves' of MLB-ready prospects arrive, there's 4 to 5 pieces of dead weight soaking up $60M in payroll where $500K prospects could produce better.
I love adding FA's, but who? For how long? Playing where? Blocking who in 3 years?
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Welcome to Miami!
Re: Castro vs. Barney
This is my point. Why not have the best defensive 2B in the middle of our infield for a few years? As GA states, realistically, unless it is some kind of a nice package of players, who do you get back for Barney that makes it worthwhile?
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Actually, on a crappy team, you CAN afford it. My feeling is that for a guy like Barney, most teams are content to wait for players like him to become available for dirt cheap.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Fontenaught is available. We need more
Re: Castro vs. Barney
shame he can't field 2nd/3rd worth a damn...his bat is decently bench-quality...but hell, you can get a washed up 1st/OF to outperform that kinda performance without the D.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
people can still use UZR while keeping a straight face?
also, d.barney is nearing 100 games without an error.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I actually don't even really have the foggiest understanding of UZR. It reminds me a bit of QB ratings in football, which does have this empirical formula that I don't give a shit about in the slightest.
In Castro's case, it just so happens that his UZR sucked and now it doesn't, and my eyes also tell me that he has improved in the field.

Re: Castro vs. Barney
dejesus is working hard to make the cubs pay him $1.5m to go away next season rather than paying the full $6.5m to keep him around.
i wouldn't complain seeing him next year if he at least picks up the hitting/ob% part of his game.
he's not fallen sharply yet, but his minimal power hasn't reappeared and he's in a cruddy 2nd half slump so far...

CRUNCH: DeJesus signed a three-year $15M contract ($10M guaranteed) last off-season where he gets $4.25M (guaranteed) per season 2012-13 plus a third year club option ($6.5M or $1.5M buy-out) for 2014.
So unless he gets traded in the meantime, DeJesus will almost certainly be back in a Cub uniform in 2013.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
forgot we were working with a 2/3, not a 1/2...i still think it's a good gamble, though i'd like to see more of the 30-double/10-homer guy he's shown himself to be in the past.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Umpire Bill Miller took a pitch directly to the mask on a fastball where the catcher was crossed up in the bottom of the first inning in Oakland. Later on, twice during the game he rang up a batter on strike two. During the bottom of the sixth, the second base umpire left the game, then came back suited up with the home plate equipment. When the second base umpire came back out with two outs, Miller handed him his baseballs without a word and left. I watched the bottom of the sixth on mlb tv archive, and it looked like the switchover was something the umpires discussed beforehand.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Did the home ump go to second?
If he left the game it might be a mild concussion. A fastball upside the head, or on the chin can surely cause one.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
He left the game. The ball missed the catcher's glove and hit him at the bottom of the mask.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Re: Castro vs. Barney
excerpt from Kevin Goldstein on the Brett Jackkkkson call up:
If Jackson can close some of the massive holes in his swing, he's a true five-tool player. He has above-average raw power and speed, and the ability to post a string of 20/20 seasons. That gives him excellent long-term potential. However, the "ifs" regarding his swing are gigantic ones. He has a good understanding of the strike zone and is not prone to chasing, but he's not a sound hitter. There isn't an obvious flaw in his swing, or a tendency to chase sliders or something like that, he's just not that good of a hitter. The hope is that he can display enough power, speed and defense to make up for a low batting average.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Interesting thing about Jackson is that the sky is the limit. Well, not a Troutish sky, maybe, but it's high. Problem is that the opposite is also true. He could be a permanent member of the Mendoza club.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I'm getting my first looks at Jackson. Maybe Goldstein has seen him a lot, or maybe he is just improvising. But the Jackson I'm seeing is very "prone to chasing." I don't see much difference between Jackson right now and Colvin last year. On two strikes, they start hacking and don't stop till it's strike three.
Sveum said this yesterday: "We're learning a lot about him, and it's basically come down to swinging out of the strike zone. It's not like he's swinging through anything."
That's the opposite of what Goldstein is saying. A "massive hole" means you swing through pitches.
I don't want to get into name-calling, but if you can't figure out that pitchers at this level don't throw strikes if you don't force them to, then you didn't get into Berkeley on your SAT scores.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Jackson has always maintained a high ML On Base %.
Colvin didn't even walk in College.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Reports on Jackson in the minors have always been that he has a good command of the strike zone but that he swings through strikes a lot. Maybe Sveum has seen the opposite, but let's trust the larger sample size for now. And maybe Jackson is going through a phase (during his first MLB callup) where is chasing--doesn't mean that's what caused his K rate in his minor league career.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
"Reports on Jackson in the minors have always been that he has a good command of the strike zone etc."
Professional scouts who write such reports--and also turn in hotel and fast-food receipts--do not file their reports on the internet. We may not have seen reliable reports on Jackson. Sveum has said a few times that he wanted to see the strikeout machine with his own eyes, because the numbers didn't make sense.
Sveum has pointed out that even in games where Jackson got a few extra-base hits, the outs would all be strikeouts.
It's odd for a player to either hit the ball hard or miss it completely. What happened to the popups and the easy grounders to second and short? The data sample, small though it is, shows Jackson "protecting the plate" or whatever it's called when you swing at everything on two strikes. That approach becomes untenable in the majors and also the high minors, where pitchers have learned how to make hitters look foolish.
As for Dr. Aaron's point about Jackson's career OBP versus Colvin's: that's a very good question and I don't have an immediate answer, but I suppose it would be possible to be a very patient hitter until you have two strikes, at which point you go into the panic mode that produces the large number of strikeouts. If the count goes to 3-1, then 3-2, maybe you don't panic, because you can smell a walk. You might get a lot of walks without actually working the count.
To me, working the count means getting from 0-2 or 1-2 to 3-2.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I think Brant Brown might end up being a good comp to Bjax. It's something I've largely thought all year.
Big kid with some speed and power. Can play CF. Tons of swing and miss in their games.
Brant was able to have a couple of good MLB years. He brought us a great pitcher in trade. Ultimately a bit of a letdown.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
"Tons of swing and miss"
But did Brown have any swing-and-hit? Look at his age-23 and 24 seasons--in AA, for Pete's sake. 5 or 6 home runs, .390 SLG. Jackson: 20 HRs last year, 10 of them in AAA; 15 homers this year. Career SLG: .488.
Sometimes I feel sympathy for Cub fans who grew up in the Gary Scott era. In retrospect, I was pretty lucky in the '60s.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
1987 was my first really coherent season as a fan.

Re: Castro vs. Barney
'87 was the middle of a long dormant period for me--far from Chicago, WGN cable not locally available, etc. Woke up briefly in '98 for Soto-McGuire, then for good about the time Dusty arrived.
Without looking it up, can't place Scott or Brown accurately in the 80's-90's.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Brant Brown came on the scene during the 98 season. He played a serviceable CF and flashed some power, and hit 290-ish. Looked like he might be a player.
We dealt him that offseason for Jon Lieber.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
I thought he played LF? Isn't that where he dropped the famous milwaukee non-clinch flyball?
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Perhaps can't place Soto in 90's-00's?
Got to love autocorrect.
Re: Castro vs. Barney
Hey man, you can trust years of scouting or you can trust the few days of observation from the guy who's successfully leading the Cubs to a record just under .400. I'll trust the major league manager; it's what my gut tells me.

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

So I'm sitting in the "Desperate Housewives" panel a the TCA press tour and it struck me that not only have I not been watching "Desperate Housewives" for years, but I don't remember I heard ANY buzz about the show at all. My Twitter feed spoils an unimaginable number of TV shows on a regular basis, but I could probably watch the DVDs for the past four seasons of "Desperate Housewives" and NONE of it would have been spoiled for me already.
Is anybody out there still watching?

Prior to the Internet, the primary way that people would market their businesses was through traditional advertising. Local businesses would take out ads in the classifieds, and even send out direct mailers, which people would take advantage of, especially if there was a discount coupon offered. Today, email marketing has somewhat surpassed the use of traditional advertising by using different platforms such as Google and Facebook. People will find websites where they can get special discounts, subscribe to the newsletter to obtain this, thereby allowing the company to email them using specific email marketing strategies.
How Does This Work For Carpet Cleaning Businesses?
This tends to work with carpet cleaning businesses very well simply because they are marketing by simply offering discounts on the services that will be rendered. They might offer a brand-new customer 30% off for a cleaning, and many people will take them up on that offer. This type of discount is what will motivate people to subscribe to their newsletter, subsequently allowing companies to send them occasional emails with special offers that are available. It is also possible to work with a lead generation company that can do this type of work on autopilot, one of the top carpet cleaning email marketing strategies that is used today.
How To Get The Most Traffic Through Email Marketing
These carpet cleaning businesses can really use email marketing to their advantage by offering discounts on many different services. One of the emails may offer carpet cleaning, whereas the other will focus on upholstery, allowing them to offer different things at different times throughout the month. This is how the most successful carpet cleaning email marketing campaigns are done, and are considered to be those that are top rated above all of the rest. By diversifying your emails to potential customers, or even existing ones, can become very successful using these strategies.

Investment and the nominal interest rate: the variable velocity case
Models treating money either as a consumer good or as a producer good are encompassed by a model in which both households and firms use money as a buffer between receipts and expenditures. A rise in nominal interest rates increases resources devoted to intermediation, while discouraging purchases financed from accumulated cash. If investment is financed from contemporaneous earnings, there is a tendency to substitute out of consumption and into investment when interest rates are high. Greater resources devoted to intermediation generate a negative wealth effect. The net impact on investment is ambiguous. Copyright 1989 by Oxford University Press.

Thanks to one of the best recruiting weekends in decades for the Irish, Brian Kelly is well on his way to a top-ten recruiting class. Grabbing four commitments in a matter of 48 hours, Kelly has more than made his mark so far during his short time on the recruiting trail representing the blue and gold.
The current class consists of 16 very solid verbals. From the get go, the desired number for this class was in the range of 18 to 21 players. With the news of Spencer Boyd's transfer to South Florida and Chris Badger taking his two year Mormon mission, there might be some wiggle room for now. It appears as if Kelly will have room to take on three to five more commitments to add to this already solid class. From various quotes and reports, this class seems extremely well-bonded together, something that is vital in order to minimize the amount of late recommitments that can ruin a class altogether.
This is huge for the Irish, as the last stretch of the recruiting cycle has been their weak point, save a signing day commitment from all-world Hawaiian, Manti Te'o.
From here on out, expect Kelly and his staff to be extremely selective. Last time around, the Weis/Kelly recruiting year didn't have such a luxury as they received their 16th verbal in December, only two months before signing day. With the selective approach will come a few more blue-chip players, and ideally, difference makers on both sides of the football.

Caps Laich Out For Third Straight Game
Brooks Laich?s wonky groin will keep him out for a third consecutive game on Tuesday when Washington hosts Carolina at Verizon ? but his absence might not be as negative as first thought.

?I keep reinforcing that there?s only a certain way to play,? Oates told the Washington Post.??You?ve got to give yourself those chances because it?s an 82-game schedule. A lot of different things can happen. We?re seeing that on a night-to-night basis. They all know that. They?ve just got to be reminded of that.?
