OAKLAND, Calif. -- In one whirlwind stretch of less than 24 hours, Billy Beane pulled off a trio of trades with three different clubs -- and the Oakland general manager believes his bullpen will be all the better for it heading into 2014.
First, the Athletics acquired AL saves leader Jim Johnson from Baltimore late Monday as the replacement for All-Star closer Grant Balfour. Then on Tuesday, the two-time defending AL West champions traded for San Diego right-handed reliever Luke Gregerson in a swap that sent outfielder Seth Smith to the Padres.
That move became a viable option after outfielder Craig Gentry was acquired from Texas earlier with outfielder Michael Choice going to the division rival Rangers.
Oakland also is waiting on lefty Scott Kazmir's physical to finalize a $22 million, two-year contract.

My first flash game.
Move the mouse to control the ball. The further away the mouse, the faster the ball travels.
*NOTE* - Controls take awhile to get used to
Congratulations to Haloya for being the first to beat the game, and MM (aka maple mario) for being the second.
Thanks for all the reviews
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 10, 2008
your first game?
well that is REALLY good! Considering most peoples first games are mouse avoiders or quiz games. The controls are a bit hard- maybee change the movement to arrow keys. Other than that I cant find anything wrong with it.
That would make the game far to easy :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 10, 2008
Great kick off!
Man, great flash for being your first. Almost no glitches, fun to play, nice physics, and increasing difficulty to the point where you have to try at least a dozen times to get the level.
Now for the downs: try to enhance the graphics. The black & white theme is cool, but some textures would look great. Plus, it would be better to add bigger levels but not so difficult, that way you can get the best of it and people wouldn't quit that fast. Altogether a neat first game!
Thanks, and as I said in the review above.
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 10, 2008
Not Bad!
You seemed to have a pretty good grasp on what you wanted from the game. It was fairly addictive and fun. The only things it was missing were awesome amazing graphics, and some music. Other than that, great job on your first game!
Thanks for the review, in my next game I'll make sure to spend more time on the graphics and sound.
Rated 4 / 5 stars June 1, 2009
Worth trying
An okay game but not for those with shaky hands. Very fun an addictive.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 10, 2008
I like the idea..
The ball however.. should have a maxspeed..
A load function would be nice too..
If you had reached the later levels, you would have needed the faster speeds.

Starting kindergarten is one of the biggest milestones in a child's life.
You want your child to be socially, academically and physically prepared to start "big-kids" school.
Today's World-Herald featured a story on how families and school districts are adjusting to the state's new eligibility date for kindergarten enrollment.
The Nebraska Legislature in 2010 changed the date when kids were eligible to attend kindergarten from Oct. 15 to July 31, effective this fall. That means kids who turn 5 in August, September and early October this year will have to wait another year to start kindergarten in the public schools.
That's unless kids who now find themselves past the cut off can test into kindergarten.
The intent of the change was to shrink the gap in ages — and, potentially, abilities — among the state's kindergarten students.

Recent reviews:
August 12, 2013 - Waste of money there far to small and can't see how you can take hot casserole dishes out the oven with this, I rate it 1* for looking good.
December 4, 2012 - Loved it! Great weight too.
September 2, 2012 - I have both the hen and the dog silicone oven mitts, and the dog is much flimsier than the hen is. I don't have the monkey so I can't comment on its thickness. I used the hen mitt once to get something out of the oven and don't recall it feeling too thin to protect me from the heat, but I was afraid of my hand or arm getting burned (I'm a klutz) due to the fact that these mitts only cover your fingers up to the first knuckle on your hand. This is just how these red silicone oven mitts are designed, and they are for adult hands. A smaller hand would not get more coverage because the mitt bends where the hand bends, regardless. If anything, it might even be more difficult for a child to use due to the extra space that would be in the tips of the beak, in this case. Added note: I've now used this mitt twice for picking up a pot of boiling water by the wire-type handle across the top, and it worked great for that.
July 5, 2012 - Cute mitt, great for a hand puppet. it's a bit short on an adult's hand. Gave to my brother as a gift so I'm not sure how well it actually works for practical purposes. Another buyer's review of the monkey (which I also gave to my brother) says it's a bit thin for high heat use. Use with caution until you know what it can safely handle.

2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
6 Recalls & Safety Reports
Recall List for the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Official recall notices have been issued for the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo by the NHTSA. The complete details of all recalls are listed below, along with what they cover and the recommended solutions.

Summary: General Motors is recalling 1,497,516 MY 1997-2003 Buick regal, MY 1998-2003 Chevrolet lumina, Monte Carlo and Impala, MY 1998-1999 Oldsmobile intrigue, MY 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles equipped with a 3.8L V6 naturally aspirated engine. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold through hard braking.
Consequence: If the manifold is hot enough and the oil runs below the heat shield, it may ignite into a small flame and may spread to the plastic spark plug wire channel and beyond increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.
Actions: Dealers will remove the spark plug wire retention channel at the front of engine and install two new spark plug wire retainers free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 or www.Pontiac.com or http:www.gmownercenter.com. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #09V116000 »

2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES NHTSA Campaign #07E021000
Summary: Certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, P/nos. FP10020-11B1, FP10026-11B1, and FP10027-11B1, sold after January 9, 2007, as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles listed above. The universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an O'ring and retainer.
Consequence: Fuel may leak, possibly resulting in a fire.
Actions: Delphi will notify owners and replace the upr free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2007. Owners can contact delphi at 877-411-8770. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #07E021000 »
2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY NHTSA Campaign #04V090000
Summary: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 V6 (L36) engines and certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. A leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. If the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire.
Consequence: The backfire can rupture the intake manifold. The rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
Actions: Dealers will install new fuel pressure regulators with improved diaphragms. The recall will be conducted in phased mailings. Phase 1 began on June 30, 2004, and phase 2 began on September 30, 2004. Owners should contact Buick at 1-866-608-8080, Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SEAT BELTS NHTSA Campaign #00V228003
Summary: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and mini vans equipped with TRW seat belt buckle assemblies. The buckle base of these seat belt assemblies were not properly heat treated and therefore do not pass the load bearing requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Consequence: In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.
Actions: Dealers will inspect the vehicle's safety belt buckle assembly date codes and, if necessary, will replace any safety belt buckle assembly. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #00V228003 »

Leeds anxious as GFH Capital fail to pay on time
By Charles Sale
Doubts about the proposed takeover of Leeds United by Bahrain-based bank Gulf Finance House Capital — due to be completed four days before Christmas — will grow after a scheduled payment date was missed.
The Middle East investors, whose fit-and-proper-persons test by the Football League for club owners and directors is 'ongoing', failed to transfer a tranche of money to Leeds last week.
Up for grabs: But who will own Elland Road later this month?
This will only add to supporters' concern about the lack of transparency concerning the purchase of the 49 per cent shareholding of 81-year-old owner Ken Bates, who is due to stay on as chairman until the end of the season before becoming club president.
However, Leeds are still confident that the reported £52million sale will be finalised on December 21 without any more hiccups. It is understood they have been reassured by GFH Capital that the money is in their lawyer's client account and Bahrain banking regulations meant the payment schedule had to be altered.

Tough start for C4
A festive atmosphere might be lacking
today at Corrigan's restaurant in London's Mayfair where Channel 4,
whose monopoly coverage of racing on terrestrial TV begins on January 1,
will outline their broadcasting vision to a sceptical racing Press.
C4's plans to ensure they always get the first interviews after races in front of their branded backdrop includes ending racing's traditional media huddle around winning connections.
Lewis branches out
Tottenham's billionaire owner Joe Lewis has become an influential figure in the racing world after taking control of Timeweave, who own 50 per cent of betting shop broadcasters Turf TV. Bahamas-based Lewis has yet to attend a Spurs game this season and his investment in Timeweave is for business reasons rather than any great love of racing.
The start of the transfer window is not the best time to take over as a football club chief executive. But at least Sam Rush, who joins Derby on January 1, has the advantage of being an agent in his previous job, running Wasserman Media Group's football division. Derby have one of the Championship's hottest properties in central midfielder Will Hughes, 17, but Rush says he will not be leaving Pride Park.
Yet to attend a game this season: Joe Lewis (left) chats with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy
It's gong for a Burton
The last thing the sports industry needs is another awards ceremony, with the big stars increasingly reluctant to turn up to such functions. But at least the FA have ensured that the national team will attend their inaugural FA England awards.
The bash, with its overblown 11 honours for 2012, is being held on February 3 at St George's Park — the day the players gather in Burton to prepare for the Wembley friendly against Brazil three days later.
The sports honours committee, due to decide their recommendations for 2012 gongs at one sitting, ended up having two separate summits, with one dedicated to discussing Olympic and Paralympic achievements. This points to every gold medal winner — at least — being recognised in the New Year Honours list.
Destiny is in Boris' hands
The buck over the Olympic Stadium renovation debacle now stops with Boris Johnson, chairman of the London Legacy Development Corporation, after the Government ceded full control to the London Mayor.
The construction delay until autumn 2013 could be highly embarrassing for the LLDC since preferred bidders West Ham may now not move in until the 2016-17 season, whereas Tottenham, who had wanted to knock down the Stratford venue and start again, could move into their redeveloped ground a year earlier.
There could be fireworks: What does the immediate future hold for the uninhabited Olympic Stadium?
Meanwhile, since taking over as Culture Secretary in September, Maria Miller has had so much in her in-tray that she is happy to allow Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson to take the lead in his field of expertise.
This is in contrast to the toxic relationship that existed between Robertson and Miller's predecessor, Jeremy Hunt. Miller is not known for her sporting knowledge but did work on England's one-day cricket sponsorship when a marketing manager at Texaco four years ago.

I have always liked Courtyard hotels, they always surprise me with their room structures and rates, and especially how friendly their service is. I will definitely suggest to my friends about Courtyard on their future travels.The courtyard, balcony, and pool
Very nice hotel. Loved that all the rooms had a balcony/patio facing the courtyard. We enjoyed the stay!Very convenient to where I needed to be, a reasonable rate, and a clean room.
Towels were a little thing, and I had a hard time adjusting the thermostat on the air conditioner
Nice accommodations...Updated Courtyard MarriottPrice

Excellent location near IAD, lots of food around, great staff.Lobby area that you want to hang out in, hotel layout, pool and fitness room.
Close to Dulles Toll Road (Route 267) - Northern Virginia Fairfax County which stretches 14-mile road stretching from the Capital Beltway west to Dulles International Airport. Got tired of paying the toll virtually everywhere I went.
The room is beautiful but the King size suite, which has a king size bed and a sofa bed, is smaller than expected. Once the sofa bed is open, there's just a little space between the bed and open sofa. Bed was welcoming and pillows were full and soft. I appreciate the environmental-friendly policy of choosing whether or not I needed new towels. However, the Do not Disturb sign also says that you don't need service. Air conditioning worked great.

L-R: Drake's, Etro, Zegna, Gucci. I don't know about the Gucci. The tie keeper was coming off and there is no content tag. Is this vintage Gucci or a fake? I'm not into more than .25, so it won't be heartbreaking if it's fake.

A bunch of wool ties. I found piles of them on the cheap, so I just grabbed a bunch. I particularly like the one on the far right in the first photo. Various makers, mostly Austrian and Scottish.

Pockets of the suit are basted shut.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
The following is a short recap of the day with pictures. I spoilered it in case you're not interested. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
As I mentioned before, it would have been pointless to try to drive and find a parking spot at each of the places, so I took a train and used public transportation/walked within the city to each of the places. Train left at 6:25, so I arrived around 9:00am in Vienna. I had warm weather and was actually sweating under my jacket.
First store I hit, I met an older woman that was a volunteer. Incredibly nice and she was handing me things to take. Everything was on sale for €1 and she told me that I have to come back next time I was in Vienna. I really think that they deal with so many impolite people that they were willing to throw discounts just for being polite and making conversation.
I left quite a few things that I would have loved to have picked up if it weren't for the price. A number of Dunn hats and overcoats and this:
A beautiful, vintage, handmade SILK velvet smoking jacket with giant pearl buttons. Fit me well, but they knew what they had and was therefore expensive.
I think an Italian shop must have closed and everything was donated. I saw PILES of nice Italian clothes that were from the 1950s, all NOS. It included a number of robes as well. I was trying to get the basics from the Italian-only tags. I need to brush up on my Italian vocab
This suit was another pass. It was a bit pricey, but I was excited to see the Attolini label. On second glance, I saw it wasn't the familiar C Attolini, but rather V Attolini. Super 150s, but it was too expensive and I knew it wasn't exactly Cesar. Later found out it's a well-made knockoff.
An interesting store that I didn't have time to visit. It looked like they had furniture and books inside, but the sign was what caught my attention...
Quick street shots when I remembered that I should take a few photos. The sticks against the buildings warn you of snow/ice that is melting and falling. We use these and flags as warnings.
I had lunch at a Viennese Gasthaus. It was great food and nearly empty. I had homemade potato pancakes covered in pork gulasch.
Quick shots from the tram of Parliament.
This was my last stop of the day, 20 minutes before they closed. I try to get to this place every time I go to Vienna. The clothes are expensive, but it's a guarantee to find some decent names. Not flipping prices, but great if it's for personal use. The best part, though, is that they have a couple of giant warehouses of furniture, electronics, home goods, etc. I love going to look through it. I didn't have time to get through any of it this round, unfortunately.
I try to make it to Vienna every couple of months, but I think I'm going to try to do this once a month, time permitting. If anyone is ever interested in thrifting in Vienna, please send me a PM!

Graduates' job prospects depend on where they went to university... and Oxbridge students don't do as well as you'd think
- Study into how many graduates were in jobs six months after graduating
- Every ex-pupil of Royal Academy of Music was in work
- Derby and Northampton performed better than Oxford and Cambridge
By Sarah Harris
A fifth of students are unemployed six months after graduating from some British universities, figures show.
Amid stiff competition for graduate jobs, they fail to get work despite studying for three years and building up debts.
The chances of landing a job vary considerably between institutions. Fourteen universities have unemployment rates above 15 per cent.
Prospects: Where graduates study has a big impact on their chances of finding a job
Some students are around ten times more likely to be left unemployed than those graduating from other mainstream degree courses.
At London South Bank University, 22.6 per cent of students were not working or embarking on further study six months after graduating last summer, figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show.
The unemployment rate stood at 20.6 per cent at the University of East London and 18.9 per cent at the University of Bolton. The national average was 9.2 per cent.
The agency's figures will be particularly alarming for undergraduates who started degree courses last September when tuition fees were tripled to up to £9,000 a year. Some could leave with debts of around £30,000.
The best performing mainstream university was Robert Gordon in Aberdeen where only 2.3 per cent of students were out of work.
Among the prestigious Russell Group
of universities – considered to be some of the best in the country – all
but one had an unemployment rate below 10 per cent.
Top of the class: Every student to leave the Royal Academy of Music, London found work, the survey found
It was 12.5 per cent at Queen Mary, University of London.
Graduates from some of the institutions with the lowest unemployment rates are so successful because they have been on niche courses that aim to give them the training to shoehorn them into their vocations.
All 25 graduates from the Royal Academy of Music in Central London were employed or studying after finishing their course last year, along with 98.9 per cent at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in South-East London.
The figures also showed that students
from Northampton and Derby universities were more likely to be in work
than Oxbridge graduates.
Only 92 per cent of graduates who were at Oxford had a job six months after finishing their studies
Northampton had an unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent, while Derby's was 3.9 per cent.
Oxford's was 8 per cent and Cambridge's 5.1 per cent.
The majority of the 163 UK institutions surveyed by the statistics agency saw between 90 and 95 per cent of students in work or study six months after graduating, while at 18 universities more than 95 per cent of students were in this category.
Other data released by the agency last week found that the number of graduates taking menial jobs such as shelf stackers, rubbish collectors and cleaners has almost doubled over the past six years.
Six months after graduating last year, 9,695 – 6 per cent of those finding employment – had taken up posts that did not require degrees.

Looking relaxed after his acquittal in the case, Prahlad Gosa, a former BJP MLA from Visnagar, said he was satisfied that the court had not upheld the murder and conspiracy charge.
"Since the beginning, we were saying that none of these 11 persons were killed. We think they have not died at all. They have been shifted somewhere clandestinely and we have been facing this ordeal for more than 10 years," Gosa said.
Gosa also said the life imprisonment awarded to 10 accused for attempt to murder and arson was too harsh a sentence. "I have never heard somebody getting life imprisonment for such charges ever. This is a bit too harsh on the convicts and I am very sad about that."
Gosa faced charges of instigating the mob to attack the entire mohalla of Chudi Vas when it was setting a house of a Muslim on fire on February 28, 2002.

Welcome to HMNAO's Moon Watch web site.
Have you ever wondered at what stage you can see the new crescent moon?
No new moons occur during February 2014. The next new moon will occur on March 1st followed by a second new Moon on March 30th.
A telescopically-assisted sighting of the new crescent moon may be possible from eastern Canada on March 1st. A sighting with the naked eye may be possible the same day from western parts of Canada and the United States. An easier sighting may be possible from the northern Pacific Ocean region including the Hawaiian Islands on March 1st. Easier sightings of the new crescent moon should be possible from most of the world on March 2nd with the exception of Oceania and possibly the southern tips of Africa and South America. These exceptions should see the crescent moon the following day, March 3rd. Consequently, we would like to encourage as many observers as possible to try and observe the new crescent moon in the period March 1st to March 3rd.
Please note:
If you have subscribed to our e-mail warning of the date of the new moon and failed to receive any warning, particularly since November 2009, could you please let
know. A separate computer problem occurred affecting the dispatch of e-mail warnings for May 2012 and June 2012 for which we apologise.
If you go out just after sunset over the three or four days following the instant of new moon and have a look low in the western half of the sky near where the Sun set, you can try and observe the new crescent moon.
You can make the observation with just your eyes or with binoculars or a telescope.
look at the Sun directly or through binoculars or a telescope as you will damage your eyesight. If you are going to use binoculars or a telescope to find the new crescent moon, you must make sure the Sun has set.
The crescent moon will be faint shortly after new moon but will brighten from night to night as the crescent thickens. Cloud or aircraft vapour trails can easily be mistaken for the Moon so be careful when making the observation.
Scan the western horizon close to where the Sun set. If you can see the Moon, let us know by entering your observation and location in our report form. We need to know the date and time of your observation, what the crescent looked like, where it was in the sky relative to the position on the horizon where the Sun set and something about the weather conditions and you, the observer. Even if the weather is clear and you cannot see the Moon, let us know. A negative observation will also help us!
Come back to this site later in the month and you can find out what you should have seen from your observing site. You can also sign up for an e-mail reminder of the date and time of the next new moon so you can try your observing skills again.
Over time, we will process your observations and try to improve the models we use to predict the first sighting of the new crescent moon. Currently, these predictions produce a classification for a particular date and location ranging from A (crescent easily visible) through to F (crescent impossible to see).
For those groups who use the first sighting of the new crescent moon in their calendars, these predictions are very significant and mark the beginning and end of periods of fasting and festivals.
More information
on these predictions is available on this site.
This site allows observers to look at the global visibility of the
next new moon
, to check their observations of the
last new moon
, to
their observations and to
receive/stop e-mail reminders
of the next new moon.
will also be reported on the site when they become available.
Further information on the visibility of the new crescent moon for a specific location can be found on our
site by selecting the
option from the menu.
What we want you to do
Go out each evening following the day of the new moon.
Find a westerly facing spot with a clear view of the horizon.
Wait for the Sun to set, then look for the crescent moon in that part of the sky.
look directly at the Sun, using your naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
Can you see the crescent moon? Are you sure? Is it a cloud or a vapour trail?
Make a note of where you were, the date and time of your observation, the weather conditions and whether you saw the Moon or not.
Come to this website and
your observation.
Try and observe the crescent moon each night until you see it, reporting each observation attempt.
Sign up
for an e-mail reminder of the next new moon and come back next month and try the same thing again.

Give Homeless LGBT Youth a 'Shred of Hope'
BY Advocate.com Editors
June 20 2013 6:00 AM ET
"Every day I work hard to fulfill the promise I made to the young people in all 50 states — that they will soon enjoy full federal equality. But I know that until we reach that bright tomorrow, we must support programs like Ali Forney, to catch the young people who are suffering from intolerance, bullying and discrimination today. As Harvey Milk said, 'We gotta give 'em 'Hope.'"
Dustin Lance Black is a screenwriter, producer, director, and social activist, who won an Academy Award and two WGA Awards for best original screenplay for Milk, the biopic of the late civil rights activist Harvey Milk, starring Sean Penn. He is also a founding member of the board of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which is leading the federal case against California's Proposition 8 with lawyers David Boies and Ted Olson.
In 2012, Black merged his passions with 8, a new play based on the federal Prop. 8 trial. Black's L.A. cast included George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Kevin Bacon, and John C. Reilly. The play was broadcast live and continues to break viewership records online. Hundreds of original productions are now scheduled across the United States.
