GNOME, Its State and Future
The GNOME Project is aimed at making UNIX attractive and easy to use. To help achieve the goals of the GNU project, we want to make sure that users are presented with a full suite of applications, as well as a desktop that enables them to manage their computers effectively. The GNOME team has been focusing on creating a reusable infrastructure of development libraries and tools, along with productivity applications based on this infrastructure.
The goals of the GNOME Project can be divided into three areas:
a full-featured desktop environment
a set of interoperable applications with a consistent, easy-to-use interface
a powerful application development framework
The desktop environment is not the set of applications, such as a web browser or a spreadsheet, with which a user interacts with the system to do useful tasks; rather, it is the utilities which provide the user with control over the working environment. As the most immediately apparent part of GNOME, the desktop environment includes the file manager, panel and help browser, as well as other utilities necessary for the day-to-day maintenance of one's computing environment.
The GNOME session begins with the GNOME Display Manager which grants access to the system. The beauty of this process is that the author of GDM rewrote the whole login sequence to be secure and extensible. The GDM code base is designed to be robust and secure.
From there, the GNOME panel and the GNOME file manager provide the desktop functionality to let users launch applications and manage their information see Figure 1).
The GNOME desktop was the first desktop to include application themes. Application themes are a way to make applications look different. People can choose to make their desktop look like other popular systems, or tune it to suit their needs and personal interface desire. The next major release of GNOME will include a new, updated and better integrated theme mechanism, and also theme packages that will affect the entire desktop, not just the applications.
We also integrate the GNOME personal information management system (calendar, address book, task list) with the Palm Pilot, and more systems can be plugged into the system. To learn more about this feature, visit http://www.gnome.org/gnome-pilot/.
Just being able to choose a screen saver, organize icons, browse application menus and move files doesn't mean you are a productive member of society. What users want is a set of applications to help them accomplish actual work. This is where the GNOME Workshop project comes in. Many applications not done by the core GNOME team are available, but would be much more useful if they were integrated with each other and the desktop. The GNOME Workshop project wants to make a set of highly integrated applications to do what you need, whether it is managing finances, writing letters or editing a picture. Components of GNOME Workshop that have already reached a functional state include a highly capable spreadsheet (Gnumeric), a word-processing application (AbiWord), and an image-editing application (the famous GIMP). Other component applications are coming along quickly, and news of their releases will be listed on the GNOME Workshop home page.
Another important part of GNOME is the development environment. UNIX has not had a history of applications with a consistent and powerful graphical interface. The few graphical applications that existed all behaved and looked a little differently, usually did not have a powerful interface, and were not easy for their developers to write. GNOME addresses this last need by simplifying the development of applications, allowing the creation of easy-to-use and powerful graphical interfaces.
GNOME provides a high-level application framework which frees the programmer from having to worry about the low-level details of graphical application interfaces, allowing him to concentrate on the actual application. Glade, a tool for user-interface design used by many GNOME applications, takes this concept a step further by allowing graphical creation of a program's user interface. The Libglade library allows user interfaces to be created at runtime from the XML interface description files saved by Glade. GNOME also recognizes that not every programming language is useful for every kind of job. We paid special attention to making the GNOME APIs easy to wrap and export to other programming languages, to let people develop their GNOME-based applications in their language of choice.
In addition to C, which the core GNOME libraries are written in, there are bindings for many languages, including C++, Objective C, Guile, Python, Perl, Ada95, Tom, Pascal, Haskell and others. Java bindings are in development; when coupled with gcc's ability to compile Java code, Java may become a viable alternative for GNOME programming.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

MARFU, Suggitt's Youngsters Win at All Stars |
Sevens - All-Stars |
Round one of the Women's All Star 7s Championship has concluded, and Pool B has turned out to be more competitive than Pool A. The collective point differential in pool A was 71 points, while pool B was 29. The Stars & Stripes sports a young but very potent lineup. Twenty-one-year-old Bui Baravilala leads the team, and she put her international experience to good use with two tries and a conversion during her side's 19-0 win over the Midwest. The USA 7s resident is joined by young 7s Eagles Meya Bizer and Rebekah Siebach, as well as high school standouts Megan Pinson, Asinate Serevi and Cassidy Meyers. The Midwest has their seasoned veterans in Sylvia Braaten, USA 7s resident Kaelene Lundstrum and Cristina Mastrangelo, but also has exciting youngsters in the Eastern Illinois trio of Lauren Doyle, Nia Williams and Maddison Kissner. The Mid-Atlantic and West went toe to toe in the final game of round one. The MARFU team under coach Dana Creager benefits from drawing players from primarily two teams: NOVA and DC Furies. Only Amanda Street (Raleigh) breaks up the lineup. That connection helped MARFU to a 17-7 win over the West. The West has their share of highlights - Hannah Stolba, Kitt Wagner, Sara Edwards from Glendale, for example. USA 7s resident Lauren Hoeck put her side in front 12-0 thanks to two first-half tries and a converson. Megan Hanson added another five-pointer for the 17-0 cushion. Deanna McGillivray (Atomic Sisters) prevented the shutout with a try in the 12th minute, and Stolba's conversion rounded out the scoring for the day. The two undefeated teams - MARFU and Stars & Stripes - will face each other in round two, while the West and Midwest vye for their first victory. |

Berkshire Hickory Smoked Country Ham
Heritage breed country ham from Sam Edwards.
Berkshire hogs are a heritage-breed pig renowned for their full flavor. When third-generation ham curer extraordinaire Sam Edwards started using them instead of his standard pig stock, the results blew him away.
The thin slices of ham, eaten like Italian prosciutto or Spanish jamón serrano, are richer and more flavorful, with a melt in your mouth texture usually found only in the best European hams. The hams are dry cured and hickory smoked. We offer pre-sliced thin like prosciutto (aged fourteen months) and whole in the form of an epic 800 day ham that's aged over two years. It comes bone in, with the hoof on and, in my opinion, is as great as American country ham gets.
Need a stand for your ham? Grab one here.
Serve both as is, at room temperature, with a handful of Virginia Peanuts.
Whole hams are simply wrapped and last for many months. Ships at ambient temperature, store below 70 degrees, ideally between 40 and 60 degrees.

When we're feeing down/blue/depressed (whatever you want to call it), it tends to be the basics that we ignore; an action that ultimately doesn't make us feel any better or work to steer us out of the low tide. Down feelings are a fact of life for everyone at some point in our lives. But throughout it all two things remain certain. The feelings will pass... eventually, and we have a choice to what we can do about it.
There's a tendency when feeling down to wallow in the fog and let our emotions over take us for a few hours, days or even weeks (longer than this and you really should be seeking some form of medical attention). What I'm talking about here are the simple blues, regrets... the day to day common stuff... not clinical depression. Here are five things to get you through it quicker or at least make the low spots a little more tolerable. And guess what, you already know them:
Eat a Nutritious Breakfast - Are you sick of hearing that yet? There's a reason you've heard this time and time again since you were a kid. It's true! A healthy start to your day gives your body and your mind the energy it needs after a night of starvation. Start off with a cup of water. Work your way to a slice of whole wheat with peanut butter or a bowl of quick oats. Include a high biotics low-fat yogurt (I like Bio-Best) and a piece of fruit in season. Make a healthy breakfast an important habit and your day will be more bearable.
Physical Activity - Not to beat a dead horse but what are you waiting for... get moving! Our bodies are meant to move. So move it, move it. If you work sitting in an office get up every 50 minutes and move (set a timer if you have too). Stretch, walk to the cooler and get a drink of water (not pop). Get up early and go for a fifteen minute walk before breakfast. Take a fifteen minute walk at lunch. Take a walk after work to wind down. Take a walk any time to help clear your head and feel better. If you are having a particularly low day stick in an aerobic tape in to the VCR (DVD) player and work it out. One of my favourite stress relievers is a punching bag. Talk about anger management.
Shower - They not only clean away the sins of the day, they are invigorating. Skip the bath and go for the massage of a shower. While you're in there visualize your cares going down the drain with the water. Too hokie? Then just the beads of water tapping your body. Some of my best and most creative ideas come to me when I'm in the shower (I keep a note pad and pen in the bathroom drawer just for these occasions).
Journaling - I harp on this one a lot; that's because journaling helps us to say the things to people we wouldn't normally say (like frak off), it helps us to rant and vent and to get out our anger, frustration and sadness; unlike sitting around and brooding over and over it. If you are ever concerned with someone reading it, you can destroy it afterward. WE have a deep connection with pen and paper as it is one of our earliest tools we learned how to use. We can practically do it in our sleep. Unlike typing which most of us learned at least ten years later. Try journaling to make yourself feel better. Even if you don't think it will work. Try it and then go to bed.
Laughter - It really is the best medicine for when you're feeling down. Even if you fake it. Go ahead, fake it for ten minutes. Yes, studies have been done on this. What hasn't had a study done on it. Rent a funny movie, call a funny friend (or any friend) and ask them to tell you something silly or a joke. You ever notice how there are some people that make you laugh when you're with them (usually for no reason)--call that friend. Take advantage of their friendship and laugh it up.
*Bonus* Music Therapy - Music is primal. It has the ability to lift us with no effort at all. Here is my list of Big Girl Music I love. Remember those day camp/guide songs? You never felt bad when you were singing them. Dig out the lyrics and give it a go. Here are twenty other inspirational or uplifting songs I like to through in the CD player to uplift my spirits:
Time Warp (O'Brien Richard)
Hooked on a Feeling (Blue Suede)
Wild Women Do (Whitney Housten)
Hakuna Matata (Lion King)
We Will Rock You (Queen)
Respect (Aretha Franklin)
Searching My Soul (Vonda Shepherd)
YaYa (Lee Dorsey)
Getting Jiggy With It (Will Smith)
I Won't Back Down (Tom Petty)
Yer So Bad (Tom Petty)
Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Footloose (Kenny Loggins)
Betty Lou's Got a New Pair of Shoes (John Cafferty)
Groove is in the Heart (Deee-lite)
I'm Every Woman (Whitney Houston)
This Little Light of Mine
Ding-Dong! the Witch is Dead (The Munchkins)
Staying Alive (Bee Gees)
Climb Every Mountain (Sound of Music)

Halston Taylor's tenure at MIT began in 1982, as an assistant with the men's track and field squad. Taylor would take over as the head coach of the men in 1990 and has served as Director of MIT's Track and Field programs for the past five seasons. He has solidified MIT's position as one of the most dominant track and field programs in the region, as he totaled his 12th NEWMAC Coach of the Year citation this past season. Both teams earned New England Division III titles in recent years, as the women's last regional crown came at the 2011 outdoor championship and the men won this year's outdoor meet. His teams have combined to win 18 NEWMAC Championships, including 13 of the league's 14 men's crowns.
The indoor and outdoor teams regularly qualify individuals for the NCAA Championships, and under Taylor's guidance, MIT has elicited 188 All-Americans and 13 national champions, including a pair in 2010. Both teams had tremendous showings at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships, as the women finished third and the men placed fourth in the nation. Taylor has collected accolades from the USTFCCCA in each of the past four years, having been named the New England Women's Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2011 while receiving the same honor on the men's side in 2010 and 2012.
Before arriving at MIT, Taylor coached the women's track club at South Carolina and was the boy's track coach at both Granby and Mohawk Regional high schools in Massachusetts.
A native of Columbia, S.C., Taylor is a graduate of the University of South Carolina where he was a four-year letter winner and a 4:05-miler. After receiving his undergraduate degree in Physical Education, Taylor entered UMass-Amherst to study and receive his Masters in Exercise Science.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park preserves two farm sites where Abraham Lincoln lived as a child.
In the fall of 1808, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on Sinking Spring Farm. Two months later on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born there in a one-room log cabin. Today this site bears the address of 2995 Lincoln Farm Road, Hodgenville, Kentucky. A cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved within a 1911, memorial building at the site. Lincoln lived at Sinking Spring until he was two years old, before moving with his family to another farm a few miles to the northeast along Knob Creek, near present-day U.S. Highway 31W, where he lived until the age of seven.
Memorial Building[edit]
A Beaux-Arts neo-classical Memorial Building was designed by John Russell Pope for the birthplace site. In 1909 the cornerstone was laid by President Theodore Roosevelt and the building was dedicated in 1911 by President William Howard Taft.[3] Almost a hundred years after Thomas Lincoln moved from Sinking Spring Farm, a similar log cabin was placed inside the Memorial Building. The Memorial Building features 16 windows, 16 rosettes on the ceiling, and 16 fence poles, representing Lincoln's being the 16th president. The 56 steps leading up to the building entrance represent his age at his death.[4]
The log cabin[edit]
The original log cabin that Lincoln was reputed to have been born in was dismantled sometime before 1865. Local tradition held that some of the logs from the cabin were used in construction of a nearby house. New York businessman A.W. Dennett purchased the Lincoln farm in 1894 and used the logs from this house to construct a cabin similar in appearance to the original cabin where Lincoln was born. Soon the cabin was dismantled and re-erected for exhibition in many cities. Eventually the logs for this cabin, along with logs incorrectly reputed to have belonged to Jefferson Davis' birthplace and possibly a third cabin, were purchased by the Lincoln Farm Association (LFA), which believed they had acquired only Lincoln logs. When workers tried to reconstruct the cabin, they discovered the problem. The LFA bought a one-room cabin similar to the one reconstructed by Dennett. When the last rebuilt cabin was placed in the Memorial Building, its size made visitor circulation difficult. The LFA reduced the cabin's size from 16-by-18 feet to 12-by-17 feet.
Today, historians recognize that the former claim that these logs were from Lincoln's birth cabin was essentially inaccurate. In his book It All Started With Columbus, satirical writer Richard Armour stated that Lincoln had been born in three states and also "in two cabins - the original, and the reconstructed."
Knob Creek[edit]
The separate Knob Creek site (added to the park in 2001) features a 19th-century log cabin and a historic 20th century tavern and tourist site. The log cabin is not original to the site, but may have belonged to neighbors of the Lincolns. It was moved to the approximate location of the Lincolns' home. One of Abraham Lincoln's earliest memories was his near drowning in Knob Creek, and being saved by the neighbor's son.
Lincoln lived here until the age of seven, when his family moved to Indiana, to the site now commemorated as, Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.
Administrative history[edit]
The original Memorial was constructed by the Lincoln Farm Association. In 1916, they donated the Memorial to the Federal government, which established the Abraham Lincoln National Park on July 17, 1916. The War Department administered the site until August 10, 1933, when it was transferred to the National Park Service. It was designated as the Abraham Lincoln National Historical Park on August 11, 1939. It was renamed and redesignated Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site on September 8, 1959. As with all historic sites administered by the National Park Service, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, effective on October 15, 1966. The historic site's definition was expanded to include the Knob Creek site on November 6, 1998.[3] On March 30, 2009, the two sites were again designated a National Historical Park.
Also on the property is the privately owned Nancy Lincoln Inn.

I have been a buyer and a seller on Ebay for many years. I always felt safe using the site as there is Ebay Buyer Protection and I felt Ebay would sort out any problem that might arise. In November 2012, however, I ordered a drill through Ebay. When the item arrived, it was not the one advertised and I contacted the seller. He agreed that it was sent in error and asked me to return it. It cost me £25 to return and from then on I heard nothing from the seller. I contacted Ebay and went through the procedures required. Ebay subsequently refunded my original purchase price but refused to do anything about the cost of returning the item. The Customer services Dept did not really listen to the case and seemed to think I had returned the item for a reason such as "it was the wrong colour" instead of a fraud by the seller. Accordingly, I now have no drill and am out of pocket by £25 as Ebay say is not their policy to cover such items as return costs. Where is the Buyer protection in that. NOT GOOD ENOUGH EBAY!!

Clayton News Daily
By Daniel Silliman
email@example.com The motive remains a mystery. After speaking to a 36-year-old woman's sister and father, Clayton County Police detectives still don't know why Donne Marie Slonaker drove her son 80 miles north, checked into a Stockbridge motel, and killed him and herself. Slonaker and her 10-year-old son were found dead at a Motel 6 Monday afternoon, in room 118. The boy was lying on the floor, with a .380-caliber bullet through the back of his head. Slonaker was dead on the bed, apparently from a self-inflicted shot from the same gun, police said. The Centerville woman and her boy checked into the 7233 Davidson Parkway motel around 7 p.m., Sunday, said Sonja Sanchez, Clayton County Police spokeswoman. The woman rented the $44 room for one night, and the clerk later told police Slonaker seemed, "depressed." The two dead bodies were discovered after Slonaker and her son didn't check out Monday morning and didn't answer the door. A motel manager and maintenance man broke into the room, and found the murder-suicide scene. Sanchez said detectives spoke to Slonaker's father, in Clarksville, Tenn., and her sister in Houston County, Ga., in the 24 hours after the bodies were found Monday. But, the family members couldn't say why the woman would want to kill herself or her son. They couldn't say why she was in Clayton County at a motel off the interstate, 80 miles north of her home near Warner Robins, and more than 300 miles south of her father's home near Nashville. According to Sanchez, Centerville police received a report on Monday morning saying Slonaker was suicidal and had stolen a Russian-made, semi-automatic pistol. Cpl. Raymond Schulten told the Clayton County detectives that Slonaker's neighbors had the woman in their home on Sunday "when she appeared to be suicidal," Sanchez reported. The gun found in the motel room was the same gun registered to the Houston County residents she visited. The investigation is ongoing.More like this story

Before we get to far along on beating on the Army, there is a reason Regulations like 670-1 exist beyond setting culture and expectation. It removes subjectiveness from military appearance. All regulations and most TM's do this define expectations. FM's are bit more flexible.

The U.S. market snuffs their noses at Blackberry (particularly the large financial institutions who short their stock while loading up on Apple), but the Z10 is doing very well overseas thus far. This move by the DOD was obviously coming with so much competition in the industry, but this is merely a fart in the wind as far as Blackberry's turnaround is concerned. It will be blown up by the U.S. financial institutions to be worse than it is though, to drive the stock price down further.

Blackberry's attention to security is legendary and that is why it was adopted by Business and the Government.
I don't think that iOS or Android are as hardened. This move by the DOD surprises me. Are they going to roll their own encrypted communications apps? Hackers are targeting Android like mad. i wonder how they plan to defend against that?

Here in Norway some companies too are reluctant to let people use iOS devices. I can see the security peoples point of view. I been testing a couple of apps for us on a server for about 2 months, and I'm just one person and it will be about 50-60 users. Of course I like it to work instead of cleaning up, that is the mac way I guess.

Point being, when you start seeing Fortune 10 companies and government agencies converting, the ship for blackberry sailed into the sunset years ago.

So this is a terrible idea. Get ready for massive security leaks and more headaches in the government.
In what world is it a good idea to use Android devices for important or sensitive information? Or use Apple devices when security is top priority? There's nothing wrong with either device, but they're consumer grade devices designed for people who text, make some phone calls, shop online, and play games. So they will ditch a device and a network with proven dependability and security for consumer grade entertainment devices? And ditch a company that made it's name doing professional grade secure communication devices and networks. |

You just stated exactly why Blackberry, and others like Samsung, will be just fine. Apple is doing exactly what you say, releasing the same phone over and over again with only slight improvements, while competitors have been forced to step up their game. Samsung took a chance and ran with the "phablet" approach, and it is paying off. Blackberry was forced to start over, and has developed a pretty nifty new OS that is garnering positive reviews. We'll see if they complete the turnaround.

Android Security Nightmare???
I can understand them doing this with IOS devices because of it being a somewhat closed system. Which makes security easier. I don't understand Android. Android is an extremely open system which can sometime be good and bad. Android Apps do not receive the same scrutiny as IOS Apps do, I don't think they receive any but I could be wrong on that. I see Android as a real security threat to the classified systems. i hope I am wrong but if I'm not than this gives China, Iran, and North Korea another way to get into US systems.

---------- Most organizations will be using Good Mobile for enterprise management. I think many will be supporting BYOD at some point in the future. I work for DoD and we are in pilot mode now, however the devices are so locked down you won't be able to use it for much other than actual work. No safari, no itunes, no apps not approved by the admin etc etc....and if a device gets jailbroken it would be detected by the Good for enterprise server and the device would be locked out. |

Maybe The Tim is more flexible with the APIs. But the real story, which MacRumours doesn't expose in the page-hit headline, is that Android and IOS both come in at the same time. Sammy must be thrilled.

The Middle Way: Faith Grounded in Reason
by Dalai Lama
For nearly 2,000 years, Nagarjuna's teachings have occupied a central position in Mahayana Buddhism. An essential part of the study and practice in the great Indian Buddhist monastic universities, these teachings were later incorporated into the Tibetan monastic programs that modeled their curricula on their Indian predecessors. In "The Middle Way, " the Dalai Lama offers a brief, brilliant, and complete presentation of the ultimate view of reality in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism. The teachings are about the Buddhist view, yet the Dalai Lama presents them in a way that allows any interested reader to grasp this profound outlook on life. Like his many books on compassion, "The Middle Way" is vitally important and universally applicable. With its release, the Dalai Lama adds his wisdom teachings to the already established recognition of his incomparable compassion. Hide synopsis

The Most Ridiculous Player to Receive MLB HOF Votes on the Past 10 Ballots
By Joel Reuter ,
The story of this year's Hall of Fame vote was the fact that no one was elected for the first time since 1996, as Craig Biggio came up just short and Steroid Era stars Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds finished well short as expected.
One of the most talked about side plots of this year's voting—which was trending on Twitter for some time (h/t Sports Illustrated), was the fact that right-hander Aaron Sele received a vote.
This is by no means the first time that a unjustifiable candidate has received a vote, as there is seemingly at least one player each season who earns some support despite lacking Hall of Fame credentials. Here is a look at the most ridiculous player to receive a Hall of Fame vote on each of the past 10 ballots.
Voting: three votes (0.6 percent)
Career Numbers: .290/.341/.404, 1160 H, 52 HR, 477 RBI, 492 R
Eisenreich was a utility infielder throughout his career, playing mostly with the Royals and Phillies, and he never topped 500 at bats in any season over the course of his 15-year career.
He wrapped up his career with a WAR of 13.4, with his highest mark coming in 1989 with the Royals at 3.4.
To put that into perspective, Mike Trout had a WAR of 10.0 this past season, and will likely have a better career WAR than Eisenreich by the end of 2013.
He was a fine role player throughout his career, but it's baffling that anyone, let alone three people, would consider him a Hall of Famer.
Voting: two votes (0.4 percent)
Career Stats: 151-164, 3.73 ERA, 108 ERA+, 1,735 Ks, 2,725 IP
Candiotti was one of the better starters in the game from 1986-1991, as he went 78-72 with a 3.48 ERA and threw an impressive 48 complete games.
However, the rest of his 16-year career was pedestrian at best and that career peak is not exactly Sandy Koufax or Pedro Martinez.
He was a durable innings eater, topping the 200 inning mark nine times, but he was nothing more than a middle-of-the-rotation starter. He never received Cy Young consideration and never appeared in an All-Star game.
Voting: five votes (1.0 percent)
Career Stats: .304/.361/.433, 1,216 H, 76 HR, 513 RBI, 535 R
Morris was a stellar platoon player, as he hit right-handers to the tune of .320/.376/.420 over the course of his 16-year career.
However, he lacked prototypical power for a first baseman with a career-best 16 home runs coming in 1996. That was also the only season in which he received over 500 at bats.
He finished in the top five in the batting average race in 1991 and 1994, and received MVP consideration in 1994 as well.
All told though, he was far from a Hall of Famer, especially playing a premium production position like first base.
Voting: two votes (0.4 percent)
Career Stats: .272/.347/.447, 1,710 H, 239 HR, 983 RBI, 894 R
With an MVP award to his credit, it would normally be understandable that Caminiti would receive at least a handful of votes on that accolade alone.
However, he came out and admitted to his steroid use in a very public Sports Illustrated cover story the year after he retired.
If that was not enough to dissuade voters, Caminiti also racked up four different violations for cocaine possession and subsequent breaking of probation on more cocaine charges.
Caminiti suffered an untimely death on October 10, 2004 due to the combined effects of cocaine and opiates.
With as much talk as there has been about the exclusion of the greats of the Steroid Era, and even voters who feel they should be enshrined unsure of exactly where they fit into the game's history, it is hard to believe that two people who have the distinction of casting a Hall of Fame vote would consider Caminiti a worthy candidate.
Voting: one vote (0.2 percent)
Career Stats: 138-121, 4.28 ERA, 100 ERA+, 1,587 Ks, 2,191.2 IP
Stottlemyre played a key role on the Blue Jays back-to-back World Series champion teams in 1992 and 1993, as he went 12-11 with a 4.50 ERA in '92 and 11-12 with a 4.84 ERA in '93.
However, he never had an ERA under 3.74 in any single season, and while he won double-digit games eight times during his career he also lost double-digits in five of those seasons.
He was a solid strikeout pitcher, but he was average at best and his 100 ERA+ speaks volumes to that fact.
Voting: two votes (0.4 percent)
Career Stats: .265/.343/.416, 1,963 H, 195 HR, 860 RBI, 1,123 R
Bell is best known for his time with the Diamondbacks, and his 1999 season in particular when he hit .289 BA, 38 HR, 112 RBI after entering the season with 124 career home runs in 13 seasons.
In total, he hit 91 home runs in five seasons in Arizona, as his late career power surge was a puzzling one to say the least.
However, the rest of his career was average at best, as he was a two-time All-Star and won a Gold Glove in 1993.
Earlier this year, I ranked my top 50 shortstops of all-time, and Bell did not crack that list. He was a solid player, but he is not even among the best of all-time at his position, let alone in all of baseball history.
Voting: one vote (0.2 percent)
Career Stats: .291/.359/.443, 1,412 H, 139 HR, 684 RBI, 683 R
An admitted steroid user, Segui never appeared to reap the benefits of PEDs, as he topped 20 home runs in a season just once in his career.
His 15-year career was that of a solid role player, with his best career comparisons being Sean Casey, Dmitri Young and Kevin Millar, according to Baseball Reference.
On production alone, he has no business garnering any Hall of Fame votes, but with the addition of his steroid use it's hard to imagine why anyone would have voted for him.
Voting: two votes (0.3 percent)
Career Stats: .282/.332/.413, 2,326 H, 188 HR, 1,153 RBI, 1,062 R
Surhoff remained productive throughout his 19-year big league career, hitting .309 BA, 8 HR, 50 RBI over 343 at bats as a 39-year-old.
He entered the league as a catcher before transitioning to the outfield, and was the first-overall pick in the 1985 draft.
His career stats are solid, but the fact that he posted them over 19 seasons waters them down a bit. He never hit 30 home runs and only once topped 100 RBI.
Voting: four votes (0.7 percent)
Career Stats: .291/.373/.425, 1,229 H, 85 HR, 493 RBI, 663 R
How do you turn an average career into one that earns you four Hall of Fame votes? You win a batting title and serve as a key member of the Red Sox team that breaks the Curse of the Bambino.
Mueller hit .326 BA, 19 HR, 85 RBI in 2003 and the following season he was a key member of the team's title winning team.
In the end, his 85 home runs and 493 RBI are far from worthy of enshrinement, especially as a third baseman.
Voting: one vote (0.2 percent)
Career Stats: 148-112, 4.61 ERA, 100 ERA+, 1,407 Ks, 2,153 IP
During a five-year stretch from 1997-2001, Sele won 82 games and was named to the AL All-Star team twice.
However, he had the benefit of pitching in front of a solid offense in Boston, Texas and Seattle and won those games with a less-than-stellar 4.47 ERA.
He never won double-digit games in any season outside of those five, and he was a back-of-the rotation pitcher for the rest of his career, leaving him far from Hall of Fame worthy.

NASHVILLE — At first glance, Shane Victorino doesn't seem to fit the profile of a Red Sox right fielder, but the former Gold Glover with the Phillies used to have one of the strongest arms among center fielders.
While his arm strength has declined somewhat, it's certainly suitable for right field at Fenway Park. And we know his legs are still good, so he can track down balls.
But consider this: What if the Red Sox have a deal down the road for Jacoby Ellsbury? The Sox always could move Victorino back to his natural position. That is the flexibility he provides.
General manager Ben Cherington indicated that he wanted a center fielder who could play right, too, because of the ground an outfielder needs to cover at Fenway.
You'll notice that there's been a lot of emphasis on the home ballpark as the Sox design their moves.
With Jonny Gomes and Mike Napoli, it's righthanded Wall power. With Victorino, it's a Gold Glove outfielder who still can cover a lot of ground at age 32, and who has a decent arm, is a switch hitter, can steal bases, and plays hard.
Some may see this as another "so what?" move, and there are baseball people roaming the halls here in Opryland already being critical of the money the Red Sox dished out for him. But Victorino has something to prove.
After he was traded to the Dodgers last July, things didn't get much better. He hit .255 for the year.
Why did have such a poor season?
The prevailing theory was espoused by one baseball official who said, "I felt he played under pressure for a new contract and really didn't relax and play. He played with passion all the time, a winning player. I've seen him a lot and he can be a difference-maker for a team who doesn't hit him in the middle of the lineup."
Victorino also played the whole season with a hand injury that bothered him at the plate.
"He's such a high-energy, all-out guy," said Rangers special assistant and MLB Network analyst John Hart. "Like Napoli, he's a blue-collar guy, loves to play, and leaves it all on the field.
"I think people in Boston are going to love the way he plays and appreciate the little things he does so well.
"I think the Red Sox have done a nice job with their signings so far. We loved Napoli in Texas and he's a better catcher than people give him credit for."
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was also a huge advocate for Victorino. He knew Victorino was playing hurt, and was sorry to see him go.
Cherington feels he was able to make a dent in the "too righthanded" problem by signing a switch hitter. Cherington also made it sound as if the Red Sox might not be done acquiring outfielders, and said he was leaving the door open for Cody Ross.
The Sox still haven't closed the door on Nick Swisher, either.
This lends credence to the possibility that they may be shopping Ellsbury, knowing they have Jackie Bradley Jr. on the way. Ellsbury could land them a starting pitcher (maybe even Philadelphia's Cliff Lee).
The Sox have had discussions with the Mets, Indians, Royals, Phillies, Rangers, and others.
They don't seem to be in on National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey, only because they have their own knuckleball specialist in Steven Wright, who may be one of the first pitchers called up in 2013 if there should be an injury in the rotation.
The Sox now have signed four new players this offseason. Two (Victorino and catcher David Ross) address defensive needs. Two (Napoli and Gomes) address offensive needs. They seem to have a definite plan and so far it appears they have been able to execute it.
The next shoe to drop could be someone like Swisher or a starting pitcher or even a shortstop. Manager John Farrell wouldn't mind another big arm in the bullpen. The Red Sox have been linked to free agents Kyle Lohse and Ryan Dempster.
If the Dodgers wind up with Zack Greinke, they could move lefty Chris Capuano. The Springfield, Mass., native was discussed two years ago when the Red Sox were trying to obtain a starting pitcher.
Right now, it appears the White Sox want to hold on to Gavin Floyd. The Cubs would move Matt Garza, who is on target for spring training after rehabilitating an elbow injury, but most teams would want to see him throw before they'd be willing to make a deal. But Garza definitely could be on Boston's radar.
The Red Sox have been the most active team at the winter meetings so far, perhaps with a lot more to come. Cherington said he expected the outfield market to move fast, but the pitching market has been slow.
The Nationals signing Dan Haren to a one-year, $13 million deal could start the ball rolling. The Red Sox had their own discussions with Haren but felt his hip condition was a red flag.Continued...

In your sentence the subject is 'a great number of hooligans'. It's a case of emphatic inversion (the predicate precedes the subject). We can rephrase the sentence:
A great number of hooligans were moving toward the stadium.
So the auxiliary 'to be' has to be adjusted to the subject. 'A number of smth' normally agrees with a plural verb (unlike 'the number of sth' which agrees with a singular verb).
Suggesting that 'moving toward the stadium' is a subject doesn't make any sense, though from the point of view of the formal sentence structure it may look like a subject.
