I just scheduled my interview for this weekend...so excited!!
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.-Walt Disney
I'm calling in today to schedule my interview too! And thanks for all the advice above! :0D
Well I completed my phone interview a few days ago so now I'm just waiting for a response. I felt really good after I completed it, but the longer I wait the more nervous I get!! I don't know if can take 3-4 more weeks before I get an answer..!
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.-Walt Disney
I just took my phone interview today too! I can't wait to find out! and I agreee, the whole 3-4 week thing is killing me, and it's been less than 24 hours :0)
I remember doing my interview face to face.(of course that was 20 years ago now) I think that would be more nerve wracking than on the phone! Be yourself. Just think of it as talking to a friend on the phone, and have a "smile in your voice" sounds kind of funny - but my boss says it all the time and you can actually "hear" when someone is smiling and enjoying themselves.
Good Luck!!
Did you guys ever here back? I was told it could take up to 4 weeks to hear back, but I actually got my invite in less than a week. Hopefully you guys were able to get in.
yup, i heard back within like two days, and I was offered a position, but I was also offered a Professional Internship position too, so I'll be doing that instead :0)

SQL Queries Make Staroffice Vulnerable
Security researchers Secunia have discovered a vulnerability in StarOffice that gives attackers the ability to execute arbitrary code. The developers of the free counterpart, OpenOffice, removed the problem last week.
The cause of the vulnerability with the CVE ID 2007-4575 is erroneous security restrictions in the integrated HSQLDB database which allows the execution of SQL queries with malevolent Java code with root privileges. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening a carefully crafted document for the exploit to work.
The vulnerability affects StarOffice 188.8.131.52 and older versions of the application. OpenOffice is also affected, but its developers published version 2.3.1 last week to fix the bug. A fix is not currently available for StarOffice. Uses should only open documents from trusted sources. Secunia says that the bug is critical.

Start-Ups Silicon Valley Ep. 6: Booty calls and booted dolls
Last week, we left our protagonists on "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley" hanging on the end of a strap-on.
No, wait. It was Hermione (blonde, British, boozer) who was hanging on to a strap-on at the end.
Her brother Ben (short, pretty, pretty short) was livid with her, even though it was her birthday party. One doesn't play with sex toys in front of VCs.
Not unless those sex toys are social and can entice 100 million users within a week.
Ben reveals to Hermione something more important than whether they lost $500,000 to her dildo dancing: he … Read more

The Beast and the Least... in the Far East
For those of you who are up too late, or too early, and are reading this, I have just part of my entry for today posted. I have discussed the Twins game from yesterday and how former Twins did. I talked about the Timberwolves important win in Houston. I have also included again this week's Discussion Questions. However, the primary piece of my entry for today is major league's first regular season game of the year. I can't call it Opening Day because that really is just the first full Monday of games, or even the Sunday night game. However, at 4 a.m. central time today, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays will open their regular season with two games in Japan. I will be awake and writing my thoughts as the game takes place. I am looking forward to it. Will I do the same for the second game, at the same time tomorrow? Uhh... No. I do like sleep! I hope you enjoy the thoughts. If you want some great thoughts on the Yankees roster and the Devil Rays roster, check out Clifford's Big Red Blog today.
Pitching today will be the Yankees Mike Mussina against the Devil Rays Victor Zambrano. Last year, Mussina was 17-8 with a 3.40 ERA. Zambrano went 12-10 with a 4.21 ERA for the Rays. Mussina is 35 years old, entering his 14th major league season, and with one win would have 200 for his career. The 28 year old Zambrano is in his fourth big league season, and has 26 career wins. The starting pitchers are really just a microcosm of the discrepancies between these two teams. The Yankees spend money to bring in the best players. The Devil Rays are in year two of a rebuilding plan. They have got some great, talented young players who were given a chance to play last year. If the Rays were in the AL Central, I think they could legitimately finish in the top 3 of the division. In the AL East, they will maybe have a chance to finish 4th in the division.
Yankees Devil Rays
Derek Jeter SS Carl Crawford LF
Hideki Matsui LF Damion Rolls 3B
Alex Rodriguez SS Rocco Baldelli CF
Jason Giambi 1B Aubrey Huff DH
Gary Sheffield RF Jose Cruz Jr RF
Jorge Posada C Tino Martinez 1B
Ruben Sierra DH Julio Lugo SS
Enrique Wilson 2B Toby Hall C
Kenny Lofton CF Rey Sanchez 2B
By just looking at the lineups, there is no doubt which team has more experience and more fire-power. The Yankees lineup, especially 1-6 is incredible! Their 3-4-5 hitters have to be as intimidating as any middle of the lineup ever. Bernie Williams will eventually fill the DH role. This is Enrique Wilson's first full-time job, so it should be interesting to see how well he does. Kenny Lofton was brought in to give the Yankees a legitimate leadoff hitter, and he has struggled so much he is now in the 9 hole for the time being.
But don't look too far past this Devil Rays offense. I think Carl Crawford is ready to have a big year. He doesn't walk, but he does steal a lot of bases (55 last year). He is also a big strong kid, so I think power will come, starting in 2004. Rocco Baldelli doesn't walk either, but he is a good hitter and incredible fast! The two cover a lot of ground in the outfield. Aubrey Huff might be one of the least known stars in the league. In 162 games last year, he hit .311/.367/.555 with 47 doubles, 34 homers and 107 RBI. Jose Cruz Jr won a Gold Glove last year, and had a solid first two months with the bat for the Giants last year. Tino Martinez has had a couple of "off" years, but the 36 year old former Yankee hero should be able to provide the team with some good leadership and plenty of punch with the bat. Julio Lugo has hit well. Then the lineup has question marks, especially in Rey Sanchez. He can't hit, so how long before BJ Upton makes his big league debut?
It should be a fun game to watch. I have the utmost respect for the Yankees and their players. However, I really like the little guys, in this case, the Devil Rays. I think they will be a fun team to watch as the year continues.
I will be back in about 4 1/2 hours (if I can wake up!), and start my 2004 baseball season posting. I will try to post every 1/2 inning or so. See ya then!
Good morning, All! I actually got up at 3:55 a.m. this morning, in time to watch the final three minutes of the Minnesota Wild's 5-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings replayed on ESPN2. 55,000 fans in attendance in the game at the Tokyo Dome. A little time lesson. It is 4 a.m. here in Minnesota as it is 7 p.m. in Tokyo. I can't help but wonder how many people in New York, or across the USA are awake just to watch this game... or is it just me? 7,200 miles from New York to Tokyo. Harold Reynolds, Peter Gammons and Karl Ravech are doing the pre-game commentating.
1st Inning
1st Pitch from Victor Zambrano to Derek Jeter at 4:14 a.m. central time. On a 1-1 pitch, Jeter grounds out to SS Julio Lugo. Hideki Matsui to the plate, batting second, something a lot of Yankees fans don't seem to like. I personally don't think it is a big deal. He should get some pitches to hit hitting in front of the Big 3. On a 3-1 pitch, Matsui drills a double to right centerfield. I really think that Matsui will increase his home run numbers. Even if he doesn't, he hits a lot of doubles and just seems to be a very professional hitter. Alex Rodriguez steps to the plate for his first official at bat as a Yankee. After falling behind 2-0, Zambrano comes back with two fastballs down the middle that A-Rod took. On 2-2, Zambrano threw a nasty, sharp-breaking curveball that A-Rod took for a called third strike. Jason Giambi comes up. You have to assume that he will increase his batting average from its .250 level in 2003. Power numbers shouldn't be a problem...and just as I write that, Giambi drills a 1-0 fastball to left centerfield, just over the fence, to put two runs on the scoreboard. Gary Sheffield now steps in for his first Yankees at bat. Bat waving, Sheffield takes a big, full swing and hits a perfect drag bunt down the third baseline for a single. Nothing Zambrano could do. Jorge Posada, the Yankees All-Star catcher, a catcher who could arguably be called the best catcher in baseball steps in. Zambrano gets ahead of Posada with a couple of curveballs, then strikes him out with a couple of good moving fastballs. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
Mike Mussina to Carl Crawford. On the first pitch, Crawford lays down a bunt that did not get far enough from the plate. Jorge Posada made a relatively easy play to throw him out. Damion Rolls steps in takes the first two pitches before hitting a one-hopper to Enrique Wilson at 2B for the second out. That brings "sophomore" CF Rocco Baldelli to the plate. On a 2-2 pitch, Mussina throws Baldelli a great knuckle-curveball for a swinging strike three. I'm really surprise more people don't throw the knuckle-curve because it isn't hard to throw and really makes for a very sharp break. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
2nd Inning
Ruben Sierra seems old, but he is a big, strong man who can still hit. His batting stance hasn't changed since his debut in 1986. He grounds out to 2B. Enrique Wilson pops up to RF on the first pitch. Wilson used to be a top prospect with the Indians before eventually being traded to the Yankees where he has been a solid utility infielder. Kenny Lofton is batting ninth for the Yankees. On a 1-2 pitch, Lofton slaps a ball right down the left field line for a triple. Carl Crawford bobbles it just a little bit, allowing Lofton to reach 3B. After getting behind 3-1 to Derek Jeter, with some real wildness, Zambrano paints the outside corner with a fastball and gets Jeter to strike out on another great curveball. You know, Zambrano may not put up great numbers today, but just from seeing him pitch two innings, it is easy to see how he put up decent numbers last year, and how the Rays feel he could be an "ace." He has good stuff. I'm sure it's just a matter of putting it all together and then being more consistent. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
Aubrey Huff leads off the 2nd for the Rays. With his weight on his back leg, he explodes into a first pitch fastball and lines it off the fence in right field. He hit it so hard that he could only get a single. Jose Cruz steps to the plate for his first Tampa Bay at bat. He started last season very well, hitting a lot of home runs and ended with 34 homers, but really struggled with his batting average. That said, he also walks a lot. He flies out to the warning track in left field. for the first out. Tino Martinez drills a line drive single to right field on the curveball. Julio Lugo flies to left field on the first pitch. Kenny Lofton played it pretty lackadaisically and Huff advanced to 3B. Toby Hall steps to the plate and takes two curveballs for balls. One a 2-0 fastball, Hall is out front a little bit and grounds to SS for a fielder's choice to end the inning. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
3rd Inning
Hideki Matsui leads off for the Yankees, to another loud ovation. Fastball inside corner. Split finger outside corner. Curveball tapped back to Zambrano for the first out. Excellent pitch selection. Alex Rodriguez is now up. First pitch fastball away. Curveball looking. Curveball swinging. Fastball right down the middle for a called third strike. A-Rod looks like he isn't seeing the ball well, but Zambrano is making some good pitches, in good locations, in good sequence. Jason Giambi stands straight up and takes a big swing; this time he pops up to shallow left field for the third out. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
Rey Sanchez singles to right on the first pitch. The Rays must have a strategy of hitting the first pitch off Mussina. We know Mussina doesn't walk a lot of hitters and wants/needs to get ahead of hitters to be able to really use his other pitches. So, the first pitch may be their most hittable pitch. Carl Crawford pops up to Jeter. Damion Rolls, on an 0-2 pitch, grounds weakly between short and third. A-Rod makes a nice play. Had the ball made it to shortstop, Rolls probably beats it out. So, with two outs, Rocco Baldelli steps into the batter's box. Like all the previous batters, he swings at the first pitch, a curveball that hits the dirt. He grounds up the middle to Derek Jeter, for the third out. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
4th Inning
I almost miss the first pitch of the fourth inning to Gary Sheffield because Britney Spear's Toxic video is on MTV. Zambrano falls behind 3-0 before walking Sheffield. Jorge Posada swings at the first pitch and is out in front of a get-it-over fastball. He is then jammed on a good fastball on his hands and pops up to 3B Rolls. Ruben Sierra pops up to the catcher for the second out. Enrique Wilson gets behind 1-2 and takes another pitch before lining on a rope to right field for the third out. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 0.
Cold Pizza commercial announces that Jim Bowden and Warren Cromartie will be the guests. At first, that seems pretty random, but after playing ten years in the big leagues for the Expos (1974-1983), Cromartie spent some years playing in Japan and was a star there. He played in a few games with the Royals in 1991 before retiring.
Aubrey Huff leads off the inning by drilling a line drive to centerfield. Jose Cruz walks on 5 pitches. On 3-1 pitch to Tino Martinez, Cruz steals second base to get into scoring position with less than two outs. On the second full-count pitch, Martinez takes a close pitch for ball four. Julio Lugo hits a slow roller down the 3rd base line. A-Rod charged it nicely and made the good throw to first for the second out. I'm sure every play that A-Rod makes at 3rd will be analyzed excessively, but I think he has looked good in the three plays he has made. Toby Hall got jammed but blooped it into right field to score both runs, tying the game. He was thrown out trying to take 2nd base on the throw. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 2.
5th Inning
Kenny Lofton, hitting 9th in the order, leads off the 5th inning. In other words, the leadoff hitter is only the leadoff hitter in the first inning. After that, anyone can lead off. Lofton hits the first pitch on a line that Baldelli runs down in right center. Derek Jeter fouls off two 3-2 pitches before rocketing a one-hopper to short for the second out. On a 2-0 pitch, Hideki Matsui grounds out to 2B for the third out. Victor Zambrano is pretty impressive. Good fastball, good curveball and a good changeup. Despite being a Devil Ray, he may be worth drafting in your fantasy league. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 2.
Rey Sanchez leads off the fifth against Mike Mussina. He bloops a single to center on a 1-2 pitch. Rey Sanchez is 2-2!! Carl Crawford misses on a bunt attempt on the first pitch. This is part of why I love the Rays. They bunt, steal and hit-and-run, all in an attempt to make things tough on the defense. It is so fun to watch! Crawford fouls off the second pitch in a bunt attempt as well. On 1-2, he strikes out on a nasty knuckle-curve. Damion Rolls grounds down the 3B line. A-Rod played the ball like a SS going into the hole. He made the throw to second, but because Rey Sanchez was running with the pitch, he was safe at 2B. However, the play by A-Rod was impressive. I really don't think moving to 3B is going to be a problem, and I really think it is best for the Yankees that he is the one who switched positions. Rocco Baldelli flies out to CF with Sanchez advancing to 3B. Good at bat by Baldelli, making Mussina throw a lot of pitches. ESPN is choosing to show a lot of slow-motion looks at the Mussina pitch grips. It is interesting to see the grips and the movement as it approaches the plate, but they are doing it too often. Aubrey Huff lined out to RF for the third out. I think he just missed. The Rays strand two. Yankees 2, Devil Rays 2.
6th Inning
On a 2-1 pitch, Alex Rodriguez doubles an outside fastball down the RF line for his first Yankees hit. Maybe Jason Giambi will bunt him to 3B? Yeah, right!! Harold Reynolds talks about "winning baseball" and Giambi giving himself up. My thinking? He's left-handed, let him try to knock him in. Worst case, he grounds out to 2B and A-Rod advances. On 3-2, Zambrano makes a great pitch with a moving fastball on the outside corner. Giambi taps back to the Zambrano for the first out. On an 0-2 pitch, Zambrano came up and in on Gary Sheffield. Shef in an attempt to protect himself almost, hits a double down the right field line. He didn't even mean to swing. A-Rod scores the go-ahead run. The game is not always fair!! On 3-1, Jorge Posada grounds out to 2B, Sheffield advances to 3B. Ruben Sierra breaks his bat and Julio Lugo makes a great, over-the-shoulder sliding catch for the 3rd out. I am sure that Zambrano is done, but I just have to say that I am fully impressed by him and his "stuff." Yankees 3, Devil Rays 2.
Mike Mussina remains in the game. Jose Cruz, on a 2-2 pitch, launches a hanger deep into the right field bleachers to tie it up. Tino Martinez hits a ball right down the 1st base line for a double. Julio Lugo hit a drive to centerfield that somehow Kenny Lofton didn't catch so Lugo is credited for a double and an RBI as Martinez scored as well. George Steinbrenner wanted Kenny Lofton to play CF for the Yankees for defensive purposes, and Lofton is not half the centerfielder that he once was (although he is still better than Bernie Williams is). Joe Torre visits the mound, probably just to get the bullpen ready. Toby Hall rips a shot past a diving A-Rod for another double to score Lugo. Hall now has 3 RBI. And on that note, Mike Mussina's game is done, and lefty Paul Quantrill is in. The Yankees bullpen prior to Mariano Rivera was the lone weak spot of of their team, and Quantrill will help them out dramatically. He gets a grounder back to himself out of Rey Sanchez, a hard grounder to second off the bat of Carl Crawford and a two hopper to shortstop by Damion Rolls (on three total pitches) to get out of the inning. Yankees 3, Devil Rays 5.
7th Inning
Lance Carter, an "All-Star" last year for the Rays, comes in to the game to replace Zambrano. After pitching so well for 6 innings, Zambrano is now in line to pick up a win if the bullpen can hold the lead. Tino Martinez makes a nice leaping catch on an Enrique Wilson liner for the first out. Kenny Lofton pops up in foul territory to shortstop Julio Lugo. After getting ahead 0-2 on Derek Jeter, Carter gets him to ground out to 2B on a full count for the third out. Now, Danys Baez is the Rays closer. He will probably pitch the 9th inning if they still have the lead. But, for my money, I want my best pitcher pitching the 8th inning. Why? Because the Yankees will have Matsui, A-Rod, Giambi and Sheffield coming up that inning. We'll see what Lou Pinella chooses to do. I don't think that Baez is their best pitcher (I would say either Carter or Chad Gaudin would be), so it may be a mute point. Yankees 3, Devil Rays 5.
The Toxic video is on MTV again! Rocco Baldelli doesn't even try to hide it, but he lays a bunt down the 3B line. Quantrill tries to field it instead of letting A-Rod make the play. It probably didn't matter as Baldelli would have beaten it out anyway. However, a bump between the two and some awkward steps seems to injure Quantrill's knee, and he is forced to leave the game. Felix Heredia enters the game and before even making a pitch, he throws to first base and Giambi let it go right between his legs, allowing Baldelli to advance to 3B. On the next pitch, Aubrey Huff singled to right field, driving in Baldelli. Jose Cruz, now batting right handed, nails the first pitch to deep right centerfield for the inning's first out. On a 3-1 pitch, Tino Martinez unloads on a fastball right down the middle and hits it well into the right field bleachers to give the Rays an 8-3 lead. The blast is Martinez's 300th career homer. (Have you see the Kanye West video with Stacey Dash? Unbelievable! We like Stacey Dash! Although, I'm not a fan of the sunglasses!) Anyway, Julio Lugo grounds out to short. First pitch swinging, Toby Hall singles to leftfield for his 3rd hit of the game. Rey Sanchez then grounds back to Heredia for the 3rd out. Yankees 3, Devil Rays 8.
8th Inning
Lance Carter remains in the game to face Hideki Matsui. Matsui pops in foul territory to Damion Rolls. With a 5 run lead, Carter is able to challenge Alex Rodriguez with a 2-0 fastball. A-Rod knows it is coming and probably gets too anxious and pops up to short. Jason Giambi doubled off the centerfield wall. Baldelli almost made a great catch, but just ran out of room and into the wall. Carter walks Gary Sheffield on four pitches. On a 2-2 pitch, Carter strikes out Jorge Posada on a tough split finger fastball. Yankees 3, Devil Rays 8.
Carl Crawford grounds out to shortstop of Heredia. Damion Rolls rips a shot off the left field wall for a double. Rocco Baldelli walks on four pitches. Aubrey Huff strikes out on three tough pitches. Jose Cruz lines another shot, this one right at RF Sheffield for the third out. Yankees 3, Devil Rays 8.
9th Inning
Danys Baez comes in for the Devil Rays for the 9th inning, in a non-save situation. Ruben Sierra strikes out on a split-finger after a seven pitch at bat. Enrique Wilson lined out to Crawford in left field for Out #2. Kenny Lofton coaxes a walk and takes second on the next pitch, on catcher's indifference. Derek Jeter grounded out to 3B to end the game.
I am not a Yankees-hater, but I am happy to tell everyone that the Yankees have the worst record in all of baseball. And, being a fan of the Devil Rays, I am happy to tell everyone that the Rays have the best record in all of baseball! I was very impressed with Victor Zambrano. Lance Carter looked good. The Rays offense was very aggressive, which really helped them. I'm sure it wasn't a SABRmetricians way of winning, but it worked for the Rays today. And because of that, the game was done in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Of course the Rays won't win the division. Of course the Yankees will make the playoffs. But for this day, it was all Devil Rays. But ,since it is the only game around that 'means something,' the Yankees loss will be over-analyzed, instead of just realizing it is just one game. The same teams play at the same time tomorrow. And... I'm afraid I will be sleeping through it! I guess the next full regular season game I will watch will be the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night.
If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me. This game will be re-aired on ESPN this afternoon. So, find someone who doesn't realize that the game is tape-delayed, and impress them with your ability to "Guess" which happens each play!
MONDAY - Twins 13, Blue Jays 7
The Twins won a high-scoring game against the Blue Jays yesterday. It was a good day for the offense, and not just the usual names. Sure, Matthew Lecroy had a two run double. Joe Mauer had an RBI double. Nick Punto played some RF and went 3-6 with a double and 3 RBI. Alex Prieto even hit, going 2-2 with an RBI.. Luis Maza, a minor league second baseman came in and was 2-3 with a HR and 2 RBI. Brian Simmons, yet another AAA outfielder for the Twins, wears #61, but went 2-5 with 2 RBI with a long HR that looked impressive on SportsCenter. Seth Griesinger was given another opportunity to impress the coaching staff. He gave up two runs (one earned) in 3 innings. JC Romero pitched two scoreless innings. Aaron Fultz, Pat Neshek and Sean Douglass each pitched one shutout inning.
TUESDAY - The Twins will play the Cincinnati Reds at noon today. The big news for the Reds was Ken Griffey leaving the game in the 2nd inning with a strained calf. It is not believed to be too serious, but he will have to sit out a few games.
Joe Nathan Diary - The Twins closer Joe Nathan wrote up a quick diary entry for MLB.com. In it, he discusses coming to spring training with the Twins, some adjustments, and how close to ready he is. It's an interesting read.
Mientkiewicz Article - Doug Mientkiewicz has been playing and hitting well this spring. He's healthy. He's ready for the season. SportsCenter showed him making two diving plays from yesterday's game. So what could possibly be upsetting to him these days? Well, after getting his second hit in his second at bat on Sunday, he was pinch run for... by Matthew Lecroy. This is another great Jim Souhan article!
Twins Geek Article - Check out the Twins Geek article today. He discusses Luis Rivas, and actually isn't all that negative. I like reading that, because I do think there are a lot of positives about him. I don't think he's reached his potential, or even that his potential is very high. However, he is far from the reason the Twins would ever lose.
Five Questions: Minnesota Twins - Aaron Gleeman wrote an article for The Hardball Times asking, and then answering, five questions about the Twins heading into the 2004 season. And, if you're interested in checking out the Twins opponents, be sure to check out:
Studes Five Questions: Chicago White Sox.
Bryan Smith's Five Questions: Kansas City Royals
Robert Dudek's Five Questions: Cleveland Indians
Joe Dimino's Five Questions: Detroit Tigers
Jody Gerut's Weblog - Jody Gerut has written another installment of his website. This one deals alot with the steroid issue and presents some information that I did not know before. Check it out.
If you have any thoughts on the Twins, their roster, or the upcoming season, please e-mail me. You will notice that is a part of the Discussion Questions.
Here are how former Twins players did for their new teams on Monday. Mark Guthrie and Orlando Merced were both released by the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. Warren Morris was sent down by the Tigers.

Last night, the Wolves traveled to Houston to take on the Rockets, a team that they don't match up well with, however, could match up with in the first round of the playoffs.
It was a closely contested game throughout. The Wolves were down by one point at halftime, and the game was tied at the end of the third quarter. Then, the game was tied with less than a minute to play. But as usual, Kevin Garnett took over. He assisted Sam Cassell on a three pointer. He then knocked down two free throws and a short jumper to give the Wolves the lead. Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell each made a pair of free throws in the last 15 seconds to ice the game, and a 94-88 win for the Wolves.
Kevin Garnett led with 17 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots. Latrell Sprewell added 15 points and 7 assists. Sam Cassell had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Wally Szczerbiak scored nine, but no one else had more than 6 points for the Wolves. The Rockets used a very balanced attack as all five of their starters had either 16 or 17 points.
The win was very important because the Spurs beat Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers last night. Had the Wolves lost, they would have had just a 1/2 game lead on the Spurs. Now, the lead stays at 1.5 games. Next up for the Wolves is a matchup with the Seattle Supersonics Wednesday night at Target Center. Every game is going to be big the rest of the way out.
Any Wolves thoughts? Can they hold on to win the Midwest? E-mail me.

The Big Internet Future
The Big Internet Future
We're all working on building the big Internet future – where we can dream big dreams and be more than we can be; where we all know each other and free ideas flow like champagne, and we have powers that an earlier generation would have thought were magic. We turn our wide, hungry, excited eyes to the future. We are the future. We dream, and we are struck with awe at the future we are building…
The Big Internet Future
Dear Linux Pro Reader,
We're all working on building the big Internet future – where we can dream big dreams and be more than we can be; where we all know each other and free ideas flow like champagne, and we have powers that an earlier generation would have thought were magic. We turn our wide, hungry, excited eyes to the future. We are the future. We dream, and we are struck with awe at the future we are building…
If you live inside the high tech arena, you probably hear some form of this speech every day: in advertisements, in commentaries, in books, in press conferences, at academic conferences, in grant proposals. That is the collective quest we are on: building the big Internet future. But what is this future? How do we know what it looks like when it hasn't happened yet? Is this future extrapolated from the present in some way that would pass scientific muster? Or is this someone's engineered vision that just gets put inside our heads through the collective interest of government, business, and academia?
We are taught that imagining the future makes us creative and adventurous. We are explorers. To complete the lesson, we are even given the future that we can be creative imagining – the moving target of our collective high-tech vision: Right now, it has to do with the wonder of the cloud, the power of social networking, and the beauty of personal gadgets that were once phones and are becoming articles of clothing. That's where we're all going, right?
Like most people, I was shocked to learn of the spying and privacy violations associated with the US government's PRISM project. What shocks me just as much, or perhaps more, is the fact that we seem to think we can design our way through the revelations about the PRISM project without ever challenging the tidy vision of our collective Internet future. Very few seem to be asking whether the ease with which the government tainted and subverted our Internet vision might be an indication that the vision itself is fundamentally unsound. We discuss our legal strategies, and technical strategies, for how to stop the government from spying on the beautiful Internet as we imagine it, but does anybody really have an answer?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to let the US government off the hook. To the extent that laws were broken, perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted. To the extent that laws don't exist (which is more to the point), representatives should be held accountable and voted out if they don't act decisively to enact credible privacy standards. But even after saying that, I'm still a little amazed that everyone seems to think we just need to get the government yanked around where we want them to be, then we can go on building this glorious vision of a world where our entire life story (what we want, what we think, who we know) exists in electronic form, floating on a massive global network no one owns or controls, and the whole thing will add up to something we will recognize as old-school reverence for the concept of privacy.
One thing the PRISM affair has taught us is that, even with the benefit of cryptography, stopping government espionage is a high-level skill that is difficult to address alone, except by making it a priority in the voting booth. But the deterioration of our privacy has been a problem since long before PRISM. We express surprise that the government had secret deals to obtain personal data from Yahoo! and Facebook, but we shy from the big question of why Yahoo! and Facebook built whole business models around mining personal data in the first place.
When FOSS icon Pamela Jones shut down the Groklaw blog because of fears she could not protect the anonymity of her sources, she introduced a stark realism rarely seen in the high tech space when she said, "My personal decision is to get off the Internet to the degree that it is possible." [1] Our range of options varies depending on our social milieu and the demands of our professions. We can't all be as austere as Pamela Jones, but we can still play a role in defining the future of the Internet by exercising choice. Maybe the next time you sign up for an Internet service, you read the license carefully, and if you don't like the terms, you click "Decline" and tell the company why. Maybe you tell your friends you can't email them on their Gmail account, because the owners of Gmail have stated that mailing to a Gmail address offers "no legitimate expectation of privacy"? [2] Maybe you choose the smartphone with the best security instead of the one with the best camera.
The big Internet future is not downloaded to us by marketers and commentators: We have the power to shape it – by electing officials who are paying attention and by paying attention ourselves when we make consumer choices. Don't let anyone lull you into forgetting: "No" is a perfectly valid choice.

Rappolo is working out when he pulls a muscle in his neck. Michael White comes in while Rappolo is dealing with his discomfort. Michael is not a professional but offers to give a much needed massage to Rappolo. Rappolo agrees and Michael gets to work. Michael is rebuffed the first few times that he tries to make the massage more exciting, but finally Rappolo tells him to lock the door. Soon Rappolo is on the bench press in nothing but his jock strap. Michael starts teasing Rappolo's ass with his finger and the jock strap is soon off. Rappolo's neck is feeling much better now and he can take Michael's dick in both his holes.

There were times in the not-too-distant past when a beat writer could become somewhat isolated from the public. Feedback was then often limited to letters and the occasional phone call.
Royals Q&A: Clubs fast start has caught citys attention
April 12
By BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star
The email explosion changed that several years back, and the astonishing growth of social media interaction like this online exchange from Twitter questions virtually obliterates the chance to become isolated.
Or so I thought.
I spent the open date Thursday catching up on personal business, which included a trip to the doctor and that doctor, once he discovered what I did for a living, couldnt stop talking about the Royals.
Ive long believed Kansas City is a baseball town with a fan base simply aching for a team worthy of its passion. Still, the doctors enthusiasm caught me off-guard. I hadnt even known, from previous visits, that he was a fan.
Now, hes convinced this team is going to win 90-plus games, reach postseason and make some noise in October. He wanted no part of my cautionary responses, such as: I still think the Tigers are better.
The doctor is like many fans that Ive encountered over the years. He holds fond memories of the 1970s and 1980s. And he wants so hard to believe. I dont think hes alone.
The season isnt yet two weeks old, but the Royals, at 6-3, occupy first place in the American League Central Division (one game ahead of the Tigers) as they prepare to open a weekend series tonight against Toronto.
I dont know how much it means, in the long run, to be in first place on April 12, but I have a new appreciation for how much it means to a lot of people. This city wants to love this team.
If the Royals can play to their potential and maybe Im underestimating them by still putting the bar at finishing with a winning record it could be an interesting summer here in the Heartland for the first time in a long time.
On to the questions:
• @ebelden: How do hitters warm up to face a pitcher like Dickey? Footage, or is someone around to throw knuckleballs in BP?
Clubs have tried all sorts of things over the years, and theres no consensus (that Im aware of) that any single approach is best in preparing for a knuckleballer.
In part, thats because knuckleballs vary so much from pitcher to pitcher (the few pitchers who throw them, that is). Torontos R.A Dickey, who pitches Saturday, throws a harder-than-average knuckleball.
Dickey won the National League Cy Young Award last year by going 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA for the Mets, but hes 0-2 for the Blue Jays after permitting 12 runs and 15 hits in 10 2/3 innings in his first two starts.
• @ChuckJames919: are the royals a great team or the greatest team?
Once I would have just assumed this question was ironic snark or, at best, hopefully tongue-in-cheek. (And Im guessing it is one or the other but Im just guessing.)
Serious answer: Neither. But this is a club worth paying attention to.
• @blamberty: Any rumblings that the #Royals are hearing from teams that may be searching for pitching already (Cards, Halos)?
I havent heard anything yet, but there was interest in spring training, although that seemed directed mainly at efforts to acquire Luis Mendoza before he won the rotation spot over Bruce Chen and Luke Hochevar.
The Royals, I believe, are willing to listen to offers for Chen and Hochevar, but I sense they arent willing to eat any salary and want something of value in return.
• @P2Danaher: To what do you credit Francoeurs recent success at the plate?
This question (and others like it) seem based in the belief that Jeff Francoeur is going to be unplayably awful this season. Im guessing that stems from his very disappointing 2012 performance.
The Royals always believed he would be far better.
Francoeurs production this season insert small-sample-size disclaimer here offers some encouragement but is far from dynamic.
He enters the weekend at .286 (10 for 35), but he has just two RBIs in nine games. And his OPS+ is 99, which means he is still a tick below average.
• @chrisabe02: do you expect any prospects to be called up and seriously contribute to the club this season?
If you mean guys who have been here before such as Will Smith, Everett Teaford, Louis Coleman and Irving Falu almost certainly.
If youre referring to prospects yet to make their big-league debut such as Yordano Ventura, Christian Colon and Kyle Zimmer making a serious contribution, Id say thats less likely.
• @mll_ksu: at what point will the royals need to move the line up around to take some pressure off the young hitters?
What do you want them to do? There are a lot of young hitters in that lineup, but they need to produce for this team to be successful.
For example, if youre referring to Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas, both of those guys have logged over 1,000 plate appearances. Theyre young, but theyre not rookies.
• @MastTerBase: are the royals getting concerned with starlings development?
Ive heard no rumblings to that effect quite the opposite, in fact. But Bubba Starling, through Thursday, was two for 26 through seven games with 11 strikeouts at Lo-A Lexington. Thats not encouraging.
• @pfunk270: at what point will the royals look towards a big move?
Im not sure what that big move would be at this point. Where do you see a major problem through nine games?
Unless injuries force a major reassessment, most teams tend to wait at least 40 games or so to see how their roster shakes down. At least 40.
The feeling is that doing anything before that smacks of panic and, in effect, throws out the assessments and evaluations made throughout the off-season and spring training.
My guess and thats all it is at this point is the Royals, if they are in contention by the All-Star break, will closely examine a possible impact move prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
• @JordanDrew30: Do you consider Luke Hocheaver the last option out of the bullpen?
The Royals dont. Manager Ned Yost makes it clear that he views Hochevar as part of the late-inning setup mix with Kelvin Herrera, Aaron Crow and Tim Collins for closer Greg Holland.
• @huddleup0722: Level of concern for Hosmer and Moustakas? Not the kind of start we were all hoping for.
The Royals would like (and need) more from both but, again, were talking relatively small sample sizes. A three-for-four game tonight would pump up the numbers for either guy.
Even so, I get the point.
Its easier for the Royals to wait for Eric Hosmer to click because hes batting sixth, but Mike Moustakas is batting fourth after mashing his way through spring training.
Moose is six for 31 with one RBI in nine games. I dont know how long the Royals can live with that from their cleanup hitter.
• @TonyCankles: just wanna know the best place to stream the games!
Other than buying the MLB package, I dont have a good answer. Anyone?
