Troll Tech Announces Embedded GUI Toolkit
Troll Tech announced in March that it is developing Qt/Embedded, a new GUI toolkit for embedded Linux systems. The toolkit aims to provide embedded systems developers with the same power and cross-platform portability as the desktop versions of Qt, Qt/Windows and Qt/X11.
Linux users will recognize Qt as the GUI toolkit that powers the popular K Desktop Environment (KDE), now a standard component of most Linux distributions including Caldera OpenLinux 2.4, Linux Mandrake 7.0, Corel Linux 1.0, Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Slackware 7.0.
Unlike Troll Tech's Qt/X11 product for Linux, Qt/Embedded does not require the X Window System. Instead, Qt/Embedded applications access the Linux frame buffer directly. Removing X reduces the memory requirements of the toolkit drastically, leaving more memory available for applications.
While Troll Tech is not aiming to replace X, it may do so in some cases. Qt/Embedded includes its own windowing system, allowing multiple applications to run with overlapping windows. Qt/Embedded will not, however, provide remote display capabilities like X. Qt/Embedded also provides its own support for TrueType fonts, a function normally provided by X.
Because Qt/Embedded is source-code compatible with Qt 2.1, any application that works with Qt 2.1 can be built with Qt/Embedded. In fact, a version of KDE has already been tested with Qt/Embedded. It's unlikely that all the current KDE and Qt applications will begin showing up on embedded devices. However, certain applications, such as the Qt version of the Mozilla browser, are obvious candidates for an embedded device.
KDE's success has been an asset to Troll Tech. It certainly can't hurt the future of Qt/Embedded to have a growing number of open-source developers around the world familiar with Qt development.
The Qt/Embedded API will be identical to the existing API used in Qt 2.1, allowing applications to be portable from UNIX and Windows desktops to embedded systems. Developers can use either Qt or X11 to develop their application, allowing them to leverage a huge base of desktop tools. The application can be deployed on the target system simply by rebuilding with Qt/Embedded.
Qt/X11's original license caused many concerns in Linux and Open Source communities due to its restrictions on commercial usage. Qt did not meet the official open-source definition, preventing KDE from being included in some Linux distributions. In response, Troll Tech developed the Q Public License (QPL), a new, less-restrictive license that qualifies as open source. The new license has been a significant factor in the success of both Qt and KDE.
Qt/Embedded application programmers will need to purchase a Development Kit license under terms similar to the Qt Professional Edition. There will also be a run-time license for each device in which Qt/Embedded is installed.
If you're an open-source developer, the licensing terms might not sound very inviting to you. Learning from past licensing problems, Troll Tech hasn't forgotten the open-source developer. Although details have not been finalized, Troll Tech plans to make available a free edition of the Development Kit that will make it possible to write open-source applications for use on devices with Qt/Embedded already installed.
Up until now, talking about Qt in the Linux community meant Qt/X11. With Qt/Embedded on the way, Linux developers have more options. Linux has continued to garner interest in the embedded systems market, and an advanced GUI toolkit such as Qt will make Linux that much more attractive.
The general release of Qt/Embedded is targeted for the third quarter of this year, with OEMs receiving pre-releases earlier. At the time of publication, Troll Tech had not yet announced pricing details for the run-time licenses or the Developer Kit.

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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. 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.

Since the Court upheld Obamacare, small business owners have gone from denial to outright anger. Many entrepreneurs are focusing on figuring out what moves they can make to gum up the works and prove healthcare reform was a bad idea and offer a case study on why it will fail. Some of the top threats: Firing workers instead of hiring, stop providing health insurance altogether and pay the $2K penalty, or even going so far as to shutter their businesses. [View news story]

This is one of the reasons we include a link to all insider transactions for each company in the post. We also compute the percentage change on the total holdings on the buy side when possible. The primary challenge with doing this lies with the fact that often insiders hold stock directly as well as through various entities like trusts, retirement plans, etc. -

Don't tell anyone, but Massachusetts is kind of a big nerd. We simply love science and nature. You could say it's in our nature, with scenic roads like the lovely Mohawk Trail, 1500 miles of postcard pretty coastline, and some of America's most brilliant fall foliage. We could spend hours at the Museum of Science, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and wish we could live at the Franklin Park Zoo or maybe the Butterfly Place, surrounded by colorful creatures. And don't even get us started on the New England Aquarium, fully renovated in 2013.

First let me say that I am 39, and have very long, fine hair, but a lot of it. My hair thickness was never an issue until a couple years ago — in fact, I've always gotten a LOT of compliments on my long dark hair. Let's just say that after a divorce, a little health scare, some hormonal issues, and very stressful international move — all in the space of a year — I lost quite a bit of hair. And it terrified me. I started taking Appearex, and began to see some growth (and long, strong nails), but after I started taking Viviscal daily too, I saw a major difference. After a year on both (one pill of each a day), my hair is finally getting back to where it was.I started taking Viviscal because I read that it's what a lot of models take since their hair takes such a beating. It absolutely works. But you have to give it time and stay the course. It will take months for you to really see a major difference, but you will.I plan on taking this supplement forever. It's worth every penny!

I tried this product for over 5 months. After two months I saw no imporovement in my hair whatsoever. I was so disappointed because I saw all of these glowing reviews and really placed a lot of hope in this product since I am a female who has been suffering with thinning hair. The product says to try for 6 months so I continued for several more months and to be honest, saw no improvement after all that time, and even more hair loss. I thought how convenient it is to say to try something for 6 months. By that time you've invested in over $300 dollars for nothing. Very disappointing and would not recommend. Just my honest personal experience.

I've been using Viviscal for several months and have noticed some new growth. I also noticed new packaging with my most recent purchase, and the booklet on the inside clearly states that it is made with SHARK (emphasis theirs) - a little detail that wasn't on the old packaging. It also references "imported ingredients" without going into detail. As of this writing, I see no mention of shark in the ingredients listed on drugstore.com.

No new hair growth after 6 months.

describe yourself Health Conscious, Healthy Menopausal Stress
I've been taking this for 6 months now with multi vitamins for menopause. My hair is falling out excessively when I shampoo 2x a week and while brushing daily. I have a very healthy diet, am height weight proportionate and exercise. I am very stressed, but also have been in younger years and never suffered thinning like now. It grows fast in length, but those that say they notice a big difference in a month is doubtful. They aren't mentioning NEW hair growth. I just want thickness. My hair is very fine and has thinned 1/3 since stressful divorce and menopause. I'm nowhere nearing baldness, but still lack the fullness I felt this product would provide. Neither my hair dresser nor I notice any increased NEW hair growth at all. :(

Did not work for me...BUT
By Rosalind
from Fort Worth, TX
My entire family is blessed with beautiful, thick hair. I went through a terrible divorce & thought stress was the reason for my hair thinning. Used this product for over a year. Unfortunately, hair loss increased. Then my body got so achy, I could hardly move. Doctor did tests...I was extremely low in Vitamim D. Put me on a mega dose & within a week, the pains went away. More important, almost no hair loss in the shower. You can imagine how happy I was. I was shocked that one vitamin could be so important. My advice, check your Vitamin D before it gets as low as mine. BTW, I continue to take this product, hoping to regain what I've lost. Good luck.
Take 2 tablets daily for a minimum of 3-6 months (1 in the morning & 1 in the evening) taken with water after food. Take as part of the complete Viviscal program as required. Viviscal tablets are easy to swallow. Store in a dry place & avoid excessive heat.

Convicted killer Troy Anthony Davis is getting another chance to prove his innocence.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Davis' request for a hearing in the federal district court in Savannah.
Davis was convicted for the 1989 murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail and has been on death row since his conviction in 1991.
Since then, seven witnesses have recanted their testimony and an effort to free Davis has gained both national and international attention.
Over the years, he's filed numerous appeals and received several stays of execution.
Georgia's high court issued a stay three days before Davis' scheduled execution on Oct. 27, 2008. It was the third time since July, 2007, that Davis has been spared the death penalty by a late court decision.
In December, 2008, Davis' lawyers filed the appeal with the 11th Circuit Court, the last place they could bring their case for a new trial for Davis.
That request was denied, but then in April, defense lawyers appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court for the case to have another hearing.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Davis' request for a hearing in federal court in Georgia.
Now, a Georgia federal judge must decide if there is enough evidence to prove that Davis did not murder MacPhail.
Justice John Paul Stevens, along with justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were all in favor of sending the case back to the federal district court in Savannah.
Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas however, disagreed with the court's decision. In an opinion, Scalia said that to grant Davis another hearing is like sending Georgia's federal court "on a fool's errand."
But justices Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer say there is "adequate justification" for an evidentiary hearing if it means not putting a potentially innocent man to death.
According to the US Supreme Court's public information office, it's unclear how John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito voted in the case.
However, officials say at least two of those justices would have also to have voted in favor of Davis for the case to be sent to Georgia's federal court for a hearing.
Newly appointed Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor did not participate in this order.
To read the entire opinion from Justice Scalia, click here.
To read the entire opinion from Justice Stevens, click here.
Davis supporters have also asked Chatham County district attorney Larry Chisolm to reopen the case and in June, delivered a petition with thousands of signatures to the DA's office.
See Davis supporters want DA to reopen case.
However, Chisolm has said he wants the final appeal process to play out before making any decisions.
Monday, Chisolm issued a statement in response to the US Supreme Court's decision:
"In a very unusual move, the United States Supreme Court has transferred the petition of Troy Anthony Davis to the local federal court. The Supreme Court further instructed the local federal court to receive testimony and make findings of fact on whether there is evidence that was not presented at the trial 19 years ago, that clearly establishes that Troy Anthony Davis is innocent.The citizens of Chatham County should be clear in their understanding that this is not a new trial of the case before a jury. The hearing of this case before a federal judge affords Troy Davis the opportunity to have any evidence that supports his innocence claim that was found after the trial to be heard all at one time in court. As a result, the case could continue to execution, be sent back for re-trial or appealed once again. We do not expect a quick outcome in any event. The District Attorney's Office has no public comment on the substance of the Court's ruling or the facts of this case until the federal courts have concluded their hearings and appeals. The State will be represented in the local federal hearing by Georgia State Attorney General Thurbert Baker and his office."

Smith receives HU research fellowship
Huntington, Ind.—Dr. Tim Smith, assistant professor of history, has been selected as the 2010 recipient of the Huntington University Research Fellowship.
Smith has two goals for his research. The primary goal is to produce a monograph tentatively titled "Churchill, America and Vietnam." According to Smith, the book would be a review of the Anglo-American World War II trusteeship debate for colonial territories, post-hostilities planning and colonial development. Though historiographies of Churchill exist, Smith suggests that this one is different because it will focus on the British high-policy debate toward the non-British colonial territory of Vietnam.
"The study reflects a new perspective on Churchill's leadership in relation to an issue that could result in multiple British policy denouements," Smith said in his proposal. "It will reveal that Churchill was prepared to sacrifice Vietnam for the sake of his "special" relationship with America – much to the chagrin of the rest of the British establishment who feared that a precedent would be established for the decolonization of the British Empire."
The secondary goal of Smith's project will be to present a paper, provisionally titled "Churchill: The troubled face of Christian biography," at the Conference of Faith and History in the fall of 2010. The paper will stem from his research for the monograph and will "explore problems associated with great men of history and their self-confidence in their leadership abilities." The paper will discuss how urban myths have been utilized by Churchill and others to bolster the divine destiny in times of crisis, which may have prevented historians from producing credible history.
To date, this has been a two year project for Smith and his plan is to turn in a final draft manuscript to Palgrave Macmillan Publishers near the end of 2011. In 2007 Palgrave Macmillan published Smith's "Britain and the Origins of the Vietnam War" and it was an independent peer reviewer of this work that suggested that a project concerning Churchill and Vietnam would be of value to the academic community.
"It is encouraging to see the level of research interest that we have among our faculty," said Dr. Norris Friesen, vice president and dean. "I am glad that we have the opportunity to fund at least some of the research proposals."
Smith joined the faculty in the fall of 2007, having previously taught history at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. Smith is also the director of the Centre for Non-Western Studies and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
The Huntington University Research Fellowship was established in 2005 as a means of recruiting and retaining faculty members by providing funded opportunities for research. One $5000 fellowship is awarded annually to cover the costs associated with the research project in addition to a reduction to the recipients course load. The recipient's salary also is funded for the term of the fellowship. Faculty members are encouraged to submit proposals to the Friesen and the Faculty Appointments and Tenure Committee will make a final selection. Smith was chosen from four applicants.
Faculty who have taught at least two years at Huntington University are eligible to apply for the fellowship. Candidates must have a record of acceptable teaching performance to qualify for the award as determined by FATC, and some preference will be given to faculty prior to tenure and up to his/her first sabbatical leave.

Marketing And Branding
The Facilities Management Connection
Not only is cleaning the largest component of the facilities budget, but it is also the most visible piece of the management function — and, it has an impact on occupant health and hygiene.
Becoming A Certified Germ Killer
While some companies and facilities have taken active steps to develop internal training and certification programs, there are several organizations that can provide effective curriculum resources and help educate workers.
Building Loyalty Through Consulting
Many contractors and distributors have become their customers' "experts" when it comes to building maintenance — helping facilities managers lower overall operating costs, transfer to green cleaning strategies and become more sustainable.
Avoid The Winter Blues And Bruises With Floor Mats
According to statistical data from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), slips, trips and falls cause 15 percent of all accidental deaths — second only to automobile accidents in the number of fatalities. One solution often taken for granted is floor mats, which come in all styles, sizes and shapes.
Best Buys For 2013
Sponsored by Buckeye International, TTI Floor Care North America's Hoover brand, ProTeam and Windsor, we give you a snapshot of some of the tools, products and equipment that can help you and your staffs meet the various challenges you will face throughout the coming year.
Five Website Mistakes To Avoid
Some owners believe that, once a website is created and live, their work is done. However, developing a site is just the beginning; consistent maintenance is the key to generating repeat traffic and interest from customers.
Clean It Or Outsource It?
Your decision to outsource or become a subcontractor hinges on a balance of comfort and control versus savings from third-party efficiencies and economies of scale.
The Business Of Housecleaning Goes Commercial
When we formed the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI), we knew that we needed to develop a program of instruction and certification for technicians and that it would have to be a peer-reviewed, industry-wide accepted program.
The Cleaning Bell Rings
Instead of trying to get more people to come the ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show and fudging the numbers when they don't show up, we should take the show to the masses via live streaming video on the Internet.

Teaching prospective design engineers how to use industry standard design tools like CATIA is an important part of the Engineering Technology curriculum at Western Washington University (WWU). Despite the department's focus on advanced technology, each student had to carry two to three heavy, paper-based, software text books per course. With more than 200 students enrolled in these CAD design courses each year, the amount of paper used was also an environmental concern for this progressive university.

You probably saw this in Ann's all-OIT email last week, but it's important and I wanted to repeat it here:
OIT's senior management team has charged a committee from various areas across the department to address necessary OIT workstation security improvements. It is the senior management team's position that OIT should be a leader in upholding University computer security standards.
OIT Security has identified several practices currently being used on OIT computers that could lead to security breaches:
- Use of secondary applications such as Flash, QuickTime, Acrobat, and Java that are not up-to-date with security patches are a leading contributor to computer infections.
- Excess old data files
- Unlocked and unattended workstations
- Machines routinely run with administrative privileges when not needed
- Non-encrypted laptops
- Excess personal use of University computers can lead to susceptibility from unsecured Web sites and malware
By becoming early adopters and leaders of responsible and secure computing practices at the University, OIT is positioned to set the example for the rest of the University. What can you as an individual do to help raise computer security awareness and keep University computers and data more secure? Here are just a few ways:
- Lock your computer when you leave your work area
- Delete your temporary and cached files
- Reduce the amount of private data stored on desktop and laptop computers
- Managers should make sure that all laptops in their areas are encrypted
- Reduce the time running your computer as administrator and other high-risk practices
In addition, the committee is working on plans to address these issues. Much of the work to be done as identified by the committee will be performed by FAST staff. FAST staff also will continue to encrypt Mac laptops, and plans to push more secondary application updates to Windows clients are being developed, as well. The plan is to have the identified issues significantly mitigated by March 15.
We need to realize that, as part of Operations and Infrastructure, we support the most critical components of the University enterprise: databases, production services, data center, systems administration, storage, backups, disaster recovery planning. As such, it is even more important for us to protect access to our systems. Please take a moment this week to review your security settings. In particular, set your screensaver to lock your screen if you are away. That way, your computer should be safe even if you forget to lock your screen or logout when you go to meetings.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The Justice Department sued Home Depot on Thursday, alleging that the home-improvement retailer broke the law by firing an Iraq war veteran and National Guard reservist from a northern Arizona store.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Arizona, alleges that Brian Bailey was fired from his job as a department supervisor at a Flagstaff Home Depot in May 2010 for his periodic absences from work because of his military obligations.
That would be a violation of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.
Home Depot spokesman Stephen Holmes said the Atlanta-based company fired Bailey for legitimate, performance-based reasons unrelated to his military duties. He declined to provide specifics.
"We would never tolerate the termination of one of our military associates for anything other than legitimate reasons unrelated to military service," he said.
Holmes said the retailer is assessing its options about whether to fight the lawsuit.
The lawsuit calls on Home Depot Inc. to declare that firing Bailey violated the law, pay him lost wages and benefits, and hire him again.
The lawsuit alleges that Home Depot management openly expressed their displeasure with Bailey's periodic absences and expressed their desire to fire him because of them.
"The men and women who wear our nation's uniform need to know that they do not have to sacrifice their job at home in order to serve our country," said Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for the civil rights division.

Adult Book Discussion
Date: Tue. January 22, 2013
Time: 6:30 pm
6083 N. Northwest Highway
About this event:
Join us for a discussion of 'The Third Man,' by Graham Greene.
... against the backdrop of the strangely, silent streets of postwar Vienna, this follows the search for the thirdman said to have witnessed the death of Harry Lime as it is undertaken by Rollo Martins. The case here, the use of occasional characterization, the unrelieved and undeviating tension demonstrate again a mastery of this medium.'
(Kirkus Reviews, June 15, 1950)

This was back before email, so our relationship took place over handwritten love letters and the occasional phone call. I would imagine well-soundtracked reunions in my head, complete with tears and long, lustful kisses -- something slightly "Reality Bites" with a splash of "Far & Away." (It was 1995, after all.)
When it was finally time for my college man to come home for summer, I had all but convinced myself that we would continue our romance and soon find ourselves with college degrees and a marriage license. Sadly, two weeks after his return, he still hadn't called, and I did what most 17-year-olds with heartbreak did back then: I put on Tori Amos, threw a big old tantrum, and told myself that I would never fall in love like that again.
Of course, I was wrong. I fell in love like that again within the month. I fell in love like that again and again over the years. Because, as I wrote in my memoir, "51 Weeks / 50 Dates: The Magical Adventures of a Single Life," I always fell in love with people who never called. And the only thing worse was if they actually did.
I liked jerks. No, I loved them, but now, looking back, I realize it wasn't just that. For the most part, every man who failed to call me was capable of calling someone else, and at a certain point, I had to face the fact that it wasn't just them, it was me. I begged for men to be unaccountable. I allowed them to be untrustworthy. And I expected them to leave.
Unfortunately, by the age of 32, those ideas had also left me incredibly, terribly alone. I hadn't been in a relationship in five years, and I had never lived with a man. Ever. My father left when I was 3, and I spent my formative years living with a mother and a grandmother. No man ever slept in our woman castle. It was like a small, two-bedroom convent that doubled as a condo. And as I entered adulthood, it stayed that way. There were boyfriends, sure, but we were either too young or too casual to make it a co-habitation.
"That's pretty telling," my therapist Lidia tells me. I should point out that Lidia is more than a typical shrink. She is also a trained shaman and spiritual healer. Whereas many of the therapists I had seen in the past just took my money and listened to me blab, Lidia participated in the conversation. "What do you think has stopped you until now?"
Until now. Because halfway through that 32nd year, all of my work in therapy had begun to pay off. I had changed. I had taken a hard look at all the reasons I invited the wrong men in or asked them to behave wrongly, and I began to meet a number of men who were accountable, who were trustworthy, who stayed. And I befriended them, until one of them became more than just a friend.
Theo and I had been buddies for years when we finally engaged in the fateful hook-up that made it all happen. Six months later, a one-bedroom became available in my apartment building, and as one friend said, "Well, I guess you're old enough to figure out whether it's going to sink or swim from the start." And she was right. Because if I want a husband and I want a family, I might as well start by moving in with a man.
Things were going relatively well until two weeks in when Theo told me his back was killing him.
"It must be surfing," I shrugged.
"Surfing doesn't hurt my back. It's your bed."
I tried to ignore this. I loved my bed. It had been with me through bright days and dark days. I have loved on that mattress; more often I cried. By the third day of Theo waking up crimped, and me refusing to trade in my trusty full-size bed (all the better to snuggle in, my dear) for a queen, I forced myself to look back at Lidia's words: "What has stopped you until now?"
And I think it had everything to do with that mattress. I loved lying in my double bed reminiscing about who had slept there and all the memories with which I taunted myself. I loved being heartbroken, listening to Tori Amos, and sobbing into my pillow about one man or another. Because what had stopped me until then was that I had spent years loving like that, but never learning how to love someone the right way. I didn't know how not to judge someone for leaving the sponge in the sink, to trust him enough to get rid of my beloved full-size bed for a queen, to love him even when I found myself picking up stinky socks in the corner of the room.
By Saturday, my doubled-over man was practically begging me for a new bed. "Besides," he offered, "it will be our bed. No other mojo would have been in it."
And I realized that what he was offering me was a fresh start, and what I could offer him was a healthy back. I could let go of the drama-infused relationships of the past for one that included paying the gas bill and doing laundry together. And it was finally time for me to graduate from my tear-stained mattress and relationships that only ended in heartbreak.
Today, I cleaned our bedroom. I put away his clothes, threw his socks in the wash, and sat down on our beautiful, new queen-size bed. I looked around at the marriage of our artwork and books, and I remembered back to when I was that scared 17-year-old girl crying to Tori.
This was all she really wanted. She just wanted someone who would start anew with her every day, someone who would wash away the pain from those who came before. And though it might have taken me longer than most, I have finally stopped falling in love like that.
Now I fall in love like this.

Selena – No Quiero Saber (English Translation) lyrics
I Don't Want to Hear*
Please remember! This translation is my personal work. It is sometimes difficult to translate word for word from Spanish to English, so it may sound awkward in one languange when it is perfectly natural in the other. But I think you can get the general idea!
I don't want to hear about more problems already
I don't want to hear about a world war
Make tomorrow a day worthy of waiting for
If we all love one another, the world will change
There's a place full of music and fun
That's why I only invite those who are young at heart
There's lots of harmony, always happiness
We only know how to enjoy ourselves, day and night
Don't be sad anymore, come sing with me
Throw your sorrows to the wind, today we're going to have fun
Life is so beautiful, live each day
Without measuring it, live it to the fullest
*Literally would say "I Don't Want to Know," but saber can mean "to hear about" or "to have (something) to do with."
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/selena/no_quiero_saber_english_translation.html

And this year, very often. I'm not sure I follow what you're getting at?
I've seen quite a few argue about how signing 3 year contracts will cripple our ability to sign others in the next couple years when we'll supposedly be competing. Not on this thread necessarily, but a few others. The last three years payroll has been fine...in the next quite a few it should be real low.
And just for giggles, I liked how people keep talking about how Mauer's payroll is gonna cripple us because of the percentage of payroll his salary takes up and I'm like, well, if payroll keeps dropping, that percentage will keep going up :-)
It's a scary read. Maybe the worst part is when he talks about ancient scouting reports from Correia's time in SF and SD (when he still mostly sucked, though in a somewhat different way).
I just hope TR stops with the excuses when his Correia experiment fails gruesomely.
Look at what KC gave up for Shields. The absolute dumbest thing the Twins could be doing right now is playing that game. Trading away top-shelf prospects for a starter when you're coming off back-to-back 90+ loss seasons is not a winning formula. I was all for trying to pry Shields away from Tampa but after seeing what KC gave up for the guy, there is no way the Twins should have been in the mix... It would have required Span and Sano to get him at that point. Not smart.
And where is the Twins track record of being able to identify these previously unseen skills in pitchers, was it Marquis? Ponson? R.Martinez, Hernandez, etc. The Twins don't have a track record of "fixing" pitchers with poor skill set, if anything, many of them get worse when the arrive here and then rebound slightly when moving on somewhere else.
I dunno. Your statement implies that Meyer is a sure thing. Sano definitely isn't even a sure thing at this point. Both have question marks left to erase from their resumes. Wil Myers was far closer to a sure thing and the trade would have looked even better if Twins could have found a way to get Wade Davis in the deal- he has turned out to be a top-notch set-up man.
I would say getting Shields locked up to the end of his effective career would have been the bridge to the next wave of talent, improved the immediate outlook, affordably, over 2013 and 14- and encouraged the rest of the players in the league to sit up and take notice that the Twins are serious about becoming relevant again.
By direct contrast to the basket of question marks in paragraph one, Shields is pretty much a sure thing. He's averaged nearly 4.0 WAR over the last 6 seasons, giving you 200+ quality innings and 33 starts (5 years in a row) standing on his head. Only 4 guys have pitched more innings during that time. Shields is very cheap for '13 and '14. He just turned 31 in December, which means a 4-year extension out to 2018 would have Shields at the top of the rotation through his age 36 year, fit within the very low projected payroll after 2014, coincide when the impact prospects are becoming key (and very cheap!) key cogs in 2015, AND close his contract out the same year as Mauer.
Did I mention that it now will be much easier to match or exceed his numbers pitching in the AL Central vs. the meat-grinding AL East, plus the addition of at least a couple starts vs. the Astros?
Maybe some argue that, but I don't think that's how Ryan is approaching it. I'm more or less repeating myself from past posts. Say the window for contending opens in 2015, with 2014 as a "transition year", and in 2015 the current salary commitments are essentially Mauer plus rookies and a few contracts like Perkins. I'll concentrate on starting pitching. So you have a lot of flexibility for 2015 and forward, until some of the youngsters start to earn the arbitration dough. Do you commit some of that flexibility now, because some free agent is so desirable that only a 3-year or higher commitment will land him (and you want him for that long or longer because he's so good)? Doing that, you accept the risk that he blows out his arm in 2013 or 2014. If instead you wait until the next off-season, other valuable free agents will come along, and then you are only risking 2014 in the hope of getting a good pitcher for 2015 and onward. And, if you wait another offseason, now you can sign someone good, to a 3-year contract that covers years of actual contention, and without assuming any degree of risk for the dead years of 2013-14. Of course, the risk is always there for as long as a pitcher is under contract, but it's the question of potential reward in exchange for that risk: making 2013 marginally better toward a .500 club, or pushing the 2015-16 team over the top. So, the way I was hoping Ryan would do it is try to make 2013 marginally better through 1- and 2-year signings. Correia is the right length of contract in this view, I just don't think he was the right guy.
It's not like a signing now might downright cripple the 2015 team. But a signing later on may prove to be more able to address the needs at that time.
Whenever you sign anyone you take on risk...no matter what time frame of team building you're at. Twins can afford to take on those kind of risks from now till likely 2016, 2017 without hindering the team in the least...at any year...cause payroll is just going to drop next year and the year after and the year after that...Morny, Carroll, Blackburn, Willigham, Doumit...all that payroll is gone by 2015 season....being replaced by very cheap players coming up.
And signing a guy to a three year contract now, won't hurt any ability to sign people from 2016 on...they'll be off the books by then....and payroll will still be low. There is zero downside. None.

H.S. wrestling: Bergen Catholic tops Don Bosco
ORADELL — Troy Schaafsma wasn't happy when he came off the mat Wednesday, head hung low as the wrestler he'd beaten earlier in the season had his hand raised in victory.
But given a second chance to make a difference for Bergen Catholic on Friday, the junior wasn't about to let anything stop him.
Schaafsma turned Don Bosco's Andrew Rosensweig on his back with 40 seconds remaining to win one of the key swing bouts at 126 pounds as the Crusaders held off the rival Ironmen, 32-24, to win their 15th North Non-Public A championship.
The Crusaders will face South champion Christian Brothers in a rematch of last year's state championship won by BC.
"I told [coaches] Joe [Trause] and Bryan [Nunziato] that I wasn't giving up on anybody," said Schaafsma, who lost his match in Wednesday's sectional semifinal against St. Joseph. "I was going to do what I had to do for the team."
"That was a huge win for us," BC coach Dave Bell said of Schaafsma's 3-1 victory over Rosensweig. "The other night he had a tough loss and was pretty down. But we talked to him and he said he was ready for [Friday]."
And, typical for these fierce rivals, each team took out all the stops in a rematch of Bergen Catholic's 26-24 victory over Bosco just two weeks ago in the regular season.
Bosco, which lost in the final bout the first time, pulled its biggest surprise at the weigh-ins when the team weighed in nationally-ranked, 106-pounder Kyle Bierdumpfel at 113, away from BC's Nick Suriano, and cut state-ranked Luke Farinaro from 170 to 160.
"When they first stepped on the scale, it looked like the odds were stacked against us," Bell said. "[Bosco coach Chris Bitetto] made some brilliant moves. He had his guys stacked to win."
Bosco opened up a 7-0 lead on a major decision from Razohnn Gross at 195 and a three-point decision by Zack Chakonis over BC's Christian Jenco.

Prep softball: Eskelson sisters set pace for Olympus
By Anthony Cusumano
Special to The Tribune
First published Apr 10 2013 02:05PMHaylee Eskelson admits it's slightly irritating having her older sister, Niki, as a teammate.
But she readily acknowledges that nothing can beat the camaraderie and pure joy that comes from playing with a sibling.
"It's fun, but sometimes it gets annoying having to do what she says," Haylee said about her sister. "I always have someone I can talk to. It's going to be weird next year because there won't always be that person I can talk to or who understands the way she does. I like having her on my team."
The Eskelsons are a big reason why Olympus' softball team is making noise in Region 7 ahead of the state tournament. Haylee, a sophomore, was 4-2 in the circle entering the week, while Niki, a senior, was 2-2. Haylee had one double, while Niki had four doubles and a triple at the plate.
After a lackluster preseason, Olympus opened region with a 4-1 victory over rival Murray then outscored West Jordan and Skyline 21-1. The Titans were just 6-6 overall, but more importantly, 2-1 in region play entering the week.
"It's been a little up and down, but I feel we're starting to gel together now," Titans coach Cyndee Bennett said. "We're making good strides now in getting used to playing with each other. We're putting it all together."
Meanwhile, the Eskelsons are beginning their second high school season together. Niki is a four-year varsity player, while Haylee is coming off a solid freshman campaign. Niki is a corner infielder when she doesn't pitch, while Haylee plays up the middle, providing a little extra sisterly support.
"It's super fun playing with her because we work very well together," Niki said. "When we have a problem, I know how she works and what type of player she is. She can come in for me [to pitch], and I can trust her. We talked about playing together all the time growing up. Now she'll be taking my spot next year."
Despite a two-year age difference, the sisters occasionally played on the same youth team when Haylee would be called up to fill a position on Niki's team. The experience of playing with older players made Haylee more comfortable once she arrived at Olympus and immediately stepped into the circle.
"When you come in as a freshman, you don't know what to expect," Bennett said. "There's always a big jump from your freshman to sophomore year."
Bennett says the Eskelsons act as the perfect coach for each other.
"They're great teammates and help each other out," Bennett said. "They know what the other person needs to be successful. If I get on them, the other one picks her up. They talk to each other before I have to. I have 100 percent confidence in both of them. I don't distinguish between the two. A lot of times it comes down to what combination of defense we put behind them."
While things aren't always peachy-keen between the sisters, Niki said they are determined to make their team successful on the diamond.
Both sisters also excel at the plate. Niki is the power hitter, leading the team in home runs last season, while Haylee hits for a high average. In the circle, both have solid control and hit their spots consistently, Bennett said.
Things indeed will be different next season, when Niki departs for Concordia University in Nebraska and Haylee returns for her junior year.
"I'm going to miss having her on the team," said Haylee, who aspires to play at Stanford or BYU. "It's going to be different."

This celebrity baby nursery was designed for Lisa and Buddy Valastro. They didn't want to know the baby's gender before birth; the gender neutral nursery is a compromise of the mother's desire to have an elegant, traditional nursery without a theme and the father's desire for a jungle safari nursery theme with animals. The giraffe family wall hanging and a few subtle touches of safari accessories add the jungle theme to the otherwise traditional nursery.

Even before the world had seen the iPad, the promise of Lemur was a touchable interface that could become anything – a Star Trek-like world in which you could touch fluid controls directly to make live music and visuals.
The reality, though, was more limited. Users were limited to a library of widgets. That included useful controls, like knobs, faders, and even more far-out physics-enabled X/Y pads, buct widgets, nonetheless.
A major update to Lemur this week blows that wide open, in two ways. First, it overhauls how sequencing works, with both tighter timing and new objects, ideal for use with MIDI gadgets. Second, it has a widget interface that can become just about anything.

To the people who, like me, were praying for an update even though the last one was in 2006- The story liiveees! As you may see from other reviews, there has been an update and you can finally read chapter 39 here -> http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?chapterid=435069&i=1
And to the author herself, if she reads this: I know it is hard to keep up with the writing, but I am so glad you do, and thank you so much for this story. And honestly I don't care how much time it takes you to finish it, as long as I know that you will. Thank you and keep writing: you are amazing.
OMG! Please don't tell me the story end here! I'm dying to see them together!!!
what happened? whaaaaat
I have read all 38 chapters when will you finish the story. Your story kept me on the edge.
hey, are you going to update this any time soon? i've read this recently in my spare time and have been asking myself the same question everyone's been wondering about:
love reread one of fav d/h fic....
the story's brilliant
plzzzzzzzzz update it soon
will you NEVER update???
Cliffhanger ending?? Come on!
I know that this was made before the sixth and seventh book, so it's hard to read in that aspect since it's so different, but I like your rendemption of it, haha!(:
I've said this a countless number of times and that is, you probably don't even visit this site anymore because thi is your only story and it looks to me that it's doing reasonably well on the reviews, seeing how it has the most of any story.
As for the stoy, it was interesting. We know Lucius Malfoy would never let his son marry a muggle-born, but she was right in saying that he wanted his son to marry her just so he could become popular again with the wizardin world. I enjoyed his chapter now I'm movingnkn to the next!!!(:
Dear Sparx,
I've been a fan of TUP for nearly four years now, and it's been killing me ever since that I never knew how Draco and Hermione's story ended. So with that, I've spent months writing this story and have tried my best to make it as faithful to yours as possible (with a few tweaks here and there).
I've started with my own version of chapter 39 and I really hope you approve, because you've inspired me so much all these years. Rest assured, whenever you decide to finish this story, I'm sure it'll still be the better than whatever I come up with. :)
Still, I hope you'll check it out and drop me a comment about what you think! Thanks! :)
Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8149222/1/The_Unseemly_Proposal
fantastic! I was bellylaughing through the entire chapter!
Everybody, Sparks HAS updated as of late 2011, although I can't confirm whether or not it really is her, search scarlet_sparxx on Harrypotterfanfiction for chapter 39!
Dear Sparx,
I LOOOOVE your writing. It is amazing. In fact this chapter i cried because of how awesomely it was written and the intensity of it all. But please update!!!!!!!! It has been over a year since younlast updated. PLEASE update.
FYI to those of you waiting for an update - I found chapter 39 on harrypotterfanfiction.com. Hope we get an update in 2012!
And then what happened??? How dare you leave us hanging!!! I hope you decide to pick up this story again. It is the most read fic on the site for a reason : )
what happened?:o

Hellish Nightmare...
If seventeen-year-old Seth Bradson were to describe his life in two words, those would be the two he'd choose. Seth prefers to cope with his crappy existence by spending his days in a drug-induced haze. But when Ali Carson steps into his life, Seth finds something he's subconsciously been seeking; a new drug, one that consumes his mind unlike any other.
In a moment of unforgivable weakness, Seth allows Ali to try crystal meth, his most addictive temptation. This single event begins the unraveling of both their lives and forces Seth to learn the definition of regret the hard way.
And now I have a short interview with the author!
As to what inspired me, I can't really say because I'm unsure of that myself. I'd never even read a young adult contemporary book before writing Shattered Soul. In fact, I posted the first five pages on a writer site (QueryTracker.net) asking what genre people thought it was because I had no clue.
It's such a heavy subject that I had to take breaks from reading it because it's just so spot on real. Was it hard for you to write such a dark story? How did you manage it without going into a dark place yourself?
Writing Seth's story I never felt drawn into my own dark places or into those I've known who have been in a similar situation to Seth's. I guess it was sort of therapeutic in a way. This story is just simply one that came to me so rapidly and so intensely, I just knew there was no way that I couldn't write it.
If you were to find a person in Seth's situation what would your advice be to them?
This is a hard one to answer without giving any of the story away, but my advise to Seth would be: don't give up. People can over come their life situations.
I know you have some other books out (or one now and another soon?), can you tell us a bit about them?
I do have a novella titled Touch out and a short story that goes along with it titled Choice. These are both back stories for a full length young adult paranormal romance novel I'll be releasing in the second half of 2012 titled Hereafter, which follows a seventeen year old girl named Rowan Harper who is forced into a high ranking position on the Reaper's Council and what happens after. Touch is Rowan's story of how she came to be in that position, and Choice is her love interest, Jet's story of how he came to be Reaper number 142 of the East Physical Realm. When reading these back stories, I recommend that you read Touch first and then Choice.
* My note:
Addiction can be a two sided coin and I hope that Shattered Soul shows people both sides. For some, the lifestyle of an addict is what they are raised around and all that they know. It's how they see others deal with their problems and so it becomes normal. For others, it's simply one bad choice, one moment of peer pressure that changes their life forever. Especially when methamphetamine is involved.
Are some of the scenes in Shattered Soul things that I myself have witnessed or been through in my own personal life? Some, yes. What writer doesn't put a little piece of themselves into each of their stories. But, the funny thing about addiction is, you don't have to feel the effects of it physically to know how strong it can be. Whether it's having an Aunt, Uncle, Mom, Dad, best friend, a boyfriend... or simply the boy who sits next to you in class, addiction is something that touches us all in one way or another. Seth and Ali's story is a sad one, but it's also one that happens more often then we'd like to think about. Maybe this story will save someone from the gripping hold of drug addiction, I don't know. Maybe this story will bring comfort to someone who is going through a similar situation, I don't know. But I do hope that it allows people to open their eyes and take a look at those around them in a new light. Addicts are not hopeless, they are simply just lost no matter which path they took to get to where they are.
