Giada Slim-N20
I won't go into very much detail regarding the N20's user experience as a desktop machine. I do wish it had a few more USB ports, but apart from that, it's a surprisingly zippy little machine, especially considering it's a Nettop. Where this unit really shines, however, is in the living room.
With all major connectors in the back, the N20 hides the fact that it's a computer very well. With normal operation (and digital audio), the top panel never needs to be opened. The only thing visible from the front is the very thin (less than 1") profile and the cool LED power/activity button.
The N20 is also quiet—very quiet. Even when churning out 1080p video, the unit never was audible, even during quiet scenes in the movie. The trade-off for such quiet operation is that it does get a little warm when under a load, but even that isn't worrisome. It gets warm to the touch, but never hot.
The included remote works. It's not great, and it's basically a Windows Media Center remote, but because the MCE remotes are so popular, XBMC and other programs can deal with its awkward layout fine. The volume buttons also work with the Ubuntu desktop, which makes it possible to turn the volume up and down with a single button push, which is nice if your keyboard doesn't have multimedia keys.
One last note about the desktop experience—the unit I was shipped came with Ubuntu 10.04 installed, and it was stock. There were no strange interfaces, awkward menu systems or branded splash screens. It was just plain Ubuntu, which suits most users just fine. Giada, thank you for not forcing your logo down our throats at every boot.
The only thing about this Nettop that excited me before doing this review was that it had the ION2 video chipset. I was fairly certain it would allow programs like XBMC to play just about any video I threw at it, and my suspicions were happily confirmed. What I wasn't expecting was how nice this little computer looks. It's amazingly thin and designed with subtlety in mind. Generally, Apple does the best job of making a computer look like a fashion accessory, but I must admit, the Slim-N20 looks great next to my television.
When you add the impressive desktop performance, the N20 really did surprise me. It's not a workhorse by any means, but for a unit smaller than most thin clients, it makes for a quite tolerable user experience. If you do a lot of video rendering or hard-core compiling, I'm sure the small CPU will frustrate you. For many users who would consider a Nettop in the first place, however, the N20 is fun. Because the components are very Linux-friendly, installing a replacement distribution shouldn't be a problem either. I reviewed only the included Ubuntu install (well, I used XBMC Live for the living room), but I would expect no problems with other distros.
The limited number of USB ports is a bit frustrating, considering a keyboard and mouse take up the only two exposed ports in the back. Flipping open the top panel to access the combo USB/eSATA port isn't the end of the world, but at least one additional port on the front would be welcomed. My unit also didn't auto-detect that I was trying to use HDMI instead of VGA. That's not a showstopper, but it was annoying when I tried to hook it to my television.
The included remote, although nice, obviously was designed for Windows Media Center. I know the Slim-N20 also ships with Windows, but the MCE remotes are so awful, I wish they would have an alternative for those of us not interested in Windows (Figure 5). The remote also feels cheap, in stark contrast to the very sturdy feeling of the computer itself. Buying an additional remote is a possibility, but there's always the chance it won't work with the infrared receiver and so on. Plus, buying an additional remote would add to the price, which brings me to my next point.
The Slim-N20 is expensive. There's really no way to claim it's not. It's arguable that the features and design make it worth the $450, but only if you really value asthetics. You certainly could get a more powerful desktop machine for the money, but it wouldn't be nearly as nice sitting in your living room. If things like power usage, case design, quiet performance and beauty are important to your purchase, the Slim-N20 won't let you down. If you're just looking for a Nettop device to browse the Web and e-mail your grandparents, you might be happier with a cheaper model.

Charles Mullighan, MD
Dr. Mullighan is assistant member in the Department of Pathology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. He received his medical degree from the University of Adelaide, Australia, in 1993. Dr. Mullighan performed doctoral work in immunogenetics in Oxford, England, and then trained in internal medicine, clinical hematology, and hematopathology at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, Adelaide. He joined St. Jude in 2004 as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. James Downing and became a faculty member at the hospital in 2008. Dr. Mullighan's research interests are the genomic analysis and experimental modeling of leukemia, notably acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia. His work, using high-resolution genomic profiling, has identified a number of novel genetic alterations that contribute to the pathogenesis and treatment responsiveness of ALL. This work has been published in Nature, Science, New England Journal of Medicine, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He was recently named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.
Eric Mullins, MD
Dr. Mullins is a pediatric hematologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center with a clinical interest in hemostasis and thrombosis. His undergraduate and medical degrees were awarded by the University of Missouri, followed by residency at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. While completing his fellowship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Dr. Mullins received the National Hemophilia Foundation Clinical Fellow Award and served as chief fellow. In the laboratory of Dr. Jay L. Degen, Dr. Mullins began an investigation into the role of thrombin in the maintenance of vascular integrity, development, and inflammation. This work led him to further this investigation of the role of thrombin and thrombin targets in asthmatic disease in mice. Previous studies implicated both activated thrombin and fibrin in the pathogenesis of asthma, but the precise contribution of these hemostatic factors to the disease has not been characterized. His work focuses on using existing and novel transgenic mice to define the contribution of coagulation proteins to asthmatic disease. He has also begun an exciting new investigation into the role of thrombin-mediated proteolysis in experimental autoimmune encephalitis, with strong evidence pointing to the critical role of thrombin in exacerbation of this disease process.
Cindy N. Roy, PhD
Dr. Roy received her PhD in cell biology from Oregon Health Sciences University. Guided by Caroline Enns, PhD, she investigated the role of the hereditary hemochromatosis gene product, HFE, in the regulation of transferrin-mediated cellular iron uptake. Dr. Roy was mentored through her postdoctoral fellowship in hematology by Dr. Nancy Andrews at Harvard Medical School/Children's Hospital Boston. There, she investigated the role of hepcidin antimicrobial peptide in the pathogenesis of anemia associated with inflammation and gained expertise in the development of animal models of human disease. Dr. Roy joined the faculty of the Biology of Frailty Program in the Division of Medicine and Gerontology at John Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2007. She aims to develop novel strategies and tools for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of anemia in the elderly. Currently, her laboratory is working toward a molecular understanding of how pro-inflammatory cytokines modulate erythrocyte iron recycling and the production and maturation of erythroid progenitors. Dr. Roy would like to thank Drs. Enns, Andrews, and Walston; ASH; and ASH's supporters for their commitment to her personal and professional development.
Joshua Schiffman, MD
Dr. Joshua Schiffman's research explores the predisposition to and genetic alterations of childhood cancers, with a focus on leukemia. He is an assistant professor in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Primary Children's Medical Center, an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences, and investigator at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah's School of Medicine. He is also a member of the Center for Children's Cancer Research (C3R) and is the medical director of the High Risk Pediatric Cancer Clinic, where he cares for children and families with hereditary cancer syndromes. Dr. Schiffman previously completed his fellowship training in pediatric hematology/oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine. This was followed by a year in which he worked in Dr. James Ford's laboratory at Stanford University and co-directed the Pediatric Cancer Genetics Clinic at Stanford. Under Dr. Ford's mentorship, Dr. Schiffman learned how to acquire clinical samples from high-risk patients with cancer predisposition syndromes and perform genomic analyses to better understand cancer etiology and clinical outcome. His translational laboratory uses next-generation microarray technology to detect copy-number variations in constitutional DNA and investigates its contribution to copy-number aberrations in hematologic malignancies.
Matthew P. Strout, MD, PhD
Dr. Strout is an instructor at Yale Cancer Center, Section of Hematology, and attending physician at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven. He is also an instructor in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Strout earned his PhD from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, where, under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Caligiuri, he co-discovered and characterized the partial tandem duplication of the MLL gene in acute myeloid leukemia. After obtaining his MD from The Ohio State University, Dr. Strout moved to Yale University, where he completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in hematology. Dr. Strout is now studying the role of immune diversification in the pathogenesis of lymphoid malignancy. He is specifically interested in understanding the mechanisms that maintain genomic stability during somatic hypermutation and how those mechanisms break down during malignant transformation. In addition to his support from ASH, Dr. Strout has received research support from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the National Cancer Institute.
Geoffrey Uy, MD
Dr. Uy is interested in the development of novel agents and treatment approaches for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia. After completing his fellowship in hematology-oncology at Washington University, he joined the faculty as an assistant professor of medicine in the Section of BMT & Leukemia. During his fellowship, Dr. Uy trained in the lab of Dr. Timothy J. Ley, where he investigated the role of proteolytic cleavage of PML-RARα in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. In conjunction with Dr. John DiPersio, he is currently conducting a phase I/II study of AMD3100 (plerixafor) in combination with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine for relapsed or refractory AML. AMD3100 is a CXCR4 antagonist currently under clinical development as a stem cell mobilizing agent for use in hematopoietic transplantation. Preclinical evidence suggests that AMD3100 can disrupt the interaction of leukemic blasts with the bone marrow microenvironment, sensitizing these cells to genotoxic stresses such as chemotherapy. This trial is designed as a proof-of-concept study to determine if AMD3100 "priming" can be safely administered and whether it can improve response rates in AML.
Loren D. Walensky, MD, PhD
Dr. Walensky is an assistant professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, medical director of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Program in Cancer Chemical Biology, and attending physician in the Department of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Boston. His laboratory's research focuses on the chemical biology of deregulated apoptotic and transcriptional pathways in cancer, with the goal of developing an arsenal of new compounds — a "chemical toolbox" — to investigate and modulate protein interactions that cause cancer. To achieve these objectives, his lab takes a multidisciplinary approach that employs synthetic chemistry techniques, structural biology analyses, and biochemical, cellular, and mouse modeling experiments to systematically dissect the pathologic signaling pathways of interest. Dr. Walensky received his MD and PhD degrees from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, completing his graduate training in the laboratory of Dr. Solomon H. Snyder. Dr. Walensky trained in pediatrics at the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics and completed fellowship training in pediatric hematology/oncology at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Boston. His postdoctoral fellowship research, which led to the development of pro-apoptotic "stapled" peptides, was jointly mentored by Dr. Stanley J. Korsmeyer of Dana-Farber and Dr. Gregory L. Verdine of Harvard University. Dr. Walensky's ASH-sponsored research program involves the creation of new technologies to dissect the molecular mechanism of BAX-mediated apoptosis, with a keen eye toward clinical application.
Zack Z. Wang, PhD
Dr. Wang is a principal investigator at Maine Medical Center Research Institute (MMCRI) and the Center for Molecular Medicine; he received his PhD at Boston University School of Medicine in the Department of Biochemistry in 1998. He did his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. David Scadden at the Center of Regenerative Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Stem Cell Institute, where he investigated hematopoietic and blood vessel development. His study demonstrated that tyrosine kinase receptor EphB4 plays a crucial role in regulating hemangioblast development. After leaving an instructor position at Harvard Medical School, he joined MMCRI in 2005 to establish his independent laboratory and direct the ES cell and FACS core facility. His laboratory focuses on defining the factors to direct pluripotent stem cell differentiation into hematopoietic and cardiovascular cells.
David C. Williams Jr., MD, PhD
Dr. Williams completed a Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Virginia in 1998, where he earned a PhD in biophysics and an MD. His residency training was in anatomic pathology at Duke University, where he developed an interest in hematopathology. He spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health pursuing structural biology research with Dr. G. Marius Clore. Dr. Williams then decided to finish his clinical training with a hematopathology fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University and then pursued an academic research career. Currently, he is an assistant professor in the Pathology Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, spending most of his time running a research laboratory focused on the structural biology of transcription factor complexes important for globin gene regulation and leukemogenesis. His clinical responsibilities primarily involve performing and interpreting bone marrow biopsies for a very active clinical service. While Dr. Williams' clinical and research expertise appear to be quite disparate, both appeal to his interest in structure-function relationships. Ultimately, his goal is to use his basic science skills to help develop biologically targeted therapy for hematopoietic diseases.
Jing Yang, PhD
Dr. Yang works at the Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma at the University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She obtained her PhD in 2002 from the Cancer Research Institute, Xiangya Medical College, at Central South University in China. In 2004, Dr. Yang joined the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences as a postdoctoral fellow. Shortly thereafter, she was recruited to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Yang's specific concentration in translational research is to explore the ability of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human ß2-microglobulin (ß2M) to induce apoptosis in myeloma and elucidate the underlying mechanism. She is successfully generating her own mAbs, evaluating tumoricidal effects of the mAbs to treat myeloma and other hematologic malignances and the established tumors in SCID mice, elucidating apoptosis and signaling pathways in tumor cells, and examining the potential toxicity of the mAbs on normal cells. Her studies provide strong evidence for the future application of anti-ß2M mAbs as therapeutic agents for myeloma and other hematologic malignances.
Chengcheng (Alec) Zhang, PhD
Dr. Zhang earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Science and Technology of China and his master's at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 1995 to 1999, he pursued his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, studying estrogen receptor-mediated transcriptional regulation and signal transduction. In 2000, he went on to perform postdoctoral work with Harvey Lodish at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, with fellowship support from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. There Dr. Zhang developed his interest in identification of novel growth factors and markers for hematopoietic stem cells and establishment of ex vivo culture systems for expanding these cells. Dr. Zhang joined UT Southwestern Medical Center as an assistant professor in the department of Physiology and Development Biology in January 2007. He is studying the extrinsic control of cell fates of hematopoietic stem cells, leukemia stem cells, and the interplay between hematopoietic stem cells, microenvironment, and cancer. Dr. Zhang's goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the adult stem cell fate determination and apply the knowledge obtained from these studies to the development of new stem cell transplantation strategies and gene therapies for treating cancer and other diseases.
Wolfgang Bergmeier, PhD
Dr. Bergmeier is an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Bergmeier received his PhD degree from the department of Molecular Oncology at Witten-Herdecke University in Germany. He completed his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Denisa Wagner at the Immune Disease Institute/ Harvard Medical School in Boston, where he investigated the biology of the platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor, GPIb-V-IX. After his promotion to instructor in pathology at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bergmeier investigated the signaling mechanisms regulating platelet activation at the site of vascular injury, with a focus on the second messenger calcium (Ca2+). A major breakthrough in these studies was the identification of Ca2+ and DAG-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor I (CalDAG-GEFI, RasGRP2) as a critical sensor linking Ca2+ mobilization to various aspects of platelet activation, such as integrin activation, TxA2 generation, and granule release. Ongoing studies are directed toward the evaluation of CalDAG-GEFI as a novel target for anti-platelet therapy, a better understanding of its regulation and function, and the identification of small molecule inhibitors. Dr. Bergmeier would like to thank ASH for its support.
Julien Y. Bertrand, PhD
Dr. Bertrand received his PhD in 2005, in France, where he characterized the development of definitive hematopoiesis in the mouse embryo. He showed that definitive hematopoiesis occurred in two successive waves consisting of yolk-sac-derived erythromyeloid precursors and AGM-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). He then moved to David Traver's laboratory at the University of California, San Diego, to take advantage of the zebrafish model to study the precise origin of HSCs. In order to do so, Dr. Bertrand characterized the ontogeny of hematopoiesis in this system by showing that definitive hematopoiesis in the zebrafish embryo proceeded in two successive waves during fish development. This work gave rise to two publications in Development in 2007 and 2008. He then started to take advantage of the transparency of the zebrafish embryo to directly image HSC development. By combining transgenic lines that express mCherry in endothelial cells and GFP in HSCs, he now can show the transfating of hemogenic endothelium into HSCs, a phenomenon that occurs in the floor of the aorta.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Joseph Schwantner's Percussion Concerto was composed in 1993. In the world of orchestra music, with audiences that can still tremble at the names of Bartok, Stravinsky and Schoenberg, and conductors that tremble at most things American, that makes it "new music." But it definitely is not new.
So what is it?
A masterpiece that is muscling its way into the standard repertoire, aided by soloists that have conquered its challenges and play it with authority.
Lisa Pegher was just such a soloist in her brilliant performance of the piece with the West Virginia Symphony Friday night at the Clay Center.
The piece began with a series of volleys from the soloist at the back of the orchestra on a kit of bass drum, tom-toms, timbales and bongos braced by Schwantner's characteristic pyramiding, ringing harmonies and angular melodies. It quickly turned reflective with Pegher moving to marimba for a cascading melody with pulsating accents that gathered in the heterophonic support of the rest of the percussion section, piano and harp.
Those ideas alternated, each developing in intensity, before ending with a massive final volley of Pegher's drums with the orchestra.
The heart of the concerto is the 10-minute-long slow movement, an elegy to Schwantner's friend, the composer Stephen Albert, who died in a car crash in 1992.
Pegher moved to the front of the stage for this movement to play metal instruments, including vibraphone, crotales (little bell plates) and Almenglocken (tuned cowbells) along with triangles, cymbals and gong (lowered into a tub of water at times to bend its pitch), plus bass drum and tenor drum.
The opening recalls Charleston-born George Crumb's music, with a succession of two hollow, hammered chords on vibraphone at the dissonant interval of a tritone.
Pegher has an uncanny feel for the vibraphone's sound. While mostly used as a jazz instrument with soft mallets that give it a mellow, sweet tone, Pegher found a stark tone that made the instrument sound dark and tragic.
The middle section brought a long, descending melody with a counterpoint of one other line. It could not be simpler in idea or more inventive in substance. It started in the violins, with some players offstage, and gradually added the rest of the strings growing in volume until the brass joined to make a shattering climax. Pegher's part was just bass drum, playing dirge-like rhythms, but again she showed a splendid ear for tone, drawing whispers to thunder from the seemingly one-dimensional instrument.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."
"I would definitely recommend these menu cards for your wedding reception. They are elegant without being stuffy and add a little color to the table. High quality."
"We are having a nautical wedding in summer and chose navy blue for this menu card. Exquisite, heavy card stock, looks so much more professional than what you can print on your own computer. Suggestion - if you are having a buffet like we are, you can change the titles of the courses to read other things. For instance, we broke it down as Chilled Hors D'ouevres, Hot Hors D'ouevres, Entree and Dessert. You can play around with the titles until you get it to reflect the meal you are serving. Wish I'd ordered more!"
"I ordered the deep turquoise color that is standard color and it's beautiful. The cardstock is thick and good quality. One thing to note is that the paper is actually a little textured, which you can't really tell either from the photo, or the proof they send, however, I LOVE textured paper, so it was an added plus for me. If you want a completely smooth card, I would not order this. It's also looked slightly more yellow on the proof than in real life, but again, i prefer this, so that works for me. Printing is good quality as far as I can tell. I was able to work with the designer to remove the Second Course since I'm only having salad and I have multiple entree and dessert options. The designer simply moved the text up and reformatted so it would all fit perfectly. Product arrived faster than expected delivery date. Very happy with my purchase!"
"We personalized by taking out the 2nd Course and adding a quote to the bottom between the dessert description and the date. Loved working with the designer to get the size / font correct. It was perfect when it arrived and people loved it!"

If the Information Commissioner's Office has its way, cookies will soon be a lot less tasty to website operators.
That's because on May 26, the rules governing the use of cookies on websites in Regulation 6 of the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 will be updated in to require that a user "has given his or her consent" to the placement of a cookie in accordance with a new European Directive.
Is this the end of cookies as we know them? Fortunately, it isn't. Because this requirement would utterly upend the workings of many modern websites, naturally there's an exception. In an advice document, the ICO explains:
The only exception to this rule is if what you are doing is 'strictly necessary' for a service requested by the user. This exception is a narrow one but might apply, for example, to a cookie you use to ensure that when a user of your site has chosen the goods they wish to buy and clicks the 'add to basket' or 'proceed to checkout' button, your site 'remembers' what they chose on a previous page. You would not need to get consent for this type of activity.
Since "strictly necessary" could be construed in many ways, the ICO notes that this phrase should be interpreted narrowly.
As an example, "The exception would not apply...just because you have decided that your website is more attractive if you remember users' preferences or if you decide to use a cookie to collect statistical information about the use of your website".
Of course, "strictly necessary" is not cut and dry, even in this example. If a registered user of your website decides to save his or her preferences by clicking a button labeled as 'Save', wouldn't storing those preferences make it necessary to store them in some fashion? In this case, saving data via a cookie could reasonably be considered "strictly necessary" based on the user's behavior.
You're probably asking by now: forget about my cookies, what about third party cookies? The ICO and its EU overlords are still looking for "the right answers" around these, so the ICO "would advise anyone whose website allows or uses third party cookies to make sure that they are doing everything they can to get the right information to users and that they are allowing users to make informed choices about what is stored on their device." In other words, anything goes!
Which just about sums up the ICO's epic conclusion:
...we do not intend to issue prescriptive lists on how to comply. You are best placed to work out how to get information to your users, what they will understand and how they would like to show that they consent to what you intend to do.
At the end of the day, even though the ICO says "you cannot ignore these rules," it's obvious the ICO isn't going to be able to follow up on every report of a rogue cookie. Much of the time, consumers can't even reliably discern what a particular cookie does, and the cookies that have the greatest privacy implications are the third party cookies nobody knows how to handle.
As a result, the new rule appears quite toothless. This, of course, is a good thing given how misguided the European Directive is in the first place.

Gene Sharp, a political scientist and founder of the Albert Einstein Institutions, a non-profit organization which studies and promotes the use of nonviolent action.
Sharp's best known book, The Politics of Nonviolent Action (1973), provides a pragmatic political analysis of nonviolent action as a metod for applying power in a conflict. He identifies 198 methods of action.
Passive Resistance, the refusal to follow a law while willingly accepting punishment for that refusal.
Civil Disobedience characterises the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government or of an occupying power without resorting to physical violence.
Henry David Thoreau pioneered the modern theory behind this practice in his 1849 essay titled "Resistance to Civil Government", later retitled "Civil Disobedience". The driving idea behind the essay was that of self-reliance and how one is in morally good standing as long as they "get off another man's back". You don't have to physically fight the government but you must not support it or have it support you if you are against it. Thoreau's refusal to pay his taxes was an act of protest against slavery and the Mexican War.
Hmm...I could spend the next four years trying to flesh this out!

On this day in 1968 Eddie Zosky was born in Whittier, California. He went to college at Fresno State before the Blue Jays made him the #19 overall pick in the 1989 draft, and slightly more than two years later he made his MLB debut at shortstop as a September callup in 1991.
Unfortunately, Zosky's 18 games played with the 1991 Jays would be his career high. In fact, he had played just 14 more games over the previous eight years when the Brewers signed him as a minor league free agent before the 1999 season.
A .294/.333/.448 batting line for AAA Louisville earned Zosky a return trip to the majors in 1999 and a place in history: He's alphabetically the last player in the Brewers' franchise index. Here's the final five:
Player | Season(s) |
Robin Yount | 1974-93 |
Jeff Yurak | 1978 |
Gregg Zaun | 2010 |
Peter Zoccolillo | 2003 |
Eddie Zosky | 1999 |
With that said, Zosky's Brewer career lasted just eight games and covered just one hit.
Zosky turns 45 today. With help from Brewerfan.net and the B-Ref Play Index, we'd also like to wish a happy birthday to:
- 2011 Brewer second round pick Jorge Lopez, who turns 20.
- 2010 Brewer Luis Cruz, who turns 29.
- 2012 Brewer Cesar Izturis, who turns 33.
- 1965 Milwaukee Brave Billy O'Dell, who turns 80.
Today is also the 42nd anniversary of the Brewers trading future 20-game winning pitcher Al Dowling to the Dodgers in 1971. We covered that event in this space last year.

I hope the money he is saving will be enough to pay for a new engine.
If he is out of the higher load areas, the car will be fine.
If he is not out of the higher load areas, the car will probably still be okay for a while
In all reality, its not good for the car. Luckily, Subaru did a pretty good job of expecting people to do that. The car will most likely detonate in higher load cells, and then the car will pull timing. Over time, the car will attempt to add the advance back in. It'll detonate again.
Still doesn't make sense to me, but that is my opinion on the matter.
If premium is 10 cents more, you'd have to buy 10gal of gas before it would cost you a whole extra dollar. You're really not saving that much that I would even think about it.

Maybe 2. But not 1 and 3. Unless he admits to only running 89 (or whatever) in his car his warranty claim wont be denied. I doubt his rod and cam bearings will fail since that has more to do with your oil than what kind of gas you put in it. 2 is really only a possibility if he is going WOT everywhere around town.

Jordan Schroeder scored in a shootout to give the Vancouver Canucks a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
Schroeder, who hasn't scored a traditional goal in the regular season, fired a low, hard shot that squeaked through the pads of goalie Corey Crawford.
Alex Edler scored in regulation for the Canucks (4-2-2).
Patrick Kane had the lone goal for the Blackhawks, who lost their second straight in a shootout after starting the season with six victories.
Chicago controlled overtime, outshooting Vancouver 4-1. The Blackhawks were also awarded a power play with 1:11 left when Vancouver defenseman Jason Garrison was called for high-sticking. Chicago, which outshot Vancouver 28-22, was 0 for 5 on the power play.
The Canucks had a 40-second, 5-on-3 power play in the third period, but didn't register a shot on goal.
Edler opened the scoring at 15:42 of the first period. The big defenseman took a pass from Zack Kassian and fired a shot past Crawford for his third goal of the season.
Kane tied it at 9:42 of the third. He got the puck from Andrew Shaw and lifted a shot over the stick side of goalie Roberto Luongo, who was falling to the ice. It was Kane's third goal.
Vancouver's Mason Raymond had a great scoring chance late in regulation. His hard shot went through Crawford's pads and slid across the open net.
The Blackhawks used speed and some pretty passing to attack Vancouver. Despite being drawn out of position at times, the Canucks defense forced the Blackhawks to the outside and blocked plenty of shots.
Luongo, who stopped 24 shots in a win against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, had another solid night. In the second period he gloved a drive from Brandon Saad and calmly blocked a long shot from Dave Bolland.
In the first period, Luongo stopped Marian Hossa on a breakaway and then dragged his leg in front of Brent Seabrook's drive during a Chicago power play.
Luongo also got help when a couple of Blackhawks drives struck goal posts.
Luongo, the goalie the Canucks have been trying to trade since June, made his third consecutive start. Cory Schneider, who was expected to be Vancouver's No. 1 goalie this season, watched from the bench.
It was also the first meeting between the teams since March 21, when Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith delivered an elbow to Daniel Sedin's head.
Sedin sustained a concussion and missed the rest of the regular season plus the first three games of the playoffs. Keith was given a five-game suspension.
The crowd booed Keith every time he touched the puck. There was a cheer in the second period when Henrik Sedin bounced Keith into the boards.
The Canucks wore the Vancouver Millionaires ''V'' patch on their sweaters to celebrate the team that won the Stanley Cup in 1915 against the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey Association. ... Wes Rypien, brother of former Canucks player Rick Rypien, who committed suicide, participated in a ceremonial opening faceoff. ... Henrik Sedin played his 900th game with the Canucks. ... Canucks grinder Dale Weise played despite missing practice Thursday with a stiff neck. Weise fought Cody McLeod during Vancouver's 3-0 win Wednesday.

MacBook Pro Retina Battery
Tried everythingbut still 3h 45min when it's at 100%
has anyone an idea? Battery status is 'good' so it can't be a hardware problem

Hi there.. I just had the same problem and after reading all the support ideas on these boards I figured there is nothing I can do beside go to apple and let them check the battery with their tools. As it turned out the brand new MacBook Pro came with a battery defect. Those machines have one battery made out of 3. 1 was shot 100%, the other one 100% consumed and the last one ok... I got it replaced and tested.
It might be the case for many other users here. Since obiously the MacBook behaves well. Maybe sorage problems, heat during transport etc... can cause this battery damage.
A screenshot is attached too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ckod4rtn8pfqy6y/MacBook.jpg

They did the same test with my new retina 13 inch, but everything seemed to be okay. I get about 4 to 4,5 hours battery runtime out of one charge while surfing the web and listening an online radio, which seems pretty less! Most product testers say that they got 6 up to 10 hours runtime while working normal.
David how long was your battery runtime before you went to Apple and how long is it with your new device?

I got the computer a few days ago and brought it right back after 2 days back to apple because 4h or less isn't what I purchased. Maybe I was lucky with the battery test, however one thing I did prior giving it to apple, was to run this trminal command that someone here posted. This actually made the battery start instantly at 7h on a full charge, however dropped instantly after slight use down to 4h and less.
It should have at least 6-7h for regular usage. Even 5+ hours for simple photoshop stuff. Anything less is unacceptable for this price level and I would ask for a replacement.
And that's what I told the apple staff, which acknowledge the same thing. Some people at their Genius bar aren't full of it and do know what the computers can and should do

Same here - just bought the 15 inch MBPr, 512, 8 gb less than 4 days ago and the battery life is horrible. I am getting less than 2 hours on a full charge and just thought it was the transfer of photos and videos from my iphone to the laptop.
For this price ( and the related marketing ), I am shocked at the poor performance. I may as well bought the iMac as I need to have this thing constantly plugged in. No heavy use besides transferring pictures and linking iTunes to IMatch.
Tonight I had everything shut down and was surfing the web (with no downloads) and my battery was at 50% remaining after being fully charged after 45 minutes.
I will be returning this paperweight ASAP. I am shocked at the lacklust performance.

Choosing between iMac and MBPR it's totally up to your needs. But about that 2hrs you know that sth is wrong about your machine and it's not the same for the rest of us. Go to the G bar and let them check that out. Mine gives me qt least 5hrs while surfing and watching movie and more than 7 hrs if it's only reading a documents.
Good luck

I'm using a 4-week old 15" MBP with retina display and running Mountain Lion with all updates. Bottom line: I have never gotten more than 3 hours out of a full charge and I seldom run anything other than Safari for web access, a couple of schedule apps, and MS Word.
I went to Apple and they put Coconut Battery on my laptop and said, See, your battery is fine. There's no problem with your MBP.
Okay, what do I do now? Just put up with the 3 hour battery life?

The battery performance of my 8 week old MacBook Pro Retina is disappointing but not as bad as others like Jake Needham are experiencing. I seem to get somewhere between 4 and 6 hours. The problem is not with the battery but with the power consumption.
About This Mac/More Info/System Report/Power will show you what's going on. I haven't had the personal energy to take this up at my local Apple store. But what the geniuses need to explain is something like this:
Just now, the full charge capacity of my battery is given as 8366 mA/h and the charge remaining is 4488mA/h. The power consumption (Amperage) is -2047mA. So I have 4488/2047 hours to go, i.e., about 2.5 hours and would have 8366/2047, i.e., just over 4 hours if the battery was fully charged - much less than the claimed 7 hours. 2047mA at 11 volts is over 22 watts and that is much more than Apple claim the power consumption for an idle MacBook Pro Retina should be. The power consumption seems to fluctuate unpredictably, but always on the high side.
If the geniuses insist that Coconut Battery says there is no problem then just click on the battery icon. For me, just now, it says that I have 55% and 2:30 remaining - but 55% of 7 hours is a lot more than 2 hours and 30 minutes.
for Apple's claims about the power consumption.

I apologize. My commentary skills are lacking. I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina 15" that I bought in August 2013. For the first few weeks my battery life was fine (around 6 hours), but after a few updates I started to notice a serious drain. The worst was when my battery lasted only about 2 hours, and that's when the computer was on, the wireless was turned off, and the monitor was turned down all the way. It was annoying to say the least.
Even after trying all the standard tricks (turning off the bluetooth and wireless connections, turning off the keyboard lighting, seriously dimming the screen, it was still terrible. But here's whats ended up working for me.
The procedure:
- In this procedure, leave out all quote marks " "
- Open Terminal (by going to the Applications folder and from there the Utilities folder and from there opening Terminal).
- On the keyboard type "cd ~/Library/Preferences/" and hit Enter.
- Now type "rm com.apple.desktop.plist" and hit Enter again.
Finally, type "killall Dock" and hit Enter
It took me a few tries to get the file to delete because a few times my computer said there was no such file, but I just rebooted the computer and it finally worked. I didn't notice a change the first charge or two after I deleted the file, but a few days later it really started to kick in. Where before I could only spend two hours without wireless on my BRAND NEW Macbook Pro, now I'm running around six hours with wireless on and moderate activity (word processing, simple internet browsing).
