Yeah Schierholtz didn't turn out so well this year. He's been so bad that I don't even see a reason for the Phils to pick him up now. Also, they claimed Jacob Turner, meaning the Phillies had no shot at him, as the Cubs are even worse than the Phils.
I guess he might do some scouting or something.
Huh. So apparently Joyner is coming back now. Samuel is back too. Also, Phils outright J.C. Ramirez, Cesar Jimenez, Roger Bernadina, and Casper Wells off the 40-man. Nothing too shocking, none of those guys are actually good, but certainly noteworthy.
New utility infielder? Why? At least it's not Martinez?
So, the Nuggets decided to fire the Coach of the Year rather than give him a new contract. Okay. With that said, I hear the Sixers are looking for a coach... (dodges projectiles) In all seriousness, my first instinct is that the Sixers won't go after Karl, and Karl may not even be interested in coming to Philadelphia. I'm not the most knowledgeable about the NBA, admittedly, but based on what I do know about Karl, he doesn't seem like the ideal coach for a young or rebuilding team. With that said, the man has obviously had quite a bit of success in the league, and deserves a bit of a mention. I'd take him over Larry Brown in a heartbeat, anyway. So, George Karl for the Sixers? Does that warrant a "No," a "Maybe," or a "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" from you? I'm curious.
Preview of tomorrow's content!
Apparently, Miami is now the place to go for Phillies rejects. I guess Pierre/Polanco will hit at the top of the order for the Marlins? I like Polanco and all, but that's just depressing. I'm so glad I'm not a Miami fan.
So yeah, Hanson going to the Angels for a setup man. Strange...
Cross one free agent outfielder off the list!
Former San Diego Padres hitting coach Wally Joyner has been hired as an assistant hitting coach. Based on a quick glance at OPS+, the Padres' offense was below average during his time there, but it wasn't any better before or after his tenure.
Ouch. 40th round personal favor who has posted a .644 OPS in two seasons of rookie ball. He's 22 already. I don't think we made up for Domingo Santana with this one...
Man. Even though it's been ages since he played for the Phillies, Wolf has always been one of my favorites, maybe even my favorite Phillie of all time. Always solid, always likeable, had the best fanclub, and was a real bright spot during some dark days for the team. Sadly I don't think he's ever coming back here, and he may be done as a big leaguer. That said, I'm not sure he should be -- his xFIP and SIERA on the year are right in line with his career averages, nothing special but not awful, and he's left handed. It would be cool to see him revive his career as a bullpen guy, but I'm not so sure that's going to happen. Maybe he gets an invite next year, but I could see him just retiring. If he does, I hope the game still has a place for the guy.
I haven't really checked out much Zoo With Roy, but I saw this get a mention on Baseball Nation, and it's classic stuff. Must-read for all Phillies and/or Nintendo fans.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Front-Paged. Quality stuff, I remember feeling a lot of the same about Byrd. - WC If you haven't heard, Marlon Byrd was recently designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox. h...
Huh, really? I didn't see the game last night. It didn't even occur to me that fans would boo Abreu. I mean... now? What's the point? Apparently a large portion of my fellow fans are just idiots, and it's that simple. Sigh.
Shane Victorino CF Placido Polanco 3B Jimmy Rollins SS Hunter Pence RF Ty Wigginton 1B John Mayberry Jr. LF Carlos Ruiz C Freddy Galvis 2B Roy Halladay P We knew Thome wouldn't be in against the lefty Bedard, but there was a lot of PIerre-as-leadoff buzz. Instead, Manuel goes with Wigginton 1B and Mayberry LF. The correct choice, to be clear, but not necessarily the expected one. Victorino leadoff and Rollins 3rd is also notable, but not so surprising. However, Manuel still plans for Pierre to "start a lot of games." I don't get the impression that Nix will be seeing a ton of action, but you never know. Thoughts?
This is either the best news in the world or the worst news in the world. Or neither of those things. This will undoubtedly reduce all Phillies' HBP rates by 20-30%.
Part of me wants to laugh at the Braves. They signed a guy the Astros didn't want. On the other hand, he's been a decent fifth starter for the last couple of years, and the Braves always seem to find hidden gems. Besides, even if he sucks, they have depth in the minors. Hey, I hear Houston wants Joe Blanton now! /salisbury
Jamie Moyer may have moved himself to the front of Colorado's fifth starter competition. Wow. It remains to be seen if this translates to consistent big league performance in 2012, or if it even leads to his winning a roster spot, but it appears that there is some semblance of fuel left in the tank. Would be nice to see at least a few solid major league games from Jamie this year, as unlikely as it may seem.
Hal Bodley writes about how Thome is a great guy and wants to win a World Series. In other news, sources indicate that Dom Brown would prefer to make it to the second round of the playoffs before bowing out.
Yes, you read that right. Jarrad Page was literally so bad last season that he's trying his hand at baseball instead. He's 27, so I'm not holding my breath. He was drafted three times by MLB teams, but not all that highly, and that was five years ago. Then again, there have been a fair number of mediocre players who have switched sports and been mediocre in something else. Hopefully he's better at baseball than he was at football. Because if he's not, then... damn. Also: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My initial reactions to this signing: 1. ???? 2. Elarton is still pitching? 3. Why is Elarton still pitching? 4. Why do the Phillies think a 36-year-old who hasn't been in the majors for years and wasn't any good when he was is worth an invite? 5. Isn't Elarton an unusual name? I mean, do you know any Elartons? 6. ?????????????????
By Andy Schwartz and Reuben Frank Mostly what you'd expect, but I found it interesting that they had both Joselio Hanson being traded and Trevard Lindley being cut outright. Colt Anderson and Brandon Hughes make the team, according to their predictions. I thought that was kind of interesting, and I'm not sure I agree, though I've never been convinced that the team was confident in Lindley. He had his moments last year as a rookie, so it would surprise me to see him cut rather than sticking around as a 4th or 5th corner. It does seem that Marsh has clearly moved ahead of him.
It's a good season to be a Philadelphia Phillies fan. At 86-46, the Phillies tower above all other major league teams. They are effectively guaranteed a playoff spot. They boast one of the most...
Big news, but probably for the best. He really did have an awful season last year, even for being unmotivated. He had 28 catches for 393 yards, and he played in all 16 games. I think he was done anyway; probably didn't want to sign as a 3rd or 4th guy. Certainly seems to rule out him coming to the Eagles.
Don't worry, it's not a Chris Chase article. However... Based on this "scouting report" one would think that Kevin Kolb was a rocket-armed QB with no accuracy who belongs in an offense that does nothing but throw the deep ball. Um, what?
No, that's not a misprint. Grilli had an out clause that allowed any MLB club to claim him. Phils had the option to call him up or let the Pirates have him. I hate those kinds of deals, because it's annoying to have a guy pitch well in AAA and get scooped up by a different team. Still, I don't really care so much. The Phillies didn't want him, and I can't say he excited me either.
This is actually good news, since the price on Soria is apparently astronomical. The Phils don't need him, and I'd prefer they not be tempted to pursue him. Soria is a great talent, but he's not worth the "exorbitant" return KC would want. Certainly not for the Phillies. In that sense, it's kind of a non-story, but I mention it because I'm kind of surprised a player would specifically mention not wanting to play for big-market contenders like Philadelphia, Boston, and New York, or even a small market contender like Atlanta. Maybe he just doesn't want to relocate, so he's listing the teams most likely to deal for him?
Drabek is certainly no lost cause at this point; he's still only 23 and clearly has MLB-caliber stuff. That said, he was a guy who was expected by many to be ready at this point, so this is definitely a disappointment for Toronto. 52 walks in 73 innings is just not a number you want to see from any pitcher, and it's not as though he had a ton of strikeouts offsetting it. If I had to guess, I'd say Drabek is still probably going to be a very good MLB pitcher, but his control problems are a definite cause for concern. I think this does highlight some of the risk the Phillies would have taken on had they kept Drabek, as they would have been dealing with these growing pains much in the way they dealt with those of Gavin Floyd (who, by the way, is as good of a comparison as I can think of for Drabek at this point. The other guy who comes to mind is Brandon Duckworth, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.)
Manuel: "I've heard people say he got to play in Cleveland. He didn't get no 350, 450 at bats or anything like that. He's never done that. So this is a chance for him to get to play. Starting off, he's going to get a good chance to play, what you call a bona fide chance." In 2008, Francisco had 447 AB's for Cleveland, starting 71 games in left field and 27 more in right (98 total OF starts). His OPS was .770 on the season. In 2009, he tallied 405 AB's between the Phillies and Indians with a .779 OPS for the year. He started 51 games in LF, 37 in CF, and 13 in RF, totalling 101 starts in the outfield. So yes, Charlie, he has done this before. Turns out he wasn't bad at it, either.

Meteor blast hits Siberian city
Force like 20 A-bombs; 1,000 hurt, most by glass
MOSCOW -- With a blinding flash and a booming shock wave, a meteor blazed across the western Siberian sky Friday and exploded with the force of 20 atomic bombs, injuring more than 1,000 people as it blasted out windows and spread panic in a city of one million.
While NASA estimated the meteor was only about the size of a bus and weighed an estimated 6,350 tonnes, the fireball it produced was dramatic. Video shot by startled residents of the city of Chelyabinsk showed its streaming contrails as it arced toward the horizon just after sunrise, looking like something from a world-ending science-fiction movie.
The largest recorded meteor strike in more than a century occurred hours before a 46-metre asteroid passed within about 28,000 kilometres of Earth. The European Space Agency said its experts had determined there was no connection between the asteroid and the Russian meteor -- just cosmic coincidence.
The meteor above western Siberia entered the Earth's atmosphere about 9:20 a.m. local time (9:20 p.m. CST Thursday) at a hypersonic speed of at least 54,000 kilometres an hour and shattered into pieces about 30 to 50 kilometres high, the Russian Academy of Sciences said. NASA estimated its speed at about 64,370 km/h, said it exploded about 19 to 24 kilometres high, released 300 to 500 kilotons of energy and left a trail 480 kilometres long.
"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening," said Sergey Hametov of Chelyabinsk, about 1,500 kilometres east of Moscow in the Ural Mountains.
"We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud, thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone. The shock wave blew in an estimated 100,000 square metres of glass, according to city officials, who said 3,000 buildings in Chelyabinsk were damaged. At a zinc factory, part of the roof collapsed.
The Interior Ministry said about 1,100 people sought medical care after the shock wave and 48 were hospitalized. Most injuries were caused by flying glass, officials said.
Scientists estimated the meteor unleashed a force 20 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, although the space rock exploded at a much higher altitude. Amy Mainzer, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said the atmosphere acted as a shield.
The shock wave may have shattered windows, but "the atmosphere absorbed the vast majority of that energy," she said.
Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman Vladimir Purgin said many of the injured were cut as they flocked to windows to see what caused the intense flash of light, which momentarily was brighter than the sun.
There was no immediate word on any deaths or anyone struck by meteor fragments.
Russian President Vladimir Putin summoned the nation's emergencies minister and ordered immediate repairs. "We need to think how to help the people and do it immediately," he said.
Some meteorite fragments fell in a reservoir outside the town of Chebarkul, the regional Interior Ministry office said. The crash left an eight-metre crater in the ice.
Lessons had just started at Chelyabinsk schools when the meteor exploded, and officials said 258 children were among those injured. Amateur video showed a teacher speaking to her class as a powerful shock wave hit the room.
Yekaterina Melikhova, a high school student whose nose was bloody and whose upper lip was covered with a bandage, said she was in her geography class when a bright light flashed outside.
"After the flash, nothing happened for about three minutes. Then we rushed outdoors... The door was made of glass; a shock wave made it hit us," she said.
Russian television ran video of athletes at a city sports arena who were showered by shards of glass from huge windows. Some of them were still bleeding.
Other videos showed a long shard of glass slamming into the floor close to a factory worker and massive doors blown away by the shock wave.
Meteors typically cause sizable sonic booms when they enter the atmosphere because they are travelling so much faster than the speed of sound. Injuries on the scale reported Friday, however, are extraordinarily rare.
"I went to see what that flash in the sky was about," recalled resident Marat Lobkovsky. "And then the window glass shattered, bouncing back on me. My beard was cut open, but not deep. They patched me up."
Resident Valya Kazakov, said some elderly women in his neighbourhood started crying out that the world was ending. The many broken windows exposed residents to temperatures expected to plummet to -20 C overnight.

Europe's main stock markets slumped on Monday, with London dragged down by the banking sector as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown battled to stay in power after an election drubbing.
In late morning trade, London's FTSE 100 index of leading shares was down 1.41 percent to 4,375.22 points.
Nearing the half-way mark in Paris, the CAC 40 shed 1.62 percent to 3,284.93 points while in Frankfurt the DAX 30 dropped 1.67 percent in value to reach 4,992.22.
The DJ Euro Stoxx 50 index of leading eurozone shares fell 1.61 percent to 2,462.76 points.
On the currency market the euro slipped to 1.3835 dollars.
"It has been a somewhat wobbly start for share prices, as we have seen a continuation of the weak sentiment seen on Friday afternoon," said IG Index market strategist Anthony Grech.
"News flow is a bit thin on the ground so far and there is no single reason for today's slide, although banks are under some pressure."
Grech added: "Looking ahead to the US open, at the moment we are expecting the Dow Jones to open down around 80 points -- and with little of note on the economic calendar in the US this afternoon, traders may be resigning themselves to a choppy and directionless day ahead," he added.
In London, the share price of Lloyds Banking Group dived 6.95 percent to 61.6 pence in morning trade after the state-controlled company reported an 87-percent take-up for heavily discounted new shares.
LBG had launched the rights-issue last month aimed at raising 4.0 billion pounds (4.6 billion euros, 6.3 billion dollars) to help repay its bailout by the British government, which owns about 43 percent of LBG.
Under terms of the new stock offer, should no investors come forward for the remaining 13 percent of shares the British government will add to its stake.
Barclays bank meanwhile dropped 2.37 percent to 278.25 pence after confirming it had held talks with US money manager BlackRock on the possible sale of the British group's asset management arm.
The Sunday Telegraph newspaper had reported over the weekend that a sale of Barclays Global Investors (BGI) to BlackRock for 13 billion dollars (9.3 billion euros) could be announced this week.
Attention in Britain was also firmly focused on the future of Brown, whose Labour Party suffered an extremely poor showing in European elections.
Labour was beaten into third place behind fringe anti-Europeans the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), leaving Brown fighting for his job days after 10 of his ministers resigned.

Harry Winston says Diavik Diamond Mine full-year target production 7.1M carats
Diavik Diamond Mine's full-year target production is expected to be approximately 7.1M carats from the mining of 2.1M tonnes of ore and the processing of 2.0M tonnes of ore. The decrease in carats from the original plan is primarily due to deferring the processing and recovery of lower value carats from the re-processed rejects in favour of processing underground ore containing higher valued carats. A new mine plan and budget for CY13 is under final review by Rio Tinto (RIO) and the company. The plan for CY13 foresees Diavik Diamond Mine production of approximately 6M carats from the mining and processing of approximately 1.6M tonnes of ore with a further 0.2M tonnes processed from stockpiled ore from CY12. Mining activities will be exclusively underground. Included in the estimated production for CY13 is approximately 0.6M carats from RPR and 0.1M carats from the improved recovery process for small diamonds.

Study: 'Daily Show' as Substantive as Evening News Programs
Liberal comedian Jon Stewart regularly analyzes and criticizes the cable and broadcast news programs. When someone tries to do the same to his "Daily Show," however, the Stewart says he's just a comedian doing "fake news."
That used to be true back in the day when "Daily" was primarily comprised of spoof reports and fake interviews. But since Iraq war started, "Daily" has largely turned into a nightly bash-Republicans program, with the news of the day as the cudgel. In so doing, Stewart has evolved his show into a news program, despite his protestations to the contrary.
Here at NB, we've long thought that "Daily" should be treated as a news show, even if its host is too timorous to want that kind of scrutiny. Now, a new study has come out confirming our point of view:
First, the good news: If you look warily at the trend of younger viewers getting their political news from Jon Stewart, it might be comforting to know that a new study out of Indiana University finds "The Daily Show" is no less substantive than network television.
Now, the bad news: Neither is particularly substantive, says the study's principal author, IU telecommunications professor Julia R. Fox.
Fox and two of her graduate students based their findings on their analysis of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news and "The Daily Show" during the 2004 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and the first Bush-Kerry debate.
This was back in the day of Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings. Fox provided Blinq with a copy of the paper, which is to be published next summer in the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media.
"It's as good as the source Americans have relied on for decades," Fox said by phone of Comedy Central's show. "Neither one of them is particularly substantive. But any time you can get people engaged in the political process, that's a good thing. The fact is that a lot of young people have turned away from the network news to "The Daily Show" means at least they are still engaged and still paying attention to politics."
Fox and her co-authors clocked the amount of hype and substance on all four shows, defining the former as preoccupation with elections as horse races and coverage of such visuals as hand-shaking, baby-kissing and flag-waving. Substance was defined as attention to issues in party platforms and reporting candidates' political and governing records. They tracked both audio and video elements.

Expand used a series of compression algorithms to reduce the number of packets on the wire. Other vendors, most notably Packeteer, also used highly advanced compression schemes and began adding QoS to further allocate and manage WAN traffic flows.
File-caching provides yet another way to reduce traffic by storing a copy of recently accessed files on an appliance near requesting users. As with a browser cache, files and objects are kept closer to the remote user, helping to overcome latency and prevent excessive, redundant requests over the WAN. This is typically a "full file" cache and not made up of smaller data segments. Full-file caching isn't nearly as effective as newer segment-caching methods, because the chance of a second or third user requesting the same file is slim. Also, if the file on the file server is renamed or changed, then it won't match the file already in cache and must be transferred again anyway.
In with the new
In recent years, TCP acceleration has taken center stage as one way to improve performance by reducing ACKs and playing games with the TCP window size. Vendors such as Swan Labs, Peribit (now owned by Juniper Networks), Expand Networks, and Riverbed Technology have all developed solutions based on improving TCP's performance.
Click for larger view.
The next step beyond TCP tricks is application-specific acceleration. Some WAN optimization vendors use plug-ins in their appliances to help improve application response. Applications such as DNS, Exchange, FTP, Citrix, Notes, and CIFS/NFS can all benefit from reduced chatter on the wire. The plug-ins work much like the TCP ACK optimization in that they handle redundant requests locally instead of sending each one.
There is no quilt
The WAN optimization and acceleration space is heading toward a convergence of sorts. In the past some vendors specialized in a single technology solution, but now they are adding other technologies to solve additional pieces of the WAN problem. Orbital's Pierce sees the multiple approaches to solving WAN problems as "patches, in the context of patches and a quilt. In the end, it's about the quilt; it's not about the patches themselves. Customers buy patches today because there is no quilt." The trend is for vendors to move away from "point" solutions to a more comprehensive managed system.
Several WAN appliances include compression and TCP acceleration along with file-caching and application-specific acceleration. But not all vendors agree that such consolidation is wise. "I think more customers are more worried about just the visibility into the network," says Allot's Narayanan. "They want a good traffic-management company with the ability to decode any application layer properly, not falsify it."

By Evan Derkacz
Posted on February 6, 2007
It's 4 years and a day since Colin Powell gave his "damning" and almost entirely false speech to the UN that put the final nail in the coffin of what is now over 3,000 American soldiers and over a half million Iraqis.
The press lapped it up, coming as it did from the administration's most skeptical cabinet-member and resident "centrist."
As Iraq devolves into a chaos (the long-awaited 2007 National Intelligence Estimate uses the term "Civil War" to describe parts of Iraq) and the administration marches toward war on Iran, the press has yawned and stretched and tried to come to life. To paraphrase Dolly Parton.
The following is the transcript of the video to the right, featuring two reporters tired of being jerked around by a duplicitous White House. They simply don't trust them. No pumping fists here... just a "finally you're doing your job."
Hat tip to Editor & Publisher for finding this exchange.
Q: Steve, in 2002 and 2003, in the run-up to the Iraq war, the administration made statements that were obviously not borne by facts subsequently. And it later came out that caveats from the intelligence community, caveats from Energy Department analysts, those were left out of public statements of Vice President Cheney, the President, others in the administration. Now when it comes to Iran, you've been saying for months that Iran is a key driver of violence in Iraq. You've said there is evidence tying Iran to attacks in Iraq. You've said that you'd make that evidence public. That supposed to be made public on the 31st.
MR. HADLEY: Right.
Q: It wasn't.
MR. HADLEY: That's correct.
Q: Now you have this report saying it contributes in some way, so does Syria, so do other factors, but it is not, in and of itself, causing the violence, nor would the violence stop if Iranian influence stopped.
MR. HADLEY: I didn't read it that way...
Q: You see it on the second --
MR. HADLEY: "Iraq's neighbors influence and are influenced by events within Iraq. But the involvement of these outside -- is not likely to be a major driver of violence or the prospect for stability because of the self-sustaining character of Iraq's internal sectarian dynamics."
We need to get control of that. Now, to the extent Iraqi support -- sorry, Iranian support is going to extremist groups that are participating in that sectarian violence, it is obviously a factor. And as we talked about it more broadly, they are, of course, a disruptive factor in the region.
The reason we put the intelligence briefing on hold was really two reasons. One, we thought we'd better get the NIE out so people could see the full context, which you now can. And secondly, quite frankly, we want to make sure that if we put out intelligence, the intelligence community and MNFI can stand behind it, because we are sensitive to try and put out the facts as accurately as we can.
Q: When will that be, that briefing?
MR. HADLEY: When this process gets done, the briefing will be -- will come out.I don't think there's a timetable on this point since it's slipped a couple times. We want to get the work done so that we can get people a firm date and that we won't have to change.
Q: Even though it was already scheduled and officials in Baghdad gave a date, they gave a time, and in some cases, they gave a place?
MR. HADLEY: Correct.
Q: And now it's been pushed back. Can we conclude anything from that other than people looked at the intelligence that was set to offered and said, this is not good enough?
MR. HADLEY: No, I wouldn't --
Q: Does that mean there was a willingness to overstate it?
MR. HADLEY: The truth is, quite frankly, we thought the briefing overstated. And we sent it back to get it narrowed and focused on the facts. And that's not a criticism of anybody. It was, in some sense, an attempt to do and address some of the issues in the NIE in a briefing on intelligence of Iranian activity in Iraq. And we thought, hey, why are we doing this? Let's get the NIE out, the coordinated intelligence judgment of the intelligence community. And then with that as context, get a briefing that is focused on and one that we're confident everyone can stand behind.
Q: Mr. Hadley, given the track record on weapons of mass destruction, and recent events that have alleged that intelligence has been cherry-picked and pulled selectively, how can the public be assured that intelligence is driving the policy and not the other way around, that it's being tailored to what the President and the Vice President want the policy to be?
MR. HADLEY: By putting out things like this, the coordinated judgment of the intelligence community, so you can see the intelligence on which the policy was based.
Q: How can we be assured that this wasn't written for that purpose?
MR. HADLEY: Well, you can talk to the intelligence community. This came from the NIC -- the National Intelligence Council. And it came out of that process. It was not a result of a policy process. It was a result of the intelligence process. And there was no effort to put a policy spin on that by the White House. This is a thing we got roughly a day or two before you.

|Mariners activate Hernandez, Davis
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 15 May 2007 16:06
Davis, a hard-throwing right-handed reliever acquired on Sunday for a player to be named after Cleveland had designated him for assignment, was activated before Tuesday night's game with the Los Angeles Angels.
Seattle optioned left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith back to Triple-A Tacoma. The Mariners had recalled Rowland-Smith on Friday. He did not pitch in a game while with the team.
To make room on its 40-man major league roster for Davis, Seattle transferred veteran left-hander Arthur Rhodes to the 60-day disabled list. Rhodes had season-ending ligament replacement surgery on his elbow earlier this month.
With Hernandez's return from the 15-day disabled list with the forearm strain, the Mariners optioned right-hander Sean Green to Tacoma immediately before the game, once they were assured Hernandez was ready to start. Green had no record and a 5.06 ERA in three games.

Motorola has been taking advantage of the Play Store to distribute updates to a number of stock apps including the camera, Assist, and Touchless Control. Now the newest addition to the Play Store has popped up, and it's the stock Gallery app with a new coat of paint. The old one looked just like the stock Android/Nexus app, but now it has a light KitKat vibe.
Motorola announced new pricing for the long-delayed wood back option for the Moto X last week. The excitement of the $25 price point was tempered by the indeterminate release date of "coming soon." Well, it was pretty soon – the Moto X is now available with ebony, teak, walnut, or bamboo backs for just $25 extra.
This week's poll is utterly, totally subjective in nature. Our question? What are your feelings about wood? Specifically, the wood that will soon be available for order on the back of your customized Moto X.
Motorola has introduced three options - ebony, teak, and walnut, alongside the existing bamboo, bringing the total number of plant-based backplate options up to four. Real wood comes at a cost of just $25 over the standard X, which seems downright reasonable, if I do say so myself.
Motorola has just announced the much anticipated expansion of its wood finishes for the Moto X. The Walnut, Teak and Ebony versions of the device will be available on January 21st for an extra $25. If you're more of a minimalist person, the bamboo version of the Moto X has been dropped to $25 starting today.
The Bamboo option debuted a few weeks ago at $100, so the price drop to $25 might annoy those who dropped the cash already.
Motorola's Moto X is making the trip to Europe, and while it isn't packing everything into its suitcase in time for launch (such as Moto Maker), it will still be the same phone we already know and love when it hits store shelves in France, Germany, and the UK come February 1st. The device will sell for £380 or 399 euros unlocked with British customers also able to snag one up on contract starting at £25 a month.
So maybe you missed that mega Moto X deal last month – that's okay. Motorola still really wants you to buy a Moto X. The price was permanently knocked down by $100 last week, and now Motorola is sweetening the pot even more with a free Chromecast for a limited Time.
The deal is only valid through 11:59pm ET on January 14th. All you have to do is add a Chromecast to your cart containing a 16 or 32GB Moto X and enter the code STREAM.
Motorola's got a special New Year's treat for prospective buyers of the Moto X: a huge price drop for those who are willing to go off-contract. The unsubsidized version of the Moto X sold on the Moto Maker customization site is now just $399.99, down $100 from its previous price. You can pick up the larger 32GB model for $449.99. The on-contract versions remain $99.99 on the Moto Maker site, though you can probably find the more drab black or white alternatives for less.
Motorola seems to have cracked the code to make people really, really excited about the Moto X: give them a huge freakin' discount. After driving the Internet wild and crashing their own site with a Cyber Monday deal on the Moto X for $349.99, the deal has returned via a "12 Days Of Christmas" deal from The Today Show. You can get a $150 discount on any contract-free Moto X from Moto Maker (except the bamboo back version), or take a cool 50% off the on-contract price.
Motorola has done many things right this year. The Moto X was an innovative phone that emphasized build quality and a handful of features - the opposite of Samsung's approach. The "Lazy Phone" ad campaign that accompanied it was humorous, informative, and memorable - something that can't be said for HTC's. The company has even released many of its exclusive apps into the Play Store to provide speedier updates, including the boring ones.

The override: The cap and Manchester's budget
With an economy still sputtering, city payrolls already cut, and compensation concessions already made by most city employee unions, balancing this budget with cuts was not a viable option, according to the mayor. He insisted that the tax hike be no more than four percent, and aldermen complied. Unfortunately, his reluctant acceptance of an override gave aldermen who had no interest in staying within the cap an excuse to avoid pursuing needed reforms this year.

Space Monkey's alternative cloud service is cheaper and offers more than its competitors, but you need to invest time and effort to set it up.
Featuring a magnesium-lithium alloy chassis, the Intel-powered gaming notebook from MSI is indeed drool-worthy in both specs and design.

With the Inspiron 11 3000, Dell delivers an everyday ultraportable hybrid with an excellent battery life at a good price.
Polaroid's 50GSR9000 is a 50-inch 4K television that will go on sale for less than a grand and features three HDMI ports.
The distinction of having the first smartphone with ultra HD resolution goes to Chinese phone-maker Vivo's Xplay 3S from this past December.

The latest in a line of sub-$500 ILC announcements this spring, Nikon's cheapest model certainly doesn't skimp on the performance specs.

The Acer Liquid S2 is a new 6-inch rival to the Samsung Galaxy Note that brings both 4G data connection and ultra-high-definition 4K video.

The Acer Iconia A1-810 goes low on price, but the Google Nexus 7 costs about the same and is still the tablet to get with its sharper screen and more comfortable build.
NBA 2K13 is the best arcade 5-on-5 basketball game on a smartphone, and it looks pretty good. But bad controls, graphical glitches, and several other issues make the $7.99 price tag way too high.

Swim on over for Mermaid Inn favorites like the Lobster Sandwich with Old Bay Fries, seared Skate wing, Mermaid fish tacos, or the Happiest of Happy Hours. On Sundays, join The Mermaid for Lobsterpalooza: $26 for a pound & a quarter lobster, red bliss potatoes & grilled corn on the cob. The uptown location also features an expanded raw bar, brunch and the same casual and cozy "shore feel" as the downtown spot.Continued

- Happy Birthday BashOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/26/2014On the 26th I invited three very special friends to celebrate their belated birthdays. We had an excellent experience! The food was amazing, we had the happy hour oysters and the fried calamari with a bottle of Greek wine, which was a first for me. Our waitress, Anabel, was very attentive with our needs and her dinner suggestions were right on. I am so glad that I was able to celebrate so a special occasion in such a wonderful restaurant.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/19/2014The appetizers at the Mermaid Inn are consistently interesting, fresh and substantial. The main dishes also are fresh and have ample portions.

- Lobsterpalooza TimeNoisyVIPDined on 8/17/2014Had a great meal on Sunday night at Mermaid Inn. They have their Lobsterpalooza special of lobster, potatoes, corn on the cob, cole slaw and complimentary little pot of chocolate for dessert. Had a table just inside the restaurant from the outdoor cafe so it felt like being outdoors on a beautiful night. The waitress could not have been nicer - sweet, fun, helpful, attentive. The food was all delicious. Not the biggest lobster ever but so tasty. A lot of people must be out of town because there were many empty tables, something we never encountered before for Lobsterpalooza. The only issue we ever have there is the acoustics. It's very noisy, no matter whether you're in the front or back room.

- Oysters!!crystaldiscoDined on 7/25/2014Made a reservation here for 4 people at 5:45 PM. Staff was extremely prompt and professional. Make sure to make a reservation here before coming! While I was waiting for the rest of my group to arrive and for my table to be set up, I overheard a few people saying, "OMG an hour and 15 minute wait!" I ordered a Kentucky Green and a Peach Basil drink (forgot the name), and they were both excellent. I prefer the Kentucky Green a little more because the Peach one was a little too sour for my taste. OYSTERS WERE GREAT!! Decent sized and cut very cleanly; so far, no sand :) Comes with a vinegar salsa (?), cocktail sauce, and lemons wrapped in a yellow mesh sleeve. Calamari was pretty good but next time, I'll empty my wallet only for the oysters.Special Features:
- NICKNAMEDined on 7/16/2014It is highly overrated. The noise level is unbearable. Food is quite mediocre, as well as a service. The menu choices even for fish dishes are limited. There is no deserts.
- ProblematicButtonsDined on 7/14/2014Entrees good (liked the blackened catfish and hush puppies) and blue point oysters also good -- better than expected in fact. But fried oysters came cold. And boy this place is loud -- not for anyone with even slightly aging ears.
- Solid FoodTimothyDined on 7/13/2014The ambience and food here is fairly consistent. Love the dessert treat and little fish they give you in the end.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!KailaDined on 7/8/2014I took my boyfriend here for his birthday this week and we loved it! In fact, I'm about to book another reservation for this weekend because we can't get enough of their oysters!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Happy HourBappy34Dined on 7/7/2014My gf and I went for happy hour and some oysters. The $1 oysters were amazing and the drinks were great. We also ordered mini fish tacos (which are quite mini) and the gouda mac and cheese which is amazing. I would recommend for happy hour between 5-7 pm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceMariaDined on 7/2/2014We were seated to a great table even we though we arrived 15 minutes late to our reservation - what outstanding service! The food is delicious and their happy hour deals make it easy to try out different things. The soft shell crab on a bed of heirloom tomatoes was amazing!Special Features:
- Fab food and a touch loudDisappointedDined on 6/30/2014The food was fantastic. The octopus was on an interesting bed of greens, the catfish was outstanding and the tuna tartare was a refreshing mix of lime and avocado. The main dining room was incredibly loud and the back dining room had seemed significantly better - but it was hard to have a conversation. Also if you like them on Facebook you can get a coupon code for 20% off on Mondays!!!! And one last thing! They have an app for oysters called oysterpedia....brilliant idea!!! Two forks up in my book!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- old faithfuldianeDined on 6/30/2014It's always a great experience at Mermaid Inn (uptown). Fabulous service, great happy hour deals and fresh seafood. It's a true neighborhood gem.Special Features:
- Nice eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/28/2014Our second visit to this restaurant. Good atmosphere, tasty ice cold oysters and nice seafood entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could be perfect.......EileenVIPDined on 6/28/2014......but like MANY restaurants in NYC, the music is too loud!!!!! People like to talk to the person across the table from them!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the Mermaid Inn UptownNYCRTDined on 6/28/2014Great low key place with outdoor seating... and great food. The staff is on there toes to take care of you.Special Features:
- Recommend the skatedfnomnomDined on 6/27/2014Beautiful and cozy atmosphere. Attentive service and fantastic food. Had oysters, a side salad and the skate (which was meticulously presented without being fussy). If you're into dirty martinis you'll love the "hot and dirty" cocktail - couldn't resist having two.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great new find...OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/25/2014When we arrived early the hostess said that you were seating on time (in 30 minutes). There was no room at the bar for a cocktail so we left the restaurant and went next door. That was a bit of a turn off. We could not enjoy your Happy Hour cocktails!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow serviceslowserviceDined on 6/25/2014My wife and I were seated within a few minutes our 630 reservation. After ordering, we had to wait 50 mins for our appetizers (half dozen oysters, tuna crudo, shrimp cocktail). I was only told after asking twice that "sorry, the kitchen is really backed up right now". The manager and waitress did apologize and bought a round of cocktails only after I asked for the third time for a status update on our appetizers. Overall, still disappointed that we waited 50 mins for appetizers --- which none of the were cooked appetizers!!!
- Great Food-Great Service!SadieVIPDined on 6/22/2014This was my third visit to this location and for 2 of the 3 visitis I had the server named Ben and he is simply incredible so friendly and knowledgable! The food is always so fresh!I brought a friend with me for dinner as we were going to an event at The Beacon and it made for a perfect evening!! Thank you -Special Features:
- If you like seafood...TomMVIPDined on 6/20/2014Excellent selection and preparation...cold apps...oysters...and some not so typical dishes like Skate. Very nice outdoor section as well. Come hungry!Special Features:
- Great fish!BecksDined on 6/20/2014Happy hour oysters and great fish main courses. Atmosphere is vibrant however you can still hear yourself talk. Very popular - requires a reservation. Ask for the front room - it is brighter! Great bar seating as well.Special Features:
- Pot of CrabsNyersLayersDined on 6/17/2014We went here for my brother's birthday, but we also choose here because we heard about the Pot of Crab Summer Special. We ordered a couple buckets and ate it family-style. It was really fun, and of course, the food is awesome, too!Special Features:
- Great UWS SpotNYCFANVIPDined on 6/14/2014Had a great experience on Saturday evening, made the tail end of Happy Hour so got to take advantage of tasting some additional items. Clams on half shell were the freshest we had ever tasted. There was as soft shell crab appetizer dipped in corn meal and served over watermelon and jalapeno.....to die for!!! Love the fact that there is no dessert and they automatically give you a pot de crème at the end of the meal. Can't wait to go back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LMitDined on 6/14/2014Tables VERY close together. If you have more than four people it would be hard to hear each other. Generous happy hour -- drinks limited but includes some food and you don't have to be at the bar.
- always the bestOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/13/2014my wife and I go here for special occasions- birthdays and anniversaries. we were about ten minutes late for our reservation on a rainy night but were still greeted with smiles and acknowledgement of the birthday mentioned in the reservation. seated right away. probably the most attentive service from host, server, bus boy of any restaurant in new york city. waiter was pro-active in allowing us to get our first orders in during their happy hour. you really get good portions for your money. lobster roll is delicious and a good size, and you get a pile of Old Bay fries with it.Special Features:
- Happy HourOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 6/11/2014WE really enjoyed our happy hour time with nice, briny oysters at a reasonable price! we added a few other great appetizers like tuna tartare. The house white wine is very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
