The North-South Digital Divide in Information and Communication Technologies Development: the Case for Spanish Regions
AbstractThe "New Economy" is a concept that is associated with the growth of the US economy in the second half of the nineties, which were characterised by high growth in GDP. In attempt to find an explanation for these events, research to date cites the main determinant to be the marked rise in labour productivity that came about as a result of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies, particularly the Internet. The purpose of the present study is to examine the phenomenon that has arisen around this "new or digital economy" and the development of the Internet from the macro and microeconomic viewpoint and then show how the Spanish regions lag behind the rest of Europe in this respect. Firstly, we present international evidences of the positive impact of ICT in terms of labour and multifactorial productivity in national economies, industrial sectors and firms. These evidences are contrasted with some spanish studies. Secondly, we measure the importance of ICT in Europe. We base our method on a set of indicators, classified into three areas: infrastructure and size of sector, use of Internet and electronic commerce, and social and economic effects. We then examine the Spanish situation electronic commerce, and social and economic effects. We then examine the Spanish situation within the context of the rest of Europe, and discover a major north-south digital divide affecting certain areas, along with major interregional disparities. As far as Internet development is concerned, there are major regional differences. The paper points out the fact that Spain registers the highest standard deviation, in other words, the greatest regional differences, which, reflected in terms of different synthetic/composite indicators. This lag in progress contrasts with Spain's public policies aimed at promoting the Internet. Nevertheless, Internet development can provide the opportunity to close this gap within the EU. It may, however, increase discrepancies between the regions, by giving regions with higher per capita income an advantage in terms of productivity and competitiveness, unless a determined effort is made to implement actions aimed at developing the information society.

I am deeply saddened by this betrayal, but not shocked. It's a sign of our times. Boehner's "convictions" are skin deep only and can change at a moment's notice, depending on which way the political winds are blowing. He is spineless and completely lacking in moral strength. He's the type of Republican we must retire from serving, as he only serves himself and the power players, not the people.

Address: 1500 Lakeview Blvd.
Date Built: 1958
Original Architect/Builder: Robert Reichert
Description: Post World War II Modernist Northwest Architecture, designed triangular form on a rectangular plane atop a pier block.
Original Owners: Admiral Willard Egan, United States Navy, Retired.
Historic Seattle acquired the Egan House in 1998 in partnership with the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department. When the Parks Department purchased the surrounding land for greenbelt space, City of Seattle Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck stressed the building's significance, and was instrumental to the success of the project. He advocated Historic Seattle's role as the house's new owner and steward. A feasibility study was conducted to determine the condition of the house, which supported the refurbishing project, completed in 2003. A subsequent renovation and restoration project was completed in 2003.
The Egan House's exterior work included repairs to deteriorated and insect
damaged wood, a new roof, paint, and support column
for the cantilever above the entryway. Interior work included paint,
heating system improvements, tile replacement, and bathroom and
kitchen upgrades. We received a construction and mortgage loan
from NorthStar Bank to complete this work and Lee Stanton provided
design and project management services for this project. Since
September 2003, the house has served as single family rental maintained by Historic Seattle.
The 1958 building is the youngest in Historic Seattle's portfolio.
When first constructed, the building represented a shift away from
traditionalist styles. Its preservation has helped Historic Seattle expand its
advocacy and educational programming to support recognition of
modern design as a significant part of our architectural heritage.

:: Home > Blog > Romanian gambling is a sure bet for casinos
19. 12. 12. - 17:00
19. 12. 12. - 17:00
Even though I work for an addiction treatment centre and I thought I knew the addiction situation in Romania, where I live, I had no idea that gambling addiction is such a big problem here. But after going to a conference on the issue (organised by Psymotion, a private psychiatric clinic in Bucharest, and a new NGO called the Association for the Prevention and Treatment of Gambling Addiction) I now understand the true scale of the problem.
The statistics are unbelievable: there are more than 10,000 small neighbourhood betting shops and casinos in Romania. An estimated 1.5 million Romanians use these shops and 10% of them are assumed to be compulsive, or addicted, gamblers. This part of the gambling industry turns over a minimum of 1.2 billion Euro a year and, according to what I heard at the conference, the companies involved are able to dodge taxes due to poor enforcement and weak legislation. The online part of this industry is also worth billions, and is totally unregulated and untaxed.
"Out of all the EU Member States," writes Alexandru Varzaru in the Romanian investigate weekly Kamikaze, "our legislation is the most permissive. Romania has become a heaven for the gambling industry." He describes walking through Bucharest and seeing betting shops or casinos in virtually every street, and how their number has increased during the recession.
Romania's government seems unable to stop the uncontrolled expansion of this industry, or collect taxes from it. I was informed that the Ministry of Finance is only able to collect about 2% of the taxes owed by this industry. They are also unable to enforce the law that forbids gambling operators to advertise -- one of the biggest billboard campaigns currently in Bucharest is for betting shops.
Many of the small betting shops are in villages, where tax officials rarely go, and the big gambling operations use an old trick: they close down one company, complete with big tax bills, and open up a new one. Astra Bettings, one of the biggest chains of betting shops, went bust with debts of 14.5 million Euro. And there are scores of other examples.
Sebastian Bodu, a Member of the European Parliament, tried to bring some order to the gambling sector when he was head of Romania's tax collection agency ANAF. He introduced legislation "written in my own hand" that was intended to prosecute companies who closed down one company and then set up another. Unfortunately this law has not been enforced.
Bodu said the casinos and gambling companies were known to "try and avoid taxes in a fraudulent manner...We did a series of big raids in 2005 and 5 or 6 big casinos were temporarily closed and their licences were suspended. A series of court cases followed; we lost some and won some. But in the end none of those big casinos were closed down permanently."
The number of people using these gambling facilities -- both online and in the neighbourhoods -- has skyrocketed, and the number of gambling addicts is reaching epidemic proportions. Unfortunately, the vast majority of gambling addicts in Romania lack the funds (or the motivation) to go to some form of therapy. It is also a problem that seems to go unrecognised by the health authorities and the public. It is an invisible epidemic taking place among the poor.
Out of all the addictions, gambling is the one that results in the most suicides. "It's a disease that kills" says Dr Timothy Fong, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA, "25% of gamblers who have entered treatment have tried to kill themselves". Compare that figure with drug addicts and alcoholics - of whom about 10 to 15% attempt suicide - and it puts into context how dangerous gambling can be.
Rupert Wolfe Murray is based in Bucharest and is the European Representative of Castle Craig Hospital, a rehab clinic in Scotland.

Are you too nice for your own good? Or… are you a type of person that would never be labeled as "nice" in a million years? Even if you are neither of these, you will most likely enjoy Alesia Holliday's latest novel Nice Girls Finish First.
This book is told from two points of view. Firstly, there is Kirby, VP of marketing for a sex toy manufacturer. She is a type of woman that has never been mistaken for being nice. As a matter of fact, after recently firing most of her department, her boss Banning Stuart has issued an ultimatum: Kirby either gets someone to declare that she is nice, or she will not be able to go on the Italian vacation she has planned. Not only that, she will lose her job. Kirby steps up to the challenge, albeit a bit reluctantly. After all, you don't get ahead in life by being nice, right?

Barnes & Noble, Samsung intro low-end, low-cost Galaxy Tab 4 Nook
It's alive! The Nook brand, although badly hurt by the downfall of e-readers, lives on in the form of a Frankensteinian hybrid that combines Barnes & Noble's Android skin with Samsung's TouchWiz UI for the most non-Android Android experience not hailing from Amazon's labs.
Rookie Lenovo wearable effort, Yoga Tablet 2 Pro spotted en route to IFA
There aren't many device manufacturers as involved and successful as Lenovo in so many different branches of the vast tech market, but as versatile and rich the company's product portfolio currently is, there's apparently room for more.
Back to school whopper: Spend $700 on select Dell gear, get free Venue 7 tablet
Summer vacation is nearly over, so you young rascals out there are probably trying to make the best of the little free time you have left. But if you can spare a moment between all the partying, the wandering around aimlessly and carefree and the not thinking about school, maybe we can smoothen your return to the classroom.
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact incoming, likely with sub-8 inch display
Seeing Sony tease its next month's IFA presence with no hint whatsoever regarding a tablet announcement sure caught us by surprise, but we figured the Z3/Z3 Compact smartphone pair simply required too much work to leave room for a Z3 Tablet.
Updated Lenovo ThinkPad 8 with 4 GB RAM, 4G LTE shows up for sale in Europe
After tweaking its larger 10-inch ThinkPad tablet to accommodate higher-end specifications back in April, Lenovo seems to have just done the same for the ThinkPad 8. With little to no fanfare, that is, as the new, upgraded 8-inch Windows slate showed up unannounced on Lenovo's German online store, going for €460 and up.
LG G Pad 8.0 scores 4G LTE connectivity, launches this week in Europe
Completely absent from the tablet game not long ago, LG made a critically acclaimed and mainstream-appealing comeback with the G Pad 8.3, but that was just the beginning. Next up, the Koreans brought to light a trio of lower-end G Pads to battle Samsung's countless Galaxy Tabs.
Get ready for Windows 9 and possible public previews
Not too long ago, it seems, consumers were in an uproar over the new release of Windows 8 and all the fancy changes that came with. Remember all the sand in everyone's undies? Well, here we are today with Windows 9 right around the corner.
HP cooks up revised Chromebook 11 G3 with Intel Bay Trail power
Thus far, HP has kept a consistent distance between its two Chromebook lines performance-wise, fitting the smaller, lower-end 11-inch models with ARM-based Exynos chips, and the larger, beefed-up 14 inchers with Intel Celeron processing solutions.
Asus confirms pre-IFA September 3 event, sets out 'in search of incredible' again
Say what you will about Asus, but the Taiwan-based PC, tablet and smartphone producer has never been a big fan of prudence. Its entire device roster, from PadFones to Fonepads to Transformer Pads and Zenfones, has risks written all over it, and even in terms of release timelines, Asus has rarely applied caution.
Lenovo is now selling more phones than computers
Lenovo is still very much tied to the PC market, but between its increasing focus towards smartphones and a market-wide decline in PC sales, Lenovo is now selling more smartphones than computers. For the first time in the company's history it has moved more smartphones than PCs, primarily because of a massive growth in phone sales. Both categories, PCs and phones, saw year-on-year growth.
Deal alert: Refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 at $430 on eBay
While waiting for the no doubt groundbreaking, Quad HD display-toting, potentially metal-made Galaxy Note 4, hardcore fans of Samsung's S Pen-supporting gadget line may be tempted by the family's largest member yet.
Hackers think they are above the law, survey shows
Hackers are very often breaking the law, but that doesn't seem to phase them according to a new survey. Thycotic, a password protection firm, interviewed a group of 127 hackers during the Black Hat 2014 conference and tried to figure out what motivates them and how they think about getting caught. The majority of hackers just do it for the fun provided by hacking while 19 percent admit to having a financial motive.

BELLA VITA. I loved that place. Did you get the Beacon Hill Delight? Because if you didn't, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.ReplyDelete
I'm going to bed jealous tonight.
{love that last pic}
i'm so jealous. i love, love, love boston. i lived there for a few years about 10 years ago. the best decision i ever made...i still can't figure out why i left. i often think about moving back...someday, someday. love the pics. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I came to Boston on my 8th grade trip! lol... but we're actually planning a New England vacation this summer and Boston is on the itinerary!! can't wait!!!ReplyDelete
I've never been to Boston but it sounds kind of delightful, maybe next time i'm back in north america i'll make it there...ReplyDelete
@elizabeth, i got the beacon hill delight LAST time i went. not this time. still friends?ReplyDelete
@chelle, the more the merrier, come on back!
@lynn, woohoo!! have fun!!
That theatre is beautiful - how fun he has Thursdays off, it must be so nice to be able to visit all your favorite places as a family mid-week. Happy Monday!ReplyDelete
I live in Boston (well, Brighton if we're being technical!) I have a love/hate relationship with it at the moment; I love the public garden & Beacon Hill this time of year, and biking along the esplanade. I hate T and not being able to escape the city on a whim (sans car, boo!)ReplyDelete
I have been to Boston once and I LOVED it. I was only there for about 5 days but I would love to go back for a more extended vacation.ReplyDelete
Love these photos. They really capture the beauty of Boston.ReplyDelete
That last pic is so so good.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness these pictures make me miss Boston so much! Boston is my favorite city. And every time I visit I have to go to the Paramount. I love that place! Have you ever gone for breakfast/brunch? I'm convinced they have the best omelets.ReplyDelete
lovely place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I found the people there were not friendly (I'm from the midwest). However, I love downtown and CRAVE some cannoli from the Italian district!! You can't lose there :)ReplyDelete
@lyndsay, yes! egg sandwich AND pancakes once. soooo good.ReplyDelete
@laura and Adam, aw man. promise there are some nice ones!
I have never been to boston but I wanna! the mr is just about to start a new job (in sydney) that has its HQ in boston. I'm sure he'll need me to keep him company when he heads over ;)ReplyDelete
I LOVE Boston. In fact, I'm moving there in 3 months and I can't wait!ReplyDelete
i love that photo of you and parker so much i can hardly stand it. one of my besties went to harvard for her masters so i've been to boston to visit her and LOVED it. i may be back in the next couple of months.ReplyDelete
I love Boston through your eyes. Such great photos, Bridget. Beautiful.ReplyDelete
i haven't been to many places in the States-so I can't say it is my 'favourite' place there-but I loved it. Loved the markets and the student feel, the green space and the way you can walk around the city so easily.ReplyDelete
We love Boston! I always told my hubby that if we ever had (and I mean HAD) to leave Chicago that Boston would be next on my list.ReplyDelete
i live in beantown!ReplyDelete
clover.. mmm. our newfound favorite! chick pea fritters!!!
the one of you and parker is magic!ReplyDelete
Next time stop at the Clover in Harvard Sq. and get a cup of coffee, its great. Also, check out my friend Jamie's restaurants - Toro and Coppa, they both do lunch/dinner and brunch on Sundays. I blogged about my most recent trip to Coppa here:ReplyDelete
My only trip to Boston was for a wedding and the only thing I saw was that wedding. Well, and the side of the interstate b/c our cab driver didn't know where our hotel was, so he pulled over on the INTERSTATE to call someone for directions. It was a little frightening. But anyway, that's not really a good trip to Boston. I would love to go back and see it for real.ReplyDelete
From the (very) Northshore!ReplyDelete
I love me some Boston, but nothing beats the Northshore to come home to.
So jealous of your Athenaeum tour! And the first picture is just the cutest.
It's as if you're asking me to lust after Steve.ReplyDelete
I love Boston - it was love at first sight when I visited a few years ago, and if I ever end up living in the US that would be where I would want to live. One of the reasons I started following your blog is that you're from this area and I love seeing the pics!ReplyDelete
I'm from right outside of Boston and I currently live in Somerville. The Paramount is the greatest. I've never been to Bella Vita, but I'll be sure to check it out!ReplyDelete
I'm going to Boston for the first time in July, and am so excited!ReplyDelete
Well, you know how I feel about this city.ReplyDelete
Can't get enough!
The Paramount is tops! And Bella Vita too (Natalie and I met up for coffee there just a short time ago-- and Elizabeth! I got the Beacon Hill Delight! DReeeeaMY.) I think Beacon Hill is my absolute favorite. But I'll gladly take it all. GLADLY.
I loved your pic by the Charles. Such a beautiful day. And that last one of you and Parker by the Hatch Shell? Well, that might just be the best picture of all time. It's beyond precious.
Love all these photos, Bridget! They're so good!
i LOVE boston! i lived there for a short 3 months when i graduated college in 2008, but had visited monthly while in college. but the job market sucked so sadly i had to move away but i dream of going back one day!ReplyDelete
i went to boston once for my 8th grade trip.ReplyDelete
hopefully next time i go back, it'll be a different experience, since, ya know, i'm all grown up now.
but i am jealous of all the warm you guys have been having lately. maybe moving farther north wouldn't be a bad idea, after all...
I am from Boston! I live right outside Boston in Waltham. I love it here, even though Bostonians are mean and dirty (rubbish, wise)ReplyDelete
Faneuil hall and tias are a summer must!
I'm dyyyying to see Boston. And aren't you dying to visit Vancouver? I propose a home-swap...that way we're both happy, right? :) Loving your photos, Bridget. One day the hubby and I will get to Boston & experience all that wonderfulness!ReplyDelete
Love the photos, I am from the UK and have visited the US, but only New York, Miami, and Washington. I would love to visit Boston. In fact there are loads of places I would love to visit.ReplyDelete
@alisha, a home exchange is in order, methinks.ReplyDelete
Dude, I live outside of Boston in Arlington. But my kids go to school on Beacon Hill right near Cheers. Even though I am in Boston EVERY DAY, I still marvel at it and love it. It is so gorgeous! I even love the grumpy people! The Paramount is great. Clover Food is great...just noticed a new one at Inman Sq. in addition to the Harvard one. And they have a good truck?! Will have to stop by.ReplyDelete
I also lived on the No. Shore for 10 years, which has all its own magical delights (beaches, for one, and ice cream and fried seafood).
Great pics, Bridget!
I'm from Massachusetts (lived there until I was 14!) and I am the biggest Boston fan (both in terms of sports and just the general living conditions) around. We visited again last December and I remembered how much I LOVE that city - so jealous that you get to live there!ReplyDelete
I LOVE Boston! I've visited a few times and would live there in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. Those cinnamon sugar dusted parsnips sound SO mouth watering delicious. (sigh)ReplyDelete
I will be living in Boston in less than a week! I'm going there this summer for an internship at Anthropologie and will be living with my aunt and uncle (in Framingham). Do you have any suggestions for great places that are must sees in the Boston area? I am SO excited!ReplyDelete
Done! Seriously. :)ReplyDelete
@kailee, how fun!! my friend elizabeth has a good guide from her days living here - check it out here: http://www.e-tells-tales.com/2010/03/elizabeths-guide-to-boston.htmlReplyDelete
I live in the Back Bay and try so so hard not to take it for granted. The Comm Ave mall is right outside my door and I do my best to marvel at it every day!ReplyDelete
We are planning to move outside of the city in the next year or two so that we can have some green space (I'm trying to convince my husband that we need chickens) and access to a more reliable school system (lots of great public schools in Boston but it's a lottery system, so you can get stuck really easily). It makes me sad to think about leaving!
i love it here. i wouldn't live any other place :)ReplyDelete
I went to college in Boston, and your post just made me miss it so much! Hopefully I'll get to go visit this summer!ReplyDelete
LOVE Boston- my hubby and I went there to celebrate out one year wedding anniversay last April. I wish we could have went this year but I'm heading to Vegas this month for a close friend's wedding and money is tight! We'd love to live there, but our jobs are too good here in upstate NY...bummer!ReplyDelete
Looove Boston. I live in Somerville and probably will never live in the city proper again. Too noisy and too many students throwing up. It was fun in college though!ReplyDelete
Love the clover food truck, now I work in Longwood and don't get downtown much so I miss their afternoon treats...apple fritters anyone???
I was in Boston when I was about 6 or 7 but I remember very little - most notably I remember the Make Way for Ducklings statues. :) But this summer I am spending a month in Martha's Vineyard with the family I nanny for and I am hoping to explore Boston for a couple days while we are up there. Let me know some of your fav places there!ReplyDelete
Boston is my favorite place. It's the only city that makes me feel homesick, and I tear up every time I leave. I've vacationed there in the winter and fall. I absolutely love it. I'm determined to live there by 30 (few years left), and pretty certain I'd never leave (I live in California). I miss getting DD (Starbucks sucks in my opinion). I need a chowdah fix like no other. I miss the Common, TD Garden.. I could go on, but I'm sure you already know of all the great things in Boston. :)ReplyDelete
Boston just so happens to be my boyfriend - oh yes - boston takes me on beautiful adventure walks, dinner/lunch/breakie dates, spends full days with me at art museums, finds me new friends all over, buys me J.Crew whenever I want, takes me to red sox games on a moments notice, and protects me when I walk home at 2am. I never feel lonely in beantown. I love Boston and Boston loves me back. I can't wait to til me and the new hubby go to live - so i can have a steamy-city-love affair on top of an awesome marriage ;)ReplyDelete
I live in Boston and these pictures reminded me of the most perfect Sunday morning I had last week - with a long, quiet run on the Charles, watching the cute Harvard boys row their hearts out, and taking a minute to enjoy beauty of this fabulous city. :)ReplyDelete
Im from New York but Im going to be a Gordon-er next year! My sister also went to Gordon and she showed me your incredibly cute blog:) Love it!ReplyDelete
I'm from Worcester, but always dreamed of living in Boston. I lived in NYC for awhile and am now in Austin but I love living vicariously through your blog!ReplyDelete

New bikes
07 August 2009 08:06
These are the first pictures of BMW's official new S1000RR in race team colours.The new bike is the exact replica of the one raced by Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus in the World Superbike championship.
This bike is the top-spec model in the S1000RR's line-up. Expect to see three options available, a standard bike, a model with the full electronics package including traction control, and this with the electronics and the limited edition race team colours. More details as the information becomes available later.

Went in to a BMW dealer in Brisbane Australia and asked about the bike they wanted $26,500 AUD or 14,500 GPB for the top speck bike i feel there just trying to rip us of down under it seem like the sales team think we are stupid people here and a Japanese super sports bikes CBR, R1, GSXR, ZX10 $18,500 approximately on road.
BMW doesn't relies super sports bike Market is tough to be in, and in today and dumped tomorrow
I could not see any difference in the quality of the BMW bike to Japanese Bike for $26,500 that $8000 more, imagine the gear i could buy for bike Japanese Super Supers Bike a real killer!!!!!!!!!!!!
01 October 2009 12:10
Fingers crossed.
I placed my order for this bike in July, 2008. I put down a reasonable deposit, thinking it would probobly be the first to do so, and found out that I was already the fith person, at that dealer to stump up the deposit. For a all-new bike from BMW, it's certainly getting the attention!!

Correcting MCN's Statement Above
I have the community for the S1000RR machines at BMWSuperBikes.com, so know about them more than the guy on the street. The Motorsports colors, which is the white model with racing stripes is not the exact replica as the WSBK colors. It's one of those rare instances that MCN gets it wrong.
The WSBK bike has larger stripes/decals on the upper portion of the bike. And the street version has decals on the lower portion.
This an image link to the Motorsports color.
And an image link to the WSBK colors.
As for the headlights, the photos never do them justice, you should see this bike in person. It's a game changer in every way. BMW is offering you 200hp for 13,800US. Ducati wants 66,000 and MV asks for 120,000 for 200hp machines. Japanese 1000cc don't even offer them.
09 August 2009 14:39
ooooh yeah
The black one looks better than any of the usual suspects in sports bike i think this bike is going to do well. good job to klaus and the crew at BMW

You've probably noticed a constant shift in the licensing landscape as software publishers strive to accommodate evolving customer requirements (thought I'd put it nicely). For example, bundling is a popular tactic, where products are grouped together and additional discounts or advantageous use-rights applied when you acquire the bundle. In many cases, a bundle represents an attractive option; however, at times they also include unintended pitfalls. Lately, I've seen one specific issue surface quite a bit. What's more, it has serious compliance ramifications so I'd like to spend some time getting you up to speed. If you currently have a Microsoft Enrollment for Application Platform (EAP), or the newest incarnation called the Server/Cloud Enrollment (SCE), you should know that from a logistical standpoint there could be a dark cloud looming over your organization, so please read on.

When Microsoft announced the actual release date for SQL 2014 many modern businesses simply looked at the latest database offering from Microsoft and saw just that: new software. Sure, it's easy to get caught up in all the features—like enhanced BI tools, easier management through Always On, enhanced memory utilization, and the ease of scaling your on-premise SQL deployment to the Azure platform. Since it's been ranked the most secure database platform for the last five years running, it is simple to see why so many IT Directors and CTO/CIOs are jumping ship from Oracle and shifting their platforms to SQL. There are a plethora of high-end capabilities that businesses are able to leverage from this incredible software. I, however, want to focus on something that might go unnoticed by far too many. That something is timing.

Right now, the vast majority of the customers I talk to have chosen to migrate to Windows 7. They are doing this for a lot of good reasons, and I get it. But it's also becoming clear that specific use-cases within an organization can really benefit from Windows 8/8.1. For more information about what Windows 8 can bring to your organization, read on.

If you aren't socially media adept, you may have missed the piece of video that went viral yesterday. Cardinal Matt Adams went into the stands to try to make a catch, which a fan ended up making. It was clearly in the stands, so no fan interference was called. As Adams was righting himself, he seems to shove the fan. Perhaps he was catching his balance, and perhaps he was retaliating for the perceived blocking of the ball. Hard to tell what was happening in the video, and Adams is surprised by the questioning afterwards, which kind of tells you he wasn't spending a lot of time thinking about it.
Fans of both the Cardinals and the Reds feel some solid enmity for the other team, as well, so the fans reaction to Adams, which is a strong gesture with his non-gloved hand, certainly does not on its own mean that much happened. Here is a link to the MLB video of the moment. What do you think?
Mark Lerner, Principal Owner of the Washington Nationals, says the team has maxed out its budget. That means there is no more money to go out and find players, should the Nationals need them to make their expected run at a playoff this year. That could handcuff the GM a bit, or it could force him to become quite creative. Either way, fans shouldn't be too concerned that ownership isn't behind winning. The team currently has a $140 million payroll, and has some depth, so there are pieces that can be traded. Here is more from Adam Kilgore.
Lastly, I am trying to get back into the rhythm of blogging everyday. It helps when folks comment, so I know someone has missed the updates. I have also become much more active on social media, so make sure you check out @Johanna_Wagner on twitter or even instagram @lmt_johanna.

Letter: Passing on lies as fact, myth as information
Rich Scholer, Vero Beach
Letter: Passing on lies as fact, myth as information
When I was kid I knew very few people who lied. Today it seems that everyone lies. It's almost become a way of life.
I think that most people lie without even knowing it. The biggest violators are the morons who read, send and believe each unverified email message.
I think that most people like to hear lies that refortify their political or religious positions.
Many years ago I was told by a moron that, when testifying, be very careful and remember that a lie well told and stuck to is as good as the truth.
What a farce that is. I think that probably the lie was either invented or originated in the Chicago area. It seems that more lies come from that area of the country than anyplace else.
Sometimes I wonder what is worse, the moron telling the lies or the moron who believes the lies.
Can you remember being told years ago, "Do not believe anything you hear; believe only half of what you read, and the only thing you can believe is what you see." Today that is not true. The old saying should be revised to, "Do not believe anything you hear, read or see."
It utterly amazes me when an acquaintance will say, "Did you see that video? It was amazing." The bottom line is that the video often is a lie, a sham, a product of the modern-day electronics era.
If you're not going to verify anything then you go back to the adage of the three monkeys. They do not hear, speak or see evil. Think about those bananas, Cheetah.

Portland is acclaimed for its beauty, vitality and livability. Residents combine an appreciation of both cultural and recreational activities with a comfortable, informal style which embraces diversity. Friendly people, moderate climate, varied recreational activities and magnificent scenery all add to the enjoyment of life in the Pacific Northwest. Portland has been voted the most bike-friendly city in the United States and has a very usable and well-coordinated mass transit system.
While Portland is known for rain, more than not, it is gentle and short-lived, and it undoubtedly keeps the city green. The average annual rainfall is 42 inches, giving you a great excuse to invest in a new raincoat. While there are seasonal variations, the weather is without extremes of heat or cold. It rarely gets below freezing in winter. The summer days are typically full of clear blue skies with a peak temperature in the low 80's and nighttime low in the high 50's. Most Portlanders forgo air conditioning.
Portland and its surrounding areas offer an assortment of recreational opportunities. The thrill seekers will enjoy everything from showboarding to kitesurfing to zoobombing. Portland is easily one of the top hiking cities in the entire US. Within an hour or two drive of this metropolis, lies a variety of landscapes, from deserts to a lush forested coast line, high altitude peaks draped with glaciers, and even an active volcano, all with abundant hiking trails. Those who like a more leisurely activity may enjoy snowshoeing, waterfall exploring or berry picking, the beautiful Pacific ocean beaches are just 90 miles away. Mountain lakes, streams and snowcapped peaks are within 60 miles. Mt. Hood offers the only year-round skiing in the U.S. The world-famous Columbia River Gorge begins just 25 miles east of Portland. Forest Park, the largest wilderness park within city limits in the U.S., offers 74 miles of trails along streams and in old-growth forests. The Willamette River, which cuts through the city, is popular for boating, water skiing and salmon fishing. For those who enjoy a good sporting event the city is home to Portland Trail Blazers basketball, Winter Hawks hockey, the National Women's Soccer League Champion Portland Thorns and Major League Soccer team the Portland Timbers. There are also many local recreational leagues for a variety of interests, including basketball, softball, flag football, Frisbee golf and Ultimate Frisbee.
Portland has been described as the new foodie paradise in the New York Times because of the plethora of restaurants and food carts. You can enjoy everything from southern food with a northwest flair to smorgasbord of Thai food to the most delightful vegan and vegetarian fare you can imagine. In addition, you can find exciting nightlife, dozens of microbreweries, and hundreds of coffee houses making Portland an enjoyable place to relax.
If wine is what you fancy, visit the Willamette Valley enjoying more than 200 wineries. A day of wine tasting and a picnic at a gorgeous vineyard can be a perfect ending to the week.
Powell's Books is the world's largest independent new and used bookstore. The International Rose Test Gardens boast more than 8,000 differing types of exquisite roses.
The Portland Saturday Market offers crafts, food and entertainment from March to December. The art galleries in the Pearl District have special open houses during the evening on the first Thursday of each month. Alberta Street offers an alternative last Thursday of the month celebration with local artists and street-wide activities. Local farmers markets can be found throughout Portland from April to October, with the largest market downtown on the park blocks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is lifting the six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico imposed after the BP oil spill, officials said Tuesday.
The Interior Department scheduled a 1 p.m. news conference in which Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is to "discuss the current suspensions on deepwater drilling," the Interior Department said.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — U.S. and U.K. military officials have started what's promised as a thorough investigation into the death of a kidnapped British aid worker who may have been killed in error by U.S. special forces — rather than, as originally stated, by her Taliban captors.
Linda Norgrove's death has reverberated through the corridors of power from Kabul, to London, to Washington — where President Barack Obama expressed condolences and pledged "to get to the bottom" of what happened during the deadly raid.
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Hurricane Paula smashed homes and forced schools to close in Honduras on Tuesday as it headed toward Mexico's resort-dotted Yucatan Peninsula.
Paula formed Monday off the coast of Honduras and quickly intensified into a hurricane early Tuesday, said the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
HICKORY, N.C. (AP) — Relatives of a missing 10-year-old North Carolina girl whose bone cancer left her with a prosthetic leg and hearing aids described the child's life as miserable, saying she was locked in her room for most of the day and was punished over little things.
Zahra Clare Baker was reported missing Saturday, but police said they have had trouble finding anyone outside the household who had seen the girl alive in the last few weeks. Authorities also cast doubt on what the couple had told them.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Republican gubernatorial candidate Susana Martinez says her campaign has raised more than $1 million during the past month.
Candidates for governor and other state offices face a deadline Tuesday for reporting their fundraising since early September as campaigns prepared for the start of early voting.
Martinez, the district attorney in Las Cruces, and Democrat Diane Denish are running for governor.
Monday, Oct. 11, is celebrated as Columbus Day, which means that it's a federal holiday. The mail won't be delivered today since the post office is closed, Los Alamos National Laboratory is closed, and many financial institutions are closed as well.
Los Alamos Public Schools also observe the Columbus Day holiday, but Los Alamos County offices are open for business as usual. The Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center is open on regular hours today.
The County's Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Evaluation and Oversight Committee will hold the next set of public hearings on Phase 1 applications at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday in Council Chambers.
The following applications will be reviewed:
• Ice Rink Cover (CIP-035-1) — Study to provide a cover for the County Ice Rink.
Beginning Tuesday, the Los Alamos County Pavement Department will begin stage one of reconstruction of West Road from Diamond to Fairway. The work is a jumpstart on next year's construction project in the area. Expect various lane closures with flagging operations.
Pavement Director Tom Roach estimates the construction project to be completed within a two week period dependent on any weather delays.
For more information, call the County of Los Alamos Public Works Department at 662-8150.
The New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department confirmed Friday that the agency launched an investigation late in the week surrounding an alleged childcare business which may be operating illegally out of a home at 525 Navajo.
This is the same residence where Katrina Vigil, 25, allegedly gave birth Sept. 24 to a baby boy, Grey Vigil, and then reportedly did not seek medical attention for herself or the newborn. Grey died 10 days later in hospice care in Rio Rancho.
Editor's note: This is part two of a three-part series regarding the Los Alamos County Community Survey.
There is always room for improvement and the 2010 Los Alamos County Community Survey revealed a few areas in the county that could use attention.

Yorkshire celebs join marathon effort in Jane's memory
Yorkshire's leading sporting sons and daughters will today help launch the county's own marathon, which is being established in memory of late charity fundraiser Jane Tomlinson CBE.
Cricket legend Dickie Bird, TV football pundit Chris Kamara and double Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft will help launch the event in York.
The Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon, which is expected to raise up to £500,000 for charities in its first year, will take place in the city on October 20.
The 26.2 mile race is being organised by Jane Tomlinson's For All Events, which was set up by the Tomlinson family as a legacy to late Wakefield-born fundraiser and campaigner.
Jane Tomlinson raised almost £2 million for charity in her lifetime by tackling a series of endurance challenges despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The former amateur athlete died in September 2007.
Kamara, who will help launch the marathon at Clifford's Tower in York today, said:
I know Jane Tomlinson was a massive inspiration to me and I'm sure she was to many, many other people. I hope thousands of people pull on their running shoes to take part in this, the first Yorkshire marathon. Good luck everyone, I know it will be a huge success and bring in lots of money for deserving causes.
Cockroft, who is also supporting the event, said it would build on Yorkshire's incredible showing in the 2012 Olympics. She said:
Last summer proved that Yorkshire was the best county for sport in Britain and now that Yorkshire has its very own marathon, people can come and share in the legacy that was created. I know that this event will be fantastic fun, bringing people together and allowing them to achieve lifetime goals at the same time as raising money for some amazing charities.
Jane Tomlinson's For All Events already runs the successful Leeds, York, Hull and Pennine-Lancashire 10Ks and the sell-out Leeds Half Marathon.
Jane's widower Mike Tomlinson said he hoped the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon would now become a major highlight of the UK's sporting calendar.
– Mike Tomlinson
I know it will be extremely popular because there is still that great feeling of the Olympic legacy. Look at all Yorkshire achieved in the 2012 Games. There is no doubt that Yorkshire is exactly the place to launch a new marathon.
Runners will be able to raise funds for any cause of their choice or one of the event's partner charities - Martin House Children's Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support, Yorkshire Cancer Research, Parkinson's UK, the Haven, Clic Sargent, Candlelighters, St Leonard's Hospice, Sue Ryder Care and the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.
Anyone wishing to register for the event should go to www.theyorkshiremarathon.com or follow it on twitter @RunYorkshire.

In the middle of the green hills between Cecina, the lovely beach and the medieval town of Volterra, lies the farm Le Tegole. There is plenty to do for all the family including a playground, and a tennis court.
The farm is completely secluded from the outside world. A 3 km long road (partial dirt road, partial paved) leads you up to this lovely place where you can forget the car and enjoy the surroundings, once you have done your shopping that is. If you do not wish to cook, you don't have to since there is a restaurant on site.
The children will find that this is a paradise where they can swim, run and play ball games far from traffic and noise. Besides the beautiful and panoramic swimming pool with a separate children's pool, there is also a playground and a football pitch which can be used for football and tennis (you should bring their own rackets). Parents need not worry as the entire property is surrounded by a high fence that was put up to prevent the many wild boar living in the woods from getting close to the dwellings.
The apartments are nicely furnished with solid wood furniture and beds. They all have TV, heating control, an iron and ironing board. There is no air conditioning, but the area is quite cool at night because of the dense forest and the cool sea breezes in the evening. In the large garden there is a table and chairs for everyone - some apartments have a private terrace or garden.
Riparbella, Tuscany
This ticks many boxes for those seeking character in 17th Century accommodation in charismatic and scenic surroundings, and also for those wishing to visit the coast, the beach and interesting towns and villages. It's all possible here.
Riparbella, Tuscany
Fattoria La Steccaia is a renovated farm complex that lies in the heart of a 70 acre estate, immersed in the lush greenery of the countryside and yet only 9 km from Tuscany's beautiful coastline.
Pomaia, Tuscany
La Pieve di Pomaia is an old restored farmhouse, beautifully situated in the hills with panoramic views over the sea and the Tuscan islands.
ll Trebbiolo is in our experience, much more than just a hotel in the country. It's like more like a homely retreat with a large peaceful garden and a beautiful swimming pool, and also a typically cosy Tuscan restaurant
Keep your beach holiday in an orderly fashion at this neat and cosy holiday resort. Here you have your own patio, a lovely pool and it is only 7 miles to the good sandy beaches. It's a great base for the perfect sunny holiday.
Campiglia Marittima
In this modern holiday resort, you can relax on your patio or by the pool whilst the kids are playing and splashing in the pool. Just 10 km away are some of Tuscany's great sandy beaches.

Father's cancer struggle powers Garston man, Kirk Moon, to run 100k
Updated 2:30pm Thursday 3rd July 2014 in News By Beth Cherryman, Senior Reporter
A Garston man has run 100k - more than two marathons - to raise nearly £1,400 for Cancer Research UK, inspired by his dad who has been battling the illness.
Kirk Moon, 33, ran from 7.20am to 12.30am to finish the 62 mile trek along the Grand Union canal.
Despite rolling his ankle 25k in, the dad-of-two pushed on to complete the Active Challenge event in 17 hours 20 minutes - and he nearly tripled his £500 fundraising target.
Kirk lost three stone in training for the feet, but still found the distance hard going.
He said: "The worst part was between Hemel Hempstead and Tring, there was mud on the towpath, which made it really hard going - I felt like phoning and giving up. But that wasn't an option.
"Once all the sponsorship is collected it should raise about £1,300 or £1,400 - well beyond the target of £500."
Kirk, who lives in Cobb Green, said he wanted to support Caner Research UK for his dad and grandmother and because of the high number of people affected by cancer.
He said: "I chose Cancer Research because most people are hit by cancer, there's not many people who don't know a relative or friend with cancer.
"My father has been suffering with cancer, my grandmother on my father's side died of cancer and girlfriend's grandmother died of lung cancer.
"It's a very personal charity."
Kirk was one of 2,000 runners taking part in the event that day - tackling the longest distance from Paddington Recreational Grounds to Bletchley, near Milton Keynes.
The half way point of the race on June 28 was at Cassiobury Park.
His family, including seven-year-old daughter Poppy and three-year-old son Oscar, turned out to cheer him on.
Kirk, who works as front of house for Orbital Fastners on Tolpits Lane, added: "Thank you to my partner Sophie Hall for her support at the finish line and helping me back to the car. And another big thank you to my boss for the donation and support over the whole thing. And thanks to people coming out on the day and cheering me on - work colleagues, friends and family."
To make a donation visit http://www.justgiving.com/Kirk-Moon or text the code KDMO80 then the amount to 70070.

The new S-Class looks amazing, but for some reason 455 horsepower just isn't enough for some oligarchs, and waiting for an AMG version takes too much time, plus S65 AMGs are going to be everywhere in a few years. That's what tuner Brabus is for; taking great Mercedes cars and turning them into insane Mercedes cars via liberal application of horsepower.
Brabus will uptune the S-Class to 520 hp, 650 hp, or 730 hp for top speeds limited at 155 mph, 168 mph, or 186 mph. In addition to engine massages, the Brabus S also features lowered suspension, 19 to 21 inch wheels, and a sport exhaust.
