Close CD/DVD tray via the command line
For some reason, whenever I boot up, the CD tray opens. I've got jaguar, though, so I can't tell how helpful this hint is :P
Close CD/DVD tray via the command line
it might have something to do with your USB devices. It's happened to me before with certain brands of mice. If you hold down a mouse button while booting, the tray ejects - I'm figuring the USB device's intialisation process, depending on how it's done/handled, even without the button being held down it may be telling the system that it *is*, hence the tray eject on boot. maybe try unplugging your USB devices one by one until you find out which one causes it?

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals signed former first- round pick linebacker Aaron Maybin to a reserve/future contract Friday.
The 11th overall selection of the 2009 draft by the Buffalo Bills, Maybin played in eight games for the New York Jets last season before getting released on Nov. 13, recording just one tackle.
His best year as a pro came in 2011 while also with the Jets, as he finished the campaign with 11 tackles and six sacks.
The 24-year-old has 36 career tackles and six sacks over 48 career games with Buffalo and New York.

FORT WORTH -- A 43-year-old woman whose decomposing body was found hidden inside her garage in January -- almost two months after she had been reported missing -- died from ligature strangulation, the Tarrant County medical examiner's office has ruled.The suspect in her slaying, Matthew William Woychik, 21, is accused of strangling Tammy Marie Bates with a belt or with his hands, according to court documents.Woychik was arrested in Lee County, Miss., on Feb. 11 and charged with murder on Feb. 20. He remained in custody Wednesday.Family members last heard from Bates on Nov. 16, when she mentioned she was letting a man stay in her house, which she rented, in exchange for helping with the bills.Two days later, Woychik posted two videos on YouTube that had been taken inside Bates' living room. In the second video, in which Woychik rants about another woman, Bates' cellphone can be heard ringing unanswered in the background.On Jan. 27, Bates' ex-boyfriend discovered her body wrapped in blankets in the garage of the house in the 9900 block of Lone Eagle Drive in west Fort Worth, family members have said.In October, Woychik was arrested in Crestwood, Ill., on a bond forfeiture warrant in a misdemeanor domestic battery case involving the woman about whom he ranted in the second YouTube video.He had been arrested initially in March after the woman told police that Woychik had begun strangling her after becoming upset that she was talking to another man on the Internet, according to a police report.He told officers that he grabbed the woman by the throat and then cut his arm because he was upset about hurting her, the report states.Deanna Boyd, 817-390-7655Twitter: @deannaboyd

It's a strange time for Buffalo Sabres fans right about now.
On the one hand, the Sabres are the youngest team in the NHL, and are about to get younger once they bring up such exciting prospects as Joel Armia and Zemgus Girgensons, to name a few. In this sense, the rebuilding process has the potential to create a team that will electrify the Buffalo faithful for years to come.
Those who are more of the "glass is half empty" type of fan, however, may notice that the Buffalo Sabres made little to no effort to immediately improve a team that struggled on both ends of the ice last season. Sure, the future may be bright – but didn't the rest of the NHL use free agency and trades in addition to the draft? In this sense, fans should be angry that the organization took a pass on using every means available to rebuild the Sabres.
Like I said – strange days for Sabres fans. Today, I'm going to side with the fans who are excited by the upcoming season and think the Sabres are going to surprise a lot of people in the hockey world. Let's look at three reasons why the Buffalo Sabres are going to be a crew of over-achievers next year, beginning . . . now!

Caring for a Parent with Alzheimer's: One Woman's Story
I didn't know anything about Alzheimer's before my mother and my stepfather developed it at roughly the same time in the spring of 2005. I was living outside of Portland, Oregon; they were living in Mission, Texas. They were 86 and 84, respectively. I had tried to talk them into moving to an assisted-living community in Portland previously, but they always said they were doing fine. So I was surprised when my mother called one morning out of the blue and said, "We need help."
My husband and I immediately flew to Texas. And we walked into a nightmare. There were cockroaches in the kitchen and maggots in the fridge; the bathrooms were filthy, and we found evidence of rats. Both my mom and stepdad were skinny as rails. Their hair was dirty and scraggly. It looked like they hadn't bathed, eaten, or changed their clothing in months.
My husband and I immediately took over. We got durable power of attorney for both so we could handle all their affairs and started packing their belongings with the goal of moving them to Oregon. But after two weeks, my stepfather was hospitalized, and several weeks later, he died of pneumonia. I think once he knew we were there to take care of my mother, he could let go.
Living With a Parent With Alzheimer's
My mother moved in with us in Oregon. Caring for her was exhausting and heartbreaking. I work full-time as a police records specialist, so my retired husband took care of her during the day. He's the last person you'd expect to be a caregiver -- he's a big bear of a man who likes to hunt and fish -- but he would bathe her, dress her, paint her nails, and bring her to meet me for lunch. When I got home from work, he'd need a break, so I'd take over. I was also organizing her finances -- Social Security, Medicare, and selling her house in Texas. She often woke us up at night to help her to the bathroom; one night she woke us up 14 times. Sometimes it was so frustrating I had to scream into my pillow, if I wasn't crying into it already.
But other days she would sit and talk with us, just like the old days. Those are the days I remember best. We were lucky -- she never got to the point where she didn't recognize us or was violent. She stayed sweet and docile until the end when she died, at 88, of heart failure.
Looking back, I can't believe the strength I had. I had no idea I could do what I did -- willingly and with no regrets. Although she's gone now, I stay on WebMD's Alzheimer's Exchange as a tribute to her. I want to help others understand it's OK to get angry, frustrated, and sad. And I want them to know it's important to cherish the good days. If you give your parent or loved one a lot of love and support, you will never have any regrets.

Home Field Advantage doesn't help when you can't get home…
A funny thing happened on the way to the World Series…
While the Yankees have gotten good starting pitching, the one thing I knew they lacked will most likely be the reason that they will find themselves, once again, on the sidelines. Timely, clutch hitting. For whatever reason, when the Yankees bats go silent, bad things happen. After they were ousted last year by the Detroit Tigers, I felt the team needed to find some dependable, productive bats to help kickstart the offense during those lulls. The weakness does not get overly exposed in the course of a 162-game season, but in a short 7-game series, it most certainly does (particularly when your opponent is able to put baseball's best on the mound for one or two appearances).
The Yankees made a few minor moves in the off-season, but nothing to help enhance the offense. Yes, they signed Raul Ibanez and he has had some great at-bat's this post-season. But face it, he is not the player he was a few years ago with the Philadelphia Phillies. Ichiro Suzuki has been a positive but he was merely a replacement for what the Yankees had in Brett Gardner until he was injured.
When Robinson Cano is not hitting, there's no one on the team that is capable of carrying the team on his back. A-Rod's best days are clearly in the rear view mirror. Nick Swisher is a classic example of hot/cold, and Mark Teixeira is certainly not the feared slugger he used to be.
As I write this post, the Yankees trail the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS, 2 games to none. They are down 2-0 in the 5th, and Phil Hughes has left the game with a back injury. Justin Verlander is the opposing pitcher (and the aforementioned "baseball's best"). The mountain the Yankees have to climb seems impossible from my vantage point. Prove me wrong, I'd love it. But the Yankees hitters just do not match up well against Detroit's pitchers. I was enjoying it earlier in the season when it looked like the Chicago White Sox might win their division, but they faded and allowed the team I feared most to make the play-offs. Well, I feared the Tampa Bay Rays too, but started their late season rally too late.
Maybe Cherington was right to the blow up his roster…
The Yankees cannot go into the upcoming off-season with status quo in mind. With Alex Rodriguez's contract now becoming a huge albatross, what can the team do to overcome? Derek Jeter had a great season until his ankle injury derailed him. Can he put up another successful campaign next year. I wouldn't bet against him, but the realist in me knows that he'll be a 39-year old shortstop. At some point, the skills do start to erode. If the Yankees decide that Robinson Cano is not worth a behemoth contract, how do they fill second? At what point does Mark Teixeira become a liability? Those long, slow starts are becoming longer and slower as the years go by. All those questions and we havn't even gotten out of the infield.
The Yankees and GM Brian Cashman have many difficult decisions ahead. Putting the 2003 All-Star Team on the field is not the answer. We need the 2013 or 2014 All-Star Team! Okay, that's not realistic, but the Yankees need players with talent, ability and lots of upside. And, oh yeah, lots and lots of pitching.
George, are you there?…
Given that Hank Steinbrenner's fingerprints were on the re-signing of Alex Rodriguez, maybe the first action of the off-season should be to neuter Hank and leave the critical decisions to Hal Steinbrenner. Or better yet, seek a medium (is John Edward available?) to consult with the spirit of George Steinbrenner.
It's disappointing to watch the Yankees underperform on their way to a quick exit from the ALCS. Every divisional series went 5 games, and the NLCS has some fire to it. Meanwhile, the Yankees choke. C'mon, prove me wrong, I dare you…
We were once only one game away from the Sox?…
The 10-Game Roll…
Back when the Yankees were struggling, I knew in the back of my mind that it wasn't anything that a 10-game winning streak couldn't fix. Well, the Yankees have done just that with tonight's victory over the Atlanta Braves. Just like last year, interleague play has proven to be the Yankees' friend. Although the team hadn't enjoyed a 10-game winning streak for a few seasons, they did rise up to the challenge of interleague play last year and this year, well, they've been nearly invincible. Not bad for a team with questions throughout the starting rotation and perhaps its most valuable pitcher (Mariano Rivera) lost for the season.
Improved starting pitching from #2 through #5 has been the key. Of course, the resurgence of former retiree Andy Pettitte has been crucial, but Hiroki Kuroda, Phil Hughes and Ivan Nova have all been raised the level of their play. This sure beats last year when you could count on an implosion every fifth start by A.J. Burnett. To Burnett's defense, he has been very good for the Pittsburgh Pirates, proving that some guys are better served away from baseball's main stage. There was never any doubt about Burnett's arm so he just needed a place to get his head straight. But I digress. I prefer Hiroki Kuroda over Burnett, even though Kuroda has had a few clunkers of his own. Kuroda has always mixed in a few stellar starts and seems to finally be getting a grasp of life in the American League East.
Hats off to Cashman…
Why can't every trade work out as nicely as the one that brought Curtis Granderson to New York? After a slow start in the Bronx during his first year, Grandy has been nothing short of a superstar since. Time and again, he is getting a key hit and propelling his team to victory. The price of the trade was high, and the players going the other direction have fared nicely in their new surroundings, but the trade was worth it.
The personality alone is worth a few million…
With this being Nick Swisher's walk year, it is assumed that he'll move on after the season but I really hope that the Yankees find a way to bring his excitement and energy back to the Bronx next season. With the Los Angeles Dodgers' re-signing of potential free agent Andre Ethier, the free agent market won't yield anyone of Swisher's caliber. Sure, you can have Vernon Wells or Alfonso Soriano for a bag of peanuts and a boatload of cash, but I'd rather take Swish.
No recollection of who he played for between the Blue Jays and Astros…
So, Roger Clemens has been found not guilty. Good for him. Do I want to remember his Yankees legacy now that he is a free man? Sorry, where there's smoke, there's fire. Let Clemens be remembered as a Red Sock, Blue Jay, or Astro. I really don't want to see Clemens at any future Old Timer's games at Yankee Stadium unless he is buying a ticket.
Git 'er done!…
Note to Hal Steinbrenner: Break team tradition and get Robinson Cano signed to an extension. The key is the Yankees' MVP, and he deserves a contract that rewards a player of his caliber. It is unfortunate that the Yankees have so many dollars going to third base when their success or failure hinges on second base. If they were on opposing teams, there's no way that I'd trade Robinson Cano for the combination of Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter…
Spending the end of July in the Hamptons…
If the Yankees are players at the trading deadline, I am not sure that they'll focus on. An outfielder given the slow return of Brett Gardner? Another starting pitcher? But if so, who do you move out of the rotation? Last year, I was surprised when the team stood pat but this year, they probably don't have any choice. I think any moves will only be secondary in nature, such as another bullpen arm or some other auxiliary type of player.
Farewell to a beloved city…
My time in Minneapolis is coming to an end, unfortunately. I have really enjoyed my short stay in the city and I was graced with an incredibly mild winter so I leave with great memories and much sadness. Living in downtown Minneapolis, with a view of Target Field, was an incredible experience. I am returning to Northern California. No views of any baseball stadiums (Oakland, no thanks; San Francisco, too expensive), so I'll just have to deal with BART to find my way to games. As much as people in Minnesota complain about the winters, I am sure that I will be glad to be spending my Decembers and Januarys in NoCal but I definitely leave with mixed feelings. A new job opportunity pulled me back to CA, but I can't say that I am overly excited about the move (location; not job). I loved Minneapolis so I leave with a heavy heart…
$189 Million by 2014 or bust…
His accounting degree was the first tip-off…
So, it's true that the fiscal conservative in Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner is coming to the forefront. It's clear that the Yankees have shown considerable restraint in their financial decisions in recent years and none more evident than this off-season when the Yankees watched and let others pay exorbitant dollars for free agent talent. It was widely rumored that the Yankees have their eye on 2014 and the desire to get their payroll under the $189 million threshold for luxury tax purposes. But now that Hal Steinbrenner is on record for the stated goal, it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few years.
While there are other guaranteed contracts, the most notable in 2014 will be Alex Rodriguez. If he continues his deterioration as a star player, that $25 million in 2014 is going to look like a huge albatross. I haven't tallied the guaranteed dollars, but it's clear that the next few years will see similar off-seasons like the one we just experienced. No significant free agent signings, bargain basement 'right before training camp' deals like the one given to Raul Ibanez, and trades for young (and cheap) talent. It will also mean the Yankees won't overpay to retain talent, which probably shows the door to Nick Swisher.
Meanwhile, teams like the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers are profiting from regional TV deals (not to mention previous dollars they received through revenue sharing at the Yankees' expense). So, it will be other teams splurging on big talent, and the Yankees as a passive by-stander. There is some logic in the team's decision but I am concerned that it will bring an end to the winning run the Yankees have been on since the early 1990's. As a Yankees fan, the 1980's were very difficult. Yes, we were spoiled by George Steinbrenner's win at all costs mentality, but 90 to 100 loss teams wearing the grand tradition of the pinstripes seems sacrilegious to me. I am sure that the YES Network is not excited at that prospect either. But if the stars, like A-Rod and Derek Jeter, continue to wither while eating up valuable salary dollars, the team is going to develop a Pittsburgh Pirates feel to it. Very limited dollars to fill the holes.
In many respects, it is unfair that the salary threshold is equal among teams given the higher cost of living in New York, combined with the increased pressure that goes with playing on the biggest stage. Once the ownership situation with the Los Angeles Dodgers is settled, there will be a slugfest in LA as the Dodgers spend to rebuild their legacy and prominence in the City of Angels. Meanwhile, in New York, the Mets and Yankees will be scooping up the leftovers from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City Royals.
Okay, I might be a bit pessimistic but there will be a number of very difficult decisions to be made between now and 2014 as the Yankees attempt to reach their goal. If the Yankees win the 2014 World Series, then credit Hal Steinbrenner for being one of the greatest owners in Yankees history. If not, how long will it take to recover?…
Open mouth, insert foot…
You know, I don't really care what Bobby Valentine is saying in Red Sox camp. I know that if he were the Yankees manager, he'd be making disparaging remarks about the Sox. It just goes with the territory when it comes to Bobby V. Whatever helps him get motivated. Speaking of Red Sox managers, it was really weird seeing the ESPN clips of Terry Francona in Yankees camp, hugging Yankees and talking with Joe Girardi and his coaches. Unlike Valentine, I have a great deal of respect for Terry Francona. Regardless, the Bobby V ingredient should make the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry very spicy this year. It kind of sets the stage for Joe Maddon and the Tampa Bay Rays to steal the show…
I'm sure that A-Rod wasn't saddened by the news…
Since I am on the topic of the Red Sox, I should say congratulations to Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, who announced his retirement today. He was a hated players at times, but like Jorge Posada, his intensity was off the charts. He is the kind of guy you hate on another team but you'd love to have him on your team. I think his baseball career is only getting started as I see future success as a manager for him. I could even see him being an eventual replacement for Bobby Valentine. Regardless of what he decides to do, we haven't heard the last of Tek.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em…again…
Back to the Yankees, I am glad to see the return of third baseman Eric Chavez. It took a long time…right up to the start of training camp…but it got done. I liked Chavez in his years as an Oakland A, and while he isn't the player he once was, he is a great role player and teammate. He is also a very sorely needed third baseman given the fragility of the guy in front of him. Yes, Chavez is an injury risk but if he can stay healthy, he'll be an invaluable part of the 2012 Yankees.
The Seattle Mariners pipeline worked last time (Tino Martinez)…
I liked the Yankees signing of former Seattle Mariners closer David Aardsma. I don't think he'll be in the running for Mariano Rivera's replacement when THAT day comes, but it was a low risk, high reward signing. Having 7th and 8th inning options in late summer of David Robertson, Rafael Soriano, Joba Chamberlain, and Aardsma is a manager's dream.
Best wishes for a fast return…
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for former Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett. In a batting incident the other day, a failed bunt attempt led to a broken right orbital bone in his face. I was frustrated with Burnett as a Yankees pitcher, but I'll never dispute that he is a great guy and a terrific teammate. I am hoping that the move to Pittsburgh allows Burnett to flourish and hope the latest injury is not a precursor of things to come.
Don't trip on the snow rounding first…
It is hard to think of baseball when it is snowing. Snow has been a rare commodity in Minnesota this year, but we received slightly more than a dusting this week. Living by Target Field, it's strange to see the stadium and the surrounding snow while thinking that Joe Mauer and company are practicing to get ready to make the trip home to Minneapolis. I have already bought my tickets for when the Red Sox and Yankees come to town, however, the Yankees don't arrive in Minneapolis until late September. I hope that AL East will be decided in the Yankees favor by that time…
Names I've known all of my adult life, and in some cases, when I was just a Daydream Believer…
Whitney Houston, Gary Carter and now Davy Jones? This has not been a fun couple of weeks…
GM Cashman has total control, except when he doesn't…
I said 'NO', oh, by the way, here's a $30 million contract for you…
There is still not much to write about in the Yankees Universe. There's a report that Managing GM Hal Steinbrenner has talked with super agent Scott Boras about pitcher Edwin Jackson, but other than that, not much to talk about. Given that Steinbrenner orchestrated the signing of reliever Rafael Soriano last season (much to the disagreement of GM Brian Cashman), it would be interesting to hear what Cash has to say about Jackson. Universally, any team would be happy to sign Jackson on a short term, but a longer term deal is perceived as problematic. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The Yankees need a solid #2 or #3 pitcher in addition to the current roster, but it is not worth the price of paying Jesus Montero and/or Manuel Baneulos.
Personally, I would not be opposed to Jackson in the rotation as I feel that pitching coach Larry Rothschild would be a very strong influence on the pitcher. He certainly has the potential of being better than anything in the rotation outside of CC Sabathia.
It's a given that the Yankees need to do something. I think standing pat is the wrong approach. It would most likely ensure a second or third place finish behind the Boston Red Sox and/or Tampa Bay Rays. They need to improve the rotation. There are too many question marks attached to Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter will be another year older. The Yankees need a pitcher other than Sabathia that is completely capable of shutting down the opposition. Jackson can be that guy. I don't like the idea of "saving your bullets" for another off-season in terms of projected free agents. In 2013, A-Rod and Jeter will be another year older and further from their prime. Why couldn't have George Steinbrenner instilled this win at all costs mentality in his sons? Okay, fiscal responsibility is a good idea, but the Yankees need to ensure that they can withstand improved Red Sox, Rays and Blue Jays squads.

I like the Yankees' signing of former Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Preston Mattingly. Granted, Donnie Baseball is one of my all-time heroes. But I'd like to see what the Yankee coaches and instructors can do with the former first round pick. He certainly has the pedigree to succeed. But time will tell if he can be Ken Griffey, Jr… or Pete Rose, Jr. His current path leans toward the latter, but he is only 24 years old. This goes into the category of 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'. For Preston's sake, I hope that he succeeds in the organization that his father starred.
It was only $35.5 million…
I really feel bad for former Philadelphia Phillies closer Ryan Madson. Once rumored to be close to a 4-year, $44 million contract with the Phillies, he signs with the Cincinnati Reds for a one year contract at $8.5 million. He'll close for a fraction of the money that the Yankees pay 7th inning guy Rafael Soriano. The hope, obviously, is that liquidity will return to the closer market during the next off-season so that Madson can capture a lucrative long-term deal. I don't know what went wrong with his negotiations with the Phillies and what led to their acquisition of former Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, but he'll long wonder what could have been.
We'll give you over $50 million, but we'd really prefer to keep his salary at a couple mil…
For as much as the Texas Rangers bid for Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish, I will be very surprised if they fail to come to contract terms with Darvish returning to Japan. But at this point in the negotiations, you have to wonder if that's not the likely outcome. It would be interesting to see Darvish on the open market after next season. I wonder if that would change the Yankees interest level…
Wanted: Snow…
It's hard to believe that pitchers and catchers will be reporting to camp next month. I've been in Minnesota all winter long hoping for snow…and being sadly disappointed. At least the opening of baseball camps gives me something to be excited. I am looking forward to the debut of the 2012 Yankees! Bring it on!…
Not your Daddy's Yankees…
All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight, but I'll just listen to Beethoven…
The Miami Marlins make a big splash to create perhaps the best Marlins squad since 2003 in signing Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle, and Jose Reyes. The Los Angeles Angels rock the largest Hispanic community in the United States by nabbing #1 Baseball Superstar Albert Pujols. Oh yeah, they also picked up former Ranger ace C.J. Wilson along the way. Even the Boston Red Sox, in a season of chaos with the prolonged managerial search, managed to do SOMETHING with the acquisition of former Yankees reliever Mark Melancon from the Houston Astros for shortstop Jed Lowrie and minor league pitcher Kyle Weiland. Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, nothing…
I know, how do you improve upon a 97-win team? Baseball is a game of constantly trying to improve. A little here, a little there…a big splash here, a big splash there. This off-season the Yankees haven't fallen into any of those categories. They haven't even moved to re-sign outfielder Andruw Jones or third baseman Eric Chavez which, in my mind, are important cogs for the 2012 team.
The team with the most money is…
Tonight's wait is to hear whether the Toronto Blue Jays or the Texas Rangers have won the bidding for Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish. In the days of George Steinbrenner, the Yankees would have been the highest bidder and there would have been no speculation about who placed the highest bid (through a few "unnamed sources" within the Yankees organization). I am not saying that it is prudent to spend $50 million plus just to have the right to talk to Darvish, nor do I feel the Yankees made a bad decision by not going after him harder. But this is definitely a different Yankees ownership and one that is not particularly fond of footing the bill for the other owners through luxury tax payments. It's too bad the Yankees have so much wrapped up in Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. A-Rod, in particular, is not the player he once was and no longer worthy of his behemoth contract. I'll give Jeter the benefit of the doubt since he did finish 2011 strongly.
If the Yankees are gauging what they need to do by the Boston Red Sox or the Tampa Bay Rays, they're severely underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had trouble with that team last year, and the 2012 Jays will only be stronger (with or without Darvish).
If you're not winning, you're losing…
This has been a tough sports year for me. The Yankees felt like a team with shortcomings entering October and it revealed itself in the play-offs against the Detroit Tigers. They are still essentially the same team, minus a few players. There's nothing to lead me to believe that the World Series is in their immediate future. Meanwhile, my pro football team, the Minnesota Vikings, continues their march to become the worst team in professional football (only one game separates them from the Indianapolis Colts and the right to draft future NFL superstar QB Andrew Luck). I am sure that even Peyton Manning is a Vikings fan these days. It really stinks when you hope your team loses so that they can place higher in the draft.
I am not a Minnesota Twins fan, but I do live within view of Target Field so it's been tough watching local favorites Michael Cuddyer (Rockies) and Jason Kubel (D-Backs) sign elsewhere.
Clearly, I am someone that needs a 'pick me up' in sports. I want to see a player acquisition that I am excited about. Someone that brings energy, drive and commitment to the team, and helps them reach just a little bit further…
I will say that the Yankees should not trade Jesus Montero regardless of whether it could bring Gio Gonzalez to the Bronx. I'd love to see Gio in pinstripes, but I think that Montero has a chance to be a special talent. You just don't let guys like him get away, even if it means no acquisitions this off-season.
Is that too much to ask? Sometimes I wish Hank Steinbrenner's impulsiveness would prevail over Hal Steinbrenner's calculated intellect. Fiscal responsibility, with a dash of insanity. C'mon, we were "raised" by George Steinbrenner. Weren't you too, Hal?…
At least somebody is doing something…
Recently, I changed my NBA allegiance from the Los Angeles Lakers to the New York Knicks. I've been thinking about this move for several years, but adding Carmelo Anthony to Amare Stoudemire was the clincher. The latest news has the Knicks signing Baron Davis. As a former Bay Area resident, I was saddened when Davis left the Golden State Warriors to join the Los Angeles Clippers. He was perhaps the most popular basketball player in the area. I have a great deal of respect for him, and it's tremendous that he and I have come together on the same team. I know Baron is hurt so his Knicks debut will be delayed, but I really like the off-season moves the Knicks have made. I'd be foolish to think that they are suddenly a NBA finals team, but they are definitely getting better.
Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, just crickets…
If Hot Stove League has opened, when do the Yankees play?…
With the Boss, we OWNED November…
Life under Hal Steinbrenner is certainly different than it was under the Boss. In the old days, the Yankees would already be dominating the news in November. At the very least, their name would be attached as a strong possibility for every elite free agent. These days, the Miami Marlins, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers and even the Houston Astros have garnered more press time.
As for the obvious options, I do think the Yankees would be foolish to join the chase for free agent pitcher C.J. Wilson. I like Wilson as a starter, but he's not worth the cost. I still prefer Mark Buehrle because it wouldn't take as much money and even if he's not flashy, Buehrle gives you innings and is very consistent. After life on the A.J. Burnett and Phil Hughes Roller Coasters, I'd gladly accept some consistency in the middle of the rotation. As for trade targets, I'd love to get Matt Cain but I don't think the San Francisco Giants will trade him.
Now that Eric Chavez has indicated he wants to play in 2012, I hope the Yankees can find a way to bring him back for a second year in pinstripes. It's interesting that the team has acknowledged they may have been better off playing Chavez at third in the play-offs instead of the less-than-100% Alex Rodriguez. A healthy A-Rod is critical for next season and someone like Chavez, assuming he can also stay healthy, is the perfect backup because he can be a very effective starter in spots. At some point, A-Rod will probably see more time at DH than third, but that's not going to happen next year. Chavez is a good bridge to the point the Yanks need a new full-time third baseman.
Sleep deprived Houstonians…
I think the announced move of the Houston Astros to the American League in 2013 makes sense. I understand the negatives….they'll lose the Central Time Zone rivalries with the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs and will play more games on the West Coast…but I think they'll develop good rivalries with the AL CST teams. As for the time zone differences, they still have it better than the three hour time zone differences the AL East teams face on their West Coast trips. I realize that those are not in-division games, but all things considered, having balanced leagues for scheduling purposes is important. Plus, it didn't seem fair that the AL West had only four teams while the other divisions had five. I never fully understood why Milwaukee was moved from the AL to NL and I did think they probably should have been the team to move back to the AL, but clearly the MLB team owners used the sale of the Astros as leverage to force the move.
New meaning to 'one and done'…
Of the other changes, I am not sure what I think about the addition of a second wild card team, and moving to a one game wild card play-off. I didn't like the current system that did not differentiate between winning the division or getting into the play-offs as the Wild Card (except for home field advantage). But a one game play-off? That doesn't really seem fair either. I know that the argument is to win the division and not put yourself in the wild card, but it doesn't seem fair that one wild card team could finish 5 or 6 games ahead of the second team, but then lose out by virtue of a single off night. I know, 'don't put yourself in that position' but still… Nevertheless, I am sure that this change will motivate teams to continue striving for the division championship and not mail it in once the wild card is secured.
I thought they put their pants on just like I do…
I think the right choices were made for the AL and NL Cy Young Awards…Justin Verlander and Clayton Kershaw, respectively. How scary is it that Kershaw's only 23? Donnie Baseball has to be very happy with the top of his rotation. I am looking forward to the announcement of the MVP Awards, and I am in the category of those who believe that pitchers should not be considered for the award. Obviously, I am pulling for Curtis Granderson in the AL, but even if a Yankee wasn't up for consideration, I'd feel the same way about no pitchers for the award. The Cy Young is a pitcher's MVP award.
Trading Beer for Wind…
I was surprised to see Dale Sveum get the managing job with the Chicago Cubs. It's not that I don't think he'll make a good manager, but rather I thought he'd be a good fit for the Boston Red Sox. I had been hoping that Terry Francona would get the Cubs job, and when he withdrew his name, I thought that Mike Maddux would be the next call. I know that name withdrawals are usually prompted by behind-the-scenes conversations (Francona probably realizing that he wouldn't get the job), but I think it's a travesty that Tito won't be managing in the big leagues in 2012…unless that was truly his choice. If I owned a major league team, Tito would be at the top of my short list for managers. He may have been the manager of my team's most bitter rival but I have a great deal of respect for him. It would have been great to see him manage the Cubs to a World Series Championship after ending Boston's drought.
Joe Mauer, come back!…
I am still missing the lights of Target Field from my condo. I can see the lighted field name sign, but there is just something about those stadium lights that give a magical feeling to the skyline of downtown Minneapolis. I am looking forward to April when Jamey Carroll and the Minnesota Twins turn on the lights. As for how the Twins do, they can lose 99 games again…
Somehow I knew it would end like this…
Sad but realistic…
Well, the Yankees lost a series that they could have and should have won. I can't say that I am as disappointed as I've been in past years during play-off failures as I recognized the team had its fatal weaknesses that would be exposed the deeper it got in the play-offs. Clearly, starting pitching has been a problem. CC Sabathia has been great, but he hasn't been Justin Verlander- or Roy Halladay-great. He is still the ace and legitimately so, but the weaknesses in the rotation behind him put more pressure on CC to be perfect. That's a tough for anyone. Even if the Yankees had gotten past the Detroit Tigers, I am not so sure that they would have fared well against the Texas Rangers.
When the season began, I felt that on paper the Boston Red Sox had a superior team. My picks for the World Series were the Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies. I was wrong on both counts, but I felt that the Yankees weak rotation would put too much pressure on the hitters. When the big bats go cold, there just haven't been the consistent key hits off the bench. There have been a few here and there, but nothing like the critical and timely hits that Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui used to deliver. I was concerned that this would be the final fatal blow for the Yankees chances in 2011, and that's exactly what happened.
At the trading deadline, I had hoped the team would at least make an attempt to acquire a clutch hitter if they weren't able to find any pitching depth. They stood pat and did nothing. I agree that it was the right decision if the moves would have cost talent like Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances or Jesus Montero, but other teams found ways to spend a little to acquire a lot like the Tigers with their pickup of pitcher Doug Fister.
The priority move – sign Cash…
Although the 2011 season was a "failure" as per owner Hal Steinbrenner, I clearly hope the team decides to bring back GM Brian Cashman. No one understands the Yankees or the city of New York better than Cash, and he's still the right man for the job. With so much to do in the off-season, the Yankees need to move quickly to sign Cash. With CC likely to opt out of his contract, the Yankees will need to be equally as quick to renegotiate a replacement contract so that they can turn to ways to improve the team as opposed to sustaining the current depth of talent. I would hate to see the Yankees lose other opportunities because they are too focused with the Cashman and Sabathia negotiations. Last off-season, it appeared that the team was only capable of dealing with one issue at a time. When they were chasing Cliff Lee, it seemed as though that's all they did. They let other matters sit, including the topic of Andy Pettitte, until Lee surprised everyone and returned to Philadelphia. I am not quite sure why the organization is incapable of multi-tasking, but they do need to 'divide and conquer' if they intend to be the dominant force in 2012.
Looking forward to Jorge Posada Day…
Jorge Posada played very well in September and October, and he's been a fantastic Yankee, but the time has come for him to go. I hope that he decides to put the bat down and simply walks away. I'd really hate to see him try to play again in 2012, which most likely would be with a different team. His legacy is secured in Yankees history, and he'll always be treated as royalty by the organization. He was the greatest catcher since Thurman Munson, and he'll certainly be remembered in the same room with Munson, Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra, and Elston Howard.
The "Opt-Out" I wish would happen…
How great would it be if Rafael Soriano opted out of his contract? Sadly, that's not going to happen and the Yankees are stuck with the guy who is trying to be the next Jose Veras rather than the next Mariano Rivera…
Bay Area Losses…
Northern California has certainly suffered great losses this week with the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and now legendary Raiders owner Al Davis. Davis is one of the guys that you just thought would live forever. I am not a Raiders fan, but he revolutionized the game and was one of its most colorful characters. I admired his strength and resolve, and it's unfortunate that his final Raider seasons were filled with losses. The game certainly won't be the same without Davis…
Maybe McCourt should have said 'I don't'…
It is weird starting off a
post without talking about the Yankees, but I was shocked to see Major League
Baseball announce that they are taking over the Los Angeles Dodgers. They apparently will appoint a trustee to
oversee all aspect of the organization, including the day-to-day operations. The Dodgers have been a mess since the
divorce between Frank and Jamie McCourt became public. It's too bad because the Dodgers were playing
toe-to-toe with the Philadelphia Phillies when the divorce fiasco began.
Most likely, this will lead
to the eventual sale of the franchise so I hope that the next owner of the
Dodgers will bring the stability and the passion that the team sorely
needs. There is something wrong in the
world when one of the most storied franchises in baseball becomes a daily
tabloid soap opera.
The Dodgers situation
definitely makes me grateful that George Steinbrenner set up the succession of
power prior to his demise. For years, it
seemed as though neither Hank or Hal had any interest in running the
Yankees. For a time, it appeared that
the next managing general partner of the Yankees might be one of his daughter's
husbands. Given the subsequent divorces
they've experienced, I am so glad that they weren't given the reigns only to
have the organization muddled in a divorce situation. So, if anything else, I hope that Hal loves his
wife and she loves him. Let's keep the
Yankees in the Steinbrenner family for generations to come.
Speaking of the Dodgers, I
saw that Donnie Baseball turned 50 today.
Both Donnie and I were born in the same year so my turn will be
following shortly. It doesn't seem that
long ago that I was watching a game where the Yankees first baseman #23 was
celebrating his 23rd birthday while playing a game. I can still see that game in my mind. The Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 behind
Ron Guidry. Mattingly was 3-for-4. It's funny how that game sticks out in my
memory. Perhaps it was because it was
the year of his number. Whatever the
reason, I wish the Dodgers skipper a very happy and memorable 50th
Tonight, the Yankees beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 behind the great pitching performance of Bartolo
Colon. I have been a Colon naysayer
since the Yankees signed him but it was a great first start. I am concerned about his ability to sustain
it over the course of the season, but the guy definitely knows how to
pitch. This is not the same guy that
failed during his days in Boston.
Admittedly, I don't want to go into October with Colon as the #3
starter, but for now, he is exactly what the doctor ordered.

The stat that really stands
out to me about tonight's game is Curtis Granderson's sixth home run of
April. I am very excited that he has
continued the great progress that he's made in pinstripes. His early tenure was painful but he's become
a force in the outfield. Given the
questions with Brett Gardner and Nick Swisher, it is great to see so hats off
to the Grandy Man!
Now if Derek Jeter could
just start hitting…
He said what?…
I have to admit that I am embarrassed almost every time Hank
Steinbrenner opens his mouth. The latest
comments that seemingly were aimed at Derek Jeter although Hank denied it were
very inappropriate. 2010 was a
disappointing year with the way it ended, but it's done. There is nothing more that can be learned or
derived from the loss to the Texas Rangers.
At this point, it doesn't matter what happened leading up to that
series. There are a variety of reasons
for why the Yankees lost, but in the end, they were outplayed by a better
Hank justified his 'mansions' comment by indicating he was simply using
it as a euphemism. Personally, I think
Hal Steinbrenner is a euphemism for Hank but that's another matter.
Back in the days of George Steinbrenner and particularly during the
losing years of the late 1980's, the Boss used to infuriate fans with his
remarks. He seemed as though he was
always giving fodder to the press. As
mad as everyone used to get, I always found an honest truth in George's
words. I could never condemn him even
when his popularity at Yankee Stadium was non-existent. However, I have trouble finding the honest
truth in Hank's words. He comes across
as just an arrogant blow-hard. No
wonder that the family felt that the role of managing general partner was
better suited for the younger Hal.
To Hank's defense, I do always believe that ownership has the right to
say whatever they'd like. It's their
money and their team. But when it has
the potential to create a distraction for the team, then I get concerned. That's probably where I am right now with
Hank's words. There is no question that
the Boston Red Sox have the best team on paper.
Hank doesn't need to add to the adversity; he needs to help reduce or
eliminate the talent gap between the two teams.
From the sounds of it, Freddy Garcia is leading the pack for a spot in
the rotation. I've been concerned about Garcia's
history of poor springs as I've felt he had the most to offer in terms of the
competition for the two rotation spots.
He won 12 games with the Chicago White Sox last year and if he can
duplicate the season again this year, I think the Yankees would be very
pleased. No offense to Bartolo Colon,
but I really don't want to see the team break camp with him in the rotation or
the final roster for that matter. I was
always very pleased to hear that prospect Andrew Brackman has been turning
heads. He is a top flight talent that
slid in the 2007 draft to the Yankees because of his injury history. He may not be ready for the major leagues
straight out of spring training but odds are that he'll experience his Yankees
debut at some point this season.
Finally, I was saddened to hear that the St. Louis Cardinals have lost
ace Adam Wainwright for the season due to an elbow injury that will require
Tommy John surgery. I've always had a
soft spot for the Cardinals since I saw my first major league baseball game at
the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis when I was a kid. They are a classy organization with quality
fans. Losing Wainwright severely
downgrades the Cards' chances this season and that's unfortunate. Hopefully, there is someone in the
organization that is ready to step up their game to help provide a solid bridge
until Wainwright can return in 2012.
I am ready for some baseball…
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!…
Understandably, the signing was met with mixed reaction by Yankees fans, but personally, I liked the move to sign Andruw Jones as the team's fourth outfielder.

Actually not until summertime - I believe August. Wish it were January!
Yep. And with Verizon's blazing fast internet speed, still can get the show without the advertizements.
Everyone wants all the channels, with no ads, and no price increases. The providers dont win in these situations, and the customers lose as well.
Story about it:»www.multichannel.com/distributio···s/140400
Time for a law that forces unbundling of any channel charging a carriage fee over 50 cents. I have no issues with the hbo pay model where you choose if you want the channel, but this new model of higher and higher carriage fee channels being included in basic plans needs to stop.Eventually the greed of these networks will force government intervention, and this gravy train will come to a screeching halt.
Why is it EVERY time there is one of these disputes, it's AMC vs. a cable provider? AMC almost every time. Why is that? Honestly, I hope Verizon drops them, I'll just go to a torrent website I know the next day and watch the few shows I watch on there. IFC, We, and Sundance are horrible looking cropped trash.
ok agreement is up Dec 31. This is typical negotiating ploy to make the other side the bad guy. AMC wants everyone to blame Fios if on Jan 1 we don't have those 4 channelsThe telco issued its own statement on Monday morning: "There is no risk of FiOS TV customers losing AMC imminently, as AMC Networks has incorrectly claimed. This is nothing more than a desperate attempt by AMCN to scare our FiOS TV customers into thinking that they will lose their programming."Verizon has a history of working with top programmers to reach mutually beneficial agreements that enable our customers to continue enjoying the best programming on FiOS TVs industry-leading service," the telco continued. "We continue to work hard on behalf of our customers, as we negotiate with AMC Networks to reach an agreement that is reasonable and in our customers best interest. It is unfortunate that AMCN has decided to unnecessarily publicize these discussions, but not surprising as they have a history of using their viewers as pawns in their negotiations with distributors."
Exactly, this is my point. AMC/Rainbow Media uses scare tactics in every dispute. Cablevision winds up in one of these spats with networks all the time. Connection? Chairman of the board Charles Dolan.
Time for a law that forces unbundling..There is a law, it's the law of free market. As a seller, get what you can get. As a consumer, buy what you need or can afford. GOV does not need to be meddling in such trivial matters, nor (IMO) does it need to be meddling in what can be digitally shared.Quite playing with the latter and the former will work itself out.
Well if they do drop it, I certainly won't miss their horrible PQ. The worst channel for that in the Fios line-up!
I better not miss the Walking Dead!--Romney - Ryan 2012Christie 2016
What is the actual dispute? I can't find anything online about it.
Damn. So if the channel goes away it means I'll have to download the episode of the Walking dead about 30 minutes after it airs on torrent sites. Damn it all to hell.
Its always about money.
Its always about money.
AMC seems to always be in some sort of carriage dispute with someone...a few months back Dish Network was their target...I think they went 5 months without an agreement and they would run 4-5 commercials bashing Dish during every one of their prime time programs...now it's FiOS vs AMC...hope it doesn't last as long as the Dish disputeI really do wish AMC would stop making a big production out of every cable provider dispute...hopefully things work out with FiOS soon...losing AMC would be a huge loss, especially with Walking Dead and Breaking Bad
What is the actual dispute? I can't find anything online about it.
Just quit watching the channel. There's a few others to choose from.
My $.02 worthWhen it comes to a la carte services, I don't think most of us can afford what it would really cost to just get the channels we want.For this example:AMC reportedly charges around $.23/subscriber. So given an estimate I found on the Internet of approx 81M households having cable. I believe AMC is typically included to most users. That means that they get $18.6M/month. Last week Walking dead got 9M viewers. And assuming every one of those people would want to keep the channel, their cost would jump to over $2/month.And AMC has about an average carriage fee. So if you like the cheap channels and not the expensive ones, you could possibly save money.And for those that say I will just drop the channel and find the programs I want online, if that happens too much, the channels won't be able to afford the quality programming and it will disappear.All of this being said, it appears to be a never ending cycle. Channels want more money, eventually our costs go up.But this is no different than sports teams, movies and most other forms of entertainment.Ok, next person want to use the soapbox?
AMC is riling up Verizon customers now because they know that once the agreement expires on 12/31 with no new contract in place Verizon will take the channel off the air...so at that point there would be no point running those Verizon bashing ads because no Verizon customers would be able to see them (unless they go to a friend or family members house who has another cable provider)when Dish took the channel off during their 4-5 month contract dispute I would still see dozens of Dish network bashing commercials during AMC programming which really made no sense as the target demographic is not seeing it

To VZ: If AMC wants to charge more per subscriber they need to increase the HD PQ of their networks to a level worthy of being on FiOS TV.
Keep AMC!!!!!!
My $.02 worthWhen it comes to a la carte services, I don't think most of us can afford what it would really cost to just get the channels we want.
My rants:1. I'm with Zero - while the AMC picture quality has gotten better, it still isn't where an HD picture should be. If I'm to pay extra, make the broadcast better.2. I don't care, Verizon - go ahead and lose the channel. There's already too many things on TV for me to watch anyway. I'll miss the Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels and Mad Men, but I will survive.3. I'm not going to jump to ComCrap, Dish or DTV all because of 1 (or 3) channel. I am pleased with the service Vz provides and the number of HD movie channels offered is the main reason (and still is) why I went to FiOS in the first place. I've had Comcast and DTV in the past and still place Vz at the top.4. While quirky, I still love my DVR and STB combo and think it's worthwhile to keep. I'd love to go to TiVo, but there are way too many additional costs involved. I'm not paying for a TiVo box, a secondary box, two cable cards and service fees...5. I haven't watched IFC since the last season of Whitest Kids U Know. While IFC used to be one of my go-to channels 10 years ago, it has become boring and commercial-filled.6. Sundance - same with IFC and the Picutre Quality is worse than AMC.7. We channel? C'mon - I don't even have that channel saved to my Favorites8. Relax - it's not the end of the world (or is it?!). I'm sure they'll come to some agreement in the next month. Look at what the NHL did?! Oh wait...9. If you do jump ship, who's to say that in a years time, your new provider will have a fight with AMC?The bottom line is that I'm sticking with Verizon.JAH
AMC isn't what it use to be. I remember the days when they didn't cut and interrupt movies with commercials. We *rarely* watch that channel now.C'mon, Fios and bring on TCM in HD !
2. I don't care, Verizon - go ahead and lose the channel. There's already too many things on TV for me to watch anyway. I'll miss the Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels and Mad Men, but I will survive.
They went downhill after Rainbow Media got control, and turned these channels into a supposed cash cow....

SIIA Seeks Education Technology Innovators for Incubator Program
The Education Division of SIIA is accepting applicants for its Innovation Incubator program. Selected developers of promising technologies in the K-12 and postsecondary markets will be invited to participate in the SIIA Innovation Incubator program during the 14th annual SIIA Education Business Forum, December 9-10, at McGraw-Hill Conference Center in New York. The deadline to apply is September 26.
The SIIA Innovation Incubator program identifies and supports entrepreneurs in the development and launch of innovative learning technologies. The program began in 2006, and has helped dozens of companies enrich education through the use of software, digital content and related technologies. The Innovation Incubator program employs a peer-review process to identify the most promising digital education products. Successful industry leaders and peers also provide one-on-one mentorship before, during, and after the Forum to support the growth and success of identified innovators.
All education technology companies with innovations are encouraged to apply – from start-ups to established companies. A panel of SIIA member judges, consisting of prominent education technology industry professionals, will review and score each innovation, and collective scores will determine finalists and an alternate. Scores will be calculated based on:
Finalists will be asked to give webinar presentations to educators and administrators nationwide for the Educators' Choice and Faculty Choice Awards. Finalists will also present their products in person for Education Business Forum attendees. An additional winner and one runner-up will be chosen for the "Most Innovative" and "Most Likely to Succeed" categories based on the scores submitted by Forum attendees.

SIIA at ISTE 2014
Mark, Lindsay, and I were busy during the recent ISTE conference in Atlanta, Georgia! Our time was spent meeting with members, finding new members, promoting our reports, and learning about new and exciting trends in the Ed Tech Market.
The exhibit hall was packed with all sorts of companies, many of whom received a CODiEs sign to show that they were a finalist or a winner of the 2014 cycle. The exhibit hall was huge and took a team of myself and Lindsay Harman to get all of the signs out to our winners and finalists who represented a sizeable portion of the exhibitors present.
At our press conference on Sunday, the latest Vision K-20 report was released to a great turnout of industry professionals and reporters. The report was presented by Sue Collins of CollinsConsults who help drive the development of the Vision K-20 initiative and Susan Meell of MMS Education who wrote the latest report. The crowd was highly responsive and asked lots of questions about the Vision K-20 report and the sneak peek findings from our upcoming testing and assessment report. John Richards of CS4Ed presented a sneak preview of a new qualitative report on testing and assessment. This report is a follow up to findings in last year's K-12 Market Survey Report that showed a big increase in testing and assessment dollars in the market.
Most of the interviews we did were on video this year. We highlighted our work at ISTE with the help of C Blohm & Associates and did a summary interview with TouchCast. In between, there were more videos and phone interviews to further explain and clarify all of the results.
We co-sponsored the Ed tech start up pavilion and Pitch Fest competition, (both on the show floor) for the second year, which was very large and noisy. I spent much of Sunday judging the preliminary competition, then the finals early Monday morning. SIIA wants to congratulate the winners of this year's competition. We were able to speak with all of the Pitch Fest competitors and learn about their companies and how they could leverage SIIA benefits.
Our Member Breakfast and Feedback Forum on Tuesday morning was also a rousing success – even for 7:00 am in the morning. The event was co-hosted with COSN and the Winter Group and drew 50 members who were able to learn from 10 educators who participated in the focus group. The topic at hand was apps in schools and educators from around the country discussed the challenges of using them in the classroom and beyond. We ended the forum by singing Happy Birthday to Charlene Blohm.
ISTE 2014 had both high registration numbers and energetic attendees. We hope to be at ISTE 2015 for another great conference and expect to see even more SIIA member companies there.

SIIA Releases 2014 Vision K-20 Survey Report
SIIA releases the 2014 Vision K-20 Survey Report, its seventh annual national survey measuring U.S. educational institutions' self-reported progress toward building a framework that embraces technology and e-learning. The findings were presented at a press event during the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference. The report suggests that K-20 education institutions are striving for more digital educational goals, which are increasingly reached through Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.
Central findings from this year's report include:
The survey, which transitioned to a seven-point benchmarking scale this year, was distributed to nearly 1,000 educators and administrators with the help of many partner organizations – edWeb.com being the most prolific recruiter. SIIA also recognizes its lead partner, MMS Education, for its work on the Vision K-20 Survey analysis and report.

24Hundred Physical Store Launch
So, it's been a month since 24Hundred launched and opened it's first every physical store - our beloved flagship store in the heart of Richmond (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia). It was a long hard couple of months leading up to the launch, but with a sick team around me - we were able to deliver exactly what I had set out to achieve - a record store and boutique-feel clothing store all in one, and we're sure to leave all egos at the door!
The response has been overwhelming - from the 300+ kids that showed up for the launch party, a signing session with Motionless in White, Hacktivist and Asking Alexandria, through to everyone that ventures into the store. Old through young, the initial "wow" factor is obtained with all loving the look and vibe of what we've built in here.
When I was younger - record stores were a thing kept underground. Everything from location to the attitudes carried by staff - there was always a cloud of "too cool for school" hanging above. While we definitely want to be fresh as hell in here, we certainly want everyone to feel welcome - a sentiment I feel is firmly received with all customers leaving happy after shopping with us here at 24Hundred.
So whether you decided to just wander in on the way past, a new shopper at 24Hundred.net or have been there from the staff - we thank you all for the support, not only in 24Hundred - but the independent live music scene, for without this, we all wouldn't have what we love so dear.
<3 Duane.
24Hundred Store Manager.

UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez didn't let a busted face stop him from celebrating his victory last night -- the guy partied hard, bandages and all.
Cain and his crew hit up a club called The Mark in Houston, TX following Cain's epic win over top contender Junior Dos Santos at UFC 166 -- and despite the injuries, Cain kept a smile on his face.
In case you missed it, it was an awesome match. Velasquez eventually won out with a brutal TKO in the 5th round, but not without taking some damage himself.
Worth it.
You wouldn't think he's that bad ass looking at him. Brother could that be a mistake.
Significant damage??? That cut is nothing compared how he left dos santos face!!!!!!
Close match? I don't think so.
It wasn't close at all
FYI: The Mark is a gay club in Huston. Nice to have him on our team.
What are you on about close match?? Did you even watch it!!!
What are you on about close match...... Did you even watch it????
Obviously You need help in your sports dept. I'm available!
You obviously need help in your sports dept. I'm your man and I'm available!
Congrats Cain.
For the record... All Cain did was LAY AGAINST Jr. and the cage. He hit him (like last time), with everything he had however... he CANNOT put Jr. OUT!
Jr. Dos Santos lost this fight MORE than Cain WON it.
Yea, I'd like to see #4 for these two in the future.
i hear cain velasquez will celebrate in doggy style...

What Happens in Sunny Beach and Kavos...
Episode Guides
About the Show
Documentary series following young Brits on holiday abroad, to see what really happens in the hedonistic party towns of Sunny Beach and Kavos, away from parents and surrounded by temptation
What Happens in Sunny Beach... Trouble in Paradise
Friendships are tested and blood is spilled as the relentless hedonism of Sunny Beach takes its toll on childhood friends who swap sun and sea for A&E.
While a young duo pay the price for an eight-hour booze binge, three girls from Yorkshire see their holiday turn sour under the influence of the dreaded Jagermonster.
What Happens in Sunny Beach... Any Hole's a Goal
This episode takes a look at the unique sex lives of young holidaymakers in Sunny Beach, as they let loose away from the constraints of life in Britain.
The programme meets a group of school friends intent on carving more notches on their bed posts; and discovers what happens when inhibitions are cast aside, as young women take part in the most risqué sex games Sunny Beach has to offer.
What Happens in Sunny Beach... Don't Screw the Crew
Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, was once an upmarket playground for the Eastern bloc elite, but is now the new destination for British teenagers looking to get their fix of hedonistic fun. This episode takes a look at the secret world of the pleasure-seeking young Brits working in Sunny Beach for the summer.
The film reveals the unique rules designed by the workers to stop them from having sex with each other.
And a birthday celebration goes horribly wrong when one member of the crew decides to light a firecracker in the most unusual of places.
First Timers
This episode meet the Kavos virgins who sample everything the hedonistic party town has to offer: from nipple piercings and tattoos to super-strength cocktails and sex games on the beach.
For most of the holiday makers in Kavos this is their first holiday without their parents. The episode follows a group of girls determined to make their first parent-free holiday X-rated.
There's also the 19-year-old virgin hoping the girls of Kavos will lend him a helping hand; and the posh boys from Cheltenham whose first holiday away from boarding school lands them in a spot of bother.
Girls Abroad
This episode examines the psyche of the Kavos female, from the girls who lose their minds, as well as their knickers, when they come on holiday, to a group of glamorous girls who seduce the boys into paying for everything.
But one young woman goes home with more than she bargained for when her boozy night out results in a trip to the emergency room. And the reality of trying to earn a living as one of the island's exotic dancers is explored.
Drink and Drinking Games
The island's infamous drinking culture and its consequences are explored - where a toxic mix of cheap booze, no parents and no rules lands some young Brits in trouble, on what is often their first foreign holiday.
At the medical centre, there's cause for alarm when a young Brit is discovered collapsed on the bathroom floor of a bar under the influence of what the doctors suspect was a spiked cocktail.
The show also meets the resort workers who take pride in devising grotesque and humiliating drinking games, such as 'dirty pints', including a nauseous combination of beer, shower gel, urine and vomit.
Work Hard and Play Hard
The final episode meets the British workers in Kavos, including PR girl Jenny, who is tested for STIs, hit by a car and treated for malnutrition, all within a matter of weeks.
While holidaymakers find it hard to last a week in Kavos, the workers have to tough it out for the entire summer, which means night after night of heavy drinking, casual sex and low pay.
With no parents around and a job description that encourages binge-drinking and excessive partying, the few hundred British workers soon become a very distinct breed, more promiscuous and more prone to injuries and often needing the services of the local clinic, Kavos Emergencies.
Drunk and A&E
Alcohol is very much on everyone's mind in this episode in a town where excessive drinking is actively encouraged and where the cocktails are three times cheaper than back home.
It's hardly surprising that the 'Strip' is awash with drunk and disorderly behaviour.
Nineteen-year-old Niki is on holiday for the first time without her parents. She falls off a podium and gets a suspected fracture.
An open-minded mother and daughter's night of excessive drinking ends in disaster and a builder from York is told by the A&E clinic that he may have to lose his finger after a drunken night out with his friends turns nasty.
Getting Paid and Getting Laid
Twenty-two-year-old Daryl arrives from Nottingham knowing that over the next week he's the most likely of his friends not to find romance. But will his change in tactics deliver the encounters that he craves?
'Getting paid and getting laid' is the motto of the 400 or so Brits who work on the island through the whole season. Some sleep with a few; one is said to have bedded more than 100.
But while promiscuity is very much accepted, monogamy is unforgivable, and on the workers' regular 'booze cruise', an unusual punishment is handed out to the barman who slept with the same woman more than three times: a glass of urine to drink, and not even his own.
